Anunnaki Underground Base? The mysterious entrances into Romania and Iraq
Anunnaki Underground Base? The mysterious entrances into Romania and Iraq
Underground military base theorists and researchers appear to have stumbled upon an Anunnaki underground base. And the worst of it is that the Pentagon seems to have discovered it previously.
Mount Bucegi Gallery.
Much has been said that there are hidden extraterrestrial bases in the world . However, is it possible that some Anunnaki underground bases still exist ?
One of the most important bases on the planet could possess Anunnaki technology. On Mount Bucegi , Romania, it could have been the place where Enki’s army , among other deities from ancient Mesopotamia, took refuge .
Anunnaki Underground Base
Many of the controllers who have been dedicated to the mapping and geolocation of underground military bases have heard of this base. It appears to be shielded by electromagnetic technology , which creates “invisibility.”
However, in 2002, the existence of a hole in the vicinity of Mount Bucegi was discovered. This strange cavity penetrated the interior of the rocky set.
The entrance immediately led to a perfectly made tunnel , so the experts assured that it must have been artificially manufactured .
This characteristic, added to the possible electromagnetic field that surrounds it and the satellite images, suggests that it is an underground base .
According to theorists, this base was first discovered by the Pentagon , who detected the wall of energy and the frequency of vibration around the “entrance.”
Furthermore, its characteristics are similar to another underground base discovered in Baghdad, Iraq, just before the start of the ” Iraq War .”
It is believed that this was the real reason why US troops invaded the country, and that others had seized it without the people of Iraq having knowledge of its existence.
Unknown technology found in the underground base in Iraq.
Unknown technology
The United States Army was able to penetrate the defense of the base thanks to an advanced unknown weaponry carried by two Pentagon generals , together with the adviser to the United States Presidency.
Only the entrance to this underground base was about 60 meters from the electromagnetic safety wall.
According to the theorists, weapons with a very advanced technology for humans were found inside . Plasma beams and machinery capable of penetrating beyond the earth’s crust at high speed.
After passing through the gigantic tunnel, they entered a large gallery that, despite having disconnected the energy barrier, could be seen with great clarity.
The other barrier that was still active, right in front of the first, began to emit even greater energy . The officers continued to descend, noticing 2 huge stone carvings , facing each other, about 2 meters high.
In them there were cuneiform writings, such as the one found in the Cueva de los Tayos or those of Lake Titicaca, only this was of a totally unknown origin.
This, according to the officials, presented proto-Sumerian characteristics, very similar to those found in the Pokotia Monolith.
It is possible that this underground base, along with the one found on Mount Bucegi, are actually underground bases used by the ancient Anunnaki kings during a millennial war. This theory could confirm the existence of ancient astronauts.
Huge fleet of UFOs flying near the International Space Station
Huge fleet of UFOs flying near the International Space Station
A camera on the International Space Station (ISS) captured an incredible array of unidentified objects near their position .
It all happened during a recent live broadcast from the ISS. And it occurred while the station was moving in an undetermined place on our planet.
As the fixed camera recorded the advance, hundreds of lights in formation can be seen, in an apparent direction towards Earth.
Several waves of UFO formations appeared this 2020. In February we were able to publish one, and another in May.
Records from the ISS live streaming camera as these objects passed by Earth.
And the images show that these groups of UFOs fly in large coordinated groups.
Some suggest that these UFO formations are reflections of city lights, but since the ISS circles Earth in about 93 minutes, we should see these kinds of lights every day. And it is not the case.
While there are many who believe that it could be a “fleet of extraterrestrial technology ships”, others indicate that it could be a flotilla of top secret United States ships.
More specifically the Space Force . The scope of this new “military force” would be to protect that country’s facilities in space, such as the satellites used for communication and surveillance.
Others offered further explanations.
They said it could be meteorites, and even Starlink satellites, sent by Elon Musk’s SpaceX , since since their launch in 2018 they have caused many people to mistake them for UFO sightings.
Why do these types of formations reappear? Are we being observed by hundreds of UFOs?

