60 Meter Sunken Ship Discovered Off Wisteria Island, Florida Keys, UFO Sighting News.
60 Meter Sunken Ship Discovered Off Wisteria Island, Florida Keys, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: Nov 4, 2023
Location of discovery: Wisteria Island, Florida Keys, USA
Guys, I was exploring Google Earth when I found a long old ship off a small island called Wisteria island. The ship looks like it could be a US military ship that sunk during WWI or WWII, but could go back much earlier. According to Google ruler, it measures about 60 meters. ITs not a UFO, but I like to post things I discovery, things I think others may have interest in. I don't believe anyone has ever found this one or posted about it, so here it is. Someone is going to have some fun exploring this scuba diving.
Ex-Security Pro Drops SHOCKING Alaska UFO Footage! Must-See Revelation!
Ex-Security Pro Drops SHOCKING Alaska UFO Footage! Must-See Revelation!
In the vast, icy expanses ofAlaska, there’s a mystery that has been baffling locals and experts alike for decades. UFO sightings, while reported worldwide, seem particularly concentrated in one intriguing area of the state: the Alaska Triangle, with Mount Hayes right at its heart. But why is this remote region such a hotspot for unexplained aerial phenomena?
Mount Hayes: A Focal Point of the Unknown
At a towering 14,000 feet, Mount Hayes isn’t just another peak in the Alaskan range. It has drawn the attention of UFO investigators from around the globe. Few dare to scale its treacherous slopes, but it isn’t the peak that intrigues them—it’s what might lie beneath.
Former security officer Jared Augustine, while on patrol in 2016, captured puzzling video footage of a strange flashing light that split into three. This was just one of over 6,500 reported UFO sightings in Alaska. He stated, “There’s no satellite or aircraft that can divide into three like this. I believe it was a UFO of extraterrestrial origin.”
Alaskan Disappearances: A Pattern Emerges
The mysteries of Mount Hayes don’t stop at UFO sightings. Over 16,000 people have vanished within the confines of the Alaska Triangle. Could there be a connection? Is there a clandestine base hidden beneath Mount Hayes responsible for these strange occurrences? Many believers think so.
Charles Gaines, an electrician, shared an account from 2003 where he and his team witnessed an “armada” of UFOs while working on a remote wilderness lodge. They were “high, very fast, and seemed to defy the laws of physics,” he recalled.
Even eerier, a group of hikers in 1978 came across a sight that would haunt them for years: an indentation in the ground from a UFO landing, surrounded by the mutilated carcasses of various animals, including a 15-foot killer whale, hundreds of miles from any coast.
Secret Government Involvement?
What’s more captivating is the potential involvement of the U.S. government in these phenomena. There are whispers of a project named Stargate, initiated in the 1970s. Its aim? To employ psychics to spy, gathering intelligence on the Soviet Union, but potentially on these very extraterrestrial occurrences as well.
Historian Sasha Auerbach shares insights on Project Stargate, which involved the U.S. Army and the prestigious Stanford Research Institute. The project focused on individuals with psychic abilities, hinting at the U.S. government’s vested interest in matters well beyond our typical understanding.

Former Security Officer Reveals Mysterious Alaska UFO Video | The Alaska Triangle
UFO sightings in Alaska, especially around Mount Hayes, beckon the curious, the brave, and those seeking answers. As we delve deeper into these mysteries, one can’t help but wonder: Are we truly alone? Or is there something, or someone, out there trying to make contact?
NASA’s Lucy spacecraft delivered an extra-special data package when it flew past asteroid Dinkinesh in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter on Wednesday.
Dinkinesh was a trial target for the mission’s terminal tracking system as it flies toward a collection of ancient asteroids near Jupiter called the Trojans. Up until Wednesday, Dinkinesh was considered the smallest asteroid in the main belt to ever get an up-close spacecraft visit. But Dinkinesh was usurped when a tiny moonlet appeared orbiting around it.
DINKINESH AND ITS MOONLET
Lucy principal investigator Hal Levison calls the finding “marvelous.” According to an announcement from NASA published Thursday, the team had some suspicions about a second rock. Dinkinesh changed brightness in the weeks prior to Lucy’s flyby, a hint that, as the spacecraft crept closer, a moonlet was creating noticeable shadows as it passed in front of the larger object.
NASA’s Lucy spacecraft took this image of asteroid Dinkinesh and its small satellite on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, with its Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (L’LORRI) instrument.
The finding offers bonus science to what was otherwise a test-heavy rendezvous. Dinkinesh is interesting because of its location and diminutive size, at just half a mile across at its widest. The smaller asteroid is a measly 0.15 miles across, roughly the size of half a city block. In the coming weeks, Lucy’s team will download even more data from the encounter. And someday, this could add nuance to what’s already known about the main asteroid belt.
TESTING OUT LUCY’S ABILITY TO LOCK ONTO A TARGET
The goal of the game was to test out Lucy’s systems. When the spacecraft launched in 2021, Lucy was set to test its systems on another main belt asteroid, Donaldjohanson. Last year, the Lucy team realized the spacecraft would fly near Dinkinesh, so they rerouted to get really close. This second testing opportunity provides a more robust evaluation of how well the spacecraft can lock onto a target, a critical feature of the mission that will be doing all of its science while careening past the elusive Trojans at 15,000 miles per hour. }The Trojans are a strange lot. They orbit the Sun inside Jupiter’s orbit, just ahead and behind the gas giant as two grand swarms. Lucy will spend the great majority of its time flying through space, weaving through the inner Solar System, and getting just moments to take imagery and data on each one. Wednesday’s flyby is giving the team confidence that Lucy is prepped for what lies ahead for this decade.
Humans having sex with a now-extinct subspecies they met in Asia some 60,000 years ago could be the reason you have depression, a new study has claimed.
Researchers discovered a gene variant linked to the crossbreeding of humans and Denisovans which they believe affects our mood.
Those with the variant have lower levels of zinc in the body - a nutrient which studies increasingly show is associated with mood and happiness.
Scientists said SLC30A9 is the most widespread Denisovan gene discovered to date - starting in Asia and has spread to European and Native American populations.
Only recently with the advances in genomic sequencing has it been possible for scientists to trace modern human's DNA back to our ancient ancestors.
Researchers led by Barcelona's Pompeu Fabra University discovered a gene variant dwindling from the intermingling with an archaic human, Denisovans, involved in zinc regulation that releases lower amounts
The the mutation helped Denisovans cope with the cold, hostile climate that once ravaged Asia
The different branches of the human family tree have interbred and swapped genes — a processes known as 'introgression' — on numerous occasions.
Elena Bosch, IBE principal investigator and co-leader of the study, and her team identified an adaptive variant among current human populations in a region of our genome that bears remarkable similarity to the genome of an extinct ancestral population: the Denisovans.
'We discovered that this mutation surely had implications for the transport of zinc within the cell,' said Bosch.
Researchers did look into Neanderthal heritage but found the population was absent of the mutation.
Rubén Vicente, MELIS-UPF principal investigator, then joined the team to analyze intracellular zinc's movement.
'Elena contacted me because her team had observed a change in an amino acid in a zinc transporter, which was very different between the populations of Africa and Asia today, Vicente said.
'From there, we started asking ourselves questions and looking for answers.'
His laboratory identified that the observed variant causes a new zinc balance within the cell, promoting a change in metabolism.
This led them to find that the mutation helped Denisovans cope with the cold, hostile climate that once ravaged Asia.
Zinc transport is also involved in nervous system excitability and plays a role in people’s mental equilibrium and health.
The team points out that the variant found in this zinc transporter, which is expressed in all tissues of the body, is associated with a greater predisposition to suffering from some psychiatric diseases.
These include anorexia nervosa, hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia.
The Denisovans are thought to have been a sister species of the Neanderthals, who lived in western Asia and Europe at around the same time.
The two species appear to have separated from a common ancestor around 200,000 years ago, while they split from the modern human Homo sapien lineage around 600,000 years ago.
Bone and ivory beads found in the Denisova Cave were discovered in the same sediment layers as the Denisovan fossils, leading to suggestions they had sophisticated tools and jewellery.
The Denisovans are an extinct species of human that appear to have lived in Siberia and even down as far as southeast Asia.
Although remains of these mysterious early humans have only been discovered at one site - the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains in Siberia, DNA analysis has shown they were widespread.
DNA from these early humans has been found in the genomes of modern humans over a wide area of Asia, suggesting they once covered a vast range.
DNA analysis of a fragment of pinky finger bone in 2010, (pictured) which belonged to a young girl, revealed the Denisovans were a species related to, but different from, Neanderthals.

