This Creepy Cosmic Radio Burst Repeats Every 157 Days. Where Is It Coming From?
This Creepy Cosmic Radio Burst Repeats Every 157 Days. Where Is It Coming From?
FBR 121102 has a staggering 157-day cycle, according to researchers, who studied the cosmic event during a four-year observation period.
The team used the the Lovell Telescope at England's Jodrell Bank Observatory.
Fast radio bursts (FRB) are one of the most mysterious events in the cosmos.
These powerful bursts of energy have stumped astronomers since they first discovered them in 2007. Since then, researchers have spotted evidence of more than 100 FRBs. And now, an international study team team believes it's uncovered new information about a well-known FRB that could shed light on how they form.
Over the course of four years, the scientists used the 250-foot-wide Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory in England to study FRB 121102, a previously discovered repeating radio burst. They found that FRB 121102—one of two known repeating FRBs—seemed to have a peculiar cycle, flaring up after 90 days and then vanishing for 67 days.
The other repeating fast radio burst, FRB 180916.J10158+56, has a much shorter cycle at just 16 days. The scientists posted their observations June 7 in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
"The discovery that at least some Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) repeat has ruled out cataclysmic events as the progenitors of these particular bursts," the authors wrote in their paper, which can read on arXiv.
While some astronomers have suspected a type of spinning neutron star called a magnetar could cause cause FRBs, Others have suggested they may be the work of extraterrestrial civilizations trying to reach out. This latest research may have ruled out the magnetar theory.
"Detecting a periodicity provides an important constraint on the origin of the bursts and the activity cycles could argue against a precessing neutron star," lead researcher Kaustubh Rajwade, of The University of Manchester, said in a press statement. The cyclical nature of these events suggests maybe they're linked to a binary system, where one object circles another, but more research is needed.
The 5 Most Sinister Meetings That Secretly Control The World (Video)
The 5 Most Sinister Meetings That Secretly Control The World (Video)
We’ve discussed the families who secretly rule the world and in this article, I will cover the meetings that take place to discuss the yearly agenda set by the ruling Elites and who attends the meetings.
5. Committee of 300
The Committee of 300, also known as The Olympians, is a group alleged to have been founded by the British aristocracy in 1727. Proponents of the theory alleging the Committee’s existence believe it to be an international council that organizes politics, commerce, banking, media, and the military for centralized global efforts.
4. Bohemian Grove
Bohemian Grove is a 2,700-acre (1,100 ha) campground located at 20601 Bohemian Avenue, in Monte Rio, California, belonging to a private San Francisco-based men’s art club known as the Bohemian Club. In mid-July each year, Bohemian Grove hosts a two-week, three-weekend encampment of some of the most prominent men in the world. The Bohemian Club’s all-male membership and guest list include artists, particularly musicians, as well as many prominent business leaders, government officials (including U.S. presidents), senior media executives, and people of power.
3. Bilderberg Group
The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, Bilderberg meetings, or Bilderberg Club is an annual private conference of 120 to 150 people of the European and North American political elite, experts from industry, finance, academia, and the media, established in 1954.
2. Trilateral Commission
The Trilateral Commission is a non-governmental, non-partisan discussion group founded by David Rockefeller[1] in July 1973, to foster closer cooperation among North America, Western Europe, and Japan.
1. Davos
Davos is host to the World Economic Forum (WEF), an annual meeting of global political and business elites (often referred to simply as Davos) and the home of one of Switzerland’s biggest ski resorts. At the end of every year, it serves as the site of the annual Spengler Cup ice hockey tournament, hosted by the HC Davos local hockey team.
The world’s largest waterfall is in the ocean, beneath the Denmark Strait.
View larger. | This infographic illustrates how a large underwater cataract (waterfall) naturally forms underneath the waves within the Denmark Strait. (A map in the upper right of the graphic shows the location of Denmark Strait, between Greenland and Iceland.) Warmer surface waters flow northward. These warmer waters gradually lose heat to the atmosphere and sink. Denser, cold water flows southward in a deep current along the sea floor over an undersea ridge in the Strait. The height of the Denmark Strait cataract is approximately 11,500 feet (3,500 meters). By comparison, the largest waterfall on land is 3,212 feet (980 meters). Image via NOAA.
Rivers flowing into Earth’s gorges create waterfalls that are natural wonders, drawing millions of visitors. But Earth’s largest and most powerful waterfall doesn’t attract many tourists. That’s because it lies beneath the ocean, under theDenmark Strait, which separates Iceland and Greenland.
The waterfall – known as the Denmark Strait cataract – under the Denmark Strait near the southern tip of Greenland – begins 2,000 feet (600 meters) under the ocean surface and plunges to a depth of 10,000 feet (3,000 meters), nearly a 2-mile (3.2 km) drop.
The Denmark Strait.
Image via Wikipedia.
The Denmark Strait cataract is more than 3 times the height of Angel Falls in Venezuela, which is considered Earth’s tallest waterfall (on land). And the Denmark Strait cataract carries an estimated 123 million cubic feet (3.5 million cubic meters) of water per second. That’s equivalent to almost 2,000 Niagara Falls at peak flow.
Angel Falls in Venezuela, the tallest waterfall on land, is 3 times shorter than the Denmark Strait cataract, and Niagara Falls carries 2,000 times less water, even during peak flows.
But how can there be waterfalls in the ocean? It’s because cold water is denser than warm water, and in the Denmark Strait, southward-flowing frigid water from the Nordic Seas meets warmer water from the Irminger Sea. The cold, dense water quickly sinks below the warmer water and flows over the huge drop in the ocean floor, creating a downward flow estimated at well over 123 million cubic feet (3.5 million cubic meters) per second. Because it flows beneath the ocean surface, however, the massive turbulence of the Denmark Strait goes completely undetected without the aid of scientific instruments.
When the water from the Denmark Strait cataract reaches the ocean floor, it forms a massive current traveling south, replacing warmer surface water that’s flowing north. The amount of water in this gigantic flow equals between 20 and 40 times the sum of all river water that flows into the Atlantic.
