Are we being told the truth or is this one elaborate cover-up to hide a huge UFO in orbit, UFO Sighting News.
Are we being told the truth or is this one elaborate cover-up to hide a huge UFO in orbit, UFO Sighting News.
The Bluewalker 3 satellite, prior to launch and in space.
The Bluewalker 3 satellite now outshines nearly every star in the night sky.
The object's brightness could impede the study of the skies, according to a group of astronomers.
Astronomer Patrick Seitzer told Nature the night sky will be "irreversibly changed" if more satellites like it are launched.
Now I want to believe in the US gov and how these scientists built this huge solar power array satellite, but I just can't. There is a huge object in Earths orbit right now as I write this and nobody seems to have noticed it till today. Very odd, The object looks like it could be an alien craft in orbit. I believe that this may all be an elaborate cover-up by the US gov to try to convince the public its just a satellite, when its really a spacecraft that may be in orbit for an unknown about of time.
I found a person laying down on Mars in the most recent batch of Mars rover photos dated Oct 3, 2023. The person appears not to be made of stone, but to be petrified or turned to stone. They are in a laying down position which seems to show them struggling to survive with both arms outreaching to someone in the distance. It's very similar to the ancient Pompeii statues excavated in Italy long ago.
I also found an object...a structure that l believe to be an alien ship that crashed in this location and parts of its outer walls were taken off and used for there things. Just food for thought.
It would be nice if NASA would allow the public to chose where to explore and what objects in photos deserve closer scrutiny, like this ancient person...but then, the truth would come out, and NASA can't allow that to happen.

Mysterious UFO Sighting Over Azumayama Captured by Japanese Mountain Climbers
Mysterious UFO Sighting Over Azumayama Captured by Japanese Mountain Climbers
In the world of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, sightings have become an intriguing, yet mysterious part of human history. These sightings stir our imaginations, fuel our curiosities, and make us question what might be beyond our atmosphere. One such captivating incident occurred in 1995, on the picturesque slopes of Azumayama in Japan.
Japanese mountain climbers, amidst their challenging ascent, encountered a sight that would forever change their understanding of the skies. Hovering above them was a mammoth, cigar-shaped UFO, its orange luminescence contrasting starkly with the night sky. The vastness of the object was evident from its reported size: a staggering 80 meters.
The mountain climbers, amateur alpinists exploring the wonders of Azumayama, were able to capture this unique phenomenon on film. As they aimed their camera towards the sky, the footage, although occasionally shaky due to the cameraman’s astonishment, revealed an incredibly detailed image of the tubular object. The clarity was such that even the road beneath, with vehicles in motion, was visible. It provided a reference, emphasizing the sheer size of the object.
There’s an air of mystery surrounding the event. The camera, which had so perfectly captured the object, reportedly malfunctioned the very next day. Was it a mere coincidence, or was there a more profound, inexplicable reason?
For many UFO enthusiasts, this sighting remains a testament to the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The Azumayama footage is often cited as one of the most significant pieces of evidence due to its clarity and the number of witnesses present. However, like many UFO sightings, definitive answers remain elusive.
The account does more than just feed our extraterrestrial theories. It reminds us that our universe is vast, with countless possibilities waiting to be explored. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, the Azumayama UFO sighting invites you to gaze upwards and wonder.
0:16 So many people climbing, this is what. It’s big, huh? It’s really big. Thank you. See, the amateur cameraman cannot hold the camera. So you can see the car is driving on the road. He must board to take a shot and he climb up again.
01:02This is Azuma mountain. Azuma mountain? Yes. There is a friend named Mr .Suda. Is that UFO? That’s amazing. What is that? Oh, it’s over. It’s not over, it’s the middle of the screen. The next day I took this UFO, the camera broke.
01:32This is the light of the future that the Kinochi people expect. The UFO that continues to stay in the place, with the light of the orange color from under the aircraft, is about 150 meters tall. The TRII that made such a UFO video in the middle of the night, does not think about it, but speaks such a word.
01:53Today’s giant UFO.
01:58This video was taken by a man who was in the woods. Some of the light was shining on the battlefield. The size was quite huge. There were many people who were not able to walk. The car’s size was about 4 meters.
02:19This UFO’s size was about 80 meters.
02:23 The image obtained by a group of Alpinistas Amateurs, that by climbing the ladders of a mountain in Japan, managed to obtain one of the most important images of a tubular object flying in the sky. The image is very good, despite the camera movements that try to capture with definition and stability, the object in the air.
02:43 It even manages to see a road where some vehicles were circulating. Look carefully, it has enough references to be able to be treated as a very large object, which remains static flying in the final plane of the shot.
03:01 Unfortunately, the ladders continued with their ascension and stopped recording the object.
The mysteries around the Moon have been circulating after the first Apollo mission. Did the first crew really encounter the aliens there? First, many people still believe that NASA has never gone to Moon. But the majority strongly support the six lunar landing missions. In reference to the missions, NASA whistleblowersclaimed that the agency is hiding the secret of artificial structures on the Moon. Among them, Dr. Ken Johnston claimed that NASA knows that astronauts discovered ancient alien cities and the remains of incredibly advanced machinery on the Moon. Some of these technologies can manipulate gravity.
Dr. Ralph Kennedy Johnston Sr was born at Fort Sam Houston US Army Air Corps Base in San Antonio, TX. in 1942. He was one of the four Civilian Astronaut Consultant Pilots at NASA who trained Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins for the Apollo 11 Mission.
Additionally, Dr. Ken Johnston is a retired aerospace engineer, former active duty US Marine, and now known as “NASA Whistleblower.” He refuses the term “whistleblower” as he says what he did was providing the public with first-hand information that they deserve to know.
Dr. Ken Johnston was selected as Mars One Astronaut Round 2 Candidate but later the program was stopped due to no funding.
He refused to strictly follow orders and destroy a nearly-complete collection of 8″ x 10″ glossy photo prints from the Apollo program. These photos are not available from NASA at this time and are of a higher resolution than what is found online.
In the last 40 years, other scientists, engineers, and technicians have accused NASA of cover-ups and data withholding. There is a growing number of people who accuse the space agency of withholding information about anomalous space objects and lying about discovering artifacts on the surface of the Moon and Mars, denying evidence of life reported by the Viking probe in the mid-1970s.
According to Dr. Johnston, the Apollo astronauts brought back photographic evidence of the artifacts they found during their extravehicular activities on the moon. Johnston claimed that NASA ordered to destroy the EVA images at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), but he refused. When he went public, he was fired from the agency.
In the 2007 press release, Kay Ferrari, JPL’s Director of the SSA program, asked Dr. Johnston to resign. It was Johnston “being quoted [as] criticizing NASA in Hoagland’s new book, ‘Dark Mission,'” that prompted her to ask for Johnston’s resignation from the SSA Program. When Dr. Johnston refused, citing First Amendment protections of free speech afforded all NASA employees, even those at JPL, Ferrari apparently decided to remove him arbitrarily from the SSA Program, as stated in the press release.
After his abrupt departure, he indicated that he was tired of the US government sitting on evidence for more than four decades, evidence that ancient alien cities exist on the Moon. The low-quality pictures included in the book depict ruins of buildings, huge dome-like objects made of glass, stone towers, and castled hanging in the air.
“I have nothing to lose. I have quarreled with NASA and I got fired,” Ken Johnston said.
American space journalist James Oberg continued to attack Dr. Johnston despite he provided his credentials, certificates, and awards, including his doctoral certificate from the Reform Baptist Theological Seminary of Denver, granted in 1985.
Dr. Ken Johnston shared a document on his Facebook page where he stated that he was the substitute for the NASA Astronauts during the testing of the Lunar Module, better known as LTA-8 in Vacuum Chamber “B” at the Johnson Space Center. Source
From his ridiculous accusation that Dr. Johnston was not “in charge” of the photographs in his possession at NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory, to attacking the doctorate itself, Oberg has been – inexplicably for a guy who says he wants to “move on to other things” – persistent. By his own account, Oberg had been burning up the phone lines trying to find something to discredit a man he had known for over 30 years while continuing to pretend he had never even met Dr. Johnston.
Otherwise, Dr. Johnston logged about 3,000 hours as a space pilot without ever going into space. As a test conductor, he helped train all of the Lunar Landing Mission astronauts to fly the Lunar Module.
When the first landing on the moon ended, about 30,000 employees were laid off because research and development were no longer needed, he said. After that, he became the Data and Photo Control Department manager at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory where he was responsible for controlling all of the data and photographic information generated from the Lunar missions.
Dr. Ken Johnston: Here I am wearing a Gemini suit developing the ingress/egress procedures for getting an astronaut (or me) into the giant Vacuum Chambers at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. Back then it was called MSC for the Manned Space Center.
Dr. Ken Johnston: This picture was taken by a remote camera inside the Lunar Module space craft, right after I had crawled in through the front door.
Dr. Ken Johnston: A picture of me in the Apollo space suit about 1967.
Dr. Ken Johnston: You should try this. I am wearing the Shuttle Suit assembly with 600 lbs of led strapped to my back and suspended from a two story hoist to test tile repair in ‘almost’ 0-G. If the chain had broken I would have been crushed by all the weight I had on.

