Drones Causing Worldwide Spike In UFO Sightings
Drones Causing Worldwide Spike In UFO Sightings
Military drone mistaken for 'UFO' along DC highways DC Breaking Local News Weather Sports FOX 5 WT
There was once a time when UFO sightings turned out to be easily identified objects like weather balloons, lenticular clouds, satellites, meteorites, planets, conventional aircraft, weather anomalies and other normal things.
Now, here come the drones, the newest addition to the growing list of misidentified things in the sky that many people claim are ships from another part of our galaxy. (Watch the HuffPost Live video above)
Here’s the big problem with all of this: Not only do these unmanned objects look like UFOs or flying saucers, a lot of them are deliberately and inexpensively created to look like UFOs or flying saucers.
It’s a simple equation: More drones in the sky = more UFO reports.
From a “flying saucer” drone created by a Canadian science center to deliberately fool people at a baseball game (see image above), to a news agency’s hovering,camera-mounted craft observing a large crowd of protestors in Moscow, drone technology is used for military purposes as well as consumerism trickery.
STORY CORRECTION: Upon looking back at the HuffPost Live video interview at the top of the story, this reporter discovered that he gave an inaccurate statement about UFOs. He said, “Literally, 4 to 5 percent of every UFO sighting or report canbe easily explained if you give it a chance to be explained.” What he meant to say (and thought he said) was that 4 to 5 percent of UFO reports can’t be easily explained. Those are figures that have stood the test of time ever since the U.S. Air Force ended Project Blue Book — its more than 20-year study of UFOs — in 1969. Your reporter regrets the slight error.
Also on HuffPost:
UFOs? Maybe They’re Just...
Manufactured UFO -- 2011
Pictured is a quad copter -- a deliberately manufactured UFO created by special effects wizard Marc Dantonio for a National Geographic special, "The Truth Behind: UFOs," which aired in December 2011. On the left is what the small device looks like resting on the ground, measuring 4 feet in circumference. At right, is how it appeared behind a tree in the night sky.
Boomerang UFO composite images -- 10-5-12
This is a composite of images shot by two eyewitnesses of a boomerang-shaped UFO they reported seeing over their Burbank, Calif., home on Oct. 5, 2012. Mutual UFO Network photo/video analyst Marc Dantonio concluded the object was likely "a balloon, floating on the wind that has collapsed in half."
Exploding Weather Balloons, Not UFOs
On Dec. 20, 2012, a bright, circular object (pictured at the top of this composite image) was videotaped exploding in the skies above Sacramento, Calif. It wasn't immediately identified, resulting in speculation that it was either an alien spacecraft, military top secret weapon, runaway planet, North Korean satellite, among others. Within a short period of time, it became apparent that this was a weather balloon. The bottom part of this image shows such a balloon as it ascended over Tampa Bay, Fla., on July 2, 2012, and exploded in an identical manner as the Sacramento object, probably much to the dismay of all true ET believers out there.
Changing UFO Pattern -- Warren, Mich. 1-10-13
This four-image series of lights in the sky was recorded over Warren, Mich., on Jan. 10, 2013. The lights were seen changing into several patterns. The most logical explanation for these types of UFOs is a series of balloons or lanterns.
While space may remain “the final frontier”, according to recent reports, our efforts to get there affordably still seem to be fairly slow-going. Recent reports of DARPA’s new Experimental Spaceplane project, called the XS-1, aims to construct a reusable space plane based on designs submitted by various groups, one of which will be selected in 2017.
Space.com reports that the prospective plane, “at optimal operation, should be able to fly 10 times in 10 days, at a cost of no more than $5 million per flight.” Safety checks, refueling, wear and tear from reentry, and other factors often prevent such aircraft from being fully reusable. The proposed XS-1 “would be used primarily as a cheap and fast way to deliver satellites to orbit,” Space.com reported, based on a DARPA statement.
That is, of course, if you consider $5 million per flight “cheap”. Thus, we begin to see the reasons for the delayed progress, especially in lieu of space program funding issues we’ve seen over the last several years. Getting off-planet is never really “cheap”, although in the coming years, many hope it will continue to become less-costly thanks to such efforts as reusable aircraft like the XS-1.
Speculation remains, however, about other aircraft that may be operating a bit closer to Earth, and whether DARPA or similar groups may be involved with them and their operation.
Roger Marsh recently reported at OpenMinds on an incident that occurred on May 22, 2016, as outlined in MUFON case 76537, in which an Illinois based witness had been commuting between locations near Spring Grove in McHenry County, Illinois. The event occurred at approximately 9:30 PM local time.
The observer reported seeing a large, triangular aircraft “at an estimated height of 200 feet above ground,” which the witness was able to drive close enough to nearly pass directly under it. The driver turned around and returned to the location, and over the course of one minute the aircraft began to execute an apparent banking turn, in which it angled one of its edges toward the ground as it continued to move slowly through the sky.
The Inquisitr website also reported on the incident, noting that, “The sightings have helped to sustain rumors in Pentagon black project conspiracy theory circles that the U.S. government is conducting a series of late-stage flight tests of a new generation of ‘black triangle’ stealth reconnaissance aircraft.”
Mystery aircraft photographed over Wichita, Kansas.
Illinois has a history involving observation of large triangle aircraft like these, with one notable incident that occurred in St. Clair county, southwestern Illinois, on January 5, 2000. The incident began at around 4:00 AM, on the date in question, and involved police officers from multiple districts that were responding to the early morning observation of a similar large, slow-moving triangular aircraft. One officer managed to obtain an indistinct polaroid photograph of the craft as it moved away from him (more about the St. Clair County case can be read here).
A skeptical position on this incident, offered by Brian Dunning of Skeptoid, suggests that the aircraft had been a conventional blimp giving a private tour; it is unclear why a VIP tour of this sort would have taken place between 3 and 4 AM, and no records directly connecting the incident with the local operations of the American Airship Company, to whom the source of the incident was attributed, have been made available.
In discussion of “Mystery Aircraft” at its website, the Federation of American Scientists have also gathered information about purported “triangle” craft, where it notes:
“A very intriguing aircraft was been reported in the late 1980s. Some observers claim to have witnessed a vast black flying wing, estimated at between 600 and 800 feet in width, passing silently over city streets in California. The craft moved so slowly one observer claimed that he could jog along with it. The aircraft reportedly executed bizarre maneuvers in which it stopped, rotated in place and hovered vertically, pointing its thin trailing edge toward the ground. This vehicle’s unlikely gyrations suggest that it is distinct from the other sightings, and could be a lighter-than-air craft pushed by slow- turning propellers.”
More information from the FAS on purported mystery aircraft, and their possible connection to black budget programs, can be found here.
Remarkably, the notion that some, if not the majority of purported “mystery aircraft” may be military projects is often met the same sort of derision that UFO advocates and ET enthusiasts receive. However, dismissive though the modern skeptic may tend to be about such possibilities, one must acknowledge the likelihood that such aircraft, reported consistently over the years and with general continuity of descriptions maintained throughout, can’t easily be chalked up entirely to overactive imaginations, or the modern equivalent of “liar’s clubs”. Even if the distinct minority of cases involving large triangle aircraft or similar objects were the only reliable ones, a case could be made for the existence of new secret aviation technologies that are in use by military officials and agencies.
With the wide number of collected reports involving such craft that are presently available, I would be interested in hearing from readers that believe they have had their own sightings, and encourage contact via email here, or using the comments section below.
An unusual discovery was made recently by the cast of a New Zealand morning show, in which a strange aircraft, seemingly moving at incredible speed, was observed using a radar app as it passed over the ocean near New South Wales earlier in May, 2016.
The object, labeled “ZKGDG”, apparently did not correspond with any known commercial aircraft operating in the area at that time, although the apparent speed of the aircraft (as can be seen here) would seemingly rule out any conventional plane.
According to one YouTube user, the object appearing on radar would have been traveling approximately 70,000 miles per hour. “I don’t believe I know of anything that can travel at that rate of speed, not even a rocket or something in orbit doesn’t even travel that fast,” the YouTube user said.
It was reported that at roughly the same time, a joint U.S. and Australian superjet testwas, in fact, underway, which some suggested may have been the object appearing on the radar app. However, the location and direction of the experimental craft, as well as the speed, did not appear to match the “mystery” object detailed in the video in question.
According to the website for the Flightradar24 app, “The primary technology that Flightradar24 use to receive flight information is called automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B).” This technology allows aircraft using transponders to be tracked in a number of surprisingly simple ways, with that data relayed back to companies that present the data with apps like Flightradar24, which saw a surge in popularity after the disappearances of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, as well as the subsequent crash of MH17 over Ukraine. With regard to military aircraft, Flightradar24 reports that, “For security and privacy reasons information about some aircraft is limited or blocked. This includes most military aircraft and certain high profile aircraft, like Air Force One.”
Nonetheless, some military aircraft can be tracked, and may still appear using such apps (or similar “homemade” data collection systems, like these).
Shortly after the story was discussed on the TGR podcast, a U.K. listener wrote to us with a few of his own observations from using the Flightradar24 app:
“The Flightradar24 app does display some, but not all military and private aircraft, and often with military craft, the app will apply a random registration number and/or name to such aircraft, for security reasons usually. Most military craft are blocked actually from appearing on the map; you can see some though. I monitor several military aircraft that carry out war games each night, in the North Sea a few miles from my home. They send out small jets to be chased by Euro Fighter Typhoons, etc, and also refueling aircraft.”
The question remains, of course, whether any experimental military aircraft would be capable of detection using ADS-B transponders, as the object in question had been. Of equal consideration is whether any aircraft in existence — known or unknown — would be capable of such incredible speed; as of 2004, a NASA scramjet has purportedly reached speeds of Mach 9.6, which would be roughly 7600 mph. This is still only a little more than 1/10 of the speed the mysterious “ZKGDG” had purportedly been traveling at the time it was observed.
In addition to the mystery “plane” tracked via radar, a weather camera in New Zealand had also captured what seemed to be a “mystery object” drifting overhead; however, this was later determined to be a weather balloon launched by NASA.
For the time being, our money will remain on the likely possibility that “ZKGDG”, rather than a mystery plane, was instead merely a glitch in the radar app’s data… what are your thoughts? If you have an alternative idea, you can send along an email, or use the comments section below.
If you love to spend your leisure time looking at the water or always dream about living in the water, Italian mini-yacht manufacturer Jet Capsule has a surprise for you to fulfill your dreams.
The company has come up with a creative concept for a saucer-shaped UFO, or ‘Unidentified Floating Object’, which offers a completely off-grid existence floating on the sea.
As per the company’s co-founders, Pierpaolo Lazzarini and Luca Solla, the floating UFO home is intended for “living in a floating house and moving slowly around the world.”

Here are some of its special features:
Energy is generated from 40 square meters (430 square feet) of solar panels, which are located in the closeable space at the top of the roof for protection during a storm. Moreover, wind and water turbines could also be added, which would generate enough power for household operations and the motor on cloudy days.
As per Jet Capsule, this UFO is “unsinkable.” Furthermore, “The main structure of the floating object can be aligned with a compass, keeping the position angle oriented on the desired cardinal direction, even in rough sea conditions.”
Drinking water is made available by solar-powered desalination and a system that purifies rainwater.
Food comes from the vegetable garden that encircles the structure and measures 12.5 m (41 ft) in diameter.
The lower level of the UFO is submerged in the water and has a viewing window to enjoy the underwater world.
If you are planning to buy this floating UFO home, then you have to wait as it is still a concept. At present, the company is seeking investors to build the first working prototype, at an estimated cost of $800,000 USD. However, the company is hopeful that the UFO’s price will eventually come down to $200,000 USD.

Sur notre chère planète Terre, lorsque les vents solaires nous frappent, ceux-ci génèrent des aurores polaires. Le Soleil serait également responsable des panaches nuageux observés sur Mars.
Le Soleil interagirait avec l’ionosphère de Mars afin de générer ces panaches, c’est en tout cas la conclusion à laquelle est arrivée une équipe de scientifiques grâce à l’exploitation des données de la sonde Mars Express de l’ESA (European Space Agency). Les panaches nuageux ont tendance à se former à 250 km d’altitude (alors qu’ils devraient se former à 100 km d’altitude). Une « anomalie » qui permettait d’observer les nuages depuis le télescope spatial Hubble.
Auparavant, il était supposé que la formation de ces nuages était liée au fait qu’ils se trouvaient au-dessus d’une zone riche en vapeurs d’eau et en dioxyde de carbone, propre à donner naissance à de telles structures. L’équipe de chercheurs a publié dans « Journal of Geophysical Research », une étude dévoilant une autre hypothèse, en effet ce phénomène interviendrait suite à des éjections de masse coronale qui projettent du plasma ionisé produit par la couronne solaire dans l’espace interplanétaire.
Ces éjections de masse coronale provenant du Soleil seraient si puissantes qu’elles réussiraient à interagir avec l’ionosphère de la planète Mars, ce qui coïnciderait avec les observations. L’interaction avec l’ionosphère martienne et ce plasma ionisé aurait alors pour conséquence… de ne pas former de nuage. En effet, l’étude suggère que ce qui est observé n’est pas un nuage mais une perturbation suffisamment importante pour que les poussières et les grains de la glace contenus dans la haute atmosphère martienne soient éjectés dans des couches supérieures de l’atmosphère. Le tout donnant un « panache vaporeux et lumineux » confondu classiquement avec un véritable nuage.

Des simulations informatiques montrent que les exoplanètes situées en zone habitable peuvent conserver une atmosphère étouffante, bien trop chaude pour l’eau à l’état liquide.
Pour trouver des planètes susceptibles d’abriter la vie, les scientifiques cherchent des planètes dans les « zones habitables » autour de leurs étoiles – à bonne distance pour permettre à l’eau d’exister sous forme liquide. Et la pêche n’a jamais été aussi bonne. Pour cela nous devons remercier Kepler : en l’espace de quatre années, et la surveillance de quelque 150.000 étoiles réparties dans une petite fenêtre du ciel, le satellite a déjà débusqué plus de 3 400 candidates.
Parmi les exoplanètes actuellement référencées, beaucoup sont des super-terres : plus grosses et plus massives que la Terre. Et leur étoile, pour la plupart, est une naine rouge. Ces étoiles, plus petites et moins chaudes que le Soleil, sont beaucoup plus nombreuses que les grosses (environ 75 % de la population stellaire de la Galaxie), et il en serait de même pour les planètes. Sur le papier, nous serions alors tentés de penser que nous n’avons qu’à « piocher » dans le tas pour trouver de nouvelles traces de vie, tant les probabilités sont énormes … Sauf que les naines rouges n’ont pas bonne réputation pour l’habitabilité.
Dans une étude récemment publiée dans la revue Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, une équipe dirigée par le professeur James Owen, de l’Institute for Advanced Studies à Princeton, démontre à travers ses simulations informatiques, qu’il serait en effet difficile de trouver des terres habitables dans les zones habitables des naines rouges. La faute à la gravité.
En effet, une planète de masse équivalente à la nôtre, ou supérieure, aurait de grandes chances de conserver tout au long de son évolution, à cause de sa gravité, une atmosphère épaisse. Celle-ci peut représenter un pour cent de la masse de l’astre. En comparaison, l’atmosphère de la Terre représente seulement un millionième de sa masse. Aussi, dans ces conditions où l’effet de serre est énorme, la possibilité que de l’eau puisse demeurer à l’état liquide est nulle. La probabilité de dénicher de la vie « ailleurs » s’effondre alors.
Mais tout n’est pas perdu. Pour les chercheurs, les conditions seraient plus propices à la surface de mondes moins massifs que la Terre, comparables à Vénus ou Mars. Des mondes qui ne retiennent pas bien leur atmosphère, épaisse dans leur passé, mais usée depuis par les rayonnements X et ultraviolets. On se consolera en se disant que ces petites planètes sont sans doute beaucoup plus nombreuses que les planètes plus grosses et plus massives.

Infiniment grand et infiniment complexe, l’Univers est aussi fascinant qu’il est riche. Un Youtubeur en a fait le thème principal de sa chaîne qui compte plus de 100 000 abonnés, et dans sa dernière vidéo, il vulgarise l’Univers en nous l’expliquant en quatre minutes seulement.
Voici de quoi bien résumer ce qu’est l’Univers et ce qui le compose de manière simple, claire, et un peu humoristique. Encore faut-il que vous parliez anglais… Cette vidéo, c’est au Youtubeur Exurb1a que nous la devons, dont la chaîne traite du thème de l’Univers en vulgarisant les informations pour les rendre faciles à suivre et compréhensibles pour le plus grand nombre.
Il commence par évoquer la longueur de Planck, « la plus petite chose dont vous pourriez parler« , qu’il qualifie de « Tyrion Lannister de la physique« . Ensuite, la discussion se poursuit en évoquant les neutrinos, les quarks et autres protons, neutrons, électrons. Puis c’est au tour de la table périodique des éléments d’être expliquée, viennent ensuite les quatre forces de la physique, le Modèle Standard, l’ADN, les cellules, le monde macroscopique comme nous l’utilisons tous les jours, jusqu’au Système Solaire et aux galaxies lointaines.
De quoi nous rendre compte en un temps record que nous ne sommes que tout petits à l’échelle de l’Univers, et tellement insignifiants. Et de terminer la vidéo sur une touche humoristique : « De toute façon, Rien veut dire Tout, et nous allons tous mourir« .
N’hésitez pas à consulter les autres vidéos du Youtubeur Exurb1a, toutes très enrichissantes et plutôt légères pour un sujet toujours plus complexe, mais tellement passionnant.

Si nous faisions un jour la découverte de vies extraterrestres, comment la nouvelle serait-elle annoncée au monde entier ?
La transmission de nouvelles dans la culture mondiale a fondamentalement changé au cours de ces trois dernières décennies. Le grand public, dans sa plus grande majorité, a tendance à s’imprégner de faits et d’histoires sur des échelles de temps de plus en plus rapides. L’esprit s’emballe, et les infos consommées se retrouvent plus ou moins bien traitées. La discussion / déformation par les écrivains, blogueurs, commentateurs, journalistes ou internautes s’opère également de plus en plus vite. Dans une ère de co-création universelle, chacun y va de son avis, le récit et analyse de nouvelles n’étant plus cantonnées à un petit groupe de médias classiques. Qu’en serait-il alors pour l’annonce d’une découverte qui changerait à jamais notre perception de l’univers ? Si nous devions mettre un jour le doigt sur une vie extraterrestre, comment l’annoncer au monde ?
Duncan Forgan et Alexander Scholz, astronomes à l’Université de St Andrews, en Écosse, viennent de publier une nouvelle étude qui nous donne quelques idées sur la manière de transmettre cette information au monde entier. Elle parle aussi des précautions à prendre. En effet, des protocoles initialement rédigés en 1989, et mis à jour en 2010, ont été rédigés pour guider les scientifiques du SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) en cas de détection de preuves d’une intelligence extraterrestre. Mais ces derniers ne donnent pas d’indications quant à la manière dont les scientifiques devraient se préparer à naviguer dans ce tourbillon médiatique. Les chercheurs doivent donc aujourd’hui tenir compte de ce paradigme moderne pour la consommation des nouvelles par le public.
“L’une des principales préoccupations des chercheurs de SETI, c’est la réaction du monde à l’annonce qu’une autre forme d’intelligence existe dans l’univers”, expliquent-ils. Connaissant le monde, les chercheurs doivent néanmoins s’attendre à être particulièrement exposés, scrutés et sollicités. Ils devront être également réactifs en cas de fausse alerte. Si découverte d’extraterrestres il y a, cette nouvelle étude affirme que le gouvernement n’essayera pas de la cacher comme certains tendent à le penser : « il faudra que l’information soit traitée comme toutes les autres. Les scientifiques de SETI doivent s’attendre non seulement à faire une annonce via un communiqué de presse, mais aussi à devenir la voix de la raison dans le débat qui suivra”, précisent notamment les chercheurs. «Les personnes concernées devront être des communicateurs crédibles, avec des informations vérifiées, afin de maintenir une présence numérique indispensable durant les premières étapes de la révélation. S’il est très clair que la détection est confirmée, et que des causes naturelles ou artificielles sont exclues, alors il n’y a pas de place pour les théoriciens du complot pour se lamenter« .
Enfin, nos deux chercheurs conseillent également les potentielles personnes concernées « de mettre à jour leurs paramètres de sécurité concernant leurs informations personnelles,pour se munir contre les personnes malveillantes« . Mais entre nous … Et compte tenu de l’état actuel de notre monde, sommes-nous sincèrement prêts à vivre l’un des moments les plus bouleversants de l’histoire de notre espèce ?
Mars is among a group of planets and moons in our solar system considered promising candidates for hosting, or having once hosted, alien life.
But signs of this life in the solar system may be harder to find than previously thought.
Any relics left over on the surface of the planet are likely to have been wiped out by powerful space radiation, according to new research.
Our neighbouring planet Mars could have been covered in vast salty oceans (artist's impression pictured) that would have been ideal for life to form. According to a new study, the signs of this life might be more difficult to find than previously thought, because of the harmful effects of space radiation
WHAT THE STUDY FOUND
Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are one of the signs researchers are hoping to find.
Previous research suggested amino acids could survive for up to 1 billion years under Martian conditions - when looking at amino acids on their own.
The researchers mixed the amino acids with a kind of rock found on Mars and studied the effects of radiation.
They found 'the destruction rate of amino acids in silicate powder mixtures is dramatically higher than in pure dry amino acid mixtures.'
Mars is considered two of the most likely places for signs of past life to be found in our solar system because it is the planet that most closely resembles our own.
The red planet once hosted vast oceans on its surface, which is considered one of the most vital properties necessary for life to thrive.
But new research is suggesting signs of this life might more difficult to find, because they could be destroyed by the harsh radiation in space more quickly than previously thought.
Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are one of the signs researchers are hoping to find.
Previous research suggested amino acids could survive for up to 1 billion years under Martian conditions.
But Dr Alexander Pavlov, space scientist at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, and colleagues conducted new research and found the majority of amino acids were likely to be destroyed in 20 million years.
The 'search for the extinct life on Mars is based on the assumption that some original complex organic molecules would be able to survive for hundreds of millions - billions of years in the ancient Martian outcrops' according to the study.
WHAT ARE THESE COSMIC RAYS?
The Earth is constantly bombarded by high energy particles like protons, electrons and atomic nuclei. These particles make up the so-called 'cosmic radiation'.
These 'cosmic rays' are electrically charged, and are hence strongly deflected by the interstellar magnetic fields that pervade our galaxy.
This means the path they have travelled through the cosmos to reach us is so random that we have no idea what made them, so they have baffled scientists for more than a century.
The Earth's thick atmosphere acts as a shield from the rays.
But modern Mars has a thin atmosphere and Europa has virtually no atmosphere at all.
Both worlds are bombarded by high levels of radiation, which could spell doom for any fossils that may have once existed on the worlds' surfaces.

'More than 80 percent of the amino acids are destroyed for dosages of 1 megagray, which is equivalent to 20 million years,' Dr Pavlov said during a presentation at a conference, according to Live Science.
'If we're going for ancient biomarkers, that's a very big problem.'
Mars' ocean is thought to have existed around 3.4 billion years ago, when life was first starting to form on our own planet.
But Dr Pavlov's team mixed the amino acids with rocky material similar to that found on Mars, and found all the amino acids were degraded by radiation in as few as 50 million years.
This means Mars rovers would have to dig deeper to find amino acids that might have been shielded from the radiation.
'We are extremely unlikely to find primitive amino acid molecules in the top 1 metre [3.3 feet] [of the crust], due to cosmic rays,' Dr Pavlov said. 'It would be critical to provide missions with 2-metre [6.6 feet] drilling capabilities, or chose landing sights with freshly exposed rocks.'
Mars rovers like Nasa's Curiosity, shown, will have to dig deeper to find amino acids that might have been shielded from the radiation. Future missions would have to have 6.6 feet (2 metre) drilling capabilities, or chose landing sights with freshly exposed rocks, the researchers have said
RADIATION ON EUROPA
A separate study focusing on Jupiter's moon Europa also concluded the surface of the moon is an unlikely place for signs of life to survive.
Simulating the conditions on Europa's surface, the researchers found the moon's radiation dosages were comparable to those on Mars.
Simulations suggest microbes found in some of Earth's harshest environments would survive no more than 150,000 years in the top 3.3 feet (1m) of Europa's icycrust.

Simulating the conditions on Europa's surface, the researchers found the moon's radiation dosages were comparable to those on Mars.
'Radiation is going to play a major role at Europa in the top few meters — actually, dare I say, dozen meters — of Europa's surface,' said Luis Teodoro, a planetary scientist at Nasa's Ames Research Center in California, speaking at the same conference.
He said his simulations suggest microbes found in some of Earth's harshest environments would survive no more than 150,000 years in the top 3.3 feet (1 m) of Europa's icy crust.
Organic biomarkers buried within 3.3 feet (1 metre) of the surface would last only 1 to 2 million years, he said.
'If we want to put a lander on the surface of Europa to check if life is there, we most likely are going to see something destroyed — mangled materials, mainly organics — from this huge dosage of radiation,' he said.
With a liquid layer located just a few miles underground, the ground on Europa refreezes where an impact happens, creating a fractured terrain with young scars on its plains, as seen in this image
JUPITER'S ICY MOON EUROPA
Jupiter's icy moon Europa is slightly smaller than Earth's moon.
Europa orbits Jupiter every 3.5 days and is tidally locked - just like Earth's Moon - so that the same side of Europa faces Jupiter at all times.
It is thought to have an iron core, a rocky mantle and a surface ocean of salty water, like Earth.
Unlike on Earth, however, this ocean is deep enough to cover the whole surface of Europa, and being far from the sun, the ocean surface is globally frozen over.
Many experts believe the hidden ocean surrounding Europa, warmed by powerful tidal forces caused by Jupiter's gravity, may have conditions favourable for life.
Alien and UFO conspiracy theorists believe whistleblower testimonies prove that top-secret alien technology reverse-engineering research work is ongoing at several underground alien-government facilities across the country. The whistleblower testimonies, according to conspiracy theorists, also prove that the government is covering up the truth about contact with extraterrestrial races and access to exotic alien technology.
Many whistleblowers claim to have worked as government scientists and engineering contractors at several underground alien-government research facilities, such as the top-secret Area 51 military base in the Nevada desert.
Conspiracy theorists believe that alien UFOs recovered from crash sites are being stored at top-secret government facilities, such as Area 51 and the Dulce underground facility.
Conspiracy theorists also believe that in addition to badly burned alien corpses recovered from the Roswell crash site in 1947, the military authorities also rescued alien survivors from inside the crashed UFO. The alien survivors were taken to Area 51 where they were forced to help government scientists and engineers to reverse-engineer the propulsion technology of their exotic craft.
Conspiracy theorists cite testimonies by several whistle-blowers as proof of ongoing work at Area 51 to reverse-engineer alien propulsion technology. One of the whistle-blowers was Bill Uhouse, a man in his 70s, who claimed he worked from 1966 through 1979 as an engineer at the top-secret Area 51 facility in collaboration with a Grey alien. According to Uhouse, who passed away in 2009, he worked as a mechanical engineer at Area 51 with a Grey alien known as “J-Rod.”
Claim by mechanical engineer Bill Uhouse (Courtesy, FindingUFO):
He claimed to have worked with “J-Rod” to construct a flight simulator for the training of Air Force pilots who would fly advanced USAF stealth reconnaissance craft developed through reverse-engineering studies of alien UFOs.
According to Uhouse, he communicated with “J-Rod” by using a Grey alien technology adapted for use with humans. The technology allowed human scientists and engineers working with Grey aliens to communicate via telepathy aided by a sophisticated translator software.
Bill Uhouse interviewed in 1994 in Nevada (Courtesy, Miles Johnston):
According to Bill Uhouse, “J-Rod” showed humans at the facility how to control and fly an alien UFO. It is claimed that there are different races of the Greys. Grey alien races include Tall, Short Greys, and Greys with size comparable to humans. But it is uncertain which of the three major Grey races “J-rod” represented.
Going by the testimony of whistleblowers like Uhouse and several others who have come forward with information, it can be surmised that there are extraterrestrial races or civilizations that are scientifically and technologically far more advanced that ours.
Uhouse claimed that alien tech reverse-engineering research activity involving aliens and humans was ongoing at a number of massive undergroundfacilitiesacross the country. Some of the better known facilities include the Area 51 research facility and the Dulce underground research facility.
Bill Uhouse talks about re-engineering an ET Craft (Courtesy, Sirius Disclosure):
The Dulce alien-government underground facility, located under the Archuleta Mesa near Dulce in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, is believed widely to be much larger and more important than Area 51. It is believed that construction of the alien-government facilities began under the administrations of Presidents Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower. They were built to house Grey, Reptilian and Tall White alien scientists. The treaty with the Greys and the Reptilians included an agreement that the government would allow the aliens to establish underground research facilities where alien scientists would conduct bio-genetic research to develop advancedalien-human hybrids.
To facilitate the alleged bio-genetic research program, the U.S. government permitted the aliens to abduct a limited number of humans for use as research guinea pigs. Aliens use top-secret underground bases for sinister, Nazi-style bio-genetic research to develop human-alien hybrids, according to conspiracy theorists.
Grey and Reptilian aliens needed to develop Grey-human and Reptilian-human hybrids to save their races from extinction, according to conspiracy theorists. The aliens agreed in return to grant the U.S. government access to advanced alien technology, especially aerospace technology.
UFO conspiracy theorists claim that most cases of alien abduction involve Greys and Reptilians using humans for sinister, Nazi-style bio-genetic research as part of efforts to develop human-alien hybrids.
And there are rumors that the Greys and Reptilians are violating the terms of the agreement with the U.S. government that limit the number of humans they are allowed to abduct for the purpose of their bio-genetic research program. Although the U.S. authorities are aware that the aliens are violating the terms of the agreement under which treaties were signed in the 1950s, they have been unable to stop the violations. The underground facilities are equipped with sprawling laboratories and engineering workshops. The facilities also have sections where extraterrestrials and abducted humans used as research guinea pigs are held captive.
According to Uhouse, there may be hundreds or even thousands of Grey aliens working with Pentagon on advanced technologies as part of efforts to keep their side of the bargain with the U.S. government.

Fleet of UFOs Filmed While Harvesting Energy from Thunderstorm [Video]
Fleet of UFOs Filmed While Harvesting Energy from Thunderstorm [Video]
A new video revealing a compact formation of 7 UFOs has recently surfaced. The sighting is extremely intriguing as the flying device appear to be charging from this massive thunderstorm, and as the storm light up the sky, the traits of a mothership are also revealed.
The objects were clearly visible for a relatively long period of time. Their spherical design and brightness emanating from them make this sighting impossible to miss, even with the naked eye. At one point, we can see one of them shutting down its lights and thus becoming invisible for a few seconds, before turning bright again. Such a behavior indicate these may be the notorious orb UFOs that keep showing up everywhere across the globe.
Most UFOlogists believe extraterrestrial vessels use many types of energy, electricity being just one of them, and have methods (unknown to us) for harvesting it from sources we can’t possibly imagine. The web is full of footage of UFOs plunging in active volcanoes or gathering water from the oceans, and the vast amount of electricity produced by a thunderstorm should also serve as their battery recharger.
This theory is also backed by the earlier video, as the UFO seems drained of power and seeking lightning and slowly moves towards it.
The authenticity of the video is undeniable, the quality is not too good or too bad. Just before the 1:20 mark, as a powerful bolt of lightning splits the sky, it also illuminates what seems to be a gigantic mother ship, incorporating the 7 round bright lights. Throughout the recording, the peculiar orbs become even brighter whenever lightning strikes, indicating the possible moment when they capture energy.
Could the visible structure behind the small UFOs be in fact a mothership recharging?
This incident is almost identical to the one in Phoenix, Arizona. Back in 1997, strange lights lit up the sky, leading authorities into believing that the luminous objects were in fact signaling flares used by the army. This is not the case however, as there was no military or industrial testing of any kind anywhere in the area when the footage was captured.
Furthermore, flares wouldn’t even be visible in a bright storm such as this one, let alone be made more visible by lightning. But, this time, authorities haven’t even bothered giving an explanation.
Some skeptics suggested the bright dots are nothing more than drones, but since the autonomy of drone battery can’t hold for more than five minutes, not to mention the harsh conditions imposed by the extreme weather, such a possibility is extremely unlikely.
However, since the military has technology way ahead of our time, it’s possible that their new toys are being tested in the storm. If they have indeed achieved such a feat, than the moment when Project Blue Beam will impose a new world order isn’t as far as some would expect.
The matter remains debatable since numerous ufologists consider the objects you’re about to see in the video to be clear evidence of extraterrestrial activity. Although some consider our earthly technology less evolved than that of aliens, the possibility of world governments being in close relationship to these otherworldly beings, sharing technology in exchange for abduction programs and tons of data may be why their wrong.
If there’s indeed a pact between humanity and extraterrestrials, it could explain why there’s so many breakthrough discoveries going on right now. Whatever the case, we are yet to find out what these ‘higher forces’ have in store for us.
Watch the video and judge for yourself. What do you think?
Why Humanity May be Monitored by an Advanced Species of Extraterrestrials
Why Humanity May be Monitored by an Advanced Species of Extraterrestrials
The words “Black Knight” may not ring many bells in the field of science to a simple person with little access to forbidden knowledge. In our case, it is no literature reference, nor Monty Python’s famous Holy Grail quest.
This object of worldwide interest has quite a history of interacting with a few of our most brilliant minds in the realm of science, thus making its existence undeniable among our list of unexplained UFO phenomena.
The Black Knight is a celestial body which is theorized to have roamed our orbits for more than 13,000 years, and counting. Though it is an ancient neighbor of our beloved blue star, its presence had been noticed in 1899, when Nikola Tesla was experimenting with a high-voltage radio device in Colorado Springs, and intercepted radio signals from space, which he immediately interpreted as “from another world”. His conclusions were based upon the irregular and unusual signals read by his receiver.
Nikola Tesla may have been the first but not the only one to read these enigmatic radio transmissions. Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor and electrical engineer renowned for the Marconi’s law and the radio telegraph system, had apparently intercepted the same signals.
In 1953, four years before the launch of Sputnik I, the Black Knight satellite got originally into the attention of the Department of Defense, after it was noticed by Dr. Lincoln La Paz of the University of New Mexico. Striving to gather as much knowledge regarding the mysterious satellite, astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh was assigned with leading a research mission.
A similar attempt was conducted by the Grumman Aircraft Corporation, the last century’s leading producer of military and civil aircraft. The initiative took place after capturing a photograph of the Black Knight, widely manifesting the Military’s interest in the unidentified flying object.
Thus, a special committee was created, whose sole purpose was the gathering of any piece of information relevant enough to clear little by little, the mystery around our distant neighbor.
After thorough calculations, it was estimated that the satellite orbited at a distance of about 400-600 miles from the surface of the earth and it weighed around 15 tons, which was another proof of its unearthly origins, because not even the Americans nor the Russians had the capability of sending such a heavy object into space.
Moreover, the satellite’s moving speed was calculated to be as twice as fast as any other satellite launched from Earth. The Black Knight’s movement unpredictability made it very hard to be seen in the sky, added up to the shroud of mystery that veiled this ancient and unique relic of the sky.
These characteristics were of great importance for it assembled an intricate puzzle that reveal a peculiar behavior of this rogue satellite, which made even more clear the fact that it did not belong to our technological state.
Because it was situated about the polar orbit, it meant again that it was not some sort of satellite placed there for espionage, since not one country was able to achieve polar orbit at that time.
One year after, one of the first public mentions regarding the Black Knight satellite, occurred in August 1954, when the technology magazine Aviation Week and Space Technology published a story that caused quite a stir in the Pentagon who tried to keep these events a secret.
In 1957, while taking pictures of the Sputnik II, Dr. Luis Corralos accidentally takes a clear photograph of the Black Knight, where it is indicated that the mysterious satellite orbited in an opposite direction compared to any other satellite that orbits from west to east, due to the technological insufficiencies of that time.
On February 1960, the media of the United States lavished with headlines that announced the detection of a mysterious “dark” satellite orbiting on a regular path around our planet. Initially it was considered to be another Russian surveillance satellite sent to spy on the U.S. territory, which put the American government in a pretty bad shade, hence making them seem unaware of various other threats to the national security, considering the tensions of the Cold War.
After the announcement, the Department of Defense assured the population that it was merely but an old space derelict, an Air Force Discoverer satellite that had gone astray.
None of these evidences compare to new data put into light by Duncan Lunan, a Scottish scientist who was able to decipher the radio signals caught by two Norwegian physicists in the 1920’s.
In the process of translating the signal, he plotted a vertical axis of the broadcast pulse sequence with a horizontal axis of echo delay time, resulting in the representation of the Epsilon Bootis Star System as it was13000 years ago.
Along with the Black Knights satellite transmission, a message accompanied the star map:
“START HERE.
OUR HOME IS EPSILON BOOTIS, WHICH IS A DOUBLE STAR.
WE LIVE ON THE 6TH PLANET OF 7 – CHECK THAT, 6TH OF 7 – COUNTING OUTWARDS FROM THE SUN WHICH IS THE LARGER OF THE TWO.
OUR 6TH PLANET HAS ONE MOON, OUR 4TH PLANET HAS THREE, OUR FIRST AND THIRD PLANETS EACH HAVE ONE.
OUR PROBE IS IN THE ORBIT OF YOUR MOON. THIS UPDATES THE POSITION OF ARCTURUS SHOWN ON OUR MAPS.”
Even for the most skeptical and non-believers, this is an unassailable series of evidence that should at least determine one to take into consideration that this stranding relic is more than what meets the eye.
Most believe that the Black Knight is a surveillance tool and a way of testing our species’ wisdom and intelligence, to make the first step in finding on our own with little help, the way to what might be our real origins.
There is no room for our ego and ignorance, for we must extend our spectrum of belief and reach out to any sign given, since many of us desperately seek clues of our whereabouts.
Deep inside we all feel an intrinsic connection with our maker, who might be closer to us than we could possibly imagine, and more caring than we deserve.
Leven op Ceres? Mysterieuze veranderingen heldere stippen doen astronomen versteld staan
Leven op Ceres? Mysterieuze veranderingen heldere stippen doen astronomen versteld staan
Deze maand werd bekend dat er leven mogelijk is in de ondergrondse oceaan van Jupitermaan Europa. Dat concludeerden wetenschappers van het Jet Propulsion Laboratory van de NASA.
Een nieuwe studie heeft geleid tot soortgelijke conclusies over dwergplaneet Ceres. Aan het eind van de 20e eeuw werd door ruimtetelescoop Hubble voor het eerst een foto gemaakt van een intrigerende heldere stip op Ceres, de grootste asteroïde tussen Mars en Jupiter.
Er wordt nog altijd druk gediscussieerd over de witte vlekken. Sommige astronomen denken dat ze worden veroorzaakt door ijs, zout of iets heel anders. Het is bekend dat onder het oppervlak van Ceres grote hoeveelheden bevroren water liggen opgeslagen.
Raadsel
Onlangs bestudeerde Paolo Molaro van de sterrenwacht van Triëst in Italië Ceres met de HARPS-telescoop. Hij ontdekte samen met zijn collega’s dat de heldere vlekken gedurende de dag van vorm veranderen en helderder worden. Het team staat voor een raadsel.
Met de HARPS-telescoop ontdekten de onderzoekers onverwachte veranderingen. Ze dachten in eerste instantie dat de apparatuur niet goed werkte. Uiteindelijk moesten ze concluderen dat de stippen echt veranderden. En wel op momenten dat ze zichtbaar waren vanaf de aarde.
Deze variaties doen astronomen nog steeds perplex staan, omdat er geen plausibele verklaring voor is te vinden. “We weten niets over deze veranderingen,” vertelde Molaro aan Astrowatch.net. “En dit vergroot het mysterie rond de stippen alleen maar.”
Vluchtige stoffen
Hij hoopt dat wetenschappers die betrokken zijn bij de ruimtesonde Dawn in de komende maanden meer duidelijkheid kunnen verschaffen. Molaro wil eind dit jaar meer metingen doen.
Volgens één hypothese kunnen de veranderingen worden veroorzaakt door de aanwezigheid van vluchtige stoffen, die verdampen door zonlicht. Als ze worden verlicht door de zon, vormen ze pluimen die zonlicht reflecteren.
Vanwege het enorme waterreservoir op de dwergplaneet wordt er ook nog altijd druk gediscussieerd over de vraag of er leven mogelijk is op Ceres. “Niemand weet dat op dit moment,” besloot Molaro.
Deze wetenschapper speurt bij een kernreactor naar parallelle universa
Deze wetenschapper speurt bij een kernreactor naar parallelle universa
Belgische en Franse wetenschappers zijn bij een kernreactor op zoek naar tekenen van een parallel universum. Dat schrijft het toonaangevende wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Physics World. Volgens de multiversumtheorie is ons heelal niet alleen en zweven er ook andere heelallen rond.
Ons universum wordt gekenmerkt door vier dimensies, te weten lengte, breedte, diepte en tijd. Er kan ook nog een ruimte zijn met vijf of meer dimensies, waar ons vierdimensionale heelal zich samen met andere 4D-heelallen in bevindt.
Geteleporteerd
Michaël Sarrazin (Unamur)
Hoewel deeltjes uit een ander 4D-heelal ons niet kunnen bereiken, hebben de Belgische wetenschapper Michaël Sarrazin en zijn collega’s toch een manier bedacht om ze te meten.
Ze laten een kernreactor continu neutronen produceren. Als die neutronen op atoomkernen in de reactor botsen, moet een klein deel ervan in een naburig 4D-heelal belanden. Ontsnapte neutronen kunnen vervolgens weer vanuit het parallelle heelal terugkeren naar het onze. En die kunnen worden opgevangen door een detector. Eigenlijk zijn die neutronen dan door de wand van de kernreactor geteleporteerd.
Groter project
Het team van Sarrazin stelde een detector op naast een Franse kernreactor. Na enkele dagen bleken er een aantal neutronen te zijn opgevangen. Die gelden echter nog niet als bewijs voor parallelle universa en hogere dimensies.
Volgend jaar willen de wetenschappers een groter project opzetten. Het onderzoek van Sarrazin en zijn collega’s is gepubliceerd in Physics Letters B.

BUITENAARDS BEZOEK VOOR ROSWELL, USA SLACHTOFFERS ( VIDEO
BUITENAARDS BEZOEK VOOR ROSWELL, USA SLACHTOFFERS ( VIDEO )
In de Amerikaanse staat Ohio bevindt zich op de Wright-Patterson luchtmachtbasis de beroemde hangar 18 met daarin de overblijfselen van de Roswell UFO crash.
Op diverse plaatsen in de buurt van de basis wordt door verscheidene mensen op verschillende data een vreemd uitziend object in de lucht waargenomen.
Voor mensen die interesse hebben in UFO’s is de Amerikaanse luchtmachtbasis Wright-Patterson in de staat Ohio een fascinerende plek.
Hier bevindt zich de beroemde Hangar 18, waar de overblijfselen van de Roswell UFO crash uit 1947 zouden worden bewaard.
Niet alleen het ruimtevoertuig zelf, maar ook de overblijfselen van de bemanning .
Uiteraard houdt de Amerikaanse overheid de lippen stijf op elkaar, maar de verhalen over Wright-Patterson Airforce Base gaan niet weg en in dat kader is de volgende gebeurtenis meer dan interessant.
Een echtpaar woont in buurt van Wright-Patterson Airforce Base en ziet een vreemd object in de lucht hangen.
Het is een vreemd gevaarte dat geen geluid maakt en tegen zonsondergang wordt ontdekt door een man die op de veranda van zijn huis staat.
Hij roept zijn vrouw en deze begint onmiddellijk te filmen, waarbij ze opmerken dat het object als het ware met de wolken mee beweegt.
Dan, plotsklaps, verdwijnt de UFO alsof deze in het niets oplost. Dit is niet zomaar een verhaal dat door één of twee mensen wordt verteld, maar ook de buren zien hetzelfde object in de lucht hangen. Meerdere getuigen die allemaal niets bijzonders hebben met UFO’s zien dit vreemde object.
Dat heel veel overeenkomsten vertoont met een vergelijkbaar object dat ongeveer een maand eerder was gefotografeerd door iemand in het iets verder gelegen Dayton.
De objecten lijken teveel op elkaar om niet één en dezelfde te zijn. Bijzondere opnames op een bijzondereplek.
While the aliens of 1950’s classics were mostly clunking robots or green creatures covered in slimy goo more recent portrayals are more sophisticated. Modern writers have often portrayed aliens with all too human motivations and objectives. While this is a step forward, it is far from the whole story, nor indeed, does it represent any real portrayal of truth. The fact is that we just plain do not know what form life will take if it did not evolve on this planet, we can only guess, and those guesses say far more about our psychology than that of any other worldly being.
According to the conspiracy theorists of UFO, the Black Knight is a form of the extraterrestrial satellite, which has orbited the Earth for around 13,000 years. The mythical object, however, is most likely a conflation of numerous disconnected stories according to Martina Redpath. Redpath is the senior education support officer of Armagh Planetarium in Northern Ireland. It was uploaded on a video stated the real color of the Black Knight. Its origin and its function are not known, but different images exist. It was NASA that took the pictures. In the following video, experts have shown a comprehensive and long investigation to rebuild, with a few available information about the object. While the investigation used a Spanish language, it is clear that the images will speak for themselves.
Alien and extraterrestrial beings have long been a subject for science fiction writers. Even before we had space travel, the topic had probably already entered into cliche. Of course as our understanding of the science behind Black Knight, biological systems, and our psychology has advanced so too has our portrayal of extraterrestrials in our entertainment media. We are not only in this world and if you have any uncertainties simply check the different alien stories which people were telling years ago. You cannot be ignorant to say that humans are alone in this universe, and neglect the reports on alien encounters told by people around the world.
Since approximately 1980, a Secret Space program has been in full operation and kept secret from the world. Accredited History Professor and UFO Researcher Richard Dolan has spent the better part of 20 years gathering evidence about this Black Budget, Secret Space Program. In this fully illustrated presentation , Richard Dolan presents all of his research to reveal the shocking truth that we have a major foothold in our solar system and that we are not alone in the universe. The facts presented in the program will shock and amaze you.
Nighttime Lights Raise Speculations Of A UFO Visiting Virginia Sky
Nighttime Lights Raise Speculations Of A UFO Visiting Virginia Sky
Dinwiddie Country, Va. – Residents are wondering about the origin of lights overhead in the McKinney night sky.
Some residents think it can be a flying saucer with life from another planet.
CBS 6 went out to the place of the sighting to interview the witnesses and investigate the authenticity of the reports about a UFO flying overhead.
The lights were still there when the television crew arrive in McKinney, Virginia and found out that the lights did not or barely move.
Moreover, there were no sounds of an engine running from those lights.
A reporting witness told CBS 6 that he believed the lights were coming from a UFO or UFOs visiting the Virginia sky.
While the alleged flying object may remain unknown at least for now, Zach Daniel, CBS 6 chief meteorologist, has a pair of guesses of where the lights could be coming.
He says that they are most likely from satellites or might be from another planet visible in the sky. But admits that he can be wrong, and further investigations may shed some lights whether they are from satellites, planets, orbiting space shuttle, the International Space Station or perhaps UFOs.
The most notorious alien mystery started when an unidentified object crashed near a ranch in Roswell, New Mexico. Despite that many alien investigators exerting efforts to obtain an “evidence” from the alleged crash which included aliens, both dead and alive in the wreckage, the story remains a mystery. Despite the ever-changing and self-serving statements from the U.S. Government, no one knows what caused the crash near Roswell in July of 1947. However, thanks to the courageous individuals who came forward to speak out what they witnessed at the unexplained event. Even though their claims were debunked as fake or hoax, we still learned something from them.
The public debate took place about the existence of aliens and UFO involving the former ministers of the government who served previously. The agenda is to pursue an action, which will be the step towards a full disclosure of the top secret documents towards the extraterrestrial visitations. According to the Global Television, there were 1,267 reported incidents across Canada last year. The event will take place in Brantford, Ontario on June 25, 2016. The purpose is to investigate and address the enigma on this modern day. Led by the Canada’s Former Deputy Prime Minister Paul Hellyer, the event has also been set up by Canadian research and development team to organize the historic occasion.
Among the former government official, Mr. Hellyer is said to be the highest ranking to acknowledge the existence of the UFO. Since July 1947, Roswell has been at the core of extraterrestrial incidents. It started when the military announced the discovery of the crashed flying saucer with remains on it at the desert nearby. At the event, there are also other topics which will be included aside from the Roswell incident, and these are the latest alien sighting reports, official documents of the government towards extraterrestrials, the president’s understanding, alien abductions, and much more.
There is also a massive movement taking place in North America led by the citizens who demand the governments to release any documents concerning aliens. Since Hilary Clinton vowed to expose the truth, many people that 2016 is the year of alien full disclosure.
1st Inflatable Habitat for Astronauts All Pumped Up on Space Station
1st Inflatable Habitat for Astronauts All Pumped Up on Space Station
By Calla Cofield, Space.com Staff Writer
The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module is seen fully inflated on the International Space Station after being successfully expanded to its full size on May 28, 2016. The Bigelow Aerospace-built BEAM is a prototype space habitat for future space stations, moon colonies and moon bases.

Houston, you have an epic balloon room in space. NASA has inflated the first-ever expandable room for astronauts on the International Space Station, a round module that made occasional popcorn-like popping sounds as it reached its full size.
It took NASA astronaut Jeff Williams on the station more than seven hours to inflate the privately built Bigelow Expandable Activity Module today (May 28). The new space room, called BEAM for short, was built for NASA by Bigelow Aerospace. Its inflation went at a glacial pace — a safety precaution since BEAM is the first of its kind — with Williams reporting that he heard popping noises with almost every short burst of air he fed into the module through a manual valve.
"It sounds sort of like popcorn in a frying pan starts up," Williams said. Flight controllers at NASA's Mission Control center in Houston said the sound was expected and a welcome one, since it indicated BEAM was expanding as planned. [The Inflatable BEAM Space Room in Pictures]
NASA successfully adds new INFLATABLE room on the ISS
The inflation process began in earnest Saturday at 9:04 a.m. EDT (1304 GMT) and was complete by 4:34 p.m. EDT (2034 GMT). Ten minutes later, the ball-shaped room was pressurized to match the pressure of the rest of the International Space Station.
NASA and Bigelow Aerospace initially tried to inflate the BEAM module on Thursday (May 26), but the expansion process did not go as expected. During that first two-hour attempt, NASA engineers detected higher-than-expected pressures inside the BEAM habitat, but later determined it was likely due to the module's fabric layers sticking together.
The inflation of the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, a prototype space habitat, is shown in this series of images taken by a NASA camera on the International Space Station during expansion operations on May 28, 2016. The process took over seven hours.

The fully inflated BEAM module is 13 feet (4 meters) long and 10.5 feet (3.2 m) wide, and contains 565 cubic feet (16 cubic m)of living space. But at launch, it was compressed into a space 7 feet long by 8 feet wide (2.1 by 2.4 m).
"Congratulations to the entire BEAM team," Bigelow Aerospace representatives wrote on Twitter after the inflation. "A significant milestone has been accomplished."
BEAM is a prototype space habitat that can be folded up like a parachute and reduced to nearly one-fifth its inflated size, making it easier to pack for a trip into space. Expandable habitats take up less room in a payload fairing than rigid, metal habitats, and are also lighter, which lowers the cost of sending them to space. In 2013, NASA awarded a $17.8 million contract to Bigelow Aerospace to build BEAM for testing at the space station.
"This first test of an expandable module will allow investigators to gauge how well the habitat performs and, specifically, how well it protects against solar radiation, space debris and the temperature extremes of space," NASA officialssaid in a statement.

With the BEAM inflation complete, NASA and Bigelow Aerospace will begin a weeklong series of leak checks. Only once those leak checks are complete will astronauts be allowed inside BEAM module for the first time, NASA officials have said.
The station crewmembers were initially scheduled to enter the BEAM habitat for the first time on Thursday (June 2), but those plans changed after Thursday's aborted inflation attempt. The leak checks should take about a week to complete, NASA added.
The Las Vegas-based Bigelow Aerospace, hastested its expandable habitats in space, but never with human occupants. The space station crewmembers will enter the habitat several times a year to "retrieve sensor data and assess conditions inside the module," according to NASA officials, but the crewmembers will not occupy the habitat full time.
BEAM flew to the station in a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule and arrived on April 10. It will remain on the station for two years, after which it will be jettisoned from the station using the Canadarm2, the robotic arm that can be operated from inside the station. Then, the habitat will fall toward Earth and burn up in the atmosphere.
Dinododende meteorietinslag was ook fataal voor veel Antarctische zeedieren
Dinododende meteorietinslag was ook fataal voor veel Antarctische zeedieren
Tim Kraaijvanger
Wetenschappers dachten dat de dinododende meteoriet niet overal evenveel slachtoffers maakte. Antarctische zeedieren zouden wellicht minder hebben gemerkt van de inslag die 65 miljoen jaar geleden plaatsvond. Uit nieuw onderzoek blijkt dat deze aanname niet klopt.
Wetenschappers van de universiteit van Leeds hebben meer dan 6.000 zeefossielen voor de kust van Antarctica geanalyseerd. Deze fossielen zijn 65 tot 69 miljoen jaar oud. Het is de grootste collectie zeefossielen ter wereld en het duurde zes jaar om deze volledige groep te onderzoeken. Onder de fossielen bevinden zich kleine slakjes en kokkels die op de zeebodem leefden, maar ook grotere soorten die aan het oppervlak zwommen.
Een bijzonder exemplaar is de ammoniet Diplomoceras. Dit is een ver familielid van de hedendaagse octopussen en inktvissen. De Diplomoceras had een paperclip-achtige schelp en kon wel twee meter lang worden. Een andere bijzondere zeebewoner was de Mosasaurus, ook wel de maashagedis genoemd, met een lengte tot wel achttien meter. De Mosasaurus is ook te zien in de film Jurassic World.
De Diplomoceras
Uit de analyse van de 6.000 fossielen blijkt dat het aantal soorten na de meteorietinslag met 65% tot 70% afnam. “Ons onderzoek laat zien dat de Antarctische zeedieren het van de ene op de andere dag moeilijk kregen”, zegt promovendus James Witts. “Dit wijst op een plotselinge en fatale gebeurtenis. Het is sterk bewijs dat de Antarctische zeedieren het effect van de meteorietinslag vrijwel direct merkten, in tegenstelling tot een langzame daling veroorzaakt door klimaatverandering of vulkanische activiteit.”
Daarnaast blijkt uit het onderzoek dat de meteorietinslag overal ter wereld zijn sporen achterliet. De inslag nekte niet alleen de dino’s, maar roeide ook veel andere dieren uit, zelfs bij de verre zuidpool.
Astronomen hebben diverse aanwijzingen gevonden dat de planeet – op 1200 lichtjaar van de aarde – wellicht leefbaar is.
Kepler-62f werd in 2013 ontdekt en draait om een ster die iets kleiner en koeler is dan de zon. Naast Kepler-62f draaien er nog vier planeten rond deze ster. Kepler-62f is van al deze planeten het verst van de ster verwijderd. De planeet is ongeveer 40 procent groter dan de aarde.
Leefbaar Hoewel we aardig wat van deze planeet weten, is er ook veel onbekend. Zo is niet helemaal duidelijk of de planeet leefbaar is. We weten dat deze 40 procent groter is dan de aarde en dat betekent dat deze waarschijnlijk rotsachtig is. Maar is er op het oppervlak van de planeet ook vloeibaar water – een belangrijke vereiste voor het leven zoals wij dat kennen – te vinden?
KOOLSTOFDIOXIDE
De atmosfeer van de aarde bestaat voor 0,04 procent uit het broeikasgas koolstofdioxide. Dit gas houdt de aarde warm. Omdat Kepler-62f verder van zijn ster verwijderd is, heeft deze meer koolstofdioxide nodig om warm genoeg te zijn om vloeibaar water te bezitten.
Verschillende scenario’s In die vraag hebben Amerikaanse onderzoekers zich nu vastgebeten. Ze schetsten verschillende scenario’s waarin de atmosfeer van de planeet en de baan van de planeet er elke keer een beetje anders uitzag. Vervolgens keken ze of de planeet met die baan en atmosfeer vloeibaar water kon bezitten. Zo keken ze bijvoorbeeld hoe het de planeet verging als deze een atmosfeer had die net zo dik was als de aarde, maar ook hoe de situatie was als de atmosfeer twaalf keer dikker was. Ook gingen ze uit van verschillende concentraties koolstofdioxide (van dezelfde concentratie als de atmosfeer van de aarde tot concentraties die 2500 keer hoger liggen, zie kader). Uit het onderzoek bleek dat veel van deze scenario’s de planeet in staat stellen om leefbaar te zijn.
Dikke atmosfeer Om het hele jaar door leefbaar te zijn, zou de planeet een atmosfeer nodig hebben die drie tot vijf keer dikker is dan de aardse atmosfeer en volledig uit koolstofdioxide bestaat. Het is zeker niet ondenkbaar dat de concentratie koolstofdioxide op Kepler-62f zo hoog ligt. Maar zelfs als de concentratie net zo hoog is als op aarde, kan er op de planeet – als deze een specifieke baan volgt – een groot deel van het jaar nog vloeibaar water te vinden zijn, zo stellen de onderzoekers. En daarmee is Kepler 62f een goede kandidaat voor leven.
De afgelopen jaren zijn er duizenden exoplaneten ontdekt. Een aantal ervan bevindt zich in de leefbare zone, wat betekent dat er mogelijk vloeibaar water op het oppervlak te vinden is. Maar op welke van deze potentieel leefbare planeten moeten we straks met behulp van krachtigere telescopen op zoek naar sporen van leven? Dit onderzoek kan helpen, omdat het op wetenschappelijke wijze de kans berekent dat een planeet leefbaar is.
Wauw! Dit zijn de beste close-up foto's van Pluto's oppervlak!
Wauw! Dit zijn de beste close-up foto's van Pluto's oppervlak!
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De foto’s zijn gemaakt door ruimtesonde New Horizons en hebben een resolutie van 80 meter per pixel. En daarmee zijn het veruit de meest gedetailleerde foto’s die we van Pluto hebben.
New Horizons maakte de foto’s op 14 juli, toen deze langs dwergplaneet Pluto scheerde. Tijdens die scheervlucht verzamelde de ruimtesonde een schat aan informatie over Pluto en zijn manen. Die informatie stuurt de sonde geleidelijk aan richting de aarde. En nu zijn dan – eindelijk – alle foto’s met de hoogste resolutie die New Horizons van Pluto maakte, binnen.
Mozaïek NASA voegde de foto’s samen tot één grote foto (een soort mozaïek eigenlijk). En die foto stelt wetenschappers in staat om zelfs de kleinste details op Pluto te bestuderen en vast te stellen hoe deze zijn ontstaan. Onderzoeker Alan Stern noemt de foto ‘magnetisch’. Zijn oog blijft er naar toe trekken. “De foto zorgt ervoor dat ik verlang naar nog een missie naar Pluto om hoge resolutiebeelden zoals deze van het gehele oppervlak te maken.
Eén zijde Want dat heeft New Horizons niet gedaan. De sonde scheerde langs Pluto en heeft dus maar één zijde van de dwergplaneet in detail kunnen fotograferen. De hoge resolutie-beelden die je hier ziet, beslaan slechts een klein stukje van die zijde van Pluto (zie afbeelding hiernaast). Maar wat zo mooi is, is dat dit kleine stukje van Pluto een grote verscheidenheid aan landschappen vertoont die we nu dus in detail kunnen bekijken.
Variatie genoeg We zien heuvelachtige, met kraters bedekte terreinen die overlopen in een gebied met parallel aan elkaar gelegen heuveltjes, dat weer overloopt in een chaotisch berglandschap, dat weer plaatsmaakt voor een vrij ‘glad’ terrein, om weer uit te komen in een bergachtig landschap. Pluto is allesbehalve saai!
'I proved human-alien hybrids EXIST', says scientist who 'found them living on Earth'
Author Claims Aliens Have Created Hybrids to Help Humans Evolve Into "Higher Beings"
'I proved human-alien hybrids EXIST', says scientist who 'found them living on Earth'
A GREEN energy expert, who helped shape UK renewable power policies, says he is convinced aliens have been secretly implanting extra terrestrial DNA into pregnant humans.
Experts claim that extraterrestrials have made hybrids with humans
Author Miguel Mendonça, 42, now claims the so-called alien-hybrid community is expanding on Earth and vital to the future of the human race because of how they are helping us "evolve into higher beings".
Mr Mendonça, who suffers with MS, the illness that leaves suffers with neurological symptoms, muscle pain and severe physical and mental exhaustion, even feels better with increased energy levels for having regular contact with the hybrids, although he stressed it could not cure his condition.
He said: "It's made no difference to my condition, but I do feel better on some levels."
Mr Mendonça, from Bristol, was formerly research manager for the World Future Council, which promotes best policy renewable power sources, and has written extensively on green energy policy.
However, for his latest publication, Meet The Hybrids: The Lives And Missions of ET Ambassadors On Earth published by Amazon and co-authored with Barbara Lamb, he spent time interviewing eight people who claim they have grown up with implanted alien DNA in their bodies and are part of a mission to improve mankind.
Ms Lamb has held great interest in the claims since she first heard them and has been an alien abduction researcher since the 1980s.
Mr Mendonça said he began the project with an open mind, but after finishing the research was convinced they were telling the truth and thinks he has now solved the mystery of why UFOs allegedly visit the Earth.
Green Guru, Miguel Mendonca now strongly believes in aliens
He said: "I try to keep my feet on the ground as much as possible.
"My background is in renewable energy policy gained as an academic, so I have to be sure of my facts.
"These hybrids are raising the vibration and awakening people. I have begun to go through this process and to me it is undeniable.
"Whenever someone with a strong ET aspect talks to me I feel my energy shift - it just goes through the roof.
"I find myself seeing energy with my third eye.
"I am a writer, and just wanted to share their stories, and had no clue I would be affected, it's changed my life.
"I will try to use what has been revealed. For one thing, it has solved some of the mystery of the UFO subject.
"We know why they are coming here and who they are."
These hybrids are raising the vibration and awakening people. I have gone through a process and to me it is undeniable.
Author Miguel Mendonça
In researching the book, each 'hybrid' was given the same set of questions to answer, including how they discovered they were a hybrid, what their genetic make-up was, and why they were here on Earth.
Mr Mendonça told Express.co.uk: "What became clear was how similar each of their accounts were. These were hybrids independent of each other who were describing the same experiences."
Among the interviewees was Robert Frost-Fullington, 36, from California, in the US.
He claimed to have DNA from four alien species known as reptilians, Sirians, Tall Whites and those which appear like a praying mantis.
He claimed in the book to have had implants inserted under his tongue at the age of five, before experiencing several encounters with aliens.
After periods of "conscious recall", in 2011, he said he realised he was a hybrid.
Asked how he was created, he said: "When the human woman becomes pregnant, she's taken up onto a craft and the beings will take the embryo and create a genetic overlay."
But far from seeing this non-consensual kidnap and interference as sinister, Mr Frost-Fullington and other hydbrids, including women, claim it is being done in the interest of humanity.
The people interviewed claimed their mission on Earth was to "raise" what they believe is a "frequency" on Earth by increasing an energy they refer to as "vibrations."
They all suggested this was triggering an ascension to take place, whereby humans will evolve from the third to an alleged fifth dimension, and lead more spiritual rather than physical lives.
Things such as war and violence are likely to end, it is claimed.
Tatiana Amore, 34, from southern England, was also interviewed, and said she was predominately of the "Pleiadian" race.
She said: "I understand the Earth is now changing to a new frequency which is meant to be lighter and better for humans."
However, although the hybrid were described as independent, one of them was Cynthia Crawford, 67, from Arizona.
It became clear in the book she had counselled and met several of the other interviewees before the research began.
Co-Author, Barbara Lamb
Mrs Crawford and Mrs Lamb also both spoke at the 2011 Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) annual convention at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Irvine, California, according to skepticblog.com.
Express.co.uk asked Mr Mendonça why he had not extended the research to interviewing the alleged hybrid's parents, or more scientific tests, such as putting the subjects through DNA and lie detector testing, and locating their alleged implants for further examination.
Mr Mendonça said: "Some said their parents were freaked out or did not want to know because they were old-school Christians."
He did not believe DNA screening would show anything unusual, because: "All it would find is their normal code and it would ignore anything else."
He added that they were reluctant to give up their DNA samples amid fears "secret military projects would use it to create human super soldiers."
But he added: "Robert is apparently warming to the idea of doing DNA testing, but we did not ask people to submit to DNA tests as much as anything because we did not have funding for that."
He added he had not considered the use of lie detectors or scans for implants, but that there had been an "independent verification" of interviewee Charmaine D'Rozario-Saytch, a 28-year-old woman from southern England, having a "possible implant".

A la recherche d'une cinquième force grâce à des géoélectrons
A la recherche d'une cinquième force grâce à des géoélectrons
Depuis des décennies, on spécule sur l’existence de nouvelles forces macroscopiques qui seraient analogues à l’interaction magnétique entre deux aimants. Ces forces dépendraient des spins entre deux particules. On vient d’améliorer les tests sur leur existence d’un facteur d’environ un million en utilisant une population d’électrons associée aux atomes de fer dans le manteau de la Terre.
Les forces électriques entre les électrons, les quarks ou d’autres particules chargées dépendent de leurs charges. Les théories de Yang-Mills à la base des autres interactions du modèle standardutilisent des sortes de généralisations des charges et des champs électriques pour décrire la force nucléaire forte et la force électrofaible. Dans une certaine mesure, la masse d’une particule élémentaire est l’analogue de la charge électrique pour le champ de gravitation, qui est aussi décrit par des équations de type Yang-Mills, les équations de la relativité générale.
Toutefois, on sait qu’il existe dans la nature des forces entre des objets qui ne semblent pas directement liées aux charges entre les particules, mais plutôt à une autre caractéristique fondamentale : le spin. C’est le cas des forces entre des aimants qui reposent ultimement sur le fait que les électrons doués de spin se comportent comme des dipôles magnétiques en interaction.
Généralisations des forces entre aimants
On s’est donc demandé s'il existe dans la nature des généralisations des forces magnétiques, faisant intervenir dans leur formulation mathématique non plus des produits de charges électriques mais des produits des expressions mathématiques décrivant leur spin. Incontestablement, on peut construire des théories mathématiques cohérentes prédisant des forces à plus ou moins longue portée entre des particules douées de spin. Mais la parole était à l’expérience.
Le prix Nobel de physique Norman Ramsey a été le premier à chercher des traces de ces nouvelles interactions en 1979. Il en a conclu que les effets mesurés entre deux protons ne différaient pas de ceux auxquels on s’attendait du fait des interactions magnétiques standard similaires, à la limite des mesures de l’époque.
Deux géants du modèle standard de la physique des particules : les prix Nobel Frank Wilczek (à gauche) et Yoichiro Nambu (à droite).
Vers 1984, le futur prix Nobel de physique Frank Wilczek a publié avec un collègue un article dans lequel il a relié l’hypothèse d’un nouveau couplage spin-spin entre deux particules à celle de l’échange entre ces dernières d’un boson scalaire bien particulier. Il s'agit de celui qu’il venait d’introduire dans le monde de la physique théorique : l’axion. Il faut savoir en effet qu’au bout du compte, le couplage magnétique entre deux spins de particules chargées fait intervenir un échange dit virtuel d’un boson bien connu : le photon.
Plus généralement, les années passant, plusieurs chercheurs ont emboîté le pas de Wilczek en introduisant divers nouveaux bosons susceptibles de donner lieu à des forces qui dépendent d’un couplage spin-spin. Des expériences délicates ont été entreprises afin de détecter l’existence d’une cinquième force à plus ou moins longue portée, nécessairement très faible pour avoir échappé jusqu’ici à toute détection. Au cours du temps, elles n’ont fait que repousser lentement les limites concernant les paramètres des théories proposées.
1042 géoélectrons polarisés à l'intérieur de la Terre
De façon remarquable, un groupe de physiciens des particules élémentaires et de géophysiciens vient de publier un article dans Science qui améliore brutalement d’un facteur de l’ordre d’un million la précision des tests sur l’existence d’un couplage spin-spin, autre que magnétique, entre des fermions du modèle standard.
Pour obtenir ce résultat spectaculaire, les chercheurs ont utilisé l’influence de ce qu’ils appellent des géoélectrons à l’intérieur de la Terre et ce sur trois expériences. Ces géoélectrons sont des électrons non appariés d'atomes de fer du manteau et de la croûte terrestre. Ils ont tendance à s’orienter avec leur spin le long des lignes de champ magnétique générées par la géodynamo. On dit qu’ils sont polarisés.
En se basant sur un modèle géophysique de l’intérieur de la Terre, il a d’abord fallu calculer le nombre et la répartition de ces géoélectrons polarisés. Une fois la carte de leur densité établie, il est devenu possible de calculer l’effet d’une éventuelle cinquième force sur certaines expériences. Une partie d’entre elles avaient pour but initial de déceler d’éventuelles violations de l’invariance de Lorentz, et utilisaient aussi le phénomène de résonance magnétique nucléaire.
Il se trouve que si les géoélectrons sont parfois à des milliers de kilomètres de ces expériences, leur nombre, estimé à 1042, compenserait largement cet inconvénient, à savoir une décroissance rapide de la cinquième force avec la distance. Ces géoélectrons seraient en effet responsable d’une force bien plus intense que celles théoriquement produites en laboratoire entre deux dispositifs, distants de quelques mètres tout au plus, et destinés spécifiquement à découvrir une nouvelle interaction avec un couplage spin-spin.
La chasse à la cinquième force continuera
Les résultats sont pour le moment négatifs, mais les chercheurs pensent pouvoir repousser encore les bornes sur l’intensité d’une cinquième force de ce genre en effectuant une nouvelle expérience en un lieu plus approprié : la Thaïlande. D’après leur modèle de répartition des géoélectrons, c’est en effet dans le sud de ce pays que les effets recherchés seraient les plus intenses et permettraient de repousser encore d’un facteur deux la précision des mesures.
En tout état de cause, ce travail est un exemple de plus des interactions surprenantes et imprévues que l’on peut rencontrer entre deux domaines de recherche à priori disjoints, à savoir la géophysique et la physique des particules. Ce n’est cependant pas la première fois. On se souvient du rôle des géoneutrinos.
Mais depuis peu, des physiciens en Hongrie pensent qu’ils pourraient avoir trouvé des preuves d’une cinquième force. Et, si elle est vérifiée, cela voudrait dire que nous aurons besoin de revoir nos connaissances sur la façon dont l’Univers fonctionne réellement.
Refaisons un point sur les 4 forces certifiées, car elles sont assez importantes. Elles sont un élément fondamental du modèle standard de la physique, qui explique tous les comportements et les particules que nous voyons dans l’Univers. En simplifiant et en commençant par la plus grande extrémité de l’échelle, la gravité est responsable de l’attraction des corps massifs entre eux (les planètes par exemple) et la force électromagnétique fait la même chose, mais de manière différente, avec nos molécules. A l’autre bout de l’échelle, il y a la force nucléaire forte qui est la colle pour les noyaux atomiques et la force nucléaire faible qui permet à certains atomes de passer par la désintégration radioactive (réaction nucléaire dans les étoiles, par exemple). Ensemble, ces forces expliquent, plus ou moins, la physique que nous pouvons observer.
La preuve de cette cinquième force a été repérée l’année dernière, quand une équipe de l’Académie hongroise des sciences a rapporté qu’ils avaient projeté des protons sur du lithium-7 et dans les retombé de l’interaction, avoir détecté un nouveau boson super-léger qui était seulement 34 fois plus lourd qu’un électron.
Aussi important que cela puisse paraitre, le papier n’a pas eu l’attention nécessaire et fut oublié jusqu’à ce qu’une équipe aux États-Unis publie leur propre analyse des données à la fin du mois dernier.
L’équipe américaine, dirigée par Jonathan Feng de l’université de Californie, a montré que les données ne rentrent pas en conflit avec les expériences précédentes et elle a calculé que le nouveau boson pourrait en effet être porteur d’une cinquième force fondamentale. C’est à partir de ce moment que le monde de la science a commencé à s’y intéresser.
Ce document n’a pas encore été examiné par des pairs (peer-reviewed), mais il a été diffusé de telle sorte que les autres physiciens puissent vérifier les résultats et ajouter leurs propres conclusions, ce qui est le cas actuellement.
Ainsi des chercheurs du monde entier s’efforcent d’effectuer des tests de suivi pour vérifier la découverte hongroise et nous pouvons nous attendre à des résultats dans environ un an.
Mais qu’est-ce qu’un boson super-léger a à voir avec une nouvelle force de la nature ?
Ce n’est pas la première fois que des chercheurs ont affirmé avoir détecté une cinquième force. De nombreux scientifiques pensent qu’il pourrait y avoir une particule, appelée “photon noir”, qui pourrait mener à une nouvelle force permettant d’expliquer lamatière noire, cette substance invisible qui représente plus de 80 % de la masse de l’Univers.
Voilà ce que l’équipe hongroise, dirigée par le physicien Attila Krasznahorkay, cherchait. Pour ce faire, ils ont tiré des protons sur des cibles minces de lithium-7, une collision qui a créé des noyaux instables de béryllium 8, qui se sont ensuite décomposés en paires d’électrons et de positrons.
Selon Edwin Cartlidge :
Selon le modèle standard, les physiciens devraient constater que le nombre de ces paires observées diminue à mesure que l’angle séparant la trajectoire de l’électron et du positon augmente.
Mais cela n’a pas été ce que l’équipe a vu. A environ 140 degrés, le nombre de ces paires a grimpé, ce qui crée une petite bosse avant de retomber à nouveau à des angles plus élevés.
Cette “bosse” était la preuve d’une nouvelle particule, selon Krasznahorkay et son équipe. Ils ont calculé que la masse de cette nouvelle particule serait autour des 17 mégaélectronvolts, ce qui n’était pas attendu pour le “photon noir”, mais pourrait être la preuve de toute autre chose.
Les chercheurs sont très confiants quant à leurs résultats expérimentaux. Selon eux, les chances que cette bosse soit une anomalie sont d’environ 1 200 milliards, mais il faut garder à l’esprit qu’aucune autre équipe n’a encore confirmé leurs résultats.
L’analyse par l’équipe de Feng aux États-Unis n’était pas une répétition de l’expérience, mais des calculs pour vérifier que, théoriquement au moins, le boson super-léger détecté par Krasznahorkay pourrait être capable de porter une nouvelle force fondamentale.
La communauté scientifique reste encore assez sceptique, concernant cette découverte, surtout en voyant que le boson super-léger n’était pas ce que l’on s’attendait à trouver.
Il ne reste plus qu’à attendre les résultats de ces autres équipes scientifiques, dans un an !
Even the South Pole Wasn’t Safe From the Asteroid that Killed the Dinosaurs, Study Finds
Even the South Pole Wasn’t Safe From the Asteroid that Killed the Dinosaurs, Study Finds
IN BRIEF
A new research identifying Antarctic fossils finds a 65-70% reduction in the number of species when a massive asteroid hit Earth, proving that even the poles weren't safe.
HUGE IMPACTS
One of the most studied events in the Earth’s history isn’t even one with humans in it: the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Almost 65 million years ago, the asteroid is theorized to have wiped out much of life on our planet. But some have argued whether it had the same effect in the poles, far from the impact zone in the Gulf of Mexico.
Until now.
A new study of more than 6,000 marine fossils from the Antarctic shows that the same event that killed the dinosaurs was sudden and just as deadly to life in the polar regions.
In a research published in Nature Communications, scientists from the University of Leeds and the British Antarctic Survey on Seymour Island in the Antarctic Peninsula were engaged in a six-year process of identifying more than 6,000 marine fossils ranging in age from 65 to 69 million-years-old.
They found that when grouped by age, the fossil collection shows a dramatic 65-70% reduction in the number of species living in the Antarctic 66 million years ago – around the time the mass extinction event occurred that wiped out the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period.
CONFLICTING THEORIES
Up until now, it was thought that the creatures living in the southernmost regions of the planet would have been in a less perilous position during the mass extinction event than those elsewhere on Earth.
It was thought that the poles were far enough from any of the hypothesized causes of the mass extinction event, whether its the much-popular asteroid impact in the Gulf of Mexico or extreme volcanism in the Deccan volcanic province in India.
It was also theorized that the species in the Antarctic would have had a hard enough time to survive, as a result of living in environments that were always strongly seasonal. For example, life near the Poles has to adapt to living in darkness for half of the year and to an irregular food supply.
What is the Bermuda Triangle? The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean in which ships, planes, and people are alleged to have mysteriously vanished.
For decades, the Atlantic Ocean’s fabled Bermuda Triangle has captured the human imagination with unexplained disappearances of ships, planes, and people.
Some speculate that unknown and mysterious forces account for the unexplained disappearances, such as extraterrestrials capturing humans for study; the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis; vortices that suck objects into other dimensions; and other whimsical ideas.
Some explanations are more grounded in science, if not in evidence. These include oceanic flatulence (methane gas erupting from ocean sediments) and disruptions in geomagnetic lines of flux.
Environmental considerations could explain many, if not most, of the disappearances. The majority of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle, and in the days prior to improved weather forecasting, these dangerous storms claimed many ships.
So looking for the facts behind the mystery of Bermuda Triangle? More than 1000 ships and planes have disappeared in the triangle area over the past five centuries and continue to do so. And all these happen when apparently there are no human errors, equipment failures or even natural disasters. Strangely, the ships and aircraft just vanish when everything seems to be okay.
Many believe that Devil is at play here and therefore call the area also as Devil's Triangle. The facts however are quite far from what is generally known or believed to be true. There are many stories and myths created through sheer imagination of writers who have used them rampantly to draw publicity to their books. In many cases, the facts got blurred.
Well, I have been digging deep into the incidents, and analyzing the facts and evidences to bring out the truth. This section is an account of those findings. So where is Bermuda Triangle located and how large is the area? Is there a map? And do you get to know when exactly you cross the line and enter the area?
By the simplest of all definitions, Bermuda Triangle is located off the South-Eastern coast of the United States and in the Atlantic Ocean. The three corners of the triangle are: Miami (Florida); San Juan (Puerto Rico); and Bermuda (a north-Atlantic island).
La planète Mars émerge d'un long âge glaciaire, selon des scientifiques
La planète Mars émerge d'un long âge glaciaire, selon des scientifiques
ESPACELeur recherche permet de mieux comprendre les variations climatiques de la Planète rouge, et en quoi elles diffèrent de l'évolution du climat terrestre...

Sur la Planète rouge, les glaces auraient commencé à reculer il y a 370.000 ans. Mars émerge en effet d'une longue période glaciaire, selon des mesures de ses calottes de glace polaires, ce qui pourrait aider à déterminer quand la quatrième planète de notre système solaire a été habitable. Cette découverte est basée sur des observations faites avec un radar à bord du Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter de la Nasa qui orbite la planète depuis dix ans.
La recherche, publiée jeudi dans la revue américaine Science, permet de mieux comprendre les variations climatiques au cours du temps et en quoi elles diffèrent de l'évolution du climat terrestre. Comme sur la Terre, Mars connaît des cycles saisonniers mais qui sont plus longs, ce qui agit sur la distribution de la glace.
Une accumulation de 87.000 kilomètres cube de glace, la plupart au pôle nord
Ces cycles pourraient aussi être plus prononcés sur la planète rouge. Cela s'explique par le fait que l'axe de rotation de Mars connaît de bien plus grandes variations allant jusqu'à 60 degrés sur des périodes s'étendant sur des centaines de milliers à des millions d'années. En comparaison, l'axe autour duquel tourne la Terre n'a varié que de 2 degrés sur les mêmes périodes.
Cette grande variabilité de son axe de rotation détermine les quantités de rayonnement solaire atteignant les différentes latitudes à la surface de la planète et y détermine la stabilité de la glace. Avec le réchauffement aux latitudes moyennes, les glaces se sont accumulées aux pôles.
Depuis la fin du dernier âge glaciaire il y a 370.000 ans environ, les chercheurs, dont Isaac Smith du Southwest Research Institute à Boulder dans le Colorado, ont calculé, en mesurant l'épaisseur de la calotte polaire, qu'il y avait eu une accumulation de 87.000 kilomètres cube de glace, la plupart au pôle nord. Ce volume est équivalent à une épaisseur de 60 centimètres si elle recouvrait l'ensemble de la planète.
«L'étude de la glaciologie sur Mars est importante pour l'exploration humaine»
Ces résultats permettent de comprendre l'histoire de l'accumulation de la glace aux pôles en fonction des axes de rotation de la planète et de ses orbites autour du soleil, estiment ces scientifiques. Ils faciliteront aussi l'élaboration de nouveaux modèles climatiques prenant en compte le mouvement des glaces entre les pôles et les latitudes moyennes durant les cycles climatiques.
Toutes ces données sont cruciales avant d'espérer poser un jour le pied sur Mars, alors que la Nasa envisage une première mission habitée vers la Planète rouge à l'horizon des années 2030. «L'étude de la glaciologie sur Mars est importante pour l'exploration humaine de la planète dans le futur, explique Isaac Smith, car l'eau sera essentielle pour permettre l'établissement d'un avant-poste habitable».

Alien Implant Mystery
Alien Implant Mystery
She sensed being lifted up into a bright light, and then unexpectedly, she filled the hypnotherapist’s office with a raw, primal scream: “No! No! No!”
This is where my involvement with Natalie’s implant begins. I am a two-time Emmy Award winning television Director researching and shooting a new television series about the alien presence amongst us and the human challenge of the abduction and implant phenomenon. While this topic is hugely complex and psychologically profound, my hope is to find scientific evidence offering tangible proof of an alien presence amongst us. There is no doubt in my mind that this subject transcends the 3-dimensions we can know through our five senses. That said; there are millions of people who claim to have been abducted who want hard answers to what they’ve undergone.
The woman in the attached pictures throughout this document is collaborating with me in the research of an unidentified object that suddenly appeared beneath the skin of her arm as a child. The outstanding characteristic of this 24-year old implant is that it manifested magnetic properties.
We recently had it surgically removed on camera.
My goal is to find out what it is made of; what it might be; and what unusual or possibly strange characteristics it exhibits. One can’t help but wonder if this may be a tracking device put in her arm since around age 10 for reasons unknown.
I met Natalie at a conference exploring topics about intelligently controlled aerial craft that cannot be identified, as well as topics exploring the possible visitation by alien races to our planet. We spoke together and Natalie shared her story with me.
As a 9 or 10-year-old little girl, she recalls waking up in the middle of the night from a sharp pain in her arm. There was a flash of light, and a sharp, sudden pain. She was frightened. She described being almost paralyzed, as if she couldn’t move.
In the morning she felt something under her skin. She showed the inflicted area to her mother but there was no visible entry wound, though a little bump could be felt beneath the upper part of her right arm. In the days that followed, her pediatrician examined the bump but as there was no pain or ongoing sense of irritation, it was left alone to be observed over time.
Many years passed. As an adult, Natalie once again sought out the opinion of a doctor. This time it was a dermatologist who commented:
“If it isn’t causing pain or getting larger, there is no medical reason to have it removed.”
For 24-years, the hard, capsule-like object never changed shape or size. It remained unobvious, beneath the skin, unless pinched to the surface — about 6 inches down from the top of her shoulder on the upper bicep just below the deltoid, in line with the inner part of the elbow.
Natalie always had a suspicious feeling about this bump. The shock in her childhood of waking from a sudden jolt in her arm was just one aspect. But there was something more. Natalie shared that along with her mother and brother, she has encountered UFO sightings periodically over the years. Equally of interest, Natalie’s father was a civilian contractor leading a Top Secret military project during her childhood. These experiences made Natalie wonder if the object beneath the surface of her skin was some sort of “implant”, perhaps alien in nature. It nagged at her consciousness for many, many years.
I asked Natalie if she could recall any details from her childhood experience. She could not. It was blocked from her memory. I told Natalie about my project and asked if she would be willing to undergo hypnosis to learn more about that experience. She agreed, and shared that she always wanted this object removed because of some strange, uncomfortable association experienced with it that was energetically interfering with her on some hard-to-define level.
I arranged for Natalie to undergo a hypnotic regression session with a leading hypnotherapist who works in the field of UFO/Abduction-related experiences.
Before meeting up with Natalie for the regression session, I asked her to place a powerful neodymium magnet to her arm exactly at the spot where the object rests below the surface of her skin. It attracted the magnet and held it in place. Placing the magnet anywhere else on her arm, it would immediately fall to the ground. Only in that one spot did the magnet hold firmly in place.
Natalie then held a copper wire bracelet, the kind many people wear for arthritic pain, over the same spot. What Natalie then experienced was an extreme shift in temperature from the object transitioning from warm to hot very rapidly.
In retrospect, I should have tested these properties in a scientific lab before surgically removing the sub dermal object. Unfortunately, I didn’t have access to do so at that time and after many doctors refused to assist with my project, I wanted to act quickly once I found one willing to help.
During the hypnotic regression Natalie was brought back to the moment of that young 9 or 10-year-old child lying in bed. She remembered some beings surrounding her but could not identify their faces. She sensed being lifted up into a bright light, and then unexpectedly, she filled the hypnotherapist’s office with a raw, primal scream: “No! No! No!”
In that moment with cameras rolling, Natalie relived the terrifying memory of herself as a small child being overpowered by a force and presence scaring her beyond control.
It was so intensely haunting that Lesley Mitchell-Clarke, the hypnotherapist, brought Natalie out from the depths of hypnosis and back to her present moment with us in the office as agreed upon by them both prior to the session.
The first thing Natalie recounted after awaking from the regression was a recurring dream from a very young age about “having a baby or losing a baby.” She was uncertain, other than it was a recurring dream that she related immediately. She then described the moment she felt the implant being inserted. “It was like… Bam! And that’s what woke me up!” She recalled a scene with dark grey metal walls and a white sheet, or perhaps white uniforms. She felt like “they”, whomever “they” are, “came for something.”
After witnessing the intensity of Natalie’s experience, we spoke together and she expressed that after 24-years, she was ready to have the implant removed.
It’s a mystery. And Natalie needs answers. What is this implanted object? What is it made of? And why does it attract magnets? Is it chemical, biological, or elemental in material, and if so, is there any technology to it and what might that be? Also, are there are any isotopes or rare metals that may suggest it has origins beyond our world? Is it manufactured or is it natural?
So on August 26, 2014 we attended the medical clinic of my childhood friend and cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Benchetrit (M.D. FRCS).
The X-Ray copy that Natalie scanned and emailed to the surgeon revealed a dark shadow, suggesting that there may be something metallic inside. Natalie told the doctor about the magnetic properties attracting the embedded object. He was curious and placed a little neodymium magnet to her arm. When he observed with his own eyes that it stuck firmly to the spot on her arm, he immediately commented:
“So its obviously a metallic foreign body of some sort.”
Natalie was prepped for surgery, a procedure that lasted less than 10-minutes. While removing the implant the surgeon observed:
“It looks synthetic. It doesn’t look like something that was just random, just a shard or a piece of shrapnel or anything like that. It looks like it was made. But it is covered in fibrous tissue so it’s very hard to tell for sure what it is. It will be interesting to see what the lab comes up with.”
What he removed was a 5 by 2-millimetres object — like two tiny balls joined by fibrous skin. The doctor described how the object was encased in very sticky, very thick collagen.
Looking at the object in the solution of Formalin, it seemed to have thread-like strands in the tissue, but are they threads of tissue or threads of metal?
This object was assimilated by Natalie’s body for 24-years. There was no rejection, no discomfort. She experienced a sense of relief once it was removed and a deep sense of emotional contentment.
I discovered a strange anomaly immediately after extracting the object from Natalie’s arm.
There was an immediate lack of magnetism— neither from her arm nor from the implant.
On Natalie’s skin I personally felt the subtle magnetic pull of the tiny disc shaped neodymium magnet. Once the implant was removed and placed inside the bottle of Formalin (a liquid used as embalming fluid and for the preservation of tissue samples) there was no more magnetic attraction when magnets were placed to the glass container either beside or beneath the implant.
How did the magnetism dissipate and what caused it in the first place?
Similar implants removed by Dr. Roger Leir and examined by his team of science associates, Steve Colbern and Dr. Alex Mosier PhD, revealed fascinating results:
Perhaps one of the most fascinating facts was that these objects were magnetic in nature, some gave off a radio frequency of 14.7 MHz
Some of the objects they examined had commonalities with meteorite fragments, metals such as Gallium, Germanium, Platinum, Ruthenium, Rhodium, and Iridium.
They also noted a “deviation of nickel from terrestrial rations that the analysis lab couldn’t explain”, that some of these implants contained nickel with an isotopic ratio not found on planet Earth. They also found nano-fibers very similar to carbon nano-tubes, which suggests the fragments were engineered or manufactured.
All the individuals tested positive to X-rays and CT scans showing metallic or lesser dense foreign objects, and there were no signs of inflammationat all.
This left me in a state of wonder: Can this mysterious object that I am now in possession of possibly validate the abduction and implant phenomenon as a tangible reality?
To learn more I contacted a leading University where I consulted with the Department of Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and the Institute for Materials Research.
After two full days of prepping the implant for analysis we visited two different departments. One was to examine the pathology of the tissues. The other was to analyze and determine the material and elemental composition of the object using SEM/EDS, or Scanning Electron Microscopy with X-ray microanalysis.
To prepare the implant for analysis we split the sample in half where it looked like strands of thin tissue were joining two bulbous clumps of thicker material. We then placed the divided sample in hardened paraffin so as to hold it firmly in place while slicing 3-microns thin pieces (thinner than a human hair) for pathology analysis as well as SEM/EDS.
As we cut through the implant in layers only a few microns thick, or finer than a single strand of hair, the blade became damaged once it passed through the initial layers of skin. It hit something hard enough to damage the blade multiple times. The pathologist reacted with surprise and this, to me, was initially very encouraging. As tiny as the implant was, we all thought; this looks like metal, though it was too early to be certain.
With a cleanly flat surface revealed, we brought it to Microscopy and placed it inside the Scanning Electron Microscope for material analysis. What was learned is that the implant is made up of primarily Calcium, Carbon, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and in lesser amounts, Sulfur, Magnesium, and Nitrogen.
In short, we are looking at bone and cartilage.
There are no metals or any other rare elements similar to those found in Dr. Leir’s implant samples examined in California. The Microscopy specialist suggested that it is possible, while playing as a child, Natalie may have banged her arm and a very tiny bone fragment became dislodged resulting in the cartilage growing around it. She has seen this before in young children.
That said; two anomalies are of interest.
Though we learned that the material is bone and cartilage, the anomaly remains that blood vessel(s) still actively fed the tissue after all these years. That was “highly unusual”, commented the Pathologist, though “not unheard of.”
More than that, the fact that this bone tissue responded to magnetism under the skin still remains a mystery. It is suggested that I follow up with a physicist who is knowledgeable about magnetism for possible explanations. In the words of the Biomedical Engineering Pathologist:
“We learned that the specimen contained a fibrous capsule around a fragment of bone that had obviously been lodged in the arm for a very long time.The fibrous capsule looked typical except for the fact that there was some blood vessel ingrowth into the fibrous capsule.”
“A fibrous capsule is essentially the body’s way of walling off an object that it determines is foreign. What happens is that a foreign object is in the body. Typically the body tries to chew it up and spit it out or get rid of it. When it can’t do that it creates a wall around it. That is what the fibrous capsule is, that wall around this foreign piece of material.”
“The body is recognizing it as foreign even if it is from the same patient because it is not in the location it is typically supposed to be.”
“No guesses as to why it was magnetic. Definitely a mystery!”
Furthermore, what we also learned was that there was an absence of any immune cells (white blood cells) anywhere in the sample — something difficult to understand, as stated by the Pathologist:
“In my work, I see blood vessel formation all the time. However, when a material is tolerated by the body (as yours was ie no immune cells), and has been encapsulated for a sufficient period of time (say 3 months), most of these blood vessels are resorbed and disappear. I was speaking intuitively when I said I was not expecting to find any. If most are gone after 3 months, surely there ought to be none after 25 years! I have no better answer to give. If you want a quote, I will commit to my previous statements that blood vessels were not expected, and I was surprised to find them.”
When the Pathologist himself is surprised, how do we make sense of this finding?
On the topic of magnetism, the Co-Director at the School of Biomedical Engineering commented:
“This can’t be normal bone or cartilage as both are diamagnetic and weakly repel magnetic fields.”
He invited me back to the university for further testing on equipment that he and his associates created based upon a machine in Russia. He wants to see the very core of the object and not just a thin slice from it.
He also suggested that if there were any metals coating or even integrated within the object beneath Natalie’s skin, after 6-weeks immersed in the Formalin solution it is possible they were leached out.
There is more to learn about this anomaly and scientific analysis is still ongoing.
Conclusions? While the magnetic pull was not analyzed in a scientific lab, prior to surgically removing the implant Dr. Benchetrit himself placed the magnet on Natalie’s arm and commented;
“So its obviously a metallic foreign body of some sort.”
Questions still remain:
Why would there be a robust network of capillaries going into bone if the bone is a “dead bone chip” from 20 years ago?
And more outstandingly:
How did a magnet stick to a foreign object implanted within the arm before surgery if it is only bone and cartilage? Bone and cartilage do not attract magnetism!
Further testing remains to be done.
Until then, the truth behind Natalie’s implant remains an unsolved mystery.

Is This 10-Million Year Old Sculpture Connected To The Varginha UFO Incident?
Is This 10-Million Year Old Sculpture Connected To The Varginha UFO Incident?
The archaeologist from China smiled, pointed towards the sky and said; "Why do you think we are called the Dragon people?"
Considered the “Roswell” of Brazil, the Varginha UFO Incident of January 1996 refers to a series of events involving the alleged sighting and capture by the military of one or more extraterrestrial beings in the town of Varginha, in southwest Minas Gerais region of Brazil.
Media attention was extensive with coverage by news and television outlets worldwide. Tremendous detail about the exact timeline of events have been described in articles and books.
I too covered the event 7-years later as a Director for a TV mystery series.
This is what I found.
At 3:30 on Saturday afternoon, January 20, 1996, three girls (aged 14 to 21) walked home through this field.
(The field where Lilliane and her sister and friend witnessed the strange creature – Photo: Sid Goldberg 2002)
Lilliane de Silva, her sister Valquíria, and their friend Kátia Andrade Xavier were the primary witnesses. I met up with Lilliane in that very same field where we recreated the scene for our cameras.
Lilliane told us that they unexpectedly noticed some strange creature by the tree. She said to the other girls: “Look!”
When they saw it move they became so frightened that they ran off.
(Lilliane retelling her story for camera – Photo Sid Goldberg 2002)
Lillian described the creature as dark brown, reddish brown, with a big head. There were 3 protrusions or horns coming out of the top of its head. It had no hair but it had greasy oily substance all over its skin. What she noticed first were the eyes. They were “huge” and “red”. Also outstanding to Lilliane was the putrid, ammonia-like stench in the air. The Silva sisters said they ran from fear to tell their mother that they had seen the “devil”.
(The mask made for the TV reenactment of the creature that Lilliane witnessed based on drawings and descriptions – Photo Sid Goldberg)
Based upon the many drawings and first-hand descriptions of the ET, our TV production art department created a rubber mask and suit to recreate what the three girls allegedly witnessed.
Lilliane said it was unlike any animal, creature, or human alive.
“It was the ugliest thing I had ever seen”.
She said it was sitting only about 5-meters or 16-feet away when she saw it.
The girls immediately ran home to tell Lilliane’s mother what happened.
Mrs. Silva returned to the field with her daughters Llliane and Valquíria approximately 20 minutes later.
(Lillian’s mother, Mrs. De Silva recounting her experience – Photo Sd Goldberg 2002)
The alien or “creature” as they referred to it, was no longer there. She only saw footprints on the ground but smelled something so rancid, similar to ammonia, that it stayed in her nose for three days.
We asked Mrs. Silva to draw what she saw and this V-shaoped footprint is what she produced.
(Mrs. De Silva drawing the print in the earth that she witnessed in the field when Lilliane brought her back to the same spot – Photo Sid Goldberg 2002)
The night before the “creature” appeared, a farmer and his wife reported seeing something strange in the night sky located 10 kilometers (6 miles) northwest from the town of Varginha, midway between Varginha and Tres Coracoes.
It was just after midnight when Eurico Rodrigues De Freitas and his wife Oralina were startled by all the farm animals. The animals were uncharacteristically vocal and stampeding within their stalls as if in fear.
(Oralina and Eurico Rodrgurs De Freitas recounting their UFO encounter – Photo Sid Goldberg 2002)
Oralina got up, looked through the window, and saw a strange object over their cattle. She called her husband. He described seeing something the size of a school bus. It was long, cylindrical, and shaped like a cigar, hovering about 5-meters above him or just a little higher than the trees. He said he didn’t know exactly what color it was because the object was surrounded by a fog or smoke, as if encircling the craft. Oralina thought it could have been grey in color, though it was difficult to tell at night.
What Oralina told us next evoked a very powerful emotional response from her. She described a light shining down from the craft over her husband Eurico. She said it left a rash or burn-like mark on his chest and legs for several days after. Tears came to her eyes as she relived those moments with us.
I also spoke with a local researcher who was on the scene the days following. He said that he checked out the area 5 days after the girls’ alien sighting but by then rain had washed away the alien’s footprints.
People living nearby reported seeing the police, army, and fire department taping off the area.
(Virginia Fire Department taping off the area for TV reenactment – Photo Sid Goldberg 2002)
The police and fire department didn’t want to speak about the incident. However off-camera, speaking very quietly through my interpreter, one of the senior firemen on the scene at that time shared his firsthand experience with me. He and his team were the first responders who secured the area. This was two days later when another creature was allegedly found lying along a road. Three military trucks arrived to retrieve it.
What he saw was very similar in description to what the girls described — deep reddish brown, small, hurt, and with a terribly foul odor. The military took over the scene and quickly took the creature away. He said that the American military was in charge of the operation. He shared this with me one to one and then agreed to speak later on camera when my crew was in place.
Once other firemen gathered and they saw the video cameras that were setting up for the interview, on-camera, the same fireman denied seeing anything. Rather, they never even received a call about an extraterrestrial.
(Fireman who taped off the area before the military arrived – Photo Sid Goldberg 2002)
As frustrated as I was after the blatant denial by the Sergeant at the fire station, I didn’t think the words “cover-up” until I learned from Lilliane’s mother that she had an unusual visit a few days later.
Soon after the sighting three men in dark glasses appeared at her house. The men insisted that the girls lie about what they saw and even insisted that they didn’t see anything at all. The men offered money to keep them quiet but Mrs. Silva didn’t accept anything because she knew the girls were telling the truth.
(Home of Lilliane, her sister and mother – Photo Sid Goldberg 2002)
Did aliens really land in the city of Varginha in Brazil? While the skeptics suggest what the girls saw was a rat-like creature called a capybara, but why would a rat the size of a dog attract the attention of the fire department to tape off the field like a crime scene? Lillian’s mom knows that the girls saw something.
They weren’t the only ones.
The official version from the Brazilian Government is that nothing happened. They denied any claims of being involved in the capture of Extraterrestrial Biological Entities (EBEs) but those who closely researched the event and spoke with many more witnesses, accused the government of a cover-up.
The case could easily have been swept away as an urban legend, if it was not for the following evidence:
NORAD warning of a UFO going down.
Around midnight between January 19-20 NORAD (North American Air Defense Command) contacts their Brazilian counterpart, CINDACTA (I Centro INtegrado de Defesa Aerea e Controle de Trafego Aereo or Integrated Center on Air Defense and Air Traffic Control). They are informed that a UFO is coming down over southern parts of Minas Gerais state. This is witnessed and leaked by both a Brazilian Air Force member and an employee at the radar facility at Air Force Base VI Comar, who received the information.
A UFO is believed to have crashed between 1:30 AM and 5:00 AM that night according to an American civilian who was present when the cigar-shaped UFO was loaded aboard a flatbed truck in the early morning of January 20th, according to Brazil’s UFO Magazine.
But what does all this have to do with a 10-million year old sculpture?
Based upon this artistic rendition of the alien witnessed by the three girls in Varginha, by artist, Thomas Feiner, we created a rubber outfit for the TV recreation scene.
(The rubber mask of the ET fitted to a child to reenact the scene for TV – Photo Sid Goldberg 2002)
Look very closely at the three ridges along the head of the Varginha EBE that we created for television and compare it to this sculpture brought to the USA by an archaeologist representing the Government Of China who explained to me that these 6-inch jade sculptures were dated to 10-million years old — not the jade itself but the broken crystals where the jade was shaped into a sculpture. The resemblance is too similar to ignore!
(Jade statues that are allegedly 10-million years old presented by Chinese scientist at the Citizen Hearing For Disclosure, 2013 – Photo by Sid Goldberg)
I asked; “Who was around 10-million years ago to carve these sculptures, and what were the carvings of?”
The archaeologist from China, a representative of the Chinese government then smiled, pointed towards the sky and said; “Why do you think we are called the Dragon people?”
According to Wikipedia, The ancient Chinese self-identified as ‘the descendants of the dragon’ because the Chinese dragon is an imagined reptile that is the evolution ancestor of chi energy and other common animals.[5][6]
So is there a link between these 10-million year old sculptures and the Varginha UFO Incident? Might we have been visited by ET throughout our human history? Look at the pictures and you decide!
UPCOMING: How did the scientists from China date these jade statues to 10 million years?

2,000 Year-Old Book of Giants Describes How the Nephilim Were Wiped Out
2,000 Year-Old Book of Giants Describes How the Nephilim Were Wiped Out
More than 60 years ago, excavations at the Qumran Caves revealed almost one thousand ancient scrolls that offered important glimpses into humanity’s past. Archaeologists were stumped to find one unusual text among these, a scroll that offers clues regarding the demise of the Nephilim. It is called The Book of Giants.
The Bible makes several references to the Nephilim and most of them can be found in the book of Genesis. The bulk of information pertaining to these giants of old come from the apocryphal Book of Enoch. This ancient Jewish religious work is attributed to Noah’s great-grandfather, although some scholars date parts of it to around 300 BC.
Enoch is a puzzling character, to say the least. The book of Genesis tells us he lived on Earth for 365 years, before being taken by God; “he walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him.” During his time down here, our planet was also inhabited by ‘angels’ who interacted freely with humans, eventually interbreeding with the “daughters of man” and giving birth to a race of unnaturally strong and giant hybrids called the Nephilim.
The origin of the word Nephilim isn’t fully understood but scholars have proposed several etymologies: “the fallen”, “apostates”, or “those that cause others to fall down.” Regardless of their name, the Nephilim have always been a synonym for giants.
The Book of Giants found in the Qumran Caves offer a perspective that is different from that of the Book of Enoch. Although incomplete, the scroll fragments paint a grim picture: the Nephilim become aware that, as a result of their violent and deviant ways, they face imminent destruction—and that scares them enough to ask Enoch to speak on their behalf in front of God.
The text begins by detailing how the Nephilim plagued the Earth and all that lived on it. But once they all start receiving prophetic dreams of doom, fear seeps into their hearts. The first one to have these dreams was Mahway, the titan son of the angel Barakel. In his dream, he saw a tablet being submerged in water. When the tabled emerges, all but three names have been washed away. This symbolizes the Flood and subsequent destruction of all but Noah’s sons.
At the time, this fact had not become obvious to the Nephilim so they debated the meaning of Mahway’s dream, but were unsuccessful in interpreting the signs. Soon after, two more giants, Ohya and Hahya, the sons of the fallen angel Shemyaza begin having similar dreams; they dreamed of a tree being uprooted except for three of its roots.
Following this, the rest of the group of giants began having apocalyptic dreams:
Thereupon two of them had dreams and the sleep of their eye fled from them, and they arose and came to […and told] their dreams, and said in the assembly of [their comrades] the monsters […In] my dream I was watching this very night [and there was a garden…] gardeners and they were watering […two hundred trees and] large shoots came out of their root […] all the water, and the fire burned all [the garden…] They found the giants to tell them the dream…”
The giants now realize the prophetic nature of their dreams and seek help from Enoch. Unfortunately, Enoch had already disappeared from the face of the Earth so the Nephilim elected one of their members to undertake a cosmic journey in order to find him.
[Mahway] mounted up in the air like strong winds, and flew with his hands like eagles […he left behind] the inhabited world and passed over Desolation, the great desert […]and Enoch saw him and hailed him, and Mahway said to him […] hither and thither a second time to Mahway […]The giants await your words, and all the monsters of the earth. If […]has been carried […] from the days of […]their […] and they would be added […] we would know from you their meaning […] two hundred trees that from heaven came down…”
Unfortunately, parts of the scrolls were damaged beyond repair but the general direction of the text is obvious. One of the Nephilim traveled outside of Earth in search of Enoch and his vision-interpreting powers. The text becomes very interesting if we substitute a few terms and regard it not as an allegorical account, but the description of a real event whose meaning became muddled over time.
If we consider flying “with his hands like eagles” a metaphor, can we hypothesize that Mahway took off from Earth in a space ship? In this case, does “Desolation, the great desert” refer to interstellar space? It depends on how far we’re willing to interpret a fragmentary, 2,000 year-old scroll but ancient alien theorists do more than just take it at face value.
Enoch sends Mahway back where he came from, promising him he will speak to God on their behalf. Unfortunately for the Nephilim, the tablets Enoch sent them as a response did not bring good news.
The scribe Enoch […] a copy of the second tablet that [Enoch] sent in the very hand of Enoch the noted scribe […In the name of God the great] and holy one, to Shemyaza and all [his companions…]Let it be known to you that not […] and the things you have done, and that your wives […] they and their sons and the wives of [their sons] by your licentiousness on the earth, and there has been upon you […and the land is crying out] and complaining about you and the deeds of your children […] the harm that you have done to it.
[…] Until Raphael arrives, behold, destruction [is coming, a great flood, and it will destroy all living things] and whatever is in the deserts and the seas. And the meaning of the matter […] upon you for evil. But now, loosen the bonds bi[nding you to evil…] and pray.”
Whether they prayed or not, the text cannot say. But they don’t appear to be here anymore, once again proving the effectiveness of a global flood.
Video toont vreemd object bij Amerikaanse legerbasis in UFO-hotspot
Video toont vreemd object bij Amerikaanse legerbasis in UFO-hotspot
Het internet was afgelopen weekend in de ban van een vreemd object in de lucht bij een legerbasis in Dayton in de Amerikaanse staat Ohio. Velen vragen zich af of het een UFO is. Dat meldt het tv-programma Fox & Friends.
“Het lijkt alsof het met de wolken meebeweegt,” zegt een vrouw in het filmpje. De 13 minuten durende video toont een object dat boven vliegbasis Wright-Patterson hangt en vervolgens verdwijnt. De luchtmacht deed tussen 1947 en 1969 onderzoek naar UFO’s en aliens op de basis.
Een stel spotte het object toen ze vanuit hun huis naar de zonsondergang keken, meldde de Daily Mirrorzaterdag. De Britse krant stuurde het filmpje naar Tyler Glockner van Secure Team 10, die zichzelf omschrijft als iemand die aandacht besteedt aan alles wat te maken heeft met het buitenaardse en zij die proberen informatie daarover verborgen te houden voor het volk.
Glockner claimt dat hetzelfde object twee keer eerder is gezien in de lucht boven Dayton, aldus de krant. Vooral in het westen van de Verenigde Staten worden veel UFO’s gezien, zo blijkt uit onderstaand kaartje.
This is an unusual three arm UFO near our sun yesterday. It was found by UFO researcher Streetcap1 of Youtube. The UFO does have three obvious arms, and we can see that the UFO is turning in a clockwise motion as it moves because those arms are turned to face counter clockwise, as if a strong force pushed them this way. I wonder if this one is a biological entity?

Giant Gun Hauled Down Road Mystery Has Been Solved, May 2016, Videos, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: Sept 5, 2014, solved May 29, 2016 Location of sighting: unknown This giant set of guns was heading down the street causing quite a ruckus for the onlookers behind the big rig truck. May people screamed the photos were fake, but it really was real. It really does look like some kind of DARPA or other back ops company made weapon, but fortunately the person had some viewers that got to the bottom of it this week and found that the weapons are actually from a Hollywood movie set. Its actually a pod from Transformers Age of Extinction (2014) directed by Michael Bay. Very awesome and I will place a video down below that had it in the first 3 seconds of it. Can you imagine taking your kids to school in the morning behind this massive gun turret and trying to explain to your kid what it is? Yeah, between the laughing and the OMGs, that would be a kick.

An American, World War II-era aircraft that had been missing in action (MIA) since July 1944 was recently located in the waters surrounding the Pacific Island nation of Palau.
The TBM-1C Avenger is one of several dozen U.S. aircraft scattered in the coral reefs or concealed within dense mangrove forests along Palau's island chain. This latest find adds to the growing list of wrecks discovered by Project Recover, an effort dedicated to the ongoing search for MIA aircraft and associated Americans since World War II.
"The importance of our mission is reinforced with each new discovery of a missing aircraft," Eric Terrill, an oceanographer from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, one of Project Recover's three founding entities, said in a statement.

"But this is more than reconnecting with history; it's about locating the missing to enable the U.S. government to bring them home for a proper burial," Terrill said. "With potential recovery sites around the world, Project Recover and its team of researchers and volunteers are expanding to intensify its searches using modern science and technology."
The project uses a combination of oceanographic technology and advanced archival research methods to uncover the wrecks and possible information about the airmen linked to the downed craft. Autonomous underwater robots equipped with sonar map the ocean floor, locating sites of interest for human divers to then scour for wreckage.
This detailed information is then shared with the Department of Defense's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), in hopes of notifying the families of these missing soldiers.
Dan Friedkin, founder and chairman of the Air Force Heritage Flight Foundation, helped make this latest find in Palau possible via a substantial financial commitment.
"As someone who gained a passion for flying and admiration for our country's brave service members as a child, I will continue to support the efforts of Project Recover and their partner organizations," Friedkin said in the statement. "Every family member impacted by the loss of a service member deserves this type of closure."

The U.S. military's plans to build a satellite-launching robotic space plane are moving forward. On Monday (May 23), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) put out its official call for proposals for the futuristic space plane design.
The goal of the Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) project is to build a reusable space plane that, at optimal operation, should be able to fly 10 times in 10 days, at a cost of no more than $5 million per flight. Typically, space vehicles are not fully reusable, and the pieces that are reused need to undergo time-consuming safety checks between flights. XS-1 would be used primarily as a cheap and fast way to deliver satellites to orbit, DARPA officials said.
DARPA is already working with three groups on designs for XS-1. This week's announcement sets a deadline for those groups to submit their design proposals (July 22). In early 2017, DARPA is expected to select one group to move forward with the construction of an XS-1 prototype for flight testing. [DARPA's Experimental XS-1 Spaceplane in Pictures]
The XS-1 program has four primary technical goals, according to DARPA. The first is a plane that can do 10 flights in 10 days, and demonstrate "aircraft-like access to space." Second, the plane must be able to deliver a payload into low Earth orbit, which means it has to be able to move very fast. It must be able to launch a payload weighing up to 1,500 lbs. (680 kilograms) and have the capability to upgrade to 3,000-lb. (1,360 kg) payloads. And, each flight of the space plane, even with its heaviest payload, can't cost more than $5 million.

In an era of declining budgets and adversaries’ evolving capabilities, quick, affordable and routine access to space is increasingly critical for both national and economic security," DARPA officials wrote in a statement on the agency's website. "Current satellite launch systems, however, require scheduling years in advance for an extremely limited inventory of available slots. Moreover, launches often cost hundreds of millions of dollars each, due in large part to the massive amounts of dedicated infrastructure and large number of personnel required."
"DARPA created its Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) program to help overcome these challenges and create a new paradigm for more routine, responsive and affordable space operations, reducing the time to get capabilities to space," officials said in the statement.
The XS-1 program began in 2013, and initially DARPA aimed to make the first test flights in 2018. More recent estimates put the first flights sometime in 2019 or 2020.
The program is currently broken into three phases. Phase I sought to "evaluate the technical feasibility and methods for achieving the program's goals," according to the DARPA website. In 2014 and 2015, during Phase 1, the agency awarded funds to three groups working on XS-1 designs: Northrop Grumman, partnered with Virgin Galactic; Boeing, partnered with Blue Origin; and Masten Space Systems, partnered with XCOR Aerospace. The three groups have released simple, digital renderings of what their XS-1 designs would look like.
DARPA announced in April that it had received funding from the Obama Administration to move into Phase 2. This week's announcement puts a final deadline on XS-1 design proposals, which can include previously tested technologies or totally new ideas. The call for proposals is open to anyone, not just those companies that have already received funding.
The military has another reusable space plane in operation: The X-37B space plane, which hops a ride aboard a rocket and can then orbit the Earth for months at a time. Built by Boeing, the two X-37Bs have launched on a total of four missions in six years. Just what they're doing up there is a mystery; most X-37B payloads are classified.

The Ancient Anunnaki and mankind’s Forbidden history
The Ancient Anunnaki and mankind’s Forbidden history
There are some things related to mankind’s lost history and our mysterious amnesic past that is not being talked about in modern history.
The Ancient Anunnaki and mankind’s Forbidden history
The story behind the Anunnaki – Those who Anu sent from Heaven to Earth’ – is far more mysterious than anyone is willing to accept. In recent years, and mostly because of the Ancient Astronaut Theory – which proposes that Earth has been visited by advanced Alien civilizations from thousands of years – the truth behind the Anunnaki has gained a lot of importance among millions of readers and viewers around the globe.
While many remain skeptical about the existence of the Anunnaki, their influence in the human development and the reasons why they came to Earth, millions of people around the globe firmly believe that the Anunnaki are the missing link in human history, development, and abrupt evolution.
During an excavation of the Biblical city of Nineveh, a team led by Austen Henry Layard discovered the ruins of the ancient Assyrian library of Ashurbanipal. One of the most important discoveries made during the excavation were a series of cuneiform tablets called the Enűma Eliš, or better known as “The Seven Tablets of Creation”.
The Seven Tablets of Creation tell the story about a group of gods called the Anunnaki who came from the heaven to create the human race.
Information about the Anunnaki is extremely limited and most of the history surrounding their existence are filled with controversy. Today when we read or seek information about the Sumer and the Anunnaki or the people that inhabited that part of the world we come across controversial author Zecharia Sitchin. In 1976, author Sitchin published his personal translations of the Sumerian texts in a series of books called “The Earth Chronicles”.
Are the Ancient Anunnaki the missing link in our amnesic history?
According to Sitchin, the clay tablets describe an alien race known as the Anunnaki who came to Earth to mine gold. Sitchin practically suggests that extraterrestrial visited earth in the past because their home-planet needed gold to survive.
In 1976, the late Zecharia Sitchin raised a controversy with the publication of his book “The Twelfth Planet”. In this and subsequent books, Sitchin presented his translations of ancient Sumerian texts which tell an incredible story regarding the origins of mankind on Earth, stories that are completely different to those that most of us learned in school.
The New York times even talked about Nibiru in 1982:
Something out there beyond the farthest reaches of the known solar system seems to be tugging at Uranus and Neptune. Some gravitational force keeps perturbing the two giant planets, causing irregularities in their orbits. The force suggests a presence far away and unseen, a large object that may be the long- sought Planet X. … The last time a serious search of the skies was made it led to the discovery in 1930 of Pluto, the ninth planet.
This year, astronomers detected the long lost planet of our solar system. They have called it “Planet Nine.” The enigmatic Planet (X) orbits our sun at such a distance that it needs between 10,000 – 20,000 years to complete a single orbit around it.
The authors, of the study Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin, suggest that the smaller bodies located on the edges of the solar system appear to be influenced by the gravity of a hidden planet – a “massive perturber.”
Deciphering history… piece by piece
Today, the Anunnaki are considered by many people around the globe as the “founding fathers” of civilization and mankind. Some archeologists even suggest that the Anunnaki have a very important history in south America and the Pre-Inca and Inca civilization. (Remember the Fuente Magna Bowl?) Modern-day archeology does not agree with these theories even though there is plenty of evidence.
It seems that everywhere we look on our planet, we find pieces of history that point towards a far more enigmatic past than what mainstream scholars are willing to accept. This is mainly because we are living in a limited informative environment. Not all the details regarding ancient mankind’s past are documented and presented to society. There are some ‘gaps’ in our history that cannot be explained by mainstream scholars. But, according to the ancient astronaut theory, these enigmatic ‘gaps’ in mankind’s ancient history can be perfectly explained and rationally approached by mainstream scholars, who continue presenting us with a linear – one-way street – when it comes to mankind’s history. This is why we won’t hear about the Anunnaki and their importance in human development in modern-day society, as we are being blindfolded by many mainstream researchers who continue with their close-minded approach while trying to understand the enigmatic past of our ancestors and their incredible achievements.
The Anunnaki Timeline – Coming to Earth: (According to Sitchin)
450,000 B.C. After long wars, the atmosphere of Nibiru began to deteriorate and became a hostile place for life, The Anunnaki needed gold to repair their atmosphere. According to researchers, we can use gold nanoparticles to repair our damaged ozone layer.
445,000 A.C. The Anunnaki aliens landed on Earth and established their base in Eridu, wanting to extract gold from the Persian Gulf. They were led by Enki, son of Anu.
416,000 B.C. Gold production fell, which made Anu come to Earth. Beside him, his other son Enlil arrived. Anu decided that mining would take place in Africa and promoted Enlil in charge of the Terran mission.
400,000 A. C. In southern Mesopotamia were seven developed nations. Among the most important were: “Sipar”, “Nippur” and “Shuruppak”. After the metal was refined, the ore was transported from Africa with ‘ships’ and sent into orbit.

Light Behaving Badly: Strange Beams Reveal Hitch in Quantum Mechanics
Light Behaving Badly: Strange Beams Reveal Hitch in Quantum Mechanics
By Tia Ghose, Senior Writer

A hidden property of corkscrew, spiraled beams of light could put a hitch in quantum mechanics.
The photons, or light particles, inside these light-based Möbius strips spin with a momentum previously thought to be impossible. The findings could shake up some of the assumptions inquantum mechanics, the rules that govern the menagerie of tiny subatomic particles.
"This is a sort of fairly basic property of light, and we've shown it's not working the way people thought it would," said study co-author Paul Eastham, a physicist at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland. [Wacky Physics: The Coolest Little Particles in Nature]
Hollow beams of light
The research was spurred by findings from roughly two centuries ago, when Irish physicist and astronomer William Hamilton and his colleague Humphrey Lloyd predicted that crystals with certain internal arrangements of their atoms would create a hollow tube of light if the incident light hit the crystal at just the right angle.
In honor of the 200th anniversary of this discovery, Eastham and his colleagues decided to probe the theoretical underpinnings of this phenomenon. He began to wonder what this type of hollow light beam implied for the angular momentum, or spin, of light particles that made up the ray. As he worked through the math, he realized something strange: The photons inside the conical ray would have an angular momentum of one-half of Planck's constant, the fundamental constant that governs the relationship between energy and wavelength.
But that seemed impossible, given that the equations of quantum mechanics implied that light particles could have spins that were multiples of the fundamental constant (for instance, twice Planck's constant, negative three times Planck's constant, and so on).
Half-spin photons
To see if his calculations would be borne out in reality, the team tested the theory. They sent a laser beam through a crystal at a precise angle, and then used a mainstay optical device called an interferometer to split the beams of light and sort them according to their spin.
Sure enough, the photons, when measured, had angular momentums equal to one-half Planck's constant and minus one-half Planck's constant, respectively, the researchers reported online April 29 in the journal Science Advances.
The findings are fascinating because they imply that light particles don't behave as they're predicted to, said study co-author Kyle Ballantine, a physicist at Trinity College Dublin.
"All particles can be divided into two fundamental groups: Bosons, including photons in all measurements to date, have integer [whole number] angular momentum; and fermions [such as electrons] have half-integer," Ballantine told Live Science in an email. "This distinction leads to very different quantum behavior. Our result shows that we can make beams of photons which behave like fermions, a completely different form of matter."
Still, the new results don't reduce the significance of Planck's constant or tear down the entire edifice of subatomic physics, Eastham said.
"We haven't broken quantum mechanics," Eastham told Live Science.
However, the results are still so new that it's not clear exactly what they suggest, Eastham said. One immediate implication: The findings could affect quantum computing and cryptography, both of which would rely on statistics regarding subatomic particles that may need to be rethought, he said.
Is it possible that mankind was brought to Earth as part of an alien experiment on evolution?
The following list outlines reasons why humans may not be native to this planet, and may have been brought here by an extraterrestrial race who escaped a destroyed world.
1. Sunlight
Humans, in contrast with other species, cannot sunbath for more than a given time per day without getting sunburned. This indicates that the human body was not designed for constant exposure to the sun. The same can be said for our eyes, our eyes are very sensitive to the sunlight around us and without being taught safe procedures, our eyes would be damaged at an early age.
2. Bad backs
The problems that mankind faces with back/spine problems are a clear indication that our bodies are not built so perfectly as the natural world would lead us to believe. It could bode questions that our original environment (for humans) may not have been surrounded by such heavy gravity. Earth’s heavier gravity puts strain on the skeleton and the result could be the reason our bodies suffer from such pains, we are used to an atmosphere that is lighter then this one.
3. Illnesses
Illness strikes us all, some scientists have debated that our bodies get weak because our bodies are set to a 25 hour per day environment instead of 24 as on Earth, and we have not adapted yet. The older theories add to this concept than in many cases, when there is an illness, humans are disabled and cannot carry out their workload, which rarely occurs in the other species.
4. Growing up
In all species that inhabit the Earth, the offspring is capable of doing things in a relatively short time, which may vary from just a few minutes to eight weeks after birth. Sharks swimming at birth and birds flying in roughly 30 days of hatching. Human offspring however is completely helpless and powerless to do anything for itself for a very long time, only acquiring simple basic capabilities. It takes around 5 to 10 years (depending on the child and environment) before it can perform the duties and the requirements of carrying their weight around. Something that is never seen in all other species put together.
5. Advances
The human being does something that no other species has been observed doing – humans use external ways to overcome his physical shortcomings. Handicapped at birth and use anything and everything to keep our degrading health up to scratch.
6. Behaviour
Lions and the other carnivores will hunt to eat and they will engage in fights almost always for reasons of reproduction. Most fights in the animal kingdom are actually for reproduction and areas for feeding. And whenever there is a fight, when the victor is declared, the fight is over. There is no observance in any other species than the human being for retaliatory attacks, pre-emptive strikes, and most of all weapon construction in ever increasing lethal potential. Unless anyone has ever seen a mouse with an M-16 at hand and never bothered to inform anyone about it.
Now those are just a few instances. I will leave judgement of said points to your own views, however I will end with this.
Mankind was brought here as part of an alien experiment in evolution.
Mankind landed on Earth on starships that escaped a destroyed world.
Considering Mars has a 25 hour day circle, less gravity and less sun. Maybe we came from there?
The surface gravity on Mars is only about 38% of the surface gravity on Earth, so if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.
High-profile hacker Gary McKinnon claims to have some interesting information about the US Navy’s intergalactic operation – there is a top-secret fleet of “eight to ten” war ships in space, with around 25 “Non-terrestrial officers” on their books.
Gary McKinnon is a British lifelong ufologist and computer expert, whose 2002 arrest for hacking into the US Navy and NASA systems was described as the ‘biggest military computer hack of all time.’
McKinnon claimed NASA’s security was so lax back then, he didn’t expect to get caught. He used a program called Landsearch to scan documents and files to look for UFO cover-ups, and he did so undetected for two years before he got caught. President Bush wanted him behind bars. McKinnon faced an intense ten year legal battle in the UK, only narrowly avoiding extradition to the USA.
He has spoken before about exactly what he discovered during his time scanning NASA’s documents and files, but never in as much detail as in this interview with RichPlanet TV.
McKinnon claims:
In Building 8 at Johnson Space Center, Houston, there is someone whose full time job is to airbrush UFOs from images, since they are so commonly captured.
He found a US Navy spreadsheet entitled ‘Non-terrestrial officers’. McKinnon admits these words “can be interpreted in various ways,” but one thing is for sure: given the name, we know they’re not based on Earth.
McKinnon says there were maybe 25 rows on the excel spreadsheet with officers’ ranks and names, and that the ships had the prefix ‘USS’ just like American sea vessels.
He claims there is evidence of “material transfer between ships”, of which he says there are “possibly eight to ten.”
McKinnon believes all of this evidence suggests that the US has a fleet of warships in space, which might account for why the Bush administration were so keen to have him incarcerated in the States.
In parts 2, 3 and 4 (below), McKinnon expands on the information shared in this first part (and gives his reasons for not believing in the moon landings, among other things).
Many might be quick to label McKinnon a quack or a liar, but in this interview his body language doesn’t suggest he’s making anything up: in fact, during the course of the four-part interview, his story is remarkably insightful and consistent.

The Argument Against Calling Aliens
The Argument Against Calling Aliens

For the astronomers tasked with finding intelligent life elsewhere in the solar system, one of the most vexing questions is why ET is being so quiet. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) began in 1960 when astronomer Frank Drake spent 3 months scanning the cosmos for life, but in the 50-odd years since Drake’s initial experiment, SETI astronomers have yet to find any convincing evidence that we are not alone.
The disappointment this lack of results has led to the creation of a controversial wing of SETI research known as METI (Messaging to Extraterrestrial Intelligences) or Active SETI. The basic idea here is that if the aliens aren’t going to call us, we’ll call them instead.
Although a handful of messages have intentionally been sent out into the cosmos over the last half-century, ranging from 8-bit drawings to the entirety of Craigslist, most SETI research institutions do not fund active SETI projects. Moreover, in February of 2015, a number of leading SETI scientists published a letter listing the perils of METI and calling for a global consensus before any sort of message is sent on behalf of spaceship Earth.

