SpaceX's Starship booster is engulfed in an enormous FIREBALL during disastrous test – and it may delay Elon Musk's plans for the $216 million rocket's first orbital flight
SpaceX's Starship booster is engulfed in an enormous FIREBALL during disastrous test – and it may delay Elon Musk's plans for the $216 million rocket's first orbital flight
SpaceX booster rocket burst into flames at the firm's facility in Boca Chica, Texas
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter that the explosive incident was 'not good'
It's likely a setback to Musk's aim of launching his Starship into orbit this summer
SpaceX's Starship booster rocket was engulfed in an enormous fireball during a disastrous ground test on Monday evening.
The booster rocket, developed by Elon Musk's SpaceX for its next-generation Starship spacecraft, burst into flames at the firm's facility in Boca Chica, Texas.
Footage shows a powerful fireball engulfing the bottom of the rocket and sending splinters flying, and dramatically shaking the camera's point of view.
Monday's unfortunate explosion may delay plans for the $216 million rocket's first orbital flight, which was tentatively scheduled for this summer.
SpaceX's futuristic, bullet-shaped stainless steel Starship has been selected by NASA for the recently-delayed Artemis missions to the Moon later this decade.

STARSHIP AND SUPER HEAVY LAUNCHER
SpaceX Starship is made up of two stages, the Super Heavy booster and the Starship vehicle on top.
Super Heavy fires and gives Starship the boost it needs to reach orbit.
Once in space, Starship separates and continues its journey, while Super Heavy returns to land on the ground.
It is designed to be a reusable launch vehicle that could put humans on Mars, according to founder Elon Musk.
SpaceX is planning to carry humans using a two-stage spacecraft composed of Starship (the passenger-carrying section) and the Super Heavy rocket booster.
The firm still has work to do on construction of the $216 million Starship, previously known as 'BFR', although it has been testing out launching Starship prototypes into the air and landing them.
SpaceX was conducting a ground test of the Super Heavy booster when it exploded at around 16:20 CT (22:20 BST) on Monday.
A livestream was being recorded by the website NASA Spaceflight when the explosion took place.
The booster remained standing upright, bolted to a test gantry afterward. There was no immediate indication of injuries, although black smoke spewed from the area of the test pad an hour after the incident.
SpaceX boss Elon Musk said on Twitter: 'Yeah, actually not good. Team is assessing damage.'
Musk also said the issue was to do with the 'spin tests' of the 33 Raptor engines, powered by cryogenic liquid methane and liquid oxygen.
SpaceX flows high-pressure gas through the engines' turbines to power the Super Heavy booster.
The failure came in the midst of a dayslong static fire test campaign in Boca Chica, Texas, of the booster, equipped with an array of 33 Raptor engines for use in an upcoming uncrewed orbital test flight SpaceX hoped to launch later this year
Musk said cryogenic fuel is an 'added challenge'.
'It evaporates to create fuel-air explosion risk in a partially oxygen atmosphere like Earth,' he said on Twitter.
'Going forward, we won't do a spin start test with all 33 engines at once,' Musk also tweeted.
MailOnline contacted SpaceX and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an official comment.
An FAA spokesperson replied: 'The FAA is in close contact with SpaceX as the company looks into the fire that occurred as part of its Super Heavy booster rocket development.
'The law limits the FAA’s safety oversight to protecting the public during scheduled launch and reentry operations. Yesterday’s event does not fall under the agency’s jurisdiction.'

