UFO Landing Ring Near Great Pyramids, Egypt, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Landing Ring Near Great Pyramids, Egypt, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: Dec 2021 Location of discovery: Egypt
Google map coordinates: 27°34'41"N 32°56'42"E
There is a huge ring in the mountains in Egypt, you know...the kind of rings that are left in farmers fields after a UFO lands in it. That kind of ring. The ring measures 1.6km across and looks worn as if the UFO had sat there for a very long time. There is also a thick trail going down to the lower ground area, and it looks like it was used to exit and enter the UFO that was landed there. The ring sits 300km from the the Great Pyramids and may have been the resting location of a UFO that was responsible for helping to build the pyramids themselves. Even with todays technology and machine, we could not and have never built anything like it. This ring is 100% proof that aliens helped build the Great Pyramids in ancient Egypt.
Hey I was watching the live cam of Hualien Lake which is in south of Taiwan, when I noticed a white tictac UFO shooting overhead. It wasn't a bird because it wasn't flapping wings. It wasn't a drone, it was too big and moving too fast. This object was easy to see on the cam since it had the green trees along the hillside behind it. The lake area was cloudy and rainy at that time with some very unusual large clouds at the center of the video. These two large clouds do look like they may be cloaked UFOs. The shapes are very odd. UFOs are all around us, we just have to put in a little effort to catch them. Aliens in Taiwan...yeah I knew that already.
Strange lights moving through the skies over Las Vegas and El Centro
Strange lights moving through the skies over Las Vegas and El Centro
Unknown bright object slowly hovering over a mountain near Las Vegas.
Two unknown spheres in the sky over El Centro, California, then the first sphere ejects several smaller orbs.
Two unknown objects staying the same distance apart, traveling east to west over Middleton, Massachusetts, there was no contrail, no engines, no tail or wings, and no sound.
These bright unidentified flying objects were caught on tape over Madrid, Spain on 10th December 2021.
Witness report:
This was a crazy thing, they just were there watching us, it was pretty confuse but it has no other explanation, no drones nor satellites have this movement even lights to point to the earth
Australia UFO sighting: “This shape shifting UFO is the coolest thing i’ve seen or recorded”
Australia UFO sighting: “This shape shifting UFO is the coolest thing i’ve seen or recorded”
Here’s one interesting daytime UFO sighting video from Figtree, an inner western suburb of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. This was filmed on 17th October 2021.
Witness report:
The object was changing shape as you can see in the video, but also if you can slow down the video enough you will see there are other objects (black dots)flying around the main UFO….. It appears to look like mercury moving and shape shifting in a fluid way so to speak, if never seen anything like this ever and I cant believe I caught it on camera.. The object changes from a blob shape to a donut shape within seconds then when it gets closer to the tree it turns into a ball looking thing with legs hanging down and it looked quite ominous..
Among the many, many U̳F̳O̳ encounters out there, some tend to be more compelling than others. Among these are those that come from highly respected and seasoned professionals, chief among them pilots. These are experienced observers of the skies who have been up there in the clouds and know what they should expect to see, but sometimes something materializes for which their training and experience have not prepared them for. There have been many reports of airplane pilot reports of U̳F̳O̳s, but there is also a subspecies of such cases, and those are the reports given by helicopter pilots. Here we will look at a selection of cases of helicopter U̳F̳O̳ encounters in which the U̳F̳O̳ was not only seen, but also actually pursued.
In November of 1973, Army Reserve helicopter pilot Capt. Lawrence Coyne, of the 316th Medical Detachment stationed at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, in the U.S. state of Ohio, was flying in the sky with four others over Mansfield on their way back from Columbus to their base in Cleveland at approximately 11:00 p.m., when they had an experience that would change their lives forever. As they flew towards their destination, a mysterious red light appeared on the eastern horizon, and was first spotted by Coyne’s crew chief, Sgt. Robert Yanacsek. The unidentified object seemed to be headed right at them, forcing him to take evasive action, and Coyne would say of what happened to the Mansfield News Journal:
The light was traveling in excess of 600 knots. It came from the horizon to our aircraft in about 10 seconds. We were on a collision course. At 1,700 feet I braced myself for the impact with the other craft. It was coming from our right side. I was scared. There had been so little time to respond. The thing was terrifically fast. We looked up and saw it stopped right over us. It had a big, gray metallic-looking hull about 60 feet long. It was shaped like an airfoil or a streamlined fat cigar. There was a red light on the front. The leading edge glowed red a short distance back from the nose. There was a center dome. A green light at the rear reflected on the hull. I had made no attempt to pull up. All controls were set for a 20-degree dive. Yet we had climbed from 1,700 to 3,500 feet with no power in a couple of seconds with no g-forces or other noticeable strains.
We went into a maneuver, a controlled free fall. We dropped about 2,000 feet. It took just a couple of seconds. I remember looking up through the ceiling and I saw a white light moving over top of us. I followed it to the left horizon where it disappeared. Red navigational lights aren’t located in the front of an aircraft. That’s what was moving toward us. I don’t know what it was. I had to file an official report in detail to the Army on this thing.
