The ‘All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office’ is America’s new UFO-hunting agency

The question of whether aliens have come to Earth for a visit is under official investigation by the Americans.
A new office, called the ‘All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office’ (AARO for short), has been created to ‘detect, identify and attribute objects of interest… and, as necessary, to mitigate any associated threats to safety of operations and national security.’
The AARO will become the central hub for collecting, investigating and managing reports of UFO sightings around the world.
It will span the entire US Department of Defence, which includes the Army, Navy and Air Force.
A video grab image obtained April 28, 2020 courtesy of the US Department of Defense shows part of an unclassified video taken by Navy pilots that have circulated for years showing interactions with ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’. (Credit: Getty)
According to a statement from the Pentagon, they’ll be paying close attention to ‘anomalous, unidentified space, airborne, submerged and transmedium objects.’
If you’re not clear on what a ‘transmedium’ object is, it’s a craft capable of moving seamlessly between land, air and sea.
The AARO will be headed up by its new director: Dr. Sean M. Kirkpatrick, who was most recently the chief scientist at the Defence Intelligence Agency’s Missile and Space Intelligence Center.
Sadly, they concluded there was no evidence of alien activity in any of them.
Have aliens already visited Earth? It’s unlikely. (Credits: Getty)
And, in all liklihood, the Pentagon has probably authorised the creation of the AARO not because of a concern over alien visitors, but because the US government is a bit nervy over other countries creating more advanced aerospace technology.
James Webb-telescoop loopt volgend jaar weer gevaar op beschadiging door gruis van komeet Halley
De James Webb-telescoop zal de komende twee jaar door stof en gruis vliegen, achtergelaten door de komeet Halley in ons zonnestelsel. Wetenschappers willen voorkomen dat de telescoop van 10 miljard dollar (9,8 miljard euro) opnieuw zou beschadigd raken zoals in mei van dit jaar.
Het is dus niet komeet Halley zelf die zou kunnen botsen met de James Webb-telescoop, ook al heeft die een omvang van zo’n 15 bij 8 kilometer. Halley draait immers maar ongeveer elke 75 jaar in een baan om de zon en wordt pas in 2061 weer in ons zonnestelsel verwacht. Dan zal Halley relatief dicht bij de aarde passeren, en dus mogelijk even helder als de helderste ster Sirius te zien zijn. Tegen die tijd is de Webb-telescoop er waarschijnlijk niet meer. De hoop is dat die het uithoudt tot begin de jaren 2040. Halley is, voor zover bekend, de enige komeet die twee keer in een mensenleven met het blote oog kan worden aanschouwd.
Kometen bestaan uit stof, rotsen en ijs. Als ze dicht bij de zon komen, smelten ze en stoten ze materiaal af. Ze laten gruis ter grootte van zandkorrels achter op hun weg naar en weer uit het zonnestelsel, zowel voor als na hun lus rond de zon. Ingenieurs houden rekening met ongeveer één inslag van een meteoroïde per maand, maar dat zou enorm kunnen toenemen als de telescoop door een meteorenzwerm reist.
NASA probeert meteorenzwermen te voorspellen voor de ingenieurs, zodat die de Webb-telescoop er, voor zover mogelijk, veilig door kunnen loodsen. Pieken worden verwacht in mei volgend jaar en het jaar daarop, wanneer Webb door de komeetstroom van Halley zal vliegen.
In onderstaande video zie je hoe de James Webb-telescoop eruitziet en waar hij voor gebruikt wordt:

ZWARTEGATENPOLITIE VINDT 'SPELD IN HOOIBERG': EERSTE SLAPENDE ZWARTE GAT VAN STELLAIRE MASSA BUITEN MELKWEG
ZWARTEGATENPOLITIE VINDT 'SPELD IN HOOIBERG': EERSTE SLAPENDE ZWARTE GAT VAN STELLAIRE MASSA BUITEN MELKWEG
Jeannette Kras
Het is een ontdekking van formaat: een slapend zwart gat bij onze buren in de Grote Magelhaense Wolk. En nog wel door een team dat normaal juist zwarte gaten ontmaskert.
Deze keer dus geen ontkrachting van het bestaan van een zwart gat, maar de bevestiging ervan. Het gaat meer precies om een slapend zwart gat van stellaire massa in het op twee na dichtstbij gelegen sterrenstelsel vanaf onze Melkweg. “Voor het eerst is ons team bijeengekomen om verslag uit te brengen over de ontdekking van een zwart gat, in plaats van er eentje te ontmaskeren”, aldus onderzoeksleider Tomer Shenar in een persbericht. Opmerkelijk is ook dat de stervende ster waaruit het zwarte gat is ontstaan, verdwenen lijkt te zijn zonder een krachtige explosie.
“We hebben een speld in een hooiberg gevonden”, zegt Shenar, die met zijn team zes jaar aan waarnemingen van de Very Large Telescope (VLT) van de Europese Zuidelijke Sterrenwacht (ESO) bestudeerde. Ze zijn niet de eerste die een slapend zwart gat met stellaire massa ontdekken buiten onze Melkweg. Het is wel de eerste keer dat het bestaan ervan ondubbelzinnig is vastgesteld. Het zwarte gat heeft zeker negen keer zoveel massa als onze zon en draait rond een hete, blauwe ster, die 25 keer zwaarder is dan de zon.
Instorten onder hun eigen zwaartekracht Als zware sterren aan het eind van hun leven onder hun eigen zwaartekracht instorten, ontstaan zwarte gaten van stellaire massa. Bij een dubbelster, waarbij twee sterren om elkaar draaien, vormt zich dan een zwart gat dat om de andere ster draait. Het wordt een slapend zwart gat genoemd, omdat het weinig straling uitzendt. Dat maakt het direct ook heel moeilijk om te vinden. “Het is ongelooflijk dat we nauwelijks voorbeelden van slapende zwarte gaten kennen, terwijl astronomen denken dat ze heel veel voorkomen”, legt medeauteur Pablo Marchant van de KU Leuven uit.
Een slapend zwart gat is nog moeilijker te vinden dan een gewoon zwart gat, omdat het zo weinig straling uitzendt en geen interactie heeft met zijn omgeving. “We zijn al meer dan twee jaar op zoek naar zulke dubbelsterren met een zwart gat”, zegt medeauteur Julia Bodensteiner, onderzoeker bij ESO in Duitsland. “Ik was dan ook erg enthousiast toen ik hoorde over VFTS 243, dat naar mijn mening de meest overtuigende kandidaat tot nu toe is.”
Twijfels Ze spreekt nog steeds over ‘kandidaat’, omdat het ongelooflijk moeilijk is om vast te stellen of het echt een slapend zwart gat is. Er zijn namelijk vele alternatieve verklaringen. “Als onderzoeker die de afgelopen jaren diverse potentiële zwarte gaten heeft ontmaskerd, was ik uiterst sceptisch over deze ontdekking”, zegt Shenar. Medeauteur Kareem El-Badry van het Center for Astrophysics van Harvard & Smithsonian in de VS, had hetzelfde. “Toen Tomer me vroeg om zijn bevindingen te controleren, had ik mijn twijfels. Maar ik kon geen plausibele verklaring voor de gegevens vinden waar geen zwart gat aan te pas kwam”, legt El-Badry uit.

