Just last year, three videos were released which showed a 45-foot long tic-tac shaped object with incredible speed flying through the skies off the coast of California. The object revealed itself to Navy pilots off and on during a two-week period in November of 2004. The U.S.S. Nimitz aircraft carrier, as well as the support ships, such as the U.S.S. Princeton, all witnessed the bizarre and unexplained craft in the sky with it even being picked up on their sophisticated radar equipment.

Since that time, Cmdr. David Fravor has become a well-known name, as he was the Navy fighter pilot who engaged with the tic-tac shaped craft that was seen in the now famous UFO videos. Fravor has done several interviews since the videos were released, with one article quoting him saying, “I have never seen anything in my life that has the performance, the acceleration. Keep in mind this thing had no wings,” adding, “It’s moving around, left, right, forward, back. The radar starts being jammed. All of a sudden it takes off.”

Fravor was piloting an F/A-18F Super Hornet

Just days ago, Fravor did an interview with the Joe Rogan show where he went into new details and revelations about the 2004 UFO incident. He started off by mentioning that his F/A-18F Super Hornet was carrying dummy loads instead of live missiles because they were scheduled to participate in a training mission.

He then said that the pilots were unable to get a lock on the UFO with their radar because whoever (or whatever) was controlling the tic-tac shaped craft was blocking the radar systems. This is incredible, as the U.S. Navy has one of the newest, best, and most sophisticated radar systems in the world and for something to block their systems is absolutely fascinating.

Another very interesting fact that Fravor mentioned was that the investigations conducted by the military and the government are still ongoing as he has been to Washington several times already this year for confidential meetings with “high ranking government officials”.

Probably the most startling revelation was that another Navy pilot encountered an unexplained “kind of dark mass coming up from the depths” of the water in a 1990s encounter. He explained, “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 went on to say, “…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.” At that point, “the torpedo got sucked down underwater, and the object just descended back down into the depths. They never recovered it.”

Another surprising revelation was that he admitted that he and some other pilots would sometimes play pranks on people camping out in the wilderness in southern California by pretending to be UFOs in the night sky.

He described their prank by explaining, “We used to fly night vision goggles in Hornets a lot. And with night vision goggles you can see a campfire from like fifty miles away. We used to do it, the good spots were down in like El Centro, California. There’s some bombing ranges and people go camping in the Superstition Mountains…”

So they would fly around on goggles and sneak up on campsites, “And then you get the airplane going around 600 knots and then you pull the power back to idle so you can’t hear it,” he explained. He then added that when the planes would get close to the campsites, “…you pull the airplane into vertical and stroke the afterburners, let ‘em light off, you count to three and then you just go away. Instant UFO reporting.”

It’s good that these pilots have senses of humor, but I suppose it’s a little discouraging to those in southern California who have just finished reading this article and are now realizing that their “UFO encounter” might have just been Fravor and his colleagues playing pranks on unsuspecting campers.

The nearly two-hour interview can be watched in full here.

20 New Moons Discovered around Saturn, Total of 82 Surpasses Jupiter's 79 Moons, Contest to Name Them

Move over Jupiter; Saturn is the new moon king.

A team led by Carnegie’s Scott S. Sheppard has found 20 new moons orbiting Saturn. This brings the ringed planet’s total number of moons to 82, surpassing Jupiter, which has 79. The discovery was announced Monday by the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center.

Each of the newly discovered moons is about five kilometers, or three miles, in diameter. Seventeen of them orbit the planet backwards, or in a retrograde direction, meaning their movement is opposite of the planet’s rotation around its axis. The other three moons orbit in the prograde—the same direction as Saturn rotates.

Two of the prograde moons are closer to the planet and take about two years to travel once around Saturn. The more-distant retrograde moons and one of the prograde moons each take more than three years to complete an orbit.

The discovery images for the newly found very distant prograde moon of Saturn. They were taken on the Subaru telescope with about one hour between each image. The background stars and galaxies do not move, while the newly discovered Saturnian moon, highlighted with an orange bar, shows motion between the two images.

“Studying the orbits of these moons can reveal their origins, as well as information about the conditions surrounding Saturn at the time of its formation,” Sheppard explained.

The outer moons of Saturn appear to be grouped into three different clusters in terms of the inclinations of the angles at which they are orbiting around the planet. Two of the newly discovered prograde moons fit into a group of outer moons with inclinations of about 46 degrees called the Inuit group, as they are named after Inuit mythology. These moons may have once comprised a larger moon that was broken apart in the distant past. Likewise, the newly announced retrograde moons have similar inclinations to other previously known retrograde Saturnian moons, indicating that they are also likely fragments from a once-larger parent moon that was broken apart. These retrograde moons are in the Norse group, with names coming from Norse mythology. One of the newly discovered retrograde moons is the farthest known moon around Saturn.