DNA analysis of a fragment of a fifth digit finger bone in 2010, which belonged to a young girl, revealed they were a species related to, but different from, Neanderthals.
Later genetic studies suggested that the ancient human species split away from the Neanderthals sometime between 470,000 and 190,000 years ago.
Anthropologists have since puzzled over whether the cave had been a temporary shelter for a group of these Denisovans or it had formed a more permanent settlement.
DNA from molar teeth belonging to two other individuals, one adult male and one young female, showed they died in the cave at least 65,000 years earlier.
Other tests have suggested the tooth of the young female could be as old as 170,000 years.
A third molar is thought to have belonged to an adult male who died around 7,500 years before the girl whose pinky was discovered.
NASA has released footage showing a massive 'canyon of fire' about twice the size of the US shooting out from the sun on Halloween day.
The feature was a tremendous explosion of radiation that measured 6,200 miles wide and 62,000 miles long - large enough for the American Space Agency's Perseverance rover to see it on Mars, which is 145.59 million miles away.
The plasma ravine was around double the size of the entire United States and 50 times longer than the largest-known crater in our solar system, the Red Planet's Valles Marineris.
The video shows thefilament slowing formingon the sun's southeastern limb and accelerating until it bursts, releasing electrified gas toward the ‘Earth-strike-zone.'

The culprit is sunspot AR3477, which released an M flare that can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth's polar regions.
However, EarthSky reports that the sunspot also released eight C flares in the last 24 hours.
On November 1, AR3477 shot an M1.2 flare that caused radio blackouts over the South Indian Ocean.
And the flare released last month could impact Earth on November 4.
NASA's probe, SDO, was recently named the fastest artificial object in history.
It was large enough for the American Space Agency's Perseverance rover to see it on Mars , which is 145.59 million miles away
The feature was a tremendous explosion of radiation that measured 6,200 miles wide and 62,000 miles long
The craft hit a record speed of 394,736 miles per hour (mph) last month, twice as fast as a bolt of lightning or 200 times the speed of a rifle bullet.
The achievement was made during its 17th sun swing on September 27, breaking its distance record by skimming just 4.51 million from the solar surface.
SDO launched on August 12, 2018, to study the sun.
In 2021, the probe uncovered the source in the sun, which produces solar energetic particles that threaten crewed spaceflight, near-Earth satellites and airplanes.
A team of US researchers analyzed the composition of particles that flew towards Earth in 2014 and found the same 'fingerprint' of plasma located low in the sun's chromosphere - its second-most outer layer.
The solar energetic particles are released from the sun at high speed during storms in its atmosphere.
The team behind the new study said the new information could be used to predict better when a major solar storm will hit and act faster to mitigate the risks.
EXCLUSIVE: Pentagon UFO chief Dr Sean Kirkpatrick will be REPLACED by end of the year as whistleblowers accuse him of lying to the public and ignoring witnesses
EXCLUSIVE: Pentagon UFO chief Dr Sean Kirkpatrick will be REPLACED by end of the year as whistleblowers accuse him of lying to the public and ignoring witnesses
A candidate 'short list' to replace Dr. Kirkpatrick at the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has been interviewed, an ex-official told DailyMail.com
New UFO whistleblowers, per one attorney, 'don't want to go to Sean's AARO'
'Really knowledgeable' UFO whistleblowers, 'people who've laid their hands on the equipment,' as the attorney told the DailyMail.com 'never did trust Sean'
The Pentagon's UFO chief will resign by year's end — amid a wave of complaints accusing him of making false statements about UFO whistleblowers and fostering an 'atmosphere of disinterest,' DailyMail.com understands.
'Four major candidates' have been interviewed to replace the current director of the Pentagon's UFO office, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, following months of heated public sparring between the former CIA physicist, UFO whistleblowers and activists.
The Pentagon appears to have already 'made the decision' on Kirkpatrick's unnamed successor, according to one former Pentagon official with past involvement in related UFO investigation programs, who spoke with the DailyMail.com.
'Given their public affairs track record,' this ex-official said, 'they may not put out anything to the press until well after the change, but who knows? They might surprise us.'
The personnel shift marks the culmination of months of accusations and counter-accusations traded between Kirkpatrick and former intel officer David Grusch, who has alleged widespread illegalities stemming from a long-secret UFO program.
This week, Grusch publicly accused Kirkpatrick of lying about his office's efforts to investigate these claims, which had been laid out by Grusch last July under oath before Congress.
Previously, Kirkpatrick had described Grusch's same testimony, made before the House Oversight committee, as 'insulting [...] to the officers of the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.'
But fellow UFO whistleblowers working with Grusch, some past and present DoD and Intelligence Community officers themselves, reportedly 'don't trust and never did trust Sean,' according to an attorney aiding their efforts.

