China wil in juli missie naar Mars lanceren - HLN.be
China wil in juli missie naar Mars lanceren - HLN.be
WETENSCHAP & PLANEET China wil in juli een missie naar Mars lanceren. Een vanop afstand bestuurbare robot moet het oppervlak van de rode planeet gaan verkennen, laat het bedrijf dat het project uitvoert weten. De Marsmissie is een van de vele projecten van China’s peperdure ruimteprogramma.
De missie naar Mars stond al een tijd op de agenda van de Chinese regering. De China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) heeft nu laten weten dat de missie binnen enkele maanden kan vertrekken. “Het grote project loopt volgens plan en we mikken op een lancering in juli”, liet CASC zondag weten.
De missie kreeg de naam Tianwen, wat letterlijk vertaald “vragen aan de hemel” betekent. Het project houdt in dat er een satelliet in een baan rond Mars gaat vliegen en dat een robot het landoppervlak van de planeet gaat verkennen en de bodem gaat analyseren. Het kost naar verwachting maanden om Mars te bereiken. De afstand van de aarde naar Mars bedraagt dan ook ruwweg 55 miljoen kilometer.
China voerde eerder al een soortgelijke maanmissie uit. In januari 2019 lieten de Chinezen als eersten een klein landvoertuig de duistere zijde van het maanoppervlak verkennen. De Verenigde Staten hebben intussen al vier verkenningsvoertuigen naar Mars gestuurd. De bedoeling is dat deze zomer een vijfde vertrekt, die ongeveer in februari volgend jaar moet aankomen. De Verenigde Arabische Emiraten willen hun eerste Arabische Marsmissie lanceren vanuit Japan op 15 juli.
Ruimtestation
Andere doelen van China zijn onder meer om Chinese astronauten op de maan te zetten en in 2022 een eigen ruimtestation te hebben. Het land wil zo op hetzelfde technologische niveau komen als de Verenigde Staten en haar status als wereldmacht onderstrepen.

Warning: Killer Asteroids Headed Our Way
Warning: Killer Asteroids Headed Our Way
More news from space you can’t use; this time it’s gravity. Apparently Earth is losing its grip:
Earth’s magnetic field, critical to all life, may be in danger from ‘leaking core’
Of course if you read beyond the sensational headline you will discover that not only is it leaking, “but that it has been for about 2.5 billion years.” So our task is monumental: that’s a helluva curve that needs flattening.
And that’s not even the bad news:
Unexplained anomaly weakening Earth’s magnetic field is EVOLVING and SPLITTING in two, warn scientists
The European Space Agency (ESA) has deployed its constellation of satellites to investigate unusual weaknesses in Earth’s magnetic field. It appears that the strange anomaly believed to be responsible is now evolving and splitting in two.
That’s worse than a mutating virus. But once again, as they say, read the whole thing. If you do you’ll discover that this too is a natural phenomenon and has occurred before, most likely many times.
Indeed, the Earth’s magnetic field is known to flip the poles altogether every few hundred thousand years, and we are now long overdue such a flip. This recent unexplained magnetic activity(in) the Atlantic may be a sign of an impending flip…
It’s completely out of our hands, just like Earth’s previous periodic warming and cooling cycles that have occurred repeatedly over many millennia, but the danger is imminent. And you should be afraid, very, very afraid:
For now, the effects of this anomaly are restricted to technical malfunctions aboard spacecraft and orbital satellites. However, because Earth’s magnetic field shields us from solar winds and cosmic radiation, it’s a critical part of our planetary defense system, along with our atmosphere, which protects us from daily asteroid bombardment.
So until such time as scientists can reach consensus on
1) which one of the poles should be designated ‘North’ in perpetuity,
2) how our burning of fossil fuels is causing the shift currently underway and
3) Al Gore can get in on the selling of magnetic core credits, the entire planet will remain vulnerable to asteroids falling out of the sky due to manmade malfunctioning gravitational forces.
Incoming: killer asteroid!
And we only have 20 years left to figure it out. In the meantime scientists recommend that you take all necessary precautions: stay home as much as you can, wash your hands frequently, wear a facemask and get a hard hat.
US Military's Secret UFO Investigations - We Almost Have Too Much Information
US Military's Secret UFO Investigations - We Almost Have Too Much Information
COAST TO COAST AM –
Retired U.K. Ministry of Defence official Nick Pope spoke about his new documentary Aliens at the Pentagon, which untangles the numerous threads of the December 2017 revelation about the US military’s secret UFO investigation– the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP).
“With the AATIP story,” he remarked, “we almost have too much information,”– the public has been presented with a barrage of details including alleged mystery metals, video footage of anomalous objects, and various players like the wealthy entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, Senator Harry Reid, and rock star Tom DeLonge.
Fear grips locals after Giant Creature appears on a mountain range in Mexico
Fear grips locals after Giant Creature appears on a mountain range in Mexico
Locals claim seeing a giant creature on a mountain range near San Luis Potosí's Huasteca Region, Mexico last week and even they photographed the creature with their cellphones.
Witness report:
"I was with my husband, playing with our child, when we heard a boom, like an explosion. Then we looked toward the hillside, from where we thought the sound originated. We thought it was a landslide," said Mrs. Antonia, who could not believe what her eyes were seeing: a tall, thin man. "Like a giant."
"The time was around five thirty in the afternoon; I was very frightened. My husband mocked me, but when he saw that 'thing' he got scared and said we should get into the house, even though we were far away." This is the account of a young native woman who claims having seen something strange - a large being, immense, looking like a giant.
Antonia's story matches the testimony given by other residents of the "Ojo de Agua" ejido and adjacent localities in the municipality of Ciudad Valles in San Luis Potosí's Huasteca Region.
The event caused fear and uncertainty among residents of the Tének indigenous region, frightened by the prospect of the giant in the mountains. The news was disseminated through photographs. Given the amount of interest generated, an investigation into the subject has been requested.
According to the statement issued by Agustín Hernández, a representative of the indigenous area, there has been much talk about the enormous figure appearing in the heights of the mountain range.
Most of the inhabitants of the Tének Mountains, specifically the occupants of the "Ojo de Agua" ejido, have expressed their concern at these events.
The elders are the most given to believe in these subjects, but have remained silent. According to most authorities, there has never been a sighting of this kind before, which has caused a sensation. Other stories suggest an agreement within the tribe to "keep silent."

