Dead Sea Scrolls "Puzzle" Pieced Together with DNA Extracted from Animal Skins on Which Scrolls Were Written
Dead Sea Scrolls "Puzzle" Pieced Together with DNA Extracted from Animal Skins on Which Scrolls Were Written
Ancient DNA extracted from Dead Sea Scrolls by Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers permits rare, unanticipated glimpse into world of Second Temple Judaism
Credit: TAU
An interdisciplinary team from Tel Aviv University, led by Prof. Oded Rechavi of TAU’s George S. Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, Prof. Noam Mizrahi of TAU’s Department of Biblical Studies, in collaboration with Prof. Mattias Jakobsson of Uppsala University in Sweden, the Israel Antiquities Authority and Prof. Christopher E. Mason of Weill Cornell Medicine, has successfully decoded ancient DNA extracted from the animal skins on which the Dead Sea Scrolls were written. By characterizing the genetic relationships between different scroll fragments, the researchers were able to discern important historical connections.
The research, conducted over seven years, was published as the cover story in the prestigious journal Cell on June 2 and sheds new light on the Dead Sea Scrolls.
“There are many scroll fragments that we don’t know how to connect, and if we connect wrong pieces together it can change dramatically the interpretation of any scroll. Assuming that fragments that are made from the same sheep belong to the same scroll,” explains Prof. Rechavi, “it is like piecing together parts of a puzzle.”
The Dead Sea Scrolls refers to some 25,000 fragments of leather and papyrus discovered beginning in 1947, mostly in the Qumran caves but also in other sites located in the Judean Desert.
Among other things, the scrolls contain the oldest copies of biblical texts. Since their discovery, scholars have faced the breathtaking challenge of classifying the fragments and piecing them together into the remains of some 1,000 manuscripts, which were hidden in the caves before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
Researchers have long been puzzled as to the degree this collection of manuscripts, a veritable library from the Qumran caves, reflects the broad cultural milieu of Second Temple Judaism, or whether it should be regarded as the work of a radical sect (identified by most as the Essenes) discovered by chance.
“Imagine that Israel is destroyed to the ground, and only one library survives — the library of an isolated, ‘extremist’ sect: What could we deduce, if anything, from this library about greater Israel?” Prof. Rechavi says. “To distinguish between scrolls particular to this sect and other scrolls reflecting a more widespread distribution, we sequenced ancient DNA extracted from the animal skins on which some of the manuscripts were inscribed. But sequencing, decoding and comparing 2,000-year old genomes is very challenging, especially since the manuscripts are extremely fragmented and only minimal samples could be obtained.”
Pnina Shor, founder of the Dead Sea Scrolls Unit at the Israel Antiquities Authority, adds, “The Israel Antiquities Authority is in charge of both preserving the scrolls for posterity and making them accessible to the public and to scholars. Recent scientific and technological advances enable us to minimize physical intervention on the scrolls, thus facilitating multidisciplinary collaborations.”
Innovative methods to solve historical mysteries
To tackle their daunting task, the researchers developed sophisticated methods to deduce information from tiny amounts of ancient DNA, carefully filtering out potential contaminations and statistically validating the findings. The team employed these mechanisms to deal with the challenge posed by the fact that genomes of individual animals of the same species (for instance, two sheep of the same herd) are almost identical to one another, and even genomes of different species (such as sheep and goats) are very similar.
For the purpose of the research, the Dead Sea Scrolls Unit of the Israel Antiquities Authority supplied samples — sometimes only scroll “dust” carefully removed from the uninscribed back of the fragments — and sent them for analysis by Prof. Rechavi’s team: Dr. Sarit Anava, Moran Neuhof, Dr. Hila Gingold and Or Sagi. To prevent DNA contamination, Dr. Anava traveled to Sweden to extract the DNA under the meticulous conditions required for ancient DNA analysis (e.g. wearing special full-body suits) in Prof. Jakobsson’s paleogenomics lab in Uppsala, which is equipped with cutting-edge equipment. In parallel to the teams that were studying the animals’ ancient DNA, Prof. Mason’s metagenomics lab in New York studied the scrolls’ microbial contaminants. Prof. Jakobsson says, “It is remarkable that we were able to retrieve enough authentic ancient DNA from some of these 2,000 year old fragments considering the tough history of the animal hides. They were processed into parchment, used in a rough environment, left for two millennia, and then finally handled by humans again when they were rediscovered.”
Textual pluralism opens window into culture of Second Temple Jewish society
According to Prof. Rechavi, one of the most significant findings was the identification of two very distinct Jeremiah fragments.