Air Force and intelligence agency veteran David Grusch (center) testified under oath before Congress this July alleging widespread illegalities stemming from a long-secret UFO 'crash retrieval' program. Flanking Grusch are two Navy pilots with knowledge of UFO incursions
While the precise reasons for his alleged departure remain murky, Dr. Kirkpatrick has faced vehement public criticism in recent weeks, from UFO enthusiasts and so-called 'disclosure' advocates seeking government transparency on UFOs and aliens.
A citizens' petition calling for Dr. Kirkpatrick's 'immediate removal,' hosted by Change.org, has garnered 1,739 signatures since its posting on October 22, 2023.
The petition's author, Lisa Fine, accused Kirkpatrick of operating 'a secret committee which directs the Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)'s actions and public statements.'
'Dr. Kirkpatrick has repeatedly lied to the American people about a lack of evidence concerning UFOs/UAPs,' according to Fine, referencing the updated terminology for 'unidentified flying objects.'
In recent years, Pentagon brass, NASA experts and others have taken to calling what were once known as flying saucers 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' or UAP.
Grusch, a former Department of Defense official, first appeared on camera for NewsNation to tell his story of deeply covert US programs that he says possess 'intact and partially intact' craft of non-human origin
The petition's allegation that Dr. Kirkpatrick had assembled a secret advisory panel to run AARO, while still unproven, first emerged that same day via reporting by Matt Ford, host of 'The Good Trouble Show' YouTube channel, who had cited an anonymous source.
But the other recent accusations that Kirkpatrick has 'lied to the American people,' have come much more directly.
This Halloween, AARO hosted a conference call Q&A session between reporters and Dr. Kirkpatrick, in which the physicist fielded multiple questions about David Grusch and his allegations of a covert UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering program.
On the call, Kirkpatrick told assembled media that he had interviewed 'a whole range of people, over 30 people now' in relation to the allegedly secret and illegal activity.
'I think we've interviewed most of the people that he [Grusch] may have talked to,' Kirkpatrick added, in reference to investigative work that Grusch reportedly performed while assisting AARO's predecessor, the Pentagon's UAP Task Force.
'We have extended an invitation at least four or five times now for him [Grusch] to come in over the last eight months or so,' Kirkpatrick told journalists on the call, 'and have been declined.'
But Grusch quickly accused Kirkpatrick of inventing these outreach efforts by his AARO team in their entirety.
'I have zero emails or calls from them,' Grusch told reporters for NewsNation the following day. 'That is a lie.'
Grusch accused Dr. Kirkpatrick of inventing outreach efforts by the Pentagon's AARO personnel, during a Halloween conference call with reporters earlier this week. 'I have zero emails or calls from them,' Grusch told reporters for NewsNation on Wednesday. 'That is a lie'
Similarly, one retired US Air Force Captain David Schindele, a former Minuteman ICBM launch control officer who reported his UFO encounter to AARO, said he felt that its personnel projected an 'atmosphere of disinterest.'
Schindele told viewers of Matt Ford's Good Trouble that Kirkpatrick and his AARO team were 'not people I want to talk to again.'
The Mail's former intelligence official — who has intimate knowledge of the military's ever-evolving UFO/UAP investigation portfolio — cautioned against drawing a direct line between these controversies and any plans for Kirkpatrick's departure, however.
'Sean has directly told folks he is leaving by the end of the year,' this former intelligence official told the DailyMail.com, under the condition of anonymity.
'I think it's completely a planned departure, he probably gave them a timeline when he took the job,' according to this source, citing geographical stress on Dr. Kirpatrick's family life.
'I am sure he's ready to go. I wouldn't read into it any more than that, honestly.'
The source added that he has heard AARO's first and current director would be moving on to a position with Oak Ridge National Laboratory — which briefly hosted the kernel of an apparent staff bio for Kirkpatrick before it mysteriously disappeared.
Veteran Australian TV news broadcaster and investigative reporter Ross Coulthart, who conducted the first televised interview with David Grusch, said that this staff bio 'requires explanation' in a series of posts to X (formerly Twitter).
'The AARO boss is presumably also investigating possible @Battelle links w crash retrieval/engineering programs,' Coulthart said, referencing military contractor UT–Battelle, which helps run the Oak Ridge lab on behalf of the Department of Energy.
Recent reporting by Daily Mail contributor Christopher Sharp and others has alleged that Battelle board member Stephanie O'Sullivan 'has knowledge of a UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program,' only to hide it from Senate investigators.
During her past years of government service, O'Sullivan was an associate deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), following successes managing parts of the US spy agency's Directorate of Science and Technology.
Nevertheless, when reached for comment, Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough stated that, whatever his future plans may be, Dr. Kirkpatrick is not currently moonlighting for Battelle or ORNL in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Veteran Australian TV news broadcaster and investigative reporter Ross Coulthart, who conducted the first TV interview with David Grusch, said on social media that the apparent staff bio for Kirkpatrick at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's website 'requires explanation'
'Dr. Kirkpatrick remains the director, AARO,' Gough said. 'He is not currently employed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory'
'We have no AARO personnel announcements to make at this time,' she added.
Outside official channels, however, news of Kirkpatrick's planned departure have reached Daniel Sheehan, the Harvard-trained lawyer who represented past UFO whistleblower Luis Elizondo in his formal complaint to the DoD's Inspector General.
'He's out at the end of the year — and that's a big deal,' Sheehan told the DailyMail.com, adding that he understands 'four major candidates' are up for the job opening at the top of AARO.
When reached for comment, Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough stated that Dr. Kirkpatrick (pictured above) 'remains the director, AARO' and is 'not currently employed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory'
Sheehan, whose history litigating progressive civil rights law cases dates back to the Vietnam War-era 'Pentagon Papers,' is now chief counsel, president and co-founder of the New Paradigm Institute.
The institute, a branch of the 501(C)(3) nonprofit Romero Institute, describes itself as dedicated to public policy advocacy on 'societal, environmental, and cosmic objectives,' which presumably includes UAP transparency.
Chris Mellon, a former official with the Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and a passionate advocate for increased government diligence and transparency on the UAP issue, told the DailyMail.com that he too heard of similar developments at AARO.
'As to Sean, I've heard some of the same rumors,' Mellon wrote via email, 'but they're just rumors, I really don't know his plans.'
Earlier this summer, prior to Grusch's sworn Congressional testimony, Mellon told NewsNation's Chris Cuomo, 'I've been told that we have recovered technology that did not originate on this Earth, by officials in the Department of Defense and by former intelligence officials.'
Sources with similar firsthand testimony to give, have become even more skittish about delivering what they know to AARO, despite the office's new 'second phase' efforts to faithfully investigate hidden UFO crash retrieval programs.
'This phase of the reporting mechanism is for current or former US government employees, service members, or contractors with direct knowledge of alleged US government programs or activities related to UAP dating back to 1945,' Kirkpatrick told reporters this Halloween.
But with the future of AARO's leadership in limbo, Sheehan told the DailyMail.com that many trepidatious UFO whistleblowers have opted to deliver their testimony to the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, for now, instead.
Whistleblowers with knowledge of a classified UFO 'reverse engineering' program have opted to testify to the Senate intelligence committee, in part over their reported mistrust of Dr. Kirkpatrick and his Pentagon UFO office. Above, a page from Project 1794 declassified in 2012
Above, more documents from Project 1794: a Cold War-era US Air Force effort to build a supersonic flying saucer in collaboration with a Canadian defense contractor
US Customs and Border Patrol, the agency responsible for keeping terrorists and weapons out of the country, uploaded 10 videos that appear to show craft moving in strange ways in our skies. The videos document a fighter jet pursued by an apparently baffling flying orb, as well as something that appears to be a propeller-powered hang-glider, and another apparent orb hovering near a parked 16-wheeler truck
What they were doing is they were going straight through to the Senate Intelligence Committee,' Sheehan said.
'That's where the queue is forming of people who have real direct immediate knowledge — and Dave Grusch is in communication with these people, and our people are in communication with these people.'
'We know that they don't want to go into into Sean's AARO group until it's resolved as to who is going to take his place,' Sheehan emphasized.
'None of the whistleblowers want to go in there, because they don't view it as stable or safe.'
The former intelligence official, who confirmed word of Dr. Kirkpatrick's departure, weighed in with the opinion that 'the public push back from Dave [Grusch] was probably unexpected.'
Despite a long summer of contradictory timelines detailed by both Grusch and Dr. Kirkpatrick, in other words, the official suspects that AARO likely did not expect to have its director called a liar in public.
Among other inconsistencies, Grusch testified under oath before Congress this July that his last personal interaction with Dr. Kirkpatrick occurred in 2022.
'Him and I had a classified conversation in April 2022 before he took over AARO in July 2022,' Grusch told Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, under oath during the hearing.
Grusch added that he had provided Dr. Kirkpatrick with 'some concerns' he had, related to national security issues relevant to AARO's UAP mandate.
But, during AARO's Halloween conference call on Tuesday, Kirkpatrick asserted that the two had not spoken in nearly five years.
Camera-like object nestled within a groove on a Mars rock
Camera-like object nestled within a groove on a Mars rock
A recent image captured by the NASA Perseverance rover and shared by Neville Thompson on his Gigapan page reveals a prominent rock formation. Upon closer inspection, an intriguing detail emerges just to the left of the rock - a distinct, black, and shiny rectangular object resembling what looks like a camera nestled within a groove on the rock's surface.
The placement of this seemingly artificial object starkly contrasts with the natural surroundings prompts questions about its origin and purpose.
As it seems odd and unlikely that NASA put the object within the rock's groove, it raises the possibility of an unknown entity that placed the camera-like object to observe the Martian environment or eventually the NASA Perseverance rover.
Adding to the mystery, another unusual feature in the same image captures attention - a strange looking rock depicting a bird-like head apparently placed on top of other rocks. However, the most striking anomaly is a round circle (which could be an eye) engraved in the rock, displaying no signs of natural formation.
The presence of both objects suggests the potential presence of current or past life of a civilization on Mars.