Alien Tech Could Cause 'Solar Explosion' That Might 'Wipe Out Life on Earth', Blogger Claims
The blogger suggested that the shapes in the video he brought up supposedly were “alien technology shooting around the sun to collect an as-yet-unknown particle of energy expelled by the solar explosion”.
A trio of UFOs were spotted passing by the Sun last month, says Scott C. Waring, a blogger with a penchant for drawing attention to various incidents that may or may not have been caused by supposed extraterrestrial civilisations.
Pointing at a YouTube video that was apparently taken thanks to the ESA/NASA Helioviewer Project, and which apparently depicts a "solar explosion", Waring argued that three vaguely rectangular shapes that briefly appear on screen are UFOs.
"These are UFOs... alien technology shooting around the sun to collect an as yet unknown particle of energy expelled by the solar explosion," he claimed.
The blogger even went on to speculate that this scene is “absolute proof that our sun is being mined by alien technology 24/7 non-stop and could inadvertently cause a solar explosion so big...that it could wipe out life on Earth within a few minutes."
He did not, however, elaborate on how exactly he arrived at this conclusion.

CONGRESS QUIETLY WANTS TO CREATE A NEW UFO OFFICE
CONGRESS QUIETLY WANTS TO CREATE A NEW UFO OFFICE
Two bills in Congress could expand the UAP task force, or set up a permanent office to study sightings of these unknown objects.
CONGRESS MAY TAKE STEPS TO RAMP UP INVESTIGATIONS OF UFOS— UAPs, in the new terminology — following a Department of Defense reportto Congress over the summer recognizing the reality of these “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,” but found no evidence of extraterrestrialinvolvement.
Sections of two proposed intelligence appropriation bills, H.R. 4350 (the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act in the House of Representatives) and S.2610 (the FY 22 Intelligence Authorization Act in the Senate) take different approaches to expand the work of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force.
Those hoping for a full-throated Congressional hunt for technologically advanced aliens of UFO lore may be disappointed, however. The bills appear driven more by entirely Earthly national security and safety concerns than little green men in hypersonic lozenge-shaped vessels.
In June, the UAP Task Force presented a report to Congress that covered 144 UAP sightings by military and other federal sources between 2004 and 2021. While the report found no evidence of aliens, it did note that “UAP clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to U.S. national security,” and that “Some UAP many be technologies deployed by China, Russia, another nation, or non-governmental entity.”
WHAT WOULD THE BILLS DO?
If the bill becomes law,Section 345 of S.2610 would require the entire intelligence community to share any information about UAPs with the task force and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center immediately. It would then mandate classified reports about any UAP events to Congress beginning 90 days after the act's passage and quarterly from then on.
Section 1652 of H.R. 4350 — a provision added by Democratic Congressman Ruben Gallego of Arizona — would establish a permanent office to study UAPs within the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
If the provision remains unchanged when the bill becomes law, it will charge the new office with creating a database for recording UAP incidents and “evaluating links between unidentified aerial phenomena and adversarial foreign governments, other foreign governments, or non-state actors,” and whether the incidents pose a threat. The House bill provision would also require reports to various Congressional Committees.
Gallego’s office did not respond to Inverse’s requests for comment.
Watch the Pentagon’s declassified UFO videos.
WHY IS CONGRESS INTERESTED IN UFOS?
After decades of official non-recognition of UAPs, 2017 saw leaked videos from naval aviators and a New York Times storythat brought the phenomena out of conspiracy theory and into the realm of sober national security interest. Pilots reporting seeing craft flying and maneuvering and seemingly impossible speeds near military aircraft was not a situation military brass could ignore.
In August 2020, the Pentagon created the UAP Task Force, and the Intelligence Authorization Act of 2020 mandated a report to Congress in 2021. The report, released in June, was only able to identify one of the 144 UAP sightings examined and determined it was a balloon.
The task force couldn’t explain the remaining 143 reports. And while the report concluded some of the sightings could have resulted from instrument failure or pilots making a mistake, more than half of the sightings were confirmed by multiple sensors to be real objects rather than phantoms.
WHAT’S NEXT
Both the House and Senate bills have been introduced, but have yet to be voted on by their respective chambers. The House bill has passed out of committee and been placed on the Congressional calendar. If the bills pass intact, their contents will need to be reconciled between the two houses before going on to President Joseph Biden.
We’ve read and heard plenty about the so-called Tic Tac UFO encounter in 2004 between pilots from the USS Nimitz and a pill-shaped unidentified aerial phenomena whose performance defied current technology and whose identity has not been confirmed, despite both media and Pentagon investigations. It’s a safe bet that most people believe there’s much, much more to this story. For example, although it was kept hidden from the American public for over a decade, a current member of Congress recently revealed when he learned about it … he was there when it happened!
“It was about 100 miles or so away from me, so I heard a lot of the communications going on.”
Meet Mike Garcia, a US congressional representative from California. Garcia was first elected to Congress in 2020, so he obviously wasn’t there when the USS Nimitz UFO incident occurred. Where was he? According to an interview in Roll Call, in 2004 Naval Officer Mike Garcia was an F/A-18 pilot from the USS Nimitz. Not only that, Garcia admits he was in the air at the time of the encounter, 100 miles away, and listened in on the conversations between those pilots and the ship.
“It was one of those things that you couldn’t believe it when you heard it. The guys who actually saw it weren’t allowed to talk about it until just recently, so we couldn’t even ask questions.”
Garcia, fresh from a six-month deployment as part of the 2003 Operation Iraqi Freedom, was an experienced F/A-18 pilot. A graduate of the US Naval Academy, he eventually accrued over 1,400 hours of operational flight time over the course of nearly 20 years of military service. In other words, he sounds like the perfect representative of Congress – both literally and figuratively – to head up the latest UAP commission, keep the public informed, keep Congress informed, etc. And yet, he seems to have slipped through the cracks like a wet Tic Tac. Roll Call tried to pin him down on the Nimitz incident.
“I’m intrigued by it. I don’t know that it’s extraterrestrial — I do believe it’s man-made. And I’m not going to presuppose where it comes from, but I hope it’s American-made. It goes to show that we’ve got to continue to invest in our military technologies and not take it for granted that we are the only superpower out there. We have peer threats out there nowadays, not just near-peer threats. China and Russia have advanced capabilities that we don’t even know about.”
F/A-18 Hornet
Should we really believe that an experienced fighter pilot who was in the air during the Nimitz incident who is now a member of the US Congress has not used that position to find out what those Tic Tacs really are identified as in the secret files we all know exist somewhere in the X-files of the government and the Pentagon?
“I do think it would be an amazing coincidence if we were the only life forms in this universe. That’s why we’ve got to invest in space programs to start answering some of these questions we all have and maybe one day see the extension of God’s creations on other planets.”
It doesn’t take long after they’re elected for members of Congress to memorize the pat answers to tough questions. Representative Mike Garcia may be a good congressman, a good family man and a good guy – but he doesn’t appear to be a good inside man for UFO disclosure. Why has he waited until now to reveal his own experience in the incident? To paraphrase Democratic vice-presidential candidate Senator Lloyd Bentsen to Republican vice-presidential candidate Senator Dan Quayle in a debate in 1988:
We knew House Speaker Harry Reid. Harry Reid is a friend of ours. Congressman Garcia … you’re no Harry Reid.

