UFO’S ON THE MOON : TRUTH EXPOSED - FULL HD SCI-FI MOVIE IN ENGLISH
Science now recognizes that the Moon is far older than previously thought, potentially even older than the Earth or the Sun. Our Moon is the only moon in the solar system with a fixed, nearly perfect circular orbit; it is not a solid object. Stories from the past explain how the Moon came to be in orbit. Why are there mysterious geometric structures on the Moon's surface that resemble those in prehistoric Egypt and other parts of Earth? How is it possible that the Moon perfectly eclipses our Sun by miraculous chance? It is mathematically impossible for a total eclipse to occur on Earth if the Sun and Moon are properly aligned.

A ROBOT CHOREOGRAPHER REVEALS WHY M3GAN — AND ALL ROBOTS — SHOULD DANCE
MOLLY GLICK JAN 19 2023
A ROBOT CHOREOGRAPHER REVEALS WHY M3GAN — AND ALL ROBOTS — SHOULD DANCE
Something about dancing robots seems to tickle people’s fancies. After all, millions of people watched a 2020 video from the robotics company Boston Dynamics of its fancy humanoid and quadrupedal devices getting down to ‘60s soul.
More recently, the murderous (yet campy) villain in the movie M3GAN has captivated the internet with her moves — and even earned recognition as a gay icon. Whether we’re obsessing over grooving robots or moving like robots ourselves, automaton choreography clearly holds a place in our hearts.
So it’s no surprise that a niche research field dubbed choreorobotics has gained traction in recent years. Brown University even has an entire course dedicated to the subject. Not only are labs programming robots to gyrate and hop, but dance experts are also helping scientists give their devices more fluid, human-like movements. Ultimately, this kind of work could help us feel closer to robots in an increasingly automated world.
Kate Sicchio, a choreographer and digital artist at Virginia Commonwealth University, combines her dance and tech knowledge to devise robot performances.Last year, Sicchio worked with Patrick Martin from the university’s engineering department to produce a (surprisingly touching) human-automaton duet. Offstage, she also helps design machines with more realistic motions.
Inverse talked to Sicchio to learn more about choreorobotics — and whether increasingly limber robots could actually become blood-thirsty killers like M3GAN.
WHY DO YOU THINK ROBOT DANCING VIDEOS GET SO POPULAR?
It's really interesting to have this unfamiliar device do this uncanny human thing. It’s similar to why we love putting googly eyes on everything. This makes it human even though it's not supposed to be. And that becomes funny or endearing somehow. It's very popular to make the robot do this very human, expressive thing when it's not human or expressive on its own
WHAT MAKES A ROBOT PERFORMANCE POWERFUL?
One of the things we found is that a robot on its own feels very isolated and cold. We have this piece called “Amelia and the Machine.”In the opening, this dancer is actually moving the robot arm around.
People are really moved by this intimacy with the robot and the fact that she's touching it.
It's a small manipulator robot, so it's probably the size of a toddler. The fact that she’s sitting next to it — that small connection really changes how people see the robot because it's no longer this isolated thing. All of a sudden it has a companion.
WHAT STYLE OF DANCE DO ROBOTS DO BEST?
My home is contemporary dance, so that's where I go first. That tends to work well because, with the robot we’re using, it's not a one-to-one mapping of the human body onto the robot. Sometimes it's hard to do traditional ballet, where there are really specific positions to hit. It’s really hard to map an arabesque onto a robot that doesn't have a leg.
I think contemporary dance, where there's a lot of freedom and creativity in how you develop movement, works well. I would be interested in doing things with dance forms with more rhythm or more structure and timing — that would be a really interesting study to follow up with at some point. More tutting or street dance forms could be really interesting to play with.
THE M3GAN DANCE SEEMS TO FRIGHTEN, OR AT LEAST CONFUSE, VIEWERS. CAN DANCING DEVICES BACKFIRE AND ACTUALLY ALIENATE US FROM ROBOTS?
That’s something that we're also studying. There's this weird space where it totally can go wrong and could be like, “They're trying too much to make it human,” and it just falls short and becomes scary. I think what's interesting about M3GAN is that it's a very humanoid robot. The robots I work with do not look human at all, and I'm not interested in trying to make them look human. I get a lot of recommendations to put costumes on them. But I don't know that it needs a hand or a hat, or a tiara. It’s this weird moment where it can become scary instead of endearing or friendly.
One thing that's interesting about M3GAN is how it quickly becomes a killer robot. That is an ethical concern in this field — where might this go wrong? Could this become weaponized somehow if it becomes so good at moving? That's something I think about, too: How do we keep them ethical? I've never taken DARPA funding, but I know people who have gotten military funding for projects like this.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE HOLLYWOOD DANCING ROBOT SCENE?
The scene from Ex Machina. What I like about that dancing robot scene is it’s kind of the reveal that, guess what, this is all training for this AI robot, and all these women you keep seeing in the house aren't really women — and I'm going to show you because we can do this crazy dance routine together.
What stands out and makes it so interesting is that they do all these disco moves, but their eyes are locked on the guy watching. They never move their heads, which is what makes it so weird and un-human: They never unlock their focus. They're not having fun.
WHAT TYPES OF ROBOTS HAVE THE BEST MOVES?
With simpler robots, you can better appreciate the movement they can do and see how that can be made into something more expressive or more collaborative with the human. I think that’s less scary because it's not trying to be human and then failing.
Most researchers use more simple devices — a lot do big industrial arms. It's almost become a trope, the pretty ballerina with the big industrial arm. And then Boston Dynamics has the bipedal, more human sort of robots. The company’s dance spectacles look seamless, but they are actually really hard to program. So they never do them live, you only see the edited videos. They’re a huge production that takes several days to film to get you three minutes of a Bruno Mars song or whatever.
The humanoid ones are just tricky, that center of gravity thing is really hard — it’s easier when the robot is low to the ground. With our small robots, if you make a movement too fast or wild, it will fall over. So you can imagine a big humanoid robot trying to get it to jump, and land is very difficult.
WHY IS CHOREOROBOTICS IMPORTANT BEYOND PERFORMANCE?
I make stage pieces with Patrick Martin, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering. But we're also doing scientific studies during that process. We found that, because dancers are interested in doing extreme or different movements, they're very good at finding the boundaries of what a robot can do very quickly. A friend of mine calls dancers “extreme user testers.”
We’ve been doing a lot with machine learning and creating new algorithms for robots to move and we’ve been doing that by studying dancers. We do things like motion capture of dancers doing certain gestures, and then see how we can map those to the robot and see if we can get it to move with new qualities or in ways that normal programming hasn't thought of.
I also think it’s interesting when roboticists engage with choreography themselves. We did a workshop with Patrick Martin and his graduate students and some of my dance students — getting them to move. We explored a variety of prompts around moving the body in space, ways to repeat lines of the body with other body parts, and other approaches of responding to the geometry of the body.
When roboticists think about movement, they're always thinking of it outside of their own body. I think about it like getting the robot to follow my arm. Getting roboticists to actually do the dance and be in their bodies is a really interesting place for us to go next. That will start to develop this kind of kinesthetic empathy that perhaps we're searching for with dancing robots. I think roboticists should become dancers.

