Talk of UFOs ignited by mysterious ‘red trails’ seen in darkness off the Outer Banks BY MARK PRICE
Talk of UFOs ignited by mysterious ‘red trails’ seen in darkness off the Outer Banks
BYMARK PRICE
A man taking time lapse images of the Milky Way also captured a series of odd light swirls in the sky, and the resulting footage has ignited talk of UFO activity off North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
Artist Wes Snyder is well known in the Southeast for his coastal photography — particularly images taken at night — but even he is at a loss for what the rotating red trails might be.
The lights are seen multiple times in his video — always along the horizon — and they appear to be circling something.
Snyder says the movement defies easy explanation, when taking into account the time lapse process: Each photo is taken with a 10-second exposure, with one second in between.
Wes Snyder recording time lapse photos off the Outer Banks and found mysterious "red trails" that some say are UFOs. Others believe it is military craft.
VIDEO SCREENSHOT
“I’ve caught thousands of plane trails and never have any of them looked like this, so I’m certain they are not your typical aircraft,” Snyder told McClatchy news.
“I’ve caught these trails before in several other time lapses, but I have yet to figure out what kind of plane possibly has these capabilities. ... Whatever they are, they have some incredible maneuverability.”
The photos were taken between 8 and 10 p.m. on Sept. 27, with cameras facing west, toward the mainland. Snyder says the trails were “visible for 10-20 minutes.” The video was only recently posted online, because of the time it takes to edit images taken simultaneously by three cameras, he said.
“We (the Outer Banks) are not too far away from a bombing range and eastern North Carolina is known for lots of military aircraft,” Snyder said. “My bet is that it’s military aircraft training over the Pamlico Sound.
“All I want to know is, how can I get a ride in whatever it was,” he added.
Why the Bible banned the book of Enoch? The true story of Humanity! – GAF.TV
Why the Bible banned the book of Enoch? The true story of Humanity! – GAF.TV
In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books – The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables, The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions, and The Epistles of Enoch – containing some 100 chapters. These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch in the Book of Genesis – Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah, the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah's Ark. Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah's Ark. In fact, the Book of Enoch provides an entirely different recounting of the events leading up to the Great Flood of Noah's time, that is, a completely different doctrinal history. It tells a story of the Watchers, explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels, sent to earth to watch over humans at some undefined and ancient point in time. Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans, these Watchers became infatuated by human women, and in short order, began to engage in depraved sexual acts with them. The Book of Enoch tells of the children born through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans, called the Nephilim. These Nephilim were as described: "giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity," or, said another way, "supernatural, man-eating giants." Angered with what the Watchers had done, those described as gods chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth. Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.
""" Why the Bible banned the book of Enoch? The true story of Humanity """
What might we find: little green men or microbes? How might we find them: radio waves or strange chemicals in the planet's atmosphere? Something no one has even thought of yet?
Over the decades, scientists considering the possibility of life beyond Earth have pondered what such life might look like, how humans might be able to identify it from afar — and whether communication between the two worlds might be possible.
That thinking has included developing classification systems ready to fill with aliens. One such system is called the Kardashev scale, after the Soviet astronomer who proposed it in 1964, and evaluates alien civilizations based on the energy they can harness.
The Kardashev scale is a classification system for hypothetical extraterrestrial civilizations. The scale includes three categories based on how much energy a civilization is using.
Kardashev describes type I as a "technological level close to the level presently attained on the Earth," type II as "a civilization capable of harnessing the energy radiated by its own star" and type III as "a civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy."
Each type also includes a numerical cut-off for the energy involved, but those weren't arbitrary cut-offs. "He used things that are easy to visualize," Valentin Ivanov, an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory who has built on Kardashev's work, told Space.com. "I'm almost tempted to say it's a publicity stunt, these comparisons that he uses to make it easier for people to understand."
Kardashev's scale is included in a five-page paper published in 1964 and called "Transmission of information by extraterrestrial civilizations." (The paper was originally published in Russian, but an English translation was published the same year.)
Although the scale is what caught people's imaginations, "Transmission of information by extraterrestrial civilizations" focuses on calculating how powerful a light signal from any point of the universe would need to be for radio scientists at the time to detect it. This value is also the numerical cut-off for the energy use of a type II civilization.
WHO WAS KARDASHEV?
Nikolai Kardashev was a Soviet and Russian astrophysicist whodied in 2019. Kardashev was roughly contemporary with early search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) leaders like Frank Drake, who publishedhis famous equationthree years before Kardashev's paper; Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison, who predicted what an extraterrestrial signal might look like; andFreeman Dyson, who pondered ways alien civilizations could surpass the limits of a planet.
In addition to his scale, Kardashev developed a technique called very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI), which uses a global network of radio dishes as one radio telescope the size of Earth. Perhaps most famously, VLBI is used by the Event Horizon Telescope to observe black holes, including producing the first ever black hole image, published in 2019.
Kardashev also proposed supplementing Earth-based network VLBI observatories with space-based telescopes to increase its observing power even more. He advocated for the Russian mission RadioAstron, which launched in 2011, to do just this sort of work, according to a review of VLBI developments.
WHERE ARE HUMANS ON THE KARDASHEV SCALE?
If working only within the basic categories, humans are a type I civilization on the Kardashev scale (a civilization with a working Dyson sphere structure harvesting its star's light would qualify as type II). Literally speaking, because humans have not harnessed the equivalent of the entire energy of Earth, other scientists have said that humans rank as more like a 0.7.
HOW DOES THE KARDASHEV SCALE RELATE TO SETI?
Scientists and science-fiction thinkers alike have referenced Kardashev's scale throughout the decades, and they have both praised and criticized the system.
One benefit of Kardashev's scale is that it focuses on a civilization's detectability by humans, rather than its technological advancement writ large, much of which might come in ways that astronomers cannot observe.
However, it has also been dubbed overly simplistic, both in considering only one characteristic and in its few, broad categories. (The iconic astronomer Carl Sagan argued that Kardashev's categories represented too vast of leaps in energy consumption and proposed dividing each into smaller categories — type 1.1, type 1.2, etc.)
The Kardashev scale's focus on infinite growth as a measure of progress has also become difficult to swallow. It was rooted in the dominance of SETI at the time by radio astronomers, Ivanov said. "For radio astronomers, bigger is better," he said. "Intuitively, for them, more power meant a more advanced civilization." Yet over the decades, as humans have begun to experience the global chaos caused by our tapping of fossil fuels, the risks of idealizing constant energy-hunger have become clear.
Kardashev's paper also speaks to the continuing core tension of the search for life beyond Earth: is it more valuable to look for biosignatures, changes to a planet that only life at some scale from microbes to manatees can cause, or for technosignatures, signals like radio waves that rely on not just life, but intelligent life skilled in noticeable technologies? "There is an ongoing argument which of the two is more important," Ivanov said.
But while Kardashev's work focuses exclusively on technosignatures, it acknowledges the biosignature side as well and suggests that each search can inform the other. "The discovery of even the very simplest organisms, on Mars for instance, would greatly increase the probability that many type II civilizations exist in the galaxy," he wrote. "Radio astronomical searches could of course play a decisive part in resolving this problem."
Nevertheless, the true heart of the paper that includes Kardashev's scale was a broader statement about SETI. "It's often forgotten that what he did was to estimate the technical feasibility of interstellar communications," Ivanov said. "The classification that he came up with is almost an afterthought of that paper."
And in the paper's conclusion, Kardashev argues that even if the calculations don't hold up, the potential reality of interstellar communications should.
"We should like to note that the estimates arrived at here are unquestionably of no more than a tentative nature," Kardashev wrote. "But all of them bear witness to the fact that, if terrestrial civilization is not a unique phenomenon in the entire universe, then the possibility of establishing contacts with other civilizations by means of present-day radio physics capabilities is entirely realistic."
Looking back on the paper 50 years after its publication, one researcher wrote that Kardashev's scale "was meant to represent a practical guideline for what could be expected in the course of SETI searches, not a profound theoretical insight into the nature of extraterrestrial intelligence."
And even as scientists interrogate Kardashev's ideas, the scale remains an important facet of SETI work, Ivanov said. "His name will stay."

