Chain Of Giant Arctic Craters Likely Caused By Climate-Altering Supervolcanoes

A 2,000-mile-long linear chain of giant craters located in the Arctic is the likely result of multiple climate-altering supervolcanic eruptions associated with the movement of the North American continent across an underlying non-moving deep earth lower mantle superplume, not random meteor impact strikes.

For many years an impassioned debate has been waged between those who believe these Arctic craters are astronomical in origin with those favoring a volcanic eruption origin.

The recent discovery by the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) of two giant craters beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet that is positioned along the Arctic crater trend has pushed this debate back into the spotlight. NASA has stated in no uncertain terms that these two new craters are of astronomical origin.

However, NASA and those advocating an astronomical origin for this chain of giant Arctic craters have failed to include two extremely relevant and telling lines of evidence, the regional geological setting and the dynamics of supervolcanic eruptions.

Regional Geological Setting

A critical factor in determining the origin of giant crater features is to research, understand and then incorporate the Regional Geological Setting. Failure to do this, especially early on, leads to an investigation process that is too narrowly focused.

Limiting the investigation area to a very small geographical area when reviewing world-class-sized crater features, especially those that occur in groups, is an inherently bad idea. The result of this narrow focusing is to bias the search for which massive force or forces is behind the giant craters.

Specifically, biasing scientists to look upward into the vast expanse of outer space rather than looking laterally at regionally extensive geological features.

So, let’s review and then determine the relevance of the regional geological setting associated with the 2,500-mile-long linear chain of giant Arctic craters.

Several observations are extremely telling. First, as per Figure 2, the giant Arctic craters are positioned along with a linear trend which is unusual because meteor Impacts are distributed randomly across the earth and not aligned along with trends.

Figure 2.) A 2,000-mile-long chain of Arctic crater features (red circles) defined by geological, topographic, and research study evidence. Craters are positioned above a major fault shown as a thick black dashed line. (map credit Google Earth, fault line credit and labeling credit J. Kamis).

The trend coincides with the surface trace of a well-mapped major deep-inner earth-reaching fault system (see here).

Major fault trends often act to provide an open pathway for deep inner earth hot lava/magma to explode upward and onto the Earth’s surface. Current information indicates that the Arctic crater features are progressively younger in age to the northeast.

Secondly, major fault trends can tap into extremely deep non-moving/fixed lava pockets (magma chambers) termed lower mantle superplumes.

When activated superplumes violently explode upward along the fault planes thereby periodically expulsing super-high pressure and massive volumes of magma upward and onto outer continental rock layers in the form of supervolcanic eruptions.

As outer continental rock layers move sideways, per continental drift, across the underlying and non-moving superplume, the process creates a long linear chain of supervolcanic eruptions that are progressively younger in one direction. This is exactly what is thought to have occurred with the Arctic craters.

This idea is strengthened by comparison to other analog regional geological settings. An excellent example is the Snake River Plain Volcanic region (see here, here and here).

A 450-mile-long chain of large volcanic eruptions that are progressively younger to the northeast and ultimately terminate at the Yellowstone Supervolcanic Eruption Complex (Figure 3).

Figure 3.) Comparison of here contended to be a chain of Snake River Plain Super-Plume Hotspots which show up as circular collapsed volcanoes (Calderas) with the chain of giant Arctic craters.

The Snake Palin is expressed at the surface by a topographic low which is the result of downward movement along with major deep-earth-reaching fault zone.

Next, NASA researchers and others have confirmed the effects of an ancient mantle plume that affected various locations along a 1,500-mile stretch from northern Greenland to Iceland. Iceland sits atop the current position of the mantle plume (see here).

Relic bedrock heat flow from this ancient mantle plume is still anomalously high and thereby acting to bottom melt a huge swath of Greenland’s glacial ice sheet.

As a side note, the author has identified three additional giant craters associated with the giant Arctic trend (see Appendix 1). They are not included in this discussion because they are speculative/unproven, however well worth further investigation.

Dynamics of supervolcanic eruptions

The dynamics of supervolcanic eruptions is not well understood, however, recent research has shed light on how these monster volcanoes operate as follows:

• Eruptions are located above major fault systems that tap down into the earth’s mantle or more likely lower mantle. These types of faults have non-complex plumbing systems (large open vertical pathways) that allow expulsed lava to rise upward at very high speeds.
• Eruptions occur periodically as high pressure in the deep lava pockets exceeds the capability of the vertical fault system to keep the lava chamber from exploding upward.
• High-pressure pulses are the result of the rapid warming of water present in the hot lava and not a movement of the lava pocket. Explosive release of huge lava pockets can occur in an extremely short time frame, as little as 48 hours!
• For a more detailed explanation, the reader is directed here, here and here.

