BIZARRE ONDERWATERSNEEUW OP EUROPA VALT MOGELIJK OMHOOG: MINDER ZOUT WATER, MEER KANS OP LEVEN?
BIZARRE ONDERWATERSNEEUW OP EUROPA VALT MOGELIJK OMHOOG: MINDER ZOUT WATER, MEER KANS OP LEVEN?

Jupiters kleinste Galileïsche maan Europa herbergt nog vele geheimen, mogelijk in de vorm van leven. Een nieuwe studie licht weer een tipje van de sluier op: er schuilt niet alleen een oceaan met vloeibaar water onder de dikke ijskorst, maar er is ook sneeuw, die omhoog valt.
De sneeuw drijft naar boven vanaf omgekeerde ijspieken en ondergedompelde ravijnen. De bizarre onderwatersneeuw kennen we ook onder ijsplaten op Aarde. Volgens het nieuwe onderzoek gebeurt dus hetzelfde op de maan van Jupiter. Daar zou de sneeuw een rol spelen bij de vorming van de ijskorst.
Onderwaterleven De onderwatersneeuw is veel puurder dan andere vormen van ijs, wat betekent dat Europa’s ijslaag mogelijk veel minder zout is dan tot nu toe werd gedacht. Dat is belangrijk voor de wetenschappers die de NASA-missie Clipper naar Europa voorbereiden. Het ruimtevaartuig gebruikt radar om onder de ijskap te gluren of er in Europa’s oceaan mogelijk leven huist. Zout dat vastzit in het ijs kan effect hebben op hoeveel en hoe diep de radar onder het ijs kan kijken. Dus als de onderzoekers beter weten waar het ijs van is gemaakt, kunnen ze de data van de missie beter begrijpen. Ze kunnen dan ook beter het zoutgehalte bepalen en de levensvatbaarheid van de oceaan.
“Als we Europa verkennen zijn we geïnteresseerd in het zoutgehalte en de samenstelling van de oceaan, omdat dit mede bepaalt in hoeverre de oceaan leven kan bevatten en zelfs waar dit leven uit bestaat”, legt onderzoeker Natalie Wolfenbarger uit van de University of Texas, wier studie in vakblad Astrobiology verscheen. De Texaanse universiteit leidt ook de ontwikkeling van het radarinstrument waarmee ruimtevaartuig Clipper onder het ijs op Europa gaat kijken.
Vergelijkbaar met Antarctica Europa is ongeveer net zo groot als onze eigen maan en is omhuld met een kilometers dikke ijslaag. Daaronder zit vermoedelijk een vloeibare oceaan. Eerdere studies wijzen uit dat de temperatuur, druk en het zoutgehalte van het gedeelte dat zich dicht tegen het ijs bevindt, vergelijkbaar is met wat je onder een ijskap op Antarctica aantreft.
Gewapend met deze kennis, is in deze nieuwe studie gekeken naar twee verschillende manieren waarop water onder ijsplaten bevriest: het ijs groeit direct onder het ijs vast of er vormen zich ijsschotsen in het ijskoude zeewater die naar boven komen drijven en zich dan vastzetten aan de onderkant van de ijsplaat. In beide gevallen ontstaat er ijs dat minder zout is dan zeewater. Als je dit uitvergroot naar Europa’s ijskorst zou het zelfs nóg minder zout ijs zijn, volgens Wolfenbarger. Haar berekeningen stellen ook vast dat de gebroken stukken ijs, die maar een fractie van het zout van zeewater bevatten, veel voorkomen op Europa. Dat betekent dat de ijskap mogelijk vele malen puurder is dan eerdere schattingen uitwezen. Dat heeft effect op alles: van de sterkte van het ijs tot hoe warmte erdoorheen beweegt en krachten werken, die de ijsplaten stuwen.
Ophopingen van ijsfragmenten onder de Antarctische ijsplaat. Volgens het Texaanse onderzoek is het ijs op Europa mogelijk van hetzelfde spul gemaakt.
De Aarde als voorbeeld “Deze studie opent een vat vol mogelijkheden voor hoe we over de oceaanwerelden denken en hoe ze werken”, zegt NASA-onderzoeker Steve Vance, die niet betrokken is bij de studie. “Het zet de toon voor hoe we ons voorbereiden op de Clipper-analyse van het ijs van Europa.”
Volgens hoofdonderzoeker van het radarinstrument van de Clipper, Donald Blankenship bevestigt het onderzoek dat de Aarde een geschikt model is om te achterhalen of Europa geschikt is voor leven. “We kunnen de Aarde gebruiken om Europa’s levensvatbaarheid te evalueren door de uitwisseling van onzuiverheden te meten tussen het ijs en de oceaan en erachter te komen waar water zich bevindt in het ijs”, zegt hij.
Europa Europa is de kleinste maan van Jupiter, maar nog altijd ongeveer even groot als de maan van de Aarde. Het is qua grootte de vijfde maan van ons zonnestelsel. Omdat de ijskorst van Europa in beweging is (tektoniek) bevindt zich onder het ijs wellicht vloeibaar water en dus mogelijk leven. Hoe dik de ijslaag is, blijft gissen. Ramingen lopen uiteen van 1 tot 30 kilometer. Hoe dunner de ijslaag, hoe groter de kans op leven.
In 2023 vertrekt de JUICE-missie van ESA naar Jupiter om daar onderzoek naar te doen en in 2024 volgt de Clipper-missie van NASA. Ze blijven in een baan rond Jupiter en bestuderen Europa van een afstand. Europa draait in 3,5 dag rond de planeet op een afstand van 665.533 kilometer. De maan heeft een ijle atmosfeer met zuurstof. De luchtdruk is er 100 miljard keer minder dan op Aarde.

