Proxima Centauri shoots out humongous flare, with big implications for alien life
Proxima Centauri shoots out humongous flare, with big implications for alien life
The flare was around 100 times more powerful than those emitted by the sun.

Scientists have spotted one of the largest stellar flares ever recorded in our galaxy. The jets of plasma shot outward from the sun's nearest neighbor, the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri. The flare, which was around 100 times more powerful than any experienced in our solar system, could change the way scientists think about solar radiation and alien life.
Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf — the smallest, dimmest and most common type of main sequence stars in the galaxy — located approximately 4.25 light-years from Earth. Its mass is only one-eighth of the sun's, and it is orbited by two exoplanets. One of these planets, Proxima Centauri b, is considered to be Earth-like and lies within the star's habitable zone — the distance from a star that could support the development of life, according to the researchers.
In a new study, researchers used nine ground and orbital telescopes — including the Hubble Space Telescope, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite — to closely monitor Proxima Centauri for a total of 40 hours over several months in 2019. On May 1, 2019, the team captured the mega flare, which shone for just 7 seconds and was mainly visible in the ultraviolet spectrum.
"The star went from normal to 14,000 times brighter when seen in ultraviolet wavelengths over the span of a few seconds," lead author Meredith MacGregor, an astrophysicist at the University of Colorado Boulder, said in a statement.
The power of this flare and type of radiation it emitted could change what we know about red dwarfs and the chances of life developing on the planets that orbit them.
A humongous flare
Stellar flares are the result of a star's strong magnetic fields. These fields — which are created by large amounts of electrically charged gas — can get twisted together and suddenly snap back into place to release an enormous amount of energy in the form of radiation, kind of like firing an elastic band at someone with your fingers.
The flare on Proxima Centauri was extremely powerful compared with those emitted by the sun. Unlike flares from the sun, this one also emitted different kinds of radiation. In particular, it produced a huge surge of ultraviolet light and radio waves — known as "millimeter radiation."

"In the past, we didn't know that stars could flare in the millimeter range, so this is the first time we have gone looking for millimeter flares," MacGregor said in the statement.
This finding was possible only because the team monitored the star using such a wide variety of telescopes, each focused on a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
"It's the first time we've ever had this kind of multiwavelength coverage of a stellar flare," MacGregor said in the statement. "Usually, you're lucky if you can get two instruments."
The new findings suggest that stellar flares given off by red dwarfs are much more violent than previously expected and could reduce the likelihood of alien life developing around them.
Bad news for aliens
The type and amount of radiation given off by Proxima Centauri could make it very hard for life to survive on its orbiting exoplanets, which likely have no real atmosphere due to the powerful flares, according to the researchers. But it's not impossible for alien life to exist there.
"If there was life on the planet nearest to Proxima Centauri, it would have to look very different than anything on Earth," MacGregor said in the statement. "A human being on this planet would have a bad time."
Other red dwarfs likely give off equally powerful flares, thus decreasing the chances that red dwarf-hosted planets could support life. They also flare "much more frequently" than the sun, further reducing the chances of finding life in that star system, according to the researchers.
"Proxima Centauri's planets are getting hit by something like this not once in a century, but at least once a day, if not several times a day," MacGregor said in the statement.
The researchers now hope to use the wide variety of telescopes to focus on other stellar flares across our galaxy.
"There will probably be even more weird types of flares that demonstrate different types of physics that we haven't thought about before," MacGregor said in the statement.
Scientists detected one of the largest flares ever recorded in our galaxy and it came from our sun’s closest neighbor. A humongous flare erupted from Proxima Centauri and that could be bad news if there was any alien life near the star.
Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star that is located about 4.25 light-years away from us. It is quite small and dim, measuring in at just one-eighth of our sun’s mass. There are two planets orbiting the star that includes an Earth-like world called Proxima Centauri b that is located in the habitable zone which means it could possibly host life.
However, the gigantic stellar flare that was emitted from the star was approximately a hundred times more powerful than the ones from our sun. This could have had major repercussions if there was life on Proxima Centauri b.
Flares on Proxima Centauri are about a hundred times more powerful than the ones from our sun.
Scientists studied about 40 hours worth of information on the star based on data gathered in 2019 by nine ground and orbital telescopes that included the Hubble Space Telescope, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, and NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. The flare was detected on May 1, 2019 and lasted seven seconds. “The star went from normal to 14,000 times brighter when seen in ultraviolet wavelengths over the span of a few seconds,” explained Meredith MacGregor, who is an astrophysicist at the University of Colorado Boulder and the lead author of the study.
The flare contained a different type of radiation compared to our sun. It emitted a large amount of ultraviolet light and radio waves called “millimeter radiation”. In a statement, MacGregor went into further details, “In the past, we didn’t know that stars could flare in the millimeter range, so this is the first time we have gone looking for millimeter flares.”
The fact that they had so many different types of telescopes gathering data on the star definitely helped them as she stated, “It’s the first time we’ve ever had this kind of multiwavelength coverage of a stellar flare.”
A solar flare on our sun.
Since such a powerful flare was found emitting from a red dwarf star as well as the type of radiation, this could change the theory regarding exoplanets in their habitable zone. These flares would make it very hard for any type of life to survive on these planets and they probably wouldn’t have much of an atmosphere. Furthermore, these flares occur “much more frequently” than those emitted from our sun. “Proxima Centauri’s planets are getting hit by something like this not once in a century, but at least once a day, if not several times a day,” MacGregor said. And it’s quite probable that other red dwarfs emit the same types of flares which lowers the possibility of life thriving on planets close to them.
But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t some type of alien life on the exoplanet as MacGregor explained, “If there was life on the planet nearest to Proxima Centauri, it would have to look very different than anything on Earth.” “A human being on this planet would have a bad time.” The study was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Some UFO witnesses come with an impeccable pedigree, and really serve to bolster the claims that something weird is going on in our skies. When talking about a credible witness, the credentials of U.S. Senator Richard Brevard Russell, Jr. are beyond reproach. A politician from the state of Georgia, he served 38 years in the Senate, becoming one of its most powerful and influential members during his service from 1937 to 1963, and also served as the Governor of Georgia from 1931 to 1933, as well as chairman of the Armed Services Committee from 1951 to 1969, even seeking the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1952 unsuccessfully, and at the time of his death in 1971 he was one of the most senior and influential senators of all time. He would certainly seem to be an incredibly qualified witness, and he would have a UFO sighting that would be covered up and show that even the highest up can have such experiences.
In 1955, Russell was the chairman of the Armed Services Committee and was on a fact-finding trip through Russia along with his military aide Lt. Col. Hathaway and interpreter Ruben Efron. On October 4, 1955, they were travelling by train through the remote Transcaucasus region when Russell looked out the window and spotted two disc-shaped UFOs taking off from a spot near the tracks. He immediately called for his aide and interpreter, who also saw the strange sight. Col. Hathaway would later say of the incident:
I doubt if you are going to believe this, but we all saw it. Senator Russell was the first to see this flying disc we’ve been told for years that there isn’t such a thing, but all of us saw it. One disc ascended almost vertically, at a relatively slow speed, with its outer surface revolving slowly to the right, to an altitude of about 6000 feet, where its speed then increased sharply as it headed north. The second flying disc was seen performing the same actions about one minute later. The take-off area was about 1-2 miles south of the rail line.
U.S. Senator Richard Brevard Russell, Jr.
The three men reported the sighting to the U.S. Air Force, being interviewed by a Lieut. Col. Thomas Ryan, who was the air attaché at the U.S. embassy in Prague, Czechoslovakia, shortly after the incident, with Ryan saying, “The three observers were firmly convinced that they saw a genuine flying disc.” They were also interviewed by the CIA, who also interviewed a fourth unnamed witness whose name would be redacted, and who said the objects had a “slight dome” and a “white light” on top. The CIA found that the three witnesses described visibility as excellent during the encounter, that they had seen no sign of a trail or heard any discernible noise from the craft, which had a pinkish glow, and that the objects “rose vertically with the glow moving slowly around the perimeter in a clockwise direction, giving the appearance of a pinwheel.” The Air Force then went about putting it completely under wraps, as did the Russian government, and it was labelled top secret. Senator Russell also refused to go public with the matter, keeping tight-lipped about it all in the aftermath of the sighting. He refused to talk about it any further, and when approached by the Los Angeles Examiner’s Tom Towers Russell in 1956 he told him:
Permit me to acknowledge your letters relative to reports that have come to you regarding aerial objects seen in Europe last year. I received your letter, but I have discussed this matter with the affected agencies of the government, and they are of the opinion that it is not wise to publicize this matter at this time. I regret very much that I am unable to be of assistance to you.