Bottom line: Earth’s largest waterfall – known as the Denmark Strait cataract – is under the ocean.
Scientists have discovered more than 4,000 planets outside our solar system. In the search for intelligent life, astrophysicists including the University of Rochester's Adam Frank are seeking the physical and chemical signatures that would indicate advanced technology. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
In 1995 a pair of scientists discovered a planet outside our solar system orbiting a solar-type star. Since that finding—which won the scientists a portion of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics—researches have discovered more than 4,000 exoplanets, including some Earth-like planets that may have the potential to harbor life.
In order to detect if planets are harboring life, however, scientists must first determine what features indicate that life is (or once was) present.
Over the last decade, astronomers have expended great effort trying to find what traces of simple forms of life—known as "biosignatures"—might exist elsewhere in the universe. But what if an alien planet hosted intelligent life that built a technological civilization? Could there be "technosignatures" that a civilization on another world would create that could be seen from Earth? And, could these technosignatures be even easier to detect than biosignatures?
Adam Frank, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester, has received a grant from NASA that will enable him to begin to answer these questions. The grant will fund his study of technosignatures—detectable signs of past or present technology used on other planets. This is the first NASA non-radio technosignature grant ever awarded and represents an exciting new direction for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). The grant will allow Frank, along with collaborators Jacob-Haqq Misra from the international nonprofit organization Blue Marble Space, Manasvi Lingam from the Florida Institute of Technology, Avi Loeb from Harvard University, and Jason Wright from Pennsylvania State University, to produce the first entries in an online technosignature library.
"SETI has always faced the challenge of figuring out where to look," Frank says. "Which stars do you point your telescope at and look for signals? Now we know where to look. We have thousands of exoplanets including planets in the habitable zone where life can form. The game has changed."
The nature of the search has changed as well. A civilization, by nature, will need to find a way to produce energy, and, Frank says, "there are only so many forms of energy in the universe. Aliens are not magic."
Although life may take many forms, it will always be based in the same physical and chemical principles that underlie the universe. The same connection holds for building a civilization; any technology that an alien civilization uses is going to be based on physics and chemistry. That means researchers can use what they've learned in Earth-bound labs to guide their thinking about what may have happened elsewhere in the universe.
"My hope is that, using this grant, we will quantify new ways to probe signs of alien technological civilizations that are similar or much more advanced to our own," says Loeb, the Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science at Harvard.
The researchers will begin the project by looking at two possible technosignatures that might indicate technological activity on another planet:
Solar panels. Stars are one of the most powerful energy generators in the universe. On Earth, we harness energy from our star, the sun, so "using solar energy would be a pretty natural thing for other civilizations to do," Frank says. If a civilization uses a lot of solar panels, the light that is reflected from the planet would have a certain spectral signature—a measurement of the wavelengths of light that are reflected or absorbed—indicating the presence of those solar collectors. The researchers will determine the spectral signatures of large-scale planetary solar energy collection.
Pollutants."We have come a long way toward understanding how we might detect life on other worlds from the gases present in those worlds' atmospheres," says Wright, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State. On Earth, we are able to detect chemicals in our atmosphere by the light the chemicals absorb. Some examples of these chemicals include methane, oxygen, and artificial gases such as the chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) we once used as refrigerants. Biosignature studies focus on chemicals like methane, which simple life will produce. Frank and his colleagues will catalogue the signatures of chemicals, such as CFCs, that indicate the presence of an industrial civilization.
The information will be gathered in an online library of technosignatures that astrophysicists will be able to use as a comparative tool when gathering data.
"Our job is to say, 'this wavelength band is where you might see certain types of pollutants, this wavelength band is where you would see sunlight reflected off solar panels," Frank says. "This way astronomers observing a distant exoplanet will know where and what to look for if they're searching for technosignatures."
Our planet exists within the vicinity of thousands of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), some of which—potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs)—carry the risk of impacting Earth and causing major damage to infrastructure and loss of life. Methods to mitigate such a collision are highly desirable. A new paper published in EPJ Special Topics, authored by Flaviane Venditti, Planetary Radar Department, Arecibo Observatory, University of Central Florida, suggests the use of a tether assisted system to prevent PHA impact.
The method suggested by Venditti and her colleagues involves using the tether—previously suggested for other uses, such as space/lunar elevators and tethered satellite systems—to connect the threatening PHA to another, smaller, asteroid, thus changing the center of mass of the two and hopefully raising the PHA to a safer orbit.
Each potential PHA impact mitigation method carries with it its own set of benefits and risks. A considerable risk associated with 'high-impact' mitigation techniques, such as the detonation of explosives at the surface of the PHA, is fragmentation. This makes methods which gradually alter the orbit of a PHA, and thus prevent the break up of such an object, look like a less risky prospect. The tether system carries with it little risk of causing fragmentation and smaller pieces of the PHA falling to earth, something which could itself cause widespread damage.
Using the asteroid Bennu as a test subject, the team used computer simulations to calculate the dynamics of such a tether system for a variety of different initial conditions, concluding that it would be feasible for use as a planetary defense system. The team also suggest that the system could be of use in both the study and potential mining of NEOs and other asteroids.
One of the likely drawbacks of such a method is the fact that it could require a longer lead time than many high impact methods which quickly deliver kinetic energy to a PHA to knock it out of orbit. Thus, the continued cataloging of such objects is needed if such a method is ever to be viable.
Fast radio bursts have been getting all of the “mysterious signals” publicity lately, so it’s easy to see why other mysterious signals have been overlooked. That’s no longer the case with one in particular, despite the new paper announcing them with the unwieldy description of “Excess Electronic Recoil Events.” What should make everyone recoil is that these signals are coming from experiments attempting to find dark matter and the 163 scientists conducting them can’t explain the messages.
“This is really a rather surprising result. The excess measurements do not show up in our main analysis, but rather in our background events. It’s really curious in many ways. Unexpected for sure. Unclear as to what causes this. It’s certainly some new effect that we hadn’t considered before.”
