UFO Hunter Claims to Have Found Stones Resembling 'Head of Ancient Royal' on Mars
UFO Hunter Claims to Have Found Stones Resembling 'Head of Ancient Royal' on Mars
Ancient Egyptian civilization is shrouded in mystery. Scientists still struggle to understand how Egyptians placed millions of hewn stones weighing at least two tons on top of one another. Supporters of conspiracy theories claim that those structures were not built by humans but rather by extraterrestrial civilizations.
Scott C Waring, who tirelessly searches for signs of extraterrestrial life, claims to have discovered the head of an ancient royal in stone on Mars. According to the self-proclaimed ufologist, he stumbled upon the finding while examining images of the Red Planet online, something UFO hunters often do.
Waring alleges that one of the stones looks like a male head wearing a helmet. [It is] "a show of the status and warrior attributes of those individuals", the ufologist wrote in a statement on his blog.
Waring suggested that the shape and size of the purported helmet are similar to the one worn by Pharaoh Thutmose I.
Scott C Waring provided no explanation as to how the Egyptian ruler might have ended up on the Red Planet, especially as back in April his mummy and sarcophagus were moved to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

Bright UFO ball like reddish smoke with single trail turning into 2 trails – Dover, DE 10-Sep-2021
This strange UFO phenomenon was filmed over Dover, the capital city of Delaware in United States on 10th September 2021.
Witness report:
A bright ball like reddish smoke with single trail turning into 2 trails It was around 7:15 pm when my wife and I started to take a walk in our neighborhood. The sun was setting in the west with pink clouds in the distance. There was still blue sky left. That’s when I noticed what looked like a dark pink cloud by itself and out of place. I stopped to look at it and asked my wife if she saw it moving. She said yes. Then the cloud started to move slowly towards us and with a tail like a comet. Then it seem to turn away from us with 2 tails. It finally went from reddish to black then went into cloud cover and it was gone.

Wreckage from mysterious UFO crashes could unlock alien secrets, experts say
Wreckage from mysterious UFO crashes could unlock alien secrets, experts say
Debris from 70 years of alleged UFO crashes has been studied in a new state-of-the-art lab machine at Stanford University, California - and many were hoping some mysteries could be solved
Physical debris from two allegedUFOcrash sites over the past 70 years has been examined in a lab, it has been confirmed.
A new state-of-the-art machine has enabled scientists at Stanford University, California, to study in-depth was what collected.
Metal debris from UFO cases dating as far back as 1947 has been investigated. It obtained through on field research of supposed crashes in Colombia and Argentina.
The new “multi-parameter ion beam imager” gives scientists the chance to look at the atomic structure of a selected material.
Science News reports that Stanford microbiologist Dr Garry Nolan is using the machine to create a revolutionary three-dimensional image.

He will analyse the samples right down to their individual atoms, in a process called Multiplexed Ion Beam Imagine.
At that microscopic level, the atomic structure is impossible to fake.

When Dr Nolan placed some of the fragments in the vacuum chamber of his instrument, he was astonished to find their composition unlike any other metal.
He said: “If you’re talking about an advanced material from an advanced civilisation, you’re talking about something that I’ll just call an ultra-material.
Scientists discovered that material found was manufactured and not natural

“It’s something which has properties where somebody is putting it together again at an atomic scale.
“We’re building our world with 80 elements, somebody else is building the world with 253 different isotopes.”
The scientists discovered that this material was manufactured and not natural.
It comes as a new study claimed aliens could be powering their societies by harvesting energy from black holes.
Extraterrestrials could, theoretically, use a hypothetical megastructure called a Dyson sphere, which would encircle a star with a tight formation of orbiting platforms in order to capture starlight and produce power, it has been suggested.
Astronomer Tiger Yu-Yang Hsiao, of National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, looked at whether one of these could actually be built around a black hole instead of a star in their paper.
Paper 'A Dyson sphere around a black hole' was published in July in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
In the study they looked at the possible emission from the accretion disk around a black hole, its corona, and even relativistic jets emitted by the black hole.
"Usually, accretion disks can provide 10,000 and even more times the energy you would get from a star like the Sun," Hsiao told IFLScience.
"So instead of hunting 10,000 stars like our Sun, we can just find one black hole and build a Dyson sphere around it and it would be much more efficient."
NASA’s Perseverance Rover Collects Puzzle Pieces of Mars’ History
NASA’s Perseverance Rover Collects Puzzle Pieces of Mars’ History
Two holes are visible in the rock, nicknamed “Rochette,” from which NASA’s Perseverance rover obtained its first core samples. The rover drilled the hole on the left, called “Montagnac,” on Sept. 7, and the hole on the right, known as “Montdenier,” on Sept. 1. Below it is a round spot the rover abraded.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover successfully collected its first pair of rock samples, and scientists already are gaining new insights into the region. After collecting its first sample, named “Montdenier,” Sept. 6, the team collected a second, “Montagnac,” from the same rock Sept. 8.
Analysis of the rocks from which the Montdenier and Montagnac samples were taken and from the rover’s previous sampling attempt may help the science team piece together the timeline of the area’s past, which was marked by volcanic activity and periods of persistent water.
“It looks like our first rocks reveal a potentially habitable sustained environment,” said Ken Farley of Caltech, project scientist for the mission, which is led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California. “It’s a big deal that the water was there a long time.”
The rock that provided the mission’s first core samples is basaltic in composition and may be the product of lava flows. The presence of crystalline minerals in volcanic rocks is especially helpful in radiometric dating. The volcanic origin of the rock could help scientists accurately date when it formed. Each sample can serve as part of a larger chronological puzzle; put them in the right order, and scientists have a timeline of the most important events in the crater’s history. Some of those events include the formation of Jezero Crater, the emergence and disappearance of Jezero’s lake, and changes to the planet’s climate in the ancient past.