It seems as if the whole affair was being subdued by the government, and it would all remain top secret until it got out into the open in 1985 when it was declassified after numerous Freedom of Information Act requests by Dr. Bruce Maccabee, of the Fund for UFO Research. Maccabee was very excited about the release of these documents, saying:
These long secret documents are of major importance because they show for the first time that one of the most powerful U.S. Senators witnessed and reported a UFO. Because they were no doubt advised not to talk. These documents provide startling new evidence that UFOs exist.
It is a curious case, in that the witness is so traditionally reliable, and the object was seen by others within his entourage, making it difficult to fully write off. There seems to be no reason why such a respectable politician would want to make up such a tale, and further making it curious are the efforts made to keep it all hush hush, prevent Russell from talking about it, and hide it from the public eye. What is the meaning of this encounter and what place does it have in the UFO phenomenon? There seems to be no further information, and it will probably remain another compelling, if ultimately frustrating account that we will never get to the bottom of.
During the course of the events that occurred in and around Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England in December 1980, rumors circulated suggesting that radar tapes were taken from the Royal Air Force Watton base by U.S. Air Force personnel, who wanted to examine the alleged UFO evidence and see what, exactly, the tapes showed. This part of the story began in January 1981 with a writer named Paul Begg. It turns out that Begg knew a serviceman who was aware of something of the UFO incidents. It wasn’t long before Jenny Randles was able to speak with this particular source. Not wanting to jeopardize the man’s career, Randles chose to refer to him as “David Potts.” It was Potts who was able to put the pieces together. Potts told Randles that it was on December 29 when the Americans turned up at RAF Watton. Jenny learned that they took not just the radar-based data, but even the logbook for the relevant time. There was a very strange facet to all of this: the U.S. agents openly stated to their Royal Air Force counterparts that they needed the material because a craft from another world had come down in Rendlesham Forest. And they had orders to secure and scrutinize whatever material was available. While there is no reason at all to think that Potts was lying, the fact is that U.S. intelligence operatives simply would not stroll into a U.K. military base and loudly spout off about a crashed UFO. That’s not how the military works. And it’s certainly not how secrets are kept.
Clearly, and obviously, the Americans were there to further sow the seeds of the UFO story that had been created to hide the truth of the December experiments. No doubt, they knew that those who worked at RAF Watton, and who had been told the story by their American colleagues, would have a hard time keeping quiet on a hot potato like that! And, as history has shown, David Potts did not stay quiet. He went on to become a significant figure in the radar-based angle of the story. While the more sensationalized RAF Watton story has never been vindicated, there is proof that the base was involved to some degree. For example, in October 1988 I was directly informed by Squadron Leader E.E. Webster of RAF Watton: “Our log book for the period does indeed say that a UFO was reported to us by RAF Bentwaters at 0325 GMT on 28 December 1980 but that is all the information we have.” There is, however, more to come. On October 2, 1983, the News of the World newspaper reported that, “The first sighting of the craft over England was recorded on a radar screen” at RAF Watton. The NOTW added that, “Radar operators followed the progress as it flew over the East Coast until it disappeared.”
Moving ahead, in July 2015 the BBC took a look at the radar-driven side of all this. They told their readers: “New evidence has been gathered to back up claims a UFO landed near a U.S. airbase in Suffolk, a former deputy commander has claimed. Col. Charles Halt told the BBC he saw unidentified objects at Rendlesham Forest in December 1980. He says he now has statements from radar operators at RAF Bentwaters and nearby Wattisham airfield that an unknown object was tracked at the time.” The BBC got to the heart of the matter, as it relates to radar. They quoted Charles Halt as saying: “I have confirmation that (Bentwaters radar operators) … saw the object go across their 60 mile (96km) scope in two or three seconds, thousands of miles an hour. He came back across their scope again, stopped near the water tower, they watched it and observed it go into the forest where we were,” said Col Halt. At Wattisham, they picked up what they called a ‘bogie’ and lost it near Rendlesham Forest. Whatever was there was clearly under intelligent control.”
As fascinating as all of the above sounds, I’m still of the opinion that the “crashed UFO” story that circulated in the wake of the Rendlesham affair (and at Royal Air Force Watton) was deliberately created to hide something more down to earth: a top secret military experiment. In the next part of the story, I’ll demonstrate how easy it would have been for the team that ran the experiment to have made it look like UFOs were being monitored by radar, when in reality, the whole thing was a brilliant ruse.
Browns’ Quarterback on Recent UFO Sighting: ‘It’s real. I saw it. I believe’
Browns’ Quarterback on Recent UFO Sighting: ‘It’s real. I saw it. I believe’
Baker Mayfield’s offseason activities have included lifting, running, getting a guaranteed $18 million, and a close encounter he won’t forget.
Mayfield doubled down on spotting a UFO last month in Texas when he was driving home from dinner with his wife, Emily, on March 4 in Austin when he tweeted about witnessing a UFO.
The Browns quarterback knows the truth is out there. No it wasn’t a hoax or a Progressive commercial. Mayfield’s early March UFO sighting wasn’t taken seriously by everyone from Tampa Buccaneers Tom Brady to Fox Sports Radio Host Colin Cowherd. Still, during a Zoom call with the Cleveland media on Monday, nothing has changed his mind.
“I’m a firm believer on UFOs and Sasquatch,’’ Mayfield said Monday on a Zoom call with reporters. “It’s real; I saw it. He’s glad the Navy finally confirmed some more pictures. “Now everybody doesn’t think I’m as crazy. I believe.’’
Mayfield said the mysterious event took place while he and his wife Emily were driving home and had the music going from dinner in Austin, Texas. Emily was in the passenger seat looking at her phone at the time, Mayfield said. It was nighttime, and everything is dark around when looking at the phone screen, Mayfield added.
The UFO was bright enough that it caught even his wife’s attention. They looked at each other and asked if either of them saw it. “Other people in that area confirmed, too.”
Mayfield described the UFO via Twitter as a very bright ball of light going straight down out of the sky towards Lake Travis.
The strange tale of our first interstellar visitor keeps getting weirder.
The first known visitor from interstellar space, 'Oumuamua, was likely a pancake-shaped chip off a Pluto-like world, researchers say.
These findings may shed light on the stuff a new class of planet, an exo-Pluto, is made of, scientists added.
Astronomers first detected the mysterious visitor named 1I/'Oumuamua — meaning 'scout' or 'messenger' in Hawaiian — in 2017. 'Oumuamua's speed and trajectory revealed it originated outside the solar system, making it the first known interstellar object.
The second known interstellar object, 2I/Borisov, was detected in 2019. Borisov was very clearly a comet, spewing out gases and possessing a composition much like comets long seen in the solar system.
An interstellar comet? Asteroid? Something else?

In a number of key ways, 'Oumuamua resembled a comet. For example, scientists could not explain its movements through space by the force of gravity alone. This suggested 'Oumuamua was jetting out gas from its sunlit side that was pushing it like a rocket, study co-author Steven Desch, an astrophysicist and planetary scientist at Arizona State University in Tempe, told Space.com.
However, if 'Oumuamua was a comet, it was unlike any previously seen in the solar system. It lacked any detectable escaping gas, unlike the big tails typically spotted streaming from comets. In addition, its shape — resembling either a cigar or a pancake — was unlike any known comet. Moreover, the rocket-like push seen from 'Oumuamua was stronger than what researchers expected from comets.
"Everybody is interested in aliens, and it was inevitable that this first object outside the solar system would make people think of aliens," Desch said in a statement. "But it's important in science not to jump to conclusions."
Now scientists find 'Oumuamua might not be a piece of alien technology, but a chip off a Pluto-like world.
A strange new object
Researchers speculated that 'Oumuamua was not made largely of water ice like known comets, but perhaps of other kinds of ices. They calculated how quickly such ices would sublimate — convert from a solid directly to a gas — as 'Oumuamua flew by the sun, and the rocket-like push it would get from these escaping gases.
The scientists also noted some ices are far more reflective than often assumed. If 'Oumuamua was made from these shiny ices, it might be smaller than previously estimated based on the light that astronomers detected from it. A tinier size for the interstellar visitor would mean any push from sublimating gases would have a larger effect than usually seen with comets, helping explain the unexpected speed with which it zipped away from the sun.
The researchers found one ice in particular — solid nitrogen — could explain all of 'Oumuamua's features and behavior. Solid nitrogen ice is seen on the surface of Pluto and Triton, suggesting this interstellar visitor could be made from the same material. "It was very satisfying to refine our calculations and see everything fall into place," Desch said.
Any nitrogen gas escaping from 'Oumuamua would have proven very difficult for astronomers to detect with the telescopes used to monitor it. "In essence, there was a tail like one would expect for a comet, it is just that because of what it is made of, we didn't detect it," study co-author Alan Jackson, an astrophysicist and planetary scientist at Arizona State University in Tempe, told Space.com.

