Huge object travels through our solar system
Huge object travels through our solar system
Several days ago, NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO-A H2 spacecraft, captured images of a huge object which flies in an arc through space near the sun.
It is not the first time unidentified flying object have been spotted passing through an area near the sun and although NASA is aware of these UFOs playing around the sun, they don't want talk about it.
The video below shows the UFO in normal view and in close-up when it travels with an incredible speed through space.
SCIENTISTS GROW PETRI DISH MINI-BRAINS WITH NEANDERTHAL DNA
SCIENTISTS GROW PETRI DISH MINI-BRAINS WITH NEANDERTHAL DNA

Neanderthal Mini-Brains
To study how early humans related to the ancient human subspecies known as Neanderthals, CNN reports, a team of European scientists grew mini-brains from human stem cells that contain Neanderthal DNA and proteins.
“We were curious how much of the Neanderthal genome could be explored if you just have access to stem cells from the right people,” Grayson Camp, lead author of a new study published in the journal Stem Cell Reports today and genomics PhD at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology in Switzerland, told CNN.
DNA Similarities
The team analyzed genomes from individuals with Northern European descent and compared them to a reference Neanderthal genome created in 2010 by geneticist Svante Pääbo “to figure out which parts were likely derived from Neanderthals and which parts were not,” according to Camp.
“Per individual, there’s something like between 1 percent and 4 percent of the genome likely derived from Neanderthals,” he added.
Brain Blobs
From there, the team grew three-dimensional blobs of brain tissue inside a petri dish. These tiny brains, also called organoids, are often used to test the effects of drugs.
They are specifically not “lab-grown Neanderthal brains,” as Camp assured CNN. “These are human cells, they’re not Neanderthal cells but human cells that have Neanderthal DNA naturally inside them,” Camp said.
The research also could give us insight into the early diet of Neanderthals, he said, and how their traits shaped human ones over thousands of years.
Debris from a comet may have leveled an ancient village in Syria during a spate of several such explosions occurring around the world, according to new research.
The village of Abu Hureyra was a mound settlement in northern Syria around 13,000 years ago. The site was quickly excavated in 1972 and 1973, before the Euphrates River was dammed, flooding the site beneath Lake Assad. But the hurried excavations exposed charcoal-rich surfaces containing glass spheres formed from melting soil, melted iron- and sulfur-rich samples, and nanodiamonds. Such materials are all indicators of extremely high temperatures like those produced by a chunk of rock exploding in the air.
A team led by Andrew Moore, an archeologist at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York who led the emergency excavations of the site in the '70s, recently reexamined some of the excavated material in greater detail. The scientists then developed experimental methods to replicate the materials they discovered at the village.
"These provided new insights into how the meltglass was formed and how plant and other materials became incorporated in it," Moore told Space.com by email.
Melting the minerals found in the soil requires temperatures over 3,630 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius), "hot enough to cause the quartz grains to boil," Moore said. That suggests something cataclysmic.
"It is impossible to explain these melted minerals on meltglass by any natural process other than a cosmic impact event," Moore said.
A deadly explosion
The first settlers of Abu Hureyra were hunter-gatherers who lived off the land. A terrible drought drove the people to begin cultivating grains that they had previously collected from the wild, turning them into the first known farmers, previous research has revealed.
Then, about 13,000 years ago, something very bad seems to have occurred, leaving a layer of carbon suggesting dramatic fires. But for much of the last decade, scientists inspecting the remnants of the village have debated what happened, unable to decide whether the carbon formed during an airburst or during more mundane fires among the thatched huts.
So Moore decided to reexamine the glass in more detail. His analysis of the glass composition matched a 2012 finding claiming an airburst had destroyed Abu Hureyra, suggesting that the villagers' bucolic lifestyle ended suddenly when one or more fragments from a passing comet exploded in the air nearby.
"People who were in or near the village of Abu Hureyra at the time the airburst exploded would have seen an immense flash in the sky, equivalent to a nuclear explosion," Moore said. "A few seconds later, they would have been incinerated by the blast emanating from the airburst. The heat wave destroyed the village and everything in it, leaving a layer of burned material across the surface."
Observers several tens of kilometers from the site would have seen the flash, heard the explosion, and felt the heatwave, but likely survived the detonation.
Moore and his colleagues heated fragments of the glass in a laboratory furnace until they had fully melted, which occurred at 2,400 F (1,300 C), establishing a lower limit for the temperature the spheroids had originally been exposed to. But it took higher temperatures for the quartz and other particles on the exterior to melt.
The researchers also compared the Abu Hureyra material with glass melted at other prehistoric impact sites on Earth and found many similarities. The wealth of meltglass dating to roughly the same timeframe suggests to researchers that thousands of pieces of debris shed from a comet slammed into Earth's atmosphere 12,800 years ago, impacting more than 40 sites across North America and Europe.
The new findings by Moore's team match a 2007 hypothesis that Earth experienced several multi-continental airbursts. Since an individual comet or asteroid large enough to cause such widespread destruction is unlikely, the researchers suspect the disparate impacts were possibly caused by cometary debris.
"The largest cometary debris clusters are proposed to be capable of causing thousands of airbursts within a span of minutes across one entire hemisphere of Earth," the authors wrote. "An encounter with such a million-km-wide debris cluster would be thousands of times more probable than a collision with a 100-km-wide comet or a 10-km-wide asteroid."
Using a groundbreaking new model, scientists have calculated that there may be up to six billion Earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxy, reviving hopes that colonization among the stars may still, one day, be viable.
So far, humanity has confirmed the existence of 4,164 exoplanets, most of which are gas or ice giants similar to Jupiter or Neptune. At present, there are an estimated 100 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, roughly seven percent of which are similar in composition and size to our sun. These are known as G-type main-sequence stars.
Michelle Kunimoto from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada, an expert in exoplanets, applied a technique known as forward modelling to a database of 200,000 stars studied by the Kepler planet-hunter between 2009 and 2018, to see how many potential new Earths could be out there orbiting around these stars.
“My calculations place an upper limit of 0.18 Earth-like planets per G-type star,” Kunimoto, who recently discovered an additional 17 exoplanets in Kepler space telescope data, said. Previous estimates noted a frequency of between 0.2 and one potentially habitable planets per sun-like star.
“Estimating how common different kinds of planets are around different stars, can provide important constraints on planet formation and evolution theories, and help optimise future missions dedicated to finding exoplanets.”
The distances involved in the Kepler data set make it harder to spot the smaller, rocky planets similar to Earth and Mars, because we detect faraway planets based on the impact they have on their stars. The smaller the planet, the smaller the impact on its star and thus, the harder they are to spot.
While frustrating, this indicates that there are likely far more exoplanets out there than we have yet discovered using current methods.
Kunimoto simulated the full population of exoplanets around the stars observed and studied by Kepler, and marked each as 'detected' or 'missed' based on how likely it was that the forward modelling technique was to have found them.
She then compared her findings with the actual catalogue to test the accuracy of the modelling technique and found that, given the degree of accuracy contained therein, the potential maximum of exoplanets in the Milky Way is somewhere in the region of six billion planets.
The real number will likely be much smaller, once their habitability and other factors are taken into account, but it’s a good starting point and one that inspires confidence in finding some likely candidates for colonization at some point in humanity's future.
Potentially habitable planets are defined as between .75 and 1.5 times the mass of the Earth, orbiting a G-type star at a distance of between 0.99 and 1.7 times the distance between the Earth and our sun, inhabiting the so-called Goldilocks zone where the planet could host liquid water and, therefore, life.