Diamond UAP Over Buffalo Ridge, Arizona 10-14-2023, UFO Sighting News.
Diamond UAP Over Buffalo Ridge, Arizona 10-14-2023, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: 10-14-2023
Location of sighting: Buffalo Ridge, Arizona, USA Source: MUFON
Wow, check this UFO out. I really had to watch this video many times close up to truly see that this is not a sphere or disk, but actually diamond shaped. It's not often you get to see a craft like this one and without using infrared cameras too. This object was flying over the desert and probably came from the mountains in the area. It's just a lucky chance that this person went outside at the exact moment the UAP was passing and caught sight of it. This video shows us its shape, size (1 meter), its speed about 5mph and its hight from the ground. Excellent raw footage, and it's similar to many of the UAP videos the gov recently released.

Eyewitness states:
I was sitting in my backyard in a cold plunge. I noticed to my west a strange object appear. I jumped out to grab camera and film. I thought I lost object but it appeared again to the North East. I filmed object in middle of my yard but than had difficulty finding it on camera on phone so I observed. The object then gained altitude and disappeared out of my vision.
The universe is so vast, it is unlikely that we are alone.
The universe is so vast, it is near impossible that alien life will ever physically reach us.
UFOs have always turned out to be celestial objects, airborne clutter, and even ground-bound objects.
The government task forces set to examine UFO reports lack the relevant expertise.
Part I of a Series
The UFO Movie They Don’t Want You to Seeis not just a movie, it’s a documentary that utilizes and even teaches critical thinking. It might as well have been called “A Logical Take on UFOs.” Skeptic, and the host of the Skeptoid podcast, Brian Dunning has exposed the truth behind over 900 urban myths, legends, and fantastic stories. It’s a master class on how to engage a logical take. Thus a logical review of Dunning’s new movie is essential.
We Are Not Alone
First, the movie presents a pretty compelling case that we are not alone in the universe. The universe is just too large, there are just too many planets and stars, and the conditions that make life possible are just too common, relatively speaking.* Life very likely exists, if not elsewhere in our galaxy, then elsewhere in the universe. At the same time, however, the same thing that makes alien life so likely—the vastness of the universe—makes it exceedingly unlikely that it will ever visit us. The distances are just too great, and the speed of light (the fastest anything can move) too slow, for life that evolved elsewhere to ever visit us in person. Interestingly, Dunning argues that some alien life likely already does know about us (or will soon); our planet teems with evidence of our existence. He also thinks that we (via a telescope) will likely detect evidence of life on another distant planet soon (within the century maybe). But physical visitation, by advanced biological alien beings, in advanced craft, near or on Earth, is almost statistically impossible.
What Are UFOs?
Why, then, are there so many UFO sightings? If they aren’t aliens, what are they? Dunning points out that there is good data on this: huge collections of UFO reports and what they turned out to be. In all of history, every time a UFO sighting has been verifiable (and not just an unverifiable incredible story, fuzzy video, or blurry photo), it has always, without exception, turned out to be one of three things:
A (misidentified) celestial object (for example, planet, meteor, satellite, rocket, Star Link launch)
A (misidentified) piece of airborne clutter (for example, weather balloons, planes, blimps, birds)
A (misidentified) object on the ground (for example, lighthouses, radio tower lights, grounded objects that look airborne from a plane window because of visual illusions)
Although the data proves this, Dunning goes on to illustrate his point by explaining four of the most famous UFO stories and videos of all time—evidence that believers have claimed to be the most rock-solid proof of alien visitation: The Rendlesham Forest incident, the Ariel School incident, the 1967 Malstorm AFB incident, Jimmy Carter’s UFO sighting, and the Gimel, Go Fast, Tic Tac, and Green Triangles videos. In each case, the explanation falls into one of the three above categories; it is beyond any reasonable doubt, in each case, that nothing extraordinary happened. What’s more, in each case, some illusion, trick of perception, or fault of memory is at play. The explanation was not, and never has been an extraordinary craft—for example, an alien craft, or one vastly beyond our current technology.
Want to prove yourself right? Try to prove yourself wrong
That’s not to say that it could never be, but Dunning rightly points out that a claim that a UFO is an extraordinary craft is an extraordinary claim—and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And when one wants to prove an extraordinary claim, with extraordinary evidence, one must try to falsify the extraordinary claim; you must consider and rule out all the non-extraordinary explanations.
This is one of the most basic rules of both scientific and critical thinking. Because anyone can find some evidence for anything, if you want to prove yourself right, but try to do only that, you inevitably will—even if what you believe is blatantly false. If you want to actually prove yourself right, you must try to prove yourself wrong; only if you honestly try to do that and fail, will you actually have good reason to believe that you are right. This is how scientists protect themselves against self-deception; they'll even invite others to try to prove them wrong.
What the UAP Task Force Needs, But Is Lacking
This brings me to the overarching conclusion of the documentary: the government’s Unidentified Arial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) is not actually up to its stated task. He shows a government official describing the experts that the UAP Task Force has brought on board: academics like physicists and metallurgists. Although that sounds impressive, these are the kinds of experts you would only need if a UFO turned out to be a spectacular craft (that was recovered). But since in the entire history of UFO sightings this has never happened, the task force is stacked with the experts that it is least likely to need.
What it needs is experts who can rule out the, historically and statistically, most likely explanations: celestial bodies, airborne clutter, and ground-bound objects. You need a host of (observational) astronomers, experienced personnel who are experts at looking at the sky and identifying what is in it. You need UFO skeptics,** who have spent their lives falsifying claims that UFOs are aliens; critical thinkers who know all the trip-ups that lead people to faulty conclusions. And you need NTSB air crash investigators—mainly because they know best what kind of illusions and faulty perceptions lead pilots, and the rest of us, astray. The task force doesn't seem to have them.

