Disk Over US Military Ship Yard Bremerton, Washington On 1-21, 2021, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: January 21, 2021
Location of sighting: Bermerton, Washington, USA

 

This UFO was caught over the Bermeton ship yard. A place where many US Navy Military ships are docked. This UFO was flying over that area to record data on the latest US Navy ship technology and weapons. Many things interest aliens, but weapons technology and its evolution is of prime concern, because it could lead to humanities extinction. 

Wow, this UFO is a disk shape and you can see it flipping slowly as its moving forward. It seems to be a metallic color that is reflective of the colors around it. In front of the cloud its black, in front of the blue sky it's white. Typical color changing behaviors of cloud orbs, but this one is larger and more flat than others. I guess with so many people trying to stay home to stay safe from covid, UFOs are have a lot of freedom with little concern about being seen.

UFOs Sighted Over Los Angeles, California on 2-10-2021, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: February 10, 2021
Location of sighting: Los Angeles, California, USA 

 

Glowing spheres appeared one night over Los Angeles, CA and a young man named Bobby Cail was fast enough to catch a little bit of it on video for us. The glowing orbs are not falling and not moving much, but do shine brightly. With so many people staying inside, afraid to go out and possibly catch covid...UFOs are becoming less and less afraid of being seen. But as soon as Bobby started recording, it was like the aliens knew exactly what he was doing and the ships quickly disappeared from view...cloaking. 

 

With the light beams and the UFOs in those positions...almost looks like the old newspaper photo from Feb 24, 1942 of the "Battle of Los Angeles" UFO encounter where US military used spotlights to illuminate and shoot at huge silver UFOs passing over the city. Wow! I (Scott Waring) was born in East LA and remember my mother telling me her first hand experience at seeing the UFOs and the panic the city had that night.

The United Arab Emirates. China and NASA each launched their spacecraft to the planet Mars about seven months ago. 

Now, China's Tianwen-1 has entered the orbit of the Red Planet on February 10, 2021 after an interplanetary voyage covering nearly 475 million kilometers. 

China National Space Administration has unveiled complete footage of the first Chinese Mars probe, Tianwen-1, as it was captured by the gravity of the Red Planet. 

The footage reveals Mars coming into view, the slight vibration after engine ignition, and its flight from the daytime into the night. It also shows a clear image of the solar wing, the directional antenna, and Mars atmosphere and surface topography. 

Two days before, on February 8, the United Arab Emirates Hope craft has successfully entered the orbit of Mars and NASA's Perseverance rover is scheduled to land on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021.

While UAE's Hope craft will stay in the orbit of Mars to study the atmosphere of Mars, the main job of China's Tianwen-1 which includes a Mars orbiter, a lander and a solar-powered rover and NASA's Perseverance rover is to seek signs of ancient life and collect samples of rock and regolith for a return to Earth on another mission.

Multiple UFOs over Laguna Niguel, California 7-Feb-2021

New UFO video of a bright objects hovering in the sky above Laguna Niguel, California. Filmed on 7th February 2021.

Witness report: 

The six or seven lights were constant, not blinking, and appeared to be originating over water near Dana Point. I was far away, but the lights were very unusual. There are military bases/testing in the area, but this still appeared awkward, I’m not sure what type of training exercise would look like this…

Enoch, Thoth & the Pyramid… What Is the Connection?

COAST TO COAST AM INSIDER Archived Show – Author and filmmaker Ken Klein presented his thesis that Egypt’s Great Pyramid was built by Enoch, and serves as an oracle to help humankind transcend to their higher nature. Klein contended that the Egyptian ruler known as Thoth, who wrote The Book of the Eternal Day (later called The Egyptian Book of the Dead), was actually Enoch, a real human, who was later deified.

Further, the Greek god Hermes was also Enoch, he stated. Enoch never died; he was taken to the Arcturus star system, and helped populate a “godly race,” said Klein, adding that the Great Pyramid was built to memorialize the fact that Enoch escaped death.

Enoch will return in a ship, and the current proliferation of UFOs, is preparing us for the call to leave, he continued. According to the prophets, it is our destiny to go into space, he noted.

How Old is the Ice at Mars’ North Pole?

On Earth, the study of ice core samples is one of many methods scientists use to reconstruct the history of our past climate change. The same is true of Mars’ northern polar ice cap, which is made up of many layers of frozen water that have accumulated over eons. The study of these layers could provide scientists with a better understanding of how the Martian climate changed over time.

This remains a challenge since the only way we are able to study the Martian polar ice caps right now is from orbit. Luckily, a team of researchers from UC Boulder was able to use data obtained by the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) to chart how the northern polar ice caps’ evolved over the past few million years.

The research was conducted by Andrew Wilcoski and Paul Hayne, a Ph.D. student and assistant professor from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder. The study that describes their findings recently appeared in the Journal for Geological Research (JGR), a publication maintained by the American Geophysical Union (AGU).