Dr. Ken Johnston On Aliens
On his visit to Hindustan International School and University (India) in 2017, he shared a lot about the Apollo Mission and aliens with the New Indian Express. [Source]
– Do you believe that aliens exist?
– Yes. Don’t you? Your ancient history suggests that extraterrestrials came to our planet. Back in 1958, we unearthed proof that Eisenhower did meet with extraterrestrials. There is so much evidence not only to prove that there are aliens, but also that they have an impact on this planet.
– How did you develop an interest in aliens and space?
– Back in those days, I would watch series like Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and Flash Gordon. I wanted to go to space. My father was a pilot and I wanted to be one too.
– And then you went on to train Neil Armstrong.
– Not just Neil Armstrong. We were a team of four and our job was to test the lunar mission module in the vacuum chambers to ensure that the systems were safe to be taken to space. In the process, we trained Neil, Buzz and Michael to land it on the moon.
– What is your take on the ‘moon landing – faked’ controversy?
– (Laughs) We still have people who think that Earth is flat. Once a reporter told Buzz Aldrin that he didn’t go to the moon and he punched him. Even the latest satellite pictures show the same lunar footprints.
– How did you manage to get first-hand information about extraterrestrials?
– Once we were done with the first three missions, I was put in charge of photographing and documenting their exact location. One day, my boss ordered me to destroy these images. I reminded him that the government had paid for them and that they should be made public to which he replied, “No. Get rid of it. I don’t care what you think.”
– But why?
– Because there were elements in the pictures that were unexplainable. You can now download them for free from my website. You can see the lunar anomalies too. It looks like something has been smudged out. Way before Photoshop, they would paint things out. Once, when I walked into the photo lab, I saw a woman painting something out. She called herself a ‘stripper’ and said that she was paid for it. This really upset me as I was in charge of keeping a record of things. I guess that’s why they call me a whistleblower.
– How transparent is NASA?
– People like me, who’ve gotten into trouble with NASA, have a different expansion for the acronym — Never A Straight Answer.
The Orion Nebula Is Full of Impossible Enigmas That Come in Pairs

The Orion Nebula Is Full of Impossible Enigmas That Come in Pairs
In new, high-resolution imagery of the star-forming region, scientists spotted worlds that defied explanation, naming them Jupiter Mass Binary Objects.
We have discovered a lot in this universe. Planets that orbit stars at right angles. Forbidden worlds that have cheated death. Space explosions that defy explanation.
Yet the cosmos continues to surprise us.
The latest spectacle, observed by the James Webb Space Telescope, is an agglomeration of nearly 150 free-floating objects amid the Orion Nebula, not far in mass from Jupiter. Dozens of these worlds are even orbiting each other. The scientists who discovered them have called them Jupiter Mass Binary Objects, or JuMBOs, and the reason for their appearance is a complete mystery.
“There’s something wrong with either our understanding of planet formation, star formation — or both,” said Samuel Pearson, a scientist at the European Space Agency who worked on the observations that were shared on Monday, which have not yet been peer reviewed. “They shouldn’t exist.”
Scientists believe that five pairs of newly-discovered faint sources, above, are young, hot objects with just a few times the mass of Jupiter. They are called JuMBOs, short for Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects.Credit...NASA, ESA, CSA/Mark McCaughrean & Sam Pearson
The Orion Nebula is a region of star formation 1,350 light-years from Earth, located in the belt of the northern hemisphere constellation of Orion. It has long been studied by astronomers, but the scientists involved in the new Webb telescope study of the area, also released on Monday, say the new images are “by far” the best views yet.
“We have better than Hubble resolution but now in the infrared,” said Mark McCaughrean, a senior adviser for science and exploration at the ESA. He said the latest observations revealed reams of star formation and fledgling planetary systems in a manner never seen before.

Stars in our universe form when giant clouds of dust and gas gradually coalesce under gravity. Eventually, regions of a cloud become so dense that they squeeze atoms of hydrogen together and kick-start nuclear fusion, forming the core of a star. In less dense areas, a more diminutive version of fusion — deuterium fusion — can occur in smaller objects. These are called brown dwarfs, or sometimes “failed stars.”
JuMBOs appear to be a smaller class of gaseous object. While brown dwarfs can grow to about 13 times the mass of Jupiter, the new objects can get as small as about half the planet’s mass, with temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. They are separated by about 200 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun, orbiting each other on paths that take more than 20,000 years to complete.

James Webb Space Telescope's stunning mosaic of Orion Nebula uncovers rogue planets (photos)
Story by Keith Cooper
On the left, the image from Webb’s NIRCam short-wavelength channel shows the nebula, its stars, and many other objects in the near infrared. On the right, the image from Webb's NIRCam long-wavelength channel reveals the gas, dust and molecules in infrared, but at lower spatial resolution than in the short-wavelength image.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured two stunning wide-field mosaics of the grandiose Orion Nebula, a large region of star formation that's one of the closest stellar nurseries to the solar system. It sits just 1,344 light-years away.
The huge mosaics, made of over 3,000 individual images, have also been added to the European Space Agency's ESASky app, which is an interactive all-sky map with a user-friendly interface that enables members of the public to view amazing images of the universe taken by the likes of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope.
The Orion Nebula is rife with budding stars located inside its billowing clouds of molecular gas. Some 2,800 young stars are known to exist inside the nebula, with many more stellar embryos cocooned within the area's dense veil of gas and dust. And the JWST’s Near Infrared Camera, known as NIRCam for short, is able to peer through much of this gas and dust — doing so has revealed proto-stellar disks, outflows from burgeoning stars, and even free-floating planets.
This second view from Webb's NIRCam long-wavelength channel reveals the gas, dust and molecules with unprecedented sensitivity in infrared, but at lower spatial resolution than in the short-wavelength image.

