David Wilcock: Ancient Lost Knowledge… The Earth’s Cycle and Hidden Meanings
David Wilcock maps out the three 3rd density cycles which have shaped the history of intelligent life on Earth. The first cycle, with Lemuria, degraded as many different off-world cultures did not integrate well. Thus, this first cycle was a failure. The second cycle came and went quietly with few ascensions. As we approach the end of the third cycle, are we doomed to repeat the mistakes that have locked humanity in 3rd density? David examines these cycles in association with Atlantis and ancient texts from around the world.

Date of sighting: Feb 1, 2021 Location of sighting: London, England
This UFO was seen and recorded by Youtuber UFO London. He caught an unknown flying object shooting past the UK news reporter.
The video is slowed down and shows close ups to help us better see the object. What looks like one UFO is actually two! The UFOs are flying side by side. This is similar to USAF military jet formation where a US fighter jet always takes off with a wingman. A wingman is a second fighter jet that follows along side you to watch out for you. 100% proof of UFOs Over London!

Location of sighting: San Pedro Valle, Colombia
Colombia is well known for its UFO sightings and here in this video is more evidence to such. The UFO is seen flying over the forest area along some mountains and was noticed by Youtuber Anderson Osorio who recorded its movement for us. The video was taken late at night and shows an unknown glowing object. Its amazing to watch this object moving across the sky like that. Its at cloud level and moves very fast. Defiantly a UFO.

Date of sighting: Feb 7, 2021 Location of sighting: Makaha Oahu, Hawaii, USA
UFOs are often come from underwater base and wander to the shores to explore. Here we have just such a UFO. The craft is coming very close the top of the building where it can scan and study the humans inside. I really like this video, because she has a steady hand with the camera and we get to see the movement of the UFO really well. At the end of the video, one person laughs and says its a plane, but honestly he is just guessing. There is no sound, no aircraft lights and no wings for him to jump to such a conclusion. This is a UFO.

Eyewitness states:
This is the 2nd of the two UFOs my friends and I saw on 2/7/21 at Makaha Beach on Oahu in Hawaii. I have never seen anything quite like these before. It was amazing. I'll definitely be going back to this spot and trying to call them back down! If anyone has a better camera than my Galaxy S9... please send it to me! 😆 Lol. Also if anyone knows how to get it squared up and more zoomed in I'd be interested to see what else people can extract!
UFO Fleet Over Israel Fired Upon By Iron Dome Defense, Dec 11, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Fleet Over Israel Fired Upon By Iron Dome Defense, Dec 11, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:Dec 11, 2020 Location of sighting: Isreal Source: Email report
Here is an interesting report that I have never seen before. It was sent to me by email from one of my subscribers.
I tried to figure out what the lights could be other than UFOs. At first I thought it might be the Israeli Army firing at a distant enemy. Then I thought it could be the famous Iron Dome defense system shooting at in coming missiles. But artillery fire is incredibly fast, unlike the lights we see here. I have watched videos of the Iron Dome defense system...This is the only likely possibility.
But what if the Iron Dome defense system, which was made to defend Israel from Palestinian missiles...what if the Iron Dome accidentally attacked a UFO fleet passing over Israel? That is what it looks like to me, I see a combination of both glowing UFOs and explosive smoke in the sky. I will put the comparison screenshot above to compare and contrast yourself.
Multiple fastwalker UFOs in the sky above Syracuse, NY 9-Mar-2021
Multiple fastwalker UFOs in the sky above Syracuse, NY 9-Mar-2021
A lot of strange UFO activity was filmed in the night sky above Syracuse in New York on 9th March 2021. Here a author’s statements…
Witness report:
Multiple orbs hovering and moving at impossible speeds at varying heights. Orbs appear directly overhead after being circled with a laser pointer. BACKGROUND: Since I first saw a large red orb in August of 2020 (MUFON report 110659) I have documented on video hundreds of orbs of varying sizes, colors and distances appearing over Central New York. These orbs are an every night event, if the sky is clear these strange orbs are visible. I have purchased two nightvision cameras in order to document and attempt to explain what I am seeing but the events I capture are getting stranger over time.On Tuesday March 9th, 2021 I went outside during my usual nightly filming session at 645 and set up one camera in a fixed location on a tripod and another on a monopod that I could use to control. I was on an elevated pool deck where I saw the typical orbs I see on a nightly basis and recorded those.
Throughout the night I observed multiple orbs moving through the airspace at speeds that I’ve never seen some were captured some were not. Around 750PM I saw a rather bright orb through my second camera and was tracking the object as it flew over my neighborhood. I used a green laser pointer to circle the object and upon doing this it seemed as though I provoked a response. The object began to move much more rapidly and also dimmed as it was very bright before. I eventually lost the object over the southern sky. I looked up and there were 2 very bright orbs directly over me. One orb seemed to circle and another orb slowly moved passed me until moving over the nearby treeline where I lost sight. I noticed a lot of movement in the sky above me but was unable to see anything else with my eyes. Unfortunately the video recording from the camera I was using is somehow corrupted despite all other files being intact. My other camera managed to record audio and video from the incident but was pointing slightly off from where I was. Upon playback of the videos recorded from my secondary camera, I realized how many objects had been above me that night.I have 100s of videos of these strange orbs flying over a densely populated city. I use star charts, air traffic radar, satellite tracking etc to debunk and I still cannot figure out what I am witnessing. I have uploaded a few videos to youtube in hopes of finding answers but I am not sure where to go now.
The singed hunk of asteroid was discovered in the driveway of a house in Winchcombe, a small town in the county of Gloucestershire in southwestern England. The rock, which weighs nearly 10.6 ounces (300 grams), is the first meteorite found in the UK since 1991, experts said, and the first known carbonaceous chondrite ever discovered in the country.
Carbonaceous chondrites are especially pristine and primitive meteorites that generally contain lots of organic material, including complex molecules such as amino acids. Studying carbonaceous chondrites can shed light on the early solar system and how the building blocks of life found their way to Earth, researchers say.
Such study is already under way at the Natural History Museum in London, where the meteorite now resides.
"This is really exciting. There are about 65,000 known meteorites in the entire world, and of those only 51 of them are carbonaceous chondrites that have been seen to fall like this one," Sara Russell, a meteorite scientist at the museum, said in a statement.
"It is almost mind-blowingly amazing, because we are working on the asteroid sample-return space missions Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx, and this material looks exactly like the material they are collecting," Russell said. "I am just speechless with excitement."