In a press release by Purdue University, Rafael Lang, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at the school and one of the 163 scientists, uses some words you don’t want to hear from people playing with particle accelerators looking for dark matter. Lang is part of the Xenon Collaboration working at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, an underground particle physics facility in the Abruzzo Mountains of Italy north of Rome.
“The XENON1T experiment, employing a liquid-xenon time projection chamber (LXe TPC), was primarily designed to detect Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter. Due to its unprecedentedly low background rate, large target mass, and low energy threshold, XENON1T is also sensitive to interactions from alternative dark matter candidates and to other physics beyond the Standard Model (SM).”
Xenon is also used in car headlights
Xenon (Xe) is used as propellant for ion thrusters in spacecraft, so it’s not a element to be fooled with lightly. In this case, it’s being used to detect WIMP dark matter hitting a xenon nucleus and causing a signal or ‘recoil’ – a search that has been going on there for 14 years without success. To pass the time, bored particle physicists began using the XENON1T to search for other hypothetical particles banging into things besides xenon nuclei. That’s when they found 53 additional recoils they couldn’t account for. They’ve spent the last year secretly trying to figure out what they are.
“The question is: Is this some known physics, such as a tiny contamination with tritium, or is this the tip of the iceberg pointing to truly new physics, beyond what we know from textbooks? We simply don’t know at this point.”
That’s not very comforting, Professor Lang. What the large team has settled on is three theoretical possibilities: a solar axion (a hypothetical particle found in the sun similar to a photon but with a tiny amount of mass), a new kind of neutrino (known subatomic particles that pass through all matter – except when collide with something) or tritium, a rare hydrogen isotope whose presence would indicate an error in the data). Obviously, they’re hoping it’s a solar axiom, which would make it a component of dark matter.
Particle accelerator
So which one is it? The answer is a good news/bad news one. The bad news is, the Xenon1T detector was shut down in December 2018 for an upgrade. The good news is, the upgrade – which will be finished soon — increases the amount of liquid xenon while decreasing the amount of background noise. Will that give these 163 frustrated researchers the answer?
“It’s like a puzzle with no missing pieces. Except that we still have a bunch of questions that this model doesn’t address. For example, what is dark matter? Why is there matter in the universe at all? So, we expect that there is this entirely other puzzle that we can play with. These questions need answers, but we don’t have our foot in the door of that one. The discovery of any new particle, such as axions, would be that foot in the door.”
For those who have been stuck at home due to the coronavirus shutdown and passing the time by assembling jigsaws, “a puzzle with no missing pieces” but still unsolved sounds like a nightmare. So does messing with dark matter. Let’s hope it’s not.
In the realms of UFO and alien encounters there are many strange tales and reports. Many of these can really stand out as particularly odd, with some people experiencing multiple encounters throughout their lives. One such witness claims to have had myriad brushes with the strange over the years, and also brings us a tale of a very odd incident that supposedly involved a mass abduction of soldiers by aliens and top secret cover-ups.
The strange tale here is one of just many told by alien contactee Bill Brooks, in England, who claims that he has had multiple encounters with aliens all of his life. In regular life, 66-year-old Brooks is a professional musician, and for many years he was blissfully unaware of the bizarre experiences he had been having all of his life, as these memories had been long dormant and locked away within the confines of his mind. It was not until when he was 44 years of age that he was going home one night from a gig and had a strange encounter that would forever change his life. He claims that he had an encounter with a UFO, during which he experienced an intense “memory download” and all of his past brushes with the otherworldly came rushing back to him, as if they had been wiped and were only now emerging to hit him all at once.
He would recall that his first encounter with aliens had happened when he was just 10 years old, when he saw a family of four humanoid Nordic-looking aliens making crop circles in a field. These aliens then apparently took him aboard their ship and taught him how to use psychic powers to move small metallic spheres. It would only get weirder from there, as he then was frequently contacted by aliens, including the Nordic aliens, reptilian humanoids, and the iconic Greys that more people are familiar with. Over the course of his life he claims that he was experimented on many times by these various entities, and at some point had several implants removed, and it is all very weird, but some of his strangest stories revolve his time spent in the military.
During his time with the British army, Brooks claims to have had many very surreal experiences. One was a secret mind control experiment he claims to have been a part of at Porton Down, UK, during which he was given psychedelic drugs and forced to watch a spinning black spiral on a white walls as strange commands were barked at him. He says these experiments were designed to make soldiers more aggressive and easily controlled by their handlers. Another weird experience was in 1968, when he was stationed at Dempsey Barracks, Sennelager, Germany. While there he says he had a paranormal encounter with some sort of supernatural entity, of which he has said:
My barrack room was on the second floor of a huge old four story building that dated back to before WWII. I shared this room with three other young soldiers, we each had a corner with a military issue metal bed and a large dark green locker. It was long gone midnight and all of the occupants of my room were in bed sound asleep as I was too until something disturbed me. I woke on hearing the sound of footsteps walking across the bare wooden floor and can recall thinking to myself that it was the drunken Welshman that had the bed in the far corner by the window. Sitting up slightly I looked forward to see who it was, it was not Taffy. Standing at the foot of my bed was a horrible looking apparition that seemed to be lit from within it looked like an injured soldier as its head was half missing. I remember trying to scream but could not make a sound nor could I move, I was literally transfixed with terror.
Bill Brooks
These are already quite strange, but his most harrowing and spectacular claimed experience was when he claims that there was a mass alien at the base that seemed to be held with the cooperation of what appeared to be American military officials. The whole bizarre story begins with what he and the others at first thought was a simulated gas attack for training purposes, and he says of this:
It was a late autumnal evening, around eight or nine when we noticed an orange-coloured mist coming towards our position which definitely got our attention. The soldier I was with Joe said he believed it was a simulated gas attack. We went back to the base camp to warn our section to put on their gas masks. When we arrived we were surprised to find everyone asleep in their vehicles. We woke an NCO and reported to him what we had seen and that we thought this was a simulated gas attack. He said it was not possible as the training exercise had been cancelled and the section was on stand down. Joe and I then found somewhere to rest and as we lay back on some camouflage nets I saw an incredible scene. I saw a light and what looked like smoke coming towards us. As I looked away from the light my field of vision rested on a further site that I could make no sense of. I watched with incredulity a scene that I knew should not be possible and strained my eyes to make sure that what I was seeing was not a figment of my imagination.
