Captured on Camera: Multiple UFO Sightings Amidst Alleged Extraterrestrial Encounters
Captured on Camera: Multiple UFO Sightings Amidst Alleged Extraterrestrial Encounters
In recent years, the topic of UFO sightings has transitioned from fringe conspiracy theories to a subject of legitimate inquiry and discussion. With multiple reports of unidentified flying objects gracing our skies, the world stands at the precipice of potentially groundbreaking discoveries, leaving us with more questions than answers.
The Global UFO Phenomenon
Historically, UFO sightings were often dismissed or explained away by mundane factors. However, a paradigm shift is occurring. Regions like the Middle East, previously not known for UFO activity, are now emerging as hotspots for such sightings. These mysterious metallic orbs, observed in various locations worldwide, defy conventional explanations and challenge our understanding of aviation technology.
Government’s Involvement and Revelations
Amidst this surge in sightings, reports have surfaced about a former intelligence official disclosing classified information to the US Congress. Allegedly, the government possesses “intact and partially intact” alien vehicles. This claim, if true, signifies a monumental leap in our understanding of extraterrestrial life and technology.
David Grush, a former combat officer and member of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, has stated that alien technology, ranging from partial fragments to fully intact vehicles, has been recovered and studied for decades. The implications of such findings are profound, suggesting that we might not be alone in the universe.
Increasing Sightings and Public Interest
The increase in UFO sightings, especially during the lockdown period of 2020, has piqued public interest. Sightings were reported both during the day and night, sparking widespread speculation and debate. This surge coincided with a time when the world was grappling with the unprecedented challenges of a global pandemic, leading to heightened public vigilance and curiosity about the unknown.
The Role of NASA and Ongoing Research
NASA has formed an independent study team, consisting of 16 experts from diverse fields, to examine UFOs. This initiative underscores the growing scientific interest in understanding these phenomena. The lack of comprehensive data and its fragmented nature remain significant hurdles. However, the team’s efforts to collate and analyze available information could pave the way for new insights into these unexplained occurrences.
The Future of UFO Research
As we delve deeper into the mysteries of UFO sightings, the quest for understanding continues. The revelations and research efforts by various government and independent agencies are drawing us closer to potentially answering some of the most intriguing questions about our universe and existence.

Multiple UFO Sightings Caught On Camera During Alleged Extraterrestrial Activity
With each reported sighting and piece of evidence, we inch closer to possibly unravelling the enigma of UFOs and their origins. Whether these sightings are of extraterrestrial origin or represent advanced technologies yet unknown to us, the pursuit of knowledge continues, igniting the imagination and curiosity of people worldwide.
Elke dag trakteertNASA ons op een adembenemend uitzicht op het universum in de ‘Astronomiefoto van de Dag‘. Vandaag (8) deelde de ruimtevaartorganisatie een foto van de camera aan boord van het Orion-ruimtevaartuig tijdens de opwindende Artemis 1-missie op de maan.
De afbeelding werd gemaakt op het moment dat het ruimtevaartuig de maan naderde voor een terugstuwraketpassage en toont een spectaculair uitzicht op het maanoppervlak, met nadruk op de Oceanus Procellarum, ook bekend als de Oceaan der Stormen, met zijn donkere en gladde landschap.
Het centrum van de afbeelding toont de indrukwekkende Marius-krater, met een diameter van 41 kilometer, en aan de rechterkant bevindt zich de Kepler-krater.
Fly Slowly Through Enceladus' Plumes to Detect Life
Enceladus is blasting water into space from the jets at its southern pole. This makes it the ideal place to send a dedicated mission, flying the spacecraft through the plumes with life-detection instruments s. A new study suggests that a spacecraft must proceed carefully through the plumes, keeping its speed below 4.2 km/second (2,236 miles per hour). Using a specialized, custom-built aerosol impact spectrometer at these speeds will allow fragile amino acids to be captured by the spacecraft’s sample collector. Any faster, they’ll shatter, providing inclusive results.
One of the biggest surprises of the 20-year Cassini mission to the Saturn system was the discovery of the active geysers at Enceladus. At only about 500 km (310 miles) in diameter, the ice-covered Enceladus should be too small and too far from the Sun to be active. Instead, this little moon is one of the most geologically dynamic objects in the Solar System.

Cassini’s stunning backlit images of this moon show plumes erupting in Yellowstone-like geysers, emanating from tiger-stripe-shaped fractures in the moon’s surface. The discovery of the geysers took on more importance when Cassini later determined the plumes contained water ice and organics. Since life as we know it relies on water and a source of energy, this small but energetic moon has been added to the short list of possible places for life in our Solar System.
During three of Cassini’s passes of Enceladus in 2008 and 2009, the spacecraft’s Cosmic Dust Analyser measured the composition of freshly ejected plume grains. The icy particles hit the detector target at speeds of 6.5–17.5 km/s, and vaporized instantly. While electrical fields inside the instrument were able to separate the various constituents of the resulting impact cloud for analysis, for a future mission, scientists would like to measure the particles in the plumes without completely vaporizing them.
Back in 2012, researchers from the University of California San Diego started working on a custom-built unique aerosol impact spectrometer, designed to study collision dynamics of single aerosols and particles at high velocities. Although it wasn’t built specifically to study ice grain impacts, it turns out this instrument might be exactly what planetary scientists are looking for to use at Enceladus, or even at Jupiter’s moon Europa, where there is growing evidence of active plumes of water vapor erupting from its surface.
Robert Continetti’s one-of-a-kind aerosol impact spectrometer was used in this experiment. Ice grains impact the microchannel plate detector (far right) at hypervelocity speeds, which can then be characterized in-situ.
“This apparatus is the only one of its kind in the world that can select single particles and accelerate or decelerate them to chosen final velocities,” said Robert Continetti, a professor from UC San Diego, in a press release. “From several micron diameters down to hundreds of nanometers, in a variety of materials, we’re able to examine particle behavior, such as how they scatter or how their structures change upon impact.”
From Cassini’s measurements, scientists estimate the ice plumes at Enceladus blast out at approximately .4 km/s (800 miles per hour). A spacecraft would have to fly at the right speeds to make sure the particles could be captured intact.
This composite image shows suspected plumes of water vapour erupting at the 7 o’clock position off the limb of Jupiter’s moon Europa. The plumes, photographed by Hubble’s Imaging Spectrograph, were seen in silhouette as the moon passed in front of Jupiter. Hubble’s ultraviolet sensitivity allowed for the features, rising over 160 kilometres above Europa’s icy surface, to be discerned. The water is believed to come from a subsurface ocean on Europa. The Hubble data were taken on January 26, 2014. The image of Europa, superimposed on the Hubble data, is assembled from data from the Galileo and Voyager missions.
