BIZARRE VERSCHIJNSELEN IN DE LUCHT ( VIDEO )
BIZARRE VERSCHIJNSELEN IN DE LUCHT ( VIDEO )
Jammer genoeg brengt het grootste deel van de mensheid hun tijd door met het kijken naar hun smartphone en ziet niet wat er in het echte leven gebeurt.
Als je eens een week naar de lucht zou kijken, dan heb je de kans één van de vele bizarre dingen te zien die zich ook deze week voordeden.
Vandaag een bonte verzameling van vreemde en bizarre dingen die door gewone mensen de afgelopen dagen zijn geobserveerd. Dit, simpelweg door regelmatig naar de lucht te kijken, waardoor je soms de meest wonderlijke taferelen ziet.
Zoals een vrouw genaamd Venetia enkele dagen geleden overkwam in de buurt van de Amerikaanse stad Philadelphia. Ze zag een piramide in de lucht en terwijl normaal gesproken piramides ferm op de grond staan, was dat hier niet het geval.
Ook scheen er een soort verlichting van achter de piramide te zijn, waardoor het object goed zichtbaar was aan de avondhemel. Wat het is, weet tot op dit moment helemaal niemand.
Op de dag van Halloween deed zich een bizar verschijnsel voor in de lucht boven Brazilië, waar Paulo Henrique Pinheiro de volgende afbeeldingen vastlegde. Een beeld van een grote adelaar die opstijgt of iets dergelijks en hoewel vast een natuurlijk fenomeen, fascinerende opnames.
Wat absoluut geen natuurlijk fenomeen lijkt is een verschijnsel dat zich voordeed boven Trinidad en dat er uit ziet als een soort groot paarskleurig object in de lucht.
Je zou misschien nog kunnen denken dat het hier een optische illusie betreft, maar dat is absoluut niet het geval. In de volgende video kan je het onderzoek zien dat is uitgevoerd door Mr. MB333 en die komt tot de conclusie dat het object ook zichtbaar is vanaf de andere kant, namelijk op satelietopnames. Dus, wat is het?
De volgende opname is enkele maanden geleden gemaakt, maar net door de maker op Youtube gezet. Het betreft een dame, Clenir Souza, die een bizar uitziende wolk filmde.
De omstandigheden komen ons bekend voor, want we hebben hier weer een wolkeloze hemel, met daarin een heel vreemd uitziende wolk. Een wolk die de vorm heeft van een mannengezicht, maar waar ook de nodige bliksemschichten zijn te zien. Deze wolk doet heel erg denken aan de vele dimensieportalen zoals die regelmatig worden waargenomen en waar wij onlangs uitgebreid over hebben geschreven.
Toen Clenir was gestopt met het filmen van deze wonderlijke verschijning, verscheen er een helikopter. Deze bleef een tijdje hangen om de wolk goed te kunnen bestuderen en verdween toen net zo snel als het was gekomen.
De volgende opname is eveneens enkele maanden geleden gemaakt en net op internet geplaatst. Het betreft hier een vrachtwagenchauffeur uit Schotland die zijn auto heeft geparkeerd en uit het raam opeens een vreemd object ziet verschijnen.
De man, Steve, zegt dat er absoluut geen militaire bases of vliegvelden zijn in de buurt waar hij stond geparkeerd en dat plotseling het ene vreemde licht/object veranderde naar vier objecten.
Ook hier weer, geen enkele zinnige verklaring over wat dit zou kunnen zijn, maar eens te meer bewijs dat je naar de lucht moet kijken om vreemde dingen te kunnen zien.
I finally got around to making that video of this nebula. At the NASA site, they have a close up photo of part of the Eagle Nebula. Its an area that they thought looked like a fairy, so they named it The Fairy of Eagle Nebula. Yeah, you heard me right, I found that this part of the nebula is a figure. The photo has to be cut in half from top to bottom then flipped and added to itself...making one whole figure. This gives us the full figure of the alien it was made after. Yes, I believe we are looking at the likeness of the alien species that created this nebula. They created it with a puzzle of sorts hidden within it. Perhaps to demonstrate their higher intelligence than other species that cannot see the hidden figure. You know...like Leonardo Da Vinci hiding secret symbols and messages within his paintings. Its alien art, its meant to be viewed using a higher IQ than humans are suppose to have... humanity is not suppose to be able to see these or understand them. Its wearing a samurai type of armor. Humans made Mount Rushmore made from a entire mountain of stone...so you see, everyone likes to leave their mark for future generations, its just these aliens did it on a whole new level. Do you remember I was talking about different civilization levels last week? Humanity still has not reached a type 1 civilization level yet, but what we are looking at is an alien figure in a nebula made by a type 5 civilization...which can manipulate space and time, basically, godly in every way.

USB stick found with astonishing 1900s images of planets and UFOs in space
USB stick found with astonishing 1900s images of planets and UFOs in space
Aman named Quisto, living in a small village near Berlin, Germany found a usb stick with a strange symbol carved into it on a parking lot near the so-called "Steintor".
Later on he put the usb stick in his laptop opened it and to his surprise he saw many old 1900's images of what seems like planets, space and UFOs.
According to Quisto, who has no idea who possessed the usb stick, he decided to share the 28 images hoping that someone has an answer to these mysterious images.
It looks like the incredible images are authentic but of course we have to keep in mind that it could be a hoax, but according to a friend of Quisto the stick contains old Voyager satellite recordings and files that are not supposed to be public as he has never seen something like that.
NASA launched the Voyager 1 on September 5, 1977 and the Voyager 2 42 years ago on August 20, 1977, to study the solar system’s most distant planets.