These new findings suggest 'Oumuamua was shaped more like a pancake than a cigar. It may also be smaller than previously thought — just 147 by 144 by 24 feet (45 by 44 by 7.5 meters) in size when astronomers first detected it. In comparison, prior estimates suggested 'Oumuamua was about 1,300 feet (400 m) long.
The researchers suggested that 'Oumuamua likely wasn't flat when it first entered the solar system. However, the light from the sun ultimately eroded it to a sliver, wearing away more than 95% of its mass.
"The same thing should happen with water-ice comets, but at a much smaller level," Jackson said. Water ice sublimates much slower than nitrogen ice, Desch explained. In addition, Jackson noted 'Oumuamua may have stayed together as one piece as it sublimated because it was made all of the same material — in contrast, most comets in the solar system are mixtures of rock, water ice and other ingredients, "so they tend to evaporate unevenly. This is partly why comets often break up when they pass very close to the sun."
These findings suggest interstellar objects such as 'Oumuamua may give us our first view of a hitherto unknown type of planet — an exo-Pluto. All in all, 'Oumuamua may be the first known sample of an exoplanet brought into the solar system, the researchers said.
"The thought that what we saw could be a chunk of an actual exoplanet is thrilling," Desch said.
Piece of an exo-Pluto
Based on 'Oumuamua's speed and trajectory, the researchers suggested this fragment of nearly pure nitrogen ice was slung away from a young star system about 400 million to 500 million years ago, possibly from the Perseus arm of the Milky Way. When it comes to what to call this potentially new class of objects, Desch suggested exo-Pluto fragments or Pluto-like fragments, whereas Jackson suggested nitrogen-ice comets.
The scientists calculated the rate at which cosmic impacts would have knocked chunks of ice off the surfaces of Pluto and similar bodies over the course of the solar system's history. They estimated such collisions might have generated 100 trillion fragments, about half of which are water ice and the other half nitrogen ice. All in all, "about 1 in 1,000 comets in our solar system must be objects like 'Oumuamua," Desch said. One such example may be the comet C/2016 R2, discovered in 2016, he noted.
The researchers also calculated the chances that a nitrogen-ice comet from another star would reach our solar system. Their findings suggested "the outer reaches of a lot of planetary systems look very much like our own," Jackson said. "It is difficult to get information about the outer reaches of exoplanetary systems with the methods that we usually use to look for planets, so this gives us a unique way to get a sense of what exoplanetary systems are like."
Future telescopes such as the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile could help regularly scan huge swaths of the sky and detect even more interstellar objects to learn more about them. In addition, "there has also been some work on concepts for space missions that could intercept a future object like 'Oumuamua," Jackson said. "That to me is an incredibly exciting prospect — an up close look at something that originated from outside our solar system."
The scientists detailed their findings online March 16 in a study divided into two papers, which you can find here and here, in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, and at the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Conference.
FBI Met Aliens From Other Dimension In 1947, Who Just Wanted Peace With Humans
FBI Met Aliens From Other Dimension In 1947, Who Just Wanted Peace With Humans
The FBI has always paid great attention to the UFO phenomenon. By the way, this confirms the old suspicions: many science fiction films are actually based on real events, whether it’s leaked that the FBI purposely made to raise public awareness, or to recognize agents – existing or former – who consider it unfair to deprive the public knowledge opinion about these secrets.
Of course, one cannot believe that Edgar Hoover, a director of the FBI, during those events that we are talking about, was very worried about justice or respect for the right of society to know the facts.
Aliens From Other Dimension in 1947
He was the ultra-conservative and reactionary who thought differently. But the fact is that in 2011, it became known from the FBI’s The Vault page that the agency included in the category of declassified a report prepared in July 1947 by a special agent of the FBI. He was a lieutenant colonel, whose identity was in the interests of “national security” and, at the direction of the almighty Hoover, erased a report based on an interview with a witness of the appearance of a UFO. The witness shared his own experience of contact with a non-human mind and could tell quite a lot.
According to the report, among other species, we are visited by creatures not only from other planets but from other dimensions as well. In particular, they are from the etheric plane coexisting with our physical Universe, materialized entities appeared as translucent giants.
FBI secret document
Here is a transcript of some of the most important details of the report:
1. Part of the disks carry crews; others are under remote control
2. Their mission is peaceful. The visitors contemplate settling on this plane
3. These visitors are human-like but much larger in size
4. They are not excarnate Earth people but come from their own world
5. They do NOT come from a planet as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us
6. The bodies of the visitors, and the craft, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter
7. The disks posses a type of radiant energy or a ray, which will easily disintegrate any attacking ship. They reenter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without trace
8. The region from which they come is not the “astral plane”, but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas. Students of osoteric matters will understand these terms.
9. They probably can not be reached by radio, but probably can be by radar. if a signal system can be devised for that (apparatus)
Addendum:The Lokas are oval shape, fluted length oval with a heat-resistaning metal or alloy is not yet known the front cage contains the controls, the middle portion a laboratory; the rear contains armament, which consists essentially of a powerful energy apparatus, perhaps a ray.
The first thing that comes to mind when reading the document is that we are dealing with a story of a dreamer, but it should be borne in mind that this fact must have enough consecutive moments to initiate an investigation of the FBI, and this must be recognized when it comes to justifying financial injections and expenses of his resources.
The narrator further goes on to explain that these creatures use energy vectors to translate, which are interpreted as flying saucers. Their goal is peaceful, if one can consider peaceful the task that they transmitted (probably telepathically) to the witness: to stay living on this planet without disturbing us.
Although the UFO reports, as anyone who looks at the FBI can make sure, were then (as they are now) very common, we don’t know if such a specific description of “interdimensional aliens” was only in this report or there was some continuity further.
Let us note that the reports of 1947 were declassified in 2011. If there were subsequent or later additions to the investigation, they would be released, and their contents or results are not considered to be influential to “national security.”
If you see something, say something … or, if you’re a cow, moo really loud.
That’s how desperate law enforcement officials are feeling in Oregon – especially in Crook County in the center of the state – after months of mysterious cattle mutilations continue with no clues as to their causes. Skeptics are quick to debunk extraterrestrials as the cause and generally point to predators, while a growing number of people wonder if this is the work of a cult … in particular, the greatest cult of all time – the U.S. government. And yet … the mystery continues.
“There were no apparent animal or human tracks immediately surrounding the carcass, and only minimal blood in the area. I know from personal experience that, if an animal is killed or scavenged by predators, there is typically a large bloody messy area surrounding the carcass.”

Timothy Durheim is one of many local law enforcement officers to investigate a recent increase in cattle mutilations and he told the Blue Mountain Eagle the latest one he encountered at the McCormack Ranch on Southeast Bear Creek Road was like so many others reported — straight incisions, udder removed, circular cut around the anus, reproductive organs removed without puncturing the gut, left cheek, left eye and tongue removed, puncture wound between the neck and shoulder but bite marks … and no blood. Casey Thomas, manager of the GI Ranch on Lister Road in Paulina, two mutilations within a week. One was a Black Angus cow with hair removed near the stomach, all four teats cut off, left cheek, tongue and sex organs removed, and a mysterious prick mark. The second had a left cheek removed and a 2-inch patch cut into the hair on its neck. Photos were sent to Prineville veterinarian Taylor Karlin.
“I wish I had an answer. We’re kind of at a loss.”
Karlin told the Blue Mountain Eagle she is hoping for some fresh samples of flesh, hair, blood, etc. – anything she can analyze in a lab. While she’s at a loss, podcaster and skeptic Brian Dunning isn’t. He explained to the Blue Mountain Eagle:
“This is almost certainly the same kind of bird predation we’ve seen in so many similar cases.”
“Most particularly birds, and also some insects, will always go first for the exposed soft tissue: eyes, tongue, lips and mouth area, genitals. The animal is dead with zero blood pressure so there is never significant bleeding from postmortem wounds. The body is in the process of drying and decaying, so skin pulls tight from around the excised area, giving the impression of a perfect surgical cut.”
That sounds logical, although it would seem a cattle veterinarian would also know this and local vet Karlin doesn’t think these mutilations are natural. While Dunning debunks the aliens and religious cults causes, Nick Redfern points out that internal files show government interest in cattle and their diseases – particularly when suspected to have been caused by foreign biological agents – have been going on for decades, and the UFOs sometimes reported coming after the mutilations may be government black helicopters. Crook County Undersheriff James Savage, who has been involved in many of these cattle mutilation investigations, told Oregon Public Broadcasting he’s tired of it and wants answers and resolution … but he needs help.
What can we do?
“Don’t be afraid to call. If you see something, a suspicious vehicle or person in the area, also report it to us so we can try to run that down.”
