China may be to blame for UFOs: Nasa chief says unidentified flying objects are real and may be 'unfriendly' advanced technology
China may be to blame for UFOs: Nasa chief says unidentified flying objects are real and may be 'unfriendly' advanced technology
Nasa experts have warned that UFOs may be advanced technology from China
But some also believe they could genuinely be evidence for life on other planets
UFOs may be 'unfriendly' advanced technology, according toNasa experts.
Unidentified Flying Objects have been in popular culture since at least the 1950s.
While many believe they could be the result of alien life, some experts believe there may be other explanations and could be aircraft from hostile nations.
Dr Thomas Zurbuchen, Nasa's longest-serving associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate, said he remains convinced there is something out there after reading to numerous reports and speaking to witnesses, The Telegraph reported.
Although, he said it is important to question whether Chinese spy balloons might be to blame.
Dr Thomas Zurbuchen is Nasa's longest-serving associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate
It comes after a US fighter pilot shot one down in February as it crossed the Atlantic.
He said: 'The whole balloon phenomenon we cannot ignore because if we ignore what we see then we will suddenly get surprised.'
The UFO expert recently left Nasa for ETH Zurich in his home country of Switzerland.
Before leaving, he examined evidence of UFO sightings thoroughly such as a 1952 photograph of a sighting over Passaic, New Jersey.
Dr Zurbuchen added: 'Not only did I talk to pilots, I talked to individuals who had sightings and they were really convinced. I really felt they told me the subjective truth. They were not lying, they were not making things up. I think they were telling me what they saw.
'The fact that there are unexplained phenomena is not a question for me. What they are and what they mean, and how we prove they exist is something that needs more work.
'There could be multiple explanations. If we are looking at technology then it may not be friendly and that is something we should know. It could be technology from other places on Earth and that would be pretty scary.
'It could be a natural phenomenon like luminescent clouds, or something we've never seen before, and that would be pretty interesting, or it could be some kind of camera problem that occurs.'
There are some experts out there who believe UFOs may genuinely be evidence of alien life
Government officials believe that surveillance operations by foreign powers and weather balloons or other airborne clutter explain most recent incidents of unidentified aerial phenomenon
Prof Greg Eghigian of Penn State University believes that trends and events could have influenced UFO sightings.
He said: 'Like most things in history, the answer lies more likely in a confluence of events and trends.
'The discovery of thousands of exoplanets by astronomers since the 1990s has made life on other planets appear more likely than previously thought and the development of drones has contributed to spikes in UFO sightings.
'The development of new sensors and sophisticated spying technologies has made it possible for militaries to detect anomalies more precisely; it has also made concerns about bad actors surveilling military operations more pressing.
'And speculation about UFOs has always thrived in environments where questions are being raised about the trustworthiness of authorities and experts.'
However, there are still people who believe that UFOs really are evidence of alien life but that space agencies and governments chose to ignore it or are keeping it under wraps.
Dr Rudolph Schild, an astrophysicist with the Centre for Astrophysics at the Harvard-Smithsonian, said: 'In the mid-1960s, after becoming an astrophysicist with the Harvard-Smithosonian, I began to hear rumours that the bodies of extraterrestrials and the wreckage from their craft, were under study in a special facility in Building 18 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
'It was rumoured that a senior colleague with a joint appointment with the physics department at Harvard, had examined the wreckage and seen the bodies. When I questioned him, he became upset and didn't want to talk about it.
'The hearings before the US Congress merely affirmed what many of us had known, or at least strongly suspected for decades. The military has acquired extraterrestrial bodies from the wreckage of UFOs.
'It stands to reason that if UAPs and extraterrestrials have crashed on Earth, then it is equally likely they have crashed to the surface of other planets, and that their remains and wreckage can be found on Mars.'

Unidentified flying objects are real and may be “unfriendly” advanced technology, the former head of Nasa’s UFO inquiry has said, amid renewed interest in the unexplained phenomena.
Dr Thomas Zurbuchen, Nasa’s longest-serving associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate, was asked to head up the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena panel last year.
He recently left the US space agency for ETH Zurich, the renowned public university in his home country of Switzerland.
After reading numerous reports, and speaking to witnesses, who have seen strange objects in the sky, Dr Zurbuchen said he remains convinced there is something out there.

He said: “Not only did I talk to pilots, I talked to individuals who had sightings and they were really convinced. I really felt they told me the subjective truth. They were not lying, they were not making things up. I think they were telling me what they saw.
“The fact that there are unexplained phenomena is not a question for me. What they are and what they mean, and how we prove they exist is something that needs more work.
“There could be multiple explanations. If we are looking at technology then it may not be friendly and that is something we should know. It could be technology from other places on Earth and that would be pretty scary.
“It could be a natural phenomenon like luminescent clouds, or something we’ve never seen before, and that would be pretty interesting, or it could be some kind of camera problem that occurs.”
He said it was important to question whether Chinese spy balloons might be to blame, after one was shot down by US fighter pilots in February as it crossed the Atlantic.
“The whole balloon phenomena we cannot ignore because if we ignore what we see then we will suddenly get surprised,” he added.

