NASA astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell saw UFOs
Dr. Edgar Mitchell
Dr. Edgar Mitchell in one of his most moving and revealing interviews ever! I appeared on BBC TV with Edgar. Did you know that he grew up in Roswell, New Mexico? He speaks with total candor about his knowledge of the Roswell Incident and about the issue of alien presence in general. His discussion of his book, “The Way of the Explorer” is highly informative, and his description of what happened to him on the way back from the moon is unforgettable.
Edgar Dean Mitchell, Sc.D. (born September 17, 1930) is an American pilot, retired Captain in the United States Navy and NASA astronaut. As the lunar module pilot of Apollo 14, he spent nine hours working on the lunar surface, making him the sixth person to walk on the Moon.
Mitchell has publicly expressed his opinions that he is “90 percent sure that many of the thousands of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, recorded since the 1940s, belong to visitors from other planets”. Dateline NBC conducted an interview with Mitchell on April 19, 1996, during which he discussed meeting with officials from three countries who claimed to have had personal encounters with extraterrestrials. He offered his opinion that the evidence for such “alien” contact was “very strong” and “classified” by governments, who were covering up visitations and the existence of alien beings’ bodies. He further claimed that UFOs had provided “sonic engineering secrets” that were helpful to the U.S. government. In 2004 he told the St. Petersburg Times that a “cabal of insiders” in the U.S. government were studying recovered alien bodies, and that this group had stopped briefing U.S. Presidents after John F. Kennedy. He said, “We all know that UFOs are real; now the question is where they come from.”
On July 23, 2008, Edgar Mitchell was interviewed on Kerrang Radio by Nick Margerrison. Mitchell claimed the Roswell crash was real and that aliens have contacted humans several times, but that governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, stating: “I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we’ve been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.”
In an interview with Fox News on July 25, 2008, Mitchell clarified that his comments did not involve NASA, but quoted unnamed intelligence sources, since deceased, who confided to him that the Roswell incident did involve an alien craft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3o0mpi6XCw
Are UFOs from Under the Sea?
Bill McDonald made this drawing of the Roswell craft
based on numerous eyewitness testimony. It’s hull and internal configurations had been “Grown” to mimic the structures and forms of living organic ocean animals such as the stingray.
A sample of the skin or shell of the Roswell craft had micron thick layers of magnesium and zinc alternating with layers of bismuth a white, crystalline, brittle metal a thermal conductivity lower than any metal except mercury. It has a high electrical resistance and has the highest Hall Effect of any metal (that is, the greatest increase in electrical resistance when placed in a magnetic field). Frank Kaufmann describes the underside of the craft as tiled with an array of hexagons. The craft itself is described as shaped like a sting ray and capable of changing its shape in flight. Scrapings came from the exterior underside of the craft were shell-like shielding the craft indicating it may have been constructed underwater. This would cause the conjecture that aliens may have developed on Earth or reached here on large spaceships and are building scout ships from the materials available on Earth. The large number of sightings indicates a prefabricated design.”
Stingray similar to Roswell Craft
It is a known fact UFOs are often seen entering and leaving the ocean and other waters. Additionally, their craft have features similar to various “Wave rider-stingray-cetacean-forms. It is possible that a marine intelligent life form exits like mermaids or mermen. They could be from a water bound planet or developed under the sea.
Marine mammals in the cetacean family include whales, dolphins, and porpoises who are thought to have greater intelligence than humans. Although whales spend all their time in the oceans, they are mammals just like us. This means that they are warm blooded, give birth to live young, nurse their young, and must come to the surface to breathe air through their lungs or bringing oxygen under. What if some types of humanoids developed under water or ice and created some sort of intelligent civilization and technology? Many UFOs although fast and maneuverable do not seem to be spaceships with the ability to travel vast distances to other planets.
Depiction of Craft surfaces in my Lake
I happen to live on a lake and awakened in the middle of the night with a bright light shining in the window. Looking out onto the lake a 25-foot disc shaped craft with circling lights was surfacing like a submarine. It seemed at home in the water and later flew off. Underwater is a natural hiding place and high-speed underwater craft are often reported. We also receive reports and images of undersea mining, structures, pyramids and even mermaids.
Stingray-skate-like diamond triangular wing form profiles. The general lateral profile was porpoise-like and until the inward-canted vertical stabilizers were exactly the profile of a species of cetacean known as Dall’s porpoise.
Stingray skate similar to Triangle UFO
The stingray-skate-like diamond triangular wing form profiles were subtly different–But close enough to satisfy a detective’s standards regarding multiple witness composites. Both men identically described the hexagonal power cell belly tiles, to include being subducted under a thin rim layer of approximately eighteen inches. There were big hexagons near the nose, shrinking in size towards the tail and trailing wing edges. John Andrews independently confirmed that Kelly and Ben also described a complex “Power grid” on the ships belly.
Len Stringfield told me about the skin of the Roswell flight crew: He stated that macroscopically, the skin resembled the tiny, granulated smooth beaded.
Scales of the tiny albino Geckos
inhabiting the islands of the South Pacific. He stated that his physicians reported that the skin was NOT the semi-permeable layers that hold in moisture and fluids and hold out dangerous rot bacilli. Stringfield stated that it was like synthetic screen mesh under a microscope. He stated that the alien flight crews would have leaked like sieves if they were walking around outside the landed craft and not encased in some artificial cellophane-like substance. Infection would have occurred in seconds. The floor of the craft had a texture of the floor was like “Coral growth” patterns. The kidney dialysis bag of the aliens was similar to the crystalline layers of microbes in the floor layers. He also described vented louvers in the flooring edges on either side of the crew compartment which were similar to the gill slits of sharks. The craft may have had fluids inside to cushion the flight crew from high “G” aerial maneuvers although the fluids would have drained after a crash. The alien flight crew would likely die from the rapid onset of infections and dehydration. Fluid in the craft would allow for near buoyancy in seawater and allows the craft dive into the ocean and fly out again with slightly positive buoyancy offset by its propulsion system.
In Eugene H. Burt’s book “UFOs and Diamagnetism,’
he discusses the Hall voltage developed across a conductor when the conductor is inserted in a magnetic field. In a few cases, one of them being Bismuth, the current may be considered positive current. It should be beneficial to determine whether there is a correlation between the observed diamagnetism in solid state physics and a positive current as determined by the Hall Effect. Henry Wallace, a GE Engineer, patented a device for creating secondary gravitational fields. He described using spinning discs composed of bismuth which had developed a strong positive electrostatic charge. Bismuth has a density as heavy as lead. It can be found in the circulation of hot water hydrothermal veins that also have nickel, cobalt silver, tin, and uranium sulfides.
T.T. Brown experimented with disc- shaped capacitors
that were suspended and charged with high voltages. These disc- shaped capacitors accelerated toward the capacitor’s positive pole. The Brown Effect is usually referred to as electro gravity. Objects that are highly polarized and develop high voltages tend to lose weight and levitate. Experiments with spinning objects also show gravitationally anomalous effects.
Flying saucers are surrounded by an ionizing field that levitates and propels them as well as acting as a refractive lens to divert light in stealth mode. Diamagnetic materials create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to an externally the Earth’s magnetic field and are repelled by the applied magnetic field. In contrast, the opposite behavior is exhibited by paramagnetic materials.
Materials called diamagnetic are those that laymen generally think of as non-magnetic, and include water, wood, most organic compounds such as petroleum and some plastics, and many metals including copper, particularly the heavy ones with many core electrons, such as mercury, gold, and bismuth. Diamagnets may be levitated in stable equilibrium in a magnetic field, with no power consumption.
The Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands has conducted experiments where water and other substances were successfully levitated.
Most spectacularly, a live frog (see figure) was levitated.