Watch this video from an official NASA site called Helioviewer. During a solar explosion several large, well defined objects shoot past the sun. These objects are huge and have been seen a lot on Helioviewer, but for some unknown reason...NASA scientists ignore them. These are UFOs...alien technology shooting around the sun to collect a yet unknown particle of energy expelled by the solar explosion. This is absolute proof that our sun is being mined by alien technology 24/7 non stop and could inadvertently cause a solar explosion so big...that it could wipe out life on Earth within a few minutes.
Elon musk, creator and CEO of SpaceX has boldly announced on Twitter this week that, "I'm not saying there are UFOs...but there are UFOs!" Elon Musk is Americas Golden Child who is given free ride informations, data, designs and schematics of the most top secret alien tech that DARPA has to offer and leaks it slowly into the public domain. This time he leaked something different...something the US government doesn't want to admit or make a big deal about...that UFO do exist. Elon Musk has the highest tech cameras attached to every satellite, orbiter and rocket he sends into space...not to mention he sent a freaking Tesla Roadster in orbit around our sun with half a dozen live feed cameras on it. This means Elon has seen and recorded dozens of close up raw footage of UFOs over the years. Raw footage that he has not yet admitted to owning and not yet released, but is 100% in possession of. Musk being the rebel he is...may see the day when he says enough is enough and he may release some of that raw footage for the world to see. Thats how the world changes, from rebels who do things differently from all the rest.
It Happened Again, UFO passing fighter jets during air show in England
It Happened Again, UFO passing fighter jets during air show in England
This is the second time within three weeks that a high-speed UFO passing fighter jets during an air show.
On August 28, 2021, during an international air show in Thamesford, Ontario, Canada, a fast UFO flew past the Blue Angels and now on September 19, 2021, a similar incident occurred when the Red Arrows performed an air show in Chorley, England.
As with the UFO in Canada, this UFO in England also has no wings or visible propulsion.
What is going on? Why do these objects appear during air shows?

