When a person says UFO, most people mistakenly think of a craft big enough to carry a person. But most UFOs are not big enough, wide enough to carry an occupant. Many are controlled by an alien AI that is alive and aware. The AI craft like orbs, rods, ect. Maybe the AI craft reports its data back to its home world far away, to a world or worlds that may be inhabited by many alien species or even a pure AI planet or planets. This seems to be such a craft. Its incredible speed, its long cigar shape and its smaller size all indicate it's an alien drone recording a human ritual on a beach. It's not gold or diamonds aliens want, the real value to them is knowledge.

UFO Fleet Takes Flight from Popocatepetl Volcano

In an era where our screens are saturated with all kinds of wonders and curiosities, it takes something truly mesmerizing to capture our collective imagination. On the evening of August 24, 2023, something extraordinary unfolded over Mexico’s Popocatepetl Volcano. This spectacle couldn’t have been planned any better if it were a Hollywood blockbuster. A webcam, vigilantly positioned to monitor this legendary “UFO hotspot,” caught about 20 unidentified flying objects leaving the volcano and shooting into the night sky. The 90-second video has since erupted across social media, becoming a virtual bonfire around which UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike have gathered to debate its implications.

Why Popocatepetl?

Popocatepetl, affectionately nicknamed ‘Popo,’ isn’t just a rumbling mountain of molten rock; it’s also a magnet for UFO stories. This iconic volcano has seen its share of mysterious lights and flying objects over the years. Many UFO aficionados argue that ‘Popo’ serves as some sort of intergalactic gas station or even a hidden base for extraterrestrial crafts. Though these theories are tantalizing, they remain fodder for speculation. What is undeniable, however, is that the recent footage has thrust Popocatepetl back into the spotlight, fanning the flames of its otherworldly reputation.

UFOs and Volcanoes: An Unlikely Pair?

Why would UFOs be attracted to volcanoes, of all places? For one, the theory goes, volcanoes are energy-rich environments. Could it be that these crafts are somehow ‘refueling’ from the Earth’s internal energy? Others suggest that subterranean volcanic chambers could serve as clandestine UFO bases, shielded from prying human eyes. Of course, skeptics argue that the lights are simply natural phenomena—gases, birds, or even drones

A Viral Phenomenon

The video of about 20 UFOs captured that evening is not just a collection of pixels and frames; it has become a conversation starter, transcending borders and languages. Even if one discounts the possibility of alien involvement, the footage serves as a remarkable testament to the enduring human fascination with the unknown. It’s a 90-second escape from the mundane, a brief foray into the incredible.

The Mystery Continues

While scientists, ufologists, and armchair experts dissect the video frame by frame, for most of us, the true allure lies in the enduring mystery it presents. Each new sighting over Popocatepetl, be it explainable or not, adds another brushstroke to the canvas of human curiosity. And as the sun sets over the Mexican horizon and the first stars appear, one can’t help but look up and wonder—what else is out there?

Whether you’re a believer or skeptic, the enigma of Popocatepetl’s recent UFO event reminds us all of the vast, unexplored frontiers that lie just beyond our reach. And in those quiet moments, staring up at the sky, it’s hard not to feel a sense of wonder, as we ponder what other mysteries the universe may hold.

The ‘Alien Invaders’ Within Us: Unmasking the Hidden Toxins in Our Bodies

Hello, fellow UFO enthusiasts and believers! While our site typically explores the fascinating world of unidentified flying objects and the cosmic unknowns, today, we’re bringing you a different kind of mystery—a mystery that lives within us.

Just as our skies are filled with phenomena that elude easy explanation, our bodies are home to ‘alien invaders’ in the form of environmental toxins and heavy metals. Could these substances be as mysterious as the UFOs we’re all so passionate about?

What Are These ‘Alien Invaders’?

Heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are found in the environment around us—sometimes as a result of human activities such as industrial processes, pollution, and improper waste disposal. Just as UFOs are thought to affect the environment in inexplicable ways, these heavy metals can wreak havoc on our bodies in myriad forms—compromising our immune system, nervous system, and even our mental well-being.

Where Do They Come From?

Much like the controversial origin of UFOs, the sources of these heavy metals are both natural and man-made. They can be found in:

• Industrial Emissions: Factories and power plants
• Agricultural Runoff: Pesticides and fertilizers
• Electronic Waste: Old gadgets and devices
• Contaminated Water: Old pipes and plumbing
• Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Beware of what you apply!

Fighting Off the Invasion: Clean Slate

While we don’t yet have a verified method for fending off UFOs, we can certainly defend ourselves against these ‘alien invaders’ in our bodies. This is where Clean Slate comes in. It’s a unique formula designed to assist the body’s natural ability to remove environmental toxins and heavy metals. The product claims to offer:

• Passive Cleansing
• Reduced Inflammation
• Increased Nutrient Absorption
• Click here to learn more about Clean Slate and take a FREE QUIZ to see how intoxicated your body might be.

Tips for Reducing Exposure

Apart from using products like Clean Slate, here are some general tips to reduce your exposure to these ‘alien substances’:

1. Regular Handwashing
2. Filter Drinking Water
3. Choose Organic Foods
4. Be Cautious with Fish Consumption
5. Properly Handle Electronics
6. Avoid Cosmetics with Heavy Metals
7. Indoor Air Quality

Our passion for the unknown often leads us skyward, searching for answers among the stars. But sometimes, the mysteries we should solve are much closer to home. Just as we take measures to document and understand the unidentified objects in our skies, let’s not ignore the unidentified toxins that might reside within us.

So why not take a short break from sky-gazing and give some attention to your terrestrial vessel? After all, you’ll need to be in top form if you’re planning to make first contact anytime soon!

Astronomers using a powerful telescope in Chile have peered into blemishes on Neptune, and called it a first for ground-based astronomy.

Since NASA’s Voyager 2 flew past Neptune in 1989, astronomers have pondered the temporary dark spots that appear in its atmosphere. Three decades after that historic rendezvous with the Solar System’s outermost planet, the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope saw a dark spot wider in size than Earth’s Atlantic Ocean. This inspired the team behind new research to take a closer look at Neptune with newer technology.

“Since the first discovery of a dark spot, I’ve always wondered what these short-lived and elusive dark features are,” said Patrick Irwin, lead investigator of the new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy. Irwin shared his thoughts in an announcement from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), which manages the powerful telescope that peered at Neptune from about 3 billion miles away.

According to ESO, this is the first time a ground-based telescope has observed a dark spot in Neptune’s atmosphere.

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT NEPTUNE

Large spots on giant gas planets are common and temporary. Even Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, for example, has shrunken down in recent years and may possibly disappear. These regions are clues about how a planet works, much like storms and aerosols on Earth are symptoms of climate change.

ESO’s Very Large Telescope sits atop Cerro Paranal in the Chilean highlands. From this perch, an instrument onboard the telescope collected the sunlight that reflected off Neptune’s clouds. The instrument, called the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE), provided a 3D look at a Neptunian spot in “more detail than was possible before,” according to ESO officials.

From this data, astronomers gauged the height at which the spot sits in Neptune’s atmosphere. They also gained clues about why this spot appeared dark, thanks to MUSE’s ability to unpack the chemical composition of celestial objects.

In their investigations of one spot, they found another. “In the process we discovered a rare deep bright cloud type that had never been identified before, even from space,” study co-author Michael Wong shared in the ESO announcement.

The bright spot near the larger main spot indicates that Neptune’s atmosphere is dynamic. The dark spot is probably the result of air particles collected in a layer below what’s visible, where “ices and hazes mix in Neptune’s atmosphere,” ESO officials said. The bright spot, by contrast, is “rare” and represents “a completely new type of feature.”

