Big, Red UFO Hovered over Vandenberg in 2003, Congressional Witness Testifies

Former Navy Pilot Says Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon Was Seen Above Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County

Reports of a huge, hovering red square above Vandenberg Air Force Base in northern Santa Barbara County were shared at a House of Representatives panel’s hearing on unidentified flying objects last Wednesday, July 26. 

For the last five years, the United States has been slowly leaking bits of information about UFOs, or unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) as they call them. The Indy reported in 2019 that there has been an overall “uptick of interaction with aerial phenomenon” since 2014, according to a spokesperson for naval operations. 

The football-field-sized flying object at Vandenberg was spotted in 2003, according to testimony during the hearing held by the House Oversight Committee’s national security subcommittee.

“A large group of Boeing contractors were operating near one of the launch facilities at Vandenberg Air Force Base when they observed a very large, 100-yard-sided red square approach the base from the ocean and hover at low altitude over one of the launch facilities,” said Ryan Graves, a former U.S. Navy fighter jet pilot and founder of a nonprofit focused on UAP sightings. 

“This object remained for about 45 seconds or so before darting off over the mountains,” he continued. 

Graves, the executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, said the sighting occurred around 8:45 a.m., followed by a second sighting only hours later. He said witnesses provided him with information about the mysterious incidents, as they had held onto “official documentation and records” from the event over the years.

“Later in the evening, post sunset, there were reports of other sightings on base, including some aggressive behaviors. These objects were approaching some of the security guards at rapid speeds before darting off,” Graves said.

The Vandenberg Air Force Base — renamed the Vandenberg Space Force Base in 2021 — is no stranger to anomalous phenomena. In 1964, a test missile was destroyed shortly after launch at the base. The event was allegedly filmed by Lieutenant Robert Jacobs, who in 1982 came forward saying a space object approached the missile and shot a plasma-type beam at the dummy warhead from four different angles. His superiors had told him to say nothing of the sighting. 

Graves, one of three former military members to testify at the July 26 hearing, based his discussion around “three critical issues,” including claims that UAP are in our airspace but are grossly underreported, stigma around UAPs is powerful and “challenges national security,” and “the government knows more about UAP than shared publicly, and excessive classification practices keep crucial information hidden.” 

The alleged sighting of a giant, flying red square raises eyebrows. The credibility is questionable — how did others miss it? Nevertheless, reports of odd sightings are becoming more public, and are being treated more seriously by government officials on both sides of the political spectrum. 

Last year, the Department of Defense created the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, for handling UAP reports.

The U.S. intelligence community said earlier this year that UFO reporting by U.S. military personnel is increasing, but government officials have emphasized that only a small percentage of those reports could be described as “anomalous.” 

Many representatives at the hearing acknowledged UAPs as a potential threat, which requires government transparency and better understanding of UAPs. That includes efforts to encourage people to come forward with UAP reports, according to Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Long Beach). 

The Independent reached out to Congressmember Salud Carbajal’s office, but they had no comment at this time. 

“The more we understand, the safer we will be,” Garcia said.

Whistleblowing is fundamentally American, since 1778

An Intermediate Mass Black Hole (IMBH) is one with a mass between hundreds and thousands of Suns. They aren’t formed by the collapse of a massive star, nor are they the gravitational seeds of galaxies. They’ve only recently been discovered through the gravitational waves of black hole mergers, so they aren’t well understood. We don’t even know how common they might be. But if an IMBH orbits Sag A*, its gravitational pull would affect the orbits of nearby stars also orbiting our supermassive black hole.

In this study, the team looked at the orbit of a star known as S0-2, or S2. It has one of the closest orbits to Sag A*, with an orbital period of just 16 years. It orbits the black hole so closely that you need to take general relativity into account when calculating its orbit, and we have more than two decades of observational data on it. If there is an IMBH orbiting nearby, S0-2 should be affected by it.

The team found that to the limits of observation, there was no evidence of gravitational perturbations on the orbit of S0-2. This doesn’t mean there isn’t an intermediate-mass black hole in the area, but it does put some upper bounds on the mass if it does exist. Based on the data, if a hypothetical IMBH orbits outside the orbit of S0-2, say with an orbital radius between 1,000 AU and 4,000 AU, then it could have a mass no greater than 1,000 to 10,000 Suns. If there is an IMBH orbiting Sag A* closer than S0-2, then it can have a mass no greater than 400 Suns.

Those aren’t tight constraints, but they do confirm that there isn’t a large intermediate black hole orbiting Sagittarius A*. If it has a smaller IMBH companion, it’s currently beyond our ability to detect.

Unveiling the Secrets of S4: A CGI Recreation of the Infamous UFO Base

In the never-ending quest to decipher the mysteries of our universe, we often find ourselves drawn to the enigmatic Area 51, a name synonymous with extraterrestrial encounters, top-secret research, and alleged UFO sightings. As the world of technology continues to evolve, we find new ways to visualize and understand these baffling phenomena. Today, we are thrilled to present an incredibly detailed and immersive computer-generated video, recreating the secret S4 UFO base, allegedly situated within the confines of Area 51.