ENORME KANALEN ONDER DE NOORDZEE VOOR HET EERST GEDETAILLEERD IN BEELD GEBRACHT

De kanalen – wel tien keer breder dan de Theems – voerden ooit smeltwater af en kunnen meer inzicht geven in hoe het hedendaagse gletsjers zal vergaan.
We weten dat gletsjers op dit moment in razend tempo wegkwijnen. Maar wat er precies onder deze enorme bewegende ijsmassa’s gebeurt, laat zich alleen maar raden. Daar komt mogelijk nu verandering in. Wetenschappers hebben namelijk spectaculaire beelden gemaakt van het bijzondere landschap in de Noordzee. En dit landschap bestaat uit enorme kanalen die zich vormden onder de ijskappen die duizenden tot miljoenen jaren geleden een groot deel van Europa bedekten.
Nieuwe beelden Wetenschappers zijn al een tijdje op de hoogte van de enorme gletsjergeulen in de Noordzee. In een nieuwe studie besloten onderzoekers ze echter beter te bestuderen. Met behulp van 3D seismische reflectietechnologie – vergelijkbaar met MRI – brachten ze deze kanalen in ongekend detail in beeld.
De 3D seismische reflectiegegevens vergeleken met eerder verzamelde seismische data uit de regio.

Meer over 3D seismische reflectietechnologie
Bij 3D seismische reflectietechnologie wordt er gebruikt gemaakt van geluidsgolven om gedetailleerde, driedimensionale beelden te vervaardigen. De methode is met name handig om oude landschappen, die diep onder het aardoppervlak begraven liggen, te bestuderen. Op een vergelijkbare manier als MRI het menselijk lichaam in beeld brengt, kunnen wetenschappers met behulp van 3D seismische reflectietechnologie onbegaanbare landschappen visualiseren. Zelfs objecten en structuren die onder honderden meters sediment begraven liggen, kunnen op dergelijke beelden zichtbaar worden.
Uit de nieuwe beelden blijkt onder andere dat de kanalen zeker tien keer breder zijn dan de Engelse rivier de Theems. Deze enorme kanalen, die honderden meters onder de zeebodem in de Noordzee begraven liggen, zijn overblijfselen van enorme rivieren, zo stellen de onderzoekers. Deze rivieren ontstonden waarschijnlijk toen oude ijskappen smolten als gevolg van stijgende luchttemperaturen en voerden lang geleden het smeltwater af.

Oorsprong De beelden vertellen ons dus het verhaal van hoe de tot voor kort raadselachtige kanalen het levenslicht zagen. “De oorsprong was al meer dan een eeuw een onopgeloste zaak,” zegt onderzoeker James Kirkham. Maar delicate kenmerken laten nu zien hoe water door de kanalen (onder het ijs) bewoog en zelfs hoe het ijs wegsmolt. Bovendien tonen de beelden aan hoe het ijs en de kanalen elkaar wederzijds beïnvloedden.
Inzicht Dit inzicht is heel belangrijk willen we beter gaan begrijpen hoe het hedendaagse gletsjers zal vergaan. “Het is erg moeilijk om te observeren wat er tegenwoordig onder grote gletsjers gebeurt,” vertelt onderzoeker Kelly Hogan. “En dan met name hoe bewegend water en sediment de ijsstroom beïnvloeden. Wel weten we dat dit hele belangrijke factoren zijn voor de manier waarop het ijs zich gedraagt. Als gevolg hiervan is het uiterst relevant om de oude kanalen als voorbeeld te nemen zodat we beter kunnen begrijpen hoe hedendaags ijs zal reageren op veranderende omstandigheden in een opwarmend klimaat.”
Door in het verleden te duiken, krijgen we dus ook een steeds beter beeld van de toekomst. Want de oude kanalen geven belangrijke aanwijzingen over hoe hedendaagse ijskappen zullen reageren op klimaatverandering. “De ontdekking zal ons helpen de voortdurende terugtrekking van huidige gletsjers op Antarctica en Groenland beter te begrijpen,” concludeert Kirkham. “Zoals voetafdrukken in het zand, laten gletsjers een afdruk achter op het land waarop ze stromen. En onze nieuwe geavanceerde gegevens verschaffen nu belangrijk inzicht in de verdere aftakeling van gletsjers.”