Is something amiss with Zhurong, China’s first Mars rover? The vehicle was supposed to come out of its months-long hibernation last month, but the Chinese space agency has been tight-lipped about its status, leading some researchers to speculate that it might not have survived the harsh Martian winter and dust storms.
“It wouldn’t be surprising for the rover to fail to come out of hibernation because it is solar-powered, and there’s a long history of solar-powered landers and rovers on Mars running out of power,” says David Flannery, an astrobiologist at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. He is part of the team working on NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover, which runs on nuclear power. Last month, researchers said goodbye to NASA’s solar-powered InSight lander, which succumbed to a dust storm.
But others remain optimistic that Zhurong will wake up in the next few months as temperatures warm up enough to charge its battery and as dust storms settle down. “I want to be optimistic that the rover will wake up,” says Baptiste Chide, a planetary scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, who is also part of the Perseverance team.
Zhurong jettisoned from the orbiter Tianwen-1 and plunged down to the vast Utopia Planitia impact basin in Mars’s northern hemisphere on 15 May 2021. It travelled nearly 2 kilometres from its landing site over the space of a year, exceeding its original mission goal of three months. The rover scoped out rocks, craters, sand dunes and even found evidence of past flooding from below the planet’s surface1.
Dust storm
Last May, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced that it had powered Zhurong down because a major dust storm was heading its way. Dust swirling around the atmosphere reduces the amount of solar radiation that reaches the surface of Mars. And dust that settles on the rover’s solar panels can also reduce the amount of sunlight it receives, affecting its power generation, says Chide.
Zhurong’s solar panels are made of dust-repellent materials and can be angled to prevent dust settling. But combating dust is an ongoing problem for many Martian missions. “That typically is what finishes a solar-powered mission in the end on Mars,” says Gregory Michael, a planetary scientist at the Free University of Berlin. Sometimes, whirlwinds known as dust devils, can come along and clear the dust off the panels, but that depends on luck, he says.
In May, the CNSA said that temperatures would drop to –20 °C during the day and –100 °C at night, and were expected to fall further. Cold temperatures mean that Zhurong needs more energy to keep its battery warm and prevent it from failing. To save energy, engineers typically shut off all scientific instruments, keeping only the communications system on for the rover to alert Earth when it wakes up. Chinese engineers have faced this problem before, says Chide — China’s solar-powered Yutu-2 rover has survived many long, cold nights on the lunar surface.
In September, a member of the Chinese team said they expected Zhurong to make contact when its energy levels had risen to 140 watts and the temperature of its components rose above –15 °C. They had initially expected that to happen by late December, at the end of the Martian winter and dust-storm season.
Researchers often develop models of the Martian atmosphere that can be used to predict when solar-powered spacecraft will revive, but they have lots of uncertainties, says Chide. “It is too soon to say that there is something wrong,” he says.
But the absence of an official update “is strange”, says a Chinese researcher and member of Zhurong’s science team, who requested anonymity to avoid repercussions from talking publicly before an official announcement. The last batch of images from Zhurong was received in June.
If the rover does eventually make contact, scientists will be ready. They hope that it will trundle to unusual geological formations nearby, including a barely visible ghost crater and a possible mud volcano. Together with laser instruments on Curiosity and Perseverance, Zhurong had been collecting data on the chemical make-up of Martian rocks. “I hope it will continue its traverse,” says Chide.
Mummified Crocodiles Sacrificed to the Gods Uncovered in Egypt
Mummified Crocodiles Sacrificed to the Gods Uncovered in Egypt
While performing excavations at a site known as Qubbat al-Hawā in southern Egypt in 2019, archaeologists from the University of Jaén in Spain made a strange and startling discovery. They unearthed a tomb that contained the remains of 10 mummified crocodiles, which once swam the waters of the River Nile in large numbers during the time of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs.
Two of the Spanish archaeologists have joined forces with a pair of Belgian scientists to produce a full and complete analysis of the skeletons of these mummified crocodiles and their tombs, published in the journal PLOS One .
“More than 20 burial sites with crocodile mummies are known in Egypt, but to find 10 well-preserved crocodile mummies together in an undisturbed tomb is extraordinary,” explained study lead author Bea De Cupere, an archaeozoologist from the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences(RBINS), when discussing the mummified crocodiles. “Of most mummies collected by museums in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often hatchlings, we don’t know exactly where they come from.”

Excavations of Rock-Cut Tombs Revealed Mummified Crocodiles
Qubbat al-Hawā is the site of an ancient Egyptian necropolis and is located on the western bank of the Nile opposite the historic city of Aswan. Its collection of over 100 tombs features the resting places of many aristocrats and priests, mostly from the age of the Old and Middle Kingdoms (2,700 to 1,800 BC).
The small, rock-cut tomb of the crocodiles, which contained five skeletons and five crocodile skulls, was located right next to six tombs that held the bodies of many local dignitaries, signifying the importance of this unique ritual burial. While the necropolis at Qubbat al-Hawā was still in use as late as the Roman period, the Belgian researchers have confirmed that the crocodiles were entombed sometime during the pre-Ptolemaic era, or before 304 BC.

Sacrifices to Sobek, the Crocodile-Headed God
In ancient Egypt, crocodiles were used in rituals dedicated to Sobek, the god of water, fertility and pharaonic power and influence. In addition to his role in helping Egypt’s pharaohs achieve and preserve political and military strength, Sobek was also said to protect the people from the dangers associated with the Nile.
These would have included rapid and massive flooding, exposure to waterborne diseases, and attacks by ferocious creatures including venomous snakes, hippopotami, and crocodiles - the same crocodiles that were used in rituals meant to appease the mighty Sobek, who was usually portrayed with a man’s body but a crocodile’s head.
The skeletal remains found in the tomb belonged to two different species: the West African crocodile and the iconic Nile crocodile , both of which proliferated in the Nile region thousands of years ago.
The crocodile five bodies ranged in size from six to 11 feet (1.8 to 3.5 meters) long, which is average size for a West African adult but on the small side for the Nile version (the latter can grow to twice the length of a West African type). Three of the five skeletons were virtually complete, but the other two had a lot of missing parts.

Rare Discovery of Intact Mummified Crocodiles at Qubbat al-Hawā
“The crocodiles were first buried elsewhere, possibly in sand pits,” De Cupere said. “This allowed the crocodiles to dry out naturally. Then the remains were unearthed, wrapped and moved to the tomb in Qubbat al-Hawā. Body parts must have been lost during wrapping and transport.”
One of the intact mummified crocodiles was so perfectly preserved that the archaeologists found stones known as gastroliths still present it its intestines. These are small rocks that reptiles will sometimes swallow to help them digest food, or in the case of crocodiles to help them maintain their balance while immersed in water. The presence of gastroliths helped confirm that the crocodiles were not cut open and cleaned out after their deaths, but were mummified in a more natural state.
There were no signs of physical injury on the skeletal remains of the mummified crocodiles. Ancient Egyptians captured the dangerous creatures by ensnaring them with nets, and the researchers speculate the crocodiles buried in the tomb were either drowned, suffocated or baked in the hot sun to ensure they were dead before been sent off to the afterworld.
The unfortunate creatures were being offered to Sobek as sacrifices, with the proper rituals being carried out beforehand to make sure the sacrifices would be accepted and would bring favor to the Egyptian people.

Sometimes, an Unwrapped Mummy is Better than a Wrapped One
The skeletal remains of the mummified crocodiles were no longer wrapped. But samples taken from the tomb contained microscopic traces of linen, palm leaves and rope, showing that the bodies and skulls had been mummified at the time of burial. The archaeologists determined they’d been entombed more than 2,300 years ago, based on stratigraphic evidence and on the advanced decay of the bandaging and the lack of pitch or bitumen covering the crocodile skeletons (later burials featured these added preservatives).
“Although several hundred crocodile mummiesare available for study in museums worldwide, not many specimens have been subjected to detailed investigation,” the study authors noted in their PLOS One paper. “This is undoubtedly due to the fact that observations of these mummies are complicated by the bandages and because large amounts of resin orbitumen are often applied to the animal bodies.”
Because they could look at the skeletons of the animals directly, instead of being forced to rely on non-invasive imaging technologies (CT-scanning and radiographing) to peer through layers of bandages and resin, the archaeologists were able to examine the skeletons of the mummified crocodiles more thoroughly and completely than would normally be the case.
“I'm thrilled that finds like these give us another glimpse into the life of ancient Egyptians,” said De Cupere, in acknowledgement of the scientific and historical significance of this anomalous but highly revealing discovery.

A new way to Peer Into the Permanently Shadowed Craters on the Moon, Searching for Deposits of Water ice
Not all flashlights are created equal. Some are stronger, consume more power, or have features such as blinking or strobes. Some aren’t even meant for humans, such as a new project that recently received funding from a NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Phase I award. Designed by the Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC), this flashlight doesn’t emit visible light, but it does emit x-rays and gamma rays, and the researchers on the project think it could be useful for finding resources on the Moon.
The key to this technology is a novel radioisotope that USNC developed that goes by the trade name EmberCore. It is a type of nuclear chargeable ceramic, similar to the radioisotopes contained in the radioisotope thermal generators used by Mars rovers such as Curiosity and Perseverance. So the radioisotope itself can be used as a power source for a rover, but it has a distinct advantage over other RTG cores.
When shielded a specific way, EmberCore emits X and Gamma rays that can be directed to a particular location, much like a flashlight. Effectively, the rover’s power source could also power a high-intensity scanning beam. According to the press release provided by the company in association with the announcement of their Phase I award, the beam could travel many kilometers on an airless world.

