Angelic UFO Over Farm In Slovenia, Google Earth Map, Sept 2020, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: September 16, 2020
Location: Podkoren, Slovenia 
Google Coordinates:  46°29'25.24"N 13°45'5.42"E

I found this UFO over the city of Podkoren in the country of Slovenia. The UFO is almost appears holy or divine as if it were an angelic being. In the video I show you several views of the same area so you can see for yourself there is nothing reflective on the ground. This object is not lighting up the tree sides...but clearly above the tree tops. This my be more than just a UFO, it may be an angelic being visiting a holy person of significants within the house below. A biblical event...recorded on Google Earth map. 

This reminds me of the UFO seen in Jerusalem over the holy of holies...the Dome of rock In is real. But that one...was an angelic being...the ancient biblical story of Dome of Rock is proof of that theory. 

No...I'm not religious in any way, but do respect all religions. But...evidence is mounting in that area.
Scott C. Waring 

Notice the tail on the object hanging below the UFO or angelic entity. Like that of a sea horse.

Glowing UFO Over Redwood, New York Sept 6, 2020, MUFON, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 6, 2020
Location of sighting: Redwood, New York, USA
Source: MUFON #111445 

This is some amazing raw footage, but it is short. The woman and her family saw some glowing lights appear over a hill across the lake and then the lights move and changed to three lights...absolutely mind-blowing. This UFO must have come from under the ground in an alien base about 6km below the surface. I believe this because UFOs always sit over the location they came from for about 30 seconds or more before they leave. This is what we saw here. The alien ship was just suddenly transported from the alien base to its location above the hill. Awesome footage, but wish the videos were longer. I made some close ups in the video and show the daytime location for you to see there is no cell phone tower anywhere there. Absolute proof of aliens living in New York!
Scott C. Waring 

Eyewitness states: 

We were at our family's camp on Butterfield lake when we saw the object across the lake. It had white lights with a center red light. It was flashing. I took a picture. My sister in law and I looked threw binoculars at it and saw the lights flashing. There is no cell tower across the lake. I took a video of it. My daughter and I were walking up the hill to the bathroom and my sister in law yelled that it was moving. I ran down the hill in time to see it gliding slowly across the lake and went to the right of us just behind the tree lines of our vision. I took a video. You can here crickets in the video as we were all stunned it made no noise at all...and moved extremely slow. About 30 seconds after we couldnt see it anymore we could hear a jet or jets above us to our left moving right the same direction as this craft. This was a sunday night and a holiday weekend and we have never heard jets before. There were 4 adults and 3 children 13 and up that witnessed this event.

Reptilian Alien Egg Been Discovered In Kentucky, Sept 2020, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Sept 2020
Location of discovery: Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA
News source: 

• https://www.kentucky.com/news/nation-world/national/article245734430.html

A strange object that appears to be an egg was dug up in Arkansas this week in a field. The object does closely resemble an egg and not just any egg, but a reptilian egg. Could this object actually be a reptilian alien from long ago that has put himself into a hibernation mode and was unable to wake up? Or may just be an egg of a long since extinct species..but the species might be an ancient alien species. We need deep scans of the inside or it must be cut into thin sections. Its 2.5 feet across, or .8 meters. 

I believe cutting this open may actually reveal the contents and we may find it surprising. Aliens have visited earth thought-out its history. The size of this egg could be 100% that a intelligent reptilian species one walked the earth hundreds of millions of years ago. 
Scott C. Waring

Kentucky News states: 

A large, scaly object resembling a giant egg was found in an Arkansas field, leading to an ongoing social media debate over what it might be — and if it was once alive. Photos of the find were posted Monday by the Arkansas History Unearthed Facebook group (with more than 18,000 members), showing it was oval shaped, more than 2-feet long and seemingly reptilian in origin. Group member Drew Baledge of Fayetteville, Arkansas, reported the object had been found by someone in a field and he asked: “What, if anything could this possibly be?” A few wanted to know if it was soft enough to cut open, while some warned the finder not to bring it indoors. “Be careful. It could hatch,” Brian Armer posted on Facebook. “Looks like something from another world!” Marcus Hays wrote. “Alien egg!!” Steve Morgan posted.

