The Combination of Oxygen and Methane Could Reveal the Presence of Life on Another World
In searching for life in the Universe, a field known as astrobiology, scientists rely on Earth as a template for biological and evolutionary processes. This includes searching for Earth analogs, rocky planets that orbit within their parent star’s habitable zone (HZ) and have atmospheres composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. However, Earth’s atmosphere has evolved considerably over time from a toxic plume of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and traces of volcanic gas. Over time, the emergence of photosynthetic organisms caused a transition, leading to the atmosphere we see today.
The last 500 million years, known as the Phanerozoic Eon, have been particularly significant for the evolution of Earth’s atmosphere and terrestrial species. This period saw a significant rise in oxygen content and the emergence of animals, dinosaurs, and embryophyta (land plants). Unfortunately, the resulting transmission spectra are missing in our search for signs of life in exoplanet atmospheres. To address this gap, a team of Cornell researchers created a simulation of the atmosphere during the Phanerozoic Eon, which could have significant implications in the search for life on extrasolar planets.
The research was led by Rebecca Payne and Lisa Kaltenegger, a research associate and assistant professor with the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University (respectively). The paper that describes their findings, “Oxygen Bounty for Earth-like exoplanets: Spectra of Earth through the Phanerozoic,” recently appeared in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters. They have made the full model and high-resolution spectra available online, which provide a tool to plan, optimize, and interpret observations with ground- and space-based telescopes.
The study of exoplanets is currently experiencing a transition. With 5,528 exoplanets confirmed to date, and another 9,899 candidates awaiting confirmation, the process has been moving from discovery to characterization. This transition has benefitted from next-generation ground and space-based telescopes capable of obtaining spectra directly from exoplanet atmospheres. This is a process where light is analyzed using spectrometers to identify absorption features that correspond to different chemical compounds, thus revealing vital data about the composition of an exoplanet’s atmosphere.
This can be done using the Direct Imaging method, where astronomers examine light reflected from a planet’s atmosphere (or surface). Another method involves obtaining “transmission spectra,” where astronomers analyze light passing through an exoplanet’s atmosphere as it passes in front of its star relative to the observer (transits). Thanks to observatories like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers can finally obtain transmission spectra from smaller rocky planets that orbit closer to their suns – where potentially habitable, Earth-like planets are believed to reside. As Prof. Kaltenegger told Universe Today via email:
“To date, we know of about 35 rocky exoplanets circling in the habitable zones of their stars. While at the edge of technical capability for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, analyzing the atmosphere of some of these exoplanets is now a possibility. But scientists need to know what to look for. Our models identify planets like a Phanerozoic Earth as really promising targets to find life in the cosmos, of course, that life by no means would have to be dinosaurs.”
Despite the plethora of exoplanets that have been discovered and characterized, there is a shortage of Earth analogs whose atmospheres are in various phases of evolution. This is particularly true of the Phanerozoic Eon, the current and the latest of the four geologic eons preceded by the Proterozoic, Archaen, and Hadeon Eons. This period was particularly important for the evolution of terrestrial lifeforms because of the many crucial developments that took place throughout. This includes the Cambrian Explosion, characterized by the appearance of most modern animal species in the fossil record.

It also included the Devonian, where countless aquatic species adapted to dry land; the Triassic and Jurassic, which began and ended with major extinction events (the Permian–Triassic and the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event extinction events, respectively); the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, the extinction of the dinosaurs; and the Neogene, where mammals and birds continued to evolve into modern forms, and the first modern humans appeared in the geological record. To predict what the atmosphere of this Eon would look like, said Kaltenegger, they created a model that combined established models with new atmospheric simulations:
“Our models simulated the transmission spectra generated by a planet with an atmosphere crossing our line of sight to its star, a transit. The planet’s atmosphere absorbs some of the colors of the starlight but lets others filter through, creating a ‘light fingerprint’ that scientists use to determine the atmosphere’s composition and whether there are signs of life in that atmosphere. Using estimates from two established climate models (called GEOCARB and COPSE), Rebecca Payne simulated Earth’s atmospheric composition and resulting transmission spectra over five 100-million-year increments of the Phanerozoic, the epoch when the biosphere diversified and forests became widespread, changing the mix of oxygen and other gasses in the air.”
Key to their simulations was the oxygen content of the atmosphere, which rose from about 10% at the beginning of the Phanerozoic (the Cambrian period) to 35% by the end (the Neogene). The resulting higher oxygen levels, they state, were arguably a prerequisite for the evolution of complex life – including the dinosaurs, mammals, and hominids (eventually leading to modern humans). Regardless, the “light fingerprint” their simulation produced would stand out even more than that of modern-day Earth because of the higher oxygen content.
“Analyzing the most recent 540 million years of Earth’s evolution, the Phanerozoic Eon, we found that chemical signatures of life in the atmosphere of an Earth-like exoplanet are more pronounced than for modern Earth,” said Kaltenegger. “During the Phanerozoic – that includes the time of the dinosaurs (245-66 Mio years ago), two key biosignature pairs – oxygen and methane, and ozone and methane – appeared stronger about 300 Million years ago, when oxygen levels were significantly higher.”

This research is bolstered by another recent study led by a team from Dartmouth College (on which Kaltenegger was a co-author). In their paper, which recently appeared in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (“An Information Theory Approach to Identifying Signs of Life on Transiting Planets“), the team described how they simulated a range of transmission spectra to create an algorithm for identifying potential biosignatures on Earth-analogs. They tested this algorithm on three epochs of atmospheric evolution for Earth-like planets orbiting a range of host stars.
The resulting diagnostic tool, they said, can be applied to future observations to constrain planetary habitability. This research and the model created by Payne and Kaltenegger could have drastic implications for astrobiology by providing a template for finding planets in various stages of habitability. As Kaltenegger summarized:
“So for identifying potentially habitable worlds, there was a time when this fingerprint of life was even more pronounced than now – and it was during the reign of the dinosaurs. Thus, even though finding life in the cosmos is incredibly hard, it just might have gotten a little bit easier than we thought. Jurrasic worlds – with their large, complex life – might just give us the chance to find it a tiny bit easier. And who knows, maybe we get lucky, and there are other dinosaurs waiting to be found.”
Thinking About Time Travel Helps Solve Problems in Physics

Thinking About Time Travel Helps Solve Problems in Physics
Time travel. We’ve all thought about it at one time or another, and the subject has been explored extensively in science fiction. Once in a while, it is even the subject of scientific research, typically involving quantum mechanics and how the Universe’s four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces, and gravity) fit together. In a recent experiment, researchers at the University of Cambridge showed that by manipulating quantum entanglements, they could simulate what could happen if the flow of time were reversed.
In the realm of quantum theory, entanglement describes when a group of particles are generated, interact, or share proximity in such a way that their quantum states become identical. As physicists have observed for over a century, these particles will remain in this state long after, even though they may become separated by vast distances (what Einstein referred to as “spooky action at a distance.”) This is the basis of quantum computing, where entangled particles are used to perform computations that are too complex for classical computers.

Whether or not particles can travel backward in time has also been the subject of considerable debate among physicists. While physicists have previously simulated models of how such “time travel” might occur, the Cambridge team took a new approach by connecting their theory to quantum metrology, which uses quantum theory to make highly sensitive measurements. As a result, the Cambridge team showed that entanglement can solve problems that otherwise seem impossible. Said lead author Arvidsson-Shukur in a Cambridge press release:
“Imagine that you want to send a gift to someone: you need to send it on day one to make sure it arrives on day three. However, you only receive that person’s wish list on day two. So, in this chronology-respecting scenario, it’s impossible for you to know in advance what they will want as a gift and to make sure you send the right one. Now imagine you can change what you send on day one with the information from the wish list received on day two. Our simulation uses quantum entanglement manipulation to show how you could retroactively change your previous actions to ensure the final outcome is the one you want.”
In their experiment, the team entangled two particles. The first was sent to be used in the experiment, while the second was maintained separately. The experiment then manipulated the second particle to effectively alter the first particle’s past state, changing the experiment’s outcome. To demonstrate the potential relevance of their experiment to quantum computing and other technologies, the team incorporated quantum metrology. In traditional metrology experiments, photons are prepared before being introduced onto a sample and then registered with a special camera.
Their results showed that the team can use time travel simulations to retroactively change the original photons, even if they only learn how to prepare the photons after reaching the sample. However, the team also noted that this effect was only observable in one out of four experimental runs, meaning the simulation has a 75% chance of failure. The theorists propose sending many entangled photons to counteract the high chance of failure, knowing that some will eventually carry the updated information.