Inspired by the riveting documentary “Bob Lazar and the Flying Saucers,” (Amazon link) the creator of this video sought to amalgamate valuable insights and painstakingly bring to life a digital representation of the secret S4 Base. Harnessing the power of Unreal Engine 5, the result is a vivid and engrossing look at the world’s most enigmatic “extraterrestrial” base.

The animation traces its roots to the contentious story of Bob Lazar, the scientist who sparked worldwide intrigue with his claims of working on reverse-engineering alien technology at a site called S4, near the Area 51 test facility in Nevada. For the many who are unfamiliar with Lazar’s narrative, it revolves around his supposed employment in the late 1980s at a concealed military installation where he alleges to have worked with extraterrestrial technology.

• Unveiling Extraterrestrial Life - Unveiling the Secrets of Life on Other Planets

• Researchers talk about UFO landing sites, 1970s - 80s & 90s

To enhance the credibility and add further depth to this video, the creator has drawn upon the work and blueprints provided by Dan Burisch and Michael Schratt. Burisch, a retired government microbiologist renowned for his work in “The Hidden Hand: Alien Contact and the Government Cover-Up” and the TV series “Ancient Aliens,” lends his intricate understanding of supposed governmental contact with alien beings to this project.

Meanwhile, Schratt, a prominent military aerospace historian featured in several documentaries like “Hangar 1: The UFO Files,” “Ancient Aliens,” “Unacknowledged,” and “Top Secret UFO Projects: Declassified,” provides his extensive knowledge of military aerospace history, adding another layer of authenticity to the project.

The synergy of these dynamic elements results in a stunningly realistic animation of the mysterious S4 base. As viewers, we’re taken on a journey through eerily lifelike corridors and spaces, bringing us as close to the rumored alien technologies as we can possibly get from our computer screens.

This video stands as a testament to the power of technology and its ability to breathe life into stories and narratives that have captivated us for decades. It not only allows us to visualize Lazar’s claims but also stokes the flames of our collective curiosity about what truly lies within Area 51.

Though we must bear in mind that these representations are speculative and the existence of the S4 base remains unconfirmed, it does serve as a fascinating exploration into the world of UFO lore. The video brings us closer to understanding, or at least imagining, the tantalizing mysteries that continue to surround Area 51 and its supposed extraterrestrial affiliations.

In conclusion, this captivating animation bridges the gap between science, speculation, and storytelling, bringing to life the mysteries of Area 51’s S4 base in an unprecedented way. Whether you’re a fervent UFO enthusiast or just an intrigued visitor, prepare to embark on an exciting exploration of one of the most iconic and mysterious locations in UFO history.

NASA Can't Get Voyager 2 to Call Home — But There Might Be a Fix

NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft hasn't called home in a while, but NASA says the spacecraft will be fine.

BY KIONA SMITH

“CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?”

While Voyager 2’s operators at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory were uploading a series of commands to the spacecraft on July 21, something in their programmed commands accidentally tilted its antenna about two degrees. And over 12.3 billion miles of space, a tiny two-degree error turns into an astronomical miss.

“Data being sent by the spacecraft is no longer reaching the [Deep Space Network’s antennas on Earth], and the spacecraft is not receiving commands from ground controllers,” NASA announced recently.

The Deep Space Network picked up a carrier signal — the constant broadcast from a radio transmitter, whose frequency and intensity can be changed, or modulated, to carry an actual signal — from Voyager 2 on Tuesday afternoon. Engineers hope that if the carrier signal is hitting DSN’s antennas, then messages sent from Earth will also reach Voyager 2. If that’s the case, they can send the spacecraft instructions to point its antenna in the right direction again.

If that doesn’t work, Voyager 2 will be cut off from contact with its human operators until October 15, when the spacecraft is scheduled to reset its orientation on its own.

Voyager 2 launched in August 1977, and it entered interstellar space in November 2018. About a year ago, its sister ship, Voyager 1, experienced a different communications issue, which engineers managed to troubleshoot from billions of miles away. NASA engineers have had to find increasingly creative ways to keep the two Voyager spacecraft sending data home to Earth, but if all goes well, both spacecraft will keep calling from interstellar space until sometime in 2035.

If Aliens Actually Crashed Into Earth, Would We Know About It?

The military would probably call dibs on the evidence, but any attempt at a cover-up likely wouldn't last long, experts suggest.

BY KIONA SMITH

These questions seem like fodder for very trope-y science fiction, but last week, a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer told Congress last week, with a straight face, that an unnamed source had told him that the U.S. Department of Defense (or possibly its contractors) has debris and “nonhuman biologics” from a crashed UFO.

To answer these suddenly relevant questions, Inverse spoke with Greg Eghigian, a Pennsylvania State University historian and bioethicist who specializes in the study of UFOs.

WHO OWNS CRASHED UFOS?

If a flying saucer crashes in Oklahoma tomorrow, just for example, what happens next?