Since its launch, the Voyager 2 has encountered several planets, among them Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Some of these planets can also be seen in the images as well as various types of UFOs including the black knight.
US Government Information on ETs is Hidden Really Well, According to Whistleblower Edward Snowden
US Government Information on ETs is Hidden Really Well, According to Whistleblower Edward Snowden
One of the most popular subjects among conspiracy theorists in forums and YouTube channels is the existence of aliens and UFOs. Claims on ET existence are usually supported with more than some grainy video of a light in the sky.
However, there’s one man who is significantly better positioned than most conspiracy theorists to expose a government cover-up of extraterrestrial life: that man named Edward Snowden, the whistleblower who now lives in exile in Russia.
Snowden revealed that he had searched the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) databases for proof of alien life. He said that he had ridiculous access to the networks of the military, the CIA, the NSA, all these groups. Unfortunately, he found nothing.
Snowden concluded that the information on aliens is hidden really well even from people who are on the inside.
Conspiracy theorists agree that the ET information is hidden really well, and it only means one thing to them, keep looking.
Snowden had leaked highly classified NSA information from his position as a CIA employee. He fled to Moscow after he was charged with two counts of espionage and theft of government property. He spent more than a month living in Sheremetyevo Airport terminal before eventually being granted asylum.
A UFO has been recorded on video hovering in the sky over the Egyptian capital of Cairo. The amazing video shows what appears to be a bright cylindrical object turning and twisting in the overcast sky. While not moving, the unusual sight seems to scare those people from the ground.
Several individuals can be heard screaming in the background while some others gasp in shock.
The clip of the UFO sighting was posted on October 29 to YouTube with the caption “Something weird in the sky.”
The user asked viewers with a logical interpretation to tell them.
The video was then picked up by popular conspiracy channel Mavi 777, where dozens wrote their thoughts in the comment section.
One wrote that he did not understand the reason people did not go closer upon seeing the objects and check it out.
Another one said that it could be just a drone.
But many others claimed that it was definitive evidence of aliens.
In recent months, cigar-shaped UFOs have been in the spotlight after a series of such sightings over the US.
It started in June when a mysterious snake-like object appeared over the Mojave Desert in California. Since, then similar UFOs have been spotted over New York City, Orlando, Washington Dc, and Michigan.
Exclusive Interview: The Black Vault Founder John Greenewald Talks About TTSA, UFOs, and Existence of Aliens
Exclusive Interview: The Black Vault Founder John Greenewald Talks About TTSA, UFOs, and Existence of Aliens
This week, Jazz Shaw sat down for an interview with The Black Vault founder John Greenewald. The Black Vault is a site containing an archive of several government military documents collected from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. John digs into every dark corner of government activity involving UFOs and aliens.
Like many UFO and alien enthusiasts, Greenewald has been keenly interested in the recent military revelations about unknown aircraft in the U.S. airspace and activities of To The Stars Academy (TTSA) founded by Tom DeLonge. However, as usual, Greenewald has gone a few steps further than most people who just get their information from the mainstream media.
He has been beating up the military and the Department of Defense with FOIA requests from the day the story of the military encountering UFOs first broke in 2017. And Greenewald has really turned up some exciting discoveries.
In a recent interview with Greenewald, he also talks about the difficulties in trying to get reliable information out of the government when it comes to UFO and alien topics. See the interview.
Thrilled by the enigma of a famous video shot in Turkey over a decade ago, some internet dwellers processed it through a powerful stabilization tool, revealing uncanny images that could dazzle even sophisticated ufologists.
The mystery started back in 2008 when a Turkish night guard named Yalcin Yalman began videotaping bright, crescent-shaped objects that regularly appeared and hovered over the Marmara Sea near the resort village of Kumburgaz.
His pastime earned him fame as a UFO spotter, and his videos quickly went viral due to their authenticity confirmed by numerous experts and witnesses who saw the same objects at the time of filming.
The gear Yalman used wasn’t top-notch at all as the original videos he made were quite shaky. The quality and definition of the unstabilized tapes dropped significantly when zoomed in or out, which led some skeptics to suggest the UFO was actually a US stealth drone or other aircraft.
There were several attempts to stabilize the Kumburgaz videos, with the last one surfacing online just this week. Uploaded by a YouTube channel called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, the footage stabilized in Adobe Premiere video editing tool tries to solve the mystery of the greenish dots in the middle of the lit-up crescent.
The clip was also hailed by netizens for its outstanding quality and high definition, with many users, of course, noticing striking resemblance between the magnified dots and the perceived look of aliens.
All in all, the edited Kumburgaz images add to a growing throve of “unexplained aerial phenomena” caught on camera. Earlier, the US military confirmed authenticity of three widely-circulated videos appearing to show encounters between Navy aircraft and UFOs.
The news came into the spotlight given never-ending rumors about the US military keeping its eye on, or coming in contact with, UFOs visiting Earth.
Just back in October, the army made headlines by announcing a partnership with a group called To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science (TTSA). Owned by former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge, it claims to be in possession of a range of mysterious metal alloys that are allegedly beyond current engineering technology.
Now documents, relating to the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), released by the War Zone website, say the military wants to “assess, test, and characterize” the materials at government facilities to compare them with known commodities.

New information on the deal between To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science (TTSA) and the US Army shows that the army wants to verify the UFO research group’s claims about unexplained alloys and “technology innovations.”
The eye-catching partnership between the group, owned by former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge, and the army made headlines in recent days as many wondered what form the collaboration would take.
The group has claimed to be in possession of a range of mysterious metal alloys that are said to be beyond current engineering technology. Now documents, relating to the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), released by the War Zone website, reportedly show that the army wants to attempt to verify TTSA’s claims.