The bizarre sighting would be documented on the ground as well, and is considered to be a very reliable case. Moving ahead in years, in June of 2008, a strange series of events played out in the skies above a defense base near Cardiff, Wales. According to news reports, a three-member police team was on routine maneuvers near St Athan RAF base when they spotted a low-flying object described as “flying saucer-shaped and circled by flashing lights.” The anomalous object allegedly began to speed towards them, and fearing an imminent collision, the pilot took evasive maneuvers, managing to tilt out of the way as the craft streaked past. The helicopter then apparently gave chase. Whatever the object was, it was reported as being under intelligent control, dipping, rising, speeding up and slowing down, as if toying with the helicopter in hot pursuit of it. The crew reportedly chased it as far as the English Channel, but had to abort the effort when low fuel forced them to return to base. The story hit several news publications at the time, including The Telegraph and The Sun, but considering the latter is a tabloid there was some skepticism to the report. However, South Wales Police would later confirm the incident, saying in a statement:
We can confirm the Air Support Unit sighted an unusual aircraft. This was reported to the relevant authorities for their investigation.
From 2014, we have an incident involving a Chilean Navy helicopter on a routine daytime patrol mission flying north along the Chilean coast, west of Santiago. The navy captain and technician aboard the chopper sighted what they described as a “flat, elongated structure, white with a semi-oval shape on the horizontal axis” from a range of about 40 miles, and closed in on it as they unsuccessfully tried to make radio contact with the unidentified object. The object was visible hovering in the clouds for a full nine minutes, although it always kept its distance from the approaching chopper. The object was reported to the ground, but it remained invisible to radar. During the nine minutes the object was visible, the helicopter took video footage with a commercial grade WESCAM MX-15 HD Forward Looking Infra-Red camera, which was declassified and released in 2017 to much debate and speculation by the public. It has been widely considered to be of very high quality, and the Chilean government has confirmed that it is indeed authentic. Expert analysis has failed to find any definitive explanation, and General Ricardo Bermudez, director of the Chilean government agency CEFAA, which investigates U̳F̳O̳ sightings, has said:
I was very impressed by these witnesses. They were highly trained professionals with many years’ experience, and they were absolutely certain that they could not explain what they saw. We do not know what it was, but we do not know what it was not.
In 2016, there is the case of a window cleaner by the name of Darren Cooper, who was at his home in Southampton when he spotted in the sky a strange object that looked like a “dark ring,” which hovered silently in the air and looked like no kind of aircraft he had ever seen. It was so anomalous and weird that he decided to run to grab his camcorder to get footage of the odd sight. He would say of the object:
It’s most certainly not a balloon because the wind would have made it act like a balloon and gave it more of a wobble or speed it up or made it move erratically but there were no movements like that at all. I thought it could have been a drone because there are so many of them about now but this thing continued to glide off into the distance. Before jumping to conclusions I ran back inside to grab my camcorder.
He would film the object briefly before it moved off into the distance. The situation would get stranger when just a few minutes later a mysterious, black unmarked helicopter appeared then allegedly began to give chase. Cooper would record footage of this as well, and says of the bizarre scene that transpired after he began filming the object in the sky:
It (the U̳F̳O̳) was a little higher in the sky when I first noticed the object but it seemed to change course and turn slightly around the houses while descending before eventually disappearing into the distance. Seconds later after I had gone back inside the house to take a closer look at the footage, I suddenly heard a helicopter overhead. So I grabbed the camcorder again and ran back outside to film the helicopter on the identical path of the U̳F̳O̳ filmed just minutes beforehand. The chopper was on the same path as the object in the sky. The helicopter was turning as if looking for something.
The helicopter was reported as being black and without any identifying markings, and it appeared to chase the object off into the distance and disappear from view. What was going on here? Even more recently is an incident from February of 2021, this time involving helicopters from both the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Tucson Police Department (TPD) in Arizona. According to the site, The War Zone, who got their hands on the TPD’s official Case Summary Report, it started when an unidentified object entered sensitive airspace west of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. TPD and CBP helicopters were immediately scrambled and sent to engage, after which the object flew into controlled airspace between the base and Tucson International Airport. It was described as having a single green light on its underbody, and as doing highly erratic maneuvers “in a manner to hamper the TPD crew’s ability to track it visually” as the helicopters doggedly pursued it. The object would rapidly go from an altitude of 10,000 feet to 14,000 feet and enter restricted military airspace during the chase, and it also demonstrated remarkable maneuverability, able to fly circles around the helicopters. The helicopters would go after the mysterious object for over an hour, before running low on fuel and losing it in the clouds at 12,000 feet. The official explanation would be that this was a “highly modified drone” and that its operator must have had a clear visual of the helicopters, but if it was a drone then it was able to operate at extreme range from any ground operator and behave like nothing they have ever seen before. The TDP pilot would say of it:
It was very sophisticated/specialized and able to perform like no other UAS (drone). It was obvious that the controller had clear sight of both the helicopters tracking it by the way it would orbit us and abruptly fly behind us and attempt to avoid our visual contact. Although we could not determine its exact size or characteristics we primarily tracked it by a single green non-blinking light illuminating from the craft. It is unknown what the intentions of the sophisticated UAS were during its time near the Air Force Base, or how far away its origination/destination spot was. It was quite clear though that this was not like any other UAS that we have experienced.
