Disturbing Sculpture Appears in Toronto Park ...
Disturbing Sculpture Appears in Toronto Park ...
A sculpture of a female figure with horns, carrying two lanterns and hidden in a forested area of High Park does not appear to have been created for any nefarious purpose.
The human-sized figure was spotted in the forest near Colborne Lodge by a member of the Weird Toronto Facebook group. The post in the group drew speculation of its purpose.
Some thought it was beautiful, and others thought it odd.
"Looks like something from Stranger Things," one person wrote.
The statue is in the woods off a small trail near Colborne Lodge.
Others thought it was a Satan-like form and recalled the witches' circle of stones that were once in the park in around the same area.
Another person posted the piece was actually created by a friend.
The person behind the sculpture, who goes by the name MA, told blogTO the piece is a work of guerrilla art.
The statue was built over about three weeks this summer, MA said via email.
Originally intended to be a male figure, the statue was changed to female after it was vandalized.
"An archetypal pagan form with definite female characteristics just seemed to work," MA said. "I guess it's partly an homage to pagan worship of nature, and partly just to be a bit weird and get people talking."
The sculpture is made with natural materials along with a rebar and concrete.
MA decided to create the piece after creating several two-dimensional graffiti pieces were vandalized.
"Basically I was tired of seeing art being defaced for the sake of a cheap laugh, and realized that going 3D was not only more permanent but also visually commands a bit more respect as far as guerrilla art goes," the artist said.
The piece is made from concrete and rebar for structural stability, recycled stone and brick mortared into a wire frame and copper pipe inside for irrigation and water drainage.
Compacted earth fills all the crevices "for grass and plant material to naturally envelop her over time and become part of the piece."
The park was chosen because for its environment.
"High Park is a special place for me, and despite being in the middle of a concrete jungle it is still a fairly quiet and beautiful green space where you can be alone and take things in."
The park has a lot of traffic, but MA intentionally picked a spot that wasn't too near any main trails.
The lanterns were part of the original piece but people have added lights and an offering jar.
"I like the idea of it being in a more or less secluded place and that it might catch the odd person's eye if they should ever veer off the beaten path and go exploring, it adds mystery and it's a conversation piece that way," MA said.
Since the statue has been in place, people have added battery-powered string lights, and an offering jar by her feet, which is fine with the artist.
"Once a piece is out there, to some extent it isn't really yours anymore," MA said. "It becomes public domain, and takes on a life of its own. That's what I want, to inspire through obscurity."

Aliens Are Hiding Among Us after Striking Deal with US Government
The extraterrestrials struck a deal with the US government to stay hidden and will only reveal themselves when humanity is ready, former Israelis space boss General Haim Eshed claims

Aliens are hiding among us after striking a deal with the US government, a former Israeli space boss has bizarrely claimed. Professor Haim Eshed, 87, says extraterrestrials have struck a deal with the US to stay silent while they conduct experiments on Earth and will only reveal themselves when mankind is ready.
The retired general, who headed Israel’s Space program for almost 30 years, claims the aliens have a secret base on Mars, the Jewish Press reports.
But according to the general and now professor, the alien race had to intervene to stop Donald Trump from blowing their cover and revealing their secrets.
Professor Haim Eshed, who has a doctorate in aeronautical engineering, says he has “nothing to lose” in sharing the information (Image: Haim Eshed)
The former Israeli space boss suggests the alien visitors come in peace (Image: Getty Images/Collection Mix: Sub) Speaking to Israeli newspaper Yedioth Aharonoth, Prof Eshed said: “The aliens have asked not to announce that they are here. Humanity is not ready yet.” “The UFOs have asked not to publish that they are here. Humanity is not ready yet.”
According to Prof Eshed, Mr. Trump also negotiates with senior extraterrestrials via calls to world leaders such as Kim Jong-un. He added: “Trump was on the verge of revealing, but the aliens in the Galactic Federation are saying ‘wait, let people calm down first’,” he told the Israeli paper.
Aliens had to stop Donald Trump when he seemed to be “on the verge” of revealing their secrets, the former space boss claims. He allegedly gave permission for the Navy to report UFO’s are real. “They don’t want to start mass hysteria. They want to first make us sane and understanding.”
The term ‘Galactic Federation’ has been used in works of science fiction, including the TV phenomenon Doctor Who. Prof Eshed did not say how long the aliens have been hiding in the shadows but claims they have signed a contract with the US “to do experiments here.”
He said the extraterrestrials will not reveal themselves until mankind has evolved and reached a stage where we will “generally understand what space and spaceships are.”
Prof Eshed also claims the alien race have a secret base on Mars. The US Government signed secret agreements with a Galactic Federation in order to do experiments and establish an underground base on Mars for American astronauts and alien representatives.
Prof Eshed holds a bachelor’s degree in electronics engineering, a master’s degree in performance research and a doctorate in aeronautical engineering.
The respected academic suggests that some of the presumed contact took place during Trump’s leadership and referred to an agreement between the US government and the alien race.
He claims the extraterrestrials, who come in peace, wanted to study “the fabric of the universe” by working with American agents. In December 2020, Eshed claimed in an interview with Yediot Aharonot that the United States government had been in contact with extra-terrestrial life for years and had signed secret agreements with a galactic federation in order to do experiments and [10]
He also stated that US president Donald Trump was aware of this and was ‘on the verge’ of informing everyone of their existence, but was stopped by the galactic federation, who wished to prevent mass hysteria.[11
President Eisenhower Met Aliens
Eisenhower had contract with the aliens may have taken place when President Eisenhower was in office as he was extremely interested in UFOs and ETs: there is evidence that he met with ETs secretly, at least three times.
Once at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) in California and twice at Holloman AFB in New Mexico. Since the Eisenhower meetings, other instances of UFOs landing at or near Holloman AFB have been reported.
1954 Eisenhower ET Meeting at Edwards AFB
President Eisenhower, who had been a five-star Army general, always had a “strong belief in life on other planets.” In February 1954, he was spending several days in Palm Springs on vacation. He disappeared for several hours one Saturday afternoon and even missed a scheduled public dinner. He was not seen again until late the following morning.
The press questioned Ike’s whereabouts, so the White House Press Secretary told them that Ike had chipped a tooth and gone to see a dentist. Even at that time, rumors were that he was visiting ETs at nearby Edwards AFB. The dentist’s story falls apart upon close inspection. Washington Post Staff Writer, Peter Carlson, denies the story of the chipped tooth and calls it a cover-up.
Another little known fact is that Eisenhower had also been a pilot.
Meeting Agenda from Eisenhower Museum Showing his Doodling of Triangle UOs
The Eisenhower Presidential Library has detailed reports of all Eisenhower’s medical and dental records. There is no reference to a broken or chipped tooth or dentist visit related to the Palm Springs visit. The Library also has copies of acknowledgments that were sent to everyone Eisenhower had contact with while in Palm Springs. There were records of people who met the airplane, people who sent flowers, and the minister who gave the sermon at the Sunday service he attended, and others who played minor roles. But there is no proof of a note sent to a dentist. Years later, the dentist’s widow said she had no recollection of ever being told by her husband that he had done dental work on the President.
Corroborating Evidence of the ET Visit
William Cooper, who was on the Naval Intelligence briefing team and had access to classified documents, is a credible witness. His Review of Those Documents revealed that ETs had had contact with Earth. They had warned that the Earth was “on a path of self-destruction” and they wanted to meet to help effectuate a long-lasting peace.
Meeting with Eisenhower
The first meeting with the aliens and President Eisenhower occurred at Edwards AFB in February 1954. Navy Commander Charles L. Suggs reported that his father had attended the meeting between Ike and the ETS. Eisenhower met with two Nordic appearing, blue-eyed ETs. A third one stood near the door as a lookout.
Alleged Meeting at airfield with aliens
The discussions were polite. Eisenhower wanted to effectuate a treaty with the aliens but was unwilling to agree to their demand that we cease testing nuclear weapons. The aliens left with no treaty in place but returned the next year to Holloman AFB in New Mexico, not too far from the famous Roswell alien aircraft crash site, for a subsequent meeting with Eisenhower.
I asked Chief of Staff General Goodpaster about Eisenhower drawing both triangle and disc shaped craft on his meeting agendas? He explained that the President was an artist and doodled with a pencil almost continuously.
Gerald Light’s Letter
There is a corroborating story to the ET meeting with Ike at Edwards AFB. The accuracy of the story is difficult to confirm. A man named Gerald Light wrote a letter in April 1954 claiming to have been an eyewitness to the Edwards AFB meeting between Eisenhower and ETs. Light provided details such as watching Air Force officials studying five aircraft with the permission of their alien owners!