32 Years ago, in a remote hilly area of Scotland in 1990 called Calvine, two witnesses saw and photographed a large diamond shaped object with a military plane in the lower right corner. They took 6,photos. The photos were sent to a British newspaper but they were never published as the British Ministry of Defense confiscated the photos. Photostatted facsimiles of one photo have made the rounds for decades while the MOD denied all of the photos’ existence. Why? Here is the facsimile going around UFO circles for 3 decades followed by the actual photo released this past week.
This week one actual photo has been released due to a concerted effort by Dr. David Clarke, a scientist and UFO researcher in Britain. The photo released says it is the property of Sheffield Hallam University.
The photo has gone viral and is currently making its rounds about the internet. The other 5 photos have yet to surface and it is doubtful the MOD will ever release them.
The one released is an extraordinary photo but exactly what it shows is inconclusive. It is an impressive diamond and seems to dwarf the plane in the photograph. It is believed to be a military plane that is either escorting the object or chasing it.
Additionally, a concerted effort has now been mounted by the British media to identify the two
anonymous hikers that took the half dozen series of analog photos.
The object has been estimated to be as long as 100 feet in diameter. The object has also been theorized to be the American military stealth aircraft built by Boeing and known as the Bird of Prey. Only one was built in 1996 and it is on display today in a museum. Could it have been a top-secret project 6 years prior in 1990 undergoing testing? Possible yes but likely? Here are two photos of Boeing’s Bird of Prey. What do you think?
The most important questions to ask are why find and release the photo now after 32 years of silence?
Is it military? Is it Extraterrestrial? Is it real? Was it planned? Is it legitimate?
It is, nonetheless, the most famous and intriguing photo ever to come out of the United Kingdom.
Sci-fi films and TV shows have routinely depicted a brutal race of aliens visiting Earth in their spaceships and enslaving unfortunate Earthlings.
But according to one expert, extraterrestrial life may actually be too scared of 'dangerous' and 'violent' humans to want to come here.
Dr Gordon Gallup, a biopsychologist at the University of Albany, argues that humans are 'dangerous, violent and ceaselessly engage in endless bloody conflicts and war'.
For this reason, aliens with the technological capability of making a visit to Earth – if they exist – are likely inclined to stay away for fear of death and genocide, according to Dr Gallup.
No life beyond Earth has ever been found and there is no evidence that alien life has ever visited our planet. But this may be due to extraterrestrial life being too scared of 'dangerous' and 'violent' humans
(artist's impression)
Dr Gordon Gallup (pictured) is a biopsychologist at the University at Albany
Dr Gallup has presented his argument in an open access paper published in the Journal of Astrobiology this month.
'If [alien life] exists it may have found us by now and discovered that humans are dangerous, violent and ceaselessly engage in endless bloody conflicts and war, and continually develop even more powerful weapons of mass destruction,' Dr Gallup says.
'It would also be obvious, that as a byproduct of increasing pollution, habitat destruction, coupled with endless wars, pillage, death, destruction and the desire for conquest, that humans pose an unparalleled and unprecedented risk not only to other life forms on Earth but to life on other planets.'
As an example, Dr Gallup cites 'the total destruction of the highly advanced Aztec and Inca civilizations' and the subsequent genocide of the native people, their temples and buildings destroyed and their wealth and natural resources stolen.
'If the humans of Earth became aware of advanced civilizations and desirable resources on other worlds, might these native extraterrestrial populations eventually suffer the same fate as befell the natives of Mexico and Peru?,' he writes.
'If there is intelligent life elsewhere, they may view humans as extremely dangerous. Maybe this is why there is no proof or compelling evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence: we pose too great a risk, and they do not want to be discovered.'
During his lifetime, the famous British astrophysicist Professor Stephen Hawking (pictured) raised concerns about the dangers posed by intelligent and hostile extraterrestrials
DOES ALIEN LIFE EXIST?
No life beyond Earth has ever been found; there is no evidence that alien life has ever visited our planet.
However, this does not mean that the universe is lifeless other than on Earth, according to NASA.
The space agency says: 'While no clear signs of life have ever been detected, the possibility of extraterrestrial biology - the scientific logic that supports it - has grown increasingly plausible.'
One popular school of thought is that our own existence is evidence that there is certainly life on other planets, as the likelihood of Earth being a 'one-off' is almost zero.
However, one argument against this is - if there is extraterrestrial life, why have we not found any evidence for it?
During his lifetime, the famous British astrophysicist Professor Stephen Hawking raised concerns about the dangers posed by intelligent and hostile extraterrestrials, Dr Gallup points out.
These aliens might arrive to conquer, enslave, destroy, and colonise humans to exploit the resources of our planet having exhausted those of their own.
This has long been perpetuated by TV and film – for example, 'Battlefield Earth', a 2000 film based on a novel written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, depicts a brutal race of giant aliens called 'The Psychlos' subjecting humans to slave labour.
According to Professor Hawking, the outcome might be analogous to when Columbus came to America, which did not turn out well for Native Americans, Dr Gallup says.
But the truth could be completely the opposite – it might also be possible that aliens live in fear of being found.
Overall, humans are unique because 'they have developed the technological capability to cause their own extinction'.
'Humans appear to be poised at the brink of reaching the tipping point when it comes to our dependence on fossil fuels and the resulting effects on climate change,' Dr Gallup says.
'The trajectory suggests that for the first time in the history of Earth, we are headed for a mass extinction that is occurring as a result of the actions of a single species; i.e., human.'
In 'Battlefield Earth (2000) a brutal race of giant aliens called 'The Psychlos' that have subjected humans to slave labour for 1,000 years
So far, astronomers have discovered more than 4,000 of exoplanets confirmed to be orbiting other stars in our galaxy. Pictured is an artist's rendering of an exoplanet and its moon
The paper draws on the Fermi paradox, which is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence for extraterrestrial civilizations and various high estimates for their probability.
In other words, if there is extraterrestrial life, why have we not found any evidence for it?
According to estimates from Erik Zackrisson, an astrophysicist at Uppsala University in Sweden, there are 70 quintillion planets in the universe – that's 7 followed by 20 zeroes.
In the Milky Way galaxy alone, there many as many as six billion Earth-like planets, according to a 2020 study by University of British Columbia astronomers.
According to NASA, some 4.933 exoplanets – planets outside our own solar system – have been confirmed in 3,704 systems.
The majority of these exoplanets are gaseous, like Jupiter or Neptune, rather than terrestrial, according to NASA's online database.
As for whether intelligent life exists other than on Earth, Dr Gallup says: 'The history of biology on Earth makes it clear that intelligent, technologically sophisticated life is the exception rather than the rule.
'Despite billions of different lifeforms, the track record of intelligent life with complex tool-making capabilities and the cognitive ability to achieve self-consciousness, indicate that it has only appeared once, which makes the prospect of finding technologically sophisticated intelligent life elsewhere exponentially remote.'
WHAT IS THE FERMI PARADOX?
The Fermi Paradox questions why, given the estimated 200bn-400bn stars and at least 100bn planets in our galaxy, there have been no signs of alien life.
The contradiction is named after its creator, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi.
He first posed the question back in 1950.
Fermi believed it was too extraordinary that a single extraterrestrial signal or engineering project has yet to be detected in the universe — despite its immense vastness.
Fermi concluded there must a barrier that limits the rise of intelligent, self-aware, technologically advanced space-colonising civilisations.
This barrier is sometimes referred to as the 'Great Filter'.
Italian physicist Enrico Fermi devised the so-called Fermi Paradox in the 1950s. It explores why there is no sign of alien life, despite the 100 billions planets in our galaxy
If the main obstacle preventing the colonisation of other planets is not in our past, then the barrier that will stop humanity's prospects of reaching other worlds must lie in our future, scientists have theorised.
Professor Brian Cox believes the advances in science and engineering required by a civilisation to start conquering the stars ultimately lead to its destruction.
He said: 'One solution to the Fermi paradox is that it is not possible to run a world that has the power to destroy itself and that needs global collaborative solutions to prevent that.
‘It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster.'
Other possible explanations for the Fermi Paradox include that no other intelligent species have arisen in the universe, intelligent alien species are out there — but lack the necessary technology to communicate with Earth.
Some believe that the distances between intelligent civilsations are too great to allow any kind of two-way communication.
If two worlds are separated by several thousand light-years, it's possible that one or both civilisation will be extinct before a dialogue can be established.
The so-called Zoo hypothesis claims intelligent alien life is out there, but deliberately avoids any contact with life on Earth to allow its natural evolution.