Notes:
To be fair, most of the universe is inhospitable to life. However, the conditions that led to life on Earth are not unique to Earth. As Dunning puts it, “Those same conditions have been happening on rocky planets throughout the universe since the beginning of time.”
UFO enthusiasts, Dunning observes, won’t like this; they’ll claim the presence of skeptics will bias the conclusions. But a true quest for knowledge always invites skepticism; that viewpoint must be represented. Again, to prove something true, one must honestly try but fail to prove it false.
Astronomers have long suspected that the Moon formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago when a hefty planet-in-the-making called Theia collided with a young Earth. Now, researchers have found evidence that massive blobs deep within Earth are actually relics from long-lost Theia. If true, other planets may also be filled with parts of their ancient foes.
Scientists call Theia’s strike the Giant Impact. This was probably the last major event during Earth’s accretion phase when it was growing larger and regularly getting bombarded by space material. The Giant Impact is time zero on the clock for Earth and the Moon. This is why Qian Yuan, a geodynamicist at the California Institute of Technology who is interested in what makes some planets friendly to life, led a team of researchers to look into this ancient phase.
“So far, Earth is still the only habitable planet, but we do not know why Earth is habitable and others are not. As a modeler, I believe that the initial condition is crucially important, and it is widely believed that the Moon's formation set the initial condition of Earth,” Yuan tells Inverse.
The Giant Impact would have infused parts of Theia’s mantle into Earth’s mantle.
HONGPING DENG, HANGZHOU SPHERE STUDIO, CHINA
The middle layer of our planet, called the mantle, is an important part of the habitability question. It’s intrinsic to the carbon cycle, for instance, which is required to form complex molecules like proteins and DNA. Carbon is continually exchanged between the ocean’s surface waters and the atmosphere and can also be released in grand displays like volcanic eruptions. Sitting atop the mantle is the crust, which has evolved over time from supercontinents to the seven land masses where you find humans and many other terrestrial creatures living today.
Just below the mantle, there’s Earth’s outer liquid core. This powers the magnetic field that cocoons our planet from cosmic radiation that would pose a threat to life. Two blobs near the boundary between the mantle and the outer core, some 2,900 km below the surface, maybe Theia relics, according to simulations run by the team of astronomers. They published their findings on Wednesday in the journal Nature.
A previous study, published in Nature in 2016, showed these two continent-sized anomalies at the base of the mantle via seismic images. To create these images, seismologists use waves generated from earthquakes, which have traveled through the center of Earth, Edward Garnero, a geophysicist at Arizona State University, who was the lead author of the 2016 Nature study and a co-author of the new work, tells Inverse.
“In a similar way to ultrasound or MRI machines, we study recordings of the waves after they have traveled through structures or reflected off of them to identify anomalies. In this way, ‘pictures’ of the interior are computed, just like X-ray images,” Garnero says.
Another study, published in the journal Geochemistry in 2019, suggests that Theia’s collision would not have mixed ancient isotopes effectively due to its “hit-and-run” or “merger” nature.

In the new study, researchers simulated how the mantle would have sloshed about over the last 4.5 billion years and what the cataclysmic 24 hours looked like after the Giant Impact.
Theia was a protoplanet, so its abundance of material would have separated into layers. Theia also had a mantle, and the simulation work shows that Theia’s mantle material (TMM) could have sunk into Earth’s own mantle after the Giant Impact. The “mostly molten” TMM may have later solidified and sunk down to Earth’s lowermost mantle, the study says. Other work, like a study published in Nature in 2012, suggests that some ancient accreted material, which predates the 4.5 billion year benchmark that usually serves as the start of Earth’s clock, may have survived the convection of Earth’s mantle.
Some of this material may have been what Theia captured from the protoplanetary disk, the dusty puff where the entire Solar System originated.

Yuan is still researching these relics, looking into the subsequent influences of the deep Theia blobs on the tectonic evolution of Earth's surface. And by doing so, aims to tie the epic past to the modern day.

Supernatural being 'Shapeshifter' caught on security camera in Mexico
A weird incident captured on a security camera in Mexico has raised eyebrows, depicting a mysterious transformation from an animal to a human-like figure. The peculiar event supposedly took place in a Nava residence's garage and was shared onTikTok.
In the video, a man is seen cleaning chairs while his dog roams around. Suddenly, the dog becomes fixated on the garage door, where a dark, four-legged shaped entity seemingly materializes. Upon investigating, the form appears to shrink and morph into an entirely different entity.
Despite the unclear nature of the sighting, the man appears visibly disturbed and hurries inside through a side door. During his absence, the creature undergoes a transformation into what resembles a person, who then departs.
Upon the man's return with his wife, the mysterious entity has vanished.
The paranormal event has sparked speculation, with some suggesting the being might be a shapeshifter called a nahual.
While tales of shapeshifters, beings who have the ability to physically transform themselves through unnatural means, are commonly disregarded as myths, one might ponder the thin line between myth and potential firsthand encounters with supernatural entities.