Het onderzoeksteam heeft bijna duizend zware sterren in de Tarantulanevel in de Grote Magelhaense Wolk onderzocht in de hoop er eentje te vinden waar een zwart gat omheen draait. Uiteindelijk vonden ze VFTS 243. “De ster die het zwarte gat in VFTS 243 heeft gevormd, lijkt volledig te zijn ingestort, zonder enig teken van een voorgaande explosie”, legt Shenar uit. “De laatste tijd zijn meer aanwijzingen voor dit ‘direct-collapse’-scenario ontdekt, maar ons onderzoek levert aantoonbaar een van de hardste bewijzen. Dit heeft enorme implicaties voor de oorsprong van samensmeltende zwarte gaten in het heelal.”
Zwartegatenpolitie Zijn team staat bekend als de ‘zwartegatenpolitie’, omdat het zich normaal gesproken vooral bezighoudt met het ontkrachten van ontdekkingen van zwarte gaten door aan te tonen dat het toch om iets anders gaat. Toch hoopt het team nu dat hun ontdekking andere wetenschappers ertoe aanzet om ook op zoek te gaan naar zwarte gaten van stellaire massa die om zware sterren draaien. De verwachting is dat er duizenden zijn in ons Melkwegstelsel en in de Magelhaense Wolken. “Natuurlijk verwacht ik dat anderen onze analyse zorgvuldig bestuderen en alternatieve modellen proberen te bedenken”, besluit El-Badry. Maar tot nu toe is dat dus nog niet gelukt.
VFTS 243 Hieronder zie je een video van hoe de dubbelster VFTS 243 in de Tarantulanevel eruit zou kunnen zien. De ster en het zwarte gat zijn niet op schaal getekend: in werkelijkheid is de blauwe ster ongeveer 200.000 keer zo groot als het zwarte gat. Door de hoek van de dubbelster kunnen we vanaf de aarde niet zien hoe het zwarte gat de ster verduistert.
Grote Magelhaense Wolk De Grote Magelhaense Wolk is een sterrenstelsel op ongeveer 170.000 lichtjaar van de Aarde. Daarmee is dit het op twee na dichtstbijzijnde sterrenstelsel vanaf onze Melkweg. Het heeft echter maar een honderdste van de massa van ons eigen sterrenstelsel. De diameter is 14.000 lichtjaar. Het is een onregelmatig sterrenstelsel dat in het centrum toch enkele balkvormige structuren heeft. Mogelijk komt de onregelmatigheid door interactie met de Melkweg en de Kleine Magelhaense Wolk (een dwergsterrenstelsel met een diameter van 7000 lichtjaar). ‘s Nachts is de Grote Magelhaense Wolk op het zuidelijk halfrond te zien als een vage wolk. Het sterrenstelsel is voor het eerst waargenomen in het jaar 964. Maar pas in 1519 maakte Ferdinand Magellaan in de westerse wereld melding van het bestaan van de wolk.
De Lokale groep De Grote Magelhaense Wolk is het op drie na grootste sterrenstelsel in de Lokale Groep. Dit is een groep van meer dan veertig sterrenstelsels. De diameter is ongeveer 10 miljoen lichtjaar. De twee grootste sterrenstelsels zijn de Andromedanevel en daarna onze eigen Melkweg. Dit zijn spiraalvormige sterrenstelsels, terwijl de Grote Magelhaense Wolk een wolkvormige structuur heeft.
De Tarantulanevel is een extreem felle nevel die deel uitmaakt van de Grote Magelhaense Wolk. Hij heeft een massa van ongeveer 450.000 keer onze zon en ligt op ongeveer 179.000 lichtjaar van de aarde. Het is een emissienevel in het sterrenbeeld goudvis, die bestaat uit een wervelende wolk kosmisch gas. De kern wordt gevormd door een paar van de helderste en massiefste sterren ooit waargenomen.
The Norse God Odin: Viking God of War, Father of Thor, But There’s More
The Norse God Odin: Viking God of War, Father of Thor, But There’s More
Odin is the chief deity of the Norse pantheon. Although Odin was worshipped more generally in Germanic paganism, the information we have today about this god is derived mostly from Norse mythology. These pieces of information include both written sources, such as myths, and archaeological finds, that combined paint a complex picture of this Norse (Viking) god. Consequently, it is difficult to figure out Odin’s exact role and character. Nevertheless, in general, Odin is viewed as a wise deity, in addition to his role as the Norse god of war. Apart from that, he was also associated with death, poetry, magic, and prophecy. As the primary god of the Norse pantheon, Odin plays an important role in many myths. And he was also the father of the mighty Thor, who is so loved in modern popular culture for his strength.

