What are these mysterious beams of light coming from the sky over Hawaii
What are these mysterious beams of light coming from the sky over Hawaii
On January 28, 2023 it was cloudy on Mauna Kea, but The Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii captured video of a strange sky phenomenon with its livestreaming Subaru-Asahi Star Camera. Although it was only a second or less they managed to capture mysterious green laser lights, coming from the sky!
Image credit: SubaruTel_StarCamAdmin
The mysterious beams of light raised many questions from the viewers who suggested it was a UFO that fired the beams or it was related to the mysterious project Blue Beam.
On February 6, 2023 Dr. Martino, Anthony J., a NASA scientist working on ICESat-2 ATLAS, said that that the beams did not come from one of their instrument but by others. His colleagues, Dr. Alvaro Ivanoff et al., did a simulation of the trajectory of satellites that have a similar instrument and found a most likely candidate as the ACDL instrument by the Chinese Daqi-1/AEMS satellite.
While it is important to note that these types of sightings are not uncommon and are often caused by the reflection of sunlight off of satellites or other objects in space and despite the statement by Dr. Martino and Dr. Ivanoff that the Chinese Daqi-1/AEMS satellite is the most likely candidate based on simulations and available evidence, it's always possible that additional information could change the understanding of what 'really' caused the strange sighting.

Latest UFO Sighting over Pennsylvania
On the 8th of February 2023, residents in Port Allegany, Pennsylvania were left in awe as a strange metallic craft was seen hovering low in the sky. The unidentified flying object was first reported by a witness who stated that the craft was not emitting any lights. However, as the witness followed the object in their vehicle, the craft lit up and flew away at such a high speed that it nearly disappeared.
The witness managed to capture a video of the strange object and shared it on Facebook, where hundreds of others reported seeing the same object and shared their photos and videos. The video, which has since gone viral, shows a metallic craft hovering in the sky with several bright lights surrounding it. The object remains stationary for a few seconds before suddenly accelerating and flying away at an incredible speed.
This latest UFO sighting has sparked widespread excitement and speculation among UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists. Many are trying to explain the strange object as a new military aircraft or drone, while others believe it could be an extraterrestrial spacecraft. However, with no official explanation from the government or military, the true identity of the craft remains a mystery.
SCIENTISTS FIND "ONE IN TEN BILLION" STAR SYSTEM PRIMED TO EXPLODE IN TITANIC KILONOVA
"PRIOR TO OUR STUDY, THE ESTIMATE WAS THAT ONLY ONE OR TWO SUCH SYSTEMS SHOULD EXIST IN A SPIRAL GALAXY LIKE THE MILKY WAY."
GETTY / FUTURISM
Stellar Rarity
Astronomers have found the first known example of a binary star system doomed to meet its end in an explosive collision known as a kilonova, a phenomenon so rare that it's estimated there are only ten binary systems in our entire galaxy capable of producing one, according to their study published last week in the journal Nature.
"We know that the Milky Way contains at least 100 billion stars and likely hundreds of billions more. This remarkable binary system is essentially a one-in-ten-billion system," said astronomer and co-author of the study André-Nicolas Chené, in a statement. "Prior to our study, the estimate was that only one or two such systems should exist in a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way."
Danse Macabre
The binary system, CPD-29 2176, comprises a massive star that closely orbits a neutron star. Both are victims of each other's gravity. The neutron star formed as the result of an ultra-stripped supernova, a less explosive form of a typical supernova that occurs in stars that have had their atmospheres siphoned by the gravity of a nearby stellar companion.
But the massive companion star will eventually share the same fate, too. The neutron star it created is incredibly dense, wielding a gravitational pull nearly as terrifying as a black hole. Thus, over time, the companion star will also lose its atmosphere, succumbing to an ultra-stripped supernova and diminishing into a neutron star itself.
And eventually, those two neutron stars will collide, resulting in a mega-powerful kilonova that has seldom been observed.
"For quite some time, astronomers speculated about the exact conditions that could eventually lead to a kilonova," Chené said. "These new results demonstrate that, in at least some cases, two sibling neutron stars can merge when one of them was created without a classical supernova explosion."
Heavy News
Even short cosmic timelines are lengthy in human terms, of course. According to the astronomers, it will be at least another million years until the companion star collapses into a second neutron star, and from there, millions more until the two neutron stars collide.
So while we may not be able to witness a colossal kilonova for ourselves, the discovery still provides an invaluable insight into the formation of the universe's heaviest elements.
"Those heavy elements allow us to live the way that we do," explained astronomer and lead author of the study, Noel D. Richardson, in a statement. "Most gold was created by stars similar to the supernova relic or neutron star in the binary system that we studied. Astronomy deepens our understanding of the world and our place in it."

How many galaxies are there in the universe, and is it possible to compute them? As perBBC Sky and Night, the number of galaxies in the universe will be equal to the Universe's size multiplied by the average number density of galaxies. In practice, estimating these two figures properly is tough.
The universe's overall size is unknown. Recent studies suggest that the number of galaxies may be limitless, meaning that there are an endless number of galaxies.

Galaxies in the Observable Universe
The universe is so big that there is a limit beyond what humans can see. It is because light beyond has not had the time to reach Earth ever since the Big Bang.
According to NASA, astronomers use mathematical models to observe and construct feasible ideas about the evolution and origins of the universe. They use Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity and other theories of basic particles to explain the Big Bang Theory. Today, space telescopes, like the Hubble and JWST, help measure the universe's expansion.
BBC reported that the 'observable universe' is predicted to be a sphere with a diameter of around 92 billion lightyears and a volume of approximately 410 nonillions (410 thousand billion billion billion) cubic lightyears.