As with many remote sensing applications, that beam would then at least partially reflect back towards a sensor mounted on the rover and can be analyzed to detect the material it was reflecting off of. But, X-rays have an additional feature that anyone who has seen a medical one would be familiar with – they can see what’s underneath an object’s surface. Gamma rays can do so as well.
That added advantage makes having a controllable x-ray/gamma-ray remote sensing platform that also serves as the power source of the rover carrying is an exciting innovation and precisely the kind of research that NIAC usually goes for. The outcome of this preliminary research would be a mission design to one of two places on the Moon.
First would be Shackleton Crater, which has long been thought to hold large amounts of water. Accessing that water would be vital to supporting any long-term human effort to live on the Moon. A remote sensing platform that could scan the crater’s surroundings for the most significant deposits on and under the surface would be invaluable for directing astronauts where to look.
Water in craters on the Moon has been proven. Now we have to get there.
Another location would be the famous Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis), where Apollo 11 first touched down on the Moon. It has plenty of exposed rock strata that could provide insights into the geological formation of the Moon. However, they are only accessible by dangerous terrain that would be difficult for any rover to traverse. Hitting them with an EmberCore flashlight would allow a rover to observe them remotely without making the tricky trek to get to them.
NIAC Phase I grants are a first step down a long road towards being used on a space mission. But USNC, which is based in Seattle and headed by a former Chief Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and its EmberCore technology are starting down that road with this concept, and it’s not the first one they’re doing. They were also funded by the US Military’s Defense Innovation Unit to research a nuclear propulsion engine for spacecraft, also based on the EmberCore engine. There might be plenty of more use cases for this novel innovation in space exploration in the future.
Breder dan een voetbalveld: grootste vliegtuig ter wereld bijna klaar om hypersonische toestellen te lanceren
Het grootste vliegtuig ter wereld heeft een negende geslaagde testvlucht achter de rug. Voor het eerst bleef de Roc zes uur in de lucht en reikte de route verder dan de Mojavewoestijn (in het zuiden van Californië en Nevada; nvdr). Alles lijkt op koers om via deze mastodont uiteindelijk hypersonische raketten en toestellen te lanceren.
SVM, Sander Van den Broecke
De Roc heeft een spanwijdte van 117,3 meter, dat is breder dan een voetbalveld. Onder die gigantische vleugels zijn twee vliegtuigen parallel naast elkaar gemonteerd, waardoor het gevaarte lijkt op een catamaran.
Het grootste deel van de carrosserie is van carbon. Het tuig wordt aangedreven door zes motoren van een Boeing 747. Ook de cockpit van het luchtschip - die zich in één van de twee cabines bevindt - is gerecycleerd uit oude Boeing 747's. In het dashboard zitten zelfs nog analoge controle- en besturingsdisplays. Kortom: het is niet de NASA die dit toestel heeft ontworpen, het zijn echte ‘space cowboys’.
Medeoprichter Microsoft
Het ruimtevaartbedrijf StratoLaunch was een project van Paul Allen, de medeoprichter van Microsoft die zijn hele leven bezeten was van ruimtevaart. Zo bezeten dat hij er in 1981 - toen hij en Bill Gates volop het besturingssysteem voor de eerste IBM-computer aan het ontwikkelen waren - zomaar een tijdje tussenuit kneep om in Florida de lancering van de eerste Space Shuttle bij te wonen. Gates kon er niet mee lachen.
Jaren later leerde Allen een revolutionaire vliegtuigbouwer kennen. Bert Rutan, een Elvis-fan met grote bakkebaarden die de vreemdste toestellen ontwierp en ook de lucht in kreeg. De Roc was een idee van Rutan, het geld kwam van Allen. Allen heeft de eerste vlucht helaas niet mogen meemaken, hij overleed ruim vier jaar geleden.
Grote droom dichterbij
De Roc kan tien kilometer hoog vliegen en daar een raket droppen die zichzelf vervolgens het heelal in schiet. Het is in principe een eenvoudigere en ook goedkopere manier om ruimtetuigen te lanceren, maar de concurrentie met SpaceX (Elon Musk) en Blue Origin (Jeff Bezos) is uiteraard niet min.
Toch komt de grote droom steeds dichterbij. Voor de tweede keer werd nu een proeflancering van een onbemand hypersonisch onderzoeksvliegtuig getest. In de eerste helft van dit jaar nog zou een echte lancering moeten plaatsvinden.

The First 2023 UFO Photo from Venezuela
The First 2023 UFO Photo from Venezuela
Venezuela may have captured the first UFO photo of 2023, according to journalist Héctor Escalante. Escalante, who is known for his coverage of UFO sightings in Venezuela, shared the photo on his Instagram account, claiming it was taken by a man named Ricardo Monzón on January 7th in the Miranda Region. The photo appears to show a disc-shaped unidentified flying object in the sky, and Escalante notes that the shape and orientation of the object do not match that of any street lights in the area, leading him to believe it is not simply a reflection. While the authenticity of the photo has not been confirmed, it has sparked excitement and speculation among UFO enthusiasts in Venezuela and beyond.
VIDEOS! Giant Cigar-Shaped UFO Spotted in Multiple Locations Across South Africa
VIDEOS! Giant Cigar-Shaped UFO Spotted in Multiple Locations Across South Africa
On January 19th, 2023, a mysterious cigar-shaped UFO was spotted in multiple locations across South Africa, including Thohoyandou, Pretoria, Sandton, Bloemfontein, Bethlehem, Soweto, and Atlanta. Here’s the report of the UFO sighting that seen at around 8:02pm by a group of friends who were catching up next to their home in Thohoyandou.
According to the witness, the object initially appeared to be a very bright star, but as it got closer, it became longer and longer in size. The UFO had several bright straight lights and a ring or halo on its sides. One of the most striking things about the sighting was that no sound was heard coming from the object and it didn’t point in the direction it was going. Instead, it pointed slightly to the right but continued moving straight. The witness also opened her phone to check which satellite it was using the Skyview app and it showed nothing.
As the UFO passed overhead, the witnesses were unable to identify it as anything they had seen before. It was not something that could have been produced by human technology. The object disappeared quickly, becoming dim and then disappearing entirely, possibly at unimaginable speeds.
The UFO sightings were captured on video by the witnesseses and shared on social media, where it quickly gained attention. Other people also reported seeing the UFO in the same locations, adding to the intrigue surrounding the event.
This day in UFO history: The Varginha UFO Incident
This day in UFO history: The Varginha UFO Incident
The Varginha UFO incident is considered one of the most well-known and controversial cases in Brazilian ufology. It all began on 20th January 1996, when three young women, sisters Liliane and Valquíria Fátima Silva, and their friend Kátia Andrade Xavier, reported seeing a strange creature while they were out on a walk in a park in Varginha, Brazil.
They described the creature as being around 1.6 meters tall, with a large head and very thin body, with V-shaped feet, brown skin, and large red eyes. They said that the creature seemed to be unsteady or wobbling, and they assumed it was injured or sick. The Silva sisters reported that they were so frightened by the creature that they ran away and told their mother that they had seen the “devil”.
Their mother didn’t believe them at first, but when she went to the area where they had seen the creature, she reportedly smelled a strong ammonia-like odor and found nothing but footprints and a dog sniffing the place. This further added to the mystery of the incident and rumors began to spread throughout the city regarding UFO sightings and alien creatures being abducted by the military forces.
Two days later, another creature was allegedly found lying along a road, and three military trucks were reportedly sent to retrieve it. A similar sighting was reported at the local zoo by its janitor. In the following months, three animals at the zoo mysteriously died. Ufologist Roger Leir wrote a book, “UFO Crash in Brazil,” that included interviews from people who claimed two creatures were taken to a clinic before being removed by military personnel.
According to Eurico de Freitas and Oralina, they saw a UFO hovering over their farm. After going to investigate what was disturbing their cattle, she saw the object hovering over their field for around 40 minutes.
An official investigation carried out by the Brazilian military in 2010 revealed that the Silva sisters actually came across a mentally unstable homeless man named Muddinho.
Military officials presented photos of Mudinho, who they believed was a mentally unstable man with a mental disability. They also believed that the three women might have mistaken him for a space creature due to his physical characteristics.
An officer Lieutenant Colonel Lúcio Carlos Finholdt Pereira leading the investigation noted that the military vehicles were operating normally that night.
He also noted that the presence of military vehicles and firefighters in the area was not a coincidence. The officers explained that the activities of the military and firefighters that night were actually real.
The incident has sparked numerous theories and speculations, with many people convinced that the Brazilian government is hiding the truth about the capture of extraterrestrial beings. Despite the official explanation, the incident remains a subject of debate and interest among UFO enthusiasts and researchers. The incident has also been the subject of several films and documentaries, further fueling the publicinterest in the case.
The water tower in Varginha City’s central park, shaped like a spaceship, serves as a reminder of the infamous 1996 UFO incident that occurred in the city.
Despite the official explanation, many people remain skeptical and believe that the Brazilian government is hiding the truth about the capture of extraterrestrial beings. Some have pointed to alleged inconsistencies in the official story, such as the fact that the military trucks were seen in the area at the time of the creature’s sighting and that the creatures’ descriptions did not match that of a homeless person. Some ufologists have also pointed to the presence of strange markings and burn marks on the creature’s body, which they believe were caused by military equipment used to capture the creature.
The incident has also been the subject of several films and documentaries, including “The Varginha Incident” and “UFOs in Brazil: The Varginha Case.” These productions have further fueled the public’s interest in the case and have brought it to a global audience.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence and the official explanation, the Varginha UFO incident remains one of the most well-known and debated cases in Brazilian ufology. It continues to be a subject of interest among researchers, UFO enthusiasts, and the general public, who are all searching for answers about what really happened in Varginha in 1996.

