Buitenaardse steen blijkt twee mineralen te herbergen die wetenschappers hierop aarde nog nooit in het wild hebben gezien & meer wetenschap
Buitenaardse steen blijkt twee mineralen te herbergen die wetenschappers hierop aarde nog nooit in het wild hebben gezien & meer wetenschap
Voor zover we weten komen de mineralen hier op aarde van nature niet voor.
Canadese wetenschappers ontdekten de twee mineralen toen ze zich bogen over een stukje van een 15 ton zware meteoriet die in Somalië is teruggevonden. Het gaat om de op acht na zwaarste meteoriet die ooit op aarde is ontdekt. Maar nieuw onderzoek wijst nu dus uit dat het gewicht en de omvang niet het enige is wat deze meteoriet zo speciaal maakt. De buitenaardse steen blijkt namelijk ook twee mineralen te herbergen die hier op aarde van nature niet voorkomen.
Elaliite en elkinstantonite De wetenschappers hebben de twee mineralen de namen elaliite en elkinstantonite gegeven. De mineralen zijn aangetroffen in een 70 gram wegend plakje van de meteoriet dat aan de wetenschap ter beschikking is gesteld. En mogelijk herbergt dit plakje nóg een mineraal dat hier op aarde van nature niet voorkomt, maar dat wordt momenteel nog nader onderzocht.
Soepeltjes De ontdekking van de eerste twee ‘nieuwe’ mineralen ging overigens verrassend soepeltjes. Het was in eerste instantie wetenschapper Chris Herd die in het stukje meteoriet iets geks aantrof. Hij schakelde vervolgens collega Andrew Locock in, die eerder al nieuwe mineralen beschreef. “En de eerste dag dat hij (Locock, red.) enkele analyses uitvoerde, zei hij al: ‘Je hebt hier minimaal twee nieuwe mineralen in zitten’,” vertelt Herd. “Dat was fenomenaal. Meestal is het namelijk heel veel werk om te kunnen concluderen dat er een nieuw mineraal in zit.”
Dat het dit keer zo gemakkelijk ging, is goed te verklaren. Want hoewel beide mineralen van nature niet op aarde voorkomen, hebben wetenschappers ze eerder wel in het laboratorium weten te creëren. En een vergelijking van de nieuwe, op natuurlijke wijze in deze meteoriet tot stand gekomen mineralen met synthetische mineralen leidde Locock tot de spoedige conclusie dat we hier te maken hebben met mineralen die – voor zover we weten – van nature niet op aarde voorkomen.
Andere chemie En dat is een opwindende ontdekking, vindt Herd. “Wanneer je een nieuw mineraal vindt, betekent het dat de geologische omstandigheden (waaronder de steen gevormd is, red.), de chemie van de steen anders is dan alles wat we hiervoor gezien hebben. En dat maakt dit zo opwindend. Want in dit geval hebben we zelfs twee mineralen die nieuw zijn voor de wetenschap.”
Nader onderzoek De mineralen worden nu nog nader onderzocht. Herd en collega’s hopen zo te achterhalen wat ze ons kunnen vertellen over de omstandigheden waaronder de meteoriet tot stand is gekomen. “Dat is mijn vakgebied,” aldus Herd. “De geologische processen en de geologische geschiedenis van de planetoïde waar deze steen ooit deel van uitmaakte, achterhalen.”
Zoals gezegd wordt vermoed dat het dunne plakje van de meteoriet dat Herd en collega’s bestudeerd hebben nog een derde mineraal herbergt dat we hier op aarde niet kennen. En wanneer wetenschappers de beschikking zouden krijgen over aanvullende stukjes van de meteoriet is het niet ondenkbaar dat daarin nog meer nieuwe mineralen worden aangetroffen. Of het zover gaat komen, is helaas zeer twijfelachtig; volgens de laatste berichten is de meteoriet naar China overgebracht, met als doel deze daar te verkopen. Of wetenschappers in de toekomst nog stukjes van de meteoriet tot hun beschikking krijgen, is dan ook onzeker.
De onfortuinlijke ster werd volledig aan flarden gescheurd, wat leidde tot een recordbrekend heldere uitbarsting waarbij er meer licht werd uitgestraald dan 1000 biljoen zonnen samen!
Eerder dit jaar ontdekten astronomen een ongewoon heldere lichtbron aan de nachtelijke hemel. Meerdere telescopen, waaronder de Very Large Telescope (VLT), werden door onderzoekers van over de hele wereld op de mysterieuze bron gericht. En wat blijkt? Het signaal is waarschijnlijk afkomstig van een straal materie (een jet) die bijna met de snelheid als het licht uit een superzwaar zwart gat schiet. En deze jet blijkt het product van een zwart gat dat plotseling een nabije ster begon te verslinden, waarbij een enorme hoeveelheid energie vrijkwam.
Tidal disruption event Sterren die onverhoopt te dicht bij een zwart gat in de buurt komen, worden door diens enorme getijdenkrachten aan flarden getrokken. Zo’n gebeurtenis wordt ook wel een ‘tidal disruption event’ (TDE) genoemd. In ongeveer één procent van de gevallen schieten bundels van plasma en straling uit de polen van het draaiende zwarte gat weg. In 1971 omschreef zwarte-gatenpionier John Wheeler het concept van TDE’s met jets als ‘een tube tandpasta die in het midden stevig wordt samengeknepen, waardoor aan beide uiteinden materie wegspuit’.
Deze animatie laat zien hoe materiaal van een ster naar een zwarte gat in het centrum van een ver sterrenstelsel toe valt, waarbij ‘jets’ van materie en straling ontstaan. Een deel van het materiaal van de ster wordt naar binnen getrokken en wervelt om het zwarte gat, waardoor de hierboven afgebeelde schijf ontstaat. In zeldzame gevallen (zoals deze), schieten materie en straling uit de polen van het zwarte gat weg. In het geval van AT2022cmc zijn deze ‘jets’ gedetecteerd met verschillende telescopen, waaronder de VLT, die vaststelde dat dit het verste voorbeeld van een gebeurtenis van dit type is.
Zeldzaam Dit soort verschijnselen zijn uiterst zeldzaam en geven zich niet gemakkelijk prijs, waardoor ze moeilijk te bestuderen zijn. “We hebben tot nu toe pas een handjevol TDE’s met jets gezien en het zijn nog steeds heel exotische en slecht begrepen gebeurtenissen,” zegt onderzoeker Nial Tanvir. Astronomen zijn dus voortdurend op jacht naar deze extreme verschijnselen, om te begrijpen hoe de jets precies ontstaan en waarom ze maar bij zo weinig TDE’s optreden.
Speurtocht In het kader van deze zoektocht speuren veel telescopen regelmatig de hemel af naar tekenen van kortstondige – vaak extreme – gebeurtenissen, die vervolgens veel gedetailleerder onder de loep kunnen worden genomen door telescopen zoals de VLT. In februari van dit jaar ontdekten astronomen vervolgens de nieuwe mysterieuze bron van zichtbaar licht. De gebeurtenis, die AT2022cmc is genoemd, leek op een gammaflits – de krachtigste lichtbron in het heelal. Het vooruitzicht om getuige te zijn van dit zeldzame verschijnsel bracht astronomen ertoe om telescopen van over de hele wereld te activeren om de mysterieuze lichtbron beter te kunnen bekijken.
Verste en helderste ooit In totaal hebben 21 telescopen allerlei soorten licht – van hoogenergetische gammastraling tot radiogolven – verzameld. Verschillende theorieën over wat de heldere flits kon hebben veroorzaakt, passeerden de revue. Maar uiteindelijk is het enige scenario dat met de gegevens overeenkomt een zeldzame TDE, waarbij een onfortuinlijke ster door een hongerig zwart gat wordt opgeslokt. Wanneer de stellaire materie vervolgens in het zwarte gat valt, komt een heldere uitbarsting van energie vrij die onderzoekers kunnen detecteren. En van de weinig TDE’s met jets die tot nu toe zijn ontdekt, is AT2022cmc zowel de verste als de helderste.
Hoe dan? De bron bevindt zich op een slordige 8,5 miljard lichtjaar afstand – meer dan halverwege het universum. Het licht van AT2022cmc begon zijn reis toen het heelal nog maar ongeveer een derde van zijn huidige leeftijd had. Hoe zo’n verre gebeurtenis zo helder aan onze hemel kan verschijnen? Het team denkt dat de uitgespuugde jet mogelijk rechtstreeks naar de aarde wijst, waardoor het signaal helderder lijkt dan wanneer de jet in een andere richting zou wijzen.
Zichtbaar licht Dat is nog niet eens het enige bijzondere. “De weinige TDE’s met jets die tot nu toe zijn waargenomen, zijn in eerste instantie opgemerkt met telescopen die hoogenergetische gamma- en röntgenstraling detecteren,” vertelt onderzoeker Daniel Perley. “Maar AT2022cmc is de eerste ontdekking van een TDE in zichtbaar licht.” Dit betekent dat er blijkbaar nog een andere manier bestaat om TDE’s met jets te detecteren en deze zeldzame gebeurtenissen in de extreme omgevingen rond zwarte gaten nader te onderzoeken.
De waarnemingen verschaffen meer inzicht in superzware zwarte gaten. Zo zou het meer kunnen verhelderen over hoe zwarte gaten zich voeden en groeien. Daarnaast gaat de jacht op TDE’s onverstoorbaar door. En mogelijk wachten er in de nabije toekomst nog veel meer op ontdekking. In de komende jaren zullen er namelijk meer krachtige telescopen in bedrijf worden genomen die in staat zijn TDE’s aan het licht te brengen. “We verwachten in de toekomst nog veel meer van TDE’s te vinden,” zegt onderzoeker MatteoLucchini. “Dan zullen we mogelijk ook achterhalen hoe zwarte gaten de waargenomen extreem krachtige jets precies lanceren.”
The European Rosalind Franklin rover will have a 2-metre drill to probe the Martian surface.