No law or treaty spells out who gets to claim the spaceship or alien remains. The U.S. and several other countries have laws about who owns meteorites (spoiler alert for U.S. readers: if the meteorite falls on private land, it belongs to the landowner; on public land, it depends) and even debris from human-made spacecraft re-entering Earth’s atmosphere (you can’t collect rocket parts in Florida, for example). Other laws even spell out who’s liable if a de-orbiting satellite crashes on someone’s house. At the moment, though, there’s nothing on the books about who technically owns a flying saucer that crashes on U.S. soil.

Senators Chuck Schumer and Mike Rounds are hoping to change that with an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. Their amendment, if it passes, would (among other things) give the U.S. federal government “eminent domain over any and all recovered technologies of unknown origin (TUO) and biological evidence of non-human intelligence (NHI) that may be controlled by private persons or entities in the interests of the public good.”

“I think the sense is that the government, particularly the military, would be the key entity that would take on this stuff,” Eghigian tells Inverse. “I don't think civilian scientists would be getting first dibs on this. I think they would be out of the loop.”

COULD THE GOVERNMENT REALLY KEEP A CRASHED UFO A SECRET?

Does that mean the Department of Defense would whisk the crash debris (and the “nonhuman biologics,” as former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch recently described it to Congress) away to a top-secret bunker, never to be spoken of again?

“To start with, I think there's no question that the first people on the ground are going to be policing authorities: it’s going to be the police, and it’s going to be the military,” says Eghigian. Once the crash site is secure, the next step would probably be forensic work, involving a mix of technicians, scientists, and engineers from within the military branches or from defense contractors.

It’s likely the military’s interest would be threefold: first, to determine whether the flying saucer and its builders pose a threat to humanity, especially the U.S.; second, to try to reverse engineer the technology for military use; and third, to keep anybody else from doing part two. That would almost certainly involve some secrecy — or at least, an attempt at secrecy.

“Militaries keep secrets all the time, and the intelligence community is built around, not just holding secrets, but also exposing secrets for their benefit,” says Eghigian. “If something remarkable happened, I can believe that that would be a dynamic that would emerge.”

But SETI Institute astronomer Seth Shostak questions how long a veil of secrecy would last on a planet surrounded by high-resolution imaging satellites.

“Actual alien craft in our airspace bigger than an office desk would likely be visible to satellites that — among other things — supply imagery to Google Earth,” he writes in a recent essay for the SETI Institute. And it’s not just satellites; more than one country’s military personnel have managed to share sensitive operational information on social media. “I still strongly maintain that alien visitation is not something that could be kept secret. The size of such a secret is just too big,” writes Shostak.

Eghigian is also skeptical that an alien cover-up could last very long, but he says the fact that so many people expect — or already believe in — a government conspiracy to hide aliens from us is, in itself, very revealing.

“So often this stuff about UFOs isn’t about UFOs at all,” Eghigian says. “It gets to the heart of how a person or an organization or group of people, your image and your idea of how government works, and what modern governments are capable of and what they do."

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Once the word gets out — and Shostak and Eghigian seem to agree that it almost certainly will, one way or another — scientists around the world would be clamoring for access to the evidence, and even the Department of Defense might have some good reasons to share.

“That would probably be followed by, you would hope, lots of questions coming from journalists like you,” Eghigian says. “And then I think the civilian scientists and researchers, if we catch wind of this stuff, would then be I think clamoring for an opportunity to have a look.”

With nearly 300 research universities in the U.S. alone, not to mention the private sector, there would be a lot of researchers clamoring for dibs on alien autopsies and analyzing the metals in the flying saucer’s hull. Sorting out who should get access to study which pieces of the evidence would quickly become a sticky, and highly politicized, problem.

“One thing I think you can expect absolutely right away is this would turn political,” says Eghigian.

Of course, this story has focused on what would happen if an alien spaceship crashed somewhere in the U.S., but there’s no reason — other than nationalism — to think the U.S. is any more likely to be a UFO crash site than any other country in the world.

“There is a kind of national hubris operating here: If extraterrestrial beings are going to come to Earth, they’re going to visit us!” writes Shostak.

In such a collision, the energy isn’t transferred to the atom’s nucleus but its electrons, or even photons, if they happen to be present. And there are two main ways they could potentially have such a collision.

One is called Bremsstrahlung radiation, meaning “braking radiation” in German. In this case, while the dark matter particle would still hit a nucleus, some energy would be transferred directly into a photon. Detectors at the SuperCDMS would then be able to pick up the increased energy of that photon and deduce that an inelastic dark matter collision could have caused it.

Bremsstrahlung radiation has been experimentally observed before, but the other potential inelastic collision method, known as the Migdal effect, has not yet. In this case, the dark matter particle again hits the nucleus, but the nucleus itself shifts ever so slightly, and the cloud of electrons surrounding it must shift as well. This shift should theoretically be detectable by experiments such as SuperCDMS, and indeed other theorists have calculated what that shift might look like in an experiment.