‘Final proof life existed on Mars' is claimed after discovery of ‘ALIEN KING’S skeleton'
‘Final proof life existed on Mars' is claimed after discovery of ‘ALIEN KING’S skeleton'
ALIEN chasers claim scientists may never look at Mars the same way again amid claims a humanoid skeleton has been found in NASA images of the Red Planet.
A video has been released on YouTube alleging to show the remains of a Martian.
Scott C Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, said: "This is enough evidence to rock the palaeontology world off its high horse.
"These skeletal remains of a living creature on Mars was found by Paranormal Crucible of Youtube.
"It could be an intelligent species, one of the creatures that controlled this planet. An extraordinary and unusual find that should change how we see Mars forever."
NASA
The 'bones' shown here are being hailed an historic discovery.
Paranormal Crucible released a promotional blurb with the video, stating: "One of subscribers alerted me to this artefact and, in my opinion, its an ancient Martian skeleton.
"I gently colorised the image to bring out the details we can see in the video.
"The relic has a large skull adorned with an ornate or decorative head piece, this could indicate that its the remains of a king, religious icon or perhaps a fallen warrior.
"This is undoubtedly the skeletal remains of an alien humanoid in my opinion.
"I have cross referenced the relics remains and compared them with bones found in humans, and the comparison is undeniable."
NASA
The Curiosity rover, who NASA says has just found evidence of water, not life, on Mars.
This is undoubtedly the skeletal remains of an alien humanoid in my opinion. I have cross referenced the relics remains and compared them with bones found in humans, and the comparison is undeniable.
Paranormal Crucible
Last week the channel claimed to have found evidence of a dinosaur or horse skull in different NASA images which had been beamed back to Earth by the Curiosity Rover, a 4WD droid currently exploring the Red Planet surface.
The blurb added: "This added with my previous video of a dinosaur skull found by the Curiosity Rover, confirms without doubt that Mars did have life on it."
NASA insists it has found no evidence of any life on Mars yet and just traces of surface water.
It believes that nothing more than microscopic lifeforms are likely to have begun before Mars was robbed of its atmosphere by the sun and lost all its former oceans.
NASA scientists and other sceptics say the alien chasers are wrong, and these so-called amazing discoveries are the results of pareidolia, when the brain tricks the eyes into seeing familiar objects or shapes in patterns or textures such as rock surfaces.
Paranormal Crucible has also been heavily criticised for using colourisation and other editing techniques to enhance the images to make them look more like what they say they have found.