Europe’s Rosalind Franklin Mars rover, part of the beleaguered €1.3-billion (US$1.35-billion) ExoMars programme, is now set to launch in 2028, after securing a reported €360-million investment from European countries.
The money will allow the European Space Agency (ESA) to start designing a new landing platform to lower its first Martian rover onto the planet’s surface. The work became necessary after ESA severed ties with its former partner on the mission, the Russian space agency Roscosmos, in March, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Roscomos was in charge of designing and building landing gear for the rover, as well as launching the mission from its site in Baikonur, Kazakhstan.
“I am very relieved and incredibly happy that this great mission was not taken away from us, and that I can continue to hope to steer a rover on Mars one day,” says Daniela Tirsch, a planetary geologist at the German Aerospace Center in Berlin. Only the United States and China have so far placed working rovers on Mars.
The latest postponement is the third in the mission’s history. The ExoMars rover was originally intended to launch in 2018, but technical issues scuppered that plan. The COVID-19 pandemic then delayed a scheduled 2020 flight to 2022, before relations with Russia deteriorated. The cost of this second delay was on the order of €100 million, an ESA spokesperson told Nature.
Deep drilling
Despite the hold-ups and burgeoning costs, scientists remain excited about the ExoMars rover. It is the second part of the programme, following on from an orbiter that arrived at the red planet in 2016 and has been hunting for biological or geological origins of methane and other gases.
The Franklin rover carries a 2-metre drill that will burrow deep beneath the Martian surface to search for preserved signs of ancient life. “We will search for evidence of past life in the subsurface for the very first time,” says Jorge Vago, ESA project scientist for the mission, based at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
“ExoMars is a really incredible mission that will be unique in method and scientific approach, even if launched in 2028,” says Francesca Esposito, a planetary scientist at the INAF Astronomical Observatory of Capodimonte in Naples, Italy, and member of the mission team.
“It’s the first mission which can probe the very early history of terrestrial planets,” adds Tirsch, noting that the rover’s intended landing site, a vast plain called Oxia Planum, records “unique information on ancient, water-rich Mars environments, prebiotic chemistry, and, perhaps, life”.
ESA expects that NASA will help by contributing the mission’s launcher, its braking engine — for use during landing — and its radioisotope-based heating units, said ESA director-general Josef Aschbacher at a press briefing on 23 November. The units are necessary for Rosalind Franklin to survive the harsh Martian nights. But European technology will replace the rest of Russia’s lost contribution, he said.
Member states promised the cash for the mission at the ESA ministerial conference in Paris on 22 and23 November, at which they committed a budget of €16.9 billion in total for projects over 5 years. This includes €2.7 billion for human and robotic space exploration, an increase of 16% over the last allocation in 2019, and €3.2 billion for the agency’s scientific programme, a rise of 19%.
As part of this commitment, ministers agreed to fund the Solaris project, a programme to scope out the viability of developing, from 2025, a space-based solar-power system that would transmit energy to Earth. Nations worldwide are exploring technology to beam down energy from a kilometres-sized solar array in orbit, an idea that has become more viable given the plummeting costs of space launches.
There is much written about the infamous Blue Beam project from which it is said that it will be used to create a fake alien invasion.
Now, there are rumors that soon they are going to rollout this blue beam technology in order to convince the people that there is a threat from outer space.
Of course there are secret government projects that use certain technologies and they have powerful satellites and ground based systems that can project holograms. They have been developing and perfecting this holographic blue beam technology for decades and it looks real.
But creating a fake alien invasion would require an enormous amount of resources and would be very difficult to keep it secret. Additionally, such an event would likely have major ethical and political implications that the US government would not want to risk, therefore it is unlikely that it would be used to create a false flag event, but you never know.
Watching the video below of a large fire-breathing dragon flying around at the opening of a baseball game at Happy Dream Park in South Korea in 2019 which was streamed live through sports broadcasting channels then it's not hard to imagine what's possible by using 3D holographic blue beam technology.

UFO Sighting in Quebec: Telepathic Chat with Pleiadians
UFO Sighting in Quebec: Telepathic Chat with Pleiadians
UFO Sighting in Quebec: Telepathic Chat with Pleiadians?
On the 10th of August 2022, a driver in St-Élie-de-Caxton, Quebec, Canada, witnessed a mysterious UFO in the sky. The object was large and silvery white, with some small darker vessels below it. The driver was able to film the UFO, but the camera failed to capture the full extent of what the driver’s eyes could see.
The sighting was not just a random event, as another witness from a nearby town also saw the UFO and confirmed the presence of smaller vessels below the main one. However, what set this sighting apart from others was the fact that the driver claimed to have chatted telepathically with the UFO afterwards, and it identified itself as a Pleiadian spacecraft.
The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, is a star cluster located in the Taurus constellation, and it has been the subject of much fascination for many years. According to believers in the existence of extraterrestrial life, the Pleiadians are an advanced race of beings who have been visiting Earth for a long time. They are said to be peaceful and benevolent and have been working to help humanity in various ways.
The driver’s telepathic chat with the Pleiadian craft was an extraordinary event, but it raises a lot of questions. How did the driver know that the craft was a Pleiadian spaceship? Was the chat genuine, or was it just a figment of the driver’s imagination? These are difficult questions to answer, and it’s up to each person to decide what they believe.
Despite the skepticism that some may have towards the driver’s experience, it’s worth noting that there have been many reports of people claiming to have had telepathic communications with extraterrestrial beings. In some cases, these contacts have led to profound changes in people’s lives, inspiring them to become more spiritual or pursue a deeper understanding of the universe.
In any case, the sighting in Quebec is an exciting event that adds to the long list of mysterious and unexplained phenomena that continue to fascinate people around the world. Whether or not the driver’s telepathic chat with the Pleiadian craft was genuine, it’s clear that the event had a profound impact on the driver and may inspire others to keep an open mind about the possibility of life beyond Earth.

SpaceX NEW Dragon scheduled to ISS with astronauts made Russia embarrassed cause of Soyuz
SpaceX Dragon to ISS with astronauts while Soyuz is empty, Dragon to rescue Soyuz...
This is the International Space Station or ISS for short. It has been continuously occupied since November 2000. The station is divided into two sections: the Russian Orbital Segment is operated by Russia, while the United States Orbital Segment is run by the United States as well as by the other states. Countries have cooperated very well with each other over the past two decades. But the ISS status is recently experiencing a lot of turmoil due to the Soyuz leak two times in nearly two months. More stress will come this week as in just a short period of time, SpaceX Dragon will dock to ISS with astronauts while Soyuz is empty to rescue the MS-22 crew. Explain all of this in today's episode of Alpha Tech: First, in an important news, one leaky Russia space station ships burned up over the Pacific Ocean last week. The Progress MS-21 cargo ship undocked from space-facing Poisk module on the Russian segment of the space station at 9:26 p.m. EST Friday (0226 GMT Saturday), keeping a departure date that has been set for months. But the routine undocking took special significance after the Progress MS-21 cargo ship suddenly leaked coolant last Saturday, Feb. 11, soon after the docking of a fresh Progress resupply spacecraft to a different port on the space station. The timing of the leak soon after the docking of another Progress supply ship was presumably a coincidence, but it was the second time in less than two months that a Russian spacecraft suddenly lost its coolant fluid while docked at the international research complex. Russia’s Soyuz MS-22 crew ferry ship leaked coolant in December, an incident that Russian space agency officials previously blamed on a likely high-speed impact from a micrometeoroid, or a tiny fragment of rock from deep space. Russian engineers continue analyzing the cause of the coolant leak on the unpiloted Progress MS-21 cargo ship, and officials have not said whether both leaks were caused by the same failure, or if both spaceships suffered untimely hits by space junk or micrometeoroids. The coolant on both vehicles is used to dissipate heat generated by internal spacecraft electronics, and maintain comfortable operating temperatures for computers, cargo, and people inside. The 58-foot-long (17.6-meter) Canadian-built robotic arm inspected the damaged thermal control system radiator Progress MS-21 spacecraft’s rear instrumentation compartment earlier last week, according to Roscosmos, Russia’s space agency. Russian space officials decided to move ahead with the planned undocking and re-entry of the Progress MS-21 spacecraft, which is carrying trash and other unnecessary space station equipment for disposal.

Breakthrough In Dark Energy? Here's What The Researchers Have To Say
A recent research paper suggests that supermassive black holes can be the source of dark energy. It's a big potential breakthrough in Astronomy. So, here's what the co-author of the study, Dr Chris Pearson from STFC RAL Space, has to say about it.
Since space exploration began, only four spaceships have managed to reach Saturn. But, only one managed to enter the planet's bowels and reveal what is hidden under its cloud-filled atmosphere. Is it difficult to get to the planet with the giant asteroid rings? Ready? Let's get started! Being the sixth closest planet to the sun, Saturn is also known for its famous asteroid rings, but despite its fame, few have been the ships that have managed to reach this distant planet. The Gas Giants One of the main reasons Saturn is so difficult for our spacecraft or space exploration probes to visit is that it is part of the planets known as "gas giants," which are very far from Earth and the sun. Any spacecraft destined to visit the outermost planets of the solar system must meet specific requirements that are very difficult to achieve. One such requirement is that the spacecraft must have a nuclear battery that provides it with electrical power for all its data transmission functions. These ships must carry this type of battery instead of the classic solar panels because these planets are too far from the sun; because of this, very little light arrives, and the solar panels fail to provide enough energy for the operation of the ship. Due to the lack of light, it is necessary to incorporate batteries that work with nuclear thermal energy. Still, the problem with these batteries is that they weigh a lot, which considerably increases the cost of the spaceship, in addition to the fact that the heavier it is, the more fuel is also needed to take it very far, compared to the energy needed by exploration probes that use solar panels. Gas giants like Saturn are located beyond the asteroid belt; in these regions, the temperatures are very, very low, which is why the ships that are sent to explore these planets must have isolation systems to the low temperatures of the interplanetary medium. And, of course, one of the most important reasons why it is tough to reach Saturn is that it is 1,300 million kilometers from Earth. To cover this distance, a large amount of energy and fuel is necessary at the time of launch, which is why the probes that have visited Saturn have been supported with the gravitational assistance of Jupiter. Too far for telescopes
Scientists Just Opened A Black Hole And FINALLY Found What's Inside
For as long as most of us can remember, black holes have been seen as one of the scariest things mankind has ever come across. They have the ability to swallow up anything that comes too close, including galaxies, stars, and any other matter in their reach. But there is much more to black holes than meets the eye. The thing is, you can't exactly get up close to one to study it, or can you? Well, scientists have just admitted that they've created an actual black hole in their lab, and well, it's revealed details that no one saw coming. Join us as we explore the incredible and mysterious world of black holes, what scientists were able to find out with the one they made, and what it all might mean for the future of science and mankind as a whole.

NASA’s Webb Reveals Intricate Networks of Gas and Dust in Nearby Galaxies
NASA’s Webb Reveals Intricate Networks of Gas and Dust in Nearby Galaxies
New imagery from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is giving scientists their first look at high resolution into the fine structure of nearby galaxies and how that’s impacted by the formation of young stars. NGC 1433 is a barred spiral galaxy with a particularly bright core surrounded by double star forming rings. For the first time, in Webb’s infrared images, scientists can see cavernous bubbles of gas where forming stars have released energy into their surrounding environment. In the image of NGC 1433, blue, green, and red were assigned to Webb’s MIRI data at 7.7, 10 and 11.3, and 21 microns (F770W, F1000W and F1130W, and F2100W, respectively).

Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope are getting their first look at star formation, gas, and dust in nearby galaxies with unprecedented resolution at infrared wavelengths. The data has enabled an initial collection of 21 research papers which provide new insight into how some of the smallest-scale processes in our universe – the beginnings of star formation – impact the evolution of the largest objects in our cosmos: galaxies.
The largest survey of nearby galaxies in Webb’s first year of science operations is being carried out by the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby Galaxies (PHANGS) collaboration, involving more than 100 researchers from around the globe. The Webb observations are led by Janice Lee, Gemini Observatory chief scientist at the National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab and affiliate astronomer at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
The team is studying a diverse sample of 19 spiral galaxies, and in Webb’s first few months of science operations, observations of five of those targets – M74, NGC 7496, IC 5332, NGC 1365, and NGC 1433 – have taken place. The results are already astounding astronomers.
“The clarity with which we are seeing the fine structure certainly caught us by surprise,” said team member David Thilker of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
“We are directly seeing how the energy from the formation of young stars affects the gas around them, and it’s just remarkable,” said team member Erik Rosolowsky of the University of Alberta, Canada.
The spiral arms of NGC 7496 are filled with cavernous bubbles and shells overlapping one another in this image from MIRI. These filaments and hollow cavities are evidence of young stars releasing energy and, in some cases, blowing out the gas and dust of the interstellar medium surrounding them. In this image of NGC 7496, blue, green, and red were assigned to Webb’s MIRI data at 7.7, 10 and 11.3, and 21 microns (F770W, F1000W and F1130W, and F2100W, respectively).

The images from Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) reveal the presence of a network of highly structured features within these galaxies – glowing cavities of dust and huge cavernous bubbles of gas that line the spiral arms. In some regions of the nearby galaxies observed, this web of features appears built from both individual and overlapping shells and bubbles where young stars are releasing energy.
“Areas which are completely dark in Hubble imaging light up in exquisite detail in these new infrared images, allowing us to study how the dust in the interstellar medium has absorbed the light from forming stars and emitted it back out in the infrared, illuminating an intricate network of gas and dust,” said team member Karin Sandstrom of the University of California, San Diego.
The high-resolution imaging needed to study these structures has long evaded astronomers – until Webb came into the picture.
“The PHANGS team has spent years observing these galaxies at optical, radio, and ultraviolent wavelengths using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array, and the Very Large Telescope’s Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer,” added team member Adam Leroy of the Ohio State University. “But, the earliest stages of a star’s lifecycle have remained out of view because the process is enshrouded within gas and dust clouds.”
Webb’s powerful infrared capabilities can pierce through the dust to connect the missing puzzle pieces.
For example, specific wavelengths observable by MIRI (7.7 and 11.3 microns) and Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (3.3 microns) are sensitive to emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which play a critical role in the formation of stars and planets. These molecules were detected by Webb in the first observations by the PHANGS program.
Studying these interactions at the finest scale can help provide insights into the larger picture of how galaxies have evolved over time.
In the MIRI observations of NGC 1365, clumps of dust and gas in the interstellar medium have absorbed the light from forming stars and emitted it back out in the infrared, lighting up an intricate network of cavernous bubbles and filamentary shells influenced by young stars releasing energy into the galaxy’s spiral arms. In this image of NGC 1356, blue, green, and red were assigned to Webb’s MIRI data at 7.7, 10 and 11.3, and 21 microns (F770W, F1000W and F1130W, and F2100W, respectively).

“Because these observations are taken as part of what's called a treasury program, they are available to the public as they are observed and received on Earth,” said Eva Schinnerer of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, and leader of the PHANGS collaboration.
The PHANGS team will work to create and release data sets that align Webb’s data to each of the complementary data sets obtained previously from the other observatories, to help accelerate discovery by the broader astronomical community.
“Thanks to the telescope's resolution, for the first time we can conduct a complete census of star formation, and take inventories of the interstellar medium bubble structures in nearby galaxies beyond the Local Group,” Lee said. “That census will help us understand how star formation and its feedback imprint themselves on the interstellar medium, then give rise to the next generation of stars, or how it actually impedes the next generation of stars from being formed.”
The James Webb Space Telescope is the world's premier space science observatory. Webb will solve mysteries in our solar system, look beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probe the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international program led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency), and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).
How will AI change mathematics? Rise of chatbots highlights discussion
How will AI change mathematics? Rise of chatbots highlights discussion
Machine learning tools already help mathematicians to formulate new theories and solve tough problems. But they’re set to shake up the field even more.

As interest in chatbots spreads like wildfire, mathematicians are beginning to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) could help them to do their work. Whether it’s assisting with verifying human-written work or suggesting new ways to solve difficult problems, automation is beginning to change the field in ways that go beyond mere calculation, researchers say.
“We’re looking at a very specific question: will machines change math?” says Andrew Granville, a number theorist at the University of Montreal in Canada. A workshop at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), this week explored this question, aiming to build bridges between mathematicians and computer scientists. “Most mathematicians are completely unaware of these opportunities,” says one of the event’s organizers, Marijn Heule, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Akshay Venkatesh, a 2018 winner of the prestigious Fields Medal who is at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, kick-started a conversation on how computers will change maths at a symposium in his honour in October. Two other recipients of the medal, Timothy Gowers at the Collège de France in Paris and Terence Tao at UCLA, have also taken leading roles in the debate.
“The fact that we have people like Fields medallists and other very famous big-shot mathematicians interested in the area now is an indication that it’s ‘hot’ in a way that it didn’t used to be,” says Kevin Buzzard, a mathematician at Imperial College London.
AI approaches
Part of the discussion concerns what kind of automation tools will be most useful. AI comes in two major flavours. In ‘symbolic’ AI, programmers embed rules of logic or calculation into their code. “It’s what people would call ‘good old-fashioned AI’,” says Leonardo de Moura, a computer scientist at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Washington.
The other approach, which has become extremely successful in the past decade or so, is based on artificial neural networks. In this type of AI, the computer starts more or less from a clean slate and learns patterns by digesting large amounts of data. This is called machine-learning, and it is the basis of ‘large language models’ (including chatbots such as ChatGPT), as well as the systems that can beat human players at complex games or predict how proteins fold. Whereas symbolic AI is inherently rigorous, neural networks can only make statistical guesses, and their operations are often mysterious.

De Moura helped symbolic AI to score some early mathematical successes by creating a system called Lean. This interactive software tool forces researchers to write out each logical step of a problem, down to the most basic details, and ensures that the maths is correct. Two years ago, a team of mathematicians succeeded at translating an important but impenetrable proof — one so complicated that even its author was unsure of it — into Lean, thereby confirming that it was correct.
The researchers say the process helped them to understand the proof, and even to find ways to simplify it. “I think this is even more exciting than checking the correctness,” de Moura says. “Even in our wildest dreams, we didn’t imagine that.”
As well as making solitary work easier, this sort of ‘proof assistant’ could change how mathematicians work together by eliminating what de Moura calls a “trust bottleneck”. “When we are collaborating, I may not trust what you are doing. But a proof assistant shows your collaborators that they can trust your part of the work.”
Sophisticated autocomplete
At the other extreme are chatbot-esque, neural-network-based large language models. At Google in Mountain View, California, former physicist Ethan Dyer and his team have developed a chatbot called Minerva, which specializes in solving maths problems. At heart, Minerva is a very sophisticated version of the autocomplete function on messaging apps: by training on maths papers in the arXiv repository, it has learnt to write down step-by-step solutions to problems in the same way that some apps can predict words and phrases. Unlike Lean, which communicates using something similar to computer code, Minerva takes questions and writes answers in conversational English. “It is an achievement to solve some of these problems automatically,” says de Moura.
Minerva shows both the power and the possible limitations of this approach. For example, it can accurately factor integer numbers into primes — numbers that can’t be divided evenly into smaller ones. But it starts making mistakes once the numbers exceed a certain size, showing that it has not ‘understood’ the general procedure.
Still, Minerva’s neural network seems to be able to acquire some general techniques, as opposed to just statistical patterns, and the Google team is trying to understand how it does that. “Ultimately, we’d like a model that you can brainstorm with,” Dyer says. He says it could also be useful for non-mathematicians who need to extract information from the specialized literature. Further extensions will expand Minerva’s skills by studying textbooks and interfacing with dedicated maths software.
Dyer says the motivation behind the Minerva project was to see how far the machine-learning approach could be pushed; a powerful automated tool to help mathematicians might end up combining symbolic AI techniques with neural networks.
Maths v. machines
In the longer term, will programs remain part of the supporting cast, or will they be able to conduct mathematical research independently? AI might get better at producing correct mathematical statements and proofs, but some researchers worry that most of those would be uninteresting or impossible to understand. At the October symposium, Gowers said that there might be ways of teaching a computer some objective criteria for mathematical relevance, such as whether a small statement can embody many special cases or even form a bridge between different subfields of maths. “In order to get good at proving theorems, computers will have to judge what is interesting and worth proving,” he said. If they can do that, the future of humans in the field looks uncertain.
Computer scientist Erika Abraham at RWTH Aachen University in Germany is more sanguine about the future of mathematicians. “An AI system is only as smart as we program it to be,” she says. “The intelligence is not in the computer; the intelligence is in the programmer or trainer.”
Melanie Mitchell, a computer scientist and cognitive scientist at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico, says that mathematicians’ jobs will be safe until a major shortcoming of AI is fixed — its inability to extract abstract concepts from concrete information. "While AI systems might be able to prove theorems, it’s much harder to come up with interesting mathematical abstractions that give rise to the theorems in the first place.”

Pilots report seeing 'large white balloon' floating 50,000ft above Hawaii on plane radars - after Pentagon downed four objects flying over US in last month
Pilots report seeing 'large white balloon' floating 50,000ft above Hawaii on plane radars - after Pentagon downed four objects flying over US in last month
There have been multiple reports of a large white balloon sighted by pilots over Honolulu, Hawaii
Some postings on social media report how a 'large white balloon' was spotted by pilots at an altitude of around 50,000 feet.
However, Air Traffic Control and other US officials have not yet confirmed such reports with the identity of the object and the potential threat it poses to the public unknown.
Pilots have allegedly been told to look out for another large white balloon off the Hawaii coast on Sunday
Air traffic control sent out instructions asking for pilots to report any sightings of the balloon
The balloon was allegedly spotted about 600 miles northeast of Hawaii on Sunday afternoon
A 'Large White Balloon' was spotted 524 nautical miles NE of Honolulu on Sunday afternoon
It comes after recent claims by US officials that a Chinese 'spy' balloon targeting Hawaii had been blown off course (file photo from earlier this month)
An image posted to social media online shows what looks to be a pilot in the cockpit holding a note.
'Report of large white balloon in vicinity of 2639N15021W. Estimated to be between FL400 and FL500. Precise altitude unknown. Advise ATC if object is seen.'
Oakland Oceanic Air Traffic Control Center confirmed the existence of the flying object which reported how the balloon was about 600 miles northeast of Honolulu, over the Pacific Ocean.
The US military shot down several balloons earlier this month, including what was believed to be a Chinese spy balloon on February 4 off the coast of South Carolina.
Since February 4, four objects have been shot down including the Chinese spy balloon, and then three 'UFOs'
Last week another balloon was shot down over Alaska. A map of the hobby balloon's predicted path indicates it was heading towards the site where the UFO was downed
On February 4, a much bigger balloon - believed to be a Chinese spy balloon (pictured) - was shot down off the coast of South Carolina
U.S. Navy shows sailors assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 2 recovering a high-altitude surveillance balloon off the coast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The remnants of the downed balloon from earlier this month is packed away for investigation
OnThursday Joe Biden said that the U.S. is updating its guidelines for monitoring and reacting to unknown aerial objects after the discovery of a suspected Chinese spy balloon transited the country triggered high-stakes drama.
It saw the U.S. shootdown that balloon off the South Carolina coast and three smaller ones days later.
Biden said officials suspect the three subsequent balloons were ordinary ones which could mean they were used for research, weather, recreational or commercial purposes.
Officials have been unable to recover any of the remains of those three balloons, and late Friday the U.S. military announced it had ended the search for the objects that were shot down near Deadhorse, Alaska, and over Lake Huron on February 10 and 12.
President Joe Biden said there was no evidence of a surge in mysterious balloons, when he addressed the nation on Thursday. 'We're now just seeing more of them,' he said
'The U.S. military, federal agencies, and Canadian partners conducted systematic searches of each area using a variety of capabilities, including airborne imagery and sensors, surface sensors and inspections, and subsurface scans, and did not locate debris,' officials said on Friday.
In the South Carolina incident, the U.S. military has said it believes it has collected all of the Chinese balloon's priority sensors and electronics as well as large sections of its structure.
The balloon, which Beijing denies was a government spy vessel, spent a week flying over the United States and Canada before being shot down off the Atlantic Coast on Biden's orders.
Another large balloon has been spotted near Honolulu, Hawaii