NASA’s First Flight With Crew Important Step on Long-term Return to the Moon, Missions to Mars
NASA’s First Flight With Crew Important Step on Long-term Return to the Moon, Missions to Mars
NASA’s First Flight With Crew Important Step on Long-term Return to the Moon, Missions to Mars
Astronauts on their first flight aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft will travel farther into the solar system than humanity has ever traveled before. Their mission will be to confirm all of the spacecraft’s systems operate as designed with crew aboard in the actual environment of deep space. The Artemis II flight test will be NASA’s first mission with crew and will pave the way to land the first woman and next man on the Moon on Artemis III. Building on those early missions, NASA’s Artemis program will return humans to the Moon for long-term exploration and future missions to worlds beyond, including Mars.
“The unique Artemis II mission profile will build upon the uncrewed Artemis I flight test by demonstrating a broad range of SLS and Orion capabilities needed on deep space missions,” said Mike Sarafin, Artemis mission manager. “This mission will prove Orion’s critical life support systems are ready to sustain our astronauts on longer duration missions ahead and allow the crew to practice operations essential to the success of Artemis III.”
Leaving Earth
The mission will launch a crew of four astronauts from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida in 2023 on a Block 1 configuration of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The flight profile is called a hybrid free return trajectory. Orion will perform multiple maneuvers to raise its orbit around Earth and eventually place the crew on a lunar free return trajectory in which Earth’s gravity will naturally pull Orion back home after flying by the Moon.
The initial launch will be similar to Artemis I as SLS lofts Orion into space, and then jettisons the boosters, service module panels, and launch abort system, before the core stage engines shut down and the core stage separates from the upper stage and the spacecraft. With crew aboard this mission, Orion and the upper stage, called the interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS), will then orbit Earth twice to ensure Orion’s systems are working as expected while still close to home. The spacecraft will first reach an initial orbit, flying in the shape of an ellipse, at an altitude of about 115 by 1,800 miles. The orbit will last a little over 90 minutes and will include the first firing of the ICPS to maintain Orion’s path. After the first orbit, the ICPS will raise Orion to a high-Earth orbit. This maneuver will enable the spacecraft to build up enough speed for the eventual push toward the Moon. The second, larger orbit will take approximately 42 hours with Orion flying in an ellipse between about 235 and 68,000 miles above Earth. For perspective, the International Space Station flies a nearly circular Earth orbit about 250 miles above our planet.
After the burn to enter high-Earth orbit, Orion will separate from the ICPS. The expended stage will have one final use before it is disposed through Earth’s atmosphere—the crew will use it as a target for a proximity operations demonstration. During the demonstration, mission controllers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston will monitor Orion as the astronauts transition the spacecraft to manual mode and pilot Orion’s flight path and orientation. The crew will use Orion’s onboard cameras and the view from the spacecraft’s windows to line up with the ICPS as they approach and back away from the stage to assess Orion’s handling qualities and related hardware and software. This demonstration will provide performance data and operational experience that cannot be readily gained on the ground in preparation for critical rendezvous, proximity operations and docking, as well as undocking operations in lunar orbit beginning on Artemis III.
Checking Critical Systems
Following the proximity operations demonstration, the crew will turn control of Orion back to mission controllers at Johnson and spend the remainder of the orbit verifying spacecraft system performance in the space environment. They will remove the Orion Crew Survival System suit they wear for launch and spend the remainder of the in-space mission in plain clothes, until they don their suits again to prepare for reentry into Earth’s atmosphere and recovery from the ocean.
While still close to Earth, the crew will assess the performance of the life support systems necessary to generate breathable air and remove the carbon dioxide and water vapor produced when the astronauts breathe, talk, or exercise. The long orbital period around Earth provides an opportunity to test the systems during exercise periods, where the crew’s metabolic rate is the highest, and a sleep period, where the crew’s metabolic rate is the lowest. A change between the suit mode and cabin mode in the life support system, as well as performance of the system during exercise and sleep periods, will confirm the full range of life support system capabilities and ensure readiness for the lunar flyby portion of the mission.
Orion will also checkout the communication and navigation systems to confirm they are ready for the trip to the Moon. While still in the elliptical orbit around Earth, Orion will briefly fly beyond the range of GPS satellites and the Tracking and Data Relay Satellites of NASA’s Space Network to allow an early checkout of agency’s Deep Space Network communication and navigation capabilities. When Orion travels out to and around the Moon, mission control will depend on the Deep Space Network to communicate with the astronauts, send imagery to Earth, and command the spacecraft.
After completing checkout procedures, Orion will perform the next propulsion move, called the translunar injection (TLI) burn. With the ICPS having done most of the work to put Orion into a high-Earth orbit, the service module will provide the last push needed to put Orion on a path toward the Moon. The TLI burn will send crew on an outbound trip of about four days and around the backside of the moon where they will ultimately create a figure eight extending over 230,000 miles from Earth before Orion returns home.
To the Moon and “Free” ride home
On the remainder of the trip, astronauts will continue to evaluate the spacecraft’s systems, including including demonstrating Earth departure and return operations, practicing emergency procedures, and testing the radiation shelter, among other activities.
The Artemis II crew will travel 4,600 miles beyond the far side of the Moon. From this vantage point, they will be able to see the Earth and the Moon from Orion’s windows, with the Moon close in the foreground and the Earth nearly a quarter-million miles in the background.
With a return trip of about four days, the mission is expected to last just over 10 days. Instead of requiring propulsion on the return, this fuel-efficient trajectory harnesses the Earth-Moon gravity field, ensuring that—after its trip around the far side of the Moon—Orion will be pulled back naturally by Earth’s gravity for the free return portion of the mission.
Two missions, two different trajectories
Following these first two test flights, Orion and a crew of four will once again travel to the Moon, this time to make history with the first woman and next man to walk on its surface. Beginning with Artemis III, NASA intends to launch crewed missions about once per year, with initial missions focused on establishing surface capabilities and building the Gateway in orbit around the Moon.
“Together, these test flights will demonstrate the capabilities we need to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024 and enable sustainable missions for decades to come,” said Sarafin. “We will take the experience gained exploring the Moon to prepare for the next giant leap to Mars.”
NASA is leading a return to the Moon through an innovative and sustainable program of exploration with commercial and international partners to enable human expansion across the solar system and to bring back to Earth new knowledge and opportunities. SLS and Orion are critical backbone capabilities, along with the Gateway in lunar orbit and a modern human landing system, that will enable human missions of increasing complexity in deep space.

Pilots of a passenger plane flying over Columbia at 30,000 feet noticed a strange object with no wings and no visible propulsion that was moving in the opposite direction of the aircraft.
With all those strange objects in the sky over the last few years, we may wonder whether this possible secret man-made object is one of the latest developments referring to the infamous tic-tac UFOs.

Hubble Space Telescope Provides A Closer Look At the Rarest Metallic Asteroid Worth $10,000,000,000,000,000,000
Hubble Space Telescope Provides A Closer Look At the Rarest Metallic Asteroid Worth $10,000,000,000,000,000,000
Between Mars and Jupiter lies an incredibly rare metallic asteroid that is worth more than the entire world economy. The Hubble Space Telescope has now provided us with a closer look at the object, which is estimated to be worth $10 quadrillion dollars.
New research published this week in The Planetary Science Journal looks deeper than ever before into the secrets of the asteroid 16 Psyche, one of the solar system's most enormous objects in the main asteroid belt around Mars and Jupiter, roughly 230 million miles from Earth. It has a diameter of around 140 miles or nearly the size of Massachusetts.
The majority of asteroids consist of rock or ice. But 16 Psyche is dense and composed mostly of metal, likely the remnant core of a planet that never fully formed — a so-called "protoplanet" whose mantle was stripped away by collisions that revealed its core.
This research represents the first ultraviolet (UV) observations of the celestial body. The asteroid may be composed completely of iron and nickel, which are present in the dense cores of planets, according to new findings.
"We've seen meteorites that are mostly metal, but Psyche could be unique in that it might be an asteroid that is totally made of iron and nickel," lead author Dr. Tracy Becker said in a statement. "Earth has a metal core, a mantle and crust. It's possible that as a Psyche protoplanet was forming, it was struck by another object in our solar system and lost its mantle and crust."
Scientists examined the asteroid at two points throughout its rotation in order to examine the UV wavelength information of both sides. They discovered that the surface may be composed mostly of iron, but cautioned that even a modest quantity of iron would dominate UV data.
"We were able to identify for the first time on any asteroid what we think are iron oxide ultraviolet absorption bands," Becker said. "This is an indication that oxidation is happening on the asteroid, which could be a result of the solar wind hitting the surface."
The solar wind is the movement of charged particles across the solar system from the sun's upper atmosphere, known as the corona. It is responsible for comet tails, aurora formations, and the putative "space weathering" of Psyche.
Researchers also reported that the asteroid grew more reflective at deeper UV wavelengths, which may indicate its age.
"This is something that we need to study further," Becker said. "This could be indicative of it being exposed in space for so long. This type of UV brightening is often attributed to space weathering."
Metal asteroids are uncommon, therefore Psyche gives a fascinating chance for scientists to examine the inside of a planet. NASA intends to send the unmanned spacecraft Psyche on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in 2022 in order to investigate the asteroid in an effort to understand its history and that of related asteroids. This will be the first time a mission will visit a fully metallic body.
In January 2026, the orbiter will arrive at the asteroid to investigate it for about two years. The head of the project at Arizona State University thinks that the iron alone would be worth $10,000 quadrillion dollars on the current market.
"What makes Psyche and the other asteroids so interesting is that they're considered to be the building blocks of the solar system," Becker said. "To understand what really makes up a planet and to potentially see the inside of a planet is fascinating. Once we get to Psyche, we're really going to understand if that's the case, even if it doesn't turn out as we expect. Any time there's a surprise, it's always exciting.
Weird Energy Beam Just Left A Galaxy Travelling At Five Times the Speed of Light And Hubble Caught It
Weird Energy Beam Just Left A Galaxy Travelling At Five Times the Speed of Light And Hubble Caught It
Please welcome to the stage a master illusionist. An energy beam that stabs out of galaxy M87 like a toothpick in a cocktail olive is pulling off the ultimate magic trick: seeming to move faster than the speed of light.
Almost five times faster, in fact, as measured by the Hubble Space Telescope. This feat was first observed in 1995 in galaxy M87, and has been seen in many other galaxies since. It might have you questioning your entire reality. Nothing can break the cosmic speed limit, right? You can’t just flaunt the laws of physics… can you?
If you want to just enjoy the illusion from your seat in the audience, stop reading. Otherwise, I welcome you backstage for a look at how the trick works – and how it’s helping astronomers to understand the fate of entire galaxies.
Blobs faster than light?
We’ve known about the jet of plasma shooting from the core of M87 since 1918, when astronomer Heber Curtis saw a ray of light connected to the galaxy. To be visible from so far away, it had to be huge – about 6000 light years long.
As modern astronomers now know, pretty much all galaxies have a central black hole that periodically draws in stars and gas clouds. When gas begins to swirl down the drain, it heats up and magnetic fields focus some of it into jets of hot plasma. These jets shoot out at velocities near to – but not faster than – the speed of light.
Cosmic uncertainty: Is the speed of light really constant?
If you were to aim a telescope into the sky towards M87, you would see that this lance of plasma is askew. Instead of pointing exactly into our line of sight, it’s angled a bit to the right.
To understand the illusion, picture a single glowing blob of plasma starting at the base of this path and emitting a ray of light, both of which travel towards Earth. Now wait 10 years. In that time, the blob has moved closer at a sizeable fraction of the speed of light. That gives the rays emitted from that later position a few light years’ head start on the way to us.
If you compare the first and second images from Earth’s perspective, it looks like the blob has just moved across the sky to the right. But because the second position is also closer to us, its light has had less far to travel than it appears. That means it seems to have arrived there faster than it actually did – as if the blob spent those 10 years travelling at ludicrous speed.
One among many
The jet from M87 is more than just a curiosity, says Eileen Meyer at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
All over the universe, outflows of energy from massive black holes can stop or start the formation of stars throughout galaxies. But it’s unclear how these outflows work and how much energy they contain.
By appearing to move faster than light, jets such as the M87 one change visibly over just a few years, which is unusual for distant objects like galaxies. That allows astronomers to make precise estimates of how fast the plasma is moving and thus how powerful the process is.M87 is special because it is relatively close compared to other galaxies, making it easy to study. In 1999, astronomers used Hubble pictures of the jet taken over four years to see that plasma ripple outwards. In 2013, Meyer lengthened that to 13 years of images, which seemed to show that the plasma might also be moving in corkscrew-like spirals – as if it wasn’t complicated enough.
Fresh results from Meyer, now being prepared for publication, extend that baseline again to a total of more than two decades and may offer new surprises. “Over 20 years, you know, things go bump in the night,” she says.
And although the faster-than-light effect is old hat to her, she still stops to appreciate it sometimes. Most things we see travelling across the sky, such as planets and comets, are close to us. But M87 is tens of millions of light years away. “We can see, over a human lifetime, things moving,” she says. “Which is crazy.”
Astronomers Have Revealed a Black Hole's Photon Ring for the First Time
Astronomers Have Revealed a Black Hole's Photon Ring for the First Time
In 2019 the Event Horizon Telescope gave us our . It was a powerful image, but not one with much detail. It looks like a blurry orange donut. To be fair, the real meat of the discovery was in the data, not the image. And as a recent study shows, there’s a great deal more in the data than what we’ve seen.
One of the important things to understand about the EHT image is that it doesn’t show the glow of the black hole itself. Black holes don’t emit light directly. And unlike less detailed images of supermassive black holes we have, the glow isn’t due to jets of plasma or a torus of superheated gas around the black hole. Instead, the image shows radio light that was focused by the black hole.