“Almost all the scrolls we sampled were found to be made of sheepskin, so most of the effort was invested in the very challenging task of trying to piece together fragments made from the skin of particular sheep, and to separate these from fragments written on skins of different sheep that also share an almost identical genome,” says Prof. Rechavi. “However, two samples were discovered to be made of cowhide, and these happen to belong to two different fragments taken from the Book of Jeremiah. In the past, one of the cow skin-made fragments was thought to belong to the same scroll as another fragment that we found to be made of sheepskin. The mismatch now officially disproves this theory.
“What’s more, cow husbandry requires grass and water, so it is very likely that cow hide was not processed in the desert but was brought to the Qumran caves from another place. This finding bears crucial significance, because the cowhide fragments came from two different copies of the Book of Jeremiah, reflecting different versions of the book, which stray from the biblical text as we know it today.”
Prof. Mizrahi further explains, “Since late antiquity, there has been almost complete uniformity of the biblical text. A Torah scroll in a synagogue in Kiev would be virtually identical to one in Sydney, down to the letter. By contrast, in Qumran we find in the very same cave different versions of the same book. But, in each case, one must ask: Is the textual ‘pluriformity,’ as we call it, yet another peculiar characteristic of the sectarian group whose writings were found in the Qumran caves? Or does it reflect a broader feature, shared by the rest of Jewish society of the period? The ancient DNA proves that two copies of Jeremiah, textually different from each other, were brought from outside the Judean Desert. This fact suggests that the concept of scriptural authority — emanating from the perception of biblical texts as a record of the Divine Word — was different in this period from that which dominated after the destruction of the Second Temple. In the formative age of classical Judaism and nascent Christianity, the polemic between Jewish sects and movements was focused on the ‘correct’ interpretation of the text, not its wording or exact linguistic form.”
Identification of genetically distinct groups of sheep suggests prominence of ancient Jewish mysticism
Another surprising finding relates to a non-biblical text, unknown to the world before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a liturgical composition known as the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, found in multiple copies in the Qumran caves and in Masada. Apparently, there is surprising similarity between this work and the literature of ancient Jewish mystics of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Both Songs and the mystical literature greatly expand on the visionary experience of the divine chariot-throne, developing the vision of the biblical prophet Ezekiel. But the Songs predates the later Jewish mystical literature by several centuries, and scholars have long debated whether the authors of the mystical literature were familiar with Songs.
“The Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice were probably a ‘best-seller’ in terms of the ancient world,” Prof. Mizrahi says. “The Dead Sea Scrolls contain 10 copies, which is more than the number of copies of some of the biblical books that were discovered. But again, one has to ask: Was the composition known only to the sectarian group whose writings were found in the Qumran caves, or was it well known outside those caves? Even after the Masada fragment was discovered, some scholars argued that it originated with refugees who fled to Masada from Qumran, carrying with them one of their scrolls. But the genetic analysis proves that the Masada fragment was written on the skin of different sheep ‘haplogroup’ than those used for scroll-making in Qumran. The most reasonable interpretation of this fact is that the Masada Scroll did not originate in the Qumran caves but was rather brought from another place. As such, it corroborates the possibility that the mystical tradition underlying the Songs continued to be transmitted in hidden channels even after the destruction of the Second Temple and through the Middle Ages.”
From solved riddles to new mysteries: Yet undiscovered caves?
Since most of the scrolls were found to be written on sheepskin, the team had to find a way to distinguish “in higher resolution” between the very similar genomes of different sheep.
“Mitochondrial DNA can tell us whether it is a sheep or a cow, but it can’t distinguish between individual sheep,” Prof. Rechavi adds. “We developed new experimental and informatic methods to examine the bits of preserved nuclear DNA, which disintegrated over two millennia in arid caves, and were contaminated in the course of 2,000 years, including recently by the people who handled the scrolls, often without even the use of gloves.”
Using these methods, it was discovered that all the sampled scroll-fragments written using a particular scribal system characteristic to the sectarian writings found in the Qumran caves (the “Qumran scribal practice”) are genetically linked and differ collectively from other scroll-fragments that were written in different ways and discovered in the very same caves. This finding affords a new and powerful tool for distinguishing between scrolls peculiar to the sect and scrolls that were brought from elsewhere, and potentially reflect the broader Jewish society of the period.