Starship, which will stand 394 feet (120 metres) tall when mated with its super-heavy first-stage booster, is the company's next-generation launch vehicle at the centre of Musk's ambitions to make human space travel more affordable and routine.
An upcoming uncrewed orbital test flight of Starship was anticipated to launch this summer, although a delay now seems likely.
In late 2020 and early 2021, SpaceX lost four prototypes of the Starship itself in a series of high-altitude test launches when the return landing attempts ended in explosions.
The Starship prototype finally made a safe touchdown after a high altitude flight test in May 2021.
Elon Musk (pictured) had hoped Starship's first flight into orbit would come in the first month of 2022
Musk had previously said the first orbital launch of Starship would 'hopefully' happen in January 'or perhaps February' 2022 and could be followed by 12 or more launches throughout the rest of the year.
'There's a lot of risk associated with this first launch,' Musk told the US government's National Academies last November.
'So I would not say that it is likely to be successful, but I think we will make a lot of progress.'
After a dozen or so orbital test flights next year, SpaceX then would start launching valuable satellites and other payloads to orbit on Starships in 2023, he said.
Musk also said his firm has built a 'factory for making a lot of these vehicles'.
'This is not a case of just one or two, we're aiming to make a great many [Starships],' he told National Academies' members. 'Ultimately, in order for life to become multiplanetary, we'll need maybe a thousand ships.'
Musk thinks a natural or manmade disaster will eventually bring about the end of civilization, necessitating the relocation to another planet – Mars 'being the only realistic option', he said.
This could be a pandemic worse than Covid-19, continually decreasing birth rates, nuclear Armageddon or perhaps a direct hit by a killer comet 'that takes out a continent'.
SPACEX'S STARSHIP TO GO TO THE MOON
SpaceX's HLS Starship will include the company's tested Raptor engines, along with pulling inspiration from the Falcon and Dragon vehicles' designs.
It will feature a spacious cabin and two airlocks for astronaut moonwalks.
Work started on designing the lunar vehicle in May 2020 and work will now begin to fully build it thanks to a NASA $2.89 billion contract.
The initial contact covers an uncrewed demonstration mission, and a crewed lunar landing in 2024.
It is also planned future lunar landings will be made using Starship HLS.
It is equipped with a complement of thrusters used on the final descent and takeoff from the surface of the moon.
The final design will have a 100 day loiter capability in lunar orbit allowing for more trips to the lunar surface.
It also is designed to carry extra propellant to allow for an emergency ascent from the moon.
SPACEX STARSHIP BOOSTER PROTOTYPE SUDDENLY GOES UP IN FLAMES
SPACEX STARSHIP BOOSTER PROTOTYPE SUDDENLY GOES UP IN FLAMES
"HOLY MOLY. WELL, THAT WAS UNEXPECTED!"
NASASPACEFLIGHT
Uh Oh
SpaceX's Booster 7 prototype just went up in a ball of flames during a routine test today, which could signal a setback — though, to be fair, there's a lot we still don't know about the incident.
A livestream captured by NASASpaceFlight shows the behemoth structure light up in a massive ball of fire and send small pieces of debris flying, surprising onlookers. It's unclear to what extent the Booster or launch tower were damaged during the explosion
A massive pressure wave also managed to shake NASASpaceflight's camera, indicating the explosion was quite energetic.
"Holy moly," tweetedNASASpaceFlight's Chris Bergin. "Well, that was unexpected!"
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk seemed to say on Twitter that the explosion was planned — although the NASASpaceFlight crew were pretty skeptical, and Musk has been known to shrug off setbacks. One more possible clue: the explosion happened at 4:20 local Texas time — the weed number that Musk loves so much.
Planned Ignition
But others weren't convinced the fireball was meant to happen.
"I'm probably wrong, but surely ignition was not planned with those lifts right by the pad and such," NASASpaceFlight's Michael Baylor tweeted.
"Hydraulic power unit seems to be in trouble," Baylor added in a follow-up. "Smoke rising from it."
"Oooop this might delay Starship's first orbital flight a smidge," Reuters space reporter Joey Roulette tweeted in response.
Going Orbital
The massive rocket is designed to take SpaceX's Starship 20 prototype into orbit during the company's long-awaited orbital test flight sometime this year.
We have yet to hear about a concrete schedule for the launch, but given the substantial fireball, chances are SpaceX may have to delay it.
NASA Officially Unveils First Set of Dazzling James Webb Images
NASA Officially Unveils First Set of Dazzling James Webb Images
The waiting is finally over.
Image by NASA
The wait is officially over. NASA has released the long-awaited first set of images taken by its uber-expensive James Webb Space Telescope — and they're absolutely breathtaking.
During a live broadcast today, the agency showed off the mind-blowing observations, including some of the deepest views of the cosmos we've ever seen, a groundbreaking moment in the field of astronomy that has been decades in the making.
The news comes after NASA announced that it's completed the commissioning phase of the revolutionary space telescope, officially kicking off full scientific operations.
We'll be updating this post as the new images come in.
DEEP FIELD
We already got a glimpse of the Hubble Space Telescope successor's first images during an unveiling of the first-ever image yesterday, the highest-resolution view of the infrared spectrum ever produced. The stunning image shows "just a little speck of the universe," as NASA administrator Bill Nelson explained during the event.
The image is teeming with galaxies. "Everywhere we look, there's galaxies everywhere," Jane Rigby, James Webb scientist, said during the broadcast.
The most distant galaxies show what they looked like more than 13.1 billion years ago, less than a billion years after the Big Bang.
WASP-96B
This giant planet is composed mainly of gas, and is about half the mass of Jupiter. It's located about 1,150 light-years away from Earth, orbiting its star every 3.4 days.
It's the first spectrum of a exoplanet taken by the telescope, which are wavelengths of light we've never had access to before, according to Nicole Colón, Webb deputy project scientist for exoplanets.
"We can tell there's evidence of clouds and hazes, but the water features aren't as large as we predicted," Colón explained.
"We don't expect that planet to be habitable (it's too hot, and it's a gas giant, so no solid surface)," cosmologist Katie Mack tweeted. "But there's hope we might observe atmospheres of more Earth-like planets in the future."
SOUTHERN RING NEBULA
This gorgeous infrared image shows a star dying in stunning detail.
"Well this one's a banger," The Atlantic's Marina Koren tweeted.
This planetary nebula is an expanding cloud of gas, shrouding the dying remains of a star. It's roughly 2,000 light-years away from Earth and nearly half a light-year in diameter.
The nebula shows up due to its molecular nitrogen lighting up the gas surrounding the stellar remains. The blue haze is due to hot ionized gas, heated by the leftover core of the star.
STEPHAN'S QUINTET
This set of five galaxies is an astonishing 290 million light-years away.
There are millions to hundreds of billions of stars inside each galaxy. They are locked in a close, cosmic dance due to their gravitational force.
The galaxies are also in the process of merging, offering us important clues into the evolution of huge structures in the universe.
The image even shows black holes sucking up matter in the center.
CARINA NEBULA
This stellar nursery is some 7,600 light-years away in the constellation Carina. It's one of the brightest and largest in the sky.
It's also home to massive stars, several times the mass of the Sun.
The gorgeous infrared image shows hundreds of new stars we've never seen before, including jets of bubbling gases being expelled as new stars are born. Every dot of light is an individual star, which may have individual planets orbiting them as well.
MORE TO COME
It's certainly not the last time we'll be hearing from the James Webb Space Telescope. These images only represent the very first batch of scientific observations, and we'll likely see countless more stunning views.
"We're going to be doing discoveries like this every week," Rigby promised.
What caused the sky to turn apocalyptic green over South Dakota?
What caused the sky to turn apocalyptic green over South Dakota?
The skies above South Dakota, US turned green on Tuesday (5 July) as a particularly strong storm rolled in.
Eerie images appeared on social media showing the peculiar color of the sky over Sioux Falls, South Dakota just before a thunderstorm swept through the area.
The National Weather Service confirmed that a ‘derecho storm’ barreled through much of South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa, leaving nearly 30,000 people without power for hours.
Storms qualify as derechos when they have sustained winds of at least 93 km/h and leave a path of damage at least 400 km long, according to the National Weather Service. This particular storm reached a wind speed of 159 km/h.
While residents in South Dakota have grown used to derechos having recently experienced two such storms, the green sky was a highly unusual sight.
What caused the sky to turn green?
It’s not fully understood why green skies occur, but most scientists point to the liquid water content in the air as a root cause. The celestial phenomenon occurs when clouds carry a lot of water and allow primarily blue light to pass through the storm cloud. The blue light mixes with the sun's red light, and the sky turns green.
SS live feed: Fast moving UFO slows down, stops, changes direction and moves on
SS live feed: Fast moving UFO slows down, stops, changes direction and moves on
On April 20, 2016 the ISS live cam recorded an unknown object that certainly wasn't a meteor or space junk.
The object comes into view of the ISS camera while flying at high speed, then it slows down its speed until it totally stops. After a while the object moves on and changes it s direction twice before it disappears into space.
Since the object makes several maneuvers, it also cannot be a satellite. this is clearly a secret man-made or extraterrestrial craft which is under intelligent control.
Asking NASA or the ISS crew what this object could have been is a waste of time, as they will never admit the origin of this craft.
Two silver UFO spheres over Horton Kirby, UK 9-Jul-2022
Two silver UFO spheres over Horton Kirby, UK 9-Jul-2022
This really strange UFO sighting was filmed in the daytime sky above Horton Kirby, a village in the Sevenoaks District of Kent, England. This happened on 9th July 2022.
Witness report:
Sitting in my garden I noticed off to my left 2 objects flying parallel to each other, at first I took it to be 2 herons then noticed them to be metallic spheres, thinking they maybe baloons I checked the wind direction which was at a constant moderate breeze in the direction of N to SW these objects however were travelling in a direction of W to E approximately which meant they were cutting across the wind at approx a 45 degrees angle. They elevated to just under the clouds and then disappeared. I was unable to see them on the phone screen (Samsung S21+) so just pointed and shot in the general direction in an attempt to capture some footage so not the best I’m afraid but you can clearly see in the attached video the objects.
Hawaiian Drama Over ‘Yellow Brick Road’ Geology and Atlantis!
Hawaiian Drama Over ‘Yellow Brick Road’ Geology and Atlantis!
Deep sea scientistshave released a video showing a ‘bizarre’ geological formation that they have already named the Yellow Brick Road. However, the section of seabed making the headlines is nowhere nearly as strange as the ‘Devil´s piles’ the researchers skipped over.
An oceanic expedition examining a deep sea ridge to the north of the Hawaiian Islands recently discovered a dried-out lake bed that looks like a human built road. The visual similarity caused the team of scientists involved in the discovery to jokingly mention the “yellow brick road” and “the road to Atlantis.”
According to a ScienceAlert article the team of researchers from the Ocean Exploration Trust are “pushing the frontiers of this wilderness… more than 3,000 meters below the waves,” and the imagery they are sending back certainly is stunning. As for the geological wonder, it is located atop a deep sea ridge within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM), one of the largest marine conservation areas in the world.
Following The Yellow Brick Road
The so-called Yellow Brick Road was discovered by the Nautilus deep sea exploration vessel. You can read all about the 2022 E/V Nautilus expedition here. The team were surveying the Liliʻuokalani sea area to the north of Hawaii. Liliʻuokalani was the last sovereign monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom and ruled until the kingdom was overthrown at the beginning of 1893 AD.
The research team’s YouTube video revealed a range of fascinating sea creatures and they searched for archaeological evidence. This deep sea exploration effort is the first of its kind in the area, and showing some crazy stuff, so they use the words ‘bizarre’, ‘insane’ and ‘awesome’ a lot. When they come upon the geological feature over which all the fuss is being made, one of the researchers enthuses “It's the road to Atlantis,” while another screams “this is crazy.”
If You Thought That Was Crazy, Check This Out
About a thousand meters deep on the summit of the Nootka seamount, one of the team says the ground looks like “baked crust that could be peeled off.” Then one of the scientists calls the rock formation bizarre. While the geological feature he was referring to, that has made the headlines, is not actually bizarre, in geological terms, the pillar like formations featured at 17.55 mins, which one of the team refers to as “Devil’s piles” are indeed geologically bizarre.
The Devil’s Piles the team came across in their deep sea explorations.
Devils Postpile National Monument protects and preserves the Devils Postpile formation. Towering up to 60 feet (18 meters) high, this geological example of columnar basalt displaying hexagonal geometry can also be seen on the other side of the Atlantic.
On a shoreline in County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland , about three miles (4.8 km) northeast of the town of Bushmills, the Giant’s Causeway features 40,000 interlocking basalt columns in a similar stepping stone structure to those featured in the scientist´s Liliʻuokalani video. The Irish formations range in height from 12 meters (39 feet) and can be as wide as 28 meters (92 feet).
A Team Of ‘Ologists’, Without The ‘Geo’
Returning to the Yellow Brick Road, a YouTube commenter killed the mystery in one simple post which was featured in the ScienceAlert article. They said the so-called unique 90-degree fractures are likely related to “heating and cooling stress from multiple eruptions at this baked margin.” The only reason the team were so excited is because they don't see such formations every day, whereas, if it was a geological team they might have passed over it without so much as a comment. But for sure, a geology team would have spent a week on the Devil's piles.
Modern mythology is paved with several underwater geological features caused by historic tectonic movements and volcanic eruptions. Perhaps the most infamous is the Bimini Road rock formation near North Bimini island in the Bahamas. Measuring about a kilometer long and comprising linear rectangular limestone blocks, many writers claim this was also a road to Atlantis. And it was from this name given to the Bimini Road that the Nautilus researcher got his reference for the tablet-like geological feature shown in the video.
The team say they have “a whole lot more to learn about Earth's hidden geology .” And what is fantastic about all this research is that it is available for us all to follow in real time, because every day live footage is streamed from E/V Nautilus deep sea RVs.