Currently multiple commercial flights flying through the area have reported through ACARS seeing the large white balloon around 500 Miles to the East of Honolulu putting this potential balloon at 40-50,000 feet high.
Will the US Air Force also shoot this balloon out of the sky?
All these objects shot down by the US Air Force the last weeks have nothing to do with aliens. As Neil deGrasse Tyson said during an interview with CNN: "We have expensive planes and expensive missiles to pop balloons, and that's odd, but Ok that's fine to protect the airspace, Do I think these are visiting aliens? It would be odd. If they were aliens moving across the galaxy and dropping some balloons, oh what aliens would do?"
It is clear that there is more to it than we are being told, and it is not just about these balloons and unknown objects shot down by the US Airforce. They know what is coming and they are preparing for it.
The fact that a truckdriver (see video below) has driven for the last few days truckloads of products from the Kraft Foods plant which is an American food manufacturing to deliver it to the Springfield Underground base says enough that they are preparing for something that is going to take place on a large scale.
NASA caught bizarre elongated shaped asteroid-like object similar to Oumuamua
NASA caught bizarre elongated shaped asteroid-like object similar to Oumuamua
This collage shows six planetary radar observations of 2011 AG5 a day after the asteroid made its close approach to Earth on Feb. 3. With dimensions comparable to the Empire State Building, 2011 AG5 is one of the most elongated asteroids to be observed by planetary radar to date.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has captured one of the longest asteroids ever found. The oddly shaped object is as big as Empire State Building and to get a sense of its scale, scientists have estimated the object is about 1,600-by-500 feet, roughly comparable to that of the world-famous landmark that looms over 100 stories above New York.
The supposed asteroid, which recently sped past Earth, has caught the attention of NASA astronomers for its bizarre long shape. The space object is more than three times as long as it is wide and it is as dark as charcoal when viewed by the human eye, it appears to be scooped on one side and is spinning around every nine hours.
"Of the 1,040 near-Earth objects observed by planetary radar to date, this is one of the most elongated we’ve seen," said Lance Benner, principal scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in a statement.
The strange space object reminds us the infamous object called Oumuamua which was the first interstellar object, detected by the Pan-STARRS telescope at Haleakalā Observatory, Hawaii, on 19 October 2017, passing through the Solar System.
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb suggested that Oumuamua could be an alien spacecraft, and given the equality of the new discovered elongated shaped object to Oumuamua we should at least be open to the possibility that it could be evidence of another interstellar alien spacecraft.
The Truth Behind the Infamous ‘Tic Tac’ UFO Video: A Former Navy Officer’s Shocking Revelations
The Truth Behind the Infamous ‘Tic Tac’ UFO Video: A Former Navy Officer’s Shocking Revelations
The year was 2004, and the USS Nimitz was on a combat training mission off the coast of San Diego. It was a day like any other, until Kevin Day, the chief radar officer for the Navy, witnessed one of the biggest UFO sightings in the 21st century. Day had a front-row seat to the Nimitz video, which would become known as the “Tic Tac” video, and would change his life forever.
In a recent interview, Day revealed details of his encounter with the unidentified flying object. The cylindrical object in the shape of a Tic Tac hovered between 15,000 and 24,000 feet in midair, before suddenly darting off. The encounter was captured on video, which was leaked to the New York Times 13 years later. To this day, analysts have been unable to identify the craft, and there is simply no denying that this was a UFO.
Day, who was the radar operator on the Nimitz that day, has since left the Navy, but has been warned not to discuss what he saw. Despite the risk, Day agreed to meet with Ben, a UFO witness, to recount the details of his encounter.
Day recalled that on the morning of November 14, they had planned to do a major air defense exercise. They were off the coast, about 90 miles off San Diego. As the anti-air warfare coordinator, Day’s job was to identify objects that flew. He noticed some strange contacts off Catalina Island, which were at 28,000 feet in a loose formation, tracking south at 100 knots.
“I had never seen anything fly like that before. Immediately we’re thinking, ‘hey, are these things real?’ Is this some type of glitch? So, we ran a bunch of diagnostic tests and we brought all our systems back up, and the contacts were stronger now.”
The object seemed to ping-pong through the sky, changing speed and direction in ways that defy the laws of physics. Day became concerned about these things and strongly recommended that they take one of the aircraft that had just launched off the Nimitz and intercept one to see what it is.
Commander Fravor was one of the first pilots to launch off the Nimitz. He was one of the best pilots that the Navy had ever produced, and Day said that he immediately engaged when he heard the order to intercept. The object was described as a white 40-foot long Tic Tac-shaped craft, dropping from 28,000 feet down to the surface of the water in less than a second.
Fravor followed the object down to the surface, and the craft recognized him. The next thing he knew, the craft was gone. The encounter was one of the most humbling moments of Day’s life. They were a highly trained group of people on that ship, with years of experience, and these objects totally kicked their asses. If they had been hostile, there was nothing Day could have done.
In the interview, Day speculated that the objects had been there for a long time. He believed that the technology upgrade that their ship had received gave them the ability to finally see these objects. He thinks that they were curious about what they were doing out there and that they’ve been there for a long, long time.
The encounter was recorded on video, and Day confirmed that there was a system on the ship that recorded all their external communications onto an optical disk. When people with top-secret clearances came on board the ship, they collected a bunch of stuff, including the voice data.
As Kevin Day finishes recounting his experience with the Tic Tac UFO sighting off the coast of California, it’s hard not to be impressed with the sheer scale and intensity of what he witnessed. For years, the video footage of this sighting has been the subject of intense speculation, with many people wondering what exactly the object captured on film could be.
But hearing Kevin’s firsthand account of what he saw only serves to deepen the mystery surrounding this incident. How could an object moving at such high speeds, changing direction so suddenly and seemingly defying the laws of physics, be anything other than extraterrestrial in nature?
And yet, as Kevin himself admits, there’s still so much we don’t know. Were the beings piloting this craft simply curious about what was happening on our planet, or were they up to something more sinister? What kind of technology did they possess that allowed them to move at such incredible speeds without suffering the ill effects of G-forces that would surely have incapacitated any human pilot?
Perhaps most intriguingly of all, Kevin speculates that this is not the first time these objects have been seen. Instead, he believes they’ve been present on our planet for a very long time, and that it’s only through recent advances in technology that we’ve finally been able to detect them.
Whether or not you believe in UFOs, it’s hard not to be fascinated by the story that Kevin Day has to tell. In a world where so much of what we take for granted is based on what we can see and touch, the idea that there might be something out there that we can’t explain or comprehend is both humbling and awe-inspiring.
And who knows? Perhaps one day we’ll finally be able to unlock the secrets of these mysterious objects and understand what they represent. Until then, though, the story of the Tic Tac UFO will remain one of the most compelling and fascinating tales of our time.
Meteor Explodes Over English Channel, Moon Breakthrough, Dark Matter Galaxy
Blue Origin wants to build solar panels on the Moon, out of the Moon, SpaceX sold its floating landing pads, and another asteroid hits Earth exactly where and when astronomers predicted.
Blue Origin’s Blue Alchemist
Blue Origin announced a new technology they call Blue Alchemist. It will allow making solar panels out of Moon regolith. This can be a very big deal, as a system like that will not require any additional input from Earth. All it needs is energy. So, once you put a robot like this on the Moon and give it some time, you should have a bunch of solar panels as the result. Of course, it’s still in development and tests will be required to prove the concept viable. But it definitely sounds promising.
In the past, SpaceX had bought two oil platforms that they hoped to convert into Starship launch and landing pads. The platforms were called Phobos and Deimos, after the two satellites of Mars. However, this week we learned that the company sold the platforms. Gwenn Shotwell, president of SpaceX, told the press that SpaceX needs to learn to fly Starship first and understand the vehicle better, before expanding the infrastructure like sea launch and landing pads.
Another Meteoroid Discovered Right Before it Hits the Atmosphere
Sneaky asteroids have a hard time crashing into the Earth without notice these days. For the seventh time, astronomers detected a small space rock, or meteoroid, about half a day before it impacted the planet. The detection was made by Krisztián Sárneczky using a 60 cm Schmidt telescope from the Piszkéstet? Observatory in Hungary. The 1-meter object was designated as 2023 CX1 and was predicted with 100% certainty to hit Earth above the English Channel. Astronomers continued to track the object, and then it lit up the skies in Europe right on schedule.
Russia announced that another spacecraft at the International Space Station is leaking coolant. This time it’s the unpiloted Progress 82 cargo ship that’s docked at the station, is filled with trash and will be de-orbited on Feb. 17th. Roscosmos is investigating the leak, which follows the recent Soyuz coolant leak reportedly caused by a micrometeorite impact. Is there an underlying technical problem with Russian spacecraft? The replacement Progress 83 arrived on February 11th, bringing more supplies to the station.
Astronomers found an unusual galaxy that is made mostly of gas and dark matter. Meaning, there are almost no stars in it. It’s also close to us, just 1 million lightyears away. It’s not clear why there are almost no stars in the galaxy. However, such objects can potentially help to solve the missing dwarf galaxy problem in cosmology. As our models predict more dwarf galaxies to exist than being observed. If a lot of small galaxies are in fact just dark matter and gas, it might be the solution.
When galaxies merge, their supermassive black holes inevitably find one another. Some merge, while others recoil from an encounter and are kicked out of the galaxy at tremendous speeds. Astronomers think they’ve found one of these hypervelocity supermassive black holes hurtling away from a galaxy at 1,600 km/s. It’s leaving a trail of destruction in its wake, containing shocked gas and new star formation. It’s believed that the black hole began its journey about 39 million years ago.
Astronomers at NSF’s NOIRLab found new evidence for a mass immigration of stars into the Andromeda Galaxy. This image shows individual stars from blue (moving toward us) to red (moving away from us).

