An astrophysicist at Harvard University believes he may have found proof of extraterrestrial life not by studying the vast night sky, but by combing the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Last month, a crew aboard a boat called the Silver Star embarked on an expedition to Papua New Guinea with the mission of recovering fragments from a mysterious meteor that had crashed into Earth in 2014.

During the two-week excursion, the team scoured over 100 miles of ocean bed before recovering 50 tiny spheres composed of a metallic substance they say is unmatched to any existing alloys in our solar system.

The spheres — which are so miniscule that they require a microscope to see — require further testing to determine whether they're natural or technological in nature. Depending on the findings, the objects could be the first time that humanity has found solid evidence of interstellar beings.

In other words, aliens.

"Our findings open a new frontier in astronomy of studying what lies outside the solar system through microscopes rather than telescopes, said Avi Loeb, a professor and astrophysicist at Harvard University, who led the expedition as its chief scientist.

The hunt for an interstellar meteor yields surprising findings

The fragments the team uncovered are believed to be from a basketball-sized meteorite that in 2014 slammed into the Earth’s atmosphere and into the western Pacific Ocean.

Originating from outside the solar system, the meteor moved at a speed two times faster than nearly all of the stars in the vicinity of the sun, Loeb said. Though too small to be noticed by telescopes through its reflection of sunlight, its collision with Earth generated a bright fireball recorded by U.S. government sensors, Loeb added.

Loeb in 2019 identified the meteor's interstellar origin in a paper he co-wrote with Harvard undergraduate student Amir Siraj. Three years later, U.S. Space Command further confirmed in a 2022 letter to NASA that the object — deemed interstellar meteor, IM1 — came from another solar system.

The $1.5 million expedition that Loeb led was to recover the fragments left over from the explosion on the floor of the Pacific Ocean at its crash site near Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. Between June 14-28, the crew searched over 108 miles of the ocean floor by combing it with a sled full of magnets attached to their boat.

Loeb said it took days to get the magnetic sled on the ocean floor and a few more days after that to understand just what the crew collected along the expected path of the meteor — about 53 miles off the coast of Manus Island.

"As we scooped the magnets, the most abundant material attached to them was a black powder of volcanic ash," he wrote on Medium.com.

But after a week at sea, the breakthrough Loeb had been seeking finally came. A member of the team observed through the microscope a "beautiful metallic marble of sub-millimeter size and sub-milligram mass," Loeb wrote. After the discovery, the team continued to find more spherules.

A preliminary analysis of the spherules' composition suggested they do not match commonly manufactured alloys or natural meteorites in our solar system, Loeb said. The crew brought the 50 spherules to the Harvard College Observatory for further study.

The fundamental question scientists hope to answer is whether the meteor was natural in origin, or artificially-made. In other words, is it remnants of an alien spaceship?

"We've been looking for something the size of a watermelon in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and somehow managed to find some fragments," according to a statement from, American entrepreneur Charles Hoskinson, who funded the expedition. "This operation has produced excellent science and I hope captures the imagination of the general public for the pursuit of intelligent life in the universe."

What's next?

The expedition team recently held its first meeting to plan and put together a scientific paper to describe the findings, Loeb said.

The team hopes to complete a preliminary analysis at three laboratories at Harvard, in Germany and at the University of California, Berkeley, the findings of which Loeb said will be incorporated into a paper that will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal within the month.

It's not lost on Loeb how significant of a discovery he could have on his hands, the implications of which would fundamentally alter humanity's understanding of the universe and our place in it. A few days after returning from the expedition, Loeb recalled that FedEx delivered a black plastic suitcase with the materials to his front door.

"I then realized that for the first time in history, humans are in possession of materials from a meter-size object that came from outside the solar system, the first recognized interstellar meteor," Loeb told USA TODAY. "FedEx was the last step in a journey that this package may have made for billions of years through interstellar space before it arrived at my doorstep."