Some question the credibility of Light’s report since he was known to have a love of the occult and claimed to be clairvoyant, but others like Meade Layne, the former director of Borderland Sciences Research Foundation, confirms and believes Light did know first-hand what occurred.

“Victor One” on Saturday, March 16, 1957 at 8:00 AM. President Eisenhower, Vice President Richard Nixon, the Joint Chiefs of Staff–all rush to the Oval Office to meet with the extraterrestrial. When Valiant Thor who was from Venus explains his presence, the men ponder his endless technological possibilities. He warned of the dangers of nuclear war. Also he could provide the secrets of good health a long life.
They contemplate their future strategy either using friendship or force to gain control. Thor’s three year invitation to reside at the Pentagon under VIP status begins.
A designated General in the Joint Chiefs of Staff has plans to climb the military ladder. Thor is his goal. To attain what Thor knows will ensure the United States military supremacy. Thanks to Frank Chili
Aliens May Live on Space Ships
Sam Sherman the president of Independent International Pictures writes, “Where do Aliens come from? When interviewed for my still-unreleased film- “Beyond This Earth”. Astronaut Col. Gordon Cooper spoke about one reported instance where: “Aliens were living on their ships, as they had lost their sun in their own solar system”. A possible hypothesis may be that some ET groups live on large ships or space platforms, as has been reported, not on planetary bodies, and these huge crafts loop in and around our planet. Further they send out smaller scout craft for missions (whatever they may be) to Earth. They may have traveled great distances here over decades or hundreds of years and their huge ships serve as replacement and space-faring planets. Thanks to Sam Sherman.
Interior of Spaceship
Editor’s Notes: With Earth’s population growing so quickly NASA seriously considered developing a city in space. The concept and artist’s drawing is contained in Ernest Jahn’s and Margaret Sachs book “Celestial Passengers UFO’s and Space Travel.” A space colony habitat was designed by NASA Ames Research Center to carry several hundred thousand people. The space habitat would be 16 miles long by four miles wide and have its own atmosphere and clouds. Only 2% of the materials would come from Earth, the remaining 98% would come from the moon. Not only does it yield an abundant supply of substances such as aluminum, concrete, soil, oxygen, and probably water, but lifting the materials off the moon will require twentieth the energy needed to lift them off Earth, because the Moon has such weak gravitational pull. We have to remember that Earth also is a spaceship. On Earth there are dangers in the form of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and tornadoes. If aliens were living not too far from Earth in space they may have a few minute rides to visit us. The dark eyes often described by abductees may be permanent eyeglasses to protect sensitive eyes from the glare of our powerful sun or the bright light created by their propulsion systems.
It happens there five places in space (L-1 thru L-5) in space known as Lagrangian Libration Points where a space ship can stay with little if any energy needed. L-4 and L-5 are particularly well balanced where the gravitational and centrifugal forces of the Earth and Moon cancel each other out. Any object within one of these roughly spherical areas would remain orbiting around the Earth just as our Moon does. This is roughly a 60 degree angle in front and behind the moon essentially along its orbital path. Astronomers may wish to examine that portion of the sky to see if any small moonlets or space ships are orbiting our Earth.
“Filaments found in the CI1 meteorites have also been detected that exhibit structures consistent with the specialized cells and structures used by cyanobacteria for reproduction.

Brinkley Convinced She Saw A UFO in Crete
Christie Brinkley and her daughter Sailor Cook Alexa Ray Joel performs at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
Ageless stunner Christie Brinkley is convinced she once saw a Ufo when she was living in Crete.
The model and actress insists she has been a believer there’s life on other planets ever since. Brinkley, the former wife of rocker Billy Joel, recalls seeing four bright lights in the sky as she was shopping one day.
She says, “This is in broad daylight and the lights are very bright. All of a sudden all four of the lights shot over the mountain to the other side of Crete.”Returning to her harbor village, she learned the lights had disappeared beneath the sea. She adds, “There were no reports of any planes or anything like that and it just went under the water and never re-appeared.”
The Catalina Sky Survey consists of nine astronomers using two modest telescopes in Arizona and one in Australia. The team refurbished a long-unused telescope at Mount Lemmon with a 60-inch mirror, NASA provides $1 million per year — peanuts in astronomy circles. As it happens, astronomers at the Catalina telescope in Australia and other sites around the world took pictures of the NEO after Hill discovered it the night of my visit, allowing the Minor Planet Center to calculate its orbit. The results had been posted online: but the asteroid didn’t threaten Earth. Before Ed Beshore joined the survey in 2002, he was skeptical that he’d spot any hazardous asteroids. “Then I realized, my God, the sky is full of these things,” he says. “I have more perspective that yes, this could happen, we might get hit. It would be really satisfying to find an object and then do something about it.”
Don Yeomans runs the lab’s NEO clearinghouse at JPL in Pasadena, which is our planetary-defense headquarters.We don’t let our guard down, even for a day,” Yeomans says. “It’s our job to monitor the inner solar system and make sure none of these objects gets close to the Earth.” The tracking starts at the Minor Planet Center, which archives data from a global network of professional and amateur astronomers. “We inventory the solar system,” says center director Tim Spahr. “If the world wants to know about an asteroid, we have the catalog.”
The JPL team takes orbit data from the Minor Planet Center and refines it, asteroid by asteroid. A computer program called Sentry projects each NEO’s orbit for 100 years. Once an asteroid starts approaching Earth, it will do so again and again. A 900-foot-wide asteroid called Apophis caused a stir in 2004 when JPL calculated there was a 3 percent chance it would slam into Earth in 2029.
Beshore and Hill are part of the Catalina Sky Survey, which has found about 2,500 NEOs in the past decade—including 577 in 2009. The rocks range from the size of tables to mountains. Most will bypass Earth. But NEOs have plowed into our planet countless times before, and will do so again.
In the desert 175 miles north of Tucson, Meteor Crater is the scar where a boxcar-size hunk of iron slammed into Earth 50,000 years ago. The crater is nearly a mile wide and 550 feet deep, edged with layers of warped and shattered rock. The asteroid blew up with the energy of the largest hydrogen bombs ever detonated on Earth, vaporizing the desert and unleashing deadly supersonic winds for many miles.
Hundreds of known NEOs are more than a mile wide. If an asteroid that big struck Earth, firestorms could produce worldwide clouds of soot that would block sunlight and plunge the planet into an “asteroid winter.” That happens every few million years, scientists estimate. Once every 100 million years or so, an even larger asteroid may cause a mass extinction; most scientists believe a six-mile-wide asteroid doomed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Astronomers with the Catalina survey find new NEOs almost every night. They start by taking four pictures of the same patch of sky, with ten minutes between each exposure, and compare them on a computer screen. While background stars shine in the same place in each image, NEOs appear as four distinct dots along a straight line. The astronomers are skilled at ruling out man-made satellites, electronic sparks from cosmic rays and other streaking objects that could be mistaken for an NEO. “They look at everything with the human eye,” NASA’s Yeomans says. “They’ve been doing it for so long, and they’re so dedicated.”

Mars Square, Writing, Face and Tubes
I finally found the image on Mars that I had tried to transmit to you some time ago.
Note the square object in the center with what appears to be a plume of dust rising from the upper left of the square object. Mining Device? Gary L. Prowant
Possible Martian in cave Norman Bryden writes, “There is little chance of NASA being honest about any data regarding intelligent civilizations on other celestial spheres. They ignore and deny the data and evidence.”Notice face like structure at center of the image with numerous tube like structures. The tube like structures could hold building s and a transportation system. Tubes would be ideal for containing the small amount of atmosphere and water available on MarsMOC narrow-angle image R09-04155
President Harry Truman Realized That UFO’S Were Real.
Retired Army Col. John Alexander, 77-year-old former Green Beret A-Team commander and developer of non-lethal weapons at Los Alamos, N.M., says UFO disclosure has already occurred, and that the ultimate solution to UFOs is more complex than most people think.
JohnAlexander
Disclosure has happened,” Alexander told AOL News. “It starts with former presidents Truman, Carter, Reagan and [the Soviet Union’s] Gorbachev. I’ve got stacks of generals, including Soviet generals, who’ve come out and said UFOs are real. My point is how many times do senior officials need to come forward and say this is real?”
“At one time, before a lot of this information was released, I could see both the classified and the unclassified material. And I will tell you that 98 percent of the information was already in the public domain. The only things that weren’t there was stuff like sources and method, which is protected, but the information about the incident was already out there.”
Alexander quotes President Harry Truman: “I can assure you the flying saucers, given that they exist, are not constructed by any power on Earth.”
Several years ago, a group of ex-military officers came forward to discuss their experiences when UFOs reportedly tampered with American nuclear missile sites. While Alexander acknowledges the events, he suggests why there was no intense intelligence investigation of these incidents.