INDIA IS TESTING A SPACECRAFT THAT LOOKS LIKE A TINY NASA SPACE SHUTTLE
INDIA IS TESTING A SPACECRAFT THAT LOOKS LIKE A TINY NASA SPACE SHUTTLE
IT'S ADORABLE!
GODL-INDIA
Similar Shuttles
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, India’s paying a huge compliment to NASA with its latest space vehicle design.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), the country’s national space agency, recently announced plans to test out its reusable launch vehicle-technology demonstrator (RLV-TD) in the next few months, The Times of India reports. The vehicle itself bears a striking resemblance
However, the demonstrator is adorably small compared to a full-sized space shuttle. That’s by design, though, since it’ll only be used as part of experiments to prove the concept, before being scaled up so it can carry a whole crew of astronauts instead of ants.
Aiming for Orbit
The first test will involve a landing experiment in which the RLV-TD will be carried via helicopter until it’s between three to five kilometers high before being released. The vehicle will then glide towards a runway roughly four kilometers away and autonomously land.
“Once we successfully complete this mission and we have validated the software, landing gear, and get data on how the aerodynamics sensors worked to maneuver the aircraft… we will be ready for the orbital re-entry experiment,” Unnikrishnan Nair, director of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center, told the Times of India.
Since the shuttle will be reusable, it’ll also cut a ton of costs for the burgeoning Indian space program, which is operating with relatively more limited budget and resources than more advanced programs such as NASA.
Ultimately, it could be a great investment for the ISRO and one that will hopefully bear fruit for a burgeoning space program that’s seen its fair share of setbacks in recent years due to the pandemic — as well as catastrophic rocket explosions.

I’ve seen some of those videos from Navy pilots, and I must tell you that they are quite eyebrow-raising when you look at them. You try to ensure that you have as much data as possible in terms of visuals and also diverse types of technical collection of sensors that you have at the time.
Also, I believe, it’s important to reach out into other environments and find out, were there any type of weather phenomena at that time that might have, in fact, created the appearance of the phenomenon that you’re looking at? Were there some things that were happening on the ground, or other types of phenomena that could help explain quite a mystery as far as what is there?
I think an important thing for analysts to do is not to go into this type of challenge either discounting certain types of possibilities or believing in advance that it is X, Y, or Z. You really have to approach it with an open mind but get as much data as possible and get as much expertise as possible brought to bear.
COWEN: At the end of all that sifting and interpreting, what do you think is the most likely hypothesis?
F-18
BRENNAN: [laughs] I don’t know. When people talk about it, is there other life besides what’s in the States, in the world, the globe? Life is defined in many different ways. I think it’s a bit presumptuous and arrogant for us to believe that there’s no other form of life anywhere in the entire universe. What that might be is subject to a lot of different views.
But I think some of the phenomena we’re going to be seeing continues to be unexplained and might, in fact, be some type of phenomenon that is the result of something that we don’t yet understand and that could involve some type of activity that some might say constitutes a different form of life. Transcript from Unidentified Aerial Phenomena YouTube channel

UFO over disasters
UFO over disaster
Many people have noticed that UFOs are often seen near hospitals and various catastrophes where deaths of people occur. Recently my brother had a heart attack and fell to the bottom of the stairs. His wife called 911 and he was taken to the hospital where it was diagnosed that he died and departed this Earth. The Doctors worked to revive him. He states, “I watched the entire episode about eight feet above my body and saw a bright light and felt warm and comfortable and the call from above. I do not fear death and look forward to the possibility of a new form of life after this one!”
Welcome in planet Heaven
Another friend was in a severe car accident and is thought to have died. He claims he has gone to heaven and was welcomed by his mother and father, great grandmother, and his friends and relatives. They all appeared as once he knew them with radiant and joyful faces. All were about the same age in the late thirties. One child he recognized who had died about five years old was in his teens. Just as suddenly as he arrived at the gates of heaven, he left. All of this might happen by magic, but technology could be involved.
My brother-in-law was dying of cancer, and I was at his home to watch his final hours. I was outside when a very brilliant flash of light was seen that flew through the roof and climbed into the sky. Patricia his wife came out the door and yelled, “John just passed away.” I told her about the mysterious flash. Christianity promises eternal life for those who believe; there is evidence could UFOs participate in these promises?
UFO heading for Disaster
George who lived next to a farm in Ohio started noticing UFOs fling into and out of a field near his home and started filming them. He also listened to the police radio calls and noticed that when a serious accident occurred on the Ohio Turnpike the UFOs departed quickly heading towards the accident or a hospital.

Looks Good for Standard Dark Energy
The cosmic microwave background as seen from the Planck Satellite
Lambda-CDM, accelerated expansion of the universe. The timeline in this schematic diagram extends from the Big Bang/inflation era 13.7 “billion years” ago to the present cosmological time.
Most modern cosmological models are based on the cosmological principle, which states that our observational location in the universe is not unusual or special; on a large-enough scale, the universe looks the same in all directions (isotropy) and from every location (homogeneity).[6]
Jack Sarfatti writes, we present the first cosmology results from large-scale structure using the full 5000 deg2 of imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Data Release 1. We perform an analysis of large-scale structure combining three two-point correlation functions (3×2pt): (i) cosmic shear using 100 million source galaxies, (ii) galaxy clustering, and (iii) the cross-correlation of source galaxy shear with lens galaxy positions, galaxy–galaxy lensing. To achieve the cosmological precision enabled by these measurements has required updates to nearly every part of the analysis from DES Year 1, including the use of two independent galaxy clustering samples, modeling advances, and several novel improvements in the calibration of gravitational shear and photometric redshift inference.
The analysis was performed under strict conditions to mitigate confirmation or observer bias; we describe specific changes made to the lens galaxy sample following unblinding of the results and tests of the robustness of our results to this decision. We model the data within the flat ΛCDMand wCDM cosmological models, marginalizing over 25 nuisance parameters. We find consistent cosmological results between the three two-point correlation functions; their combination yields clustering amplitude S8=0.776+0.017−0.017 and matter density Ωm=0.339+0.032−0.031 in ΛCDM, mean with 68% confidence limits; S8=0.775+0.026−0.024, Ωm=0.352+0.035−0.041, and dark energy equation-of-state parameter w=−0.98+0.32−0.20 in wCDM. These constraints correspond to an improvement in signal-to-noise of the DES Year 3 3×2pt data relative to DES Year 1 by a factor of 2.1, about 20% more than expected from the increase in observing area alone. This combination of DES data is consistent with the prediction of the model favored by the Planck 2018 cosmic microwave background (CMB) primary anisotropy data, which is quantified with a probability-to-exceed p=0.13–0.48. We find better agreement between DES 3×2pt and Planck than in DES Y1, despite the significantly improved precision of both. When combining DES 3×2pt data with available baryon acoustic oscillation, redshift-space distortion, and type Ia supernovae data, we find p=0.34. Combining all of these datasets with Planck CMB lensing yields joint parameter constraints of S8=0.812+0.008−0.008, Ωm=0.306+0.004−0.005, h=0.680+0.004−0.003, and ∑mν<0.13 ev="" 95="" c="" l="" in="" cdm="" s8="0.812+0.008−0.008," strong="">Ωm=0.302+0.006−0.006, h=0.687+0.006−0.007, and w=−1.031+0.030−0.027 in wCDM.
Disc Observed Following ISS
UFO near ISS
Franklyn. TN — on June 23, 2010, I thought I was watching the ISS fly over, but several things convinced me that what I was seeing was not the ISS. There were many times in years past that I took my youngest son out to watch the ISS/Shuttle connected and flying overhead. The ISS did fly over my area this night and its track was SW to ENE for 4 minutes for the ISS. The sighting duration time began at 9:45 to 9:49 PM was 80 degrees, near straight over my head.
I first spotted the second object at a long distance in the SW at about 35 degrees, between the moon and the top of trees from my vantage point from 9:48/49 PM to 9:51 PM. Its brightness was brighter than the moon, no clouds in the sky. Its size was about two times brighter than Jupiter at it biggest in the winter sky. The object stayed the exact same brightness and size during the entire sighting time for 1 1/2 minutes unlike the ISS/Shuttle, where there is a gradual buildup to full brightness and then a gradual ease to disappearance. My 1-to-1/2-minute sighting time was in direct contradiction to the 4-minute fly by duration time of the ISS. The shorter time span meant that what I saw was traveling much faster than the ISS. MUFON
I had my binoculars and watched the object the entire time through them except for about 5 seconds as I raised the binoculars up to my eyes. I could very clearly see that the object was not just a bright, white light in the sky, but was a structured object different from the ISS. The bottom part of the object was elongated like a hot dog or hot dog bun, and had a rounded, dome structure on top, dead center. I could see the outline of this object during the entire sighting time. From my perspective, the object had a typical saucer shape to it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Now this was just sent into me by email from a Russian YouTube subscriber of UFO Sighting Daily. He said there was a disk near the SpaceX rocket test and the UFO stayed there for many hours. I went back and checked the old feed that is still online. In the video the UFO was seen for about six hours of the eleven-hour broadcast. How did no-one else see this? Well, one explanation is that the UFO was cloaked and that would make it 99.9% transparent. However, what the aliens failed to realize is that UFOs have mass, and they displace the clouds around them, causing a thickening of the clouds, which allow us to see a dark disk. This is 100% proof that aliens are closely watching SpaceX rocket launches. But this makes me wonder…is Elon Musk an alien? And are those his alien friends he works with in the disk?