Shor says, “Such an interdisciplinary project is very important indeed. It advances Dead Sea Scrolls research into the 21st century, and may answer questions that scholars have been debating with for decades. We consider the present project, which integrates both extraction of genetic information from the scrolls using novel methods together with classical philological analysis, a very significant contribution to the study of the scrolls.”
The project examines not only scroll fragments but also other leather artifacts discovered at various sites throughout the Judean Desert. The genetic differences between them have allowed researchers to discern between different groups of findings.
According to Prof. Mizrahi, many scroll fragments were not found by archaeologists, but by shepherds, delivered to antiquity dealers, and only subsequently handed over to scholars.
“We don’t always know precisely where each fragment was discovered, and sometimes false information was given about this matter,” says Prof. Mizrahi. “Identifying the place of discovery is important, because it affects our understanding of the historical context of the findings. For this reason, we were excited to learn that one fragment, that was suspected to originate not from Qumran but rather from another site, indeed had a ‘genetic signature’ that was different from all the other scrolls found in the Qumran caves sampled for this research.”
But this finding led to yet another enigmatic discovery pertaining to a fragment containing a text from the Book of Isaiah. This fragment was published as a Qumran scroll, but its genetic signature also turned out to be different from other scrolls in Qumran.
Prof. Mizrahi concludes, “This raises a new curious question: Was this fragment really found in the Qumran caves? Or was it originally found in yet another, unidentified location? This is the nature of scientific research: We solve old puzzles, but then discover new mysteries.”

On Thursday May 21, 2020, Laughlin Air force jets from Del Rio, Texas, presented a flyby over our town earlier in the day around 4 pm. Later in the day I was on snap-chat social media where I tried looking for local videos of the jets. I went on snap map and tapped on the towns area, as I searched I found a video by someone unknown. I have no idea who uploaded this or the time uploaded. Just the date posted.
I share this UFO Sighting because I have personally sighted this UFO in my town before. I have also submitted the footage of my UFO sighting a while back. I can only assume the area of the UFO video as on snap-chat, a blue hot spot bubble was seen over a small neighborhood. I do not own the video I just found it. Only public accounts videos can be seen in such hot spot bubbles. I have attached a screen recording of the original UFO sighting. I also added two screenshots of the snap-chat map where the blue hot spot I mentioned can be seen. I also had circled the area where the blue hot spot appeared a few days prior. mufon cms# 109067 Eagle Pass Texas Region has had 5,959 Reported UFO Sightings to date.

This photo was of very irritating to me. I had to take the original photo and remove the false color that NASA puts on most photos of Mars. Then I sharpened photo. What I found was something I didn't want to find...a bullet. This tiny projectile is longer than most bullets but does appear to still be unused. I see the head of the bullet which looks like is make from a copper alloy. The lower part of the projectile is the the case which is quite long. The longer case means it could hold more gunpowder to propel the bullet further. The back part of the bullet has a square area which may have made each bullet manually loaded into the gun one at time, meaning the gun held only one shot at a time. It may be a sign of a great battle taking place long ago. A battle that very well may have destroyed mars itself. Scott C. Waring
This was caught two weeks ago over Moken, Illinois. A glowing object was seen moving across the sky at a low altitude. This type of UFO can easily be mistaken for a star if it doesn't move, but when it does move, it rare and exciting catch. This UFO has a mist around it as it moves. Probably a safety precaution in case it has to make a cloud to hide within fast. The UFO almost looks like a jellyfish with its semi transparent appearance and colors. The detail of the UFO is hard to make out in the video because the person used the camera to take the photos separately...and good thing they did. The photos give us high quality detail of the UFO. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
News states:
An apparent unidentified flying object was spotted in the sky over the Tara Hills subdivision in Mokena last Friday night. A Mokena man who lives in the subdivision captured a number of photos and a short video, shared below, of the phenomena while in the backyard with his wife and a few family friends just before 9:30 p.m. on May 15. "The light was seen traveling over our neighborhood in a west to east direction," the man, who didn't want to be named, said. "The light was quite bright and large with no indicators of it being an aircraft or drone," he said. "It did not have a red, green or white strobe. It was too low, large and bright to be a satellite or the International Space Station and would be much, much smaller if it was."
This is a great example of a UFO being caught during sunset. As I have said before, if you watch 10 sunsets, you will see 2 or more UFOs. For some reason the angle of the person, combined with the angle of the setting sun both intersect the UFO and cause the cloak to fail, allowing onlookers to see the UFO from a few seconds to a few minutes. Awesome catch and amazing. Notice that the enlarged screenshot with added darkness shows the incredible detail. The UFO is not solid, but creating puffs of clouds all around it to try to hide within. The UFO was caught making a cloud cloak.

