Dozens of UFOs show up at Space Station, NASA cuts off screen, 7-22-2022 UFO Sighting News.
I got this email report today from a researcher who caught several glowing objects moving past the space station. Some of the objects even turn to join others. Very cool, very amazing and 100% proof that intelligent aliens exist. What more can you ask for? These are disks, the classic types with the humps in the middle. The hump is facing the spaces station because the pilots want to see the ISS up close and personal with their own eyes.
Drone caught ghostly high speed UFO over Milton Keynes, UK
Drone caught ghostly high speed UFO over Milton Keynes, UK
Since the widespread proliferation of camera drones in the mid-2010s many fast moving objects of bright white color have been recorded flying in earth's airspace at low altitude.
Their traveling speed seems to range from a few hundred km/h to several times the speed of sound.
The video analyzed by GoFastUFO reveals some further properties of WFMs (White Fast Movers - also called: UFO Fast Walkers): they often travel fast at a constant altitude, they are not or only weakly affected by gravitational forces, they often fly along a linear trajectory or a curve with a very large radius, they do not crash into obstacles.
In most cases of the here presented WFM footage the data reliably shows that they cannot be birds, insects or common technical devices such as model airplanes.

Huge flashing UFO over Peoria, Arizona 16-Jun-2022
This huge UFO was seen and recorded in the sky above Peoria, Arizona on 16th June 2022.
Witness report:
I noticed it whenever I was getting into my car and I went back in and got my phone and I video taped it and it was approximately 3 mi away I’d say 3,000 ft high and it was just a right above a treetop from neighbor down the street I could see it very well and I videotaped it twice it’s been there twice and I’ve also seen one that was outside of spring valley California on it was November 2004 was 5 round orbs silver and I’ve seen a few others also and I am very critical of what I’m seeing so I make sure that I know what I’m saying and that’s why I videotape what I can but five orbs they weren’t there for long I was getting gas looked up saw them and I went to grab my camera which I keep in my car and by the time I turn back around I was trying to send her in and try to get a video or a photo and they just zip straight up and disappeared faster than anything I’ve ever seen
A Supermassive Black Hole Is Heading Earth’s Way At 110 Km Per Second
A Supermassive Black Hole Is Heading Earth’s Way At 110 Km Per Second
There is a massive black hole with millions of times more mass than our sun is plunging towards Earth and will one day annihilate life as we know it. This particular black hole is coming towards us at 110 kilometers per second and is at the center of the Great Andromeda Galaxy – the Milky Way’s closest and much larger neighbor.
At the center of the most known galaxies, there exist a supermassive black hole which stars spin around and helps keep everything in formation. But such is the powerful gravitational pull of the Milky Way and Andromeda that they are being drawn toward each other and will one day crash.
“There’s a black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. And not just any black hole, it’s a supermassive black hole with more than 4.1 million times the mass of the Sun. It’s right over there, in the direction of the Sagittarius constellation. Located just 26,000 light-years away. And as we speak, it’s in the process of tearing apart entire stars and star systems, occasionally consuming them, adding to its mass like a voracious shark.”
Due to the size of Andromeda however, there is only going to be one winner when it smashes into the Milky Way.
But, as Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away, it will take over four billion years to reach us, so we are safe for now.
Mr Cain said: “Panic will happen when the Milky Way collides with Andromeda in about 4 billion years. “Suddenly, you’ll have two whole clouds of stars interacting in all kinds of ways, like an unstable blended family. “Stars that would have been safe will careen past other stars and be deflected down into the maw of either of the two supermassive black holes on hand. Andromeda’s black hole could be 100 million times the mass of the Sun, so it’s a bigger target for stars with a death wish.”

Over the past few decades, several insiders have boldly accepted the existence of UFOs and hinted at the phenomenon being around us all the time, and that our reductive senses are limiting our ability to perceive it. The discussion on Alien-UFO theory has already become a hot topic in the mainstream media. The governments of powerful nations have started considering investigating the issue with full throttle. In the midst of it, experts from various technical and entertainment fields began a worldwide surge with their controversial statements on extraterrestrials.
Robert Bigelow
According to American billionaire Robert Bigelow, famous in the aerospace industry for the manufacture of inflatable modules such as those tested out at the International Space Station, there are extraterrestrial beings living among humans. He has said that he is ‘absolutely convinced’ aliens are living among humans on Earth.
During a 2017 interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, reporter Lara Logan asked Bigelow if he believes in aliens. He replied: “I’m absolutely convinced. That’s all there is to it.” He further said: “There has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence. And I spent millions and millions and millions — I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject.
Lara Logan: Do you imagine that in our space travels we will encounter other forms of intelligent life?