In September 2009, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California announced they had successfully levitated mice using a superconducting magnet. They hope to perform experiments regarding the effects of microgravity on bone and muscle mass. Recent experiments studying the growth of protein crystals have led to a technique using powerful magnets to allow growth in ways that counteract Earth’s gravity. Metallic hexagonal crystals reported on the craft also show a diamagnetic behavior and may act as waveguides in superconductors. The discs likely develop a time-varying diamagnetic field that interacts with the earth’s magnetic field. The Roswell craft had advanced technology, an organic technology that is able to grow an ordered structure from a crystalline matrix. Such organic technology is our next step in growing homes and vehicles that can change their shape.
X-33
The Roswell craft may have become the model for Lockheed’s X-33, a rocket-based Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO) Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV). The Lockheed Martin Skunk Works X-33 uses a lifting body shape coupled with a rocket engine to propel the vehicle to over Mach 15. The lifting body shape is similar to the stingray.
It seems amazing that aliens would use so many designs similar to under water living entities. This indicates they live underwater or came from a planet with similar water conditions. We can even speculate alien humanoids developed a civilization beneath the sea speculated
Carl Feindt in his book “UFOs and Water” the Sea, lakes and rivers” discuss the large number of sightings that have occurred in water, leaving and entering the Sea, lakes and rivers. Carl does not feel there is an Earth based civilization that aliens simply use water as a convenient hiding place.
Townsend. T. Brown experimented with disc- shaped capacitors that were suspended and charged with high voltages. The Brown Effect is usually referred to as electro gravity. Objects that are highly polarized and develop high voltages tend to lose weight and levitate. A complete theory of electro gravity has not yet been worked out. Experiments with spinning objects also show gravitationally anomalous effects. Flying saucers are surrounded by an ionizing field that levitates and propels them as well as acting as a refractive lens to divert light in stealth mode.
The Air Force discovered that the entire vehicle functioned just like a giant capacitor. In other words, the craft itself stored the energy necessary to propagate the magnetic wave that elevated it, allowed it to achieve escape velocity from the earth’s gravity, and enabled it to achieve speeds of over seven thousand miles per hour. It was as if gravity was being folded around the outside of the wave that enveloped the craft.
UFO Debris from New Mexico
Engineers marveled at the thin amalgam of the most refined copper and purest silver they had ever seen that covered the ship’s underside. The metal was remarkable for its conductivity, as if the entire craft were an electrical circuit offering no resistance to the flow of current. [p107] Accelerating from a near stationary hover above a given spot, like a helicopter, to speeds in excess of seven thousand miles per hour in a matter of seconds? The craft itself was an electrical circuit.
That the flight suits – “flight skins” is a better description – the creatures wore were made of a substance whose atomic structure was elongated, strengthened lengthwise, so as to provide a directional flow to any current applied to it. The engineers who first discovered this were amazed at the pure conductivity of these skins, functionally like the skin of the craft itself and their obvious ability to protect the wearer while at the same time vectoring some kind of electronic field. [p108]
The debris and the spacecraft indicated that an engine didn’t somehow fall out of the craft when it crashed. A conventional engine was never there in the first place. What we found was that the craft seemed to have had the ability to store as well as conduct a vast amount of current. What if the craft itself were the engine, imparted with a steady current from another source that it stored as if it were a giant capacitor? This would be like charging the battery in an electric car and running it until the battery was drained. [p109]
The Roswell craft was simply a capacitor that stored current that was controlled or vectored by the pilot and was able to be recharged in some way or could recharge itself with some form of built-in generator. Scientists who had gone to the Air Materiel Command at Wright Field to see the debris were speculating that the electronic potential of the Roswell craft reminded them of the German and British antigravity experiments of the 1920s and 1930s. Tesla and a number of other European scientists had been pioneers in the conversion of circumscribed small-area antigravity fields out of electromagnetic fields. [p110]
But what if the flying craft already carried enough electric potential and storage capacity to retain its power, just like a very advanced flying battery? Then it might have all the power it needed to propagate and vector a wave directionally by shifting its magnetic poles. If the magnetic field theory experiments carried out by engineers and electrical energy pioneers Paul Biefeld and Townsend Brown in the 1920s at the California Institute for Advanced Studies were accurately reported – and the U.S. military as well as scientific record keepers at Hoover’s young Bureau of Investigation kept very close tabs on what these engineers were doing – then the technological theory for antigravity flight existed before World War II.
The Germans developed and flew flying disks
If the EBEs utilized a wave-propagation technology as an antigravity drive and navigation system, then they traveled inside Molecular alignment metallic alloys. [p111- p115]
About the only possible process that could interfere with the electromagnetic field drive we suspected the aliens were using was a directed-particle energy-beam weapon that could disrupt the electromagnetic wave formation around the spacecraft and penetrate the antigravity field. [p245]
Tesla wrote about the theories behind the distortion or manipulation of a gravitational field through the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and the extraterrestrials seemed to have employed just that kind of technology for a propulsion system. [p249] Thanks to Carl Feindt, Bill McDonald, Curtis@hello-earth.com
Note:UFOs are often seen above power stations, power lines, thunderstorms and pyramids taking on electrical current. All seem to be able to generate electrical and magnetic energy that apparently the UFO uses.
That ETs, angels, and humans may be from the future is a 1960s “Star Trek” narrative that he parrots and given that time is probably circular––the past, present, and future are all happening at once and can be traversed at will with technology––it’s no biggy.
Jack Sarfatti claims. “That’s what metric engineering physics i.e., control of gravity with SMALL amounts of energy is all about! The physics is elementary, so you are right it’s no biggy – all sufficiently advanced civilizations have it. For us right now the engineering of metamaterials is the biggy.”
Many leading Ufologists have no understanding of the energy problem and no understanding of why the metamaterials are needed.
Area 51 Pyramid
Area 51 Pyramid
The Air Force’s infamous super-secret base at Groom Lake, Nevada also known as “Area 51” or “Dreamland” has constructed a massive desert pyramid. It could be a radar site, but speculation suggests it may tie into the network of ancient pyramids worldwide and draw upon alien technology to absorb the energies to power ancient UFOs? Pyramids are magnificent structures thought to have been alien. Scientists in China and Russia think so. Now, the hidden technology of those ancient structures is being activated as massive pyramids around the globe are shooting pulsing streams of raw energy deep into space. What is their purpose? Are they really conduits of cosmic energy as some have claimed? Were some pyramids actually designed by aliens that created a worldwide network of advanced city-states based on their super science? Who really knows? Well, maybe the United States Air Force knows.
Pyramid technology is ancient and global. Fantastic pyramids have been discovered beneath the twisted growth of South American jungles, the ocean’s floors, on high plateaus and desolate deserts around the world often with a series of pipes stretching out for miles or various underground water canals. Hundreds were built in Tibet and China allegedly by blue eyed, white skinned blonde aliens who had flying machines.
Some who’ve researched these ancient silent stone sentinels are convinced that at least a few of the mighty structures are actually advanced machines engineered to accomplish purposes so vast that the energies unleashed could dwarf today’s most advanced technology.’
With the recent astonishing activity of Aztec and Mayan pyramids, and the giant pyramid in Bosnia, the hypothesis that some of the ancient structures are power machines suddenly appears entirely credible. World’s Pyramids Beaming Energy to Mysterious Space Cloud.
Giza power plant pyramids have underwater Canals
Explorer, researcher and author, Christopher Dunn wrote, The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt. While his perspective on ancient technology was dramatic, it was also testable. Electrical engineers have made the case that some of the more ancient pyramids are actually gigantic machines that generate power. Some have even built models that prove their contention that pyramidal structures are natural reservoirs of energy and can function as huge capacitors and generators of electricity.