For the sake of their study, Wilcosky and Hayne sought to determine the current state of the Martian North Polar Residual Cap (NPRC), which is vital to understanding the North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD). Using the high-resolution images gathered by the HiRISE instrument, Wilcosky and Hayne examined the rough features of the NPRC – which includes ripples and ridges of varying size and shape.

They then modeled the growth and recession of NPRC over time based on its interaction with solar radiation and how the rate of growth and loss is affected by the amount of atmospheric water vapor. What they found was that in addition to causing the formation of rough terrain (ripples and ridges) in an ice sheet, exposure to solar radiation will also cause ice to sublimate unevenly.

Basically, Mars’ axial tilt, which is responsible for it experiencing seasonal changes similar to Earth, also causes one side of these features to sublimate (the Sun-facing side) while the other does not. This has the effect of exaggerating these features, leading to pronounced ridges and valleys that become more pronounced as time goes on.

Overall, the model employed by Wilcoski and Hayne determined that the rough features observed by the MRO should measure 10 m (33 ft) in diameter and 1 m (3.3 ft) deep. Furthermore, their results demonstrated that as the features age, the spatial wavelength (the distance) between each ripple increases – from 10 to 50 m (164 ft). As they state in their study:

“Our results show that the size of mounds and depressions on the ice cap surface suggest that it took 1–10 thousand years to form these roughness features. Our results also suggest that the formation of features on the surface may depend on when water vapor is present in the atmosphere over the course of a year (e.g., summer or winter).”

These results are consistent with the images taken by the HiRISE instrument of the Martian North Polar Residual Cap (NPRC). What they indicated is that the rough features observed around Mars’ northern polar ice formed within the last 1000 to 10,000 years, which provides scientists with a starting point for reconstructing the climate history of Mars.

Such is the nature of the Red Planet. Today, scientists have a pretty good understanding of the nature of the Martian landscape and how it changes throughout the year. They also have an idea of what it used to look like billions of years ago, thanks to impeccably-preserved surface features that indicate the past presence of flowing and standing water (rivers, streams, and lakes).

But the intervening period, where the climate transitioned from one to the other, that’s where much remains to be learned. In the coming years, robotic missions could be sent to Mars for the sake of studying the ice sheets directly and maybe even return samples to Earth. In the next decade, as astronauts begin to set foot on Mars, the opportunity to explore the ice caps could also be possible.

The Ten Day Alien Abduction To Another Planet... A Remarkable Story!

The Ten Day Alien Abduction To Another Planet… A Remarkable Story!

The testimony shared by Alec Newald, a New Zealand business man, has been a debating point among conspiracy theorists and alien enthusiasts. Newald believes that he was abducted by extraterrestrials in February 1989, during a three-hour drive to Auckland from Rotorua.

Newald, who is now 70 years old has never changed his story. He revealed that this journey changed his entire perception of Universe and extraterrestrial life. Newald claims that he was abducted by a group of aliens beings on that fateful day, and later, he spent ten days in an advanced alien civilization. The information he came back with was startling.

Antarctica Discovery Hidden From You Until Now! 2021 

Just Discovered In Antarctica Is Hidden From You Until Now! Did Google Earth try to Hide a Space Ship in Antarctica?

Antarctica is Earth’s southernmost continent. It contains the geographic South Pole and is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14,200,000 square kilometres, it is the fifth-largest continent and nearly twice the size of Australia.

At 0.00008 people per square kilometre, it is by far the least densely populated continent. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 km in thickness, which extends to all but the northernmost reaches of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Tictac over Owego, New York And Disk Near Power lines! Oct 12, 2013, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 12, 2013
Location of sighting: Owego, New York, USA
Source: MUFON 

 

I was looking at an old report on MUFON and noticed that nobody saw the other UFO in the video. Since the other UFO was more clear, metallic and a disk, not to mention just about half a meter across and near the power lines...I thought I better mention it. Many small UFOs have been seen and recorded near power lines over the last decade of me reporting UFOs...so this is significant. I believe this UFO is a drone disk sent out from the tictac UFOs that the eyewitness saw. He actually saw two, but only had one tictac recorded. However he missed the most obvious thing...the metal disk 1/2 meter across near the telephone pole. The disk was both observing the person and recoding data going through the communication lines. 100% proof that the camera is quicker than the eye. 

Scott C. Waring - Taiwan

Eyewitness states:  

On the 12th day of October 2013, at about 13:00hrs EST, I witnessed a disc like object flying from north east over the Village of Owego, New York. Object omitted no sound, there was no “trail” after it there was no visible wings of any kind. A short 22 second video taken on a camera phone was shot. The disc moved from South West to the North East over the western horizon. Shortly after another object same size and shape, no wings, no trail, no sound was observed flying from east (Binghamton, NY ) to the North West, however higher in the sky than the first object. Having observed thousands of flights going over this area in the last 30 years, I have never seen anything like this before.