The newfound meteorite was spotted shortly after it came down. Residents of the Winchcombe house saw black smudges on their driveway on the morning of March 1, the day after the fireball blazed bright in England's skies. They soon collected pieces of the space rock that had made the marks and contacted the UK Meteor Observation Network, which then got in touch with Natural History Museum personnel.
"For somebody who didn't really have an idea what it actually was, the finder did a fantastic job in collecting it," Ashley King, another meteorite researcher at the museum, said in the same statement.
"He bagged most of it up really quickly on Monday morning, perhaps less than 12 hours after the actual event. He then kept finding bits in his garden over the next few days," King added. "It looks a bit like coal. It is really black, but it is much softer and is really quite fragile. It is exciting for us, because this type of meteorite is incredibly rare but holds important clues about our origins."
The parent bodies of carbonaceous chondrites can hit Earth's atmosphere going more than 150,000 mph (240,000 kph), King said. But the Feb. 28 fireball came in much more slowly, at "only" around 31,000 mph (50,000 kph), which explains why some pieces of the rock survived the fiery ordeal.
"The fact that it was going quite slowly, and then that it was collected so quickly after landing, avoiding any rainfall that could change its pristine composition, means that we've just really lucked out with everything," he said.
A number of fireball cameras captured the Feb. 28 event, allowing researchers to calculate a probable landing zone for meteorites and determine a rough trajectory for the parent body. These analyses indicate that the object came from the outer region of the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, scientists said.
There may well be more meteorite fragments from the Feb. 28 fireball waiting to be found. If you spot something in the Gloucestershire area that you suspect is a space rock, photograph it and record its location, Natural History Museum personnel said. Then collect a sample using a gloved hand, store the stuff in aluminum foil and contact the museum.

At least once in its past, Earth existed as a roiling ball of molten rock that might have had the consistency of room-temperature oil, but would been untouchable at some 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,090 degrees Celsius).
As magma oceans ebbed and flowed, the tumult might have launched elements conducive for life out of the rock and into our atmosphere. Researchers previously thought that maybe similar fluid dynamics — and the resulting spewing of life-supporting materials — likewise happened on Mars. But new research suggests that's not the case.
“We’ve had so little time to think about how a planet would evolve without a melting step, it’s hard to tell if this is a net positive or net negative for [the possibility of] life,” says Francis McCubbin, a NASA national materials coordinator and researcher who co-authored the new research.
By studying meteorites that came from Mars, McCubbin and his colleagues determined that the planet hosts two regions where the rock contains different ratios of hydrogen varieties. If the planet had once been awash in liquid rock, the same ratio of hydrogen types would be found all over the place, the team concluded in their Nature Geoscience paper.
Hydrogen analysis is one way to figure out whether Mars ever had a global magma ocean, McCubbin says. Other, yet-unstudied chemical systems on the planet could reveal ocean formation. That’s part of why McCubbin says it’s too early to consider this finding a thumbs-down for the possibility of life on Mars — and why their team plans to keep looking for signs of a once-liquid planet.
Goodness gracious, great balls of magma
Before our solar system had planets, it had dust and gas. When those particles started clumping together, researchers think the clumps collided again and again until entire planets formed. Eventually, the clusters melted into an ocean of magma. Like a blender mixing strawberries and bananas into a smoothie, liquifying would swirl all the deposits from the early solar system together. The process would also churn material from inside the planet core and release it into the atmosphere, McCubbin says, including elements and chemicals necessary for life.
McCubbin and his colleagues, including first author Jessica Barnes, a University of Arizona cosmochemist whom McCubbin calls a “rock star” in the field, studied whether that potentially life-giving magma formed by first looking at two meteorites. These rock chunks are pieces of Mars’ surface, or crust, that crash-landed in Africa and Antarctica. Researchers have calculated that one last interacted with martian water 3.9 billion years ago, and the other 1.5 billion years ago.
McCubbin and his team found that there are different versions of hydrogen in those two rocks, and that the proportions of each element variety are similar. A comparable hydrogen ratio also appears in more recent examinations of the planet’s crust, including in data from the Mars rover Curiosity. When the team compared all this information to Mars meteorites that originated from a deeper rocky layer in the planet, however, they saw something else. The hydrogen ratios in the deeper samples didn’t share the same ratio.
Other clues of planetary churning
Two mixes of hydrogen varieties suggest two spots of water formation on Mars that didn’t ever meet, and that subsurface, molten churns never happened. “A lot of what could have nurtured life in the atmosphere didn’t get there — maybe,” McCubbin says.
There are other ways material from the core of Mars could have reached the atmosphere, like constant volcanic activity or hydrothermal vents, McCubbin says. Additionally, planetary scientists need to look at other chemicals on Mars and see if they counter the hydrogen finds and support the concept of a magma ocean.
This research project relied heavily on studies from a range of meteorites — “it was sort of fortuitous that we could take a lot of data and compare them to our crustal samples,” McCubbin says. Future work will need to keep analyzing a whole suite of Mars samples. But don’t worry: NASA adds new Mars meteorites to their collection on a regular basis, McCubbin says. We’re retrieving more from Mars, too. The Perseverance rover will hit the planet to search for life in 2021, while another project might bring rock samples back a decade later.
If all goes according to plan, the team won’t be running low on samples to help them assess the Red Planet’s past anytime soon.
Ecoutez le vent et les premiers tirs de laser sur Mars
Ecoutez le vent et les premiers tirs de laser sur Mars
Le CNES vient de dévoiler les enregistrements réalisés depuis plusieurs semaines grâce au microphone qui équipe l’instrument Supercam embarqué sur le rover Perseverance.
C’est historique. Après un premier son dévoilé par la NASA peu de temps après l’atterrissage du rover Perseverance au mois de février dernier, le CNES dévoile aujourd’hui plusieurs enregistrements. Ils ont été réalisés grâce au microphone de sa SuperCam, un instrument de pointe qui embarque 5 techniques pour sonder le sol et l’environnement martien. « La qualité du signal est excellente », s’est félicitée Naomie Murdoch, Professeur à l’ISAE SUPAERO.
On peut donc entendre aujourd’hui le vent souffler sur Mars mais aussi les tirs lasers qui sont commandés à distance pour analyser les roches.
A découvrir aussi en vidéo :
Des données sur la vitesse du vent et les turbulences
Le son ne se propage pas de la même manière sur Mars que sur la Terre. « Deux personnes qui se parlent auraient du mal à s’entendre », a expliqué Naomie Murdoch. « La pression martienne est 150 fois moindre et il y a de l’oxyde de carbone dans l’atmosphère. Le microphone devait donc être très sensible pour que l’on puisse entendre les sons malgré la forte atténuation sur cette planète », complète-t-elle.