“They absolutely happened, but when it’s a one-time event, the attitude of investigators is: If it happens again, we’ll get nervous, but since it didn’t happen, put it aside.”It’s sort of an indictment that says, despite overwhelming evidence of interaction with strategic systems, nothing was done. And in my view, it is put, like a number of things, in the too-tough-to-handle bin.” In his new book, “UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies and Realities,” Alexander writes, “UFOs are real!With no prevarication or qualification of terms, there are physical objects of unknown origin that do transit our universe. The evidence that supports those statements is simply over whelming. “The evidence he speaks of includes the hard data of sensor technology that has frequently confirmed the reality of physical craft and the high quality of extremely reliable eyewitnesses who are “neither misreporting facts nor delusional.”
“The problem is, when you discuss UFOs, we are talking everything from little balls of light to hard craft a mile or more across, and everything in between. So what is it?” Alexander asked.”I argue that, not only are we not solving the problems yet, we’re not even asking the right questions, because we approach this wrong. I suspect that consciousness is a piece of the puzzle. We talk about UFOs, saying it’s a technology that’s 1,000 years in advance, but it really isn’t. If you follow the history of these things, usually it is somewhat in advance, but not beyond our comprehension by any stretch of the imagination.
“The conundrum you get into is, yes, they are seen by sensors; however, at other times, they are not seen by sensors that should’ve seen them, and that’s one I can’t answer.”Thanks to the Daily Galaxy. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJwww.worldufophotos.org
General Ramey
Note: 8th Air Force Commander General Ramey’s wife Latane and their two children still survive and, according to the last information I received, are still living in Denton. Son Kent is a pilot for Delta Air Lines. I talked to Latine one several occasions and she told me her sons did not want her to talk about aliens. She said her husband died unexpectedly at 57, and he had expected to become chief of the Air Force due to their close friendship with President Truman. Apparently they met when the Roswell UFO debris and alien were brought to Brigadier General Ramey’s Headquarters at Fort Worth. I took Elaine Sheppard out to dinner. She was a Colonels wife who had a radio show in Washington and had become a good friend of Latane Ramey and t Col. Blandford wife who was Commanding Officer of the 509th Bomber wing and Roswell AAFB during the Roswell Incident. Elaine told me the three women y had planned to write a book about the Roswell aliens based on what their husband’s ha tool them.
Those officers involved got promoted numerous times. By 1966, Blanchard was a 4-star general, Vice Chief of Staff, and a “sure bet” for the Joint Chiefs General Ramey became a 3 star general and he and his wife became good friends of President Truman because they observed the alien and UFO debris.

UFO Sightings in the United States
Sightings are from MUFON CMS
California Object
Riverside– June 7, 2019, I awoke the following morning to see that my video doorbell ad recorded this video. I see planes in the distance but nothing this big and bright. You can see there are two very bright objects approaching from opposite directions. The planes never do that and never come that close together. I’ve lived here for years and seen lots of planes both day and night but nothing like this…nothing this big. Also the strangeness of the video getting turned on to capture it while I was sleeping.
Colorado Object
Denver – On December 5, 2020, my boyfriend and I were pulling up to our place, at 2:45 and I saw this object, to the south of us. I went to third floor of our building to get a better view and it continued to gradually move west, changing from solid black to very bright, like it was catching the reflection of the sun. The sun was so bright I couldn’t see my screen to keep it in focus. After I took the video, I saw TWO of the same thing! The other was to the right and higher than the original object. I’m sorry that the video is mostly junk; I’ve just never seen anything like that.
Florida Lights
Riviera Beach – On November 1, 2020, yellowish globe discolored a cloud at 8 pm on November 2020, during a full moon over the ocean. Yellow spot moved up out of cloud and became a larger orange glowing spot. It was about 1 mile away. We were photographing the full moon so I have a photo of it behind the cloud. It started to meander west towards us, picked up speed and appeared as an orange glowing craft but no sharp edges. It had soft glowing edges. In 10 seconds it was right over our balcony. It hovered over us for 3 seconds then took off continuing west at lightning speed.
Idaho Cylinder from Plane
Kingston – On December 5, 2020, I am a commercially rated pilot with ~220 flight hours in small aircraft. I am professionally trained to identify and avoid other aircraft. I was in a commercial airline (A321) going from KCLT to KSEA as a passenger. The flight was AA2274 and the UFO was located 10NM, at 30,000 feet above Enaville, Idaho (The craft appeared to have a small amount of relative motion from West to East, on a heading on 110 degrees moving slowly. It did not display several of the features I frequently see on airliners. Despite being at a nearly 15 degree angle above it, I could not make out any sort of wings or vertical stabilizer. I’d say its most prominent feature was its total lack of easily identifying features.
All aircraft flying above FL180, aka 18,000ft are legally required to be on an Instrument Flight Rules flight plan and receive ATC clearance prior to ascending into the airspace, they also contain an ADS-B system which automatically reports the aircrafts location, heading, speed, tail #, etch
Maryland Disc
Frederick – On July 7, 2014, after my birthday I was at Monocacy Battlefield I took photos of the light posts facing south. Upon uploading the images I spotted what I thought was dust but when I enlarged the image it was not dust and did not look like a bird or a craft. The spot is near the bottom of the photo just above the tree line. The photos I took before and after the one with the “object” show nothing and I was shooting multiple shots to get the best one in natural light
Missouri Light
Weldon Spring— Took this photo on October 30 , 2020, at 11:47pm with a new Samsung note 20 ultra phone. I was just testing camera night vision on the new phone. I checked before taking the photo and there was nothing moving in the sky, thought I was taking pictures of just the moon and stars. When I zoomed in to review the pictures, one of the stars looks more like some type of air craft. Keep in mind, this object was stationary and not moving when photo was taken. I’ve attached 3 photos. One is original with the object circled, then one zoomed in and last one zoomed and enhanced to show a clearer image.
Oregon Orb
Beverton – On December 2, 2020, took these photos at 6:30 AM. I saw the objects on the way to work. I took a photo of it specifically. It definitely did not look like the moon.
Note:The object is not Venus. Venus was visible, but very low on the horizon. The object is too big for a planet. The shape in the photo could be due to “camera movement,” but this is not known. The object seems to be “somewhat” triangular shaped. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Washington Lights
Paso— On October 19, 2020, on my way into the house on a sunny day I looked up and saw what I thought was a Mylar balloon that had escaped. As I continued to look at it, I discounted it as a Mylar balloon as it seemed to be much too high and large for a balloon and more triangular or cube shaped. It also appeared solid. It slowly rotated and the sun glinted off one of its surfaces. That happened two or three times as I watched it rotate. It seemed to be gray on some sides but then shiny on the other as it reflected the sunlight. I estimated it to be above 5,000 ft but less than 10,000. It lacked wings, navigation lights, anti-collision lights, or any kind of lights as required by the FAA for flight. It drifted to the NE silently. I do live by PSC and there are several flights a day as well as navy aircraft practicing takeoffs and landings. It was definitely not an aircraft. I hold an FAA aviation maintenance technician certificate and I could not identify this object as any aircraft.
Washington D.C. Objects
D.C. – On December 15, 2020, 2 black objects were hovering in the sky
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Sighting
Townsville—February 6, 2019, this was taken on my smart phone and I’ve decided to finally bring it out. For most of my life I get feelings or a wanting to go outside and look up and while sometimes I will see something there incredible, but a lot of the time I just point the camera at the sky and then look back over the footage. In this video I did not see it with my eyes until I looked back over the footage. It is actually slowed right down using a slow motion app which obviously hindered the quality a bit. The video starts in normal speed then it switches to the part of the craft entering. The feeling I knew that this had come into shot was that of amazement and complete gratitude to have this experience
Canada Lights
Quebec– On October 15, 2020, the lights were both stationary above the block in front of my house … time to take my cell phone and open the patio door they had come up … then one was turned off and after the two on and then off.
Poland d Disc
Warsaw – On July 30, 2020 captured this picture over Poland. The very important fact is that the sky was clear when I looked with the naked eye. At the same time – looking by the camera – I saw many weird objects, different shapes flying next to each other. I am sure something was going on in the sky on this particular day!
UK/England Light
Washington – On November 25, 2020, I observed 3 red glowing craft at different times over a 2 hour period, they were all flying due east, before I had the chance to video these 3 craft’s they all just vanished before my eyes the fourth craft I managed to video for just a few seconds, this craft was just a metallic silver, unfortunately I was unable to zoom in on this craft as it went beyond my line of sight over roof tops, I went to the front of my home to see if I could get more videos, but was unable to find the craft again.