Oumuamua was claimed to be the first interstellar object to enter our solar system. Yet, NORAD has reportedly been tracking these unidentified, high-velocity objects for decades. 

Image credit: GAIA.

DSP and NORAD have been collecting data on fastwalkers as far back as 1972. On May 5, 1984, the DSP tracked a fastwalker traveling over 22,000 mph for 9 minutes. 

These objects enter our atmosphere from unknown locations in deep space and often they travel at low altitude above the earth's surface but due to the enormous speed it is impossible to see these objects with the naked eye, however the past years amateur drone cameras accidentally managed to capture these fastwalkers. (Check out our label Fastwalker to see videos of fastwalkers captured by drones.) 

Researcher estimate approximately 500 NORAD sightings of fastwalkers each year.

Roswell UFO crash debris is still out there, expert claims as probe reveals ‘something really hot’ smashed into desert

Jon Lockett

WRECKAGE from the Roswell UFO incident could still be buried in the desert, an expert has claimed.

The astonishing revelation is made in a startling new six-part documentary which sets out to get the bottom of the world's most baffling UFO mystery.

Former CIA operative Ben Smith has been working with geophysicists

Former CIA operative Ben Smith has been called in to work with a team of top experts to find out exactly what happened in New Mexico in July, 1947.

And he exclusively told The Sun Online he believes debris from the crash could still be buried in the sand just waiting to be found.

Ben has teamed up with geophysicists and ufologists for 'Roswell: The First Witness', which starts on February 9 as part of Sky History's Mystery Season.

He told The Sun Online: "There are delineations in the soil from a north-western to a south-eastern direction which match witness descriptions of something falling from the sky, hitting the earth, skipping and scattering debris."

During his investigation, he visited New Mexico to search for "unnatural features" which could be evidence of a flying saucer crash.

Scientists then conducted an exhaustive geo-thermal examination of the area where the first debris was discovered - using cutting-edge technology to look deep into the earth for clues.

The experts scoured the desert with state-of-the-art kit including drones in the hunt for an "impact and skid mark".

They also studied aerial images of the area before and after the Roswell incident and soon noticed what could be multiple "furrows" in the surface.

Studies also revealed "something really hot hit the earth and heated up the surrounding soil", changing the magnetic field in the area.

Hi-tech detecting equipment also appeared to pick up signs of metal hidden beneath the surface.

Major Jesse Marcel led the original investigation into the Roswell crash

Soil samples were then sent to a lab to see if they contained materials "not from this world".

Ben believes the fact there could still be debris scattered beneath the desert is what makes the Roswell mystery so intriguing.

"This is what makes this project so interesting. We have this amazing Tic-Tac video recently declassified from American Navy pilots but it is footage but there is nothing physical," he said.

"Here we have a a record of something crashing into the ground and the geology (from the site) certainly supports trapping some of this debris.

"This a desolate site. The potential of finding a piece of it...whether through sophisticated space age technology that we used or tracking down original witnesses who may have taken a piece home is part of the crux of the invesitgation.

"We tried to keep it focused on the original witnesses and the original accounts of debris and go from there."

He now believes the key to solving this whole mystery could even be lying in a box after being collected by a local in the hours and days after the crash.

Ben said: "That's the crazy part and it could be the conclusive evidence that we need to determine whether this was truly extra terrestrial or this is very terrestrial.

"It could just be in a box somewhere. I think there is a piece of this thing somewhere out there and I think we can find it with enough time and resources."

Yesterday we told how a journal written by a US army major – who was first on the scene – may hold all the secrets to what has been described as the biggest cover-up in US military history.

On July 8, 1947 the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) distributed a press release claiming they had recovered the remains of a “flying disc” which had crashed in the desert.

Not surprisingly, the news made headlines across the US but the very next day the US Army suddenly backtracked and released a second statement claiming the recovered object was actually just a weather balloon.

The bizarre incident would have been lost over the decades had it not been for Major Jesse A Marcel, a former intelligence officer who was stationed at RAAF at the time.

When a local rancher reported the debris’ discovery, Marcel was sent out to take a look and bring some of the material back to the base before being ordered to fly some of the wreckage to Fort Worth, Texas, for further examination.

However, in the late 70s, Marcel told UFO researchers later photos with him and the debris was staged for the press as part of an elaborate plan to dupe the press and the public.

He claimed the Army whisked the real debris away while he was ordered to aid in the cover-up of what was really found.

Marcel claimed the actual crash site was scattered with extremely strong shiny material that was foil-like but returned to its original shape after it was crumpled. 

He later told his family what he found was “not made by human hands” but they say he was pressured by the US government to retract his original statement and deny he ever saw evidence of a UFO.

Now his diary – which has been in the hands of his family for decades – is being probed from cover-to-cover to unlock its secrets.

Ben Smith is a former CIA case officer with many years in the field as an undercover operative tracking terrorist networks, foreign intelligence activities and weapons of mass destruction.

He holds a degree in International Affairs and a Master's of Fine Arts. In his free time, he is either researching his next investigation or writing science fiction from his home in New York.