Outre l’émotion qui accompagne cette première, ces sons vont compléter les informations sur les propriétés physiques des roches, leur composition chimique et la minéralogie des sites. « Cela peut nous indiquer si la surface est dure ou molle et permettre ainsi de différencier les matériaux », a précisé Naomie Murdoch. Ce n’est pas tout. Ecouter le vent permettra de connaître son sens et sa vitesse mais aussi d’étudier les turbulences dans l’atmosphère.
330-Foot-Tall Skyscraper Monolith or Tower Found Near Area 51 using Satellite Images – In The Middle of Nowhere (video)
330-Foot-Tall Skyscraper Monolith or Tower Found Near Area 51 using Satellite Images – In The Middle of Nowhere (video)
A group of ufologists made a marvelous discovery when analyzing some of the photographs in Area 51, situated in Nevada. Area 51, according to conspirators, is the location where US armed forces execute extraterrestrial technology tests.
It’s a triangular monolith or tower with a rather modern theme. The tower lies on a circular foundation and is measured to be around 330 feet tall. The coordinates are: 37º14’44” N 115º49’22” W
Civilians are not permitted to reach this base, of course. Most conspirators assume that this is a kind of contact station for extraterrestrial cultures. Others assume that this structure is used for teleportation.
Another hypothesis supports the notion that the structure is built to monitor the classified aircraft manufactured by the Americans. Finally, a tiny number of ufologists claim that the system is nothing but a hologram.
The members of Area 51, however, fail to make any statements on the intent of this structure. They always demand that all interested people don’t place their noses where they’re not being questioned. As long as we don’t realize the true facts, we can just guess.
Have a peek at the video below and share your impressions with us.
A Secret Property is a thinly-veiled, fictional version of what happened at Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England in December 1980. It’s author: the late Ralph Noyes who rose to a significant position in the U.K. Ministry of Defense. Consider the following: in Noyes’ story we have a Colonel Hoyt, a military base called Bentbridge, and mysterious action deep in the woods. And, Noyes had the absolute gall to deny that his story was a roman-à-clef. The Grammarist says: “A roman-à-clef is a novel which depicts real-world people and events, with fictional names. Usually, details concerning the people and events are changed in minor ways in order to sustain the pretense of fiction. The amount of fictionalization in a roman-à-clef can vary widely.”
In Noyes’ case, the amount was huge. Most important of all, it is not the matter of how much data and material Noyes chose to fictionalize in A Secret Property. Rather, it’s the theme of Noyes’ story that is so important and relevant to us – more than thirty-five years after his book was published. In her 1991 book From Out of the Blue, Jenny Randles said of Noyes’ story that it involved a technology that “produces etheric visions of aliens and spaceships” and that can “effect the real world in various hazardous ways.” We’re talking about the Rendlesham event being a secret experiment undertaken by military personnel, intelligence agencies and more.
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
In her third book on the subject of Rendlesham – UFO Crash Landing?– Randles got right to the heart of the matter, pointing out something that has been largely overlooked by so many in Ufology. Jenny said that Noyes’ scenario in A Secret Property brought together “sophisticated computer-controlled technology with the power within human consciousness and the natural forces of the Earth itself. Blending both mind and electronics together, it endeavored to forge a powerful ‘psychic’ weapon.” Just about everything Noyes wrote about in his 1985 novel – and that Randles discussed in relation to Noyes – smacks of classified operations, visionary experiences, and strange technology; all of which are at the heart of the overall “secret experiment” scenario for what happened at Rendlesham Forest more than forty years ago. Randles may not have realized how close she came to penetrating the truth of the matter. I would say she was right on the cusp of one of the most important parts of this overall story. Unfortunately, yet predictably, in the 1990s mainstream Ufology was still way too excited – years after Rendlesham occurred – by tales of aliens and extraterrestrial spaceships. Much of that was prompted by the influence that the hugely popular show The X-Files had on the U.K.’s ufology.
Noyes knew something of what happened in the woods – or, at the very least, he had his suspicions about the genuine scenario. Perhaps, those suspicions came via government sources – possibly, even, from retired colleagues from the MoD, who may have provided a few snippets of information and strategically-placed clues. In all probability, though, Noyes never knew the full story, but learned enough of it to allow him to blend the shocking truth into a readable page-turner. Noyes did us all a service by trying to get the truth of Rendlesham into the open, and without causing himself problems with his old employers at the Ministry of Defense. He was, after all, on a government pension, something that would certainly have led him to tread very carefully.
Ralph Noyes was interviewed by Andy Roberts and Dr. David Clarke, who have both taken an interest in the Rendlesham case. Noyes told the pair: “In the several capacities which brought me into touch with UFO reports during my 28 years in the MoD, I encountered several reports, particularly those from military establishments, which indicated ‘high strangeness.’ I, and military colleagues, had little doubt something had taken place for which we had no explanation.” On the matter of what happened in those woods – or what didn’t happen, depending where you’re coming from – Noyes offered the following to Clarke and Roberts: “There is no doubt at all that the MoD played a thoroughly dishonest game over the Rendlesham affair…The case itself is complex. I have given my own views about it–essentially that Halt and several others came face to face with a striking manifestation of the ‘UFO phenomenon’ whatever that may be, in the December of 1980.”
Noyes also made this highly valid statement: “Unless Lt. Col. Halt was out of his mind, there is clear evidence in his report that British airspace and territory were intruded upon by an unidentified vehicle on two occasions in late December 1980 and that no authority was able to prevent this. If, on the other hand, Halt’s report cannot be believed, there is equally clear evidence of a serious misjudgment of events by USAF personnel at an important base in British territory. Either way, the case can hardly be without defense significance.”

La Chine et la Russie signent un accord pour la construction d'un village lunaire
La Chine et la Russie signent un accord pour la construction d'un village lunaire
Rémy Decourt - Journaliste
[EN VIDÉO] Bientôt une base permanente sur la Lune ?La Lune est l’astre le plus proche de la Terre. Pourtant, depuis la fin du programme Apollo, notre satellite naturel n’a plus connu de visite. Cela pourrait bientôt changer car l'Agence spatiale européenne (Esa) prépare la construction d’une base permanente à sa surface. La chaîne Euronews nous parle de ce projet ambitieux dans ce nouvel épisode de Space.