40% Increase in Premature Non-COVID Deaths in 2021
ER 4% increase in deaths’
Diamond Mine of Data? Insurance Companies Report 40% Increase in Premature Non-COVID Deaths that the news will ignore.
Insurers in Indiana and India report similar rates of non-COVID-related premature deaths. “I’m sure I’m one of many who wonder what kind of diamond mine of data the insurance companies are sitting on,” said educator and statistician Mathew Crawford.
An Indiana insurance executive dropped a bombshell statistic during an end-of-year virtual news conference, reporting a “stunning” 40% increase in the death rate among 18- to 64-year-old adults compared to pre-pandemic levels.
OneAmerica’s CEO Scott Davison also described a major uptick in both short- and long-term disability claims.
The insurance executive rated the extraordinarily high death rate as “the highest … we have seen in the history of this business,” adding the trend is “consistent across every player in that business.”
To further underscore the import of his statements, Davison said, “Just to give you an idea of how bad [40%] is, a … one-in-200 catastrophe would be a 10% increase over pre-pandemic. So, 40% is just unheard of.”
Contrary to what the public might assume — given the media’s unremitting coverage of COVID-19 — Davison reported most of the death claims listed causes of death other than COVID.
Commenting on the news, Steve Kirsch, executive director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, wrote, “It would take something REALLY BIG to have an effect this big.”
Moreover, Kirsch said, the culprit would have to be something first introduced in 2021 — “something new … that a vast number of people would be exposed to” — such as COVID shots.
Vaccine scientist Dr. Robert Malone and statistician Jessica Rose, Ph.D., agreed that experimental COVID injections should be considered prime suspects.
Around the country, hospitals are reporting increased admissions for serious non-COVID-related illnesses that just happen to match up to the types of adverse events reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) following COVID vaccination.
In fact, at a different Indiana news conference in December, the state’s chief medical officer reported Indiana is experiencing its highest hospitalization rate in five years.
While claiming not to have a breakdown of causes, an Indiana hospital association official noted that the majority of intensive care patients are in the hospital for illnesses and conditions having nothing to do with COVID.
Many patients arrive in ambulance
In a September study described as “narrative-shattering,” Harvard, Tufts and Veterans Affairs researchers reported that approximately half of hospitalized patients “showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021” had likely been admitted “for another reason entirely.”
In Ventura County, California, which is witnessing a startling spike in non-COVID-related hospitalizations, nurse whistleblowers argue the vaccines should be one of the first explanations considered. Why else, they ask, would otherwise healthy adults be showing up in droves with brain bleeds, heart attacks, autoimmune issues, and lung abnormalities?
Autopsies of individuals who died following COVID vaccination reveal shocking pathological alterations most frequently affecting the heart and lungs but also the brain and other organs.
A profitable industry that intends to remain profitable
By revenue, the U.S. has the largest insurance industry in the world, valued in 2020 at $1.28 trillion. Financial analysts deem life insurance — which represents 49% of total premiums paid — to be “one of the most profitable industries in the world.”
More than half (52%) of American adults have life insurance, including group coverage of the type underwritten by OneAmerica. The face value of life insurance policy purchases in the U.S. is $3.29 trillion.
One of the key determinants of life insurance profitability is the accurate assessment of mortality risk by actuaries, and notably, proper accounting of premature death risks.
Reports for 2020 indicate life insurers took an unexpected hit from claims associated with “COVID-19” — with an $18 billion drop in “net gains from operations” in 2020 as compared to 2019.
While no one, as of yet, is commenting on 2021 or discussing whether the life insurance industry may have underestimated the lethality of COVID vaccines, OneAmerica’s Davison did go so far as to admit that payouts related to the unprecedented 40% increase in working-age deaths will be in excess of $100 million.
On the consumer side of the fence, the picture is far less rosy — for both the unvaccinated and vaccinated.
Meanwhile, many of those injured by COVID vaccines report denials of health and disability insurance coverage.
In December 2020, on the cusp of the vaccine rollout, a spokesman for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) pledged to beef up claims-handling capacity for the government’s Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) in anticipation of a “potential influx of COVID-19 claims.”
The “black hole” program, ostensibly available to dispense compensation for COVID vaccine injuries, is notoriously stingy and has a one-year statute of limitations. Thus far, CICP has only compensated one of the thousands of COVID-vaccine-related claims submitted.
40% — India, too, not just Indiana
For the time being, at least, other U.S. insurers do not appear to be sharing data or observations about increased non-COVID hospitalization and death claims.
But the press in India is openly discussing the same unprecedented trends as Indiana.
The Times of India reported in late October that health insurers are seeing a “huge surge in non-COVID claims.” Again, citing the magic number of 40%, the head of interventional cardiology at a Mumbai hospital noted a 40% increase in heart problems — acute coronary syndrome, sudden heart attacks and cardiac arrest — over the previous six to eight months
The cardiologist also observed that “even patients who have been stable for years are coming in with acute heart emergencies.”
That same month, the New Indian Express reported on widespread concern about the growing prevalence of heart attacks in those under age 45. Although these young adults — including a number of celebrities — typically have “no conventional risk factors,” Indian heart doctors are blaming the mysterious rise in heart attacks on “lifestyle choices.”
Around the same time in late December that OneAmerica’s Davison shared his remarks, Fortune India reported on data from the nation’s Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority showing a 41% increase (there’s that number again) in death claims in fiscal year 2021. In comparison, death claims rose by 11% in fiscal year 2020.
Describing the increase in non-COVID-19 deaths, a life insurance executive suggested the industry might end up posting “a 200-300% increase in claims” for 2021. For now, however, 18 of the 24 life insurance companies operating in India in 2020-21 are reporting profits.
India launched the “world’s biggest” COVID vaccination drive in January 2021, primarily administering AstraZeneca’s vaccine (manufactured by India’s Serum Institute under the brand name Covishield) and Covaxin, an India-developed vaccine perceived as having garnered a “hasty” approval and which resulted in one acknowledged death during clinical trials.
And, to get 2022 off to an ambitious start, India just administered Covaxin to more than 3.8 million teenagers (ages 15-18) in the span of a single day. With 120 million youngsters between ages 15 and 19,
Meanwhile, with no long-term safety data and VAERS reports of COVID vaccine injuries passing the one million mark, including tens of thousands of adverse events reported for 5- to 17-year-olds, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just okayed Pfizer booster shots for American teens ages 12 and up.
Ethical doctors have been issuing urgent warnings about the dangers of COVID vaccines for children and adolescents for months — but the FDA’s and CDC’s paid stooges continue to ignore them.
Now, lest the censorious herds descend upon my head, I should mention that I have taken both doses of the vaccine. I also encourage readers to take the vaccine, particularly if you are elderly.
Unfortunately, in our modern world the elites on both sides of politics, especially on the left, no longer believe in free speech. Instead, they believe in controlling the narrative and naming anything they disagree with as “misinformation” or “disinformation.”
Joe Rogan usually tells the truth
Of course, Rogan’s actual “crime” is that he thinks for himself, something that is frowned upon by the elites nowadays as it makes it harder for them to control the narrative. He is one of few who speak the truth about Vaccines, the fake TV news has hidden a great deal of truth from the people
In 2019, official death estimates, 2,854,838 Americans died, CDC US death statistics show over 3.34 million total deaths in 2020 — at least 20% more deaths than in 2019. The CDC this week also revised its estimate of life expectancy for 2020. Life expectancy at birth that year was 77 years, a decrease of 1.8 years from 2019. The report presents a final tally for last year of about 3.384 million U.S. deaths, about 25,000 more than a provisional count released earlier this year.
February 16, appears to be important date for possible Ukraine invasion.