Although traditionally people who claimed to see UFOs were labelled as cranks or conspiracy theorists, recent testimony from legitimate sources has led to Nasa taking the issue seriously.
In 2021, Lt Cdr Alex Dietrich, a US Navy pilot, went public for the first time to describe how she had seen multiple UFOs while stationed off the coast of southern California on the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in 2004.
The objects moved impossibly fast, she said, dropping a distance of 80,000ft in less than a second and jumping dozens of miles in seconds, in an incident that was caught on infrared camera and radar.
“It jumped from spot to spot, and tumbled around in a way that was unpredictable,” Lt Cdr Dietrich told 60 Minutes in the US.
“The whole time we’re on the radio with each other just losing our minds.”
‘Pilots were ridiculed’
Cdr David Fravor, also stationed on the USS Nimitz, engaged one of the “Tic Tac”-shaped objects, which he estimated to be 40ft in length. The object disappeared, only to be picked up seconds later on ship radar 60 miles away.
The pilots kept their stories to themselves for more than 15 years after their encounters were dismissed by senior officers.
Dr Zurbuchen said: “The way that the navy pilots were ridiculed I felt for them, it was not done the right way. I’m convinced they were telling the truth about what they saw.
“The most important scientists like Einstein went through a time where traditional science ridiculed them.”
In 2021, the Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force released a report into 144 UFO incidents between 2004 and 2021, many of which were spotted by military pilots.
Even though investigators concluded that there was no evidence the objects had come from outer space, or a foreign adversary, they said that most could not be explained
The report authors said there was no doubt that the UAPs were physical objects, rather than optical illusions caused by atmospheric conditions or sensor malfunctions.
‘Advanced technologies’
Investigators found that 18 objects had propulsion systems that could not be explained, and said they would conduct further analysis to determine if advanced technologies were present.
In July, a US Congressional hearing heard claims from former veterans that the US government was concealing a longstanding programme that retrieves and reverse-engineers UFOs.
It was even claimed the government was in possession of “non-human” biological matter. The Pentagon has denied all the allegations.
Prof Greg Eghigian of Penn State University, an expert in the cultural phenomenon of UFO sightings, believes that a perfect storm of events has led to the recent upsurge in interest in “flying saucers”.
“Like most things in history, the answer lies more likely in a confluence of events and trends,” he said.
“The discovery of thousands of exoplanets by astronomers since the 1990s has made life on other planets appear more likely than previously thought and the development of drones has contributed to spikes in UFO sightings.
“The development of new sensors and sophisticated spying technologies has made it possible for militaries to detect anomalies more precisely; it has also made concerns about bad actors surveilling military operations more pressing.
“And speculation about UFOs has always thrived in environments where questions are being raised about the trustworthiness of authorities and experts.”
Keeping it under wraps
Others are more convinced that there is clear evidence of alien life, but believe space agencies and authorities are either choosing to ignore it, or trying to keep it under wraps.
A recent paper, published in the Journal of Astrobiology asserts that there is evidence of “humanoids, bodies, bones, skulls, UFOs and spacecraft wreckage on Mars”.
The authors claimed that the Nasa rover Curiosity has picked up images of what looked like a burial mound of a ‘‘humanoid on a cushion” less than 350ft from what appears to be a crash site.
One of the authors, Dr Rudolph Schild, an astrophysicist with the Center for Astrophysics at the Harvard-Smithsonian, said: “In the mid-1960s, after becoming an astrophysicist with the Harvard-Smithosonian, I began to hear rumours that the bodies of extraterrestrials and the wreckage from their craft, were under study in a special facility in Building 18 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
“It was rumoured that a senior colleague with a joint appointment with the physics department at Harvard, had examined the wreckage and seen the bodies. When I questioned him, he became upset and didn’t want to talk about it.”
He added: “The hearings before the US Congress merely affirmed what many of us had known, or at least strongly suspected for decades. The military has acquired extraterrestrial bodies from the wreckage of UFOs.
“It stands to reason that if UAPs and extraterrestrials have crashed on Earth, then it is equally likely they have crashed to the surface of other planets, and that their remains and wreckage can be found on Mars.”
Several missions are now looking for life outside of Earth and Dr Zurbuchen said that he hoped that life would be found in his lifetime.
“I really hope so, I think there is a good chance of finding extinct life and perhaps even life now,” he said. “If we find out life happened at least twice in our solar system then that would be a huge leap forward and suggest there is a good chance it also exists elsewhere.”
A spacecraft has delivered fantastic images of Mars, showcasing textured terrain and a lone crater near the planet’s most famous landmark.
Olympus Mons is the Solar System’s largest volcano. It’s so large, that the size of this shield volcano is roughly the size of the state of Arizona, according to NASA. Its height is roughly 2.5 times higher than Mount Everest rises above sea level on Earth, according to the European Space Agency (ESA). New images from Mars Express, a 20-year-old ESA mission, focus on an exciting place at the fringe of the volcano.
“This tan-colored slice of Mars is largely covered by wrinkled, crumpled terrain,” ESA officials write in an image description. Mars Express took the images on January 18, and ESA published them on August 23.
The jagged area that begins on the left is Lycus Sulci. The right side of the image, which features an 8 km-wide crater, points north.
The crunchy-looking patch of elevated land is called Lycus Sulci. “It is not yet understood how this feature formed or how it relates to the formation of Olympus Mons itself,” according to NASA.
However, ESA proposes an explanation. When the volcano’s lava poured out, it encountered bedrock containing ice and water. When it subsequently melted, the rocky rim around Olympus Mons broke off and catalyzed a landslide.
“As the landslides moved away from Olympus Mons and traveled across the Martian surface they became alternately compressed and stretched — crumpled and pulled apart. This created the characteristic wrinkles seen in these new images of Lycus Sulci,” according to ESA.
Mars Express’ images focus on a place where Lycus Sulci meets a creamy-colored plain. A five-mile-wide crater called Yelwa Crater decorates the scene. Yelwa Crater points north.

The images, taken by Mars Express’ High-Resolution Stereo Camera, are accompanied by data about this land’s topography.
Observations like these are critical to understanding Mars’ ancient past. Rocks and formations preserve traces of planetary processes and help scientists narrow down their best guesses about whether or not Mars could have sprung forth and supported life.

“Lower parts of the surface are shown in blues and purples, while higher altitude regions show up in whites and reds, as indicated on the scale to the top right,” Mars Express officials explain in a description of their topographical image.

This view shows where Olympus Mons is located in relation to the plain, Yelwa Crater and Lycus Sulci.
Olympus Mons has a volume that far surpasses Earth’s largest volcano, Mauna Loa on Hawaii. The Martian volcano has a volume “about 100 times larger than that of Mauna Loa,” according to NASA. “In fact, the entire chain of Hawaiian islands (from Kauai to Hawaii) would fit inside Olympus Mons!”
Scientists think the Martian volcano owes its huge size to static surface crust, where the fluid lava can build up over time. According to the space agency, its last eruption was 25 million years ago.
Thanks to robotic missions like Mars Express, scientists have a peek at features impossible to create on Earth.
Shortly after 4:15 pm CST on November 7, 2006, it might have seemed like any ordinary overcast winter afternoon for United Airlines employees outside Gate C17 at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD). Ordinary, except for what looked like a hole in the sky above one of the country’s busiest hubs for international air travel.
Visible in the 1,900 ft cloud base was an almost perfect hole, the apparent footprint left by a round unidentified object that had been seen hovering there just moments earlier before it rapidly ascended, punching through the clouds on its departure.
What unfolded over Chicago that afternoon would become one of the most talked about UAP incidents of the new millennium. Today, what is remembered as the 2006 O’Hare International Airport UAP incident also remains a stark reminder of the potential hazards that aviators face amidst reports involving unrecognized objects that seemingly invade America’s most sensitive airspace with utter disregard for federal aviation ordinances.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said nothing had been detected on radar that afternoon. Still, several employees—and possibly even a few of the pilots and crew aboard outgoing flights—all observed something in the skies above O’Hare.
Above: The air traffic control tower at ORD, as seen in 2019. No radar detections were made of the anomalous object at the time of the Chicago O’Hare UAP incident in 2006 (Credit: Unsplash).
One of the earliest witnesses was a United Airlines employee assisting the pushback of a Boeing 737-500 from gate C17. As the witness would later tell investigators, he was “compelled to look straight up for some reason and was startled to see the craft hovering silently.” Upon seeing the object, the employee radioed to notify the United Airlines Zone 5 control coordinator, then alerted the cockpit crew in the plane next to him about the object, who reportedly opened their windows to observe the object.
Meanwhile, another employee that would soon become a witness learned of the hovering object after hearing his coworkers discussing it over company radios.
“I’m a management employee for a major airline and was sitting in my office at around 1630 on Nov. 7th when an employee made a radio call to our station operations center concerning an object hovering over gate C17,” read a report the witness later anonymously filed with the Seattle, Washington-based National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).
“I ran out of my office and saw a relatively small object hovering in place over C17,” the employee’s account read. “The METAR was reporting OVC 1900 and I initially estimated the object hovering at about 1000 feet.”
“After about a minute, I saw the aircraft zip to the east and disappeared.”
At that time, the employee contacted his operations center, attempting to confirm the presence of the object. Then, while driving to the adjacent concourse to speak with other witnesses to the events, the individual also contacted the FAA. Upon reaching the gate, the management employee spoke with the first witness, who initially reported the object over the radio.
“The employee stated the object was 500-1000 feet above the ground, rotating, and metallic in nature with no lights,” the NUFORC report read. “He said it looked like a frisbee and was directly above.”
“All employees are very familiar with aircraft around the world’s busiest airport,” the report filed with NUFORC added.
“This was nothing we are familiar with.”
Upon receipt of the report, NUFORC director Peter Davenport contacted Jon Hilkevitch, a traffic reporter with the Chicago Tribune. Although the FAA stated that they had detected nothing on their radars, a FOIA request filed by Hilkevitch would later reveal that there had been communications with Air Traffic Control about the object.
“[T]he Federal Aviation Administration said its air traffic control tower at O’Hare did receive a call from a United supervisor asking if controllers had spotted a mysterious elliptical-shaped craft sitting motionless over Concourse C of the United terminal,” Hilkevitch wrote in a column on January 1, 2007.
“No controllers saw the object,” he added, “and a preliminary check of radar found nothing out of the ordinary, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said.”