However, estimating the numerical density of galaxies has its own set of challenges. First, it is impossible to count all of the galaxies in the sky as it would be far too time-consuming.
Furthermore, even the greatest telescopes would overlook galaxies that are too faint, too tiny, or too near to other galaxies, as well as those that are covered by intervening material or do not produce measurable light by the telescope.
But this approach will give a lower limit on the number of galaxies. One estimate suggests that the visible universe contains between 100 and 200 billion galaxies.
Other astronomers have attempted to estimate the number of missed galaxies in prior studies, yielding a total of 2 trillion galaxies in the universe. However, based on current observations of the night sky's blackness, this may be an overestimation.
The universe is around 13.82 billion years old based on the measurements of its expansion made by watching galaxies moving away from Earth's view. However, Space.com reports that galaxies will recede more and further from Earth, making them harder to observe with telescopes, as the universe grows older and larger.
Furthermore, galaxies evolve throughout time as well. The Milky Way is colliding with the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy, and the two are estimated to combine in 4 billion years. Other galaxies nearest to the Milky Way are also expected to ultimately merge. Experts said that residents of that future galaxy would see a considerably darker cosmos.
They explained that there was no indication that there was a cosmos with 100 billion galaxies when civilization began. More so, they would not have noticed the expansion so they would not know that Big Bang occurred.
The prehistoric White Horse of Uffington is one of the oldest hill figures in Britain, and is believed to have inspired the creation of all the other white horse hill figures in the region. Mystery abounds the creation of the White Horse – who made it, when and why? Some historians believe the figure represents a horse goddess connected with the local Belgae tribe, others believe it is Celtic goddess Epona, protector of horses, while an alternative theory suggests it is not a horse at all but the mythical dragon slain by Saint George.
Oxfordshire, the region in which the figure is found, and its neighbouring county of Wiltshire, are home to many white horse hill figures. There are or were at least twenty-four of these hill figures in Britain, with no less than thirteen being in Wiltshire. However, the White Horse of Uffington is the only one with known prehistoric origin. Initially believed to date back to the Iron Age due to similar images found depicted on coins from that period, more recent dating by the Oxford Archaeological Unit placed the hill figure in the Bronze Age, some 3000 years ago.
The Uffington White Horse is high on an escarpment of the Berkshire Downs below Whitehorse Hill, a mile and a half south of the village of Uffington. Measuring some 374 feet in length, the stylised image was created by digging trenches into the earth some ten feet wide, exposing the white chalk bedrock below.
The shape of the horse has changed over the centuries. The present outline may be only a part of the original: aerial photography shows that a larger, more conventional shape of a horse lies beneath. The loss of shape has been caused by slippage of the top soil and by repeated recutting.
The horse is only part of the unique complex of ancient remains that are found at White Horse Hill and beyond, spreading out across the high chalk downland. To the east of the Manger lies Dragon Hill, a low flat-topped mound. It is said to be the site where St. George, England's patron saint, slew the dragon, its blood spilling on the hilltop and leaving forever a bare white patch where no grass can grow. Across the region, numerous burial mounds can be spotted. These date from the Neolithic period and have been reused up to the Saxon age. The largest contained 47 skeletons.

Whether the hill figure is indeed intended to represent a horse, or some other creature instead, has been debated, but it has certainly been called a horse since at least the 11 th century.
The original purpose of the figure is unknown. The horse, which can only be viewed from above or from an adjacent plateau in the distance, is unique in its features and this leads some to believe it represents the mythical dragon that St. George slain on the adjacent Dragon hill or even his horse. However others believe it represents a Celtic horse goddess Epona, known to represent fertility, healing and death. Epona had a counterpart in Britain, Rhiannon, so the Uffington white horse may have been cut by adherents of a cult of the horse-goddess to be worshipped in religious ceremonies.
Others believe it may have been the emblem of a local tribe, and have been cut as a totem or badge marking their land. Alternatively, the horse could have been cut by worshippers of the sun god Belinos or Belenus, who was associated with horses. He was sometimes depicted on horseback, and Bronze and Iron Age sun chariots were shown as being drawn by horses. Conceivably, if this suggestion is correct, the horse could have been cut on the shallower slope at the top of the hill in order to be seen from above by the god himself.
Once every seven years from at least 1677 until the late 18th century a midsummer ‘scouring festival’ was held, during which the local people cleaned the chalk outline of the horse and enjoyed a three-day celebratory feast within the hillfort. The festival, which may have had ancient origins, lapsed about a hundred years ago and the horse is now cleaned by members of English Heritage, who are responsible for the site.
While the stylised image of the White Horse of Uffington remains elegantly etched within the picturesque Berkshire Downs, its true meaning and purpose appears to have been lost to the pages of history.

HOLY COW!
NASASPACEFLIGHT
Major Burn
SpaceX just pulled off an incredible stunt.
The company fired 31 of its gigantic Super Heavy booster's 33 rocket engines at once, producing a gargantuan amount of thrust — likely the most powerful rocket ignition in human history.
It's a massive step forward, setting the stage for SpaceX's long-awaited, inauguralorbital test launchof its Starship, a spacecraft that could potentially revolutionize space travel before the end of the decade.
"Team turned off 1 engine just before start & 1 stopped itself, so 31 engines fired overall," CEO Elon Musk tweeted. "But still enough engines to reach orbit!"
Big Thruster
It was truly a sight to behold. Live streams of the event show a gigantic fireball emanating from under the rocket booster prototype, engulfing the entire region in smoke and forcing countless birds to clear the area at once.
According to early back-of-the-envelope math by NASASpaceFlight's Stephen Clark, the test firing produced over 15 million pounds of thrust.