Robert Bigelow: You don’t have to go anywhere.
Lara Logan: You can find it here? Where exactly?
Robert Bigelow: It’s just like right under people’s noses. Oh my gosh. Wow.
The FAA confirmed to us that for years, it referred reports of UFOs and other unexplained phenomena to a company Bigelow owns. He told us he’s had his own close encounters, but declined to go into detail.”
Dr. Gary Nolan, a Stanford microbiologist spent the last ten years working with a number of individuals analyzing materials from the alleged UFO Phenomenon. In his interview with Jesse Michels, Dr. Nolan explains how our brains were specifically constructed to entangle with the quantum fields of the universe. He said:
“I mean it’s so far different from us that it’s doing its best to talk to us in ways that it can do. They’re either from another planet in this galaxy or elsewhere. Underground or nearby, or whatever. They just show up to look at us because they’re basically, maybe looking at their past, or they’re interdimensional, or they’re from another level of reality that we don’t understand…
…When your mind expands to a certain point, in terms of what you might consider reality to be, other entities live there.”
Since 2016, Garry has been in possession of and analyzing materials given to him by some of the top “Ufologists” in the country like Jacque Vallee. He’s also consulted for the CIA in studying the brain structures of people who claim UFO encounters. (Click here to read the full article
Jacques Vallee
In the 60 years of UFO sightings, very little research has been conducted to discuss the nature of this phenomenon scientifically. When others called the UFO encounters a hoax, Dr. Jacques Vallée took a stand and provided a convincible explanation for them. In his research paper: “TOWARDS MULTI-DISCIPLINARY SETI RESEARCH,” co-authored with Garry Nolan, Vallée explains the phenomenon being in a comprehensive way.
“Because it is hard to imagine all possible life forms, and given the short time that life and consciousness have been scientifically studied (less than one century), it would be prudent not to rule out possibilities that may appear unfashionable. Life may thrive underground and in space, near and far from planets and stars, and under conditions we may now consider prohibitive (13). With the newly essential understandings of quantum physics and quantum information, are “biological brains” the only place consciousness could have evolved?
To this point, new models for the evolution of consciousness and matter are under study that suggest novel possibilities to interpret the nature of reality and which are at odds with a materialistic worldview. This includes the possibility of other forms of communication or contact with alien intelligences that are considered “science fiction” by mainstream science, yet have an extraordinary history of anecdotal evidence. We are speaking of everything from telepathy, empathy, remote viewing, and out of body experiences that may be pointing towards channels of communications beyond what electromagnetic waves can reveal.
Before dismissing such ideas, we need keep in mind that all sensory apparatus our consciousness employs to interpret our immediate universe relies upon electromagnetic waves which propagate as quantum fields. Our sensory apparatus operates in that quantum reality. We perceive quantum information and construct our internal “animal” view of reality—but are we perceiving all information fields enfolding us? Are we consciously aware of everything we are perceiving? Animals, and now humans, are recently understood to perceive magnetic fields. The proteins in our brain that form our neurons sit in a quantum mix where information is transferred in still unfathomable manners. Are those proteins and biologicals completely blind to all forms of information passing through them?”
Also, the list of insiders includes former veteran CIA officer Jim Semivan & ex-Pentagon UFO official, Luis Elizondo who shared similar views on the phenomenon. (Click here to read the full article.)
These examples add some relevance to the subject that there could be a whole new reality out there that the human brain is unable to see. The idea of intelligent life has never been dismissed by scientists and taking it one step further, physicist Stephen Hawking said that they could even destroy us. He spoke publicly about his fears that an advanced alien civilization would have no problem wiping out the human race the way a human might wipe out a colony of ants. Is it possible that there is another civilization living among us?
This is the first instance when stem cells have been used to make advanced-stage embryos
The researchers have developed a special type of incubator that made this possible
The technology could one day help provide cells, tissues, or even organs for transplantation.
In a major breakthrough, scientists in Israel have made mouse embryos without using sperm or egg cells but only stem cells taken from the skin, The Times of Israel has reported. These embryos have beating hearts as well as brain structures.
The discovery of stem cells and their ability to take the form of any cell type in the body has opened many doors in the field of medicine. From curing baldness to curing HIV, stem cells can be used everywhere.
However, sourcing stem cells has raised major ethical concerns. Found abundantly in the embryonic stages of cell growth, harvesting these cells requires the embryo to be destroyed before it is implanted in the female womb. So, researchers have been looking for an alternative way to source them and have even been successful in their search.
Making stem cells more "naive"
Studies have shown that stem cells are also present in small numbers in organs like the skin, which constantly undergoes renewal throughout our life. The process requires cells of different types, and that's where the multi-potency of stem cells comes in handy.
