Amper enkele dagen na de Chinese "spionageballon": Verenigde Staten schieten boven Alaska opnieuw "hoogvliegend voorwerp" neer
Amper enkele dagen na de Chinese "spionageballon": Verenigde Staten schieten boven Alaska opnieuw "hoogvliegend voorwerp" neer
De Verenigde Staten hebben boven de westelijke staat Alaska een "hoogvliegend voorwerp" neergeschoten. Dat laat het Witte Huis weten. Volgens woordvoerder John Kirby had het voorwerp de grootte van "een kleine auto", en vloog het over dunbevolkt gebied.
Rik Arnoudt, Belga
President Joe Biden besliste het voorwerp, waarvan de oorsprong onbekend is, neer te laten schieten.
Nog maar enkele dagen geleden schoot Washington een Chinese ballon neer die, volgens de VS, gebruikt werd om te spioneren.
Volgens John Kirby is de oppervlakte waar de brokstukken van het object zijn gevallen veel kleiner dan die van de Chinese ballon die de Amerikanen vorige week hebben neergehaald. Een gevechtspiloot heeft vastgesteld dat het vliegend object niet bemand was, vóór hij het heeft neergeschoten.
Voorlopig is het nog onduidelijk over welk soort vliegend object het gaat en of het toestel bedoeld was om te spioneren. Anders dan de vorige week neergeschoten ballon lijkt dit voorwerp geen aandrijving of besturing te hebben. Volgens het Amerikaanse ministerie van Defensie dreef het af in noordoostelijke richting.

Woordvoerder John Kirby: "Het voorwerp vormde een gevaar voor de veiligheid van de burgerluchtvaart":
Metal robot can melt its way out of tight spaces to escape
Metal robot can melt its way out of tight spaces to escape
A millimetre-sized robot made from a mix of liquid metal and microscopic magnetic pieces can stretch, move or melt. It could be used to fix electronics or remove objects from the body
A miniature, shape-shifting robot can liquefy itself and reform, allowing it to complete tasks in hard-to-access places and even escape cages. It could eventually be used as a hands-free soldering machine or a tool for extracting swallowed toxic items.
Robots that are soft and malleable enough to work in narrow, delicate spaces like those in the human body already exist, but they can’t make themselves sturdier and stronger when under pressure or when they must carry something heavier than themselves. Carmel Majidi at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania and his colleagues created a robot that can not only shape-shift but also become stronger or weaker by alternating between being a liquid and a solid.
They made the millimetre-sized robot from a mix of the liquid metal gallium and microscopic pieces of a magnetic material made of neodymium, iron and boron. When solid, the material was strong enough to support an object 30 times its own mass. To make it soften, stretch, move or melt into a crawling puddle as needed for different tasks, the researchers put it near magnets. The magnets’ customised magnetic fields exerted forces on the tiny magnetic pieces in the robot, moving them and deforming the surrounding metal in different directions.
For instance, the team stretched a robot by applying a magnetic field that pulled these granules in multiple directions. The researchers also used a stronger field to yank the particles upwards, making the robot jump. When Majidi and his colleagues used an alternating magnetic field – one whose shape changes predictably over time – electrons in the robot’s liquid metal formed electric currents. The coursing of these currents through the robot’s body heated it up and eventually made it melt.
“No other material I know of is this good at changing its stiffness this much,” says Majidi.
Wang and Pan et al.
Exploiting this flexibility, the team made two robots carry and solder a small light bulb onto a circuit board. When they reached their target, the robots simply melted over the light bulb’s edges to fuse it to the board. Electricity could then run through their liquid metal bodies and light the light bulb.
In an experiment inside an artificial stomach, the researchers applied another set of magnetic fields to make the robot approach an object, melt over it and drag it out. Finally, they shaped the robot like a Lego minifigure, then helped it escape from a cage by liquefying it and making it flow out between the bars. Once the robot puddle dribbled into a mould, it set back into its original, solid shape.