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 air fields 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 for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.

Arizona Cylinder
Phoenixin 2015 revisited I took this photo in Phoenix in 2015. I just came across it again. It was a UFO kind of night. What could this be with strange, shaped cylinder with various bumps except for smooth nose on left side.? To the honor and glory of God. Thanks to Dan Johnson
California Object
Hollywoodon January 19, 2022, a swarm of a dozen or more white objects was sighted hovering slowly moving northward and out of sight. At first glance, they were thought to be balloons but then noticed objects drifting NW then returning to their previous positions in the sky. the lack of sound and high altitude combined with the number of objects ruled out drones. Upon examination of photos taken, there was black orbs flying within the formation that was not visible to the eye. Positive lift with no visible means of sustaining flight or propulsion. Photograph similar to description…
Colorado Disc
Colorado SpringsCarmella May Dunkin stood on her deck facing west towards the Rocky Mountains and took two photographs of the clouds on a partially cloudy morning. Once she viewed what she photographed, she realized that she captured an image of six objects over the Florissant, Colorado, area. Florissant is a small town in the mountains approximately 32 miles northwest of Colorado Springs that is the location of Petersen Air Force Base and the US Air Force Academy, North American Aerospace Command (NORAD) and the 21st Space Wing. Case 113724
Connecticut Object

Florida Lights
Naplesin 2022, Tessa was taking photographs and a video of her friend on top of a parking garage at sunset. While watching the video of a young man on the roof, an object in the distance is ascending until it is out of sight.
The “disc” made no sound or emissions was between 30 feet to 100 feet in diameter. If it’s a mechanical device, the object has light-green exterior light on its left side and a pinkish exterior light on the right side. The surfaces are black on top and grey below. It may have been a a seagull. Case 113396
Massachusetts Light
Greenfield – on – January 25, 2022, at around 6:30 PM to I stepped out of my back door at 6:40 PM look up to see the airplanes flying over. I see the ISS because I have that App and I look Northeast, and I thought it was the ISS. I saw a bright light bigger than what I thought was the ISS come on and it was like it jumped over the thing and was moving north! Then it turned left and shot out into space with a streak of light until it disappeared. I was shaking and surprised so much; I knew I should report this. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Nebraska Lights
Lincoln on February 1, 2022, two lights were observed moving quickly. The larger light flew towards the smaller light and appeared the same while in the distance.
New Jersey Lights
Kenilworth– on December 1, 2021, thought it was a helicopter or plane then it morphed and flew up. You can see it on video taken from my phone.
Springfield Twp.On August 10, 2021, at 21:15:00Triangle shape when you zoom in on still pic. Object continues in one area in the sky with abrupt movements up and then back down again in the same spot as a flash.

Oregon Disk
Eagle Point on February 2, 2022, I was looking for an address of a TV show location and noticed a saucer shaped item over some hills in the background.
South Carolina Orbs
Hollywoodon November 24, 202, woman reported seeing two extremely bright flying objects and took photos. The witness was on the Savannah Highway around power lines at 12:30 a.m. I was driving home from work last night and saw a very bright light in the distance. Case 119406.
Tennessee Light
Memphis on January 31, 2022, I was flying southwest at 20 miles Northwest of Memphis, at (18:55 Local’. We were flying from New York to Dallas. I saw a glowing blue object within a donut formation. The object was estimated at 41,000 feet. The object was at an 11 o’clock position and I estimate was at a distance of 15 to 20 miles. The object was moving about, and I don’t attribute this to autokinesis. The center object vanished, and the donut formation dissipated a minute later. I was flying at 38,000 feet at a ground speed of 445 knots. Skies were clear and visibility was unlimited at flight level. There was a scattered cloud layer below us at about 10,000. I saw the object for about 5 minutes. The first officer also saw it.
Note: The pilot later identified his own sighting. He found some photos of the second stage rocket booster of the Falcon 9 rocket and said that this looked just like what he saw. A Falcon 9 rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral by Space X at 6:11 PM EST on Jan 31, 2022. An Italian Radar Satellite was placed in polar orbit. The 2nd stage of the rocket was what the pilot observed.
Texas Objects
Katyon December 26, 2021, I decided to film the sky in slow motion for about 20-30 seconds. My film revealed objects which based on the distance covered in slow motion which reduces 5 times actual. They travel at 1,300 to 3,600 mph and cannot be seen by the naked eye. It has been three months and I still see activity. There are small ones I call trash cans flying. The orb photo came out of the cloud in a circle with a green and later a yellow color. The object then changed shape.
This is happening in my backyard. Every so often I film to see if they are still active.
Note: The witness also sent still images of objects on Jan 12 and Jan 19 of 2022. These images (screen shots) are not shown. One of the images appears to be of a conventional aircraft. The Dec 27, 2021, image shows a cigar and a spherical shaped object while the Dec 26, 2021, image shows two spherical shaped objects. The objects in both images are out-of-focus and could have conventional explanations but will classify as unidentified. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Virginia Light
The camera was on a tripod, and I took 19 photos before this showed up in 6 pictures after the first and similar pics were in everyone until I stopped taking pictures.
I know that the pics look highly pixilated, but this is actually what the camera saw. There were other lights in the sky if you make the picture larger. This shows that the ships are positioning themselves. r disclosure. To the honor and glory of God, Dan

Belize Lights
Belize City on January 1, 2022, two orange orbs and stationary light videotaped. We were recently in Belize for vacation and saw some strange lights that we would like to get a second look at.
Note: Two videos were taken. One of the videos shows two orange orbs and the other a bright stationary light. The orange orbs could be Chinese Orbs and the other light could be a bright planet (Jupiter). Jupiter and Venus were both visible, but Jupiter was higher in the sky.
Canada Object
Oshawa, Ontario, on November 8, 2021, I thought to share a friend’s remarkable photo taken at 5:54 PM near dusk. He was on his balcony facing west. He noticed a missile or an unknown spacecraft the front top reveals a small dome like structure cockpit. He believes it to be supersonic. It was found in only one photo.
Note: This is a strange looking rocket. As was pointed out one wonders about the “dome” on the rocket. Could it be a model rocket? I doubt if the Canadian Military would be launching any rockets in this area. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Indonesia Light
Jakarta, – January 23, 2022, bright light observed.
Runorn, Englandon January 6, 2022, there were hardly any clouds in the sky when I saw a dark object fly passed with a grayish color and was triangle in shape with three shapes underneath and wondered if it maybe landing gear It moved faster than planes, looked big and silent near Liverpool Airport so she is familiar with the type of aircraft that fly over. a little rounded at each end saw it pass over heading towards the airport. Liverpool Airport claimed Irish Ryanair Boeing 737 landed about that time.