Jacob Hanna, a professor at the Molecular Genetics Department at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, however, developed a method that would take back such stem cells to a previous step, where they are more "naive". In a previous study, Hanna and his team demonstrated that their technology could make human stem cells so "naive" that they could even be injected into mice, where they would function as if they were mice's own.
In separate work, Hanna's team also developed a special incubator that has all the necessary conditions for the growth of an embryo. In 2021, a group of researchers grew 250 mouse embryos into fetuses with fully formed organs inside this artificial womb. What Hanna and his team wanted to know was if the incubator could also grow embryos that were sourced from stem cells.
Embryos from stem cells
The researchers then used naive stem cells that had been cultured for years in a petri dish in the lab. Before placing them into the special incubator, these cells were divided into three groups. While one was left untreated to grow into embryonic stem cells, the other two were pretreated for a period of 48 hours to express genes that were master regulators of either the placenta or yolk sac.
The cells were once again mixed together in the incubator and allowed to grow. While most failed to develop properly, 0.5 percent, or 50 of 10,000 cells, went on to become spheres, which then took the elongated form of embryos.
The researchers had labeled each group of cells differently, so they could the growth of the placenta and yolk sac outside the embryo. At day 8.5, nearly half of the normal gestation of 20 days in mice, these embryos displayed early organs such as the beating heart, blood stem cell circulation, a brain with well-shaped folds, a neural tube,, and an intestinal tract, a university press release said.
This is the first instance of a research group using stem cells to make advanced embryos, Hanna told the Times of Israel. "Our next challenge is to understand how stem cells know what to do – how they self-assemble into organs and find their way to their assigned spots inside an embryo."
Apart from helping reduce the use of animals in stem cell research, the techniques developed in his lab could one day also help become a reliable source of cells, tissues, and organs for transplantation.
The findings of the study were published in the journal Cell.
Abstract
In vitro cultured stem cells with distinct developmental capacities can contribute to embryonic or extra-embryonic tissues after microinjection into pre-implantation mammalian embryos. However, whether cultured stem cells can independently give rise to entire gastrulating embryo-like structures with embryonic and extra-embryonic compartments, remains unknown. Here we adapt a recently established platform for prolonged ex utero growth of natural embryos, to generate mouse post-gastrulation synthetic whole embryo models (sEmbryos), with both embryonic and extra-embryonic compartments, starting solely from naïve ESCs. This was achieved by co-aggregating non-transduced ESCs, with naïve ESCs transiently expressing Cdx2- and Gata4- to promote their priming towards trophectoderm and primitive endoderm lineages, respectively. sEmbryos adequately accomplish gastrulation, advance through key developmental milestones, and develop organ progenitors within complex extra-embryonic compartments similar to E8.5 stage mouse embryos. Our findings highlight the plastic potential of naïve pluripotent cells to self-organize and functionally reconstitute and model the entire mammalian embryo beyond gastrulation.
Geen eicel of sperma meer nodig: wetenschappers maken voor het eerst “synthetische embryo's”
Onderzoekers hebben ‘s werelds eerste “synthetische embryo’s” gemaakt. Dit is een baanbrekende prestatie die de noodzaak van sperma, eicellen en bevruchting omzeilt. Wetenschappers van het Weizmann-instituut in Israël ontdekten dat stamcellen van muizen zichzelf konden samenstellen tot vroege embryo-achtige structuren met een darmkanaal, het begin van een brein en een kloppend hart.
De levende structuren, die synthetische embryo’s worden genoemd omdat ze zonder bevruchte eicellen tot stand komen, zullen naar verwachting op korte termijn leiden tot een beter begrip van de wijze waarop organen en weefsels zich tijdens de ontwikkeling van natuurlijke embryo’s vormen.
Maar de onderzoekers denken dat het werk ook het aantal dierproeven kan verminderen en uiteindelijk de weg kan banen voor nieuwe bronnen van cellen en weefsels voor transplantatie bij de mens. Zo zouden bijvoorbeeld huidcellen van een leukemiepatiënt kunnen worden omgevormd tot beenmergstamcellen om hun aandoening te behandelen.
Mechanische baarmoeder
“Opmerkelijk is dat we aantonen dat embryonale stamcellen hele synthetische embryo’s genereren, dat wil zeggen inclusief de placenta en de dooierzak die het embryo omringen,” zei prof. Jacob Hanna, die het werk leidde. “We zijn echt enthousiast over dit werk en de implicaties ervan.”