On a winter's night, the nebula is visible to the unaided eye as a fuzzy object just below the three stars that make up the Belt of the Orion constellation. The nebula is illuminated by the Trapezium Cluster, which is a grouping of young stars so-named after the pattern of their four most prominent members. Each star in this quartet is massive, with between 15 and 30 times the mass of our Sun. Their short lives, spanning just a few millions of years rather than billions, will end in supernova explosions.
Up to a thousand fainter stars lurk in the Trapezium Cluster as well, some with evaporating circumstellar disks — these are disks of gas and dust that sprouted planets. Now, residual gas from such planet formation is being blown away by the newly awoken stars' stellar winds.
Not all of the planets born in the Trapezium have parent stars, however; the JWST has detected about 40 pairs of free-floating gas-giant planets,r Jupiter Mass Binary Objects (JuMBOs).
Free-floating planets have been found in the Orion Nebula before, but the JuMBOs are surprising because they seem to come as couples. The question astronomers are still unable to answer is, did the JuMBOs (and other free-floating planets) form directly out of the gas of the Orion Nebula as failed stars, or were they snatched from a planetary system, perhaps by the gravity of a close-passing star that wrenched them from their orbits?
The new mosaics are split between longer and shorter wavelengths. NIRCam's short wavelength channel, which covers an infrared waveband between 0.6 and 2.3 microns, is closest to the visible red end of the spectrum and achieves the greatest angular resolution the JWST can accomplish. The short-wavelength mosaic shows all the fine details of the nebula's star-forming activity.
Meanwhile, NIRCam’s longer wavelength channel, covering 2.4 to 5.0 microns, has recorded the network of dust and organic compound filaments, known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, that abound in the Orion Nebula. PAHs are carbon-based molecules that make up a good proportion of dust found everywhere in the universe, and observations such as those of the Orion Nebula are teaching astronomers how these ubiquitous molecules form. Given how interstellar dust is recycled into the next generation of stars, PAH abundance has a role to play that the infrared vision of the JWST can reveal.
In particular, the JWST's greater spectral resolution can reveal PAHs on smaller spatial scales than ever before, helping to determine how they accumulate depending upon their molecular size, shape and electric charge.
The Orion Nebula is one of those rare objects that is accessible for inspection by everyone, from stargazers with the most basic observing kit to the most advanced space telescopes. As Orion rises this winter, what can you see in the greatest nebula in the sky?

In the world of UFO research, the name of retired Army sergeant Clifford Stone is nearly a legend. Stone claimed to have been serving for 22 years as a Decorated Vietnam combat veteran. From 1968 to 1990, he was a part of the secret elite group that was assigned to recover the crashed UFO or E.T. parts, alien bodies, and artifacts. Besides, he said that intelligent life had been visiting our planet in highly advanced crafts that are capable of covering many light-years in less time which is beyond modern human knowledge.
Initially, he was assigned to the NBC Team (nuclear, biological, and chemical retrieval and abatement detail) at Fort McClellan Army post in Alabama and did some regular assignments until he was called for retrieval duties. He was reportedly out for a week when the army required him for UFO retrievals. What is more, his army service record was manipulated and excluded all his UFO recovery activities, showing him as a typist.
To support his claims, Stone cleverly disclosed the existence of classified projects such as Moon Dust and Blue Fly, that had been created to hide the UFOs’ debris by using Freedom of Information Acts.