What’s more, salts have been spied within these rocks. These salts may have formed when groundwater flowed through and altered the original minerals in the rock, or more likely when liquid water evaporated, leaving the salts. The salt minerals in these first two rock cores may also have trapped tiny bubbles of ancient Martian water. If present, they could serve as microscopic time capsules, offering clues about the ancient climate and habitability of Mars. Salt minerals are also well-known on Earth for their ability to preserve signs of ancient life.
The Perseverance science team already knew a lake once filled the crater; for how long has been more uncertain. The scientists couldn’t dismiss the possibility that Jezero’s lake was a “flash in the pan”: floodwaters could have rapidly filled the impact crater and dried up in the space of 50 years, for example.
But the level of alteration that scientists see in the rock that provided the core samples – as well as in the rock the team targeted on their first sample-acquisition attempt – suggests that groundwater was present for a long time.
This groundwater could have been related to the lake that was once in Jezero, or it could have traveled through the rocks long after the lake had dried up. Though scientists still can’t say whether any of the water that altered these rocks was present for tens of thousands or for millions of years, they feel more certain that it was there for long enough to make the area more welcoming to microscopic life in the past.
“These samples have high value for future laboratory analysis back on Earth,” said Mitch Schulte of NASA Headquarters, the mission’s program scientist. “One day, we may be able to work out the sequence and timing of the environmental conditions that this rock’s minerals represent. This will help answer the big-picture science question of the history and stability of liquid water on Mars.”
Next Stop, ‘South Séítah’
Perseverance is currently searching the crater floor for samples that can be brought back to Earth to answer profound questions about Mars’ history. Promising samples are sealed in titanium tubes the rover carries in its chassis, where they’ll be stored until Perseverance drops them to be retrieved by a future mission. Perseverance will likely create multiple “depots” later in the mission, where it will drop off samples for a future mission to bring to Earth. Having one or more depots increases the likelihood that especially valuable samples will be accessible for retrieval to Earth.
Perseverance’s next likely sample site is just 656 feet (200 meters) away in “South Séítah,” a series of ridges covered by sand dunes, boulders, and rock shards that Farley likens to “broken dinner plates.”
The rover’s recent drill sample represents what is likely one of the youngest rock layers that can be found on Jezero Crater’s floor. South Séítah, on the other hand, is likely older, and will provide the science team a better timeline to understand events that shaped the crater floor, including its lake.
By the start of October, all Mars missions will be standing down from commanding their spacecraft for several weeks, a protective measure during a period called Mars solar conjunction. Perseverance isn’t likely to drill in South Séítah until sometime after that period.
More About Perseverance
A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith --broken rock and dust.
Subsequent NASA missions, in cooperation with ESA (European Space Agency), would send spacecraft to Mars to collect these sealed samples from the surface and bring them to Earth for in-depth analysis.
The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is part of NASA’s Moon to Mars exploration approach, which includes Artemis missions to the Moon that will help prepare for human exploration of the Red Planet.
JPL, which is managed for NASA by Caltech in Pasadena, California, built and manages operations of the Perseverance rover.
Guarded by aliens? The last time humans stepped on the moon
Guarded by aliens? The last time humans stepped on the moon
The UFO community found numerous anomalies after investigating thousands of official photos captured during the Apollo 17 moon mission.
Apollo 17 was the last official mission of the American ‘Apollo’ program that brought the first astronauts to the Moon in 1972.
During the 12-day lunar mission, the crew captured more than 8,400 photos of the lunar surface that are now available on NASA’s website .
Years after the photos became available, UFO hunters discovered curious objects in some of the images that resemble spaceships, origins unknown.
In fact, there are those who believe that the anomalies are simply reflections or lens flares, but the growing evidence tends to disprove these theories easily.
Apollo 17 remains the most recent manned mission to the Moon, with no other astronauts having set foot there since 1972. Could this be just a coincidence?
The constant number of days spent both in space and on the Moon, as well as the fact that no other manned missions have been conducted since then, raises many questions.
Is it possible that the Apollo 17 astronauts encountered an alien moon base? Were they found by UFOs or crafts from another world? If so, did anyone restrict or deny human access to the lunar surface?
Why would the Apollo 17 mission gather such a large volume of samples, take so many photographs, and never investigate its findings further again?
Is the natural satellite that orbits our planet so desolate and unimportant that no further missions are necessary?
While it is still difficult to prove that the astronauts were intercepted by aliens, the reality of the UFOs present in many stages of the Apollo 17 mission is a clear indicator (for some of us at least) that NASA could be in favor of a Covert pact with beings from another world ..
White Dwarfs can Continue Burning Hydrogen, Even After They’re Dead
White Dwarfs can Continue Burning Hydrogen, Even After They’re Dead
White dwarfs are supposed to be dead remnants of stars, doomed to simply fade away into the background. But new observations show that some are able to maintain some semblance of life by wrapping themselves in a layer of fusing hydrogen.
White dwarfs are the dense leftover cores of sunlike stars. They are exposed to the universe when stars build up too much carbon and oxygen in their centers. They then tear themselves apart in a slow, agonizing process that eventually creates a planetary nebula. With all the outer layers stripped, the core remains – a white dwarf.
White dwarfs are inert. They don’t have enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion of their carbon and oxygen, and so they just sit there, slowly radiating away their heat for eons upon eons.
But new research is challenging that simple story.