Wang and Pan et al.
These melty robots could be used for emergency fixes in situations where human or traditional robotic hands become impractical, says Li Zhang at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. For example, a liquefied robot might replace a lost screw on a spacecraft by flowing into its place and then solidifying, he says. However, to use them inside living stomachs, researchers must first develop methods for precisely tracking the position of the robot at every step of the procedure to ensure the safety of the patient, says Zhang.

James Webb pierces the cold heart of the Chameleon
James Webb pierces the cold heart of the Chameleon
By observing distant stars through a star-forming cloud of gas and dust, Webb is helping astronomers map out the complex chemicals that could form life.
NASA, ESA, CSA, and M. Zamani (ESA/Webb); Science: F. Sun (Steward Observatory), Z. Smith (Open University), and the Ice Age ERS Team.
Stars form when massive clouds of cold gas and dust fragment, condense, and collapse. As the density in a small part of the cloud grows high enough, the pressure skyrockets until it ignites the fusion process that forms the fiery heart of a new star.
As the nascent star grows, it becomes encircled by a protoplanetary disk made of the same material that formed the star. This disk is what eventually gives birth to the planets, asteroids, and comets around the new sun.
This gorgeous new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) features the molecular cloud Chameleon I, one of the nearest star-forming regions to Earth, located just 626 light-years away. At upper left is a young protostar called Ced 110 IRS 4, whose light illuminates the dense, bluish cloud at the infrared wavelengths Webb observes. Just visible through the cloud at center are several small, pointlike background stars, mostly obscured by the cold material. But these stars are the cornerstone of a new study, which used JWST to decode the chemical composition of ices within Chameleon I.
Here's how the study worked: As starlight from those background stars filters through the cloud, some of that light gets absorbed by ices. By splitting apart the light that makes it through the cloud — using a technique called spectroscopy — astronomers can look at which specific wavelengths are absorbed. This lets them determine which atoms are responsible for absorbing each specific wavelength.
In the case of Chameleon I, they identified ices inside the cloud such as water, carbonyl sulfide, ammonia, methane, and methanol. Researchers also found hints of even more complex molecules, such as ethanol.
Webb's new view of the Chameleon is the most comprehensive look at ices within such a dense molecular cloud to date. The observations are providing astronomers with important information about the particular molecules that are available to form new planets — and any life that might eventually evolve on them.
The results suggest that planets can essentially “inherit” already chemically complex molecules straight from molecular clouds. They also hint at the possibility that such complex molecules, which are essential to life on Earth, are widespread; they are not unique to the protostellar cloud that formed our Sun and planets.
However, the Chameleon I observations still revealed far fewer available building blocks in the ices than astronomers expected the cloud to contain. This means that in addition to being locked up in ices, elements such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sulfur also likely exist as sooty or even rocky material within the cloud.
Webb alone was able to do this work, as Chameleon I is so dense and cold that most of the background starlight gets absorbed; only faint infrared wavelengths can pierce through it.
The new observations are part of the Ice Age project, which is using JWST to look for the building blocks of life to help determine how common (or rare) life might be in the universe. So stay tuned, because more surprises are sure to come.

The dwarf planet Quaoar has a ring that is too big for its metaphorical fingers. While all other rings in the solar system lie within or near a mathematically determined distance of their parent bodies, Quaoar’s ring is much farther out.
“For Quaoar, for the ring to be outside this limit is very, very strange,” says astronomer Bruno Morgado of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. The finding may force a rethink of the rules governing planetary rings, Morgado and colleagues say in a study published February 8 in Nature.
Quaoar is an icy body about half the size of Pluto that’s located in the Kuiper Belt at the solar system’s edge (SN: 8/23/22). At such a great distance from Earth, it’s hard to get a clear picture of the world.
So Morgado and colleagues watched Quaoar block the light from a distant star, a phenomenon called a stellar occultation. The timing of the star winking in and out of view can reveal details about Quaoar, like its size and whether it has an atmosphere.