The new work highlights the prowess of VLT, and shows that ground-based telescopes can continue the work initiated by their counterparts in space.

Wong jokingly shared that VLT’s capabilities could put him out of work as a Hubble observer.

[Video] Ex-US Army Officer Revealed That He Saw A Child-Size Alien After Roswell Crash

The Roswell incident is one of the most popular unsolved mysteries in the world. Dozens of US military officers claimed that the crash involved the extraterrestrial craft with aliens, while skeptics tried hard to deny it. Besides, the US government covered the whole incident calling it a military program (Project Mogul).

Moreover, there are abundant theories that justify the extraterrestrial’s link to the crash that happened in New Mexico in July 1947.

A day after the legendary crash at a ranch near Roswell, the 509th Bomb Group issued a press release and revealed the news of the crashed UFO to the world. 1st Lt. Walter Haut, the public information officer at the 509th Bomb Group based in Roswell, was the first person who disclosed the incredible information to the press.

Unfortunately, a new press release was issued later, that certainly was to change the facts of the first one, and now the crashed UFO turned into crashed weather balloon. It made Haut a figure of public ridicule.

Lt. Walter Haut was the close friend of Colonel William Blanchard who is regarded as the key player behind the scenes in the recovery of the Roswell disk. Haut swore to Col. Blanchard that he would keep the Roswell secrecy until his last breath. But in 2002, he came up with an idea to slightly reveal what he knew about the Roswell incident without breaking his words.

A video of Lt. Haut has recently been released. It was recorded in 2000, and in the video, he claimed to have seen a body of a “beat-up alien” the “size of a 10-year-old child” after the Roswell UFO crash. The video was first published by UFO researcher Anthony Bragalia, and it was recorded by Haut’s friends Dennis Bathaser and Wendy Connors.

Julie Shuster, Haut’s daughter was worried that the secrets of Roswell would be left behind as the world started losing the first-hand witnesses of the case such as Major Jesse Marcel, the first person who arrived at the crash site. Marcel might have left a cryptic journal behind on the Roswell subject, but Haut was adamant to leave the clear information behind.

Shuster, along with UFO researcher Don Schmitt persuaded her father to have a written document on his exclusive information on Roswell and save it for the future. Haut agreed and signed an affidavit, stating that he had seen a craft from outer space.

“It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth,” he said.

After his death in 2005, the affidavit was first published in a book entitled “Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government’s Biggest Cover-Up” (2007), authored by Thomas Carey and Schmitt.

In the affidavit, Haut revealed that there were two crash sites at Roswell, and he witnessed the first object that crashed in 1947. Shuster said that her father did see the bodies, and the craft was about 25 feet in diameter.

Carey and Schmitt became Haut’s friends, who later revealed to them the biggest secret. Carey described that the ship was of the size of a Volkswagen Beetle and was of an egg’s shape. To verify former army press officer claims, Carey and Schmitt found other witnesses with similar information.

Back to Haut’s confessional video, Bragalia said that a Digital Voice Stress Analysis (DVSA) expert looked at Haut’s testimony and concluded that he was telling the truth. Additionally, he said that the government could have been holding the aliens’ bodies in a secured locations “with access only by those with a need to know.”

James Webb-ruimtetelescoop maakt beelden van de Ringnevel: verklaren die eindelijk de vorm van de nevel?

De ruimtetelescoop James Webb heeft adembenemende nieuwe beelden gemaakt van de iconische Ringnevel, een van de bekendste planetaire nevels. Wetenschappers, waaronder ook onderzoekers van de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België, maakten de beelden openbaar. De beelden gemaakt door de James Webb onthullen nieuwe specifieke kenmerken van de Ringvelen. Een daarvan zou wel eens kunnen verklaren waaraan de bekende nevel zijn vorm dankt.

Martijn Peters 

Bron: Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België

De Ringnevel ligt ongeveer 2200 lichtjaar van de aarde verwijderd en is een bekend object in het sterrenbeeld Lier. Je kan hem de hele zomer waarnemen met een verrekijker bij een donkere nachthemel op het noordelijk halfrond en een groot deel van het zuidelijk halfrond. Met een kleine telescoop kun je al de karakteristieke donutachtige structuur van gloeiend gas zien waar de Ringnevel zijn naam aan te danken heeft. Het is een planetaire nevel, het overblijfsel van een stervende ster die aan het einde van zijn leven een groot deel van zijn massa uitstoot.

De opvallende structuur en de levendige kleuren van de Ringnevel spreken al lang tot de verbeelding van de mens. Dankzij de James Webb ruimtetelescoop kunnen we nu ook de bekende nevel op een nieuwe manier zien. De ruimtetelescoop maakte de beelden met zijn NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) en MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). Ze dienen niet enkel om de Ringnevel te bewonderen maar natuurlijk ook om de complexe processen die de nevel hebben gevormd te bestuderen en te begrijpen. Zo tonen de nieuwe beelden niet alleen details van de uitdijende schil van de nevel, maar ook van het binnenste gebied dat rond de witte dwerg ligt.

Zo zagen wetenschappers dat de “ring” van de nevel uit maar liefst 20.000 afzonderlijke bubbels van waterstof bestaat, elk zo massief als onze planeet. Daarnaast nam men ook zogenaamde polycyclische aromatische koolwaterstoffen (PAK’s) waar, bouwmaterialen die nodig zijn voor de ontwikkeling van ‘leven’. Verwonderlijk, want de onderzoekers hadden niet verwacht dat ze die zouden aantreffen in de Ringnevel.

Op de Webb-beelden zijn ook merkwaardige “spaken” buiten de ring te zien die direct van de centrale ster weg wijzen. Deze spaken zijn prominent aanwezig in het infrarood, maar waren amper zichtbaar op de beelden van de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop. De onderzoekers denken dat deze zijn ontstaan doordat bepaalde moleculen zich kunnen vormen in de schaduwen van de ring. Daar zijn ze afgeschermd voor de directe, intense straling van de hete centrale ster.

Tot slot ontdekkten de onderzoekers in de zwakke halo buiten de ring tien concentrische bogen. Ze denken dat deze bogen wijzen op de aanwezigheid van een begeleidende ster in het systeem. Die ster zou ongeveer net zo ver van de centrale ster afstaat als Pluto van onze zon en verantwoordelijk zijn voor de Ringnevel zijn bekende elliptische vorm (die anders misschien bolvormig zou zijn geweest).

The Unsolved Enigma of Scoutmaster Sonny DesVergers: A Close Encounter of the Third Kind in 1952

It’s a tale that could be ripped straight from the pages of a science fiction novel: A scoutmaster, an illuminated flying saucer, and a cover-up that stretches over decades. Yet, what happened on the night of August 19, 1952, in West Palm Beach, Florida, to Scoutmaster Sonny DesVergers and his troop is far from fiction. It’s a real-life mystery that has puzzled UFOlogists, skeptics, and investigators for over 70 years. And it all began with a drive home that took an unexpected turn.

The Fateful Night

Chuck Stevens was just 12 years old when he became an eyewitness to an event that would shape UFO history. Scoutmaster DesVergers was driving Stevens and his fellow scouts home from their weekly meeting when a strange light appeared in the sky over a deserted farmland. With curiosity piqued, DesVergers pulled over and told the boys to wait in the car as he investigated what he initially thought might be a plane crash.

With a promise to be back in 15 minutes, DesVergers vanished into the woods. Unbeknownst to the young scouts, their leader would emerge later with a story that would sound more like a Hollywood script than reality.