Put another way, a young person in the U.S. is nearly 11 times as likely to die in a swimming pool than in a school shooting. Few public officials would say pools are doing a poor job protecting swimmers, but the statistics suggest that we need “more lifeguards at pools, as opposed to guards at schools,” Fox said

Top 10 UFO Sightings in Britain
Top 10 UFO Sightings in Britain
UFOs aren’t just an American phenomenon, you know! For this list, WatchMojo UK counts down the most bizarre, intriguing and unexplained UFO sightings in the UK. Whether it’s strange flying discs, inexplicable flashing lights, or ominous dark shadows… these things have helped to build UFO folklore all around the world, and they’ve all happened on just this one small island!
Legendary Ark Of Noah Was Actually A DNA Lab And The Great Flood Was NOT Natural
Legendary Ark Of Noah Was Actually A DNA Lab And The Great Flood Was NOT Natural
We already know that the story from Noah’s Ark actually did happen in ancient times. If you don’t think so then just look at all of the cities that are submerged underwater as we speak. There are over 250 of them under the Black Sea, and guess what, none of them were originally built by fish.
There are also buildings that were under construction when the flooding happened, as we have observed in the many submerged cities from Peru, Scotland, Malta and Egypt.
But what or who could have caused this flooding?
Amongst some of the most popular iterations lies the Mahabharata. This is a collection of Hindu texts which speaks of ancient civilizations that lived amongst deities and waged war on one another with their flying machines known as the Vimanas.
The Mahabharata texts speak of how these Vimanas could shoot light beams that were akin to nuclear missiles going off, which we have proof of having occurred in real life.
Remember the ancient bunkers that were built thousands of years before the Hiroshima bombing?
God is apparently the one to have caused this flooding to begin with, but what if God was never a deity, to begin with, but an extraterrestrial instead? After all, what is he, other than just a very powerful being that came from the sky and completely dominated us physically and mentally?
Many believe that the Great Flood from Noah’s Ark was actually an experiment by the so-called God. He orchestrated everything, making Noah’s Ark an important DNA Bank or a DNA lab of some sort at the time.
Many believe that it is impossible to store the billions of species on Earth on a simple ark, but we actually managed to recreate this in 2008 on the Arctic Island of Svalbard. We were able to store the seeds of hundreds upon thousands of planets there in case another cataclysmic event takes us down for good.
That’s quite a question! For years – decades, in fact – there have been rumors to the effect that there’s a secret U.S. program to quickly retrieve damaged, malfunctioning and crashed alien spacecraft. Many UFO researchers point their fingers in the direction of a project that goes back to the 1950s. For years, it was titled Project Moon Dust (also spelled Moondust). Today, however, it has a classified title. Mention the operation to a lot of Ufologists and they’ll tell you that Moon Dustis the key to the secrets of where crashed Saucers and dead aliens are stored away. But, are their thoughts and conclusions correct? Nope. Time and again I have seen UFO researchers say that the available Moon Dust documentation (via the Freedom of Information Act) proves that UFOs have crashed. Actually, in relation to aliens, it doesn’t prove anything at all. If you do what I have done – namely, to go through all of the declassified Moon Dust papers (which amounts to thousands of pages) – you’ll see that for the U.S. military, government, and intelligence community, the term “UFO” meant something very different. For most people, if you use the term “UFO” they will assume you are talking about extraterrestrial spacecraft. And that’s totally understandable. A careful and close look at the available files, however, shows that for the Moon Dust teams, “UFO” – on almost every occasion – meant captured Soviet hardware: aircraft, parts of satellites, missiles gone off-course and so on. It did not mean “extraterrestrials.” That doesn’t take away the fact that the history of the program wasn’t fascinating. It certainly was. Now, with that all said, let’s take a look at some of the cases under the Moon Dust microscope.
One now-declassified Moon Dust document states:”On 30 September 1960, a TWX report was sent to the Pacific Air Forces on a sighting of an unidentified object that entered the water near the village of Ctaru. The report originated with the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force (GSDF) headquarters and was relayed to us by the Japanese Air Self Defense Force (JASDF). According to the report, a fiery object fell from the sky and into the sea, making a fountain of water which was described as looking like a ‘geyser.’ Technical intelligence personnel from Tokyo took over the case, but were unable to locate or reclaim the object.” Additional documentation was that the most likely scenario was space debris. Another document says: “On 11 October 1960, a pilot over the beach east of Kisawa observed an orange flash on the horizon. He described the phenomenon as being distinct and looking like a great bubble. The area in which the phenomenon could be observed was along the southern coast of the Soviet Kuril Islands.” And, there’s also this one: On 14 September 1960, a pilot was flying an F-86D between an overcast above and below him when a greenish-white object appeared from the overcast above him. The object fell straight down, and disappeared in the overcast below. The object was described as looking like a green pea. Preliminary investigation could not identify any balloons or other known objects in the area which could have accounted for the sighting.” Eventually it was shown to have been a balloon.
A 1965 document declassified by the CIA, a copy of which is in the Moon Dust files, is titled: “Fragment, Metal, Recovered in the Republic of the Congo, Origin Believed to be an Unidentified Flying Object,.” It provides the following: “The purpose of this report is to present the results of the exploitation of a metallic fragment recovered near the town of [illegible] in the Republic of the Congo. Fragment recovery was the result of a ground-level search which was coordinated after an unidentified flying object exploded and fell to earth in the area. The sighting and recovery took place sometime between 10 and 15 October 1965. Other than a reported east-to-west direction of flight for the UFO, specific observation and recovery details are lacking.” The final outcome was something that had come off an aircraft that had caught fire in the air.” Yet again, we see the use of the word “UFO,” but not in the context of an alien ship.
Then, there is a Department of State telegram of August 1967 from the American Embassy at Khartoum to Washington. It states: “Local press 17 Aug 1967 reported that a satellite, cube shaped, weighing approximately three tons discovered 3 August 50 miles from Kutum. Satellite described as made of soft metal presumably light aluminum in oblong cubes measuring two inches by one inch tightly fastened together and covered by a silky material. Nationality not identified as no inscriptions evident on outer surface. Local authorities in El Fasher have photographs and with difficulty cut samples.” It did indeed amount to parts from a space satellite. But, the recovery was handled by Moon Dust, whose teams used the word “UFO.” Thus, a UFO legend was created. Now, is it possible that the Moon Dust teams really did recover fallen alien technology? Yes, it’s possible – and, certainly, Moon Dust would have been the perfect project to perform such retrievals of UFOs. If only there were some evidence. There isn’t. So, in finality, if you happen to see the term “UFO” in a government report, remember that it doesn’t necessarily mean the references are to “aliens,” extraterrestrials,” “non-humans,” or…well, the list goes on.
PS: In my next article, we’ll see how a near-identical situation took place in the U.K. – and, if needed, still does.
ALERT: COMETS ARE SWARMING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. MACHHOLZ2 PASSES CLOSER THAN ANY KNOWN COMET TO DATE?
ALERT: COMETS ARE SWARMING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. MACHHOLZ2 PASSES CLOSER THAN ANY KNOWN COMET TO DATE?
IT’S BEEN A FEW DECADES SINCE TAKING AN ASTRONOMY LECTURE. STILL, I REMEMBER PEOPLE WAITING A YEAR OR EVEN TWO IN ORDER TO CATCH A RARE GLIMPSE OF ANY COMET.HECK EVEN HALLY’S WAS NOTHING BUT A SMUDGE OF SLIGHTLY GLOWING COTTON BALL. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT.
SO HOW MANY COMETS ARE VISIBLE TODAY? WELL, I’VE LOST COUNT AS TWO SEPARATE COMETS ARE CURRENTLY VISIBLE ON TWO DIFFERENT SATELLITES.
EVERYOINE KNOWS WHY SO MANY COMETS HAVE STREAMED IN TOWARDS THE SUN. THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY BROUGHT HERE. BY WHAT? AHEM! A LARGE TRANSNEPTONIAN OBJECT MOST LIKELY!
HERE IS A TECHNICAL VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS WHAT WE ARE SEEING. ALSO HERE IS A LIST BELOW THE VIDEO OF ALL THE COMETS WE ARE TRACKING.
IMPACT CONCERNS ARE NOT BEING VOICED REGARDING COMET MACHHOLZ2, HOWEVER, IT IS SET TO PASS CLOSER TO EARTH THAN ANY OTHER COMET IN RECENT HISTORY. ORBITAL DIAGRAMS AND TECHNICAL ARTICLES DO NOT AGREE ON EXACT ORBIT. THAT’S WIERD. FRAGMENTS SHOWERING EARTH ARE QUITE POSSIBLE IN SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.