Apollo 20: The Secret Mission to the Moon to Salvage an Ancient Alien Spacecraft
The Apollo spaceflight program lasted from 1961 to 1972.
Apollo 11 was Neil Armstrong's famous first step. Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the moon.
In all, 20 Apollo flights were planned but Apollo 18, 19 and 20 were canceled.
But in 2007, a retired astronaut blew the whistle and claimed Apollo 18, 19 and 20 did happen. But they were highly classified. He knows this because was the commander of Apollo 20.
He said the reason these missions were kept secret is because of what they found on the moon.
Well, not just what they found -- also who they found.

It is actually very normal for new finds and discoveries to first puzzle scientists in their relevant fields. What is a new discovery all about, what is its context and what can it tell us that is significant to the bigger picture? But then there are discoveries that do not simply cause speechlessness for a moment. Many finds cannot be explained or put into a larger context, even years later, and quickly these things become a great mystery to the relevant fields. This is also the case with the following examples, which have been analysed frequently and for which there are many theories, but proof for these theories is still lacking in many cases.

Distant Hydrogen
An international team of researchers have detected radio signals originating from an extremely distant galaxy, using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope in India.
The discovery marks the first time we've ever been able to detect these kinds of signals, believed to have been produced by atomic hydrogen in a star-forming galaxy, over such an immense distance — 8.8 billion years to travel to Earth, to be precise.
It's especially noteworthy as atomic hydrogen is the basic fuel that drives the formation of stars, meaning that the research could help us understand how stars form in galaxies billions of light-years away.
Bent Light
The astronomers took advantage of gravitational lensing, the phenomenon in which a massive body located between the source and the observer, such as a galaxy, bends light being emitted by distant source.
"A galaxy emits different kinds of radio signals," said Arnab Chakraborty, post-doc researcher at McGill University, and lead author of a new study published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, in a statement. "Until now, it’s only been possible to capture this particular signal from a galaxy nearby, limiting our knowledge to those galaxies closer to Earth."
"But thanks to the help of a naturally occurring phenomenon called gravitational lensing, we can capture a faint signal from a record-breaking distance," Chakraborty said.
"This will help us understand the composition of galaxies at much greater distances from Earth," he added.
The researchers hope that their results could lead to new ways of studying distant galaxies with existing low-frequency radio telescopes, which could be key to unlocking the mysteries of how the cosmos evolved over the life of the universe.

In special reports, this week’s files cover: Admiral Fahrney UFOs are Entering Earth at High Speed, Hidden Photos of Ancient Antarctica City Discovered, Robert Shiepe Discovered Tiny UAP/UFOs, Numerous Explosive Sunspots, and Greska Carbon 60. And December 2022 MUFON Sightings
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, and Texas.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Mexico, Scotland, and England in the United Kingdom.
The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs and we continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Admiral Fahrney UFOs are Entering Earth at High Speed
Admiral Delmer S. Fahrne
Retired Rear Admiral Delmer S. Fahrney, once head of the Navy’s guided missile program, said reliable reports indicate that “there are objects coming into our atmosphere at very high speeds. Fahrney told a news conference that “no agency in this country or Russia is able to duplicate at this time the speeds and accelerations which radar and observers indicate these flying objects are able to achieve. On January 16, 1957 – the day after NICAP’s Board of Governors met for the first time – Board Chairman Delmer S. Fahrney called a press conference. News media all over the country quoted his statements identifying him as one of the few “top brasses” to speak out in defense of UFOs.
WASHINGTON AP – Retired Rear Adm. Delmer S. Fahrney said he has talked with a number of scientists and engineers who reported seeing strange flying objects. He added, “There are signs that intelligence directs such objects because of the way they fly. They are not entirely actuated by automatic equipment.” He said, “By the way they change position in formations and override each other would indicate that their motion involves a tremendous amount of technology of which we have no knowledge,and that their development must have taken a long period of time.” Thanks to NICAP
Navy Admiral Delmar S. Fahrney, former head of the Navy’s guided-missile program, the statement was printed in New York Times, on January 17, 1957
“Reliable reports indicate there are objects coming into our atmosphere at very high speeds and controlled by thinking intelligence’s.”