To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science is a company with material and technology innovations that offer capability advancements for army ground vehicles,” the documents reportedly read.
“These technology innovations have been acquired, designed, and produced by the Collaborator [TTSA], leveraging advancements in metamaterials and quantum physics to push performance gains.”
The agreement goes on to say that the government wants to “assess, test, and characterize” the material at government facilities to compare them with known commodities and to understand what would be required to reproduce the advancements.
“If the government can verify material solutions claims by the collaborator, then significant advancements can be made in the capabilities of army ground vehicle platforms in terms of security, force protection and weight reduction," it adds.
The documents also reveal that the agreement will run out in September, 2023, but whether the general public will get to hear how it works out was not divulged.
Eleven UFO sightings were logged by experts last month in North Carolina, but it’s an even dozen if you include a lesser known report made near Shelby, about 50 miles west of Charlotte.
That potential sighting came to light after a video appeared on YouTube, showing a disc-like object that remained stationary over Cleveland County for several minutes before vanishing, according to a witness.
The video was recorded in morning rush hour on Oct. 25 and posted with a request that viewers give ideas on what it might have been, including the possibility it was just a reflection or strange play of light.
Aaron Bostic, 33, told McClatchy news group that he was stuck in traffic on U.S. 74 in Shelby when he spotted the “diamond shaped object glowing really brightly” against a cloudy sky. It appeared to be rotating, he said.
“It really stuck out like a sore thumb and I kept thinking that maybe it was a plane landing at Charlotte Douglas (International) Airport or maybe it was a really big stunt drone, but it stayed in the same spot for two minutes,” he told McClatchy.
“Honestly, I don’t know what it was and nobody at work who has seen the video knows what it was,” he added. “I’m not a believer in that kind of stuff, but we’ve had all this come out about UFOs and the military. You sort of have to question what you believe.”
Possible explanations posted by viewers on YouTube have included a weather balloon or ball lightning, which National Geographic describes as “glowing, electric orbs” that appear as floating spheres during thunderstorms.
“Can’t really tell if its a Goodyear type blimp or one of those silvery cigar-shaped UFOs,” Molly Lenore posted on YouTube.
Bostic says he considered that it was a helicopter but saw no flashing lights, and says it didn’t have the right contours to be a blimp.
He was curious enough to get a family friend to post the video on YouTube, which has only been viewed about 500 times in the past week.
The Mutual UFO Network, which tracks UFO sightings around the world, says there were 442 sightings reported in the United States during October, more than any other nation.
North Carolina was in the top 15 for UFO reports last month, with 11 sightings, the California-based MUFON reports. California led the nation with 47 reports, followed by Florida with 40, MUFON said.
In September, a video of strange lights seen off North Carolina’s Outer Banks got international attention — and denials from the military that the lights were linked to training or other operations.
William Guy posted a 31-second video Sept. 28 on YouTube, showing what appears to be 14 glowing orbs over the water. He refers to it as a “real UFO sighting.”

In the most recent development in the negotiations over President Trump’s contentious proposal to create a Space Force, acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan has proposed that the new organization follow the current Marine Corps/Department of the Navy model. Just as the Marine Corps is a military service within the Department of the Navy, this version of the Space Force would fall under the responsibility of the secretary of the Air Force.
Briefly, the overall purpose of a future Space Force, if it happens, will be twofold. First, it will organize, train, and equip its members to build, launch, and operate satellites and other capabilities that support U.S. government activities on Earth. The second major mission will be to prepare to operate those satellites when future conflict eventually extends its battlefields into space.
But whatever the formal structure of a sixth military service, if it happens, the Pentagon will have to decide what to call its uniformed members. Few decisions are as important in determining the long-term success, and public acceptance of this new organization could depend on this one choice. Choosing the wrong naming conventions, symbology, and other artifacts in the early days will have a lasting impact. Often, newly minted leaders will either overlook these small decisions or stubbornly defend a perceived poor choice. After the debate over creation of the Space Force in the first place, the last thing the military needs is a long news cycle ridiculing whatever name is chosen.
Most Americans can easily rattle off soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine. (Despite being the fifth military service, the Coast Guard doesn’t always make the list.) On the very first day that a space service comes into being, Americans will want to know what to call its members. The wrong moniker would affect the morale, confidence, and credibility of the entire organization.
The right name should be simple and should derive from a credible story—the explanation for it should make sense. It has to be grounded in military tradition of the past, but it also has to speak to the present and the future. Given all the memes that have circulated since Trump first talked about a Space Force, Americans would likely support a name that nods toward pop culture.
Three particular names have gained traction in space circles. In an informal poll recently conducted by the Army Space Professional Association, trooper, sentinel, and guardian were among those that received positive support. Spaceman was widely regarded as a nonstarter.
Space trooper is my personal favorite. With two syllables, trooper matches the flow of the soldier-sailor phrasing. Also, the Army refers to captain-led cavalry organizations as troops and their members as troopers. Furthermore, within military circles, the book and movie Starship Troopers is quite popular and on many official reading lists, so the name will resonate as a source of strength and inspiration, especially if we end up fighting aliens someday.
Space sentinel is a strong candidate as it evokes an image of a person standing watch over something, such as the Army’s Old Guard sentinel protecting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. Since members of a Space Force will be operating and defending satellites that look across the entire globe, that imagery could work. Also, the Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard each have equipment (radars, drones, Coast Guard cutters) currently in their inventories known as sentinels, which would allow for certain types of lineage to carry into the new force. Finally, The Sentinel is an anthology of space-centric short stories by Arthur C. Clarke, one of the most well-known space-centric sci-fi authors.
