The Record for the Farthest Galaxy just got Broken Again, now just 250 million years after the Big Bang
The Record for the Farthest Galaxy just got Broken Again, now just 250 million years after the Big Bang
In a recent study that was submitted to MNRAS, a collaborative research team made use of the first batch of data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to identify a galaxy candidate, CEERS-93316, that formed roughly 250 million years after the Big Bang and that also set a new redshift record of z = 16.7. This discovery is really exciting since it shows the strength of JWST, which has only recently started returning its first round of data. Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey, or CEERS, was developed especially for imaging with JWST.
Postage stamp images of CEERS-93316 from their respective JWST NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera) filters (F115W, F150W, F200W, F277W, F356W, and F444W).

“The past few weeks have been surreal, watching all the records that stood for a long time with Hubble be broken by JWST,” says Dr. Rebecca Bowler, who is an Ernest Rutherford Fellow at the University of Manchester, and a co-author on the study. “Finding a z = 16.7 galaxy candidate is an amazing feeling – it wasn’t something we were expecting from the early data.”
This new study references a dozen previous studies that have measured objects up to redshifts z ? 10 using a mixture of ground-based observations and with the Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope.
“It’s amazing to have found such a distant galaxy candidate already with Webb given that this is just the first set of data,” says Mr. Callum Donnan, a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, and lead author of the study. “It is important to note that to be certain of the redshift, the galaxy will need follow up observations using spectroscopy. This is why we refer to it as a galaxy candidate.”
The study determined that CEERS-93316 can’t be a low-mass star or unobstructed active galactic nucleus based on imaging data from NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera), which is JWST’s primary imager. Since CEERS-93316 is could be only 250 million years old, one goal for cosmologists is to know what’s happening in galaxies that young, and so soon after the Big Bang.
“After the Big Bang the Universe entered a period known as the dark ages, a time before any stars had been born,” explains Dr. Bowler. “The observations of this galaxy push observations back to the time when we think the first galaxies ever to exist were being formed. Already we’ve found more galaxies in the very early Universe than computer simulations predicted, so there is clearly a lot of open questions about how and when the first stars and galaxies formed.”
Given this incredible finding in just the first set of data from JWST, it’s intriguing to think how much father back in the universe this record-shattering space telescope can see, and whether it can see the Big Bang itself.
“In principle JWST can detect galaxies at redshifts greater than 20, less than 200 million years after the Big Bang,” explains Bowler. “These galaxies will likely be extremely hard to find, but the detection of CERRS 93316 gives us hope that they may exist. Watch this space!”
“The most distant phenomenon observed is the cosmic microwave background (CMB) which is the ‘afterglow’ of the Big Bang,” explains Donnan. “The light from the CMB comes from approximately 400,000 years after the Big Bang and has been observed by various instruments over the years – most notably the Planck satellite which launched in 2009. Webb won’t be able to see as far back as that, but it is able to probe the earliest stages of galaxy formation.”
While Donnan and Bowler both stated there are no further observations planned for CEERS-93316, they are hopeful that there will be in the future.
Redshift is part of what’s known as the Doppler effect, which astronomers use to measure distances in the universe. A frequent example to demonstrate the Doppler effect is the change in sound wave pitch as a loud object travels towards you then travels away from you, often by an ambulance or other first responder vehicle. The sound waves as the object travels towards you is known as blueshift, while the opposite is called redshift. This new study setting a new redshift record means scientists have measured the farthest object in the universe to date.
Retired Major General Wilfried De Brouwer reported in Leslie Kean's 2010 book UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record that he had examined further to see whether these objects may have been espionage flights performed by F-117 stealth aircraft or anything similar. He felt sure that this was not the case due to the described performances, which did not correspond to any known technological capability. He found it hard to imagine that any other country would fly experimental craft equipped with unknown technologies over a populated region without receiving formal permission.
However, he asked the American Embassy, which promptly responded that no Stealth flights or other experimental flights had flown over Belgium.
In his letter to me dated May 29, 1998, the late nuclear scientist Stanton Friedman stated the following about this case: "I have always maintained that the Belgian flap MIGHT have been new Earthling vehicles. It's in my gray basket."
As the UFO encounters and sightings by military aircrews have increased tremendously, US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence rebrands UFOs as “unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.” Expanding the definition to include objects in space and under the oceans significantly broadens the scope of investigating UFOs. Interestingly, few remember the UFO/Alien controversy surrounding Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, when one of three UFOs allegedly landed on the base early in May 1971.
However, as it is so often in such cases, instead of the government releasing a film of the entire incident to author/filmmaker Robert Emenegger as promised, it only released 8 seconds of this special footage that ultimately made it into the film. Holloman Air Force Base is the United States Air Force base established in 1942 and located six miles southwest of the central business district of Alamogordo, New Mexico.
It all began in 1971 when Emenegger and producer/director Allan Sandler were invited by the US intelligence (either the United States Air Force or Department of Defence) to Norton Air Force Base in California to discuss the major UFO phenomenon that had happened before and create a documentary film on it.
Robert Emenegger