Astrange winged anomaly on Mars has been discovered in a recent photograph (ESP_065515_1400) taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on 18 July 2020 and is described as 'Gullies in Nereidum Montes."

The anomaly which is 10 meters across and 12 meters long stands next to a large rectangular block as well as stacked rectangular objects arranged in parallel and next to each other.

According to Jean Ward who discovered the anomaly, at first glance it resembles a disc-shaped craft with two 'fin'-like parts on either side but given the strange shape of the object he wonders whether it could be an ancient creature, like a cryptid, or a statue.

Is there microbial life in the atmosphere of Earth’s closest neighbor, Venus? An international team of astronomers has found tentative but highly compelling evidence.

Artist’s illustration depicting newly discovered molecules of phosphine in Venus’ atmosphere. On Earth, and as far as scientists know, there are only 2 ways to produce phosphine: either artificially in labs or via living microbes.

• This article accidentally found its way into Google searches before the embargo upon it was lifted on Monday. EarthSky deeply apologizes for any confusion or disappointment caused by this breach.

Most of us are familiar with this quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who created the character Sherlock Holmes:

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

Those words might be apropos this week, as scientists announce an incredible discovery: tentative evidence for microbial life within the atmosphere of Venus.

As space fans know, T Venus at its surface is scorching and inhospitable, hot enough to melt lead. It’s one of the last places you’d expect to find any kind of life. But the hints of tiny Venusian microbes come not from the planet’s surface, but rather from its atmosphere, where conditions can be reasonably Earth-like.

It should be noted that this new discovery is not yet proof of life on Venus. But the researchers make a compelling case.

The exciting findings come from scientists in the U.S. and U.K., at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cardiff University, University of Manchester and others. Jane Greaves of Cardiff University led the study. The Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) provided an online press briefing for journalists via Zoom last week, with three of the researchers there to discuss results. The RAS also issued a news release. The scientific data were published in the prestigious, peer-reviewed journal Nature Astronomy today, September 14, 2020.

For as long as we’ve known about conditions on the planet Venus, thanks in large part to visiting space probes, Venus has always been considered one of the least likely places to support life as we know it. With scorching temperatures hot enough to melt lead and crushing air pressure at the surface – not to mention large amounts of sulfuric acid in its clouds – Venus is far from welcoming.

Some scientists, however, have speculated that life might be possible higher up in the atmosphere, where temperatures and pressures are Earth-like in a temperate zone. It is in this zone that scientists made the discovery.

What did the researchers find?

Simply put, they found a gas in Venus’ atmosphere that should not be there and that, on Earth, is considered a conclusive biosignature. It’s a very stinky gas called phosphine. As far as scientists know, there are only two ways to produce phosphine, either artificially in a lab, or by certain kinds of microbes that live in oxygen-free environments. Since there aren’t any alien labs on Venus (that we know of), that leaves microbes.

The researchers made the detection using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii and the ALMA telescope in Chile.

Researchers from MIT had previously published studies showing that if phosphine was to ever be found on another rocky planet, it would be a sure sign of life there. That is why this discovery is so provocative.

But before announcing this tantalizing evidence, the researchers, of course, wanted to try to rule out other explanations. They considered and tested multiple scenarios where this gas might be produced without life, but, as they acknowledge, they came up empty. Clara Sousa-Silva at MIT, whose career specialty is studying phosphine, said in a statement
:

It’s very hard to prove a negative. Now, astronomers will think of all the ways to justify phosphine without life, and I welcome that. Please do, because we are at the end of our possibilities to show abiotic processes that can make phosphine.

Finding phosphine on Venus was an unexpected bonus! The discovery raises many questions, such as how any organisms could survive. On Earth, some microbes can cope with up to about 5% of acid in their environment, but the clouds of Venus are almost entirely made of acid.

Co-author Janusz Petkowski added:

This means either this is life, or it’s some sort of physical or chemical process that we do not expect to happen on rocky planets.

We really went through all possible pathways that could produce phosphine on a rocky planet. If this is not life, then our understanding of rocky planets is severely lacking.

That’s a pretty definitive statement to make.

Greaves said:

This was an experiment made out of pure curiosity, really, taking advantage of JCMT’s powerful technology, and thinking about future instruments. I thought we’d just be able to rule out extreme scenarios, like the clouds being stuffed full of organisms. When we got the first hints of phosphine in Venus’ spectrum, it was a shock!