By studying the motion of stars in Andromeda galaxy, astronomers have discovered about 7,000 which are moving together and recently migrated into the area. These stars were once part of a dwarf galaxy orbiting Andromeda, similar to the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds around the Milky Way. About 2 billion years ago, the galaxy got too close and was unwound, with its stars joining the vastly larger Andromeda Galaxy.

Five Legendary Lost Cities that have Never Been Found
Five Legendary Lost Cities that have Never Been Found
The story of Atlantis is one of the most renowned and enduring tales of a lost city, said to have been swallowed up by the sea and lost forever. Yet, the story of Atlantis is not unique, as other cultures have similar legends of landmasses and cities that have disappeared under the waves, been lost beneath desert sands, or buried beneath centuries of vegetation. From the ancient homeland of the Aztecs, to jungle cities of gold and riches, we examine five legendary lost cities that have never been found.
Since Europeans first arrived in the New World, there have been stories of a legendary jungle city of gold, sometimes referred to as El Dorado. Spanish Conquistador, Francisco de Orellana was the first to venture along the Rio Negro in search of this fabled city. In 1925, at the age of 58, explorer Percy Fawcett headed into the jungles of Brazil to find a mysterious lost city he called “Z”. He and his team would vanish without a trace and the story would turn out be one of the biggest news stories of his day. Despite countless rescue missions, Fawcett was never found.
In 1906, the Royal Geographical Society, a British organization that sponsors scientific expeditions, invited Fawcett to survey part of the frontier between Brazil and Bolivia. He spent 18 months in the Mato Grosso area and it was during his various expeditions that Fawcett became obsessed with the idea of lost civilizations in this area. In 1920, Fawcett came across a document in the National Library of Rio De Janeiro called Manuscript 512. It was written by a Portuguese explorer in 1753, who claimed to have found a walled city deep in the Mato Grosso region of the Amazon rainforest, reminiscent of ancient Greece. The manuscript described a lost, silver laden city with multi-storied buildings, soaring stone arches, wide streets leading down towards a lake on which the explorer had seen two white Indians in a canoe. Fawcett called this the Lost City of Z.
In 1921, Fawcett set out on his first of many expeditions to find the Lost City of Z, but his team were frequently hindered by the hardships of the jungle, dangerous animals, and rampant diseases. Percy’s final search for Z culminated in his complete disappearance. In April 1925, he attempted one last time to find Z, this time better equipped and better financed by newspapers and societies including the Royal Geographic Society and the Rockefellers. In his final letter home, sent back via a team member, Fawcett sent a message to his wife Nina and proclaimed “We hope to get through this region in a few days.... You need have no fear of any failure.” It was to be the last anyone would ever hear from them again.
While Fawcett’s lost city of Z has never been found, numerous ancient cities and remains of religious sites have been uncovered in recent years in the jungles of Guatemala, Brazil, Bolivia and Honduras. With the advent of new scanning technology, it is possible that an ancient city that spurred the legends of Z, may one day be found.
The Aztec people of Mexico created one of the most powerful empires of the ancient Americas. While much is known about their empire located where today’s Mexico City can be found, less is known about the very start of the Aztec culture. Many consider the missing island of Aztlan to be the ancient homeland where the Aztec people began to form as a civilization prior to their migration to the Valley of Mexico. Some believe it is a mythical land, similar to Atlantis or Camelot, which will live on through legend but will never be found in physical existence. Others believe it to be a true, physical location that will someday be identified. Searches for the land of Aztlan have spanned from Western Mexico, all the way to the deserts of Utah, in hopes of finding the legendary island. However, these searches have been fruitless, as the location – and existence – of Aztlan remain a mystery.
The formation of civilization at Aztlan comes from legend. According to Nahuatl legend, there were seven tribes that once lived at Chicomoztoc – “the place of the seven caves.” These tribes represented the seven Nahua groups: Acolhua, Chalca, Mexica, Tepaneca, Tlahuica, Tlaxcalan, and Xochimilca (different sources provide variations on the names of the seven groups). The seven groups, being of similar linguistic groups, left their respective caves and settled as one group near Aztlan.
The word Aztlan means “the land to the north; the land from whence we, the Aztecs, came.” It is said that eventually, the people who inhabited Aztlan became known as the Aztecs, who then migrated from Aztlan to the Valley of Mexico. The Aztec migration from Aztlan to Tenochtitlán is a very important piece of Aztec history. It began on May 24, 1064, which was the first Aztec solar year.
To this day, the actual existence of an island known as Aztlan has not been confirmed. Many have searched for the land, in hopes of having a better understanding of where the Aztecs came from, and perhaps a better understanding of ancient Mexican history. However, like other lost cities, it is not clear whether Aztlan will ever be found.
In Arthurian legend, Lyonesse is the home country of Tristan, from the legendary story of Tristan and Iseult. The mythical land of Lyonesse is now referred to as the “Lost Land of Lyonesse,” as it is ultimately said to have sunk into the sea. However, the legendary tale of Tristan and Iseult shows that Lyonesse is known for more than sinking into the ocean, and that it had a legendary presence while it remained above ground. While Lyonesse is mostly referred to in stories of legend and myth, there is some belief that it represents a very real city that sunk into the sea many years ago. With such a legendary location, it can be difficult to ascertain where the legend ends and reality begins.
There are some variations in the legends that surround the sinking of the land. Prior to its sinking, Lyonesse would have been quite large, containing one hundred and forty villages and churches. Lyonesse is said to have disappeared on November 11, 1099 (although some tales use the year 1089, and some date back to the 6th century). Very suddenly the land was flooded by the sea. Entire villages were swallowed, and the people and animals of the area drowned. Once it was covered in water, the land never reemerged. While the Arthurian tales are legendary, there is some belief that Lyonesse was once a very real place attached to the Scilly Isles in Cornwall, England. Evidence shows that sea levels were considerably lower in the past, so it is very possible that an area that once contained a human settlement above-ground is now beneath the sea level. Indeed, fisherman near the Scilly Isles tell tales of retrieving pieces of buildings and other structures from their fishing nets. These stories have never been substantiated, and are viewed by some as tall tales.
From the legendary tales of Tristan and Iseult, to Arthur’s final battle with Mordred, to the stories of a city being swallowed by the sea, the tales of Lyonesse invoke a vast array of thoughts and emotions by those who wish to know more about this legendary city, and who like to believe that it’s legendary tales are founded upon a very real lost city.
For hundreds of years, treasure hunters and historians alike have searched for El Dorado, the lost city of gold. The idea of a city filled with gold and other riches has a natural appeal, drawing the attention of individuals from all over the world in hopes of discovering the ultimate treasure, and an ancient wonder. In spite of numerous expeditions around all of Latin America, the city of gold remains a legend, with no physical evidence to substantiate its existence.
The origins of El Dorado come from legendary tales of the Muisca tribe. Following two migrations – one in 1270 BC and one between 800 and 500 BC, the Muisca tribe occupied the Cundinamarca and Boyacá areas of Colombia. According to legend, as written in Juan Rodriguez Freyle’s “El Carnero,” the Muisca practiced a ritual for every newly appointed king that involved gold dust and other precious treasures.
When a new leader was appointed, many rituals would take place before he took his role as king. During one of these rituals, the new king would be brought to Lake Guatavita, where he would be stripped naked, and covered in gold dust. He would be placed upon a highly decorated raft, along with his attendants, and piles of gold and precious stones. The raft would be sent out to the center of the lake, where the king would wash the gold dust from his body, as his attendants would throw the pieces of gold and precious stones into the lake. This ritual was intended as a sacrifice to the Muisca's god. To the Muisca, “El Dorado” was not a city, but the king at the center of this ritual, also called “the Gilded One.” While El Dorado is meant to refer to the Gilded One, the name has now become synonymous with the lost city of gold, and any other place where one can quickly obtain wealth.
In 1545, Conquistadores Lázaro Fonte and Hernán Perez de Quesada attempted to drain Lake Guatavita. As they did so, they found gold along its shores, fueling their suspicion that the lake contained a treasure of riches. They worked for three months, with workers forming a bucket chain, but they were unable to drain the lake sufficiently to reach any treasures deep within the lake. In 1580, another attempt to drain the lake was made by business entrepreneur Antonio de Sepúlveda. Once again, various pieces of gold were found along the shores, but the treasure at the depths of the lake remained concealed. Other searches were conducted on Lake Guatavita, with estimates that the lake could contain up to $300 million in gold, with no luck in finding the treasures. All searches came to a halt when the Colombian government declared the lake a protected area in 1965. Nonetheless, the search for El Dorado continues, even without the ability to search Lake Guatavita. The legends of the Muisca tribe, the Gilded One and their ritualistic sacrifice of treasures have transformed over time into today’s tale of El Dorado, lost city of gold.
Dubai cultivates an ultra-modern image of dazzling architecture and effortless wealth. Yet its deserts conceal forgotten cities and a hidden history which reveal how its early inhabitants adapted and overcame dramatic past climate change.
One of the most famous lost cities of Arabia – tantalizingly so because historians have known it existed from written records but simply could not find it – is the medieval city of Julfar. Home to the legendary Arabian seafarer Ahmed ibn Majid, as well as allegedly to the fictional Sindbad the Sailor, Julfar thrived for a thousand years before falling into ruin and disappearing from human memory for almost two centuries. Unlike other desert cities, Julfar was a thriving port, in fact the hub of southern Gulf Arabic trade in the Middle Ages.
Julfar was known to be somewhere on the Persian Gulf coast north of Dubai, but the actual site was only found by archaeologists in the 1960s. The earliest signs of settlement found on the site date from the 6th century, by which time its inhabitants were already trading as far afield as India and the Far East on a routine basis.
The 10th to 14th centuries were a golden age for Julfar and for long-distance Arab trading and seafaring, with Arab navigators routinely traveling halfway around the world. Arabs had sailed into European waters long before Europeans succeeded in navigating through the Indian Ocean and into the Persian Gulf, for instance. As the main base for these voyages and trade, Julfar was the largest and most important city in the southern Gulf for over a thousand years. Arab merchants routinely made the mammoth eighteen-month sea voyage as far as China, and traded almost everything imaginable.
Such a valuable commercial centre attracted constant attention from rival powers though. The Portuguese took control in the 16th century, by which time Julfar was a substantial city of around 70,000 people. A century later the Persians seized it, only to lose it in 1750 to the Qawasim tribe from Sharjah who established themselves next-door at Ras al-Khaimah, which they continue to rule to this day, leaving the old Julfar to gradually decay until its ruins became forgotten amongst the coastal sand dunes. Today most of Julfar in all likelihood remains still hidden beneath the sprawling dunes north of Ras al-Khaimah.” – courtesy David Millar
Study finds space travel influences working of brain
Scientists of the University of Antwerp and the University of Liege have found how the human brain changes and adapts to weightlessness, after being in space for 6 months.
Some of the changes turned out to be lasting – even after 8 months back on Earth. Raphael Liegeois, soon to be the third Belgian in space, acknowledges the importance of the research, “to prepare the new generation of astronauts for longer missions.”
A child who learns not to drop a glass on the floor, or a tennis player predicting the course of an incoming ball to hit it accurately are examples of how the brain incorporates the physical laws of gravity to optimally function on Earth. Astronauts who go to space reside in a weightless environment, where the brain’s rules about gravity are no longer applicable.
A new study on brain function in cosmonauts has revealed how the brain’s organization is changed after a six-month mission to the International Space Station (ISS), demonstrating the adaptation that is required to live in weightlessness.
The University of Antwerp has been leading this BRAIN-DTI scientific project through the European Space Agency. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were taken from 14 astronaut brains before and several times after their mission to space.
Using a special MRI technique, the researchers collected the astronauts’ brain data in a resting condition, hence without having them engage in a specific task. This resting-state functional MRI technique enabled the researchers to investigate the brain’s default state and to find out whether this changes or not after long-duration spaceflight.
Learning effect
In collaboration with the University of Liege, recent analyses of the brain’s activity at rest revealed how functional connectivity, a marker of how activity in some brain areas is correlated with the activity in others, changes in specific regions.
“We found that connectivity was altered after spaceflight in regions which support the integration of different types of information, rather than dealing with only one type each time, such as visual, auditory, or movement information’, say Steven Jillings and Floris Wuyts (University of Antwerp). “Moreover, we found that some of these altered communication patterns were retained throughout 8 months of being back on Earth. At the same time, some brain changes returned to the level of how the areas were functioning before the space mission.”
Both scenarios of changes are plausible: retained changes in brain communication may indicate a learning effect, while transient changes may indicate more acute adaptation to changed gravity levels.
“This dataset is so special as their participants themselves. Back in 2016, we were historically the first to show how spaceflight may affect brain function on a single cosmonaut. Some years later we are now in a unique position to investigate the brains of more astronauts, several times. Therefore, we are deciphering the potential of the human brain all the more in confidence”, says Dr. Athena Demertzi (GIGA Institute, University of Liege), co-supervisor of this this work.
New generation of astronauts
“Understanding physiological and behavioral changes triggered by weightlessness is key to plan human space exploration. Therefore, mapping changes of brain function using neuroimaging techniques as done in this work is an important step to prepare the new generation of astronauts for longer missions”, comments Raphael Liegeois, Doctor of Engineering Science (ULiege) with a Thesis in the field of Neuroscience, future ESA Astronaut.
The researchers are excited with the results, though they know it is only the first step in pursuing our understanding of brain communication changes after space travel. For example, we still need to investigate what the exact behavioral consequence is for these brain communication changes, we need to understand whether longer time spent in outer space might influence these observations and whether brain characteristics may be helpful in selecting future astronauts or monitoring them during and after space travel.