UFOs & Mainstream Science: Astrophysicist Avi Loeb Calls for a New Era of Clarity and Inquiry

In a recent round-table conversation with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Elizabeth Vargas, Avi Loeb stood out as the antithesis to armchair science theorists. The Harvard Professor and Chair of Astronomy believes that talking about science isn’t enough; one needs to “walk the talk” by actively participating in data collection and analysis.

In Search of Intergalactic Artifacts

While deGrasse Tyson cautioned against the reliability of eyewitness accounts as scientific evidence, Loeb actively engages in fieldwork that takes him to extraordinary lengths. He isn’t just theorizing about cosmic bodies and potential life beyond our planet; he’s out there looking for tangible evidence. In one ambitious project, Loeb led a team to sift through the depths of the Pacific Ocean, hoping to find materials that might have originated from outside our solar system.

Ocean Floors Over Classified Files

Loeb challenges the notion that we must wait for government-released evidence to advance our understanding of phenomena like UFOs or extraterrestrial material. According to him, the oceans are not classified; hence, they serve as a more democratic ground for scientific exploration. He believes the answers we seek might be buried not in classified government documents but possibly under miles of ocean water.

Scientific Rigor vs. Skeptical Inertia

Avi Loeb’s approach also raises questions about the role skepticism plays in scientific progress. While deGrasse Tyson represents a cautionary perspective, urging for “better data,” Loeb calls for more open-minded exploration. He points out that skepticism should not become a barrier to seeking empirical evidence. There is a difference, he argues, between being scientifically rigorous and being dismissive of groundbreaking avenues of study.

Bring Back the Scientific Adventure

Loeb laments that some scientists have become too cautious, even stalling the wheels of progress. The passionate astronomer advocates for a return to the golden age of scientific discovery, an era marked by audacious explorations and path-breaking findings. He challenges the scientific community to not just speak about the colossal implications of discovering life beyond Earth, but to actively seek out that evidence.

New Book on the Horizon

For those intrigued by Loeb’s unconventional approach to scientific discovery, there’s good news. He has a new book in the pipeline that delves into these very topics, discussing the significance of potential discoveries and their transformative impact on humanity.

In a world where scientific discourse often takes place in conference rooms and on social media platforms, Avi Loeb serves as a poignant reminder of what scientific adventure used to be—and can still be. His efforts to merge discourse with action lay down a formidable challenge to both scientists and skeptics alike: Stop just talking about finding evidence and start actively looking for it.

So, whether it’s combing through the ocean depths for cosmic relics or pushing the boundaries of mainstream scientific thought, Avi Loeb is more than just a theorist. He is an adventurer at heart, aiming to take the scientific community along on a journey to uncharted territories.

U.S. Congressman Says UFOs May Be Machines of a Hidden ‘Ancient Earth Civilization’

For over 90 years, the UFO enigma has captivated people’s minds worldwide, sparking curiosity, debates, and countless investigations into the phenomenon. The wait is over, as David Grusch, David Fravor & Ryan Graves are set to testify before the US Congress during the congressional meetings scheduled for July 26, 2023.

Meanwhile, various theories were postulated by United States Representative Mike Gallagher on the possible origin of UFOs while he appeared on Pat McAfee’s show on June 27, 2023. The former Marine suggested that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) might possibly represent an enigmatic “ancient civilization” that had remained hidden on Earth until recently when they began to surface.

“This should be an opportunity for the government to be transparent,” he said. “If we have information that disconfirms the extraterrestrial hypothesis, or all these other ones, at least it shows the government doing something competent and being forward-leaning by declassifying information to the public.”

Rep. Gallagher made this statement in response to the wild interview of David Grusch with Ross Coutlhart that hit the media. Mr. Grusch, who is confirmed to testify before Congress in the upcoming hearings, claimed that the US government has proof of alien life and that there are spacecraft from another species. He mentions that there is a significant number of these spacecraft, some of which have landed while others have crashed.

