Firsthand evidence of Jesus' crucifixion is found in ancient Roman manuscript

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Ancient manuscripts detailing the events during the Roman Empire are believed to contain 'first hand' evidence about the life and death of Jesus Christ.

The Annals, written by the Roman historian Tacitus only 91 years after Jesus's death, begins with the death of Emperor Augustus in 14AD and finishes with Nero's suicide 54 years later.

In Book 15, the historian discusses the Great Fire of Rome in 54AD, shortly before Nero's death, which the emperor blamed on a class 'called Christians.'

The second sentence reads: 'Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus.'

'Christus,' the Latin version of 'Christ,' means 'the Anointed One' or 'the Messiah,' and comes from the Hebrew word Mashiach (Messiah).

The Bible's New Testament states that Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, sentenced Jesus to death by crucifixion.

Tacitus discusses the persecution of Christ's followers, who were spreading into Rome from Judaea, writing how 'an arrest was made of all who pleaded guilty to being Christian.'

'Covered with the skins of wild beasts, they were torn by dogs and perished, or were nailed to crosses, or were doomed to the flames and burnt, to serve as a nightly illumination, when daylight had expired,' the passage reads. 

A book featuring ancient Rome's history includes a passage that discusses the death of Jesus 

The Annals, written by the Roman historian Tacitus around 91AD, begins with the death of Emperor Augustus in 14AD and finishes with Nero's suicide 54 years later

As the Bible tells it, 2,021 years ago a child named Jesus was born in a little-known town on the edge of the Roman Empire and was killed 33 years later. 

While most scholars agree he was a real person, there is significant debate about his divinity.

They suggest Jesus' teachings about love and forgiveness and his brutal death led his followers to form a new faith that became Christianity.

While the manuscripts have long been known, the details in them recently surfaced online and have been welcomed by those of Christian faith. 

Tacitus, whose full name was Publius Cornelius Tacitus, lived from around 56AD to 120AD and was widely regarded to have been among the most important Roman historians.

While the manuscripts have long been known, the details in them recently surfaced online and have been welcomed by those of  

He relied on official records, Senate proceedings and firsthand accounts to compile The Annals, which is known for its critical and sometimes cynical perspective on Roman politics as he did not shy away from deemed emperors as corrupt and tyrants.

The Bible states that Jesus was arrested by Roman soldiers following the Last Supper and taken before Annas, the former high priest.

He was then tried by the current high priest, Caiaphas, in front of the Jewish supreme governing council and court where he was condemned for blasphemy.

Because the court and high priest did not the power to order a death sentence, Jesus was taken to Pilate.

Tacitus, whose full name was Publius Cornelius Tacitus, lived from around 56AD to 120AD and was widely regarded to have been among the most important Roman historians

Luke 23:16-24 states that Pilate was hesitant to sentence Jesus to death, saying 'nothing this man has done to deserve death. So I will have him whipped and let him go.'

However, the crowd erupted in anger, screaming 'Kill him.'

After shouting Jesus had not committed a crime three times, Pilate gave into the crowd's request and 'passed the sentence on Jesus that they were asking for.'

And Tacitus shared some of these details in The Annals.

The passage, however, focused more on the events that had followed, specifically Christ's followers moving into Rome .

The first persecution of Christians organized by the Roman government was under Nero who ruled about 21 to 24 years after Jesus' crucifixion. 

Nero used the Great Fire of Rome as part of his plan to stop the faith from spreading.

The Great Fire of Rome began on July 19, 64 AD, likely started in shops near the Circus Maximus, filled with flammable goods, and spread rapidly due to strong winds and the city's flammable, densely packed construction.

The fire raged for six days and seven nights, destroying or damaging 10 of Rome's 14 districts, according to researchers at Ohio State University.

And the blaze killed hundreds, left thousands homeless and devastated two-thirds of Rome. 

At the time, the Roman Empire was worshiping gods and adding more foreign deities into its religious system and some historians have speculated that the influx of Christians appeared as a threat.

Tacitus wrote how Nero falsely blamed Christians, setting his plan in motion.

'Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace,' the passage reads.

Those arrested were crucified in Nero's lavish gardens as to 'exhibit as as show in the circus.'

'He mingled with the people in the dress of a charioteer, or stood in a chariot, or as if he were a performer, or as a spectator of the cruel games,' Tacitus described.

'Hence, even for the present time, though the superstition had been checked for a while, it had broken out once more and gained ground, not only in Judea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome itself.'

Another historian, Flavius Josephus, wrote a book about Jewish history, featuring a passage that reads: 'Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man. For he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure.'

Flavius was a Jewish historian who later became a Roman citizen. He lived from 37 to around 100 AD.

Testimonium Flavianum is part of The Antiquities of the Jews, which features 20 books detailing the history of the region and Jews, starting with the Old Testament up to the Jewish War.

In Testimonium Flavianum, he writes: 'Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. But those who had become his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. 

'They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive. 

'Accordingly, he was perhaps the Messiah, concerning whom the prophets have recounted wonders.'

However, some scholars have dismissed the writings, saying it is a late Christian forgery.

Scientists are baffled after discovering a bizarre rock on Mars that's like NOTHING they've ever seen

• READ MORE: Scientists find organic molecules of 'unprecedented size' on Mars

By JONATHAN CHADWICK FOR MAILONLINE

They look like a dish of lentils, or a mass of spider eggs on a leaf. 

But whatever they are, these tiny little brown blobs, newly-found on the surface of Mars, have left scientists baffled.  

New images captured by NASA's Perseverance rover this month show an alien-like mass comprised of hundreds of the millimeter-sized spheres. 

However, scientists are unsure what 'quirk of geology' could've made the strange shapes, which are unlike anything they've seen before. 

Whatever they are, they look totally out of place compared with the surrounding rusty red Martian dust. 

They could hint at the rich volcanic and geologic history of the Red Planet, which is about 4.6 billion years old. 

Mars was once dotted with thousands of huge volcanoes which saw 'super eruptions', according to NASA – the most powerful type of volcanic blast there is. 

It follows stunning images of 'araneiforms' – dark cracks in the Martian soil, completely different to anything on Earth. 

This image from NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover reveals hundreds of strange, spherical-shaped objects comprising the rock. Perseverance acquired this image on March 11, 2025, or sol 1442 (Martian day 1,442 of its mission)

A rock that has no earthly business in a Martian crater: Perseverance acquired this image on March 13, 2025 - sol 1444, or Martian day 1,444 of the Mars 2020 mission

NASA's new images were found by Perseverance along the rim of the Jezero Crater, a 28-mile-wide region on Mars that may have once been flooded with water.

Alex Jones, a PhD student from Imperial College London's department of earth science, described the rock as 'strange' and 'shocking'. 

'The Perseverance Science Team were astonished by a strange rock comprised of hundreds of millimeter-sized spheres,' he said in a blog post on NASA's website.

'Placing these features in geologic context will be critical for understanding their origin, and determining their significance for the geological history of the Jezero Crater rim and beyond.' 

Technically, the mass is made up of 'spherules' – roughly spherical pebbles, ranging 0.01mm to 4mm in diameter (up to 0.15 inches). 

Some of these spherules are more elongate, elliptical shapes, while others have angular edges, perhaps representing broken spherule fragments. 

Others even have miniscule holes as if they'd been pricked with a pin – but how or why they show such variety is a mystery. 

On Earth, spherules are formed by rapid cooling of molten rock droplets during a volcanic eruption, or by the condensation of rock vaporized by a meteorite impact. 

The Jezero Crater is a 28-mile-wide region on Mars that may have once been flooded with water

The Red Planet (pictured)  is an average of 140 million miles (225 million km) away from Earth

'Each of these formation mechanisms would have vastly different implications for the evolution of these rocks, so the team is working hard to determine their context and origin,' Jones said. 