The researchers took data from occultations from 2018 to 2020, observed from all over the world, including Namibia, Australia and Grenada, as well as space. There was no sign that Quaoar had an atmosphere. But surprisingly, there was a ring. The finding makes Quaoar just the third dwarf planet or asteroid in the solar system known to have a ring, after the asteroid Chariklo and the dwarf planet Haumea (SN: 3/26/14; SN: 10/11/17).
Even more surprisingly, “the ring is not where we expect,” Morgado says.
Far-out ring
In this illustration, dwarf planet Haumea and asteroid Chariklo both have rings (white) that are close to their Roche limits (yellow), to the best of astronomers’ understanding. Quaoar, in contrast, has a ring that is clearly well beyond its Roche limit, an imaginary line beyond which rings aren’t thought to be stable.
Rings around three small objects in the solar system

SOURCE: M.M. HEDMAN/NATURE 2023
Known rings around other objects lie within or near what’s called the Roche limit, an invisible line where the gravitational force of the main body peters out. Inside the limit, that force can rip a moon to shreds, turning it into a ring. Outside, the gravity between smaller particles is stronger than that from the main body, and rings will coalesce into one or several moons.
“We always think of [the Roche limit] as straightforward,” Morgado says. “One side is a moon forming, the other side is a ring stable. And now this limit is not a limit.”
For Quaoar’s far-out ring, there are a few possible explanations, Morgado says. Maybe the observers caught the ring at just the right moment, right before it turns into a moon. But that lucky timing seems unlikely, he notes.
Maybe Quaoar’s known moon, Weywot, or some other unseen moon contributes gravity that holds the ring stable somehow. Or maybe the ring’s particles are colliding in such a way that they avoid sticking together and clumping into moons.
The particles would have to be particularly bouncy for that to work, “like a ring of those bouncy balls from toy stores,” says planetary scientist David Jewitt of UCLA, who was not involved in the new work.
The observation is solid, says Jewitt, who helped discover the first objects in the Kuiper Belt in the 1990s. But there’s no way to know yet which of the explanations is correct, if any, in part because there are no theoretical predictions for such far-out rings to compare with Quaoar’s situation.
That’s par for the course when it comes to the Kuiper Belt. “Everything in the Kuiper Belt, basically, has been discovered, not predicted,” Jewitt says. “It’s the opposite of the classical model of science where people predict things and then confirm or reject them. People discover stuff by surprise, and everyone scrambles to explain it.”
More observations of Quaoar, or more discoveries of seemingly misplaced rings elsewhere in the solar system, could help reveal what’s going on.
“I have no doubt that in the near future a lot of people will start working with Quaoar to try to get this answer,” Morgado says.

Dr Michio Kaku Asteroid Warning: Now Nibiru is a Big Problem For All of Us — ( Preparations Imminent – TSUNAMI EXPECTED – Mega Earthquake Tsunami Threat: Urgent Plans Implemented for U.S. West Coast Disaster )
Although the planet has not even been confirmed by scientists, some believe that there is an elusive planet in our solar system which has a huge orbit and such a strong magnetic pull that it can effect life on Earth.
Researchers dealing with the issue of Planet X or as it is called the planet Nibiru, said that this mysterious planet is inexorably approaching the Earth and from November 2022to January 2024 on our planet due to the impact of Nibiru, there will be a catastrophic and irreversible changes.
An asteroid is a small, rocky or metallic object orbiting the Sun. They are now usually defined as being larger than 1 meter in diameter with objects smaller than that being called meteoroids. The largest asteroid is Ceres at 965 km (600 mi) diameter. Most asteroids, including Ceres, are located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but some asteroids come near to or cross Earth’s orbit. There are several related terms that come up when talking about things hitting Earth, so here are some related definitions:
What is a comet?