The Intriguing Tale of J-Rod: Area 51’s Alleged Alien Collaborator
The vast deserts of Nevada hide more than just tumbleweeds and cacti. Deep within this barren terrain lies a story so fascinating, it’s almost hard to believe. Area 51, one of America’s most mysterious military installations, is rumored to have had a unique resident, one not of this world.
The Mystery Begins: The 1953 Kingman UFO Crash
On May 19th, 1953, just as dawn broke over Nevada, a nuclear test was conducted under the code name “upshot knole.” Moments after the blast, witnesses reported seeing a disc-shaped object rapidly descending from the sky. This UFO was said to have headed towards Las Vegas before disappearing into the mountains.
Only two days later, a team of 40 engineers was discreetly summoned to Kingman, Arizona, about 175 miles from the nuclear test site. Their mission? Investigate the crash of an unidentified flying object. By the time they arrived under the cover of night, military personnel had already secured the crash site, revealing a 40-foot diameter disc-shaped craft that looked remarkably undamaged. Alongside the craft were four beings, leading to a myriad of questions.
From Kingman to Area 51: The Secret Transfer
The craft and its otherworldly occupants were transported to Groom Lake, better known today as Area 51. Situated deep within a ring of mountains in the Nevada desert, Area 51 was, at that time, a sparse establishment. It was the isolation of this facility, surrounded by miles of uninhabited desert, that made it the perfect location to study the intriguing findings of the Kingman crash.
J-Rod: The Alien Whistleblower
Among the beings found at the crash site, one, in particular, stood out — an entity later known as “J-Rod.” This extraterrestrial being was not only a survivor of the Kingman crash but, astonishingly, collaborated with the U.S. government for several years.
Captain Bill U house, a former Navy pilot and later an experimental tester for the U.S. Air Force, claimed to have had direct contact with J-Rod. Describing their interaction, U house recounted that J-Rod communicated much like humans, offering invaluable engineering and scientific advice.
Dan Beish, another whistleblower, asserted his role as a microbiologist responsible for ensuring J-Rod’s well-being. According to both U house and Beish, J-Rod resided in a special underground chamber at Area 51. Over the years, multiple other sources have hinted at the possibility of extraterrestrials collaborating with the U.S. government.

While the secrecy surrounding Area 51 makes it difficult to ascertain the entire truth, the narrative of J-Rod provides an enthralling glimpse into the potential interstellar connections the U.S. might have fostered. Whether folklore or reality, the story of J-Rod and Area 51 continues to captivate our imaginations, reminding us of the mysteries the universe holds.

UFO Sightings: Pentagon’s New Portal Encourages Whistleblowers and Government Insiders
UFO Sightings: Pentagon’s New Portal Encourages Whistleblowers and Government Insiders
In a world buzzing with tales of mysterious lights and unidentified aircraft, the Pentagon is stepping into the limelight with an unexpected initiative. If you’ve ever Googled “UFO sightings” out of pure curiosity or genuine belief, this latest move by the U.S. government will undoubtedly pique your interest.
UFO sightings have long captured the imagination of enthusiasts and skeptics alike. From grainy videos on YouTube to firsthand accounts from pilots, the mystery surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) remains largely unsolved. Now, in a groundbreaking move, the Pentagon is extending an invitation to those in the know.
Pentagon’s UAP Reporting Website:
Late last October, amidst swirling speculations and decades of reported sightings, the Pentagon unveiled its official UFO reporting platform (link: https://www.aaro.mil/AARO-Reporting-Information/). Designed for U.S. government insiders, the website seeks to gather reliable information regarding UAP encounters and any covert programs related to them.
A Special Call for Whistleblowers:
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, spearheading the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), emphasized the platform’s focus. “We strongly encourage any current or former U.S. government employees, military or civilian, or contractors with firsthand UAP knowledge to come forward,” he stated. This intriguing call-out places an emphasis on the importance of credible sources, suggesting that the government is keen on sifting fact from fiction.
Privacy, Confidentiality, and Accountability:
The AARO assures that all reports will remain confidential. However, in an age where misinformation can spread like wildfire, the Pentagon is taking no chances. A stern warning accompanies the reporting form, reminding users of the severe consequences of falsifying information. With potential repercussions like imprisonment or termination of federal service, the message is clear: only genuine, verifiable information is welcome.
A Spotlight on Whistleblower David Grusch:
Among the many names associated with UFO sightings, David Grusch stands out. Claiming intimate knowledge of hidden government UFO projects, Grusch has caught the attention of UAP enthusiasts worldwide. Kirkpatrick, however, offered a fresh perspective. Despite multiple outreach attempts, Grusch has yet to discuss his claims with the AARO. Yet, the very mention of Grusch’s name indicates the Pentagon’s proactive approach in seeking the truth.
Deciphering the Mysteries of the Sky:
Beyond seeking whistleblower accounts, the AARO is diligently working to distinguish genuine UAP sightings from identifiable objects. Efforts are underway to understand how common objects appear on military equipment sensors, aiming to minimize misidentifications. Kirkpatrick explained, “We want to reduce the number of UAP reports that are merely balloons or drones.”
Why Trust the AARO?
In an age of skepticism, trust is hard-earned. So, why should insiders confide in the AARO? Kirkpatrick’s answer is straightforward: “It’s in law that we are the authorized reporting authority.” Coupled with the Whistleblower Act’s protection and the promise of anonymity, the AARO seems poised to become a pivotal entity in the world of UFO sightings.
Conclusion:
As tales of mysterious lights continue to fill the skies and online forums, the Pentagon’s initiative is a beacon for those seeking answers. With a focus on veracity and a commitment to uncovering the truth, this new portal may just hold the key to some of the world’s most enigmatic mysteries.
“The truth is out there; but, the establishment exists to destroy it. What is the point of seeking truth when truth is annihilated in the efforts to find it?”
– Suzy Kassem
The skies have always held mysteries, and it seems the Pentagon is now actively joining the quest to decode them.
Has the mystery of how the moon formed finally been solved? Our lunar satellite was propelled into orbit IMMEDIATELY after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized planet 4.5 billion years ago, study claims
Has the mystery of how the moon formed finally been solved? Our lunar satellite was propelled into orbit IMMEDIATELY after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized planet 4.5 billion years ago, study claims
Scientists suspect moon was created when a planet called Theia struck Earth
But the nature of collision and what happened after has been subject to debate
Some believe collision created debris which coalesced into the moon over time
In a new study, researchers ran the most detailed supercomputer simulations yet
Findings suggest the moon was placed into orbit around Earth immediately
It's a question that has puzzled scientists for hundreds of years – how exactly did our moon form?
Since the 1970s, astronomers have suspected that the moon was created when a giant protoplanet called Theia struck Earth.
However, the nature of this collision and what happened immediately after has been subject to debate.
Some scientists believe that the collision created a vast cloud of debris, which coalesced into the moon over time.
However, in a new study, researchers from the University of Durham claim that the giant impact immediately placed the moon into orbit around Earth.
Vincent Eke, co-author of the study, said: 'This formation route could help explain the similarity in isotopic composition between the lunar rocks returned by the Apollo astronauts and Earth's mantle.
'There may also be observable consequences for the thickness of the lunar crust, which would allow us to pin down further the type of collision that took place.'