If this was a drone, then it would have to have been very advanced indeed, and beyond the capabilities of what is currently available. Not only was it able to deftly maneuver and operate at long range and high altitudes, but it was also much larger than any commercially available drones. How was it able to travel so far if it was being operated by a pilot on the ground, and how would its batteries be able to outlast the fuel of the helicopters following it? Was this really a drone, or was it perhaps something stranger? The War Zone would conclude its report by saying:
Despite these details coming to light in the case of the mysterious “highly modified drone” seen above Tucson, it remains unclear what exact type of configuration could allow for the flight characteristics described in this newly-obtained police report. It certainly seems as if its pilot was highly experienced given the fact that the drone was able to run circles around the helicopters at high altitudes and speeds. The drone must have also possessed the ability to supply its pilot with superior situational awareness in order to pull off such feats. The fact that the drone appeared to maintain a high-quality command and control link suggest some fairly sophisticated hardware above what is commonly found on consumer quadcopter or hexcopter configurations, even higher-end models. It’s also unlikely that this craft ran on battery power. Whatever it was, the flight characteristics the mysterious craft displayed above Tucson on the evening of February 9 are truly eyebrow-raising and only increase the bizarre and currently unexplained nature of the incident.
These are just some of many strange U̳F̳O̳ encounters involving helicopters and their pilots. These reports, like those of airline and military pilots, tend to carry some significant amount of weight considering the pedigree of the witnesses. After all, these are seasoned pilots who have been in the air and know what to expect up there, additionally facing possible ridicule and even dismissal for telling their stories. What would they have to gain from lying? There is also the fact that witnesses on the ground have often corroborated these reports, so we are left with quite a mysterious series of events. What was witnessed in cases such as these? Were these just misidentified aircraft, drones, atmospheric phenomena, or something else altogether? It remains unanswered, and these helicopter encounters only serve to add to the growing list of pilot encounters with the unexplained.
If, as my Body Snatchers in the Desert book and my The Roswell UFO Conspiracy book suggested, certain key events in the summer of 1947 – of a perceived flying saucer nature – had far less to do with the actions of aliens and far more to do with matters of a classified, military nature, then it would be most reasonable to assume that (a) discussions of such a possibility would have been flying around Washington, D.C., and (b) the government, and people in the military, would have been secretly digging deep to try and determine if this was indeed the case. Guess what? That is exactly what happened. Although many UFO investigators have said that the government’s worries and concerns about UFOs in ’47 were provoked by fear of them having definitive alien or Soviet origins, we have prime evidence in our hands that demonstrates the domestic “secret weapon” angle was one most definitely discussed – and even accepted – at an official level, as we shall now see. It is a crucial part of the argument that at least some UFOs are not from faraway worlds, but from right here. In early July 1947, Brigadier General George F. Schulgen, who was the Chief of the Requirements Intelligence Branch of Army Air Corps Intelligence, met with Special Agent S.W. Reynolds of the FBI. The purpose: to determine if the Army Air Force could solicit the assistance of the Bureau on a regular basis in its investigation of the growing flying saucer controversy. General Schulgen advised Reynolds that, “every effort must be undertaken in order to run down and ascertain whether or not the flying discs are a fact and, if so, to learn all about them.”
(Nick Redfern)
Welcome to Roswell!
The foremost thought on General Schulgen’s mind, at the time, was that the saucers were probably man-made in origin. He had another theory, too, and confided in Special Agent Reynolds that, “the first reported sightings might have been by individuals of Communist sympathies with the view to causing hysteria and fear of a secret weapon.” It was for this reason that the Army Air Force sought the FBI’s assistance. General Schulgen pledged to the FBI “all the facilities of [my] office as to results obtained.” He outlined a plan that would involve the FBI in both locating and questioning witnesses to UFO sightings to ascertain whether they were sincere in their statements that they had seen flying saucers, or whether their statements were prompted by personal desire for publicity or subversive reasons. According to declassified FBI files, Schulgen was careful to advise Reynolds too that: “It has been established that the flying discs are not the result of any Army or Navy experiment.” But, was that statement the literal truth? Was someone keeping the FBI in the dark?