There is no official record of the reason why the US government allowed to give secret UFO footage for a documentary film. It is believed that the administration of President Nixon did it to look strong in the science field for the upcoming 1972 re-election campaign.
Emenegger said that he was promised by the USAF officials to get the authentic UFO landing footage that happened at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico in 1971. It showed the alien visitors emerging out of the craft that met with the US military. Even though Emenegger was skeptical about it, the Air Force assured him that the footage was authentic.
One of the military’s officials named Paul Shartle, who was in charge of the audio-video department, said in a 1988 national television broadcast with Mike Farrell that he had watched the 16mm film of three disc-shaped craft. One of them landed and the others flew away.
“I saw footage of three disc-shaped crafts one of the crafts landed and two of them went away. It appeared to be in trouble because it oscillated all the way down to the ground. However, it did land on three pods, a sliding door open a ramp was extended, and out came three aliens. They were human-sized. They had an odd gray complexion and a pronounced nose. They wore tight-fitting jumpsuits, thin headdresses that appeared to be communication devices, and their hands in their hands they held a translator I was told.”
High Speed Test Track at Holloman Air Force Base
According to Emenegger, he even visited the landing site and checked the place where the alien vehicle was kept. The alien visitors and the US army personnel had meetings for several days.
Emenegger and his production team were provided access to top-secret files into DoD facilities and were even allowed to take help from the military officials who had been into the UFO matters, including Col. William Coleman from Project Blue Book and Col. George Weinbrenner, who was the head of Foreign Technology at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
Emenegger said that the landing took place at 6 a.m. The alien visitors had eyes with a vertical slit, and their mouths were thin and slitlike, with no chins. He was promised by the USAF to get 3200 feet film of UFO landing but at the last moment, they refused to use it due to the “Watergate Scandal.” Despite it, Emenegger and Sandler were asked to describe the Holloman episode as something hypothetical, which might happen in the future.
After months of research and film production, Emenegger felt cheated as the permission of using real footage was withdrawn. Anyway, he released his Golden Globe-nominated documentary, “UFOs: Past, Present, and Future” in 1974. It turned out to be groundbreaking due to the information provided by the DoD. The USAF forced Emenegger to add the animated footage of the alleged Holloman UFO landing.
As per Emenegger, the alleged real landing footage was not fully missing from the frames. He said some frames from the original footage were used in the reconstruction during the editing stage, which was authorized by the USAF. The viewers spotted a genuine bright disc coming down slowly in the distance against the backdrop of Holloman’s surrounding landscape.
At the Alien Cosmic Expo in Toronto in 2017, UFO researcher and author Grant Cameron held an interview in his hotel room to discuss (among many subjects) a film from 1974 at Holloman Air Force Base, which contained footage of a UFO landing.
Here is the transcript of key points Mr. Cameron said in an interview:
“I was involved in one of the key stories that confirms that they’re not covering up and that was the story of the holloman air force base film this is one of the stories I put on the book.
In 1973, they [Pentagon] go to Emenegger and Alan Sandler, two producers in Los Angeles. They ask them to do a UFO documentary. Emenegger who was a total ufo skeptic said what do you mean this is for real and at that point, the security manager Paul Shartle at Norton Air Force base said what would you say if I told you that we had an alien ship landed at air force base six o’clock in the morning in May of 1971 and we filmed it from three different vantage points two on the ground one in a helicopter and we will allow you to use the film for your documentary.”
“Then they put the documentary out and then I find out that there was eight seconds of the Holloman air force base UFO film in the documentary.” Mr. Cameron then called Emenegger, telling him about the 8-second of the film.
He [Emenegger] said: “But it didn’t show anything. You don’t see when the alien gets out that’s the classified part.” Mr. Cameron further said that the government allowed Emenegger to use the small clip to hint that the Holloman UFO incident happened, but the classified part was removed.
The film was re-released in 1979 after adding more UFO sightings and new information that included cattle mutilations. Jacques Vallée added 30 minutes of new narration into the film, talking about ancient astronaut theory.
NASA Just Saw Something Come Out Of A Black Hole For The First Time Ever
NASA Just Saw Something Come Out Of A Black Hole For The First Time Ever
µ
You don’t need to be an expert in science to understand that black holes often pull things in rather than spit them out. However, NASA has just discovered something quite weird around the supermassive black hole Markarian 335.
Two NASA satellite telescopes, including the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), witnessed a black hole’s corona being “launched” away from a supermassive black hole. Then a huge burst of X-ray energy emitted. So, what precisely happened? That is what scientists are currently trying to understand.
“This is the first time we have been able to link the launching of the corona to a flare,” Dan Wilkins, of Saint Mary’s University, said. “This will help us understand how supermassive black holes power some of the brightest objects in the universe.”
Fiona Harrison, NuSTAR’s primary investigator, stated that the nature of the energy source is a “mystery,” but that the ability to actually capture the event should offer some indications about the black hole’s size and structure, as well as (hopefully) some new insight into how black holes work. This black hole, fortunately for us, is still 324 million light-years distant.
So, whatever bizarre things it does, it shouldn’t have any influence on our little part of the cosmos.
