Coal-Burning in Siberia Caused Earth's Greatest Extinction by Catastrophic Global Warming after 2 Million Year Volcanic Eruption
Coal-Burning in Siberia Caused Earth's Greatest Extinction by Catastrophic Global Warming after 2 Million Year Volcanic Eruption
A team of researchers led by Arizona State University School of Earth and Space Exploration Professor Lindy Elkins-Tanton has provided the first ever direct evidence that extensive coal burning in Siberia is a cause of the Permo-Triassic Extinction, the Earth’s most severe extinction event. The results of their study have been recently published in the journal Geology.
For this study, the international team led by Elkins-Tanton focused on the volcaniclastic rocks of the Siberian Traps, a region of volcanic rock in Russia. The massive eruptive event that formed the traps is one of the largest known volcanic events in the last 500 million years. The eruptions continued for roughly 2 million years and spanned the Permian-Triassic boundary. Today, the area is covered by about 3 million square miles of basaltic rock.

This is ideal ground for researchers seeking an understanding of the Permo-Triassic extinction event, which affected all life on Earth approximately 252 million years ago. During this event, up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species became extinct.
Calculations of sea water temperature indicate that at the peak of the extinction, the Earth underwent lethally hot global warming, in which equatorial ocean temperatures exceeded 104 degrees Fahrenheit. It took millions of years for ecosystems to be re-established and for species to recover.
Among the possible causes of this extinction event, and one of the most long-hypothesized, is that massive burning coal led to catastrophic global warming, which in turn was devastating to life. To search for evidence to support this hypothesis, Elkins-Tanton and her team began looking at the Siberian Traps region, where it was known that the magmas and lavas from volcanic events burned a combination of vegetation and coal.
While samples of volcaniclastics in the region were initially difficult to find, the team eventually discovered a scientific paper describing outcrops near the Angara River.
“We found towering river cliffs of nothing but volcaniclastics, lining the river for hundreds of miles. It was geologically astounding,” Elkins-Tanton said.
Coal and charcoal pieces in the volcanic rocks of the Siberian flood basalts (A&B). In northern Siberia, coal was sometimes liquefied by the heat of lava, and squeezed like toothpaste into cracks, solidifying lava (C). In both northern and southern Siberia, the team found lava filled with pieces of baked hydrocarbons, like raisins in a cake (D).

Over six years, the team repeatedly returned to Siberia for field work. They flew to remote towns and were dropped by helicopter either to float down rivers collecting rocks, or to hike across the forests. They ultimately collected over 1,000 pounds of samples, which were shared with a team of 30 scientists from eight different countries.
As the samples were analyzed, the team began seeing strange fragments in the volcaniclastics that seemed like burnt wood, and in some cases, burnt coal. Further field work turned up even more sites with charcoal, coal, and even some sticky organic-rich blobs in the rocks.
Elkins-Tanton then collaborated with fellow researcher and co-author Steve Grasby of the Geological Survey of Canada, who had previously found microscopic remains of burnt coal on a Canadian arctic island. Those remains dated to the end-Permian and were thought to have wafted to Canada from Siberia as coal burned in Siberia. Grasby found that the Siberian Traps samples collected by Elkins-Tanton had the same evidence of burnt coal.
“Our study shows that Siberian Traps magmas intruded into and incorporated coal and organic material,” Elkins-Tanton said. “That gives us direct evidence that the magmas also combusted large quantities of coal and organic matter during eruption.”
And the changes at the end-Permian extinction bear remarkable parallels to what is happening on Earth today, including burning hydrocarbons and coal, acid rain from sulfur and even ozone-destroying halocarbons.
“Seeing these similarities gives us extra impetus to take action now, and also to further understand how the Earth responds to changes like these in the longer term,” Elkins-Tanton said.
Additional study co-authors include Benjamin Black of City College of New York, Roman Veselovskiy of the Institute of Physics of the Earth (Russia), Omid Haeri Ardakani of the Geological Survey of Canada, and Fariborz Goodarzi of FG & Partners Ltd.