A space guardian makes sense as well, in part because of the way it invokes the heavens. As the newest military service, some space professionals would prefer to use terminology that isn’t steeped in centuries of military history. Adopting the name guardian provides an opportunity to introduce a new term into the lexicon. And of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has turned the Guardians of the Galaxy into a household name.
The wrong moniker would affect the morale, confidence, and credibility of the entireorganization.
Why are some military space professionals against the name spaceman? For one thing, it’s a little too close to airman. In 1947, Congress officially split the Army Air Forces out of the U.S. Army and consolidated them into the newly established Department of the Air Force. Members of the “new” U.S. Air Force didn’t want to be known as air soldiers and eventually settled on airman. Under Shanahan’s proposal, and similar to the history of the Air Force, the Space Force will be a separate and distinct branch of the military, although still within the Department of the Air Force. (Yes, I know that’s confusing.) Members will want their name to be different, especially knowing that one day, it will eventually transition out of the Air Force and become its own military department. Similarly, the space service deserves the opportunity to find terminology that is connected to, but not a carbon copy of, its origin. Spaceman as a name is as close to airman as you can get. And of course, it makes sense to avoid using -man in the 21st century, even though it’s long been accepted within the Air Force as gender neutral. Trooper, sentinel, and guardian offer an obvious distinction so that Space Force members will view themselves as different from their Air Force counterparts.
Eventually, the space community will find a name for its members that sticks. Internet memes and obvious references to Star Wars or Star Trek aside, people will find serious words and symbols that come to represent the new organization. But finding the right words and symbols is a serious and necessary conversation, one that shouldn’t be restricted to PowerPoint presentations within the Pentagon. The leaders and decision-makers of the new Space Force should actively seek input from the community. A relatively simple way to address this would be to utilize a series of focus groups that could include future targets for recruiting, congressional members and staff, industry, and existing service members who are designated as space professionals
But we can also do this more informally. What do you think we should call members of the Space Force if it comes to be? Leave it in the comments or tweet it with #RealSpaceForce.

Former Brexit Party candidate for Yorkshire seat says she comes from far-flung star and aliens are 'working with world Governments'
Former Brexit Party candidate for Yorkshire seat says she comes from far-flung star and aliens are 'working with world Governments'

A would-be MP for Batley and Spen believed aliens were “working with our world Governments” and that she came from a star called Sirius.
Jill Hughes was the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Brexit Party in the West Yorkshire constituency.
But when The Yorkshire Post contacted the Brexit Party today, a spokesman said Ms Hughes had stood down and the party would announce her replacement in due course.
However Ms Hughes was posting supportive Brexit Party messages on both Twitter and Facebook today, and a photo posted showed her at a Brexit Party meeting on Wednesday.
Ms Hughes’ unusual outlook came to light as campaign group Hope Not Hate looked into Brexit Party candidates’ backgrounds.
They questioned her employment history but also quoted from social media postings and her book, released last year, Spirit of Prophecy.
In the book it reads “the E.T’s, some of them less than Apple Pie wholesome or Positive pumpkins, are already here working with our world Governments, but that’s all hush-hush for now”.
And in information about the author listed on Amazon, it said: “To this day J.J.Hughes believes in elves/fairies/mermaids/unicorns and all things Elemental and Other Worldly…She has had numerous prophetic premonitions – usually about death, which so far despite a few close shaves she has escaped. She came to believe in reincarnation in her mid-twenties when her old horse Red made a re-appearance, this time as a palomino called Hooray Henry.”
In one post on website The Soul Matrix from 2017 Ms Hughes said: “I have just come to truly realise that my purpose is to raise consciousness here on earth - I originated from Sirius.”
Ms Hughes has also faced questions from Leave activists in Batley and Spen, with Jonathan Scott - who said he ran Vote Leave campaigns in Dewsbury and Batley and Spen - questioning who Ms Hughes was on her official campaign Facebook page.
He said: “No one I have spoken to even at Brexit Party events have ever mentioned your name?”
But Ms Hughes said it was now less important that PPCs lived in their would-be constituencies. She said: “We live in a Global-Digital world now-geographical locations are less and less relevant.”
And added: “The Brexit Party selected outstanding candidates across the entire nation regardless. Rightly we were judged on our abilities not 'where we live' or where we come from...that’s how democracy and meritocracy works surely?”
She continued: “I am intensely proud to be a Yorkshire lass regardless and will do my utmost for my constituents.”
Aliens ‘werken al samen met onze overheden, maar dat wordt stilgehouden’. Britse ex-parlementskandidaat doet opzienbarende uitspraken
Aliens ‘werken al samen met onze overheden, maar dat wordt stilgehouden’. Britse ex-parlementskandidaat doet opzienbarende uitspraken
Een kandidaat-parlementslid voor de Britse Brexit Party uit Yorkshire heeft zich teruggetrokken nadat er in de media nieuwsberichten waren verschenen over haar uitspraken over aliens.
Jill Hughes claimde onder meer dat ‘aliens samenwerken met onze overheden’ en dat ze zelf afkomstig was van Sirius.
Een woordvoerder van de partij zei tegen de Yorkshire Post dat Hughes niet langer zou meedoen aan de verkiezingen en dat er binnenkort een vervanger zal worden aangekondigd.
Stil wordt gehouden
Toch verschenen er nog berichten over de Brexit Party op de sociale media van Hughes. Daarnaast plaatste ze een foto van zichzelf op een bijeenkomst van de partij.
Een campagnegroep genaamd Hope Not Hate had zich verdiept in de achtergrond van de kandidaten van de Brexit Party.
De groep had ontdekt dat Hughes afgelopen jaar een boek had gepubliceerd, waarin ze schrijft dat ‘de ET’s al hier zijn en samenwerken met onze overheden, maar dat dat stil wordt gehouden’.