Dr. Demetriev has revealed that both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes reported the entire solar system is at risk. Worse, Merav Opher, a NASA Heliophysics Guest Investigator from George Mason University claims this interstellar energy cloud is unstable and turbulent.
The Russian scientist further asserts this photonic cloud of energy is exciting the atmospheres of the planets and especially our sun. As this interstellar energy cloud continues to excite and interact with the sun, it causes the sun to become more active, resulting in greater output and instability. This may be partly responsible for the warming temperatures on Earth.
Communist COVID- 19 Biggest Story of 2020- 2021
Ben Domenech Fox TV
“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP)is actively engaged in an effort to undermine our American way of life,” Domenech said. “But China is doing this with the active cooperation of our fellow Americans. Their partners in this project aren’t just malevolent spies manipulating doofus California congressmen. It’s none other than our own cultural, business and academic elites who they have bought and paid for a thousand times over. Our elites now operate hand-in-glove with the Communist Party of China, doing its bidding even when it harms the freedoms and rights that are the birthright of every American.”
The actor John Cena, National Basketball Association player LeBron James, Apple, Amazon, Intel, American universities, the Walt Disney Company, and the Biden administration, saying they sold out to the CCP. Notably, the lone U.S.-based major institution “willing to stand up to the CCP” in 2021 was the Women’s Tennis Association. The WTA suspended its Chinese operations after China “quasi-imprison[ed]” Peng Shuai, a Chinese tennis player who levied a sexual assault allegation against former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli, Domenech added. The CCP’s attempts at “subverting and ending American freedom” are partly due to “power politics,” Domenech said.
“But it’s something more than that,” he added. “Mostly, they do it because the Communist Party of China believes it is locked in a life-or-death struggle with the United States, and unlike us, it acts accordingly.” Listen to entire story https://www.foxnews.com/media/chinese-communist-party-american-elites-domenech
Communist Laboratory Wuhan Institute of Virology
Chinese Communist Media tells their people every day they are at war with the United States. The apparent Chinese plan was put in effect with a general in charge of the Bio-Warfare operation at the Wuhan Lab. In the bioweapon industry, genetic engineering is used to manipulate genes to create new pathogenic characteristics aimed at enhancing the efficacy of the weapon through increased survivability, infectivity, virulence, and drug resistance. In addition to large-scale production, effective bioweapons must act quickly, be environmentally robust, and their effects must be treatable for those who are implementing the bioweapon. COVID -19 appears to meet these conditions of an effective bioweapon, which cannot be found in nature. By replacing existing genes with harmful genes, this technique can be used to manufacture bioweapons using Sars Virus and HIV genes.
The Wuhan lab leak is now the most likely origin of the coronavirus pandemic according to British Intelligence. MPs have been told the Wuhan lab leak accidently or planned is now the origin of the coronavirus pandemic because Beijing tried to cover it up, British MPs were told today. Covid 19 shows vivid proof that viruses can be just as destructive and terrifying—if not more so—than the use of nuclear weapons.
Harvard scientist Dr. Alina Chan told the Science and Technology Select Committee that it is ‘reasonable’ to believe that COVID was genetically engineered in China. In recent years, China has been investing heavily in strategically important sectors in science, technology, and biomedicine.
She also said that the Chinese Communist Party’s cover-up of the initial outbreak in Wuhan two years ago and attempts to sabotage the World Health Organization’s inquiry into the origins of the pandemic made the lab-leak theory likely
China established a half a dozen labs of the highest level of (BSL-4) or P4 (pathogen or protection level 4), in several cities. The Chinese Labs obtained funds from Dr. Fauci who approved millions of dollars for advanced research into deadly viruses.
Prior to the outbreak, researchers at the lab had been studying bat-based coronaviruses in a project partially supported by $600,000 a year in US government funding routed from the nonprofit Eco Health Alliance, the Daily Caller reported.
Harvard Scientist: COVID-19 Originated from Wuhan Lab Leak Published December 16th, 2021
The Wuhan lab leak is now the most likely origin of the coronavirus pandemic that may have been accidental or planned as bio-warfare, because Beijing tried to cover it up.
Harvard scientist Dr. Alina Chan told the Science and Technology Select Committee that it is ‘reasonable’ to believe that COVID was genetically engineered in China.
Thousands of Chinese leave Wuhan and carry COVID-19 around the world
Once COVID-19 was in the Wuhan population they were forbidden to travel to any place in China. Hundreds of thousands of Wuhan Chinese were sent around the world to spread the virus. Why is COVID-19 not being treated as a bioweapon when our top generals and admirals know differently, as well as Nobel Prize-winning biologists, intelligence analysts, authoritative academics? The unusually fast spread of the disease suggests the Chinese were spreading the disease with biological warfare aerosol containers, or even spraying from aircraft. Chinese food sold all over the world is not tested for COVID-19 except in China. The COVID-19 is highly transmissible and deadly. Despite “tracking the call” and carefully examining patient contact, it is not yet clear how the virus is transmitted from one sick person to another. Airborne transmission can occur through two different modes and does not require physical contact between an infected person and a susceptible person. Recently, epidemiologists have estimated that more than 85 % of infections in China (Wuhan), were “undocumented” prior to the travel restrictions, with “limited, mild or no symptoms” and never were tested. Remarkably, the modeling shows that 79 % of cases are actually infected by undocumented peoples. Normal and ordinary speech converts significant amounts of respiratory particles into airborne aerosols. Respiratory virus can be detected on the surfaces for 48 h or more.
Droplets and aerosols >5 μm settle within 6 feet away from the infected person who produces them, due to gravity. The method through which a biological weapon is deployed depends on the agent itself, its preparation, its durability, and the route of infection. Attackers may disperse these agents through aerosols or food, and water supplies. COVID-19 is often detected in wastewater of many cities.
Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology published a preprint scientific paper where they reported their findings on four unique inserts of key structural proteins of HIV-1 in COVID-19, a result which was “unlikely to be found in nature” (Pradhan et al. 2020). In other words, the novel coronavirus had been genetically engineered.
There is strong evidenced the Chinese Communist Party’s cover-up of the initial outbreak in Wuhan two years ago and attempts to sabotage the World Health Organization’s inquiry into the origins of the pandemic make the lab-leak theory likely.
Lord Ridley, who has co-authored a book on the origin of the virus with Dr. Chan, said the fact that experts have still not found the animal host that would support a natural origin despite two years of research supports claim that COVID came from a lab.
Recent revelations of China’s attempted cover-up have forced British and US intelligence officials to take seriously the lab-leak hypothesis. National Institutes of Health
Bio Warfare Major General Chen Wei
China’s official reaction has added fuel to the fires of suspicion. In mid-February, Chen Wei, a major general in the People’s Liberation Army and a leading biological weapons expert at the Academy of Military Science, was appointed to take the helm at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. She directed making the virus into a bio warfare weapon and spreading it around the world.
The COVID -19 has killed 815,000 Americans thus far, so their plan has been successful. China as of 29 December 2021, there have been 131,315 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 5,699 deaths, reported to WHO.
In the 18 months since, more than 14,886 cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in China and only four people have died, according to the China National Health Commission. China developed their vaccine a year before the United States showing their preparation for handling the virus. Deaths from COVID-19 have surpassed five million worldwide. It is COVID-19 was designed to targets most people but making the Chinese immune or showing only minimal or no symptoms, yet it would be fatal to the intended targets. Most of the Chinese population had received billions of vaccinations by July of 2020.
President Biden and Xi
Supreme leader Xi Jinping, in order to “to strengthen areas of weakness and close the loopholes exposed by the epidemic,” ordered the establishment of a law on biosecurity to prevent release of any data. (Xinhua News 2020).
These remarks were taken by some commentators in the West as a tacit admission of the lab origins of the virus.
The Biden Administration has stopped US Intelligence from investigating the source of the COVID 19. Critical information about the origins of this pandemic exists in the People’s Republic of China, yet from the beginning, China has worked to prevent international investigators from accessing it. www.independentnews.com

Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at airfields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted. Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book, by John L. Guerra.
Special reports are: NASA astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell saw UFOs, Are UFOs from Under the Sea? Area 51 Pyramid, Communist COVID- 19 Biggest Story of 2020- 21, C-60 and Strange Craft.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, Jordan, Mexico, England in the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

UFO Sightings in the United States
Sightings are from MUFON CMS
California Object
Ontario— on December 18, 2021, between 6:14 to 6:15 I noticed a very unusual chem trail illuminated in the sky. I took seven photos because of its unusual shape and glow captured objects other than the chemical trail. The three objects in question were only noticed upon review of the photos flying fast.
Colorado Object
Aspen– on December 1, 2021, this is a stock photo from Pixlr. When I brought this photo into Illustrator to place it on a template. I enlarged the photo in Photoshop but can’t tell exactly what it is.
Florida Lights
Saint Petersburg – on December 25, 2021, the sighting was on bridge over the Boca Ceiga Bay. I stopped my bicycle on the bridge to take a picture of the moon when I saw falling blue streaks on camera screen that I captured.

If a professor of military history at a military college who specializes in terrorism warned you of possible attacks on major cities around the world … would you believe him? What if his warning was about cities being destroyed by asteroids weaponized by extraterrestrials? What if he said this scenario would be much worse than anything dreamed up so fat by science fiction novelists or movie makers? Would we have a chance of survival? Are you skeptical … or worried?
“You have to assume any civilization is acting in what it perceives to be its own best interest — they are not showing up because they want to be benevolent.”
Meet Paul J. Springer, a Professor of Comparative Military History at the Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama who teaches courses on strategy, terrorism, and military history, and is currently researching cyber warfare and military robotics. In an exclusive interview with The Sun Online, he lays out realistic scenarios on how aliens may already be scouting Earth to determine the best ways to invade, attack, conquer and rule – and it sounds eerily like our own human history of warfare.
“If I wanted to take down a civilization, I would want to shut them down and make sure you know I shut them down. So you would know, you were essentially at my mercy. They would be hoping that humans will recognize when they are beaten and accept the status quo.”
Does that sound familiar? Springer likens an ET invasion to the European conquest of the continents that became the Americas. While they may have been looking for a place to escape from oppression and live in peace at first, taking advantage of the indigenous people and their bountiful resources soon took over. Springer says space travelers may indeed be nomads or refugees, but they’ll probably need something that Earth provides … and it will probably be something we humans will not give up willingly or even trade for a fair exchange.
“Wait a minute!”, you may be thinking. “We have an advantage … we saw ‘Independence Day’! Plus we have nukes and rockets and lasers and stuff! Plus they would have to bring enough weapons and soldiers to conquer us while we already have stockpiles and we’re guarding our own home turf.”
Good points, says Springer. However, any civilization intelligent enough to travel that far and that long may be ready to take its time and figure out how to use our own resources against us. That’s where he sees aliens looking at the asteroid belt like the biblical David eying a huge pile of rocks to sling at a giant enemy with limited resources in comparison. A nonstop barrage of asteroids could be as demoralizing as carpet bombing was in past human wars.
Do we have any hope against such an enemy invasion?
Again, history may provide some solutions, according to Springer.
“Survival, because without forces-in-being you can’t offer a coherent response. Capture, because you need to determine their capabilities and potential vulnerabilities. Plus, there’s always the possibility that they would value their own personnel to such an extent that you might be able to open communications.”
Rather than fighting back until our resources are gone, Springer seems to propose a strategy of hide-and-wait until the enemy’s resources are low … a strategy that worked well when Muhammad Ali called it “Rope-a-dope.” Once the depleted enemy lands, humans come out of their hiding places and capture them, reverse-engineer their ships and weapons, and either fight back or use the prisoners and weapons as bargaining chips.
Would such a strategy work? Muhammad Ali would say it’s worked before – it will work again. Would aliens really attack us with our own solar system’s asteroids? Military strategists are probably saying that sounds like a good technique for our own Space Force and its next generations.
Perhaps it’s time we learned that the best movies don’t always provide the best strategies.
It is known that the asteroid that impacted Earth 66 million years ago killed off the dinosaurs as well as numerous other species – non-avian dinosaurs and at least 75% of all life on Earth went extinct. But many of those creatures were wiped out during several months of darkness that covered parts of the planet after the impact. The ash and particles from the many wildfires covered the sky which blocked out the sun. In addition to the countless fires, the impact also caused acid rain and cooler temperatures.
Following the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs, parts of the planet would have been plunged into darkness.
This constant darkness in certain regions led to countless other species going extinct. In fact, some of these areas were in total darkness for as long as two years. Photosynthesis would have been non-existent and even when the sun eventually returned, the damage had already been done. It was theorized in the 1980s that a “nuclear winter scenario” would have occurred after the impact (this included darkness) that caused some of the mass extinctions, but it’s only been in recent years that experts were able to calculate how the darkness really did affect life on our planet.
In their models, the scientists recreated the ecology during that time period and used 300 species that would have been alive – their fossils had previously been found in the Hell Creek Formation and date back to the late part of the Cretaceous Period when the asteroid hit Earth. “We focused on that region because the fossil record is well-sampled and well-understood ecologically, so we could reconstruct the paleocommunity reliably,” explained Peter Roopnarine who is a curator of geology in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Geology at California Academy of Sciences.
Then they exposed the model to different lengths of darkness, from 100 to 700 days and they found that it would have set in very quickly and been at its maximum level within only a few weeks. Additionally, they realized that if the darkness would have persisted for 150 days or less, the ecosystems would have been able to recover. But if it lasted more than 200 days, there would have been irreplaceable damage as “some species went extinct and patterns of dominance shifted” the scientists explained. If the darkness would have lasted between 650 and 700 days, 65% to 81% of species would have been wiped out. Based on those calculations, the areas around the Hell Creek Formation would have endured darkness for approximately two years.
But that is only one region as Roopnarine noted in an email to Live Science, “Conditions varied across the globe because of atmospheric flow and temperature variation…” But as for the Hell Creek regions, it would have taken about 40 years for that ecosystem to begin to bounce back. It’s hard to image how much catastrophe one large impact caused.
Op 23 juni 2020, om 22:02 uur zagen Jasmina Van Wrydeve en haar moeder Manuela Dello een UFO in Zeebrugge (België) vanuit hun appartement vlakbij de zee. Ze slaagden erin het evenement vast te leggen en vertelden ons dat dit geen geïsoleerd evenement was. Volgens hen is er tegenwoordig veel UFO-activiteit op de Noordzee.
In 2018, a triangle-shaped UFO was spotted on a US military base and became international news. Experts analyze the original footage to determine its legitimacy.
Four new dinosaurs including the 'horned crocodile-faced hell heron' are among 550 new animal and plant species discovered by Natural History Museum staff this year
Four new dinosaurs including the 'horned crocodile-faced hell heron' are among 550 new animal and plant species discovered by Natural History Museum staff this year
Over the last 12 months, Natural History Museum staff have described a total of 552 species new to science
This includes four dinosaurs from the UK, one from China and one from Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco
There's also a newly-found beetle from India named after Larry the cat, Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office
Four new dinosaurs including the 'horned crocodile-faced hell heron' are among more than 550 new animal and plant species discovered by staff at the Natural History Museum (NHM) this year.
The museum's annual round-up of newly discovered species range from some of the smallest invertebrates swimming in the oceans to ferocious predators that stalked the land millions of years ago.
By far the biggest and most fearsome new species to have been described this year are a pair of giant carnivorous dinosaurs known as spinosaurs, discovered from remains on the Isle of Wight.
The predators were named the 'riverbank hunter' and 'horned crocodile-faced hell heron' after the swampy environment they would once have lived and hunted in.
The more ferocious of the two, the 'horned crocodile-faced hell heron', was named due to a series of low horns and bumps across the brow region and its 'heron-like' hunting style.
Both are thought to have roamed land that is now the the Isle of Wight around 129 million years ago.