Timing is everything in comedy, but it may come as a surprise to find it makes a big impact in the world of UFOs as well. Take, for example, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, passed recently to authorize funding, provide legal authorities, and enhance congressional oversight for the U.S. Intelligence Community, which includes the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) which was recently established in the Department of Defense to investigate the numerous encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena – and more, as we shall see – that military personnel have been reporting lately. Some people who have dug deeply into this budget report found that the wording implies the U.S. government believes some of these UAPs may not be human-made. Now for the “timing is everything” part. A commercial airline pilot on a flight ironically to Washington DC recently reported an encounter with foo fighter UFOs – those strange glowing orbs first reported following pilots during World War II. Are some extraterrestrials trying to tell the U.S. government that “we know you’re watching us so we’re watching you”? Is timing everything in other star systems too?
A Tic Tac UFO of the non-transmedium kind
“Cross-domain transmedium threats to the United States national security are expanding exponentially.”
In an article on the hidden agenda inside the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, Vice.com points out that it appears the U.S. government is very concerned about one particular type of unidentified object that has been showing up in the videos taken by Navy pilots during encounters and finally being released and grudgingly verified by the Pentagon as being authentic military videos of … something. Accordiing the IAA budget, those are the Tic Tac ufos that were first spotted flying fast and low over the ocean, then suddenly and seamlessly disappearing into the water without making a ripple or breaking apart – two things that all known human technology attempting that kind of maneuver would do at that high speed. This implies that the government probably knows that most of the other UAPs seen by pilots and picked up by radar are super-advanced drones or aircraft of the human-made kind. In another part of the IAA budget, Vice.com found this:
“Temporary nonattributed objects, or those that are positively identified as man-made after analysis, will be passed to appropriate offices and should not be considered under the definition as unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.”
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to follow the logic in that statement – objects seen by military personnel that are positively identified as being human-made go in the “Human-Made” file cabinet, while the transmedium “unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena” go in a non-human-made file cabinet. Could this have been a mistake or clerical error that slipped by the government fact-checkers putting together the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023? An article on the subject in The Hill doesn’t think so.
“It strains credulity to believe that lawmakers would include such extraordinary language in public legislation without compelling evidence. Perhaps members have seen the classified sensor data that prompted former President Trump’s director of national intelligence to state that UFOs exhibit “technologies that we don’t have [and] that we are not capable of defending against.”
“Not capable of defending against.” That’s something you don’t hear very often from a “defense” department. As The Hill points out, this means that all UAP reports must first undergo an “Is it man-made or not?” sniff test. All transmedium objects and any that can’t be classified as drones must e sent to another special investigation department set up of non-human-made objects. Is this a big deal? The Hill thinks so.
"Make no mistake: One branch of the American government implying that UFOs have non-human origins is an explosive development."
Just as government watchdog media sites like The Hill and Vice are looking into this new revelation that the government seems to be admitting there could be non-human-made UAPs, a commercial airline pilot reported seeing this while on a 4-hour flight to Washington Dulles airport.
“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).”
UFO Sightings Daily reports that an unnamed experienced commercial pilot “who works for a major airline” and whose “credentials are impeccable” saw what appear to be classic bright org UFOs or foo fighters on August 12, 2022, while enroute from the Virgin Islands to Washington DC. The orbs were seen for 25 minutes, from the time the flight was over Wilmington, North Carolina, until it was over Richmond, Virginia – very close to Washington DC. In a report obtained by UFO Sightings Daily, the pilot said the orbs pulsed on and off for 8-10 seconds at a time and could not be other airliners because they were well above the 41,000 feet limit of those planes. The pilot notes that “the Captain” also witnessed the UFOs, which maintained a constant distance from their plane for 35 minutes while they traveled “about 250 nautical miles.” The pilot used a cell phone to film two orbs, sometimes three (you can watch the video here), seemingly flying in formation.
Knowing how close they were to Washington DC, one might wonder if these were fighter jets.
“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.”
What did the pilot and captain see?
The pilot also ruled out Starlink satellites because the objects occasionally changed altitude and flew in circles. The report does not say if this sighting was filed with the FAA or the Pentagon, and UFO Sightings Daily does not have any other information. A quick search brought up no other sources for this sighting, so that must be taken into account.
What would the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) say about this ‘foo fighters’ sighting? While UFO Sightings Daily claims “This is 100% undeniable proof that UFOs are following jets and curious about those aboard them,” it seem highly unlikely the government would reach the same conclusion with such limited data. FAA tracking, instrument recordings and reports from other pilots in the very crowded airspace would help. Also, the UFOs did not appear to be transmedium – they stayed in the air until the plane lost them. However, based on this limited information, it is difficult to rule positively that what this pilot saw and recorded was human-made. Should there be a third filing cabinet marked “To Be Determined”?
The U.S. government is definitely implying an interest in hon-human-made transmedium objects – an interest that has translated into assigning budgetary money to look for them. At the same time, a former military pilot in a commercial aircraft sees UAPs near Washington DC. Coincidence?
Timing is everything. Keep watching the skies and C-SPAN!
Op zo’n 170.000 lichtjaar bevindt zich de Tarantulanevel: een van de grootste stervormingsgebieden in het lokale heelal.