“We have found the first observational evidence that white dwarfs can still undergo stable thermonuclear activity,” explained Jianxing Chen of the Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, who led this research. “This was quite a surprise, as it is at odds with what is commonly believed.”
The research team led by Chen compared two globular clusters, M3 and M13, with the Hubble Space Telescope. They especially focused on near-ultraviolet wavelengths, which allowed them to compare more than 700 white dwarfs inside the two clusters.
They found that the white dwarfs in M3 were pretty standard, but that M13 had two different populations: one set of normal white dwarfs, and another that were enveloped by an outer layer of hydrogen.
Combining the results with computer simulations, Chen and his colleagues determined that around 70% of the white dwarfs in M13 had so much hydrogen surrounding them that the shells were actively undergoing fusion. That fusion is able to keep the white dwarfs warmer for far longer than astronomers had previously thought possible.
Astronomers use established cooling time relationships to connect the temperature of a white dwarf to its age, which helps them better understand their origins and environment. The new research makes that relationship a little murkier.
“Our discovery challenges the definition of white dwarfs as we consider a new perspective on the way in which stars get old,” added Francesco Ferraro of the Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, who coordinated the study. “We are now investigating other clusters similar to M13 to further constrain the conditions which drive stars to maintain the thin hydrogen envelope which allows them to age slowly.”

UFOs & UAPs: The Situation Has Changed! Avi Loeb and Harvard’s Galileo Project
UFOs & UAPs: The Situation Has Changed! Avi Loeb and Harvard’s Galileo Project
! In 2017, the world for the first time observed an interstellar object, called ‘Oumuamua, that was briefly visiting our Solar system. Based on astronomical observations, ‘Oumuamua turned out to have highly anomalous properties that defy well-understood natural explanations. We can only speculate whether ‘Oumuamua may be explained by never seen before natural explanations, or perhaps being an extraterrestrial technological object, similar to a very thin light-sail or communication dish, which fits the astronomical data rather well.
After the release of the Pentagon Office of the Director of National Intelligence report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), the scientific community now needs the determination to systematically, scientifically & transparently look for potential evidence of extraterrestrial technological equipment. The impact of any discovery of extraterrestrial technology on science & on our entire worldview would be enormous. Given the recently discovered abundance of Earth-Sun systems, the Galileo Project is dedicated to the proposition that humans can no longer ignore the possible existence of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs), & that science should not dogmatically reject potential extraterrestrial explanations because of social stigma or cultural preferences, factors which are not conducive to the scientific method of unbiased, empirical inquiry. We now must look through new telescopes’, both literally & figuratively. The Galileo Project aims to identify the nature of UAP and ‘Oumuamua-like interstellar objects using the standard scientific method based on a transparent analysis of open scientific data to be collected using optimized instruments.
Professor Paul Davies, an astrobiologist, cosmologist and director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science at Arizona State University says that for life to exist outside of Earth, there must be a high number of microbes and several microscopic agents in space. He believes that if there is extra-terrestrial life with these agents on their planet, then there might also be viruses too. Mr Davies says that viruses can be likened to mobile, genetic elements. He said: "Viruses actually form part of the web of life.
"I would expect that if you've got microbial life on another planet, you're bound to have – if it's going to be sustainable and sustained – the full complexity and robustness that will go with being able to exchange genetic information."
He also mentioned a number of studies that have linked the possibility of a process where genetic material from viruses gets incorporated into the genomes of humans and other animals – it is called horizontal gene transfer.
Mr Davies said that horizontal gene transfer is something that is possible if cellular alien life is somewhere out there in the universe.
“A friend of mine thinks most of the human genome is of viral origin

“Most people think about, well, we would need to have very large spacecraft"
(Image: PA)
He added: “A friend of mine thinks most, but certainly a significant fraction, of the human genome is actually of viral origin."
Mr Davies also believes that if there is alien life, he highly doubts that it would be homogenous.
He stated: “I don’t think it’s a matter that you go to some other planet, and there will just be you one type of microbe and it’s perfectly happy. I think it’s got to be a whole ecosystem,”
But while this may seem alarming, Mr Davies is confident that this will not pose a threat to the human race.
He said: “The dangerous viruses are those that are very closely adapted to their hosts. If there is a truly alien virus, then chances are it wouldn't be remotely dangerous,"
“We hear about the microbiome inside us, and there's a planetary microbiome."
These comments come after a recent study led by researchers at The University of Cambridge identified that vast exoplanets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres were discovered in the universe.
The experts said this breakthrough might even lead to the discovery of alien life within two to three years.
Talking about the possibility of discovering alien life, Mr Davies said: “Most people think about, well, we would need to have very large spacecraft, and then sort of recycle things for the very long journey, and then all the technology you’d need to take.
“Actually, the toughest part of this problem is what would be the microbiology that you’d have to take – it’s no good just taking a few pigs and potatoes and things like that and hoping when you get to the other end it’ll all be wonderful and self-sustainable.”
Mr Davies new book, What’s Eating the Universe?, was published last week.
If we ever do find alien life, we may also discover their viruses – or at least that’s what one scientist has claimed. Professor Paul Davies, who is an astrobiologist, cosmologist and director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science at Arizona State University, stated that viruses might be an important factor in the ecosystems on other planets.
Alien life on other planets doesn’t necessarily mean an advanced civilization of humanoids with a large head and bulging eyes – although that’s a possibility as well – but they could also be microbes and that’s where the theory of viruses comes from as explained by Davies, “Viruses actually form part of the web of life.” “I would expect that if you’ve got microbial life on another planet, you’re bound to have – if it’s going to be sustainable and sustained – the full complexity and robustness that will go with being able to exchange genetic information.”