It has been claimed that a nurse was left traumatized after she was forced by the U.S. military to assist on an alien autopsy following the Roswell unidentified flying object (UFO) crash.
Daily Star reported that a person working at the Roswell funeral home, which was asked to make child-size coffins for alien bodies by the military, claimed that he knew the nurse. After the Roswell UFO crash in 1947, the employee, Glenn Dennis, was working at the undertakers in Roswell, New Mexico, according to IT Trending. He took the nurse's identity to the grave with him, but he revealed a few details about the encounter.
James Clarkson, a former detective and military police officer, spent time interviewing Dennis before his death. He believes that Dennis was a reliable witness. He shared that you just know, when somebody is telling you the truth, and he had "some intuition of when people are giving their heart when they're telling you what they really believe." He believed that Dennis "wasn't lying."
Dennis shared with Clarkson about the nurse who was left traumatized by the autopsy of an alien. Clarkson said that in small Western towns back then, they "didn't have paramedics or ambulances." He said that if they needed to transport a "sicker injured person, sadly, the best vehicle to do that in was a hearse," and so many times in small towns, "the funeral home, the funeral directors would do double duty."
He shared that Dennis was taking an injured airman back to the base and he pulled in there and "he saw all these vehicles and people that he'd never seen before." Clarkson added that then a nurse Dennis knew came out of a back room and said, "Glen, what are you doing here?" She was so horrified that she "resigned her commission in the military," and there'd been a "lot of speculation about where she went." Clarkson said that Dennis promised her that he would never reveal her name.
Clarkson said that when they started investigating Roswell, which wasn't until the eighties, and heard about Dennis "working in the funeral home and being called, people were all over him." He kept saying that he didn't want to share anything about the nurse. When he was pushed too far, Clarkson said that Dennis made a name up, just to stop the questions, but later regretted it.
75 years ago, Roswell 'flying saucer' report sparked UFO obsession
75 years ago, Roswell 'flying saucer' report sparked UFO obsession
Dave Kindy, The Washington Post
Fort Worth Army Air Field 8th July 1947: Jesse Marcel, head intelligence officer, who initially investigated and recovered some of the debris from the Roswell UFO site poses with debris. In mid-1947, a United States Air Force balloon crashed at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Following wide initial interest in the crashed 'flying disc', the US military stated that it was merely a conventional weather balloon.