Pour ne pas laisser les États-Unis, seuls sur la Lune, s'accaparer des ressources naturelles et s'approprier de grands territoires comme le permet le Space Act of 2015, la Chine et la Russie ont décidé de coopérer dans la réalisation d'une station internationale de recherche lunaire. Cette station pourrait soit être une base en dur installée au pôle sud, soit une station spatiale orbitale. Un mémorandum d'accord vient d'être signé entre les agences spatiales chinoise et russe qui invitent également tous les pays à y participer.
ObjectifLunepour la Chine et la Russie. Les deux puissances spatiales veulent également leur « part de la Lune » mais aussi ne pas trop se faire distancer par les États-Unis dont les ambitions lunaires inquiètent les deux pays, traditionnellement opposés à Washington.
Ce 9 mars, dans un communiqué conjoint, Zhang Kejian, directeur de l'Agence spatiale chinoise (CNSA, China National Space Administration), et Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin, directeur général de Roscosmos (Russian National Aerospace Corporation), ont annoncé avoir signé un « Mémorandum d'accord entre le gouvernement de la République populaire de Chine et le gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie pour la construction en coopération d'une station internationale de recherche lunaire. »
S'inspirant du concept de « village lunaire » ou « Moon Village » proposé par le directeur général de l'ESA, l'Allemand Jan Woerner, ce projet sera ouvert à tous les pays intéressés. Des partenariats internationaux qui « visent à renforcer la collaboration en matière de recherche et à promouvoir l'exploration et l'utilisation de l'espace à des fins pacifiques dans l'intérêt de toute l'humanité », souligne le communiqué. Cela dit, la Chine et la Russie cherchent surtout à fédérer autour d'elles les puissances spatiales des pays émergents d'Asie, d'Afrique et d'Amérique du Sud qui ne participent pas au programme Artemis des États-Unis. Quant à l'Agence spatiale européenne, il ne fait guère de doute qu'elle participera d'une manière ou d'une autre à cette initiative russo-chinoise. Difficile d'imaginer l'ESA faire l'impasse sur un projet aussi ambitieux, avec d'importantes retombées technologiques, scientifiques et économiques, elle qui coopère déjà avec ses deux puissances spatiales sur plusieurs programmes d'exploration et d'observation de la Terre et qui participe à de nombreuses activées liées aux vols habités.
Concept d'une base lunaire au pôle sud de l'Agence spatiale chinoise.
Incertitude sur la nature de cette future station de recherche : base au sol ou station en orbite
Cette annonce, qui ne surprend pas les spécialistes, est tout de même assez vague. Bien que cela fasse plusieurs années que Russes et Chinois tendent à se rapprocher autour d'ambitieux programmes spatiaux, on peut s'étonner que ce mémorandum ne précise pas s'il s'agit d'une base habitée sur la surface ou d'une station en orbite à proximité de la Lune. Le communiqué conjoint se borne à préciser qu'il est question d'une « Station internationale de recherche lunaire (ILRS, International Lunar Research Station) [qui] consiste en un ensemble d'outils de recherche expérimentaux créés à la surface ou en orbite de la Lune et conçus pour mener des travaux pluridisciplinaires.»
À cela s'ajoute qu'aucun calendrier n'a été annoncé et encore moins le budget que les deux puissances prévoient d'allouer à ce projet. Cependant, une feuille de route devrait être rendue publique « sous peu » fixant des objectifs calendaires avec, en point de mire, une date de mise en service, vraisemblablement dans le courant de la décennie 2030.
Cela dit, on imagine mal les Chinois, voire les Russes, se cantonner à l'orbite lunaire et ne pas débarquer des taïkonautes et des cosmonautes sur la Lune alors qu'Américains y séjourneront et travailleront d'ici moins d'une décennie. Il faut savoir que les plans de l'Agence spatiale chinoise prévoient la construction d'une base lunaire près du pôle sud qui devrait être mise en service vers 2035, suivie d'une présence humaine prolongée et permanente pour la période 2036-2045. À suivre donc.
CE QU'IL FAUT RETENIR
Ensemble, la Russie et la Chine souhaitent conquérir la Lune.
Bien que la Chine ait rattrapé son retard sur la Russie, certaines technologies lui manquent, mais elle pourra peut-être les acquérir à bon compte grâce à ce partenariat spatial.
De son côté, la Russie, en se tournant vers la Chine, se prépare à la fin de la Station spatiale internationale (ISS) et de ses obligations vis-à-vis des partenaires occidentaux liés à ce programme.
POUR EN SAVOIR PLUS
Pour explorer la Lune, la Chine renforce ses partenariats avec la Russie
La Chine et la Russie ont décidé de renforcer leurs liens dans le domaine spatial. Cette coopération sera officialisée cet automne. Elle engagera les deux pays sur des programmes emblématiques et d'envergure, notamment l'exploration de la Lune.
Les sanctions occidentales mises en place contre la Russie suite à l'annexion de la Crimée en mars 2014 pénalisent l'économie russe à court terme. Toutefois, ces mesures éloignent la Russie du monde occidental et la poussent vers d'autres pays, comme la Chine et l'Inde. Dans le domaine spatial, malgré des relations de travail excellentes avec la Nasa et l'ESA (le programme de la Station spatiale internationale est un exemple de relations pragmatiques et intelligentes entre tous les partenaires), la Russie se tourne vers les Brics (Brésil, Russie, Inde, Chine et Afrique du Sud) et d'autres pays comme l'Indonésie, les Émirats arabes unis, le Vietnam et l'Iran.
Dans ce contexte, la Russie et la Chine ont décidé de renforcer leurs partenariats dans le secteur spatial. Cet automne, ces deux pays signeront des accords de coopération pour la période 2018-2022 dans de nombreux domaines. Ils prévoient notamment une exploration commune de la Lune, d'importants transferts de technologies et des partenariats dans le domaine de l'accès à l'espace et le partage de données liées à l'observation de la Terre. Cependant, la Russie ne va évidemment pas réduire son avantage technologique en matière de nouvelles technologies spatiales.
Résoudre certains problèmes technologiques
Ces deux pays ont également décidé de rendre compatibles entre eux les systèmes de navigation et positionnement par satellites Glonass (Russie) et Beidou (Chine). Des stations sol de ces GPS russes et chinois seront notamment installées sur le territoire de chacun.
Pour la Chine, ces futurs partenariats arrivent à point nommé : ils pourraient l'aider à résoudre un certain nombre de problèmes technologiques clés pour les étapes futures de son programme spatial. En s'associant à la Russie, la Chine choisit ainsi une manière de contourner les effets des embargos et autres restrictions Itar auxquelles elle est encore soumise.