Ancient Breakaway Civilizations may have been found on Mars and Venus
Ancient Breakaway Civilizations may have been found on Mars and Venus
Hidden details within the many photos NASA releases to the public may be all the proof we need of extraterrestrial civilizations in our solar system.
Billy Carson, the founder of 4biddenknowledge, heads a team of anomaly hunters who tirelessly pore over every feature in these photos in the pursuit to uncover out of place artifacts strewn about the solar system.
Take a look at this image, a statue of a human figure, a human face wearing a hat, suggesting that this statue may have been carved by an ancient breakaway civilization that once lived on the planet Mars.
The next images show what looks like two big hairy creatures, the images left show the back of the being, the images right show a similar being standing behind a rock.
Could it be that there are still certain (bigfoot) creatures, maybe belonging to an ancient breakaway civilization, walking around on the planet Mars?

Super-Rare Type Of Galaxy – A “Cosmic Ring Of Fire” – As It Existed 11 Billion Years Ago
Astronomers have captured an image of a super-rare type of galaxy – described as a “cosmic ring of fire” – as it existed 11 billion years ago.

The galaxy, which has roughly the mass of the Milky Way, is circular with a hole in the middle, rather like a titanic doughnut. Its discovery, announced in the journal Nature Astronomy, is set to shake up theories about the earliest formation of galactic structures and how they evolve.
“It is a very curious object that we’ve never seen before,” said lead researcher Dr Tiantian Yuan, from Australia’s ARC Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D). “It looks strange and familiar at the same time.”
The galaxy, named R5519, is 11 billion light-years from the Solar System. The hole at its centre is truly massive, with a diameter two billion times longer than the distance between the Earth and the Sun. To put it another way, it is three million times bigger than the diameter of the supermassive black hole in the galaxy Messier 87, which in 2019 became the first ever to be directly imaged.
“It is making stars at a rate 50 times greater than the Milky Way,” said Dr Yuan, who is an ASTRO 3D Fellow based at the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing at Swinburne University of Technology, in the state of Victoria.
“Most of that activity is taking place on its ring – so it truly is a ring of fire.”
Working with colleagues from around Australia, US, Canada, Belgium and Denmark, Dr Yuan used spectroscopic data gathered by the WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii and images recorded by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to identify the unusual structure.