“This kind of grouping of outer moons is also seen around Jupiter, indicating violent collisions occurred between moons in the Saturnian system or with outside objects such as passing asteroids or comets,” explained Sheppard.

The other newly found prograde moon has an inclination near 36 degrees, which is similar to the other known grouping of inner prograde moons around Saturn called the Gallic group. But this new moon orbits much farther away from Saturn than any of the other prograde moons, indicating it might have been pulled outwards over time or might not be associated with the more inner grouping of prograde moons.

If a significant amount of gas or dust were present when a larger moon broke apart and created these clusters of smaller moon fragments, there would have been strong frictional interactions between the smaller moons and the gas and dust, causing them to spiral into the planet.

“In the Solar System’s youth, the Sun was surrounded by a rotating disk of gas and dust from which the planets were born. It is believed that a similar gas-and-dust disk surrounded Saturn during its formation,” Sheppard said. “The fact that these newly discovered moons were able to continue orbiting Saturn after their parent moons broke apart indicates that these collisions occurred after the planet-formation process was mostly complete and the disks were no longer a factor.”

The new moons were discovered using the Subaru telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The observing team included Sheppard, David Jewitt of UCLA, and Jan Kleyna of the University of Hawaii.

“Using some of the largest telescopes in the world, we are now completing the inventory of small moons around the giant planets,” says Scott Sheppard. “They play a crucial role in helping us determine how our Solar System’s planets formed and evolved.”

Last year, Sheppard discovered 12 new moons orbiting Jupiter and Carnegie hosted an online contest to name five of them.

“I was so thrilled with the amount of public engagement over the Jupiter moon-naming contest that we’ve decided to do another one to name these newly discovered Saturnian moons,” Sheppard said. “This time, the moons must be named after giants from Norse, Gallic, or Inuit mythology.”

While the truth of the incredible Tic Tac UFO encounter of 2004 is increasingly being accepted even by the traditional established media and even (somewhat) the world of politics and government, very few people have dared to explore the implications of what it means.

Objects able to travel many thousands of miles per hour, easily outperform top military jets, leave no heat signature, and even read highly encrypted communications seemingly with ease -- these are seriously unexplained questions.

Let alone that all this happened in 2004. It's not enough that we throw up our hands and exclaim "unknown!" We know they are "unknown."

The question we need to start asking in the public forum is much more challenging: what (realistically) CAN these objects be?

And WHO (what?) is the group that is behind them? Is there is way realistically to explain this as human technology and science? Or not?

Did A Massive UFO Fleet Appear Over Atlantic Ocean?

A new video posted on YouTube showed what appeared to be a massive UFO fleet flying over the North Atlantic Ocean. The objects within the alleged fleet appeared like bright orbs floating in the sky.

The video was taken by a YouTube user named William and was posted on Sept. 28. According to William, he was traveling by ferry from Ocracoke Village to Swan Quarters in North Carolina.

As the ferry was traversing through the water, William spotted several bizarre objects flying in the sky. As shown in the video, there were about 14 orb-like objects hovering over the ocean. They do not seem to be flying in a distinct pattern or formation.

As William noted, he saw the objects while the ferry was in the middle of the ocean. He pointed out that the boat was not near any land or water-based structure that could have caused the appearance of the glowing orbs.

UFO enthusiast Scott Waring of ET Data Base shared William’s video on his blog and claimed that the U.S. military has already clarified that it was not conducting any type of operation in the area when the orbs appeared.  Waring then assumed that the objects were part of a UFO fleet that was preparing to leave Earth.

“U.S. military has gone on record to deny any military flares or activity in the area, so that rules out the one and only possibility,” Waring wrote in a blog post. “This is a UFO fleet preparing to leave. When UFOs move from world to world or base to base, they often fly together.”

“These are from an underwater base about 5 [kilometers] below the ocean floor,” he continued. “Yes, directly below those UFOs is an alien base.”

Although the exact nature of the objects in Williams’ video is still unknown, they resemble the Starlink satellites launched by SpaceX in May. After launching, the 60 Starlink satellites moved across the sky like a “train of stars.” Due to the appearance of the satellites, hundreds of people thought they were part of a UFO fleet.

Fleet Of UFOs Over North Atlantic Ocean. UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 18, 2019

Location of sighting: North Carolina, USA

William was on a ferry traveling from Ocracoke Village to Swan Quarters North Carolina. The UFOs were recorded over North Atlantic Ocean.