Hilkevitch also interviewed several of the witnesses, including those who reached out to NUFORC following their sighting.
“I tend to be scientific by nature,” recalled one witness, a United mechanic who had been in the cockpit of a Boeing 777 taxiing to a maintenance hangar at the time of the incident. “I don’t understand why aliens would hover over a busy airport.”
“But I know that what I saw,” the mechanic told Hilkevitch, “and what a lot of other people saw stood out very clearly, and it definitely was not an [Earth] aircraft.”
Whatever the object may have been that these witnesses saw just before sundown on November 7, 2006, remains unknown. However, details about the seemingly unearthly encounter—particularly the strange, circular hole left in the clouds as the object departed—have caused some experts to wonder about how the mechanics behind such an aircraft, if that’s indeed what it was, might operate.
THE CHICAGO O’HARE UAP INCIDENT: A CASE FOR A WARP DRIVE?
According to a group of more than 30 Ph.D. physicists, witness descriptions of the famous 2006 incident are suggestive in many ways of an advanced form of propulsion that may one day revolutionize space travel.
Applied Physics first came to note in 2021 with the publication of a novel theory produced by its team members, which outlined the hypothetical function of a physical warp drive. Similarities between the concept outlined in their 2021 study, along with certain witness testimony from the 2006 Chicago O’Hare UAP incident, prompted them to perform an analysis that they say revealed several aspects which seemed to match the characteristics expected of a craft employing a warp drive.
Those similarities include the way the craft reportedly moved, along with other features that included its shape, lack of radar signature, and the way it seemingly punched a hole through the cloud deck above it as it left the scene.
Members of the Applied Physics team The Debrief communicated with are quick to note that their analysis is based purely on witness testimony and should not be conveyed as “proof” that what witnesses observed an extraterrestrial spacecraft or other technology employing a functional warp drive.
However, the company’s science team and their analysis do offer potentially meaningful context for the quality of the witness testimony regarding the 2006 Chicago O’Hare UAP incident. It also suggests that, while still speculative, a craft displaying warp drive capabilities could be an explanation that best fits the majority of the witness reports.
OBSERVATION 1: THE SHAPE OF THE CRAFT AS DESCRIBED BY WITNESSES
Notably, several witnesses to the 2006 incident observed what was described as most closely resembling a disc or saucer-shaped craft hovering over Gate C-17.
Dr. Alexey Bobrick, Chief Science Officer (CSO) at Applied Physics, told The Debrief that a saucer-shaped craft with a cupola on top, which has been prominently reported in many UFO observations throughout the decades, would actually be an ideal shape for many known warp drive designs, as proposed in the paper “Introducing Physical Warp Drives,” published by the Advanced Propulsion Laboratory (APL) at Applied Physics.
Applied Physics provided The Debrief with a short scientific explanation for why a flatter shape is beneficial for Alcubierre-like metrics, which can be viewed in the following slides:

“Some models of warp drive spacetimes suggest that the shape of the spacecraft, and the resulting geometry of spacetime bending, could significantly reduce energy requirements,” Bobrick told The Debrief. “Depending on the specific design of the warp drive, the passenger-holding craft may benefit from a saucer or spherical shape per the laws of general relativity.”
OBSERVATION 2: THE MOVEMENT OF CHICAGO O’HARE UAP
In their analysis, the Applied Physics team said that there is no known aircraft that can hover in place and then accelerate directly upward at the extreme rate many of the witnesses described.
“From the (witness testimony), it seems reasonable to claim that a metallic object around 50 feet in diameter was hovering ~1,500 feet above a passenger gate at an international airport within regulated airspace,” said Brandon Melcher, Ph.D., one of the physicists behind the team’s analysis. “After some time, the object accelerated from 0 to about ~1,000-2,000 feet per second almost instantaneously.”
Although some modern drones are capable of sudden, fast vertical acceleration from a hovering position, most unmanned aerial vehicles currently in use do not bear the saucer-shape appearance of the craft in question (with a few notable exceptions), and none have been shown to accelerate at the speed many of the witnesses to the Chicago O’Hare UAP incident described.
OBSERVATION 3: THE LACK OF RADAR SIGNATURE
According to data available in past reports on the 2006 incident, the airport’s radar operators were unable to detect anything on their scopes corresponding to the target described hovering over terminal C17.
“It is interesting to note the absence of any radar evidence of an object in this case,” Melcher told The Debrief. “The Alcubierre warp drive also causes light rays approaching from behind to bounce off the bubble, but away from their initial trajectory.
According to Melcher, if this object were an Alcubierre warp drive, “the radar cross-section would be incredibly small.”
“One fascinating effect of warp bubbles is how they also explain the lack of radar signal,” Melcher says. “Light rays propagating from behind seem to diverge away from the bubble center, masking its detection. This would explain why there was no radar ping to the object allegedly hovering over the passenger gate at ORD. If the light gets deflected away from the object, there will be no radar pings.
OBSERVATION 4: THE HOLE IN THE CLOUDS
Among the most novel aspects of the event, and one rarely reported in other UFO cases, involves the testimony that after the craft accelerated vertically, it left behind a distinct hole in the clouds. This component, according to the physicists at Applied Physics, is also consistent with a warp drive spacecraft.
“In our study of (proposed warp drive) solutions, we have found that the Alcubierre warp drive (the first warp metric) appears to induce…behaviors that match the observed phenomena,” Melcher told The Debrief. “This warp drive acts as a focusing lens for material caught up in front of the craft.
“As the bubble passes through a given medium, the particles in front of it move along with the craft for some time, creating a hole due to the time mismatch between the at-rest particles traversing the width of the bubble and the time it takes the bubble to move through the cloud.”7