Wetenschappers van de Universiteit Luik en de Universiteit Antwerpen hebben onderzocht hoe het menselijk brein verandert en zich aanpast aan gewichtloosheid na een verblijf van zes maanden in de ruimte. Sommige veranderingen blijken permanent, zelfs na acht maanden terug op aarde.
“Dit onderzoek is erg belangrijk om de nieuwe generatie astronauten voor te bereiden op langere missies”, zegt Raphaël Liégeois, die binnenkort de derde Belg ooit in de ruimte zal zijn. Liégeois doctoreerde overigens aan de Universiteit van Luik met een proefschrift over neurowetenschappen.
Het nieuwe onderzoek naar de werking van de hersenen bij astronauten toont nu aan dat bepaalde hersenstructuren veranderen na een verblijf van zes maanden in de gewichtloosheid van het Internationaal Ruimtestation (ISS). De Universiteit Antwerpen leiddde het wetenschappelijke project ‘BRAIN-DTI’ via het Europees Ruimteagentschap (ESA).
Hoe werd dit ontdekt?
Door de hersenfunctie in kaart te brengen via neurobeeldvorming, willen de wetenschappers astronauten beter voorbereiden op lange missies. “Als we mensen verantwoord de ruimte in willen sturen, moeten we meer inzicht krijgen in fysiologische veranderingen en gedragsveranderingen door gewichtloosheid”, aldus nog de toekomstige ESA-astronaut.
De onderzoekers maakten MRI-scans van de hersenen bij maar liefst dertien astronauten, zowel voor hun ruimtereis als na hun terugkomst. De wetenschappers verzamelden initieel gegevens over de hersenen van de ruimtevaarders in rust, zonder dat die een specifieke taak moesten uitvoeren. Na een verblijf in de ruimte werd vervolgens gekeken of de toestand veranderd was.
Wat is er ontdekt?
Uit de recente analyses van de hersenactiviteit in rust, uitgevoerd in samenwerking met de Universiteit van Luik, blijkt dat de functionele connectiviteit - een maatstaf voor de correlatie van activiteit in verschillende hersengebieden - veranderd was in specifieke gebieden bij de ruimtevaarders.
“We stellen vast dat de connectiviteit na een ruimtereis anders is”, legt Floris Wuyts (UA) uit. “Zeker in bepaalde hersengebieden die de integratie van verschillende soorten informatie tegelijk ondersteunen en zich niet focussen op één type prikkel tegelijk.”
“Sterker nog”, gaat zijn collega Steven Jillings verder. “Sommige van de gewijzigde communicatiepatronen waren acht maanden na hun terugkeer naar de aarde nog steeds aanwezig. Andere hersenveranderingen werden dan weer wél teruggedraaid naar het niveau van functioneren van voor de ruimtereis.”
De permanente veranderingen getuigen van een zeker leereffect, menen de onderzoekers. Tijdelijke veranderingen wijzen verder op een aanpassing aan de gewijzigde zwaartekracht.
Wat brengt verder onderzoek?
Volgens dokter Athena Demertzi ( Universiteit Luik) is de dataset die de onderzoekers ter beschikking hebben erg bijzonder. “In 2016 toonden wij als eerste aan hoe de werking van de hersenen bij één astronaut veranderd was na een ruimtereis. Nu kregen we de kans om meerdere astronauten te volgen. Zo krijgen we een steeds beter beeld van het ware potentieel van het menselijk brein.”
De onderzoekers zijn enthousiast over de resultaten, maar zeggen te beseffen dat dit nog maar de eerste stap is. Er moet bijvoorbeeld nog onderzocht worden of ons gedrag concreet verandert na een ruimtereis, en of een langer verblijf in de ruimte onze waarnemingen kan beïnvloeden. Ook de vraag of bepaalde hersenkenmerken verkieslijk zijn bij de selectie van toekomstige astronauten of specifiek opgevolgd moeten worden tijdens en na een ruimtereis, is nog open voor debat.

Incredible Bill Herrmann UFO & Alien Abduction Case
Incredible Bill Herrmann UFO & Alien Abduction Case
Bill Herrmann UFO & Alien Abduction case
William J. Hermann’s experience with a UFO and alleged alien abduction in 1978 is a remarkable story that still generates interest among people interested in the UFO phenomenon. Hermann’s story is unique in that he claimed to have taken photographs of the UFO, which were eventually authenticated by photo experts. Furthermore, his story of being taken aboard the UFO and examined by humanoid beings during a hypnosis session is intriguing.
Bill Herrmann UFO photo of a flying saucer
Hermann’s experience began in November of 1977 when he claimed to have had a series of sightings of a UFO over Charleston, South Carolina. On January 22, 1978, he was finally able to take nine photographs of the object. Two months later, he claimed to have had a close encounter with the same UFO. According to Hermann, the disc he had sighted earlier reappeared and came toward him. It sent out a light beam that paralyzed him, causing him to lose consciousness. He awoke three hours later 15 miles away and watched the UFO depart.
After reporting the incident to the police, Hermann began suffering from insomnia and general nervousness and unrest. He eventually submitted to hypnosis under the guidance of James A. Harder, a prominent UFO researcher associated with the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. During the hypnosis, he recalled being aboard the UFO and examined by three humanoid creatures with large hairless heads, oversized eyes, pale skin, and red clothing. One of the three spoke to him, but his mouth did not appear to move. He was given a brief tour of the spacecraft and then lost consciousness. He claimed the beings were from Zeta Reticuli and had been observing Earth for half a century. They were concerned about humanity’s tendencies toward war and warned that our violent natures would destroy human civilization.
Video #1: Bill Herrmann’s 1978 UFO Encounter and Alien Abduction: Details from his Hypnosis Session
In the weeks following the hypnosis session, Hermann claimed to have other sightings and began channeling messages from the people who had abducted him. He also produced a metal bar that he claimed came from the aliens, which was eventually shown to be made of lead and antimony, similar in content to the material in an automobile battery. In May of 1979, Hermann claimed to have had a final contact with the saucer beings, who took him for a ride.
Video #2: Bill Herrmann’s 1978 Encounter: Capturing Photos of a Hovering UFO Close to Charleston Air Force Base
As Hermann’s story became more widely known, he coauthored a more complete account of his story with Wendelle Stevens, a publisher of UFO contactee material (Amazon link). The volume circulated in the contactee subculture but was generally dismissed by ufologists as lacking any collaboration.
Overall, William J. Hermann’s experience is a fascinating example of an alleged UFO encounter and alien abduction that has captured the imagination of people interested in the UFO phenomenon for decades. While skeptics may dismiss his story, it is clear that Hermann truly believed in what he experienced, and it remains an intriguing part of UFO lore.