• The Pilot Who Chased a UFO... and died - Thomas Mantell

The Encounter

When DesVergers reappeared, he was a changed man. His uniform was charred, his face and arms showed signs of burns, but the unidentified flying object that had allegedly attacked him was nowhere in sight. The only tangible proof, apart from his physical injuries, were broken branches and wilted vegetation, which seemed to have undergone intense heat.

The Aftermath: Official Reports and Personal Tragedy

A deputy sheriff was called to the scene and took note of DesVergers’ burnt appearance, but skepticism loomed large. Chuck Stevens remembers the scene vividly, recalling the evidence he saw that night: trees with broken limbs, sap oozing out of them, and the soil—significantly warmer than the surrounding earth—indicating some form of intense heat.

VIDEO:

• Scoutmaster Sonny DesVergers got burned by a UFO, encounter remembered by eyewitness Chuck Stevens

Yet, instead of leading to an official investigation, the incident led to a personal downfall for DesVergers. He was fired from his job, ostracized from the community, and labeled a liar. He vanished from public life, his whereabouts unknown to this day.

The Lingering Questions

The government’s stance on the case has always been enigmatic. Once-secret Blue Book files (a series of studies on UFOs by the U.S. Air Force) reveal that the Air Force did, in fact, collect physical evidence from the site. Yet, no conclusions have been publicly drawn. Why isn’t this case as famous as Roswell? Is it because DesVergers was deemed unreliable?

Further supporting evidence comes from Lyman Bradford, another witness who was a seven-year-old at the time. His father, who worked at a local Air Force base, even managed to capture photos of a similar unidentified object. These photographs, however, were confiscated and have never been returned, adding another layer of mystery to an already complex case.

What Happened to the Evidence?

The most puzzling aspect of the entire event remains the lack of definitive evidence. While Blue Book files acknowledge the collection of physical samples, including soil and vegetation, their current whereabouts are unknown. Similarly, the film captured by Lyman Bradford’s father remains missing, leading many to speculate that the government may be holding more than what they have publicly disclosed.

The Legacy of the Scoutmaster Incident

The Scoutmaster UFO case remains an open chapter in the book of unexplained phenomena. Witnesses like Chuck Stevens and Lyman Bradford continue to recount their experiences, keeping the story alive, if only in whispers and internet forums.

While DesVergers himself may have vanished, the enigma of what happened on that humid August night in 1952 continues to baffle, intrigue, and beg the question: When it comes to UFOs, how much do we really know, and how much is carefully kept from public view?

In the end, the story of Sonny DesVergers serves as a grim testament to the high cost of encountering the unknown. It’s a tale that remains unfinished, with more questions than answers, and a legacy that seems destined to forever float in the realm of the unexplained.

Man Worked For Pentagon Confessed On Camera: ‘We Have Downed UFOs Of Alien Origin’

The US government has passed legislation protecting government whistleblowers, including those who may have information on UFOs. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), headed by Director Sean M. Kirkpatrick, is responsible for fielding these whistleblower reports. Kirkpatrick is set to answer questions during a hearing with the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, and the public is closely watching to see how he responds. While some commentators praise Kirkpatrick’s performance, others criticize it.

There is speculation that whistleblowers have gathered information on legacy UFO government programs, but it remains to be seen if their testimony will successfully uncover these programs, causing UFO disclosure or making it public. Dr. Colm Kelleher, a former manager of a secret Pentagon UFO program and author of Skinwalkers at the Pentagon, has made claims regarding downed UFO craft that could provide important information to AARO and others.

There is no doubt in the credibility of Dr. Kelleher. He is a biochemist with a background in cell and molecular biology. He has worked in various research institutions and works at the National Institute of Discovery Science, where he applies forensic science techniques to investigate scientific anomalies.

Dr. Kelleher told Newstalk Breakfast that he stumbled upon a unique job advertisement in a scientific magazine seeking scientists interested in studying the origin and research of consciousness of the universe. He accepted the position and led a team of 50 people investigating UFOs in the US and Brazil. The program, which was top secret and funded by the Defence Intelligence Agency for $22 million, resulted in 104 technical reports on UFOs. The program only became public when the New York Times broke an article about it in 2017.

Dr. Kelleher stated that they had no interest in finding extraterrestrial life. Instead, they focused on documenting the UAP’s behavior and technology using photography and video. He explains what they found: “The technology these objects displayed: they outclassed the best F18 fighters in our arsenal.”

“They outperformed everything we had, so it was pretty obvious these were not United States technology, Chinese technology, or Russian technology. So we did know that they were from somewhere else. But in terms of little green men or aliens, we have no idea of who or why these objects are in United States airspace.”

In the latest Weaponized podcast episode with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, Dr. Kelleher confidently said that the UFOs are real. He admitted that they have downed UFOs from unknown origins and that they have been trying to reverse engineer and exploit those technologies in order to understand their physics.

In the interview, Corbell asked Dr. Kelleher if the UFOs are real, and he immediately said “Yes.” He continued: “UFOs are technologically sophisticated. They have performance characteristics that are, you know, the five observables are well-documented. But they also have a very profound effect on some people, or they have superficial effects on other people, but they do have effects on people. So going forward is to combine both of those, is to study UFO performance, and, you know, the hope is that out of UFO performance can come theoretical physics which will eventually translate into engineering.”

Dr. Kelleher discusses the possibility that UFOs are interacting with planet Earth because of the presence of humans. He suggests that it is unlikely that UFOs are only focusing on non-human life forms such as marsupials or trees, and that they are more likely to be interested in interacting with humans, who are the dominant species on the planet. This leads to the hypothesis that humanity itself is the focus of the interaction between these unknown entities that we call UFOs, as other intelligent beings are believed to be operating these objects.

• Steven Spielberg Called himself UFOlogist & Said 2009 James Fox UFO Documentary Was ‘Compelling’
• Jacques Vallee On Footage Of UFO Landing At Holloman AFB: Occupant Carried Vertical Staff With Spiral Antenna

He then discusses the vast number of UFO sightings globally, which implies that interactions with humans are important and produce something that the UFOs need or are interested in. He argues that it is unlikely that the hundreds of thousands or even millions of sightings that have occurred over the last 77 years since 1945 are random events that are passing through and just being in the right place at the right time. Instead, Dr. Kelleher suggests there is more to it than that, as the sheer number of sightings implies that interactions with humans are somehow important and produce something that the UFOs need or are interested in.

Dr. Kelleher also notes that the incidents of the Skinwalker Ranch are emblematic of this whole thing, as they demonstrate how human perception can be altered during UFO interactions, which may affect human consciousness.

He shares the incident with six individuals at Skinwalker Ranch, who all saw completely different things through their night vision binoculars during a UFO sighting. This incident is used as a metaphor to suggest that human perception is altered in many cases as a result of or during UFO interactions. He proposes that maybe human perception as it pertains to human consciousness is one of the objectives where the UFO phenomenon somehow interacts with human consciousness for a purpose, though he admits that they do not know what that purpose is.

From Mystery Wire, In an exclusive interview with Dr. Colm Kelleher: (Source)

Well, I was hired in November of 2008. The AAWSAP program ran from September 2008 to late 2010. So one of the first tasks that I had coming on board was to put together a team of UFO focused investigators as quickly as possible. So I was thinking back on this and between November 2008, and probably April 2009, I personally conducted about 300 telephone interviews in an attempt to recruit different people for different positions at AAWSAP. In addition, I did at least 100, face to face interviews in my office in that period of time. So we’re talking about a pretty rapid clip in terms of bringing forth a lot of people into the office, sometimes there were one or two people outside.