Ze lijken te gloeien, maar de oranjegele strepen op deze spectaculaire foto markeren langgerekte slierten van koud gas. De temperatuur in die gaswolken is laag genoeg voor het ontstaan van eenvoudige moleculen, zoals waterstof (H2) en koolmonoxide (CO). Wanneer zulke moleculaire wolken onder invloed van hun eigen zwaartekracht samentrekken en inkrimpen, ontstaan er nieuwe sterren.
Koude wolken van moleculair gas zijn niet zichtbaar met een gewone telescoop. De draderige structuur is vastgelegd op korte radiogolflengtes, met de schotelantennes van het ALMA-observatorium, op 5.000 meter hoogte in Noord-Chili. ALMA meet de millimeterstraling van koolmonoxide, en kan op die manier de verdeling van het koude gas in kaart brengen.

De ALMA-metingen zijn hier gecombineerd met een infraroodopname, waarop juist warm en heet gas goed zichtbaar is (de roze wolken), evenals duizenden pasgeboren sterren. De hete gasnevel werd ruim tweehonderd jaar geleden al beschreven. In de loop van de vorige eeuw kreeg hij de bijnaam de Tarantulanevel, vanwege zijn spinachtige uiterlijk.
De Tarantulanevel (officieel 30 Doradus geheten) bevindt zich op zo’n 170.000 lichtjaar afstand van de aarde, in de Grote Magelhaense Wolk, een begeleider van ons eigen Melkwegstelsel. Het is een van de grootste en actiefste stervormingsgebieden in het lokale heelal. In het centrum van de nevel bevindt zich de jonge sterrenhoop NGC 2070, waarin zich enkele extreem hete, zware sterren bevinden.
Astronomen hadden verwacht dat koudere gaswolken uit elkaar geblazen zouden worden door de energie van die sterren, waarvan sommige 150 keer zo zwaar zijn als de zon. De ALMA-metingen laten echter zien dat het moleculaire gas zelfs in deze extreme omgeving nog kan samentrekken onder invloed van de zwaartekracht. Het geboorteproces van nieuwe sterren in de Tarantulanevel is voorlopig dus nog niet beëindigd.
Voor het eerst gaat native American vrouw de ruimte in
Op 29 september is het eindelijk zover. Dan vertrekt NASA-astronaute Nicole Aunapu Mann naar het internationale ruimtestation ISS. Mann zal dan de eerste inheems-Amerikaanse vrouw ooit zijn die de ruimte ingaat.
Nog maar 75 vrouwen gingen Nicole Mann voor, volgens NASA, terwijl ruimtevluchten nu al zo’n zestig jaar worden uitgevoerd. Maar het duurde even voor ook vrouwen aan de beurt kwamen als astronauten. Pas in 2013 studeerden er evenveel vrouwen als mannen af als astronaut. Onder de vier vrouwen toen, ook Nicole Aunapu Mann. Zij zal eind september de eerste native American vrouw worden in de ruimte.
Nicole Aunapu Mann behoort tot de Wailaki, een indianenstam uit het reservaat Round Valley in Californië. Ze volgde de opleiding van mechanisch ingenieur aan de gerenommeerde universiteit van Stanford. Ze vloog met gevechtsvliegtuigen voor het Marinekorps. Ze diende in Irak en in Afghanistan en verzamelde zes medailles. En eind volgende maand zal ze samen met drie collega’s in het ruimtevaartuig Crew Dragon van SpaceX kruipen om naar het ISS te vliegen. Mann voert het commando van de missie. Het wordt haar eerste ruimtereis.
De allereerste Amerikaanse vrouw in de ruimte was LGBTQ-astronaute Sally Ride op 18 juni 1983. Ze was toen 32 en is daarmee vandaag nog altijd de jongste Amerikaan ooit in de ruimte. De eerste native American NASA-astronaut in de ruimte was John Herrington, lid van de Chickasaw Nation, in 2002.
Mann mag maar 1,5 kilogram aan persoonlijke spullen met zich meenemen in de ruimte. Daar zou alvast een dromenvanger bij zijn, een heilig voorwerp in de spirituele cultuur van de inheemse bevolking.
Nicole Mann werd in 2020 gekozen als onderdeel van het Artemis-team van elite NASA-astronauten die in aanmerking komen voor selectie voor vroege maanmissies. Van de duizenden kandidaten krijgt Mann misschien de kans om op de maan te stappen. Maar eerste halte is het ISS.

What Are The Odds? The U.S., Europe, Africa And China Are All Simultaneously Experiencing Droughts Of Epic Proportions
What Are The Odds? The U.S., Europe, Africa And China Are All Simultaneously Experiencing Droughts Of Epic Proportions
Do you believe in “coincidences”? There have always been droughts all throughout human history. So if there were a couple of isolated droughts in 2022, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But that isn’t what we are facing. Instead, right now the United States, Europe, Africa and China are all experiencing droughts of epic proportions. As a result, crops are failing in key agricultural areas all over the globe. Of course if just one country or one region was experiencing a “historic drought”, agricultural production from the rest of the world could make up for that. Unfortunately, what we are currently witnessing is truly unprecedented. For the very first time in
modern history, virtually all of the largest economies on the entire planet have been hit by extreme drought conditions simultaneously, and that means that global agricultural production is going to be way below expectations in 2022.
In this article, I would like to start my discussion by taking a look at what is going on in China right now.
Wan Jinjun, a 62-year-old retiree who has swum the Yangtze River almost every day for the past decade in Wuhan, said he’s never seen a drought like this before.
An extreme summer has taken a toll on Asia’s longest river, which flows about 3,900 miles (6,300 kilometers) through China and feeds farms that provide much of the country’s food and massive hydroelectric stations, including the Three Gorges Dam — the world’s biggest power plant. A year ago, water lapped almost as high as the riverbank where Wan swims. Now, the level is at the lowest for this time of year since records began in 1865, exposing swathes of sand, rock and oozing brown mud that reeks of rotting fish.
It is being reported that rainfall along the Yangtze River is 45 percent below normal levels, and that is extremely alarming.
Meanwhile, an absolutely monstrous heatwave has been scorching China for the past two months…
That is hot!
In fact, scientists are telling us that what China is currently experiencing is “the most severe heatwave” in recorded history…
It is the longest and hottest heatwave in China since national records began in 1961. According to weather historian Maximiliano Herrera, who monitors extreme temperatures around the world, it is the most severe heatwave recorded anywhere.
“This combines the most extreme intensity with the most extreme length with an incredibly huge area all at the same time,” he says. “There is nothing in world climatic history which is even minimally comparable to what is happening in China.”
In recent days, factories have been shut down in some areas of China as mandatory power restrictions have been implemented.
Hopefully relief will come soon, because the Chinese desperately need it.
Meanwhile, Europe is enduring the worst drought that it has experienced “in at least 500 years”…
Europe is facing its worst drought in at least 500 years, with two-thirds of the continent in a state of alert or warning, reducing inland shipping, electricity production and the yields of certain crops, a European Union agency said on Tuesday.
Earlier this month, I wrote an article about the crippling crop losses that Europe is now facing as a result of this drought.
And today we got even more bad news. According to Zero Hedge, corn production for the entire EU could be reduced by about one-fifth this year due to a lack of moisture…
Besides the news of record high electricity prices, a troubling new crop failure report about Europe’s upcoming harvest was published Monday. The bloc’s Monitoring Agricultural Resources forecasted corn yields could drop by nearly a fifth due to a devastating drought, according to Bloomberg.
Before we dive into the crop report, Europe’s centuries-old ‘hunger stones’ were recetly revealed in the Elbe River, which runs from the mountains of Czechia through Germany to the North Sea. The stones date back to a drought in 1616 and read:“Wenn du mich siehst, dann weine.” That translates to “if you see me, then weep.”
Sadly, conditions are even worse in eastern Africa.
Seven million livestock in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia have died since last September due to severe drought conditions, according to a recent report by the US Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Famine Early Warning Systems Network.
“The Washington Post” reported last year that the carcasses of giraffes, goats, camels and droves of cattle were found in villages after starving to death in northern Kenya. Such losses can be ruinous for families, who face food insecurity as a result.
But have you seen any images of these dead animals on the nightly news?
Of course not.
They aren’t telling you what is really going on out there.
Before I end this article, I want to give you an update on what is going on in the United States.
The worst megadrought in 1,200 years has an iron grip on the western half of the country, and it is having an enormous impact on agricultural production.
In fact, it is being reported that in some areas the corn is under such stress that the plants are not even producing ears of grain…
It’s been so dry in parts of Nebraska and South Dakota that corn plants are doing something truly strange: they’re not producing ears of grain.
The stalks, which should be about 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall by this time of year, are withered, browning and short — some are only standing at about 5 feet. Crop scouts set out this week to analyze yields, and in some isolated patches, they actually had trouble finding enough corn ears to measure.While it’s not a widespread problem, the shocking development is an indicator of just how harsh the hot and dry weather has been.
Everything that I have shared in this article is not normal.
That is because we are entering times that are going to be exceedingly abnormal.
Every year, there are always a few parts of the globe that struggle with food production.
But we have never seen it happen simultaneously to so many key areas all over the planet.
Do you really think that what we are witnessing is just a “coincidence”?
If you are willing to believe that, there is a giant bridge on the west coast that I would like to sell you.