A composite image of the ring galaxy R5519 compiled from single-colour images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
The evidence suggests it is a type known as a “collisional ring galaxy”, making it the first one ever located in the early Universe.
There are two kinds of ring galaxies. The more common type forms because of internal processes. Collisional ones form – as the name suggests – as a result of immense and violent encounters with other galaxies.

In the nearby “local” Universe they are 1000 times rarer than the internally created type. Images of the much more distant R5519 stem from about 10.8 billion years ago, just three billion years after the Big Bang. They indicate that collisional ring galaxies have always been extremely uncommon.
ASTRO 3D co-author, Dr Ahmed Elagali, based at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research in Western Australia, said studying R5519 would help determine when spiral galaxies began to develop.
“Further, constraining the number density of ring galaxies through cosmic time can also be used to put constraints on the assembly and evolution of local-like galaxy groups,” he added.
Another co-author, Professor Kenneth Freeman from the Australian National University, said the discovery had implications for understanding how galaxies like the Milky Way formed.
“The collisional formation of ring galaxies requires a thin disk to be present in the ‘victim’ galaxy before the collision occurs,” he explained.
“The thin disk is the defining component of spiral galaxies: before it assembled, the galaxies were in a disorderly state, not yet recognisable as spiral galaxies.”
“In the case of this ring galaxy, we are looking back into the early universe by 11 billion years, into a time when thin disks were only just assembling. For comparison, the thin disk of our Milky Way began to come together only about nine billion years ago. This discovery is an indication that disk assembly in spiral galaxies occurred over a more extended period than previously thought.”
Drs Yuan and Elagali, and Professor Freeman, worked with colleagues from the University of New South Wales, Macquarie University, and University of Queensland, all in Australia, together with others at the Cosmic Dawn Centre (DAWN) in Denmark, Texas A&M University in the US, York University in Canada, and Ghent University in Belgium.

Recent statistic surveys show that a UFO is likely seen approximately every ten seconds throughout the world. If just one percent snapped a photograph of it, then there are thousands of photos out there that unfortunately are lost amongst the internet or never get shared with investigators.
However, there are some that do and these particular photos show many strange objects and lights that behave in a way that seemingly defy known physics.

Fleet Of UFOs Underwater Off Greece Coastline, Google Earth, UFO Sighting World News.
Fleet Of UFOs Underwater Off Greece Coastline, Google Earth, UFO Sighting World News.
Date of sighting: May 2020
Location of sighting: Greece
Coordinates: 40°27'2.58"N 22°51'46.24"E
There is a fleet of UFOs off the coast of Greece when you look using Google Earth Map. The smallest one is 80 meters across and the largest one is about 200 meters across according to Google ruler. The smallest one has a hump at its center which makes me think this looks like a classic disk.
I have heard of an alien base that was not far away from Greece. The base is 5km below the Rocca Pia, Italy castle. They call themselves the W56. There are many different alien species living there and they have contacted humans on many occasions. For instance the Friendship case spawned over three decades of meetings with the aliens. The base is huge and they said it extends far out under the ocean. These UFOs look like they belong to the W56.
Here is an interesting UFO I found in the NASA photo archives. The UFO is in earths orbit and its far from earth, but closer to the Apollo 11 module. It makes sense that aliens would want to watch such a historical mission as this one. I mean this is Apollo 11 mission which took three men to the moon. Not much in human history can compare to Buzz Aldrin taking that first step on the moon. Reading about it or watching it on video feels much less personal than being there at the moment it happened. Its understandable that aliens would be at this historical human event. Now the image details tells us a lot. The photo was taken with a world famous Hasselblad camera. The newest and highest tech at the time. So this object in the photo is not an anomaly or glitch the photo.
The unidentified flying object (UFO) was photographed over Palm Springs, California, prompting claims of analiencraft in the skies. According to self-described UFO expert Scott C Waring, the UFO may have come from the highly classified US Air Force base known as Area 51. Area 51 has been at the heart of many UFO stories and alien conspiracy theories, including the 1947 Roswell incident.
This is one of the prime areas that UFOs will be seen from Area S4
Scott Waring, ET Data Base
Mr Waring argued on his blog the UFO could be extraterrestrial in origin and is being used by the US military.
The UFO expert said: "Bob Lazar was a nuclear physicist who worked on one of eight alien disks in Area S4 said that pilots would often take the craft out for testing.
"This craft may well be an alien tech craft being tested out from Area 51."
Although Area 51 has been prime fodder for conspiracy theorists, there is no evidence the Air Force base is home to alien technology.