Based on Melcher and the team’s interpretation of warp theory, a craft that raced through a cloud bank like the one present at the time of the 2006 incident would likely produce a hole nearly identical to the one that the witnesses described seeing at the time.
The Applied Physics team does note, however, that there are well-known natural conditions that can also produce circular openings in cloud layers.
“There is a phenomenon called fallstreak holes, or hole-punch clouds,” Melcher says. “Sometimes, clouds in the sky become supercooled. The temperature of the water vapor in the cloud is below freezing at this point, but no seed forms to induce freezing. When a plane or other object flies through such a cloud, it is possible that the pressure differential behind the wings or fins can create or drop a seed of ice. The resulting rapid freezing of the cloud appears as a hole with a central bit of “snowfall,” and the frozen cloud falls as snow for a little bit.”
“Typical flight paths do not take ascending or descending planes directly over airport terminals,” Melcher says, making such a method of departure for any kind of aircraft over one of the world’s busiest airports “a highly unusual and dangerous case.”
“If a plane did indeed create [the] fallstreak hole, it would represent one of the most severe violations of US airspace ever recorded, as it put thousands of civilian lives at risk,” Melcher adds.
OBSERVATION 5: RELIABILITY OF WITNESS TESTIMONY
“The witness testimony that has been reported on in the news… bears a number of interesting features,” Melcher and the team told The Debrief.
“The first is the variety of professions and locations from which this object was allegedly seen. The main reports come from taxi mechanics near the C17 gate, above which this object hovered. There was at least one air traffic controller that heard reports of the object and inquired, and there was at least one observer who was driving into the airport and watched the object with other bystanders.
Melcher and the team also noted that while all the reports bear a resemblance to each other, they do not seem contrived and do not necessarily borrow elements from one to the other, but instead provide details that are consistent throughout.
“It appears most public witnesses did not know each other as well,” Melcher says. “We cannot be 100% sure of eye-witness testimony, but those which have been preserved here do not contain major red flags as to reliability.”
CONCLUSIONS: ASSESSING THE CHICAGO O’HARE UAP INCIDENT
The team at Applied Physics concedes that with the data currently available, they cannot discount some earthly explanations, a few of which may involve novel possibilities. One might include a U.S. stealth drone which, they note, “could explain the secrecy and cover-up surrounding the event.” However, the team remains skeptical of this explanation on account of a lack of supporting evidence.
Other possibilities may include unusual weather phenomena or other potentially natural or manmade sources, although there are no widely recognized phenomena that appear to fit all the characteristics of the events observed in 2006.
The Applied Physics team also offered their thoughts on the stigma surrounding incidents like the Chicago O’Hare UAP case, especially for airline pilots and airport personnel who report them.
“The NARCAP report on the incident (written within a few months of its occurrence) made an interesting point about the stigma associated with reporting UAPs in the air transport and air defense industries,” Melcher told The Debrief. “If an object like this truly existed, it could pose a significant security risk. By discrediting and belittling those who report such events, we risk overlooking something that could be real.
“Disparagement has never led to progress or the discovery of truth. Therefore, it is crucial to fund departments such as the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which collects vast amounts of data on UAPs to synchronize efforts across all branches of the Department of Defense.”
“The only way to fully investigate sightings like this is to gather more data,” Melcher concludes. “The level of reluctance expressed by several witnesses should be a cause for concern, which is why we must remove this dangerous stigma.”
“Pursuing the truth should be the norm, not suppressing facts and scientific discourse.”
The Applied Physics team cautions that they do not intend their observations to be interpreted to mean they have concluded an alien spacecraft employing warp drive was observed over Illinois in 2006. Such conclusions cannot be drawn solely from witness reports, and would require irrefutable physical data.
However, the team is of the opinion that the behavior of the observed object, as reported by witnesses, aligns with their current understanding of how any warp drive propulsion system would function according to the laws of physics, an achievement that has not yet been made by humans.
“It is essential to note that proposing that the object seen during the Chicago O’Hare UAP incident [employed] a warp drive begs the question of its origins,” Melcher told The Debrief.
“Even though we have made progress on understanding certain aspects of warp drives, huge theoretical and practical gaps remain as obstacles to warp drive construction,” he says, adding that the idea such technology could have somehow been produced on Earth outside the knowledge of mainstream science and engineering “defies our belief.”
Despite this, the Applied Physics team is doubtful the object observed in 2006 could be confidently attributed to extraterrestrials either, emphasizing “the statistical probability that this object was an alien craft is extremely low,” but that Melcher, Bobrick, and the team at Applied Physics “find it fascinating to examine the correlations between UFO sightings and scientific claims regarding hyper-fast travel solutions in general relativity.”
Gianni Martire, CEO of Applied Physics, says, “The exciting thing here is that we can actually answer these types of questions with math and physics. If this were how these topics were presented in school, I think we all would have paid a lot more attention!”
Ultimately, the team’s analysis of the event was intended as a fun thought exercise to educate and inspire, with the hope of challenging scientific stigmas and encouraging people to ask tough and brave questions.
“Math enables the framework to measure,” Melcher says, “but our characters give us the ability to ask.”

German aerospace company POLARIS Raumflugzeuge is advancing in its ambitions to produce disruptive aerospace technologies with a recent series of test flight demonstrations in advance of the development of AURORA, the company’s next-generation spaceplane concept with a name already familiar to longtime aviation enthusiasts.
Drawing from more than three decades of combined German and European aerospace research, the company’s focus mainly involves the development of reusable space launch capabilities and the production of a versatile hypersonic transport system capable of maintaining the ability to operate like a traditional aircraft.
In recent months, successful test flights involving demonstrator aircraft have allowed POLARIS to validate several crucial technologies, and the company is now approaching the development of a new demonstrator craft that will represent the final test before it begins production of its ambitious next-generation spaceplane.
AURORA: THE SPACEPLANE OF TOMORROW
AURORA, an innovative spaceplane design that combines the rocket launch capabilities the company is currently testing with traditional air flight modes, has its origins in early innovations that began at the German Aerospace Center DLR. The result, the company says, is a vehicle with a design unlike any other, which POLARIS says will provide an economical means of access to space in the years ahead.
Among its key benefits, AURORA will offer worldwide space launch capabilities without any need for a launch pad, as the spaceplane’s aircraft-like operation allows it to take off from any traditional runway. Eliminating the need for a launch pad also greatly reduces fuel costs associated with traditional rocket-driven spaceflight.

AURORA will be capable of carrying payloads greater than 2200 pounds (1000 kg) in orbit, and roughly ten times that amount for suborbital/hypersonic flight. In keeping with the company’s objectives to develop sustainable aerospace technologies, AURORA is also designed with close to 100% system reusability.
DEFENSE, RESEARCH, AND BEYOND
With its versatility and sustainable design, POLARIS expects that its spaceplane will be equipped to meet the demands of a variety of markets, enabling satellite and orbital cargo launch operations with relative ease and significantly reducing flight times, enabling swift, economical delivery of payloads across great distances in record time.
However, its defense and research applications are evident, as AURORA will be capable of reaching any orbit inclination and is already being touted as a potential solution for hypersonic reconnaissance and a variety of other defense applications.
While AURORA will be designed to function as an unmanned aircraft, POLARIS says it will offer an optional upgrade of its spaceplane that will facilitate human transport, enabling flights capable of carrying passengers for research and training purposes and a range of other potential spaceflight missions.
THE MYSTIQUE OF THE FABLED AURORA
The aircraft’s name seems to be no accident, either. In the 1990s, AURORA had been the alleged name of an aerospace development project aiming to build the successor aircraft to the famous SR-71.
In fact, as early as January 1979, Aviation Week & Space Technology reported rumors about the development of a “Mach 4, 200,000-ft.-altitude aircraft that could be a follow-on to the Lockheed SR-71 strategic reconnaissance vehicle in the 1990s,” which it reported “has been defined by the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Division and Lockheed.”
Efforts to determine whether such a spacecraft had indeed ever been developed continued for years, prompting the Federation of American Scientists to investigate “observations of mysterious aerial phenomena” which began to be “connected with the 1988 reports that Aurora was a Mach 6 stealthy reconnaissance aircraft that was being developed to replace the SR-71.”
Ultimately, it was never determined whether such an unacknowledged aircraft truly existed. Kelly Johnson, who developed both the SR-71 and its predecessor, the U-2, during his time with Lockheed, later said the name “Aurora” had been the code name for funding of an Air Force black program which later leaked during congressional appropriations hearings, prompting the media to presume it involved a secret hypersonic aircraft.
“Although I expect few in the media to believe me,” Johnson later wrote, “there is no code name for the hypersonic plane, because it simply doesn’t exist.”
While Johnson maintained the U.S. had never successfully developed a hypersonic successor to the SR-71, not surprisingly, invocation of the fabled aircraft’s name has been seen again and again by various agencies and aerospace companies in recent years.
Now, perhaps by the end of the decade, POLARIS appears to be the latest company poised to bring its version of AURORA out of the shadows of modern space-age mythology and into reality.
TECHNOLOGY VALIDATION AND THE PATH TO AURORA
POLARIS has announced that it expects to begin flight with its light spaceplane by as early as 2026, with a heavy vehicle that will become operational by the early 2030s.
In advance of AURORA’s development, the company has undertaken technology validation with the production of several scaled flight demonstrators.
Chandrayaan-3 hits an important scientific milestone.