The dynamics of supervolcanic eruptions also affects the development of minerals within the hot lava mixture.

For many years the presence of the rare metal iridium in rock layers surrounding Earth’s giant crater features was considered by many scientists as strong proof and some said absolute proof, that the crater was of meteor impact origin.

This was based on the then thought to be 100% settled scientific fact that Iridium is common in meteors but extremely rare in earth’s outer crust rock layers.

Therefore, finding significant concentrations of iridium in rock layers that form the circular rim of Earth’s giant crater features must be strong proof of a meteor impact origin.

This supposed scientific fact has since been proven to be incorrect, primarily because significant concentrations of Iridium have been discovered in one of the largest outflows of molten lava on earth, the Deccan Traps.

This huge geographically extensive geological feature is not a crater and is now thought to be one of the primary and some say the root cause of the Great Dinosaur Extinction Event (Gerta Keller Princeton University and here).

The Deccan Traps lava flows were sourced by an underlying major fault break (see here and here) extending downward into Earth’s iridium rich mantle.

It is now accepted that the presence of Iridium in crater rocks is not absolute proof of a meteor impact origin, rather proof of a meteor impact or supervolcanic eruption (see here).

As was true with Iridium, for many years the presence of the rare mineral termed Shock Quartz in rock layers surrounding earth’s giant crater features was considered by many scientists as strong proof, and some said absolute proof, that the crater was of meteor impact origin.

New research has shown that shock quartz can theoretically be generated by supervolcanic eruptions as has recently been proven to be the case with the transformation of carbon to diamonds (see here and quote below).

“These findings contradict recent molecular dynamics simulation results for the shock-induced graphite-to-diamond transformation and provide a benchmark for future theoretical simulations. Additionally, our results show that an earlier report of HD forming above 170 GPa for shocked pyrolytic graphite may lead to incorrect interpretations of meteor impact events…The coupling of planar impact experiments and synchrotron XRD measurements has provided real-time, in situ structural information on the shock-induced graphite-to-diamond transformation. Shock-compressed pyrolytic graphite transforms to HD at a much lower stress than previously reported (35) and without CD formation. In addition to graphite, other shock-compressed minerals (for example, quartz) that transform to high-pressure structures are also used as markers for meteorite impacts (44). Thus, experimental results—similar to those presented here for the graphite-to-diamond transformation—can greatly benefit studies of shock metamorphism in other minerals.” (see here)

Shock Quartz is generated by an almost instantaneous pulse of super-high pressure onto relatively low-temperature, silica-rich molten lava/magma which is here contended to be the case with violent supervolcanic eruptions fed by magma from lower Mantle superplumes.

Other Evidence

The Nastapoka Arc (Figure 2) which is one of the larger crater-like features in the Arctic and has been research-proven to be absent of Iridium and Shock Quartz. This throws into question the consensus scientific theory that this crater and other craters along this trend are 100% proven to be of astronomical origin.

Regional geological mapping also shows that this arc is likely not of meteor impact origin because the arc is not circular feature, rather a distinct semi-circle sharply cut off by a major fault (see here).

Recent research studies have confirmed that all five Earth’s climate-altering mass extinctions are the result of massive world-class pulses of volcanism from land and ocean geological features including the previously thought to be Meteor Impact end of the dinosaurs.

These extinction events include the Ordovician (450 MYA), Devonian (370 MYA), Permian (252 MYA), Triassic (200 Mya), and K-Pg (dinosaur). The main take away from these volcanically induced mass extinctions is that until very recently many mass extinctions were still attributed to astronomical forces.

So, it is always a good idea to follow proper scientific methodology, keep an open mind and evaluate new data. Theories can change even those thought to be 100% settled.

Numerous World-Class Rare Metallic Mineral Mines are located south of the chain of Arctic craters all associated with deep earth reaching major fault systems.

Fault systems that brought rare minerals to the surface likely from the Lower Mantle. This emphasizes the important and very active role of regional geological features in the Arctic craters area.

SUMMARY

Convincing, abundant and reliable evidence indicates that a long linear chain of giant crater features located in northeast Canada and northern Greenland are of supervolcanic and not astronomical in origin.

This includes the two recently discovered giant subglacial crater features located in northwest Greenland and three new giant crater features designated by the author (see Appendix 1).