He claims that after this, the soldiers began to get up and walk towards a bright light sitting in a nearby field, all of them shambling along like zombies as if in a trance. It would only get more bizarre and sinister from there. He continues:
The men, as if under orders began leaving the vehicles they been sleeping soundly in which were parked a little closer to the field than we were. They seemed to be in a trance and looked for all the world as if they were floating towards some object with very bright lights in the field. Obscured by the brightness of the light, I struggled to make out any details of what I was seeing though it looked like some kind of vehicle. The guys had been on exercise during the day and were exhausted, yet here they were all moving in unison, but in an apparent state of sleep. Joe and I had a panoramic view because we were on top of a vehicle on the camouflage nets and very much awake. I decided to investigate and see where the men had gone and started down from the vehicle, but Jo said no, stay put. Don’t go. I didn’t know then that he could see armed men coming out of the woods, walking in our direction. Our vehicle was parked about 100 yards in front of the woods and to the right was the field where I now believe a UFO had landed. As I looked up and saw Joe staring towards the wood I quickly stared in that direction and was suddenly confronted by a man dressed in black coveralls with some kind of small blue square shaped badge at the top of the right sleeve. It soon became apparent that there were several of these men similarly dressed all with guns and as far as I could tell they were all blonde. This guy in front of me had a gun that he was pointing in my direction. He spoke and said walk towards the light. I hesitated because I could still hear Joe telling me not to go.
The next thing Brooks would remember was standing on parade in the field with high-ranking officers standing in front of them. Oddly, some of the other men were dressed in what he calls “the old battle dress uniform from years before.” He couldn’t remember anything that had happened since he had been held at gunpoint, indeed he didn’t even know why he was standing out on that field, and he soon found that none of the other men did either. The military officers then told them all very sternly to never speak of anything that had happened the night before, they were all forced to sign non-disclosure documents, and that was that. Brooks would go on to have more strange experiences throughout his life, such as being harassed by the Freemasons and having a vision of a serial killer’s murders before they happened, and he wrote of all of this and more in a book entitled 44: Based on an Ex-Soldier’s True Story of Life-Long Encounters Involving Alien Abduction, co-authored by alien abductee expert Joanne Summerscales. It is all a very intense and otherworldly read, and it leaves us to wonder just how much any of this is true. Is any of this real, or is it just a fabricated fiction? There is no way to really be sure, and the story of Bill Brooks remains an intriguing conundrum.
Sitting within the Pyrenees, in France, and looming over the landscape around it is a peak called Pic de Bugarach or Pech de Bugarach. At 1,230 meters (4,040 ft) high, it is the tallest mountain of the Corbières Massif range, and it unique in that its top layer is an uplift from the Iberian plate and is oddly older than the bottom ones, giving it its nickname of “The Upside Down Mountain.” This is a land of breathtaking vistas, steep cliffs, snowy peaks, deep valleys, and sheer rocky faces, a place seemingly in a world unto itself. Tucked within the foothills of this majestic peak is a tiny little village of no more than 200 hundred people, by the name of Bugarach. It is a remote place, only accessible through treacherous winding roads surrounded by deep ravines, and most people would not even bother to brave coming here at all. It is a mostly forgotten place in a remote corner of the world, and there was a time when most people had never even heard of it. Yet, in the new millennium the village quickly became a famous destination and surrounded by talk of secret tunnels, UFO bases, and the end of the world.
Pic de Bugarach
The Pic de Bugarach has long had spooky lore attached to it. Rumors that there are networks of secret underground tunnels have long orbited the mountain, and for decades it has been a hotspot of UFO sightings. Due to this, some New Age groups came to believe that there were actual aliens living deep within the mountain, and that it serves as a sort of UFO base. This was enough to draw people interested in UFOs and aliens, and it was enough to allegedly warrant an investigation into the claims by the former French president François Mitterrand. The mountain began attracting New Agers, who the locals call “esoterics,” and who believe that the mountain had all manner of mystical powers. Various misfits, hippies, and UFO fanatics began to move into the village in droves, and bought up property there and the surrounding areas, but what really caused the Pic de Bugarach to hit the public consciousness was the time it became known as the only place that would survive the end of the world.
In the 2000s, the world began drawing nearer to the ominous date of December 21, 2012, which was when the Mayan calendar was supposed to end and thus herald in the end of the world. On this date it was all meant to end, the end of times predicted centuries ago, the final destination. Although it is unclear how Bugarach first came to be involved with ancient apocalyptic prophecies from half a world away, the village began to gather rumors that it was to be the only place on Earth that would be spared during the coming Armageddon. New Agers said it was the aliens living within the mountain that would save everyone by taking them off planet, while others claimed that it was because of the deep tunnels in its bowels, which would serve as a giant bunker, but whatever one believed, once the word got out that Bugarach was the place to be in 2012 the news hit like wildfire and a torrent of people began pouring in to this rural backwater speck on the map, to the tune of an estimated 20,000 pilgrims, survivalists, New Agers, and macabre curiosity seekers a year.
This sudden influx of visitors in the tiny village caused a whole slew of problems. Not only was it just too many people for small commune to handle, but there was pollution, vandalism, people trying to dig into the mountain to find the tunnels or build bunkers, and there was supposedly cult-like behavior and strange rituals that frightened the locals, and which even convinced some to move away altogether. The place became a circus, with all manner of weirdos and doomsday preachers wandering about, which only intensified as the December 21st and the perceived end of the world loomed inexorably closer, all fueled by Internet and news reports that were calling Bugarach the “the village at the end of the world”, the “chosen village”, and “the doomsday destination.” The media were having a field day with it all, and it got so bad that the French government’s dedicated watchdog on cults, known as Miviludes, was soon monitoring the situation, predicting that there would be cults looking to exploit the gullible, and even mass suicides when the day came and went without the world ending or the aliens making themselves known. The head of the Miviludes, Serge Blisko, would say of this possibility:
After these moments, there can be a danger of psychological collapse. If fragile, vulnerable people expect an event like the end of the world and it doesn’t happen, they can feel let down and in anguish.