NEWLY-FOUND DINOSAUR SPECIES
Ceratosuchops inferodios:Known as 'hell heron' and found in the Isle of Wight
Riparovenator milnerae: Known as 'riverbank hunter', also from the Isle of Wight
Brighstoneus simmondsi: An iguanodontian with an unusual snout also from the Isle of Wight
Spicomellus afer: The earliest ankylosaur and first to have been found in Africa
Pendraig milnerae: The earliest known carnivorous dinosaur from the UK
Rhomaleopakhus turpanensis: A chunky sauropod from China
The museum's total new species for discovered by staff this year – 552 – is despite international travel to field sites or other museum collections having remained largely off limits due to Covid-19 restrictions.
'It's been a fantastic year for the description of new dinosaurs, especially from the UK,' said Dr Susannah Maidment, a senior researcher in paleobiology at the NHM, who helped describe some of these new finds.
'Although we've known about the UK's dinosaur heritage for over 150 years, the application of new techniques and new data from around the world is helping us to uncover a hidden diversity of British dinosaurs.
'These specimens are parts of a vast palaeobiological jigsaw puzzle that allows us to understand environments of the past and how they changed over time.'
Riverbank hunter and hell heron were huge carnivorous dinosaurs that most likely walked upright. Their massive, crocodile-like jaws show that they mostly ate fish and possibly other dinosaurs too.
In total, four of these were from the UK, one was uncovered in China and the other from the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
Rhomaleopakhus turpanensis, from China, was a 'chunky' sauropod with an unusually large funny bone.
Meanwhile, Spicomellus afer from Morocco was an ankylosaur and had an odd series of spikes attached to the rib.
Ankylosaurs were a diverse group of armoured dinosaurs related to the stegosaurs, which were present throughout the Cretaceous period from 145 to 66 million years ago.

NHM made a number of other fossil finds this year, including algae, arachnids trapped in amber and fossil bryozoans – microscopic aquatic invertebrates that live in colonies, also known as moss animals.
The museum also found two ancient mammals – Megalomys camerhogne, which belonged to a group of rodents which once lived scattered across the Caribbean, and Borealestes cullinensis, a 'Jurassic mouse' from the Isle of Skye, Scotland that would have scurried around the feet of dinosaurs 166 million years ago.
Many of the new species described this year have been crustaceans, in particular 291 species of copepods – small, shrimp-like creatures that are found near water.
Despite their small and unassuming appearance, they are critical to our planet's ecology and carbon cycle, according to the NHM, and form the major component of zooplankton.
'Copepods are not only free-living but many are parasites, and they can be found living in virtually every other major animal group,' said Professor Geoff Boxshall, researcher in the department of life sciences at the NHM.
'I have been focusing my research on these parasitic copepods from fishes and marine invertebrate hosts.'
Museum scientists have also described 52 species of wasps, 13 moths, seven crabs, six flies, five amphipods and 90 beetles.
The moths includes Wallace's sphinx moth, which has the longest tongue of any insect, according to the NHM, used for reaching the bottom of the nectar tubes.
The moth is notable for having been predicted to exist by Charles Darwin, the father of the theory of evolution, some 40 years before it was recorded in the wild.
The beetles included a pair of glitteringly purple and green metallic beetles from India, a chunky monochromatic beetle with a large pair of jaws from the Philippines and Caccothryptus larryi, a minute marsh loving beetle named in honour of Larry the cat at 10 Downing Street.

There's also Rhabdophis bindi, a new species of snake from India and Bangladesh that lives in tropical evergreen forest.
Rhabdophis bindi has a red spot on the nape of the neck, 'reminiscent of the red beauty spot adorning the foreheads of Indian women', according to a paper describing the species.
Three new species of lizards have also been described, including a fan-throated lizard and a gecko from India, as well as one new species of frog from Vietnam.
There has also been a new species of caecilian, a type of snake-like amphibian which lives primarily underground and in the water.

Pictured here is impatiens versicolor - one of five new species of jewelweeds, or touch-me-nots, described from eastern Africa
NHM also found five new species of plants from eastern Africa. Known as jewelweeds or touch-me-nots, they usually produce delicate pink or white flowers, except for a few species which have switched to producing red flowers.
Rather than being pollinated by butterflies, these red flowers are visited by birds, which find it easier to pick the colour red out from amongst green foliage.
NHM staff were also involved in classification of a piece of space rock that fell to Earth in a blazing fireball in February this year.
The space rock burnt through the atmosphere before coming to a sudden stop on a driveway in the Gloucestershire town of Winchcombe.

Hundreds of people spotted the fireball streaking across the night sky, and within a matter of hours researchers were able to get out and recover over 600 grams of the meteorite that had travelled billions of kilometres.
Each official meteorite becomes its own type specimen, which is roughly analogous to being a new species.
'The Winchcombe meteorite is the first meteorite fall to be recovered in the UK for 30 years,' said Dr Helena Bates, a researcher at the museum who was involved with recovering the Winchcombe meteorite.
'Winchcombe is thought to come from an asteroid that has remained largely unchanged since the birth of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.'

It was a very busy and productive year for the Natural History Museum as their experts described 552 new species that included dinosaurs, crustaceans, plants, and even a meteorite.
The majority of the new species described by the museum were a group of crustaceans called copepods. Wherever there is water, you’ll find the small shrimp-like creatures. “Copepods are not only free-living but many are parasites and they can be found living in virtually every other major animal group,” stated Professor Geoff Boxshall. A total of 291 copepods species were described in 2021.
A total of 52 wasps, 13 moths, 7 crabs, 6 flies, and 5 amphipods were described as well. Additionally, 91 new beetle species were described that included a couple of green and purple glittering metallic beetles that were from India.
There were 10 new species of amphibians and reptiles that included five snakes. The other five included a fan-throated lizard and a gecko found in India; a frog from Vietnam; another frog that is categorized as likely extinct; and a snake-like amphibian called a caecilian. Eight algae species, six parasitic worms, and three diatoms were described as well.
(Not any of the frogs mentioned in this article.)
Five new plants species from the eastern part of Africa were described which included jewelweeds that have white or pink flowers (very few have red flowers).
Six new dinosaur species – four which were found in the United Kingdom – have been described by the museum. Two of them were large carnivorous spinosaurs that were found on the Isle of Wight. The other two that were discovered in the UK were a dinosaur with a huge nose called a Brighstoneus simmondsi (also found on the Isle of Wight); and the Pendraig milnerae which was the earliest ever carnivorous dinosaur found in the United Kingdom. The two species that were not found in the UK were the Spicomellus afer which was the first ever ankylosaur discovered in Africa; and a sauropod from China named Rhomaleopakhus turpanensis.
Other discoveries included fossil bryozoans (also called moss animals), algae, arachnids, and brachiopods that were trapped inside of amber. An ancient relative of crocodiles was described as well. There were two prehistoric mammals – Megalomys camerhogne from the Caribbean, and the Borealestes cullinensis which was a “Jurassic mouse” that lived about 166 million years ago in Scotland.
(Not the mouse mentioned in this article.)
A very interesting discovery was made in February of 2021 when a fireball flew through the sky before landing in a driveway in the town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. More than 600 grams of the meteorite were located in the driveway. It was revealed that the space rock had come from billions of kilometers away and was heated to more than 1,600 degrees Celsius (2,912 degrees Fahrenheit) when it streaked across the sky. This meteorite, which has been classified as being a carbonaceous chondrite, was the first to have been found in the United Kingdom in the last 30 years and is believed to date back 4.6 billion years when our Solar System first formed.
Pictures of some of the creatures and of the meteorite can be viewed here.
Another new species from the deep is the giant amphipod Eurythenes atacamensis, found to be living in the depths of the Atacama Trench.
Because of its connection to so many of the world’s religions, there are many stories in the Hebrew bible that are familiar to most people – even atheists. The Book of Exodus story of the burning bush – the original ‘call waiting’ sign of a bush in flames yet not being consumed that let Moses know he was about to receive an important message, is a good example. While few of these incidents have been proven by historians – even biblical one – the ‘burning bush’ may have roots based in a natural phenomenon, according to The New York Times. However, as in so many of these cases, the truth about one aspect may refute another. Finally, this new revelation once again links modern religions to practices and belief of previous non-Christian religions – a repurposing to help convince others to join voluntarily … before being dragged in by force. All of that is part of this new story of the burning bush.
“At midday, with the sun low in the sky on one of the shortest days of the year, he peered across a deep ravine and spotted a strange aura of light, flickering like flames, emanating from a spot on a sheer rock face.”
That’s not a modern translation of Hebrew text on a Dead Sea scroll but a 2003 event that begins the quest to explain the burning bush. According to The New York Times, a tour guide walking on Mount Karkom (Har Karkom or ‘Mountain of Saffron’) at the time of the winter solstice saw a glare of light reflected from the sides of a cave that the Israeli television quickly deemed the “burning bush” even though there was no bush and it occurred on the wrong mount – the mountain of the biblical version was Mount Sinai, whose real location remains disputed but is most often thought to be Mount Horeb. Did a guide just rewrite biblical history?
“At the base of Mount Karkom, named in Hebrew for a desert crocus, there is evidence that ancient migration trails converged here and that cultic rituals took place in the area. Mr. Anati identified what he thought was a sacrificial altar with the remains of 12 pillars of stone that could conceivably correspond to the one described in Exodus 24 that Moses built, representing the 12 tribes of Israel.”
Actually, he added credence to a theory proposed nearly 50 years earlier by Italian archeologist Emmanuel Anati, who found thousands of rock carvings and rock circles on a plateau of Mount Karkom, about 2,500 feet above sea level – including scenes some claimed matched stories in the Hebrew bible. Anati eventually propose that Mount Karkom “should be identified with the sacred mountain of the biblical narrations.” However, other scholars dispute that claim – pointing out that the carvings were made in the third millennium BCE while biblical scholars put the dating of the unproven historical exodus between 1600-1200 BCE.
Was is just a calendar error?
“Without binoculars or biblical vision, it was possible to make out a strange, if faint, glow, though some visitors expressed disappointment that the aura around the cave mouth was not more fiery.”
However, that didn’t stop a crowd from gathering on the 2021 winter solstice for a new tradition – the observation of the burning bush/cave on Mount Karkom. The New York Times reports that this year’s event included the man who started it all – Professor Anati, now in his 90s. (Photos here.)