On January 16, 1957 – the day after the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP’s) Board of Governors met for the first time – Board Chairman Delmer S. Fahrney called a press conference. News media all over the country quoted his statements identifying him as one of the few “top brass” to speak out in defense of UFOs.
We absolutely know that many high ranking Navy officers were interested in the phenomenon. Roscoe Hillenkoetter himself joined NICAP and was willing to speak very publicly and to congress about the goodness of what NICAP was doing and that UFOs seemed to be a real but non-terrestrial mystery. He was far from alone.
Office of Naval Research chief Admiral Calvin Bolster apparently believed the same, although Keyhoe and Fahrney were never able to get him to come out publicly with a statement. Several other Navy officers were NICAP members and Keyhoe occasionally got “leaks” from Navy people who obviously disliked USAF policy.
There were many in the Navy sympathetic to research on the phenomenon and impatient with their rival service. One of these “conversations” which resulted in a massive “leak” was reported by Keyhoe in his 1960 book.
In “FLYING SAUCERS: Top Secret,” Keyhoe described a meeting with two naval officers which had been arranged “by an old classmate [from the Naval Academy] of mine”. The meeting was in 1958, just after Dick Hall arrived at NICAP, and Keyhoe discussed the content of it with Dick. Using aliases, he described a meeting with a Navy Captain and a Commander in their office and quite “private.” The officers danced about to begin with asking Keyhoe all manner of probing questions–as it turned out they were trying to get him to betray confidential sources of information to see if he could be trusted not to breach such confidentialities. Keyhoe passed the test, though not until wondering for a moment if these guys were setting him up for something. [Because of his good friend who had arranged this, he didn’t think that it could possibly be such a set-up and was patient].
Ultimately the officers were convinced and began telling him of “hidden” cases from naval personnel. Keyhoe was told that they had been keeping a “log” of these things. They were keeping it [on naval sightings only] “with the Admiral’s consent.” So, who was the “Admiral”? Normally that would mean THE Admiral, Chief of Naval Operations, Arleigh A. Burke. It appears the Chief of Staff of the Navy was interested in someone keeping track of UFOs? We can assume like the Air Force their personnel were tracking UFOs. My contacts claim UFOs were often seen and tracked underwater moving at high speeds at over a hundred knots. They were also seen departing and entering the water. Thanks to NICAP
Commander Graham Bethune VIP Pilot
A friend of mine Commander Bethune a pilot for Navy VIPs often flew Admiral Fahrney to Wright Patterson Air Force Base where he claimed some alien craft were kept.
Commander Graham Bethune the pilot for the Navy Brass had his own sighting of a huge UFO over the Atlantic and claims he flew Admirals to various crash sites and became friendly with Admiral Fahrney and frequently flew him to Wright Patterson AFB to consult with Air Force personnel concerning UFOs.
Graham told me he had flown the Secretary of the Navy Kimball, and was what you would call a VIP Plane Commander in the Flag Division, which flew most of the high-ranking officers and civilians out of Washington, D.C. Several of these officials told him what they had also seen UFOs. For example, there were two craft flying together out in the Pacific. And a bright disc came up beside one of them and stayed with them for a while and flew around them. He often flew Admiral Fahrney and other officers to Wright Patterson Air Force Base for meetings with Air Force personnel regarding extraterrestrials. Commander Bethune stated, “I parked our plane on the flight line near a corrugated metal hanger where Admiral Fahrney indicated a UFO was parked.” Every time my boss and I would go by there he couldn’t understand why I was not interested in going in and looking at what was behind the metal wall back there. And he told me basically that they had a craft (UFO) back there. And he told me they also had ET bodies there in caskets with Plexiglas you could see through. Fahrney told Bethune, “The policy of secrecy was a big mistake. The Navy became primary researchers for the government while the Air Force took most the heat from the news media.”
From discussions that he had had with Admiral Forney he learned he was convinced that craft from other planets were visiting us.
Nazi UFO Haunebu Mark III
They frequently met an Air Force Colonel Harold Watson who later was promoted to Major General. He was the Commander of Foreign Technology Division and personally recovered numerous advanced Nazi aircraft at the close of World War II. He let them look at Nazi and ET files. Colonel Watson worked closely with Admiral Fahrney and showed him what they had there including the advanced Nazi aircraft, ET craft and bodies, Fahrney couldn’t understand why Commander Bethune wasn’t interested in seeing them. Interestingly later, Bethune became quite interested in UFOs and was unhappy he didn’t take advantage of the offers. He knows there were ET craft and bodies at Wright Patterson AFB but never admitted to seeing them there. Thanks to Graham Bethune.
Recently, UFO hunters made two seemingly unrelated discoveries that immediately got added to the portfolio evidencing the signs of a strange alien or ancient presence on our planet. Scientists speculate that 10,000 years ago the massive ice sheets were melting creating an ocean surrounded by ice. A giant wall of ice suddenly broke perhaps caused by a meteor and the water poured into the Atlantic suddenly raising the ocean by some 30 feet. The controversial images were obtained through Google Maps, revealing two enormous underwater structures that conventional science cannot explain. The face of the Earth is shaped by processes like erosion and accretion and what was once standing tall might now rest covered by the watery abyss. And since our planet is mostly covered with water, just imagine what things still lay unseen, hidden from our curious, collective gaze.
Possible Underwater Gulf of California , Mexico Base
The first underwater edifice was spotted on July 15 by YouTube user MEXICOGEEK just off the coast of the Gulf of California and conspiracy theorists are already calling the remains of a massive alien city. Measuring over 70 miles in length, the strange structure looks like it was constructed with geometric patterns in mind. Its symmetry and straight lines stretching for tens of miles seem to rule out any natural formation, favoring the intelligently designed hypothesis.
UFO Sightings Daily’s Scott C. Waring believes this alien base is connected to all the UFO sightings coming out of Mexico and the entire Central and South America. “This base is huge and it’s no wonder why we hear about so many UFO sightings over Mexico,” he writes. “This base is just 45 miles away from the Mexican coast. The chances of this being an intelligently made structure… I put that at 100 percent.”
It’s interesting to note the similarity between the structure’s arrangement and that of an airport’s landing strips when viewed from above. However, the sheer size of the tubular structures that make up the underwater network means they must have served a different purpose. It is unfortunate that we might never know what that purpose was, but unless the scientific community decides to investigate the matter in a thorough, transparent way, we’ll remain clueless. Coordinates for the underwater base are here.
North of the coast of Venezuela,
The second place of interest can be found north of the coast of Venezuela, halfway between Curacao and Puerto Rico (Coordinates here). It has an even stranger, more discrepant architecture consisting of zigzag lines and an f in the center. In terms of size, it is just as massive as the one from the Gulf of California, measuring approximately 90 miles from tip to tip. But the strangest characteristic has to be its shape. What geological processes could have produced such an odd contour, exhibiting symmetry, straight lines and 90-degree angles? Is it even reasonable to comfortably assume this underwater structure is natural?
‘A another set of structural artifacts resting just 50 miles northeast of the Venezuela anomaly (coordinates). Due to its proximity, this secondary irregularity appears to be connected to the first one. Images suggest it is composed of a string of rectangular structures spread across the ocean floor in a straight line. to be made.
The enigma of USOs or unidentified submerged objects likely indicate that UFOs and USOs are the same craft, which have been spotted entering or exiting aquatic environments. The bottom of the ocean or lakes is an ideal place to build bases since UFOs are capable of traversing cosmic distances surviving the pressure of the oceanic depths seems an easy task.
USO surfacing in Arctic Ocean
So if Earth’s seas and oceans are harboring otherworldly visitors, or an underwater civilization could these anomalies be still operational? If so, they could be responsible for the numerous UFO sightings reported on or around the American continents. These places would make a great starting point in our search for alien life here on Earth. Even if they were operational a long time ago and have since been deserted, compelling evidence could still be found.
If the structures are artificial but were not made by aliens, the mystery shifts but retains its intensity. Our current technological level wouldn’t allow us to build such complex underwater constructions, meaning that whoever built them was far more advanced than we are. Both of the areas where the anomalies were discovered have been submerged for millions of years and the dynamics of the seabed would have erased all signs of their existence had they been built before the area was covered with water. In the end, no-one can say for sure what these structures are and, until someone goes on an underwater expedition James Cameron style, the puzzle will remain unanswered.
Air Intelligence Division Study No. 203 with the help of the Office of Naval Intelligence was well aware of the phenomenon’s marine nature. This document links the Office of Naval Intelligence to association with the study of the UFO phenomenon and was not strictly an Air Force operation. The naval UFO experience may be more involved than the Air Force?
Recent reports by UFO researchers suggest there is an ongoing Navy effort to destroy any evidence linking the Navy to the UFO phenomenon. UFO researchers report UFO sightings are being edited out of ship’s logs, which confirms a considerable naval sensitivity to the phenomenon and naval archives in Seacaus, New Jersey appear to have been purposely sabotaged. Documents are missing and files have purposely been mixed chronologically thwarting researchers attempts to do meaningful research at this facility.
Sonar operator Account -British Track USO
One of Ivan Sanderson’s sources stated that no less than 13 British craft recorded in their logs that their sonar’s had tracked this object at high speed underwater. Allegedly, the unknown target continued to be tracked for four days as it maneuvered down to depths of 27,000 feet! Nothing of known earthly origin can travel underwater at such speeds or maneuver at such depths. The fastest nuclear subs can attain 45 knots (52 miles per hour) and dive to around 3,000 feet. –
It is unfortunate that more than 21 years elapsed before the Preston case reached the attention of a UFO investigator. We have here yet another example of government UFO secrecy at work–this time a foreign nation, Great Britain. Largely due to his apprehension over potential repercussions if he revealed his experience,
Clarkson writes, “ Former President Donald J. Trump developed the “Space Force,”. After telling an audience at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar that “space is a war fighting domain,” Trump tossed off the idea “that “we may even have a space force.” Also the Air Force announced that the 200 man National Space Defense Center will operate 24 hours seven days a week to protect US satellites. It appears offensive forces would be needed conduct combat operations to protect the satellites. The following stories may show what in space.
Hidden Photos of Ancient Antarctica City Discovered
Captain Robert Falcon Scott
Captain Robert Falcon Scott, CVO, (6 June 1868 – c. 29 March 1912) (aged 43), was a British Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery expedition of 1901–1904 and the ill-fated Terra Nova expedition of 1910–1913. On the first expedition, he set a new southern record by marching to latitude 82° and discovered the Antarctic