The Norse God Odin Was Also a Primary Germanic Deity
The name Odin is said to be derived from Proto-Germanic “Wodanaz,” which may be translated variously to mean “the fury,” “the furious,” “the inspired,” and “the inspiring.” One of the earliest textual references to the god Odin is found in Germania, written by the Roman historian Tacitus in the 1st century AD. In his work, Tacitus wrote that the “Of all the gods, Mercury is he whom they worship most. To him on certain stated days it is lawful to offer even human victims.” It has been pointed out that since Mercury’s day was identified as Wednesday, or “Woden’s day,” Tacitus was referring to Odin when he mentioned that the ancient Germans worshipped Mercury
Tacitus’ statement, however, must be taken with a pinch of salt. Whilst Odin was certainly a major deity amongst the ancient Germans , there is insufficient evidence to show that his cult was primary to all the Germanic tribes. In other words, Tacitus may have been making a sweeping generalization about the religious beliefs of the people he was writing about. Additionally, it has been suggested that whilst the elites may have venerated Odin, he may have been less popular amongst the common people compared to his son, Thor.
Ymir, the first Norse jotunn giant, sucks at the udder of Auðumbla as she licks Búri out of the ice in a painting by Nicolai Abildgaard, 1790.
Odin: The Viking Creator God And His Many Children
One of Odin’s many epithets was “All-father.” Apart from the belief that he fathered many gods with various women (more about which in a moment), Odin was also regarded as a creator god. According to one myth, in the beginning, there was a vast emptiness called Ginnungagap. From this nothingness, two realms, Niflheim and Muspelheim, emerged. Niflheim was located to the north of Ginnungagap, and was an extremely cold place, with nothing but ice, frost, and fog. Muspelheim, by contrast, formed in the south of Ginnungagap, and was a hot place, with only fire, lava, and smoke.
In spite of these harsh conditions, life appeared. In Niflheim was a spring called Hvergelmir, which the Norse believed was the source of all the cold rivers. There were 11 cold rivers, collectively known as Elivagar. The water from these rivers flowed from the mountains to the plain of Ginnungagap, where it froze, forming a solid layer of ice. As time went by, the ice layer expanded. At the same time, lava was flowing from Muspelheim onto the plain of Ginnungagap. Eventually, the two met in the middle of Ginnungagap.
The meeting of the hot and cold elements resulted in the melting of the ice. The melted ice began to drip, and a human-like creature began to form in the ice. This was Ymir, the first jotunn, or giant, in Norse mythology.
When Ymir slept, he began to sweat, and from these bodily fluids, two more giants, one male, and the other female, were born. Additionally, a third giant, another son called Thrudgelmir (meaning “Strength Yeller”) was born when one of Ymir’s legs paired with the other. The children of Ymir were the first of the frost giants, and were breastfed by Audhumbla, a giant cow, who, like Ymir, was created from the melting of the ice in Ginnungagap.
Audhumbla nourished herself by licking a block of salty ice. It was from this action that the first Norse god came into being. On the first day that the giant cow licked the block of salty ice, some human hair appeared. On the second day, a head emerged, and on the third, the rest of the body was freed. This was Buri, the first of the gods. Buri, through some unknown process, fathered a son, Borr, who later took Bestla (believed to be a jotunn) as his wife. Borr and Bestla were the parents of Odin, Vili, and Ve, the first of the Aesirs, one of the two main groups of gods in Norse mythology.
The three brothers noticed that the Aesirs were outnumbered by the jotnar, who were producing new giants at a rapid pace. They reasoned that the only way to solve this problem was to kill Ymir. Therefore, Odin and his brothers waited for the giant to fall asleep, before attacking him. Ymir, however, woke up, and a terrible fight ensued. In the end, Ymir was slain. So much blood flowed from the jotunn’s corpse that most of his offspring were drowned in it. Only two giants managed to escape. Using Ymir’s remains, Odin and his brothers created the world.
Thor, the Norse god of lightning, is one of Odin's sons and probably the most famous of Norse deities in popular culture today.
Odin Was the Father of Many Including the Great God Thor
The Norse also believed that Odin and his brothers created the first human beings, though this appears to be unconnected to the creation myth. According to this story, Odin and his brothers were walking along a beach when they came across two logs, one from an ash, and the other from an elm .
The gods decided to create humans out of the logs. Therefore, Odin gave the logs spirit and life, Ve gave them movement, mind, and intelligence, whilst Vili gave them shape, speech, feelings, and the five senses. The first man was called Ask, and the first woman Embla. The pair were placed by the gods in Midgard.
Odin was also the father of many of the other Norse gods. Odin’s wife was the goddess Frigg , with whom he had two sons, Baldur and Hod, who were direct opposites of each other. For instance, whilst Baldur represented light, Hod represented darkness (he is even depicted as being blind).
Odin also had sons with other women, many of whom were jotnar. For example, one of the best-known Norse gods, Thor, was the son of Odin and a jotunn named Jord. Another jotunn, Gridr, had a son, Vidarr, with Odin. According to prophecy, Vidarr, the god of vengeance, would avenge his father’s death during the Ragnarok. Another of Odin’s sons, Vali, was the offspring of the jotunn Rindr, and was destined to avenge the death of Baldur.
The heavenly palatial palace of Valhalla, depicted in this old painting by Max Brückner, was Odin's home.
Odin: The Norse God of War and His Palatial Valhalla Palace
In addition to his role as a creator god, Odin was worshipped as the Norse god of war. For instance, he was seen as a protector of Viking warriors. Additionally, the Norse thought that Odin never lost a battle, with some even believing that it was impossible for the god to lose a battle.
Most importantly, the Norse believed that those who died honorably in combat had the chance of entering Valhalla(meaning “Hall of the Slain”), Odin’s palatial home. The slain warriors are recruited by Odin’s daughters, the Valkyries (literally meaning “dead choosers”), and lived in Valhalla, where they would feast daily, and prepare for the final Ragnarok battle. On the day of the final battle these warriors, known as the einherjar, would fight alongside Odin and the rest of the Norse gods against their enemies.
Even though Odin was a warrior god, he did not win his battles with mere brute force and power. Indeed, the Norse also considered Odin to be a full of wisdom. Odin’s wisdom is most famously represented by his depiction as a one-eyed man. According to Norse mythology, the wisest god amongst the Aesir was Mimir, whose origin is not entirely clear. This god was renowned for his knowledge and prophetic wisdom.
In one myth, Mimir is depicted as the caretaker of the Well of Knowledge (known also as Mimir’s Well). Odin, in his quest for knowledge, journeys to this well, so that he could drink from it. Although Odin was allowed to drink from the well, he had to sacrifice one of his eyes for the privilege.
The Well of Knowledge is believed to be located in Jotunheim, the land of the giants, which suggests that Mimir was a jotunn. In another myth, however, Mimir is depicted as an Aesir. In this myth, the Aesir were at war with the Vanir, the other major group of Norse gods. In the end, the Aesir and Vanir made peace, and exchanged hostages.
On the one hand, the Vanir sent some of their most prized members, such as Njord, Freyr, and Freyja, to the Aesir. On the other hand, Aesir sent Mimir and Hoenir to the Vanir.
Whilst Mimir was a powerful god, Hoenir is said to have been a weak and indecisive deity. When the Vanir discovered this, they took it as an insult, and executed Mimir in retaliation. The god’s severed head was sent to Odin, who magically reanimated it.
Mimir’s head, therefore, became a source of knowledge, and Odin relied on its counsel when he needed to make important decisions.
In this vintage illustration Odin is seated on his throne with his magical messengers: two ravens and two wolves.
The Source of Odin’s Knowledge and Wisdom: Ravens and Wolves
Mimir was not the only source of knowledge that Odin had access to. The Norse believe that the god kept a pair of ravens, Huginn and Muninn (whose names literally mean “Thought” and “Memory”). Each morning, the birds would travel across the Nine Worlds to observe all that was going on. At night, Huginn and Muninn would return to Odin, and report to him all they had seen. It was through these ravens that Odin learned about everything that went on in each realm.
Apart from the ravens, Odin also kept a pair of wolves, Grei and Freki (meaning “Ravenous,” and “Greedy One”). The pair were supposedly created when Odin felt lonely. In his role as a warrior god, the wolves were perfect companions for Odin, as they would scour the battlefield, and feast on those who died in battle. Additionally, Odin’s mount was an eight-legged horse named Sleipnir (meaning “Slipper”).
In the epic and final Ragnarok battle, Odin dies in the jaws of the wolf Fenrir.
Ragnarok: The Death of Odin in Fenrir’s Killer Wolf Jaws
Although Odin was an immensely powerful god, he too would perish one day, at the Ragnarok (meaning “Fate of the Gods”). The Norse believed that this would be the final battle at the end of the current cosmic order. The events of Ragnarok, including Odin’s own death, are said to have been prophesied by the god himself, but even he is powerless to prevent it from happening.
According to Norse mythology, Ragnarok will be preceded by a series of portents, including the birth of three monsters to Loki and Angrboda, his giantess wife, the death of Baldur, terrible winters, and the subversion of the cosmic order.
As Ragnarok approaches, the various combatants would converge on Vigrid (meaning ‘Field of Battle’), where the final battle would be fought. The gods, both Aesir and Vanir, and their followers would do battle with the forces of Loki and the jotnar. The gods would be led by Odin, wearing a gold helmet and hauberk, and armed Gungnir, his magical spear. At Ragnarok, Odin’s chief adversary was to be the Fenrir, the great wolf, and one of Loki’s offspring.
Odin foresaw that he would fight valiantly against the monstrous wolf but would, in the end, be devoured by it. Odin’s death, however, would be avenged by his son, Vidar, who rips apart Fenrir’s jaw, thereby killing the beast.
Although Ragnarok is depicted as a devastating event, it did not signal the end of the world. Odin prophesied that some of the gods would survive, in addition to a pair of humans, who would go on to repopulate the world.
Odin Remains The Chief Deity of Asir and the Norse Pantheon
To conclude, Odin is the chief deity of the Asir, and by extension, the Norse pantheon. This is clearly reflected in the fact that he is present in the major Norse myths from the creation of the world to the destruction of the current cosmos.
Although Odin is depicted as a warrior god, he is also believed to have been full of wisdom. Poetry, magic, and prophecy were also associated with this god. The last of these enabled Odin to foresee the events of Ragnarok.
Despite being a powerful god, and having won all the battles he fought, Odin was not invincible. This is almost human trait is well captured by Odin seeing his death in his fight with Fenrir at Ragnarok, and that he was powerless to change this fate.

Dr. Steven Greer: “Anyone Who Knows This Material Would Have A Bullet With His Name On It.”
Dr. Steven Greer: “Anyone Who Knows This Material Would Have A Bullet With His Name On It.”
For those who don’t know who Steven Macon Greer is, we will clarify that he is an American retired doctor and U̳F̳O̳logist. Steven was born on June 28, 1955.
He is the founder of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), and the initiator of The Disclosure Project. Both of these projects are trying to uncover allegedly confidential U̳F̳O̳ data.
We recommend that you watch the video attached to this text and judge for yourself: Is Dr. Steven Greer is right when he says, “Anyone who knows this material would have a bullet with his name on it.”
Ufology career
Greer founded the Center for the Study of E̳x̳t̳r̳a̳-T̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ Intelligence (CSETI) in 1990 to create a diplomatic and research-based initiative to contact e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ c̳i̳v̳i̳l̳i̳z̳a̳t̳i̳o̳n̳s̳. The group defined CE-5 or ‘close encounters of the fifth kind’ as human initiated contact and communication with e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ life. CSETI claims to have over 3,000 confirmed reports of U̳F̳O̳ sightings by pilots and over 4,000 of what they describe as landing traces. The organisation utilizes ‘Rapid Mobilisation Investigative Teams’ with the aim of arriving at landing sites as quickly as possible. CSETI has defined a protocol for human initiated contact to U̳F̳O̳s using consciousness.
In 1993, Greer founded the Disclosure Project, the goal of which is to publicly disclose the government’s alleged knowledge of U̳F̳O̳s, e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ intelligence, and advanced energy and propulsion systems. The Disclosure Project was founded in an effort to grant amnesty to government whistle-blowers willing to violate their security oaths by sharing classified information about U̳F̳O̳s. Greer claims to have briefed CIA director James Woolsey at a dinner party, although Woolsey disputes the accuracy of Greer’s claim.
In May 2001, Greer held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that featured 20 retired Air Force, Federal Aviation Administration and intelligence officers.