The black hole in M87 is bathed in light from nearby gas, including radio light. When a particular beam of light passes close to the black hole, the warping of spacetime causes it to change direction a bit. We’ve observed the slight deflection of light from things such as the stars and galaxies numerous times, but close to a black hole the light can change direction significantly. It could loop around to make a right-angle turn, or even end up heading back from the direction it came. The closer the path to the black hole, the more radical the change in direction.
Light is passing near the black hole in all sorts of directions, but from our perspective, we can only see the light that is focused toward us. Any beam of light that loops around the black hole and heads our way, we should be able to see. It turns out that the black hole can act as a really strong lens. Light can pass extremely close to the black hole, and get focused directly toward us. So what we should see is a thin circle of light known as the photon ring. Part of the right will be brighter since the rotation of the black hole also gives the light a bit of an energy boost. The size of the ring depends on the mass of the black hole, and the brightness of the brighter region depends on the black hole’s rotation.

So why doesn’t the EHT image show the photon ring? Unfortunately, the space between us and the black hole isn’t completely empty. There is still a surrounding region of cold gas, which the light has to pass through to reach us. Some of the light scatters along the way, making the image more blurry than we’d like. This is where the new study comes in.
The diffuse glow of the EHT image tells us not only about the black hole but also about the diffuse gas surrounding the black hole. The team noted that there are essentially two images within the EHT data. One is that of the photon ring itself, and the other is the blurry glow of the surrounding region. Using new imaging algorithms, the team was able to separate the two, revealing the black hole’s photon ring.
It’s a great example of the power of analyzing data in new ways. Modern astronomical observations gather so much data that there is often much more information than we might suspect. As we learn how to process data more effectively, we can reveal layers hidden under the surface.

U) This report was prepared for the Congressional Intelligence and Armed Services Committees under the auspices of the ODN! It was drafted by the UAPTF ODNI National Intelligence Manager for Aviation, with input from USD(I&S), LA, FBI, NRO, NGA, NSA, Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, DARPA, FAA, NOAA, ODNIINIME merging and Disruptive Technology, ODNI National Counterintelligence and Security Center, and of National Intelligence Council. (U) Assumptions (U) Various forms of sensors that register UAP generally operate correctly and capture enough real data to allow initial assessments, but some UAP may be attributable to sensor anomalies. 2 50 U.S.C. § 3024(1) 50 U.S.C. § 3024(I)

(U) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (U)
The limited amount of high-quality reporting on UAP hampers our ability to draw firm conclusions about the nature or intent of UAP. The UAPTP considered a range of information on UAP described in U.S. military and IC (Intelligence Community) reporting, but because the reporting lacked sufficient specificity, ultimately recognized that a unique, tailored reporting process was required to provide sufficient data for analysis of UAP events. 50 U.S.C. § 3 024(I) As a result, the UAPTP concentrated its review on ~escribing Incidents that occurred between 2004 and 2021, the majority of which are a result of a new tailored process to better capture UAP events through formalized reporting. 50 U.S.C. § 3024(I) •
(U) Most of the UAP reported probably do represent physical objects given that a majority of UAP registered across multiple sensors, to include radar, infrared, electrooptical, weapon seekers, and visual observation. In a limited number of incidents, UAP reportedly appeared to exhibit unusual flight characteristics, including several in which the 1.4(a) (e )(g) ~1.4(a)(e)(g) ,==” involving • These observations could be the result of sensor errors, spoofing, or observer. misperception and require additional rigorous analysis.
(U) There are probably multiple types of UAP requiring different explanations based on the range of appearances and behaviors. UAP clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to U.S. national security. Safety concerns primarily center on aviators contending with an increasingly cluttered air domain. UAP would also represent a national security challenge if they are foreign adversary collection platforms or provide evidence a potential adversary has developed either a breakthrough or disruptive technology. (U) Consistent consolidation of reports from across the federal government, standardized reporting, increased collection and analysis, and a streamlined process for screening all such reports against a broad range of relevant USG data will allow for a more sophisticated analysis of UAPs.

U) AVAILABLE REPORTING LARGELY INCONCLUSIVE
(U) Limited data leaves most UAP Unexplained (U) a dataset involved UAP largely witnessed firsthand aviators and that were collected from Limited data and inconsistency in replying are key challenges to evaluating UAP. No standardized replying mechanism existed until the Navy established one in March 2019. The Air Force subsequently adopted that mechanism in November 2020, but it remains limited to USG replying. The UAPTF regularly heard anecdotally doming its research about other observations that occulted but which were never captured in formal or informal reporting by those observers. focused on systems considered to be dependable. These reports describe incidents that occurred between 2004 and 2021, with the majority coming in the last two years as the new reporting mechanism became better known to the military aviation community. In only one instance, the UAPTF was able to identify the reported UAP with high confidence. In that case, we identified the object as a large, deflating balloon. The others remain explained. 144 reports originated from USG sources.
(U) UAP pose a hazard to safety of flight and could pose a broader danger if some instances represent sophisticated collection against U.S. military activities by a foreign government or demonstrate a breakthrough aerospace technology by a potential adversary

The initial focus will be to employ artificial intelligence/machine-learning algorithms to cluster and recognize similarities and patterns in features of the data points.