A comet is a small, icy/dusty object orbiting the Sun. Comets formed in the outer solar system where ice is stable. Most of them spend most of their time far beyond the orbit of Neptune, and all spend most of their time beyond Jupiter. But some have orbits that bring them occasionally through the inner solar system including sometimes past Earth’s orbit. When they are in the inner solar system, their ice sublimates (goes from ice to gas), kicking off dust and forming the coma and tails they are famous for.
What is a meteoroid?
A meteoroid is a rocky or metallic object in space that is smaller than an asteroid, the boundary usually being defined as 1 meter diameter. Very tiny meteoroids, smaller than 1 gram or so are often called micrometeoroids or space dust.
What is a meteor?
A meteor is the streak of light that occurs when an object (e.g., asteroid or meteoroid) hits the Earth’s atmosphere at high speed causing the object to heat up and glow.
What is a meteorite?
If part of a meteoroid, asteroid, or comet makes it to the ground, it is called a meteorite.
How do asteroids form? Where do asteroids come from?
Asteroids are typically material left over from the period of planetary formation 4.5 billion years ago, the stuff left over that didn’t form into planets in the inner solar system. Often they are fragments of collisions between asteroids in the past.
Many experts often talks about natural events that could make humans extinct. Asteroid impacts. Supernovae. Gamma ray bursts. Climate change. Or human caused, nuclear war. He has an agenda here, because he wants us to go into space. They thinks the future of humanity is in space, and he thinks this is how we can escape from disasters that could make Earth uninhabitable. But you don’t have to motivate humans in space in this way. You can motivate it just as well as a way to move heavy industry into space, to protect Earth from asteroids, for knowledge, for resources from the Moon and asteroids, for the search for biology based on different principles from DNA, for adventure and tourism, in many other ways.
By calculations of experts already on the Ground is a significant influence of Nibiru on our planet by 1 degree per day, and 14th december 2022 this figure will reach 25 degrees.
The approach of planet X will cause a pole shift of the earth that will lead to catastrophic melting of glaciers and the incredible magnitude of the rise in global sea level. Huge waves with a height of over 100 meters, fall on the continents and destroy everything alive.
The earth will be shaken by a mega-earthquake the magnitude of which will exceed 11 points on the Richter scale, and on the surface of the planet will rage giant storms and hurricane-force winds of great power. Volcanoes of the planet will begin eruption – all at once, including the famous super volcano Yellowstone. The warm Gulf stream will stop and the Earth will begin a terrible ice age.
Skywatch Media News says that Planet X is bound for Earth after completing half of its 3,600-year elliptical orbit.
It says that the magnetic force of Planet X is so strong that it can effect anything within 48.6 astronomical units (AU) of it – one AU is the distance between Earth and the Sun.
With the planet having completed the first half of its elliptical orbit, it is heading back towards Earth and its strong magnetic pull is causing problems already.
Thousands of conspiracy theorists have been going wild with rumours about the world ending.
An outrageous theory about a rogue Planet X, known as Nibiru, claims that the colossal planet will pass earth to start the apocalypse.
The main purveyor of the doomsday prophecy is Christian numerologist David Meade who published his theories in his book, Planet X – .
The author has spectacularly claimed that Nibiru’s approach will match an astrological constellation from the biblical Book of Revelation.
But on the eve of the apocalypse, Mr Meade has come out to claim that actually, the world is not about to end.
Nibiru is a proposed large planet that conspiracy theorists have predicted will crash into and destroy Earth. Many prognostications had the cataclysm occurring in 2012, to coincide with the supposed “Mayan apocalypse.”
“The world is not ending, but the world as we know it is ending,” he told The Washington Post. “A major part of the world will not be the same on next year.”