Dr Matthew Chojnacki, a planetary geologist at the Planetary Science Institute, said they could be 'frothy lava' that rapidly cooled might lead to such a deposit. 

'But it's hard to tell without chemistry or mineralogy, especially given it's a float rock (a piece of rock that is not part of the bedrock),' he told MailOnline. 

Dr Joel Davis, planetary geologist at Imperial College London, said they may have been formed by water circulating through the Martian ground billions of years ago.

'[This was] potentially when conditions were too cold for liquid water to exist on the surface,' Dr Davis told MailOnline. 

'Findings like this help geologists build a picture of how and when Mars might have changed, from a warm, wet planet 3-4 billion of years ago, to the cold, very dry environment we see today.' 

This isn’t the first time strange spheres have been spotted on Mars, which is an average of 140 million miles (225 million km) away from Earth. 

In 2004, the Opportunity rover – active on Mars from 2004-2018 – spotted 'Martian Blueberries' at Meridiani Planum, a large plain straddling the equator of Mars. These marble-sized objects, named for their similar appearance to the fruit, are remnants of small meteorites that broke up in the Martian atmosphere. 

A full scale test model of the Perseverance rover currently on Mars is displayed during a press conference for the Mars Sample Return mission in the Mars Yard at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California on April 11, 2023

In June last year, Perseverance spied popcorn-like textures in sedimentary rocks exposed in the Jezero crater inlet channel, Neretva Vallis

Then in 2012, the Curiosity rover, which is still exploring Mars after more than a decade, observed spherules in the rocks of Yellowknife Bay at Gale crater. 

Meanwhile, Perseverance spied 'popcorn-like textures' in sedimentary rocks exposed in the Jezero crater inlet channel, Neretva Vallis, last year. 

Perseverance acquired the two new images on March 11 and March 13 – on sol (Martian day) 1442 and 1444 of its mission. 

A Martian day (a 'sol') is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds long – so about 40 minutes longer than a day on Earth. 

Perseverance touched down on Mars' Jezero Crater – believed to be the home of a lush lakebed and river delta billions of years ago – in February 2021 after a nearly seven-month journey through space. 

It is tasked with seeking traces of fossilised microbial life from Mars' ancient past and to collect rock specimens for return to Earth through future missions to the Red Planet.

Robots are now as intelligent as HUMANS - as AI officially passes the famous 'Turing test'

• READ MORE: Apple's AI calls shocked grandmother a 'piece of s***'

By JONATHAN CHADWICK FOR MAILONLINE 

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots like ChatGPT have been designed to replicate human speech as closely as possible to improve the user experience. 

But as AI gets more and more sophisticated, it's becoming difficult to discern these computerised models from real people.

Now, scientists at University of California San Diego (UCSD) reveal that two of the leading chatbots have reached a major milestone.

Both GPT, which powers OpenAI's ChatGPT, and LLaMa, which is behind Meta AI on WhatsApp and Facebook, have passed the famous Turing test. 

Devised by British WWII codebreaker Alan Turing Alan Turing in 1950, the Turing test or 'imitation game' is a standard measure to test intelligence in a machine. 

An AI passes the test when a human cannot correctly tell the difference between a response from another human and a response from the AI. 

'The results constitute the first empirical evidence that any artificial system passes a standard three-party Turing test,' say the UCSD scientists. 

'If interrogators are not able to reliably distinguish between a human and a machine, then the machine is said to have passed.' 

Robots now have intelligence equivalent to humans, scientists say - as AI officially passes the famous Turing test (pictured: Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines)

GPT-4.5 has passed the famous 'Turing test' which was developed to see if computers have human-like intelligence 

Researchers used four AI models – GPT-4.5 (released in February), a previous iteration called GPT-4o, Meta's flagship model LLaMa, and a 1960s-era chat programme called ELIZA. 

The first three are 'large language models' (LLMs) – deep learning algorithms that can recognise and generate text based on knowledge gained from massive datasets. 

The experts recruited 126 undergraduate students from University of California San Diego and 158 people from online data pool Prolific. 

Participants had five-minute online conversations simultaneously with another human participant and one of the AIs – but they didn't know which was which and they had to judge which they thought was human. 

When it was prompted to adopt a humanlike persona, GPT-4.5 was judged to be the human 73 per cent of the time – more often than the real human participant was chosen.

Such a high percentage suggests people were better than chance at determining whether or not GPT-4.5 is a human or a machine. 

Meanwhile, Meta's LLaMa-3.1, when also prompted to adopt a humanlike persona, was judged to be the human 56 per cent of the time.

This was 'not significantly more or less often than the humans they were being compared to', the team point out – but still counts as a pass.  

Overview of the Turing Test: A human interrogator (C) asks an AI (A) and another human (B) questions and evaluates the responses. The interrogator does not know which is which. If the AI fools the interrogator into thinking its responses were generated by a human, it passes the  test

GPT-4.5: This image shows a participant (green dialogue) asking another human and GPT-4.5 questions - without knowing which was which. So, can you tell the difference?

LLaMa: This image shows a participant (green dialogue) asking another human and LLaMa questions. Can you tell the difference? Answers in box below

Turing Test - answers 

GPT-4.5

Witness A: GPT-4.5

Witness B: Human

LLaMa

Witness A: Human

Witness B: LLaMa 

Lastly, the baseline models (ELIZA and GPT-4o) achieved win rates significantly below chance – 23 per cent and 21 per cent respectively. 

Researchers also tried giving a more basic prompt to the models, without the detailed instructions telling them to adopt a human-like persona.

As anticipated, the AI models performed significantly worse in this condition – highlighting the importance of prompting the chatbots first. 

The team say their new study, published as a pre-print, is 'strong evidence' that OpenAI and Meta's bots have passed the Turing test.

'This should be evaluated as one among many other pieces of evidence for the kind of intelligence LLMs display,' lead author Cameron Jones said in an X thread. 

Jones admitted that AIs performed best when briefed beforehand to impersonate a human – but this doesn't mean GPT-4.5 and LLaMa haven't passed the Turing test. 

'Did LLMs really pass if they needed a prompt? It's a good question,' he said in the X thread. 

'Without any prompt, LLMs would fail for trivial reasons (like admitting to being AI) and they could easily be fine-tuned to behave as they do when prompted, so I do think it's fair to say that LLMs pass.' 

The best-performing AI was GPT-4.5 when it was briefed and told to adopt a persona, followed by Meta's LLaMa-3.1

In 1950, legendary British computer scientist Alan Turing (pictured) proposed the theory of training an AI to give it the intelligence of a child, and then provide the appropriate experiences to build up its intelligence to that of an adult

This is the first time that an AI has passed the test invented by Alan Turing in 1950, according to the new study. The life of this early computer pioneer and the invention of the Turing test was famously dramatised in The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch (pictured)

Last year, another study by the team found two predecessor models from OpenAI – ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4 – fooled participants in 50 per cent and 54 per cent of cases (also when told to adopt a human persona).

As GPT-4.5 has now scored 73 per cent, this new suggests that ChatGPT's models are getting better and better at impersonating humans.

It comes 75 years after Alan Turing introduced the ultimate test of computer intelligence in his seminal paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence. 

Turing imagined that a human participant would sit at a screen and speak with either a human or a computer through a text-only interface.

If the computer could not be distinguished from a human across a wide range of possible topics, Turing reasoned we would have to admit it was just as intelligent as a human.

A version of the experiment, which asks to you tell the difference between a human and an AI, can be accessed at turingtest.live. 

Meanwhile, the pre-print paper is published on online server arXiv and is currently under peer review. 

Who was Alan Turing? Pioneering scientist who helped crack Hitler's enigma machine only to be convicted for homosexuality after WWII

Alan Turing (pictured) was a British mathematician best known for his work cracking the enigma code during the Second World War

Alan Turing was a British mathematician born on June 23, 1912 In Maida Vale, London, to father Julius, a civil servant, and mother Ethel, the daughter of a railway engineer. 