Bewustzijn
Op haar Amazon-profiel staat verder dat ze soms visioenen krijgt en gelooft in reïncarnatie, elven en zeemeerminnen.
In een bericht op de website The Soul Matrix schreef Hughes: “Ik heb ontdekt dat het mijn taak is om het bewustzijn te verruimen op aarde. Ik kom van Sirius.”
Mystery as ‘identical UFO fleet’ seen over Utah and North Carolina within hours
Mystery as ‘identical UFO fleet’ seen over Utah and North Carolina within hours
The onlooker claimed to see around 50 bright lights appear in the skies above Utah, with a friend saying the same was spotted 2,000 miles away in North Carolina.
A fleet of UFOs have been spotted above Utah on the same day the same objects were seen 2,000 miles away in North Carolina, a conspiracy theorist has wildly claimed.
The footage, filmed from Bountiful in the US state of Utah on October 10, appears to show several bright lights hovering in the sky.
They flicker in the night sky and repeatedly disappear and reappear as the cameraman watches.
He counts at least eight of the lights emerging in a line.
The footage was sent into the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), with the witness reporting there were originally 50 bright orange lights in the atmosphere.
“I thought a large meteor had broken up in the atmosphere, but then they hovered in a cluster and changed direction toward the East,” he said.
The cluster of UFOs(Image: YOUTUBE/ET DATABASE)
“The cluster of lights disappeared and a bright, white light was left in their place hovering.
“I then observed several bright white lights blinking in a sequential pattern in a straight line as they hovered.”
To add more mystery to the clip, he even claimed that a friend sent him a link to a video “of a cluster of bright orange lights hovering over the ocean near North Carolina on the same day”.
“I watched the video and observed that it was exactly what I saw during the initial sighting,” the unnamed onlooker said.
While he did not specify or reveal this second piece of footage, a similar video did emerge at the time of what appeared to be several bright objects above the sea.
Many have since dismissed that as being nothing but military flares.
The new footage is quickly going viral after being posted to YouTube channel ET Database by conspiracy theorist Scott C Waring.

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.
The LEMUR, with its four limbs and hundreds of tiny fishhooks in each of its 16 fingers (yes, 16) and top of the line artificial intelligence, recently scaled a steep rock wall in Death Valley while at the same time keeping an artificial eye out for ancient fossils to simulate a mission of searching for signs of life on Mars.
That’s a little unnerving. However, the most creepy of all of these NASA space robots might just be the Ice Worm.
Adapted from a single limb of LEMUR, Ice Worm moves by scrunching and extending its joints like an inchworm. The robot climbs ice walls by drilling one end at a time into the hard surface. It can use the same technique to stabilize itself while taking scientific samples, even on a precipice. The robot also has LEMUR’s AI, enabling it to navigate by learning from past mistakes. To hone its technical skills, JPL project lead Aaron Parness tests Ice Worm on glaciers in Antarctica and ice caves on Mount St. Helens so that it can one day contribute to science on Earth and more distant worlds: Ice Worm is part of a generation of projects being developed to explore the icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter, which may have oceans under their frozen crusts.
Speaking of Saturn, NASA recently announced that they are developing shapeshifting robots (pictured at the top of the page) that will study Saturn’s very important moon Titan.
That’s right, shapeshifting robots.
In a dusty robotics yard at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, the Shapeshifter team is testing a 3D-printed prototype of this unusual explorer. 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.
The Shapeshifter will have to wait its turn to go into outer space though. Next up for a mission to Titan will be the Dragonfly in 2026.

The Russian navy has declassified its records of encounters with unidentified objects technologically surpassing anything humanity ever built, reports Svobodnaya Pressa news website.
The records dating back to soviet times were compiled by a special navy group collecting reports of unexplained incidents delivered by submarines and military ships. The group was headed by deputy Navy commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov, and the documents reveal numerous cases of possible UFO encounters, the website says.
Vladimir Azhazha, former navy officer and a famous Russian UFO researcher, says the materials are of great value.
“Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water,” he said.
On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away.
Many mysterious events happened in the region of Bermuda Triangle, recalls retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov. Instruments malfunctioned with no apparent reason or detected strong interference. The former navy officer says this could be deliberate disruption by UFOs.
“On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph. Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,”Beketov said.
Navy intelligence veteran, Captain 1st rank Igor Barklay comments:
“ Ocean UFOs often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”
Another place where people often report UFO encounters is Russia’s Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. Fishermen tell of powerful lights coming from the deep and objects flying up from the water.
In one case in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal spotted a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits. The encounter happened at a depth of 50 meters, and the divers tried to catch the strangers. Three of the seven men died, while four others were severely injured.
“I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be discarded,” says Vladimir Azhazha. “Skepticism is the easiest way: believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So it’s very important to analyze what they encounter there.”
Meanwhile Russian Navy officials have denied the collection of UFO-related encounters exists. A source in the Navy’s service staff said the story may have its roots in the reports of vessel commanders, which describe locating objects of unclear but Earthly origin.
“An illusion of a UFO encounter can result from large fish shoals, floating garbage or natural phenomena,” ITAR-TASS news agency cites the source.
Did Anunnaki Ancient Aliens Build A Civilization On Earth Before Humans?
Did Anunnaki Ancient Aliens Build A Civilization On Earth Before Humans?
A lot of information in this one adding to my knowledge.
Whether out of place artifacts and structures are evidence of a Lost Civilization built by the Anunnaki Ancient Aliens before Human beings existed on Earth.
