On September 14, 2020 hundreds of people witnessed a very strange craft in the sky over New Jersey.

Many people who stopped their cars to see and to film the UFO wonder whether the UFO is a new man-made spaceship developed using reverse extraterrestrial technology or a real UFO, piloted by aliens, that descended over New Jersey.

Since the McGuire Air-force bases are nearby, could it be that the people have seen a new military spaceship which have been tested? 

Who knows, although it doesn't seem likely that they test such advanced technology in front of so many people or it must be that they want to test people's reactions when confronted with an unknown spaceship.

If that were the case what more can we expect soon?

Footage of the likeness of a Hogwarts-style castle appearing to float in the sky has caused a sensation on Chinese social media.

The ghostly image of what looked like the iconic Hogwarts School from the world of Harry Potter was spotted hovering above modern buildings in Jinan, Shandong Province in eastern China on September 11, 2020.

Despite people suggesting that the castle in the sky is proof that a parallel universe exists, local media reported that the sight was a natural phenomenon called a Fata Morgana or Mirage.

The sky phenomenon occurs because rays of light are bent when they pass through air layers of different temperatures in a steep thermal inversion where an atmospheric duct has formed, therefore it is quite possible that a building nearby matches the strange phenomenon in the sky.

5 o’clock news caught UFOs maneuvering over Corpus Christi, Texas | September 2020

This was shown on KIII 3 News at the end of 5 O’clock news earlier this month.

This was added by a person who spotted these UFOs: 

Let me edit and explain. This was at the end of the 5 o’clock news, the closing showing on their live camera of our beautiful city. I wasn’t expecting this response so I didn’t get the right corner of the tv screen where it showed a few more of the same things flying around. No, I am not showing you my ceiling fan reflecting with the blades spinning. Lol  That’s funny. Soooo……So what was that at the end of the news?

14 Of The Strangest Things Astronauts Claimed To See in Space

by Ava Lochlann 

The skies are filled with mystery, and we know this. We see strange things that are explainable and unexplainable in the sky all the time. The typical airplane, the star, and star patterns such as the big dipper. Every once in a while we’re lucky enough to see a shooting star. But what is really out there? In the beyond. UFO’s, space stations, entire galaxies of alien beings? Who really knows. What we do know is that Astronauts have some interesting stories to share.

We also know that astronauts can be hit or miss. Neil Armstrong punching people in the face for asking about the moon landing for example. We have to take everything with a grain of salt. If all of these astronauts were in fact in space, their psychological state of mind could very well be different up there, then here on earth. We’ll never know, unless we make the trip up up and away ourselves.

There are some strange and eerie claims that have come from astronauts in space. This is a list of those stories, those accounts.

1. Maj. Gordon Cooper Watched A Glowing Green Orb Approach Him From Pitch Black

Maj. Gordon Cooper’s took a solo journey around Earth, during this time he encountered more than his fair share of experiences. While he was nearing the end of his 22-orbit trip around the planet, he looked and noticed a glowing green object approaching the his capsule, the mercury capsule that he was flying in. In this case, the fast approach of the object was actually picked up by the closest tracking station which was in Muchea, Australia.

Cooper described the incident to the United Nations by sharing:  

I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets… Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs… I did have occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation of many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in fighter formation, generally from east to west over Europe.

2. Neil Armstrong Thinks He Saw A UFO Parking Lot

Neil Armstrong is quite the character. Spell his name backwards with initial to name and you get Alien. (Armstrong, Lien) oddly enough. Known for punching people in the face who question him about his trip to the moon, he has other stories also. According to one source Aliens and Man: A Synopsis of Facts and Beliefs, there is a rumor that Armstrong may have sent a secret message to NASA during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Neil Armstrong allegedly said: “These babies were huge, sir! Enormous! Oh, God! You wouldn’t believe it! … I’m telling you there are other spacecraft out here … lined up on the far side of the crater’s edge! … They’re on the moon watching us!” 

There are many stories and tales that are associated with the first lunar landing, if it even occurred. Armstrong was very reserved about his experiences in space and never commented on this specific rumor, possibly because it never happened or possibly because he never even really went to space, and the people asking him about it trigger him too much for him to think and speak rationally.

3. Yang Liwei Claims He Heard A Knock Outside His Ship

In 2003, Yang Liwei was known to be stated as the first astronaut sent into space by the Chinese space program. He’s claimed he heard “someone knocking the body of the spaceship just as knocking an iron bucket with a wooden hammer” on his maiden flight. He then looked outside of the porthole on the ship but was unable to find the source of this knocking sound. Considering the theory that space is a vacuum, it was an even weirder event considering that he had heard a sound from outside the ship. 

Oddly enough, Liwei is not the only one with this claim, either; other Chinese astronauts heard the same sound on missions in 2005 and 2008.

4. Vladimir Kovalyonok May Have Seen A UFO Explode

Maj. Gen. Vladimir Kovalyonok was one of the members of the crew actively manning the Salyut VI space station in 1981. “When I was working at the Salyut orbital station, I saw something strange in a porthole one day. The object was the size of a finger. I was surprised to see it was an orbiting object,” said Kovalyonok.

He continued:

It was hard to determine the size and the speed of an object in space. That is why I can not say exactly, which size it actually was. [My partner Viktor] Savinykh prepared to take a picture of it, but the UFO suddenly exploded. Only clouds of smoke were left. The object split into two interconnected pieces. It was reminiscent of a dumbbell. I reported about it to the Mission Control immediately.

Kovalyonok is one of the few known astronauts to see something completely unexplainable in space and share it publicly in the open afterward.

5. Story Musgrave Caught A Glimpse Of A Space Eel

Story Musgrave, a NASA astronaut made the claim that he saw eel-like tubes swim through space. In one interview, he explains that he saw this creature two separate times. Some people immediately dismiss this as space brain, in space – ot that it was possibly some type of hose or hose-like contraption that detached from the spaceship – Musgrave still remains adamant that the eel, which was white in color also had its own propulsion technique.  