The researchers processed the data for six months before becoming convinced the phosphine was really there. According to Anita Richards, of the U.K. ALMA Regional Centre and The University of Manchester:

To our great relief, the conditions were good at ALMA for follow-up observations while Venus was at a suitable angle to Earth. Processing the data was tricky, though, as ALMA isn’t usually looking for very subtle effects in very bright objects like Venus.

Greaves said:

In the end, we found that both observatories had seen the same thing, faint absorption at the right wavelength to be phosphine gas, where the molecules are backlit by the warmer clouds below.

William Bains at MIT led the work on trying to assess other natural ways to make phosphine on Venus. Some ideas included sunlight, minerals blown upwards from the surface, volcanoes, or lightning, but none of these could make anywhere near enough of it. These kinds of sources could only make, at most, one ten thousandth of the amount of phosphine that the telescopes saw. So something is producing a lot more of the gas. According to Paul Rimmer at Cambridge University, terrestrial organisms would only need to work at about 10% of their maximum productivity in order to produce the amount of phosphine found on Venus.

On Earth, phosphine is produced by microbes that don’t need oxygen. They absorb phosphate minerals, add hydrogen, and ultimately expel phosphine gas. Since Venus has virtually no oxygen in its atmosphere, that’s another similarity suggesting the gas actually is coming from microbes.

Since Venus is much too hot at its surface for any known earthly microbes, they must be in its atmosphere. There is a temperate region, between 48 and 60 kilometers (about 30 to 37 miles) above the surface, where temperatures range from 30 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (roughly 0 to 90 degrees Celsius). That’s the habitable zone on Venus, and just happens to be where the phosphine was found. As Petkowski noted:

This phosphine signal is perfectly positioned where others have conjectured the area could be habitable.

The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii was the first to detect the phosphine signature in the Venusian atmosphere.

The researchers will now be following up with more telescope observations, including to look for other gases that might be associated with life. They also to want to see if there are daily or seasonal variations in the signal that would suggest activity associated with life. Emma Bunce, president of the Royal Astronomical Society, advocates for return missions to Venus, saying:

A key question in science is whether life exists beyond Earth, and the discovery by Professor Jane Greaves and her team is a key step forward in that quest. I’m particularly delighted to see U.K. scientists leading such an important breakthrough, something that makes a strong case for a return space mission to Venus.

Petkowski said:

You can, in principle, have a life cycle that keeps life in the clouds perpetually. The liquid medium on Venus is not water, as it is on Earth.

Scientists also think that Venus used to be much more habitable a few billion years ago, and even had oceans before the runaway greenhouse effect took hold. According to Sousa-Silva:

A long time ago, Venus is thought to have had oceans, and was probably habitable like Earth. As Venus became less hospitable, life would have had to adapt, and they could now be in this narrow envelope of the atmosphere where they can still survive. This could show that even a planet at the edge of the habitable zone could have an atmosphere with a local aerial habitable envelope.

The thick clouds that perpetually cover Venus’ surface are highly acidic, but there is a region where temperatures and pressures are quite Earth-like, making it possible for microorganisms to exist there.

This habitable zone in the cloud decks might be the last refuge for Venusian microorganisms. That’s an incredible – if difficult to believe – thought, but if the scientists are right, then it is one of the most amazing discoveries in history. How amazing would it be to know that not only are we not alone, but that we had neighbors on the closest planet to Earth all this time? From Souva-Silva’s 2019 article in Scientific American about phosphine:

Life as we know it is likely only one island in the vast archipelago of possibilities for biology. Our galaxy has a huge diversity of stars, and orbiting them are planets of every kind. Earth alone has given rise to billions of species. So, it is not a big leap to think that life itself can arise in a large array of unexpected forms, which fill their atmospheres with strange molecules such as phosphine. One day we might detect phosphine in one of these atmospheres. These would not be fun places for us; frankly, we might find them disgusting. On the other hand, the residents of these planets would probably find us disgusting too (a problem for interplanetary diplomacy to overcome). Nonetheless, if we find phosphine on a rocky planet in the habitable zone, where it has no false positives, we will have found life.