They also recommend using a filter to remove the “uncorrected” photons while the updated photons pass to the camera. At best, said Arvidsson-Shuku, the experiment will produce the desired results a quarter of the time, which is tantamount to getting the desired “gift” one in four times. Moreover, if the “gifts” are inexpensive, many can be sent over extended periods, eventually leading to a statistically significant number of desirable outcomes. Of course, Arvidsson-Shuku and his colleagues stress that this is not “time travel” in the traditional sense:
“That we need to use a filter to make our experiment work is actually pretty reassuring. The world would be very strange if our time-travel simulation worked every time. Relativity and all the theories that we are building our understanding of our universe on would be out of the window. We are not proposing a time travel machine but rather a deep dive into the fundamentals of quantum mechanics. These simulations do not allow you to go back and alter your past, but they do allow you to create a better tomorrow by fixing yesterday’s problems today.”
The team’s research was supported by the Sweden-America Foundation, the Lars Hierta Memorial Foundation, Girton College, and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
UFO expert Jeremy Corbell, accompanied by investigative journalist George Knapp, released a groundbreaking episode of “Weaponized,” featuring Dr. James Lacatski and Dr. Colm Kelleher. The episode revealed insider information that had never been shared before. Dr. Lacatski and Dr. Kelleher played pivotal roles in the operation of a UFO program funded by the US government for five years, with a total budget of $22 million.
Dr. James Lacatski is a retired DIA intelligence officer who set up the UFO program that ran from 2008 to 2010. In the early 2000s, he headed up the DIA annual missile threat assessment. He originally started the research out of concern that UFOs could pose a national security threat, specifically to U.S. missile defense systems. In the interview, he says the United States Government is in possession of a UFO and has accessed the inside of it.
In the interview, while addressing the events mentioned in the newly launched book “Inside the US Government Covert UFO Program Initial Revelations,” Dr. Lacatski clarified the differences between AAWSAP and AATIP. He stated that AAWSAP (Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program) was created in collaboration with Senator Harry Reid at the DIA, with a budget of $22 million and the capacity to run for five years, though they completed their objectives in two years.
He further explains that the name AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program) was not created by him but was chosen for a specific reason, which he did not disclose. The need for a different name arose from a document that indicated DIA’s receipt of funding, with “secret” written next to the program name. To avoid potential security concerns, a different name was necessary. It is implied that AAWSAP was the original name, and someone in Congress may have designated it as AATIP.
Dr. Lacatski discussed some of the intriguing aspects of UFO cases and their various designs. He mentions how some cases involved people reporting seeing the same UFO decades apart, which raises questions about time and the nature of these sightings.
Knapp brings up a particularly important revelation in the book regarding a craft of unknown origin that the government accessed the inside of. Dr. Lacatski confirms that the book contains an exact statement of the event that occurred within a congressional facility. However, he could not provide further details due to security concerns. He clarified that the DOD reviewed the book for release, and the wording was approved.
UFO & Its Inside
In Chapter 9 of the book, Dr. Lacatski reveals that the United States government possesses a craft of unknown origin and has successfully accessed its interior. This craft has a streamlined configuration suitable for aerodynamic flight but lacks conventional features like an engine, wings, intakes, exhaust, or fuel tanks.
Corbell presses for further confirmation, asking Dr. Lacatski if the government indeed has a UFO in its possession and has been reverse-engineering it, to which Dr. Lacatski affirms, “Yes.”
Knapp follows up with a question about the nature of this object, asking how they know it is a craft and not just a doorstop. Dr. Lacatski hints that there is more to the discussion that day, but they cannot delve into those details. However, he does mention that it is described in the book as looking “primitive.”
Corbell questions why this topic is considered delicate, given that the United States government possesses a UFO and has been reverse engineering it. Dr. Lacatski explains that the sensitivity arises from the presence of adversaries and competitors who may be monitoring the information. He emphasizes that the government cannot say more than what they have been approved to share due to security concerns.
In fact, Lacatski asserted that there is no reason for humanity to fear potential non-human intelligence, provided that the human species discovers its full capabilities, stating: “If full human capabilities were known to us right now, it is not something that we need to fear.”He added: “Our capabilities have never been fully revealed. And we’re still learning; we’ve got a long way to evolve still.”
Dr. Lacatski then shifts the focus to the questions raised in his previous books, particularly “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon: An Insiders’ Account of the Secret Government UFO Program.” He points out that they have posed questions about why the program was started, why it ended, and certain unexplained meetings with high-level officials from other countries. He suggests that reading between the lines is crucial but warns that there may be multiple answers or no clear-cut bottom line.
“So the thing is, we can’t say anything more than what we’ve been approved to say, and there’s insight to this. But I want to shift it just slightly, but it shows my point: Skinwalkers at the Pentagon: An Insiders’ Account of the Secret Government UFO Program, if I might use the shorter title on this new book, has what I would call zingers in it. But it has some interesting doors that have not even been mentioned. One, why was this program started? Two, why was this program ended? And we’ve raised this partially, and Skin Walkers at the Pentagon, did it end? Also, we had a chapter in Skin Walkers at the Pentagon where we met with a high-level Brazilian official at a meeting started introducing some of our cohorts, and no one ever asked us, why did you have that meeting? What was so important about that meeting? You know, there’s a lot of material in there that, as Kit Green, Dr. Kit Green, one of our consultants on the asset program, said, ‘Read between the lines.’ That applies both to Skin Walkers at the Pentagon and Initial Revelations. Read between the lines. Now, you may come to the wrong conclusions, and I can tell you, on the topics I just read to you, you don’t have enough information to come to the correct answers
David Grusch is credible but there are forged documents
Corbell brings up the fact that former US intelligence officer David Grush testified before Congress, and many were hoping that Dr. Lacatski would testify as well. Dr. Lacatski responds that he does not know Mr. Grush and has never met him. When asked about the credibility of Grush’s claims, Dr. Lacatski refrains from making any definitive statements but mentions that he personally did not witness any illegal activities during his time in the program. He acknowledges that Grush’s claims are reasonable but does not confirm or dispute them.
Corbell probes further about Grush’s claims, particularly regarding UFOs and reverse engineering. Dr. Lacatski responds that he cannot provide any additional information on certain topics, including biological aspects, due to security reasons. “I can’t answer…no, that goes back to something that occurred, a similar question, very similar to your question. It wasn’t asked by you, but it was asked to Colm, and he said, ‘We found no smoking gun. That is the standard answer we’re to give,” Dr. Lacatski says.
Corbell expresses his curiosity about the reasons behind the secrecy and alludes to a sense of suspicion among the public. He speculates whether the reasons for withholding certain information might be dark or disturbing.
Dr. Lacatski replies, “If you want my opinion on that, I see no darkness at all here. Basically, there were some considerable write-ups on the skinwalker at the Pentagon that our program was stopped due to religious concerns from the far right. Well, if there were, I knew nothing about that. I saw no evidence of that being true. But people can say whatever they want on the internet, apparently. And that was not, that was not—I did not witness any of that. And I think that that’s come up in some of these Congressional hearings.”
Corbell asks if David Grush’s information is considered credible by Dr. Lacatski, to which he responds, “I do,” implying that the information is credible. Dr. Lacatski mentions that Grush worked with someone he knows and trusts in the UAP Task Force, indicating that there’s a level of trust in the source. However, he brings up the phenomenon where individuals can genuinely believe in and talk about things that are factually incorrect.
Corbell emphasizes that Grush has talked about tangible and physical aspects, such as program names and the locations of UFOs, along with the involvement of individuals who worked on these “Legacy UFO programs.” Dr. Lacatski confirms the existence of Legacy UFO programs and mentions the presence of forged documents.
Dr. Lacatski mentions that AAWSAP has also faced similar challenges, with certain documents being misrepresented as genuine. He highlights the closed and secretive nature of AAWSAP, comparing it to the way SAPs (Special Access Programs) operate. Only a select few within the program were aware of its existence, and it was structured to limit exposure to external influences and political inquiries.
He points out that the documents that have emerged over time as forgeries have no official endorsement or validation. It is not clear why these forgeries were created, and Dr. Lacatski suggests that if they were part of a Counter Intelligence effort, it might not have been very effective. He emphasizes that their work is based on real, verifiable references.

Area 51’s Hidden Mysteries UNVEILED: Dive into Bob Lazar’s Extraterrestrial Odyssey!
Area 51’s Hidden Mysteries UNVEILED: Dive into Bob Lazar’s Extraterrestrial Odyssey!
In the world of ufology, few names resonate as loudly as Bob Lazar’s. From claims of working on reverse-engineered extraterrestrial technology at Area 51‘s S4 base to revealing government secrets, Lazar has been a figure of fascination and controversy for decades. Now, an ambitious project aims to bring his stories to life through the immersive power of virtual reality.
Introducing Project Gravur: a unique endeavor led by Luigi Vatelli and his dedicated team. Their goal? To reconstruct Lazar’s experience at the S4 base, allowing users to walk in Bob’s shoes, so to speak.
Delving deep into this project, one uncovers the meticulous care that the Gravur team has taken. The representation is not just about the infamous sports model UFO that Lazar spoke of, but the entirety of S4—from hallways to briefing rooms and beyond. A standout feature is the recreation of the “sports model” craft. With exacting precision and attention to detail, Vatelli’s team has constructed a lifelike simulation, guided by Lazar’s own descriptions.
The project isn’t just about sights; it’s also about emotion. The aim is to humanize Bob Lazar’s story. To help users understand the thrill, curiosity, and trepidation Lazar might have felt in those hidden hallways, staring at a craft from another world.
One delightful tidbit reveals a fun aspect of the simulation. There’s a virtual death ray, inspired by one in Lazar’s Oregon lab, that can “burn a hole through anything.” While it adds a touch of levity, it also symbolizes the impressive technological feats Lazar has achieved beyond his time at S4.
Bob Lazar‘s journey with this project has been deep and collaborative. Vatelli speaks of a mutual respect and trust between them. The entire team, once skeptical, has grown to appreciate Lazar not just for his stories but as a genuine, down-to-earth individual.