6. Musa Manarov Shot Footage Of What Was An Alleged UFO

During a Russian space station mission in 1991, also known as a Mir, Musa Manarov was simply watching a visiting space capsule dock nearby theirs. He was filming it approach when he spotted an object that looked like it was coming off, or detaching from the spacecraft. Manarov knew nothing that could come loose, and as he continued to watch the object, it floated downward and away from the capsule, as shown in the footage above.

Manarov still cannot explain what he really saw, but he knows for sure that it was not space junk, as some people have claimed.

7. Leroy Chiao Saw Creepy Lights Speed Past Him

Leroy Chiao was the commander of the International Space Station in 2005. While he was on a spacewalk, Chiao saw white lights that were aligned in an odd and unexplainable upside-down check formation fly by right past him. Some believe that a string of fishing boats along the cost of South America is the best explanation for these lights, but Chiao was purportedly 230 miles above Earth when this happened. Those would be very strong lights to see from 230 miles away.

Chiao told HuffPost, “I’m skeptical of claims that we’ve been visited by aliens from another planet or other dimension, but I don’t rule it out 100 percent.”

8. Astronauts Witnessed Fire Burn Without A Flame

From 2009 to 2012, there are claims that astronauts lit things on fire in space. Simply because they were pyromaniacs, just kidding. They were curious as to how fire behaved in the cosmos. They found that fire can burn at a lower temperature and with less oxygen and can also burn without a flame in a microgravity environment.

Forman Williams, the project leader on the experiments, told Space.com: “Thus far, the most surprising thing we’ve observed is continued apparent burning of heptane droplets after flame extinction under certain conditions. Currently, this is entirely unexplained.”

9. Space Theorist Believes Alan Bean Saw Glass Domes On The Moon

Richard C. Hoagland, a proponent of alternate space theories, believes that Alan Bean saw glass domes from a long lost extinct alien civilization on the moon. In an interview, Bean shared space as looking like “black, patent-leather shoes” from the surface of the moon. Hoagland continued: “Space should be velvet-black. It should be inky-black. It should be infinity, unending, deep, endless black. It shouldn’t be shiny.”

Hoagland concluded that the only explanation for Bean’s description, was that he was seeing space through the reflection of a glass dome.

10. Apollo 11, 12 and 13 Astronauts Saw Dazzling Light Shows

While on the Apollo 11 mission, astronauts reported seeing “light flashes” in their eyes. Strange, especially as the crews of Apollo 12 and Apollo 13 were warned about this and reported that they also saw strange bursts of light, even with their eyes were closed! They created and conducted experiments on the next four Apollo missions to try to figure out what was causing these weird visions.

NASA theorizes that the astronauts were seeing cosmic rays. They believe we do not see cosmic rays on Earth because they are absorbed by our atmosphere.

11. James McDivitt Saw an All White UFO

While James McDivitt was on the Gemini 4 mission in 1965, this astronaut thought he saw a UFO. In an interview with NASA, McDivitt explained:

I looked outside, just glanced up, and there was something out there. It had a geometrical shape similar to a beer can or a pop can, and with a little thing like maybe like a pencil or something sticking out of it. That relative size, dimensionally. It was all white.

The press got the story and ran with it, claiming McDivitt had seen a UFO. Oddly enough, years later, after “reviewing a photograph” he had “never before seen”, McDivitt changed his tune and said this was simply a reflection of some bolts in the window glass.

He said:

I went back and then I saw what the thing was. And really what it was, was a reflection of the bolts in the windows. The windows were made up of about three or four or five panes of glass, so that if one got broken we still had some pressure integrity. And these little things, when the Sun shined on them right, they’d multiply the images off the different panes. And I’m quite sure that that’s what this thing was.

Maybe NASA wanted the dialogue changed and to keep it hush hush.

12. Christopher Cassidy Saw An Unidentified Flying Object

Back in 2013, astronaut Christopher Cassidy was aboard the International Space Station, he spotted a strange and mysterious illuminated object floating past his window. Cassidy then contacted Mission Control to report the sighting.

NASA identified it as an antenna cover from Russia’s Zvezda service module, but space theorists remain convinced that the object was something extraterrestrial.

13. John Glenn Saw Small Glowing Dots That Mimicked Fireflies

John Glenn was an astronaut who flew on the Friendship 7 spacecraft in February 1962. He noticed something strange outside his window while in orbit. He reported this right away to NASA. He reported that he was watching what appeared to be a group of small glowing fireflies dancing outside his window. Once again, NASA knows everything (or claims to) and it took a confused and perplexed Glenn and worried NASA (because they need an explanation for everything) almost a year to figure out what they believed these little lights were.

NASA was concerned that these glowing dots were specs of metal actually coming off a malfunctioning piece of equipment on the ship. They now believe that these lights were actually frozen droplets of condensation that were shifting and cracking as the spaceship traveled. Seems off to me. Hard for me to believe frozen droplets of condensation will light up like fireflies. What do you think?

14. Samantha Cristoforetti Saw The ISS Glowing Orange

European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti was on her way to the International Space Station for the first time when she saw the normally gray ISS was covered orange light, in 2014. It is now believed that this was simply the sun reflecting off the solar panels and onto the space station, something only a handful of astronauts had ever seen. Cristoforetti wrote about the experience in a blog post, she wrote, “The enormous solar panels were inundated with a blaze of orange light, vivid, warm, almost alien.”

Space theorists latched onto the words “almost alien.” They began speculating that the solar panel reflection was a cover story and she had, in fact, seen a UFO. You can see the ISS change colors to orange at around the 11:34 mark in the video below.

Some space theorists, conspiracy theorists and everyday people believe that NASA has a hidden agenda. There are many theories. NASA has a over a $25 billion dollar per year budget. Where is all that money going? What are we actually achieving with it? How is our lives here on earth benefited from space travel and exploration? is this all just an effort to abandon earth once we destroy it with our behavior?

UFO sighting: Planet-sized 'space station' is '100% proof' of ET activity, claims hunter

UFO hunters claim to have found certain evidence of alien activity after spotting what they believe is a planet-sized "space station".

By SEBASTIAN KETTLEY

The supposed alien UFO was spotted after analysing photos of the night sky compiled by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Google Sky. What first appears to be nothing more than a mess of blue pixels, could be an extraterrestrial discovery of epic proportions. According to self-titled UFO expert and conspiracy theorist Scott C Waring, the mystery object is a planet-sized space station constructed by immortal alien beings.