Following the meeting between Schulgen and Reynolds, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover instructed his agents to begin investigations into flying saucer sightings, specifically in the manner suggested by General Schulgen. As a result of these investigations, on August 15, 1947 the FBI learned of the distinct possibility that the military’s involvement in the flying saucer subject extended beyond that of mere observer. In a memorandum to Edward A. Tamm, the FBI Assistant Director, D.M. Ladd of the Bureau’s Domestic Intelligence Division wrote the following: “The Director advised on August 14, 1947, that the Los Angeles papers were carrying headlines indicating that Soviet espionage agents had been instructed to determine the facts relative to the flying discs. The article carried a Washington date line and indicated that Red espionage agents had been ordered to solve the question of the flying discs, the Russians being of the opinion that this might be some new form of defense perfected by the American military [italics mine]. The article further recalled that during the recent war pieces of tin foil had been dropped in the air for the purpose of off-setting the value of radar being used by the enemy forces and that these aluminum discs might be a new development along this line. The Director inquired as to whether the Bureau had any such information.”
(Nick Redfern)
When there were concerns about UFOs and the Russians
Suspecting that, if the Russians were snooping around, the saucers just had to be American in origin, Special Agent Reynolds of the FBI’s Liaison Section was directed by J. Edgar Hoover to make further inquiries with the Air Force. Answers were sorely needed. Answers came, too. But, they weren’t the ones you might expect them to have been. On August 19, 1947, Reynolds met with a Lieutenant Colonel George D. Garrett and the entire secret weapon issue was discussed frankly and openly, as were the potential consequences should the Bureau uncover details of a top-secret, domestic research-and-development program. Following their very candid exchange, a remarkable memorandum captioned “Flying Discs” was prepared by Reynolds for the attention of Hoover. It is this document, perhaps, more than any other, which indicates that the American military was testing flying saucer-type aircraft in the summer of 1947. Or, craft that were not circular-shaped but which still came under the UFO banner, such as massive balloon arrays. The document reads as follows: “Special Agent S. W. Reynolds of the Liaison Section, while discussing the above captioned phenomena with Lieutenant Colonel Garrett of the Air Forces Intelligence, expressed the possibility that flying discs were, in fact, a very highly classified experiment of the Army or Navy. Mr. Reynolds was very much surprised when Colonel Garrett not only agreed that this was a possibility, but confidentially stated it was his personal opinion that such was a probability. Colonel Garrett indicated that a Mr. [Deleted], who is a scientist attached to the Air Forces Intelligence, was of the same opinion.”
“Colonel Garrett stated that he based his assumption on the following: He pointed out that when flying objects were reported seen over Sweden, the ‘high brass’ of the War Department extended tremendous pressure on the Air Forces Intelligence to conduct research and collect information in an effort to identify these sightings. Colonel Garrett stated that, in contrast to this, we have reported sightings of unknown objects over the United States, and the ‘high brass’ appeared to be totally unconcerned. He indicated this led him to believe that they knew enough about these objects to express no concern. Colonel Garrett pointed out further that the objects in question have been seen by many individuals who are what he terms ‘trained observers’ such as airline pilots. He indicated also that several of the individuals are reliable members of the community. He stated that these individuals saw something. He stated the above has led him to the conclusion that there were objects seen which somebody in the Government knows all about [italics mine].”
Special Agent Reynolds then pointed out to the colonel that if flying saucers really did originate within the heart of a highly classified domestic project of the military, it was wholly unreasonable for the FBI to be expected to “spend money and precious time conducting inquiries with respect to this matter.” The colonel duly concurred with Reynolds; he indicated that it would have been extremely embarrassing to Air Force Intelligence if the saucers proved to be American in origin. Perhaps sensing that he was now getting very close to uncovering the truth behind the UFO puzzle, Reynolds then made inquiries with the Intelligence Division of the War Department. He wanted their opinion on the theory that something akin to a shadow government operation was responsible for the many flying saucer-type objects seen over North America. The War Department, however, issued a flat denial that it was in any way implicated in the UFO issue. In a report written up later, Reynolds noted that he was given “the assurance of General Chamberlain and General Todd that the Army is conducting no experiments with anything which could possibly be mistaken for a flying disc.”
(Nick Redfern)
Secret U.S. devices? Soviets? Aliens?
Nevertheless, the FBI continued to view the subject of flying saucers and the military’s involvement in the subject with profoundly suspicious eyes. Rumors continued to circulate within the higher echelons of the FBI that it was being denied access to the full and unexpurgated facts – facts suggesting UFOs were home-grown and not Russian or alien in origin. None of this, of course, proves that the flying saucer wave of the summer of 1947 was provoked by a highly classified military program – rather than one of E.T. origin – but the behind-the-scenes discussions between the likes of Reynolds and Garrett on just such this very possibility most definitely pushed things in that direction.
A young binary system that is located approximately 325 light-years away from us has broken several records in regards to what scientists have found in space thus far. The binary star system called b Centauri contains a gigantic planet that shouldn’t even exist.
The planet, which is called b Centauri b, is about 11 times larger than Jupiter and is one of the heaviest worlds ever found. What’s even more astonishing is that the two stars in the system are between 6 and 10 times heavier than our own sun. This means that b Centauri is by far the largest system that’s ever been found that contains a planet. Furthermore, it is the hottest known system with a planet.