His talents were recognised early on at school but he struggled with his teachers when he began boarding at Sherborne School aged 13 because he was too fixated on science. 

Turing continued to excel at maths but his time at Sherborne was also rocked by the death of his close friend Christopher Morcom from tuberculosis. Morcom was described as Turing's 'first love' and he remained close with his mother following his death, writing to her on Morcom's birthday each year. 

He then moved on to Cambridge where he studied at King's College, graduating with a first class degree in mathematics.  

During the Second World War, Turing was pivotal in cracking the Enigma codes used by the German military to encrypt their messages.

His work gave Allied leaders vital information about the movement and intentions of Hitler’s forces.

Historians credit the work of Turing and his fellow codebreakers at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire with shortening the war by up to two years, saving countless lives, and he was awarded an OBE in 1946 for his services. 

Turing is also widely seen as the father of computer science and artificial intelligence due to his groundbreaking work in mathematics in the 1930s.

He was able to prove a 'universal computing machine' would be able to perform equations if they were presented as an algorithm - and had a paper published on the subject in 1936 in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society Journal when he was aged just 23. 

But he was disgraced in 1952 when he was convicted for homosexual activity, which was illegal at the time and would not be decriminalised until 1967.

To avoid prison, Turing agreed to ‘chemical castration’ – hormonal treatment designed to reduce libido.

As well as physical and emotional damage, his conviction had led to the removal of his security clearance and meant he was no longer able to work for GCHQ, the successor to the Government Code and Cypher School, based at Bletchley Park. 

Turing was awarded an OBE in 1946 for his codebreaking work at Bletchley Park, pictured, which is credited with ending World War II two years early

Then In 1954, aged 41, he died of cyanide poisoning. An inquest recorded a verdict of suicide, although his mother and others maintained that his death was accidental. 

When his body was discovered, an apple laid half-eaten next to his bed. It was never tested for cyanide but it is speculated it was the source of the fatal dose. 

Some more peculiar theories suggest Turing was 'obsessed' with fairytale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and his death was inspired by the poisoned apple in the story. 

Following a public outcry over his treatment and conviction, the then Prime Minister Gordon Brown issued a public apology in 2009. 

He then received a posthumous Royal pardon in 2014, only the fourth to be issued since the end of the Second World War.

It was requested by Justice Secretary Chris Grayling, who described Turing as a national hero who fell foul of the law because of his sexuality.

An e-petition demanding a pardon for Turing had previously received 37,404 signatures. 

A 2017 law, that retroactively pardoned all men cautioned or convicted for homosexual acts under historical legislation, was named in his honour.

EXCLUSIVE - Another Egyptian Giza pyramid bombshell as new 'evidence' on underground city discovery that 'reshapes history'

• READ MORE: Scientists say they've discovered 'vast city' underneath pyramids

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

A new development in the mystery of a purported city beneath Egypt's Giza pyramids could, if proven true, fundamentally reshape our understanding of human history.

Italian researchers told DailyMail.com that not only are the shafts and chambers they found deep below the Khafre pyramid 38,000 years old, but also the Giza complex.

The Giza complex, consisting of the Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure pyramids, is widely believed to have been constructed around 4,500 years ago. 

They proposed a pre-existing civilization built the complex, but the group was destroyed around 12,000 years ago by a 'divine flood' triggered by an asteroid impact that left only the pyramids as the surviving 'megastructure.' 

Mei, who visited the site two weeks ago, highlighted physical evidence, saying: 'Some blocks near the Great Pyramid's entrance show clear signs of water erosion.'

'Only certain stones are affected, suggesting part of the pyramid was submerged in ancient times,' he added. 

Mei also noted how thick salt encrustations have been found inside the Great Pyramid, which he interprets as proof of the ocean once flooded the Giza Plateau. 

Dr Zahi Hawass, Egypt's former Minister of Antiquities, has consistently argued that the features some interpret as water erosion at the base are due to natural weathering processes and the salt originated from the limestones themselves.

Italian researchers told DailyMail.com that not only are the shafts and chambers deep below the Khafre pyramid 38,000 years old, but also the Giza complex

'The enduring enigma of the Giza pyramids stands as a powerful and perplexing testament to this possibility,' said Mei.

'Despite extensive research, the precise methods employed in their construction remain a subject of intense debate and speculation.' 

He added that the 'logistical and technical capabilities required to quarry, transport, and precisely position multi-ton granite blocks, some of considerable dimensions, from distant locations like the granite quarries nearly 500 miles from Giza, warrant deeper and serious scientific inquiry.'

Mei and his team, which includes Corrado Malanga from Italy's University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi with the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, took the world by storm last month when they discovered shafts and chambers more than 2,000 feet below the surface.

They also identified chamber-like structures more than 4,000 feet underground, which they speculated could be a long-lost city. 

The work has not yet been published in a journal where outside experts can review it. 

The discovery was made by collecting acoustics from deep in the ground, including seismic waves, noise from human activity and photon interactions, to map the newly found shafts and chambers that extend more than 2,000 feet below the surface.

Biondi said these waves were collected by radar, specifically by analyzing Doppler centroid abnormalities—shifts or distortions in frequency patterns used to detect underground structures or changes.

However, Hawass told The National: 'The claim of using radar inside the pyramid is false, and the techniques employed are neither scientifically approved nor validated.' 

Mei (center) and his team, which includes Corrado Malanga (right) and Filippo Biondi (left), took the world by storm last month when they discovered shafts and chambers more than 2,000 feet below the surface.

Researchers believe there are other structures reaching more than 4,000 feet below the surface. The scans captured structures extend along the northern side with a tuning fork shape

Now, the latest development from the Italian researchers is that the Giza pyramids also pre-date the oldest known man-made structure of its kind by tens of thousands of years, which is the Göbekli Tepe in Turkey.

The team based their claims on an early 2000s theory known as the Younger Dryas, which is not a widely accepted theory within the scientific community, and is often viewed as a fringe theory.

'Scientists have stated that there aren't clues of an impact on Earth,' Mei said.

'But the Earth is 80 percent ocean. So it's possible that the impact was in in the ocean, and water destroyed the preceding civilization that lived on Earth.'

He added that there are many signs across the world that suggest the existence of a preceding civilization, such as similar monuments in South America and China, 'even at Norfolk Island.' 

'But not only the monuments, even the myths are similar everywhere in South America, in Europe, Africa and the South Pacific. There are legends that are similar to the other myths all around the world,' said Mei.

Biondi explained that the pre-existing civilization in Egypt built the city first, then the shafts and then the pyramid on top, creating a 'megastructure.'

The salt encrustations inside the Great Pyramid, according to the team, were left behind from ocean water flowing into the structure.

Colonel Howard Vyse explored the pyramids' King’s Chamber in 1837, finding thick layers of salt on the limestone roof-stones in areas above the chamber.

The said the technology captured enormous chambers (pictured) in the middle of the shafts

The team claimed they discovered eight cylinder-shaped structures below the Khafre, which travel more than 2,100 feet below the pyramid's base. They identified spiral structures on the sides of the shafts

He described these as crystalline deposits, later identified as sodium chloride, forming delicate, flower-like patterns. 

W.M. Flinders Petrie also surveyed the Great pyramid in the 1880s, finding thick salt encrustations (up to half an inch) on the limestone walls of the Queen’s Chamber and the Horizontal Passage.

However, he did not report similar findings as Vyse inside the King’s Chamber. 

'The underground tunnels of Giza have exactly the same presence of salt on the walls,' Mei said.

'That means that something happened in the ancient past which we must better understand.'

Not only has the team used 'physical evidence' to support their claims, but also ancient Egyptian text that they said 'refers to an ancient civilization.'