But our focus was in hiring a team of PhD level scientists, that would include physics and biology, master’s level scientists, technicians, we also looked for database analysts, and military intelligence personnel who had a long history investigative background. And of course, we also were looking for a lot of security officers, because security was a big issue. Interestingly, one of our program managers was a 20 year veteran of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, also known as AFOSI. And this guy was very, very seasoned investigator. And he helped us a lot in what turned out to be attempted formation of a relationship with AFOSI, which is discussed in the book. But all of this hiring and recruitment occurred within a four or five month period.

I think by the end of May of 2009, we had a team of about 50 people. And George, when you consider that this was a 24 month contract, so not only were we putting together the security infrastructure of this of this large organization, and that included facility security clearances, getting everything up to a level that was sufficient for inspections, but hiring these people, training all of these different people. And then we executed multiple programs side by side. And all of this happened in a 24 month period. So we were on a pretty rapid clip. And I would say, I’ve worked with government organizations in the past, NASA and DoD in other capacities, and putting that kind of level of activity together in a 24 month period, I think was pretty extraordinary. And, obviously, Dr. Lacatski, his input in Washington, DC, and greasing the wheels to make all of this happen, putting together a pretty large organization that was focused only on UFO investigations. That was the key.

Famous 19-Sec UFO Footage Could Be Greatest Leak: CGI Experts Say It Is Real Deal

The existence of UFOs has been confirmed by hundreds of government and military professionals. There should be authentic photographs and films of them that have been mixed in among the counterfeits. There is valid photographic evidence, but there are also instances of UFO evidence being confiscated from civilians and military people. However, there is old footage of a UFO flying near an airplane which has always been an element of the heated debate among UFO enthusiasts.

The 19-second footage, which is often claimed to be a clip of the lengthy video, shows a round, saucer-shaped object (like in McMinnville UFO photographs) hovering near an airplane and then moving forward, maneuvering below the aircraft wing, and flying upward. It is said to be a screen recording of the actual video. There are many theories on the origin of the video. It was published on the Internet several times in the late 2000s, which makes it difficult to find out its original date.

The earliest source of the video publication is YouTube. It was uploaded by a user “frossani” on March 6, 2008, with the caption “UFO from plane.” The user described that the UFO was captured from the window of a Blue Panorama flight from Rome to Paris, on April 29, 2006. But there are other sources saying it was shot in the 1990s with the description: “Clear full evidence of military tested saucer reproductions over U.S skies around Nevada Desert. This footage is a late 90s recording, very short as the full video is now offline altogether.”

These two versions of the description of the same video make it really confusing for experts to understand the true nature of the video. But there is more to the story. A Reddit user “usandholt” did a little research and contacted frossani. He asked the YouTube user about the video and found he/she is not the owner of the video. Below is the reply of frossani received by usandholt: (Source)

“It was quite a surprise to discover all this hype and interest about a video I had almost forgotten. I am the owner of the YouTube Channel, but not the author of the footage. I had an interest in visual effects as a hobbyist and I used to collect some inspiring videos and fantasize on what techniques would allow to recreate them. The footage of your interest was copied from a Zip Drive belonging to a university friend of mine who knew about my hobby. We are not in touch any longer and I don’t have further information about the origin of the video (I am not a UFO passionate, to me it was simply a probably-fake downloaded from the internet or some early-2000s CD-ROM). The only detail that could be useful for your research is that my friend’s father’s work was based in Aviano, in northern Italy. By the way, when I put the video on YouTube I didn’t edit it in any way; the only intervention was on the description, in which I reported the details of a Blue Panorama flight from Rome to Paris which had brought me to France sometime before (it was then dismissed a few years later, to my great deception). I am sorry I’m probably not giving you relevant information for your research.”

This exact UFO clip was used in the “60 Minutes documentary on New Zealand (and worldwide) UFO sightings,” marked as a simulation. It was produced with the assistance of Suzanne Hansen, a director of UFOCUS NZ Research Network. Was it really a simulation or an actual video used in the documentary? This possibility can be considered as the actual 8-second film of UFO landing at Holloman AFB used in 1974 Documentary,  according to UFO researcher and author Grant Cameron. Journalist Chris Sharp also gives credence to this story..

Video Analysis

Has the video been debunked? Many people who claimed to be working in the aviation field found the video too good to be real. However, they failed to provide a valid explanation for the video to be fake. It is obvious many would think this could be computer-generated, but some CGI experts say that it requires a great setup to create such effects. Additionally, many find a discrepancy in the audio of the clip, perhaps it was edited.

Reddit user “VCAmaster” explains that the video is likely a second-generation recording of a video playback on another screen, so he finds the main possibilities: 1. The audio is mostly from the camera inside the cockpit, played back on a device, and recorded onto the secondary camera (2nd generation). 2. The audio is mostly from the camera inside the cockpit, played back on a device, combined with the additional background noise of whatever is going on around the person filming the video playback secondhand. 3. The audio is directly from inside the cockpit, 1st generation video. (Source)

This video clip has been studied very carefully by military aviation experts (like Chris Lehto), and CGI experts. Lehto said that the aircraft is not a fighter jet, claiming to be an airliner. However, after closely examining, many agree that it could be the USAF T-43A plane.

It is always good to consider another possibility of the UFO origin. One Reddit user writes: “One possibility is that it is a military or scientific 737 testing the flight of frisbee-shaped objects via tow, as the disc is flying with an angle of attack to the oncoming air, rather than flat. Imagine putting a disc out on a tow line and having it ‘fly’ alongside, this is what you would see. The video is so fuzzy you wouldn’t see any line. Our usual concept of UFOs is that they need no angle of attack or Newtonian mechanics-based flight as they use some anti-gravity, anti-drug type of deal. It could fly flat or at any angle it pleased.” (Source)

It has been known for quite a while that the secret Congressional meetings included footage of a UFO very close to the wing of a military jet. A while ago, Luis Elizondo claimed that there is a 23-minute UFO video and one more, where the UFO is 50 feet away from the cockpit. So, UFOs flying near airplanes and being captured in photos and videos are true.

What's next for India's Chandrayaan-3 mission on the moon?

• India on the moon! Chandrayaan-3 becomes 1st probe to land near lunar south pole

Most of the world's attention, however, is on the moon's surface. Shortly after the lander Vikram touched down on the moon, it established communications with mission control in Bengaluru, India, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

And the space agency announced late yesterday on X (formerly Twitter) that the rover, Pragyan, successfully rolled off the lander via a short ramp and "took a walk on the moon." That means the rover successfully deployed its own tiny solar panels to help it inch forward. It has two spectrometers onboard to study the makeup of lunar soil in the immediate area around the landing site.

Although the rover is equipped with cameras to avoid obstacles, its movements will be controlled at all times such that it trudges within the field of view of the cameras on the lander Vikram, ISRO has previously said.

Vikram also switched on three of its four onboard science experiments today (Aug. 24), according to ISRO. A particularly interesting instrument is a thermal probe that will, for the first time, shallowly probe lunar soil and measure its temperature, among other properties.

A second Vikram instrument will study a layer of the moon's tenuous atmosphere known as the ionosphere, which is filled with electrons and ions formed largely as a result of solar radiation. Scientists say this probe will help determine whether the ionosphere is compactly packed at all times or if its density changes over time and varying sunlight conditions.