In fact, prior to this discovery, the heaviest known binary system with planets had stars that were about 2.7 times our sun’s mass and the heftiest single star system to have planets contains a sun with about 3 times our solar mass.
(Not the b Centauri system)
The two stars in the b Centauri system are only about 15 million years old and since they are so massive and let off so much heat, it didn’t seem as though any planets would be found there. The main star called b Centauri A is a B-type star that has a temperature of about 32,000 degrees Fahrenheit (almost 18,000 degrees Celsius). To put this into better perspective, it is approximately three times hotter than our sun and much hotter than any other planet-hosting star that has been found to date.
In a statement, Markus Janson, who is an astronomer at Stockholm University in Sweden, stated, “B-type stars are generally considered as quite destructive and dangerous environments.” “It was believed that it should be exceedingly difficult to form large planets around them.” But they did find one massive planet in that system by using the Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet Research (SPHERE) instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope in Chile.
Additionally, b Centauri b has one of the widest orbits found so far as it is located approximately 550 astronomical units (AU) away from the stars (one AU is the distance that Earth is to our sun). To understand this better, it is about 14 times further away than Pluto is to the sun. This may explain why it has survived as it is far enough away from the extreme radiation.
(Not b Centauri b)
How the planet formed is still a mystery but there are some theories like perhaps it was created close to the stars but ended up getting tossed further away by gravitational interactions, or maybe it formed where it is currently located. Nevertheless, it is one incredible discovery that has broken many previous planet and star system records. The study was published in the journal Nature.
A picture of the system taken by SPHERE and an artist’s impression of the planet can be viewed here.
Artist's illustration showing a close up of the newfound planet b Centauri b, which orbits a binary star system with mass at least six times that of the sun. This is the most massive and hottest planet-hosting star system found to date. The planet is 11 times more massive than Jupiter and orbits the two-star system at 100 times the distance Jupiter orbits the sun.

A glitch in the Matrix: A still raven recorded in the sky
A glitch in the Matrix: A still raven recorded in the sky
Morning temperatures in New Mexico may fall below freezing, but a strange incident has occurred that apparently has no explanation. A family was baffled after seeing a seemingly motionless crow in the air on their way to school. Kayleen Bowman shared a video on Facebook that shows a black crow suspended in the sky near some electric cables in Gallump, New Mexico, USA. UU. Throughout the 15-second video, the object suspended in the sky has a striking similarity to a Crow, which clearly does not move a single centimeter.
“The other morning, Jay was taking Lilly to school,” Kayleen wrote. “Lilly said: ‘Look, the bird is frozen!’ Jay stopped the vehicle to see what he meant. “They saw this crow ‘frozen’ in the sky. It seems he was in the middle of beating his wings. Jay said you could see the beak moving. This still stuns me. What you think?”
Temperatures in New Mexico drop to -15 ° C in the morning at this time of year. But for a bird to remain motionless in the air defies the laws of gravity. When Kayleen showed the video to his friends. They were surprised and one compared the strange moment as “a glitch in the Matrix. ” They even told her that she must have thrown a stone at the bird to see if it was alive.
A study by Standford University explains that birds can remain motionless in the air as long as they fly into the wind at a speed equal to that of the wind. But as we can see, not a single feather of the raven moves, which clearly indicate. Tthat it was not motionless due to the wind speed.
Gitch in the matrix caused a motionless crow?
So, if we rule out that it is a bird held in the sky, the only possibility is that it is a glitch in the Matrix. There are many who ensure that our descendants will have the immense technological power. Enough to create complex simulations of their ancestors in which everything seems real, including the conscience of the characters. Posthumans will have such easy access to these simulations that they can build as many as they wish, far exceeding the number of royal ancestors. Therefore, since the probability that any of us is a simulated character is much greater than that of being a real ancestor, so we can conclude that we almost certainly live in a simulation.
In the Matrix movie, there were flaws like the déjà vu that offered signs of the true nature of the simulation. Interestingly, the idea has almost become a popular meme in social networks and conspiracy forums. Where users share inexplicable events that have happened to them and that they interpret as problems in Matrix. Although some physicists think that the detection of certain unnatural anomalies, such as an asymmetry in cosmic rays, could reveal to us that the universe is a montage. The idea is that, if the computational power of the post-human limited. Their simulation would linked to certain simplifications that would break the space-time continuum into discrete points.
We could also hack the source code. Some scientists and philosophers have been discussing for years about the call “fine-tuning of the universe. How certain fundamental physical constants seem to have adequate values for the cosmos to exist, and we with it. As cosmologist Max Tegmark said, “If I were a character in a computer game. I would also discover that the rules seemed completely rigid and mathematical. ” But the answer to this great question could be more disturbing than we think. According to the philosopher David Chalmers, our creator could “just a teenage hacker in the next universe whose mother is calling him for dinner. Hopefully it never occurs to him to shut down the simulation.
What do you think about the motionless crow? Is it a glitch in the Matrix? Or do you have another explanation?