Wetenschappers willen Ark van Noach bouwen op de maan
Wetenschappers willen Ark van Noach bouwen op de maan
Wetenschappers van de universiteit van Arizona hebben een opmerkelijk voorstel uitgewerkt dat het leven op Aarde zou kunnen redden mocht het ooit tot een Apocalyps komen. Ze willen een Ark van Noach bouwen in de lavatunnels op de maan, waarin erfelijk materiaal bewaard zou worden van 6,7 miljoen schimmel-, plant- en diersoorten. Inclusief menselijke zaad- en eicellen.
Het idee werd gepresenteerd op de IEEE Aerospace Conference, die momenteel (virtueel) plaatsvindt. Zelf noemen de wetenschappers het een “verzekeringspolis voor de Aarde”. Volgens professor Jekan Thanga is de kans groot dat de Aarde ooit geconfronteerd wordt met een natuurramp of een menselijke bedreiging zoals een globale nucleaire oorlog, waardoor een groot aantal soorten in korte tijd uitgeroeid zal worden.
De oplossing is volgens zijn team de bouw van een Ark van Noach op de maan. En dat plan is verrassend realistisch. De Ark zou ondergebracht worden in de lavatunnels op onze satelliet. Die werden voor het eerst ontdekt in 2013, zitten 80 tot 100 meter onder de grond en er heerst een vrij constante temperatuur van -25 graden Celsius. Ze zouden al drie tot vier miljard jaar ongerept gebleven zijn. “Ze zijn ook maar vier dagen van de Aarde verwijderd”, aldus Thanga. “En ze zijn een perfecte schuilplaats tegen de temperatuurschommelingen aan de oppervlakte van de maan, kosmische straling en het inslaan van kleine meteorieten.”
Doomsday Vault
De Ark zou het aardse leven bewaren in speciale modules, bij een temperatuur van minder dan -180 graden Celsius. Op die manier kan het honderden jaren overleven, volgens de wetenschappers. Het zou om een opzet gaan dat te vergelijken is met de Doomsday of Global Seed Vault. Die zit een paar honderd meter onder de eilandengroep Spitsbergen vlakbij de Noordpool en herbergt 556 miljoen zaden. De zaden zouden daar veilig moeten zitten voor het geval een gigantische ramp alle gewassen op aarde zou vernietigen. Een soortgelijke kluis op de maan zou echter nóg veiliger zijn, volgens de Amerikaanse wetenschappers.
Energie opwekken voor het project zou geen probleem mogen zijn op de maan. Met amper 190 vierkante meter aan zonnepanelen zou het moeten lukken, volgens de wetenschappers. Zowel de levering als de constructie van de Ark zou niet evident zijn, maar ook niet onmogelijk.
Het vervoeren van de stalen naar de maan zou volgens Thanga met 250 vluchten geklaard kunnen worden. Ter vergelijking: de bouw van het internationaal ruimtestation ISS gebeurde met 40 vluchten. Zelf vindt hij dat dit meevalt. “We hadden verwacht dat het er veel meer zouden zijn”, zegt hij.
Hindernissen
Maar eerst moeten nog een aantal praktische hindernissen overwonnen worden. “Ons onderzoek leert ons dat er nieuwe technologieën nodig zijn om dit tot een goed einde te brengen", klinkt het. “Er zijn ook investeringen en nieuwe ontwikkelingen nodig in de robotica, om onder de extreem koude temperaturen te kunnen opereren.”

60 jaar oude fysicavoorspelling komt uit: universum spuugt deeltjes uit met enorme energie
60 jaar oude fysicavoorspelling komt uit: universum spuugt deeltjes uit met enorme energie
Ons universum spuugt deeltjes uit met energieën die wij op aarde nooit zouden kunnen bereiken. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van de VUB-groep astrodeeltjesfysica, waarvan de resultaten in het gerenommeerde tijdschrift Nature gepubliceerd werden. Daarmee is een 60 jaar oude fysicavoorspelling realiteit geworden.
In 1960 voorspelde Nobelprijswinnaar Sheldon Glashow een proces binnen het Standaardmodel, het belangrijkste model van de deeltjesfysica. De theorie beschrijft de interactie van een antineutrino (spookachtige subatomaire deeltjes, onder meer afkomstig uit de meest extreme omgevingen in het heelal) met een elektron waarbij een nieuw deeltje geproduceerd wordt. Maar geen enkele deeltjesversneller op aarde is in staat dit proces te laten plaatsvinden, omdat dit extreem hoge deeltjesenergie vraagt.
Het IceCube Neutrino Observatorium, een enorme telescoop die in de gletsjer van Antarctica is ingegraven, heeft nu echter waargenomen dat er in ons universum toch natuurlijke versnellers zijn. Er werd een (anti)neutrino ontdekt dat vanuit de ruimte naar de aarde raasde en 6,3 peta-elektronvolts (PeV) aan energie vervoerde. Diep in de ijskap op de Zuidpool botste het tegen een elektron en produceerde een deeltje dat snel verviel in een douche van secundaire deeltjes. IceCube had daarmee de Glashow-resonantie waargenomen, het fenomeen dat in 1960 werd voorspeld door de Nobelprijswinnaar.
Daarmee is bewezen dat er in ons universum wel degelijk natuurlijke versnellers zijn. Superzware zwarte gaten in de centra van melkwegstelsels en andere extreme kosmische gebeurtenissen kunnen deeltjes opwekken met energieën die onmogelijk op aarde kunnen worden gemaakt. “Dit toont duidelijk het belang van de astrodeeltjesfysica bij fundamenteel onderzoek op de hoogste energieschalen”, aldus Nick van Eijndhoven, leider van de VUB-groep astrodeeltjesfysica. “En niet enkel dat: de technologieën die voor dergelijk onderzoek ontwikkeld worden, zoals dataverwerking of radiotechnologie, vinden hun toepassing in de hele maatschappij.”

Anunnaki *****Breaking news*****
Anunnaki *****Breaking news*****
ANUNNAKI….
The Annunaki are the ones that began civilization on Earth, by creating Man with part of their own DNA. And yes, Man was initially created as a goldmining slave. The Annunaki then upgraded Man to become sentient and gave him this world to have dominion over.
The Reptilians then came to Earth, and they have secretly enslaved Man ever since. The Annunaki have returned to free Man from this bondage….there was a lot of Pleiadian seeding in the Nordic lines, but since the Pleiadians and
Annunaki are essentially the same base race, there isn’t a lot of difference.
If you are Rh-, you have a direct connection to the Annunaki. If you are Rh+, your line is one of the created lines.