Early Mars Experienced Volcanic Supereruptions, Reseachers Say
Early Mars Experienced Volcanic Supereruptions, Reseachers Say
Using high-resolution images fromNASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, planetary scientists have discovered 4-billion-year-old layered deposits containing minerals consistent with altered volcanic ash throughout a region of northern Mars called Arabia Terra. They estimate that the volcanic ash observed in this region is the result of between 1,000 and 2,000 individual explosive eruptions over 500 million years.
This image, acquired by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on October 1, 2020, shows several craters in Arabia Terra filled with layered rock.
Image credit: NASA / Molly Wasser.
“Several large and deep craters in western Arabia Terra, Mars are thought to be explosive calderas, a type of volcano capable of producing supereruptions,” said Dr. Patrick Whelley of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and colleagues.
“If these craters are calderas, vast layers of volcanic ash should be common in Arabia Terra.”
“While layered deposits have been observed previously in Arabia, until now, no deposits have been associated with the suggested calderas.”
In the new research, Dr. Whelley and colleagues used images from MRO’s Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars to identify the minerals in Arabia Terra.
Looking in the walls of canyons and craters from hundreds to thousands of km from the calderas, where the ash would have been carried by wind, they identified volcanic minerals turned to clay by water, including montmorillonite, imogolite, and allophane.
They then made three-dimensional topographic maps of the Arabia Terra region.

By laying the mineral data over the topographic maps of the canyons and craters analyzed, they could see in the mineral-rich deposits that the layers of ash were very well preserved — instead of getting jumbled by winds and water, the ash was layered in the same way it would have been when it was fresh.
“That’s when I realized this isn’t a fluke, this is a real signal,” said Dr. Jacob Richardson, also from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
“We’re actually seeing what was predicted and that was the most exciting moment for me.”
Using data from an earlier study, the researchers calculated the number of eruptions needed to produce the thickness of ash they found.
“It turned out there were thousands of eruptions,” Dr. Whelley said.
One remaining question is how a planet can have only one type of volcano littering a region.
On Earth, volcanoes capable of supereruptions — the most recent erupted 76,000 years ago in Sumatra, Indonesia — are dispersed around the globe and exist in the same areas as other volcano types.
Mars, too, has many other types of volcanoes, including the biggest volcano in the solar system called Olympus Mons.
Olympus Mons is 100 times larger by volume than Earth’s largest volcano of Mauna Loa in Hawaii, and is known as a shield volcano, which drains lava down a gently sloping mountain.
Arabia Terra so far has the only evidence of explosive volcanoes on Mars.
It’s possible that supereruptive volcanoes were concentrated in regions on Earth but have been eroded physically and chemically or moved around the globe as continents shifted due to plate tectonics.
These types of explosive volcanoes also could exist in regions of Jupiter’s moon Io or could have been clustered on Venus.
Whatever the case may be, the authors hope Arabia Terra will teach scientists something new about geological processes that help shape planets and moons.
“People are going to read our paper and go, ‘How? How could Mars do that? How can such a tiny planet melt enough rock to power thousands of super eruptions in one location?’ I hope these questions bring about a lot of other research,” Dr. Richardson said.
A paper on the findings were published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