He went on to say that if there is cellular life on other planets, the viruses would be able to move genetic information from one to the others. Additionally, there would probably be an entire ecosystem of microbes instead of just one specific type.
But there’s no need to hide just yet as Davies stated that if there are viruses on other planets, humans here on Earth have nothing to fear. “The dangerous viruses are those that are very closely adapted to their hosts,” he explained. “If there is a truly alien virus, then chances are it wouldn’t be remotely dangerous.” To be more specific, the virus would be more harmful to anything alive on the alien planet rather than being dangerous to Earthlings. This is because the virus wouldn’t have had a chance to infect humans, evolve, and spread. I don’t know about you, but I don’t find that very comforting or reassuring.
Would aliens sneeze like humans?
This would certainly be a factor if humans were to colonize another planet, but Davies has claimed that the majority of viruses are good. “I think without viruses, there may be no sustained life on planet Earth.” Really? COVID-19 is caused by a virus and it has already claimed more than 4.5 million lives. This is certainly one virus we could live without.
If there are aliens viruses out in space somewhere, let’s hope they don’t find their way here.
Over the decades it has been claimed that elements of the U.S. Government may have more than a few “unacknowledged aircraft,” hidden away, so to speak. In simple terms, we’re talking about secret aircraft that, despite sightings of them, no-one in government wants to reveal them for what they are. Or, were. We’ll begin with what has become known as the Aurora. In the early 1990s, rumors began to circulate among the aviation world that a highly secret, futuristic aircraft was being flown out of Area 51 – and under distinctly covert circumstances. The reportedly large, black-colored, triangular-shaped aircraft which could fly at incredible speeds, could outmaneuver just about anything else on the planet. It was rumored to be known as the Aurora. Officially, at least, and according to the U.S. Government, the Aurora does not exist and has never existed. But, that was once said about Area 51, too. So, with that in mind, we need to tread cautiously when it comes to official proclamations of the controversial type.
An artist’s conception of the Aurora aircraft.
The story began – publicly, at least – in March 1990. That was when the well-respected magazine Aviation Week & Space Technologycovered the story. They revealed that the term Aurora had appeared in the 1985 U.S. budget – and had possibly appeared by mistake, which makes sense if the program was so highly sensitive that its existence had to be denied at all costs. And talking of costs, it was rumored that around $455 million had been provided to those working out at Area 51 on secret, futuristic aircraft. AW&ST suspected that Aurora was a code-name for multiple kinds of aircraft that were both radical in design and technology. Other investigators, though, concluded that Aurora referred to just one type of aircraft. AW&ST learned that by 1987 the budget had soared to in excess of two billion dollars. Bill Sweetman is one of the leading figures in the field of aviation and someone who took a deep interest in the Aurora saga. His books include F-22 Raptor, Inside the Stealth Bomber, and Soviet Air Power. And, then there is his 1993 book, Aurora: The Pentagon’s Secret Hypersonic Spyplane. Of the Aurora, Sweetman says: “Does Aurora exist? Years of pursuit have led me to believe that, yes, Aurora is most likely in active development, spurred on by recent advances that have allowed technology to catch up with the ambition that launched the program a generation ago.”
Now, let’s have a look at the TR-3A. It was around 11:00 p.m. on September 26, 1994, when a small, twin-tailed aircraft crash-landed onto the lengthy runway at Boscombe Down, which is situated in the English county of Wiltshire. At around the time of the incident, a number of aviation enthusiasts were listening in on air-band radios and were aware that something untoward had taken place. The following day, several of those same enthusiasts drove to the installation – which is near to the A303 road and not at all far from Stonehenge – and were apprehended by local police who had set up road-blocks to keep away prying eyes. Before being ushered away, however, a number of people succeeded in catching sight of a disabled aircraft. It was situated at the end of the runway and, aside from its twin-tail fins, was completely covered over by tarpaulins. Air Force Monthly magazine was soon on the trail of the truth. In the November 1994 issue of the magazine, investigative writers noted that in the wake of the crash both a Boeing757 and a C-5 Galaxy arrived at Boscombe Down. The story continued that the secret plane was loaded aboard the Galaxy and flown to “Air Force plant 42 at Palmdale, California.” Air Force Monthly suggested that the aircraft “”…was a TR-3A, the existence of which the U.S. Government has yet to officially acknowledge.” The subsonic, stealth TR-3A – also referred to as the Black Manta – remains an enigma, since its existence has never been officially confirmed. Now, what about the Flying Triangles? They have that specific name for a reason: they’re large, black, silent, fast-flying craft hat even have the ability to hover in silence. Some aircraft experts believe the FTs are next-generation Stealth planes. Many people in the UFO research community are of the opinion that the FTs are alien spacecraft. The debate still goes on – after more than several decades of investigation and research.
In 1989 there was a wave of Flying Triangle encounters over Belgian. Nick Pope, still in the employ of the U.K. Ministry of Defense at the time, told me in an interview, after a wave of FT encounters in the U.K. in 1993: “I approached the Belgians to get a comparison after their sightings. I phoned the Air Attaché at the British Embassy in Brussels and he spoke to one of the F-16 pilots who had been scrambled to intercept a Flying Triangle over Belgium back in 1990. Well, the Air Attaché reported back to me that the corporate view of the Belgian Defense Staff was that they did believe that they were dealing with a solid, structured craft. Apparently, the word from the Belgians was: ‘Thank God it was friendly.’ If it hadn’t been, it was made clear to me that there was very little that the Belgian Air Force could have done anyway – despite the fact that the F-16 is no slouch.” The one thing all of these aircraft have in common? I’ll tell you: They’re still undeniably secret.