Tom DeLonge Claims Secret DoD Document From UFO Program Proves Telekinesis Is Real

Tom DeLonge, the former lead vocalist and guitarist of the popular band Blink-182, has always had a keen interest in UFOs. He has spent many years researching and studying the topic. He has even formed a company, To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science (or To The Stars) to investigate and promote research on UFOs and other related phenomena.

DeLonge’s To The Stars is behind publishing the three footages (captured in 2004 and 2015 by the US Navy) that were released in 2017 and 2018. They depict UFOs and include audio recordings of the pilots. These videos gained a lot of attention when they were released.

His interest in UFOs began at a young age. As a child, DeLonge was fascinated by stories of alien encounters and sightings. He used to spend hours reading books and watching documentaries about UFOs, and was particularly interested in the famous Roswell incident of 1947, where a UFO allegedly crashed in New Mexico.

DeLonge’s research led him to conclude that UFOs are real and that they are of extra-terrestrial origin. He believes that there is a wealth of evidence to support this conclusion, including reports of sightings and encounters, as well as physical evidence such as radar tracks and photographs.

During a podcast with Daniel P Carter of BBC Radio 1 Rock, DeLonge disclosed that he has a secret official Pentagon document from a UFO program that shows telekinesis is a real ability. He believes that telekinesis has been proven in the lab and that consciousness precedes matter, and once we discover that, life is going to get very interesting.

He suggests that we have the ability to heal ourselves and create new types of Sciences and Engineering tweets. He also believes that telepathy is going to be a part of it, and that they have found an area in the brain that they believe is where telepathy happens. He thinks that once people accept all of the stuff that they have been talking about, it’s going to change the world. Below is the transcript of his conversation with Carter:

“I always tell people there is this really cool document (that I have) that was a part of the UFO program where they were studying a kid in China who can move objects with his mind. He is around 10 years old, so they wanted to figure out how that’s possible, and they recreated it in the lab.

I have the whole Department of Defense document, and it goes through it and says they were able to put a piece of paper in a glass jar, screw the lid on it, and move the paper through the lid and then six feet across the floor, all with their mind. 100 people can do this, only 10 have mastered it, and it was just wild.

So telekinesis has been proven in the lab, but no one knows about it. I’m like, to be able to move things with the force, like in Star Wars, is a big deal. It sounds ridiculous, that’s why, and within the current paradigm, it sounds ridiculous. I’m sure, or you won’t remember, but we had a conversation at the Reading Festival many years ago where I think I probably came across as a total maniac, even to someone as open-minded as yourself. But, I was talking about reading a bunch of different things, which means nothing, but I was looking at different realms of consciousness because that’s the basis of everything I believe.

I believe that consciousness precedes matter and I highly agree with you. Because the current paradigm is that consciousness is a facet that’s created by matter, which is just this weird thing that’s come about because our brains are complicated and that’s nonsense. I think it’s exactly the opposite and once we discover that stuff, life is going to get very interesting.

Once we discover that mind over matter, not the other way around, we will have the ability to heal ourselves, create new types of Sciences and Engineering, and become a civilization where telepathy is a part of it. I believe that’s all going to happen. There is one person, who was up for the Nobel last year, is one of the top geneticists in the world, at one of the Ivy League schools that we are working with, who worked on part of the UFO program at the Pentagon. I was talking to him, and they found an area in the brain that they believe is where telepathy happens, and he believes he can create something to enhance it by a thousand times, like some type of drug that targets that area of the brain.

So, that’s the thing, people do think it’s ridiculous, but not the people who have an open enough mind to research and jump in. These guys are like World leading PhDs, and that’s been the kind of the story of my life, is everything I’ve told, even on Rogan, is not made up, it’s coming from somewhere, and I can’t say where it’s coming from, but at the end of the day, it’s all real. I think it’s going to be a very exciting time once people accept all of the stuff that we’ve been talking about here on this interview, I think it’s going to really change the world.”

Moreover, as in the January 2022 Thrasher Magazine issue, DeLonge was asked: “Would you say UFOs are driven by aliens or do you think it’s more like a drone?” He replied: “I think both.” He suggested that it is important to note that while studying UFOs, we must be aware of the fact that they could be remotely controlled and may have occupants. (Source)

“I think the biggest misconception is that they are coming from other planets. Evidence doesn’t really support that. The evidence supports that it’s dimensional and that it’s parallel timelines that exist with frequency. It’s really complicated, different, and interesting. But once you understand that, you have no way out of reexamining the religious world and wondering what the Star of Bethlehem really was,” DeLonge explained.

Further, he was asked if UFOs or aliens are coming from the oceans. He said that while the origin of UFOs is a separate conversation, it is believed that they do exist in our oceans. With the use of sensors placed throughout the ocean to detect submarines and other objects, it has been reported that there have been sightings of unidentified submerged objects (USOs).

In one instance, a helicopter pilot was testing torpedoes, and a navy SEAL was sent down on a wire to retrieve the torpedo. However, as soon as he touched the water, a large craft came underneath him, took the torpedo, and left at the high speed. The navy SEAL was in shock and panicked, requesting to be pulled up immediately. Although there were initial plans to have the witnesses speak on television, they later backed out, and some of them testified to the committee. Nonetheless, similar incidents continue to occur frequently, and it is, indeed, extraordinary.

DeLonge’s views on UFOs have been met with both praise and criticism. Some people believe that his research is valuable and that it is important to investigate and study UFOs in an open and honest manner. Others believe that DeLonge’s opinion is misguided and that there is no evidence to support his conclusions.

Despite the criticism, DeLonge remains committed to his research and wants to continue promoting the truth about UFOs. He believes that UFOs are real and that they are of extra-terrestrial origin, and that the truth about UFOs should be investigated and studied openly and honestly. Through his work To The Stars, DeLonge hopes to bring more attention to the topic of UFOs and to promote research and discussion about this fascinating phenomenon.

Did NASA Just Enter A New Space Race? A Space Policy Expert Says It Would Be a Mistake

No one can just plant a flag and declare that they own Shackleton Crater.

BY KIONA SMITH

 

MARK FELIX/AFP/Getty Images

The south pole of the Moon just might be the hottest real estate in the Universe right now. Nearly every country with a space program has its eyes set on establishing a presence on the lunar surface’s south side. NASA, for example, is currently in the middle of its Artemis campaign, set to culminate with a permanent U.S. settlement there, and India, Russia, and China are all inching their way to our neighboring celestial body.

If this feels like deja vu, you’re not wrong. The original “space race” — a fierce battle between the U.S. and the Soviet Union over who had the technology to conquer the cosmos first — began with the launch of Sputnik 1 and culminated with the U.S. landing the first crewed spacecraft, Apollo 11, on the moon. But now, over 50 years later, we may be entering an entirely new era of space exploration, one that seems poised to come with a race of its own.

Earlier this month, at a press conference at Kennedy Space Center for NASA’s Artemis II mission, NASA administrator Bill Nelson expressed concern that if China's space agency beat NASA to a crewed Moon landing, China might deny other countries access to landing sites and water ice.

“The space race is really between us and China,” said Nelson. “And we need to protect the interests of the international community.”

Inverse talked with space policy expert Ian Christensen of the Secure World Foundation, who also is involved in "twice-yearly informal, off-the-record dialogues with the U.S. and Chinese space sector actors,” about why the U.S. and China are gearing up for a new “space race,” what exactly is at stake, and how it’s likely to play out.

WHY WE’RE RACING TO THE MOON AGAIN

NASA and the China National Space Administration (CNSA) seem to be eyeing some of the same landing sites for Artemis III and Chang’e-7, a CNSA mission to explore the Moon, including landing on its surface, planned for a 2026 launch.