When purchasing a new phone or tablet, it is common practice to select the best technology that fits your needs within the available budget. This is also the strategy adopted by our research team at the Galileo Project, a new initiative to image unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) like those reported by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to the U.S. Congress on June 25, 2021.
To my amusement, I recently came across an online retailerthat would allow us to “add to cart” a one-meter telescope for half a million dollars. Fortunately, cheaper telescopes are all that is needed for surveying the sky at the proper resolution to identify UAP.
Under typical weather conditions, Earth’s atmosphere is opaque to infrared light beyond a distance of about 10 kilometers or less. Resolving a feature the size of a cell phone on the surface of a UAP at that distance requires a telescope diameter on the order of 10 centimeters. Having a few such telescopes on a given site will allow us to monitor the motion of an object in three dimensions. These telescopes could be supplemented by a radar system that would distinguish a physical object in the sky from a weather pattern or a mirage.
If UAP are solid objects, they should heat up as they rub against air at high speed. The surfaces of objects that move in air faster than sound, such as supersonic airplanes or space rockets, are heated by hundreds of degrees. I calculated that the infrared glow of fast objects above a meter in size, supplemented by the heat from shockwaves in the air around them or an engine they carry, should be detectable with infrared sensors on telescopes out to the desired distance.
The data from a system of optical, infrared or radio telescopes will be fed to state-of-the-art video cameras linked to software that will filter out objects of interest for the telescope to track. If a bird flies above a common astronomical observatory, it will be ignored. The Galileo-Scopes will track it. Human-made drones or airplanes might be of great interest to some residents of Washington, D.C., but they are as uninteresting as birds for the Galileo Project.
My student Amir Siraj and I calculated that the number of UAP described in the ODNI report corresponds to about one object per hundred thousand square kilometers per year (with large uncertainties up to a factor of 100). This is well below the rate of unidentified objects from cell phone photographs or civilian eyewitness testimonies, implying that many of these unofficial sightings may have mundane explanations. Millions of cell phones with millimeter-size apertures are inferior to what Galileo proposes: a much smaller number of optimized telescope systems with apertures 100 times larger that are designed to rapidly track UAP.
The iceberg of classified reports‑of which only the tip has been exposed publicly‑may contain higher-quality images than those released to the public. Galileo’s goal is to capture new crisp images with better instruments than have ever been used by civilians. The full data set from the project will be open, whereas much of the data associated with the ODNI report is classified because it was obtained by government-owned sensors. Because the sky is not classified, Galileo-Scopes will operate just like common astronomical telescopes‑except that they will focus on nearby objects. We aim to change the intellectual landscape of UAP studies by bringing them into the mainstream of credible scientific inquiry.
In my book Extraterrestrial, published half a year ago, I argued that bringing the search for technological relics into the mainstream of astronomy would attract new funds and young talent to science. In recent weeks, this forecast became a reality. The Galileo Project has attracted millions of dollars from private donors and thousands of commitments from volunteers who offered to contribute their time and resources. Given the low incidence of UAP reported by ODNI, however, the project will need hundreds of telescopes to find UAP over a few years. That represents an order of magnitude more funding than we have collected so far.
With good enough data, extraterrestrial technologies can be distinguished from terrestrial technologies or natural objects. The Galileo Project will attempt to obtain this data from both UAP and unusual interstellar objects like `Oumuamua.
If prehistoric cave dwellers were to discover a cell phone, they would initially assume it to be a shiny rock of a type never seen before. But this might be the beginning of their learning experience. By pressing buttons on this weird rock, these early humans would record voices and images.
Similarly, the strange `Oumuamua has been interpreted as a new type of asteroid, such as a frozen chunk of pure hydrogen or nitrogen. But what if high-resolution images of such a weird object revealed buttons? It could encourage us to learn more by landing on the surface, just as the OSIRIS-REx craft recently landed on the asteroid Bennu. Here’s hoping that astronomers will be open-minded enough to check.

There was a time when humans had not yet invented numbers but needed ways to count and measure, so they used whatever they had available – rocks, sticks, hands, etc. Numbers and measurement standards made the tasks easier but less fun. There was a time much more recently when humans wondered at an invention called a “calculator,” which took the effort out of standard arithmetic. However, it still needed the operator to do substantial work to be practical. For example, a calculator can help you calculate how much a tube of toothpaste costs per ounce, but it’s no help figuring out how many brushes your family of four will get per tube. For that you need Omni Calculator – a Polish startup which has brought practicality and fun to counting, measuring and figuring with the release of over 2,000 specialty calculators. There’s one that will answer your toothpaste dilemma, another to figure out your bikini size, one to calculate the benefits of switching from driving to work to cycling, a new fun one forcalculating in weird units … and at least 1997 more!
“In Omni Calculator, we knock down each and every obstacle that stands between you and an informed decision. We provide the numbers you need, making calculations fast, easy, and fun. A world driven by rational decisions is a better place. It’s a world where we don’t waste resources as much, believe nonsense a bit less, and don’t mistake opinions for facts. It’s the world we want to help building.”
Put down that book — there’s a better way
If the name Omni Calculator sounds familiar, it may be from its UFO Travel Calculator, which estimated those in famous Tic Tac UFOs to weigh more than 47,000 pounds (21,320 kg) with a span of 44.6 ft (13.6 m) and a speed of more than 11,800 mph — allowing one to travel from London to San Francisco (5,351 miles) in 27 minutes. Or more recently when a number of media sites directed Americans trying to figure out their Child Tax Credit to Omni ‘s Child Tax Credit Calculator. Then there’s the Toilet Paper Calculator that everyone should have used to determine exactly how much their family needs instead of creating a massive shortage last year. That’s what the founder of Omni would call a “rational decision.”
In 2011, Mateusz Mucha built a web calculator which could calculate in any direction, without a fixed input or output. He added a mobile app Percentage Calculator, made it available online and it’s been downloaded over 4 million times to date. Deciding that “everyday math problems are a universal struggle,” he started Omni Calculator in 2014. By 2019, it had twenty-four employees and it continues to grow because everyone who uses one of these calculators thinks of another they need – and Omni is ready to build it.
Many of the cool calculators from Omni are of the kind you never thought you needed – and now you can’t do without. A Chilled Drink Calculator to determine how long you need to keep your drink in the fridge to reach its optimal temperature. An Addiction Calculator to figure out how much shorter your life will be if that chilled drink contains booze. A Snowman Calculator to design the perfect Frosty. A Tree Value Calculator to figure out your tree’s net worth. A Crickets Chirping Thermometer to tell the temperature by listening to those annoying bugs. A Dog Size Calculator to estimate the adult size of your puppy. A Plant Spacing Calculator to help plan your garden. And then there’s the latest Weird Units Calculator that makes conversions from standard unit types (meters, kilos, minutes, etc.) to weird ones like football fields, cats, human pregnancies, candy bars and many others.
Can you help me, Omni?
What we need at this point is a calculator to determine what percentage of Omni’s calculators we’ve listed so far. Better yet, how about one that could look at your lifestyle and pick the right calculator for your need. OK, that may be too Big Brother for a company whose mission is to create a world driven by rational decisions. One the company makes is hiring specialists, academics and experienced polymaths from around the world – because every country has different problems.