The world was worrying about war when rancher W.W. Brazel walked into the sheriff's office in Corona, N.M., on a hot, dusty day 75 years ago to report a "flying disk" he might have found on his property, about 100 miles northwest of Roswell Army Air Field.
The next day - July 8, 1947 - the public information officer at the base issued a news release stating the U.S. Army Air Forces had recovered a "flying saucer" at the ranch. While military brass quickly retracted the statement, it was too late: The legend of Roswell as the "UFO Capital of the World" was already soaring - much like the countless bright objects many Americans claimed to have seen in the sky that summer.
The event that we know today as the "Roswell Incident" gave birth to the modern movement of UFO sightings, along with the genre of alien science fiction.
"For centuries, people have seen things they can't explain," said Roger Launius, a historian and the retired curator of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. "In earlier generations, they referred to them as angels, demons, deities or whatever. That changes with the scientific revolution, where people began to wonder if the points of light they see are alien in nature."
The fertile ground for Roswell was sown under the darkening mushroom cloud of the nuclear age. World War II had ended less than two years earlier, and the United States and Soviet Union seemed to be on the precipice of another global conflict. The term "Cold War" was coined by George Orwell in a 1945 essay and entered the modern consciousness when Bernard Baruch, an adviser to President Harry S. Truman, uttered it in a speech in the spring of 1947.
Amid this heightened apprehension came the first news of "flying saucers" - and the term's first mention in print, according to the Oxford English Dictionary - on June 24. Media across the country reported that a civilian pilot named Ken Arnold said he'd spotted bright objects streaking across the sky at supersonic speeds near Mount Rainier in Washington.
Some officials suggested the fast-moving lights might have been rockets or jets being tested by the military. Nonetheless, public hysteria erupted over the next few weeks, with more than 800 similar sightings being reported across the country - many of them deemed "copycat" events by law enforcement and military officials.
"When Ken Arnold sees this stuff, it's told in an overblown tabloid way," Launius said. "It gets hyped-up in the press and builds from there. If the present doesn't tell you that Americans love conspiracies, I don't know what does. It wasn't any different in 1947."
While all this was happening, an unsuspecting Brazel was tending the sheep and cattle on his New Mexico ranch. With no radio or newspaper, he was isolated from the outside world. The rancher gave little thought to the unusual debris he found scattered around his pastures.
On July 5, Brazel headed into Corona on a Saturday night and learned what everyone else had been talking about. He began to wonder whether there was a connection. On Monday, he gathered up the strange material and traveled back into town to inform local officials of his discovery. The sheriff visited Brazel's ranch, then contacted the military.
The debris was transported to Fort Worth Army Air Field in Texas, where military experts proclaimed it was from a crashed weather balloon. However, before that pronouncement was relayed back to Roswell, the New Mexico base sent out the news release about finding a "flying saucer." Lt. Walter Haut, Roswell's public information officer, later claimed that base commander Col. William H. Blanchard had ordered him to use that description.
For a few days, the world's attention was focused on Roswell, N.M. But most people seemed satisfied with the military's explanation, and the story quickly faded.
It would not blow up again until 1978, when the National Enquirer ran an article about the incident. All of a sudden, new versions of the event emerged - some from the original participants - with reports of an actual spacecraft, alien bodies and a government coverup adding new layers to the legend.
"The story seems to get better with each retelling," Launius said. "Initially, there was no discussion whatsoever of alien bodies. That somehow gets wrapped in it as part of the original incident, even though there is nothing about it in the sources of the time."
The story evolved with a seemingly endless array of articles, books, movies and documentaries about what "really happened" in the New Mexico desert. In 1993, television audiences were introduced to the long-running series "The X-Files," whose fictional stories of FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Sculley tracking down alien abductions and an international conspiracy only added fuel to the fire.
Many involved with the incident altered their descriptions of events over time, including the government. In 1947, the CIA and military were concerned that these "flying saucers" were actually new technology being used by the Soviets. When the Army Air Forces retracted its first statement, it was less than forthcoming about the debris' origins - likely because it was hiding a secret.
"The weather balloon was a cover story," Launius said. "The best evidence suggests that this was a Project Mogul listening device that they recovered pieces of."
Project Mogul was a military program designed to intercept Russian radio messages via high-altitude balloons, which would eventually deflate and fall to the Earth. Several crash sites have been identified around the country. In 1994, a U.S. Air Force report identified the top-secret project as the likely source of the debris found in New Mexico.
Launius said the UFO sightings of the summer of 1947 were the result of a world consumed by fear of an apocalypse.
"Just in the United States between 1947 and 1960, there were a total of 6,523 UFO reports," he said. "There seems to be a direct tie between public perception of the reality of space travel and these UFO sightings. I am convinced that the rapid rise in the number of UFOs reported in the early Cold War era was the result of heightened tensions as everyone watched the skies for warning of a nuclear attack."
But even if the Roswell Incident could be explained by a military program, subsequent events in the skies remain a mystery. On July 19, 1952, almost exactly five years after Brazel reported the strange debris on his ranch, a series of UFO sightings occurred over Washington, D.C. Airline pilots reported seeing flashes of light streaking across the sky, and radar operators were perplexed by fast-moving blips on their screens. The Air Force scrambled jets to intercept the objects, which disappeared and never returned. The event 70 years ago has never been explained.
As the poster in Mulder's office in "The X-Files" reads, "I want to believe."
See what people in Florida have seen in the sky and reported to the National UFO Reporting Center. (Shutterstock)
FLORIDA — Here's something to celebrate as World UFO Day approaches on July 2: The Defense Department has finally acknowledged UFOs — or UAP, unidentified aerial phenomena — are real and may explain what you've seen in the skies over Florida.
In May, during the first public hearing on UFOs in half a century, a top Navy intelligence official told lawmakers the military has added more than 250 reports of aircraft flying at mysterious speeds and trajectories to its database in the past year, bringing the total to about 400.
What lawmakers didn't hear is evidence of extraterrestrial life.
What are folks reporting in the skies above Florida? The crowd-sourced list from the National UFO Reporting Center includes some strange things, indeed. For example:
One person in Fort Meyers said they saw a bright object moving across the sky and leaving smoke circles.
Another person on Anna Maria Island reported seeing a disc that moved across the sky for about 10 seconds and then quickly faded.
Someone in Jacksonville said they saw three objects hovering in the sky for about two hours. They told the Reporting Center that they called 911 1hen they saw an airplane flying in the same direction, but the dispatcher said there was not an aircraft in the area.
World UFO Day on July 2 commemorates the Roswell crash, which more or less made it safe for Americans to talk about strange occurrences in the sky. The crash occurred at the dawn of the Cold War, a time of escalating tension over the arms race when school children were taught duck-and-cover drills to protect themselves in a nuclear attack, fueling wild speculation about the object's origins.
The Roswell Army Air Field announced in a July 8, 1947, news release that it had recovered the wreckage of a "flying disc" from W.W. "Mac" Brazel's ranch about 75 miles north of Roswell.
The release was straightforward, noting:
"The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff's office of Chaves County."
Earlier that summer, on June 24, 1947, Kenneth Arnold, a businessman piloting a small plane, filed the first well-known report of a UFO over Mount Rainier in Washington, according to History. Arnold claimed he saw nine high-speed, crescent-shaped objects zooming along at several thousand miles per hour "like saucers skipping on water."
The Roswell Army Air Field mentioned nothing in its press release about alien life, but people were already growing uneasy about what might be circling overhead. Brazel was among them.
He thought the object he found on his ranch was similar to what Arnold had seen, or to the objects described stories about flying saucers and discs, so he gathered some of the material from the wreckage, including rubber strips, tinfoil and thick paper, and deposited them with Sheriff George Wilcox, who in turn turned it over to the commanding officer of the Roswell Army Air Field.
Although the objects Arnold claimed to see weren't saucer-shaped at all, his analogy led to the popularization of the term "flying saucers." And since then, Americans have been more or less obsessed with the idea that alien life is among us. That brings us to the May hearings.
The Defense Department was loathe for many years to even acknowledge the existence of UFOs — or, as they're referred to in military and spy agency circles, UAP. But the Pentagon had to walk back years of public denial after a shadowy five-year program to investigate UFOs was exposed in 2017 by The New York Times and Politico.
The intelligence gathered over the five years of the program, which was initiated in 2007, included former Naval Cmdr. David Fravor's account of an other-wordly encounter with an oblong, Tic Tac-shaped aircraft flying erratically through his airspace at an incredible speed, defying accepted principles of aerodynamics.
"I can tell you, I think it was not from this world," Fravor told ABC News in 2017. "I'm not crazy, haven't been drinking. It was — after 18 years of flying, I've seen pretty much about everything that I can see in that realm, and this was nothing close."
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, now a ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, called on the Pentagon in late 2020 to investigate the UFO sightings.
The military said in its 2021 report to Congress on UFOs that investigators found no evidence supporting alien life, a finding Scott W. Bray, the deputy director of Naval intelligence, repeated in the hearings in May, telling lawmakers the investigation hadn't turned up anything "extraterrestrial in origin," and that none of the documented objects had attempted to make contact with U.S. aviators.
All of the unexplained sightings appeared to be unmanned, Bray said.
Still, the sightings are of great concern both to the military and to members of Congress from both parties, who worry about threats to national security. Some of the sightings of aircraft flying without a discernible means of propulsion have been reported near military bases, raising concerns they are the stealth spy aircraft of U.S. adversaries.
The U.S. government is believed to be withholding technical information about the sightings of the mysterious aircraft near military bases and coastlines, raising concerns about Chinese or Russian spy technology.
"We are also mindful of our obligation to protect sensitive sources and methods," Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie said in his opening remarks. "Our goal is to strike that delicate balance — one that will enable us to maintain the public's trust while preserving those capabilities that are vital to the support of our service personnel."
Indiana Congressman Andre Carson, a Democrat who chairs the subcommittee of the House Intelligence Committee that held the hearing, has previously said that pilots too often are reluctant to come forward for fear they'll be ridiculed.
"We want to know what's out there as much as you want to know what's out there," Moultrie told lawmakers, adding that he was a fan of science fiction himself. "We get the questions, not just from you. We get it from family, and we get them night and day."
The move to destigmatize UFO reports appears to be contributing to an increase in reports, and detection capabilities are improving, Bray said.
For example, he said, Navy and Air Force pilots and crews "now have step-by-step procedures for reporting UAPs," using onboard technology.
Also, sensors have been improved, and more drones and other non-military aerial systems are in the skies, which could account for some of the increased sightings.
Another possible culprit, Bray said: Mylar balloons.
Republican Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher introduced an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to protect UFO whistleblowers from retaliation.
The amendment would create a “secure system for receiving reports of any event” or “any government or government contractor activity related to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). The whistleblower system would be staffed by “designated and widely known, easily accessible, andappropriately cleared Department of Defense and intelligence community employees or contractors.”
The language in the amendment has the potential to increase the disclosure of information on UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) as it would protect those who come forward with information, according to The Drive. Individuals who speak publicly about UFOs have reportedly said that they have proof of alien life, but do not reveal much of the details for fear of imprisonment, according to Engadget.