We see that Nibiru’s black magnetic shell represents a protective region with such dense magnetism that it permits no light, visible or invisible, to pass through it, except for the intense radiation from the core. The core, at the centre of which resides Nibiru itself, appears to be a self-contained area that, relative to the absolute coldness of the shell, must be very hot or radioactive (meaning high luminous or light activity). Indeed, it is so radioactive that it is emitting very powerful radiation beams or gamma ray bursts from both poles, which are acting as relief valves to eject any excess radiation being generated within the core. Typically, only some of the universe’s most powerful entities or events detected by modern science, such as supernovas, neutron stars, pulsars, quasars, black stars (so-called ‘black holes’) and even entire galaxies, are known to emit gamma ray bursts. Nibiru’s GRBs are still minuscule in comparison with those of these humongous stellar objects, but the fact that it emits them at all is extraordinary!
As for the outer magnetic field, it is now close enough for the left edge of it (from Earth’s POV) to completely overtake Saturn. It reached the planet on about 1 November 2022, causing super-massive storms to rage across its atmosphere and forcing the solar system’s second largest planet to tilt away from normal by almost 90° ! NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has spotted a massive, nearly invisible ring around Saturn. The ring’s orbit is tilted 27 degrees from the planet’s main ring plane. The bulk of it starts about 3.7 million miles (6 million km) away from the planet and extends outward another 7.4 million miles (12 million km). This is not actually a completely new ring like Nasa thinks. It was formed from dust and debris pulled by the approaching Nibiru’s magnetic force from the original rings of Saturn. Saturn’s own magnetism kept the dust particles in an orbit around it and thus forming a ‘new’ ring.
Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, shoots out a huge jet of water, ice, dust and gas from a huge crack on its surface. The giant crack first appeared around October 2008 , which is the same period that large sink holes also appeared on Enceladus’ surface . Elenin was closest to Saturn around this time as it approached it on its way to the inner solar system. The object is having the same effect on Earth as it nears us, causing huge sinkholes and cracks to appear on the land in many countries.
Titan and Dione during 5April 2010 Cassini flyby with the red glow from Nibiru lurking behind the shadow of Titan as the giant approached Saturn – the red glow seems to be causing a green light on the night side of Titan’s atmosphere. Note the black smudge behind Dione to conceal whatever is casting the red glow. The formidable magnetism of Nibiru has indeed tilted Saturn, the second largest planet in our solar system, by up to 90° away from its natural inclination.
Another thing we’ve observed is that the tilt of Saturn is noticeably more pronounced in some earlier images more than later ones. This may be because Nibiru’s magnetism pulses, both increasing and receding in steady cadence like waves hitting a beach, and like waves some are stronger (causing a more severe tilt) than others (causing a slighter tilt).
The Pioneer Anomaly
Pioneer 10’s trajectory from Saturn orbit to Uranus orbit and the point when it encountered a mysterious force – dubbed the Pioneer anomaly by baffled Nasa scientists – that gently pushed against it in the opposite direction back towards the Sun and effectively decelerating its forward momentum. Pioneer was travelling towards the right of Nibiru at this point when the massive object was 66.8 (58.8 + 8) AU from the Sun. This tells us two things:
That Nibiru’s outer magnetic force (drawn as a dark red circle in the image above) is so strong it can affect objects 46.8 AU from Nibiru (Pioneer’s approx distance from it at the time), way beyond the central and certainly much stronger magnetic field (the purple circle) that we’ve calculated spans about 16 AU with a reach or radius of only 8 A
That Nibiru’s magnetism rotates in a clockwise fashion, because that is the only way it could push Pioneer back when the deep space probe was flying to the right of it. If it rotated anticlockwise and the Pioneer 10 was travelling in the same direction it would push the probe slightly forward and to the right of its trajectory – so the effect would have been the opposite as the probe would seen to be slightly accelerating, not decelerating, in its drift.
It is interesting that the Pioneer case reveals that Nibiru has a much larger magnetic field or magnetic affect than the one that extends 8 AU from its centre. The hurricane/cyclone analogy will serve useful here to better understand what we’re seeing here. A hurricane or cyclone has four basic components: the eye, the inner eye wall, the outer eye wall and the peripheral rainbands.