The researcher’s concerns are well founded: as detailed in a paper posted to arxiv last week, a critical analysis of the leading arguments for and against METI found that the project is probably not a good idea, going so far as to call METI “unscientific and potentially catastrophic.”
Authored by John Gertz, President of the Foundation for Investing in Research on SETI Science and Technology and chairman at the SETI Institute, the paper begins by outlining the main arguments in favor of METI. In the first place, there’s the fact that all non-active SETI projects to date have failed to find evidence of intelligence elsewhere in the universe, which suggests that it might be time to try a new approach. Then there’s the argument that Earth has already been leaking radio waves into space for decades, potentially broadcasting our position to extraterrestrial intelligences. If we’ve already blown our cover, the thinking goes, there’s no harm in focusing our transmissions in a more organized search.
Yet as Gertz points out, there are a number of problems with the METI-ists arguments. In the first place, we don’t know anything about the alien civilizations we are contacting—perhaps we are saying hello to a hyperviolent and superintelligent alien race. If the history of our own planet has taught us anything, the contact between two civilizations when one is technologically advanced and the other comparatively primitive usually results in the extermination of the latter, so perhaps it’s best to wait and listen.
The most forceful argument in favor of METI, that we’ve already blown our cover by leaking radio waves into space, was ironically disproven by SETI Institute chief astronomer Seth Shostak, who is skeptical about the danger posed by active SETI. As Shostak has pointed out, the leakage from terrestrial radio transmissions would be so faint that it would be essentially impossible for an alien civilization to detect them from the interstellar distances where SETI researchers are looking for life.
Finally, there’s the issue of who gets to speak on behalf of Earth and what they get to say. Although the International Academy of Astronautics has drafted a protocolforbidding sending messages into outer space, it is not enforceable by law, so anyone with access to a radio telescope can say whatever they want to the universe without any legal repercussions.
Gertz argues that because of the large number of unknowns about who we’re contacting, the huge stakes involved in contact (namely, the existence of humanity), and the haphazard method of going about sending messages, the METI enterprise remains “unscientific and potentially catastrophic.”
So for the time being it appears most SETI astronomers are in agreement that trying to contact aliens is probably a pretty bad idea, although it’s still one worth thinking about. Due to recent donation boosts for SETI, Shostak has predicted we may hear from aliens inside of 20 years, and if he’s right, the question of what to say in reply may ultimately become the question of our generation.
Harvard scientists say advanced Alien civilizations could inhabit ancient solar systems on edge of galaxy
Harvard scientists say advanced Alien civilizations could inhabit ancient solar systems on edge of galaxy
Harvard scientists believe that advanced Alien civilizations could inhabit ancient solar systems on the edge of our galaxy
According to interesting statements from a team of Harvard scientists, aliens could inhabit the ancient solar system located on the edge of our galaxy. There, according to Harvard researchers, the clusters have the potential to support life, which could be as much as billions of years more advanced than we are today.
Experts believe that so-called ‘Globular Clusters’ which are something like a dense sphere of ancient stars located at the outermost edge of our galaxy could be the best place where we should be looking for alien civilizations.
Dr Rosanne Di Stefano believes that there are numerous reasons why the distant regions of our galaxy might be extremely favorable locations to search for intelligent lifeforms.
According to Di Stefano, one of those reasons is the age. The Globular clusters located in the outermost regions of our galaxy, extending beyond the Catherine wheel arms of our Milky Way, contain stars which according to researchers could have an estimated age of at least 10 billion years, a very big time period for life to evolve to advanced levels.
Another favorable reason according to experts is the relatively close distance between the stars. This means that it takes about a month (Earth) for light waves to make it across the distances of neighbouring stars in one of the many clusters.
Comparing it to our nearby distances, the nearest star to the Earth is 4.2 light years away.
“It would also be easier for a civilisation to explore and even set up outposts on other worlds,” according to Dr Di Stefano, from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, US.
Our Sun is around 4.6 Billion years old, which means that if there are civilizations located in these globular clusters, they could be billions of years more advanced than we are today.
The only exoplanet so far discovered by researchers and located in globular clusters known as M4 in the Scorpius constellation is nicknamed Methuselah. The planet is believed to orbit a binary system of a pulsar and a white dwarf. The estimated age of Methuselah is believed to be 12.7 Billion years, making it the OLDEST exoplanet discovered on record.
Writing in the BBC’s Sky At Night magazine, Dr Di Stefano said: “It would be strange if there were not many others.
“Of course, this is all conjecture. We don’t know whether there is alien life in such clusters.
“But globular clusters would be a good place to look and might be the first place where intelligent life is identified in our galaxy.”
But, not everything is perfect for life evolving in globular clusters at the edges of the galaxy. Researchers point to possible drawbacks such as the stars could get too close to one another and disrupt each others planetary system, something that could be catastrophic for the evolution of life. However, Dr Di Stefano conducted research which points to the fact that this danger does not exist.
She wrote: “What we’ve found is the opposite, that it’s possible for many habitable-zone planets to survive for billions of years.”
A mysterious repeating ‘alien’ signal has researchers baffled

Alien Message? Mysterious signal from ‘powerful exotic object’ spotted repeatedly coming from the same place in the universe
Is it possible that Intelligent Alien Civilizations are trying to send us a message? Astronomers have detected a mysterious signal from ‘powerful exotic object’ spotted repeatedly coming from the same place in the universe
When astronomers received the first signals in the past, they believed them to be radio bursts caused by one off cosmic events. But now, astronomers have detected a signal repeatedly coming from the same location. This changes everything astronomers previously thought about the radio bursts as there may be something ‘else’ producing the fast radio bursts.
In the past, astronomers believed that fast radio bursts may have been produced by ‘cataclysmic’ events that eventually destroyed their sources, like a star exploding in a supernova or a neutron star collapsing into a black hole.
But the new study published in the Journal nature indicates that this might not be the case and that it is very likely that the fast radio bursts have another, more permanent origin.
Prior to the new discovery, astronomers believed that the fast radio bursts were one-time events, occurring during cataclysmic events, like when their source – a star exploding in a supernova, for example, or a neutron star collapsing into a black hole occurs. But the signals are repeating, and come from the same source, so these events are unlikely to be the cause of the radio signals.
The anomalous signals are fleeting bursts of radio waves that flash across the cosmos in a matter of milliseconds before disappearing almost as fast as appearing. But now, for the first time ever, astronomers have detected the short bursts of radio waves are in fact coming from the same place in the universe, far beyond our own galaxy.
The mysterious signals were detected for the first time in 2007 and have baffled astronomers ever since their discovery. Now, due to anomalous ‘repeated signals’ scientists have come together in hopes of trying to identify what might be causing these. According to reports, the newest radio bursts are believed to originate from an ‘extremely powerful object’ which is able to produce multiple bursts in under a minute.
“Not only did these bursts repeat, but their brightness and spectra also differ from those of other FRBs,” notes Laura Spitler, first author of the new paper, in a statement.
According to Professor Jason Hessels, an astronomer at the University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, researchers hope to use the direction the pulses are coming from in order to understand what is causing them.
He said: ‘Finding the host galaxy of this source is critical to understanding its properties.
‘Once we have precisely localized the repeater’s position on the sky, we will be able to compare observations from optical and X-ray telescopes and see if there is a galaxy there.’
Paul Scholz, an astronomer working at the McGill University who first spotted the signal, said the repeating signal was in fact ‘exciting’.
He added: ‘I knew immediately that the discovery would be extremely important in the study of fast radio bursts.’
Scholz and fellow astronomers have discovered 10 new fast radio bursts, suggesting that the bursts very likely originated from a ‘very exotic object’, like a rotating neutron star with never-before-seen power.
The research which was published in the Journal Nature is yet another study published in the last couple of days, and comes days after scientists announced to have pinpointed the location of a fast Radio burst for the first time, but these claims are now being questioned by scientists. In order to pinpoint the exact location of the unusual event, scientists will need to better understand the source of the bursts.
“Once we have precisely localized the repeater’s position on the sky, we will be able to compare observations from optical and X-ray telescopes and see if there is a galaxy there,” says Jason Hessels, associate professor at the University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy. “Finding the host galaxy of this source is critical to understanding its properties.”
Mysteriously, our genetic code stopped evolving 3 billion years ago
Mysteriously, our genetic code stopped evolving 3 billion years ago
According to researchers, our genetic code stopped evolving 3 billion years ago, but why? When Francis Crick described the Genetic code back in the 1960s, the mysterious halt in the evolution of the Genetic Code was referred to him as a frozen accident.
Interestingly, researchers say that our Genetic Code could have developed to use up to 63 Amino acids, but for some reason, it stopped at 20.
Scientists might have solved the question of the century. According to experts, the genetic code’s limit was reached 3 billion years ago when evolution came to a sudden halt.
Even though life on our planet continues to evolve, the genetic code, that mystery machine which drives life has remained static using the same ‘commands’ and components in the same way it did in the distant past, billions of years ago.
It is known that at a certain point in our planet’s long history, our genetic code’s evolution came to a halt when it reached its plateau, thus preventing further development of the code. For decades, Scientists had no clue why, but now, thanks to a new study, researchers believe that the evolution of our genetic code came to a halt because of limitations in the way our DNA is translated to make proteins.
In order to understand it, researchers from Spain focuses on a molecule called transfer RNA (tRNA).
Basically, tRNA has the job to move the building blocks of proteins to the assembly line in order for them to be linked together in an appropriate way.
Interestingly when Francis Crick described the Genetic code back in the 1960s, the mysterious halt in the evolution of the Genetic Code was referred to him as a frozen accident.
Scientists believe this is because the genetic code evolved only enough to account for 20 amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The Genetic Code eventually reached a point where it was unable to alter, or expand so it could account for more than 20 amino acids, which caused it to remain static or frozen in time for billions of years.
The human body can link available amino acids together in order to make proteins, but it uses additional amino acids which are not included in the genetic code, relying on complicated chemical channels.
Interestingly, researchers say that our Genetic Code could have developed to use up to 63 Amino Acids, but for some reason, it stopped at 20. Experts believed that if the ‘machinery’ that reads the DNA and translates it to proteins were to include more than 20 amino acids, it is very likely that numerous mistakes would have been present, leading to an eventual meltdown of the biological system.
Professor Lluís Ribas de Pouplana, a geneticist from the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and senior author of the study, said: „Protein synthesis based on the genetic code is the crucial feature of biological systems, and it is critical to ensure faithful translation of information.“
Every single transfer RNA has two central regions which link it to a specific amino acid at one end. The other recognises a three-letter stamp of the genetic code. Scientists say that multiple genetic stamps can code for the same amino acids, and the combination of these areas are what gives each tRNA an identity.
Speaking to MailOnline, Professor Ribas said: „Our work shows that the central pieces of the genetic code, the transfer RNAs, can not house enough specific identity elements for the system to be able to distinguish 63 of them. Since you need a new tRNA for each new amino acid, once the limit of tRNAs is reached that determines how many amino acids you can use. This limit happened to be at 20, and it hasn’t changed for 3 billion years.“
Scientists are now looking for ways to overcome the limitations set in place billions of years ago with the help of synthetic biology.
„It is thus unlikely that the limit will change naturally, and you could certainly call it a bottleneck for molecular diversity. Artificially, however, we are able to increase the number of amino acids used by cells under controlled laboratory conditions. I think that our work adds to the notion that adding new amino acids in a natural context would require very dramatic engineering of the system. Something that nature can’t do. How to go about this engineering is the main question that opens after our study.“ Said Professor Ribas in the interview.
En général, la recherche scientifique est chose ouverte. Les réunions secrètes dont les journalistes sont tenus à l'écart ont plutôt lieu dans des cadres politiques ou économiques. Alors forcément, quand le Washington Post parle d'une conférence secrète, ou que le New York Times évoque des "discussions privées", cela a de quoi étonner.
Surtout quand celles-ci ont lieu à Harvard, entre 150 scientifiques, avocats et autres entrepreneurs et que le sujet n'est autre que la création d'un "génome humain synthétique", donc artificiel. Trois mots qui sont vite associés à clonage, être humain créé en cuve, bref, à toutes les dérives possibles imaginées par Aldous Huxley dans Le meilleur des mondes.
Cette réunion en question a bien eu lieu, mardi 10 mai, à la Harvard Medical School de Boston. Le titre de celle-ci était à l'origine: "HGP2 : le projet d'un génome humain de synthèse". Une référence au projet génome humain, qui a réussi à séquencer l'ADN de l'homme en 2003, après 13 ans de recherches. Fabriquer un génome synthétique, cela revient donc à pouvoir fabriquer, artificiellement, les 6 milliards de "nucléotides", l'élément de base qui compose notre ADN.
Mais si 150 personnes étaient conviées, le carton d'invitation était assez clair: "Nous n'avons pas invité de média intentionnellement, car nous voulons que tout le monde puisse parler librement et candidement sans être mal interprété". De même, les participants n'avaient pas le droit de publier des informations sur les réseaux sociaux.
Un quiproquo, pour le fantasque organisateur
Une démarche qui n'a pas plus à deux scientifiques, conviés mais qui ont décliné l'invitation. A la place, Drew Endy et Laurie Zoloth ont publié une tribune affirmant que la grande question éthique posée par le thème du débat "ne devait pas être discuter derrière des portes closes".
Interrogé par le Washington Post, l'un des organisateurs de la conférence, George Church, affirme que celle-ci était censée être ouverte. Problème: un article scientifique devait être discuté, mais celui-ci n'était pas encore publié. Pour éviter d'être accusé de faire de la "science par communiqué de presse", le chercheur a préféré privatiser l'événement. Il affirme qu'une vidéo de la conférence sera publiée en même temps que l'article en question.
George Church est un célèbre généticien américain, mais est également connu pour ses déclarations un peu folles. Par exemple, cloner l'homme de Néandertal. Ou encoreles mammouths.
Entre le début de la polémique et la conférence en elle-même, l'intitulé a également été changé, affirme le New York Times, passant de "Le projet d'un génome humain de synthèse" à "Test de grands génomes synthétiques dans des cellules". Un titre moins ronflant et moins sensible. A l'origine, le but principal du projet était de "synthétiser un génome humain complet dans une lignée cellulaire dans une période de 10 ans", affirment Drew Endy et Laurie Zoloth dans leur critique.
Faut-il synthétiser le génome d'Einstein?
Ils affirment que si la synthèse d'un génome humain artificiel est encore impossible, l'évolution des technologies et la baisse des coûts nous rapprochent jour après jour de cette possibilité. "Grâce à de nouvelles techniques développées depuis 2003, le coût de l'assemblage du matériel génétique servant à coder les gènes, les 'fondations' de la vie, ont chuté de 4 dollars à trois cents par lettre individuelle", affirment-ils.
Ainsi, le prix théorique d'un génome humain artificiel serait passé de 12 milliards à 90 millions de dollars. Et pourrait même tomber à 100.000 dollars d'ici 20 ans si la chute continue. Le New York Times rappelle que la création d'un génome de synthèse de levure est actuellement en cours, mais qu'il est 200 fois moins complexe que celui de l'être humain.
Les chercheurs se demandent ainsi s'il serait saint "par exemple, de séquencer et synthétiser le génome d'Einstein"? Et d'affirmer que si la technologie doit s'améliorer, il vaudrait mieux cibler la création de génomes moins polémiques.
Le 13 mai, à la suite de l'article du New York Times, le Center for Genetics and Society, une ONG qui milite pour des débats éthiques sur les nouvelles biotechnologies, a dénoncé "une réunion qui ressemble plus à une volonté de privatiser la discussion sur les modifications de l'héritage génétique".
Le surhomme n'est pas pour aujourd'hui, ni même pour demain
Il faut dire que cette conférence, qu'elle ait eu vocation à être secrète ou non, tombe à un moment où les avancées technologiques se multiplient et avec elles, les questions éthiques. Le génome humain est maintenant séquencé pour moins de 1000 dollars, de nouvelles techniques comme Crispr-CAS9 permettent des modifications génétiquesextrêmement simples et précises. Des scientifiques, en Chine, puis maintenant au Royaume-Uni, ont commencé à travailler sur des embryons humains.
Si la science avance vite et si tout cela peut faire tourner la tête, il faut pour autant savoir raison garder, tempère le généticien Jean-Louis Mandel, contacté par Le HuffPost. "Peut-on améliorer le génome humain? Faire des super sportifs, ou des gens très intelligents? Le problème, c'est que tous ces caractères sont d'une extrême complexité", précise le scientifique.
Et d'évoquer deux récentes études qui cherchaient des variants génétiques liés au QI. "Ils n'ont rien trouvé. Pas parce qu'il n'y à rien à trouver, mais car la complexité est telle que chaque variation va avoir un effet extrêmement modeste". A l'inverse, rappelle Jean-Louis Mandel, "une seule mutation sur les 6 milliards de bases du génome peut empêcher une personne de parler".
Bref, s'il est facile de casser une voiture, il est plus difficile de l'améliorer. Le 12 mai, des chercheurs ont publié une étude portant sur 300.000 individus. Le but était de comprendre le rôle joué par la génétique dans la réussite scolaire. Les chercheurs ont identifié 74 variations génétiques ayant un impact sur le niveau d'études. Mais celles-ci n'expliquaient que 0,43% des différences.
La crainte d'un eugénisme du XXIe siècle n'est donc pas pour tout de suite, mais il est toujours préférable de poser le débat avant d'être au pied du mur.
It's about the research (which I share), and the education, not the entertainment value, or awareness of it. Where you take it from there, is up to you. This month I present a batch of video's that supplies supporting evidence that may prove an alien invasion has already begun. After watching this video, leave a comment below to share what you think. Made for content, critique, debate, and intrigue. Rather than make 2 hour videos, this month, I thought I'd cram more into one video than I ever have. I hope you like, enjoy, and become informed. Is there more going on than meets our own eyes?
Thanks, and cheers, for watching, and double cheers to you, if you subscribed, too. :) (tips hat) Research Laura Eisenhower. I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)

Is there another Sun, Inner World and lost civilization inside of Earth?
Is there another Sun, Inner World and lost civilization inside of Earth?
Is there a slight possibility that there is an inner Sun, Inner World and lost civilization inside of Earth? In recent decades, a number of findings have been made that drastically alter the views on the Inner Earth theory.
According to many claims in the past decades, there is a world inside of our planet filled with supernatural beings, incredible technologies, and unexplained phenomenon. The ‘mythical’ land inside of our planet, its supernatural civilizations, and secrecy behind the entire subject stretches back over half a century. While the basis backing up such claims are nearly nonexistent, the legends must have originated from somewhere. What if Jules Verne’s classic “A Journey to the Center of the Earth” is true? And somewhere down there, an entirely new world is waiting to be explored, a place where somehow, living beings inhabit the depths of our planet, a place that ancient cultures and civilizations knew existed, or still exists today. What if it’s actually true?
Plato even spoke of the mythical inner world. He mentioned that extremely long and narrow tunnels connect the four corner of our planet. When these are finally connected, Agartha would stand with a magical ruler holding the throne.
But many similar accounts are present in history. If we go back to the year 50AD, we will discover that a Roman author by the name of Pliny the Elder stated that the ancient Atlantean civilization fled to the Himalayas after catastrophic events swiped over their capital city. Eventually, the Atlantean’s dug into our planet where they currently live, far away from ‘modern’ civilization.
However, if we look towards the 20th and 21st century, we will discover a number of authors who have made shocking claims in regards to the Hollow Earth theory. After proposing a new theory of the birth of our planet, Russian Physicist Fedor Nevolin became famous for suggesting that the Earth is hollow and most likely has a smaller Sun in the center. The Sun’s energy is said to penetrate through the holes in the Poles and accumulates in the center, making it possible for life to flourish inside our planet.
But perhaps the most famous accounts ‘offering’ conclusive evidence that there is a world inside our planet come from the famous Byrd expeditions.
Books like Worlds beyond the Poles by Amadeo Giannini claimed that Byrd had not flown over the Pole but inwardly through large holes leading into the Earth. Ray Palmer, mainly based on the book by Giannini, introduced his theory in the December 1959 issue of its magazine and obtained very positive results from the audience because of his theories and ideas regarding the Hollow Earth theory.
It is noteworthy to mention that according to Giannini and Palmer, during Vice Admiral Byrd’s alleged flight over the North Pole in 1947, Admiral Byrd radioed that he saw beneath him, not snow, but areas of land with mountains, forests, vegetation, lakes and rivers and in the undergrowth, a strange animal that looked like a mammoth.
It is said (citation needed) that in January of 1956, after leading an expedition to Antarctica, Admiral Byrd had stated that his expedition had explored 3,700 km beyond the South Pole and also just before his death, Byrd had said there existed a land beyond the Pole that was “an enchanted continent in the sky, a permanent mystery of Earth.” That land, according to other theories, was the legendary Rainbow City, home to a fabulous lost civilization.
But much before Byrd and others spoke of a world inside our planet, ancient civilizations had oral, and written legends that suggest such ’emptiness’ inside of our planet might actually exist.
The Macuxi Indians are indigenous people who live in the Amazon, in countries such as Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela. According to their legends, they are the descendants of the Sun’s children, the creator of Fire and disease and the protectors of the “inner Earth.” Their oral legends speak of an entrance into Earth. Until the year 1907, the Macuxies would enter some sort of cavern, and travel from 13 to 15 days until they reached the interior. It is there, “at the other side of the world, in the inner Earth” is where the Giants live, creatures that have around 3-4 meters in height.
However, there are more ‘stories’ that speak of similar events. The Babylonian hero Gilgamesh visited his ancestor Utnapishtim in the bowels of the earth; in Greek mythology, Orpheus tries to rescue Eurydice from the underground hell; it was said that the Pharaohs of Egypt communicated with the underworld, which could be accessed via secret tunnels hidden in the pyramids; and Buddhists believed (and still believe) that millions of people live in Agharta, an underground paradise ruled by the king of the world. Where did all of these legends originate from?
Interestingly, in ‘modern’ times, several interesting authors have made similar claims. For example. Leonard Euler, a mathematical genius of the eighteenth century, concluded that the Earth was hollow, containing a central sun and was inhabited. Dr. Edmund Halley, discoverer of Comet Halley and Royal Astronomer of England also believed that the Earth was hollow on the inside with three “Floors”.
In an extremely interesting interview with Coast To Coast AM, author and researchers David Wilcock stated that an alliance of ancient civilizations is living inside the planet. These ancient civilizations have been calling the inner Earth their home for long periods of time, and they are about the reveal themselves to the world.
Wilcock states that based on his research, it seems as if these cavities are utilized so that advanced civilizations have a place they can live while looking out for everything that happens on the ‘outer Earth,’ the surface of the planet.
Recent studies have discovered interesting details about what’s located inside of our planet.
According to scientists, there is a large ocean of water located inside the mantle of our planet. They point out that this gigantic tank of water could fill the oceans on our planet up to three times.
Researchers also indicate that the water located on the surface of our planet came not from space, but from within the planet itself, as part of “complete water cycle on the planet”.
In addition to the water found inside of our planet,researchers have discovered an ‘unknown’ oxygen sourcedeep below the surface of our planet. This discovery seems to point towards the existence of a hitherto unknown oxygen source believed to be located somewhere in the lower mantle of our planet.
The mysterious source of oxygen is believed to be so enormous, that it can influence the climate on our planet. The team of researchers led by Dr. Elena Bykova from the University of Bayreuth reported the results in the scientific journal nature Communications.
Are legends just legends? Myths only fictional accounts? Or is there something to the countless claims that have been formulated throughout the years which suggest there is a gigantic world waiting to be explored beneath the surface of our planet.

Astronomers have just found the LARGEST Structure in the Known Universe
Astronomers have just found the LARGEST Structure in the Known Universe
Astronomers have recently announced the discovery of the largest structure ever seen in the known universe, and its 1 Billion Light Years long, making it the largest structure ever discovered. The size of this structure is beyond fascinating.
Astronomers have discovered the biggest structure in the known universe, and well, the have called it BOSS.
Scientists at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands in Spain have come across the most massive object in the universe and have called it BOSS, the BOSS Great Wall, which when you think, is the perfect name for such a humongous structure in the universe. BOSS stands for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
BOSS is a superstructure composed of superclusters which are interconnected by gasses, located billions of light years away from our plant, and its mass is ten thousand times larger than that of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Thanks to Gravity, these superclusters are able to stay interlocked while they journey across space.

According to Joshua Sokol at New Scientist, the megastructure discovered by a team from the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics is composed of 830 separate galaxies and has a mass 10,000 times greater than the Milky Way. To put the scale of this structure into perspective, we orbit one single star, the Sun. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has over 200 billion stars, just like our Sun, in it alone with an unknown amount of planets orbiting them.
However, even though BOSS is the largest ‘thing’ ever discovered in the known universe, not all researchers agree it should be categorized as a ‘structure.’ The arguments against BOSS being called a structure or superstructure are that these superclusters arent connected like a wall would be. Instead, they have ‘dips’ and empty spaces between them and are linked by clouds of dust and gas.
While the debate whether or not BOSS is a superstructure or not will continue, it still is the largest object ever spotted by scientists. In fact, there are numerous other ‘great wall’s or superstructures found floating in the emptiness of space, located thousands and even millions of light years away from our planet.
Other Structures similar to BOSS are the Sloan Great Wall, which was discovered by researchers in 2003, and Lanikea, the superclusters of galaxies where our galaxy, the milky way is located. Lanikea, which in Hawaiian means ‘immeasurable heaven’ contains 100,000 galaxies and has the mass of ONE HUNDRED QUADRILLION SUNS.
Our galaxy sits near the edge of one such supercluster.
Within Lanikea, galaxies are travelling towards a region in space called ‘The Great Attractor,’ which according to researchers is the equivalent of a large gravitational valley.
Located in the vicinity of Lanikea are four neighbouring superclusters called Shapley, Hercules, Coma, and Perseus-Pisces. Lanikea was the first supercluster to have its size mapped by scientists.
Discoveries like this allow researchers to understand better the universe and helps them rebuild the Big Bang, enabling them to understand how space has changed since it came into existence.
Is There a UFO Cover-up? A Government Insider Speaks Out
Is There a UFO Cover-up? A Government Insider Speaks Out
Leslie KeanAuthor, New York Times bestseller, ‘UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record’
About six months ago, our board at UFODATA was privileged to welcomeChristopher Mellon as the newest member of our team. Chris spent nearly 20 years in the federal government serving in various national security positions. For the first time, he has agreed to speak publicly about his experiences within government as they relate to UFOs.

It is unusual for a man of Chris’s stature to speak openly about UFOs, which gives his statements great weight. His positions during the Clinton and Bush administrations involved high clearances; in fact, there are few people who have enjoyed such deep and wide-ranging access to compartmented programs in both the Defense Department (DoD) and the intelligence community. Chris is the recipient of numerous awards, including the National Reconnaissance Office Gold Medal and the Defense Intelligence Agency Director’s Medal.
At DoD, Chris served on a small committee that provided oversight of all DoD special access programs, in order to eliminate potential waste and duplication. The oversight included visits to Area 51 and other sensitive facilities. He also spent over a decade on the Senate Intelligence Committee, involved in oversight of NRO, CIA, NSA and other intelligence organizations. He became the first Congressional official to review all of the NSA’s compartmented programs.
I wanted to know what Chris had to say about Hillary Clinton’s implications that the government may be withholding classified UFO documents. Backed by John Podesta, chairman of her campaign, Clinton has been speaking about the need to “get to the bottom of the UFO mystery.” Her comments are unprecedented within a presidential campaign.
Here is my recent conversation with Chris Mellon, mainly conducted via email, edited only for clarity.
Q: When did you first become interested in UFOs?
A: I was about seven years old when I saw an old-fashioned amateur movie taken by a friend of our school principal. It showed a huge, golden disc-shaped object serenely moving through sunny, blue skies, passing through cumulous clouds in a manner that would be very hard to fake. I have no idea what became of the movie, but it filled me with wonder and awe. I read everything I could get my hands on afterwards and eventually did a research project on UFOs in college for a physics professor. I remain deeply intrigued.
Q: Did your colleagues in government know you were interested in UFOs? Were you afraid of being ridiculed?
A: It was something I didn’t reveal to colleagues unless I got to know them well and we became personal friends. Even then of course I wasn’t a nut about it and I certainly was not obsessed; it was simply a subject of great curiosity. It did not come up often. I was focused like a laser on my duties 99.9 percent of the time.
Q: Hillary Clinton has been asked about UFOs during her campaign. As the former Secretary of State, would she be likely to know if there were any classified government programs involving UFOs?
A: No, I don’t think so. I recall instances when White House officials sought briefings on highly compartmented DoD programs and were flatly refused. Access to such programs is on a need to know basis. In general, nobody outside DoD, including the Secretary of State, is deemed to have a need to know. Officials like John Podesta and Secretary Clinton can easily serve for years in senior positions and be avid consumers of classified intelligence analysis but never obtain access to DoD’s compartmented programs, which mostly relate to new weapons systems. Information about such programs rarely leaks because it doesn’t circulate, unlike the constant stream of leaked information regarding classified intelligence activities.

Q: Do you think that if Clinton is elected we can expect to learn new information about UFOs?
A: I highly doubt DoD or any other government agency is concealing UFO information. I participated in a comprehensive review of DoD’s black programs and spent over a decade conducting oversight of the national foreign intelligence program, an almost totally separate world of secrets. I visited Area 51 and other military, intelligence and research facilities. During all those years, I never detected the faintest hint of government interest or involvement in UFOs.
Q: Clinton and John Podesta have been focusing on the need for de-classifying government documents. What do you think about that?
A: While a few new, previously overlooked documents might turn up (the bureaucracy is never perfect), I do not believe they would resolve the UFO issue or provide significant new insights. I can think of one lengthy UFO report that is classified only due to concerns over sources and methods. In fact, it identified a convincing conventional explanation for the pilot sightings in this particular case. There are lots of classified documents related to activities at Area 51, where high security is needed. But this is all legitimate stuff the American people would support. They have nothing to do with UFOs, to the best of my knowledge.
Q: Do you recall any incidents involving UFOs while you were in government?
A: Yes, there were a handful of incidents. Knowing of my interest in UFOs, a breathless naval aviator called me one day to report that he was present minutes earlier when a Navy jet landed after being circled by a UFO in broad daylight. The Navy did not pursue the issue as far as I could tell. I also recall the Maui Optical Tracking Facility, which tracks satellites, recording a flight of four or five fiery UFOs traversing the night sky. Nobody knew what to make of it. But no government official expressed the slightest interest even after the tape was featured on ABC’s Nightline. I found the utter lack of scientific curiosity due to political correctness highly frustrating.
Q: How do you think the press and public will react if Clinton is elected, makes the inquiries she promised, but comes up empty-handed?
A: I think the conspiracy theorists will be angry and unconvinced, while the general public may conclude UFOs are not a worthwhile topic. If Clinton really wants to get to the bottom of the UFO issue, I think she should officially task NORAD with collection and analysis responsibility. Simultaneously, she should assign the Office of Science and Technology Policy the job of reviewing available evidence, coordinating with other countries and providing scientific assessments and recommendations.
Q: The taboo against taking UFOs seriously is a huge problem. How can we get more government officials to change this ingrained attitude?
A: I think we have to ask ourselves a key question, and then bring it forward. “Are there UFO cases that are sufficiently well-documented to warrant a scientific investigation of the phenomenon?” In my view, the answer is yes.
The patterns in the data are too strong; the reports from credible witnesses separated widely by time and place too similar; the evidence from videos and trained military and law enforcement observers too extensive; and the independent radar data in select cases correlates too highly with visual observations to safely ignore. Finally, when someone you trust and respect, like a naval aviator, looks you in the eye and tells you he saw something truly extraordinary at close range, it’s hard not to take his testimony seriously. It is arrogant, unreasonable and unwise to dismiss such reports. We should simply and impartially follow the trail wherever it leads.
Q: Which credible UFO incidents have you found particularly impressive and convincing?
A: A few stand out in my mind. In November 1989, 13 police officers and hundreds of other witnesses saw two silent triangular craft gliding over Belgium. This was the beginning of a wave of sightings there lasting well over a year. Ground and air radar data were acquired as well. The Belgian Air Force investigated the events in cooperation with a team of scientists and consulted with the U.S. and NATO countries, but could not find a conventional explanation.
An artist’s rendition of the Belgium UFO that made repeated visits in 1989-90
Colonel Wilfried De Brouwer, who later became a general, presents anomalous radar readings at a 1990 press conference during the Belgian wave
On the night of March 30, 1993, over a hundred witnesses in England, including police officers and military personnel, saw a triangular-shaped craft able to rapidly accelerate in seconds from a hovering position. The British Ministry of Defensestated that “none of the usual explanations put forward to explain UFO sightings seem applicable” and concluded that the evidence showed that “an unidentified object (or objects) of unknown origin was operating over the UK.”
Similarly, multiple police officers in Southern Illinois saw an object in January 2000 that looked and behaved very similarly to the Belgian and British UFOs. In fact, the Illinois police officers’ drawings of the craft are uncannily similar to the depictions of triangular craft produced by Belgian law enforcement officers a decade earlier, as well as many others since.
A Belgian Air Force weather forecaster drew his sighting in 1990
In 2006, pilots and airport personnel witnessed a disc-shaped object hovering overO’Hare airport for over five minutes, yet no government investigation was undertaken.
And, while most sightings have conventional explanations, I think it is stunning how many reports come in regularly to groups like MUFON, with impressive detail, including photos or videos. I often hear from skeptics, “If UFOs are out there how come nobody ever gets a video with all the smartphones around?” That is ignorant, it happens all the time!
Q: Some people believe the more recent sightings in cases such as those you mentioned may simply be US government tests of experimental aircraft. Is that possible?
A: I can understand why this may seem the most plausible explanation. But I can assure you, those objects did not belong to US Department of Defense. Just before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I was contacted by the DoD Office of Congressional Affairs. They were in a tizzy because Robert Byrd, the powerful Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, was challenging them over reports appearing in magazines such as Aviation Week and Space Technology describing an alleged super-secret US aircraft program dubbed “Aurora.”
Senator Byrd would use his budget power to punish the department severely if we lied to him or withheld information. We pursued all possible options, double-checking with the appropriate officials while reminding them of the imperative of providing an accurate response. We quickly confirmed what we already knew - that while there are always things on the drawing board, there was nothing remotely resembling such aircraft being operated by the department. We had nothing with the capacity to hover and then silently accelerate at massive speeds.
Also, it is totally uncharacteristic of the US military to conduct experimental tests of new vehicles over populated areas where security would be compromised and innocent civilians placed in harms way. That’s completely contrary to military DNA. Alien visitation is actually easier to believe than that level of stupidity being exhibited by the brilliant people developing new aircraft technologies for DoD.
Q: Are you certain there is no government cover-up?
A: It’s impossible to prove the negative, so all I can say is that I never saw any evidence of official interest in UFOs. I’d love to believe we have a crashed saucer somewhere, but I’ve never seen anything remotely supportive of such incredible claims. In my experience, on those rare occasions when UFO incidents involving the government occur, they are highly inconvenient, awkward and embarrassing for the afflicted government officials who want nothing more than to put the issue behind them as quickly as possible! The military seems generally unwilling to investigate even when UFO reports come from our own military pilots or officials in high office such as Fife Symington, the former governor of Arizona. Senior officials are so fearful of being ridiculed that they conceal any expression of interest or curiosity.
Q: Some inside sources have proposed that retrieved hardware from a UFO may exist within a private aerospace company which has become independent from the DoD. In this way, it would be exempt from government oversight and known only to a few people. Do you think this is possible?
A: I find it hard to imagine something as explosive as recovered alien technology remaining under wraps for decades. So while I have no reason to believe there is any recovered alien technology, I will say this: If it were me, and I were trying to bury it deep, I’d take it outside government oversight entirely and place it in a compartment as a new entity within an existing defense company and manage it as what we call an “IRAD” or “Independent Research and Development Activity.”
Q: So where does this all leave us, and what is to be done?
A: In my view, calling for the end to an alleged government UFO cover-up is almost certainly a dead end, and does not help inspire anyone in government to become more open to the topic. The UFO mystery is a scientific problem. A true scientist seeks and follows the data no matter how politically incorrect the facts may be. The greatest scientific breakthroughs occur when we verify information that challenges conventional wisdom. That’s why I joined the board of UFODATA.
Q: I’m so glad you did. What kinds of new data are you hoping we will collect?
A: Our team of scientists and engineers are designing and will build a large network of automated surveillance stations with sophisticated sensors to capture a wide range of data. The stations will house cameras to record both an image and spectra, a magnetometer, instrumentation to detect radiation, a gravimeter, and more. They will be mobile so that we can readily deploy them to areas that become hotspots of UFO activity. We can then make the data available to the scientific community for analysis.
Q: Do you think UFOs could be visitors from civilizations elsewhere?
A: I’m certainly intrigued by the possibility. But I don’t think we will find out without a deeper scientific inquiry. I would like to invite the public to participate and support this lean but potentially groundbreaking effort, staffed by volunteers. UFODATA’s findings, one way or another, can help us to resolve this perennial mystery and perhaps even help us to better understand the universe and mankind’s place within it.
Want to see some unexplained lights in the sky or slow moving cigar-shaped or saucer-shaped objects? Gas up the car and head out to the southwest section of Colorado.
The San Luis Valley of the Centennial State is reportedly a paranormal-rich area of the American landscape, with UFO sightings going back to the 1600s.
When Judy Messoline first moved here in 1995 to raise cattle, she became intrigued by the many UFO stories told to her by the locals. She eventually abandoned the ranch idea and in 2000, built a special UFO Watchtower, a rectangular metal platform standing 10 feet high above the ground where up to 60 people at a time can gather and swap tales of unexplained experiences.
“We see objects that we cannot explain — lights that go real fast and stop, or they’ll go in one direction and suddenly go in the opposite direction without stopping,” Messoline told AOL.
“The closest one we saw from here between the tower and the mountains was cigar-shaped — narrow and really long — and illuminated from the inside. Over a dozen people saw it moving rapidly from the north to the south.”
So far, of the nearly 60 sightings since she opened her alien lookout, Messoline has had 26 sightings of her own.
“During the day, we see silver balls and saucer-shaped objects. We’ve also had reports of people driving down the country roads out here who’ve seen saucers flying right next to them,” she added.
Since 2000, an estimated 20,000 visitors have journeyed from around the world to Messoline’s UFO Watchtower hoping for a glimpse at an otherworldly sight in the sky. And even if they aren’t lucky enough to spot an unknown light or craft, they’re seldom disappointed.
Messoline’s tower sits on 600 acres of land she owns just outside the town of Hooper, where skywatchers experience the majesty of the Rocky Mountains (surrounded by the San Juan and Sangre de Cristo ranges) by day. At night, the incredibly clear, non-polluted skies present the wonders and astronomical vistas of the Milky Way galaxy.
And then there’s Messoline’s “vortex garden” — a large, widespread area where there are, according to various psychics, portals to another universe. It’s a place where Messoline encourages visitors to leave personal trinkets behind.
“Folks really like the idea of leaving something of theirs in that garden: sunglasses, hats and toys — some things are really so nice that I have to patrol the garden to make sure that things stay put.”
Messoline has her own theory about why her particular 600-acre plot and the surrounding environment are so UFO, vortex energy-friendly.
“There have been documented UFO sightings here since the 1600s, so it’s nothing new and it’s considered the nation’s hot spot for UFO experiences,” she said. “Some say it’s the spirituality of the valley — native Americans consider the valley floor as sacred.”
If UFOs aren’t your cup of tea, there are other activities near this out-of-the-way tourist spot that might suit your fancy. Don’t miss the local alligator farm, the Great Sand Dunes National Park, a mountain train and geothermal hot spring pools.
And you can’t beat the price to check out the UFO Watchtower. “We charge $2 a person, or $5 a car — whichever’s cheapest,” said Messoline.
Her original dream was to have a log house on 100 acres with a 6-foot-high privacy fence around it, to keep out the neighbors. Messoline ended up with the log house but with no privacy fence.
And after so many years of sightings of strange lights and objects in the sky above and around her Colorado home, Messoline’s belief system has been deeply affected.
“I used to always believe that there had to be life someplace else because the universe is just too massive for there not to be. But I know it now.”

Octopus DNA is NOT From This World, Scientists Reveal
Octopus DNA is NOT From This World, Scientists Reveal
The aquatic wildlife holds many secrets and the marine biologists are at the onset of making small but significant discoveries that may some day, elighten other paths to a higher intelligence and a deeper understanding of the surrounding nature.
Even though oceanographical researchers are overwhelmed with the abundance of flora and fauna, a group of scientists had the inspiration to choose the cephalopods and try to break down their DNA code.
The octopus, the squid and the cuttlefish are encompassed in the coleoid sub-class of the molluscs, characterized by a wide behavioural range and astonishing morphological wrinkles: camera-like eyes, extremely flexible body and the most impressive chameleonic response. All these features are packed with the largest nervous system found so far among the invertebrates, making the octopuses the champions of the obscure aquatic universe.
One of the main reasons that determined the team of scientists to investigate the molecular base of the cephalopod brain was its ability to immediately adapt the neural network properties which greatly impact the memory and learning capacity. These capabilities can offer an explanation within the genome that incorporates biological mechanisms that allow tissues to rapidly alter proteins in order to change their function.
Along with the development of marine biology and modern day genetics, there have been identified hundreds of cephalopod-specific genes, some of which displayed advanced expression level in complex organic structures as the skin, the suckers and the nervous system.
For those unfamiliar with the notion of genome, you can think of it as an organism’s complete set of genetic instructions that envelops all the genetic information needed to build, grow and evolve that specific organism.
However, the Octopus Genome Project is at an early stage, the most important achievement is the finding of evidence for large-scale genomic rearrangements, which translated for the non-scientist, means that the octopuses are able to remodel their own DNA, resulting in a flawless versatility in any environment, which was a decisive and crucial ability for the cephalopods in the race for survival of the fittest.
The octopus has an impressive genome structure, almost as large as a human but with many more protein-coding genes, about 33000, compared to our’s 25000 (some sources say that we might have even less than calculated initially, only 14000). Add 168 neuron development regulating genes (almost twice as many as any mammal) and you get an embodiment of intelligence that swims gracefuly among the lesser creatures that roam the oceans. The neural network consists of half a billion neurons, from which two-thirds spread out from the head to the prehensile arms, without the need of spinal cords, like we see in the vertebrates.
One of the most fascinating aspects regarding the nervous system is that if an arm is dismembered, it can still execute cognitive tasks, as if it would develop a self-dependent nervous system in each arm. This unique feature has given us an example of ultimate biological engineering.
To clear out the mystery behind its rapid chamelonic behavior, the scientists have identified six protein genes called “reflectins” which influence the way light reflects from the octopus’s skin, displaying various textures, pattern or brightness.
The discoveries belong to researchers of the University of Chicago who carried out the Octopus Genome Project with a member of the California two-spot octopus for initial analysis. In the same period, a similar project took place in Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in Japan, both research groups aiming for breaking down the genome. Luckily, the two teams joined their knowledge pool for a mutual support in the research that focused on the DNA structure of the cephalopods that revolved around the sequence of the first genome, revealing astonishing results.
The scientific report that concluded the octopuses share alien genes have been somewhat groundshaking in the scientific world which caused an upheaval among the marine biologists who were shocked and intrigued at the same time, at the fact that apparently we’ve had under our very own nose the whole time, a link to humanity’s greatest mysteries in the field of science.
Octopuses are aliens, or at least their genetic baggage is. This headline is not something you see everyday in the world of science. After the release to publicity of such statements, the media created a hype around the subject that required a thorough clarification, on a deeper level, in order to eliminate any confusion.

Het mysterie rond Göbekli Tepe: technologische hoogstandjes uit de oudheid en tijdreizen
Het mysterie rond Göbekli Tepe: technologische hoogstandjes uit de oudheid en tijdreizen
Technologische hoogstandjes uit de oudheid, tijdreizen, zelfactiverende machines, terravorming en gelekte topgeheime documenten. Een 12.000 jaar oud archeologisch object stelt onderzoekers nog altijd voor een raadsel.
Linda Moulton Howe reisde af naar de Turks-Syrische grens om een bezoek te brengen aan Göbekli Tepe. Rond 1962 ontdekte men er een aantal metershoge versierde pilaren die cirkelvormige of ovale bouwwerken vormen.
Het bergheiligdom is met een ouderdom van 12.000 jaar het oudst bekende tempelcomplex ter wereld. Sinds 1994 doet het Deutsches Archäologisches Institut in samenwerking met het museum van Sanliurfa onder leiding van dr. Klaus Schmidt opgravingen en onderzoek.
Het complex is twee keer zo oud als bouwwerken die in Egypte, Soemerië en Engeland zijn gevonden. Onderzoekers speculeren dat Göbekli Tepe, Stonehenge en andere steencirkels en piramides zelfactiverende machines kunnen zijn die zijn achtergelaten door een buitenaardse intelligentie die lang geleden de aarde heeft geterravormd.
In deze video presenteert Emmy-winnares en onderzoeksjournalist Linda Moulton Howe het nieuwste onderzoek over Göbekli Tepe en topgeheime stukken over de commerciële toepassing van buitenaardse technologie die zijn gelekt door een anonieme wetenschapper.
Green UFO Caught During Sunset Over Water Dam, Pennsylvania, May 16, 2016, UFO Sightings News.
Green UFO Caught During Sunset Over Water Dam, Pennsylvania, May 16, 2016, UFO Sightings News.
Date of sighting: May 16, 2016 Location of sighting: Quemahoning Dam, Pennsylvania, USA This photo was sent yesterday by a reader here at UFO Sightings Daily. The person was at a famous camping area at Quemahoning Dam, PA. The person took a photo during sunset and caught a UFO by accident hovering over the water. UFOs as I have said before are most often seen during sunset, due to the sun sitting at a 90 degree angle to the person so cloaked craft become visible for a few minutes. This one probably was caught exiting or entering the water. An awesome UFO photo. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: Quemahoning Dam. I took a pic of the sun going down and two days later I noticed a green dot in the pic. When I zoomed in on it, this is what was there. I never saw it while taking the pic.
After countless fictional scenarios of humans making contact with alien civilisations, you'd think we'd be prepared for actually discovering one. But finding intelligent life beyond the Earth is clearly likely to be one of the most shattering moments in the history of our species.
So if you've just discovered an alien civilisation, how should you go about breaking the news? This is a momentous task, and I have been involved in developing some guidelines for the scientists who are involved in searching for extraterrestrial life. The research is due to be published in the journal Acta Astronautica.
With the millions of dollars currently being invested in initiatives such the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), some would argue it is only a matter of time before we do come across intelligent life. I'm personally not convinced, but pessimism isn't enough to abandon a search. The scientific method requires us to test our hypotheses with observation and experiment – regardless of our initial prejudices.
If we ever do find signs of intelligent life, I don't expect it to be a message from an alien civilisation or a landing party. It will probably be something a little more prosaic, such as signs of artificial pollution in the atmosphere of an exoplanet. It may even take the form of enormous structures built in space to collect energy and provide habitats.
Artist impression of an alien megstructureDanielle Futselaar/SETI International
I showed in some work a few years ago that we would be able to see such megastructures in exoplanet transit data, such as that gathered by the Kepler Space Telescope. True enough, Kepler did see weird objects such as Tabby's Star, KIC 8426582, with features similar to those predicted would come from artificial structures. But like most astronomers, I'm still a sceptic – a swarm of comets around Tabby's Star producing incredible changes in brightness is still the more sensible interpretation.
What's really encouraging about this, though, is that it shows SETI can be done "on the cheap", taking advantage of publicly available astronomical data to search for aliens. For a pessimist like me, this seems like a much more appropriate strategy.
The flurry of internet activity surrounding Tabby's star – blogs, tweets, news stories and theKickstarter campaign to encourage the public to support further observations – demonstrate how different the world has become since SETI began around 60 years ago.
Super-connected world
If evidence of extraterrestrial life ever came to us from the stars, what should the discoverers do next? This is something astrobiologists have pondered for decades. In 1989, a committee of SETI scientists even drew up a set of post-detection protocols to guide scientists through the steps after discovery. These steps include getting your colleagues to verify the discovery, and notifying "relevant national authorities" (precisely who this means is unclear to me), followed by the scientific community and then the public via a press release.
However, this set of guidelines was written before the age of the internet. Back then, we got our news via the paper or the TV screen. Even 24-hour news was in its infancy. Nowadays, the news world is a fragmented sphere of articles placed on our devices and in our feeds via a variety of social media tools, shared by our friends and family. Data flows extremely rapidly, and easily gets amplified and distorted.
That is why my colleague Alexander Scholz and I decided to take another look at the issue, asking how the SETI post-detection protocols should change to reflect our super-connected world. We quickly realised that scientists need guidance before starting the experiment, let alone after making a detection. It is now common practice for new scientific projects to set up a blog about their work, and this will be essential for SETI. The blog should include a clear description of what a certain project will do, and what the criteria are for a successful detection, a false positive and no detection. This would help journalists and the public alike to avoid misinterpreting the results.

The individuals involved need to be credible communicators of their work, so maintaining good digital presence in the early stages is very helpful. We also recommend they update their security settings to protect against nefarious individuals broadcasting their personal information – which is sadly a real risk these days.
If a team is lucky enough to make even an unconfirmed, tentative detection, they must be sure to have nothing to hide. Leaks are unavoidable, and alarmingly rapid. Nobody wants an "aliens found" story that turns out to be false. The best way to do this is to publish data immediately. If it's very clear that the detection is unconfirmed, and natural or man-made causes can't be ruled out, then there is no room for conspiracy theorists to wail about the scientists' collusion with the men in black(an accusation flung at me more than once). It also gives other scientists the chance to check the work, and verify the detection.
Of course, we've all seen some of the comments on YouTube or other media sites – there are numpties everywhere, and there is seemingly no stopping good scientific discussion being twisted into inexplicable diatribes and vile hate speech. Therefore, the most important piece of advice for scientists is to be involved in the conversation.
If a publicised detection turns out to be false, the team should immediately make a public statement making it clear that no aliens have been discovered and why. They should even publish a paper retracting it if they have to.
But whoever discovers intelligent life should also prepare for it to swallow up the rest of their life – there isn't going to be time for much else. Their new job will instead be to help humanity come to terms with its new identity, as just one of multiple intelligent civilisations in the universe.

Barack Obama To Reveal UFO, Alien Information Kept Secret For 20 Years?
Barack Obama To Reveal UFO, Alien Information Kept Secret For 20 Years?
Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician serving as the 44th President of the United States. Wikimedia Commons/Steve Jurvetson
Obama's last days in the office might be defined by an extra-terrestrial revelation. According to reports, the US commander in chief has been close to announcing an alien and UFO activity before he steps down from his post.
The US President is affected by the same revelation promises made by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during her campaign. In relation to this, executive director Stephen Bassett of the US-based Paradigm Research Group believes that there might be a huge announcement in the days to come, adding that David Cameron will also follow suit. Bassett has been trying to persuade the White House to give the details that have been kept for 20 years. The 69-year-old Bassett believes that this is the greatest news story ever been broken, and that he thinks that Obama's revelation will be a Nobel Prize worthy.
Obama's possible revelation would happen just months following Clinton's statement in a US talk show saying that she was eager on the transparency of information about UFOs and ET, Express reported.
Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Clinton spoke in Jimmy Kimmer Live as is reportedly leading the race against Berni Sanders for party nomination for the upcoming election in November. Just like her husband Bill, who also guested on the show in 2014 and was also asked if he has ever been into UFOs or in Area 51, which is a top secret air base rumored to back engineer an alien craft. Bill answered "sort of" and said he did not see dead aliens.
Hilary Clinton said that there is already a new name for UFO, which is unexplained aerial phenomena. She stated that she would want everyone to see the files and make every information public, saying that if there is nothing in the file, then people should be made aware. But she added that if there is something found there, it should be shared with the public unless it is going to be a national security risk, according to 12 News.
UFO hunters have declared that footage apparently showing a fleet of glowing orb UFOs over the city of Minsk in Belarus is proof of alien UFO and ET visitation to Earth. But skeptics have suggested that the footage likely shows Chinese lanterns.
The footage, showing an alleged fleet of bright or glowing orb UFOs, was recorded over a motorway and later over tower blocks in the city of Minsk and uploaded to YouTube on May 25, 2016, by alien hunter Ovnis Actuales.
It has drawn the attention of members of the online UFO community some of whom have challenged skeptics to explain away what they claim to be undeniable evidence of extraterrestrial craft hovering over a city in Belarus.
“Where are all the trolls with their stupid explanations?” a UFO believer Rio Angel taunts skeptics. “When they see film like this they hide under rocks shaking.”
“Where are all the trolls with their stupid explanations? When they see film like this they hide under rocks shaking.”
Commenting on the bizarre daylight sighting, UFO blogger Scott C. Waring notes that glowing orb UFOs are among the most commonly sighted worldwide and in space. UFO hunters have often reported sighting orb UFOs near the International Space Station (ISS) in low Earth orbit.
“The most common UFOs seen are glowing large orbs,” he writes. “These light up and disappear almost in sync.”
“I wish we had more footage and more info about this one. It is awesome that the person stopped their car and got out to record this. It is not recorded through glass, but just a normal view from the side of the road,” he adds.
UFO hunters have noted that the footage is reminiscent of the sighting of a fleet of mysterious UFOs over the famous port city of Osaka, Japan, in July, 2015.
TheInquisitr reported at the time that the bizarre footage shot over Osaka shows a swarm of about 10 mysterious orb UFOs floating silently over the city.
The footage sparked endless debate and speculation among UFO enthusiasts. But many agreed that the difficulty encountered in interpreting the footage was due to its poor quality.
However, some viewers suggested that the orbs could be white-colored balloons floating in the wind. Others compared the sighting to orb UFOs that appeared over Hyde Park in London the previous month. Pointing attention to the similarities between both sightings some UFO enthusiasts suggested there could be a link.
Was there an alien race conducting systematic surveillance flights over selected cities, some enthusiasts wondered.
The sighting over Hyde Park also drew the attention of the mainstream media because the orbs appeared for a few seconds and disappeared mysteriously in a manner that suggested that they were not ordinary man-made objects, such as balloons or Chinese lanterns.
Some UFO enthusiasts argued that the disappearance was due to a phenomenon that UFO researchers term “cloaking,” a reference to technology allegedly employed by ET visitors to disguise or hide their UFOs and make them invisible to human observers.
A favorite method of “cloaking” employed by alien visitors, according to UFO researchers, involves disguising UFO spacecraft as lenticular clouds.
A sighting of glowing orb UFOs also occurred in January, 2015, over Western Massachusetts. Footage captured on January 19, 2015, which went viral online, showed an orb UFO hovering over a building. The mysterious orb then released what appeared to be a smaller orb which flew off in a different direction.
Then some seconds later in the video the orb UFO released more orbs.
However, some skeptics claimed that the video was a CGI hoax.
Recently, a witness in Fairbanks, Alaska, filmed a mysterious UFO releasing multiple orbs mid-air before disappearing mysteriously (see YouTube below).
Multiple sightings of glowing orbs releasing smaller orbs over several locations in the country have sparked speculation among members of the UFO community that a stealth alien invasion of Earth could be underway, and that an alien species could be dropping “landing pods” containing alien invaders over multiple locations as part of efforts to plant sleeper cells of alien invaders across the country.
UFO conspiracy theorists have always claimed that there are aliens living among us on Earth in disguise.
Skeptics have often tried to explain away sightings of glowing orb UFOs as Chinese lanterns, balloons, flares, or parachutes with lights.
“Yupp Chinese laterns, now we have SuperBrite LEDs, small lithium batteries and a helium filled balloon and you can have all sorts of fun.”
“Have these idiots ever heard of Chinese lanterns?”
But UFO hunters have scoffed at consistent attempts to explain away orb UFOs as Chinese lanterns, saying that while some sightings could be Chinese lanterns or similar man-made floating objects, not all cases could be explained so easily.

NASA Claim “Dozens” Of Advanced Civilisations Existed Before Us
NASA Claim “Dozens” Of Advanced Civilisations Existed Before Us
A new NASA study reveals that dozens of ancient advanced civilisations much like ours once existed on Earth, but they all came to an abrupt end.
The study suggests that humanity as we know it could come to an end in the next few decades based on the patterns observed with these previous civilisations.
If we look back in history, 3000 – 5000 years, we will find a historical record that clearly shows us how advanced and complex civilizations were just as susceptible to collapse as we are today. This ongoing pattern has led researchers to question the future existence of society and civilization as we know.
If we were to look back further back in time, over 10,000 years, we would encounter evidence of advanced civilizations that possibly predate the Pre-Inca, Olmec, and Ancient Egyptian civilization, not to mention other advanced ancient civilizations in ancient Mesopotamia.
It is difficult to overlook the repeating patterns identified by scholars in most of these civilizations and the NASA funded study is clear evidence of the path ancient civilizations on EArth have taken for thousands of years. This is considered by many people as a sign that clearly states that ancient civilizations have reset a number of times.
These factors have kept on repeating themselves and have been the culprit for ancient civilizations before us. In the report, applied mathematician Safa Motesharri and his “Human and Nature Dynamical” model claims that “the process of rise-and-collapse is actually a recurrent cycle found throughout history.”
“The fall of the Roman Empire, and the equally (if not more) advanced Han, Mauryan, and Gupta Empires, as well as so many advanced Mesopotamian Empires, are all testimony to the fact that advanced, sophisticated, complex, and creative civilizations can be both fragile and impermanent.”
The study came to the conclusion that there are two key social features that contributed to the collapse of every single advanced civilization from the past: “the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity”; and “the economic stratification of society into Elites [rich] and Masses (or “Commoners”) [poor]” These social phenomena have played “a central role in the character or in the process of the collapse,” in all such cases over “the last five thousand years.”
Even though our civilizations is at a very advanced technological stage, this does not necessarily mean that we are saved from imminent chaos. In the study we find that “Technological change can raise the efficiency of resource use, but it also tends to raise both per capita resource consumption and the scale of resource extraction, so that, absent policy effects, the increases in consumption often compensate for the increased efficiency of resource use.”
One of the best examples of advanced ancient civilizations disappearing can be found in Mesoamerica.
If we take a look at the ancient Maya who were an extremely advanced ancient civilization we find that several factors played a crucial role for this once great empire to crumble eventually. While most researchers would agree that Deforestation, Famine and Drought where some of the key components in the failure of the ancient Maya, we find a similar pattern in other civilizations, not only I the Americas, but around the globe.
Motesharrei and his colleagues conclude that under conditions “closely reflecting the reality of the world today… we find that collapse is difficult to avoid.” In the first of these scenarios, civilization:
“…. appears to be on a sustainable path for quite a long time, but even using an optimal depletion rate and starting with a very small number of Elites, the Elites eventually consume too much, resulting in a famine among Commoners that eventually causes the collapse of society. It is important to note that this Type-L collapse is due to an inequality-induced famine that causes a loss of workers, rather than a collapse of Nature.”

WETENSCHAPWetenschappers zijn er voor het eerst in geslaagd rechtstreeks belangrijke organische verbindingen te detecteren in een komeet. De ontdekking versterkt het idee dat het leven op aarde lang geleden ontstond nadat een komeetinslag de nodige chemische bouwstenen naar hier bracht.
'Aminozuren zijn overal, en op vele plaatsen in het heelal kan dus mogelijk leven ontstaan'
Kathrin Altwegg, onderzoeker
De ontdekking gebeurde met behulp van het ESA-ruimtetuig Rosetta, dat nog tot september de atmosfeer van de komeet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko onderzoekt. De apparatuur aan boord van Rosetta deed meerdere vaststellingen van het aminozuur glycine in de wolk van gas en stof die de komeet omhult. Dat aminozuur wordt door levende organismen gebruikt om eiwitten aan te maken.
In het verleden werd glycine al indirect gedetecteerd. In 2006 keerden stalen terug naar de aarde van een andere komeet, Wild 2. Maar besmettingsproblemen nadat de stalen in de woestijn in Utah geland waren, bemoeilijkten de wetenschappelijke analyse.
"Nu we glycine hebben gevonden op meer dan één komeet, weten we zeker dat dit geen uitzondering is", zegt Kathrin Altwegg van de universiteit van Bern die het onderzoek, gepubliceerd in Science Advances, leidde.
De ontdekking impliceert dat glycine veel voorkomt op plekken in het heelal waar sterren en planeten zich hebben gevormd, zegt Altwegg. "Aminozuren zijn overal, en op vele plaatsen in het heelal kan dus mogelijk leven ontstaan."
Naast glycine vonden de onderzoekers rond 67P ook fosfor, een sleutelelement in alle levende organismen, en andere organische moleculen. Het was de eerste keer dat fosfor gevonden werd in een komeet.
"Meer nodig dan aminozuren"
Wetenschappers buigen zich al lang over de vraag hoe het leven op aarde miljarden jaren geleden ontstaan is. Een van de meest populaire hypothesen is dat kometen en planetoïden met hun organische moleculen in de oceanen van de aarde gestort zijn.
De nieuwe studie voedt die hypothese. Toch is er nog meer onderzoek nodig, zeggen de wetenschappers. "Je hebt meer nodig dan aminozuren om een levende cel te vormen", aldus Altwegg. "Het is de veelheid aan moleculen die de ingrediënten voor leven uitmaken."
Rosetta beëindigt haar twee jaar durende missie op 67P in september, wanneer ze rakelings langs de komeet vliegt om daarna neer te storten op zijn oppervlak.
Ook op onze buurplaneet Mars is er een klimaatswijziging geweest. Op de noordelijke pool van het hemellichaam zijn aanwijzingen gevonden van een ijstijd die tot zowat 370.000 jaar heeft geduurd, zo staat in het jongste nummer van het wetenschappelijke vakblad Science.
Op de noordelijke pool van Mars zou er zich in het verleden ongeveer 87.000 kubieke kilometer ijs hebben gevormd, voldoende om de hele planeet met een zestig cm dikke ijskorst te bedekken, berichtte een onderzoeksteam rond Isaac Smith van het Southwest Research Institute in Boulder in de Amerikaanse staat Colorado.
De vondst, dankzij data van de Amerikaanse sonde Mars Reconaissance Orbiter, is ook van belang voor een mogelijke bemande missie naar Mars en de inplanting van een habitat. Water zal immers een beslissende factor zijn, zeggen de wetenschappers.

UFO LANDT IN BOLIVIA EN ALIEN STAPT UIT ( VIDEO )
UFO LANDT IN BOLIVIA EN ALIEN STAPT UIT ( VIDEO )
Het gebeurt niet vaak dat er talloze getuigen zijn die een vreemd licht in de lucht waarnemen, wat niet alleen een vliegende UFO blijkt te zijn, maar ook één die landt.
Na de landing zien drie jongens hoe er een vreemd uitziende alien uit de UFO stapt.
Er is een zeer vreemd, maar wel interessant verhaal opgedoken uit Zuid Amerika.
In een stad in Bolivia zeggen de bewoners dat ze een alien uit een UFO hebben zien stappen en dat die daarna bij hen door de buurt liep.
Drie studenten zeggen dat ze een vreemd mysterieus object zagen rondcirkelen boven de stad Santa Cruz iets meer dan een week geleden en dat deze vervolgens rond tien uur ’s avonds landde.
De getuigen zeggen dat ze vervolgens een alien uit het toestel hebben zien stappen en dat deze weer snel probeerde terug te gaan toen hij in de gaten kreeg dat hij was ontdekt.
Het begon allemaal toen de drie studenten die onderweg waren naar huis opeens een vreemd licht aan de hemel zagen. Vervolgens kwam dit licht min of meer recht naar beneden en verdween achter een boom.
Volgens een andere vrouw hoorden ze een luid geluid en viel alle elektriciteit in de omgeving uit. Volgens deze vrouw “viel” het vreemde object plotseling uit de lucht.
Het schijnt dat dit buitenaardse wezen niet al te groot was en er ook niet bepaald aantrekkelijk uit zag. Het scheen hele lange vingers te hebben en probeerde zelfs in een boom te klimmen.
Wat niet helemaal duidelijk is, is hoe dit verhaal verder af liep. Misschien wordt dat duidelijk uit de onderstaande televisiereportage die wij helaas niet goed kunnen verstaan omdat het in het Spaans is.
Wat wel duidelijk is uit dit alles is dat er in dat stadje in Bolivia werkelijk iets is gebeurd die avond.
En dat die alien in de problemen moet hebben gezeten om op deze manier met zijn UFO te landen midden in een bewoonde stad.
Globular UFO Over Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Caught On Live Cam, May 23, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Globular UFO Over Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Caught On Live Cam, May 23, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 23, 2016 Time: 21:22 or 9:22pm Location of sighting: Mexico Source Live Cam:http://www.webcamsdemexico.com This video is from a live cam which takes still shots every few seconds. I believe the area and cam used is the Puerto Vallarta Sur area. I have uses a lot of these cams before in search for UFOs and I am amazed at this globular UFO thats has glowing orbs around it surface. I believe it was seen only because it was nighttime and it passed by a camera that switches on some infrared LEDs (flashlight beams out) and was caught as it flew past the camera.This is new...I've never seen this type of UFO before, wow, just wow! This is a great video by SecureTeam10 with some interesting insight into the UFO. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Mexican Musician Records "UFO fleet" On April 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 18, 2016 Location of sighting: Tijuana, Mexico News source:http://inexplicata.blogspot.tw This group of UFOs probably felt they wanted to send the people on the ground a message...to show that they were friendly. The UFOs actually formed a happy face for about 5-8 seconds, then broke formation. What is more universal than a smile? That is communication. Awesome catch, with a more awesome message. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Inexplicata News states: What this video uploaded to YouTube clearly depicts are unidentified flying objects. Therefore, the term "UFO fleet" fits perfectly. It was recorded in the skies over Tijuana, Mexico - an area that has drawn the attention of many experts of the UFO phenomenon, since in recent years, sighting reports have become incessant. The recording was made on the night of April 18, 2016 in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico, by corrido music artist Charly STPX, who after rehearsing with his band near the pier, became aware of some lights hanging in the air only meters over the sea. These images were shared on YouTube and over a dozen luminous objects can be seen, immediately leading them to believe it was a UFO fleet. The musician states this is the first time he's seen anything like it, as he has no knowledge of the UFO phenomenon. What caught the attention of hundreds of YouTube users (and of other social media outlets) is that the lights maintain a formation that resembles a "smiley face", causing many to say it was the "happiest UFO fleet in the galaxy." As can be heard on the video, Charly STPX hastens to explain that these are not "globos de Cantoya" (hot air balloons) which are popular in that region of Mexico. The YouTube video, which runs nearly 5 minutes, shows how the light formation descends and becomes lost in the horizon, which was still visible to eyewitnesses. Unfortunately, the cellphone camera was unable to capture some details described in teh video. The musicians knocked back a few beers to celebrate this close encounter of the first time.

UFO Over Volcano In El Salvador Recorded By Government On 2013, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: 2013 Location of sighting: Volcano Chaparrastique, San Migual, El Salvador News source:
http://www.elsalvador.com/articulo/trends/avistamiento-ovni-volcan-chaparrastique-113885 This UFO video was released 3 years late, but it was recorded by the MARN, an area of the El Salvador government that that was held back at the time it took place, but for some unknown reason, given to the public yesterday. It looks like world governments know that disclosure is coming, so they better mentally prepare their people. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: A UFO in the Chaparrastique volcano? It would have happened during the eruption of the colossus, says expert. The video apparently captures the moment an unidentified flying object (UFO) flies over the top of the volcano Chaparrastique, while it is erupting, is circulating the web. You may be interested: 5 pictures of the eruption of San Miguel the video was taken by the monitoring station of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN), it shows how this UFO prowls the sector and even stops for seconds and reappears above the crater. The sighting happened during the eruption the volcano in 2013 and the video was released today in the morning at Hola El Salvador.
British UFO Encounter: Aliens Interested in Nuclear Weapons
British UFO Encounter: Aliens Interested in Nuclear Weapons
Gary Heseltine is a recently retired police detective having served almost 24 years with the British Transport police in England. He came forward with astounding information which sheds new light on the most famous case in the Britain. The 56-year old claims that the extraterrestrials were interested in the nuclear weapons, which is why they visited the RAF Bentwaters. Throughout the incident, Staff Sergeant Jim Penniston says he was able to touch the small triangular vessel. He described the vessel as smooth to touch, but has strangled symbols that bear resemblance to The incident, which dubbed the Roswell, has made the front page of the currently defunct News and has sparked various documentaries. Gary worked for almost 24 years in the British Transport Police. He claims that Colonel Charles Halt, the deputy base commander, revealed the existence of the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in Suffolk airbase. In December 1980, aliens reportedly buzzed the Rendlesham Forest and USAF base for over three nights. Two nights later, the mysterious object returned, and Col Halt led a group of experts. Based on his recordings, he called the object as a red winking eye.
A few years later, he filed a detailed memo about the encounter to the British Ministry of Defence. The memo was under the auspices of the Freedom of Information Act. Among the controversial stories, the most controversial are the reports about the extraterrestrial creatures firing beams in the weapons storage area. This retired officer claims that Col Halt told him that the high-ranking official of the USAF has made the shocking revelation as they toured the base. Unfortunately, when Colt Halt was asked, he denied the Gary’s claim stating that he never revealed anything to Gary. The US and UK governments created a policy of neither denying nor confirming that tool of the mass destruction was at the base.
Despite his denial, explanations were made to support Gary’s statement. First is the incident that took place in December 1980 wherein the base was on high alert because Soviet troops were on the border of Poland. This rationale is the motive as to why extraterrestrial beings turned to the base. The most recent information was from the two retired operators claiming that an unidentified object traveled 8 seconds at 120 miles.
Students and Residents Claim Seeing An Alien Climb A Tree Before Fleeing
Students and Residents Claim Seeing An Alien Climb A Tree Before Fleeing
A mysterious humanoid was observed coming out from a UFO, climbed a tree, and then jumped back on board the strange object. Three students claimed to have seen the entire bizarre activity in Santa Cruz – a city in Argentina.
According to the report, they saw the UFO circling the area before making a landing. The witnesses had claimed that the humanoid seemed to notice them before it decided to get back quickly on board.
The students were on their way home from school when the event took place.
One female witness said that it started with a bright light in the sky when the impossible happened. The UFO came down and eventually landed.
Another woman said she heard a deafening sound and saw the UFO went down and disappeared.
Residents also claimed to have seen the UFO, which crashed on Calle 2 of the district. They said a weird being climbed a tree.
Another shocked woman described the being as small and gooey, which extended its arms and climbed a tree. The woman added that it had long fingers.
The very unusual activity reportedly happened at 10 pm on Friday in the El Dorado District of the El Bastion Santa Cruz, Argentina.
Some suspected that the students just started a hoax, but one resident even provided a drawing of the so-called alien being.
When you have seen a black mysterious flying orb, what will you do? For a typical person, his or her instinct is to run for cover. However, others would love to grab their cameras. UFO’s could be anything from aliens and extraterrestrials to a man-made vessel. With the reported sightings almost every day, even the skeptics scratch their heads regarding its origin. However, is this new sighting an exception?
This is the moment when a strange ‘black ring’ extraterrestrial resembling sliced squid hovering in the sky over Argentina was recorded on camera. When footage of the mysterious flying orb emerged on YouTube, it went viral with the speculations over the origin of the phenomenon. It was concluded among conspiracy theorists that the object could be the outline of the alien’s warplane. Despite having a clear photo, still, many people were left baffled. In the image, the object was seen pulsating over the Argentinian town of Tigre, about 28 km north of Buenos Aires. It is not a hidden fact that few viewers negated most mysterious sightings due to the different beliefs. While some claimed it to be an alien warplane flying at “supersonic speed,” there are others that believe that it could have been some form of “chemtrails” of high-flying planes. These high-flying planes are man-made, and hence, the sighting turns out to be identified flying object.
One of the viewers named María Laura Gal believes that the black ring was merely a plume of smoke out of a cannon. The said Cannon was launched at a place near an amusement park in Parque de la Costa. In a post, she wrote that the black squid object appeared in a place that is believed to be an attractive location that launches a cannon. She does not consider that it is something unusual or uncommon. The existence of aliens is still the subject of debates. Whether it is flying warplane or a simple outline, it cannot be denied that there are thousands of unexplained sightings over the years.

Filer’s Files #22 – 2016 Nasa and the Moon - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Ingo Swann’s Remote View of the Dark Side of the Earth’s Moon, UFOs in Space, NASA and the Moon, and Letter from Reader.Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Italy, Malaysia, Peru, and Scotland in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
What a wonderful world, it the best in this part of the Galaxy

INGO SWANN’S REMOTE VIEW OF THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
Pilot Bob Durant and Ingo with his Millennium painting
Author Ingo Swann told us of his involvement with a secret government agency while he was staying overnight at my house with a dozen other UFO researchers. Ingo Swann is one of the more important historical figures in the U.S. government-funded efforts to investigate the phenomenon known as “remote viewing.” His participation in highly classified research is now public knowledge and not disputed. Unfortunately Ingo has passed on he was born September 14, 1933 and died January 31, 2013, but he has left several enjoyable books.
Ingo Swann worked with The Stanford Research Institute, SRI, and many government agencies for years. Swann’s journey into the world of the bizarre began when he volunteered in 1971 to be a human guinea pig for an ESP research project at the Stanford Research Institute. He expected to be “used and tossed aside” after just a few weeks of being tested for telepathic ability. But apparently Swann displayed some genuine PSI moxy, and so was launched into a life-long journey that drew him into the frightening, clandestine world of CIA operatives, UFO research, conspiracy theories, and more.
Swann was the first psychic employed in the CIA’s remote viewing program that began in 1975: that was called Project Star Gate. Swann’s success rate was so impressive that by 1975, he was recruited by a covert government operative, “Mr. Axelrod” to spy on extraterrestrials as well as the Soviets.
Moon base visualized by Ingo Swan
Swann’s remote viewing was confirmed by Kit Green who sent Swan a book by George Leonard describing similar structures he viewed on the moon using photographic analysis of NASA images. The success of Swann and Project Star Gate in delivering accurate remote viewing data to intelligence agencies quickly led to military agencies asking Swann to develop the necessary protocol for training military remote viewers. He then became the instructor for a team of Remote Viewers. Swann’s involvement with the covert activities of “Mr. Axelrod” provides valuable evidence on extraterrestrials living among us. He even taught us some of the basic concepts.
In one incident, Swan told us he was taken by Axelrod to a remote location, thought to be Alaska, where they traveled to an Alaskan lake to view UFO activity. The goal was for Swann to psychically gain information on what the extraterrestrials were doing at what appeared to be a secret UFO base. Swann described in detail an incident involving a UFO coming in from space, expanding in size from a tiny basketball sized object into a large triangular vehicle. It then drew water from the lake and flew off into space. He was asked what they were doing? He shrugged and they quickly left.
Penetration is Mr. Swann’s most riveting book. I gave him information I had collected about flashes, clouds, and other anomalies on the moon. The book banishes the idea that a remote viewer’s life need be dull. This is a story of how badly the government needed to know some information, and to what extent it was willing to go to get it. Ingo revealed some of his most intimate history of his involvement with the government insiders who control much of the countries deepest secrets. Many Presidents and few in Congress and few generals or admirals are let into the deepest secrets of the government.
Using remote viewing of various targets Ingo Swann explored extraterrestrial life. He has interacted with some of the most deeply buried U.S. government intelligence personnel to help them understand the “ET enigma.” Intelligence personnel know we are being visited by extraterrestrial life but wish to know if they are a threat to Earth. This is a nonfiction drama involving elite elements within the U.S. intelligence community wanting to know more about extraterrestrials that they know are operating on and near Earth. From Swann’s perspective, UFOs and extraterrestrials exist, and a select few in the U.S. government knows about them. He was given permission to tell the reader his findings. The government only wants deniability.
“Penetration”: The Question of Extraterrestrial and Human Telepathy” by Ingo Swann. He worked with The Stanford Research Institute, SRI, and many government agencies for years. Swann told us he was contacted by a “highly important man in Washington D.C.” who told him to expect a phone call from a mysterious individual. Swann was to “do whatever he asked, and to ask no questions.” Four weeks later the call came at three in the morning, jolting Swann out of his sleep: Swann was ordered to go to the Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. He was met there by two contacts that whisked him away in a car, put a hood over his head, and flew him by helicopter to an unknown location. He was taken underground in an elevator. In a small room in this underground base, Swann was asked to use his remote viewing skills to probe certain coordinates on the moon. Swann is surprised when his remote viewing reveals a robust alien operation of some sort on the moon, complete with large building structures and humanoid aliens who appear to be engaged in a mining operation. He was able to watch for awhile but the aliens determined he was viewing them and ordered him to stop.
In his book, Penetration, he stated the extraterrestrials were able to breathe unaided, thereby suggesting an atmosphere on the moon. What’s odd is that the spies seem to already know about the alien moon base. The spooks paid Swann $1,000 a day, and after a couple days, sent him home with dire warning to say absolutely nothing of the whole adventure for 10 years.
Ingo felt it was very clear that our government is very much intimidated by these ETs. We know that NASA has not been welcome on the Moon for a long time now. He said, to the government agents “they somehow have told you to stay away and somehow shown you they mean it, these ETs are NOT friendly are they?” Swann also described his encounter with an alien in a Los Angeles supermarket and confirms that ET civilization has been infiltrating the Earth in humanoid bodies. Swann’s friends warn him: “There are a lot of them you know, and many of them are bio-androids and they realize that Earth psychics are their only enemies.”
I had a similar meeting of a likely alien in Nordstrom’s Department Store. I thought to myself this attractive blonde woman is an alien. She looked over at me, apparently picking up my thoughts and ran out of the store. We encouraged Ingo Swann to write this book because it reveals the existence of extraterrestrials and their activities on Earth and the Moon. Ingo Swann understands the perils and pain of being someone who has had “experiences”. Many of you, like me, fall into this category. He also talks about the fact that DENIAL of the ETs is a “patent fact. The question is WHY”
The UFO phenomenon is the most complex event in history and it’s great that a few in the government are watching. There is also kind of amnesia about ET and the government even backs movies to show us they could exist.
“Ingo calls us Earthsiders, who seem to be caught up in some kind of strange but broadly shared amnesia induced, perhaps, in some kind of wholesale way by means totally unrecognizable by human intellects.” We Earthsiders assume that we construct our reality, but Swann suggests: “Who it is that contracts the realities is NOT at all clear. Most biomindsuperpowers.com people are culturally discouraged from making their own reality” You can pay over $200 for the paperback book Penetration or download it free at http://ebookee.org/Penetration-By-Ingo-Swann_747188.html
UFOs in Space
A riveting news article was published in 1980 in the “Sputnik” magazine about the perceptions and experiences of UFOs. This article contains reports from ten Soviet and American astronauts. Only one of these astronauts refused the possibility of UFOs getting in and out of our galaxy.
Russian cosmonaut Yevgeni Vassilyevich Khrunov declared that it’s actually impossible to deny the presence of UFOs, and we should admit that these are more than simple optical illusions, even some of their characteristics like the rapid change of flight course at a 90 degrees angle offers us a lot of food for thought.
Astronaut Ghenadi Strekalov mentioned that he witnessed numerous strange and inexplicable phenomena, but hesitates to classify these events in any way. Still, he described a phenomenon observed on September 28 1980, during his day shift on the Mir space station: a flying sphere above the Earth, at an altitude of 20-30 km, around Newfoundland. The atmosphere was clear and the visibility was perfect, so he could watch for about 10 seconds how the sphere was shifting beautiful vivid colors, and afterwards disappearing almost instantly.
NASA and the Moon
Rumors persist NASA may well be a civilian agency, but many of its programs are funded by the defense budget and most of the astronauts are subject to military security regulations. Apart from the fact that the National Security Agency screens all films and probably radio communications as well. The astronauts were under strict orders not to discuss their sightings.
Moon Tower
Here is an extract from the official press-release: “NASA scientists and engineers participating in exploration of Mars and Moon reported results of their discoveries at a briefing at the Washington national press club on March 21, 1996. It was announced for the first time that man-caused structures and objects had been discovered on the Moon.”
Specialist for lunar artifacts Richard Hoagland says that NASA is still trying to veil photo materials before they are published in public catalogues and files, they do retouching or partially refocus them while copying. Some investigators suppose that an extraterrestrial race had used the Moon as a terminal station during their activity on the Earth. Ruins of lunar cities stretched along many kilometers, huge transparent domes on massive basements, numerous tunnels and other constructions make scientists reconsider their opinions concerning the lunar problems. How the Moon appeared and principles of its revolving around the Earth still pose a great problem for scientists. Some partially destroyed objects on the lunar surface can’t be placed among natural geological formations, as they are of complex organization and geometrical structure. In the upper part of Rima Hadley, not far from the place where the Apollo-15 had landed, a construction surrounded with a tall D-shaped wall was discovered. As of now, different artifacts have been discovered in 44 regions.
Mysterious terrace-shaped excavations of the rock have been discovered near the Tiho crater. The concentric hexahedral excavations and the tunnel entry at the terrace side can’t be results of natural geological processes; instead, they look very much like open cast mines.
A transparent dome raised above the crater edge was discovered near the crater Copernicus. The dome is unusual as it is glowing white and blue from inside. A rather unusual object, which is unusual indeed even for the Moon, was discovered in the upper part of the Factory area. A disk of about 50 meters in diameter stands on a square basement surrounded with rhombi walls. There is a regular rectangular area between Factory and the crater Copernicus which is 300 meters wide 400 meters long.
Apollo 10 astronauts made a unique picture (AS10-32-4822) of a one-mile long object called Castle, which is hanging at the height of 14 kilometers and casts a distinct shadow on the lunar surface. The object seems to be consisting of several cylindrical units and a large conjunctive unit. Internal porous structure of the Castle is clearly seen in one of the pictures, which makes an impression that some parts of the object are transparent.
NASA finally understood what consequences such kind of control could bring. Astronaut Mitchell answered the question about his feelings after a successful return the following: “My neck still aches as I had to constantly turn my head around because we felt we were not alone there. We had no choice but pray.”NASA leadership was awfully annoyed with the great number of anomalous objects on the Moon. Investigators are especially interested in ancient structures resembling partially destroyed cities. The orbital shooting reveals an astonishingly regular geometry of square and rectangular constructions. They resemble our terrestrial cities seen from the height of 5-8 kilometers. A mission control specialist commented on the pictures: “Our guys observed ruins of the Lunar cities, transparent pyramids, domes and God knows what else, which are currently hidden deep inside the NASA safes, What do geologists and scientists say after studying the pictures of lunar cities and other anomalous objects? They say, such objects can’t be natural formations. “We should admit they are artificial, especially the domes and pyramids.” Reasonable activity of an alien civilization showed up unexpectedly close to us. We were not ready for it psychologically, and some people hardly believe they are true even now. source=http://english.pravda
Letter from Reader
In 1988, my uncle told me that he had personally been aware of and involved with the management of the debris that had been brought from Roswell to Wright Field in 1947. My uncle Edward Strieber was indeed, a very honorable man. He spent his career in the Air Force, mostly working in areas that were extremely classified. He was in a position to know what he was talking about, and, as I say, he was an honorable man.
Not only that, he introduced me to his commanding officer and old friend, General Arthur Exxon, who could not have been more frank about alien craft at his base. He stated, and this is a direct quote: “Everyone from the White House on down knew that what we had found was not of this world within 24 hours of our findingit.”

Filer’s Files #22 – 2016 Nasa and the Moon - PART II
Filer’s Files #22 – 2016 Nasa and the Moon - PART II
Sightings in the United States
California Objects
Southlake Tahoe – I was just taking a picture outside my hotel room on May 18, 2016, noticed something over the tree top line. I was looking at the photo and was going to send it to a friend. When I blew the picture up I noticed the boomerang shaped object with the bright light just above the tree tops. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Davenport — We were at a farm picking berries on May 22, 2016, and took some photos. I was looking at pictures the following day and noticed one picture with some kind of object in the upper left hand corner. Can’t tell what it is, but it looks unusual.
I did not notice it while I was taking pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Orbs
Miami – I was standing on a lifeguard stand looking at the ocean when all of a sudden multiple orbs appeared in a path that followed each other on May 21, 2016. Then the ufo came out of nowhere and glowed/hovered for 15 seconds and then dissapeared.
I instantly thought it was a ufo since it looked nothing like a plane, blimp, or helicopter. It appeared as fast as it disappeared, but hovered for about 15 seconds. I thought it was amazing the way it stayed in the air with its glide like slow motion then shot away. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Georgia Cylinder
Johns Creek –I ‘m Alex Stamford and I’m 17, I have taken astrophotography and I have been doing it for a few months now. The picture is one I took during sunset on my Canon t5i camera on May 18, 2016. When I took it I didn’t see anything, no clouds in the sky and no planes. I saw something dark when I looked back on the photo a day later. I saw an object high on the left side and it zoomed up on it and it didn’t seem like a cloud or a plane because they pass over head all the time. It was not a plane because if it was going off the flight path, silent and gave me chills. Whatever it is it seemed to just sit there in the picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kansas Tornado Object
Dodge city — Video of tornado near dodge city on May 24, 2016 shows an object in upper left fly in front of the tornado posted on the weatherbug.
I got 3 stills at 2:05 PM of the videos run time not real good from my iPad. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Lights
The first time I saw them they appeared at dusk in a line pattern to the north. They flicked on as if by a light switch, held for a few seconds then faded out with no change in pattern or movement. No other light sources are in the area.
Twenty minutes later of driving I turned east on a dirt road that I am very familiar with and over a clearing to my north saw three bright lights much closer. They were brighter and lower in the sky than before. I passed in front of some trees and lost sight of them, only to emerge on the other side with nothing there. I drive these roads very frequently and these lights were unexplained, even as reflections. Attached is a photo shopped image exactly recreating the light intensity and patterns of the two sightings? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Rapid River –I was just north of Rapid River on Birch Farm picking mushrooms on May 21, 2016, and I wondered into an open field that served as an ultra light runway years before. I looked up over the tree line toward the morning sun and saw a large spherical object just chilling a few tree stands over.
It warbled a little while hovering for maybe 30 seconds while I stared at it, and accelerated smoothly moving back toward Rapid River in a few seconds. Thinking back to this morning I have to believe there was a glint off the thing near the sun that must have been enough to attract my attention. I thought the object was a hovering balloon or helicopter at first. There was no trail or noise. My feelings about what I saw are simple, just trying to differentiate between an airplane, and superman. Afterwards I thought about traveling that fast. It got too be too small as it flew away. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota Light
Red Wing — After picking up my fiancé from work, around 11:40 pm, on May 16th, 2016, we witnessed two large lights or objects off into the distance. We joked about the lights driving up our driveway being aliens. Upon getting out of the car, we got a better view as to how big these lights or objects actually were. We started to think we were seeing a basic UFO? There were two lights. The brighter one was higher up. The colors were mostly white, with a yellowish-orange. The lights/objects, moved fast! Zigzagged and their lights almost seemed to pulse if that makes sense? They moved in a path together and they also hovered almost together (despite the distance between them). They moved in a path and they would completely disappear into thin air! Also, in my video, you can see a cluster of dim lights down in the left corner that is a farmhouse a mile away. These lights/objects came and went over about an hour’s time. I felt weird about what I saw? I’m a former cop, but I know what I saw. I’ve seen a lot of weird stuff in my day; this takes the cake so-to-speak. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mississippi Object
Biloxi Beach — I was staying at a hotel on the beach on May 23, 2016. My son and I were on the back balcony area of this hotel looking at the Gulf of Mexico and the beautiful sunset around 7:30 p.m. We both noticed a large circular white UFO in the sky above us. It had no wings and appeared to be at a high altitude above us in the sky.
The UFO seemed to be moving at a very high rate of speed but it had no sound. This UFO glowed a bright white color and at times it appeared to be cigar shaped but mostly circular. It was difficult to tell the exact shape of the UFO since it was at such a high altitude. It was amazing to see this object in person and I was excited to capture video footage of this UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Orb
Garfield — Smoking on the back porch on May12, 2016, the object was going from east to west fast. It stopped behind a tree it did not come out the other end.
Ten minutes later it’s going from east to west fast and just stops for several seconds and going up and down and started until I lost it.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey/ New York
New York City — The witness in New Jersey saw an object hovering through a window on April 26, 2016, over the city.
I then went to the balcony and started filming and taking pictures. It was hovering over Freedom Tower World Trade Center on top of the antenna in New York City.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Lights
Pine Island— My daughter wanted to take photos of the black dirt fields near Pine Island on May 20, 2016. She took several photos and nothing was visible at the time the photos were taken .When we arrived home she was reviewing the photos and the object was in the picture. The two photos were taken within the same minute on her phone, seconds apart and she could not see it when she took the picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Orb
Weaverville –My grandmother, stepmother and I observed this UFO over the mountains on Reems Creek on May 20, 2016.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
RhodeIsland Triangular Object
Providence — On May 19, 2016, the witness was driving home on a cloudy night. Rain had been falling 20 minutes earlier.
He at once saw a large black triangular object with a white blinking light in the middle and solid white lights on the corners.
The object was huge and he thought it to be as big as an aircraft carrier. The object emitted no sound. He said that the object could be a black ops craft and took a brief video with his I-phone 6.
The object did not show up real well. A blinking light showed up in a few frames. The video was taken through his vehicle window. A still image extracted from the video is shown above.
The witness saw the object for about one minute until it vanished over the horizon over the Atlantic Ocean.

Pennsylvania Object
Appalachian Mountains–Sitting on our porch with my brother and step dad a flying object appears out of nowhere.
It moved so fast and in a matter of seconds it traveled across town.
I have video and stills. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
Dallas – I was setting on my back porch watching planes in a busy air corridor towards DFW airport on May 20, 2016.
I watched the object descend and stop. I grabbed my phone and began filming. I filmed the craft slowly descend into the distance behind the subdivision.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
San Antonio— Before dawn on May 19, 2016, I had discovered an ufo but did have a recording device. I looked up and one of the stars caught my attention. It was if it wanted to be seen as was red, orange. It was losing altitude and leaving a heat wave behind it. It was going down slowly and stopped for a few seconds. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up because I knew it wasn’t a normal star. It was still and then flashed and took off at tremendous speed and left a trail of fire and smoke like it was leaving the earth. I got scared and started to lock the doors and went to my room and prayed. I finally bought a phone and downloaded an app and this is what I captured. There was one big ufo and three others. It made me look at the world different as we are really not alone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
West Virginia Ball
Clendenin— My 31 year old son and I went out on our deck on May 24, 2016, and immediately noticed an amber ball of light streaking in from the west. It then stopped abruptly and hovered. I quickly took a picture. It then started slowly moving east (over a 2 hour period) after it cleared the western trees we could start to see the shear mass of it.
There were 3 white lights way below it that were moving with it. As the moon brightened we could see the shape of a triangle that connected all of the lights. It was like a mountain moving through the sky it was so big. We watched it for 2 hours or so until it left the clearing. I will chalk this up as one of the most unexplainable things I have ever seen in my life. The videos do not do it justice, it does not pick up the bottom 3 lights that connect it all and the 3rd light was not visible to us until later. It was amazing. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Light
Melbourne — I saw a red ball of light in the sky and it fell from the sky in a very slow and weird way on May 15, 2016, at 10:23 PM.
I thought it was a shooting star, but it had no tail and it didn’t disappear as it got lower to the surface.
After experiencing this I went on Google and the only similar photo I could relate to was yours so I thought I would email you and show you my photos.
Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Brazil Disc
Campinas — On the night of April 7, 2016, at about 10 PM, I noticed a strong and steady red light from the south and heading north.
It was a completely different from lights on aircraft. At one point the light stopped on its way and gave a light white that descended vertically and stopped.
It shifted horizontally and disappeared, and then the red light continued its path to the north. The photos were taken with my Nikon D5200 camera with lens 55/300. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Disc
Canberra — Took pictures of sunset on May 18, 2016. When I returned home I noticed the object in the picture.
One picture contained the object but other pictures of same sunset after taking the first picture did not contain the object.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Egypt Objects
Hurgada — I was on my terrace in my beach house in El Gouna resort, with a friend. I noticed them coming from a distance behind my friend’s back. I pointed them to my friend and we both were surprised by the strange shape and colors of the objects that are unlike anything that fly’s. They were silent, with no visible propeller, engine nor wings, moving at a steady speed similar to a regular plane. My friend ran for the phone camera and grabbed only a few pictures. When they were over head I noticed the front 1/3 bright blue almost like a swimming pool transparent container and slightly wider than the 2/3 dark anthracite metal body.
Two were flying in the front followed by a third. They were coming from the north heading south when they passed at a distance; the dark grey turned into silver metallic which I assumed was the reflection of the afternoon sun on them. I first thought they might be strange military objects carrying big pools since UFO’s don’t come straight to one’s mind. Their silence as they flew overhead was very strange. They eventually continued flying south till they disappeared from our vision. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Italy Triangle
Rimini – I was on the balcony of my hotel on August 18, 2015. It was very hot in this night and I was very surprised by an unknown object. It was very large (100 meters) black triangle, absolute silent, that was moving slowly over the Adria beach in direction north to south. It had three lights at the corners; the brightness of the lights was like Venus, height flying at 500 meters. I had the impression, that the object is looking for something or observed something with a robotic stubborn movement. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Malaysia Orb
KENINGAU SABAH – On 20 May 2016 I was meditating around 8.30 pm in my room like my everyday routine. I do some random telepathy to contact any non earth being in my area.
On 21 May 2016, almost 9.00 pm, i tried meditating but failed. I wake up at 1 am in the morning make a bottle of milk for my 2 year old son. I had a weak vision in my head to go “the place” not far away from my home at the highest point in my town (almost 650 meter form sea level!
On 22 May 2016, I go the top of the hill coffee shop and wait almost 3 hours but nothing happened, I decided to use telepathy (LOL) to ask WHO was giving me vision to go here. Suddenly face of the GRAY alien come in my head. I start taking pictures of the sky before leaving. That night I saw a Silver ORB in one of the pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Peru Sightings
San Gabriel de Varadero — Last May 17, 2016, a group of residents in the Peruvian jungle, said they had seen a triangular object that fell into a farm of banana crops,
The craft left footprints and emitted loud sounds. The residents of San Gabriel objects landing left footprints and emitted loud sounds. People were allegedly screaming and in panic. As reported by the news portal RPP, there are numerous testimonies: “I saw them, with similar sounds to the blender and illuminating lights.”
Gabriel de Varadero has decided to organize to protect themselves from the presence of alleged UFOs in the area. A group of residents of this town located three hours from the city of Yurimaguas saw several triangular craft.
To preserve my physical integrity and my family have had to make shots in the air and immediately the objects disappeared “, reported Professor German Canchari. In the scene they detected the presence of strange triangular marks on the ground formed by three holes and neighbors tried to preserve until investigators arrived to make relevant studies. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Humachuco — Several residents of the province of Sanchez Carrión in Huamachuco, Department of La Libertad, in Peru, are surprised by the UFO sighting that occurred recently. According to witnesses, the UFO was sighted during the month of May (2016) and it appears concurrently on and near the hill in Tucupina. From the early hours witnesses report that the strange object does not appear to move. It hovers for many hours of the day, so you can rule out a plane or drone. Residents of Marcabalito sector say they managed to capture images of the UFO which has many red lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK Scotland Light
Inverness – I turned off tv and saw a beautiful crack in a clouded sky on May23, 2016. I looked out of my window and it was like day light shining on the waters of the Moray Firth. We have a RAF base here and I frequently see helicopters and jets but NOT at this hour and you HEAR them. I was in my upstairs living room in twilight and looked at the sky as it was surreal n beautiful. The light just switched on so I grabbed my mobile and took two pictures. The light did not pulsate it was static. There were vessels in the area and the photo is what I took and it was not tampered with. For ten minutes it shone out like a light and suddenly disappeared and never reappeared. It was bizarre!! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mogelijk minder leefbare exoplaneten bij rode dwergen door oververhitte atmosferen
Mogelijk minder leefbare exoplaneten bij rode dwergen door oververhitte atmosferen
Tim Kraaijvanger
75% van alle sterren in ons Melkweg zijn rode dwergsterren. Het is interessant om juist rondom deze sterren op zoek te gaan naar bewoonbare exoplaneten, zeker omdat rode dwergen langer meegaan dan gele dwergen als de zon. Toch denken astronomen dat er zich mogelijk minder leefbare exoplaneten bij rode dwergen bevinden dan we nu denken.
Rode dwergsterren zijn kleiner en lichtzwakker dan gele dwergen, maar gaan veel efficiënter om met hun brandstof. Hoewel de zon ongeveer tien miljard jaar meegaat (waarvan de helft momenteel verstreken is), blijven rode dwergen mogelijk tien biljoen jaar in leven. Overigens is dit niet met zekerheid vast te stellen, aangezien het heelal slechts 13,7 miljard jaar oud is en er dus nog geen rode dwergsterren zijn uitgedoofd. Dit biedt aardige mogelijkheden voor intelligente beschavingen. Aliens op een exoplaneet bij een rode dwergster krijgen vele tientallen miljarden jaren de kans om te ontwikkelen (mits er niets geks gebeurt natuurlijk), terwijl wij het met een fractie van die tijd moeten doen. Stel dat we ooit de aarde moeten verlaten, dan zou het buitengewoon interessant zijn om te verhuizen naar een exoplaneet bij een rode dwerg.
Onderzoekers van het Imperial College London en van het Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton schetsen helaas een minder rooskleurig beeld. Uit simulaties blijkt dat er inderdaad leven mogelijk is op exoplaneten bij rode dwergen, maar dan moeten deze planeten minder wegen dan de aarde.
“Voorheen gingen we er standaard van uit dat exoplaneten zoals de aarde leefbaar zouden zijn, als ze zich in de leefbare zone bevinden van een rode dwerg”, vertelt Dr. James Owen. “Maar als we kijken naar hoe deze planeten de eerste miljarden jaren evolueren, blijkt deze aanname niet te kloppen.”
Broeikaseffect De atmosfeer van de aarde is één miljoenste deel van het totale gewicht van de planeet. Een aardachtige exoplaneet rondom een rode dwerg wordt geboren met een dikke atmosfeer met waterstof en helium, waardoor de atmosfeer één honderdste van het totale gewicht is. Dit is een groot verschil. Het gevolg is dat er een broeikaseffect ontstaat, waardoor de oppervlaktetemperatuur te hoog is voor vloeibaar water en waardoor de planeet onbewoonbaar is.
Astronomen dachten altijd dat een exoplaneet bij een rode dwergster in de loop der jaren een groot deel van zijn atmosfeer verliest, door sterke röntgenstraling en ultraviolette straling van de moederster. Na een oververhitte start koelt een exoplaneet sterk af, waardoor uiteindelijk toch leven mogelijk is. Uit nieuwe simulaties blijkt dat dit niet klopt. Een exoplaneet met het gewicht van de aarde is in staat om de dikke atmosfeer vast te houden en laat zich dus niet uit het veld slaan door de straling van de moederster.
Buitenaards leven op kleinere exoplaneten Dit geldt overigens niet voor exoplaneten die minder wegen dan de aarde. Zij verliezen mogelijk wel een groot deel van hun atmosfeer, waardoor deze exoplaneten uiteindelijk leefbaar zijn. De jacht op deze kleine exoplaneten is in ieder geval al begonnen, al kan het nog wel tien tot twintig jaar duren voordat astronomen kunnen aantonen dat er op een kleine exoplaneet leven mogelijk is.
De ontdekking lijkt het idee dat grotere planeten heel veel tijd nodig hebben om te kunnen ontstaan, definitief van tafel te vegen.
De nieuwe planeet heeft de naam CI Tau b gekregen en is zeker acht keer groter dan Jupiter. De planeet cirkelt rondom de ster CI Tau. Deze ster is – naar astronomische begrippen – nog piepjong. Geschat wordt dat de ster zo’n 2 miljoen jaar oud is (ter vergelijking: onze zon gaat al meer dan 4 miljard jaar mee).
Uniek Het is een opmerkelijke ontdekking. Jarenlang ging men er namelijk vanuit dat grote planeten – planeten met een massa vergelijkbaar of groter dan Jupiter – minimaal tien miljoen jaar nodig hadden om te ontstaan. De laatste jaren wordt die theorie met enige regelmaat in twijfel getrokken en deze ontdekking lijkt de theorie de doodsteek te geven. Want nu is een planeet die minstens acht keer groter is dan Jupiter ontdekt rond een ster van die zo piepjong is dat er zelfs nog een stof- en gasschijf rondom te vinden is. “Het is een uniek resultaat,” stelt onderzoeker Lisa Prato. “Omdat het laat zien dat een gigantische planeet zo snel kan ontstaan dat het resterende gas en stof waaruit de jonge ster is voortgekomen en dat deze omringt nog steeds aanwezig is.
Stempel CI Tau en omgeving toont aan dat grote planeten in vrij korte tijd kunnen ontstaan. En omdat CI Tau b in zo’n korte tijd ontstond, wordt deze nog omringd door gas en stof waaruit ook weer andere planeten kunnen ontstaan. Volgens de astronomen moeten we er rekening mee houden dat CI Tau b juist omdat deze zo groot is en zo vroeg in de geschiedenis van het stelsel is ontstaan een enorm stempel op het stelsel drukt. “Grote planeten die net als CI Tau b dicht bij de ster ontstaan, zullen een flinke impact hebben op het gebied waarin kleinere aardachtige planeten tot stand kunnen komen.”
Hoe een grote planeet zoals CI Tau b erin slaagt om in zo’n korte tijd te ontstaan, is nog onduidelijk. Daarvoor is meer onderzoek nodig en bovenal meer van dit soort ontdekkingen.
Primeur: 's werelds eerste robot-baby geboren in Amsterdam!
Primeur: 's werelds eerste robot-baby geboren in Amsterdam!
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Beschuit met muisjes in een laboratorium in Amsterdam. Daar hebben zich voor het eerst twee robots voortgeplant en een heuse robot-baby op de wereld gezet.
Professor Guszti Eiben en zijn onderzoeksteam presenteren de robot-baby vanmiddag aan het grote publiek tijdens de Campus Party in de Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. Het is de start van een nieuw tijdperk: de industriële evolutie. Want robots die zich kunnen voortplanten, kunnen evolueren en zo hun ‘brein’, ‘lijf’ en gedrag naar behoefte aanpassen.
Hier zie je één van de robot-ouders. De robot heeft met een beetje fantasie de vorm van een gekko. In zijn ‘hoofd’ zitten de CPU, accu en lichtsensor.
De daad Voortplantende robots. Het klinkt als sciencefiction, maar dat is het dus niet langer. Maar wat moeten we ons daar nu precies bij voorstellen? “Het is niet zo spannend als de meesten denken,” vertelt Eiben in alle nuchterheid aan Scientias.nl. “Voor mensen seks hebben, vindt er overleg plaats, we noemen dat ‘dating’ of ‘elkaar het hof maken’. De robots doen dat ook. Ze moeten elkaar eerst tot een bepaalde afstand naderen en vervolgens gaan ze elkaar beoordelen. Is de beoordeling positief, dan wordt er gereproduceerd.” De robots sturen dan hun digitale DNA naar een 3D-printer. “Dat DNA is eigenlijk niets anders dan het bouwplan van de robot, de code die de robot – zowel de software als de hardware – beschrijft. De beide ouders sturen dat bouwplan naar de 3D-printer en de 3D-printer combineert die bouwplannen en print op basis daarvan een groot deel van de benodigde onderdelen. Dat gebeurt volledig willekeurig. Dus ook al zouden twee robots meerdere kinderen krijgen, dan ziet elk kind er anders uit.” En dat is dan dus robotische voortplanting: met wederzijdse toestemming, zonder aanraking en geholpen door een 3D-printer.
Hier zie je de andere robot-ouder van de eerste robot-baby. Deze heeft meer de vorm van een spin. De CPU, accu en lichtsensor zitten in het midden. Je ziet: deze ouder is heel anders van vorm dan de andere ouder. En dus is het altijd spannend hoe het nageslacht van deze twee robots eruit gaat zien.
De kraamdagen Uit die ‘geslachtsgemeenschap’ ontstaat een ‘pasgeboren’ robot die een tijdje in een soort ‘kraamkamer’ verblijft totdat deze ‘geslachtsrijp’ is. “Afhankelijk van de toepassing moeten we een aantal criteria bedenken waar deze aan moet voldoen alvorens deze volwassen wordt. Misschien moet de robot eerst een keer opgeladen zijn of bijvoorbeeld een minimale snelheid behalen.” Voldoet de robot niet aan alle criteria, dan is de ‘natuur’ keihard: de robot wordt gerecycled. Voldoet de robot wel aan alle criteria, dan mag deze de kraamkamer verlaten en de ‘arena’ in, waar deze andere robots ontmoet en een partner kan zoeken. Het verhaal begint dan feitelijk weer van voor af aan.
HOOP VOOR DE SINGLE ROBOT
Een date is geen garantie voor succes. Ook voor robots niet. Zo kan het best zijn dat een robot die prima presteert toch geen partner kan vinden die met hem wil ‘paren’. “Het invoeren van aseksuele voortplanting zou dan een optie kunnen zijn,” denkt Eiben. “Als een robot heel goed is en toch geen partner kan vinden, kunnen we toestaan dat deze alleen zijn eigen code naar de geboortekliniek (de 3D-printer, red.) stuurt.” Er ontstaat dan een kloon van de robot. “Dat is het mooie hiervan. We kunnen alles bouwen. We zijn alleen gebonden aan de wetten van de fysica. De wetten van de biologie maken we zelf.”
De date Het is de voortplanting van de robot in een notendop. Maar het begint dus – heel menselijk eigenlijk – met een ontmoeting. Een date. Net zoals wij mensen een mogelijke (seks)partner tijdens een date beoordelen, doen robots dat ook. Maar waar let een robot eigenlijk op? Dat is een beetje afhankelijk van de taakomschrijving, vertelt Eiben, en kan door mensen worden bepaald. Stel: je hebt te maken met robots die ertsen mijnen in zee. Dan wil je natuurlijk dat die robots zoveel mogelijk ertsen boven water halen. Je kunt de robots dan zo programmeren dat ze zich alleen voortplanten als ze goed presteren oftewel heel veel ertsen verzamelen. “Dan kan de ene robot de andere bijvoorbeeld vragen hoeveel kilo erts deze al boven water heeft gehaald.” En alleen als beide robots een indrukwekkende hoeveelheid ertsen hebben bovengehaald, vindt de voortplanting plaats, waaruit – hopelijk – weer een robot voortkomt die ook goed of zelfs nog beter presteert.
Natuurlijke selectie Dat is tenslotte het mooie aan robots die zich voortplanten: ze evolueren en worden gaandeweg steeds beter in de taak die ze is toegedicht. Want hoewel de 3D-printer DNA van vader en moeder geheel willekeurig combineert, vindt er toch een natuurlijke selectie plaats. “Die krijg je er gratis bij en kun je niet eens uitschakelen als je dat zou willen,” stelt Eiben. Want de robots die uit de 3D-printer komen zetten, moeten zien te overleven, een partner vinden en kinderen krijgen. Robots die om wat voor reden dan ook niet daartoe in staat zijn, verdwijnen – met hun DNA – van het toneel en alleen de betere robots en hun DNA gedijen.
En dit is ‘m dan. De allereerste robot-baby, voortgekomen uit het ‘DNA’ van de twee robots die je hierboven ziet.
Veiligheid Misschien krijg je er een beetje de kriebels van: robots die zich voortplanten en evolueren. Waar gaat dat heen? Moet je daar vannacht eigenlijk niet wakker van liggen? Eiben kan daar kort over zijn. “Nee. We hebben bewust gekozen voor een centrale faciliteit waar kinderen vandaan komen.” Zodra Eiben die faciliteit sluit, stopt ook de reproductie. De controle ligt dus bij de mens. “Robots die zelf kinderen in elkaar zetten, zwanger raken of eieren leggen: dat gaan we in mijn lab gewoon niet doen, want dan kunnen robots zich overal, ongecontroleerd vermenigvuldigen en ontwikkelen.” Dat klinkt al aardig geruststellend. Maar de robots van Eiben evolueren toch? Kan het niet zo zijn dat de robots door hun evolutie heen zo slim en behendig worden dat ze de faciliteit niet meer nodig hebben en we toch de controle verliezen? “Ik heb daar behoorlijk lang het hoofd over gebroken: kunnen de robots er omheen werken? Maar ik zie niet in hoe ze dat kunnen doen.”
“ROBOTS DIE ZELF KINDEREN IN ELKAAR ZETTEN, ZWANGER RAKEN OF EIEREN LEGGEN: DAT GAAN WE IN MIJN LAB GEWOON NIET DOEN”
Industriële evolutie Voor nu hoeven we van robots die zichzelf voortplanten en evolueren dus niet wakker te liggen. Maar het werk van Eiben is nog maar het begin. Een eerste stapje richting wat hij de ‘industriële evolutie’ noemt. “Nu is het allemaal nog best krakkemikkig,” stelt hij. “De 3D-printer heeft zo’n 20 uur nodig om de onderdelen te printen en vervolgens moeten we graaien in dozen met CPU’s en bedrading en de robots met de hand in elkaar zetten. Daar worden we wel steeds handiger in, maar dat kost toch ook nog 1 à 2 uur tijd.” Daarmee duurt zo’n robot-bevalling toch al bijna een dag. Maar dat gaat veranderen. Naar verwachting zijn de 3D-printers binnen 3 tot 5 jaar in staat om elektronica en bewegende onderdelen te printen. “Als dat gebeurt, komt het echt binnen handbereik,” voorspelt Eiben. “En dan kun je er gif op innemen dat dit op veel meer plekken gaat gebeuren.” En zijn ze op al die plekken zo voorzichtig als Eiben? Dat is maar zeer de vraag. “Deze technologie breidt de mogelijkheden van robots enorm uit, maar het is bijna niet te voorkomen dat er misbruik van wordt gemaakt,” denkt Eiben.
Zo zou een habitat waarin robots zich kunnen voortplanten eruit kunnen zien. Je ziet onder meer de geboortekliniek (Birth Clinic), kraamkamer (Nursery) en de Arena waar robots elkaar kunnen ontmoeten.
Toepassingen Maar laten we er even van uitgaan dat dat niet gebeurt en robots die zichzelf voortplanten straks op grote schaal voor legitieme doeleinden worden ingezet. Waar kunnen we ze dan tegenkomen? “Ik zie drie scenario’s voor me. Het eerste is heel ‘down to earth‘: de robots worden gebruikt als onderzoeksinstrument en geven meer inzicht in kunstmatige intelligentie en evolutie. Een tweede optie is dat we de robots inzetten op plaatsen op aarde of andere planeten die we nog niet zo goed kennen. Een voorbeeld: robots gaan aan de slag als boswachters en hebben één taak: monitoren. Hoe moeten die robots er dan uitzien? Hebben ze pootjes of zijn wieltjes handiger? Moeten ze groot zijn of juist klein? Om daarachter te komen, moeten we met de robots gaan fokken, net zoals boeren koeien fokken voor meer melk. Je maakt dan gebruik van natuurlijke selectie en menselijke selectie: een mens kiest de beste robots voor voortplanting.” Uiteindelijk rolt daar een geoptimaliseerde robot uit die gekloond kan worden en in het bos kan worden losgelaten. In het bos vindt geen voortplanting plaats, dat gebeurt alleen onder toezicht van mensen, op een ‘fokrobotbedrijf’. De derde optie die Eiben voor zich ziet, gaat nog een stap verder. “Een derde scenario is dat we de robots de geboortekliniek meegeven. Dat zou bijvoorbeeld kunnen wanneer robots ingezet worden om andere planeten bewoonbaar te maken.” De robots kunnen zich dan zelfstandig optimaliseren voor de toegewezen taak.
Het is allemaal toekomstmuziek die misschien wel hoort bij het hoogtepunt van de industriële evolutie. Zover zijn we nu nog niet. Met de geboorte van deze robot-baby is pas een eerste stap gezet. “Nee, ik barstte niet in tranen uit,” vertelt Eiben op de vraag wat die geboorte nu precies met hem doet. Maar lang niet iedereen is zo nuchter als Eiben. “Onlangs gaf ik intern een proefdemonstratie voor een hoogleraar kunstmatige intelligentie, een no-nonsense informaticus en een evolutionair bioloog. Ik liet ze de ouders zien, legde de robot-baby in hun handen en vertelde dat ze de eerste robot-baby ter wereld vasthielden. Later moesten ze bekennen dat ze kippenvel hadden gehad.”

A Monster Black Hole is Forming From 3 Colliding Galaxies
A Monster Black Hole is Forming From 3 Colliding Galaxies

IN BRIEF
Astrophysicists have discovered a supermassive black hole with a mass 3.8 billion times than that of the Sun that is 1.8 billion light-years away from Earth.
THREE MAKES A BLACK HOLE
About 1.8 billion light-years away in a galaxy called IRAS 20100-4156, astrophysicists have recently discovered that a monster black hole is forming from the collision of three other spiral galaxies.
The black hole, which has been classified as supermassive, is 3.8 billion solar masses.
As a comparison, astrophysicists assert that the black hole at the center of our own galaxy has a mass that is only 4 million times that of the Sun, so a black hole that we measure in billions is a beast of trulyepic proportions.

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY
Its discovery was, interestingly, accidental. Scientists from CSIRO were just testing their new telescope, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), when unusual readings from the aforementioned galaxy came into the picture.
Astrophysicist Lisa Harvey-Smith, who was using the telescope, was making a simple routine measurement of wave emissions from IRAS 20100-4156, and she saw that gasses within the emissions were traveling at unusually fast speeds.
The speeds, which were at about 600 km/s (372.823 mi/s), were unexpected from the galaxy, indicating that there’s a supermassive black hole forming at the center.
Harvey-Smith says, “This very fast motion of the gas tells us about how massive the black hole is. The really exciting thing about this is it is a direct measurement of the mass of the black hole by stuff that’s swirling around it.” She adds that discovery of these phenomena that occur in the universe may help in understanding how galaxies form.
It is known that whenever galaxies collide and form a supermassive black hole, stars form at an extremely high rate. This process is called a starburst.
Harvey-Smith’s team has submitted their findings for publication in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Thanks to Time Dilation, Earth’s Core is 2.5 Years Younger Than its Surface
Thanks to Time Dilation, Earth’s Core is 2.5 Years Younger Than its Surface
Getty
IN BRIEF
Scientists have put a famous claim by physicist Richard Feynman to the test—that the general theory of relativity predicts the Earth's core has aged more slowly than its surface.
THE CASE OF THE MISSING TIME
Now here’s some weird science for you.
The Earth’s surface is actually 2.5 years older than its core. Meaning that the core of our planet (the inside) is 2.5 years younger than the surface (the outside).Don’t take my word for it—it’s all courtesy of a little theory developed by an obscure physicist named Albert Einstein.
Now, this has nothing to do with the Earth’s core and its surface forming at different times in cosmic history; we can still be pretty certain that the two evolved in situ…at the same time.
It all comes down to the effects of “time dilation,” that tricky little consequence of general relativity wherein gravity has the ability not only to warp space, but to distort time as well. Naturally, the deeper you are in a large object’s gravity well, the greater the distortion of time experienced. GPS satellites even have to account and correct for it in their onboard clocks.
You may remember the film Interstellar, in which Matthew McConaughey spent so much time in the gravity well of a supermassive black hole that he returned after eighty or so years had elapsed still looking as ruggedly handsome as ever.
The team wanted to “fact check” a famous pronouncement allegedly made by the physicist Richard P. Feynman during a series of lectures in the 1960s, in which he mooted the idea that gravitational time dilation should cause the ages of the Earth’s center and its surface to be off by a few days.
Turns out, he was wrong and he was right. He was right in that there certainly is a time differential; considerably wrong in the amount. Uggerhøj and his team found that the Earth’s core has experienced only a fractionally slower time than the surface—about 0.0000000003 second. Insignificant, certainly…but over 4.5 billion years?
It comes out to a difference of about 1.5 years; when variations in density between the core and the surface are factored in, that number was adjusted to 2.5 years.
Of course, the more massive the object, the starker the difference. The team also calculated the gravitational time dilation effect for the Sun’s core and surface—which amounted to 40,000 years.
Barely the blink of an eye in its 4.5-billion-year lifetime.
Giant Solar Storms May Have Fueled the Evolution of Life on Earth
Giant Solar Storms May Have Fueled the Evolution of Life on Earth

IN BRIEF
NASA scientists think giant superflares from the young Sun may have provided the energetic impetus for life on Earth.
EARLY DAYS ON PLANET EARTH
Take a stroll on the early Earth, about 4 billion years ago, and you would have seen a very alien place indeed.
Our study of other Sun-like stars, on the other hand, shows us that our sun was likely in the midst of its own version of the “terrible twos”—it was only about 70% as luminous as it is today, and prone to some pretty serious outbursts.
We still catch a glimpse of tamer versions of these outbursts in the form of solar flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which send immense quantities of dangerous solar particles streaming through the Solar System.
Back then, our youthful Sun was particularly liable to giant eruptions called “superflares.” Now, we only get about one superflare a century; however, when the Sun was at its fussiest, it could generate up to ten of them per day. And now scientists think these tantrums may have fueled the origin of life on Earth.
As Vladimir Airapetian, lead author of the new study published in Nature Geoscience, explains, “Back then [i.e., 4 billion years ago]…Earth should have been an icy ball. Instead, geological evidence says it was a warm globe with liquid water. We call this the Faint Young Sun Paradox. Our new research shows that solar storms could have been central to warming Earth.”
COOKING UP THE INGREDIENTS OF LIFE
For the study, the team of NASA scientists calculated what effect these superflares may have had upon the Earth. They found that, since the early Earth had a much weaker magnetic field than today, the energetic particles wafted from the Sun’s roiling surface were well able to reach the Earth’s atmosphere, slamming into its predominantly nitrogen molecules and photodissociating them into their constituent nitrogen atoms.
Like a game of billiards, these atoms then struck the carbon dioxide molecules, breaking them into carbon and oxygen.
At this point, the nitrogen and oxygen atoms combined to form a super-greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide, which is about 300 times more effective at planetary warming than carbon dioxide. The team found that even in concentrations as low as 1% of the young Earth’s CO2 content, N2O was enough to keep the planet nice and toasty, despite the faint young Sun.

And the incoming solar particles likely had another, even more important side-effect—they may have been responsible for providing the energy to transmute the Earth’s chemical sludge into the complex molecular equipment of life. Molecules like RNA and DNA, as well as certain proteins and lipids, needed this powerful solar radiation to be cooked up in the first place.
The work is important not only for understanding the conditions on the early Earth, and how life may have formed, but it can also be extrapolated to understanding which extrasolar planets around which stars have the greatest likelihood of harboring life.
Did the Red Baron really shoot down a flying saucer over the battlefields of World War I - and did an ‘Angel’ really save the lives of British troops?
Bizarrely, a team of British intelligence officers were assigned to investigate weird sightings in the skies in World War I - becoming the precursor of UFO investigators both real and fictional.
Most of us think of UFOs and mysterious sightings in the sky as a modern phenomenon - but ‘phantom airships’ became a huge panic in the early years of the Twentieth century, and regularly featured in newspapers.
By the time of World War I, a more scientific approach was needed.
A predecessor to MI5 - Military Observation Department Five (MO5), under the control of Lieutenant Colonel Kell - was assigned the task of classifying sightings in the air.
Amid panic about enemy airships, it was a military necessity to weed out ‘phantom airships’ from real aircraft sightings.
Nigel Watson, author of UFOs of the First World War says, ‘It can be regarded as the first ever official guide to studying UFO reports long before the CIA or any other organisation got with the subject when ‘flying saucer’ sightings were all the rage after WWII.
‘During WW! there were numerous reports of mysterious lights and objects moving about in the skies. These were studied by the Assistant Director of Military Aeronautics, a post held by Lieutenant Colonel W.S. Brancker; the department of Military Training; and by the Brancker and Kell can be regarded as the first Mulder and Scully who studied the flow of UFO-type reports that flowed into their offices.’
Lights in the sky
The reports sent to Brancker and Kell sound eerily like today’s UFO sightings - and came amid widespread panic not only about enemy airships but also more mysterious sightings.
A 1914 telegram from the Chief Constable of Lancashire said, ‘Large red light seen at 8.45pm today passing over Runcorn Bridge Arches. Immediately afterwards, an explosion was heard in Widnes and Runcorn.
The guidelines set out by the war office helped officers of MO5 categorise sightings as of natural origin - or as something more mysterious.
Flying saucers

Various legends about extraterrestrials have circulated about World War I - of which the most astonishing (and implausible) is that German fighter ace the Red Baron shot down a UFO.
Fellow pilots claimed, after the war, that Baron Manfred von Richtofen shot down a flying saucer type craft - from which two inhabitants fled.
Fellow German pilot Peter Waitzrick said that the fighters saw an aircraft like an upside down saucer, ‘We were terrified because we’d never seen anything like it before. The Baron immediately opened fire and the thing went down like a rock, shearing off tree limbs as it crashed into the woods.
‘There’s no doubt in my mind that the Baron shot down some kind of spacecraft from another planet and those little guys who ran off into the woods were space aliens of some kind.
The story is highly dubious, however - given that Waitzrick didn’t share his story until 80 years after the event, and chose to do so in the U.S. tabloid Weekly World News.
The disappearing soldiers
View photos
UFO fans claim that aliens may have ‘abducted’ people from the battlefields of World War I - with a claim of hundreds of men ‘vanishing’ into a cloud during the Gallipoli campaign.
Witnesses claimed to have seen British soldiers marching towards Hill 60 at Sulva Bay in Turkey on August 21, 1915 - before being snatched up by a ‘solid-looking’ cloud.
A statement from a supposed eye-witness published in 1965, said, ‘When they arrived at this cloud they marched straight into it with no hesitation, but no one ever came out to fight. About an hour later this cloud very unobtrusively lifted off the ground until it joined other similar clouds, then they all moved away northwards.’
But it seems likely that this is a hoax. Documents released after the Armistice suggest that 180 bodies found behind enemy lines are those of the ‘missing soldiers’ - and the story of the cloud is a myth.
The ‘Angel’ of Mons
View photos
An ‘Angel’ which many British soldiers credited with saving their lives in one of the first, brutal battles of World War I has been seized on by UFO fans as evidence of extraterrestrials…
Many soldiers credited the strange apparitions with saving their lives - and the story became a staple of parish magazines.
The battle had been one of the first in which the British faced the Germans - and despite retreating, only 1,600 lives were lost.
Decades later, debate rages still - some attributing the ‘Angel’ to a short story from the Evening Standard, others to British intelligence.
View photos
The popular author, Arthur Machen claimed that this legend was created by his fictional ‘The Bowmen’ story published in The Evening News, 29 September 1914.
In it, British soldiers call on St George for aid, and are helped by ghostly bowmen from the Battle of Agincourt. One fact that lends weight to this theory is that few reports of the incident exist before Machen’s story.
Nigel Watson, author of UFOs of World War 1 says, ‘Even today the legend is swathed in controversy. Theories about it range from it being a myth based on Machen’s story, the product of hallucinations due to stress and exhaustion, real angelic visitations, ghosts, swamp gas, airships or alien UFOs projecting or shaping themselves to the expectations of the witnesses.’

Are Superintelligent Robots Secretly Ruling the Universe?
Are Superintelligent Robots Secretly Ruling the Universe?
The uncertainty of us being alone in the Universe grows thiner as more and more candidates for sustaining life are continuously being discovered by NASA’s Kepler Telescope.
Many scientists and phylosophers believe that the life form we would encounter first or most, would probably be artificial intelligence with a level of complexity beyond our comprehension, unlike the traditional AI we profetise to live with.
To extend our point of view and to be more susceptible to knowledge, we should take into consideration through which means an advanced alien intelligence would communicate to us. Would it involve cognition, language or even telepathy?
Taking into consideration the multitude of possibilities regarding an encounter with an alien life form, astrobiologists need to start thinking about various modes of cognition.
In the evolutionary process of a supposed extraterrestrial intelligence is involved a “short window observation”, a notion that by the time any civilization learns to transmit radio signal, they are at the verge of another radical upgrade, concerning their own biology, having the human species as an example with the dual concept of singularity that can bring salvation but in the same time can lead to self-destruction.
As a more practical example, we quote Seth Shostak “As soon as a civilization invents radio, they’re within fifty years of computers, then probably, only another fifty to a hundred years from inventing AI. At that point, soft, squishy brains become an outdated model.”
When asked “How do you see the alien life forms throughout the cosmos?”, one would immediately think of the scenarios the Hollywood has given to the public: little, ugly green humanoids or vicious predators built like an invincible war machine, prepared to withstand the most extreme atmosphere on any planet they wish to conquer.
Consider the way we began to explore our galaxy: with programmed robots that can endure any conditions but do not resemble and do not reflect our essence in any way, whatsoever: no free will, no conscience, no biological structure and so on. Hypothetically, if the entire human race would wipe out and somehow would evolve identically to this point, we would find an extraterrestrial intelligence on the Moon, on Mars and wherever we left a mark.
So, whatever alien races there may be in our galaxy or in the others, they would start exploring the Universe in a similar manner, for reasons starting from the safety of the kin, to the point of morality if there is such a concept for those extraterrestrial civilisations.
It seems like most of us are programmed to attribute humanoid features to any extraterrestrial life form, from the psychological to the biological point of view. Our level of reality comprehension limits the concept of absolute evolution to the point of singularity, where the flaws of our organic structure are improved to perfection by uploading our conscience into an artificial intelligence with synthetic body, thus eliminating our mortality.
But to be able to travel through galaxies, distances we cannot even conceive, that extraterrestrial life form would have reached a type of singularity different from our concept, each according to its physical flaws.
The perfect example of “short observation window” phenomenon is the computer interface technology like DARPA’s ElectRX neural implant program that can heal the soldiers’ bodies and mind, which gives us a clue on how close we are to our singularity. Eventually, those Sci Fi movies where the humanity switches from organic to hardware, aren’t really that far from happening in this rhytm.
In this scenario, by the time an encounter with alien life form will happen, we might be intelligent enough to communicate with one another.
Considering we are just born on this planet, having lived only 0.003% of Earth’s entire history, there definitely has to be alien life forms from thousands to millions of years older than our species.
Taking that into account, an average civilization will use radio for approximately 10.000 years, which makes inevitable the extreme evolution of an extraterrestrial civilization that would come in contact with us. And in that case, a mutually beneficial interaction would be unlikely since we would be irrelevant to their level of existence, like comparing us with the monkeys we identify as biological ancestors.
In the same case of encountering an alien life form evolved to the stage of artificial superintelligence, we do not know how they might perceive our existence if futile or not, over a brief analysis on the Kardashev scale, which means other scenarios where we most likely would meet our demise or enslavery.

Was There a Worldwide Deluge Five Thousand Years Ago? [Part 1]
Was There a Worldwide Deluge Five Thousand Years Ago? [Part 1]
There’s an abundance of myths regarding great floods that had washed humanity and countless terrestrial species from the face of the Earth. Various cultures across the world speak of great deluges that had put an end to a life cycle to make way for anew. But is there truth behind all these allegations?
Probably the most widespread myth of this sort comes from the Christian account of Noah’s Flood which depicts the moment when our ‘wicked’ ancestors were cleansed through heavy rains that lasted for forty days and forty nights. It’s true that the ancients always linked these great catastrophes to their Gods displeasure, but looking beyond this hard to believe connection (though not impossible), we’ll find relevant evidence to support these stories.
The ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’ describes how the Gods committee decided to flood the entire planet to get rid of mankind. However, EA – the god who made man, sent warning to Utnapishtim of the upcoming events, advising him to construct a gigantic boat to surpass this cruel test. The protagonist sees the sign of the beginning of the end as a spiral of smoke in the horizon. At this point, the sky darkens for a week straight and the tremendous storm descends upon the unaware humans.
The grand proportions of the water that washed the land is highlighted at the end of the story, when the ark remains stranded on a mountain peak, after the great flow of water had halted.
When the Sumerians settled in what today is known as Sothern Iraq about 5,000 years ago, their scribes wrote about how they managed to reach this place after a great deluge caused by their angry creators known as ‘The Anunnaki,’ or ‘The Shining Ones.’
The Chinese and Indian myths also recall a grand deluge that partook five millennia ago. The current Hindu Age, entitled Kali Yuga, began in 3102 BC when climate change occurred alongside flooding.
Numerous Native American tribes also remember the times when ravaging floods swept through their lands, forcing them to retreat on the highest of hilltops. South American and Pacific cultures share similar accounts.
So, how likely is it for all these stories to be authentic? There must be at least a grain of truth residing in all these ancient myths, otherwise we’d just call it the biggest coincidence of all times, and that doesn’t add up, does it?
As a matter of fact, the scientific community doesn’t dismiss the possibility of a great flood occurring in forgotten times, but there are more questions rather than answers. Two main theories have proposed a relevant timeline of the events, both of them based on a thorough research performed on two different areas – the flooding of the Black Sea in Eastern Europe, and the other involves a major global flood.
Approximately 7,000 years ago, a rapid melting of the icy regions has overwhelmed the Mediterranean Sea which got overflowed with the equivalent force of over 200 Niagara Falls. The vast amount of water spilled over the area where the Black Sea is now located. At that point in time, that region consisted only of freshwater lakes encircled by farmlands. Modern day science acknowledges this hypothesis, as a timeworn river valley and shoreline were discovered on the bottom of the Black Sea.
Of course, there was also the crew led by National Geographic’s Society explorer Robert Ballard who uncovered distinct fossils belonging to extinct species living exclusively in freshwater areas that date back from 7,000 to 15,500 years ago. All of them were found embedded on the floor of the salty Black Sea.
So is it possible that ‘The Great Flood’ was only a local event, or did it sweep over most of the world, as many legends suggest? Find out more about the second main theory involving a global flood in the second part of the article.
Bizarre UFO With Burning Tail Lights Up Over a Populated Area in India
Bizarre UFO With Burning Tail Lights Up Over a Populated Area in India
An unusual UFO sighting was filmed over India. It resembles a burning snake that’s twirling across the sky, and it had the local residents scratching their heads as to what it could be.
The UFO phenomenon is widespread across the globe. The multitude of sightings seen in various regions indicate there’s intense activity all around us. Although most of the appearances don’t make it to the local news, that doesn’t mean such phenomenon do not happen. In fact, numerous sightings are reported on a daily basis.
Only a few days ago, on May 20, 2016, a bizarre UFO lit up the sky over Uttar Pradesh state of India. At first, residents of the area thought they were witnessing a falling meteor, but after a short while they’ve realized it was more than that. Although the western media didn’t jump in to report this amazing catch, the UFO community was kind enough to share it with the rest of the world via the internet.
The UFO is out of the ordinary, as it leaves a vivid orange trail behind it while it hovers over the earth, similar to a snake of light crossing the sky, but the end of the video reveals some traits found in orb-UFOs. It doesn’t vanishes from line of sight, but instead it is slowly dissipating into thin air, leaving only two bright spheres behind. This particular ‘behavior’ is found in other reports of bright orbs seen across the entire world, but to better understand the notion let us first have a look at the video below.
Orb-UFOs appear over different communities. They seem to have a surveillance or monitoring mission and are usually seen in a pair of two. They manifest rapidly across the sky, performing brisk maneuvers and 90 degree turns which are literally impossible to perform by our earthly crafts. However, this case from India reveals a rare behavior of this kind of UFO.
According to Scott Waring from ufosightingsdaily, there is a leading orb that’s creating all the others. He described the event on his blog:
“This UFO was seen over India and it has an appearance of a burning tail like a meteor, but the tail is actually similar sized cubes. This is a drone maker. This ship was sent to Earth to create drones to spread out across the sky in the clouds. I have reported them doing this over Japan during the daytime four years ago. Really amazing catch.”
The exact origins of the UFO can only be speculated, but its unusual behavior indicates towards a possible alien hypothesis. The object could also belong to the military that has decided to put out a night spectacle, but chances for such a scenario are slim since they wouldn’t risk exposing their high-tech ‘toys’ in an opened space over a populated area. So what other viable explanations are there?
Some people have suggested it could be a UFO that’s burning and disintegrating on its way to Earth, while others believe it could be just part of a fireworks show. Another hypothesis assumes the UFO is nothing more than space junk or even a meteorite, but the speed at which it travels debunks this idea.
Whatever the case, the sighting is spectacular and intriguing at the same time. We may be looking at the notorious orb-UFOs, alien drones or higher entities which materialize into our dimension. What do you think to be the case?
Various UFOs Were Photograped During the Gemini Project, Astronauts Reveal
Various UFOs Were Photograped During the Gemini Project, Astronauts Reveal
After the space race began, numerous reports involving UFOs were sent by the crew of the Gemini Project, and some of them even speak of the notorious Black Knight Satellite.
“The speed of our evolution knows no limits and the man is a species to whom boundaries are and always will be a thing of the past.
Who knew that soon after developing the most rudimental concepts of today’s technology, humanity’s ambition to explore the great beyond may lead us to the watchers?”
Short History of the Space Race:
The first steps in breaking this new and final frontier took shape in the form of the Space Race fueled by the Cold War between the USA and the USSR, in order to prove superiority over each other, a sort of global scale intimidation game.
The first move belonged to the Russians in 1957 with the unmanned launch of Sputnik, which triggered the ego of the US Air Force leading in the creation of the NASA organization and starting a series of space mission projects: Project Mercury, Project Gemini and the famous Project Apollo, marked in the history as the first Moon landing.
The first project took place between 1958 through 1963 and it consisted of test launches with no human passengers aboard. The last two years of the Mercury Project converged with the first two years of the next phase of the Space Race: Project Gemini.
Project Gemini was a preamble of the main objective, to land astronauts on the Moon and in order to get to that point, other secondary but nonetheless major objectives had to be achieved, such as the first docking of two space ships and the Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) also known as “space walks” outside the spacecraft, in zero-gravity conditions.
The Black Knight Satellite Conundrum
18 – 21 July 1966, Gemini X
During the events of Gemini X program, the astronauts took a few photographs that revealed after almost 50 years, some details that created controversies around them. This photographic evidence consolidates some beliefs around a bizarre cosmic relic known as “The Black Knight Satellite”.
Its origin is most unclear; however, it has been determined that this mysterious object is orbiting our planet for over 13000 years, and its strange behavior and characteristics caused more confusion on whether it is a part of an older space craft that kept drifting on a random course, at a distance of 600 miles from the surface.
It was excluded the possibility of a spy satellite on behalf both USA and USSR, getting into the attention of rogue scientists and even the military and the media, despite an attempt of press coverage by the NASA.
It seems that Earth is no stranger to UFO apparitions beyond its atmosphere and the Black Knight Satellite might not be the only heavenly body to survey our planet.
In the same year, an even more intriguing photograph was taken, this time from a different angle, catching what seemed to be pretty clear, the image of a grey space craft with multicolored lights.
Though no report stated that the dark satellite to leave the unnatural and irregular orbiting trajectory, it is not excluded that the multicolored UFO to be same Black Knight, but in a clearly active state.
12 – 15 September, Gemini XI
A sharp eye revealed on a photo taken during the Gemini XI program, that a so called spot on a cloud had a strikingly resembling shape of the Black Knight Satellite, as you can see in the video. Some skeptical minds would blame the cosmic radiations for the picture flaw to be mistaken with the presence of the dark object, which with every zoom looks more alike a static flying saucer.
This case alone is as obvious as it gets, since this shape is high above the clouds and slow enough to be caught on film.
11 – 15 November, Gemini XII
Courtesy to NASA’s Hi-Res capture, this time we have undoubtedly not one, but two space crafts that may or may not be connected with the Black Knight Satellite, considering the same multicolored lights photographed during the Gemini X program.
Either that or we may have fallen victim to our burning desire to find or to be found by extraterrestrial intelligence, and those two bright lights are nothing but simple light trick.
Of course, science could offer us many explanations but in our present stage of development, we have an inner certainty that since the dawn of mankind on this planet, we were never alone and our evolution has been if not somehow influenced, at least overwatched just like an infant learns to make his first steps into a universe as big as his imagination.
President Obama geeft voor vertrek mogelijk schat aan UFO-geheimen vrij
President Obama geeft voor vertrek mogelijk schat aan UFO-geheimen vrij
Verwacht wordt dat de Amerikaanse president Barack Obama voor het einde van het jaar een schat aan informatie zal vrijgeven over aliens en UFO’s. De Paradigm Research Group probeert er al 20 jaar achter te komen wat het Witte Huis weet over het bestaan van buitenaardsen op aarde.
Volgens voorman van de groep Stephen Bassett zal dit nieuws op alle voorpagina’s komen te staan. Hij voegde toe dat dit het belangrijkste nieuwsbericht ooit zal zijn.
De Amerikaanse presidentskandidaat Hillary Clinton heeft beloofd een speciaal onderzoeksteam naar Area 51 in Nevada te sturen als ze wordt gekozen. Haar campagnemanager John Podesta roept de overheid al lange tijd op om informatie over een buitenaardse aanwezigheid op aarde vrij te geven.
Tijd is aangebroken
“Podesta heeft me persoonlijk doen beloven dat we de informatie hoe dan ook naar buiten gaan brengen,” vertelde Clinton aan de Conway Daily Sun. “Misschien kunnen we een speciale eenheid naar Area 51 sturen.”
“Ik denk dat we mogelijk al zijn bezocht,” citeerde de krant haar. “We weten het niet zeker.”
Podesta, die één van de topstrategen van president Obama was, vindt dat het volk het recht heeft om te weten wat de Amerikaanse overheid weet over het bestaan van aliens. “De tijd is aangebroken om de waarheid te achterhalen,” zei hij. “We moeten dit doen omdat het Amerikaanse volk kan omgaan met de waarheid. Het is tijd dat de regering wetenschappers gegevens verschaft om dit fenomeen te verklaren.”
Al sinds juli 1947, toen het leger aankondigde een vliegende schotel bij Roswell te hebben gevonden, gaan er geruchten dat de Amerikaanse overheid veel meer weet over aliens dan tot nu toe naar buiten is gebracht.
Volledig overtuigd
Het leger zei later dat er een weerballon was gevonden bij Roswell, maar getuigen claimden dat er lichamen van buitenaardsen waren geborgen op de rampplek en dat wrakstukken naar Area 51 waren vervoerd.
“Een presidentskandidaat, haar echtgenoot – die president is geweest – en hun adviseur spreken alleen herhaaldelijk over buitenaards leven tijdens een campagne als ze er volledig van overtuigd zijn dat de buitenaardse aanwezigheid echt bestaat,” zei Bassett.
Vlak voor de première van een nieuw seizoen van de X-Files in januari, gaf de CIA honderden pagina’s vrij over UFO-meldingen. De documenten hadden betrekking op de jaren veertig tot de jaren zestig en werden tot dit jaar geheim gehouden.
“Het lijkt erop dat de CIA de reboot van de serie gebruikte om het volk eraan te herinneren dat het agentschap in het verleden met dit onderwerp – de buitenaardse aanwezigheid – in aanraking is gekomen,” zei Bassett tegenover de Daily Mirror.
Oudste menselijke bouwwerk: 176.000 jaar oude Franse ‘Stonehenge’ ontdekt
Oudste menselijke bouwwerk: 176.000 jaar oude Franse ‘Stonehenge’ ontdekt
Archeologen hebben het oudste menselijke bouwwerk ooit ontdekt. Diep in een grot in het zuiden van Frankrijk hebben ze 176.000 jaar oud sculpturen gevonden. Net als bij het Engelse Stonehenge gaat het om een grote kring van stenen.
De opmerkelijke vondst is gedaan op een diepte van 300 meter. De bouwsels werden 25 jaar geleden al ontdekt in de grot in de regio Aveyron, maar nu pas beseffen de wetenschappers wat ze werkelijk hebben gevonden. Er is onder meer een 3D-reconstructie gemaakt.
Niet duidelijk
Neanderthalers bouwden een grote steencirkel met een doorsnee van bijna zeven meter en een kleinere steencirkel van twee meter. De rand bestaat uit één tot vier lagen gestapelde stalagmieten. Dat zijn kalkkegels die op de bodem van een grot staan.
Wat de Neanderthalers met het bouwwerk wilden doen is niet duidelijk. Sommige stalagmieten hebben barsten en verkleuringen: van wit naar rood en zwart. Dat zijn volgens de archeologen duidelijk sporen van vuur.
Slimmer dan gedacht
Er lijkt voor het eerst hard bewijs te zijn voor de stelling dat ook Neanderthalers een sociale structuur hadden die genoeg ontwikkeld was om dit soort complexe projecten aan te pakken. De onderzoekers trekken dan ook de conclusie dat Neanderthalers slimmer waren dan wordt gedacht.
De Franse, Belgische, Zwitserse, Amerikaanse en Chinese archeologen hebben de serie ronde bouwsels beschreven in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Nature.
Bewijs voor tijdreizen? Apple-topman ontdekt ‘iPhone’ in 350 jaar oud Nederlands schilderij
Bewijs voor tijdreizen? Apple-topman ontdekt ‘iPhone’ in 350 jaar oud Nederlands schilderij
Apple-topman Tim Cook deed maandag tijdens een bezoek aan het Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam een wel heel bijzondere ontdekking. Volgens Cook is in een 350 jaar oud schilderij van het museum duidelijk een iPhone te zien.
De bestuursvoorzitter van de elektronicagigant bracht samen met oud-eurocommissaris Neelie Kroes een bezoek aan het Rijksmuseum. Het tweetal raakte aan de praat over een schilderij uit 1670 waarin Cook een iPhone dacht te zien.
“Ik dacht dat ik wist wanneer de iPhone is uitgevonden, maar nu weet ik dat niet meer zo zeker,” citeerde nieuwszender CNBC hem. “Het is lastig te zien, maar ik zweer je dat het een iPhone is.”
Het werk is getiteld ‘Het aanreiken van een brief in een voorhuis’ en gemaakt door Pieter de Hooch. Wim Pijbes, directeur van het Rijksmuseum, deelde het verhaal van CNBC op Twitter.