High IQ, eyes in the hazel, blue to green spectrum, industrious/innovative, protective of family, very high ethical and moral code, physically attractive (though this is of course in the eye of the beholder). But again, one should not assume that any of these traits denote “superior” genetics, because the infusion of other seeder groups has made such an assumption impossible.
There’s an old saying… “What you are is God’s gift to you. What you make of yourself is your gift to God.”
Because the body affects the spirit.
A man born in Iceland is different than a man born in Africa. These differences affect how a person will be embraced by those around him. Each world that created seedlines here, wanted to harvest souls that would fit into their world’s homogenous culture. Since mixed seedlines have learned to live harmoniously together her (occasionally), then this world will be used for mixed seeds that are found worthy.
Annunaki teleportation technology isn’t quite the same as what you’ve seen on Star Trek. The Annunaki are masters of transphasic technology, which is the science of changing the molecular vibration of an object, so it can operate within the laws of a different phase… I’ll explain.
If you wanted to transport from the planet to an orbiting ship, a transtator beam would vibrate your body at the molecular level, taking you out of phase with your surroundings, this allows you to pass through solid matter. A second magnetic (tractor) beam would lock onto the magnetic poles of your molecules.
The magnetic beam lifts and delivers you to the waiting ship, where a third transtator beam returns your vibration to its original phase.
We often use a variation of this that doesn’t change the phase of the person, but instead changes the phase of anything the person passes through during transport.
The Galactic Federation of Light (GFL) just takes UFO footage and claims it for themselves. The UFO wave that is now filling your skies, came right after Lord RayEl announced their imminent arrival, so those ships are NOT GFL, they are Annunaki ships, under Lord RayEl’s command….our Lord wants you to love and learn, but this is also the time of judgment, so there will be fear in the hearts of those who are not worthy.
Enki stayed after Enlil left, so history recorded his version of events, but it was Enki that caused the worker revolt so that the necessity of creating slaves would arise, then Enki made the slaves in such a way, that they would be part Annunaki, and thus, an obligation to preserve them was forced upon the Annunaki. And why did Enki do all of this? Because he wanted to create a kingdom on Earth for himself, with obedient slaves. Hardly humanity’s hero.
Enlil was the responsible one, he was the one against creating a retarded version of the Annunaki, simply to enslave them, his decisions were based on morality and mercy. Once there was no turning back, it was Enlil who nurtured humanity along its path to sentience.
2 Timothy 3:1-3 Is absolutely today’s world
What are angels?
“Angel” is an occupational designation within the Annunaki Empire. There are people who have volunteered for angelic duty from many races within the Empire.
Transtator technology is behind our interstellar communications and the way in which our ships travel faster than light. The visible light spectrum you all see is only the smallest fraction of light’s full spectrum, and at different levels in the light spectrum, light travels at different speeds. We change the phasic state of a wave or an object, to match the vibration of these higher
levels, and then we can move an object within those physical laws of speed. When we return to this phase, we’ve, by relativity, traveled farther and faster than the speed of light in this spectrum.
What are Reptilians?
The Reptilians are the armies of Satan, and the Anunnaki fleet has arrived to assist Lord RayEl to remove Satan and his legions from Earth.
Reptilian cloaking technology
Eyes and teeth are quickly covered and uncovered by lids and lips. The visual masking device the Reptilians use sometimes has a short lag time because of the rapid lid and lip movement. It’s basically a system glitch.
This is why in the old days, commoners were forbidden to look royalty in the eyes.
Everything is energy, and when broken down to its base form, one could call it a hologram.
Almost every public figure is either Reptilian or under Reptilian control. This has been a very large operation, and influencing/educating the masses has been their priority one, so they have left nothing to chance.
The Nephilim
The Nephilim were the giants, they were crossbreeds between Annunaki men and Earth women.
Genesis 6:1-4 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in[a] man for ever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
Yeshua’s imprint on the Shroud of Turin
The imprint on the shroud was caused by the old-style transporters the Annunaki used. Back then they were not used on living things, only for transporting cargo, because the process of molecular acceleration used to make an object change its phasic state, allowing it to pass through another object, caused the accelerated object to heat up considerably. As most of you know from basic physics, molecular acceleration produces heat, hence the scorching of the shroud. Fortunately, the modern transporters use a cool-beam technology….the acceleration process does release light. And no, there is no published information on the cool-beam method the Annunaki uses… At least not yet….it is a matter of degrees, but there is a level that is acceptable to the rest of the neighborhood. Man has been quarantined here, so he could reach that level, and not pose a danger to others in this region of space.
In fairness, your species started off from a deficit position, and you’ve come a long way in a relatively short period of time.
The Pleiadians are real, they are “cousins” of the Anunnaki, and they have been working on Earth for a long time. Most of their work involved seeding the Nordic lines. The video is not made by real Pleiadians though. They are both capable of both good and evil, but they possess an enlightened moral core that drives them to do good.
Lord RayEl is half Anunnaki, and half Human. His body is Human, but (as we all watched during the Jerusalem Holy Spirit event) his Spirit is Anunnaki. Lord RayEl announced “The Armies of Heaven are fast approaching” on May 21,
2011 address. They were still about 6 months away, traveling toward Earth at high speed. The majority of the fleet arrived in November through January, and have been parked in orbit by Earth, Mars, and the Sun ever since.
One must be careful not to turn the Anunnaki into magicians. They are immensely powerful, but they do obey most of the laws of physics. When they needed gold, they dug for it.
The heaviest Anunnaki and Pleiadian strains are usually found in caucasian lines, but the Reptilians spread their seedline almost everywhere, so there really isn’t a good way to differentiate seedlines by sight. We know how people love to segregate themselves and assume superiority/inferiority, based on things that don’t matter as much as a person’s quality of character, so we are saving this for last, so as not to put another reason for discrimination on the table.
Anunnaki spirit yes, but that doesn’t change the fact that his last incarnation on Earth was as a British King. The reason that the last language on Earth shall be English, is because the Anunnaki speak this as their preferred language. It was introduced and promoted on Earth for this reason.
Zephaniah 3:9 “For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.”
Different groups have made individual contacts, but not to create human ambassadors or channels. The Anunnaki run the show on Earth, so no alien group is going to speak unauthorized. Now that Christ is here, everything official comes through us.
As to the aliens in question, there is no such thing as “interdimensional beings”, we all have height, width, and depth, which means that we all occupy 3-dimensional space. What is described as interdimensional beings, are simply aliens using transphasic technology. This technology allows them to vibrate at different frequencies, thereby removing themselves from your visible light spectrum.