Vorig jaar beschreef hetzelfde team hoe ze een mechanische baarmoeder hadden gebouwd die natuurlijke muizenembryo’s in staat stelde om meerdere dagen buiten de baarmoeder te groeien. In het laatste werk werd hetzelfde apparaat gebruikt om stamcellen van muizen gedurende meer dan een week te koesteren, bijna de helft van de draagtijd van een muis.
Sommige cellen werden voorbehandeld met chemicaliën, waardoor genetische programma’s werden aangezet om zich te ontwikkelen tot placenta of dooierzak, terwijl andere zich zonder interventie ontwikkelden tot organen en andere weefsels.
Functionele organen
De meeste stamcellen slaagden er niet in embryonale structuren te vormen, maar ongeveer 0,5% groeide uit tot kleine bolletjes die afzonderlijke weefsels en organen aanmaakten. In vergelijking met natuurlijke muizenembryo’s waren de synthetische embryo’s voor 95% gelijk wat betreft hun inwendige structuur en de genetische profielen van de cellen. Voor zover de wetenschappers konden vaststellen, waren de gevormde organen functioneel.
Hanna zei dat synthetische embryo’s geen “echte” embryo’s waren en niet het potentieel hadden om zich tot levende dieren te ontwikkelen, of toch niet toen ze in de baarmoeder van vrouwelijke muizen werden getransplanteerd. Hij heeft een bedrijf opgericht, Renewal Bio genaamd, dat zich ten doel stelt menselijke synthetische embryo’s te kweken om weefsels en cellen te leveren voor medische aandoeningen.
Ethische goedkeuring
“In Israël en veel andere landen, zoals de VS en het VK, is het legaal en hebben we ethische goedkeuring om dit te doen met door mensen geïnduceerde pluripotente stamcellen. Dit biedt een ethisch en technisch alternatief voor het gebruik van embryo’s,” zei Hanna.
Doctor James Briscoe, hoofdgroepleider aan het Francis Crick Institute in Londen, die niet bij het onderzoek betrokken was, zei dat het belangrijk was te bespreken hoe het werk het best kon worden gereguleerd voordat menselijke synthetische embryo’s werden ontwikkeld. Synthetische menselijke embryo’s zijn geen onmiddellijk vooruitzicht. We weten minder over menselijke embryo’s dan over muizenembryo’s en de inefficiëntie van de synthetische muizenembryo’s suggereert dat het vertalen van de bevindingen naar de mens verdere ontwikkeling vereist,” zei Briscoe.
Grijs gebied
Maar, voegde hij eraan toe: “Nu is het een goed moment om na te denken over het beste wettelijke en ethische kader om het onderzoek en het gebruik van menselijke synthetische embryo’s te reguleren en om de huidige regelgeving bij te werken.”
Tegen StatNews zei professor Paul Tesar, een geneticus aan de Case Western Reserve University, dat hoe meer wetenschappers deze techniek verder ontwikkelen, hoe meer de synthetische en natuurlijke embryo’s beginnen samen te smelten. “Er zal altijd een grijs gebied zijn,” zei hij. “Maar als wetenschappers en als samenleving moeten we samen beslissen waar de grens ligt en definiëren wat ethisch aanvaardbaar is.”
The Chinese military conducted live-fire exercises Saturday off its coast opposite Taiwan amid reports that US Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in the air on her way to the region.
The powder keg situation comes as China indicated it may shoot Pelosi's plane down if she attempts to land on the disputed island democracy, which Beijing claims as part of its territory.
Pelosi is thought to have set off late on Friday for her upcoming Asian tour, which may or may not include a visit to Taiwan, something that Beijing warned the US would 'bear all consequences' for.
If it goes ahead, it could precipitate the largest crisis in the Straits of Taiwan for almost 40 years.
Beijing has reacted furiously to the prospective visit of the third ranking official in the US government to Taiwan. Chinese leader Xi Jinping warned President Joe Biden on Thursday that 'those who play with fire will perish by it.'
'It is hoped that the US will be clear-eyed about this.'
The People's Liberation Army was conducting 'live-fire exercises' near the Pingtan islands off Fujian province, the official Xinhua News Agency announced. The Maritime Safety Administration warned ships to avoid the area.
US Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reported to be in the air on her way to the Asia-Pacifc region for the start of Japan, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia in August amid threats by China to shoot her down if she visits the island of Taiwan
Two vessels identified as a Chinese Type 052D destroyer and a Type 054A frigate were seen 27km and 23km away from the Taiwan Strait. Both are armed with surface-to-air missiles (file photos)
Xi warned Biden on the call, according to Chinese state media: 'Those who play with fire will only get burnt. Hope the US side can see this clearly'
President Joe Biden posted an image to his Twitter from a two-hour call Thursday morning with Chinese President Xi Jinping – the fifth between the two since Biden took office
Such exercises usually involve artillery. The one-sentence announcement gave no indication whether Saturday's exercise also might include missiles, fighter planes or other weapons.