That’s not terribly surprising. The Moon’s southern craters are an ideal location for a number of reasons. First, the area offers a near-perfect landing site: a high, flat ground with good lighting. The resources around it also make it possible to set up a permanent base on the moon. A nearby crater contains an ice deposit large enough to turn the frozen water into rocket fuel and breathable oxygen — two resources that are critical to establishing long-term bases on the Moon and eventually providing logistical support for missions to Mars. And that’s something both countries are determined to do.

All of this, on some level, is about power.

“Space is not separable from diplomatic soft power,” says Christensen. (“Soft power” refers to wielding influence rather than military might or financial leverage.) “The State Department and NASA have tried to leverage space as part of U.S. international diplomatic strategies. China does the same thing; they don't have quite the brand identity, but they certainly bring space into diplomatic and trade agreements.”

Domestic policy may also have something to do with it. The idea of a space race hearkens back to the Cold War, and that is politically expedient for both countries, at least in some ways.

“There's something of an ‘Apollo hangover’ in the U.S.,” says Christensen. “The idea that competition with the Soviets led to this tremendous achievement, and we want to recapture that sort of environment. I think there's certainly an element of that in there.” The idea of a competitor might also give the U.S. space program a sense of urgency.

Meanwhile, Christensen says, “The Chinese ecosystem is certainly motivated at a certain level by trying to maintain its reputation as a space power,” and keeping pace with the U.S. is a key part of that.

A NEW RACE, A NEW RIVAL

What about our old Cold War “space race” rival, Russia? Nelson essentially dismissed Russia as a competitor in the current race to the Moon. He cited a long history of U.S. and Russian cooperation in space (although that, too, has been strained since Russia invaded Ukraine). But he also made it clear that Russia just isn’t in a position to compete:

“I don't think that a lot of people at this point would say that Russia is actually ready to be landing cosmonauts on the Moon in the timeframe that we're talking about going to the Moon, or that possibly China would be,” Nelson said.

As if to prove Nelson’s point, Russia’s Luna-25 lander crashed during an attempt to land near the Moon’s south pole on August 19. Luna-25 had been neck-and-neck with India’s Chandrayaan-3 lander in the race to become the first spacecraft to land near the Moon’s south pole.

The crash is an embarrassing political setback for Russia, whose president Vladimir Putin touts the country’s space program as proof of Russian power, both to his own people and to other countries.

Despite Putin’s ambitions, though, it’s been more than 30 years since Russia was a real space power. In recent years, Roscosmos has mostly been in the business of ferrying astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station (and even that hasn’t gone so well lately). The agency has been working on a shoestring budget for decades. Money — and access to hardware — has gotten even tighter since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, triggering waves of international sanctions, including from some of the countries that were originally slated to provide electronic components for Luna-25.

With Luna-25 now a pile of scrap on the lunar surface, it looks like India may beat Russia — and everyone else — to the south pole of the Moon. But for NASA, China remains the competitor to watch: the country is a powerhouse economic, political, and ideological rival to the U.S. here on Earth, and (unlike Russia) it has both money and political will to throw behind a race to the Moon.

NO ONE OWNS THE MOON

So how will the new lunar “space race” unfold? Neither the U.S. nor China (nor anybody else) can just plant a flag and declare that they own Shackleton Crater. Both countries have signed the Outer Space Treaty, which says that celestial bodies like the Moon and Mars can’t be claimed as national territory.

On the other hand, you really can’t land your spaceship on top of somebody else’s astronaut encampment or robotic lander. The U.S. and China agreed, by signing the Outer Space Treaty, not to cause “harmful interference” with each other’s operations, which definitely includes not landing a rocket on them. What’s less clear is how much room one country is obligated to give another country’s landing site, for example.

Sorting out that kind of detail is going to be a huge challenge in the years ahead, and communication between the U.S. and Chinese governments will be key to working out those issues — and maybe even setting the precedent that will define how countries interact on the Moon, on Mars, and in the asteroid belt.

The question, says Christensen, is, “Do we have the lines of communication between these two states to figure out deconfliction mechanisms or to share information on activities being conducted so that we don't stumble into some sort of inadvertent crisis points?” But the two countries’ strained relationship here on Earth could make that difficult.

“We've seen kind of a difficulty in establishing communication channels in other domains of operations, so I think there's some concern that that will continue in the space domain,” says Christensen.

NAVIGATING AROUND THE COMMUNICATIONS BARRIER

U.S. law actually forbids NASA to talk to China’s space agency. An amendment to a 2011 appropriations bill, called the Townsend amendment, prohibits direct discussions between NASA and Chinese officials.

Instead, says Christensen, conversations on coordinating and minimizing conflict on the Moon have to happen in big, multinational forums like the UN Committee on the Peaceful Use of Outer Space or the International Space Exploration Coordination Group, or in what Christensen describes as "informal dialogues between stakeholders on both sides.” Those are mostly discussions about the broad strokes of each country's goals and principles — not establishing rules of the road for future lunar settlements.

"We're not looking for agreements, and we're not looking for any sort of cooperation; we're just looking to have some very basic kind of better understanding of individual and cultural logic," says Christensen. "It's a kind of indirect and slow process."

And there are other ways to work around the Townsend Amendment. The U.S. and China have managed to swap scientific information a few times in the past, trading observations from NASA’s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) for data from China’s Chang’e missions.

“I think we should be looking for more opportunities to do that: around sample uses, physical characterization of the regolith, things like that,” says Christensen, “so that some limited basic scientific data exchange can occur and help us have some connections.”

TENSION, BUT NOT CONFLICT

Things between the U.S. and China are already tense, and that’s going to make us awkward lunar neighbors at best. And there’s a very good chance that disputes over lunar landing sites could add stress to the already strained relationship between the U.S. and China here on Earth.

“There's a risk that it becomes another point of tension in this larger dynamic between the two states,” says Christensen.

But he doesn’t expect that tension to spill over into armed conflict, either on the Moon or about the Moon.

“I think conflict over the Moon is probably unlikely in the foreseeable future,” says Christensen. “I don't think we've yet established the type of integration of the Moon into broader economics and geopolitics to bring into conflict.”

In the end, Christensen says a space “race” probably isn’t the right word and definitely not a productive one. “I think it puts a little bit too much importance on getting there } and detracts from some of the more long-term questions.”

Arthur C Clarke Unmasks The Truth Behind UFOs

The Search for Truth in the Skies

The subject of UFOs and extraterrestrial life has gripped the imagination of many, but perhaps nobody embodies this curiosity as much as Arthur C. Clarke did (Amazon link). The eminent science fiction author and futurist, whose work often grappled with mankind’s place in the universe, once took it upon himself to explore the various facets of unidentified flying objects.

From Skepticism to Curiosity

Clarke’s own experience with what he initially thought was a UFO turned out to be a weather balloon, a common source of mistaken identity. His tale serves as a gentle reminder that not everything we see in the sky is from another galaxy. Clarke was skeptical about long-range UFO sightings primarily because they often lacked irrefutable evidence.

However, he was genuinely fascinated by “Close Encounters”—instances where people claimed to have come into direct contact with extraterrestrial beings or their craft. Clarke pointed out that while it is possible that older, more advanced civilizations might have been visiting Earth, there is no hard evidence to suggest ongoing visitations in the modern era.