Roswell continues to attract questions from UFO hunters, with even Donald Trump’s son Don Jr asking the former US President about the suspected crash during an interview last year.

“Utsurobune”: A UFO Legend from Nineteenth-Century Japan

A mysterious event in Japan at the beginning of the nineteenth century shows surprising similarities with stories of UFOs.

 Tanaka Kazuo

In 1803, a round vessel drifted ashore on the Japanese coast and a beautiful woman emerged, wearing strange clothing and carrying a box. She was unable to communicate with the locals, and her craft was marked with mysterious writing. This story of an utsurobune, or “hollow ship,” in the province of Hitachi (now Ibaraki Prefecture) is found in many records of the Edo period (1603–1868), and Tanaka Kazuo, professor emeritus at Gifu University, has studied the topic for many years. What drew him away from his main research area, applied optics, to investigate this curious episode? And what really took place?

“Like a Flying Saucer”

Tanaka says he began to research the ship after the deadly subway sarin attacks in 1995 by the Aum Shinrikyō cult. “There was a lot of coverage of Aum founder Asahara Shōkō's prophecies and claims to be able to float in the air. Yet the cult’s senior members were part of the scientific elite. I started giving lectures considering paranormal phenomena from a scientific perspective, which meant that I was collecting all kinds of materials for teaching, such as about UFOs in the United States and Japanese folklore. While doing so, I came across the utsurobune legend.” He adds, “Long before the American UFO stories, the craft depicted in Edo-period Japanese documents for some reason looked like a flying saucer. This was fascinating to me.”

UFOs became a modern sensation after the media reported US businessman Kenneth Arnold as having witnessed “flying saucers” on June 24, 1947. A flood of similar stories followed from around the world. Most famously, a UFO was alleged to have crashed to the ground near Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947. “In the end, though, no wrecks or alien bodies were recovered,” Tanaka says. “There was only the ambiguous testament of witnesses. It was the same with all the other UFO stories from around the world—they were mysteries without any substantial evidence. The utsurobune legend, however, has a number of documents to examine as leads, so in this sense, for researchers it’s a mystery with substance.” 

A Ninja’s Report

A book published in English by Tanaka Kazuo on his research. The cover uses the illustration from Toen shōsetsu

https://www.nippon.com/en/latest/(Toen Stories; 1825).

There are similar oral traditions about “hollow ships” across Japan in the Edo period. Tanaka’s research is focused on the various documents that describe the 1803 incident in Hitachi and include illustrations of a beautiful woman and a strange vessel, although they cite different dates. One of the best-known sources is the Toen shōsetsu (Toen Stories), an 1825 collection recording fantastic rumors, which was written by the Toenkai literary circle and edited by Kyokutei Bakin, famous for his lengthy historical romance Nansō Satomi hakkenden (The Eight Dog Chronicles). Others are Nagahashi Matajirō's 1844 work Ume no chiri (Plum Dust), as well as collections like Ōshuku zakki (Ōshuku Notes), Hirokata zuihitsu (Essays by Hirokata), and Hyōryūki-shū (Records of Castaways), which gathers stories of foreign ships washed up in Japan and of Japanese sailors who came ashore overseas.

From Mito bunsho (Mito Document).

At first, Tanaka theorized that the incident was an embellished account concerning a shipwrecked Russian whaler, but he could not find any mention of such a disaster in official records. Instead, he discovered new materials, becoming absorbed in further background research. To date, he has found 11 documents relating to the Hitachi utsurobune legend, of which the most interesting are thought to date from 1803, the same year that the craft was said to have come to shore.

One is the Mito bunsho (Mito Document) owned by a collector in Mito, Ibaraki Prefecture. Tanaka noticed that the woman’s clothing in an illustration in the work was similar to that of a bodhisattva statue at the Shōfukuji temple in Kamisu, also in Ibaraki, which is dedicated to the raising of silkworms. A legend credits the start of sericulture in the area to a Princess Konjiki (or “golden princess”), who is a motif in images at the temple. In one version of the story, Princess Konjiki is washed up to shore after traveling from India on a dugout boat in the shape of a cocoon. She repays the kindness of a local couple who try to nurse her back to health by bestowing on them the secrets of sericulture when she herself becomes a silkworm after her death. Among the various materials, only the illustration in the Mito document appeared greatly similar to Princess Konjiki. Tanaka thinks that when the first rumors of a “hollow ship” coming ashore at a beach called Kashimanada were spreading, the people at Shōfukuji may have decided to incorporate it into promotion of the temple.