Unfortunately, after reanalyzing data previously collected by SuperCDMS, Dr. Kurinsky and his colleagues found no evidence of dark matter. However, they added some additional constraints by showing that a dark matter particle’s total “mass” (equivalent to the energy in high-end physics) is less than one-fifth the mass of a proton.

But they didn’t stop there. Another way the detector might not see the results they expect based on these new interaction theories is if the dark matter particles don’t make it all the way to the detector in the first place and get swallowed up by Earth’s ground or even the atmosphere beforehand. That would help to put an upper bound on the minimum level of mass dark matter to reach the detector.

To do this calculation, the physicists collaborated with another group of scientists not well-known for their interest in particle physics – geologists. That collaboration allows the physicists to calculate how much energy a dark matter particle would lose depending on which direction through the Earth it was passing. Calculations show a dramatic difference in lost energy as it passed the entire way through the Earth and its core to reach the mine in Minnesota where SuperCDMS is located finally, and another dark matter particles that might come from straight overhead and meet the path of least resistance into the detector.

Again, these calculations didn’t turn up any smoking gun of dark matter, so the search continued. However, they were able to say that dark matter must be below the energy limit that would allow the particles (if that is indeed what they are) to pass through to the detector, even via the most direct route. They can also confidently say that if it has enough energy to make it to the detector, it must have a mass of less than 1/5th of a proton.

Now the search continues, with more and more scientists joining it every year. And with more and more detectors coming online every year, maybe there is some hint of dark matter’s existence hiding in the data sets of other detectors just waiting to be analyzed using this new framework. But until then, details of this most mysterious of materials will continue to elude us.

Stairway To Heaven In Noah’s Ark

The story of Noah’s ark and the flood epic is one of the oldest nursery legends in the world and it has captivated the imaginations of children and adults alike throughout the ages. From childhood memories one may recollect that God sent the deluge to destroy all the evil people upon the earth. It is known that Noah and his family were saved by departing on a titanic ark with every species of animals and birds on board the floating zoo. The ark began its maiden voyage on the 17th day of the second month when the rain began and it lasted for the proverbial 40 days and 40 nights.

Celestial Knowledge Of The Flood Saga

Some of the more precise details after that may be a little sketchy but the Book of Genesis tells that the waters started to rise on the earth over a period of 150 days. Few will remember hearing of so many days, but they may recall that the tops of the mountains finally disappeared below the waves. Perhaps children rub their sleepy eyes when they listen to how the ark docked on Mount Ararat and miss out on the fact that it was on the 17th day of the seventh month.

Noah’s ark seemed so real then right up to where the saga ended with a rainbow on the horizon. It was the ultimate image of a colourful finale but never did anyone realize that there was a magical formula of celestial knowledge of the heavens on display in the timing details of the flood saga. Those timing details listed particulars days and specific months together with the length of periods in days. It was very mysterious how the dates and periods were so precise as if they adhered to a deliberately planned timetable.

The Riddle Of Noah’s Age

The first sign that there was some time amiss in the flood story was with an anomaly with the ages of Noah and his son Shem. It stated in the Book of Genesis that Noah was 500 years old when he became the father of triplets, one of whom was Shem. It also outlined that the flood finished on the end of Noah’s 600th year. However, later in the story it stated that Noah’s son Shem became a father when he was 100 years old, which was listed as two years after the flood. That was fake news for Shem would have been 102 years old when it was two years after the flood. It appeared that the scribes had tempted one with an intellectual challenge where the episode of the flood contained possibly the first numerical riddle in written existence.

The Ark Blocked In Its Tracks

The cockups continued when tracing the dating events in the saga of the flood as outlined in the Book of Genesis. Read the three chapters in order to get a greater appreciation of the timing details. The relevant times given for the events at the beginning of the flood are listed below and to make the presentation more user-friendly, the names of the months used today are utilized. It should be stated that ancient numbers and arithmetic were very different than what is used today. The timing details were as follows:

All went into the Ark on the 17th day of the second month and the rain started – February 17.

It rained for 40 days and 40 nights and the waters rose for 150 days until the Ark was 15 cubits above the mountains. This would date the event forward to the 17th day of the seventh month –July 17.

But it then stated that the Ark rested on Mount Ararat on the 17th day of the seventh month –July 17.

There was a major problem for how could the ark rest on Mount Ararat on the 17th day of the seventh month when the waters were 15 cubits above the mountains on the same day and had not the time to recede? 

The ark had come up against a barrier worse than an iceberg and it was amazing to find that this blunder had never featured prominently in previous biblical commentary. It was back to the drawing board to investigate what the story tellers had in mind when they devised the puzzling dating system in the flood saga.

Time On Earth Different Than Time At Sea

Biblical academics have established that there were two versions of the flood story standing back to back. One of those versions was in the earthly realm where it simply rained for 40 days and 40 nights. But the other version was in the cosmic realm where it stated that the windows of the heavens were thrown open and the fountains of the deep were broken open. Because the ark sailed up to the heavens and with such a precise dating schedule, one has to take cognizance of how time is measured. It introduces the astronomical terms of the solar year and the sidereal year as follows:

• Modern calendar is based on the solar year, which is measured against a fixed point on the landscape such as a sun dial and it is 365.242 days long.  