When asked about the duration of the cover-up, Grusch mentions that the first recovery of a UAP occurred in 1933 in Magenta, Italy, during the regime of Benito Mussolini. He explains that the Italian government moved the recovered craft to a secure air base until 1944-1945 when the Vatican informed the Americans about it.

Appearing on the sports talk show, Gallagher suggested that one possible explanation of supposed UFO sightings was the so-called “Terminator” theory — derived from the film of the same name — that aliens were actually human beings from the future. Gallagher further put forth another theory, suggesting the following: “Instead of us from the future, it might indeed be an ancient civilization that has been lurking here, and suddenly it’s making its presence known.” Ancient Aliens, does it ring a bell?

A similar theory was also proposed by Tim Peake, one of Britain’s famous astronauts. He said that the UFOs filmed by the US military over 100 times could either time traveling humans or aliens from other civilizations. During an interview with Good Morning Britain in June 2022, Briton astronaut Tim Peake, who spent more than six months on the International Space Station, was asked about the UAP videos, which the Pentagon recently declassified.

Peake said: “I heard one theory where a pilot was talking about that potentially in the future, they’ve developed time travel – is it something that’s come back from the future?” He did not exactly say what the UFOs are but shared some theories that have long been discussed by UFOlogists.

“I don’t think it’s a development of any state nation or non-state organization at all. I think it’s quite remarkable when you see the video footage. It does seem extraordinary as to what these machines are capable of.”

There is a huge buried UFO hidden outside the US, and Ross Coulthart claimed that he knows the location of this immovable craft. There is no confirmation from Coulthart about the nature of this craft if it was retrieved. However, some have speculated this could be an archeological dig. Could this particular craft potentially be a remnant of a bygone civilization?

Considering Rep. Gallagher’s theory, scientists have explored the possibility of detecting ancient civilizations in Earth’s geological record. A recent paper called “The Silurian Hypothesis” discusses how traces of industrial civilizations could be found. While fossils and artifacts are unlikely to survive over millions of years, anomalous changes in chemical compositions could serve as clues. By studying geological anomalies and applying models to other planets, scientists hope to understand if civilizations existed in the distant past.

NASA has spent many years seeking the truth regarding extraterrestrial life. Furthermore, the space agency has never denied the existence of non-human life beyond Earth in any form. This is sufficient to discuss the idea of non-human life existing beyond Earth in any form, from the microscopic to the macroscopic. Avi Loeb, a professor at Harvard, has supported the idea that there may have been earlier civilizations on both Earth and Mars, and that these civilizations may have been the origin of UAPs. (Click here to read the full article)

Mr. Loeb writes: “Planets like Mars or Earth could have given multiple births to technological civilizations that were a billion years apart and hence were not aware of each other. Like stable parents, the planets recovered from the environmental impact of these civilizations over time. We may have been separated in time from siblings that we never had the opportunity to meet and so we are unaware of their existence.”

Former Pentagon UFO official, Lue Elizondo, shared intriguing insights in an interview about crash retrievals and materials related to UFOs/UAPs. He believes the US government possesses exotic materials but lacks transparency on the matter. (Click here to read the full article)

Elizondo used an analogy of finding an out-of-place object in King Tut’s tomb to emphasize the significance of finding advanced materials before our known technology existed. Some interpreted this analogy as a hint that UFOs could be considered archaeological findings, possibly ancient rather than just old.

Interestingly, Bob Lazar, on the Joe Rogan Experience, mentioned hearing that at least one recovered UFO was found during an archaeological dig, suggesting its ancient origin. Astronomer Avi Loeb suggested that some advanced devices made by early inhabitants of Mars and Earth might still be operational elsewhere in the Solar System, potentially accounting for some Unidentified Aerial Phenomena reports.

Physicist John E. Brandenburg’s 2015 study speculated about a massive thermonuclear explosion that destroyed Mars’ once-Earthlike atmosphere, considering the Cydonian Hypothesis and Fermi’s Paradox. These ideas explore the possibility of ancient advanced civilizations in our solar system.