Race to the Pole
They reached Antarctica in January, a few weeks later than planned. The early months of the expedition were spent laying depots and taking smaller scientific expeditions. Roald Amundsen‘s Norwegian Expedition was camped not far off, and Scott’s group felt the pressure to be the first to reach the South Pole.
Scott’s path to the South Pole took a different route than Amundsen’s, as seen in the map above. After enduring months of bitter cold and blizzards, Scott and the four men he’d chosen to make the full trek arrived at the pole. There they found Amundsen’s flag and a letter dated December 14, 1911. The Norwegian team had beat them to the South Pole to claim the first discovery of the South Pole prize. In 1941 British Commandoes Reported Flying Saucers, submarines, and Fortification’s at the German Neuschwabenland, officially known as Queen Maud Land that was directly across Antarctic where German bases were established, and another ancient city existed. The finding of tree fossils proved Antarctic was once a mild climate.
‘Editor’s Note:It is possible Antarctic is the Atlantis, Plato was describing when it was a warmer temperature. Roughly 12,900 years ago, massive global cooling kicked in abruptly, along with the end of the line for some 35 different mammal species, including the mammoth. They are also running scared of the date Plato gave for the final destruction of Atlantis, 9000 years before his time, “beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Strait of Gibraltar)”, “larger than Libya and Asia put together, surrounded by the true ocean.”. This is hardly the description of Santorini in the Aegean Sea! Many writers of antiquity look back to Atlantis as a once great civilization which lost its way and was destroyed by natural disaster. The soil was rich, the engineers technically accomplished, the architecture extravagant with baths, harbor installations, and barracks. The central plain outside the city had canals and a magnificent irrigation system. Atlantis had kings and a civil administration, as well as an organized military.
Robert Shiepe Discovered Tiny UAP/UFOs
Pharmacist Dr.Robert Shiepe
Robert Shiepe is the discovery and creator of a new subliminal photography that makes it possible to find and record unknown, fast small moving objects. Robert Shiepe (pictured with his cameras above) lives in Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles. In 2017, he noticed some new unusual flying activity by the Army, Coast Guard and LA Police (LAPD choppers). He has recorded and documented over 4000 videos. The authorities are now and have been chasing an uncatchable drone approximately the size of a football. These drones are nearly invisible to the human eye (too fast) but not to the camera. For obvious reasons, this story is not yet in the news. He has personally given this information to the echelon of Aviation and the intelligence community and SETI and the Air Force.
Robert Shiepe, Pharmacist, is inventor and founder of the first mail order pharmacy in the United States in 1986.
These small drone-like objects here and now will be referred to as ”Dragons” because their silhouette resembles that of a ‘dragon fly’. These dragons have been chased by many agencies, over 3000 sorties. These dragons are also being recorded by at least three ocean vessels and have been recorded in Marina del Rey and north to Venice beach.
Small 10-inch UAP/UFOs
‘Robert Shiepe is the discovery and creator of a new subliminal photography that makes it possible to find and record unknown, fast small moving objects. These unknown small drones were first recorded Feb. 2018; however, I do have video that goes back to 2015. These small drone-like objects here and now will be referred to as ”Dragons” because their silhouette resembles that of a ‘dragon fly’. These dragons have been chased by many agencies, over 3000 sorties. These dragons are also being recorded by at least three ocean vessels and have been recorded in Marina del Rey and a little norht Venice beach.*
Shiepe Videos from 1500 feet high from Marina Overlooking Ocean
Shiepe claims they are extremely hard to detect and record. My intellectual property has made this ”work product” videos possible. These copper / brass tone dragons are about 10 inch in diameter. Their speed is about 1300 mph , to 2,000 mph. When dragons fly, there is a plasma like discharge that looks like wings on a dragon fly. My guess is that they are using highly advance super-conductors that can tolerate extreme high volts. The army and police often chase these UAP / dragons to the jetty rocks in Marina del Rey. I think these dragons refuel with helium from the ocean, this is one reason why they can turn orange. Hot helium plasma is orange.
It is my hope that this new information / technology will motivate the young new students to become smarter scientist. This new discovery will be my legacy to humanity. This information is going to be electronically stored with the Writers Guild of America West Registry and the U.S. Patent office. They will be a custodian of this information.
The wings resemble insect wings but do not flap. The wings are often oriented vertically to the ground. They do not have feathers like birds.

UAPs often sit on Electric Lines and Likely take power from Lines
Dragon UAP on Electric Wires
Of course it is exactly hard to say why these UAP’s are flying in Marina del Rey. ever since 1960 and probably in many other places/. This area has been a hotspot for UFOs, especially on June 15 1992 there were over 100 UAP’s that came out of the ocean at night in front of thousands of witnesses in Malibu.
Alleged Underwater Bases in Pacific Ocean
The UAPs are often seen entering and coming out of the Pacific Ocean. I am also considering the possibility that these new UAP’s are flying in front of my camera and Marina del Rey because of my past research with UFO’s. these UAP’s tend to fly by whenever I ask them to when I am recording. It is my hope that with the help of many other professional researchers that we will find answers to this mystery. I am open to all questions regarding these UAP’s.
Alleged Underwater Bases in Pacific Ocean
The UAPs are often seen entering and coming out of the Pacific Ocean. I am also considering the possibility that these new UAP’s are flying in front of my camera and Marina del Rey because of my past research with UFO’s. these UAP’s tend to fly by whenever I ask them to when I am recording. It is my hope that with the help of many other professional researchers that we will find answers to this mystery. I am open to all questions regarding these UAP’s.

Numerous Explosive Sunspots
Typical Solar Flare with Strange Object Near by
EVERY SUNSPOT WANTS TO FLARE: It seems like every spot on the sun wants to flare. In the past week alone, three different sunspots have produced the largest X-flares, and even more are crackling with M-class flares. With unstable sunspots scattered across the face of the sun, the chance of a geo-effective flare today is greater than 70%. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text. With the heavy activity of the sun given at the beginning of this year is part of solar cycle 25 reaching its maximum?
I think it is more likely to be the first half of 2024. The two hemispheres are much closer to in phase this time compared to the last cycle, and it will be interesting to see if we get a single peak roughly halfway between the two peaks of the last cycle. Also, if the hemispheres’ last cycle had been in phase, then the peak would have been 140 instead of 116. Judging by the latitude of the polar crown filaments, we’re not there yet for at least another 1-2 years. Solar flares bouncing a slight energy have caused computer and power problems on Earth. While Earth’s magnetic field prevents widespread death from solar radiation, a direct hit of Earth from the Sun Flare could cause massive problems. The sheer electromagnetic power of a flare could disrupt power grids, internet connections, and other communication devices and computers on Earth, resulting in chaos and potentially even death.
COMET ZTF AT PERIHELION:Comet ZTF (C/2022 E3) hasn’t been this hot in 50,000 years. Today, Jan. 12th, the comet makes its closest approach to the sun (perihelion) only 1.1 AU away. Solar heat has turned it into an easy target for backyard telescopes:
TWO YEARS OF SUNSPOTS: On almost every clear day in Santiago, Chile, Patricio Leon takes a picture of the sun. Lately, he’s noticed a lot more sunspots. To illustrate the change, he stacked hundreds of images from 2021 and 2022:’
2021——–Sun Spots——— 2022
“This composite includes 110 solar images captured in 2021 and 159 in 2022,” says Leon. “Nearly all days with major sunspots are present. Although this is not a scientific controlled study, variables such as cloudy days and holiday interruptions tend to even out in the large number of observations. The disparity between the two years agrees well with developing Solar Cycle 25.” Recent airline delays may have been caused by computer problem related to a solar flare.

“George Filer”: mentioned in an influential paper by John Doull
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Admiral Fahrney UFOs are Entering Earth at High Speed, Hidden Photos of Ancient Antarctica City Discovered, Robert Shiepe Discovered Tiny UAP/UFOs, Numerous Explosive Sunspots, and Greska Carbon 60. And December 2022 MUFON Sightings
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, and Texas.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Mexico, Scotland, and England in the United Kingdom.
The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs and we continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer and Flyers 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.