This UFO was seen over Palm Springs, California this week. The object was only seen for a few seconds. Its located on far southern California so its mostly rocky desert. This is one of the prime areas that UFOs will be seen from Area S4, which is inside Area 51. Bob Lazar was a nuclear physicist who worked on one of eight alien disks in Area S4 said that pilots would often take the craft out for testing. This craft may very well be an alien tech craft being tested out from Area 51.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon descends in Medellin, Colombia
On May 10, 2020 when Diego Franco looked out his window, he saw an unidentified aerial phenomenon that moved horizontally and subsequently descended in Itaguí, an area near Medellin, Colombia.
Diego took his cell phone and started recording the phenomenon until it was lost behind some trees, seconds before the recording ends, you can see how the object changed direction, as it was descending and then moved to the left before it was out of sight (video 1).
But when Diego Franco stopped recording, he noticed that another object with similar characteristics was coming, making almost the same route, on which he also recorded the second object. (video 2).

Flashing lights seen and filmed over Cheshire, UK 20-May-2020
In a relatively rare and unconventional sighting, a bizarrely shaped UFO was recorded by a UK family flying over their home. In the clear night sky, an oddly shaped object with lights flashing in an unknown but a predictable pattern was seen. If pattern of flashing lights is looked at and visualised clearly, two things can be predicted about the UFO. First, the size of the UFO can be determined by measuring the area and based on the video it can be surmised that the UFO had a vast expanse. Secondly, the blinking lights formed the patterns that were very similar to the constellations of stars out there in the space. Maybe the spaceship was showing locations in space with the images of different constellations. This kind of lighting pattern is not seen often in the history of UFOs.

Amazing UFO video from Minas Gerais, Brazil 22-May-2020
It seems like the alien invaders have expanded their search area from North America to South America. An unidentified object was seen flying through the sky in a city in Brazil. The person, who shot the video of the UFO was driving his car and suddenly he witnessed an outlandish object gliding past him in the sky and he paused to capture this strange event. As it can be seen in the video recording, an oval shaped object is visible gliding in the sky. There is also visible a streak of lights, four in number, flashing across the UFO body.
Initially the lights were not visible but as the sun started setting and it began getting dark, the UFO turned the lights on perhaps to navigate its way in the dark. This kind of UFO design with streaks of light circumambulating it is seen very rarely on planet earth.