In the past, the scientific community has in some cases narrowly focused their investigation of earth’s giant crater features in limited geographical regions, thereby not properly evaluating the significance of the regional geological setting.

In addition, they have not correctly interpreted the presence or absence of Iridium and Shock Quartz. Nor have they taken into consideration the growing amount of evidence that supervolcanic eruptions are a different kind of beast.

It’s way past time for the consensus scientific community to inform the public that supervolcanic eruptions have in past acted to control much of Earth’s climate and have forced many anomalous climate-related events most notably mass extinctions.

In a broader sense, this is yet another example of how geological forces have an underappreciated, underestimated but significant influence on our planet’s climate as per the Plate Climatology Theory.

FOOTNOTE FROM AUTHOR:

This article is not intended to cast aspersions on NASA, other scientific organizations, or the dedicated high-skilled staff of scientists working for these organizations.

Rather it is intended to present a plausible alternative explanation of a long linear chain of giant climate-altering craters located in the Arctic.

Neither is this article intended to imply that all crater giant features are of supervolcanic origin.

However, the author strongly believes that it is critical to take into account the regional geological setting and the possible involvement of supervolcanic eruptions when attempting to determine the origin of the earth’s giant crater features.

James Edward Kamis is a retired professional Geologist with 42 years of experience, a B.S. in Geology from Northern Illinois University (1973), an M.S. in geology from Idaho State University (1977), and a longtime member of AAPG who has always been fascinated by the connection between Geology and Climate. More than 42 years of research/observation have convinced him that Geological forces, especially Earth’s Upper Mantle Convection Systems which drive the dynamics of outer crustal plates, are an important driver of the Earth’s climate as per his Plate Climatology Theory.

It happened during a storm in San Antonio on October 16, 2019 when suddenly a dark object fell from the sky at the time of a lightning strike.

Watching the video, the dark object appears next to the lightning strike before it falls to the ground. It is unknown what the object might have been but what makes it weird is that it's faster than the lightning.

The photographer said that he was recording to lightning on super slow mode when he caught the object.

US Army is Collaborating with UFO Researchers to Develop Futuristic Technologies

Not everyone took a team of UFO researchers seriously when it claimed to have material from a crashed extra-terrestrial spacecraft that did not bear any relation to alloys or metals currently known.

However, it appears that the US military shows interest with the claim.

To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science (TTSA) made an announcement on a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command.

Initially, the partnership will see TTSA help develop enhance capabilities for Army ground vehicles.

TTSA says the project will use their recent innovations, which, together, will have the potential to improve the survivability and effectiveness of multiple Army systems. These innovations include material science, quantum physics, space-time metric engineering, active camouflage, and beamed energy propulsion.

Before the latest development, TTSA published a set of photos showing several flat metallic-looking objects, which they said were debris from a UFO crash.

Dr. Joseph Cannon of US Army Futures Command said their partnership with To The Stars serves as a non-traditional, new source for transformational technologies and novel materials to enhance their military ground system capabilities.

He explained that they look forward to this partnership and the potential technical innovations forthcoming at the Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Centre.

Steve Justine, former head of Advanced Systems at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, now leads TTSA’s Technology and Aerospace team. Skunk Works is the centre of advanced and experimental aviation research that produced many cutting-edge warplanes, including the F117 Stealth Fighter.

Justine has spoken out about the exotic materials that are currently in their possession. He said the composition and structure of these materials weren’t from any known existing commercial or military application.

According to Justine, they have contracted laboratories to analyse multiple material samples and have plans to further expand the scope of this study.

Talking on the new collaboration with the US military, he said that it brings additional, critically important expertise that’s important to advance the state-of-the-art in both their near and long-term technology areas of study.

Justine said the Army has specific military performance interest in the research, but much of the work is expected to have double-use application in support of TTSA’s path to commercialisation and public benefit mission.

The US Navy recently confirmed that the UFO captured on on-board cameras of Navy fighter jets were real. The confirmation is the most reliable evidence yet that at least some UFOs are real and that the US military knows about them.

NASA Is Sending Some Wild Robots, Including A Shapeshifter, Into Outer Space To Look For Life On Other Planets

ALI AGHA, JOSE MENDEZ, JPL

NASA’s Limbed Excursion Mechanical Utility Robot (LEMUR) can autonomously walk, climb, and crawl, and now other robots using its technology, are going to be, or have already been, sent into space.

Among these robots are the RoboSimian, Robonaut 2, Ice Worm, Underwater Gripper, Dragonfly, and Astrobee, and the wall-climbing LEMUR is the source of many of the skills that are going to really freak the hell out of those aliens who live on Mars.