Three “Potentially Dangerous” Asteroids to Closely Pass by Earth This Month Jocelyne LeBlanc September 10, 2021 FACEBOOK TWITTER GOOGLE+ Three asteroids that have been deemed as being “potentially dangerous” will pass by our plane
Three “Potentially Dangerous” Asteroids to Closely Pass by Earth This Month
Three asteroids that have been deemed as being “potentially dangerous” will pass by our planet this month of September at a fairly close distance. The space rocks will travel by us on September 9th, 11th, and 22nd. With that being said, let’s take a quick look at these three asteroids.
Asteroid 2010 RJ53 is flying by our planet today (September 9th) at a distance of about 366,000 kilometers away (227,422 miles). To put this into better perspective, our moon is located at a distance of around 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) which means that 2010 RJ53 will be closer to us than our moon. This asteroid, which measures 774 meters (2,539 feet), was discovered on September 10, 2010. It completes a full orbit around our sun every 402 days. At its furthest distance, it is 224 million kilometers away from the sun (139 million miles), with its closest approach measuring 95 million kilometers (59 million miles).
On September 11th, asteroid 2021 PT will travel within 4.9 million kilometers from Earth (3 million miles). This asteroid measures approximately 137 meters in diameter (449 feet).
Then on September 22nd, a third asteroid will closely pass by Earth. Asteroid 2021 NY1 will fly by within a distance of 1,498,113 kilometers (930,884 miles). To understand this better, it will be approximately 3.89 times further than the moon is to us. This space rock, which has been categorized as both a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as well as a near-Earth object (NEO), is expected to measure anywhere between 130 and 300 meters in diameter (427 to 984 feet). This asteroid has an orbit of 0.01 Astronomical Units (AU) or approximately 1.5 million kilometers from our planet (932,000 miles) – one AU is the distance of Earth from our sun. Additionally, when 2021 NY1 passes by us on the 22nd of the month, it will be the closest that it has been to our planet in nearly a century and it won’t get close to us again until about the year 2105 when it is expected to be approximately 2.65 million kilometers away (1.65 million miles).
While these three asteroids will be fairly close to Earth when they travel through space, there is no need to worry or hide in a bunker as they aren’t expected to hit our planet.
This is a 3D-Printed Steel Floor Prototype for a Lunar Habitat
This is a 3D-Printed Steel Floor Prototype for a Lunar Habitat
In this decade, multiple space agencies and commercial space entities will be taking us back to the Moon. But unlike the Apollo Era, the goal of these programs is not “footprints and flags,” but to establish the necessary infrastructure to keep going back. In particular, NASA, the ESA, Roscosmos, and China are all planning on establishing outposts that will allow for scientific research and a sustained human presence.
The ESA is currently showcasing what its outpost will look like at the 17th annual Architecture Exhibition at the La Biennale di Venezia museum in Venice. It’s known as the International Moon Village, which was designed by the architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) with technical support from the ESA. This same company recently unveiled a prototype of the skeletal metal component that will one day be part of the Village’s lunar habitats.
The component was built by MX3D, an Amersterdam-based 3D printing architecture and design firm specializing in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). This process involves fusing metal wires with lasers to create lightweight metal objects with high structural strength. The company is renowned for creating the 3D printed metal bridge that spans the Oudezijds Achterburgwal canal in Amsterdam (shown below).

The skeletal, smooth web pattern will be part of the flooring for each habitat that collectively makes up the ESA’s International Lunar Village. The prototype was created using a robotic 3D printer out of 308LSi stainless steel over the course of about 10 days (246 hours), measures 4.5 m (~15 ft) in diameter, and has a total mass of approximately 395 kg (over 870 lbs). As ESA Advanced Manufacturing Engineer Advenit Makaya said in a recent ESA press release:
“This is a remarkable achievement from MX3D, which further highlights the potential of this additive manufacturing technique for an increasing range of space applications. The design flexibility and the possibility to combine the printed structure with embedded monitoring systems – as demonstrated in the 3D-printed bridge in Amsterdam – are worth investigating for applications in space structures. This technique could also be considered for in-situ construction of infrastructure during sustainable exploration missions, for instance by using metallic feedstock derived from the locally available regolith.”
The floor component consists of six separate segments that were printed vertically before being welded together. When integrated with SOM’s design for a four-story semi-inflatable habitat, the 3D printed structure will be supported by three columns and covered by a series of floor panels. Unfortunately, SOM could not feature it as part of their exhibit – titled “Life Beyond Earth” – but manages to convey the scale of the lunar habitats that they are developing. Said Daniel Inocente, SOM’s Senior Designer for the study:
“The innovative floor design is supported from columns in the habitat walls, cantilevering towards the perimeter and centre. We looked at the manufacturing constraints and used our analysis to interpolate a web pattern that followed the angular limits of the 3D printing machines. The cross section and thickness was also analysed and differentiated to reduce the overall mass – with reduced thickness at the exterior/interior boundaries.”

The flooring and manufacturing process are consistent with SOM’s habitat design, which calls for four-story semi-inflatable shells that collectively make the International Lunar Village. Each semi-inflatable shell structure measures four stories high and offers the highest possible volume to mass ratio. Once inflated on the lunar surface, each of these habitats will approximately double its original internal volume.