For example, in reviewing an Air Force Intelligence letter known as the Betz memo (1961), Sgt. Stone was able to reveal to the general public evidence that Project Moon Dust involved a “potential for employment of qualified field intelligence personnel on a quick reaction basis to recover or perform field exploitation of unidentified flying objects.” (Source)
Stone’s catalogs in UFOs are real documents he had been able to retrieve by FOIA even during his years of military service. Consequently, Stone’s pioneering documentary research into UFO crash retrievals is strong support for his testimony of actually having served on such teams during his military service.
Stone claimed in his old interviews that during his military service, he was monitored by an individual whose rank he was never told but whom he called “Colonel.” The colonel was present at UFO crash retrieval locations and led debriefing sessions of Stone. He noted that the colonel allowed him to read a three-inch thick notebook manual that contained information on 57 types of extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs) known to the military.
He said that many species looked like humans, but their eyes were slightly larger and had black iris. According to him, extraterrestrial species contacted only through telepathy and could even read minds.
In 1973, Stone was involved in the retrieval of a crashed UFO. He hid a small metallic piece of UFO in his shoe and buried it near his property in New Mexico, Nevada, after his retirement in 1989.
He said: “Yes, I have it and wouldn’t dare to keep it in the house. I had it here to show some people where I kept it, a day longer than I should have and then somebody actually came here and tried to take it. That was some tense moments, I almost shot somebody that day.”
On May 9, 2001, over twenty military, intelligence, government, corporate and scientific witnesses came forward at the National Press Club in Washington, DC to establish the reality of UFOs or extraterrestrial vehicles, extraterrestrial life forms, and the resulting advanced energy and propulsion technologies. As part of the Disclosure Project, Sgt. Stone publicly revealed his story and was willing to testify before Congress if they asked him.
Below is the transcript of Sgt. Stone’s part in the Disclosure Program (Full Video link here):
“Morning ladies and gentlemen, my name is Clifford Stone, I was a sergeant first class United States Army. I had a secret clearance with nuclear surety. I could get the clearance that I needed to do whatever it was necessary for me to do at the time on special operations when I was called in on those.
What I’m referring to here is that I was involved in situations where we actually did recoveries of crashed saucers. There were bodies involved with some of these crashes and also some were alive. While we were doing all this, we were telling the American public there was nothing to it. We were telling the world there was nothing to it.
I’d like to go into detail on some of the cases about the nuts and bolts cases right here. But I will be available if you have any questions concerning my involvement in this, you can talk to Dr. Greer to arrange for me to get to talk to you. But the whole situation is, we have setback, we’ve told the American people that there’s no such thing as UFOs. I’ve been involved where we have recovered these objects, we know them to be of extraterrestrials.
In 1969, I had an event that happened to me while I was stationed at Fort Lee Virginia. We went to Indiantown Gap Pennsylvania that would be my first exposure to any time that we would be recovering an unidentified flying object. When we went there, we already had people that were in the facility with a backup team which was supposed to be NBC because there were supposed to be some nuclear materials that were on board this craft.
Later on, most people involved were told that there was nothing on board. It was nothing more than to crash at one of our aircraft. I know better because I was one of the people that approached it with a Geiger counter to get surface readings. I was the first person to go ahead and see that there were bodies on it that would be the first of approximately 12 events.
UFO crashes are not events that take place every day. They’re rare. I know we’re not alone in the universe. I know that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, it’s evidence that has been denied to the American people. I stand before you today and my Almighty God, and I tell you this: if the Congress calls me in and says: ‘Will you testify in detail what you know?’ I stand here today prepared and ready to do just that, governments must never lie to the people for no reason. Thank you.”
Further, she talked about Stone’s alien encounter in Vietnam, where he helped aliens to escape from military custody, as he cared for the rights of extraterrestrials who visit Earth.
Sgt. Clifford Stone claimed that he had been good at communicating with the ETs found at the crash sites or in an encounter with his military team. Once, his team fired a bullet at an ET, but they deflected it with some advanced technology. He also mentioned the teleport techniques of ETs when he found himself hundreds of feet from his initial position.
Stone also claimed that there are many alien groups that visit our solar system and Earth as well, but when humans learned how to detect their crafts, they limited their visits but did not stop.
He had no intention to benefit from his claims and evidence and no desire to gain publicity. His only desire was to let the US citizens know the truth about the UFOs and extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH), that these are interplanetary spacecraft. Sgt. Clifford Stone, aged 72, passed away peacefully at his home on February 10, 2021.
On September 12, 2023, the Mexican government hosted a historic UAP hearing, organized by the Commission of Science and Technology of the Chamber of Deputies. The event included testimonies from various UAP experts and whistleblowers including former US Navy pilot Ryan Graves. However, the hearings drew criticism from many, as the primary focus was on the two alleged alien corpses presented by Jaime Maussan, a Mexican journalist and UFOlogist with decades of experience researching and reporting on UAPs.
The two tiny alien corpses were displayed in windowed boxes for all to see. The small mummified specimen was retrieved from Cusco, Peru in a layer of diatomaceous earth. They are believed to be one thousand years old. “These aren’t beings that were found after a UFO wreckage,” Maussan said, “They were found in diatom mines, and were later fossilized.” He later added: “Whether they are aliens or not, we don’t know, but they were intelligent, and they lived with us. They should rewrite history.… We are not alone in this vast universe, we should embrace this reality.”
Maussan claimed that DNA testing has been done on the mummies, and more than 30% of it is unknown. Besides, one corpse allegedly was discovered to have what appeared to be eggs or ovaries inside, while another had implants of rare metals, such as Osmium.
Skepticism
However, these claims were rightly called a hoax by many people — a public stunt by Maussan, who has been connected to previous claims of debunked alien discoveries, including five mummies discovered in Peru in 2017, later determined to be remains of human children.
Julieta Fierro, a researcher at the Institute of Astronomy in Mexico, expressed skepticism about some details related to alleged alien corpses and claims made by researchers. Fierro also questions the use of X-rays in determining if the calcified bodies are “non-human.” “Maussan has done many things. He says he has talked to the Virgin of Guadalupe,” she said. “He told me extraterrestrials do not talk to me like they talk to him because I don’t believe in them.”
Vox published an article in an attempt to debunk the Mexican alien mummy case. The article straightforwardly states that these alien remains were likely a hoax, constructed using a combination of pre-Columbian human remains and animal bones, all held together with plaster. It further discusses the broader issue of how such hoaxes contribute to a long history of erasing the achievements of pre-Columbian cultures and perpetuating racist myths. It mentions the practice of cranial reshaping in indigenous South American cultures and how it has been misinterpreted as evidence of alien influence.
Not a hoax
Maussan’s claims regarding these alleged mummified alien bodies are truly otherworldly, causing people to lose faith in this case. However, these specimens possess something genuinely intriguing that is drawing the attention of scientists for further study.
Scientists had previously said the bodies displayed in Mexico UAP hearings were generally assembled from human and animal bones. Now, a new study was conducted on two bodies and found each of them belonged to a single skeleton. According to Jose de Jesus Zalce Benitez, a director of the Scientific Institute for Health of the Mexican Navy, the studies showed that the alleged bodies belonged to a single skeleton and were not assembled.
Dr. Rubén García Linaje, an orthopedic surgeon mentioned that they were observing bones, and it appeared to be a skeleton. He pointed out that there were some unusual features, such as the circular shape of the ribs. He did not see a sternum, and the ribcage seemed to have limited expansion capabilities due to the shape of the ribs.
Dr. Armando González Ballesteros, who specializes in radiology and is an expert in interpreting CT scans also believed it was a skeleton, and it did not appear to be assembled or fabricated. He mentioned that the cranio-cervical junction looked congruent, suggesting it could belong to a biological entity. He commented on certain ribs that appeared to be embedded in the spinal canal, which seemed unusual and could have been due to trauma or other factors. He noted the glenoid, which was the socket where the upper limb articulated, seemed realistic, and the thoracic cage appeared small. However, they could not identify any remnants that would indicate the presence of lungs or other organs.
Dr. González further explained that the term “glenoid” referred to the cup where the upper limb articulated, providing the range of motion for the upper limb. He pointed out that the humeral and glenoid parts resembled those in humans and even noted some signs of wear, similar to arthrosis found in older patients.
Regarding whether this body had been assembled or manipulated, Dr. González noted that based on their preliminary observations, it did not seem to have been fabricated. He mentioned that if it had been manipulated post-mortem, there would likely be signs of cutting or modifications, which they had not seen so far.
The Mexican newspaper El Universal reported that Jaime Maussan met with Mexican senators, including Eduardo Ramírez and Alejandro Armenta, who expressed optimism about supporting him in a reform that would officially recognize the existence of extraterrestrial life.
According to the newspaper, Maussan emphasized that the bodies were not fake and stressed the need for further investigation to determine their true nature. Maussan also mentioned that he and Senator Alejandro Armenta were exploring the possibility of amending the law to acknowledge non-human anomalous phenomena, specifically objects lacking characteristics of terrestrial technology. If successful, this would make Mexico the first country in the world to officially acknowledge such phenomena.
Maussan insisted that the bodies he presented were not fake and refuted the Peruvian government’s contrary claims. He believed that officially recognizing these bodies as non-human would position Mexico at the forefront of global discussions regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life. He also praised the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies for their openness and support in advancing these issues.
Moreover, this might be good news to Maussan as a NASA contractor is reportedly looking to study “alien bodies” he presented in the Mexoco UAP hearings. Dailymail writes that “NASA’s top UFO investigator Dr David Spergel was pressed about the purported alien corpses – and did not shut them down entirely.”
Dr Spergel told reporters: “We don’t know the nature of those samples. My recommendation is, if you have something strange, make samples available to the world scientific community, and we’ll see what’s there.”