US military has gone on record to deny any military flares or activity in the area, so that rules out the one and only possibility. This is a UFO fleet preparing to leave. When UFOs move from world to world or base to base, they often fly together. These are from an underwater base about 5km below the ocean floor. Yes, directly below those UFOs is an alien base. The fleet is waiting for each other as the water drips off each of the UFOs before they travel in space. The water can freeze and cause problems on the outer hull of the alien craft when flying at faster than light speeds. 

This is very similar to what I personally witnessed over my parking lot in Rapid City, SD back in 1989. But they flew away one by one...time between was perfect as they left.

This photo shows the crater in which the China rover found the gel substance...and as you can see, its not gel, but a side panel made of a metallic substance partially buried under the surface of the moon. This is 100% proof that aliens have been on the moon and the China rover has proven it. This doesn't look like a gel to me. They said its shiny...yes...because its a metallic sheet of metal clearly made by intelligent beings. Why is it buried? Perhaps the moon is just an alien space station and they covered its surface with dirt and rocks in order to protect its surface area and to disguise them from primitive cultures like our own.

Tic Tac UFO Seen Crossing Sky Over Illinois, On Oct 7, 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.

I just randomly looked up at the sky and then back down then I said to myself,”that’s not a plane” and looked back up and saw a bright white tic tac object traveling south that wasn’t making a sound so I took out my phone a snapped a live picture. As soon as I took the picture i tried to snap another but a tree was in the way, so I went out to the street to see if I could see it but it was gone.

NASA is testing a 3D-printed prototype of unusual mini robots that can roll, fly, float and swim, then morph into a single machine. They’re called Shapeshifters. The team envisions them as a way to explore Saturn’s moons.

Shapeshifting has been an enduring device throughout literature, and we see shapeshifting everywhere in modern science fiction, for example, the shapeshifting android assassin in the Terminator movies. Even my 6-year-old grandson – who loves to spend an afternoon building with Legos – knows about shapeshifting robots. And now NASA engineers have gone into shapeshifting robots in a big way … for real. According a September 25, 2019, statement from NASA, a robotics team is testing a 3D-printed prototype of an unusual mini-robot at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The robot can roll, fly, float and swim, then morph into a single machine. NASA is calling this series of robots Shapeshifters.

A prototype of the transforming robot Shapeshifter is tested in the robotics yard at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Shapeshifter is made of smaller robots that can morph into rolling spheres, flying drones, swimming submersibles, and more.

Robotics technologist Ali Agha – who leads the Shapeshifter program for JPL – envisions Shapeshifter as a mission to Saturn’s largest moon Titan, the only other world in the solar system known to have liquid in the form of methane lakes, rivers and seas on its surface. NASA said Shapeshifter is:

… a developing concept for a transformational vehicle to explore treacherous, distant worlds.

A contraption that looks like a drone encased in an elongated hamster wheel rolls across the yard, then splits in half. Once separated, the two halves rise on small propellers, effectively becoming flying drones for aerial exploration. These 3D-printed parts are only the beginning; the team imagines a series of up to 12 robots that could transform into a swimming probe or a team of cave explorers.

Okay, maybe it sounds cooler than the actual prototype looks, for now. But NASA engineers are just starting down the path of shapeshifting robots, and who knows what the future will bring? In the meantime, here’s what the prototype looks like:

A prototype of the transforming robot Shapeshifter is tested in the robotics yard at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Shapeshifter is made of smaller robots that can morph into rolling spheres, flying drones, swimming submersibles and more. This flying amphibious robot is part of the early-stage research program NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC), which offers several phases of funding to visionary concepts. NASA says the program “helps turn ideas that sound like science fiction into science fact.”

NASA’s most recent mission to Saturn and its moons was the Cassini mission, which began orbiting Saturn in 2004 and ended with a dramatic plunge into Saturn’s clouds in 2017. Cassini spent 13 years orbiting Saturn, flying different pathways among its moons. It flew by Titan over 100 times, with the goal, NASA said, of mapping its surface for future missions. Cassini found that Titan is similar to Earth but – because it’s so much farther from the sun, in a colder part of the solar system – Titan has key differences. It has cold rivers, lakes and rain made up of liquid methane and ethane, both of which exist on Earth in gaseous form. NASA said the moon’s hazy atmosphere could also conceal caves or icy volcanoes that spew ammonia or water instead of magma. Agha explained in the NASA statement why shapeshifting robots would be so useful there:

We have very limited information about the composition of the surface. Rocky terrain, methane lakes, cryovolcanoes – we potentially have all of these, but we don’t know for certain.

So we thought about how to create a system that is versatile and capable of traversing different types of terrain but also compact enough to launch on a rocket.