S4-AREA 51 SECRETS EXPOSED: Recreating Bob Lazar’s Alien Tech Journey | The Richard Dolan Show
Scheduled for an early 2024 release, this immersive VR experience promises to be a groundbreaking addition to the realm of ufology and beyond. The film treatment, “Lazar: The Original Whistleblower,” will precede the VR project. Viewers can first understand Bob’s narrative and then virtually “become” Bob, exploring the S4 base on their own.
In an age where technology constantly evolves, the marriage of Lazar’s revelations with cutting-edge VR innovation might just be the next big step in understanding the mysteries of our universe.

Guys, this UFO is very similar to shape, color and movement to recently government released UFO videos. This object was seen over the airport which must have gotten on radar screens, but did it delay any flights? This craft is awesome, the shape is oval and about the size of a car. Breathtaking catch. Also it's compounded by the fact it's near the ocean, just a few miles away. Most alien bases on Earth are under the ocean floor, since 75% of this planet is covered it water, its just logical aliens would choose ocean floors to avoid detection and interactions with humans.

Eyewitness states:
I was at SRQ airport waiting for my flight inside the terminal and I saw this silver orb outside. Thought it was a balloon at first but it didn’t behave like one. It stayed at the same elevation/altitude the entire time. It was so steady in its flight there was no way it could have been a Mylar balloon that would have reflected light in that way.
The mysterious 'Fiji mermaid' examined by NKU students
The mysterious 'Fiji mermaid' examined by NKU students
The Fiji Mermaid, a mysterious creature housed in an Ohio museum for over a century, recently underwent examination by radiology students from Northern Kentucky University.
The creature, a 3 feet long mummified, black-looking diminutive specimen was discovered with it's mouth open, its tail turned over, and its arms thrown up, giving it the appearance of having died in great agony, reportedly donated to Ohio's Clark County Historical Society in 1906 by a Navy sailor who obtained it in Japan, intrigued the students.
The peculiar creature, featuring a human-like head and a fish's body, prompted the university's radiology department to employ CT scans and X-rays to unravel its construction.
Contrary to initial expectations of a combination of a monkey and a fish, the scans revealed additional amphibious features, especially towards the hands. The university plans to share the scan results with experts at the Cincinnati Zoo and Newport Aquarium to identify the specific animals involved in creating this enigmatic creature.
Tegenwoordig is het probleem van afval in de ruimte een nachtmerrie geworden voor astronauten en ruimtevaartexploitanten. De hoeveelheid puin in de ruimte is de afgelopen zestig jaar gestaag toegenomen, omdat steeds meer satellieten in een baan om de aarde zijn gebracht en talloze raketten zijn getest. In 2009 kwamen twee werkende satellieten met elkaar in botsing, waardoor tonnen nieuw ruimteafval met een ongelooflijke snelheid in een baan om de aarde terechtkwamen. Dit soort gebeurtenissen creëert een vicieuze cirkel: elke keer dat er puin botst, wordt er steeds meer afval geproduceerd. Iedereen die betrokken is bij de verovering van de ruimte is nu gedwongen de afvalwolken voortdurend in de gaten te houden en in geval van nood hun werkende satellieten om te leiden. Maar veel satellieten zijn ‘vergeten’ en zullen onvermijdelijk botsingen veroorzaken. Momenteel zijn alle pogingen om dit puin te minimaliseren of te vermijden ontoereikend en kunnen zware gevolgen hebben voor onze satellieten en andere activiteiten op aarde. Het wordt hoog tijd dat we onze ruimterommel opruimen!

How far does the Milky Way REALLY extend? Discoveries at the Edge of Our Galaxy | Space Documentary
Have you ever imagined what lies at the edge of our galaxy?
The Milky Way has captivated human eyes since the dawn of time. It remains magnificent and fascinating on a dark night, whether you're in the middle of the desert or on top of a mountain. On beautiful summer nights, devoid of light pollution, we can follow its path through the celestial vault without even needing an observation instrument. It forms a wispy band around the entire sky. In this band, over 200 billion stars are gathered together. Of these, around 6,000 are detectable without binoculars or telescopes
We've known since the 20th century that the Milky Way is our galaxy. This immense disk of stars is made up of a very luminous, compact central region, known as the bulge, and smaller spiral arms. The Milky Way has an estimated diameter of 100,000 light-years and a thickness of over 1,000 light-years. Since the 1990s, astronomers have discovered that our galaxy is not simply a spiral galaxy, but a barred spiral galaxy. It has a short bar of stars on either side of the central bulge. The Milky Way is home to the solar system, and thus to the Earth. It is part of the Local Group itself attached to the Virgo supercluster belonging to Laniakea.

About six months after the James Webb Space Telescope was launched into space, it intercepted a mysterious object no one can explain. The telescope spotted four most distant galaxies, which happened to be the oldest about 13.4 billion years ago. The cosmos was just 350 million years old at the time, or roughly 2% of its present age. What is this mysterious object, and how important is it to space exploration and research?

In the vast realm of UFO sightings, every once in a while, a video emerges that sends chills down the spines of even the most skeptical observers. Early this October 2023, such a video surfaced, taken by a passenger aboard a commercial airliner journeying from Bogotá to Salento in Colombia.
The Encounter
While it’s not uncommon for plane passengers to capture breathtaking views of the clouds or the sunset, capturing a potential UFO is definitely not on the usual itinerary. The footage, described as both “clear” and “crisp,” depicts what many might call a classic flying saucer, making its way through the vast blue sky.
The object’s distance from the plane or its size is hard to pinpoint. However, its distinctive shape and appearance are unmissable. At first glance, one might mistake it for a stray balloon, peacefully floating and adrift in the wind. But as you continue to observe, the object seemingly spins on its axis – a behavior often attributed to many Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
Mysteries Remain
The conversations and reactions of the passengers onboard remain a mystery, as the video doesn’t provide clarity on their sentiments. Yet, one can’t help but wonder: Was this UFO moving with purpose, or was it just gracefully floating, allowing the plane and its passengers a fleeting glimpse into the unknown?
A Must-Watch
For those intrigued by mysteries of the skies, the video is a must-watch, especially with its stabilised version, which provides an even clearer view of this remarkable sighting. Whether you’re a believer in extraterrestrial encounters or just someone with a penchant for the unexplained, this footage from the skies above Colombia will undoubtedly pique your curiosity.
As we continue to search for answers in the vastness of the universe, one thing is certain: UFO sightings, like the one captured on this Bogotá to Salento flight, remind us that the skies are full of wonders waiting to be explored.

Florida: UFO Over SRQ Airport? Shocking Daytime Sighting of Metallic Orb
Florida: UFO Over SRQ Airport? Shocking Daytime Sighting of Metallic Orb
Florida, 16th October 2023 – UFO sightings have always captured the imagination of enthusiasts and skeptics alike. Yesterday, the skies above SRQ Sarasota Bradenton International Airport bore witness to a curious phenomenon: a metallic orb, steadily hovering in broad daylight.
Check the video bellow here to view the remarkable footage.
As the afternoon sun shimmered over the horizon, travelers inside the airport terminal busied themselves, awaiting their respective flights. Among them was an observant traveler who couldn’t help but notice something out of the ordinary through the vast terminal windows.
“I was at SRQ airport waiting for my flight inside the terminal and I saw this silver orb outside,” the witness reported. At first glance, one could mistake it for a shiny balloon lost in the vast blue yonder. Yet, upon closer observation, it became evident that this was no ordinary object.
“Thought it was a balloon at first but it didn’t behave like one,” the witness added. The peculiar orb maintained its altitude with a precision not associated with conventional airborne objects like balloons. Even if it was a Mylar balloon, the reflection it cast was unusually consistent and steady.
Given the proximity of the sighting to the airport and its flight pattern, questions are abound. Was it a drone? A novel type of aircraft? Or perhaps something more mysterious?
UFO enthusiasts and researchers will undoubtedly pore over the video footage, analyzing its every detail, trying to decipher what it could possibly be. As with most UFO sightings, definitive answers might be elusive, but the intrigue and fascination will endure.
For those lucky enough to witness such events, or for anyone with an interest in the unexplained, the skies above Florida seem to hold more mysteries than ever before. With this recent sighting added to the ever-growing list of UFO encounters, one thing’s for sure: the search for answers continues.

The Big Bang Theory explains how the universe began.