The Moon theories
Astronomers have long suspected that the moon was created when a giant protoplanet called Theia struck the newly formed Earth - a theory first put forward in the 1970s.
It says the huge collision created a vast cloud of debris, which coalesced into the moon.
However, until now, astronomers have not been able to explain how this left the moon and Earth chemically identical.
Later, two hypotheses arose that could explain why the moon is Earth's chemical clone, but they predict radically different masses for Theia.
In one scenario, two half-Earths merged to form the Earth-moon system.
But the second hypothesis suggests Theia was a small, high-velocity projectile that smacked into a large and fast-spinning young Earth.
About 4.45 billion years ago, 150 million years after the solar system formed, Earth was hit by a Mars-sized object called Theia.
The collision created the moon, but debate has raged about exactly what happened during this event - and the question of why the moon and Earth are so similar in their composition has remained a mystery.
In the study, the researchers set out to explain the Moon's origin story once and for all.
The team used the SWIFT open-source simulation code, run on the DiRAC Memory Intensive service ('COSMA'), to create the most detailed supercomputer simulations yet.
This allowed them to simulate hundreds of different impacts, varying the angle and speed of the collision as well as the masses and spins of the two colliding bodies.
While previous studies have used lower-resolution simulations, the extra computational power revealed important new aspects.
For example, only the high-resolution simulations produced the Moon-like satellite, and the extra detail showed how its outer layers were richer in material originating from Earth.
If much of the Moon formed immediately following the giant impact, this could mean that less material became molten during formation than previously thought, according to the researchers.
Depending on how this molten rock solidified, these theories should predict different internal structures for the Moon.
The researchers suggest that the moon formed following a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized planet
The computer simulations indicate that the collision formed the moon almost immediately, and went straight into orbit around Earth
Jacob Kegerreis, who led the study, said: 'This opens up a whole new range of possible starting places for the Moon's evolution'
The simulations also revealed that even when a satellite passes so close to the Earth that it might be expected to be torn apart by tidal forces from Earth's gravity, the satellite can not only survive, but also be pushed into a wider, safer orbit.
Jacob Kegerreis, who led the study, said: 'This opens up a whole new range of possible starting places for the Moon's evolution.
'We went into this project not knowing exactly what the outcomes of these very high-resolution simulations would be.
So, on top of the big eye-opener that standard resolutions can give you wrong answers, it was extra exciting that the new results could include a tantalisingly Moon-like satellite in orbit.'
The researchers hope the findings will encourage further research into the Moon's composition and internal structure.
'The many upcoming lunar missions should reveal new clues about what kind of giant impact led to the Moon, which in turn will tell us about the history of Earth itself,' the team concluded.
About 4.45 billion years ago, 150 million years after the solar system formed, Earth was hit by a Mars-size object called Theia.
The collision created the moon, but debate has raged exactly what happened during this event - and a mystery has persisted on why the moon and Earth are so similar in their composition.
The impact of Theia with Earth was so violent, the resulting debris cloud mixed thoroughly before settling down and forming the moon.
This cloud would have been composed of some Earth material, explaining the similarity between Earth and the moon, and other material.
The colliding body is sometimes called Theia, after the mythical Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene, the goddess of the Moon.
But one mystery has persisted, revealed by rocks the Apollo astronauts brought back from the moon - why are the moon and Earth so similar in their composition?
Several different theories have emerged over the years to explain the similar fingerprints of Earth and the moon.
Perhaps the impact created a huge cloud of debris that mixed thoroughly with the Earth and then later condensed to form the moon.
Or Theia could have, coincidentally, been isotopically similar to young Earth.
A third possibility is that the moon formed from Earthen materials, rather than from Theia, although this would have been a very unusual type of impact.
A giant collision between the ancient protoplanet Theia and the proto-Earth about 4.5 billion years ago may have formed Earth’s Moon as well as two continent-sized regions — formally known as large low-velocity provinces — within Earth’s mantle, according to a research team led by Caltech scientists.
Yuan et al. suggest that LLVPs are remnants of the ancient protoplanet Theia that violently collided with Earth billions of years ago in the same giant impact that created our Moon.

In the 1980s, scientists discovered two continent-sized blobs of unusual material deep near the center of the Earth: one beneath the African continent and one beneath the Pacific Ocean.
Each blob is twice the size of the Moon and likely composed of different proportions of elements than the mantle surrounding it.
Where did these strange blobs — formally known as large low-velocity provinces (LLVPs) — come from?
“Terrestrial planet formation concludes with a number of giant impacts among Moon- and Mars-sized planetary embryos,” said Caltech researcher Qian Yuan and colleagues.
“The well-studied giant-impact scenario involves a protoplanet, Theia, colliding with proto-Earth.”
In the study, the authors used computer simulations to propose an explanation for LLVPs.
The material in these regions has been suggested to be between 2.0 and 3.5% denser than the surrounding mantle.
The simulations show that LLVPs may represent buried relics of Theia mantle material that was preserved in proto-Earth’s mantle after the Moon-forming giant impact.
These Theia relics are proposed to have been tens of kilometers across, and the authors suggest that they sunk to the lower region of the mantle and accumulated to form dense blobs above the Earth’s core.
“A logical consequence of the idea that the LLVPs are remnants of Theia is that they are very ancient,” said Dr. Paul Asimow, also of Caltech.
“It makes sense, therefore, to investigate next what consequences they had for Earth’s earliest evolution, such as the onset of subduction before conditions were suitable for modern-style plate tectonics, the formation of the first continents, and the origin of the very oldest surviving terrestrial minerals.”
“Our findings challenge the traditional notion that the giant impact led to the homogenization of the early Earth,” said Professor Hongping Deng, a researcher at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory.
“Instead, the Moon-forming giant impact appears to be the origin of the early mantle’s heterogeneity and marks the starting point for the Earth’s geological evolution over the course of 4.5 billion years.”
“The Moon appears to have materials within it representative of both the pre-impact Earth and Theia, but it was thought that any remnants of Theia in the Earth would have been ‘erased’ and homogenized by billions of years of dynamics (e.g., mantle convection) within the Earth,” said Arizona State University’s Professor Steven Desch.
“This is the first study to make the case that distinct ‘pieces’ of Theia still reside within the Earth, at its core-mantle boundary.”
“It appears that Earth’s blobs are remnants of a planetary collision that formed our Moon,” said Arizona State University’s Professor Ed Garnero.
“In other words, the massive blobs currently inside Earth, deep beneath our feet, are extraterrestrial. Earth not only has ‘blobs,’ Earth has extraterrestrial blobs!”
“Through precise analysis of a wider range of rock samples, combined with more refined giant impact models and Earth evolution models, we can infer the material composition and orbital dynamics of the primordial Earth, Gaia, and Theia,” Dr. Yuan said.