• The year is also measured against a fixed star in the heavens and it is 365.256 days long. This is known as a star or sidereal year.

Current opinion is that the Greek astronomer Hipparchus discovered the difference between solar and sidereal time and he lived in the second century BC. The sidereal year is longer than the solar year by a little over 20 minutes. In the era before mechanical clocks were invented, the period of 20 minutes would have been almost impossible to measure. However, the biblical astronomers seemingly made theoretical projections where the tiny time period of 20 minutes added up to one day in 72 years and 14 days in 1,000 years. It gave a meaning to the phrase in the second Book of Peter where “with the Lord a day was like a thousand years.” The scribes also used time on land to represent solar time and time at sea to represent sidereal time.

The biblical astronomers went further where they devised a unique formula to measure sidereal time and solar time. To achieve their objective they projected the tiny period of 20 minutes out over 100, 1,000 and 3,000 years. It was a simple formula where they applied 777 beads on an abacus to represent the days. Then they simply counted out 777 beads over and over again and found that after 47 lots had been counted, they had the total of 36,519 to represent the days in 100 years. There was a shortfall of 5.2 days so they would have added an extra five beads to complete the exercise with 36,524 days precisely. With 100 sidereal years there was a shortfall of 6.6 days and therefore they would have added on six extra leap days to achieve the target of 36,525 days precisely.

• The Comet that Sparked a Worldwide Flood ‘Myth’

• 666 Sanctified: The Beast Was Fake News

They would then have repeated the same exercise many times until the numbers to represent the periods of 1,000 and 3,000 years had been projected. There would have been a shortfall of 157 beads to achieve the target with the number of days in 3,000 solar years. They would have added on those extra 157 beads to the overall total to represent 3,000 solar years precisely. It was simply a matter of conducting the same exercise to project out 3,000 sidereal years except that the maths shows that it would have required adding an extra 197 beads to reach the precise target.  The periods involved were thus 3,000 solar years with 157 leap days and 3,000 sidereal years with 197 leap days. 

Genesis 7, 11-14: "In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights..." Augsburger Wunderzeichenbuch, (c. 1550)

Noah’s Ark Sailed Back In Time

Armed with the knowledge of the 777-day calendar and its indices it was quite obvious that the leap days for solar time were on display in the flood story. The saga outlined that the rain started on the 17th day of the second month and the waters rose for a period of 150 days. After that the waters receded for another 150 days. There were also two periods with Noah waiting for seven days plus seven days when he sent out the dove which returned the second time with an olive leaf in its beak. These collective periods added up to two distinct intervals with 157 days plus 157 days. The two intervals fitted like gloves for they equated exactly to the leap days, which had to be added on to synchronize the 777-day calendar when projected out over 3,000 plus 3,000 solar years.

The period of 197 days to represent 3,000 sidereal years was not openly discernible in the flood saga. But while drawing up a chart to show the complete dating of the flood epic from beginning to the end, a very unusual picture emerged. The mental arithmetic suggested that the timing details of the flood epic also dated back in time to the tune of sidereal time. This seemed surreal until the complete timing details of going forward in time and going back in time were mapped out as shown in the illustration.

The details may seem overwhelming to digest but approach the diagram as one would use a street map to find one’s way around a foreign city. In simple terms the route the ark took forward in accord with solar time is outlined in blue. The events began on February 17, follow the arrows and it points to two periods of 150 days plus two periods of seven days to when the flood ended on the last day of December of that same year. Thus, there were two combined periods of 157 leap days on the blue route to mirror two periods of 3,000 solar years in the heavens, when measured with the 777-day formula. That was the journey on the blue route and it was in accord with solar time.

The sidereal time route was paradoxically, back in time as shown on the yellow route. The starting day was the same on the yellow route where it began on February 17 when the rain began. Follow the arrows back in time with the 40 days and nights rain together with a seven-day waiting period, as was outlined in the Book of Genesis. That brought the dating schedule back to January 1. Then continue back in time through the previous year starting with January, February, March and April until an extra 150 days had elapsed and that was on May 30. In all it was a total of 40 + 7 + 150 = 197 days, which equated to the same period in leap day for 3,000 sidereal years. On that date of May 30 on the yellow route the ark would have been 15 cubits above the mountains.

Tracing the path back in time from May 30 to July 17, the waters would have had 47 days to recede. That was the date in the timing schedule where it stated in the flood story that the ark rested on Mount Ararat on the 17th day of the seventh month. The problem of the ark resting on Mount Ararat was resolved for the waters had those 47 days to recede. Continuing back in time from July 17 for another 150 days it brought the schedule to December 17. That made it an extra period of 197 days with 47 +150 days. Therefore, there were two periods of 197 days back in time from when the flood began on February 17 to the December 17 of the previous year. These equated to two periods of 197 leap days with sidereal time when projected out over 3,000 plus 3,000 sidereal years. This puzzle has to be studied like the moves on a chest board, so it may help to retrace the two routes again as follows:

• On the blue route follow the arrows forward in time from February 17 and note the timing in the blue boxes. Notice where the 150 days plus 150 days plus seven days plus seven days are listed for the complete period to the last day in December.