In recent years, the discussion surrounding UAPs has gained new momentum due to groundbreaking revelations and insights from researchers like Leslie Kean. She says that there is a bundle of evidence that posits that the UFO phenomena are linked with an “Alternate dimension.” She believes UFOs could be connected to “the afterlife” and “near-death experiences” and could come from another “dimension.”
Leslie Kean, a respected journalist known for her extensive research on UFOs, has shed light on the multifaceted nature of these encounters in a podcast with Chris Letho. According to Leslie, there are two distinct aspects of the UFO phenomenon. The first one is the physical aspect, involving UFOs being detected on radar and approached by the military in a traditional, empirical manner. However, Kean also highlights the second, more enigmatic layer of UFO experiences.
Leslie told Lehto that she is increasingly sure there is a connection between the supernatural, near-death experiences, and unexplained sightings. She said, “Certainly, the more paranormal elements of the UFO phenomenon seem to have some relationship to what people describe in near-death experiences and other types of activities that take place in terms of just consciousness-related anomalous experiences that people have, which are very varied. There just is some kind of crossover air, and I don’t know what it is. I mean, there is the whole component of UFOs, which is just purely physical.”
Leslie speculates that there might be a connection between UFOs and some form of alternate dimension that exists beyond the boundaries of our five senses. This dimension, she suggests, may overlap with our own, providing a possible explanation for the mysterious and often inexplicable aspects of UFO phenomena.
The connection between the paranormal and UFOs takes us to Skinwalker Ranch. In 2007, James Lacatski, a scientist at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) became interested in Skinwalker Ranch. His visit to the ranch led him to believe in the existence of paranormal phenomena, including UFOs, ghosts, and monsters. He shared his experience with Nevada Senator Harry Reid, leading to the creation of AAWSAP, a program aimed at studying aerospace technology trends.
In 2017, Leslie pitched a story to the New York Times about a Pentagon UFO program called “AATIP,” without mentioning AAWSAP or its paranormal investigations. This led to public interest in UFOs, but according to former AAWSAP contractor Colm Kelleher, the true story was largely hidden.
Despite the controversy and skepticism surrounding AAWSAP/AATIP, some former members continued to pursue their interest in UFOs and the paranormal. Some even briefed Congress on UFO-related matters, causing a stir among elected officials and the media. Jay Stratton, an AAWSAP/Skinwalker Ranch alum, provided UFO information to a Pentagon press office and headed a Pentagon UFO Task Force during the Trump administration. (Source)
However, it is suggested that the task force was more focused on unconventional UFOs than addressing other national security concerns. Some former DOD officials criticized Stratton’s leadership, alleging that he was preoccupied with paranormal stories related to Skinwalker Ranch.
Dailystar writes, “Leslie says it’s a shame that the entire area of the paranormal got a bad reputation because so many fraudsters got involved in it. And similarly, the number of hoax UFO sightings has led to scientists not taking reports as seriously as they should. She say more investigation of both phenomena is needed to understand exactly what’s going on. She added that there are major UFO reports such as the sighting in Stephenville, Texas, in 2008 that urgently need to be re-examined.”
Leslie says that at the moment, UFO research is being taken more seriously than it has been in decades, but scientific inquiry into life after death is being almost ignored. “I think people should know that the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness studies [BICS], which was founded by Robert Bigelow, is doing investigations into all of these questions,” she said.
The institute launched an essay competition for the best accounts of near-death experiences. “Robert Bigelow was offering huge cash prizes for the winners of this contest, so there was a lot of motivation and there were some amazing essays that were submitted which provided fascinating evidence,” she said.
The ranch gained notoriety in the 1990s when it was purchased by Mr. Bigelow, who funded a number of studies of the phenomena reported at the ranch. However, the specifics of what has been reported at the ranch and the credibility of those reports have been the subject of much debate and skepticism. Some people believe that the ranch is a hotspot for extraterrestrial activity, while others claim that the reports of strange occurrences at the ranch are the result of hoaxes or misidentifications of natural phenomena.
In an interview with award-winning journalist George Knapp, Mr. Bigelow shared his personal experiences and losses that prompted his interest in life after death, as well as UFOs. He talked about possible links between consciousness research and UFOs. He also talked about the risks of trying to establish communications with the unknown.
“That’s been mainly what I’ve been doing except for the skinwalker ranch thing for 20 years as the space world has been huge in my life to pursue the legitimate parochial kind of you know using fire engines rockets to get you there. We didn’t expect anything like this to happen and so there this is different. This is the holy grail and is different than the second holy grail. If the second one is ‘Beings’ (E.T.), then the first one: Is there any part of your consciousness that survives your bodily death? That’s a big deal. That’s a huge story. That’s gigantic.”
“Be a little careful about what you wish for. So on the face of it, communication sounds great and that by the way has been tried forever ever since the oracle of Delphi. I mean you can go back thousands of years and that’s been attempted. So It’s not now you know the last 100 years through electronics and using some kind of electrical apparatus to try to have some kind of communications. And you know communication can be at all different kinds of levels. There might be communication that just causes you an awareness.”
Mr. Bigelow’s investigative team, headed by Colm Kelleher, the institute’s scientific administrator and biochemist, documented their own paranormal events, according to a 2005 book “Hunt for the Skinwalker,” by Dr. Kelleher and Mr. Knapp.
Mr. Bigelow said he saw “interdimensional” forces at play through portals at certain paranormal hot spots like Skinwalker. But he also said he had frequently visited the ranch without experiencing the kind of chilling events others reported, as if some intelligence were selecting the people to act upon. “I slept like a log every single night,” he said. And no human was physically harmed, but he said he and other visitors often carried strange things home, like a sulfurous stink in a certain part of his house. His wife felt the presence of a faceless creature pressing down on her side of bed.
Brandon Fugal, the current owner of Skinwalker Ranch says one of the most unexpected intersections of UFO phenomena and religious belief comes from Mormon theology. Mormonism teaches that the universe is inhabited by countless worlds and dimensions, a concept referred to as “worlds without number.” This belief is rooted in the idea that there is a divine plan for existence, and the universe is teeming with diverse life forms. (Source)
Within the framework of Mormonism, the notion of multiple dimensions of reality separated by a spiritual fabric known as “the veil” is essential. In these dimensions, there are worlds populated by people who are aliens to Earth. Travel between these dimensions is considered possible through the power of God or, interestingly, through the power of Satan.
One notable figure who recognized the potential connection between Mormon beliefs and UFO phenomena was the late U.S. Senator Harry Reid. When asked about reconciling his Mormon faith with his interest in the paranormal, Reid emphasized that Mormonism’s teachings align with the idea of otherworldly existence. He believed that there is ample evidence to suggest that there are indeed other dimensions and realms of reality, paralleling the quest to understand UFOs and the unexplained phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch.
David Grusch, a popular UFO whistleblower claimed that in 1945, the United States intercepted a mysterious craft that was initially recovered by Mussolini’s forces in Italy back in 1933. As evidence of this extraordinary event, Grusch presented a handwritten Italian memo containing small drawings at the bottom. What made this revelation even more intriguing was the implication of the Vatican’s involvement, suggesting the religious institution was not only aware of the existence of NHI but also actively participated in suppressing this information. (Click here to read the full article)
Grusch made significant assertions regarding the NHI, stating that these entities might be extraterrestrial or interdimensional, or possibly both. Astronomer and UFO researcher Jacques Vallée states that UFOs and related events of a paranormal nature involve visitations from other “realities” or “dimensions.” The idea proposes that these alternate realities exist separately yet parallel to our own. In 1975 book “The Edge of Reality,” Vallée and Hynek considered the possibility of what they call “interlocking universes.”
Astronomers Watched a Massive Star Just… Disappear. Now JWST Might Have Some Answers
In 2009 a giant star 25 times more massive than the Sun simply…vanished. Okay, it wasn’t quite that simple. It underwent a period of brightening, increasing in luminosity to a million Suns, just as if it was ready to explode into a supernova. But then it faded rather than exploding. And when astronomers tried to see the star, using the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), Hubble, and the Spitzer space telescope, they couldn’t see anything.
The star, known as N6946-BH1, is now considered a failed supernova. The BH1 in its name is due to the fact that astronomers think the star collapsed to become a black hole rather than triggering a supernova. But that has been conjecture. All we’ve known for sure is that it brightened for a time then grew too dim for our telescopes to observe. But that has changed, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
The new study, published on the arXiv, analyzes data gathered by JWST’s NIRCam and MIRI instruments. It shows a bright infrared source that appears to be a remnant dust shell surrounding the position of the original star. This would be consistent with material ejected from the star as it brightened rapidly. It could also be an infrared glow from material infalling into the black hole, though that seems less likely.
Images of BH1 show three sources, not one. Credit: Beasor, et al
Surprisingly, the team also found not one remnant object, but three. This makes the failed supernova model less likely. Earlier observations of N6946-BH1 were a blend of these three sources since the resolution wasn’t high enough to distinguish them. So a more likely model is that the 2009 brightening was caused by a stellar merger. What appeared to be a bright massive star was a star system that brightened as two stars merged, then faded.
While the data leans toward the merger model, it can’t rule out the failed supernova model. And that makes our understanding of supernovae and stellar mass black holes more complicated. We know from black hole mergers observed by LIGO and other gravitational wave observatories that stellar-mass black holes exist and are relatively common. So some massive stars do become black holes. But whether they become supernovae first is still in question. Regular supernovae can have enough remnant mass to become a black hole, but it’s hard to imagine how the largest stellar black holes could have formed after supernovae.
N6946-BH1 is in a galaxy 22 million light-years away, so the fact that JWST can distinguish multiple sources is impressive. It also gives astronomers hope that similar stars will be observed in time. With more data, we should be able to distinguish between stellar mergers and true failed supernovae, which will help us understand the last stages of stars as they move toward becoming stellar-mass black holes.