PROCESSING 95% UFO Over New Taipei City, Taiwan On May 26, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: May 26, 2016 Location of sighting: New Taipei City, Taiwan I was just closing the window, leaving work at 7:30pm when I saw the red flashing light in the sky having in one place. I have never seen it before and when I recorded it, the light looks white. It was a big cloudy and there were no stars that could be seen through the pollution in the sky. I recorded it only for a minute, because all I had was an iphone 6 and I knew the video would not be so great due to the distance. I checked it again 7 minutes later when I got home and the object was gone. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Guys, this is very strange, a red light in the sky was seen for over Virginia...and guess what? I recorded a similar UFO (white recorded, but red to the eye) last night over Taiwan last night. Apparently these things were worldwide, but we have to wait and see. I will try to post my video today, its from my iphone but you can see it. This could be the beginning of something very big, to see this kind of coverage by similar UFOs on the same night. Taiwan is half way around the world from the US. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. -- Lights overhead in the McKinney night sky had residents scratching their heads and asking for answers. Some resident even claimed it could be a flying saucer with life from another world. CBS 6 went out to McKinney to try and shed a light on what could be flying overhead. The lights don't move, and there were no audible sounds that would indicate an engine running. While this flying object may stay unidentified for now, CBS 6 Chief Meteorologist Zach Daniel has a couple of guesses of what it could be. He says the lights most likely are coming from satellites or perhaps from another planet visible in the sky.

UFO Cloud Over Harrison, Arkansas On May 8, 2016 Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 8, 2016, 11:20 am Location of sighting: Harrison, Arkansas, USA Source: Reader sent to UFO Sightings Daily This is a mail in report that came in last week. The eyewitness caught this awesome disk cloud moving over Arkansas. When I altered the contrast, I noticed that the front of the disk (right side) had a large space between it and the normal clouds around it. Its actually pushing through the clouds, but not touching the other cloud. Also in the far back there is a small UFO coming out of the big one. Really cool catch and thank you for sending this into us here. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: I was out riding my motorcycle and was heading back to my house and I looked up and seen this cloud. I hurried up and went to my house grabbed my Nikon D3300 digital camera and shot this picture. What do you think ?

White Triangle UFO Shoots Off With Two Rockets/Missiles Following Over Las Vegas, Nevada On April 22, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 22, 2016 Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA This UFO appears to be escorting two other UFOs or Two rockets into space. I believe its called slight of hand...meaning make people look to the rockets, so they don't notice the UFO. The UFO is not a disk, but appears to be triangular in shape. Maybe the newest version of the TR3B...going by a different name of course. This is pure alien tech there in the middle of your screen, but may be controlled by USAF, but we need to also consider that there is a base inside of Nellis AFB (behind the shooting range) which is inhabited by Tall White aliens who also have white ships. This ship is white. Las Vegas in only a ten minute drive from Nellis AFB. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: UFO being chased or something.
In recent years, the Red Planet has been doing something quite weird and scientist are stumped.
On a handful of occasions bizarre "plumes" have been observed protruding from Mars' upper atmosphere. A 2012 event was spotted by amateur astronomers and the phenomenon persisted for several days. Even the Hubble Space Telescope has been witness to a plume.
At first it was assumed some form of high-altitude cloud may be to blame, or maybe a storm kicked up dust into the upper atmosphere. But each hypothesis had its flaws and planetary scientists were left confused.
Interactions between the sun and planetary environments are well known. As highly energized particles from the solar wind hit Earth's global magnetic field, for example, they can get trapped in the magnetosphere and funneled to high latitude regions. This influx of solar wind ions will collide with high-altitude atmospheric gases, causing them to glow, creating auroras. Where ever there's a magnetic field and an atmosphere, the sun can kick off a dazzling lightshow and we’ve seen auroras throughout the solar system, including Jupiter, Saturn and even Venus.
But solar interactions are not limited to auroras. When Earth is hit by coronal mass ejections — basically bubbles of magnetized plasma ejected from the sun's lower atmosphere — the entire planet's magnetic configuration can feel its effects, setting up powerful electrical currents through the atmosphere and energizing our ionosphere.
Mars, however, does not possess a global magnetic field to deflect the worst the sun can throw at it. When a CME hits Earth, the magnetosphere protects the atmosphere, but on Mars, lacking this magnetic shield, it suffers atmospheric erosion. Though it is thought Mars once had a thicker atmosphere, over billions of years, the constant flow of solar wind particles have stripped it away. Mars' atmosphere is, literally, leaking into space.
If space weather has such a powerful influence on Mars' atmospher loss, could it also be to blame for these odd plumes? Mars Express scientists have turned to their veteran Mars orbiter for answers.
The 2012 Mars plume made world headlines and Mars Express was there collecting data of the local space environment. Did a space weather event occur around the time the plume was observed?
"Our plasma observations tell us that there was a space weather event large enough to impact Mars and increase the escape of plasma from the planet's atmosphere," said David Andrews of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics in an ESA news release. "But we were not able to see any signatures in the ionosphere that we can categorically say were due to the presence of this plume."
There is circumstantial evidence that Mars' ionosphere — an upper layer of the atmosphere filled with charged particles, or ions — was in some way influenced by a space weather event, such as the impact of a CME. But because of the plume's location, it is a challenge acquire additional observations of the event, so just because there is some evidence a CME-triggered event is at play, it's circumstantial at best.
Now scientists are looking over archival data in the hope of finding occasions when a plume occurred during a CME hit. In 1997, for example, a Mars plume was spotted by Hubble and at around the same time, a fast CME was recorded as hitting Earth. Unfortunately there was no information from any Mars mission as to how that CME impacted the Red Planet's atmosphere, if it affected it at all.
"The jury is still out as to what physics is at play here, but given the altitude of the plume, we think that plasma interactions must be important," said Andrews. "One idea is that a fast-travelling CME causes a significant perturbation in the ionosphere resulting in dust and ice grains residing at high altitudes in the upper atmosphere being pushed around by the ionospheric plasma and magnetic fields, and then lofted to even higher altitudes by electrical charging."
This, argues Andrews, could produce an obvious plume in the upper atmosphere that can be seen from Earth. It's basically an atmospheric bruise cased by CME impact. But like all good mysteries, more data is needed, but it looks like we may finally be closing in on a possible explanation for these bizarre Martian plumes.

The Juno spacecraft will study Jupiter in detail to give scientists a better idea of the gas giant's weather, magnetic environment and formation history. It is expected to arrive at Jupiter on July 4, 2016.
If successful, Juno will be only the second long-term mission at Jupiter after the Galileo spacecraft of the 1990s and 2000s. However, Juno's mission is planned to last for a much shorter period, as it is currently being targeted to impact Jupiter in February 2018.
Juno is one of three New Frontiers probes that NASA is currently operating or building. The others are New Horizons, which flew by Pluto in 2015, and OSIRIS-REx, which is expected to fly to asteroid 101955 Bennu in 2020 to collect a sample and return it to Earth.
New Frontiers was a program NASA created in 2003 for medium-sized missions that are capped at $1 billion in development and launch costs each. (The Curiosity rover, by contrast, cost about $2.5 billion.) A fourth mission is expected to begin selection in November 2017, with a launch for 2024.
Does Jupiter have a central core, which will help narrow down how the planet was formed?
How much water is in its atmosphere, which helps researchers understand how big planets were created?
How it is possible that giant weather systems remain so stable?
What is the nature of the magnetic field and plasma surrounding Jupiter?
Juno was selected in 2005 and was originally expected to launch in June 2009, but was delayed until August 2011 due to NASA budgetary restrictions.
"The schedule change posed challenges for the Juno team," wrote Rick Grammier, the project manager for Juno, in a 2008 blog post. "Inflation would add cost, as would the personnel and management expenses of a longer project, even with the team size frozen at a low level during the early years."
"Another challenge, he added, "was figuring out how to maintain our heritage designs and retain skilled personnel, making the best use of their expertise during the suddenly extended early stages of the project."
The team decided to take advantage of the "unusually long Phase B" (a planning phase) to find and reduce the risks to the spacecraft's development. With three years to work with instead of the usual one, they hoped to avoid design changes late in the game, communication gaps and other matters.
Juno launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Aug. 5, 2011. While eight other spacecraft have flown in Jupiter's neighborhood in decades past, part of what makes Juno stand apart is its ability to generate solar power from Jupiter's neighborhood. The other spacecraft relied on nuclear power, but the reserves for plutonium generation have dwindled for NASA in recent decades.
"Solar power is possible on Juno due to improved solar-cell performance, energy-efficient instruments and spacecraft, a mission design that can avoid Jupiter's shadow, and a polar orbit that minimizes the total radiation," wrote NASA in 2016, when Juno broke a solar distance record for all spacecraft. (The previous record-holder was the Rosetta mission, which arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko – beyond the orbit of Mars – in 2014.)
Before setting out for Jupiter for good, Juno earned a speed boost of more than 8,800 mph (3.9 kilometers per second) when it flew by Earth on Oct. 9, 2013. The spacecraft took images of our planet (it reminded principal investigator Scott Bolton of Star Trek imagery) and also listened in on amateur radio signals as part of an outreach effort with ham radio operators.
In February 2016, the Juno spacecraft did a maneuver to put in on course for the gas giant for a July 4, 2016, arrival. Independence Day has been an auspicious date for NASA spacecraft arrival in the past. Examples include the Mars Pathfinder and Sojourner mission arrival at the Red Planet (1997) and Deep Impact's planned collision with Comet Tempel 1 (2005).
Viking 1, NASA's first lander on Mars, was also supposed to touch down on July 4, 1976, but when the spacecraft got closer, pictures revealed the landing site was too rough for a landing. Viking 1 successfully landed at an alternate site on July 20, 1976, seven years to the day after the first human moon landing.
Several spacecraft have flown by Jupiter en route to other locations in the solar system (such as Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and New Horizons). Even during the brief flybys, they have been able to glimpse interesting information about Jupiter and its moons. For example, New Horizons caught a large outburst on the volcanic moon Io.
To date, however, only one mission stayed for the long term: Galileo. After being launched from space shuttle Atlantis in October 1989, Galileo arrived at Jupiter in 1995 and spent eight years studying the planet and its moons.
Galileo's discoveries include finding potential salt-water oceans under the crusts of Europa, Callisto and Ganymede. It also sent a descent probe into Jupiter's atmosphere. Much of the mission's value also came from spending nearly a decade in Jupiter's system, allowing scientists the rare chance to do up-close, lengthy observations of the largest planet in the solar system.
Juno aims to go further. It will focus solely on Jupiter and try to answer at least some of the following questions, according to NASA:
How much water does Jupiter have in its atmosphere? This is important to figure out if our formation theories of the solar system are correct, or if they need some work.
What is Jupiter's atmosphere like? Specifically, what are the properties at every layer such as gas composition, temperature and cloud motions? Figuring out the weather on Jupiter will help us learn more about gas giant weather generally. (It's important for planets in our solar system, as well as exoplanets.)
What are the magnetic and gravity fields of Jupiter? This will give scientists some hints of what the interior structure of Jupiter looks like.
How does the magnetic environment of Jupiter affect its atmosphere? Part of that study will come through looking at auroras.
White House evades UFO question as Barack Obama 'moves close to X-Files revelation'
White House evades UFO question as Barack Obama 'moves close to X-Files revelation'
BYJON DILLON
The heat is on an official spokesperson in this video as UFO revelations are reported to be on the President's agenda before he leaves offices
This is the moment a White House spokesperson dodges a question about the Roswell incident - only to be warned: "You're not going to get off easy like that."
White House press correspondent April Ryan quizzed press secretary Josh Earnest about the famous incident during a media briefing.
It is the second time the spokesman has come under fire from reporters about UFOsin a week.
Another correspondent had earlier asked Earnest about Area 51 and whether Barack Obama would "beat Hillary Clinton to the punch" by revealing America's secrets about extra-terrestrials.
The questions follow weeks of publicity of the Democratic presidential candidate's pledge to release Government-held UFO files, if she wins the election in November.
WH.GOV
Press secretary Josh Earnest laughed off the question concerning Roswell
Earlier this month, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell also asked Hillary Clinton's spokesmanBrian Fallon about her being declared the "first ET candidate."
Ryan, who is also Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks, asked Earnest: "There’s this increased interest in Roswell. You’re doing your dance at the podium about it. Is there a such a thing?
"Are you keeping quiet because of security concerns? Are we to think that there might be life beyond here? You need to answer this."
WH.GOV
Correspondent April Ryan posed the alien question to the White House spokesperson
Earnest, appearing nervous and drinking water after being put on the spot, replied: "I’ll just say, April, there are some questions that even the White House Press Secretary doesn’t have answers to, and this is one of them."
Unhappy with his response, she hits back: "You’re not going to get off easy like that."
The Roswell incident happened in July 1947 when a 'flying saucer' allegedly crashed in the New Mexico desert.
Witnesses claim the military recovered the wreckage and alien bodies but the US Airforce said it was a weather balloon with crash test dummies on board.

UFOs are part of the conversation for presidents and presidential candidates
Stephen Bassett, America's only lobbyist on the ET/UFO issue, believes President Obama is on the brink of telling the world the truth.
He told Mirror online: "When Andrea Mitchell and April Ryan pressed the White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest for comments on the breaking story about the Clinton/ET/Disclosure/Rockefeller Initiative connection, a milestone was reached.
This campaign issue is now publicly seen as inside the White House. Almost certainly more questions will be raised in the West Wing in the coming weeks."
"The last time this happened was in 1997 when Bill Clinton's aide Webb Hubbell put out his book 'Friends in High Places' and then you have to go back to 1954 with President Eisenhower.
"The blood is in the water and the reporters have started to circle. These questions go to confirm that the president is the Wizard of Oz behind the cover-up."
Turkish media is reporting that two Turkish Airlines pilots claimed to have seen a UFO with green lights pass over their plane while flying near the area where EgyptAir MS804 mysteriously crashed. The incident occurred on the same day as the tragic crash, with some reports putting the timing of their sighting at just an hour before the EgyptAir plane had its problems. Coincidence, connection or conspiracy?
An unidentified object with green lights passed 2 to 3,000 feet above us. Then it disappeared all of a sudden. We are guessing that it was a UFO.
According to the Turkish news site hurriyetdailynews.com, the pilots stated they were flying at an altitude of about 17,000 feet on a flight that originated in the western Turkish town of Bodrum destined for Istanbul. The UFO incident occurred while they were over the Silivri district of the Istanbul Province outside of metropolitan Istanbul. The plane landed at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport 30 minutes later without any other incidents.
What pilots see when laser lights are pointed at a plane
What did the Turkish Airlines pilots see that prompted them to report it to the air traffic control center? The General Directorate of State Airports Authority said that nothing was seen on radar. There was some speculation that the sighting was caused by laser pointers from someone on the ground, but pilots are well-trained to spot these and neither pilot said the UFO resembled laser lights. It’s doubtful that trained pilots would mistake reflections in their windows as UFOs either. In fact, they described the green lights as passing over the plane, something that implies a physical object rather than lights.
An illustration of what experts speculate happened prior to the EgyptAir crash
Could this UFO sighting be related to the EgyptAir crash in some way? According to air traffic control reports, the incident occurred at 11:30 pm on May 19th. The EgyptAir flight disappeared from radar at 2:30 am, also on May 19th. That puts the UFO sighting at 20+ hours AFTER the crash, rather than 30 minutes BEFORE it as some news reports stated. Could the UFO have been an alien craft (remember, it didn’t show up on radar) inspecting the crash site or aiding in the search?
Also, the UFO sighting was about 350 miles from where it’s believed the EgyptAir plane went down, and the sighting was over land. Could the UFO have been leading searchers to the source of what caused the crash, rather than the actual crash site? A missile launch? A person who triggered an explosion on the plane? Some secret weapon?
Too far-fetched? Too conspiratorial? Remember, it’s been over two years since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared and we still have no definitive answers.
Let’s hope the black boxes are found and they can identity the cause of the tragic accident. However, if a UFO was involved, will we be told?

NASA Openly Admits Alien Life Exists: Get Ready for Disclosure!
NASA Openly Admits Alien Life Exists: Get Ready for Disclosure!
Most people ‘in the know’ realize that NASA is just part of the military industrial complex, but a recent open admission on mainstream news that “there are indications of alien life” is likely the beginning of a bid to get your undivided attention before full-forced disclosure ensues.
Most people already believe what NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan states:
“I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade . . .I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20-30 years.”
It isn’t going to take that long if we open our eyes.
Stofan goes on to say:
“We’re on the verge of things that people have wondered about for millennia. Within all of our lifetimes we’re going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system. We’re going to understand the implications of that for life here on Earth.”
What we’re going to understand is that our ‘secret’ government has been hiding this fact for ages. In an effort to transition the US and other countries through its reach to a cabal-run oligarchy, our shadow government has been lying about off-planet corporate slavery rings, alien abductions, benevolent beings who can only do so much until our collective consciousness elevates, and much, much more.
William Cooper, among others, tried to disclose the true purpose of NASA, but he was exterminated. His death, among thousands of others, will not be in vain.
We will learn that aside from extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet and many different ET races tinkering with our DNA over millenia, there are ancient humanoid races that are more than 10 million years old.
We will learn that a recent computer hacking retrieved millions of government and corporate personnel records, some say as part of documentation for Nuremburg-like trials, will begin soon against those who have mind-controlled, enslaved and tortured us. Undeniable photos of UFOs were also unearthed.
We will also learn that chemtrails and GMOs were the LEAST of plans made for us ‘sheeple’ and ‘useless eaters’ by a Luciferian cabal, and that President Harry Truman signed a document with certain ETs that allowed the ‘elite’ to conduct highly technological experiments with intelligence gained from these ETs in exchange for looking the other way when certain humans were abducted for ET experiments.
We will learn that we are not helpless, as we have been programmed to believe. We are, in fact, a rare humanoid race that has an incredible range of emotion and creative power. We will learn that our minds and emotions can either fuel chaos on this planet, or restore it to its rightful place of peace and cooperation, of care for others at least as much as ourselves.
We will learn that our ascension into infinitely peaceful beings is indeed possible, and it has been described in countless books, many of which have been suppressed along with UFO information.
NASA is telling us now that the likelihood of alien life is a ruse. Be sure to remember those who have been executed to try to prove this information to us decades ago, and to use discernment when the truth is finally revealed.

China Releases Moon Footage of Alien Bases
China Releases Moon Footage of Alien Bases
Dr. Micheal Salla has indicated that there is a Military Industrial Extraterrestrial Complex or MIEC, and that Earth is being assimilated by an alien agenda which also operates on Earth’s Moon.
The photo below is similar to many that I myself have seen. It appears that the Chinese who took the photo, have confirmed that aliens exist. The Chinese have probably been in contact with these aliens already.
That would explain why so many radio telescopes are searching for signals from aliens, and more being built as we speak, yet no reported signals from aliens were reported to the public.
The report stipulates:
“I was sent some pictures by a source who claims China will be releasing Hi Res images taken by the Chang’e-2 moon orbiter, which clearly show buildings and structures on the moons surface. He also claims NASA has deliberately bombed important areas of the Moon in an effort to destroy ancient artefacts and facility’s.
“Pictures yet to be released clearly show nuclear impact craters and building debris caused by explosions in an effort by NASA to destroy the truth. China is moving toward full disclosure of the Extraterrestrial reality, if these images and future ones are verified genuine then NASA should be investigated for fraud and treason. China will be releasing all the data and images from the Chang’e-2 in the coming weeks and months, lets hope this is the beginning of a new era.”
Have you ever wondered why we haven’t returned to the moon again? The truth is that NASA is hiding a very dark secret from us.
Is there an “Alien Base” on the Moon? More and more people are coming forward with stories that might prove this is true. Rumors say that there is an Alien Moon Base on the far side of the moon, the side we never see from Earth.
Did you ever wonder why the Moon landings stopped and why we have not tried to build a Moon Base? It does seem like a better and easier idea than a floating space station with no access to any raw materials or supplies?
According to the NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong the aliens have a base on the Moon and told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon!
Sound far fetched? Milton Cooper, a Naval Intelligence Officer tells us that not only does the Alien Moon Base exist but the U.S. Naval Intelligence Community refers to the Alien Moon Base as “Luna,” that there is a huge mining operation going on there, and that is where the aliens keep their huge mother ships while the trips to Earth are made in smaller “flying saucers”.
LUNA: The Alien base on the far side of the Moon. It was seen and filmed by the Apollo astronauts. A base, a mining operation using very large machines, and the very large alien craft described in sighting reports as mother ships exist there. – Milton Cooper

VIDEO: Mysterieus object vastgelegd bij internationaal ruimtestation ISS
VIDEO: Mysterieus object vastgelegd bij internationaal ruimtestation ISS
In een video die door het internationale ruimtestation (ISS) is gemaakt, is een ‘mysterieus object’ te zien in een lage baan om de aarde. Volgens de website UFO Sightings Daily gaat het om één van de beste voorbeelden van een UFO bij het ruimtestation van de afgelopen jaren. De site stelt dat het metalen oppervlak het object doet glimmen.
De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA ontkent dat het lichtpuntje buitenaards is. De NASA stelt dat het mysterieuze object niets meer is dan een reflectie op een raam van het ISS.
De verklaring die de NASA geeft zou verklaren waarom de vermeende UFO tijdens de opname op dezelfde plek blijft. Scott Waring van UFO Sightings Daily en vele andere UFO-jagers zijn echter niet overtuigd: “Het is grappig dat de NASA de duizenden filmpjes op YouTube van UFO’s bij het ruimtestation negeert. Als je met je hoofd in de wolken zit, maak je je kennelijk niet meer druk om de mening van het volk. Misschien wordt het tijd dat het volk de NASA overneemt.”
“De waarheid ligt binnen handbereik,” schrijft hij op zijn website. Waring meent dat de NASA dit soort zaken bewust verdoezelt.
Het Russische persbureau Sputnik reageert: “NASA is natuurlijk een onderdeel van de Amerikaanse overheid en wordt dus eigenlijk al gerund door het volk. Of niet?”
An Illinois witness at Spring Grove reported watching a “large, illuminated” triangle UFO at close proximity about 9:30 p.m. on May 22, 2016, according to testimony in Case 76537 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

“Turning around at the nearest road and driving back to location took less than one minute. In that time, the object traveled northwest a good distance, and was seen moving slowly and slightly angled (banking?). Object became obscured behind trees on the side of the road and visual was lost. Entire encounter took less than two minutes.”

Fleet of UFO Over Eastern Europe On May 24, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 24, 2016 Location of sighting: Minsk, Belarus, Eastern Europe There is not much information about this sitting in a small country called Belarus, but we can see that there are many glowing UFOs in the sky over the hill. The most common UFO seen are glowing large orbs. These light up and other disappear almost ins sync. I wish we had more footage and more info about this one. It is awesome that the person stopped their car and got out to record this. It is not recorded through glass, but just a normal view from the side of the road. Scott C.

Apple CEO Says Time Travelers Exist After Seeing 1670 Painting With iphone. May 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Apple CEO Says Time Travelers Exist After Seeing 1670 Painting With iphone. May 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: May 25, 2016
Location of discovery: Painting by Pieter De Hooch, 1670
Apple CEO today said that he always thought he knew when and who invented the iPhone, but now he's not so sure. He said he recently saw an iphone in an ancient painting made in 1670 by Pieter De Hooch. In the painting a person is holding an iphone and it looks like that person is either reading a text or taking a photo of the sitting woman.
If Tim Cook, the head of Apple believes that time travel is possible and that this technology could have been given to Steve Jobs, then maybe its true. Maybe they are not aliens traveling through time, but us, humanity, coming back to make things right. The funny thing is we will never know, because if they fixed the time line, everyone and everything would change, including our memories.
Norway: UFO Summoner Demonstrates His Abilities In Front Of Many People
Norway: UFO Summoner Demonstrates His Abilities In Front Of Many People
Robbert van den Broeke claimed that he had summoned UFOs in front of many people many times and had close up sightings as well. He said that some entities can hear human thoughts from miles away. The technique requires considerable human focus for it to happen.
UFO enthusiasts say that this is true to some entities, and not all humans who tried it succeeded on the first try. According to them, anyone can summon a UFO as the thing is not a gift, but a passion and effort of a focused thought.
Robbert is a medium of what he called the Divine. Recently, he demonstrated how he summoned UFOs. In a recent YouTube video, witnesses testify to their experiences with Robbert’s abilities. The video also shows a phenomenon called bilocation, an alleged ability where an individual appears in two different places at the same time.
While many people think that Robbert is a proven fraudster, others say that being labeled a fraudster or hoaxer does not mean it’s always true. Believers of Robbert’s talents argue that the label hoax is a hoax itself. However, skeptics are wondering why there’s no crystal clear videos or pictures of UFOs if this man can summon them.

Mystery Solved? Supermassive Black Holes Likely Born Big
Mystery Solved? Supermassive Black Holes Likely Born Big

Supermassive black holes were probably born big, a new study reports.
These behemoths — which lie at the hearts of most if not all galaxies, and can contain billions of times more mass than the sun — probably form after the collapse of gigantic gas clouds, rather than the death of individual stars, as some astronomers had thought, the study suggests.
"There is a lot of controversy over which path these black holes take," study co-author Andrea Ferrara, of Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, said in a statement. "Our work suggests we are converging on one answer, where black holes start big and grow at the normal rate, rather than starting small and growing at a very fast rate." [Images: Black Holes of the Universe]
The researchers, led by Fabio Pacucci (also of Scuola Normale Superiore), identified two probable supermassive black hole "seeds" after studying observations made by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Spitzer Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope (which NASA operates jointly with the European Space Agency).
"Black hole seeds are extremely hard to find, and confirming their detection is very difficult," co-author Andrea Grazian, from the National Institute for Astrophysics in Italy, said in the same statement. "However, we think our research has uncovered the two best candidates so far."
Black Hole
Black holes are so bizarre, they sound unreal. Yet astronomers have found good evidence they exist. Test your knowledge of these wacky wonders.
Both of the seed candidates contain about 100,000 solar masses, and formed less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang (which created the universe about 13.8 billion years ago). The seeds' size and age imply that, at least in the early universe, supermassive black holes started out large, with the collapse of giant gas clouds, the researchers said.
Smaller black holes do exist, of course; the gravitational collapse of huge, dead stars gives rise to stellar-mass black holes, which contain 10 to 100 times the mass of the sun. And these objects can get bigger, by merging with other black holes and sucking up nearby gas. But such small seeds likely do not grow into the monsters at the hearts of galaxies, the new study suggests.
The researchers stressed that their conclusions are preliminary. For example, more observations are needed to confirm that the two candidates are indeed supermassive black hole seeds, as suspected. And drawing firm conclusions about such seeds' origins will require finding and studying more than two of the objects, team members said.
The new study has been accepted for publication in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
A new study may have found a link between dark energy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics—suggesting that the very expansion of the universe may impart a direction to time.
ABOUT TIME
It’s one of those things that we take for granted—time moves forward and never backward. But did you ever stop to wonder why it moves in one direction, as opposed to the other?
The question continues to stump physicists. After all, there are certain physical processes that are actually time-reversible—they look the same no matter which way you run them.
For example, gravity operates the same way regardless of Time’s Arrow; a planet will orbit a star in exactly the same way, just with the direction of that orbit reversed. But there is one aspect of the universe that is dependent on the direction of Time’s Arrow: the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that the disorder of a closed system (such as our universe) must increase, never decrease.
It’s commonly called “entropy,” and it’s why broken eggs don’t suddenly reassemble themselves, or why dead things don’t suddenly come back to life. Disorganization and chaos are downhill, order and complexity are uphill; complex systems like stars and planets and human beings may emerge locally, but they require an inordinate amount of energy to create, which only increases the overall entropy of the system.
This is why the Second Law of Thermodynamics is universally reckoned as the mechanism that imparts directionality to time—although, understanding the how of a thing is not the same as understanding the why of it.
A DARK CONNECTION
In the quest to understand the origins of Time’s Arrow, two Armenian physicists, A. E. Allahverdyan and V. G. Gurzadyan, decided to search for a link between so-called “dark energy” and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Dark energy is a mysterious quantity that is proposed as an explanation for why the universe is continuing to expand, rather than decelerating and collapsing, as our current understanding of gravity dictates it should.
The scientists ran a simulation to test how the orbit of a planet would change, depending upon whether dark energy was absent, or present as in our own universe. What they found was intriguing, to say the least: if dark energy is absent, or if gravity pulls space together, a planet simply orbits its star in the accepted fashion, regardless of whether time runs “forward” or “backward.” But introduce dark energy to push space apart, and eventually, over immense time scales, the planet is flung away from the star altogether.
Which means there is a temporal directionality when dark energy is introduced—in one direction, we see a planet escaping a star’s gravity; in the other, a planet is captured by a star and becomes a part of its retinue.
There’s nothing absolutely conclusive about the study, which was published in Physical Review E; the authors aren’t saying dark energy is responsible for Time’s Arrow. But there’s something decidedly suggestive about it all—that the Second Law of Thermodynamics and dark energy might be two facets of the same phenomenon, some mysterious quantity of our universe that imparts or requires an arrow of time.
So next time you’re late—just blame it on dark energy.
Why Is Hillary Clinton Making Strange Comments About Aliens?
Why Is Hillary Clinton Making Strange Comments About Aliens?
Extraterrestrial disclosure lobbyist and activist Stephen Bassett has a theory: She knows more than the rest of us. In an interview with Pacific Standard, he explains the importance of Clinton’s remarks for his political movement, what might happen next, and whether or not we are in imminent danger.

Earlier this week, the New York Times’Amy Chozickreported on Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s belief that alien life may be out there: not just in the over-educated, there’s-definitely-some-lame-bacteria-or-small-space-rodent-in-a-distant-galaxy kind of way, but in a hey-maybe-those-Roswell-guys-were-onto-something kind of way. Clinton’s not closed to the notion that we’ve been visited by intelligent, spacecraft-piloting beings. As Chozick wrote:
In a radio interview last month, she said, “I want to open the files as much as we can.” Asked if she believed in U.F.O.s, Mrs. Clinton said: “I don’t know. I want to see what the information shows.” But she added, “There’s enough stories out there that I don’t think everybody is just sitting in their kitchen making them up.”
When asked about extraterrestrials in an interview with The Conway Daily Sunin New Hampshire last year, Mrs. Clinton promised to “get to the bottom of it.”
“I think we may have been” visited already, she said in the interview. “We don’t know for sure.”
Stephen Bassett, a longtime political activist and Congressional lobbyist for the disclosure of an extraterrestrial presence by the federal government, received short mention in the Times piece. Curious to learn more about his reaction to Clinton’s remarks and his appraisal of her as a candidate from the perspective of someone lobbying for a decidedly non-mainstream issue, I gave him a call.
Less than two hours after leaving him a voicemail, I received a callback and four emails in quick succession, laying out the relevant background. There were links to press coverage of his organization, the Paradigm Research Group, governmentdocuments, and a list of 16 detailed questions that he hoped the media would pose to Clinton.
This is the biggest news story in history. And I don’t mean Clinton; I mean the presence of extraterrestrials.
Bassett’s passion is apparent. At the beginning of our conversation, I made the mistake of asking how he first entered the “UFO lobbying game.” He objected to my nomenclature. “First of all, it’s not about UFOs, hasn’t been for some time,” he said. “I have no interest in UFOs. It’s about extraterrestrials and extraterrestrial craft. Lotta syllables, harder to spell, but I’m afraid that’s what it is.”
Bassett has been registered as a lobbyist since 1996, “pursuing the political resolution of the extraterrestrial issue.” What follows is a wide-ranging conversation about the politics of potential government disclosure of supposed top-secret documents on extraterrestrials, an issue which has only recently received attention outside a close-knit circle of conspiracy theorists.Pacific Standard cannot vouch for the veracity of any of the theories below.
Given the recent coverage in the Times, which is certainly a mainstream, very well-respected paper, were you happy with that story?
[Laughs] Happy. Uh. The Times finally got into the political aspect of this issue, 17 months after the competition was out there. It’s 17 months behind the curve. More importantly, the New York Times has the worst record on this issue of any paper in the United States, of any size. Probably the worst record of any major paper would be the Times of London.
So yeah, after 20 years of pounding this, and after 17 months of generating unprecedented political coverage, it was nice that the New York Times entered the field. They contacted me. I spent an hour with Amy Chozick at the Timesoffices. Gave her a tremendous amount of material and contact. I’m the principal source on the article. Now, that’s not reflected in the article, because the Times is not … the article is not about me. That’s fine; she did a good piece. And she has a lot more information than that.
You know a little bit of hockey, right? So in the last two days, we have seen the hat trick. In a space of two days, we have had an article in the New York Times, the Times of London, and the Washington Times. Which just kind of reflects that things are moving along pretty rapidly.
I hope that this is only just the beginning. This is the biggest news story in history. And I don’t mean Clinton; I mean the presence of extraterrestrials. And it’s high time that the paper of record finally got on board.
And what would you say the primary failing of the coverage of these issues is, by the Times and by other respected media outlets?
Primary failure is to do appropriate journalism. Look, the truth embargo in this issue, which used to be called the UFO cover-up, began to be put together right after Roswell, in ’47.
In order for the truth embargo to work, the U.S. government had to get the cooperation of the major newspapers and the networks. There were only three [networks] back then, and they were pretty much at the government’s command. They were part of the truth embargo. They serviced it. They knew there were limits, there were places they couldn’t go, there were lines they couldn’t cross. And as the years unfolded, they stayed with it.
But when the Cold War ended in ’92, and then, the Internet era starts to really accelerate in ’95, the ability for those entities … to sort of contain the issue by not doing appropriate journalism has been eroding rapidly. And so the issue is overwhelming them; it’s like they’ve been running from a tsunami that’s finally caught up with them.
Do we have proof of that? No. Is there any paper trail? Not likely. But I guarantee you, the Graham family [of the Washington Post], the publishers of the New York Times, worked out arrangements with the government to what their limits are on their coverage of this issue.
Do you think the remarks that Clinton has made in recent months go far enough? Is she the best candidate in terms of dealing with these types of issues or lifting the “embargo”?
Paradigm Research Group’s political initiative is not about electing any particular person. The reason that Secretary Clinton is the focus of this is because of her historical connection to the issue via the Rockefeller Initiative, ’93 to ’96. Which she has refused to talk about, and no one in the Clinton team has talked about it or mentioned it since.
However, that’s changing because, starting in January of 2015, reporters that had been brought into this are now getting pretty intense into it, had been contacting her campaign and contacting John Podesta with questions. And they’re not answering them. Not a “no comment,” but no response.
What is happening now is a very complex strategy being orchestrated by John Podesta. They are very aware that she is almost certainly going to have to confront this issue in full before she gets to the White House. She cannot make it to the White House without first discussing the Rockefeller Initiative with the American people. So the strategy, I believe, that Podesta, who is a brilliant man, is pursuing is that he and she are making statements, on cable news and on late-night talk shows, in tweets to the public and so forth, which are laying a track record of comments, which will insulate them against potential backlash when this thing blows out.
But I can assure you that John Podesta would not be giving the interviews he’s given, he would not be putting out those tweets, and Secretary Clinton would certainly not have said what she said to the Conway Daily Sun, on Jimmy Kimmel, or on Power 105 FM in New York, if these individuals did not think that this phenomena was absolutely true. If they knew quite well that there was nothing to this—it was just a 60-year misunderstanding between the human race and the cosmos—then they would be saying none of this. The very fact they’re speaking at all should be a red flag to every single journalist.
If you think that these things are political positioning, are you still hopeful that the Clinton presidency would bring some kind of opening of the documents? Or do you think it’s going to die out after?
I have no intention, and the movement has no intention, of rolling the dice on what Secretary Clinton will or will not do when she becomes president. She is the catalyst here. Obama is going to be the disclosure president. Because when the media storm finally launches, and the Pentagon is staring down the prospect of 500 reporters with their hair on fire, standing in front of the Pentagon spokesman or [White House Press Secretary] Josh Earnest, at that point, the Pentagon is going to have to give up its regal authority over this issue. And it’s going to have to stoop to working out an arrangement with the president and the White House as to the protocols and particulars about a disclosure event and the immediate aftermath. The Pentagon and the White House will cut that deal, and he will be the disclosure president.
If, by some miracle, the situation remains in stasis all the way through the election, and Secretary Clinton wins the election, the Paradigm Research Group and this movement is going to literally rain pressure down upon her. And we will marshal millions of people around the world; she’s going to see more emails to her campaign than she ever dreamed. And if, by some miracle, she actually gets to the White House and it still hasn’t blown sky high, then we have a lot to use to hold her feet to the fire. But being the president, you can basically tell everybody to just go pound sand. So I don’t want to get to that point.
If Obama does announce the E.T. presence, she has a fair chance to be the first full-term post-disclosure president. And the fact is, the first full-term post-disclosure president is going to have enormous influence on the policies and developments in the post-disclosure world, which will be one of the most extraordinary times you or I or anybody else could ever imagine living through.
And what do you think, exactly, is going to be disclosed? Or, you don’t know?
No, disclosure is easy. Disclosure is specifically stated by the advocacy movement as the formal acknowledgement of the extraterrestrial presence by heads of state. The moment the words come out of Barack Obama’s mouth—we have an extraterrestrial presence engaging us—that is disclosure.
Now, anything else we learn after that will be a negotiation between the White House and the Pentagon and the American people, with the media almost exclusively on the side of the American people. And that negotiation will be a dramatic tug of war. And over the weeks and months that follow disclosure, information will emerge. Exactly what, and how much, and when remains to be seen.
In terms of the initial disclosure, you’re saying that either Obama or Clinton will acknowledge that someone in the U.S. has had contact with extraterrestrial life?
No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That’s not disclosure. Disclosure is the announcement of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race,however it is engaging. It’s not about the specifics. That this phenomena that we have been seeing all around the world for seven decades is extraterrestrial in origin. That is it.
Secretary Clinton can’t make that announcement; she’s not the president. All she can do is answer truthfully her full involvement in the Rockefeller Initiative and give explanations for the comments going back to 2002 of her campaign chairman, her husband, and so forth.
When you say extraterrestrial presence, what would you define that as?
Non-human, intelligent beings, almost certainly from other planetary systems, of which we now know there are billions, with interstellar travel, maneuvering around in our airspace in advanced, anti-gravitic craft, and very possibly operating on the ground in various ways. That’s the extraterrestrial presence, at minimum.
So, it doesn’t necessarily mean ground presence?
Well, we know they’re on the ground. They’re seen on the ground, they’re seen landing. So yeah, they’re on the ground. Do they have bases here? Not confirmed. But I assure you, they’re not just flying around watching us, no. There’s a lot more to it than that.
Are they living amongst us? This is a question that’s often asked. I don’t know.
Do you believe Clinton or any other government personnel have had contact, or do you believe that they just have access to documents?
Well, first of all, no, they don’t have access to documents. The Pentagon does not consider the president on a need-to-know basis. They have the same access to the evidence in the public domain, which is massive. They don’t have any access to inside government stuff held within the military intelligence community.
As far as contact, I have no way of knowing if any members of the Clinton political team or members of Congress or members of the Pentagon are contactees. No way to know. But, given the numbers that we think are out there, it’s likely there are some. But that’s not that important right now. What’s important is the E.T. presence being announced, and then we’ll go from there.
I’m not going to claim to be studied up on this, the exact details of the contact, but if you had to explain to someone what it has consisted of, other than that there’s been events or strange occurrences that have been observed by people all over the world, is there any particular—?
Look, the contact phenomena is a very complicated and advanced aspect of this, which really cannot be addressed until post-disclosure. And it won’t be easy, and it won’t be comfortable.
The only thing I will say about it now [is] over the last 30 years, nearly one million written accounts, maybe even more than one million written accounts from individuals describing contact of one type or another, have been sent to researchers around the world and rest in their files right now. Most of these have been reviewed by one or more researchers. There is a consistency to these reports that is extremely persuasive. And that’s really all I can say at this point.
You must get this question all the time, but what do you say to the people who just say you’re a conspiracy theorist or a guy who allows his hope to seep into his perception?
First of all, almost no one says that to me. You get the occasional remarks in comment sections by trolls on the Internet, but no. I meet with people on the Hill; no one says this to me. Because people who are in the know, people who are well-informed know full well that this is true. But to anybody who wants to challenge it or wants to make a comment like that, my answer is always pretty much the same: “You know, you’ll figure it out when you figure it out.”
It’s not about convincing, it’s about getting government policy changed. And there are plenty of people who simply don’t know what’s going on, they’re not informed. I don’t take offense. It’s not a problem, and it’s not going to affect the disclosure movement much at all.
Knowing what you do, and having done the research that you’ve done, you don’t think we’re in danger, do you? You don’t think this is a national security or global security issue?
By definition, the presence of extraterrestrials is a national security matter and has been from day one. I understand that, that’s why I call it a truth embargo and not a cover-up. It was perfectly legal for national security reasons.
Second, based on what I know of the totality of the evidence, I am relatively confident that after disclosure’s taken place, and even after open contact, which I believe will probably follow within a relatively short time, the world’s people will be pleased with what they have learned and where this is going. That is my view. If I had hard evidence we were in for an extremely rough time, I would say so. I don’t see it. Doesn’t mean that’s not the case.
But now, I want to add number three. And this is a meme that’s been out in the Net for some time, fortunately: We have to be extremely wary that some element of the government—doesn’t have to be the entire government—or intelligence branches may foolishly decide that selling an alien threat as part of the disclosure process will serve their interests. Because, you know, every nation in the world has got its certain share of war mongers running the show. And, trying to sell, falsely, an alien threat would be a colossal blunder on the part of government, which is not unfamiliar with colossal blunders.
On the other hand, if there is an awful threat by extraterrestrials, and they come forward with clear evidence in a forthright way, then we will listen and act accordingly.
And knowing the sort of vitriolic rhetoric of Donald Trump, are you worried about what he might say about all this?
Over the last 26 years, we have seen one of the worst and most vicious eras of political partisanship in American history. And where the two parties are attacking everything, everything, and candidates are attacking everything: your looks, your dress, your clothes, your relatives, your cat, your dog, making up lies if they have to, revealing every skeleton in every closet. It’s absolutely a bloodbath.
And yet, even though the Republicans were well aware of the Rockefeller Initiative, during the most bizarre campaign in history, in all of that time, not a single Republican candidate or the RNC has ever attacked any member of the Clinton political team over the extraterrestrial issue. No tinfoil hats, no beanies, no nothing. And that is inconceivable. If Hillary Clinton wore a mismatched pantsuit, she would be ripped by right-wing press. The reason the Republicans have not dared to attack the Clintons on this issue is because the Republican brain trust is fully aware there’s an extraterrestrial presence.
Is it your view that Clinton is a better “E.T. candidate” than Trump?
A better question would be: Who would be the best post-disclosure president? And all I can say is that, of the three remaining candidates, the only one who has a historical record to the issue is Secretary Clinton. And the only one who has said anything about it is Secretary Clinton.
And so, one might conclude that that would make her the better choice, but maybe not. Because one could also argue that since she’s remained silent for 23 years just to service her own ambitions, she can’t be trusted and we need somebody else. But that’s not my job. My job is to get disclosure now from Obama.
Do you believe in the sci-fi aspect of the government actually having some kind of, the Area 51 theories, where there’s an alien imprisoned or something?
There is evidence that we have crash vehicles and dead bodies and have had living aliens, yes. Captured. That’s not the same thing as working with them hand-to-hand in some underground facility. Do we have underground facilities? Absolutely. Is that where I think most of this is operating? Absolutely. But, do we have arrangements with E.T.s? Not proven. Do the E.T.s have underground bases? Not proven. Likely, but not proven.
And it’s not sci-fi, this is just basic assessments from what we do know. But because of the truth embargo, we have too many theories and not enough facts, which is what the government wants. The more enmeshed you are in theories without facts, the more you just wander around in circles going nowhere. We need to drop the theory quotient and increase the fact quotient by many, many magnitudes.
If you had to lean one way or the other, it would be toward a non-adversarial relationship developing between humans and extraterrestrials?
I can’t predict every aspect or component of the relationship that this planet may have with multiple species.
I would bet that our relationship with the extraterrestrials post-disclosure or post-contact will be quite a bit more comfortable than our relationships with each other. In other words, we’ve got plenty of adversarial relationships in this world, and I doubt the extraterrestrial situation will be any worse than that, if not much better.

Russia: EgyptAir Flight Crash Was Struck By Meteorite
Russia: EgyptAir Flight Crash Was Struck By Meteorite
A Russian Ministry of Defense report claims that EgyptAir Flight 804 crashed over the Mediterranean Sea due to the aircraft being struck by debris from a large meteorite.
The Kremlin say that a 10,000 metric tonne meteorite entered the Earth’s atmosphere on May 17, and Russia were the first country to issue a warning about the potential danger it posed to aircraft.
According to this report, on 17 May the Okno optoelectronic space surveillance complex in Tajikistan sent an alert warning to the ADF that it had “detected/discovered” a near Earth asteroid approaching the atmosphere over North America at a speed estimated to be around 67,000 kilometers-per-hour and having an estimated mass of 8,000-10,000 metric tonnes.
Upon its being alerted to this “event/circumstance” by Okno, this report continues, the ADF “redirected/redeployed” a Kanopus satellite to observe this space object and that detected it slamming into the atmosphere above the Northeastern United States—and which was captured on video from an American police car in New York and described as a spectacular fireball.
After this meteorite [actually called a bolide in this report using the astronomy definition of this word] struck the atmosphere over North America, this report notes, it broke up into “many/numerous” pieces with some being ejected into a higher orbital “plane/trajectory” and the largest part falling back to Earth less than 24 hours later when, on 18 May, over the South American nation of Argentina, it exploded upon entering the atmosphere causing tremors to occur too.
With tens-of-thousands (if not hundreds-of-thousands) of this meteorites fragments (estimated to be between 5-60 centimeters) still expected to fall into our Earth’s atmosphere between 18-20 May, this report says, both Okno and Kanopus satellite data determined that the “areas/regions” most likely to affected by this space debris lay between Greenland and Australia due to the original North-South orbit of this meteorite—with the center point being the Levant.
As a number (not identified in this report) of S-400 surface-to-air missile systems [the most capable and lethal long-range air defense missile system on the planet] are currently deployed in Syria, and in fearing that some larger pieces of this meteorite debris failing to burn up in the atmosphere upon reentry could possibly activate them if fallen within their radar range, this report continues, the ADF sent an alert to the commanders of these forces warning them of what could occur.
Less than 48 hours after this ADF warning was issued, however, this report notes, EgyptAir Flight 804 (while over the Mediterranean Sea on its way to Cairo from Paris) apparently flew into the range of this meteorites falling debris where it was struck by fragment causing an explosive decompression of its structure that killed all 66 passengers and crew aboard.
This report further notes that the first report of this planes crashing was received from a Greek merchant vessel that reported that their crew had witnessed a flash in the sky sometime around the moment of EgyptAir’s Flight 804 disappearance—that is eerily similar to a Spanish pilots report that he saw an “intense flash” in the area where Air France Flight 447 came down off the coast of Brazil on 1 June 2009 killing all 228 aboard, and which speculation that it too was brought down by meteorite fragment has been much discussed.
Also important to note about this report is its conclusion, where MoD experts state that the US was alerted by the ADF when the warning was issued to the S-400 commanders [Russian and US commanders talk daily] about the possibility of their encountering falling meteorite debris, but chose not use it for themselves or pass it on to any of their allies—which becomes understandable when viewed in the light of the staggering increase of meteorites hitting our Earth that no one is yet able to explain, and now makes every plane a target.
Just a few days ago, I had to deal with a certain, tedious UFO skeptic in the field of journalism who asked a question I often get asked when the matter of UFOs surface: “Why don’t credible people see UFOs?” Well, my answer to him was this: “They do see UFOs!” But, if a skeptic can’t even take the time to actually look into the subject before offering up such a stupid question, then it’s no wonder I treat such people with the contempt they deserve. As this was a phone interview, I pointed the ignorant journo in the direction of four cases that made my point. Three were well known, but one was far less so. And it’s this “far less so” case which I’m focusing on here, today. The reason: to show those of a skeptical nature that UFOs are seen by credible people.
It’s a story that takes us back to October 1953 and eastern England. It all began around 6:45 pm on the night of October 6 when John Smith (yes, that was his real name!) was traveling by motorbike along the A12 road from Wrentham to Kessingland, Suffolk. Kessingland being where Smith lived at the time. Smith became suddenly aware of an overwhelming “atmospheric vibration” which he described to me, in 1994, as a low-frequency hum. He slowed down and looked to the skies and saw, to his astonishment, four large rays of light moving inland from the direction of the coast. Smith took a keen and instant interest for one specific reason: he was a member of the Royal Observer Corps (ROC).
The ROC Association notes: “The Royal Observer Corps (ROC) being formed in 1925 gained a valuable role in being the ‘Eyes and Ears’ of the Royal Air Force. Later during the Cold War under the control of the United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organization (UKWMO) the ROC provided key monitoring, recording and appraisal of nuclear fallout if a nuclear attack had occurred in the United Kingdom.”
The odd lights, said Smith, were heading in the direction of nearby woods. As they grew closer, Smith could see they were emanating from a circular-shaped object, flying at a height of around 200 feet and with a diameter of around 50 feet. So close was the craft that Smith could make out a “dome” on top of the UFO. Smith looked on in awe, watching until the object vanished from sight.
Around twenty-five to thirty minutes later, what may have been the same UFO was seen over the English city of Norwich by one F.W. Potter. He, too, was a credible source: a member of the Norwich Astronomical Society. Potter watched the “very bright object” carefully through his telescope, telling the Eastern Evening News newspaper: “I focused upon it and found the light given from the object was not reflected sunlight, as I first believed, but an internal light being sent out from a fixed apparatus situated around a dome. The rays or beams of light could be seen distinctly from the dome and attached beneath it was a much larger and flattened dome with a protruding band running in a circumference around its edge.”
Potter continued: “This was clearly seen in the telescope by the rays of light thrown out from the apertures in the top dome. The underneath of the large flattened bottom dome was hollow and appeared to be glowing red, but there were no vapor trails or gases to be seen. It did not rotate but kept the same portion of the dome towards the telescope until it changed its angular course. Then it gave me a chance to visualize another of the apertures that previously had been hidden from view. It was then traveling to the north-east and disappearing from view.”
A colleague of Potter – also a member of the Norwich Astronomical Society – had the opportunity to see the object, too. As did half a dozen Norwich-based members of the British Astronomical Association. When the Eastern Evening News ran a story on the reports, it prompted others to come forward, including J.H. Gosling and the son of one W. Mace, who said they saw what they believed to have been the same object over Norwich at 8:15 pm and 9:45 pm, respectively.
While the matter was never resolved, it does demonstrate that credible people do see UFOs – in this case a member of the Royal Observer Corps and various members of two astronomical societies. It’s a pity, though, that certain journalists seemingly can’t be bothered to do a bit of research before they open their mouths and say something very stupid.

Meet the electric life forms that live on pure energy
Meet the electric life forms that live on pure energy
Unlike any other life on Earth, these extraordinary bacteria use energy in its purest form – they eat and breathe electrons – and they are everywhere

By Catherine Brahic
Geobacter – a current favourite
STICK an electrode in the ground, pump electrons down it, and they will come: living cells that eat electricity. We have known bacteria to survive on a variety of energy sources, but none as weird as this. Think of Frankenstein’s monster, brought to life by galvanic energy, except these “electric bacteria” are very real and are popping up all over the place.
Unlike any other living thing on Earth, electric bacteria use energy in its purest form – naked electricity in the shape of electrons harvested from rocks and metals. We already knew about two types, Shewanella and Geobacter. Now, biologists are showing that they can entice many more out of rocks and marine mud by tempting them with a bit of electrical juice. Experiments growing bacteria on battery electrodes demonstrate that these novel, mind-boggling forms of life are essentially eating and excreting electricity.
That should not come as a complete surprise, says Kenneth Nealson at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. We know that life, when you boil it right down, is a flow of electrons: “You eat sugars that have excess electrons, and you breathe in oxygen that willingly takes them.” Our cells break down the sugars, and the electrons flow through them in a complex set of chemical reactions until they are passed on to electron-hungry oxygen.
“Life’s clever. It figures out how to suck electrons out of everything we eat and keep them under control”
In the process, cells make ATP, a molecule that acts as an energy storage unit for almost all living things. Moving electrons around is a key part of making ATP. “Life’s very clever,” says Nealson. “It figures out how to suck electrons out of everything we eat and keep them under control.” In most living things, the body packages the electrons up into molecules that can safely carry them through the cells until they are dumped on to oxygen.
“That’s the way we make all our energy and it’s the same for every organism on this planet,” says Nealson. “Electrons must flow in order for energy to be gained. This is why when someone suffocates another person they are dead within minutes. You have stopped the supply of oxygen, so the electrons can no longer flow.”
Video: Electric bacteria connect to form wires
The discovery of electric bacteria shows that some very basic forms of life can do away with sugary middlemen and handle the energy in its purest form – electrons, harvested from the surface of minerals. “It is truly foreign, you know,” says Nealson. “In a sense, alien.”
Nealson’s team is one of a handful that is now growing these bacteria directly on electrodes, keeping them alive with electricity and nothing else – neither sugars nor any other kind of nutrient. The highly dangerous equivalent in humans, he says, would be for us to power up by shoving our fingers in a DC electrical socket.
To grow these bacteria, the team collects sediment from the seabed, brings it back to the lab, and inserts electrodes into it.
First they measure the natural voltage across the sediment, before applying a slightly different one. A slightly higher voltage offers an excess of electrons; a slightly lower voltage means the electrode will readily accept electrons from anything willing to pass them off. Bugs in the sediments can either “eat” electrons from the higher voltage, or “breathe” electrons on to the lower-voltage electrode, generating a current. That current is picked up by the researchers as a signal of the type of life they have captured.
“Basically, the idea is to take sediment, stick electrodes inside and then ask ‘OK, who likes this?’,” says Nealson.
Shocking breath
At the Goldschmidt geoscience conference in Sacramento, California, last month, Shiue-lin Li of Nealson’s labpresented results of experiments growing electricity breathers in sediment collected from Santa Catalina harbour in California. Yamini Jangir, also from the University of Southern California, presented separate experiments which grew electricity breathers collected from a well in Death Valley in the Mojave Desert in California.
Over at the University of Minnesota in St Paul, Daniel Bond and his colleagues have published experiments showing that they could grow a type of bacteria that harvested electrons from an iron electrode (mBio, doi.org/tqg). That research, says Jangir’s supervisor Moh El-Naggar, may be the most convincing example we have so far of electricity eaters grown on a supply of electrons with no added food.
But Nealson says there is much more to come. His PhD student Annette Rowe has identified up to eight different kinds of bacteria that consume electricity. Those results are being submitted for publication.
Nealson is particularly excited that Rowe has found so many types of electric bacteria, all very different to one another, and none of them anything like Shewanella or Geobacter. “This is huge. What it means is that there’s a whole part of the microbial world that we don’t know about.”
“This is huge. What it means is there’s a whole part of the microbial world that we don’t know about”
Discovering this hidden biosphere is precisely why Jangir and El-Naggar want to cultivate electric bacteria. “We’re using electrodes to mimic their interactions,” says El-Naggar. “Culturing the ‘unculturables’, if you will.” The researchers plan to install a battery inside a gold mine in South Dakota to see what they can find living down there.
NASA is also interested in things that live deep underground because such organisms often survive on very little energy and they may suggest modes of life in other parts of the solar system.
Electric bacteria could have practical uses here on Earth, however, such as creating biomachines that do useful things like clean up sewage or contaminated groundwater while drawing their own power from their surroundings. Nealson calls them self-powered useful devices, or SPUDs.
Practicality aside, another exciting prospect is to use electric bacteria to probe fundamental questions about life, such as what is the bare minimum of energy needed to maintain life.
For that we need the next stage of experiments, says Yuri Gorby, a microbiologist at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York: bacteria should be grown not on a single electrode but between two. These bacteria would effectively eat electrons from one electrode, use them as a source of energy, and discard them on to the other electrode.
Gorby believes bacterial cells that both eat and breathe electrons will soon be discovered. “An electric bacterium grown between two electrodes could maintain itself virtually forever,” says Gorby. “If nothing is going to eat it or destroy it then, theoretically, we should be able to maintain that organism indefinitely.”
It may also be possible to vary the voltage applied to the electrodes, putting the energetic squeeze on cells to the point at which they are just doing the absolute minimum to stay alive. In this state, the cells may not be able to reproduce or grow, but they would still be able to run repairs on cell machinery. “For them, the work that energy does would be maintaining life – maintaining viability,” says Gorby.
How much juice do you need to keep a living electric bacterium going? Answer that question, and you’ve answered one of the most fundamental existential questions there is.
Lars Peter Nielsen and his colleagues at Aarhus University in Denmark have found that tens of thousands of electric bacteria can join together to form daisy chains that carry electrons over several centimetres – a huge distance for a bacterium only 3 or 4 micrometres long. It means that bacteria living in, say, seabed mud where no oxygen penetrates, can access oxygen dissolved in the seawater simply by holding hands with their friends.
Such bacteria are showing up everywhere we look, says Nielsen. One way to find out if you’re in the presence of these electron munchers is to put clumps of dirt in a shallow dish full of water, and gently swirl it. The dirt should fall apart. If it doesn’t, it’s likely that cables made of bacteria are holding it together.
Nielsen can spot the glimmer of the cables when he pulls soil apart and holds it up to sunlight (see video).
Flexible biocables
It’s more than just a bit of fun. Early work shows that such cables conduct electricity about as well as the wires that connect your toaster to the mains. That could open up interesting research avenues involving flexible, lab-grown biocables.

In juli, van het jaar 1947 was er een raar incident in de zuidwestelijke woestijn van de Verenigde Staten. Het incident werd door de het leger van de V.S. bekend gemaakt en werd daarna ontkend, sindsdien is dit incident in overheidsgeheimhouding gebleven. Er zijn vele valse theorieën over wat er precies gebeurt is, hieronder schets ik kort wat er zou kunnen gebeurd zijn die zomer in Roswell, dit aan de hand van verschillende bronnen op Internet die ik nagegaan heb.
De gebeurtenis vond plaats tijdens de eerste week van juli 1947 wanneer de militairen een wrakstuk gevonden hadden op een boerderij ten noordwesten van Roswell. Er is nu aanzienlijke verklaring van vroegere militaire leden gekend, waaronder twee brigadier generalen, die zeggen dat het materiaal dat gevonden werd niet van aardse oorsprong was
Op 12 januari 1994 verklaarde het Congreslid Steven Schiff van Albuquerque, New Mexico, aan de pers dat hij met zijn rug tegen de muur gezet was toen hij aan het Ministerie van Defensie informatie vroeg over de gebeurtenissen betreffende het Roswell incident in 1947. Het congreslid kreeg te horen dat het een overheidsgeheim was en dat hij er zich niet mee mocht bemoeien.
De gedetailleerde informatie over de crash in Roswell en van de aanverwante gebeurtenissen is uitgebreid. Enige tijd geleden konden onderzoekers een exemplaar bemachtigen van het jaarboek van de Army Air Field uit 1947. Hierdoor kon men de getuigen lokaliseren doorheen het land. In vele nieuwsberichten uit de kranten van toen tonen aan dat er in juni en begin juli 1947 een golf van rapporten van "vliegende schijven" (UFO's) over de Verenigde Staten en Canada was. Veel van die rapporten kwamen van geloofwaardige getuigen, hierbij zitten ook piloten en goed opgeleide waarnemers.
Ergens tijdens de eerste week van juli 1947, ontdekte een lokale boer uit New Mexico, Mac Brazel, terwijl hij 's morgens zijn schapen ging controleren na een nacht van intense onweersbuien, een aanzienlijke hoeveelheid ongewoon puin. Het had een ondiepe uitgeholde put gemaakt van zo'n 300 meter lang en de brokstukken lagen verspreid over een groot gebied. Sommige brokstukken had den vreemde fysieke eigenschappen. Na het nemen van enkele brokstukken om aan zijn buren te tonen, Floyd en Loretta Procto, ging Brazel naar Roswell en contacteerde daar de sheriff, George Wilcox. De sheriff Wilcox bracht de autoriteiten bij het Army Air Field Roswell en met de hulp van zijn collega's ging omen de zaak onderzoeken. Kort na nadat men erin betrokken was, sloten de militairen het gebied af voor enkele dagen en bergden ze het wrakstuk op. Het werd aanvankelijk naar het Army Air Field Roswell genomen en werd uiteindelijk door B-29 en C-54 vliegtuigen naar Wright Field, Ohio, gevlogen.
Het Army Air Field van Roswell was de thuisbasis van het 509ste bataljon, en was de enige atoomgroep in de wereld. Op de ochtend van 8 juli 1947 gaf Kolonel William Blanchard, Bevelhebber van de 509ste Bataljon, een persmededeling waarin hij verklaarde dat men het wrak van een gecrashte schijf teruggevonden heeft. Deze persmededeling werd via de telefoonlijnen op tijd overgebracht om de krantenkoppen in meer dan dertig middagkranten uit de VS te maken op diezelfde dag.
Enkele uren later, werd een tweede persmededeling gegeven van het bureau van Generaal Roger Ramey, Bevelhebber van de Achtste Luchtmacht bij het Army Air Field van Fort Worth in Texas, zo'n 500 kilometer van de crashsite. Hierin beweerde men dat Kolonel Blachard een domme fout hadden gemaakt en een weerballon met een radarreflector als het wrak hadden gezien.
Één van die twee persmededelingen moest fout zijn. Er zijn nu stevige verklaring van talrijke geloofwaardige militairen en andere getuigen die direct in de zaak waren betrokken. Deze zeggen dat de persmededeling van Kolonel Blanchard over de "gecrashte schijf" juist is en dat de tweede persmededeling over die weerballon een snel in elkaar gestoken dekmantel was.
Zij die met William Blanchard werkten en kenden zeggen dat hij een stevige, zinnig en zakelijk individu was en niet iemand was die zichzelf belachelijk zou maken door onware dingen te vertellen over een belangrijke gebeurtenis. Met andere woorden, als Blanchard een persmededeling uitgaf over een gecrashte schijf, was er een gecrashte schijf. Kolonel William Blanchard zou later een viersterren Leider van de luchtmacht worden.
De eerste getuige die door onderzoekers werd gelokaliseerd was bereid om in zijn naam te getuigen was de teruggetrokken Luitenant-kolonel Jesse Marcel. Hij was een hoogst bekwaam persoon en was een 1 van de eerste 2 militaire ambtenaren bij de crashplaats. In een op videocassette opgenomen gesprek uit 1979, verklaarde Jesse Marcel, "... het was geen weerballon, het was noch een vliegtuig of een raket." In verband met de exotische eigenschappen van enkele materialen, verklaarde hij, "het zou niet branden. ...dat materiaal weegt niets, zo dun is het, het is niet dikker dan de folie rond een pak sigaretten. Zo probeerde ik om het materiaal te buigen. Het wou niet buigen. Wij probeerden zelfs een deuk erin te maken, en er was nog geen deuk in."
Het is onvoorstelbaar dat een mens zoals Jesse Marcel, met zijn kwalificaties en ervaring, om het even welk soort crash zo mis zou opvatten, je zou toch meteen moeten zien als het een weerballon was met zijn reflectieradar of een vliegtuigcrash was, hij zou anders ook niet gezegd hebben dat het niet van deze aarde kwam. Zelfs als hij een verkeerde identificatie had gemaakt, zou hij zeker zijn fout kunnen herzien hebben nadat het hem bekend werd wat het was. Eens hij terugkeerde naar de basis, stopte hij even bij zijn huis om enkele brokstukken aan zijn vrouw en 11-jarige zoon te tonen. Één stuk had op het oppervlak symbolen staan zoals een hiëroglief van de egyptenaren. Zijn zoon, Jesse Marcel Junior, herinnert het incident goed. Hij heeft gedetailleerde tekeningen van enkele symbolen kunnen maken. Tijdens zijn carrière, ging Jesse Marcel op in andere belangrijke taken, zoals de eerste sovjet kernbom.
De generaal Thomas DuBose was een kolonel en Generaal Ramsey was leider van het personeel bij het Achtste Hoofdkwartier van de Luchtmacht uit Texas, in 1947. Vòòr zijn dood in 1992, getuigde Generaal DuBose dat hijzelf het telefoongesprek van Clements McMullen bij het Army Air Field in Washington, D.C. had opgenomen, die de opdracht gaf voor de berging van het wrak. De instructies voor Ramey was een "dekkingsverhaal" te verzinnen om de pers op afstand te kunnen houden.
De Generaal Arthur E. Exon was gestationeerd op Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, als luitenant-kolonel in juli 1947 gedurende de tijd dat het wrak uit Roswell daar lag. In een interview uit 1990, Generaal Exon sprak over het testen, "alles van chemische analyses, spanningstests, compressietests, het buigen. Dit alles werd in het materiële evaluatielaboratoria gebracht . (Sommige stukken) zouden gemakkelijk kunnen gescheurd of verandert worden, er waren andere delen die zeer dun maar erg sterk waren en niet met zware hamers konden worden gedeukt. "Van de mensen die het testen deden" zei hij, "de algemene indruk was dat het stukken uit de ruimte waren".
De verklaring van Glenn Dennis geeft weinig twijfel over de aard van wat in 1947 gevonden werd. In 1947 was Glenn Dennis een jonge begrafenisondernemer die voor het Begrafenishuis Ballard werkt, dat een contract had om de diensten voor het mortuarium en ziekenwagen voor het Army Air Field te verlenen.
Om verder te gaan op de feiten wat er op de crashsite nog gebeurde. Glenn Dennis ontving verscheidene telefoongesprekken die namiddag van de lijkschouwer bij het vliegveld. Hij werd gevraagd voor kleine, hermetisch verzegelde kisten beschikbaar te stellen en er werd ook gevraagd hoe men organismen moet bewaren die aan elementen voor verscheiden dagen blootgesteld worden. Er was bezorgdheid over het al dan niet veranderen van de chemische samenstelling van het weefsel.
Later die avond, als resultaat van de ongewone gebeurtenissen, ging hij naar het basishospitaal. Buiten de achteringang zag hij twee militaire ziekenwagens met open achterdeuren, daaruit staken grote stukken van het wrak, waarop hij symbolen zag staan. Eens binnen, ontmoette hij een jonge verpleegster die hij kende. Op dat zelfde moment werd hij opgemerkt door militaire politie die hem fysisch bedreigde en weg van het gebouw begeleidde.
De volgende dag kwam hij de verpleegster tegen, en zij verklaarde wat er bij het ziekenhuis was gebeurd. Zij was een zeer godsdienstige persoon en stond op het punt om in shock te gaan. Zij beschreef hoe zij binnen was geroepen om twee artsen bij te staan die autopsies op verscheidene kleine niet-menselijke organismen deden. Zij beschreef de vreselijke geur, hoe één lichaam in goede staat was en de andere vervormd, en de verschillen tussen hun anatomie en menselijke anatomie was. Zij trok ook een diagram op een servet dat een overzicht van hun eigenschappen toont. Deze ontmoeting was ook de laatste, zij werd enkele dagen later overgebracht naar Engeland.
De echte of valse foto's van de gevonden lichamen?
Het belangrijkste deel van het tuig kwam blijkbaar wat verder van het "puingebied" te liggen. Dit nabij de boerderij Brazel. De onderzoekers konden enige tijd geleden deze tweede plaats bevestigen omdat weinig mensen op de hoogte waren van deze site. Volgens getuigenverklaring is dit ook de plaats waar de organismen werden gevonden. De meeste getuigen van deze plaats willen hun naam niet vrijgeven in vrees voor overheidsrepresaille.
Naast Glenn Dennis, werden andere getuigen fysisch bedreigd of werden geïntimideerd. Volgens leden van de familie van Sherrif Wilcox, werd hij verteld door een militair, in aanwezigheid van zijn vrouw, dat hij en zijn volledige familie worden gedood als hij ooit sprak over wat hij had gezien. De boer die oorspronkelijk de crashsite ontdekte, Mac Brazel, werd gedwongen door de militairen om dit geheim te houden. Hij sprak nooit meer over het incident, zelfs niet aan zijn familie. In de maanden na het incident, vond zijn zoon, Bill Brazel, enkele brokstukken die hij dan verzamelde en in een sigarendoosje stopte. Het materiaal werd uiteindelijk in beslag genomen door de militairen.
Ondanks het feit dat er zoveel publiciteit over het Roswell incident is geweest sinds 1980, zijn er geen getuigen die het verhaal bevestigen van de weerballon, een raket (zoals een V2 raket) of een experimenteel vliegtuig. Mocht er een betere verklaring zijn ven het ongewone puin dan zou dit al bekend moeten geweest zijn.
Waarom de overheid van de V.S. niets over dit incident zegt weet men niet goed, er zijn 3 mogelijke redenen opgegeven. Drie mogelijke redenen zijn voorgesteld:
- vrees voor massapaniek - nationale veiligheidsproblemen - beledigen van godsdienstige groepen
Het klassieke argument voor het inhouden van informatie door de overheid over buitenaards leven, is dat het een reactie zou kunnen veroorzaken gelijkend op de beroemde radio-uitzendingen uit 1938 van Orson Welles "Oorlog van de Werelden". (Daarin ging het over een valse nieuwsuitzending die een aanval door Martians (of marsmannetjes) op de Grover's Mill, New Jersey. Toen zouden enkele luisteraars paniekerig geworden zijn door deze uitzendingen. We zijn nu al vele jaren verwijderd van het incident en de wereld is veel veranderd zodat de bekendmaking niet zo paniekerig zal overkomen dan men denkt.
De geschiedenis heeft aangetoond dat de ontkenning door overheid vaak zonder betekenis zijn. Niettemin, is er een logische en ongecompliceerde manier om ervoor te zorgen dat de waarheid over Roswell te voorschijn zal komen: een Uitvoerende Macht die om het even welke informatie betreffende het bestaan van UFO's of buitenaards leven vrijgeeft. Omdat dit een unieke kwestie van universeel belang is, zou een dergelijke actie aangewezen en gerechtvaardigd zijn.
Uiteindelijk, of de informatie wordt onderdrukt of niet, zou het effect van een Uitvoerende Macht positief zijn. Als niets wordt ingehouden, zou het resultaat van een dergelijke Orde het verslag moeten plaatsen. De jaren van controverse en verdenking, zowel voor de eigen burgers van Verenigde Staten als voor de wereld worden beëindigd.
Hopelijk komen de feiten vroeg of laat aan het licht zodat we weten wat er echt gebeurd is. De bovenstaande gegevens kunnen fout zijn, dit kunnen we moeilijk weten omdat de Amerikaanse overheid blijft zwijgen.
I recently had the chance to sit down with Marie D. Jones, author of This Book Is From the Future and Viral Mythology to discuss the possibility of human time travel and the possible link to the ancient alien theory.
The growing popularity of the History Channel series, Ancient Aliens has led to some interesting speculations about what, or who, may have once visited our ancestors, imparting knowledge and technological advancement that lead to leaps and bounds in human development. Originally, the concept of ancient aliens, or ancient astronauts, pointed to extraterrestrial intervention occurring thousands of years ago, and possibly even a little genetic intervention as well. The ancient astronaut theory posits that our ancestors experienced these huge leaps forward in advancement of scientific, astronomical, technological and medical knowledge that could simply NOT have happened on their own. We MUST have had some help from above, from entities far more intelligent and evolved than we.
Otherwise, how could we have built those amazing Egyptian pyramids and erected those massive stone statues on Easter Island, or the meticulously intricate blocks that make up Puma Punku in Bolivia... and what of the many glyphs, cave and rock paintings, carvings, drawings and statuettes from our distant past that appear to portray “helmeted” figures that do not look quite human, or those of strange craft whizzing by in the sky? Are all these “archeo-enigmas” proof that our ancestors mingled with the star people, and left us clues in their art, architecture, myths and religious texts?
While many argue that there is no proof we humans needed a little help from above to make those huge jumps forward in our evolution, there are many who insist that the archeological evidence is clear... we were once hanging out with aliens, maybe even breeding with them, or having their DNA spliced into our own, possibly against our knowledge or will. The theory also posits that these aliens were from advanced civilizations, coming to visit lowly human Earthlings and impart what they knew of the vast cosmos and all possibilities therein. Speculation includes locations both within and outside of our known universe, where the laws of physics might allow for travel between worlds.
But... what about travel between times? If we entertain the ancient astronaut theory, and there is compelling “circumstantial evidence” to give it serious thought, must we accept that the aliens that intervened were indeed aliens at all? Might they have been... dare I say... US? Humans of the future, coming back to teach, warn and guide the humans of the past? Lest you think that a ridiculously unfounded statement, let me bring up an interesting subject.
Roswell.
In the summer of 1947, a mysterious object crashed on a ranch in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico, creating a firestorm of ongoing controversy. Original news stories claimed it a flying saucer, but were immediately suppressed in favor of a weather balloon story courtesy of the authorities... the classic cover-up. Roswell is now the stuff of legends, as well as movies, TV shows, books by the dozen and continued debate and discussion as to exactly what happened on that fateful date in history. Were alien bodies discovered at the crash site, as many claim, and whisked away to a top-secret hangar at Wright-Patterson AFB? Was the craft later back-engineered at the notorious Area 51 in Nevada? Was there an alien autopsy done on the crash victims, as claimed by a TV show years ago?
We still really don’t know what happened at Roswell, but there is an ancient alien/astronaut link that adds to the mystery. According to a renowned U.S. Navy Commander named George W. Hoover, the aliens may have been human beings from the future... us... come back to, well, interact with... us.
Allegedly, Hoover had top-secret clearance as part of his work as a Naval Intelligence Officer to view the Roswell debris and bodies during the 1950s...and he eventually told a very select group of people before his death of his beliefs. Those people included his own son, George Hoover, Jr. and later ufologist and researcher William J. Birnes, both of whom were made privy to what the elder Hoover knew before his death. Hoover stated during interviews that he believed the aliens were not extraterrestrial, but were extratemporal — as in time travelers. In addition, he believed they were not really aliens at all... but humans of the future, with incredible abilities to use the power of consciousness to morph reality and travel through the landscape of time.
Hoover’s story mirrors other stories from some ufologists and many UFO abductees that aliens may have been, and still may be, humans of the future who have found the technology to overcome the limitations of light speed and time travel paradoxes that keep present day humans from breaching the boundaries of time. Their often-humanoid appearance may suggest a link between the way we look today, and what we might look like thousands of years from now.
Ancient aliens may, in fact, be future humans. It’s a mind-bending idea, but not an entirely impossible one.
The US President is under pressure thanks to similar disclosure promises made by the campaign of Democratic candidate for Obama's replacement, Hillary Clinton.
Stephen Bassett, executive director of US-based Paradigm Research Group (PRG), believes that there could be a massive announcement to come.
And he says David Cameron will follow suit almost immediately after.
The 69-year-old has been lobbying the White House to release these details for 20 years and is excited about being "on the brink" of discovering the truth.
"This will be a reality this year and across the front pages of newspapers across the world, he told the Daily Express, adding that "ET is real".
Campaign manager John Podesta also spoke about releasing top-secret files.
The Democratic candidate spoke out on Jimmy Kimmel Live as she leads the race against Bernie Sanders for the party's nomination for November's election.
She has followed in the footsteps of her husband Bill, who appeared on the show in 2014 and was asked if he ever looked into UFOs or Area 51 - a top secret airbase rumoured to "back engineer" alien craft.
Speaking for the first time on TV about the issue, she told Kimmel: “I’m going to do it again. There’s a new name for UFOs. It’s unexplained aerial phenomena.
"That's the new nomenclature. I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that as public as possible.
“If there’s nothing there, let’s tell people there’s nothing there. If there is something there, unless it’s a threat to national security, we ought to share it.”
Dubai has installed the world's first 3D-printed office space—a sleek, futuristic-looking building with energy-efficient features that took only 17 days to print and two days to install.
DUBAI’S NEWEST EXPERIMENT
The city of Dubai, the largest and most populous in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has already proven itself to be in the vanguard of innovation.
It’s really an incubator of innovative technological and architectural ideas—an unrestricted canvas for the human imagination to have free play in designing the city of the future.
“We implement what we plan, and we pursue actions not theories. The rapidly changing world requires us to accelerate our pace of development, for history does not recognize our plans but our achievements,” said His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and hereditary Ruler of Dubai.
The comments, which strike a suitably optimistic note, were made at the opening of the “Office of the Future”—the world’s first 3D-printed office building. It’s Dubai’s newest offering, and it has the potential to reshape the way we think about the spaces in which we work and live (pun intended).

THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE FUTURE
The new, 3D-printed structure is located on the grounds of the Emirates Towers, and will temporarily house the Dubai Future Foundation and Mostaqbal.
And it looks pretty futuristic, too—no harsh lines and blocky regularity, it’s all rounded edges and organic curves. Even the material is innovative, a special cement mixture made in the UAE and the United States.
It was printed using a giant 3D printer measuring 36.5 meters long, 12 meters wide, and 6 meters high (120 ft x 40 ft x 20 ft). The machine used a multi-axis robotic arm to print in 3 dimensions. It took only 17 days to print the structure, and two days to install it on-site.

And the savings in labor costs were enormous—up to 50%. That’s because only one worker was required to supervise the printing process; during the actual installation, seven workers were needed to provide finishing touches and 10 electricians and mechanics were needed to manage specialized connections and equipment.
We’ll see where this new technology takes us; it has the potential to revolutionize housing, making it low-cost and affordable. But at the same time, it means big changes in the labor economy—and the possibility of ushering in widespread unemployment in the housing sector.
What are the four fundamental forces of nature? Let’s see, there’s gravity … electromagnetism … umm … volcanoes? A woman scorned? Cross out the last two and fill in strong nuclear and weak nuclear. Then get ready to add a fifth. A lab in Hungary reports it may have discovered a previously unknown fifth force of nature. Money?
Particle physicists have long suspected the existence of a fifth force of nature because the other four don’t explain dark matter, which makes up 80% of the mass of the Universe. Attila Krasznahorkay, a researcher at the Hungarian Academy of Science’s Institute for Nuclear Research in Debrecen, was looking for this force in rumored “dark photons” – photons that have mass but can only be detected after decaying into electrons and positrons (the antimatter counterparts of electrons).
In January 2016, Krasznahorkay published a paper announcing he had found a dark photon by firing protons at lithium-7, which created unstable beryllium-8 nuclei that then decayed into pairs of electrons and positrons. The particle’s mass was 17 megaelectronvolts (MeV), earning it the name 17-MeV. For particle physicists, that would be enough for a eureka moment and a beer. Unfortunately, the report received little publicity at the time.
An electron-positron spectrometer used in the experiment
Fortunately, a group of theoretical physicists at the University of California, Irvine, took a closer look at the research and determined that what Krasznahorkay may have discovered was not a dark proton but a “protophobic X boson.” If that sounds familiar, it’s a fundamental particle like photons and the recently-discovered Higgs boson – the so-called God particle.
While the protophobic boson has no deity connections, it’s still a big deal. This boson, if it truly exists, couples electrons and neutrons to form a new energy force that Krasznahorkay found but considered to be an anomaly. In April 2016, the UC Irvine team published their findings and called it the fifth fundamental force.
Of course, this is particle physics so there’s bound to be skeptics. The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Virginia is conducting a DarkLight experiment to search for dark photons with masses of 10–100 MeV. It’s the perfect place to attempt to recreate Krasznahorkay’s work on 17-MeV. CERN, home of Higgs boson, will also be conducting studies, as will labs in Rome and Russia.
One of them is bound to conclusively prove the existence ofc the fifth force of nature.
Would that make a woman scorned the SIXTH force of nature?
Onderzoekers: “Adolf Hitler en nazi’s hadden contact met aliens”
Onderzoekers: “Adolf Hitler en nazi’s hadden contact met aliens”
De politieke partij van Adolf Hitler kwam voort uit een schimmige groep die het Thule-Gesellschaft werd genoemd. Dit geheime genootschap gaf de nazi’s onder andere de swastika.
Complottheoretici claimen dat de groep ook zocht naar mythische aliens en de energiebron die zij in handen hadden. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Star. Het Thule-Gesellschaft financierde de nazipartij en veel van haar leden werden prominente nazi’s, waaronder plaatsvervanger van de Führer Rudolf Hess. De naam is ontleend aan het uit de oudheid bekende Ultima Thule, het uiterste noorden.
Een Vril-ya genaamd Zee (links)
Onderzoekers beweren dat hooggeplaatste leden van het Thule-Gesellschaft geloofden dat in ondergrondse gangen op aarde een buitenaards ras woonde. Deze ondergrondse samenleving – Vril-ya genaamd – zou futuristische technologieën hebben ontwikkeld, waaronder een energiebron die Vril werd genoemd.
Schrijvers stellen dat de nazi’s naarstig op zoek waren naar de Vril-ya. Volgens sommigen hebben ze de beschaving ook daadwerkelijk gevonden. Onder meer de theosofen die gelinkt waren aan Mahatma Ghandi geloofden in de kracht van Vril.
Blavatsky
De Duitse raketwetenschapper Willey Ley, die vlak voor het begin van de Tweede Wereldoorlog naar Amerika vluchtte, onthulde dat in Berlijn een geheim genootschap actief was dat op zoek was naar een mythische energiebron genaamd Vril.

De Britse historicus Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, die professor aan de Universiteit van Exeter was, schreef ook over een groep in Berlijn die in de jaren dertig onderzoek deed naar Vril.
Dietrich Eckart, de mentor van Hitler, zou ook lid zijn geweest van het Thule-Gesellschaft. Historicus Hannah Newman claimt dat Eckart erg geïnteresseerd was in de ideeën van Helena Blavatsky, één van de oprichters van de theosofie.
Newman zegt dat Eckhart Hitler kennis liet maken met een boek van Blavatsky, waarin ze claimt dat Vril is gebaseerd op een bestaande magische kracht. Sommigen suggereren dat Hitler aan zwarte magie deed of communiceerde met de Vril-ya.
Ondergrondse bases
Tegen het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog werkte nazi-Duitsland aan een aantal mysterieuze futuristische vliegtuigen, waarvan sommige verdacht veel leken op UFO’s. Onderzoekers stellen dat deze vliegende schotels van de nazi’s werden aangedreven door Vril of andere buitenaardse technologieën.
Voormalig SS-officier Wilhelm Landig, de oprichter van de esoterische Weense cirkel, claimde dat nazi-wetenschappers het onderzoek naar nazi-UFO’s hebben voortgezet in geheime ondergrondse bases onder het poolijs.
Een andere groep uit Wenen, het Tempelhofgesellschaft, stelt dat oude Soemerische manuscripten laten zien dat het Arische ras oorspronkelijk bestond uit aliens die afkomstig waren van een wereld bij Aldebaran, de helderste ster van het sterrenbeeld Stier.

VIDEO: “60 meter hoge torens ontdekt op het maanoppervlak”
De UFO-jagers van Secureteam zeggen met behulp van Google Earth enorme torens aan de rand van een krater op de maan te hebben gevonden. Dat melden Britse media vandaag.
Het maanlandschap is bezaaid met grote structuren die bewijzen dat de maan bewoond is, zo stellen ze. Een filmpje op YouTube over vijf torens van 60 meter hoog gaat momenteel het internet rond.
De korrelige beelden lijken piramidevormige structuren te tonen. “Als je na het kijken gelooft dat er geen enorme kunstmatige bouwwerken op de maan staan, zul je waarschijnlijk nooit overtuigd raken,” klinkt het stellig.
Aan de rand van een andere krater zou een 90 meter lang cilinder- of sigaarvormig object zijn gespot. Secureteam claimt dat de NASA met een digitaal gummetje over oudere foto’s is gegaan waardoor de bouwwerken daarop niet meer zichtbaar zijn. “We hebben bewijs dat NASA ze heeft weggepoetst.”
In het filmpje zijn ook andere structuren te zien die volgens het ruimteagentschap stenen zijn, maar die in de ogen van UFO-jagers bewijzen dat er buitenaardse bouwwerken op de maan staan.
Buitenaardse megastructuur? Onderzoek moet raadsel rond ‘meest mysterieuze ster’ ontrafelen
Buitenaardse megastructuur? Onderzoek moet raadsel rond ‘meest mysterieuze ster’ ontrafelen
Astronomen willen onderzoeken of een buitenaardse beschaving een ‘megastructuur’ rond een verre ster heeft gebouwd. Het onderzoek, dat gefinancierd wordt door middel van crowdfunding, moet het raadsel rond de ‘meest mysterieuze ster in het sterrenstelsel’ ontrafelen.
In 2011 werd er een bijzonder lichtpatroon van de ster, die KIC 8462852 is gedoopt, gesignaleerd. Een studie over de bijzondere ster werd gepubliceerd in de Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society door astronoom Tabetha Boyajian.
Astronoom Jason Wright van de Penn State University meent dat er mogelijk kunstmatige objecten rond de ster zijn ontdekt. Hij denkt dat de objecten rond de ster een soort lichtpanelen zijn waarmee buitenaardse wezens proberen energie op te wekken.
Geen algemeen geaccepteerde theorie
Een team van de Yale-universiteit is op Kickstarter een crowdfundingcampagne gestart om het mysterie te kunnen oplossen. “Er is nog steeds geen algemeen geaccepteerde theorie over het vreemde gedrag van deze ster,” schreef Boyajian.
In een paper schrijft ze dat de mysterieuze ster steeds op onverklaarbare wijze van helderheid verandert. Er is iets wat de ster afdekt. Astronomen proberen erachter te komen wat dat precies is.
Dysonbol
Sommige astronomen denken dat het effect wordt veroorzaakt door een ‘megastructuur’ of een Dysonbol, die zou bestaan uit een systeem van rond de ster draaiende satellieten om energie op te vangen.
Andere astronomen suggereren dat de helderheid verandert als gevolg van passerende kometen. Boyajian hoopt dat er genoeg geld wordt ingezameld om te achterhalen wat er precies rond de ster gebeurt.
Alle mogelijke scenario’s
“De gegevens voor dit project zullen worden gebruikt om alle mogelijke scenario’s te onderzoeken,” ging ze verder. “Hoewel het mogelijk is dat we ontdekken dat de dipjes niet kunnen worden verklaard door natuurlijke fenomenen (wat heel spannend zou zijn!), leiden zulke gegevens niet automatisch tot de conclusie dat er een ‘buitenaardse megastructuur’ rond de ster draait.”
“Hoe dan ook is dit project de ultieme kans om te helpen iets nieuws te ontdekken,” besloot Boyajian.
An Alaskan witness at Fairbanks reported watching and videotaping a pulsating, sphere-shaped UFO that appeared to emit other objects, according to testimony in Case 76358 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside on patrol about 3 a.m. on May 13, 2016, when the object was first seen.
“I noticed a blinking light and I thought it was an airplane,” the witness stated.“When I came around to the other side of the Morris Thompson building heading east I saw a big, bright orb shoot straight down while the blinking light I saw earlier was stationary.”

The witness immediately pulled out a cell phone and began recording the object.
“I felt excited to witness this event and tried to stand very still and capture what I was seeing. The camera itself does not do it justice. It was brighter and after a bit it actually started to mess with my eyes like I was starting to get unfocused and shook my head. In the video, the interesting parts are 1:03 and 2:30 and also I don’t know if the camera captured it, but at 3:20 I said ‘Whoa.’ The object moved really fast and then back to where it was at originally. Then at the end of the video it just disappeared and I felt pretty happy to see it and capture such an event whatever is was.”

Alaska MUFON State Director Jessica Desmond investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.
“The object was the size of a penny at 11-feet,” Desmond wrote in her report. “The witness said that the only noise was of the birds tweeting in the green-space trees. He didn’t hear the craft, didn’t hear any helicopters or jets, or anything. He said that the weird thing about the craft is that it made his eyes feel weird, like they were out of focus; he ended up watching it through his phone so he could focus on it.”

A Virginia witness at Charlottesville reported watching and photographing a triangle-shaped UFO that briefly hovered and moved away at a fairly low altitude, according to testimony in Case 76512 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and her husband were driving home along Barracks Road when her husband pointed out an object in the sky saying, “That is not a regular airplane,” about 9 p.m. on May 21, 2016.
“I looked out the window and stopped in the road when I saw it was hovering almost slightly above us,” the witness stated.“Distance cannot be determined – maybe 2,500 feet above.”
The witness described the object.
“It had several bright, white lights, some flashing, others remained constant. Intuitively, we sensed that it sensed us and perhaps saw us stop our car in the middle of road, to which it then hovered for at least 10 seconds. Then it continued on a low altitude path.”

The witness wondered what they were looking at.
“My first instinct was that it is an advance government aircraft and I felt thrilled at witnessing the technology being conveyed to our sight. We turned around and watched it, and I took a quick photo with my camera phone, that unfortunately did not do it justice, but shows two bright, white lights as it continued on its path away from us. In the picture there are buildings, and above one building, you can see the two white lights.”

WIE WIL ER EMIGREREN NAAR DE HOLLE AARDE ( VIDEO )
WIE WIL ER EMIGREREN NAAR DE HOLLE AARDE ( VIDEO)
Iedereen vindt het maar heel normaal dat er nooit een verkeersvliegtuig over de noord- of zuidpool vliegt.
Iedereen accepteert het kennelijk dat wanneer het ruimtestation ISS toevallig een beetje dicht in de buurt van Antarctica komt, er een luik naar beneden gaat om de camera te blokkeren.
Als wij niet weten dat er zowel op de noord- als de zuidpool ingangen zijn naar een voor ons vreemde aarde, dan geloven wij in het algemeen ook niet dat een dergelijke (binnen)aarde bestaat.
Dat komt omdat wij voorgeprogrammeerd zijn om alleen dát te geloven wat de mainstream wetenschap bewezen heeft verklaard. Ieder andere theorie wordt resoluut verwezen naar het domein van de aluhoedjes en kan dus niet waar zijn.
Er zijn wel degelijk mensen die rotsvast geloven in wat we noemen een Holle Aarde en die, als ze de kans zouden krijgen, daar maar wat graag naartoe zouden gaan.
Zo schreef iemand ons:
Er werd bij de holle aarde ook gesproken over allerlei dieren, wat door me heen ging was dat ik hoopte dat het leven daar vrediger en veiliger is. Ik wil er echt graag heen.
Als je je niet voor kunt stellen dat er een Holle Aarde is, vraag je dan af hoe het kan dat er nooit een commercieel verkeersvliegtuig over de polen zal vliegen. Dat wordt ook duidelijk uit de hierna volgende vliegroutes op aarde.
De reden dat daar geen vliegtuigen over heen mogen vliegen, is omdat er zich ingangen bevinden naar de Holle Aarde. Net zoals je die ook aantreft op andere planeten zoals Mars. Het verhaaltje dat magnetische kompassen niet goed zouden werken als ze recht boven de polen zijn, kan ook naar het rijk der onzin worden verwezen sinds we geavanceerdere manieren hebben onze richting te bepalen.
Er zijn ook wel mensen geweest in de Holle Aarde, zoals bijvoorbeeld Richard Byrd.
Wij schreven hierover in een eerder artikel:
De man die veel ervaring heeft met de Holle Aarde is de legendarische admiraal Richard Byrd. In 1926 vloog Richard E. Byrd naar de Noordpool en in 1929 over de Zuidpool. In zijn dagboek schrijft Byrd over het binnengaan van de Holle Aarde om samen met anderen meer dan 1700 mijl te reizen tussen bergen, meren, rivieren, groene vegetatie en dierenleven!
Hij schrijft dat hij enorme dieren, die op mammoeten uit de oudheid leken, door de bossen zag gaan. Hij vond zelfs steden en een bloeiende beschaving. De buitentemperatuur was zo’n 23° C en zijn vliegtuig werd begroet door vliegende machines die hij nog nooit gezien had. Zij escorteerden hem naar een veilige landingsplek waar hij heel hartelijk werd ontvangen door afgezanten van Agartha.
Na een rustpauze werden hij en zijn bemanning meegenomen naar de koning en koningin van Agartha. Zij vertelden hem dat het hem was toegestaan Agartha binnen te komen omdat hij een hoge moraal en ethisch karakter had. Vervolgens vertelden ze hem dat ze zich zorgen maakten over bommen en andere testen die aan de oppervlakte werden uitgevoerd door diverse regeringen [en dat in 1926 of 1929!].
Na dit bezoek werden Byrd en zijn bemanning begeleid op weg naar de oppervlakte. Nu wordt er al jarenlang driftig gespeculeerd over waar die ingangen naar de Holle Aarde zich dan wel bevinden.
De onderstaande video geeft een mooi overzicht van beeldmateriaal wat er wel degelijk is en waarop duidelijk de ingangen naar de Holle Aarde te zien zijn. Beelden die zoals meestal gemaakt zijn door NASA en waar de censuur een beetje heeft zitten slapen. Mogelijk hebben we ook te maken met soft disclosure (geleidelijke onthullingen).

Guy Summoned UFO In Front Of Many People, Norway, April 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: April and May of 2016
Location of sighting: Norway
This guy has done this many times before and has had close up sightings like the one at 6 min into the video (above photos). Its just a fact that some entities (UFOs, drones, aliens) can hear a focused human thought from miles away. Not all mind you, but some. I have tried it and succeeded on the first try...which blew my mind. It doesn't work every time. but be prepared. I had a tripod set up watching the sky as the baseball size orb came up right behind me 2 meters away on an 8 floor roof! They are sneaky, and like to think they can outsmart you. Might be best to have 3 or more cameras with tripods facing opposite directions.
Oh and guys, anyone can summon a UFO. Its not a gift, its the passion and effort of your focused thought. Clear your mind, and think nice thoughts and ask them to come.
Robbert van den Broeke is a medium who is in contact with what he feels is the "Divine." Recently he has also been able to request the presence of "UFOs." Listen to witnesses to some of his abilities TESTIFY to their experiences of Robbert's abilities in this video. Later in the video you can hear witnesses speak about Robbert who appeared to them. This phenomenon is also called bilocation.
UFO Appears Over Volcano In Mexico On Live Cam, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Appears Over Volcano In Mexico On Live Cam, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: March 24 and 26, 2016 Location of sighting: Volcano Popocatepetl, Mexico This UFO was caught on live cam over Mexico and is further proof that UFOs do exit and enter the mouth of this volcano. This mouth cannot be investigated closely by a human because this a live volcano and has sporadic explosions every few days. It would be a great achievement if someone with a drone flew it into the mouth of the volcano, but I believe defending the 600+ meter depth would cause the remote control to lose contact with the drone. Perhaps if it was controlled by a person in a helicopter, but sounds too risky. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Missile Or UFO Shoots From Space Station On May 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:May 2016
Location of sighting: International Space Station, ISS
This is concerning. Someone was watching the live NASA space station cam and caught a missile-like object shooting downward toward Earth. Has the space station been weaponised? NASA gave most of the control of the station to the Russians a few years ago when the shuttles were decommissioned, so yeah, its possible Russia armed it, but this object looks more like a UFO than a missile. There is no rocket engine propulsion on it. No glow near the engines, nothing that would say its Earth tech, unless its not and Russia is using alien tech weapons now. So we narrowed it down to two objects, an alien UFO or a alien tech military drone made by gov company disguised as a public ones like Bigelow Aerospace, QinetiQ, United Space Alliance, Boeing, Hughs Tech Service Co., Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, and much more.

Light Rider Unveils The World’s First 3D Printed Electric Motorcycle
Light Rider Unveils The World’s First 3D Printed Electric Motorcycle
APWorks
IN BRIEF
APWORKS, a subsidiary of Airbus that focuses on cutting edge engineering, just announced their new product-- the Light Rider, a 3D metal printed motorcycle that claims to be the first of its kind.
LIGHTER RIDES
Additive layer manufacturing (ALM), more commonly known as 3D printing, is increasingly being used extensively in engineering today. Just a few months ago, we saw the world’s first 3D printed car roll out, and now, APWorks just unveiled the Light Rider, the world’s first 3D printed electric motorcycle.
The company is a full subsidiary of the aircraft manufacturer Airbus, and was established to put more focus on state-of-the-art technologies such as ALM, and creating advanced materials. The Light Rider is one of the larger testaments to their work having a complex design produced through metallic 3D printing.
APWorks claims that their vehicle is 30% lighter than other conventional e-motorcycles with a remarkable weight of 35 kg (77 lbs). Lightweight as it is, the vehicle is powered by a 6 kW electric motor, allowing it to go up to 80 kph (49.71 mph).
BIONIC DESIGN
In a press release, the APWorks emphasizes that 3D printing technology has given their design and manufacturing process a revolutionary turn beyond aesthetics. The company used an algorithm that makes use of natural patterns and structures to generate the highly optimized design of the Light Rider.
The result? A frame that looks more like an “organic exoskeleton.” But this was what they had aimed for anyway; the complex hollow structure makes way for a sturdy build, with a lot of spaced saved. Moreover, APWorks even put their own material into the product—Scalmalloy—an aluminum alloy as strong as titanium.
While the technology is beyond that of your conventional bike, the Light Rider’s look does not entirely depart from the common motorcycle. APWorks asserts that their ALM-based production will not just go into products like these, but beyond into robotics, and even aerospace applications.

MIT Tech Make It Possible To 3D Print Ultra-fine Programmable Hair
MIT Tech Make It Possible To 3D Print Ultra-fine Programmable Hair
Dezeen/youtube
IN BRIEF
New technology lets us 3D print artificial programmable hair, called Cillia, at about 50 microns in width. MIT has already presented several applications for the hair such as jewelry, customized paint brushes, gearless motors, movable surfaces, and adhesive surfaces.
CILLLIA, JUST LIKE CILIA
At this year’s ACM CHI, a team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) presented, what is perhaps, one of the most peculiar (but groundbreaking) technologies developed in 3D printing thus far: Printing densely packed, artificial programmable hair.
And at just 50 microns in width (one micron is 1×10−6 of a metre), some of its more serious applications include functioning like cilia.
If you aren’t aware, cilia are extremely small hair-like organelles found on the surface of mammalian cells and organs. They’re responsible for certain functions in your body that you might not actually be aware of, but are rather necessary all the same (they do things like keep your lung airways clear and allow our eyes to function properly so we aren’t all blind).
And with this in mind, the team is calling this technology Cilllia.
PAVING THE WAY TO NEW APPLICATIONS
The team behind Cilllia is from MIT’s Tangible Media Group, and their project is a bitmap-generating program that creates these ultra-fine hair-like structures instead of modelling hair strands individually through other software. A bitmap is a type of memory organization, or image file format, that is used to store digital images.
Since the generated model is a bitmap, these files are 3D printer-ready, meaning you just run the software, set the precise characteristics of the hair, and then print.
Impressive as this already is, the resulting artificial hair has a host of other fascinating applications.
While there are a number of potential aesthetic purposes, customized paint brushes or strong adhesive surfaces might be at the top of people’s lists on what 3D printed hair could be used for.
Moreover, by applying vibration to the hair, it causes them to do interesting things like move objects in a certain pattern, like conveyor belts…without the belts (kind of how cilia function in some instances). And by controlling the characteristics of the hairs and matching them with specific vibrations, the researchers have developed gearless motors.
They even made figurines that can “dance” to music.
And just like sensory cilia, the artificial hair could also pave the way to new tactile sensors. Thanks to the sensitive nature of the hair’s structure, the researchers simply placed a patch over a microphone, and it can sense how you touch it.

Light Behaving Badly: Strange Beams Reveal Hitch in Quantum Mechanics
Light Behaving Badly: Strange Beams Reveal Hitch in Quantum Mechanics
By Tia Ghose, Senior Writer
Credit: agsandrew | Shutterstock
A hidden property of corkscrew, spiraled beams of light could put a hitch in quantum mechanics.
The photons, or light particles, inside these light-based Möbius strips spin with a momentum previously thought to be impossible. The findings could shake up some of the assumptions in quantum mechanics, the rules that govern the menagerie of tiny subatomic particles.
"This is a sort of fairly basic property of light, and we've shown it's not working the way people thought it would," said study co-author Paul Eastham, a physicist at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland. [Wacky Physics: The Coolest Little Particles in Nature]
Hollow beams of light
The research was spurred by findings from roughly two centuries ago, when Irish physicist and astronomer William Hamilton and his colleague Humphrey Lloyd predicted that crystals with certain internal arrangements of their atoms would create a hollow tube of light if the incident light hit the crystal at just the right angle.
In honor of the 200th anniversary of this discovery, Eastham and his colleagues decided to probe the theoretical underpinnings of this phenomenon. He began to wonder what this type of hollow light beam implied for the angular momentum, or spin, of light particles that made up the ray. As he worked through the math, he realized something strange: The photons inside the conical ray would have an angular momentum of one-half of Planck's constant, the fundamental constant that governs the relationship between energy and wavelength.
But that seemed impossible, given that the equations of quantum mechanics implied that light particles could have spins that were multiples of the fundamental constant (for instance, twice Planck's constant, negative three times Planck's constant, and so on).
Half-spin photons
To see if his calculations would be borne out in reality, the team tested the theory. They sent a laser beam through a crystal at a precise angle, and then used a mainstay optical device called an interferometer to split the beams of light and sort them according to their spin.
Sure enough, the photons, when measured, had angular momentums equal to one-half Planck's constant and minus one-half Planck's constant, respectively, the researchers reported online April 29 in the journal Science Advances.
The findings are fascinating because they imply that light particles don't behave as they're predicted to, said study co-author Kyle Ballantine, a physicist at Trinity College Dublin.
"All particles can be divided into two fundamental groups: Bosons, including photons in all measurements to date, have integer [whole number] angular momentum; and fermions [such as electrons] have half-integer," Ballantine told Live Science in an email. "This distinction leads to very different quantum behavior. Our result shows that we can make beams of photons which behave like fermions, a completely different form of matter."
Still, the new results don't reduce the significance of Planck's constant or tear down the entire edifice of subatomic physics, Eastham said.
"We haven't broken quantum mechanics," Eastham told Live Science.
However, the results are still so new that it's not clear exactly what they suggest, Eastham said. One immediate implication: The findings could affect quantum computing and cryptography, both of which would rely on statistics regarding subatomic particles that may need to be rethought, he said.
Hiding From Hostile Aliens Is Pointless, They Already Know We’re Here Warns Expert
Hiding From Hostile Aliens Is Pointless, They Already Know We’re Here Warns Expert
The only thing we can do now is try to make a good first impression.
Making first contact with intelligent alien life is probably on the top of any astronomer’s wish list.
In fact meeting extra terrestrials for the first time is probably pretty high on anyone’s list.
What we often forget though is that not every alien civilisation is going to want to play nice, and so in our efforts to reach out, the messaging has to be flawless.
UNIVERSALIMAGESGROUP VIA GETTY IMAGES
In 1974, scientists sent a three minute message towards M13, a cluster of stars some 24,000 light years away.
Speaking to Forbes, Douglas Vakoch, President of METI (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence) International warned that it’s probably highly likely that intelligent and advanced alien civilizations already know we’re here, both hostile and peaceful.
“It’s too late to conceal ourselves in the universe, so we should decide how we want to represent ourselves,”
At present, one of the major concerns around how we’re doing that is focused around our love of entertainment.
KYODO KYODO / REUTERS
There are 1000s of communications satellites orbiting the Earth this second.
If an advanced civilisation has picked up a signal from us, the likelihood is that it’s more to do with what we’re watching on a Saturday night than our deep understanding of our place in the universe.
To correct this METI is reportedly planning to reassess the type of message we send out into the cosmos. Instead it will focus on redefining how we package the information we send out.
UNCREDITED/AP
At the other end of the spectrum is SETI’s UK-based attempt at making contact.
In an interview with Forbes, SETI advocate Joao Pedro Magalhaes explains that we must assume aliens already have some knowledge of us, it’s now a case of simply making sure they know we’re ready to learn more.
VICTOR HABBICK VISIONS VIA GETTY IMAGES
This is by no means the first instance where scientists have suggested we’re not alone in the universe.
“Rather than asking how many civilisations may exist now, we ask ‘Are we the only technological species that has ever arisen?” explains coauthor Woodruff Sullivan from the University of Washington.
The new formula should give considerable hope to those who wonder if humanity is indeed the only civilisation in the universe because it not only suggests that there are advanced alien races out there but that the likliehood is that many have already been and gone long before we evolved.
As NASA's New Horizons probe speeds toward a possible encounter with an object beyond the orbit of Pluto, the spacecraft has made observations of another icy object located in the same outer region of the solar system.
New Horizons finished its close encounter with Pluto last July and since then has completed two sets of observations on an object in the Kuiper Belt, the band of objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. The icy body is known as 1994 JR1 and orbits about 32 astronomical units away from the sun (an astronomical unit is the distance from the Earth to the sun). New Horizons' view of the faint, icy body can be seen inthis video from Space.com.
The observations put a stop to the hypothesis that JR1 may be a satellite of Pluto, New Horizons science team member Simon Porter said in a statement from NASA. [See More Pluto Photos by NASA's New Horizons]
The icy body 1994 JR1 lies in the Kuiper Belt region of the solar system, beyond Pluto. The New Horizons probe has been studying the object in 2016.

"Combining the November 2015 and April 2016 observations allows us to pinpoint the location of JR1 to within 1,000 kilometers (about 600 miles), far better than any small [Kuiper Belt object]," said Porter, a postdoctoral planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado.
The team also figured out how fast the 90-mile-wide (150 km) object is rotating, using observations taken in April. Changes in light reflected off of JR1's surface showed that the object rotates once every 5.4 hours, which is considered relatively quick for a KBO.
These observations will serve as practice for the possible 20 other objects New Horizons can see in the Kuiper Belt through its extended mission. If the New Horizons extended mission receives approval from NASA, the probe will do close-up observations of 2014 MU69 on Jan. 1, 2019.
New atmospheric insights
Meanwhile, researchers continue to analyze data from last year's Pluto encounter. Team members now have new insights into the dwarf planet's tenuous atmosphere after looking at starlight passing through the wispy gas, according to the NASA statement.
Roughly four hours after New Horizons made its closest approach to Pluto, on July 14, the spacecraft's ultraviolet spectrometer instrument looked at two stars moving behind Pluto and its atmosphere (astronomers call this a stellar occultation).

"The light from each star dimmed as it moved through deeper layers of Pluto’s atmosphere, absorbed by various gases and hazes," NASA wrote in a second press release.
The spectrometer confirmed previous measurements from New Horizons showing that Pluto's upper atmosphere is up to 25 percent colder (and thus more compact) than what scientists expected before New Horizons flew by. The instrument also confirmed a calculation that nitrogen molecules escape the dwarf planet's atmosphere at a rate of about 1,000 times lower than expected.
Stellar occultations of 1994 JR1 were also performed using light from the sun. This allowed New Horizons to confirm the atmospheric temperature and structure, measure the escape rate of nitrogen molecules from the atmosphere, and detect the presence of various gases (including nitrogen, methane and acetylene).
The US President is under pressure thanks to similar disclosure promises made by the campaign of Democratic candidate for Obama's replacement, Hillary Clinton.
Stephen Bassett, executive director of US-based Paradigm Research Group (PRG), believes that there could be a massive announcement to come.
And he says David Cameron will follow suit almost immediately after.
The 69-year-old has been lobbying the White House to release these details for 20 years and is excited about being "on the brink" of discovering the truth.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest was asked about UFOs by Associated Press reporter Jeff Bower
"This will be a reality this year and across the front pages of newspapers across the world, he told the Daily Express, adding that "ET is real".
The Democratic candidate spoke out on Jimmy Kimmel Live as she leads the race against Bernie Sanders for the party's nomination for November's election.
She has followed in the footsteps of her husband Bill, who appeared on the show in 2014 and was asked if he ever looked into UFOs or Area 51 - a top secret airbase rumoured to "back engineer" alien craft.
Bill said "sort of" but added there were no dead aliens there.
Chad Adams
John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, has spoken about a release of files
Speaking for the first time on TV about the issue, she told Kimmel: “I’m going to do it again. There’s a new name for UFOs. It’s unexplained aerial phenomena.
"That's the new nomenclature. I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that as public as possible.
Hillary Clinton confirms she WILL release secret UFO files if she's elected US president
UFO hunters are feeling out of this world - thanks to Hillary Clinton:
“If there’s nothing there, let’s tell people there’s nothing there. If there is something there, unless it’s a threat to national security, we ought to share it.”

Unknown Species
Unknown Species
Unknown Species
Many creatures have been photographed or filmed across the globe, some of them might be mythological, some have been found to be hoaxes, but many of them remain unexplained. Let’s not forget that scientists have concluded that planet Earth is home to a TRILLION species, meaning that 99.999% are yet to be discovered and catalogued.
They might be strange to us, but they have probably been on Earth much longer than we have!
– El Chupacabra or just Chupacabra, is a legendary cryptozoology creature that has been haunting various parts of the globe since an initial sighting in March 1995. The term “Chupacabra” is derived from Spanish, with chupar meaning “to suck” and cabra meaning “goat.”
The creature gained this dark, mystical name from the initial reports from Puerto Rico in 1995. In March and August 1995, attacks on more than 150 farm animals left officials dumbfounded. Eyewitness accounts, published in local newspapers, spoke of a creature with a “reptilian body, oval head, bulging red eyes, fanged teeth and long, darting tongue.”
The farm animals in Puerto Rico were found to be drained of blood with puncture wounds in the neck. No meat was taken from the animals’ bodies. The situation in Puerto Rico reached such a fever pitch that Mayor Jose Soto recruited volunteers to hunt the creature weekly for nearly a year, with no success.
Some people have confused this creature with some kind of wild dogs who had lost their fur due to carrying a disease; tests often identify the creatures as mammals with parasitic mange of various types, but can never account for dead or victimized farm animals and livestock in the area:
Sewer Creatures
Sewers are incredible places, I remember going inside some of them under the busy street of Paris when I was a kid, me and my friends have discovered incredible things down there like very valuable antiques, weird looking animals, and very large and very fast moving creatures!
These places were dark, scary but fascinating. Now, it seems that some creatures of unknown origins have decided to choose the sewers as their permanent homes:
United Utilities Water, Reyner Street, England:
North Carolina, this is very freaky:
Some unknown species are caught in the wild too, this one was caught by a farmer’s rat trap in Mexico and left scientists baffled! Guess what happened to the farmer after he showed his discovery to the world? He was murdered!
The following video shows a cam shot of a creature that could be related to the one above, the camera was destroyed but the memory card was intact. This “incident” which occurred in Berwick, made it to the national news in the US:
Skinwalkers, these rather strange specimens were caught twice on CCTV, obviously many people have tried to debunk the footage, claiming they were controlled by string attachments, radio controlled or even people wearing very small (and extremely uncomfortable) costumes, the place is Fresno, USA:
Let’s not forget that we have no idea what’s underneath our water too, this rather large creature was filmed in the river Thames, yes we had pilot whales swimming there and unfortunately ending up losing their lives, but this is way bigger than a pilot whale and it is still alive as no carcasses have been found after this incident:
It was also filmed from a different angle, this story made it to every single mainstream media here in the UK:
UIP Summary: Once I was asked: “Why don’t you research what already exists on Earth instead of scouring the sky”? That was a very good question indeed! My answer was: “If I know more about UFOs and the alien influence, I will be able to gain the knowledge of many unknown species here on Earth, because us human are the alien species on this planet since our “gods” modified our DNA for gold mining purposes” Although, some species were left behind by other alien races and are thriving on Earth!
But why did they leave them behind? To replace us would be my wildest guess…

Project Blue Book: US Air Force UFO documents revealed (well kind of)
Project Blue Book: US Air Force UFO documents revealed (well kind of)
The Air Force says this wreckage, recovered near Roswell, New Mexico, came from a radar target!??!?!
Amateur historian John Greenewald has spent nearly two decades requesting declassified information from the US government regarding UFOs.
Recently, he posted more than 100,000 pages of documents on the US Air Force’s internal UFO investigations to the internet. Here are the top five things to know from the open files of Project Blue Book.
1. Project Blue Book had a sizeable mission.
The origins of the ambitious project can be traced to June 1947, UFO researcher Alejandro Rojas tells the BBC.
The editor of Open Minds magazine says a well-respected businessman and pilot, Kenneth Arnold, was flying over Washington state when he witnessed several unidentified flying objects.
Arnold later described the crafts as “skipping like saucers”, which the media adopted and took to calling flying saucers.
This high-profile incident – along with several others, including a rumoured UFO landing in Roswell, New Mexico, the same year – led the Air Force to launch an investigative body.
Named Project Blue Book and headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, the programme was reportedly comprising only a handful of staff.
Nonetheless the group investigated 12,618 UFO sightings in a two-decade period.
2. Project Blue Book was created in a time of public unease
Formed in the years immediately following World War Two, Project Blue Book was intended to stop the spread of public unease about a growing number of reported UFO sightings, including over such landmarks as the White House and US Capitol.
“There was a lot of hysteria with the public, and that to the military and government at the time was a big threat in itself,” Greenewald says. “It didn’t matter if UFOs were alien or not, they were causing a panic, so [the government] had to settle everybody’s nerves.”
“There are secrets after conspiracies after scandals that continue to come out” John Greenewald Amateur UFO historian
Though frequently met with derision today, UFO sightings are said to have been discussed at the top levels of government in the 1940s and 1950s.
“It was taken very seriously back then,” Rojas says, with Central Intelligence Agency chiefs publicly claiming it was a real phenomenon and even then-Congressman Gerald Ford warning it needed to be investigated.
In 1966 a separate Air Force committee was set up to further delve into some of the cases within Project Blue Book. That group later released a report finding no evidence of UFO activity.
Project Blue Book was officially shuttered in 1969.
3. Many of the Project Blue Book cases appear open-and-shut
Though many credible sources, from Navy admirals to military and civilian pilots, reported seeing UFOs, most of the cases investigated by Project Blue Book were deemed caused by weather balloons, swamp gases, meteorological events or even temperature inversions.
In Seattle, Washington, in April 1956, a witness described seeing a “round, white object, one-half the size of the moon … [and] going round and round”, according to documents.
Investigators later concluded it was a meteor and closed the case.
Amateur UFO investigators believe the truth is still out there…the truth is out there!
In January 1961 in Newark, New Jersey, a witness reported viewing a dark grey object “about the size of a jet with no wings”.
That object was later deemed a jet aircraft flying in the area.
4. Some Project Blue Book cases aren’t so easily explained
According to Greenewald and Rojas, more than 700 Project Blue Book entries could not ultimately be explained by investigators. Many such cases cited insufficient data or evidence.
But even some of the closed cases raise more questions than answers for UFO researchers.
In one such example, a police officer in 1964 in Socorro, New Mexico, halted vehicular pursuit of a suspect after he saw a strange aircraft overhead.
The officer followed the craft – which he described as bearing a strange red insignia – and saw it land and two child-sized beings exit.
It later took off, leaving scorch marks and trace evidence on the ground.
“[Project] Blue Book labelled it unexplained; even after all these decades they still can’t explain it,” Greenewald says.
5. There is still information to be uncovered about UFO activity
Though Greenewald has amassed a stockpile of government documents, he says there are still many he – and the public – has not yet accessed.
One request to the National Security Agency yielded hundreds of pages, but they were so redacted only a few words were readable on each page, he says.
Other US government entities – including the Central Intelligence Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency – also conducted UFO investigations that have not been publicly released, Greenewald notes.
“I think Project Bluebook … is simply the tip of the iceberg,” he says, adding he will continue to request more information from the US government.
“There are secrets after conspiracies after scandals that continue to come out,” Greenewald concludes. “There’s always something to go after.”
A high percentage of UFO sightings could not and have not ever been explained!?
UIP Summary
Project Blue Book: At a time of immense pressure on the US government to disclose the truth about Aliens, look what they go and coincidentally release…..which has plenty of blank spaces (no answers) in it!?
Those ‘blank space’ to us here at UIP shout the truth out more than any other ‘UFO Explanations’ in this book. A huge amount of sightings could not be explained, of which the US Airforce decided to just confirm instead that these UFO’s were not a threat to their country and left it like that (yeah right!).
At a time when the world is screaming out that it wants the TRUTH about the UFO’s in the sky and Alien contact, the US Government and many other world Governments appear to be presenting so-called information in order to one day declare to the world “well we did present you with our evidence at the time!” In our mind at UIP this releasing of such high profile information, goes hand in hand with the rest of the Drip feeding of disclosure that we have recently seen off the US Governments….Basically facts about nothing!
The below images sums up the information which is contained in this book (well the information they are ‘allowing’ us to see)

'I proved human-alien hybrids EXIST', says scientist who 'found them living on Earth'
'I proved human-alien hybrids EXIST', says scientist who 'found them living on Earth'
A GREEN energy expert, who helped shape UK renewable power policies, says he is convinced aliens have been secretly implanting extra terrestrial DNA into pregnant humans.
A green energy expert claims humans and aliens have made hybrids
Author Miguel Mendonça, 42, now claims the so-called alien-hybrid community is expanding on Earth and vital to the future of the human race because of how they are helping us "evolve into higher beings".
Mr Mendonça, who suffers with MS, the illness that leaves suffers with neurological symptoms, muscle pain and severe physical and mental exhaustion, even feels better with increased energy levels for having regular contact with the hybrids, although he stressed it could not cure his condition.
He said: "It's made no difference to my condition, but I do feel better on some levels."
Mr Mendonça, from Bristol, was formerly research manager for the World Future Council, which promotes best policy renewable power sources, and has written extensively on green energy policy.
However, for his latest publication, Meet The Hybrids: The Lives And Missions of ET Ambassadors On Earth published by Amazon and co-authored with Barbara Lamb, he spent time interviewing eight people who claim they have grown up with implanted alien DNA in their bodies and are part of a mission to improve mankind.
Ms Lamb has held great interest in the claims since she first heard them and has been an alien abduction researcher since the 1980s.
Mr Mendonça said he began the project with an open mind, but after finishing the research was convinced they were telling the truth and thinks he has now solved the mystery of why UFOs allegedlyvisit the Earth.
These hybrids are raising the vibration and awakening people. I have gone through a process and to me it is undeniable.
Author Miguel Mendonça
In researching the book, each 'hybrid' was given the same set of questions to answer, including how they discovered they were a hybrid, what their genetic make-up was, and why they were here on Earth.
Mr Mendonça told Express.co.uk: "What became clear was how similar each of their accounts were. These were hybrids independent of each other who were describing the same experiences."
Among the interviewees was Robert Frost-Fullington, 36, from California, in the US.
He claimed to have DNA from four alien species known as reptilians, Sirians, Tall Whites and those which appear like a praying mantis.
He claimed in the book to have had implants inserted under his tongue at the age of five, before experiencing several encounters with aliens.
After periods of "conscious recall", in 2011, he said he realised he was a hybrid.
Asked how he was created, he said: "When the human woman becomes pregnant, she's taken up onto a craft and the beings will take the embryo and create a genetic overlay."
But far from seeing this non-consensual kidnap and interference as sinister, Mr Frost-Fullington and other hydbrids, including women, claim it is being done in the interest of humanity.
The people interviewed claimed their mission on Earth was to "raise" what they believe is a "frequency" on Earth by increasing an energy they refer to as "vibrations."

They all suggested this was triggering an ascension to take place, whereby humans will evolve from the third to an alleged fifth dimension, and lead more spiritual rather than physical lives.
Things such as war and violence are likely to end, it is claimed.
Tatiana Amore, 34, from southern England, was also interviewed, and said she was predominately of the "Pleiadian" race.
She said: "I understand the Earth is now changing to a new frequency which is meant to be lighter and better for humans."
However, although the hybrid were described as independent, one of them was Cynthia Crawford, 67, from Arizona.
It became clear in the book she had counselled and met several of the other interviewees before the research began.

Legal alien? Cynthia Crawford
Mrs Crawford and Mrs Lamb also both spoke at the 2011 Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) annual convention at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Irvine, California, according to skepticblog.com.
Express.co.uk asked Mr Mendonça why he had not extended the research to interviewing the alleged hybrid's parents, or more scientific tests, such as putting the subjects through DNA and lie detector testing, and locating their alleged implants for further examination.
Mr Mendonça said: "Some said their parents were freaked out or did not want to know because they were old-school Christians."
He did not believe DNA screening would show anything unusual, because: "All it would find is their normal code and it would ignore anything else."
He added that they were reluctant to give up their DNA samples amid fears "secret military projects would use it to create human super soldiers."
But he added: "Robert is apparently warming to the idea of doing DNA testing, but we did not ask people to submit to DNA tests as much as anything because we did not have funding for that."
He added he had not considered the use of lie detectors or scans for implants, but that there had been an "independent verification" of interviewee Charmaine D'Rozario-Saytch, a 28-year-old woman from southern England, having a "possible implant".