Currently slated for launch in October of 2024, the Europa Clipper will travel to Jupiter (it will orbit Jupiter instead of Europa directly). It has a spectrometer on board to determine the composition of the surface and scan any plumes spouting water into space. Continetti and colleagues hope that their research will help determine what impact speeds would be optimal. But they also hope any future probes to Saturn might be able to identify a specific series of molecules in the ice grains that could point to whether life exists in the subsurface oceans of these moons. The challenge is having the molecules survive their speedy ejection from the moon and collection by the probe. They are confident their detector can do it.
“The implications this has for detecting life elsewhere in the Solar System without missions to the surface of these ocean-world moons is very exciting, but our work goes beyond biosignatures in ice grains,” said Continetti. “It has implications for fundamental chemistry as well. We are excited by the prospect of … looking at the formation of the building blocks of life from chemical reactions activated by ice grain impact.”
99% of Space Junk is Undetectable. That Could Change Soon
Private and military organizations are tracking some of the 170 million pieces of space junk orbiting the planet, but they’re limited to how small an object they can detect. Only chunks larger than a softball can be tracked with radar or optical systems, and that only accounts for less than 1% of the junk out there.
But a new technique is being developed to resolve space junk to pieces smaller than one millimeter in diameter.
Called Space Debris Identification and Tracking (SINTRA), the project will test out a new technique that uses the state-of-the-art sensors to detect plasma waves created by fields of debris. The new sensors are used along with existing sensors, such as ground-based radar, tracking satellites, and optical sensors in order to identify and track space debris in the one-millimeter size range.
“Right now, we detect space debris by looking for objects that reflect light or radar signals,” said Nilton Renno, from the University of Michigan and a professor of climate and space sciences, and engineering and aerospace engineering. “The smaller the objects get, the harder it becomes to get sunlight or radar signals strong enough to detect them from the ground.”
SINTRA is a 4-year project that will help advance the sensors needed for detecting orbital debris signatures. SIINTRA is a collaborative project funded by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity’s Space Debris Identification and Tracking Program. The project includes military contractor Blue Halo as well as several universities, such as the University of Michigan and the University of Alaska Fairbanks as well as MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Naval Research Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and JHU Applied Physics Laboratory.

The idea behind SINTRA is to search for the electrical signals emitted by clouds of space debris. Colliding pieces of space debris explode into tiny fragments, some of which vaporize into a charged gas due to the heat created by the impact.
“When the cloud of charged gas and debris fragments expands, it creates lightning-like energy bursts, similar to signals produced by static sparks that appear after rubbing a freshly laundered blanket,” said Mojtaba Akhavan-Tafti, an assistant research scientist in climate and space sciences and engineering, and a lead scientist on the project for the University of Michigan.
The charged gas and debris fragments can create electric field pulses whenever they come close enough to each other, producing additional electrical bursts. These signals last for only a fraction of a second, but they could help track pieces of space debris and clouds of microscopic fragments that form when debris collides.
For example, when two pieces of aluminum collide at typical orbital speeds, they emit an electrical burst strong enough for a 26-meter dish with a high-quality radio receiver to detect from the ground, according to the University of Michigan team’s most recent computer simulations. The electric field pulses should similarly be detectable with more sensitive radio arrays, such as NASA’s Deep Space Network.

If successful, SINTRA would enable the first tracking capability for the ultra-small debris population, reducing risk to worldwide space operations. Space debris in low Earth orbit (LEO) have an average impact velocity of 36,000 km/hr (22,500 MPH). Therefore, even the smallest of debris can cause significant damage to operational satellites.
But there’s a lot of work yet to do in making the SINTRA concept work. The frequency of the electrical signals can vary with the speed of the collision; additionally, what the debris is made of also changes many variables, which could complicate detection.
In a press release from the University of Michigan, Akhavan-Tafti said that to see the electric signals, they need to be stronger than the ground instrument’s background signals and pass through Earth’s upper atmosphere.
For the project, the team will start by measuring real signals with NASA’s Deep Space Network, and analyze data from hypervelocity experiments at the Naval Research Laboratory and NASA’s Ames Research Center. Using the facilities’ lasers, the team can launch different kinds of debris at targets over a range of orbital speeds and measure the characteristics of the electric emissions resulting from the impact. If such experiments reveal a way to detect a wide range of electrical signals generated during space debris collisions, they could determine not just where space debris is, but what it looks like and is made of.
In a press release earlier this year, the US Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity agency said the goal of the SINTRA program is to fill gaps in current space debris-monitoring systems, which currently only track and monitor debris objects larger than four inches across. They said the detection, tracking, and characterization of lethal non-trackable space debris would support the safe operation of valuable space assets worldwide.
Another Fast Radio Burst is Coming from a Hypernebula. Also, Hypernebulae are a Thing
If nothing else catches your attention in the title then surely ‘hypernebula’ does! There are some amazing processes scattered around the cosmos, of particular interest are the fast radio bursts (FRB). These brief flashes of radiation happen without warning…until now. A team in the Netherlands have identified a second FRB as coming from within a hyper nebula – a dense and highly magnetised cloud of plasma that is illuminated by a powerful but unknown source!
FRBs are short outbursts of radio waves which last only a fraction of a second. They seem to originate from distant galaxies and one of the first to be discovered was FRB 20121102A. A second FRB source has been confirmed in the paper by the Netherlands team, this one known as FRB 20190520B. It was discovered by the FAST telescope in China and appears to be associated with hyper nebula just like the other repeating FRBs. Investigations go further revealing that it seems to be associated with a more constant source of radio waves.
The team followed up on their observations using the Very Long Baseline Interferometer (VLBI) which is a network of radio telescopes spread across Europe. Interferometry involves combining the signal form multiple dishes in different places. Using interferometry like this enables astronomers to capture images with a resolution far greater than they could achieve from the individual dishes.
Their observations from the team, led by Shivani Bhandari suggest the size of the host hyper nebula was of the order of 30 light years across, three times the size of the Crab Nebula. They were also able to measure the luminosity revealing it was around a hundred thousand times that of the Sun. This suggests the source may well be an extremely magnetic neutron star known as a magnetar (a neutron star is the highly compressed dense core of a star that went supernova).
Magentars are curious objects but one thing we do know is that they can produce a powerful stream of charged particles that create the surrounding nebulosity and it is from here that the radio source is being emitted. The magnetar inside FRB 20190520B is likely to be generating radio emissions which are prt of the driving force of the FRBs. The team have worked through their data and believe the magnetar to be around 4 and 1,900 years old making and the hyper nebula to be around 900 years old. Compared to most objects in the Universe, these are very very young.