I often use live cams to hunt UFOs...which I was doing last night, when I found this amazing and wonderful sighting off the island of Oahu. The two tiny islands in the video are small sleeping volcanos. But there are probably people living on those islands. However this object which first looks like a meteor and then like a plane...kept coming back three times. On the third time...it flew lower and its reflection could be seen on the surface of the ocean. It hovered in place on the far right of the island...still over the water not the the island...where it sat and flashed for about 20 seconds before it flew away. This UFO looks similar to the glowing white orb seen over Dome of Rock holy of hollies in Jerusalem many years ago. This was recorded at 2:56AM...which makes it more mysterious because who would be flying an aircraft without landing it at that hour? Aliens would be. Startling proof that aliens are active at volcanos in Hawaii.

Missing 411 - Disappearances in Idaho, Latest Research
Author and investigator David Paulides has focused his attention for the last 11 years on evidence of people vanishing in the wilderness under mysterious circumstances.
In the first half, he discussed his newest research: disappearances in Idaho and how cases of missing people cluster in various areas.
He outlined a set of "profile points" or commonalities in the incidents he's studied, which include the lost discovered in areas that were previously searched numerous times, and when found alive, they have a lack of memory about what happened.
APOCALYPTIC Sky Sounds Are STILL Being Heard WORLDWIDE (2022)
APOCALYPTIC Sky Sounds Are STILL Being Heard WORLDWIDE (2022)
What’s that sound? Many scientists have come up with curious answers to explain some of the mysterious noises found in nature, while others are discovering strange new sounds from the extremes of the Earth and outer space. So far there is no explanation what is causing these scary sounds.
Commenters:
I’m wondering if this is the reason why people are beginning to lose their minds. We’re surrounded by a magnetic field that is constantly putting out a constant vibrational sound. It’s just so low that we can’t hear it but I really think this could be what is causing the edgy feeling that everyone is seeming to have.
Has anyone ever considered these sounds could be practice runs for something related to Project Blue Beam?
There’s been a lot of talk in the last year about how an “alien” invasion could be the next big threat to earth and inexplicable sounds from the sky that happen to sound very similar to sound effects from the film war of the worlds would go very well with that agenda if you ask me.
Meer plastic dan zoogdieren: planeet kan chemische vervuiling niet meer dragen
De vervuiling door chemische stoffen brengt de stabiliteit van ecosystemen wereldwijd in gevaar. Vooral plasticvervuiling baart zorgen. “De totale massa aan plastic is nu groter dan die van levende zoogdieren”, waarschuwen wetenschappers in de Britse krant ‘The Guardian’.
Volgens een studie gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijk tijdschrift ‘Environmental Science & Technology’ kan onze planeet geen extra chemische vervuiling aan.
Met een cocktail van 350.000 synthetische stoffen uitgevonden door de mens, waarvan aanzienlijke hoeveelheden in de atmosfeer terechtkomen of rechtstreeks of onrechtstreeks in het milieu, “zijn de gevolgen die we beginnen te zien groot genoeg om de kritieke functies van de planeet Aarde en haar ecosystemen aan te tasten”, zegt Bethanie Carney Almroth, mede-auteur van de studie van het onderzoekscentrum Stockholm Resilience Centre, in een interview met het Franse nieuwsagentschap AFP.
Daarvoor stelden de wetenschappers een planetaire grens vast. Dat is het punt waarop we als mens de planeet zodanig hebben vervuild dat het de stabiliteit van de afgelopen 10.000 jaar in gevaar brengt. Zo doden pesticiden veel insecten die fundamenteel zijn voor ecosystemen en daardoor zorgen voor propere lucht, water en voedsel.
De wetenschappers die het onderzoek deden, zeggen dat strengere regels nodig zijn. Zo moet er in de toekomst een limiet komen op de productie van chemische stoffen en op hoeveel ervan in de natuur mogen vrijkomen.
By a stroke of luck, a team led by Dutch Ph.D. student Martijn Oei has discovered a radio galaxy of at least 16 million light-years long. The pair of plasma plumes is the largest structure made by a galaxy known thus far. The finding disproves some long-kept hypotheses about the growth of radio galaxies.
A supermassive black hole lurks in the center of many galaxies, which slows down the birth of new stars and therefore strongly influences the lifecycle of the galaxy as a whole. Sometimes, this leads to tumultuous scenes: the black hole can create two jet streams, that catapult the building material for baby stars out of the galaxy at almost the speed of light. In this violent process, the stardust heats up so much that it dissolves into plasma and glows in radio light. The international team of researchers from Leiden (The Netherlands), Hertfortshire, Oxford (both UK), and Paris (France) have now collected that light—with the pan-European LOFAR telescope, whose epicenter lies in a marshy Dutch 'radio dark' nature reserve, where your smartphone deliberately loses signal.
Record length
The picture of the two plasma plumes is special, because never before scientists saw a structure this big made by a single galaxy. The discovery shows that the sphere of influence of some galaxies reaches far from their direct environment. How far, exactly? That is hard to determine. Astronomical pictures are taken from a single viewpoint (Earth), and therefore do not contain depth.As a result, scientists can only measure a part of the radio galaxy length: a low estimate of the total length. But even that lower bound, of more than 16 million light-years, is gargantuan, and comparable to one hundred Milky Ways in a row.
Visible with the naked radio eye
Because Earth does not occupy a special place in the universe, it was never very likely that such a largest galactic structure would reside in our own backyard. And indeed: the radio giant is three billion light-years away from us. Despite that mind-boggling distance, the giant looms as large in the sky as the moon—an indication that the structure had to have a record length. The fact that the radio eyes of the LOFAR telescope only saw the giant just now, is because the plumes are relatively faint. By reprocessing a set of existing images in such a way that subtle patterns stood out, the scientists were suddenly able to spot the giant.
The giant Alcyoneus
The researchers named the giant structure Alcyoneus, after the son of Ouranos, the Greek primordial god of the sky. This mythological Alcyoneus was a giant that fought against Heracles and other Olympians for supremacy over the cosmos. In the world-famous Pergamon Altar in Berlin, a sculpture of this Alcyoneus is carved out.
Ghostly dance
Alcyoneus' plumes possibly reveal information about the mostly elusive filaments of the Cosmic Web. The Cosmic Web is another name for the contemporary, grown-up universe, that looks like a network of threads and nodes that astronomers call filaments and clusters, respectively. The galaxies in filaments and clusters are clearly visible themselves, but detecting the medium between galaxies has only been successful in clusters—barring a handful of exceptions. Could Alcyoneus change this?
Because Alcyoneus, just like the Milky Way, inhabits a filament, its plumes feel a headwind while moving through the medium. This subtly changes the direction and shape of the plumes: They perform a slow dance with an invisible partner. For many years, scientists have proposed that the shapes of and pressures in the plumes of radio galaxies could relate to filament properties, but never before did they find an example where that connection is as plausible as with Alcyoneus. Namely, Alcyoneus' plumes are so big and rarefied that the surrounding medium can relatively easily mold them.
Black holes are cosmic mainstays
The Cosmic Web retains its form because the attractive force of gravity is compensated by the heat pressure of the medium in filaments and clusters. In the past two decennia it has become clear that the glowing stardust that jet streams eject from galaxies, keeps the Web warm. In this way, the central black holes in galaxies contribute to sustain the large-scale structure of our universe. That is extra noteworthy because black holes are very small compared to filaments and clusters. It is as if something the size of a marble regulates the Earth's temperature.
Mysterious origin
What has given Alcyoneus its record length, remains a mystery for now. The scientists first thought of an exceptionally massive black hole, an extensive stellar population (and so a lot of stardust), or extraordinarily powerful jet streams. Surprisingly enough, Alcyoneus appears to be less than average on all these aspects compared to its smaller sisters and brothers. In the times ahead, the team will therefore now investigate whether the environments of radio galaxies could explain the growth of giants instead.
Astronomen ontdekken per toeval grootste radiosterrenstelsel ooit: “Vergelijkbaar met honderd Melkwegen op een rij”
Per toeval heeft een team van astronomen het grootste radiosterrenstelsel ooit ontdekt. Het stelsel is minstens 16 miljoen lichtjaar lang, vergelijkbaar met honderd Melkwegen op een rij. Dat meldt de Universiteit van Leiden. De structuur voldoet niet aan eerdere ideeën over de vorming van een radiostelsel, aldus onderzoeksleider Martijn Oei.
Voor een ander onderzoek moesten bestaande astronomische foto’s opnieuw gemaakt worden, maar dan op lage resolutie. Daarop zag Oei twee grote pluimen, het tot dan toe nog onontdekte radiosterrenstelsel. “Ik wist toen nog nauwelijks wat radiosterrenstelsels waren. Met een online calculator probeerde ik even uit te rekenen hoe groot dat stelsel dan moest zijn, en dat was groter dan waar ik ooit van had gehoord.” Radiostelsels zijn uitvloeisels van sterrenstelsels, legt Oei uit. In een sterrenstelsel vindt een soort eruptie plaats die materiaal van het sterrenstelsel naar buiten schiet.
Bestaande theorieën overboord
Samen met het team probeerde hij te achterhalen hoe het mogelijk was dat dit radiostelsel zo ver reikt. De bestaande oorzaken moesten de onderzoekers echter één voor één overboord gooien. “Misschien was er een groot zwart gat, bevatte het stelsel heel veel sterren of waren de straalstromen heel krachtig”, zegt Oei. “Maar dat was allemaal niet het geval, het stelsel is in die opzichten heel gemiddeld.” In de studie noemen de onderzoekers het stelsel ook wel “verdacht gewoon”.
De komende tijd gaan de wetenschappers daarom meer onderzoek doen naar de oorzaak voor de grootte van het radiosterrenstelsel. De indrukwekkende vondst kreeg de naam Alcyoneus, naar de machtigste van de Giganten (een soort reuzen in de Griekse mythologie). “Er is nog één theorie die we moeten testen”, vertelt Oei. “Het zou kunnen dat het stelsel zich in een ijle omgeving bevindt, waardoor het radiostelsel verder reikt.”
The radio lobes of Alcyoneus.
( Oei et al., arXiv, 2022)
Even groot als maan