Wetenschappers zijn verrast: de wolken op Neptunus zijn plots verdwenen en dat komt door de zon

The search is agnostic regarding its potential outcome. It represents a fishing expedition that could result in a mixed bag, containing primarily (after the elimination of instrumental artifacts):

• Natural objects, like: bugs, birds, rocks or atmospheric phenomena.

• Human-made objects, like: weather balloons, drones, airplanes, rockets or satellites.

Assembling high-quality data on the first category would be of interest to zoologists or atmospheric scientists. The second category could be of interest to national security agencies in government. But anything else would be of great scientific interest to the Galileo Project. This third category includes objects that appear to be of artificial origin, for example – showing screws or bolts in high-resolution images of their surface, but moving or interacting in ways that cannot be reproduced by current human-made devices.

The Galileo Project is a new research initiative. Its novel cameras will monitor the entire sky in the optical, infrared and radio bands, as well as in audio, magnetic field and energetic particle signals. The data will be analyzed by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that will aim to catalog objects within the above-mentioned categories.

As Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional detective Sherlock Holmes noted: “When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

The Galileo Project is a new research initiative. Existing astronomical observatories target objects at great distances and have a limited field of view of the sky, whereas the Galileo Project aims to monitor the entire sky continuously and study fast-moving objects in the vicinity of the Earth. It is an astronomy project since it analyzes data obtained by telescopes and searches for interstellar objects that originate outside the Solar system. Its novel observing strategy employs state-of-the-art cameras and computers.

Government agencies aim to protect the safety of military personnel and national security interests. From their perspective, UAP reports by military staff members, such as those discussed during congressional hearings, are of primary importance for the first task, and data from military patrol sites are linked to the second objective. Government agencies must know what the vast majority of UAP are, and for that purpose they must attend to data of compromised quality including blurry videos.

However, the goal of scientists is complementary to that. They do not need to explain most of the reports. Even if only one object is of extraterrestrial technological origin among the clutter of natural or human-made objects, it would represent the most consequential discovery in human history. To figure this out, scientists must have access to the highest quality data, such as a high-resolution image of an object showing a label “Made on Exo-Planet X”, or a maneuver at a fraction of the speed of light or a set of buttons on a futuristic gadget.

Moreover, scientists are concerned with all possible geographical locations even if they do not host military or national assets. Extraterrestrial equipment might not adhere to national borders in much the same way that a biker navigating down the sidewalk does not care which of the pavement cracks is occupied by a specific colony of ants.

The innovative new telescope system of the Galileo Project represents a brand-new observatory design with unprecedented capabilities. As its “Lego pieces” were put together seamlessly over the past few weeks, my heart filled with respect and appreciation for the professional quality of the Galileo team members. In the years to come, we will harvest new knowledge from copies of the first observatory template they constructed.

These telescopes are the new eyes and the computer system attached to them is the new brain of the Galileo Project. Watching the sky through new observatories is our best way to find out whether we have neighbors.  What we do with the answer depends on the details it entails.

Journalist Said 2023 Alaska Object Was ‘Anomalous’; It Looked Like A Giant Tic-Tac

The series of events involving the US military shooting down multiple Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) in February 2023 has been staggering, particularly concerning the incident with an object detected over Alaska. When this object was intercepted above Alaska, the administration of the US president promptly ordered its takedown without hesitation.

So, on February 10, 2023, a U.S. F-22 fighter jet successfully brought down the object, which was flying at an altitude of approximately 40,000 feet over Alaska. “We don’t know who owns this object,” said the White House spokesperson John Kirby, adding that it was unclear where its flight originated. The object fell inside the United States Territorial Waters. Mr. Kirby explained that those waters were frozen but still within American territory, implying that the recovery of the debris would be much easier.