"Why limit yourself to a round planet when you can make any design you desire?

"Here we see a giant blue planet size space station."

The object in question was found using Google Sky - a celestial map of the night sky that reveals the locations of stars, constellations, galaxies and planets.

He said: "I found it using Google Sky map, just copy paste the coordinates into it and you will find it.

"It's the same map as Google Earth and Mars maps, but you have to hit the button and choose sky."

However, this is not the first time he has made such bizarre claims about alien life.

In May this year, the UFO hunter shared photo evidence of what he claimed was a "fleet of UFOs" coming out of an underground base.

And two years ago, he shared a pixelated photo of what he believed was a Borg-like alien cube near the Sun.

He said of his latest discovery: "How could such a huge constructed object even exist?

"Easy, you think in terms of 100 years being a long time... relative to our lifespan.

"However many alien species live forever, unless an accident befalls them. So time means little to them.

As far as we can tell, Earth is the only place in the solar system where advanced life has developed.

But there is an explanation for why Mr Waring so frequently spots aliens and UFOs in unrelated phenomena - pareidolia.

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
— Venus (Shocking Blue)

While David Bowie wrote the definitive song about life on Mars, Venus is more the subject of love ballads. That may change soon as astrobiologists have discovered a biosignature indicating the possible presence of life on Venus. Should we start writing songs or preparing for an invasion?

Not this Venus.

“But according to several sources knowledgeable with the details of the announcement (who are not under embargo) phosphine has been discovered in the atmosphere of Venus. Its presence suggests – suggests – some strange chemistry going on since phosphine is something you’d only expect to see if life (as we know it) was involved.”

The website Astrobiology.com is on top of this big announcement by the Royal Astronomical Society (published in the journal Nature Astronomy) about the discovery of phosphine on Venus. Phosphine (PH3) is a toxic gas whose odor has been compared to the smell of rotting fish. Does this mean Venus is covered with dead fish which were once live fish? No, but it may mean the planet has certain kinds of microbes that live in oxygen-free environments and emit phosphine. Venus has no oxygen but it has phosphorous, so connecting these dots doesn’t seem like much of a stretch. However, phosphine can be created in other ways (in a lab, for example), so skeptics need more proof.

“From what we’re told the researchers have concluded that abiotic mechanisms (i.e. ones that do not involve life) that might produce phosphine cannot account for the large amount that they have detected. The phosphine has been detected in the region within the atmosphere of Venus that is considered by some to be potentially habitable.”

Not this kind of ‘Venus’ life form.

This may not be an “Ah-ha!” revelation, but it at least deserves an “ah.” Researchers at MIT agree and issued a video explaining it in non-astrobiologist terms. This goes with an MIT “hypothesis article” published earlier in the journal Astrobiology which proposes that researchers should be looking for life in the clouds of Venus rather than on the surface of the planet because could free-float there like water droplets, never getting heavy enough to fall to the ground. The clouds could also have the nutrients needed for them to survive. This “Venusian Aerial Biosphere” is quite possibly the best case scenario for life on Venus. Now all we need is a way to search for it beyond the Atacama (ALMA) telescope array in Chile and the James Clerk Maxwell telescope in Hawaii which found the phosphine.

“Short for Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography & Spectroscopy, VERITAS is being considered for selection under NASA’s Discovery Program and would be managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. The project’s partners include Lockheed Martin, the Italian Space Agency, the German Space Agency, and the French Space Agency.”

NASA agrees and has proposed the VERITAS mission to search the clouds of Venus for life forms, possibly leaving as soon as 2026.

Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire
With the microbes you desire.

Apologies to Shocking Blue. If only David Bowie were here … he’d know what to sing.

Just recently there has been some new debate on my 2020 book, The Rendlesham Forest UFO Conspiracy. No doubt, it’s because the 40th anniversary of the case is getting closer and closer. Indeed, I’m sure that when December of this year comes around we’ll be seeing a lot of debate concerning the incident(s). As for that new debate, it revolves around the specific issue of why I am so sure that the Rendlesham affair was a secret experiment, rather than an extraterrestrial event. There is one thing that surfaces over and over again in the story. It’s the matter of drugs. And nothing less than mind-altering drugs. Take a look at most UFO events and you’ll see witness testimony, documentation, and sometimes photos. It’s rare that drugs surface in relation to UFOs. In the Rendlesham Forest case, however, they are all over the place. Let’s take a look at the evidence. In my book, I point out that one of the key installations involved in the experiments was the Maryland-based Edgewood Arsenal. Fortwiki provides the following history on the Edgewood Arsenal: “A chemical weapons arsenal established in 1917 and located in the present day Edgewood area of the Aberdeen Proving Ground. The Edgewood area is about 13,000 acres on the west side of the Bush River that was used for the development and testing of chemical agent munitions. This area was originally a separate U.S. Army installation known as Edgewood Arsenal until October 1971 when it merged with Aberdeen Proving Ground and became the Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground.”

Not only that: On December 9, 2012, The New Yorker ran an article titled “Operation Delirium: Decades after a risky Cold War experiment, a scientist lives with secrets.” The scientist was one Colonel James S. Ketchum, who spent approximately two decades in the U.S. Army. Ketchum “became the military’s leading expert in a secret Cold War experiment to fight enemies with clouds of psychochemicals that temporarily incapacitate the mind – causing, in the words of one ranking officer, a ‘selective malfunctioning of the human machine.'” It turns out that this highly classified program of mind-control was secretly run inside the confines of the Edgewood Arsenal.

Moving on: for years there have been rumors that throughout the several days of secret activity in the forest there was a presence from a certain facility situated in Wiltshire, U.K.: Porton Down. As the BBC note, U.K. military personnel were regularly used in secret mind-altering experiments at Porton Down in the 1950s and 1960s. The BBC expands on this: “Porton Down was set up in 1916. It was a center designed to test chemical and biological weapons. Nerve gases such as Sarin and CS gas were tested on volunteer servicemen. Servicemen were offered around £2 and three days leave as an incentive to take part in tests. Very few servicemen knew what they were volunteering for and some were even told it was research into the cure for the common cold. In 1953 it is alleged that serviceman Ronald Maddison died after taking part in a Sarin gas experiment. In 1962, one of Porton Down’s own scientists, Geoffrey Bacon died of the plague. Since the end of WWII, 20,000 people have taken part in experiments at Porton Down.” That Porton Down had a presence at Rendlesham Forest is, at the least, intriguing.