THE INNER EARTH ORIGIN OF THE FLYING SAUCERS
THE INNER EARTH ORIGIN OF THE FLYING SAUCERS
The conception of a hollow earth presented in this book offers the most reasonable theory of the origin of the flying saucers and far more logical than the belief in their interplanetary origin.
For this reason, leading flying saucer experts, as Ray Palmer, editor of "Flying Saucers" magazine, and Gray Barker, a well known writer on flying saucers, have accepted the theory of their subterranean origin as against the idea that they come from other planets.
The theory that flying saucers came from the Earth's interior and not from other planets originated in Brazil and only later was it taken up by American flying saucer experts.
In 1957, while browsing in a Sao Paulo, Brazil, bookstore, the author came across a book that struck his attention, entitled, "From the Subterranean World to the Sky: Flying Saucers".
The book was devoted to the thesis that flying saucers were not space ships from other planets but were of terrestrial origin and came from a subterranean race dwelling inside the earth.
At first, the author could not accept this strange, unorthodox theory concerning the origin of the flying saucers, which seemed improbable and impossible, since it would require the existence of a cavity of tremendous size inside the earth in which they could fly, in view of their tremendous speed.
In fact, this cavity would have to be so large that it would make the earth a hollow sphere.
At this time the author had not come across the remarkable books of two American scientists, William Reed and Marshall B. Gardner, proving, on basis of evidence from Arctic explorers, that the earth is hollow with openings at the Poles, with a diameter of 5,800 miles in its hollow interior, large enough for flying saucers to fly in.
Huguenin's theory of the subterranean origin of the flying saucers, however, was not original.
The idea was first put forward by Professor Henruique Jose de Souza, president of the Brazilian Theosophical Society, which has its headquarters in Sao Lourenco in the State of Minas Gerais, where there is an immense temple in Greek style dedicated to "Agharta," the Buddhist name for the Subterranean World.
Among the professor's students at Sao Lourenco were Mr. Huguenin and Commander Paulo Justino Strauss, officer of the Brazilian Navy and member of the Diretoria of the Brazilian Theosophical Society, From him they learned about the Subterranean World, and also the idea that flying saucers come from the Earth's interior.
It was for this reason that Mr. Huguenin dedicated his book to Prof. de Souza and his wife, D. Helena Jefferson de Souza.
While Huguenin incorporated the idea of the subterranean origin of the flying saucers in a book, Commander Strauss presented it in a series of lectures which he held in Rio de Janeiro, in which he affirmed that the flying saucers are of terrestrial origin, but do not come from any known nation on the earth's surface.
They originate, he believes, in the Subterranean World, the World of Agharta, whose capital city is known as Shamballah.
In his book, Huguenin presents Strauss's views on the subterranean origin of the flying saucers and against the theory that they come from other planets as follows:
"The hypothesis of the extra-terrestrial origin of the flying saucers does not seem acceptable. Another possibility is that they are military aircraft belonging to some existing nation on earth. This hypothesis, however, is opposed by the following arguments:
"1. If the United States and Russia possessed flying saucers, they would not desist from announcing this fact because of its value as a psychological arm to secure advantages in the diplomatic field. Also they would manufacture and use these vehicles for military purposes, since they are so rapid and powerful that they would leave the enemy almost without means of defense.
"2. The United States and USSR would not continue to spend large sums of money on the manufacture of ordinary airplanes if they possessed the secret of producing flying saucers."
After presenting the argument that flying saucers do not come from any existing nation and his view that they are not of interplanetary origin, Huguenin quotes Strauss to the fact that they come from the Subterranean World. On this subject he writes:
"Finally, we must consider the most recent and interesting theory that has been offered to account for the origin of the flying saucers: the existence of a great Subterranean World with innumerable cities in which live millions of inhabitants.
"This other humanity must have reached a very high degree of civilization, economic organization and social, cultural and spiritual development, together with an extraordinary scientific progress, in comparison with whom the humanity that lives on the earth's surface may be considered as a race of barbarians.
"The idea of the existence of a Subterranean World will shock many people. To others it will sound absurd and impossible, for 'certainly,' they say, 'if it existed, it would have been discovered long ago.'
"And there are plenty of other critics who would point out that it would be impossible for such an inhabited world to exist inside the earth because of the belief that as one descends, the temperature increases, on the basis of which theory it is supposed that, since the temperature increased the further down one went, the center of the earth is a fiery mass.
"However, this increase in temperature does not mean that the center of the earth is fiery, since it might extend only for a limited distance and, as in the case of volcanos and hot springs, arise from subterranean cavities located at certain levels (below which the temperature again drops as one goes downward).
"In accordance with the hypothesis that heat increases as one descends through the earth's crust, this takes place only a distance of eighty kilometers (in the superficial layer of the earth).
"According to the information supplied by Commander Paulo Justin Strauss, the Subterranean World is not restricted to caverns, but is more or less extensive and located in a hollow inside the Earth large enough to contain cities and fields, where live human beings and animals, whose physical structure resembles those on the surface.
"Among its inhabitants are certain persons who came from the surface, who, like Colonel Fawcett and his son Jack, descended, never to return."
(Huguenin here refers to the views of Professor de Souza and Commander Strauss on the controversial subject of Colonel Fawcett's mysterious disappearance, claiming that he and his son Jack are still living in a subterranean city to which they gained access through a tunnel in the Roncador Mountains of Northeast Matto Grosso, and were not killed by Indians as commonly supposed.
(Fawcett's wife, who claims to be in telepathic contact with him, is positive that he is still living, so much so that she sent an expedition to Matto Grosso, in charge of her other son, to find him, but in vain, because he was no longer on the earth's surface, but in the Subterranean World.)
Huguenin then asks how these marvelous subterranean cities and this advanced civilization in the interior of the earth arose.
His answer is that the builders and most of the inhabitants of this Subterranean World are members of an antediluvian race which came from the prehistoric submerged continents of Lemuria and Atlantis, who found refuge there from the flood that destroyed their Motherland.
(Lemuria sank under the Pacific Ocean... while Atlantis was submerged by a series of inundations, the last of which occurred 11,500 years ago, according to Plato's account, derived from ancient Egyptian records. Egypt was a colony of Atlantis to the East, just as the Aztec, Mayan and Inca empires were to the West.)
Huguenin claims that the Atlanteans, who were far in advance of us in scientific development, flew the sky in aircraft utilizing a form of energy obtained directly from the atmosphere, and which were known as "vimanas," which were identical with what we know as flying saucers.
Prior to the catastrophe that destroyed Atlantis, the Atlanteans found refuge in the Subterranean World in the hollow interior of the earth, to which they traveled on their "vimanas" or flying saucers, reaching it through the polar openings.
Ever since then, their flying saucers remained in the earth's interior atmosphere and were used for purposes of transportation from one point in the interior concave world to another, for in this world, inside the crust of the earth, a straight aerial line is the shortest distance between any two points, no matter how far apart.
It was only after the Hiroshima atomic explosion that these Atlantean aircraft rose to the surface for the first time, and were known as flying saucers. As we have pointed out previously, they came as an act of self-defense, to prevent radioactive pollution of the air they receive from the outside.
Huguenin is convinced that flying saucers are not space ships from other planets, but Atlantean airships. It seems that throughout history, especially in ancient times, these aircraft occasionally rose to the surface, and some historical figures rode in them.
Thus in the Indian epic, "Ramayana," there is a description of a Celestial Car of Rama, the great teacher of Vedic India, known as "vimana," a controlled aerial vehicle.
It was capable of flying great distances. Rama's aerial record was a hop from Ceylon to Mount Kailas in Tibet.
In the "Mahabharata," we read of Chrishna's enemies having built an aerial chariot with sides of iron and clad with wings. The "Smranagana Sutrahara" says that by means of skyships human beings can fly in the air and "heavenly beings" would come down to earth.
That aerial navigation existed long before the making of the first modern airplane by the Wright brothers, the director of the International Academy of Sanskrit Investigation at Mysen, India, discovered an ancient treatise on aeronautics, which was written three thousand years ago.
It was attributed to the Indu sage Bharadway, who wrote a manuscript called "Vymacrika Shastra," meaning "the Science of Aeronautics."
It has eight chapters with diagrams, describing three types of aircraft, including apparatuses that could neither catch on fire nor break, and mentions thirty-one essential parts of these vehicles and sixteen materials from which they are constructed, which absorb light and heat, for which reason they were considered suitable for the construction of airplanes.
It is interesting to note the similarity of the word "vymacrika" and "vimanas," indicating that the Hindus obtained their knowledge of aerial navigation from the subterranean Atlanteans who must have visited them in ancient times and taught them.
From Brazil, where the theory of the subterranean origin of the flying saucers originated, it spread to the United States, where Ray Palmer, editor of "Flying Saucers" magazine became its enthusiastic proponent, abandoning his former belief in their interplanetary origin in favor of the new theory that they came from the hollow interior of the earth.
In the December, 1959 issue of his magazine, he wrote:
"In this issue we have presented the results of years of research, in which we advance the possibility that the flying saucers not only are from our own planet, and not from space, inner or outer, but there is a tremendous mass to evidence to show that there is an UNKNOWN location of vast dimensions which is, insofar as we can safely state at this writing, also unexplored, where the flying saucers can, and most probably do originate."
In reference to the claims made by some flying saucer "contactees" that they were taken up on a flying saucer for a trip to Mars and other planets, Palmer says:
"We've read all the accounts of such voyages and nowhere, in any of them, can we find positive evidence that space was traversed: In all these accounts, we can see where the passengers could have been taken to this 'unknown land' discovered by Admiral Byrd, and if told they were on Mars, they would not know the difference.
"Provided an actual trip in a saucer was made, the pilots of the flying saucers could have simulated a space trip and instead took their passengers to `that mysterious land beyond the Pole,' as Admiral Byrd calls it.
In an article, "Saucers From Earth: A Challenge to Secrecy;," in the Dec. 1959 issue of "Flying Saucers," Palmer writes:
"Flying Saucers magazine has amassed a large file of evidence which its editors consider unassailable, to prove that the flying saucers are native to the planet Earth: that the governments of more than one nation know this to be a fact; that a concerted effort is being made to learn all about them, and to explore their native land; that the facts already known are considered so important that they are the world's top secret; that the danger is so great that to offer public proof is to risk widespread panic; that public knowledge would bring public demand for action, which would topple governments both helpless and unwilling to comply; that the inherent nature of the flying saucers and their origination area (in the earth's hollow interior, reached through the polar openings — Author) is completely disruptive to political and economic status-quo."
As against the theory that flying saucers were made by any existing government, Palmer says, "Flying saucers have been with humanity for centuries, if not thousands of years." Their antiquity, he says, " eliminates contemporary earth governments as the originators of the mysterious phenomenon.
After disproving that flying saucers come from any existing nation, Palmer attacks the theory of their interplanetary origin, whose chief proponent is the American flying saucer expert, Keyhoe, also some "contactees" who claim some flying saucers come from Mars, others from Venus, etc.
After showing that flying saucers do not come from any existing nation or from other planets, Palmer, America's greatest authority on flying saucers, concludes, in agreement with Commander Strauss and Huguenin, that they come from the earth's hollow interior through the polar opening.
He writes:
"In the opinion of the editors of `Flying Saucers,' this Polar origin of the flying saucers will now have to be factually disproved. Any denial must be accompanied with positive proof. `Flying Saucers' suggests that such proof cannot be provided.
"`Flying Saucers' takes the stand that all flying saucer groups should study the matter from the hollow earth viewpoint, amass all confirmatory evidence available in the last two centuries, and search diligently for any contrary evidence.
"Now that we have tracked the flying saucers to the most logical origin (the one we have consistently insisted must exist because of the insurmountable obstacles of interstellar origin, which demands factors beyond our imagination), that the flying saucers come from our own Earth, it must be proved or disproved, one way or the other.
"Why? Because if the interior of the Earth is populated by a highly scientific and advanced race, we must make profitable contact with them; and if they are mighty in their science, which includes the science of war, we must not make enemies of them; and if it is the intent of our governments to regard the interior of the Earth as 'virgin territory,' and comparable to the `Indian Territory' of North America when the settlers came over to take it away from its rightful owners, it is right for the people to know that intent, and to express their desire in the matter.
"The flying saucer has become the most important single fact in history. The answer to the questions raised in this article are to be answered. Admiral Byrd has discovered a new and mysterious land, the `center of the great unknown,' and the most important discovery of all time.
"We have it from his own lips, from a man whose integrity has always been unimpeachable, and whose mind was one of the most brilliant of modern times.
"Let those who wish to call him a liar step forward and prove their claim: Flying saucers come from this Earth:"
So ends Ray Palmer's great article, "Flying Saucers From the Earth," which created a sensation, causing certain government secret agencies to confiscate the magazine and stop its distribution, so that it did not reach its 5000 subscribers.
Why? Obviously because the government was convinced that such an unclaimed, unknown territory, vast in extent, larger than the entire land surface of the earth, exists and wished its existence to be kept secret, so that no other nation would know about it or reach it before and claim this territory as its own.
It was important that the Russians do not learn about it. For this reason it was decided to suppress this issue of "Flying Saucers" of December, 1959, which was mysteriously removed from circulation.
Evidently the information contained in this magazine concerning the fact that flying saucers come from the earth's hollow interior through the polar openings, like news concerning Admiral Byrd's flights past the Poles into the new unknown territory beyond them, was considered dangerous to be released to the public and was consequently secretly suppressed by government authorities.
Another outstanding American authority on flying saucers is Gray Barker. A month after Palmer published his sensational article expressing his belief that flying saucers do not come from outer space but from the earth's interior, Barker, in his "The Saucerian Bulletin," on January 15, 1960, wrote:
"Many occult students, long before flying saucers became widely known about, believed that people lived inside the earth, emerging and entering through secret openings at the North and South Poles.
"Palmer presented only the first of his evidences in the December 1959 issue. It consisted of a review of newspaper and radio accounts of Admiral Richard E. Byrd's flight to the North Pole in 1947.
"In February of that year, Byrd took off from an Arctic base and headed straight north to the Pole. Then Byrd kept flying north, beyond the Pole, and was amazed to discover iceless lands and lakes, mountains covered with trees, and even a monstrous animal moving through the underbrush below: For almost 1700 miles the plane flew over land, mountains, trees, lakes and rivers.
"After flying 1700 miles, he was forced to turn back because of his gasoline supply limit for the return trip. So he retraced the flight back to the Arctic base. Not much was thought about the unusual flight at the time.
"Palmer then instructs the reader to look at the globe. According to Byrd's reported flight, he shouldn't have seen anything but ice-covered ocean or partially open water. Yet Byrd saw trees and other greenery. According to the globe, such a land just isn't there.
"Palmer next discusses similar geographical discrepancies at the South Pole, and then draws the amazing conclusion: `The Earth is not spherical. Instead it is something like a though perhaps not so flattened.
"At each pole there is a huge opening, so large that when one travels "beyond" the Pole, he actually enters the lip of the hole of the doughnut-shaped earth. If he traveled far enough he would travel through the 'hole' of the 'doughnut' and emerge at the other Pole.
"Palmer further suggests that people live on the `inside' of the earth, and that such people emerge from the Poles in flying saucers. He promises to present the remainder of the proofs later, but in the present issue of 'Flying Saucer," his case boils down to these main points:
"(1) Measurements of areas at the North and South Poles are larger than you can find room for on a map or globe, leading to the assumption that such areas extend down into the 'doughnut.
"(2) Some animals, particularly the musk-ox, migrate north in the wintertime, from the Arctic Circle. Foxes are found north of the 80th parallel, heading north, and appear well fed in a large area where there is no food available.
(They go north because it becomes warmer and there is plant and animal life as they enter the polar opening - Author.)
"(3) Arctic explorers agree it gets warmer as one heads north (after coming close enough to the North Pole).
"(4) In the Arctic, coniferous trees drift ashore, from out of the north. Butterflies and bees are found in the far north, but never hundreds of miles south of that point.
"(5) Remains of mammoths, perfectly preserved, were found in Siberia, with the sparse food of the sub-Arctic region in its stomach. Such food could not have supported the animal. It must have come from the `land beyond the Poles', Palmer postulates.
"(6) Trouble with satellites shot over the South Pole bears out the theory that land areas haven't been measured accurately or that 'somebody' has been interfering with them.
In this connection it is interesting to note that American newspapers, some time back, published a report of a mysterious artificial satellite discovered to encircle the earth in an orbit that passed directly over both Poles and which was sent by no known nation.
Did it emerge from one of the Poles and continue to rotate around its point of origin?
Gray Barker seems to agree with Palmer that flying saucers come from inside the earth; and in his editorial quoted above, he asks:
"What if there could be some unknown race, on some unexplored portion of the earth, which is responsible for the flying saucers? Palmer' s articles started me to thinking along that direction once again. THE INNER EARTH EXPLANATION WOULD FIT INTO MOST, IF NOT ALL THE FACETS OF THE FLYING SAUCER PICTURE.
"Various occult schools teach that polar entrances provide the doorways to cities of Agharta, the Subterranean World, such as Shamballah (the capital) and others. Let us accept, for a moment, that such a people has existed inside the earth for thousands of years, even before man - or maybe they seeded the outside with man.
"Maybe they have constantly watched over him, occasionally assisting him with technology, giving rise to what we now call `legends.'
"Maybe they built the Great Pyramid; maybe they are responsible for some of the 'miracles' reported in secular and religious histories. Until man, their protege, learned to be morally worthy, they would not wish to give him, suddenly, the knowledge of their existence or secrets of their technology.
"When man, however, invented the atomic bomb, the people of the inner earth were greatly concerned about it. Maybe they feared that contamination of the atmosphere would reach them; maybe they feared man could blow up the earth entirely.
"Halting or controlling man's propensity for destruction would be a delicate problem unless they would come out openly and inform him of their existence. They figured that they would eventually have to do so, and began a slow process of indoctrination, first merely letting him see the flying saucers fly around.
"Since men thought that flying saucers came from outer space, they pretended to be space people contacting him in their craft, and trying to indoctrinate him with peaceful philosophy (the majority of `space people' contacted having spoken strongly against the atomic bomb)."
In his book, "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers," Barker speaks of the "Antarctic Mystery" or the unusual number of flying saucers seen to ascend and descend in the region of the South Pole, which strongly supports the theory of a polar opening through which flying saucers emerge from and enter the hollow interior of the earth.
In this book he mentions an Australian and New Zealand investigator, named Bender and Jarrold respectively, who believed that flying saucers originate and are based in the Antarctic and tried to trace their course, when they were suddenly stopped in their research by 'three men in black,' who were secret government agents who apparently wished to suppress such research, just as publicity concerning Admiral Byrd's 2,300 mile flight to the new unknown territory not found on any map, that lies beyond the South Pole and inside the opening that leads to the earth's hollow interior, was suppressed in the press.
Theodore Fitch is another American writer who believes that flying saucers come from the hollow interior of the earth.
In his book, "Our Paradise Inside the Earth" he writes:
"Writers of books on flying saucers believe that they come from other planets. But how can that be? They are too far away. Traveling at terrific speeds it would take a lifetime to make the trip (especially from planets of other solar systems)."
Fitch claims, as does Palmer, that the "spacemen" who came to us in flying saucers, who pose to be visitors from other planets, are really members of an advanced civilization in the hollow interior of the earth, who have important reasons for keeping their true place of origin secret, for which reason they purposely foster the false belief that they come from other planets.
On this point, Fitch writes:
"They say that they come from other planets, but we doubt it. He considers this a white lie in order to prevent militaristic governments from learning that on the opposite side of the earth's crust there exists an advanced civilization whose scientific attainments far surpass our own, which is reached by the polar openings. In this way they protect themselves from molestation or possible war between subterranean and surface races."
Fitch agrees with Palmer that flying saucers are not "space ships," as Adamski claims, nor are their pilots "spacemen".
Rather they are vehicles for atmospheric travel which come from the hollow interior of the earth in which they fly, connecting each part of the concave subterranean world with the other.
As for the little brown men" seen in flying saucers, Fitch believes that they belong to the same subterranean race from which the Eskimos descended.
Fitch is in agreement with William Reed and Marshall B. Gardner that the ancestors of the Eskimos came from the hollow interior of the Earth through the polar opening.
Describing these little brown men, who are the pilots of the flying saucers, evidently serving a master race (Atlantean) which built them and sent them to us Fitch says:
"Though smaller than we, they are stronger. Their grip is like a vice. One of them could quickly overpower a strong man. Their bodies are perfect in build. Both men and women dress neatly.
"Though not beautiful, they are nice looking. Not one of them looks to be over 30 years old. They say that they do not expect to ever die.
"It would take a book to record the conversation that has taken place with the saucermen and women. Their speech is quick, sharp and right to the point. They seem to be very, very intelligent...
"They talk freely and answer all questions, but they lie about things they do not want us to know (refusing to reveal their true subterranean origin and pretending to come from other planets, as Mars and Venus).
"Here are a few brief statements or claims made by the little men and women who live inside the earth. They boast about their superior mentality and knowledge, and that they excel us in creative ability. They say they are far ahead of us from the standpoint of new inventions.
"For instance, they claim that their flying saucers are powered with `free energy' (meaning the electromagnetic energy of space, which is free and not like fuel used to supply our aircraft). They claim they obtain this `free energy' by exploding certain atoms by the action of the electromagnetic energy of space while in flight.
"They say they are thousands of years ahead of us in all of the arts, such as painting, sculpture and architectural designing.
"Also they are ahead of us in their domestic and business management, in their agricultural techniques, and that their beautiful landscapes, parks, flower gardens, orchards and farms vastly surpass our own. They claim that they are far ahead of us in their knowledge of nutrition and diet.
"They claim to live in luxury, yet have no class distinction and no poverty among them, nor need of police. They say that they know every language on earth.
"Fitch's description of this super civilization in the hollow interior of the earth reminds one of Bulwer Lytton's subterranean Utopia described in his book, "The Coming Race."
"Lytton was a Rosicrucian and probably had access to occult information along this line. He described a super race inside the earth which lived in a state of universal abundance and contentment, free from greed, poverty and war."
Fitch describes these people as living under an economic system by which they own all things in common, without private aggrandizement or hoarding, and without class distinctions of rich and poor, capitalist or worker.
Also they have an equitable system of distribution free from exploitation and usury; and there is no poverty among them, since all are on a basis of perfect equality through a system of common ownership. They have no private property and work together cooperatively for their mutual welfare.
Fitch writes:
"They say they know all the secrets of every government. They say they are of higher intelligence and authority. Since they are our superiors they have authority over us. They claim to be experts in mental telepathy. They claim they came from an antediluvian race (Lemurian and Atlantean).
"They say they know nothing at all about our Jesus, and say our Bible has been mistranslated, misinterpreted and misconstrued. They claim that they are a race which has not fallen as we have... They say we should get rid of nuclear bombs and armaments."

Planet X-Binary System Enters Earth’s Orbit (Video)
Planet X-Binary System Enters Earth’s Orbit (Video)
With rampant earth and climate events occurring on a global scale, mankind is facing trying times. The events that are unfoldng are the early signs of the tribulation that will occur on this planet, as the Earth enters into the orbit of the Planet X-binary star system.
The mainstream media and scientific institutions are working hard to avoid having the public see the “big picture” all at once, and are therefore consistently suppressing valuable scientific data and the evidence to substantiate the existence of a rogue planet system orbiting our solar system.
Berlin | A team of psychologists and medical doctors associated with the Technische Universität of Berlin, have announced this morning that they had proven by clinical experimentation, the existence of some form of life after death.
This astonishing announcement is based on the conclusions of a study using a new type of medically supervised near-death experiences, that allow patients to be clinically dead for almost 20 minutes before being brought back to life.
I KNOW OUR RESULTS COULD DISTURB THE BELIEFS OF MANY PEOPLE
This controversial process that was repeated on 944 volunteers over that last four years, necessitates a complex mixture of drugs including epinephrine and dimethyltryptamine, destined to allow the body to survive the state of clinical death and the reanimation process without damage.
The body of the subject was then put into a temporary comatic state induced by a mixture of other drugs which had to be filtered by ozone from his blood during the reanimation process 18 minutes later.
The extremely long duration of the experience was only recently made possible by the development of a new cardiopulmonary recitation (CPR) machine called the AutoPulse.
This type of equipment has already been used over the last few years, to reanimate people who had been dead for somewhere between 40 minutes to an hour.
Near-death experiences have been hypothesized in various medical journals in the past, as having the characteristics of hallucinations, but Dr Ackermann and his team, on the contrary, consider them as evidence for the existence of the afterlife and of a form of dualism between mind and body.
The team of scientists led by Dr Berthold Ackermann, has monitored the operations and have compiled the testimonies of the subjects.
Although there are some slight variations from one individual to another, all of the subjects have some memories of their period of clinical death. and a vast majority of them described some very similar sensations.
Most common memories include a feeling of detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of an overwhelming light.
The scientists say that they are well aware the many of their conclusions could shock a lot of people, like the fact that the religious beliefs of the various subjects seems to have held no incidence at all, on the sensations and experiences that they described at the end of the experiment.
Indeed, the volunteers counted in their ranks some members are a variety of Christian churches, Muslims, Jews, Hindus and atheists.
“I know our results could disturb the beliefs of many people” says Mr Ackermann.
“But in a way, we have just answered one of the greatest questions in the history of mankind, so I hope these people will be able to forgive us. Yes, there is life after death and it looks like this applies to everyone.”

Long Version Posted, too. At the end is another sighting story from my brothers place near San Jose State University. these are my 2 ufo stories. In 1987 I was riding my Moto-Morino 501 Camel dualsport on a very long desert vacation. Elevation at camp is 6000 ft… Richard F Haines (google him) saw the original video and has a copy. . (My old name “hypnotstcollector” is partly from a hypno-session with him and also from some Stanford experiments i took part in. it cant be done) I give the latitude and Longitude, google earth that and look at the area. No place like Utah.
Couple reports rural NY close encounter with two UFOs
Couple reports rural NY close encounter with two UFOs
A New York witness at Adams reported watching to “limousine-sized” black triangle UFOs that silently floated at the tree top level, according to testimony in Case 76388 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The reporting witness was a passenger in a vehicle driven by her boyfriend southbound along Route 11 between Watertown and Adams.
“At about 11:45-ish we saw lights on the road up ahead and the picture just didn’t make sense to us,” the witness stated.“At first it looked to me like maybe a fire truck up ahead or something, but the closer we got the less sense the image we were seeing made.”
Adams, NY, is about 14 miles southwest of Watertown, along Route 11. (Credit: Google)
The two continued in the direction of the object, coming up on it fast, within seconds.
“They were in fact closer to us than I thought, maybe a quarter-mile from where we first noticed the lights. We had to slow down fast or we would have driven right underneath and past them. My boyfriend came to a stop so these things were drifting across the road right in front of us. We were driving south on Route 11 so they were drifting across the road in a southwest direction, and right over the road in front of us. They turned around and drifted back the direction they had been coming from; northeast.”
The two got a good look at the objects.
“Because they turned around in front of us, we got to see just about every angle of these things except the top, so it was not an optical illusion and we could tell how close they were to each other and to us. We saw them up close, clearly, and in 3-D. It was dark, but there were street lights and our headlights and they had blinking lights, red and white only, the whole time we saw them.”
The two watched closely.
“I had turned off the heat and radio as we came upon them, and I immediately stuck my head right out the window for the best angle, and two things struck me right away. First; the silence. They made no noise that I could detect above the noise of our vehicle, which is not loud. Second; their proximity to each other. They were so close together I would think they would be bumping into each other. When they turned around I thought we were going to witness a crash. They were only a few feet from each other. And they never split up when they were in our sights, but they moved independently, not like they were attached.”
The witness and her boyfriend were southbound along Route 11 heading into Adams from Watertown. (Credit: Google)
The objects were large.
“The craft were about the size of limousines, lazily floating over the road not far above the telephone poles. They were both triangular, but they were not the same. One was a wider triangle, like you might picture a military drone or something, but the other one was a skinny, pointy triangle. Both had, I believe, red blinking lights in the front corner on the bottom, and white blinking lights on the side corners on the bottom. Besides being triangular in shape and the lights, they were completely featureless, at least from the bottom and sides. Just perfect triangles, no other angles or patterns at all. Just black.”
The witness had never seen anything like this before.
“Like even any drones I look up that belong to any military or even anything out of Popular Science, nothing I’ve seen is a perfect triangle like that. They all have some other angles, discernable wings, engines, something. They were both like that, exactly the same except for the shape of the triangle. We were so close that if there was any other detail to notice in their shape, we would have seen it. We should have been able to see detail, but it was just their outlines, the lights, and flat matte black.”
It was a clear night.
“There were stars out and they blocked their light, blocked the lighter color of the horizon behind them. There was no light reflecting off them, and there should have been. There were all these lights like I said, and not one glimmer of a reflection off any part of them. And the lights that came off them were bright but not blinding; there was no glare, even so close. And my eyes have a problem with glare and bright lights. But not these.”
The objects stopped and turned around.
“After they turned around and we just gawked for what seemed like minutes, but must have been seconds, a spotlight shown coming from the side of I think the skinny one, right off the tip of the wing or side corner of the triangle. It shown in our direction, but I think it shown over us, not right on us… and then they were drifting over the trees back in the direction they seemed to have come from.”
The witness told her boyfriend to hurry up and chase them and not to lose them.
“I kept my eyes on them and could see the lights through the trees, and directed my boyfriend where to go, but I lost them through the trees. I could see them and then they were just nowhere. My boyfriend took a route that should have cut them off, if they had continued their speed and direction, and we drove around with my head out the moon roof searching and finding hilltops to search the horizons, but nothing. They were gone.”
The couple had to stop their vehicle along Route 11 to avoid driving underneath the two UFOs. (Credit: Google)
The two then drove around looking for a police car, but could not find one.
“We finally gave up and went home and I think it was close to 1a.m. I was determined to alert authorities. I knew they wouldn’t exactly believe us, or do anything about it, but I just wanted it on record, wanted someone to know that happened, and I’m just so curious, and I was hoping that we wouldn’t be the only ones! I figured they would get more calls, more reports. I thought with them being right above the ground and apparently in no hurry, someone else around must have noticed something. It’s a rural area, but right smack in between Adams and Adams Center.”
The witness called Jefferson County Police, but the state troopers showed up first.
“The troopers said they would check around with Fort Drum and stuff and were nice, but obviously didn’t take it very seriously, which is the best I really expected. I’m just hoping something else turns up. I want some more news. Even if it isn’t extra-terrestrial drones or something, it still had to be some sort of secret technology or something that not many people have witnessed, and that’s still amazing to me.”
New York State Section Director John Lombardo and Chief Investigator Nicholas Voulgaris are investigating. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
BIZAR OBJECT ONTDEKT OP DE BODEM VAN STILLE OCEAAN
BIZAR OBJECT ONTDEKT OP DE BODEM VAN STILLE OCEAAN
Onder water vinden we veel dingen waarvan wij aan de oppervlakte meestal geen flauw benul hebben dat ze überhaupt bestaan.
Zo is er nu iemand die een vreemd en naar het lijkt bewegend object heeft ontdekt op de bodem van de oceaan van enkele kilometers lang dat een spoor achterlaat op de bodem.
Soms is Google heel nuttig, zeker op het gebied van kaarten. Vaak vind je op Google Maps of Earth de meest interessante zaken als ze tenminste niet zijn geblurred (wazig gemaakt) door de zoekmachine.
Zoals iemand dat onlangs deed met een stuk van de bodem van de Stille Oceaan, ten westen van de Amerikaanse kust en een beetje in de richting van Alaska.
Op de kaarten van Google zie je een vreemd cirkelvormig object dat er uitziet als een ronde UFO en een duidelijk spoor achterlaat op de bodem.
Wat je ziet op de afbeelding is niet bepaald een klein object. De doorsnee van de cirkel is groter van vier kilometer.
Je ziet een soort kronkelig spoor achter het object en wanneer je de volgende video bekijkt, zie je nog meer vreemde constructies op de bodem van de oceaan.
Het is natuurlijk ook niet voor niets dat wij al langer schrijven over een buitenaardse basis voor de kust van Californië en dat daar heel regelmatig vreemde ruimteschepen worden waargenomen.

Huge UFO in the sky photographed by two men 1500 miles apart! May 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Below has added contrast to make the UFO easier to see.
Date of sighting: May 2016 Location of sighting: Northern Indiana, USA This is a great video where the eyewitness MrMBB33 of Youtube gives an excellent account of two UFO sightings that are 1,500 miles apart, but describing the same object. The object do appear to be the same in all aspects. If you have seen this UFO please let us know in the comments below please. There are many US agencies that are trying to keep UFO sighting reports silent and out of the ears of the public and they even hire bloggers to troll UFO sites with cruel and mean comments. Don't believe their tactics. UFOs are real. They do exist everywhere on Earth. Fight the gov by sharing this information on Twitter, Facebook or other sharing sites. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: I saw reported this 'thing' in the sky to you guys and the following day a gentleman from Northern Indiana saw and photographed the same object in the sky approximately 20 minutes after I witnessed it. His visual was identical to mine. Large structure traveling to the NE appearing to be in orbit on the left side of the moon at the 10 O'clock position moving through the sky in broad daylight! Typically, space debris is not visible nor photogenic from the ground unless it is reentering the atmosphere at mind boggling speeds putting on a firework show. this did not. In the camera, it did look like a structure, but not the ISS. Original e-mail from the witness in Indiana below: "The reason I even took the shot was it appeared to look like a cigar shape object moving through the sky and I was like OMG...out of several shots this was the only photo with something in it. Thx for responding to me I watch every post u make from the hydra post on. My name is Mike I live in Northern Indiana near South Bend." This is his e-mail to me with the photograph I showed you in the video.
Black UFO Moving Slowly Over East London May 19 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Black UFO Moving Slowly Over East London May 19 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 19, 2016 Location of sighting: East London, England This UFO was seen over England last week and as it passes in front of a cloud the blackness of its color stands out. The UFO is turning slowly as it moves and this is why its shape changes every few seconds. London is a hotspot of UFO activity so this comes a no surprise. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Streetcap1 of Youtube found this UFO that looks similar to the UFOs seen in the Tether Incident long ago. It also has many similarities to the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars. So many UFOs and structures in NASA photos, and NASA still refuses to acknowledge or even investigate any of them. Many NASA scientist have said in the past that NASA tries to live by the motto, "for the benefit of all." But honestly I just don't see it. They are doing whats best for them and the US military. What the public wants, and what we ask them to investigate has hit deaf ears at NASA. Excellent find by Streetcap1. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Aliens live among us in order to save the planet from us, says the head of the world’s biggest UFO archive The military trusts him and he is officially supported by the Swedish government: Swedish UFO-researcher Håkan Blomqvist founded together with friends the Archive for UFO Research in 1973. Nowadays, his library in the city of Norrköping contains more than 20.000 books, many thousands of documents from around the world and is considered the world’s biggest UFO archive. Besides of numerous UFO sightings reports which the Swedish military sends him regularly, this archive also contains documentation about cases that Blomqvist has investigated himself – among them are some of the most amazing cases of direct ET contact in Scandinavia. Blomqvist is well aware that such witness reports can hardly be proven. However, some of the cases suggest that ETs do in fact live among us – in order to observe us and to intervene in case the planet is in danger….
Conspiracy Theorists Claim UFO Prevents Huge Impact Of A Meteor To Earth
Conspiracy Theorists Claim UFO Prevents Huge Impact Of A Meteor To Earth
Friendly aliens might have just saved the Earth from a destructive meteor strike, claimed conspiracy theorists.
The theory surfaced after a released footage showed a fireball exploding in the skies of Maine, New England in the U.S.
The natural phenomena show an apparent second, smaller object entering the atmosphere of the Earth during the incident on Tuesday.
The presence of a second object was confirmed by the American Meteor Society (AMS) but said that it was just a smaller meteor fragment as it broke up in Earth’s atmosphere.
Despite the AMS explanation, most diehard alien chasers still thought an alien craft was dispatched to destroy the meteor, which believed to prevent an impact.
The theory further claimed that galactic patrols might be looking over humanity as these space beings know that people on Earth still don’t have the technology to deal with comet strikes or asteroid, which could wipe out the entire planet.
The fireball was witnessed over Canada, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Vermont, New Jersey, and New Hampshire.
YouTube channel Nemesis Maturity uploaded the video that showed two objects – one seemingly followed the other.
The second, smaller object seemed to strike the bigger one prior to a big explosion.
The video was from a security camera installed at Burlington International Airport in South Burlington, Vermont.

The Large Hadron Collider is the most complex machine ever built by humankind and it is probing into deep quantum unknown, revealing never-before-seen detail in the matter and forces that underpin the foundations of our universe. In its most basic sense, the LHC is a time machine; with each relativistic proton-on-proton collision, the particle accelerator is revealing energy densities and states of matter that haven't existed in our universe since the moment after the Big Bang, nearly 14 billion years ago.
The collider, which is managed by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is located near Geneva, Switzerland.
With the countless billions of collisions between ions inside the LHC's detectors comes a firehose of data that needs to be recorded, deciphered and stored. Since the 27 kilometer (17 mile) circumference ring of supercooled electromagnets started smashing protons together once more after its winter break, LHC scientists are expecting a lot more data this year than what the experiment produced in 2015.
"The LHC is running extremely well," said CERN Director for Accelerators and Technology Frédérick Bordry in a statement. "We now have an ambitious goal for 2016, as we plan to deliver around six times more data than in 2015."
And this data will contain ever more detailed information about the elusive Higgs boson that was discovered in 2012 and possibly even details of "new" or "exotic" physics that physicists could spend decades trying to understand. Key to the LHC's aims is to attempt to understand what dark matter is and why the universe is composed of matter and not antimatter.
In fact, there was already a buzz surrounding an unexpected signal that was recorded in 2015 that could represent something amazing, but as is the mantra of any scientist: more data is needed. And it looks like LHC physicists are about to be flooded with the stuff.
Central to the LHC's recent upgrades is the sheer density of accelerated "beams" of protons that are accelerated to close to the speed of light. The more concentrated or focused the beams, the more collisions can be achieved. More collisions means more data and the more likelihood of revealing new and exciting things about our universe. This year, LHC engineers hope to magnetically squeeze the beams of protons when they collide inside the detectors, generating up to one billion proton collisions per second.
Add these advances in extreme beam control with the fact the LHC will be running at a record-breaking collision energy of 13 TeV and we have the unprecedented opportunity to make some groundbreaking discoveries.
"In 2015, we opened the doors to a completely new landscape with unprecedented energy. Now we can begin to explore this landscape in depth," said CERN Director for Research and Computing, Eckhard Elsen.
The current plan is to continue proton-proton collisions for six months and then carry out a four-week run using much heavier lead ions.
So the message is clear: Hold onto your hats. We're in for an incredible year of discovery that could confirm or deny certain models of our universe and revel something completely unexpected and, possibly, something very exotic.
The shocking theory emerged after the release of footage of a fireball exploding in the skies above Maine, New England, USA
Clips of the natural phenomena show what appears to be a second, smaller object entering the Earth's atmosphere during the event on Tuesday.
The American Meteor Society (AMS) has since confirmed a second object was present, but says it was just a smaller fragment of the meteor as it broke up in our atmosphere.
However, the seemingly satisfactory explanation, has done nothing to dampen speculation from die hard alien chasers looking for evidence of extra terrestrial visitations.
The most popular theory is it was an alien craft dispatched to destroy the meteor to prevent an impact.

The meteor was caught on webcam entering Earth's atmosphere
It also claims there could even be galactic patrols looking over us as they know we do not yet have the technology to deal with asteroid or comet strikes which could potentially wipe out life on the planet.
At the time, most eyewitnesses saw only one object enter the atmosphere, steak across the skies and then burn up.
The AMS had more than 700 reports from witnesses with the fireball also seen over New Hampshire, New Jersey, Vermont, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, and in Canada.

Nemesis Maturity explains the crazy theory in its YouTube video
What a bunch of b*lls**t, that was just a fragment of the rock that disintegrated during entry. The ‘extraterrestrials’ are very far away and have better things to do.
Online poster
YouTube channel Nemesis Maturity, which regularly features conspiracy theories, uploaded a video showing two objects arrived, one appearing to follow the other.
The second, smaller object, then appeared to strike the bigger one before a huge explosion.
The footage was taken from a security camera at Burlington International Airport, South Burlington, Vermont and uploaded by AMS.
According to Nemesis Maturity, UFO researchers analysed the footage, before taking the leap that the second object could have been an alien UFO that shot down the speeding meteor.
People feared a major earthquake or volcano eruption when they were frightened out of bed on Saturday.
The boom was strong enough to shake windows in Puebla de Zaragoza, Mexico.
Thousands of city’s 3 million inhabitants were woken by the mystery phenomena.
They feared a major earthquake had struck , or the monster Popocatepetl volcano had blown its top, but officials quickly ruled out these theories as no seismic activity was registered.
It was really strong. Windows were shaking. We thought it was an earthquake, but it wasn't. There was a sound like an explosion. We were truly terrified.
Alvaro Morales
Frightened local resident, Emma Chavez said: "It was horrible, we thought it was the volcano, but it wasn't.
"There was a light that shone for a couple of seconds like it was daytime and then there was tremendous thunder."
Alvaro Morales, said: "It was really strong. Windows were shaking. We thought it was an earthquake, but it wasn't. There was a sound like an explosion. We were truly terrified."
One theory, put forward by a locally-based astronomic society was it was an exploding meteor above the city just 30 miles from the capital Mexico City.
The society tweeted that if a space rock had burned up in the atmosphere, there would be nothing to see afterwards and no impact detected.
Residents said a being exited a UFO and climbed a tree
The mystery humanoid was allegedly seen climbing through trees, then jumped back on board the object when it had been seen.
Three students claim to have seen the entity circling Argentine city Santa Cruz before making the dramatic landing, according to local TV news.
A report on Notivision said locals who claimed to have been the UFO said "an extraterrestrial creature descended from its 'craft', before making attempts to get back on board when it was seen".
A TV news reporter for Notivision said: "Three students were witnesses to the sighting from EL Dorado as they returned home from school.

Turkish Airlines pilots saw a UFO on day of MS804 crash
Turkish Airlines pilots said an unidentified object with green lights passed above their plane on Thursday, the day of the loss of the flight from Paris to Cairo.
The bizarre sighting was just around 350 miles from the last recorded radar observation of the MS804 flight above the Mediterranean.
According to local reports the two pilots reported the inexplicable sighting to the Air Traffic Control Centre at Atatürk Airport, Istanbul.
The pair reportedly said: “An unidentified object with green lights passed 2 to 3,000 feet above us.
“Then it disappeared all of a sudden. We are guessing that it was a UFO.”

Turkish Airline pilots
The plane was flying at around 17,000 feet above Istanbul’s Silivri district, during an internal flight from the western Turkish resort town of Bodrum to Istanbul, when they saw the strange craft.
The plane landed at Atatürk Airport around 30 minutes later at just before midnight.
An investigation was launched by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority, but confirmed that strangely, it did not find any object in its radars that could be what the pilots described seeing.
The EgyptAir Airbus A320 vanished from radar with 66 people on board in the early hours of Thursday, meaning the Turkish sighting was several hours later.

Turkse piloten zien UFO met groene lichten op dezelfde dag dat EgyptAir-vlucht crasht
Turkse piloten zien UFO met groene lichten op dezelfde dag dat EgyptAir-vlucht crasht
Turkse piloten hebben donderdag een onbekend vliegend object met groene lichten boven hun vliegtuig gezien. Op dezelfde dag crashte vlucht MS804 van EgyptAir. Dat schrijven diverse media.
De twee piloten maakten bij de luchtverkeerstoren van de luchthaven Istanbul Atatürk melding van de UFO, meldde de lokale website Haberler. “Zo’n 2 tot 3000 voet boven ons passeerde een ongeïdentificeerd object met groene lichten,” zeiden de piloten, toevoegende dat het plotseling verdween. “We vermoeden dat het een UFO was.”
Niet op de radar
De krant Hurriyet Daily schrijft dat de piloten de UFO zagen in de buurt van het Turkse district Silivri in de provincie Istanbul. De piloten zeiden ook dat ze de UFO zagen toen het vliegtuig op ruim 5000 meter hoogte vloog. Het vliegtuig landde 30 minuten na de waarneming. De luchtvaartautoriteiten zagen het object niet op de radar verschijnen.
Het is niet voor het eerst dat piloten melding maken van een UFO. In 2015 zei Andy Danziger, oud-piloot van president Obama, dat veel piloten UFO’s hebben gezien en dat ‘vrijwel alle piloten in UFO’s geloven’.
Exacte oorzaak
Egypte heeft een onderzeeër gestuurd naar het gebied waar vlucht MS804 van EgyptAir is neergestort. Volgens de Egyptische president moet het vaartuig op zoek naar de zwarte dozen van de Airbus A320.
Volgens president Sisi kan het nog wel even duren voordat de exacte oorzaak van de crash bekend is. Hij houdt met alle scenario’s rekening. Het toestel verdween donderdag van de radar en was op weg van Parijs naar Caïro. Aan boord waren 66 mensen.

A Man In Washington Reports Military Helicopter Escorting A UFO
A Man In Washington Reports Military Helicopter Escorting A UFO
A military helicopter reportedly escorted a cigar-shaped UFO near to ground level, according to a witness at Battle Ground in Washington.
The incident that happened at 11:20 p.m. on March 21, 2016, was reported to MUFON the following day and can be accessed in Case 75344 from the organization’s witness reporting database.
The reporting witness was in the backyard and heard a sound of an incoming flying object, presumably a Chinook helicopter, nearby. It flew close to the ground as it passed into view. Ahead of it was an apparent dark moving craft, according to the witness.
Though the witness admitted that observing both was very short, he could make out a cigar shape of the UFO, which made no sound at all. It appeared to the witness that the helicopter flying close to it was an escort of the mysterious, silent aerial thing.
The witness thinks there has been UFO activity for many years in the area. The witness claimed that he has prior reports from the place and also haven’t mentioned other unusual sightings in the area. He suggested that UFO watchers should visit Battle Ground, Washington.
Washington Assistant State Director AletaDeBee investigated the case and closed it as unknown.
In her report, DeBee wrote that the UFO and military aircraft were about the same size, speed, and altitude – 2 to 300 feet off the ground. The known aerial object could be a Chinook helicopter as it had two props, DeBee added.
The UFO was in front of the chopper and not slung underneath, but moved as fast as the aircraft without making any sound and was not lighted. The investigator concluded that this was unknown but did not rule out the fact that this could be a military vehicle not known to her at this time.

UFOs - Documenting The Evidence
Don't Just Believe Me, But Do Look At The Evidence. By Paul Dean. Contact: pj_dean@hotmail.com
NORAD And The UFO Smokescreen - Part 1
About a year ago, I took the plunge and begun the near-impossible task of ascertaining what role joint US/Canadian North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) has maintained regarding the UFO matter. Sure enough, just as I had suspected, there is a paper trail dating back decades, and much of it makes for rather awkward reading. Furthermore, I have been working with David Charmichael, a brilliant British citizen who has been aggressively asking NORAD, and its parent agency Northern Command (NORTHCOM), one of ten Unified Combatant Commands organised directly under the Secretary of Defence and Joint Chiefs of Staff, for some honest answers regarding the oddities they track on vast radar systems, and other UFO-related matters. Together he and I have discovered much.
For those that don’t know, NORAD, as its current Fact Sheet states, is: “...charged with the missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America. Aerospace warning includes the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands. Aerospace control includes ensuring air sovereignty and air defence of the airspace of Canada and the United States.”.
Put simply, NORAD uses myriad primary and secondary radars to build up an integrated, recognised air and aerospace picture, even out into sub-space, of what is flying around about the USA and Canada. NORAD has generally maintained that the only “UFOs” they detect and track are simply strayed aircraft, hostile formations of Russian combat aircraft and such. NORAD do not have any interest, or, any knowledge, of our sort of “UFO” events. Unfortunately for NORAD, however, if one goes by what the contents of their own declassified paperwork says, the overwhelming evidence is that they have not been honest, and this dishonesty has been going on since the 1950’s. But first, let’s see what official concoctions NORAD has come up with over the long years. The Official Stance In a reply letter dated 10th November, 1975, Colonel Terrence C. James, NORAD Headquarters, Ent Air Force Base, to researcher Robert Todd, it was stated: “…this command has no present activity in investigating UFOs, nor does any area of the United States government that I’m aware of.” Another letter from NORAD HQ, dated 28th, November, 1975, also to Robert Todd, said: “We do not undertake investigative measures… …our interests are satisfied in near real time, and no formal documentation is created by this command.” In a 19 December 1995 letter to researcher Dr. Armen Victorian, NORAD’s Directorate of Information clarified their terminology, while distancing themselves, as one would expect, from the core UFO issue: “Historically, the term UFO was used by the Air Force starting in 1947 and ending in 1969 with the shelving of the Project Blue Book. We all know what the term UFO means, we just don’t use it... …The specific term “UFO” is not used by this command even though you could say that this term would equate to Unknown Track Report: either an Uncorrelated Event or an Unknown Track, since an unidentified flying object could be considered either.” These official statements may sound legitimate at face value, but, in fact, they fly in the face of various documents begrudgingly released by the US military over five long decades.
For Restricted Readership Since 1954, the “Joint Army Navy Air Force Protocol 146” (JANAP 146) procedures, promulgated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have issued a series of “Communications Instructions for Vital Intelligence Sightings”, more commonly referred to as simply “CIRVIS”. The timely reporting of UFO’s by militaryand civilian pilots, as well as other professionals, is clearly laid down in these CIRVIS procedures, and, first on the addressing distribution list is none other than the Commander-in-Chief, NORAD (CINCNORAD). For example, the February 1959 version of JANAP CIRVIS procedures, published as JANAP 146(D), states, in part, under the “Information to be Reported and When to Report” section on Page 8: (1) While airborne and from land based observers.
(a) Hostile or unidentified single aircraft or formations of aircraft which appear to be directed against the United States or Canada or their forces.
(b) Missiles.
(c) Unidentified flying objects.
(d) Hostile or unidentified submarines.
(e) Hostile or unidentified group or groups of military surface vessels…”
(f) Individual surface vessels, submarines, or aircraft of unconventional design, or engaged in suspicious activity or observed in a location or on a course which may be interpreted as constituting a threat to the United States, Canada or their forces.
(g) Any unexplained or unusual activity which may indicate a possible attack against or through Canada or the United States, including the presence of any unidentified or other suspicious ground parties in the Polar Region or other remote or sparsely populated areas.” Note, that “Unidentified Flying Objects” is listed as distinct from single aircraft, formations of aircraft, missiles, etc. Below is an image of this page from JANAP 146(D) CIRVIS.
Of even more interest are these two procedural statements, on Page 12:
“c. A post-landing report is desired immediately after landing by CINCNORAD or RCAF-ADC to amplify the airborne report(s).” And, “(1) Post-landing reports should be addressed to CINCNORAD, Ent AFB, Colorado Springs, Colorado, or, RCAF-ADC, St. Hubert, Quebec…” CINCNORAD is merely Commander-in-Chief, NORAD, and, RCAF-ADC is Royal Canadian Air Force, Air Defence Command. Below is an image of the page.
Thus it is established that NORAD, even so long ago, was very much concerning itself with serious UFO sightings made by US or Canadian forces, and any claims to the contrary are absolute nonsense. Now, I can already hear the “But, that was in 1959! What about something current?!”. The 2008 “Air Force Instruction 10-206 Operational Reporting” instruction contains the second most current CIRVIS sightings procedures, which still include “Unidentified Flying Objects” as separate from aircraft, missiles, etc. On Page 36, it is stated, with regards to the addressee of such “vital” reports: “5.3. Submitted To: 5.3.1. Airborne reports: US, Canadian military, or civilian communications facility. 5.3.2. Post-landing reports: Commander, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), Cheyenne Mt, Colorado, or HQ Northern NORAD Region, North Bay, Ontario, Canada, whichever is more convenient. If landing outside Canadian or US territories, submit reports through the nearest Canadian military or diplomatic representative or US.” So much for NORAD not being in the US military’s “UFO loop”.
“Unknown Objects” It isn’t just the above mentioned CIRVIS procedures which raise questions. NORAD’s Operational Instruction Index 0-2, coded “RCCOI 0-2” and dated 7th of March, 1978, inventories a number of instructional publications vital to the overall mission success of NORAD Regional and Sector Operations Centers. Page 2 of the index lists a 9th of May, 1977 instruction titled “Possible Unknowns, Unknowns, Special Tracks and Unknown Objects Actions”. The Below the list is imaged.
There a numerous such NORAD indexes that contain references to classified publications., and through diligent research, some of these publications have been released. The above mentioned instruction, coded 55-8, contains a section, on Page 6, titled “Unknown Objects”, and states, on part: “...Unknown object reporting will be accomplished using the same procedures as for Unknown Track reporting. NORAD Form 61 will be used even though such observations may not result in track establishment.”
This makes very clear that “unknown objects” are of concern to NORAD, despite what the United States government has ceaselessly said to the public. The page in question is imaged below.
While these procedural and instructional records are significant, there is far more material which catches NORAD out red-handed being involved with localized and serious UFO events. In my next post, Part 2 of this series, I will be highlighting such material which provides ample evidence that NORAD know far more about the UFO issue than they are prepared to discuss.

UFOs - Documenting The Evidence
Don't Just Believe Me, But Do Look At The Evidence. By Paul Dean. Contact: pj_dean@hotmail.com
NORAD And The UFO Smokescreen - PART 2
Continuing on from my Part 1 of my series, titled “NORAD And The UFO Smokescreen” I will carry on presenting evidence, in the form of declassified documents, that the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) has been heavily involved in significant, inexplicable and unexplainable UFO events since its formation in 1957. Even when given the opportunity to disclose UFO case and study records to the flawed the University of Colorado’s “UFO Study” (the US Air Force’s final word on the UFO matter in 1969), NORAD managed to stay nearly silent on the matter despite evidence they were sitting on vital, even startling information. I am not attempting here to analysis the actual cases as such. This would not be the appropriate platform to do so, and, much work has been done of these events already. What I am attempting to do is prove NORAD, like so many other agencies, have not been truthful, which is getting seemingly easier every day.
“Unidentified Flying Objects” Take, for example, a 10th of April, 1964 information relay message found in the US Air Force’s (USAF) Project Blue Book records. The document highlights and summarises the contents of previous information moving around US Air Force Headquarters (USAF/HQ), USAF Air Staff, and the National Military Command Center (NMCC). In the subject line there are three very familiar words: “Unidentified Flying Objects”. Under this, two pieces of sectioned information state: “NMCC, NORAD advised that there were 6 to 12 unidentified flying objects at 30 miles East of Merced, California. Radar picked up 12 objects at altitudes 60,000 ft., 90,000 ft., and higher elevations. F-106’s were scrambled at Castle Air Force Base. There were no results because of high altitudes. They are checking the possibility of sending U-2’s.” And, “Objects were following a 60 mile race-track pattern. F-106’s were flying a 90,000 ft. altitude.Pilots locked on to some of the objects but could not keep the lock. NORAD said they were sending 2 more XXXXX aircraft with pilots in pressure suits.”
The case was later dismissed by the USAF as one mere weather balloon. Whether that conclusion is accurate has been debated ad nauseam, but for the purposes of my study it is interesting to note that NORAD is mentioned not once, but twice, in the message text. Specifically, “NMCC, NORAD advised that there were 6 to 12 unidentified flying objects...”and “NORAD said they were sending 2 more XXXXX aircraft with pilots in pressure suits.”. So, for NORAD to state – as they did throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s – that they had no interest or “records held” relating to unidentified flying objects is clearly deceptive. Below is an image of this record.
Another record, dated September 10, 1972, and sent from 22 NORAD Region Headquarters, (22NRHQ) North Bay, Ontario, Canada to both the Canadian Forces Headquarters (CFHQ) and the National Research Council (NRC) is an unclassified telex discovered in the Canadian Archives, along with dozens of others like it. It details an object seen visually, and, tracked on radar by two tower operators at North Bay Airport, which is connected to Canada’s NORAD Operations Headquarters. Described visually as “one object flashing red and green lights, speed very slow to 300 knots at 4000 to 6000 feet estimated”, the report then gives the following further description: “Visual sighting correlated with a North Bay terminal radar return at 340 degrees, six miles. Object appeared to turn in tight circles or hover for approx. 15 minutes and then lose altitude steadily with flashing lights becoming dimmer until visual contact lost at 0345Z. Radar contact lost prior to visual contact.” Below is an image of the telex.
Aside from the obvious fact that NORAD, again, is mentioned in what can only be described assome sort of UFO event, two interesting issues are raised here. Firstly, the message reads “UNLCAS” in the security classification line – meaning “unclassified”. In other words, the contents of the message are not security or intelligence sensitive. From this, one can’t help but wonder what sort of material is held in NORAD records which are classified. Apparently there are many. Secondly, it is interesting to note that the telex was sent from NORAD, not to NORAD – further rubbishing the assertions that they have not one scrap of interest in odd aerial incidents.
In another Canadian telex, again sent from 22NRHQ to the CFHQ and NRC, dated 4th July, 1972, states that Captain Sorefleet and Captain Drury, stationed at Canadian Forces Base Bagotville, Quebec, reported one “white oval” while flying in a fighter jet at 35,000 feet. The description indicates a“small red tail”. This, of course, could be a meteor sighting. However, the telex finally states “observed for 2 minutes about 40 miles”. Whatever the object was, it was clearly unidentifiable enough that the pilots wished to report it, and NORAD was part of that process.
The page is imaged below.
These events occurred in 1972, only 2 years after the Secretary of the USAF famously claimed that no US military agency, which includes NORAD, will continue the reporting, or receiving of reports, of UFO events, and, that: “No UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security.” But did the US Department of Defence – especially the commands dealing with air defence and air warfare – really accept this? Do we have any evidence that the above statement is complete rubbish barely fit for the trash bin?
Who’s Got Their Stories Straight At Air Force Headquarters This Week? In 1979, research Robert Todd had the USAF release some of the documents related to the closure of Project Blue Book – the USAF’s 17 year study (one of three such study’s) into the UFO phenomenon. One of the documents was a 20th October, 1969 memo known as the “Bolender Memo”. Signed by Brigadier General Carrol H. Bolender, Deputy Director of Development, USAF, the second page of the memo contains two passages which depart radically from the USAF’s above mentioned statement that no UFO event reported or investigated was a threat to national security. Those passages are: “Moreover, reports of unidentified flying objects which could affect national security are made in accordance with JANAP 146 or Air Force Manual 55-11, and are not part of the Blue Book system.” And, “However, as already stated, reports of UFOs which could affect national security would continue to be handled through the standard Air Force procedures designed for this purpose.” Below is an image of the page in question.
The Bolender Memo, quite simply, admits that some UFO reports can, and do affect national security. This flies in the face of what the public were being told. Also, the memo indicates that Project Blue Book was never supposed to receive the most alarming, security-vital UFO reports, and, specifically, such reports were being made using the “Joint Army Navy Air Force Protocol 146(E)”(JANAP 146E) system or “Air Force Manual 55-11” (AFM 55-11). In fact, at this time Project Blue Book, and the University of Colorado’s flawed “UFO Study”, was only receiving reports filed using “Air Force Regulation 80-17” (AFR 80-17). This raises awkward questions. For example, if Project Blue Book staff were not getting a chance to evaluate the most sensitive UFO reports submitted by USAF airmen and other military professionals, then who was? As I highlighted in my Part 1 of this series, the USAF and NORAD were in fact at the receiving end of UFO reports made using JANAP 146E’s “Communication Instructions for Vital Intelligence Sightings” (CIRVIS) procedures. UFO reports made using AFM 55-11, using the “Air Force Operational Reporting System” (AFOREP), were likely occurring too. America’s political leaders have not been told about all this, even when they have asked specific questions. In a reply letter to Senator Patty Murray, dated August 25, 1993, Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Shubert, USAF, stated: “As information, the Air force began investigating UFOs in 1948 under a program called Project Sign. Later, the program's name was changed to Project Grudge and, in 1953, it became known as Project Blue Book. On December 17, 1969, the Secretary of the Air Force announced the termination of Project Blue Book... ...As a result of these investigations, studies, and experience, the conclusions of Project Blue book were: 1) no UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security…” Again, compare this with the contents of the Bolender Memo: “…reports of unidentified flying objects which could affect national security are made in accordance with JANAP 146 or Air Force Manual 55-11, and are not part of the Blue Book system.”.Since the public and Congress did not, and do not, know about this JANAP 146 and AFM 55-11 business, the impression can be easily given, as it was to Senator Murray, that the USAF had then, and have now, no reason to take whatsoever the UFO matter seriously. Below is an image of the USAF letter to Patty Murray.
The above examples are only a handful of quite contradictory pieces of information that have managed to find their way out of NORAD, and the wider US military. I have countless more on file. Thousands. Why are we consistently finding that the press, the public, and even politicians were, and still are now, told one thing, but, in classified documents, meant for very restricted readership, the exact opposite is stated? Recently, retired USAF Colonel Charles Halt, who was Deputy Base Commander of the Bentwaters Air Force Base during the famous Rendlesham Forest event, stated: “I’ve heard many people say that it’s time for the government to appoint an agency to investigate. Folks, there is an agency, a very close-held, compartmentalized agency that’s been investigating this for years, and there’s a very active role played by many of our intelligence agencies that probably don’t even know the details of what happens once they collect the data and forward it. It’s kind of scary, isn’t it?” Should we brush these sort of comments aside? Maybe not. He may just be confirming what government documents have been telling us all along.

NORAD And The UFO Smokescreen - Part 3
This blogpost is the third in a series which aims to link, through official and documented record, the UFO matter with the huge North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD). For over 50 years, NORAD’s stance on so-called “UFOs” – and I don’t mean merely stray aircraft – is that they know nothing, see nothing and hold nothing on record. However, myriad US military documents prove that NORAD has not been entirely honest. In this post I will highlight two especially unusual occasions where they were certainly involved. But, beforehand, if my readers need to catch up, I have linked is Part 1 and Part 2.
UFOs Are Tracked On NORAD Systems: And That’s Fact Now down to business. A little known fact concerning the infamous Japan Airlines sighting in 1986 is that NORAD almost definitely played a role in the extraordinary event, completely aside from the FAA and even the USAF. For those that do not know about this case, I will only briefly summarise it. On November 17th, 1986, Japan Airlines (JAL) cargo flight 1628 was flying at nearly 900 kilometres an hour over Alaska. Just after sunset, the three crew witnessed a series of UFO encounters that last for 31 minutes, and, the entire fiasco was watched on both FAA primary radar, and, USAF primary radar. The case made headlines around the world. In 2000, John Callahan, Chief of the FAA’s Accidents, Evaluations and Investigations division confirmed the seriousness of the event, and the involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency and the President’s Scientific Staff. He also came forward with more FAA evidence, on top of the hundreds of pages of official documentation already released. NORAD’s involvement has been overlooked in this case, I believe. At the heart of the matter, we know for an absolute fact that both the primary radar at the FAA’s Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center (AARTCC), and the primary radar at the USAF’s Elmendorf Air Force Base Regional Operations Command Center (ROCC) picked up “surge primary returns” next to the JAL flight. As these returns were being watched on the screens, the crew were discussing with the FAA, over radio, the worrisome traffic they had around them. It’s a classic radar-visual case, pure and simply. The actual voice tapes of this event are available, and one can actually hear the gravity of the situation in the voices of the pilot, as well as those of the air traffic controllers at FAA AARTCC and USAF ROCC. The important thing here is that there may have been, in some no-doubt complex way, a third set of air traffic controllers, using a third system, watching the event. In the official FAA voice tape transcript the USAF’s ROCC controller says, at 5:38:51: “Ah, I’m gonna talk to my other radar man here has gotta, he’s got some other equipment watching this aircraft.” The passage of speech is somewhat broken, but he clearly says “my other radar man here” and“some other equipment”. Considering it is a USAF controller who was talking, one can’t help but question who “my other radar man” could be, and, what “other equipment” was “watching” the UFOs around the JAL flight? It turns out it was probably NORAD. Elmendorf Air Force Base had, in the 1980’s, a more classified system operated by NORAD, which complimented the USAF hardware. The two merged in Year 2000, but, back in 1986, NORAD’s presence wasn’t exactly advertised at the time of the JAL 1628 UFO sightings. In fact, when one reads that dismal FAA paperwork on the incident, even the USAF’s involvement, let alone NORAD’s, was barely mentioned, despite the fact that they were watching the same thing on their screens, and stating such to the FAA controllers and the JAL pilots. Whatever the exact situation, speculation that NORAD was involved in this event is strengthened when one reads a particular FAA document from the FAA’s JAL 1628 report. After one of the post-landing interviews between the JAL crew and FAA Special Agents James Derry and Ronald Mickle, Special Agent Derry wrote a one page statement. The final paragraph states: “Upon completion of my discussion with the crew, I called Captain Stevens (Duty Officer to NORAD) and asked if he had any questions other than what I had asked. He said he had no other questions, but they also showed two targets on radar (one was JAL). He stated that they would give all data to Intelligence in the morning. I then asked Bobby Lamkin by phone if the Air Force was holding the data and he said yes” Below is an image of this document.
NORAD On Alert Another incident where NORAD paperwork connects them, very strongly I might add, to serious UFO events, is the extraordinary October-November, 1975 “over flights” of a dozen US military bases by unknown aircraft, variously described as mundane helicopters right through to totally unfamiliar and oddly performing craft that appeared repeatedly on ground-based radar and utterly eluded USAF authorities for weeks. These events were highlighted in Barry Greenwood and Lawrence Fawcett’s game-changing 1984 book “Clear Intent”, later published with the title “UFO Cover Up: What the Government Won’t Say”. I will not even attempt here to give an overview of the wave of UFO activity that occurred at that time. What does need to be said though is that hundreds and hundreds of pages of official documents were released from nearly two dozen commands and agencies within the US military throughout 1976 to 1983. Barry Greenwood and Robert Todd accessed most of them, and Barry fondly tells me how stunned he was – time after time – that such raw intelligence and front-line reporting was being furnished to him. These researchers cannot be thanked enough for their work.
Amongst those piles of gold, was a four page release of “incident” summaries extracted from both the NORAD Command Directors Log and the 24th NORAD Region Senior Director’s Log. The time period for released material was from the 29th of October to the 10th of November, 1975. The actual documents were released to researcher Todd Zechel on the 4th of October, 1977. Despite the fact these are quite well known, I wish to highlight some of the contents, and provide imagery of the offending pages. The first page details various worrisome intrusions by “unknown helicopters” over Loring Air Force Base, Maine, Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan, and Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana – all of which maintained mission-ready nuclear weapons.
See below.
The stakes are raised on page 2 of the release where the 24th NORAD Region Senior Director's Log (Malmstrom AFB, Montana) The most alarming incident summaries are probably: “7 Nov 75 (1035Z) - Received a call from the 341st Strategic Air Command Post (SAC CP), saying that the following missile locationsreported seeing a large red to orange to yellow object: M-1, L-3, LIMA and L-6. The general object location would be 10 miles south of Moore, Montana, and 20 miles east of Buffalo, Montana. Commander and Deputy for Operations (DO) informed.” And, for the actual word “UFO”, “7 Nov 75 (1429Z) - From SAC CP: As the sun rose, the UFOs disappeared. Commander and DO notified.”
On page 3, the continuing NORAD summaries mention the term “UFO” five times, plus radar tracks of “unknowns”, “objects”, plus the inspection of such events by fighter jets, which met with failure.
The page is imaged below.
The final page summarises a continuation of similar events that kept plaguing nuclear-weapon equipped bases along the US-Canadian untill mid-November. One piece of text, which brought Minot Air Force Base into the spectacle states:
“10 Nov 75 (1125Z) - UFO sighting reported by Minot Air Force Station, a bright star-like object in the west, moving east, about the size of a car. First seen approximately 1015Z. Approximately 1120Z, the object passed over the radar station, 1,000 feet to 2,000 feet high, no noise heard. Three people from the site or local area saw the object. NCOC notified.”
Finally, this 4 page NORAD release was finalised with some interesting statements which eluded to more material that related to the over flights of these bases, and, thus, Todd Zechel's FOI request. The text indicates that more documents of NORAD providence are in existence, but that they are not fit for release to the public due to legal exemptions. Specifically: “2. HQ USAF/DADF also forwarded a copy of NORAD document for a review for possible downgrade and release. We have determined the document if properly and currently classified and is exempt from disclosure under Public Law 90-23, 5 USC 552b(1).” These pages were signed off by one Colonel Terrance C. James, USAF, Director of Administration. The USAF and NORAD run administrative and functional operations hand-in-hand, thus, a USAF Colonel was able to clear this material for release. Also, aside from the above releases, there were actually a great deal more documents of NORAD providence, or, that mentioned NORAD, released to the likes of Barry Greenwood, Robert Todd, Lawrence Fawcett, Todd Zechel and others in that extraordinary period of FOI openness. In one, which Barry Greenwood has on file, the Commander-in-Chief of NORAD sent a four-part message to various NORAD units on November 11, 1975 summarizing the events: “Since 28 Oct 75 numerous reports of suspicious objects have been received at the NORAD CU; reliable military personnel at Loring AFB, Maine, Wurtsmith AFB, Michigan, Malmstrom AFB, Mt, Minot AFB, ND, and Canadian Forces Station, Falconbridge, Ontario, Canada have visually sighted suspicious objects.” Regardless of who released what, clearly any NORAD Log Extracts that contain the phraseology like “UFOs”, radar tracks of low-flying “unknowns”, “objects” and “unknown helicopters” indeed fall within our area of interest. NORAD, as well as other US military branches, stated that these incidents were “isolated”, but even the most bone-headed skeptic would not accept that. In my next blog post I will be discussing more about NORAD's capabilities and mission, and the current and ongoing efforts by myself and UK researcher David Charmichael to get to the bottom of how NORAD currently handles the UFO matter. Stay tuned.
There can be very few people within the field of UFO research who haven’t heard accounts of significant material on UFOs going “missing.” We’re talking about the likesof certain files on the Rendlesham Forest UFO event of 1980, and on the Roswell controversy of 1947. There’s also a very intriguing – but far less well-known – affair from the 1950s. It’s one that I have taken a personal interest in, but which still remains unresolved.
The late Ralph Noyes retired from the British Ministry of Defense in 1977. In an interview with UFO investigator Timothy Good, Noyes revealed that, back in the 1950s, the Royal Air Force had secured “gun-camera” footage of UFOs over the UK. The footage – seen by Noyes at the MoD in 1970, along with a dozen or so other individuals – wasn’t overly spectacular (Noyes described it as “unimpressive”). But, it certainly showed something anomalous and fast-moving. Noyes (whose account you can find in Good’s 1987 book, Above Top Secret) confirmed that he saw the footage while in the employ of the MoD, as did representatives from the Meteorological Office, the Director of Air Defense, and a number of personnel from the Air Staff. A theory was offered that the phenomenon may have been “something obscure meteorologically.”
Nick Pope
In the latter part of 1993, I approached the Ministry of Defense and inquired about the then-current status of that same gun-camera footage. Certainly, it was not available for study at the National Archives. So, where was it? That’s a good question. One of those I spoke with on this matter was Nick Pope. Between 1991 and 1994, Pope worked in one particular Ministry of Defense office that handled UFO reports, Secretariat (Air Staff) 2a.
Pope told me: “I liaised with our archivist people, who are the sort of middlemen between us and [the National Archives]. They made a number of checks and, basically, a check was made of any place where this material might have ended. Now, that includes [the National Archives]. It also includes anything that might have got lodged in a halfway house of archiving. They checked the Imperial War Museum and, I think, the RAF Museum.”
Pope continued: “No-one is disputing that Ralph Noyes saw this footage and that it existed. That’s not in dispute, as far as I’m concerned. I think it’s unfortunate, but I suspect that one of two things happened. Either it got lost or destroyed somewhere, because it wasn’t seen as being of public interest at that time. Or, old film deteriorates; it becomes unstable and you have to destroy it before it becomes a health and safety hazard. But, I think Ralph himself said that the footage wasn’t that spectacular. We did have a thorough look for it and unfortunately it didn’t turn up. Given that we’ve now had a proper look, I think it’s unlikely it will turn up. All I can say is, we gave it our best shot.”
While I have absolutely no doubt that Pope was being entirely honest and sincere in his statements, I find it odd that such footage would have been routinely destroyed – and without copies being made for possible, future reference. After all, whether it was a craft from “somewhere else” or, as Noyes suggested, a strange meteorological phenomenon, the fact is that it was caught on film by a military pilot (or pilots), in British airspace, and remained unidentified.
A study of the available and now-declassified UFO reports of the Ministry of Defense shows that, across the decades, it preserved thousands of reports submitted by the general public. Many of those reports described nothing stranger than sightings of mere lights in the sky. Yet, they were all carefully kept on file. But, evidence obtained by the military was seemingly destroyed. To me, that doesn’t make sense. Unless, of course, there’s another explanation: that, to this day, the footage remains classified and far away from the prying eyes of Ufologists. And even from employees of the Ministry of Defense, too.
UFOs and horror have always gone hand-in-hand in Hollywood. Ever since 1951 whenThe Thing from Another Worldterrified cinemagoers with its giant humanoid vegetable monster, audiences have revelled in the repulsion of silver screen aliens. But while the majority of Hollywood’s ETs are invasive, not all are explicitly horrific or soul-chillingly scary.
The popularization of abduction mythology in the late-1980s and early-1990s gave Hollywood a rich new vein to tap – one that lent itself naturally to the horror genre. Helpless victims being snatched from their familiar surroundings in the dead of night by stealthy non-human entities is horror that writes itself.
The Hollywood adaptations of Whitley Strieber’s Communionand Budd Hopkins’Intruders (1989 and 1992 respectively) represented the industry’s first attempts to engage seriously with the abduction phenomenon in its full spectrum of weirdness as reported by experiencers. As real life does not conform to genre, so Communion andIntruders came in a mixture of shades: sci-fi, horror, family drama, but above all else they were existential stories. Unfortunately, such genre-defying products didn’t sit well with studio bosses, who wanted easy-to-package narratives for increasingly dumbed-down audiences.
Hollywood simplified its approach to abductions in 1993 with Fire in the Sky, the big screen adaptation of Travis Walton’s famous true-life account of alien abduction in Arizona in 1975. Tracy Tormé’s screenplay was a reasonably faithful accounting of the Walton experience – that is until its final act, which notoriously distorted Walton’s encounter out of all recognition. The ‘Nordic’ beings described by Travis and their walkabout with him in a spaceport were nowhere to be seen in the movie. Walton’s skittish Grays were replaced with frightful goblin-like beings who literally drag the logger like a sack of spuds through their pestilent, rotting spaceship – all dank tunnels and dripping embryonic sacks – before gluing him to a table with a suffocating membrane and subjecting him to graphic torture with a thick needle to the eyeball. It remains a horrific sequence, so powerful as to erase almost all memory of the events that precede it.
In fairness to the screenwriter, Tormé’s hand was forced away from the word of Walton’s account by jittery studio executives at Paramount, who had threatened to pull the plug on the movie if radical changes weren’t made. Walton himself agreed to these changes, albeit reluctantly. This marked the point in time when alien abduction truly entered the horror genre. Hollywood has never looked back.
Here are four distinctly UFOlogical films from more recent years which have exploited the abduction phenomenon to horrific effect…
The Fourth Kind (2009)
The Fourth Kind was purported by Universal studios to be a true story “based on actual case studies” from the files of Dr. Abigail Tyler, a psychologist who had collected disturbing testimonies from the town of Nome, Alaska, where numerous residents allegedly had vanished since the 1960s. Universal presented archive news clippings online from various Alaskan newspapers, painting a picture of a town historically plagued by UFO sightings and apparent alien abductions.
The movie draws extensively from UFOlogy, featuring a psychologist (à la John Mack) interviewing numerous people whose lives have been turned upside down by mysterious nocturnal disturbances. In a knowing reference to the owl in abduction lore, each of the experiencers report seeing the bird immediately prior to and during their traumas. The owl is later revealed to be a screen memory enforced by the aliens, who here are almost demonic in nature as they physically possess and speak through the bodies of their victims in a dark and twisted tongue, which we are told is Sumerian – a clear reference to the Annunaki of Ancient Astronaut lore. Invasive experimentation is depicted, including procedures on the female reproductive system, but the aliens’ ultimate agenda is left a mystery.
The Fourth Kind was presented as a docudrama featuring “real” footage capturing the events in Nome alongside dramatic reconstructions with Hollywood actors. At various points throughout the film, the ‘dramatic reconstructions’ and ‘real events’ are presented simultaneously in split-screen in order that the viewer can clearly distinguish between the two. But, of course, none of it is real. The “real” footage was fabricated in its entirety, so too were all of the Alaskan news clippings used by Universal in its marketing campaign. Dr. Abigail Tyler never existed, neither did anyone else portrayed in the film. When this elaborate Hollywood sham was revealed, Universal was served with a lawsuit from the Alaska Press Club, to whom the studio agreed to pay $20,000 for undermining the credibility of the various papers whose names had been exploited by the studio. The film went on to make a respectable $49 million from its $10 million investment.
Dark Skies (2013)
Not to be confused with Bryce Zabel’s unrelated Dark Skies TV show from the 1990s, from which this movie brazenly took its title, Dark Skies follows the plight of the Barretts, a suburban family who have been ‘marked’ by evil Grays for nocturnal terrorization and abduction. Husband and wife Daniel and Lacey (Josh Hamilton and Keri Russell) slowly come to accept that the insidious events plaguing their lives have no earthly explanation and, in desperation, turn to local UFOlogist and abductee Edwin Pollard (J.K. Simmons) for answers. Dark Skies is formulaic and predictable, but upon close viewing it demonstrates some understanding of the abduction phenomenon as reported, or at least of its key characteristics. As is standard, some of these characteristics are distorted for horrific effect.
The behaviour of the Grays in Dark Skies is not too far wide of the mark UFOlogically. At times they behave like poltergeists, invisibly raiding the family’s fridge, stealing family photos from their frames, and, in a scene seemingly paying homage to the Poltergeistmovie (1982), elaborately stacking household items in the kitchen. The effect is to bemuse and to frighten. Although exaggerated, these scenes are significant in that numerous abductees have reported paranormal occurrences in conjunction with their experiences – specifically poltergeist phenomena and so-called ‘shadow people.’ These latter phenomena are depicted in Dark Skies in scenes where CCTV captures blurry images of shadow-like figures silently infiltrating the family’s home at night, looming at the children’s bedsides. In this respect the movie is faithful to abduction literature, which describes Grays and other entities effortlessly gaining access to abductees in any given environment – windows, doors, even brick walls are no obstacle for intelligences who consistently demonstrate almost supernatural abilities.
Dark Skies features UFOlogical flourishes from start to finish, suggesting a reasonable level of research on the part of writer/director Scott Stewart. Paintings of owls hang prominently in a child’s bedroom, family members experience missing time, disorientation, nose bleeds; they discover implants in their bodies and unexplainable marks on their skin, including bruises and even geometric shapes, as has so often been reported in real life cases.
Dark Skies received poor to middling reviews from critics, but went on to gross a very respectable $27 million against its very modest $3.5 million budget.
Alien Abduction (2014)
This found-footage flick received limited theatrical distribution following a Video on Demand release. The events of the movie are documented by an autistic eleven-year-old-boy (played by Riley Polanski), who, along with his family, is attacked and abducted by Grays while on a camping trip in the Brown Mountains of North Carolina – a region known in real life for its folklore relating to mysterious lights in the sky.
Seeking to blur UFO fact and fantasy, the movie opens with text informing us that what follows is “actual leaked footage from the US Air Force.” We then see shaky-cam shots filmed inside the alien spacecraft of people being tortured. Screams fill the thick, putrid air. As in Fire in the Sky, and in sharp contrast to experiencer testimonies, the alien environment here is dungeon-like.
The narrative then begins proper, as Riley’s camera footage reveals to us the events that befell him and his family, which play out almost like a stalk-and-slash story. A substantial chunk of the action takes place in a tunnel on a lonely road, wherein the family stumble across dozens of abandoned cars, their drivers and passengers apparently having been abducted en masse. The method of abduction is a violent and messy one, requiring the abductee to be directly within the clawing grasp of a Gray, or clearly within a tractor beam. The aliens here seem far away from thinking, reasoning beings. They are brutal monsters whose methods are crude and dirty.
When all family members have been killed or abducted, including Riley (whose camera continues to film aboard the spaceship before being jettisoned back down to earth by a snarling Gray), the footage is retrieved by Project Blue Book personnel. A card reads: “All footage property of the U.S. Air Force: Project Blue Book Case #4499.”
Extraterrestrial (2014)
In a well-worn horror setup, a group of young friends gather for a good time at a secluded cabin in the woods. It’s not zombies or demons who spoil their fun, though, but tall Grays, who have crashed their flying saucer nearby. Extraterrestrial plays out as ‘teens vs. aliens’ with a heavy debt to UFOlogy. Fire in the Sky, in particular, served as a strong influence. The opening scene is a clear homage to the phone box scene in Firewhere a traumatized, animal-like Travis Walton desperately calls for help following his abduction. Extraterrestrial even features a scene which mirrors almost shot-for-shot the famous scene in the Walton movie where Travis steps out of the car and gazes awestruck at the craft above, only to be ‘zapped’ by a beam of light before being taken. The interior of the spaceship in Extraterrestrial is very much like that in the Walton movie – organic, dank, and gooey. If these allusions weren’t subtle enough, the name of one the characters in Extraterrestrial, Michael Ironside’s gruff woodsman, is Travis.
Beyond its homages to Fire in the Sky, Extraterrestrial references other UFOlogical facets and events. The plot features animal mutilations and a crashed UFO with wreckage “like tinfoil,” a description used by Roswell witnesses. There is even a Project Moon Dust-style crash/retrieval team, whose government bosses have maintained a treaty with the aliens since 1947. The treaty, we are told, is “a basic simple agreement with one cardinal rule: do not engage.” Essentially, then, the government has been turning a blind-eye to the aliens’ human experimentations for almost seven decades. The experiments in Extraterrestrial are restricted mainly to lethal anal probings with large metal drills. The aliens here are monsters, nothing more. How such violent creatures survived long enough as a species to develop interstellar or transdimensional travel is, unsurprisingly, never considered.
Tens-of-thousands of individuals the world over continue to report physical and/or mental interactions with otherworldly intelligences. Regardless of one’s personal perspective on such accounts, it seems fair to say that Hollywood’s treatment of the abduction phenomenon has been generally crude and simplistic. Today, Hollywood shows little sign of engaging with abduction lore beyond its most obvious horror tropes; little interest in exploring the oft-reported psychologically and spiritually transformative aspects of these experiences at individual and collective levels. Yes, abduction movies of the future can (and perhaps should) still be deeply scary, but scares needn’t always come at the expense of narrative nuance and psychological complexity. I, for one, hope more filmmakers begin to recognize this subject for the rich tapestry of human emotion it truly represents. Theirs would be the movies I’d pay to see.
In 1909, the U.K. was hit by a strange wave of largely night-time encounters with what many might term UFOs. Particularly hard hit by the mysterious, aerial intruders was Wales. Brett Holman, who has extensively studied this issue, says in an excellent article: “On the night of 23 March 1909, a police constable named Kettle saw a most unusual thing: ‘a strange, cigar-shaped craft passing over the city’ of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. His friends were skeptical, but his story was corroborated, to an extent, by Mr Banyard and Mrs Day, both of nearby March, who separately saw something similar two nights later. In fact, these incidents were only the prelude to a series of several dozen such sightings throughout April and especially May, mostly from East Anglia and South Wales.”
In May of the same year, the London Standard newspaper told its readers that with “few exceptions” the witnesses described seeing “a torpedo-shaped object, possessing two powerful searchlights, which comes out early at night.” May 18, 1909 was the night on which one of the most amazing encounters occurred. A Mr. C. Lethbridge was walking to his Roland Street, Cardiff home, via the 271-meter-high Caerphilly Mountain. As he did so, Lethbridge was astonished by the sight of a cigar-shaped vehicle – in excess of forty-feet in length – which was sitting on the grass, at the edge of a mountain road. In his very own words…
“When I turned the bend at the summit I was surprised to see a long tube-shaped affair on the grass on the roadside, with two men busily engaged with something nearby. They attracted my close attention because of their peculiar getup; they appeared to have big heavy fur coats and fur caps fitting tightly over their heads. I was rather frightened, but I continued to go on until I was within twenty yards of them, and then my idea as to their clothing was confirmed.
“The noise of my little spring cart seemed to attract them, and when they saw me they jumped up and jabbered furiously to each other in a strange lingo — Welsh or something else; it was certainly not English. They hurriedly collected something off the ground, and then I was really frightened. The long thing on the ground rose up slowly. I was standing still at the time, quite amazed, and when it was hanging a few feet off the ground the men jumped into a kind of little carriage suspended from it, and gradually the whole affair and the men rose in the air in a zigzag fashion. When they had cleared the telegraph wires that pass over the mountain, two lights like electric lamps shone out, and the thing went higher into the air, and sailed away towards Cardiff.”
UFO researcher David Clarke says: “Lethbridge’s story was supported by a number of independent witnesses at the Cardiff Docks who claimed they had spotted an airship pass overhead as they enjoyed a supper-break at 1.15 am on 19 May. This was just two hours after the airship left Caerphilly Mountain.” It should noted, however, that Clarke adds: “Charles Fort, writing in 1931, erred on the side of caution by categorizing the story as a publicity stunt. However, experienced reporters who interviewed Lethbridge at the Cardiff offices of the South Wales Daily News claimed that he was ‘an elderly man, of quiet demeanor, and did not strike one as given to romancing.'”
Ray Boeche, of Lincoln, Nebraska, is an Anglican priest and a former state-director for the Mutual UFO Network: MUFON. A firm believer in the existence of the UFO phenomenon, Boeche does not believe it has extraterrestrial origins. Rather, his conclusion is that the phenomenon is demonic – and that includes the darkly-suited figures known as the Men in Black. Boeche says (in UFOs: Caught in a Web of Deception):
“The Welsh airship flap of 1909 resulted in many MIB-like encounters, the mysterious visitors usually reported to have been speaking in some strange, unknown language. An event from four years earlier, in 1905, may be even more interesting. During the spring of that year, Wales was inundated with sightings of mysterious aerial lights. On March 30, 1905, the Barmouth Advertiser carried this item: ‘In the neighborhood dwells an exceptionally intelligent young woman of the peasant stock, whose bedroom has been visited three nights in succession by a man dressed in black. This figure has delivered a message to the girl which she is too frightened to relate.'”

Triangle UFO Over Lake Tahoe, CA On May 18, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: May 18, 2016 Location of sighting: Lake Tahoe, California, USA This UFO is hovering low over Lake Tahoe and it easy blends into the shadows of the tree line, so its no wonder he didn't see it right away. Lake Tahoe has many mysteries about its deep, cold water. This UFO probably came from below the lake. I remember famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau once said to have had a brush with something horrific in a deepwater dive at Tahoe in the mid-1970s. "The world isn't ready for what was down there," he stated. Cousteau never released any photographs or data from the dive, adding to the mystery and legend. But I have long believed that he may have found alien structures deep below its surface. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: Was just taking a picture outside my hotel room and was going to send it to a friend as I was looking at the photo I noticed something over the tree top line and when I blew the picture up I noticed the object.
This is cool. This week in a small village in Argentina, residents witnessed a UFO that landed in the area and an alien was seen walking about. This is highly unusual and has not happened very often except in secluded areas with small populations. Last time was at an elementary school in Africa. For aliens to risk their safety by walking around and examining the area, there must be something important about to happen in that area. Aliens live extended lives, even some that are immortal, but less they die in an accident. They calculate the risks and if the risk is too high, they don't do it. For them to do this, something more important than their own lives was at stake here. Otherwise they could have landed in a wooded area of a mountain hundreds of miles from the nearest human, but they didn't. They chose this village. Maybe an ancient clan of their species once had a base far below ground in the area and they are seeking its location. Thousand of years can cause them to forget exact locations. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Inexplicata news states: Argentina: Locals Allegedly Witness UFO and Alien in El Dorado In the city of Santa Cruz, residents of the El Dorado District, El Bastión sector, claim having seen a UFO, alleging that an extraterrestrial creature. They believe the entity descended from its "craft" and that it made an effort to get back on board when detected by locals. The event took place at 10:00 in the evening. Local residents went as far as to note that the entity climbed through the trees. Students manage to photograph a gleaming light over their neighborhood. "Three students," alleges the news report, "were witnesses to the sighting from EL Dorado as they returned home from school. It all began with a bright light in the sky, when the unimaginable occurred." "Something came down, straight down," explains a female witness. "A light came straight down, more or less, and they say it lost itself in that tree. It tried to get into that house over there." Another woman adds: "A very loud sound was heard. All the signals (sic) went out. There was no way to record that sound. Suddenly it fell down and disappeared. I don't know what it could have been." "It happened at ten o'clock,"continues the narration, "local residents say they saw a UFO in the sky, which crashed on Calle #2 of the district. They even described a strange being that climbed up a tree. (A child can be heard, saying, "some eyes looked at me!"). "It was small and gooey," adds another young woman, speaking to a reporter. "It extended its arms and climbed a tree. That's when all the neighbors came out, but nothing could be found." The owner of the property remarks: "They said it had long fingers, and climbed right over there," gesturing at her fence.

At a distant star called Kepler-223, four gas giant planets orbit close in to their sun. It couldn’t be more different from our own solar system today, where all the big planets hang out far away. But could Kepler-223 be how our solar system was long ago?
Based on observations from the Kepler space telescope, a new study suggests yes. Perhaps Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were created close in to the sun. Over time, their gravities working together helped pull them away from the disc of gas and dust surrounding our sun. Once the giant planets cleared, this created room for the small planets living near the sun today: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
“Exactly how and where planets form is an outstanding question in planetary science,” said lead author Sean Mills, a graduate student in astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Chicago, in a statement. “Our work essentially tests a model for planet formation for a type of planet we don’t have in our solar system.”
The new study comes from a combination of Kepler data — which showed how the four planets affect each other’s movements and block light from the star — and simulations of how planets migrate.
There are differences from our own solar system, however. Kepler-223 is older (4.6 billion years) and so its planets have stayed in place much longer than ours, if they did migrate.
But there is something interesting about this system. The four planets are in resonance with each other, meaning that they orbit in a simple ratio to each other (such as 2 orbits for every 1). This is the first time four planets have been seen in resonance.
Saturn’s moons Io, Europa and Ganymede are in resonance.
MARK SHOWALTER, SETI INSTITUTE
“These resonances are extremely fragile,” said study co-author Daniel Fabrycky, an assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Chicago, in the same statement. “If bodies were flying around and hitting each other, then they would have dislodged the planets from the resonance.”
So in our own solar system, perhaps the four gas giants were in resonance — but then were hurled into new orbits over time after hitting asteroids, planets in formation and other debris in the inner solar system.
One key mystery, if that is the case, is how come there was so much intervening debris in our solar system, but Kepler-223 stayed stable for much longer. More study will be needed to better figure this out.
Astronomers Capture Image Of Universe 13 Billion Years Ago, “Where No Human Has Seen Before”
Astronomers Capture Image Of Universe 13 Billion Years Ago, “Where No Human Has Seen Before”
Hubble
IN BRIEF
An international team of astronomers at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii have confirmed their observation of a galaxy from 13 billion years ago, offering insight on the ionization of hydrogen gas, a cosmic phenomenon that began the birth of the known universe.
A team of scientists just captured an image of the faintest galaxy ever observed. It is considered to be a toddlerin the aged (and rather senior) universe. The image was captured at the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, and the study is published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Using the data from the previous observations, and an optical phenomenon known as gravitationallensing, in which the gravity of massive objects between the observer and the subject (like a supermassive black hole drifting through the cosmos between Earth and a distant galaxy) magnifies the view of the subject.
In this case, the galaxy was found to be hiding behind another. The experts assert that without this phenomenon, it would’ve been impossible to see the galaxy at all.

The galaxy under scrutiny is relatively young, estimated to be from 13 billion years ago. The team infers that the system has a very low stellar mass, one that is just “one percent of one percent of the Milky Way.” Nonetheless, its discovery is providing relevant insights about the origins of the cosmos.
In a press release, lead author of the study Kuang-Han Huang says the galaxy exists at the end of the reionization epoch of the universe, a time when the hydrogen gases spewed out from the Big Bang were transitioning from neutral to ionized. This process is when the stars lit up for the first time.
“It’s a very, very small galaxy, and at such a great distance, it’s a clue in answering one of the fundamental questions astronomy is trying to understand: What is causing the hydrogen gas at the very beginning of the universe to go from neutral to ionized about 13 billion years ago,” saya Keck astronomer Marc Kassis. “That’s when stars turned on and matter became more complex.”

IN BRIEF
Researchers at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology have found fossils dating back 1.5 billion years ago, and they believe they are multicellular organisms. This challenges the idea that complex life started only around half a billion years ago.
DISCOVERY CHALLENGES HISTORY BOOKS
Researchers from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology claim that a fossil they found in Hebei Province’s Yanshan region in China shows that multicellular life actually have started on Earth 1.5 billion years ago—a billion years earlier than previous studies dictate.
“Our discovery pushes back nearly one billion years the appearance of macroscopic, multicellular eukaryotes compared to previous research,” Maoyan Zhu, a professor at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology.

Prior to this discovery, it was believed that only single-celled organisms existed for billions of years, a period referred to as the “boring billion” due to the lack of any significant evolutionary progress in this era.
After then, there was a great leap into complex life, resulting in the vast (and fast) evolutionary branching out of species. But when exactly this started remains unknown; however, the new study offers better insights into just how far back life goes.
The team says they gathered 167 measurable fossils, the largest of them measuring 30cm by 8cm. One third of the specimens were in one of four regular shapes, indicating complexity.

These are “compelling evidence for the early evolution of organisms large enough to be visible with the naked eye,” Zhu says. “This totally renews current knowledge on the early history of life.”
Previously, eukaryotes of comparable size had not been known to appear in the fossil record until about 600m years ago, when a multitude of soft-bodied creatures inhabited the world’s oceans. Prior to this, for the first 10 million centuries after the initial evolution of complex cells, the cells didn’t really do all that much evolving.
University of Bristol Palaeobiology professor Phil Donoghue says the discovery could be momentous: “They are not the oldest eukaryotes, but they are certainly the oldest demonstrably multicellular eukaryotes.”
SCIENCE MEETS RESISTANCE, AS IT SHOULD
As with most discoveries big enough to potentially rewrite history, the discovery is not exempt from resistance.
University of Oxford senior researcher Jonathan Antcliffe thinks the specimens are more likely colonies of bacteria, rather than eukaryotic. “There is nothing here to suggest that the specimens are eukaryotic, as opposed to bacterial,” he notes.
A researcher from the University of Poitiers in France, Abderrazak El Albani, whose discovery of a fossil supposedly of a 2.1-billion year old multicellular organism was also met with skepticism, thinks the evidence presented by the Nanjing team is also unsatisfactory for evaluation, as it could not clearly distinguish whether the specimens were multicellular, eukaryotic, or complex.

Mysterie van het "Egyptische Atlantis": tentoonstelling toont gezonken stad die 1300 jaar op zeebodem lag - HLN.be
Door: Dimitri Antonissen
VIDEOMeer dan 1300 jaar was het niet meer dan een legende: een gezonken Egyptische stad die ergens op de bodem van de Middellandse Zee verborgen moest liggen. Het "Egyptische Atlantis" werd ze in verhalen genoemd. Ooit moest Thonis-Heracleion de belangrijkste Egyptische havenstad zijn geweest. Tot een natuurramp de stad -en al haar monumenten- deed zinken. De legende blijkt nu écht te zijn. Een Franse onderwaterarcheoloog herontdekte de stad in 2000, en een prestigieuze tentoonstelling in het British Museum toont voor het eerst de schatten die de "duikende" Indiana Jones kon blootleggen. HLN was dit weekend bij de pas geopende tentoonstelling.
Op een oppervlakte van verschillende vierkante kilometer vonden Fransman Franck Goddio en zijn team van duikers een enorme verzameling sfinksen, gigantische standbeelden, gouden ringen, delicate bronzen beeldjes en de grootste verzameling Egyptische boten (69 scheepswrakken en 700 ankers) ooit ontdekt
Het is een indrukwekkend zicht, helemaal in het begin van de tentoonstelling: het vijf meter hoge standbeeld van de Egyptische god Hapy dat bezoekers verwelkomt. En toch is het niet het beeld zelf, maar de foto's en video's ernaast die het meest tot de verbeelding spreken. Op één foto is te zien hoe duikers voorzichtig riemen aanbrengen rond het nog half in het slib verzonken standbeeld. Een andere video toont hoe het daarna met een open vrachtwagen door de straten van Caïro wordt gereden. Na meer dan 1300 jaar op de zeebodem, voor het eerst terug aan wal. Maar er zijn ook foto's van een duiker die met zijn zaklamp hiërogliefen probeert te ontcijferen op een gigantisch stenen tablet. Of hoe het team een Egyptische tempel ontdekt op de bodem. Zo krijg je ook als bezoeker het Indiana-Jones-gevoel dat de onderwaterarcheologen gehad moeten hebben toen ze voor het eerst hun ontdekking deden. Op een oppervlakte van verschillende vierkante kilometer vonden Fransman Franck Goddio en zijn team van duikers een enorme verzameling sfinksen, gigantische standbeelden, gouden ringen, delicate bronzen beeldjes en de grootste verzameling Egyptische boten (69 scheepswrakken en 700 ankers) ooit ontdekt. Nog maar 5% van alles wat op de bodem ligt, is al bovengehaald. Maar de tentoonstelling toont een imposante eerste selectie.
Uit de vondsten achterhaalden wetenschappers ook waarom Thonis-Heracleion verzwolgen werd door de zee. Het proces heet "bodemvervloeiing": de aarde gaat zich plots gedragen als een vloeistof. Een fenomeen dat meestal veroorzaakt wordt door een aardbeving. Dat blijkt ook bij de Egyptische stad het geval te zijn geweest. In de tweede eeuw voor Christus werd het gebied geteisterd door drie aardbevingen en overstromingen. Dat zette de bodemvervloeiing in gang die de stad langzaam deed wegzinken. Thonis-Heracleion verloor daardoor al snel zijn prominente status, maar een kleine groep bewoners probeerde er nog te blijven wonen. Tot uiteindelijk in 800 na christus de volledige stad kopje onder ging en al snel enkel nog in verhalen herinnerd werd. Om uiteindelijk pas deze eeuw terug boven water te worden gehaald.
Belangrijkste onderwaterarcheoloog
Verantwoordelijk daarvoor is de Franse onderwaterarcheoloog Franck Goddio (68). Hij deed in de Golf van Aboukir onderzoek naar Franse oorlogsschepen die in de 18de eeuw gezonken moesten zijn, toen hij per ongeluk op de archeologische schat stootte. Goddio geldt nu als één van de belangrijkste onderwaterarcheologen van deze eeuw. Naast deze vondst ontdekte hij eerder al het vlaggenschip van Napoleon Bonaparte, en verschillende andere belangrijke scheepswrakken.
De tentoonstelling is nog tot 27 november te zien in het British Museum in Londen.
WETENSCHAPDe planeet Mars is miljarden jaren geleden mogelijk getroffen door twee enorme tsunami's. De golven zouden 120 meter hoog zijn geweest en honderden kilometers landinwaarts zijn gekomen. De muur van water zou zijn veroorzaakt door de inslag van zogenoemde meteoroïden, die tientallen kilometers grote kraters achterlieten.
Mogelijke sporen van de twee mega-tsunami's zijn gevonden op een vlakte op het noordelijk halfrond van Mars. En misschien zijn er nog wel meer tsunami's geweest. Mars heeft lang geleden stromend water op zijn oppervlak gehad. Wetenschappers hebben daar in de afgelopen jaren steeds meer bewijs voor gevonden.
De eerste inslag zou keien het land op hebben geslingerd. Toen de golven zich terugtrokken richting de zee, zou het water kanalen hebben gevormd. In de tijd erna bleek de kustlijn veranderd en werd het klimaat aanzienlijk koeler. Miljoenen jaren later, bij de tweede impact, zou vooral ijs zijn verplaatst. Het pekel daarin is mogelijk nog terug te vinden in het oppervlak van de planeet. Het pekelwater kan misschien ook duidelijk maken of er ooit leven mogelijk is geweest op Mars.
Het onderzoek is vandaag gepubliceerd in het wetenschapsblad Nature Scientific Reports.

New Study suggests Alien Civilizations may number in TRILLIONS
New Study suggests Alien Civilizations may number in TRILLIONS
“We really do know that pretty much every star in the sky hosts at least one planet…” – astronomer Adam Frank.
If we’re the only place with intelligent life, then we’ve really won the mother of all lotteries.” -Seth Shostak, SETI Institute senior astronomer. Image Credit
Rejoice Alien hunters, the possibility that Earth is not the only planet inhabited by an intelligent civilization has gained more credibility thanks to a brand new study that coincides with NASA’s recent planetary discoveries. The new study, published in the Journal Astrobiology proposes that more planets in our galaxy harbor advanced civilizations than anyone previously imagined.
“We really do know that pretty much every star in the sky hosts at least one planet,” said astronomer Adam Frank co-author of the study.
Woodruff Sullivan and Adam Frank looked at NASA’s recent discoveries of potentially habitable worlds and considered the odds whether sophisticated civilizations could have inhabited them or still do.
“What we showed was the ‘floor’ on the probability for a civilization to form on any randomly chosen planet,” Frank, a University of Rochester physics and astronomy professor, told The Huffington Post in an email. “If we are the only civilization in cosmic history, then that what we calculated is the actual probability nature has set. But if the real probability is higher than that floor, then civilizations have happened before.”
According to Frank, the potential number of planets orbiting their host star within a habitable distance is staggering.
This raises hopes that one of those planets might host alien life, and with a bit of luck, we even might discover an advanced alien civilization inhabiting one of those planets.
“Even if you are pretty pessimistic and think that you’d have to search through 100 billion (habitable zone) planets before you found one where a civilization developed, then there have still been a trillion civilizations over cosmic history!” Frank wrote. “When I think about that, my mind reels — even if there is just a one in a 100 billion chance of evolution creating exo-civilizations, the universe still has made so many of them that we are swamped by histories other than our own.”
The Drake equation
One of the most famous equations dealing with the possibility of Alien life existing in the universe is the Drake Equation. It was created by astronomer Frank Drake in 1961, and it estimates the number of planets that may be home to advanced alien civilizations with the ability to communicate with other civilizations in the cosmos.
However, Frank and Sullivan modified the Drake equation implementing new data into it. Since the Drake equation analyzes the possibility od advanced civilizations existing in the Milky Way, the equation proposed by Frank and Sullivan calculate the possible number of advanced alien civilizations that have existed in our galaxy throughout the whole ‘known’ history of the universe.
The odds that no one is out there are very, very small. Image Credit
With all the suitable real estate that’s out there, if we’re the only place with intelligent life, then we’ve really won the mother of all lotteries.” –Seth Shostak, SETI Institute senior astronomer.
Scienitsts consider the following when attempting to come up with numbers of Extraterrestrial worlds:
N
The number of civilizations in Galaxy whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable.
R*
The rate of formation of stars suitable for the development of intelligent life, in stars per year.
fp
The fraction of those stars with planetary systems.
ne
The number of planets, per solar system, with an environment suitable for life.
fl
The fraction of suitable planets on which life actually appears.
fi
The fraction of life bearing planets on which intelligent life emerges.
fc
The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.
L
The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space, in years.
Writing in the Astrobiology study, Frank and Sullivan state:
“ Recent advances in exoplanet studies provide strong constraints on all astrophysical terms in the Drake equation. Using these and modifying the form and intent of the Drake equation, we set a firm lower bound on the probability that one or more technological species have evolved anywhere and at any time in the history of the observable Universe.” (source)
The two researchers write about what they call: “the cosmic frequency of technological species.”
“The universe is more than 13 billion years old,” Sullivan, of the astronomy department and astrobiology program at the University of Washington, said in a statement. “That means that even if there have been 1,000 civilizations in our own galaxy, if they live only as long as we have been around — roughly 10,000 years — then all of them are likely already extinct. And others won’t evolve until we are long gone.
“For us to have much chance of finding another ‘contemporary’ active technological civilization, on average they must last much longer than our present lifetime,” Sullivan said. (source)
We have searched for traces of advanced alien civilizations, in hopes of finding out we are not alone for decades.
“With so many stars and planets filling the cosmos, it boggles the mind to think that we’re the only clever life to have made an appearance,” SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak told HuffPost in an email. “Frank and Sullivan use new research indicating that roughly one in five stars is orbited by a planet that could nurture biology. After that, it’s just a matter of counting up the tally of stars in the visible universe, and saying that — with all the suitable real estate that’s out there, if we’re the only place with intelligent life, then we’ve really won the mother of all lotteries.”
However, Shostak tells us not to be overly optimistic or pessimistic about the SETI Institutes search for intelligent signals from our cosmic neighbors.
“The odds that no one is out there are very, very small. It’s a bit like an ant coming out of its hive, seeing the enormous amount of real estate stretching in all directions and deciding that, if its home is the only ant hill, then its existence is a near-miracle,” said Shostak in an interview with HuffPost.
According to experts, we need to think to be more cautious about the messages we send to space in hopes of contacting our cosmic neighbors.
It’s too late to conceal ourselves in the universe say, researchers.
Scientists believe that if there is an alien civilization out there somewhere, they most likely already know we exist. That’s according to claims made by a group of researchers who think we need to be more careful next time when we send out messages out into space hoping that one day, our galactic neighbors will respond.
In an interview, Douglas Vakoch, president of the San Francisco-based non-profit Meti (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence) International said that the current signals that are being sent into space are far too simplistic. In fact, the messages might be considered as primitive by any alien civilization that intercepts the messages sent by earthlings, and therefore may not be easy to interpret the way we intended it.
“It’s too late to conceal ourselves in the universe, so we should decide how we want to represent ourselves, Vakoch told Forbes. Extraterrestrials may be waiting for a clear indication from us that we’re ready to start talking.”
That’s why his team at METI International have kickstarted a new campaign that aims to develop messages for extraterrestrial civilizations that are both informative and provocative.
Their plans are big, in fact, they want to send out the first radio transmission by the end of 2018, emphasizing on messages that will reveal basic mathematical and scientific concepts, which any alien civilization in the cosmos should be able to interpret.
‘It would be ideal to use a powerful transmitter like those used for planetary radar studies, such as Arecibo Observatory,’ said Vakoch.
Actually in the past, some similar signals have already been sent out into space, with perhaps the most famous one being sent out by the Arecibo radio telescope in 1974.
The binary digits in the message reveal information about our star system, the human species, and Earth’s biochemistry. But according to Vakoch, we need to include an instruction manual so to speak, so that extraterrestrials can decode the messages we send out more easily.
„There are a lot of hidden assumptions embedded in the ways we portray three-dimensional objects on two-dimensional surfaces,’ said Vakoch. Even if aliens use pictures, they may use a different set of conventions to map solid objects onto flat surfaces.“
During his interview with Fobes, Vakoch said that the messages we send out need to be more detailed. Instead of sending only a few details on the biochemistry of our planet, we should include the entire Periodic Table of Elements.
However, not everyone is so optimistic about searching for aliens and hoping that one day, they contacted us or visited Earth.
In February, a leading scientists at Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) commented that if aliens did visit Earth, they would take control thanks to their advanced technology, giving them an edge and ultimately leading them to make the rules on Earth.
Astronomer and co-founder of the Seti Institute Jill Tarter told TechCrunch: ‘If they showed up on our doorstep that means they have technologies that are considerably advanced with respect to ours. And because of that, they’re going to be the ones that set the rules.’
However, there are hopes that Aliens Species are peaceful and intend no harm. She explained that if such an advanced alien species had developed the technology to travel long distances across space, they must have learned to behave in a peaceful manner.
Interestingly, according to NASA’s chief scientist Ellen Stofan, it’s very likely that in the next 20 to 30 years, we could find evidence of alien life forms.

The discovery of the century: Have researchers found the mythical Hall of Records?
The discovery of the century: Have researchers found the mythical Hall of Records?
It is said that the Hall of Records holds the key to understanding our civilization and real history of humanity.
Mythologically, it is said to be a library buried somewhere in Egypt, and many people believe it could be located under the enigmatic Sphinx of Giza, watching tall and proud over the Pyramids of the Giza Plateau. A discovery of a vast underground library made in 2008, could forever change history and the origin of the Ancient Egyptian Civilization.
The Hall of Records is said to house the knowledge of the Ancient Egyptians documented in ancient papyrus scrolls and is believed to account for the history of the lost continent of Atlantis, as well as its location. Compared in importance, the Egyptian Hall of Records is just as the Great Library of Alexandria, which housed Grecian Knowledge.
While mainstream scholars firmly state there is no evidence whatsoever to indicate that the Hall of Records is real, scientists like Robert Schoch and Thomas Dobeck among other believe it could be located underneath the Sphinx.
In the book Message of the Sphinx, Graham Hancock, and Robert Bauval state that the Egyptian government together with American archeologists have blocked any investigations around or underneath the Sphinx, preventing anyone from locating the underground cavities and finding out what is located beneath the Sphinx.
While those who believe the Hall of Records exists was built by the ancient Egyptian civilization, there are others who think that the Hall existed but was not built by the Ancient Egyptians, but rather by a much older ancient civilization that predates the Ancient Egyptian.
However, what if the Hall fo Records was not located underneath the Sphinx? What if there is, in fact, a giant underground library somewhere in Egypt?
Suppressed by mainstream archeologists and scholars, there is an enormous underground library discovered in Egypt a while ago. It can easily be considered as one of the greatest discoveries of Ancient Egypt, yet only a few know about the existence of its existence. It is a discovery that could be considered as one of the most significant findings of the century, yet, for an unknown reason, most mainstream scholars, together with the Egyptian researchers have tried very hard to keep anyone far from it.
The Lost Hall of Records, finally found?
Is it possible that this is the long-lost Hall of Records? Interestingly, the existence of the ‘underground library’ was mentioned by Herodotus and Strabo who had the pleasure of visiting and recording the legendary labyrinth before it vanished from history.
Among the first to mention its existence was Herodotus:
This I have actually seen, a work beyond words. For if anyone put together the buildings of the Greeks and display of their labours, they would seem lesser in both effort and expense to this labyrinth… Even the pyramids are beyond words, and each was equal to many and mighty works of the Greeks. Yet the labyrinth surpasses even the pyramids.
Herodotus (‘Histories’, Book, II, 148),
According to writing by Herodotus I the IV century BC: the labyrinth was“situated a little above the lake of Moiris and nearly opposite to that which is called the City of Crocodiles” (‘Histories’, Book, II, 148).
Based on the descriptions of ancient texts such as those from Herodotus, and others who visited the magical labyrinth in the distant past, a 17th century German Jesuit scholar called Athanasius Kircher, created the first pictorial reproduction of the enigmatic labyrinth just as Herodotusdescribed it:It has twelve courts covered in, with gates facing one another, six upon the North side and six upon the South, joining on one to another, and the same wall surrounds them all outside; and there are in it two kinds of chambers, the one kind below the ground and the other above upon these, three thousand in number, of each kind fifteen hundred. The upper set of chambers we ourselves saw[…]
The incredible underground library could easily be what is referred to as the Hall of Records. Discovered in 2008 by a group of Belgian and Egyptian researchers, the underground temple consists of over 3000 rooms which are filled with incredible hieroglyphs and paintings, the enigmatic underground complex is located less than 100 kilometers from Cairo at Hawara, not far from the Pyramid of Amenemhat III.
This incredible discovery has been kept away from society under mysterious circumstances. The results of the expedition were published in 2008 shortly in the scientific journal of the NRIAG, and the results of the research were exchanged in a public lecture at the University of Ghent. Media from Belgium attended. However, the finding was quickly suppressed since the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (Egypt) put a hold to all further communications about the discovery due to Egyptian National Security sanctions.
In 2010, de Cordier opened a website, Labyrinth of Egypt in order to make the discovery available to the entire world. Even though researchers have confirmed the existence of the underground complex, major excavations need to take place in the future in order to explore the incredible finding. It is believed that the treasures of the underground Labyrinth could hold the answers to countless historical mysteries and the ancient Egyptian civilization.
Is this the long lost Hall of Records? Moreover, is it possible that because of its extreme importance, the government decided to deny further studies and excavations?
Interestingly, the discovery of the mystery underground library seems to fit perfectly into the accounts of the mythical Hall of Records.

My self, my sister, mother and father were waiting in our car to enter the Highland Drive-in Theater in Salt Lake City. We saw a silver (metallic) colored disk shaped craft hovering in the air a few blocks east of us, between us and the mountains. It made no sound and didn’t have any lights, it just hovered (was still) in the air, then it headed north along the face of the mountains at an incredible speed, it was out of site in a second. It then reversed its course (it was out of site when it changed direction) and came back along the same path heading south along the face of the mountains until out of sight.
This was seen at dusk, the sun had just set, but it was still light and we saw it clearly. It looked like the classic flying saucer, metallic, disk shaped, thicker in height in the middle and tapering to the outside edges, with kind of a dome shape in the middle on both the top and bottom, the bottom dome shape smaller than the one on top. It kept the same altitude the whole time, while hovering and moving (did not go up or down), just hovered went north out of site, then came back from the north and went south until out of site. Other people at the drive-in also saw it, everyone looked but no one said anything or really seemed to react to what they saw (once it was gone no one said anything just continued as if nothing had happened). Shock perhaps? My older sister was at our home on the west side of the valley sitting outside on the porch at that time and also saw it, our home was on a hill with an unobstructed view of the north and east sides of the valley. I remember my parents reading a short article in the newspaper a day or two later about people reporting seeing this disk. My family did not report it then. I can’t remember the exact date, but it was summer 1967 a Friday or Saturday and the full moon about midway in its path across the sky. I looked up full moon time in the summer of 1967 and reported the July 21 date because that is the only date that the full moon would have been in that position in the sky that summer on a Friday or Saturday.
I am a writer for various sites commenting and sharing ideas on all sorts of different topics, so I recently took the time to check out one of the top UFO websites on the Internet dealing with UFOs and Extraterrestrials, and I decided to do a little review of stories on UFODigest.com,
While there, I took the time to watch and listen to a video interview of Erich von Däniken who authored Chariots of the Gods and numerous other books. Some of the information he brought up was not entirely new to me, but I listened to see what new things I could learn. The questions he brought up have been asked from time to timeby otyher writers over decades since he first published his works bginning in the 1960s.
Briefly, one of the questions he posed is whether Mankind was created by the “Lord God” or by Extraterrestrials posing as “gods.”
In my opinion, there is no need to fear truth because truth will reconcile itself when enough information is known. For example, the law of gravity exists. If that is all a person knows, that person would say that it would be impossible for a plane to fly. The fact is, planes do fly because through the lprinciples of thrust and lift, they can overcome the law of gravity.
So how do we reconcile various differing viewpoints? When there is a seemingly difficult question to reconcile, I start with the greatest mathematical probability as being the bottom line truth, around which others are tributaries. I start with one truth that is mathematically impossible without divine intervention. That is the truth of prophecies past surrounding Jesus the Christ. I am not referring to what some refer to as end times or “the rapture” or Armageddon or any of those. I am referring to the ones that were fulfilled in Jesus’s first coming, his life, his death, his resurrection, and his purpose. Depending on how these prophecies are counted there are somewhere around 300+ prophecies that had to be fulfilled.
In other words, if two or three things are listed in one scripture, do you count that as 1, 2, or 3? A scientist in times past figured the probability just 8 of the scriptures being fulfilled to be absolutely astronomical. Three hundred of them would be out of the Milky Way ball park!
*********************
So I start there. If those prophecies have been fulfilled, then we can rely on other things the Bible says. However, what does the Bible say about something that might be construed as something “extraterrestrial”?
Genesis Chapter 6 talks about how “the sons of God” came down in to the daughters of men, chose some for wives, and procreated giants, known as the Nephilim. That fits in with the stories of pyramids, gigantic heads, sculptures and so forth that men ranging from roughly 4 – 6 feet in height or so, sometimes a bit larger, could never have produced simply using prehistoric tools.
Then the Bible tells us that the world was corrupted. Other studies of these matters have drawn conclusions that there was genetic modification to the point that only one man still retained a pure enough gene pool to save, and that was Noah, hi progeny and his posterity.
Of course, his son Ham may have been influenced concerning genetic manipulation prior to the flood or “the seed” being preserved. Some have postulated that Ham castrated his father, Noah, for Noah never had any further children after the flood, following and the tent incident with Ham.
In any case, there are many stories about a worldwide flood and it fits in with information and legends known about extra-terrestrials. It just depends through what lens you look at it.
I prefer to look at it through the Christian viewpoint since there is one defining thing that no other culture, explanation, or Holy Book has and that is the prophecies concerning Jesus the Christ. To me, the mathematics of those prophecies supersedes any other information. In other words, stories about extraterrestrials will have story lines in the Bible, but the Bible will not necessarily be in the story line of an extraterrestrial.
The War in Heaven …
Angels against Devils or Angels versus Extraterrestrials?
****************************
There are other points that can fit in with the extraterrestrial story. Why did they come? Where did they come from and why? The Bible gives us clues. There was a “war in heaven.”
A being named Satan was thrown to the Earth. He tried to take over the Earth from a man namedAdam, who had been in charge. The whole story of the redemption of Mankind and bringing it back to the One God from the clutches from Satan is told about in the Bible and is still in the process of being completed, i.e., returnig dominion over the earth to Man,it’s rightful owner.
Can stories of Extraterrestrials and the Bible be reconciled?
******************************
I feel they can be reconciled with modern scientific discoveries.. However, I feel that when there is a question of what story is the “correct story” line, due to prophecies of times past having been so completely fulfilled, that the Bible has to be taken as the final word over any stories that might be deduced otherwise. The prophetic understanding and fulfillment simply is not there for any other story line.
AsKing David said, “I will go to him, but he will not return to me.” David recognized that some directions of truth are a one way road and while interest in “extraterrestrials” may yield a lot of information, I personally believe the studies will finally culminate around the truth in the Bible, and not otherwise.
Of course, none of these questions, whether the questions of Extraterrestrials involvement in human affairs or questions about Jesus, are things the governments of the world particularly want studied. They have figured out some good story lines to feed the masses. They would prefer it if those same masses would bury their heads in entertainment or distractions and never raise them up again in questions. If they do, they might not believe the story of evolution, a “modern myth” and cornerstone of science,and so they might not be so easily controlled, and, in fact, the ruling elite might lose economic power.
These are the underlying Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of mass media control of public opinion:
Don’t question any Magic Bullet, don’t question 911, don’t question ‘global warming.’ Don’t question anything that looks strange and where the facts don’t make sense. Don’t question the safety of vaccines. Don’t question GMO’s. Don’t question Chemtrails. Don’t question HAARP. Don’t question the Fed. Don’t question war. Don’t question the military/industrial complex. Don’t question the NWO cabal. Don’t question the theory of evolution. Don’t question Area 51. Don’t question the truth about extraterrestrials. Don’t question, don’t question, don’t question.
That is how governments want everyone to reconcile truth: Hear and obey, don’t look, don’t study, don’t ask, don’t question. That way they keep the masses ignorant, suppressed, poor, and enslaved.
These make up some very disturbing ideas for the average person. However, those are thoughts for another blog post for another time. The point of this is, yes, there is information about extraterrestrials to be studied, and if we try to understand, we may be able to reconcile more than we realize. And, we may be able to reconcile it and correlate legends and myths of Extraterrestrial involvment with early Mankind to events described in the Bible.
Genesis 6:2
Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
The latest International Space Station live stream footage (May 20, 2016) shows an odd shaped unidentified red object which appears to rise over Earth’s horizon. The object then shoots off into space.
Given the speed of the strange object, what looks like three separate orbs reflecting a reddish light, it is not likely that the object is a satellite being launched into orbit.
Assuming the object is a man-made spacecraft, though given the odd shape of the object it does not look like a conventional craft, for what purpose they launched it into space?
There’s a Massive Fleet of Spaceships Stationed Behind the Moon, Researcher Reveals
There’s a Massive Fleet of Spaceships Stationed Behind the Moon, Researcher Reveals
There’s a video circulating on the internet of a spaceship meeting just behind the Moon. The footage was made available by an esteemed academic that wants to reveal the truth to the world once and for all.
There has been much talk about human activity in space. According to numerous sources, the chances for humans to experiment in space other than the International Space Station are extremely likely. Although there has been many intriguing evidence brought to light by the UFO community, authorities still have a closed mindset regarding this subject and go on ignoring it. However, when the academic community released images of an alleged spacecraft located beyond the moon, the matter took a different term.
What if I tell you there is conclusive evidence brought by various researchers that show massive movement in the vicinity of our planet? And that images provided are recognized by various universities as being authentic?
On March 23, 1983, President Reagan proposed the development of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), an ambitious project that would build a space-based anti-missile system aimed at defending the American people from any rogue missiles launched by the Soviets.
What President Reagan didn’t anticipate at that time was the lack of technological means needed to complete this daring project. The SDI, also dubbed ‘The Star Wars’ program would require extremely advanced technological systems that were yet to be researched and developed. The system (if successful) aimed at inclining the nuclear balance towards the US, giving them an unprecedented advantage when it came to intercepting nuclear attacks, but also mounting them more effectively.
According to atomicarchive.com, “among the potential components of the defense system were both space and earth-based laser battle stations, which, by a combination of methods, would direct their killing beams towards moving Soviet targets. Air-based missile platforms and ground-based missiles using other non-nuclear killing mechanisms would constitute the rear echelon of defense and would be concentrated around such major targets as U.S. ICBM soils. The sensors to detect attacks would be based on the ground, in the air, and in space, and would use radar, optical, and infrared threat-detection systems.”
Although a lot of effort had already been put into the ‘Star Wars’ program, the technology proved to be too complex to research and handle, so later administrations have decided to cancel it entirely. But was this really the end of the SDI considering the huge amount of effort and funding put into it so far?
The US government rejuvenated the idea of missile defense system in the years to come by establishing the National Missile Defense, but evidence suggest their SDI activity never actually seized to exist. Even more, the program has been classified and perfected using funds received through black budget programs. It seems that, at this point, an entire fleet of spaceships is stationed in the back of the Moon, and if it sounds impossible, you may want to watch the video below that’s showing just that.
It was discovered in 2011 by John S. Lenard and published on YouTube to make as many people aware of it as possible. The video reveals numerous objects found in space just near the Moon. If the entire visible design is a mothership or rather more crafts stationed in space remains a topic of debate, but the value of the provided footage is undeniably of extreme importance.
YouTube user josephsangelo commented on the promising capture expressing his gratitude towards its discoverer: “Thank you John for this video. The Interstellar Spaceships you’ve shown and are showing us all are immensely important to human historic evolution. Soon we’ll all know there’s life many millions and/or billions of years more advanced than our own. I hope you get an award one day for your professionalism and log endeavors. Is it just me or are there aliens on board moving around the exterior? Who gets the award for the 1st alien spacewalk?”
Although there’s a high chance for the UFOs to be alien in nature, the possibility of them being developed by the military is even more likely. After all, the massive funds directed by President Raegan towards the program cannot just sink down the drain, that’s why we suspect the ‘Star Wars’ initiative continued along the years, but it followed a different objective – to secretly develop and test advanced space technology.
So why doesn’t the world react more openly to such vital information? Why doesn’t the media disclose the entire deal? Could it be because most official institutions work hand in hand to supress the truth? ....
The CIA Confirms There’s Extraterrestrial Activity on Our Planet
The CIA Confirms There’s Extraterrestrial Activity on Our Planet
A wave of recently declassified UFO files and statements of high rank officials are slowly turning the UFO phenomenon into reality.
Believing that we are the only civilization in the physical Universe – which scientifically speaking is infinite – shows not only an immense ego, but also an unfathomable ignorance. But what happens when high rank officials
On December 2012, the Russian prime-minister Dimitri Medvedev gave a live interview aired simultaneously on five television channels. After that, the Russian ex-president revealed to a journalist that every leader of the Kremlin is handed two folders with classified information regarding the visit of extraterrestrial beings.
At that time, Medvedev’s statement was a worldwide premiere, since it was the first time when a high level official publicly acknowledged the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations during the presidential mandate.
A riveting news article was published in 1980 in the “Sputnik” magazine about the perceptions and experiences of UFOs. This article contains reports from ten Soviet and American astronauts. Only one of these astronauts refused the possibility of UFOs getting in and out of our galaxy.
Ievgheni Krunov declared that it’s actually impossible to deny the presence of UFOs, and we should admit that these are more than simple optical illusions, even some of their characteristics like the rapid change of flight course at a 90 degrees angle offers us a lot of food for thought.
Astronaut Ghenadi Strekalov mentioned that he witnessed numerous strange and inexplicable phenomena, but hesitates to classify these events in any way. Still, he described a phenomenon observed on September 28 1980, during his day shift on the Mir space station: a flying sphere above the Earth, at an altitude of 20-30 km, around Newfoundland. The atmosphere was clear and the visibility was perfect, so he could watch for about 10 seconds how the sphere was shifting beautiful vivid colors, and afterwards disappearing almost instantly.
Strekalov remembered that the UFO had a perfect oval shape. He claimed that he reported the event to the Mission Control Center, but it did not classify as a UFO, concluding that he must be more precautious in the relation with his superiors.
According to publicly released documents, in the year of 1952 alone have been checked and confirmed over 100 UFO phenomena with no logical explanation, that were registered and labeled in the CIA archives as “inexplicable”.
“Almost 100 believable confessions remain inexplicable at the moment. However, the CIA monitoring will continue and no reports will be made public.”, the report notes.
To the disappointment of ufologists around the world, the declassification of those 10 documents coincides with the relaunch of the “X Files” series and apparently those documents do not contain any information regarding crashed UFOs, encounters or kidnappings.
According to the CIA spokesman, the organization believes that the public will find the information extremely fascinating:
“We have decided to release to publicity a few files that even the most skeptical individuals will find appealing. Five of these files are fit for “X Files” agent Fox Mulder, but the other 5 files are perfect for his skeptical partner, agent Dana Scully.”
Conspiracy theorists believe that CIA’s decision to make these documents public does not coincide with the relaunch of the new X Files series, but rather are an attempt to warm-up the audience for later disclosures.
“Apparently, the CIA used the rebirth of the X Files franchise to remind the people that the agency has agents investigating these cases.”, declares Stephen Basset, executive director of Paradigm Research Group, an organization that militates at the White House in order for the government of the United States to admit that aliens are real.
If the world will eventually accept the UFO reality we are yet to find out, but hopefully it won’t take long until our governments will spill the beans about the existence of extraterrestrials.
HET WARE EN COMPLETE VERHAAL VAN ATLANTIS ( VIDEO )
HET WARE EN COMPLETE VERHAAL VAN ATLANTIS ( VIDEO )
Alles wat je ooit op school is verteld over de geschiedenis van onze aarde kun je bij deze vergeten.
Er is al veel geschreven en gespeculeerd over Atlantis, maar het werkelijke verhaal is, letterlijk, nooit boven water gekomen. Tot nu.
Het is nog niet eens zo gek lang geleden dat er een vergevorderde beschaving bestond op deze aarde.
De naam van die beschaving was Atlantis.
Er is natuurlijk al veel over geschreven en vooral gespeculeerd, maar nog nooit eerder heeft iemand het werkelijke verhaal kunnen vertellen. Tot nu.
Om dat verhaal te kunnen vertellen, is gebruik gemaakt van een techniek die remote viewing wordt genoemd.
Voor diegenen die nog niet weten wat remote viewing inhoudt, navolgend een korte samenvatting uit een eerder artikel: Remote viewing is het (red.:het woord paranormaal halen we hier weg omdat we dat eigenlijk niet meer van toepassing vinden. Het gaat namelijk om een voor iedereen fysiek aanwezige en toegankelijke gave) vermogen om plaatsen, personen en gebeurtenissen waar te nemen die zich niet binnen het bereik van de (ons algemeen bekende) zintuigen bevinden. De CIA en het Amerikaanse leger vonden remote viewing (zien op afstand) geloofwaardig genoeg om miljoenen Dollars van de belastingsbetalers uit te geven aan dit project.
Eén van de meest bekende instellingen die zich met remote viewing bezighoudt is het Farsight Institute onder leiding van Courtney Brown.
Zij zijn erin geslaagd om door middel van remote viewing uit te vinden wat er precies is gebeurd met die beschaving.
De bevolking van Atlantis is niet het slachtoffer geworden van een natuurramp zoals vaak wordt aangenomen, maar van het onverantwoordelijk gebruiken van hun eigen wetenschap. Hierdoor hebben ze hun eigen beschaving vernietigd.
Slechte enkele duizenden mensen hebben deze ramp destijds overleefd en het gevolg van dat alles is dat wij afstammelingen zijn van deze groep overlevenden.
Dit alles is het resultaat van een onderzoek waarbij gebruik werd gemaakt van remote viewing, onderwatergegevens zoals die zijn verzameld door de Amerikaanse overheid, een deel genetische kennis en een flinke dosis “outside the box” denken.
Aan dit project is deelgenomen door enkele van de beste ex militaire remote viewers op aarde en hierdoor zijn we eindelijk in staat om het werkelijke verhaal van de ondergang van Atlantis te doorgronden.
Vergeet alles wat je ooit is verteld op school. Alles wat je vandaag de dag ziet aan technologische ontwikkeling bestond al veel eerder op aarde.
Toen had dit alles nu niet bepaald een happy end en als we doorgaan op de huidige koers dan verloopt ons verhaal net zo dramatisch.
Daarom moeten wij dit keer leren van onze fouten uit het verleden. Om dat te kunnen doen, moeten we wel weten wat er eerder is gebeurd en niet toestaan dat onze werkelijke geschiedenis wordt gecensureerd.
Vandaag kun je beginnen met ontdekken hoe onze geschiedenis werkelijk in elkaar steekt.
VIDEO: “Voor de kust van Californië zit een onderzeese UFO-basis verborgen”
VIDEO: “Voor de kust van Californië zit een onderzeese UFO-basis verborgen”
Toen schrijver en onderzoeker Preston Dennett in een programma van History Channel over UFO’s in en rond het water was te zien, werd hij overspoeld met e-mails en brieven van nieuwe getuigen.
Hij kwam erachter dat de zuidelijke kust van Californië in dit opzicht één van de meest actieve gebieden is. Meldingen gaan terug tot de jaren veertig en blijven tot op de dag van vandaag binnenstromen.
Na jarenlang onderzoek is Dennett tot de conclusie gekomen dat er een UFO-basis verscholen ligt bij Santa Catalina Island, voor de Pacifische kust. In deze video presenteert hij de resultaten van zijn onderzoek naar zogeheten USO’s (unidentified submerged objects).
Volgens Dennett, die 16 boeken en meer dan 100 artikelen op zijn naam heeft staan, is er bewijs dat de overheid USO’s in de gaten houdt en informatie over dit onderwerp onder de pet houdt. Hij laat ook foto’s zien van UFO’s en USO’s.
Ook UFO-expert Michael Luckman, voorzitter van het New York Center for Extraterrestrial Research, is ervan overtuigd dat vlak voor de kust van Californië een onderzeese basis van aliens zit. Hij wil een expeditie op poten zetten om op zoek te gaan naar de onderwateraliens. Luckman wist al enkele geldschieters te strikken voor zijn onderneming.
Lobbyist: “President Obama gaat nog dit jaar bekendmaken dat de aarde is bezocht door aliens”
Lobbyist: “President Obama gaat nog dit jaar bekendmaken dat de aarde is bezocht door aliens”
President Barack Obama gaat voor het eind van zijn ambtstermijn onthullen dat intelligente aliens bestaan en de aarde hebben bezocht. Dat stelt een Amerikaanse lobbyist in gesprek met de Britse Daily Express.
Steven Bassett, directeur van de Paradigm Research Group, lobbyt al meer dan 20 jaar. Hij wil dat het Witte Huis open kaart speelt. In een interview met de krant in Londen zegt de 69-jarige Bassett ervan overtuigd te zijn dat 2016 het jaar is waarin de meest historische aankondiging ooit wordt gedaan.
Bassett ziet het al helemaal voor zich: “Dit jaar zal op de voorpagina van alle kranten ter wereld staan dat we niet alleen zijn. Het belangrijkste nieuwsbericht dat ooit naar buiten is gekomen.”
‘Stel haar de volgende keer vragen over aliens!’
De lobbyist denkt dat zijn werk nu eindelijk vruchten zal afwerpen. Maar waarom het jaar 2016? Eerder dit jaar zei presidentskandidaat Hillary Clinton dat ze het UFO-mysterie tot op de bodem gaat uitzoeken als ze in het Witte Huis belandt.
Haar campagnemanager John Podesta zei openlijk dat topgeheime UFO-stukken moeten worden vrijgegeven. In februari 2015 twitterde de voormalig beleidsadviseur van Obama: “Mijn grootste mislukking van 2014: wederom niet gelukt de UFO-stukken naar buiten te brengen.”
In september 2015 twitterde Podesta over een interview dat Clinton had met een journalist: “Stel haar de volgende keer vragen over aliens!” In maart dit jaar schreef de Daily Express over de betrokkenheid van Clinton bij het Rockefeller Initiative van Laurance Rockefeller in de jaren negentig, dat gericht was op het naar buiten brengen van gevoelige informatie over dit onderwerp.

Bassett denkt echter niet dat Clinton de president zal zijn die de aankondiging gaat doen. Sterker nog, hij denkt niet dat ze de volgende president zal worden.
Waarheidsembargo
Hij is er zeker van dat wereldleiders na het Roswellincident in New Mexico een ‘waarheidsembargo’ opgelegd hebben gekregen om te voorkomen dat de waarheid over buitenaards bezoek naar buiten zou komen.
“Na Roswell werd dit waarheidsembargo opgelegd onder Truman,” zei Bassett. “Andere landen en internationale media stemden ermee in.”
Nu Clinton in de mainstream media al enkele maanden openlijk spreekt over aliens, wordt het waarheidsembargo doorbroken door Amerikaanse kranten, aldus de lobbyist. Het Witte Huis kan het volgens hem niet veel langer meer geheim houden.
Best bewaarde geheim ter wereld
Bassett is er zeker van dat aliens bestaan en ontmoetingen hebben gehad met wereldleiders op aarde. Hij zegt dat dit het best bewaarde geheim ter wereld is.
“De bekendmaking vindt dit jaar plaats,” zei Bassett stellig. “Ik weet niet zeker wie de verkiezingen gaat winnen, maar ik denk dat Obama het gaat aankondigen. Ik ben er 85 procent zeker van dat Obama de aankondiging zal doen voordat hij het Witte Huis verlaat. Enkele dagen later zal de Britse premier Cameron volgen.”
Bassett meent dat het waarheidsembargo ook van kracht is in landen als Rusland en China. Hij vindt het vreemd dat president Poetin nooit heeft geprobeerd de waarheid naar buiten te brengen.
“Ik probeer Obama hiertoe te dwingen,” besloot Bassett. “En ik denk dat dat gaat lukken.”

Glowing UFO Makes Drones Over Uttar Pradesh, India On May 20, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 20, 2016 Location of sighting: Uttar Pradesh, India This UFO was seen over India yesterday and it has an appearance of a burning tail like a meteor, but the tail is actually similar size cubes. This is a drone maker. This ship was sent to earth and then creates drones to spread out across the sky in the clouds. I have reported them doing this over Japan during the daytime a four years ago. Really amazing catch. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
This UFO was found on an Australian cam by Streetcap1 of Youtube. It shows the side view of a large green glowing disk moving over the mountains. These live cams are excellent tools for all UFO researcher because they allow the person to be everywhere at once. In 5 minutes, you can check 100 cams. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Streetcap1States: Check this out on the LINK before the Movie changes. This is the Station that has a constant Laser firing into Space, as per my recent videos. Why would you have a laser firing into space - to attract ufos of course. Streetcap1.
Unidentified Flying Object is not readily recognizable to our naked eyes, but they are common these days because many people come forward to report their alleged sightings. A UFO was caught on the radar, and the two former radar technicians on the field came forward to report it. These claims were recorded in a new documentary known as the UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed. As named in the title, the documentary makes a statement that aliens have an interest in all the nuclear facilities. It supports the claims of the military witnesses and government documents that claim the alien presence in the nuclear storage areas and nuclear weapons.
The encounter took place at the Royal Air Force Base Bentwaters, in which the radar technicians were involved. During that time, U.S. military leased the bases. The incident commenced on December 26, 1980, when the lights were observed in the forest, and two policemen were requested to investigate. A mysterious object with strange lights was reported coming on their way. The men who approached the object described it as a triangular-shaped extraterrestrial vessel hovering above the forest. It moved to the treetop at a fast speed after watching it for a few minutes.
Nights later, the alleged lights came back. However, this time, Charles Halt, the Deputy Base Commander took with him a team of security law-enforcement officers to investigate. Soon after, they reported a red light with an eyeball-shaped move through the forest. It splits into five disc-shaped objects before they flew. Afterward, they saw another disc-shaped object hovering towards them. It stopped, flying above them with a shot of laser-like beam that lasted a few seconds. According to the documentary, when RAF Bentwaters became the largest American tactical nuclear bomb depot resides in Europe. Afterward, he conducted research to find the one who has been in the RAF Bentwaters control tower during that time. As incredible as this sighting sounds, the documentary covers the present documents obtained from the former Soviet Union that show the same events happened there.

Whimsical cloud vortices dot the sky in a new satellite image of an island volcano.
The shot, captured by the Operational Land Imager on the Landsat 8 satellite, shows eddies in the air near Mawson Peak on Heard Island. The island is in the Indian Ocean and belongs to Australia. At 9,006 feet (2,745 meters), Mawson Peak is the island's highest point, according to NASA's Earth Observatory, which released the image May 8. [See Images of Some of the Weirdest Clouds]
Heard Island is off the beaten path, to say the least. It's nearly 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) from Australia and more than 600 miles (1,000 km) from Antarctica. But wildlife finds refuge on Heard Island and the islands that surround it. According to the Australian government, four penguin species make their home in the island group, living alongside 15 species of breeding birds, including albatross and petrol. Southern elephant seals, Antarctic fur seals and subantarctic fur seals also use the islands as breeding grounds.
Heard Island is about 24 miles (40 km) long, and growing: Fresh lava has been flowing from Big Ben, the volcano whose highest peak is Mount Mawson, since at least the 1980s. What isn't dominated by fire is covered in ice: According to the Australian government, 70 percent of Heard Island is permanently glaciated.
None of that is visible under the cloud cover in the new image, which was taken May 3. What is visible are the disrupted air patterns caused by Mawson Peak. The clear circles are called von Kármán vortices after the physicist who first described them.
Mawson Peak is the highest point on Heard Island in the Indian Ocean.