The Tale of Mrs. Jesse Roestenburg

One of the more engrossing accounts Clarke delved into was that of Mrs. Jesse Roestenburg, who lived in a Staffordshire farmhouse. Roestenburg’s tale was gripping: a giant, Mexican hat-shaped object suspended in the sky, with beings inside who had golden hair and “eyes full of compassion.” For Roestenburg and her children, this was a moment that defied rational explanation. The object performed aerial maneuvers before ascending sharply and disappearing, leaving a family in awe and wonder.

When Physical Evidence Appears

Bob Taylor, a forestry worker, was another individual who claimed to have a close encounter, but with a twist: there was physical evidence. Taylor stumbled upon a dark, domed object while walking down a woodland track. He described smaller “spiky” objects rolling towards him and an overwhelming, choking smell before losing consciousness. When he returned home, his trousers were torn in a manner consistent with being pulled upward.

The police found unexplainable track marks and holes in the ground at the scene, adding a layer of mystique to an already baffling event. Could this have been evidence of a craft landing or taking off?

The Technological Watchtower

Clarke was particularly intrigued by the idea that if extraterrestrial visitors were frequenting Earth, it seemed improbable that they could elude the extensive radar networks operated by various countries. Anything “as big as a pencil” orbiting Earth could be tracked, making the secretive arrival of an extraterrestrial craft unlikely.

What To Do If You Meet an Extraterrestrial?

Clarke’s advice was whimsical yet profound: “Be very polite and be prepared for a long journey.” If the visitors are anything like us—curious explorers of the cosmos—they might be as fascinated by us as we are by them.

• Arthur C Clarke Unmasks The Truth Behind UFOs | Our World

Arthur C. Clarke’s balanced, scientific perspective on UFOs serves as a guide for how we might approach this enduring mystery. While Clarke remained skeptical about random lights in the sky, he was open to the possibility of life beyond Earth and the compelling tales of those who claim to have had close encounters. Like Clarke, perhaps we should be prepared to embrace the unknown, armed with curiosity and a dash of skepticism, as we continue our collective quest to understand our place in the universe.

William Tompkins & MUFON Director: Earth Is Controlled By Warring Extraterrestrial Species

By Vicky Verma

Just two years before his death, William M. Tompkins had written “Selected by Extraterrestrials,” which induced sudden chaos in the UFO community with his incredible testimony about the US Navy’s secret development of space battle groups with the assistance of major aerospace companies beginning with Douglas Aircraft. He can be considered one of the most incredible whistleblowers to step forward and disclosed the Secret Space Programs, E.T. Agendas, and hidden governments. He claimed to be part of an operation involving US Navy spies who stole UFO plans and antigravity technological secrets from the Nazis during World War II.

In July 2017, at a press conference, Tompkins made an unprecedented statement. He worked for the Douglas Aircraft Company alongside extraterrestrials (Nordic alien women). It had been 4-7 years before NASA appeared. He claimed about it in his book (mentioned above) that was published in 2015.

Additionally, he revealed that the Nazis had already had operational UFOs during the war, and because of the information that the US spies were able to obtain, the US later developed its own fleet of UFOs – which then got siphoned off into the black military sphere under the control of Majestic 12, the ultra-secretive group that controlled and managed the UFO/alien issue in the 1940s.

During the time of World War, there were secret societies such as the Thule Society and the Vril Society. Famous British historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clark wrote a whole chapter about Maria Orsic in his book “Black Sun” published in 2001, where he connected her with Vril society.

The author mentioned that Orsic could communicate with alien civilizations and one of them was from the planet Aldebaran, which is located in the Taurus system.

• FBI 1947 Declassified Report: Giant Aliens Visit Earth From Another Dimension

According to Tompkins, the Nazis were in contact with Extraterrestrial Reptilians at the same time as Orsic was doing her channeling. Hitler found out about Orsic, her abilities, and the fact she was receiving information that detailed how to construct UFOs.

According to Tompkins, Hitler allowed Orsic (and the Nordics with whom she was working for) to continue work on their UFO program because the Nazis were already in contact with the Reptilians, and because Hitler knew he could always take over Orsic’s project at any time.

Robert Wood, who was interviewed alongside William Tompkins by Search4TruthReality (source), claimed that the Nazis’ technology rapidly advanced due to their relationship with the Reptilians, so that they actually got to the far side of the moon before the end of WW2.

Dr. Wood worked in research and development management in Douglas Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas from 1956 to 1993. Later he became a Board member of MUFON. He was given $500,000 to disseminate UFO documents and $250,000 to make a UFO documentary. Later, Robert and his son Ryan scanned hundreds of MJ-12 documents and made them available on their website MajesticDocuments.com

According to William Tompkins, he was recruited at a young age by the Navy due to his precocious ability to build highly accurate model ships. After working at North American Aviation and Northrop, he was hired by Douglas Aircraft Company in 1950.

In the interviews such as with Project Camelot and in his book “Selected by Extraterrestrials,” Tompkins revealed much of his story. He explained that MJ-12 began in 1942 with the senior Douglas (the man who started the company).

Tompkins stated that right after the Battle of LA in 1942, in order to handle the implications of UFOs openly showing themselves in the skies, Douglas pulled some key men into a group (or think tank) that later became MJ-12.

Seventeen-year-old Bill Tompkins points out the detail on his models to naval Captain H. C. Gearing, commandant of the 11th Naval District in San Diego. Bill was soon inducted into the navy and is shown in the second photo in his uniform holding one of his aircraft carriers. He went on to help design com on the real ships.

Dr. Wood stated that MJ-12 is mostly associated with the Air Force, not other branches of the US military. He explained that the US Navy started back-engineering Nazi UFO crafts in 1942 before MJ-12 came into existence. It took the Navy around a decade to produce functional UFO craft, but they did so eventually.

Tompkins stated that when the first astronauts went to the moon, they were shocked to discover it had already been occupied by Draco Reptilians. He said that the Reptilians, over 9 feet tall, were standing next to their advanced craft.

According to both Tompkins and Dr. Wood, the Reptilians had already made a deal with the Nazis. Amazingly, Tompkins himself claimed he saw ancient structures on the far side of the moon and that he saw a floating building – 1.5 miles above the lunar surface.

According to Tompkins, although there are many ET species interacting with humanity currently, including Dracos/Reptilians and Nordics which have a great influence on the world.

In his Project Camelot interview, Tompkins prevented himself from disclosing more information about Reptilians as it was harmful to his credibility.

Tompkins also described the US Military’s concerns about UFOs and alien beings and the Military’s rush to create advanced space-based weapons, which could be used to defend the planet Earth against an ET threat to our civilization.

He revealed US Navy has Battle Groups operating outside the Earth. He personally designed five space ships and thirty support ships. Using the latest technology, he designed different space ships for Northrop Aviation Company. Northrop started building the huge craft underground in Utah.

Tompkins claimed we are now building even better Battle Groups. The Apollo moon landings were also designed to build a base on the moon. We have had bases on the moon along with bases on Mars and Jupiter’s moons.

A month after the shocking conference, Tompkins passed away unexpectedly on August 21, 2017, in San Diego, California, at the age of 94.

Ancient River Is Helping NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover Do Its Work

The six-wheeled geologist is getting some assistance in its search for diverse rock samples that could be brought to Earth for deeper investigation.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover sealed the tube containing its 20th rock core sample on June 23 (the 832nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission), and the mission’s science team is excited about its potential. That’s because this sample was drilled by the rover from an outcrop composed of tiny chunks of other rocks that were carried from elsewhere by a river in the distant past and deposited here, where they became cemented together. Conglomerates like this one (nicknamed “Emerald Lake” by the team) pack a lot of information about places the rover may never visit, with each new rock fragment representing a geologic a story to be told.