NASA HAS MACHHOLZ2 PASSING BEHIND THE EARTH WHILE ESA DIAGRAM HAS IT PASSING IN FRONT OF EARTH. ALL DIAGRAMS SHOW THIS COMET PASSING ALMOST DIRECTLY UNDER OUR SOUTH POLE. PERIHELION DATES FOR EARTH DISAGREE BY A DAY OR TWO, SOME EARLIEST REPORTS HAVE ITS PERIHELION IN JANUARY BUT BY THESE DIAGRAMS THAT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE AS THIS COMET CROSSED VENUS’S ORBIT ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WE WILL BE TRYING TO FIND MACCHOLZ2 IN THE SKY O ER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND WILL REPORT IF IT IS VISIBLE. THE ONE MAJOR CONCERN ABOUT MACHHOLZ2 IS THAT IT HAS KNOWN FRAGMENTS. CLAIMS THAT IT FRAGMENTED ON PREVIOUS APPROACHES ARE NOT SUBSTANTIATED AS THIS COMET NEVER CAME CLOSER THAN VENUS TO THE SUN.
HERE IS THAT VIDEO AND MOST ORBBITAL ELEMENTS FOR THESE CURRENT COMETS. THE RESEARCHERS HAVE A SCIENCE CHANNEL ON PATREON PLATFORM THAT UPLOAD DAILY UPDATES REGARDING COVID AND THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
It brightened up to 5.6 mag in early December (Dec. 9, Marco Goiato). Now it is not observable. It will appear in the morning sky again in April. But then it will be fainter than 15 mag.
* C/2020 M3 ( ATLAS )
Now it is very bright as 8.5 mag (Dec. 9, Marco Goiato). In the Northern Hemisphere, it stays observable in excellent condition for a long time. In the Southern Hemisphere, it stays locating extremely low after this.
Now it is 10.0 mag (Dec. 9, Chris Wyatt). It stays observable in the evening low sky while it will be getting fainter gradually, until early January in the Southern Hemisphere, or late February in the Northern Hemisphere.
It brightened very rapidly in early December. Now it is very bright as 13.5 mag (Dec. 7, Michael Jager). In addition, Michael Jager observed two more components of 17.5-18.0 mag. It stays observable for a long time in this apparition.
* 156P/Russell-LINEAR

* C/2019 N1 ( ATLAS
It brightened up to 13.5 mag in summer (July 31, Ken-ichi Kadota). It is expected to brighten up to 12 mag from autumn to winter. In the Southern Hemisphere, it will appear in the morning sky in December, then it stays observable in good condition. In the Northern Hemisphere, it will be observable in the extremely low sky only from November to December.
It had been observed as 8-9 mag for a long time in 2020. Now it is not observable. It will appear in the morning sky at 14.5 mag
* C/2019 L3 ( ATLAS )
Now it is 14.2 mag (Nov. 23, Thomas Lehmann). It will brighten up to 11 mag in winter in 2022. In the Northern Hemisphere, it stays observable in good condition for a long time. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is not observable until 2021 November.
Date(TT)
* C/2017 K2 ( PanSTARRS )
Now it is 14.3 mag (Nov. 12, Toshihiko Ikemura, Hirohisa Sato). It is expected to be observable at 5-6 mag for a long time from 2022 to 2023. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is not observable at the high light from 2022 summer to 2023 summer. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is not observable now. But it will be observable in good condition at the high light.
* 11P/Tempel-Swift-LINEAR
It approached to Earth down to 0.5 a.u. in November, and it brightened very rapidly. Now it is very bright as 14.5 mag (Nov. 21, Michael Jager). It is observable in excellent condition. But it seems to fade out very rapidly after this.
* 246P/NEAT
It stays 13-14 mag from 2020 to 2021. It is not observable until January.
Now it is 14.8 mag (May 14, Toshiyuki Takahashi). It will brighten up to 13 mag in 2021. In the Southern Hemisphere, it becomes too low to observe temporarily from mid October to mid December. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is not observable until July in 2022.
Machholz 2,
set to pass very close to Earth. Only nobody can agree on how close.
There are many unexplained anomalies discovered in Antarctica over the years. This video shows a possible crashed flying saucer as well as other strange objects resembling alien or man-made craft.
2nd Video Of UFO Event Off Florida Coast, Dec 6, 2020, 2 videos, UFO Sighting News.
2nd Video Of UFO Event Off Florida Coast, Dec 6, 2020, 2 videos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Dec 6, 2020
Location of sighting: Ruskin, Florida, USA
This is the second video of the same event seen from the Florida coast. This line of UFOs were seen during sunset on Dec 5 or 6th of 2020. The UFOs lit up so well that you could see them miles away. Absolutely amazing and great evidence. Many UFO reports are coming in from Florida over the ocean area for the last few years, this only builds upon all the old sightings...which leads me to one conclusion. There is a very large alien base below the ocean floor about 5-7 miles off the coast of Florida. This base has huge UFOs...always looking yellowish orange lights. This is 100% proof that aliens have a base on US territory.

Christopher Columbus on Mars? Statues And Structures On Mars Surface, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: Dec 14, 2020
Location of discovery: Mars, Sol 2032
Man I love going through Mars photos, especially ones with such high quality detail as this one has. I found half a dozen face sculptures...most were about 3-4 inches across. One larger one was about 15 inches across, and another was a bust of a person that looked like Christopher Columbus...you know...wearing the round hat, long hair, human face...looks just like him. Also found some structure walls and buildings. Lots of fun guys, why not take a look? Click on the original source above and see if you can find them.

Orange Orbs Over Wheeling, Illinois On Dec 10, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Orange Orbs Over Wheeling, Illinois On Dec 10, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:Dec 10, 2020 Location of sighting: Wheeling, Illinois, USA
The eyewitness was outside with her family when then noticed some glowing orbs passing overhead. The orbs moved together and were perfectly round. The objects had no wings, sound, propellers or wings. Where they came from and where they were going no-one knows. Absolutely amazing catch. Love this raw footage.
Daytime UFO video: Triangle formation over Portsmouth, UK
Daytime UFO video: Triangle formation over Portsmouth, UK
Filmed in the sky above Portsmouth, United Kingdom on 16th October 2020 at 5:40 pm. What do you think about this footage?
Witness report:
3 bright orb like objects that initially appeared connected as one object but then started moving on their own seemingly independent of one another.
At approximately 17:40 (give or take a couple of minutes) myself and my girlfriend went onto my balcony to have a cigarette. I exited onto the balcony first and turned around to face the door from which my girlfriend was following me. Upon turning around, I immediately noticed 3 bright lights in the sky in a triangle shape up to my left. This was at about a 45-degree angle but was immediately visible from my peripheral vision without having to change my line of sight. My gut reaction was that this was not manmade, it looked like a traditional UFO for all intents and purposes. Before my girlfriend had even exited the door, I shouted at her to grab her phone and my binoculars as there was something strange in the sky. She did as requested and then joined me on the balcony.
The whole sighting lasted approximately 3 minutes from start to finish. For the first 45 seconds or so the lights all appeared to be the same size and shape, something resembling a circle or oval, spaced out in the shape of a traditional isosceles triangle. After about 45 seconds, however, the 3 lights visible started moving independently of one another. It appeared as though they remained connected in some way, as though attached by string, but the 3 lights looked as though they were rotating on their own axes. Once they did start to rotate it appeared as though one or more of these lights was not in fact circular/oval, but more rectangular/cigar shaped, particularly the front light of the triangle as it appeared to me.
For the first 45 seconds or so, before the objects started moving independently of one another it appeared as though the object was either stationary in the sky or moving very slowly towards my position. I would add that this object was directly to the north of my position (likely within a few degrees of true North). Due to the weather and the position I was standing in it was difficult to gauge exactly how high or how far away the object was. However, I would estimate that upon first sighting it was about the same height as a helicopter would fly in the sky. Again, due to its position in the sky I had no reference as to the size of the object(s) so it would be very difficult to estimate its size.
Over the course of the 3 minutes, it moved from my North to almost directly above my head (North to South) at a steady speed whilst the 3 lights were independently rotating and moving around in the sky but remaining close to one another. It was very much light when this sighting occurred, probably about an hour or so before the sun would set. The weather was grey/overcast, and the sky was filled with what I would describe as heavy looking rain clouds (Mammatus clouds). This did however help to make anything in the sky stand out quite prominently.
The object(s) in its original triangular form upon first sight was located below the lowest clouds. Over the course of the 3 minutes or so, as it was gradually moving from my north overhead, it also gradually increased in altitude so that it moved above the cloud cover. I continued to watch it for as long as I could between the clouds before it was no longer visible. Unfortunately, it did not shoot off at the speed of light but gradually disappeared from view. At no point did the object(s) emit any sound.