“This allows us to constrain the entire history of the formation of the inner Solar System.”
“This research even provides inspiration for understanding the formation and habitability of exoplanets beyond our Solar System,” Professor Deng said.
In the quaint town of Hove, England, 2008, the eerie silence of the night was pierced by an incident that might sound like the stuff of science fiction but was claimed as a lived experience by 20-year-old Charmaine D’Rozario-Saytch. This experience raises thought-provoking questions about our world and our place in the universe.
Charmaine’s story begins like any other night, with her deep in sleep, nestled comfortably in her bed. But as the night progressed, she encountered what she describes as a chilling sight – a reptilian humanoid figure looming over her. This wasn’t a figment of her imagination nor a dream. It was her reality.
She recounts being led to an underground cave, surrounded by a group of these reptilian beings. What followed was an extraordinary transformation. Charmaine claims she underwent a physical metamorphosis, watching in bewilderment and astonishment as her smooth skin turned to scales, and she grew a tail, changing from a human into a reptilian form. The very essence of her human identity seemingly altered in those moments.
But the story doesn’t end here. Charmaine asserts that her abductors revealed a startling piece of information: humans might be the result of extraterrestrial genetic manipulation. Not all, but specific groups, throughout our history, have been visited and genetically altered by different extraterrestrial races. If this assertion holds any weight, it leads us to wonder, are we truly alone in this vast universe?
Linda Moulton Howe, a noted investigator in the realm of unexplained phenomena, believes the presence of these alien entities might be tied to territorial conflicts among different extraterrestrial civilizations. These conflicts might have repercussions that impact not just these advanced beings but also the very life they’ve supposedly created or manipulated.

The very nature of these stories and theories challenges our preconceived notions about religion and ancient prophecies. Ancient texts from various religious traditions speak of divine figures returning to Earth. Could these be misinterpretations or signs pointing towards the return of extraterrestrial entities? Giorgio Tsoukalos, a prominent figure in the study of ancient astronauts, posits that these promises of return might not be of divine nature, but extraterrestrial.
As we stand at the cusp of possibly one of the most transformative eras in human history, the question that looms large is whether we’re prepared for the potential revelation of our cosmic neighbors. Will they emerge from the shadows, or are they just figments of our collective imaginations, fueled by our innate desire to not be alone in this vast expanse of the universe?
Deze verbeterde afbeelding van Jupiters maan Ganymedes werd verkregen door de JunoCam-imager aan boord van NASA’s Juno-ruimtevaartuig tijdens de vlucht van de missie op 7 juni 2021 langs de ijzige maan. Gegevens van deze pas werden gebruikt om de aanwezigheid van zouten en organische materialen op Ganymedes te detecteren.
Gegevens verzameld door NASAJuno’s missie suggereert dat het zoute verleden mogelijk aan de oppervlakte komt JupiterDe grootste maan.
NASA’s Juno-missie ontdekte minerale zouten en organische verbindingen op het oppervlak van Jupiters maan Ganymede. Gegevens voor deze ontdekking werden verzameld door de Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) spectrometer aan boord van het ruimtevaartuig tijdens een vlucht langs de ijzige maan. De resultaten, die wetenschappers zouden kunnen helpen de oorsprong van Ganymede en de samenstelling van zijn diepe oceanen beter te begrijpen, werden op 30 oktober in het tijdschrift gepubliceerd. Natuur astronomie.
Ganymedes, groter dan de planeet Mercurius, is de grootste manen van Jupiter en is lange tijd van groot belang geweest voor wetenschappers vanwege de enorme binnenoceaan van water verborgen onder de ijskoude korst. Eerdere spectroscopische waarnemingen door NASA’s Galileo-ruimtevaartuig, de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop en de Very Large Telescope van het European Southern Observatory hebben de aanwezigheid van zouten en organische materialen aangetoond, maar de ruimtelijke resolutie van die waarnemingen was te laag om vast te stellen.
Op 7 juni 2021 kwam NASA’s Juno-ruimtevaartuig dichter bij Jupiters met ijs bedekte maan Ganymede dan enig ruimtevaartuig in meer dan twintig jaar. Minder dan een dag later maakte Juno zijn 34ste scheervlucht langs Jupiter. Deze animatie biedt een ‘ruimtevaartuigkapitein’-weergave van elke vlucht.

Het is bekend dat de aanwezigheid van deze deeltjesstromen een negatieve invloed heeft op zouten en organisch materiaal.
Tijdens de vlucht van juni 2021 besloeg JIRAM een smal bereik van breedtegraden (10°N tot 30°N) en een groter bereik van lengtegraden (35°O tot 40°O) op het naar Jupiter gerichte halfrond.
“We vonden de grootste overvloed aan zouten en organische materialen in Donker en helder terrein “Op breedtegraden waar het magnetische veld beschermt”, zegt hoofdonderzoeker Scott Bolton van de Juno-missie van het Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “Dit suggereert dat we de overblijfselen zien van een diepe oceaanpekel die de oppervlakte van deze bevroren wereld heeft bereikt.”
Verwerkte gegevens van de Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) spectrometer aan boord van NASA's Juno-missie worden over een mozaïek van optische beelden van de Galileo- en Voyager-ruimtevaartuigen van het agentschap heen gelegd die gegroefd terrein op Jupiters maan Ganymede tonen.

Ganymedes is niet de enige ondergrondse wereld waar Juno doorheen ging. De maan Europa, waarvan men denkt dat deze een oceaan onder zijn ijskoude korst heeft, kwam ook onder de aandacht van Juno, eerst in oktober 2021 (zie afbeelding hierboven) en vervolgens in september 2022. En nu krijgt Io de flyby-behandeling. De volgende nadering van deze met vulkanen gevulde wereld is gepland voor 30 december, wanneer het ruimtevaartuig een bereik zal bereiken van binnen 932 mijl (1.500 kilometer) van het oppervlak van Io.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), een divisie van het California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Californië, beheert de Juno-missie voor hoofdonderzoeker Scott Bolton van het Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. Juno maakt deel uit van NASA’s New Frontiers Program, dat wordt beheerd in het Marshall Space Flight Center van NASA in Huntsville, Alabama, voor het Science Mission Directorate van het agentschap in Washington. De Italiaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie (ASI) financierde de Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper. Lockheed Martin Space in Denver bouwde en exploiteert het ruimtevaartuig.
In een nieuwe verkenning heeft Juno, een sonde van de NASA, een belangrijke ontdekking gedaan door mineralen en organische verbindingen op het oppervlak van de grootste maan van Jupiter en de grootste in ons zonnestelsel, Ganymedes, te observeren.
Deze gegevens werden verzameld tijdens een scheervlucht van de sonde dicht bij de bevroren maan en onthulden de aanwezigheid van ammoniumzouten, gehydrateerd natriumchloride, natriumbicarbonaat en mogelijke alifatische aldehyden, wat suggereert dat Ganymedes deze materialen tijdens zijn vorming heeft kunnen accumuleren. Deze ontdekking biedt waardevolle inzichten in de oorsprong van de maan en de samenstelling van zijn diepe oceaan.
Informatie verzameld door Juno onthulde ook dat gebieden beschermd door het magnetische veld van Jupiter de hoogste concentraties van zouten en organische verbindingen vertoonden. Deze bevinding draagt bij aan het begrip van de processen die Ganymedes in de loop van de tijd hebben gevormd en aan mogelijke oceanische omgevingen op andere hemellichamen.
Ganymedes is de grootste maan van Jupiter en staat bekend om het herbergen van een intern oceaan onder zijn bevroren korst, wat het tot een interessant onderzoeksobject maakt voor wetenschappers.