NASA said:

Agha and his Shapeshifter co-investigators, who include researchers from Stanford and Cornell universities, came up with the concept of a self-assembling robot made of smaller robots called ‘cobots.’ The cobots, each housing a small propeller, would be able to move independent of one another to fly along cliffsides of scientific interest. They could also go spelunking, forming a daisy chain to maintain contact with the surface. Or they could transform into a sphere to roll on flat surfaces and conserve energy.

For now, Shapeshifter is semi-autonomous, but its future design will depend on cobots that can auto-assemble without needing commands from Earth.

Agha’s ultimate vision includes a lander like the European Space Agency’s Huygens Probe, which touched down on Titan after being deployed via parachute by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. This ‘mothercraft,’ as Agha calls it, would serve as an energy source for the cobots and carry the scientific instruments to perform in-depth sample analysis. But rather than staying in place, as landers usually do, this one would be portable. Flight is easier on Titan, where the atmosphere is dense and gravity is low. Agha calculates that 10 cobots could easily lift a lander the size of Huygens (roughly 9 feet, or 3 meters, wide) and gently carry it to different locations.

Jason Hofgartner is JPL’s lead scientist for Shapeshifter. He said:

It is often the case that some of the hardest places to get to are the most scientifically interesting because maybe they’re the youngest, or they’re in an area that was not well characterized from orbit.

Shapeshifter’s remarkable versatility enables access to all of these scientifically compelling places.

The next mission to Titan will be Dragonfly, NASA’s first rotorcraft lander, which is scheduled to launch in 2026. Shapeshifter won’t be aboard. It’s too new and too undeveloped. The next step for the Shapeshifter team is to submit its concept to NIAC’s Phase II selection process in 2020. After that, there are many more years of development ahead.

Still, the concept is a compelling one. And people like my grandson might be around long enough to see some amazing solar system exploration, using real Shapeshifters.

Artist’s concept of proposed design for future Shapeshifter robot, which would consist of many robots in one.

• Bottom line: NASA is testing a 3D-printed prototype of unusual mini robots that can roll, fly, float and swim, then morph into a single machine. They’re called Shapeshifters. The team envisions them as a way to explore Saturn’s moons.

Scientists have found earliest signs of life on earth in “exceptionally preserved” 3.5 billion year old microbes which could start explain how life began

The discovery could also help researchers find proof of life on Mars - or other planets.

 by Jim Leffman

Scientists have found the earliest signs of life on earth in “exceptionally preserved” 3.5 billion year old microbes which could start to explain how it all began.

The discovery could also help researchers find proof of life on Mars – or other planets.

The astonishing find was made in some of Earth’s oldest rocks, called stromatolites – ancient bacterial formations in Western Australia.

The stones are found in an ancient geological anomaly called Dresser Formation.

While scientists have long believed the rocks contained evidence of prehistoric life since they were discovered in the 1980s, they haven’t been able to prove it until today.

Dr Raphael Baumgartner, a research associate of the Australian Centre for Astrobiology at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), said: “This is an exciting discovery – for the first time, we’re able to show the world that these stromatolites are definitive evidence for the earliest life on Earth.”

Professor Van Kranendonk, director of the Australian Centre for Astrobiology at UNSW who led the research, said the discovery is the closest the team have come to a “smoking gun” to prove the existence of such ancient life

He said: “This represents a major advance in our knowledge of these rocks, in the science of early life investigations generally, and – more specifically – in the search for life on Mars.

“We now have a new target and new methodology to search for ancient life traces.”

Dr Baumgartner added: “Understanding where life could have emerged is really important in order to understand our ancestry. And from there, it could help us understand where else life could have occurred – for example, where it was kick-started on other planets.”

Their study is published in the journal Geology.

Stromatolites in the Dresser Formation are usually sourced from the rock surface, and worn down so scientists had to drill further down into the rock.

Dr Baumgartner continued: “In this study, I spent a lot of time in the lab, using micro-analytical techniques to look very closely at the rock samples, to prove our theory once and for all.

“Looking at drill core samples allowed us to look at a perfect snapshot of ancient microbial life.”

He couldn’t contain his excitement when he realised he was onto the discovery of a lifetime.

He found that the stromatolites are essentially composed of pyrite – a mineral also known as ‘fool’s gold’ – that contains organic matter.

Dr Baumgartner said: “The organic matter that we found preserved within pyrite of the stromatolites is exciting – we’re looking at exceptionally preserved coherent filaments and strands that are typically remains of microbial biofilms.

“Such remains have never been observed before in the Dresser Formation, and that actually seeing the evidence down the microscope was incredibly exciting.

“I was pretty surprised – we never expected to find this level of evidence before I started this project. I remember the night at the electron microscope where I finally figured out that I was looking at biofilm remains.

“I think it was around 11pm when I had this ‘eureka’ moment, and I stayed until three or four o’clock in the morning, just imaging and imaging because I was so excited. I totally lost track of time.”