On the warm summer evening of August 4, 1943, 18-year-old, Ronnie Austin had been having a great time. He had gone to a drive-in theater to catch a flick with his girlfriend Phyllis Bruce, and shortly before midnight they began their drive home in Wayne City, Illinois. As they drove, they noticed something very strange up ahead in the sky at about treetop level, which looked like a bright, round light with “fuzzy edges,” and estimated as being about “the size of a washtub.” They at first thought that it might be an aircraft, but whatever it was had no flashing lights and was perfectly round, leading them to suspect this was something else. They marveled at it for a few minutes, but the encounter would get stranger still when they noticed that the object seemed to be following them. And so would begin a wild high speed chase along rural country roads by a mysterious UFO.

The two noticed as they drove by that the mysterious light seemed to approach to keep pace with them, speeding up or slowing down when they did, and when they brought the car to a full stop the light also stopped to hover there with inscrutable intent. Austin decided to just try to ignore it and drive home as quickly as possible, but the object would allegedly follow them the whole way, always keeping the same distance from the vehicle and at one point crossing from one side of the car over to the other. They tried to convince themselves that this was just a coincidence and some sort of illusion, but this would be disproven when the object suddenly approached at great speed to hover a few hundred feet away, before pausing over an electronic relay tower and then taking up a position about 500 feet away from the car and its increasingly frightened occupants.
Austin kept driving, pulling onto the lonely gravel road that led to Phyllis’ home, and when they reached the house, her sister also came outside to witness the anomalous object. The three of them watched the light for a few minutes before the two spooked girls went inside after the thing got closer, and Austin decided to get out of there, setting out in his car for the trip home. The object then continued to follow him, along the way making several threatening displays and increasingly aggressive maneuvers, such as speeding over the car, cutting him off, and changing color from a bright white to a more ominous darker orange glow. At one point the object shot off to hover over a barn about a mile away, before speeding back, and by this time Austin was really gunning it down the dark road, later estimating that he had been going about 120 mph, but the object easily paced him and did circling maneuvers and passes around him, causing the radio to crackle with static and make a “whining sound” whenever it passed overhead, as well as causing his engine to sputter. The thing got so close that Austin could now see that it was about the size of a small car. It continued to make these threatening displays all the way to Austin’s house, where he stopped and ran inside like his life depended on it, which for all he knew, it did. In the meantime, the mysterious light took up a position over a nearby farmhouse around 300 yards away and hovered silently.
Austin rushed into the home and woke his parents, sister, and brother, and they all saw the object as well through the window, the whole thing spooky enough that his father even grabbed a shotgun for good measure. They noticed that when they turned the lights on, the thing would begin to move towards the home, but when the lights were turned off it returned to its position above the nearby barn, suggesting it was attracted somehow to the light. They called the police in a panic, and when officers showed up, they also saw the strange light, as did several neighbors who had come outside to see what all of the fuss was about. As they all looked on, the object would then begin ascending upwards into the sky until it was out of sight. The event soon made the press and attracted the attention of UFO investigators, with the researchers from the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) arriving the following day to interview the many witnesses, and they were interviewed by several news sources as well, and there was an Air Force team who arrived on the scene as well, consisting of Lt. Col. Robert J. Friend, then the Director of Project Blue Book; Capt. Hector Quintanilla, and Sgt. Charles R. Sharp. Readings were taken of the car, the results of which have never been released, and oddly Austin was instructed to wash it right away, while they “decontaminated” the interior, all while they tried to dismiss talk of UFOs and try to explain it all away. The presence of the Air Force was curious, and NICAP investigator Francis Ridge would say of it:
The AF must have considered this case important. They had flown in the special team of physicists from Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio. Normally, when investigating a case, they would send the local “UFO officer” from the nearest airbase. In this case it would have been Scott AFB at Belleville, Illinois (near St. Louis). Something strange was going on in the Midwest, and AF Intelligence was interested in something that “didn’t exist.” A quick check would have eliminated a refueling operation and the need for an onsite.

What in the world was going on here? With around a dozen witnesses including police officers it certainly seems that something weird was going on, but what? Why would this object want to so aggressively toy with this young man in his car? What did it want? Interestingly, this incident coincided with a spate of UFO sightings around Illinois at the time, so did this have perhaps some part to play? Whatever the answers may be, it is a curious little incident that can be added to the pile of the many bizarre UFO encounters out there.
New Information on the Kalahari Desert Asteroid Impact
Lunar meteorite Kalahari 008. Impacts on the Moon can eject lunar material, which may then fall to the Earth. Kalahari 008 is an approximately 600g meteorite from the Moon that was collected in 1999 in the Kalahari Desert, Botswana.
On June 2, 2018, residents in Botswana were shocked to see a huge fireball explode in the sky. In fact, the white glow of the asteroid exploding in the air was so bright that it was about 20,000 times brighter than the full moon. Researchers went to the Kalahari Desert to look for pieces of the asteroid and they found 23 fragments.
A team of experts located a fragment of the asteroid 2018 LA in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in the southern African nation of Botswana. The asteroid fell from space on June 2, 2018, and the team found this fragment three weeks later on June 23.

Interestingly, the asteroid – which has been named 2018 LA – was spotted by the University of Arizona’s Catalina Sky Survey team approximately eight hours before it reached our planet but since it was only six feet across, they didn’t think it was dangerous so they didn’t alert anybody.
And now, almost three years later, scientists have revealed more information regarding the 2018 LA asteroid – more specifically, its 22-million-year journey to Earth. First of all, the asteroid, which weighed approximately 5.7 tons, exploded 27 kilometers above the ground (17 miles) while traveling at a speed of about 60,000 km/h (just over 37,000 mph).
Scientists were able to precisely map out the journey the asteroid took through space – this is the first time it’s ever been done. “I could hardly believe my eyes when I came upon an object that appeared to be moving across images taken by SkyMapper,” said astronomer Christopher Onken. SkyMapper is a 1.35-meter wide-field survey telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory in New South Wales.
They were able to pinpoint its origins to the second biggest asteroid in our Solar System named 4 Vesta. This asteroid, which has a diameter of approximately 525 kilometers (326 miles), is occasionally “…bright enough to be sometimes visible to the unaided eye,” Dr. Onken noted.
It is believed that around 22 million years ago, 2018 LA broke off of 4 Vesta because of a massive impact with another asteroid that made Vesta’s Veneneia basin. Astronomer Hadrien Devillepoix went into further details, “Analysis of the meteorites from 2018LA indicate it was deeply buried under the surface of Vesta prior to being ejected all those years ago.” After it broke off from the larger body, it began its 22-million-year journey towards Earth, ending up in the Kalahari Desert.

After the fragments of 2018 LA were found, they were analyzed and experts found zircon grains that date back over 4.5 billion years. This means that the asteroid dates back to when our Solar System was first forming. Pictures of the 2018 LA fragments can be seen here.
De NASA-helikopter Ingenuity heeft voor de derde keer een vlucht gemaakt op Mars en die was opnieuw succesvol. Marsrover Perseverance heeft beelden doorgestuurd naar de aarde.
Ingenuity bewoog zich verder en sneller dan tijdens zijn vorige uitstapjes. Hij legde in totaal 50 meter af in 1 minuut en 20 seconden en bereikte een maximumsnelheid van twee meter per seconde of 7,2 kilometer per uur. “De vlucht van vandaag verliep zoals gepland, maar dat maakt hem niet minder ongelofelijk”, zegt Dave Lavery, programmamanager van het NASA-hoofdkantoor in Washington.
Perseverance, die de kleine helikopter van 1,8 kilogram aan boord had toen hij op Mars arriveerde, maakte beelden van de derde vlucht. Daarop is te zien hoe Ingenuity links in beeld opstijgt en zijdelings naar rechts wegvliegt tot hij verdwijnt. Even later vliegt hij weer het beeld in en landt hij op dezelfde plaats als waar hij even daarvoor vertrokken was. De komende dagen zullen nog meer beelden naar de aarde worden gestuurd.

Vierde vlucht
Het ruimteagentschap kondigde intussen al de voorbereiding aan van een vierde vlucht. De vluchten zullen naar verwachting steeds moeilijker worden en Ingenuity tot het uiterste drijven.
Hoe die vluchten ook aflopen, na hooguit een maand stopt het Ingenuity-experiment. Dan zal de Perseverance-rover zich wijden aan zijn hoofdtaak: het zoeken naar sporen van vroeger leven op Mars.

Possible Cryptid "Nightcrawler" Appears On Highway Near Sydney
Possible Cryptid "Nightcrawler" Appears On Highway Near Sydney
Mitch Kuhne was driving back to the Gold Coast along the Hume Highway near Bardia, Sydney just before 8pm on Sunday when he claims to have spotted a small child standing on the road.
Mr Kuhne reported and claims he was later told by an officer that the child had been found but police have since said that while a search was conducted no child was discovered in the area.