If there is, it’s obvious that an advanced “race”, doesn’t want anything to do with we “surface” people. Proably, think we are worthless & violent, never realizing that its’ our masters that are the worthless violent types. Most of us just want to “get along” with all. Our “surface” race will never advance as long as we have the “1%” making all our decisions. GF
“Structure” doesn’t have to mean “man made”. Crystals are structures, structures can be natural too.
This newly discovered phenomenon is called magnetoreception, and it refers to the ability to perceive magnetic fields. Several animals use it to find their way over long distances by aligning themselves with the Earth’s magnetic field. Sea turtles. honeybees, spiny lobsters, dolphins, migratory birds, and more all have a magnetic compass which allows them to use the information that’s coded into magnetic fields.
We know little beyond that, however. How they use them, how they sense them, and what information they are getting from them remains up for speculation. For all we know, these magnetic fields could be used for much more than navigation for certain species.
According to Joe Kirschvink, the geophysicist at the California Institute of Technology who is currently testing humans for a magnetic sense, “it’s part of our evolutionary history. Magnetoreception may be the primal sense.” (source)
A recent study published by Kirschvink in the journal Nature Communications suggests that a protein in the human retina, when placed into fruit flies, has the ability to detect magnetic fields. The research claims that it can serve as a magneto sensor, but whether or not humans actually use it in this way is unknown.
“It poses the question, ‘maybe we should rethink about this sixth sense,’” University of Massachusetts Medical School researcher Steven Reppert told LiveScience. “It is thought to be very important for how animals migrate. Perhaps this protein is also fulfilling an important function for sensing magnetic fields in humans.”
In one of Kirschvink’s recent experiments, a rotating magnetic field was passed through study participants while their brainwaves were measured. He discovered that when the magnetic field was rotated counterclockwise, certain neutrons responded to this change which, in turn, generated a spike in electrical activity. This suggests a possible magnetic sense in humans.
Yet multiple questions still remain. For example, was this neural activity evidence of a magnetic sense or something else? Even if the human brain responds to these fields in some way, that doesn’t mean that information is being processed by the brain. There is still the question of what mechanisms are in place within the brain or body that receive these signals. If the body does indeed have magneto receptors, where are they? The next step for researchers is to identify them.
Kirschvink’s study is one of many publications delving into the mysteries of magnetic fields and what impact they have on human beings. The leaders in this area of research will most likely be found at the HeartMath institute. An internationally recognized nonprofit research and education organization dedicated to helping people reduce stress, self-regulate emotions, and build energy and resilience for healthy, happy lives, HeartMath tools, technology, and training teach people to rely on the intelligence of their hearts in concert with that of their minds at home, school, work, and play.
Researchers at HeartMath have begun what’s called The Global Coherence Initiative (GCI), an international cooperative effort to help activate the heart of humanity and facilitate a shift in global consciousness. It aims primarily to invite people to participate by actively adding more heart-coherent love, care, and compassion into the planetary field. The second focus is scientific research into how we are all energetically connected with each other and the planet, and how we can utilize this interconnectivity to raise our personal vibration and thereby help create a better world.
The hypotheses of the researchers and scientists behind this project are as follows:
The Earth’s magnetic field is a carrier of biologically relevant information that connects all living systems.
Every person affects this global information field.
Collective human consciousness affects the global information field. Therefore, large numbers of people creating heart-centered states of care, love and compassion will generate a more coherent field environment that can benefit others and help offset the current planetary discord and incoherence.
There is a feedback loop between human beings and Earth’s energetic/magnetic systems
The Earth has several sources of magnetic fields that affect us all. Two of them are the geomagnetic field that emanates from the core of the Earth and the fields that exist between Earth and the ionosphere. These fields surround the entire planet and act as protective shields blocking out the harmful effects of solar radiation, cosmic rays, sand, and other forms of space weather. Without these fields, ice as we know it could not exist on Earth. They are part of the dynamic ecosystem of our planet.
Other Evidence That Humans Can Sense These Fields
These energetic fields are known to scientists, and the notion that solar activity and the rhythms taking place on Earth’s magnetic fields have an impact on health and behavior has been firmly established in the scientific literature. (source)(source)
Scientific literature is also clear on the fact that several physiological rhythms and global collective behaviors are not only synchronized with solar and geomagnetic activity but also that disruptions in these fields can create adverse effects on human health and behavior
When the Earth’s magnetic field environment is distributed it can cause sleep problems, mental confusion, usual lack of energy or a feeling of being on edge or overwhelmed for no apparent reason. At other times, when the Earth’s fields are stable and certain measures of solar activity are increased, people report increased positive feelings and more creativity and inspiration. This is likely due to a coupling between the human brain, cardiovascular and nervous system with resonating geomagnetic frequencies. (source)(source)(source)
The Earth and ionosphere generate frequencies that range from 0.01 hertz to 300 hertz, some of which are in the exact same frequency range as the one happening in our brain, cardiovascular system, and autonomic nervous system. This offers one way to explain how fluctuations in the Earth’s and Sun’s magnetic fields can influence us. Changes in these fields have also been shown to affect our brainwaves, heart rhythms, memory, athletics performance, and overall health.
Changes in the Earth’s fields from extreme solar activity have been linked to some of humanity’s greatest creations of art, as well as some of its most tragic events. (source)
We know how these fields affect us, but what about how we affect these fields? That’s the real question here. GCI scientists believe that because brain wave and heart rhythm frequencies overlap the Earth’s field resonance, we are not just receivers of biologically relevant information, but also senders of it. We feed information into the global field, thus creating a feedback loop with the Earth’s magnetic fields.
Human emotions and consciousness interact with and encode information into the geomagnetic field and this information is distributed globally. . . . We are suggesting in essence that this encoded information is communicated nonlocally between people at a subconscious level, in effect linking all living systems. Magnetic fields act as carrier waves for this information, which can influence all living systems – positively or negatively – within the field environment as well as our collective consciousness.
If we look at the heart, for example, it emits electromagnetic fields which change according to our emotions, and these can actually be measured up to several feet away from the human body.
These fields have been shown to affect not only ourselves but those around us. You can read more about that here.
This research on this topic, which is still in its infancy, has immense ramifications for our world. It will further prove and highlight the great extent to which our attitudes, emotions, and intentions matter, and that these factors within the realm of non-material science can affect all life on Earth. The coherent, cooperative intention could impact global events and improve the quality of life on Earth. Practicing love, gratitude, and appreciation, as well as bettering ourselves as individuals, are some of the many crucial action steps towards changing our planet for the better.