On Aug. 23, thanks to the success of Chandrayaan-3, India made a strong mark in space history. Not only did it become the first nation to land a spacecraft near the south pole of the moon, but also the fourth to create imprints on Earth's gleaming companion at all. However, the lunar lander's touchdown was only step one of its ultimate story.
Since reaching the moon's south pole, Chandrayaan-3 has been hard at work – having deployed a rover named Pragyan to explore the cratered surface, harnessed integrated cameras to send back videos of its environment and even started completing research objectives planned for a two-week stay on the orb.
On Saturday (Aug. 26), for instance, scientists with the Indian Space Research Organization presented a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) of Pragyan roaming around the mission's landing point, which has been named the Shiv Shakti Point. In the video, the gold-colored moon explorer is seen on the other end of two delicate tracks it has created in lunar soil since exiting the lander that ushered it over there, named Vikram. The gingerly way Pragyan treads on a desolate gray world is almost charming.

Shortly after releasing this update, ISRO also posted a sort of checklist on X saying that, after successful completion of a safe and soft landing as well as Pragyan's deployment, Chandrayaan-3 has begun conducting scientific experiments on site. "All payloads are performing normally," the agency posted on X.
That prelude to lunar south pole science was quickly elaborated upon when, on Sunday (Aug. 27), ISRO posted yet another update on X regarding one of Chandrayaan-3's payloads called the ChaSTE experiment, or Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment.
The purpose of this experiment, in essence, is to use a temperature probe as well as 10 individual temperature sensors to measure temperature profiles of lunar south pole soil. The goal, ISRO explains, is for ChaSTE to help scientists understand what the thermal behavior of the moon's surface is like. And, as it appears, ChaSTE has already found some stuff out.
Illustrated by a graph ISRO released, the experimen has probed various temperatures of the moon's surface at different depths, marking the "first such profile for the lunar south pole."

Detailed observations on that front, the agency noted, are still underway – but if you're wondering what Pragyan is up to, the last we heard, it has come across a dangerous crater. Due to the nature of the lunar south pole, hazards such as this are kind of expected. In fact, that's a major reason for why Chandrayaan-3's landing was such a massive occasion. Though everyone wants to get to the lunar south pole — because it's expected to host solid quantities of water ice — actually landing there is tough because the region is so very covered in craters.
Just about 3 meters (nearly 10 feet) from its location on Sunday (Aug. 27), the rover spotted a crater that seemed to be about 4 meters (13 feet) wide. "The rover was commanded to retrace the path," ISRO posted on X, "It's now safely heading on a new path."

John Ramirez, a former CIA official with 25 years of experience, has been sharing the knowledge he gained about UAPs in the course of his work since 2021. He possesses a wealth of information and experience on the subject of UAPs and the U.S. intelligence organization. Due to his revelations of UAP riddles that had never been discussed in public by government officials, he established himself as an influential figure on social media. Among all his claims, the most surprising reveal is about the alleged human-hybridization programs. He strongly believes that the 1947 Roswell crash happened and its occupants that were unlike humans were recovered.
The recent tweet on retired CIA Officer John Ramirez by investigative Journalist Ross Coulthart has opened up a new channel to discuss the topics that were considered fringe before. The UAP phenomenon is becoming more intense and mysterious with more credible sources, bringing new information. Coulthart questions why the US government lied about the Roswell crash.
Coulthart’s tweet mentions Ramirez’s interview with Martin Willis Live Shows, where he revealed the never-told information on the Roswell UFO crash, alien occupants and their DNA that only came out after World War II. Ramirez discussed an unclassified meeting he attended about “modern human origins,” his personal thoughts on the subject, his own personal experiences, and the UFO connection between him and several of his colleagues that led to their careers.
John Ramirez served at the CIA Directorate of Science and Technology, Directorate of Intelligence, and ODNI National Counterproliferation Center between 1984 and 2009. At the CIA, he was a chief intelligence analyst specializing in ballistic missile defense, weapon system radars, and technical collection activities. He was the SIGINT expert and multi-discipline collection needs strategist at the NCPC. Ramirez served in the US Navy as an Electronics Warfare Technician aboard surface ships from 1973 to 1979. He majored in political science at George Washington University, Washington, DC, and graduated in 1983.
Ramirez says that he attended a one-day symposium at a hotel in 2001 that was unclassified, about which he was himself surprised. He recalled the story went back to after World War II. He said that the CIA was interested in the hybridization of humans, and he was told by two top officials (their names are classified) that they discovered an alien DNA in the human genome.
“I give credence to the fact that Roswell actually happened. I will believe personally that bodies were recovered and if these bodies were examined and then their DNA was examined and they know what that alien genome looks like and they look at humans and they can identify the same sequences in the human genome. I think that was what led them to believe that there’s a hybridization of humans and they further said in this one-day symposium that… they have not only alien DNA but enhanced alien DNA.”
“We know that Roswell happened in July of 47… if we believe in Colonel Corso, if you believe in eyewitnesses, if we believe the Roswell’s story then we know that the bodies were recovered. We have to believe that those bodies were examined somewhere and we have to believe that they were able to sequence something in those bodies that look like a genome and from there they checked the human genome and saw the correlations. That’s what I believe because that’s what I was told. I don’t have any evidence of that but by releasing these names I would hope that serious researchers and journalists would contact these people and try to get the story. If they would even admit to the story but I heard it with my own ears,” Ramirez said.
Many netzines refute to accept Ramirez’s narrative of Roswell’s alien DNA story as they believe DNA was discovered in 1953. That is not true. Ramirez is correct: “DNA was discovered in 1869 by Swiss researcher Friedrich Miescher, who was originally trying to study the composition of lymphoid cells (white blood cells).”
Then, in the decades that followed Miescher’s discovery, other scientists, notably Phoebus Levene and Erwin Chargaff, conducted a series of studies that revealed additional characteristics about the DNA molecule, such as its fundamental chemical components and the manner in which they were connected. Watson and Crick’s ground-breaking conclusion of 1953, that the DNA molecule exists in the form of a three-dimensional double helix, may never have been achieved without the scientific groundwork supplied by these pioneers.