We can now see why this Nibiru object has been disturbing the Earth and the rest of the solar system for a long time now. It is because its outer ‘rainbands’ have been hitting us again and again in gradual ever stronger series of waves as it floods the Sun’s magnetic field (the solar system) with its own. The two magnetic fields directly oppose each other and have reverse polarities, with Nibiru’s spinning in a clockwise fashion as opposed to the Sun’s counter-clockwise rotation. The computer-generated image below gives us a good schematic visual of how Nibiru’s clockwise-rotating magnetic field should look like if we could see it in detail. Like a cyclone, Nibiru’s strongest magnetic ‘winds’ are on its right-hand side (from our perspective). Unfortunately for us, Nibiru is approaching us from the left-hand side (of the Sun, from our perspective). This means we will be encountering the strongest magnetic whirls from Nibiru, because we will be in the right-hand side of its core as it approaches us.
Another effect Nibiru would have is that it will slow down Earth’s counter-clockwise orbit round the Sun. We will be hit by the strong right-hand side, which is also the ‘pushing’ side. Like it did to Pioneer 10, this side will try to push us in the opposite direction of our orbit. The Sun’s opposing magnetism will largely prevent that, being stronger than Nibiru’s, so the overall effect of the magnetic push is to slow us down more and more as the object gets closer and closer. NASA have announced that the Earth may be about to experience a pole shift, leaving it unable to defend itself against solar radiation for up to 200 years, which would have devastating consequences for humans.
Will the Sun turn Black in 2023? Are we seeing changes with the sun’s behavior? There very well may be a good reason for this. Nemesis the brown dwarf star, Originally postulated in 1984 to be orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 95,000 AU (1.5 light-years), somewhat beyond the Oort cloud, to explain a perceived cycle of mass extinctions in the geological record, which seem to occur more often at intervals of 26 million years.
Two teams of astronomers, Daniel P. Whitmire and Albert A. Jackson IV, and Marc Davis, Piet Hut, and Richard A. Muller, independently published similar hypotheses to explain Raup and Sepkoski’s extinction periodicity in the same issue of the journal Nature. This hypothesis proposes that the Sun may have an undetected companion star in a highly elliptical orbit that periodically disturbs comets in the Oort cloud, causing a large increase of the number of comets visiting the inner Solar System with a consequential increase of impact events on Earth. This became known as the “Nemesis” or “Death Star” hypothesis.
Muller, referring to the date of a recent extinction at 11 million years before the present day, posits that Nemesis has a semi-major axis of about 1.5 light-years (95,000 AU) and suggests it is located (supported by Yarris, 1987) near Hydra, based on a hypothetical orbit derived from original apogees of a number of atypical long-period comets that describe an orbital arc meeting the specifications of Muller’s hypothesis. Richard Muller’s most recent paper relevant to the Nemesis theory was published in 2002. In 2002, Muller speculated that Nemesis was perturbed 400 million years ago by a passing star from a circular orbit into an orbit with an eccentricity of 0.7.
Using newer and more powerful infrared telescope technology, able to detect brown dwarfs as cool as 150 kelvins out to a distance of 10 light-years from the Sun, results from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE survey) have not detected Nemesis yet, but they are still looking.
Is Planet X (Nibiru) the cause of the heatwaves being felt worldwide or is it being caused by the climate changes that scientist are claiming are occurring? Is the government putting their infamous Haarp machine to work to drive up prices on agricultural products? We may never know the truth but with more extreme and unusual weather ahead in 2023– 2024 one has to ask, “are we the people the cause of the many strange events being experienced around the globe or is the culprit something much bigger?”
Each year since 2001 has seen at least 0.4 degree—Celsius above the long-term average for the 1961—1990 base period, used by the UN agency as a reference for climate change monitoring.
Extreme weather and climate conditions, including Arctic “heatwaves”, have continued into 2020, after global temperatures set record last year and the world witnessed exceptionally low sea ice and unabated ocean heat, the UN weather agency said.