My girlfriend did attempt to record the object in the sky but was unable to capture anything. I also attempted to use the binoculars to get a better look, but these did not show me anything I couldn’t see with my own eyes. When viewed through the binoculars I could still not make out any solid shape, just 3 bright objects that were somewhere between bright white and a touch of yellow. Likewise, I could not see any solid object that connected these 3 independently rotating lights.
The balcony from which I witnessed this is in Portsmouth, a city of approximately 180,000 people and one of the main ports of the British royal navy. More specifically in Old Portsmouth, directly by the sea (I could throw a cricket ball into the camber from the balcony) and about 2km from the Naval base. I am 30 years old and have lived here for the majority of my life and am very familiar with the various planes and helicopters that fly overhead on a regular basis that are associated with the navy as well as the RLNI. I have also completed a Masters’ degree in US Foreign Policy and Counter Terrorism and became familiar with current drone technology, which I do not believe that this was.
Upon coming back inside myself and my girlfriend tried to work out what we had just seen (ranging from unusual weather phenomenon to shared delusion/hallucination). As previously stated, both of our gut instincts were that this did not originate from this planet, however we were determined to go through every possibility as seeing a UFO isn’t an everyday occurrence (neither of us have ever seen what we would describe to be a UFO before)! After hours of discussion the only logical explanation that she could come up with was that this was 3 drones – I can almost certainly rule this out. The only explanation I could muster was that this was 3 shiny weather balloons somehow tied together reflecting the light of the sun from the other side of the sky, not that myself or anyone else I know has ever seen weather balloons above Portsea Island, nor could I find any indication on the internet that any had been released. We both were, and remain convinced that these objects emitted light through their own sources – the sky was grey, and they were incredibly bright.
If this/these were either drones or weather balloons, I am pretty sure that the navy would have sent up an aircraft to investigate an unauthorised intrusion in what it would consider to be its airspace (for national security purposes). The fact that I have no recollection of any naval aircraft in the sky either before or after the sighting is also interesting. Assuming it wasn’t military related the only logical explanation that I can come up with as to why nothing was sent to investigate it is because it wasn’t seen, via radar or otherwise.
Attached with this is one photo and one video of the object(s). As mentioned, my girlfriend failed to capture any of this on her phone, whilst I was transfixed and more interested in observing it than caring about whether or not anyone would believe me when I told them about it afterwards. The following day, however, my girlfriend mentioned what we had seen to her housemate. I am told that he excitedly ran upstairs to grab his phone and came back down with a big grin on his face, exulting that he too had seen this mysterious thing in the sky. He had been out the previous afternoon/evening with a friend and had witnessed what we had seen, but his friend did manage to record it on his phone (as well as anything can be recorded on a phone!) I promptly requested that the photo and video be forwarded onto me. That being said I can confirm that what appears in the visual documentation is the same thing that me and my girlfriend witnessed, which allowed us to rule out the shared hallucinatory experience! The fact that a friend of a friend saw the same thing suggests to me that other people must have seen it too, although after excessive googling I am yet to find any other reports.
The above account took place two months ago, but I still remember it vividly. A lot of what is included is taken from a document I wrote straight after the event, to ensure that my recollection remained as accurate as possible. In the two months that have passed I still have no explanation as to what it was other than to surmise that it must have come from another planet/galaxy/parallel universe etc. I remain vigilant but am yet to see anything else.
N.B. You will notice that throughout my description I have referred to this phenomenon as being both singular and plural as I do not know whether this was one object or three.
Trying to figure out how to post this… saw this out my window last nite in central Islip
Manchester – 7 December 2020
It was stalybridge, greater Manchester , uk at 12.15 am I have a couple videos and a picture I will send you. If u could find out anything about it I would love to no thanks some my friends say its NASA station but I dont think so myself
18 yellowish lights flying one after another faster than a jet over the flatirons mountain in boulder to a triangle pattern star dissappering as if going through a portal
Pismo Beach, California – December 2020
An incredibly beautiful multi colored rainbow colored ever changing light systems dancing around the object as what looks like an orb farther away. But closer it looks as if its ever changing shape. We see these a lot off the coast but they’re farther away and of course smaller harder to see. This one was very close and very bright but the camera couldn’t capture it for some reason only the naked eye could or through binoculars. If you can zoom in on the video I submitted you can sort of see the changing rainbow light patterns. I zoomed in on the second video just using my iPhone editing so you can see it at two different points of view.
Callands Va – 11-20-20
Not sure what it was
Orlando – 15 November 2020
This was a sighting last night at 6:50 on i4 highway in Orlando
Lake Gaston , North Carolina – 13 November 2020
Seen by a few people over Lake Gaston , North Carolina tonight. Up to 5 lights and someone saw fireballs at sunset. We saw 4 lights, 2 sets running parallel really slow with no other lights. Right at sunset.
Rome, New York – Nov 3 2020 6pm
I live near griffis airforce base, my father was in the airforce in the 416th SSS unit. I have always seen them since I was kid. My house is near the direct path of the old b52 runaway. I see something almost every weekend. Alot drones, small planes, but the base is active, Blackhawks, c130, c17. I was in the 82nd Airborne so I know a plane lights from not.

My husband and i were driving though a cornfield here in Kansas, we both saw a half dome, bright red ufo moving slow and it was close enough to make out a white rim on the side, almost like a redbaseball cap with 3/4 of the white rim cut off. after about 2 mins it sped away at light speed into the horizon, we saw it up close and it was about half a mile above the ground and was huge. he believes it was there for us to see intentionally by god. i believe it was a tour bus of sorts showing alien life the fields of earth. whatever it was I hope other people have seen something similar, bc it was unforgettable.
Knoxville IL – 29th October 2020
Hi seen this in west central IL around Knoxville IL on oct 29 2020 around 7:38am I was just heading to work and was getting out of my van and happened to watch this for a few mins it surely wasn’t a plane . So after a few mins I decided to tape it on my phone I watched it until it went over the building and it was out of my sight but I didn’t hear a plane at all and it was lower to the ground than a regular airplane I normally see flying over when I’m at work . Don’t know what to make of it but it was a very clear day .
Ethiopia – September 2020
Hello I am living in Ethiopia I saw an orb of light pass over a farm I was staying at in September of 2020 it flew over my head at about 20 feet above me it was brighter than the sun it was pass 11 o’clock in the morning and was very big round and bright , what was it were did it come from??????
If you’ve ever been to a history museum, you may have seen a Venus figurine. They’re made from soft stones, clay, ivory, or bone, and depict very voluptuous feminine figures. In fact, some features are so exaggerated that anthropologists often questioned whether they even represent pregnant or obese women.
Most Venus figurines were carved some 26,000–21,000 years ago, although some were dated to at least 35,000 years ago. Researchers today interpret them as symbols of beauty and fertility, but the original meaning and purpose of these figurines is not known — they may have even served a ritual purpose, but little is known about them.
A new study looking at ancient famine and ice age variations suggests that the figures were indeed obese, but this represented a type of beauty standard or an ideal at the time.
Unusual art
Obesity is, for the most part, a modern problem — having too much food available is not something many of our ancestors could have bragged about. So what’s the deal with this type of art?
“Some of the earliest art in the world are these mysterious figurines of overweight women from the time of hunter gatherers in Ice Age Europe where you would not expect to see obesity at all,” said Richard Johnson, a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine specializing in renal disease and hypertension. “We show that these figurines correlate to times of extreme nutritional stress.”
Some 48,000 years ago, ancient humans in Europe were undergoing a period called the Aurignacian. The Aurignacians, people who lived in that period, had already established themselves as a force in the biological world. They hunted reindeer, horses, and mammoths with the spears and the tools they built. They also fished, and supplemented their diets by foraging for berries, nuts and plants.
But things took a turn for the worse for them. As the Ice Age set in, temperatures plunged and disaster struck. The ice sheets were advancing, it was getting colder and colder, and the ancestral lifestyle couldn’t be supported for most populations. Some moved south, in search of warmer climates. Others took refuge in forests, wreaking havoc on the ecosystem as they hunted and overhunted anything they could find.
It was in this period of generalized hunger that the Venus figurines emerged.
“During this period, humans faced advancing glaciers and falling temperatures that led to nutritional stress, regional extinctions, and a reduction in the population,” the authors note in the study.
Johnson and colleagues suspected this wasn’t a coincidence. They measured the waist-to-hip ratios and waist-to-shoulder-ratios of the figures and noted where the figures had been found. They then compared this map of locations with the map of known glaciers — the points where the temperatures were lowest and food was likely the scarcest.
They found an interesting trend: the closer the figurines were to glaciers, the more likely they were to have over-represented body ratios. In other words, the more people hungered, the more they looked at obesity as a standard.