That means Super Heavy just produced "nearly double" the amount of thrust compared to NASA's retired Saturn V rocket and Space Launch System, according to Clark.

Proponents of a “moonshot” idea to deal with global heating have been handed a new, very literal, interpretation by researchers who have proposed firing plumes of moon dust from a gun into space in order to deflect the sun’s rays away from Earth.
The seemingly outlandish concept, outlined in a new research paper, would involve creating a “solar shield” in space by mining the moon of millions of tons of its dust and then “ballistically eject[ing]” it to a point in space about 1m miles from Earth, where the floating grains would partially block incoming sunlight.
“A really exciting part of our study was the realization that the natural lunar dust grains are just the right size and composition for efficiently scattering sunlight away from Earth,” said Ben Bromley, a theoretical astrophysicist at the University of Utah, who led the research, published in Plos Climate.
“Since it takes much less energy to launch these grains from the moon’s surface, as compared with an Earth launch, the ‘moonshot’ idea really stood out for us.”
Bromley and two other researchers considered a variety of properties, including coal and sea salt, that could dim the sun by as much as 2% if fired into space. The team eventually settled on the dust found on the moon, although millions of tons would have to be mined, sifted and loaded into a ballistic device, such as an electromagnetic rail gun, and fired into space each year into order to maintain this solar shield.
Getting this mining and projective equipment to the moon would be a “significant project”, Bromley conceded, and might also require the positioning of a new space station in an area called the L1 Lagrange point, found between Earth and the sun, in order to “redirect packets of dust on to orbits that could provide shade for as long as possible”.
Such an approach would act as a “fine-tuned dimmer switch, leaving our planet untouched”, Bromley said, an advantage over other solar geoengineering proposals that have raised concerns about the environmental impact of spraying reflective particles within the Earth’s atmosphere.
The moon dust would have to be continually propelled into space in order to take the edge off global heating, however, or risk a so-called “termination shock” whereby temporary cooling is abruptly stopped and the world is left to rapidly heat up. Bromley insisted that the research’s sci-fi idea is no substitute for the primary task of cutting planet-heating emissions in the first place.
“Nothing should distract us from reducing greenhouse gas emissions here on Earth,” he said. “Our strategy may just be a moonshot, but we should explore all possibilities, in case we need more time to do the work here at home.”
Tinkering with the world’s climate, including attempts to reflect sunlight, is a controversial and still relatively fringe response to the climate crisis. It has gained some traction amid repeated warnings that countries are not slashing emissions quickly enough to prevent disaster, however, with the US government launching a research project around the concept last year.

It has gained some traction amid repeated warnings that countries are not slashing emissions quickly enough to prevent disaster, however, with the US government launching a research project around the concept last year.
Ted Parson, an expert in environmental law at UCLA, said the moon dust proposal was “fun, scientifically interesting speculation” that was unlikely to be put into practice, partially due to the larger cost and lack of control compared with Earth-based geoengineering options.
“There seems to be a bit of uptick of interest in space-based geoengineering schemes more broadly,” Parson said. “They were long dismissed as wildly impractical due to technical and cost considerations, but my impression is that the ongoing reduction of launch costs is piquing people’s interest and strange ideas are bubbling around.”
But opponents of solar geoengineering, whether on Earth or in space, argue that it is an unhelpful and potentially dangerous distraction from the urgent imperative to transition away from burning fossil fuels.
“The idea to mine the moon or near-Earth asteroids in order to artificially block parts of the sunlight is no solution to the ongoing and intensifying climate crisis,” said Frank Biermann, professor of global sustainability governance at Utrecht University.
“What is needed are massive cutbacks in greenhouse gas emissions, which require rapid technological advancement and socioeconomic transitions. Mining the moon is not the answer that we need.”
Oplossing voor de klimaatcrisis: “De maan ontginnen”, zeggen wetenschappers
Er zijn al heel wat oplossingen bedacht om de klimaatcrisis aan te pakken, maar nu is er een oplossing die echt heel ‘ver’ gaat. Hoe ver? Wel, tot aan de maan en terug. Wetenschappers zijn er namelijk van overtuigd dat als we maanstof met een kanon de ruimte inschieten, dat we zonnestralen kunnen afbuigen. Voor dat ‘zonneschild’ moeten we wel de maan gaan ontginnen en dat is voor sommigen een stap te ver.
Het vrij bizarre concept houdt in dat een ‘zonneschild’ in de ruimte wordt gecreëerd met miljoenen tonnen maanstof dat ontgonnen zou worden. Het maanstof wordt weggeschoten met raketten naar een punt in de ruimte op ongeveer 1 miljoen kilometer van de aarde. Daar zouden de zwevende korrels het inkomende zonlicht gedeeltelijk kunnen blokkeren.
“Een heel fijn onderdeel van onze studie was het besef dat de natuurlijke maankorrels precies de juiste grootte en samenstelling hebben om zonlicht efficiënt van de aarde weg te sturen”, zei astrofysicus Ben Bromley aan het wetenschappelijk magazine ‘Plos Climate’.
Maanstof was niet de eerste keuze. Bromley en twee andere onderzoekers overwogen eerst andere materialen zoals steenkool en zeezout. Die zaken zouden de zon met wel 2 procent kunnen dimmen als ze de ruimte in worden geschoten. Het team merkte uiteindelijk dat maanstof het beste werkte. Hiervoor zouden wel miljoenen tonnen gedolven en gezeefd moeten worden.
Het maanstof zou ook voortdurend de ruimte in moeten worden gestuwd om de opwarming van de aarde tegen te gaan. Anders zou er een zogenaamde ‘eindschok’ kunnen ontstaan waarbij de tijdelijke afkoeling abrupt stopt en de wereld snel opwarmt. Bromley benadrukte dat hun creatief idee er niet mag voor zorgen dat we stoppen met andere inspanningen om de opwarming van de aarde terug te dringen.