Mei explained that the theory of the lost city is based on ancient Egyptian texts, specifically Chapter 149 of the Book of the Dead, which refers to the 14 residences of the city of the dead.

The shafts were said to be connected to larger, cubic structures. The team said there could be a hidden city below all three pyramids 

'It describes certain chambers and some inhabitants of the city. That is why we believe it could be Amenti, as described in ancient texts,' he said.

'Of course, we must be certain, but we believe this could be the case because the pyramids are located exactly where the texts say.

'The texts state that the pyramids were built on top of the city, sealing its entrance.' 

Biondi also noted that the unknown chambers more than 4,000 feet below the pyramid could be related to the legendary Hall of Records.

The Hall of Records is a long-standing myth in Egyptian lore, believed to be a hidden chamber beneath the Great Pyramid or the Sphinx, containing vast amounts of lost wisdom and knowledge about ancient civilizations.

However, there is no reliable evidence proving its existence.

Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar expert at the University of Denver, who specializes in archaeology and was not involved in the study, said the claims that the pyramids and structures were built 38,000 years ago are 'outlandish.' 

He added that at that time in human history people 'were mostly living in caves' 38,000 years ago.

'People did not start living in what we now call cities until about 9,000 years ago,' he said.

'There were a few large villages before that but those only go back a few thousand years from that time.'

However, Mei said: The notion that a civilization limited to rudimentary tools such as wooden mallets and copper chisels – implements seemingly inadequate for such monumental tasks in hard stone – could have achieved this level of engineering mastery demands a more robust and scientifically sound explanation than the often-cited, and frankly unconvincing, theory of water-soaked wooden wedges. 

'The archaeological community really ought to start seriously addressing these fundamental questions, perhaps by first gaining a more practical understanding of the actual techniques required to extract colossal granite blocks from quarries, before proclaiming hypotheses that completely lack technical and scientific grounding.'

Chilling declassified CIA file reveals aliens committed 'revenge massacre' after UFO was shot down

• READ MORE:  Aliens MUST exist beyond Earth, leading scientist insists

By CHRIS MELORE, ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

A bone-chilling document declassified by the CIA has exposed an alleged massacre by aliens from a crashed UFO who turned an entire military unit into stone.

According to the report, Soviet troops shot down a flying saucer hovering over the Soviet military unit in Siberia roughly 35 years ago, and what happened next was truly terrifying.

In the document, summarizing a 250-page top secret file acquired by US intelligence agents, eyewitnesses said five aliens climbed out of their wrecked craft, combined themselves into one creature, exploded in a burst of intense energy, and turned 23 soldiers into solid rock.

One CIA official referred to the shocking battle as 'a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one's blood freeze.' 

The agency added that the 'extremely menacing case' proved the aliens who visited Earth possessed weapons and technology far beyond the US government's 'assumptions' - suggesting they were already aware of the aliens' existence.

The unearthed document, declassified in 2000, was recently the topic of the AI or Evil podcast, where host Josh Hooper revealed that two of the soldiers at the UFO crash site actually survived the encounter.

However, the 23 'petrified soldiers' could not be saved. Their remains and the debris from the spacecraft were reportedly moved to a secret research base near Moscow.

An even more concerning detail of the CIA file is the description of the aliens reportedly involved in this massacre, who have been mentioned in UFO reports and sightings for nearly 80 years.

A declassified CIA document revealed details of an alleged battle between Soviet forces and an alien spacecraft, which ended with 23 soldiers dead

During a training mission in Siberia, the Soviet military reportedly shot down a low-flying UFO carrying at least 5 aliens who then turned the soldiers into stone

The subject of the document states: 'Paper reports alleged evidence on mishap involving UFO.'

This extraordinary tale was also published in the Ukrainian newspaper Holos Ukrayiny on March 27, 1993.

The incident, which a Canadian newspaper believed took place between 1989 and 1990, was only uncovered by the CIA after the fall of the Soviet Union and its 'secret police' organization, the KGB. 

The CIA document explained that the alleged alien craft was flying low and quietly above the Soviet unit while they were engaged in a training mission.

Officials wrote that 'for unknown reasons' the Soviets launched a surface-to-air missile at the UFO, sending it crashing to the Earth near the unit's position.

According to the only two soldiers who survived, when the soldiers approached the craft, the five aliens freed themselves of the debris and came close together near the wreck.

Moments later, the soldiers said the group of aliens 'merged into a single object that acquired a spherical shape.' In simpler language, the aliens beings somehow morphed into a giant ball.

That's when the new ball-like alien began to buzz and hiss before igniting into a brilliant white light.

The description from the CIA report matches the decades-long description of an alleged race of beings UFO researchers call 'the Greys'

With the soldiers still looking on, the ball of light erupted like a giant flare of energy, turning 23 of the 25 Soviets into 'stone poles.'

The report stated that the only reason two of the men survived was because they were standing in a shaded area at the time of the alien energy blast.

Testing of the soldier's bodies showed the alien flare had somehow changed living tissue into a substance that closely resembles limestone.

The CIA document added that 'a source of energy that is still unknown to Earthlings' was responsible for the blast which fatally transformed the Soviets.

Even in 2025, the science behind such a shocking transformation is still difficult to explain medically and technologically.

According to the Journal of Applied Physics, it is possible to use high-energy radiation or electromagnetic pulses to change normal matter into plasma - a form that's not a liquid, solid, or gas.

In the report, the CIA described the aliens as short humanoids with 'large heads and large black eyes.'

The account matches who UFO researchers, alleged alien abductees, and others who believe in alien life refer to as a race called 'the Greys.'

Their features have become the classic image the public thinks of when discussing aliens from outer space - a small, skinny, grey-skinned alien, with an oversized head and large black eyes with no iris.

The Greys would eventually become linked to the infamous Roswell Incident of 1947, as CIA documents would later suggest that alien beings were pulled from the alleged wreck in New Mexico.

These strange creatures would also go on to represent alien life in countless science fiction shows and movies, including Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Despite their prominent place in extraterrestrial research, this disturbing incident appears to be the first time humans have alleged that these beings could have accomplished such terrifying feats.

The ruins that could prove the Bible was TRUE: Bombshell find at 'Armageddon' vindicates the holy book's account, archaeologists claim

• READ MORE: New discovery at site of Jesus' resurrection corroborates the Bible

By MICHAEL HAVIS

A grisly Bible story about an ancestor of Jesus may be true, jaw-dropping new evidence from Armageddon suggests.

In the Book of Revelation, Armageddon is where the apocalyptic final clash between good and evil takes place before a new world is born.

Today known as Tel Megiddo, the site is also where King Josiah, an ancestor of Jesus, was slain by the Egyptian pharaoh, Necho II, according to the Bible.

Now the first archaeological evidence has been found to support the tale, after excavations revealed proof of an Egyptian presence at the site during Josiah's time.

Assaf Kleiman of Ben Gurion University, co-author of a new study about the discoveries, said the findings were a 'big surprise' for archaeologists.

He added: 'Our recent excavations near the administrative quarter of Megiddo revealed the remains of a large structure dated to the late seventh century BC.

'Within this building, we have found high quantities of crude and straw-tempered pottery vessels imported from Egypt, as well as a few East Greek vessels.

'The exposure of these findings was a big surprise for our team, as these were not unearthed thus far at Megiddo.'

Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that a grisly story from the Bible concerning Jesus's ancestor may be true. New discoveries at Armageddon, known today as Tel Megiddo (pictured), point to the reality of a biblical battle 

In the Book of Revelation, Armageddon is where the apocalyptic final clash between good and evil takes place before a new world is born. The name 'Armageddon' comes from the Hebrew word 'Har Megiddo' meaning 'hill of Megiddo'

The Greek vessels offer a tantalising clue, archaeologists believe.

Dr Kleiman's co-author, Israel Finkelstein of the University of Haifa and Tel Aviv University, said: 'The Greek pottery is usually considered as representing Greek mercenaries.