Scores of people fanned across the edge of a ravine to see the “Burning Bush” phenomenon for themselves in the Negev Desert in southern Israel, Dec. 21, 2021. On the year’s shortest day, hundreds of Israelis ventured deep into the desert to witness a strange natural phenomenon atop an ancient pilgrimage site that some argue is where God spoke to Moses.

(Amit Elkayam/The New York Times)
He again witnessed the ‘glow’ but admitted he can’t prove this is what inspired the biblical story or that Mount Karkom is the true biblical Mount Sinai. He’d rather “bring all the opinions and evidence and let the reader decide for themselves.” That’s a noble cause, but he also refers to the area as “story of the history of humankind” – conveniently ignoring the histories going on at the same time (and long before) in the Far East, Africa, Australia and the Americas.
Gathering all of those cultural and religious histories together and THEN letting the reader decide for themselves would be an event worthy of a burning bush.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced today the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to extend International Space Station (ISS) operations through 2030, and to work with our international partners in Europe (ESA, European Space Agency), Japan (JAXA, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), Canada (CSA, Canadian Space Agency), and Russia (State Space Corporation Roscosmos) to enable continuation of the groundbreaking research being conducted in this unique orbiting laboratory through the rest of this decade.
“The International Space Station is a beacon of peaceful international scientific collaboration and for more than 20 years has returned enormous scientific, educational, and technological developments to benefit humanity. I’m pleased that the Biden-Harris Administration has committed to continuing station operations through 2030,” Nelson said. “The United States’ continued participation on the ISS will enhance innovation and competitiveness, as well as advance the research and technology necessary to send the first woman and first person of color to the Moon under NASA’s Artemis program and pave the way for sending the first humans to Mars. As more and more nations are active in space, it’s more important than ever that the United States continues to lead the world in growing international alliances and modeling rules and norms for the peaceful and responsible use of space.”

Over the past two decades, the United States has maintained a continuous human presence in orbit around the Earth to test technologies, conduct scientific research, and develop skills needed to explore farther than ever before. The unique microgravity laboratory has hosted more than 3,000 research investigations from over 4,200 researchers across the world and is returning enormous scientific, educational, and technological developments to benefit people on Earth. Nearly 110 countries and areas have participated in activities aboard the station, including more than 1,500,000 students per year in STEM activities.
Instruments aboard the ISS, used in concert with free-flying instruments in other orbits, help us measure the stresses of drought and the health of forests to enable improved understanding of the interaction of carbon and climate at different time scales. Operating these and other climate-related instruments through the end of the decade will greatly increase our understanding of the climate cycle xtending operations through 2030 will continue another productive decade of research advancement and enable a seamless transition of capabilities in low-Earth orbit to one or more commercially owned and operated destinations in the late 2020s. The decision to extend operations and NASA’s recent awards to develop commercial space stations together ensure uninterrupted, continuous human presence and capabilities; both are critical facets of NASA’s International Space Station transition plan.
Amerikaanse regering wil ruimtestation ISS in gebruik houden tot 2030
De Amerikaanse regering onder leiding van president Joe Biden wil het ruimtestation International Space Station (ISS) tot 2030 operationeel houden. Dat meldt Bill Nelson, het hoofd van de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA.
In een bericht op de website van NASA meldt Nelson dat de Amerikaanse regering wil samenwerken met andere ruimtevaartorganisaties zoals het European Space Agency (ESA) en het Russische Roscosmos om onderzoek te blijven doen in het ISS.
De relatie tussen Amerika en Rusland staat wel onder druk door onder andere de situatie in Oekraïne, maar ook het opblazen van een satelliet in november vorig jaar. Dat zorgde voor brokstukken, die gevaarlijk zijn voor de astronauten in het ISS. NASA was niet te spreken over de “gevaarlijke en onverantwoorde” rakettest.
Om het ISS in gebruik te houden tot 2030, moet het Amerikaanse Congres er geld ervoor vrijmaken. Ook de internationale partners moeten aan boord zijn. Op dit moment heeft de Amerikaanse overheid budget voorzien om het ISS operationeel te houden tot 2024.

A large top hat shaped UFO was seen over the city of Veria, Greece yesterday. The UFO caught so much attention that it made it to a Veria news site. It's a well known fact to UFO researchers worldwide that UFOs do create clouds and use those clouds both as a distraction and as camouflage. This is absolutely amazing and there is an alien base just a few hundred km away below Rocca Pia, Italy (friendship case) that extends out into the ocean...(cites friendship case report).

For a long time a cloud in the shape of a submissive disk stood on Veria Imathia. Time passed but still did not change shape. A flying saucer with a white hat… A strange phenomenon on New Year's day…
Guys, lets face it, the earth is covered 75% in water and alien craft can fly through space and even faster than light...so it stands to reason those alien craft can also move underwater. I believe that the safest location for an alien base is the floor of the ocean where they can come and go unnoticed by human eyes. However this alien base is off the Florida coast where its a hotbed of UFO activity. Its clear to me that these are 100% alien craft and the colors, shapes and time of day matches dozens of past sightings off the Florida coast.