Sky-watcher discovers constructed objects near Apollo 17 landing site
Sky-watcher discovers constructed objects near Apollo 17 landing site
This video is real 14 inch footage of real lunar constructed objects including newly found construction just on the outskirts of Mare Serenitatis.
Sky-watcher Bruce Sees All shows a clear addition to each of the areas...filmed in 2016...compared with footage from August 2022...we not only see an addition (constructed) anomaly but the Apollo 17 supposed landing site also is filled with power lines or tunnels leading to energy sources.
This interesting footage of a possible triangle UFO was filmed in the sky above the ocean near Rosarito Beach, a resort town on the coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. This was filmed on 22nd August 2022.
Witness report:
I initially took out my binoculars to see if the lights were coming from a tanker. I saw nothing below the lights, no form of a sea vessel. I know tankers have one red, green and red light always on, but none were observed. The lights stayed in formation and one by one disappeared. I took out my iPhone 11 to video the sighting, twice. One by one the lights would go out and then reappear at the same location.
‘Nog nooit Jupiter zo gezien’: James Webb-telescoop toont ongelooflijk uitzicht op planeet
De James Webb-telescoop, de nieuwste en grootste ruimtetelescoop, laat Jupiter zien als nooit tevoren. De telescoop legde de voorbije weken ongekende beelden vast van de gasreus met zowel manen als ringen, tot zelfs prachtige polaire nevel. “Het is allemaal heel ongelooflijk”.
Verschillende beelden van de telescoop zijn samengevoegd tot een compositiefoto die de aarde een nieuwe blik gunt op de gasreus. “Zo kan je Jupiters Grote Rode Vlek zien rechts onderaan”, zegt wetenschapsexpert Martijn Peters, “Dat is een storm groot genoeg om de aarde te verzwelgen”. Martijn wijst ook op de vage ringen en verre sterrenstelsels die je kan zien op de achtergrond.
“De talrijke heldere witte ‘vlekken’ en ‘strepen’ zijn waarschijnlijk wolkentoppen op zeer grote hoogte van gecondenseerde convectieve stormen”, zei Heidi Hammel, interdisciplinair Webb-wetenschapper voor zonnestelselwaarnemingen. Ook de manen van Jupiter zijn te zien op deze foto.
Zwarte gaten “schreeuwen niet, maar zingen”: onderzoekers maken geluid van mysterieus hemellichaam hoorbaar voor de mens
In de donkere Perseus cluster, een cluster van sterrenstelsels in het sterrenbeeld Perseus, zingt een superzwaar zwart gat al 2,5 miljard jaar hetzelfde deuntje. Het is de eerste keer dat wetenschappers erin slaagden om het geluid van een zwart gat hoorbaar te maken voor mensen.
Een zwart gat is nog steeds een van de meest mysterieuze fenomenen in de kosmos. De zwaartekracht is er zo sterk dat het alles in de omgeving genadeloos opslokt. Daarom is het onderzoek ook zo uitdagend, maar dat houdt onderzoekers niet tegen. Na de eerste foto van een zwart gat in 2019 duikt er nu ook een geluidsopname op.
In 2003 ontdekten astronomen een patroon van rimpelingen in de Perseus cluster. Het bleek om drukgolven of geluidsgolven te gaan met een diameter van maar liefst 30.000 lichtjaar - de afstand die licht aflegt op een jaar tijd.
Van röntgenstralen naar geluid
De geluidsgolven werden veroorzaakt door talrijke explosies of drukgolven te midden van een zwart gat en werden vastgelegd door de Chandra X-ray Observatory telescoop. Dat is een röntgentelescoop die waarnemingen doet in het röntgengebied. Het geluid was op dat moment - met behulp van de röntgenstralen - enkel zichtbaar. Maar door de signalen met enkele octaven te versnellen, maakten onderzoekers het geluid eveneens ook hoorbaar.
Critici denken misschien dat zwarte gaten helemaal geen geluid kunnen maken. Daarvoor is er immers een medium nodig, zoals water of lucht. Geluidsgolven planten zich hier op aarde voort door omringende luchtmoleculen te laten trillen, totdat ze worden opgepikt door onze oren. De ruimte wordt daarentegen als een vacuüm beschreven en geluidsgolven kunnen zich in zo’n vacuüm in principe niet verplaatsen. Volgens de onderzoekers is dat een misvatting. “Een cluster van sterrenstelsels bevat veel gas. Dit omvat honderden of zelfs duizenden sterrenstelsels en is tegelijkertijd een medium voor de voortplanting van geluidsgolven”, zo leggen ze uit. Op die manier kan je zwarte gaten horen “zingen” in plaats van “schreeuwen”.
Sterrenverslinders
Een zwart gat is eigenlijk wat overblijft na de explosie van een ster, een ster die zwaarder is dan de zon. Tijdens zo’n explosie produceert de ster eventjes zoveel licht als het hele sterrenstelsel waartoe het behoort. Om daarna voor eeuwig zwart te worden. Daarom werden zwarte gaten voor 1964 “bevroren sterren” genoemd. Verder nog wordt de kern van de explosie zo compact dat een zwart gat ontstaat. Omdat er niets aan de zwarte gaten kan ontsnappen - er kan alleen maar wat invallen – groeien ze doorheen de tijd in massa.
NASA deelt griezelig geluid van zwart gat op Twitter
We kregen de laatste maanden niet alleen nieuwe foto’s van een zwart gat voorgeschoteld, maar zelfs een geluidsfragment. Hoe zo’n zwart gat in de ruimte mag klinken? Griezelig, zo te horen.
“De misvatting dat er geen geluid in de ruimte is, vindt zijn oorsprong in het feit dat de ruimte meestal een vacuüm is, waarin geluidsgolven zich niet kunnen verplaatsen”, tweette NASA zondag. “Maar een cluster van melkwegstelsels heeft zoveel gas dat we echt geluid hebben opgepikt. In dit geval wordt het versterkt en vermengd met andere gegevens om een zwart gat te kunnen horen.”
Het geluid van het zwarte gat klinkt nogal spookachtig. Het is afkomstig van echte geluidsgolven uit het enorme zwarte gat in het centrum van de cluster van het Perseus-sterrenstelsel, dat meer dan 200 miljoen lichtjaar van ons verwijderd is. NASA bewerkte het geluid zodat menselijke oren het kunnen horen. Het geluid werd vermengd met “andere gegevens” en versterkt.
Het Chandra X-ray Observatory van NASA publiceerde het geluidsfragment in mei al tijdens de week van het zwarte gat. Nu stuurde de ruimtevaartorganisatie het via Twitter de wereld in en kreeg ze meteen heel wat reacties. Vele internetgebruikers lieten weten dat het zwarte gat exact klonk zoals ze hadden verwacht: griezelig. “Ergens wist je gewoon dat een zwart gat zou klinken als angstaanjagende geesten in plaats van zachte oceaangolven”, aldus Twitteraar Asher Honickman. “Als je het geluid van het zwarte gat luider zet, klinkt het als honderden gemartelde zielen die onder een poel van vuur worden gesleurd”, tweette een andere. Iemand leek ook Pink Floyds ‘Echoes’ te herkennen, en nog een andere muziekliefhebber grapte dat het nieuw werk van de IJslandse Björk betrof.