The module’s inflatable design allows it to be compressed for the sake of transport and then inflated to its full size once it is deployed to the lunar surface. But unlike previous inflatable designs, where the structural and mechanical systems are typically at the center, SOM’s design allows for an open interior that optimizes the living experience. In addition to showcasing a key component in the proposed lunar habitat, the floor element demonstrates the effectiveness of the 3D printing method involved. As Gijs van der Velden, CEO of MX3D, explained:
“This was a great opportunity to show the potential of our technology for the fabrication of lightweight metal structures together with ESA and SOM. It was a perfect project for MX3D to leverage its experience in printing topology optimised metal structures. Achieving an optimal use of material is a company goal at MX3D because – just as when designing space applications – every reduced kilo in a MX3D design is a direct win for a project’s feasibility.”
“The capabilities of MX3D demonstrate inspiring concurrence of engineering and art, and are another great example to what extent additive manufacturing has already entered our society,” added Thomas Rohr, Head of the Materials and Processes team at ESA. “For space applications, such technologies not only provide improvements in performance but can lead to unprecedented and enabling design solutions.”
The International Moon Village project is a multidisciplinary effort initiated by the ESA and developed in collaboration with Jeffrey A. Hoffman – a former NASA astronaut and a Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT. Similarly, the project is in keeping with the theme of the Biennale Architettura 2021 – “How will we live together?” – which features 112 participants in competition from 46 countries.
The purpose of this exhibition is to promote ideas for coexistence and sustainability in response to global problems. The International Moon Village exhibit is intended to show how space-related research and solutions for space habitation have applications here on Earth. Like all plans for establishing a human presence on the Moon, the key to the design is in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) and sustainability.
For example, the ESA plans to deploy the Moon Village in the Moon’s southern polar region – aka. The South Pole-Aitken Basin. In the permanently shadowed craters that mark this region, there is abundant water ice that could be harvested and used for the sake of drinking water, irrigation, and the creation of oxygen gas and rocket fuel. In addition, power can be provided by deploying solar arrays around the crater rims, which are exposed to near-continuous daylight.
This arrangement allows for a degree of resource self-sufficiency, reducing the need for resupply missions from Earth, thus reducing overall costs. As a means of manufacturing, 3D metal printing is also incredibly efficient and wastes far less material than traditional machining. These technologies will have similar applications here at home, promoting sustainable living solutions to reduce our impact on the natural environment.
I saw something today that I have never seen before while watching the live NASA space station cam...a robot drone moving about and its eyes are very human like. The robots eyes really make it less creepy and more fun, almost like Wally the robot. The eyes wander left and right, blinking every now and then. But whats really blowing me away is how smoothly the robot maneuvers around the station. It never bumped a single object in that narrow area. I heard an astronaut say the sidekick needed recharging and soon after a woman astronaut floated over and began pulling a cord from the floor and plugging it into the back of the robot. The robot continued to look around floating and then decided to rest on the floor area. Its not a UFO but it is 66.66% since it is flying and it is an object. The robots are called Astrobee and three are on board the ISS right now...named Honey, Bumble and Queen. Each with their own unique color sides.
The main purpose of the Astrobee platform is to provide a zero-gravity testbed for guest scientists to try out new robotic technologies in space,” says Maria Bualat, Astrobee project manager at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, in a press statement. “Astrobee will prove out robotic capabilities that will enable and enhance human exploration. Performing such experiments in zero gravity will ultimately help develop new hardware and software for future space missions.”
Just something I thought was really cool to see on live cam. I can really see the future of robots in space being similar to these legless wonders.
Strange Blue Lights Over Mexico City After 7.1 Earthquake ( September 7, 2021 )
The sky lights up during the 7.1 earthquake in Mexico CDMX September 7, 2021. STATEMENT : Aldair Eduardo : The green sky causes the tremor for the release of energy. Javier López Díaz : So the glow that many saw...
A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Acapulco region and mysterious lights took over the sky. Several videos recorded the moment mysterious lights took Acapulco sky. Records were made during the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck the region overnight this Tuesday. As much as a rare phenomenon, lights of this type were also seen during another earthquake that struck Mexico in 2017. As reported by the Publimeter, although they appear to be lightning, the phenomenon is not a storm, as many have claimed. According to an explanation released by Pictoline on Twitter, the phenomenon is not an electric storm, but the appearance of so-called ′′ Earthquake Lights ". They are caused by Earth's crust rocks that, when hit by a seismic wave, release electric charges .... These charges in turn come together and shoot toward the sky in a similar format to storm rays. Mystery lights are seen in the sky during earthquake A report released by Uol pointed out that ′′ earthquake lights ′′ have been documented since the 1600 s, according to studies from the United States Seismological Association. The phenomenon, which has been studied by researchers at Rutgers University, USA, can be seen as a form of warning of likely earthquakes. Previous records point to your viewing just days before earthquakes occurring in San Francisco, California, and Quebec, Canada. One of the latest records were similar lights to the ′′ earthquake lights ′′ in Japan's sky, just before the earthquake followed by the tsunami that struck the country in 2011.
They are here !

Top Secret Anti-Gravity Spy Plane - TR3b Black Manta
Top Secret Anti-Gravity Spy Plane - TR3b Black Manta
In the case of the TR-3B Black Manta, it means a craft that uses highly pressured mercury accelerated by nuclear energy, so that plasma is produced, which, in turn, creates a field of anti-gravity around the craft. It has an electromagnetic coil at the heart of it’s motive power system, the result of which is electromagnetic drive that interacts with the Higgs-Boson field at the quantum level. Heady stuff indeed!
So, an anti-gravity aircraft doesn’t use conventional turbine or rocket engine technology, but instead a propulsion system that creates thrust by generating high-energy plasma. These aircraft are also referred to as ‘flux liners’.
As with many divergent aviation technologies, anti-gravity technology dates back to the latter part and aftermath of World War II, and specifically the covert U.S. project known as Operation Paperclip.