“We propose they conveyed ideals of body size for young women, and especially those who lived in proximity to glaciers,” said Johnson, who in addition to being a physician has an undergraduate degree in anthropology. “We found that body size proportions were highest when the glaciers were advancing, whereas obesity decreased when the climate warmed and glaciers retreated.”
While this is somewhat speculative, it makes a lot of sense. It’s not uncommon for scarcity of resources to define ideals. An obese woman would have been more likely to deliver a child — although it’s unlikely that too many women were overweight at the time. However, the figurines may have had a spiritual meaning, a charm that would protect women through pregnancy and nursing children.
This idea is also backed by the fact that the figurines were worn down, suggesting that they were kept for many years, and possibly passed down through generations.
“The figurines emerged as an ideological tool to help improve fertility and survival of the mother and newborns,” Johnson said. “The aesthetics of art thus had a significant function in emphasizing health and survival to accommodate increasingly austere climatic conditions.”
The study has some limitations. The number of figurines was small to begin with, and the researchers didn’t have access to the actual sculptures — they had to rely on photographs for measurements (which means they couldn’t use measures like circumference). Researchers also note that the shift to leaner figurines could also mark a stylistic change rather than one relating to hunger.
There’s always some uncertainty when dealing with this type of study, but interdisciplinary methods, such as the ones deployed here, can help us better understand these ancient populations. In many ways, modern archaeology isn’t about finding new things — it’s about interpreting and putting them into context.
On Monday, NASA scientists announced they had detected molecular water on the Moon, trapped in ice across the lunar surface. From the data, they estimate there is some 40,000 square kilometers (more than 24,000 miles) of water on the Moon.
That much water has big implications for the ambitions to create a sustained human presence on the Moon. So can we actually drink it?
Short answer: Yes, we can, explains Shuai Li, an assistant researcher at the University of Hawaii’s Institute of Geophysics and Planetology. At least, in theory we can.
“It is water ice, the same as the water ice on Earth,” Li tells Inverse.
John Priscu, a professor at Montana University who studies the biochemistry of icy environments, agrees.
"Bottom line, if treated properly, it should be potable," he tells Inverse.
But the water on the Moon isn’t ready for astronaut's making cocktails yet.
First, scientists have to know more about what else may be swirling within that water.
WHAT’S IN THE MOON WATER?
Water on Earth isn’t always pure. Seawater, for instance, contains about 96.5 percent water, 2.5 percent salts, and then small amounts of organic material, and other unwelcome additions like microplastics, or atmospheric gasses.
Likewise, Moon water probably isn’t pure. Li says it is probably mixed with lunar regolith — a layer of loose debris ranging from 5 meters to 10 meters deep depending on where you are on the Moon. NASA describes the lunar regolith as a “fine gray soil” made of rock fragments from the Moon itself. It also contains remnants from the bombardment of tiny meteoroids, and clumps of material formed when those meteorites melt down sections of the existing regolith.
It’s likely that this “fine gray soil” ends up in the Moon water, but it’s not clear exactly what other compounds might be in there, Li adds. He says it probably depends on what region of the Moon the water comes from.
Water pulled from the illuminated regions of the Moon (not the poles, but the pale, visible regions) may be “dominated” by anorthosite, a white, calcium-rich rock. Scientists propose that anorthosite rocks are some of the oldest on the Moon, and were created when rock-forming minerals floated to the top of a magma ocean that once engulfed the Moon about 4.5 billion years ago.
Water present in larger craters may also be exposed to basaltic materials, Li says. These are found at the bottoms of craters formed by large meteor impacts, which would have melted the rock in those areas. About 29 percent of the near side of the Moon contains basalt, but it’s only found on about 2 percent of the far side of the Moon.
If remnants of the Moon’s past and other deposits from foreign meteoroids are present in the Moon water, it may not taste great right now. (But we don’t know for sure, Li notes.)
Priscu adds the Moon water could be a bit salty if drawn from regions where the process of sublimation has allowed salts to become concentrated. Sublimation is the process by which a solid becomes a gas without passing through the liquid phase.
BUT IF WE PURIFIED IT, IT WOULD LIKELY TASTE FRESH.
“If you can separate water from all other compounds, it will be pure water and has no taste,” Li says.
CAN WE GET ENOUGH OF THE WATER TO DRINK IT?
µLi was not involved in the NASA research published yesterday, but he has studied water on the Moon for years. In 2018, he published a paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences providing what was described as “definitive evidence” that the Moon had ice deposits on its northern and southern poles.
The poles could serve as a large water source, Li says. We need to know the thickness of the ice deposits to be sure, but Li estimates that there are “tens to hundreds of million tons of water at each pole.”
The Sun never shines on the Moon's poles, and temperatures there can dip to -250 degrees Fahrenheit. These are extreme environments and not very easily accessible.
The new papers reveal that the water sources on the Moon may not just be confined to frigid poles. Rather, the water appears scattered throughout the lunar surface in billions of tiny “cold traps,” according to one of the papers released Monday.
One cubic meter of lunar soil likely has enough water to fill a 12-ounce water bottle, Casey Honniball, a postdoctoral researcher at NASA, said at a press conference on Monday.
If we can mine it and purify it, it is quite possible that bottles of Moon water will one day quench the thirst of lunar inhabitants.
Google Earth frenzy as '60ft man-made disc' exposed by melting Antarctic ice
Google Earth frenzy as '60ft man-made disc' exposed by melting Antarctic ice
The conspiracy theorist who made the so-called discovery is convinced the object is "intelligently designed". But viewers on YouTube had some rather more plausible explanations
A Google Earth conspiracy theorist is convinced he has found a man-made flying saucer emerging from the melting ice in Antarctica.
YouTuber MrMBB333 made the apparent discovery after being sent the coordinates by a follower last week.
In a video posted to his channel, he zooms in on what seems to be a circular shape partially obscured by rocks.
“This appears to be a 60ft-wide disc sticking out of the ground apparently being recently revealed by the melting snow and ice,” he said.
“There is the object, it looks like it was intelligently designed.
“Half of it is under the ground the other half is on top of frozen snow and ice – you can tell this area started to thaw out.
“It is revealing this intelligently designed structure. That is not some random iceberg, that is a semi-circle.”
In his 9-minute-long video, the uploader edited the Google Earth images into negative format which he claimed also showed an “elevated circle” at the top of the structure.
He also suggested there was residue on the snow and ice emanating from the object.
The video has been seen a whopping 170,000 times since being shared on October 9, sparking a wave of suggestions from viewers in the comments section.
“It doesn't look stuck in the ground, it looks like it's hovering,” one bizarrely claimed.
“The black area under it looks like a shadow and if you look to your left, you will see a light source which looks like it's coming from inside of a cave or tunnel. This is a very interesting find.”
Another wrote: “Absolutely artificial. Someone said that, as the ice melted in Antarctica, we would begin to see ships reveal themselves and the government would have a very hard time explaining them away.”
GOOGLE EARTH MYSTERIES
A third agreed, saying: “That's 100% something else. That's way too obvious no denying that at all.”
But many others found more plausible explanations for the strange find.
One sceptic suggested it was simply a “small pool of water”. Someone else said: “It is just a small pool of water. If you look around at the other features locally you will notice that the other bodies of water also have a similar hue.”
OF ALL CHINA'S LUNAR launches thus far, the Moon lander Chang'e4 perhaps deserves the accolade of the most illuminating mission.
Launched in December 2018, Chang'e4 was China's fourth Moon mission and the first destined for the far side of the Moon — the side facing away from Earth. It landed in January 2019, and made the first direct measurements of the dark side of the Moon ever. This year, the data were released to the world, gifting the scientific community with a treasure trove unlike any they had ever seen. Amongst the gems: clues to the impact history of our natural satellite and the early Solar System.
China’s Chang’e 4 landed on January 3, 2019. It was a landmark moment for space exploration. The reason why it is so difficult to send anything — robot or man — to the far side of the Moon is because it is difficult to maintain communications with ground control on Earth with a giant rock (the Moon!) in the way.
The data collected by the Chinese lander provided scientists with an unprecedented view of the Moon’s far side, confirming for the first time lunar regolith exists on both sides of the Moon.
Chang'e4's observations were published in the journal Science Advances in February 2020.
By probing deep into the Moon's rugged terrain, the lander revealed the first high-resolution imaging of the Moon's subsurface, allowing scientists to analyze its composition layer by layer. According to the new data, the far side of the Moon is covered by a layer of loose deposits known as lunar regolith that run up to 12 meters thick.
The data also allowed scientists to reconstruct the history of impact craters on the far side of the Moon for the first time.
After the initial layer of regolite, the researchers discovered blocks of harder material mixed with finer material. These are identified as ejecta deposits. Ejecta deposits surround a lunar crater, and are believed to be the material ejected from the impact that created the crater.