The whistleblower system would be screened “to prevent unauthorized public reporting or compromise of properly classified military and intelligence systems, programs, and related activity, including all categories and levels of special access and compartmented access programs, current, historical, and future.”
Should anyone who discloses information on UFOs and UAPs be retaliated against, they would be allowed to bring civil action “for all appropriate remedies,” the amendment continued.
“Despite recent progress, we still know far too little about UAPs, along with the threat they may pose to our national security and the safety of our pilots. No one should be afraid of potential repercussions from sharing information that could help us better understand this phenomena, which is why we need to establish a secure and protected process within the government for individuals to share information and expand our understanding,” Gallagher told the Daily Caller of his amendment.
Gallagher is an outspoken advocate for UFO/UAP disclosure. During a livestreamed House Permanent Select Committee Intelligence Hearing on the topic, he pushed Pentagon officials to disclose more information on one reported incident from a Montana nuclear facility, which was shared to his YouTube channel.
Blue-Skinned E.T. From Andromeda Told US Army Personnel Origin Of Humanity
Blue-Skinned E.T. From Andromeda Told US Army Personnel Origin Of Humanity
There are many assumptions about the number of extraterrestrial species in the universe. Many UFOlogists, abductees, and even people in authorities claim to have seen the so-called intelligent beings from outer space. Alex Collier is the only contactee who provided in-depth information about the beings from Andromeda. In his interviews, he discussed the influence of various alien species on the human race.
Many well-known UFO enthusiasts considered Collier to be credible, at least in the sense that he tries to convey as fully as possible the information received from his contacts with the Andromedans. He first began to experience extraterrestrial contact during his childhood up to his mid-teens. After the experiences stopped over a period of several years, which included military service as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army, the contact resumed in 1985.
He met with two Andromedans who became his mentors and took him on board their space vehicles including a large extraterrestrial mother ship where he was exposed to the teachings of the Andromedans over a three-month period. The Andromedans gave him information about cosmic spirituality, life in the universe, and Earth’s galactic history.
Collier claimed that humans are composite of 22 different ETs races that arrived on Earth at different times
The Andromedans are “one of the thousands of extraterrestrial races in existence.” They are human and some have bluish skin, measuring more than 2 meters tall. According to Collier, the author of the book “Defending Sacred Ground: The Andromedan Compendium,” all human life forms originated in the Lyra Constellation. However, a war caused their stars to explode, making humanity spread to different places in the galaxy to survive.
Collier explains that the different skin tones are due to different DNAs and exposure to different stars. The Andromeda Beings are one of the oldest civilizations living in the Andromeda constellation.
This civilization, no matter where in the constellation it lives, has a single government and is spiritually 4,700 more advanced than us, as well as 5,000 years technologically. However, they maintain a balance of the spiritual and technological. In fact, they use technology to be able to evolve spiritually.
This is because there are different dimensional levels. We are currently in the Third dimension. We still haven’t reached the Fourth, much less the Fifth. What differentiates the Third from the Fourth dimension, is the conscience.
In the fourth dimension, there is a collective consciousness, because everyone is telepathic and can read the mind of the rest. This leads to each person being authentic, transparent, and without ulterior motives. Upon entering this dimension, the being becomes clairvoyant since, in this state of consciousness, energy systems and fields can be seen.
However, there are still dualities and the judgment systems are modified since the judiciary will be able to take decisions according to the energy fields. The beings of Andromeda have not lived in a society as manipulated as ours. They are telepathic and clairvoyant because they have studied all the sciences.
All souls know who they are, they all know about their past lives, and every time they incarnate, they are aware and know where they are going. In addition, they can see their evolution in the afterlife.
According to various interviews by Collier, he stated that Earth is under the control of “regressive” extra-terrestrial beings. Those aliens came to Earth from the star system known as Alpha Draconis. He said that humans are separated by two different philosophical belief systems. One of them spreads love & free will, while the other one shows control and resource consumption. He said humans are behind the Andromedans because of the manipulations in our DNA. The intense manipulation of Earth dated back 5,700 years. However, this has an origin 14,000 years ago, when the aliens from Orion began to manipulate our DNA structure.
In his last lecture before he retired from the UFO lecture circuit in 2002, Collier said that the ancient alien race known as the “Founders” are responsible for building planets’ environments and making them suitable for life. The Andromedans and the Pleiadians believed that this ancient alien race is called the “Paa Tal.”
He even said that those aliens are capable of removing moons to alter the planet’s position from its sun to control the amount of radiation. The Andromedans could reportedly create a solar system.
Collier noted that the Andromedans are about 4,300 to 4,500 years ahead of us in technology. They do not count years in 365 days as we do on Earth. According to different extraterrestrials, one year is a time when every cell in their body duplicates itself, and it takes around 34 years.
According to Collier, humans consist of 22 extraterrestrial races. He claimed that there are about 135 billion people living on the planets in the eight closest galaxies to us. He even said that when he visited one of those habitable planets, those people got scared of seeing an earthling because of our bad reputation. In the whole universe, only humans could make their own people slaves and kill them for their own benefits.