While global temperatures hit a remarkable 1.1 degree- Celsius above the pre-industrial period, global sea-level touch record highs and the planet’s sea-ice coverage dropped more than four million square kilometres below average in November — an unprecedented anomaly for that month, according to the World Meteorological Organisation’s (WMO) statement on the state of the Global Climate in 2023.
“This increase in global temperature is consistent with other changes occurring in the climate system,” WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said.
“With levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere consistently breaking new records, the influence of human activities on the climate system has become more and more evident,” Taalas said.
Each of the year since 2001 has seen at least 0.4 degree—Celsius above the long-term average for the 1961—1990 base period, used by the UN agency as a reference for climate change monitoring.
The 2023 heating was further boosted by the powerful El Nieather system, during which global sea-level also rose very strongly.
Similarly, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere reached the symbolic benchmark of 400 parts per millions in 2015 — the latest year for which WMO global figures are available — and will not fall below that level for many generations to come because of the long-lasting nature of CO2.
“The extreme weather patterns are continuing in 2021 adding that at least three times so far this winter, the Arctic saw what can be called the Polar equivalent of a heatwave, with powerful Atlantic storms driving an influx of warm, moist air,” WMO said.
“This meant that at the height of the Arctic winter and the sea ice refreezing period, there were days which were actually close to melting point,” it said.
In the US alone, 11,743 warm temperature records were broken or tied in February, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the UN agency.
“Even without a strong El Nin 2017, we are seeing other remarkable changes across the planet that are challenging the limits of our understanding of the climate system,” said World Climate Research Programme Director David Carlson.
“We are now in truly uncharted territory,” Mr. Carlson added.
The extreme climate conditions also added to human suffering as 2019 saw severe droughts, affecting millions in southern and eastern African and Central America.
In the midst of such challenges, Taalas underlined the importance of implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change, which also entered into force last year.
“The entry into force of the Paris Agreement on 4 November 2016 represents a historic landmark,” he said, adding that it is vital that its implementation becomes a reality and that the Agreement guides the global community in addressing climate change by curbing greenhouse gases, fostering climate resilience and mainstreaming climate adaptation into national development policies.
“The Planet X effect is setting the Earth up for a coming pole shift.”
Although no one knows what might happen when Planet X reaches its closes point to Earth in its orbit, it is feared that it could spark another ice age or catastrophic earthquakes.
We have been feeling the disruptive effects of the inbound rogue Planet X since 1996 in the form of increased seismic and volcanic activities, freak weather patterns, and natural disasters.
NASA, the Pentagon, and the CIA are aware of the approaching rogue planet. The Vatican has also been briefed, but the public is being kept in the dark about the impending apocalypse. But despite efforts to keep the information secret, there have been leaks. … many conspiracy theorists insist that that NASA’s “Planet X” is Nibiru.
Nibiru, by all definitions, concepts and research scholars in the field, is a red or brown dwarf star that carries along with it seven planets orbiting around each other; therefore it is a Mini Solar System. Nibiru is close to 5 times than Jupiter. So by turn, it is 6500 times larger than the earth!
With the gigantic size, it has very strong gravitational pull and it influences our oceans and all magnetic fields. So in 2011, when Nibiru approached the Sun, it began forcefully “pulling” at the Sun’s core. The core of the Sun is only 65 times that Nibiru. Thus, the solar activity in relation to explosions and solar storms has increased so much that the “Maximo Solar” started in 2011 and has not stopped to this day (2023). The emissions are in the ultraviolet solar radiation level (range from 0 to 16) are currently at 15, and the normal is between 9 and 10 units. This was caused by the approach of Nibiru towards the Sun.
So, one must ask, why are they suddenly telling us now? Scientists have known about this planet since 1983 and they’ve been using WISE and IRAS to monitor it. Does this mean it will be visible this year? I’m thinking so. They have no choice but to tell us as it will viewable to everyone w/o a telescope this year. And why are they not calling this planet by its real name? Nibiru? Planet X? Well, that would mean that all of us so called “conspiracy theorist’s” and our ancient ancestors, were right all along!