Two other vessels - identified by Vietnam-based maritime observer Duan Dang as a Chinese Type 052D destroyer and a Type 054A frigate - were seen 27km and 23km away from the Taiwan Strait. Both are armed with surface-to-air missiles.
Meanwhile the Chinese navy was conducting military exercises off its southern coast near Guangdong, following exercises in nearby Hainan province.
It is all seen as a show of force to dissuade Pelosi from visiting the island. As the leader of the co-equal legislative branch of the US government, Joe Biden has no authority to order her to abandon the visit.
Biden said last week the Pentagon thought a Taiwan trip was 'not a good idea.'
'Well, I think that the military thinks it's not a good idea right now,' Biden said in response to a question about Pelosi's reported trip. 'But I don't know what the status of it is.'
China has been ratcheting up the rhetoric as the crisis reaches boiling point, with the Chinese state-affiliated Global Times crowing, 'don't say we didn't warn you!'
It is a phrase that China apparently used before fighting both India in 1962 and Vietnam in 1979.
And a commentator with Beijing mouthpiece the Global Times, Hu Xijn, called US fighter jets escorting Pelosi's plane into Taiwan an 'invasion'.
'The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi's plane and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction. If ineffective, then shoot them down,' he wrote on Twitter.
The visit, which a member of the House foreign affairs committee seemed to have confirmed will go ahead, will be the first visit by such a high-ranking American elected official in 25 years.
Pictured: Taiwanese navy launches a US-made Standard missile from a frigate during the annual Han Kuang Drill, on the sea near the Suao navy harbor in Yilan county on July 2
China says Taiwan has no right to conduct foreign relations. It sees visits by American officials as encouragement for the island to make its decades-old de facto independence official.
The PLA has flown growing numbers of fighter planes and bombers near Taiwan and has in the past fired missiles into shipping lanes to the island.
In a Thursday phone call between the leaders of the two superpowers, the Chinese premier said he firmly opposes Taiwan independence and the interference of external forces.
Biden expressed the US stance on the issue has not changed, according to a read out of the meeting.
'On Taiwan, President Biden underscored that the United States policy has not changed and that the United States strongly opposes unilateral efforts to change the status quo or undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,' the readout states.
'If she goes, there will definitely be a Taiwan Strait crisis, and it will definitely exceed the last one in 1995-1996,' Wu Xinbo, director of the Center for American Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai, told the Financial Times.
'That is because China's military capabilities by far exceed those of 26 years ago.'
Even so, most analysts believe China would be keen to avoid open military conflict with the US, which has military bases dotted around the region and the USS Ronald Reagan carrier group in the South China Sea.
In spite of this reticence, the PLA has flown growing numbers of fighter planes and bombers near Taiwan and has in the past fired missiles into shipping lanes to the island.
Taiwan and China split in 1949 after a civil war that ended with a communist victory on the mainland.
The two governments say they are one country but disagree over which is entitled to national leadership. They have no official relations but are linked by billions of dollars in trade and investment.
The next 12-24 hours China will start military drills around Taiwan with live rounds, World News.
The next 12-24 hours China will start military drills around Taiwan with live rounds, World News.
Me being a USAF vet I can't help be a little irritated that China is going to do this. Because Nancy Pelosi visited for about 24 hours, China announced punishment military drills with live rounds will take place. Well, she left a few hours ago and I expect I may be woken by Chinese or Taiwan military jets overhead again. Over the years, Chinese bombers armed with nukes have flown over us, daily Chinese fighter jets have come into Taiwan airspace, sometimes over cities, but Taiwan gov denies that. Also every time a Chinese jet shoots down a Taiwan jet, Taiwan gov announces it was pilot error, even though a pilot came out and said he was shot down by a fighter jet on Taiwan TV news...the gov retracted his statement. Taiwan tries to keep low key, but the time has come. Tomorrow is going to be bad.
I will post updates to whats taking place. If I see dog fighting in the skies I will post video and keep you up to date.
Everyone is a bit stressed out. Worried, that this may be the big one...where China takes over Taiwan. I hope Pelosi meant what she said about the US supporting us, otherwise, we are lost tomorrow. Taiwan cannot stand alone, and everyone here knows that too.