Guys watch this video and you will see something you will not believe, but it will stay with you all day long. This woman caught a UFO shooting away and over the rooftops of her neighborhood and it seems to have shaken her up a bit. But she's not the only one, I believe this UFO was so surprised by the woman being outside at this hour that it too was frightened and shot away. This shows me that the UFO was controlled by an AI so advanced it's hard to imagine, but also that AI fears some things, like getting caught. They must have a rule against allowing it.

Eyewitness states:
I was taking Live Photo of Venus and this white mass zoomed past my right side, across the street and went over a tall tree.
This photo is going to need a little enhancing, I added some contrast and focus to bring out the detail and I discovered a strange alien craft sitting in a white sand location. The spacecraft looks to be some kind of mining craft, there to gather particular minerals necessary. The The shape is like nothing I have ever seen, the front is cone with circle openings and the back is four long arms, the bottom two arms are linked together. 100% proof that alien tech is on Earths moon. All in the latest moon photo from NASA.

Amazing Triangle UFO Sighting Over Minnesota – Filmed today just after midnight!
Amazing Triangle UFO Sighting Over Minnesota – Filmed today just after midnight!
On the night of October 3rd, 2023, at precisely 00:15, Minnesota residents witnessed what can only be described as an extraordinary sight in the night sky. Hovering above was a brilliantly illuminated, triangular-shaped UFO, its sheer magnitude defying common descriptions. The enigmatic structure was accentuated by 3 to 4 pronounced, intense lights that pierced through the dark sky.
Witnesses at the scene were baffled. One onlooker reported, “At first, I thought it was an airplane, but it was silent and far too bright.” This report raises the stakes in the ongoing debate about the nature of such unidentified objects. Given its characteristics, several speculations have surfaced.
Is it the TR-3B?
For the uninitiated, the TR-3B is an alleged secret reconnaissance aircraft within the black projects portfolio, believed to be developed by the U.S. military. It’s said to boast a triangular design, mirroring the object spotted in Minnesota. While there is no concrete evidence to affirm the existence of the TR-3B, sightings similar to this recent one have fueled speculation about its veracity.
Military or Alien Origin?
Military Stealth Craft: Some believe that the Minnesota UFO is a next-generation military stealth craft, possibly the TR-3B or another classified aircraft. Given the silent nature of its flight, the theory seems plausible.
Extraterrestrial Craft: On the other hand, the enormity of the object, its luminance, and the inexplicable technology behind it make some wonder if we are looking at an advanced extraterrestrial craft.
Other Theories: With our skies becoming increasingly populated by private companies testing innovative technologies, could this be a new, undisclosed commercial venture?
No theory can be definitively proven or dismissed at this time. One thing is clear though – the Minnesota sighting is one of the most compelling UFO sightings in recent history. As we await the video evidence, the world watches with bated breath, yearning for answers.
For those interested in this event, a riveting video capturing the sighting is available in the player below!
Space.com spoke with author Laura Krantz about her new book "Is There Anybody Out There?"

Is there anybody out there in space?
It's a question we've all wondered. Given all of the advances in space telescopes, robotic missions to other planets and even the wild headlines related to UFOs and possible extraterrestrial visitation these days, the question can seem more pressing than ever. And for children, the question can feel frightening, fascinating and everything in between, given some of the sensationalism that surrounds the subject.
To help sort out fact from fiction, author and podcast host Laura Krantz has written "Is There Anybody Out There?: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life, from Amoebas to Aliens," a new book from Abrams Books for Young Readers coming out on Oct. 3, 2023. The book takes a rational look at the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the flyby of interstellar object 'Oumuamua and even well-known examples of UFO lore like the July 1947 crash of either a flying saucer or a secret U.S. military balloon outside Roswell, New Mexico,
Space.com spoke with Krantz to learn about the book, her take on the UFO buzz these days and even some tips on how to talk to kids about aliens.