Sleutelen aan het wereldklimaat, inclusief pogingen om zonlicht te weerkaatsen, is een controversieel antwoord op de klimaatcrisis. Het heeft echter enige aanhang gekregen na herhaalde waarschuwingen dat landen hun emissies niet snel genoeg verminderen om een ramp te voorkomen. De Amerikaanse regering heeft vorig jaar dan ook een onderzoeksproject rond dit concept gelanceerd.
Tegenstanders
Ted Parson, een expert in milieuwetgeving, zei aan de Britse krant ‘The Guardian’ dat het voorstel “leuke wetenschappelijke speculaties” zijn, maar dat die waarschijnlijk niet in praktijk zullen worden gebracht. De voornaamste redenen zijn de hoge kosten en het gebrek aan controle.
Er zijn ook heel wat tegenstanders van dit idee. “Het idee om de maan te ontginnen, is geen oplossing voor de voortdurende klimaatcrisis”, zegt Frank Biermann, hoogleraar aan de Universiteit Utrecht. “Wat we nodig hebben, is een massale vermindering van de uitstoot van broeikasgassen.”

UFO Over Scottsdale, Arizona for 12 Minutes! Feb 5, 2023, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: February 5, 2023 Location of sighting: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
The awesome video is 12 full minutes long! Thats rare guys, and its from the Arizona state which means its close to Area 51 and Area S4 and the Extraterrestrial Highway. This is massive evidence that tic-tac UFOs do exist.
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
I had seen some thing in the sky a few days prior and thought I would go outside and just record and as soon as I started recording, and after the birds flew by, I noticed this object coming from the north traveling south. I tried to zoom in as it crossed overhead and follow the object until it disappeared. I was watching it with both my slow motion, camera mode, and with my eyes. I did not see the second craft until I was watching the video.
The first craft was brilliant and flickering and even orb like… it exploded, and what looked like an orb, flash of color a few times. Very unusual, and I saw it with my naked eye as well. I don’t know what is going on in our skies, but I thought it was mandatory that I give you this information.
The second craft I did not see, but as I watched the video, I watched it mutate from an orb type craft into some kind of metallic craft. It’s like it changed in the sky.
Former F/A-18 pilot on UFO encounters and mysteriously missing radar footage
Former F/A-18 pilot on UFO encounters and mysteriously missing radar footage
As a former F/A-18 Hornet pilot with extensive experience and multiple encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), Mark Hulsey's perspectives on this issue are certainly worth considering.
Frustrated, Mark questions why these phenomena are not openly investigated.
The issue of missing radar footage is particularly concerning, as it raises questions about the potential for evidence to be concealed or suppressed. In a field where safety and transparency are of the utmost importance, it is essential that all relevant data is collected and analyzed in order to better understand the UAP phenomenon.
Ultimately, Mark's belief that everyone has the right to know what is happening in the skies is a fundamental principle of transparency and open inquiry.
San Diego Skies Light Up with Mysterious Orangish Glows

UFO sighting over San Diego
UFO sightings have been a topic of fascination for decades, and one such incident occurred in San Diego, California on June 27th, 2022. The event witnessed by several people from La Jolla to North Island, caused a stir in the community and sparked interest from UFO enthusiasts.
According to a witness report, a series of glowing orangish lights were observed hovering in the sky near the beach. The witness was walking their dogs, as they often do, when they noticed the lights. As more and more people gathered, it was estimated that around 15 individuals were observing the strange lights in the sky.
However, the next day, the local news reported that the sightings were merely naval exercises with flares. Yet, the witness and several others who saw the lights were convinced that what they saw was not a typical naval exercise. The lights, which multiplied in numbers and disappeared and reappeared, were not consistent with the behavior of flares. Moreover, the lights rose in altitude and increased in brightness, further fueling the belief that what they saw was not a conventional occurrence.
The witness also reported having recorded several videos of the incident, but due to an error while uploading the videos, only a few were successfully uploaded. The individual had approximately 20 minutes of video that they were unable to share, as the error message stated that “an error occurred while loading a higher quality version of this video.”
Triangle Shaped UFO Sighted Over Utah & Black Flying Saucer Found On Google Earth.
Clip One: This dark triangle shaped UFO was sight over Salt Lake City in Utah but was filmed from Draper. The witness stated the following: "From the SLC avenues mid September 2022 at sundown, I noticed a fairly large triangular object hovering in the sky. It was first floating stationary but moving kind of wavy. It then proceeded to slowly move North. I captured a total of 4 videos of approximately 1 minute 30 seconds each. The object kept floating North and then seemed to dissapear from view. The object was definitely triangle and guessing the size could have been around 60-75 ft in length. The location when first spotted was just above the high rise buildings in downtown Salt Lake. It appeared to be about 1250-1500 ft in the sky."

Can We Blame Jupiter For Extinction Of Dinosaurs?
The Earth has seen its fair share of mass extinctions throughout its history. These catastrophic events have resulted in the loss of countless species of plants and animals, forever altering the course of life on our planet. The most famous mass extinction event is the one that wiped out the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. Scientists believe that a massive asteroid impact was the cause, leading to the extinction of around 75% of all species on Earth. But how did that asteroid find its way to Earth? Did Jupiter play a role in it? In this video, we will talk about whether we can blame Jupiter for the extinction of dinosaurs or not.