Was that what happened to Daphne Denley last month as she marvelled at a picture-perfect Gloucestershire landscape? She claims to have photographed an unidentified flying object - UFO - as she snapped the setting sun. Daphne admitted the tale sounded "bonkers". She told the Adver's sister paper the Stroud News and Journal that she had been using her camera to photograph a stunning sunset over Rodborough, near Stroud, on May 17. When she looked at the images she spotted the unexplained object.

Date of sighting: June 1, 2020 Location of sighting: Earths orbit at space station Source: ISS Live Cams I was watching the live cams and noticed this strange tictac shaped UFO moving across the screen. It was followed by another smaller UFO. They moved at the same speed and they seemed to be watching the space station. Its clear that the astronauts on the space station are not the only ones doing research up there in earths orbit. The aliens see our whole species as a science project to be watched over and monitored carefully. Check out my video below of the object moving. Scott C. Waring
I went back to check on the black triangle UFO that I discoved almost a year ago and decided to record its activity for this week. I used four different filters on the SOHO camera and each filters has different detail, but each filter did record the UFO. Since there is four cameras that have recorded it at the same time, that means its an astronomical anomaly that is confirmed. Its a basic astronomy and SETI technique of getting confirmation from different views and positions.
Absolute proof that this is an alien structure, most likely an alien ship being used as a space station...but why on our suns low orbit? Perhaps they believe that humans are not intelligent enough to be able to detect them near the sun, but alien clearly underestimate our technological abilities to monitor them.
Upsweep is an unidentified sound detected on the American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's equatorial autonomous hydrophone arrays.
This sound was present when the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory began recording its sound surveillance system SOSUS in August, 1991. It consists of a long train of narrow-band upsweeping sounds of several seconds in duration each. The source level is high enough to be recorded throughout the Pacific.
Upsweep may have been tracked to an undersea South Pacific mountain that was not previously identified as a "live" volcano, although this is still unconfirmed.
Now, next to the alleged location where the mysterious sound came from is a huge underwater structure and while of course it can just be a rock formation, it just doesn't look natural.
Perhaps the mysterious sound came from this underwater structure hiding an extraterrestrial base at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean?

Ark of the Covenant Bombshell! Archaeological Discoveries Which Don't Match Current Academic Beliefs
COAST TO COAST AM – International explorer, archaeologist, and expert in ancient mysteries, Jonathan Gray, updated his work tracking the ongoing cover-up of archaeological discoveries which don’t match current academic beliefs. He also addressed prophecy and how the cycles of history dating back to the ancients will repeat.
Speaking of the Ark of the Covenant, he suggested it was not just a golden box that contained tablets with the Ten Commandments but it held spiritual secrets for everlasting life. According to Gray, the late archaeologist Ron Wyatt discovered the Ark in a Jerusalem cave and found a trickling black substance it.
It was analyzed, he continued, and declared to be human blood of someone who had no patriarchal lineage (which Gray noted fit the description of Jesus).
One of the questions that scientists have pondered since the beginning of time is when will the universe end? Many astronomers agree that this might happen some 2.8 to 22 billion years from now. The thing is that if the Universe is expanding (and it is), it means it was born from a much more compact state.
Like Rhode Island. And if it does have a beginning, it’s likely to come to an end too! But how exactly will it happen? By the way, does our Universe have an edge?
What happened before the Big Bang? How come we know next to nothing about dark matter and dark energy?
What if there are no black holes? Will we ever find the answers to the most intriguing questions about the Universe? Let’s talk about some cosmic mysteries that scientists still hope to solve.
Alien Craft Encounter Over Indian Point Reactor In New York
Alien Craft Encounter Over Indian Point Reactor In New York
JULY 24, 1984 ….INDIAN POINT REACTOR NEW YORK STATE
The threat of UFOs compromising reactor security, as if the nuclear industry didn’t have enough to deal with already, became a very real concern in 1984.
Although of- ficials won’t admit it, several researchers have information That New York’s Indian Point Reactor complex endured such a UFO problem during the long siege of sightings that happened throughout the state’s Hudson Valley area.
The portrayal of the event in this article is based primarily on the disclosures of unnamed sources.
The summer of 1984 was a troublesome season for authorities at the Indian Point nuclear reactor complex in Buchanan, New York.