“Pebbles and boulders found in a river are messengers from afar,” said Ken Farley, Perseverance project scientist from Caltech in Pasadena. “And while the water that created the Martian riverbed that Perseverance is currently exploring evaporated billions of years ago, the story carried by those waters remains fresh, stored in conglomerate rock.”

Perseverance's 'Otis Peak' Sample Reveals Colors of Conglomerate: NASA’s Perseverance captured this image June 13 of a sample it cored from a conglomerate rock called “Emerald Lake.” This “Otis Peak” core shows distinctly colored areas that are individual minerals transported by a river that once flowed into Jezero Crater. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech. Download image ›

Perseverance is collecting these samples so that they can be brought to Earth by the NASA-ESA (European Space Agency) Mars Sample Return campaign and studied by lab equipment that’s too large and complex to bring to Mars. Scientists will be able to look at each pebble and fragment in this core, dubbed “Otis Peak,” to determine details such as its age, what the environmental conditions were like in the river when the conglomerate formed, and whether it contains signs of ancient microbial life.

Now in its third science campaign, Perseverance is exploring the top of a fan-shaped pile of sedimentary rock that stands 130 feet (40 meters) tall. With this sample sealed and stored in its belly, the rover is on its way to a low ridge called “Snowdrift Peak.” To get there, it will have to cross a field of boulders.

As with the rock fragments in the Otis Peak sample, scientists believe the boulders likely formed elsewhere and were transported to their present location billions of years ago by an ancient river. Boulders are also desirable because their large surface area allows scientists to visually investigate many potentially distinct rocks in a single image. So the team will be keeping their options open, ready to stop for anything that piques their curiosity.

“Whether the boulders appear intriguing enough for closer examination and possible sampling remains to be seen – literally,” said Farley. “We’re taking a page from the past. Prospectors looking for gold or diamonds in the old days often looked in rivers to determine whether there was any deposit of interest upstream. No need to hike up there to see – let the river do the work!”

More About the Mission

A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including caching samples that may contain signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.

Subsequent NASA missions, in cooperation with ESA, would send spacecraft to Mars to collect these sealed samples from the surface and return them to Earth for in-depth analysis.

The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is part of NASA’s Moon to Mars exploration approach, which includes Artemis missions to the Moon that will help prepare for human exploration of the Red Planet.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed for the agency by Caltech, built and manages operations of the Perseverance rover.

RESEARCHERS MANIPULATING TIME CAUSE FIRST-EVER SUCCESSFUL PHOTON COLLISIONS

CHRISTOPHER PLAIN

IS USING ONE WAVE TO CANCEL ANOTHER WAVE POSSIBLE?

Engineers studying the devastating effects of wave-driven catastrophes like tsunamis and earthquakes have often postulated the idea of using a counter-wave to stop them in their tracks. Unfortunately, various laws of physics have proven the idea impractical, if not downright impossible. Still, researchers studying wave interactions at the atomic and sub-atomic scale wondered if the idea might be possible in the quantum universe.

“While such an outcome (stopping a tsunami) is impossible in conventional wave physics, we knew it was possible in principle with a temporal metamaterial,” said Emanuele Galiffi, a postdoctoral fellow at Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) and the leading author on this latest study. “Our experiment allowed us to demonstrate this concept in action for electromagnetic waves.”

MANIPULATING TIME PROVED KEY TO CAUSING FIRST-EVER PHOTON COLLISIONS

To make the historic photon collision, the CUNY ASRC team first looked back at the work they had previously published on something called time reflections.

From a purely theoretical standpoint, time reflections are exactly what they sound like. Instead of a reflection of a light wave, like seeing oneself in the mirror, or a reflection of a sound wave, like hearing an echo, a time reflection is rooted in the idea that time moves like a wave, and given the right conditions, time could be reflected backward. At least on a quantum scale.

Although the idea had been discussed for over six decades, there was no known material that could change its overall state quickly enough to initiate these time reflections. Then earlier this year, the same CUNY ASRC team behind this latest breakthrough finally proved the existence of time reflections by using a metamaterial that had only recently been developed.

“Using a sophisticated metamaterial design, we were able to realize the conditions to change the material’s properties in time both abruptly and with a large contrast,” explained Andrea Alù, Distinguished Professor of Physics at The City University of New York Graduate Center and founding director of the CUNY ASRC Photonics Initiative at the time of the discovery. The result was the first observable evidence that time had been reflected backward.

Now, Professor Alù and his team have shown that manipulating time in a metamaterial can indeed cause photons to collide.

Also notable, the researchers said that by manipulating time, they were able to control the nature of the collision to determine if energy was lost or conserved. For example, two pool balls colliding conserve the vast majority of their energy, whereas two rubber balls colliding lose much of theirs.

“We were also able to control whether the waves exchanged, gained, or lost energy during these collisions,” said Alù.

DISCOVERY COULD LEAD TO TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN NUMEROUS AREAS

One interesting application proposed and actually demonstrated by the researchers involved using their method to shape electromagnetic pulses by colliding them with one another.

“This technique allows us to use an additional signal as a mold to sculpt a pulse that we are interested in structuring,” said Gengyu Xu, a postdoctoral fellow with Alù’s lab and co-leading author of the paper.  Xu says they have already shown this ability using radio waves and that they are now working to “realize this sculpting ability” at higher frequencies.

In their conclusion, the researchers state that the ability to collide EM waves with the goal of controlling wave propagation could also lead to breakthroughs in a number of areas that rely on such processes. These include advances in wireless communications, energy harvesting, imaging, and computing.

Flashing cigar-shaped UFO over Downswood, UK

20th August 2023, Maidstone, UK – In the era of advanced technology and scientific discovery, there still remain moments that are shrouded in mystery and wonder. A recent event that took place over Downswood has grabbed the attention of UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike, adding to the ever-growing catalog of unexplained “UFO sightings” from around the world.

Witness Report: A Glimpse Into the Unknown

On a day marked by clear skies and a backdrop of azure blues, a mysterious long rectangular object was seen emitting an extraordinary light. Travelling in an easterly direction at approximately 15,000 to 20,000 feet, the UFO, visible to the naked eye, was brightly illuminated—whether by its own lights or a reflection remains a subject of debate.

However, what made this sighting particularly compelling was its peculiar behaviour. The lights from the object flashed intermittently, causing the UFO to momentarily disappear before resurfacing in the vast sky. This unusual pattern of appearance and disappearance left many onlookers in awe and bewilderment.

Contextual Puzzle Piece: The Eastbourne Airshow

In a curious twist to the narrative, an Eurofighter Typhoon, participating in the Eastbourne Airshow, was spotted flying from the North to the South. This jet, cruising at a height considerably lower than the unidentified flying object, provides an intriguing contrast and context to the sighting.

Did the two events, occurring almost simultaneously, share a connection? Or was it simply a remarkable coincidence that a highly sophisticated and identifiable aircraft was present near the mysterious high-flying entity?

Captured for Posterity

Thanks to the advancements in smartphone technology, the strange spectacle was captured on a Google Pixel 7 Pro mobile phone. The video accompanying this article clearly showcases the object’s trajectory and distinctive features. It serves as a visual testimony, inviting viewers to come to their own conclusions about the unexplained phenomenon.

While the existence of extraterrestrial life remains a divisive topic, UFO sightings like the one over Downswood serve as tantalizing clues to the enigma. As interest in the unknown continues to grow, and as people from different corners of the world come forth with their own stories and evidence, one thing remains certain: The sky, in all its vastness, still holds secrets waiting to be unraveled.