Black Shiny UFOs Flutter Around Over Home At Isle If Wright, England June 2020, Video,UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: June 2020 Location of sighting: Isle of Wright, England This young woman was keeping an eye out when she noticed several black metallic object in the sky shooting about. We were fortunate enough to get a clear video of the UFOs and they move around similar to cloud orbs. Very amazing video and since its from the island of Isle of Wright, I am convince that these UFOs came from an underwater alien base somewhere not far away. Its not one, but many of the objects, each flying at a different speed. Those certainly are not RC drones, because we can see them flipping in circles as they move...they are actually rotating as they move forward....not looping, but in a straight line spinning. It looks like they make make 1 spin every 2-3 seconds. Very baffling. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan

Date of sighting: June 18, 2020 Location of sighting: Taiwan Here is a fantastic UFO video from my home in Taiwan. I wish I had seen this but it must have been down south a way. The object looks like a single wing UFO curved but long. It moves around easily in the wind and then moves away into the distance. The object never seems to come down, but only moves off. The UFO never falls at all, so we know its not a parachute or paraglider. Wow, just amazing raw footage. I have to admit...I have only ever seen a few cases single wing UFOs. Very unique and rare.

These three UFOs were trying to appear as meteors falling from space this week. They each fell within 90 minute period facing North West between 4:40 am until 6:08 am. Its not often a small fleet of ships come in, but this video shows us the proof that it happened.
The things that make me believe its not meteors:
1. They have too small of tails.
2. They have too small of glow.
3. They are all falling in the same direction.
4. They fell within a close time range of each other.
Absolutely amazing video and defiantly proof that Puerto Rico has an alien base 5-6km below the city of Cabo Rojo.