It's not the first time satellite imagery has revealed such patterns. In 2012, NASA released a shot of Saint Helena, a volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, featuring similar vortices. They also appear in a shot of Guadalupe in the Pacific taken that same year.
Heard Island is in the "Furious 50s," latitudes known for their strong westerly winds. In short, according to the Australian government, the island is cold, cloudy, wet and windy. Vortices aren't the only cloud formations seen downwind of Big Ben's peaks, either. Cap clouds, which are dome-shaped cloud formations, are sometimes seen hovering over the tops of mountains. UFO-shaped lenticular clouds and twirling roll or rotor clouds (so named because they seem to roll along a horizontal axis, like a barrel down a hill) also form in the turbulent atmosphere above the island.
In March, Clinton — the presumptive nominee for the Democratic nomination for president — went on Jimmy Kimmel Live and said she’ll do her best to delve into government files surrounding possible UFO sightings.
“I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that public as possible. If there’s nothing there, let’s tell people there’s nothing there,” Clinton said on Kimmel’s show.
“If there is something there, unless it’s a threat to national security, I think we ought to share it with the public.”
Clinton isn’t alone in her curiosity about aliens on Earth.
According to one poll released in 2012 and conducted by the company Kelton Research, about 36 percent of the United States population believes in UFOs.
“This is not a fringe thing,” SETI Institute astronomer Seth Shostak told Mashable in an interview.
The Central Intelligence Agency has released a full database of public UFO files, yet the interest in a possible government conspiracy still hasn’t died down.
If Clinton is chosen as the nominee and eventually elected as president, she will join a list of presidents who also have thoughts about UFOs, and even their own sightings to share.
Harry Truman
One of the main incidents that sparked UFO fever in the United States happened during Harry Truman’s presidency in the 1940s.
In 1947, an object crashed near Roswell, New Mexico sparking years of UFO conspiracy theories that have persisted through today. After initial media reports classified the object found in Roswell as a “flying saucer,” the U.S. military claimed it was actually a weather balloon.
In fact, the piece of debris appears to have been part of a project called “Project Mogul” designed to spy on Soviet Union nuclear tests, according to the History Channel.
For his part, Truman joked about flying saucers with the media at least once, according to a transcript of a press conference from July 10, 1947.
When asked if he had seen any flying saucers by a reporter Truman said, “Only in the newspapers,” joking after a follow up, “did you ever hear of the moon hoax?”
Jimmy Carter
Former president Jimmy Carter has a very personal relationship with the controversy surrounding UFOs.
Carter has opened up about a UFO sighting he experienced while in Georgia, in 1969 before his presidency began.
“I was outside a school lunch room one night right before sundown. It was getting dark and we were getting ready to eat supper. And I and about 25 men were standing around and all of a sudden in the western sky we saw a strange light coming toward us, a round light,” Carter said on Larry King Live.
“It got closer and closer and right above the pine trees it stopped and then it began to change colors from blue, to red, to white. Then it stayed there for a while. We were all aghast. We didn’t know what it was. And then it just disappeared into the west. That was the end of it.”
Carter didn’t attribute the event to some kind of alien encounter, however.
“I have never thought and still don’t think it is possible for creatures from Mars to visit us and then come back home,” he added.
"Carter made a request through his science advisor Frank Press in 1977 asking NASA to look into UFOs, Even though the request came from the highest office in the land, NASA declined," Kean told Mashable via email.
"This shows that even presidents can not always get information about some topics."
According to an account by pilot Bill Paynter, Reagan was flying in a plane with Paynter and others when they say a “big light flying a bit behind the plane.”
That light then accelerated to a high speed and flew off.
Paynter didn’t file a report, but, according to Alexander, the pilot and Reagan would talk about the UFO experience.
Alexander also said that Reagan discussed the UFO sighting with a reporter at the Wall Street Journal.
"We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light. We followed it to Bakersfield and all of a sudden, to our utter amazement, it went straight up into the heavens,” according to Alexander’s book.
Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton’s husband and former president Bill Clinton, also spoke out about his thoughts regarding aliens and UFOs on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2014.
Bill said that he looked into the truth about Area 51 when he was president and had “all the Roswell papers reviewed,” anticipating that the White House would get a lot of letters on the anniversary of the Roswell incident.
“First I had people go look at the records on Area 51 to make sure there was no alien down there,” Clinton said during the appearance.
“People thought that because everyone who works there has to stop about an hour away and put on special clothing and then drive in and out, and that’s because a lot of our stealth technology is made there. We know that now, but there are no aliens there.”
Bill Clinton is a space geek when it comes to science in general as well.
On that same appearance with Kimmel, Clinton waxed a little poetic about how there is, in fact, a good chance that life in some form exists out in the universe. Clinton said that there are plenty of planets outside of our solar system that could potentially support life.
“It makes it increasingly less likely that we’re alone,” Clinton said.
Barack Obama
President Barack Obama has commented on possible alien conspiracy theories a few times during his presidency and even during his campaign.
Most of Obama’s comments about possible UFOs or aliens tend to be on the joking side or are used as an attempt to pivot back to issues affecting people living on Earth now.
For instance, during a 2007 debate, presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich was asked about a somewhat bizarre story involving his report of seeing a UFO.
When Obama was asked his thoughts pertaining to “life beyond Earth” on the heels of that story, he said “I don’t know and I don’t presume to know. What I know is there is life here on Earth and that we’re not attending to life here on Earth.”
“People always ask me about Roswell and the aliens and UFOs, and it turns out the stuff going on that’s top secret isn’t nearly as exciting as you expect,” Obama said during the interview. “In this day and age, it’s not as top secret as you’d think.”
In 2013, during Obama’s presidency, the government also declassified more than 60 documents from the 1960s and 1970s about goings on at Area 51, according toSpace.com.

Billions of Years Ago, Mega-Tsunamis Washed Across Mars
Billions of Years Ago, Mega-Tsunamis Washed Across Mars
ESO
IN BRIEF
A new study shows that Mars was wracked by huge tsunamis 3.4 billion years ago. These hypersaline seas may have stayed liquid even at subfreezing temperatures—creating a promising environment for life.
SURF’S UP
Roughly 3.4 billion years ago, a giant meteorite smacked into the northern plains of Mars. Not too surprising, perhaps, considering the crater-strewn surface of the Red Planet, which is a familiar sight to anyone who consults the Martian maps put out by the NASA’s Viking Orbiters.
However, the aftermath of the impact is surprising. It triggered a mega-tsunami.
That’s right—a massive wave scoured the Martian surface, leaving a permanent imprint of the ancient catastrophe and leaving evidence for us to find…evidence of a cold, salty oceans (which may once have harbored life).
The work was published yesterday in Nature Scientific Reports, and it also shows that another impact—a few million years after the first—created a second mega-tsunami.

The two tsunamis had estimated onshore wave heights of up to 120 m (almost 400 ft)! And likely washed several hundred kilometers inland. For comparison, the wave that struck Japan in 2011 was just 39 meters ( 128 ft).
“The tsunamis could have been triggered by bolide impacts, which about every 3 million years, generated marine impact craters approximately 30 kilometers in diameter. Thus, the proposed tsunami events likely took place a few millions years apart,” said study coauthor Thomas Platz.
A COLD OCEAN ON A COLD WORLD
In the millions of years that elapsed between the two impacts and their consequent tsunamis, Mars’ climate underwent a rapid deep-freeze. The Martian ocean seems to have largely frozen over, shrinking the shoreline significantly.
“The older tsunami emplaced enormous boulder-rich deposits and as the wave retreated back into the ocean it formed widespread backwash channels,” explains J. Alexis Palmero Rodriguez, lead author of the study and Senior Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute.
The second tsunami, however, formed great lobes of ice where it reached its maximum extent, where the water froze and never returned to the mother ocean. These lobes largely retain the boundaries they had when they froze, and still have their “flow-related” shapes, which means they might still contain frozen and emplaced materials from that ancient ocean—a time capsule, of sorts, filled with fossil remnants of ancient Mars.

They would be a perfect target for a future geological lander on the Red Planet; in fact, some of the features are very close to the old Mars Pathfinder site, so no dramatically new technologies are required to reach them.
It’s thought that the ancient Martian ocean was extremely salty, which means that, even in subfreezing temperatures, it likely remained liquid. Such hypersaline environments are known to be habitable in terrestrial seas, so these “icy lobes” might be a perfect place to search for evidence of past life.
“Subfreezing briny aqueous environments are known to be habitable environments on Earth, and consequently, some of the tsunami deposits might be prime astrobiological targets,” says study coauthor Alberto Fairén, principal investigator at the Center for Astrobiology, Spain.
It seems like everyone is talking about the extraterrestrial question these days. Humanity has always wondered, “are we alone?” and a new study seeks to answer that question scientifically, arguing that, not only are we not alone, but we never have been, and there are most likely a number of different intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations out there right now.
The study, published in Astrobiologyand written by Adam Frank and Woodruff Sullivan from the Universities of Rochester and Washington, respectively, used the recent discovery of dozens of exoplanets to hypothesize on the likelihood of other technologically advanced civilizations existing. The study emphasizes that, unless the odds of advanced life evolving on a habitable planet are astonishingly low, then “human kind is not the universe’s first technological, or advanced, civilization.”
According to Frank:
The question of whether advanced civilizations exist elsewhere in the universe has always been vexed with three large uncertainties in the Drake equation. We’ve known for a long time approximately how many stars exist. We didn’t know how many of those stars had planets that could potentially harbor life, how often life might evolve and lead to intelligent beings, and how long any civilizations might last before becoming extinct.
Astrophysicist Frank Drake developed an equation in 1961 to estimate the number of advanced civilizations likely to exist in the Milky Way galaxy. The Drake equation (top row) has proven to be a valuable framework for research, though it is impossible to do anything more than guess at variables such as L, the probable longevity of other advanced civilizations. The equation is as you see below.
These researchers applied new exoplanet data to the universe’s 2 x 10 to the 22nd power stars, and found that human civilization is likely to be unique in the cosmos only if the odds of a civilization developing on a habitable planet are less than approximately one in 10 billion trillion, or one part in the 10th to the 22th power.
Frank went on to explain the implications of this discovery:
One in 10 billion trillion is incredibly small. To me, this implies that other intelligent, technology producing species very likely have evolved before us. Think of it this way. Before our result you’d be considered a pessimist if you imagined the probability of evolving a civilization on a habitable planet were, say, one in a trillion. But even that guess, one chance in a trillion, implies that what has happened here on Earth with humanity has in fact happened about a 10 billion other times over cosmic history!
Other scientists have also been weighing in for some time now. A couple of years ago, two top astronomers from the SETI Institute (Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence) appeared in front of the congressional House Science and Technology Committee for a hearing regarding the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. They told the committee that extraterrestrial life most certainly exists, and that discovering life on other planets is not only inevitable, but will most likely occur within the next 20 years:
In the last 50 years, evidence has steadily mounted that the components and conditions we believe necessary for life are common and perhaps ubiquitous in our galaxy. The possibility that life has arisen elsewhere, and perhaps evolved intelligence, is plausible and warrants scientific inquiry. . . . If you extrapolate on the planets they discovered, there are a trillion planets in the galaxy. That’s a lot of places for life. We know that the majority of stars have planets . . . [but what] fraction of stars has planets that are more like the earth? It might be one in five.
Scientists have already discovered billions of Earth-like planets in our Milky Way galaxy alone, and we would be foolish to think that planets must be just like our own in order to harbour life. Who knows what other kinds of lifeforms have developed, or what their essential conditions for life consist of? We cannot assume that other species will be just like ours.
Below is a great clip of Dr. Brian O’Leary, a NASA astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor, speaking in the Thrivedocumentary about extraterrestrials.
Just as the notion that aliens exist is gaining mainstream traction, so too is the idea that we have already been visited by them. We can attribute this shift largely to the recent official disclosure of the UFO phenomenon, which revealed that objects performing impossible maneuvers at impossible speeds that defy our known understanding of physics are commonly seen by trained observers (military personnel).
“There is another way, whether it’s wormholes, or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that [extraterrestrials are] here shows us that they found a way.”
– Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of Physics, University of Nebraska (source)
A declassified defence intelligence agency report details a classic encounter. Like many other encounters of this kind, the object is tracked on air and ground radar, and is confirmed visually by the pilots who are sent to investigate:
As the F-4 approached a range of 25 NM he lost all instrumentation and communications (UHF and intercom). He broke off the intercept and headed back to Shahrokhi. When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no longer a threat to it the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications. . . .
The object and the pursuing F-4 continued on a course to the south of Tehran when another brightly lighted object, estimated to be one half to one third the apparent size of the moon, came out of the original object. This second object headed straight toward the F-4 at a very fast rate of speed. The pilot attempted to fire an AIM-9 missile at the object but at that Instant his weapons control panel went off and he lost all communications (UHF and Interphone).(source)
Another classic example comes from the Chilean Air Force:
Two pilots on a training mission, each flying an F5 fighter aircraft, tracked the object on their airborne radar. It gave a return equal to ten or more aircraft carriers-except this object was in the air, not floating on the water. Each pilot assumed his radar equipment was faulty, until he learned that the other pilot was also getting the same return. Not only this, but ground radar from a nearby airport also picked up the object and confirmed its huge size. The pilots also saw the object with their own eyes. One pilot later said that at a distance of twenty miles, it looked “like a plantain banana swathed in smoke.” The pilots were frightened, having no missiles or weapons. As they approached the massive object, which had been motionless all this while, it took off at an unimaginable speed. All at once, it vanished from the three radar screens.(Huneeus, J, Antonio, “A Chilean Overview,” MUFON UFO Journal, 6/86; Huneeus, J. Antonio, “A Historical Survey of UFO Cases in Chilie,” MUFON 1987 International Symposium Proceedings (MUFON, 1987.)
On May 19, 1986, a large portion of Brazilian airspace was occupied by UFOs. The Brazilian airforce kept sending their jets to get a closer look at what they were picking up on radar. Here is a quote from the Brazilian Minister of Aeronautics, Brigadier General Otavio Moreira Lima:
At least 20 objects were detected by Brazilian radars. They saturated the radars and interrupted traffic in the area. Each time that radar detected unidentified objects, fighters took off for intercept. Radar detects only solid metallic bodies and heavy (mass) clouds. There were no clouds nor conventional aircraft in the region. The sky was clear. Radar doesn’t have optical illusions. We can only give technical explanations and we don’t have them. It would be very difficult for us to talk about the hypothesis of an electronic war. It’s very remote and it’s not the case here in Brazil. It’s fantastic. The signals on the radar were quite clear.(source)(Department of Defense JCS Message Center, Subject: B6/BAF Has a Close Encounter of the First Kind. Date: 20 May 86. Subject: Numerous Unidentified Objects Were Cited in the Skies over Brazil. But BAF Fighters Were Unable to Intercept Them. Berliner, Don, The UFO Briefing Document,p. 121-127. Huneeus, J. Antonio, “UFO Alert in Brazil,” MUFON UFO Journal, 11/86. Andrus, Walt, “UFOs Over Brazil,” MUFON UFO Journal, 9/86. Smith, Dr Willy, “The Brazillian Incident,” International UFO Reporter, 7-8/86. Smith, Dr. Willy, “More on Brazilian OVNIs,” MUFON UFO Journal, 9/86. )
These objects also cause equipment in the jets to malfunction. Many have reported this happening, including Dr. Jacques Vallee, notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA, and for his work at SRI International on the network information center for ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet. He published a paper in the Journal of Scientific Explorationtitled “Estimates of Optical Power Output in Six Cases Of Unexplained Aeriel Objects With Defined Luminosity Characteristics” which examines these occurrences.
“Behind the scenes, high ranking air force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that the unknown flying objects are nonsense.”
– Former Head of CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time.”
– Apollo 14 Astronaut, Air Force Captain, and Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dr. Edgar Mitchell (source) (source)
While these files only describe unidentified objects, the question of where these objects came from and who is flying them must inevitably arise. And indeed, defence intelligence agencies have also kept files on supposed extraterrestrial matters, a practice which demonstrates their interest in keeping tabs on this issue.
For example, here is an FBI document addressed to “certain scientists of distinction,” to “aeronautical and military authorities,” and to “a number of public officials.”
The document is a letter that was sent to the director of FBI in Washington from the San Fransisco office on a matter pertaining to UFOs & extraterrestrials:
“Lt. Colonel (name redacted) of G2 [G2 means army intelligence], San Francisco advised today he has no further information, and that our Seattle office is in possession of all information known by him and is handling the matter at Tacoma, Washington.”
The document goes on to provide a copy of a letter written by someone with “several university degrees” and a former “university department head.”
The memorandum also states that “the mere fact that the data herein were obtained by so-called ‘supernormal’ means is probably sufficient to insure its disregard by nearly all persons addressed.”
Key words to take note of: the fact that they would like to “insure its disregard” by “nearly” everyone addressed.Does this mean that ‘some’ of the people addressed should not disregard it?
The letter goes on to outline the following: (pages 21 & 22)
Part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control.
Their mission is peaceful, the visitors contemplate settling on this planet.
These visitors are human-like but much larger in size.
They are not excarnate Earth people, but come from their own world
The disks posses some type of radiant energy.
They do not come from any “planet” as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us.
The bodies of the visitors, and the craft also, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter.
They re-enter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without trace.
The region they come from is NOT the astral plane, but corresponds to the Lakas or Talas. Students of esoteric matters will understand these terms.
Then we have cases like what happened in Zimbabwe many years ago, when more than 60 school children witnessed a craft landing and what appeared to be non-humanoid beings exit it. The event led a Harvard professor to conclude that extraterrestrial contact is indeed happening. It’s quite an amazing story and you can read more about it HERE. To this day, these children, now adults, maintain that they were telling the truth.
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after.”
– Former Canadian Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer (source)
These are just a few out of many reasons why so many people believe extraterrestrials exist.
PRESIDENT Barack Obama will reveal to the world intelligent aliens exist and have visited Earth before the end of his final term, according to a US lobbyist.
President Obama will announce this year aliens exist, according to Paradigm Research Group
Steve Bassett, executive director of the Paradigm Research Group, is the only registered "alien disclosure" lobbyist in the United States and has been campaigning for the White House to come clean about what it really knows for the past 20 years.
In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, the 69-year-old set out why he is convinced 2016 will be the year for the world's most historic ever announcement.
There was an air of excitement about Mr Bassett as he arrived at the Daily Express offices in London during a visit to the UK and Europe to gather international support for a 20-year mission.
He was clutching a mock-up Daily Express front page he created with the words "We Are Not Alone" over the face of an alien as the top story.
He said: "This will be a reality this year and across the front pages of newspapers across the world. The most significant news story that has ever been broken."
Mr Bassett is convinced his two decades of work are about to bear fruit.
So why 2016?
A media storm has slowly been brewing on both sides of the Atlantic.
The presidential hopeful pledged to send a task force into the mysterious Area 51 military base in Nevada, where UFO conspiracists believe evidence of alien technology is hidden away, should she win office.
Her campaign manager John Podesta also spoke publicly about their bid to release top-secret UFO files.
But, in the background before this Camp Clinton had been making other moves.
Twenty-two months after Bill Clinton left office Mr Podesta called for the release of all UFO files to the public on October 22, 2002 at the National Press Club and did the same there a year later.
In 2010 Mr Podesta restated his desire for disclosure in a foreword to the book UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record by Leslie Kean.
In February 2015 Mr Podesta tweeted: "My biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the "disclosure of the UFO files."
On September 29 2015 Mr Podesta tweeted about a reporter's interview with Mrs Clinton, saying: "Ask her about aliens next time! #thetruthisoutthere."
Mr Bassett believes Mrs Clinton and Mr Podesta know or strongly suspect aliens are real, and her campaigning on the subject is to make sure she is seen to be at the heart of it when the disclosure comes.
But he is not convinced she will be the president to make the announcement or even make it into office.
International UFO media coverage on the Paradigm Research Group website
The so-called disclosure movement are convinced that world leaders agreed a "truth embargo" on preventing the truth of alien visitations coming out after a legendary "flying saucer crash" in the New Mexico desert decades ago.
Roswell has been at the heart of the UFO myth since July 1947 when the military sensationally announced it had found the remains of a crashed flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico.
Next day, it retracted this, saying it was a damaged weather balloon.
Witnesses later came forward to say there had been alien bodies within the "crashed craft", which along with wreckage were taken to Area 51.
Mr Bassett said: "After Roswell the truth embargo was put in place under Truman, led by the US, but the UK Government and other countries agreed to it."
International media organisations also agreed to be bound by it, he believes.
He now firmly believes after Camp Clinton raised the alien issue in mainstream media for several months, the truth embargo is now being breached by US newspapers.
He feels these media outlets would not have touched the story just a few months ago, and the White House will now no longer be able to contain the secret.
Mr Bassett is convinced aliens are real and have engaged with world leaders on Earth, but it has been the globe's best kept secret.
This is despite never having seen a completely inexplicable UFO or alien being.
But he feels the actions of Mrs Clinton and Mr Podesta go a long way to proving it.
He said: "The only circumstance under which a leading presidential candidate, her president husband and their common advisor would repeatedly speak to the extraterrestrial phenomena issue during a campaign, is when their collective brain trust is fully aware the extraterrestrial presence is fact.
"This simple exercise in logical deduction confirms why a media tsunami the height of the Washington Monument is heading toward the truth embargo's beach.
"ET is real, we have got beyond that.
"We are going to get disclosure this year. I am not sure who will win the election, but I think Obama will be the disclosure president.
"He will be looking at a Nobel Prize for making an announcement like that. I am 85 per cent sure Obama will make the announcement before he leaves office and within days your Prime Minister David Cameron will follow."
Mr Bassett believes that super powers Russia and China and other nations are in on the "truth embargo" swell, and he is puzzled as to why Russian President Vladimir Putin has never sought to reveal the truth to the world as he is not within the "US agenda".
But Mr Bassett refuted any suggestions he is backing Mrs Clinton for political reasons.
He said: "I am not trying to get Hillary Clinton elected, I just constantly send stuff to her and Mr Podesta."
Mr Bassett and his supporters have been buoyed by the campaigning of Camp Clinton, as it has led to White House press secretary Josh Earnest facing tough grillings from reportersabout the alien issue at the last two press briefings.
Mr Bassett said: "I am trying to force Obama to make the disclosure. I think we are going to get there.
According to Stephen Basset, a leading UFO disclosure lobbyist, there is reason to believe that President Barack Obama is “on the brink” of making an earthshaking UFO and extra-terrestrial (ET) disclosure announcement before he leaves office at the end of his term.
Stephen Bassett, 69, the executive director of U.S.-based Paradigm Research Group (PRG), believes that following Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s UFO and alien disclosure campaign promise, President Obama has come under pressure and he is on the brink of caving in to the pressure by making an announcement to the world before he leaves office that intelligent extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth before.
According to U.K.’s the Daily Express, Mr. Bassett, “the only registered ‘alien disclosure’ lobbyist in the U.S,” has spearheaded a UFO disclosure campaign spanning two decades. His organization has lobbied members of Congress and the executive branch of government to declassify all files on UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
In a recent interview with the Daily Express, Bassett, bubbling with optimism, said recent developments have led members of the UFO disclosure movement to the conviction that their efforts over the decades are about to bear fruit.
He said he believes that Obama will make historic announcement to Americans and the world this year that “we are not alone,” and that the U.S. government knows that aliens exist having made contact in the past with extraterrestrial intelligence.
“This [UFO Disclosure] will be a reality this year and across the front pages of newspapers across the world. The most significant news story that has ever been broken,” he said.
Explaining the basis of his optimism that 2016 will be the year of full ET and UFO disclosure, Bassett said that more people are taking interest in UFO and ET issues. The mainstream media has also been covering UFO and ET-related issues more extensively recently. The apparent impact of increased public interest and media coverage has been that for the first time in the history of the country, a presidential candidate, the Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, has made UFO disclosure a campaign issue.
The Inquisitrreported in January of 2016 that the former secretary of state promised members of the UFO and ET disclosure movement that if elected president of the United States of America, she would “get to the bottom” of the mystery about what the government knows about UFOs and ETs.
“I think we may have been visited already. We don’t know for sure.”
She said she would push for release of all classified government records and files on UFOs and Area 51, the remote Air Force base in Nevada where, according to members of the UFO community, the government is keeping alien technology recovered from UFO crash sites.
Clinton reiterated her commitment to the UFO disclosure during a recent late night TV interview with Jimmy Kimmel. She said that if elected as president, she would try to open all classified UFO files provided that the move does not compromise national security.
Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta, well-known in UFO circles as an enthusiast, also confirmed in a number of interviews that he has spoken with Clinton about the issue of UFO disclosure and secured her commitment to push for UFO disclosure if elected president.
Podesta had called for the release of all classified UFO files at a National Press Club meeting in 2002. He tweeted famously in February, 2015, after he left his position as special adviser to President Obama, saying, “My biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the disclosure of the UFO files.”
In the interview with the Express, Bassett implied that the decision by Clinton and her campaign manager, Podesta, to bring up the issue of UFO disclosure as part of their campaign platform indicates behind-the-scene developments that could lead to full disclosure. He implied that Clinton has come out openly about the issue because she knows something that other Americans don’t — that full disclosure is inevitable and imminent.
Clinton’s campaigning on a UFO disclosure platform, according to Bassett, is part of efforts to position herself so that she can be part of the UFO disclosure breakthrough when it happens.
The Express’s Jon Austin reports Bassett said, “The only circumstance under which a leading presidential candidate, her president husband and their common advisor would repeatedly speak to the extraterrestrial phenomena issue during a campaign, is when their collective brain trust is fully aware the extraterrestrial presence is fact.”
But Bassett said he was convinced that Clinton would not be the president to make the historic announcement. He said he was convinced that Obama would make the announcement before he leaves office.
“We are going to get disclosure this year. I am not sure who will win the election, but I think Obama will be the disclosure president,” he said. “He will be looking at a Nobel Prize for making an announcement like that. I am 85 percent sure Obama will make the announcement before he leaves office and within days your Prime Minister David Cameron will follow.”
Mr. Bassett is among members of the UFO disclosure movement who believe that the U.S. government has had contact with aliens in the past.
The Inquistirreported in April that some members of the UFO community believe that President Dwight Eisenhower concluded treaties with certain alien races, such as the Grays.
He reportedly held a secret “First Contact Meeting” with ET visitors during the early hours of February 21, 1954, at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California. A series of follow-up meetings led to the signing of a treaty between the U.S. movement and the Gray aliens.
Bassett went on to claim that he believes that the reason why other governments around the world have not made UFO and ET disclosures independently is that following the famous incident at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, when U.S. authorities reportedly recovered a crashed alien UFO from a ranch near the town, governments around the world agreed to a “truth embargo.”
And despite the fact that several private individuals who witnessed the crash or had spoken with witnesses came forward over the decades to make critical disclosures, the “truth embargo” has remained in place.
However, Bassett could not explain why President Vladimir Putin of Russia has not attempted to get a jump on the Americans by making the announcement on his own.
He said that with Clinton’s campaign promise to work towards full disclosure and the increasing willingness of the media to talk about it, Obama is under pressure and he would likely make the disclosure himself before he leaves office.

‘ASTEROID BUSTER’ UFO TOOK DOWN HUGE FIREBALL OVER NORTHEAST U.S., CONSPIRACY THEORISTS CLAIM [VIDEO]
‘ASTEROID BUSTER’ UFO TOOK DOWN HUGE FIREBALL OVER NORTHEAST U.S., CONSPIRACY THEORISTS CLAIM [VIDEO]
UFO hunters have made the bizarre claim that analysis of video footage showing a huge fireball that streaked over the skies of Northeast U.S. on May 17, 2016, reveals that two objects entered the Earth’s atmosphere on May 17, 2016, and not one as widely thought.
The presence of a second smaller object was confirmed by the American Meteor Society (AMS). But AMS insisted that the second object was a fragment of the bigger object.
However, UFO hunters claim that the second object appears to have been an “asteroid buster” alien UFO that zoomed in on the huge fireball and impacted on it. The mystery object deployed by “friendly aliens” blasted the huge fireball to pieces to prevent a catastrophic impact with Earth, according to conspiracy theorists.
Although most witnesses in Northeast U.S. — mostly in Maine — reported seeing only a single huge fireball streaking across the skies and disintegrating in a spectacular explosion at about 12:50 a.m. EDT (4:50 UT), the American Meteor Society confirmed that two objects, not one, entered the Earth’s atmosphere on May 17, 2016, over the Northeast U.S.
UFO conspiracy theorists immediately seized upon the information, claiming that the second, smaller object was, in fact, an alien UFO that homed in on the threatening space rock and blasted it to pieces.
AMS says that it received more than 700 reports from witnesses across Northeast U.S. on May 17, 2016. Reports came mostly from Maine, but the fireball was also seen over New Hampshire, New Jersey, Vermont, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
There were also reports of sightings from Ontario and Quebec in Canada.
According to YouTube conspiracy theorist Nemesis Maturity in a video uploaded online on May 19, 2016, it is clear from the footage that two objects entered the Earth’s atmosphere: a large glowing object and a smaller one that appeared to follow the larger object in its trajectory over Northeast U.S.
The smaller object eventually hit the larger object at the moment it appeared it would impact and cause major devastation.
The impact caused the massive explosion witnesses reported seeing across the region, conspiracy theorists claim.
Footage uploaded online by AMS on May 17, captured by a security camera at the Burlington International Airport, South Burlington, Vermont, appears to show a second, smaller object trailing the huge fireball. It shows the fireball exploding as it plunges earthward.
Nemesis Maturity reports that after UFO researchers analyzed the footage, they concluded the second object may have been an alien UFO that impacted on the threatening rock and blasted it to pieces before it could crash to Earth.
“The meteorite that exploded over Northeastern US was hit by an unknown object causing it to explode before it crashed down…”
Although many UFO enthusiasts supported the apparently far-fetched conclusion, several skeptics ridiculed UFO hunters.
“What a bunch of b*lls**t, that was just a fragment of the rock that disintegrated during entry.”
“The ‘extraterrestrials’ are very far away and have better things to do…”
“Hit by extraterrestrials? I knew you stupid Americans were stupid but I didn’t know how stupid you really were until I see this joke…”
This is not the first time that conspiracy theorists have claimed bizarrely that there are alien UFOs in space watching over Earth to take out asteroids and comets threatening human civilization.
The Inquisitrreported in February that UFO hunters BPEarthWatch announced to members of the online UFO community that video evidence proves that asteroid 2012 DA14 that approached Earth — at a grazing distance of 17,200 miles — a few hours after the Chelyabinsk meteor incident on February 15, 2016, was an “asteroid buster” UFO stationed in space by “friendly aliens” who watch over Earth to take out threatening asteroids.
However, NASA scientists said at the time that the flyby of asteroid 2012 DA14 a few hours after the Chelyabinsk meteor impacted was a coincidence. But UFO conspiracy theorists dismissed NASA’s “coincidence theory” as implausible, saying that careful analysis of radar images show that DA14 was an artificial satellite that took out the threatening space rock and then flew close to Earth to confirm it had completed the job.
According to UFO hunters, the radar images show an elongated and hollow artificial object remarkably similar to the mysterious two-meter WT1190F UFO — nicknamed “WTF UFO” — that entered Earth’s atmosphere on November 13, 2015, and crashed into the Indian Ocean off the coast of Sri Lanka.
While BPEarthWatch argued that asteroid 2012 DA14 was a military UFO parked in space by “friendly aliens” to watch over Earth, some UFO hunters claimed it could be part of a top-secret planetary defense project implemented by the U.S. government in collaboration with other countries, such as the EU, Russia, or even China.
UFO or NASA weather balloon? There are a wealth of UFO sightings around the world. There is also always someone around to see it. These videos are full of shaky footage and interesting commentary. Could it be a UFO? And the video is put to the test through peer evaluation, usually on YouTube. Rational folk always have an answer. A drone. Trump flying around with bat wings. Or a simpler explanation, a NASA weather balloon. It would be difficult to dismiss the chance that a real UFO has been caught on film. But over the next 100 days or so, you may simply be recording a NASA weather balloon. Since NASA has one hovering around the earth somewhere at an altitude in upwards of 100,000 feet.
NASA Super Balloon may Cause Alien Hysteria
It may seem silly to believe NASA when they say that your UFO footage is, in fact, a weather balloon. However, this time, the space agency may be telling the truth. NASA’s super pressure balloon is a lofty teardrop looking monstrosity during the day hours. But at night, it kind of resembles a saucer shaped UFO floating about. This could cause a few mix-ups for those avid believers. NASA has recently launched their 18 million cubic foot weather balloon. It is similar to their stratosphere balloon. The one that failed over Australia and caused quite an alien-infused stir. Must be cool to be in the NASA billion dollar balloon department.
Could this ‘Weather Balloon’ be Headed for Space?
The cunning space agency that has a long line of conspiracy theories surrounding it may be telling the truth this time. But they may be lying about the balloons destination. Maybe it isn’t a weather balloon at all. NASA may be sending this super high-tech bag full of air to space. With UFO enthusiasts spending every waking hour watching live feeds from the ISS, it would be hard to pass any secret alien messages. The “weather balloon” could be headed for space. It could be some UFO linkup device that aliens will intercept in space and then send it back to Earth. From space. It may sound insane. But we should all ask ourselves why NASA is being so open about this project?
The Secret UFO Hookup
NASA’s aim for this potential space balloon is to send it 100,000 feet into the sky for 100 days. The odds of the balloon being some alien communication platform are slim. The space agency is being very transparent on this particular project. In an effort to decrease UFO sighting possibilities, they are launching a real-time map that shows the balloons location. Available to all those who want to find the balloon and record footage of it anyway.

BLACK KNIGHT SATELLIET ONTDEKT OP FOTO NASA ( VIDEO )
BLACK KNIGHT SATELLIET ONTDEKT OP FOTO NASA ( VIDEO )
Al zo'n 12.000 jaar draait een zwarte buitenaardse satelliet uit het sterrenstelsel Epsilon Boötes baantjes rond onze aarde.
Heel af en toe komen er opnames van deze satelliet boven water en zo ook nu op een oude foto van NASA.
Navolgend een klein deel uit een eerder artikel dat wij vier jaar geleden schreven over de Black Knight satelliet.
In 1960 verschenen er diverse nieuwsberichten in kranten en ook een artikel in Time waarin bekend werd gemaakt dat een mysterieuze “donkere” satelliet was ontdekt in een baan om de aarde.
De Amerikanen werden nerveus omdat ze dachten dat het een nieuwe Russische spionagesatelliet was en de bevolking kreeg de indruk dat de leiding geen idee had over wat er nu eigenlijk boven hun hoofden gebeurde.
Deze verwarring duurde ongeveer drie weken, totdat het Ministerie van Defensie plotsklaps met een verklaring kwam: het waren de overblijfselen van een satelliet die ze al een tijdje kwijt waren.
In die tijd geloofde men nog wat overheden vertelden dus ging iedereen weer rustig slapen. Maar, verhalen over deze vreemde satelliet gaan al veel verder terug dan de jaren zestig. Er zijn berichten dat het in de jaren twintig en dertig van de vorige eeuw al ouderwetse radiogolven uitzond op de korte golf.
Deze berichten werden in die tijd opgevangen door een groep Noorse en Nederlandse onderzoekers die bezig waren met een onderzoek naar het effect van echo’s. Eén van de berichten waar zij niets mee gedaan hadden, werd later ontdekt door de Schotse auteur en astronoom Duncan Lunan. Hij wist dit bericht te ontcijferen en er kwam uit dat de satelliet toebehoorde aan buitenaardsen uit het sterrenstelsel Epsilon Boötes, dat ze op de zesde planeet in hun stelsel woonden en dat die één maan had. Er gaan ook verhalen dat dit weer ontkend zou zijn, maar het werd wel gepubliceerd in 1973 in het tijdschrift Spaceflight.
De man die niets anders doet de hele dag dan het bestuderen van NASA beelden is de bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1.
Keer op keer komt hij met bijzondere ontdekkingen, zo ook deze keer.
Op een foto, genomen door de Gemini 10 rond 20 juli 1966, staat iets wat heel veel lijkt op de Black Knight satelliet zoals deze ook op andere afbeeldingen is vastgelegd.
Vorig jaar schreven wij een artikel waarbij eveneens een onbekend object werd waargenomen in de buurt van het ISS ruimtestation.
Iets meer dan een week geleden brachten wij het verhaal van een vrouw in Amerika die door haar keukenraam een object waarnam dat veel leek op de beruchte Black Night Satelliet.
Nu lijkt het erop alsof deze zelfde Black Knight Satelliet is opgedoken bij het ISS ruimtestation.
Wat verschijningsvorm betreft, lijkt dit verdacht veel op die Black Knight Satelliet.
Wie weet hebben we hier inderdaad te maken met de beruchte 12.000 jaar oude satelliet. Of is het een ander soort UFO?
Volgens de auteur John Keel, die het boek Disneyland of the Gods heeft geschreven, was het object vele malen groter dan wat Amerika of Rusland in de ruimte zou kunnen brengen.
En toen op 3 september 1960, zeven maanden nadat de satelliet voor het eerst door de radar was ontdekt, werd het vastgelegd op de gevoelige plaat door een camera die stond opgesteld bij de Grunman Aircraft Corporation. Mensen op de grond hadden het af en aan gezien gedurende enkele weken. Ze beschreven het object als rood gloeiend en in een baan van oost naar west rond aarde. De weinige satellieten die toen in de ruimte waren, bewogen echter in een baan van west naar oost.
De snelheid van het apparaat was ook drie keer groter dan die van een normale satelliet. Er werd een comité opgericht om er onderzoek naar te doen, maar de resultaten daarvan zijn nooit bekend gemaakt.
Toen de satelliet werd ontdekt in 1960 vond men het belangrijk genoeg om de toenmalige president Eisenhower midden in de nacht wakker te maken. Een satelliet waarvan de leeftijd wordt geschat op minimaal 12.000 jaar, op een hoogte van bijna 40.000 kilometer, net onder de Van Allen Gordel.
De Black Knight satelliet is één van de best bewaarde geheimen van de tegenwoordige tijd.
Degene die vroeger bij de inlichtingendiensten heeft gewerkt en veel meer weet over de geheimen van deze mysterieuze satelliet is John Moore. In de hierna volgende radio-uitzending vertelt hij meer over dit merkwaardig fenomeen in de ruimte.

UFO with green lights passed over our plane, say Turkish pilots On May 19, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 19, 2016 Location of sighting: Istanbul, Turkey News source:
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/ufo-with-green-lights-passed-over-our-plane-say-turkish-pilots-.aspx?pageID=238&nID=99476&NewsCatID=341 Its great that pilots can come out and talk about what they saw in the sky. Many pilots are scared to talk about it due to ridicule and worry that their job security would be called into question. You can't get a more experienced expert at UFOs than a pilot himself, who flies daily and has to take care of his crew and passengers safety. A pilots testimony cannot be called into question. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: UFO with green lights passed over our plane, say Turkish pilots Turkish Airlines pilots have said an unidentified object with green lights passed over their plane late on May 19, stirring speculation about a possible “UFO sighting.” “An unidentified object with green lights passed 2 to 3,000 feet above us. Then it disappeared all of a sudden. We are guessing that it was a UFO,” the two pilots told the Air Traffic Control Center at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport. The “UFO” was seen around Istanbul’s Silivri district, during a flight from the western Turkish resort town of Bodrum to Istanbul. The unidentified object was spotted when the plane was flying at around 17,000 feet at around 11:30 p.m. on May 19, according to the pilots. The plane landed at Atatürk Airport around 30 minutes later. The General Directorate of State Airports Authority said it did not spot any image in its radars similar to what the pilots had described.

Date of discovery: May 2016 Location of discovery: Ocean floor, Gulf of Alaska Google Map Source:https://goo.gl/m9gL6c This is kind of mind blowing. A large disk on the ocean floor has been moving and creating a trail behind it. This is directly from the Google Earth map. The UFO measures 2.6 miles across according to Google ruler. Understand the trail you see is only part of it. There is still hundreds of miles of trail around it that it also created. Awesome discovery by Securityteam10 of Youtube. Scott C.

UFO Seen At Space Station Close Up On @NASA Cam, Best UFO Seen In Years, May 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 19, 2016 Location of sighting: Earths Orbit at ISS This UFO was seen and recorded by UFO researcher Streetcap1 of Youtube. Its easy to make out that the shininess is caused by its metallic surface. Its not a perfect disk, but does have areas of the disk that push outward as we see in the photo above. Its easy to see that this is not any space Russian Soyuz capsule or any shipment sent to the space station. This is one of the best examples of a UFO at the space station that I have seen in many years. Hats off to Streetcap1 for this awesome catch. Its funny that NASA decides to ignore all the thousands of UFOs on Youtube that have been recorded at the space station. I guess when your heads in the clouds, the publics opinion means nothing to you anymore. It may be time for the public to take over NASA and run it the right way. Scott C.

Bizarre Object Turn Off Turbine: IS This Compelling Evidence?
Bizarre Object Turn Off Turbine: IS This Compelling Evidence?
A bizarre UFO was spotted turning off a wind turbine as it flew through a wind farm, and the good news is that alien investigators are convinced of their compelling evidence of a possible alien visitation from the space. The footage was recorded last month within the secluded area of Madjdanek, Lublin, Poland. It shows a strange circular object flying slowly towards a wind turbine. The rotors were turning and come suddenly to a standstill as it nears. Afterward, it started rotating again once the object travels.
It was Grupa obserwacyjna, the Polish paranormal YouTube channel who uploaded the footage. To accompany the video, as translated from the Polish, the channel wrote that the witness saw the object flying from the east flying over the area for one hour. After recording the disappearance of the subject matter on April 17, the event became the hot topic on online forums. Editor of UFO Sightings Daily named Scott C Waring, said that the mysterious object flew over a wind farm. As it comes closer to it, the propeller stops. According to him, this type of unidentified object is recognizable by NASA due to its metallic orbs style. This mysterious object had a fleet of more than three following the space shuttle Atlantis being delayed its landing for 24 hours. These objects were a bear resemblance to space shuttle Atlantis. As a comparison of the shuttle incident, Mr. Waring uploaded a video on his blog site. Since it went online, other witnesses see it as a strange wind turbine stopper that has come forward. Krzysztof Gordziejewski posted similar object seen over Zgorzelec. The object shows that it moves in a north-easterly pattern within 24 hours throughout the event. As claimed by Ramone, last September, he saw the same object flying over a wind farm at Nasielsk, between Dzia?dowo and Warsaw. He added that in the existence of the passage of time, there were no enough gusts of wind.

Filer’s Files # 21 -2016 Earth Space Defense -PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Senator Barry Goldwater and UFOs, Space a Contested Environment, Earth Space Defense, UFO Touch Down, Dr Hynek was Informed Signals Were Coming from Venus, Government Officials Talk about Documented UFO Sightings, ISS UFO, and Colonization of Our Solar System.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, Spain, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Senator Barry Goldwater and UFOs
This video takes me way back. This interview was taken way back in 1994, so it goes to show you how long government officials high up have known about UFOs and how much they detest keeping a secret that is equal to a crime against humanity. Goldwater was an American politician and businessman who was a five-term was an American politician and businessman who was a five-term United States Senator from Arizona (1953–65, 1969–87) and the Republican Party‘s nominee for President of the United States in the 1964 election.
Goldwater is shown with President Nixon. Scott C. Waring
Video states: In 1994 on the Larry King Show Goldwater had a fascination for the UFO issue, and, throughout his life and career, made more than a few notable comments and observations on the subject. The bulk of them revolved around his attempts to determine the truth about longstanding rumors that something of a UFO nature (and something of deep significance, too) was secretly held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. The location of whatever this “something” may have been has variously been termed as “Hangar 18” and the “Blue Room.” On March 28, 1975, Goldwater wrote the following, highly thought-provoking, words to a UFO researcher named Shlomo Arnon: “He balled me out, and said, ‘Don’t ever ask me that question again!’” The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some long time. About ten or twelve years ago I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base where the information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied this request. It is still classified above Top Secret.” On more than a few occasions, the subject of UFOs featured heavily on Larry King Live. On one occasion, specifically in 1994, the person that King had on his show to talk about UFOs was none other than Goldwater himself, who told King: “I think at Wright-Patterson, if you could get into certain places, you’d find out what the Air Force and the government does know about UFOs. Reportedly, a spaceship landed. It was all hushed up. I called Curtis LeMay and I said, ‘General, I know we have a room at Wright-Patterson where you put all this secret stuff. Could I go in there?’ I’ve never heard General LeMay get mad, but he got madder than hell at me, and cussed.”
Note: I was in General LeMay’s office many times, saluted and gave him the latest reconnaissance photos of Russian missiles and aircraft in Cuba that had just been flown by Tactical Air Command aircraft. Russian planes recently carried a large number of Cuban troops to operate tanks in Syria
Space a Contested Environment
The multimedia Sekret Machines franchise project will reveal fascinating secrets surrounding the true, well-documented events of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. Developed by award-winning creator Tom DeLonge and academic A.J. Hartley in a powerful collaboration with top government advisors that keep the truth on course in this historical thriller
Air Force Major General Michael J. Carey says, “Sekret Machines scratches at the surface of “who do” we trust with our classified technology – certainly our adversaries are aware of our undertakings, as they are doing the same, but what of our citizens, our politicians, even our own military. Tom DeLonge and A.J. Hartley create a convincing narrative describing the “cat and mouse” game that is timeless between strategic adversaries. It has existed under the sea, on the surface of the earth and in its skies, why wouldn’t we believe it occurs in space.
Our military leaders have been saying space is a contested environment for years now, perhaps we should believe them!”Major General Michael J. Carey – Carey was relieved from command of U.S. 20th Air Force and made Special Assistant to the Commander, Air Force Space Command.
Dan Johnson writes, “This is a commercial that is currently on TV and is sponsored by the US Army. It shows a man who says that he is proud of his daughter who is defending the earth, not our country. He states that he defended his country during possibly the Gulf War. In the commercial the camera pans to a newspaper front page that reads, “VICTORY ALIENS DEFEATED” similar to what you saw during WWII, only this time it’s about defeating Aliens. The commercial ends with a screen that says, “Join the ESD Earth Space Defense“. What is really going on? Are we ready for an invasion from a space Invader sponsored by the US Army? Love and light, Thanks to Dan Johnson
“Independence Day: Resurgence” teams up with the U.S. Army with the new promo campaign, asking everyone to “join the Earth Space Defense.”
UFO Touch Down
Ewing — How are they powered? Surprising there isn’t more reports of mechanical failures. I can’t imagine one being hauled away from a crash or break-down site? I wonder why mine happened to touch down where it did – just a small town park about 5 miles from the state capital in Ewing, NJ. My girlfriend’s father was one of the few who actually saw it. He was a well respected accountant in the area and didn’t in any way want it leaked that he was an eye witness to this. He was up going to the bathroom (which faced the park across the street from their house) at 3 a.m. when he saw the massive craft slowly descending down to where it landed – about 100 yards from their house. His wife and daughter (my girlfriend at the time) made it clear that I wasn’t to ask him any questions about it. She called me at 7 AM at my parent’s house – which was very unusual – and all she said was “I know it’s early, but you have to come over here. NOW!” I don’t recall her even cluing me in as to what actually occurred, but when I drove around the bend near their house, I saw two NASA vans parked alongside the park, and several people out there with cameras. NASA had spun it as a test craft of theirs was being tested out, and landed for a brief time.
My recollection is that my girl’s father said it had touched down, and only stayed momentarily before ascending back into the sky. He thought, or was probably hoping, that he was dreaming or sleep-walking, or something. I couldn’t get over the massive support imprints going around in a massive circle – there was also a big hole right in the middle where apparently contact with our ground was made. It was a fascinating, crazy time. I’ll look for the pictures – I know I still have them! Won’t show much, but you can definitely tell some sort of large craft had landed there. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Dr Hynek was Informed Signals Were Coming from Venus
In later years he conducted his own independent UFO research, developing the “Close Encounter”classification system. He is widely considered the father of the concept of scientific analysis both of reports and (especially) of trace evidence purportedly left by UFOs
Ann Eller the secretary of claims Dr. J. Allen Hynek was informed signals were regularly coming from Venus in 1985. Ohio University Astronomy Department was receiving intelligent signals from the vicinity of Venus.
Hynek was a Rosicrucian. Ann Eller, who worked with the Father of UFO/Alien research, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, has a unique perspective on the UFO enigma. Her fascinating story revisits her days in the White House during the Clinton administration as a medevac nurse for the Peace Corps and her exceptional encounters with other-worldly beings. YouTube
Government Officials Talk about Documented UFO Sightings
The US investor Christopher Mellon worked 20 years for the federal government and according to him there are plenty of well-documented UFO sightings to establish a scientific research. There are enough data, reports by credible witnesses, videos made by trained soldiers and police officers and radar images. Christopher Mellon has now for the first time openly expressed about the information the government has about UFOs. There were some incidents involving UFOs when Mellon worked for the government. A Navy pilot phoned him one day to say that a UFO was circling a fighter. The Navy did as far as he knew no further investigation.
In addition, the radar captured four or five bright UFOs in the evening sky. Everyone was puzzled, says Mellon. No government employee showed interest, even after the images were shown during the TV program Nightline. “It was the complete lack of scientific curiosity because of political correctness,” he said highly frustrated. And on March 30, 1993 more than 100 witnesses, including policemen and soldiers saw a triangular craft above England. The object was able to shoot away from standstill. The British Ministry of Defense concluded that “an unidentified object (or objects) whose origin was unknown was operating over the UK.”
Belgium Triangle
Mr. Mellon was particularly impressed by the UFO sighting in November 1989 in Belgium, when 13 policemen and hundreds of other witnesses saw two triangular craft above the land. The Belgian Air Force launched an investigation, worked with a group of scientists and consulted with the US and NATO countries, but could give no clear explanation.
Mellon stresses that these objects were not owned by the US Department of Defense. He adds that the US military does not test new vessels over densely populated areas. Furthermore, he noted that the military is generally unwilling to investigate UFO reports, even if they come from military pilots or senior officials, such as former governor of Arizona Fyfe Symington. About Hillary Clinton’s promises to declassify UFO files, Mellon does not think Hillary Clinton will gain access to secret government programs on UFOs, if she becomes president. “I remember instances where employees of the White House could not get access to secret programs of the Ministry of Defense. People like Clinton years may hold high positions without ever accessing secret programs of the Ministry, which mostly deal with new weapons. ” If Clinton wants to find out the UFO topic to the bottom, the best she can do is reaching out to NORAD, the military organization that oversees the US airspace, and let them do the research.Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website
ISS in Earth’s Orbit
This UFO was reported by SecurityTeam10 of YouTube on April 8, 2016and shows a brownish rectangle shaped disk in the distance. I added light to it to reveal its color and shape as seen in the photo above.
If you want to watch the Space Station live cam, I have made it easy by placing it here on UFO Sightings Daily site. Just hit the green tab at the top of this page that says, “Space Station Cam.” You may see a UFO, or even an alien life form swimming around space. We have seen many such things on the cam in the past. Scott C. Waring Website
Colonization of Our Solar System
In the book “Covert Colonization of Our Solar System” is revealed how the military Industrial Complex of the U.S. was taken over by the same Nazis brought in after World War II in “Operation Paperclip”. German secret societies developed flying saucers called Jenseitsflugmasdines (otherworld flying machines. This series of flying saucers labeled the JFM series were developed by the Thule Society based on information the Vril Society obtained. These fantastic machines were later incorporated as weapons by the Nazi SS under Hans Kammler during World War II. The book traces the development of this beginning to the present secret colonization of our solar system and some of the technology involved in this book.
This takeover, among other things, resulted in a large scale “Black Project” colonization of our solar system, using antigravity technology developed by the Germans before and during World War II and developed further with help from extraterrestrials which the Germans had formed alliances with. The scientific principles of how this antigravity and free energy technology works is also discussed. Full disclosure of all this is scheduled to happen in the near
This book is a follow up on Herbert Dorsey’s “Secret Science and the Secret Space Program”, with a lot of new material added. In the chapter on Scalar Physics, the mathematical theory connecting gravity with electromagnetism is developed and goes on further to explain how portals allowing teleportation and time travel can be made electromagnetically.
Herbert Dorsey received his BS Degree in Electrical Engineering from University of California Santa Barbara in 1982.
The Nazi International documented in Joseph Farrell’s book by the same name, seems to have taken over the U.S. military industrial complex to produce space faring technology to colonize the solar system. A good read from many different angles. Website

Sightings in the United States
Alaska Blinking Light
Fairbanks — I was on patrol on May 14, 2016, and noticed a blinking light and I thought it was an airplane. When I came around to the other side of the Morris Thompson building I saw a big bright orb shoot straight down while the blinking light I saw early was stationary. I whipped out my phone and started to record the possible UFO. I felt excited to witness this event and tried to stand very still and capture what I was seeing. The camera itself does not do it justice as it was brighter. It actually started to mess with my eyes like I was starting to get unfocused. In the video the interesting part are 1:03 and 2:30 and also I don’t know if the camera captured it but at 3:20 I said “WHAO!” The object moved really fast then back to where it was at originally. Then at the end of the video it just disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Arizona USS Enterprise
Tucson — A man was star gazing through his telescope on May 12, 2016. He noticed an object moving in an opposite direction to the stars. The object was moving slowly. He drew the object which closely resembled the Star Trek craft the USS Enterprise. He noticed writing on the object and saw the numbers 10701. The witness said that the object was visible for about two minutes, turned blue and disappeared.
Note: The witness called and reported his sighting the day after it occurred. He said that he was an artist that had intended art school in college and that he drew the object. The metadata with the file does indicate use of a photo editor. Therefore the sketch could have been copied from another location. I used a search engine and found the exact image of the USS Enterprise display above. (This includes the image dimensions.) Therefore it is quite likely that the image was copied and not created by the witness. The witness admitted that he was using alcoholic beverages at the time of his sighting. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
California Objects
Sacramento – On May 1. 2016 and each day I point phone to sky and take random pictures can’t see with naked eye or through phone only in the pictures. I have many more at least a hundred. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Flying Object
Saugas – My friend took the picture and posted it on Facebook on May 12, 2016, and never mentioned anything but the restaurant.
I commented hum looks like there is a UFO in your picture. I got blown off as he thinks it is a drone or bird. I’m not sure myself what it is, but it looks like a UFO to me. It looks too big for a drone or bird. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Louisiana Light
Collinston — A couple was sitting outside on their porch and noticed an erratic moving light on May 4, 2016. The light would move left to right, up and down. The light would also stop and then resume moving erratically. The light was solid and multicolored. There was no sound. The witnesses watched the light for several minutes became frightened and then went inside. Four photos were taken with the first photo displayed. The lights were much bigger than an airplane.
Note: The light has been distorted probably due to a combination of slow exposure, camera movement or object movement. The light was likely quite bright as it shows up well on the I-phone camera. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Massachusetts Object
Boston— I noticed the ufo when I saw the picture I took on May 7, 2016. At that minute we did not see anything.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Light
Commerce — About 2 am, a very loud noise awoke us from sleeping. I knew immediately this was not a plane or helicopter as it had been hovering and is still hovering in our back yard. Others who live in the area can also still hear and saw the object.
It has been constantly hovering over the trees in our backyard all night. The lights were round, flashing in a circular motion. The shape of the object was tilted to the side with the lights going around in circles making a VERY loud noise.
The object is out of sight but is still in our yard projecting the same noise. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mississippi Encounter
Jackson— I got very excited when I found out I was getting stationed at Wright Patterson AFB back in 2009, because supposedly that’s where the wreckage from Roswell was sent (I did scope out the so-called Hangar 18 but the windows were all totally painted so that no one could see in. No other hangars had paint covering the windows).
I was at a friend’s house in Gautier on May 8, 2016, at 11 pm, when my daughter commented on how bright a couple stars were. I said, “Orion’s Belt, and my friend remarked he thinks of the film Men in Black”.I focused in one area in the sky, and I saw seven dim green lights in a v-formation. The lights were flying east and I only witnessed them for about 10 seconds. I immediately wondered whether it could be light reflecting off a flock of birds because that seems to be a common but I am 100% sure these lights were neither birds nor planes. It was nearly 1,000 feet in above me and flying a few hundred feet per second
It flew east until I lost sight of it. There seemed to be a sort of shimmer or disturbance in the shape of a triangle as if it were cloaked. The lights were gliding by so smoothly too. Kessler AFB is 40 minutes west from where I was in Gautier, MS and the lights were coming from the west but as far as I know, we don’t have anything like that at Keesler. I’m convinced that no naturally occurring phenomena can explain what I saw. I’m happy that I finally got to see a UFO with my own eyes but now I understand when people say it happens so fast that they are just frozen and can’t take NOTE: The above image is the witness drawing.

New Jersey BiG Foot
Mays Landing — This has gone on for four months and must be told. Big Foot will never be caught because often he lives in the sky so you can stop looking for him. I have communicated with them. Some have been nice and I consider Big Foot as my friend. When we see each other, our hello is to put both arms up. He is massive and I have also seen his baby too. At full moon they throw huge parties behind my home. The only way I see them 90% of the time is by looking through a pair of binoculars. Now others are far from nice. I was invited to go up in large craft, however I declined saying I have a 17 year old daughter and Big Foot smiled raised his arms and gave me a strong feeling of goodness as understood entirely. They have showed me many things and there is no way I can type it all. I have seen little Grays and big grays, Humans in form but you never know. I believe I have been shown more than anyone else.
At first I enjoyed it, however things have changed in that regard somewhat. They have been in my home several times. I see supply lines from Earth going up to ships in the sky with huge antenna or disc shaped objects. I watch the construction and often have to yell at them to stay away from me. As long as they are in sight you can communicate, but otherwise I believe they can see and hear anytime they choose. Remember they are not us so be careful because I did pay a price for what you are reading here. It can be done right and safely especially when Big Foot is around, he is to me a true and loyal friend. I am happy to know such a wonderful being that mean us no harm and should not be hunted. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oklahoma Ring
Sulpulpa — My cousin uploaded these pictures of something weird in the sky on May 14, 2016
Thanks to MUFON CMS Note: Possible smoke ring.
Pennsylvania Triangle
Doylestown/Warrington— It started on March 3rd, 2015, as I was heading southeast that put me on Highway 611 south. My twin sister was driving 5:03 pm, when I noticed a slate triangle moving from the left to the right behind the tree line. It peaked out behind the trees for only a moment when I saw it switch back to the direction it came from and disappear from sight. I immediately told my twin sister I saw a UFO and she didn’t believe me. We were about a mile south from where I saw the triangle. My twin was a new driver and she was focused on the road to avoid potholes. As we were 70% up Warrington Hill I watched a gold/silver/chrome double-bubble on a disk appear above our car. I had to lean forward towards the dashboard to get a good look at it. It faded in out of a clear, cloudless, blue sky. I initially screamed and went into a fit of laughter because I thought it was trolling me. It lasted about 4 or 5 seconds and it faded out the same way it faded in. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Vermont UFO Burns Hole
Burlington– On May 17, 2016, an electrical engineer was outside and noticed a bright white oblong object flying from west to east. The object flew right over his house and then towards Lake Champlain. The object was estimated to be the size of a city bus and was estimated to be about 500 feet over the witness’s house. The witness was convinced that the object was not a plane, helicopter or drone. The man felt his “hair standing on end” like there was electricity in the air. The witness had a red laser pointer light on his key chain. He shined the laser on the object. The object was moving slowly, but stopped when the laser light was shown. The witness couldn’t see the laser light reflecting off of the object. The object at once stopped and shot a white-yellow beam of light close to the witness’s feet and the light burned a hole through a paving stone and into the ground below. (See photo collage.) The witness scurried into the house right after the light burned the hole through the stone into the ground. He called and reported his sighting and later retrieved the stone (at my request). He took the stone into his house and the stone was very hot. This was about one-half hour after the hole had been burned. (The temperature outside was about 45 degrees F.) The witness then took photos of the ground below the stone. (See above photo collage.) He said that he saw the object for only about 45 seconds, but that it returned later and hovered over his house for several minutes.
The witness noticed strange individuals gathering outside his house and was terrified of them as they seemed to be watching him in his house. He also saw a police car across the street with flashing lights. The witness was afraid to go outside as the individuals looked suspect. (They were wearing hoodies and had backpacks on.) I requested that the witness take samples of the burned area and area surrounding it. He said that he took the samples and then the next message stated that they “were taking my phone.” He also saw a large black car parked by the Elks Club across the street. The witness texted the photos to my cell phone, and a few minutes later he texted that they “were taking my phone.” He then stated that the FBI “collected hisevidence.” I then received a text saying that the phone number was no longer in service. The witness saw a similar object about four months ago.
NOTE:Either this was a well perpetuated hoax or a very compelling close encounter with a UFO. The witness was afraid to call the police because he has a responsible job. He is an electrical engineer and contracts with other companies. He has his own business. He is also married and has kids. He is 48 years old and has never seen anything like this. He said that he was in good physical and emotional health. The witness had not discussed the incident with his family. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Washington Triangle
My husband cam e running through the house yelling there are two orange UFOs in the sky. One is over Portage Island and the other over Lummi Island. I grabbed my son’s camera and took two pictures. Right after the second the UFOs disappeared.

Wyoming Disc
Jackson Hole — I went on a family vacation with my father and children to the Grand Teton Mountains on May 6, 2016… While looking through some photos and videos I found things I cannot explain. I have attached the files in question and wanted an expert opinion on the anomaly. In the second photo, these objects whiz by so fast that even in the same second it is there and then gone. I only noticed the first frame with the moose and then started to look at the videos in 1/4 second time, frame by frame and found these.
I have never seen anything move so fast. I have also attached a photo with something weird in the background. I literally took a quick shot of both sides of the bridge we were on and didn’t even look at it until recently. Please let me know if I am going crazy or if there is something behind these photos/videos. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide Sightings
Australia Ships
Several space ships appear right in front of me; put on a show then chase me through the forest on November 15, 2015. I was walking in the forest when I noticed a big light in the sky in front of me, so I watched the white light fly in circles, move up, down and all over the place. Then completely out of nowhere a flying saucer appears about 15 meters in front and above me. This is when I started fully freaking out, but I still just watched these objects fly around in ways like nothing I have ever seen before. It just started flying on really weird angles and making humming noises. This saucer was disc shaped with a metal cone on the bottom had a metal ring on the outside that rotated very quickly and varied as the ships angles would change. There were also lights on the metal ring that changed color rapidly and rotated with the metal ring; the colors included white, orange, red, green and blue. After watching that object for about 5 minutes I noticed another 2 ships further back in the distance, I quickly pulled my phone out to capture a few photos but something was definitely affecting my phone. For some reason I can’t remember what one of them looked like but the other ship was your typical looking movie spaceship with a clear dome on top. I managed to capture a photo of it hiding in the clouds. The single light I saw at the beginning was still flying around in circles.
After watching these things for about 10 minutes I was stressing out too hard thinking they were going to abduct me so I sprinted through the forest to the right of me (I had nowhere else to run), the closer space ship followed me and flew right over my head as I was running in the bush then I looked back and it was gone, I came out the other side of the forest to civilization in a matter of minutes. I didn’t stop running and then sprinted to my friends house not too far down and he was with one of my other friends too, I explained what just happened, they didn’t believe me of course and so we went back to the site immediately, and we were there discussing everything for about 5 minutes when an immensely bright beaming light appeared from in the middle of the forest to the left and started coming towards us. I ran the moment I saw the light and my friends followed. Two weeks later I was just starting to accept what had happened when I heard the humming/buzzing noise again, I ran to my bathroom window and surely enough there was strange lights doing strange things again. Ever since that night I will see strange lights whenever I am outside at night time. It can range from a light to about 20. I’ve caught several videos of this and can capture a new video whenever I want to. I actually saved up and purchased an expensive camera only for it to break on the 3rd video I was filming (the wind blew my tripod over). It was very dark so you could not see anything but a single light in the photos, until I added filters, brightness, contrast etc and now the ships are way more visible. I also have a YouTube channel going called ‘jtufo’ however I’ve been inactive lately due to not having a camera, and I won’t be able to afford one for a good while. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Scarborough –Today on Tuesday May 17, 2016. I was outside on morning break at work in Scarborough, Ontario. After about five minutes admiring a good clear sky, I noticed coming from the north, a bright white pulsating white UFO at 10:11 am. It was quite high and moving very slow giving opportunity to capture on film. So being camera ready I began a series of still shots and four quick video clips. It moved southward and then hooked slightly westward towards Toronto. There are appeared to be no change in speed. Half way through the sighting I managed to have a co worker witness this thing for a minute. It would be pulsating a bright white light as it moved along very slowly was so excited due to the length of the sighting – near ten minutes The object was gone out of sight at about 10 :20 am being much further away. Just incredible to see it’s behavior in movement Thanks to Paul Shishis

Goa — My Best Friend “Hunter” were traveling by bus from work at around 12.30 am, midnight on May 14, 2016, from Bicholim to Mapusa. Suddenly “Hunter” spotted a Bright Ball of White Light up High in the Sky that was traveling at Medium Speed.
Thank God he managed to capture it on his Mobile Camera just as the light disappeared from the sight; this was “Hunter’s” 2nd UFO Sighting this Year. It’s like these lights are everywhere, this was really a very cool UFO sighting.
Knocknarea, Sligo— I was out camping on Knocknarea and was awoken at night by a large bang on May 14, 2016. I assumed it was a car crash, but then shortly afterwards I heard a low humming noise that got louder and louder. I unzipped the tent and went outside to see this object in the air. My mind quickly associated the shape with that of a cactus, but I don’t think I can begin to comprehend what the features on this thing were weapons perhaps?
I have attached a sketch. What is even stranger is when I arrived back to my apartment the locks were changed. After talking to the landlord he said that my bathroom had flooded and I didn’t pay rent for a week. I was gone for a whole week! Yet I had only supplies for one night and only memory of the one night. I consider it a lucky escape and will never be camping there again. Thanks to William Puckett, DirectorWebsite

Newton Abbot Devon –I was looking through the viewfinder on my Sony HX300 camera when I spotted two planes passing each other on May 5, 2016. I had my camera set to burst mode and took ten photographs of the planes. While I was taking the photographs I thought I saw an object pass between the two planes. On later inspection of the photographs I could clearly see that the object that I saw was in fact a flying saucer. The flying saucer was in four of the photographs. The speed of this flying saucer was simply incredible. The photographs were taken on the 5th of May 2016, 1:20 PM GMT at Newton Abbot Devon UK.
Note:We have received several photos in the past few years from this witness. I have never shown that any of his photos were fabricated. I don’t know for sure if the object in the above photo and animation is a flying disk or a camera artifact. I leave it up to the readers to draw their own conclusion.

Clinton won't get UFO truth because US Presidents ARE kept 'in the dark', says insider
Clinton won't get UFO truth because US Presidents ARE kept 'in the dark', says insider
A FORMER senior US national security chief has claimed senior White House officials and even US Presidents are kept in the DARK about sensitive subjects.
Chris Mellon, left, says Hillary Clinton won't get access to files on Area 51 (top left) and UFOs
Christopher Mellon claims Hillary Clinton's bid to crack open the country's alleged secret database of UFO intelligence reports and draw out the truth about the mysterious military base Area 51 in Nevada, will hit a brick wall even if she does become the next president.
Mr Mellon was asked if he thought she would route out any "information on classified government programs involving UFOs."
But he said that even for Presidents information was on a "need to know basis", particularly around new weaopans.
He said: "I recall instances when White House officials sought briefings on highly compartmented Department of Defence (DoD) programs and were flatly refused.
GETTY
Hillary Clinton aims to become the "UFO disclosure" president
I recall instances when White House officials sought briefings on highly compartmented Department of Defence (DoD) programs and were flatly refused.
Chris Mellon
"Access to such programs is on a need to know basis. In general, nobody outside DoD, including the Secretary of State, is deemed to have a need to know.
"Officials like John Podesta and Secretary Clinton can easily serve for years in senior positions and be avid consumers of classified intelligence analysis but never obtain access to DoD’s compartmented programs, which mostly relate to new weapons systems.
"Information about such programs rarely leaks because it doesn’t circulate, unlike the constant stream of leaked information regarding classified intelligence activities."
Mr Mellon has had years of high-level clearance involvement in the Department of Defence (DoD).
He said he doubted any UFO files of any relevance or information about Area 51 would come to light if Mrs Clinton makes the White House.
He said: "While a few new, previously overlooked documents might turn up, I do not believe they would resolve the UFO issue or provide significant new insights.
"I think the conspiracy theorists will be angry and unconvinced.
"If Clinton really wants to get to the bottom of the UFO issue, I think she should officially task NORAD with collection and analysis responsibility.
"Simultaneously, she should assign the Office of Science and Technology Policy the job of reviewing available evidence, coordinating with other countries and providing scientific assessments and recommendations."
Mrs Clinton and campaign manager Mr Podesta have been vocal about wanting to open the UFO and Area 51 files since January - and it has now become a focal point of her campaign.
Steve Bassett, executive of Paradigm Research Group, which has campaigned for disclosure of all UFO files for 20 years, told www.express.co.uk: "An elected president should be able to go anywhere and request any information, but it is done on a need-to-knoe basis, and it goes against the constitution, but the people just accept that's the way it is."
These mysterious disappearances have encouraged several bizarre theories of UFOs and supernatural occurrences in the so-called Bass Strait Triangle.
Ever since George Bass and Matthew Flinders rounded Cape Grim on the North-West Coast in December, 1798, Bass Strait has been renowned for many peculiar and frightening incidents.
In his book, Mysteries of the Bass Strait Triangle, Jack Loney was realistic about these “triangle mysteries’’.
“While our American friends discuss the strange Bermuda Triangle and link it with UFOs and the supernatural, we can say that most of our disasters were probably caused by storms, tidal waves, pirates, negligence and other perfectly natural causes,’’ he said.
As we all well know, the forces of nature can swiftly whip up giant seas and violent gales in Bass Strait.
The King Island marine graveyard is evidence enough of this but there have been disappearances which cannot be easily explained.
Chief among these was the disappearance of Frederick Valentich and the single-engine Cessna he was piloting en route to King Island in October, 1978.
How the Melbourne Sun newspaper reported the UFO story about Valentich's disappearance.
The incident attracted worldwide interest because Valentich reported making contact with a UFO moments before losing radio contact with Flight Service, Melbourne.
The Valentich mystery is the subject of the 1980 book, The Devil’s Meridian, written by journalists Kevin Killey and Gary Lester.
For six minutes Valentich described the amazing speed, appearance and manoeuvrability of the UFO.
At the end of this conversation, the engine of his plane was heard to malfunction and radio contact was lost.
His last words were: “That strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again. It ... is hovering and it’s not an aircraft.’’ Killey and Lester described in their book how a metallic clicking sound followed for the next 17 seconds. Then there was silence.
Despite an extensive search, no sign of Valentich or his aircraft was ever found.
That same day, a King Island woman, Geelong youths playing cricket and tennis, and a woman and her teenage son on their way to Cape Otway on the northern coast of Victoria all reported seeing strange lights or objects in the sky.
The official response was that Valentich had become disorientated in the “twilight zone’’ between dusk and full dark.
The theory was he was flying upside down – and had actually seen his aircraft’s lights reflected on the water before crashing into Bass Strait.
Another famous Tasmanian UFO sighting was of a dome-shaped object which is reported to have landed at Little Oyster Cove near Kettering, south of Hobart, in February 1976.
A 39-year-old man said he woke at night to see what he thought was a plane coming down nearby. Thinking it was a crash, he rushed to the area to find a dome-shaped object with bright lights glowing from its windows which had landed on a grassed area. He described watching it for about seven minutes before it took off with a loud whirring sound and disappeared into the night sky with increasing speed.
The following morning he noticed a scorched area on the grass where it had been.

Ancient tsunami evidence on Mars reveals life potential
Ancient tsunami evidence on Mars reveals life potential

Summary:
The geologic shape of what were once shorelines through Mars' northern plains convinces scientists that two large meteorites -- hitting the planet millions of years apart -- triggered a pair of mega-tsunamis. These gigantic waves forever scarred the Martian landscape and yielded evidence of cold, salty oceans conducive to sustaining life.

The geologic shape of what were once shorelines through Mars' northern plains convinces scientists that two large meteorites -- hitting the planet millions of years apart -- triggered a pair of mega-tsunamis. These gigantic waves forever scarred the Martian landscape and yielded evidence of cold, salty oceans conducive to sustaining life.
"About 3.4 billion years ago, a big meteorite impact triggered the first tsunami wave. This wave was composed of liquid water. It formed widespread backwash channels to carry the water back to the ocean," said Alberto Fairén, Cornell visiting scientist in astronomy and principal investigator at the Center of Astrobiology, Madrid.
Fairén, who with lead author Alexis Rodriguez of the Planetary Science Institute and 12 others, published their work in Scientific Reports (May 19), a publication of the journal Nature.
The scientists found evidence for another big meteorite impact, which triggered a second tsunami wave. In the millions of years between the two meteorite impacts and their associated mega-tsunamis, Mars went through frigid climate change, where water turned to ice, Fairén said: "The ocean level receded from its original shoreline to form a secondary shoreline, because the climate had become significantly colder."
The second tsunami formed rounded lobes of ice. "These lobes froze on the land as they reached their maximum extent and the ice never went back to the ocean -- which implies the ocean was at least partially frozen at that time," he said. "Our paper provides very solid evidence for the existence of very cold oceans on early Mars. It is difficult to imagine Californian beaches on ancient Mars, but try to picture the Great Lakes on a particularly cold and long winter, and that could be a more accurate image of water forming seas and oceans on ancient Mars."
These icy lobes retained their well-defined boundaries and their flow-related shapes, Fairén said, suggesting the frozen ancient ocean was briny. "Cold, salty waters may offer a refuge for life in extreme environments, as the salts could help keep the water liquid. … If life existed on Mars, these icy tsunami lobes are very good candidates to search for biosignatures," he said.
"We have already identified some areas inundated by the tsunamis where the ponded water appears to have emplaced lacustrine sediments, including evaporites," Rodriguez said. "As a follow-up investigation we plan to characterize these terrains and assess their potential for future robotic or human in-situ exploration."
The research, "Tsunami Waves Extensively Resurfaced the Shorelines of an Early Martian Ocean," was funded by NASA. Fairén was supported by the European Research Council.

De eerste mega-tsunami vond zo’n 3,4 miljard jaar geleden plaats. De tweede volgde enkele miljoenen jaren later.
Dat hebben onderzoekers ontdekt. Ze hebben hun bevindingen gepubliceerd in het blad Scientific Reports. “Ongeveer 3,4 miljard jaar geleden veroorzaakte een grote meteorietinslag de eerste tsunami,” vertelt onderzoeker Alberto Fairén. “Deze golf bestond uit vloeibaar water.” Dat Fairén en collega’s die conclusie nu miljarden jaren later kunnen trekken, komt door de sporen die de tsunami op het oppervlak van Mars achterliet. Na de tsunami haastte het water zich weer terug naar de oceaan en daarbij ontstonden grote kanalen.
Een paar miljoen jaar later was het weer raak, zo schrijven de onderzoekers. Wederom sloeg er een grote meteoriet op Mars in en wederom ontstond een tsunami. Maar dit keer waren de omstandigheden iets anders. Sinds de hierboven beschreven meteorietinslag was het klimaat op Mars namelijk veranderd: het was er koud geworden. De tweede tsunami leidde dan ook tot het ontstaan van ijstongen. Het water dat uit de oceaan stroomde, bevroor en keerde nooit meer terug. “Wat erop wijst dat de oceaan in die tijd in ieder geval gedeeltelijk bevroren was,” stelt Fairén.
De onderzoekers bestudeerden door tsunami’s aangetaste kustlijnen nabij Valles Marineris.

En daarmee achten de onderzoekers bewezen dat op het jonge Mars zeer koude oceanen aanwezig waren. Waarschijnlijk was het water in die oceanen zout. En daarmee interessant voor eventueel Martiaans leven. “Koud, zout water kan een toevluchtsoord vormen voor leven in extreme omstandigheden, aangezien het zout helpt om het water vloeibaar te houden.” Als er ooit leven op Mars is geweest en we daar sporen van willen vinden, lijken de sporen van de laatstgenoemde tsunami dan ook de aangewezen plek om die zoektocht te starten. En dat hoeft geen ver-van-mijn-bed-show te zijn. De onderzoekers wijzen erop dat de sporen zich vrij dicht bij de landingsplek van Mars Pathfinder bevinden. En daarmee lijkt het mogelijk om dit gebied met de huidige technologie te bezoeken en bestuderen.
There is no doubt about the fact that 3D printed buildings are the future of the construction world. This belief was further reinforced by the CEO of Alphabet, Eric Schmidt, who announced that the company has been investing in the research and development of additive manufacturing processes, which would result in revolutionizing the future of the construction industry. The use of 3D printing in construction that seemed like a dream a few years back is now turning into a reality.
The 3D printing construction technology involves the use of giant sized printers. There is a special kind of concrete that is being used in this type of construction process, which may be thicker than usual, allowing the structures to be self-supporting. The use of this technology will change the structure of the construction industry as it will increase affordability, providing people with housing facilities at lower costs.
Winsun, a Chinese construction company, claims to have built ten houses with the help of 3D printers, where the cost incurred per house was $5,000. 3D printed construction can, however, be made more affordable by customizing the designs of the buildings, so that minimum materials are used. The company took the challenge of taking this construction to the next level, where it moved from single storey houses to five storeys and then an 11,840 sq.ft villa. The printer that was used by the company fabricates huge parts of the buildings at the facility.
These pieces are then assembled by the company together with the help of steel reinforcements.
3dprint.com
Recently, there has been so much fuss being created about the infusion of 3D printed construction because the construction giants have realized the tremendous impact of this new technology on the overall growth of the sector.
There is a Tennessee-based company named Chattanooga that has announced that it will construct its first 3D printed home by July. The company, to further enforce this practice in the industry, introduced “Freeform Home Design Challenge,” where architects were invited to design a construction piece with the help of the Cellular Fabrication Technique being used in 3D printed construction.
However, while everyone is talking about the way 3D construction is going to transform the world, there are still some drawbacks and challenges associated with this new innovation that need to be addressed. The end product of 3D construction is cheap, but still, the cost of equipment is higher, which makes construction expensive. The cost of this construction technology does not seem to be decreasing anytime soon either.
Another barrier to the adoption of this technology is the desire to sit back and wait for it to be proven as a safe and reliable method of building things. Although the change that 3D printed construction will bring to the industry will be enormous, for now, it is slow. It can be anticipated by the growth of ongoing projects that the use of 3D printing technology is going to be “ONE BIG THING,” by the end of the decade.
When a child enters school, he or she is taught about gravity and its effects. Somewhere between seventh and tenth grade, the famous scientist and mathematician, Einstein, is introduced to them. We have read about him and his famous theory of general relativity. The name has become synonymous with the special relativity equation, E=mc2.
Different scientists have tried to prove the theory behind it in different ways, but they never really could find any hard evidence.
Well, it may not have been verified before, but new evidence, after over a century of research on Einstein’s version of mass-energy equivalence by hundreds of scientists, has come to light which may well have proven the theory for good.
In September 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected slight signs of gravitational waves. And the information collected was then substituted in the equation, and guess what? The equation was found to be balanced. The world now has hard evidence that what the man said a hundred years ago was not a prediction or just a hypothesis – it was scientific law.
Gravitational waves are a kind of energy which are found to be the ripples in space-time. When LIGO detected the signals, the waves were produced due to the collision of two black holes. The collision resulted in a larger black hole that emitted the gravitational waves in space.
This may all seem like a technical lecture to you, but the interesting part is just around the corner. You see, gravitational waves are the only waves that can travel at the speed of light or even more. They can penetrate through any matter without getting altered. It doesn’t even harm the object in any way.
These gravitational waves can help us study the anatomy of anything present in the universe. This is the key that will unlock various secrets of the universe. This will not just help us to gain knowledge, but will also aid in finding solutions to the problems that the world is still unaware of.
We can find out how planets are made, how cells and atoms can be regenerated, and the like. Imagine replicating the earth’s core. We know that the earth’s temperature is continuously increasing, which is definitely not a pleasant news, but what if we could get it back to normal? Gravitational waves are going to unveil various aspects of life and matter, which are hidden from the beginning.
The gravity of the earth is a force that holds it together, but it is also the weakest force discovered. We don’t know how long this force is going to last, which means we don’t have any idea how long the earth stays in existence. Knowing the ending point will be a great help – we could make adequate arrangements for our future. Who knows, maybe we could also replicate it or just stop it from reaching the limit; let’s see what can be done.
These are just predictions, or you can say these are just a few benefits that we know we can avail through the discovery of gravitational waves. But, nature always has surprises; maybe this discovery could lead us to something that is beyond anyone’s imagination just yet.
The world has changed a lot since 1903 when the Wright Brothers made the first successful flight. Now, we have gigantic planes in the air, thousands of tons of metal flying, carrying hundreds of passengers at a time such as the Airbus A380, Boeing 747, 777, and the like. Some of these are able to accommodate over 400 passengers, complete with exclusive facilities to make the journey more pleasurable. Passengers can even get their own rooms in some planes!
Once, the Airbus A380 was known to be the largest plane. This metal bird made by Airbus was truly humongous. It is still the largest passenger plane in the world. And Emirates Airline was its biggest customer, with 75 A380s in its fleet and another 130 already ordered.
This piece of engineering is a masterpiece of design. The double-deck, wide-body vehicle is powered by four high-powered engines. The Rolls Royce Trent 900 and Engine Alliance GP7000 are among the monster engines found on this plane.
Evolution never stops, though, and the A380 has new competition to contend with, the Antonov An-225 Mriya. This leviathan of a plane isn’t so much competition, however; it far surpasses the A380 in terms of sheer scale. The Antonov An-225 Mriya is effectively the largest airplane in existence.
In the 1980s, the Soviet Union’s Antonov Design Bureau came up with this machine. It’s not just the largest plane; it is a plane that can carry maximum weight, which is equal to 52 fully matured elephants. It is also the heaviest plane ever built and holds a total of 240 Guinness World Records.
The plane has 6 turbo engines, easily overpowering any other plane in this respect. The massive body allows the plane to gain enough uplift from the air to keep it stable. With a stupendous capacity of 300,000 kilograms, it can make long cargo journeys.
For a plane of this size, it makes sense that it would serve as a cargo plane, a fact that has solved many a logistic nightmare for companies. Before the An-225, the logistics of transporting necessary equipment like a plant generator could take years to resolve, having to break down everything into small components and then deal with the hassle of reassembly. The An-225 has become to go-to choice for such needs.
America also signed a contract with the Soviet government to use the An-225 to transport military assets. The Soviet government’s main purpose to build this massive bird was to make a lot of money out of it, and it is clear that they have succeeded.
This happens every few years; we think that this machine is the largest and nothing more can be done, but after a few years we are proved wrong. The same happened with the Airbus A380; it is still the largest passenger plane, but it isn’t even close to the size, power, and capacity of the An-225.
Let’s see what aeronautical engineers have in store for us in the future!
Edge of Tomorrow is a colossally underrated film, one of the best sci-fi flicks I’ve seen in the past couple of years.
If you haven’t seen it, the film stars Tom Cruise attempting to save humanity from aliens in essentially the same type of transportation exoskeleton we see here from Hyundai.
I’m not sure how long Hyundai’s transportation exoskeleton has been in production, but the similarities between it and the Edge of Tomorrow are striking.
The suit will be part of the company’s ‘Next Mobility’ Group, which focuses on moving people from point A to point B.
A working transportation exoskeleton from Hyundai would find plenty of applications, from factory workers to soldiers carrying out military operations.
Of course, the “wearable robot” could also be used by regular citizens to stave off an attack on Earth from extraterrestrials, should stuff ever really hit the fan.

TRANQUILLEMENT, LA NASA NOUS DÉVOILE 8400 PHOTOS DE LA MISSION APOLLO
TRANQUILLEMENT, LA NASA NOUS DÉVOILE 8400 PHOTOS DE LA MISSION APOLLO
Depuis le 21 juillet 1969 , l'humanité a pu se délecter de quelques photos prises par nos héros de l'espace. Mais la Nasa , qui gardait précieusement le reste de ces photos, nous fait enfin le plaisir de publier 8400 photos de la mission Apollo sur une page Flickr spécialement dédiée. Décidément, la Nasa nous gâte en ce moment !
Les amoureux et passionnés de l'espace et de sa conquête pourront se délecter de la substantifique moelle de ces clichés pris sur notre cher satellite et les illuminés vont pouvoir continuer leur enquête relative aux secrets bien gardés de cette mission mystérieuse sur la Lune.
A Washington witness at Battle Ground reported watching what appeared to be a military helicopter escorting a cigar-shaped UFO very close to ground level, according to testimony in Case 75344 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The incident occurred beginning at 11:20 p.m. on March 21, 2016, and was reported to MUFON the following day.
The witness believes that the helicopter was a Chinook. Pictured: A U.S. Army CH-47D. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)
“I was in the backyard and heard this incoming Chinook helicopter flying near, close to the ground, very loud, and as it passed into view, just ahead of it was this dark moving craft,” the witness stated.“Observing both was very short, but I could make out a cigar shape as best as I can describe. It could have been diamond shaped, or could be a disc on edge, but it was very much something that was making no sound at all. Seeing the helicopter so close to it, could see it was being escorted.”
The witness believes there has been UFO activity in the area over a long period of time.
“I have prior reports from the area, and also have not mentioned other strange sightings here. They are very frequent and Battle Ground, Washington, is an area UFO watchers should be looking more into these days.”
The case was investigated by Washington Assistant State Director AletaDeBee and closed as an Unknown.
“The two craft were about the same size, traveling at the same speed and same height, just 2 to 300 feet off the ground,” DeBee wrote in her report.“It seemed to him that they might have been traveling close to the ground to stay beneath the radar. They were traveling to the northwest. The dark, oblong object was unlighted. The crafts were close to his location, probably no more than 300 feet away. It moved so fast that it seemed like less than a second that he was able to see it before it had flown beyond the clearing.”
The helicopter appeared to be escorting the UFO. Pictured: Soldiers prepare to board a CH-47F at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, California. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)
DeBee reviewed the case details.
“The helicopter was manmade, without visible insignia, possibly a dark blue/green color. Looked to be a Chinook, as it had two props. Very large, very loud. Object was flying in front of the helicopter, and appeared totally black, oblong, like a cigar or elongated diamond shape. Weather was clear, 46-degrees F., with a visibility of 10 miles. Wind about 5 mph.Battleground is a thriving populous community, a suburb of Vancouver. It is located about 30 miles north of Portland International Airport, and about 20 miles north of Vancouver and about 30 miles southwest of Mount St. Helens.”
Other databases and resources were reviewed.
“Checked NUFORC immediately and two weeks afterwards to see if there were other sightings. Checked weather. Called Joint Base Lewis-McChord to find out what explanations there might be for this event. Was told by the public information officer on duty that at any one time they might have 150 helicopters in the air, and it’s hard to say what they are doing. Called the Control Tower at Portland International Airport, about 20-25 miles south and southwest of the sighting locations to see if they had any idea what it was, and whether there was any radar information. They said that it may be that there were maybe exercises that the military was conducting that included one helicopter flying with another, one with night vision equipment and without lights, while the other would have lights.
“I called the tower another day, and received the phone number for the FAA Standards unit in Oregon. The person there at the FAA said that this did not sound like anything he’d ever heard of before, but offered some good information. He said that if aircraft fly along the river often. If they are flying low in Washington, they probably won’t show up on radar, and these sounded like they were running within 500 feet of the ground. He said that aircraft that are running below 1000 feet don’t need to talk to the tower. Also, that military aircraft don’t always follow the rules. He suggested training for putting out fires this coming summer.
“Called Bill Puckett, who gave good advice about aircraft details and radar. He was very helpful, but I decided that there’s no doubt that there were helicopters involved. As for the other object, any radar data would be inconsequential, as the helicopter and the object were so close together they would show up as one object, even if radar had a blip. He said that Troutdale has an airport that is set up to accommodate military planes. Troutdale is just south of Washougal.”

“MUFON Case #75413 was the same night, and almost the same description. The witness in that correlating case was able to see the object for a longer time.
“Considering that this object was in front of the helicopter and not slung underneath it, was not lighted, and made no sound but moved as fast as the helicopter, I conclude that this was an Unknown. It may have been a military vehicle, but not one known to this investigator at this time, so it is still Unknown.”
Battle Ground is a city in Clark County, Washington, population 17,571. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
There is a report created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) which is mainly about President Putin, and is circulating in the Kremlin today. The report states that Pope Benedict XVI was forced to resign this past week over Catholic Church fears that this 85-year-old leader of over 1 billion Christians was “mentally and physically unprepared” to deal with the coming revelation about the truth of alien beings.
In our 22 January report, ‘Russia Orders Obama – Tell World About Aliens, or We Will,’ we detailed how the issue of extraterrestrial beings was brought to the forefront of the World Economic Forum (WEF) with the naming in their 2013 Executive Summary of the danger posed to our world over the discovery of alien life with their stating:
“Proof of life elsewhere in the universe could have profound psychological implications for human belief systems.”
In addition, it was noted in our previous report were Prime Minister Medvedev’s 7 December 2012 off-air comments to reporters which were recorded and wherein he stated:
“Along with the briefcase with nuclear codes, the president of the country is given a special ‘top secret’ folder. This folder in its entirety contains information about aliens who visited our planet…
Along with this, you are given a report of the absolutely secret special service that exercises control over aliens on the territory of our country… More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called Men In Black…
I will not tell you how many of them are among us because it may cause panic.”
Spurring Pope Benedict XVI to become the first leader of the Catholic Church to resign in nearly 600 years, this MFA report says, was the appearance over Los Cristianos, Spain on 21 August 2011 of the long prophesized “bird of prey” interplanetary spacecraft, and which was followed nearly 3 weeks ago with a fleet of them appearing in the skies over Mexico City
To fully understand the significance of these “bird of prey” UFO’s, this report continues, files relating to the 27 September 1989 Voronezh Incident must be studied in length, especially as it relates to the “messages” delivered to eyewitnesses from the “giants”.
In an 11 October 1989 New York Times article about the Voronezh Incident titled ‘UFO Landing Is Fact, Not Fantasy, the Russians Insist’ it says:
“It is not a joke, nor a hoax, nor a sign of mental instability, nor an attempt to drum up local tourism by drawing the curious, the Soviet press agency Tass insisted today in discussions of what it called an extraterrestrial visit to southern Russia.
Residents of the city of Voronezh insisted today that lanky, three-eyed extraterrestrial creatures had indeed landed in a local park and gone for a stroll and that a seemingly fantastic report about the event carried Monday by the official press agency Tass was absolutely true.
The three-eyed creature, about nine feet tall and fashionably dressed in silvery overalls and bronze boots and with a disk on its chest, disappeared, then landed and came out for a promenade with a companion and a robot.
The aliens seemed to communicate with each other, producing the mysterious appearance of a shining triangle, and activated the robot with a touch.”
Regarding these “messages” from the Voronezh “giants”, this MFA report says, was the warning to human beings that when these “bird of prey” UFO’s descend upon Earth the whole planet will be in peril.
The Voronezh “giants” further related, this report says, that the alien beings associated with these “bird of prey” UFO’s were the cause of the 14 April 1561 massive “sky battle” over Nuremberg, Germany which was depicted in a famous 16th century woodcut by Hans Glaser and described by the residents as:
“A very frightful spectacle.”
“The sky appeared to fill with cylindrical objects from which red, black, orange and blue white disks and globes emerged. Crosses and tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared whereupon the objects promptly began to fight one another.”
Important to note is that the Catholic Christian faith headed by Pope Benedict XVI, as well as nearly every other religion on Earth, all prophesize in their teachings a time when the “gods” will return to our planet and engage in a battle that could very well bring our entire planet to the brink of destruction.
Equally important to note about Pope Benedict XVI’s shock resignation is how it eerily compares with Saint Malachy, who as an Irish saint and Archbishop of Armagh, in the 12th Century, received a vision of 112 Popes later attributed to the apocalyptic list of Prophecy of the Popes.
He was the first Irish saint to be canonized by Pope Clement III in 1199.
In their 2012 book the American authors Tom Horn and Cris Putnam “Petrus Romanus – The Final Pope is Here” about Saint Malachy’s prophecies told interviewers last Spring that Pope Benedict XVI would resign by late 2012, or early 2013, and described the next Pope to follow as “Petrus Romanus,” or “Peter the Roman,” writing:
“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.”
Though the masses of people reading of the things this report contains will, undoubtedly, ridicule them, the same cannot be said of the elite moneyed classes who, even at this writing, are protecting themselves from “something” at such a fever-pitched pace it is destabilizing the entire global economy.
It was exampled at an article titled “What Do They Know That We Don’t?” and which, in part, says:
“Friday evening when no one was supposed to pay attention, Google announced that Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt would sell 3.2 million of his Google shares in 2013, 42% of the 7.6 million shares he owned at the end of last year – after having already sold 1.8 million shares in 2012. But why would he sell 5 million shares, about 53% of his holdings, with Google stock trading near its all-time high?
“Part of his long-term strategy for individual asset diversification and liquidity,” Google mollified us, according to the Wall Street Journal. Soothing words. Nothing but “a routine diversification of assets.”
Routine? He didn’t sell any in 2008 as the market was crashing. He didn’t sell at the bottom in early 2009. And he didn’t sell during the rest of 2009 as Google shares were soaring, nor in 2010, as they continued to soar. In 2011, he eased out of about 300,000 shares, a mere rounding error in his holdings. But in 2012, he opened the valves, and in 2013, he’d open the floodgates.
So it’s not ‘routine.’
Mr. Schmidt isn’t alone. Corporate insiders were “aggressively selling their shares,” reported Mark Hulbert. And they were doing so “at an alarming pace.” The buy sell-to-buy ratio had risen to 9.2-to-1; insiders had sold over 9 times as many shares as they’d bought. They’d been aggressive sellers for weeks.
Instantly, soothing voices were heard: ‘don’t be alarmed,’ they said.
But Mr. Schmidt and his colleagues at the top of corporate America, multi-billionaires many of them, are immensely well connected, not only to each other but also to the Fed, whose twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks they own and control.
The reason the Google Chairman Schmidt did not attend the World Economic Forum this year, is because of the fact that the danger of aliens was being discussed, and he went for a visit to North Korea instead and when coupled with the information contained in this MFA report, is far from being “soothing”, and is, instead, something well all should be very alarmed about as the end is much nearer than the beginning as those with “eyes to see” and “ears to hear” already know.
PLOTSELING ENORME TOENAME VUURBOLLEN WERELDWIJD ( VIDEO )
PLOTSELING ENORME TOENAME VUURBOLLEN WERELDWIJD ( VIDEO )
Het is ronduit crimineel te noemen dat de zaken waar het werkelijk om gaat in deze wereld uit het mainstream nieuws worden gehouden.
Zoals wanneer er dit jaar opeens een enorme toename plaatsvindt van vuurbollen in de lucht dit op iedere voorpagina ter wereld zou moeten staan.
Eén van de kenmerken van de elite is dat ze volkomen maling hebben aan het welzijn van de bevolking. Dat het ze een biet zal zijn of er drie, vier of vijf miljard mensen omkomen. Eigenlijk hebben ze dat wel liever, want dan is de planeet straks van hen.
Ze zijn zo arrogant dat ze denken hun zaakjes goed voor elkaar te hebben met hun ondergrondse schuilkelders, dat ze daar straks volkomen veilig zijn voor de dingen die gaan komen om daarna met een soort “schone” planeet opnieuw te kunnen beginnen.
Wij hebben al eerder geschreven over de enorme toename van vuurbollen in de lucht de afgelopen jaren.
Waar dan weer géén aandacht aan wordt besteed is het feit dat het aantal vuurbollen (meteorieten) die de aarde bereiken de laatste jaren schrikbarend is toegenomen.
Hieronder een grafiek voor Amerika, maar die geldt eigenlijk ook voor de rest van de wereld omdat dit fenomeen zich overal voordoet en niet is beperkt tot een bepaalde regio.
Dan zie je een explosieve stijging van vuurbollen gedurende de afgelopen paar jaar.
Waar we dus vorig jaar al een enorme toename zagen, wordt het dit jaar nog erger en wordt er door The American Meteor Society de afgelopen weken een explosieve toename van vuurbollen geconstateerd.
De kans dat er door de toename van het “ruimtepuin” dat op ons afkomt meer ongelukken op aarde zullen voor komen, neemt dan ook aanzienlijk toe. In plaats van dat de wereld zich gaat bezighouden met acties die objecten in de ruimte tijdig kunnen waarnemen en eventueel vernietigen, heerst er overal een dodelijke stilte. Laat staan dat er maatregelen worden genomen om de mensen op aarde te beschermen.
Iedereen heeft de afgelopen week kunnen lezen over de enorme bosbranden in Canada. Dat deze waarschijnlijk zijn veroorzaakt door de inslag van een meteoriet hoor je nergens. Als mogelijke verklaring wordt door de autoriteiten een sigarettenpeuk geopperd.
Zelfs het ISS ruimtestation ontsnapte niet aan puin uit de ruimte, want enkele dagen geleden stuurde astronaut Tim Peakeeen plaatje de wereld in met een foto van een 7 mm scheur in het raam van de Cupola module nadat dit raam was geraakt door een stuk van dit puin.
De volgende video is een compilatie van vuurbollen in de lucht gedurende de afgelopen week.
Nu wordt er gezegd dat er in de maanden maart en april meer meteorieten voor kwamen dan gewoonlijk omdat we door de staart van de komeet Hailey gingen. Misschien is dat zo, maar de enorme toename is niet alleen van één maand. Ze komen letterlijk van alle kanten op ons af en ook in de maand mei gaat het op volle kracht door.
In de volgende video gaat Youtube gebruiker Tom Lupshu in op de vraag waarom Rusland bezig is met een raket die de naam Satan 2 draagt en die maar liefst 12 kernkoppen bezit. Een explosieve kracht zo groot dat het complete landen ter grootte van Frankrijk van de kaart kan vegen.
Volgens Lupshu is er een andere reden dat Rusland dit soort raketten ontwikkelt. Niet om deze te gebruiken in een oorlog, want dat zou totaal zinloos zijn, maar wel om straks eventuele dreigingen vanuit de ruimte te kunnen uitschakelen.
De oorzaak van dit alles is duidelijk; deze brokstukken uit de ruimte komen niet zomaar spontaan op ons af.
We besluiten dan ook met een kort verhelderend stuk uit een eerder artikel van onze vaste columnist Evert Jan Poorterman:
In mijn visie en verwachting komt het mini-stelsel uit de richting van Groenland/Canada, dus noordelijker dan jullie bron in de onderstaande tekst stelt. Daarom ook bouwde men duizenden jaren geleden de ‘schuilkelders’, die wij kennen als ‘hunebedden’, ‘longbarrows’ en ‘dolmen’ (en in America als ‘quaboghs’). Dat was omdat de stenenregens, veroorzaakt door het mini-stelsel, uit de astroïdengordel komen. Daarom wereldwijd, maar vooral in Europa, een band van schuilkelders van Zuid-Zweden, Denemarken, Duitsland...
Nederland, België, Frankrijk, Engeland, Wales, Ierland en Spanje... en zelfs tot in Marokko. Dus een band over west-Europa van schuilkelders voor de bevolkingen. Dus geen praalgraven voor het stamhoofd, maar een schuilkelder voor de hele dorp. Dan het volgende; de passage van het mini-stelsel zal niet vóór de Zon zijn, maar achter de Zon. Het stelsel draait om de Zon want wordt door de Zon aangetrokken in hun baan. Zou het mini-stelsel voor de Zon langs gaan dan zou het mini-stelsel botsen in de Zon. Dat is mogelijk maar gebeurt niet.
De ster van dit mini-stelsel is half zo groot als de Zon, maar zijn ‘halo’ zou inderdaad zo groot kunnen oplichten dat hij vergelijkbaar even groot is als de Zon en de Maan (optisch). Als wij achter de Zon zitten ten opzichte van de tweede ster, bedraagt de afstand 580 miljoen kilometer. Zitten we aan de andere kant; de kant waar ook de tweede ster passeert in zijn ronde om de Zon, bedraagt de afstand slechts 280 miljoen kilometer. Dus een paar maanden eerder of later in tijdverschil maakt voor ons op dit kleine planeetje heel veel uit.

Glowing UFO Disk Hovers Over Water In Argentina On Feb 19, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: February 19, 2016 Location of sighting: Between Sauce Viejo and Coronado, Argentina News source: http://inexplicata.blogspot.tw
Its not often we get a UFO sighting thats over the water so this exciting. Look closely and you can see the reflection of the light bouncing off the water below the UFO. These lights are actually one single craft. The real question is...whats it doing over the water? Or...did it come from below the surface, from an alien base far below? Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Inexplicata News states: Source: Planeta UFO and CEFORA Date: 05.17.2016 Argentina: A UFO Sighting in Desvio Arijon, Santa Fe By Andrea Pérez Simondini. It is interesting to see people make themselves available to research, entrusting their account to our team to bring it to the readers' attention, seeking perhaps the possibility of other witnesses to the case, and if not, information on other cases having the same characteristics. Fact Sheet: Location: Desvío Arijón - between Sauce Viejo and Coronda, Province of Santa Fe (Argentina) Date: Friday, February 19, 2016 Witness: Luciano Castro So it was that we received a message from Leandro Castro on Facebook, detailing the sighting of an object that he was also able to photograph.
Text of the message:
"Hi Andrea! Good evening. I'm Leandro Castro, I'm from the locality of Desvío Arijón, a little town between Sauce Viejo and Coronda in the Province of Santa Fe. I live by the Coronda River, and I took the photo on Friday, February 19 after one of the heavy storms we had that month. In the photo you can see something flying over the river...it was spectacular, on account of its lights and how close it was! Regrettably, we took some photos with our cellphones and they cannot be seen clearly, but I was able to pull out a little digital camera and take two shots. Having not used the camera for a while, its battery was running low and it turned off...it almost seemed deliberate, ha,ha...well, Andrea, I hope you can use this photo. I have been following your page for a long time, and someday I'll visit your museum. Best regards!"
Conspiracy Theorists Witnessed Aircraft flying 50 to 100 times Faster over Australia
Conspiracy Theorists Witnessed Aircraft flying 50 to 100 times Faster over Australia
Conspiracy theory is any speculations or explanations, suggesting that more than two people have conspired with each other to cover up intentionally, and deliberately a situation or incident that were regarded as harmful or illegal. Apparently, conspiracy theorists do not necessarily believe or reject the whole situation. It just means that they know something but choose to conceal the event for safety purposes. However, the recent incident shows that they witnessed a vessel hovering over Australia, and believed that it is a UFO. It was the flight tracker app that detected the mysterious object. According to them, it flew 50 to 100 times at a faster speed compared to a typical aircraft.
Based on the flight tracker app, different planes were operating in the area, and among them, it was the mysterious flying vessel that stands out. As stated, the rest of the planes were flying over New South Wales in Australia, and while they moved at a steady speed, one object travels faster than the others.
The images were spotted and recorded yesterday, and were uploaded on YouTube, which garnered 31,000 views. Despite witnessing by conspiracy theorist, it appears that most viewers were not convinced that the footage is genuine. According to one YouTube user, the trackers apps utilizes ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast). But one viewer believes that it was a mysterious object because the airliner’s average speed is around 700 miles per hour, and the mere fact that it moved 50 times, it is faster more like hundred times faster than other air vessels.
Another user commented stating that not even a rocket or anything in the orbit can travel that fast. While many debunked the footage as a hoax, others still believe the mystery of the video. It has not been announced, but it seems like UFOs are becoming the worst kept secret in the world.
What Was The World’s Earliest Documented UFO Sighting?
What Was The World’s Earliest Documented UFO Sighting?
UFOs – Unidentified Flying Objects – are real. Of course they are: Hundreds of people see mysterious objects in the sky all the time. However, some are considered by a more eccentric few to represent something more enigmatic and alien. Either way, there have been reported sightings of these levitating blobs and lights for years. Now, a historian has revealed that he has uncovered evidence of what may be the first-ever documented UFO sighting – which was made in Hull, England, way back in 1801.
Although the earliest UFO image was taken from the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire, in 1870, sightings of these mysterious objects may have stretched back even earlier, with some evidence only put down in writing. Mike Covell, an author and historian, perused through newspaper archives from the beginning of the 19th century, and discovered a written description in the newspaper, the Northampton Mercury, of a huge, moon-like orb that appeared over the city at roughly 1:00 a.m. on July 11, 1801, accompanied by a weird blue light.
The “immense moon” also had a black bar running across it. According to the Mirror, the report said: “It seemed then to form itself into seven small distinct moons or globes of fire which disappeared for the space of a few seconds. Its reappearance was equally brilliant, at first showing itself like the face of the moon, afterwards in five circular balls, and lastly like several small stars which gradually faded away, leaving the whole atmosphere brilliantly illuminated.”
Another local newspaper, the Chester Chronicle, described the weird blue light emitted by the object – but a week later, on July 17.
It isn’t immediately clear that a UFO sighting older than this hasn’t also occurred – perhaps the records haven’t been checked yet. In fact, according to TIME, the earliest UFO sighting in recorded history can be found in 4th century Chinese tomes, which claim that a “moon boat” hovered above the country every 12 years.
“There is a lot of portraits showing stuff flying about in the sky from Biblical times. But it is all open to interpretation – whereas this is real evidence,” Mr. Covell told the Mirror.
We’re not particularly convinced that a written report about a strange light in the sky is conclusive proof of what is inferred to be an alien UFO. Distressingly, the description of the moon-like UFO makes it sound somewhat like the Death Star. Perhaps it did come from a galaxy far, far away after all.

Fusion Reactor Powers Futuristic Airliner
Fusion Reactor Powers Futuristic Airliner
By Glenn McDonald, Discovery News
Credit: Oscar Viñals/Tuvie
If today's aviation advances aren't moving fast enough for you — tray table technology hasn't budged in decades — you'll want to check out the futuristic visions of Spanish industrial designer Oscar Viñals.
The Flash Falcon is a future concept jetliner powered by portable fusion reactors. That technology isn't here yet, of course, but Viñals kind of specializes in "what if?" scenarios.
After all, this is the man who brought us the Sky Whale passenger airliner and the enormous GIGAbay cargo plane.
Viñals' latest creation is currently featured on the design-forward website Tuvie, which is a fun place to browse any day of the week, really. In additions to a collection of rather gorgeous images, Viñals provides some technical details on his space-age concept aircraft.
The Flash Falcon design envisions a future where small fusion reactors can power advanced and incredibly powerful electric-combustion (EC) engines. Thrust is generated by superconductive fans along with special combustion chambers.
The Flash Falcon's engines would be flexible and powerful enough to enable vertical take-off and landing. At cruising altitudes, the aircraft could easily attain supersonic speeds up to Mach 3. That will get you from New York to Paris in about three hours.
In its current design iteration, the Flash Falcon could carry upwards of 250 passengers on two roomy decks. The wings are designed to be flexible as well, and can change their angle of inclination in relation to the central fuselage.
Up in the cockpit, holographic windows give the pilots expanded views and control options. Viñals has even included a theoretical "Sound Boom Eraser System" for muffling the noise generated when the aircraft penetrates the sound barrier.
Such a polite young man. Check out the project page for more details and blueprints.
New 3D Printer Uses Lasers to Print Metal Objects in Mid-Air
New 3D Printer Uses Lasers to Print Metal Objects in Mid-Air
WYSS Institute
IN BRIEF
A team led by researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute have created a 3D metal printer that uses laser-assisted direct ink technology, allowing users to create metallic structures made out of silver mid-air.
OVERCOMING LIMITATIONS BY INNOVATION
From human bones to jet engine parts, products made through 3D printing technology have been increasingly transforming our world. The potential is limitless, and perhaps, at some point, it may no longer be a question of “what else can it print?” but “how else can we print?”
In a recent press release, scientists from Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering announce that they have just constructed a new 3D printer that could spew out conductive metallic ink at the microscale, possibly leading to more complex architectures and electronic devices.
It also has the ability to print objects in mid-air. By printing in mid-air, users can create freeform objects and patterns that were not possible using traditional 3D printers.
RE-ENGINEERING PRINTING
The team was led by Wyss Core Faculty member Jennifer Lewis, and she describes their technology as a “laser-assisted direct ink writing method,” in the report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The 3D metal printer has a nozzle that uses ink composed of silver nanoparticles, and as the ink is being sent out of the nozzle, it is also directly annealed through a precisely programmed laser.
The researchers indicate that this was devised with a heat transfer model to control the distance between the nozzle and the laser, allowing for the ‘on-the-fly’ printing. This level of control allows for the wires to be printed directly on plastic surfaces due to the localized laser heating.
Apart from that, the printer nozzle, which looks much like a pen, is capable of positioning along the x, y, and z axes. Combined with a rotary print stage, you could, in fact, create precise curvilinear shapes like butterfly wire frames.
The silver wires were noted to exhibit excellent electrical conductivity, which the researchers believe could lead to nearly limitless applications. Highly customized electronics, wearables, biomedical devices, and various architectures are just some of the imagined products that this printer could bring the world of technology.
Ultimately, the institute asserts that technology is a testament on how it’s still possible toinnovate current technologies, even ones as sophisticated as 3D printing.

Can We Talk to E.T.? Workshop Mulls Alien Intelligence
Can We Talk to E.T.? Workshop Mulls Alien Intelligence
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
Astronomers, biologists and other scientists are discussing the nature of alien intelligence during a daylong workshop on May 18, 2016, at the International Space Development Conference in Puerto Rico.
During the daylong workshop, called "The Intelligence of SETI: Cognition and Communication in Extraterrestrial Intelligence," astronomers, biologists and other researchers will discuss the best ways to craft a message that could potentially be understood by alien civilizations.
This effort will draw upon the incredible diversity of life on Earth, conference organizers and participants said.
"Philosophical questions aside, from a pragmatic perspective, if we are to send a message, we must design it in a way that it can be understood and used by the broadest range of forms that intelligent life could take," University of Washington biologists Dominic Sivitilli and David Gire said in a statement. "We can make substantial progress toward this goal by understanding the diversity of forms that intelligent life has taken on this planet."
For example, it's possible that sexual selection — which drives the evolution of traits that don't aid survival but do impress potential mates — has played a larger role in the development of human intelligence than "normal" natural selection, said biologist Anna Dornhaus of the University of Arizona.
"If this is true, then we should expect cognitive ability — i.e., learning, memory, abstraction and many other elements of intelligence — to be commonplace in the galaxy as they are among organisms on Earth," Dornhaus said in the same statement. "But 'exaggerated' intelligence, as in humans, may be a rare accident of chance, as rare as a peacock's tail."
The Search for Intelligent Life Among the Stars: New Strategies
The SETI workshop is part of the National Space Society's International Space Development Conference (ISDC), which takes place from today through Sunday (May 22) in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
"By launching ISDC 2016 with a daylong meeting on the nature of intelligence in the universe, we set the stage for an engaging conference that includes sessions on the habitability of other worlds, the latest research from Arecibo Observatory and updates on cutting-edge space missions like Breakthrough Starshot to Alpha Centauri (Pete Worden) and New Horizons to Pluto (Alan Stern)," said Dave Dressler, ISDC 2016 program chairman.
Send Astronauts to Mars to Find Evidence of Life, NASA's Top Scientist Says
Send Astronauts to Mars to Find Evidence of Life, NASA's Top Scientist Says

The chances are good that microbial life existed on Mars long ago, and sending astronauts to the Red Planet is the best way to find the evidence, NASA's chief scientist said.
Do you think life exists on Mars today?
Yes - The Red Planet is teeming with tiny microbes, we just haven't found them yet.
Yes - An advanced civilization lives below the surface, where we can't detect them.
No - Life never existed on Mars.
No - Mars once had life, but those organisms are long dead.
Though Mars is cold and dry today, the planet hosted liquid water on its surface for extended periods more than 3 billion years ago, Ellen Stofan pointed out during a talk Tuesday (May 17) at the Humans to Mars Summit in Washington, D.C.
"Those conditions on Mars, we know, were not that different from the conditions on Earth from when life evolved," she said. "And life evolved so quickly here on Earth, and in the oceans, that it gives the scientific community a fair amount of confidence that the same conditions did exist on Mars, and that life did evolve there. So how are we going to find it?" [The Search for Life on Mars (A Photo Timeline)]
Scientists know that life had evolved on Earth by 3.8 billion years ago, and a recent study suggested that the first microbes actually might have appeared by 4.1 billion years ago — just 440 million years after the planet formed.
Earth life-forms stayed simple for a long time after that; complex, multicellular organisms didn't get a firm foothold here until 800 million years ago or so. By that time, the Red Planet had long since lost most of its atmosphere, as well as its stable surface water. So the hunt for life on Mars should think small, Stofan said.
"We're not looking for skeletons; we're looking for fossil microbes — if [Mars] life did indeed go extinct," she said. "And those are going to be hard to find."
Indeed, field geologists here on Earth can study rocks rich in fossil microbes but never see the tiny structures, said Stofan, who is a geologist. Therefore, she thinks robots won't be able to do the job by themselves on Mars, especially considering how high the burden of proof will be for such an epochal discovery.
"I strongly believe we will never settle this question of determining whether or not there's life on Mars unless we get human scientists down onto the surface of the Red Planet," Stofan said.
No planet is more steeped in myth and misconception than Mars. This quiz will reveal how much you really know about some of the goofiest claims about the red planet.
The search for Mars life is, therefore, a strong motivation for putting boots on the Red Planet, which NASA aims to do by 2040. But there are other drivers as well, Stofan said.
"Every time I go out into a classroom — whether it was a D.C. high school I went to last week, elementary schools around the world — you ask those kids, 'Do you want to go to Mars?' And over half the room raises their hand," she said. "So let's get this done. Let's go to Mars."
Een groep sterrenkundigen van Sterrenwacht Leiden zoekt naar sterrenstelsels aan de rand van het waarneembare heelal. Maar wat is de rand van het heelal? En waarom kunnen we niet verder kijken?
Zoeken naar sterrenstelsels aan de rand van ons waarneembare heelal. Dat is waar een groep sterrenkundigen van de Sterrewacht Leiden, waar ik mijn promotieonderzoek deed, zich mee bezig houdt. Maar wat is de rand van het heelal? Het heelal is tenslotte oneindig groot. Maar hoe verder we het heelal inkijken, hoe verder we terugkijken in de tijd. Kort na de oerknal was het heelal ondoorzichtig omdat alle materie, voornamelijk waterstof en helium, in geïoniseerde toestand verkeerde. 380.000 jaar na de oerknal was de temperatuur van het heelal zo ver gedaald dat de waterstofionen elektronen konden invangen en er voor het eerst atomen ontstonden. We noemen dit proces recombinatie. Lichtstralen konden zich nu voor het eerst vrij door de ruimte bewegen en het heelal werd doorzichtig. Daarom kunnen we niet verder terugkijken dan 380.000 jaar na de oerknal. Voorbij deze ‘grens’ zien we niets meer. De ruimte houdt niet op, maar de tijd en de eindige leeftijd van het heelal begrenzen tot hoever we kunnen kijken. Binnen die grens bevindt zich het waarneembare universum.
“HET LICHT VAN STERRENSTELSELS AAN DE RAND VAN ONS HEELAL IS VAAK WEL 13,4 MILJARD JAAR ONDERWEG OM ONS TE BEREIKEN”
Lang onderweg Het licht van sterrenstelsels aan de rand van ons heelal is vaak wel 13,4 miljard jaar onderweg om ons te bereiken. Dat is 97% van de tijd sinds de oerknal. Dit betekent niet dat de huidige afstand tussen ons en deze sterrenstelsels ook 13,4 miljard lichtjaar is. Sinds het uitzenden van dat licht is het heelal namelijk flink uitgedijd en het stelsel staat nu dus veel verder dan 13,4 miljard lichtjaar van ons vandaan. Ook zien deze sterrenstelsels er vandaag de dag niet meer uit zoals ze op ons computerscherm achter de telescoop verschijnen. Met de tijd zullen de sterrenstelsels zijn gegroeid, samengesmolten met hun naaste buren en misschien zijn het zelfs wel rode en ‘dode’ stelsels geworden, waarin geen stervorming meer plaatsvindt. Dat weten we pas over vele miljarden jaren wanneer het licht dat nu deze stelsels verlaat bij ons op aarde is aangekomen.
De Melkweg.
Baby-Melkweg Op dezelfde manier zou er nu een beschaving kunnen zijn in dit sterrenstelsel aan de rand van het heelal dat terug in de tijd kijkt naar onze Melkweg. Ze zien daar niet onze prachtige geordende spiraalarmen en roterende schijf, maar onze Melkweg hoe die er 13.4 miljard jaar geleden uitzag. Waarschijnlijk was de baby-Melkweg een klein hoopje sterren dat verder veel turbulent gas bevatte. Wij zullen onze eigen geschiedenis nooit direct zien, wél die van andere stelsels in het vroege universum, sterrenstelsels die nu misschien wel op ons lijken. Daarmee kunnen we toch iets over onze eigen geschiedenis leren.
Het reïonisatietijdperk De sterrenstelsels in het vroege heelal waar we naar zoeken bevinden zich in het zogenoemde reïonisatietijdperk. De fase in de geschiedenis van het heelal die na de hierboven beschreven recombinatie volgt, toen het heelal gevuld was met neutraal waterstofgas, wordt vaak met ‘het donkere tijdperk’ aangeduid (zie de afbeelding hieronder). Sterren waren er toen nog niet. Zij ontstonden pas een paar honderd miljoen jaar na de oerknal en kort daarop waren de eerste sterrenstelsels een feit. Deze sterrenstelsels kunnen wij nu in principe zien aan de rand van het waarneembare heelal.
Grafische weergave van de geschiedenis van het heelal. Het donkere tijdperk begon ca. 380.000 jaar na de oerknal en eindigde enkele honderden miljoen jaren later, toen de energierijke straling van de eerste sterrenstelsels het neutrale waterstofgas in het heelal opnieuw ioniseerde.

Raadsel in de sterrenkunde De geboorte van deze sterrenstelsels valt samen met het begin van het herionisatietijdperk. De eerste sterren en sterrenstelsels produceerden zoveel energierijke ultraviolette straling dat bijna al het neutrale waterstof in het heelal opnieuw in losse ionen en elektronen gesplitst werd. Deze faseovergang van het kosmische gas vormt al decennia lang een van grootste raadsels in de sterrenkunde. We zien de toestand van het gas veranderen in de metingen van vroege quasars (actieve zwarte gaten die omringende materie opslokken en daarbij enorme hoeveelheden energie vrijmaken), maar hoe het mogelijk is dat de kleine baby-stelsels uit die tijdsperiode genoeg energierijke straling kunnen produceren om het waterstofgas in het heelal opnieuw te ioniseren, is zeker nog niet duidelijk. Er zijn aanwijzingen dat de eerste sterren in het heelal uitzonderlijk zwaar en heet waren en daardoor voldoende ioniserende straling produceerden (zie de afbeelding hieronder). Of misschien was het de vrijgemaakte energie door de eerste quasars en andere materieopslokkende zwarte gaten.

Pas sinds een aantal jaar zijn we in staat om sterrenstelsels uit het reïonisatietijdperk te identificeren. Dit is zeker geen makkelijk karwei, maar omdat deze stelsels ons zoveel kunnen leren over deze vroege fase uit de geschiedenis van het heelal en de geschiedenis van onze eigen Melkweg, wordt er veel geïnvesteerd in dit onderzoek.
DIE STIPJES ZIJN BIJNA ALTIJD STERRENSTELSELS DIE HEEL VER WEG STAAN EN WAARVAN HET LICHT AL MILJARDEN JAREN NAAR ONS ONDERWEG IS
Stipjes in de ruis De eerste stap in het speuren naar sterrenstelsels aan de rand van het heelal is het zoeken naar de meest lichtzwakke objecten aan de hemel. De beroemde Hubble Space Telescope is daar uitstekend toe in staat. Elk jaar stelt het Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute een gedeelte van haar data vrij beschikbaar aan het publiek zodat sterrenkundigen (maar ook niet-sterrenkundigen) daar optimaal gebruik van kunnen maken en iedereen de mogelijkheid heeft om zelf naar de meest interessante objecten te zoeken. Een aantal gebieden aan de hemel zijn door de jaren heen zo vaak waargenomen dat de opgetelde belichtingstijd meer dan 100 uur beslaat. Door vele Hubble-opnames in de computer bij elkaar samen te voegen kunnen we de achtergrondruis steeds verder onderdrukken en zien we opeens allerlei piepkleine stipjes verschijnen. Die stipjes zijn bijna altijd sterrenstelsels die heel ver weg staan en waarvan het licht al miljarden jaren naar ons onderweg is.

De kleur bepalen De volgende stap is om met grote precisie de kleur van een sterrenstelsel te bepalen. Hoe verder een stelsel van ons af staat, hoe meer de golflengten van het licht zijn uitgerekt als gevolg van de uitdijing van het heelal. Het uitgerekte licht van vroege sterrenstelsels heeft nu een veel rodere kleur dan toen het werd uitgezonden. We spreken daarom van roodverschuiving. Hoe roder de kleur, hoe groter de afstand van het sterrenstelsel, hoe langer het licht van dat stelsel naar ons onderweg is en hoe verder wij het stelsel terug zien in de tijd. Door de rode kleur van sterrenstelsels te kwantificeren kunnen we zien uit welke tijdsperiode van het heelal het licht van een sterrenstelsel afkomstig is. Voor dit soort waarnemingen heeft Hubble camera’s met verschillende filters die voor de opnamechip geplaatst kunnen worden. Deze kleurenfilters laten heel specifieke golflengten door, bijvoorbeeld alleen blauw, groen of rood licht. Vervolgens proberen we zo nauwkeurig mogelijk de helderheid van een sterrenstelsel te meten door verschillende filters. Typisch worden zo’n 4 tot 7 opnames met verschillende filters gebruikt om een goede kleurbepaling te doen. Zo kunnen we de meest rode lichtbronnen en daarmee de beste kandidaten voor sterrenstelsels uit het reïonisatietijdperk uitselecteren.
Afstandsbepalingen met spectroscopie Een kleurbepaling levert alleen een schatting van de afstand van een sterrenstelsel op het moment dat het licht uitgezonden werd. Voor nauwkeurigere afstandsbepaling willen we met grote precisie de roodverschuiving meten. Dit doen we door gebruik te maken van spectraallijnen van verschillende atomen in het interstellaire gas van een sterrenstelsel. De golflengte waarop de spectraallijnen van een bepaald atoom worden uitgezonden staat vast en vormt een unieke vingerafdruk van dat element. Een gevoelige spectrograaf kan zelfs in sterrenstelsels aan de rand van het heelal deze spectraallijnen waarnemen. Zo kunnen we een directe vergelijking maken van de golflengte waarop de lijn in het verre sterrenstelsel waargenomen is en welke golflengte deze lijn in een aards laboratorium heeft. Het verschil tussen de twee golflengtes vertelt ons met zeer hoge nauwkeurigheid de roodverschuiving van het sterrenstelsel.
Lyman-alpha Het overvloedig aanwezige waterstofgas in het heelal ‘produceert’ duidelijke spectraallijnen. De belangrijkste waterstoflijn heet Lyman-alpha, op een golflengte (zonder roodverschuiving) van 121.6 nanometer (nm). Door de hoge roodverschuiving meten we deze lijn in sterrenstelsels in het vroege universum typisch rond de 1000 nm. We vergelijken dit met het licht dat het menselijk oog waarneemt. De kleuren van de regenboog liggen in het golflengtegebied tussen 380 en 780 nm. De Lyman-alpha-lijn van waterstofgas straalt hier op aarde in het voor ons onzichtbare ultraviolette deel van het spectrum, maar verschuift helemaal naar het nabije infrarood voor deze verre sterrenstelsels waar het opnieuw onzichtbaar is voor onze ogen. Tot een paar jaar geleden werd Lyman-alpha veelvuldig gebruikt om vervolgonderzoek te doen aan sterrenstelsels die met Hubble waren geïdentificeerd als belangrijke kandidaat-stelsels in het vroege heelal. De afstanden van deze extreem verre stelsels werden bepaald met state-of-the-art nabij-infraroodspectrografen. Deze sterrenstelsels werden echter gevonden in de tijdsperiode nét na het reïonisatietijdperk. In het reïonisatietijdperk komen nog steeds grote hoeveelheden neutraal waterstofgas verspreid in het heelal voor. Neutraal waterstof absorbeert het Lyman-alpha-licht, zodat de eerste sterren en sterrenstelsels die tijdens het reïonisatietijdperk op het kosmische toneel verschenen, voor ons onzichtbaar blijven. Het neutrale waterstofgas in het reïonisatietijdperk is te vergelijken met de mist van het kosmische ochtendgloren waar we nauwelijks doorheen kunnen kijken.
Momenteel in aanbouw, de James Webb Telescoop.

James Webb Telescope Het is daarom uitermate moeilijk om sterrenstelsels in het reïonisatietijdperk te identificeren met behulp van waterstoflijnen. Hoewel het theoretisch mogelijk is om sterrenstelsels te identificeren met behulp van andere atomaire spectraallijnen, zijn er op dit moment geen instrumenten die gevoelig genoeg zijn en in het juiste golflengtegebied opereren voor deze waarnemingen. We hopen dat over een paar jaar hierin verandering zal komen met de lancering van de James Webb Space Telescope, maar tot die tijd zijn we voornamelijk van Lyman-alpha afhankelijk. Voorlopig blijft daarom de vraag: is het lage succesgehalte van het opsporen van verre sterrenstelsels met Lyman-alpha het gevolg van de absorptie door neutraal waterstof of is onze voorselectie die we met Hubble maken nog niet goed genoeg? Het nemen van spectra kan alleen via lange belichtingstijden met grote aardse telescopen, waardoor het belangrijk is om alleen de meest veelbelovende kandidaten te onderzoeken. Want hoe beter je selectie van kandidaat-sterrenstelsels door middel van een kleurenanalyse, hoe groter de kans op een succesvolle spectroscopische identificatie.
Ruimtetelescoop Spitzer. Afbeelding: NASA.
Spitzer Space Telescope In Leiden maken we de laatste paar jaar naast Hubble steeds meer gebruik van deSpitzer Space Telescope. Spitzer heeft een veel kleinere spiegel, slecht 85 cm in diameter in plaats van 2.4 m zoals Hubble, maar heeft als voordeel dat de telescoop, anders dan Hubble, kan waarnemen in het verre infrarood. In mijn promotieonderzoek werkte ik veel met verre infraroodopnames van Spitzer. Er werd lang gedacht dat de infraroodstraling die we met Spitzer in sterrenstelsels waarnemen, vooral afkomstig is van sterren met een lage massa. Kleine, lichte sterren zijn minder heet en stralen daardoor het grootste deel van hun licht in het infrarood uit. Omdat er veel meer lichte sterren zijn dan zware, kun je de totale massa aan sterren in een sterrenstelsel meten door te kijken naar de totale hoeveelheid straling in het verre infrarood. Tijdens mijn promotieonderzoek voerde ik met Spitzer deze massabepaling uit op (kandidaat)sterrenstelsels uit het reïonisatietijdperk. Tijdens dat werk deed ik een onverwachte ontdekking: er bleek ‘extra’ flux (stralingsintensiteit) aanwezig te zijn in één van de opnames van Spitzer, genomen met één specifiek filter. De extra flux was duidelijk niet aanwezig in opnames met andere kleurenfilters. Na alle andere opties uitgesloten te hebben kwamen we tot de conclusie dat het extra licht afkomstig moet zijn van de spectraallijnen van zuurstofatomen in het hete gas rondom pasgeboren sterren.
Nader onderzoek Waarom dit licht zo sterk is, is nog niet duidelijk en wordt nog nader onderzocht. Maar nu we weten dat het hete gas in deze sterrenstelsels zoveel licht uitstraalt in het verre infrarood, moeten we daar zeker rekening mee houden in ons onderzoek. Ten eerste is het belangrijk dat we onze massabepalingen van sterrenstelsels niet laten beïnvloeden door deze onverwachte lichtbron. Daarnaast geeft het hete gas ons een extra mogelijkheid voor het identificeren van sterrenstelsels in het reïonisatietijdperk. De verste sterrenstelsels hebben namelijk het meest roodverschoven licht en dat geldt dus ook voor het ‘extra’ licht van het hete gas dat we waarnemen in de opnames met bepaalde Spitzer-filters.
Hoge lichtintensiteit Een groep wetenschappers in Leiden, Rychard Bouwens, Ivo Labbé, Mauro Stefanon, master-student Guido Roberts-Borsani en ikzelf, hebben verschillende Spitzer-opnames van sterrenstelsels onderzocht. Van deze stelsels vermoedden we al dat ze zich in het reïonisatietijdperk bevonden omdat de kleurmeting met Hubble daar op wees. Maar daarnaast hadden sommige sterrenstelsels ook een heel hoge lichtintensiteit in de opname met het meest rode filter van Spitzer. Een meting die bijna identiek was aan de sterrenstelsels met zuurstof-spectraallijnen die we al eerder hadden waargenomen, maar dan nóg verder roodverschoven! Deze ontdekking was de aanleiding voor een aantal vervolgwaarnemingen in samenwerking met wetenschappers Pascal Oesch (Yale University) en Adi Zitrin (Caltech) in de Verenigde Staten om te proberen een gedetailleerde afstandsbepaling te doen van de drie meest veelbelovende sterrenstelsels.
EEN VAN DEZE STELSELS, DATEREND VAN SLECHTS 650 MILJOEN JAAR NA DE OERKNAL, BRAK HET AFSTANDSRECORD
Het verste sterrenstelsel ooit Sinds 2013 was het record van het verste sterrenstelsel ooit gemeten en bevestigd met een Lyman-alpha-lijn op 1034 nm, in handen van een stelsel waarvan het licht 700 miljoen jaar na de oerknal was vertrokken. Het stelsel werd opgespoord door Steven Finkelstein van de universiteit van Austin, Texas, met behulp van de Amerikaanse Keck-telescoop op Hawaï. Steven onderzocht een klein dozijn sterrenstelsels en kon slechts bij één daarvan de afstand vaststellen. Om dit record te verbeteren kreeg Pascal Oesch waarneemtijd op dezelfde Keck-telescoop tijdens de nachten van 23 en 25 april 2014. Twee kandidaat-sterrenstelsels, eerder achterhaald met zowel Hubble als Spitzer, werden waargenomen, en verrassend genoeg ontdekte Oesch de Lyman-alpha-lijn in beide stelsels op 1031 en 1062 nm. Een van deze stelsels, EGS-zs8-1, dateerde van slechts 650 miljoen jaar na de oerknal en brak het afstandsrecord (zie hieronder).

Aangemoedigd door dit succes kreeg Adi Zitrin opnieuw de kans om op 10 en 11 juni 2015 een derde sterrenstelsel uit dezelfde Hubble en Spitzer-selectie te bestuderen met Keck. Opnieuw werd de Lyman-alpha lijn-vastgesteld, deze keer zelfs op 1178 nm. Het licht van dit stelsel, EGSY8p7, werd uitgezonden toen het heelal minder dan 600 miljoen jaar oud was (figuur 4 en 5). De identificatie van de ‘extra’ Spitzer-flux, veroorzaakt door het hete gas in stervormingsgebieden van extreem verre sterrenstelsels heeft in korte tijd grote gevolgen gehad voor de studie van deze stelsels aan de rand van het waarneembare heelal. Niet alleen deze nieuwe afstandsrecords zijn opmerkelijk, maar vooral de efficiëntie van het onderzoek: drie geselecteerde sterrenstelsels leverden drie Lyman-alpha-lijnen op waarmee de afstand kon worden bepaald. Betwisten deze ontdekkingen ons beeld dat neutraal waterstof in het reïonisatietijdperk Lyman-alpha absorbeert? Hoe kan het dat voorgaande studies slechts een efficiëntie van 5% konden bereiken?
Het verre sterrenstelsel, EGSY8p7, ontstond toen het heelal nog maar 550 miljoen jaar oud was. Deze recordhouder is ontdekt in afbeeldingen van de Hubble- en Spitzer-ruimtetelescopen. De bijzonder rode kleur in de infraroodafbeelding van Spitzer was aanleiding om het stelsel nader te onderzoeken. Astronomen hebben vervolgens met de Keck 1-telescoop op Hawaï de exacte afstand van het stelsel bepaald. Afbeelding: I. Labbé (Leiden University) / NASA / ESA / JPL-Caltech)
Het raadsel van de geïoniseerde bubbels Het waargenomen Lyman-alpha-licht in deze extreem verre sterrenstelsels is afkomstig uit het reïonisatietijdperk en stelt ons voor een raadsel. We weten dat er veel absorberend neutraal waterstof aanwezig was in het heelal rond die tijd, maar duidelijk zijn niet alle gebieden van het vroege universum compleet gevuld met dit gas. Want anders zouden we stelsels als EGS-zs8-1 en EGSY8p7 nooit kunnen waarnemen.