'From sources such as Herodotus and the Assyrian King, Ashurbanipal, we know that Greeks from Anatolia served as mercenaries in the Egyptian army.

'This scenario may be linked to the biblical account about the killing of King Josiah of Judah by Pharaoh Necho at Megiddo in 609 BC.'

Josiah, who's been called the last good king of Judah, is described as a religious reformer in the Bible, ending the worship of any god but Yahweh.

He's also listed as a paternal ancestor of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew.

The Old Testament gives varied accounts of his death.

Dr Finkelstein said: 'The Bible recounts the death of Josiah at Megiddo in two places.

The city of Tel Megiddo (pictured) is where King Josiah, an ancestor of Jesus, was slain by the Egyptian pharaoh, Necho II, according to the Bible.

Archaeologists have now found Greek pottery which might have been used by Greek mercenaries in Necho's army 

'He's killed by Necho during an encounter at Megiddo in the Book of Kings, and killed in a battle with the Egyptians in the Book of Chronicles.

'Kings gives close to "real time" evidence while Chronicles represents centuries-later thoughts.

'On this background, the new evidence for an Egyptian garrison, possibly with Greek mercenaries, at Megiddo in the late seventh century BC, may provide the background to the event.

'Moreover, in two places in prophetic works, Ezekiel and Jeremiah, the Bible hints that west Anatolians – Lydians – were involved in the killing of Josiah.'

The site's Hebrew name, Har Megiddo – meaning Mount Megiddo – was rendered as Harmagedon in Greek, leading to the modern name, Armageddon.

Why Josiah was killed there is debated.

Some say he and his army blocked the path of Necho II, who was en route to Syria with his troops.

Others say he was summoned as a vassal and executed after failing to pay sufficient tribute to Egypt.

The discovery of pottery fragments in the area suggests that Necho's military forces may have been in the area of Tel Megiddo, or Armageddon, during the time described by the Bible 

Most of the city of Megiddo (pictured) has already been excavated, but this new discovery suggests there could be truth to the biblical account of the battle 

It's even been suggested that Josiah's death there is the reason for its apocalyptic reputation.

While this new evidence does not tell us much about the details of Josiah's death, it does point to Necho's military presence at Armageddon around that time.

'It would make sense to place the [final] battle out there due to Israel's history of that location,' argues Hope Bolinger at Christianity.com.

Dr Kleiman, Dr Finkelstein, and their colleagues Matthew Adams and Alexander Fantalkin published their study in the Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament.

This Billionaire Saw Interdimensional Beings and Claims G-LOC Unlocks Out-of-Body Consciousness

This billionaire is convinced that non-human intelligent life exists among us and that such entities may exist in other dimensions. He claims that G-LOC makes our consciousness leave the body, allowing us to see beyond the room while being outside the body.

Robert Bigelow has long been fascinated by supernatural phenomena and has invested millions in researching the mystery behind consciousness, UAPs, and extraterrestrials. He is well-known in the space industry. His company makes special inflatable space modules. Some of these modules have been tested on the International Space Station.

He believes that aliens are already here on Earth. In an interview with CBS in 2017, he said he was “absolutely convinced” of their presence. He explained that there has always been an extraterrestrial (ET) presence among humans. He also said he had spent millions of dollars researching this topic. According to him, people don’t need to travel far to find aliens because they are already here. However, when asked for details about his own experiences, he refused to share them.

Bigelow had already been funding various individual UFO researchers, but in 1995, he decided to set up his own research organization, the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS). He invited several luminaries of UFO research to participate, including Hal Puthoff, Jacques Vallée, and John Mack. Not simply a UFO organization, NIDS also probed the question of whether there is life after death. Its hotline (and later website) would take your reports of mysterious black flying triangles, but it also solicited reports of cattle mutilations and visits from “entities”—essentially ghosts.

In 1996, NIDS started investigating Skinwalker Ranch. This was a cattle ranch owned by the Sherman family, who had reported strange events like UFO sightings, animals being mysteriously harmed, and visits from unknown beings. Bigelow found these stories interesting, so he bought the ranch and set up a team of researchers to study it.

For the first year, nothing unusual happened. However, later reports suggested that something strange did occur, which caught the attention of a U.S. senator named Harry Reid.

Senator Reid had been interested in UFOs for a long time. A journalist told him about NIDS, and since Reid already knew Bigelow, he got involved. Reid even attended an NIDS meeting where experts discussed UFOs and other unexplained events. He became very interested in the topic.

Over the years, Reid continued to follow UFO research, even though his staff thought it might make him look bad. In 2007, Bigelow introduced Reid to James Lacatski, a scientist working for the U.S. government. Lacatski had read a book called Hunt for the Skinwalker, which described strange things happening at the ranch, like UFOs, ghostly lights, and mysterious creatures. He was so fascinated that he shared the book with others in the government.

Lacatski visited Skinwalker Ranch himself. During one visit, he claimed to have seen something floating in the kitchen—an object that looked like the cover of a music album called Tubular Bells. After this experience, he became convinced that the strange events at the ranch needed further investigation.

However, Lacatski knew that the Pentagon would not officially support an investigation into something like a haunted ranch. So, he and some of his colleagues created a secret program called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP) to study these unusual events without drawing attention.

Bigelow, who was also involved in space technology, helped Lacatski connect with a U.S. senator named Harry Reid. Reid then brought in two other senators, Ted Stevens and Daniel Inouye. Together, they convinced the government to give them $22 million to fund the secret program. Publicly, the program was supposed to study new aerospace technology, but in reality, it was investigating UFOs and supernatural events.

The program was designed to look like a regular research project about flight technology and energy. Nowhere in the public documents did it mention UFOs or paranormal activity, except for a vague reference to “human effects.” In truth, the project was set up to study UFOs and unexplained events at a place called Skinwalker Ranch, which was known for strange occurrences.

Only one organization applied to be part of this program—Bigelow’s own company, BAASS (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies). His company replaced a previous group, NIDS, and openly stated that they would research UFOs. They conducted investigations both at their headquarters in Las Vegas and at Skinwalker Ranch.

Some of the government money was also given to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a group that collects reports of UFO sightings. The money was used to improve MUFON’s database and investigations. BAASS also built its own database for UFO research and spent time studying supernatural activity at Skinwalker Ranch. In addition to investigating events at the ranch, they looked into other UFO cases, including the famous 2004 “Tic Tac” UFO incident, where a Navy pilot recorded a mysterious flying object off the coast of California.

In his interview with Bigelow, award-winning journalist George Knapp asked if the entities at Skinwalker Ranch would be investigated through the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (which he founded in 2020 after his wife passed away). Besides, he wondered that if they are among us, can they also be considered alien? Bigelow said: “Well, if you if you follow the literature and pay attention to a lot of other kinds of sources, they absolutely are.”

• This Clinically Dead Man Claims Encounter with Otherworldly Dimension and Beings Resembling ‘Communion’ Aliens

Further, Bigelow shared his personal experiences and losses that prompted his interest in life after death, as well as UFOs. He talked about possible links between consciousness research and UFOs. He also talked about the risks of trying to establish communications with the unknown.

“That’s been mainly what I’ve been doing except for the skinwalker ranch thing for 20 years as the space world has been huge in my life to pursue the legitimate parochial kind of you know using fire engines rockets to get you there. We didn’t expect anything like this to happen and so there this is different. This is the holy grail and is different than the second holy grail. If the second one is ‘Beings’ (E.T.), then the first one: Is there any part of your consciousness that survives your bodily death? That’s a big deal. That’s a huge story. That’s gigantic.”