The Latest Webb Observations Don’t Disprove The Big Bang, But They Are Interesting
The Latest Webb Observations Don’t Disprove The Big Bang, But They Are Interesting
Okay, so let’s start with the obvious. The big bang is not dead. Recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope have not disproven the big bang, despite certain popular articles claiming otherwise. If that’s all you needed to hear, then have a great day. That said, the latest Webb observations do reveal some strange and unexpected things about the universe, and if you’d like to know more, keep reading.
Let’s start with the rumors. What about the new Webb data would suggest the big bang is wrong? The same type of data Hubble gave us years ago. We generally think of evidence for the big bang being centered around two facts: first, that more distant galaxies have a higher redshift than closer ones, and second, that the universe is filled with a cosmic background of microwave radiation. The first suggests that the universe is expanding in all directions, while the second suggests that it was once in a very hot and dense state. These are two of the Three Pillars of data supporting the big bang, the third being the relative abundance of elements in the early universe.
But these observations are just the foundation of the big bang model. We have long since expanded on these to create the standard model of cosmology, also known as the LCDM model. That is a universe that began with the big bang and is filled with matter, dark matter, and dark energy. Everything from the acceleration of cosmic expansion to the clustering of galaxies supports this standard model. And the standard model makes predictions about other observational tests, so we can further prove its validity. That’s where the latest claims of the “big bust” come into play.

One of these secondary tests is known as the Tolman surface brightness test. It was first proposed in the 1930s by Richard C. Tolman and compares the apparent brightness of a galaxy with its apparent size. The ratio of brightness to size is known as surface brightness. Generally, the bigger a galaxy, the brighter it should be, so the surface brightness of every galaxy should be roughly the same. More distant galaxies would appear dimmer, but they’d also have a smaller apparent size, so the surface brightness would still be the same. The Tolman test predicts that in a static, non-expanding universe the surface brightness of all galaxies should be about the same, regardless of distance.
This isn’t what we see. What we observe is that more distant galaxies have a dimmer surface brightness than closer ones. The amount of dimming is proportional to the amount of redshift the galaxy has. You might think this proves that all those distant galaxies are speeding away from us, but it actually doesn’t. If those distant galaxies were speeding away, you’d have two dimming effects. The red shift and the ever-increasing distance. The Tolman test predicts that in a simple expanding universe the surface brightness of galaxies should diminish proportional to both redshift and distance. We only see the effects of redshift.
This fact has led some to propose a static universe where light spontaneously loses energy over time. It’s the so-called tired light hypothesis, and it’s very popular among big bang opponents. If the universe is static and light is tired, then the Tolman test predicts exactly what we observe. Hence no big bang.