Scientists have made a shocking discovery – the Earth's magnetic field is weakening.
The magnetic field is vital for life on our planet, as it shields us from cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted from the sun.
A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has been observed between Africa and South America, called the South Atlantic Anomaly, and it has formed a center of minimum intensity in just five years.
Researchers are speculating that the weakening is a sign that Earth is heading to a pole reversal, which is when the north and south poles switch places - and the last time this occurred was 780,000 years ago.
The anomaly is wreaking havoc on satellites and other spacecraft flying through the area, as many are experiencing technical malfunctions.
Scroll down for videos
A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has been observed between Africa and South America, called the South Atlantic Anomaly (blue), and it has formed a center of minimum intensity in just five years
The discovery was made by a team at the European Space Agency (ESA) who pulled data from the agency's Swarm constellation, which is a cluster of satellites.
The satellites are specifically designed to identify and measure the different magnetic signals that make up Earth's magnetic field, allow experts to spot areas that have weakened.
ESA has been studying the magnetic field since the end of 2013.
The mission is comprised of three identical satellites that provide high quality measurements of field in three different orbital planes.
The weakened field has been on the radar of experts for years - they know that it has lost nine percent of its intensity over the last 200 years. However, an even larger area of weakness has recently developed between Africa and South America
Jürgen Matzka, from the German Research Center for Geosciences, said: 'The new, eastern minimum of the South Atlantic Anomaly has appeared over the last decade and in recent years is developing vigorously.
'We are very lucky to have the Swarm satellites in orbit to investigate the development of the South Atlantic Anomaly.
'The challenge now is to understand the processes in Earth's core driving these changes.'
The weakened field has been on the radar of experts for years - they know that it has lost nine percent of its intensity over the last 200 years.
However, an even larger area of weakness has recently developed between Africa and South America.
ESA says this isn't a cause for alarm, adding that 'the intensity dip in the South Atlantic occurring now is well within what is considered normal levels of fluctuations.'
After analyzing data collected by Swarm, the team found that between 1970 and 2020, the strength in this region has depleted from around 24 000 nanoteslas to 22 000.
However, what is more puzzling is that is that the anomaly has grown and moved westward at a pace of around 12 mph.
In addition, the team found that in just the last five years a center of minimum intensity has formed southwest of Africa, suggesting the South Atlantic Anomaly could split into two separate cells.
The shift doesn't happen just overnight, but slowly occurs over the course of a few hundred or even thousand years.
And when this happens, multiple north and south magnetic poles pop up all around the Earth.
One theory for the weakened field is that the Earth may be heading into a pole reversal, which has happened in the past and the researchers say 'we are long overdue,' as it takes place 'roughly every 250,000 years.'
The last time the poles reversed was some 780,000 years ago and then the event nearly happened 40,000 years back.
If the poles are in the process of reversing it will happen over several thousand years, according to scientists, who say it's unlikely the field will disappear completely.
The biggest impact of a magnetic field reversal will be on birds, turtles and other creatures that use the field to navigate. North on a compass will also point to Antarctica rather than Canada.
According to the researchers, one of the reasons scientists don't know much about the magnetic history of the South Atlantic Anomaly region of Earth is because they don't have enough archeomagnetic data - physical evidence of magnetism in Earth's past, preserved in rocks.
A reversing magnetic field could lead problems for turtles, birds and the compass
The Earth's magnetic field regularly flips poles every few hundred thousand years.
The exact impact of this flip isn't known as it hasn't happened in 780,000 years, however geologists and astronomers do have some idea.
One of the biggest impacts will be on animals that use the magnetic field for navigation - such as turtles and birds.
North on the compass will also point to Antarctica rather than Canada.
In terms of the impact on human life - the biggest risk depends on how weak the field gets during its transition.
According to a NASA study there’s no evidence it will disappear completely as 'it never has before'.
However, there is a risk the field will weaken more than usual - it is variable already - during the change.
If it gets too weak more radiation will get to the Earth's surface and could cause cancers and other issues.
However, as it will happen over a few thousand years humanity will have time to prepare for any weakening magnetic field.
The only other notable impact of a weakening magnetic field would be auroras at lower latitudes.
However, the team is saying the anomaly is not a reason to sound the alarm, but satellites and spacecraft flying in the weakened area can experience technical malfunctions.
The speculation of a pole reversal has recently been spotted by researchers from the UK and Denmark.
The team found that the north pole has been moving closer to Siberia at a frantic pace due to two writhing lobes of magnetic force in the Earth's core, research has suggested.
It went from shifting nine miles at most to as much as 37 miles in a year from 1999 to 2005, suggests the study that was published this month.
The magnetic field is vital for life on our planet, as it shields us from cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted from the sun. The anomaly is wreaking havoc on satellites and other spacecraft flying through the area, as many are experiencing technical malfunctions
Lead researcher Phil Livermore, an associate professor of geophysics at the University of Leeds, said: 'We've never seen anything like this before.
'Our predictions are that the pole will continue to move towards Siberia, but forecasting the future is challenging and we cannot be sure,' he told Live Science.
The authors wrote: 'Over the last two decades the position of the north magnetic pole has been largely determined by two large-scale lobes of negative magnetic flux on the core–mantle boundary under Canada and Siberia.'
'The magnetic North Pole wandered slowly around northern Canada from 1590 to around 1990 and then accelerated over the past 20 years moving from around 10 km (6.2 miles) per year to over 50 km (31 miles) per year,' Ciaran Beggan of the British Geological Survey told MailOnline.
'In contrast, the south magnetic pole has barely moved much in the past 100 years as the flow of the outer core there is much more sedate.'
WHAT IS EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD AND HOW DOES IT PROTECT US?
Earth's magnetic field is a layer of electrical charge that surrounds our planet.
The field protects life on our planet because it deflects charged particles fired from the sun known as 'solar wind'.
Without this protective layer, these particles would likely strip away the Ozone layer, our only line of defence against harmful UV radiation.