Galaxies Have Been Found With no Dark Matter at all
Galaxies Have Been Found With no Dark Matter at all
One of the greatest cosmological mysteries facing astrophysicists today is Dark Matter. Since the 1960s, scientists have postulated that this invisible mass accounts for most of the matter in the Universe. While there are still many unresolved questions about it – i.e., What is it composed of? How do we detect it? What evidence is there beyond indirect detection? – we have managed to learn a few things about it over time.
For example, astrophysicists have observed that Dark Matter played a vital role in the formation of galaxies and is responsible for keeping them gravitationally bound. However, when an international team of astronomers observed the ultra-diffuse galaxy AGC 114905, they found no evidence of Dark Matter at all. If these observations are accurate, this discovery could force scientists to reevaluate their cosmological models and the way we look at the Universe.
The research team was led by researchers from the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute at the University of Groningen and the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON). They were joined by astronomers and cosmologists from the University of Durham, Valparaiso University, and the University of Illinois. Their research findings were accepted for publication and will appear in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
As the team explained in a previous study, the road to this discovery began when Pavel Mancera Piña – a Ph.D. student with the University of Groningen and ASTRON and the lead author on both papers – and his colleagues observed six galaxies that appeared to have little or no dark matter. These findings contradicted prevailing theories about dark matter, which states that all galaxies (especially ultra-diffuse dwarf galaxies) could not exist without dark matter to hold them together.
Piña and his colleagues were instructed to retake their measurements and used the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico to conduct an observation campaign of one galaxy in particular. This was AGC 114905, a gas-rich, ultra-diffuse dwarf galaxy located about 250 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces. This designation refers to the fact that it is a low luminosity galaxy with far fewer stars than galaxies like ours (despite being comparable in size).
During this campaign, the team collected data on the rotation of gas in AGC 114905 for 40 hours between July and October 2020. They then made a graph that showed the distance of the gas from the center of the galaxy (x-axis) and the rotational speed of the gas (y-axis), which is a standard way of revealing the influence of dark matter. This graph showed that the presence of normal matter alone could explain the motions of the gas in AGC 114905.
As Piña explained in a recent Royal Astronomical Society press release:
“This is, of course, what we thought and hoped for because it confirms our previous measurements. But now the problem remains that the theory predicts that there must be dark matter in AGC 114905, but our observations say there isn’t. In fact, the difference between theory and observation is only getting bigger.”

As Piña and his colleagues indicate in their study, there are several possible explanations for the lack of dark matter. For starters, AGC 114905 may have been stripped of its dark matter through tidal interaction with neighboring large galaxies. They also adjusted the parameters of the Lamba-Cold Dark Matter (?CDM) cosmological model and alternate theories to General Relavity to obtain values consistent with their observations. But as Piña explained, none of it worked:
“But there are none. And in the most reputed galaxy formation framework, the so called cold dark matter model, we would have to introduce extreme parameter values that are far beyond the usual range. Also with modified Newtonian dynamics, an alternative theory to cold dark matter, we cannot reproduce the motions of the gas within the galaxy.”
Another possibility they considered was that their estimates of the estimated angle at which they were observing the galaxy were off (which would have altered their conclusions considerably). But Tom Oosterloo (a researcher with ASTRON and a co-author on the paper) indicated, that angle would have “to deviate very much from our estimate before there is room for dark matter again.”
This is not the first time astronomers observed a galaxy that appeared to have little or no Dark Matter. In 2018, a team of American and Canadian astronomers led by Pieter van Dokkum (the Sol Goldman Family Professor of Astronomy at Yale) discovered an ultra-diffuse galaxy (NGC1052–DF2) that was similarly bereft of dark matter. The techniques and measurements employed by Piña and his colleagues provided more robust results.

In the near future, Piña and his colleagues will examine another ultra-diffuse dwarf galaxy in detail. If they again find no traces of Dark Matter, it will confirm that galaxies are out there that defy the ?CDM model. This could be good news, as it will apply new constraints on Dark Matter and its role in galactic and cosmic evolution. After all, most of the greatest breakthroughs in history happened when experimental results contradicted established models.
To paraphrase Isaac Asimov, the most exciting phrase to hear in science is not ‘Eureka,’ but ‘That’s funny….’
I was looking over Curiosity Rovers recent photos and found these two photos with a shaded skin in them. Its nice there are two. It make more evidence. The shaded skin is being looked at by a micro camera designed to see grains of sand and tiny details that a normal camera would of course over look. The images show a skin of some kind of tiny organism...insect size. At the bottom of the cocoon, there is an opening where the tiny creature crawled out. This cocoon looks to be about 2-3mm in length, but that is a best guess. A similar cocoon was found a while back and was found in a color photo. 100% proof that there is life on Mars right now.