Two UFO appearances, one of which was verified by Carl Patrick, director of nuclear information for the New York Power Authority (NYPA), and later documented by the press and the 1987 book Night Siege, apparently put the normally tight security of the plant to a severe test.
The first event entailed the brief flyover of a huge craft, witnessed by three security policemen on June 14.
That was followed ten days later by a UFO incident of unprecedented impact. It was one of hundreds of UFO sightings in the Hudson Valley, but one the nuclear workers won’t soon forget.
“Here comes that UFO again!” an Indian Point security guard is said to have yelled on the night of July 24, 1984, alerting other security personnel by way of the plant’s internal communications system.
A UFO, variously described as looking like “an ice cream cone” and “boomerang,” had lazily drifted over to Reactor #3-the only active reactor at the time-lingering about 300 feet above the domed construction for some ten minutes, sending security officials into an uproar.
Now, six years later, the principal UFO researcher on the case admits that many aspects of the event remain confusing and undisclosed. And although he’s still receiving information, Philip Imbrogno calls his own lengthy investigation “stagnant.”
“Every time new information comes up or I get a lead on something, I get very reluctant to deal with it again,” said Imbrogno, who heads the science department at the Windward School in White Plains, New York.
“The entire case has caused me quite a bit of pressure…
The event would indicate that whatever appeared over there, our state-of-the-art technology in defense was unable to deal with it.”
He suggests that from what his sources have said, a military aspect came into play. The Indian Point UFO represented an intolerable security breach. Military customers?
Imbrogno says that it is precisely that aspect which has had a lasting effect, and which has generated repercussions that continue to this day. But according to the New York Power Authority, which oversees the reactor complex, Indian Point itself has no direct military customers.
Reactor #3 primarily services local and state facilities in New York City and Westchester County, including local school districts, the New York City subway systems and some of New York’s trains.
Most importantly, in Imbrogno’s mind, are several military installations in and around Duchess County, which allegedly get their power from Indian Point.
According to his sources, these are primarily satellite receiving stations, and “a number of other military operations of which we can only guess,” Imbrogno says.
The official agency overseeing the reactor complex is the New York Power Authority, although Consolidated Edison has jurisdiction over Reactor #2 and is sold use of #3 for extensive transmissions to New York residential users and, perhaps, military facilities such as Camp Smith, an Air National Guard base located north of Peekskill. (Reactor #l is inactive.)
It was NYPA whose officials apparently spent considerable human energy trying to dissuade Imbrogno from writing about the July 24 event, concerned he would release information vital to the plant’s security.
“I think other agencies were using (the NYPA) to harass me,” he said, noting that he was constantly subjected to their repetitive phone calls, threatening that he would be forced to appear at a hearing on the incident.
(He was never subpoenaed, but Imbrogno subsequently, and perhaps coincidentally, was audited by the IRS four times.)
The compulsion to publish was undeniable; of what may have been as many as 70 UFO witnesses among Indian Point personnel, a number quietly sought out Imbrogno, and on the condition of anonymity provided him with the vital facts which led to the production of Night Siege (co-written with Bob Pratt and J. Allen Hynek.)
“My sources involve people who work in security for the plant and also people in secretarial and janitorial positions,” he said.
“The only problem is that getting anything on paper- documentation, something official-is very, very hard, I have unofficial confirmation right now that a number of documents pertaining to the sighting do exist at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.”
Normally, NRC records can be opened to the public under terms of the Freedom of Information Act, but when he in- quired, Imbrogno was informed that the documents were being held at the reactor complex, and as such were protected under national security regulations.
“It’s a joint sort of thing,” he said, “In other words, although the NRC is pretty open to the public, if they want to keep a document classified, they’ll store it with another agency. I have an inside secretarial source who’s actually seen the documents filed.”
The NYPA’s Patrick denies that any such documentation exists, and dismisses the incident by claiming that all Hudson Valley UFO sightings were later identified as light aircraft.
There was no videotape taken by on-site surveillance cameras, Patrick insists, or audio recording of oral communications, both pieces of evidence which Imbrogno strongly feels do exist and are being retained somewhere.
According to Imbrogno’s sources, a security shake-up ensued the very next day. “A number of agencies came in, including the NRC and military personnel, and they supposedly cleaned out everything. You have to remember that with nuclear reactors, you’re only going to get 10 percent of the real story.
They’re overly terrified of bad publicity, and are really afraid of the anti-nuclear groups, which can cause trouble. Anything that happens is immediately covered up, including UFO sightings.”