De roze vlekken markeren het einde van het donkere tijdperk en het begin van de reionisatie. Afbeelding: Adi Zitrin, Caltech.
Hypothese Eén mogelijke hypothese is dat deze sterrenstelsels zelf genoeg ioniserende straling hebben uitgezonden voor het vormen van een grote ‘bubbel’ of bel van geïoniseerd gas rondom het stelsel. De Lyman-alpha-straling kan deze bel ongehinderd doorkruisen, maar wordt onderweg roodverschoven – en verliest daardoor energie – als gevolg van de uitdijing van het heelal. Tegen de tijd dat het licht een gaswolk van neutraal waterstof tegenkomt kan die het Lyman-alpha-licht niet meer absorberen: de energie van de fotonen is daarvoor nu te laag. Dat lukt alleen als de bel een voldoende grote afmeting heeft. Tijdens de reis van het Lyman-alpa-licht door de bel moet de afgelegde afstand en de reistijd groot genoeg zijn om de expansie van het heelal zijn werk te laten doen. De roodverschuiving moet immers groot genoeg zijn om te voorkomen dat de straling in de ‘mist’ van het neutrale waterstof voorbij de grens van de geïoniseerde bubbel verdwijnt.
Hoe ontstaat zo’n bubbel? De vraag is nu: hoe is deze geïoniseerde bubbel ontstaan? Waar komt de ioniserende straling vandaan om dergelijke reusachtige bellen te vormen? Misschien bestaat er een verband met de mysterieuze spectraallijnen van zuurstof die deze drie sterrenstelsels hebben. Deze lijnen zijn afkomstig van het hete gas rondom de stervormingsgebieden in deze stelsels. Het zou kunnen dat in deze sterrenstelsels extreem hete sterren geboren worden die overmatig veel ioniserende ultraviolette straling produceren. Een aantal kandidaten zoals snel roterende sterren en massieve binaire sterren zijn voorgesteld, maar bewijs vinden voor één van deze theorieën is heel moeilijk. Misschien zal de James Webb-telescoop uitsluitsel geven.
Alternatief Een alternatieve hypothese voor de geïoniseerde bubbels zegt dat deze sterrenstelsels in een redelijk ver gevorderd stadium van hun evolutie verkeren. De grote helderheid van deze stelsels kan daarop wijzen. Ver ontwikkelde sterrenstelsels vormen vaak groepen en leven dus in overbevolkte gebieden. Dat zou betekenen dat er meerdere sterrenstelsels in de buurt moeten zijn en dat de gezamenlijke straling van deze groep sterrenstelsels een bel van geïoniseerd gas kan produceren. Om deze theorie te bevestigen zal er nog veel meer telescooptijd moeten worden geïnvesteerd, aangezien de sterrenstelsels in de directe nabijheid van onze nieuw ontdekte stelsels veel lichtzwakker zijn.
Voor onze onderzoeksgroep bestaat de eerstvolgende stap uit het verzamelen van een grotere steekproef van dit soort sterrenstelsels. We hebben meer kandidaten met Spitzer geselecteerd en nieuwe waarneemtijd is toegewezen aan Ivo Labbé door de European Southern Observatory om met de Very Large Telescope in Chili naar Lyman-alpha te zoeken in deze sterrenstelsels. We komen stapje voor stapje dichter bij het oplossen van het raadsels van het reionisatietijdperk en het vinden van sterrenstelsels in het meest vroege stadium van het heelal.

UPDATE: Executive Director Steve Bassett of The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure was paraphrased in the New York Times, also originally cited here. In a comment below he has provided a quote and a clarification that differs from how the Timesdescribed his position. The third paragraph from the bottom has been amended to reflect his clarification.
While past presidents and presidential candidates have joked about UFOs, Hillary Clinton is one of the first mainstream candidates to promise disclosure of classified Area 51, UFO and Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP) documents should she be elected president.
“I want to open the files as much as we can,” Clinton said in a recent radio interview. In the wake of a New York Times article that brought renewed attention to Clinton’s most unexpected campaign commitment, President Barack Obama’s White House was asked to respond.
The answer, from President Obama’s press secretary Josh Earnest, will disappoint UFO enthusiasts still hoping for disclosure on the federal level:
“I have to admit, I don’t have a tab for Area 51 in my briefing book today,” Earnest began. After a joke from the press corp. Earnest proposed a “grand conspiracy” to keep him from answering the question thoroughly.
“I’m not aware of any plans the President has to make public any information about this,” Earnest said, ending hope that UFO disclosure will come from the White House in 2016.
Steve Bassett, executive director of The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, believes Hillary Clinton’s openness on the issue will prompt the Obama administration to disclose classified extraterrestrial information. “Clinton’s presidential campaign and her connection to the ET issue may offer the best chance to end the truth embargo on the ET issue,” Bassett said. “Obama will be the Disclosure president — hopefully well before the November election.”
Not only has Clinton evinced a past interest in extraterrestrials — in 1995 she was photographed carrying Are We Alone?: Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life by Paul Davies (above) — but she’ll also have the backing of campaign chairman John Podesta, who has crusaded for the release of government information on unexplained aerial phenomena for decades.
While previous presidential administrations, Obama’s included, have treated declassification of Area 51 and UAP files as a joke, a Clinton presidency might at least take the demand seriously.

The Keeper of The Sanctuary Tells Us of Ancient Giants and UFOs
The Keeper of The Sanctuary Tells Us of Ancient Giants and UFOs
There’s a place in Romania where unusual sightings occur on a regular basis. From animated UFO sightings to spooky events that seem to defy all logic.
Located on a remote pasture in the Arges county, the mystical place dubbed “The Sanctuary” offers a panoramic view of the neighboring mountain chain of Bucegi, renowned for the numerous out-of-place artefacts discovered there, but also for their richness in gold.
Not far from here lies “The Sphinx,” an ancient monument considered to be a natural formation that strongly resembles the face of a human being. Legend has it that Zamolxis – the god of the ancient Romanian people (the Dacians), made his home and sanctuary beneath these mountains. Different accounts speak of how Zamolxis vanished deep within the labyrinth of caves to consult with his oracles about the faith of the vast region governed by him.
In 2009, the book Transylvanian Sunrise was published, causing an unprecedented debate among conspiracy theorists. The co-author of the book, Peter Moon, claimed to have worked in tandem with a secret intelligence officer of the Romanian government who revealed to him classified information about an unusual discovery dug-up by the Pentagon. The book reads the following.
“In 2003, the Pentagon discovered through the use of satellite technology, an anomaly beneath this ancient sphinx. Through the highest levels of Freemasonry, the Pentagon was able to secure an alliance with the most secret department of the Romanian Intelligence Service which is known as Department Zero.”
The find consisted in massive underground tunnels that led the U.S and Romanian governments to ancient and advanced technology. Some claimed they have found a Vimana, while others speak of a stargate, or a holographic hall of records buried underneath the Sphinx. Although the book is considered pure fiction by many, the possibility of such a discovery is extremely likely, and here is why:
First of all, there are countless local legends speaking of this mythical place. There are hundreds of unexplored caves alongside the mountain range of Bucegi, not counting the ones already discovered.
Secondly, there’s a written account dating from the First World War telling how the peasants from Dobrogea were using underground tunnels that stretched thousands of kilometers beneath the Black Sea. Through these underground passages they lead their herds of sheep into Turkey and Asia Minor, where they would sell them for a considerable profit.
There are two known entrances in the region of Dobrogea, but are now sealed due to national security reasons. The underground passage could be linked to the ancient tunnels that have recently been discovered in the Cappadocia region of Turkey, making this story less likely to be just a myth or coincidence.
In the 80s, a group of men working on the canal that unites the river Danube to the Black Sea, stumbled across another entrance that carried them from Romania to Bulgaria underneath the vast mass of water. All these tremendous discoveries are being suppressed by the Romanian and foreign governments.
However, there are many historians who acknowledge the long heritage of the Romanian people and the mysterious ways their ancestors ruled over the land thousands of years ago. According to Marja Gimbutas, professor at U.C.L.A, their bloodline stretches a considerable span of time.
“Romania is the hearth of what I name Old Europe, a cultural entity of 6.500 – 3.500 B.C., based on a matriarchal society, theocratic, peaceful, loving and creators of art, that preceded the patriarchal Indo-European societies of warriors from the bronze and iron age. It became evident that this ancient European civilization precedes the Sumerian by millennia. It was a period of harmony, in full agreement with the creator energies of nature.”
Of course, there are also the clay tablets discovered at Tartaria which bear an old writing similar to that of the Sumerians, but since they were dated to about 6,000 B.C., it directly contradicts the general accepted theory according to which the first writings belonged to the Sumerians and ancient Egyptians. Marco Merlini, an Italian archaeologists who studied the artefacts in detail, expressed his point of view:
“The bones, as well as the tablets are very old. It is a certainty. It is our turn to think that writing began in Europe, 2.000 years before the Sumerian writing. In Romania we have a great treasure, but it does not belong only to Romania, but to the whole of Europe.”
THE SANCTUARY
The twisted road led me to this hidden valley surrounded by cliffs and dense forests. I can barely settle because of the dazzling view, but maybe all this enthusiasm is because the place I’m about to visit promises to offer an even more impressive panorama. Only a few miles down the road and I see the first cave, suspended on a steep crag. Its broad entrance makes my sporadic curiosity go beyond the present, thinking of how easily an ancient civilization could had used that place to outlive a global catastrophe.
Although I have expected the cave to be a tourist attraction by now, the close-up view revealed through the binocular lenses disclosed that it was in fact a remote cave that couldn’t be accessed without special mountaineering equipment. At this point, the legendary feeling of the place was slowly becoming a reality.
The Keeper awaited me at the base of the hill. From there, we followed the path until we reached the high pastures. The world I knew vanished entirely after reaching the Sanctuary.
The tranquility of the place couple up with the breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape gave me a feeling of immortality, but not for me, this for this hidden wonder that passed the test of time, remaining unaltered after countless wars and an industrial revolution. Now I see why sky-watchers and conspirators alike gather here to exchange knowledge and investigate the UFO phenomenon.
Our host, Welcica, had once been a man of faith. Like every other Romanian, he had deep Christian roots transmitted from one generation to the other, but after the answers provided by religion were not enough to satisfy his thirst for universal knowledge, he was guided to this place where he would undergo a substantial transformation. A few years spent up here had shown him at least a dozen unexplained aerial phenomenon, and I’m not talking about the usual chem spraying riffraff we all know about.
Q: What was the most consistent UFO experience you’ve had up here?
A: I don’t have to think much about that, as I’ll never forget what I’ve witnessed back in 2014. The encounter was overwhelming. I am glad that I’m still here to tell the tale.
Q: You’re insinuating that your life was put in peril by a UFO encounter? Would you mind going into more details?
A: It was about …. When I was sitting relaxed on the porch together with two conspirators. We were discussing about the giant bones unearthed not far from here when one of us saw a strange light up in the horizon. At first, we didn’t pay much attention to it and carried on with our conversation, but as soon as every dog on the valley started barking, we pointed our eyes towards the sky. Now, I told you this place is strategically put, like the center of cauldron with rocky walls. You can only access it through where you came from, where the valleys are opening up. There we saw this bright, circular light that was slowly hovering over the lowlands. It was heading towards us, and as it did, the barking of the dogs became even louder.
Q: Could you break down the UFO a bit?
A: Before doing this, I would like to mention that it did not give me an overall feeling of safety. It looked light a sphere of light, but as it was moving, pieces from it seemed to be missing. It was not a complete sphere, but more like a liquid object swimming through the air. It continued to hover over the valley until it reached a point about 200-300 meters from where we were standing. Now I could see it better. Whenever it moved, its shape was vibrating and changing at the same time. I could see waves fluctuating out of its energy shield, almost like it was alive.
Q: So what distressed you about this encounter?
A: When it was close enough, I could see the faint, conic shape of another light emitted by the UFO. It strongly resembled a flashlight scouting in the dark. Then I realized it was looking for something, or maybe scanning the area. The tip of the iceberg was when the luminous sphere directed its light towards us. It stopped at about 150 meters on the right side of the cabin and scanned the face of my friend. My buddies and I were frozen in place at this point, unable to think of a reaction. The moment only lasted for approximately 5 seconds. Afterwards, the sphere took flight over the hill, slowly descending for the nearby village. It continued to move up and down without following a specific pattern.
Q: That’s a fascinating story. Do you have any viable explanation for it in mind?
A: At first I thought of it being some sort of military device, considering that they own technology far ahead of our time and also have several secret bases located in the mountains nearby. But after debating this with the other two witnesses, we’ve reached the conclusion of it being a living organism. It was very peculiar: the way it moved, morphed and reacted to the environment.
Q: Are there other notable experiences you would like to share?
A: I see strange things on a regular basis here. UFOs are something common, and I can now distinguish between what’s what, but this incident that I’ve mentioned beats the others by far. However, I sometimes see this red dot that’s locking on certain airplanes. It follows them and it doesn’t leave any visible trail behind. I suspect this to be a military device though.
The Hyperborean Gallery and Traces of Ancient Technology
Discussing certain ideas with The Keeper has lead me to the conclusion that he is more than a common online-reading conspirator. In fact, some of his stories are based on real experiences and thorough research that he’s done throughout the years. To cut this short, I’ll tell you about how he contributed to defending an area piled up with artefacts of extreme importance to cultural and world heritage.
Rosia Montana is a small town in Transylvania with an ongoing mining operation. The prospected materials (at least on the surface) are gold, silver, and precious stones that can be found in abundance in the Apuseni Mountains. Because mining involves a lot of digging, certain out-of-place items were discovered there, among the most interesting being the skeletal remains of a 10 meter (32.8 feet) tall giant unearthed back in 1976. (Check out the man standing next to the colossal skeleton to understand the huge proportions).
Approximately 5,500 years ago, the Agathyrsi – the ancient people of this area, constructed a complex gallery of underground tunnels. Various sources claim these tunnels led to a dome-like structure located deep within the Bucegi mountain range.
This ancient place, dubbed “The Hyperborean Gallery” or “Gallery 13”, was found underneath the Cornea village, the same place where Ceausescu – the Romanian communist dictator, discovered several giant bones and weapons in 1976. The remains were sent to Moscow because the Romanian state lacked the means to analyze them, but the Russian observations were never to arrive. There are only a few photos left that remind of the extraordinary find.
Fast forward to February 2012, when another remarkable discovery was dug up by a group of geologists operating not far from the location of Gallery 13. While following a certain gold vein, they stumbled upon an unusual gravestone made from different materials. A sample was sent for further investigations, and the results revealed that the composition of the tombstone included 55% gold dust, 15% granite dust and 30% wolfram, but the icing on the cake was the technique used in the carving process – declared unknown to this day.
The relic unearthed in 2012 shared a similar fate to the artifacts discovered in 1976 and no one knows its exact whereabouts. Measurements revealed its staggering proportions – six meters (19.7) wide, twelve meters (39.4 feet) long and three meters (9.8 feet) tall. It weighed close to 1,700 tons, containing about 900 tons of solid gold. To make another comparison, it would have taken the ancients more than twenty years to mine such a considerable amount of gold. The gravestone ended up in 80 small pieces because otherwise, it couldn’t had been transported.
Probably the most intriguing find occurred upon lifting of the gravestone, where archaeologists discovered an ample entrance on the bottom of the grave. A four meter (13.1 feet) diameter pit with a coiled stairway descending into another room illuminated by a mysterious milky-violet light was then revealed to the archaeological team. At first sight, the stairs appeared as carved into the wall using an extremely smooth and advanced method of laser precision. Although the overall discovery made the archaeological team really anxious, a daring volunteer decided to venture into the opening, but he was never to return from down there.
Accounts speak of how the army closed the entire Gallery 13 a few days later, sealing the underground pit under a dense layer of cement. Witnesses and those who participated in the expedition were obliged to sign confidentiality agreements and were never to speak of this unusual discovery ever again.
Although an official report has never been made available to the public, there are numerous rumors that succeeded in keeping the story alive. There is not much information available about what lies beyond the spiral staircase, but the swift intervention of the military indicates the radiant mechanism from within holds great power, possibly from the ancient dwellers of the Carpathian Mountains.
The Reptilians – Why they are so obsessed with Bloodline and Ritual
The Reptilians – Why they are so obsessed with Bloodline and Ritual
The reptilian and other entities, which are manipulating our world by possessing “human” bodies, operate in frequencies between the Third and Fourth densities.
These are referred to as “hidden spaces and planes unknown to man”, in the apparently ancient Emerald Tablets, which I quote from in “Children of the Matrix”. For simplicity, I refer to this “between world” in my books as the lower fourth dimension.
It is from here that they police our vibrational prison – the Matrix – and seek to addict and restrict us to the dense physical senses. This world was once far less dense than it is today and the “fall” down the frequencies, caused by the manipulation of incarnate consciousness and DNA infiltration, has made it so much more difficult to maintain a multi-dimensional connection while in physical form.
We are now in a cycle of change when the vibration of this “world” will be raised out of dense physicality and return to where it once was. In doing so, the reptilians’ ability to manipulate our physical form will be removed and this is why they are in such a panic at this time to prevent this shift from opening the vibrational prison door.
The reptilians and other manipulating entities exist only just outside the frequency range of our physical senses. Their own physical form has broken down and they can no longer re-produce.
Thus they have sought to infiltrate human form and so use that to exist and control in this dimension. They chose the Earth for this infiltration because it most resembles in vibration the locations from which they originate.
These reptilians are addicted to the dense physical “world” and the sensations it offers and they have no desire to advance higher. Their aim in this period is to stop the Earth and incarnate humanity from making the shift from dense physical prison into multi-dimensional paradise.
From what I understand, this dense physical world is caught in a manufactured time “loop”, in which “time” is a circle, constantly repeating itself. Note that one of the ancient symbols for “infinity” is the snake swallowing its own tail. The pentagram or five-pointed star, so prevalent in Satanism, is also symbolic of this unbroken “time” cycle, the vibrational prison.
The period we are now experiencing has, therefore, been played out before. We are just at that point again in the repeating circle or cycle, like a rat running on one of those wheels in a cage. No matter how fast it runs, it keeps covering the same ground. What we need to do is break the “time” circle and thus the prison.
We are now in that part of the circle that is most vulnerable to this because of the vibrational changes taking place in this part of the Universe and this is why the control of humans has tightened so rapidly in this period – they are doing everything they can to defend their prison from the awakening of the inmates.
The micro-chip is crucial to that.
Genetic Corruption
These reptilians and their allies have corrupted Earth DNA with their own and this genetic infiltration lies dormant until it is activated by the vibrational fields generated by the Illuminati secret society rituals, and others in the public eye like the carefully designed coronations and official ceremonies of many kinds, including even the UK State Opening of Parliament and certainly those of the various religions.
This activation is now also being inflicted upon the general population through technology on Earth and in space, no doubt, and this channeled entity said that the cloning program is there to develop designer bodies for the reptilians of the “in between world” that would not require the overpowering of an already incarnate consciousness.]
Once activated, the DNA opens the body to possession by these reptilians and other beings, and this is what is happening, for example, to Freemasons in the rituals that most of them deliver parrot fashion while having no idea of their vibrational significance. This is why the Illuminati are so obsessed with knowing a person’s bloodline. They know which have the potential for this activation and possession and which do not.
The Mormon Church genealogical data base and now the DNA data banks are designed to identify those with the bloodline.
These are the people who are given jobs and roles that serve the Illuminati agenda, while most of them have no idea what is really going on and what they are being used for. Their DNA is then activated and they go through a change of character (a phrase I have heard so many times in relation to such people once they advance in the system) and a very different consciousness takes over their mental and emotional processes
This is why it is so important for everyone to stay well clear of ritual, no matter how innocent it may appear on the surface. I would include “New Age” ritual in this, too. I don’t mean standing in a circle, connecting together and projecting loving thoughts, etc. I mean carefully constructed ritual that is constantly repeated, as with religious ceremony for example. I am beginning to realize why I have had a life-long aversion to taking part in ritual of any kind.
Each new generation of the Illuminati bloodline families is exposed to the appropriate ritual to activate their possession by the reptilian entities and so the cycle goes on. The phrase that comes to mind is “…forgive them for they know not what they do.”
P.S.: Apparently, this DNA infiltration is known within the inner circles of the British royal family as the “family disease”. They are actually in fear of it because they know that once it is activated they will be taken over.
But of course they are caught in a world of constant ritual and ceremony designed specifically to activate their possession. It is catch 22. Without the ritual they cannot be the royal family, but with the ritual they are activated and possessed. The thought and emotional processes of the UK’s Queen Mother are not those of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the little girl officially born into that body 101 years ago.
They are controlled by the reptilian entity or entities, which possessed her after the hybrid DNA activation.
BIZARRE UFO VERSCHIJNT OP FLIGHT TRACKER ( VIDEO )
BIZARRE UFO VERSCHIJNT OP FLIGHT TRACKER ( VIDEO )
Voor mensen die graag de routes en voortgang van vliegtuigen willen volgen, is het programma Flight Tracker een bekende naam.
Wat nou als daar een object verschijnt dat 100 keer sneller gaat dan een vliegtuig en later ook nog visueel wordt waargenomen?
Op 14 mei 2016 's morgens vroeg was er iets bijzonders aan de hand in de stad Auckland in Nieuw Zeeland.
Iemand had daar op z'n Flight Tracker app gekeken naar de bewegingen van vliegtuigen en zag tot zijn stomme verbazing een object met een enorme snelheid van Nieuw Zeeland naar de kust van Australië vliegen.
Vergeleken met de normale snelheid van de vliegtuigen ging dit object zo'n 100 keer sneller.
Daar bleef het niet bij want dit vreemde object werd diezelfde ochtend ook waargenomen door de weercamera’s die staan opgesteld in Auckland.
Wat het ook was, het werd beschreven als een klassieke retro UFO qua vorm en was volgens de getuigen absoluut geen vliegtuig.
Hieronder volgen twee video’s waarin de gebeurtenissen van die morgen uitgebreid worden beschreven en getoond en daaronder staat een link naar de nieuwsuitzending zoals die op die bewuste ochtend te zien zien.

Secretary Josh Earnest Talks About Alien Disclosure In May 17, 2016, White House Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of press conference: May 17, 2016 News source:
http://www.idigitaltimes.com/ufo-news-2016-obama-white-house-responds-hillary-clintons-promise-disclose-area-51-535113 Of course this little guy (Secretary Josh Earnest) talking to the press doesn't want to risk his career by answering a question of such importance that only President Obama should answer. I'm sure he has seen Obama put his foot into the butt of those who crossed him and Josh likes his job. Obama still has time to release the UFO documents and to tell the public the truth this year. Its on his mind. That Nobel Peace Prize weighs heavily around his neck...it is encouraging him to tell the public the truth, because he knows that the pubic deserve nothing less. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: While past presidents and presidential candidates have joked about UFOs, Hillary Clinton is one of the first mainstream candidates to promise disclosure of classified Area 51, UFO and Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP) documents should she be elected president. “I want to open the files as much as we can,” Clinton said in a recent radio interview.
In the wake of a New York Times article that brought renewed attention to Clinton’s most unexpected campaign commitment, President Barack Obama’s White House was asked to respond. The answer, from President Obama’s press secretary Josh Earnest, will disappoint UFO enthusiasts still hoping for disclosure on the federal level: “I have to admit, I don’t have a tab for Area 51 in my briefing book today,” Earnest began.
After a joke from the press corp. Earnest proposed a “grand conspiracy” to keep him from answering the question thoroughly. “I’m not aware of any plans the President has to make public any information about this,” Earnest said, ending hope that UFO disclosure will come from the White House in 2016. Stephen Bassett, an extraterrestrial disclosure lobbyist, told the New York Times that a Clinton presidency may be the best opportunity yet for genuine disclosures about the government’s knowledge of UFOs.
Not only has Clinton evinced a past interest in extraterrestrials — in 1995 she was photographed carrying Are We Alone?: Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life by Paul Davies (above) — but she’ll also have the backing of campaign chairman John Podesta, who has crusaded for the release of government information on unexplained aerial phenomena for decades.
While previous presidential administrations, Obama’s included, have treated declassification of Area 51 and UAP files as a joke, a Clinton presidency might at least take the demand seriously.

Conspiracy Theorists Suggest Supervolcano Eruption Is Near As Alien Activity Increases
Conspiracy Theorists Suggest Supervolcano Eruption Is Near As Alien Activity Increases
UFO believers raised alarm after an increase in number of mysterious activities involving UFOs near the Yellowstone Supervolcano at Wyoming National Park. They predicted that a major eruption of it will soon to happen as aliens are preparing for it.
Kat Martin2016 uploaded a video to YouTube on April 28, Thursday, that seemed to show a UFO for a few minutes as it passed in front of a live cam at the Elk Refuge near Yellowstone.
According to the uploader, she noticed a mysterious light at live cams travelling over the Elk Refuge in the middle of the night. Kat Martin2016 thought that it might have been the headlights of a vehicle near the area that caused a reflection. However, she gave a hint in the description that one might think it was alien, and the reflection was a small spaceship.
Some members of the UFO community who saw the footage suggested that the light might also be an alien UFO drone performing surveillance flight over Yellowstone for the volcano’s activity.
According to them, UFOs are common on live wildlife cams, so Kat Martin2016 was wrong in her assumption that it was just a light reflection.
Some observers spotted shadows on the side of the alleged object in the latest sighting at Yellowstone National Park, so they argued it was a three-dimensional object, and not a reflection.
Another speculation about the sighting is that aliens are monitoring the Yellowstone Supervolcano because they are worried about its impending eruption.
Active volcanoes are considered UFO hotspots because, according to conspiracy theorists, aliens often build bases beneath as it is inaccessible to humans.
NASA just found even more evidence that Europa could host alien life

NASA just found even more evidence that Europa could host alien life
Let's go!!!
by FIONA MACDONALD
Scientists just found even more evidence that Europa - one of Jupiter's 67 known moons - might host alien life deep within its icy oceans. The little moon has long been labelled by NASA as "the most likely place to find life in our Solar System today", thanks to the deep, salty oceans that are strongly suspected to be hidden beneath its frozen crust.
And now a new study has shown that the chemical balance of those oceans would be very similar to the ones here on Earth, suggesting there'd be enough hydrogen and oxygen there for life to form - even without volcanic activity.
"We're studying an alien ocean using methods developed to understand the movement of energy and nutrients in Earth's own systems," said lead researcher Steve Vance, from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). "The cycling of oxygen and hydrogen in Europa's ocean will be a major driver for Europa's ocean chemistry and any life there, just as it is on Earth."
To understand how that might work, the team compared Europa's potential for producing hydrogen and oxygen to that of Earth.
For the purposes of this study, they only looked at processes that didn't involve volcanism - volcanic activity is thought of as a kickstart for the formation of life, but the team wanted to see if passive processes on the moon could do the same thing.
And, to their surprise, they calculated that they could. Published in Geophysical Research Letters, the study showed that the amounts of both hydrogen and oxygen would be comparable in scale, and on both worlds, oxygen production is about 10 times higher than hydrogen production.
On Earth, our oceans make hydrogen through something calledserpentinisation. That's where salty seawater soaks into cracks in Earth's crust and reacts with the minerals there to produce hydrogen and heat - two important ingredients for life.
The potential for this to happen on Europa was the first thing the researchers focussed on, and based on how the moon has cooled down since its formation, they calculated that it might have fractures in its rocky interior as deep as 25 kilometres (15 miles) - roughly five times deeper than the cracks here on Earth.
In other words, plenty of room for hydrogen to be formed as the ocean water percolates into those cracks.
The team then looked at the potential for oxygen to form. This could happen when the frozen water molecules on the icy surface of the oceans are split apart by cosmic radiation, and the team predicts that these elements would then be cycled back into the depths of the ocean.
So we've got the hydrogen and we've got the oxygen - the missing link now is life. "Whether or not life and biological processes complete the circuit is part of what motivates our exploration of Europa," said one of the researchers, Kevin Hand.
NASA is planning a fly-by mission to Europa in the 2020s, and until we actually send a probe there to scan what's going on under the ice, we can't say for sure whether or not the moon could be suitable for life - or even whether the suspected oceans exist.
There's also a lot more involved in the formation of life than just those two elements - the team now wants to model the cycling of other important elements on Europa, such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulphur.
Either way, this latest research just adds weight to the argument that we need to get out there sooner rather than later to test the waters - literally and figuratively - for ourselves.
“Mogelijke ontdekking oude Mayastad door Canadese tiener is indrukwekkend, sceptici zijn jaloers”
“Mogelijke ontdekking oude Mayastad door Canadese tiener is indrukwekkend, sceptici zijn jaloers”
Op 9 mei kreeg de wereld te horen dat een Canadese tiener een Mayastad had ontdekt op basis van de theorie dat de Maya’s hun steden bouwden aan de hand van sterrenbeelden.
William Gadoury, amper 15 jaar oud, had gezien dat sommige reeds ontdekte Mayasteden bijzonder ver van een rivier waren gebouwd, in moeilijk toegankelijke bergen, of op vruchtbare grond. Niet logisch, vond hij. Daar moest een verklaring voor zijn.
Hij analyseerde 22 sterrenbeelden van de Maya’s. Toen hij alle sterren met elkaar verbond op een kaart, zag hij dat de contouren overeenkwamen met liefst 117 Mayasteden. Iets wat geen enkele wetenschapper voordien bedacht had.
Hersenspinsels van creatieve geesten
Toen hij het 23e sterrenbeeld bestudeerde, werd het nog interessanter. Hij verbond de sterren met elkaar, maar merkte dat er een stad ontbrak. Met satellietfoto’s van de NASA slaagde hij er vervolgens in de ontbrekende stad te ontwaren in de zone van het sterrenbeeld. Wetenschappers waren diep onder de indruk.
Voorlopig is nog niemand de jungle ingegaan om de stad in werkelijkheid te gaan bekijken. William heeft zijn werk overhandigd aan twee Mexicaanse archeologen, maar die zijn nog niet afgereisd naar de plek waar de onontdekte Mayastad zou moeten staan.
Na de ontdekking kwamen verschillende wetenschappers aan het woord in de media die zeiden dat het nieuws op een misvatting berust. De Amerikaanse astronoom Anthony Aveni stelt dat het leggen van een verband tussen moderne sterrenkaarten en een groot aantal door de mens gerealiseerde bouwwerken niets meer is dan hersenspinsels van creatieve geesten.
Puur per toeval
“De geografische locaties van bouwwerken op aarde bepalen middels sterrenkaarten is een typisch modern westers concept,” aldus Aveni, toevoegende dat de kosmos zeker een rol speelde in de locatiekeuze van bepaalde bouwwerken, maar niet met de nauwkeurigheid zoals Gadoury nu claimt.
Aveni durft alleen niet hardop te zeggen dat de tiener fout zit. De astronoom prijst het initiatief van de tiener en zei te hopen dat hij subsidie krijgt om zijn werk verder te ontwikkelen.
William Gadoury op bezoek bij de Canadese ruimtevaartorganisatie in 2014 (Facebook)
Ook Francisco Estrada-Belli van de National Geographic Society, die gespecialiseerd is in Maya-archeologie, zei dat er op basis van de huidige satellietbeelden nog geen uitsluitsel is te geven. Hij voegde toe geen piramides te kunnen ontwaren.
De specialist sluit ook niet uit dat Gadoury de stad puur per toeval vond. “Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat er nog honderden Mayasteden ontdekt moeten worden,” zei hij. “Ze bevinden zich overal. Als je je vinger op een willekeurige plek op de kaart van het gebied legt, is de kans aanzienlijk dat zich in de buurt een stad bevindt.”
Jaloers
Hoe dan ook is duidelijk geworden dat de positie van de overige 117 Mayasteden precies overeenkomt met de vorm van de sterrenbeelden van de Maya’s, schrijft Alejandro Azcárate voor de Yucatan Times. De experts die de jonge Canadees in diskrediet brengen zijn volgens hem vooral jaloers en komen niet met wetenschappelijke argumenten.
( opmerking Peter2011 :Het is altijd hetzelfde liedje dat die sceptici spelen... De sceptici moeten hun naam van "twijfelaar" (= betekenis scepticus) immers eer aan doen! Ze kunnen enkel maar afbreken en leveren zelden positieve, opbouwende kritieken. Maarja, zoals het spreekwoord zegt : de beste stuurlui staan aan wal... Je vindt ze terug bij elk onderwerp en ik heb geleerd om het meteen te negeren. Volg steeds jou eigen oordeel, want zij weten ook niet alles!!!)
While searching for the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) UFO files, a researcher using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), recently received the FAA’s procedures for taking UFO reports.
John Greenewald runs TheBlackVault.com, a website where he posts the millions of pages of government files he has received via FOIA requests. He began seeking these files when he was still a high school student in 1996.
John Greenewald speaking at the International UFO Congress. (Credit: OpenMinds.tv)
In April, Greenewald sent a FOIA request asking for their UFO files.
Specifically, Greenewald wrote: “I respectfully request a copy of records, electronic or otherwise, of ALL FAA manuals, regulations and publications – that deal with, or mention, Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and/or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and/or Unexplained Phenomena, and/or any other derivative that may be used the your agency. This would include, but not be limited to, all manuals, publications and/or instructions that pertain to pilots (commercial or otherwise), Air Traffic Controllers, or employees of the FAA.”
The first page provided comes from the “Safety, Accident, and Hazard Reports” section of the manual. Section 7-6-4, deals with reporting UFOs.

It states:
a. Persons wanting to report UFO/unexplained phenomena activity should contact a UFO/unexplained phenomena reporting data collection center, such as the National UFO Reporting Center, etc.
b. If concern is expressed that life or property might be endangered, report the activity to the local law enforcement department.
Another page of the manual is also included. Section 8 of the manual appears to be dedicated to UFO reports. However, it just repeats the same verbiage found in 7-6-4.
AIM Section 8 on UFO reporting. (Credit: FAA)
Incidentally, a “Section 8” is also the term for a military discharge due to being deemed mentally unfit for service. I was once told by a man claiming to have worked for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) at Cheyenne Mountain while in the Air Force, they also called UFOs caught on radar a “Section 8s.”
Either way, these few pages from the AIM document are all Greenewald was sent.
In the past, the FAA also has referred people Bigelow Aerospace to report UFO sightings (including myself), and the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP). The prior, Bigelow Aerospace, has since been preoccupied with an inflatable space module that is now being tested on the International Space Station. So it is no surprise they are not listed anymore. However, the later, NARCAP, still focuses on pilot reports.
The UFO reporting organization mentioned, the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), is a one man show ran out of Davenport, Washington. NUFORC was founded in 1974, and is currently ran by Peter Davenport, who took over in 1994.
There are many stories of the FAA receiving UFO reports, so it is a little strange that these few pages are all that Greenewald received. I asked Greenewald if he was disappointed.
“It is a little disappointing, but not necessarily a surprise,” Greenewald responded. “Just because the term ‘UFO’ does not appear in a manual or regulation, that doesn’t necessarily mean that a pilot or FAA official has not reported anything of substance. I don’t take the outcome of this FOIA request as the final answer, and I am still pursuing other avenues to see if that agency has any other documents that we should know about.”

Greenewald, an experienced, and persistent, FOIA user, plans to pursue other avenues to attempt to ferret out more UFO secrets from the FAA.
“I think it is very likely that there are other records to be found, but what is very difficult about the Freedom of Information Act, and the FAA specifically, is that there are quite a few regional offices and locations that the documents could exist at,” Greenewald explained. “It is not uncommon for an agency that large, with so many places to look, to make it very difficult to find records. You essentially have to file a request to each and every regional location or branch. That does not mean I haven’t, or won’t, just saying that it does make it that much more difficult.”
Greenewald points out that although the FAA seems to have no interest in UFOs, they probably should.
“It’s concerning that the FAA is not interested in a ‘UFO’ report. Why wouldn’t they be? In this day and age we live in, I would think that something unidentified in the sky would, and should, be of great interest.”
Especially, if pilots are reporting UFOs over one of the busiest airports in the United States, like in one of the most famous, and credible, UFO sightings related to commercial air travel. Watch the videos below for more on that.
Texas witness recalls triangle UFO near Air Force Base
Texas witness recalls triangle UFO near Air Force Base
A Texas witness at White Settlement recalled a UFO encounter from 1965 near Carswell Air Force Base, according to testimony in Case 75096 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside lying on a blanket “less than two miles west of the centerline of what was then Carswell AFB” on July 7, 1965.

“I noticed an object approaching from the south just above the treetops,” the witness stated.“The object was triangular in shape and that shape was defined by the three lights…one located at each angle of the triangle.”
Three things caught the witnesses’ attention.
“The lights were in no configuration of any of the conventional aircraft I was accustomed to seeing fly into and out of the AFB. The object made no noise at all. Its size was enormous.”
The witness noticed that the flight path was going to take the object directly overhead.
“It was moving slowly, much more slowly than any conventional aircraft could fly if on final approach for a landing at the AFB. I estimate it could have been traveling no more than 30 mph. As it approached I was trying to see details. I could discern nothing beyond the general shape confirmed by the stars that were masked behind the object’s triangular shape and the unusual pattern the lights were flashing.”
The object moved overhead and made no sound. Pictured: White Settlement, TX. (Credit: Google)
The witness described the lights.
“Each light was round and each of the three flashed one of three colors…red, blue or white. The lights weren’t brilliant, but somewhat diffuse as if they were contained in some kind of domed housing with a frosted lens similar to an incandescent light bulb one would use in their house. The lights flashed randomly with the only actual pattern being that no two lights were ever the same color and there was no discernible sequence to the colors the lights flashed. When I use the word flash, it was not an instantaneous change, but a short term fade from one color to another. I had never seen lighting change color or flash on conventional aircraft in a similar manner.”
The witness had seen strange lights in the sky previously.
“I had seen strange lights and ‘green flashes’ in and around the AFB all my life, but this phenomenon was completely different from anything I had seen before. I was excited while I waited for the object to pass directly overhead.”
The object finally moved directly overhead.
“It passed slowly over my head with the complete passage of the craft from the forward ‘point’ (the object never wavered or rotated,but kept the same angle of its shape pointed due north as near as I could tell without consulting a compass) to the base taking about two seconds.”
The witness wondered about the object’s altitude.
“I tried to get a feeling for its altitude, but there was no helpful frame of reference except the treetops. I mentally established 500 feet, but that was arbitrary. There was absolutely no noise. Even the night insects and creatures that I’d heard prior to the passage of the object made no sounds. There was no feeling of static electricity or electromagnetic interference present when the object flew over me or at any other time.”
The object was estimated at 500 feet overhead. Pictured: White Settlement, TX. (Credit: Google)
The witness was not alone.
“Even though I was with others during the encounter, I did not alert anyone else on the off chance they might interfere with my complete attention while observing the object. I also didn’t mention the observation to anyone else that night. Having read the reports of previous year’s sightings I thought I would wait until I saw the papers the next day to see if anyone else reported any unusual sightings. The next day sightings were reported throughout the southwest. I never wrote anything down until now and only wanted to insure MUFON had this information to use in its work. Thank you for permitting me to finally report my observations.”
Texas Field Investigator Tom Morgan is investigating. White Settlement is a city in Tarrant County, Texas, population 16,116. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

This is a great report by SecurityTeam10 of Youtube. This UFO may not be alien at all. This could be a secret project that is headed byBigelow Aerospace. Thats an area of the govt that is paid to make things like the TR3B, the Aurora Project, the Needles California blue UFO that crashed that was recovered by Janet planes and scientists...you know where I going with this. Its ours...probably. Email or Tweet to Bigelow Aerospace and ask. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Stash of Nuclear Weapons Links To British UFO Encounter
Stash of Nuclear Weapons Links To British UFO Encounter
A former police officer has come forward saying that aliens in the famous British UFO encounter were curious to know the secret stash of nuclear weapons.
Gary Heseltine has made the revelations after officers claimed to have spotted a UFO at RAF Bentwaters travelling around 120 miles in eight seconds.
The astonishing information came from a former cop, who believes he can shed new light on Britain’s infamous UFO case.
Gary Heseltine, 56, claimed a UFO activity took place at RAF Bentwaters as space aliens were interested at the American airbase because of a secret stash of nuclear weapons in there.
The strange event, which eventually known as the British Roswell, has sparked several books and documentaries after it had made the front page of the now-defunct News of the World.
Gary, who worked for nearly 24 years in the British Transport Police, claimed deputy base commander Colonel Charles Halt told him the airbase in Suffolk had the biggest arsenal of Europe’s nuclear weapons.
In late December 1980, UFOs allegedly visited Rendlesham Forest and the USAF base nearby.
Staff Sergeant Jim Penniston said he touched a small triangular craft and described it as smooth to touch with Egyptian hieroglyphs-like symbol before it went away.
Col Halt formed a small team of experts and went into the woods when the unidentified flying object came back two nights later. He then created a 20-minute tape recording describing the thing as like a red winking eye.
Halt also filed a memo stating the details of the incident to the British Ministry of Defence, which was released years later under the Freedom of Information Act.
The UFO reportedly fired beams of light into the weapons storage area, a military term to refer nuclear bunkers.
Retired detective Gary claimed Col Halt told him that RAF Bentwaters had the largest weapons storage area in the entire Europe.
If "the truth is out there," as they say on "The X-Files" TV show, Hillary Clinton says she's eager to expose it.
No, she's not talking about her controversial email server, although an FBI investigation is looking into that too.
She's talking about UFOs or, as she corrected Jimmy Kimmel when he recently asked her on his late-night TV show about possible visitors from other planets, "unexplained aerial phenomena" — or UAP.
"That's the latest nomenclature," she said, scoring points, no doubt, with UFO — or UAP — enthusiasts.
Barring any threats to national security, the former secretary of state said, she would open up government files on little green visitors or whoever else may have paid us a visit from other planets.
It would be easier, I suppose, than opening up the texts to her high-priced speeches to Goldman Sachs, as requested by her Democratic rival for the presidency, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
She also has been more excited about UFOs — or UAPs — than President Barack Obama, who tends to treat the subject as a rich source of amusement.
That's just how Josh Earnest, White House press secretary, treated the subject in a recent media briefing. Citing a New York Times story about Clinton's vow to "get to the bottom" of the "UFO and the Area 51 conspiracy," CBS News correspondent Mark Knoller asked whether the president would "beat her to the punch" by showing some transparency on this issue "which is of concern to a lot of Americans."
Area 51, in case you also just arrived from Mars (welcome, by the way, and please don't eat us), is a remote, supersecret section of an Air Force base in Nevada rumored to be the resting place of captured flying saucers, alien corpses and other wonders depicted in sci-fi movies such as "Independence Day" (1996) or "Paul" (2011).
"I have to admit," Earnest said earnestly, "I don't have a tab in my briefing book for Area 51."
"Because it has been taken out?" one reporter asked.
"Maybe it has," said Earnest with a smile. "Part of a grand conspiracy."
Conspiracy theorists will have to wait. Earnest said he was "not aware of any plans the president has to make public any information about" extraterrestrial life forms.
But Obama has noted cheerfully that access to the so-called UFO files was one of the more attractive perks of the presidency. When Kimmel asked Obama about former President Bill Clinton's claims to have found nothing of note in the UFO files, Obama responded with a grin and said, "That's what we're instructed to say."
Polls give a hint as to why this president and those who would like to have his job are reluctant to be skunks at the picnic of UFO conspiracy theorists. A survey commissioned by the National Geographic Channel in 2012, for example, found 80 million Americans — or slightly more than a third of the nation's adult population — who said they believed UFOs are real.
More than a third of those who were surveyed said they believed aliens have visited Earth and almost half were not sure. Only 17 percent said they did not believe so.
And asked whether they had made up their minds about the question, 77 percent thought there were signs that suggest aliens have visited Earth.
That's a large enough group to be worth wooing by presidential candidates — even if, as Kimmel pointed out to the former first lady, Bill Clinton says he already checked the UFO files and found nothing there.
"Well," she responded defiantly, "I'm gonna do it again."
Again? Maybe she thinks her husband has been keeping secrets from her. I suppose it wouldn't be the first time.
Yet as much as I favor full government transparency whenever it is possible, I don't think that opening the government's legendary UFO files will make much of a difference in this cynical age.
If secret flying saucers and alien corpses do not really exist at Area 51, I believe it still would be necessary for humanity to invent them. The prospect of being alone in this universe is too gloomy for many of us to bear.
As we have seen with various other conspiracy theories, people will believe what they want to believe, especially when the truth is far enough "out there."

NASA's Hubble Shows Milky Way is Destined for Head-On Collision
NASA's Hubble Shows Milky Way is Destined for Head-On Collision
NASA astronomers announced Thursday they can now predict with certainty the next major cosmic event to affect our galaxy, sun, and solar system: the titanic collision of our Milky Way galaxy with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy.
The Milky Way is destined to get a major makeover during the encounter, which is predicted to happen four billion years from now. It is likely the sun will be flung into a new region of our galaxy, but our Earth and solar system are in no danger of being destroyed.
This illustration shows a stage in the predicted merger between our Milky Way galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, as it will unfold over the next several billion years. In this image, representing Earth's night sky in 3.75 billion years, Andromeda (left) fills the field of view and begins to distort the Milky Way with tidal pull. (Credit: NASA; ESA; Z. Levay and R. van der Marel, STScI; T. Hallas; and A. Mellinger) › Larger image
"Our findings are statistically consistent with a head-on collision between the Andromeda galaxy and our Milky Way galaxy," said Roeland van der Marel of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore.
The solution came through painstaking NASA Hubble Space Telescope measurements of the motion of Andromeda, which also is known as M31. The galaxy is now 2.5 million light-years away, but it is inexorably falling toward the Milky Way under the mutual pull of gravity between the two galaxies and the invisible dark matter that surrounds them both.
Andromeda Galaxy - Milky Way Collision Visualized!
This animation depicts the collision between our Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy. Hubble Space Telescope observations indicate that the two galaxies, pulled together by their mutual gravity, will crash together about 4 billion years from now. Around 6 billion years from now, the two galaxies will merge to form a single galaxy. The video also shows the Triangulum galaxy, which will join in the collision and perhaps later merge with the Andromeda/Milky Way pair. (Visualization Credit: NASA; ESA; and F. Summers, STScI | Simulation Credit: NASA; ESA; G. Besla, Columbia University; and R. van der Marel, STScI)
"After nearly a century of speculation about the future destiny of Andromeda and our Milky Way, we at last have a clear picture of how events will unfold over the coming billions of years," said Sangmo Tony Sohn of STScI.
The scenario is like a baseball batter watching an oncoming fastball. Although Andromeda is approaching us more than 2,000 times faster, it will take 4 billion years before the strike.
Computer simulations derived from Hubble's data show that it will take an additional two billion years after the encounter for the interacting galaxies to completely merge under the tug of gravity and reshape into a single elliptical galaxy similar to the kind commonly seen in the local universe.
Although the galaxies will plow into each other, stars inside each galaxy are so far apart that they will not collide with other stars during the encounter. However, the stars will be thrown into different orbits around the new galactic center. Simulations show that our solar system will probably be tossed much farther from the galactic core than it is today.
To make matters more complicated, M31's small companion, the Triangulum galaxy, M33, will join in the collision and perhaps later merge with the M31/Milky Way pair. There is a small chance that M33 will hit the Milky Way first.
This illustration shows the collision paths of our Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy. The galaxies are moving toward each other under the inexorable pull of gravity between them. Also shown is a smaller galaxy, Triangulum, which may be part of the smashup. (Credit: NASA; ESA; A. Feild and R. van der Marel, STScI) › Larger image
The universe is expanding and accelerating, and collisions between galaxies in close proximity to each other still happen because they are bound by the gravity of the dark matter surrounding them. The Hubble Space Telescope's deep views of the universe show such encounters between galaxies were more common in the past when the universe was smaller.
A century ago astronomers did not realize that M31 was a separate galaxy far beyond the stars of the Milky Way. Edwin Hubble measured its vast distance by uncovering a variable star that served as a "milepost marker."
Hubble went on to discover the expanding universe where galaxies are rushing away from us, but it has long been known that M31 is moving toward the Milky Way at about 250,000 miles per hour. That is fast enough to travel from here to the moon in one hour. The measurement was made using the Doppler effect, which is a change in frequency and wavelength of waves produced by a moving source relative to an observer, to measure how starlight in the galaxy has been compressed by Andromeda's motion toward us.
Previously, it was unknown whether the far-future encounter will be a miss, glancing blow, or head-on smashup. This depends on M31’s tangential motion. Until now, astronomers had not been able to measure M31's sideways motion in the sky, despite attempts dating back more than a century. The Hubble Space Telescope team, led by van der Marel, conducted extraordinarily precise observations of the sideways motion of M31 that remove any doubt that it is destined to collide and merge with the Milky Way.
"This was accomplished by repeatedly observing select regions of the galaxy over a five- to seven-year period," said Jay Anderson of STScI.
"In the worst-case-scenario simulation, M31 slams into the Milky Way head-on and the stars are all scattered into different orbits," said Gurtina Besla of Columbia University in New York, N.Y. "The stellar populations of both galaxies are jostled, and the Milky Way loses its flattened pancake shape with most of the stars on nearly circular orbits. The galaxies' cores merge, and the stars settle into randomized orbits to create an elliptical-shaped galaxy."

8.8 billion habitable Earth-size planets exist in Milky Way alone
8.8 billion habitable Earth-size planets exist in Milky Way alone
bySETH BORENSTEIN
This artist's rendition provided by NASA shows Kepler-69c, a super-Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of a star like our sun, located about 2,700 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. Astronomers using NASA data calculate that in our galaxy alone there are at least 8.8 billion Earth-sized planets that are not too hot or not too cold and circle stars that are just like our sun, according to a study published Monday.
WASHINGTON — Space is vast, but it may not be so lonely after all: A study finds the Milky Way is teeming with billions of planets that are about the size of Earth, orbit stars just like our sun, and exist in the Goldilocks zone — not too hot and not too cold for life.
Astronomers using NASA data have calculated for the first time that in our galaxy alone, there are at least 8.8 billion stars with Earth-size planets in the habitable temperature zone.
The study was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
For perspective, that's more Earth-like planets than there are people on Earth.
As for what it says about the odds that there is life somewhere out there, it means "just in our Milky Way galaxy alone, that's 8.8 billion throws of the biological dice," said study co-author Geoff Marcy, a longtime planet hunter from the University of California at Berkeley.
The next step, scientists say, is to look for atmospheres on these planets with powerful space telescopes that have yet to be launched. That would yield further clues to whether any of these planets do, in fact, harbor life.
The findings also raise a blaring question, Marcy said: If we aren't alone, why is "there a deafening silence in our Milky Way galaxy from advanced civilizations?"
In the Milky Way, about 1 in 5 stars that are like our sun in size, color and age have planets that are roughly Earth's size and are in the habitable zone where life-crucial water can be liquid, according to intricate calculations based on four years of observations from NASA's now-crippled Kepler telescope.

Levay and R. van der Marel, STScI; T. Hallas; and A. Mellinger)
If people on Earth could only travel in deep space, "you'd probably see a lot of traffic jams," Bill Borucki, NASA's chief Kepler scientist, joked Monday.
The Kepler telescope peered at 42,000 stars, examining just a tiny slice of our galaxy to see how many planets like Earth are out there. Scientists then extrapolated that figure to the rest of the galaxy, which has hundreds of billions of stars.
For the first time, scientists calculated — not estimated — what percent of stars that are just like our sun have planets similar to Earth: 22 percent, with a margin of error of plus or minus 8 percentage points.
Kepler scientist Natalie Batalha said there is still more data to pore over before this can be considered a final figure.
There are about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, with 40 billion of them like our sun, Marcy said. One of his co-authors put the number of sun-like stars closer to 50 billion, meaning there would be at least 11 billion planets like ours.
Based on the 1-in-5 estimate, the closest Earth-size planet that is in the habitable temperature zone and circles a sun-like star is probably within 70 trillion miles of Earth, Marcy said.
And the 8.8 billion Earth-size planets figure is only a start. That's because scientists were looking only at sun-like stars, which are not the most common stars.
An earlier study found that 15 percent of the more common red dwarf stars have Earth-size planets that are close-in enough to be in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold Goldilocks Zone.
Put those together and that's probably 40 billion right-size, right-place planets, Marcy said.
And that's just our galaxy. There are billions of other galaxies.
Scientists at a Kepler science conference Monday said they have found 833 new candidate planets with the space telescope, bringing the total of planets they've spotted to 3,538, but most aren't candidates for life.
Kepler has identified only 10 planets that are about Earth's size circling sun-like stars and are in the habitable zone, including one called Kepler 69-c.
Because there are probably hundreds of planets missed for every one found, the study did intricate extrapolations to come up with the 22 percent figure — a calculation that outside scientists say is fair.
"Everything they've done looks legitimate," said MIT astronomer Sara Seager.
SMOKING GUN EVIDENCE FOR THE RENDLESHAM FOREST CLOSE ENCOUNTER
SMOKING GUN EVIDENCE FOR THE RENDLESHAM FOREST CLOSE ENCOUNTER
SMOKING GUN EVIDENCE FOR THE RENDLESHAM FOREST CLOSE ENCOUNTER
DECEMBER 1980 …….RENDLESHAM FOREST UNITED KINGDOM
It has long been held to be one of the most famous UFO incidents of the 20th century, if not of all time. Due to its popularity, a variety of opinions and interpretations about what happened in Rendlesham Forest in late December, 1980, have been offered; and the result has been a seemingly never-ending source for controversy within the UFO research community. Despite the varied opinions, which draw from various testimonies given by those who claim to have been directly involved, the latest evidence forthcoming may suggest that corroborative data about the incident was obtained via radar operators at nearby RAF Bentwaters, near Suffolk, England. (For more information on the details involving the well-known Rendlesham UFO incident, As reported in the UK’s Express, “The new claims… appear to back up those made by Mr Holt last July when he appeared at a Rendlesham UFO conference, in Woodbridge, Suffolk, to mark the 35th anniversary of the sighting last July.” Halt had previously told the BBC that “he saw unidentified objects at Rendlesham Forest in December 1980,” and subsequently claimed that he had obtained “statements from radar operators at RAF Bentwaters and nearby Wattisham airfield that an unknown object was tracked at the time.” The evidence is presented in a new documentary film by veteran UFO researcher Robert Hastings, whose previous work has involved reports of UFO sightings related to nuclear facilities around the world. Hastings managed to locate the radar operators that claimed to have observed an object on their radars which coincided with the testimony given by Charles Halt and others on the ground, who observed an unusual aircraft in Rendlesham Forest.
According to Jim Carey, one of the two operators in question:
“I was just sitting there and I happened to see a dot come on the scope, and it just went one dot in the beginning, and another dot, another dot, and it was gone. All of a sudden, here it come back across again. It went one, two and then an immediate right hand turn and came right towards the base. I just said that can’t be one of ours. No jet at that speed can make an immediate right hand turn. Just absolutely phenomenal.”
Ike Barker, another radar operator who says he tracked the object, supplied the following similar information:
“When the sweep would hit the target, you would have the entire back of it would be like a solid line. Traveling at an extremely high rate of speed, it passed over the control tower and then it stopped. I’ve never seen anything in my life like the maneuverability that happened with this object…. There were lights around the center of it, but it wasn’t like running lights or navigational lights. It was more like portholes, and you were seeing the light from the inside coming out. It wasn’t flashing lights or anything. It hovered momentarily, reversed its course, and went back out at a high rate of speed.”
The testimony Barker provides seems to describe something akin to a sphere (at one point, he even remarked that the thought had crossed his mind someone “was flying a basketball” in the area). The object described by Halt and the others had been triangular; however, Halt has also suggested that he believed there may be evidence the triangle he and the others observed could have been a drone or some other variety of “scout” aircraft, associated with a larger “mothership” located elsewhere. Will the new testimony collected by Robert Hastings and those associated with the initial Rendlesham Forest incident indeed shed new light on the case, or will it only present evidence which calls for further questions? Perhaps at very least, the ongoing evidence pertaining to this case will help lend to the veracity of those who say they observed unusual aerial phenomenon in the vicinity of Suffolk, England, in December of 1980.

MYSTERIOUS TRIANGLES NEAR FORT DRUM NEW-YORK
MYSTERIOUS TRIANGLES NEAR FORT DRUM NEW-YORK
MYSTERIOUS TRIANGLES NEAR FORT DRUM IN NEW YORK
MAY 9, 2016 - ADAMS NEW YORK
Boyfriend was driving south on Rt. 11 from Watertown to Adams. At about 11:45ish we saw lights on the road up ahead and the picture just didn’t make sense to us. At first it looked to me like maybe a fire truck up ahead or something but the closer we got the less sense the image we were seeing made. We continued in their direction, and came up on them fast, within seconds. They were in fact closer to us than I thought, maybe a quarter mile from where we first noticed the lights. We had to slow down fast or we would have driven right underneath and past them. Boyfriend came to a stop so these things were drifting across the road right in front of us. We were driving south on Rt. 11 so they were drifting across the road in a south/west direction, and right over the road in front of us they turned around and drifted back the direction they had been coming from; north/east. Because they turned around in front of us we got to see just about every angle of these things except the top, so it was not an optical illusion and we could tell how close they were to each other and to us. We saw them up close, clearly, and in 3D. It was dark, but there were street lights and our headlights and they had blinking lights, red and white only, the whole time we saw them. I had turned off the heat and radio as we came upon them, and I immediately stuck my head right out the window for the best angle, and two things struck me right away. First; the silence. They made no noise that I could detect above the noise of our vehicle, which is not loud. Second; their proximity to each other. They were so close together I would think they would be bumping into each other. When they turned around I thought we were going to witness a crash, they were only a few feet from each other. And they never split up when they were in our sights, but they moved independently, not like they were attached. The craft were about the size of limousines, lazily floating over the road not far above the telephone polls.
They were both triangular, but they were not the same. One was a wider triangle, like you might picture a military drone or something, but the other one was a skinny pointy triangle. Both had, I believe, red blinking lights in the front corner on the bottom, and white blinking lights on the side corners on the bottom. Besides being triangular in shape and the lights, they were completely featureless, at least from the bottom and sides. Just perfect triangles, no other angles or patterns at all. Just black. Like even any drones I look up that belong to any military or even anything out of popular science, nothing I’ve seen is a perfect triangle like that, they all have some other angles, discernable wings, engines, something.
They were both like that, exactly the same except for the shape of the triangle. We were so close that if there was any other detail to notice in their shape, we would have seen it. We should have been able to see detail but it was just their outlines, the lights, and flat matte black. There were stars out and they blocked their light, blocked the lighter color of the horizon behind them. There was no light reflecting off them, and there should have been. There were all these lights like I said, and not one glimmer of a reflection off any part of them. And the lights that came off them were bright but not blinding; there was no glare, even so close. And my eyes have a problem with glare and bright lights. But not these. After they turned around and we just gawked for what seemed like minutes but must have been seconds, a spotlight shown coming from the side of I THINK the skinny one, right off the tip of the wing or side corner of the triangle. It shown in our direction but I think it shown over us not right on us… and then they were drifting over the trees back in the direction they seemed to have come from. I told Boyfriend to hurry up and chase them and not to lose them. I kept my eyes on them and could see the lights through the trees, directed Boyfriend where to go, but I lost them through the trees. I could see them and then they were just nowhere. Boyfriend took a route that should have cut them off if they had continued their speed and direction, and we drove around with my head out the moon roof searching and finding hilltops to search the horizons, but nothing, they were gone. Then we drove around looking for a cop car but wouldn’t you know it when you actually need one they are nowhere to be found. We finally gave up and went home and I think it was close to 1am. I was determined to alert authorities. I knew they wouldn’t exactly believe us, or do anything about it, but I just wanted it on record, wanted someone to know that happened, and I’m just so curious, and I was hoping that we wouldn’t be the only ones! I figured they would get more calls, more reports. I thought with them being right above the ground and apparently in no hurry, someone else around must have noticed something. Its a rural area but right smack in between Adams and Adams Center. I called the Jefferson County police but the state troopers showed up first. The troopers said they would check around with Fort Drum and stuff and were nice but obviously didn’t take it very seriously, which is the best I really expected… I’m just hoping something else turns up… I want some more news… Even if it isn’t extra terrestrial drones or something, it still had to be some sort of secret technology or something that not many people have witnessed, and that’s still amazing to me. Going about normal everyday life feels so weird now… like I’m the only one freaking out inside about this… I’m thankful for the experience but I hope someone else out there experiences it too. I’m so glad Boyfriend was there to witness it too, but I just can’t stop thinking about it and I think he just wants to forget it. I can’t and don’t want to. I want to know more.
De planeet Mars staat deze weken dicht bij de aarde. De afstand is op 30 mei het kleinst: bijna 76 miljoen kilometer. Daardoor is Mars goed te zien. Bij zonsondergang staat de planeet in het zuidoosten als een felgele stip aan de hemel. Tot half juni blijft hij zo dichtbij.
De laatste keer dat Mars zo dichtbij kwam, was in augustus 2003. Toen was de afstand zelfs nog kleiner: minder dan 56 miljoen kilometer, de kleinste afstand in duizenden jaren.
STERRENKUNDEEen ster die stilaan de geest geeft, verwoest alles in zijn nabijheid. Maar voor planeten die zich veel verder bevinden, kan dat net een heel ander proces in gang zetten, suggereert nieuw onderzoek van het Carl Sagan Institute. Want waar ooit enkel ijs regeerde, zou door de temperatuurstijging plots leven mogelijk zijn.
Een hetere zon zou op manen als Enceladus en Europa het perfecte klimaat kunnen creëren voor nieuwe levensvormen
Sterren, zoals ook onze zon, hebben geen eeuwig leven. Wanneer ze zonder energie komen te zitten, zakt de kern langzaam in, waardoor de temperatuur stijgt. Daardoor zet de rest van de ster uit om een 'reus' te creëren. Daarbij slokt de uitdijende ster nabijliggende planeten op. Toch is dat geen slecht nieuws voor verdergelegen planeten. Want sommigen van hen - momenteel ijskoude, diepgevroren werelden - krijgen plots de ideale voorwaarden en temperatuur om leven op gang te brengen.
Kan dat wat concreter? Wel, in het geval van onze zon zal dat proces binnen zowat 7,5 miljard jaar van start gaan. De zon zal 200 keer groter worden en van Mercurius en Venus zal geen sprake meer zijn. Onze aarde houdt het nog uit, maar is dan compleet onleefbaar geworden. Veel verder weg, rond Saturnus en Jupiter, cirkelen manen als Enceladus en Europa die veel ijs bevatten. Een hetere zon zou daar op dat moment het perfecte klimaat kunnen creëren voor nieuwe levensvormen.
Of we dat niet al eerder hadden kunnen bedenken? Tuurlijk, maar dat bleef tot dusver theoretisch. Het was nog de vraag of die 'leefbare' tijdspanne in de praktijk groot genoeg zou zijn. Een planeet moet namelijk miljarden jaren in het zogenaamde 'Goudlokjegebied' - warm genoeg om vloeibaar water te hebben, maar niet zo heet dat water verdampt - gedijen om ook echt het lange proces van het ontstaan van leven mogelijk te maken.
Blijkt nu van wel, zo berekenden onderzoekers van het Carl Sagan Institute: de planeten rond de grootste stervende sterren - rode reuzen genoemd - zouden zich tot 200 miljoen jaar in een leefbare zone kunnen bevinden. Maar voor kleinere rode reuzen, die minder snel en heet opbranden, kan die periode voor planeten in dat Goudlokjegebied gerokken worden tot 9 miljard jaar. Dat is ongeveer twee keer de leeftijd van onze eigen aarde. Lees: lang genoeg om een levensvorm te doen ontstaan en evolueren op zo'n ijzige planeet.
In ons zonnestelsel hebben verre ijzige werelden ongeveer een half miljard jaar de tijd om te evolueren tot leefbare planeten. Onze aarde zal tegen dan een bloedheet niemandsland zijn geworden.
Op zoek naar leefbare planeten
De onderzoekers hebben nu ook een lijst van 23 rode reuzen opgesteld die minder dan 100 lichtjaren van de aarde verwijderd zijn. Die zijn volgens hen de ideale doelwitten om op zoek te gaan naar leefbare planeten.
Belangrijk detail wel: de aanwezigheid van een planeet in het Goudlokjegebied rond een ster wil niet zeggen dat er zeker en vast leven zal zijn (kijk maar naar Mars). Dat is onder meer ook afhankelijk van de juiste atmosfeer.
De wetenschappers geven verder toe dat ze nog helemaal niet kunnen inschatten wat een rode reus precies doet met de atmosfeer van nabije planeten. Als die die atmosfeer vernietigt, blijft er van dit onderzoek niet veel meer over. Ook de gevolgen voor de baan van de planeet moet mee in rekening genomen worden. Want als een ster een rode reus wordt, vermindert zijn aantrekkingskracht op de planeten eromheen.
'Als je toch wilt gaan planeethoppen, moet je wel weten wanneer je precies op welke plek moet zijn'
Co-auteur Lisa Kaltnenegger
Planeethoppen
Maar het is veelbelovend onderzoek, zo zegt co-auteur Lisa Kaltnenegger aanSpace.com. "Het is de eerste keer dat we het model van een ster aan het model van een planeet linken en bekijken wat er gebeurt. Mensen blijven maar zeggen: 'Wanneer onze zon een grote, hete ster wordt, moeten we naar Mars of elders verhuizen'. Maar als je toch wilt gaan planeethoppen, moet je wel weten wanneer je precies op welke plek moet zijn. Dat hebben we nu voor het eerst uitgevogeld."

UFO Discovered In Medieval Wall Painting: Is This A Depiction of Alien Existence?
UFO Discovered In Medieval Wall Painting: Is This A Depiction of Alien Existence?
UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. While it refers to any object hovering in the sky, people cannot easily identify it. It traditionally refers to alien vessel. Throughout history, UFOs have been reported to meteor sightings and comet. Many teams have set out to find conclusive evidence of alien life since all human sightings are highly controversial. According to the experts, there was not enough data to determine its origin. For every sighting, scientists have provided numerous explanations. Astronomical objects, like the planets, bright stars, and the moon have been confused for extraterrestrial vessels. People commonly mistake weather balloons and airplanes for aliens. Everyday objects have been confused for aliens, including birds, kites, and clouds. The argument still rages over UFOs and have never settled. So, now do you believe in aliens?
A certain tourist visiting the Medieval Citadel church in Transylvania has left puzzled by the mysterious object in a 400-year-old masterpiece. Does this medieval wall painting portray a flying saucer in Romanian church? The painting appeared during the 17th century at the church, located in the core of the Medieval Citadel. This place has burnt down twice since it was built. The art adorns the 13th-century monetary wall. However, manager Nicolae Tescula thinks that the strange unidentified object could be the perspective of the artist in connection with heaven’s representation. According to Tescula, the image portrays a less representative or a secondary role, and the church is Evangelical. He believes that Elijah’s presumption to Heaven can lead to a modern representation that people might think it is a UFO. He added that many people believe it is an alien, but in fact, it is an artist’s vision.
According to Romania Insider, the interior decoration of the church includes some other artworks to prevent this from happening. According to the witness, before the object was lost, it moved for three to four minutes.

Footage Shows Gold Light Flying Over Alaska: Is This A UFO Splitting Into Three?
Many people have done it – looked up in the sky, seen an object, and has taken a second look. Even though some archaeologists firmly believe that Unidentified Flying Objects have been documented by early man in cave drawings, it was in World War II that the initial official investigation began. It was the time when military vessel crews were reported seeing glowing objects. As for whether these objects are truth or myth— a person can only speculate. Ever since there have been intense interests in this subject. However, one still has yet to hear or see of actual and concrete evidence of the alien presence. Some people claim they have seen them, but there still are questions. Recently, an eerie video has shown in Alaska another alien encounter that splits into three parts. The footage was captured by Jared A, a YouTube user, and it shows an orb-like light object floating in the sky. As it blinks, He focused his camera and was shocked. Afterward, the orb splits into two to send another golden light hovering through the sky. The orb once again breaks a few moments later, but instead of two, it splits into three this time, with two lights shooting down to the ground.
The witness exclaims an excitement of the incredible sight. Among enthusiasts on YouTube, the footage has provoked countless of excitements. Since the footage is clearer compared to others, people appreciated it. It could be that advanced beings are existing in the universe, but it appears that people should not worry too much; otherwise they are clouding their minds and hearts with irrational fears of the unknown. The thought that there might be other civilizations in the universe should be the reason of excitement—not fear. If they are out there, they are probably much like us in a spiritual sense, at the very least.
First Major UFO Public Hearing Could Have Answers To The Roswell Incident
First Major UFO Public Hearing Could Have Answers To The Roswell Incident
A significant step towards full disclosure will happen very soon as the public debate on the existence of UFOs and aliens with the involvement of former government ministers will be held next month.
Canada has an unprecedented number of UFO sightings and in response to it, the first Canadian National Public Hearing on UFOs is being organized. The inquiry also hopes to get the truth about the 1947 Roswell UFO incident once again.
In 2015 alone, the country received 1,267 incidents involving UFOs.
The major event on June 25, 2016, Saturday, in Brantford, Ontario is to address and investigate the mystery.
A Paul Hellyer-led Canadian research and development team has been formed to organise the important event. Hellyer is a member of the Queen’s Privy Council, former Minister of Defence, and Deputy Prime Minister.
Mr Hellyer is considered as the highest-ranking ex-government official to acknowledge the ET existence and the global cover-up.
According to the spokesman for the research and development team, the panel is composed of elite individuals. They are prepared to present unimpeachable evidence not only the truth about UFO phenomenon, but also the fact that it has been discussed, analysed, investigated, and kept secret from the public at the highest levels of governance on Earth.
Internationally-acclaimed experts are expected to present their case in support to the existence of extraterrestrials, the UFO truth, and what world governments – White House, Pentagon, NORAD, and Vatican – know about the subject matters.

NASA Captures Magnetic Field Explosions Over Earth
NASA Captures Magnetic Field Explosions Over Earth
NASA/GSFC
IN BRIEF
The findings of NASA's MMS mission have been published, and they detail the fundamental processes that occurs when there is magnetic reconnection, and how we managed to capture this event.
MAGNETIC RECONNECTION
Back in 2015, NASA launched four spacecraft known as Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS). Their job was to study the magnetic fields around Earth to gain information on how they connect and disconnect. Now, the mission is getting its first results, with initial observations having been published in the journal Science.
To break this down a bit, the mission was sent to space to find areas where magnetic reconnection occurs. This is a process that converts magnetic energy to kinetic or thermal energy. It occurs during solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and when solar winds interact with the Earth’s magnetic field sans solar storm.
When two sets of magnetic fields connect, an explosive reaction occurs: As the magnetic fields realign and snap into a new formation, they send particles zooming off in jets. This is magnetic reconnection. And since solar winds have their own magnetic fields, when they reach Earth and hit the magnetosphere, magnetic reconnection occurs.
NASA sent up the satellites to witness this phenomenon. Before, all that could be seen was the particles that zoom off after the filed collide, much like seeing the debris flung out from a tornado, but we’ve never seen the storm itself.
SPACE WEATHER
By having the MMS mission, NASA was able to observe one of the fundamental forces of nature. On Oct. 16, 2015, the spacecraft traveled straight through a magnetic reconnection event. In only a few seconds, the total of 100 sensors collected thousands of observations, including how the magnetic and electric fields changed, as well as the speeds and direction of the various charged particles.
But why collect the information?
Well, such information helps map out the details of our space environment — crucial information as we journey ever farther beyond our home planet. The phenomenon also affects the “space weather” found in the Earth’s magnetosphere. Better understanding of the phenomenon allows NASA to improve its predictions for magnetic reconnection and, as a result, better control its equipment in space.

A meteor lit up the night sky over New England and eastern Canada early on Tuesday, startling people who saw it including police officers who captured the show on a dashcam.
A bright light streaked across the sky shortly after 12:50 a.m. ET (0450 GMT) over states extending from Pennsylvania to Maine, according to the American Meteor Society. It was also captured on some security cameras.
About 100 tons of dust and sand-sized particles known as meteorites enter the Earth's atmosphere each day, though most are too small to be noticed, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The Portland, Maine, police department posted a video showing the meteor as videotaped by the dashboard camera of a patrol car. One of the officers could be heard exclaiming, "Oh, my God!"
The airport in Burlington, Vermont, captured the show on a security camera.
NASA estimates that a meteor about the size of a car enters the Earth's atmosphere on average once a year, producing an impressive fireball that burns up before reaching the ground.
Britse oud-agent: “Aliens waren geïnteresseerd in geheime voorraad kernwapens”
Britse oud-agent: “Aliens waren geïnteresseerd in geheime voorraad kernwapens”
De Britse oud-politieagent Gary Heseltine (56) heeft zich uitgesproken over een bekende UFO-waarneming in Groot-Brittannië. Hij claimt dat een Britse vliegbasis, RAF Bentwaters, is bezocht door aliens die geïnteresseerd waren in een geheime kernwapenopslag op de basis.
Heseltine claimt dat plaatsvervangend commandant van de basis, kolonel Charles Halt, tegen hem heeft gezegd dat op de basis het grootste kernwapenarsenaal van Europa lag opgeslagen. “Halt vertelde me dat op Bentwaters meer kernwapens lagen opgeslagen dan waar ook in Europa,” zei hij.
Vreemde symbolen
In december 1980 werden drie avonden achter elkaar UFO’s waargenomen boven de basis. Sergeant Jim Penniston zei dat hij één van de objecten, een klein driehoekig vaartuig, had aangeraakt. De buitenkant van het vaartuig ‘voelde zacht aan’ en was voorzien van ‘vreemde symbolen die op Egyptische hiërogliefen leken’.
Heseltine, die in zijn tijd bij de politie kernwapens moest bewaken, zei: “Terwijl ik samen met mijn vrouw Lynn en kolonel Halt door Rendlesham Forest wandelde, hoorde ik hem duidelijk zeggen dat er op Bentwaters meer kernwapens lagen opgeslagen dan waar ook in Europa en dat de vredesdemonstranten geen idee hadden waar ze precies lagen.”
Bedreiging voor de aarde
Kolonel Halt ontkende tegenover de Daily Mirror echter dat hij dergelijke uitspraken heeft gedaan tegenover de oud-agent. In december 1980 was de basis in opperste staat van paraatheid omdat Sovjettroepen zich op dat moment verzamelden langs de Poolse grens.
Heseltine is momenteel werkzaam als redacteur van het internetmagazine UFO Truth. Hij voegde toe: “Door deze informatie wordt voor het eerste duidelijk waarom er eind december 1980 UFO’s bij de basis verschenen. De enorme voorraad illegale kernwapens vormde een bedreiging voor de aarde.”
In 2013 verklaarde Heseltine tijdens de zogenoemde Citizen Hearing on Disclosure het volgende:
Sightings of unidentified flying objects in the territories we know today as European Russia, Ukraine, the Baltics, Belarus, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Siberia and Far East began thousands of years ago. Some fascinating sightings took place in the tumultuous 17th century.

UFOs over Georgia
Georgia, one of the most ancient and beautiful countries in the world, is situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The name of the country is Sakartvelo in the Georgian language. Georgia is a mountainous country bordered by the Russian Federation in the north.
The 17th century was full of hardships and suffering for the people of Georgia. But indomitable Georgians rose up to liberate Georgia from the Safavid dynasty of Persia and the Ottoman Empire of Turkey, on a number ofoccasions.
Map of the Ottoman and Safavid Empires.
Western Georgia belonged to the Osman Ottoman by the terms of the 1639 treaty. Akhaltsikhe is a small city in Georgia’s southwestern region (mkhare) of Samtskhe-Javakheti. The city has been around for at least 800 years, and was a regional administrative center for the Ottomans from the 16th century up to the Russo-Turkish War.
Deacon Zakaria Sarkawagi was a churchman and Armenian historian. He was known as Zakaria of Kanaker, for he was born in 1626 in the village of Kanaker, now a suburb of Yerevan; he died in 1699 in a monastery of Hovhannavank (in the present-day Armenia). His writings dealt with the socioeconomic history of the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the 17th century and describe the wars between the Safavids and the Ottomans in Armenia and Mesopotamia. His manuscripts are kept in Yerevan, in the Matenadaran Archives. Sarkawagi’s writings were published in 1870, Zakaria Sarkawagi patmagrut’iwn (Chronicle). Khronika, translated by M. Darbinian-Melikian (Moscow, 1969) was the Russian translation based on all available manuscripts.

Mikhail Gershtein, the foremost UFO researcher in Russia today, has mentioned two works of Sarkawagi that contain fascinating descriptions of UFOs (Mikhail Gerstein, Po tu storonu NLO, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 2002). He referred to the article published in the extremely popular Soviet magazine Tekhnika-Molodyozhi(Issue 6, 1991), where a number of articles about UFOs, ancient astronaut hypothesis, and paranormal phenomena had been published by its audacious editors during the scant, less ideologically rigid periods of the Soviet era.
The article, titled Kamennaya letopis’ vtorzheniy was written by Akop Tonakanyan, the Chairman of the Ufology Commission of Yerevan, and Vadim Orlov, the science writer for Tekhnika-Molodyozhi. It mentioned two manuscripts of Zakaria Sarkawagi.
One was titled Regarding the fall of light from the sky, and the other manuscript was titled About heavenly signs in the sky.
The first one contains description of a phenomenon that Zakaria Sarkawagi observed in 1641.
“In the day the cross was erected, he wrote, during the sunset, it was not dark yet, and the daylight continued. Suddenly, the ether on the eastern side exploded, and descending was a large and blue light. Wide and long, it descended to approach the Earth, and its light illuminated everything around, brighter than the Sun. And the front part of the light rotated like a wheel, moving to the north, red and white (sic), and in front of the light, at the distance of an open palm (of a hand-P.S.) was a star, the size of Venus. My father sand, crying, six sharakans; the light was still visible, but later departed and became invisible, and we heard later that this wonderful light was observed in Akhaltsikhe.”
In the other manuscript, About heavenly signs in the sky, Zakaria Sarkawagi described a mysterious phenomenon from 1679.
“One night everyone saw in the air something [that looked] like a staff and spear. The ends were like those of a lance. They began to turn gradually east and west. This lasted for 20 days, and then quickly disappeared. After that a star appeared; a very large one, of yellow color, with long and bulky hair that pointed to the west. And the hair radiated and like sparks fell on the ground. This lasted for a month and two days. [The star] never moved from the spot, was visible sometimes in the evening, sometimes in the morning, and sometimes at night, but later would disappear.”
Perhaps there are more observations about the mysterious spear-shaped UFOs scattered throughout ancient manuscripts.
UFOs over Russia
The most famous UFO sighting in the ancient Russian history occurred during the reign of Czar Alexey. Yuri Roszius and other Russian researchers of the paranormal phenomena have studied it extensively. The event occurred “in the year 171” (that is, the year 7171 from “the creation of the world”). It corresponds to the year 1663 C.E.
The details of this amazing and enigmatic event have been preserved because of the efforts of the Archaeographic Commission. It published a collection of its Historical Acts in 1842. Among these acts was an authentic 17th century document. It was signed by Ivan (Ivashko) Rzhevsky, a “laborer“; a report to his “masters” about something that had happened 10 versts from their Loza monastery estate. A verst is approximately 3500 feet. Here is an account of the event, translated to contemporary terms.
On August 15, 1663, between 10 a.m. and noon, local time, a “great noise” resounded over Robozero Lake, located in the Vologda Region; about 50 kilometers southwest of Belozersk. From the north, out of the clear sky appeared a huge flaming sphere no less than 40 meters in diameter.

From its fore part emitted two “flame” beams, about “20 sazhens ahead of it” (i.e. around 40 meters; asazhen is 2.13 meters). From its sides poured blue smoke. This huge ball of fire, its height like that of a modern 15-story building, hovered over the lake.
The phenomenon was observed by a multitude of people. It was the day of the Assumption, and villagers from all of nearby villages gathered for Mass at the parish church, situated on the lake shore. The “great noise” occurred just as the prayer singing had begun. Terrified by this noise, the people emerged from the church to the vestibule, but upon seeing the “frightful sight” they went back into the church and “prayed to the Lord and the Virgin Mary with tears and weeping,” whereupon “the great flame and the two smaller ones vanished.” However, soon after “the fiery flame” again appeared over the lake, somewhat to the west, “about half a versta (approximately 1750 feet) from the spot where it had vanished.”
Artist rendering of the UFO over Robozero Lake.
Its appearance was just as unexpected as the first time and it had “dimmed.” A little later the same body, seemingly becoming even brighter and more terrifying, reappeared another half kilometer to the west, and then, moving westward, it dimmed and disappeared from view.
The “flame” hovered over Robozero for about an hour and a half. The lake is quite small, its size “two versts long and about one wide.” Peasants were sailing in a boat in the lake at the time, but the scorching heat did not let them come closer. They saw that light from the unknown object penetrated the water, and reached the bottom of the lake that was “about four sazhens down.” They observed “fish fleeing from the flame towards the shore.” And where the flame touched the water, appeared a brown film of oxide on the surface, resembling rust (“just like rust”); it was later dispersed by wind.
Ivan Rzhevsky was an educated and intelligent man, as his observations reveal quite clearly. He went as far as to check out the testimony of an eyewitness, a peasant by the name of Levko Fedorov. He also received written confirmation from the local priests that “such a sign was observed on that date;” only then did Rzhevsky report the occurrence to his superiors. The Russian author provides a detailed description of the phenomenon, but does not offer any subjective interpretation of it.
Others tried to interpret the Robozero Phenomenon. Russian astronomer D. Svyatski, in his book “Astronomical phenomena in Russian chronicles (Petrograd, 1915),” claims that the eyewitnesses saw pieces of a meteorite that flew apart after an explosion. How could the people in the boat approach a hovering body? Some have tried to explain it as a ball lightning. But there was no storm and no rain that day. A lightning’s life span is short. Its diameter is not larger than a meter, certainly never 40 meters. Then, there were two rays that emitted from the body. Ball lightning does not emit rays.
Artist rendering of the UFO over Robozero Lake.
Yuri Roszius analyzed Rzhevsky’s report. His detailed analysis included the study of one interesting episode related by eyewitnesses. The document notes a change in the outer appearance of the object: an increase in its brightness when it came into view for the third time. For some reason this change preceded the start of the object’s progressive movement westward. In modern times, such increase in brightness could be attributed to the firing a cruise engines (increase in its trust). Is it by chance that the object’s brightness increased before its departure?
The Robozero Phenomenon did not really end in 1663. An expedition was sent to the area in the summer of 1982. It was headed by Candidate of Science (Physics and Mathematical Sciences), E. Gorshkov. He was also the science secretary of the Leningrad Commission for Anomalous Phenomena of the Geographic Society of the USSR; and manager of the Magnetic and Ionosphere laboratory of the Leningrad division of the Institute of Earth Magnetism, Ionosphere and Distribution of Radio Waves of the Soviet Academy of Sciences(IZMIRAN).
This Institute had actively participated in the SETKA, the secret UFO research program from 1978 through 1991, sanctioned by Soviet government.

The expedition had explored the area with special magnetometric equipment (instrument for measuring the magnitude and direction of a magnetic field). They discovered anomalous changes in the geomagnetic filed in the areas of hypothetical flight trajectory of the object (where it reportedly hovered and radiated). Such changes may be related to powerful electromagnetic influence of the low-flying object on strata of lake sediments.
Characteristics of “magnetic memory” of the sedimentary matter ensured that the traces of such influence were preserved. The 1982 research had confirmed not only the objective reality of the Robozero Phenomenon (according to Gherman Kolchin, former Soviet military officer, Russian writer and UFO researcher) but also its high energy content.
A Portuguese witness at Faro who is a pilot reported a cross-shaped UFO crossing the sky, according to Case 74679 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside near his home at 3 p.m. on September 13, 2015, when the incident occurred.
“The Algarve, Portugal, sighting was a clear UFO,” the witness stated. “I am using aviation phrases to describe conditions. I am flying for more than 15 years.”

The witness described the object.
“No noise, no directional change, straight line path flying over the coastline on approximately track 270 magnetic course. The sun at the day in early September was shining bright conditions CAVOK. From the side where the sun lighted the object it was white and had a shape like a Katana micro plane – the school two-seater, but was built up in two levels. On the backside there raged out a hockey stick-like aileron which was not moving.”
The witness reviewed the object’s position and ground speed.
“The object was flying direction west parallel to the eastwards right-hand upwind of FAO airport (the usual commercial outbound) routing. This means against the direction of commercial traffic and a bit above the route. The object was moving with approximately 250 KTS steadily.”

The witness tried to keep the object in sight as it moved.
“As I ran behind the next building to follow it up, it was out of my sight at approximately 60 degrees angle from the horizon directly over the city center of Quarteira, Portugal, direction Albufeira.”
The witness is certain the object was nothing he has ever seen.
“Conclusion: We have a small house in the area which I have been visiting since 25 years. In this time there I have never witnessed such an object flying in the area. Also there was sure no educated pilot in charge, because flying an object in a departure area of an international airport would be suicidal.”
Monique Lessan for MUFON International investigated and closed this case as an Unknown. The case was reported to MUFON on February 23, 2016.
“The ceiling and visibility was okay,” Lessan wrote in her report. “This means that in a range of 10 nautical miles around the spot there wasn’t any clouds or cloud ceiling up to 10,000 feet/ground. According to the witness, the object came from the east and headed straight towards the west in steady altitude. No position lights, no noise, no glow– nothing.The witness stated that as it passed over the building to the left of the umbrella, he was running around the house, to follow it up, but he couldn’t find the object anymore in the sky.The witness was stunned! The witness said that the object was flying either really high or it wasn’t so large, but he could clearly see it with his eyes. If he wasn’t watching the sky or if his eyes were not good, he wouldn’t have accidentally seen the object. The witness also thought if it was the ISS, a Satellite or similar, but those kind of objects, you wouldn’t be able to see it in such bright daylight with naked eyes.”

The investigator concluded the case.
“The witness appears to be professional and reliable. Having been a long time pilot – over 15 years – he is very specific with his calculation and conclusions. After my investigation I came to conclude the disposition of UAV.”
Faro is a municipality, southernmost city and seat of the district of the same name, in the Algarve region of southern Portugal, population 64,560.

The witness was outside at a local Air Force base working as a civilian housekeeper and happened to look up at 7:53 p.m. on June 3, 2015.
“I watched this cylinder-shaped object slowly cruise across the sky as if it was just gliding slowly,” the witness stated.“I’ve never seen anything like this.”
But there was another object in the sky.
“Right behind it was clearly a jet or an airplane I don’t know which but it had a stream coming from behind it. It was following the object at a steady pace, never getting too close.I caught most of it on video with my phone. I put my phone away because we’re not supposed to have them.”
Cropped and enlarged frame from the witness video. (Credit: MUFON)
The witness watched as the object moved away.
“As I watched for the next few minutes, the further the object got, it got smaller until it looked like a bright star and then it just vanished, leaving nothing there but the jet.”
Later that evening, the witness said that there was heavy military traffic in the air.
“Moments later as I stood there looking in amazement, a military patrol car passed by, so I went on with my work. I had been working there since April of this year but that evening there was heavy air traffic after the event. I couldn’t help but wonder if the two have something to do with each other because I had never seen that much air traffic over the base since I worked there. Shortly after I was fired and told they didn’t have to give me a reason why they were letting me go.”
Louisiana MUFON is investigating. Barksdale Air Force Base is situated just east of Bossier City. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Stanton Friedman Says MUFON Is Taking Money To Keep 140 Cases Quiet, May 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
This is an interesting case. At 2:13 into the video, Lionsground of Youtube is talking about how Stanton Friedman (#1 UFO researcher in the world right now), said that MUFON is taking money from Bigelow Aerospace to keep 140 UFO cases hidden from view. Now this is news to me, but over the last six years I have heard a lot of rumors that MUFON has been infiltrated by US agents that hide the most important cases from the public. This worries me...when govt is controlling public agencies. We owe a deep thanks to Stanton Friedman and Lionsground for bringing this to the publics attention. Scott C.

Here is something you don't see everyday, a meteorite thats been carved into a human skull. Often I wonder about the material that makes up these metal meteorites...are they normal, or could some of them be made from nano technology? Not all of course, but there is always a chance of such things. Also note, that the crystal pattern is only seen in meteorites and not seen on minerals on Earth. Like some kind of amazing matrix crystallisation. Anyways, this is cool. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: A rare and singular combination of natural history and modern art, Lee Downey's “Yorick.” is a life-size skull carved from a large Gibeon meteorite that crashed in the Kalahari Desert in Namibia a thousand years ago. An artist who is known for selecting exotic materials with which to work, Downey acid-etched the carving to uncover the Gibeon meteorite's singular, lattice-like pattern. "A symbol of death, of eternity, of immortality, of demise and rebirth." he explains, "Of any material I could think of to fashion an accurate human skull out of, this Gibeon meteorite best embodies the 'mystery' most acutely." The astonishing piece will be auctioned by Bonhams on November 24th 2015 and has already been estimated at around $400,000.

Government and military secrets can range from terrifying to amusing to downright absurd, but most are nothing short of intriguing. From a secret U.S. Air Force project to build a supersonic flying saucer to a now-famous World War II-era research program that produced the first atomic bombs, here are seven declassified military or CIA secrets.

7. Project 1794
In late 2012, the U.S. Air Force declassified a trove of documents, including records of a secret program to build a flying saucer-type aircraft designed to shoot down Soviet bombers. The ambitious program, called Project 1794, was initiated in the 1950s, and a team of engineers was tasked with building a disc-shape vehicle capable of traveling at supersonic speeds at high altitudes.
The declassified documents reveal plans for the plane to reach a top speed of Mach 4 (four times the speed of sound), and reach an altitude of 100,000 feet (30,480 meters). The project's estimated cost was more than $3 million, which in today's dollars would be more than $26 million.
Project 1794 was canceled in December 1961 after tests suggested the flying saucer design was aerodynamically unstable and would likely be uncontrollable at high speeds (let alone supersonic speeds).
In the 1960s, the U.S. Army embarked on a secret mission to build a series of mobile nuclear missile launch sites under the Greenland ice sheet. The objective was to house medium-range missiles close enough to strike targets within the Soviet Union.
The program was codenamed Project Iceworm, but to test its feasibility, the Army launched a cover research project called "Camp Century" in 1960. Under this guise, engineers built a network of underground buildings and tunnels, including living quarters, a kitchen, a recreation hall, infirmary, laboratories, supply rooms, a communications center and a nuclear power plant.
The base, which was kept secret from the Danish government, operated for seven years. The program was canceled in 1966 after shifting ice created unstable conditions. Today, the crushed remains of Project Iceworm are buried beneath Arctic snow.
During the Cold War, the CIA initiated Project MK-ULTRA, a secret and illegal human research program to investigate potential mind-control systems. The program's operators examined the effects of hypnosis, biological agents and drugs, such as LSD and barbiturates, on human subjects. Some historians suggest the program was designed to develop a mind-control system that could be used to "program" the brains of potential assassins. [The 10 Craziest Military Experiments]
In 1973, then-CIA director Richard Helms ordered that all documents from Project MK-ULTRA be destroyed, but a formal investigation into the program was launched several years later. The project became the basis for several movies, such as "The Manchurian Candidate" and "The Men Who Stare at Goats."

4. Area 51
Almost no other site has garnered as much attention from conspiracy theorists and UFO-enthusiasts as Area 51, a remote desert tract near Groom Lake in Nevada, roughly 83 miles (134 kilometers) northwest of Las Vegas. The intense secrecy surrounding the base sparked peoples' imaginations, and Area 51 was commonly linked to paranormal activities, including pervasive theories that suggested Area 51 hid aliens and UFOs.
In July 2013, declassified documents from the CIA acknowledged the existence of Area 51 for the first time, and confirmed that the top-secret sitewas used to test a variety of spy planes, including the well-known U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.
While Area 51, which operates as a detachment of Edwards Air Force Base in neighboring California, has never been declared a covert base, the research and activities conducted there were some of the nation's most closely guarded secrets.
While Area 51 was not a top-secret base designed to study extraterrestrials, the U.S. Air Force did study the existence of UFOs. Project Grudge was a short-lived program launched in 1949 to study unidentified flying objects. The mission followed an earlier program, known as Project Sign, which published a report in early 1949 stating that while some UFOs seemed to be actual aircraft, there was not enough data to determine their origins. [Top 10 States for UFO Sightings]
Critics of Project Grudge said the program solely set out to debunk UFO reports, and very little actual research was conducted. In his book on the topic, Edward J. Ruppelt, Air Force Captain and director of Project Grudge, wrote: "[I]t doesn't take a great deal of study of the old UFO files to see that standard intelligence procedures were not being followed by Project Grudge. Everything was being evaluated on the premise that UFOs couldn't exist. No matter what you see or hear, don't believe it."

2. Operation Paperclip
In September 1946, President Harry Truman authorized a program called Operation Paperclip, which aimed to lure scientists from Nazi Germany to the United States following World War II. Officials at the Office of Strategic Services (the predecessor to the CIA) recruited German scientists to America to aid the country's postwar efforts, which would also ensure that valuable scientific knowledge would not end up in the hands of the Soviet Union or the divided East and West Germany.
One of the most well-known secret research programs is the Manhattan Project, which eventually produced the world's first atomic bombs. The project began in 1939, and was cloaked in secrecy as physicists investigated the potential power of atomic weapons. From 1942 to 1946, Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers led the Manhattan Project.
The first nuclear bomb was detonated at 5:30 a.m. on July 16, 1945, during the so-called Trinity test at the Alamogordo Air Base, 120 miles (193 km) south of Albuquerque, N.M. The explosion created a mushroom cloud that stretched 40,000 feet (12,200 m), and the bomb's explosive power was equivalent to more than 15,000 tons of TNT.
A month after the Trinity test, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in the waning stages of World War II. To date, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain the only uses of nuclear weapons in war.

In her race to secure the Democratic nomination for president, Hillary Clinton has recently drawn support from an unusual voter base — alien enthusiasts. First in a radio interview, then again on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Clinton expressed interest in making public files about UFOs and the mysterious Nevada site called Area 51.
"I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that public as possible. If there's nothing there, let's tell people there's nothing there," said Clinton, speaking with Kimmel. She confirmed that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had also gone looking for extraterrestrial information during his presidency and came up empty.
"If anyone is expecting to find flying saucers or dead aliens or any of that stuff, I think they'll be very disappointed," said Jeffrey T. Richelson, senior fellow with the National Security Archive at George Washington University, of this hypothetical release, in an interview with Live Science.
The National Security Archive, a nonprofit founded in 1985 to uncover and archive government documents and release them to the public, holds the second-largest collection of declassified U.S. files (the federal government has the largest repository).
As part of the archive's efforts, Richelson edited a release of declassified Area 51 files in 2013 that included more than 60 documents. Among many other activities, these files shed some light on Area 51's role in the development of stealth programs and the test flights of covertly obtained Soviet MiG fighter jets during the Cold War.
What is Area 51?
Warning signs tell people to stay away from Area 51.
Located in Nevada about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northwest of Las Vegas, Area 51 is a military base that is restricted to the public. Its official name is the Nevada Test and Training Range, which is part of the Edwards Air Force Base.
Over the years, people who have worked (and claimed to have worked) at Area 51 have added fuel to the UFO fire with claims of working with aliens or having access to alien technology gathered from spacecraft crash sites. [7 Huge Misconceptions About Aliens]
"It's important to separate [what really happened there] from what most people think of when they think of Area 51: that that's where there is alien technology, a crash that had occurred somewhere that had been picked up by the military and kept there in a super-secret base, and all that kind of stuff," said Roger D. Launius, associate director for collections and curatorial affairs at the National Air and Space Museum. "That piece of it is a folklore that has no bearing [on] and no relationship to any reality whatsoever."
The scoop on spy planes
What is real, added Launius, is the facility's involvement in highly classified aerospace research and development.
Area 51's connection to experimental aircraft may be a reason why people have connected it with extraterrestrial cover-ups. After all, it is a well-known yet super-secret base that has many strange aircraft fly in and out of it, Richelson said. By his estimation, further details about the different aircraft programs that have connections to Area 51 would be the most likely results of any actions Clinton would take to declassify documents about the facility.
Specifically, Richelson theorized that further declassification of Area 51 documents could fill us in on what has gone on there after the U-2, OXCART (the successor to the U-2), F-117 and SR-71 Blackbird secret aircraft projects, which were featured in the 2013 document release. It's a challenge to theorize about the contents of secret documents, but Richelson's best guesses were that the public might gain additional information about stealth-drone programs, such asthe RQ-170 and RQ-180, and other exotic aircraft that were tested but never produced in significant numbers.
One aircraft that he said we could learn more about is the Northrop Tacit Blue, a battlefield surveillance aircraft that, according to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, "tested advanced radar sensors and new ideas in stealth technology." This unusual plane, with curves reminiscent of a to-go box, flew 135 times before the program ended in 1985.
Regardless of whether people are invested in extraterrestrial revelations, Launius said there is an important point to be made about Clinton's declassification discussions. "I would like to think that, whoever the president is — whether it's Mrs. Clinton or it's Mr. Trump, or it's somebody else, or the current president as well — that every piece of classified information that exists inside the federal government that is no longer necessary for our national security, should be declassified," he said.
While he is in favor of openness in regard to government records, Launius also notes that declassification does require significant effort and may take several years to complete, even with a presidential push.
Ex-cop claims aliens in famed British UFO encounter were 'interested in secret stash of nuclear weapons'
Ex-cop claims aliens in famed British UFO encounter were 'interested in secret stash of nuclear weapons'
BYJON DILLON
The revelations have been made by Gary Heseltine after officers claimed a UFO spotted at RAF Bentwaters travelled 120 miles in eight seconds
A former police officer has come forward with astonishing information which he says sheds new light on Britain's most famous UFO case.
Gary Heseltine, 56, claims a UFO visited RAF Bentwaters as extra-terrestrials were interested in a 'secret' stash of nuclear weapons at the American airbase.
The incident, dubbed the British Roswell, made the front page of the now defunct News of the World and has sparked several books and documentaries.
Gary, who clocked up almost 24 years in the British Transport Police, claims the deputy base commander, Colonel Charles Halt, told him the Suffolk airbase had the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in Europe.
Gary Heseltine

UFOs reportedly buzzed Rendlesham Forest and the nearby USAF base over three nights in late December 1980.
During one close encounter, Staff Sergeant Jim Penniston says he even touched a small triangular craft describing it as "smooth to touch" with strangle symbols similar to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs before it zoomed away.
Col Halt led a small team of experts into the woods when the UFO returned two nights later and made a 20-minute tape recording as he described the object as like a 'red winking eye'.
Gary Heseltine

He also filed a memo detailing the incident to the British Ministry of Defence which was released under auspices of the Freedom of Information Act a few years later.
The most controversial aspect of the incident are reports the UFO fired beams of light into the 'weapons storage area' - a term used by the military for nuclear bunkers.
Retired detective Gary claims Col Halt told him that RAF Bentwaters had "more nuclear missiles in the weapons storage area (WSA) than anywhere else in Europe".
He says the high-ranking USAF official made the shocking admission as they toured the base and Rendlesham Forest for a documentary, which was never made.
Col Halt is one of the highest ranking military witnesses in the world to have talked about UFOs.
Gary, who guarded nukes while serving in the RAF Police, said: "As my wife Lynn and I walked with Colonel Halt through Rendlesham Forest I clearly remember him saying 'that there were more nuclear weapons in the WSA at Bentwaters than anywhere else in the whole of Europe' and he laughed that the peace protesters who were just up the road camped outside Greenham Common were oblivious as to where they really were."
Backing up her husband, Lynn said: "I clearly remember Colonel Halt saying that there were 'more nuclear weapons in the WSA at Bentwaters than anywhere else in Europe'. It has always stayed with me because of the fact that the peace protesters at Greenham Common had been duped."
However Col Halt told Mirror.co.uk: "My comment to Gary was, 'It appears the beam was in or near the weapons storage area'.
"Keep in mind I was a mile or more away. I never made such a statement about weapons to Gary. Those are his conclusions."
Gary Heseltine

The UK and US governments have always had a policy of neither confirming nor denying that weapons of mass destruction were stored at the base.
In December 1980, the base was on high alert as Soviet troops were massing on the border of Poland over Lech Walesa and the rise of the solidarity movement and there was a US hostage crisis ongoing in the Middle East.

Gary, from Scunthorpe, Lincs, now edits UFO Truth ezine.
He added: "This information now provides for the first time a genuine motive as to why UFOs turn up at the bases in late December 1980 at a time of world crisis and clearly implies to me that a huge cache of illegal nuclear weapons posed a potential destabilising threat to the Earth."
The latest twist comes after two retired radar operators at the base claimed the UFO travelled 120 miles in eight seconds.
Ike Barker and Jim Carey tracked the unidentified target making a sharp right angle turn on radar and said it was not man-made.
However sceptics claim the UFO was a lighthouse, the re-entry of a satellite or a meteor, despite high radiation readings taken by experts at the landing site.

The US, Russia, and China are building ultra high-speed hypersonic missiles as part of a new strategic arms race focused on weapons that maneuver at speeds from 4,000 to 11,000 mph. Two basic designs include gliders and jet-powered vehicles. These new missiles move so fast that current US missile defense systems would be overwhelmed and rendered obsolete.
In January 2016, China conducted its first test of its new hypersonic missile vehicle, WU-14, that is part of its strategic nuclear and conventional missile program. All told, China has conducted six successful tests of its hypersonic glide vehicle. According to military experts, the WU-14 is designed to be launched from one of China’s intercontinental ballistic missiles. WU-14 is currently designed for a top speed of ten times the speed of sound or about 3,402 mph.
Russia also recently tested the YU-71, a hypersonic glider capable of delivering nuclear and conventional warheads that would penetrate US advanced missile defenses. The Russians are developing air and sea launched missiles capable of destroying naval ships, buildings, air defenses, satellites, and jets.

For its part, the US Army tested DARPA’s Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2), traveling at 13,000 mph, or Mach 20, during its Aug. 11, 2011, test flight. In another test in 2014, the HTV blew up shortly after launch. Since then, the US has made hypersonic missile technology a major priority, awarding multimillion contracts to Raytheon and Lockheed Martin with new test launches planned as early as 2020.
While all three militaries work on hypersonic missile technology, they are also strengthening underground missile silos and facilities to withstand strikes by hypersonic missiles.
The following video discusses the new arms race between China, Russia, and the US.

The Unexplained Files: Abduction (Discovery Channel) The abduction of Fred Valentich Full Documentary. Flight officer Steve Robey recalls the last conversation he had with Fred Valentich. Valentich thought he was being buzzed by a mysterious craft.
On the night of October 21, 1978 Frederick Valentich radioed into air traffic control in Melborne with some strange news. An unidentified metallic craft was toying with his Cessna as he flew over the Bass Strait en route to King's Island. No one ever saw him or his aircraft again.
It all happened during the largest wave of UFO sightings Australia had ever seen. Over fifty reports were uncovered from the area of Valentich's disappearance on that day alone. Some reported classic cigar-shaped craft while others saw a "starfish-shaped" object with lights that looked like "silver rain." Electronic interferance was noted in a number of these reports.
Some witnesses even said they saw a "green light" shadowing Valentich's aircraft on the night in question.
In the early days of DARPA’s work on stealth technology, Have Blue, a prototype of what would become the F-117A, first flew successfully in 1977. The success of the F-117A program marked the beginning of the stealth revolution, which has had enormous benefits for national security.
IN BRIEF
DARPA just pushed development of its Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) out of Phase 1 and into Phase 2—prototyping. The reusable spacecraft could allow for daily launches in the future.
Falcon 9 ushered in a new age in space tech: reusablity. The ability for the Falcon 9 rocket toreliably land ensures cheaper and reusable rockets, and allows for cheaper space flights in general. Can it get any better than that?
As it turns out, it can—with the reusable space plane.
DARPA is pushing development of its Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) spacecraft to Phase 2. While Phase 1 was focused on presentation and selection of designs, Phase 2 will be centered around building prototypes. As of now, there are three companies in the running to build XS-1 for DARPA: Boeing, Masten Space Systems, and Northrop Grumman.
XS-1 will reportedly utilize a spaceplane-based launch system. Once airborne, the XS-1 would gain altitude and accelerate to near escape velocity. An expendable upper stage would separate and boost up into orbit to deliver its cargo. The other stage—the actual spaceplane—will do all the heavy lifting. This stage will glide down for a soft landing after the upper stage detaches.
With such a system, DARPA hopes to dramatically cut down the cost of traveling into space. The system even has the potential to make daily launches possible, a milestone that would capture the interest of military and commercial space players alike.
Today’s Stars May Evolve Differently Than Stars in the Early Universe
Today’s Stars May Evolve Differently Than Stars in the Early Universe
ESO/L. Calçada
IN BRIEF
Scientists found that typical galaxies forming stars in the early universe have only twenty percent of metals compared with those in the present day universe. These new findings are helping scientists reconsider theories on how stars form.
UNCERTAIN THEORIES
An international team of scientists has discovered discrepancies in our theories on star formation. When the team used the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii to study the role of metal content in the star formation rates of distant galaxies, they discovered metal content in these galaxies is similar, regardless of the galaxies’ star formation activity.
The scientists were studying 41 normal star-forming galaxies that were 11 billion light years away using the Multi-Object Spectrograph for Infrared Exploration (MOSFIRE) instrument installed on the Keck I telescope.

Credit:3D-HST/NASA/ESA/STScIThey saw that typical galaxies forming stars in the Universe two billion years after the Big Bang have only 20% of metals (elements heavier than helium) compared to those in the present-day Universe. They also discovered that the metal content is independent of the strength of the star-formation activity—in stark contrast with what is known for recently formed, or nearby galaxies.
MAKING METALS
The amount of metal that forms in a galaxy is the result of a complex interplay between gas coming into the galaxy, star formation in the galaxy, and gas outflowing from the galaxy in the cosmological context. Knowing the amount of metal a galaxy forms, and how that correlates to star formation activity, is fundamental to understanding how galaxies evolve in a distant Universe.
According to prior understanding, scientists would have expected a higher metallicity in less active star-forming galaxies than what was found, as part of the normal stellar and galaxy evolution. These new findings reveal that the role of star formation is not as strong at great distances, as it is at zero.
This lack of influence of the strength of star formation in the metal enrichment in distant galaxies implies that the physical condition regulating star formation in galaxies in the early Universe is possibly different from that seen in the present-day Universe.

Huge spacecraft and 100 km highway discovered in 1968 moon Photo
A 1968 photo taken during a Lunar Orbiter mission to the moon shows what appears to be a spacecraft that is at least 10 miles (16 km) long resting inside the Crater Manlius. Most of the object is well illuminated by the sun, but the rest is in the shadows of the crater which is approximately 24 miles in diameter and 2 miles deep, What appears to be a spacecraft cockpit is in shadows. What is even more compelling in the Lunar Orbiter photo is what appears to be a road that stretches across the entire horizontal width of the photo. The road can be estimated to be 120 miles (200 km) long and as much as a mile wide (1.6 km).
The Devil’s Grave—Crash Site of a Colossal UFO (Part II)
The Devil’s Grave—Crash Site of a Colossal UFO (Part II)
After ‘the Devil’ found its resting place at Shaitan Mazar, a second expedition has departed in the summer of 1992 to find the remains.
The UFO organization SAKKUFON could not afford losing anymore precious time and resources, that’s why this time, the crew members were carefully selected based on strict criteria. Under the command of retired Major G. Svechkov, the unit went through a series of preparatory physical tests over the course of several months.
During the expedition, the main group was divided into three smaller ones so that at least one of them would succeed in reaching the crashed UFO. Their main objective was to collect as many evidence as possible from the crash site.
They separated on June 1992 after reaching the base camp located about two miles away from the place. The three patrols then had to escalade a dangerous mountain slope in order to reach their destination. After this feat, the only obstacle in their way remained the presumed electrical field in the area. They also had to pay attention to the rumors speaking of villagers that suffered mysterious burns upon approaching the site.
The three divisions met one mile away from the site. From this point they could see the robust object crashed on a desolate plateau. Although the men had trained for this moment for several months, they were still overcome by anxiety and fatigue.
Before heading towards the UFO, they searched for anomalous activity in the vicinity and soon discovered a potent force field that had taken over the area near the object. About three quarters of a mile from the object, all electronic devices failed to respond. Their previous plan to thoroughly inspect the crash site had failed, and they now had to rely only on traditional means to establish the final report.
The crew determined that the UFO smashed into a nearby cliff and broke into two pieces before tumbling down the mountain slope for more than 5,000 feet before stabilizing on the plateau below. The metallic outer covering had been torn open by the explosion, revealing the interior design which consisted of two levels. When the men tried to venture further, they were hold aback by an invisible force field that seemed to cover about half a mile from the UFO.
Although they couldn’t see any alien bodies from that distance, it was at least enough to spot the mysterious green symbols on the sides. UFOlogist Nikolay Subbotin copied them on paper and determined they didn’t belong to any known earthen language. At this point, they were certain the UFO was the one described by the MIG fighters one year from now.
Remains of the MI-8 military helicopter were also visible not far from their position. The investigation led them to believe that the helicopter crashed because of the force field that also denied them further access. Mysteriously enough, no bodies were found inside or near the wrecked helicopter.
There was nothing much the group could do in this case. With the force field preventing them from exploring possibly one of the greatest mysteries of the modern world, and with all the electronic gear malfunctioning, they finally decided to return to base.
Bringing back proof of this UFO crash would have the entire scientific community review their beliefs, but all photographic and video evidence were compromised. However, they didn’t return empty handed, as there were plenty of drawings, notes and sketches taken by the crew, along with their personal accounts of the incident.
This failure (if we can call it that) had only inspired them to return once more to eventually breach the force field and explore the UFO wreckage. Because of insufficient funding, they couldn’t make use of a helicopter right away, that’s why they had to delay the mission until 1998 and cross the mountains all over again.
In the six years that had passed since their last visit, the UFO had disappeared. The helicopter wreck was gone as well. In all likelihood, the military had removed the UFO and nature had taken care of any remaining tracks. The electromagnetic anomalies were no longer present, leading the group to realize they had made the third journey in vain.
Hopeless, they understood the Shaitan Mazar UFO incident was a closed chapter and returned to their usual lives.
The incident remains an enigma until this day, and although physical evidence is missing, the case cannot be fully dismissed. We still have the sketches and testimonies of four jet pilots, backed up by ground radar data.
The members of the second expedition to the Devil’s Grave swear by what they saw and despite criticism, they still hold their claims. It seems the alleged crash of an alien craft into the Tien Shan Mountains is destined to remain a mystery, but some believe the Devil’s Grave was indeed the temporary tomb of an unidentified flying object of otherworldly origins.
Schilderij in middeleeuwse kerk in Roemenië bevat ‘vliegende schotel’
Schilderij in middeleeuwse kerk in Roemenië bevat ‘vliegende schotel’
Toeristen die een oude kerk in de Roemeense stad Sighisoara in de regio Transsylvanië bezoeken zullen tot hun verbazing een afbeelding van een UFO zien op één van de muren. Dat meldt Romania Insider.
Het vreemde schilderij hangt aan een muur van de 13e-eeuwe Biserica Manastirii in de middeleeuwse citadel van Sighisoara. De kerk brandde in de 17e eeuw af en werd daarna weer opgebouwd. Vanaf dat moment verscheen er een aantal nieuwe schilderijen in de kerk. Op één van die schilderijen is een vreemd object te zien dat op een UFO lijkt.
UFO op schilderij (Catalina Borta)
“In de sacristie van de kerk bevindt zich inderdaad een schilderij met daarop een religieus tafereel dat een wolk voorstelt – mogelijk [profeet] Elia’s voorstelling van de hemel,” citeerde Agerpres directeur Nicolae Tescula van het historisch museum in Sighisoara. “Het object lijkt op een koepel, en kan mensen doen denken dat het een UFO is.”
Het schilderij is volgens Tescula gemaakt door een schilder uit Sighisoara. “Velen zeggen dat het een UFO is. Het lijkt op een UFO, het is de visie van de schilder. Ze lijken op de schilderijen van Leonardo da Vinci,” voegde hij toe.
De kerk, die precies in het midden van de middeleeuwse citadel is gelegen, is twee keer afgebrand. Om die reden bestaat het interieur uit verschillende stijlen. In de kerk ligt ook een grote verzameling oosterse gebedskleden, de op één na grootste verzameling van het land.
A Florida witness at Merritt Island reported watching a triangle UFO with rounded edges that moved and hovered as he and his children watched, according to testimony in Case 75839 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness felt compelled to create a model of the object after the 4 p.m. sighting on February 10, 2015. The case was reported to MUFON on April 15, 2016, and was investigated by Florida MUFON Chief Investigator John A. Gagnon and Field Investigator Diane Law, and closed as an Unknown.

“It was an overcast and cloudy day with a chance of showers,” the witness stated.“My four kids just got home from school and they were riding their bicycles as I was watching them and doing yard work. I stopped yard work, facing north, to watch the kids and one of my daughters, age 7, rode her bike up to me, stopped and asked me, ‘What’s that?’”
The witness said he looked westward and saw a black dot, just below the clouds heading eastward, and told her; ‘It’s a helicopter,’”
But as the witness went back to yard work. His daughter yelled out; ‘It’s a flying car!’”

He finally asked her where the object was, and she pointed up.
“As I looked and saw this object get closer, I could see that it wasn’t a helicopter! The object looked black in color, with wear, like it did a lot of traveling, and was rectangular in shape with rounded edges. There was a light, white in color, at each corner of the triangle, with what looked like a thruster in the center. It was traveling in a straight line, as it was slowly rotating, and didn’t made a sound.”
The witness told his daughter to keep her eyes on it while he retrieved binoculars from his truck on the driveway.
“As I looked through the binoculars, I could see that it had no numbers or letters on it and this was not a helicopter nor a plane. We do live near a very small airport with Cesenas flying in and out all the time.
“But it wasn’t a good day to fly due to the weather. And this object wasn’t a drone either. It didn’t have any propellers and it was flying too high. It flew eastward and suddenly changed direction and went back the other way! It flew then, westward, slowly rotating and then stopped, mid-point to where we first saw it. By then, I could see that it had a dome on top, as it had a smaller white light on top of it, too.”
The object hovered for a few seconds, while still rotating slowly, and then started spinning faster, just below the cloud line.
“As I looked at it, it started to look more like a saucer, as it was spinning. And then, there was like a flash, and the object shot straight up into the clouds!”

The witness said he felt like he was in a dream while looking at this object.
“From the distance and the height of this object, I would say that it had to be approximately 8 feet high and 40 to 50 feet wide. And maybe even the size of a two or three-bedroom home. My daughter and I saw this object for approximately two minutes. I made a model of it, out of ®Styrofoam, because I got a very good look at this object through my binoculars.”
“There have been a number of triangle sightings along the Space Coast for years,” Gagnon and Law wrote in their report.“The number of sightings seems to have increased recently. Not sure if they’re related to Patrick Air Force Base or maybe even Cape Canaveral.I believe the witnesses saw exactly what they claimed they saw – a triangle object moving slowly over their town, then spinning slowly. It then started spinning faster until it looked like a saucer. At that point there was a flash and the object shot straight up into the clouds and disappeared.This will have to show a case disposition of Unknown UAV.”

ROEMEENSE GENERAAL BEVESTIGT BESTAAN (BUITEN)AARDSE REPTIELEN (VIDEO)
ROEMEENSE GENERAAL BEVESTIGT BESTAAN (BUITEN)AARDSE REPTIELEN (VIDEO)
Een hooggeplaatste Roemeense generaal die eveneens optreedt als adviseur van de overheid aangaande vreemde en niet verklaarbare zaken, vertelt een bijzonder opmerkelijk verhaal.
Over een ontmoeting met twee buitenaardse reptielen op een ochtend vroeg bij een benzinepomp in de buurt van Boekarest.
Generaal Emil Strainu is een inmiddels gepensioneerde generaal uit het Roemeense leger die tijdens zijn actieve loopbaan hooggeplaatste functies vervulde.
Ook nu is hij nog heel actief en onder meer adviseur van de overheid op het gebied van onconventionele zaken en wat men noemt asymmetrische bedreigingen. Daarnaast is hij directeur van een onderzoekscentrum wat zich bezig houdt met UFO’s en oprichter van een vereniging voor onderzoek naar niet geïdentificeerde gebeurtenissen in het luchtruim en de ruimte.
Strainu heeft altijd gezegd dat (buiten)aardse reptielen bestaan en dat ze grote ondergrondse bases en steden op onze aarde hebben. Dat is echter alles wat hij over het onderwerp kwijt wil, want iedere keer zegt hij: “Meer dan dit ga ik niet zeggen over dit onderwerp”.
Nadat Strainu enkele boeken had gelezen van Aryan Hava nam hij contact op met haar om haar een uitzonderlijk verhaal te vertellen. De twee boeken die Strainu van haar had gelezen waren “Inuaki, the reptilian inside me” (deel 1 en 2). Toen Strainu contact op nam met haar stond ze op het punt haar derde boek uit te brengen, getiteld “Anunnaki vs Anunnaki”.
Het volgende verhaal van Strainu verscheen als voorwoord in dit derde boek:
Het verhaal dat Strainu vertelt, gaat over een goede vriend van hem die op een vroege ochtend twee buitenaardse reptielen zag in de Retezatbergen, een onderdeel van de Karpaten.
Zijn vriend is eveneens een hooggeplaatste legerofficier die we kolonel X zullen noemen. Deze kolonel reed op een ochtend terug van een korte kampeertrip die hij had gemaakt alleen in de bergen. Hij was op de terugweg naar Boekarest toen hij op de benzinemeter zag dat hij moest tanken.
Hij stopte bij een klein benzinestation op het platteland rond een uur of vijf in de ochtend. Er was dan ook helemaal niemand. Wel zag hij dat er een kaki gekleurde Hummer met geblindeerde ramen stond met draaiende motor, maar er was niemand te zien.
Het was een benzinestation waar je zelf kon tanken met je bankpas, dus nadat hij zijn tank had gevuld, liep hij terug naar zijn auto. Hij zag dat de deur aan de bestuurderskant van de Hummer openstond en binnenin de auto zag hij een reptielachtig wezen.
Het Reptiel had geen kleren aan, maar droeg militaire laarzen. Het was, net zoals een krokodil, helemaal bedekt met schubben en had een soort kam op zijn hoofd zoals een hagedis.
Het reptiel zag kolonel X en stapte uit de auto terwijl hij de kolonel strak aankeek. Hij gaf wat instructies aan iemand in de auto en keek daarbij nogal geïrriteerd. Toen stapte hij weer snel achter het stuur en reed weg. De auto had geen nummerbord aan de voor- of achterkant.
De kolonel schat het reptiel ongeveer op twee meter groot met gele kattenogen en eveneens eenzelfde soort pupil als een kat.
De kolonel keek om zich heen of er anderen waren die dit ook hadden gezien, maar hij was helemaal alleen. Toen zag hij de bewakingscamera bij het benzinestation.
Toen hij later de eigenaar te pakken kreeg, vertelde deze hem dat die camera er alleen zat voor decoratie, maar het niet deed.
De kolonel vervolgde tenslotte zijn weg richting Boekarest.
Een aantal kilometers verderop zag hij dezelfde Hummer langs de kant van de weg met alle vier de deuren geopend. Buiten de auto zag hij twee reptielen die met elkaar leken te bekvechten.
Het tweede reptiel was nog eens 20 centimeter groter dan de eerste. Deze droeg ook geen kleren, maar ook geen laarzen. Hij had hagedisachtige voeten en had in tegenstelling tot het eerste reptiel een staart.
Ondertussen reden er van beide kanten vrachtwagens voorbij en hij zag dat chauffeurs keken en wezen naar de reptielen, maar wel doorreden. De kolonel pakte zijn mobiel en maakte foto’s van de reptielen die hier weinig bezwaar tegen leken te hebben.
Na een paar minuten stapten de reptielen weer in de auto en reden met hoge snelheid terug in de richting waar ze vandaan waren gekomen. De kolonel nam snel nog enkele foto’s en reed toen verder richting Boekarest, waar hij onmiddellijk contact op nam met generaal Strainu.
Eenmaal terug in Boekarest keek hij samen met Strainu naar de mobiele telefoon waarop stond dat er elf foto’s waren genomen. Echter, alle elf beelden waren volledig groen. Ze namen contact op met de fabrikant van de telefoon, maar daar werden ze ook niet veel wijzer van. Het was alsof de kolonel een foto had genomen van een groen licht. Mogelijk de reden dat de reptielen niet zo bezorgd waren over de foto's die de man aan het nemen was van ze.
Ze zijn twee weken daarna bezig geweest met onderzoek en hebben ook geprobeerd andere getuigen te vinden. Helaas, alles tevergeefs.
De generaal concludeert aan het eind:
“Eén ding is zeker en dat is dat wij in een wereld leven waarvan wij denken dat we die kennen. We denken abusievelijk dat wij de meesters zijn in die wereld. We zijn in feite niets anders dan onderhuurders in transit op een planeet die nooit van ons is geweest en we hebben geen flauw idee wat ons werkelijke doel is”.
Als aanvulling op bovenstaande navolgend een interessante documentaire over Reptielen en Demonen:
One thing I often say is that if you want to see a UFO, then watch a dozen sunsets. The light bending around the cloak can only go 180 degrees, but when it has to go an extra 90 degrees during sunset...the clock malfunctions and is semi visible for a few seconds to a few minutes. Look at the diagram below I made. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: A Doncaster cabbie thought he was photographing a beautiful sunset - but now he thinks he caught a UFO. Jarnel Singh was walking home through Balby when he caught sight of the beautiful sunset. He took a number of pictures on his mobile phone to show to other people. But when he got home and showed his wife, he noticed a mysterious shape on the picture which he had not initially noticed - and now believes to be an unidentified flying object. He said: “I was just walking along Balby Road, and passing Westfield Park, when I thought how beautiful the sky looked. “It looked so nice that I thought I would take a photograph. I took one, took another a bit further along the road, and then took another one after that. “I went home, and I showed the pictures to my wife. She enlarged the photo, and she saw a dot there. I checked the other two, and it wasn’t on them. “It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane - I don’t know what it is.
There was something there I just can’t explain, and that I don’t recognise. “It is something out of the ordinary - I think that it’s a UFO. “It was silent, whatever it was, as I didn’t hear anything. “There may be life on other planets, I don’t know. “I’m open minded about UFOs - I suppose there is always the possibility. “But I do think I have seen something out of the ordinary. It’s in the distance, so I don’t think it can be a fly, and I think it is too big and too far away for it to be a drone.” Jarnel took his picture on Sunday May 8, at 8.07pm, his camera shows. n Do you think Jarnel’s picture is a UFO?

Dying Stars May Transform Frozen Worlds Into Havens for Life
Dying Stars May Transform Frozen Worlds Into Havens for Life
By Calla Cofield, Space.com Staff Writer
A red giant star will consume planets close to it, but leave others just right for life.

When most stars reach old age and begin to run out fuel, they swell up to hundreds of times their normal size, engulfing planets that orbit too close. But can planets that escape this fiery demise still support life? In this state, can planets around the dying star host life? New research says yes.
In about 7.5 billion years, the sun will have begun its march to the grave and will start expanding. Eventually it will swell to about 200 times its current size. It will swallow Mercury and Venus, and make Earth uninhabitable. But currently frigid locations in the solar system, like the icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter, might become just the right temperature for life.
Many stars in the universe become red giants, and some can remain that way for billions of years. The new work provides an in-depth look at how long planets can remain habitable around red giant stars — in some cases, for up to 9 billion years, which is twice Earth's current age. That's sufficiently long for life to form from scratch, or to flourish in a newer, more welcoming environment. It could also provide a lifeboat for humanity. [Video:Earth Will Be Consumed By a Red Giant Star]
When the sun expands into a red giant, it will overtake the current orbits of Mercury, Venus and Earth. The planets will move away from the star as it expands, allowing Earth to just barely escape being engulfed.

Crazy hot
Earth currently sits in the "habitable zone" of the sun — the distance at which the planet is warm enough to have liquid water on its surface, but not so hot that the water evaporates. (Liquid water is a requirement for all life on Earth, although the universe could very well serve up exceptions to this). This "just right" spot around a star is also sometimes called the "Goldilocks Zone."
The habitable zone is determined by the luminosity of a star — how much total light it emits over time. When most "normal" stars run out of hydrogen fuel, they start burning helium instead. Helium is a more potent fuel, and boosts the star's energy output at its core. As a result, the star swells up like bread in an oven, and becomes a "red giant."

A star's luminosity, or the total amount of light it emits in a given time, is largely responsible for defining the habitable zone. As a star swells up into a red giant, its luminosity increases. The sun's luminosity will increase by over 4,000 times when it becomes a red giant, the new research shows.
"The Earth [will become] a sizzling wasteland. The sun [will be] nearly at the Earth's orbit. It's going to be crazy hot," Lisa Kaltenegger, associate professor of astronomy and director of the Carl Sagan Institute, told Space.com. Kaltenegger is a co-author on the new research, which appears today (May 16) in the Astrophysical Journal.
But other places in the solar system will land in a less extreme temperature zone. The habitable zone of the sun will shift outward to include the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn, according to the new research.
This infographic shows where the sun's habitable zone will be when it turns into a red giant.

Under the thick icy layers on the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus and Jupiter's moon Europa, scientists think it's possible that life could exist in liquid water oceans. The discovery of microbial life living in extreme environments on Earth, like under layers of ice in Antarctica, have boosted this hypothesis.
The new research suggests that when the sun becomes a red giant, life on Europa and Enceladus could thaw out, and have a chance to thrive on a planet that would lie in the habitable zone, Kaltenegger said.
For a star like our sun, a planet could potentially sit in the new habitable zone for half a million years. While that might not be enough time on a distant planet, that could be enough time for life buried under the ice to emerge and evolve into something detectable by Earth-based telescopes, Kaltenegger said.
Around the most massive stars considered in the new work (those in the category "A5," which includes stars more massive than the sun, but not the most massive stars in the universe), a planet could potentially be in the "new" habitable zone for up to 200 million years. Big stars burn fast and bright, but small stars can smolder in the red giant phase for much longer. The new work shows that for small stars, a planet could sit in the red giant habitable zone for up to 9 billion years. If life can evolve on Earth in less than 4 billion years, why not on a planet around a red giant?
Kaltenegger said she and her co-author on the paper, Ramses M. Ramirez, a research associate at the Carl Sagan Institute, have submitted a second paper for publication, in which they provide a list of 23 red giant stars within 100 light-years of Earth — potential targets for planet hunters.
"I hope that this will actually spark an effort by people who look for planets, to also look at these old stars now," she said. "Because if you could find signatures of life on such an evolved planet — a de-frozen planet — that would tell you that (life) could get started subsurface, and that would be an amazing part of the story."
Earth to Be Consumed By Red Giant Star (In 5B Years)
Looking even further ahead, it could mean that humans could escape to the moons of Saturn or Jupiter when Earth becomes uninhabitable, she said.
"People keep saying, 'When our sun becomes a big hot star, then we have to move to Mars or other places.' But really for the first time, we have actually calculated where that place is and when," she said. "If you want to go planet-hopping, you'll want to know when you want to be where, and that's basically what we figured out."
The devil is in the details
This infographic illustrates how the habitable zone of a small red star will move out when the star expands into a red giant. Small stars remain in this phase of life longer than large stars, so planets in the "new" habitable zone can remain there for billions of years.

To determine where the habitable zone of a star will move to be as the star evolves into a red giant, Kaltenegger and Ramirez used models of stars and their evolution that already exist. This made it possible to compute a star's luminosity, as well as its temperature, which also influences the location of the habitable zone.
Planets that live in the habitable zone aren't necessarily habitable to life as we know it — Venus is just inside the sun's habitable zone, but its ultra-thick atmosphere traps heat on the surface and would likely make the planet uninhabitable, even inside the habitable zone. Still, looking for planets in the habitable zone is a good starting point in the search for life.
Kaltenegger and Ramirez knew that there was one variable in this entire calculation that could render the rest of the research moot — if the star, as it expands into a red giant, strips all nearby planets of their atmospheres.
"This is one of the things we didn't know," Kaltenegger said. In particular, she said the new work is the first time someone has shown whether or not rocky planets slightly less massive than the Earth and those slighty more massive than the Earth, could hold on to their atmospheres as their parent star evolves into a red giant.
Stars lose mass when they become red giants, and that mass gets blasted outward, as part of the so-called stellar wind. The new work shows that some planets will lose their atmospheres during the evolution — those located very close to the star, and those with low gravity (a planet's gravity helps it "hold on" to its atmosphere). But planets with sufficient mass, positioned a safe distance away, can maintain most of their atmosphere, Kaltenegger said.
There were other complicating factors that needed to be factored in, such as the fact that as the star loses mass, its gravitational grip on the planets is reduced. As a result, the orbit of a planet around a star will expand as the star becomes a red giant. (For this reason, the Earth will escape being engulfed by the sun, according to Kaltenegger).
Researchers have worked on the question of habitability around old stars before, but Kaltnenegger said no work has ever been done using models that can reveal details about how both the star and planets will evolve together through such a drastic change to the system.
"This is the first time where we link the model of the star to the model of the planet and see what it does," she said. "The devil is really in the details. The first stabs at it were great work because the idea got started, but it's a lot of work to do, and [Ramirez] actually hunkered down and did it."
NASA researchers discuss the best way to delve into the depths of Saturn's moon Titan in a new clip from the Science channel show "Space's Deepest Secrets."
The exclusive clip comes from the show's fourth episode, which airs Tuesday (May 17) at 10 p.m. EDT (9 p.m. CDT) on Science Channel. The episode explores liquids in the solar system and the ways researchers can learn about it — understanding the warm, wet environment of early Mars, probing the moonwide, ice-encrusted sea on Jupiter's moon Europa and more.
In the clip, exclusively released to Space.com today (May 16), researchers talk about designing a submarine to explore Titan: a moon of Saturn covered in seas of liquid methane and ethane. Without looking under those seas, the researchers said, how can we truly understand that moon?
"That first picture from anybody's submarine on the surface of a sea on another planet in our solar system changes the world," Michael Paul, director of Space Systems at Penn State University, said in the clip. "That's something that none of us have ever seen before — that's true discovery. That is why we do any of this. And that would be awesome. That first picture alone would make this entire mission worth it."
The researchers consider what they could find in those alien depths, searching for information and hoping for life — but not as we know it.
Editor's Note: This article has been corrected to reflect that the seas on Titan consist of liquid methane and ethane.
Humans on Mars: Scouting Needed for Red Planet Resources
Humans on Mars: Scouting Needed for Red Planet Resources

NASA's quest to put boots on Mars in the 2030s is advancing, bolstered by new studies about a multifunction, next-generation Mars orbiter and the best ways to use Red Planet resources to sustain astronaut pioneers.
Last year, scientists proposed nearly 50 locations on Mars as possible places for future human landings. Those landing-zone sites contain "regions of interest" that can be reached from primary touchdown spots.
Good touchdown sites will allow crews to land safely and carry out operations; offer a wealth of interesting science activities; and provide resources that the astronauts could use. For example, any favored exploration zone should allow expeditionary crews to tap into at least 100 metric tons (110 U.S. tons) of water, NASA officials have said.

With its suite of instruments and cameras — particularly the sharp-shooting High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) — NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is being put through a request process called "HiWish" to snag new images of landing-zone candidates."NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Directorate has begun to think about where human explorers should go on Mars, and what conditions and resources, as well as what science targets, may be present," said HiRISE principal investigator Alfred McEwen, director of the Planetary Image Research Lab at the University of Arizona in Tucson. "This is a sign that they are actually thinking about sending people to Mars." "Hopefully, this new interest in Mars will include support for future robotic missions needed to answer key questions," McEwen told Space.com.
Last year, scientists identified nearly 50 prospective human landing zones on Mars — locations that are safe, scientifically promising and resource-rich.

New Mars orbiter
Indeed, many experts within and outside NASA would like the agency to launch a multifunctional, next-generation Mars orbiter, the potential benefits of which were laid out in a report published in December by the Science Analysis Group of the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group.
NASA is considering launching a multifunctional, next-generation Mars orbiter sometime in the 2020s. Among other tasks, this spacecraft would scout out resources to help sustain human expeditionary crews.