We see all kinds of things in the sky, but one Naples man is perplexed by what he saw on Wednesday. “They were kind of glowing and flickering a little bit,” said Matt Krauss. It was Wednesday evening when he and his wife looked up. They didn’t see the moon, but instead a single bright light. “New lights appeared near it and they got very, very bright at that point,” he said. “There were four of them and they kind of moved in different directions.”According to Krauss, the lights didn’t make any sound and seemed to be hovering in place. “What I can’t explain is why they were so bright, why they were stationary for, one of them was stationary for 15 minutes,” he said. Southwest Florida International Airport shared if anything abnormal was going on. They deferred us to the FAA. The FAA says we’d have to ask the military.

This seems like it might be a Google glitch at first, but if so then it would not make any sense of why it happened? You see the planes in front and in back of the aircraft are both normal. The planes on the runway about to take off are all normal. This one aircraft however appears different than the rest. Maybe it is a normal aircraft, but what is the phenomenon that was the catalyst for this situation? I have heard a lot about UFOs disguising as normal aircraft, and this could be one of them. But also, it could be a super top secret project within this craft...something with a lot of energy within it...something that could cause a reflective bubble that could do this...like an experimental new radar or cloaking device. It may even be that a single passenger on this aircraft was not human, but alien with abilities to....slow time or speed it up perhaps. One thing I do know...this is not a normal glitch by far. There is something mysterious is happening with this aircraft.
On a geologic timescale, the emergence of the human “dataome” is like a sudden invasion by extraterrestrials or an asteroid impact that precipitates a mass extinction
Something very old, very powerful and very special has been unleashed on Earth.
Humans are strange. For a global species, we’re not particularly genetically diverse, thanks in part to how our ancient roaming explorations caused “founder effects” and “bottleneck events” that restricted our ancestral gene pool. We also have a truly outsize impact on the planetary environment without much in the way of natural attrition to trim our influence (at least not yet).
But the strangest thing of all is how we generate, exploit, and propagate information that is not encoded in our heritable genetic material, yet travels with us through time and space. Not only is much of that information represented in purely symbolic forms—alphabets, languages, binary codes—it is also represented in each brick, alloy, machine, and structure we build from the materials around us. Even the symbolic stuff is instantiated in some material form or the other, whether as ink on pages or electrical charges in nanoscale pieces of silicon.
Altogether, this “dataome” has become an integral part of our existence. In fact, it may have always been an integral, and essential, part of our existence since our species of hominins became more and more distinct some 200,000 years ago. This idea, which I also pursue in my upcoming book, The Ascent of Information, leads to a number of quite startling and provocative proposals.
For example, let’s consider our planetary impact. Today we can look at our species’ energy use and see that of the roughly six to seven terawatts of average global electricity production, about 3 percent to 4 percent is gobbled up by our digital electronics, in computing, storing and moving information. That might not sound too bad—except the growth trend of our digitized informational world is such that it requires approximately 40 percent more power every year. Even allowing for improvements in computational efficiency and power generation, this points to a world in some 20 years where all of the energy we currently generate in electricity will be consumed by digital electronics alone.
And that’s just one facet of the energy demands of the human dataome. We still print onto paper, and the energy cost of a single page is the equivalent of burning five grams of high-quality coal. Digital devices, from microprocessors to hard drives, are also extraordinarily demanding in terms of their production, owing to the deep repurposing of matter that is required. We literally fight against the second law of thermodynamics to forge these exquisitely ordered, restricted, low-entropy structures out of raw materials that are decidedly high-entropy in their messy natural states. It is hard to see where this informational tsunami slows or ends.
All of which raises the question: Why exactly are we doing this?
An unexpected answer is that it’s not just us doing this. Our dataome looks like a distinct, although entirely symbiotic (even endosymbiotic), phenomenon. Homo sapiens arguably only exists as a truly unique species because of our coevolution with a wealth of externalized information; starting from languages held only in neuronal structures through many generations, to our tools and abstractions on pottery and cave walls, all the way to today’s online world.
But symbiosis implies that all parties have their own interests to consider as well. Seeing ourselves this way opens the door to asking whether we’re calling all the shots. After all, in a gene-centered view of biology, all living things are simply temporary vehicles for the propagation and survival of information. In that sense the dataome is no different, and exactly how information survives is less important than the fact that it can do so. Once that information and its algorithmic underpinnings are in place in the world, it will keep going forever if it can.
A very simple example can be seen in any of the great works of human literature, from Lao Tzu to Shakespeare. These writings, these informational packages, have found a way to persist through time by attaching themselves to us. We eagerly read them, restructuring our brains to remember them, and we go to great lengths to copy and reproduce these works, again and again across the centuries and in many languages and forms. But these texts aren’t just memes; they’re more like parts of a budded-off extended human phenotype that has its own processes and its own capacity to pressure the world around it to try to ensure its survival.
In the course of life’s three-to-four-billion-year history on Earth, it doesn’t seem that anything exactly like this has actually happened before. On a geologic timescale, the emergence of the human dataome is like a sudden alien invasion, or an asteroid impact that precipitates a mass extinction—changing how energy flows and how the biosphere functions. It’s not just flesh-and-blood life on this world anymore. By a quirk of evolution, our very existence as clever talkative apes has gone hand-in-hand with the unleashing of something else, a new trick for the restructuring of matter in service of a phenomenon with very deep roots in the statistical arrangement of atoms and molecules, in their order and disorder or dispersal: in entropy and its cousin, information.
Look around where you are right now, at the walls of your room, or the chair you’re sitting on. Or the light you’re reading by, and the screen or paper you’re reading these words from. In the end, all of these things are here in support of data, of ideas and of the most potent quantity in the universe: information. Our very alien dataome may just be the harbinger of things to come.

Scientists Say There May Be “Humans” All Over the Universe
Scientists Say There May Be “Humans” All Over the Universe
In a galaxy far, far away...