An ‘irregularity’
Imbrogno further alleges that shortly after the UFO infringement, a crack in the reactor’s casing was discovered. The public didn’t hear about such a situation until a year later; the NYPA’s Patrick denied any “crack,” although he did recall a time when Reactor #2 may have developed an “irregularity.”
Imbrogno says, “[Indian Point officials] made a public statement that operations were not affected, that everything was normal. But I’ve been told by several people that they lost power, the security system dropped, and the reactor controls went crazy. Apparently it was caused by the UFO.”
No way, says the NYPA.
“Any implication that the sightings of these [light aircraft] in any way affected Reactor #3 is false”, Patrick said. Imbrogno’s sources indicate otherwise. Supposedly, a mass of sophisticated, high-accuracy tracking equipment was installed at the complex, enabling security to quickly generate a computer image of whatever aircraft might be affecting the equipment.
Apparently such problems are still going on. Patrick would not comment on what kinds of security equipment protect Indian Point, but stressed that nothing new has been installed since the incident.
Imbrogno is also suspicious that the armed security forces at the site may have had reason to attempt firing on the craft, again an allegation flatly refuted by the NYPA.
“I know a number of helicopters with rocket launchers were sent up and followed the craft for some distance,” Imbrogno commented, citing his anonymous sources for the info.
“When these helicopters went on their way, the object moved off and started crossing the Hudson, and disappeared up north.”
Officials will not talk to Imbrogno, nor answer his letters, he says. UFO spoke with Cliff Spieler, vice president at the New York Power Authority. He, like Patrick, basically dismisses the entire affair.
“Having looked into this thing and living two miles from Indian Point, think the UFO reports are nonsense,” he said.
“All Hudson Valley UFO sightings] are linked to small planes flying out of Duchess County.”
At one time, officials speaking for Indian Point made their position quite clear to Imbrogno, “They said, ‘you can cooperate with us, or you don’t have to cooperate with us.
If you don’t cooperate with us, you have to face the consequences, because you are dealing in an area of national security. The incident that took place over there involved national security because it was a breach of security at a nuclear reactor.’ But they weren’t ready to say who was breaching security!”
In considering the “who,” Imbrogno took in a number of hypotheses, including the possibility that the incident was an elaborate test flight of a secret military craft, such as the B-2 Stealth bomber, or a covertly-planned contingency test of the plant’s security operations, carried out under the guise of a UFO overflight.
Nothing is impossible, he’ll admit. But the most tenable answer, he feels, is that the UFO was an extraterrestrial craft. “I don’t think our government could be so bold with a craft of the kind that appeared at Indian Point,” he said.
“Talking to these security people, and looking into their eyes,” his voice trailed,” . . . they tell a story of this one cop who got up on the roof below the UFO, and the thing started moving a little bit. He pulled out his gun, looked at it, then put the gun back in his holster and ducked!
The people who were telling these stories are not familiar with the UFO literature. If I really wanted to go into this, with no fear of what would happen to me, I’m sure there’s an incredible story here.
I am still being given information about certain things going on there-In the nighttime, people seeing little creatures coming through the walls of the casing on the reactor, and military personnel indicating ‘we’re aware of these creatures and we don’t care if they’re from outer space-shoot ’em!’
On a newscast on Channel 7 in New York, they were interviewing one guy, and he said, ‘I saw it going over the reactor! I think they’re sucking the power from it! That’s what they’re doing!’ But a civilization that has this type of vehicle- any intelligence, whatever it is-I’m sure doesn’t need nuclear energy.”
Editor’s Note: In a letter to UFO Magazine shortly after this article was written, Imbrogno added to his remarks.
“It is hard to believe that people like John Lear and Bill Cooper are revealing ‘top secret’ information with little or no repercussions.
I just poked my nose a little too deep into an area of national security and got my ears pinned back for it. My next step is to approach this in a legal way by asking for an investigation (preferably by a member of Congress) to find out how and why the security at this government reactor was violated and why information is being withheld.”

An analysis of more than 200,000 spiral galaxies has revealed unexpected links between spin directions of galaxies, and the structure formed by these links might suggest that the early universe could have been spinning, according to a Kansas State University study.
Lior Shamir, a K-State computational astronomer and computer scientist, presented the findings at the 236th American Astronomical Society meeting in June 2020. The findings are significant because the observations conflict with some previous assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe.