‘Out-of-Place Artifact’ (OoPArt) is a term coined by American naturalist and cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson for an object of historical, archaeological, or paleontological interest found in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context that could challenge conventional historical chronology by being too advanced for the level of civilization that existed at the time, or showing human presence well before humans were supposed to exist.
The question that we are ultimately confronted with is who built the lost Civilization before human beings?
Was it the Ancient Anunnaki Aliens as suggested by alternative historical theories or some other unknown entity/ies?
The question persistently posed by Out of Place Artifacts is whether they are evidence of advanced past Ancient Alien or Lost Human Civilization.
Zechariah Sitchin and other proponents of the Ancient Astronaut Theory suggest that such artifacts are evidence of an Ancient Alien Civilization, whilst on the other end of the unacknowledged History spectrum you have Graham Hancock and others taking the position that it is evidence of an advanced Human Civilization.
We’ve covered the Anunnaki angle considerably as part of the ongoing ‘Anunnaki Chronicles‘ series, and today, we shed light on the alternative Graham Hancock argument on whether the past reveals the presence of an Ancient Alien or Lost Human Civilization.
The Evidence For A Lost Civilization
According to Hancock, the Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis emerges from ancient texts and traditions when they are read in the light of modern space-exploration technology. However, at present NO ancient archaeological site and NO ancient text or tradition provides persuasive evidence for the ancient astronaut hypothesis.
In his view, if one examines the original source material upon which Sitchin drew, and comparing what you find to how Sitchin presented it in his Earth Chronicles series, you would see that Sitchin has created a gigantic work of science fiction masquerading as fact.
As such. Out of Place Artifacts, the anomalies of history and prehistory pointed to by advocates of the ancient astronaut hypothesis are far better and more elegantly explained as emanating from a lost, advanced HUMAN civilization of prehistoric antiquity than from high-tech alien visitors from another Planet.
His verdict on whether the past reveals an Ancient Alien or Lost Human Civilization is therefore that it is a lost Human Civilization that we should credit and not Ancient Aliens.
Top 5 Anomalies & Out Of Place Artifacts
1. Klerksdorp Spheres
Resembling the ‘Death Star’ in Star Wars, the Klerksdorp Spheres were found by Miners in South Africa and their origin remains unknown.
They were found in rock dated 2.8 billion years old and their presence in this Archaeological layer remains perplexing.
2. The Antikythera Mechanism
The next perplexing artifact was recovered by sponge-divers from a shipwreck off the coast of Antikythera, Greece. Its a sophisticated mechanism of gears whose existence 2000 years ago cannot be explained.
3. The Battery Of Babylon
The 2000 Ancient Battery of Babylon was unearthed in Baghdad in 1938. The device could create an electric charge, and this find is particularly remarkable since we only invented batters in 1799.
4. Egyptian Helicopoters & Inca Planes
The mystery of the flying machines of the Gods continues to reign. Our previous entry on the Vimana Epics of Ancient India also shed some light on this extraordinary question.
Hieroglyphs such as those at the Egyptian Temple at Abydos only add to the mystery as they depict Helicopters, submarines and supersonic jets…Meanwhile Golden Ancient Inca Model Aircraft suggest the presence of aviation technology amongst the Ancient Civilizations of South America.
The suggestion that Ancient Civilizations possessed advanced Aviation Technology which we are only beginning to understand today remains, and the jury is still out on how that will be eventually resolved.
5. The Piri Ries Map
Last but not least, is the Piri Ries Map.
In 1929, a group of historians found an amazing map drawn on a gazelle skin. Research showed that it was a genuine document drawn in 1513 by Piri Reis, a famous admiral of the Turkish fleet in the sixteenth century.
The controversy lies in that the Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. The northern coastline of Antarctica is perfectly detailed even though the map was drawn 300 years before it was discovered, drawing the coastline in perfect detail even though it was under ice.
Conclusion: Anunnaki Ancient Aliens or Lost Human Civilization?
Whether Historical anomalies like Ancient Megalith Structures and Out of Place Artifacts demonstrate the existence of an Ancient Alien or Lost Human Civilization remains contested…Perhaps the answer lies in combining both theories instead of adopting a mutually exclusive approach to either theory.
In Ancient Aliens Debunked, our previous entry based on a documentary by the same name which you can read here, we also noted that the Ancient Astronaut Theory was not always correct in its interpretation of certain Out Of Place Artifacts, sometimes making exaggerated claims in order to shore up support of itself.
Nevertheless, its clear that unanswered questions remain and various new lines of enquiry continue to develop, expanding and enriching our understanding of the Human story…That in itself is progress, and we will continue to follow the latest revelations in an effort to answer what is perhaps Humanity’s ultimate question.
The Anunnaki Ancient Astronuat Theory also continues to provoke interest and debate on the question of our origins and whether the Historical Timeline of Civilization provided by the current historical paradigm is correct.
In Realm Of The Elohim, our own E-Book based on Zechariah Sitchin’s Lost Book of Enki, an effort was made to provide accessible and digestible information on the Ancient Astronaut Theory and the activities of the Anunnaki from the landing on Earth, the setting up of the first Base station at Edin, the creation of man, great deluge and the Nuclear destruction of Sumer up to the rise of Babylon under Marduk.
It also explores the implications of the Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut Theory for the existence of God and Spirituality
Due to the ongoing debate and interest on the topic especially online, a list of online references and Documentaries is also included for further individual research and exploration.

ALIENS AMONG HUMANS AND THE PLANETARY TRANSMIGRATION
ALIENS AMONG HUMANS AND THE PLANETARY TRANSMIGRATION
People have always wondered if there’s life in other planets, if aliens ever visited humans and if they left descendants on Earth somehow.