Parts of the mountain would be closed down and some trouble makers sent away, but the people kept coming in, and there was even talk of the government possibly sending in actual military troops to quell the chaos, but then December 21st came and… well nothing really. When the predicted doomsdays date came and went, interest in the mountain waned, but this is not to say that it is over. More current predictions for the Mayan calendar end of the world place it in 2020, so perhaps this mystery mountain will gain more followers once again, looking to escape the incoming apocalypse.

During his time within the compartmentalized projects, he was introduced to the technology which could propel one forward or backward in time, to specific events.
He discloses the nature of this technology, how it works and the nature of time-travel missions. We also learn that humanity is evolving the ability to detect changes to our timelines and shifts in the reality we think we live in.
I found this figure in a hillside on Mars in the latest NASA rover photo today. The figure could be male or female, because often on earth ancient warrior chest armor of warriors often has an enhance chest area to make them look more muscular in battle and put fear into the enemy. The tall hat looks to be part of the armor and could be filled 30% with the persons head. Some aliens have an enlarged or elongated cranium compared to humans. Its placed on the side of a hill and reminds me of the time I lived near Mount Rushmore and saw the presidents faces on the side of the mountain. Its a typical thing to do for intelligent species...because being proud of certain individuals in your culture and carving them into stone makes them last forever. Their memory will last forever...as we see her today.
This is 100% proof that UFOs create and hide within clouds. This amazing photo of a rainbow UFO was taken this week in both Edmonds and Perrinville, Washington this week. The craft is lit up with rainbow colors and its leaving a trail from the diagonal decent it came from. The colors are probably due to the clouds around the UFO being faked and make of different particles than our natural clouds. Also if the UFO is inside the cloud and still is cloaked...than the cloak could interact with the particles during sunset causing the UFO to become visible for a few seconds to a few minutes.

Alien Sphere Caught On Doorbell Security Cam! Raw Footage! Hollywood, CA, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: March 10 2020
Location of sighting: Hollywood, California, USA
An cellphone alert sent a video of a home security camera doorbell that recorded a strange alien orb floating past his doorway. The person who owned the home is the executive director of the popular TV show The View. Whoopi Golberg jokes that it looks like some it could be anything, but believes it to be a ghost.
I however believe it to be a cloaked alien sphere that has come down to observe and record the residents in the Hollywood area to see how they act during the corona virus outbreak. With 2.9 million infected people in the US alone, this would be highly important research to aliens. How humans handle stress of new rules, new fears, a new way of life...is highest interest to them. Because thats how it would be if the world knew aliens exist.
Mysterious object of unknown origin falls from sky in Sanchore, India
Mysterious object of unknown origin falls from sky in Sanchore, India
An object of unknown origin weighing around 2.78 kg fell from the sky on June 19, 2020 in Sanchore town in Jalore district of Rajasthan, approximately 530 kilometres from state capital Jaipur.
According to locals, an explosive sound was heard when the object fell from the sky and was heard up to two kilometres away.
Not only the impact of the object resulted in a one-foot deep crater but it was emitting heat even three hours after it hit the ground. After the object cooled down, they put it in a jar.
The mysterious object which has metallic properties of Germanium, Platinum, Nickel and Iron, is currently at Sanchor police station.
The local administration has contacted the teams of geologists at Geographical Survey of India's Ahmedabad and Jaipur office, who will be examining it further.

Here’s one mind blowing video! But that’s just in case if it is real. This small UFO or orb was filmed by a person in Clinton, New York on 13th June 2020.
What do you guys think about this footage? I would really like to hear your comment!
Witness report:
The sighting really freaked me out i couldn’t believe what was happening. if i didn’t record it i would think it was a dream. my phone camera stopped working right before the ufo shot straight up in the air audio removed due to swearing
Earthquakes send sound waves through the Earth. Seismograms record the echoes as those waves travel along the core-mantle boundary, diffracting and bending around dense rock structures. New research from University of Maryland provides the first broad view of these structures, revealing them to be much more widespread than previously known. Credit: Doyeon Kim/University of Maryland
University of Maryland geophysicists analyzed thousands of recordings of seismic waves, sound waves traveling through the Earth, to identify echoes from the boundary between Earth's molten core and the solid mantle layer above it. The echoes revealed more widespread, heterogenous structures—areas of unusually dense, hot rock—at the core-mantle boundary than previously known.
Scientists are unsure of the composition of these structures, and previous studies have provided only a limited view of them. Better understanding their shape and extent can help reveal the geologic processes happening deep inside Earth. This knowledge may provide clues to the workings of plate tectonics and the evolution of our planet.
The new research provides the first comprehensive view of the core-mantle boundary over a wide area with such detailed resolution. The study was published in the June 12, 2020, issue of the journal Science.
The researchers focused on echoes of seismic waves traveling beneath the Pacific Ocean basin. Their analysis revealed a previously unknown structure beneath the volcanic Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific and showed that the structure beneath the Hawaiian Islands is much larger than previously known.
"By looking at thousands of core-mantle boundary echoes at once, instead of focusing on a few at a time, as is usually done, we have gotten a totally new perspective," said Doyeon Kim, a postdoctoral fellow in the UMD Department of Geology and the lead author of the paper. "This is showing us that the core-mantle boundary region has lots of structures that can produce these echoes, and that was something we didn't realize before because we only had a narrow view."
The above image shows how areas of hot, dense rock called ultralow-velocity zones deep inside the earth bend and diffract sound waves produced by earthquakes. In a new analysis of the diffracted waves recorded by seismograms, UMD geologists reveal a new ULVZ under Marquesas and a bigger ULVZ beneath Hawaii than previously known.