Roswell Alien Interview between Matilda O'Donnell MacElroy and Airl after a UFO crash in July 1947
On July 7, 1947, an object crash landed on a ranch, approximately 75 miles northwest of Roswell, leaving a large field of debris. The local air base at Roswell investigated after the rancher first reported it to Roswell authorities on July 7. On July 8, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) announced it had recovered a "flying disk". A few hours after the initial "flying disk" press release, U.S. Army Air Force officials stated that it was not a UFO, but a weather balloon. When the question of what crashed was revived in the early 1980s, the "Roswell Incident" became a focus of conspiracy theorists, "abductees," and UFO investigators. It is believed the crashed UFO's were used for reverse engineering, explaining the rapid advancement in technology since that time.
NASA is planning to send an army of mini swimming robots to find the aliens in the oceans of other planets. Such a plan could be used to detect signs of alien life beneath the miles-thick icy shell of Jupiter’s moon Europa or Saturn’s moon Enceladus. But what about our home planet? Does NASA have any plan to explore our oceans? Have they already found everything about the only Blue planet in the Solar system? Or is something stopping them to do it? Interestingly, UFO expert Anna Whitty came forward with a strange theory that says “Aliens have been living under Earth’s ocean for protection and have always been here on the planet.”
Anna Whitty, an author of the book “UFO: A Fundamental Truth,” made the claim on the official statement of Dr. Shirley Wright, who interviewed aliens found at the Roswell crash site in 1947. Whitty stated that aliens are actually just humans – but an advanced form.
In a recently aired two-hour documentary on the UFO crash called “Roswell 75: The Final Evidence,” Anna Whitty was featured alongside expert Philip Mantle, director and producer Spyros Melaris, and Dr. David Hall.
The documentary also featured an interview where Dr. Shirley Wright, a former colleague of Albert Einstein stated that the aliens inquired about human exploration inside the ocean, they asked: “how far into the ocean” the humans traveled.

Whitty did an interviewer with the Daily Star, elaborating more on her claim, she said that if whatever Wright had documented through her interview is correct, then it is more believable for the aliens to come from under the sea rather than from another planet.
“If what Shirley said is right, it is more likely that aliens come from somewhere under the sea or caves or something like that, rather than another planet, it makes sense because there’s a lot of evidence on the planet that there has been a massive cataclysm every few thousand years,” Whitty said.
“If humans on the surface are being reset to the Stone Age every several thousands of years, and these people are somewhere where they are more protected because they are underground, then perhaps their development in technology and intelligence is continuing on an upwards trajectory whereas we’re reset. It’s also possible that maybe they aren’t beings at all, but they can make you think you’re seeing what you’re not seeing,” she added.
The documentary dives deep into the incident, examining the eyewitness accounts, the involvement of the space propaganda by the major powers, as well as several secret projects that were assumed to be covered up with the help of this incident.
Whitty’s theory of aliens being “underwater entities” could have some meaning as after all, there are videos of UFOs diving into the water. Below is the footage filmed in the CIC (Combat Information Center) of the USS Omaha on July 15, 2019, in a warning area off San Diego. This footage depicts a UAP event series that reached the culmination with one of the unknown targets entering the water. No wreckage was found, and none of the unknown craft was recovered.
Retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Richard French had served in the US army for more than 27 years. He was an alleged lead investigator of the Project Blue Book in the 1950s, his job was to shoot down false reports of UFOs. In Newfoundland, Canadian Province, he saw two aliens repairing their ship submerged underwater.
US Air Force Lt. Col. Richard French during his interview with openmindstv
French testified about his work on UFOs in 1952, in front of 6 former members of Congress at the Citizen Hearing in 2013. He recalled seeing two alien crafts below the water surface, 6 meters from the shoreline. He also saw two extraterrestrials near the ships. He remembered the water was clear, so he could see those beings doing something at the bottom of the craft.
“The water was fairly clear and I could see without any trouble. They weren’t down at the bottom of the [seabed] — they were about halfway down,” French said. He believed the aliens were repairing the ships and tested them before leaving. Whatever happened in Newfoundland is the classic UFO story ever given by the army official. Even though he was chosen to debunk UFO stories, he undoubtedly said that it was a UFO and there were extraterrestrials.
The idea that the ocean is inhabited by extraterrestrials can be backed by these incidents.
An incredible account of spotting underwater UFOs, or Underwater Submerged Objects (USOs), was shared by former Gunner’s Mate John Baughman, who served in the U.S. Navy from 2008 to 2013. He was stationed on the United States Navy’s third Nimitz-class supercarrier “The USS Carl Vinson” in 2010 when he first saw Tic Tac UFO underwater.
Capt. Kent D. Whalen and John Baughman, 2011
He said: “I was staring into the water from above when a large, flat, white ’Tic Tac’ object, approximately twenty feet in length, suddenly appeared in my view below me, moving right and darted into the depths as fast as it appeared. I couldn’t really comprehend what I saw. It was definitely a solid object, but when it descended, its forward end rapidly collapsed in on itself and disappeared.”
Another USO encounter occurred with the crew of the Soviet Submarine in the south of the Pacific ocean. At the depth of 260 meters, the six disc-like objects were moving toward the submarine at the speed of 426 km per hour. The crew could not escape their pursuit, and the commander ordered the crew to rise to the surface. The crew saw through the periscope that the objects came out of the water and took off at an absurdly fast speed.
There are classic alien abduction cases where the witnesses recalled being taken to secret underwater bases. The abduction of Betty Andreasson Luca is considered to be one of the most documented cases in the history of Ufology. The woman from Massachusetts experienced multiple abductions, and her case is widely studied by UFO researchers. (Click here to read the story of Betty Luca)
Betty Andreasson Luca
During one of her hypnotic regression sessions, Betty remembered one of the early abductions that occurred to her in her childhood. It took place in 1950, when she was taken from her home into a spacecraft as usual. But this time, the craft was flying toward an ocean or sea. She was terrified that the craft would crash into the water. But the ship submerged into the water and entered into a kind of tunnel. Betty could see everything underwater, as the place was filled with light.
Next is “Filiberto Cardenas Encounter,” where he claimed to have been taken to a secret underwater hangar, and interestingly, his abduction was witnessed by his friend’s family.
He remembered being taken to some unknown beach where he saw deep blue water. He said one of the aliens got out of the object and opened a secret tunnel, from where a similar craft came and flew away. The craft which he was in also went into the tunnel with great speed underwater. Soon, he was at the secret “large hangar” under the sea.