BOTSENDE STERRENSTELSELS? JA, MAAR JE MOET WEL GOED KIJKEN!
BOTSENDE STERRENSTELSELS? JA, MAAR JE MOET WEL GOED KIJKEN!
Tim Kraaijvanger
Ergens op deze Hubble-foto botsen twee sterrenstelsels op elkaar. En nee, het zijn niet de twee grote spiraalstelsels die in elkaar lijken te schuiven.
Het grote sterrenstelsel op deze ruimtefoto van de week is NGC 105. Dit spiraalstelsel is 215 miljoen lichtjaar van de aarde verwijderd en ligt in het sterrenbeeld Vissen. Het object werd in 1884 door de Franse astronoom Édouard Stephan ontdekt. NGC 105 is zelfs met een goede verrekijker nog niet te zien. Je hebt een flinke telescoop nodig, wat ook verklaart waarom het sterrenstelsel pas relatief laat is ontdekt.
Links naast NGC 105 zien we een ander sterrenstelsel. Het lijkt net alsof dit sterrenstelsel – PGC 212515 (of LEDA 212515) – botst met NGC 105. In werkelijkheid is er niets aan de hand. De afstand tussen PGC 212515 en de aarde is 350 miljoen lichtjaar. Dit betekent dat er ruim honderd miljoen lichtjaar ‘ruimte’ is tussen de zogenaamde botsende sterrenstelsels en dat is meer dan genoeg. Om het in perspectief te plaatsen: het Andromedastelsel is slechts 2,5 miljoen lichtjaar van onze Melkweg verwijderd.
Toch zijn er wel botsende sterrenstelsels te zien op deze prachtige foto. Dan moeten we wel eerst goed inzoomen. Ver in de achtergrond treffen we diverse onregelmatige sterrenstelsels in verschillende soorten en maten aan. En ja hoor: er zijn zelfs twee botsende sterrenstelsels zichtbaar. Kijk maar eens naar de uitsnede hieronder. De botsende sterrenstelsels zie je net onder het midden van de foto.
Maar er is meer te zien op de foto. Zie je die heldere ster rechtsboven NGC 105? Die ster bevindt zich in onze Melkweg. Dit object staat dus honderdduizenden keren dichter bij de aarde dan NGC 105. Daarnaast zie je ook talloze rode puntjes. Dit zijn allemaal sterrenstelsels op miljarden lichtjaren afstand van de aarde. Fascinerend!
Veranderlijke ster steelt de show De reden dat NGC 105 is gefotografeerd door de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop is omdat dit sterrenstelsel een zogenoemde Cepheïde huisvest. Dit is een veranderlijke ster die regelmatig opzwelt en krimpt. Als de ster opzwelt, neemt de temperatuur toe en wordt de Cepheïde helderder. Na deze piek krimpt de gasbol weer en koelt de ster zo’n duizend graden af. Cepheïden zijn overigens hele grote sterren, namelijk zogenoemde superreuzen. Een gemiddelde Cepheïde heeft een doorsnede van vijftig miljoen kilometer. In vergelijking: de zon heeft een doorsnede van ruim één miljoen kilometer.
Verschillende supernova’s In NGC 105 bevinden zich ook nog eens drie Type Ia supernova’s, namelijk SN 1997w, SN 2006tg en SN 2007A. Dit type supernova ontstaat in nauwe dubbelstersystemen, waarin de ene ster een witte dwerg is, en de andere een rode reus (of een tweede witte dwerg). Type Ia supernova’s spelen een cruciale rol in ons begrip over het universum. De supernova van type Ia is namelijk de helderste soort supernova: hij straalt meer dan een miljard keer meer energie uit dan onze zon. Hierdoor kunnen ze over grote afstanden worden gezien. Bovendien stoten ze bij hun gewelddadige ontploffingen veel elementen uit waar vervolgens nieuwe sterren en sterrenstelsels uit voortkomen.
Astronomen kunnen Type Ia supernova’s en Cepheïden gebruiken om de afstand tot verre sterrenstelsels nauwkeuriger te bepalen. Wat dat betreft is NGC 105 daarmee het perfecte ‘proefkonijn’ voor astronomen, omdat beide objecten hier aanwezig zijn.
De afgelopen decennia hebben ruimtetelescopen en satellieten prachtige foto’s gemaakt van nevels, sterrenstelsels, stellaire kraamkamers en planeten. Ieder weekend halen we één of meerdere indrukwekkende ruimtefoto uit het archief. Genieten van alle foto’s? Bekijk zeop deze pagina.