One of the magic things about science is that there are often alternative theories. In the case of these repeating FRBs it may be that the hyper nebula is powered not by magnetism but by gravitation. In systems where there is a black hole or neutron star devouring matter from a nearby companion there could be a burst of radio waves as a result of powerful emissions.
Whether driven by magnetism or gravitational potential energy, these two FRBs are the first two that seem to repeat and are associated with a hyper nebula. Interestingly they are both hosted in low mass dwarf galaxies. They clearly show high levels of activity in young and energetic FRBs but it is interesring that even their older counterparts still emit radio bursts. There are many mysteries about FRBs but these latest observations hope to start to unravel their mysteries.
Het is mogelijk om robots met gedachten te besturen Het klinkt misschien als een sciencefictionverhaal, maar het kunnen besturen van een robot met gedachten krijgt steeds meer voet aan de grond in de wereld van de technologie.
China neemt het voortouw Op het gebied van gedachtengestuurde robots lopen de Chinezen voorop. En dat is niet verwonderlijk, want de laatste jaren hebben de Chinezen ongelooflijke vooruitgang geboekt in wetenschap en technologie. Een goed voorbeeld daarvan is de kunstmatige zon die het land heeft ontwikkeld en die onbeperkte energie kan opwekken.
Een nieuw besturingssysteem Uit enkele openbaringen van de krant South China Morning Post uit Hongkong blijkt dat de Chinezen een nieuw besturingssysteem ontwikkelen dat toekomstige ruimtemissies voorgoed zou kunnen veranderen. Dankzij kunstmatige intelligentie en hersengolven is het straks mogelijk om een robotarm te besturen met het menselijk brein.
Een nooit eerder bereikte precisie Veel details van deze nieuwe technologie zijn nog topgeheim, of tenminste nog niet uit het onderzoek dat in het Chinese wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Control and Measurement of Computers verscheen uitgelekt. Zeker is dat deze nieuwe manier van werken een nooit eerder bereikte precisie heeft.
Waar wordt het toegepast? Het is de bedoeling dat de Chinese astronauten – ook wel taikonauten genoemd – op het Chinese ruimtestation met uiterste precisie een enorme robotarm kunnen bewegen.
Het Chinese ruimtestation China beschikt reeds over twee ruimtestations, Tiangong-1 en Tiangong-2. Het land werkt momenteel aan een nog groter derde station met meerdere modules, waarop deze gigantische arm zal worden geïnstalleerd.
Hoe werkt de nieuwe technologie? Laten we eens proberen te begrijpen hoe dit nieuwe en formidabele besturingssysteem werkt. Op het hoofd van de bediener is een apparaat aangesloten, waarmee hij zich alleen maar hoeft te concentreren op het deel van de robotarm dat hij wil bewegen, en deze de ontvangen order uitvoert.
Codering van neuronale impulsen De verschillende onderdelen waaruit de robotarm bestaat zullen met tussenpozen oplichten totdat ze door de bediener worden gekozen. De neuronale impulsen zullen door het apparaat worden gecodeerd en op die manier overgebracht worden van geest naar object, in dit geval een robotarm.
Kunstmatige intelligentie Het verschil tussen sciencefiction en werkelijkheid wordt gevormd door de hersengolven die de hersenen naar het scherm sturen. Aangezien deze echter te zwak zijn om al het werk zelf te doen, worden ze geholpen door kunstmatige intelligentie.
De uitgevoerde tests met deze nieuwe technologie zijn werkelijk verbluffend. We hebben het in feite over een doeltreffendheid en precisie gelijk aan 99%. Vergelijk dat maar eens met de technologieën die vandaag de dag worden gebruikt met besturingssystemen die een nauwkeurigheid hebben van 40 tot 80%.
Waarom telekinese in de ruimte? Je kunt je afvragen wat de reden van de Chinese onderzoekers was om tot deze ongelooflijke innovatie te komen. Daarop is het antwoord: de gewichtloosheid.
Het ontbreken van zwaartekracht De ruimte is, zoals bekend, een omgeving zonder zwaartekracht. Daardoor kunnen astronauten sommige systemen aan boord alleen bedienen met joysticks en toetsenborden, met alle problemen van dien als gevolg van de gewichtloosheid.
Geen joysticks en toetsenborden meer Wang Congqing, de bedenker van de technologie, zegt hierover: "Bij toekomstige ruimtemissies zullen machines en mensen samenwerken, waardoor toetsenborden, muizen en joysticks niet langer meer nodig zijn. Het enige dat hiervoor nodig is, zijn de hersenen en de ogen".
Niet alleen in de ruimte Maar dit is niet alleen van toepassing op de ruimtevaart. De technologie op basis van 'denkkracht' zou ook uitgebreid kunnen worden naar andere sectoren, zoals fabrieken.

Aan lopende banden Een besturingssysteem met telekinese kan in een werkomgeving waar voortdurend nauw contact is tussen mens en machine een hele revolutie teweegbrengen, waarbij de processen aan de lopende band veel sneller en soepeler verlopen.
Wachten op ontwikkelingen Momenteel bevindt dit revolutionaire besturingssysteem zich nog in de testfase. Het is nog even wachten op verdere ontwikkelingen en afwachten of de astronauten er daadwerkelijk van kunnen profiteren.
At first glance, it may look like an ordinary, run-of-the-mill camouflage coat. However, what a group of Chinese graduate students have actually developed is a cost-effective “invisibility coat” capable of concealing the human body from AI-monitored security cameras, both day and night.
At the forgivable price of just $70 USD, the high-tech jacket, which has been dubbed the “InvisDefense coat,” was crafted by a team of four graduate students from Wuhan University in China. The real-life sci-fi coat secured the top prize at the inaugural “Huawei Cup,” a cybersecurity innovation contest sponsored by the Chinese tech giant Huawei.
Professor Wang Zheng from the School of Computer Science oversaw the team, comprising doctoral student Wei Hui from the School of Computer Science, along with postgraduates Li Zhubo and Dai Shuyv from the School of Cyber Science and Engineering, and postgraduate Jian Zehua from the Economics and Management School.
The InvisDefense invisibility cloak involves a kind of camouflage pattern designed by a new algorithm, which challenges the efficacy of this commonly used method of AI pedestrian detection. “In layman’s terms, it means cameras can detect you but cannot determine that you are human,” according to a statement released by Wuhan University (WHU).

In contrast to stealth fighter jets, which are only invisible to radar, the InvisDefense invisibility cloak renders itself undetectable to machine recognition rather than the naked eye. “Visual neural network refers to machine vision, not visual recognition of humans. It is widely used in video surveillance equipment with the pedestrian detection function and smart cars,” Professor Zheng explained.