Back in 2014, Eric Lerner et al published a paper making exactly this point. It caused a flurry of “Big Bang Dead!” articles in the popular media. The latest claims about Webb killing the big bang began with a popular article by the same Eric Lerner. So here we are. In fairness, back in 2014, the Hubble observations supported Lerner’s claim, and so do the latest Webb observations. But what Lerner conveniently omitted from his paper is that the Hubble and Webb observations also support the LCDM model.
It’s a common misconception that redshift proves that galaxies are speeding away from us. They aren’t. Distant galaxies aren’t speeding through space. Space itself is expanding, putting greater distance between us. It’s a subtle difference, but it means that galactic redshift is caused by cosmic expansion, not relative motion. It also means that distant galaxies appear a bit larger than they would in a static universe. They are distant and tiny, but the expansion of space gives the illusion of them being larger. As a result, the surface brightness of distant galaxies dims only proportional to redshift.

Of course, we know tired light is wrong because of the cosmic microwave background. A static, tired-light universe wouldn’t have any remnant heat from a primordial fireball. Not to mention the fact that distant galaxies would appear blurred (they don’t), and distant supernovae wouldn’t be time-dilated by cosmic expansion (they are). The only model that supports all the evidence is the big bang. Lerner’s argument is an old one that has long been disproven.
All that said, the James Webb Space Telescope has found some unusual things. Most significantly, it has found more galaxies and more distant galaxies than there should be, and that could lead to some revolutionary changes in our standard model. Our current understanding is that after the big bang the universe went through a period known as the dark ages. During this period the first light of the cosmos had faded, and the first stars and galaxies hadn’t yet formed. Webb is so sensitive it can see some of the youngest galaxies that formed just after the dark ages. We would expect those young galaxies to be less numerous and less developed than later galaxies. But the Webb observations have found very redshifted, very young galaxies that are both common and surprisingly mature.
It’s the kind of puzzling and unexpected data astronomers were hoping for. It’s why we wanted to build the Webb telescope in the first place. And it tells us that while the big bang model isn’t wrong, some of our assumptions about it might be.

Rare “Red Sprites” Seen From ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile
Rare “Red Sprites” Seen From ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile
This new image taken of the skies above Chile’s Atacama Desert near the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) La Silla Observatory, shows bright red streaks in the sky known as red sprites. Red sprites are large-scale electrical discharges that occur high above thunderstorm clouds, usually triggered by the discharges of positive lightning between an underlying thundercloud and the ground. However, the red sprites appear high in Earth’s atmosphere, sometimes 50-90 km in altitude.

People have been telling folktales for centuries about mysterious red lights in the sky, which were usually dismissed by experts. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, even when respectable pilots or scientists (including CTR Wilson, a Nobel Prize winning physicist) described them, the scientific community ignored the events. However, in 1989, scientists from the University of Minnesota actually captured pictures of red sprites, and the attitude about them has since changed. While they now have been photographed and filmed thousands of time, — including by astronauts on the International Space Station — red sprites are still a fairly rare occurrence.

This new photo (lead image and below) from ESO almost looks like a painting. The red sprites appear low on the horizon, only due to the perspective of the camera, located on the platform of ESO’s 3.6m telescope at La Silla. The background of the photograph shows a green hue, known as airglow. ESO explained that during the day, sunlight knocks electrons away from nitrogen and oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere and, at night, these electrons recombine with the atoms and molecules, causing them to shine. Usually, airglow can only be seen in very dark skies where there is no light pollution.
Because of the remote location, with high altitude and lack of light pollution, La Silla is perfect for capturing these unusual phenomena.

The true story of Nikola Tesla told by Lt. Col. Thomas Bearden
The true story of Nikola Tesla told by Lt. Col. Thomas Bearden
This one is next level, and I know you haven't seen it before, since someone went to great lengths to have this video removed everywhere!
This was sent to Dutchsinse in a package from Lt. Col Thomas Beardens company (which has now disappeared from the internet) after he passed away with the message "Dutch- don't know if you've seen THIS one"
Needless to say, we've got a series of stories and explanations on Nikola Tesla from Lt. Col. Thomas Bearden that will absolutely floor you.
He explains a new device that he made (Lt. Col. Bearden) on how to harness and use free energy using current electrical lines going into our houses and on power poles around the world. Amazing.
Also amazing, the part about the French scientists and their work on curing certain diseases. As well as the part about transmitting "sicknesses", as well as transmitting cures.
These UFOs were seen and recorded in the night sky above Westminster, a home rule municipality located in Adams and Jefferson counties, Colorado on 20th August 2022.
Witness report:
My husband Josh was at the shopping center behind our house and called me to run outside and look up. I walked out and observed thousands of lights. They were silent and twinkling and multi colored. Please see attached videos, that I recorded. I have researched the SpaceX images, and those lights are a straight line and white. These were all over the place. Some much farther away than the others. The lights were about 10,000 feet above. There were no lantern festivals.
Mysterious Alien Signals Found to Repeat on a Regular 16-Day Cycle
Mysterious Alien Signals Found to Repeat on a Regular 16-Day Cycle
There's something in deep space that is sending out a signal to Earth in a continuous sixteen-day cycle.
We’ve just found out that a series of complex alien signals coming from space are not as random as we initially thought. A new study revealed an FRB source located around half a billion light-years from Earth pulses, ominously, on a regular and consistent 16-day cycle.
Is this the ultimate alien message we’ve been waiting for? According to experts, a mysterious alien signal has been found to repeat on a sixteen-day cycle cautiously.
Fast Radio Bursts are among the most mysterious cosmic phenomenon discovered in the twenty-first century. We’ve only started to study and understand the signals and are still trying to figure out what causes them and their exact source.
Some have suggested FRBs are a natural, cosmic phenomenon, while others have dared to say that FRBs could be the ultimate alien evidence we have all been looking for.
VICE recently reported a new study led by Cornell University scientists had identified a strange Fast Radio Bursts located approximately half-a-billion light-years from Earth. This strange alien signal has been found to pulse regularly in a 16-day cycle.
This means that Cornell University scientists have revealed that it is the first FRB discovered on a repeating schedule.
“The discovery of a 16.35-day periodicity in a repeating FRB source is an important clue to the nature of this object.”
This is the first FRB identified by astronomers, dubbed the Lorimer Burst. Lorimer described it in 2007.