Mysterious metallic orb containing a secret code inside falls on Veracruz, Mexico
Mysterious metallic orb containing a secret code inside falls on Veracruz, Mexico
Luna, a prominent meteorologist, says that an unknown metallic orb with a secret code and maybe containing “valuable information inside” fell from the sky onto a tree in Veracruz, Mexico just before midnight Sunday night (July 31, 2022.- 23:50 pm.).
People who saw it falling from the sky said that the orb emitted a sound but there was no fire. (A CCTV footage shows the orb moving through the sky before falling down - See video below.)
Luna, who posted several pages on this event on his Facebook account, suggests that it appears to be made of a very hard plastic or an alloy of various metals and apparently it has an antenna.
Small holes are observed which are a kind of undecipherable codes, but no hole or slit through which it could be opened. This orb has a timing mechanism that, at a certain time, it will open on its own, showing the valuable information inside, Luna said.
It is reported that early morning (03.15 am.) this Monday August 1, 2022 (which is just 3 and a half hours after the impact) a highly trained team of the secretary of the Navy of Mexico and/or the secretary of National Defense arrived on the spot with specialized equipment, encapsulating the orb with all precaution measures and protocols and transported the orb to an unknown destination beyond the borders of Mexico.
Some people suggest that the orb is part of the Chinese rocket that fell to earth on July 30, 2022 but that seems impossible as the re-entry of the rocket was one day before the Mexico event as well as most of the rocket debris has fallen into the ocean close to Malaysia, even rocket debris have been found in Kalimantan, Indonesia and in Sarawak, Malaysia.
It is clear that something has fallen from the sky in Mexico that the authorities want to keep secret.
The public will never hear about this mysterious orb again.

The levitating lights, described as orange in hue and in a definitive pattern, baffled observers who were left unconvinced that they were of natural origins — some others even suspected unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or alien origins, but the U.S. Coast Guard said they were actually from flares fired from a ship off the coast, KABC reported.
The puzzling pixels were reportedly from naval crews conducting flare training with expired flares, the Coast Guard said, per KGTV.
The lights were also reportedly seen in nearby Tijuana.
A witness told KGTV that she saw planes in the sky and boats in the water. She said the strange lights were brighter than the lights on the planes and those on the boat.
The witness, Natasha Reichart, also said the lights were definitively moving.
"These were coming back and going, moving different directions, and all of a sudden coming as a cluster together," Reichart told the outlet. "It was definitely not of this world."
Many people similarly online claimed to see the lights move or change formation
"Multiple floating lights over the ocean. Very still, very bright. Orange, reddish light. Patterns of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6," the user wrote.
Despite an official explanation, some people are still speculating the lights were not flares.
The universe keeps dying and being reborn, claims Nobel Prize winner
The universe keeps dying and being reborn, claims Nobel Prize winner
Sir Roger Penrose claims our universe has been through multiple Big Bangs, with more coming. Sir Roger Penrose, a mathematician and physicist from the University of Oxford who has just shared this year's Nobel Prize in physics, claims our universe has gone through multiple Big Bangs, with another one coming in our future.
Updated version of the previous article.
Penrose received the Nobel for his working out mathematical methods that proved and expanded Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, and for his discoveries on black holes, which showed how objects that become too dense undergo gravitational collapse into singularities – points of infinite mass.
As he accepted the Prize, Penrose reiterated his belief in what he called "a crazy theory of mine" that the universe will expand until all matter will ultimately decay. And then a new Big Bang will bring a new universe into existence.
"The Big Bang was not the beginning," Penrose said in an interview with The Telegraph. "There was something before the Big Bang and that something is what we will have in our future. "What proof does the physicist have for this theory he dubbed "conformal cyclic cosmology" (CCC) that goes against the current Big Bang dogma?
He said he discovered six "warm" sky points (called "Hawking Points") which are all about eight times larger than the diameter of the Moon. The late Professor Stephen Hawking, whose name they bear, proposed that black holes "leak" radiation and would eventually evaporate. As this might take longer than the age of the universe we are currently inhabiting (13.77 billion years old), spotting such holes is very unlikely.
Penrose (89), who collaborated with Hawking, thinks that we are, in fact, able to observe "dead" black holes left by previous universes or "aeons". If proven correct, this would also validate Hawking's theories.
The physicist's 2020 paper, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, offers evidence of "anomalous circular spots" in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) that have raised temperatures. The data revealing the spots came from Planck 70 GHz satellite and was confirmed by up to 10,000 simulations. Penrose's 2018 paper pinpointed radiation hot spots in the CMB as possibly being produced by evaporating black holes.
A 2010 paper by Penrose and Vahe Gurzadyan from the Yerevan Physics Institute in Armenia found support for cyclic cosmology in the uniform temperature rings within the CMB. The scientists proposed then that the rings were caused by signatures of gravitational waves from colliding black holes in a universe that preceded ours.