‘According to Sumerian writing advanced humanoid aliens visited and colonized Earth in remote history. They claim to upgrade our human genome and eventually mentored early humanity, teaching us some advanced skills, and also intermarrying with us. Modern humans are their children.
Genesis 6:4 of the Bible reads as follows: “The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.”
Researcher Zecharia Sitchin
Researcher Zecharia Sitchin claims research as presented in his books establishes that we are not evolutionary apes, but the theory of ancient aliens is the best, most scientific and logically reasonable theory, but also the correct one. My work has found much more compelling logic in support of the Anunnaki Legacy of astronauts visiting Earth.
Zecharia SitchiZecharia Sitchin is an Icon and was a pioneer of legendary proportion. History will one day regard him as such. Like Galileo, Sitchin opened a new window of understanding. He may not have gotten every detail like the notion of the Anunnaki’s home planet, Niburu, being a renegade member of the Sun’s Solar System, but the main concept is on. Cynics can whine and cringe all they like, as do witches at the coming of dawn … but no one to my knowledge has ever successfully discredited Sitchin’s basic theory.
One of the richest sources for understanding the story of the last five to six thousand years of human history comes from religious records. Fortunately, many of these records are still available to us and useful. Unfortunately, we have to read these ancient documents through 21st Century vision to get past all of the cumulative errors, editing, misunderstanding and misinterpretations, compounded through the ages by our misguided human ancestors. But, if you study the material available closely, and with an open mind … a bigger-unifying story clearly emerges from it all. In short, each of the major religions of today’s world are either a direct or indirect descendent of the oldest major civilization – Sumer and its recorded history and story of cosmology as found in the Enuma Elish, what I refer to as the Anunnaki Legacy. The Anunnaki Legacy and Ancient Alien Theory are one-in-the-same. Anunnaki is the name of the advanced alien civilization that colonized Earth thousands of years ago, created, mentored, and then interbred with our early ancestors resulting in modern people. To put all of this religious history in proper perspective took a lot of explanation, but it was critical to support my conclusions.
Reincarnation, or more precisely –that all biological things have a dual nature – the physical mortal body and a separate immortal spirit or “soul” … which survives physical death … is a very old and basic area of human understanding. Both Western religion and science have done their best to purge this natural process from modern understanding. The problem for them is … evidence of reincarnation and duality both establish a firm case for the natural existence of human consciousness apart from the physical body – a heresy for scientific materialism, Universal Intelligence is a reality. Human consciousness is the direct link and means of understanding this simple fact of life. Science fears this knowledge, has a need to control it for their own devices.
The oldest written record available to us today is the cuneiform clay-tablet Sumerian Library of Ashurbanipal, an ancient-historical Babylonian ruler. This library was unearthed by archeologists in modern Iraq at the turn of the last century. One of the books in the collection brought back to light was the Enuma Elish.
The Enuma Elish is a recorded history of the Sumerian civilization
This is the oldest advanced culture mainstream science has verified to date (4000-6000 BC). The belief that Sumer was the oldest civilization is currently being taught in our school systems. The problem is the mainstream do not presently accept or teach that the early history of man found in the Enuma Elish as factual and regard this early part as myth. The first part is the Anunnaki Legacy.
To the Establishment’s chagrin, when you study Sumerian history with 21st century eyes two things become strikingly evident. First, many of the stories that would later be written into the chronicles of the major religions that followed – Hindu, Egyptian, Babylonian, Greco/Roman and the biblical Genesis, were simply a retelling of the stories which originated in the Enuma Elish and other Sumerian records. These would include the Golden Age, Flood Story, and a War of the Gods. If you have an open mind and study all of the earliest religious material, unimpeachable evidence for it speaks loudly for itself, in spite of claims to the contrary from biblical and theological circles.
In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
Growing number of informed people are convinced mainstream science, education and the media establishments do suppress a good
amount of important new discovery and modern information on legitimate phenomena like UFO’s. How do you challenge this dogma and close-mindedness? By challenging them directly. Badger the mainstream into putting-up or shutting-up. I offered several very doable specific challenges for mainstream science, archeology, and historians. Here is just one example … Many of your readers will be familiar with the ancient, giant, intricately cut H-blocks at Puma Panko in Bolivia. The Establishment insists they were carved and constructed from quarries, over 22 miles of mountainous terrain away by the Indigenous primitive Amerindian tribes with stone chisels, ropes, timbers, and brute force.
Puma Punku in Bolivia.
I challenge them to either put up or reconsider. It would not be that difficult or unreasonable to send teams of archeological and engineering students from major colleges to Bolivia for a summer experiment. Have them go to the quarry, dislodge a rough stone from its source, transport it to Puma Punku and reproduce an exact replica of the original H-blocks, using only the methods claimed by mainstream science that were available 1500 years ago. I maintain it cannot be done. Until it is done as they claim, it’s simply a working hypothesis and a lame one at that. By the dictates of established science, if you have no direct evidence to support your hypothesis it cannot be elevated to “theory.” Slam Dunk.
Quimbayan, Columbia Jets
Puma Punku’s existence is not only the most important archeological site in the world, but also, along with Baalbek in modern Lebanon. And the Quimbayan, Bolivia Jets, represents the best physical evidence we have in support of The Anunnaki Legacy. Ancient Aliens TV segment set out to “prove” the artifacts were rooted in representations of ancient aircraft. before 2000 years ago. It is tragic and borderline dishonest that a major news source has never done a feature story or TV program on Puma Punku, Bolivia or Baalbek, Lebanon. To their credit, while derided by the science establishment, the History Channel has featured Puma Punku. What does CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX all fear? The answer is simple. Conventional explanations of history and evolution simply will not work at these locations and many others around the world. Fresh new thinking is demanded.
Roger Thomas states, “I have read all of the world’s great philosophers, both ancient and more contemporary. Of them all, Confucius is my favorite. His major points are all short, simple to relate to for everyone, and timeless. You don’t need to have a great intellect to learn from him. A good deal of Confucius’ philosophy has to do with personal responsibility and the ideal format for a true democratic government and egalitarian society – one which would best benefit all peoples and social classes.”
2500 years later, in 1776, Confucius’ vision finally took real form in the constitution of the United States. During its first 150 years American citizens used the gift of self-governance to create the most prosperous, successful, and generous civilization in human history. During the last 50 years or so, we have surrendered our authority and given it back to the bankers, wealthy families and multi-national corporations formerly known as the kings, royalty, clergy, and merchants. What happened? We controlled our own destiny, but over the last three generations too many of our citizens couldn’t handle it and traded it back in return for government largess. That is the Confucian Paradox.
Confucius
Somehow, we must find the collective will to regain control and hold on to it. Government must obey the people not the reverse. Understanding the real history of humanity is the first requirement. Too many people are apathetic and just plain lazy about coming to terms with the changes brought about by modern advances. So too are we equally challenged to consider Confucius the story of history. That is why the Anunnaki Legacy is not more widely known or accepted. We need to support and guide them with fresh thinking. Thanks to Roger Thomas.
Human origins remain unclear given studies of known fossils, concludes a new Science review. Today, our last common ancestor with the apes remains unknown as debate rages on. The study’s lead author, Sergio Almécija, a senior research scientist in the American Museum of Natural History’s Division of Anthropology, says there’s no agreement.
“When you look at the narrative for hominin origins, it’s just a big mess—there’s no consensus whatsoever,” said Almécija. “
The Core of the Human Origins Problem
‘Chimp has 70% of human like DNA
Between about 9.3 million and 6.5 million years ago, scientists believed humans diverged from the chimpanzee lineage. Today, chimpanzees and bonobos are our closest living relatives, sharing 99% of our DNA. That’s absolutely fact, although humans still seem intent to destroy our close relative’s natural environments. Some scientists think there is a missing chimp-like knuckle-walking ancestor that led to hominins. Others suspect it’s more likely an ancestor evolved from a species resembling Miocene apes.
Top-Down versus Bottom-Up
Taking a “top-down” approach, some scientists study chimpanzees to attempt to reconstruct hominin origins. Others use a “bottom-up” approach, focusing on the fossil record of mostly extinct apes. Now, reconciling these two approaches “remains at the core of the human origins problem,” the study states.
After the review, the scientists believe it’s “likely that the last shared ape ancestor had its own set of traits, different from those of modern humans and modern apes.”
Therefore, an essential part of the picture remains missing. Missing Part of the Picture
Ape Human
Study author Ashley Hmmond says “—it is clear that a human evolutionary story based on the few ape species currently alive is missing much of the bigger picture,” said Hammond.
“Early hominins likely originated in Africa from a Miocene LCA that does not match any living ape. Despite phylogenetic uncertainties, fossil apes remain essential to reconstruct the ‘starting point’ from which humans and chimpanzees evolved,” states the study. So how come our bodies are so flawed? Why does sharp vision so often elude us, for instance? Why do our backs hurt, hearing fails so frequently?
Darwin’s Theory 150 Years Later
Some 150 years ago, Darwin introduced “In the Descent of Man,” suggesting our origins came from an unknown ancestor in Africa. Today, Darwin’s speculation has been backed up with many discoveries of extinct fossils, but so far, none have proven to be the indisputable missing link. DNA confirms that our closest living biological relatives are chimpanzees and bonobos a type of ape, bit we are also have DNA similar to cows. S. Humans share genes with all living organisms, and some are closer than others. Paleontologists for some reason have ignored the possibility of intervention by extraterrestrials. They admit thousands even millions of mutations would be required to develop cells from the primordial soup to fish, primitive land creatures, then apes to hominids or primitive man. We know now that our DNA molecule is probably the most efficient information storage system in the entire universe.
The immensity of complex coded and precisely sequenced information written on the DNA is amazing. The evidence speaks of intelligent, information-bearing design. Complex DNA coding would have been necessary for even the hypothetical first ‘so-called’ simple cell(s).
Your single cell is as Complicated as NY City
A single cell is unbelievably complex being roughly equivalent to New York City in a bubble or the outer membrane of one cell. As we move in closer to examine the cell we see the huge buildings, roads, subways, bridges, auto traffic that represent the various parts of the human cell. As we move closer inside the various buildings we find a network of electrical wiring, heating and air conditioning systems, elevators carrying people. Inside the offices are millions of computers and electrical wiring systems. Now you have an idea of the complexity of one of the single cells in your body, that can duplicate itself in minutes.
Francis Crick the founder of DNA feels a spaceship or meteorites brought the DNA to Earth. Francis Crick proposed, in a book called “Life Itself,” that some form of primordial life was shipped to the earth billions of years ago in spaceships—by supposedly ‘more evolved’ (therefore advanced) alien beings. This concept basically infers that life, DNA, virus, bacteria, bombarded Earth from space aboard meteorites and comets.
The source said the alien species lives inside mountains, under the earth and sea in deep caverns.
Alleged Nordic Alien wirh Blue Eyes
The source expressed his belief that the ETs have a great deal of control over the planet and its inhabitants. He said the aliens have links to Mars, Sirius, and Zeta Reticule. The aliens living on Earth look remarkably similar to humans as shown above. They regularly study humans and take sperm, DNA, and other bodily samples.
Is it possible we are a product of an ancient alien species that continues to study, observe, and manipulate humans for reasons we don’t know? One probable reason is our immunity to several types of bacteria and viruses that could kill the visitors.
Paul Christian reports, “UFO hacker Gary McKinnon claims he has been seeing data on Non-Terrestrial Officers and spaceships conducting a military computer hack around Fort Meade and other facilities. At the Johnson Space Centre Gary spied on photographs of cigar-shaped objects that might have been UFOs but – he says – they were probably satellites. “You end up lusting after more and more complex security measures,” he says. “It was like a game a computer games. It was hugely addictive.” There were hackers from many nations snooping around every night for the entire five to seven years I was doing this.
He claims, “I found a list of officers’ names under the heading ‘Non-Terrestrial Officers’ and a list of ‘fleet-to-fleet transfers,’ and a list of ship names.
I looked them up. They weren’t US Navy ships. What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceships, off-planet. “Apparently there is a secret military astronaut corps, and the U.S. operates a fleet of antigravity space capable aerospace vehicles, although “I was smoking a lot of dope at the time. Not good for the intellect.” Allegedly the names of two of the ships are the General Curtis LeMay and Vice- Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter.