Is There Anybody Out There? (A Wild Thing Book): The Search for Extraterrestrial Life, from Amoebas to Aliens: $19.99 at Amazon
Author Laura Krantz, host of the "Wild Thing" podcast series, takes a deep dive into the search for extraterrestrial life and the UFO phenomenon in this beautifully illustrated and thoroughly researched book for young readers.
Space.com:First off, I have to say that this is a beautifully illustrated book.
Laura Krantz: I just love it. I love the colors. I love this sort of like blocky illustration style. I just I think it turned out really, really well. [Illustrator Rafael Nobre] has a good sense of humor, too. Like he's able to incorporate some of the funnier stuff into like, great photos. Like there's the scene of an alien trying to cook life, I just I love that one.
Illustration from "Is There Anybody Out There?" (Image credit: Abrams Books for Young Readers)
Space.com: What was the inspiration for the book?
Krantz: The book is really a spin-off of the Wild Thing podcast. When I started doing the podcast, I wasn't really thinking about kids at all, I was thinking about adults. And I started getting letters from parents who were listening with their kids, teachers who were using elements of the podcast in their classroom to talk about like, evolution, DNA evidence and the scientific method. And I started talking to my agent, and she suggested doing a middle-grade nonfiction book, because that is really an area where teachers love this kind of information and resources for kids.
But it's interesting to write this kind of stuff. Because when you're doing it for an adult audience, you assume they know what DNA is, they know what evolution is. They know what all these sort of terms mean, at least sort of obliquely. But when you're writing for kids, you're like 'Crap, I have to understand what this actually is, and be able to explain it in plain language!' So it was like getting a crash course in science education.
Illustration from "Is There Anybody Out There?" (Image credit: Abrams Books for Young Readers)
Space.com: Why do you think it's important for young people to read this book?
Krantz: I think one of the most important things about it is that [the question of alien life] kind of sits firmly in the gray area. There's no answer to the question "Is there anybody out there?" Just like there's no answer to the Bigfoot question. It's like, this is an area to explore. This is an area to think about things scientifically and wonder and hypothesize. And guess what? We don't have a solid answer.
And in some ways, it's like teaching kids to be comfortable with the idea that there's no answer, because I think we are in a society now where things tend to be pretty black and white, good or bad, right or wrong, one side or the other side. And with this, you just kind of have to be like, 'There might be aliens out there; I can see both sides of this argument.' I can see all different ways this might go. And I still don't know for sure. And I think that that's valuable.
And then I think the other thing, too, is it's helpful to help. It's helpful for kids to see how science works, that science has such a long timeline, that the work that was done in the '50s and '60s and '70s on space science, many of those scientists aren't around or won't be around to see where the sort of seeds that they planted end up. And I think that that's sort of important for kids to understand — that science is constantly building on itself and revising and resubmitting, and trying to figure it out as best as it can using the evidence at the time. I think those are two really valuable things.
And then, also, space is cool.
Illustration from "Is There Anybody Out There?" (Image credit: Abrams Books for Young Readers)
Space.com: I read in your introduction like you were not familiar with the UFO topic before getting into this, right?
Krantz: What really caught my attention was, firstly, the 'Oumuamua story, which I just thought was fascinating. I mean, we guessed that there were things coming in from outside our solar system. But we hadn't really been able to say that for sure. And this is the first moment we were like, 'This thing is from very far away.' And I think that that's just kind of a cool thing to think about — like, this moment in time, we have this realization of just how big the universe is, and what kinds of things are traveling through it.
And also seeing photos coming out of the James Webb Space Telescope. And granted this that was after this project was mostly finished. But it's hard not to look at those photos and just have your jaw drop with, you know, how amazingly beautiful and yet, kind of terrifyingly awesome they are. A lot of those photos make you feel very small and insignificant, which is, I guess, kind of a good reminder of our place. And in the grand scheme of things.
Space.com: What do you make of the current UFO buzz in the U.S. government?
Krantz: I saw how, like, crazy, everybody went over the AATIP program [an alleged U.S. Department of Defense UFO study program]. And when the announcement came out about that, like, people lost their marbles; the headlines on that were just constant. And so that was the moment where I was like, 'There's something to be done here on this' and sort of take my glancing interest in it and pull in these threads where it's obvious that this is a question that people think about a lot, even if it's not something we're talking about day to day.
I think that it's a perfect opportunity to apply some rational thought. So, for instance, the whistleblower who testified in front of Congress, he said that people told him that they had recovered bodies, but he hadn't seen them for himself. So that to me is the first red flag. It's like, if you're the whistleblower, you need to have been seeing some of the stuff, you can't just use hearsay. Generally, that's not admissible in court, from what I understand about legal proceedings. So I think that should be a rational thing. And in science, too, and in scientific inquiry.
I don't doubt that there's some weird stuff up in the sky, and that pilots are seeing things. I do think there needs to be a recording process for that, that does not have a stigma attached to it.
Illustration from "Is There Anybody Out There?" (Image credit: Abrams Books for Young Readers)
Space.com: What do you hope kids take away from the book?
Krantz: That wonder is a huge asset. I think it's so valuable. And I think we kind of beat the wonder out of people as they become grownups. It's like, there's these boxes, you have to check in these things you have to do and the wonder kind of slips by the wayside. But wonder is so important, because it gets you figuring out how your world works. And it gets you thinking about things from different perspectives. And scientifically, like the first step of the scientific method is, it's about wonder. Ask a question; what are you wondering? And I think that that is a really valuable thing for kids.
And I also think it's a valuable thing for adults to wonder about the world around you, to wonder about what life is like for other people to just sort of have this curiosity and questions and continuing to maybe question your own thoughts on things and beliefs. And, you know, it extends beyond science. I think wonder is a skill that we sometimes lose as we get older.

NASA’s UAP Study Team Releases Its Final Report
NASA’s UAP Study Team Releases Its Final Report
On September 14, 2023, the NASA Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena independent study team published its final report containing a series of recommendations for how the agency could help to move our understanding of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) forward.
The NASA UAP independent study team recommends that NASA plays a prominent role in the whole-of-government effort to understand UAP by leveraging its extensive expertise to contribute to a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that is rooted in the scientific method. The team members specifically recommend that NASA utilize its existing and planned Earth-observing assets to probe the local environmental conditions associated with UAP that are initially detected by other means. In so doing, NASA can directly probe whether certain environmental factors are coincident with known UAP. They further recommend that NASA explore enhancing collaborations with the U.S. commercial remote-sensing industry, which offer powerful constellations of high-resolution Earth-observing satellites. Image credit: NASA.
UAP, popularly known as UFOs, are one of our planet’s greatest mysteries.
Observations of objects in our skies that cannot be identified as balloons, aircraft, or natural known phenomena have been spotted worldwide, yet there are limited high-quality observations.
The nature of science is to explore the unknown, and data are the language scientists use to discover our Universe’s secrets.
Despite numerous accounts and visuals, the absence of consistent, detailed, and curated observations means, scientists do not presently have the body of data needed to make definitive, scientific conclusions about UAP.
In 2022, NASA commissioned the independent study to better understand how the agency can contribute to ongoing government efforts to further the study observations of UAP.
The independent study team, set up outside of NASA, used unclassified data from civilian government entities, commercial data, and data from other sources to inform their findings and recommendations in the report.
There are currently a limited number of high-quality observations of UAP, which currently make it impossible to draw firm scientific conclusions about their nature.
The team’s report contains the findings and recommendations which aim to inform NASA on what possible data is available to be collected and how the agency can help shed light on the origin and nature of future UAP.
While NASA still is evaluating the report and assessing the independent study team’s findings and recommendations, the agency is committed to contributing to the federal government’s unified UAP effort by appointing Mark McInerney director of UAP research.
“At NASA, it’s in our DNA to explore — and to ask why things are the way they are. I want to thank the Independent Study Team for providing insight on how NASA can better study and analyze UAP in the future,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
“NASA’s new Director of UAP Research will develop and oversee the implementation of NASA’s scientific vision for UAP research, including using NASA’s expertise to work with other agencies to analyze UAP and applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to search the skies for anomalies.”
“NASA will do this work transparently for the benefit of humanity.”
The overall recommendation for NASA from the new report is that the agency can play a prominent role in the government’s effort to understand UAP by furthering the study and data collection of UAP.
The external study recommends that NASA use its open-source resources, extensive technological expertise, data analysis techniques, federal and commercial partnerships, and Earth-observing assets to curate a better and robust dataset for understanding future UAP.
NASA also will advance citizen reporting by engaging with the public and commercial pilots to build a broader, more reliable UAP dataset to use to identify future UAP incidents as well as destigmatize the study of UAP.
“Using unclassified data was essential for our team’s fact-finding, open-communication collaboration, and for upholding scientific rigor to produce this report for NASA,” said David Spergel, president of the Simons Foundation and chair of the UAP independent study team.
“The team wrote the report in conjunction with NASA’s pillars of transparency, openness and scientific integrity to help the agency shed light on the nature of future UAP incidents.”
“We found that NASA can help the whole-of-government UAP effort through systematic data calibration, multiple measurements and ensuring thorough sensor metadata to create a data set that is both reliable and extensive for future UAP study.”
“Data are the critical lifeblood needed to advance scientific exploration, and we thank the independent study team members for lending NASA their expertise towards identifying what available data is possible to understand the nature and origin of future UAP,” said Nicola Fox, associate administrator of Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters.
“The director of UAP Research is a pivotal addition to NASA’s team and will provide leadership, guidance and operational coordination for the agency and the federal government to use as a pipeline to help identify the seemingly unidentifiable.”