Former CIA agent Derrel simulations: “Aliens are cloned and is produced by the government”

Derrel simulations, a former CIA agent known as “Alien Hunter” claims to be the greatest expert in alien abduction, and he claims that aliens cloned and produced by none other than our government.

He investigates alleged alien events for nearly four decades. And, according to his website, at the time his research “has always focused on material evidence.

It” hunts “aliens and collect evidence, data and testimonies of witnesses to expose the true intentions behind these sinister people with their human experiments .

Derrel explains how these foreigners are “made, draw, cloned and produced” by some rebel elements within our government.

He claims that aliens have no planet, their “DNA comes from here.” Explain how all foreigners are genetically modified. 

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

Phill Schneider once said that only “gray” humanoid aliens working side by side with American technicians of secret underground base in Dulce, New Mexico, but also humans and aliens working together in a terrible biogenetic experiments.

According to him, they will have programs of human-alien hybrid reproduction, cloning studies aura, advanced mind control applications, implantation of human visual and audio chips, etc. According to Schneider, the Secret Government cloned humans through process improvements in the world’s largest and most advanced biogenetic research facility, also in Los Alamos.

In addition to his skills as a researcher, simulation is also a therapist and a certified hypnotherapist teacher, who allegedly helped hundreds of people who say they are aliens. 

He claims that alien abduction is quite common, saying that “one in four people abducted by aliens and victims come from all walks of life.”

But simulation is not out to convince anyone. 

He is focused on his mission, and he says in an interview, “” I still have much work to do. I’m a researcher, looking for evidence. “

South Australian brothers say they witnessed two UFOs in ‘conflict’ before 1980 Stirling crash

Did the brothers really witness two UFOs dogfighting ?

 Image Credit: PD - Max Pixel

Nearly 40 years ago, Phil Tindale believes he witnessed what can only be described as an air battle between two UFOs — which ended with one crashing to earth.

It was about 9.30pm on Thursday, February 7, 1980, and he was at home in the South Australian town of Aldgate when his twin brother Rob called out from his bedroom, “Phil, come and check this out.”

From their window looking down the valley towards Stirling, about 20 minutes southeast of Adelaide, the 10-year-olds saw a bright yellow object “bobbing around” just above the tree line, about 1km away.

After a few minutes, Phil says a second, slightly larger object appeared emitting a red light. In what he describes as almost cartoon-like motion, it “zoomed up” to the yellow object, stopped and reversed, then did it again “as if to prompt a reaction”.

The yellow object then “took off” with the red object in pursuit. They zigzagged across the sky like two “blowflies”, changing direction instantly with no apparent inertia and covering distances he later estimated to be up to half a kilometre in less than a second.

Throughout the “chase”, which Phil says lasted several minutes, the yellow object would periodically stop in mid-flight and shake back and forth “as if caught by some invisible force” before freeing itself.

Neither object made any noise. Eventually the yellow object sped off and disappeared behind a hill, and the red object also vanished. In total, he believes the entire sighting lasted about 15 minutes.

Rob Tindale confirmed his brother’s account.

“Certainly there were two lights, one appeared to the chasing the other, they both dipped below the horizon,” he said.

“It was a very memorable thing.”

The same night, a local farmhand, 21-year-old Daryl Browne, reported seeing a “speedboat-shaped yellow thing” like a “half moon” crash into some trees near the horse farm where he worked — in the exact area where the brothers last saw the object.

According to newspaper reports, Mr Browne told police he was watching TV that night when his dogs began howling. “And then I heard the trees smashing,” he said.

“I locked the kids inside and went outside with a torch.”

Mr Browne shone the flashlight into the trees and saw the object, which was “about 25 to 30 feet long” and was not emitting and sound or light. He called police but the object had disappeared by the time they arrived.

At the time, police told media only that there were unexplained broken branches and no other physical evidence. Mr Browne was interviewed by investigators from UFO Research South Australia the next day, who published a report in that month’s UFO Research Australia newsletter.

For Phil, 49, the strange sighting was nothing more than a “campfire story” for the next 30 years or so. It wasn’t until around 2009 that he decided to investigate further, revisiting the scene of the crash and delving deep into the UFO topic.

He believes their sighting is unique, saying he has been unable to find virtually any other reports of “conflict” between UFOs. He says he is “100 per cent” convinced what he saw was extraterrestrial, and not military aircraft.

“Over the years I’ve done lots of reading but also personal investigation, contacting people one to one. There are loads of people out there who just don’t report it, don’t talk about it,” he said.