Door het onderzoek is in elk geval duidelijk dat sommige sterrenstelsels tot ver buiten hun directe omgeving nog invloed hebben op hun radiostelsel. Het is ook mogelijk dat Alcyoneus nog groter is dan 16 miljoen lichtjaar. De Aarde bevindt zich op zo’n 3 miljard lichtjaar van het radiosterrenstelsel. Van bij ons gezien zou het stelsel ongeveer even groot aan de hemel moeten zijn als de maan.
De wetenschappers van de universiteiten in Leiden, Hertfordshire, Oxford en Parijs publiceren het onderzoek binnenkort in het vakblad ‘Astronomy & Astrophysics’.
A supermassive black hole has been discovered hiding inside a cloud of cosmic dust at the center of a galaxy 47 million light years from the Earth.
Detailed images of the dust cloud were taken using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (ESO's VLTI), in Chile.
They turned the observatory to the galaxy Messier 77, which is about 47 million light years away, finding a thick ring of cosmic dust, hiding a supermassive black hole.
Where exactly within this cloud of dust the black hole sits has been a mystery for decades, but the team used the detailed images from VLTI to measure the temperature at different points within the cloud, creating a map.
Known as an active galactic nuclei (AGN), the cloud surrounding the black hole are feeding it, letting off intense light that can outshine stars in the galaxy.
These are some of the brightest and most mysterious objects in the universe, sitting at the heart of galaxies - and the findings could help pin down the history of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*.
This image, captured with the MATISSE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer, shows the very inner region of the active galaxy Messier 77.
Before the gas and dust in an AGN is eaten up by the black hole, the material spirals towards it, releasing huge amounts of energy in the process, often outshining all the stars in the galaxy - as viewed by telescopes on the Earth.
Finding the black hole, which emits no light of its own, is a tricky process that involves solving a detailed puzzle.
The team used detailed images, and analysis of changes in dust temperature to build a picture of the dust and pinpoint where the black hole must lie.
The astronomers suggest the dust with the black hole at its core supports a decades-old model, known as the Unified Model of AGNs.
Violeta Gamez Rosas, lead researcher, said: 'The real nature of the dust clouds and their role in both feeding the black hole and determining how it looks when viewed from Earth have been central questions in AGN studies over the last three decades.
Spiral galaxy Messier 77 and its surroundings are visible here. Messier 77 appears at the centre and the edge-on galaxy NGC 1055 to its upper-right
ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) has captured a magnificent face-on view of the barred spiral galaxy Messier 77. Hidden at the center is a supermassive black hole
BLACK HOLES HAVE A GRAVITATIONAL PULL SO STRONG NOT EVEN LIGHT CAN ESCAPE
Black holes are so dense and their gravitational pull is so strong that no form of radiation can escape them - not even light.
They act as intense sources of gravity which hoover up dust and gas around them. Their intense gravitational pull is thought to be what stars in galaxies orbit around.
How they are formed is still poorly understood. Astronomers believe they may form when a large cloud of gas up to 100,000 times bigger than the sun, collapses into a black hole.
Many of these black hole seeds then merge to form much larger supermassive black holes, which are found at the centre of every known massive galaxy.
Alternatively, a supermassive black hole seed could come from a giant star, about 100 times the sun's mass, that ultimately forms into a black hole after it runs out of fuel and collapses.
When these giant stars die, they also go 'supernova', a huge explosion that expels the matter from the outer layers of the star into deep space.
Whilst no single result will settle all the questions we have, we have taken a major step in understanding how AGNs work.'
These bright phenomena were first spotted in the 1950s, and astronomers have been curious about them ever since.
Using the Very Large Telescope Interferometer, the researchers have taken a step towards understanding how they work and what they look like up close.
Astronomers know there are different types of AGN, with some appearing brighter than others, and the model states that despite their differences, they all have the same basic structure – a supermassive black hole surrounded by a thick ring of dust.
According to the 30-year old Unified Model of AGNs, which these observations confirm, any difference in appearance between AGNs results from the angle at which the black hole and its thick ring are seen from Earth.
The type of AGN seen depends on how much of the space dust ring blocks the black hole from view, sometimes completely hiding it.
Astronomers had found some evidence to support the Unified Model before, including spotting warm dust at the centre of Messier 77.
However, doubts remained about whether this dust could completely hide a black hole and hence explain why this AGN shines less brightly in visible light than others.
Ms Gamez Rosas said: 'Our results should lead to a better understanding of the inner workings of AGNs. They could also help us better understand the history of the Milky Way, which harbours a supermassive black hole at its centre that may have been active in the past.'
This chart shows the location of the active galaxy Messier 77 in the constellation of Cetus (The Sea Monster). It shows most stars visible to the unaided eye on a dark and clear night
This illustration shows what the core of Messier 77 might look like. As other active galactic nuclei, the central region of Messier 77 is powered by a black hole that is surrounded by a thin accretion disc, which itself is surrounded by a thick ring or torus of gas and dust
The team also used data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, co-owned by ESO, and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s Very Long Baseline Array to construct their picture.
The researchers are now looking to use ESO's VLTI to find more supporting evidence of the Unified Model of AGNs by considering a larger sample of galaxies.
Team member Bruno Lopez, the MATISSE Principal Investigator at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur in Nice, France, said: 'Messier 77 is an important prototype AGN and a wonderful motivation to expand our observing programme and to optimise MATISSE to tackle a wider sample of AGNs.'
ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), set to begin observing later this decade, will also aid the search, providing results that will complement the team's findings and allow them to explore the interaction between AGNs and galaxies.
THE VERY LARGE TELESCOPE IS A POWERFUL GROUND-BASED INSTRUMENT IN CHILE
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) built the most powerful telescope ever made in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile.
It is called the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and is widely regarded as one of the most advanced optical instruments ever made.
It consists of four telescopes, whose main mirrors measures 27 feet (8.2 metres) in diameter.
There are also four movable six feet (1.8 metre) diameter auxiliary telescopes.
The large telescopes are called Antu, Kueyen, Melipal and Yepun.
The European Southern observatory (ESO) built the most powerful telescope ever made in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile and called it the Very Large Telescope (VLT).
The first of the Unit Telescopes, 'Antu', went into routine scientific operations on April 1, 1999.
The telescopes can work together to form a giant 'interferometer'.
This interferometer allows images to be filtered for any unnecessary obscuring objects and, as a result, astronomers can see details up to 25 times finer than with the individual telescopes.
It has been involved in spotting the first image of an extrasolar planet as well as tracking individual stars moving around the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way.
It also observed the afterglow of the furthest known Gamma Ray Burst.
Superzwaar zwart gat verscholen in een ring van kosmisch stof
In het centrum van het sterrenstelsel Messier 77 is een wolk van kosmisch stof waargenomen die een superzwaar zwart gat aan het zicht onttrekt, zo heeft de Europese Zuidelijke Sterrenwacht (ESO) woensdag bekendgemaakt. De ontdekking bevestigt voorspellingen van zo'n dertig jaar geleden en geeft astronomen nieuw inzicht in de 'actieve galactische kernen', die tot de helderste en meest raadselachtige objecten in het heelal behoren.
Actieve galactische kernen (Engelse afkorting: AGNs) zijn extreem energetische bronnen, aangedreven door superzware zwarte gaten, die zich in het centrum van sommige sterrenstelsels bevinden. Deze zwarte gaten voeden zich met grote hoeveelheden kosmisch stof en gas. Voordat dit materiaal wordt opgeslokt, spiraalt het naar het zwarte gat, en daarbij komen enorme hoeveelheden energie vrij. Daardoor straalt een actieve kern vaak feller dan alle sterren in het omringende sterrenstelsel bij elkaar. Al vanaf het moment dat wetenschappers deze heldere objecten in de jaren vijftig voor het eerst opmerkten, zijn astronomen nieuwsgierig naar AGNs.
Een team onder leiding van Violeta Gámez Rosas van de Universiteit Leiden loerde nu met de VLT-telescoop in Chili naar het centrum van het sterrenstelsel Messier 77, ook bekend als NGC 1068. De vorsers ontdekten een dikke ring van kosmisch stof en gas die een superzwaar zwart gat verbergt. De ontdekking levert cruciaal bewijs voor een dertig jaar oude theorie die het Unified Model of AGNs wordt genoemd.
Er zijn verschillende soorten AGN's. Sommige AGN's produceren bijvoorbeeld uitbarstingen van radiostraling en andere niet; en sommige AGN's zijn heldere bronnen van zichtbaar licht, terwijl andere - zoals Messier 77 - meer getemperd zijn. Het Uniform Model stelt dat alle AGN's - ondanks hun grote onderlinge verschillen - dezelfde basisstructuur hebben: ze bestaan uit een superzwaar zwart gat, omgeven door een dikke ring van stof.
Volgens het model zijn de verschillende verschijningsvormen van AGN's eenvoudigweg het gevolg van de hoek waaronder we het zwarte gat en de dikke ring vanaf de Aarde waarnemen. Het soort AGN hangt af van de mate waarin de ring het zwarte gat aan het zicht onttrekt en in sommige gevallen zelfs helemaal verbergt.
Now look at this! Its a UFO sphere on live cam, but its over the Washington DC area...not far from the US Presidential White House. That really tells me a lot right there! Aliens clearly were trying to observe and record the US presidents emotions and thought using telepathic abilities. President Biden is under a lot of stress right now from Russia wanting to go to war with Ukraine...and China doing the same with Taiwan. Stress levels in the White House right now are off the charts. Nuclear war is a possibility. And Aliens want to know, not so much for saving humanity as much as keeping their planet safe. Yes, this planet belonged to aliens long before humanity even existed. And we claim it to be ours. It's like a kid saying the house is belongs to him...but it's really his fathers. This video is 100% proof that aliens are watching US President Biden ever move, feeling and thought.