Ramirez made an intriguing statement in response to the rumor that the US government is reluctant to discuss the potential UFO occupants. The U.S. Air Force may be partially to blame for this current stance, according to Ramirez. However, not for obvious reasons. He commented:
“The air force and their exploitation of that type of technology made a mess of things, as when people see the triangular craft, and they’re not flying in space but in our atmosphere, it points to the fact that we know what the triangles are and we want people to think they’re seeing UFOs because then people won’t know exactly what they’re seeing.”
Some others believed Ramirez’s assertion that the USAF might be to blame for reports of triangular aircraft — dubbed the TR3B by some — may be true. Tom Delonge hinted that the US government controlled these ships on the Joe Rogan Experience, but he also said that some of them belonged to other intelligence. Delonge asserted that triangle-shaped ship, presuming they have tail fins, represent technological advancements made by humans.
Moreover, Ramirez also stated in an interview with Project Unity that humans are hybrids. According to him, Elizondo is unable to use the word “hybridization,” but the Pentagon employees are counting on him to do so eventually. Elizondo discussed the possibility that non-human intelligence have been in contact with humans for a very long time on the Theories of Everything podcast. This would imply that we have all forgotten about our own past, which would hide the possibility that we are hybrids of humans and extraterrestrials.

Alien technology? Harvard professor finds fragments that could be of otherworldly origin
Alien technology? Harvard professor finds fragments that could be of otherworldly origin
Harvard professor Avi Loeb's team was combing the floor of the Pacific Ocean looking for remnants from a 2014 asteroid strike when they turned up something unmatched in our solar system.
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.
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.

COURTESY OF AVI LOEB
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."
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
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.
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.
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.
De wolken op Neptunus komen en gaan, maar waarom dat gebeurt, was tot nu toe een raadsel. Astronomen hebben nu ontdekt dat de elfjarige cyclus van de zon er iets mee te maken heeft.
Elke ongeveer elf jaar keert de polariteit van de magnetische velden van de zon om. Dat gaat gepaard met hevige zonnevlammen en een toename van het aantal zonnevlekken. Op het moment dat de activiteit piekt, storten de magnetische velden in en draaien de polen om. Dan komt de zon weer tot rust om uiteindelijk weer aan een nieuwe cyclus te beginnen.
Heel ver van de zon Dat dit invloed heeft op de wolken van Neptunus, is opmerkelijk, omdat de planeet zo ongelooflijk ver van de zon af staat. Slechts 0,1 procent van het zonlicht dat de Aarde bereikt, komt op Neptunus aan. En toch worden de wolken op de planeet beïnvloed door zonneactiviteit en niet door de vier seizoenen, die ieder zo’n veertig jaar duren op Neptunus.
De ontdekking ging niet over één nacht ijs: de Hubble, NASA’s beroemde ruimtetelescoop, heeft Neptunus zeker dertig jaar geobserveerd. Daarnaast zijn er data van het W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawai gebruikt plus observaties van het Lick Observatory in Californië.
Wolken weg Daardoor zagen de astronomen in 2019 de wolken vrij plotseling wegtrekken. “Ik was verbaasd hoe snel wolken verdwijnen op Neptunus”, zegt Imke de Pater, emerita professor aan UC Berkeley. “We zagen binnen een paar maanden de wolkenactiviteit inzakken.” En die wolken keerden niet zomaar terug. “Zelfs nu nog, vier jaar later, zien we op de meest recente beelden van afgelopen juni dat de wolken nog niet op hun oude niveau zijn”, vertelt onderzoeker Erandi Chavez. “Dit is extreem spannend en onverwacht, zeker omdat de vorige periode waarin er weinig wolken waren op Neptunus lang niet zo heftig was en veel korter duurde.”
Woest weer De beelden van onder meer de Hubble onthullen een intrigerend wolkenpatroon gebaseerd op de seizoenen en de zonnecyclus. Als het woest weer is op de zon stroomt er meer intense uv-straling het zonnestelsel in. De onderzoekers ontdekten dat twee jaar na de piek van de zonnecyclus het aantal wolken op Neptunus toeneemt. Ook bleek er een link tussen het aantal wolken en de helderheid van de ijsreus door het zonlicht dat op de planeet reflecteert.