The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation for howbegan. Simply put, it says the universe as we know it started with an infinitely hot and dense single point that inflated and stretched — first at unimaginable speeds, and then at a more measurable rate — over the next 13.7 billion years to the still-expanding cosmos that we know today.
Existing technology doesn't yet allow astronomers to literally peer back at the universe's birth, much of what we understand about the Big Bang comes from mathematical formulas and models. Astronomers can, however, see the "echo" of the expansion through a phenomenon known as the cosmic microwave background.
While the majority of the astronomical community accepts the theory, there are some theorists who have alternative explanations besides the Big Bang — such as eternal inflation or an oscillating universe.
Around 13.7 billion years ago, everything in the entire universe was condensed in an infinitesimally small singularity, a point of infinite denseness and heat.
Suddenly, an explosive expansion began, ballooning our universe outwards faster than the speed of light. This was a period of cosmic inflation that lasted mere fractions of a second — about 10^-32 of a second, according to physicist Alan Guth’s 1980 theory that changed the way we think about the Big Bang forever.
When cosmic inflation came to a sudden and still-mysterious end, the more classic descriptions of the Big Bang took hold. A flood of matter and radiation, known as "reheating," began populating our universe with the stuff we know today: particles, atoms, the stuff that would become stars and galaxies and so on.

This all happened within just the first second after the universe began, when the temperature of everything was still insanely hot, at about 10 billion degrees Fahrenheit (5.5 billion Celsius), according to NASA. The cosmos now contained a vast array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons — the raw materials that would become the building blocks for everything that exists today.
This early "soup" would have been impossible to actually see because it couldn't hold visible light. "The free electrons would have caused light (photons) to scatter the way sunlight scatters from the water droplets in clouds," NASA stated. Over time, however, these free electrons met up with nuclei and created neutral atoms or atoms with equal positive and negative electric charges.
This allowed light to finally shine through, about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.
Sometimes called the "afterglow" of the Big Bang, this light is more properly known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It was first predicted by Ralph Alpher and other scientists in 1948 but was found only by accident almost 20 years later.

This accidental discovery happened when Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, both of Bell Telephone Laboratories in New Jersey, were building a radio receiver in 1965 and picked up higher-than-expected temperatures, according to a NASA article. At first, they thought the anomaly was due to pigeons trying to roost inside the antenna and their waste, but they cleaned up the mess and killed the pigeons and the anomaly persisted.
Simultaneously, a Princeton University team led by Robert Dicke was trying to find evidence of the CMB and realized that Penzias and Wilson had stumbled upon it with their strange observations. The two groups each published papers in the Astrophysical Journal in 1965.
BIG BANG THEORY FAQS ANSWERED BY AN EXPERT
We asked Jason Steffens, assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, a few frequently asked questions about the Big Bang Theory.
Jason Steffens
Jason Steffens is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Has the Big Bang Theory been proven?
This isn't really a statement that we can make in general. The best we can do is say that there is strong evidence for the Big Bang Theory and that every test we throw at it comes back in support of the theory. Mathematicians prove things, but scientists can only say that the evidence supports a theory with some degree of confidence that is always less than 100%.
So, a short answer to a slightly different question is that all of the observational evidence that we've gathered is consistent with the predictions of the Big Bang Theory. The three most important observations are:
The Hubble Law shows that distant objects are receding from us at a rate proportional to their distance — which occurs when there is uniform expansion in all directions. This implies a history where everything was closer together.
The properties of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). This shows that the universe went through a transition from an ionized gas (a plasma) and a neutral gas. Such a transition implies a hot, dense early universe that cooled as it expanded. This transition happened after about 400,000 years following the Big Bang.
The relative abundances of light elements (He-4, He-3, Li-7, and Deuterium). These were formed during the era of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) in the first few minutes after the Big Bang. Their abundances show that the universe was really hot and really dense in the past (as opposed to the conditions when the CMB was formed, which was just regular hot and dense — there's about a factor of a million difference in temperature between when BBN occurred and when the CMB occurred).
Is there any occurrence that contradicts the Big Bang Theory?
Not that I know of. There are some issues that arise with the simplest model of the Big Bang, but those can be resolved by invoking a physical process that is still consistent with the basic premise of the Big Bang Theory. Specifically, the fact that the CMB temperature is the same everywhere, that the universe does not appear to have any curvature, and that density fluctuations from quantum mechanical predictions do not produce galaxy clusters of the right size and shape today. These three issues are resolved with the theory of inflation — which is part of the broader Big Bang Theory.
When was the Big Bang Theory established?
Who came up with the idea?
Hubble was really the person who set up the observations. Evidence continued to mount, especially in the 1970s with the detection of the CMB. The term "Big Bang" was first used in the late 1940s by the astronomer Fred Hoyle — eventually, it caught on in the 1970s.
MODELLING THE BIG BANG
Because we can't see it directly, scientists have been trying to figure out how to "see" the Big Bang through other measures. In one case, cosmologists are pressing rewind to reach the first instant after the Big Bang by simulating 4,000 versions of the current universe on a massive supercomputer.
"We are trying to do something like guessing a baby photo of our universe from the latest picture," study leader Masato Shirasaki, a cosmologist at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), told our sister website Live Science.
With what is known about the universe today, the researchers in this 2021 study compared their understanding of how gravitational forces interacted in the primordial universe with their thousands of computer-modeled universes. If they could predict the starting conditions of their virtual universes, they hoped to be able to accurately predict what our own universe may have looked like back at the beginning.
Other researchers have chosen different paths to interrogate our universe's beginnings.
In a 2020 study, researchers did so by investigating the split between matter and antimatter. In the study, not yet peer-reviewed, they proposed that the imbalance in the amount of matter and antimatter in the universe is related to the universe's vast quantities of dark matter, an unknown substance that exerts influence over gravity and yet doesn't interact with light. They suggested that in the crucial moments immediately after the Big Bang, the universe may have been pushed to make more matter than its inverse, antimatter, which then could have led to the formation of dark matter.
THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE

The CMB has been observed by many researchers now and with many spacecraft missions. One of the most famous space-faring missions to do so was NASA's Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite, which mapped the sky in the 1990s.
Several other missions have followed in COBE's footsteps, such as the BOOMERanG experiment (Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics), NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and the European Space Agency's Planck satellite.
Planck's observations, first released in 2013, mapped the CMB in unprecedented detail and revealed that the universe was older than previously thought: 13.82 billion years old, rather than 13.7 billion years old. The research observatory's mission is ongoing and new maps of the CMB are released periodically.
The maps give rise to new mysteries, however, such as why the Southern Hemisphere appears slightly redder (warmer) than the Northern Hemisphere. The Big Bang Theory says that the CMB would be mostly the same, no matter where you look.
Examining the CMB also gives astronomers clues as to the composition of the universe. Researchers think most of the cosmos is made up of matter and energy that cannot be "sensed" with our conventional instruments, leading to the names "dark matter" and "dark energy." It is thought that only 5% of the universe is made up of matter such as planets, stars and galaxies.
WHAT ARE GRAVITATIONAL WAVES?
While astronomers study the universe's beginnings through creative measures and mathematical simulations, they've also sought proof of its rapid inflation. They have done this by observing gravitational waves, tiny perturbations in space-time that ripple outwards from great disturbances like, for instance, two colliding black holes or the universe's birth.
According to leading theories, in the first second after the universe was born, our cosmos ballooned faster than the speed of light. (That, by the way, does not violate Albert Einstein's speed limit. He once said that light speed is the fastest anything can travel within the universe — but that statement did not apply to the inflation of the universe itself.)
As the universe expanded, it created the CMB and a similar "background noise" made up of gravitational waves that, like the CMB, were a sort of static, detectable from all parts of the sky. Those gravitational waves, according to the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, produced a theorized barely-detectable polarization, one type of which is called "B-modes."
In 2014, astronomers said they had found evidence of B-modes using an Antarctic telescope called "Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization," or BICEP2.
"We're very confident that the signal that we're seeing is real, and it's on the sky," lead researcher John Kovac, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics told Space.com in March 2014.
But by June, the same team said that their findings could have been altered by galactic dust getting in the way of their field of view. That hypothesis was supported by new results from the Planck satellite.
By January 2015, researchers from both teams working together "confirmed that the Bicep signal was mostly, if not all, stardust," the New York Times said.