One of the weirdest aspects of the Rendlesham Forest case is the rumor that at the height of the events a local prison was due to be evacuated. A further rumor suggests that aerosol-based hallucinogens were released in the woods as a part of the experiments. It’s said that it was the possibility of those same hallucinogens reaching the prison that provoked significant worry. As history has shown, the prison (called HM Hollesley Bay) was not evacuated. That such plans were almost put in place, however, adds yet another drug-based aspect to the overall story. People in Hazmat outfits suddenly appearing on the scene, adds even more intrigue to the story. As I said at the start of this article, there are few UFO cases that have such ties to the domain of drugs. The Rendlesham Forest affair, however, is significantly different. Drugs appear all over the place in the case. Why might that be? The answer is simple: the case was not a UFO event. It was an experiment; a highly-classified one. And it played with minds to a dangerous degree.

‘Oumuamua is the interstellar space object that defies classification. It has at various times been thought to be a comet, an asteroid, an alien spaceship, a hydrogen iceberg, a light sail, a piece of a planet and probably a few more things. At some point, if a concrete identification is not determined, some proposal will finally jump the shark into absurd irrelevance. That day may have arrived.

“We propose that ‘Oumuamua’s properties could be explained as those of a fractal dust aggregate (a “dust bunny”) formed in the inner coma of a fragmenting exo-Oort cloud comet. Such fragments could serve as accretion sites by accumulating dust particles, resulting in the formation of a fractal aggregate. The fractal aggregate eventually breaks off from the fragment due to hydrodynamic stress. With their low density and tenuously bound orbits, most of these cometary fractal aggregates are then ejected into interstellar space by radiation pressure.”

Early ‘Oumuamua hunter?

You read that right … ‘Oumuamua may be a dust bunny. This was proposed by an esteemed astronomer — Dr. Jane X. Luu, co-winner of the 2012 Kavli Prize “for discovering and characterizing the Kuiper Belt and its largest members, work that led to a major advance in the understanding of the history of our planetary system.” As befitting of her experience, the intro to her new paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters and reviewed in Universe Today uses plenty of impressive terms like “fractal aggregate,” exo-Oort cloud” and “hydrodynamic stress,” but all of them disappear under the massive shadow of “dust bunny.”

dust bunny
a loose, tangled ball of dust, lint, hair, etc., especially as found under a low piece of furniture.

How does one go from something fluffy found under a bed that is held together by static electricity and moves away with the slightest of breezes to avoid capture by a mop to an interstellar object? Dr. Luu and her colleagues at the University of Oslo are using the simple dust bunny to explain their new concept – the cometary fractal. They propose that ‘Oumuamua was once part of a larger long-period comet (one with a long orbit, like those in the Oort cloud of our own solar system) that broke off and began accumulating particles of itself, the bigger comet and other cosmic dust. They stick around to form a fractal body that would be flung away from the exo-Oort cloud and towards another solar system. Lacking much density, it would be easily blown around by solar radiation.

Yeah, right.

Believe it or not, Luu’s dust bunny theory is backed up by the other recent interstellar comet – Borisov – which arrived after ‘Oumuamua and showed definite signs of fragmenting. One other thing that supports the dust bunny theory is that the true shape of ‘Oumuamua is still not known. While telescope images show it as a cigar, it’s possible that it’s actually a disc whose round, flat surface could not be seen at the angle it passed by at. (That whooping sound you hear in the background is Flat Earthers celebrating the shape of ‘Oumuamua – we’ll deal with them at another time.) A disc-shaped fractal body apparently better fits the dust bunny model.

‘Oumuamua hunter or ‘Oumuamua model?

Will this “dust bunny” explanation for ‘Oumuamua be accepted by the astronomy community and the general public or will it be relegated to the snicker-inducing realm of the mispronunciations of Uranus? Only time will tell.

Strange Flashes And Light At The North Pole Alaska

DECEMBER 9, 2013 ……..NORTH POLE ALASKA

The lights were bright orange and clear quick flashes with 3-5 of them successively within the span of 3-5 seconds. They moved from right to left completely silently and were so bright they lit up our front yard (which is about the size of the parking lot of a small business) and all the trees in our yard. To give you an idea of how big our yard is, we could probably park 30-40 cars in our front yard alone.

I don’t know if it’s at all related or not but last night (the night before this happened) around 3:30 in the morning, our dog who sleeps on her bed in the living room, came into our bedroom and alerted to something in the living room or at the front door. This is out of character for her. Just as she woke me, I heard a very slight sound but I could not pinpoint the sound. It seemed to resonate throughout the house. It was a very slight but deep sound. You could liken it to a (Wah-Wah-Wah-wah) sound. I could feel this sound just as much as I could hear it and I can’t explain it better than that. It lasted for just as long as it took me to walk the few feet from our bedroom to the living room. Then it was just gone. It just immediately stopped.

I have a really tough time falling asleep last night. The dog acted as if there was someone at the door and I felt like there was too but our motion sensor lights weren’t on and I saw no one. I felt the weird need to sleep in my f! our year olds bed with him at that point. At this point, my healthy ((xx-years)) old dog would not leave my side.

Suddenly, my dog collapsed onto the floor and laid there with her eyes open but not blinking. She would not respond to my voice or my touch. She would not even respond to my commands. This scared me. About two or three minutes later she came to again and acted totally normal again. It seemed as if she had been drugged but of course she had not.

I am a college educated ((deleted)). I also hold a degree in ((deleted)). I do believe that we are not the only intelligent life out there. However, like most people I have never encountered anything personally that would give me that absolute undeniable truth. I’m not going to say that this experience is that undeniable truth.

Here's the Latest in DARPA Mass Mind Control Technology (Videos)

The recent advancements in DARPA mind control programs are both stunning and horrifying. Former President Obama made significant investments in the “BRAIN” Initiative — a bold new research effort to revolutionize our understanding of the human mind and uncover new ways to treat, prevent, and cure brain disorders like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury.