Google Coordinates: 42°26'35.27"N 76°30'48.70"W Imagine walking down the sidewalk at night in New York state staring at the river, then turning to the right and seeing the ominous alien face staring back at you. Well the face is situated below a bridge and is way back in the far end making it difficult to see anything but a face. Now at first I thought it was graffiti art, but I didn't see a lot of such art around, but there is some nearby. I also didn't see a wall it was on...because it looks like there is a hollow cavity area where its at. So I do believe this is a real alien watching passerby. Aliens in New York...we knew that already! Scott C. Waring
Researchers in Europe have now confirmed the universality of free fall – which Einstein called his most fortunate thought – with extremely high precision. To do it, they spent 8 years tracking a triple star system containing a millisecond pulsar.
Artist’s concept of the system known as PSR J0337+1715. It’s triple system, consisting of a millisecond pulsar with 2 white dwarf companions. The green mesh illustrates the curvature of space-time caused by the different masses of these 3 stars. Size and distances of the 3 components are not to scale.
It’s part of science legend that Galileo dropped objects of different masses from Italy’s Leaning Tower of Pisa in order to contradict the long-held notion that heavier and lighter objects fall at different rates. In fact, all objects – irrespective of mass – fall at the same rate in a vacuum. This is called the universality of free fall, confirmed since then both on Earth and in space. Einstein himself called the universality of free fall his “most fortunate thought” since it led him eventually to the general theory of relativity. Now researchers in Europe have confirmed this fact of nature again, with extremely high precision, by tracking the motion of a triple star system containing a millisecond pulsar.
The findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal Astronomy & Astrophysics on June 10, 2020. A statement from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn, Germany, whose researchers participated in the study, said:
[The] findings – achieved by a new rigorous method and a combination of radio telescope data with latest insight from gravitational wave detectors – provide the strongest test ever of one of the most fundamental predictions of general relativity: that gravity attracts all objects with the same acceleration, without regard for their composition, density or the strength of their own gravitational field.
The pulsar in the system they studied – a highly compact neutron star – is called PSR J0337+1715. It orbits in a triple system with two white dwarfs, objects less compact than a neutron star, but more compact than our sun.
As described by general relativity theory, very compact objects like neutron stars curve spacetime many trillion times more strongly than planets or than our sun. These scientists said:
Perhaps more than any previous test, this result indicates that general relativity, based on the simplicity of Einstein’s most fortunate thought, really captures something fundamental about nature.
How can we understand what these scientists studied? Consider the universality of free fall in our own Earth/moon system – in the video below – which shows what’s sometimes called the Apollo 15 Hammer Feather Drop. The video shows that, on an airless world like the moon, a hammer and a feather fall at the same rate.
Much as in the video above, the new work is about a test of the universality of free fall. The scientists’ statement explained:
Pulsar PSR J0337+1715, located in the constellation Taurus, is a neutron star of 1.44 solar masses, showing regular radio pulses as it rotates 366 times per second around its own axis. It is a member of an unusual triple star system, in mutual interaction with two other stars, both of which are white dwarfs. A white dwarf is already quite exotic – a star typically the size of the Earth with a density of many hundred kilograms per cubic centimeter at its center. Compared to white dwarfs, a neutron star is truly extreme, having more mass than the sun squashed into a radius of just 12 kilometers [7 1/2 miles] and by this reaching densities of more than a billion tons within the volume of a sugar cube.
A research team, led by Guillaume Voisin (Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics/UK and Observatoire de Paris), including MPIfR astronomers Paulo Freire,Norbert Wex and Michael Kramer, and astronomers from several institutions in France, used the Nançay radio telescope, located in the Sologne region of France, to precisely measure the arrival times of the radio pulses from PSR J0337+1715 over a time interval of eight years. They can show that neutron stars and white dwarf stars fall with the same acceleration within two parts per million.
What does it mean that the neutron star and white dwarf stars fall with the same acceleration? What does falling have to do with the orbits of objects in this triple system? In fact, you can look at objects in orbit around one another as being in a state of free fall. The object with less mass is falling toward the object with more mass. However, if the less massive object has enough tangential velocity – enough speed – it won’t fall into the other body. Instead, it’ll follow a curved path around the other body. The less massive object is then said to be orbiting the more massive one. To understand more about orbits, try this post on Newton’s cannonball.
Artist’s concept of 2 bodies orbiting a common center of gravity (red cross). You can consider the less massive body as “falling” toward the more massive one. It never reaches the more massive body, though, because it’s moving too fast.
What these scientists showed – to a high degree of precision – was that the orbits of the objects in the pulsar/white dwarf triple system are all “falling” at the same rate, as they pursue their mutual orbit. Since the pulsar is more massive than the white dwarf stars, this result confirms the universality of free fall: it shows that objects of different masses fall at the same rate. Guillaume Voisin commented:
Confirming it to this precision constitutes one of the most stringent tests of Einstein’s theory ever made – and the theory passes the test with flying colors. Moreover, the results also provide very stringent constraints on alternative theories of gravity, which compete with Einstein’s general relativity to explain gravity and, for example, dark energy.
Einstein’s Most Fortunate Thought
The scientists’ statement explained:
After the 1905 publication of the special theory of relativity, Einstein started thinking about how to combine his new theory with gravity, since Newton’s law of gravity is incompatible with his new principle of relativity. In the fall of 1907, an idea came to his mind: that for someone in free fall it is as if gravity has been turned off, since due to the universality of free fall everything in his environment accelerates the same way.
This simple but profound insight led Einstein eventually to understand that gravity is a manifestation of curved space-time acting on all masses the same way, a concept which is at the heart of his general theory of relativity. He later described this sudden inspiration as ‘the most fortunate thought in my life.’
The scientists also pointed out that this triple system containing the pulsar PSR J0337+1715 illustrates something very profound. It shows that Einstein’s “ingenious insight” also applies to such extreme cosmic objects as neutron stars, which were discovered for the first time only 50 years after the publication of the general theory of relativity. Paulo Freire, another co-author from MPIfR, commented:
Perhaps more than any previous test, this result indicates that Einstein’s most fortunate thought really captures something fundamental about gravity and the inner workings of nature.
Bottom line: The universality of free fall describes the fact that objects of unequal mass fall at the same rate (in a vacuum). Einstein called the universality of free fall “my most fortunate thought.” Researchers in Europe have now confirmed this fact of nature with extremely high precision, using a triple star system containing the millisecond pulsar PSR J0337+1715.
SOLAR ORBITER WILL TAKE THE CLOSEST IMAGES OF THE SUN EVER CAPTURED
SOLAR ORBITER WILL TAKE THE CLOSEST IMAGES OF THE SUN EVER CAPTURED
The spacecraft just made its first close approach to the star.
On Monday, a spacecraft built to withstand the scorching heat of the Sun survived its first close encounter with the star.
The Solar Orbiter, the spacecraft carrying out a collaborative mission between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), made its first close approach to the Sun, getting as close as 48 million miles to the star's surface, which is around half the distance between the Sun and the Earth.
The spacecraft launched on February 9, 2020 with the Sun as its destination, getting up close and personal with our host star in order to resolve some of the lingering mysteries regarding the Sun's magnetic field, solar storms and how the star affects its surrounding space environment.
The spacecraft is essentially flying outside the confines of the Solar System in order to peer down at the Sun, studying the star from a high altitude.
The Solar Orbiter will travel in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, completing one orbit every 168 days.
This week marked the spacecraft's first perihelion, the point in orbit closest to the Sun. Following its close approach, the team of engineers behind the Solar Orbiter will test out the spacecraft's ten science instruments for the first time since its launch.
Using the six telescopes onboard the Solar Orbiter, the team will be able to capture the closest images of the Sun ever.
“We have never taken pictures of the Sun from a closer distance than this,” Daniel Müller, ESA’s Solar Orbiter Project Scientist, said in a statement.
However, the images captured by the Solar Orbiter will be taken from space thereby showing parts of the solar spectrum that you cannot capture from Earth.
“For the first time, we will be able to put together the images from all our telescopes and see how they take complementary data of the various parts of the Sun including the surface, the outer atmosphere, or corona, and the wider heliosphere around it,” Müller said.
The images will be released to the public in mid-July.
Since the spacecraft is currently 134 million kilometers away from Earth, it will take about a week for the images to be downloaded before being processed by the team of scientists on the ground.