The new findings come just two years after another study which found evidence of the same rocks in hot springs in the same region – telling the researchers microbial life on land had existed 580 million years earlier than they previously thought.

Just last month, NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) scientists spent as week in the Pilbara with Martin Van Kranendonk for specialist training in identifying signs of life in these same ancient rocks.

It was the first time that Van Kranendonk shared the region’s insights with a dedicated team of Mars specialists – a group including the Heads of NASA and ESA Mars 2020 missions.

Professor Van Kranendonk said: “It is deeply satisfying that Australia’s ancient rocks and our scientific know-how is making such a significant contribution to our search for extra-terrestrial life and unlocking the secrets of Mars.”

Archaeologists claim 'Swiss Stonehenge' discovered under Lake Constance is a man-made Neolithic monument built 5,500 years ago

• The stones — or cairns — have been discovered as part of an ongoing research project at lake Constance  
• It involved a boat equipped with a digger designed to shift sediment around the vast rocks 
• Now researchers have preliminary claimed that they are up to 100 inches wide and 5,500 years old 
• Further analysis is needed in order to understand how the allegedly man-made rocks made it to their location

By JOE PINKSTONE FOR MAILONLINE 

Archaeologists claim that a range of mysterious man-made stones submerged beneath the surface of an European lake are 5,000 years old.

Local media reports that the so-called 'Swiss Stonehenge' sits 15feet down at the bottom of Lake Constance and is a Neolithic relic, with stones ranging in size up to around 100 inches wide.  

The man-made piles of stones were found on the Swiss side of the lake, a 207-square-mile body of water on the borders of Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

Each stone was located at regular intervals running completely parallel to the Swiss shoreline.

A spokesman at the Archaeology Office of the Swiss Canton of Thurgau described the findings as 'sensational' after carrying out excavations of the lake bed.

A ship equipped with a digger with a 15-metre-long arm removed material alongside the stones to reveal them for study.  

Analysis of how they were placed shows they were put down by humans and not by nature, archaeologists claim.  

Using underwater georadar developed by the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany, the team of scientists managed to study the lake's sediment and stone deposits in search of the origin and purpose of the formations.

The Archaeology Office wrote: 'With high-frequency electromagnetic pulses, the hidden layer of the lake bed in the vicinity of the stone structures was recorded.'

'It is obvious that the stones of up to 40 centimetres in size rest on the post-glacial, banded lake deposits and clearly above the underlying upper edge of the moraine [a glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris].

'Thus, it is now scientifically proven that the cairns did not originate naturally from the glacier, but were piled up by human hands.'

The man-made piles of stones were found on the Swiss side of Lake Constance, a 207-square-mile lake on the borders of Switzerland, Germany and Austria and work is ongoing to learn more about them 

Each stone was located at regular intervals running completely parallel to the Swiss shoreline at a depth of about 15 feet

A spokesman at the Archaeology Office of the Swiss Canton of Thurgau described the findings as 'sensational' after carrying out extensive excavations on the lake bed

The spokesman added: 'The first results produced using carbon dating show that the stones in area 5 were placed there around 5,500 years ago in the Neolithic period.'

In the following months, further investigations will be carried out with the hope of discovering more about the artefacts, which will be analysed by an international team of researchers.

Initially, it was unclear whether the stones were natural formations from the remnants of a glacier which was located in the area 18,000 years ago.

The researchers had originally suspected that the formations were from the Bronze Age dating back to around 1000 BC.

Currently, there are various theories about the purpose of the stones, such as that they served as weirs, burial mounds or signposted transportation routes.

Urs Leuzinger, a researcher on the project, estimates that at the time of construction, the cairns were located along the shoreline or even in shallow water.

He said: 'I've never really experienced anything like this. Whenever we dig something up, we usually know what it's all about.'

He said that his team 'has no intention to compete with the original Stonehenge', saying that the moniker had been 'chosen by German media' and not by archaeologists. 

However, he said that there are some similarities with the Wiltshire monument as it required an equally impressive feat by prehistoric humans to transport such stones.

Dr Leuzinger said: 'After all, our 170 cairns of 500 cubic metres of stones each does bring quite a decent amount to the shores of Lake Constance.'

The cairns were first discovered in 2015 by the Institute for Lake Research in the town of Langenargen in the south-western German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

It is thought they would have been near to a settlement of lake dwellings which are much deeper under water perhaps close to what was once a prehistoric shoreline and are yet to be discovered, according to the Thurgau Office for Archaeology.

But they added: 'It may also be the case that the lake dwellings have already eroded away due to the erosion over the years.'