What people don’t always know, is that aliens might be closer than they imagine. They can be next door. According to many different cultures, there are alien souls trapped in human bodies.
What is Planetary Transmigration
In occult philosophy it is said that humans live on seven different planets, evolving continuously from minerals until the soul reaches its final destination, which involves reuniting with God, or unity. In Hinduism, planets are considered living beings and have a specific time to exist. Like all living things, they die at some stage.
When planets cease to exist, the creatures that live in that planet have two possible destinations: if they have evolved enough to continue their journey, they incarnate in a new planet, where they will develop other faculties in order to continue the process of evolution.
However, if some of them haven’t absorbed all experiences that the planet offered – as it is believed that each planet is “programmed” in a way that enables creatures to develop a certain aspect of consciousness – some of them might migrate to a planet to repeat the same experience. This process is called planetary transmigration or transmigration of the soul.
Aliens Living on Earth – Sumerian, Hindu, Egyptian and Mayan Gods Were Extraterrestrials
-According to Spiritism theories, a long time ago, a group of extraterrestrials arrived on Earth to repeat the human experience in this planet, since they could not continue the experience with the rest of their fellows. Having completed the human experience before, they were much more technologically advanced than Earthlings.
In many different religions and traditions, there are references to advanced beings that coexisted with primitive humans in ancient times. It appears in the Sumerian tradition, as the gods described in the Sumerian tablets are believed to have arrived from other planet that exploded.
It also appears in the Hindu tradition. The Mahabharata along with the Ramayana, the most important books of Hinduism, bring information about gods that had flying machines and could contact other beings from other planetary systems.
The Egyptian mythology is filled with references to beings with a certain knowledge and technology that could only be consistent with a more advanced civilization. There are also images of flying objects in the walls of Egyptian caves that look exactly like those described in the Vedas.
Mayan mythology also makes references to beings from other planets that arrived on Earth and genetically modified the earthlings, making the primitive human look more like them. Some argue that the Bible saying “God created men in His own image”, refers to these gods that engineered humans, helping in the transition from animal to man.
In short, the same history has been told in all religions and traditions, under different names and with the elements of each culture.
Extraterrestrials and Atlantis – the Lost Continent
Legends tell of aliens arriving on flying machines and genetically modified humans who mixed their DNA with normal humans and then…. what? If the original planets no longer existed, where did they go, and if they stayed, how come there is no trace of them anymore?
There are many possible explanations for that, but one possibility is that when the great cataclysm that destroyed Atlantis happened, the alien technology disappeared under the waters.
They escaped to Egypt, Europe and South America (it’s said that this is what allowed these people to have a great amount of information about alien visitors in their myths and legends) where they lived among humans. Without technology, they died.
The Reincarnation Process – Alien Souls, Human Bodies
Spiritism belief holds that that after death, the extraterrestrial visitors were reincarnated among humans, being orn again in human bodies. The reincarnation process is the same for every human being on Earth and with aliens it was no different.
Once born in human bodies, with human limitations, all memories from previous lives were erased from the conscious mind, as it is said that the brain doesn’t support all the information from all incarnations, keeping only what is necessary for one life (the rest remains in the unconscious mind and is never lost).
Until now the aliens continue to reborn among humans. Without knowing their true origins, these people live normally keeping only a slight sensation that there might be much more out there than their ordinary lives.
A 'very significant' discovery of a Bronze Age monument has been uncovered after being hidden under foliage in the Forest of Dean.
Dating back to about 2,000 BC the circular ritual ring was found during a LiDAR laser scan of the area.
The findings, known as a ring cairn, consist of a circular bank with limestone standing stones.
Archaeologist Jon Hoyle discovered the site, near the village of Tidenham, Gloucestershire, which he first believed could be a World War Two gun emplacement due to its 'extremely circular' nature.

This is the only Bronze Age monument of its type to be discovered in Gloucestershire, however the cairns are common in Derbyshire, Northumberland and Wales, said Mr Hoyle.
Mr Hoyle told the BBC: 'It was very exciting. I was expecting to find quite a lot of new sites with the LiDAR, but nothing as interesting as this.'
Adding: 'Nobody knows precisely what they were used for.
'Some have been found in association with burials, and often there appear to be residues of charcoal in places like this, suggesting rituals that involved fire.'

The large ring is about 80ft wide and contains a circular bank formed with rubble that is 16ft wide.
White limestone standing stones were found on top of the bank, about 3ft high each.'
LiDAR (light detection and ranging) can be used to expose structures hidden by folliage or other structures by bouncing light off a target to measure distances and build a 3D map.
The archaeologist first believed the ring could be a World War Two gun emplacement due to its 'extremely circular' nature
WHAT IS LIDAR TECHNOLOGY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
LiDAR (light detection and ranging) is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by shooting a laser at a target and analysing the light that is reflected back.
The technology was developed in the early 1960s and uses laser imaging with radar technology that can calculate distances.
It was first used in meteorology to measure clouds by the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
The term lidar is a portmanteau of 'light and 'radar.'
Lidar uses ultraviolet, visible, or near infrared light to image objects and can be used with a wide range of targets, including non-metallic objects, rocks, rain, chemical compounds, aerosols, clouds and even single molecules.
A narrow laser beam can be used to map physical features with very high resolution.
This new technique allowed researchers to map outlines of what they describe as dozens of newly discovered Maya cities hidden under thick jungle foliage centuries after they were abandoned by their original inhabitants.
Aircraft with a Lidar scanner produced three-dimensional maps of the surface by using light in the form of pulsed laser linked to a GPS system.
The technology helped researchers discover sites much faster than using traditional archaeological methods.