In addition to the telescopes, the Solar Orbiter also carries four in-situ instruments, which will measure solar wind, plasma, and other aspects of the environment around the spacecraft.
“For the in-situ instruments, this is not just a test, we are expecting new and exciting results," Yannis Zouganelis, ESA’s Solar Orbiter Deputy Project Scientist, said in a statement. “This is the first time that our in-situ instruments operate at such a close distance to the Sun, providing us with a unique insight into the structure and composition of the solar wind.”
The data from the in-situ instruments will be released to the public later this year.
The Solar Orbiter will make its second perihelion in early 2021. A year later, the mission will officially commence its science phase with its first close approach scheduled for early 2022, where the spacecraft will be as close as 26 million miles to the Sun's surface (getting closer to the Sun than the Solar System's innermost planet, Mercury).
Temperatures at that distance can reach some 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit — 13 times what any satellite in Earth orbit could experience. In order to make its mission possible, scientists developed a special black coating for the orbiter that will help it stand the heat:

NASA's Parker Solar Probe will get even closer to the Sun, a record-breaking distance of around 4 million miles from the Sun's surface. The spacecraft launched in 2018, and will reach its closest approach by June, 2025. But alas, the spacecraft does not carry telescopes that are capable of capturing close-up images of the star.
During its fifth solar encounter, the spacecraft will swoop by Venus.