Since the time of Edwin Hubble, astronomers have believed that the universe is inflating with no particular direction and that the galaxies in it are distributed with no particular cosmological structure. But Shamir’s recent observations of geometrical patterns of more than 200,000 spiral galaxies suggest that the universe could have a defined structure and that the early universe could have been spinning. Patterns in the distribution of these galaxies suggest that spiral galaxies in different parts of the universe, separated by both space and time, are related through the directions toward which they spin, according to the study.
“Data science in astronomy has not just made astronomy research more cost-effective, but it also allows us to observe the universe in a completely different way,” said Shamir, also a K-State associate professor of computer science. “The geometrical pattern exhibited by the distribution of the spiral galaxies is clear, but can only be observed when analyzing a very large number of astronomical objects.”
A spiral galaxy is a unique astronomical object because its visual appearance depends on the observer’s perspective. For instance, a spiral galaxy that spins clockwise when observed from Earth, would seem to spin counterclockwise when the observer is located in the opposite side of that galaxy. If the universe is isotropic and has no particular structure — as previous astronomers have predicted — the number of galaxies that spin clockwise would be roughly equal to the number of galaxies that spin counterclockwise. Shamir used data from modern telescopes to show that this is not the case.
With traditional telescopes, counting galaxies in the universe is a daunting task. But modern robotic telescopes such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, or SDSS, and the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, or Pan-STARRS, are able to image many millions of galaxies automatically as they survey the sky. Machine vision can then sort millions of galaxies by their spin direction far faster than any person or group of people.
When comparing the number of galaxies with different spin directions, the number of galaxies that spin clockwise is not equal to the number of galaxies that spin counterclockwise. The difference is small, just over 2%, but with the high number of galaxies, there is a probability of less than 1 to 4 billion to have such asymmetry by chance, according to Shamir’s research.
The patterns span over more than 4 billion light-years, but the asymmetry in that range is not uniform. The study found that the asymmetry gets higher when the galaxies are more distant from Earth, which shows that the early universe was more consistent and less chaotic than the current universe.
But the patterns do not just show that the universe is not symmetric, but also that the asymmetry changes in different parts of the universe, and the differences exhibit a unique pattern of multipoles.
“If the universe has an axis, it is not a simple single axis like a merry-go-round,” Shamir said. “It is a complex alignment of multiple axes that also have a certain drift.”
The concept of cosmological multipoles is not new. Previous space-based observatories — such as the Cosmic Background Explorer, or COBE, satellite; the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, or WMAP mission; and the Planck observatory — showed that the cosmic microwave background, which is electromagnetic radiation from the very early universe, also exhibits multiple poles. But the measurement of the cosmic microwave background is sensitive to foreground contamination — such as the obstruction of the Milky Way — and cannot show how these poles changed over time. The asymmetry between spin directions of spiral galaxies is a measurement that is not sensitive to obstruction. What can obstruct galaxies spinning in one direction in a certain field will necessarily also obstruct galaxies spinning in the opposite way.
“There is no error or contamination that could exhibit itself through such unique, complex and consistent patterns,” Shamir said. “We have two different sky surveys showing the exact same patterns, even when the galaxies are completely different. There is no error that can lead to that. This is the universe that we live in. This is our home.”
FBI Whistleblower Shares UFO X-Files-Type Cases That Were Previously Off-Limits
FBI Whistleblower Shares UFO X-Files-Type Cases That Were Previously Off-Limits
COAST TO COAST AM –
John DeSouza shared details about X-files-type cases which were previously off-limits. DeSouza recently returned from speaking at conferences on ufology and consciousness held in China, where he said there is burgeoning interest and a new openness in the country around such topics. He characterized one FBI document as a “smoking gun,” in which an agent described an informant as a “supernormal” (possibly an ET). The informant said that alien visitors come from other dimensions (rather than planets) and change their vibration to match our physical realm.
A media phenomenon, Coast to Coast AM deals with UFOs, strange occurrences, life after death, and other unexplained (and often inexplicable) phenomena.

Irish UFO Invasion! From The Heavens It Came – Did it Land in Ireland?
There have been many reports of UFOs throughout Ireland for centuries and on this occasion, one may have actually landed. The authorities were out in force in an attempt to find the mysterious object that had caused so much concern.