“Not everyone has a fantastically compelling sighting, often it’s just lights in the sky, but there are significant numbers of sightings where there is an object that is so far beyond our capability it has to be extraterrestrial.”

Rob said he was probably a bit more “conservative” than his brother about certain aspects of the UFO topic, but if he had to guess what it was they saw that night, “I would tend on the extraterrestrial side”.

“Certainly in the ‘80s and even these days, the fact that the objects made these quick, jerky motions, couldn’t have happened with the technology we’ve got,” he said, adding that it hadn’t particularly affected him. “It wasn’t like a close encounter, it was just seeing some lights in the sky — like watching a meteorite.”

Phil Tindale believes he witnessed two UFOs as a child in 1980.

Interest in the UFO subject has been revitalised in the past two years since The New York Times published a bombshell article revealing the existence of a Pentagon UFO study program. In the same article, a former high-ranking US Navy fighter pilot recounted chasing a “Tic Tac”-shaped UFO.

Phil said commander David Fravor’s description of the object’s movement resembled what he saw. “The instant acceleration, nothing can do that unless you’ve mastered the force of gravity, not using any conventional propulsion,” he said.

He says he has “considered everything” in terms of other possible explanations for what he saw but “the movements of the craft” were simply impossible using “any conventional propulsion”.

“There must be a million people like me,” who have seen things but don’t report them, he adds. In South Australia, at least, Phil is not alone. UFO sightings have been reported in the state since the early 20th century, but surged during the Cold War.

The most famous case was the 1988 incident with the Knowles family, who said they driving along the remote Nullarbor Plain when a large glowing object “like a big ball” chased them and lifted their car off the ground.

Paul Curnow from the South Australia Astronomical Society said it was still common to get from several dozen to hundreds of UFO reports a year in South Australia.

“Probably for every 10 cases you get, nine can be explained in mundane terms,” Mr Curnow told the ABC last year. “Quite often people report a little silver dot in the sky (and it) turned out to be an aircraft. A lot of these things like planes, satellites, planets, even searchlights sometimes, can all add to what people are reporting.”

A new study from Brown University suggests that different deposits of ice at the moon’s south pole not only originated from different sources, but also vary greatly in age.

Deep and shadowed Shackleton Crater near the moon’s south pole is one location where scientists have found deposits of water ice. The ice has the potential to reveal insights about the moon’s history, and the history of our solar system. And it’s potentially useful to future moon explorers.

Image via NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/Leonard David’s Inside Outer Space.

We tend to think of the moon as a dusty, bone-dry place, and for the most part, that is true. But the moon does have ice, in particular at its south pole, hidden in shadowed craters. Just how the ice got there has been a bit of a mystery, but now a new study suggests it may have various sources, both ancient and more recent.

• The new peer-reviewed findings were published in Icarus on September 30, 2019.

This water ice has much value, both to scientists and future human explorers. According to Ariel Deutsch, lead author of the study and a graduate student at Brown University:

The ages of these deposits can potentially tell us something about the origin of the ice, which helps us understand the sources and distribution of water in the inner solar system. For exploration purposes, we need to understand the lateral and vertical distributions of these deposits to figure out how best to access them. These distributions evolve with time, so having an idea of the age is important.

• EarthSky 2020 lunar calendars are available! They make great gifts. Order now. Going fast!

Map of known water ice deposits near the lunar south pole, from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

The findings suggest that not only is some of the ice much older than the rest, but that there are probably different sources as well. Older ice could have come from water-bearing comets and asteroids or ancient volcanism. More recent ice deposits might be the result of pea-sized micrometeorites or implantation by solar wind.

So how did the researchers come to these conclusions?

Using data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), they looked at the ages of large craters near the moon’s south pole – such as Shackleton Crater – in which ice deposits have been found. The age of the craters can be estimated by counting the number of smaller craters inside the larger ones. Since scientists have a pretty good idea of the rate of impacts over time, they can estimate the ages of different kinds of terrain.

India’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft also found evidence for ice deposits on the moon back in 2009.

Image via Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)/Discover.

Most of the ice is found in very old craters, formed about 3.1 billion years ago or more. The ice can’t be any older than the craters themselves, or it would have been vaporized during the impacts. This doesn’t mean the ice must be as old as the craters, either, but it must be old since the distribution of the ice deposits on the crater floors is patchy, suggesting that it has been subjected to impacts by micrometeorites over a long period of time.

Deutsch added:

There have been models of bombardment through time showing that ice starts to concentrate with depth. So if you have a surface layer that’s old, you’d expect more underneath.