Earthquakes generate seismic waves below Earth's surface that travel thousands of miles. When the waves encounter changes in rock density, temperature or composition, they change speed, bend or scatter, producing echoes that can be detected. Echoes from nearby structures arrive more quickly, while those from larger structures are louder. By measuring the travel time and amplitude of these echoes as they arrive at seismometers in different locations, scientists can develop models of the physical properties of rock hidden below the surface. This process is similar to the way bats echolocate to map their environment.
For this study, Kim and his colleagues looked for echoes generated by a specific type of wave, called a shear wave, as it travels along the core-mantle boundary. In a recording from a single earthquake, known as a seismogram, echoes from diffracted shear waves can be hard to distinguish from random noise. But looking at many seismograms from many earthquakes at once can reveal similarities and patterns that identify the echoes hidden in the data.
Using a machine learning algorithm called Sequencer, the researchers analyzed 7,000 seismograms from hundreds of earthquakes of 6.5 magnitude and greater occurring around the Pacific Ocean basin from 1990 to 2018. Sequencer was developed by the new study's co-authors from Johns Hopkins University and Tel Aviv University to find patterns in radiation from distant stars and galaxies. When applied to seismograms from earthquakes, the algorithm discovered a large number of shear wave echoes.
"Machine learning in earth science is growing rapidly and a method like Sequencer allows us to be able to systematically detect seismic echoes and get new insights into the structures at the base of the mantle, which have remained largely enigmatic," Kim said.
The study revealed a few surprises in the structure of the core-mantle boundary.

"We found echoes on about 40% of all seismic wave paths," said Vedran Lekic, an associate professor of geology at UMD and a co-author of the study. "That was surprising because we were expecting them to be more rare, and what that means is the anomalous structures at the core-mantle boundary are much more widespread than previously thought."
The scientists found that the large patch of very dense, hot material at the core-mantle boundary beneath Hawaii produced uniquely loud echoes, indicating that it is even larger than previous estimates. Known as ultralow-velocity zones (ULVZs), such patches are found at the roots of volcanic plumes, where hot rock rises from the core-mantle boundary region to produce volcanic islands. The ULVZ beneath Hawaii is the largest known.
This study also found a previously unknown ULVZ beneath the Marquesas Islands.
"We were surprised to find such a big feature beneath the Marquesas Islands that we didn't even know existed before," Lekic said. "This is really exciting, because it shows how the Sequencer algorithm can help us to contextualize seismogram data across the globe in a way we couldn't before."
Space tourists will soon have another option at their disposal, if all goes according to plan.
The new company Space Perspective aims to send paying customers and research payloads to the stratosphere aboard Spaceship Neptune, a balloon-borne pressurized capsule that's scheduled to make its first test flights early next year.
"We’re committed to fundamentally changing the way people have access to space — both to perform much-needed research to benefit life on Earth and to affect how we view and connect with our planet," Space Perspective founder and co-CEO Jane Poynter said in a statement today (June 18), when the company announced its plans.
"Today, it is more crucial than ever to see Earth as a planet, a spaceship for all humanity and our global biosphere," Poynter said, referencing the "overview effect" commonly cited by astronauts who have flown to space.

Riding in style
The Spaceship Neptune capsule can accommodate a pilot and eight passengers, who will ride in style. The craft will feature seats, a bar, a bathroom and huge windows that will allow for great views of Earth against the blackness of space, company representatives said.
The craft will launch from the old Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on Florida's Space Coast. Spaceship Neptune will head east out over the Atlantic Ocean on winter flights and west over the Gulf of Mexico during the summer, a seasonal shift dictated by the prevailing winds.
Spaceship Neptune will spend about two hours getting up to a maximum altitude of about 100,000 feet (30,000 meters), pulled gently upward by a 650-foot-tall (200 m) balloon filled with buoyant hydrogen.
"Helium has become quite difficult to obtain," Space Perspective founder and co-CEO Taber MacCallum said during a news conference today, explaining the choice of lift gas. "It's used for a lot of medical practices and for launching rockets.
The capsule will spend about two hours high in the stratosphere, above 99% of Earth's atmosphere, then will spend another two hours coming back down again for a total flight time of six hours. Spaceship Neptune will be fished out of the sea by a recovery boat, much like SpaceX Crew Dragon capsules are today. The Spaceship Neptune capsule will be reused, but a new balloon will be needed for each mission.
Space Perspective has not yet set a price for this balloon experience, but a ticket will likely sell for around $125,000 initially, MacCallum and Poynter said. That's about half the most recent stated price for a ride aboard Virgin Galactic's suborbital SpaceShipTwo space plane, which is expected to begin commercial operations soon. (Jeff Bezos' spaceflight company, Blue Origin, is also developing a suborbital space tourism vehicle, called New Shepard, which could get and running soon as well.)

Spaceship Neptune's gentle ride should make it a viable option for a wide variety of people, including those who are a bit long in the tooth or not in great physical condition.
"That is really what this is all about," Poynter said during today's news conference. "Everybody should be able to see the Earth from space."
Not every passenger will necessarily need to have deep pockets, either. The nonprofit Space for Humanity has chosen Space Perspective as a "preferred partner" for its Citizen Astronaut Program, which will pay for the flights of selected folks who will serve as space ambassadors after they return to Earth.
"Space for Humanity is cultivating a movement to expand access to space for all of humanity, and this partnership represents a big leap in making that happen," Dylan Taylor, founder of Space for Humanity and CEO of Voyager Space Holdings, said in the same statement.
Space Perspective is also working with NASA. The company signed a Space Act Agreement to use test facilities at KSC and leverage agency expertise in fields such as wind and trajectory analysis, MacCallum said. And Space Perspective has signed a lease agreement with Space Florida, which operates the old Shuttle Landing Facility and associated sites under an agreement with NASA.