President Reagan’s Diaries
Solar Warden – The Secret Space Program
The National Archive Records Administration made available almost 250,000 pages of documents from President Reagan’s administration that includes a curious comment found in President Reagan’s Diary. The entry for Tuesday, June 11, 1985 (page 334) reads:
“Lunch with 5 top space scientists.”
“It was fascinating. Space truly is the last frontier and some of the developments there in astronomy etc. are like science fiction, except they are real. I learned that our shuttle capacity is such that we could orbit 300 people.”
The Space Shuttle grounded by President Obama held a maximum of eight people and only five were built for space flight. Even if all five took off fully loaded it would be impossible to place and maintain 300 astronauts in orbit. Apparently, President Reagan revealed the existence of a highly classified space program that could accommodate hundreds of astronauts in orbit?
Apparently hidden within one of the ten unified combatant commands of the U.S. military, Strategic Command, is a highly classified fleet of aircraft carrier sizedantigravity vehicles that operate in outer space.
Lunch with 5 Top Space Scientists
President Reagan Diary states,we could orbit 300 people.”
Editor’s Note: This would indicate a spaceship at least as large as a 747-8 aircraft that is 250 feet long. It is likely much bigger to accommodate sleeping quarters, kitchen facilities, bathrooms, storage radar and weapons. The now grounded Space Shuttle held a maximum of eight people and only five were built for space flight.
A highly classified space program that could accommodate hundreds of astronauts in orbit was buikt. These comments by two Presidents indicate we have large spaceships defending Earth. Apparently hidden within one of the ten unified combatant commands of the U.S. military, Strategic Command is a highly classified fleet of aircraft carrier sized antigravity vehicles that operate in outer space. The United States has organized its military forces into ten unified combatant commands respectively led by a single four star General or Admiral who are cleared for UFO data. Only these commanders know of the existence of UFOs and appoint a few subordinates who have a need to know. Six of the unified commands span the globe in terms of different geographical areas. There are four functional commands where specialized military activities are run by a single “Combatant Commander.” From 1985 to 2002 Space Command was responsible for outer space operations. In June 2002, Space Command merged with Strategic Command, located at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. which is responsible for a range of space, satellite, missile, nuclear and intelligence activities. The U.S. Space Force was established Dec. 20, 2019, when the National Defense Authorization Act was signed into law, creating the first new branch of the armed services in 73 years.
Solar Warden – The Secret Space Program
Space Force Released Photo
Clarkson writes, “ Former President Donald J. Trump developed the “Space Force,”. After telling an audience at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar that “space is a war fighting domain,” Trump said, “that “We may even have a space force.” Also, the Air Force announced that the 200 man National Space Defense Center will operate 24 hours seven days a week to protect US satellites. It appears offensive forces would be needed to conduct combat operations to protect our satellites.
Darren Perks
UK News Darren Perks reports since 1980, a secret space fleet code named ‘Solar Warden’ has been in operation unknown to the public.
These are my own words after conducting research into the secret program. While conducting an FOI (freedom of information) request with the DOD (department of defense), I had a very unexpected response by email from them which read:
“About an hour ago I spoke to a NASA rep who confirmed this was their program and that it was terminated by the President. He also informed me that it was not a joint program with the DOD. The NASA rep informed me that you should be directed to the Johnson Space Center FOIA Manager.
I have run your request through one of our space-related directorates and I’m waiting on one other division with the Command to respond back to me. I will contact you once I have a response from the other division. Did NASA refer you to us?”
The program not only operates classified under the US Government but also under the United Nations authority. So, you might be wondering, how do I know this information?
.. One notable contributor is Gary Mckinnon.
Hacker Gary McKinnon
When Gary McKinnon hacked into U.S. Space Command computers several years ago and learned of the existence of “non-terrestrial officers” and “fleet-to-fleet transfers” and a secret program called “Solar Warden”, he was charged by the Bush Justice Department with having committed hacking“the biggest military computer hack of all time” and stood to face prison time of up to 70 years after extradition from UK. But trying earnest McKinnon in open court would involve his testifying to the above classified facts, and his attorney would be able to subpoena government officers to testify under oath about the Navy’s Space Fleet.”To date the UK has refused to extradite McKinnon.
McKinnon also found out about the ships or craft within Solar Warden. It is said that there are about eight cigar-shaped Motherships (each longer than two football fields 200 Yards end-to-end) and 43 small “scout ships. The Solar Warden Space Fleet operates under the US Naval Network and Space Operations Command (NNSOC) [formerly Naval Space Command and most likely has transferred to Space Force Command].
Solar Warden is said to be made up from U.S. aerospace Black Projects contractor at first using submarine designs with anti-gravity engines, but with some contributions of parts and systems by William Tomkins. Canada, United Kingdom, Italy, Austria, Australia ,and possibly Russia, The program is operated from secret military bases.”
Early Models Designed Using Submarines for Design
We have a space fleet, which is code named; ‘Solar Warden.’ There were, as of 2005, eight ships, an equivalent to aircraft carriers and forty-three ‘protectors,’ which are space planes. One was lost recently to an accident on Mars’ orbit while it was attempting to re-supply the multinational colony within Mars. This base was allegedly established in 1964 by American and Soviet teamwork. Not everything is, as it seems.”
Darren Perk’s states, “We have visited all the planets in our solar system, at a distance of course, except Mercury. We have landed on Pluto and a few moons. These ships contain personnel from many countries and have sworn an oath to the World Government. The technology came from back engineering alien-disc wreckage. William Tomkins claims to have designed the craft and at times with alien assistance.”
Many people around the world are now witnessing craft moving around in the skies and sub space that completely defy gravity. Whether they are part of the Solar Warden secret program, military experimental aircraft or not, thousands of people know what they see.
In my view is very real and a very strong possibility. So no, I don’t think we should rule it out as complete nonsense. Yes, it’s a conspiracy because of all the hype and controversy surrounding the facts and information about the program.
Sensitive is an understatement. This program would change the world and our views on space exploration and travel, so no wonder that it would be kept a big ‘secret’.! Thanks to Darren Perk’s investigation work here: www.ufoshropshire.co.uk
Rumors that the U.S. has a highly classified fleet of antigravity vehicles have circulated for years. On March 23, 1993, at an engineering conference in Los Angeles,
.
Dr. Ben Rich designed theF-117 fighter, CEO of Lockheed’s Skunkworks, at an Engineer’s conference showed a slide with a black disk headed for space and said: “We now have the technology to take ET home“.
Numerous Space Objects Photographed
In 2007, a John Lenard Walson invented a new gadget capable of extending his amateur telescope resolution. The new way to extend the capabilities of his eight-inch Meade telescope to shoot his videos has enabled him to achieve optical resolutions – at almost the diffraction limit. John Lenard Walson has given me permission to show his amazing photos. The discovery was first publicized by Jeff Rense at “Mystery Space Machines Above. Black Ops, Star Wars Or ET? Or All Of The Above?”
Objects are photographed in space several hundred miles above Earth and are likely Solar Warden or extraterrestrial craft. This is an alleged top-secret craft which has incredible abilities. Maybe some of Wilson’s images are sensitive, secret US or Russian military Star Wars machines. On March 23, 1983, President Reagan proposed the creation of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), an ambitious project that would construct a space-based anti-missile system. The SDI was intended to defend the United States from attack from Soviet ICBMs . Maybe these ‘secret’
recently, China has been discussing its anti-sat programs and even threatened to destroy or disable all GPS satellites which over-fly Chinese territory. Billions have been spent by the government for black ops. Walson’s video images and sounds may well show some of these advanced machines. So, what you see could be spacecrafts, and maybe even spaceships, parked or stationed in orbit above the Earth. Some of these items might be products of non-human intelligence but rockets are unlikely able to put these spacecraft into orbit. Another propulsion system would be needed suggesting alien technology.
MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Walson received the following comment about one of the videos: “My congratulations on your superb astrophotography. MIT Lincoln Laboratory is the group which has built some of the things you are seeing. Much of what they do is what used to be the Star Wars project, which no doubt involves some of your objects.” MIT Lincoln Laboratory is federally funded and sponsored by the Missile Defense Agency. It is known they examined crashed UFOs in the field and those held at Wright Patterson AFB and likely helped back engineered these craft.
ISS Typical Space Plane Photo
So far, his claims and disclosures have not been given the coverage they deserve. He has hundreds of official USAF documents to back up his claims. If he is correct, then the U.S. does have a secret space fleet consisting probably of dozens of 600 feet wide flying triangles, which can go to and from space with ease, and travel at Mac 9 .For over ten years John Walson shot images of celestial craft. John writes, ‘I have so much more that I have not told anyone yet, I have very specially made UV spectrum telescopes and UV real cameras with very amazing footage. I would really like to share my telescope inventions in a TV show to use my equipment to solve famous historical UFO or Sky space-based events.I’m saving to be able to bring my telescope to a dark area, no atmospheric distractions. I want to give you clear beautiful high-quality video, and evidence from a remote location.
Walson claims he discovered that many “stars” in the sky are in fact HUGE structured objects – giant machines are “fixed” in the sky. With this new-found ability, he has proceeded to videotape, night and day, many strange and heretofore unseen objects in earth orbit. Walson claims that he can record them in plain daylight and can record sounds from the machines in space. The resulting Astro-photographic video footage has revealed a raft of machines, hardware, satellites, spacecraft and likely alien space ships which appear as stars..
These discs are seen hovering over thunderstorms appearing to collect lightning strikes perhaps to collect electrical energy.
John needs to go to an area with less light and cleaner atmosphere. You can help obtain even better images by helping him purchase a van to travel to better locations. Go to the gofundme link here.
Explosion from Missile Hitting Chinese Spy Balloon
Why would China launch balloons that follow the jet stream over the U. S. and Canada for several days. It crossed into Alaska on January 28. The balloon was shot down on Saturday February 4, by a Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder missile fired by an F-22 from Langley AFB using after crossing Maelstrom AFB, Montana, B- 2 Whiteman AFB, Shaw AFB in a North Carolina coast. They likely obtained critical intelligence on nuclear missiles and critical weather data. The balloon fell slowly six miles in the Atlantic Ocean from coast. The Chinese spy balloon carried devices to intercept sensitive communications, the State Department said Thursday, offering the first proof that the balloon was on an espionage mission. Allegedly, we were able to block or monitor the data collected from being sent to Chinese satellites. Surveillance balloons allow the operator to “give a more persistent stare in some of the places where we don’t see as well as we can.
The balloon had solar panels large enough to power “multiple active intelligence collection sensors,” There have been at least five spy balloon incursions into U.S. territory, according to the Pentagon. Apparently, they have been flying many years over Japan, Taiwan and the U.S. collecting intelligence and weather data. The heat generated by the electronic systems appeared to be enough to provide a targeting lock for the imaging infrared seeker in the AIM-9X. The height of the target—60,000-65,000 ft.—still required the missile to ascend several thousand feet from a launch point at 58,000 ft. Newly discovered balloon flights over Guam, Hawaii, Texas, and Florida. Instead of a singular provocation, a pattern has developed of Chinese spy flights U.S.
China claimed it was a lost meteorological balloon and has gained useful information concerning U.S. lack of action. The President ordered the balloon shot down on Wednesday, but to avoid populated areas. Chinese Satellites have ability to attain a great deal of intelligence, but weather data is comparatively hard to capture, so weather balloon are often used to collect weather data. A translucent fabric allows most light to pass through the balloon without heating the helium gas inside.
This is likely a sophisticated Chinese Communist Party method possible to destroy the U.S. by using severe weather. The very unusual weather of flooding, tornadoes, and the coldest temperatures ever from New Hampshire to the Florida Keys provides evidence of this weather control capability. These include the coldest weather in 38 years in December and snow storms the worst in generations this Christmas with 25,000 plane flights cancelled, a major bomb cyclone blizzard across the U.S. killing more than 65 people, 4 feet of snow in Buffalo, and homes covered in ice. China has expertise in geoengineering methods, weather control, satellite direct energy weapons, and bio-warfare as the balloon development of Winds aloft Sensor, which in the case of the DARPA project could send real-time stratospheric wind measurements.