The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies, or BRAIN, as the project is now called, aims to reconstruct the activity of every single neuron as they fire simultaneously in different brain circuits, or perhaps even whole brains.

“The “next great American project,” as Obama called it, could help neuroscientists understand the origins of cognition, perception, and other enigmatic brain activities, which may lead to new, more effective treatments for conditions like autism or mood disorders and could help veterans suffering from brain injuries.

The Noah Factor

If one knew that the human race and all other species were going to go extinct through natural consequences, or were going to be wiped out, Noah’s arc would likely be built in order to reconstruct the planet in someone’s, certainly not God’s, image. If one can read through the lines, the following quote from the project speaks to this possibility.

“The BRAIN initiative proposes to develop new technologies that can record the activity from thousands, if not millions or billions, of neurons simultaneously at timescales matching behavior and mental activities. The initiative will likely tackle discrete brain circuits within different species of animals to understand how neurons work together to give rise to behaviors, moods, and other mental phenomena.”

Having read volumes on this topic, it is quite clear that this technology is a decisive first step toward controlling an organism by controlling the processes which control thought.

Unmistakable Referencing to Mind Control

Brain mapping under the guise of research has the strong appearance of being a whole lot more than someone’s laboratory investigation. Consider the very telling excerpt in which project managers state that they want to implant electrodes in hundreds of cell membranes by an army of nan0particles which will allow these nanoparticles to become apart of the cell membrane functioning.

The process is described in the project manager’s own words: “…Nanoprobes bearing several dozen electrodes, for instance, could be stacked to probe hundreds of thousands of recording sites and transmit data wirelessly. Alternatively, nanoparticles carrying molecules that bring them to specific cell types could lodge in cell membranes so surgical placement wouldn’t be necessary.

The nanoparticles could also carry molecules that can sense electrical activity, pressure, or even certain chemicals revealing brain activity.” Selective Serotonin Reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s) are absorbed by the cells upon consumption. What’s reuptake?

“It’s the process in which neurotransmitters are naturally reabsorbed back into nerve cells in the brain after they are released to send messages between nerve cells. A reuptake inhibitor prevents this from happening. Instead of getting reabsorbed, the neurotransmitter stays — at least temporarily — in the gap between the nerves, called the synapse”.

The serotonin is not stored within the cell membrane because of the nature of the SSRI. However, in the brain mapping project, the nanoparticles are embedded directly into the cell membrane where all proactive thinking and reactive thinking originates. The Brain Mapping Project has just described how they will control all thought and consequently all action.

Disbursement of the Nanoparticles

Site injections would be the primary means of disbursement and this modern-day “invasion of the body snatchers” would do its work. Some cell sites could be enhanced and some could be disabled depending on the end game goal. This part of the technology has already been developed. See my previous investigation into the genesis of this technology beginning with Jose Delgado whose technology was based upon frequency modulation.

Different frequencies produce different behaviors resulting from different mood states.

The globalist enforcement agents cannot go door to door and administer these silver bullet mind control injections. However, these changes can be ingested in a macro fashion through chemtrails and HAARP. There are researchers who are looking into the possibility that GMO foods are a conducting agent of this process as well. Josh Coy implicates the Walmart scanning of food as another trigger mechanism.

Remember, Walmart is an arm of the DOD. In 1961, mind control researcher, Jose Delgado was able to implant the hypothalamus of a cat with a transducer and manifest an uncontrollable rage in the animal. Keep in mind that this technology is over 60 years old. One can only imagine how far this technology has come during that time. Delgado’s famous bullfight and the angry cat are depicted in the following video.

This is where the technology began.

The Mind Control Delivery System: Project HAARP

It has previously detailed how biometrics will be required to access the internet as a threat to internet access, which it clearly is. However, the main threat to humanity lies in the fact that the technology exists to control all of the human behavior at one time.

A reasonable person would certainly ask “how is that possible?”

To answer that question, I refer the readers to Nick Begich’s website in which he details how mass electrical signals can be beamed up from an array defined geographic area, or it can be reflected back to earth in a broad beam application in which millions could be impacted by one electrical signal designed to change human behavior. We know this technology as Project HAARP.

United States Patent 5,159,703, Lowery, October 27, 1992, Silent Subliminal Presentation System, Inventors: Lowery, Oliver M. Appl. No. 458339 Filed December 28, 1989, discusses the microwave technology necessary for mind control. In this patent, we witness the move from the mind control of certain individuals who might have been programmed, which is frightening enough, to witnessing entire populations being controlled.

The patent discusses the possibility of impacting millions at a time. The net effect of the technology is enhanced when there is a transducer in the body such as an embedded microchip.

The existence of this technology is undeniable.

Here is a list of 23 mind control technologies issued by the U.S. Patent Office since the 1950s.

The lesson is clear, embedded chips can turn normal people into crazed killers and it can take crazed killers and turn them into passive beings. Interestingly, the most famous graduate of the MK Ultra program was the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski.

The Latest DARPA Mind Control Advances

In the following video. Joshua Coy is interviewed. The first part of the interview is about Coy’s dismissal from WYDE FM (Birmingham) for his failure to stop talking about the New World Order. To the point of mind control and the newest advance, skip forward to 22:13.

This material covers the newest advances in the mind control arena by DARPA. Recent Developments The University of Utah has already developed a similar chip that delivers signals from an external source directly into the brain for interpretation. DARPA’s unit will undoubtedly be far more advanced.

MIT is boasting that they can implant memories in your brain. An example of this technology came directly from the mainstream media, an American Navy vet woke up in a Motel 6 without any memories of his life and only could speak Swedish. However, all his identification and evidence provided proved he was an American sailor.

A Very Ominous Warning From the Inventor of Electromagnetic Mind Control

Jose Delgado

In his later years, and after working for the CIA for over 40 years in perfecting this technology, Dr. Delgado was very critical about the distinct lack of Bioethics and consumer protection with regard to these technologies. Until his death a few years ago, Delgado remained particularly critical of technologies that can change human nature. Delgado stated the following:

“This technology has two sides, for good and for bad, and we should do what we can do to avoid the adverse consequences. We should try to prevent potentially destructive technologies from being abused by authoritarian governments to gain more power or by terrorists to wreak destruction. However, Delgado is a realist as he postulates “can you avoid knowledge? You cannot! Can you avoid technology? You cannot! Things are going to go ahead in spite of ethics, in spite of your personal ethics.”