What was most surprising was ice in smaller, younger craters. This would imply that those ice deposits are also younger, and were created by a different process than the ice in the older, larger craters. As Deutsch noted:

That was a surprise. There hadn’t really been any observations of ice in younger cold traps before.

While spacecraft like LRO have confirmed the ice deposits – and others, like India’s Chandrayaan-1 mission as well – figuring out how different deposits actually formed will probably require return missions. Additional robotic missions will come first, followed, hopefully, by new crewed missions such as NASA’s planned Artemis mission. Knowing exactly where the ice deposits are located, and how much ice there is, will be important for planning future human missions back to the moon.

Future human missions to the moon, like NASA’s planned Artemis mission, will need resources such as the water ice deposits to help sustain a long-term presence.

Jim Head, a professor at Brown University, explained:

When we think about sending humans back to the moon for long-term exploration, we need to know what resources are there that we can count on, and we currently don’t know. Studies like this one help us make predictions about where we need to go to answer those questions.

Ice on the moon may seem surprising, but it shouldn’t be; Mars has lots of ice, comets and some asteroids have abundant ice, there are many moons in the outer solar system completely covered in an ice crust – with oceans below! – and even Mercury has ice deposits near its north pole, in regions with permanent shadow (since there is no atmosphere to distribute heat from the sunlit areas). Scientists will now be able to compare the origins of the moon’s ice with that of other bodies in the solar system, and for future explorers, it will be a much-needed resource.

Huge Flying Disk Seen Over California, Raw Footage! UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 13, 2019
Location of sighting: Lucerne Valley, California, USA

This is a great catch that was brought to my attention by Terrys Theories. He posted a video of a black cigar shaped UFO crossing the mountains in the desert of California. This all took place last month. Lucerne Valley has a population of 5,800 so its not surprising that more videos of this UFO didn't come out. This UFO looks like its disk shaped. Also its not far from Area 51 so its has a huge chance of being a secret USAF project. It has no wings, no sound, no windows...very odd indeed. 
Scott C. Waring-Taiwan

Eyewitness states: 

Taking a break on my porch at noontime, I looked to the east and saw this strange cigar shaped object about 30 miles away, moving slowly from left to right while tilting occassionally. It then disappeared behind the tallest peak and never came out the other side. Did anybody else see it?

DE RUIMTESCHEPEN UIT DE TIJD VAN DE BIJBEL ZIJN TERUG 

We leven in bijzondere tijden en het is dan ook niet zo vreemd dat er nu tekenen worden waargenomen van onze verre voorvaderen.

Er worden nu opvallende dingen waargenomen in de lucht, net zoals in de tijd van de Bijbelse profeten.

Van William Guy gaan we naar Nancy Lieder die in haar nieuwsbrief zegt dat hetgeen gefilmd is door William Guy gelijk is aan het bekende wiel van Ezechiël. Een soort groot cirkelvormig ruimteschip.

Zij geeft de volgende verklaring voor de vreemde cirkelvormige ufo"s:

Deze cirkelvormige ufo's worden regelmatig wereldwijd gezien en zijn een waarschuwing voor hen die de bedoeling begrijpen van de ervaringen van Ezechiël. Deze profeet is bekend geworden als een die verwoesting en herstel voorspelde. De verschijning van cirkelvormige ufo's of ufo's in een cirkelformatie dient als waarschuwing voor de komende poleshift en de dramatische gevolgen daarvan.

De aarde zal worden verwoest door enorme aardbevingen en hoge vloedgolven die ervoor zullen zorgen dat hele kustregio's zullen verdwijnen, waarbij de bewoners verdrinken en de complete infrastructuur wordt vernietigd. En dit geldt ook in het bijzonder voor het gebied aan de kust van North Carolina waar deze ufo-formatie is waargenomen.

Wij hebben de laatste jaren behoorlijk veel geschreven over het plotseling verschijnen van deze cirkelvormige ufo's en daarom hierna een deel uit een eerder artikel over deze bijzondere verschijningen.

Het was een ufo die eruit zag zoals op de volgende foto, die al eerder op talloze plaatsen is waargenomen.

Dit schip was niet alleen te zien boven Peking, maar zelfs op een afstand van 100 kilometer van de Chinese hoofdstad werd deze ufo waargenomen.

De ufo verscheen als uit het niets en leek geen geluid te maken.

De waarneming is echt, want er zijn talloze getuigen die deze vreemde lichten hebben gezien.