Divers investigating the site have been finding out more about the rocks, including their age.Currently, there are various theories about the purpose of the stones, such as that they served as weirs, burial mounds or signposted transportation routes

Deep below a European lake lies a man-made monument that scientists have called the “Swiss Stonehenge”. The mysterious stones rest 15 feet below the surface on the Swiss side of Lake Constance which is a 207-square-mile body of water that borders Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. They were initially discovered in 2015 by the Institute for Lake Research in Langenargen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany.

The Neolithic relic consists of 5,000-year-old stones with some of the stones measuring as wide as 100 inches and was laid out in a way that they were situated parallel to the Swiss shoreline. A ship with a digger removed seabed materials that had gathered beside the stones in order to study them further. A spokesman at the Archaeology Office of the Swiss Canton of Thurgau said that the discovery was a “sensational” find.

Lake Constance

The Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany created an underwater georadar to study the stones in hopes of finding out their origin and why they were put there in the first place. It has been determined that the stones were put there by humans and not created naturally by nature.

Since there had been a glacier in that area 18,000 years ago, it was first thought that the stones may have been made by nature, but that hypothesis has been disproven. “It is obvious that the stones of up to 40 centimeters in size rest on the post-glacial, banded lake deposits and clearly above the underlying upper edge of the moraine [a glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris]”, the Archaeology Office wrote, adding, “Thus, it is now scientifically proven that the cairns did not originate naturally from the glacier, but were piled up by human hands.”

It’s still unclear as to why the stones were put there in the first place, but several theories have emerged, such as that they were used as weirs, burial mounds, and signposted transportation routes. Urs Leuzinger, who works as a researcher on the project, believes that the stones were put either along the shoreline or in shallow water during the time of its construction.

With several similarities to the famous monument in Wiltshire, England, this Neolithic relic has been nicknamed the “Swiss Stonehenge”.

“I’ve never really experienced anything like this. Whenever we dig something up, we usually know what it’s all about,” he said. He continued on by stating, “Our 170 cairns of 500 cubic meters of stones each does bring quite a decent amount to the shores of Lake Constance.”

An international team of researchers will conduct further studies in the upcoming months to learn more about these fascinating stones. Several pictures of the stone monument called “Swiss Stonehenge” can be seen here.

Peculiar Sounds Recorded on Mars

Put an ear to the ground on Mars and you’ll be rewarded with a symphony of sounds. Granted, you’ll need superhuman hearing, but NASA’s InSight lander comes equipped with a very special “ear.”

The spacecraft’s exquisitely sensitive seismometer, called the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS), can pick up vibrations as subtle as a breeze. The instrument was provided by the French space agency, Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), and its partners.

SEIS was designed to listen for marsquakes. Scientists want to study how the seismic waves of these quakes move through the planet’s interior, revealing the deep inner structure of Mars for the first time.

But after the seismometer was set down by InSight’s robotic arm, Mars seemed shy. It didn’t produce its first rumbling until this past April, and this first quake turned out to be an odd duck. It had a surprisingly high-frequency seismic signal compared to what the science team has heard since then. Out of more than 100 events detected to date, about 21 are strongly considered to be quakes. The remainder could be quakes as well, but the science team hasn’t ruled out other causes.

Quakes

Put on headphones to listen to two of the more representative quakes SEIS has detected. These occurred on May 22, 2019 (the 173rd Martian day, or sol, of the mission) and July 25, 2019 (Sol 235). Far below the human range of hearing, these sonifications from SEIS had to be speeded up and slightly processed to be audible through headphones. Both were recorded by the “very broad band sensors” on SEIS, which are more sensitive at lower frequencies than its short period sensors.

The Sol 173 quake is about a magnitude 3.7; the Sol 235 quake is about a magnitude 3.3.

• https://soundcloud.com/nasa/quake-sol-235

Each quake is a subtle rumble. The Sol 235 quake becomes particularly bass-heavy toward the end of the event. Both suggest that the Martian crust is like a mix of the Earth’s crust and the Moon’s. Cracks in Earth’s crust seal over time as water fills them with new minerals. This enables sound waves to continue uninterrupted as they pass through old fractures. Drier crusts like the Moon’s remain fractured after impacts, scattering sound waves for tens of minutes rather than allowing them to travel in a straight line. Mars, with its cratered surface, is slightly more Moon-like, with seismic waves ringing for a minute or so, whereas quakes on Earth can come and go in seconds.

Mechanical Sounds and Wind Gusts

SEIS has no trouble identifying quiet quakes, but its sensitive ear means scientists have lots of other noises to filter out. Over time, the team has learned to recognize the different sounds. And while some are trickier than others to spot, they all have made InSight’s presence on Mars feel more real to those working with the spacecraft.