However, since then gravitational waves have not only been confirmed to exist, they have been observed multiple times.
These waves, which are not B-modes from the birth of the universe but rather from more recent collisions of black hles, have been detected multiple times by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), with the first-ever gravitational wave detection taking place in 2016.
A major gravitational wave breakthrough was announced on June 28, 2023 when teams of scientists around the world reported the discovery of a "low-pitch hum" of these cosmic ripples flowing through the Milky Way. While astronomers don't definitively know what's causing the hum, the detected signal is "compelling evidence" and consistent with theoretical expectations of gravitational waves emerging from copious pairs of "the most massive black holes in the entire universe" weighing as much as billions of suns, said Stephen Taylor, a gravitational wave astrophysicist at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee who co-led the research.
Although the Big Bang is often described as an "explosion", that's a misleading image. In an explosion, fragments are flung out from a central point into a pre-existing space. If you were at the central point, you'd see all the fragments moving away from you at roughly the same speed.
But the Big Bang wasn't like that. It was an expansion of space itself – a concept that comes out of Einstein's equations of general relativity but has no counterpart in the classical physics of everyday life. It means that all the distances in the universe are stretching out at the same rate. Any two galaxies separated by distance X are receding from each other at the same speed, while a galaxy at distance 2X recedes at twice that speed.
THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE
The universe is not only expanding, but expanding faster. This means that with time, nobody will be able to spot other galaxies from Earth or any other vantage point within our galaxy.
"We will see distant galaxies moving away from us, but their speed is increasing with time," Harvard University astronomer Avi Loeb said in a March 2014 Space.com article.
"So, if you wait long enough, eventually, a distant galaxy will reach the speed of light. What that means is that even light won't be able to bridge the gap that's being opened between that galaxy and us. There's no way for extraterrestrials on that galaxy to communicate with us, to send any signals that will reach us, once their galaxy is moving faster than light relative to us."
Some physicists also suggest that the universe we experience is just one of many. In the "multiverse" model, different universes would coexist with each other like bubbles lying side by side. The theory suggests that in that first big push of inflation, different parts of space-time grew at different rates. This could have carved off different sections — different universes — with potentially different laws of physics.
"It's hard to build models of inflation that don't lead to a multiverse," Alan Guth, a theoretical physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said during a news conference in March 2014 concerning the gravitational waves discovery. (Guth is not affiliated with that study.)
"It's not impossible, so I think there's still certainly research that needs to be done. But most models of inflation do lead to a multiverse, and evidence for inflation will be pushing us in the direction of taking [the idea of a] multiverse seriously."
While we can understand how the universe we see came to be, it's possible that the Big Bang was not the first inflationary period the universe experienced. Some scientists believe we live in a cosmos that goes through regular cycles of inflation and deflation, and that we just happen to be living in one of these phases.
JWST AND THE BIG BANG

A telescope is almost like a time machine, allowing us to peer back into the distant past. With the aid of the Hubble space telescope, NASA has shown us galaxies as they were many billions of years ago — and Hubble's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, has the ability to look even deeper into the past.
NASA hopes it will see all the way back to when the first galaxies formed, nearly 13.6 billion years ago. And unlike Hubble, which sees mainly in the visible waveband, JWST is an infrared telescope — a big advantage when looking at very distant galaxies. The expansion of the universe means that waves emitted from them are stretched out, so light that was emitted at visible wavelengths actually reaches us in the infrared.
THE BIG BANG THEORY: BECOMING A HOUSEHOLD NAME
Although it took a while, TV audiences have taken a liking to the geek-inspired comedy The Big Bang Theory. (Image credit: CBS)
The name "Big Bang Theory" has been a popular way to talk about the concept among astrophysicists for decades, but it hit the mainstream in 2007 when a comedy T.V. show with the same name premiered on CBS.
Running for 279 episodes over 12 seasons, the show "The Big Bang Theory" followed the lives of a group of scientists, which included physicists, astrophysicists and aerospace engineers. The show explores the group's nerdy friendships, romances and squabbles. Its first season premiered on Sept. 24, 2007, and the show officially ended on May 16, 2019.
Although the show itself didn't dive too much into actual science, the showrunners did hire UCLA astrophysicist David Saltzberg as a science consultant for the entire run of the show, according to Science magazine. Science consultants are often hired for sci-fi and science-related shows and movies to help keep certain aspects realistic.
Thanks to Saltzberg, the characters' vocabulary included a host of science jargon and the whiteboards in the background of labs, offices and apartments throughout the show were filled with a variety of equations and information.
Over the course of the show, Saltzberg said, those whiteboards became coveted space as researchers sent him new work that they hoped might be featured there. In one episode, Saltzberg recalled, new evidence of gravitational waves was scrawled across a whiteboard that ostensibly belonged to famed physicist Steven Hawking, who also approved the text.

The show took some liberties, as it was fictional. This included fabricating some new scientific concepts and fictionalizing the politics of Nobel prizes and academia, according to Fermilab physicist Don Lincoln.
Notably, several characters in the series take trips. One episode sees main characters Leonard, Sheldon, Raj and Howard set out on a research expedition to the Arctic — many physics experiments are best performed at or near the extreme environments of the poles. Another put aerospace engineer Howard on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft and, later, a model of the International Space Station along with real-life astronaut Mike Massimino.

There are accounts of astronauts seeing unidentified flying objects (UFOs) while being in the International Space Station (ISS). Sometimes they have beenspotted during the live broadcast but the space agencies ignore them, claiming space debris, dirt in the camera’s lenses, or light effect.
However, the case of two UAPs and Samantha Cristoforetti’s scream in fear, Italy’s first female astronaut onboard the Soyuz spacecraft during docking with the International Space Station (ISS) in 2014 is still unexplainable.
Samantha Cristoforetti was born in Milan, Italy, on April 26, 1977. Between November 2014 and June 2015, she spent 200 days in space on her Futura mission to the International Space Station as a Flight Engineer for Expeditions 42 and 43. Samantha was selected as an ESA astronaut in May 2009. She joined ESA in September 2009 and completed her basic astronaut training in November 2010. She’s completely fluent in Italian, English, German, French, and Russian.

On November 23, 2014, the Soyuz TMA-14 spacecraft was planning to drop its Russian robot, Skybot F-850 to dock at the International Space Station. Cristoforetti was onboard Soyuz TMA-14 along with Roscosmos astronaut Anton Shkaplerov, and NASA astronaut Terry Virts at that time.
As the spacecraft approached the ISS and docking was in process, Cristoforetti saw what appeared to be two huge, glowing orbs zooming toward each other. The orb can be seen moving from top to bottom in the center of the screen at approximately the 1:20 mark.
What appeared on the screen, shocked Cristoforetti so much that she screamed in fear, and immediately her colleague Anton Shkaplerov can be heard saying her to calm down. The video quickly went viral and in no time, it was all over social media.
After the noticeable excitement on the video, many were wondering what Cristoforetti actually saw that caused such a response so she took to Google+ to give an explanation for the shout. Cristoforetti explains she “wasn’t prepared in the least for what I saw when we were at about 30-40 meters [from the Space Station].”
“I had released my shoulder straps quite a bit at that point, so I was floating over my seat. As I turned to look outside, at first I looked back and saw one of our Soyuz solar panels, which I had seen before of course. Then my eyes caught something in the peripheral view.
And as I slowly turned my gaze and when I realized what I was seeing, I was overcome by pure amazement and joy: the Space Station was there, but not just any view. The huge solar panels were flooded in a blaze of orange light, vivid, warm almost alien.
I couldn’t help exclaiming something aloud, which you can probably hear in the recordings of our docking, since at that point we were “hot mic” with Mission Control. Anton reminded me of that and so I tried to contain my amazement and return to the docking monitoring. When I peaked again later, the orange glow was gone.
Butch told me later that he had heard my amazement on com when “the Station had turned orange.” I didn’t know, but apparently there’s only a few seconds during day-night transition that the Station is lit by that amazing orange glow. And it happened to be exactly when I peaked outside! I feel very fortunate that I had such a unique first glimpse of our human outpost in space: such a great welcome!
The ISS live stream spotted two anomalies in 2014 while Soyuz spacecraft docking with the International Space Station (ISS)
In fact, former US Department of Defense UFO investigator Nick Pope stated that this was not only an unprecedented occurrence but also one of the greatest proofs of extraterrestrial life, not only in space but in our Solar System and very close to us.”
In her Wiki, her NASA.gov profile, and interview with Financial Times there’s no mention of the scream incident. The reporter gets closest to the mystery when asking, “Did you suffer from any unexpected/unpleasant experiences while in space?” She never mentions the scream (which seems odd considering the question) but answers in the affirmative because she “didn’t fall into the 50% who suffer space sickness.” In her latest video by NASA, she mentioned no scream incident as well.
It is unprecedented that even after everything was recorded on live footage, she never spoke about it. However, there are other outer space incidents that happened with astronauts who publicly admitted experiencing strangeness in space.
Former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin claimed to have seen what appeared to be an “organic, alien-like creature” in the space shuttle payload bay and even reported the sighting to ground control.
During his time in space, former NASA astronaut Jerry M. Linenger saw some anomalies that were not space debris. He shared his sightings in a live interview with Bild in 2018.
On May 5, 1981, retired Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Kovalyonok saw something remarkable from the porthole of Salyut 6. According to Kovalyonok, at around 6 p.m., when the spacecraft was flying over South Africa moving towards the Indian ocean, he saw an elliptical-shaped object that was flying along with the spacecraft.
Former NASA astronaut Franklin Story Musgrave said about his experience in space would shock anyone. He claimed to have seen an 8-foot-long snake, white in color, floating through space. It is hard to explain how a snake could reach space, but Musgrave has never denied it. (Click here to read the full story)