The concept for Spaceship Neptune has been decades in the making, dating back to Poynter and MacCallum's two years inside the Biosphere 2 research facility in southern Arizona in the early 1990s. More recently, Poynter and MacCallum helped to develop the concept at one of their previous companies, Arizona-based World View Enterprises.
World View's balloon-borne capsule was called Voyager, and tickets to ride it were initially pegged at $75,000 apiece. But Voyager's capsule design was quite different, Poynter stressed. And Voyager would have descended under a parafoil and touched down on terra firma, unlike Spaceship Neptune, which is entirely balloon-borne and will make ocean splashdowns.
"There's very little technology overlap," Poynter said during today's news conference.
World View does not seem to be actively developing Voyager at the moment, concentrating instead primarily on its robotic Stratollite balloon system.
Not just Florida?
Spaceship Neptune will initially launch from Jacksonville's Cecil Spaceport in addition to KSC, Poynter and MacCallum said. But the company eventually plans to lift off from a variety of additional locales as well, including international spaceports and sites in Alaska and Hawaii. Ocean platforms may also one day be departure points for the craft, MacCallum said.
Space Perspective still has quite a bit to figure out; the company has not yet decided where it will manufacture Spaceship Neptune capsules or even where its headquarters will be located, Poynter said. But it plans to get up and running quickly, with flight tests beginning in the first quarter of 2021.
And the company is encouraging people to sign up to fly already, even though ticket prices haven't been officially set yet.
"We're already giving people seat allocations, even though you don't have to pay any money now," Poynter said. "That way, the early birds get at the front of the line."

The as-yet unnamed craft toted lots of experiments up during last month's test flight to orbit.
A first glimpse inside the prototype of China's next-generation crew-carrying spacecraft has been provided in Beijing following a successful uncrewed test flight in May.
The capsule, which has not yet been named, launched on a Long March 5B rocket from Wenchang on May 5, carrying out a first uncrewed test for future deep-space missions.
The new two-module spacecraft performed well in orbit, and the crew capsule returned to Earth on May 8, testing a high-speed atmospheric reentry that the spacecraft needs to survive in order to safely bring astronauts home from the moon.

The crew capsule survived temperatures of around 5,432 degrees Fahrenheit (3,000 degrees Celsius) during reentry.
The capsule provides 459 cubic feet (13 cubic meters) of internal space, allowing six or seven astronauts to ride it. China’s current crew spacecraft, the Shenzhou, can carry three astronauts.
A look inside the new craft shows a living zone on the left, including a toilet and a folding dining table. Storage bags and racks on the right were present only to test transport capacity during the test mission.
The test flight overall verified numerous technologies and returned data for a range of experiments, Chinese officials said.
"We opened the return capsule and retrieved the data from the black box, including the data about the force and heat, as well as the temperature data related to aerodynamic heating, so we can get more data to test our reentry and return technologies and all other critical technologies," Guo Bin, a designer of the next-generation crew spaceship with the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), told Chinese media.
Guo said the flight proved new heat shielding technologies and aerodynamic configurations of the spacecraft.

Experiments aboard the spacecraft included a 3D printing system for microgravity environments, gigabit-level high-speed communications between the ground and the spacecraft, and an on-orbit leakage and collision detection experiment that uses sound waves.
The crew capsule also carried nearly 4.4 lbs. (2 kilograms) of seeds for space irradiation experiments. Cosmic radiation, microgravity and other factors combine to generate mutations of the crops’ genetic material, which may prove beneficial and lead to the cultivation of new varieties.
The mission was overall a huge success for China, officials said. The launch qualified the Long March 5B to begin launching modules for the planned Chinese space station. The performance of the new-generation spacecraft means a crewed test could follow to the station in the coming years.
Two versions of the new spacecraft are in development. One will be capable of carrying six astronauts, or three astronauts and 1,100 lbs. (500 kg) of cargo to the space station. The other will be capable of more demanding missions to deep space, which involve harsher radiation environments and greater reentry velocities.
Do extraterrestrials have rhythm? If they do, do they also have starlight, daisies in green pastures and sweet dreams? OK, they may not sing Earth jazz standards but if fast radio bursts are being generated by aliens, they definitely have some sort of rhythm because astronomers recently confirmed the first FRBs consistently following a regular rhythm over an 18 month period. Are these FRBs messages from a female alien with rhythm looking for “my man”?
“In 38 bursts recorded from 16 September 2018 to 4 February 2020 UTC, we find that all bursts arrive in a five-day phase window, and 50 per cent of the bursts arrive in a 0.6-day phase window. Our results suggest a mechanism for periodic modulation either of the burst emission itself or through external amplification or absorption, and disfavour models invoking purely sporadic processes.”
In a new study published this week in the journal Nature, astronomers using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) – an interferometric radio telescope in British Columbia – determined that FRB 180916.J0158+65 emits fast radio bursts on a 16-day schedule, with 4 days of fast bursts followed by 12 days of silence.
“This FRB we’re reporting now is like clockwork. It’s the most definitive pattern we’ve seen from one of these sources. And it’s a big clue that we can use to start hunting down the physics of what’s causing these bright flashes, which nobody really understands.”
“… what’s causing these bright flashes, which nobody really understands.” Kiyoshi Masui, assistant professor of physics in MIT’s Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research and a member of the CHIME/FRB Collaboration that published the study, admits this new information still doesn’t explain FRBs, which means it could still be aliens, right? The study says it found no ”smoking gun” and instead offers some theories. One is a neutron star that is spinning and wobbling is a state known as precession, with the wobble defining the periods of bursts. Another is a neutron star orbiting another neutron star or a black hole, with one half of the binary pair blocking the other’s signal.
The latest theory that the FRB source is a magnetar, a neutron star with an intense magnetic field. Astronomers using CHIME proposed this after finding an FRB in our own Milky Way galaxy that appears to be flaring out of a magnetar. In the case of FRB 180916.J0158+65 and its 16-day cycle, this would mean an unusually slow magnetar.
