Wetenschappers ontdekken tot hun verbazing leven onder ijslaag van 900 meter in Antarctica

Wetenschappers hebben in Antarctica per toeval levensvormen ontdekt onder een negenhonderd meter dikke ijslaag. Dat blijkt uit een artikel dat maandag gepubliceerd werd in het wetenschappelijke magazine Frontiers in Marine Science.

 Bron: Belga

Wetenschappers van onderzoeksproject British Antarctic Survey wilden stalen van bezinksel nemen door te boren in een negenhonderd meter dikke ijslaag in het Filchner-Ronne-ijsplateau, ten zuidoosten van Weddellzee. Maar in plaats van modder, troffen ze een stuk rots aan. Uit videobeelden is gebleken dat het gesteente bedekt was met verschillende levensvormen.

Extreme leefomstandigheden

Er werden onder meer dieren aangetroffen die op sponzen leken, naast nog enkel andere, mogelijk nog onbekende soorten. De sedentaire dieren hadden zich weten aanpassen aan zeer extreme leefomstandigheden: in complete duisternis en bij temperaturen van min 2,2 graden.

De dieren werden aangetroffen op 260 kilometer van de open zee. Hoe en wanneer ze op die afgelegen locatie terecht zijn gekomen, is voorlopig een raadsel. Het is ook nog niet duidelijk hoe ze zich voeden. 

Uitzonderlijk

De ontdekking toont aan dat het mariene leven in Antarctica zeer bijzonder is en bovendien ook uitzonderlijk goed aangepast is aan de omstandigheden, zegt onderzoeker Huw Griffiths.

Het is nog niet duidelijk tot welke soort de dieren behoren. De wetenschappers vragen zich ook af wat het voor die dieren zou betekenen wanneer de ijsplaat afbreekt. Door de klimaatverandering is er maar weinig tijd om hen te bestuderen en om hun ecosysteem te beschermen, zo klinkt het.

3 Things That Were Once Science Fiction That Have Now Become Science Fact

I think that everyone can agree that our world is becoming stranger with each passing day.  As I survey the news on a daily basis, I am absolutely astounded by the bizarre things that I come across.  When I was growing up, our world seemed like such a stable and predictable place, but that is definitely no longer the case.  These days, we are constantly seeing things happen that I never thought that we would actually see, and that includes officials at the Pentagon admitting that they have been testing wreckage from UFO crashes…

THE Pentagon has admitted to holding and testing wreckage from UFO crashes in a bombshell Freedom of Information letter, shared with The Sun.

Researcher Anthony Bragalia wrote to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) requesting details of all UFO material, which they hold and results of any tests they had been carrying out on it.

In the old days, government officials would go to great lengths to deny that UFOs existed.

But now apparently all you have to do to find out the truth is submit a FOIA request.

As a child, I was told that UFOs only existed in science fiction movies.  But over the years sightings have become more and more frequent, and it has become clear that people are not just imagining these objects.

And now the government is even admitting that it has studied materials from crashed UFOs that possess “extraordinary capabilities”…

In the response, shared with The Sun, the DIA released 154 pages of test results that includes reports on a mysterious “memory” metal called Nitinol, which remembers its original shape when folded.

Bragalia said it was a “stunning admission” from the US government and the documents reveal that some of the retrieved debris possesses “extraordinary capabilities” including the potential to make things invisible or even slow down the speed of light.

So the good news is that we are starting to get some truth about UFOs from the U.S. government.

But the bad news is that many experts that have studied UFOs believe that the intentions of those piloting the craft are not good at all.

But the bad news is that many experts that have studied UFOs believe that the intentions of those piloting the craft are not good at all.

Switching gears, governments around the world are now developing “super soldiers” to fight in the wars of the future.

You would expect to read about such a thing in a comic book, but now it is becoming a reality.

In particular, we are being warned that China has actually conducted “human testing” on members of their own military.  The following comes from NBC News…

U.S. intelligence shows that China has conducted “human testing” on members of the People’s Liberation Army in hope of developing soldiers with “biologically enhanced capabilities,” the top U.S. intelligence official said Friday.

John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence, included the explosive claim in a long Wall Street Journal op-ed in which he made the case that China poses the pre-eminent national security threat to the U.S.

Could you imagine an entire army of men with “super intelligence”, “super speed” and “super strength”?

Thousands of hybrid soldiers that possess powers like Superman or Captain America would definitely be a force to be reckoned with, and that is apparently what China is after.

In pursuit of this goal, China has been conducting extremely strange genetic experiments for many years…

In a communist society with unrestrained ambition, researchers are pursuing weird science. What happens when you mix pig and monkey DNA? Chinese experimenters can tell you. How about growing human-like organs in animals? Yes, they have done that as well.

More recently, one scientist in China has been attempting to give human intelligence to a monkey…

Bing Su, a Chinese geneticist at the state-run Kunming Institute of Zoology, recently inserted the human MCPH1 gene, which develops the brain, into a monkey. The insertion could make that animal’s intelligence more human than that of lower primates. Su’s next experiment is inserting into monkeys the SRGAP2C gene, related to human intelligence, and the FOXP2 gene, connected to language skills.

Other governments around the world have also been “playing God”, and now that we have gone down this road there will be no going back.

The last thing I want to talk about is the giant science experiment that is being conducted all over the planet right now.

The experimental mRNA shots that people around the world are being given right now were rushed through the development phase at record speed, and most people don’t realize that they actually “hijack your cells”…

When Moderna was just finishing its Phase I trial, The Independent wrote about the vaccine and described it this way: “It uses a sequence of genetic RNA material produced in a lab that, when injected into your body, must invade your cells and hijack your cells’ protein-making machinery called ribosomes to produce the viral components that subsequently train your immune system to fight the virus.”