Between September of 2018 and October of 1029. the researchers have studied as many as 28 FRBs that have been identified by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst Project (CHIME/FRB), a state-of-the-art radio telescope located in British Columbia, Canada.
Although the repeating signal is as strange as it gets, it doesn’t necessarily mean its aliens. However, there are a few theories that could explain what causes the repeating cycle.
One explanation is that the signal could originate from an orbiting object, which only sends out a signal at a certain point in the orbit. Another theory is that the repeating cycle originates from a binary star comprised of a massive star and a highly magnetized star.
Another option, as revealed by VICE, is that if the FRB source is orbiting a compact object, like a Black Hole, then it might flash signals towards Earth only at a certain point in the orbital period.
Interestingly, a group of astronomers recently tracked down this particular FRB to a galaxy dubbed SDSS J015800.28+654253.0. Although it is located half a billion light-years from Earth and may seem behemoth distance, the signal dubbed FRB 180916.J0158+65 is the closest Fast Radio Burst ever detected by astronomers.
Despite knowing where it is, we have absolutely no idea what it is.

In Congress, where legislation is drafted, debated and enacted, clear and concise definitions are of paramount importance. As military aircrews increasingly encounter unidentified flying objects (UFOs), lawmakers recently made several striking revisions to the definition of “UFO.” Key among them: The explosive implication that some UFOs have non-human origins.
As first reported by researcher Douglas Johnson, a draft bill approved unanimously by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence rebrands UFOs as “unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.” Expanding the definition to include objects in space and under the oceans significantly broadens the scope of a muscular new office tasked by Congress with investigating UFOs.
The revised definition of “UFO” also includes “transmedium” objects which, according to lawmakers, “transition between space and the atmosphere, or between the atmosphere and bodies of water.”
In short, members of a key national security-focused committee believe that objects of unknown origin are demonstrating remarkably advanced technology by moving seamlessly between space, air and water. A report accompanying the legislation notes that “transmedium threats to United States national security are expanding exponentially.”
It strains credulity to believe that lawmakers would include such extraordinary language in public legislation without compelling evidence. Perhaps members have seen the classified sensor data that prompted former President Trump’s director of national intelligence to state that UFOs exhibit “technologies that we don’t have [and] that we are not capable of defending against” (among several other eyebrow-raising comments).
Most strikingly, Congress’s new definition of “UFO” excludes “man-made” objects.
Over the last seven decades, most UFO sightings involved “man-made” objects, such as misidentified aircraft, balloons, satellites or drones. Yet now, according to Congress, “man-made” objects “should not be considered under the definition as unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.”
Moreover, in a congressional directive, objects identified by the new UFO office “as man-made…will be passed to appropriate [Department of Defense and Intelligence Community] offices” for further analysis.
Congress, in short, is forcing the government to focus on objects that are not “man-made.”
Imagine that the new UFO office identifies a highly advanced drone flying in sensitive airspace. Under the draft legislation, regardless of the drone’s origin – be it Chinese, Russian or otherwise – the UFO office must immediately stop investigating and hand the case over to another government entity.
This implies that members of the Senate Intelligence Committee believe (on a unanimous, bipartisan basis) that some UFOs have non-human origins. After all, why would Congress establish and task a powerful new office with investigating non-“man-made” UFOs if such objects did not exist?
Make no mistake: One branch of the American government implying that UFOs have non-human origins is an explosive development.
It is also part of a remarkable shift in official attitudes towards UFOs.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, many senior government officials believed that UFOs had “interplanetary” origins. But a series of still-unexplained encounters in the summer of 1952 sparked Cold War national security fears among defense and intelligence agencies. As a result, the U.S. government initiated a campaign to “debunk” and discredit all UFO sightings, no matter how credible. For decades, officials mocked any suggestion that UFOs had extraterrestrial origins.
Not anymore.
In discussions and interviews, NASA administrator Bill Nelson suggested that UFOs encountered by military aircrews in recent years have otherworldly origins. (NASA, it should be noted, is proceeding “full force” on an unprecedented scientific study of UFOs.)
Former CIA Director John Brennan stated that UFOs might “constitute a different form of life.” According to James Woolsey, a fellow ex-CIA director, “something is going on that is surprising to…experienced pilots.”
As Top Gun-trained aviators remain convinced that they observed objects “not of this world,” director of national intelligence Avril Haines – America’s top spy – has not ruled out extraterrestrial origins for UFOs.
After the customary giggles and smirks that still accompany any mention of “UFO” died down, both Clinton and Obama adopted a serious, matter-of-fact demeanor when discussing the topic. Clinton, in particular, scolded a television audience for laughing when a host asked him about UFOs. Of note, former presidents continue receiving the government’s most sensitive intelligence briefings.
Comedian and political commentator Bill Maher, for example, recently theorized that UFOs are intentionally revealing themselves to fighter pilots.
He may be on to something. The geometrically reconstructed flight path of a well-known 2015 UFO encounter off the U.S. East Coast indicates that the object reacted as a Navy fighter jet attempted to sneak up behind it. Importantly, the object’s movement did not suggest hostility as much as a desire to be observed by the aircrew, which ultimately “flew right up to the thing.”
A UFO involved in the now famous 2004 “Tic Tac” incidents appeared on radar at the precise location of a rendezvous point known only to a small group of aviators and radar operators. Ten years later, two fighter jets nearly collided with a UFO hovering at the exact location and altitude of an entrance point to a military training range.
To Maher’s point, some UFOs appear to move and position themselves in ways that make their presence obvious to nearby military aircrews.
With Congress openly suggesting that UFOs have non-human origins, this behavior is particularly intriguing.