Bob Lazar claims that during his employment at S-4 facility in Nevada, he briefly witnessed an Aurora flight while aboard a bus near Groom Lake. He claimed that there was a “tremendous roar” as he saw a very large aircraft having “two huge, square exhausts with vanes in them.,” Lazar claims he was informed that the aircraft was indeed an “Aurora, a high-altitude research plane powered by liquid methane.

Aberdeen Press and Journal writer Nic Outterside wrote a piece on US stealth technology in. He alleged RAF/USAF Machrihanish two-mile-long long runway near Campbeltown, Argyll, Scotland to be a base for Aurora aircraft. Rumors from the secret hypersonic spy plane “Aurora” being operated from the base, to the other extreme of crashed UFO’s being dismantled and reversed engineered at the base ‘Oceanic Air Traffic Control at Prestwick’ Outterside says, ‘Tracked fast-moving radar blips at Mach 3 to 6. In 2006, aviation writer Bill Sweetman put together 20 years of examining the black budget concluded: “I learned how to sort out where money was going. This year, when I looked at the Air Force operations budget in detail, I found a $9-billion black hole that seems a perfect fit for a project like Aurora.”[4]
Former President Ronald Reagan who alluded to a highly classified space fleet in a June 11, 1985, entry in his diaries where he revealed that “Our shuttle capacity is such that we could orbit 300 people.”
Lockheed’s Ben Rich
William Hamilton wrote, “Rich Andrews was a close personal friend of Lockheed’s Skunk Works CEO Ben Rich. Before Rich died of cancer, Andrews took my questions to him. Rich confirmed: There are two types of UFOs — the ones we build, and ones THEY build. We learned from both crash retrievals and actual “Hand-me-downs.” The Government knew, and until 1969 took an active hand in the administration of that information. After a 1969 Nixon “Purge”, administration was managed by an international board of directors in the private sector. “‘An’ item” — as opposed to “‘The’ item” — was recovered near the world’s only combat operational atom bomb base (Roswell AAF) in 1947. Hull design, aerodynamic measurements and propulsion info was passed directly to Jack Northrop and Kelly Johnson, beginning in 1950, with a major block of data being passed on from “The Working Group” at Wright Patterson AFB’s Foreign Technologies Division in 1952. Ben Rich claimed “We can take ET home.”
Testimony of Mr. John Maynard
While at the DIA, I saw some documents that pertained to extraterrestrials. They were code worded. A normal person reading it may not catch it — it would go right on beyond them. These were Top Secret documents. I imagine most of them are still classified. A lot of them pertained to Salt 1 and Salt 2 — the strategic arms limitation treaties with Russia.
I also saw pictures of UFOs from; I believe it was called the National Intelligence Photographic Center [NIPC], in Arlington. Once in a while an anomaly would show up on the pictures that didn’t belong there — a round object, a triangular object.

The former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen established this specific area of emphasis to highlight “the space domain’s emergence as an environment where US superiority has been and will continue to be challenged.”
Along with its sister branch, the U.S. Air Force, the Space Force is part of the Department of the Air Force, one of the three civilian-led military departments within the Department of Defense. The Space Force, through the Department of the Air Force, is overseen by the secretary of the Air Force, a civilian political appointee who reports to the secretary of defense, and is appointed by the president with Senate confirmation.[10] The military head of the Space Force is the chief of space operations who is typically the most senior Space Force officer. The chief of space operations exercises supervision over the Space Force’s units and serves as one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Space Force is the smallest U.S. armed service, consisting of 8,400 military personnel and operating 77 spacecraft. Major spacecraft and systems include the Space Fence, Global Positioning System constellation, military satellite communications constellations, Boeing X-37B spaceplane, U.S. missile warning system, U.S. space surveillance network, and the Satellite Control Network. Under the Goldwater–Nichols Act, the Space Force is responsible for organizing, training, and equipping space forces. The U.S. Space Force traces its roots to the beginning of the Cold War, with the first Army Air Forces space programs starting in 1945. In 1954, the Western Development Division, under General Bernard Schriever, was established as the first dedicated space organization within the U.S. Armed Forces .
Alleged Space Force Spaceship
The triangles were kind of funny, with a rounded corner on the tail end of it. These were taken most generally with the Talent Keyhole Satellites, and they would show these UFOs in them. They would be objects from the TK11, TK12 shots that were taken, that showed the anomalies. Sometimes you could actually track it, photograph by photograph as it moved across the sky.
I received the code name to go in the Omni Project that dealt with radar satellites. I was talking with a director showing satellite’s positioning. I said, “Thissystem tracks radar anomalies on Earth, why are half of them pointed towards outer space? He said, “Well you got to have a need to know to know about that. We were tracking stuff from outer space.”
I also did collaborate with the Camp David accords and assigning the SR-71s, the Blackbird, to map that had been accompanied by UFOs. Thaks to the-“Disclosure Project”

Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and aviators who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at airfields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.
Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book, by John L. Guerra.

Five Lights Over Othello, Washington July 12, 2022, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Five Lights Over Othello, Washington July 12, 2022, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 12, 2022
Location of sighting: Othello, Washington, USA
I had to watch this video several times to verify that the orange lights were not a reflection off the drivers windshield. If you look carefully, you will see the lights go behind the trees at the 51 second mark. That is 100% proof it is outside the car and is behind the trees in the distance. Very interesting.