The all-weather InvisDefense coat is visible to the human eye. However, to cameras, specific camouflage patterns disrupt the visual neural network during the day, while at night, InvisDefense incorporates temperature control materials, allowing stealth protection from thermal infrared imaging through distinct color blocks.
An innovative defense product, the InvisDefense invisibility cloak offers a potential new means to safeguard personal privacy and security. However, there are also concerns that arise from the development of such technology; the design of the coat could potentially confuse certain detection systems employed in self-driving cars and similar technologies.
During tests of the coat using on-campus security cameras, the accuracy of human detection saw a reduction of 57 percent. The researchers noted that one of the first challenges in developing the coat was finding a balance to deceive both the camera and the human eye.
“Nowadays, many surveillance devices can detect human bodies. Cameras on the road have pedestrian detection functions and smart cars can identify pedestrians, roads and obstacles,” Professor Wang told the South China Morning Post.
“Our InvisDefense allows the camera to capture you, but it cannot tell if you are human.”
Outside of the consumer trends that may potentially evolve from this technology, Professor Wang Zheng noted the invention may likely find possible applications in stealth military uniforms to evade detection from drones or AI units.
Furthermore, he notes that the algorithm could prove valuable in AI research, primarily by allowing researchers to more fully identify potential vulnerabilities.
Unidentified flying objects are no longer a myth. Their existence has been accepted at the official level. The US government along with NASA has started an investigation on UFOs. The governments are not only looking for them into the sky but the underwater anomalies have also become a big concern for the military.
While the US government has found no evidence to call UFOs alien spacecraft, in 2013, the Russian government classified several documents describing the meetings of Russian soldiers with underwater UFOs including humanoids.
During the Soviet era, it was restricted to talk about UFOs and USOs but when it got disintegrated, some files came up with shocking information about alien spacecraft. The declassified documents said that the Russian navy found these unidentified objects technologically superior to Earth vehicles.
Russian submarine Severodvinsk (K-560)
One of the undated accounts was a Soviet nuclear submarine’s encounter with the formation of six alien spacecraft in the south of the Pacific ocean. At the depth of 260 meters, the six disc-like objects were moving towards the submarine at the speed of 426 km per hour. The crew could not escape their pursuit, and the commander ordered the crew to rise to the surface. The crew saw through the periscope that the objects came out of the water and took off at absurdly fast speed.
The same incident was covered by the British UFO researcher named Philip Mantle in his book “Russia’s USO Secrets: Unidentified Submersible Objects in Russian and International Waters.”
According to former nuclear submarine commander Yury Beketov, many mysterious events also took place in the Bermuda Triangle region. The devices failed for no apparent reason. He believed that the UFOs were behind it.
“[In Translation]We have repeatedly observed that devices record the movement of material objects at an unimaginable speed. We measured some speeds – it is about 230 knots (400 km per hour). Such speed is difficult to create on the surface, only in the air. But there is gigantic resistance in the water. As if the laws of physics do not apply to these objects. There is only one conclusion: the creatures who created such material objects significantly surpass us in development” Beketov said.
Another Navy intelligence Captain Igor Barclay said that the Unidentified submerged objects were seen in the places where the Russian Navy and NATO fleet are concentrated. He said: “These are the Bahamas and Bermuda, Puerto Rico. Especially often UFOs are seen in the deepest region of the Atlantic – in the south of the Bermuda Triangle and in the Caribbean.”
Lake Baikal
Fishermen often talked about glowing light coming from the depth of Lake Baikal and people who went swimming in the lake were dragged by the unknown creaturs. There is also a myth associated with the lake, talking about water spirits or krakens. Lake Baikal is the largest and deepest freshwater lake with a depth of approx. 1642 meters.
The most interesting encounter of the Russian military occurred beneath Lake Baikal in 1982. Seven trained Russian navy divers claimed to have seen about 9 feet tall humanoids, 50 meters deep into the lake during a research mission. They were wearing tight silvery suits and spherical helmets on their heads. It was surprising for the divers to see them without any scuba gears, breathing underwater.
The divers decided to catch one of them but the entities reacted with the powerful force that propelled the entire group of divers up to the surface from the deep water. Due to the rapid decompression, three divers died while others got severely injured.
A former employee of the British Government’s Ministry of Defence Nick Pope said, “These strange humanoid figures were much bigger than human beings and appeared to be wearing a helmet of some sort.”
In 1959, the Soviet TU-104 Camel jet airliner was chased by a UFO while flying over Lake Baikal. “Before falling into the lake, the captain of the ship allegedly informed the dispatchers about an unidentified flying object moving in the sky. All those present in the control room at that time had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. And the people fishing at the lake nearby saw a flying saucer chasing the falling plane – it accompanied the aircraft until the latter fell to the water.”
After flying objects, now underwater objects have become a subject of investigation for the governments. If extraterrestrials exist, then the oceans are the best place to hide as they are still hard for humans to explore.
I found some interesting structures and thought hey, make a post and share it with others, because often I find things but don't show them. I still have things I found years ago and haven't shown anyone. A few worthy of an episode of Ancient Aliens.
I found these structures and they were at the center of the craters. They are dark structures sitting in a highly reflective sand crater. The reflectiveness of the crater makes the really obvious. This really explains why NASA never went back to the moon, it's occupied already.
Don Shrum, an ordinary man with an extraordinary tale, ventured into the Tahoe National Forest for a weekend hunting trip. Working for Aerojet Corporation, a military subcontractor, Shrum was a welder by profession, skilled in handling Polaris and Titan nuclear missiles. This routine excursion took a turn into the surreal, setting the stage for one of the most intriguing UFO sightings in history.
The Encounter: A Night of Unearthly Visitors
As night fell, Shrum realized he was lost. Opting for safety, he climbed a large pine tree to avoid potential wild animals. This decision inadvertently positioned him as a witness to a bizarre and terrifying spectacle. A silent, hovering light, initially mistaken for a rescue helicopter, revealed itself as something far more enigmatic. This light was a precursor to the arrival of a huge, cylindrical UFO and smaller saucer-shaped crafts, marking the beginning of a long, otherworldly ordeal.
Shrum’s account details encounters with beings not of this Earth. Small humanoid figures with large, goggle-like eyes, and a robot-like entity featured prominently in his harrowing experience. These beings, equipped with advanced technology, tried various methods to capture Shrum, who valiantly defended himself using arrows and improvised firebombs.