Three 150-mile-wide spacecraft are on their way to Earth: Observed by HAARP, the Space Research System
In the 21st century, U̳F̳O̳ encounters have become increasingly common, particularly as it has become nearly impossible to distinguish between accidental U̳F̳O̳ sightings and actual U̳F̳O̳ sightings.
Special air defense departments, as well as other elements such as underground laboratories, were effectively coordinated and we provided evidence to support these allegations.
We cannot rule out the idea that intelligence agencies have analyzed samples from a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ spacecraft or even the a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ itself, alive or dead. Scientists are the ones who research these questions and are obligated to share their findings with us.
Three massive spacecraft are getting dangerously close to our world, according to SETI, the Agency for Extraterrestrial Intelligent Research. The largest is 150 miles long and 150 miles wide.
The HAARP space research system, created to investigate northern lights phenomena, observed these objects.
Other claims indicate that these objects are e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ satellites that will be visible from Earth after passing through the orbit of Mars. The arrival of the ships will be the first time that humans have come into contact with a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ races in history.

Sphere Over Menlo park, California July 10, 2022, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 10, 2022
Location of sighting: Menlo Park, California, USA
Watch this huge orb moving over Menlo Park yesterday. The eyewitness saw it for 15 minutes, but only caught 58 seconds of video, but still it shows us its sphere shape. Absolutely awesome! Love this video, as short as it is, it tells me so many things, its sphere shape, its slow rotation, its high in the blue sky and moving ever so slowly...I just wish we could see it leaving. To see it move faster or change directions would help understand it a bit.

Eyewitness states:
UFO was stationary for 15 min before slowly ascending vertically and directly in the same position. My son and Mother both were witnesses to this craft.
This UFO was seen and filmed in the daytime sky above Menlo park in California on 10th July 2022.

EXCLUSIVE: Roswell 75 years on: Leading UFO expert says he's still unsure if flying saucer really did crash in New Mexico desert - and queries whether US used it to cover-up secret aircraft smash
EXCLUSIVE: Roswell 75 years on: Leading UFO expert says he's still unsure if flying saucer really did crash in New Mexico desert - and queries whether US used it to cover-up secret aircraft smash
On July 8, 1947, the US military announced it had a flying saucer in its possession
In less than 24 hours the narrative changed from a UFO to a weather balloon
Nick Pope, who ran the British Government’s UFO project from 1991 to 1994, said if this was a cover story, it was one of the best in American history
People did not question the switched narrative and went on with their lives
Today, Roswell has become more of a joke rather than a UFO sighting
Pope says that the cover up could have been for a top secret weapon
The news of a UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico sent shockwaves through the nation, but what was once a headline of a newspaper on July 8, 1947 now seems to be nothing more than an urban legend.
The Roswell event started with a flying saucer in military possession to it being nothing more than a weather balloon, and a UFO expert Pope Nick told DailyMail.com that the '180 narrative flip' was effective in 'killing the story'
Nick Pope, who ran the British Government’s UFO project from 1991 to 1994, told DailyMail.com in a phone interview: ‘The US military released a press release that we had recovered a flying disc, which they said was once of those mystifying discs spotted over the US weeks before.
’24 hours later, they completely reversed the narrative.’
If the debris at Roswell was not of this world, than this could be one of the best cover story in American history, Pope suggested.
‘I am not saying this is deliberate, but the best cover story is the one that makes you laugh, makes roll your eyes,’ he said.
‘If something becomes a joke then serious politicians, military personal, scientists and journalists don’t want to touch it or if they do, they come from a perspective that they do not really believe it.’
The ‘180 narrative flip,’ as Pope calls it, refers to the intelligence office of the 509th Bombardment Group announcing that day at noon that they were in possession of a flying saucer and then stating that it was later determined by military officials to be a radar-tracking balloon.
‘I am still undecided,’ said Pope when asked if he believes it was an alien aircraft that crashed on the ranch 75 years ago.
‘As much as I believe in life out there, I am not sure about visitation.’
The wreckage was first discovered by W.W. 'Mac' Brazel, who was taking his sheep to a nearby stream.