From the ever-growing “What could possibly go wrong?” file comes word that a group of scientists have proposed a way to fight global warming by making clouds whiter and brighter. No … this isn’t funded by a laundry detergent company, although that’s not a bad idea. They claim brighter clouds will reflect more sunlight, leaving the Earth cooler. Before you start wondering if this involves ‘chemtrails’, they’ve got an answer for that too. Is this the ‘holy grail’ of climate change solutions that doesn’t involve us humans changing our behavior, our pollution, our corporate profits or our politics?
“Led by University of Washington scientists, a team of researchers designed a program to explore marine cloud brightening as a mechanism for cooling climate while simultaneously providing insight about cloud-aerosol effects and their influence on climate.”
As long as it’s not making chemtrails …
The Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) project is led by University of Washington cloud-aerosol scientist Dr. Robert Wood, and was inspired by a real phenomenon – ships at sea emit exhaust particles (aerosols) which mix with sea salt particles and carry them up to stratocumulus clouds over the ocean, brightening them to levels that cool the ocean below and offset increased levels of CO2. Seen from satellites, these “ship tracks” look suspiciously like airplane contrails (see for yourself here), so the purpose of the MCB Project is to ‘sea salt’ these clouds from ships without harming the atmosphere … or humans.
Ship tracks off of western U.S. coast
The arguments in favor of ‘sea salting’ clouds starts with the fact that sea water is free and environmentally harmless when it falls back to Earth. Aerosolizing seawater from sea level would use far less energy than cloud seeding by aircraft, resulting in lower costs and less polluting emissions. On the downside, the researchers don’t really know what will happen when they increase the amount of “ship tracks” to levels needed to cool off hotspots like the coast of California, Chile or south-central Africa. To answer the “What could possibly go wrong?” question, the project will entail three phases: aerosol spray development and testing, aerosol process experiments, and cloud-brightening experiments. Each will e fully completed before moving to the next phase, and the project will end if they find out what could possibly go wrong.
What could possibly go wrong?
With California redwood forests in danger of being destroyed by wildfires and coastal coral reefs in danger of dying from heat stress, the need for controlling climate change is urgent. Could a quick fix like “sea salting” clouds give us humans enough time to enact major changes … or will it give us an excuse to kick the climate change ball to another generation?

I Caught Thousands of Objects Around The Sun (UFO SIGHTING)
Using a Nikon P1000 with a solar filter I have caught thousands of objects passing close to our sun or in the direction of the sun. Now what I suspect is that the sun is illuminating these objects these UFO's if you will so we can see them as they pass by? Tell me what you think? ___________________________________________________________ Source of video : Terry's Theories using a Nikon P1000 with a solar filter.