Another even more important source is the Banke bunsho (Banke Document) owned by Kawakami Jin’ichi, the heir to the Kōka ninjutsu (ninja arts) tradition and a ninjutsu researcher and martial artist. It is named after the Banke, or Ban family, of Kōka ninja. While some other materials say the vessel came ashore at locations like Harayadori or Haratonohama, there is no evidence that such places exist. This document, however, records the location as Hitachihara Sharihama, which appeared in a map produced by the famous cartographer Inō Tadataka, and is now known as Hasaki Sharihama in Kamisu. Tanaka comments that while the other materials show geographical inconsistencies, this document mentions a real place name. He says that Kawakami suggested a Banke member might have been assembling information while working for the head of the Owari domain (now Aichi Prefecture). “If so, he wouldn’t record any untruths, so we can say the document is very reliable.”

Awaiting New Revelations

The folklorist Yanagita Kunio once said that all of the utsurobune legends were groundless fictions. “But in the case of the Hitachi utsurobune, there’s a clear difference from other stories around the country,” Tanaka says. “For one, it’s specified as having taken place in 1803. And then, it’s strange that there are specific pictures of the craft showing it as resembling a flying saucer. I feel it was probably based on something that really happened. But Japan was largely closed off then, so if there was a wreck of a foreign ship or foreign people had arrived in the country, it would have been a huge event and a government official would have investigated and left a public document. When British sailors entered Ōtsuhama [now Kitaibaraki] in 1824, it became one of the causes of an edict to repel foreign vessels the following year. So it might be that there was witness testimony of something taking place for just a short time at Kashimanada. It’s possible that this became tied in with earlier utsurobune legends.”

Just as descriptions of the woman’s clothing vary depending on the document, so do those of the shape and size of her vessel. For example, Records of Castaways says that it was around 3.3 meters high and 5.4 meters wide (when converted into current measurements) and that it was made of rosewood and iron with glass and crystal windows. “I’m not sure whether Records of Castaways was an official document. There are two volumes altogether, and apart from the utsurobune, they’re all incidents that actually took place. This suggests that the writer at least believed the utsurobune was really washed up to shore,” Tanaka says. 

There are countless mysteries connected with the “hollow ship,” such as the meaning of the script written inside it. Tanaka says that one theory has it that it resembles the pseudo-Roman letters sometimes seen in the border of ukiyo-e prints. “So it might be simply decorative. Although it’s not impossible that we’ll discover evidence that it’s alien script!” Having said this, he laughs. “There are likely to be further discoveries of currently unknown materials related to the utsurobune, and new revelations. This legend is so appealing because it’s possible to come up with so many different theories. Having a story like this in Japan—from 140 years before the American UFO sightings—that stimulates the imagination to this extent reminds me of how deep and fascinating Japanese culture can be.”

From Hyōryūki-shū (Records of Castaways) by an unknown author. The text describes the woman as being around 18 to 20 years of age, well-dressed, and beautiful. Her face is pale, and her eyebrows and hair are red. It is impossible to communicate with her, so it is unclear where she is from. She holds a plain wooden box as though it is very important to her and keeps her distance. There is mysterious script written in the boat.

The first 3D printed house in the US is now officially on sale — for $300,000

It's a lot of money, but it's still cheaper than what you get in the area.

 by Fermin Koop

A company has listed what is reported to be the first 3D printed house in the United States. The property, built by SQ4D and located in Long Island, New York, has received a certificate of occupancy and is already listed on MLS for sale as new construction for $299,999 – which the company claims is 50% cheaper than regular new homes in the area.

SQ4D is a New York company that focuses on engineering and building high-quality sustainable houses with an autonomous robotic 3D construction system (ARCS). The company uses an approach where robots build the foundations, exterior walls, interior walls, utility conduits, and more, which reduces labor to three people, uses far less energy, and cuts construction times.

Essentially, the approach uses more expensive materials and robots to cut down on construction time and worker cost, so it’s best suited in areas where labor costs are high — like New York, for instance.

However, the technology will be soon be able to eliminate more expensive and inferior building materials, SQ4D believes, making 3D structures even more cost-effective. Using concrete reduces the cost by at least 30%, as well as making the structure more fire resistant than traditional methods. Here’s a video presentation.

The 3D house that just entered the market in Long Island has 1,400 square feet of living space and a 750 square car garage. It includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, featuring an open floor plan. It’s fully built with concrete and includes a 50-year limited warranty that SQ4D gives on its 3D printed structure.

Of course, in addition to the technology (which is innovative), the house also comes with some bragging rights and a lot of marketing.

“Own a piece of history! This is the world’s first 3D printed home for sale,” the listing of the house states. “This home is carefully developed to exceed all energy efficiency codes and lower energy costs. SQ4D provides a stronger build than traditional concrete structures while utilizing a more sustainable building process.”

Stephen King of Realty Connect, the Zillow Premier agent who has the listing, said in a statement that the US$300,000 market price is actually 50% below the cost of similar newly-constructed homes in Riverhead, the neighborhood where the house is located. That’s why this is “a major step” to address the “affordable housing crisis plaguing Long Island,” he added.

3D printing has been consistently making headlines over the past few years, slowly becoming a reality for us commoners. Companies are building houses either fully on 3D or with most of their elements made out of a printer. In Mexico, the world’s first 3D printed neighborhood is already moving forward, while Germany’s first 3D residential building is under construction.