Understanding how these deposits form helps scientists gather the history of impacts on the Moon that occurred during the early formation years of the Solar System.
The far side of the Moon may also serve as the prime destination for future lunar missions as scientists suspect the area contains water ice, which could be used as a resource for astronauts on the Moon.
China's Chang'e 5 orbiter is heading home on the final leg of its mission to collect fresh lunar samples from the moon.
The orbiter began firing four 150-Newton engines at 8:51 p.m. EST Saturday (Dec. 12) (0151 GMT, 9:51 am Beijing time Dec. 13) when 143 miles (230 kilometers) above the moon. The engines stopped burning 22 minutes later after setting the spacecraft on a course for Earth.
The mission now enters the final stretch of its 23-day quest to deliver the first lunar samples to Earth since 1976. Scientists hope the material will bring insights into mysteries about the history of our nearest celestial neighbor.
At 10:13 p.m. EST Sunday (Dec. 13) (0313 GMT, 11:13 a.m. Beijing time Dec. 14) the spacecraft performed a trajectory correction maneuver — another burn of small engines to finetune its path home.
Chang'e 5 is expected to reach Earth around Wednesday (Dec. 16) and deliver its precious cargo of lunar material collected from the moon's Oceanus Procellarum, or "Ocean of Storms." Scientists want to analyze the samples in labs on Earth to confirm theories that this area of the moon is made of rock much younger than other regions.
A container carrying around 4.4 lb. (2 kilograms) of lunar samples sits inside a reentry capsule attached to the orbiter. Closer to Earth, the reentry capsule will separate from the orbiter and attempt entry into the atmosphere.
The Chang'e 5 reentry capsule will first 'skip' off the atmosphere once to help it slow down, because a journey back from the moon involves far greater speeds than returning from low Earth orbit. After reentry, parachutes will slow the capsule's descent to the ground within an area of Inner Mongolia where China's astronauts also touch down after visits to space.
The complex and daring mission began on Nov. 23, when a Long March 5 rocket launched the four-part Chang'e 5 spacecraft. The spacecraft entered lunar orbit just over four days later and shortly after the mission lander and an ascent vehicle separated from the orbiter.
The lander made a spectacular landing near a volcanic peak named Mons Rümker on Dec 1. The lander quickly set about collecting samples with a drill and robotic arm and loaded the material into an ascent vehicle.
The ascent vehicle blasted off from atop the lander on Dec. 3, and on Dec. 5, the small spacecraft completed the first-ever robotic lunar orbit rendezvous and docking with the waiting Chang'e 5 orbiter. After transferring the samples to the reentry vehicle attached to the orbiter, the ascent vehicle was jettisoned and later commanded to impact the moon to prevent creating debris in lunar orbit.
The orbiter has meanwhile been waiting for the right moment to stop circling the moon and head for home.
After their arrival this week, the samples will be delivered to a specially constructed laboratory in Beijing where preparation, analysis and storage of the moon rocks will begin.
Scientists will use radiometric dating to confirm the age of the new samples, which may contain rocks made by late-stage volcanism as young, geologically speaking, as 1.2 billion years old. The samples collected previously by Apollo and Soviet Luna missions in the 1960s and 1970s are all more than 3 billion years old.
Artist’s illustration of the exoplanet HD 106906 b located a great distance away from its central binary star and the disk of dusty material that surrounds it.
Planet Nine may not be such an oddball after all, if it does indeed exist.
The exotic exoplanet HD 106906 b is an analog of sorts of Planet Nine, the Neptune-size world hypothesized to lurk in the outer reaches of our own solar system, a new study suggests.
HD 106906 b was discovered in 2013. It's about 11 times more massive than Jupiter and lies 336 light-years from Earth, near the double star HD 106906.
The HD 106906 stellar duo is very young — just 15 million years old — and is still surrounded by a dusty debris disk. HD 106906 b apparently emerged from that disk but is now quite removed from it, zooming along high above the disk's plane. In addition, the giant exoplanet currently lies 737 astronomical units (AU) from the double star, about 25 times more distant from the pair than Neptune is from our sun. (One AU is the average Earth-sun distance, which is about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.)
So HD 106906 b is a pretty curious character. Indeed, scientists have been debating whether the alien planet is still a bona fide member of the HD 106906 system or if it's now speeding away from the two stars, having been booted out by a gravitational interaction.
There's evidence that such a booting did take place: photos captured a few years ago by the Gemini South Telescope in Chile show that HD 106906's outer dust disk and inner comet disk are lopsided. HD 106906 b could have done this sculpting if the planet formed close to the system's center and was then kicked outward after a close encounter with the double stars, previous modeling work has indicated.
Such a disturbance would ordinarily send a planet out of its home system entirely, turning it into a "rogue" that wanders the galaxy alone, free of any host star — unless its departure was arrested by another gravitational interaction, this time with a star that wandered close to the HD 106906 system.
Last year, a group that included two of the three authors on the new study identified several stars that could have provided such a nudge about 3 million years ago. And the new paper suggests that one of those interloping stars may indeed have kept HD 106906 b from becoming a runaway.
In the new work, researchers led by Meiji Nguyen, a recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, analyzed observations of the HD 106906 system made between 2004 and 2018 by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The astronomers also compared the Hubble images with data gathered by Europe's Gaia spacecraft, which is precisely mapping the positions and movements of billions of stars in our Milky Way galaxy.
These combined data sets allowed the three scientists to nail down the positions of the HD 106906 binary and the giant planet. They found that HD 106906 b is likely in an elliptical and very long — but stable — orbit around its two parent stars, completing one lap every 15,000 years.
"Though it’s only been 14 years of observations, we were still able to, surprisingly, get a constraint on the orbit for the first time, confirming our suspicion that it was very misaligned and also that the planet is on an approximately 15,000-year orbit," Nguyen said in a statement.
"The fact that our results are consistent with predictions is, I think, a strong piece of evidence that this planet is, indeed, bound. In the future, a radial-velocity measurement is needed to confirm our findings," Nguyen added. (Radial-velocity measurements quantify the gravitational tug exerted by planets upon their host stars.)
What does this have to do with Planet Nine? The inferred history of HD 106906 b is similar to that proposed to explain how Planet Nine — or Planet Next, Planet X or Giant Planet Five, for those who will always regard Pluto as our solar system's ninth planet — could have gotten into, and remained in, its putative orbit, a highly elliptical path that keeps it hundreds of AU from the sun.
"What I really think makes HD 106906 b unique is that it is the only exoplanet that we know that is directly imaged, surrounded by a debris disk, misaligned relative to its system and is widely separated," Nguyen said. "This is what makes it the sole candidate we have found thus far whose orbit is analogous to the hypothetical Planet Nine."
Have you ever seen 40,000 shooting stars blaze across the sky at the same time?
If you'd like to, the European Space Agency (ESA) is offering you two options: Either stare at the night sky for about half a million years as our solar system drifts steadily through theMilky Way (some patience required) — or, watch a new 60-second time-lapse simulation of the same thing, courtesy of the ESA's Gaia space observatory.
In the new simulation, 40,000 stars — all located within 325light-years of Earth's sun — whiz through space, leaving long trails of light behind them. Each point of light represents one real object in the Milky Way, and each shining trail shows that object's projected movement through the galaxy over the next 400,000 years. Brighter, faster streaks are located closer to our solar system, while dimmer, slower ones live much farther away.
According to ESA researchers, the simulation shows an unsurprising pattern: By the end of the animation, most stars seem to be clustered to the right side of the screen, while the left remains relatively empty. It's not because the stars are being pulled by some newborn black hole or an alien tractor beam; it's simply that our sun is constantly moving too, causing passing stars to appear more clustered in the opposite direction.
"If you imagine yourself moving through a crowd of people (who are standing still), then in front of you the people will appear to move apart as you approach them, while behind you the people will appear to stand ever closer together as you move away from them," ESA researcherswrote in a blog post. "This effect also happens due to the motion of the sun with respect to the stars."
The data that made this mosaic of cosmic fireflies possible comes from the Gaia satellite's third official data release (EDR3), which became publicly available on Dec. 3.The new data dump contains detailed information on more than 1.8 billion celestial objects, including the precise positions, velocities and orbital trajectories of more than 330,000 stars within 325 light-years of Earth, according to a news release from the ESA. (The 40,000 stars represented in the simulation were chosen at random.)
The Gaia satellite launched in 2013 with the express mission of measuring the positions, distances and motions of the stars. The second data release, which dropped in 2018, helped astronomers assemble themost detailed map of the universe ever. The new, third release adds about 100 million new objects to that treasure trove, ESA researchers said.