Therefore, there were two combined periods of 157 days plus 157 days on the blue route and they were in accord with solar time. The 40 days and nights of rain ran in parallel with the 150 days that the waters rose.

• On the yellow route trace the arrows initially back in time starting on February 17 and it took in the 40 days and nights rain plus seven days that Noah waited. Then the route switched on January 1 back in time through the previous year.  Follow the arrows and note the dates in the yellow boxes. The days added up to 47 days plus 150 days (197 days) to when the ark was 15 cubits above the waves on May 30. The schedule showed the ark traveling back anticlockwise in time on the yellow route and the 40 days and night ran in series with the 150 days. Follow the yellow route back in time to July 17 (seventh month) when the ark rested on Mount Ararat. The anomaly was solved for the waters had 47 days to recede to let the ark dock on the mountain. Continue on the yellow route back in time for another 150 days making it a total of 47 + 150 = 197 days to end on December 17 of the previous year.

• But now for the real demanding challenge because one has to follow the mind map of the puzzle along both the yellow and blue routes at the same time. It is an exercise that will utilize both sides of the brain.

It was the ‘double speak’ of two separate routes which confused the issue with the ark resting on Mount Ararat on July 17 (seventh month) on the yellow route whereas it would have been 15 cubits above the mountains on that date on the blue route.

Zoroastrian Wisdom

What mortal eye could look upon such a majestic display that the scribes prepared of the ark’s dual journeys and not be captivated by its breathtaking numerical logic? Who were those visionaries who could see into the future and demonstrate in a thought-provoking matrix, the difference between solar and sidereal time projected out over the period of 12,000 years? They changed modern perception of history for it is reckoned that the flood saga was rewritten between 722 and 609 BC and that was five centuries before Hipparchus.

All those souvenir hunters who long to go to Mount Ararat to look for the wooden skeleton of Noah’s ark must have been puzzled at how the vessel could dock on the mountain on the same date as when it was 15 cubits above the mountain tops. Now one knows the reason why, for it was 15 cubits above the mountains on that date on the blue route whereas the waters had receded on the yellow route allowing the ark to rest on Mount Ararat.  It was also correct to say that Shem became a father when he was 100 years old at the end of the blue route because it was two years after the flood ended on the yellow route. 

Those two periods of 157 days and two periods of 197 days mirrored four periods of 3,000 years in the heavens, which added up to 12,000 years. This forged a link to the Zoroastrian period of the long dominion of 12,000 years and it was at the very beginning of the Book of Genesis. It was a dramatic statement about how the biblical writers were influenced by Zoroastrianism and where the religious concept of good and evil originated.

The moral of the flood story was the theme of good and evil. On earth the journey was in solar time and the evil mortals on the ground perished in accord with God’s command. In contrast, the journey back in time was in accord with sidereal time of the heavens and all the good people with Noah and his family on board the ark survived to tell the tale.

Never-Before-Seen Footage from 1948 UFO Crash

It was 1948, and the Cold War was in full swing. Unbeknownst to most, another war was happening, one not between nations, but between Earth and the unknown. The skies over Russia were set to be the theatre of an otherworldly confrontation that would change the course of history.

Tales of UFO encounters may often be associated with the likes of Roswell, New Mexico, but this story takes us thousands of miles away to the frigid expanse of Russia. This narrative isn’t merely about an encounter; it’s about an incident so profound that it might just redefine your understanding of the UFO phenomena.

In the thick of a hostile atmosphere, a brave Russian pilot was engaged in a fierce dogfight with an unidentified flying object. Unlike a usual encounter, the Soviet pilot was under explicit orders from the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Zagarov, to confront and engage with the mysterious object. The mid-air battle was fierce, intense, and filled with a sense of dread. The pilot struggled to combat the UFO’s powerful rays of light that emanated from it, blinding him.

• UFO Sighting in Trowbridge: Spectacular Display of Swirling

The valiant pilot, in his final attempt to protect his homeland, launched a missile. Miraculously, it succeeded in bringing the object down. Unlike the Roswell incident, the events of 1948 remained clandestine, never making headlines, but rather, it unfolded in a secret airbase in Russia.

The retrieval teams, ecstatic with the discovery of their first alien spacecraft, rushed to secure the debris. Little did they know that this marked the start of Russia’s secret UFO program. The question hung heavy in the air – what technology did the aliens use? The speculations ranged from particle beam weapons to anti-gravity envelopes that protected the craft.

The aftermath of the 1948 UFO crash paved the way for an even more mystifying place than America’s Roswell and Area 51. This site was Kapustin Yar, a covert facility filled with the Soviet Union’s top researchers, scientists, and military specialists. It was here that the recovered alien technology was painstakingly reverse-engineered, leading to significant strides in Cold War technology.