Hey everyone, I found a black dome structure on the moon today. The dome looks tinted and dark with nine small back circles on its outer edge and a bright white reflection on its top. In the video I compare the appearance of this dome with some rocky craters nearby so that you can see the detail and the difference. I did add a little contrast to it to make it stand out, and stand out it does. It seems obvious to me that NASA is going out of their way not to report such discoveries to the public. Its a shame really. This kind of news would really excite a lot of astronomers and cause them to awaken into a new reality. Much like Covid-19 did to the people in each country as it spread...because the public once believed that such a pandemic would be impossible...and yet, the human race has changed their perspective on that very fast. Thats how disclosure of intelligent aliens would be...but it would not kill people or frighten them as much. Scott C. Waring

Satellite detects Earth's magnetic field weakening - The South Atlantic Anomaly might be splitting in two!
Satellite detects Earth's magnetic field weakening - The South Atlantic Anomaly might be splitting in two!
The Earth's magnetic fields, upon which the planet depends to defend itself from solar flares, appear to be weakening. Astrophysicist Juan Soler joins Rick Sanchez to discuss the troubling news in the following video.
New data from Europe's Swarm satellites show something strange is afoot in Earth's magnetic field. The South Atlantic Anomaly might be splitting in two. "A new, eastern minimum of the South Atlantic Anomaly has appeared over the last decade," says Jürgen Matzka, from the German Research Center for Geosciences. "In recent years it has been developing vigorously."
The South Atlantic Anomaly is a weak spot in Earth's magnetic field centered roughly on the Atlantic side of South America. Discovered in 1958, it has been growing and shifting for decades. The latest data from Swarm show a new weak spot forming just off the southern tip of Africa.
"We are very lucky to have the Swarm satellites in orbit to investigate this development," says Matzka.
According to spaceweather, launched in November 2013, Swarm is a constellation of 3 identical satellites flying in formation around Earth. They are equipped with magnetometers, star trackers and other instruments, which allow the satellites to make exquisitely detailed 3D measurements of Earth's magnetic field. The possible splitting of the Anomaly is just one of the mission's many significant findings.
Researchers have long known that Earth's magnetic field is weakening. Over the last 200 years, the globally averaged magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength, with the South Atlantic Anomaly leading the way. From 1970 to 2020, the minimum.
As the South Atlantic Anomaly has weakened, the inner Van Allen Belt has spilled into it, allowing energetic particles (especially protons) to get within 200 km of Earth's surface. This poses little threat to people on the ground, but spacecraft aren't so lucky.
When satellites fly through the Anomaly, they are exposed to relatively strong radiation. Onboard computers may reboot and digital cameras can be fogged by streaks of charged particles flying through them. The ISS has extra shielding to deal with this problem, and the Hubble Space Telescope doesn't even bother to make observations when it is inside the Anomaly.
If the South Atlantic Anomaly eventually splits into two cells, satellite mission planners will have to contend with a new zone of high radiation. The splitting is more than just a nuisance, however. It could offer clues to the origin of the Anomaly itself. Earth's magnetic field is created by currents of superheated liquid iron swirling ~3000 km beneath our feet. Changes "up here" can tell researchers what's going on "down there."
2 triangle-shaped UFOs over Rio Rancho, New Mexico
2 triangle-shaped UFOs over Rio Rancho, New Mexico
The sightings of oddly shapes objects floating in the skies is ever increasing. In a yet another sighting recorded from New Mexico, two strips of triangularly organised lights was seen flying across the skies in the twilight hours. All the lights seemed to form a part of the same big single spaceship (UFO) as all tue lights moved in perfect synchronicity. The front and the rear streak of lights each consisted of 4 different light sources arranged in such a pattern as to form an arrow end. Some viewers surmised that the object could have been an air plane but no known air plane on earth features the triangularly oriented lighting designs and plus the object was too close to the surface and emitting too low sound to be successfully considered an aircraft. The UFO, as can be seen in the video, was travelling toward the direction of tue desert, maybe it was trying to locate a safe position to land for spending the night, and what can be better than a secluded desert dune in the prodigious darkness of the moonless night.

SpaceX Demo-2 Crew Opens Hatch & Enters Space Station! - Great Video
NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley opened the SpaceX Crew Dragon ‘Endeavour’ hatch at 1:02 pm EDT on May 31, 2020 and entered the International Space Station a short time later. They also spoke to NASA administrator in a media event a few minutes after arriving. — SpaceX’s 1st Crew Dragon with astronauts docks at space station in historic rendezvous:
Imagine being part of something as spectacular as this. The people working at NASA and SpaceX must be really proud!
I was so anxious yesterday watching them take off. I felt like a 16 year old who didn’t come home from a night of partying. Omg thank the Lord they made it safely. It was like that’s my husband and child… Smh I don’t even know these men.
Poor Doug bounced his forehead right off the door frame entering into the space station.