But it’s not just housing, it can be almost anything. With the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers discovered they could print face shields and ventilator parts much faster and cheaper than with regular methods. A 3D printer even built a miniature heart, using a patient’s own cells, as well as human cartilage.

This means that whether you have the almost $300,000 to buy the house now on the market or not, you have plenty of options to choose from in the 3D world. A study a few years ago even showed that a printer can make anyone at least a 1000% return on investment over five years. So it might be time to get on the 3D printing world.

My long time contact JP has sent me a compelling video of an antigravity craft he personally witnessed and recorded on the night of February 6, 2021. The video shows a flying saucer shaped craft flying over North Carolina. JP is currently serving with a branch of the US military, and wishes to maintain his anonymity for personal and professional reasons.

I have known JP since 2008 when he first contacted me about an extraterrestrial encounter he had in Brazil. He has over the subsequent years supplied me many photographs and videos of different shaped antigravity craft and encounters with their occupants. These include both extraterrestrial entities and military personnel, including Air Force Special Operations.

I have written multiple articles about his previous encounters along with supporting photos and videos here.

The flying saucer craft he videotaped on Feb 6 is very similar to one that he witnessed on May 24, 2018, which landed near his home in Orlando, Florida. The Nordic looking extraterrestrial occupant offered JP a ride which he declined. He wore an Air Force uniform and said his group was working with the USAF. JP took a photo of the departing flying saucer which I wrote about here.  

JP believes that the same Nordic group wanted to let him know that they are ready to make contact again, and are aware of his current position with the US military. His Feb 6 video can be viewed on Rumble or in the following YouTube video.

All photos and videos sent to me by JP are originals and have not be altered in any way. Enhancements are provided in addition to the original to provide clarity on what is being witnessed. The photos and videos are empirical evidence of other worldly contact and of secret space programs operating on Earth using antigravity technologies.

Distant ‘Mature’ Galaxy Points to Speedier Galactic Evolution

 by Rob Lea

A massive stellar bulge found in a regularly rotating galaxy when the Universe was just 1.2 billion years old could throw theories on galactic evolution into doubt. Current models of how galaxies form suggest that features like those spotted associated with the galaxy ALESS 073.1 should take longer to form and thus shouldn’t be visible when the Universe is so young.

“This galaxy is like a little child that looks like a full-grown adult,” Federico Lelli, an astrophysicist at Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory (INAF, Italy) and part of the team that identified the features, tells ZME Science. “This galaxy possesses three key features of ‘mature’ galaxies: a regular rotating disk, a massive bulge, and arm-like structures that are reminiscent of spiral arms.”

The team’s finding is discussed in a paper published in the latest edition of the journal Science and joins a series of other recent discoveries that suggest galaxies could evolve much quicker than currently believed. 

The study is accompanied by a perspectives article by Julie Wadlow, Lancaster University, that reflects on the wider implications of the discovery of these features on our models of galactic evolution. 

The team made their observations of ALESS 073.1 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) based in the Atacama Desert Chile, currently the world’s largest radio telescope. It was emissions from the galaxy’s gas and dust that allowed the team to detect the motion of ALESS 073.1 and infer the presence of the bulge and spiral arms. 

“Structures like bulges, regular disks, and possibly spiral arms must form in less than 1.2 billion years, which is a tall order for current models of galaxy formation,” says Lelli. “These properties imply that the formation of massive galaxies must be a fast process occurring very early in the history of the Universe.”

As Wardlow points out, this isn’t the first time ALESS 073.1 has caused some surprise in the field of astronomy since it was first glimpsed in 2009.

“The initial discovery of a galaxy forming stars so rapidly so far into the distant Universe was already a surprise and a challenge to the galaxy evolution models of the time,” she tells ZME Science. “Theorists are now able to explain the existent of a galaxy forming so many stars so early in the Universe, but this new detection of the bulge in ALESS 073.1 is unexpected.”

“It has implications both for the timescales of galaxy formation and evolution but also for the sorts of systems that can host massive bursts of star formation in the distant Universe.”

Structures That Challenge Galactic Evolution Models

The Universe is populated with billions of galaxies coming in a variety of different shapes — with the three main types being elliptical, spiral, and irregular. 

Spiral galaxies, like our own Milky Way, are perhaps the galaxy shapes that we are most familiar with. These are typified by a central nucleus with spiral arms extending from this central region. Whilst most galaxies are expected to go through a special phase, structures like spiral arms and central bulges should take longer to form according to current models, so we shouldn’t be seeing them in the early Universe. That means spotting them in ALESS 073.1 is extremely surprising. 

“Galaxies forming in the primordial Universe are expected to be chaotic and turbulent because they are accreting gas from the cosmic web, they are forming stars at very high rates leading to many supernovae explosions, and they have central supermassive black holes growing in mass and shining as active galactic nuclei,” says Lelli. “All these mechanisms are expected to inject large amounts of energy into the gas and heavily perturb its overall kinematics. 