Eyewitness states:
I was on my way home when I looked up ahead and say a group of lights hovering over a farm shop near my home. As I got closer to the shop the lights kept the same height but started moving. I have a video of me trying to record what I was seeing as I have never seen lights like these, I have seen planes pass by but none that look like these as these did not flash or blink I even rolled my window down and slowed my vehicle down, weirdly there was no noise. The more I continued driving the more they kept moving still at the same height. As I got home they stopped and kept hovering over the nearest home by mine I took one last picture and went inside, couple minutes later I went outside again and there was nothing.
Guys check this out, finally a great UFO report comes in...I've been waiting and waiting fore weeks. This is it. A pilot who works for a major airline has his first UFO sighting...and its of a white sphere...which is th #1 most common UFO in the world. This UFO is also known from WWI and WWII as a foo fighter, which was famous for following planes during the wars. This is some amazing and rare footage of a real UFO. The eyewitness credentials are impeccable and he is clearly an expert in his field of being a pilot with years of experience. This is 100% undeniable proof that UFOs are following jets and curious about those aboard them.
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
I am an airline pilot with a major airline in the United States. I am a former military pilot. When: August 12, 2022, over a 35 minute period from approximately 0055-0130 ET (0455-0530 UTC).
Where: At the first sighting we were approximately over the city of Wilmington, NC. At last sighting we were approximately over Richmond, VA. We were traveling almost due north and the objects were directly in front of us. It was impossible to tell exactly where the objects were; in the 35+ minutes we were watching them they never seemed to get closer. Narrative: We took off from St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands for a 4-hour flight to Washington Dulles airport. We departed at 2202 ET and landed at 0148 ET. At roughly 0055 ET I began seeing slow pulses of light in the sky directly in front of us (to our north). The pulses would last usually 8-10 seconds each and had gaps of darkness lasting anywhere from 10 seconds to over a minute. They were slowly moving from left to right. The pulses would be gradual (start very dim and grow into a bright light about the brightness of Venus, and then fade away).
As an airline pilot, I am positive I was not seeing other airliners. Very few civilian aircraft can fly above 41,000 feet, and the objects were about 10 degrees above the horizon from our perspective. I was not able to tell the distance of the object from our aircraft, but in the 35+ minutes we watched, they never seemed to get any closer even though we covered about 250 nautical miles in that time. For this reason I believe they were in either the upper atmosphere or in space. After a few minutes of watching, the Captain (who until this point had been very quiet) asked me if I was seeing the lights. I said yes and we started discussing what they could be. I started filming and taking photos at this point. We began seeing 2 lights at a time, often at different altitudes, but always moving generally from left to right when the pulse was at its peak. At one point we watched 2 lights flying in “formation”, almost side by side. When I looked very carefully, I could see the lights even after the pulse faded, but it was very dim and would sometimes fade away completely. When the pulse was dim they lights seemed to be traveling to the left. For a brief time we saw 3 objects at one time. At no point did we see a strobe light or navigation lights on the objects. The best way to describe what we saw is 2-3 aircraft circling in left hand turns with their landing lights on, which means that they were only clearly visible when the lights were facing towards us. Because we were flying towards Washington DC we discussed the possibility it was fighter aircraft flying circles over the city due to a security threat. This was clearly not the case however, because we were 300+ miles from DC when we spotted them, and they never seemed to get closer as we neared the city. They also were far higher in elevation than modern fighters can fly, and there would be no reason to have their landing lights on in that phase of flight. Additionally, fighter aircraft have their landing lights mounted within their landing gear which would have been retracted, and therefore could not have been visible.
As a former fighter/attack pilot I am extremely familiar with capabilities of modern aircraft, have trained in CAP (protecting locations from aerial threats) and I am 100% we were not seeing military aircraft or flares. I have spent a lot of time wondering if they could have been a train of Starlink satellites, and the light pulses were sunlight reflecting off the satellites. I don’t think this is the case, for the following reasons. We spotted them in the middle of the night; 5 hours after sunset, when it is less likely to spot satellites. We also saw the pulses an estimated 80+ times, and we only stopped seeing them due to us descending into the clouds. From looking online, starlink trains are typically 40-60 satellites. The sighting also lasted 35+ minutes, which is far longer than a satellite train. I believe it was the same 2-3 objects the entire time, and they were flying in circles. Lastly, the objects appeared to be flying in circles, which is not characteristic of satellites.
This is my first sighting. I have 4 videos and several photos. Unfortunately, they were taken from my iphone, at night. You can see the pulses, but the relative motion is difficult to make out. In one video I filmed my displays, which shows my altitude, and location.

Mysterious 5.2 mile-wide crater found in Atlantic Ocean off the coast of west Africa may have been left by the baby cousin of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago
Mysterious 5.2 mile-wide crater found in Atlantic Ocean off the coast of west Africa may have been left by the baby cousin of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago
Impact crater around the same age as one left by dinosaur killer has been found
Dubbed Nadir Crater, new feature discovered off coast of Guinea in west Africa
The site sits almost 1,000ft below the seabed and has a diameter of 5.2 miles
Experts think asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs may have had a companion
A mysterious crater found in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of west Africa may have been left by the baby cousin of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, scientists say.
Dubbed the Nadir Crater, the new feature was discovered 248 miles (400km) off the coast of Guinea in west Africa.
It sits around 1,000ft (300m) below the seabed and has a diameter of 5.2 miles (8.5km).
The impact site is not as big as the Chicxulub crater in Mexico, which was left by the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, but it is of a very similar age.
It has raised questions about whether Earth was hit by more than one space rock during that cataclysmic period in natural history.
If confirmed, it would also be of great scientific interest, because it would be one of a small number of known marine asteroid impacts, so may offer new insights into what happens during such a collision.
The depression was identified by Dr Uisdean Nicholson, from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, who has been analysing seismic survey data to better understand past climatic changes on Earth.
Researchers believe they identified a second asteroid that hit around the same time as the big one that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. The second one, named Nadir crater, is much smaller that Chicxulub

KEY FEATURES OF THE NADIR CRATER
Located:248 miles (400km) off the coast of Guinea in west Africa
Depth: 1,000ft (300m) below the seabed
Diameter: 5.2 miles (8.5km
Size of asteroid: 1,300ft (400m)
Cousin? Chicxulub crater
'These surveys are kind of like an ultrasound of Earth. I've spent probably the last 20 years interpreting them, but I've never seen anything like this,' Dr Nicholson told BBC News.
'Nadir's shape is diagnostic of an asteroid impact.
'It's got a raised rim surrounding a central uplift area, and then layers of debris that extend outwards.'
The crater is just over 5 miles (8km) wide, and Dr Nicholson believes it was was likely caused by an asteroid more than 1,300ft (400m) wide smashing into the Earth's crust.
This, therefore, was much smaller than the city-sized space rock that caused the 100-mile-wide Chicxulub crater.
'Our simulations suggest this crater was caused by the collision of a 400m-wide asteroid in 500-800m of water,' said Dr Veronica Bray from the University of Arizona.
'This would have generated a tsunami over one kilometre high, as well as an earthquake of Magnitude 6.5 or so.

The depression (pictured) was identified by Dr Uisdean Nicholson, from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, who has been analysing seismic survey data to better understand past climatic changes on Earth
'The energy released would have been around 1,000 times greater than that from the January 2022 eruption and tsunami in Tonga.'
Nadir was identified using 'seismic reflection' as part of a wider project to reconstruct the tectonic separation of South America from Africa back in the Cretaceous period.
To be certain the crater was caused by an asteroid strike, Dr Nicholson said that scientists will need to drill into the the crater and test minerals from its floor.
However, it has all the hallmarks experts would expect, including the right ratio of crater width to depth, the height of the rims, and the height of the central uplift.
The latter is a mound in the centre created by rock and sediment forced up by the shock pressure.
The discovery of the Nadir Crater feature has been published in the journal Science Advances.
KILLING OFF THE DINOSAURS: HOW A CITY-SIZED ASTEROID WIPED OUT 75 PER CENT OF ALL ANIMAL AND PLANT SPECIES
Around 66 million years ago non-avian dinosaurs were wiped out and more than half the world's species were obliterated.
This mass extinction paved the way for the rise of mammals and the appearance of humans.
The Chicxulub asteroid is often cited as a potential cause of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.
The asteroid slammed into a shallow sea in what is now the Gulf of Mexico.
The collision released a huge dust and soot cloud that triggered global climate change, wiping out 75 per cent of all animal and plant species.
Researchers claim that the soot necessary for such a global catastrophe could only have come from a direct impact on rocks in shallow water around Mexico, which are especially rich in hydrocarbons.
Within 10 hours of the impact, a massive tsunami waved ripped through the Gulf coast, experts believe.