There, she is talking about finding phosphine in the atmosphere of an exoplanet orbiting another star. But the same basic scenario would apply to other rocky planets in our own solar system. Despite its hellish conditions on the surface, Venus does reside near the edge of our sun’s habitable zone, the region around a star where temperatures could allow liquid water to exist.

Last month, another study discussed in Astronomy magazine and elsewhere, showed how microbes could theoretically exist in Venus’ atmosphere by finding refuge inside drops of sulphuric acid that also contain some water. They would cycle through different layers of the atmosphere, never reaching the ground, and survive the most extreme conditions by transitioning into a temporary dormant state.

A proposed life cycle for microbes in Venus’ atmosphere. (1) Dehydrated microbes survive in a vegetative state in Venus’ lower haze layer. (2) The spores are lifted by updrafts into the habitable cloud layer. (3) Once encapsulated by liquid, the spores become metabolically active. (4) These microbes divide, and the droplets grow through coagulation. (5) The droplets grow large enough that they sink through the atmosphere, where they begin to evaporate due to higher temperatures, prompting microbes to transform into spores that float in the lower haze layer.

Image via Seager et al. (2020)/ Astronomy.

While the discovery is surprising, scientists have speculated for years that microbial life might exist in Venus’ atmosphere. It might even explain, as postulated by some scientists, the unusual dark streaks that somehow absorb ultraviolet light, called “unknown absorbers.” Those patches have been found to be composed of tiny – but still unknown – particles about the size of bacteria on Earth.

Even Carl Sagan suggested that life could be possible in Venus’ atmosphere. But due to the acidic clouds, any microbial life would likely be quite different from any on Earth. Other scientists, including David Grinspoon, have written about the possibility of life in Venus’ clouds before as well. Some of the best articles are at Eos, Astrobiology Magazine, Space.com and Sky & Telescope. Grinspoon also talked about it on Magellan TV and for Breakthrough Discuss. Now, it seems they may just have been right all along.

Again, this is not quite proof of life on Venus yet, but it is tantalizingly close. It will be very interesting to see what future follow-up observations show.

The U.S. Air Force Has Secretly Flown A Demonstrator For Its Next-Generation Fighter

Little is known about the actual aircraft or who even built it, but it's a sign that the next-generation fighter effort is rapidly accelerating. 

In his address on the second day of the Air Force Association’s virtual Air, Space & Cyber Conference, on September 15, 2020, Dr Will Roper, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, revealed that a previous undisclosed demonstrator for the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program has begun flight testing.

“We’ve already built and flown a full-scale flight demonstrator in the real world,” Roper confirmed to Defense News, “and we broke records in doing it. We are ready to go and build the next-generation aircraft in a way that has never happened before.” 

Whether the demonstrator should be understood as a true prototype for the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) is uncertain — of course, it may also be an unmanned aircraft — but it’s clear that the U.S. effort to field a new-generation fighter is accelerating now that it has reached the inflight testing phase.

The object – officially known as Asteroid 2020 QU6 – was first spotted by Leonardo Amaral at the Campo dos Amarais observatory in Brazil

Andrew Griffin@_andrew_griffin

An amateur astronomer spotted a potentially dangerous asteroid heading towards Earth just days before it flew past us.

The object would have created global devastation if it smashed into Earth. But it flew past at a safe distance, at a range of 40 million kilometres or more than 100 times the distance between the Earth and the moon.

Still, experts have noted that it is a reminder that relatively large objects could easily be missed as they approach Earth, and repeated warnings that without large-scale tracking the planet could be at risk from unexpected collisions.

The object – officially known as Asteroid 2020 QU6 – was first spotted by Leonardo Amaral at the Campo dos Amarais observatory in Brazil, on 27 August. It made its closest flyby past Earth on 10 September.

There are a host of advanced surveys intended to spot such objects before they get so close. But experts said that the discovery is a reminder that those systems are not entirely reliable, and there could be many other interesting – and potentially dangerous – objects flying around waiting to be found.

“This discovery reminds us that even though we’ve found most large NEOs [Near-Earth Objects], we haven’t found all of them,” said Casey Dreier, chief advocate and senior space policy adviser for The Planetary Society, in a statement.