Saudi Arabia plans a massive desert SIDESCRAPER: MBS unveils 75 mile-long, $1 trillion skyscraper called the Mirror Line that will be taller than the Empire State Building and house up to five million people
Saudi Arabia plans a massive desert SIDESCRAPER: MBS unveils 75 mile-long, $1 trillion skyscraper called the Mirror Line that will be taller than the Empire State Building and house up to five million people
Saudi Arabia plans on building a 75-mile skyscraper called the Mirror Line by 2030
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced in January 2021 and said he wanted to be greater than the Egyptian Pyramids
The Mirror Line will consist of two 1,600 feet tall buildings that run parallels to each other and go across desert, mountains, and coastal areas
When completed, the $1 trillion megabuilding will hold up to 5million people and people will be able to commute end-to-end in 20 minutes
Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans for a $1 trillion, 75 mile long skyscraper made of mirrored glass that will stretch across its desert and stand taller than the Empire State Building.
The Mirror Line will be a part of the desert city called the Neom - that will be around the size of Massachusetts - which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced in January 2021.
He did so after saying he wanted his country to house a construction project as iconic and timeless as the Pyramids of Egypt.
'The Line is a project that is a civilizational revolution that puts humans first,' he said at the time.
The Mirror Line will consist of two 1,600 feet tall buildings that run parallel to each other across 75 miles of desert, coastal, and mountain landscapes.
Prince MBS has claimed he wants the Mirror Line to be ready by 2030, although engineers have said it could take 50 years to construct.
The building is so long that it will sit on struts to take the curvature of the Earth into account, and will also have a high speed train line running underneath its length.
If fully completed, the skyscraper will run from the Gulf of Aqaba, through a mountain range, and then extend along the coast into a desert 'aerotropolis,' the Wall Street Journal reported.
Salman also said that the project aimed to allow a million residents to meet within a five-minute walk and to travel end-to-end within a 20-minute stretch. It will also reportedly be powered by renewable energy.
The Mirror Line (pictured) will be a part of the desert city called the Noem - which will be around the size of Massachusetts. The 75-mile skyscraper will house two 1,600 feet tall buildings that run parallel to each other
The Mirror Line will have vegetation, including vertical farming, a high-speed train, and create thousands of jobs
The futuristic buildings feature a silver shine and an intricate inside, with stairwells and greenery and homes to create a linear community.
The trillions-of-dollars project is expected to house five million people after its completion and a high-speed train will run underneath the buildings, according to the Wall Street Journal. It will also feature a marina for boats underneath the arch of the buildings.
The community of millions will also be fed through vertical farming that will be integrated into the walls of the shiny buildings and residents will reportedly pay a subscription for three meals a day.
Prince MBS insists the buildings will be totally carbon neutral and good for the local environment.
The reflective buildings will house around five million people and residents will be able to get end-to-end in 20 minutes through renewable energy trains
The Line is located near the coastal area of the country
Desert living won't just be hot, sticky, and sandy, but the Mirror Line will also feature a sports stadium that is set to be 1,000 feet above the ground.
Salman is also hoping the Neom, as a whole, will create thousands of new jobs and let the oil-rich country stop being so dependent on the resource for wealth, according to the Wall Street Journal.
However, foreign investments in the Neom have not been so forthcoming as many Western countries continue to boycott the country over alleged human rights violations. Salman has been accused of ordering the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, but the Crown Prince has denied any involvement.
Others who have fewer political scruples have questioned whether the projects devised are just too ambitious. Saudi Arabia previously abandoned plans to build a mile-high skyscraper that would have been the world's tallest after getting into funding difficulties.
US President Joe Biden, 79, met with the Crown Prince last week to talk over the broken relationships between the countries. Bitterness between the two subsided a little as Biden is hoping a relationship with the Crown Prince will help lower inflation rates in the US, according to the Wall Street Journal.
High oil prices are actually helping Salman continue forth with the Mirror Line and Neom, as it is providing funding for the expensive project, the Wall Street Journal said.
Salman is hoping to great a desert community known as Neom

The futuristic community is supposed to rival the Egyptian Pyramids
However, Neom also faced human rights criticism when it was announced after tribes were forcibly removed from the area and security allegedly shot a resident dead.
The project's completion date is set for 2030, but builders and urban planners are struggling to resolve many questions. The project was originally set to be completed in 50 years.
Planners are struggling to answer if residents would consider living in a high-rise building after the pandemic, the migration of animals and birds, and how to deal with the structure impacting the flow of groundwater.
Environmental planners say the sheer size and length of the Mirror Line will disrupt migratory bird patterns - and the mirrored glazing of the building could further confuse them, pouring water on the project's desire to be planet-friendly.

‘We Have UFO Craft’ – Jeremy Corbell Says there’s Alien PROOF Being Kept Secret
‘We Have UFO Craft’ – Jeremy Corbell Says there’s Alien PROOF Being Kept Secret
Jeremy Corbell says UFO aren’t just real, but there is physical evidence they’ve been here.
He’s revealed countless, verified reports. And he says he has a WHOLE lot more…
It’s the age old question.. are we alone in the universe? Soon, we might get some answers.
For the first time in 50 years U.S military officials have gone before a Congress hearing, releasing once classified videos from fighter pilots’ cockpits.
One shows a fleeting image of a spherical object speeding past a military fighter jet.
It’s led to the inquiry which heard about hundreds of unexplained encounters. A Government report last year acknowledged that between 2004 and 2021 that there were 144 unexplained sightings.
Since then the number’s grown to 400.
Investigative UFO filmmaker Jeremy Corbell has obtained and released history making video, many of which have triggered the US government into action.
A crop circle found in England over the weekend mysteriously transformed into a second design the following day. The unique case began on Sunday morning when a formation (seen above) featuring a flattened circle surrounding crops that had been shaped into a hexagon was discovered at a site known as Barbury Castle in the county of Wiltshire. As is so often the case, researchers quickly set about studying the design and offering their interpretations of what it might mean, with some noting that it appeared to be the method with which Archimedes approximated pi. However, it would seem that the creator of the crop formation wasn't quite finished as the design dramatically changed overnight.
When the sun rose on Monday morning, the formation (seen below) had taken on a whole new look with the hexagon of crops at the center of the circle having been transformed into 12 'blades' comprised of four triangles each. One is left to wonder if the extremely rare two-phase design was intentional on the part of its creator or if they were forced to abandon their work and came back later to finish it. Should the second scenario be the case, their determination is admirable, since returning to the proverbial scene of the crop crime is a rather risky gambit. That said, whether they were aliens from another world or humans with boards and rope, they somehow managed to complete the formation without anyone catching them.

Vrede in de ruimte? Russische en Europese astronaut maken zeldzame gezamenlijke ruimtewandeling
Twee astronauten, een Europese en een Russische, hebben donderdag de luchtsluis van het internationale ruimtestation verlaten voor een ruimtewandeling, de eerste keer in meer dan 20 jaar dat een dergelijke gezamenlijke onderneming heeft plaatsgevonden.
Samantha Cristoforetti, een Italiaanse astronaut van het Europees Ruimteagentschap, en de Russische kosmonaut Oleg Artemyev betraden het vacuüm van de ruimte in hun witte ruimtepakken en hebben ongeveer zeven uur gewerkt aan de installatie van een 3,5 meter lange robotarm op een van de modules van het ruimtestation.
Ruimtewandelingen zijn een routine op het ISS, maar meestal gaat het om twee Amerikanen of Europeanen, een Amerikaan en een Europeaan, of twee Russen die samenwerken. De laatste keer dat een Europese astronaut en een Russische kosmonaut samen het ISS verlieten in een Orlan-ruimtepak van Russische makelij was in april 1999 volgens de NASA.
Conflict Oekraïne
De ruimtewandeling is Cristoforetti’s eerste en Artemyev’s zesde. Hun gezamenlijke onderneming komt op een moment dat de spanningen op aarde tussen Rusland en de Verenigde Staten en hun bondgenoten een hoogtepunt hebben bereikt door de oorlog in Oekraïne, hoewel NASA herhaaldelijk heeft gezegd dat het conflict geen invloed heeft gehad op de samenwerking in de ruimte.
Dit is de derde ruimtewandeling die ISS-astronauten hebben uitgevoerd om te werken aan de installatie van de Europese robotarm, die in staat zal zijn om objecten in en uit het ruimtestation te verplaatsen voor onderhoud en zelfs de buitenkant van het ruimtestation te inspecteren met behulp van ingebouwde camera’s. De arm, die de derde robotarm zal zijn die aan het ISS wordt bevestigd en de enige die in staat is om het door Rusland gecontroleerde deel van het ruimtestation te bereiken, wordt bevestigd aan de buitenkant van de nieuwe Russische ruimtestationmodule, Nauka genaamd.
De ruimtewandeling is de zesde die tot nu toe in het ISS is uitgevoerd in 2022 en de 251ste in totaal. Astronauten verlaten routinematig het station om de buitenkant te onderhouden, nieuwe hardware te installeren of wetenschappelijke experimenten uit te voeren.