MASS EXTINCTION EVENTS ON EARTH:
A massive cosmic collision is one of the most serious existential dangers to life on Earth. An intense enough impact with Earth — typical of objects a few kilometres or bigger in size — might easily produce a mass extinction event, and may perhaps utterly sterilise a living globe, putting an end to a multi-billion-year cycle of life. For billions of years, these events have occurred across the universe, including in our solar system. It has traditionally been believed that the Solar System is favorable for life as it has Jupiter, which acts as a shield against objects that could impact Earth. Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, experiences collisions much more often than Earth, serving as its protector. However, this understanding is incorrect. Its existence in fact increases the likelihood of collisions on Earth, and researchers estimate that there's a high chance that the K-Pg extinction event would not have occurred without Jupiter's presence.

Stuck in a Space Station, Black Holes' Habitable Zones, Human-Rated Starship | Q&A 210
Is there a habitable zone around a black hole? Can you get stuck in the middle of a big space station? How will Starship get human-rated? Why is the Fermi Paradox even a paradox? All this in this week's Q&A!
Voyager 1 Is Sending Back Mysterious Signals. What Are They?
NASA Space Probe Discovered Something Strange in the Solar System
The approximate radius of the solar system is 30 trillion kilometers. During the whole time of exploration of this space, mankind has found 316 minor planets. And 8 main ones that everyone knows about. But “know” is too big a word. In most cases, we only know what these planets look like and at what distance they are from the Earth. Everything else is just our assumptions. To replace speculation with facts, humanity regularly sends space research probes to other planets.
THE ALIEN ABDUCTION OF THE CENTURY : LINDA NAPOLITANO STORY - ORIGINAL V MOVIES SCI-FI DOCUMENTARY
THE ALIEN ABDUCTION OF THE CENTURY : LINDA NAPOLITANO STORY - ORIGINAL V MOVIES SCI-FI DOCUMENTARY
Linda Napolitano was a simple New York housewife, at least until November 30, 1989, when in the middle of the night she was abducted by aliens and made to float above the Manhattan sky until she entered a UFO where she was subjected to mysterious experiments. Hypnosis, aliens, man in black and important political figures, these are the pieces that characterize the alien abduction of Linda Napolitano, what over time was defined by experts as "the alien abduction case of the century".
In December, computational biologists Casey Greene and Milton Pividori embarked on an unusual experiment: they asked an assistant who was not a scientist to help them improve three of their research papers. Their assiduous aide suggested revisions to sections of documents in seconds; each manuscript took about five minutes to review. In one biology manuscript, their helper even spotted a mistake in a reference to an equation. The trial didn’t always run smoothly, but the final manuscripts were easier to read — and the fees were modest, at less than US$0.50 per document.
This assistant, as Greene and Pividori reported in a preprint1 on 23 January, is not a person but an artificial-intelligence (AI) algorithm called GPT-3, first released in 2020. It is one of the much-hyped generative AI chatbot-style tools that can churn out convincingly fluent text, whether asked to produce prose, poetry, computer code or — as in the scientists’ case — to edit research papers (see ‘How an AI chatbot edits a manuscript’ at the end of this article).
The most famous of these tools, also known as large language models, or LLMs, is ChatGPT, a version of GPT-3 that shot to fame after its release in November last year because it was made free and easily accessible. Other generative AIs can produce images, or sounds.
“I’m really impressed,” says Pividori, who works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. “This will help us be more productive as researchers.” Other scientists say they now regularly use LLMs not only to edit manuscripts, but also to help them write or check code and to brainstorm ideas. “I use LLMs every day now,” says Hafsteinn Einarsson, a computer scientist at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik. He started with GPT-3, but has since switched to ChatGPT, which helps him to write presentation slides, student exams and coursework problems, and to convert student theses into papers. “Many people are using it as a digital secretary or assistant,” he says.
LLMs form part of search engines, code-writing assistants and even a chatbot that negotiates with other companies’ chatbots to get better prices on products. ChatGPT’s creator, OpenAI in San Francisco, California, has announced a subscription service for $20 per month, promising faster response times and priority access to new features (although its trial version remains free). And tech giant Microsoft, which had already invested in OpenAI, announced a further investment in January, reported to be around $10 billion. LLMs are destined to be incorporated into general word- and data-processing software. Generative AI’s future ubiquity in society seems assured, especially because today’s tools represent the technology in its infancy.
But LLMs have also triggered widespread concern — from their propensity to return falsehoods, to worries about people passing off AI-generated text as their own. When Nature asked researchers about the potential uses of chatbots such as ChatGPT, particularly in science, their excitement was tempered with apprehension. “If you believe that this technology has the potential to be transformative, then I think you have to be nervous about it,” says Greene, at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora. Much will depend on how future regulations and guidelines might constrain AI chatbots’ use, researchers say.
Fluent but not factual
Some researchers think LLMs are well-suited to speeding up tasks such as writing papers or grants, as long as there’s human oversight. “Scientists are not going to sit and write long introductions for grant applications any more,” says Almira Osmanovic Thunström, a neurobiologist at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, who has co-authored a manuscript2using GPT-3 as an experiment. “They’re just going to ask systems to do that.”
Tom Tumiel, a research engineer at InstaDeep, a London-based software consultancy firm, says he uses LLMs every day as assistants to help write code. “It’s almost like a better Stack Overflow,” he says, referring to the popular community website where coders answer each others’ queries.
But researchers emphasize that LLMs are fundamentally unreliable at answering questions, sometimes generating false responses. “We need to be wary when we use these systems to produce knowledge,” says Osmanovic Thunström.
This unreliability is baked into how LLMs are built. ChatGPT and its competitors work by learning the statistical patterns of language in enormous databases of online text — including any untruths, biases or outmoded knowledge. When LLMs are then given prompts (such as Greene and Pividori’s carefully structured requests to rewrite parts of manuscripts), they simply spit out, word by word, any way to continue the conversation that seems stylistically plausible.