UFO Appears Over Florida Coast And Shoots Up and Away, Dec 3, 2021, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

A mysterious object was seen appearing out of nowhere and shot upward into the sky until vanishing. The eyewitness says he saw the object appear from a portal in the sky. It seems the person was witness to a UFO exiting the water fast, stopping suddenly to dry off, powering up brighting and shooting away. UFOs do have to get rid of most the water from the hull of the craft before entering space, because if too much water is on the skin of the craft, it could cause fractures in the hull when it enters space. Also some UFOs look very bright when about to shoot off at high speeds. I think the eyewitness saw this bright spot as a portal where he first noticed it. This is further poor of the theory I have that an alien base sits below Florida and extends out into the ocean about 20 miles out.

What you don't know about Las Vegas is that there is a USAF base over there called Nellis AFB. It's against the mountains and behind the old firing range...is an allotment of land that was given to aliens in exchange for technology and information. The aliens are called tall whites, and live to be 700 years old. The ships also glow white and they have no fear of being seen entering and exiting their base behind Nellis AFB. This UFO...is belongs to the tall whites. Want to learn more about this? Then watch the video of Charles Hall who worked for the USAF and was the go-between who was a non military person to work with the tall whites and the military.

I don’t know what to say it was above the mountain and I'm pretty sure you’re not supposed to be that close. There’s nothing that close ever flying by the mountains and if it was a rescue then who where they rescuing?
Weird alien-like fish spotted in the ocean’s twilight zone off the coast of California
Weird alien-like fish spotted in the ocean’s twilight zone off the coast of California
Ispy with my barreleye, a new Fresh from the Deep! During a dive with our education and outreach partner, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the team came across a rare treat: a barreleye fish (Macropinna microstoma).
MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles Ventana and Doc Ricketts have logged more than 5,600 successful dives and recorded more than 27,600 hours of video—yet we’ve only encountered this fish nine times!
The barreleye lives in the ocean’s twilight zone, at depths of 600 to 800 meters (2,000 to 2,600 feet). Its eyes look upwards to spot its favorite prey—usually small crustaceans trapped in the tentacles of siphonophores—from the shadows they cast in the faint shimmer of sunlight from above.
But how does this fish eat when its eyes point upward and its mouth points forward?
MBARI researchers learned the barreleye can rotate its glowing green eyes beneath that dome (head) of transparent tissue.
Aquarist Tommy Knowles and his team were aboard MBARI’s R/V Rachel Carson with our ROV Ventana to collect jellies and comb jellies for the Aquarium’s upcoming Into the Deep exhibition when they spotted this fascinating fish. The team stopped to marvel at Macropinna before it swam away.

Lopen met vleugels van 6 meter lang valt echt niet mee…
Als je vandaag de dag door moerassig gebied loopt, zie je hooguit één meter lange reigers in ondiep water waden, op zoek naar visjes, insecten of schaaldieren. Maar zo’n 70 miljoen jaar geleden zou je langs de Texaanse Rio Grande-rivier een indrukwekkender en enger wezen door de moerassen hebben zien struinen. Het gaat om een vrij angstaanjagende pterosauriër, bekend als Quetzalcoatlus. Dit beest, met een spanwijdte van bijna 12 meter, was het grootste vliegende dier dat ooit op aarde leefde. En in een nieuwe studie schetsen onderzoekers nu het meest complete beeld van dit gevreesde familielid van de dinosaurus.
Mysterie In de jaren zeventig van de vorige eeuw ontdekte wetenschappers in het Amerikaanse Big Bend National Park de gefossiliseerde botten van de pterosauriër. Eén van de mysteries is echter sindsdien geweest hoe een dier met zes meter lange vleugels rond kon lopen… De vleugels zouden zelfs opgevouwen de grond moeten hebben geraakt. Bovendien gingen er onder zijn enorme vleugels in verhouding vrij kleine beentjes schuil. En dus is het de vraag hoe Quetzalcoatlus het luchtruim koos. “Dit oude vliegende reptiel is legendarisch,” zegt onderzoeker Kevin Padian. “Maar dit is de eerste keer dat we een grondige blik werpen op het grootste dier dat ooit op aarde rondvloog.”
Studie De onderzoekers bogen zich over de gefossiliseerde botten en vergeleken deze met talrijkere exemplaren van een kleinere Quetzalcoatlus-soort om het vlieg-, loop- en lanceergedrag beter te begrijpen. En uiteindelijk slaagde het onderzoeksteam erin het unieke loopje van Quetzalcoatlus te onthullen.
Vleugels Het beeld dat het onderzoeksteam uiteindelijk schetst, is van een dier dat best wat weg heeft van hedendaagse reigers, gecombineerd met kenmerken van condors en gieren. “Pterosauriërs hebben enorme borstbeenderen – de plek waar de vliegspieren zich hechten – dus het lijdt geen twijfel dat het geweldige vliegers waren,” zegt Padian. “Hun opperarmbeen – de humerus – kenmerkt zich door enorme, benige toppen waar de spieren die ze gebruikten om te vliegen, worden verankerd. Deze zijn groter dan die van vogels en veel groter dan die van vleermuizen. De vleugels werkten in wezen hetzelfde als die van vogels en andere dinosauriërs, waaraan pterosauriërs het nauwst verwant zijn.”