Imagine, if you will, that future humans manage to travel to other worlds and find… more humans.
According to one University of Cambridge astrobiologist, that scenario may be more likely than you’d think.
In a new interview with the BBC‘s Science Focus magazine, an evolutionary palaeobiologist at the institution’s Department of Earth Sciences named Simon Conway Morris declared that researchers can “say with reasonable confidence” that human-like evolution has occurred in other locations around the universe.
The core of Morris’ belief comes from the theory of convergent evolution, which claims that, as Science Focus put it, “random effects eventually average out so that evolution converges, tending to produce similar organisms in any given environment.” The magazine used the examples of flight, which “has evolved independently on Earth at least four times — in birds, bats, insects and pterosaurs.”
In short, convergent evolution theory posits that evolution itself is a law of nature — and, as a logical endpoint, it’s likely that evolution would operate the same way on different planets as it does here on Earth. In other words, it’s theoretically possible that the blue and green alien humanoids you see on “Star Trek” could be, well, actually out there.
Morris isn’t the only Cambridge man who believes alien life would have evolved in ways “analogous to a human.”
Arik Kershenbaum, a zoologist at the rarified British institution, wrote a whole book about the concept of alien evolution.
“Because evolution is the explanatory mechanism for life everywhere,” Kershenbaum told Quanta magazine earlier this year, “then the principles that we uncover on Earth should be applicable in the rest of the universe.”
Kershenbaum argued that while it’s “tempting” to envision alien races who don’t have the same cultural interests humans have, such as philosophy and literature, we have to remember that they didn’t just spring up out of a vacuum as advanced technological beings. Even alien lifeforms with greater technology than humans, Kershenbaum said, would have “evolved from a pre-technological species.”
“If that pre-technological species went on to develop all the things that we have now, chances are that they were built on building blocks that served that social purpose — things like bonding between group members, transmission of information and useful ideas between group members,” he told Quanta. “A pre-technological alien civilization could be singing and dancing and telling stories just like pre-technological human civilization did, because it serves the same purpose.”
It’s compelling to imagine other worlds where humanoid lifeforms, in Kershenbaum’s wording, are “singing and dancing and telling stories” just like on Earth. And if the laws of evolution are as strong as Darwinists like Kershenbaum and Morris believe, that ups both our propensity for relating to and communicating with aliens — and, unfortunately, for warring with them as well.
It's one of the most well-known pieces of speculative technology in science fiction: the Stillsuit.
As an essential feature of Frank Herbert's Dune, the Stillsuit is the body-fluid recycling full-body suit worn by the Fremen of Arrakis, a technological adaptation to a desert world with almost no water but home to an extremely valuable resource that leads to human colonization of the barren planet.
While there isn't any of the spice melange on Mars (at least none that we know of), Dune's Arrakis has some very strong parallels to the red planet just down the way from us, and some important lessons to teach about survival in such an unforgiving environment.
Arrakis as a stand-in for Mars
When Herbert wrote Dune in the 1960s, he drew on plenty of real-life places and events to build the universe in his series of novels. The most obvious inspiration is the Arabian Peninsula, under whose deserts lie vast deposits of another natural resource that has fueled the engines of empire oil.
Mars is also another obvious analog. It has been known since the late 19th and early 20th century that Mars was, at best, an inhospitably cold, dusty planet with little evidence of water on its surface beyond its polar ice caps (Percival Lowell's fantastical Martian canals aside).
By the time Herbert was writing Dune, Mars had already been the setting for some of the most formative science fiction literature of the 19th and 20th centuries, including some of the pioneering works of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
So it shouldn't be surprising that Herbert might draw inspiration from the science fiction tropes that had been long established by the time he was writing in the 1960s.
Recreating our well-known desert neighbor as a far-away sand world full of colossal sandworms, deadly political intrigue, and Stillsuit wearing Fremen doesn't diminish its capacity to inspire solutions to the genuinely pressing challenge of our current moment in space exploration.
The challenge of water
Water is second only to oxygen as the most precious resource the human body requires to function, but it is just as evanescent, sometimes quite literally. The body uses water to filter and carry away various impurities in our body through sweat, tears, urine, and various other bodily functions, and it is surprisingly liberal with its liquid use, with adults losing around 2 to 3 liters of water a day.
As a result, the body is designed to take in freshwater regularly to replace the water it has lost, which obviously poses a problem if there isn't any freshwater to drink. With any number of bodily functions slowly draining away the body's water supply, dehydration can set in within hours in some conditions, with severe dehydration following quickly after, and death coming within around three to five days.
We know Mars has some water, but whether any exists outside of its icecaps is still an open question. However, if there is any, it will likely be very difficult for human explorers to access.
Most of the water on Mars that we know of exists in the planet’s cold polar regions as ice, but with the temperatures at the poles reaching nearly -200 °Fahrenheit (-128 °C), getting to that water would take an industrial operation that would probably involve years of effort after the first footfall of human explorers on the red planet.
The first humans on Mars will likely need to bring water with them, or at least the means to make or filter out freshwater from other sources. Enter the idea of the Stillsuit.
In Herbert's novel, Stillsuits were designed to not just cool the body to limit water loss, but more importantly, to capture any water lost through the body's natural functions and recycle it. The fictional suit consisted of various layers that absorb the moisture lost through sweating, breathing, and urination, and then filter the impurities to produce drinkable water that would be stored in the suit. The wearer could then drink the reclaimed water from a tube attached to their neck.
In Herbert's novel, it was claimed that a well-made Fremen Stillsuit was so good at recycling its wearer's water, that the wearer would lose only a thimbleful of water a day on a desert world like Arrakis. The suit is described in the book by planetologist Liet Kynes:
"It's basically a micro-sandwich — a high-efficiency filter and heat-exchange system. The skin-contact layer's porous. Perspiration passes through it, having cooled the body ... near-normal evaporation process. The next two layers . . . include heat exchange filaments and salt precipitators. Salt's reclaimed. Motions of the body, especially breathing and some osmotic action provide the pumping force. Reclaimed water circulates to catchpockets from which you draw it through this tube in the clip at your neck... Urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads. In the open desert, you wear this filter across your face, this tube in the nostrils with these plugs to ensure a tight fit. Breathe in through the mouth filter, out through the nose tube. With a Fremen suit in good working order, you won't lose more than a thimbleful of moisture a day..."
Whether we could ever engineer a suit for Martian explorers that was as efficient at water reclamation remains to be seen. But if we're being honest, any Martian explorer will likely need something about as efficient, if not more so, if they have any hope of surviving on Mars.
How feasible are actual Stillsuits for future astronauts on Mars?
Fortunately, we've been doing something similar to Dune's Stillsuits for a while now on the International Space Station.
"There is an entire closed-loop system onboard the [International Space Station] dedicated to water," NASA says. "First, Astronaut wastewater is captured, such as urine, sweat, or even the moisture from their breath. Then impurities and contaminants are filtered out of the water. The final product is potable water that can be used to rehydrate food, bathe, or drink. Repeat. The system sounds disgusting, but recycled water on the ISS is cleaner than what most Earthlings drink."
This makes a lot of sense since there isn't a whole lot of water in low Earth orbit, so in many ways, the International Space Station is an Arakis – or Mars – in miniature, minus the giant sandworms.
This gives us a sense of what future exploration of both Mars and the Moon will look like. Since both worlds lack a breathable atmosphere, any astronauts on either the Moon or Mars will effectively be existing in an enclosed, airtight environment that would be perfectly capable of capturing any liquids, moisture, or vapor produced by the astronauts within it.
From there, it really is just a matter of separating out the potable liquid water from the waste material, which is something we are already doing. By the time we put humans on Mars sometime in the 2030s or later, the technology for reclaiming human wastewater will almost certainly have advanced enough that it might even make Dune's Stillsuits look downright wasteful.
WATCH: American Airlines flight has close encounter with UFO – Feb 25, 2021
An unidentified flying object reportedly whizzed past an American Airlines passenger flight over New Mexico in a close encounter captured in a radio transmission from the pilot.
The incident happened around 1 p.m. local time on Sunday, while American Airlines flight 2292 was en route from Hebron, Ky., to Phoenix, Ariz.
A 15-second audio clip captures the pilot’s excited voice as he tries to make sense of something he spotted above the clouds during the flight.
“Do you have any targets up here?” he says over the radio. “We just had something go over the top of us that — I hate to say this — looked like a long cylindrical object.”
The pilot describes the object as a “cruise missile type of thing” that was “moving really fast.”
He adds that the object “went right over the top of us.”
Steve Douglass, an airline radio enthusiast, first captured the audio chatter for his blog. American Airlines later confirmed that the audio was authentic, and referred all further questions to the FBI.
“Following a debrief with our Flight Crew and additional information received, we can confirm this radio transmission was from American Airlines Flight 2292 on Feb. 21,” American Airlines said in a statement to several outlets. “For any additional questions on this, we encourage you to reach out to the FBI.”
Douglass said he was listening to the airwaves on Sunday when he heard the strange tone of the pilot’s voice.
“I heard this aircraft, basically, above all other aircraft because the tone in his voice was so excited,” Douglass told local station ABC 7.
He added that it’s unlikely that the object was a missile, because Sundays are a “day off” for the military.
No military test notifications were made ahead of time, ABC 7 reports.

Cockpit audio recordings have captured a handful of close encounters over the years, though some have been more obviously terrestrial than others.
Last year, for example, pilots reported seeing a man with a jetpack around Los Angeles International Airport on two separate occasions.

Nevertheless, the close encounter sparked some speculation about aliens on social media, especially given that New Mexico is the site of the infamous alleged Roswell UFO incident.
The so-called UFO involved in Sunday’s encounter remains, by definition, an unidentified flying object.
The Pentagon in recent years has confirmed several recordings and encounters with UFOs, which it calls Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). Officials say they want pilots to be more comfortable with reporting such encounters due to the potential danger they might represent.

The government recently released a vast trove of documents about UFO sightings over the past several decades, although enthusiasts are still combing over those documents for evidence of alien visitors.
U.S. defence officials have not said that UAPs or UFOs are proof of alien visitors, despite rampant speculation that the truth is out there.