“We must continue to support ground-based astronomers and invest in new space-based capabilities like NEOSM [Near-Earth Objects Surveillance Mission] in order to protect Earth now and in the future.”

Leondardo Amaral/The Planetary Society

While the kilometre-wide asteroid would create ‘global devastation’ if it hit our planet, it fortunately missed us by 40 million kilometres on September 10, more than 100 times the distance between Earth and the Moon.

Bruce Betts, chief scientist for The Planetary Society, said in a statement:

In the news, we hear more and more frequently about asteroid discoveries primarily because we are getting better at finding and tracking near-Earth asteroids. There aren’t suddenly more asteroids, we’re just getting better at seeing them.

Nasa has been tasked by the US Congress to find and track 90 per cent of near-Earth objects that are 140 metres or bigger by 2020. But it has struggled to do so, amid appeals for more funding: it has only found 40 per cent of those objects, and isn't expected to get to its target for another 30 year

The Planetary Society noted that most major asteroid-hunting projects are based in the northern hemisphere, meaning that the world is more at risk of missing those that approach from south of the equator. As such, projects such as those from Mr Amaral are key to spotting asteroids that might otherwise go missed.

The object is just the latest asteroid to fly past Earth after having being spotted relatively late on its approach. Such detections cause concern because they suggest that dangerous asteroids could arrive without detection – but the discovery should be cause for hope rather than concern, said one expert.

“In the news, we hear more and more frequently about asteroid discoveries primarily because we are getting better at finding and tracking near-Earth asteroids,” said Planetary Society Chief Scientist Bruce Betts in a statement. “There aren’t suddenly more asteroids, we’re just getting better at seeing them.”

“Solar Cycle 25 is Officially Underway,” Announce NASA and NOAA during a Media Teleconference

By Cap Allon

Solar Cycle 25 is now officially underway. NASA and NOAA made the announcement during a media teleconference on Tuesday, Sept 15.

According to an international panel of experts, the sunspot number hit rock-bottom back in Dec 2019, bringing an end to old Solar Cycle 24 — a cycle which had the 4th-smallest intensity since record keeping began in 1755. It was also the weakest cycle in 100 years, reads NASA’s and NOAA’s analysis.

Since December last year sunspot counts have been slowly increasing and, according to both agencies, this has heralded in the new Solar Cycle 25.

“How quickly solar activity rises is an indicator on how strong the next solar cycle will be,” says Doug Biesecker of NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, co-chair of the Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel. “Although we’ve seen a steady increase in sunspot activity this year, it is slow.”

Indeed, spotless days have already reached 180 in 2020 (as of Sept 16), or 70%. In addition, the sun has been blank for the past 26 consecutive days: a feat within touching distance of the top 30 spotless stretches since 1849:

If Solar Cycle 25 has indeed begun, as NASA and NOAA state, then it is painfully slow to get going — this could-well be a harbinger of a historically weak cycle to come, as previously explained by NOAA’s Biesecker above.

The panel accepts that the new Solar Cycle 25 will be a weak one, peaking in 2025 at levels similar to the old Solar Cycle 24. If their prediction is correct, SC25 (like SC24 before it) will be one of the weakest since record-keeping began in 1755, writes Dr Tony Phillips.

In my humble opinion, the panel doesn’t have the first clue how SC25 will develop, and are simply mirroring SC24. NASA has come out with a number of wildly different predictions of late, one of which – featured at the bottom of the page – posits that SC25’s peak will be almost half of that of SC24’s. And then lest we forget some of its historic forecasts, including one for Solar Cycle 24 from 2006. Back then, the panel –which included many of the same names from NASA and NOAA as today– was leaning toward a “strong cycle 24” comparable to cycle 23. How wrong they were. Embarrassingly so. But they got their excuses in early, writing back in 2006: “By giving a long-term outlook, we’re advancing a new field — space climate— that’s still in its infancy. Issuing a cycle prediction of the onset this far in advance lies on the very edge of what we know about the Sun.”

I prefer to listen to the winners, though — and out a wide range of solar forecasts only a handful nailed SC24 in both duration and strength.