“Deze opmerkelijke data leveren het sterkste bewijs tot nu toe dat de dikte van het wolkendek op Neptunus samenhangt met de zonnecyclus”, zegt De Pater. “Onze bevindingen ondersteunen de theorie dat de uv-straling van de zon, als die maar sterk genoeg is, een fotochemische reactie in gang kan zetten, waardoor wolken ontstaan op de planeet.”
Vertraging Aangezien een zonnecyclus elf jaar duurt, waren de wetenschappers wel even bezig om een verband aan te tonen met de wolken op Neptunus. Ze volgden gedurende 29 jaar 2,5 cyclus aan wolkenactiviteit. In deze periode nam de helderheid van de planeet toe in 2002 en dimde weer in 2007. De planeet werd weer helder in 2015 en donkerder in 2020, toen het aantal wolken een dieptepunt bereikte.
De helderheid van Neptunus, die wordt veroorzaakt door de zon, lijkt in dezelfde mate toe- en af te nemen als de wolken op de planeet, al zit er wel enige vertraging in: de piek van de zonnecyclus komt twee jaar voor de piek van het wolkendek op Neptunus. Dat komt doordat er een fotochemische reactie plaatsvindt in de bovenste laag van de atmosfeer van Neptunus en het duurt even voor er dan wolken worden gevormd.
Nog veel te leren “Het is fascinerend dat we telescopen op Aarde kunnen gebruiken om het klimaat te bestuderen van een wereld die miljarden kilometers bij ons vandaan is”, zegt astronoom van het Keck Observatory, Carlos Alvarez. “Technologische vooruitgang en betere observatiemogelijkheden hebben ervoor gezorgd dat we betere modellen konden maken van de atmosfeer van Neptunus. Die waren cruciaal om de correlatie te begrijpen tussen het klimaat van de ijsreus en de zonnecyclus.”
De wolken op Neptunus in relatie tot de zonnecyclus. Afbeelding: NASA, ESA, LASP, Erandi Chavez (UC Berkeley), Imke de Pater (UC Berkeley)
Maar de astronomen begrijpen nog lang niet alles. Zo kan een toename van de uv-straling van de zon meer wolken produceren, maar ze ook donkerder maken en zo de helderheid van Neptunus juist verminderen. Stormen op Neptunus hebben ook invloed op het wolkendek maar zijn niet gerelateerd aan fotochemisch geproduceerde wolken. Die kunnen daardoor correlatiestudies met de zonnecyclus compliceren. Ook zijn er nog meer observatie van Neptunus nodig om te zien hoe lang de huidige bijna afwezigheid van wolken duurt.
Neptunus versus exoplaneten “We hebben al meer wolken gezien op de meest recente Keck-beelden, die in dezelfde tijd zijn gemaakt als waarin de James Webb-telescoop de planeet observeerde. Deze wolken zijn vooral waargenomen op noordelijke breedtegraden en op grote hoogte, precies zoals verwacht na de geobserveerde toename van uv-straling in de afgelopen twee jaar”, zegt De Pater.
De gecombineerde data van de Hubble, James Web en de twee observatoria op Aarde zullen ook in de toekomst nog veel nieuwe info opleveren over het dynamische bestaan van de planeet. Zo leren we niet alleen Neptunus beter begrijpen, maar mogelijk ook verre exoplaneten, aangezien er waarschijnlijk vele zijn die op Neptunus lijken.
Over the past few weeks, team members of the Galileo Project engaged in a truly heroic effort to assemble the first telescope system at Harvard University.
The Galileo Project is a scientific search program for extraterrestrial equipment near Earth. The Project was publicly announced one month after the ODNI report to the US Congress about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in June 2021. The Project’s name was inspired by Galileo Galilei’s legacy of finding answers to fundamental questions, in this case the nature of UAP, by looking through new telescopes.
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 isa 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 duringcongressional 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.
Avi Loeb is the head of the Galileo Project, founding director of Harvard University’s – Black Hole Initiative, director of the Institute for Theory and Computation at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and the former chair of the astronomy department at Harvard University (2011-2020). He chairs the advisory board for the Breakthrough Starshot project, and is a former member of the President’s Council of Advisors onScience and Technology and a former chair of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies. He is the bestselling author of “Extraterrestrial:The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” and a co-author of the textbook “Life in the Cosmos”, both published in 2021.
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.”
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)
Giant Spider Aliens, Barnacles Solve MH370 Disappearance, Loch Ness Caves Discovered, Texas Chupacabra Photographed and More Mysterious News Briefly
Giant Spider Aliens, Barnacles Solve MH370 Disappearance, Loch Ness Caves Discovered, Texas Chupacabra Photographed and More Mysterious News Briefly
Paul Seaburn
A roundup of mysterious, paranormal and strange news stories from the past week.
Paige Daley of the TikTok Official Loch Ness channel organized a recent search at Loch Ness and found that the loch has a subterranean cave system with multiple entrances and flooded underground passages located adjacent to the loch shore, well hidden by undergrowth and linked to the loch by just 100 meters of river – researchers are suggesting this could be a pace for the Loch Ness monster to hide and possibly venture onto land, as many early sightings claimed. Whether it’s true or not, someone is no doubt already thinking about building an underwater hotel and 24/7 Nessie aqua-cam.
Rocker and UFO researcher Tom DeLonge speculates on X (formerly Twitter) that the government may have kept UFO information secret not from us but from extraterrestrials or “Others” so that they wouldn’t know that we were aware of them; he also says that people in government working on UFO problems are “patriots, morally sound, and doing the best they can. Some made errors, worked in an ambiguous lack of oversight. But- What would we each do if we were burdened with this…”. Can you say he’s right even if you don’t like Blink-182?
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation surveyed where Australians stand on resurrecting the extinct thylacine or Tasmanian tiger by editing the genome of a related species (the dunnart) and gestating it in a related surrogate and found that 68 percent support bringing it back while 24 percent didn’t like the idea and 8 percent were undecided. It says something when you can get more people to agree on resurrecting a dead species than on which live person they would vote for.
In the never-ending quest to solve the mystery of the 2014 disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, a study in the American Geophysical Union journal Advances revealed new tools for analyzing the chemistry of barnacle shell layers may be used to determine the origin of stalked or goose barnacles attached to airplane wreckage that washed up on the island of Réunion and is encrusted with the barnacles – the tools could analyze the shell layers and identify via ocean temperature indicators what parts of the ocean the plane debris floated through and potentially lead back to the crash. Keep that in mind when you don’t want anyone to know where you sail your boat.
The Crooked House pub in the small village of Himley in the West Midlands was famous for its age (it dates back to 1765), for being haunted, and for its tilting structure which caused sober people to walk as if drunk, but it made national news in early August due to a mysterious fire, which led to it being demolished without planning permission – the Black Country Paranormal volunteered to guard the site, protect the brinks from vandals and look for the ghost of a pub barmaid named Polly and any other ghosts until the issue is resolved. Locals who want the Crooked House pub rebuilt should be prepared for some ‘lean’ times.
If you live in the UK or fancy a vacation there and you’re a UFO buff, the car rental company Stressfreecarrental.com has put together a 1,000 mile road trip around the UK that takes you to many of the most famous UFO sites there, starting with Devon, home of a recent sighting at Maidencombe Beach, to Wales’s Pembrokeshire, location of the Broad Haven Primary School sighting by a group of students – the trip also includes the big ones, like Perthshire where the Calvine UFO photograph was taken, and Suffolk, home of the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident. “There’s UFOs in Inverness too,” said the suddenly lonely Loch Ness monster.
Astronomers are concerned that hackers have been targeting space telescopes in Hawaii and Chile since the beginning of August, forcing them to be temporarily shut down while technicians work to build more firewalls against cyberattacks – some astronomers suspect the hackers don’t even realized they are attacking space telescopes. They probably figure it out when no one wants to buy their pictures of Betelgeuse or the Dog Star.
While one group explores Loch Ness caves and another plans a massive hunt with sonar, drones and hundreds of volunteers, an ‘official’ sighting was reported by tourist Steve Valentine from Urmston in Manchester, who saw a “black shape in the water” while on a Deepscan boat tour which was returning to the dock near to Urquhart Castle – he managed to take a photo, which is magnified on the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register. While the shape is hard to identify, it’s interesting that the site is called a ‘register’ and not a ‘log’.
Even Nesie is looking.
The mysterious disappearance of wealthy New Yorker Michael Rockefeller on a trip to Papua New Guinea in 1961 may have finally been solved and it’s not as gruesome as the speculation that he was killed by locals – a recently resurfaced film taken near where Rockefeller disappeared in the jungles about 40 year after he was presumed dead shows a naked bearded white man rowing a canoe with Asmat tribal warriors, implying that Rockefeller may have ‘gone native’ and chose to disappear. Did he leave any instructions on how to do it? (Asking for a rich friend.)
Mexican UFO researcher Jaime Maussan announced that the first of its kind hearing on UFOs to be held in the Mexican Congress will occur on September 12 and will feature Ryan Graves, the former Navy pilot who recently testified before the US Congress about his aerial encounters with unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), along with people from other countries who will reveal details about their encounters and answer questions from the Congress and the media. After this one, let’s replace the hearings with some ‘seeings’.
From the “Octopuses are Really Smart” file comes more evidence supporting the case – octopus biologists from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago found thousands of octopus huddled together at the bottom of the ocean off the central California coast and discovered that they were sitting on their eggs in natural hot tubs to help them hatch faster … the hot tubs were heated by hot gases seeping from the base of an extinct underwater volcano. Female octopuses are so smart, they don’t tell the males where the hot tubs are.
A new study, "An Exploration of Mars Colonization with Agent-Based Modeling,” determined via simulations that the minimum number of people required to colonize Mars is just 22, and that of the four most common personality types – Agreeables (not competitive nor aggressive), Socials (extroverted and require social interaction), Reactives (have a “competitive interpersonal orientation”) and Neurotics (very competitive and aggressive) – the Neurotics had the highest chance of dying and were most likely to suffer while living on the colony, to the point that colony would improve as the Neurotics died off. This will make the reality shows from Mars much less fun to watch.
Patrick Perry of Shell Knob in rural Missouri claims he has been hearing wood knocks in the woods near his home with suggested to him there was a Bigfoot nearby, so he left a jar of peanut butter outside one night; the next morning, he found the lid of the jar removed and something with "big fingers" took a big scoop of peanut butter out of it – some viewing the photo think it was a person, others suggest it was a racoon that used its little hands to open the jar. One thing we know for certain – choosy Bigfoots choose Jif.
I smell peanut butter!
Some experts say the Silent Ventus drone, made by Florida-based start-up Undefined Technologies, uses ion propulsion where electrodes ionize the air to generate thrust, allowing it to fly incredibly quietly, hover against winds – leading them to speculate that the Tic Tac UFOs reported and recorded by pilots and personnel on a mission with the USS Nimitz off the Southern California coast in 2004 could have been similar drones rather than non-human-made aircraft. The only people happy with this new debate are the makers of Tic Tacs.
To commemorate the 1965 UFO sighting which inspired John G. Fuller to write the book, “Incident at Exeter” and prompted an investigation by the United States Air Force, the Exeter Police Department in New Hampshire has created a special patch that will be sold at the upcoming Exeter UFO Festival on Labor Day weekend – the patch features an alien wearing a police hat and the proceeds will benefit Proceeds will benefit the department's program for providing support dogs to veterans and first responders. Aliens should be warned that wearing the patch will not get them out of a ticket for speeding.
In an exclusive interview, psychic spoon bender Uri Geller predicted that there will be an extraterrestrial landing “in the coming 10 to 20 years” that will not be an invasion but a revelation that there are “maybe two or three species out there” that could have destroyed us if they wanted to – it will be a “Steven Spielberg type landing” and the “the biggest revelation in history - religiously, archaeologically, everything. It will be like finding the Arc of the Covenant." Uri also predicted that England would win the FIFA Women’s World Cup (Spain did), so don’t place any bets just yet.
If those aliens really do show up, evolution expert Richard Dawkins said in an interview that they hailed from a similar planet to Earth they would probably look like humans, but they could just as easily come from a planet with different gravity and look more like spiders the size of elephants or a mouse built like a rhinoceros. Let’s hope the gravity makes them look like tribbles.
In a new study published in PLOS ONE, biological anthropologists and archaeologists from Kyushu University used 2D images and 3D scans to analyze the shape of 19 indigenous Hirota skulls found on the Japanese island of Tanegashima which had flattened heads and determined that the condition did not occur naturally but was the result of artificial cranial deformation (ACD), probably by head binding or pressing when they were infants – adding the Hirota of the third to seventh centuries CE to the growing list of cultures performing cranial modification. All of sudden, having hat hair doesn’t seem like such a big problem.
The Chinese tech firm Xiaomi unveiled a new version of its CyberDog robotic canine called CyberDog 2 which is more intelligent and lifelike and has the abilities to perform ballet steps, moonwalk, perform backflips, wiggle its rear and ride a skateboard – with a 90 minute battery life, no shedding, the look of a Doberman, and a price of only $1800, the company is predicting CyberDog 2 will be the pet of the future and replace live dogs. Call us when it licks up anything you drop on the floor.
Is this the pet store of the future?
Authorities in Argentina are investigating photos allegedly taken near the small town of El Escorial in Chubut of what looks like an arrow-shaped UFO rotating in the air from vertical to horizontal while hovering above the Patagonian plains - local journalist Calaverita Mateos shared them on social media, called them “the best photos of a UFO in Chubut” and said the local resident who sent them to him wishes to remain anonymous - most people are skeptical without more evidence. We saw Spinning Arrow open for the Beau Brummels.
Dr Michelle Thaller, a research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a public interview that she is certain that alien life exists on Venus as space scientists have identified “something in the atmosphere that looks very much like it could be produced by bacteria" or other microbial lifeforms that can survive using the sulfur, methane and iron in the atmosphere of Venus, and that photosynthesis is possible on the surface because some solar energy is able to penetrate this thick atmosphere. Let’s hope it’s not plants – we’ve seen what humans can do to the ones in their offices.
It’s so hot in Texas that some Texans think a dog-sized yellow-brown creature spotted in a backyard in Hill Country Village by Tina Kahlig is a Chupacabra of the Texas variety which resembles a mangy coyote rather than the blood-sucking, spine-backed, upright, lizardish creatures from Puerto Rico – cooler heads, namely veterinarians at the nearby San Antonio zoo, looked at the photos and suspect it is a dog or coyote with skin issues. The state’s true believers say don’t mess with Texas Chupacabras.
We note the passing of David Perkins, an early 1970s investigator in the field of cattle mutations, noted speaker on the subject, author of numerous magazine and newspaper articles on mutilation cases, and co-author of the book “Altered Steaks.” Perkins passed away on August 20, 2023, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the age of 69.
Glowing Object Over Marion, Texas On Aug 26, 2023, UFO Sighting News.
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.