NASA WISE Telescope shows a Giant Planet next to the Solar System. February 10, 2023. NASA confirms that is tracking Hercolubus, at the moment scientists call it as Tyche. The NASA Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope is showing a giant planet next to the Solar System. Tyche (Hercolubus) is 4 times bigger than Jupiter and orbit at the outer edge of the Solar System.Scientists are just analyzing the data gathered by a NASA space telescope WISE, it shows a giant planet up to four times the mass of Jupiter lurking in the outer Oort Cloud, the most remote region of the solar system. The orbit of Tyche (Hercolubus) would be 15,000 times farther from the Sun than the Earth’s, and 375 times farther than Pluto’s.
NASA then prepared a very well-built simulation that projected the orbit of Nibiru. Transformed the simulation in video and “sneak” released on the internet. The simulation done by NASA computers presented visually not only the displacement of Nibiru in its orbit, but also the orbits of all the planets of the solar system.
Doomsday solar mega-flare could blast humanity back to the Stone Age, scientists warn. Lead scientist Chloe Pugh, from the University of Warwick, said: “If the Sun were to produce a superflare it would be disastrous for life on Earth; our GPS and radio communication systems could be severely disrupted and there could be large-scale power blackouts as a result of strong electrical currents being induced in power grids.”
According to researchers from UC Berkeley and China, a rapid succession of coronal mass ejections — the most intense eruptions on the sun — sent a pulse of magnetized plasma barreling into space and through Earth’s orbit. Had the eruption come nine days earlier, when the ignition spot on the solar surface was aimed at Earth, it would have hit the planet, potentially wreaking havoc with the electrical grid, disabling satellites and GPS, and disrupting our increasingly electronic lives. The solar bursts would have enveloped Earth in magnetic fireworks matching the largest magnetic storm ever reported on Earth, the so-called Carrington event of 1859.
The far greater electromagnetic fields of Planet X will cause great earthquakes (greater than the highest level of 9.5 known to date), volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and a shift of the physical poles. Now it is public knowledge that government agencies are on a need-to-know classification (intra-agency), and that they never publish information in advance that could cause an economic or other disruption.
However, if you do any research at all you will run into different levels of disinformation. Some of this is from uneducated members of the public and some of it is very likely on purpose. You have to use your head when you do research. “The superflare studied by the team occurred on the binary star KIC9655129.Using data from the American space agency Nasa’s Kepler space telescope, the scientists determined that it had wave properties identical to those seen in solar flares.
I think that 2023 will bring even more asteroids coming close to Earth and there is always a chance that one will head straight for us. NASA says that they can redirect these but the device they have has not been tested yet and I would imagine it would have to depend on the size of the asteroid or meteor. It would take a nuclear bomb to move an asteroid miles wide and NASA’s track record for spotting meteors has not been the greatest, especially when it come from the direction of the sun.
So what about our sun? Although it has been relatively quiet these days with only “M” class flares that have been Earth directed, it does not mean that one day we could experience a massive “X” class flare that would cripple the Earth, throwing us back to the Stone Age. I am not trying to panic anyone and the likelihood of such an event would be rare but it is always possible. Are they going to declare Doomsday preppers mentally incompetent? One guy in the States was certainly affected and it seems his rights were violated. Could this happen to you?
People, please wake up; it is close. Don’t listen to any of those who say it does not exist; just do your homework and keep an open mind. There are many trolls out there who are very good at convincing you that Planet X is a hoax. So you have to ask yourself, if it does not exist, why are they trying to convince you of that? Hmm. They don’t want you to prepare to save yourself and your family; they want you to die.

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 from Port Allegany, Pennsylvania 8-Feb-2023
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.

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
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.

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
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".