Aliens and UFOs are more real than ever before. Thousands of sightings by highly credible witnesses worldwide cannot be denied. The big question is not whether the Aliens are here among us, monitoring us perhaps preparing us for some kind of end game that will change humanity forever, but why is the government and military still denying the fact that we are not alone? While many of the sightings every year are debunked, it’s the ones that defy description, obliterate our notions of psychics and science and exhibit other worldly capabilities beyond our grasp. The mind blowing bizarre and most mysterious Alien Encounters of all.
40 years ago, a remote forest in Suffolk was the scene of one of the most famous purported UFO sightings in history. The Rendlesham UFO sighting. So what happened, and will we ever know for sure? Larry Warren and Georgina Bruni claim to have witnessed alien life forms. They saw a giant object that had landed on the earth’s surface. They say the massive shape was more than 50ft wide, had a strong definition, was multiple colors, and the most important thing about this incident was that were more than 30 witnesses in this sighting. The United States Air Force (USAF) security personnel stationed at nearby RAF Woodbridge had even reported seeing strange lights in the surrounding forest.

Planet Found in the Habitable Zone of a White Dwarf
Planet Found in the Habitable Zone of a White Dwarf
Most stars will end their lives as white dwarfs. White dwarfs are the remnant cores of once-luminous stars like our Sun, but they’ve left their lives of fusion behind and no longer generate heat. They’re destined to glow with only their residual energy for billions of years before they eventually fade to black.
Could life eke out an existence on a planet huddled up to one of these fading spectres?
For life to exist around a white dwarf, the white dwarf would have to have planets in its slowly shrinking habitable zone. Astronomers have found what appear to be planets in the habitable zone of a white dwarf about 117 light-years away. The planet might be nestled in a protoplanetary disk of debris.
A new study led by researchers from the University College of London announces the findings. The title is “Relentless and complex transits from a planetesimal debris disc.” It’s published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and the lead author is Professor Jay Farihi from the UCL Department of Physics & Astronomy.
“This is the first time astronomers have detected any kind of planetary body in the habitable zone of a white dwarf.”
Professor Jay Farihi, UCL Dep’t. of Physics and Astronomy.
The star’s name is WD1054–226. The researchers behind this work observed WD1054-226 for 18 nights with the ESO’s New Technology Telescope (NTT) at their La Silla Observatory, observing dips in starlight as something passed between us and the star. They used the NTT’s ULTRACAM high-speed camera to capture data images of the white dwarf. They also examined data on the same star from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS.)