“In this case, Moderna’s mRNA-1273 is programmed to make your cells produce the coronavirus’ infamous coronavirus spike protein that gives the virus its crown-like appearance (corona is crown in Latin) for which it is named,” wrote The Independent.

Authorities insist that there will be no unexpected problems, but could there be a downside to programming our cells to do things that they were never designed to do that they aren’t anticipating?

Sadly, it appears that we are starting to get an answer to that question.

We are now being told that it is “normal” for people to experience severe side effects from these shots, and we are also now being told that it is “normal” for some patients to die.  Here is one example…

A 78-year-old Southern California woman died on Friday after receiving the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The patient got the injection of the Pfizer vaccine around 12 p.m. at the COVID-19 vaccination site located at Cal Poly Pomona, according to Dr. Michael E. Morris, physician director of Kaiser Permanente Southern California’s COVID-19 Vaccination Program.

While waiting in the observation area, she reported feeling discomfort and, while being evaluated by medical personnel, she lost consciousness, Morris said in a statement.

Of course this is not an isolated case.  According to the latest VAERS data, there have been hundreds of deaths in the U.S. so far.

Unfortunately, Dr. Fauci is now telling us that these experimental treatments don’t even work very well against the new South African variant…

Fauci, speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” said less is known about the South African variant than the U.K. version, which has proved to be more transmissible than the original version of the virus.

“But we do know that it (the South Africa variant) evades the protection from some of the monoclonal antibodies, and it diminishes somewhat the capability and the effectiveness of the vaccine to block it,” Fauci said. “It doesn’t eliminate it, but it diminishes it by multiple fold.

And we are also being told that even if the whole world embraces the treatments, COVID will “remain with us” indefinitely…

The world should be prepared for the coronavirus to continue to circulate long-term despite the roll-out of vaccines, the head of the EU’s ECDC health agency, Andrea Ammon, said on Friday.

‘We should be prepared that it will remain with us,’ the head of the Stockholm-based European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said in an interview.

So it appears that authorities will want us to “mask up” and practice social distancing for the foreseeable future, and it is just a matter of time before the next pandemic comes along.

If someone had told me what life would be like in 2021 when I was a kid, I would not have believed them.

Our world has become a really crazy place, and the pace of change is only going to accelerate as we move into the future…

Behind the United States Space Force

Meet the newest branch of the United States Armed Forces – the United States Space Force.  Space Force was created on December 20, 2019, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act in 2020 and is part of the Department of the Air Force.  The United States Marine Corps is similar in that it also falls under another military branch, the Department of the Navy.  The mission of Space Force is to protect U.S. and allies in space and provide space-based capabilities to joint forces.  All previously created military space programs will now fall under Space Force and members will continue to be called “Guardians,” which is a name given to the original US Air Force Space command.

Space Force was created almost a year before the 2020 election and this fact is important to consider because of their technological capabilities.  Using state-of-the-art satellites and communication systems, Space Force has the uniquely sophisticated capability to perform surveillance on various technology systems.  One such system, which you all have probably heard of by now, is Dominion Voting Systems.  These voting systems are connected to the internet via a network of private servers, owned by Dominion.  Rudy Giuliani, who is currently be sued by Dominion for defamation, states that his conclusive evidence will save him from the frivolous lawsuit.  Is it possible Giuliani received this supposed evidence from the US Space Force?

Evidence of election fraud also showed up in Italy with a former head of IT at Leonardo SpA.  Arturo D’Elia was formerly charged by a public prosecutor in Naples for manipulation of technology/data and for planting viruses on computer systems at Leonardo SpA.  The charges are interesting because D’Elia stated that he was directed by US personnel from the US Embassy in Rome to perform these actions.  D’Elia went on to say that he transmitted switched votes to a communications tower in Frankfurt, Germany, which transmitted the date via military-grade encryption to a military satellite.  Is it possible that US Space Force monitored these transmissions and was able to decrypt the data using their superior technological capabilities?

The evidence of election fraud is there but this kind of article won’t ever appear in the mainstream media except to say that it’s fake news, their usual ploy in defense of accusations that could help to bring down the deep state.  One thing for sure here is that Trump ensured that the Space Force was created and that it would play a central role in protecting the United States in cyber space and beyond.

I found an interesting structure on Mars. It has an upper look out tower where they could see anyone coming from far away. It also helps that the building is on the side of a hill. There is also a strange twisted structure not far away. That twisted structure also looks intelligently made and looks like nothing else seen on Mars. A third structure...a monument or monolith is fallen over but you can easily make out the structure and its size. The first structure is only about 1 meter across and the monolith is two or more meters across. The aliens who built these were small in stature, about 5-8cm tall, and yet, they designed the structures so well, that they stood the test of time...to tell us their story.

UFO Disguised As Meteor Over Melbourne, Australia Feb 14, 2021, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: February 14, 2021

Location of sighting: Melbourne, Australia

 

This UFO was recorded by Fernando Braga in Melbourne last night. He recorded what he believes to be a meteor falling at 10:40 PM. But I really don't think its a meteor. You see, the object doesn't fall fast. A meteor would be moving twice as fast, but this is a bit slow. Also I see no tail on this meteor. Instead it looks like its a round metallic spiked object, much like the old ship mine explosives in the ocean back in WWII. I also don't see an explosion, but do see a flash, but a second after the flash we see the object is still intact! Then the object goes dark. This is a UFO disguising as a meteor to fool both radar and any eyewitnesses that night.

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.

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

Credit: Sky History

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.

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.”

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.

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.