Balloon-like UFO spotted in skies above northeastern Japan
Balloon-like UFO spotted in skies above northeastern Japan
An unidentified white balloon-like object was spotted by residents in northeastern Japan on Wednesday, with some people directing inquiries to police and other local authorities while others took to Twitter to voice their excitement.
An official from the Japan Meteorological Agency's Sendai office in Miyagi Prefecture confirmed it was not an item flown by the agency, saying, "We checked with the Sendai municipal government and the Self-Defense Forces, but they have no idea either."
According to the agency, calls about a mysterious floating object began arriving around 7 a.m.
It was observed in Sendai and Fukushima Prefecture and a cross-shaped item, described by an agency official as resembling some type of observational equipment, could be seen hanging from the sphere.

The Miyagi prefectural police also flew a helicopter to check on the object traveling at more than 2,000 meters above the ground but have yet to determine its origin and identity.
"We just have to keep our eyes on where it's going," a police official said. The police lost the exact location of the object in the evening after clouds blocked them from tracking it.
The transport ministry's office at Sendai airport said there had been no requests for flying an aerial vehicle as per aviation law.
"As it is not on any flight paths, it will not impact aircraft operations, but we will continue to keep an eye on it," an official at the office said.
On Twitter, one user asked "Could it be a UFO?" while another said, "It looks like a hot-air balloon."