The Aftermath: A Life Forever Changed
The impact of this encounter on Don Shrum was profound. He endured severe PTSD and his professional life suffered dramatically. Despite the personal costs, Shrum’s story remained consistent over the years, lending credibility to his extraordinary claim.
Wright-Patterson AFB Involvement: A Clue to the Truth?
The involvement of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, known for its connection to Project Blue Book and UFO investigations, adds an intriguing government angle to the story. Investigators from the base took Shrum’s account seriously, recording his testimony and examining evidence, hinting at the significance of this case.
Skepticism and Belief: The Ongoing Debate
While skeptics point to the lack of physical evidence and the story’s alignment with 1960s sci-fi tropes, believers argue the psychological impact on Shrum and corroborative statements from other witnesses validate the encounter. The Air Force’s dismissal of the event as a hoax contrasts starkly with the detailed investigation they conducted, leaving room for speculation.

Alles wat je moet weten over het noorderlicht Iedereen zou dit natuurfenomeen minstens een keer in zijn leven moeten zien. Klik verder in deze galerij om meer te weten te komen over aurora borealis en de beste plekken om het licht te spotten!
Fenomeen De aurora borealis is een visueel fenomeen dat voorkomt boven de magnetische polen van het noordelijk halfrond. Hetzelfde fenomeen doet zich voor op andere planeten zoals Jupiter, Saturnus, Venus en Mars.
Hoe het onstaat De aurora borealis ontstaat wanneer een stroom van geladen deeltjes door de zonnewind worden meegevoerd naar de atmosfeer van de aarde en daar in botsing komt met het magnetische veld van de aarde.
Fairbanks, VS De stad Fairbanks in Alaska bevindt zich op de 65e breedtegraad, direct onder de aurora ovaal (de gigantische ring boven de magnetische noordpool waar het noorderlicht ontstaat). Hier zie je het noorderlicht op z'n best!
Nellim, Finland Nellim ligt in Lapland, op ongeveer 8 kilometer van de Russische grens. Dit is een van de beste spots om het noorderlicht te bekijken in Finland.

Unveiled: Could This Be the Real Vandenberg UFO Footage from 1964? #UFOTruth #VandenbergMystery
In the vast expanse of our universe, mysteries abound, and few are as captivating as the story that unfolded in 1964 – a tale that intertwines the enigmatic world of UFOs with the high-stakes arena of military might. Today, we delve into a chapter of this saga, brought to life by an alleged leaked video that claims to show an unprecedented encounter.
The Backdrop: A Missile, A Camera, and An Uninvited Guest
It was a day like any other at the Big Sur Test Range in California, or so it seemed. The U.S. Air Force was testing a nuclear missile, an event meticulously captured by cameras. Among these cameras, one operated by Lieutenant Robert Jacobs, was about to document something extraordinary. According to Jacobs, his film captured an unidentified flying object (UFO) in the act of intercepting and disabling the nuclear warhead with a precise laser-like beam.
The Claim: A Warhead, A UFO, and A Laser
The story goes that the warhead, instead of following its predetermined trajectory, malfunctioned and plunged into the sea – an outcome allegedly caused by the intervention of the UFO. For decades, this narrative has circulated in whispers and rumors, never substantiated by concrete evidence, until now.
The Alleged Leaked Video: A Glimpse into the Unknown
This video, which has recently surfaced, purports to be the long-lost evidence of that day’s extraordinary events. It offers viewers a glimpse of what might be one of the most significant encounters between human technology and an unidentified aerial phenomenon.
Skepticism and Enthusiasm: The Dual Faces of Reception
While the authenticity of this video is yet to be verified, it has already ignited a firestorm of debate. Skeptics question its legitimacy, pointing to the absence of corroborative evidence and the ease with which digital content can be manipulated. Meanwhile, enthusiasts see it as a potential key to unlocking a long-standing mystery, perhaps even a doorway to understanding advanced extraterrestrial technology.
The Scientific Stance: Caution and Curiosity
The scientific community, ever cautious, urges a measured approach. They advocate for a thorough analysis of the video, considering all possible explanations, before jumping to conclusions about extraterrestrial involvement.
A Story Continue
As we present this video to the world, we invite viewers to watch with an open mind but also a critical eye. This alleged leaked video, whether it proves to be a groundbreaking discovery or an intriguing piece of fiction, adds a fascinating chapter to the ongoing story of humanity’s quest to understand the unknown realms of our universe.

Elke dag presenteert de NASA ons een adembenemend uitzicht op het heelal in de “Astronomiefoto van de Dag.” Vandaag (6) benadrukte de ruimtevaartorganisatie een kosmische strijd tussen sterren en stof in de Carinanevel.
De afbeelding is vastgelegd door de Hubble Space Telescope en onthult een kosmisch schouwspel binnen de regio die bekend staat als de Mystieke Berg, bestaande uit zuilen van stof die, ondanks hun ondoorzichtige uiterlijk, voornamelijk bestaan uit transparant waterstofgas.
In deze hemelse scène ontketenen nieuw gevormde en massieve sterren een energetische dans, waarbij hun licht en winden geleidelijk de stellaire kraamkamers verdampen waar ze zijn geboren. Sommige van deze stofzuilen, die lijken op hemelse fakkels, worden daadwerkelijk verlicht door nabijgelegen sterren, waardoor een prachtige ‘verwarring’ van licht en schaduw ontstaat.
De Carinanevel, officieel bekend als HH1066, strekt zich uit over bijna een lichtjaar en bevindt zich op ongeveer 7.500 lichtjaar van de aarde.

Strange phenomenon appears above thunderstorm at high altitude
The existence of elusive electrical discharges in the upper atmosphere, known by intriguing names like red sprites, blue jets, pixies, and elves, has been a subject of debate for years.
Astronaut Andreas Mogensen from the European Space Agency (ESA) recently documented rare thunder phenomena as part of the Thor-Davis experiment during his Huginn mission at the International Space Station.
Among his remarkable captures was a red sprite, a type of Transient Luminous Event (TLE), occurring above thunderclouds at an altitude ranging from 40 to 80 kilometers. Scientists estimate the red sprite's dimensions to be approximately 14 by 26 kilometers.
In a previous instance in 2015, Mogensen also successfully recorded kilometer-wide blue flashes at an altitude of around 18 kilometers, including a pulsating blue jet reaching up to 40 kilometers.
This atmospheric phenomenon remains poorly understood, constituting a mysterious aspect of our atmosphere. Electrical storms extending into the stratosphere not only contribute to the fascination of these events but also bear implications for our understanding of how the atmosphere shields us from radiation.