Novel AI Technique Reveals Sample’s Biological or Non-Biological Origin with 90% Accuracy
Novel AI Technique Reveals Sample’s Biological or Non-Biological Origin with 90% Accuracy
The search for definitive biosignatures — unambiguous markers of past or present life — is a central goal of paleobiology and astrobiology. A team of researchers led by the Carnegie Institution for Science has developed a robust method that combines pyrolysis gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS) measurements of a wide variety of terrestrial and extraterrestrial carbonaceous materials with machine-learning-based classification to achieve 90% accuracy in the differentiation between samples of abiotic origins vs. biotic specimens, including highly-degraded, ancient, biologically-derived samples.

Since the early 1950’s scientists have known that given the right conditions, mixing simple chemicals can form some of the more complex molecules required for life, such as amino acids.
Since then, many more of the components necessary for life, such as the nucleotides needed to make DNA, have been detected in space.
But how do we know if these are of biological origin, or if they are made by another abiotic process over time. Without knowing that, we don’t know if we have detected life.
“We are asking a fundamental question: Is there something fundamentally different about the chemistry of life compared to the chemistry of the inanimate world?” said Carnegie Institution for Science’s Professor Robert Hazen.
“Are there ‘chemical rules of life’ that influence the diversity and distribution of biomolecules?”
“Can we deduce those rules and use them to guide our efforts to model life’s origins or to detect subtle signs of life on other worlds? We found that there is.”
“From an evolutionary point of view, life is not an easy thing to sustain, and so there are certain pathways which work and certain which don’t.”
“Our analysis does not rely on absolute identification of a compound but determines biological/non-biological origins by looking at the compound in relation to the sample context.”
Professor Hazen and colleagues employed pyrolysis GC-MS methods to analyze 134 varied carbon-rich samples from living cells, age-degraded samples, geologically processed fossil fuels, carbon-rich meteorites, and laboratory-synthesized organic compounds and mixtures.
“59 of these were of biological origin (biotic), such as a grain of rice, a human hair, crude oil, etc,” they said.
“75 were of non-biological origin (abiotic), such as lab-synthesised compounds like amino acids, or samples from carbon-rich meteorites.”
“The samples were first heated in an oxygen-free environment, which causes the samples to break down (a process known as pyrolysis).”
The treated samples were then analysed in a GC-MS, an analytical device which separates the mixture into its component parts, and then identifies them.
Using a suite of machine-learning methods, three-dimensional (time/intensity/mass) data from each abiotic or biotic sample were employed as training or testing subsets, which resulted in a model that can predict the abiotic or biotic nature of the sample with greater than 90% accuracy.
“From a chemical standpoint, the differences between biotic and abiotic samples relate to things like water solubility, molecular weights, volatility and so on,” said Carnegie Institution for Science’s Dr. Jim Cleaves.
“The simple way I would think about this is that a cell has a membrane and an interior, called the cytosol; the membrane is pretty water-insoluble, while the cell’s content is pretty water-soluble.”
“That arrangement keeps the membrane assembled as it tries to minimize its components’ contacts with water and also keeps the ‘inside components’ from leaking across the membrane.”
“The inside components can also stay dissolved in water despite being extremely large molecules like chromosomes and proteins.”
“So, if one breaks a living cell or tissue into its components, one gets a mix of very water-soluble molecules and very water-insoluble molecules spread across a spectrum. Things like petroleum and coal have lost most of the water-soluble material over their long histories.”
“Abiological samples can have unique distributions across this spectrum relative to each other, but they are also distinct from the biological distributions.”
The new technique may soon resolve a number of scientific mysteries on Earth, including the origin of 3.5 billion-year-old black sediments from Western Australia — hotly debated rocks that some researchers contend hold Earth’s oldest fossil microbes, while others claim they are devoid of life signs.
Other samples from ancient rocks in Northern Canada, South Africa, and China evoke similar debates.
“We’re applying our methods right now to address these long-standing questions about the biogenicity of the organic material in these rocks,” Professor Hazen said.
And new ideas have poured forth about the potential contributions of this new approach in other fields such as biology, paleontology and archaeology.
“If AI can easily distinguish biotic from abiotic, as well as modern from ancient life, then what other insights might we gain? For example, could we tease out whether an ancient fossil cell had a nucleus, or was photosynthetic?” Professor Hazen said.
“Could it analyze charred remains and discriminate different kinds of wood from an archeological site? It’s as if we are just dipping our toes in the water of a vast ocean of possibilities.”
The team’s work appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

At least one B-type star — the second most massive type — lurks within a star-forming region called G35.2-0.7N, and a powerful protostellar jet that it is launching towards us is the source of the spectacular light show.
This Hubble image shows G35.2-0.7N, a star-forming region some 7,200 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila.

G35.2-0.7N resides approximately 7,200 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Aquila.
The color image of G35.2-0.7N was made from separate exposures taken in the infrared region of the spectrum with Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3).
Four filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter.
“This beautiful picture of G35.2-0.7N was assembled using data that were collected primarily for very specific research purposes,” Hubble astronomers said.
“The research conducted using these data included measuring the extent of ionization in the jets being blasted out of the protostar buried within this region.”
“Ionization is a process by which atoms or molecules become charged, often because they are in such a high-energy environment that they have lost some of their electrons,” they explained.
“Protostellar jets are enormous collimated beams of matter that are ejected from protostars.”
“Collimated simply means that the matter is ejected in parallel (column-like) streams, which in turn means that the jets do not spread out much, but extend out very far in relatively straight lines.”
“The visual result of the ejected matter is the glorious display visible in the image,” the astronomers said.
“Much of the nebula is dark, with light being blocked from Hubble’s view by the rich dust clouds that produce these massive stars.”
“Near the very center can be seen the location of the star and the jet of material it is emitting.”
“The small, bright orange streak there is a cavity in the dust carved out by the ferocity of the jet as it streams towards us.”
“By breaking through its dusty cocoon, the jet reveals light from the protostar, but there is still so much dust that the light is ‘reddened’ to a fiery orange.”
“The massive protostar lies at the very lower-left tip of this cavity.”

Since those modest beginnings, India has extended its divine wings, sending an impressive convoy of satellites, rockets, and scientific probes into the universe.
James Webb Discovers a Galaxy That Could Break Physics!
The vast universe holds many secrets, and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is on track to uncover some of them. Described as a time machine, the Webb telescope itself doesn’t travel through time directly, but what it does is much more profound than just giving us clues about the past. The supreme observatory can voyage back to “the edge of time” not by actually going anywhere, but by sending us direct images of some of the earliest moments of the Universe – showing us what it would have looked like if we had actually been there, more than 13 billion years ago, watching the first galaxies form.
Black Triangular Shaped UFO Sighted Over Karlsruhe in Germany On October 1, 2023.
The witness stated the following: "Today October 1st 7PM CET my friend and me spotted a weird unknown object flying though the sky of Karlsruhe, Germany. The video shows a paper glider-like object (at least seems like it). At some point it rotates around which make me really wonder what it can be. And I am not even joking, after I made that video my phone restart and after it restarted I got a camera error which I never had before. I guess it was because I really stretched out the zoom feature.."

Real Historical Accounts Of Giants
History is filled with stories of giants, from Goliath in the Bible to the giants of Patagonia, which Magellan and other explorers reported finding in the 1500s. Most of these accounts are nothing more than myths and legends, but there have been verified cases of human gigantism that blur the line between fact and fantasy. Let’s take a look at giants throughout history.
What is this dark tower? It seems to have had something hit or push down from the top causing many pieces to fall down around its base in disarray. Its similarities to the Area 51 black tower are incredible. Is it possible that Israel was creating a landing base location for aliens in the future? Whats your thoughts of this?