Researchers from the American Museum of Natural History and Yale University analyzed the eggs of two different non-avian dinosaurs to find that they resemble those of turtles in terms of microstructure, composition, and mechanical properties.
Meaning that early dinosaurs likely laid soft-shelled eggs. Under pressure from predators or the environment, dinosaurs evolved hard-shelled eggs at least three independent times, the team adds.
Getting an egg up
“The assumption has always been that the ancestral dinosaur egg was hard-shelled,” said lead author Mark Norell, chair and Macaulay Curator in the Museum’s Division of Paleontology. “Over the last 20 years, we’ve found dinosaur eggs around the world. But for the most part, they only represent three groups — theropod dinosaurs, advanced hadrosaurs like the duck-bill dinosaurs, and advanced sauropods.”
“At the same time, we’ve found thousands of skeletal remains of ceratopsian dinosaurs, but almost none of their eggs. So why weren’t their eggs preserved? My guess — and what we ended up proving through this study — is that they were soft-shelled.”
Amniotes are a group of animals including birds, mammals, and reptiles, which reproduce by laying eggs with an inner membrane or “amnion”. This membrane helps keep the embryo from drying out. Some amniotes, the team explains, including many turtles, lizards, and snakes, lay soft-shelled eggs, whereas others (mostly birds) lay hard-shelled eggs. Their hardness comes from high levels of calcification in the shell.
Harder eggshells provide better protection from the environment and was a big development for amniotes, as it allowed for more eggs to survive until hatching in more varied environments.
Modern crocodilians and birds, the closest living relatives to the dinosaurs, lay hard-shelled eggs. The fact that soft-shelled eggs rarely fossilize also helped as it made it extremely difficult to study the transition from soft to hard eggshells. So, it was assumed that non-avian dinosaurs used this type of shell.
But this was not the case, a new study reports. The authors studied embryo-containing fossil eggs of Protoceratops (a sheep-sized herbivore) and Mussaurus (a long-necked, big herbivore dino).
The skeletons of six among the Protoceratops embryos have been preserved surrounded by a black-and-white, egg-shaped halo, according to the team. Two of them (potentially hatched) were largely free of this halo. A closer analysis showed that the shapes were created from chemically-altered residues of the membrane lining the inside of all modern archosaur eggs. The same was true for the Mussaurus embryos.
Comparing the minerals that made up these shells with those in the eggshells of modern species, the team determined that the Protoceratops and Mussaurus eggs were indeed non-biomineralized, meaning they were leathery-soft.
“It’s an exceptional claim, so we need exceptional data,” said study author and Yale graduate student Jasmina Wiemann. “We had to come up with a brand-new proxy to be sure that what we were seeing was how the eggs were in life, and not just a result of some strange fossilization effect.”
“We now have a new method that can be applied to all other sorts of questions, as well as unambiguous evidence that complements the morphological and histological case for soft-shelled eggs in these animals.”
Using chemical composition data and the mechanical properties of eggshells from 112 other extinct and living relatives, the team determined that calcified eggs evolved independently at least three times in dinosaurs, probably from a soft-shelled type.
Soft eggshells are more sensitive to water loss and offer little protection against mechanical stress, so Protoceratops and Mussaurus probably buried them in sand or soil and incubated them with heat from decomposing plant matter, as some reptiles do today.
The paper “The first dinosaur egg was soft” has been published in the journal Nature.
Unique Green Glow Spotted on Mars – First Time Around a Planet Other Than Earth
Unique Green Glow Spotted on Mars – First Time Around a Planet Other Than Earth

ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has detected glowing green oxygen in Mars’ atmosphere – the first time that this emission has been seen around a planet other than Earth.
On Earth, glowing oxygen is produced during polar auroras when energetic electrons from interplanetary space hit the upper atmosphere. This oxygen-driven emission of light gives polar auroras their beautiful and characteristic green hue.
The aurora, however, is just one way in which planetary atmospheres light up. The atmospheres of planets including Earth and Mars glow constantly during both day and night as sunlight interacts with atoms and molecules within the atmosphere. Day and night glow are caused by slightly different mechanisms: night glow occurs as broken-apart molecules recombine, whereas day glow arises when the Sun’s light directly excites atoms and molecules such as nitrogen and oxygen.
On Earth, green night glow is quite faint, and so is best seen by looking from an ‘edge on’ perspective – as portrayed in many spectacular images taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This faintness can be an issue when hunting for it around other planets, as their bright surfaces can drown it out.
Airglow occurs in Earth’s atmospheres as sunlight interacts with atoms and molecules within the atmosphere. In this image, taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in 2011, a green band of oxygen glow is visible over Earth’s curve. On the surface, portions of northern Africa are visible, with evening lights shining along the Nile river and its delta.

This green glow has now been detected for the first time at Mars by the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), which has been orbiting Mars since October 2016.
“One of the brightest emissions seen on Earth stems from night glow. More specifically, from oxygen atoms emitting a particular wavelength of light that has never been seen around another planet,” says Jean-Claude Gérard of the Université de Liège, Belgium, and lead author of the new study published in Nature Astronomy.
“However, this emission has been predicted to exist at Mars for around 40 years – and, thanks to TGO, we’ve found it.”
Jean-Claude and colleagues were able to spot this emission using a special observing mode of the TGO. One of the orbiter’s advanced suite of instruments, known as NOMAD (Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery) and including the ultraviolet and visible spectrometer (UVIS), can observe in various configurations, one of which positions its instruments to point directly down at the martian surface – also referred to as the ‘nadir’ channel.