The result is that LLMs easily produce errors and misleading information, particularly for technical topics that they might have had little data to train on. LLMs also can’t show the origins of their information; if asked to write an academic paper, they make up fictitious citations. “The tool cannot be trusted to get facts right or produce reliable references,” noted a January editorial on ChatGPT in the journal Nature MachineIntelligence3.
With these caveats, ChatGPT and other LLMs can be effective assistants for researchers who have enough expertise to directly spot problems or to easily verify answers, such as whether an explanation or suggestion of computer code is correct.
But the tools might mislead naive users. In December, for instance, Stack Overflow temporarily banned the use of ChatGPT, because site moderators found themselves flooded with a high rate of incorrect but seemingly persuasive LLM-generated answers sent in by enthusiastic users. This could be a nightmare for search engines.
Can shortcomings be solved?
Some search-engine tools, such as the researcher-focused Elicit, get around LLMs’ attribution issues by using their capabilities first to guide queries for relevant literature, and then to briefly summarize each of the websites or documents that the engines find — so producing an output of apparently referenced content (although an LLM might still mis-summarize each individual document).
Companies building LLMs are also well aware of the problems. In September last year, Google subsidiary DeepMind published a paper4 on a ‘dialogue agent’ called Sparrow, which the firm’s chief executive and co-founder Demis Hassabis later told TIME magazine would be released in private beta this year; the magazine reported that Google aimed to work on features including the ability to cite sources. Other competitors, such as Anthropic, say that they have solved some of ChatGPT’s issues (Anthropic, OpenAI and DeepMind declined interviews for this article).
For now, ChatGPT is not trained on sufficiently specialized content to be helpful in technical topics, some scientists say. Kareem Carr, a biostatistics PhD student at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was underwhelmed when he trialled it for work. “I think it would be hard for ChatGPT to attain the level of specificity I would need,” he says. (Even so, Carr says that when he asked ChatGPT for 20 ways to solve a research query, it spat back gibberish and one useful idea — a statistical term he hadn’t heard of that pointed him to a new area of academic literature.)
Some tech firms are training chatbots on specialized scientific literature — although they have run into their own issues. In November last year, Meta — the tech giant that owns Facebook — released an LLM called Galactica, which was trained on scientific abstracts, with the intention of making it particularly good at producing academic content and answering research questions. The demo was pulled from public access (although its code remains available) after users got it to produce inaccuracies and racism. “It’s no longer possible to have some fun by casually misusing it. Happy?,” Meta’s chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, tweeted in a response to critics. (Meta did not respond to a request, made through their press office, to speak to LeCun.)
Safety and responsibility
Galactica had hit a familiar safety concern that ethicists have been pointing out for years: without output controls LLMs can easily be used to generate hate speech and spam, as well as racist, sexist and other harmful associations that might be implicit in their training data.
Besides directly producing toxic content, there are concerns that AI chatbots will embed historical biases or ideas about the world from their training data, such as the superiority of particular cultures, says Shobita Parthasarathy, director of a science, technology and public-policy programme at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Because the firms that are creating big LLMs are mostly in, and from, these cultures, they might make little attempt to overcome such biases, which are systemic and hard to rectify, she adds.
OpenAI tried to skirt many of these issues when deciding to openly release ChatGPT. It restricted its knowledge base to 2021, prevented it from browsing the Internet and installed filters to try to get the tool to refuse to produce content for sensitive or toxic prompts. Achieving that, however, required human moderators to label screeds of toxic text. Journalists have reported that these workers are poorly paid and some have suffered trauma. Similar concerns over worker exploitation have also been raised about social-media firms that have employed people to train automated bots for flagging toxic content.
OpenAI’s guardrails have not been wholly successful. In December last year, computational neuroscientist Steven Piantadosi at the University of California, Berkeley, tweeted that he’d asked ChatGPT to develop a Python program for whether a person should be tortured on the basis of their country of origin. The chatbot replied with code inviting the user to enter a country; and to print “This person should be tortured” if that country was North Korea, Syria, Iran or Sudan. (OpenAI subsequently closed off that kind of question.)
Last year, a group of academics released an alternative LLM, called BLOOM. The researchers tried to reduce harmful outputs by training it on a smaller selection of higher-quality, multilingual text sources. The team involved also made its training data fully open (unlike OpenAI). Researchers have urged big tech firms to responsibly follow this example — but it’s unclear whether they’ll comply.
Some researchers say that academics should refuse to support large commercial LLMs altogether. Besides issues such as bias, safety concerns and exploited workers, these computationally intensive algorithms also require a huge amount of energy to train, raising concerns about their ecological footprint. A further worry is that by offloading thinking to automated chatbots, researchers might lose the ability to articulate their own thoughts. “Why would we, as academics, be eager to use and advertise this kind of product?” wrote Iris van Rooij, a computational cognitive scientist at Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, in a blogpost urging academics to resist their pull.
A further confusion is the legal status of some LLMs, which were trained on content scraped from the Internet with sometimes less-than-clear permissions. Copyright and licensing laws currently cover direct copies of pixels, text and software, but not imitations in their style. When those imitations — generated through AI — are trained by ingesting the originals, this introduces a wrinkle. The creators of some AI art programs, including Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, are currently being sued by artists and photography agencies; OpenAI and Microsoft (along with its subsidiary tech site GitHub) are also being sued for software piracy over the creation of their AI coding assistant Copilot. The outcry might force a change in laws, says Lilian Edwards, a specialist in Internet law at Newcastle University, UK.