What were the results of those observations?
The team found dips in light that they interpret as 65 clouds of planetary debris. The clouds are evenly spaced and orbit the white dwarf every 25 hours. What causes such regularity? The researchers say that a planet must be there, which forces these debris clouds into a precise orbital pattern. They say the planet is similar in size to rocky planets in our Solar System and that it’s only about 2.5 million km (1.55 million miles) from the star. That’s about 1.7% of the distance between Earth and the Sun.
Alongside the regular dips in starlight is an ever-present obscuration that the team says is debris in a planetary disk around the star. These structures are in a region that would have been overcome when the white dwarf went through its preceding red giant phase. It’s doubtful that any of these structures could have survived the red giant phase, so they must have formed more recently in the aftermath. If there is a planet in the habitable zone, it can’t be a hold-over from the star’s previous life as a main-sequence star. If all of the circumstances lined up just right—and that’s an enormous if—life would potentially have about two billion years to do its thing on the purported planet, with one of those billions in the future.
“This is the first time astronomers have detected any kind of planetary body in the habitable zone of a white dwarf,” said Professor Farihi. The planet’s presence is inferred from the regular dips in the light of all the other objects in the system.
This figure from the study shows the first three nights of ULTRACAM observations of WD1054-226. The figure shows a notable and easily recognized recurring feature, the double-dip structure that recurs every 25.2 hours and occurs just before hours 2, 27, and 52. The authors say that “Using this structure as a visual anchor, the adjacent, antecedent, and subsequent transits can all be seen to have the same morphology over all three nights.”Image Credit: Farihi et al. 2022.
“An exciting possibility is that these bodies are kept in such an evenly-spaced orbital pattern because of the gravitational influence of a nearby major planet,” Professor Farihi said in a press release. “Without this influence, friction and collisions would cause the structures to disperse, losing the precise regularity that is observed. A precedent for this ‘shepherding’ is the way the gravitational pull of moons around Neptune and Saturn helps to create stable ring structures orbiting these planets.”

Not all of the team’s observational data repeats with predictable regularity. The researchers also found at least two transient drifters in the data. “At least two drifting transits may be seen to recur over three or more nights,” the team writes in their paper. The faster of the two has a period of about 22.9 hours, and the slower of the two has a period of about 25.5 hours.
This figure represents ULTRACAM data showing two transients. The more rapid of the two is on the left in blue, and the slower one is on the right in green. Image Credit: Farihi et al. 2022.
There are indications of other drifters, but their data gets progressively weaker. The team explains this in their paper: “There are a number of dips that are either transient or cannot be confidently shown to recur, which are thus challenging to quantify. It is important to note that the process … can only effectively remove recurring signals where multiple-night coverage is available at a given phase. Thus, some phases will suffer artifacts in this process, especially where coverage – either in the light curve or subtracted data – includes only a single night. Thus, not all light-curve residual structures are real.” Such are the ways of astronomy.
The 65 separate structures the astronomers found could be moons or nascent moons. But if they are, they’re nothing like the moons we’re accustomed to. “The moon-sized structures we have observed are irregular and dusty (e.g. comet-like) rather than solid, spherical bodies. Their absolute regularity is a mystery we cannot currently explain,” said lead author Farihi.
In their paper, the authors explain the 65 structures, saying that “There is no evidence for solid-body transits in any of the data, and the underlying transit sources are presumably relatively small but with extended comae of dust and gas.” That’s where their “comet-like” description comes from. “It cannot yet be determined what fraction of the stellar disc is constantly occluded, which could be significant,” they write. “However, the duration of the transit events provides clear indications that the occulting clouds are non-spherical.”
The data is intriguing, but the authors are the first to point out that any firm conclusions are premature. “The possibility of a major planet in the habitable zone is exciting and also unexpected; we were not looking for this. However, it is important to keep in mind that more evidence is necessary to confirm the presence of a planet. We cannot observe the planet directly, so confirmation may come by comparing computer models with further observations of the star and orbiting debris,” Professor Farihi said.
If there are indeed clouds of material orbiting the white dwarf, they’re likely outside the Roche limit. The authors say that debris clouds probably come from collisions or tidal disruption events. “From a dynamical and evolutionary perspective, the origin of the large occulting clouds is likely the result of tidal disruption or collisions in the vicinity of the Roche limit,” they write in their conclusion.
It’ll be up to further observations with the James Webb Space Telescope to provide better data. The JWST has the power to better define the debris disk and its components. But if there is a roughly Earth-sized rocky planet there, it’s an intriguing possibility with liquid water potential.
Marginally habitable situations may be relatively common in the Milky Way and the Universe. Life might arise countless times and never evolve the complexity that life on Earth has become. The Moons of our Solar System might harbour life for some time. Mars may have harboured life for some time.
Now, maybe, we can add white dwarf planets to that list.
SpaceX ‘destacks’ Starship and Super Heavy: what’s next?
SpaceX ‘destacks’ Starship and Super Heavy: what’s next?
On February 14th, a bit less than four days after the giant rocket was used as a backdrop for CEO Elon Musk’s first Starship presentation in years, SpaceX lifted Starship off of the Super Heavy booster and lowered the upper stage to the ground.
In early August 2021, the same pair – Booster 4 and Ship 20 – were stacked for the first time for what was described as a fit test. After briefly forming the largest rocket ever assembled, the stages were ‘destacked’ about an hour later and would ultimately return to the Starbase factory for finishing touches. Six months, one ship cryoproof, three booster cryoproofs, and three ship static fire tests later, Ship 20 and Booster 4 were once stacked to form a massive 119-meter-tall (390 ft) tall rocket
This time around, Starship S20 was stacked on top of Super Heavy B4 not with a giant crane but with a ‘launch and integration tower’ that had been outfitted with three giant arms in the interim. The tower’s main pair of arms – ‘chopsticks’ – lifted the ~100-ton (~220,000 lb) Starship almost 100 meters off the ground, swung it over Super Heavy, and then carefully lowered the stages until Super Heavy was able to latch on.
On its first true demonstration, the complex process went far smoother than anyone outside of SpaceX expected, taking the tower just four or so hours from the start of the lift to hard mate. On February 10th, shortly before Musk’s Starship update, SpaceX even opened the ‘chopsticks’ to their full breadth, leaving all of Starship S20’s weight on Super Heavy B4 and also demonstrating what the pad will likely look like moments before the first orbital Starship launch.
On February 14th, after about four days fully stacked, the tower arms reattached to Ship 20, detached from Super Heavy, and lowered the Starship back to the ground, where it was eventually installed on a transport stand. Later that night and early the next day, SpaceX then moved the ship to a small concrete pad adjacent to the launch tower that’s believed to be meant for cryogenic proof testing. It’s unclear why SpaceX didn’t tested the fully stacked Starship given that both ship and booster have already completed multiple cryogenic proof tests (or wet dress rehearsals with real propellant) over the last few months.

It’s also unclear what more SpaceX can gain from testing Ship 20 on the ground, short of full-stack operations. On Sunday, February 13th, SpaceX did, however, begin filling the orbital launch site’s fuel tanks with liquid methane (LCH4) for the first time. It’s possible that instead of using Ship 20 to test any aspect of the relatively ancient Starship prototype, SpaceX will use Ship 20 to test the orbital tank farm – particularly the fuel side of the farm, which has yet to be tested. Perhaps after testing those systems on the ground, SpaceX will re-stack Ship 20 and Booster 4 and perform a similar wet dress rehearsal to test the tower’s plumbing, the ship-fueling arm, and the overall structural integrity of the fully-stacked rocket.
SpaceX has test windows tentatively scheduled on February 16th, 17th, and 18th.