UFO with Cloud Trail Over Hoofddorp, Netherlands On Jan 17, 2023, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO with Cloud Trail Over Hoofddorp, Netherlands On Jan 17, 2023, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Jan 17, 2023 Location of sighting: Hoofddorp, Netherlands
Hey check this out. Here is a sighting recorded in Netherlands two days ago and a dark object was seen in the sky leaving a contrail-like cloud behind it. The sky was overcast and easy for it to hide, but it still stood out well. From the looks of it, it appears to be the size of city bus and yet, its just sitting there, as if waiting for something. I wish we had more footage of this. It looks like it came from an underground base, made its way to apoint where it will sit, but I have a feeling it pointed areas each had a single ball of light that lights up when it powers up for shooting away. Seen such things before in other reports. Fantastic capture.
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
While driving I saw on my window side (co-driver). A small cloud emerged. So I was dumbfounded then that dark wisp came out of the cloud this lasted about 30 seconds and then it was gone.
Coincidental or not but the analysis of Suspicious0bservers is comparable with some of Baba Vanga's predictions, that a big astronomical event will occur as Earth's orbit will change and as a result of this event, it could have catastrophic consequences on Earth as well as the Earth will be hit by an unprecedented solar storm on a scale the world has never before seen.
Unidentified flying objects spotted in Texas? Discover the mysterious lights that left experts stumped and have people questioning if it’s proof of a UFO or just a mystery in our latest article.
In September 2018, a group of friends in Tomball, Texas were astounded by mysterious lights in the sky. Three teardrop-shaped glowing objects appeared to be hovering in a deliberate, coordinated motion. Nick Daily, one of the friends who witnessed the event, stated that they would circle around in formation and then come back to a triangle formation, describing the experience as “incredible”. He also stated that, as an ex-military member, he had never seen anything like it.
According to author and journalist Alexis Brooks, this is far from the first time mysterious lights have been spotted in Texas. In April 2022, similar lights were seen in the town of Kyle, Texas. These lights had an orange glow and local officials were unable to provide an explanation.
The lights in Tomball have also been described as “phasing”, where the craft change their atomic structure so that they appear to be dematerializing and rematerializing. This has led some to speculate that the lights were UFOs.
To get to the bottom of the incident, video forensic expert Michael Primeau and aviation expert Tim McMillan were consulted. Primeau determined that the footage appeared to be authentic and that no known file signatures were identified. McMillan stated that the movements of the lights were not consistent with fixed-wing aircraft and that they were too close to be conventional aircraft.
Astronomer and video effects editor Marc D’Antonio was also consulted. While he could not provide a definitive explanation for the lights, he did note that the incident in Tomball was alone reported UFO sighting in Texas. In fact, one of the first reported UFO incidents in Texas was on April 17, 1897, when a UFO crashed on a farm near Aurora, Texas, with claims of an alien pilot found dead inside.
The question remains: were the lights in Tomball proof of a UFO or just a mystery the size of the Lone Star State? The experts can only provide their analysis of the footage, but it is up to the viewer to come to their own conclusion.
UFOs in Germany: The unsolved mystery of the Greifswald incident
UFOs in Germany: The unsolved mystery of the Greifswald incident
Uncover the unsolved mystery of the Greifswald UFO incident of 1990. Witness accounts & theories analyzed in search of proof of intelligent life from other worlds.
On August 24, 1990, a group of UFO researchers set out on a journey from Xanten to Usedom to investigate a mysterious incident involving unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in Greifswald. The incident had occurred a few weeks prior and had generated a lot of buzz in the local community, with many people claiming to have seen strange lights in the sky. The researchers were determined to get to the bottom of the mystery and find out what had really happened.
The first stop on their journey was Ahlbeck, a small town on the island of Usedom. This is where one of the most well-known witnesses of the incident, Jens Hollard, lived. Hollard had been sitting in a beer garden with his girlfriend on the night of the incident and had seen something that he couldn’t explain. The researchers met with Hollard and listened intently as he recounted his experience.
“I was sitting here with my girlfriend, enjoying a beer and the nice weather, when I saw something strange in the sky,” said Hollard. “At first, I thought it was an airplane, but it was moving in ways that I had never seen before. It was moving up and down, and it seemed to change shape. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
Hollard went on to describe how the object had appeared to be made up of several smaller lights that were all moving together in unison. He said that it was difficult to tell how far away the object was, but it seemed to be moving very quickly. He also mentioned that he had heard no sound coming from the object.
The researchers asked Hollard if he had any idea what the object could have been. He shook his head and said, “I have no idea. I’m not a UFO fanatic or anything like that, but this is definitely something that I’ve never seen before. It’s definitely not a normal aircraft.”
The researchers thanked Hollard for his time and set out to interview other witnesses. The next stop was the town of Greifswald, where they met with Kettmann, another witness of the incident. Kettmann had been in the town square on the night of the incident and had seen a chain of bright lights in the sky.
“It was amazing,” said Kettmann. “The whole square was full of people looking up at the sky. The lights were just hanging there, not moving. They were like glowing orbs. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
Kettmann went on to say that the lights had been visible for several hours, which he found to be unusual. He said that military flares typically only last for a few minutes, but these lights had been visible for much longer. He also mentioned that he had heard no sound coming from the lights.
The researchers thanked Kettmann for his time and set out to investigate further. They spoke with several other witnesses and examined the area where the lights had been seen. They also searched for any possible physical evidence, such as debris or burn marks on the ground. However, they were unable to find any concrete evidence that could explain the incident.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the researchers were convinced that something strange and unexplained had occurred in Greifswald on August 24, 1990. The accounts of the witnesses were too consistent and detailed to be dismissed as mere hoaxes or hallucinations. The researchers continued to investigate the incident, hoping to find definitive proof of intelligent life from other worlds.
The Greifswald UFO incident remains a mystery to this day. The researchers never found any concrete evidence that could explain the incident, but the accounts of the witnesses and their detailed descriptions of the event are intriguing and leave open the possibility of something truly mysterious and unexplained. The incident has been studied by UFO researchers and enthusiasts for decades, and it continues to generate interest and speculation.
One theory that has been put forward to explain the incident is that the lights were some kind of military experiment or test. However, this theory has been debunked by the fact that no military exercises were taking place in the area at the time and that the lights were visible for several hours, which is much longer than the typical duration of a military flare.
Another theory is that the lights were some kind of natural phenomenon, such as a meteor shower or a display of the Northern Lights. However, this theory is also unlikely, as the lights were seen in a specific location and were moving in a coordinated fashion, which is not characteristic of a meteor shower or aurora.
Despite the lack of a clear explanation, the Greifswald UFO incident remains one of the most intriguing and well-documented UFO sightings in recent history. The researchers involved in the investigation continue to search for answers, and the hope remains that one day they will find the ultimate proof that intelligent life from other worlds exists.
In conclusion, the mysterious lights of the Greifswald UFO incident, August 24, 1990, are still unsolved till today, it is still a topic for discussion for UFO enthusiasts and researchers. The detailed accounts of the witnesses and the lack of any concrete evidence make it a mysterious and intriguing event that leaves open the possibility of the existence of intelligent life from other worlds.

Elon Musk declared SpaceX Starship factory to build five Megarockets in 2023 SHOCKED others...
Rockets are some of the most complex creations ever achieved by humanity. Lots of math, chemistry, physics, engineering tolerances - you name it. Yet, Elon Musk just declared SpaceX Starship factory to build up to five Megarockets in 2023 which is really SHOCKING all the others! But can this plan come true? Analyze everything about this in today's episode of Alpha Tech:
On January 14, Elon Musk shared the company has plans to build “about five full stacks” of Starship in 2023. This is certainly a bold plan. Let's talk about the Starship scale:
The launch vehicle is undergoing development at the Starbase facility located in Boca Chica Beach, Texas. Starship is composed of two stages, a spacecraft that is propelled to orbit by a Super Heavy rocket powered by 33 methane-fueled Raptor V2 engines. Impressively, when fully stacked, it is 390-feet-high which is taller than the U.S. Statue of Liberty. Starship is destined to become the world’s most powerful fully-reusable rocket.
According to Musk, SpaceX aims to build “about five full stacks” this year, translating to five flightworthy Starships and five Super Heavy boosters.
In 2022, SpaceX finished Booster 7 and built Booster 8, Booster 9, and most of the Booster 10. Booster 8 was almost immediately relegated to the retirement yard. Booster 9, featuring some significant design changes, completed a limited amount of proof testing and returned to the factory in early January – likely for Raptor engine installation. The fate of Booster 10 is unclear, but it stands as a prime example of how fast SpaceX can actually build massive Starship hardware when conditions are right. SpaceX began stacking B10 in late October 2022 and the vehicle is just two stacks away from full height three months later. Elon Musk declared SpaceX Starship factory to build five Megarockets in 2023 SHOCKED others..