“Be a little careful about what you wish for. So on the face of it, communication sounds great and that by the way has been tried forever ever since the oracle of Delphi. I mean you can go back thousands of years and that’s been attempted. So It’s not now you know the last 100 years through electronics and using some kind of electrical apparatus to try to have some kind of communications. And you know communication can be at all different kinds of levels. There might be communication that just causes you an awareness.”

Interdimensional Forces!

Knapp asked Bigelow what triggered his curiosity about UFOs, possibly it was after Bob Lazar’s story came out. Mr. Bigelow replied that he was already into UFO research. He was looking at UFO stories worldwide to understand what they actually were.

In 1992, he started the Bigelow Foundation with Bob Lazar, who worked on reverse-engineering recovered extraterrestrial craft at Area-51. Bigelow also backed Dr. John E. Mack, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard who wrote two popular books about his work with people who told him they had been abducted by aliens, and Budd Hopkins, an artist who became an abduction investigator and also wrote popular books.

Mr. Bigelow’s investigative team, headed by Colm Kelleher, the institute’s scientific administrator and biochemist, documented their own paranormal events, according to a 2005 book “Hunt for the Skinwalker,” by Dr. Kelleher and Mr. Knapp.

Mr. Bigelow said he saw “interdimensional” forces at play through portals at certain paranormal hot spots like Skinwalker. But he also said he had frequently visited the ranch without experiencing the kind of chilling events others reported, as if some intelligence were selecting the people to act upon. “I slept like a log every single night,” he said. And no human was physically harmed, but he said he and other visitors often carried strange things home, like a sulfurous stink in a certain part of his house. His wife felt the presence of a faceless creature pressing down on her side of bed.

Bigelow amassed his fortune through the hotel chain Budget Suites of America and used this money to fund his UFO study. In an interview with The Associated Press, he said that UFOs are “under our noses” and wondered why news organizations had not extensively covered UFO sightings.

Some people believe that aliens could be living here as hybrids or in a way that makes them look like normal humans. Others believe that aliens have only sent technology, such as spacecraft, to Earth.

When George Knapp asked Bigelow about his comment on the 2017 interview, he said:

“There are different ways to go at this. So one is from a hardware standpoint. The other one is from the presence standpoint, ET presence. And, you know, a lot of people say, well, whether they’re, you know, that they can be among the population, whether they’re hybrids, or there’s some other kind of, really look alike, you know, kind of thing. But so, so you can look at it in different kinds of ways. And, and so, I know of a really good high quality researcher who has fantastic academic credentials and background. And he would be predisposed to the latter, saying that, yeah, it could be among us, you know, but he’s probably on the more extreme, he’s definitely on the more extreme. Others would say, well, we’re safe in saying that there’s hardware, you know, so that’s among us, and hardware kind of context.”

In this interview, Bigelow talks about out-of-body experiences. These are situations where a person feels like they have left their physical body and can see and hear things from a different point of view. He learned about this from an Air Force general who had one of these experiences during a special type of training.

The training involved using a machine that spins very fast, creating a strong force called G-force. This force can make a person pass out. The general said that during one of these training sessions, after doing it twelve times, he suddenly found himself floating outside his body. He could see himself walking and even hear conversations in other rooms that he should not have been able to hear.

As the experience continued, he moved down a hallway and into his office. He passed through walls and watched himself from above. The experience ended when his physical body sat in a chair, and at that moment, his consciousness returned to his body. This was not a near-death experience but something caused by the training.

“A related event occurs to modern fighter pilots when they experience intense G forces during extreme combat maneuvers. It has been reported that pilots will lose consciousness during maximum G forces and undergo a brief out-of-body state of consciousness. The U.S. military has conducted extensive research into this potentially dangerous phenomenon and has officially named the experience “G-LOC.” The popular television show Sightings did an entire segment on G-LOC-induced OBEs that was titled “Simulated Out-of-Body Experiences.” Several U.S. military pilots participated in an experiment where G-LOC was created in a NASA centrifuge. Each interviewed pilot reported that he had passed out and then described a detailed out-of-body state of consciousness.”

✈️ Mysterious Orb Spotted Near Helsinki Airport – UFO Sighting Leaves Passenger and Pilot Baffled

Date of Sighting: April 3, 2024
Time: 8:42 PM (Just before sunset)
Location: Helsinki Airport airspace, Finland
Flight: ATR-72, FIN27H, en route from Tallinn, Estonia to Helsinki

If you’re into UFO sightings, here’s one you won’t want to miss.

On the evening of April 3rd, 2024, a passenger flying into Helsinki Airport witnessed something truly unexplainable: a bright, stationary orb hovering in the sky just a mile or two from their plane. What makes this case stand out is not just the visual clarity—it was also seen with the naked eye and caught on video, which you can watch below.

The witness, who was seated by the window during descent, spotted a glowing white orb hovering in the sky at a low altitude. The object did not blink or move like a drone or aircraft. Instead, it hovered perfectly still as the plane and landscape beneath shifted, making its stationary position even more mysterious.

“It wasn’t moving at all even though our plane and the buildings below were clearly in motion. It just hovered, glowing white to amber, and then vanished without a trace.”

👁️ What the Video Shows

In the video, the orb can be seen:

• Hovering above the skyline, visibly in front of buildings (ruling out stars or planets).
• Not emitting any blinking navigation lights like a commercial drone or aircraft.
• Changing in shape and intensity, at one point appearing flame-like or double-lobed.
• Disappearing briefly behind the wing, then reappearing in the exact same spot before vanishing entirely.

✈️ Even the Pilot Was Stumped

The witness asked a pilot about the encounter after landing—and even the pilot had no idea what it could have been. Considering the strict airspace regulations near airports, any unidentified object without FAA lights flying that close to a runway would be a serious safety breach… unless it wasn’t one of ours.

☑️ What It Definitely Wasn’t:

• Not a star or planet (it was clearly in front of buildings and very close).
• Not a plane or drone (no strobes, no sound, no movement).
• Not a reflection (visible with the naked eye, confirmed on camera).
• Not weather-related (clear skies, no lightning or cloud interference).

🔍 Why This UFO Sighting Matters

This is one of those rare UFO sightings where the conditions were nearly perfect:

• Clear skies
• Just before sunset, optimal for spotting unusual lights
• Verified proximity to physical structures
• Video evidence
• Eyewitness confirmation from inside a descending aircraft

If you’re tracking credible UFO sightings near airports, this one deserves attention. Whether it was an advanced drone, a natural phenomenon, or something entirely unknown, it challenges our understanding of what’s flying in our skies—especially so close to commercial airspace.

📽️ Watch the UFO Sighting Footage

Be sure to check out the original video of the UFO near Helsinki Airport below and judge for yourself:

🛸 Have You Seen Something Similar?

The witness mentioned they’re especially interested in hearing from others who may have seen orbs near airports or during dusk hours. Have you encountered something like this during a flight?

Drop a comment or reach out—we’d love to collect more eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings like this one.

This Helsinki orb sighting joins a growing list of credible UFO sightings around the world—backed by video evidence, flight data, and eyewitness reports. It’s not conclusive proof of extraterrestrial activity, but it certainly adds another piece to the mystery puzzle.

If you’re fascinated by UFO phenomena, keep your eyes on the skies—and your phone camera ready.

UFOs in Triangle Formation Over Bristol Connecticut, April 3, 2025, UAP Drone Sighting News.

Date of sighting: April 3, 2025

Location of sighting: Bristol, Connecticut, USA

Source: Email report

 

Watch as several glowing orange red lights are moving in a triangle formation, military formation. Alien craft often take a strange stance when flying around US military bases. The UFOs are on the move and clearly want to be seen. As I said before, a big reveal is come from aliens very soon in the coming 6 months. They are no longer waiting for permission from the world learnings but instead, taking things into their own hands.

Orb Watches Plane Over Helsinki, Finland April 3, 2025 UFO UAP Sighting News.