These ideas are controversial within the cosmologist community, with some pointing to the difficulty of conforming an infinitely big universe in one aeon to a super-small one in the next. This would necessitate making all particles lose mass as the universe gets old.
Check out Penrose's most recent paper, titled "Apparent evidence for Hawking points in the CMB Sky" here.
With global temperatures continuing to rise, a new study has warned that we are inching dangerously close to a 'climate endgame'.
Researchers from theUniversity of Cambridge claim that global heating could trigger nuclear war, financial crisis or an extinction-level pandemic as soon as 2070.
Based on their findings, the researchers are calling for authorities to start preparing for such events.
'There are plenty of reasons to believe climate change could become catastrophic, even at modest levels of warming,' said Dr Luke Kemp, lead author of the study.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge claim that global heating could trigger nuclear war, financial crisis or an extinction-level pandemic as soon as 2070
The 'four horsemen' of the climate endgame
The researchers propose that research is needed in four key areas, which they call the 'four horsemen' of the climate endgame.
These are famine and malnutrition, extreme weather, conflict, and vector-borne diseases.
Global food supply is at threat amid rising temperatures, with increasing risk of 'breadbasket failures' as the world's most agriculturally productive areas suffer 'collective meltdowns', according to the researchers.
More extreme weather could also create conditions for new disease outbreaks, as habitats for both people and wildlife shift and shrink.
Meanwhile, the risk of 'interacting' threats such as democratic breakdowns and new forms of destructive AI weaponry is also likely to increase alongside rising temperature.
For example, the researchers say that 'warm wars' could become common, in which technologically enhanced superpowers fight over both dwindling carbon space and giant experiments to deflect sunlight and reduce global temperatures.
'Climate change has played a role in every mass extinction event. It has helped fell empires and shaped history. Even the modern world seems adapted to a particular climate niche.
'Paths to disaster are not limited to the direct impacts of high temperatures, such as extreme weather events.
'Knock-on effects such as financial crises, conflict, and new disease outbreaks could trigger other calamities, and impede recovery from potential disasters such as nuclear war.'
In the study, the team used modelling to estimate the consequences of 3°C (5.4°F) warming and beyond.
Their estimations indicate that areas of extreme heat where annual average temperatures are over 29°C (84°F) will cover two billion people by 2070.
Worryingly, these areas are some of the most politically fragile, as well as the most densely populated, according to the team.
'Average annual temperatures of 29 degrees currently affect around 30 million people in the Sahara and Gulf Coast,' said co-author Chi Xu of Nanjing University.
'By 2070, these temperatures and the social and political consequences will directly affect two nuclear powers, and seven maximum containment laboratories housing the most dangerous pathogens.
'There is serious potential for disastrous knock-on effects.'
The researchers propose that research is needed in four key areas, which they call the 'four horsemen' of the climate endgame.
These are famine and malnutrition, extreme weather, conflict, and vector-borne diseases.

Earth Overshoot Day is earlier than EVER
Humans have already used a year's worth of natural resources in 2022 – a calendar event known as Earth Overshoot Day.
The annual date marks the point at which humanity has used all the biological resources that the Earth can regenerate during that year.
But in 2022 it's earlier than ever before, largely due to a demand for food, land, timber and new urban infrastructure to cater to a growing population.
Demand for these resources outstrips the Earth's biocapacity – its ability to renew those resources – meaning we now effectively have gone into overdraft.
It also means we've outstripped the planet's annual capacity to absorb waste products such as carbon dioxide.
Co-author Professor Kristie Ebi from the University of Washington said: 'We need an interdisciplinary endeavour to understand how climate change could trigger human mass morbidity and mortality.'
Global food supply is at threat amid rising temperatures, with increasing risk of 'breadbasket failures' as the world's most agriculturally productive areas suffer 'collective meltdowns', according to the researchers.

For example, the researchers say that 'warm wars' could become common, in which technologically enhanced superpowers fight over both dwindling carbon space and giant experiments to deflect sunlight and reduce global temperatures.
'The more we learn about how our planet functions, the greater the reason for concern,' said co-author Prof Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
'We increasingly understand that our planet is a more sophisticated and fragile organism.
'We must do the math of disaster in order to avoid it.'
Professor Kemp concluded: 'We know that temperature rise has a "fat tail", which means a wide range of lower probability but potentially extreme outcomes.
'Facing a future of accelerating climate change while remaining blind to worst-case scenarios is naive risk-management at best and fatally foolish at worst.'