Scientists believe the Earth's core is responsible for creating its magnetic field.
As molten iron in the Earth's outer core escapes it creates convection currents.
These currents generate electric currents which create the magnetic field in a natural process known as a geodynamo.
Earth’s Magnetic Field Weakening For Unexplained Reason, Reveals European Space Agency
Earth’s Magnetic Field Weakening For Unexplained Reason, Reveals European Space Agency
The Earth has a moderately strong magnetic field, which is generated by superheated liquid iron that makes up the outer core of our planet. The magnetic field is vital to life as it shields the Earth’s ozone layer from solar winds, cosmic rays, and harmful ultraviolet radiation.
The Earth’s magnetic field is weakening, the European Space Agency (ESA) said in a statement, citing data from its Swarm mission, a constellation of satellites that was launched in 2013. According to the ESA, over the last 200 years, the Earth’s magnetic has field has lost 9 percent of its strength.
In 1958, scientists discovered the South Atlantic Anomaly, an area that sits between Africa and South America where the magnetic field has been weakening considerably. According to the ESA’s latest study, this area has grown and moved westward at a pace of around 12 miles (20 km) per year and scientists cannot explain why.
Moreover, according to data provided by the Swarm mission, which studies our planet’s magnetic field, a second area with less strength has emerged in South Africa, which the ESA says could be a sign that the South Atlantic Anomaly "could split up into two separate cells".
"The new, eastern minimum of the South Atlantic Anomaly has appeared over the last decade and in recent years is developing vigorously", said Jürgen Matzka, from the German Research Centre for Geosciences. "We are very lucky to have the Swarm satellites in orbit to investigate the development of the South Atlantic Anomaly. The challenge now is to understand the processes in Earth’s core driving these changes", Matzka said
The space agency said one hypothesis that may explain the magnetic field’s bizarre behaviour is a reversal of the North and South Poles, a process during which the poles switch places. It has occurred many times throughout the planet’s history and the ESA says "we are long overdue by the average rate of roughly 250,000 years".
The ESA said that at the moment, the weakening of the magnetic field, which protects our planet from cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted by the Sun, poses no risk for humans. However, satellites and spacecraft that fly through an area with reduced field strength are more likely to experience technical malfunctions.
Magnetisch veld van de aarde verzwakt en niemand weet waarom. Wat is er aan de hand?
Magnetisch veld van de aarde verzwakt en niemand weet waarom. Wat is er aan de hand?
Het magnetisch veld van de aarde verzwakt, zo heeft de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA laten weten. Volgens de ESA is het aardmagnetisch veld in de afgelopen 200 jaar 9 procent zwakker geworden.
In 1958 ontdekten wetenschappers de Zuid-Atlantische Anomalie, een gebied tussen Afrika en Zuid-Amerika waar het magnetisch veld aanzienlijk verzwakt is.
Uit onderzoek van de ESA blijkt dat het gebied groter is geworden en met 20 kilometer per jaar naar het westen verschuift. Wetenschappers hebben hier geen verklaring voor.
Uitdaging
Er is daarnaast een tweede gebied gevonden boven Zuid-Afrika, wat er volgens het ruimteagentschap op kan duiden dat de Zuid-Atlantische Anomalie ‘in tweeën splitst’.
Het nieuwe deel is in het afgelopen decennium ontstaan en ontwikkelt zich snel, zei Jürgen Matzka van het Duitse onderzoekscentrum voor geowetenschappen. We staan nu voor de uitdaging om te achterhalen welke processen deze veranderingen veroorzaken, aldus Matzka.
Omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld
Een mogelijke verklaring is een omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld, waarbij de noord- en zuidpool van plek wisselen. Dat gebeurde 780.000 jaar geleden voor het laatst.
De ESA zei dat het verzwakken van het magnetisch veld op dit moment geen gevaar voor mensen vormt. Wel is het mogelijk dat satellieten en vliegtuigen die door een gebied vliegen waar het veld verzwakt is, minder goed functioneren.
Rare Black Triangle TR3B cruising at low altitude over London, UK
Rare Black Triangle TR3B cruising at low altitude over London, UK
It doesn't exist officially, but reports generally describe black triangle TR3B crafts as large, silent, black triangular objects hovering or slowly cruising at low altitudes over cities and highways. Sightings usually take place at night. These objects are often described as having pulsing colored lights that appear at each corner of the triangle.
Now, on the evening of May 23, 2020 Louis-Julian saw a strange large triangle craft which was certainly not a plane, helicopter or drone hovering at low altitude over London, UK, on which Louis-Julian decided to record the craft which has all the features of the black triangle TR3B.
What would have been the reason to fly this anti-gravity craft at such a low altitude over London.