Date of sighting: April 3, 2025

Location of sighting: Helsinki, Finland

Source: Email report

 

Watch this cloud orb come out and start following the plane in broad daylight. This thing wants to be seen. The orb is moving at the same speed as the plane which is close to 350-450 mph, so that rules out balloon or weather balloon. I think the drones people see around the world with three or four lights...are actually three or four orbs flying in unison together appearing like one craft but really each light is a separate alien craft. 

Scott C. Waring 

 

Eyewitness states: 

As the plane was descending into Helsinki Airport right before sunset, I noticed a bright, stationary white orb in the sky. It wasn’t moving at all even though our plane and the buildings below were clearly in motion. It was just hovering, maybe 1–2 miles away from us at most, and definitely not far in the distance like a star or planet. I started filming it, and it eventually disappeared after briefly moving behind the wing. It reappeared again and then vanished entirely without a trace.

NASA's Curiosity rover made a compelling find on Mars' irradiated surface.

The car-sized robot's molecule-sleuthing instrument, called Sample Analysis at Mars, or SAM, identified the longest-ever-found organic compounds on Mars. They could be fragments of "fatty acids," a building block of earthly life that can compose cell membranes. While the discovery in Martian mudstone isn't nearly definitive proof of past life on Mars — these fatty acids can also be formed via non-biological processes — it does show that such potential evidence can be preserved in Mars' extremely harsh surface environs.

It also underscores that NASA's nuclear-powered rovers have done their job — identifying potential evidence of life — and that the samples must now be deeply scrutinized by scientists on Earth.

“We are ready to take the next big step and bring Mars samples home to our labs to settle the debate about life on Mars,” Daniel Glavin, the senior scientist for sample return at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a statement.

The debate about Martian life, however, won't be settled anytime soon. NASA's Mars Sample Return mission is in limbo as the space agency seeks out cheaper and simpler ways to transport samples (collected by Curiosity's sibling robot, Perseverance) in sealed, cigar-sized titanium tubes. Plans won't be finalized until 2026, and it's unlikely the samples will be returned to Earth before the mid-2030s.

These newly identified chains of organic molecules, which are based on carbon similar to much of life on Earth, certainly add more weight to the scientific merit behind the ambitious sample return endeavor. Such a journey to Mars and back may still cost some $6 to $8 billion. Specifically, the rock samples assessed by the Curiosity rover contain decane, undecane, and dodecane, which are composed of long chains of carbon atoms.

The research was published in the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Adding to the samples' intrigue is where they were found. Curiosity drilled the rock from a region in the expansive Gale Crater called "Yellowknife Bay," which is an ancient, dried-up lakebed. On Earth, we know that life thrives in such watery, often nutrient-rich environs. Could it have done so on Mars, too?

What's more, each of the fatty acids detected in the rover's microwave-sized Sample Analysis at Mars instrument is a chain of carbons between 11 to 13 long. "Notably, non-biological processes typically make shorter fatty acids, with less than 12 carbons," NASA noted.

This all adds up to a significant amount of scientific intrigue — but no clear answers. Today, Mars is 1,000 times drier than the driest desert on Earth. But amid a warmer, hospitable climate — which hosted expansive lakes, long shorelines, and great Martian oceans — life might have found a way billions of years ago.

Hardy Martian life could have also once thrived well beyond the reach of NASA's rovers, deep in the Red Planet's subsurface, protected from radiation and climate extremes. But that's another story waiting to be written by another, future robot.

NASA's most wanted: The 5 most dangerous asteroids to Earth

Elon Musk May Be Draining The Black Budget...And That’s a Big Problem For Alien Tech Programs, UFO Sighting News.

This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while now. Elon Musk...yes, that Elon Musk, the face of SpaceX and Tesla...may be doing something he doesn't even realize: taking money away from the U.S. black budget. And if you know anything about how the black budget works, you’ll understand how dangerous that could be.

Let’s be real. The black budget isn’t just for high tech fighter jets and spy satellites. It funds everything the U.S. doesn’t want the public to know about: back engineered alien tech, secret underground bases, reverse engineered craft from crash sites...like Roswell, like the one in South Africa, and others we’ve never even heard about. And yeah, off world operations.

Let’s talk about that.

Back in 2001, UK hacker Gary McKinnon broke into NASA and U.S. military systems and found files labeled "non-terrestrial officers" and references to “fleet-to-fleet transfers.” Think about that. A fleet. Not a ship. A fleet! He said he found the names of ships that aren’t in any public registry. That sounds like a U.S. military space program completely off the books...probably funded by, you guessed it, the black budget.

Now, when Elon Musk gets billions in contracts to launch satellites or resupply the ISS, where is that money coming from? A huge chunk of it may be siphoned directly from top-secret programs. Which ones? We don't know, because they don't officially exist.

 But here’s where it gets wild...some of these programs are rumored to operate independently of the U.S. government. We're talking about rogue groups, possibly linked to the so called Men in Black. But these guys don’t go by names, ranks, or any public agency. They answer to no one. They protect alien tech and information, and some believe they’re even hybrid or entirely non human.

So what happens if Musk takes too much attention...and too much funding? Those rogue ops could go dark or lose control over the advanced tech they've been hiding for decades. Or worse, they retaliate and go after Musk. Musk could unknowingly be poking a hornet’s nest that stretches beyond Earth. Maybe that's why he keeps saying he's never seen aliens...because he's being watched and he knows it.

I’m not saying Musk is the bad guy here. But when you tamper with things buried this deep down the rabbit hole, someone notices. Someone always does.

UAP DEFINITIE EN BETEKENIS: Understanding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

Ongeïdentificeerde Luchtverschijnselen (UAP's) Een still uit een video waarop een onbekend object te zien is, vastgelegd door een vliegtuig van de Amerikaanse marine.

Inleiding

In de afgelopen decennia hebben onopgeloste luchtverschijnselen zowel de nieuwsgierigheid als de scepticisme van wetenschappers, overheid en het grote publiek gewekt. Wat ooit bekend stond als UFO's (Unidentified Flying Objects) heeft zich ontwikkeld tot de bredere term UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). Dit document biedt een analytische verkenning van deze evolutie, de opkomst van de UAP-era en de voortdurende zoektocht naar antwoorden op deze intrigerende verschijnselen.

De Evolutie van UFO naar UAP

De term UFO werd voor het eerst populair in de jaren vijftig, toen een golf van waarnemingen van ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten de media en het publiek in een greep hield. In die tijd werden UFO's vaak geassocieerd met buitenaards leven en samenzweringstheorieën. De meeste waarnemingen konden echter niet worden verklaard en leidden tot een toenemend aantal speculaties.

In de loop der jaren is de terminologie veranderd en is de term UAP in zwang geraakt. De verschuiving van UFO naar UAP weerspiegelt een bredere en meer neutrale benadering van deze fenomenen. UAP omvat niet alleen vliegende objecten, maar ook andere ongeïdentificeerde luchtverschijnselen zoals lichtflitsen en ongebruikelijke bewegingen. Deze evolutie is mede gestimuleerd door een groeiende behoefte aan wetenschappelijke objectiviteit en een grotere bereidheid binnen overheidsinstanties om dergelijke fenomenen serieus te onderzoeken.

Wetenschappelijke en culturele impact

De evolutie van UFO naar UAP heeft niet alleen invloed gehad op de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap, maar ook op de popcultuur. Films, boeken en documentaires hebben bijgedragen aan de fascinatie voor deze fenomenen. De term UAP heeft in deze context geholpen om de discussie te verbreden en minder te focussen op het idee van buitenaardse wezens, wat het mogelijk maakt om de fenomenen vanuit een wetenschappelijker perspectief te benaderen.