The above quote from Delgado is a very ominous warning about how serious the subject of mind control is about to become for every person. After researching Delgado’s past, it is clear that he felt the same about mind control as Einstein felt about the unveiling of nuclear weapons. Delgado was found dead a few months after making these shocking statements.

Conclusion

This article demonstrated that the right to control your individual body is under attack on a number of fronts. This article demonstrated that electromagnetic manipulation of the mind is over 50 years old.

Further, it was established in this article that technologies such Project HAARP are very real threats to all people and some of the supporting governmental patents were presented as well.

The most surprising aspect of my research into this technology is not how far the technology has advanced, it centers around how easy it was to obtain information on the degree of sophistication of this technology.

As stunning as this technology appears to be, as printed in this article, what is written here is child’s play compared to what has been developed and is in the process of being integrated into the police state surveillance grid.

Ancient Alien TR3B Discovered In Greenland Iceberg, Google Earth Map, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Sept 13, 2020
Location of discovery: Greenland
Google coordinates: 65°40'37.98"N 38°40'52.21"W

I found a triangle UFO that was attached to an iceberg floating off of Greenland today. I used Google Earth map to find it. The ruler on the map states that the UFO is 68 meters across. Its possible this UFO crashed to earth millions of years and got buried beneath a glacier that melted little by little, dropping fragments of itself into the ocean. 

The black line across the cockpit area is very obvious and shows us that this really is a craft, not a coincidence. The corners of the craft are perfectly equal and slightly rounded off. This triangle craft looks like there was ice above it, but apparently it melted off and only the side areas of ice remain still attached to it. 

Now if Elon Musk could just retrieve this craft, humanity could colonialize Mars and other planets much faster.

Is there life on Venus? Scientists detect traces of phosphine gas that could be coming from MICROBES in clouds swirling high in the planet's atmosphere

• Phosphine is a colourless gas that smells somewhat like garlic, or decaying fish
• On Earth, it is produced naturally by bacteria or the decay of organic matter
• Experts led from the UK have found traces of the gas in the clouds above Venus
• Unlike on the planet's surface, conditions in the upper cloud layer are Earth-like
• However, experts have warned that there could be other sources for the gas 

By IAN RANDALL FOR MAILONLINE

Traces of phosphine gas detected in the clouds above Venus could be an indication that the planet supports microbial life, a study has concluded.

On Earth, phosphine — a colourless gas that smells like garlic, or decaying fish — is naturally produced mainly by certain microorganisms in the absence of oxygen.

It can also be released in small amounts from the breakdown of organic matter, or industrially synthesised in chemical plants.

Experts from the UK, however, found signs of phosphine in Venus' atmosphere — suggesting the planet must support unknown chemical processes, or even life.

The second-closest planet to the Sun, Venus is inhospitable — with a surface temperature around 867°F (464°C) and pressure 92 times that of on the Earth.

However, its upper cloud deck — 33–38 miles (53–62 kilometres) above the surface — is a more temperate 120°F (50°C), with a pressure equal to that at Earth sea level.

The clouds are also highly acidic — meaning that the phosphine would be broken down very quickly and must therefore be being continually replenished.

The researchers have cautioned, however, that life is only one possible explanation for the source of the phosphine — with further investigation needed.

NASA is presently considering two missions to Venus that propose to study the planet's atmosphere and geochemistry — dubbed 'DAVINCI' and 'VERITAS'.

Traces of phosphine gas detected in the clouds above Venus, seen here in an image taken by NASA's Mariner 10 spacecraft — could be an indication that the planet supports microbial life

In their study, astronomer Jane Greaves of Wales' Cardiff University and colleagues observed Venus using both the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope at Hawaii's Mauna Kea Observatory and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile.

They detected a so-called spectral signature that is unique to phosphine — and furthermore were able to estimated that the gas is present in Venus' clouds in an abundance of around 20 parts-per-billion.

The team explored assorted ways that the gas could have been produced in this setting — including from sources on the surface of the planet, micrometeorites, lightning, or chemical processes happening within the clouds themselves.

However, they were unable to determine exactly what is the source of the detected trace quantities of the gas.

The researchers have cautioned that the detection of phosphine is not itself robust evidence for alien microbial life — and only indicates that potentially unknown geological or chemical processes are occurring on the planet.

Further observations and modelling will be needed, they added, to better explore the origin of the gas in the planet's atmosphere.

'Phosphine could originate from unknown photochemistry or geochemistry — or, by analogy with biological production of phosphine on Earth, from the presence of life,' the research team wrote in their paper.

'If no known chemical process can explain phosphine within the upper atmosphere of Venus, then it must be produced by a process not previously considered plausible for Venusian conditions,' they added.

'This could be unknown photochemistry or geochemistry — or possibly life.'

'Even if confirmed, we emphasise that the detection of phosphine is not robust evidence for life, only for anomalous and unexplained chemistry.'

'There are substantial conceptual problems for the idea of life in Venus's clouds — the environment is extremely dehydrating as well as hyperacidic.

'However, we have ruled out many chemical routes to phosphine, with the most likely ones falling short by four to eight orders of magnitude.'

'To further discriminate between unknown photochemical and/or geological processes as the source of Venusian phosphine, or to determine whether there is life in the clouds of Venus, substantial modelling and experimentation will be important.'

'Ultimately, a solution could come from revisiting Venus for in situ measurements or aerosol return.'

'The only successful Lander that sent back Venus data was Vega 2, in 1985,' Professor Graves noted.

'Let's hope now that space agencies will want to go back.'

The second-closest planet to the Sun, Venus is inhospitable — with temperatures on its surface (pictured, as imaged by the Magellan spacecraft) of around 867°F (464°C) and pressures 92 times that of on the Earth. However, its upper cloud deck — 33–38 miles  above the surface — is a more temperate 120°F (50°C), with a pressure equal to that at Earth sea level

'This is one of the most exciting signs of the possible presence of life beyond Earth I have ever seen — and certainly from the most surprising location I could imagine,' said astronomer Alan Duffy, who was not involved in the present study.