Unveiling UFO Secrets: Men in Black, Alien Autopsy, and Global Enigmas
Unveiling UFO Secrets: Men in Black, Alien Autopsy, and Global Enigmas
In a universe teeming with the vastness of space, the possibility of otherworldly beings has intrigued and haunted us for centuries. However, when two rational individuals came across evidence that potentially showcased an actual extraterrestrial entity, the world was spellbound.
For Ray and the unnamed protagonist of our story, this wasn’t just another conspiracy or a quirky headline; it became the center of their lives. In the heart of Cleveland, the cameraman stumbled upon what seemed like an alien autopsy footage. This wasn’t just another vague UFO sighting or grainy photograph from an amateur. This was a meticulous recording of what looked like an actual extraterrestrial being.
The imagery in the footage matched eerily with the worldwide reports of alien sightings. From the delicate, otherworldly features of the supposed alien to its unique biological characteristics, the footage seemed to reveal a creature straight out of millions of eyewitness accounts. But was this the ultimate proof humanity had been waiting for?
VIDEO:
However, the enigma didn’t end there. Stories of military leaders, astronauts, doctors, lawyers, and ordinary individuals witnessing UFOs or having encounters with extraterrestrial beings have been consistent across history. Tales of sky battles in the 16th century, UFO sightings in the 18th century, and many more weave a tapestry of mystery that blankets our past.
As our duo delved deeper, they came across a slew of evidence pointing to an ongoing interaction between humanity and these otherworldly entities. From the alleged animal mutilations to chilling accounts of human genetic and hybrid experimentation, it felt as though humanity was but a plaything in the hands of a far more advanced civilization.
But the most significant question that remains is, do the governments of the world already know about these beings? If they do, why the silence?
The weight of the evidence grows heavier every day. As more people from all corners of the world continue to report strange occurrences, lights in the sky, and encounters with beings not of this world, the clamor for transparency becomes even more urgent.
In the end, whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, the evidence is undeniable that we’re not alone. As we continue our quest for understanding, one can only hope that the truth will soon emerge from the shadows. Until then, the enigma of the alien autopsy remains one of the greatest mysteries of our time.
'Scary Barbie' is an incredibly bright cosmic object that has been burning for two years, and it has yet to sputter out.

Astronomers have detected one of the longest, brightest and most energetic cosmic objects ever observed — and they've named it "Scary Barbie," in part due to its terrifying power.
The remote object, an astonishingly bright flash of light that has lasted for more than two years, was discovered lurking inside an enormous data set gathered by computer-guided telescopes.
After finding the brightly burning patch of sky in the data and cross-referencing it with observations made by other telescopes, the astronomers realized they had stumbled across one of the most powerful cosmic explosions ever witnessed. They reported their findings April 17 on the preprint server arXiv, and their paper has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
"It's absurd. If you take a typical supernova and multiply it a thousand times, we're still not at how bright this is — and supernovas are among the most luminous objects in the sky," co-author Danny Milisavljevic, an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Purdue University, said in a statement. "This is the most energetic phenomenon I have ever encountered."
Scary Barbie was born from the final death throes of a star being torn to shreds by a supermassive black hole.
Black holes feed upon unfortunate stars that cross their paths, using tidal forces exerted by their immense gravitational pulls. As the star is reeled ever closer to the black hole's maw, the gravity affecting the regions of the star closer to the black hole is far stronger than that acting on the star's farside. This disparity "spaghettifies" the star into a long, noodle-like string that gets tightly wound around the black hole layer by layer — like spaghetti around a fork.
This noodle of hot plasma then quickly accelerates around the black hole and spins out into an enormous jet of energy and matter, which produces a distinctive bright beam of light — known as a transient event — that optical, X-ray and radio-wave telescopes can detect.
Because Scary Barbie's light came from a remote region of the sky — traveling around 7.7 billion years across the expanding fabric of space-time — astronomers didn't spot the event directly. Instead, by developing a machine-learning system called Recommender Engine For Intelligent Transient Tracking, the researchers combed through data from many observations before finding the extremely bright light source. By using the Lick Observatory in California and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the researchers were better able to characterize the light as coming from a transient event.
But Scary Barbie — a nickname made by appending its randomly assigned alphanumeric name, ZTF20abrbeie, with a reference to its frightening power — is weird even among other rare and extreme astronomical events. It is much brighter than any other transient event the astronomers could compare it to, and, while transient events usually last only weeks or months, Scary Barbie has already burned incandescently for more than two years, with no indication it will sputter out.
The astronomers said further observations of Scary Barbie, possibly using the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope, could enable them to snap some high-resolution images of the incredibly rare cosmic outburst.
"There are few things in the universe that can be so powerful, reactions that can be this long-lived," Milisavljevic said. "Discoveries like this really open our eyes to the fact that we are still uncovering mysteries and exploring wonders in the universe — things no one has ever seen before."
Mysterious Messages from the Cosmos: The Enigma of Crop Circles
Mysterious Messages from the Cosmos: The Enigma of Crop Circles
For decades, vast fields of wheat and corn have been transformed overnight into intricate designs known as crop circles. These complex patterns often appear without explanation and have intrigued scientists, paranormal enthusiasts, and skeptics alike. Do these crop circles serve as a message from extraterrestrial intelligences, or are they just elaborate hoaxes?
Crop Circles – An Overview:
Crop circles, geometric patterns that emerge overnight in fields, have been a topic of intense debate and curiosity. Originating in the English countryside, these patterns have since been reported worldwide. With perfect geometry and precision, they often stretch hundreds of meters, leaving many experts baffled.
Significance of the Date – July 14th:
A particularly interesting observation is the recurring appearance of intricate designs on the date of July 14th. One such design in Somerset mirrored the geometry of particles being pulled into a black hole. Could these patterns hint at interdimensional portals or methods of traversing vast cosmic distances?
The Phenomenon of Phantom Shapes:
In 2017, a remarkable event occurred in Clay Hill, England. A design spanning over 70 meters appeared in a wheat field. The subsequent year, canola plants were sown in the same area. Astonishingly, the canola did not grow where the previous year’s design had been, hinting at residual energy impacting the growth. These ghostly imprints are referred to as “phantom shapes”, serving as evidence that the phenomenon is not just a simple man-made deception.
A Touch of the Spiritual:
Perhaps one of the most moving accounts came from Switzerland. Following the passing of a field’s owner, a crop circle manifested nearby. The design, a circle with 12 left-leaning blades, appeared during the family’s time of grief, leading many to interpret it as a cosmic message of love and connection.
The Message Behind Crop Circles:
Jaime Maussan, a renowned Mexican journalist covering extraterrestrial phenomena, believes that crop circles are a way of communicating a simple, yet profound message: “You are not alone”. He suggests that these patterns are a call to humanity to mature, acknowledge our place in the cosmos, and address the environmental crises we face.

While the origins and meanings of crop circles remain shrouded in mystery, one thing is certain: they captivate our imagination and challenge our understanding of the world. Whether they are interstellar messages, natural phenomena, or human-made art, crop circles continue to be a subject of wonder and speculation.
Onderzoekers hebben de precieze datum bepaald waarop een asteroïde mogelijk de aarde zou kunnen inslaan, met een kracht die gelijk is aan die van 22 atoombommen. Dit hemellichaam, genaamd Bennu, nadert onze planeet elke zes jaar. Wetenschappers zijn echter van mening dat 24 september 2182 de datum zou kunnen zijn waarop er een reëel risico bestaat op een botsing tussen de aarde en de asteroïde.
Ondanks dat de mogelijke datum van de apocalyptische gebeurtenis nog ver weg is, is NASA momenteel bezig met intensieve inspanningen om de asteroïde Bennu af te buigen en bevindt zij zich in de laatste fase van haar missie. Zeven jaar geleden lanceerde de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie een sonde naar de asteroïde met als doel monsters te verzamelen, in de hoop dat de verzamelde informatie een mogelijke catastrofale ontmoeting zou kunnen helpen voorkomen.
Asteroïden hebben de aarde door de jaren heen vele malen getroffen. Bekijk de volgengalerij voor enkele van de meest betekenisvolle effecten.
Meteor Crater, ook bekend als Barringer Crater, gelegen nabij Flagstaff, Arizona, is een grote meteorietinslagkrater. Dit opmerkelijke natuurverschijnsel is een van de best bewaarde kraters in zijn soort op onze planeet, met een diameter van ongeveer 1200 meter en een diepte van ongeveer 170 meter.