Eyewitness states:
9:39 pm I was at my house and when i looked towards san antonio area (west) a bright white light was visible coming at me fast and lowering in the sky as it did so. Then it turned to left(sw) and it looked like it was expanding with gases . There was a circle in middle of glowing cloud . It was right above my tree line (maybe 40ft above tres) u can see tree top in video. There was no noise what so ever then it seemed to grow to a bigger round plume before dissolving before my eyes.. in fact i noticed a dark smudge in sky where object should have been before disappearing all together . It made the hair on my arms stand up when i realized how close and low to ground it was to me when it disappeared . I was a little freaked out and ran to house like a kid because i didnt know what it was or where it was!
Intelligent alien life may have repeatedly evolved billions of years ago and they might be visiting Earth and Mars
Intelligent alien life may have repeatedly evolved billions of years ago and they might be visiting Earth and Mars
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”.

Astonishing UFO Sighting Over Gap, Pennsylvania Near Fort Indiantown Gap
Astonishing UFO Sighting Over Gap, Pennsylvania Near Fort Indiantown Gap
Just a few days ago, on 23rd August 2023, eyewitnesses reported an enigmatic formation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena over Gap, Pennsylvania that baffled both local residents and experts alike. If you’re keen on UFO sightings, then this one is an episode you won’t want to miss.
The Sighting Details
The mysterious event took place near Fort Indiantown Gap, a notable military training site in the area. According to the firsthand witness report, the UAPs exhibited what was described as a “CLASSIC formation,” with the objects disappearing and then reappearing in the sky. The sighting occurred despite earlier helicopter drills in the vicinity, leading the witness to clarify that these were definitively not helicopters.
The Military Connection
The intrigue doesn’t stop there. Fort Indiantown Gap is a well-known military training ground. Post-sighting, there was helicopter activity noted in the same area, causing speculation that the military could be involved—or at the very least, interested—in the enigmatic happenings overhead.
The Nuclear Angle
Gap, Pennsylvania is also not too far away from the site of the Three Mile Island nuclear incident. Could there be a connection between the proximity of the nuclear site and the recent UFO sighting? The witness wondered if the appearance of UAPs might be linked to possible nuclear weapons storage in the area.
What’s Next?
The reports of this remarkable sighting have already piqued the interest of UFO enthusiasts and experts alike. Investigations are underway, and the theories are flowing as fast as the mysterious objects were flying.
Conclusion
This captivating episode adds yet another layer to the increasingly complex tapestry of UFO sightings in recent years. Whether military exercise, extraterrestrial visitation, or something else entirely, one thing is for sure: the residents of Gap, Pennsylvania have seen something that defies easy explanation. Keep your eyes on the skies, folks—you never know what you might witness next.