De vorige keer dat dit ruimteschip door heel veel mensen werd waargenomen was in oktober vorig jaar. Hierna een deel uit een artikel waaruit duidelijk wordt dat dit object veel overeenkomsten vertoont met wat nu in China wordt waargenomen:

We zijn nu inmiddels een week verder en weer is er een waarneming van hetzelfde object.

De getuige is er absoluut van overtuigd dat het geen weerspiegeling of iets dergelijks is omdat nadat dit object een minuut of vier boven de weg had gehangen, dit opeens met grote snelheid wegvloog. Iets dat door hem en zijn vriendin beiden is gezien.

Ufoloog Scott Waring is heel benieuwd of er die avond ergens in de buurt mensen zijn vermist of tijdelijk zoek geweest zijn. Hij denkt namelijk dat wanneer een ruimteschip zo dichtbij de weg komt er een reden voor moet zijn. En die reden zou heel goed kunnen zijn dat ze van plan waren om één of meerdere mensen te ontvoeren. 

En zelfs daarvoor werd dit schip waargenomen en wel in Nederland in 1996. Voor dat verhaal verwijzen wij naar dit eerdere artikel.

White Triangle UFO Seen Entering Hill Over Tenerife Island, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: August 20, 2019

Location of sighting: Tenerife Island, Spain

 

This UFO was recorded on an island off of Spain. It looks like the two guys are messing around until one person notices the white UFO overhead. Lucky for us, this person was recording the craft as it slowly lowered down into the hilltop. I believe there is an alien base below Tenerife island and that this hilltop must contain the entrance to this base. This is 100% proof that aliens do have underground bases below the Canary Island area. Best video I have seen all month.

The Army and a UFO Group Are Investigating...Something

What's going on here?

• The U.S. Army has joined To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science, a UFO research group, to investigate UFO technology.
• To The Stars is the same group that released the UFO videos that the Navy confirmed were real.
• We have questions. Lots of 'em.

---

The U.S. Army and a prominent UFO research group are teaming up to investigate mysterious technology, but won’t come out and say where the tech comes from.

To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science, the organization led by former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge, will work with the Army to “characterize” technology under the organization’s control, and then use the tech to improve military vehicles. We have a lot of questions about this bizarre partnership, starting with the most important: Where did the technology come from?

To The Stars, which released the infamous Navy-confirmed UFO videos, made the announcement today on its website, saying it has entered into a “Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command to advance TTSA’s materiel and technology innovations in order to develop enhanced capabilities for Army ground vehicles.”

CRADAs are a form of joint research agreement between an agency of the federal government and research organizations, particularly academia, in which the feds provide “laboratories ... personnel, facilities, equipment or other resources with or without reimbursement.”

According to multiple definitions of CRADAs on federal websites, the transfer of federal funding is prohibited.

TTSA describes its contribution to the agreement as “technology solutions” that include “material science, space-time metric engineering, quantum physics, beamed energy propulsion, and active camouflage.”

In 1966, a 13-year-old boy was walking his dog and reportedly took this photo of a flying saucer in Wall Township, New Jersey. He showed it to the Army, but no comment was made by the military.

The Army will provide “laboratories, expertise, support, and resources to help characterize the technologies and its applications.”

“Our partnership with TTSA serves as an exciting, non-traditional source for novel materials and transformational technologies to enhance our military ground system capabilities,” said Dr. Joseph Cannon of Army Futures Command in the press release.
“At the Army's Ground Vehicle Systems Center, we look forward to this partnership and the potential technical innovations forthcoming.”

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE

• 

The Complete History of UFO Sightings

 

• 

What We Know About The Navy’s UFOs

• 

Why Are Senators Suddenly Being Briefed on UFOs?

Where did TTSA’s impressive list of technology come from? The implicit answer is: UFOs, also known as Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).

UFO/UAP traditionally means anything we spot in the sky that's unusual. But here's the thing: Swamp gas and Venus sightings don't leave behind technology that's so advanced, it needs to be "characterized" by the federal government.

Whatever this technology is, and even To The Stars apparently isn't quite sure, it comes from what we commonly call flying saucers.

According to The New York Times, the Pentagon spent $22 million between 2008 and 2011 on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), an organization tasked with looking into UFOs. The program reportedly stored “metal alloys and other materials" that Luis Elizondo, then the director of the AATIP and now the director of global security and special programs at To The Stars, said had been "recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena."

In July, we reported that TTSA acquired “several pieces of metamaterials” sourced from “an advanced aerospace vehicle of unknown origin.” The organization claims it can track ownership of the materials all the way back to the mid-1990s. Exactly where the materials came from is anyone's guess.