Possible UFOs shot down that are unlikely to be revealed to the public.
U.S. and allied forces had bent tracking a metallic cylinder over Alaska into Canadian Yukon Territory for more than a day by the time it was shot down on Saturday February 11. Coast to Coast, Radio claimed the last three balloons were UFOs. China is reporting a UFO flying over Eastern China as officials prepare to shoot it down. “It is China that has a high-altitude surveillance balloon program for intelligence collection that it has used to violate the sovereignty of the US and over 40 countries. Another balloon was shot down Sunday over Lake Huron, Michigan.
Nearly 11,000 Chinese Weather Control weapons
NBC claims Chinese cloud-seeding weapons include 6,781 artillery guns and 4,110 rocket launchers, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. The China Meteorological Administration says 4,231 flights for cloud seeding were conducted. Plus they have built five HAARP facilities and likely one aboard a ship. The Chinese scientists claim their weather control worked — increasing rainfall during those years by 210 billion cubic meters, enough to meet the annual needs of 400 million people. China has a population of about 1.3 billion.
Over the last ten years, more than 5,000 people have died in the U.S. because of tornadoes, tropical storms, hurricanes, floods, lightning strikes and extremes of heat or cold. During the same period, hazardous weather events caused over $150 billion in property damage
Covid was developed in the Wuhan Chinese Laboratory causing 205,000 + U.S. deaths. China builds advanced weapons systems stealing American chip technology. China now accounts for an incredible 28% of all world manufacturing. The U.S. controlled much of the weather in 1968 in Vietnam and the Chinese have 39,000 weather control personnel in Shanghai alone near their HAARP facility. Everyday Communist Chins radio reminds the Chinese people they are at war with the U.S.
HAARP Antenna Field
China artificially modified the weather in advance of a political celebration last July, a study by Tsinghua University reveals. The Chinese government used ‘cloud seeding’ to control rain and reduce pollution in Beijing, in preparation for its Communist Party Centenary event. Gathering under unusually clear skies, tens of thousands of people attended the ceremony in Tiananmen Square. Reports by the South China Morning Post confirm that the weather Control n succeeded and the city saw a drop in air pollution.
China already spends an estimated $100 million a year and employs 50,000 for rainmaking and weather control. Typical Weather Control Device. At installations, outside Beijing, peasants don military fatigues squat behind anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers, blasting the sky with silver iodide, hoping to shock rain from the clouds. Chinese scientists say they kept the rain away from the opening and closing ceremony, of Beijing Ceremonies. One staff member at the Beijing Meteorological Bureausaid “This is a sensitive topic the subject was very guarded, Wang Guanghe, deputy director of the Research Center for Weather Modification is primary office that likely sent up the balloon working with the Communist Army.Hong Kong CNN —China revealed plans to drastically expand an experimental weather modification program to cover an area of over 2.1 million square miles – more than 1.5 times the size of India.
According to a statement from the State Council, China will have a “developed weather modification system” by 2025. ” The program will help with disaster relief, agricultural production, emergency responses to fires, and droughts.
A Popular Mechanics article states,Control of the ionosphere and for clandestine communications and detection of submarines a, has created a Chinese chase for a HAARP for weapons instead of science.
Small electrical and temperature changes in the Jet Stream in China or Russia can create large changes in the jet stream when it hits the US. Weather weapons that are able to change the trajectory of the Jet Stream can create record low temperatures that have been recorded in the US during January 2019 and 2023 according to Wikipedia.
Red Jet Stream 100 MPH west to east winds makes unusual curve up to Alaska or Canada bring cold air to U.S.
As the jet stream changes intensity and position, it affects the motion and strength of the Arctic air mass bringing it into the U.S… Jet streams follow the boundaries between hot and cold air and tend to pull the weather with them. That array transmits RF waves that interact with the ionosphere and may affect the location of the jet stream pushing it further north to pick up freezing temperatures. The deadly winter storm knocks out power in 1.5 million homes. The cold air is the coldest and most powerful in a generation and the winds in the jet stream are reaching 200 mph over the North Atlantic.
The HAARP beam is broad like a flashlight’s, not narrow like a laser, but it can be electronically steered anywhere within 30° of zenith—that is, local vertical—and it can operate at 3–10 megawatts of power (MHz) Its powerful radio waves drive ionospheric electrons back and forth in what are called plasma waves. As those driven electrons collide with each other and with background species, their temperature goes up, which is why HAARP is called a heater. Thanks to its frequency agility, the HAARP antenna can heat at specific altitudes where the transmission frequency simultaneously matches two resonances, 180 antennas are linked to function as one mega antenna aiming millions of watts of Extremely Low Frequency waves into one tiny patch of the atmosphere disrupting the jet stream.
During a Senate hearing on May 20, 2014, David Walker, Deputy Secretary of the Air Force for science, technology and regarding HAARP in Alaska. Walker said,” This is not an area that we have any need for in the future” and it would not be a good use of Air Force research funds to keep HAARP going. “We’re moving on to other ways of managing the ionosphere, which the HAARP was really designed to do,” he said “To inject energy into the ionosphere to be able to actually control it. But that work has been completed.”
U S Defense Secretary William Cohen in 2000, said, “ HAARP and weather control is not only possible, but has been and continues to be used as a “super weapon,” “Others [nations] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.
… There are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreck terror upon other nations. It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts. ”
Many believe HAARP was created and has been used for weather control, by controlling the jet streams movement with enough juice to trigger cold weather across the US by directing the jet stream north into Alaska and Canada and then down into the US bringing Polar weather with it. Why build five HAARPs unless you are going to use them to change the jet streams normal patterns .
Climate engineering/geoengineering/weather warfare is mathematically the greatest and most immediate threat we face (short of nuclear cataclysm).
The Chinese Communists have developed at least five HAARP facilities, three in the Gobi Desert, one near Shanghai, and a similar facility on the Hainan Island in the South China Sea. China also likely mounted a HAARP facility on ships and are able to move to key locations and conduct geoengineering such as changing the course of the Jet Stream. Five known Extremely Low Frequency wave transmitters are operated by China. If they work together, they could alter the world’s weather by changing the jet stream’s route. That in turn have cause extreme cold, storms or droughts, or even steer hurricanes. Global climate engineering/geoengineering programs are radically disrupting weather patterns, disrupting the hydrological cycle , causing drought in some regions, contributing to wildfires, and fueling flooding others,
Brigadier General Robert Spalding shares how China took over while America’s Elite Slept, He was interviewed about his book,” Stealth War” that not all wars are violent. General Spalding told how Chinese Communist Party worked behind the scenes to undermine the United States by co-opting our elite people and paying large sums of money to many like Hunter Biden. General Spalding lived in China and spoke Chinese for three years and assumed the duties of Special Assistant to the U.S. Air Force Vice Chief of Staff in February 2018. He states, “Daily the Communist propaganda media reminds the Chinese they are at war with the U.S., and everything should be done to destroy the U.S.”
Why the Chinese during COVID-19 did not allow travel from Wuhan, China into China, but encouraged over 5 million people to travel from Wuhan to all other parts of the world with Covid killing millions. Chinese may attack Taiwan soon/
The European Union called the project a global concern and passed a resolution calling for more information on its health and environmental risks. Despite those concerns, officials at HAARP insist the project is nothing more sinister than a radio science research facility.”
HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) was a critically important to U.S. military 1981, defense project with controversy over its alleged weather control capabilities. The project was given to University of Alaska by the military in 2013-2015, after attracting negative publicity. It was more than a research facility with little military value. Some respected researchers allege that the electromagnetic warfare capabilities of the project were designed to forward the US military’s goal of achieving “Full-spectrum Dominance” by the year 2020 and of “Owning the Weather in 2025” Others claim that Chinese HAARP technologies have been and continue to be used for weather control, to cause earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, to disrupt global s systems, and more.
Dr. Bernard Eastlund is the scientist who created and developed the HAARP project. Below is some info from his website.
Large regions of the atmosphere could be lifted to a high altitude so that missiles encounter unexpected and unplanned drag forces with resultant destruction or deflection. Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device. Ozone, nitrogen, etc. concentrations in the atmosphere could be artificially increased.
Electromagnetic pulse defenses are also possible. The earth’s magnetic field could be decreased or disrupted.
U.S. Alaska HAARP allegedly uses s an electrical and radio wave transmitter with 3 million watts to heat the ionosphere. [The equipment could be designed for a billion watts that could act as a death ray or modern weapon. The HAARP allegedly can even change the moods and central nervous systems of people.
From documentary on HAARP weather control capabilities See Canada’s CBCHAARP You Tube
Chinese HAARP showing Beam and Sky
180 antennas are linked to function as one mega antenna aiming millions of watts of Extremely Low Frequency waves to steer the jet stream.
The energy HAARP beams into the atmosphere heats up the ionosphere and pushes it out into space. This could indirectly affect the jet stream as the ionosphere is pushed into space, dragging the stratosphere below up and pulling the jet stream up as well, rerouting it by hundreds of miles. The result changes the way water moves through the atmosphere change weather patterns over large areas.
From 1987 through 1992, California experienced its worst-ever drought. Food prices went up as crops and livestock died. At the same time, , a similar program to HAARP, mysteriously stalled a high-pressure system 800 miles off the coast of California, which was blocking the usual flow of Pacific rain. Normally, the winds blow in an east. However, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) showed the winds were blowing in a west. The jet stream was much weaker. The jet stream only returned to normal in 1995 but soon started acting up. Angels Don’t Play this HAARP:
New UFO/UAP Social Network, MUFON Observer Network
A rare green comet that hadn’t been seen since the time of the Neanderthals made its closest approach to Earth on Wednesday (Feb. 1), thrilling astronomy geeks all over the world.“A comet last visible during the Stone Age has appeared for the first time over Stonehenge,” English Heritage, which manages the iconic prehistoric monument in the south of England, said in a tweet (opens in new tab) accompanying a stunning photograph of the comet above the stone circle.
Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and aviators who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at airfields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.
Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book, by John L. Guerra.
Special reports are President Reagan’s Diaries, Solar Warden, China Controls our Weather, Strange Craft, MUFON Social Network, and Carbon 60.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Chile, India, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force and DOD investigated UFOs for more than forty years; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Dark Forest Hypothesis: Another Take on The Fermi Paradox
Have you ever looked up into the night sky and wondered, is there something more out there? Well I have a story for you. It's a story of a star system just 4.37 light-years away called Alpha Centauri and its smallest star, Proxima Centauri, around which a planet, Proxima b, orbits. And guess what? Recent studies have indicated that this planet is not only capable of sustaining life, but may even already be home to intelligent life forms! So buckle up, we're about to explore the secrets of Proxima Centauri together. If you looked up into the night sky, you would have a hard time picking out Alpha Centauri A and B, two stars located only 23 times farther away from each other than the Sun is from Uranus. In the ranking of the brightest stars in our night sky, Alpha Centauri takes 3rd place! But while it may be difficult to dissociate them with the naked eye, this fascinating pair of stars has been the subject of close research and speculation for centuries, offering astronomers a unique opportunity to study two stellar bodies in close proximity. Alpha Centauri A and B are both members of the Alpha Centauri star system, a binary star composed of two yellow-white stars, and are located 4.3 light years away from our Sun. They sit very close to each other in space, at just one tenth of a light year apart. Alpha Centauri A is the slightly brighter of the two, and both stars are very similar to the Sun in terms of size and temperature.