Pilot snaps cockpit picture of mysterious red glow in clouds over Atlantic Ocean that some likened to a 'watergate' portal to the Upside Down in Netflix's Stranger Things
Pilot snaps cockpit picture of mysterious red glow in clouds over Atlantic Ocean that some likened to a 'watergate' portal to the Upside Down in Netflix's Stranger Things
Three eerie images photographed over the Atlantic Ocean were posted to Reddit on July 22 with a note saying the pilot who took the pictured had 'never seen anything like it'
Redditors scrambled to solve the mystery while also reveling in comparisons to an underwater portal to the hellish Upside Down in Netflix's Stanger Things
Others speculated the lights could be the end of times, or aliens
Among the more sensible theories was that the lights emanated from a fishing boat using red LED panels to attract schools of saury fish
A mysterious fiery red glow photographed by a pilot as he passed over clouds above the Atlantic Ocean have sparked comparisons with a 'watergate' - an underwater portal to the nightmarish parallel universe, the Upside Down - in Netflix's hit show Stranger Things.
The three eerie images, taken on July 22, were posted to Reddit with the hopes of unraveling the mystery and included a note saying the pilot 'says he's never seen anything like it'.
There, they spawned a frenzy of theories and comments ranging from comparisons to scenes from the latest series of Netflix's hit show Stranger Things, to others that suggested it was most likely a fishing boat using large panels of red LED lights to attract schools of saury fish.
However, without closer inspection, the cause cannot be known for certain. So far the pilot has remained anonymous and there is no indication of how low he was flying or where over the Atlantic he saw the mysterious scene.

Stranger Things: Pictured is one of three images taken by a pilot of an eerie red light through clouds above the Atlantic Ocean
The images were posted to Reddit with a note that the pilot had never seen anything like it before. Reddit commenters immediately compared the mysterious scene to the latest series of Stranger Things where an underwater portal to the nightmarish Upside Down opens under Lovers' Lake in the very unfortunate town of Hawkins. More sensible commenters said it was most likely caused by a fishing vessel using red lights to draw schools of saury fish
Saury fishing uses hundreds of massive LED lights on fishing boats' perimeters to attract fish, allowing them to be easily scooped up in nets. It is most often seen in the Pacific Ocean but the Atlantic saury is found from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Canada to Bermuda.
Although LED is the preferred option for fishing boats, due to its its higher efficiency and lower weight, the fishing boat below could be using another lighting solution like high-intensity discharge (HID). Its intense glow through the clouds suggests use of HID which would explain the volume of light escaping upwards in the photos.
Saury fish are attracted to bright, red lights. The ships, which are large, are able to lure in thousands of fish that it simply vacuums up.
When lights are placed under the water, they reflect off particles in the water. These tiny little particles enhance a natural food source for bait.
However, Redditors made the most of the opportunity to suggest theories ranging from the end of times to aliens. Among the most popular was the Stranger Things comparison where, in season four, a portal opens in Hawkins's Lovers Lake.
Don't get sucked in! Reddit commenters seized on the opportunity to compare the eerie red glow with the portal to the Upside Down (pictured above from the fourth season of the Netflix hit show Stranger Things). Others speculated it was the end of days or caused by aliens
The 'watergate' was at the bottom of Lovers Lake during the fourth season of Stranger things. The red glow of the watergate is similar to the clouds spotted by the pilot over the Atlantic Ocean
Fishing vessels similar to the one pictured uses red light panels to lure schools of saury fish. Many commenters suggested this was the likely cause of the eerie photos
One Redditor wrote: 'Dustin's trying to open up a portal to the upside down - it is literally a watergate,' referring to one of the scenes.
While another fears the red glow could mean the end of days and one Redditor shared: 'Don't worry it's just hte pits of hell staring back at you.'
It's not the first time pilots have reported strange sights. In 2014, Dutch pilot JPC van Heijst said he and his co-pilot flew over glowing clouds south of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka five hours into a 10-hour flight from Hong Kong to Anchorage, Alaska in a Boeing 747-8.
Van Heijst explained on PBase that they spotted an intense flash of light like a lightning bolt, directed vertically upwards which was followed by a deep red and orange glow 20 minutes later.
However, what caused the eerie red glow under the clouds cannot be confirmed. The pilot who snapped the images has remained anonymous
A more recent incident was captured in 2020 by another pilot who was also flying over the Pacific Ocean. The images were snapped as the plane was southeast of the Sea of Okhotsk
Redditor users also speculated that the red light was from a fleet of fishing boats
The experience left van Heijst perturbed because it was completely without explanation.
There were no thunderstorms on their route or weather radar, suggesting the lightning did not originate in a storm and the following glow was also a mystery. Similar lights have been spotted from squid-fishing-boats, but van Heijst says this 'would not make sense in this area'.
He said: 'The closer we got, the more intense the glow became, illuminating the clouds and sky below us in a scary orange glow, in a part of the world where there was supposed to be nothing but water.'
The only cause the pilots could think of was a volcano eruption under the surface of the ocean 30 minutes earlier but no ash plume followed and despite their being a few volcanoes on their route, they had had not been alerted to any new activity - although this doesn't necessarily include unseen underwater volcanoes.
A more recent incident was captured in 2020 by another pilot who was also flying over the Pacific Ocean. The images were snapped as the plane was southeast of the Sea of Okhotsk.
The three photos, also shared on Reddit, show the same glowing lights peaking out from under the clouds and a majority of the comments point to fishing boats, but possibly a feet.

Mysterious red glow spotted by pilot while flying over Atlantic Ocean
A pilot flying saw a mysterious red glow over the Atlantic. The pilot claims he has never seen anything like it.
We all see enchanting sights when flying, but some are more extraordinary than others. A pilot flying over the Atlantic has noticed one of these things, the pilot also says he’s never seen anything like it before
The pilot noticed a bright red glow before departure, which was confirmed when he looked at a photo preview on the camera's back. There was supposed to be nothing but an endless ocean for kilometers around them.
They seemed at first like a distant city or a group of classic Asian squid fishing boats, but this was not possible here. The lights they saw were noticeably bigger than the conventional lights that cities or ships would emit, which are typically yellow and white.
The brightness intensified as they approached, illuminating the sky and clouds below the airplane in a spooky red glow that one might anticipate with a sizable fire on the ground. In a region of the globe where there should only be water.
The images, taken on July 22, were posted to Reddit with the hopes of unraveling the mystery. People suggested that it could be an underwater portal others suggested that it was a fishing boat using large panels of red LED lights to attract schools of saury fish.
So far it remains a mystery what this red glow in the middle of the ocean could have been.
CGI recreation of a UFO encounter in Germany (Amazing TR-3B sighting)
CGI recreation of a UFO encounter in Germany (Amazing TR-3B sighting)
Witness report:
This encounter happened on July 25th, 2013 in Germany right at the French border. It was 10:30pm when my ex and I went outside to have a cigarette.
While we were talking, I noticed 3 oddly bright stars in the corner of my eye. I looked over my shoulder and in that moment those „stars“ quickly descended. BOOM. There it was. Completely unexpected! A pitch black triangular craft hovering completely silent about 30 feet above our heads, „looking“ at us belly first. Each side was approximately 30 feet long. Its lights were extremely bright, yet not blinding. I would describe them as „pure lights“. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
We were absolutely gobsmacked. Like deer caught in the headlights. We felt paralyzed. As if we were hypnotized or controlled. Just frozen and staring in disbelief. Everything was or seemed silent in that moment. Before, you could hear frogs and crickets. They were quite noisy. It was as if time had stopped. Oddly enough neither of us was able to say if that encounter had lasted 5, seconds, 30 seconds or 3 minutes.
Before it took off, it moved super fast from the left, upwards and to right. It was „zigzagging“. Like a ping pong ball. It was totally surreal. I did not understand what was happening. Then it shot off towards space in an instant. It was so fast, it left trails of light behind like in that Star Wars scene when they hit warp or light speed. And during all of this it didn’t make the slightest noise. Nothing! We immediately turned our heads towards each other and confirmed that we really just saw, what we saw.
We looked up again, then at each other again and without saying a word we ran inside the house, because fear and the flight instinct kicked in. However, my curiosity quickly took over and I went outside again, but the craft never returned. So yeah, that’s my story. I didn’t choose to have that sighting, but it happened. It was a blessing and a curse. A blessing, because I feel lucky to know for a fact, that the phenomenon is real. But a curse, because many people don’t believe me and choose ridicule. I got over that, though.
What’s worse is, that this incident has created a ton of questions but not many answers. I will NOT say or claim, that what we saw was ET. I simply have no way of knowing that. But what I know, is that the craft was 100% real. Needless to say, that that night has changed my life forever. I used to be the most hardcore atheist, making fun of religion. So I kind of deserved the ridicule. It didn’t make me religious though. Just a lot more open minded. I still don’t believe in a god, especially not in the biblical sense. I’d still say that aliens interdimensional theories or black budget projects seem more plausible to me than a biblical god. But I will never claim that I know anything. Since that night, I KNOW THAT I KNOW NOTHING!