De schilderachtige Tswaing-krater ligt ten noordwesten van Pretoria en is vermoedelijk tussen de 220.000 en 52.000 jaar oud. Met name blijkt uit archeologisch bewijs dat de krater minstens 100.000 jaar geleden door mensen werd bezocht, zoals blijkt uit stenen werktuigen uit het middensteentijdperk.
Het Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve in het Northern Territory van Australië bestaat uit minstens 14 kraters. Deze kraters zijn het resultaat van een meteoriet die uit elkaar viel bij een botsing met het aardoppervlak. De grootste krater, die een combinatie is van twee kleinere kraters, is 217 meter lang, 111 meter breed en 15 meter diep.
Het El'gygytgyn-meer ligt binnen de poolcirkel in het noordoosten van Siberië en werd ongeveer 3,6 miljoen jaar geleden gevormd uit een inslagkrater van een asteroïde.
De inslagstructuur van Araguainha is gemakkelijk herkenbaar als een cirkelvormige omtrek met een diameter van 40 km (25 mijl), gelegen op de grens van de staten Mato Grosso en Goiás. Het wordt beschouwd als de grootste inslagkrater van Zuid-Amerika.
De Nördlinger Ries is een belangrijke inslagkrater in het westen van Beieren en het oosten van Baden-Württemberg. Het werd gebruikt als trainingslocatie voor de Apollo 14-astronauten. De foto toont de zuidelijke bosrand van de Nördlinger Ries.
De Haughton-krater, gevonden op het eiland Devon in Nunavut, is vermoedelijk ongeveer 39 miljoen jaar oud en is het resultaat van een asteroïde-inslag die een 23 km brede krater creëerde.
Het Lappajärvi-meer, gelegen in de Finse regio Zuid-Österbotten, is een watermassa die de gedeeltelijk geërodeerde meteorietinslagkrater van Lappajärvi beslaat. Deze indrukwekkende krater, die 23 kilometer (14 mijl) beslaat, dient als herinnering aan een gebeurtenis die ongeveer 76 miljoen jaar geleden plaatsvond.
De Chicxulub-krater, gelegen onder het schiereiland Yucatán, is het gevolg van een enorme asteroïde-botsing die ongeveer 66 miljoen jaar geleden plaatsvond en leidde tot het uitsterven van dinosauriërs. Op deze NASA-foto van het noordwestelijke deel van het schiereiland benadrukt een vage donkergroene curve de overblijfselen van de inslagkrater, die de op een na grootste ter wereld is.
In het jaar 1908 drong een meteoriet de atmosfeer van de aarde binnen, maar in plaats van de grond te raken, ontplofte hij in de lucht. Deze buitengewone gebeurtenis vond plaats nabij de rivier Podkamennaya Tunguska en resulteerde in een wijdverbreide verwoesting. Hoewel er zich geen zichtbare krater vormde, veroorzaakte de explosie het afvlakken van ongeveer 80 miljoen bomen, waardoor een uitgestrekt bosgebied van 2.150 vierkante kilometer (830 vierkante mijl) werd aangetast. Bekende bronnen die informatie verstrekken over dit incident zijn onder meer NASA, de National Park Service, Smithsonian Magazine, Geopark Ries en EarthSky.

Milky Way is Embedded in Tilted Dark Matter Halo, Research Suggests
Milky Way is Embedded in Tilted Dark Matter Halo, Research Suggests
The outer disk of our Milky Way Galaxy is warped and flared. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain these phenomena, but none have reproduced both features. Recent work has demonstrated that the Milky Way’s stellar halo is tilted with respect to the disk plane, suggesting that at least some component of the dark matter halo may also be tilted. In a new modeling study, astronomers from the Harvard and Smithsonian’s Center for Astrophysics show that a dark halo tilted in the same direction as the stellar halo can induce a warp and flare in the Milky Way’s disk at the same amplitude and orientation as the data. The work bolsters current thinking about how our Galaxy evolved and may offer clues into some of the mysteries of dark matter.
From a great distance, our Milky Way Galaxy would look like a thin disk of stars that orbits once every few hundred million years around its central region, where hundreds of billions of stars provide the gravitational ‘glue’ to hold it all together. But this pull of gravity is much weaker in the Galaxy’s far outer disk. There, the hydrogen atoms making up most of the Milky Way’s gas disk are no longer confined to a thin plane, instead they give the disk an S-like, or warped, appearance.

The Milky Way Galaxy is located inside a diffuse cloud called the stellar halo, which extends much farther out into the Universe.
In a previous work, Jiwon Jesse Han and colleagues deduced that the stellar halo is tilted and elliptical in shape, like a zeppelin or football.
Building on that, they assumed the same shape for the dark matter halo, the larger entity that encompasses everything in and around the Milky Way.
Dark matter makes up 80% of the Galaxy’s mass but is invisible because it doesn’t interact with light, so the shape of that halo must be inferred.
Using models to calculate the orbits of stars within a tilted, oblong dark matter halo, the astronomers found a near-perfect match to existing observations of a warped, flared galaxy.
“A tilted dark halo is actually fairly common in simulations, but no one had explored its effect on the Milky Way,” said Dr. Charlie Conroy, co-author of the study.
“It turns out that the tilt is an elegant way to explain both the magnitude and direction of our Galaxy’s wobbly disk.”
Astronomers had long surmised that the Milky Way formed due to a galactic collision; the new work further underscores that hypothesis.
“If the Galaxy was just evolving on its own, it would have had this nice, spherical halo, this nice, flat disk,” Han said.
“So the fact that the halo is tilted and has a football-like shape suggests that our Galaxy experienced a merger event, where two galaxies collide.”
Their calculation of the dark matter halo’s probable shape may also provide clues as to the properties and particle nature of dark matter itself, which remain unsolved mysteries in physics.
“The fact that the Galaxy is not spherical in our data implies that there is some limit to which dark matter can interact with itself,” Han said.
“Confidence in these findings might lead to better ways to cleverly study the unobservable dark matter that makes up most of the Universe.”
“This includes new ways to pick up on kinematic signatures of dark sub-halos, which are miniature dark matter halos zipping around the Galaxy.”
A paper on the findings was published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