The secretive nature of Kapustin Yar led to many rumors, among which were stories of subterranean UFO research centers and storage points for crashed UFOs. This secrecy wasn’t a new phenomenon; the Soviet skies have been home to numerous well-documented and eerie encounters with UFOs, dating back even before the modern Russian state existed.

Perhaps the most intriguing of these past sightings was the Robozero incident of 1663, where an enormous fiery disc was seen hovering over a northern Russian lake. Eyewitnesses were filled with dread as the disc lingered for over an hour, scalding fishermen and causing fish to fling themselves out of the water.

There were more mysterious sightings reported across the vast Russian landscape, including a pillar of light over Moscow in 1892, and the most massive fireball of all time that devastated the Siberian Forest of Tunguska in 1908.

These events remain wrapped in mystery and intrigue. Though they seem like stories out of a science fiction novel, they are a part of Russia’s intricate history with the unknown. The Russian Roswell stands testament to mankind’s enduring quest to seek out answers about life beyond Earth, a journey fraught with danger, intrigue, and an insatiable curiosity.

 UFOS: The Battle for Transparency

In the year since the inception of the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (Aero), UFO sightings and whistleblower testimonies have been emerging, pushing the topic of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) firmly into the limelight. But the road to disclosure is mired with controversy, skepticism, and a looming question: are we genuinely headed towards a new era of transparency?

The Aero, led by Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, has been heavily criticized for its lack of open dialogue and seemingly dismissive stance towards key witnesses and whistleblowers. Despite its role to investigate, analyze and report on UAP occurrences, it appears Aero is yet to take full advantage of the troves of firsthand accounts and direct testimonies at its disposal.

One glaring example is the alleged non-communication between Aero and David Fravor, a retired US Navy pilot and the primary witness to the infamous 2004 Nimitz incident. This incident, involving a UAP sighting by multiple Navy personnel, is arguably one of the most credible and well-documented UFO encounters. Yet, Aero appears to have made no attempt to speak with Fravor, despite him being a crucial witness to this unexplained event.

• Officials and lawmakers push for more government transparency …

Additionally, former intelligence analyst David Grush, who testified before Congress on UAP-related matters, stated that he fears for his life after blowing the whistle on Aero’s mishandling of UFO-related information. Following this testimony, Kirkpatrick released a letter expressing disappointment over the proceedings, a move that has drawn widespread criticism. This has led to a significant disconnect between the UFO community and Aero, creating an atmosphere of mistrust.

Critics argue that Kirkpatrick’s letter seeks to discredit Grush and downplays the severity of the allegations raised. Yet, there’s a paradox: Aero’s proclaimed mission is to execute a strategy of investigation and oversight, but it seems to show limited interest in engaging with individuals who might have relevant information. Ryan Graves, another military pilot and a proponent of safe aerospace practices, is another key figure who Aero seems to have disregarded.

While Aero maintains that it has found no credible evidence to support allegations of non-human technology or extraterrestrial activities, the continuous emergence of whistleblowers and firsthand testimonies tells a different story. The tug-of-war between the quest for transparency and the shroud of skepticism highlights the complexities that surround the UAP discourse.

VIDEO:

• Whistleblower’s Bombshell Allegations Against UFO Office Director!

In conclusion, for Aero to execute its mission effectively, it must prioritize establishing open communication channels with key witnesses, whistleblowers, and other members of the UAP community. Moreover, Aero’s commitment to follow data wherever it leads should be reflected in a genuine openness to all potential sources of information. Only then will the battle for transparency begin to swing in favor of those who yearn for answers about the unknown.

As we continue to grapple with the mystery of UAP, we must remember that, at its core, this is a journey of discovery, a quest for understanding, and an exploration into the very boundaries of human knowledge and potential. The journey ahead may be long and arduous, but the pursuit of truth remains a noble endeavor, one that should always drive our efforts and our inquiry.

Black UFO That Stopped And Changes Course Durning Live Stream On July 2, 2023

In this footage we can see this object enter our view from the left hand side of the screen on a downwards trajectory only to stop and return in the direction it came from.
P&K SpaceImaging stated the following:

"The object enters and hangs around very slowly. It Actually switches speeds numerous times throughout the video. Eventually, it does a 180 Degree turn and exits from the same way it came from. All of this was done in less than a half a degree of visibility. A Bug would be completely out of focus and would not stay in the same place when we adjust the telescope. This one truly has us baffled. As much as this would be our "White Buffalo" UFO moment, we have to keep anything that is possible as a possibility until we can confirm that anything known that it can be is proven to be impossible. As of now though... It is a fascinating UFO/UAP"

P&K SpaceImaging Mission is as follows

" We look at the moon and space to try and gather proof scientifically of possible alien life. I would ask that you mention that we are not saying that this is aliens. We are simply posting something weird and at this time are doing our due diligence in investigating all possibilities of what it could be. We do this live as much as possible and we definitely need more eyes watching when we do so it would be great if people would subscribe. So many times we have had hundreds of people watching and ONE person sees something that turns out to be a great catch, so the more eyes the better."