Coast to Coast AM: The Flatwoods Monster Chronicles – The UFO Connection
Coast to Coast AM: The Flatwoods Monster Chronicles – The UFO Connection
In the quaint town of Flatwoods,West Virginia, a story has lingered for decades, shrouded in mystery and intrigue. It’s a tale that intertwines with the larger narrative of the UFO phenomenon in the United States, particularly the unprecedented wave of sightings in 1952. This story is about the Flatwoods Monster, an incident that has captivated researchers, conspiracy theorists, and the public alike.
The Encounter: A Night to Remember
It was a crisp evening on September 12, 1952, when a group of residents in Flatwoods reported seeing a bright object crossing the sky and landing nearby. Among them was Kathleen May, a local mother, who, along with her two sons and their friends, ventured into the darkness to investigate. Accompanied by their trusty dogs, they walked towards the Fisher Farm, unaware that they were about to become central figures in one of the most baffling UFO encounters in history.
As they ascended a hill, they encountered a pulsating red light. Approaching cautiously, they were suddenly engulfed in a pungent mist causing eye and respiratory irritation. Amidst this confusion, they spotted a figure, which would later be known as the Flatwoods Monster. Described as being nearly ten feet tall, the creature had a glowing face, a head shaped like the Ace of Spades, and a dark, metallic exoskeleton. It emitted a shrill hissing noise and seemed to glide towards them, causing the group to flee in terror.
The Aftermath and Investigations
The incident quickly captured national attention, with various newspapers and investigators flocking to Flatwoods. Among the most notable was Frank Feschino Jr., who extensively researched the encounter, interviewing witnesses and piecing together the events of that night. His findings suggest that the Flatwoods Monster was not an isolated incident but part of a larger series of UFO sightings and landings during the 1952 wave.
Theories abound as to the nature of the Flatwoods Monster. Some, like Feschino, propose that it was a mechanical entity, possibly a malfunctioning extraterrestrial craft or a suit, evidenced by the oil-like substance reported by witnesses. Others speculate that it was an entity wearing some form of protective gear, adapted for our atmosphere.
Connecting the Dots: The 1952 UFO Wave
The Flatwoods incident didn’t occur in a vacuum. 1952 was a landmark year for UFO sightings, with numerous reports across the United States. This wave reached its peak with the famous Washington, D.C., “flap,” where multiple unidentified objects were tracked by radar and witnessed by air traffic controllers.
Feschino’s research draws parallels between the Flatwoods sighting and other UFO incidents of the time. He suggests that these sightings were part of a larger, perhaps exploratory, mission by extraterrestrial beings. His mapping of the sightings and landings indicates a pattern, suggesting strategic movements rather than random appearances.
Legacy and Continuing Mystery
The Flatwoods Monster remains a compelling chapter in the annals of UFOlogy. It’s a story that has endured the test of time, captivating the imagination of those who dare to look up at the stars and wonder. For the residents of Flatwoods, it’s a part of their history, a mysterious event that has defined their town in the eyes of the world.

Coast to Coast AM: The Flatwoods Monster Chronicles.. The UFO Connection
As we continue to explore the vastness of space and the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the story of the Flatwoods Monster serves as a reminder of the unknowns that lie beyond our understanding. It’s a tale that asks more questions than it answers, leaving us to ponder the mysteries of the universe and our place within it.
De Hubble Space Telescope heeft een fantastische afbeelding vastgelegd van het dichtbevolkte bolvormige sterrencluster genaamd NGC 2210, gelegen in de Grote Magelhaense Wolk, een satellietstelsel dat om de Melkweg draait.
Deze clusters zijn stabiele, dichte groepen van miljoenen sterren, bestudeerd om oude stellaire populaties te onderzoeken. Onderzoek uit 2017 onthulde dat de NGC 2210 ongeveer 11,6 miljard jaar oud is, waarmee het de jongste in de steekproef is, terwijl anderen in de Grote Magelhaense Wolk nog ouder zijn, sommige zelfs meer dan 13 miljard jaar.
Deze ontdekking suggereert dat de oudste clusters in de Grote Magelhaense Wolk gelijktijdig zijn ontstaan met die in de Melkweg, ondanks dat de twee sterrenstelsels onafhankelijk van elkaar zijn ontwikkeld. Afgezien van hun wetenschappelijke waarde is de cluster visueel indrukwekkend, met een intense concentratie van sterren.
A lot has been happening in the UFO community. Following the July 2023 UAP hearings, the UFO buzz is spreading across the United States. Many people are discussing the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), which has led to the release of information never shared before. Pentagon whistleblower David Grusch has drawn serious attention to the UFO enigma, motivating some important individuals to escalate the matter in the US Congress.
Daniel Sheehan, an attorney who represented Lue Elizondo, spills the beans and speaks of things he has never shared before. He blames these five officials for putting up resistance to the UAP legislation ( the UAP Disclosure Act of 2023, put forth by Senate leader Chuck Schumer): Senators Wicker and Mitch McConnell (Minority Leader of the Senate), and Representatives Mike Turner, Mike Rogers, and Mike Johnson (Speaker of the House).
Sheehan, a public interest lawyer and activist, has a long history of taking on the federal government on behalf of high-profile clients, including defending The New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case as well as one of the Watergate burglars. He is also widely viewed as a provocateur who has an abiding interest in UFOs and has spoken publicly about alien visitations. He also served as counsel for the Disclosure Project, led by ufologist Steven Greer, which has sought to force more government transparency on UFOs.
Journalist Christopher Sharp writes that Sheehan told Liberation Times “that the resistance against the UAP language is headed by Representatives Mike Rogers and Mike Turner, Chairs of the House’s Armed Services Committee and Intelligence Committee. Sheehan and other sources revealed that both individuals have faced pressure from private defense contractors and the intelligence community, influencing their opposition.”
According to Sheehan, certain entities, such as private aerospace companies (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Radiance Technologies), and the CIA’s Directorate of Operations, are pressuring Representatives Turner and Rogers, possibly through campaign contributions or threats. He highlighted the CIA’s involvement in covert operations, especially related to non-human materials and UFO technology.
Sheehan’s Wild UAP Statements
Sheehan is actively giving interviews where he reveals some of the UFO information that would come as shocking to the people who are not aware of what is happening with the UFO subject. In the recent episode of “The UFO Podcast,” Sheehan said 40 witnesses have come forward with compelling evidence supporting the existence of UFO crafts. These witnesses, he claims, are aware not only of the existence of such crafts but also of the aerospace industry’s involvement in reverse engineering them for weapon development purposes. Sheehan stressed the gravity of the situation, labeling it an “extraordinarily serious problem.”
The proposed bill, as described by Sheehan, seeks to establish an international treaty that prohibits any country from using UFO technology to gain a military advantage. The overarching goal is to prevent the development of weapon systems based on UFO technology. Despite widespread bipartisan support, Sheehan revealed obstacles encountered during the legislative process.