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.
In the past 90 years, UFO sightings have been reported countless times. However, it was only since 2017 that the world began to take the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) seriously. From dismissing UFOs as hoaxes to conductingUAP hearings, many things have changed regarding this subject. The United States and other world governments have started treating this matter seriously, and NASA has even established a division to study these phenomena. Interestingly, there is a massive UFO buried on Earth, hidden from the public eye.
Before the 2023 Congressional UAP hearings, on the Jay Anderson show “Project Unity,” award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart dropped a bomb. He revealed that there exists a huge UFO in the possession of the United States that cannot be moved, and he knows the location of the craft. Ross mentioned the existence of non-human intelligence engaging with Earth for a long time and the recovery of certain objects, but he could not disclose specific details due to concerns about revealing advanced technologies.
In the interview, Coulthart discussed the potential implications of the new US Senate intelligence bill. He mentions Douglas Dean Johnson’s writings about the bill, which apparently requires holders of non-earth origin or exotic UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) material to make it available to the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) within six months.
Anderson raises a concern that this six-month window could give those holding such materials enough time to hide or conceal them. Ross acknowledged the possibility but suggested that some of the UAP materials could be so large that they cannot be easily moved. He mentions the existence of a building constructed over such a massive object in a foreign country, which may sound preposterous to some.
Okay, people are going to question what I’m about to say. What if some of that [__] is so big it can’t be moved?. [They are] so big they built a building over it in a country outside of the United States of America. I know that sounds preposterous, and I know, oh my God, you can just hear them now, the bleeding debunkers. Let’s see this investigated. Let’s just see what happens. Let’s test these allegations before Congress,” Ross said.
He highlighted the importance of conshttps://www.howandwhys.com/idering the implications if some of the claims, such as those made by David Grush, turn out to be true. He specifically mentions the idea that certain objects might be too large to be moved, which Anderson finds astonishing. Coulthart revealed to Anderson that he shared this information for the first time in the interview.
Further, at the end of his interview, Coulthart claims that he knows the exact location of this gigantic UFO. He is sure that this information would come out one day.
“It’s really interesting because it’s absolutely gobsmacking that it’s being kept as a secret. Imagine having an object that’s so big, it’s just not conceivable to move it. I thought it was bollocks when I heard it too, and most people listening to this will, anyway. But yeah, I mean, again, just an allegation, but one that I’m, you know, assured should be taken seriously and hopefully will be investigated by Congress. Because, again, where did the money come from? What’s that money accounted for? The continued security and control of such an object for many decades. Who’s paid for that? What programs have paid for that? Has that been disclosed to taxpayers? This is gonna be a really fun inquiry if Congress starts doing its…”
In a recent episode of “The UFO Podcast,” host Andy engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Ross. The discussion centered around the secrecy surrounding UFO sightings and government knowledge. Ross, who has deep insights into the matter, shared his perspective on why certain details remain undisclosed.
Andy began by addressing a critical question that’s been on the minds of many UFO enthusiasts: the location of the mysterious craft. He asked Ross whether he could reveal where the craft was being held.
Ross responded: “Let me tell you, I can’t tell you the country it’s in; it’s not America. But what I can tell you is that the place where it is kept is used for another purpose that is a laudatory purpose that’s as much in your interests in your country in the UK as it is in mine in Australia and as it is in America. The simple reasons are that there are other uses for the place where this object is stored, and we could end up with a storm Area 51 type scenario if you came out and announced it.”
Ross went on to explain the potential consequences of revealing such information, including international incidents and threats to the safety of personnel at the facilities. He also emphasized the importance of protecting sources, drawing on his experience as a journalist dealing with sensitive intelligence:
Ross Coulthart: “I don’t want the personnel in those facilities to be hurt, and it could create an international incident. I mean, it’s up to the US to make a judgment about it. So many people privately know what’s going on. What’s going on is pretty bloody horrifying and confronting and outrageous. I know the White House knows about it.”
Ross further says “I’ve been in situations where I’ve known the identities of active intelligence operatives in countries overseas, and I’ve realized, Christ, if I published this, I could jeopardize their lives. There is an element of source protection as well.”
He expressed a wish for more significant leadership and transparency from the US government. “I wish somebody in the US intelligence community would show leadership and develop a spine and go to the White House National Security adviser and say, ‘Mr. Sullivan, for God’s sake, let us put out some kind of a statement because we really are at that state at the moment.'”
Ross believes that the evidence regarding non-human intelligence engaging with the planet is undeniable and should be shared with the public. “I think they should say that we are aware of a non-human intelligence engaging with this planet, and the reason I say that they should say that is because I know the evidence is incontrovertible.”
This revelation left the UFO community curious about the place where the craft might be situated. Interestingly, the late former CIA pilot John Lear previously mentioned the existence of buried crafts too massive to move. In 2018, Lear posted on Facebook, recounting the enigmatic tale of a massive buried UFO near Garrison, Utah. This peculiar incident became a topic of discussion at a UFO conference in Las Vegas, piquing Lear’s curiosity. (Click here to read the full article)
Lear even provided the coordinates of the location: Latitude 38 degrees 37 minutes 40 seconds North, Longitude 113 degrees 40 minutes 40 seconds West. This further deepens the mystery, leaving people intrigued about the truth surrounding the buried UFO near Garrison, Utah.
Moreover, there is alleged John Lear’s statement on the alien presence, posted to Paranet on December 29, 1987. Here are the paragraphs published by UFOmind.com discussing the buried craft: [this page was first archived on January 31, 1997]
“Moore is also in possession of more Aquarius documents a few pages of which leaked out several years ago and detailed the supersecret NSA project which had been denied by them until just recently. In a letter to Senator John Glenn NSA’s Director of Policy Julia B. Wetzel wrote, “Apparently there is or was an Air Force project by that name Aquarius) which dealt with UFO’s. Coincidentally, there is also an NSA project by that name.”
NSA’s project Aquarius deals specifically with the ‘communications with aliens’ (the EBE’s). Within the Aquarius program was project ‘Snowbird’ a project to test fly A recovered alien aircraft at Groom Lake, Nevada. This project continues today at that location. In the words of an individual who works at Groom Lake ‘our people are much better at taking things apart than they are at putting them back together’. Another saw a saucer being trucked into the Nevada Test Site in March of 1988. Still another informant witnessed a saucer being buried at that location (for God knows whatever reason) during the second week of August 1988.”
There is another version of this statement: (Source)
“Germany may have recovered a flying saucer as early as 1939. General James H. Doolittle went to Sweden in 1946 to inspect a flying saucer that had crashed there in Spitzbergen…
In July of 1952, a panicked government watched helplessly as squadron of “flying saucers” flew over Washington, D.C., and buzzed the White House, the Capitol Building, and the Pentagon. It took all the imagination and intimidation the government could muster to force that incident out of the memory of the public.
Thousands of sightings occurred during the Korean war and several more saucers were retrieved by the Air Force. Some were stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, some were stored at Air Force bases near the location of the crash sight.
One saucer was so enormous and the logistic problems in transportation so enormous that it was buried at the crash sight and remains there today. The stories are legendary on transporting crashed saucers over long distances, moving only at night, purchasing complete farms, slashing through forests, blocking major highways, sometimes driving 2 and 3 lo-boys in tandem with an extraterrestrial load a hundred feet in diameter.”
On Neil Mitchel’s radio show in Australia, Ross offered valuable insights into the evolving landscape of UAP disclosures. He speculated about the possibility of the UFO truth becoming public knowledge in the near future, suggesting that within 12 to 18 months, the world might have a clearer understanding of the mysterious phenomenon of UAPs and UFOs. “I think that the world will probably know publicly within, I suspect, 12 to 18 months,” he said.
Now, Andy asked Ross to expand on how we might transition from the current state of awaiting legislation to a potential acknowledgment within the specified timeframe. Ross emphasized that his optimism about a forthcoming disclosure was contingent on key legislative actions. He explained that if the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the Intelligence Act passed with UAP reforms that mandated informing Congress about any Legacy UAP program, it could open the door to greater transparency. He continued to say, “I’m very optimistic that by the end of next year or the year following, early in the year following, we’ll have an idea of what’s been going on, and that’s because essentially Congress is mandating that this happen.”
However, Ross expressed a concern regarding Congress’s commitment to informing the public, noting that leaks could occur even if Congress decided not to disclose information. He stated, “I’m amazed Congress hasn’t leaked already, frankly because I know what’s been said to very important intelligence committees both in the house and in the Senate.”
Ross highlighted the significance of former senior public officials coming forward to share their knowledge and insights in the next 12 months. He expected that more of these individuals would break their silence. He also raised questions about the possibility of future hearings involving the Intelligence Community Inspector General, Thomas Monheim, and his investigation into David Grush’s claims.
This morning, a new NASA mission launched toward one of the Solar System’s strangest residents.
Asteroid 16 Psyche is a metal-rich object that may be a remnant of an ancient collision that rendered the heart of a now-dead planet bare. Or, it signals that the Solar System used to be more peculiar than once thought, with Psyche having grown out from a particularly metal-rich pocket. Astronomers don’t know much about this oddity in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, a distance about three times farther than Earth is from the Sun.
After a delay last week due to weather conditions, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft set sail toward the metal-rich asteroid. The mission launched on Friday at 10:19 a.m. Eastern time from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.
Its next major maneuver is to unfurl its cross-shaped solar panels. This takes place an hour after launch, and each wing will take a little more than seven minutes to deploy and latch into place. When they are fully deployed, the spacecraft will reach the size of a singles tennis court.
WHERE IS THE SPACECRAFT GOING?
Then, the spacecraft settles into its six-year journey to asteroid Psyche. The asteroid's distance from the Sun is about 235 million to 309 million miles, But the probe will travel 2.5 billion miles through the Solar System to reach it, cruising in an ever-expanding spiral and hopscotching on Mars’ gravity to speed up and set its trajectory.
When the spacecraft finally enters orbit around asteroid Psyche, the trio of instruments onboard will collect data from various altitudes, ranging from 400 miles and getting up-close to just around 47 miles above the asteroid’s surface, which Nicky Fox, associate administrator for NASA’s science directorate, called “freaking cool!”

WHY IS NASA STUDYING ASTEROIDS LIKE PSYCHE?
Psyche is one of several active asteroid-centric missions at NASA. The space agency witnessed the descent of samples from asteroid Bennu on September 24, the first time it had attained such a dusty prize.
The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which plucked this material, is now sailing towards Apophis, an intriguing asteroid that will fly near Earth in 2029. Another NASA mission called Lucy is flying through the Solar System towards a mysterious population of asteroids near Jupiter. Before it reaches its first of these so-called Trojan asteroids, it will visit asteroid Dinkinesh on November 1, 2023.
Studying these pieces of space rock helps scientists better understand the origins of the universe and what occurred as planets were forming. The asteroid Psyche is even more intriguing. Preliminary research suggests that it could be dense, and be abundant in iron. Scientists will have a better understanding of Psyche and what it could mean once they get a closer look. Unfortunately, they’ll have to wait until 2029.

The Intriguing Tales of Bob Lazar: Area 51’s Most Controversial Whistleblower
In the realm of UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists, few names shine as brightly as Bob Lazar. As the man who famously blew the whistle on Area 51 and the U.S. government’s alleged extraterrestrial projects, Lazar’s tale is a gripping mix of suspense, revelation, and controversy.
Las Vegas, 1989:Most of the world knew little about Area 51, a top-secret military installation buried deep in the Nevada desert. But on May 15th, an investigative report on local TV station KLAS would change that forever. An anonymous figure, only identified as “Dennis”, was interviewed. Veiled in shadows, “Dennis” made startling claims: he had been employed at Area 51 and had witnessed nine extraterrestrial flying discs. This, he declared, was technology far beyond our current understanding.
The claims might have vanished into the abyss of conspiracy theories, except for one detail: “Dennis” was soon revealed to be Bob Lazar. By unveiling his identity, Lazar effectively put himself in the crosshairs. He believed this was his safety net – by publicizing his knowledge, he felt he would be less likely to vanish mysteriously. And as he would later share, his life had already been threatened, his home invaded, and menacing messages left for him.
Over the years, Lazar’s revelations have continued to captivate. He described alien reactors, machines that, if understood, could revolutionize our world, reshaping everything from transport to the economy. Imagine a world without the need for fuel, where travel is not bound by our current limitations. It’s a utopia that, according to Lazar, could become a reality if the secrets of Area 51 are fully unveiled.
Yet, after his explosive allegations, Lazar stepped back from the limelight, preferring a life out of the public gaze. However, the allure of his narrative never truly faded. In 2018, filmmaker Jeremy Corbell brought Lazar’s story back into focus with the documentary “Bob Lazar: Area 51, and Flying Saucers.” In it, Lazar reiterated his claims, asserting that in the late 1980s, the U.S. government had, indeed, recovered multiple alien spacecrafts, studying them secretly in the desert.
But, as with all such tales, there are skeptics. The U.S. government has consistently denied Lazar’s allegations, and some critics argue inconsistencies in his narrative. Yet, whether one believes Lazar’s tales or not, his influence is undeniable. Thanks to him, Area 51 is now synonymous with extraterrestrial mysteries, and his story continues to inspire debates, research, and the quest for the truth about our universe.