It’s hard to know what to make of all this. The Army obviously thinks there's something worth sticking its reputation out for, but there isn't any evidence available to the public to justify its association with a UFO research group.

Funding research into UFOs is one thing, and the U.S. government has done it multiple times over the past 70 years. Expecting actual technology samples from UFOs is another thing. Agreeing to do research and development work on them is something else entirely.

If—and it’s a big if—this technology could be ported over to the military, could it give U.S. troops an advantage on the battlefield? Yes, although at best, that advantage might be no better than giving a caveman’s spear a titanium shaft.

At worst, the technology could prove unreplicable by our modern standards. If you went back in time and gave Benjamin Franklin an iPhone, he would certainly find it fascinating, but be completely unable to duplicate it—and that’s with a time difference of just over 200 years. UFOs, if they are indeed from another world, could be thousands of years ahead of us.

Could To The Stars technology list benefit the Army? Theoretically, yes. “Material science” could lead to tougher, lighter materials able to better resist enemy fire. “Beamed energy propulsion,” which sounds like the use of microwaves or lasers to transfer energy, could enable drones to fly longer. “Active camouflage” sounds like a mimetic camouflage system such as that used by squid or even the Predator.

But does TTAS actually have this technology? Well, we’re just going to have to wait and see.

SPACE

Known as the Magellanic Bridge, the bridge is a huge stream of neutral gas that stretches some 75,000 light-years between our two neighbouring galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC). Although researchers had predicted it was there, this is the first observation of its magnetic field, and it could help us understand how these vast bridges come to be.

"There were hints that this magnetic field might exist, but no one had observed it until now," said lead researcher, Jane Kaczmarek from the University of Sydney.

Our closest galactic neighbours, the LMC and SMC (photographed below) are 160,000 and 200,000 light-years from Earth respectively, and are visible in the southern night sky.

Researchers have long known about the Magellanic Bridge that exists between these neighbours, a path with a few known stars inside it. But until now, very little was known about the magnetic field associated with the bridge.

The team has now shown that this newly detected magnetic field is one millionth the strength of Earth's own protective magnetic shield - and it could provide some insight into how it formed.

Two of the leading options are that the magnetic field was generated from within the bridge after the structure formed, or it may have been 'ripped' from the dwarf galaxies thought to have merged and formed the bridge in the first place.

If a bridge between the stars sounds a little sci-fi to you, keep in mind that most of space is made up of different magnetic fields.

"Not only are entire galaxies magnetic, but the faint delicate threads joining galaxies are magnetic, too," said one of the researchers, Bryan Gaensler from the University of Toronto.

"Everywhere we look in the sky, we find magnetism."

The reason we've struggled to study this structure in the past is the fact that these types of cosmic magnetic fields can only be observed indirectly through their effect on other structures in space.

In this case, radio signals from hundreds of very distant galaxies was used to pick up the magnetic field associated with the Magellanic Bridge.

Radio signals can be thought of like waves on the surface of a pond, in that they vibrate along a particular plane in space. 

When these radio signals pass through a magnetic field, that plane is rotated, and it allows astronomers to the measure the strength and polarity (direction) of the field.

"The radio emission from the distant galaxies served as background 'flashlights' that shine through the Bridge," said Kaczmarek.

"Its magnetic field then changes the polarisation of the radio signal. How the polarised light is changed tells us about the intervening magnetic field."

Now that we've been able to detect the field, scientists now have a chance to figure out not only how it formed, but the impact it's had on the LMC and SMC.

"In general, we don't know how such vast magnetic fields are generated, nor how these large-scale magnetic fields affect galaxy formation and evolution," said Kaczmarek.

"The LMC and SMC are our nearest neighbours, so understanding how they evolve may help us understand how our Milky Way Galaxy will evolve. Understanding the role that magnetic fields play in the evolution of galaxies and their environment is a fundamental question in astronomy that remains to be answered."

Even cooler is the fact that this is just one study that's part of a bigger project to map the entire Universe's magnetism.

Man films UFO over Baltimore from Key Bridge [VIDEO]

BALTIMORE, MD—Something strange has been spotted in the skies over Baltimore.

On Sunday, October 13, a man pulled over at the Key Bridge and filmed a strange, elongated craft flying over the city.

According to witnesses, a “white sphere” was also flying around the alleged “UFO,” although that cannot be seen in the video.

The man, who filmed the video in the early morning hours, says the aforementioned white sphere went “up and down, in and out of the clouds.”

You can view the footage in the video below…