One such “winner” was professor Valentina Zharkova who’s predictions of a long and deep period of solar decline have –thus far– played out perfectly. Zharkova isn’t afraid to go further either, adding that the impact of such an event on Earth’s climate would be immense: Zharkova recently stated that this period of prolonged solar decline (aka a Grand Solar Minimum) began on June 8, 2020:

Dr Theodor Landscheidt is another who’s early findings have turned out to be largely correct. His work probably has the highest claim of priority, too:

Back to yesterday’s teleconference, NOAA’s Biesecker also included warnings about future solar storms: “While we are not predicting a particularly active Solar Cycle 25, violent eruptions from the sun can occur at any time. Indeed, continues Dr Tony Phillips, even Solar Minimum can produce a superstorm, so Solar Cycle 25 should not be taken lightly despite the panel’s low expectations. Radio blackouts, power outages, and severe geomagnetic storms are possible in the years ahead.

Concerns are rising regarding the ramp-up of SC25, and some are placing these next few years as time of great threat: an intensifying sun combined with a ever-waning magnetosphere (due to both a GSM & pole shift) are throwing solar physicists something of a curve ball. The magnetic field is Earth’s protection from space weather, and if the sun decides to fire a big coronal mass ejection (CME) in our direction we will be hit while our shields are down which would spell disaster for our modern, tech-dependent civilization — for more, click the link below:

The GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM is returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING, in line with historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow.

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.

Prepare for the COLD— learn the facts, relocate if need be, and grow your own.

Mysterious Alien Craft Photographed During A Skylab Mission In 1973

This space anomaly was photographed during Sky Lab III on day 263 of 1973 at 16:45 Zulu Time. Four shots were taken (one is shown here). The NASA Photo Evaluation Lab lists this object as either an unidentified object or a satellite.

(NASA Photo # SL3-118-2140)

On the 59th day of flight Skylab III’s three-man crew saw and photographed a strange red object. Not more than 30-50 nautical miles from them, Alan Bean, Owen Garriott, and Jack Lousman reported the object was brighter than any of the planets. This incident has never been explained.

Radio conversation with Houston four hours after the sighting…

LOUSMA: “Did you tell him about that satellite we saw?

BEAN: Yes, we saw a great satellite. We didn’t know if we told you about it.

LOUSMA: The closest and brightest one we’ve seen.

BEAN: Huge one.

LOUSMA: We’ve seen several. It was a red one.

CAPCOM: No, you may have told somebody, but it wasn’t this team. I don’t remember hearing about it.

LOUSMA: I guess we didn’t report it. It was reflecting in red light and oscillating at, oh, counting it’s period of brightest to dimmest, about ten seconds. It led us into sunset. That was about three revs ago, I think. Something like that, wasn’t it Owen?

(NOTE): Astronaut Owen does NOT respond to this question, and the topic of conversation abruptly changes.

“Skylab III Technical Crew Debriefing” (NASA doc JSC-08478)

GARRIOTT: Do you want to talk about that satellite?

LOUSMA: I saw a couple of satellites that appeared like a satellite would on earth. I saw one that was not like one you would see on earth, so why don’t you mention it?

GARRIOTT: OK. About a week or 10 days before recovery and we were still waiting for information to be supplied to us about the identification. Jack first notices this rather large red star out the wardroom window.

Upon close examination, it was much brighter than Jupiter or any of the other planets. It had a reddish hue to it, even though it was well above the horizon. The light from the Sun was not passing close to the Earth’s limb at the time. We observed it for about 10 minutes prior to sunset. It was slowly rotating because it had a variation in brightness with a 10-seconds period. As I was saying, we observed it for about 10 minutes, until we went into darkness, and it also followed us into darkness about 5-seconds later.

From the 5 to 10 second delay in it’s disappearance we surmised that it was not more than 30 to 50 nautical miles [35 to 58 statute miles or 56 to 93 km] from our location. From its original position in the wardroom window, it did not move more than 10 or 20 degrees over the 10 minutes or so that we watched it. Its orbit was very close to that of our own. We never saw it on any earlier or succeeding orbits and we’d be quite interested in having its identification established.”

The Nuclear Fallout They Kept Secret

An element of truth – videos about science, education, and anything else I find interesting.

Kodak detected the first atomic bomb before anyone else figured it out. Then they made a deal not to tell anyone. Thanks to HBO Max, and their new show raised by Wolves for sponsoring this video!