“The regularity of the gas disk in ALESS 073.1 is at odds with these expectations.”

The team of astronomers decided to study ALESS 073.1 because previous observations with ALMA in 2014 had indicated the presence of a rotating disc, but the data wasn’t precise enough to properly distinguish this from other possible explanations.

“The galaxy is forming stars at an incredibly high rate — about 1000 solar masses per year — and has a central supermassive black hole emitting in the X-rays, so some authors argued in favour of a gas outflow rather than a regular rotating disk,” Lelli says. “The new data unambiguously shows that the galaxy has a very regular rotating disk.” 

ALESS 073.1’s central bulge of closely clustered stars is also a feature that would usually be associated with a more mature galaxy. “Bulges are expected to form either by the merging of two disk galaxies of similar mass or by slow internal processes within the rotating disk,” says Lelli. “Both mechanisms take time to form a massive bulge, so we were really surprised to find that nearly half of the stars in ALESS 073.1 are in a bulge component.”

The Wider Implications of ALESS 073.1’s Mature Features

In the associated perspectives piece accompanying Lelli and his coauthor’s study, Wardlow points out that current theoretical simulations suggest these early or primordial galaxies merge together through gravitational interactions forming large, chaotic structures. These may have some rotation and eventually form central bulges comprised of older, redder stars. 

“Discs take time to form as the motion of the stars and gas in the first galaxies slowly becomes dominated by gravity rather than the initial forces from formation,” Wardlow explains. “Bulges are found in the centres of disks and are expected to form even later and after an event which gravitationally disturbs a galaxy. This disturbance alters the motion of the stars and gas, such that they become irregular, but still bound the galaxy.”

Wardlow goes on to explain that this disturbance could be something external — like a collision or close encounter with another galaxy — or something internal — like a runaway gravitational instability in the galaxy. 

The problem is, these mechanisms put tight time constraints to the evolution of galactic features because they require some structure is already present in the galaxy. “They both require significant galaxy structure with rotation to have already formed, and then time for the triggering event to have happened and for the dynamics of the system to have calmed into the disc and bulge that is seen in ALESS 073.1 ~1.2 billion years after the Big Bang,” Wardlow explains. “In the merger/interaction scenario it also requires a second galaxy to already be in place at the time of the merger/interaction. 

“So the presence of these features in ALESS 073.1 means that the timescales for early galaxy formation and evolution must be short, which provides a challenge for models and simulations if systems like ALESS 073.1 are common.”

This gives a good hint at what the next step for Lilli and his team could be, searching for other young galaxies shortly after the Big Bang with similar mature features. That’s the aim of a project underway at ALMA called Tracing Rotation with Ionized Carbon in Early Primeval Systems (TRICEPS). 

“Observing more galaxies at similar distances with ALMA will allow us to statistically establish how common rotating gas disks are in the early Universe. We are already working along this path,” says Lelli. “The observations were supposed to take place last year, but unfortunately the ALMA observatory was shut down due to the Covid-19 emergency. A lot of good people — not only astronomers but also engineers, mechanics, technicians, cooks, cleaners and the like — are working at the Atacama desert in Chile to make these observations possible. So it’s complicated to go ‘back to normal’ after a global shutdown. 

“I really hope I could have some new ALMA data on my laptop by the end of 2021.”

Beyond the TRICEPS project, Lelli also points out that both the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) — set to launch later this year — and the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) — currently under construction in the Atacama Desert — could allow astronomers to observe primordial galaxies at different wavelengths. Crucially, this will allow them to directly study the light emitted by their stellar components. “This may allow us to time more precisely the first epoch of galaxy formation.”

Wardlow adds that because light doesn’t travel infinitely fast, when astronomers look at distant galaxies they are seeing them as they were in the past, often billions of years ago as is the case with ALESS 073.1. “So the light that’s been detected from ALESS 073.1 started its journey 12.5 billion years ago,” She concludes. “By now ALESS 073.1 will be even more evolved and probably bears very little resemblance to what we’ve detected. 

“By observing distant galaxies it’s like we’re time-travelling back to near the beginning of the Universe to solve the mysteries of how everything in our lives came to be.”

'UFO Witness' Episode 11: Did Betty and Barney Hill really see humanoid aliens before claiming to be abducted?

Their abductors, they said, were 'nearly human' and had dark huge eyes, noses, and black hair as well. Their skin was gray

Alien abduction tales and theories are a dime a dozen, but some have remained an enigma to date. The "Betty and Barney Hill's Alien Abduction" story on a September 1961 night has been one of those stories that have defined the whole abduction genre. Soon after, this incident was named the 'Zeta Reticuli Incident' after the couple claimed their aliens were from the Zeta Reticuli system. The story, like most famed alien tales, also saw its place in pop culture in the form of a 1975 flick, 'The UFO Incident'.