U.S. Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson, indicated that it was the size of a small car. According to him, the pilots who had been observing the object before it was shot down confirmed that there was no human presence on board. He further remarked that it lacked the ability to change direction and did not resemble any conventional aircraft. “It wasn’t an aircraft per se,” Ryder informed the media.

Interestingly, the pilots involved in the sighting gave inconsistent reports. Some stated that the object interfered with their plane’s sensors, while others did not experience this. Some also claimed that they could not discern any recognizable source of propulsion on the object and were unable to explain how it was able to remain afloat while cruising at an altitude of 40,000 feet.

Alaska Object was “Anomalous”

On August 12, 2023, investigative journalist Ross Coulthart shared his thoughts at the Victorian State Library as part of an event called “Close Encounters Australia.” He talked for around two hours, including an hour-long Q&A session where he told the audience some interesting things he had learned about the Alaska shootdowns. (Source)

Coulthart wanted to be clear about something. He was not completely sure about the things he talked about. He thinks they are true, but he was not completely confident. He said: “I’m happy to be proved wrong, but it would be very very interesting to see an explanation from the White House.” What he found interesting is that some of the people he talked to, who know about defense and secrets, said that something weird happened in Alaska.

“Can you update us on the sphere and the US shootdowns from February?” This question was asked by someone in the audience, to which Coulthart replied, “On the balloons, we’re talking here about the balloons here in February, the February shoot downs. Now, to give you some official response to this, I think a very senior defense official was just recently quoted in the newspapers as saying there’s nothing alien or extraterrestrial about these shootdowns, about the objects that were shot down.”

He continued, “And I thought that was a very interesting comment because… the information I have is that two of the objects were indeed prosaic, they were just mundane objects. Probably weather balloons. But there is an abundance now of sources, including a guy who… heh… literally lives at the end of the road in Alaska where this object was encountered by an F-22 jet.”

• Ex-CIA Pilot Said US Buried Huge UFO That Was Too Big To Move, Corroborating Coulthart Claim

Coulthart talked about one of the things that got shot down in Alaska. He said it was not like the other two things; it was different, or “anomalous.” He mentioned he could be wrong, but this is what he had heard. According to what he learned, the Alaska object looked like a big “tic-tac.”  When the F-22 hit the objectwith missile, something fell off, but it kept going despite being hit.

“There was definitely a missile fired at an object which was described as… looking a little bit like a giant tic-tac, funnily enough. That something was seen to fall off that object. That even though it was hit with an AIM missile, which is a top of the line air-to-air missile, that the object kept on going. And uh… I’ve put this to different people in defense and intelligence, and I’ve been told yes… the Alaska object was anomalous. And um, anytime I try to get a response from anybody on an official basis they run 100 miles an hour,” Coulthart said.

He spoke to other individuals who were knowledgeable about military matters and secrets. They confirmed that the Alaska incident was strange indeed. He wanted to learn more from those in charge of defense, but they were unwilling to discuss it. When he asked them, they declined to provide an answer.

Coulthart explained, “But you might notice, that nobody has given a report back to the American public or the world about what it was that the U.S., for the first time in the history of NORAD, they shot down something over North America. That’s a historic event. And yet we haven’t been told, neither has America, the full story of what those shoot downs involved.”

Some people find Coulthart’s statement convincing because if the Alaska object was indeed anomalous, that would explain why the Department of Defense (DOD) responded to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information about the object by referring the request to Advanced Aerial Research Organization (AARO).

Below is a response from the Department of Defense about a FOIA request submitted on February 11, 2023, asking for several data presumably collected during the Alaska object shot-down on February 10, 2023.

“This responds to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request # [ ] requesting “all available visual data (photographs in visual and Infra-Red spectrum, films in visible and Infra-Red spectrum, drawing and all related visual information) and tracking data (radar data, sonar data, timer data) that were presumably gathered about the object that was shot down at 1:45PM EST on 2/10/2022 over Alaska.”