The objective of Operation Paperclip was for the U.S. to gain as much leverage against the Soviet Union in the military armaments technology race, which is why the project was packed to the rafters with German scientists who were avowed members of the Nazi Party.
That means the U.S. has been investigating anti-gravity technology for nearly 70 years.
It is the culmination of theories regarding gravitation, quantum gravity and general relativity, the latter as first put forward by Albert Einstein himself.
Anti-gravity is of huge interest to the military and scientists alike, given that, for example, one could hypothetically reduce an aircraft’s mass by using electromagnetic propulsion, even down to zero.
Little wonder that the likes of NASA, the U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin researchers have all invested in theoretical studies regarding the ability to alter inert mass.
According to experts, the TR-3B Black Manta would use conventional thrusters located at the tips of the aircraft that would allow it to perform a dizzying number of rapid high-speed maneuvers, including perfect right-angle turns and hyper acceleration. And it could achieve this along all its three axes.
Remember, the TR-3B was designed to be a subsonic stealth spy plane.
For one thing, it’s a very silent aircraft, save for a slight humming sound. An interesting by-product of the plasma the TR-3B generates is that it significantly reduces the aircraft’s radar signature, thereby making it ideal for missions in which stealth is paramount.
That means the TR-3B Black Manta could sneak into just about any air space of any country and not be detected by its air traffic control or air defence systems.
This little black number has been associated with multiple reports of sightings of flying triangle aircraft over Antelope Valley, an area of desert in southern California much beloved by UFO watchers.
It’s also this desert area of California that draws people interested in covert black project or ‘black ops aircraft projects, given its close proximity to several known military research and testing areas, including Edwards Air Force Base and USAF Plant 42, the latter which is a mere 60 miles or 97 kilometres from downtown Los Angeles.
The TR-3B Black Manta would certainly be the type of black ops project typical of the U.S. Air Force and Navy. The U2 spy plane of the 1950s, the SR-71 jet of the 1980s, and the present-day F-117A stealth craft are just three examples of planes that the U.S. Air Force denied existed for years, all of which were first covertly developed at Nevada’s infamous Area 51 base. And don’t let’s forget that Area 51 itself was only finally acknowledged by the U.S. government when that most covert of agencies, the CIA, did so in June 2013, courtesy of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed eight years earlier.
But does it exist?
There are of course the inevitable allegations that the TR-3B was built by the military using extraterrestrial reverse-engineered technology.
Even Forbes magazine mused in 2021 that maybe, just maybe the patents issued to Salvatore Cezar Pais could be a cover for alien technology captured over the years by the U.S. military.
So, what of the TR-3B Black Manta? How far back does it go, if at all? Does it have anything to do with the aforementioned 2018 patent issued to Pais and the U.S. Navy? Is it a plane, is it a bird, could it even be Superman? No, it’s just the United States Air Force messing with our heads again.
The Great Salt Lake Enigma: Science Shows Anomalies – Evidence of a Global Flood?
The Great Salt Lake Enigma: Science Shows Anomalies – Evidence of a Global Flood?
When the first American settlers reached the shore of the Great Salt Lake in the middle of the 19th century, many of them believed that this vast inland sea was a remnant of the floodwaters that had swept across the whole Earth in theGreat Deluge. At that time, the acceptance of the Biblical deluge as a real and historical event was as universal as the flood itself was believed to be, among the educated and uneducated alike.
The currently accepted explanation of the Great Salt Lake’s formation is much more prosaic. According to geologists, the Great Salt Lake (Utah, USA) is a remnant of a once much larger lake named Lake Bonneville that has since largely evaporated away. Supposedly, Lake Bonneville grew to such a large size because the region experienced much more precipitation during the Ice Age compared to today, and has shrunk to its present size due to decreasing rainfall following the ending of the last Ice Age. Also, scientists say that the Great Salt Lake’s salts originate from the rivers that bring in small amounts of dissolved salts, which then accumulate in the lake because it has no outlet. Utah’s official state website confirms this: “[it] is salty because it does not have an outlet. Tributary rivers are constantly bringing in small amounts of salt dissolved in their fresh water flow. Once in the Great Salt Lake much of the water evaporates leaving the salt behind.” In this article, I shall argue against the currently accepted explanation of the Great Salt Lake’s origins and attempt to rehabilitate the long-dismissed hypothesis of its oceanic origins.
Origins of The Great Salt Lake
Let us examine the official explanation of the origin of the Great Salt Lake’s salts line by line.
ISS/NASA imagery of the Great Salt Lake. Great Salt Lake, Utah, to the right (east) are the Wasatch Mountains, to the lower right is Salt Lake City, Utah.
First, it is stated that “[the Great Salt Lake] is salty because it does not have an outlet.” I will not dispute that the second part of this statement, namely “it does not have an outlet” is true. The Great Salt Lake certainly does not have an outlet, meaning that rivers flow into the lake (the Bear, Weber, and Provo/Jordan rivers), but no rivers flow out. Such a lake is a specific example of a general class of lakes called endorheic lakes, and the drainage basins within which these lakes are found are called endorheic basins, which are drainage basins from which no rivers flow out. The vast majority of the millions of lakes found across the world are not endorheic lakes; that is, almost all lakes have rivers that flow out of them, as well as into them.
The second statement in the Utah state website’s official explanation reads: “tributary rivers are constantly bringing in small amounts of salt dissolved in their fresh water flow.” This statement is also true, as can be verified by a Scientific American article written by Arthur Pillsbury:
“All natural waters, including those described as fresh, contain salts. A virgin stream emerging from a mountain watershed may contain as little as 50 parts per miIlion p.p.m.) of "salt," or total dissolved solids. Ocean water averages about 35,000 p.p.m., or about 3.5 percent, of dissolved solids.”