“The individual head of the intelligence committee on the house side, the Republican head Michael Turner, intervened. He actually comes from the second congressional district in Ohio, where the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is located,” Sheehan explained. He noted that Turner’s ties to the area, home to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, may have influenced his stance on UFO disclosure.
Sheehan next pointed to Michael Rogers from the second congressional district in Alabama, head of the armed services committee, linking his involvement to the Redstone missile base. Allegedly, this base is a key location where efforts are underway to utilize UFO technology for the development of more effective missiles, including nuclear missiles.
According to Sheehan, the term “catastrophic disclosure” varies in definition among different individuals. Some interpret it as the revelation of criminal acts committed against those attempting to disclose information, resulting in potential criminal liability for various individuals. Drawing parallels to historical cases, Sheehan points to the Pentagon Papers incident during the Nixon Administration.
In the Pentagon Papers case, the government argued that disclosing information from the classified documents would irreparably damage national security. Sheehan underscores the importance of distinguishing between genuine concerns for national security and potential abuses of power. He recalls a similar refusal by officials to divulge specific details in court during the Pentagon Papers case, emphasizing the abuse of discretionary power within intelligence agencies.
One of Sheehan’s major concerns is the secrecy surrounding information related to unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the potential existence of an extraterrestrial civilization. He criticizes the idea that a select few have the right to withhold such information from the public, labeling it as preposterous, fundamentally unconstitutional, anti-democratic, and, in his professional opinion, criminal.
During the discussion on the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, Sheehan was asked by the show host, Andy, “You’ve used ‘extraterrestrial civilization’ a few times, and you’re a careful lawyer. Why do you say ‘civilization’ and not ‘civilizations’? Do you think there’s only one, or are you saying there might not be more than one interacting with us?”
Sheehan confidently replied, “Oh yeah, there are definitely different species here. About half a dozen have been identified, and they probably come from different star systems…We don’t know if they have some kind of coalition or federation, or how they cooperate among themselves. We just don’t have the answers.”
Sheehan expressed concern about possible communication between government individuals and these beings, with important information being kept secret. He stated, “There’s evidence that there’s been communication with these extraterrestrial beings, and we’re being kept in the dark. That goes against our Constitution.”
Vatican’s involvement in UAPs & Alien life
In his other interview with James Landoli on “Engaging The Phenomenon,” Sheehan who was a former Chief Council for the United States Jesuit order, revealed intriguing details about his conversations with the head of the Vatican archives regarding the Vatican’s knowledge of extraterrestrial life. Sheehan sheds light on his involvement in a groundbreaking initiative to address the theological and philosophical implications of the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence.
During the interview, James raised the topic of David Grusch‘s claim that the Vatican possessed knowledge of extraterrestrial phenomena. Sheehan discussed his access to classified files of Project Blue, where he encountered photos of UFO crash retrievals and concrete evidence of non-human piloted vehicles. (Click here to read the full article on it)
He proposed the formation of a task force involving all 54 major religious denominations to address the issue from a theological perspective. However, at that time, there was insufficient consensus, and the proposal was declined. Sheehan is currently working through his New Paradigm Institute to organize a global summit conference involving world religious leaders to discuss the recent recovery of an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
“The United States government is in possession of biological evidence and has actually taken into custody alive an extraterrestrial person. They’re keeping this secret, interrogating the being, and distorting the information to justify massive expenditures on weapon development under the guise of a perceived threat.” – Daniel Sheehan
Sheehan highlighted the Vatican’s acknowledgment of the possibility of extraterrestrial life. He referenced a formal statement issued by the Catholic Church on November 10, 2009, authorized by Pope Benedict. The statement, issued by Father Jose Gabriel Alfuz, director of the Pontifical Observatory in Rome, recognized the increasing discovery of exoplanets and called for a global discussion on the philosophical and theological implications of the imminent discovery of extraterrestrial life.
Sheehan disclosed that the government was telepathically interrogating the extraterrestrial biological entity (EBO) in custody. Despite acknowledging the bizarre nature of the revelation, Sheehan stood by the credibility of the information, having interviewed individuals directly involved in the process. The EBO allegedly conveyed that a coalition of star systems in our galaxy monitors the evolution of life on different planets, including Earth.
“Pope Benedict had a formal statement issued by the Catholic Church, saying that with the discovery of more exoplanets, it has become clear that we will be discovering life elsewhere in the universe. This prompted the need for a global discussion on the philosophical and theological questions posed by the discovery of extraterrestrial life.” – Daniel Sheehan
The Hill reported that on the Senate floor, Chuck Schumer stated that “House Republicans are also attempting to kill another commonsense, bipartisan measure passed by the Senate, which I was proud to cosponsor… to increase transparency around what the government does and does not know about unidentified aerial phenomena.”
New Claims of a 27,000-Year-Old Indonesian Pyramid Spark Controversy
A controversial paper recently published in the journal Archaeological Prospection has generated debate and criticism from archaeologists and geologists alike. In this newly completed study, a team of Indonesian researchers argues that a series of buried rock formations at the prehistoric megalithic site of Gunung Padang in West Java are actually a large, man-made Indonesian pyramid that was constructed in stages starting as long as 27,000 years ago.
These claims are not new. Although new evidence has been brought forward to back the claim, including dating tests, this thesis has been—perhaps unsurprisingly—forcefully rejected by the mainstream scientific community. For it seems that they refute the notion that a pyramid-building society would have existed in Indonesia or anywhere else before the end of the last Ice Age in 10,000 BC.
In the newly published article, the Indonesian researchers present their thesis that four layers of megalithic stone structures were built over the course of many thousands of years. This was done on top of the defunct and decayed volcano known as Gunung Padang, which is located in West Java’s rocky and hilly countryside.
The research team was led by Dr. Danny Hilman Natawidjaja from Indonesia’s Research Center for Natural Disasters, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). Proving that the stone formations at Gunung Padang were built by a long-lost Ice Age civilization has been a long-time obsession for Dr. Natawidjaja. In the process, his efforts have made him a lightning rod for criticism from academics who dismiss his ideas out of hand.
The seemingly hand carved rocks at Gunung Padang, in West Java
There is no dispute that the top two layers at Gunung Padang include rock columns, walls, pathways and spaces that were intentionally constructed. But the accepted belief is that the deeper “structures” are not the foundation of an Indonesian pyramid, but natural rock formations created by past volcanic activity and untouched by human hands.