When we take a closer look at the "ghost" child then the shape of the figure resembles that of the so-called Nightcrawlers.
These peculiar creatures drift eerily through the night, leaving many wondering if their origins are earthly or extraterrestrial.
According to Native American folklore, these creatures, strange upright standing thin creatures with no arms, have existed for hundreds of years and have lived along-side humans peacefully.
Despite there is very little evidence to prove that these so-called Nightcrawlers are real undiscovered cryptids, in 2011, there have been multiple CCTV camera sightings of strange upright standing thin creatures with no arms walking endlessly at night.
The first appearance of a Nightcrawler took place in Fresno, California and the second appearance took place in Yosemite National Park.
The Scientific Coalition for UAP, which is composed of a team of analysts focusing on unidentified aerial phenomena, has examined thermal, visual and sensor data showing the unidentified flying object hurtling through the sky then skimming through the water and splitting into two.
There have been theories on the phenomenon, with some speculating a Chinese lantern and others saying a Mylar balloon. However, Rich Hoffman, a co-founder of SCU, says none of these ideas could be proven. The team at SCU has been working their best to find an explanation and testing these theories but has come up with nothing.
They looked to see if there was any propulsion system but found nothing. They then consider the balloon theory, but the object’s thermal did not match a balloon. Additionally, the object in question has split.
They then looked into the possibility it could be a bird, but the thermal result also did not match that of a bird. Also, the bird would not split into two identical pieces.
In Search of Varginha’s UFO – “Aliens” in the Amazon or Collective Insanity?
In Search of Varginha’s UFO – “Aliens” in the Amazon or Collective Insanity?
Today we are going to review one of the most famous UFO files in all of Brazil , the Varginha Incident . Celebrated as the Amazonian Roswell , the event that occurred in 1996 continues to divide the world ufological community. Let’s get the facts.
Year 1996. UFO Invasion in the Amazon
“Varginha, January 20, 1996. It would be a normal day in the quiet city of 100,000 inhabitants south of Minas, but the report of three girls changed everything. They said they saw a strange, short, red-eyed creature that did not appear to be from this world. Overnight, investigators and countless witnesses started talking about the ‘Varginha ET. Samantha Silva and Régis Melo. Varginha’s ET: case turns 20 with mysteries and uncertainties , 2016.
In January 1996 the municipality of Varginha , located in the southwest of the state of Minas Gerais , witnessed an unusual event.
According to reports from the time, on 20 January of 1996 at 15:30 hours, residents of the area complained, the collision of unknown flying objects, and subsequent recovery of two occupants, kidnapped, as was rumored, by military personnel. The news shocked Brazil , being covered by countless media.
The case from its inception was surrounded by much controversy, especially due to government silence, which did its best to discourage any investigation. But the attention remained, and 25 years later, what happened in Varginha , continues to generate furious counterpoints. The truth is, unlike other incidents, Varginha has many witnesses, both local and military, who even today defend their positions on what happened so many years ago. Let’s get back to the case.
Perhaps one of the most astonishing testimonies is that provided by three witnesses, young women who claimed to observe an alien presence.
Those beings were baptized as the Etzinhos , according to the newspaper La Tercera, in its article, ” Varghina case: two decades for the Brazilian Roswell” :
“One meter tall, red eyes, shiny brown skin. They had three bumps on their forehead, a very small mouth-like opening, bulging veins on their neck, shoulders, and arms. They produced a strange sound as if they were bees, and they had very thin bodies ”.
In another paragraph it stands out:
“Another important event within this experience was that several inhabitants of Varginha witnessed the presence of a strange flying sphere on January 22, 22 and 23, who even said that it gave them the impression of acting like a mother looking for to his children. In those same days they caught the two beings and transferred them to the state of Sao Paulo for their examination and study ”.
In 1995 the world was shaken, when a supposed short film was revealed, showing the autopsy performed on an alien recovered in Roswell. A week before the event, an aviation pilot Carlos de Souza , while flying in the interior of Minas Gerais , claimed to observe a huge ship-like object. In the book published by ufologist Ubirajara Rodrigues , O Caso Varginha , 2001 , Souza delivers a shocking version, stating that he saw the ship crash somewhere between Varginha and Três Corações .
Writes Ubirajara Rodrigues :
“He went into a side road to see if he was (and helped) in the crash of what appeared to be an aircraft. Once there, he was surprised to see that the Army and the Military Police were already surrounding the remains of that indefinable object. Gray chunks of what looked like metal were scattered across the ground. He saw no victims. Some time later, one of the soldiers brusquely invited him to leave the scene. He shouldn’t say anything about what he had seen. “
His testimony coincides with the version given by the Freitas couple , both residents asserting that they observe a gigantic steel-gray ship, which silently glides, surrounded by a lot of smoke, as if it were going to crash.
Other mind-boggling facts point to a strange storm shaking Varginha , and the reported existence of a toxic scent that is even noted as the cause of death for animals, and even a soldier.
The matter suffered heavy censorship, and many wondered if Varginha was just the product of a collective psychosis. Let’s see.
Alien autopsy, and the shadow of Roswell
In August 1985, the ufological world was amazed at the irruption of a strange short film, denouncing the recreation of a supposed alien autopsy. The film was said to show the body recovered from a ship crashed in Roswell during 1947 . Although the controversy would later erupt, revealing a monumental fraud, the media explosion was unstoppable, re-staging the extraterrestrial discussion . It is curious that the film appeared two years before, the forty-seventh birthday of the events that occurred in Roswell.
Many ufologists felt the infamous images presented by Ray Santilli , a mentor of its commercialization, influenced in trying to dirty the case, seeking to ridicule it.
The US military breathed a sigh of relief, and later issued a statement, denying their involvement in some kind of cover-up, and making it clear, Roswell, was part of a popular myth. It had never happened.
When the Varginha file is studied , we see certain parallels with what is narrated here. It is undeniable that the Autopsy of Roswell , generated an impact on the public imagination difficult to assess. Many critics argue, Varginha’s birth is intertwined with the Roswell case .
And as I say the intricacies is disturbing. But as we will see next, the answers are not so easy. Let’s examine a few points.
Varginha case , and the mystery of NORAD
“The memorable event occurred on the night of January 19-20, 1996 in the vicinity of the small Brazilian town of Varginha. On the night in question, the CINDACTA air surveillance center received radar data on a flying object from American colleagues at NORAD. The North Americans identified the southern zone of the state of Minas Gerais as the point of impact ”. Andreas. UFO crash in Brazil: Roswell incident, 2017.
Those of us who live in South America know about the relationships, sometimes close, sometimes complex, that the United States has with the countries of the region. In the case of Brazil , this link is long-standing, established during the Second World War .
That is why it is not easy to decipher, Brazil plays a key role as an ally, maintaining close communication with the United States , especially with regard to military cooperation between the two countries. This brief reference allows us to understand certain aspects that will now be analyzed.
It happens while I deepen Varginha , highlights as the first spicy data, the mention of NORAD , ( North American Aerospace Defense Command ). This body was created in 1958, during the Cold War , with the objective of providing surveillance to North American airspace, especially with regard to ballistic missiles. NORAD currently focuses its operations on combating drug trafficking. Its base is in the Cheyenne Mountains , Colorado . One of the most iconic films of the eighties, War Games , was filmed there .
Well, regarding Varginha , we are told at dawn on January 20, 1996, NORAD alerted the Brazilian Air Force through the CINDACTA ( Integrated Center for Air Defense and Air Navigation Control ) , that unknown objects were penetrating the southwestern region of Minas Gerais . The data provided by NORAD , would have had SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) as emitter, station located in New Mexico . Once notified, the Brazilian military would have deployed F17 fighters, and V2 bombers , which took off from their air bases, on patrol mission.
In this report we are discussing unofficially, some researchers speculate, parallel to the movements carried forward by his counterpart from Brazil , the United States would be sent to the South American country, a specialized team, nothing less Boinas Verdes .
The story continues, with alien bodies recovered from the Varginha crash , evidence later transferred to the United States . When questioned any Brazilian military , he will emphatically deny any point of this story, arguing confusion, exaggeration, and fraud in its construction. It is also interesting to note, until a few years ago, these same soldiers denied having UFO records in their files.
However, in 2017 , there was a small declassification, and to greater surprise, a report of a sighting recorded in Varginha appeared , dated from 1971 . There it is said an oval silver-colored object was sighted by a multitude of witnesses that includes among others, military personnel. The UFO would have been parked on the roof of a house, emitting a loud noise, causing the resident to faint. He was also reported, prowling the facilities of the School of Sergeants of Arms , an Army unit in Três Corações ( Minas Gerais) , a municipality near Varginha that is 287 km from Belo Horizonte.
UNICAMP. Small Area 51 of Brazil?