Gold Cylinder UFO Near Gemini 3 Mission Module, NASA Source, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Sept 15, 2020

Date of mission: March 1965

Location of sighting: Low Earths Orbit

Source photo:

• http://tothemoon.ser.asu.edu/gallery/Gemini/3/Hasselblad%20500C%2070%20mm

I found a long golden cylinder UFO in an old Gemini 3 mission photo. The mission went into low earths orbit and was the ninth manned space mission. UFOs come in all shapes and sizes. This one is caught in only a single photo. I checked the photos before and after this one and the object was gone. So this UFO must have been accident caught in the photo as it shot past. Its only natural for aliens to be curious about a species that have is still learning to go into space. Since they travel fast and can scan the mission crew and module fast...there is no need to stop. Anyways aliens don't want to frighten humans away so UFOs will normally keep far away, but close enough to observe history being made.

Fossil On Mars Points To Ancient Ocean With Life, Sept 2020, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Sept 2020
Location of discovery: Mars Sol 551
NASA photo: 

http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/msss/00551/mcam/0551MR2233051000E1_DXXX.jpg 

Source 2: http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/150622

As the rover was taking photos, it indadvertedly recorded ancient aliens sea life. I'm sure NASA would have covered it up had they seen it, but this does confirm that there was water on Mars. For some reason, NASA is saving this fossil information for when they need it...maybe a push to save NASA or a push for larger budgets. Several things we know to be true about this photo. 

1. This is a fossil.
2. This was taken by the Mars rover. 
3. The photo was put on the JPL site by NASA. 
4. Its on Gigapan also! HD and surrounding area.
   

What this means is NASA cannot dispute this claim nor will they ever try. NASA will not turn the rover around to reexamine this fossil, nor do they care...since they already have an abundance of Top Secret images that expose alien life on Mars. I have a similar ammonite fossil on my desk right now as I type this. Its an ancient water animal, a kind of Mollusc. On Earth most these style of mollusks are 200-400 million years old, but on Mars...who knows?

In ice condition: Amazingly preserved woolly mammoth found frozen in Siberia after 39,000 YEARS goes on display in Tokyo

• Female woolly mammoth was found frozen in a Siberian ice tomb in May
• The creature will be on display in Tokyo until September
  
• Scientists think she got stuck in a swamp and died over 39,000 years ago 
• Blood sample found at the scene could be used to clone the beast
  

By VICTORIA WOOLLASTON

With its matted hair and bald patches it resembles a much-loved toy somewhat past her prime.

In fact this creature is the best-preserved specimen of a woolly mammoth ever found – whose prehistoric prime was 39,000 years ago.

Even clumps of the animal’s distinguishing hair are remarkably intact after being trapped in glacial ice until she was discovered in Siberia earlier this year.

Scroll down for video

A 39,000-year-old female woolly mammoth, which was found frozen in Siberia in May, is seen here upon its arrival at an exhibition hall in Yokohama, south of Tokyo. The mammoth will be on display for tourists and visitors from 13 July until 16 September

The mammoth, pictured, was discovered in an ice tomb in the New Siberian Islands, or Novosibirsk Islands earlier this year. Parts of the carcass are especially well preserved because they remained entirely frozen for thousands of years

She is now to go on public display in  Yokohama, Japan.

But while the public can get a remarkable glimpse of our planet’s past, scientists will be continuing tests that could give the extinct species a future.

Experts who found the female mammoth in May also discovered a sample of its blood inside ice beneath the carcass – which scientists claim may be used to regrow one of the animals, which last walked the earth around 4,000 years ago.

Preserved muscle tissue was also found from the creature, which was aged between 50 and 60 when she died, according to the Russian team who made the discovery on islands off the northern coast of Siberia.

Semyon Grigoriev, from the North Eastern Federal University in Siberia, said: ‘We were really surprised to find mammoth blood and muscle tissue.’

He hailed it as ‘the best-preserved mammoth in the history of paleontology’.