'Our twin planet Venus is a hellish world,' added the expert from the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.

'While the surface is hot enough to melt lead, the temperature drops as you go higher into the clouds, becoming Earth-like in both temperature and pressure by an altitude of 50 kilometres [31 miles], exactly where the phosphine was found.'

'While the temperature is benign, the clouds contain sulphuric acid which should break down the phosphine,' he continued.

This, he explained, means that 'something is forming it anew — and as phosphine is associated with life on Earth, it is tempting to think it could be life on Venus.'

'But before we can become more confident about that we have to rule out all possible other non-biological means of producing it.'

'This paper was exhaustive in ruling out the possibilities, but there may yet be non-living chemical pathways in the extreme environment on Venus that we haven’t yet discovered so we have to learn more about geochemistry on Earth’s twin.' 

The full findings of the study were published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

KEY DISCOVERIES IN HUMANITY'S SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE

Discovery of pulsars

British astronomer Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell was the first person to discover a pulsar in 1967 when she spotted a radio pulsar.

Since then other types of pulsars that emit x-rays and gamma rays have also been spotted.

Pulsars are essentially rotating, highly magnatised neutron stars but when they were first discovered it was believed they could come from aliens.

'Wow!' radio signal

In 1977, an astronomer looking for alien life in the nigh sky above Ohio spotted a powerful radio signal so strong that he excitedly wrote 'Wow!' next to his data.

The 72-second blast, spotted by Dr Jerry Ehman through a radio telescope, came from Sagittarius but matched no known celestial object.

Conspiracy theorists have since claimed that the 'Wow! signal', which was 30 times stronger than background radiation, was a message from intelligent extraterrestrials.

Fossilised martian microbes

In 1996 Nasa and the White House made the explosive announcement that the rock contained traces of Martian bugs.

The meteorite, catalogued as Allen Hills (ALH) 84001, crashed onto the frozen wastes of Antarctica 13,000 years ago and was recovered in 1984. 

Photographs were released showing elongated segmented objects that appeared strikingly lifelike.

However, the excitement did not last long. Other scientists questioned whether the meteorite samples were contaminated. 

They also argued that heat generated when the rock was blasted into space may have created mineral structures that could be mistaken for microfossils. 

Behaviour of Tabby's Star in 2005 

The star, otherwise known as KIC 8462852, is located 1,400 light years away and has baffled astonomers since being discovered in 2015.

It dims at a much faster rate than other stars, which some experts have suggested is a sign of aliens harnessing the energy of a star.

Recent studies have 'eliminated the possibility of an alien megastructure', and instead, suggests that a ring of dust could be causing the strange signals.

Exoplanets in the Goldilocks zone in 2015 

In February this year astronomers announced they had spotted a star system with planets that could support life just 39 light years away.

Seven Earth-like planets were discovered orbiting nearby dwarf star 'Trappist-1', and all of them could have water at their surface, one of the key components of life.

Three of the planets have such good conditions, that scientists say life may have already evolved on them. 

Researchers claim that they will know whether or not there is life on any of the planets within a decade, and said 'this is just the beginning.'

Onderzoekers vinden sterke aanwijzingen voor leven op Venus - HLN.be

Bron: ANP

Venus is vanaf de zon gezien de tweede planeet van ons zonnestelsel en dus, samen met Mars, een naburige planeet van de Aarde.

Venus dan toch geen slapende planeet? Onderzoekers ontdekken “tientallen vulkanische hotspots”

Een internationaal team van sterrenkundigen heeft in de wolken van Venus het zeldzame molecuul fosfine gemeten. Dat gas, ook wel fosforwaterstof genoemd, ontstaat door toedoen van microbes die gedijen in omgevingen zonder zuurstof.De wetenschappers hebben ook gekeken of er misschien een andere bron voor de fosfine kan zijn. Bliksem en vulkanen kunnen bijvoorbeeld kleine hoeveelheden fosfine creëren. Maar in de dampkring van Venus zit 10.000 keer zo veel fosfine als zulke bronnen ooit zouden kunnen maken, rekende het team uit.

Eerder ontdekten onderzoekers “tientallen vulkanische hotspots” op de planeet. 

“Mogelijk teken van leven” 

Onomstotelijk bewijs voor leven op Venus is de ontdekking nog niet, benadrukken de onderzoekers. Ze spreken van een “mogelijk teken van leven” waarvoor geen plausibele andere verklaring is. Voor de bevestiging van buitenaards leven is nog veel meer onderzoek nodig. De beste manier om zekerheid te krijgen, is door een ruimtesonde naar Venus te sturen. Die zou misschien materiaal voor onderzoek kunnen terugbrengen naar de Aarde.

Wetenschappers zoeken al langer naar leven buiten de Aarde, maar Venus werd nooit gezien als een echt serieuze kandidaat. Met een gemiddelde temperatuur van bijna 500 graden is het de heetste planeet in ons zonnestelsel. De luchtdruk op het oppervlak is 92 keer zo hoog als die op aarde en in de lucht hangen ondoordringbare wolken van zwavelzuur.

“Onverwachte bonus” 

“Het vinden van fosfine op Venus was een onverwachte bonus”, zegt onderzoeker Clara Sousa Silva. “De ontdekking roept veel vragen op, zoals hoe een organisme kan overleven. Op aarde kunnen sommige microbes 5 procent zuur in hun omgeving aan. De wolken van Venus bestaan vrijwel helemaal uit zuur.‘’

Het onderzoek werd uitgevoerd door ongeveer twintig wetenschappers van Britse en Amerikaanse universiteiten. Ook de Europese sterrenkundige organisatie ESO, waarvan België stichtend lid was in 1962, was bij de studie betrokken. De ontdekking staat in het belangrijke wetenschapsblad Nature Astronomy en is maandag naar buiten gebracht door de Britse Royal Astronomical Society.

Wetenschappers zoeken ook naar krioelende microbes op Mars, op de Jupitermanen Europa en Ganymedes, en op de Saturnusmanen Enceladus en Titan. Tot op heden is de Aarde de enige planeet waar leven bekend is.