The solar duo will work together to try and enhance scientists' understanding of our host star.
The world of the paranormal sometimes takes a steep turn off the edge of the weird, offering up new phenomena that do not have any real category. One of these must surely be a collection of accounts linked to a phenomenon I have only recently become aware of. It all revolves around tenuous, flickering beings that seem to be made purely of white noise or static, and which seem to pop into this reality to scare and confuse. Here we will look at a selection of reports of a truly new and difficult to categorize area of reports called the “Static Things” or “Static Humanoids.”
In many cases these otherworldly beings seem to be particularly witnessed by children, and according to the very little research I’ve found on these strange entities they seem to almost be drawn to the young. It is unclear if this is some quality of youth or just that kids are more suggestible and prone to imagining things, but it seems to sometimes manifest in fairly dramatic ways. One Reddit poster called “Weavedaddy69,” who seems to have delved into the phenomenon of static humanoids and has collected many of the known accounts, has this to say about this aspect:
They are most often seen by young children, usually from the ages of 3-8, or are seen in the proximity of children. One story I found is that of a mother who saw one of these beings watching her infant son in his crib. Another tells of a young boy who went missing in the woods for several days after he followed the “Fuzzy Man”. He was eventually found alive and in perfect condition despite having been in the woods for several days. This came as a surprise to everyone who found him. The precise nature of their relationship with children is still unclear, but it continues to appear in these cases.
Such cases seem to pervade the phenomenon as a whole, and another is from a Reddit poster called “namora2018,” who says this happened when she was 8 years old. She says that at the time she was in her own home, and sitting in a lounge at the end of a hallway. Although she doesn’t remember exactly what she had been doing in that lounge, she certainly remembers the strange experience she would have there. She says:
All of a sudden I had a really powerful urge to look at the end of the hallway. We had recently brought a coat stand from a bootsale and this was in the middle of the hallway now. As I stood there I saw a human outline but entirely filled with TV like static,i remember little bits of yellow and blue in it but was mainly white and it came out of the bedroom on the left and was in a running stance but it was really weird because it was in slow motion and it ran from the left to the back door on the right. As it ran it grabbed the coat stand and pulled it down with it and it fell to the floor. I was just standing there after in shock and soo scared. I ran to my sister and told her what happened and when we went back to the hallway the stand was still on the floor. That was the only time I saw it, I don’t know why I saw it or why it pulled the stand down it was all just surreal. I did have some other experiences in that house that were paranormal so maybe it was connected.
A similar case comes from a poster called “Joshiebear,” again happening in the confines of a home. In this case the witness, who was a kid at the time, remembers getting up one evening to get a glass of water, after which he went into his parents’ room. He doesn’t recall why he went into the room, but feels as if he might have been drawn there by something, and that is when he had an odd encounter. He says:
When I walked into their room (no door) I saw on the other side of their bed a huge humanoid shape that looked like it was made of static from a TV, except the white was purple, and kind of like when you rub your eyes through your eyelids. I immediately just laid down and went to sleep right there and woke up there in the morning. Don’t think I ever told anyone’s about it until years later. I was 3 or 4 so it’s possible my imagination just went nuts but it always stuck with me.
It seems that in some cases these encounters can become recurring, starting when the witness is very young, but continuing into later life. Reddit poster “Jellybeansidhe” is one such case, and explains that since a very young age he has had occasional episodes of seeing a “Visual Snow” in his field of vision, like a TV static overlaid over everything seen, and it is through this crackling veneer of white noise that he says humanoid shapes take form. These entities congeal out of the static, seemingly made of this visual snow, and, according to him, appeared “in corners, at the edge of the bed, in windowsills, and “dancing” in fields.” This phenomenon haunted him throughout his childhood, but he always thought it was just poor vision and pareidolia. However, when in later years he had corrective eye surgery done the phenomenon did not go away, and neither did the entities. He says:
I was incredibly myopic and I have an astigmatism. However, last December I had prk- a laser eye surgery, and the static never went away. Because it’s always been there, if I’m not focused on it I can sort of tune out the static (like a white noise) and that’s how I usually go about the day to day. When I was a kid I always told myself it was just my imagination, but laying in my bed at night it was hard to believe it was all in my head.
Now, in the past four years, I’ve stopped trying to ignore them. I don’t avidly seek them out, but I must admit that there is something magnetic about them. I’m not sure if I’m making any sense; the whole situation is difficult to describe. First, comes the anxiety. Then I see them, and then something just clicks. It could just be depersonalization or derealization, but it’s all so very surreal. I try to draw features when I can, but the more I focus on them the more their features seem to shift without moving.
I used to think they were aliens. I was always terrified of aliens. Then I thought they were the “Good Folk”. Now I believe that it’s all the same. To me it doesn’t really matter if they’re a figment of my mind, or an actual entity (aliens or fairies or ghosts or whatever). Regardless of the nature of their existence – I see them. Others see them. So something, somehow- some way, must be there.
In a few cases these static entities do appear to adults, and in another report we have a witness in Mexico who goes by the user name “Rakzo5532.” He tells of his encounter with what he calls a “static man” as follows:
I don’t speak English very well so I hope you can understand if I misspell, i try to tell you my experience with a “static man”, but first to but first to enter in context, I am from Mexico more specifically in a in a city called Córdoba in the state of Veracruz, I living in a small house, in my room I have a television I have a television from the mid 90’s which does not work, with that said I will start with my experience: this happened to me two weeks ago while it was already dark, at approximately twelve or one in the morning, I was asleep when I wake up from a feeling of too much terror, feeling like someone is looking at me I see in my room, looking if something is in my room, when I started to see as a human being made of statics, I don’t know if leaving my television or entering this, I fear to get out of bed and go to the door of my room where I keep a weapon to defend myself in case of an intruder in my house, meanwhile I see this thing disappear in a very strange way, like it’s out like smoke. I go to my bed trying to analyze what happened and try to sleep, and this is all my experience with static creatures.
What could these entities possibly be? The Reddit researcher of this phenomenon, “Weavedaddy,” suggests that, other than their tendency to gravitate towards the young, there are other commonalities between many of these cases, which might serve to somehow shed some light on what is a very bizarre area of the paranormal. He explains of some of his observations:
They always manifest as humanoid. Every story I’ve heard always describes them as humanoid. They may have exaggerated features, such as elongated limbs or inhuman faces, but their overall form is always humanoid. What this signifies is still beyond me, but it is an element that always appears. They aren’t malicious. I haven’t yet come across a story of them attacking or harming anyone. They scare the shit out of people, and can appear very menacing, but they don’t appear to have any malicious intent. This points to another intriguing aspect that I am currently investigating. That they are intelligent.
What is going on here? What could such anomalous entities possible be, and what does it all mean? Is this related to hauntings, demons, or something altogether stranger? Could this be related to interdimensional phenomena, with these entities briefly pushing through the veil between realities? It is difficult to say, and it is certainly a rather new and unexplored section of the paranormal that will perhaps become clearer as time goes on.