“Previous observations hadn’t captured any kind of green glow at Mars, so we decided to reorient the UVIS nadir channel to point at the ‘edge’ of Mars, similar to the perspective you see in images of Earth taken from the ISS,” adds co-author Ann Carine Vandaele of the Institut Royal d’Aéronomie Spatiale de Belgique, Belgium, and Principal Investigator of NOMAD.
Between 24 April and 1 December 2019, Jean-Claude, Ann Carine, and colleagues used NOMAD-UVIS to scan altitudes ranging from 20 to 400 kilometers from the martian surface twice per orbit. When they analyzed these datasets, they found the green oxygen emission in all of them.
“The emission was strongest at an altitude of around 80 kilometers and varied depending on the changing distance between Mars and the Sun,” adds Ann Carine.
Studying the glow of planetary atmospheres can provide a wealth of information about the composition and dynamics of an atmosphere, and reveal how energy is deposited by both the Sun’s light and the solar wind – the stream of charged particles emanating from our star.
To better understand this green glow at Mars, and compare it to what we see around our own planet, Jean-Claude and colleagues dug further into how it was formed.
“We modeled this emission and found that it’s mostly produced as carbon dioxide, or CO2, is broken up into its constituent parts: carbon monoxide and oxygen,” says Jean-Claude. “We saw the resulting oxygen atoms glowing in both visible and ultraviolet light.”
Simultaneously comparing these two kinds of emission showed that the visible emission was 16.5 times more intense than the ultraviolet.
“The observations at Mars agree with previous theoretical models but not with the actual glowing we’ve spotted around Earth, where the visible emission is far weaker,” adds Jean-Claude. “This suggests we have more to learn about how oxygen atoms behave, which is hugely important for our understanding of atomic and quantum physics.”
Oxygen emission detected in dayside limb spectra from the UVIS channel of the NOMAD instrument on ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. Different colours show the measurements at different altitudes in the martian atmosphere. Oxygen dayglow appears to be brightest at 80 km, reaching a second peak around 120 km, and dissipating above 150 km. This is the first time that this emission has been seen around a planet other than Earth.

This understanding is key to characterizing planetary atmospheres and related phenomena – such as auroras. By deciphering the structure and behavior of this green glowing layer of Mars’ atmosphere, scientists can gain insight into an altitude range that has remained largely unexplored, and monitor how it changes as the Sun’s activity varies and Mars travels along its orbit around our star.
“This is the first tim this important emission has ever been observed around another planet beyond Earth, and marks the first scientific publication based on observations from the UVIS channel of the NOMAD instrument on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter,” highlights Håkan Svedhem, ESA’s TGO Project Scientist.
“It demonstrates the remarkably high sensitivity and optical quality of the NOMAD instrument. This is especially true given that this study explored the dayside of Mars, which is much brighter than the nightside, thus making it even more difficult to spot this faint emission.”
Understanding the properties of Mars’ atmosphere is not only interesting scientifically, but is also key to operate the missions we send to the Red Planet. Atmospheric density, for example, directly affects the drag experienced by orbiting satellites and by the parachutes used to deliver probes to the martian surface.
“This type of remote-sensing observation, coupled with in situ measurements at higher altitudes, helps us to predict how the martian atmosphere will respond to seasonal changes and variations in solar activity,” adds Håkan. “Predicting changes in atmospheric density is especially important for forthcoming missions, including the ExoMars 2022 mission that will send a rover and surface science platform to explore the surface of the Red Planet.”

Pole Shift: Are We Long Overdue for an Extinction Event, Is One Underway Now?
COAST TO COAST AM – In the first extinction, 441 million years ago, around 86% of all life forms died. It’s possible, he postulated, that we live in a double-star system, “and our companion comes close every 70 million years or so, and when it does, the gravity from it throws all these distant bodies that are out in the Oort cloud” hurling toward us.
He shared different Armageddon fears, such as when the tail of Halley’s Comet passed through Earth in 1910, and many thought they might die from cyanide exposure. Berman also pointed out that the Earth’s north and south poles have been moving rapidly, and we’re seeing a weakened magnetic field. While a pole reversal may be underway, he noted that it generally takes between 100 to 1,000 years for this play out.

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.

:Field evidence for coal combustion links the 252 Ma Siberian Traps with global carbon disruption.F. Goodarzi, O.H. Ardakani, R.V. Veselovskiy, B.A. Black, S.E. Grasby, L.T. Elkins-Tanton. Geology, 2020; DOI: 10.1130/G47365.1
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

Single Wing UFO Seen Hovering Over City In Taiwan, Raw Footage Here, June 18, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
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.

3 UFOs Recorded On Security Cam Entering ET Base Below Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: June 16, 2020
Location of sighting: Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico
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.

Alien Watching Pedestrians In New York, Google Earth Discovery, UFO Sighting Global Latest News.
Date of discovery:June 2020
Location of discovery: New York State, USA
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