A worker at the exhibition hall in Yokohama, south of Tokyo, inspects the snout of the 39,000-year-old woolly mammoth. Scientists discovered a well-preserved sample of blood from the creature in May and are looking into ways in which the extinct species could be brought back from extinction

The snout of the 39,000-year-old mammoth, pictured, on display in Tokyo. When the mammoth was discovered preserved muscle tissue was also found from the creature, aged between 50 and 60 when she died, according to the Russian team who made the discovery on islands off the northern coast of Siberia

The foot of the female woolly mammoth, pictured, shows that many of the animal's original features - including the hair that gave the mammoth its woolly name - is still intact. The upper torso and two legs, which were found in the soil and not buried in ice, were gnawed by predators and almost didn't survive

Parts of the carcass are especially well preserved because they remained entirely frozen for thousands of years – including the hair.

However, the upper torso and two legs, which were entombed in the soil, have been gnawed by prehistoric and modern predators and almost did not survive.

It is the first ever well-preserved sample of blood from a woolly mammoth and has reopened the debate over the morality of Jurassic Park-style projects to restore extinct creatures to the planet

The blood and other samples have been made available to South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk’s private bioengineering laboratory.

The laboratory has confirmed it is working with other mammoth DNA samples in a bid to return the extinct Siberian mammoth.

The eventual plan is to plant an implanted egg into a live elephant for a 22-month pregnancy.

The hope is that at least one living cell of the mammoth was preserved ‘although even with such well-preserved remains, this may not be the case’.

Earlier this year a group of scientists from around the world met for the TEDx conference in Washington, sponsored by National Geographic.

The group were discussing the possibility of bringing 24 animals back from extinction, also known as ‘de-extinction’.

The animals included the dodo bird, the Carolina Parakeet, last seen in 1904 in Florida.

The Quagga, a plains zebra which once lived in South Africa but died out in 1883.

However, some scientists insist it will be impossible to create the same mammoths as once roamed the earth.

A researcher from the Museum of Mammoths of the Institute of Applied Ecology at the North-Eastern Federal University, pictured, working near a carcass of the female mammoth found on a remote island off the coast of Siberia in May

A researcher from the North-Eastern Federal University in Siberia holds a test tube with a sample of well-preserved blood found in a carcass of a female woolly mammoth. The sample was discovered on a remote island in the Arctic Ocean and is thought to be the first discovery of its kind

Dr Grigoriev initially put the age of the animal at around 10,000 years but more recent dating tests suggest the creature is much older, dating back around 39,000 years.

‘It is great luck that the blood preserved and we plan to study it carefully,’ he said. ‘For now our suspicion is that mammoth blood contains a kind of natural anti-freeze.’

He suggested that the animal was so well preserved because it did not ‘defrost and then freeze again’.

‘We suppose the mammoth fell into water or got bogged down in a swamp, could not free herself and died,’ he added.

‘Due to this fact the lower part of the body was preserved very well.’

As well as a sample of blood, Russian scientists also discovered a well-preserved sample of muscle tissue from the woolly mammoth carcass. The blood and tissue were preserved because they were buried in an ice tomb on the Novosibirsk islands for what's thought to have been 10,000 years

The woolly mammoth was probably wiped out by rapid climate change caused by a meteor striking the Earth, not by overhunting as previously believed

Up until now, only bones had been found of the bears but this cave bear is completely preserved, with all internal organs in place including even its nose.

Cave bears were prehistoric species or subspecies that lived in Eurasia from around 300,000 to 15,000 years ago.

Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation S02 E07

Sightings Surge
22 Aug. 2020

Lue Elizondo calls on a new technology to analyze a series of UFO videos all recorded in 2019–a year that featured a huge increase in UFO sightings. While previously focusing on U.S. Military eyewitnesses, the team broadens its focus to civilian accounts. Among the cases are a series of strange formations of craft reported by civilians in Colorado. Connections to UFO sightings by the U.S. Military are explored.

MULTIPLE WITNESSES: Triangle UFO over New Jersey 14-Sep-2020

Literally hundreds of witnesses probably saw a UFO in the sky above New Jersey. From the videos it looks like a TR-3B (you can find more info about TR-3B triangle UFOs at this link). This happened on Monday, 14th September 2020 and videos about this phenomena are still being uploaded online.

Here are some of the videos:

Others saw the blimp earlier in the day, posting images of it flying over New Jersey to Twitter.

Though some will be disappointed they were duped by their own beliefs last night, at least one Twitter user — @linobrescia — has a new claim to fame, thanks to this oddly typical Internet moment.