Mr. Pillsbury then goes on to emphasize that the word “salts,” in this context, does not mean only sodium and chloride, which are the primary constituents of the familiar table salt, but other ions, including but not limited to sodium, chloride, sulfate, potassium, calcium, and carbonate. Later on, he explains how these streams end up containing these minute concentrations of salt, namely through the action of weathering and erosion:
“Weathering takes place under conditions where there is ample opportunity for the mineral crystals that constitute rock to oxidize. Although weathering embraces physical, chemical and biological processes, the physical processes are pervasive and central. Mechanical action fractures rock, exposing a far greater surface area to weathering agents. For example, the alternate freezing and thawing of water in the crevices of the rock exerts forces of compression and expansion that can break down the strongest material. Flowing water, wind and the grinding action of rocks in the bed of streams and the bottom of glaciers all contribute to physical weathering. Weathering manufactures both salts and the particles of rock that are borne from the uplands to the lowlands, where they are the principal constituents of soil. ”
So far so good, or so it seems. What, then, are some inferences that can be drawn from these facts?
The Source of the Salt
First, is that the specific salt composition of rivers that drain a watershed will differ depending on the specific rocks and soils that make up the watershed. Given that different regions of the earth exhibit a great diversity of rocks and soils, one should expect that the profile of dissolved salts found in different rivers should correspondingly exhibit a great diversity. These conclusions are not merely plausible, but are in fact true, as can be verified by Table 5.3, which confirms that fresh waters that drain different types of rocks differ significantly in their distribution of dissolved salts.
Table 5.3 [Chart obtained from Tundisi, J. G., and Takako Matsumura. Tundisi. Limnology. Boca Raton: CRC, 2012. Print.]
And by extension, since it is these very salts dissolved in these rivers that are carried to the endorheic lakes, the salt compositions of these rivers determine the salt compositions of the lakes. So we should expect the distribution of dissolved salts in a river flowing into an endorheic lake to be similar to the distribution of dissolved salts in the endorheic lake itself—as the salts dissolved in the endorheic lake originate from these selfsame rivers.
By contrast, the salt composition of seawater is not determined by merely the salt composition of a particular river and the rocks and soils that are found in the specific watershed that this given river drains, but is rather determined by the average of all of the salt concentrations of all of the world’s rivers and the corresponding watersheds that these rivers drained averaged over the entire billions of years over which the oceans have existed.
Given these facts, if the currently accepted geological theory of the origin of the Great Salt Lake’s salts is correct, which is, as was described earlier, that these salts were eroded from the rock and soils within the Great Salt Lake’s watershed and then carried by rivers into the lake, then one would most certainly not expect the Great Salt Lake to have a salt composition that is nearly identical to that of seawater, as this would mean that the chemical composition of the rocks and soils that comprise the Great Salt Lake’s watershed and the salts that they generate upon being eroded happened to be nearly identical to average of the salt compositions of all of the worlds’ rivers averaged over billions of years.
Given that the Great Salt Lake watershed comprises less than a thousandth of the Earth’s total land area, this would be, to say the least, a most remarkable coincidence, since that would imply that a randomly picked and relatively tiny swath of the surface of the earth would have nearly the same distribution of rocks and soils as the average distribution of rocks and soils over the entire earth.
Table 4.5 [Adey, Walter H., and Karen Loveland.
"Physical Environment." Dynamic Aquaria: Building Living Ecosystems. San Diego: Academic, 1991. N. pag. Print.]
Chart of Various Salts in Lakes [information for chart obtained from table shown in table2.png + information about ocean from public domain Adey, Walter H., and Karen Loveland.
"Physical Environment." Dynamic Aquaria: Building Living Ecosystems. San Diego: Academic, 1991. N. pag. Print.]
And yet this most unlikeliest of coincidences happens to be true, for the Great Salt Lake’s salt composition is nearly identical to seawater, differing only in that its waters are slightly enriched in potassium and depleted in calcium compared to the ocean, as can be seen in the table (potassium was omitted in the chart because there was no potassium concentration data for the Bear River).
In fact, the salt composition of the Great Salt Lake is more similar to the seawater than it is to the very river, namely the Bear River, that feeds it, and is supposedly the source of its salts!
A Lake of Seawater
This chart weakens the currently accepted theory in two different ways . First, I have demonstrated earlier that an endorheic lake and the river which feeds it should have similar salt profiles, and this is clearly not the case. Secondly, I have also demonstrated that it is extremely unlikely that the Great Salt Lake, an endorheic lake, and seawater should have similar salt profiles, provided that the currently accepted theory of the origin of the Great Salt Lake’s salts is correct .
The size of the shallow lake fluctuates due to evaporation. Salt on the dried ground at Great Salt Lake.
Therefore, one may conclude, that in all probability, the currently accepted explanation for the origin of the salts of the Great Salt Lake—namely that the salts have been eroded from the rocks and soils found in the lake’s watershed, and carried to the lake by the rivers that flow into it—is incorrect with a very high probability, for one can only maintain that it is true by resorting to coincidence (which is by definition of very low probability).
Since there is only one other point of origin of these salts, namely the ocean, one is compelled to admit the possibility that these salts originated from the ocean. But this must mean that the ocean, at one point in the past, penetrated the Great Salt Lake’s watershed, which is located almost 600 miles away from the nearest ocean (the Pacific Ocean). Perhaps the impressions of the American settlers who first cast eyes on the Great Salt Lake, and thought that it was the work of God, were correct after all.