Now, the events of the abduction will be examined again. This time, Discovery+ will reopen the chapter as part of its show, 'UFO Witness'. The final episode titled, 'The Hybrid Secret' will explore the possibility of the alien-human breeding program and also looks at the Betty and Barney incident as one of the important links.

A look at the recount by both Betty and Barney sees them describe their abductors as gray beings with large eyes. These extraterrestrials had walked the couple into a metallic disc that was as wide as their house. The couple's memories were reportedly erased. To date, there is no doubt the story has been looked at as a mystery and absolute balderdash.

According to History, Betty with the help of hypnosis recounts how the couple was experimented upon. The beings as they called them removed their clothes, took strands of their hair, clipped nails, and also scraped their skin. Their heads, arms, and legs along with their spines were probed by needles that were connected to long wires. One of them was inserted into her belly. And all the while, a "leader" of the beings was keenly observing the experiments.

Did the Hills actually see humanoid aliens?

Although Betty's account pretty much leaves a lot to the readers' imagination, thinking of the aliens with a human structure might not be too much of a stretch. Barney, in his report to National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) investigator Walter Webb, said the "beings were somehow not human." There are, of course, two explanations— fragged memory and the possibility that they weren't humans, or at least they didn't look like a normal human being.

Soon after their reports of being abducted, Betty experienced dreams with such incredible detailing that she actually wrote them down. Two small men walking her into the forest in one of her writings. Barney followed suit, although she describes him to be dazed and practically sleepwalking. The men reportedly stood about five feet and all wore matching blue uniforms. They were "nearly human" and had dark huge eyes, noses, and black hair as well. Their skin was gray. 

Naturally, there was no way this could be proved. And especially not the part where she even dreamt of speaking to the extraterrestrial she termed as the leader. "if you don’t know where you are, there wouldn’t be any point in telling you where I am," the being had said in response to her question where the craft was.

Was this pretty much her subconscious thoughts? Was it hallucinations? We'll never know.

Perhaps, 'The Hybrid Secret' will provide some much-needed answers, or at least new theories and insights. The official synopsis reads: "Evidence of a possible extraterrestrial breeding program sends Ben Hansen to the Bay Area, San Francisco, California, in search of answers about alien-human hybrids. He suspects there may be a link to the Betty and Barney Hill case, one of the world's most famous abduction stories."

According to NASA, one of the best ways to find alien life on other planets is to look for pollution in their atmosphere – specifically nitrogen dioxide gas (NO2).

Ravi Kopparapu, who works at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and is the lead author of the study, explained this further, “On Earth, most of the nitrogen dioxide is emitted from human activity — combustion processes such as vehicle emissions and fossil-fueled power plants,” adding, “In the lower atmosphere (about 10 to 15 kilometers or around 6.2 to 9.3 miles), NO2 from human activities dominate compared to non-human sources. Therefore, observing NO2 on a habitable planet could potentially indicate the presence of an industrialized civilization.”

With more than 4,000 exoplanets found so far, experts are eager to find out if any of them host other civilizations but since they are so far away from us, the only way we can search for signs of life is with powerful telescopes that can find out what’s in their atmospheres.

One sign of life would be the presence of combined gases in their atmosphere, such as oxygen and methane. Additionally, a gas such as NO2 may indicate that there is some type of technology on the planet that is creating it (this is called a technosignature).

Jacob Haqq-Misra, who works at the Blue Marble Institute of Science in Seattle, Washington, and is a co-author of the study, noted that previous research focused on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as potential technosignatures since biology can’t produce it. “…However, CFCs are very specific manufactured chemicals that might not be prevalent elsewhere; NO2, by comparison, is a general byproduct of any combustion process,” he explained.

Their research focused in part on how much NO2 pollution could be detected with our telescopes and after extensive studies, they were able to determine that if an intelligent civilization living on an Earth-like exoplanet that orbits a sun-like star were to produce as much NO2 as Earth, it could be detected as far as 30 light-year away with approximately 400 hours of data focused solely on that planet.

That’s a good start, but considering our closest star relatives are located in the Alpha Centauri system which is a bit more than 4 light-years away from us and our entire galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years across, we will definitely need more powerful telescopes.

There are a few complications with this new information, such as figuring out if the NO2 on other planets are produced naturally or created by another civilization. “If we observe NO2 on another planet, we will have to run models to estimate the maximum possible NO2 emissions one could have just from non-industrial sources. If we observe more NO2 than our models suggest is plausible from non-industrial sources, then the rest of the NO2 might be attributed to industrial activity. Yet there is always a possibility of a false positive in the search for life beyond Earth…,” explained Giada Arney from NASA Goddard and who is another co-author of the study.

Furthermore, if there are clouds or aerosols in an exoplanet’s atmosphere, the wavelengths may falsely appear as NO2. While much more work needs to be done, this is a very interesting step in possibly finding alien civilizations on other planets.

• The study was published in arXiv where it can be read in full.