Meer over Quetzalcoatlus De onderzoekers vermoeden dat Quetzalcoatlus geen veren had: zijn lichaam – inclusief vleugels – was bedekt met haar, zoals bij alle pterosauriërs. Net als dinosaurussen waren ze warmbloedig en actief. Quetzalcoatlus had geen staart, vermoedelijk om zo wendbaarder te zijn. Daarnaast leek hij een beetje op een uit de kluiten gewassen ooievaar. De pterosauriër hield er waarschijnlijk een gevarieerd dieet op na en zocht in de modder naar krabbetjes, wormen en kokkels, maar ook kleine visjes, insecten, slangen en hagedissen stonden geregeld op zijn menu.
Net als vogels, vleermuizen en zelfs mensen, hebben de voorpoten van pterosauriërs drie segmenten: de humerus, de onderarm en de pols- en handbotjes. Maar in tegenstelling tot vogels en vleermuizen, bestaat het buitenste deel van de pterosauriërvleugel uit een gigantische ‘vleugelvinger’. “Het is vergelijkbaar met een skistok die zich vanaf het begin van je vingers uitstrekt en 90 graden naar buiten buigt,” legt Padian uit.
Tweevoetig Quetzalcoatlus was tweevoetig, wat betekent dat hij op twee benen liep. Maar omdat de botten van de voorpoten zo langwerpig zijn, raakten zijn vleugels de grond wanneer ze opgevouwen waren. Dit deed sommigen vermoeden dat de pterosauriërs zich net als een vampiervleermuis voortbewogen; die gebruiken hun voorpoten om zichzelf op de grond voort te stuwen.

De onderzoekers komen nu echter tot de ontdekking dat Quetzalcoatlus hier waarschijnlijk niet toe in staat was: als hij op de grond stond, kon hij zijn vleugels alleen naar voren of opzij bewegen. “Eenmaal op de grond, kon hij zijn voorpoten niet terugdraaien om vooruit te komen,” zegt Padian. “Het bot in zijn schouder zat daarvoor in de weg.” Om toch op de grond vooruit te komen, hief de pterosauriër eerst zijn linkerarm op, zette vervolgens met zijn linkerbeen een stap en plaatste zijn linkerarm op de grond. Dit proces herhaalde hij aan de rechterkant. “Dit lijkt misschien wat omslachtig,” zegt Padian. “Maar het dier kon de gang snel en gemakkelijk uitvoeren.”
Opstijgen Hoe Quetzalcoatlus opsteeg? Omdat zijn poten korter waren dan zijn vleugels, kon hij niet simpelweg met zijn vleugels klapperen om zichzelf te lanceren. De onderzoekers vermoeden dan ook dat de pterosauriër zijn sterke achterpoten gebruikte om omhoog te springen. Vervolgens begon hij, zodra er enige ruimte onder hem was gekomen, met zijn vleugels te klapperen. Reigers en zilverreigers doen hetzelfde, hoewel ze aanzienlijk kleiner zijn dan Quetzalcoatlus.

De bevindingen zijn revolutionair voor de studie naar pterosauriërs – de eerste dieren, na insecten, die ooit een gemotoriseerde vlucht ontwikkelden. Padian geeft toe dat er nog steeds enkele vragen over Quetzalcoatlus en pterosauriërs in het algemeen onbeantwoord blijven. Maar dankzij het omvangrijke onderzoek hebben we nu wel een veel beter beeld van hoe het grootste vliegende dier dat ooit op aarde leefde, zich – op vrij eigenaardige wijze – voortbewoog.
China’s Yutu 2 lunar rover is en route to investigate a curious cube-like anomaly, that has been dubbed the 'mystery hut,' spotted on the far side of the moon. Word of the weird observation reportedly came about by way of the China National Space Administration's Our Space website in a post on Friday, The blog recounted how scientists were admiring the horizon as seen by the rover when "suddenly, an obtrusive cube on the northern skyline attracted their attention" as it "pierced through the winding of the skyline, like a "mysterious hut" that appeared out of thin air."
The report went on to note that there was a sizeable impact crater near the object and then fantastically wondered if the oddity is "a home built by aliens after crash landing" or "a pioneer spacecraft of the predecessors to explore the moon." A less imaginative explanation put forward by scientists is that the anomaly is merely a boulder that came to rest upon the surface of the moon by whatever created the crater next to it. Be that as it may, the team behind the rover are understandably intrigued by the peculiar observation and, in an admirable display of scientific inquiry, have now directed the craft to head towards the 'mystery hut.'
Although it is located around 260 feet from the rover, it will take actually approximately two to three months for the research vehicle to fully reach the anomaly. One assumes that the cube will come into clearer focus as the craft gets closer to the object. The 'mystery hut' is not the first time that Yutu 2 has stumbled upon something strange on the far side of the moon as the rover previously observed and subsequently identified a 'mystery substance' that wound up being a rock transformed by extreme heat. With that in mind, one may wish to temper their expectations that the object will turn out to be an alien's house rather than the just a very big boulder.