Studie: Melkweg huisvest meer dan 30 actieve buitenaardse beschavingen
Studie: Melkweg huisvest meer dan 30 actieve buitenaardse beschavingen
Er kunnen meer dan 30 buitenaardse beschavingen zijn in ons sterrenstelsel, blijkt uit een studie. “Er zouden tenminste enkele tientallen actieve beschavingen in onze Melkweg moeten zijn, ervan uitgaande dat het op andere planeten ook 5 miljard jaar duurt voordat intelligent leven ontstaat,” zei Christopher Conselice van de Universiteit van Nottingham in een verklaring.
“Ons nieuwe onderzoek suggereert dat de zoektocht naar buitenaardse intelligente beschavingen niet alleen onthult hoe leven ontstaat, maar ons ook laat zien hoelang beschavingen blijven bestaan,” voegde Conselice toe.
17.000 lichtjaar
Volgens de onderzoekers zijn er op dit moment minstens 36 intelligente beschavingen in de Melkweg die geavanceerd genoeg zijn om radiosignalen te versturen. De dichtstbijzijnde planeet met zo’n intelligente beschaving zou zich op 17.000 lichtjaar van de aarde bevinden, als de beschavingen gelijkmatig zijn verdeeld.
Voor de studie gingen de onderzoekers terug naar de vergelijking van Drake, een wiskundige formule die in 1962 is bedacht door Frank Drake. De formule onderzoekt hoeveel planeten in ons sterrenstelsel geschikt zijn voor intelligent leven. In de formule ontbraken tot nu toe een aantal belangrijke waarden, waardoor de rekensom nooit opgelost kon worden. Die hebben de Britse wetenschappers – voor zover mogelijk – toegevoegd.
A employee at boat rental on yesterday saw a UFO shaped cloud passing over and took a great photo of it. As we all know, UFOs try to come down as low as possible and they create clouds around them to hide to accomplish this. This is an awesome UFO disk in this photo. Its got the huge disk with a massive lower center hump in it. Classic all the way. Sure aliens in California seems to make a lot of sense especially since Silicon Valley is the tech capital of the world. Yes, some aliens do help humanity. Yes, there are aliens working in Silicon Valley, CA. Yes, Holland River Marina is just 45 miles or 70 km from Silicon Valley. Case closed.

Lady Gaga: I've Always Liked To Shapeshift. Admits To Being An Alien, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of interview: Oct 5, 2018 Location of video: Hollywood, California, USA Now here is something I haven't seen before. Lady Gaga did an interview on the Late Show and she admitted by accident that she likes to SHAPESHIFT. Its a known fact that aliens live among us, most are not here to help as much as profit off the human race and create a luxury lifestyle for themselves. Lady Gaga may be one of them. The reptilian species is known to have a powerful technological cloaking device around their body that makes them appear human. But this cloak sometimes fails and for a few seconds shows the true species they are. Lady Gaga however accidentally admitted the truth...that she can shapeshift. Reptilians are known for choosing to be shapeshift into being beautiful women due to the men around them overlooking their extreme intelligent due to being blinded by the woman beauty. I think this is the case here. It looks like Lady Gaga is an alien and accidentally revealed it to the world in her on words on national TV. Don't take my word for it...watch the video...and take her word for it instead. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Mysterious UFO Fireball blazes across the night sky above Western Australia
Mysterious UFO Fireball blazes across the night sky above Western Australia
Scientists say the "jury is still out" about a mysterious green glow that traveled across the sky in the remote West Australian outback on June 14, 2020.
Night workers on remote sites from Cape Lambert to Hope Downs in the Pilbara saw the bright light just before 1:00am, and many captured it on video.
There were reports of sightings as far away as the Northern Territory and South Australia, according to Glen Nagle from the CSIRO-NASA tracking station in Canberra.
"It was really a spectacular observation, people have captured something very special here." Glen Nagle said.
Note:It looks like the object has a rectangular shape, suggesting that instead of a meteorite or space debris, it could have been an alien spacecraft.