The debris is described as being a metallic-looking, light but strong material. Pictured Jesse Marcel, a former military personnel, holding the debris
Brazel spotted the debris over his land and called the authorities who came to the scene for a deeper analysis – which they determined was a flying saucer.
The Roswell Daily Record quickly got the story out on the front page with the headline: RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region.’
The story described the debris as being a metallic-looking, light but strong material.
But the excitement was gone in what seemed like an instant and no one thought twice about it.
‘The late 40s was a more trusting era,’ Pope said.

The wreckage was discovered in In July 1947, by a rancher living in Roswell, New Mexico
‘This was an era where trust in the government and military was very high and it was an era before the internet and social media.
'Because most people didn’t have a telephone, the morning newspaper was their window on the world. I think it was treated as gospel.’
Pope also pointed out that any UFO books written in the 1950s to 1960s do not include any information on the Roswell event.
‘The killing of the story was that effective,’ he said.
Pope continued to explain that it would be fascinating if the 75-year-old case could be solved and if the result was that the debris was from a UFO.

‘I won’t pretend we have a smoking gun because we don’t,’ he said.
Mystery of the 1947 Roswell wreckage
In July 1947, a rancher reported pieces of debris scattered over his land.
Authorities were called to the scene and after investigating the wreckage, determined the pieces were from a flying sauce.
The local paper's front page story reported that the Roswell Army field recovered a flying saucer on a New Mexico Ranch after metallic-looking, light but strong material was scattered across the land.
'The intelligence office of the 509th Bombardment Group at Roswell Army Air Field announced at noon today, that the field has come into the possession of a Flying Saucer,' Roswell Daily Record reported on July 8, 1947.
However, shortly after the 'UFO' discovery made headlines, the War Department in Washington released a statement claiming the debris was the remains of a weather balloon.
‘Conversely, the people at the Roswell military base was where only atomic bomb squadron was housed and these people were the best of the best.’
‘If ever there were people less likely to misidentify a weather balloon it would be them.’
Playing devil’s advocate, Pope says the cover up could have been a way to conceal something like a top secret weapon that had crashed.
The conversation about UFOs and aliens is not taboo in the US, as over the past year the government has released video footage showing military jets chasing what could be a flying saucers.
There was also a recent public congressional hearing about UFOs, which saw three former cavalrymen testify about their encounter with a UFO at a Middle East US military base in 2014.
They said they saw eight bright objects hovering and zipping across the sky at incredible speeds from a desert outpost in Sinai, on the Egyptian border, around December 2014.
The three cavalry scouts, who are trained in identifying aircraft, believe the objects they witnessed were of non-human origin.
‘It is strange that despite all that interest and congressional hearings you hardly ever hear senators or congressional representatives s mention the 'R' word – Roswell,’ said Pope.
‘Maybe the stigma is still there and they can’t bring themselves to say Roswell and ask what about Roswell
‘The original ‘cover story’ if it was, may have been too effective and may have taken out of people’s minds in the media, public and government.’

Russian Navy Divers Encountered Aquatic Aliens: The Lake Baikal Humanoids
Perplexed, they watched in bewilderment as several curious creatures approached them. Despite being stationed at a depth of over one hundred and sixty-four feet, these humanoids wore no modern equipment
For centuries, Lake Baikal has been home to a plethora of unexplained phenomena. Locals claim countless peculiar UFO encounters frequently occur within this remote region of Russia
Located in southeastern Siberia, towards Mongolia’s border, sits the planet’s oldest and deepest lake. Nearly one-quarter of Earth’s fresh water is contained here. Astonishing depths of over five thousand feet have been measured in certain areas.
A myriad of unique plant and animal species inhabit the frigid territory, many of which exist nowhere else in the world. Scientists estimate this massive basin formed as an ancient rift valley more than twenty-five million years ago.
For centuries, Lake Baikal has been home to a plethora of unexplained phenomena. Locals claim countless peculiar UFO encounters frequently occur within this remote region of Russia. Some theorize an extraterrestrial base is lurking beneath the picturesque exterior.
One of the most bizarre reports occurred in 1982 during a routine Soviet military training dive. While navigating the foreboding aquatic realm, Navy personnel noticed anomalous figures swimming nearby.
Perplexed, they watched in bewilderment as several curious creatures approached them. Despite being stationed at a depth of over one hundred and sixty-four feet, these humanoids wore no modern equipment.
Each donned tight-fitting metallic suits complete with a helmet-like apparatus completely covering their heads. Upon closer inspection, troopers noticed the aliens were nearly ten feet tall. However, the colossal loch-dwellers soon disappeared back into the murky abyss.
Lake Baikal is home to thousands of species of plants and animals, many of them endemic to the region. It is also home to Buryat tribes, who raise goats, camels, cattle, sheep, and horses[14] on the eastern side of the lake,[15] where the mean temperature varies from a winter minimum of −19 °C (−2 °F) to a summer maximum of 14 °C (57 °F).[16] The region to the east of Lake Baikal is referred to as Transbaikalia or as the Transbaikal,[17] and the loosely defined region around the lake itself is sometimes known as Baikalia. UNESCO declared Baikal a World Heritage Site in 1996.

Scientists Have Just Detected A Massive Rogue Object Heading Through Our Solar System via Unexplained Mysteries
Scientists Have Just Detected A Massive Rogue Object Heading Through Our Solar System via Unexplained Mysteries
Scientists have just detected a massive rogue object heading through our Solar System. Today, we take a look at what has just been detected in our solar system. Our universe is vast and limitless and with such a huge world to explore and research through, there are of course a staggering number of discoveries being made each day, filling us in about what lies beyond Earth, whether it is updates about our own missions or entirely new detections, there is plenty to discover.
Black holes are a classic trope of many science fiction favourites, though they may not truly be an abyss for lost items and they are not a portal for time travel, they are still a fascinating scientific concept. Thank you for watching!