Eerste SpaceX-capsule met enkel ‘ruimtetoeristen’ veilig en wel teruggekeerd
De SpaceX-capsule met vier Amerikaanse ruimtetoeristen aan boord is in de nacht van zaterdag op zondag, net na 01.00 uur zoals gepland, in de Atlantische Oceaan geplonsd. Daarmee is de eerste ruimtemissie met aan boord louter niet-professionele astronauten met succes afgesloten.
Brazilian observerJosé Luis Pereira captured a bright flash on the solar system's largest planet Monday night (Sept. 13), memorializing the fiery death of a space rock high in the Jovian atmosphere.
"I am an assiduous planetary observer," Pereira told Space.com in a written statement Tuesday (Sept. 14). "When the planets Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are in opposition, I try to make images in every possible night of clear skies. Especially [of] the planet Jupiter, my favorite."
On Sunday (Sept. 12) and Monday, Pereira set up his equipment in São Caetano do Sul, in the southeastern Brazilian state of São Paulo. As on many other nights, he aimed to photograph Jupiter and capture videos for the DeTeCt program, which seeks to spot and characterize impacts on the giant planet.
The weather didn't look like it would cooperate on Monday night, but Pereira persevered, collecting a series of 25 Jupiter videos, with no time gap between them.
"To my surprise, in the first video I noticed a different glow on the planet, but I didn't pay much attention to it as I thought it might be something related to the parameters adopted, and I continued watching normally," Pereira wrote. "So as not to stop the captures in progress for fear that weather conditions would worsen, I didn't check the first video."
He fed the videos into the DeTeCt program and then went to bed.
"I checked the result only on the morning of the 14th, when the program alerted me to the high probability of impact and verified that there was indeed a record in the first video of the night," Pereira wrote.
He then sent the information to Marc Delcroix of the French Astronomical Society, who confirmed that Pereira had indeed recorded footage of an impact that occurred Monday at 6:39 p.m. EDT (2239 GMT).
"For me it was a moment of great emotion, as I have been looking for a record of [such an] event for many years," Pereira wrote.
His observing setup consists of the following, he added: a Newtonian Telescope 275mm f/5,3 with a QHY5III462C camera, plus a Televue Powermate 5x (f/26,5) eyepiece and an IRUV cut filter.

A big, frequently battered planet
Because it orbits close to the main asteroid belt and features a powerful gravitational pull, Jupiter gets pummeled fairly often. In July 1994, for example, fragments of the broken-apart Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 famously slammed into Jupiter, creating big bruises in the planet's thick atmosphere that lasted for months.
Those scars opened a rare window into Jupiter below the cloud tops, and professional astronomers took advantage of the opportunity. They studied the impact sites with a variety of powerful telescopes, fleshing out our understanding of the gas giant's atmospheric composition.
Another high-profile smashup occurred 15 years later, when an impactor punched a scar the size of the Pacific Ocean into Jupiter's swirling air. Like the Shoemaker-Levy 9 lesions, that blemish lingered long enough for professional astronomers to mobilize.
But it doesn't look like they'll get that chance with the newly observed impact.
"The site is clearly resolved and no visible scar was left (just as with previous impact flash events.) The object was probably too small to reach the deeper atmosphere," astrophotographer Damian Peach wrote on Twitter Wednesday, where he posted a gorgeous photo of a healed-up Jupiter taken an hour after it was hit.

Jose Luis Pereira was using his telescope and recording Jupiter when he caught something fantastic. A huge glow suddenly appears and then is gone on the surface of the planet. This could be a meteor, but I see no sign of a meteor incoming, no tail, no glowing from hitting Jupiters atmosphere. Thats really odd to me and tells me that this is not a meteor from space. However I do notice that the explosion seems to come from the planet itself. I believe that an alien bomb of some type has detonated, or some high tech energy buildings similar to our nuclear reactors, but far more advanced with an energy we cannot yet comprehend has exploded. This tells me that Jupiter is inhabited and the clouds around it could very well be from such detonations across its surface. Are they are war? Or are the detonations an accident? Only one way to find out...is to travel there.

UFO Fleet During Storm Over Montpellier, France Sept 16, 2021, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Sept 16, 2021 Location of sighting: Montpellier, France Source: Email report
This was sent to me this weekend. A lighting storm began over Montpellier, France on Sept 16th and someone went outside and noticed some glowing lights flying in the shape of a figure eight or...the infinity symbol. The lights are not made by spotlights, which would not be active during an electrical storm. Each light is different in shape and slightly different movement.
I have experienced a similar encounter once in Taiwan. These are energy entities...which can see people who are on the ground and they are highly intelligent. They are visible sometimes at night, especially on overcast nights. Here the entities are absorbing the lightning energy...almost feasting on it, as one would food. I think this helps them stay active. This video is 100% proof that energy entities do exist and they move above our cities freely.