Astronomers find NO technological signs of alien life in a study of more than 10 MILLION star systems

• Australian scientists report no alien use of technology in a distant constellation 
• The experts used the MWA radio telescope in the Western Australian outback
• MWA looks for radio emissions at low frequencies just like FM radio frequencies
• These may indicate aliens using technological innovations similar to our own

By JONATHAN CHADWICK FOR MAILONLINE 

Australian astronomers say they've found no technological signs of alien life in a study of more than 10 million star systems. 

Perth-based researchers used the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope in the Western Australian outback, in a project dubbed 'looking for ET'. 

The MWA searches for powerful radio emissions at low frequencies, similar to FM radio frequencies on Earth that allow radio broadcasts. 

These emissions from space, known as 'technosignatures', could possibly indicate the presence of an intelligent aliens with technological innovations similar to our own.  

The team completed the 'deepest and broadest search' of a patch of sky known to include at least 10 million stars, in the southern constellation of Vela. 

But the researchers concluded that, in this part of the universe, other civilisations are 'elusive, if they exist' at all.

Scroll down for video

'The MWA is a unique telescope, with an extraordinarily wide field-of-view that allows us to observe millions of stars simultaneously,' said Dr Chenoa Tremblay at Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia.  

'We observed the sky around the constellation of Vela for 17 hours, looking more than 100 times broader and deeper than ever before.

'With this dataset, we found no technosignatures – no sign of intelligent life.'    

The team stressed that the area searched was still a comparatively tiny portion of outer space.

'As Douglas Adams noted in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, "space is big, really big,"' said Professor Steven Tingay from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) in Perth. 

'Even though this was a really big study, the amount of space we looked at was the equivalent of trying to find something in the Earth's oceans but only searching a volume of water equivalent to a large backyard swimming pool. 

'Although there is a long way to go in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, telescopes such as the MWA will continue to push the limits – we have to keep looking.'

The team observed the sky in a supernova remnant in the Southern constellation of Vela, where there are around six known exoplanets.  

However, it is likely that a vast number of exoplanets remain unknown in this system. 

Using the MWA in the frequency range 98-128 MHz over a 17-hour period, the Vela Supernova Remnant was observed with a frequency resolution of 10 kHz. 

The northern portion of the Vela Supernova Remnant. The team observed Vela which the team observed with a frequency resolution of 10 kHz. Within the field of study there are six known exoplanets

At the positions of the six exoplanets, the astronomers found no narrow band signals consistent with radio transmissions from intelligent civilisations. 

In total, combined with two previous surveys, the researchers have now examined 75 known exoplanets at low frequencies without finding a trace of civilisations.  

'Our results clearly continue to demonstrate that searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has a long way to go,' the authors say in their research paper, published in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia.    

Earlier this year, MWA was responsible for detecting the 'biggest explosion since the Big Bang' from a supermassive black hole in a galaxy 390 million light years away. 

The extremely powerful eruption occurred hundreds of millions of years ago in the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster, and was five times as powerful as the previous 'largest explosion' record holder.

It was so powerful it punched a cavity in the cluster plasma – super-hot gas surrounding the black hole – big enough to fit 15 Milky Way galaxies inside it.   

The MWA is a precursor for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a £1.5 billion observatory with telescopes in Western Australia and South Africa. 

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a low frequency radio telescope and is the first of four Square Kilometre Array (SKA) precursors to be completed. It allowed the team to dive deeper into the distance galaxy to uncover the secret

It's is one of four official SKA precursor telescopes – instruments that provide information to help guide the SKA.

The SKA precursor telescopes were designed primarily as engineering testbeds for the future SKA. 

'When building something the size of the SKA, it’s important to try on a smaller scale first to test and refine technologies and anticipate potential challenges on a larger scale,' said Richard Schilizzi, former director of the SKA project. 

With the SKA, scientists will be able to survey billions of star systems and seek technosignatures 'in an astronomical ocean of other worlds', according to Professor Tingay.    

'Due to the increased sensitivity, the SKA low-frequency telescope to be built in Western Australia will be capable of detecting Earth-like radio signals from relatively nearby planetary systems,' he said .

After studying more than 10 million stars in the southern portion of the Vela constellation, experts have not found any signs of alien technology. For their project called “looking for ET”, Australian astronomers used the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope to study the millions of stars by using radio emissions at low frequencies.

By using the radio emissions called “technosignatures”, they were hoping that if there were intelligent alien technologies in space, they would have been able to detect them. Dr. Chenoa Tremblay from Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia described the equipment they used, “The MWA is a unique telescope, with an extraordinarily wide field-of-view that allows us to observe millions of stars simultaneously,” adding, “We observed the sky around the constellation of Vela for 17 hours, looking more than 100 times broader and deeper than ever before.”

Tremblay went on to say, “With this dataset, we found no technosignatures – no sign of intelligent life.” Although in fairness, it was a very small area considering the size of the entire universe. In fact, just in the Milky Way Galaxy, there are an estimated 100 to 400 billion stars. Professor Steven Tingay from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) in Perth put this into better perspective by stating, “Even though this was a really big study, the amount of space we looked at was the equivalent of trying to find something in the Earth’s oceans but only searching a volume of water equivalent to a large backyard swimming pool.”

The team of experts also studied six exoplanets in the Vela Supernova Remnant but were unable to detect any radio transmissions from extraterrestrials. They did, however, mention that there could possibly be several more exoplanets that have yet to be discovered in that specific location. They have studied a total of 75 exoplanets by using low frequencies and have yet to find any indication of intelligent life out there.

Another possible reason why astronomers couldn’t detect any signs of alien technology is that perhaps their technology is completely different than ours here on Earth. “Since we can’t really assume how possible alien civilizations might utilize technology, we need to search in many different ways. Using radio telescopes, we can explore an eight-dimensional search space,” Tingay stated.

Since the researchers weren’t able to detect any technological signs of aliens – at least in that part of space – they claimed that other civilizations potentially inhabiting that area are “elusive, if they exist”. “Although there is a long way to go in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, telescopes such as the MWA will continue to push the limits – we have to keep looking,” Tingay noted. Pictures of the MWA radio telescope can be seen here.