Rusland trekt zich na 2024 terug uit het Internationale Ruimtestation ISS

Rusland trekt zich na 2024 terug uit het Internationale Ruimtestation ISS
De Russische ruimtevaartorganisatie Roskosmos zal over twee jaar uit de internationale samenwerking rond het Internationale Ruimtestation ISS stappen. Dat heeft de topman van Roskosmos Joeri Borissov gezegd tijdens een gesprek met de Russische president Vladimir Poetin op de televisie. Rusland is samen met de Verenigde Staten, Europa, Canada en Japan partner in het ISS.
Jos De Greef
"Wij zullen zonder twijfel al onze verplichtingen tegenover over partners nakomen, maar de beslissing is genomen om na 2024 uit het ruimtestation ISS te stappen", zo kondigde Joeri Borissov de uitstap van zijn land uit het ruimteproject aan in aanwezigheid van president Vladimir Poetin.
Eerder had Rusland er al mee gedreigd om uit het ISS-project te stappen. De eerste keer was dat begin vorig jaar en eerder dit jaar na de afkondiging van westerse sancties tegen Rusland na de invasie in Oekraïne. Volgens Moskou zijn de Russische modules van het ISS te oud en versleten en zou een herstelling te veel geld kosten. Ook zou het ISS-project in de huidige gepolitieke situatie niet houdbaar zijn, had Roskosmos eerder gezegd.
In de plaats wil Roskosmos nu volledig inzetten op het toekomstige Russische ruimtestation ROSS (Russian Orbital Service Station) dat over enkele jaren zou gelanceerd moeten worden en dat vanaf 2030 operationeel zou moeten zijn.
ISS zonder Rusland?
Naast Rusland zijn ook de Verenigde Staten, de Europese Unie, Groot-Brittannië, Canada en Japan betrokken bij het ruimtestation en sturen zijn daar regelmatig teams naartoe.
Wel zijn de Russen erg belangrijke partners wegens hun lange ervaring met dat soort ruimtestations, hun technologie en ook omdat hun Sojoez-ruimtecabines en -raketten tot de belangrijkste transportmiddelen behoren om het ISS te voorzien van mensen en voorraden. De Russische modules van het ISS staan onder meer in voor het besturen en controleren van het ISS. Die modules zijn bij de oudste onderdelen van het station en vertoonden de afgelopen jaren tekenen van slijtage. Er is uiteraard ook nog de veel gebruikte raketbasis van Baikonoer, al ligt die dan in de buurrepubliek Kazachstan.
Rusland had eerder decennia van ervaring opgebouwd met de ruimtestations Saljoet en Mir. De samenwerking met westerse landen in de ruimte werd beschouwd als een gevolg van het einde van de Koude Oorlog, maar die situatie lijkt nu terug te keren.
Oost en west samen in de ruimte
De eerste module van het ISS werd in 1998 gelanceerd en sindsdien is het ruimtestation gevoelig uitgebreid. Sinds 2000 wordt het bemand door astronauten van de deelnemende landen. Dat zijn naast Rusland, ook de Verenigde Staten, de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA (met onder meer ons land en ook Groot-Brittannië) en ook Japan en Canada zijn partnerlanden.
Het is de bedoeling om het ISS nog tot 2028 in de ruimte te houden, ook al }een nieuw station wellicht erg duur zal worden, zeker als Rusland niet meer wil meewerken. Intussen bouwt ook China geleidelijk een ruimtestation in een baan om de aarde uit.
Spaghetti? String cheese? Landing debris? The last one, probably, but whatever it is, NASA's Perseverance rover has spotted it on the surface of Mars, and the internet wants answers.
The photo of the stringy object (seen below), nestled in the sand between some unassuming Martian rocks, was taken by Perseverance on July 12, 2022, the 495th day of the rover's ongoing mission to study the red planet.
The photo can be seen below, in addition to another image taken from a different vantage point that helps convey the scale of the object as it sits directly beneath Perseverance, close to its wheels.
The Perseverance rover photo, acquired by NASA on July 12, 2022, that shows the string-like object seen on Mars. The object has prompted jokes on social media as it's still unclear what it is.

It's unclear what the object is. Close inspection shows it has the appearance of a bundle of string, which gives rise to the question of how it got there.
In any case, it wasn't long before the image captured public attention. Within just a couple of days of the object being posted online, social media users were demanding to know more. Most, of course, were cracking jokes, with many of them likening the object to a bundle of spaghetti. One could also say it looks like string cheese.
"I knew the Martians were Italian!" one user wrote.
"Knees weak, palms are sweaty, there's dust on my solar panels already, Mars spaghetti," wrote another, echoing the well-memed Eminem verse.
Meanwhile, the image of the object rose to become Perseverance's Image of the Week, which is decided via a weekly public vote.
News outlet CNET reported that the most likely explanation is that the object is a bit of debris released by Perseverance itself, possibly during its parachute-assisted landing maneuver back in February 2021.
Back in April this year, Perseverance located the parachute it used to land on Mars. Then in June, the rover also discovered a shiny piece of foil used as Perseverance's thermal blanket during its descent.
"It's a surprise finding this here," the rover's official Twitter account wrote at the time. "My descent stage crashed about 2 km (1.2 miles) away. Did this piece land here after that, or was it blown here by the wind?"
Whatever the newly-found spaghetti-like object is, what's currently lacking is an official explanation from NASA. Newsweek has contacted the space agency for comment.
Mysterious Martian images taken by Perseverance or its older robotic colleague Curiosity are often quick to garner public interest.
Earlier this year, there was much speculation about what appeared to be a doorway in a Martian rock and another image that seemed to show a humanoid shape lying down. On the latter, NASA scientist Mitch Schulte told Newsweek at the time that Mars is thought to be utterly inhospitable to life as we know it currently.
"Makes you feel like they are just keeping things from you."
That’s how Colin Scoggins describes the U.S. military’s response to a potential unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) sighting during his time with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) at Boston Air Route Traffic Control Center. Scoggins is now retired, but his recountings of various instances when he and his colleagues saw mysterious blips on their radars or heard reports of other sightings are timelessly intriguing.
Scoggins began his career with the U.S. Air Force, working on fighter jets like the F-4 Phantom as a crew chief. Once he got out, he started school at West Virginia University and slung drinks part-time at a local bar to pay the bills. It was at this establishment that he happened to meet three air traffic controllers (ATC) who were working the tower at Morgantown Municipal Airport in the spring of 1981.

“They were joking about going on strike in June, and I was almost thinking about going back into service,” Scoggins told The War Zone. “And they said, ‘No, you should become a controller.’ So, I actually took the test back then, and then they ended up going on strike in August and I had already moved back up to the northeast and I called over to the regional and told them that I was interested in, you know, becoming a controller.”
Unfortunately, he was told that the test he had already taken was out of date and that he'd need to take the new one. Upon passing the updated exam, Scoggins found out it could be about a year until he learned whether or not he had gotten the gig. Young, in a relationship, recently accepted into Northeastern University, and in need of reliable income, Scoggins once again considered going back into the Air Force. That was until just a couple of days after Christmas when a request for an interview turned up in the mail. In 1982, Scoggins started training for his position with the FAA.

Once officially hired, he worked the airspace in northern Maine until a powerlifting accident resulted in a shoulder injury that required Scoggins to take medication for an extended period of time. Because of that, he was taken off the floor and moved to the aerospace office where he would work throughout his healing process. After working in this role and serving a bit more time on the floor, Boston Center’s military liaison was removed from his position in 1995, and Scoggins was asked to work both the military and civilian airspace sides of his department in the interim. Then in about 2005, he was relieved from his controller position and became Boston Center’s military specialist until he retired in 2016.
With over three decades of experience working for both the military and the FAA, Scoggins isn’t short on stories. Retellings ranging from some of the first RQ-4 landings to his hand in the tragic United 93 flight are just a couple of the career-defining moments that Scoggins could share, but his experience with strange things that occurred in or near the nation's airspace is nonetheless notable. While some were either quickly or gradually debunked, the happenings still act as unique insight into how the FAA and the military handled UAP sightings, especially prior to 9/11.