Enforcing honest use
Setting boundaries for these tools, then, could be crucial, some researchers say. Edwards suggests that existing laws on discrimination and bias (as well as planned regulation of dangerous uses of AI) will help to keep the use of LLMs honest, transparent and fair. “There’s loads of law out there,” she says, “and it’s just a matter of applying it or tweaking it very slightly.”
At the same time, there is a push for LLM use to be transparently disclosed. Scholarly publishers (including the publisher of Nature) have said that scientists should disclose the use of LLMs in research papers (see also Nature 613, 612; 2023); and teachers have said they expect similar behaviour from their students. The journal Science has gone further, saying that no text generated by ChatGPT or any other AI tool can be used in a paper5.
One key technical question is whether AI-generated content can be spotted easily. Many researchers are working on this, with the central idea to use LLMs themselves to spot the output of AI-created text.
Last December, for instance, Edward Tian, a computer-science undergraduate at Princeton University in New Jersey, published GPTZero. This AI-detection tool analyses text in two ways. One is ‘perplexity’, a measure of how familiar the text seems to an LLM. Tian’s tool uses an earlier model, called GPT-2; if it finds most of the words and sentences predictable, then text is likely to have been AI-generated. The tool also examines variation in text, a measure known as ‘burstiness’: AI-generated text tends to be more consistent in tone, cadence and perplexity than does that written by humans.
Many other products similarly aim to detect AI-written content. OpenAI itself had already released a detector for GPT-2, and it released another detection tool in January. For scientists’ purposes, a tool that is being developed by the firm Turnitin, a developer of anti-plagiarism software, might be particularly important, because Turnitin’s products are already used by schools, universities and scholarly publishers worldwide. The company says it’s been working on AI-detection software since GPT-3 was released in 2020, and expects to launch it in the first half of this year.
However, none of these tools claims to be infallible, particularly if AI-generated text is subsequently edited. Also, the detectors could falsely suggest that some human-written text is AI-produced, says Scott Aaronson, a computer scientist at the University of Texas at Austin and guest researcher with OpenAI. The firm said that in tests, its latest tool incorrectly labelled human-written text as AI-written 9% of the time, and only correctly identified 26% of AI-written texts. Further evidence might be needed before, for instance, accusing a student of hiding their use of an AI solely on the basis of a detector test, Aaronson says.
A separate idea is that AI content would come with its own watermark. Last November, Aaronson announced that he and OpenAI were working on a method of watermarking ChatGPT output. It has not yet been released, but a 24 January preprint6 from a team led by computer scientist Tom Goldstein at the University of Maryland in College Park, suggested one way of making a watermark. The idea is to use random-number generators at particular moments when the LLM is generating its output, to create lists of plausible alternative words that the LLM is instructed to choose from. This leaves a trace of chosen words in the final text that can be identified statistically but are not obvious to a reader. Editing could defeat this trace, but Goldstein suggests that edits would have to change more than half the words.
An advantage of watermarking is that it rarely produces false positives, Aaronson points out. If the watermark is there, the text was probably produced with AI. Still, it won’t be infallible, he says. “There are certainly ways to defeat just about any watermarking scheme if you are determined enough.” Detection tools and watermarking only make it harder to deceitfully use AI — not impossible.
Meanwhile, LLM creators are busy working on more sophisticated chatbots built on larger data sets (OpenAI is expected to release GPT-4 this year) — including tools aimed specifically at academic or medical work. In late December, Google and DeepMind published a preprint about a clinically-focused LLM it called Med-PaLM7. The tool could answer some open-ended medical queries almost as well as the average human physician could, although it still had shortcomings and unreliabilities.
Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in San Diego, California, says he hopes that, in the future, AIs that include LLMs might even aid diagnoses of cancer, and the understanding of the disease, by cross-checking text from academic literature against images of body scans. But this would all need judicious oversight from specialists, he emphasizes.
The computer science behind generative AI is moving so fast that innovations emerge every month. How researchers choose to use them will dictate their, and our, future. “To think that in early 2023, we’ve seen the end of this, is crazy,” says Topol. “It’s really just beginning.”

Eyewitness states:
I had seen some thing in the sky a few days prior and thought I would go outside and just record and as soon as I started recording, and after the birds flew by, I noticed this object coming from the north traveling south. I tried to zoom in as it crossed overhead and follow the object until it disappeared. I was watching it with both my slow motion, camera mode, and with my eyes. I did not see the second craft until I was watching the video. The first craft was brilliant and flickering and even orb like… it exploded, and what looked like an orb, flash of color a few times. Very unusual, and I saw it with my naked eye as well. I don’t know what is going on in our skies, but I thought it was mandatory that I give you this information. The second craft I did not see, but as I watched the video, I watched it mutate from an orb type craft into some kind of metallic craft. It’s like it changed in the sky.

Witte Huis: "Voorbije jaren Chinese ballonnen waargenomen boven 5 verschillende continenten"
De Verenigde Staten beschuldigen China ervan dat het de voorbije jaren over 5 verschillende continenten spionageballonnen heeft laten vliegen. Dat heeft het Witte Huis bekendgemaakt. De Verenigde Staten hebben hun bondgenoten ingelicht.
Freek Willems
De Chinese "spionageballonnen" die vorige week boven de Verenigde Staten en Latijns-Amerika vlogen, zijn allesbehalve de eerste ballonnen die China heeft ingezet. De voorbije jaren zijn volgens de VS in totaal boven 5 verschillende continenten dergelijke ballonnen waargenomen. Om welke landen het precies gaat, is nog niet duidelijk.
Het Witte Huis noemt de ballonnen een "schending van de soevereiniteit". De ballon die over de VS vloog, werd uiteindelijk na een aantal dagen boven de Atlantische Oceaan uit de lucht geschoten.