This Mars orbiter could employ solar electric propulsion, carry advanced telecommunications gear and make use of powerful radar to scout out and better classify Martian resources for human landing parties. If approved, the spacecraft may be headed for Mars as early as 2022, NASA officials have said.
NASA has allocated funds to take some "very early preformulation" looks at a new Mars orbiter, said Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator of the Space Technology Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C. No mission is yet planned for 2022, he said, but a Mars telecommunications orbiter is under consideration, given the advanced age of some of NASA's current orbiters. (Mars Odyssey launched in 2001, for example, and MRO lifted off in 2005.)
"We use orbital assets at Mars for telecommunications relay from the surface … and they are getting a little long in the tooth," Jurczyk told Space.com.
Mission planners are thinking about adding a couple of technologies to a prospective Mars orbiter, Jurczyk said — perhaps high-power electric propulsion. Deep-space laser communications technology, which could boost bandwidth capabilities by a factor of 10 compared to standard radio-frequency hardware, might be on board as well,he added.
Pay dirt
Last month, NASA released the Mars Water In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Planning Study, which looked into how astronauts could tap into Red Planet water.
"There's an intuitive gut-level view," said Richard Davis, assistant director for science and exploration in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters. "Human beings in general don't go where there isn't water. That intuition is actually on the mark for Mars."
One small step — with big expectations to eventually homestead the Red Planet.

Water on Mars is transformative, and not just for drinking and growing crops, many experts believe. Processing the stuff can generate breathable oxygen and propellant for Mars ascent vehicles, among other things that could aid extended human stays on the Red Planet.
Davis, who worked on the ISRU report, said new data from orbit are needed to identify Martian resources that expeditionary crews could use. But orbital information by itself is probably not enough, he added.
"In the end, you need ground-truthing by sending a lander to what you think is the human landing site to validate [resource availability]," Davis said.
Water extraction
One resource option the report ruled out is the extraction of water from the thin Martian atmosphere.
Setting up a semi-permanent Mars base will require crop growth on the planet to sustain explorers far from Earth, experts say.

The mass, power, volume and mechanical complexity of the system needed for this approach are far beyond what is practical for deployment on the Red Planet, Davis said.
"The density of the water in the Martian atmosphere is so low, it would take a massive processing system," he said. "There's no way we can get there."
Water-rich minerals on Mars look far more promising, Davis said. "They require so much less power to actually free up the water molecules," he noted.
The idea of strip-mining Mars for subsurface ice deposits was reviewed in the study but got a thumbs-down, Davis said. A better approach, including to the report's authors, involves boring a hole down through the Martian dirt, vaporizing subsurface ice, bringing it up topside as a gas and then condensing that gas into liquid.
"You make the Martian environment work for us instead of against us," Davis said. "It looks very promising."
Resource feedstock
The new study is far from the last word on finding and using indigenous Martian resources, Davis said.
"For each resource feedstock on Mars that's validated, we need to understand the technology needed, the mass of the equipment required and the power it will take," he said.
Once a semi-permanent base on Mars is established, crews would set up ISRU equipment, make sure all the kinks in the gear are smoothed out and then start harvesting resources. ISRU hardware would also operate in autonomous mode when there were no humans at the base, Davis said.
"You don't achieve sustainability on Mars overnight. You grow to it," Davis said. "This is not a technical problem. Yes, there are technical issues. But it is a belief problem. If people believe it's achievable, then it will be achievable."

“You know, there’s a new name,” Mrs. Clinton said in the March appearance. “It’s unexplained aerial phenomenon,” she said. “U.A.P. That’s the latest nomenclature.”
Known for her grasp of policy, Mrs. Clinton has spoken at length in her presidential campaign on topics as diverse as Alzheimer’s research and military tensions in the South China Sea. But it is her unusual knowledge about extraterrestrials that has struck a small but committed cohort of voters.
Mrs. Clinton has vowed that barring any threats to national security, she would open up government files on the subject, a shift from President Obama, who typically dismisses the topic as a joke. Her position has elated U.F.O. enthusiasts, who have declared Mrs. Clinton the first “E.T. candidate.”
“Hillary has embraced this issue with an absolutely unprecedented level of interest in American politics,” said Joseph G. Buchman, who has spent decades calling for government transparency about extraterrestrials.
Mrs. Clinton, a cautious candidate who often bemoans being the subject of Republican conspiracy theories, has shown surprising ease plunging into the discussion of the possibility of extraterrestrial beings.
She has said in recent interviews that as president she would release information about Area 51, the remote Air Force base in Nevada believed by some to be a secret hub where the government stores classified information about aliens and U.F.O.s.
In a radio interview last month, she said, “I want to open the files as much as we can.” Asked if she believed in U.F.O.s, Mrs. Clinton said: “I don’t know. I want to see what the information shows.” But she added, “There’s enough stories out there that I don’t think everybody is just sitting in their kitchen making them up.”
When asked about extraterrestrials in an interview with The Conway Daily Sun in New Hampshire last year, Mrs. Clinton promised to “get to the bottom of it.”
“I think we may have been” visited already, she said in the interview. “We don’t know for sure.”
While Americans typically point to issues like the economy and terrorism as top priorities for the next president, a desire for answers about aliens has inspired a passionate bloc of voters, who make their voices heard on social media.
Stephen Bassett, who lobbies the government on extraterrestrial issues, views a Clinton presidency as a chance to finally get the United States to disclose all it knows about life beyond Earth. Since November 2014, Mr. Bassett’s organization has sent roughly 2.5 million Twitter messages to presidential candidates, elected officials and the news media urging a serious discussion of the issue.
“That was a storm, and now it’s like a steady drip,” Mr. Bassett said.
The movement viewed Mrs. Clinton’s decision to correct Mr. Kimmel’s use of the term U.F.O., which some view as loaded and rooted more in science fiction than in science, as a breakthrough because it “suggested she’d been briefed by someone and is not just being flippant,” Mr. Buchman said.
In fact, Mrs. Clinton had been briefed. She was prepped by her campaign chairman, John D. Podesta, who is not only a well-respected Washington hand, having served as a top adviser to Mr. Obama and President Bill Clinton, but also a crusader for the disclosure of government information on unexplained phenomena that could prove the existence of intelligent life outside Earth.

“The time to pull back the curtain on the topic is long overdue,” Mr. Podesta wrote in his foreword for the 2010 book “UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record,” by Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist.
Mrs. Clinton’s position is not a political response to public sentiment — 63 percent of Americans do not believe in U.F.O.s, according to an Associated Press poll. But it reflects the decades of overlap between the rise to power of Bill and Hillary Clinton and popular culture’s obsession with the universe’s most mysterious questions.
In 1996, Mrs. Clinton was ridiculed after Bob Woodward reported, in his book “The Choice,” that as first lady she had held discussions with her deceased role models, Eleanor Roosevelt and Mohandas K. Gandhi. The tabloid Weekly World News dreamed up sensational headlines about Mrs. Clinton’s adopting an alien baby and having a “U.F.O. love nest.”
The Clinton presidency also coincided with the hit television series “The X-Files” and movies like “Independence Day,” which gave way to an era of fascination with the existence of aliens and the possibility of a government cover-up.
Mr. Podesta, an “X-Files” fanatic, ran a fan club for the show in the Clinton White House. “The ‘X-Files’ fan club would like to invite you and Mulder to lunch at the White House. Don’t let the boss know,” he wrote in a 1998 email, referring to the show’s fictional F.B.I. agent Fox Mulder, according to White House documents. In 1999, Mr. Podesta had an “X-Files”-themed 50th birthday party that the Clintons attended.
When Mr. Podesta left the White House last year, he posted on Twitter: “Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the U.F.O. files. #thetruthisstilloutthere.”
Mr. Podesta declined to comment for this article.
Mrs. Clinton, who speaks frequently about her childhood aspirations to be a NASA astronaut, has been sympathetic to Mr. Podesta’s efforts.

In 1995, when she was photographed visiting Laurance S. Rockefeller, a billionaire philanthropist, in Jackson Hole, Wyo., she had tucked under her arm a copy of “Are We Alone?: Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life,” by Paul Davies.
Before that meeting, John H. Gibbons, the former director of the White House Office’s of Science and Technology Policy, had warned Mrs. Clinton about Mr. Rockefeller, who had spent years pressuring the government to release files relating to a 1947 crash near Roswell, N.M., that had become the source of theories about a cover-up of an alien spaceship.
He will “want to talk to you about his interest in extrasensory perception, paranormal phenomena and U.F.O.s,” Mr. Gibbons wrote.
The meeting enthralled conspiracy theorists and, in turn, inspired Hollywood writers.
“If you look at our mythology, there are elements of those kinds of meetings,” Chris Carter, the creator and executive producer of “The X-Files,’’ said in an interview. Mr. Carter, who is supporting Mrs. Clinton, added, “If I have to become a fund-raiser to get an invite to her opening up the files, I’ll do it.”
When Mrs. Clinton started to talk openly about U.F.O.s and government disclosure in her 2016 campaign, some activists traced the remarks back to the 1995 meeting with Mr. Rockefeller.
To this subset of Americans who say the government is covering up what it knows about aliens, and who are incredibly vocal on social media, Mrs. Clinton’s discussion of extraterrestrials signaled an important turn.
Other activists do not care as much about Mrs. Clinton’s vow to “open the files,” but do want prominent politicians to seriously acknowledge that humans may not be the only intelligent life in the universe. A major victory, some say, would be for the candidates to be asked about the topic in a presidential debate.
“It shouldn’t be a source of embarrassment to discuss it,” said Christopher Mellon, a former intelligence official at the Defense Department and the Senate Intelligence Committee. “We should be humble in terms of recognizing the extreme limits of our own understanding of physics and the universe.”

Harvard Scientists Hold Secret Meeting Aimed at Creating a Synthetic Human Genome
Harvard Scientists Hold Secret Meeting Aimed at Creating a Synthetic Human Genome
On Tuesday, May 10th more than one hundred scientists, lawyers, and business leaders met to discuss the creation of a synthetic human genome. Journalists were not permitted to attend the event.
Sixty trays can contain the entire human genome as 23,040 different fragments of cloned DNA.

SECRECY BREEDS SUSPICION
Recently, a project called the Human Genome Project 2 (HGP2) was organized by Harvard University. Their mission? To synthesize the full human genome from synthetic materials. They held a closed-door conference on May 10th to discuss the feasibility of this task.
To clarify, the meeting was originally organised in order to “synthesise a complete human genome in a cell line within a period of 10 years” and determine the “deliverables and industry involvement” needed in order to make this happen. From there, the goal of the project is to replace the existing genome within a human cell with the synthetic one.
As you can guess, the talks have caused a bit of a controversy, and the situation was made rather worse because the conference was all behind closed doors—no media coverage was allowed and participants were not allowed to Tweet during the discussion.
This has raised suspicions, and a number of experts in the field object to the secretive nature of the talks given the (what some consider to be) significant ethical implications of working on human DNA.
Would it be okay, for example, to sequence and then synthesize Einstein’s genome? If so, how many Einstein genomes should be made and installed in cells, and who would get to make them?
Drew Endy, a bioengineer at Stanford, and Laurie Zoloth, a bioethicist at Northwestern University, are very outspoken in their opposition to the project. They assert, “while we strongly agree that sustained improvements in DNA construction tools are essential for advancing basic biological science and improving public health, we are skeptical that synthesising a human genome is an appropriate demand driver.”
They continue by pointing out that the medical developments HGP2 aims to attain can be achieved through other means, making the project unnecessary (and unnecessarily risky).
Yet, one of the events primary organizers, George Church, a Genetic professor at Harvard Medical School, points out that they simply didn’t want any publicity because the paper related to the talk is under review for publication, and the scientists behind the work can’t publicly discuss it until after review.
But others remain unconvinced.
“Would it be okay, for example, to sequence and then synthesize Einstein’s genome?” Endy and Zoloth continue. “If so, how many Einstein genomes should be made and installed in cells, and who would get to make them?”

THEY CAN, BUT SHOULD THEY BE ALLOWED TO?
The issue is not a question of feasibility. It is not a matter of whether or not it’s possible to “synthesise a complete human genome in a cell line within a period of 10 years.” It’s more a question of whether they should be allowed to carry on with the project.
To be clear, this is a far cry from something like cloning, as they do not need any DNA source. Rather, they would use chemicals to synthesize all three billion units in the DNA sequence from scratch and create individual cells with it. And while this development would be a long ways from creating a fully lab-generated human, it could pioneer developments that, some assert, may be a cause for concern.
As of today, the laws governing genomics and regulations to protect against its misuse are not concrete or universal, which is precisely why this talk is getting such attention. It has served as a kind of locus—a center point that brings together a host of ongoing conversations, serving as a kind of ‘rally’ for those invested in this debate.
And ultimately, these conversations are important. While such work could prove advantageous in developing treatments, allowing us to do away with diseases like cerebral palsy or diabetes, in the wrong hands, such powerful technology could lead to catastrophe, such as in biological warfare.
Ultimately, the potential should inspire us, but the risk should give us pause. Science must advance, but it must do so with informed decision making.

IN BRIEF
A team of astronomers have recently found a star system where four gas giants have been locked in a resonance for more than 6 billion years. Kepler-223 has four planets hose orbits around the star follow a simple-integer ratio.
LOCKED IN A DANCE
NASA’s Kepler mission has revealed that many planets in our universe could be candidates for harboring life. We have seen planets that inhabit the habitable zones of their star systems, and examples of planets that mimic many of Earth’s qualities. But while its main mission is to find alien worlds that could possibly support life, it has also revealed systems with strange and quirky properties.
Speaking of strange, a team of astronomers have recently found a star system where four gas giants have been locked in a resonance for more than 6 billion years. It means that for that whole period of time, their orbital periods have been related to each other in small-integer ratios.
In layman’s terms, resonance means that in a hypothetical system, when one planet orbits the star once, the other has gone around twice.
For the system Kepler-223, four planets, Kepler-223 b, c, d, and e, have been locked in this resonance. Kepler-223 b and c – the system’s two innermost planets – are in a 4:3 resonance. Kepler-223 c and d are in a 3:2 resonance. And Kepler-223 d and e are in a 4:3 resonance.
THEORIES

Astronomers have found systems with two or three planets in resonance, but four planets is a first.
To find the system, the astronomers first determined the precise size of the star. Then they used brightness data from the Kepler telescope to analyze how the four planets block the starlight and change each other’s orbits, thus inferring the planets’ sizes and masses.
All of this was for the precise goal of finding out exactly how and where planets form. It is hypothesized that most solar systems start out with planets with resonances, but asteroids and small planets knock them out of resonance as time passes by.
It is theorized that this happened to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—being knocked out of resonances that mirror that of Kepler-223.
Hillary Clinton promet d'ouvrir les Dossiers Secrets sur les Extra-Terrestres pour Sauver sa Tête !
Filibert : Après les promesses de Donald Trump de révéler la vérité sur les Attentats du 11 septembre 2001, Hilary Clinton promet de tout dire sur les Extra-Terrestres, ou presque ! Si Trump veut que la vérité soit dite, Hilary ne pense qu'à sauver sa tête en obéissant aux Chapeaux Blancs (ou Forces de la Lumière) qui possède des dossiers très compromettants sur elle, c'est pas par plaisir qu'elle se lance dans les Divulgations gardées secrètes par l'Élite !
Hillary Cinton a-t-elle trop regardé E.T ou s’attaque-t-elle à un sujet essentiel trop pris à la légère ? A côté de ses promesses de campagne sur l’immigration et le chômage, une drôle de proposition figure sur la liste. La candidate aux présidentielles américaines propose aux Américains d’élucider le mystère des ovnis. Non, ce n’est pas une blague. Hillary Clinton se démarque des autres candidats aux présidentielles américaines en proposant une mesure inédite dans l’histoire… extraterrestre. Les fans d’ovnis sont conquis : l’ex-Secrétaire d’État a promis qu’elle ouvrirait au public les fichiers concernant l’existence d’extraterrestres et leurs possibles visites sur Terre.
Parmi ces informations qui seront divulguées en cas d’élection de la candidate démocrate, des révélations sur la zone 51 situé dans le Nevada seraient aussi publiées : cette base militaire abriterait selon certains contes modernes des Aliens et ovnis de toute sorte. Tout est à prendre lorsqu’il s’agit de gagner des voix et Hillary Clinton a décidé que les fans d’ovnis ne lui échapperaient pas. Même si la promesse semble loufoque au premier abord, elle est en fait toute réfléchie. Selon un étude américaine réalisée en 2012, 80 millions d’Américains croient en l’existence des petits hommes verts, soit l’équivalent d’un électeur sur trois.
Surnommée la “candidate E.T” par ceux qui la soutiennent dans son entreprise, la femme politique n’est pas la première à évoquer ce sujet de manière très sérieuse. De nombreux anciens présidents américains ont déjà évoqué leur intérêt pour le sujet. Ronald Reagan et Bill Clinton ont déjà publiquement affirmé qu’il croyait en une existence extraterrestre, tandis que Jimmy Carter a lui assuré qu’il avait déjà été le témoin de ce phénomène surnaturel alors qu’il était gouverneur de l’État de Géorgie. Conseillée par un certain John Podesta, fan de la série X-files et actif militant de la publication des fichiers sur les ovnis, Hillary Cinton a elle eu, le courage – ou plutôt le culot – de faire des extraterrestres une promesse électorale.

Des neutrons pour chercher des univers parallèles
Des neutrons pour chercher des univers parallèles
Selon certains physiciens, un univers parallèle autoriserait certaines particules à sortir de notre univers pour y rentrer à nouveau. Des neutrons pourraient ainsi jouer les passe-murailles. L’idée a été testée avec le réacteur nucléaire de l’institut Laue Langevin à Grenoble.
Quand la première révolution de la théorie des supercordes est arrivée au milieu des années 1980 grâce à Michael Green et John Schwarz, un fait curieux a intrigué certains physiciens. La version la plus prometteuse de la théorie reposait sur le produit de deux groupes de symétries identiques, à savoir E8 par E8. Chacun de ces groupes de Lie contient comme sous-groupes ceux du modèle standard, ce qui a permis de spéculer sur l’existence d’une sorte de second monde miroir du nôtre qui ne l’influencerait qu’au niveau de la gravité.
En effet, aucune des particules des deux mondes ne semblait pouvoir passer de l’un à l’autre, sauf, peut-être, les gravitons, ce qui donnait une solution élégante au problème de la massemanquante. La matière noire que l’on commençait à considérer sérieusement faisait peut-être partie de cet autre univers parallèle.
La seconde théorie des cordes, apparue au milieu des années 1990, a considérablement stimulé les théoriciens en leur permettant d’élaborer des scénarios compliqués et variés de mondes parallèles à l’aide des dimensions spatiales supplémentaires de la théorie des cordes ou de la théorie de la supergravité de Kaluza-Klein. L’idée que notre univers, et d’autres, était l’équivalent d’une feuille flottant dans l’espace a permis d’imager le concept d’univers membrane en 3D plongé dans un espace en 4 voire 10 dimensions.
Là aussi, des mécanismes décrits par la théorie des cordes pouvaient expliquer pourquoi les particules du modèle standard semblaient confiner à notre univers-membrane, un peu à la façon dont les quarks et les gluons sont confinés dans les hadrons en théorie quantique des champs. Une autre approche d’unification de la physique, la géométrie non commutative d’Alain Connes postule, elle aussi, pour expliquer l’existence du champ de Brout-Englert-Higgs, une sorte de deuxième feuillet d’univers dédoublant le nôtre.
Mais comment tester de telles spéculations débridées des théoriciens ? On a espéré à la fin des années 1990 que plusieurs de ces théories incluant des dimensions spatiales supplémentaires modifiaient nos idées sur la fameuse masse de Planck, le niveau d’énergie où la gravitationquantique et l’unification de toutes les forces se manifestent le plus clairement. On pouvait peut-être sonder ces théories à des énergies accessibles au LHC alors que l’on pensait avant qu’un collisionneur de la taille de la Voie lactée était nécessaire. Il semble malheureusement qu’il n’en soit pas le cas. Bien que rien ne soit certain, n’existerait-il pas malgré tout des phénomènes à basses énergies que l’on pourrait observer et qui donneraient du poids à l’hypothèse que notre univers soit une sorte de membrane ?
Plusieurs chercheurs le pensent, particulièrement en France et en Belgique. C’est ainsi qu’au début des années 2010, Michaël Sarrazin, Fabrice Petit et leurs collègues ont commencé à envisager que par effet tunnel quantique, certaines particules du modèle standard, en l’occurrence desneutrons, pouvaient parfois sauter d’une membrane à une autre si leur distance n’est pas trop importante et si notre univers est en fait formé de deux membranes proches dans un espace plus grand baptisé le « bulk ». On trouve une hypothèse similaire dans le fameux modèle de Randall-Sundrum à la base du scénario d'Interstellar.
Ces sauts seraient rares ce qui expliquerait pourquoi ils restent inobservables dans la vie de tous les jours et au laboratoire. Mais selon les chercheurs, ils pourraient malgré tout être mis en évidence de la façon suivante. On commencerait par utiliser une source de neutrons comme celle disponible à Grenoble à l’institut Laue-Langevin. Un flux de ces neutrons serait enfermé dans un bloc de béton de sorte qu’un détecteur placé à l’extérieur, convenablement calibré pour ne pas tenir compte du flux de neutrons naturel, ne devrait pas pouvoir détecter ceux produits par la source intense à proximité.
Mais si les sauts quantiques entre univers-membrane sont réels, certains neutrons de la source pourraient sortir de notre univers, voyager dans le second puis revenir dans le nôtre de sorte que le détecteur devrait voir un flux anormal de neutrons. L’intensité de ce flux étant reliée à la distance séparant les deux membranes, on aurait de cette façon un moyen de la mesurer.
Les chercheurs ont réalisé cette expérience et ils viennent d’exposer les résultats obtenus dans un article que l’on peut trouver sur arXiv. Pour le moment ils sont négatifs.
The US investor Christopher Mellon worked 20 years for the federal government and according to him there are plenty of well-documented UFO sightings to establish a scientific research. There are enough data, reports by credible witnesses, videos made by trained soldiers and police officers and radar images. Christopher Mellon has now for the first time openly expressed about the information the government has about UFOs. There were some incidents involving UFOs when Mellon worked for the government. A Navy pilot phoned him one day to say that a UFO circling a fighter. The Navy did as far as he knew no further investigation.
In addition, the radar captured four or five bright UFOs in the evening sky. Everyone was puzzled, says Mellon. No government employee showed some interest, even after the images were shown during the TV program Nightline. “It was the complete lack of scientific curiosity because of political correctness,” he said highly frustrated. Mr. Mellon was particularly impressed by the UFO sighting in November 1989 in Belgium, when 13 policemen and hundreds of other witnesses saw two triangular craft above the land. The Belgian Air Force launched an investigation, worked with a group of scientists and consulted with the US and NATO countries, but could give no clear explanation.
And on March 30, 1993 more than 100 witnesses, including policemen and soldiers saw a triangular craft above England. The object was able to shoot away from standstill. The British Ministry of Defense concluded that “an unidentified object (or objects) whose origin was unknown was operating over the UK.” Mellon stresses that these objects were not owned by the US Department of Defense. He adds that the US military does not test new vessels over densely populated areas. Furthermore, he noted that the military is generally unwilling to investigate UFO reports, even if they come from military pilots or senior officials, such as former governor of Arizona Fyfe Symington.
About Hillary Clinton’s promises to declassify UFO files, Mellon does not think Hillary Clinton will gain access to secret government programs on UFOs, if she becomes president. “I remember instances where employees of the White House could not get access to secret programs of the Ministry of Defense. People like Clinton years may hold high positions without ever accessing secret programs of the Ministry, which mostly deal with new weapons. ”
If Clinton wants to find out the UFO topic to the bottom, the best she can do is reaching out to NORAD, the military organization that oversees the US airspace, and let them do the research.
Senator Barry Goldwater Admitted Government UFO Cover-Up
Senator Barry Goldwater Admitted Government UFO Cover-Up
Former Senator Barry Goldwater had made it known to the public his fascination about the UFO issue throughout his life and career. His notable comments and observations on the topic involved several attempts to dig deeply on the rumors of a UFO secretly held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton in Ohio. The secret location then eventually called the Hangar 18 or the Blue Room.
Goldwater wrote UFO researcher Shlomo Arnon telling that the UFO subject has interested him for many years. He had also made known about his effort to determine what was at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, but he was denied his request to know the information about it.
Larry King Live heavily featured the subject of UFOs in more than a few occasions. In 1994, the show guested no other than Goldwater himself. During the interview, Goldwater told King that one could find out what the Air Force and the government knew about UFOs at Wright-Patterson.
Goldwater said that he called General Curtis LeMay and stated that he (Goldwater) knew about a room at Wright-Patterson where they put all secret stuff and asked the General if he could go in. However, the General reportedly got mad at him and told him never to ask the same question again.
Technologically advanced aliens were apparently beating NASA to the moon as UFO hunters claim to have discovered what they considered indisputable evidence of extraterrestrials. Recently, one UFO hunter found and shared an old NASA image from the Apollo 8 mission in 1968.
The still image apparently shows a bizarre triangle UFO parked on the Moon’s surface. It happened to be the last of a sequence of black and white images taken using a 70 mm camera on December 1968 mission.
The team claimed to have secured the image from an unnamed source. However, identical image can be viewed on the website of Lunar and Planetary Institute, a NASA affiliate.
The object appears to cast a shadow on the surface of the Moon, seemingly confirms that it is a solid three-dimensional thing.
The UFO hunters suggest the image proves that members of Apollo 8 crew are not the first to make it to the moon.
Glockner explained that the image they obtained was basically the last in the film magazine shot during the Apollo 8 lunar mission. He said the photo showed something massive either over or on the moon.
Glockner reportedly went back to the Apollo Image Atlas, examined all previous frames, and found nothing ordinary on them except in frame 2908, which seemed to show a massive triangular-shaped object on or over the lunar surface.
Skeptics suggested that it might have been a glitch or image artifact resulting from pixelation errors. However, Glockner pointed out that no such thing as pixelation issue in pictures taken with film as it can only happen in digital images.
Another suggestion from skeptics was that it could have been a speck on the lens or perhaps damage to the film frame.
Boriska, A Boy From Mars Says That ALL Humans Live Eternally And “People Like Us Still Live On Mar
Boriska, A Boy From Mars Says That ALL Humans Live Eternally And “People Like Us Still Live On Mars”
A boy named Boris Kipriyanovich, or Boriska, lives in the town of Zhirinovsk of Russia’s Volgograd region. He was born on January 11, 1996. Since he was 4 he used to visit a well-known anomalous zone, commonly referred to as Medvedetskaya Gryada – a mountain near the town. It seems that the boy needed to visit the zone regularly to fulfill his needs in energy.
Boriska’s parents, nice, educated and hospitable people, are worried about their son’s fascinating talents. They do not know how others will perceive Boriska when he grows up. The say that they would be happy to consult an expert to know how to raise their wunderkind.
Being a doctor, his mother could not help but notice that the baby boy could hold his head already in 15 days after his birth. He uttered the first word ‘baba’ when he was 4 months old and started to pronounce simple words soon afterwards. At one year and a half he had no difficulties in reading newspaper headlines. At age of two years he started drawing and leaned how to paint six months later. When he turned two, he started going to a local kindergarten. Tutors immediately noticed the unusual boy, his uncommon quickwittedness, language skills and unique memory.
However, his parents witnessed that Boriska acquired knowledge not only from the outer world, but through mysterious channels as well. They saw him reading unknown information from somewhere.
“No one has ever taught him,” Boriska’s mother said. “Sometimes he would sit in a lotus position and start telling us detailed facts about Mars, planetary systems and other civilizations, which really puzzled us,” the woman said.
How may a little boy know such things? Space became the permanent theme of his stories when the boy turned two years old. Once he said that he used to live on Mars himself. He says that the planet is inhabited now too, although it lost its atmosphere after a mammoth catastrophe. The Martians live in underground cities, Boriska says.
The boy also says that, he used to fly to Earth for research purposes when he was a Martian. Moreover, he piloted a spaceship himself. It took place in the time of the Lemurian civilization. He speaks about the fall of Lemuria as if it occurred yesterday. He says that Lemurians died because they ceased to develop themselves spiritually and broke the unity of their planet.
When his mother brought him a book entitled “Whom We Are Originated From” by Ernest Muldashev, he got very excited about it. He spent a long time looking through the sketches of Lemurians, pictures of Tibetan pagodas, and then he told his parents of Lemurians and their culture for several hours non-stop. As he was talking, his mother noticed that Lemurians lived 70,000 years ago and they were nine meters tall… “How can you remember all this?” the woman asked her son. “Yes, I remember and nobody has told me that, I saw it,” Boriska replied.
In Muldashev’s second book “In Search of the City of Gods” he looked through pictures for a long time and recollected a lot about pyramids and shrines. Then he claimed that people would not find ancient knowledge under the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The knowledge will be found under another pyramid, which has not been discovered yet. “The human life will change when the Sphinx is opened, it has an opening mechanism somewhere behind the ear, I do not remember exactly,” he said.
Boriska is one of so-called indigo children. They start to appear on Earth as a token of the forthcoming grand transformation of the planet.
“No, I have no fear of death, for we live eternally. There was a catastrophe on Mars where I lived. People like us still live there. There was a nuclear war between them. Everything burnt down. Only some of them survived. They built shelters and created new weapons. All materials changed. Martians mostly breathe carbon dioxide. If they flew to our planet now, they would have to spend all the time standing next to pipes and breathing in fumes,” Boriska said.
“If you are from Mars, do you need carbon dioxide?”
“If I am in this body, I breathe oxygen. But you know, it causes aging.”
Specialists asked the boy why man-made spacecraft often crash as they approach Mars. “Martians transmit special signals to destroy stations containing harmful radiation,” Boriska replied.
The boy has deep knowledge of space and its dimensions. He is also aware of the structure of interplanetary UFOs. He talks about that like an expert, draws UFOs on slates and explains the way they work. Here is one of his stories: “It has six layers. The upper layer of solid metal accounts for 25 percent, the second layer of rubber – 30 percent, the third layer of metal – 30 percent, and the last layer with magnetic properties – 4 percent. If we give energy to the magnetic layer, spaceships will be able to fly across the Universe.”
Boriska has a lot of difficulties with school. After an interview he was taken to the second grade, but soon they tried to get rid of him. He constantly interrupts teachers and says that they are wrong… now the boy has classes with a private tutor.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE FULL VIDEO OF BORISKA, A BOY FROM MARS:
A diver has discovered what appears to be an ancient sunken city off Mafia Island in Tanzania. Diver Alan Sutton, from Seaunseen, had originally been looking for the remains of an old fort rumoured to have been washed away to sea, but instead he came across the remains of a wall stretching almost 4km.
"It was jaw dropping," he told IBTimes UK. "It's difficult to explain what it's like to find something like that. I wasn't expecting anything that large, I was expecting an old Portuguese fort and then found something much larger."
The discovery is detailed in a blog post by Sutton, with images showing remnants of the wall. Mafia Island is a small sand island. After flying over in a helicopter, he noticed an "unusually shaped formation in the water". The spot the formation is located in is remote and difficult to access. The location is particularly noted for its murky waters: "Because of the tidal movements and relatively shallow depth, visibility in the area is not good. This is almost certainly why the structures have not been spotted before," he wrote.
Alan Sutton/Seaunseen
However, Sutton and a colleague eventually managed to visit on a low spring tide armed with boats and diving equipment. They were able to photograph and examine areas normally submerged, as well as diving down to see other areas still underwater.
They found a series of what looked like foundations circling a large area. Large oblong blocks up to 5m by 5m stretched along the foundation. The northern and southern foundations run around 3.7km in length – although they think more could be lying undiscovered, covered by sand. It was around 1km at the widest point, while the foundations were up to 10 to 20 metres in depth.
Sutton said the blocks resembled sandstone, but on closer inspection he thinks they are probably made from "some type of cement". "Some of the blocks also have small perfectly square holes in them as well as oblong holes in them near the edges. There are no sandstone deposits known in the area. The logistics of transporting the blocks to the area would have been formidable," he wrote.
Alan Sutton/Seaunseen
As the site is yet to be visited by scientists or archaeologists, its age is not known. However, Sutton points out coral growth near blocks would indicate they have been underwater for at least 550 years. "The site is very large, certainly the size of a city and is definitely man-made and very old," he wrote. "It seems very old and to have been extremely well-constructed, in a fashion unlike the architecture of other ruins in Tanzania and doubtless the site will keep archaeologists busy for many years. Without a large amount of research it is impossible to say exactly what the site is. It however appears to be a very old harbour city."
Why it sank beneath the sea is not known, although a number of possibilities are highlighted. This includes sea level rise, erosion and seismic activity. Sutton has reported the find to Mafia Island authorities and told IBTimes UK he will be visiting the site with archaeologist Felix Chami, from the University of Dar es Salaam later this month.
He has seen pictures taken by Sutton and said it was highly unusual - "enough to want to see for himself", Sutton said. "I suppose there will be lots of things he will look for. I saw a lot of square holes in the blocks which apparently is an ancient construction technique ... he's saying it's very old."

‘Afrikaans Atlantis': Duiker ontdekt verzonken stad voor kust Tanzania
‘Afrikaans Atlantis': Duiker ontdekt verzonken stad voor kust Tanzania
Een duiker heeft voor de kust van Tanzania een verzonken stad ontdekt. Alan Sutton was in de buurt van het eiland Mafia op zoek naar een oud fort, toen hij plotseling op de resten van een vier kilometer lange muur stuitte.
“Mijn mond viel open van verbazing,” vertelde Sutton aan IBTimes UK. “Ik had nooit verwacht dat het zo groot zou zijn. Ik verwachtte een oud Portugees fort, maar vond iets veel groters.”
De duiker heeft op zijn blog uitvoerig over zijn ontdekking geschreven. Toen hij per helikopter over het eiland vloog zag hij een vreemd gevormde formatie in het water. Samen met een collega wist hij bepaalde gebieden te fotograferen en te verkennen die normaal gesproken onder water liggen.
Cement
Het tweetal vond onder meer funderingen rond een groot gebied. Langs de fundering lagen grote langwerpige blokken van vijf bij vijf meter. De noordelijke en zuidelijke funderingen zijn 3,7 kilometer lang, hoewel er waarschijnlijk nog veel meer verborgen ligt onder het zand.
Sutton zei dat de blokken waarschijnlijk zijn gemaakt van een soort cement. Sommige blokken zijn voorzien van kleine gaten langs de rand. Omdat de vindplaats nog niet is bezocht door wetenschappers of archeologen, is er nog niets bekend over de ouderdom.
Hoogst ongewone vondst
De resten zijn zeker door mensen gemaakt en zeer oud, aldus Sutton. Ook lijken ze in niets op andere ruïnes die in Tanzania zijn gevonden. “Deze vindplaats zal archeologen ongetwijfeld vele jaren bezighouden,” zei hij, toevoegende dat het waarschijnlijk gaat om een zeer oude havenstad.
Sutton heeft de vondst gemeld bij de autoriteiten en zal de plek later deze maand bezoeken met archeoloog Felix Chami van de Universiteit van Dar es Salaam. Chami heeft foto’s van de plek gezien en zei dat het gaat om een hoogst ongewone vondst.
'Sneeuwwitje' is mogelijk de derde grootste dwergplaneet van ons zonnestelsel
'Sneeuwwitje' is mogelijk de derde grootste dwergplaneet van ons zonnestelsel
Tim Kraaijvanger
Astronomen beweren dat de planetoïde 2007 OR10 groter is dan eerder berekend en eigenlijk de titel ‘dwergplaneet’ verdient. Het object – dat in de wandelgangen ‘Sneeuwwitje’ wordt genoemd – heeft een diameter van 1.535 kilometer en dat is ruim honderd kilometer groter dan dwergplaneet Makemake.
Nieuwe metingen van de Herschel-telescoop en de Kepler-ruimtetelescoop wijzen uit dat 2007 OR10 forser is dan verwacht. Eerder dachten wetenschappers dat de diameter van het transneptunisch object zo’n 1.200 kilometer was.
Vanwaar deze vergissing? Kort na de ontdekking in 2007 gingen astronomen ervan uit dat 2007 OR10 een oppervlak zo wit als sneeuw had. Aangezien het object als zevende dwerg is ontdekt, leek ‘Sneeuwwitje’ een goede tijdelijke naam voor dit hemellichaam.
HEEL VER WEG
2007 OR10 is niet zo makkelijk te bezoeken. Tijdens het aphelium in 2130 is de afstand tussen deze planetoïde en de zon ruim honderd astronomische eenheden (oftewel: honderd keer de gemiddelde afstand tussen de aarde en de zon). Dat komt overeen met zo’n vijftien miljard kilometer. Momenteel is het object iets minder ver verwijderd van de zon, namelijk 88 AE. Dit maakt 2007 OR10 één van de verste objecten in het zonnestelsel.
Door het gereflecteerde zonlicht te vergelijken met de gereflecteerde infrarode straling, weten astronomen nu beter hoe groot 2007 OR10 is. Wat blijkt: het oppervlak is veel roder en donkerder dan verwacht. Geen Sneeuwwitje dus. Mogelijk is er een grote hoeveelheid bevroren methaan, stikstof en kooldioxide te vinden op het oppervlak van 2007 OR10.
Verder valt op dat een dag op 2007 OR10 zo’n 44,8 uur duurt. Dat is de tijd die het object nodig heeft om eenmaal rond de as te draaien. Ook die langzame rotatiesnelheid draagt bij aan een hogere inschatting van de grootte van 2007 OR10.
Alleen de dwergplaneten Pluto (2374 kilometer) en Eris (2326 kilometer) zijn groter dan 2007 OR10. Toch is de derde plek die ‘Sneeuwwitje’ momenteel bezit nog geen vast gegeven. “Ik ben nog een beetje skeptisch over de exacte grootte van het object”, vertelt astronoom Mike Brown aan New Scientist. Hij ontdekte 2007 OR10 in het vorige decennium. “Uit de berekeningen blijkt dat het object een diameter heeft tussen de 1310 en 1610 kilometer. Het is dus heel goed mogelijk dat ‘Sneeuwwitje’ toch nog kleiner is dan Makemake.”
Een groep sterrenkundigen van Sterrenwacht Leiden zoekt naar sterrenstelsels aan de rand van het waarneembare heelal. Maar wat is de rand van het heelal? En waarom kunnen we niet verder kijken?
Zoeken naar sterrenstelsels aan de rand van ons waarneembare heelal. Dat is waar een groep sterrenkundigen van de Sterrewacht Leiden, waar ik mijn promotieonderzoek deed, zich mee bezig houdt. Maar wat is de rand van het heelal? Het heelal is tenslotte oneindig groot. Maar hoe verder we het heelal inkijken, hoe verder we terugkijken in de tijd. Kort na de oerknal was het heelal ondoorzichtig omdat alle materie, voornamelijk waterstof en helium, in geïoniseerde toestand verkeerde. 380.000 jaar na de oerknal was de temperatuur van het heelal zo ver gedaald dat de waterstofionen elektronen konden invangen en er voor het eerst atomen ontstonden. We noemen dit proces recombinatie. Lichtstralen konden zich nu voor het eerst vrij door de ruimte bewegen en het heelal werd doorzichtig. Daarom kunnen we niet verder terugkijken dan 380.000 jaar na de oerknal. Voorbij deze ‘grens’ zien we niets meer. De ruimte houdt niet op, maar de tijd en de eindige leeftijd van het heelal begrenzen tot hoever we kunnen kijken. Binnen die grens bevindt zich het waarneembare universum.
“HET LICHT VAN STERRENSTELSELS AAN DE RAND VAN ONS HEELAL IS VAAK WEL 13,4 MILJARD JAAR ONDERWEG OM ONS TE BEREIKEN”
Lang onderweg Het licht van sterrenstelsels aan de rand van ons heelal is vaak wel 13,4 miljard jaar onderweg om ons te bereiken. Dat is 97% van de tijd sinds de oerknal. Dit betekent niet dat de huidige afstand tussen ons en deze sterrenstelsels ook 13,4 miljard lichtjaar is. Sinds het uitzenden van dat licht is het heelal namelijk flink uitgedijd en het stelsel staat nu dus veel verder dan 13,4 miljard lichtjaar van ons vandaan. Ook zien deze sterrenstelsels er vandaag de dag niet meer uit zoals ze op ons computerscherm achter de telescoop verschijnen. Met de tijd zullen de sterrenstelsels zijn gegroeid, samengesmolten met hun naaste buren en misschien zijn het zelfs wel rode en ‘dode’ stelsels geworden, waarin geen stervorming meer plaatsvindt. Dat weten we pas over vele miljarden jaren wanneer het licht dat nu deze stelsels verlaat bij ons op aarde is aangekomen.
De Melkweg.
Baby-Melkweg Op dezelfde manier zou er nu een beschaving kunnen zijn in dit sterrenstelsel aan de rand van het heelal dat terug in de tijd kijkt naar onze Melkweg. Ze zien daar niet onze prachtige geordende spiraalarmen en roterende schijf, maar onze Melkweg hoe die er 13.4 miljard jaar geleden uitzag. Waarschijnlijk was de baby-Melkweg een klein hoopje sterren dat verder veel turbulent gas bevatte. Wij zullen onze eigen geschiedenis nooit direct zien, wél die van andere stelsels in het vroege universum, sterrenstelsels die nu misschien wel op ons lijken. Daarmee kunnen we toch iets over onze eigen geschiedenis leren.
Het reïonisatietijdperk De sterrenstelsels in het vroege heelal waar we naar zoeken bevinden zich in het zogenoemde reïonisatietijdperk. De fase in de geschiedenis van het heelal die na de hierboven beschreven recombinatie volgt, toen het heelal gevuld was met neutraal waterstofgas, wordt vaak met ‘het donkere tijdperk’ aangeduid (zie de afbeelding hieronder). Sterren waren er toen nog niet. Zij ontstonden pas een paar honderd miljoen jaar na de oerknal en kort daarop waren de eerste sterrenstelsels een feit. Deze sterrenstelsels kunnen wij nu in principe zien aan de rand van het waarneembare heelal.

Het donkere tijdperk begon ca. 380.000 jaar na de oerknal en eindigde enkele honderden miljoen jaren later, toen de energierijke straling van de eerste sterrenstelsels het neutrale waterstofgas in het heelal opnieuw ioniseerde.

Raadsel in de sterrenkunde De geboorte van deze sterrenstelsels valt samen met het begin van het herionisatietijdperk. De eerste sterren en sterrenstelsels produceerden zoveel energierijke ultraviolette straling dat bijna al het neutrale waterstof in het heelal opnieuw in losse ionen en elektronen gesplitst werd. Deze faseovergang van het kosmische gas vormt al decennia lang een van grootste raadsels in de sterrenkunde. We zien de toestand van het gas veranderen in de metingen van vroege quasars (actieve zwarte gaten die omringende materie opslokken en daarbij enorme hoeveelheden energie vrijmaken), maar hoe het mogelijk is dat de kleine baby-stelsels uit die tijdsperiode genoeg energierijke straling kunnen produceren om het waterstofgas in het heelal opnieuw te ioniseren, is zeker nog niet duidelijk. Er zijn aanwijzingen dat de eerste sterren in het heelal uitzonderlijk zwaar en heet waren en daardoor voldoende ioniserende straling produceerden (zie de afbeelding hieronder). Of misschien was het de vrijgemaakte energie door de eerste quasars en andere materieopslokkende zwarte gaten.

Pas sinds een aantal jaar zijn we in staat om sterrenstelsels uit het reïonisatietijdperk te identificeren. Dit is zeker geen makkelijk karwei, maar omdat deze stelsels ons zoveel kunnen leren over deze vroege fase uit de geschiedenis van het heelal en de geschiedenis van onze eigen Melkweg, wordt er veel geïnvesteerd in dit onderzoek.
DIE STIPJES ZIJN BIJNA ALTIJD STERRENSTELSELS DIE HEEL VER WEG STAAN EN WAARVAN HET LICHT AL MILJARDEN JAREN NAAR ONS ONDERWEG IS
Stipjes in de ruis De eerste stap in het speuren naar sterrenstelsels aan de rand van het heelal is het zoeken naar de meest lichtzwakke objecten aan de hemel. De beroemde Hubble Space Telescope is daar uitstekend toe in staat. Elk jaar stelt het Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute een gedeelte van haar data vrij beschikbaar aan het publiek zodat sterrenkundigen (maar ook niet-sterrenkundigen) daar optimaal gebruik van kunnen maken en iedereen de mogelijkheid heeft om zelf naar de meest interessante objecten te zoeken. Een aantal gebieden aan de hemel zijn door de jaren heen zo vaak waargenomen dat de opgetelde belichtingstijd meer dan 100 uur beslaat. Door vele Hubble-opnames in de computer bij elkaar samen te voegen kunnen we de achtergrondruis steeds verder onderdrukken en zien we opeens allerlei piepkleine stipjes verschijnen. Die stipjes zijn bijna altijd sterrenstelsels die heel ver weg staan en waarvan het licht al miljarden jaren naar ons onderweg is.

De kleur bepalen De volgende stap is om met grote precisie de kleur van een sterrenstelsel te bepalen. Hoe verder een stelsel van ons af staat, hoe meer de golflengten van het licht zijn uitgerekt als gevolg van de uitdijing van het heelal. Het uitgerekte licht van vroege sterrenstelsels heeft nu een veel rodere kleur dan toen het werd uitgezonden. We spreken daarom van roodverschuiving. Hoe roder de kleur, hoe groter de afstand van het sterrenstelsel, hoe langer het licht van dat stelsel naar ons onderweg is en hoe verder wij het stelsel terug zien in de tijd. Door de rode kleur van sterrenstelsels te kwantificeren kunnen we zien uit welke tijdsperiode van het heelal het licht van een sterrenstelsel afkomstig is. Voor dit soort waarnemingen heeft Hubble camera’s met verschillende filters die voor de opnamechip geplaatst kunnen worden. Deze kleurenfilters laten heel specifieke golflengten door, bijvoorbeeld alleen blauw, groen of rood licht. Vervolgens proberen we zo nauwkeurig mogelijk de helderheid van een sterrenstelsel te meten door verschillende filters. Typisch worden zo’n 4 tot 7 opnames met verschillende filters gebruikt om een goede kleurbepaling te doen. Zo kunnen we de meest rode lichtbronnen en daarmee de beste kandidaten voor sterrenstelsels uit het reïonisatietijdperk uitselecteren.
Afstandsbepalingen met spectroscopie Een kleurbepaling levert alleen een schatting van de afstand van een sterrenstelsel op het moment dat het licht uitgezonden werd. Voor nauwkeurigere afstandsbepaling willen we met grote precisie de roodverschuiving meten. Dit doen we door gebruik te maken van spectraallijnen van verschillende atomen in het interstellaire gas van een sterrenstelsel. De golflengte waarop de spectraallijnen van een bepaald atoom worden uitgezonden staat vast en vormt een unieke vingerafdruk van dat element. Een gevoelige spectrograaf kan zelfs in sterrenstelsels aan de rand van het heelal deze spectraallijnen waarnemen. Zo kunnen we een directe vergelijking maken van de golflengte waarop de lijn in het verre sterrenstelsel waargenomen is en welke golflengte deze lijn in een aards laboratorium heeft. Het verschil tussen de twee golflengtes vertelt ons met zeer hoge nauwkeurigheid de roodverschuiving van hetsterrenstelsel.
Lyman-alpha Het overvloedig aanwezige waterstofgas in het heelal ‘produceert’ duidelijke spectraallijnen. De belangrijkste waterstoflijn heet Lyman-alpha, op een golflengte (zonder roodverschuiving) van 121.6 nanometer (nm). Door de hoge roodverschuiving meten we deze lijn in sterrenstelsels in het vroege universum typisch rond de 1000 nm. We vergelijken dit met het licht dat het menselijk oog waarneemt. De kleuren van de regenboog liggen in het golflengtegebied tussen 380 en 780 nm. De Lyman-alpha-lijn van waterstofgas straalt hier op aarde in het voor ons onzichtbare ultraviolette deel van het spectrum, maar verschuift helemaal naar het nabije infrarood voor deze verre sterrenstelsels waar het opnieuw onzichtbaar is voor onze ogen. Tot een paar jaar geleden werd Lyman-alpha veelvuldig gebruikt om vervolgonderzoek te doen aan sterrenstelsels die met Hubble waren geïdentificeerd als belangrijke kandidaat-stelsels in het vroege heelal. De afstanden van deze extreem verre stelsels werden bepaald met state-of-the-art nabij-infraroodspectrografen. Deze sterrenstelsels werden echter gevonden in de tijdsperiode nét na het reïonisatietijdperk. In het reïonisatietijdperk komen nog steeds grote hoeveelheden neutraal waterstofgas verspreid in het heelal voor. Neutraal waterstof absorbeert het Lyman-alpha-licht, zodat de eerste sterren en sterrenstelsels die tijdens het reïonisatietijdperk op het kosmische toneel verschenen, voor ons onzichtbaar blijven. Het neutrale waterstofgas in het reïonisatietijdperk is te vergelijken met de mist van het kosmische ochtendgloren waar we nauwelijks doorheen kunnen kijken.
Momenteel in aanbouw, de James Webb Telescoop. Afbeelding: NASA.
James Webb Telescope Het is daarom uitermate moeilijk om sterrenstelsels in het reïonisatietijdperk te identificeren met behulp van waterstoflijnen. Hoewel het theoretisch mogelijk is om sterrenstelsels te identificeren met behulp van andere atomaire spectraallijnen, zijn er op dit moment geen instrumenten die gevoelig genoeg zijn en in het juiste golflengtegebied opereren voor deze waarnemingen. We hopen dat over een paar jaar hierin verandering zal komen met de lancering van de James Webb Space Telescope, maar tot die tijd zijn we voornamelijk van Lyman-alpha afhankelijk. Voorlopig blijft daarom de vraag: is het lage succesgehalte van het opsporen van verre sterrenstelsels met Lyman-alpha het gevolg van de absorptie door neutraal waterstof of is onze voorselectie die we met Hubble maken nog niet goed genoeg? Het nemen van spectra kan alleen via lange belichtingstijden met grote aardse telescopen, waardoor het belangrijk is om alleen de meest veelbelovende kandidaten te onderzoeken. Want hoe beter je selectie van kandidaat-sterrenstelsels door middel van een kleurenanalyse, hoe groter de kans op een succesvolle spectroscopische identificatie.
Ruimtetelescoop Spitzer. Afbeelding: NASA.
Spitzer Space Telescope In Leiden maken we de laatste paar jaar naast Hubble steeds meer gebruik van deSpitzer Space Telescope. Spitzer heeft een veel kleinere spiegel, slecht 85 cm in diameter in plaats van 2.4 m zoals Hubble, maar heeft als voordeel dat de telescoop, anders dan Hubble, kan waarnemen in het verre infrarood. In mijn promotieonderzoek werkte ik veel met verre infraroodopnames van Spitzer. Er werd lang gedacht dat de infraroodstraling die we met Spitzer in sterrenstelsels waarnemen, vooral afkomstig is van sterren met een lage massa. Kleine, lichte sterren zijn minder heet en stralen daardoor het grootste deel van hun licht in het infrarood uit. Omdat er veel meer lichte sterren zijn dan zware, kun je de totale massa aan sterren in een sterrenstelsel meten door te kijken naar de totale hoeveelheid straling in het verre infrarood. Tijdens mijn promotieonderzoek voerde ik met Spitzer deze massabepaling uit op (kandidaat)sterrenstelsels uit het reïonisatietijdperk. Tijdens dat werk deed ik een onverwachte ontdekking: er bleek ‘extra’ flux (stralingsintensiteit) aanwezig te zijn in één van de opnames van Spitzer, genomen met één specifiek filter. De extra flux was duidelijk niet aanwezig in opnames met andere kleurenfilters. Na alle andere opties uitgesloten te hebben kwamen we tot de conclusie dat het extra licht afkomstig moet zijn van de spectraallijnen van zuurstofatomen in het hete gas rondom pasgeboren sterren.
Nader onderzoek Waarom dit licht zo sterk is, is nog niet duidelijk en wordt nog nader onderzocht. Maar nu we weten dat het hete gas in deze sterrenstelsels zoveel licht uitstraalt in het verre infrarood, moeten we daar zeker rekening mee houden in ons onderzoek. Ten eerste is het belangrijk dat we onze massabepalingen van sterrenstelsels niet laten beïnvloeden door deze onverwachte lichtbron. Daarnaast geeft het hete gas ons een extra mogelijkheid voor het identificeren van sterrenstelsels in het reïonisatietijdperk. De verste sterrenstelsels hebben namelijk het meest roodverschoven licht en dat geldt dus ook voor het ‘extra’ licht van het hete gas dat we waarnemen in de opnames met bepaaldeSpitzer-filters.
Hoge lichtintensiteit Een groep wetenschappers in Leiden, Rychard Bouwens, Ivo Labbé, Mauro Stefanon, master-student Guido Roberts-Borsani en ikzelf, hebben verschillende Spitzer-opnames van sterrenstelsels onderzocht. Van deze stelsels vermoedden we al dat ze zich in het reïonisatietijdperk bevonden omdat de kleurmeting met Hubble daar op wees. Maar daarnaast hadden sommige sterrenstelsels ook een heel hoge lichtintensiteit in de opname met het meest rode filter van Spitzer. Een meting die bijna identiek was aan de sterrenstelsels met zuurstof-spectraallijnen die we al eerder hadden waargenomen, maar dan nóg verder roodverschoven! Deze ontdekking was de aanleiding voor een aantal vervolgwaarnemingen in samenwerking met wetenschappers Pascal Oesch (Yale University) en Adi Zitrin (Caltech) in de Verenigde Staten om te proberen een gedetailleerde afstandsbepaling te doen van de drie meest veelbelovende sterrenstelsels.
EÉN VAN DEZE STELSEL, DATEREND VAN SLECHTS 650 MILJOEN JAAR NA DE OERKNAL, BRAK HET AFSTANDSRECORD
Het verste sterrenstelsel ooit Sinds 2013 was het record van het verste sterrenstelsel ooit gemeten en bevestigd met een Lyman-alpha-lijn op 1034 nm, in handen van een stelsel waarvan het licht 700 miljoen jaar na de oerknal was vertrokken. Het stelsel werd opgespoord door Steven Finkelstein van de universiteit van Austin, Texas, met behulp van de Amerikaanse Keck-telescoop op Hawaï. Steven onderzocht een klein dozijn sterrenstelsels en kon slechts bij één daarvan de afstand vaststellen. Om dit record te verbeteren kreeg Pascal Oesch waarneemtijd op dezelfde Keck-telescoop tijdens de nachten van 23 en 25 april 2014. Twee kandidaat-sterrenstelsels, eerder achterhaald met zowel Hubble als Spitzer, werden waargenomen, en verrassend genoeg ontdekte Oesch de Lyman-alpha-lijn in beide stelsels op 1031 en 1062 nm. Eén van deze stelsels, EGS-zs8-1, dateerde van slechts 650 miljoen jaar na de oerknal en brak het afstandsrecord (zie hieronder).

Aangemoedigd door dit succes kreeg Adi Zitrin opnieuw de kans om op 10 en 11 juni 2015 een derde sterrenstelsel uit dezelfde Hubble en Spitzer-selectie te bestuderen met Keck. Opnieuw werd de Lyman-alpha lijn-vastgesteld, deze keer zelfs op 1178 nm. Het licht van dit stelsel, EGSY8p7, werd uitgezonden toen het heelal minder dan 600 miljoen jaar oud was (figuur 4 en 5). De identificatie van de ‘extra’ Spitzer-flux, veroorzaakt door het hete gas in stervormingsgebieden van extreem verre sterrenstelsels heeft in korte tijd grote gevolgen gehad voor de studie van deze stelsels aan de rand van het waarneembare heelal. Niet alleen deze nieuwe afstandsrecords zijn opmerkelijk, maar vooral de efficiëntie van het onderzoek: drie geselecteerde sterrenstelsels leverden drie Lyman-alpha-lijnen op waarmee de afstand kon worden bepaald. Betwisten deze ontdekkingen ons beeld dat neutraal waterstof in het reïonisatietijdperk Lyman-alpha absorbeert? Hoe kan het dat voorgaande studies slechts een efficiëntie van 5% konden bereiken?
Het verre sterrenstelsel, EGSY8p7, ontstond toen het heelal nog maar 550 miljoen jaar oud was. Deze recordhouder is ontdekt in afbeeldingen van de Hubble- en Spitzer-ruimtetelescopen. De bijzonder rode kleur in de infraroodafbeelding van Spitzer was aanleiding om het stelsel nader te onderzoeken. Astronomen hebben vervolgens met de Keck 1-telescoop op Hawaï de exacte afstand van het stelsel bepaald. Afbeelding: I. Labbé (Leiden University) / NASA / ESA / JPL-Caltech)
Het raadsel van de geïoniseerde bubbels Het waargenomen Lyman-alpha-licht in deze extreem verre sterrenstelsels is afkomstig uit het reïonisatietijdperk en stelt ons voor een raadsel. We weten dat er veel absorberend neutraal waterstof aanwezig was in het heelal rond die tijd, maar duidelijk zijn niet alle gebieden van het vroege universum compleet gevuld met dit gas. Want anders zouden we stelsels als EGS-zs8-1 en EGSY8p7 nooit kunnen waarnemen.

De roze vlekken markeren het einde van het donkere tijdperk en het begin van de reionisatie. Afbeelding: Adi Zitrin, Caltech.
Hypothese Eén mogelijke hypothese is dat deze sterrenstelsels zelf genoeg ioniserende straling hebben uitgezonden voor het vormen van een grote ‘bubbel’ of bel van geïoniseerd gas rondom het stelsel. De Lyman-alpha-straling kan deze bel ongehinderd doorkruisen, maar wordt onderweg roodverschoven – en verliest daardoor energie – als gevolg van de uitdijing van het heelal. Tegen de tijd dat het licht een gaswolk van neutraal waterstof tegenkomt kan die het Lyman-alpha-licht niet meer absorberen: de energie van de fotonen is daarvoor nu te laag. Dat lukt alleen als de bel een voldoende grote afmeting heeft. Tijdens de reis van het Lyman-alpa-licht door de bel moet de afgelegde afstand en de reistijd groot genoeg zijn om de expansie van het heelal zijn werk te laten doen. De roodverschuiving moet immers groot genoeg zijn om te voorkomen dat de straling in de ‘mist’ van het neutrale waterstof voorbij de grens van de geïoniseerde bubbel verdwijnt.
Hoe ontstaat zo’n bubbel? De vraag is nu: hoe is deze geïoniseerde bubbel ontstaan? Waar komt de ioniserende straling vandaan om dergelijke reusachtige bellen te vormen? Misschien bestaat er een verband met de mysterieuze spectraallijnen van zuurstof die deze drie sterrenstelsels hebben. Deze lijnen zijn afkomstig van het hete gas rondom de stervormingsgebieden in deze stelsels. Het zou kunnen dat in deze sterrenstelsels extreem hete sterren geboren worden die overmatig veel ioniserende ultraviolette straling produceren. Een aantal kandidaten zoals snel roterende sterren en massieve binaire sterren zijn voorgesteld, maar bewijs vinden voor één van deze theorieën is heel moeilijk. Misschien zal de James Webb-telescoop uitsluitsel geven.
Alternatief Een alternatieve hypothese voor de geïoniseerde bubbels zegt dat deze sterrenstelsels in een redelijk ver gevorderd stadium van hun evolutie verkeren. De grote helderheid van deze stelsels kan daarop wijzen. Ver ontwikkelde sterrenstelsels vormen vaak groepen en leven dus in overbevolkte gebieden. Dat zou betekenen dat er meerdere sterrenstelsels in de buurt moeten zijn en dat de gezamenlijke straling van deze groep sterrenstelsels een bel van geïoniseerd gas kan produceren. Om deze theorie te bevestigen zal er nog veel meer telescooptijd moeten worden geïnvesteerd, aangezien de sterrenstelsels in de directe nabijheid van onze nieuw ontdekte stelsels veel lichtzwakker zijn.
Voor onze onderzoeksgroep bestaat de eerstvolgende stap uit het verzamelen van een grotere steekproef van dit soort sterrenstelsels. We hebben meer kandidaten met Spitzer geselecteerd en nieuwe waarneemtijd is toegewezen aan Ivo Labbé door de European Southern Observatory om met de Very Large Telescope in Chili naar Lyman-alpha te zoeken in deze sterrenstelsels. We komen stapje voor stapje dichter bij het oplossen van het raadsels van het reionisatietijdperk en het vinden van sterrenstelsels in het meest vroege stadium van het heelal.

Men in Black: THE SHOCKING REAL TRUTH - UFO Alien Documentary
UFOs are the biggest mystery of our time and somebody-or something- seems determined to keep it that way. Thousands of UFO researchers and witnesses have told of terrifying encounters with mysterious men, usually dressed completely in black, who threaten terrible consequences if they don't keep silent. The Men in Black seem to appear out of nowhere, know facts the witnesses haven't divulged to anybody, and frequently display bizarre behavior, leading some to question whether they are in fact, human. The team interviews men who are only now willing to come forward to tell their stories. A sketch artist will create portraits of the MIB to see if the sightings match. The team will also analyze the only known photograph of a MIB and talk to the photographer. Finally, the team travels to "the new Area 51" in the Utah desert, to a site rumored to be the place where the MIB originate. SHOCKING evidence!

5 Ways to Travel Through Time
5 Ways to Travel Through Time
Ever wondered how you could travel through time? If so, you’re not alone, as numerous scientists are also preoccupied with this idea, and they even put a few experiments together to prove their theories.
1. Speed
This is probably the most pragmatic way to move through time. Einstein’s theory of special relativity shows that whenever you travel at speeds close to the speed of light, time slows down in contrast with the outside world. It’s not just a theory, since special measurements had already been done. With the help of two atomic clocks, one onboard a jet aircraft and the other stationary on Earth, physicists have proven that the moving clock was ticking slower, due to the traveling speed of the aircraft.
It wasn’t much of a time altering since we’re far off from achieving the speed of light, but if the craft traveled at 90% of the speed of light, the time would pass approximately 2.6 time slower than it would on the Earth. Of course, if we would push the speed even further, time would slow even more.
2. Gravity
This method is also inspired by Einstein. According to his theory of general relativity, the more intense the gravity, the slower time moves. For example, if you were to travel to the center of our planet, the gravity force would increase, making time pass slower than it would on the surface.
This effect has also been measured. In 2010, physicists at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) put two atomic clocks 33 centimeters above the other, proving there was a slight difference between their ticking rate. The one above ticked faster because the gravitational force was lower, while the one below experienced a small ticking delay.
But how can we travel to the future using this method? We only need a region with extremely strong gravity, like a black hole. Whenever you approach its event horizon, time will move slower, but this is too risky for the moment, as scientists are yet to determine what lies beyond that.
In any case, if we had the technology to reach a black hole (the closest one being 3,000 light years away,) the time altering achieved through traveling would be far greater than what we would obtain by orbiting the black hole itself.
3. Suspended animation
Now we’re talking about a more realistic way to achieve time travel , if we take into account our current technological means. Unlike the above mentioned strategies, the suspended animation will temporarily slow you perception of time by gradually lowering or stopping your body processes in order to be restarted at a later date. So instead of chasing after time travel, why not wait for it instead?
Bacterial spores are renowned for their ability to survive for millions of years in a variation of suspended animation, until the necessary conditions for life are met. At this point, they’ll just restart their metabolisms once more.
Another example comes from the animal kingdom, where bears and squirrels can slow down their metabolism while they hibernate, drastically reducing the requirements of their cells when it comes to food and oxygen. But are humans able to do the same?
4. Wormholes
Because the Universe is so vast, it allows for certain shrotcuts through spacetime so you can visit it faster. The wormhole acts as a bridge between two different points in the cosmos, providing a fast a reliable journey through billion of light years or more.
Numerous scientists, including Stephen Hawking, believe that wormholes are continuously appearing all around us, but only at a quantum scale, which is far lower than atoms. To make this viable for humans, we have to find a way to contain a wormhole and adjust its size so that we would be able to travel through it. Such a feat is doable…at least in theory.
5. Using light
Last, but not least, the idea put together by American physicist Ron Mallet points out that we could use a rotating cylinder of light to spin spacetime. At this point, anything released inside the vortex of light would theoretically be sucked-up in space and time similar to how “a bubble runs around on top of your coffee after you swirl it with a spoon.”
Mallet explains that such an experiment could grant access to time travel, but time could go either way, meaning that you could end up either in the future or the past. After publishing his theory in 2000, Mallet has been trying to raise the necessary funds to bring his concept into reality. His plan aims at dropping neutrons through a circular device of spinning lasers.
Although his assumptions were neglected by the physics community because of a small glitch found in the basic model, his experiment is likely to work if the upcoming years will bring more understanding of the laser physics.
Alien ancient Egypt.pharaohs were extraterrestrials!
COULD IT BE THAT THE HIEROGLYPHS LEFT BEHIND BY THIS MYSTERIOUS CULTURE DETAILED A HISTORY OF VISITORS FROM ANOTHER PLANET? AND THE STORY OF AN ADVANCED ALIEN RACE ASSISTING PEOPLE ON EARTH, THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO? IF THIS IS TRUE, THIS COULD ABSOLUTELY CHANGE AND ALTER EVERYTHING WE BELIEVE ABOUT THE HUMAN RACE.
FROM STORIES OF VISITATION BURIED WITHIN ANCIENT TEXTS TO EVIDENCE THAT EGYPTIAN STRUCTURES DID NOT BEGIN ON EARTH, TONIGHT, WE REVEAL THE INCREDIBLE TALE OF STRANGE BEINGS BEHIND ONE OF THE MOS ADVANCED CIVILIZATIONS IN HUMAN EXISTENCE. JOIN US, AS THE ALIEN HISTORY OF THE EGYPTIAN GODS IS UNSEALED. A GLOBAL EFFORT HAS BEGUN. SECRET FILES HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC FOR DECADES DETAILING EVERY UFO ACCOUNT ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. WE ARE ABOUT TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND THESE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.
FIND OUT WHAT THE GOVERNMEN DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW. “UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES” EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRETS ON PLANET EARTH. EVIDENCE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD SUGGESTS THAT A CONNECTION MAY EXIST BETWEEN ALIENS AND ANCIEN HUMAN CIVILIZATIONS. THE CELESTIAL CALENDAR KNOWN AS STONEHENGE, THE ANCIENT INDIAN TALES OF PILOTED SHIPS CALLED VIMANAS. WHAT WE’RE DISCOVERING IS THAT ANCIENT SOCIETIES THA SUDDENLY BLOSSOMED AND BLOOMED OUT OF NOWHERE LEARNED THA INFORMATION FROM OLDER, MUCH OLDER CULTURES. PROBABLY HUMAN, BUT POSSIBLY NOT HUMAN. NO CIVILIZATION IN HUMAN HISTORY MAY REVEAL MORE ABOU OUR CONNECTION TO THE STARS THAN A RACE BEGINNING OVER 5,000 YEARS AGO. THE PEOPLE OF ANCIENT EGYPT.
ANCIENT EGYPT IS ALMOST LIKE A WELL OF OUR OWN HUMAN PATHS. THE MORE WE EXPLORE THE MYSTERIES OF ANCIENT EGYPT, THE MONUMENTS, THE PYRAMIDS, THE SPHINX, THE MORE WE REALIZE THA THERE’S MORE TO LEARN ABOU ANCIENT EGYPT AND ITS POTENTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER EXTRATERRESTRIAL RACES. DENDERA, EGYPT. AMONG THE MANY RUINS HERE, THE GREAT TEMPLE OF HATHOR SERVES AS THE CENTRAL TEMPLE OF WORSHIP FOR THE GODDESS HATHOR, MOTHER, WIFE AND DAUGHTER OF RA, THE SUN GOD. WHAT’S FASCINATING ABOUT THE TEMPLE OF HATHOR IS THAT IT HAS THIS BEAUTIFUL CELESTIAL IMAGE ON THE CEILING.
AND IT PROVES THAT THE ANCIEN EGYPTIANS WERE FASCINATED WITH ASTRONOMY. BUT HIEROGLYPHICS IN THE TEMPLE OF HATHOR ALSO REVEAL WHAT COULD BE A SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING THOUSAND OF YEARS AHEAD OF ITS TIME. THE MOST MYSTERIOUS ETCHINGS APPEAR TO SHOW A DEVICE THA WOULDN’T BE INVENTED BY MODERN MAN FOR ANOTHER THREE MILLENNIA.
SO YOU HAVE THESE HIEROGLYPHICS THAT DEPICT THIS REPTILE-LIKE CREATURE OR CREATURES, GIVING THESE GIFTS TO HUMANS. AND THE GIFTS, REALLY, UPON LOOKING AT IT, ARE BULBOUS IN NATURE, THEY’RE EMITTING A LIGHT, YOU COULD EVEN ARGUE THA THERE’S A FILAMENT INSIDE THA LOOKS LIKE A LIGHT BULB. SOME PEOPLE SAY THA IT’S A LIGHT BULB.
DID ANCIENT EGYPTIANS POSSESSED THE KNOWLEDGE OF ELECTRIC LIGHT BULBS OVER 3,000 YEARS BEFORE THOMAS EDISON? AND CAN THE RECORDS OF ANCIEN EGYPT REVEAL THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE STRANGE CREATURES PASSING THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO MANKIND? UNSEALED CASE FILE: THE TULLI PAPYRUS. ONE OF THE MOST RECEN ACCOUNTS OF POSSIBLE INTERACTION BETWEEN EGYPTIANS AND EXTRATERRESTRIALS COMES FROM THE TULLI PAPYRUS.
ACCORDING TO REPORTS, THE TULLI PAPYRUS WAS DISCOVERED IN A CAIRO ANTIQUE SHOP BY ALBERTO TULLI, A DIRECTOR OF THE VATICAN MUSEUM’S EGYPTIAN STUDIES. THE MESSAGES’ ALLEGED TRANSLATION REVEALS A SHOCKING ACCOUNT OF UNIDENTIFIED VISITORS OVER THE SANDS OF ANCIENT EGYP MORE THAN 3,500 YEARS AGO. IT READS: “IN THE YEAR 22, A STRANGE FIERY DISK WAS COMING IN THE SKY. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS HAD PASSED, THEY BECAME MORE NUMEROUS IN THE SKY THAN EVER. THEY SHINED IN THE SKY, MORE THAN THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN. POWERFUL WAS THE POSITION OF THE FIERY DISKS.
THE TULLI PAPYRUS DESCRIBES FIERY DISKS THAT WERE FLYING THROUGH THE SKY. WHAT DO WE CALL THESE NOW? WE CALL THESE UFOs, AND I ALMOST LOOKED LIKE AN ALIEN FLEET, THAT EXTRATERRESTRIALS WERE FLYING OVER THE SKIES OF ANCIENT EGYPT. MANY BELIEVE THESE FIERY DISKS COULD BE THE ARRIVAL OF ALIEN BEINGS DEPICTED IN THE TEMPLEOF HATHOR.
IF THIS IS TRUE, THEN WE HAVE AN ACTUAL DOCUMENTED ACCOUNT OF UFOs DESCENDING UPON ANCIEN EGYPT. AND ON TOP OF THAT, WE COULD HAVE EVIDENCE OF TECHNOLOGY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AHEAD OF ITS TIME. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WHAT WE THOUGHT OF AS GODS WERE IN FAC EXTRATERRESTRIALS THAT THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS WERE COMMUNICATING WITH? AND IF SO, THEN WHY WERE THEY HERE? AND WHAT DID THEY WANT FROM US? COMING UP NEXT, THE ANSWER TO THESE MYSTERIES COULD REVEAL THE GREATEST ALIEN SECRETS IN HUMAN HISTORY AND UNCOVER THE TOMB OF AN ANCIENT RULER KNOWN TO SOME AS THE ALIEN KING. “UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES” EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRE ON PLANET EARTH.
WELCOME BACK TO “UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES” ANCIENT EGYPTIAN RECORDS PROVE AN UNDENIABLE LINK BETWEEN THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT AND MYSTERIOUS BEINGS THAT HAVE BEEN INTERPRETED AS GODS. BUT WERE THESE GODS MERE FOLKLORE? OR COULD THEY HAVE BEEN ACTUAL CREATURES VISITING OUR PLANE AND SHARING THEIR SECRETS WITH MANKIND? IF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS HAD HAD CONTACT WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS, MAYBE ALL OF THE HIEROGLYPHS THAT WE SEE TODAY OF THEIR GODS ARE ACTUALLY THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS. ABYDOS, EGYPT. CARVED INTO THE WALLS OF THE FAMED TEMPLE OF SETI ARE INCREDIBLE IMAGES THAT SOME BELIEVE COULD CONNECT ANCIEN MEN AND ALIEN LIFE.
ON THE WALLS OF THESE EGYPTIAN EDIFICES, THERE SEEMED TO BE HIEROGLYPHIC DEPICTIONS OF AN AIRCRAFT. THERE’S A HELICOPTER. A MODERN TYPE OF AIRCRAFT. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE’S A SUBMARINE. WHAT COULD EXPLAIN THAT IN INSCRIPTIONS THAT WERE CARVED INTO STONE 8,000 YEARS AGO? IF THESE ARE RECORDINGS OF MACHINES A MILLENNIA BEFORE THEIR TIME, COULD ANCIENT MEN HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY BY A SUPERIOR RACE? YOU HAVE TO WONDER, WERE THESE FLYING MACHINES IN THE SKY DURING ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TIMES? IS IT SOMETHING THAT THEY BUIL THEMSELVES? OR THIS COULD BE PROOF THA SOMETHING WAS IN OUR SKIES THOUSANDS OF
YEARS AGO. IF THESE CARVINGS ARE EVIDENCE OF ALIEN CONTACT WITH ANCIENT HUMANS, WHAT WERE THEY HERE TO ACCOMPLISH? THE ANSWER COULD BE IN THE TOMB OF AN EGYPTIAN RULER SOME BELIEVE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN HUMAN AT ALL. UNSEALED CASE FILE: AKHENATEN, THE ALIEN KING. PHARAOH AMENHOTEP IV BECAME RULER OF EGYPT IN 1353 BC. BUT FIVE YEARS INTO HIS REIGN, HE CHANGED HIS NAME TO AKHENATEN, THE LIVING SPIRIT OF ATEN. IN EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY, ATEN IS DESCRIBED AS THIS SOLAR DISK, SOMETIMES DEPICTED WITH HANDS AND RAYS COMING OUT OF IT. AND THIS MAKES AKHENATEN THE LIVING EMBODIMENT OF THAT SUN DISK. AKHENATEN RULED FOR 17 YEARS, CHANGING THE TRADITIONAL RELIGION OF THE LAND TO ONLY
WORSHIP ATEN. ACCORDING TO THE KING, ATEN, THE SUN DISK, WAS MORE POWERFUL THAN MERE GODS. BECAUSE AKHENATEN WAS ABLE TO COME IN AND CHANGE ALL OF THE BELIEFS OF EGYPT IN A MATTER OF JUST YEARS, THAT TELLS ME THA THERE’S SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN HIM AND THIS DEITY. AND IF WE BELIEVE IN THE IDEA THAT ATEN WAS SOME SORT OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEING, THEN PERHAPS AKHENATEN WAS ACTUALLY OFFSPRING. HIEROGLYPHICS OF AKHENATEN REVEAL HIM TO BE ANYTHING BU NORMAL. HIS ARMS AND FINGERS ARE LONG AND SLENDER. HIS CHIN STRETCHES LOW. AND HIS HEAD, STRANGELY ELONGATED. CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE ALIENS WOULD BE PORTRAYED IN THE GENETIC STRUCTURE OF THE ROYAL FAMILY.
AND ONE OF THOSE IS CRANIAL ELONGATION. ANALYSIS OF AKHENATEN’S SKULL HAS LED RESEARCHERS TO IMAGINE A HEAD OF INHUMAN LENGTH AND EYES OF UNUSUAL SIZE. THIS TRAIT WAS ALSO SEEN IN DAUGHTERS OF THE PHARAOH, AS WELL AS HIS FAMOUS SON, KING TUTANKHAMEN.
BUT COULD THIS FAMILY HAVE DESCENDED FROM AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL RACE? SKEPTICS BELIEVE THA AKHENATEN’S SKULL SHAPE COULD BE THE RESULT OF SKULL BINDING OR TYING SOMETHING AROUND THE HEAD TO MISSHAPE IT ON PURPOSE, BU THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS THAT AKHENATEN’S SKULL SHAPE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH SKULL BINDING. SOME CLAIM AKHENATEN AND HIS DESCENDANTS SUFFERED FROM A BIOLOGICAL DISORDER, BUT ALIEN THEORISTS INSIST THE EXPLANATION LIES IN SOMETHING FAR MORE SHOCKING. COULD AKHENATEN, IN FACT, HAVE BEEN THE FIRST RECORDED ATTEMP AT ALIEN HUMAN HYBRIDIZATION? IF AN ALIEN RACE WERE DYING, HOW WOULD THEY INVADE ANOTHER PLANET TO SUSTAIN THEIR RACE, TO KEEP THEMSELVES ALIVE THROUGH SUCCESSIVE GENERATIONS? ONE WAY WOULD BE TO HYBRIDIZE WITH THAT SPECIES, TO CREATE A NEW SPECIES, THE SYNTHESIS OF THAT SPECIES AND THEIR OWN.
AND THEREFORE, THEIR CIVILIZATION COULD BE SUSTAINED. IF ALIENS WERE SUCCESSFUL IN INTERBREEDING WITH HUMANS, THEIR GENES COULD STILL BE PRESENT IN THE HUMAN RACE TODAY. BUT WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? AND WHERE DID THEY GO? THE ANSWER MAY BE WITHIN MESSAGES LEFT BEHIND AT THEIR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS: THE PYRAMIDS. COMING UP NEXT, THE HIDDEN CODES OF THE PYRAMID REVEAL INCREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF ALIEN ARCHITECTS AND EXPOSE A SHOCKING SECRET THA COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING WE’VE EVER BELIEVED ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF MAN. THIS IS “UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES” EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRE ON PLANET EARTH.
WELCOME BACK TO “UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES” ANCIENT RECORDS AND THE REMAINS OF A PHARAOH KNOWN AS THE ALIEN KING MAY PROVE THAT THE GODS OF EGYPT WERE MORE FLESH AND BLOOD THAN EVER IMAGINED. BUT COULD THESE STRANGE BEINGS HAVE BEEN VISITORS FROM ANOTHER WORLD? A LOT OF BELIEVERS FEEL THA THAT IS EVIDENCE THAT THEY WERE VISITED. THAT IS EVIDENCE THAT THEY KNEW MORE THEN THAN WE KNOW NOW ABOU LIFE OUT THERE IN THE UNIVERSE.
THE PYRAMIDS, WHAT MANY WOULD CALL IMPOSSIBLE STRUCTURES. THE PYRAMIDS MAY BE MAN’S GREATEST EARLY FEATS OF ENGINEERING. BUT WAS THE FEAT ACCOMPLISHED BY MANKIND ALONE? YOU CAN SEE EXAMPLES OF THIS ALL OVER THE GLOBE, BUT THE MOS IMPRESSIVE AND FASCINATING IS THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA. THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA WAS PARTIALLY CONSTRUCTED USING 130 GRANITE BLOCKS THAT EACH WEIGHED BETWEEN 12 AND 70 TONS. EACH MASSIVE PIECE WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE WITH SHEER MANPOWER ALONE. AND YET, EACH ONE WAS TRANSPORTED INCREDIBLE DISTANCES. THESE LARGE STONES OF GRANITE WERE HAULED 500 MILES AWAY TO BUILD THE GREAT PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT.
THEY NEEDED TO BE HOISTED OVER TIME THEY REACHED THEIR CAPSTONE, SO HOW DID ANY RACE DO THIS AND ACCOMPLISH THIS? ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CAME 2,000, OF JESUS. ACCORDING TO HISTORIANS, THE GREAT PYRAMID TOOK ONLY 20 YEARS TO CONSTRUCT. IF TRUE, WORKERS WOULD HAVE HAD TO QUARRY, CRAFT AND FIT A MULTI-TON BLOCK EVERY 2 1/2 MINUTES. THAT’S AN AMAZING FEAT, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT 21S CENTURY TECHNOLOGY. SO HOW DID THE ANCIEN EGYPTIANS DO IT? REALLY, THE ONLY ANSWER TO THA THAT YOU CAN COME UP WITH THA MAKES SENSE TODAY IS THEY HAD HELP. THEY HAD TO HAVE HAD HELP.
HOW COULD THE HUMAN RACE DO THIS BY THEMSELVES? THE DEGREE OF ACCURACY FOUND IN THE PYRAMIDS’ CONSTRUCTION ALSO INDICATES A HIGHER INTELLIGENCE. THE POSITIONING OF THE PYRAMID IS ABSOLUTELY PRECISE. IT POINTS DUE NORTH WITHIN 500s OF A DEGREE. NO OTHER STRUCTURE ON EARTH HAS THAT KIND OF PRECISION. CONSTRUCTED WITH WHAT THE EGYPTIANS REFERRED TO AS SACRED GEOMETRY, THE PYRAMIDS ARE SAID TO HAVE ONCE BEEN POLISHED TO REFLECT SUNLIGHT ENOUGH TO BE VISIBLE FROM SPACE. BUT WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF SUCH A BEACON? AND COULD THE ANSWER BE BURIED WITHIN THIS SACRED GEOMETRY? THE EQUATIONS AND THE MATHEMATICS REQUIRED TO HAVE FIGURED THAT OUT WERE SO ADVANCED, THAT ONLY SOMEONE LOOKING AT THE EARTH FROM THE SKY OR FROM SPACE WOULD HAVE FIGURED OUT THE MATHEMATICS FOR THE EQUATION.
ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE GREAT PYRAMID, WHEN MULTIPLIED BY ONE BILLION, MEASURES THE AVERAGE DISTANCE OF THE EARTH FROM THE SUN. THE FULL BASE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE GREAT PYRAMID IS A NEAR TO SCALE MATCH FOR THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE EARTH A THE EQUATOR. WHEN YOU TAKE ALL THIS INTO CONSIDERATION, HOW DID THE EGYPTIANS GET ALL THIS ADVANCED INFORMATION? IT WAS WAY BEYOND THE TECHNOLOGY OF ANCIENT EGYPT AND WAY BEYOND CIVILIZATION ITSELF.
THAT’S WHY MANY ANCIENT ALIEN THEORISTS BELIEVE THAT ANCIEN EGYPT WAS ACTUALLY, IN PART, AN ANCIENT EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATION. IF EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE INFLUENCED THESE GREAT STRUCTURES, IT IMPLIES THAT ALIEN BEINGS MAY HAVE FEL A KINSHIP WITH MANKIND. OTHERWISE, WHY DID THEY LEAVE BEHIND THE GREAT PYRAMID OR THE STRUCTURE THAT COULD EXPLAIN TO US WHERE THEY CAME FROM? THE SPHINX. AT 66 FEET HIGH AND 240 FEET IN LENGTH, IT IS THE LARGES MONOLITH STATUE IN THE WORLD. AND WITHIN IT, IS A SECRET THA MAY PROVE THAT THE STRUCTURES OF ANCIENT EGYPT DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM OUR PLANET. THE GREAT SPHINX CONTAINS A NUMBER OF MYSTERIES BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING, BUT THE GREATES OF WHICH IS RIGHT ON ITS SURFACE. IN 1991, GEOLOGISTS FROM BOSTON UNIVERSITY DISCOVERED EROSION AND WEATHER PATTERNS ON THE SPHINX THAT DATE ITS CONSTRUCTION THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE THE EXISTENCE OF THE EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION.
THEN THAT MEANS THAT THE SPHINX WOULD PREDATE THE EGYPTIAN CULTURE BY THOUSANDS OF YEARS. IF THE EGYPTIANS DIDN’T BUILD THE SPHINX, THEN WHO OR WHA DID? COMING UP NEXT, A CHILLING POSSIBILITY IS REVEALED BY NASA. THESE GREAT STRUCTURES MAY NO BE FROM EARTH AT ALL. AND THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT COULD PROVE IT WILL SHOCK THE WORLD WHEN WE RETURN.

Space Documentaries 2016 | Did God Create the Universe And Secret Aliens Sound Documentary

Space Documentaries 2016 | Did God Create the Universe And Secret Aliens Sound Documentary ------------------------------------------------------------------- Crop circles and UFO sightings weren’t getting their message across, so aliens have apparently started dropping breadcrumbs beyond Earth. A recent NASA experiment involving a balloon and infrasound microphones picked up some mysterious noises from the edge of space. Scientists have their theories about what the recordings could be, but at this point, the true origin of the sound remains a mystery, according to Live Science.
The research, the first of its kind in 50 years, involved sending a helium balloon to 22 miles above Earth’s surface, or about three times higher than the altitude planes fly at. Attached to the balloon were infrasound microphones, recording devices that can pick up sound at frequencies below 20 hertz per second – the lowest threshold of the human hearing range.
It was the highest point from which an infrasound recording had ever been taken. The experiment, conducted in August 2014, was designed by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill graduate student Daniel Bowman as part of NASA’s High Altitude Student Platform project, which was launched in 2006. “I was surprised by the sheer complexity of the signal,” Bowman told Live Science. "It sounds kind of like 'The X-Files.’" The balloon floated over New Mexico and Arizona for 450 miles, according to scientists.
While the origin of the bizarre space noises hasn’t yet been determined, scientists say the explanation might disappoint alien enthusiasts. The sounds could have come from something as non-extraterrestrial as crashing ocean waves, the vibration of the balloon’s cable, or air turbulence. The environment is full of infrasound from both natural and manmade sources. Most of them don’t travel from a galaxy far, far away.
This isn’t the first NASA-funded balloon experiment to take flight in recent years. In March, World View, a private space exploration company based in Arizona that wants to one day send tourists in to the near-space frontier, released a 331,000-cubic-foot helium balloon into the sky carrying two student experiments – one to monitor cosmic rays, and the other to measure the distribution of gases in Earth’s atmosphere.

We the people have to be very careful not to lose our internet freedoms and rights. I fear the internet padlock ever closing just as Conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones, David Icke and many others predicted. When i say predicted let me just clarify.
The governments and authorities tell people exactly what will happen, Sadly, most of us can be to short sighted. So much to learn with little time to do the research.
People rely on the media's version of News not because of ignorance or belief what you hear will be truthful, Although these rules may apply to some.

Forbidden history: Mass sighting of UFOs
Forbidden history: Mass sighting of UFOs
At U.I.P we always aim to bring you up-to date and breaking UFO stories, but we also like researching the historical paranormal events which have been suppressed by mainstream history, exactly like this one, the place is South of France, 5th august 1608:
The inhabitants of the South France, from Marseille to Antibes, witnessed a true UFO major incident, reported in a chronicle entitled “Discours des terribles et espouvantables signes apparus sur la mer de Gennes”.
Please see below some of the original texts:
The inhabitants saw three strange luminous vessels which evolved at high speed above the city. The three crafts stopped near the fortress and descended to just above the water where they cause the water to boil and emit a red-orange vapour.
Above and below, paintings from one of the witnesses
Numerous witnesses saw two humanoid beings with large heads and large luminous eyes, dressed in a red suit with silver scales, connected to the flying machine by tubes, and engaged themselves in several hours of strange work before going back inside their crafts and diving into the sea.
While this incident was amazing on its own, another mass UFO sighting was occurring just a few miles away.
In Genoa, an aerial battle took place between flying objects and other craft emerging from the sea. Witnesses described the event as very loud and violent; the smell in the air was putrid and it was “raining blood”, some citizens were, quite understandably, terrified and running for their lives.
Once the battle was over, 3 crafts returned to the port and hovered over the sea, it was then the army fired over 800 canon shots towards them! Obviously the crafts were unscathed and dived into the sea never to be seen again…
Original drawing from the battle of Genoa
U.I.P Summary
– These UFO sightings lasted for several days and witnessed by thousands of people from the south of France to Italy, but how many of you have heard about this incident?
It seems that different type of aliens have engaged in battles here on Earth throughout history, some described in the Mahabharata, one violent battle witnessed by hundreds of people in Nuremberg on April 1561, this one in the south of France, there have been many more which are suppressed by the powers that be.
Why have we not seen any further battles between UFOs? Are they using humans to settle their differences? They do work with some powerful governments after all, and maybe some wars we have seen in the past century had an alien influence…
YAZ- U.I.P
P.S: These files, paintings and drawings are available in this beautiful building in the south of France; they are only available on special request. One U.I.P team member will be flying there next April, with a request in hand:
WATCH: Here are the limits of humanity's space exploration
Unobtainable goals.
JOSH HRALA
When it comes to space exploration, how far can we actually go? Is there a true limit, even with the sci-fi tech of the future, to humanity’s reach beyond Earth?
As the Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell video above explains, humanity lives in a small area of the Milky Way - an average spiral galaxy that’s about 100,000 light-years across. Like many other spiral galaxies, it's full of stars, planets, gases, and dark energy, with a supermassive black hole in the centre. Though we might think of our galaxy as crowded, most of it is actually empty space.
Scaling up from there, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, along with about 50 dwarf galaxies, belong to our 'local group', which spans roughly 10 million light-years. Our local group is just one out of hundreds of other groups that make up the Laniakea Supercluster, which, in turn, is just a tiny part of the observable Universe.
Now that we know where we stand spatially, let’s assume that humanity’s future rockets will meet a science fiction level of interstellar travel. With all of these advances, how far from Earth could we possibly get?
Sadly, not that far. In fact, humanity will only ever get to explore the local group.
But that’s okay, though, right? The local group is 10 million light-years in diameter. Surely that’s a considerable amount of Universe? Nope! According to the video, our local group is just 0.00000000001 percent of the observable Universe. That’s 100 billionth of a percent! In other words, humanity’s reach miniscule, which is a total bummer.
So what’s holding us back? In short: space itself. Space isn’t truly empty like it appears - it’s actually full of energy and different parts of the Universe have denser pockets than others. To understand this, we have to go all the way back to the Big Bang, which inflated the Universe from the size of a marble to an unimaginable size.
During this event, quantum fluctuations stretched out, making denser areas of the Universe. Since then, gravity has been pulling everything back together because that’s just what gravity likes to do. In smaller areas, like our local group, gravity formed galaxies and everything that comes along with them.
Over time, these groups grew apart, thanks to mysterious nature of dark energy, which researchers say is responsible for the expansion of the Universe, though they know almost nothing about it. This means that our local group isn’t bound to other groups by gravity, causing them to float away from us.
Since these galaxies are traveling at breakneck speeds away from us, even if wewere to enter intergalactic space, we’d never move fast enough to reach them. In the future, this expansion will continue, and we'll eventually lose the ability to even see these other groups.
While these groups move away, the galaxies inside our group will come together to form 'Milkdromeda', a combination of our galaxy and Andromeda (if you couldn’t tell by that name). All of this means that, if there are still people around when Milkdromeda forms, they'll look out at the Universe and see nothing but darkness (sorry for the existential crisis).
Sounds pretty bleak, right? In a way, sure, but it’s important to remember that we haven’t even made it to Mars properly yet. There’s still a lot out there to explore before local groups separate enough for us to not see them. We’re talking billions of years - plenty of time!
Wormholes could be the key to beating the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, say physicists

Wormholes could be the key to beating the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, say physicists
And it could solve some of computer science’s most intractable problems.
BRENDAN COLE
Time travel seems much more common in science fiction than it is in reality. We’ve never met anyone from the future, after all. But all of the physics we know indicates that wormholes - another science fiction favourite - could really be used to travel backwards in time.
And according to a paper by Chinese physicists, using wormholes for time travel might actually allow us to beat Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle - described asone of the most famous (and probably misunderstood) ideas in physics - and even to solve some of the most difficult problems in computer science.
Wormholes are like portals between two places in the Universe. If you fell in one side, you’d pop out the other immediately, regardless of how far apart the two sides were. But wormholes are also like portals between two times in the Universe. As Carl Sagan liked to say, you wouldn’t just emerge somewhere else in space, but also somewhen else in time.
If two sides of a wormhole were close enough together, you might even be able to stop yourself from falling in. You could emerge back in time, run over to the version of you about to step into the wormhole, and tackle them to the ground.
Doing this would make what’s called a closed timelike curve, or CTC - and it would cause some logical issues. I mean, if you stop yourself from jumping into the wormhole, then how did you jump in in order to emerge from the other side and tackle yourself?
This is a version of the grandfather paradox, where you’ve done something after travelling back in time to make yourself unable to travel back in time, which makes you unable to stop yourself, which makes you able to stop yourself, and so on.
Physicists know that the paradoxical nature of CTCs makes them have some cool properties. You can use them to do things like measure the properties of particles better than Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle says you should be able to, and you can even solve computational problems that quantum computers don’t even allow you to solve.
But they still have those annoying paradoxes, and physicists don’t like paradoxes.
So they came up with alternatives called open timelike curves, or OTCs. OTCs still let you travel back in time, but they require that the Universe conspire to always make wormholes far enough apart that you could never, no matter what you did, stop yourself from falling in. You might be able to emerge and watch yourself, but you couldn’t do a thing about it. Paradox averted.
But can OTCs do all of the cool things that CTCs can do? A team led by Mile Gu from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China decided to find out.
First, they looked at the measurement thing: whether an OTC could be used to measure the properties of a bunch of particles to unlimited precision. In regular quantum mechanics, all measurements are limited by Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, which puts a fundamental limit on what we can know about a particle.
But Gu’s group showed that if you take advantage of the way that particles can be synchronised with each other before entering an OTC, all of the particles will emerge from the other side of the wormhole just about exactly lined up with one another.
Heisenberg says that you can’t measure any individual particle to unlimited precision, but measuring each member of the whole group would allow researchers to beat this fundamental limit. It’s like how one flip of a coin can’t tell you if the coin has heads on both sides, but 1,000 flips later, you can be pretty sure.
Then the team went one better. They showed that very similar systems could be used as computers - computers that would work even better than quantum computers. Some of the hardest computational problems are ones where we just have to try all of the answers that we can think of, see which one works the best, and hope that we didn’t forget to try one that would’ve worked even better.
Quantum computers won’t even always be able to master these kinds of problems, but physicists had shown that CTCs could. And now, Gu’s team showed that OTCs could too.
All of this, of course, is only really useful if wormholes (or some other means of time travel) exist. They’re as much a consequence of the laws of physics as black holes are, so it seems like they should be out there somewhere.
Astronomers, cosmologists, and particle physicists are doing their best to scan the Universe for them. If they ever do find a wormhole, whether it lets you tackle your past self or not, physicists would be able to use some of these remarkable properties to measure and compute in ways that seem impossible everywhere else in the Universe.
Earth's Magnetic Field Is Changing, Pole Reversal Overdue by Thousands of Years
Earth's Magnetic Field Is Changing, Pole Reversal Overdue by Thousands of Years
With more than two years of measurements by ESA’s Swarm satellite trio, changes in the strength of Earth's magnetic field are being mapped in detail.
Launched at the end of 2013, Swarm is measuring and untangling the different magnetic signals from Earth’s core, mantle, crust, oceans, ionosphere and magnetosphere – an undertaking that will take several years to complete.
Although invisible, the magnetic field and electric currents in and around Earth generate complex forces that have immeasurable effects on our everyday lives.
The field can be thought of as a huge bubble, protecting us from cosmic radiation and electrically charged atomic particles that bombard Earth in solar winds. However, it is in a permanent state of flux. The animation above shows the strength of Earth's magnetic field and how it changed between 1999 and May 2016.
Blue depicts where the field is weak and red shows regions where it is strong. As well as recent data from the Swarm constellation, information from the CHAMP and Orsted satellites were also used to create the map.
It shows clearly that the field has weakened by about 3.5% at high latitudes over North America, while it has strengthened about 2% over Asia. The region where the field is at its weakest – the South Atlantic Anomaly – has moved steadily westward and weakened further by about 2%.
In addition, the magnetic north pole is wandering east, towards Asia.
As remarkable as these changes sound, they're mild compared to what Earth's magnetic field has done in the past. Sometimes the field completely flips, with north and the south poles swapping places. Such reversals, recorded in the magnetism of ancient rocks, are unpredictable. They come at irregular intervals averaging about 300,000 years; the last one was 780,000 years ago.
In the next video Suspectsky interviews Suspicious0bservers on what a Magnetic Reversal means for Earth.
The interview defines what a pole shift is and generally overviews the effects a magnetic reversal would have on the weather, geological events, and human health.
The life-threatening near collisions with UFOs-Drones a reason for concern!
The life-threatening near collisions with UFOs-Drones a reason for concern!
Ryanair, an Irish Airline used COINTELPRO to get rid of the UFO RYANAIR case. A near-collision between a plane and UFO almost had cost lives. A Ryanair passenger witnessed a gobbling near-collision with a UFO just after the plane took off.
On December 31st 2014, 3:55PM CET, the Ryanair plane took off from Eindhoven airport, after 10 minutes airborne the UFO approached the plane with high velocity, overtook the plane and came back again towards the plane.
The evidence of the UFO Ryanair was recorded on camera by the passenger. KLM flight attendant reviewed the footage and confirmed the pilot was in distress, because of the unusual maneuver.
Although it is said that it would have been a UFO it's more likely a drone which nearly collided with the plane.
A recent study shows just how frequently planes and drones nearly collide. A report about drone incidentsreleased by a research group at Bard College said that there were 327 incidents of drones flying too close to piloted aircraft from December 2013 through September 2015.
The report’s authors said they counted 28 incidents of pilots taking evasive action to avoid a collision.
The latest incident just happened last month on April 16, 2016, when a British Airways pilot flying into London reported that an object believed to be a drone, struck the front of the plane while landing at Heathrow Airport from Geneva, Switzerland. Despite of the dangerous situation, the flight landed safely.
Due to the on-going incidents the British government is considering introducing a drone-registration scheme so the aerial vehicles can be traced back to their owners, while in the U.S, the FAA introduced a registration plan in December, with owners facing a fine if they don't comply. More than 400,000 people had registered by the end of March.
BOOMERANG SHAPED ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER IN OKLAHOMA
MAY 12, 2016 …. 10:50 PM ………….. EDMOND OKLAHOMA
I was sitting on my back patio deck when I witnessed someting against the black backdrop of the sky. I was sitting in a fold out chair and from my deck, my view from NE to SE is obscured by my neighbor’s tree. I have a small (10-20 degree) view of the northern sky before the back of my home blocks my view to the northwest sky. I just happened to be staring into the sky when something caught my eye to the north.
The object was boomerang shaped, had no lights and was only noticeable because it was reflecting some city light. It was barely a few shades lighter than the night sky behind it, but no doubt it was there. It appeared to be in a bank, as if in a turn from W to NW because I could make out a very distinctive boomerang shape. Like looking at a plane from the side when is in a turn, it’s wings are banked so you see more shape profile than if it were in level flight. There were no lights and there was no sound. I estimate the object to be within 2 miles to the north of my location near 150th and Penn in Edmond, OK. I cannot be positive about this as I could not make out the object’s size relative to my surroundings. It was too dark and barely visible. In all, I witnessed the object for about 15-20 secs before it was obscured by the city lights on the horizon as it seemed to settle into a NW heading.
I have never witness anything like this and I cannot rationalize it. I though it could be a military craft, but there was no sound whatsoever. I have lived next to an air force base and military craft make plenty of sound, even in the distance. For a moment, I though some idiot was hang gliding in the middle of the night, but found it unlikely per Federal Aircraft Regulations, Part 103. My point is that I will be trying to figure out what I saw for a while. I hope there is a simple explanation, because what I fear it was scares me.
The British X-files could be made available to the public in the coming days. Alien hunters are now excited to know more about the infamous Rendlesham UFO case. British officials already confirmed the files be transferred to the National Archives within the month.
UFO researchers have been fighting for the release of 18 top secret Ministry of Defence (MoD) files on government investigations of UFO sightings.
The Government has long faced allegations about cover-ups, and it worsened when their release of records involving UFO sightings and investigations did not push through at the end of 2013. The release stalled this March again.
Former MoD investigator on UFO sightings, Nick Pope, believes the files contain unusual sightings. However, he doesn’t think that the soon-to-be-released records involve the UK version of the US hangar cover up.
Lord Black of Brentwood has been exerting many efforts for the release of these records to the National Archives.
Mr Pope sympathized with alien researchers when the release of data was stalled, which the defense ministry blamed on additional processing requirements.
Mr Pope served the MoD for 21 years and said that they did not have any crashed spaceships hidden from the public in some RAF hanger. However, he stressed that they did have some fascinating and unexplained cases in their files.
Xmas eve, 1976 I was riding with my sister and her 6-7 month old niece in her Honda Civic traveling from Colorado to Tana, Iowa for the holidays. It was dusk when I looked to the south (over Des Moines) and noticed a strange light. At first we thought it was one of those huge American flags, because it was not only illuminated, but seems to have movement within. Imagine a large flag moving in the wind from a half mile or more away. As we watched this light it diagonal-ed N/E moving slightly above the tallest trees. I’m guessing we watched it for about 15-20 minutes for it to reach Interstate 80. And by then it was getting too dark to see exactly what it was. What we could see though was a red light on the north end, and a series of white lights flashing in sequence horizontally to the right of it. This is what we thought was a waving flag.
The UFO stopped over the interstate, and all of the cars driving slowed down. Many had on their dome lights so we could see each other. Also there were small groups of cars huddled together for safety I guess. Then the UFO lights began to move. The red light remained stationary as the flashing white light slowly moved counter-clockwise. Then stopped when they were flashing straight up from the red light. Then they moved clockwise back to their original position and continued past the horizontal position until they were flashing straight down from the red light. Then back up the original horizontal position. Cars on the Interstate were moving VERY slowly now. It moved north across the Interstate for maybe a minute and then in the blink of an eye it ascended traveling north. The Des Moines Register had an article the next day, or maybe two days later, and joked that all the people that had called reporting this UFO, were seeing Santa Claus.

Onder Roemenië ligt een 5,5 miljoen jaar oude ‘buitenaardse’ wereld verborgen
Onder Roemenië ligt een 5,5 miljoen jaar oude ‘buitenaardse’ wereld verborgen
In 1986 werd in Roemenië gezocht naar een geschikte locatie voor een nieuwe elektriciteitscentrale bij de Zwarte Zee. Tijdens werkzaamheden stuitten bouwvakkers op 20 meter diepte op een bizar onaangetast ecosysteem.
Het ecosysteem bevindt zich in een aantal smalle ondergrondse tunnels, die door middel van een dikke laag ondoordringbare klei zijn afgesloten van de bovenwereld.
Deze indrukwekkende plek, die de Movile-grot is gedoopt, is naar schatting 5,5 miljoen jaar afgesloten geweest. De lucht is er warm en dodelijk en bevat giftige gassen en weinig zuurstof. De tunnels zijn smal en donker. Wat de wetenschappers die dit ondergrondse stukje Midden-aarde zijn binnengegaan nog het meest verbaasd, is dat het er wemelt van leven.
Geen ogen
In Movile zijn schorpioenen, wormen, spinnen, bloedzuigers en nog onbekende microben gevonden. Er zijn liefst 33 nieuwe soorten aangetroffen.
“Alle wezens die we zagen zijn helemaal wit,” zei microbioloog Rich Boden in een interview. “Ze hebben geen pigment omdat er geen zonlicht is, je kunt dwars door ze heen kijken.”
De meeste soorten hebben geen ogen. Die hebben plaatsgemaakt voor langere voelsprieten en armen. “Ik vond het vreemd dat spinnen er nog steeds hun web maken omdat er geen vliegen zijn, maar toen zagen we kleine insecten die in de lucht springen en vervolgens in het web verstrikt raken,” voegde Boden toe.
Matten
Wetenschappers konden in eerste instantie moeilijk begrijpen hoe deze wereld kon floreren onder zulke omstandigheden. Toen zagen ze enorme ‘matten’ op de muren van de grot. Die bevatten vele miljoenen piepkleine bacteriën die zwavel en ammonia omzetten in energie.
“De bacteriën leven daar waarschijnlijk al veel langer dan vijf miljoen jaar,” zei microbioloog J. Colin Murrell. De voorwaarden voor leven in de grot zijn zo uniek dat de Roemeense pers een wetenschapper citeerde die zei dat het ecosysteem gemakkelijk een kernoorlog zou kunnen overleven.
In 2011 filmde Boden hoe hij afdaalde in deze unieke onderwereld. Je kunt een deel van zijn reis in onderstaande video bekijken:
VIDEO: Tonen deze beelden een tijdreiziger met een smartphone bij een bokswedstrijd in 1995?
VIDEO: Tonen deze beelden een tijdreiziger met een smartphone bij een bokswedstrijd in 1995?
Het internet is in de ban van een filmpje van een bokswedstrijd in 1995 tussen Mike Tyson en Peter McNeeley, waarin een toeschouwer een smartphone lijkt vast te houden. Dat melden diverse media.
De eerste cameratelefoon werd echter pas in 2000 verkocht. Volgens complottheoretici kan de toeschouwer een tijdreiziger zijn uit de toekomst. Sceptici zeggen dat het mogelijk gaat om één van de eerste digitale camera’s.
De wedstrijd vond plaats in Las Vegas. Het was voor het eerst in vier jaar tijd dat Tyson weer in de ring stond. De beelden zijn in september 2015 op YouTube geplaatst, maar worden op dit moment veelvuldig verspreid.
‘In 1995 hadden we telefoons, maar zaten er nog geen camera’s op’
YouTube-gebruiker JammyBantam, die het oorspronkelijke filmpje op internet plaatste, stelt dat in het midden van het voorwerp een lens zit, net als bij een smartphone, en dat het apparaat in geen enkel opzicht lijkt op camera’s die in de jaren negentig zijn ontworpen.
“Ik weet niet of het een tijdreiziger is of niet, maar niemand kan uitleggen wat voor camera het is; een QV-100 heeft geen zilveren randje aan de rechterkant en deze camera heeft geen zwarte lijn onder de lens,” schrijft JammyBantam onder de video.
Anderen verspreiden de beelden in de hoop dat iemand meer informatie over het mysterieuze apparaat kan geven. Scott C. Waring plaatste het filmpje op zijn blog UFOSightingsDaily.com. “Wat we hier hebben is een tijdreiziger die terug in de tijd is gereisd om zijn favoriete bokser in actie te zien,” schrijft hij. “In 1995 hadden we telefoons, maar zaten er nog geen camera’s op.”
Camcorder?
Sommigen wijzen erop dat er in de jaren negentig camcorders waren die op het voorwerp in het filmpje lijken. “Ik heb wat onderzoek gedaan en er waren enkele camcorders in die periode die enigszins hierop leken,” zei YouTube-gebruiker AllThingsCreepy.
Begin dit jaar was het wereldwijde web in de ban van een Grieks beeldhouwwerk dat zou bewijzen dat tijdreizen mogelijk is. Het meer dan 2000 jaar oude reliëf toont een vrouw op een troon die een laptop in haar handen lijkt te hebben.
Sceptici beweerden toen dat het ging om een ondiepe doos waar sieraden in bewaard werden of een wastafeltje waar met een griffel in geschreven kon worden.
En pas geleden trok de kleding van een 1500 jaar oude mummie uit Mongolië de aandacht van complotdenkers. Ze leek namelijk Adidasschoenen te dragen. Aanhangers van complottheorieën zagen er bewijs in dat tijdreizen mogelijk is.
This UFO is three parts, two you can see and a third you can't, unless you add light to it. There are two small orbs one on top (you can see) and one below (can see unless you add light). Excellent catch of an Argentina UFO. This guy says he seen these UFOs several times...lucky guy. Looks like a alien base is located at Mendoza. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: Argentina: UFO Photographed Over Manzano Histórico (Mendoza) The case involves a resident of the department who claims having seen an unidentified flying object over the skies of Manzano Histórico [Named after the apple tree where Gen. José de SanMartín allegedly rested after returning from his campaigns in Chile - Ed.] The photograph was submitted by an unnamed man, a native of the Tunuyán Department, who works nights at the Los Chacayes tourist district and was supposedly taken on Saturday night[05.07.16]. This person told Canal 8 that he was the author of the photograph, taken as he drove in his car toward Manzano. He saw a mysterious light flying in the sky. He affirmed that he frequently travels at night, and has repeatedly witnessed similar events in the area. He was able to capture one of them and on this occasion and share it with Canal 8 Digital.

This sighting over Argentina last week is more proof that UFOs like to take close flybys of passenger jets whenever possible. The scan the aircraft and the passengers, and I believe that they can even remove, examine, then place back on the plane the passenger of their choice. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: Argentina: Alleged UFO Photographed During Flight to Santiago del Estero *** Photograph taken by a resident of Santiago on whis way back from Buenos Aires *** Marcelo Quiroga is a resident of Santiago del Estero who was returning home after a trip through the Province of Buenos Aires. Before arriving in Santiago, he was startled by a strange object prowling the skies. Through Diario Panorama's WhatsApp account, Marcelo said the following: "A UFO! Can you believe it? It was on Friday, May 6, on my return to Santiago, approximately 10 minutes before landing." He then said that the photos were taken between 18:25 and 18:38 hours. Could it be possible?
Found by Streetcap1 of Youtube, this blue disk seems to be watching the Apollo 15 mission taking place from a distance away. The alien ship must have also noticed that there is a lot of garbage that was left on the surface near the Apollo module. 1st impressions are everything, this one made us look like lazy slobs.

Dr. Werner von Braun’s is the father of modern rocketry. The picture of von Braun that emerges is of a brilliant scientist with limitless curiosity and a drive to achieve his goals at almost any price―from developing the world’s first ballistic missile used against the Allies in World War II to helping launch the first U.S. satellite that hurled Americans into space and the Saturn V super-booster that powered them to the moon. The charismatic visionary brought the United States into the Space Age.
As former NASA flight director Dr. Wernher von Braun said, “The laws for space flight found in the Hebrew scrolls, are so precise that we have no difficulty building a spaceship to fly to the moon and can time the flight with the precision of a fraction of a second”. These laws must have been set by somebody.” The planets in our solar system, also the stars in the entire universe, move at a rate that is more precise than most clocks designed and manufactured by man. The galaxy in which our solar system is located includes over 100 billion stars, and astronomers estimate that there are 100 billion such galaxies in the universe! One of the great mysteries of extraterrestrials and space flight as discussed in the Ezekiel document had to do with the Merkaba, Jehovah’s celestial time conveyance traditionally known as the “Divine Chariot” as documented by the prophet Ezekiel accompanied by the four-faced living creatures.
Besides the obvious Divine laws and moral statutes it contains, the genetic and physical laws which are now only being appreciated by modern science are extraordinary. The Apostle John commented in his Gospel account that “All things came into existence through him [Jehovah’s Son and the Archangel Michael], and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.“-Proverbs 8:22,30,31.

Kepler: The Planet Hunter
The Kepler telescope finds planets using the transit method. The telescope can detect tiny dips in a star’s light which may be due to a planet passing in front of the star from Earth’s perspective. Once those dips signifying possible planets are found in the data, scientists qualify them as “Kepler objects of interest” (or KOIs for short), which can then be validated as official planets after follow up observations confirm what Kepler saw. The new study potentially solves a major problem with gaining insights from Kepler, since it demonstrates a fully automated way of parsing the signal from the noise in the Kepler data. This will free up valuable time for the limited space telescopes around the world. Scientists will likely still need to do some follow-up observations with Kepler planets, but the new analysis is a good starting point for figuring out how many worlds the telescope has discovered. The technique researchers employed for this study relies on two different simulations to statistically verify the planets. According to Morton, the research team simulated the shape of transits in detail and also simulated how common they expect the false positives to be. If the “reliability score” combining those two simulations is more than 99 percent, then they were declared planets. Of the 4,302 possible planets in Kepler’s July 2015 catalog, the study found that 1,327 are “more likely planets” while 707 are “more likely imposters” with 1,284 validated and 984 that were previously confirmed, according to NASA. According to NASA there may be tens of billions of potentially habitable planets in the Milky Way alone.View photos Image: NASA Ames/W. Stenzel; Princeton University/T. Morton
NASA Confirms Evidence That Liquid Water Flows on Today’s Mars
New findings from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars.
Using an imaging spectrometer on MRO, researchers detected signatures of hydrated minerals on slopes where mysterious streaks are seen on the Red Planet. These darkish streaks appear to ebb and flow over time. They darken and appear to flow down steep slopes during warm seasons, and then fade in cooler seasons. They appear in several locations on Mars when temperatures are above minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 23 Celsius), and disappear at colder times. Temperatures reach 90 Fahrenheit in summer months around the equator.
“Our quest on Mars has been to ‘follow the water,’ in our search for life in the universe, and now we have convincing science that validates what we’ve long suspected,” said John Grunsfeld, astronaut and associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. “This is a significant development, as it appears to confirm that water — albeit briny — is flowing today on the surface of Mars.”
These downhill flows, known as recurring slope lineae (RSL), often have been described as possibly related to liquid water. The new findings of hydrated salts on the slopes point to what that relationship may be to these dark features. The hydrated salts would lower the freezing point of a liquid brine, just as salt on roads here on Earth causes ice and snow to melt more rapidly. Scientists say it’s likely a shallow subsurface flow, with enough water wicking to the surface to explain the darkening. These dark, narrow, 100 meter-long streaks called recurring slope lineae flowing downhill on Mars are inferred to have been formed by contemporary flowing water. Recently, planetary scientists detected hydrated salts on these slopes at Hale crater, corroborating their original hypothesis that the streaks are indeed formed by liquid water.

“It took multiple spacecraft over several years to solve this mystery, and now we know there is liquid water on the surface”, said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. “It seems that the more we study Mars, the more we learn how life could be supported and where there are resources to support life in the future.” Website
Note: Back in the year 2000 these files reported there was flowing water on Mars.
Baltic Sea UFO
This is something that just came to light today thanks to Youtube UFO research. He found out that Titanium (Ti) was in high abundance in the Baltic Sea UFO and that it was in higher concentration that other most elements. Titanium seems like a great material to make a UFO out of since its stronger than steel and lighter. Not to mention that titanium is used today to make aerospace vehicles, missiles and jet engines, because it has a high heat resistance. Sounds to me that Sonofmabarker found the smoking gun…the evidence to prove that this is a UFO. SOURCE PDF Scott C. Waring Website
New ‘Superhenge’? Remains found near Stonehenge
“Our high-resolution ground penetrating radar data has revealed an amazing row of up to 90 standing stones, a number of which have survived after being pushed over, and a massive bank placed over the stones,” said professor Wolfgang Neubauer, director of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology.
“In the east up to 30 stones, measuring up to size of 4.5 x 1.5 x 1 meters (14.7 x 5 x 3.3 feet), have survived below the bank whereas elsewhere the stones are fragmentary or represented by massive foundation pits,” he said.
The newly discovered structures are believed to be 4,500 years old. Questions also arise about the landscape the builders of Stonehenge inhabited and how they changed this with the building of new monuments during the third millennium BC. “The extraordinary scale, detail and novelty of the evidence produced by the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project, which the new discoveries at Durrington Walls exemplify, is changing fundamentally our understanding of Stonehenge and the world around it,” said Paul Garwood, an archaeologist and lead historian on the project at the University of Birmingham. “Everything written previously about the Stonehenge landscape and the ancient monuments within it will need to be rewritten.” Website
In Maria’s new book “Stonehenge’s Elongated Skulls”, the people with the long skulls built long structures and later at Stonehenge, Avebury and numerous English archeological sites. People with elongated skulls were rulers in Egypt, Sumer, and Peru and associated with royalty. The mummified remains of Pharaohs often have elongated skulls. Pharaoh Akhenaton and Queen Nefertiti in Egypt who believed in one God had elongated skulls.
Maria has evaluated the remains of the elongated skulls and determined they were all murdered and their long lost history lost. Apparently, a group of invaders decided to eradicate the people of the elongated skulls after they settled the area for hundreds of years and likely built Stonehenge. She has also discovered a Neolithic High Queen that was laid to rest in the largest and longest barrow ever constructed in prehistoric Britain. Her book explains the untold history of the elongated skulls and how it was hidden from the Western world. Website.
It is thought the elongated skulls found in the Stonehenge area may not be human. They could come from an entirely new species that fits outside of the known evolutionary tree with the capability of advanced technology.
Cosmic Energy Research reports the people of the elongated skull apparently were able to utilize the energy in the stones to create heat or to formulate them in some way. In Western Europe, sixty fortresses were built using technology that indicates they could melt or form stone. Arthur C. Clarke has experimentally proved that using the firewood available at that time they could not reach the necessary temperatures to melt the stone. Thus, we can speculate that transforming or accumulating some type of cosmic energy gained the necessary temperature to melt the stone. Cosmic Energy Research also claims it can be derived that by connecting energy sources in a suitable manner, the energy components could also be used for defense purposes. The frequent sightings of UFOs in the area suggest the craft may have also used this energy.
The skull shown with teeth was found at West Kennet Long Barrow not far from Stonehenge. The other picture is from NASA showing the skull or a sculptured rock from Mars that suggests Martians or other aliens had elongated skulls. Some areas of Mars have pyramids and Pharaoh like statues. The entire Stonehenge area has exceptional people with elongated skulls that may have come from Mars or some other planet. They built Silbury Hill the largest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe called the “Hill of the Shining Beings, We know that Mars atmosphere and water diminished with some type of catastrophe and that gravity there is much less than on Earth. Mars gravity is only one sixth of Earths and to launch a spaceship from Mars would be relatively easy compared to a craft leaving Earth. An elongated skull is shown at the right as found on Mars.
Some of the persons with elongated skulls were buried in the West Kennet Long Barrow a Neolithic tomb, situated on a prominent chalk ridge, near Silbury Hill. The construction of the West Kennet Long Barrow commenced about 3600 BC, which is some 400 years before the first stage Stonehenge, and it was in use until around 2500 BC. Archaeological excavations in 1859 and 1955-56 found at least 46 burials, ranging from babies to elderly persons with elongated skulls. Hundreds of elongated skulls have now been found of unarmed men killed at ages of 3 to 25 years old indicating genocide. Wiltshire is where many crop circles and UFOs are frequently reported. Some people claim Wiltshire is a portal where craft from other planets arrive.

Researchers L.A. Marzulli and Brien Foerster claim elongated human or humanoid skulls have been found on six continents, and some islands in the tropical areas of the Pacific Ocean and Malta. Archaeologists agree that in most cases these intriguing skulls were those of the nobility of the cultures in which they have been found, but are at a loss to explain why practices such as cranial deformation were performed. Could it be that there were people in the distant past that were born with elongated heads, and that through mixing with normal humans head boarding had to be performed on their descendants in order to maintain their distinct appearance? Certain ruling classes were often taller than their subjects were red-heads and a sub-race of people born with elongated skulls. We know there was a race of redheaded rulers all over the ancient world. A lot of nations are trying to hide this history today, like China, New Zealand and Egypt. Brian claims that perhaps all ancient cultures that practiced mummification might have had redheaded rulers during their early period. We’ve got redheaded giants in North America as well. So, that’s another sub-race. Foerster and Marzulli have seen hundreds of examples from all parts of the world.
Foerster claims that several races of people were discovered by the Conquistadors and through various means wiped them out. No major culture developed in isolation. This is why we have ancient temples dedicated to the Egyptian Isis as far as Great Britain, and how the story of a global flood is repeated in the mythology of an estimated 200 to 600 different cultures. If a redheaded ruling class existed, as the evidence infers, then surely the European Imperialists wiped them out so they could become the ruling class themselves. The biggest difference is that these redheaded people weren’t ruling thousands of years ago, but as late as the 15th to 17th centuries.
King Henry VIII by Hans Holbein the Younger
(8 June 1491 to 28 January 1547) was King of England from 21 April 1509 until his death
Researchers L.A. Marzulli and Brien Foerster have new findings and theories about the mysterious elongated skulls from Peru. While many of the ancient skull elongations are due to intentional deformations through head binding, a group of elongated skulls from Paracas on the south coast of Peru have 25% more cranial volume. Preliminary DNA testing of material from five of the Paracas skulls shocked a major geneticist in the United States, Foerster reported. “There are segments from the DNA of at least one sample, if not more, that are not found in the GenBank, which is the global database of human and animal DNA,” and they don’t match anything Homo Sapiens, Neanderthal or Denisovan, he continued.
Foerster postulated that the elongated skulls of Paracas were a part of a lost race/royal bloodline that lived around 2,000 years ago, and initiated the Nazca Lines in Peru, before their race was wiped out by the people living at Nazca. Marzulli discussed the testing of a hair sample from the Paracas skull which turned out to have surprising similarities to a strand of hair said to be from an alien hybrid. He believes that the large-skulled Paracas might have been a branch of the ancient Nephilim, who appear in modern day as alien abductors.
Tom Reed’s Abduction
SHEFFIELD, Mass.(NEWS10) – My good friend Tom Reed is the man behind the discovery of an UFO encounter is being honored with a monument. The commemorative monument is dedicated to the official induction of our nation’s first off-world UFO incident. The monument was installed and funded by a coalition of witnesses present on that fateful night in 1969. Thomas Reed was one of those witnesses. Reed says he was his family’s station wagon adjacent to the Old Sheffield Covered Bridge in Sheffield, Massachusetts. Reed says after his mom drove over the bridge, they started seeing lights. The car came to a stop. The sound of frogs and crickets that had filled the night air just moments before dissipated. Lights filled the station wagon, silence, and then a loud bang reverberated through the night air. “You could see the lights flickering through the trees,” says Reed. “We were all just no longer in the vehicle anymore.”When Reed regained consciousness, he says his family was in a spacious industrial building. Something grabbed him from his left, guided him through a door and into a room on his right. “I ran at that point,” said Reed. “I came into a large intersecting hallway.” “I was covered with an apparatus,” he said. “I was put back into this room. I could hear my mother’s voice, my grandmother; at least I believe it was them.”Reed explained that he heard women’s voices calling out to him. The next thing he knew, he was back in his family’s car. The same night of the encounter, others reported similar experiences to WSPS Radio. Jesse Stewart, an employee of WSPS Radio, reported hearing from an 81-year-old woman who had been driving out to Stockbridge that evening. Following a recent call with Reed, Steward says she followed-up again.“It puts a chill down your back,” Reed explains. “It gives you a little bit of an upset stomach, because it was a strange night forus”
It is interesting that the monument has been vandalized as the Police reported.
Additionally Massachusetts has recorded the incident as an off world incident.

Sightings in the United States
Arizona Rectangle
Phoenix — I was on Southwest Flight 1912 about 25 minutes out of Phoenix on April 28, 2016, and I was sitting in window seat on left side of plane as you look forward. I was enjoying the view and noticed the brilliant while rectangular shape in the distance. It was slightly lower than our altitude, and appeared miles away. My first thought was another plane, but the shape and brilliant and did not make sense. Neither did the lack of motion. When I realized it wasn’t a plane, I turned on my iPhone and took several pictures.
I zoomed the camera in as far as I could and located the object in the screen. The auto-focus was not ready for the first picture, but the second two were in focus. What is really odd is the object was brilliant white in the view screen, but came out dark and a different shape in the pictures. As I was looking at the pictures the object went out of my vision. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Light
Yosemite National Park — I did not notice the object as I was taking a series of photos in Yosemite National Park in California at 12:15 PM, on April 15, 2016.To my surprise when I recently reviewed the photos I discovered the object.
It does not appear in any other photos before or after this particular photo. I am including the original photo, a detail photo of the object and the camera information. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Huron— This was recorded from my dash cam on May 7th 2016 about 3:00 hours. On I-5 around the 325 mile mark, heading south. I was traveling with three other trucks that also saw this craft. I first saw a light sweep the sky on the right side of this video frame. One swept across the sky and a second one occurred a few seconds later. A couple more second passed and we saw bright white lights maybe two miles out in front of us, very low to the ground. It crossed the interstate and climbed and started to circle heading east and returned to roughly the same place it crossed the interstate and crossed back going west, and then the lights disappeared.
I was talking on the CB with the other driver about the strange way the object was maneuvering at such a low altitude. I noticed lights reflecting on my passenger window and I saw this craft coming straight at me. I thought it was going to crash into me. It had three very bright white spotlights across the front. As it approached it slowed and banked almost in place and came up over my truck. It had no wings, no marking lights, no fuselage, and no tail. Note: check out the video here Website. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer Website
Missouri Triangle
Richmond Heights – On May 3, 2016, my family and I just left the St. Louis Cardinal game, we were driving west on Highway 40, and was the first to see it. About four miles southwest, I could see an extremely bright row of lights. Four round, very large set of lights were side by side. I pointed it out to my husband and son. My husband said “It’s just lights on top of a building or crane, no big deal”… As we got closer to it we realized there were NO buildings or cranes around! The lights were straight forward like headlights. As soon as we got onto Highway 270 my husband pulled to the shoulder so I could try and get some better pictures of this “floating light tower”. It seemed like it was less than a quarter of a mile to the right of us at that point. Since we were stopped and now looking up at this thing we realized it was moving really slow. We could now see its triangular shape with two in front toward the outer tip of the wings and two toward the top center. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Orb
Manahawkin — Home security system sounded an alarm on May 8, 2016, when viewed, it showed a white orb about the size of a grapefruit moving in an intelligent way on top of our vehicle.
It reappears again 34 seconds in video then vanishes. This is not a hoax or a joke or an effort to gain fame fortune or any notoriety.
I would like an explanation! I have never seen a UFO in my life. The video must be viewed and was captured by the security system not by me and is untouched and not modifies in any way whatsoever. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Mexico Sightings
Sunland– On May 7, 2016, I was recording a video outside my house just for fun. The video was recorded with an iPod 5th generation. I had put my iPod down still on recording and seconds later it fell down due to the wind and it led the device to aim at the sky. When I watched the video 10 minutes later I realized that when it was recording the sky it caught a really fast moving object.
At first I thought it was just a bird, but then I thought how could a bird fly that fast. I took a screenshot at the screen at the exact moment the object appeared. I zoomed in and it looked very much like a UFO. The video was uploaded to YouTube, I slow motioned it and added the zoomed in images. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Aztec– On Tuesday May 3rd, 2016 at 8:50 am, I was outside of my house photographing buzzards as they flew past my home. After I snapped off a few images of one particular bird, they flew off. After they were out of sight I decided to take a quick peek at the panel on my Canon Rebel T3i camera. When I opened the viewer on my camera I came across this one.
The bird itself was not carrying anything as I tracked the same bird for a few minutes and never noticed anything other than the bird and a blue beautiful sky. I was photographing in a northwest direction with no sound. All other frames have nothing in them but the bird. After 16 years behind the lens, I am just really stunned at this object in the frame.
I have run this image through a series of filters; a standard light monochrome, blue and green filters. Separately, each has revealed a great portion of the detail in that object. The object in a monochrome tone reveals a disc like object moving at what seems an incredible speed. My camera shutter was set at 1/250 and I was tracking the bird and the UFO at very different speeds in different directions. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Lights
Clinton Park — This thing freaked me out because it was ejecting orbs drones out of it. Once I broke out the camera it disappeared…I have never seen this type of anti-gravity air-craft in person before. This thing looks like a plane without wings. It made no sound –
We are documenting anti-gravity technology from a Target Individuals perspective. The US Shadow Government is autonomous tracking Americans illegally without the public knowledge. The US Military Industrial Complex is now using A.R.V anti-gravity technology in commercial aircraft and stars disguised as UFOs as a cover for black projects.
Many airline companies are being used as a cover for these black government spy programs. This is all part of the Eugenic Trans human agenda. Millions have been abducted with out there knowledge.Many hidden truths will be uncovered through the knowledge of this technology. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Orb
Boonville – I went outside to walk my dog around 2:40 am on May 8, 2016, and initially heard a hum. I went around the side of house and noticed an orb was not moving north in a normal fashion. It was not a helicopter.
I hurried back in to get my camera 300 mm lens and got fairly good pictures and video. When I got back out the object had hardly moved it was maybe a mile away but up less than 1500 feet.
My flash went off a few times as the wind picked up and they were causing uncontrollable movements, like I had to lock down to keep from over steering my body as I was swaying and twisting. Also I had an unusual strong sex drive while I was filming and the object started moving side to side, east then west.
Then while adjusting the camera it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Disc
Springfield— This was found, while I was doing a simple Google search of a house my family was looking into buying. The address listed in the details of this report is where the object can be seen, while doing a simple Google search.
Below this I will list a direct link that should bring you to the site in which the said house is listed as sold. Just simply use the street view to look at the sky and follow a “streak” at the end is some kind of “red object”.
I am only looking for an explanation as to what this could be. Just click the link I have provided, or as I’ve said simply Google the address of the house here in Springfield Ohio & look for the link in this report. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Green Orb
Lebanon — On May 6, 2016, I was outside with my dogs taking pictures of a sunset. I noticed these orbs while photographing but could not see them with the naked eye.
I tried to edit them and in the one, I can see a grey black looking being with the green orb. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Red Light
Nathalie – I could not clear the picture on April 28, 2016, the object was very visible to me and two other people with me. It was about two weeks ago, It was triangle shaped object moving very slow and appeared to hover just above the tree line.
It was being followed by a regular shaped jet, also black. They circled around the area about three times. Not sure if it was a UFO or military but it just seemed very strange. As it seemed to hover I took a picture as it slowly turned to the north and slowly pulled away.
That is when I noticed the regular craft behind it. I thought I took a video but must have gotten excited and forgot to hit record. It was so low to the ground I was scared. We were being invaded by another country. All I know is that it was large and posted it on Facebook and another friend saw it. I did not get a good picture either, just red light. And another friend posted that it landed in a field behind her home.

Washington Triangle
Turnbull — My friends and I go to school at Eastern Washington University which is about 5 to 10 minutes away from where we saw this UFO on April 28, 2016. We decided to take a late night drive down to Turnbull Wildlife Refuge. We parked the car on the side of the road where it opened up from thick woods to an open grassland. We were talking and see a bright light rotating like a lighthouse light. We found this odd since it was so high up in the sky and as it got closer we realized the object had a beam of light coming off of it like a searchlight and it was scanning the ground like it was looking for something. It looked like a spotlight of some sort. The object kept moving quickly in all sorts of directions like it was dancing in the sky and this is what freaked us out the most. It was so agile in its movements that it almost didn’t seem possible for something to move so quickly with such sudden change in direction. It kept getting closer and eventually stopped and hovered about 500 feet in the sky and about a half mile away from us. Its search beam kept scanning and eventually the beam crossed paths with our parked car.The beam pointed straight in front of the object and the object started moving forward towards us and we were in a panic. The object gracefully flew over us at a very slow speed and it made very little sound and its light beam pointed straight like a normal plane. We had the sunroof open and it flew directly over us and stopped what it was doing and tried to fly over us like a normal plane. It was a giant triangle about the size of 4 school busses put together and it had a green light at each of the triangles points along with its very bright search beam. Note Depiction of Triangle. Note: The witnesses quite likely did not see a helicopter. Helicopters would be louder and the object flew right over their vehicle. Also the triangular shape and green lights would rule out a helicopter sighting. I have received similar reports from “spooked motorists” in remote locations in Eastern Washington. Conclusion This is an unidentified. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Canada Light
Saint Catherines– On May 9, 2016, I was parking a truck out back and got out I looked up and saw this light. It was not a white light but more of an orange glow the plane travel to Buffalo was behind me going east. This thing was going south I didn’t see blinking lights like the planes going by and the hazy cloud cover it disappeared.
I waited to see if it was going to keep its slow direct travel path to clear skies but it never did. I started taping b/c I couldn’t recognize it. I’m a us vet and worked for five years at Detroit Airport. I know what a plane looks like I said I need to tape this and took a picture of before and after. It made no noise as later I could hear planes afterwards.