Time does not exist, it is not a dimension nor a physical construct, it is an artificial metric used for measuring growth and duration. Do not be fooled by physicists with unquantifiable theories. Gravity is simply magnetism, and localized gravitational fields can interrupt the pull of the Earth’s field.
The NSA conducts covert operations of this nature, as a branch of the U.S. Intelligence infrastructure, they engage in both active and responsive projects under the umbrella of National Security. The FBI is a law enforcement agency.
Some have asked why seedline mixing was so hated among the ancients? As we’ve explained, the groups that seeded this world wished to harvest matured souls at the end of this process and return them to their worlds. Their worlds are homogenous, so as to keep them peaceful, and here is an example of why they prefer a homogenous society. Iceland is one of the most homogenous societies on Earth, and a society that carries some of the strongest concentrations of Annunaki/Pleiadian seedlines. It is modern, peaceful, and nearly free of violent crime.
Unfortunately, racism does creep into homogenous societies, but it is also in non-homogenous societies, the difference being that in non-homogenous societies, racism often leads to violence. Don’t worry, a good soul is a good soul, and that is the criteria by which residency in the New Kingdom shall be judged.
The Annunaki were somewhat like humanity at one time, but they will better explain their history later. God is divine, but Man doesn’t fully understand what that means. The Bible never says that God created the universe. He created the Heavens and the Earth. Heavens are settled planets within the Empire, as Earth shall soon be. Satan is not God’s enemy, Satan is Man’s adversary. There are other rulers of planets, but they are part of the Council of the Empire. Yes, Lord RayEl can and will save the world.
The Empire is vast, but the Council exists because of different ideologies. There are worlds outside of the Empire, but I don’t personally know of anyone desiring to be among them. The Empire is mostly centered in this galaxy, but there has been tremendous expansion recently. I really should leave it to them to explain fully.
Once souls have reached a safe level of sentience, maturity, and enlightenment, they are allowed to join the greater communion of worlds.
The people of Earth (those who have reached this level), are about to graduate into this communion. There is a cooperative agreement between all of the seeders, but the original plan was to segregate the seed-lines, so the harvest would be simple. Mature souls from each seed-line would just go back to their homeworld, but the mixing of seed-lines has forced other options.
As anyone who has studied the history of the gods knows, the Anunnaki were/are very incestuous, which is why today’s royal families are so incestuous. BUT… The Anunnaki see people as spirits, not bodies, to them the body is only a suit that can be easily changed, so to them, it isn’t incest like humans see it. Actually, we are debating which form of transportation to use at the moment. If things are still relatively calm, then we will just use standard transportation, but if things are really bad, the Annunaki fleet is on standby.
And you will all have the opportunity to meet and work alongside Lord RayEl at the Ops Center. Triangles are the easiest shape to create and maintain with force fields when ships gate through stars. The biggest hassle for moving ships through interstellar space is fuel storage, but when using stars as “gas stations”, one can fuel up at one star and use that fuel to travel to the next star, so travel then becomes quite efficient.
Generally, the only fuel stored when “gating”, is the fuel that will be used while traveling at the destination system. When ready to travel to the next star, the course is plotted, a rather large thrust is engaged, and because of the relatively low drag of space, it is like riding a bullet from one star to the next. This method is not the same as subspace (warp) travel, which takes a ship into a higher spectral bandwidth, allowing it to reach near-light speed in that bandwidth, and faster than light speed (relative) in this bandwidth.
Black people are part Anunnaki, but “Humans” came later. The original creations were called “Man”, but when the Reptilians took over the project,
they infused their DNA into parts of the population, creating HU-Man (HU is an ancient word for serpent gods). Man and HU-Man later intermixed naturally, creating “human beings”, which were considered monsters by early society. Enki wanted to keep black people as slaves, so he refused to give them enough Anunnaki DNA to evolve them genetically, so the only way to get more of the Anunnaki DNA, was to integrate black people into Western societies, where natural intermixing increased the infusion of Anunnaki DNA. If you look at a black man from Canada, compared to one whose family line has never left.
Africa, you can really see the difference. It was a rough process, but the black man has made it. As disgusting as slavery is, it was the fastest way to force integrate Africans into Western society. There was no other way the white man would have accepted the black man into Western culture at the time… This way, as harsh as it was, both sides gave the other something needed. Because it most closely resembles Anunnaki society. The New Kingdom will closely resemble a modern and matured version of the West. I’m glad to help brother.
Satan does what he does because God wants him to strengthen Man through adversity because adversity does build character. There is of course a limit to that. A child starving to death in an Ethiopian desert isn’t learning anything that will make him worthy of the New Kingdom, he is only suffering needlessly… But his suffering is teaching a valuable and terrible lesson to others.
The reason for all the madness in the world is because Christ/Isa/HaMashiac has returned and is walking the earth today. And the media & governments are trying to cover it up.
'World's oldest impact crater' isn't an impact crater at all! 62-mile-wide Maniitsoq structure was created by geological processes 3 billion years ago and NOT a meteorite strike, scientists claim
'World's oldest impact crater' isn't an impact crater at all! 62-mile-wide Maniitsoq structure was created by geological processes 3 billion years ago and NOT a meteorite strike, scientists claim
Experts argued in 2012 that the Maniitsoq area of Greenland was an impact site
The crater had been eroded away, but deep signs of shock remained, they said
Such included signs of rocks being pulverised and a large magnetic anomaly
However, researchers led from Canada have rebutted this controversial concept
Some rocks in the 'crater' are identical to those found outside of the 'impact' site
And there was not evidence of impact shock in tiny grains of the mineral zircon
The 'world's oldest impact crater' — the vast Maniitsoq structure that lies on the coast of west Greenland — is actually nothing of the sort, geologists have claimed.
In 2012, an international team of researchers proposed that the 62 mile (100 kilometre) -wide structure was formed by a giant impact some 3 billion years ago.
There is no crater-shaped bowl in Maniitsoq. This, the researchers argued, eroded away, as the present surface was buried 14 miles down at the time of the impact.
Instead the team pointed to a magentic anomaly as well as signs of circular deep-crustal crushing — which they said was evidence of the penetrating impact shock.
This was met with scepticism, however, with some experts claiming that the Maniitsoq structure did not meet enough of the criteria to be classified as a crater.
Now, researchers led from Canada have shown that the structure was indeed created by the exact same, regular geological process as the surrounding area.
In fact, some of the magmatic rocks at the core of the alleged crater were identical to those found in an adjacent region, outside the proposed impact zone.