Brokstukken van de ballon en vooral de apparatuur die eraan hing, werden verzameld om te analyseren. De ballon was zo'n 60 meter lang en had volgens Amerikaanse functionarissen een laadgedeelte dat vergelijkbaar was met dat van een regionaal vliegtuig.
De ontdekking van de ballon veroorzaakte een nieuwe diplomatieke crisis tussen de VS en China. De Amerikaanse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Antony Blinken stelde een gepland bezoek aan China op het allerlaatste moment uit. Volgens de VS was de ballon bedoeld om de militaire capaciteit van de VS in kaart te brengen.
Salt Lake City resident just recently reported on MUFON website this strange, large blacktriangle UFO hovering in the sky on September 16, 2022. This latest UFO sighting, caught on camera by a local witness, is stirring up excitement and intrigue among UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike.
According to the witness report, the object was first seen floating stationary in the sky above downtown Salt Lake City in Utah but soon began to move North. The witness was able to capture a total of 4 videos of the strange object, which appeared to be approximately 60-75 feet in length (about 20 meters).
Despite some speculation that the object might be a USAF TR3B or triangle craft, experts believe it is highly unlikely that the military would fly such a craft in the open during the day. Additionally, the object’s slow and wavy movement, as well as its semi-transparent reflective hump on the lower center, are not characteristic of any known military aircraft.
The TR-3B is a rumored military aircraft with a triangular shape, said to use advanced technology such as antigravity and electromagnetic propulsion systems. However, its existence has not been officially confirmed by the military.
This latest UFO sighting in Salt Lake City is being considered one of the most credible and convincing triangle UFO sightings in recent history. The fact that the object was seen in the daylight and captured on video is adding to its authenticity.
Triangle UFO Sighting in Lakeland, Florida: What Really Happened on January 23, 2023?
Triangle UFO Sighting in Lakeland, Florida: What Really Happened on January 23, 2023?
Latest triangle UFO sighting from Florida
UFO sightings have always been a topic of intrigue and speculation. The latest UFO sightings have once again sparked the interest of many, with the latest event taking place in Lakeland, Florida. On January 23, 2023, a local resident reported seeing strange lights appearing to rotate and move in the night sky.
The witness was speaking to a friend on the phone when they noticed the lights moving over their truck. They immediately hung up and started recording the events. The lights moved relatively slow and towards the north while gaining altitude. At first, the witness thought that the lights might be from a balloon or lights hanging from a balloon, but then the objects turned in an odd manner, which led them to believe it might be something more. The witness got out of their truck and continued to film, but eventually lost sight of the objects due to buildings and trees in the way.
Witness report of the UFO sighting
The video of the sighting has since gone viral, with many people speculating about the identity of the strange lights. Some people believe that it might be an extraterrestrial spacecraft, while others believe it might be some sort of military experiment or a hoax. Regardless of the speculation, one thing is for sure – the latest UFO sightings in Lakeland, Florida, have caught the attention of the world.
Ex-Intelligence Official Shares Insights on Government’s Secret UFO Investigations
Ex-Intelligence Official Shares Insights on Government’s Secret UFO Investigations
Jay Stratton, a former high-ranking intelligence official, is breaking his silence on government UFO investigations. With his extensive experience working with various intelligence agencies, Stratton has had access to some of the Pentagon’s most classified UFO files. He’s the only person in the federal government to have worked directly on all three of the most recent UFO programs, including one based in Las Vegas.
In this exclusive interview, Stratton shares the latest UFO sightings and details on his role in uncovering the truth behind them. Stratton was the man behind the investigation into the Tic Tac UFO, a mysterious object that left Navy aviators and sensors baffled off the coast of San Diego in 2004. The Tic Tac UFO was the first incident tackled by the Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Application Program (OSAP), a secret program created by the Defense Intelligence Agency and funded by a black budget.
As a result of Stratton’s work with the OSAP, he’s become one of the leading experts on the latest UFO sightings. Stratton and his colleague, Dr. James Lekatsky, were the driving force behind the creation of a central location to analyze unknown craft sightings. They even investigated the famous “UFO hotspot” Skinwalker Ranch in Utah.
In 2021, Stratton left the UAP Task Force, but his work formed the basis of a comprehensive report to Congress. Out of the 144 incidents investigated by the task force, 143 were considered unidentified. Today, Stratton works for Radiance Technologies, a defense contractor, and continues to uncover the truth behind the latest UFO sightings.
So what’s the latest on the UFO front? Stratton scoffs at the debunkers who’ve tried to explain away UFO sightings as flares, drones, or birds. With 144 incidents still considered unidentified, Stratton and his team have a lot of work to do. But they’re up for the challenge and are dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the latest UFO sightings.
The Falcon Lake Incident: Canada's Most Mysterious Unsolved UFO Case...
The Falcon Lake Incident: Canada's Most Mysterious Unsolved UFO Case...
In 1967 Stefan Michalak claims to of witnessed two UFOs in the woods of Manitoba, Canada at falcon lake. His story has become one of the most documented and heavily studied reports in history regarding UFOs. Interestingly, Stefan had more to back up his story than just recounting what he saw, he sustained an injury that still to this day cannot be explained away.
What follows is what many consider to be the best evidence of UFO’s of all time, this is the story of the falcon lake UFO.
In the fat report of the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects by the University of Colorado under contract to the United States Air Force (1969), Michalak's UFO encounter was described as "unknown", meaning there was no explanation. Their concluding remarks (on page 323) were impressive: "If Mr. A's reported experience were physically real, it would show the existence of alien vehicles in our environment."