There are some parts of England where you can’t throw a stone without hitting a stone circle. There are other parts where you won’t hit a single one. Gloucestershire recently joined the ranks of stone circle locations with the discovery of a Bronze Age ring cairn hidden by thick foliage in the Forest of Dean. Who’s Dean? Did he know about it?
“Nobody knows precisely what they were used for. Some have been found in association with burials, and often there appear to be residues of charcoal in places like this, suggesting rituals that involved fire.”
Part of the mystery of stone circles, found primarily in the UK but others are scattered around the world, is that there are so many dating to a relatively short period in history … and yet, we know so little about them. That sentiment is echoed by archaeologist Jon Hoyle, who told the BBC how he found yet another one in Gloucestershire’s Forest of Dean.
“It was very exciting. I was expecting to find quite a lot of new sites with the LiDAR, but nothing as interesting as this.”
The Forest of Dean
Indeed, Hoyle wasn’t even looking for stone circles, since Gloucestershire is about 70 miles from Avebury and Stonehenge and, until now, had no ring cairns. In fact, it appears he was just conducting a general aerial survey using LiDAR (the light detection and ranging equipment which uses laser beams to erase ground cover and create a 3D picture of what lies hidden and beneath the surface) when he spotted something “interesting.” (Photos here.)

At first, Hoyle suspected the “extremely circular” mound in a naked Forest of Dean was a World War Two gun emplacement. That might make sense since the Forest of Dean was an important English mining area, with extremely productive coal and iron mines, foundries to process them and a network of railways and tramroads to distribute them. However, when Hoyle visited the site at a secret location near the village of Tidenham, he realized this mound hid something that dated much earlier than the 1940s – something from the Bronze Age between 2,500 BCE and 1,500 BCE.
This shouldn’t be surprising, since the Forest of Dean (historians debate whether ‘Dean’ is a corruption of the Welsh ‘din’, which means ‘hillfort’, or ‘Dane’ as in ‘Land of the Danes’ which refers to the Viking settlements in the area) was occupied by humans in the Mesolithic Age (15,000 to 5,000 BP – Before Present or 1950) and signs of Bronze Age agricultural field systems have been found there. Remnants of stone megaliths have also been discovered, but no rings … until now.
“The ring cairn is about 25m (80ft) in diameter and made up of a 5m-wide (16ft) rubble bank, with at least 10 white limestone standing stones, each no more than 1m (3ft) high, standing on top.”
Hoyle told the BBC that ring cairns were “common in upland areas, in places like Derbyshire, Northumberland and Wales” but this is a first for Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean. It’s an area Hoyle knows well – his new book is “Hidden Landscapes of the Forest of Dean.” However, even with his extensive knowledge of the archaeological sites in the Forest of Dean, the purpose of this ring is a mystery to him.
One thing is for certain – The Forest of Dean would make a great title for an album by a progressive rock band named Stoned Circles.
What Earth creature is best-suited for space travel? If you said the one with the smartest brain and opposable thumbs, you’d be half right. If you said the eight-legged one that looks like a micro-sized water bear, is found thriving in the most hostile environments on the planet, and has already survived in the vacuum of outer space without the benefit of a million-dollar space suit, you’d be half right as well. Researchers are seriously studying ways to combine human and tardigrade DNA to create a radiation-resistant hybrid to colonize Mars. Will their spacesuits need more legs?
“If we have another 20 years of pure discovery and mapping and functional validation of what we think we know, maybe by 20 years from now, I’m hoping we could be at the stage where we would be able to say we can make a human that could be better surviving on Mars.”
While humans might visit Mars before 2039, that date is well-within the projections for setting up a permanent settlement there, and it’s the survival of those humans Chris Mason, a geneticist and associate professor of physiology and biophysics at Weill Cornell University in New York, is focused on. In a presentation at the 8th Human Genetics in NYC Conference, Mason talked about what he learned as a member of the NASA team studying the twin astronauts Mark and Scott Kelly and how his physiology changed after Mark spent a year in space. That research highlighted the damaging effects of cosmic radiation on the human body. In an interview with Space.com after his presentation, Mason discussed his radical idea for gene-splicing human cells with the mighty tardigrade.
“Genetically editing humans for space travel would likely be a part of natural changes to the human physiology that could occur after living on Mars for a number of years, Mason said. “It’s not if we evolve; it’s when we evolve,” he added.”

The way Mason sees it, putting humans in space in large numbers would trigger the usual survival-of-the-fittest evolutionary changes to their physiology, one of which would be that the survivors would have slightly more radiation protection which would be passed down to their offspring and grow stronger over generations. By genetically altering humans ahead of time, that evolution would be accelerated artificially. The real question is … would natural evolution create a human with tardigrade characteristics like Mason and other researchers want to create themselves?
Here’s another question. Despite the tardigrade’s universal survivalist body, would a human-tardigrade hybrid lose its ability to survive on Earth? Would these hybrids be doomed to die on Mars and never return to Earth?
“In terms of a question of liberty, you’re engineering it [a future human] to have lots more opportunities, again assuming we haven’t taken away opportunities. If we learned that, in some way, when we decided to try and prove the ability of humans to live beyond Earth, and we take away their ability to live on Earth, I think that would be unjust.”
Unjust, yes. However, if we’re talking human ethics, we know from past experience that human profits influence human ethics. While this might cause NASA to ponder whether it’s right for a Martian colony, would it stop a space corporation from offering an obscene amount of money to volunteers on a suicide mission to mine an asteroid loaded with rare minerals – money that might set their family up for life – even for generations?
Would ethics really win out?
Based on past experience, will we see a human-tardigrade hybrid?
To paraphrase a suitable adage: the water bear is already out of the bag.