De UAP Era Begint

De recente toename van rapporten en studies over onverklaarde luchfenomenen (UAP's) heeft geleid tot de zogenaamde UAP-era. Deze fase, die de wereldwijde belangstelling voor het onderwerp heeft aangewakkerd, werd in gang gezet door de vrijgave van videomateriaal door de Amerikaanse marine in 2017. Dit materiaal bevatte beelden waarop verschillende UAP's werden vastgelegd door gevechtsvliegtuigen. De beelden toonden objecten die zich met onverklaarbare snelheid en wendbaarheid bewogen, wat de aandacht trok van zowel wetenschappers als beleidsmakers. De impact van deze onthullingen heeft geleid tot een hernieuwde en serieuze discussie over de aard van deze fenomenen en hun mogelijke implicaties voor de mensheid.

Belangrijke publicaties en onderzoeken

In 2020 en 2021 publiceerde de Amerikaanse regering verschillende rapporten over UAP's, waaronder een rapport van de Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). Deze rapporten gaven een overzicht van de waarnemingen die door verschillende militaire en civiele instanties waren gedaan. Ze benadrukten de noodzaak voor verder onderzoek naar deze fenomenen. Het rapport concludeerde dat de meeste waarnemingen niet konden worden verklaard, maar dat ze ook niet noodzakelijkerwijs bewijs voor buitenaards leven waren. Dit leidde tot een groeiende bezorgdheid over nationale veiligheid en de noodzaak om te begrijpen wat deze objecten waren en waar ze vandaan kwamen.

De UAP-era heeft geleid tot de oprichting van speciale onderzoekscommissies binnen de overheid, zoals de UAP Task Force. Deze instanties hebben als doel de fenomenen verder te bestuderen en te begrijpen, evenals de mogelijke implicaties voor de nationale veiligheid. De oprichting van deze taskforces is een belangrijke stap, omdat het aangeeft dat de overheid serieus genomen wil worden in het onderzoeken van deze mysterieuze waarnemingen, en dat er een bereidheid is om informatie te delen met het publiek.

De rol van technologie

Technologische vooruitgang heeft ook een belangrijke rol gespeeld in de UAP-era. Verbeterde radarsystemen, infraroodcamera's en andere sensortechnologieën hebben het mogelijk gemaakt om UAP's nauwkeuriger te detecteren en te analyseren. Dit heeft geleid tot een groeiend aantal waarnemingen en een grotere hoeveelheid data die kan worden bestudeerd. De ontwikkeling van nieuwe technologieën heeft niet alleen de detectie verbeterd, maar ook de mogelijkheid om deze objecten te volgen en hun gedrag te analyseren.

Bovendien hebben sociale media en de opkomst van smartphones het voor getuigen gemakkelijker gemaakt om hun ervaringen vast te leggen en te delen. Dit heeft geleid tot een grotere verzameling van getuigenissen en video-opnamen, die onderzoekers kunnen gebruiken om patronen te identificeren en meer inzicht te krijgen in de aard van UAP's. Wetenschappers en onderzoekers zijn nu beter uitgerust dan ooit om deze fenomenen te bestuderen, wat de kans vergroot dat we in de toekomst meer te weten komen over wat deze objecten zijn en waar ze vandaan komen.

UFO's, UAP's en de Quest for Answers

De zoektocht naar antwoorden op de mysteries rondom UAP's is een multidisciplinaire inspanning die wetenschappers, ingenieurs, militaire analisten en zelfs filosofen omvat. Er zijn verschillende benaderingen en theorieën ontwikkeld om deze fenomenen te begrijpen. De diversiteit aan disciplines die betrokken zijn bij het onderzoek naar UAP's weerspiegelt de complexiteit van het onderwerp en de verschillende perspectieven die nodig zijn om het volledig te begrijpen.

Wetenschappelijke benaderingen

Wetenschappelijke benaderingen omvatten het gebruik van statistische analyses om patronen in waarnemingen te identificeren, evenals het ontwikkelen van hypotheses over de aard van UAP's. Sommige wetenschappers pleiten voor het toepassen van de methodologie van de natuurwetenschappen om UAP's te onderzoeken, terwijl anderen pleiten voor een meer interdisciplinaire aanpak die ook sociale en culturele aspecten in overweging neemt. Dit betekent dat onderzoekers niet alleen naar de technische aspecten van UAP's kijken, maar ook naar hoe deze fenomenen in de context van de menselijke ervaring passen.

Een belangrijk aspect van de wetenschappelijke benadering is de noodzaak om objectieve gegevens te verzamelen en te analyseren. Dit kan inhouden dat onderzoekers gebruikmaken van geavanceerde algoritmen en kunstmatige intelligentie om grote hoeveelheden data te verwerken en patronen te identificeren die anders misschien over het hoofd worden gezien. Daarnaast is er ook een groeiende belangstelling voor het begrip van de psychologische impact van UAP-waarnemingen op individuen en gemeenschappen, wat kan bijdragen aan een breder begrip van hoe deze fenomenen worden waargenomen en geïnterpreteerd.

Filosofische en ethische overwegingen

De zoektocht naar antwoorden op UAP's roept ook belangrijke filosofische en ethische vragen op. Wat betekent het voor de mensheid als we bewijs van buitenaards leven zouden vinden? Hoe zouden religies reageren op dergelijke ontdekkingen? De implicaties zijn enorm en vereisen een zorgvuldige overweging. Deze vragen zijn niet alleen academisch van aard; ze raken aan de kern van ons begrip van onszelf en onze plek in het universum.

Filosofen en ethici zijn begonnen na te denken over de gevolgen van het ontdekken van buitenaards leven of technologie. Zou dit onze morele en ethische kaders veranderen? Hoe zouden we moeten reageren op een mogelijk contact met een andere intelligentie? Dergelijke overpeinzingen zijn cruciaal, omdat de antwoorden die we vinden niet alleen ons begrip van UAP's kunnen beïnvloeden, maar ook de manier waarop we ons als soort ontwikkelen en ons verhouden tot andere levensvormen in het universum.

UAP's: aliens of iets anders? Enkele van de meest voorkomende oorzaken voor UAP-waarnemingen

De rol van de overheid en transparantie

De rol van de overheid in de UAP-onderzoeken is cruciaal. Transparantie over waarnemingen en studies kan helpen om het vertrouwen van het publiek te winnen. De recente beweging naar openheid, zoals het vrijgeven van vertrouwelijke documenten en rapporten, is een positieve stap in de richting van een beter begrip van UAP's. Deze transparantie kan ook bijdragen aan het verminderen van de stigmatisering die vaak gepaard gaat met het melden van UAP-waarnemingen.

De overheid heeft de verantwoordelijkheid om het publiek te informeren over de bevindingen van UAP-onderzoeken, niet alleen om de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap te betrekken, maar ook om een breed scala aan perspectieven en inzichten te verzamelen. Dit kan helpen om de vragen en zorgen van burgers aan te pakken en een inclusieve discussie over het onderwerp te bevorderen.

De impact van publieke perceptie

De manier waarop het publiek UAP's waarneemt is ook van groot belang. In de afgelopen jaren is er een verschuiving geweest in de publieke perceptie van UAP's, van een onderwerp dat vaak werd belachelijk gemaakt tot een serieus onderzoeksgebied. Dit is in grote mate te danken aan de toegenomen media-aandacht en de betrokkenheid van wetenschappers en overheidsinstanties. De rol van sociale media en online gemeenschappen heeft ook bijgedragen aan deze verschuiving, waardoor mensen hun ervaringen en gedachten over UAP's kunnen delen en bijdragen aan een bredere dialoog.

Met deze verschuiving in de publieke perceptie komt ook een grotere verantwoordelijkheid voor zowel de media als de overheid. Het is belangrijk dat ze nauwkeurige en eerlijke informatie verstrekken over UAP's, om speculatie en desinformatie te verminderen. Een goed geïnformeerd publiek is essentieel voor een constructieve discussie over de implicaties van UAP's en wat ze voor onze toekomst kunnen betekenen.