“In the second semester of 1996, Dr. Badan, after giving a lecture at a law school in Campinas, was interrogated by a student with the question:“ Is it true that they did an autopsy on the creatures captured in Varginha? ? ”. To which the doctor replied: “If this question were asked in a few years, perhaps he could answer it with greater freedom and precision.”
Clauder Covo. The First Anniversary of the Varginha Case , 1997.
In another twist of the case, there is the presumption that a being from another world was the subject of an autopsy, after being captured in Varginha . The popular UNICAMP ( Campinas State University ) study center, based in São Paulo , is mentioned as the site that received the body of the space creature. Information widely rejected by the prestigious academic house, founded in 1966, focused on promoting science and technology.
Unicamp Central Library. (Wikimedia Commons) According to rumors, in a sector of the university campus an underground laboratory would operate, nicknamed, Pavilion 18 where extraterrestrial life would be studied. All the occupants of the UFOs, living or dead rescued in Brazil , would be taken there.
The ufologist Ricardo Roehe , maintains that its construction underground prevents the received aliens from being able to communicate telepathically with other companions, as well as controlling their mental powers. Apparently the United States would use it as a parallel center, to also conduct its own studies of captured UFO occupants.

THE FUTURE OF EARTH IS 5 OTHER PLANETS
THE FUTURE OF EARTH IS 5 OTHER PLANETS
And one bonus prize.
SO YOU’VE GONE AND DESTROYED THE PLANET YOU CALLED HOME.
It was inevitable. Climate change reached the tipping point. Famine and disease ravaged humanity. A noxious information ecosystem sent society into a conspiracy-fuelled death cycle. To survive, we gotta get out of Dodge.
To crib from Blade Runner,a new life awaits on off-world colonies. Maybe your fresh start is in Elon Musk’s Mars city. Maybe it is on the Moon with NASA’s lunar base. Or maybe a Zefram Cochrane-like figure has invented faster-than-light travel. Or, well, near-light speed travel if we are really patient. Who needs the Solar System if we don’t have Earth, am I right?
You’ve got one ticket off Earth. Where do you go? There are a few possible planets we can go to and some are definitely better than others. There’s surviving — where we can make it work with a lot of sacrifices, but it won’t be easy — and then there’s thriving: finding a truly new home for humanity instead of a stopgap.
Here’s a guide to going off-world. At the end of the day, it will make you appreciate Earth.
Welcome to FUTURE EARTH, where Inverse forecasts 100 years of possibilities, challenges, and who will lead the way.
We know, we know. Venus. Some might say it is toxic, hot, and inhospitable. And they are right. But Mars is deadly too, albeit in the opposite direction. Just as Venus is extremely hot, Mars is frigid cold. Venus has a thick, poisonous atmosphere, but Mars has a paper-thin one. Mars has all that radiation exposure to boot, which doesn’t sound that nice.
For Empire Strikes Back fans irresistibly drawn to the idea of living in a Cloud City, NASA has a plan. Storm IV Twin-Pod cloud car not included. Meet HAVOC — or the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept. HAVOC is basically a blimp and a fleet of other buoyant vehicles designed to explore Venus with humans on board.
“VENUS... CAN PLAY A ROLE IN HUMANITY’S FUTURE IN SPACE.”
The truly inhospitable region of Venus lies far below, near, and at the surface. About 30 miles above the surface, temperatures are actually Earth-like. At this altitude, atmospheric pressure is also similar to Earth at sea level. There’s also similar radiation protection at that level. The air isn’t breathable, but the other factors mean spacesuits for venturing outside — like on an observation deck — wouldn’t be overly bulky affairs. HAVOC is still on the drawing board, but the preliminary design calls for a craft that would allow two astronauts to live on Venus for 30 days. Or above it, at least.
The paper introducing HAVOC as a concept reveals ambitions for the world. HAVOC phase I is to send robots to Venus’ clouds. Phases II through IV are composed of increasingly ambitious human missions of increasingly long stays. The goal for Phase V? Permanent human habitation of a Venus cloud city.
“Ultimately, the authors conclude that Venus, with its relatively hospitable upper atmosphere, can play a role in humanity’s future in space,” the authors write in the paper.
Who are we to argue?
The Inverse analysis: Steampunk fans may love living on an airship, and Earth-like pressure at high altitudes could make for less clunky spacesuits. But one small failure could spell major doom for would-be Venusians.
“There are three reasons underlying the case for Mars,” Robert Zubrin tells Inverse. “For the science, for the challenge, and for the future.” Zubrin should know — he is the founder of the Mars Society, which advocates for moving humans to Mars as soon as possible.
To understand Zubrin’s passion for the Red Planet, let’s break those three elements down — the science, the challenge, and the future. The science refers to the question we could soon answer: if there was life on Mars. If there islife on Mars, even. The challenge is a throwback to the space race that led to Apollo, and a sort of knock-on effect that draws more dreamers to the sciences. The future is the idea of humanity staking a permanent future off-Earth.
Zubrin says has all the resources we need, if we can harness them correctly:
Water: while surface water is only found seasonally and in small amounts laden with toxins, recent discoveries could make potable water possible by looking underground
Soil: The soil of Mars is laden with iron and nasty salts, but experiments with growing crops in Mars-like soil have found some success.
Lava tubes: Rather than building expensive structures or risking inflatable habitats, a la The Martian, a series of caves on Mars built by long-dormant volcanoes could create a radiation-shielded environment. Just add oxygen.
Humanity’s transition to Mars is inevitable, as far as Zubrin is concerned. It will happen in four phases, he says: exploration is the first step before we set up a Mars base, which we can springboard into cities somewhere in between Musk and Total Recall, and from there, entire societies can flourish. Zubrin doesn’t see human movement on Mars as monolithic. Like Earth, different groups will settle in, and pursue different values and goals. The planet will bring them new opportunities to practice the forms of governance and beliefs they wish they could on Earth, he says.
Ultimately, Mars offers a chance for renewal and a clean slate. And it is a mere six-month flight away. Deliverance has never been so handy.
“THE GOAL IS THE STARS.”
The resources of Mars could also be a launching pad for further exploration, Zubrin says. Methane and water on the planet can be used to create rocket fuel. After Mars, the next jump is the asteroid belt. And after that?
“The goal is the stars,” Zubrin says. “As humans become spacefarers, we’re going to learn a lot more about the stars, about the planets orbiting the stars.”
What if there’s already life on Mars, and it is still alive? Zubrin says that most of the arguments for current life on Mars are easily refuted, so humanity can rest easy there. One of the biggest criticisms of potential human settlements on Mars is the idea of cross-contamination: Either that humans will incidentally kill off whatever life there is on the Red Planet, or conversely, that that life could threaten us instead.
But one way we know about the conditions on Mars is because chunks of it frequently fall to Earth, products of impacts ejected across interplanetary distances. “The issue of back contamination which is the one that gets the biggest headlines is nonsense,” Zubrin says. “We’ve been getting materials from Earth every year for four billion years.”
Carl Sagan once said, "If there is life on Mars, I believe we should do nothing with Mars. Mars then belongs to the Martians, even if they are only microbes." But Zubrin calls this an “aesthetic issue.” He says, for instance, that on Earth, we happily murder microbes all day, every day — mouthwash, antibiotics, household cleaners — our poisons are as varied as they are effective. And yet, we don’t regard these acts of destruction on our own planet as an ethical issue. “I think that Sagan got carried away in a poetic fit when he made that statement,” Zubrin says.
“The idea that an entire planet — the whole potential of a new biosphere of not only people but of an entire assortment of wonderful plants and animals that could grow in flourish on Mars — should be abluted because there are microbes on Mars is absurd and I would say unethical to say that people should not exist on Mars so that it can be safe for microbes.”
The Inverse analysis: Despite sub-Antarctic temperatures, space radiation, and other hazards at least there’s terra firma (martis ferma?) to stand on and a gateway to the rest of the Solar System and points beyond. Just hope nothing goes wrong.
When it comes to planets in the solar system to use as humanity’s ark, the pickings are slim. We’ve got Mars. We’ve (sort of) got Venus. Beyond that, the only terrestrial planet left — Mercury — is too hot on one side and absolutely frigid on the other. It’s also notoriously hard to get to thanks to the gravity of the Sun. Jupiter’s out — we would fry in a bath of radiation. The other gas planets aren’t hospitable either.
So maybe we just build a generation ship or pray for a warp drive and punt ourselves a star system over. And where better to aim than Proxima Centauri?
Abel Mendez is the director of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory (PHL) at the University of Puerto Rico Arecibo. Mendez has maintained the Habitable Exoplanets Catalog for 10 years. At the time the catalog began, the number of potentially habitable exoplanets was scant: Back then, it was made up of just Gliese 667 C f, and the contentious and ever-evolving planets in the Gliese 581 system. (Gliese, in this case, refers to a star catalog — while the stars are 20 and 23 light-years away from Earth, respectively, they’re not close to each other.)