Clip Two: This was sighted over Medellin, Colombia on January 7, 2023 and the witness stated the following: "Taken from an 11th story balcony on my iPhone in Medellin Colombia just before sunset. The building is called El Vergel, and this direction is towards Poblado so it was somewhere over there. The weird noises are from me and my idiot buddy Michael (to be clear, we are both idiots, not that he is an idiot lol)! No audible sounds from it.
The object was hovering and moving very slowly for a while, maybe 10 minutes. Only thought to record at the end. It was definitely moving of its own volition and slowly as the wind was going the other way. It was very slow and hard to tell height or size from the distance, but it was way below the clouds. We assumed it was a drone or weather balloon or something."

Nematode resurrected from Siberian permafrost lay dormant for 46,000 years

By Sascha Pare

The ancient nematode has lain dormant in a fossilized squirrel burrow since the late Pleistocene, revealing that these worms can survive for tens of thousands of years longer than thought.

A microscopic worm survived in the Siberian permafrost for a record-breaking 46,000 years, scientists have discovered — tens of thousands of years longer than previously resurrected worms.

The ancient roundworm, or nematode, belongs to the newly described species Panagrolaimus kolymaensis. Researchers discovered it nestled inside a fossilized squirrel burrow that was extracted from permafrost near the Kolyma River, in the northeastern Arctic, in 2002. Scientists resuscitated the frozen nematode in 2018, but its age and species remained unclear.

Now, a study published Thursday (July 27) in the journal PLOS Genetics may have found answers to these questions. "Survival in extreme environments for prolonged periods is a challenge that only a few organisms are capable of," researchers wrote in the study. "Here, we show that a soil nematode Panagrolaimus kolymaensis suspended life for 46,000 years in the Siberian permafrost."

Organisms such as nematodes and tardigrades can enter a dormant state — a metabolic process known as "cryptobiosis" — in response to being frozen or extremely dehydrated, intermediary states known as cryobiosis and anhydrobiosis, respectively. In both cases, the critters reduce their oxygen consumption and the amount of heat produced by metabolic processes to undetectable levels.

Related: 'Prehistoric' mummified bear discovered in Siberian permafrost isn't what we thought 

The newly described nematode entered cryptobiosis in the late Pleistocene (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago), an epoch that included that last ice age. The permafrost that imprisoned the tiny creature had not thawed since then, meaning this is the longest recorded cryptobiosis in nematodes — by tens of thousands of years — according to the study. Until now, the Antarctic nematode species Plectus murrayi and a Tylenchus polyhypnus specimen held this record; the former was frozen in moss for 25.5 years and the latter was desiccated in a herbarium for 39 years.

The researchers analyzed the newly described nematode's genes and compared them to those of Caenorhabditis elegans roundworms, which were the first multicellular organisms to have their entire genome sequenced. In the absence of established genetic methods to study the recently thawed worm, C. elegans provided a well-studied model organism for comparison. The analysis revealed several shared genes linked to cryptobiosis.

To find out exactly how nematodes can survive for such long periods, the researchers got a new group of P. kolymaensis and C. elegans worms and mildly desiccated them in the lab. As the worms entered anhydrobiosis, the team observed a spike in the production of a sugar called trehalose, which they think could help protect the nematodes' cell membranes from dehydration. They then froze the worms at minus 112 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 80 degrees Celsius) and found that desiccation improved the survival rates of both species. Worms that were frozen at this temperature without being dehydrated beforehand died instantly, according to the study.

Equipped with molecular pathways to cope with Arctic conditions, nematodes have evolved to survive in these hibernating states for many thousands of years, the researchers concluded. "Our findings indicate that by adapting to survive [in a] cryptobiotic state for short time frames in environments like permafrost, some nematode species gained the potential for individual worms to remain in the state for geological timeframes," they wrote in the study.

This means that extinct nematode species could be revived if they escape from the permafrost, the researchers noted. "Drastic changes" to the environment in which they lay dormant, including fluctuations in temperature and natural radioactivity, can wake ancient nematodes from their deep slumber, they added. 

The nematode was able to survive in the permafrost for so long by entering a state of suspended animation called cryptobiosis

Most Recent Mars Discoveries From NASA Rover, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: July 30, 2023

Location of discovery: Mars 

Source photo: 

• http://gigapan.com/gigapans/232878

I found some unusual items in a Mars photo. There was a hollow stone, but the inside looks like it's been cut and shaped to make a unique and spacious interior for something that once lived within it. 

 

I also found a cut out doorway, which reveals a whitish freshly cut out area which is 100% proof that something is currently living on Mars. 

 

I also found a huge claw, which measures about half a meter and looks like it once belonged to some huge alien creature and then got petrified (turned to stone) from the minerals in the Mars soil and through millions of years. 

 

Strongly enough I found a handle sticking up. The handle has two ends that are curved and a large opening for a hand to grab onto. It's about 8 inches across and would easily fit in a human hand. 

 

These objects are significant because they help us think about and explore the possibilities of alien life in our universe. So many mysteries out there, so few answers.