Triton, The Moon That Was A Dwarf Planet
Triton, The moon that was a Dwarf Planet
When you look at Triton and beyond, it doesn’t look like any of the other known systems. It is among some known Satellites which have many geysers, erupting liquid nitrogen five miles in the sky. The atmosphere is also freezing, with temperatures ranging from -235 to -210 degrees Celsius. Triton is one of the most strong moons in our Solar System. Neptune’s Satellites are dominated mainly by its moon to such an extent that it almost kicked some of Neptune’s moon out of their orbit.
Neptune has 14 known Satellites, the most massive of which is Triton. Neptune's Triton is the seventh-largest moon in the Solar System and the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit. It was discovered in 1846 by British astronomer William Lassell, who named it after the Greek god of the sea, Triton. It is also Neptune’s first moon to be discovered. With a surface temperature of only 38 Kelvin, the satellite is one of the coldest objects in the Solar System, only second to Uranus. It is an exciting and mysterious world, and its exploration will yield many interesting discoveries. It has been researched extensively since its discovery. - - "If You happen to see any content that is yours, and we didn't give credit in the right manner please let us know at Lorenzovareseaziendale@gmail.com and we will correct it immediately"

Scientists and publishing specialists are concerned that the increasing sophistication of chatbots could undermine research integrity and accuracy.
Credit: Ted Hsu/Alamy
An artificial-intelligence (AI) chatbot can write such convincing fake research-paper abstracts that scientists are often unable to spot them, according to a preprint posted on the bioRxiv server in late December1. Researchers are divided over the implications for science.
“I am very worried,” says Sandra Wachter, who studies technology and regulation at the University of Oxford, UK, and was not involved in the research. “If we’re now in a situation where the experts are not able to determine what’s true or not, we lose the middleman that we desperately need to guide us through complicated topics,” she adds.
The chatbot, ChatGPT, creates realistic and intelligent-sounding text in response to user prompts. It is a ‘large language model’, a system based on neural networks that learn to perform a task by digesting huge amounts of existing human-generated text. Software company OpenAI, based in San Francisco, California, released the tool on 30 November, and it is free to use.
Since its release, researchers have been grappling with the ethical issues surrounding its use, because much of its output can be difficult to distinguish from human-written text. Scientists have published a preprint2 and an editorial3 written by ChatGPT. Now, a group led by Catherine Gao at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, has used ChatGPT to generate artificial research-paper abstracts to test whether scientists can spot them.
The researchers asked the chatbot to write 50 medical-research abstracts based on a selection published in JAMA, The New England Journal of Medicine, The BMJ, The Lancet and Nature Medicine. They then compared these with the original abstracts by running them through a plagiarism detector and an AI-output detector, and they asked a group of medical researchers to spot the fabricated abstracts.
Under the radar
The ChatGPT-generated abstracts sailed through the plagiarism checker: the median originality score was 100%, which indicates that no plagiarism was detected. The AI-output detector spotted 66% the generated abstracts. But the human reviewers didn't do much better: they correctly identified only 68% of the generated abstracts and 86% of the genuine abstracts. They incorrectly identified 32% of the generated abstracts as being real and 14% of the genuine abstracts as being generated.
“ChatGPT writes believable scientific abstracts,” say Gao and colleagues in the preprint. “The boundaries of ethical and acceptable use of large language models to help scientific writing remain to be determined.”
Wachter says that, if scientists can’t determine whether research is true, there could be “dire consequences”. As well as being problematic for researchers, who could be pulled down flawed routes of investigation, because the research they are reading has been fabricated, there are “implications for society at large because scientific research plays such a huge role in our society”. For example, it could mean that research-informed policy decisions are incorrect, she adds.
But Arvind Narayanan, a computer scientist at Princeton University in New Jersey, says: “It is unlikely that any serious scientist will use ChatGPT to generate abstracts.” He adds that whether generated abstracts can be detected is “irrelevant”. “The question is whether the tool can generate an abstract that is accurate and compelling. It can’t, and so the upside of using ChatGPT is minuscule, and the downside is significant,” he says.
Irene Solaiman, who researches the social impact of AI at Hugging Face, an AI company with headquarters in New York and Paris, has fears about any reliance on large language models for scientific thinking. “These models are trained on past information and social and scientific progress can often come from thinking, or being open to thinking, differently from the past,” she adds.
The authors suggest that those evaluating scientific communications, such as research papers and conference proceedings, should put policies in place to stamp out the use of AI-generated texts. If institutions choose to allow use of the technology in certain cases, they should establish clear rules around disclosure. Earlier this month, the Fortieth International Conference on Machine Learning, a large AI conference that will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, in July, announced that it has banned papers written by ChatGPT and other AI language tools.
Solaiman adds that in fields where fake information can endanger people’s safety, such as medicine, journals may have to take a more rigorous approach to verifying information as accurate.
Narayanan says that the solutions to these issues should not focus on the chatbot itself, “but rather the perverse incentives that lead to this behaviour, such as universities conducting hiring and promotion reviews by counting papers with no regard to their quality or impact”.

A rapidly firing laser can divert lightning strikes, scientists have shown for the first time in real-world experiments1. The work suggests that laser beams could be used as lightning rods to protect infrastructure, although perhaps not any time soon.
“The achievement is impressive given that the scientific community has been working hard along this objective for more than 20 years,” says Stelios Tzortzakis, a laser physicist at the University of Crete, Greece, who was not involved in the research. “If it’s useful or not, only time can say.”
Metal lightning rods are commonly used to divert lightning strikes and safely dissipate their charge. But the rods’ size is limited, meaning that so, too, is the area they protect.
Physicists have wondered whether lasers could enhance protection, because they can reach higher into the sky than a physical structure and can point in any direction. But despite successful laboratory demonstrations, researchers have never before succeeded in field campaigns, says Tzortzakis.
Bolt from the blue
To change that, a group of roughly 25 researchers set up the Laser Lightning Rod project, which trialled a specially created €2 million (US$2 million) high-power laser in the Swiss Alps. The scientists placed the laser next to the Säntis telecommunications tower, which is hit frequently by lightning. “This is one of those projects that everyone was waiting for the results of,” says Valentina Shumakova, a laser physicist at the University of Vienna.
A sufficiently intense laser beam can create a conductive path for lightning to travel down, just as a metal wire can. Physicists think that it does this by shifting the properties of air so that the beam focuses into a thin, intense filament. This rapidly heats the air, reducing its density and creating a favourable path for lightning. “It’s like drilling a hole through the air with the laser,” says Aurélien Houard, a physicist at the Laboratory of Applied Optics in Paris, who led the project.
Rather than try to divert lightning from the tower, the Säntis experiments were designed to show that the laser could guide a strike’s path through the structure’s lightning rod. In future use, similar beams would guide strikes away from sensitive installations and onto a distant lightning rod, says Houard.
Guided lightning
Over 10 weeks of observation, the team spotted the laser channelling 4 lightning events during 6 hours of thunderstorms. A high-speed camera clearly showed one strike following the straight line of the laser beam, rather than taking a branching path.
“For 100% of the strikes where the laser was present, we measured an effect of the laser,” says Houard. But Tzortzakis notes that the laser was also active for many hours without channelling strikes. This suggests that although the laser diverted lightning, it did not force thunderclouds to discharge, which would be a better protection strategy, he says.
The latest effort succeeded where others had failed, says Tzortzakis, because previous attempt had used a laser that fired just a few pulses per second. This team used a specialist laser that fires 1,000 high-energy pulses per second, which would have boosted its chance of intercepting the lightning.
However, the fact that the project’s laser is one of a kind is also its biggest limitation, because it will take time to shrink the system and make it cheaper and more practical, says Houard.