Since then, the number has beefed up to 60 potentially habitable worlds if we’re lucky, or 24 if we’re being realistic. Mendez uses a rubric to rate these worlds using a few factors:
Are they close enough to their star to be warm, but not too hot, or too cold? This would mean water could exist in its liquid state.
Are they somewhere in between Mars and an Earth-and-a-half in radius? This would probably place them close to Earth-mass, and thus likely rocky.
If we don’t know the radius, are they less than five times the mass of Earth? This would again make for a planet that, at the upper limit, would be a very heavy but still rocky planet, rather than a gaseous mini-Neptune.
Of the 4,375 known exoplanets (as of April 16, 2021, according to NASA), this rubric means only 24 of them are potentially habitable. But the right size and distance are only two of the things we need for habitability in reality. Beyond these traits, we don’t have much other information to go on.
This is why Mendez says if we had to go somewhere beyond the Solar System, we should go somewhere close.
“Otherwise we cannot tell, but assuming that information there is right … I think the planets I would prefer to visit are the nearby ones,” he says. And there’s no habitable planet closer than Proxima Centauri b.
Alpha Centauri A and B are pretty well known. They’re the closest stars the size of the Sun to Earth. But they aren’t quite the closest star. The two stars orbit each other. But about .12 light-years out — around 7600 times the distance of the Sun to Earth — they have a faint companion. Alpha Centauri A and B have been known since antiquity and known to be two separate stars since 1689. Their companion, Proxima Centauri, is so small and faint that it wasn’t discovered until 1915.
“I THINK THE PLANETS I WOULD PREFER TO VISIT ARE THE NEARBY ONES.”
And while the Alphas Centauri are 4.37 light-years from Earth, that smidge of difference in distance puts Proxima Centauri just a fraction closer to Earth.
We’ve looked time and time again for planets around one of the Alphas Centauri, usually coming up short. But in 2016, astronomers working as part of the Pale Red Dot project used decades of data on Proxima Centauri to draw out the existence of a possible planet, Proxima Centauri b. This planet is likely around the mass of Earth, and orbits in a tight 11-day loop around its star.
While such a close orbit sounds like a recipe for disaster — Mercury, after all, orbits the Sun in 88 days — the small size and mass of Proxima Centauri and its lower temperatures mean that the planet could be habitable, under the right conditions. The star Proxima Centauri is only 20 percent larger than Jupiter and is just 12 percent the mass of the Sun. It’s classified as a red dwarf, also called an M-dwarf star. These stars are the least massive and most common types of stars in the universe. Not surprisingly, many of the planets on PHL’s index are M-dwarf stars. Only three are not.
But — and there’s always a but — that doesn’t mean Proxima Centauri b is much like Earth. With that close an orbit, the planet faces the same side of the star at all times, the same way we only see one face of the Moon. This process is called tidal locking, and it is part of why Mercury is so inhospitable.
“I think that most of these planets are probably tidally locked because there are around M-dwarf stars, and even if they have an atmosphere, water will be locked as ice on the dark side, and the dayside will be a desert,” Mendez says.
But in between the two sides is a little sliver of liminal space that’s neither day nor night — a place of perpetual twilight. That’s where liquid water might exist, and life might flourish.
There’s also the problem of atmospheres. Red dwarfs are small stars, but early in their history, they thrash around violently with flares — which can blow away the primordial atmospheres of planets out into the cosmos. So we have to hope that Proxima Centauri b was able to regrow an atmosphere and that it’s something like Earth, and not, say, Venus or Mars.
The Inverse analysis:It’s close and in the right place to have life, but a lack of known details and a potentially hazardous star mean we shouldn’t go quite yet.
In 2015, Belgian astronomers working on the Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST) project announced a new star, dubbed (entirely by coincidence and not for promotion reasons, we are sure) TRAPPIST-1.
It’s small — about the size of Jupiter — and less massive even than Proxima Centauri. In fact, at 8.9 percent the mass of the Sun, it’s barely over the threshold of having enough mass to ignite. TRAPPIST-1 wasn’t alone — the astronomers announced three Earth-sized planets in orbit. And all three are potentially habitable.
It was big news at the time. Three worlds a sneeze of a distance apart, all temperate enough to hold water, all around a fairly calm, tiny star. But subsequent studies pulled a real “hold my beer” and hit us with four more planets in orbit around TRAPPIST-1. All of them were close enough to be temperate too. Tiny but mighty, indeed.
Suddenly, we have a very tantalizing system on our hands. The PHL index lists TRAPPIST-1d as the likeliest of all of them to have Earth-like conditions. But it’s not a one-one comparison. The planet is thought to be somewhere in between Mars and Earth in size. It’s got an Earth-like amount of radiation from its star and thus, likely, similar temperatures, too.
So let’s go there!
Or not. It might be just a little too hot, according to a 2018 study. "We are modeling unfamiliar atmospheres, not just assuming that the things we see in the solar system will look the same way around another star," a statement from the authors reads. In short, they say TRAPPIST-1d may be more Venus-like than we might like for habitability.
They also argue:
TRAPPIST-1b may be far, far too hot — maybe even too hot for an atmosphere at all.
TRAPPIST-1c and TRAPPIST-1d have thick atmospheres which create intense greenhouse effects.
TRAPPIST-1f, TRAPPIST-1g, and TRAPPIST-1h might be too icy.
They conclude that TRAPPIST-1e may be the real world we should look to. The answer isn’t definitive though. And we likely won’t know anything until we can get a close look at the system via next-generation telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope.
“IF ONE PLANET DOESN’T WORK, YOU JUST MOVE TO ANOTHER PLANET.”
But if we go to TRAPPIST-1 and any one planet isn’t quite right, we could just jump to the next one — most of them are less than a million miles apart. If we don’t like TRAPPIST-1d, then TRAPPIST-1e is a mere 650,000-mile journey. Earth is 238,000 miles from the Moon. It took three days for Apollo astronauts to get to the Moon.
It’s not the six-month trip to Mars humans would experience — it’d be more like an extended business trip.
“You have seven planets, some in the habitable zone,” Mendez says. “You have in one system everything possible, and multiple planets with those conditions, hot or cold.”
The term Goldilocks Zone is sometimes used in place of the habitable zone. Not too hot, not too cold, just right. But TRAPPIST-1 plays with that by making for a Goldilocks system where, in a few days, we can make our way in between the planets. Even the farthest out of the planets is only 1,400,000 miles from its home star.
“If one planet doesn’t work, you just move to another planet,” Mendez says.
And what’s more, it’s only 40 light-years away. Sure, that’s 10 times the distance of Earth to Proxima Centauri. And sure, even going half the speed of light makes for an 80-year one-way trip. But can you really put a price on the future of humanity?
The Inverse analysis: Don’t like one planet? Hop to another. Heck, if they’re all habitable, choose your own adventure. If none are … good luck.
Habitability rating:🔥❄️😎🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
BUT … what if red dwarfs don’t have the right stuff?
Aside from pillaging the PHL list of worlds, you eliminate the potential for robust life in the universe. You have to stick to stars like the Sun. And suddenly, we don’t have a lot of places nearby to go. Two of the remaining planets around non-M-dwarf stars on the PHL index aren’t an easy shot. Kepler-442 b is nearly 1200 light-years away. Kepler-62f is 980+ light-years away. We can’t get there.
Tau Ceti f is a hefty world. We haven’t seen it directly, but it’s at a minimum four times the mass of Earth. Gravity there would be high — not a lot of fun for those who like calisthenics. It’s also likely 1.8 times the radius of Earth (though we haven’t seen it pass in front of its star, so that’s a rough estimate). It has a 642-day orbit — one of the longest period known habitable exoplanets.
But it has a lot of things in its favor. Tau Ceti is a Sun-like star, about 78 percent the mass of the Sun, and burns at similar temperatures. (Both are classified as G-stars.) At 12 light-years away, we could get there in 24 years going half the speed of light — just in time for babies leaving Earth to have a quarter-life crisis on arrival.
Its Sun-like qualities have made it a popular destination for science fiction, including Dan Simmon’s Hyperion and Arthur C. Clarke’s Rama series. The star system also makes an appearance in Star Trek, Barbarella, Doctor Who, The Expanse, and … uh … Earth: Final Conflict. It’s the nerd connoisseur's Sun-like star, to all you Alpha Centauri-loving plebes.
It’s not exactly high on the list of the 24 most habitable planets on the list. In fact, it’s 22 on a list of 24. It’s not graduating with honors. It’s only listed as having a .58 Earth Similarity Index (.99 is the highest possible, and Proxima Centauri b has .87 and TRAPPIST-1d .90, sitting at #4 and #6, respectively.)