“It’s been exciting, especially in the beginning, hearing the first vibrations from the lander,” said Constantinos Charalambous, an InSight science team member at Imperial College London who works with the SP sensors. “You’re imagining what’s really happening on Mars as InSight sits on the open landscape.”

Charalambous and Nobuaki Fuji of Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris provided the audio samples for this story, including the one below, which is also best heard with headphones and captures the array of sounds they’re hearing.

On March 6, 2019, a camera on InSight’s robotic arm was scanning the surface in front of the lander. Each movement of the arm produces what to SEIS is a piercing noise.

Wind gusts can also create noise. The team is always on the hunt for quakes, but they’ve found the twilight hours are one of the best times to do so. During the day, sunlight warms the air and creates more wind interference than at night.

Evening is also when peculiar sounds that the InSight team has nicknamed “dinks and donks” become more prevalent. The team knows they’re coming from delicate parts within the seismometer expanding and contracting against one another and thinks heat loss may be the factor, similar to how a car engine “ticks” after it’s turned off and begins cooling.

You can hear a number of these dinks and donks in this next set of sounds, recorded just after sundown on July 16, 2019 (Sol 226). Listen carefully and you can also pick out an eerie whistling that the team thinks may be caused by interference in the seismometer’s electronics.

If you could travel back in time 3.5 billion years, what would Mars look like? The picture is evolving among scientists working with NASA’s Curiosity rover.

Imagine ponds dotting the floor of Gale Crater, the 100-mile-wide (150-kilometer-wide) ancient basin that Curiosity is exploring. Streams might have laced the crater’s walls, running toward its base. Watch history in fast forward, and you’d see these waterways overflow then dry up, a cycle that probably repeated itself numerous times over millions of years.The network of cracks in this Martian rock slab called “Old Soaker” may have formed from the drying of a mud layer more than 3 billion years ago. The view spans about 3 feet (90 centimeters) left-to-right and combines three images taken by the MAHLI camera on the arm of NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover.

That is the landscape described by Curiosity scientists in a Nature Geoscience paper published today. The authors interpret rocks enriched in mineral salts discovered by the rover as evidence of shallow briny ponds that went through episodes of overflow and drying. The deposits serve as a watermark created by climate fluctuations as the Martian environment transitioned from a wetter one to the freezing desert it is today.

Scientists would like to understand how long this transition took and when exactly it occurred. This latest clue may be a sign of findings to come as Curiosity heads toward a region called the “sulfate-bearing unit,” which is expected to have formed in an even drier environment. It represents a stark difference from lower down the mountain, where Curiosity discovered evidence of persistent freshwater lakes.

Gale Crater is the ancient remnant of a massive impact. Sediment carried by water and wind eventually filled in the crater floor, layer by layer. After the sediment hardened, wind carved the layered rock into the towering Mount Sharp, which Curiosity is climbing today. Now exposed on the mountain’s slopes, each layer reveals a different era of Martian history and holds clues about the prevailing environment at the time.

“We went to Gale Crater because it preserves this unique record of a changing Mars,” said lead author William Rapin of Caltech. “Understanding when and how the planet’s climate started evolving is a piece of another puzzle: When and how long was Mars capable of supporting microbial life at the surface?”

He and his co-authors describe salts found across a 500-foot-tall (150-meter-tall) section of sedimentary rocks called “Sutton Island,” which Curiosity visited in 2017. Based on a series of mud cracks at a location named “Old Soaker,” the team already knew the area had intermittent drier periods. But the Sutton Island salts suggest the water also concentrated into brine.

Typically, when a lake dries up entirely, it leaves piles of pure salt crystals behind. But the Sutton Island salts are different: For one thing, they’re mineral salts, not table salt. They’re also mixed with sediment, suggesting they crystallized in a wet environment – possibly just beneath evaporating shallow ponds filled with briny water.

Given that Earth and Mars were similar in their early days, Rapin speculated that Sutton Island might have resembled saline lakes on South America’s Altiplano. Streams and rivers flowing from mountain ranges into this arid, high-altitude plateau lead to closed basins similar to Mars’ ancient Gale Crater. Lakes on the Altiplano are heavily influenced by climate in the same way as Gale.

“During drier periods, the Altiplano lakes become shallower, and some can dry out completely,” Rapin said. “The fact that they’re vegetation-free even makes them look a little like Mars.”

This animation demonstrates the salty ponds and streams that scientists think may have been left behind as Gale Crater dried out over time. The bottom of the image is the floor of Gale Crater, with the peak being the side of Mount Sharp.

Signs of a Drying Mars

Sutton Island’s salt-enriched rocks are just one clue among several the rover team is using to piece together how the Martian climate changed. Looking across the entirety of Curiosity’s journey, which began in 2012, the science team sees a cycle of wet to dry across long timescales on Mars.