The 'world's oldest impact crater' — the vast Maniitsoq structure that lies on the coast of west Greenland — is actually nothing of the sort, geologists have claimed. Pictured: Finnefjeld mountain, which researchers claimed back in 2012 was the core of a remnant impact structure

THE ARCHEAN EON
The Archean is the second of Earth's geological eons, spanning from around 4–2.5 billion years ago.
At this time, the planet had cooled sufficiently for the continents to form and life on Earth was just beginning.
Rock outcrops dating back to the Archean eon have been found in various places across the globe — including Australia, Greenland, Scotland and Wyoming in the US.
They usually appear as granite-rich remains of continental crust, or heavily metamorphized deep-water sediment.
The hunt now continues for impact craters from the Archean eon, 4–2.5 billion years ago, when the continents were newly minted and life on Earth was just beginning.
Evidence for intense impact activity during this period can be found in the iconic craters on the moon's surface — but their terrestrial counterparts remain elusive.
It is possible than none actually remain, and that any evidence that once existed has been long ago eroded away or buried underneath much younger rock.
The study debunking the impact hypothesis was undertaken by geologist Chris Yakymchuk of the University of Waterloo, in Canada, and his colleagues.
'Our results conclusively rule out the proposal that much of the rock mass in the Maniitsoq region formed by an Archean meteorite impact,' the team wrote.
This, they added, 'leaves the 2.23 billion-year-old Yarrabubba structure in Western Australia as the oldest confirmed terrestrial impact structure.'
'The source craters for Archean-aged impact ejecta remain elusive on Earth.'
In their study, Professor Yakymchuk and his team combined mapping of geological outcrops in the field with rock dating and chemical analysis to get to the bottom of how the Maniitsoq structure was formed.
They found that the odd magnetic readings identified in the previous study do not persist over the wider area, as would be expected if this signature was formed by an impact event — and nor did magnetic scans reveal any circular impact structures.
The researchers analysed 5,587 grains of a mineral called zircon, looking for evidence of impact shock on their crystallographic structure.
'Zircon crystals in the rock are like little time capsules,' said Professor Yakymchuk.
'They preserve ancient damage caused by shockwaves you get from a meteorite impact. We found no such damage in them.'
The researchers analysed 5,587 grains of a mineral called zircon, looking for evidence of impact shock on their crystallographic structure — but found none. Pictured: a selection of zircon grains analysed by the researchers, as seen through a scanning electron microscope. The colours indicate the orientation of the crystal structure. Had the grains been subjected to a massive impact shock, this deformation would manifest as different colours in single grains
Moreover, analysis of a oxygen isotopes in zircons revealed no evidence that the rocks in the Maniitsoq structure were ever subject to an influx of hot seawater through impact-forged cracks, as had previously been proposed.
Had water altered the rocks in the area, they would have become enriched in a lighter isotope of oxygen that is relatively more common in seawater than rocks.
The team's investigation also revealed that some rocks that were claimed to have melted and reformed as a result of the high-energy impact were actually some 40 million years younger than previously thought.
Finally, the team found a swathe of rocks cross cutting the proposed impact site that were at least 100 million years younger but had also been subjected to burial, heat and deformation.
It would not be possible, the researchers explained, for these rocks and evidence for an ancient impact to co-exist together in the rock record — the latter would not survive such modification processes.
The study debunking the impact hypothesis was undertaken by geologist Chris Yakymchuk and colleagues. 'Our results conclusively rule out the proposal that much of the rock mass in the Maniitsoq region formed by an Archean meteorite impact,' the team wrote
'I try to keep an open mind about everything in science, especially until you see the rocks themselves,' Professor Yakymchuk told Massive Science.
However, he added, 'after seeing the rocks, it was kind of "Huh? These don't look that different from rocks I've seen elsewhere in the world."
'So either we missed impact structures everywhere on Earth or this wasn't one.'
'You have to take everything together and say, okay, what is the simplest explanation for all the features we see?' Professor Yakymchuk continued.
'And the simplest explanation is that this is not an impact,' he concluded.
If you look at the moon on a clear night through a pair of ordinary, hand-held binoculars, you'll see a multitude of meteorite craters.
Some are larger than 621 miles (1000 kilometres) in diameter and readily visible with the naked eye.
Through the first 500 million years of Solar System history, both the Moon and the Earth were constantly bombarded with a multitude of small and large meteorites and comets.
Some scientists even think that life was brought to the Earth by comets.
The Moon has preserved the remains of thousands of impacts, but on Earth only about 180 such impact structures are known, and most of them are very small, young and rapidly decaying.
Contrary to the Moon, the Earth is a dynamic planet with plate tectonics, mountain belts and erosion.
This means that most impact structures are eroded away, destroyed by mountain building processes or gradually buried by younger deposits over the course of geological time.

During fieldwork at the Archean Maniitsoq structure in Greenland, an international team of scientists led by the University of Waterloo’s Chris Yakymchuk found the features of this region are inconsistent with an impact crater. In 2012, a different team identified it as the remnant of a three-billion-year-old meteorite crater.

“Zircon crystals in the rock are like little time capsules,” said Yakymchuk, a professor in Waterloo’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. “They preserve ancient damage caused by shockwaves you get from a meteorite impact. We found no such damage in them.”
Additionally, there are multiple places where the rocks melted and recrystallized deep in the Earth. This process—called metamorphism—would occur almost instantaneously if produced from an impact. The Waterloo-led team found it happened 40 million years later than the earlier group proposed.
“We went there to explore the area for potential mineral exploration, and it was through close examination of the area and data collected since 2012 that we concluded the features are inconsistent with a meteorite impact,” Yakymchuk said. “While we were disappointed that we weren’t working in a structure that was the result of a meteorite hitting the planet three billion years ago, science is about advancing knowledge through discovery, and our understanding of the Earth’s ancient history continues to evolve. Our findings provide scientific data for resource companies and Greenlandic prospectors to find new mineral resources.”
Stirred not shaken; critical evaluation of a proposed Archean meteorite impact in West Greenland.

Date of sighting: March 11, 2021 Location of sighting: Bangkok, Thailand
This eyewitness was recording a helicopter flying over the neighborhood just at the right moment. A small black UFO sees the helicopter and shoots close to it, curving slightly, then shooting away before the helicopter pilots notice it. This is 100% typical behavior of alien drones. They are programed to find, investigate, record all data of flying technology. Flying technology is a priority for aliens to gather data on...because this allows them to accurately predict when humans will be capable of long distance space travel.