Triangle UFO hovering above Tustin, California 15-Jun-2020
Really interesting footage of a triangle-shaped craft hovering above Tustin, a city located in Orange County, California. This was filmed on 15th June 2020.
Witness report:
IPhone video. Also, video through single lens binoculars. Observed for at least an hour. Appeared & disappeared. No Sound. Most Amazing event I have ever seen. My entire view of the world has changed. It’s too bad everyone just assumes you’re sitting around in a tinfoil hat lol. We witnessed something extraordinarily rare and seen with this much detail by only a few.
If humanity is ever going to settle down on Mars, we may need to become a little less human.
Crewed missions to Mars, which NASA wants to start flying in the 2030s, will be tough on astronauts, exposing them to high radiation loads, bone-wasting microgravity and other hazards for several years at a time. But these pioneers should still be able to make it back to Earth in relatively good nick, agency officials have said.
It might be a different story for those who choose not to come home, however. If we want to stay safe and healthy while living permanently on Mars, or any other world beyond our home planet, we may need to make some tweaks to our species' basic blueprint, experts say.
Genetic engineering and other advanced technologies "may need to come into play if people want to live and work and thrive, and establish their family, and stay on Mars," Kennda Lynch, an astrobiologist and geomicrobiologist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, said on May 12 during a webinar hosted by the New York Academy of Sciences called "Alienating Mars: Challenges of Space Colonization."
"That's when these kinds of technologies might be critical or necessary," she said.
Coming soon?
Genetic enhancement may not be restricted to the pages of sci-fi novels for much longer. For example, scientists have already inserted genes from tardigrades — tiny, adorable and famously tough animals that can survive the vacuum of space — into human cells in the laboratory. The engineered cells exhibited a greater resistance to radiation than their normal counterparts, said fellow webinar participant Christopher Mason, a geneticist at Weill Cornell Medicine, the medical school of Cornell University in New York City.
NASA and other space agencies already take measures to protect their astronauts physically, via spacecraft shielding, and pharmacologically via a variety of medicines. So, it's not a huge conceptual leap to consider protecting them genetically as well, provided that these measures are proven to be safe, Mason said.
"And are we maybe ethically bound to do so?" he said during the webinar. "I think if it's a long enough mission, you might have to do something, assuming it's safe, which we can't say yet."
Tardigrades and "extremophile" microbes, such as the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, "are a great, basically natural reservoir of amazing traits and talents in biology," added Mason, who has been studying the effects of long-term spaceflight on NASA astronaut Scott Kelly. (Kelly spent nearly a year aboard the International Space Station in 2015 and 2016.) "Maybe we use some of them."
Harnessing these traits might also someday allow astronauts to journey farther than Mars, out to some even more exotic and dangerous cosmic locales. For instance, a crewed journey to the Jupiter moon Europa, which harbors a huge ocean beneath its icy shell, is out of the question at the moment. In addition to being very cold, Europa lies in the heart of Jupiter's powerful radiation belts.
"If we ever get there, those are the cases where the human body would be almost completely fried by the amount of radiation," Mason said. "There, it would be certain death unless you did something, including every kind of shielding you could possibly provide."
Genetic engineering at least lets us consider the possibility of sending astronauts to Europa, which is widely regarded as one of the solar system's best bets to harbor alien life. (The Jovian satellite is a high priority for NASA's robotic program of planetary exploration. In the mid-2020s, the agency will launch a mission called Europa Clipper, which will assess the moon's habitability during dozens of flybys. And Congress has ordered NASA to develop a robotic Europa lander as well, though this remains a concept mission at the moment.
Genetic engineering almost certainly won't be restricted to pioneering astronauts and colonists. Recent advances in synthetic biology herald a future in which "designer microbes" help colonists establish a foothold on the Red Planet, Lynch said.
"These are some of the things that we can actually do to help us make things we need, help us make materials to build our habitats," she said. "And these are a lot of things that scientists are researching right now — to create these kinds of things for our trip to Mars."
Some researchers and exploration advocates have even suggested using designer microbes to terraform Mars, turning it into a world much more comfortable for humans. This possibility obviously raises big ethical questions, especially considering that Mars may have hosted life in the ancient past and might still host it today, in subsurface lakes or aquifers. (Permanently changing our own genomes for radiation protection or any other reason may also strike some folks as ethically dubious, of course.)
Most astrobiologists argue against terraforming Mars, stressing that we don't want to snuff out or fundamentally alter a native ecosystem that may have arisen on the Red Planet. That would be both unethical and unscientific, Lynch said.
After all, she said, one of the main reasons we're exploring Mars is to determine if Earth is the only world to host life.
"And how can we do that if we go and change the planet before we go and find out if life actually was living there?" Lynch said.
Day 19 on the moon is underway for Chang'4 and the Yutu 2 rover!

China's Chang'e 4 mission is back in action for its 19th lunar day of activity on the far side of the moon, with the Yutu 2 rover set to scope out a new crater.
Both the mission's lander and Yutu 2 rover have resumed science activities following sunrise over their location in Von Kármán crater on the far side of the moon.
Yutu 2 awoke on June 14 while the lander restarted its activities 13 hours later, on June 15, according to the China Lunar Exploration Program (CLEP).
The Yutu 2 rover had remained stationary during lunar day 18 (May 16-29), while teams back on Earth upgraded ground stations in preparation for the Tianwen-1 Mars mission, due to launch in late July or early August.
Upgrades to the tracking and command facilities at Jiamusi, northeast China, and Kashi in the northwest were completed June 13 according to CLEP, meaning normal roving service can now resume.

While the rover has been stationary, the Yutu 2 science team have identified a nearby crater for examination. The 4-foot-wide (1.3 meters), 8-inch-deep (20 centimeters) crater contains reflective material which may be similar in nature to suspected impact melt glass the rover discovered last year.
After checking out the crater, Yutu 2 will continue its journey northwest from the Chang'e 4 landing site. Yutu 2 has driven a total of 1,469 feet (447.68 meters) since setting down on the far side of the moon in January 2019.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has meanwhile been imaging the Chang'e 4 lander, also showing the progress of Yutu 2. An image taken Jan. 20 shows the lander casting a shadow as well as the much smaller Yutu 2 just north of a crater.
Incredibly, faint tracks made by the rover can also be observed in the images returned from the orbiting LRO.

Both the Chang'e 4 lander and Yutu 2 rover have exceeded their design lifetimes of one year and three Earth months, respectively.
Lunar day 19 activities will continue until June 27. The spacecraft will then power down to protect against the harsh cold of lunar night, which will begin with sunset on June 28.
China is also preparing a lunar sample return mission, Chang'e 5, to launch in the final quarter of this year.