In terms of UAP protocol, Scoggins explained that his department had a relatively standard requirement to report anything they had seen or received accounts of to the team's supervisor who would then pass it along to the operational manager. He said it was also procedure to report it to the military, and for Scoggins, that meant contacting the Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS).
"Understand most controllers are a certain personality," Scoggins said. "Normally we are controlling individuals. We like to control pretty much everything and none of us have any patience. I still don’t have any patience today after being retired for six years."
Sometimes, though, Scoggins said that a particularly busy day would only warrant an acknowledgment of a possible incident before time constraints would require that the team moved on. Others would lead to dedicated investigations.
"As far as how most controllers feel if they are real, I think most think they are," Scoggins said. "And whether they believe they are not from our world, I am sure there are a few. I would think most believe they are probably from our world and probably our own government."
He added that there was a small percentage of conspiracy theorists among the ATCs, just as there are in the general public, who will believe what they want to believe. Although, he doesn't recall ever being told not to report his findings, nor did he think that any controller felt as though their job was in jeopardy if they did.
"I had three instances I can think of,” Scoggins said. “One of them was definitely a meteor smashing into the ocean. One pilot saw it and thought it was a UFO. Another guy that was flying at a 90-degree angle from him saw it and said, 'No, it's definitely a meteor that went right to the ocean.' So we could write that one off."
Meteors are often mistaken by onlookers as UAPs or UFOs. The chunks of cosmic rock both big and small hurtle through space all the time, sometimes entering the Earth’s atmosphere and emanating a fiery glow as they burn up. This can also cause the meteor to break apart, eventually becoming multiple pieces so tiny in size that it essentially vanishes into thin air. These characteristics could lead many to believe they had just seen a UFO despite it being a common celestial occurrence.

"Another one was at dusk or dawn,” Scoggins said. “We had a Boeing 747 pilot swear that one of the passengers seated in the back said that they saw rockets fired at their plane. Back then we used to have air traffic assistants for tracking systems and they were usually ex-pilots. This guy was an ex-Boeing 747 right seater and he says, 'You know what my guess is? Was it in a turn?' And I told him, yeah, and he goes, 'At dusk or dawn the light can shoot out the window across the wing, and then when they straighten the wing back up the light comes back at you.'”
Because such an optical illusion could convince someone with an untrained eye that a rocket was being fired at their plane, Scoggins was the first to admit that the air traffic assistant's guess was totally viable. But he made sure to take into consideration the specific airspace that the 747 was flying in at the time.
“That pilot was near warning area 102, which was sometimes used for live fire, but normally it was not,” Scoggins added. “We also didn’t have any military activity going on in warning area 102 at the time, so it couldn’t have been a rocket fired at them because we had nobody up there."

According to GlobalSecurity, warning area 102 is a part of the Boston Area Complex in the waters adjacent to the coasts of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and New York. The overall military operating area also includes warning areas 103 and 104, Small Point Mining Range, and submarine transit lanes. In terms of military activity that is carried out in this area, beyond aerial training, those operations could include surface-to-air gunnery, anti-submarine warfare tactics, and both surface and subsurface exercises.
Scoggins used this knowledge to help him determine whether a rocket or missile had actually been fired not only at the aforementioned 747 but at the tragic Trans World Airlines flight 800 (TWA 800) that crashed during the middle stretch of his career, as well. Before the reasoning behind the TWA 800’s explosion was ultimately reached, there were claims that a missile had been fired at the airliner.

"Now it wasn’t but a couple of years later when TWA 800 went down, and I spent two years working on that,” Scoggins said. “I had to look for any military activity that was going on at the time and possibly could have shot a rocket, and we had a C-130 out there at the time in warning area 105, but they wouldn’t have been firing any rockets.”
After a four-year National Transportation Safety Board investigation, Scoggins’ work paired with the help of all other experts and departments that were involved later determined that TWA 800’s disastrous mid-air explosion was caused by flammable fuel vapors in the center fuel tank likely from a short circuit. The incident killed all 230 people on board. But that wasn’t the last of Scoggins’ encounters with strange events in the airspace around and off of America’s east coast.

"The only other one we did have was a high-moving aircraft at 49,000 feet on a straight line passing over New York City doing about 900 knots,” Scoggins said. “We brought it up to the military three or four times and they just kept saying, 'Nope, we don’t see anything.' And I think it was definitely a [real radar] target. So my guess is that the military knew who it was, and they weren’t going to tell us."
Scoggins is confident in this assertion because, before 9/11, he said that the military shared the same radars that Boston Center used on the coast. He explained that if he was using the radar located in Riverhead out of Long Island, so was the military. If he was using Bucks Harbor radar up in Maine, the military was looking at the exact same thing.

He even added that the military actually owned those sites and often adjusted them and did work on them. For some perspective, he went on to mention that his department also had a site out in Skowhegan, Maine which was called an Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System and those were non-military and didn’t look for raw radar returns. However, Bucks Harbor and Riverhead did have the raw, primary radar that the military actually used, so Scoggins was sure that the Pentagon was looking at the exact same information but insisted that they hadn’t seen anything.
"The military has a lot of stuff,” Scoggins said. “I’m not really a believer of actual UFOs, but I’m a firm believer that if the SR-71 was made in the 1960s, I’m sure we have a lot better crap out there now. Who knows what we really have, but I know there are other controllers out there that have seen a lot more.”
Thank you to Colin Scoggins for taking the time to recount his experiences with the FAA for this piece.
Jen Sullivan is the author of Child of the Universe, a book where she describes her memories of several past lives that were connected to the origins of Atlantis and Lemuria (Lymuria), and their respective destruction. Jen was suffering from a brain tumor when she was asked by her long time friend, Sarah Breskman Cosme, to participate in Quantum Hypnosis Healing Technique (QHHT) sessions to complete Sarah’s level 3 certification with Delores Cannon’s QHHT program.
After Jen recalled details of her most recent past life where she jumped off a bridge to her death in 1978 after going through a lobotomy as a result of nobody believing her past life recollections at the time, she experienced a remarkable healing. As the QHHT sessions continued, Jen remembered her first past life on Earth as a male when she was part of an extraterrestrial mission that crash landed in a large south Pacific island. She remembers being ultimately successful in creating a hybrid being using the genetics of a primitive local female and her DNA. The hybrid that was born became revered for her wisdom and ability to use red crystals that were retrieved from the spacecraft , and became the first Queen of Lemuria. Her name was Oona.
One of Jen’s companions on the crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft traveled through a space time portal to the other side of the planet taking with him some of the red crystals. He was involved in creating a hybrid being that was among the first Atlanteans who gained control over the local population. Ultimately, the Atlanteans followed a path of rapid technological development where the red crystals were used for weapons development and imperial conquest. In contrast the Lemurians lived a more peaceful life in harmony with nature where the red crystals were used to sustain a natural immunity to all disease, and considerably extended their life spans.
In her book, Jen describes the circumstances surrounding the Atlanteans visiting and ultimately destroying Lemuria. In that incarnation, Jen was a princess (Kala) who briefly reigned after her mother, the Queen was killed by the Atlanteans. Shortly after her coronation, Lemuria was destroyed by tidal waves created by undersea detonations caused by the Altanteans, and she was captured. Jen remembered being taken to Atlantis where she was tortured and interrogated for many decades over her knowledge and abilities concerning the red crystals.
In her first interview on Exopolitics Today, Jen describes why she chose to undergo the QHHT sessions with Sarah Cosme, the healing she experienced, and the details of her remarkable past lives as an extraterrestrial and the last Queen of Lemuria/Lymuria. Her memories of captivity in Atlantis over many decades gives a unique perspective on Atlantean culture, politics and science.
During the interview, I encountered an unusual amount of electrical interference, which culminated in all the power in my home going off for a short period. My computer then experienced strange pulses which can be witnessed in the interview after the interruption around the (30 minutes mark). Jen explains how such electrical interference has happened often in her sessions with Sarah Breskman Cosme.