The CHIME/FRB Collaboration study proposed one more theory:
“But the final possibility is the most intriguing: that long-term periodicity is the norm for repeating FRBs. If so, then such periodicity might be at the heart of the FRB mechanism — and it would mean that these natural phenomena are defeating the ability of the human imagination to explain it. More-creative ideas would be needed to identify the missing link between theory and observation.”
Other than ‘Area 51’, no word or phrase generates as much UFO interest in the paranormal world and in the mainstream as does ‘Roswell’ – the New Mexico town elevated to prominence by the alleged UFO crash in 1947 which occurred 75 miles away but was first announced by personnel at the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF), linking it to the incident to this day. So, when the president of the United States mentions it in an interview, millions of ears perk up higher than Mr. Spock’s. What was President Trump alluding to when he said:
“I won’t talk to you about what I know about it, but it’s very interesting.”
There is no question that President Trump is interested in outer space, space travel and space defense. During his time in office, he created the Space Force as a military branch, attended the launch of the first manned flight by a private company, expressed interest in sending humans to Mars and criticized past administrations for not doing enough to encourage space exploration. However, despite the fact that his 2016 opponent (Hillary Clinton) and her campaign manager (John Podesta) both promised disclosure of government UFO files if they won and the government officially declared a set of USS Nimitz pilot videos as UFO sightings, President Trump has expressed little interest in UFOs or disclosure – full or partial.
“People are saying they’re seeing UFOs. Do I believe it? Not particularly.”
The Tic Tac UFO
That was his response in an interview in 2019 when asked about the Nimitz UFO videos. That’s quite different that what he said yesterday. What has changed? Perhaps it was the interviewer – the president answered questions on ‘Triggered’, a podcast hosted by his son, Donald Trump Jr. Perhaps it was the intended purpose of the interview – Father’s Day, not a campaign Q-and-A. Or perhaps the president has finally recognized there are a lot of people – including many in his base – who are interested in UFOs, alien encounters with humans and government disclose of these incidents, not just Roswell.
“So many people ask me that question. There are millions and millions of people who want to go [to Roswell] and see it.”
See what? Not the city itself, although it’s a pleasant town, home of the International UFO Museum And Research Center and, for space buffs not necessarily interested in UFOs, the place where Robert Goddard conducted early rocket tests. No, they want to see whole or partial spacecrafts, dead or alive aliens, clear or fuzzy photos, complete or redacted documents and the like. Knowing this, Don Jr. pressed on and asked if Dad would release any of that.
“Well, I’ll have to think about that one.”
Think about what?
Come on! Was this just a fluff interview or does the president really have “interesting” info on the Roswell incident? It’s not like he hasn’t been around UFOs. There were reports about UFOs following his own helicopter on the campaign trail and on the day of the inauguration. And the president has often mentioned his uncle, John G. Trump, who was a professor at M.I.T. and a aide to the National Defense Research Committee who was called in to analyze the contents of Nikola Tesla’s apartment after Tesla died. Doesn’t this motivate him to show his tech genes and release some secret files … or at least give some better hints to their contents?
Sadly, the president’s frustrating comments do little to advance the conversation about UFOs, alien contact or disclosure. Perhaps someone should remind him about his former opponent’s commitment to the cause … or mention that John Podesta also worked for President Obama but nothing was released during that administration. Would that be motivation enough?
There are plenty of reporters and writers in the field who would love to conduct that interview.
Astronomen van de University of British Columbia (UBC) baseerden zich op gegevens van de Kepler-ruimtetelescoop om tot de schatting van zes miljard aardachtige exoplaneten in ons melkwegstelsel te komen. Het gaat om rotsachtige planeten van ongeveer dezelfde omvang als de aarde, die in de ‘bewoonbare zone’ rond een zonachtige ster cirkelen en die in theorie dus vloeibaar water kunnen herbergen. Met andere woorden: planeten waarop leven mogelijk zou zijn.
Co-auteur en astronoom aan de UBC, Jaymie Matthews, co-auteur van de nieuwe studie in The Astronomical Journal, legt uit dat er ongeveer 400 miljard sterren bestaan, waarvan zo’n zeven procent (28 miljard) van type G zijn. Rond ongeveer een vijfde daarvan kan een aardachtige exoplaneet cirkelen. “Dat betekent dat minder dan zes miljard sterren mogelijk aardachtige planeten in onze Melkweg hebben.”
Ruwweg is er volgens de berekeningen van de onderzoekers 18 procent kans dat zo’n aardachtige planeet rond een zonachtige ster - ook hoofdreeksster type G genoemd - zou draaien. Of nog: voor elke vijf van die zonachtige sterren in de Melkweg zou er één aardachtige planeet kunnen bestaan. Eerdere schattingen gingen uit van 0,02 potentieel leefbare planeten per zonachtige ster tot meer dan 1.
De nieuwe studie maakt een eerder lage schatting. “Mijn berekeningen zetten de bovengrens op 0,18 aardachtige planeten per type G-hoofdreeksster”, zegt hoofdauteur en UBC-onderzoekster Michelle Kunimoto. “Inschatten hoe vaak verschillende soorten planeten rond verschillende sterren voorkomen, kan een belangrijke invloed hebben op theorieën rond de vorming van planeten en hun evolutie, en kan toekomstige missies om exoplaneten te vinden helpen optimaliseren.”
De ruimtetelescoop Kepler is handig om planeten die op korte afstand rond hun ster draaien te ontdekken, maar minder geschikt om planeten op langere afstand ervan te spotten. De zogenaamde bewoonbare zone van sterren zoals onze zon ligt op een eerder grote afstand van de moederster en aardachtige exoplaneten zijn vrij klein. De Kepler-telescoop kan dus makkelijk heel wat aardachtige werelden missen. Nieuwe technologieën en instrumenten zullen in de toekomst dan ook een nauwkeurigere inschatting kunnen maken van het aantal aardachtige planeten in de kosmos. De schatting van zes miljard toont alvast aan dat de aarde en haar bewoners vermoedelijk niet zo uniek zijn.