We are providing a no records response in subject to your request. After a lengthy and exhaustive search through multiple offices on Elmendorf Air Force Base it has been determined that this request should be sent to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) which falls under the Defense Intelligence Agency. You can send a request to their office through the contact below.”

It’s intriguing to mention that there seem to be “no records” at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska about this case. This is puzzling because the base should have been involved in the mission to recover whatever was related to this case.

Even more fascinating, the request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is being sent to the “All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which is a part of the Defense Intelligence Agency.” This is happening even though officials described the objects in question as “likely mundane.” (Click to read the DIA resposne)

Glowing Object Over Marion, Texas On Aug 26, 2023, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Aug 26, 2023
Location of sighting: Marion, Texas, USA
Source: MUFON

 

This video was just sent in a few minutes ago. An eyewitness caught a glowing object with a glowing mist around it over Texas last night. The object then disappeared while on camera. The disappearing indicates that it was leaving, the mist is acceleration or building up of energy to shoot away at the speed of light, too fast for the human eye to detect. Texas is a UFO hotspot and it's not going to lose this reputation anytime soon.

Below is an extract from a research paper written by a biology professor from the University of Oklahoma, a Smithsonian staff member, and a cosmology professor and it was recently published in Journal of Astrophysics and Aerospace Technology. 

Anatomically “modern” humans appeared on this planet less than 50,000 years ago. But intelligent extraterrestrial life may have repeatedly evolved billions of years ago that might be the technological and scientific accomplishments of “humans” and intelligent non-human “beings” that evolved on Earth-like planets billions of years before our solar system was formed? For thousands of years there have been reports of extraterrestrial beings and “sky boats” that have visited Earth as recounted in ancient texts from India, Egypt, and Greece. They might appear to us as “gods” and they might be visiting Earth and Mars. 

The implications are that similar forms of life have evolved on other planets and that intelligent extraterrestrials have evolved on worlds billions of years older than our own. 

We provide a sample of official NASA Mars photographs above and below of what appears to be wreckage and debris from extraterrestrial spacecraft, partially buried bones, the body of a humanoid, humanoid skulls and UAPs/UFOs photographed in the skies and above surface of Mars but it must be cautioned, however, that without direct and detailed examination, it is impossible to determine with absolute certainty if these “anomalies” are extraterrestrial in origin. 

So far, government agencies refuse to acknowledge any evidence for extraterrestrial life, be it UAPs or fungi on Mars and with the creation of the quasi-military National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) it became official policy to denounce, ridicule and suppress any and all reports of extraterrestrial life, including fossils of fungi and bacteria in meteors and all evidence of algae, lichens, fungi and biological activity on Mars. 

Why has the “Pentagon” and the quasi-military NASA gone to such extraordinary extremes to deny and suppress all evidence of extraterrestrial life? Possibly, they fear if they admit there is life on Mars and UAPs are extraterrestrial, the implications are that life must be pervasive throughout this galaxy and intelligent life evolved on innumerable worlds; and this would explain why there have been tens of thousands of reports of UFOs visiting this planet. Perhaps they fear if they were to admit and acknowledge the veracity of this vast body of evidence that religious and government authority would be undermined. 

Perhaps this explains why NASA and the U.S. Defense Dept. have engaged in what some members of the U.S. congress and a few media outlets have called a “coverup”.

Bob Lazar Said UFO Was Archaeological Finding:Elizondo Shared Analogy To Support It

Ross Coulthart’s statement on an alleged huge UFO buried outside the United States unleashed a storm in the UFO community. He claims that he knows the exact location of this craft.

Elizondo acknowledged the sensitivity of the topic and the potential consequences of discussing it openly.

However, Elizondo expressed his belief that the US government does possess exotic materials but could not provide further details due to the lack of transparency from the government. He mentioned the three layers of analysis that can be conducted on a piece of material, namely physical, chemical, and atomic or nano-level research.