Wetenschappers waarschuwen voor ‘climate endgame’: “Er zijn voldoende redenen om te geloven dat klimaatverandering kan leiden tot een catastrofe"
Het mogelijke verval van de maatschappij of de kans op uitsterven door de klimaatverandering wordt onvoldoende onderzocht. Dat schrijven klimaatwetenschappers in een analyse in een wetenschappelijk vaktijdschrift. Er zijn volgens hen voldoende redenen om te geloven dat de klimaatverandering tot een apocalyptische ramp of ‘climate endgame’ zou kunnen leiden, een scenario waar we momenteel niet op voorbereid zijn.

“We zijn nog blind voor de worstcasescenario’s”, zo starten de experts hun pleidooi. “In het slechtste geval gedragen we ons dodelijk dwaas.” Volgens de wetenschappers bereiden we ons maar beter voor op een ‘climate endgame’ of het ‘eindspel van het klimaat’, zelfs al is de kans klein dat dit eindspel zich de komende decennia zal afspelen.
Volgens het internationale team wetenschappers moet er omtrent vier belangrijke pijlers het nodige onderzoek gebeuren: hongersnood, oorlog, extreem weer en ziektes door klimaatverandering. Ze roepen de Intergouvernementele Werkgroep inzake Klimaatverandering (IPCC) van de Verenigde Naties zelfs op om hier een uitgebreid rapport aan te wijden.
Klimaatopwarming met 3 graden
De analyse werd gepubliceerd door het vooraanstaande vaktijdschrift ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’. In totaal werkten tien wetenschappers mee aan het strenge verslag. Het stelt onder meer dat er onvoldoende onderzoek is gebeurd naar de gevolgen van een klimaatopwarming met 3 graden (in plaats van de vooropgestelde anderhalve graad). Als we hetzelfde tempo aan opwarming aanhouden, zou het klimaat tegen 2100 immers met 2,1 tot zelfs 3,9 graden zijn opgewarmd, vergeleken met het pre-industriële tijdperk. “We weten het minst over de scenario’s die er het meest toe doen”, zo redeneren ze.
Zo zou er nagegaan moeten worden hoe verschillende risico’s zich verspreiden en elkaar versterken. Stel bijvoorbeeld dat elektrische infrastructuur wordt vernield in een stad door een storm. Dan is deze stad ook gevoeliger voor een daaropvolgende hittegolf. Hitte en aanhoudende droogte werken bosbranden dan weer in de hand.
Oorlogen, epidemieën en armoede
Daarnaast waarschuwen de wetenschappers voor de indirecte gevolgen van de klimaatverandering. Zo kan er door aanhoudende droogte een gigantisch watertekort ontstaan, dat op zijn beurt kan leiden tot grote conflicten. Ook ziektes, epidemieën en zelfs pandemieën kunnen het resultaat zijn van de klimaatverandering. Misoogsten en watertekorten kunnen armoede dan weer in de hand helpen.

He and other people in his squadron have detected and engaged with UFOs on multiple occasions, and Lt. Graves remains one of the few fighter pilots willing to speak publicly about these experiences.
Caught U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi Plane Landing, Taipei, Taiwan, Video, Aug 2, 2022 World News.
Caught U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi Plane Landing, Taipei, Taiwan, Video, Aug 2, 2022 World News.
Hey all, I was on the running track tonight at about 10:40 pm and recorded U.S. Air Force plane that may include House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. After seeing it, I checked and saw live news of it landing at that moment! This is her plane. Awesome news she came in safe and sound. Good for Taiwan and America.
Also the fact that Nancy could use this in 2024 to help her get elected as president...seems possible. Or to help enforce a US president in 2024.
China wont take it sitting down. They will punish Taiwan in one form or another. Already the top 100 exporters in Taiwan were banned from sending to China. But I think Lanyu Island being closest to China will be taken over...even now as I type this, two huge China warships sit alongside it...threating its freedom.
Does new Webb photo of Jupiter show a Mothership over a thousand miles long?
Does new Webb photo of Jupiter show a Mothership over a thousand miles long?
On July 27, 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope released an image of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot using one of its infrared cameras.
The image above contains a cylindrical-shaped object floating high above Jupiter’s atmosphere that appears to be more than a thousand miles long. The image corroborates claims of giant spacecraft recently arriving in our solar system and parking in the vicinity of Jupiter.
These giant motherships are not only arriving and parking near Jupiter, they are also seen near other planets like Saturn and even the Sun as well as other places in space.
Below images show some of these huge motherships captured near the Sun and in Space which are comparable in size to the UFO floating high above Jupiter’s atmosphere.
There is clear evidence of the existence of interstellar alien spacecraft, but the US government and NASA are still silence about these giant motherships traveling through our solar system.