So maybe Tau Ceti f isn’t quite what we want there, either — especially with the gravity and potential to be more of a small Neptune than a large Earth. There could be moons. We might find an elusive candidate, Tau Ceti PxP-4, that (if it exists) is in the habitable zone too. In other words, it’s still worth the trip — especially if the red dwarf stars are out.
The Inverse analysis:Earth-like temperatures could make this a great place to go, and if the planet isn’t so great, maybe it has an ok moon … or even another planet waiting for us.
Okay, okay. We know. Not a planet — it’s Jupiter's outermost large moon. But hear us out.
Let’s say astronomers realize Proxima Centauri b isn’t habitable. Fine. There are other potentially habitable planets within the same distance as Tau Ceti, including Teegarden’s Star b (the most potentially habitable planet by PHL standards), Ross 128b, and Luyten’s Star, which we’ve already beamed a message to. We could just go there, but being that they’re all M-dwarf planets, the journey seems iffier.
But let’s say Proxima Centauri b is very habitable. So habitable, in fact, that it’s rife with intelligent life. We aren’t going to be welcomed with open arms. We would, after all, be invaders — the kinds of aliens sci-fi has taught us to fear. (If you want to know how first contact can go very wrong, get out of hand if you will, read The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.) Then we can’t go there either.
And if Mars and Venus are non-starters, there are still places we can go. They’re just not planets. They’re the water worlds of our Solar System, places like Ceres in the asteroid belt, Europa and Ganymede circling Jupiter, and Enceladus spewing oceanic water out into space. Even Titan looks like a cold version of early Earth — lakes of ethane and methane dotting the surface while an entire ocean of water is trapped deep below. Pluto might have a subsurface ocean.
But we might not want to go down this path. Jupiter, for example, has some of the most deadly radiation in our solar system. When the Pioneer 10 probe passed it in 1974, NASA hadn’t correctly predicted just how much radiation it would emit. Even passing what they thought was a “safe” point, the probe was damaged by the radiation.
And while Europa and Ganymede are watery ocean worlds underneath an icy crust, they’re within those radiation belts. The ice may protect life below but would endanger or flat-out fry humans above.
There has to be a better way.
And maybe there is. In 2003, NASA Langley researchers suggested a solution to the Ganymede / Europa problem. Just go a world over, to Callisto.
Why is Callisto so promising?:
It’s outside the most dangerous parts of the radiation belts
It’s the size of the planet Mercury (Ganymede is slightly larger, Callisto slightly smaller)
Its heavy cratering gives places to land
It’s also made of water ice. This water could be used for drinking after some processing, sure, but it could also be refined into hydroxyzine for rocket fuel.
What’s so tantalizing about Callisto (in the more immediate) is the chance it could be home base while we send robots off to Europa to explore. We could set up shop on the relatively safe far side of the moon and wait for the data to come back.
Maybe it’s our new home, maybe it’s our new research station. Ultimately, the worlds beyond Earth seem pretty inhospitable. While humans are tough, you’re asking all of humanity to participate in the Shackleton Expedition.
OR MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST STAY HOME and stay put, fixing our problems on Earth instead of running away to another planet. (But if we don’t, dibs on a condo on Tau Ceti f.)
US government 'gearing up to share information about UFOs' after latest sighting
US government 'gearing up to share information about UFOs' after latest sighting
Following confirmation a video showing "pyramid-shaped" objects flying above a US Navy ship is genuine, the US government may release more information about UFOs, an expert claims
The US government is gearing up to share information about the "reality" of UFOs, an expert has claimed.
Luis ‘Lue’ Elizondo claims to be the former director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (ATTIP), a secretive Pentagon unit that reportedly studied UFOs, between 2007 and 2012.
This groundbreaking programme, which reportedly had a budget of £16.5million allocated to it annually by the Department of Defence, is said to have been run from the fifth floor of Pentagon’s C RING in Washington DC and was tasked with investigating UFO sightings in the US and the rest of the world.
He now claims that a bombshell secretive new document slated for release in June touches down on the unexplainable.

“I think the government has acknowledged the reality of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP),” Elizondo told The New York Post, despite signing what he refers to as a “lifelong” NDA before he resigned from the Pentagon in 2017.
He added: “I think they all want answers and I think they are all willing to ask the hard questions.”
During a press conference this week, Elizondo described vessels flying at 11,000 miles-per-hour and being able to turn “instantly.”
He also revealed details of vessels that can fly 50-feet above the Earth’s surface or 80,000 feet in the sky and even submerge underwater without a compromise in performance: “When you see that, you recognize you are dealing with a technology more advanced than ours.”
The incredible clip, which was captured in July 2019, shows a triangle or pyramid-shaped object hovering high above the missile-carrying destroyer USS Russell.
It was recently made public by documentary-maker Jeremy Corbell, who claims the mysterious objects were definitely not either a US military secret project or any known man-made technology.
The UAPs were initially described in the clip as "drones" but Corbell says their bizarre pyramidal shape didn’t conform to any known aerodynamic principles.

He says the material he's released are from unclassified aspects of the briefing.
UFO hunters are now desperate for the authorities to release more information from the sightings, with Elizondo saying they should do so sooner rather than later.
“This is not a conversation like fine wine where the longer we keep a cork on it, the better it gets,” Elizondo said. “This is a conversation like rotten fruit or vegetables in the refrigerator. And the longer it stays in there, the more it’s going to stink.”
Four-Legged Dark Creature Was Spotted On Mars by NASA’s Rover
Four-Legged Dark Creature Was Spotted On Mars by NASA’s Rover
As the title suggests, this photo was taken by the Mars Opportunity Rover, and right off the bat you can see why it got so much attention to say the least.
This four-legged animal turned up out of nowhere and as it brushed past the camera experts couldn’t help but compare it to a bear from our planet.
Of course, we know that this is virtually impossible, but it is interesting to see if such similarities did occur between life on Mars and life on Earth.
We know that for the most part, the aliens that lived on Mars were humanoid so why wouldn’t creatures similar to bears actually live on Mars too?
The photograph itself is quite good too, unlike most others out there you can clearly see its outline and the fact that it isn’t just a random camera glitch too. Of course, there were some skeptics that called this just another typical case of the pareidolia effect but that’s inconsequential, to say the least as we could give these people an actual alien being and they’d still find reasons to complain at the end of the day.
A lot of experts have stated that this could actually be one of the last remnants of the Red Planet although that’s very unlikely considering just how many encounters we found so far to this day on Mars.
So, which is it? Is it our imagination or is there more to this picture than meets the eye?
When it comes to black holes, does size really matter? Would you be afraid if astronomers discovered one of the tiniest black holes ever? Would you change your mind if they told you it was also the closest black hole to the Earth ever found? How close? Ah, all of sudden, size DOES matter!
Tharindu Jayasinghe is a doctoral student in astronomy at The Ohio State University and part of a team of researchers looking for tiny black holes – a new class of black holes discovered in 2019 at The Ohio State University. They were scanning data on a red giant star in the constellation Monoceros – so named because it resembles the mythical steed – when they noticed something was causing the light from the red giant to periodically change in intensity and appearance. The changes were so drastic that they signaled the orbiting object was massive enough to change its shape – a phenomenon called tidal distortion – but not large enough to block it completely from view. Knowing what they know at OSU about tiny black holes, they suspected (and hoped) that’s what was circling the red giant.
“When we looked at the data, this black hole – the Unicorn – just popped out.”
The data showed a black hole a mere three times the mass of our Sun that was distorting its companion into a football shape – how appropriate for Ohio State! Even better, it’s only 1,500 light years from Earth – giving the researchers a double-black-hole-score for the closest and nearly the tiniest ever found. They nicknamed it the Unicorn because of its uniqueness and location in the constellation Monoceros (Latin for unicorn) and their study was accepted for publication in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
“What we’ve done here is come up with a new way to search for black holes, but we’ve also potentially identified one of the first of a new class of low-mass black holes that astronomers hadn’t previously known about. The masses of things tell us about their formation and evolution, and they tell us about their nature.”
As Todd Thompson, a professor of astronomy at The Ohio State University, study co-author and lead author of the 2019 study announcing the discovery of tiny black holes, pointed out in 2019, The Ohio State University has become a leader in finding them with the KELT (Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope) system — developed by an OSU graduate student – and the ASAS-SN (All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae), which is run out of Ohio State. They’ve done so well in finding them, they’re now becoming the leader in mapping them.
“I think the field is pushing toward this, to really map out how many low-mass, how many intermediate-mass and how many high-mass black holes there are, because every time you find one it gives you a clue about which stars collapse, which explode and which are in between.”
The Ohio State University – from football to astronomy powerhouse. Make room in the trophy case.