“As we climb Mount Sharp, we see an overall trend from a wet landscape to a drier one,” said Curiosity Project Scientist Ashwin Vasavada of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. JPL leads the Mars Science Laboratory mission that Curiosity is a part of. “But that trend didn’t necessarily occur in a linear fashion. More likely, it was messy, including drier periods, like what we’re seeing at Sutton Island, followed by wetter periods, like what we’re seeing in the ‘clay-bearing unit’ that Curiosity is exploring today.”

Up until now, the rover has encountered lots of flat sediment layers that had been gently deposited at the bottom of a lake. Team member Chris Fedo, who specializes in the study of sedimentary layers at the University of Tennessee, noted that Curiosity is currently running across large rock structures that could have formed only in a higher-energy environment such as a windswept area or flowing streams.

Wind or flowing water piles sediment into layers that gradually incline. When they harden into rock, they become large structures similar to “Teal Ridge,” which Curiosity investigated this past summer.

“Finding inclined layers represents a major change, where the landscape isn’t completely underwater anymore,” said Fedo. “We may have left the era of deep lakes behind.”

Curiosity has already spied more inclined layers in the distant sulfate-bearing unit. The science team plans to drive there in the next couple years and investigate its many rock structures. If they formed in drier conditions that persisted for a long period, that might mean that the clay-bearing unit represents an in-between stage – a gateway to a different era in Gale Crater’s watery history.

“We can’t say whether we’re seeing wind or river deposits yet in the clay-bearing unit, but we’re comfortable saying is it’s definitely not the same thing as what came before or what lies ahead,” Fedo said.

The Essentials of Ufo Sightings That You Will be Able to Benefit From Beginning Immediately

New Step by Step Roadmap for Ufo Sightings

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 plenty of individuals. Throughout that time period, there were two triangle UFOs sighted in the exact same location. By way of example, over Midlothian, many sightings are made from January to March. UFO sightings are now able to easily be captured on video, while it’s through a telephone or video camera. The most typically known UFO sighting in the USA is known as the Roswell UFO sighting of 1947.

Take a look at the pictures and videos and you decide by yourself. Some video footage implies that the objects move quickly. What earns the video footage even more credible is that there’s footage taken by different individuals in various areas of town.

The Fight Against Ufo Sightings

Real aliens are less inclined to be evil. In terms of Bigfoot sightings, ape-like creatures are seen all over the usa and Canada. There’s no unitary creature known as the government, which is in fact a group of interrelated hierarchies with diverse incentives and power structures. It’s not clear to me that the only means to generate an intelligent creature that evolves to the cap of the food chain is to produce a human with bilateral symmetry.

At the start of spring for the previous two thousand decades, the sun is apparently drifting across the stars of Pisces with each passing year. Earth is nowhere to be viewed. Even when you kept to lots of earth based templates for life it would be quite simple for chance and accident to create something very different from that which we know. The planet has to be in a comparatively circular orbit otherwise it will stray from the habitable zone. It must be large enough to hold an atmosphere.

Science isn’t so superficial. Someone has to cover science and every previous scientist. Mimicking science isn’t the exact same as doing science. Scientists have been searching 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. Actually, scientists and a great deal of non-believers make no fuss about expressing their scepticism in regards to extrasensory perception.

There are lots of theories,” Kay explained. There are not many very good explanations for the majority of the Hudson Valley sightings. Among the arguments that scientists use to debunk UFO sightings is that our planet has existed for at least four billion decades, therefore the odds are very small that the aliens would just chance to arrive here during the few decades that we’ve got technology.

The Upside to Ufo Sightings

Many still seek out proof of aliens. The evidence might have been much more compelling, in the event the very first recorded incident was not revealed as a hoax. No, you won’t locate any evidence in case you don’t look. If you’re still not convinced or want to read more evidence an Arizona UFO might not be a laughing matter, you might delight in seeing for yourself, more UFO Evidence. 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 appropriate. Why is everyone slightly obsessed with the thought of extraterrestrial life. So, there’s no need to fret about the 156,353 UFO sightings and warnings.

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.

Pulsing UFO Seen Over Black Sea On Oct 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 2, 2019

Location of sighting: Black Sea, Burgas, Bulgaria

Here is an extraordinary video of a UFO seen just a few days ago over the Black Sea. The UFO seems to change shape and pulse as if it wanted to be seen. This type of UFO has been seen around the world and often appears over cities to observe the human reactions below. I myself recorded a similar UFO over my apartments one night...a few years ago...and on the TV news a few days earlier I saw the same UFO seen over China. It gets around.

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.

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.

NASA Apollo 15 Camera Caught A UFO In Moon Crater

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 9^th 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.