He suggested that if a piece of material exhibits engineered characteristics and peculiarities outside the normal range of known materials, it raises questions about its origin and the technology used to create it. He concluded by using an analogy of finding an out-of-place object in King Tut’s tomb to illustrate the significance of finding advanced materials before our known technology existed.

“Let’s say nickel or aluminum or magnesium or bismuth. Then you have to say, ‘Okay, who created it and how?’ And at the end of the day, when you have material that has been found before, supposedly, we as a species had a technology to engineer it that way, then you’ve got to ask the question. And this is why I’ve said before, you know, a 747 isn’t uncommon to see at an international airport.

But imagine being the first guy to break into King Tut’s tomb, and of all the things you find in there, you find an intact 747 sitting in the tomb. Doesn’t make sense, does it? Because 747s weren’t around when King Tut was around. So, what the hell is a 747 doing in King Tut’s tomb? So, that’s the best analogy that I can use without going into further detail. I’ve tried to be very careful.

You know, I don’t want to be dismissive of your question because it’s an important question. I would ask the same exact question. But I also have to be very, very careful. And if you notice, other folks like Hal and Eric and others, they’re very careful to have this conversation too. Yeah, okay, yeah, it’s not just me. I’m not just being paranoid and cagey here. There’s… You’re actually the most out in the open. They’re… They still, you know…”

Many members of the UFO community interpreted Elizondo’s analogy as a subtle hint that UFOs could be considered as archaeological findings. Surprisingly, on the Joe Rogan Experience, Bob Lazar recalls hearing that at least one of the recovered UFOs was found during an archaeological dig, suggesting that it is ancient rather than simply old.

Rogan asked: “Have you ever asked anyone that has any inkling of any idea of where they got them or how they got them?” Lazar replied, “No, but something must have been said to me from Barry (his lab partner) and… but I… I can’t quite remember what was said, but it just left a seed in my mind. I think at least one of them was part of an archaeological dig, so it’s old. Something, that one at least one of them is old. I don’t know if it was the one I worked on, but I remember something to do with an archaeological dig.”

Mr. Loeb believes it is possible that some of the technological advancement devices made by early inhabitants of Mars and Earth are still operational elsewhere in the Solar System. He suggests that “in that case, old flying gadgets could be a source of some of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in reports from the Director of National Intelligence to the US Congress.” (Source)

Professor Loeb is not alone in thinking of the advanced civilization that once inhabited Mars. Physicist John E. Brandenburg explained in this 2015 study what could have happened on Mars. The planet that once had an Earthlike atmosphere faced a massive thermonuclear explosion that destroyed its atmosphere. The study considered the Cydonian Hypothesis and Fermi’s Paradox. (Source)

UFOs Over Fort Indian Town Gap, PA, Aug 23, 2023, UFO Sighting News. Video.

 

Date of sighting: Aug 23, 2023

Location of sighting: Fort Indian Town, Pennsylvania, USA

Source: MUFON

 

Fort Indian Town has a population of 67 people and aliens love low populations to minimize the chances of them being seen unknowingly. This way alien activity in the are can be higher than other locations. Excellent catch, albeit short, this video shows us the massive bus size, the powerful glow and the ease at appearing and disappearing.

Glowing Object Traveling Slow Over Santa Maria, Brazil Aug 24, 2023, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Aug 24, 2023

Location of sighting: Santa Maria, Brazil

 

This resent UFO video sent into me shows a glowing object moving very slowly through the sky and glowing oddly. I mean...the object is not falling apart or breaking up into small fragments like meteors. It's not exploding into fragments since NASA does say almost all meteors burn up and break up before they hit the earth. So you see, this is not a meteor at all, but is actually a round sphere UFO disguising itself as a meteor. Aliens pride themselves on their intelligence and being superior intellectually to all other species. Well, how long are you going to let aliens outwit you? It's time to reverse roles.

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.

• Mystery Of Britain’s Clearest UFO Photo From Calvine Incident Will Be Solved In 2072

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).