If the alternative hypothesis is correct, it would mean there were builders working with heavy stones in Indonesia long before there were any in Egypt, where the 4,600-year-old Pyramid of Djoser stands as the country’s oldest. If they existed, these Indonesian pyramids would have predated even the monumental construction experts responsible for creating the world’s oldest known megalithic structures at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, in approximately 9,000 BC.
“The pyramid has become a symbol of advanced civilization,” Dr. Natawidjaja said in an article about his controversial study just published by Nature. “It's not easy to build pyramids. You need high masonry skills.”
The latter observation is correct and a main point of dispute, as other Indonesian researchers (and scientists from other nations as well) are quick to point out when discussing the Indonesian pyramid hypothesis.
Dr. Lutfi Yondri, an archaeologist and Dr. Natawidjaja’s colleague at BRIN, notes that his research shows that people only inhabited caves in the West Java region between 12,000 and 6,000 years ago. Yondri also argues that no evidence has ever emerged suggesting these people possessed advanced masonry skills.
Dr. Yondri’s dismissive attitude to his colleague’s ideas is shared by most Indonesian archaeologists and geologists. When it comes to the subject of Indonesian pyramids, they have taken the extraordinary step of circulating a petition decrying Dr. Natawidjaja’s research and government support for it back in 2018.
The international rejection of the newest version of Dr. Natawidjaja’s thesis has been just as vehement as the local opposition. “I'm surprised [the paper] was published as is,” stated Dr. Flint Dibble, an archaeologist at Cardiff University in the UK.
While acknowledging the paper presented some legitimately intriguing data, he was firm in his insistence that the study’s conclusions in relation to the supposed Indonesian pyramid are not supported by the bulk of the evidence. This assertion is echoed by many other scientists, who simply can’t conceive of how monumental stone builders could have been found in Indonesia in 25,000 BC.

The Indonesian Pyramid Theory is Making Waves
Perched on top of an ancient volcano, Gunung Padang consists of five stepped stone terraces, retaining walls and connecting staircases. Between 2011 and 2014 Dr. Natawidjaja and his colleagues used ground-penetrating radar and carbon-dating techniques to identify four distinct rock formation layers at the site, all of which they believe show signs of human modification. The innermost layer is made from hardened lava, which the researchers claim has been “meticulously sculpted.”
Summarizing all the research they’ve completed of the supposed Indonesian pyramid over the past decade-plus, in their paper in Archaeological Prospection Dr. Natawidjaja and his team state their conclusions thusly:
“This study strongly suggests that Gunung Padang is not a natural hill but a pyramid-like construction. The pyramid's core consists of meticulously sculpted massive andesite lava (Unit 4), enveloped by layers of rock constructions (Unit 3, Unit 2 and Unit 1). The carbon dating analysis further supports the multi-layer construction's long history, spanning successive periods.
The oldest construction, Unit 4, likely originated as a natural lava hill before being sculpted and then architecturally enveloped during the last glacial period between 25 000 and 14 000 BCE. Afterward, Gunung Padang was abandoned by the first builders for thousands of years, leading to significant weathering. Around 7900–6100 BCE, Unit 3 was deliberately buried with substantial soil fills. Approximately a millennium later, between 6000 and 5500 BCE, a subsequent builder arrived at Gunung Padang and constructed Unit 2. Lastly, the final builder arrived between 2000 and 1100 BCE, constructing Unit 1.”
Dr. Natawidjaja and his colleagues first made their case for the artificial nature of the rock formations at Gunung Padang during the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Washington, D.C. in 2018. Their claims of having found an Indonesian pyramid were greeted with intense skepticism at that time. Meanwhile, the feelings of the archaeological establishment in Indonesia and elsewhere have not changed in the years since.
Commenting on the new paper, Dr. Dibble stated that there is no clear evidence that buried rock formations were constructed by humans. Dibble claimed they were more likely to have come about because of erosion and rock movements over time. “Material rolling down a hill is going to, on average, orient itself,” he told Nature.
But Natawidjaja counters that the column-shaped stones were too large and precisely arranged to have arrived in their present locations through such a process. “The neatly arranged, shaped and massive nature of these rocks, some weighing up to 300 kilograms [661 lbs], dismisses the likelihood of transportation over significant distances,” he said.
Beyond the dispute over whether buried rock “structures” that seem geometrical could arise through natural forces, there is also the fact that the current model of the rise of civilization doesn’t fit Dr. Natawidjaja’s theories.
Dr. Bill Farley, an archaeologist at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, says the new study fails to provide evidence that any type of advanced civilization existed during the last Ice Age. Archaeological records suggest that only hunter-gatherer societies existed before 12,000 years ago, and without any artifacts from earlier times Dr. Farley rejects the idea that the alleged pyramidal structure at Gunung Padang can be attributed to an ancient culture.
The many seemingly manmade rocks at Gunung Padang are explained as naturally occurring formations by geologists.
Indonesian Pyramid Controversy: Punishment for Scientific Heresy?
Apparently in response to the controversy, the publisher of Archaeological Prospection, Wiley, has just announced it will be conducting an investigation of Dr. Natawidjaja’s team’s work. “The editors, including me, and the Wiley ethics team are currently investigating this paper in accordance with Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines,” stated Eileen Ernenwein, an archaeological geophysicist at Tennessee State University who co-edits Archaeological Prospection.
Dr. Ernenwein did not reveal what concerns she thinks might justify this type of investigation, which is troubling. While archaeologists who believe the buried formations at Gunung Padang are natural do have the current scientific consensus on their side, it isn’t at all clear why Wiley has chosen to launch a probe into the composition and publishing of an article that presents an alternative hypothesis, even when it does posit the existence of Indonesian pyramids.
The open-minded presentation of controversial theories, or even outright advocacy for them, doesn’t automatically represent some type of ethical breach that needs to be investigated. In reality, science is supposed to welcome challenges from “outsiders” and mavericks with alternative hypotheses, and counter them exclusively with factual knowledge rather than personal or professional attacks that question the integrity of the dissenters.
Maverick theorists could just as easily question the motives of those whose livelihoods or reputations rely on the preservation of the status quo. In the end everyone’s beliefs could be attacked or dismissed if such an approach is taken to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that despite the controversy generated by claims of an Indonesian pyramid, Dr. Danny Hilman Natawidjaja possesses impeccable credentials. He received his PhD from the prestigious California Institute of Technology (CalTech), served as the senior geologist at the Indonesian Center for Geotechnical Research, and has been a member in good standing at the Indonesia Institute of Sciences.
“We are really open to anyone researchers around the world would like to come to Indonesia and do some research on Gunung Padang,” Dr. Natawidjaja told Nature, highlighting his preference to work with the scientific community instead of being at odds with it. “We know very little about our human history.”