This caused earthquakes and landslides in areas as far as Argentina.
While investigating the event researchers found small particles of rock and other debris that was shot into the air when the asteroid crashed.
Called spherules, these small particles covered the planet with a thick layer of soot.
Experts explain that losing the light from the sun caused a complete collapse in the aquatic system.
This is because the phytoplankton base of almost all aquatic food chains would have been eliminated.
It's believed that the more than 180 million years of evolution that brought the world to the Cretaceous point was destroyed in less than the lifetime of a Tyrannosaurus rex, which is about 20 to 30 years.
Was er nog een tweede asteroïde die dinosauriërs op dezelfde dag uitroeide?
66 miljoen jaar geleden sloeg een asteroïde in op de aarde, op de plaats die we nu kennen als de Golf van Mexico. De impact was zo enorm dat de dinosaurussen werden uitgeroeid. Maar mogelijk was er die dag nog een tweede inslag, aan de overkant van de Atlantische Oceaan.
Voor de kust van Guinee is een soortgelijke krater ontdekt als die in het Mexicaanse Chicxulub. De nieuwe krater is ongeveer even oud en kreeg de naam Nadirkrater. Hij bevindt zich meer dan 300 meter onder de zeebodem en ongeveer 400 km voor de kust van Guinee in West-Afrika. De Nadirkrater is kleiner dan de Mexicaanse, maar lijkt toch ook op een catastrofale gebeurtenis te wijzen. Op basis van de diameter van de Nadirkrater van 8,5 km had de verantwoordelijke asteroïde vermoedelijk een doorsnede van ruim 400 meter.
Het was Uisdean Nicholson van de Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh die de verborgen West-Afrikaanse krater ontdekte. De wetenschapper onderzocht seismische gegevens, op zoek naar een plek om te kunnen boren en zo meer inzicht te verwerven in de klimaatveranderingen op aarde uit het verleden. Bij zo’n analyses worden de verschillende lagen van de ondergrond tot een diepte van vaak enkele kilometers in kaart gebracht.
“Die onderzoeken zijn een soort echografie van de aarde”, aldus Nicholson aan BBC News. Hij besteedde zowat de laatste 20 jaar aan de interpretatie ervan. “Maar zoiets als dit heb ik nog nooit gezien”, beweert hij. “De vorm van Nadir is kenmerkend voor een asteroïde-inslag. Het heeft een opstaande rand rond een centraal opwaarts gebied, en dan lagen puin die zich naar buiten uitstrekken.”
Ter vergelijking: de asteroïde die de Chicxulubkrater in de Golf van Mexico heeft doen ontstaan, was naar schatting 12 km in doorsnee. De krater is maar liefst 200 km breed. De inslag veroorzaakte zware aardschokken, tsunami’s en een wereldwijde vuurstorm. Er werd zoveel stof de lucht in geslingerd dat de aarde in een diepe vrieskou terecht kwam. De dinosaurussen overleefden de klimaatschok niet.
In het geval van de Nadir-asteroïde zouden de gevolgen niet zó groot zijn geweest, maar toch nog “een tsunami van meer dan een kilometer hoog hebben gegenereerd, en een aardbeving met een magnitude van 6.5 of zo”, volgens Veronica Bray van de Universiteit van Arizona. “De vrijgekomen energie zou ongeveer 1.000 keer groter zijn geweest dan die van de uitbarsting en tsunami in Tonga in januari 2022", vermoedt ze.
Verder onderzoek van de Nadirkrater is nodig - op basis van gesteenten uit de krater zelf en niet die uit een nabijgelegen boorgat - om de ouderdom ervan preciezer te kunnen bepalen en om te bevestigen dat het inderdaad om de inslag van een asteroïde gaat.
Wetenschappers zijn voorzichtig om deze gebeurtenis te koppelen aan de inslag in Chicxulub, ook al is de speculatie rond een mogelijke cluster van inslagen door grote ruimtestenen in het verleden niet nieuw. Zo wordt niet uitgesloten dat de Boltisjkrater in Oekraïne eveneens op een of andere manier verband houdt met de Chicxulubgebeurtenis.
Volgens professor Sean Gulick van de universiteit van Texas in Austin kan de West-Afrikaanse krater op dezelfde dag zijn ontstaan als de Chicxulubkrater, maar zal die ons niet rechtstreeks iets bijleren over het lot van de dino’s. “Een veel kleiner neefje of zusje voegt niet noodzakelijk iets toe aan wat we weten over het uitsterven van de dinosauriërs, maar wel aan ons begrip van de astronomische gebeurtenis die Chicxulub was”. Zo stelt de expert zich onder meer de vraag, die nog moet worden onderzocht: “Was Chicxulub een dubbele asteroïde waarbij een kleiner object in een baan om een groter object draaide?”

R136 is the Most Massive Star Astronomers Have Ever Found. We Just got Some new Images of it
R136 is the Most Massive Star Astronomers Have Ever Found. We Just got Some new Images of it
Meet R136a1, the most mass star known. Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, it’s a hulking behemoth weighing somewhere between 150 and 200 times the mass of the Sun. Understanding the upper limit of stars helps astronomers peace together everything from the life cycles of stars to the histories of galaxies.
A team of astronomers havestudied in detailthe star cluster known as R136. This star cluster is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud about 150,000 light-years from Earth. The star cluster itself is huge, featuring many incredibly bright newborn stars.
Based on the image the astronomers were able to estimate the masses of some of the stars including R136a1, which they estimate has a mass somewhere between 150 and 200 times the mass of the Sun. This latest estimate is significantly lower than previous estimates of this same star. Despite that new estimate, however, R136a1 still has a surface temperature eight times hotter than the Sun and a radius forty times bigger.
It’s likely that R136a1 represents one of the most massive stars in the universe. Stars form in a variety of sizes, from red dwarfs a tenth the mass of the Sun to these giants that would put our home star to shame. Understanding how common supergiant stars are helps astronomers understand their formation mechanisms. After all, you need a lot of gas collapsing in a very brief amount of time in order to form a giant star like this. And since there are so massive they do not live long, so they are that much more difficult to detect.
Galaxies live their lives constantly turning out generation after generation of stars. The ability to make large stars depends on the existence of previous generations. This is because when stars die they release their fused heavy elements out into the interstellar medium. Those heavy elements help other clouds of gas cool quickly to collapse and form bigger stars without fragmenting into many smaller ones.
The more we learn about giant stars like R136a1, the more we learn about the history of galaxies
James Fox, producer of the groundbreaking UFO documentary 'The Phenomenon' (2020) says his team have uncovered images and video of an extraterrestrial being, filmed by the Brazilian military.
Promoting his new documentary 'Moment of Contact' he speaks on the investigative work being done in an attempt to uncover one of our greatest secrets.
Hopefully it's not a marketing stunt and what he says is true that he has photo and video evidence of alien bodies in his possession, the question is whether he is going to publish the evidence of the alien bodies or whether he will be forced to hand it over to the military.
Below the trailer for the documentary it is about "Moments of contact"
Moment of Contact is about an exploration of extraterrestrial encounters, this one centered on a series of events in 1996 when citizens of Varginha, Brazil, reported seeing one or more strange creatures and a UFO crash.
A number of locals, including a group of girls ranging in age from 14-21, had a close encounter with a being described as about 4 feet tall, with brown oily skin, a large head and huge red eyes.
The town of Varginha was cordoned off by military and emergency response teams and two creatures were captured.
Local military policeman Marco Cherese died under mysterious circumstances after allegedly handling one of the creatures.
Fox’s documentary features interviews with key eyewitnesses, experts and officials including nuclear physicist and professional ufologist Stanton Friedman, Brazilian Air Force General Jose Carlos Pereira, Brazilian ufologist Ademar Jose Gevaerd. Peter Coyote.

The Military slowly removing the history of UFOs as it enables them to continue to pretend that there’s no cover-up
The Military slowly removing the history of UFOs as it enables them to continue to pretend that there’s no cover-up
The Tic Tac UFO encounter of 2004 is rightly considered to be a very important event. Unfortunately, too much of our public discourse relating to UFOs or UAP now only focuses on encounters from that point onward.
But very little of the incredible rich story of 20th century UFOs is ever discussed in mainstream/establishment venues.
Removing the history of UFOs is important for the military, as it enables them to continue to pretend that there’s no cover-up, no conspiracy.
In fact, there is overwhelming evidence that the US military has been deeply engaged in the matter of UFOs for 80 years.
The above image of a UFO was just released this month (August 2022). The so-called Calvin image showing a 100ft UFO was kept secret and being withheld from the public for 30 years by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) before a retired RAF officer who secretly kept a copy of the photograph decided to release the infamous image.