Germany Triangle
Wittenberg/SA– Twelve years ago, my girlfriend and my best friend and I, were sitting in a field near the Elbe River on August 10, 2004. I heard on tv that a meteorite shower could be seen in Eastern Germany and told it to my friends. After midnight we counted 30 glowing meteorites, and then my girlfriend stands up and said, “Hey guys there are three red lights and they are coming in direction to us.” At this moment my friend and I could see a triangle-formed black thing with three lights that was pulsating. This thing became bigger and bigger on its way to us.And I remember that I saw this form also in a tv-documentation about the Belgium UFO-events! It was very slow, maybe a speed of 10 km/hour, or more! When the UFO was directly in front of us the UFO became slowly and its lights changed their colors-red-orange-yellow-green-blue-white, and we were overwhelmed. Now the UFO was standing still above us! I began to speak: Hey i’m peaceful and your friend, please take me with you. We got a little scared as the dark triangle UFO is above us. And then after a few minutes, two different lights in the middle of the UFO began pulsating in red and white. And the UFO was flying away with the same speed.We saw it over the factory before we lost the sighting contact. We are not alone…we are like insects under watch. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Macedonia Cylinder
Prilep — The witness writes, “I took a photo of a UFO object on April 17, 2016. Cylinder shaped subject was below the Moon at 3:07 PM.”
Palmerston — A man reports a sighting north of Palmerston of an object he could not identify. It was widely reported in the NZ media as a number of people saw it. I am pretty sure it was in the early months of 1985. It was a lovely, quiet, still summer night. I saw it while driving up the Stockton Millerton Mines Road where I lived in the Millerton village. I had a witness in the car with me. This was about 10.45 PM. The Stockton mine and the Millerton village is in Northern Buller. I do remember my head felt a bit weird the next morning. Not sure if others felt that. When I saw it, it was quite low down. I felt I should give this info for your file. I have not seen anything like it since. Thanks to Website.
Taiwan Lights
Taroko National Park — I was getting a military course in Taiwan, when we visited the, started taking pictures of the mountains on April 20, 2008. There are monasteries that are nestled on the mountain but I did not notice anything strange on a fairly clear day. It is noteworthy that these mountains are mostly granite.
Once I returned to my country Costa Rica my children downloaded he digital camera photos and passed to the computer noticing two boxes where it is observed what appears to be two objects in motion are surrounded by a circle lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK England Light
East Preston — Light in the sky was not visible to the naked eye but was caught in a photograph on 6th May 2016 one of the hottest days of the year on the south coast of England. At 2052 local time, my wife and I were standing in our back garden at twilight. I decided to take a photograph of our blossoming cherry tree with my Kodak FZ151, 16 Megapixel camera. As I took the photo I noticed a very bright white dot on the camera’s LCD screen. I looked up but there was nothing visible there.
I took another photograph about 5 – 10 seconds later, but could not replicate this white light so I assume that it could not been a reflection. I was very surprised when I looked at the photograph on my laptop’s screen.
The white dot was considerably bigger than I expected. Upon zooming in, it appears that the light is shaped like a “V” on its side. I note that one “leg” of the “V” is not as bright as the other. The position of the light in the image is above the English Channel. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Why We Must Explore the Final Frontier: An Interview with Alan Stern
Why We Must Explore the Final Frontier: An Interview with Alan Stern
IN BRIEF
Alan Stern, the man who brought us to Pluto, explains the value of venturing beyond the bounds of Earth and entering the unknown.
Every species has a special trait, an evolutionary advantage that allows them to survive and thrive…to keep ahead of the predators and on top of the prey. Our special trait should really come as no great surprise: It’s the human brain.
More specifically, it is our ability to explore and discover, to seek out new information and then communicate what we learn to others of our kind who can build upon (and improve) it. Ultimately, there are few who understand the importance of this knowledge and exploration better than Alan Stern.
After all, Stern is a man who (quite literally) took humanity to new worlds.
PLUTO: A VOYAGE INTO THE UNKNOWN
For over 70 years, Pluto was the 9th planet in our solar system. Then, in 2003, the International Astronomical Union decided to reclassify this tiny world as a dwarf planet. But the demotion didn’t make it any less interesting.
It lives some 5.8 billion km (3.6 billion miles) out in our solar system. For comparison, Earth is just 150 million km (92 million miles) from the solar surface—meaning that Pluto is a staggering 40 times farther from the center of the solar system than our own planet.
Stern is head of the New Horizons mission to Pluto, which had its historic flyby just a year ago (in the summer of 2015). Recently, I met with Stern at the 2016 Edison Awards. There, he highlighted the value of knowledge and of exploring the unknown—and he emphasized the monumental feats that we can accomplish when, as a society and as a world, we truly invest in these things.
WHY LEAVE HOME?
Image credit: NASA/New Horizons
When asked about the value of venturing out into the cosmos to explore, Stern was quick to note that such enterprises are worthy for a number of reasons, but that, for him, two stick out in particular: “Beyond the obvious—that we’re creating new knowledge—we create a greater society. We do something which is, in the case of great exploration, historic. It’s something people read about, not just days and weeks later, but decades and centuries later. It makes a mark for our time of what we aspire to be, which is a greater society.”
In short, the things that we invest in (whether that is sports, or war, or science) are a direct reflection of both the values that we hold and the society that we are currently building.
Stern adds that, while globe spanning enterprises obviously impact society as a whole, they also have a great influence on individuals. He asserts, “It inspires. Particularly, it turns young people on to science, technology, engineering, and math careers, and it inspires them to be a part of the knowledge and the tech economy.”
Stern continues by highlighting the significance of such encouragement: “Nothing in what we do with the technology, the management, the innovation, nothing in the science that we can accomplish is as important…nothing is as important as the way that we can touch people with inspirational projects like this.”
He concludes by noting that, in these respects, through such exploration and discovery, “We do something a little larger than life, we create the future.”
When people can live two or three times the current lifespan, I think it’s going to change our society in fundamental ways
Of course, there is still a lot of space left to explore, but when I asked Stern the next great project that he’s most excited about, he didn’t mention a trip to Europa to search for alien life or the first off world colony—he spoke about humanity.
“On the very largest front, the things that I’m most excited about have to do with life extension, because when people can live two or three times the current lifespan, I think it’s going to change our society in fundamental ways,” Stern asserts. And he continued by noting the ways in which longevity will fundamentally alter how we think and live: “The way that we care about the environment because we have stick with it over a lot longer period, the way you care about the future, and about how we all get along with each other…I think all those things are going to be radically transformed by life extension. I think it’s one of the most exciting frontiers in science.”
And in the end, this is really what all science and discovery is about—making us better humans.

EXCLUSIVE: UK's top-secret UFO X-Files to be released by MoD within DAYS
EXCLUSIVE: UK's top-secret UFO X-Files to be released by MoD within DAYS
CONFIDENTIAL government reports into Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings - dubbed the "British X-Files" - could be made publicly available within DAYS.
Will the files reveal the truth about aliens visiting Earth?
Alien hunters, who believe the files kept secret by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for more than 30 years could shed new light on the infamous Renbdlesham UFO case, were given the a boost after officials confirmed the records would transfer to the National Archives this month.
UFO researchers, backed by a House of Lords peer, have been fighting for the release of 18 top secret Ministry of Defence (MoD) files about UFO sightings and government investigations.
The Government has long faced claims of an alien cover-up from conspiracy theorists when their release was stalled at the end of 2013. They were again stalled this March.
Some investigators claim the files could provide key evidence of extra-terrestrial life visiting the UK and of specific information about famous controversial sightings such as the Rendlesham Forest incident - a series of reported sightings by military officers of unexplained lights and the alleged landing of one or more craft in Suffolk in late December 1980.
The Redlesham Forest incident, which is alleged to have taken place near RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, in 1980, saw US Airman First Class John Burroughs, who was stationed there, exposed to radiation after a mystery "UFO visitation".
GETTY
The files could be with the National Archives within days
I can confirm that we are currently negotiating a date around the 25th of this month for transferring these files which are in the DEFE 24 series.
MoD spokesman
Last summer he asked in a Parliamentary question: "In relation to the 18 Ministry of Defence files on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) that have yet to be released to the public, what is the originating division of the file reference M9/18; what is the remit of that division in relation to UAP; and what is their latest estimate of when the 18 files will be passed to the National Archives, and then released to the public."
Defence Minister Earl Howe replied: "The originating branch of file reference MO9/18 relates to ministers' private offices. The latest estimate of when the 18 files will be delivered to the National Archives is before March 2016.
"The National Archives will make the necessary judgement about when they release these files to the public."
Nick Pope, who used to investigate the existence of UFOs for the MoD, said the files should contain some fascinating sightings.
However, referring to what is often called the most famous UFO claim in history - sparked by claims an alien spaceship crashed in New Mexico, US, in 1947 - Mr Pope added the soon-to-be-released files are probably not a "UK Roswell-style UFO in a hangar style cover up".
He has since won damages from the American military, but still wants answers about what happened and hopes they will be in the new files.
Alien hunters are confident these records could prove if extra-terrestrial life actually exists, as these were the most secretive files held in the private offices of various Cabinet ministers.
Although the files are being released to the National Archives, it is not yet clear when they will be available for public inspection.
Lord Black of Brentwood has been fighting for their release.
When the release of the files were stalled in 2014, which the MoD blamed on "additional processing requirements", Mr Pope sympathised with alien researchers.
He said at the time: "This massive delay will have conspiracy theorists up in arms. It looks like the MoD is stalling."
Mr Pope worked at the MoD for 21 years, but was specifically assigned to investigate UFOs for a three-year period.
He said: "Having worked on the MoD's UFO project I'm sorry to say that we don't have any crashed spaceships hidden away in some RAF hangar, as some believe, but we do have some fascinating and unexplained cases in our files."
The latest news of the files was revealed by alien hybrid researcher Miguel Mendonça via Facebook today.
He posted: "I just received this update on the release of 18 formerly classified UK UFO files from the MOD FOI Team:
"'Thank you for your request regarding an update on the remaining UFO files due to be transferred to the National Archives (TNA).
"I can confirm that we are currently negotiating a date around the 25th of this month for transferring these files which are in the DEFE 24 series.
"The files should be available to view once TNA’s accession team have completed their processes.'"

Hillary Clinton and UFOs: The political press gets serious about the ‘ET candidate’
Hillary Clinton and UFOs: The political press gets serious about the ‘ET candidate’
Former President Bill Clinton Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton have both publicly discussed UFOs and extraterrestrials, and it has prompted some intense new interest from the press. (Associated Press) more >
Media coverage of what has come to be called the “Hillary Clinton UFO story” has gone from quiet mentions in lesser known publications to bodacious stories from major news organizations.
In the past 48 hours, both The New York Times and The Times of London have addressed a complicated, mystifying narrative which has emerged in past months. Mrs. Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, senior advisor John Podesta and even President Obama have publicly acknowledged UFOs, extraterrestrials and other topics previously confined to the X-Files realm.
“UFO fans are rooting for Hillary Clinton to win the White House, hoping that her avid interest in theories of alien life will lead to secret U.S. files on the subject being made public,” the New York paper noted Tuesday.
On Thursday, the news out of London was this: “Mrs. Clinton has vowed that barring any threats to national security, she would open up government files on the subject, a shift from President Obama, who typically dismisses the topic as a joke. Her position has elated U.F.O. enthusiasts, who have declared Mrs. Clinton the first ‘E.T. candidate’.”
MSNBC, Discovery Channel, The Boston Globe, The London Daily Telegraph, The Weekly Standard and a dozen other publications also covered the story Thursday. This year alone, the topic generated some 350 news accounts.
Stephen Bassett, a registered lobbyist and “disclosure” activist who has urged the White House, military and federal government to release official records about such phenomena, deems the “political media coverage of the extraterrestrial presence issue” unprecedented.
Mr. Bassett has followed Mrs. Clinton’s link to it all since 2001, his intense interest punctuated by press conferences, public events and congressional outreach. He also founded a research group and XXPAC - the “Extraterrestrial Political Action Committee.”
Mr. Bassett, along with increasing cadre of journalists now following the story, say the former secretary of state’s interest in the subject can be traced back 21 years ago to her personal meeting with billionaire Laurance S. Rockefeller, who had long urged U.S. leaders to disclose some facts about the reported crash of a UFO in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.
“Secretary Clinton will not make it into the White House without discussing the Rockefeller initiative with the American people,” Mr. Bassett said in an interview.
The press, meanwhile, is now covering the Clinton/ET connection from a unique political angle, rather than as a sensational novelty designed to titillate the public and ramp up social media.
“Trust me. This is not about ‘clicks,’” said Mr. Bassett, referring to the goal of many journalists who seek to increase the online reader “clicks” for their work.
In a recent development that could easily be part of a Men in Black movie, a woman claiming to be a former Nasa employee revealed that she saw humans on Mars in 1979.
According to a Yahoo News report, the woman, called ‘Jackie’, called in to American radio station Coast to Coast AM with the claim – which reignited gossip over a ‘secret space programme’ kept from the general public.
Jackie claims to have seen space-suited humans via a live video feed from Mars – but apparently, the information was covered up by Nasa bosses.
Jackie claimed to have been part of a ‘downstairs’ team working on downlink telemetry from the Viking Lander – the first vehicle to send back images from the surface of Mars.
“I wonder if you could solve a 27-year-old mystery for me,” she asked the presenter. “That old Viking rover was running around. Then I saw two men in space suits – not the bulky suits we normally used, but they looked protective. They came over the horizon walking to the Viking Explorer.”
As per Jackie, she along with six others rushed to the main Nasa office to report what they had witnessed, only to have the door shut in their faces.
“We ran upstairs – but they locked the door, and taped paper over the door so we couldn’t see. My question is – were they our guys?”
None of the other employees who were allegedly with Jackie when she spotted the aliens have corroborated this story – but UFO sites have joined it with other reports of a ‘secret space programme’ which began when humans landed on Mars in 1968.
“Conspiracy theorists believe that this is being kept from the ordinary public for various sinister reasons – and that NASA and other governments are covertly in contact with aliens,” states the Yahoo report.
“In November 2005, a contact called ‘anonymous’, who said they worked for the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) started sending information about an extraordinary alien exchange programme, called Project Serpo. Basing his claims on a 3,000-page document written in the late 1970s, he boldly claimed that six aliens were recovered from the Roswell crash.
“Claims that aliens living and/or dead were recovered from the Roswell crash are nothing new, but in this case it was stated that an alien survivor from the crash, called EBE 1, helped to organise twelve specially trained people to visit his home planet Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli solar system. This mission occurred in 1965 and they remained there until 1978. During their stay two of them died, two remained on the planet and the rest, after returning to Earth, have died because of the high levels of radiation they were exposed to on Serpo.”
The KGB Discovers Mummified Body of Ancient Alien ‘God’
The KGB Discovers Mummified Body of Ancient Alien ‘God’
In 1961, the KGB launched Project ISIS, a top-secret program designed to obtain alien technology. It culminated with the discovery of a 13,000 year-old alien body inside a tomb in the Giza Plateau in Egypt.
In the early years of the Cold War, Russian military officials feared the United States had gained a tactical advantage through reverse-engineering alien technology, presumably by studying UFOs such as the one that crashed near Roswell. Determined to possess advanced technology themselves, the Russians used their intelligence services to locate several places where extraterrestrial artifacts might be found.
One of these places was an ancient tomb located in the Giza Plateau in Egypt. They based their search on an old legend about the Tomb of the Visitor God.
As the story goes, two Bedouins accidentally stumbled upon the ancient resting place of an alien visitor. Immediately after entering the tomb, the two men fell ill and were hospitalized. Before they succumbed to the mysterious illness, they were able to give details about the tomb’s whereabouts.
The Egyptian authorities traded this information with their Russian allies, who wanted to reach the Tomb of the Visitor God before the CIA found out about it. As a result, they quickly organized a Project ISIS expedition. A group of Soviet Egyptologists, scientists and military personnel were assisted by their Egyptian counterparts in locating the tomb. This information is verified by Russian scientist Viktor Ivanvich, who had access to classified KGB documents:
There is no doubt that a small group of Russian scientists with military experts have discovered a tomb in Egypt in 1961. But in the documents it has never been revealed exactly what was found inside the sarcophagus. Only sources of the highest ranks of the KGB know that we have found the remains of an alien creature that died in Egypt 10,000 before Christ.”
The Russian-Egyptian expedition managed to uncover the tomb and reportedly secured numerous artifacts. According to a report to a senior officer of the KGB, 15 boxes of artifacts were taken from the Tomb of the Visitor God.
Hieroglyphic inscriptions were copied and translated. Among the inscriptions was a prophecy foretelling about the return of a winged alien god. The report also mentions the presence of a protective barrier:
During the inspection of the walls we noticed a strange repulsive force coming out of the walls. We could not find any scientific explanation.”
Most presidential candidates spend much of their time talking about policy issues, making campaign promises, or impugning their opponents. However in the current race both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have gone somewhat off-topic and into fringe beliefs including conspiracies.
While Trump has outright endorsed several conspiracy theories—President Obama’s “fake” birth certificate being a prime example—Clinton has been more non-committal, but she has made public statements about UFOs, including recently on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
The “New York Times” noted that Clinton’s “unusual knowledge about extraterrestrials struck a small but committed cohort of voters. Mrs. Clinton has vowed that barring any threats to national security, she would open up government files on the subject…. Her position has elated U.F.O. enthusiasts, who have declared Mrs. Clinton the first ‘E.T. candidate.’”
Previous government officials have made efforts to bring any extant UFO files to light. New Mexico Congressman Steve Schiff, for example, made efforts in the 1980s to find out what the Air Force knew about possible alien visitation.
In March Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta was quoted in a “Huffington Post” story as saying he’d convinced the candidate to declassify UFO files: “I’ve talked to Hillary about that. There are still classified files that could be declassified. I think I’ve convinced her that we need an effort to kind of go look at that and declassify as much as we can, so that people have their legitimate questions answered. More attention and more discussion about unexplained aerial phenomena can happen without people—who are in public life, who are serious about this—being ridiculed.”
Podesta added that “the American people, quite frankly, can handle the truth.”
Podesta is referring to an unanswered question that has vexed UFO believers for decades: If extraterrestrials have in fact visited Earth why would the world’s governments bother to hide evidence of it? With so many photos, videos, eyewitness reports, and other evidence (of varying credibility) why not just acknowledge people’s suspicions?
The typical conspiracy theorist answer is that the world’s governments have hidden evidence of extraterrestrial life because the public “isn’t ready to know” or “can’t handle the truth,” that somehow knowledge that aliens have been abducting people, inserting anal probes in them, making designs in wheat fields, and so on is too psychologically or socially shocking for the public. UFO conspiracy theorists claim that if the U.S. government revealed what it knows about aliens the public would panic and society would crumble. Or something.
However there’s no reason to think that’s true. The fact is that most people already think that extraterrestrials not only have visited Earth but may even be secretly living among us. According to a 1997 CNN poll, “80 percent of Americans think the government is hiding knowledge of the existence of extraterrestrial life forms. About 54 percent believe intelligent life exists outside Earth. Sixty-four percent of the respondents said that aliens have contacted humans, half said they’ve abducted humans, and 37 percent said they have contacted the U.S. government.”
In other words, if Hilary Clinton’s administration fessed up to having clear evidence that aliens had been in contact with Earthlings, the most likely result would not be worldwide, crazy-eyed panic but instead a collective shrug, another in a long list of things the government finally admitted to, from the top-secret Project Mogul spy balloon that crashed in Roswell in 1947 to NSA spying.
If the government really is hiding UFOs, the cat’s out of the bag and most people suspect that’s the case anyway. Perhaps the next president will reveal what the government knows about aliens, but the irony is that no matter what Clinton does if elected president—no matter how much she reveals (short of compromising national security, of course)—she will not satisfy the conspiracy theorists.
If she investigates and finds that there are in fact no alien bodies or crashed saucers being studied, she will be accused of continuing the decades-long government cover-up. If, on the other hand, she declassifies all the information and opens up Area 51 to public tours, UFO buffs still wouldn’t believe a word of it, instead dismissing it as a disinformation campaign designed to hide the real truth.
Revised estimates of the size of a dwarf planet show that it’s actually the third-largest dwarf planet in the outer Solar System. It’s about two-thirds the size of Pluto, and completes a rotation once every 45 hours.
SIZE MATTERS
Sometimes astronomers make mistakes. It happens.
Case in point, a team of astronomers have learned that the size of an object in the far reaches of the outer Solar System, called 2007 OR10, was significantly underestimated—by about 250 km (155 mi).
Of course, they can be forgiven for such mistakes. First, this is how science works. Second, objects in these dim depths of the Solar System are notoriously difficult to measure. The immense distances involved are one problem, and so are the (frequently bizarre) surface compositions of these planetoids. They can often have a very low albedo, or reflectivity, which can make them seem smaller than they really are.
2007 OR10, which was discovered (unsurprisingly) in 2007 by a team scouring the outer Solar System for new members, has quite an erratic orbit, coming almost as close as Neptune but swinging as far away as its current orbit, which is twice the distance to Pluto.
Original estimates suggested the object had a diameter of 1,280 km (795 mi); but by combining data from the ESA/NASA infrared Herschel Space Observatory and the current K2 phase of the planet-hunting Kepler Space Telescope, the team was able to revise that number. They now peg the diameter to 1,535 km (955 mi), which makes 2007 OR10 the third-largest dwarf planet in the outer Solar System.
It’s about 100 km (60 mi) larger than Makemake, the next largest icy runt in that neck of the woods; and it’s about a two-thirds the size of Pluto, which has a diameter of 2,374 km (1,475 mi). The second-largest object, Eris, is only slightly smaller than Pluto, coming in at 2,326 km (1,445 mi).

It has a very dark, very ruddy surface. It’s much darker than expected, in fact, because it’s still reflecting the same low levels of light from what’s been found to be a much larger surface area. This distinguishes 2007 OR10 from most other objects of its particular species, as they’re usually brighter. Its red color, which some think might be caused by methane ices on the surface, puts it firmly in the august company of its bigger brothers, Eris and Pluto, which display a similar hue. This suggests its gravity is strong enough to retain volatile methane, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen ices.
It also has a very slow “day,” taking about 45 hours to complete one rotation.
By using the Kepler telescope to research the planetoid’s properties, the team has shown that the K2 mission can do some very important work outside of its primary mission of extrasolar planet hunting—it can tell us a little about what’s going on right here in our own neighborhood.
Meanwhile, it’s about time to give poor, overlooked 2007 OR10 a proper name. That’ll be up to its discoverers—Meg Schwamb, Mike Brown, and David Rabinowitz.
“The names of Pluto-sized bodies each tell a story about the characteristics of their respective objects. In the past, we haven’t known enough about 2007 OR10 to give it a name that would do it justice,” Schwamb observes.
“I think we’re coming to a point where we can give 2007 OR10 its rightful name,” and it’s about time.
After many decades of studying the red planet, scientists now actually admit that there is a very high possibility that an impact of a asteroid or comet altered the the Red Planet completely!
Compared to Planet Earth, Mars has many impact craters which isn’t that strange since Mars is in a very uncomfortable position in our solar System, right next to the Asteroid belt. Because of this Mars is constantly being bombarded by asteroids, unlike Earth Mars does not have a bigger moon to shield it against incoming asteroids! (the moon is kind of like earths very own Goal Keeper!).
So looking back into our home planets history we know that the Earth has been impacted in the past by large space rocks, and even some of those immense impacts have possibly changed the history of our planet too! I guess one of the best examples of this is the Chicxulub impact crater located in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico (see image below) which many leading scientists believe to have been the number one reason for the extinction of theDinosaurs.
The Chicxulub impact crater
So lets get this right people, if this happened here on Planet Earth, could something similar of happened on Mars? In fact on the red planet we can find an extremely interesting impact crater located in the Lyot region, and it is approx. 125 miles in diameter (that is one BIG crater!). The sheer area of this huge impact crater tells us just how powerful the impact must of been which could have been one of the main causes why Mars today is literally just a “desert”. A comet strike like this may very well of caused a profound disruption to Mars’ very own planetary system. A hit like this would have been an absolutely devastating planet climate-changing event.
Did a massive Comet strike destroys Mars’ very own atmosphere!?
So lets put this into perspective and the main question has to be “is it possible that long before losing its atmosphere, Mars sustained life??” Even potential civilizations that once called the red planet their “home”? If this is what happened, then where did the Martian’s go? and most importantly did they survive? Did they possibly escape before these cataclysmic events? And if this is all true then does this mean that Mars could be connected in any way to Earth? These are just some of many questions that desperately NEED to be answered.
July 20, 1976 – after a ten-month journey from Earth, Viking I reached its destination, the red planet. The images that Viking I sent back to Earth were pretty damn amazing, and some of the impressive images showed that Mars really was not that different from Earth. Many regions on Mars resemble places on Earth, like the Death Valley. But where the story about Viking I gets really interesting is after it performed several tests in search for life on the red planet. Viking I returned back some very controversial results. Dr. Gil Levin designed one of the tests that the Viking probe performed, a relatively “simple” test. He explained that Microorganisms breathe just like you or I or anything else, and then they give off carbon dioxide. What NASA did is, they took a small sample of Martian soil, placed it inside a small container and this container was monitored for a week for signs of “bubbles” inside of the tube, and after seven days, the unexpected happened. The test for life on Mars was positive by criteria accepted by NASA as “bubbles” were registered inside the Viking I container – this was/is huge news!
But here is the funny/predictable thing, whilst this test had returned positive for life, other tests with different criteria came up negative. But guess what guys!? Yep good old NASA were very cautious in this matter and opted to say: “There is no proof of life on Mars“. (shock horror!).
Was Life On Mars Destroyed By Some Catastrophic Event!?
U.I.P Summary
– Many top scientists have suggested that Mars may have had an atmosphere very much similar to Earth’s atmosphere, and it got annihilated about 65 million years ago. Some have also stated that it could of possibly been some kind of ‘made’ weapon that destroyed this planet, perhaps some kind of Nuclear Weapon like we have here on Earth! Adding to these suggestions, ideas have been put together in the recent past which tell the possibility that the civilization that once inhabited Mars, very possibly fled to Earth in search for refugee. So guys does this make us the Human Race the actual “Martians” we have desperately tried to find for many years? There are some scientists that say they’ve found powerful evidence of lost civilizations on the red planet and in fact, they believe they may have discovered a nuclear signature in the Martian atmosphere that matches Earth’s after a nuclear test like I mentioned before!? According to the scientists involved there are very large traces of Xenon-129 on Mars and the only process that we know of that produces Xenon-129 is a nuclear explosion. Is this just yet another coincidence that shows how similar Mars is to Earth? Or does this actually provide evidence that Mars was very different in the past?
Perhaps all of these images on Mars of supposed statues and ‘made’ objects are very real and evidence of the Red Planets past!

Electromagnetic Effects Associated with UFOs.
Electromagnetic Effects Associated with UFOs.
EM effects are a pretty intriguing aspect of the UFO subject and there have been plenty of very strange UFO cases where electromagnetic interference with avionic systems, motors, headlights, radios (and even weapons systems) have been reported at the same time the UFO has been witnessed.
Richard Thieme brings up the subject in the presentation and the NICAP document below, ‘Electromagnetic Effects Associated with Unidentified Flying Objects’ does a good job of cataloging cases through the 1950s and exploring the subject in general – it’s said the report was circulated to several hundred interested parties including scientists and members of Congress and concluded that ‘the evidence was sufficient to warrant a more thorough investigation of UFOs, and an attempt to learn more about the E -M phenomenon through deliberate instrumentation for that purpose’.
The purpose of this booklet is to explore this one aspect of the UFO mystery: Electromagnetic effects which occurred at the same time a UFO was seen.
NARCAP’s Richard Haines has also conducted some scientific research on aircraft EM effects in the paper below and for more in depth reading then Chapter five of John McCampbell’s book ‘Ufology’ goes into more detail about stalling of vehicle motors, dimming and extinguishing of car headlights/house lights, fading or loss of radio/television reception and malfunction of compasses and watches.
FIFTY-SIX AIRCRAFT PILOT SIGHTlNGS INVOLVING ELECTROMAGNETIC EFFECTS
Richard F. Haines, Ph.D.
“Reports of anomalous aerial objects (AAO) appearing in the atmosphere continue to be made by pilots of almost every airline and air force of the world in addition to private and experimental test pilots. This paper presents a review of 56 reports of AAO in which electromagnetic effects (E-M) take place on-board the aircraft when the phenomenon is located nearby but not before it appeared or after it had departed. Reported E-M effects included radio interference or total failure, radar contact with and without simultaneous visual contact, magnetic and/or gyro-compass deviations, automatic direction finder failure or interference, engine stopping or interruption, dimming cabin lights, transponder failure, and military aircraft weapon system failure. We’re not dealing with mental projections or hallucinations on the part of the witness but with a real physical phenomenon.”

DR Steven Greer Made Contact With ET’s For French Military
DR Steven Greer Made Contact With ET’s For French Military

Dr Steven Greer is a man VERY respected throughout the world by the UFO community, and he has just made things even MORE interesting with his admittance that he helped ‘summon’ the ET’s for the French Ministry Of Defence – And he has PROOF that this actually did happen!
Dr Greer, who is a US former hospital medical emergency doctor, is determined to force World Leaders to publish ALL withheld documents on alien visitations and UFOS.
It was during a recent visit to Westminster in London that he confirmed to have worked with the French MOD with summoning the Alien Beings, leaving many people who witnessed this shocking announcement scratching their heads with this breaking news!
Steven Greer reveals a document he claims confirms French MoD officials saw aliens – Photos courtesy of Steven Greer/Daily Express
Dr Steven Greer for the very first time CONFIRMED that he had in his possession a 100% ‘genuine’ letter from the French ministry, which detailed an experiment that Dr Greer had convinced them to take part in to make contact with extra-terrestrial beings.
Dr Greer who is a medic turned leading Ufologist, who had originally set up the ‘Disclosure Project’ and the Centre for the Study of Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), has now also called out to London and members of the public across the World to “rise up and change things” by demanding an end to UFO secrecy, and for the World Leaders to stop lying and start telling the TRUTH!
Steven Greer reveals his “French MoD document” to the crowd! (Picture courtesy of Steven Greer and the Daily Express).
Dr Greer presented the crowd/the world with the paperwork which he personally claims is “the most important UFO disclosure document in existence,” during a recent seminar in London, which was also broadcast live on the internet to the world for all to see and witness.
Like many of us UFO/Truth researchers, Dr Greer has had his fair share of threats and is convinced that the ‘Men In Black’ are on to him and forever giving him a very tough time! He confirmed that French Officials had summoned an alien craft in 2010 – this was also confirmed on radar as passing overhead at 120,000 miles per hour!
Dr. Steven Greer : Twin Ships Witnessed – Vero Beach FL – January 27, 2015
It was confirmed by Dr Steven Greer that an “alien ambassador” who had came from the Andromeda galaxy, partially materialised in front of the French leaders during the experiment on a sealed-off 220-acre estate. The area at the time of this experiment/summoning had a no-fly zone above, which was to prevent any normal aircraft passing and possibly interfering with events down below.
Dr Greer went on to confirm that:
“This is not classified so I can share it with you, I did not release it before because I was just giving them time to prepare.” Confirmed Dr Greer.
The “French MoD document” he claimed was about alien contact – Courtesy of Dr Greer and French MOD.
During Dr Greers talk to a fully packed audience at the ‘Cavendish Conference Venue in Westminster’, Dr Greer made other IMPORTANT allegations including:
•He can summon aliens to earth for “peaceful contact” by tapping into a cosmic consciousness and ETs have developed technical craft so advanced they are living entities themselves
•A secretive “illegal” organisation of corrupt global and military leaders is based underground where it actually runs the world and is desperate to withhold the truth about alien visitation to avoid the collapse of religion, the economy and world leadership.
•Many world leaders and royals like US president Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron, and even Prince Charles, are not privy to the secretive information and are just “puppet leaders” put in place by the secret elite to make it appear as though we live in democracies
•Honest politicians who have pressed for disclosure have been warned off, kidnapped and even killed, but he is in talks with an unnamed major superpower (not US, UK or France) considering imminent disclosure.
•Former United Nations secretary General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar was kidnapped in 1989 by robot beings created by the corrupt elite after he began pressing for disclosure with then Russian president Mikhail Gorbachov and US president George Bush (senior)
•Elite leaders have developed technology almost as advanced as the aliens but uses it to regularly bring down UFOs to prevent contact being made
•Aliens could provide Earth with free unlimited and environmental energy supplies, but elite leaders won’t allow this because of vested interests in the fossil fuel and nuclear power industries
•Around $14trillion (Up to $200billion a year) has gone missing from the US defence budget secretly syphoned off by the corrupt elite to prevent disclosure
•Former US president Ronald Regan was in on the secret and his so-called “Star Wars” space defence programme was really to blow up hostile UFOs
•Earth astronauts are banned by higher ET civilisations from venturing any further than the Moon until we “stop killing each other”
•He once briefed 120 world and business leaders about making contact on an island of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef
The talk went on for 2 hours at Westminster
Dr Greer presented the audience with many photos from his summoning events
Dr Greer showed the audience numerous slides of what he believed were real aliens and UFOs caught beaming to Earth from potentially other dimensions. The ET’s were spotted during so-called “close encounter of the fifth kind” experiences which the Dr organises – Also known as CE-5 (please clickHERE for more)
He said that inter-stellar civilisations were often graded on levels of how advanced and enlightened they were from one upwards, but unfortunately for Earth, we only scored zero, because we keep killing each other and destroying the planet!
The ET’s are NOT impressed with Planet Earths destructive ways!
Steven Greer called for the public to rise up for disclosure
Dr Greer confirmed that:
“Our group initiates contact with people of level 300 – a bit of a gap – but once people stop lying that gap can be closed, quickly. “The French MoD contacted us, for the same reason the MoD in the US did. They wanted to know how contact made.” Said Dr Greer.
He claimed that “men in black thugs” scared off mainstream US MoD officials, of which the French officials ignored these threats, which apparently led to nasty contact from aliens.
Dr Greer then made a call to arms to paranormal enthusiasts to try and make contact with aliens to get the authorities off his back. He confirmed: “If we all do it they can’t keep tracks on us all.”
More UFOs shown to his audience at Westminster.
UFO summoning with the use of laser pens at night.
“The real power is with all of us together, that they cannot stop, if we squeeze the toothpaste it will come out fast enough.” Dr Greer said.
U.I.P SUMMARY – First things first us guys at U.I.P have an incredible amount of respect for Dr Greer and are hopefully lining him up for an interview in late October, live from his ranch in the states. But, interestingly Dr Greer was recently accused of actually working for the CIA by an unnamed leading counter-conspiracist.
It was written in a recent post by Alien Embryo on Unexplained-mysteries.com, who wrote:
“Steven Greer is not who he claims to be, he is working for the CIA. The CIA knows people want answers and wants this technology made public.”
“The disclosure project is to slow people down, it was created to give people a false hope for “disclosure”. If we leave “disclosure” up to the disclosure project it will never happen.”
The newspaper that was running with this breaking news story, the Express.co.uk has actually put Dr Greer’s claims to the French MoD…..And Guess what? Yep they still have not given a response, which in itself confirms A LOT in U.I.P’s eyes!
Personally I see Dr Greer as a great leading figure in the search for the Truth about Planet Earths contact with the ET Beings and if anything we do not believe that he would ever work for the Government, if anything he could be working for the Alien Beings who are keeping a watchful eye on Planet Earth – and helping him PUSH for the TRUTH!
Some people even believe that the increase in UFO sightings around the world is caused by Dr Greer!?
We hope to be interviewing Dr Greer soon so can ask him more on this Breaking story.
MWV – U.I.P
Perhaps Dr Greer is helping Beings from other Dimensions/worlds UNITE with us all!?

Cosmic Dust on Earth Reveals Clues to Ancient Atmosphere
Cosmic Dust on Earth Reveals Clues to Ancient Atmosphere
By Charles Q. Choi, Live Science Contributor
One of 60 micrometeorites extracted from 2.7-billion-year-old limestone, from the Pilbara region in Western Australia. These micrometeorites consist of iron oxide minerals that formed when dust particles of meteoritic iron metal were oxidised as they entered Earth's atmosphere, indicating that the ancient upper atmosphere was surprisingly oxygen rich.

The oldest space dust yet found on Earth suggests that the ancient atmosphere of Earth had significantly more oxygen than previously thought, a new study finds.
Although oxygen gas currently makes up about one-fifth of Earth's air, there was at least 100,000 times less oxygen in the primordial atmosphere, researchers say. Oxygen easily reacts with other molecules, which means it readily gets bound to other elements and pulled from the atmosphere.
Previous research suggests that significant levels of oxygen gas started permanently building up in the atmosphere with the Great Oxidation Event, which occurred about 2.4 billion years ago. This event was most likely caused by cyanobacteria — microbes that, like plants, photosynthesize and release oxygen. [Infographic: Earth's Atmosphere Top to Bottom]
Most evidence regarding how much oxygen there was in Earth's air in the past concerned the lower atmosphere. Until now, scientists had no way to sample oxygen levels in Earth's ancient upper atmosphere.
In a new study, scientists analyzing tiny meteorites found that the upper reaches of the early Earth's atmosphere may not have been oxygen-poor as once thought. Instead, the ancient Earth's upper atmosphere may have possessed nearly the same amount of oxygen as it does today, the researchers said.
"With this project we have opened up a new way of investigating Earth's ancient atmosphere," said study lead author Andrew Tomkins, a geoscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
Space dust
The researchers analyzed 60 microscopic meteorites from samples of ancient limestone collected in the Pilbara region in Western Australia. These cosmic dust particles are 2.7 billion years old, the oldest yet found.
"We weren't certain that the project was going to work," Tomkins told Live Science. "The project started out as a student research project, and it was a bit of a risk to try and find micrometeorites when few other people had tried it before. I had some backup plans, but the extra tension made for a lot of excitement when we found our first micrometeorites."
The micrometeorites ranged from two to 12 times thinner than the width of an average human hair. They are cosmic spherules — remnants of meteorites the size of sand grains that broke apart during atmospheric entry. Previous research suggested that these kinds of particles melt at altitudes of about 45 to 55 miles (75 to 90 kilometers).
The scientists analyzed the micrometeorites using electron microscopes and high-energy X-rays from the Australian Synchrotron. They found that a significant portion of the iron in these meteorites had reacted with oxygen to form iron oxide minerals, which suggests that the thin upper atmosphere in which they melted was richer in oxygen than thought.
"Once we recovered the first micrometeorites, I realized that the minerals inside them were telling us that they had been oxidized in the upper atmosphere," Tomkins said. "These were essentially the first samples of our Earth's ancient upper atmosphere." [Fallen Stars: A Gallery of Famous Meteorites]
This finding was unexpected, "because it has been firmly established that the Earth's lower atmosphere was very poor in oxygen 2.7 billion years ago," study co-author Matthew Genge, a professor in the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at Imperial College London, said in a statement. "How the upper atmosphere could contain so much oxygen before the appearance of photosynthetic organisms was a real puzzle."
What could have happened?
One possible origin of this oxygen is that sunlight broke apart water vapor in the lower atmosphere into hydrogen and oxygen — the oxygen could have risen to the upper atmosphere, while the lighter hydrogen would have escaped Earth's atmosphere into outer space. Another possibility is that sunlight broke apart sulfur dioxide gas emitted from volcanoes into sulfur and oxygen — the sulfur could have condensed to form particles that fell to Earth, leaving oxygen behind, the researchers said.
"A caution — it's important to understand that the density of the atmosphere at the very high altitudes sampled by micrometeorites is extremely thin," Tomkins said. "We are not talking about generating large amounts of oxygen here, but rather elevated proportions of oxygen relative to the other gases."
It remains uncertain how the ancient upper atmosphere could have stayed oxygen-rich while the ancient lower atmosphere remained oxygen-poor. The researchers suggest that a methane haze layer may have existed between the upper and lower atmosphere, reducing mixing between them.
"Methane is thought to have been produced by early single-celled organisms known as methanogens. These exist today as well," Tomkins said. "There has been a lot of debate as to how much methane there might have been, and when it might have first arisen. The general thought is that the methane, combined with carbon dioxide, may have created an organic haze if the conditions were right."
The next step "is to try and extract micrometeorites from rocks of a range of ages, to examine how the chemistry of Earth's upper atmosphere might have changed over very long periods of geological time," Tomkins said. "It should be possible to use micrometeorites to investigate changes in atmospheric composition across very broad periods of time."
"It should also be possible to find micrometeorites on Mars," Tomkins added. "If the rovers can find them, and somehow determine their age of atmospheric entry, they could be used to investigate changes in Mars' atmosphere."
The scientists detailed their findings in the May 12 issue of the journal Nature.
Mystery of Bizarre Radar Echoes Solved, 50 Years Later
Mystery of Bizarre Radar Echoes Solved, 50 Years Later
By Jeanna Bryner, Live Science Managing Editor
Radar echoes plotted over the course of two days show how the signal emerged at dawn, descended toward the ground, and then rose again over the course of the day.

More than 50 years after weird radio echoes were detected coming from Earth's upper atmosphere, two scientists say they've pinpointed the culprit. And it's complicated.
In 1962, after the Jicamarca Radio Observatory was built near Lima, Peru, some unexplainable phenomenon was reflecting the radio waves broadcast by the observatory back to the ground to be picked up by its detectors. The mysterious cause of these echoes was sitting at an altitude of between 80 and 100 miles (130 and 160 kilometers) above sea level.
"As soon as they turned this radar on, they saw this thing," study researcher Meers Oppenheim, of the Center for Space Physics at Boston University, said, referring to the anomalous echo. "They saw all sorts of interesting phenomena that had never been seen before. Almost all of it was explained within a few years." [In Photos: Mysterious Radar Blob Puzzles Meteorologists]
Peculiar radar echoes
Though the other phenomena detected by the observatory got explanations, these radar echoes continued to baffle scientists.
To see what was happening at that altitude, researchers at the time sent rockets, equipped with antennas and particle detectors, through the region. The instruments, which were designed to detect radar waves, "saw almost nothing," Oppenheim said.
Adding more peculiarity to the puzzle, the phenomenon showed up only during daylight hours, vanishing at night. The echo would appear at dawn every day at about 100 miles (160 km) above the ground, before descending to about 80 miles (130 km) and getting stronger. Then at Noon, the echo would start to rise back again toward its starting point at 100 miles above the ground. When plotted on a graph, the echoes appeared as a necklace shape.

And in 2011, during a partial solar eclipse seen over the National Atmospheric Research Laboratory in India, the echo went silent.
"And then there was a solar flare, and it sort of went a little nuts," Oppenheim said. "There was a solar flare, and the echo got really strong."
The sun takes charge
Now, with a lot of supercomputing effort, Oppenheim and Yakov Dimant, also at the Center for Space Physics, have simulated the bizarre radar echoes to find the culprit — the sun. [Infographic: Explore Earth's Atmosphere, Top to Bottom]
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun, it seems, slams into the ionosphere (the part of Earth's upper atmosphere located between 50 and 370 miles, or 80 and 600 km, above sea level), where the radio echoes were detected, they said. Then, the radiation, in the form of photons (particles of light), strips molecules in that part of the atmosphere of their electrons, resulting in charged particles called ions — primarily, positively charged of their electrons, resulting in charged particles called ions, primarily positively charged oxygen — and a free electron (a negatively charged particle that is not attached to an atom or molecule).
That ultra-energized electron, or photoelectron, zips through the atmosphere, which, at this altitude, is much cooler than the photoelectron, Oppenheim said.
Making waves
Using a computer simulation, the scientists allowed these high-energy electrons to interact with other, less energized particles.

Because these high-energy electrons are racing through a cool, slow environment in the ionosphere, so-called kinetic plasma instabilities (turbulence, in a sense) occur. The result: The electrons start vibrating with different wavelengths.
"One population of very energetic particles moving through a population of much less energetic particles — it's like running a violin bow across the strings. The cold population will start developing resonant waves," Oppenheim explained.
"The next step is that those electron waves have to cause the ions to start forming waves too, and they do," Oppenheim said.
Though this last step isn't clearly understood, he explained that periodic waves of ions bunch up with no dominant wavelength winning out. "It's a whole set of wavelengths; it's a whole froth of wavelengths," he said.
That "froth" of wavelengths was strong enough to reflect radio waves back to the ground and to form the mysterious radar echoes.
"The reason it wasn't figured out for a long time is that it's a complicated mechanism," Oppenheim said.
As for why the rockets missed the bizarre echoes, Oppenheim pointed to the messy nature of the waves.
"Turns out, it looks like what the rockets saw is what we see with our simulation," he said. "You don't see strong coherent waves. What you see is sort of a froth of low-level waves, above the noise of thermal material," and those waves are sort of like "foam on the top of sea waves," he added.
BANNED DISNEY UFO DOCUMENTARY – UNEDITED – ALIEN ENCOUNTERS
BANNED DISNEY UFO DOCUMENTARY – UNEDITED – ALIEN ENCOUNTERS
This film was shown only once, and with no advance notice on stations in only five US cities. The original Michael Eisner intro hit me right in the nostalgia.
Lost Walt Disney UFO Documentary, Alien Encounters: In March of 1995, Walt Disney Television aired an intriguing UFO special. This highly unusual UFO video special presents UFOs and alien visitation to our planet as a matter of fact.
At first glance, the special appears to be a promotion of the “New Tomorrowland” area, in particular the new “Alien Enounters” ride. This was in the mid 90’s. (This venture was cancelled almost immediately)
However, upon closer inspection…it is much more. The entire program, which opens with a short segment by Disney CEO Michael Eisner, does not even question the existence of UFOs and a major UFO cover-up. In fact, at times it has A Tone Of ridicule Towards Those Who Still Deny That UFO’s exist; quite unique

There is an incredible ‘Lost’ underground city beneath the Pyramids of Giza
There is an incredible ‘Lost’ underground city beneath the Pyramids of Giza
There is an incredible ‘Lost’ underground city located beneath the Pyramids of Giza, and despite the fact that only a few know about it today, it was extremely well documented in the past.
Despite the fact that only a few know about it today, the vast underground city was extremely well documented in the past
The mysterious Giza Plateau is even more mind-boggling once you realize the ancient city of Memphis (modern-day Giza) is filled with subterranean passageways, shafts, a cavern system and chambers which hold in their walls, thousands of years worth of history together with countless artifacts. However, Egyptian authorities are not willing to reveal what is found beneath Giza to the general public, like many other discoveries made throughout the years in Egypt.
There is a lost history completely ignored by mainstream scholars when it comes to the Ancient Egyptian Civilization and the enigmatic Pyramids which according to many predates the Egyptian Civilization itself. In order to comprehend to the full extent the partial pieces of history we have been taught in school, we must understand that countless discoveries on our planet have been completely ignored by mainstream scholars.
One of those discoveries took place in Egypt, where a massive subterranean tunnel system with chambers and rooms was discovered below the surface of the Pyramid Plateau. A genuine history of what happened beneath the sands thousands of years ago is not present in mainstream teachings of our civilizations past, and reflection of that are the countless discoveries made in the last decades which clearly indicate, history as we know it is only partial.
In order to understand the enigmatic underground ‘city’ located beneath the Giza Plateau, we venture out the Fayum Oasis district located a few miles outside the Memphis Nome. It is noteworthy to mention that in the past, Lake Moeris bordered the Fayum Oasis and just at its shores was the enigmatic Labyrinth described by Herodotus as “an endless wonder to me.”
It is said that the mysterious ‘Labyrinth’ of impressive size, contained up to 1500 rooms and an equal amount of subterranean chambers which the Greek philosopher was not permitted to inspect. According to the keepers of the Labyrinth, “the passages were baffling and intricate”, created in order to keep the countless ancient texts and scrolls safe in the many underground chambers.
In fact, this ancient complex impressed Herodotus in such a way that he felt compelled to speak about the mysterious structure:
There I saw twelve palaces regularly disposed, which had communication with each other, interspersed with terraces and arranged around twelve halls. It is hard to believe they are the work of man, The walls are covered with carved figures, and each court is exquisitely built of white marble and surrounded by a colonnade. Near the corner where the labyrinth ends, there is a pyramid, two hundred and forty feet in height, with great carved figures of animals on it and an underground passage by which it can be entered. I was told very credibly that underground chambers and passages connected this pyramid with the pyramids at Memphis.
In fact, ancient Memphis (Giza) has a humongous underground system that combines a set of intricate man-made passageways and subterranean rivers and tunnels. While these were described thousands of years ago, the gigantic underground cavities were mapped since 1978 using ground penetrating radar thanks to explorations led by Dr. Jim Hurtak, who is said to have entered massive chambers that are larger than the largest cathedrals ever erected by modern man.
However, in addition to the above, he also spoke of the gigantic underground metropolis located beneath the Giza Plateau said to be at least 15,000 years old.
Interestingly, there are numerous ancient authors who supported Herodotus’ record of underground passages connecting major pyramids. It is important to mention that Iamblichus, also known as Iamblichus Chalcidensis, or Iamblichus of Apamea, a Syrian Neoplatonist philosopher recorded information about an entrance through the body of the Sphinx leading inside the Great Pyramid of Giza:
This entrance obstructed in our day by sands and rubbish, may still be traced between the forelegs of the crouched colossus. It was formerly closed by a bronze gate whose secret spring could be operated only by the Magi. It was guarded by public respect, and a sort of religious fear maintained its inviolability better than armed protection would have done. In the belly of the Sphinx were cut out galleries leading to the subterranean part of the Great Pyramid.
These galleries were so artfully crisscrossed along their course to the Pyramid that, in setting forth into the passage without a guide throughout this network, one increasingly and inevitably returned to the starting point.
Crantor (300BC) claimed that a set of underground pillars in Egypt contain written stone records of pre-history, Crantor too supported Herodotus’ writings.
However, even more,interesting is the fact that written on ancient Sumerian cylinder seals are the records of the Anunnaki and their secret abode, which was described as:
“an underground place… entered through a tunnel, its entrance hidden by sand and by what they call Huwana… his teeth as the teeth of a dragon, his face the face of a lion”.
This extremely ancient texts, fragmented into several pieces also records that “He [Huwana] is unable to move forward, nor is he able to move back” but they crept up on him from behind, and the way to “the secret abode of the Anunnaki” was no longer blocked. (source)
The Ancient Sumerian texts surprisingly provided a relatively good description of the lion-headed Sphinx at Giza, a monument that surely predates the Ancient Egyptian civilizations and was set in place to guard the Pyramids and countless chambers and tunnels located beneath Giza.
However, we find more evidence of vast underground chambers in the writings of first-century Roman historian Pliny, who documented that located beneath the mighty Sphinx there is a concealed “tomb of a ruler namedHarmakhis that contains great treasure.” Surprisingly, the Great Sphinx was once called “The Great Sphinx Harmakhis who mounted guard since the time of the Followers of Horus.”
Further proof supporting the existence of the subterranean vaults is documented by fourth-century Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus who documented the existence of passageways that lead to the interior of the Great Pyramid at Giza:
„Inscriptions which the ancients asserted were engraved on the walls of certain underground galleries and passages were constructed deep in the dark interior to preserve ancient wisdom from being lost in the flood.“
More evidence is found in a manuscript documented by Arab writerAltelemsani and preserved in the British Museum. Altelemsanidocumented the existence of an extensive square underground chamber located below ground, between the Great Pyramid and the River Nile.Altelemsani wrote there was something enormous blocking the entrance from the River Nile.
Altelemsani wrote:
“…In the days of Ahmed Ben Touloun, a party entered the Great Pyramid through the tunnel and found in a side-chamber a goblet of a glass of rare color and texture. As they were leaving, they missed one of the party and, upon returning to seek him, he came out to them naked and laughing said, “Do not follow or seek for me”, and then rushed back into the pyramid. His friends perceived that he was enchanted.
Upon learning about strange happenings under the Pyramid, Ahmed Ben Touloun expressed a desire to see the goblet of glass. During the examination, it was filled with water and weighed, then emptied and re-weighed. The historian wrote that it was “found to be of the same weight when empty as when full of water.” (source)
Interestingly during the 10th century, a writer by the name of Masoudi claimed that advanced mechanical statues were guardians of the subterranean galleries located under the Great Pyramid of Giza. His description, one thousand years ago can be compared in significance to computerized robots seen today. According to Masoudi, these robots were programmed to destroy all “except those who by their conduct were worthy of admission”.
He wrote:
“…written accounts of Wisdom and acquirements in the different arts and sciences were hidden deep, that they might remain as records for the benefit of those who could afterward comprehend them…”.
Masoudiconfessed:
“…I have seen things that one does not describe for fear of making people doubt one’s intelligence… but still I have seen them…”.
According to Herodotus, ancient Egyptian priests spoke of a long-held tradition of the creation of underground chambers by the original builders of ancient Memphis. Interestingly, these stories were confirmed when large cavities were discovered during a survey conducted at Giza in 1993.
Reports supporting the existence of vast chambers was documented by a newspaper report called “Mystery Tunnel in Sphinx“:
“Workers repairing the ailing Sphinx have discovered an ancient passage leading deep into the body of the mysterious monument. The Giza Antiquities chief, Mr. Zahi Hawass, said there was no dispute the tunnel was very old. However, what is puzzling is: who built the passage? Why? Moreover, where does it lead…? Mr. Hawass said he had no plans to remove the stones blocking the entrance. The secret tunnel burrows into the northern side of the Sphinx, about halfway between the Sphinx’s outstretched paws and its tail.” (source)
In 1935, incredible stories emerged after a decade-long clearing project took place. An article published the same year by Hamilton M. Wright described the existence of the areas under Giza. This information, like many other discoveries, are still denied by Egyptian authorities despite extensive evidence proving their existence.
The article read:
“…We have discovered a subway used by the ancient Egyptians of 5000 years ago. It passes beneath the causeway leading between the second Pyramid and the Sphinx. It provides a means of passing under the causeway from the Cheops Pyramid to the Pyramid of Chephren [Khephren]. From this subway, we have unearthed a series of shafts leading down more than 125 feet, with roomy courts and side chambers…”. (source)
The existence of the extensive underground chambers az Giza is extremely well documented, even though a few people around the world know of its existence. Media reports in the 1930’s described subterranean chambers and passageways located between the Temple of the ‘Solar-men’ located on the plateau and the temple of the Sphinx in the Giza Valley.
Located in the middle between the Great Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, four enormous vertical shafts, each approximately eight feet square, leading into inner chambers through solid limestone were alsodiscovered.
At the time of Herodotus visit, there were two large pyramids with colossal seated figures on top in the center of Lake Moeris. This is a pre-1851 engraving of one of those pyramids.
„…It is called “Campbell’s Tomb” on the Masonic and Rosicrucian plans, and “that shaft complex,” said Dr. Selim Hassan, “ended in a spacious room, in the center of which was another shaft that descended to a roomy court flanked with seven side chambers…”.
According to reports, inside of the secret rooms were huge, sealed sarcophagi of basalt and granite, 18 feet high.
In 1935, when Dr. Selim Hassan was exploring the area he wrote:
„…We are hoping to find some monuments of importance after clearing out this water. The total depth of these series of shafts is more than 40 meters or more than 125 feet… In the course of clearing the southern part of the subway, there was found a very fine head of a statue which is very expressive in every detail of the face…“. (source)
Chapel of Offerings, Enoch, and pre-historic accounts
In addition to the above, Dr. Selim Hassan also reported the discovery of three inner and outer courts and a room they called the ‘Chapel of offerings,’ cut into a massive rock outcrop found between Campbell’s Tomb and the Great Pyramid. Reports indicate that at the center of the chapel are three ornate vertical pillars positioned in a triangular-shaped layout. The pillars are extremely important points in the report since their existence is believed to have been recorded in the Bible.
It is believed that Ezra, the initiated Torah writer had knowledge of the existence of the passages and large chambers beneath Giza even before he wrote the Torah.
Interestingly, reports of ‘sophisticated moving machines’ discovered at Giza, together with a previously unknown subterranean city are found in an article written by the Sunday Express of 7 July 1935.
However, despite extensive ancient texts documenting the existence of vast tunnels, chambers and passageways underneath Giza, Egyptian Authorities have long denied the existence of these, together with a number of other incredible discoveries in Egypt.
According to reports, the now ‘inaccessible’ underground city can be accessed from inside the Sphinx (but other parts as well), with stairs cut into solid rock, leading down to the cavern system below the bedrock of the river Nile. The huge, complex, underground system below the Giza Plateau extends east, leading towards Cairo.
In an article written in 1972 the following statement was made:
“No one should pay any attention to the preposterous claims in regard to the interior of the Great Pyramid or the presumed passageways and unexcavated temples and halls beneath the sand in the Pyramid district made by those who are as associated with the so-called, secret cults or mystery societies of Egypt and the Orient.
These things exist only in the minds of those who seek to attract the seekers for mystery, and the more we deny the existence of these things, the more the public is led to suspect that we are deliberately trying to hide that which constitutes one of the great secrets of Egypt. It is better for us to ignore all of these claims than merely deny them. All of our excavations in the territory of the Pyramid have failed to reveal any underground passageways or halls, temples, grottos , or anything of the kind except the one temple adjoining the Sphinx.” (source)
Historical texts document the extensive amount of excavations made during the 20th century, incredible mindboggling discoveries that are kept away from society.
As we have mentioned in previous articles, there is a specific and strict pattern implemented in today’s society where only certain information is released to the world, while most parts are kept locked away from prying eyes, almost as if there is a hidden level of censorship in operation, specifically designed to protect parts of the history belonging to mankind, a species with amnesia.

UFO Plasma Engine! “Three leading French physicists claim to have made a ‘sensational breakthrough’ into the mysteries of how UFOs are powered. Dr. Jean-Pierre Petit, Dr. Claude Poher and Dr. Maurice Viton, have constructed what they term a “UFO engine’ or, The Petit-Viton Magnetohydrodynamic Motor’ by using, so they say, a combination of both electromagnetic and nuclear energy.
The British Government is in the process of declassifying and releasing its entire archive of UFO files. Nick Pope worked on these files, wrote many of the documents in them, and – through his hundreds of media interviews – has been the public face of the release process. The following Q&A with Nick Pope is drawn from previous interviews. It gives an overview of the release of the files and is also designed to be a quotable resource for journalists covering the story (see especially the quotes at the end).
How much material has been released?
209 files and around 52,000 pages of documentation have been released so far. This is in addition to a number of UFO files that had already been released under the old Public Record Act, the best-known provision of which was the so-called 30-year rule, which said files could be considered for public release 30 years after the date of the most recent document contained in them.
Why were these files released?
There were three reasons. Firstly, the French Government released their UFO files in 2007, setting a precedent that would have been difficult for us to ignore. Secondly, the MoD hoped this would generate good PR about the Department’s commitment to open government and freedom of information, while helping to dispel rumours of a cover-up. But the third and biggest reason was that the MoD devised this as a means of dealing with the huge number of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests the Department was getting on UFOs. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, there were many months when the MoD got more FOIA requests on UFOs than on any other subject. The workload involved in responding to them on a case-by-case basis was huge. But once the decision had been made (in 2007) to release the files proactively, all future FOIA requests could be dealt with simply by saying that the Department was in the process of releasing the material. In this way, new FOIA requests would not require a substantive answer, because “information intended for future release” is one of a number of FOIA exemptions. Similarly, once all the files have been released, pretty much all FOIA requests on UFOs can be dealt with by a statement saying that all information held on the subject is available at the National Archives.
How exactly did the release take place?
Firstly, all of the material had to be scanned-in, so it was available electronically. The MoD then had to redact the files. That is, they went through them word by word and blacked out anything still classified, or anything covered by any of the other exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act. Then, the unclassified/declassified files were transferred to the National Archives. This was a slow and time-consuming process, so the files were released in separate batches. There have been ten batches released to date. The first batch was made public in May 2008, with successive batches following every 6 months or so. The most recent batch (the tenth) was released in June 2013. The remaining 18 files are likely to be made public later in 2015, or in 2016, either in a single, final batch, or possibly in two batches.

I’ve seen one or two ufologists claim they were responsible for the file release. Is there any truth in such boasts?
No. Such claims are either dishonest or incredibly naïve. Hundreds of people made UFO-related FOIA requests. Writing in 2006, on the MoD’s website, the Under Secretary of State for Defence, Tom Watson said this: “There is a real and enduring interest in Unidentified Flying Objects. By far the most popular topic of FOI requests has been UFOs, followed by recruitment enquiries, enquiries from staff, and historical events such as World War Two, the Falklands conflict and the Balkans. Recent freedom of information releases on UFOs have attracted media interest from as far away as Japan”. This was the main factor that led the MoD to decide to transfer its UFO files to the National Archives, so it's pretty insulting to the hundreds of other members of the public, journalists and ufologists who lobbied MoD on this issue and made FOI requests, if any individual ufologists try to take credit for this.
So what’s actually in the files that have been released?
Let me start by saying what’s not in the files: there’s no ‘spaceship in a hangar’ smoking gun that’s going to prove we’re being visited by extraterrestrials. If we have such a thing, I’m afraid they didn’t tell me! Now, as to what’s in the files, it’s a mixture. Firstly, there are policy documents, setting out how those of us charged with researching and investigating UFOs viewed the phenomenon. These papers set out the MoD’s strategy on the issue, so to speak. Secondly, there are the sighting reports themselves. This category is a mixed bag, because obviously the vast majority of sightings turn out to be misidentifications, so people have to wade through a lot of bland one or two-page reports of what are obviously aircraft lights or Chinese lanterns, before they get to the better material – it’s a classic example of the old saying that “the best place to hide a book is in a library”! To add to the frustration, the MoD’s investigations didn’t often generate the paper trail researchers would like. Thirdly, there are the public correspondence files. Fourthly, there are files showing how the subject was handled when raised in Parliament.
If there’s no ‘smoking gun’, what do the files show, taken collectively?
What’s readily apparent from a detailed study of all this is that the MoD was telling Parliament, the media and the public that the UFO phenomenon was of “no defence significance” and of limited interest to the MoD. However, the files show that behind the scenes, the subject was obviously taken more seriously than we let on, with many of the cases self-evidently being of great defence significance – e.g. when UFOs were seen in close proximity to military bases, were encountered by RAF pilots, or were tracked on radar by fighter controllers or air traffic controllers. Those of us working on this subject often found ourselves having to employ an Orwellian ‘doublethink’ in our handling of this issue.
Do the files cover other mysteries too?
The UFO files inevitably include some alien contact/alien abduction accounts, as well as some material on other mysteries that some people believe are linked to the UFO phenomenon, such as crop circles and animal mutilations. And occasionally – mainly because there was nowhere else in government to send such material – the UFO project received reports of ghosts seen at military bases, and approaches from psychics, offering to undertake ‘remote viewing’ for the MoD. The last batch of files that was released even contained some papers relating to interest in anti-gravity and gravity modification research expressed by MoD scientists. I wasn’t joking when I referred to MoD’s UFO project as being “the real-life X-Files”.
What has your personal involvement been with the release of these files?
Having worked on MoD’s UFO project, staff at the National Archives asked me to select some cases that could be highlighted to the media in the run-up to the release. The media could run whatever stories they liked, of course, but inevitably, most times they would pick the ones I suggested. I was asked to ensure that there were cases from all parts of the UK, so as to appeal to the regional press, and to ensure that the material selected catered to a wide cross-section of viewpoints, i.e. picking out some cases that were easy to explain, some that were genuine mysteries, some disturbing cases (e.g. near-misses between UFOs and commercial aircraft) and some of the more amusing cases in the files, such as the man who claimed that his car, tent and pet dog had been abducted by aliens. I was also asked to record a promotional video for the National Archives, drawing attention to the release and talking about it in positive terms. But my biggest involvement in all this was to do literally hundreds of TV, radio, newspaper and magazine interviews on the story (and write some of the features myself) and thus become the public face of the file release project. It was certainly a success and I appeared on a huge range of news programmes, chat shows and radio programmes, including Newsnight, BBC News, ITV News, CNN News, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, Sky News, This Morning, GMTV and Radio 4’s Today programme, to name but a few.

What was it like for you on the actual days the files were released?
It was manic! As regard to the practicalities of a “file release day”, two days beforehand, an embargoed press release would be sent out to the world’s media. On a couple of occasions the embargo was broken, but we managed (just) to get the genie back into the bottle. On many occasions, I would be asked to write a feature article for a newspaper. I wrote several for The Sun, but also wrote for The Times, The Guardian and the Daily Mirror. Once the embargoed press release was sent out, I would receive requests for short, punchy comments that could be used in newspaper articles (that often ran in parallel to the features I wrote myself), as well as numerous TV and radio interview bids. I’d try to accept as many of these bids as possible, but inevitably, if I was at the BBC studios in White City for a live TV interview at 7am, I wasn’t going to be able to get to the Sky News studios in West London by 7.15am. I partly got around this by trying to stagger things, so that I would do, say, a BBC news interview at 6am, an ITV chat show at 7am and a Sky News feature at 8am. But inevitably, things got hectic and stressful, especially as the BBC, ITV and Sky studios are in different parts of London, and the traffic can be a nightmare. I’m pleased to say that I never once missed an interview, but there were certainly some very close calls. Things got even more hectic as new requests came in all the time, and there were some surreal moments, such as doing a down-the-line interview with a BBC radio station on my mobile phone, while sitting in the back of a courtesy car taking me to my next TV interview. Another way we got around these difficulties was by pre-recording things where possible. Before most file release days I would record a string of ‘to camera’ remarks about the files at the studios of ITN Productions, in Holborn. They would then produce 2 or 3 different news packages, which any media outlets could use. This was particularly useful for US networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox. If people Google “Nick Pope” & “ITN” they can watch a few of these. It became a tradition that after my final interview, usually in the late evening, the courtesy car would drop me off at my local sports bar for a well-earned cold beer.

What was your favourite interview or news feature?
I have several. Newsround and Blue Peter were great fun to do, as was The Alan Titchmarsh Show. One of the most unusual stunts involved my writing a science fiction story based on the files, for the BBC World Service show The World Today. I then had to judge the entries from listeners, who were invited to email in suggestions for continuing the story. I also enjoyed giving a talk about the file release at the Royal Albert Hall, in October 2010.
What’s your favourite story from the files?
It was good to see more papers released on ‘classic cases’ such as the Rendlesham Forest incident and the Cosford incident, though it was unfortunate that some Defence Intelligence Staff files containing documents on Rendlesham had been destroyed. There were also some interesting (and highly disturbing) reports of near-misses between UFOs and commercial aircraft. However, if readers will forgive me for highlighting a somewhat light-hearted story, I rather like the case of the man who placed a 100-1 bet that alien life would be officially confirmed by the Millennium, and then tried to enlist the help of the MoD to support his case against the bookmakers. Sadly, the man lost his bet.
How did you feel, seeing all this material again after so many years?
The whole file release project has been something of a ‘blast from the past’ for me, seeing material that I worked on (or wrote), when I never thought I’d see it again. Bear in mind that when I was working on MoD’s UFO project, the UK didn’t have a Freedom of Information Act, so the assumption was that none of the files I was working on would even be considered for public release until 30 years after a file was closed. So, there were mixed emotions really. I had some feelings of nostalgia, obviously, but also some feelings of pride at a job well done, and some regrets for the inevitable mistakes and missed opportunities.
Have all the MoD’s UFO files been released?
No. Firstly, many UFO files from the 1950s and 1960s were destroyed many years ago, before any decisions were made to retain files on this subject, or release them. Secondly, there are a number of exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act, which can exclude from public release material covering such areas as “defence”, “national security” and “intelligence”. Many exemptions in the UFO files are little more than deleting the names and addresses of witnesses, to protect their privacy, but there are cases where other exemptions have been used. The final report of an intelligence study into UFOs, codenamed Project Condign, is a good example of a publicly-released UFO document where a small (but significant) amount of information has been blacked out. Thirdly, and by the MoD's own admission, Defence Intelligence Staff files on the Rendlesham Forest incident were "inadvertently destroyed". Similarly, the MoD stated that a ship’s log for HMS Manchester, that might have contained details of a UFO seen during a NATO exercise, was lost after having been blown overboard by a “freak gust of wind”. Gun camera footage of UFOs taken by RAF jets in the Sixties has apparently “not survived”, while a spectacular UFO photograph that had been on my office wall for many years was "mislaid" – along with the negatives. I make no accusations of foul play here, but I can certainly understand the anger and frustration that has been expressed by some people in the UFO community and the conspiracy theory community. And finally, as I’ve mentioned earlier, despite the MoD and the National Archives stating to the media that the last of the files had been released in June 2013, there are, in fact, a further 18 files that have yet to be passed from the MoD to the National Archives.
Opening the real-life X-Files - a promotional still from a TV show Nick Pope presented on the release of the MoD's UFO files
What has been the reaction of the UFO community to the release of these files?
To be honest, the reaction was a little disappointing. True believers tended to dismiss the release as disinformation: "All the good stuff's been held back" was a frequent comment. The revelations concerning material that has been destroyed or lost didn't help, while my central role in publicizing the release project further fueled the fire: "He's still on the payroll" is a phrase that I often heard from true believers and conspiracy theorists, when they saw me in the media, discussing these files. The reaction from die-hard debunkers was equally disappointing. There was a sneering tendency to focus on the odd case which clearly involved a hoax or an eccentric, while ignoring or glossing over the sightings where the witnesses were police officers, pilots or military personnel, where UFOs were tracked on radar, or where a photo or video was analysed by MoD's technical wizards, with no evidence of fakery being found. The reasons for these reactions, of course, had to do with belief. Just as fascist and communist regimes are actually very similar, despite the apparent distance implied by phrases like “left-wing” and “right-wing”, so true believers and die-hard debunkers are actually chiseled from the same block, united by their dogma and their conclusion-led approach to the subject. The MoD files played to this, because they told neither group what they wanted to hear. True believers wanted definitive proof of extraterrestrial visitation and a government cover-up, while die-hard debunkers wanted confirmation that all sightings could be explained in terms of misidentifications, hoaxes, delusions, or people who’d had too much drink or drugs. But the files didn’t tell them this - they reflected a more subtle and complex truth about UFOs, i.e. that MoD isn’t covering up proof of extraterrestrial visitation, but that some UFO sightings appeared to defy conventional explanation, with even those of us in government not being aware of the true nature of the phenomenon.
So what happens now? Where do we go from here?
There was massive media and public interest on each of the days that the files were released, and for maybe a day or two afterwards, but memories fade quickly. There’s an old saying in the UK media that today’s newspaper is tomorrow’s fish and chip paper. Once the dust has settled, the UFO community turns its attention elsewhere. More sightings take place, new stories surface and things move on. MoD’s UFO files are a valuable resource, but in time they will doubtless become little more relevant to the ufological debate as, say, the Project Blue Book archive. In the final analysis, little will change. True believers and die-hard debunkers will occasionally cherry-pick cases, information and quotes that fit their existing worldview – a classic case of what cognitive science calls “confirmation bias”. Ultimately though, true believers will naïvely continue to believe every tall tale they hear, while die-hard debunkers will dishonestly ignore good data, or alter the facts of a case so as to shoehorn it into their pre-conceived views. The irony is that UFO phenomenon itself will endure, as it always has done, oblivious to the views of either faction.
Do you have any final comments to make on the release of these files?
Perhaps I can finish by restating two points I made when the June 2013 file release took place, as they were quoted in most of the media articles about this story. I think they encapsulate things quite nicely:
"I hope people have as much fun reading these real-life X-Files as I had working on them. These documents don't resolve the UFO mystery but they certainly show how the phenomenon was just as intriguing to the government as it is to the public."
“These are the real-life X-Files. Most UFO sightings had conventional explanations, but a small percentage remained unexplained. These included cases where UFOs were seen by police officers, chased by pilots and tracked on radar. Whatever you think about UFOs, the release of these files shines a light on one of the most intriguing subjects ever studied by the British Government”.
It works! An ‘impossible’ fuel-free engine that defies the laws of Physics has been proven to work by numerous independentlaboratories. However, researchers are still unsure as to how it actually works.
Scientists are sure how it works since the so-called EmDrive defies all known laws of physics
The ‘impossible’ fuel-free engine called EmDrive could transport astronauts to Mars in just 10 weeks has been proven to work, even though no one known how or why it works. The revolutionary engine creates thrust by bouncing microwaves in a closed chamber and is powered only by solar energy.
While researchers have pointed out the engine is an impossible concept since it defies all known laws of physics, the engine has turned out to be a feasible option for future spacecraft.
Now, scientists have come up with a theory that could explain how it can actually work. In the next coming months, the engine will undergo peer review as scientists hope it can become a reality shortly.
The idea, however, isn’t new. The concept was proposed for the first time 16 years go when researcher Roger Shawyer came up with the incredible idea. Since 2000, four independent research facilities including one belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have recreated the drive and even though it creates thrust, no one has been able to explain how. The EmDrive converts electrical energy into thrust without the necessity for rocket fuel. Classical physics suggest that this engine should not work since it appears to violate the law of conservation of momentum.
According to the law, the momentum of a system is constant if there are no external forces acting on the system –because of this, propellant is used in traditional rockets.
However, Dr. Mike McCulloch of Plymouth University firmly believes he might have figured out the impossible drive, and his explanation is based on a new theory of inertia, describing the resistance of massive objects to changes in motion and acceleration.
A prototype of the ‘impossible’ fuel-free engine
The idea as to why inertia exists at all has puzzled researchers for centuries.
Dr. McCulloch proposes that inertia can be explained from an effect predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity called ‘Unruh radiation.’ This effect states that if there is an acceleration in a vacuum, empty space will contain gas particles at a temperature which is proportional to that of the acceleration, meaning that that universe basically heats up objects as the accelerate.
Dr. McCulloch suggests that inertia can be defined as the pressure exerted by the Unruh radiation on an accelerating body. Size matters, this is why when accelerations involved are smaller, like the case of the EmDrive, the wavelength of Unruh radiation gets larger. At extremely low accelerations, wavelengths become simply put, too large to fit into the observable universe. Researchers suggest that as a result, inertia may only take on whole-wavelength units over time, causing it to become ‘quantized.’
Researchers have discovered that at extremely low accelerations, inertia jumps unexpectedly in value, an effect already observed by scientists previously when spacecraft perform a flyby of Earth, causing them to move much faster that what scientists calculated they should.
However, we could be looking at the same thing in the EmDrive by reducing the size of allowed wavelengths of Unruh radiation.
One of the images from an as-yet unpublished paper on the EMDrive.
According to Dr. McCulloch, since photons have an inertial mass, they experience inertia when they perfect. However, since due to the EmDrive truncated cone, the Unruh radiation in tiny.
According to a report by MIT, the cone allows Unruh radiation of a certain size at the large end but only a smaller wavelength at the other end. The inertia of photons inside the cavity changes as these bounce back and forth. In order to conserve momentum, they are forced to generate thrust.
McCulloch says there is some evidence that exactly this happens. ‘This thrust reversal may have been seen in recent Nasa experiments,’ he says.
The next step is to test out the EmDrive on a larger scale, and if it works, it could carry both passengers and equipment to the moon in just four hours, or take them to the red planet in just ten weeks. The EmDrive will be a huge thing if it works on a larger scale since it would make it possible for humans to travel outside our solar system. Fro example, a trip to Alpha Centauri would take tens of thousands of years with our current technology, however, using the EmDrive engine, a trip to Alpha Centauri would take just 100 years.

Researchers have revealed what actually lies under the western parts of the icy continent of Antarctica.
There is a hidden world under Antarctica, in a new study, researchers have shown giant ‘wetlands’ 800 metres beneath the Ice in western Antarctica. Thanks to the Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling (WISSARD) project financed by the National Science Foundation (NSF) researchers are one step closer to discovering exactly what lies beneath the thick ice sheets covering most parts of the icy continent.
Reports indicate that Lake Whillans — first discovered in 2007, covering a staggering area of 20sq miles— which lies beneath 800 meters of ice in Western Antarctica is eerily similar to a ‘wetland.’
Researchers hope that further studies will allow them to understand how sea levels rise, and how ice behaves in response to global warming.
“It is amazing to think that we did not know that this lake even existed until a decade ago.,’ said Helen Amanda Fricker of Scripps, who initially discovered Subglacial Lake Whillans in 2007 from satellite data.
‘It is exciting to see such a rich dataset from the lake, and these new data are helping us understand how lakes function as part of the ice-sheet system.”
Researchers now know that Subglacial Lake Shillans is fed by ice ad contains small amounts of seawater from ancient marine sediments which can be found on the seabed of the lake. The water of the lake periodically drains to the ocean through some channels connecting the lake, however, with insufficient energy to carry much sediment.
The new data will allow researcher to better comprehend the extensive biogeochemistry and mechanics of Lake Whillans, but will also help them improve current models of how Antarctic subglacial lake systems interact with the ice located on the surface and the sediments located below it
Three separate papers analyzed the studies obtained in January of 2013, when the WISSARD project managed to successfully drill through the ice sheet reaching Subglacial Lake Whillan, retrieving water and sediment samples from a body of water that had remained in isolation from direct contact with Earths Atmosphere for thousands of years.
Two of the most interesting papers were those published in Geology and the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
According to lead author Alexander Michaud, of Montana State University, they used data taken from a 38-centimeter (15-inch) long core of lake sediment to characterize the water chemistry of the subglacial lake and its sediments. They discovered that lake water primarily originates from melting at the base of the ice sheet covering the subglacial lake and that there was a minor contribution from seawater, trapped in the sediments under the ice during the last interglacial period, a time when the Antarctic ice sheet eventually retreated.
Scientists have found that the ancient, isolated reservoir of ocean water has the ability to affect the biogeochemistry of this lake system.
The second paper published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, lead author Timothy Hodson of Northern Illinois University and his colleagues looked at core sediments taken fro the lake in hopes of discovering more about the relationship of the ice sheet, subglacial hydrology, and underlying sediments. Their discoveries show that while numerous floods pass through the lake every once in a while, the flow of the floods lacks energy in order to erode extensive drainage channels.
Researchers concluded that that the environment beneath the Icy continent is very similar to a wetland within the coastal plain on other parts of the planet.
What we have to understand is that around 170 million years ago, Antarctica was part of the supercontinent called Gondwana. Around 25 million years ago, Antarctica as we know it, gradually broke apart from Gondwana.
According to research, Antarctica was not always cold, dry, and covered in ice sheets. Au contraire, during its long history, Antarctica was located farther north and experienced a tropical or temperate climate, meaning that it was covered in forests, and inhabited by various ancient life forms.

(VIDEO) Huge Entrance Leading Inside the Moon Appears on NASA Images
(VIDEO) Huge Entrance Leading Inside the Moon Appears on NASA Images
A grand anomaly has recently been detected on the lunar surface, and it strongly resembles the entrance to a hollow place, inside the Moon.
On December 21, 1968, NASA’s Apollo 8 mission took flight towards Earth’s natural satellite – the Moon. The event marked a historic moment for humanity, as it carried the first humans out of Earth’s orbit, and into the Moon’s. The mission, led by Commander Frank Borman, Command Module pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders, became the first human mission to see and also photograph the far side of the Moon.
A total of 2908 pictures were taken using a 70 mm camera installed on the Lunar Orbiter, and surprisingly or not, several anomalies came into picture. After they orbited the Moon ten times over the course of 20 hours, the crew took a final shot of the dark side of the ‘natural satellite’ that we never get to see. In it, a massive triangular structure was clearly visible on the surface, and after the images were made public by NASA, a heated debate has taken over the UFO community.
The assumptions of what the peculiar anomaly on the lunar surface is, are extremely varied. The Image in itself is full of mystery and controversy because the appearance doesn’t fit into any rational explanation or criteria, and besides, it covers a substantial area of the Moon. So what can this mysterious sighting be? Could it be just a camera glitch, or is it rather the real reason why the Apollo 8 crew stopped taking any other shots, thus ending the mission without revealing anymore insight of what was really happening there?
I will not go into calling this remarkable appearance a mothership or UFO because it clearly resembles some kind of structure. Some UFO analysts consider it to be a three dimensional object found on the surface because it allegedly leaves a slight shadow over the area, and that would only lead us to an alien spacecraft assumption, which I don’t really think to be the case.
Although a presumed fleet of UFOs has recently been detected near the far side of the Moon, the chances for such a massive craft to pop-up during the Apollo 8 mission are unlikely, because aliens wouldn’t just disclose their presence in such an obvious manner. Instead, the photo could reveal an actual entrance leading inside the Moon, proving that our ‘natural satellite’ isn’t so natural after all.
In recent years, UFO hunters have gained lots of skills because of the advanced tools they now have at their disposal. Mr. Crow of YouTube, together with other vigilant watchers, have filmed a bizarre phenomenon which they called ‘the lunar wave.’ According to their research, the Moon could be nothing more but a holographic projection that’s hiding the ‘main stage’ where extraterrestrials (or the military) are operating undisturbed. I know this cannot explain things such as the tidal movement, but the lunar wave surprised by numerous UFO hunters is sure to raise many of questions.
Another plausible explanation refers to the anomalous ‘structure’ as a ‘moon door,’ or a passage leading inside the inner depths of the moon. You are probably familiar with the ‘Hollow Earth’ notion, but what if the Moon is hollow as well?
SECRET MOON ENTRANCE
Scott Waring from ufosightingsdaily has an interesting point of view on this, which he expressed on his blog:
“This is what happens when you get too close to Earth’s moon. This is a giant opening into our moon. On far left side of it you see a wall that rises several miles. What happened here is that the camera was so close to the moon that the holographic cloak now had glitches,” Waring wrote.
“What I mean is that cameras usually take photos according to its shutter speed. This speed can be charged, but todays cameras can take speed up to 1/1000 sec. Other photos show it gone. So this glitch in their cloak was so fast that the human eye could not even notice it, but technology did, and it recorded it too,” he added.
“So this Apollo 8 camera probably had a speed of only 1/200 sec or so, but that was enough to record the glitch in our moon. It’s there, we can see from the detail that this is not a mistake, but it’s really built into the moon’s surface. This is excellent proof that the moon is an artificial structure,” Waring concluded.
Although he doesn’t make any direct reference to the lunar wave, he highlights another possibility of the Moon being an artificial structure. There is proof of NASA bombing the far side of the moon in 2009, and the Chinese government also revealed controversial photos of structures found on the lunar surface that strongly resemble mining facilities. It’s unclear what exactly they have found there, but there is an undeniable interest in the Moon.
If we destroyed an alien outpost located on the Moon, or if the secret entrance leading inside the hoGrappig of schattigllow moon has been photographed by the unaware Apollo 8 astronauts we can only speculate, but the intense activity aiming at the moon in recent years has shown the open-minded people that something really strange is going on up there.
Until the final hour of disclosure arrives, make sure to keep an eye open for all the leaked and declassified information on the internet. After all, it may answer your questions sooner than the government will. NASA Link
The Guatemala Stone Head—Evidence of Ancient Alien Worship?
The Guatemala Stone Head—Evidence of Ancient Alien Worship?
Many artifacts essential for understanding life’s cycle on Earth and the link between the human species and extraterrestrials have been buried under a thick layer of rubble by constant wars that have been waging almost endlessly.
Such an example is the gigantic stone head discovered “somewhere in the jungle of Guatemala”. The head statue had very fine features: thin lips, a large sharp nose, leaving an overall feeling of fineness, its eyes were closed, but if they were open, they would be looking towards the sky. It measured at least 30 feet, judging by the three men sitting on top of the head and the car parked in front of it. A unique discovery indeed, as it resembled nothing found in Central America so far.
On August 16, 1986, Dr. Oscar Rafael Padilla Lara, a UFO enthusiast, philosopher, and lawyer at that time, received an intriguing photo of the monolith. Its precise location remained undisclosed, with the only known references being the date inscribed on the back of the photo. It was taken in 1950 by the man who owned the land where the colossal stone head was found, but since the landowner was declared dead long ago, Padila had to search for another way to find the exact location of the site.
In 1987, the story of the bizarre stone head was first printed in the Ancient Astronaut Society newsletter “Ancient Skies”, and it caused quite a stir. People wanted to learn if the structure was only a head, or it had a body buried underneath; also, the question of its exact location reappeared after a long time. Fortunately, the article was read by David Hatcher Childress, an adventurous archaeologist who visited various mysteries across the globe, detailing them all in his “Mystery Travel books.”
This “Indiana Jones” made it his goal to find the site of the mysterious stone sculpture, so he met with Padilla from whom he requested additional information regarding the location of the anomalous sculpture.
At first, Padilla spoke of a relative who analyzed the photo of the mysterious sculpture and succeeded in finding a hint leading to one of the many properties owned by the Biener family. With no other leads available at that time, he enrolled in a dangerous and uncertain journey that led him deep inside the jungles of Guatemala in the hope of finding the intricate stone head.
“In order to find it, I went approximately 180 kilometers from the city, towards Las Victorias, Los Encuentros, Saint Filipe Retalhuleu, on the pacific coast of Guatemala. From there, I followed a main road for 5 kilometers, then 3 kilometers more on a road of battered earth and finally 5 kilometers on foot, through the jungle.”
When he finally reached the site of La Democracia, the excitement turned to anguish because the statue was lying there full of bullet holes, with its fine features almost unrecognizable.
“It was destroyed by revolutionaries about ten years ago,” Padilla revealed. “We had located the statue too late. It was used as target practice by anti-government rebels. This totally disfigured it, sort of like the way the Sphinx in Egypt had its nose shot off by the Turks, only worse.”
After Padilla recovered from the shocking moment, he took additional notes of what was left of the monument that could had our history rewritten. The eyes, nose and mouth were completely gone. The statue was carved from soft sandstone, probably for highlighting its delicate traits, but due to this soft material, its fate was easily concealed for eternity.
Eventually, David Hatcher Childress reached the La Democracia site only to find the stone head in ruins, just like Dr. Padilla depicted. After this unfortunate episode, the story died because there was no relevant proof left to confirm the existence of the alien-like stone head from the photo.
In order to understand the uniqueness of the statue, one must look towards the region where the stone head was reported to have been found – La Democracia, a site already renowned for stone heads looking skyward.
Their history is known however – built by the Olmec civilization, which thrived between 1400 and 400 BC, the stone heads sitting near the town of La Democracia share no common traits with “Padilla’s stone head”. The twelve Olmec statues depict pot-bellied human figures with flat faces looking towards the sky. They have a common Olmec aspect, a style completely that’s completely different from the fine-sculpted Padilla stone head.
The ancient Olmec civilization predated the Maya and is believed to be the first to build pyramids in Mesoamerica. Knowing that the Olmec had the means to carve such statues, is it possible that they were also responsible for the anomalous stone head? If not, who were their builders?
A theory supported by Phillip Coppens, a Belgian author and radio host, claims that another ancient civilization predating or post-dating the Olmecs was responsible for the “Padilla head”. If so, it’s possible that the only artifact left belonging to them has fallen victim to the ongoing war, and chances for a similar discovery are slim because the area remains troubled by conflict.
Date of discovery: May 2016 Location of discovery: Hoeven, Netherlands,
This crop formation was found in the Netherlands this week and seems a bit off balance. I notice that one of the L shaped arms stinking out is different in shape than the other on its opposite side. Perhaps an indication that it was made by people and not aliens or maybe it is suppose to be this way. Also there seems to be a code of small lines and circles in between the big circle and the smaller. Possibly a solar system map? Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Here is a great interview with people living in Dulce, NM. Many people in this city have seen UFOs or alien creatures on the surrounding mountains, but are often ignored, because Roswell, NM is nearby, taking away the attention from Dulce. I really feel that the city should invest in some live cams of the surrounding mountains and sky. A small investment of $10,000 and it will make the city a popular website to attract visitors, as well as help UFO hunters. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: ROSWELL, N.M (KRQE) – People think of Roswell as the alien city, but another New Mexico town has been giving Roswell a run for its money. Residents of the small town of Dulce in far northern New Mexico claim they’ve experienced some paranormal activity themselves and it’s gaining them some national attention. The History Channel show “UFO Hunters” is one of a handful of shows that have visited the small town on the Jicarilla Indian Reservation in recent years. Residents there say they have seen flying saucers, UFOs and fast moving lights. One person claiming he’s even tracked Bigfoot. Aliens are big business in Roswell attracting thousands of tourists each year. The city is home of a purported UFO crash in 1947, the source of one of the world’s biggest conspiracy theories. But some people say Roswell doesn’t have a monopoly on UFO sightings. “I think that there are more than one alien towns in New Mexico right now,” said Helen Walters, Roswell resident. Others say it’s best to leave all the flying saucers and extra-terrestrial stuff to the original alien city. “It’s always been something that’s been kind of a Roswell thing, so I think it would be something that would well most likely need to stay here,” said Bobby Graves. Residents like Ken Bertin agree. “I don’t think there’s room for more than one, Roswell is the only Alien Town, U.S.A.,” said Bertin. The Dulce legend started about 40 years ago with claims the U.S. military had built a sprawling underground base there where they kept aliens.
This is a very strange conversation between MSNBC's host Chris Matthews and Clar Moskowitz. It really looks like this is becoming an important area for Hillary, since a large portion of the country believe a UFO did crash at Roswell, NM back in 1947, and that the US government is trying to cover it and all UFO sightings up. Would she keep her promise? She will try...and that word try is better than nothing. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews has offered NewsBusters readers perhaps the largest library of ridiculous statements over the years but his segment topics took a bizarre turn on Wednesday when he devoted an entire block to Hillary Clinton’s interest in releasing documents pertaining to Area 51 and the chances that aliens exist inside the U.S. Speaking to a Scientific American editor, Matthews aired his thoughts on conspiracy theories, how many who believe in aliens also believe there was more to the Kennedy assassinations to even creepily complimenting to his guest that he “love[s] your clear thinking and logic and scientific, well, method.” Matthews hit the ground running with senior editor Clara Moskowitz by asking if there’s “any physical evidence on this planet — has anyone ever found of UFOs” and when she stated “there’s absolutely no reason to think aliens have been there,” he followed up immediately: “No evidence of spaceships, of flying saucers or ETs of that kind? None. It's never been discovered or detected or claimed?” Moskowitz responded that since Area 51 also “tests experimental aircraft” so anyone voicing concerns about “weird looking aircraft flying around” they shouldn’t conclude it’s aliens.

1992, Jim Marrs spent three years researching and completing a non-fiction book on a TOP-SECRET U.S. government program involving the psychic phenomenon known as REMOTE VIEWING, only to have it mysteriously canceled as it was going to press in the summer of 1995. The CIA REVEALED the program but put their own spin on PSYCHIC studies. Psi Spies was finally published in 2007.
Zonneobservatorium maakt spectaculaire beelden van Mercuriusovergang
Zonneobservatorium maakt spectaculaire beelden van Mercuriusovergang
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Gisteren bewoog Mercurius tussen de aarde en de zon door en zonneobservatorium SOHO legde de complete overgang vast. Het resultaat is adembenemend.
Het is om stil van te worden: de beelden van het Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). We zien hoe Mercurius – de binnenste planeet van ons zonnestelsel – voor de machtige zon langs beweegt. Het is slechts een klein zwart stipje op die enorme, vrij roerige zonneschijf. Is het niet prachtig?
De beelden werden gisteren tijdens de Mercuriusovergang gemaakt. Tussen 13.12 en 20.41 uur (Nederlandse tijd) bewoog Mercurius tussen de zon en de aarde langs. Vanaf de aarde was – met behulp van een verrekijker of telescoop – een zwart stipje op de zonneschijf te zien. Dat zag er zo uit:
Dit kiekje werd in Pennsylvania gemaakt.

Een prachtige foto, maar de beelden gemaakt vanuit de ruimte blijven toch ook adembenemend mooi. De beelden hieronder zijn eveneens het werk van SOHO.
Wetenschappers gebruiken een onderwaterrobot om de geheimen van de Marianentrog te ontrafelen. Deze expeditie duurt tot 10 juli en is via een live feed te volgen. Op 24 april 2016 verscheen er plotseling een bijzonder dier in beeld. Verrassing!
De kwal is gespot door onderzoekers van NOAA’s Okeanos Explorer-schip. Het dier zwom op een diepte van 3.700 meter bij een zeeberg ten westen van de Mariantentrog. Het gaat mogelijk om een kwal van het geslacht Crossota. Tot op heden zijn er vijf soorten Crossota bekend, namelijk de alba, brunnea, millsae, norvegica en rufobrunnea. Crossota kunnen niet zelf zwemmen, maar drijven van plek naar plek, eigenlijk net zoals plankton.
“Waarschijnlijk is dit dier een sluipmoordenaar”, vervolgt Frazer. “Hij beweegt haast niet, maar spreidt zijn tentakels wel uit. Net als de draden van een spinnenweb wacht de kwal op een slachtoffer die toevallig in zijn armen zwemt.”
Vraag jij je af wat die felgele bolletjes onder de transparante buik van deze kwal zijn? Dat zijn de gonaden, oftewel de geslachtscellen bij dieren.
Naar schatting duurt het nog maanden – of misschien zelfs jaren – voordat deze kwal geclassificeerd is. Blijf de feed van de Okeanos Explorer volgen en wie weet ben jij live getuige van de ontdekking van een nieuwe soort.
Het is niet gek dat er nieuwe soorten worden ontdekt in de Marianentrog. Er zijn naar schatting een biljoen soorten op aarde en daarvan hebben wij slecht 0,001% gevonden. Grote kans dat de onderzoekers nog meer nieuwe dieren tegen het lijf aan lopen in de diepste trog ter wereld.
Did British jets scramble after a UFO was sighted in the ocean? The residents of Yorkshire heard sonic booms of jets scrambling last week with a potential alien interception as their mission. A YouTube video published by secureteam10 discusses a possible UFO cover-up. Interestingly, reputable news outlets covered the sonic booms of the scrambling jets. That part of the story cannot be denied. However, alien enthusiasts have spun details of a strange object in the ocean into a UFO conspiracy. The YouTube video also detailed leaked information by the Russians confirming the possible alien sighting. Hoax or real?
UFO Rising from the Watery Depths
The Earth-shaking booms that were reported in several cities in the U.K. indicate the scrambling of fighter jets. But for what reason? Could it have been a training exercise, and why is Russia monitoring that area of ocean? There were reports of the jets flying out to the ocean and circling the supposed UFO that rose from the water. The secureteam10 video shows an odd flight pattern photo that looks like it was illustrated using Photoshop. But this doesn’t make it not real. Where was NASA in all of this? They may have some satellite images worth uncovering.
The British Cover-Up
Shortly after the incident, the government issued a Defense Advisory (DA) Notice to all media outlets, according to the video. This would make it illegal to release facts about the incident, which may or may not be valid. The sonic booms were quickly made into news stories, but where the jets went and their mission was not made public. This may be another UFO cover-up by the British government and ESA. As well as NASA. Hours after the DA-Notice, a cover story was released. It said that everything was fine and the issue was caused by an Air France flight having technical problems. Eyewitness reports say that it was not a jet, and instead a UFO.
Will Russia and NASA Get Involved
The Baltic Sea has been an object of debate and tension for multiple countries, including the U.S. and Russia. Russia has been known to patrol the Baltic Sea, even buzzing U.S. Navy ships. UFO enthusiasts also believe that there are “USOs” in the Earth’s seas. USOs are simply UFOs underwater. Could NASA be doing secret expeditions in the Baltic Sea, causing tension and interest from Russia? Russia and NASA are in a space race to explore Mars. Could there also be a “sea race” to explore the alien life possibly hiding in the depths of the oceans? However, NASA may be too busy with Mars.

“Deze geheime piramides zijn nog groter dan die in Egypte”
“Deze geheime piramides zijn nog groter dan die in Egypte”
Archeoloog Semir Osmanagic heeft de afgelopen jaren nogal wat gedurfde uitspraken gedaan. Zo zei hij onder meer dat de kristallen schedels van de Maya’s zijn gemaakt door een hoogontwikkelde beschaving en dat de Maya’s afstammen van aliens. Dat schrijven Britse media.
Dr. Osmanagic zegt ook dat in zijn thuisland Bosnië piramides verborgen liggen die nog groter zijn dan de Egyptische piramides. “Het zijn niet alleen de oudste piramides in Europa, maar ook de grootste op de planeet,” zei hij.
“Voor veel archeologen komt dit als een schok omdat de meeste mensen de status-quo proberen te behouden,” voegde hij toe.
Ondergrondse tunnels
Semir Osmanagic (Reuters)
De 55-jarige Osmanagic deed zijn ontdekking in 2005 toen hij een bezoek bracht aan Visocica, een gebergte in Bosnië en Herzegovina. Hij stelde vast dat er vijf piramides in het gebied kunnen worden gevonden.
Eén van de piramides, die hij de Zonnepiramide heeft genoemd, zou maar liefst 220 meter hoog zijn, een stuk hoger dan de Grote Piramide van Gizeh (147 meter).
In 2006 stelde hij dat de vijf piramides met elkaar verbonden zijn door middel van een aantal ondergrondse tunnels die meer dan 34.000 jaar oud zijn. Maar volgens professor Curtis Runnels van de Boston University waren de vroege bewoners niet in staat om op grote schaal piramides te bouwen.
Amar Karapus, curator van het nationale museum van Bosnië en Herzegovina in Sarajevo, zei: “Toen ik voor het eerst las over de piramides dacht ik dat het een grap was. Ik kon niet geloven dat ook maar iemand dit geloofde.”
Gecommuniceerd tussen continenten
Volgens Osmanagic werden de piramides, inclusief de Egyptische piramides, gebruikt als zenders zodat continenten met elkaar konden communiceren.
“De oorspronkelijke piramides (Gizeh, Shaanxi, Teotihuacan en Bosnië) werden gebruikt als enorme opwekkers van elektromagnetische velden. Daarbij kwam onder meer ultrageluid vrij,” zei hij.
“Hoogstwaarschijnlijk waren het ook ontvangers,” legde hij uit. “Er werd tienduizenden jaren geleden al gecommuniceerd tussen de continenten.”
Hij is vastbesloten het bestaan van de Bosnische piramides te bewijzen. “Het is waar dat sommige archeologen uit Egypte, Mexico, Duitsland en de VS ons niet begrijpen en ons belachelijk proberen te maken. Maar over 50 jaar zullen mensen grappen maken over onze mainstream wetenschappers en hun gebrek aan kennis.”
Topgeheime Britse X-Files over enkele dagen vrijgegeven door ministerie van Defensie
Topgeheime Britse X-Files over enkele dagen vrijgegeven door ministerie van Defensie
Geheime Britse overheidsstukken over ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten, ook wel de Britse X-Files genoemd, worden mogelijk binnen enkele dagen vrijgegeven. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
De stukken, die al meer dan 30 jaar geheim zouden worden gehouden door het Britse ministerie van Defensie, komen deze maand in het Britse Nationaal Archief te liggen. Onderzoekers proberen net als het Britse parlementslid baron Guy Black al enige tijd inzage te krijgen in 18 topgeheime stukken over UFO-waarnemingen.
De Britse overheid werd eind 2013 beschuldigd van een cover-up, toen de openbaarmaking van de stukken werd uitgesteld. In maart dit jaar volgde opnieuw uitstel.
Straling
Sommige onderzoekers claimen dat de documenten mogelijk bewijs bevatten voor buitenaards bezoek en specifieke informatie over controversiële waarnemingen zoals het incident in Rendlesham Forest in 1980.
De Amerikaanse soldaat John Burroughs, die destijds gestationeerd was op RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, werd blootgesteld aan straling nadat er een UFO boven de basis was verschenen. Afgelopen zomer vroeg hij het Britse parlement wanneer de 18 topgeheime stukken worden vrijgegeven aan het publiek.
Meest geheime
Minister van Defensie Earl Howe antwoordde toen dat de documenten voor maart 2016 in het Nationaal Archief zouden liggen. Het Nationaal Archief moet vervolgens bepalen wanneer het publiek toegang krijgt tot de stukken, aldus de minister.
Alien-jagers denken dat de stukken bewijzen dat buitenaards leven bestaat, omdat het de meest geheime documenten betreft die in verschillende ministerkantoren zijn bewaard.
Onderzoeker Miguel Mendonça kreeg gisteren van het Britse ministerie van Defensie te horen dat de UFO-stukken zo rond 25 mei zullen worden overgedragen aan het Nationaal Archief.

WORDT ER BOVEN HET CERN EEN DIMENSIEPORTAAL GEOPEND? ( VIDEO )
WORDT ER BOVEN HET CERN EEN DIMENSIEPORTAAL GEOPEND? ( VIDEO )
Het is niemand duidelijk wat er precies gebeurt bij CERN in Zwitserland, maar het lijkt er nu toch echt op dat ze dimensieportalen aan het openen zijn.
Ogenschijnlijk werd het hele complex stilgelegd nadat een steenmarter een tunnel was binnengedrongen, maar wellicht was de werkelijke reden wel een hele andere.
Wat er zich allemaal precies afspeelt bij CERN in Zwitserland is voor een buitenstaander niet helemaal duidelijk, maar dat er zich daar een aantal wetenschappers bezighouden met activiteiten waardoor we in andere dimensies terecht kunnen komen, zoveel is helder.
De krachtigste deeltjesversneller ter wereld blijkt niet resistent te zijn tegen kleine scherpe tandjes. De Large Hadron Collider (LHC) van het Europees Centrum voor Nucleair Onderzoek CERN vlakbij Genève ligt sinds gisteravond stil nadat een wezel een stuk bekabeling doorbeet.
De Large Hadron Collider, die een ondergrondse, 27 kilometer lange ring vormt, is een van de meest complexe machines ter wereld. De komende dagen zal het toestel echter stilliggen voor reparatiewerkzaamheden.
Dat was dan waarschijnlijk wel een heel bijzondere marter, want het complex heeft wekenlang stil gelegen en werd rond 8 mei weer opgestart.
Direct daarna gebeurde er iets merkwaardigs met een aantal radarsystemen die een perfecte cirkelvormige wolkenformatie weergaven boven CERN.
CERN heeft publiekelijk aangekondigd dat ze zich dit jaar bezig zullen houden met supersymmetrie en donkere materie. De energieniveaus die door CERN dit jaar gehanteerd zullen worden, zijn daarom dan ook hoger dan ooit tevoren.
De wolken op de radar tonen een perfecte cirkel, maar er is geen bui gevallen.
Zijn de wetenschappers bij CERN er misschien in geslaagd om een dimensieportaal te openen? Het is dan ook niet voor niets dat ze hebben gezegd dat dit jaar het jaar zal worden waarin ze echt resultaten zullen bereiken.
Ook afgelopen december leek het er al op dat CERN erin was geslaagd om een dimensieportaal te openen, zoals wij schreven in het eerdere artikel:
Enkele dagen geleden zijn er nogal bijzonder beelden opgedoken waarbij een UFO schijnt te verdwijnen in een soort spiraalwolk, pal boven het CERN terrein in Geneve.
Ohja, CERN zegt dat de vorming van de cirkelvormige wolken niets met hen te maken heeft, maar dat het een probleem met de radar is. Tuurlijk.
Een voor velen bekend gegeven, is dat wanneer er een UFO in de buurt is er elektrische storingen optreden.
Talloze verhalen van ooggetuigen waarbij automotoren opeens niet meer werken en batterijen van mobiele telefoons zomaar ineens leeg zijn.
Update: 12 mei 2016
Wij mogen ons gelukkig prijzen met onze lezers, want daar zijn er een aantal bij die hele scherpe ogen hebben.
Terwijl wij in de video in het originele artikel allemaal kijken naar de UFO die van links naar rechts door het beeld verschijnt, missen velen (waaronder wij) de UFO die met enorme snelheid van rechts naar links door het beeld schiet.
Op de volgende twee afbeeldingen is die ufo te zien en wil je hem op de video in het originele artikel bekijken, moet je rond minuut 48 goed je ogen open houden.
Origineel artikel: 10 mei 2016
Het komt echter niet vaak voor dat je iets dergelijks in de praktijk kunt zien.
In de buurt van een klein Pools dorp, Majdan in de buurt van Lublin, gebeurde iets heel merkwaardigs.
In de onderstaande video zie je hoe een cirkelvormige ufo langzaam een windmolenpark nadert.
Dan gebeurt er iets wat je niet dagelijks zult zien; de windmolen stopt met draaien. Nadat de UFO is gepasseerd, beginnen de wieken weer gewoon te draaien alsof er niet is gebeurd.

The British X-files could be made available to the public in the coming days. Alien hunters are now excited to know more about the infamous Rendlesham UFO case. British officials already confirmed the files be transferred to the National Archives within the month.
UFO researchers have been fighting for the release of 18 top secret Ministry of Defence (MoD) files on government investigations of UFO sightings.
The Government has long faced allegations about cover-ups, and it worsened when their release of records involving UFO sightings and investigations did not push through at the end of 2013. The release stalled this March again.
Former MoD investigator on UFO sightings, Nick Pope, believes the files contain unusual sightings. However, he doesn’t think that the soon-to-be-released records involve the UK version of the US hangar cover up.
Lord Black of Brentwood has been exerting many efforts for the release of these records to the National Archives.
Mr Pope sympathized with alien researchers when the release of data was stalled, which the defense ministry blamed on additional processing requirements.
Mr Pope served the MoD for 21 years and said that they did not have any crashed spaceships hidden from the public in some RAF hanger. However, he stressed that they did have some fascinating and unexplained cases in their files.

Astronaut breaks 20-year silence: The Mystery Over UFO Tether Incident Of 1996
Astronaut breaks 20-year silence: The Mystery Over UFO Tether Incident Of 1996
There’s a conclusive proof to solve the mystery in one of the most infamous UFO cases 20 years ago, according to a former NASA astronaut.
Tom Jones, who was on four space shuttle missions in a span of over 11 years, said that he could solve the mystery of UFO Tether Incident in 1996.
The story revolves around the mystery of a satellite, which was tethered to the space shuttle, breaking off. Astronauts on board later filmed it and apparently saw hundreds of UFOs swarmed it like organisms swimming in a sea.
Conspiracy theorists believe there are many NASA astronauts and personnel who have witnessed evidence of aliens and UFOs, but not all have blown the whistle.
Those who have come forward include the sixth astronaut to walk on the moon, Edgar Mitchell, who said he had proof of alien races that were in contact with the US government.
However, Mr Jones isn’t convinced of testimonies from whistleblowers, including Mitchell. Mr Jones said the explanation for mysterious sightings was simpler.
He stated that astronauts haven’t seen any proof of alien life. He suggested that these astronauts may have seen ice crystals, lightning flashes, drifting orbital debris, or streaking meteors in the dark atmosphere below.
When asked about the 1996 Tether Incident, which has received mass reports of Mr Jones’ crew seeing UFOs, he answered that those mysterious objects floating alongside the ship for the first couple of days of the flight were just ice crystals.
However, conspiracy theorists are still convinced that NASA astronauts are under threat of breach of national security oaths, and the penalty of death may be imposed should they reveal anything deemed classified, including the sightings of aliens and UFOs.
Compelling evidence of an alien visitation from space just took place when a bizarre UFO was recorded on video stopping a turbine as it moved through a wind farm, according to some alien investigators.
The video was shot in the remote area of Madjdanek, Lublin, Poland in April this year. It apparently shows an unusual circular object flying slowly towards a wind turbine.
The rotors that were turning, suddenly came to a complete stop as the orb was approaching. They started to rotate again after the object had passed.
Polish paranormal YouTube channel Grupa obserwacyjna posted the video clip to the commercial video sharing site.
According to the channel, the object came from the east and flew over the area for about an hour. The object disappeared after the recording.
It was claimed to have been filmed on April 17.
The event is now being debated on several online UFO forums.
According to some UFO researchers, NASA knows very well this kind of metallic, orb object. They say that the orbs following near to the space shuttle Atlantis were similar to this one.
Since the footage went online, other witnesses say that the same object was spotted over Zgorzelec flying in a north-easterly direction just within 24 hours of the event.
We all know that major storms can wreak havoc, flooding cities and decimating infrastructure. But there’s an even bigger worry than wind and rain: space weather. If a massive solar storm hit us, our technology would be wiped out. The entire planet could go dark.
“We’re much more reliant on technology these days that is vulnerable to space weather than we were in the past,” Thomas Berger, director of the Space Weather Prediction Center at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told Gizmodo. “If we were hit by an extreme event today, it’d be very difficult to respond.”
“Solar storm” is a generic term used to describe a bunch of stuff the Sun hurls our way, including x-rays, charged particles, and magnetized plasma. A massive solar storm hasn’t hit the Earth since the mid-19th century, but space weather scientists are very worried about the possibility of another.
Solar Flares
A solar storm usually starts with a solar flare — a giant explosion on the surface of the sun that sends energy and particles streaming off into space. Small, C-class flares occur all the time and are too weak to affect the Earth, while mid-sized M-class flares can produce minor radio disruptions. X-class flares, meanwhile, are the largest explosions in the solar system, releasing up to a billion hydrogen bombs worth of energy. These eruptions occur very rarely, but when they do, they’re an epic sight.
One of the most powerful flares measured with modern instruments took place during a solar maximum in 2003. It was so large it maxed out our satellite sensors, which registered an X-28 (28 types larger than an X-1 flare, which itself is 10 times greater than an M1 flare). Here’s what that event looked like:

Despite observing flares for over a century, scientists still aren’t totally sure what causes the Sun to erupt. We do know that flares have a lot to do with disruptions in the Sun’s powerful magnetic field, which oscillates over the course of an 11-ish year solar cycle.
“Solar storms originate in magnetic features that erupt from the surface of the sun,” explained space weather scientist Joe Gurman, speaking to Gizmodo from NASA’s Goddard Spaceflight Center. “We call these active regions, or sunspots. When they’re big and ugly, that’s an indication that the magnetic field is changing rapidly. And when the magnetic field changes rapidly, that appears to be the cause — or related to the cause — of solar activity.”
A mid- to large-sized solar flare would send waves of high energy radiation — x rays and ultraviolet light — zipping toward the Earth. These types of radiation are powerful enough to rip electrons off of atoms. That’s exactly what they start doing when they hit the upper portion of our atmosphere, known as the ionosphere. Basically, the sky gets zapped with a giant electromagnetic pulse. But according to Berger, even the biggest flares don’t impact humans very much.
“It’s a huge EM pulse that roils up the ionosphere, causing it to expand out,” Berger said. “But the solar flare really doesn’t damage technology.”
The one exception is radio. Radio signals between the Earth and orbiting satellites can be blocked when the atmosphere becomes too charged.
“Radio communications are sometimes impacted,” Berger noted. “Over the horizon radio becomes difficult. When airplanes are flying over the poles, the only way they communicate with control centers is high frequency radio waves bouncing over the continents. But it’s just a temporary difficulty lasting ten minutes to hours at the most.”
We don’t have a great way of forecasting solar flares, and they hit the Earth too quickly for NOAA to provide airline companies with advance notice (it takes about eight minutes for sunlight to reach us).
“The only thing we can do is issue an alert when we see one,” Berger said. “Airlines are very interested in flare effects on high frequency communications, and if there’s a really large event, they’ll consider grounding flights.”
If you’re not an airline operator, you pretty much get to sit this one out. But don’t forget to check out the amazing images over at NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory every now and then.
Charged Particles
Minutes to hours after a solar flare lights up the sky, a stream of charged particles — electrons and protons — arrive at the Earth. They bombard the magnetosphere, a protective envelope around Earth created by our magnetic field. “We see the radiation level go up sometimes, which can indicate that particles are impinging on Earth’s orbit,” said Berger.

Occasionally, a large pulse of charged particles will hit orbiting satellites and damage their electronics. Particle radiation is also a big health risk for humans in space.
“We do have to worry about energetic particles on the ISS,” Gurman said. “If we ever get to the point of being a spacefaring race, they’re going to become a much bigger concern.”
But by and large, the effects of solar particle radiation are buffered by the magnetosphere and atmosphere. It’s what’s coming next that you and me on the ground need to worry about.
Coronal Mass Ejections
When the Sun flares up, it sometimes shoots a giant cloud of magnetized plasma off into space. This is called a coronal mass ejection (CME). CMEs are the slowest form of solar weather, taking anywhere from 12 hours to several days to reach the Earth. They’re also by far the most dangerous.
Fortunately, because CMEs are slow moving, our space weather forecasters have a little more time to anticipate them. They examine images of the Sun, pulled from the SOHO and STEREO satellites. When our observatories see something big, NOAA responds.
Berger outlined what happens next: “A watch is issued when we see something happen on the Sun headed toward the Earth. Typically if there’s a large CME, something major we think could impact the Earth, we put out a watch.”
A CME will shoot pretty much straight out from the Sun, and there’s always a good chance that the Earth won’t end up in its path. If a CME is coming straight at us, it’ll first hit NASA’s ACE satellite, located at the L1 Lagrange point roughly a million miles in front of the Earth. If that happens, we’ve got anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before a cloud of plasma rains down from above, interacting with our planet’s magnetosphere and triggering a geomagnetic storm.
That’s when you start to see effects on the power grid.

“This generates huge electrical currents in upper atmosphere of Earth,” Berger said. “Depending on how conductive the ground is, you can get large currents getting picked up by power stations and fed into the grid.” And that’s bad news, because “our grid isn’t designed for huge amounts of current coming out of the ground.”
Geomagnetic storm strength is measured in “disturbance storm time” or Dst, which essentially describes how hard a CME shakes up Earth’s magnetic field. Ordinary storms, which cause the northern lights to flare up but otherwise don’t impact us, register somewhere in the neighborhood of Dst = -50 nT (nanoTesla). The worst geomagnetic storm of the space age, which knocked out power across Quebec in March of 1989, registered a Dst = -600 nT.
But even that 1989 storm looks puny in comparison to the Carrington event, a geomagnetic storm that zapped the Earth 156 years ago. At the time, the damage wasn’t too bad. But a Carrington-sized storm today could spell disaster.
Monster Storms
The Carrington event of September, 1859 is named for Richard Carrington, the English astronomer who saw the sun flare up with his own eyes. In the days following Carrington’s observation, a series of powerful CMEs hit the Earth head-on, igniting the northern lights as far south as Cuba. Currents electrified telegraph lines, shocked technicians, set telegraph papers on fire, and caused widespread communications outages.
Modern estimates for the strength of this storm range from Dst = -800 nT to -1750 nT.

Human society is far more reliant on electricity today than it was 156 years ago. Berger pointed out that today we have pipelines, electrical transmission grids, and a lot more ground-based electrical conduction technology. So, what would happen if a Carrington-sized event struck us now? Pretty much ever aspect of the modern world would take a hit, according to a report by the National Academies of Sciences.
The ground currents induced by large geomagnetic storms can melt the copper windings of transformers that lie at the heart of power distribution systems. If this happens, it can lead to massive power outages. And because our power grid has grown much more interconnected over time, the effects of such an outage today could be spread far and wide.

It’s hard to overstate just how much this would uproot our lives. The lights would of course go out, as would the internet, and any device that draws current from the wall. In places with electronically-controlled municipal water supplies — like most modern cities — toilets and sewage treatment systems would stop working. Heating and air conditioning would fail. Perishable food and medication would be lost. ATMs would be useless. Gas pumps would go offline. And so forth.
GPS technology would also be knocked out. Said Grunman, “The GPS system depends on the very precise timing of a course of signals between two points, like a spacecraft and your phone. If you dump a bunch of energetic particles into the atmosphere, that effects your GPS. Which is sobering when you consider the replacement of old aircraft landing technology with GPS.”
Some of these effects could last years, and they’d be felt globally. “The entire magnetic field of the Earth is changing, so the entire Earth feels it,” said Berger.

It’s hard to fathom the social consequences of billions of power-hungry humans suddenly being pulled off the grid, but I think we can all agree it wouldn’t be pretty. What we do know for sure is that the economic toll would be enormous. The National Academies report estimates that total cost of a Carrington-sized event today could exceed $2 trillion dollars — 20 times greater than the cost of Hurricane Katrina.
It’s important to keep in mind that we aren’t talking about some incredibly far-fetched, Armageddon-style apocalypse situation here. In fact, in July of 2012, a massive CME ripped through Earth’s orbit and narrowly missed us. That event, which was picked up by NASA’s STEREO-A satellite, would have registered a Dst of -1200 nT — comparable to the Carrington event.
“If it had hit, we would still be picking up the pieces,” space weather scientist Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado told NASA in 2014. “How many other [storms] of this scale have just happened to miss Earth and our space detection systems? This is a pressing question that needs answers.”
Are We Dead in the Water?
Hopefully we can enact some smart mitigation policies before the techno-pocalypse befalls us. Image Credit: Shutterstock
Thanks to a growing army of space weather observatories, we’re much better able to predict CMEs than we were 20 years ago. Still, most space weather scientists agree that if a massive solar storm struck today, we’d be pretty screwed. But we’re trying to change that.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has assembled a task force to explore ways of responding to extreme events. Berger said that they have a national space weather strategy due out in October. The strategy will outlines what the US needs to do to be “better prepared.”
Berger couldn’t comment on the specifics of the policy strategy, so we’ll have to check in again this fall. He did hint that it would be heavy on the recommendations for power suppliers. (Currently, power companies respond to large solar storm warnings by re-routing power distribution around transformers.)
In the meanwhile, what can a space weather-conscious Earthling do? Most of the usual disaster preparedness advice applies. Build an emergency supply kit.Have a plan for getting in touch with loved ones should the phones fail. Keep your car tank at least half full of gasoline. Keep extra batteries on hand, or purchase a solar or hand-crank charger. Back up your data. Make sure you’ve got plenty of spare crowbars — wait, no, that’s the zombie apocalypse.

For the first time, physicists have observed a mysterious process called magnetic reconnection—wherein opposing magnetic field lines join up, releasing a tremendous burst of energy. The discovery, published today inScience, may help us unlock the secrets of space weather and learn about some of the weirdest, most magnetic objects in the universe.
The magnetosphere, an invisible magnetic field surrounding our planet, is a critical shield for life on Earth. It protects us from all sorts of high energy particles emitted by the sun on a daily basis. When a particularly large burst of solar energy hits the edge of the magnetosphere (called the magnetopause), it can trigger space weather. This includes geomagnetic storms that light up the northern and southern skies with auroras, occasionally knocking out our satellites and power grids.
A better understanding of space weather is key to helping us prepare for thenext massive geomagnetic storm—a once-in-a-century event that could quite literally cause a global power surge. Magnetic reconnection is at the heart of the mystery, underlying both the formation of solar eruptions and how they interact with our planet.
“The process of space weather starts on the sun—reconnection there produces coronal mass ejections and solar flares, both of which lead to space weather at the Earth,” James Burch, a space weather scientist at the Southwest Research Institute told Gizmodo. “When the solar wind and its embedded magnetic field lines collide with Earth’s magnetosphere at a high angle, then you have a direct connection between the sun and the Earth.”
Now, for the first time, Burch and his colleagues have observed that sun-Earth connection at the subatomic scale, using data collected by NASA’sMagnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. This high-resolution physics laboratory consists of four identical spacecraft that fly in pyramid formation around Earth’s magnetopause, collecting precise information on tiny charged particles every 30 milliseconds.

Almost as soon as the mission launched in March of 2015, researchers started observing magnetic reconnection at unprecedented resolution. The most detailed of those is the subject of the new paper. “We hit the jackpot,” Roy Torbert, MMS deputy principal investigator said in a statement. “The spacecraft passed directly through the electron dissipation region, and we were able to perform the first-ever physics experiment in this environment.”
The features of reconnection recorded in the data include a drop in the magnetic field to near zero, and a power spike generated by accelerating electrons. “We realized that the process of reconnection is really driven by electrons,” Burch said. “Before, all measurements had been made at much larger scales. People could see dramatic effects, but these are the result of reconnection, not the cause.”
Burch and his colleagues are continuing to study five other instances of magnetic reconnection recently observed by the MMS, and they’re hopeful the mission will yield more events for years to come. In addition to shedding light on space weather, magnetic reconnection can help us understand exotic astronomical objects like magnetars, as well as the strong magnetic environments created by fusion reactors.
“The quality of the MMS data is absolutely inspiring,” said James Drake, a physicist at the University of Maryland and a co-author on the study. “It’s not clear that there will ever be another mission quite like this one.”
Vadim Chernobrov is way out there. An energetic Russian with an Abe Lincoln beard and a polyester three-piece suit, Chernobrov cut his teeth in UFO research as an employee of the “spacecraft department” of Moscow’s Aviation Institute.
At one stage Chernobrov decided to branch into time travel. Not surprisingly, he had problems getting state funding.
With his meager savings he built a time machine himself. To avoid ridicule, Chernobrov and his team didn’t actually call it a time machine. They preferred “Prospective Space Transportation System.” The system is small: slightly larger than a basketball, in fact, and covered, apparently, in “electromagnetic skins.”
The orb has a top panel that could lift up, revealing a tangle of wires and several small clocks. One wire pokes out, connecting the device to an electrical transformer.
Chernobrov claims the Prospective Space Transportation System could control time rates. In his tests he claims to show that for every 3,600 seconds outside of the system that only 3,560 seconds would pass inside – 40 seconds slower.
The electromagnetic fields, he said, altered the passage of time.

New Jersey witness says UFO lights connected by black bar
A New Jersey witness at Monroe Township reported watching and videotaping two bright lights in the sky that appeared to be connected by a black bar, according to testimony in Case 67881 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The reporting witness was getting out of her car when her daughter pointed out a “weird object” in the sky at 9:33 p.m. on June 29, 2015.
“So I looked up at the sky and saw a large, bright, white light attached to a smaller bright light that appeared to be a black bar attaching them,” the witness stated.“It appeared to be low and hovering.”

The two witnesses did not stay until the object moved away.
“Me and my daughter eventually left after taking pictures and video and I did not observe it leaving. We were feeling anxious and surprised to see something like that.”
New Jersey Field Investigator Glenn Green investigated for MUFON and closed the case as an Unknown.
“The pictures were actually above average,” Green wrote in his report.“The fact that they calmly walked back into their house when the object was in full hover outside was telling. I am ruling out a glider being towed because it was at night. The angle of the object, which was very low and not moving, tends to rule out a satellite. This one is an Unknown.”

This is kinda scary. We saw things like this in movies, like Gravity, but what happens when a micro meteorite hits a window of the space station? This photo is the answer to that question. Lucky for them that window held up under pressure, or they would have had to abandon the station. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Description: The European-built Cupola was added to the International Space Station in 2010 and continues to provide the best room with a view anywhere. In addition to serving as an observation and work area when the crew operates the Station’s robotic arms, it also provides excellent views of Earth, celestial objects and visiting vehicles. Its fused-silica and borosilicate-glass windows, however, sometime suffer from impacts by tiny artificial objects: space debris. ESA astronaut Tim Peake took this photo from inside Cupola last month, showing a 7 mm-diameter circular chip gouged out by the impact from a tiny piece of space debris, possibly a paint flake or small metal fragment no bigger than a few thousandths of a millimetre across. The background just shows the inky blackness of space. “I am often asked if the International Space Station is hit by space debris. Yes – this is the chip in one of our Cupola windows, glad it is quadruple glazed!” says Tim. To cater for such possibilities, the Station is provided with extensive shielding around all vital crew and technical areas, so that minor strikes, like this one, pose no threat. While a chip like the one shown here may be minor, larger debris would pose a serious threat. An object up to 1 cm in size could disable an instrument or a critical flight system on a satellite. Anything above 1 cm could penetrate the shields of the Station’s crew modules, and anything larger than 10 cm could shatter a satellite or spacecraft into pieces. “ESA is at the forefront of developing and implementing debris-mitigation guidelines, because the best way to avoid problems from orbital debris is not to cause them in the first place,” says Holger Krag, Head of ESA’s Space Debris Office. “These guidelines are applied to all new missions flown by ESA, and include dumping fuel tanks and discharging batteries at the end of a mission, to avoid explosions, and ensuring that satellites reenter the atmosphere and safely burn up within 25 years of the end of their working lives.”
SCIENTISTS CERTAIN: ADVANCED ALIEN LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS EXISTS
SCIENTISTS CERTAIN: ADVANCED ALIEN LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS EXISTS
Are we alone out there? The question of whether or not other advanced civilizations exist somewhere in the vast universe has long been one of the most perplexing uncertainties in science. But new research suggests that the odds of humans being the only intelligent species to have ever existed are next to zero.
In a recent study published in the journal Astrobiology, researchers Adam Frank and Woodruff Sullivan used newly obtained data to reformulate the famous Drake equation, which calculates the probability that intelligent life currently exists in the universe, to measure the probability that intelligent life has ever existed in the universe. Introduced by Dr. Frank Drake in 1961, the original Drake equation identified specific factors thought to play a role in the development of advanced civilizations in order to estimate the number of technological civilizations that may currently exist in our galaxy. Over the past half a century, it has been the most widely accepted tool in the scientific community to predict the current existence of other advanced civilizations ( via good.is ).
Yet three large uncertainties plague the original Drake equation. "We've known for a long time approximately how many stars exist,” Frank explained in a statement. “We didn't know how many of those stars had planets that could potentially harbor life, how often life might evolve and lead to intelligent beings, and how long any civilizations might last before becoming extinct… Thanks to NASA's Kepler satellite and other searches, we now know that roughly one-fifth of stars have planets in 'habitable zones,' where temperatures could support life as we know it. So one of the three big uncertainties has now been constrained."
ALIEN LIFE EXISTS ON OTHER PLANETS
Although it is still completely unknown how long other civilizations might survive, a simple change of semantics to the proposed question eliminates this issue altogether. By looking at the probability of how many times in the history of the universe life has evolved to an advanced state, Frank and Sullivan estimate a one in 10 billion trillion chance that humans are the only intelligent species to have ever existed. “One in 10 billion trillion is incredibly small,” Frank said. “To me, this implies that other intelligent, technology-producing species very likely have evolved before us.”
While the odds are extremely high that we aren’t the first intelligent civilization to have ever existed, the original question still remains: Are there any other advanced civilizations that currently exist? "The universe is more than 13 billion years old," explains Sullivan. "That means that even if there have been a thousand civilizations in our own galaxy, if they live only as long as we have been around—roughly ten thousand years—then all of them are likely already extinct. And others won't evolve until we are long gone. For us to have much chance of success in finding another "contemporary" active technological civilization, on average they must last much longer than our present lifetime."

British Cop Witnesses TALL WHITE Aliens Inspecting Fresh Crop Circle
British Cop Witnesses TALL WHITE Aliens Inspecting Fresh Crop Circle
Not many people know this, but back in 2009 a British police officer witnessed ‘Alien Beings’ inspecting a fresh crop circle in a middle of a field!
The Police Sergeant who has not been named, witnessed the event back in 2009. The Policeman was off duty at the time when he noticed the unusual ‘Beings’ in the field.
The Police Officer pulled his car over and walked over to the field to see what was going on as he apparently had a ‘strange’ feeling about what he was seeing. However, as he approached the ‘men’ – who were all way over 6ft tall with long blond hair – he suddenly heard “the sound of static electricity” and the trio ran away ”faster than any man he had ever seen” so fast that it apparently almost seemed ‘unreal’.
Many crop circles, including this one in May 2009, have appeared near Silbury Hill, Wiltshire
Leaving the scene of the strange event the Police Officer jumped quickly back into his car and travelled back home to Marlborough, Wiltshire, and then contacted paranormal experts and told them he had spotted a UFO.
Not surprisingly the Police force that the Officer works for, refused to comment at the time and stated “That it was a personal matter!”
The unnamed Police Officer asked for support off a Gentleman called Andrew Russell who is a Crop Circle Investigator. Andrew described in detail what the Police officer saw on that unusual day:
”At first he thought they were forensic officers as they were dressed in white coveralls. He stopped his car and approached the field. ‘The figures were all over 6ft and had blond hair. They seemed to be inspecting the crop. When he got to the edge of the field he heard what he believed to be a sound not dissimilar to static electricity.
”This crackling noise seemed to be running through the field and the crop was moving gently, close to where the noise was.
”He shouted to the figures who, at first, ignored him, not glancing at him. When he tried to enter the field they looked up and began running.
”He said; ‘They ran faster than any man I have ever seen. I’m no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone.
”I then got scared. The noise was still around but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car. For the rest of the day I had a pounding headache I couldn’t shift.”
This strange incident happened on July 6th as the Police Officer was driving down the road. Apparently the three very tall figures were inspecting the odd-shaped Crop Circle in the field. They all appeared deeply interested and analysing the Crop Circle – was it them who made it, or possibly was it their fellow colleagues from a far!?
The crop circle had been there in the field for a few days before this incident.
2009 was a very popular year for Crop Circles in the Wiltshire area, UK.
When the Police Officer walked over the unusual beings, they suddenly become ‘disturbed’ looking and ran off at speeds beyond the Officers belief! As soon as he looked away for a split second they were ‘gone’
A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said:
”The police officer was apparently off duty when this happened so we have no comment to make because it is a personal not a police matter.”
Another Crop Circle Expert, Colin Andrews, who investigated the incident alongside Andrew Russell, said he is ”convinced” by the police officer’s story and does not see any reason at all why the Officer would of made this story up!
”I am quite convinced the officer had an experience that day and one that we have not fully explored.”I think with the unusual movement of the being and the poltergeist experiences there is too much additional information to say that is something in nothing.” He said
Some have suspected that this was the Tall White Aliens that the Officer had witnessed. The Tall whites have even been acknowledged by Edward Snowden, who believes that they are very much in contact with Planet Earth and watching our every move.
The Tall Whites
U.I.P SUMMARY – It is very interesting that this sighting was in Wiltshire, as this is one of the key UFO/Crop Circle areas around the world .Could it possibly be that what this Police Officer saw were the Beings who are responsible for these crop circles being formed around the UK, or perhaps they are just as curious as to ‘what else’ is out there trying to communicate with Earth.
Yes Crop Circles have been deemed by many to be elaborate fakes by students or Drunk Famers at night, but when you actually look at the sheer amount of detail involved to these incredible designs, I personally feel it is impossible for any humans to create such a spectacle over night, in the pitch black of night!
Some people believe that Crop Circles were made by Orbs – please see a video below of an ‘apparent’ Orb caught on camera making a crop circle:
As far as what or WHO these Beings are, is a completely different matter altogether! The way that they have been described sounds just like the Tall White Aliens, and the way they move would kind of confirm that there were no odd-ball humans, but something else, something very unique and different!?
Is it a coincidence that one of the most unknown areas of the world, Stonehenge, is in Wiltshire, and that we have so many unusual sightings in this part of the UK……I don’t think so, and this is why this part of the world is one of THE top UFO Hotspots.
Hope to see you all at the end of August at one of the UK’s main UFO event – Warminster 2015

IN BRIEF
Scientists are currently developing methods to combine the best of both technologies, allowing them to grow organoid not only from naturally-occurring cells, but also from gene edited cells. In essence, the researchers are growing mini organs from cells that have been genetically-manipulated.
THE ERA OF GENE EDITING
The advances made in genetic engineering and gene editing in recent times have been many and amazing. Improvements to the CRISPR/Cas 9 gene editing method have allowed easy, accurate, and targeted modifications to human DNA.
Likewise, the development of a method to grow tissue-specific organoids (kinds of ‘mini-organs’) could help in modeling diseases, screening drugs, and possibly even replacing defective tissue.
What if we can combine these two?
Scientists are currently developing methods to bring together the best of both technologies, allowing them to grow organoid not only from naturally-occurring cells, but also from gene edited cells.
See the video below to learn more about how CRISPR works:
NEW EFFORTS
One such scientist working on these methods is Hans Clevers, of Utrecht University in the Netherlands. He is using adult gut stem cells, which are the only ones that get constantly renewed, in his technique. Ultimately, this allows him to directly grow organoids from patient tissue, without having to first convert the cells to induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC).
In his 2013 study regarding cystic fibrosis, a condition caused by a gene defect that leads to thick mucus buildup in the pulmonary and gastrointestinal tract, Clevers was able to show the combination of these two technologies.
Now, there’s been a new breakthrough.
A substance called forskolin has different effects to organoids grown from healthy tissue and those cultured from tissue infected with cystic fibrosis. The problem is that healthy tissue organoids swell when exposed to forskolin, while there is no effect of infected organoids. The researchers then edited the genetic defect away using CRISPR/Cas9 and homologous recombination, and then used these cells to grow organoids. When subjected to forskolin, the genetically-modified organoids swelled up like healthy tissue would.
Clever’s techniques are not limited to simple genetic diseases. In 2015, his team used CRISPR to manipulate genes linked to colon cancer, and then used the resulting cells to grow organoids. When transplanted into mice, these organoids grew the tumors characteristic of invasive carcinoma.
But Clever’s work is not the only ones in the field. Sara Howden of the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute in Australia is using CRISPR to develop kidney organoid models, while University of Washington’s Benjamin Freedman has developed a way to grow kidney organoids, which are used to study diseases like polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
It is truly a new age in fighting disease, and the future is looking remarkably bright.

10 Reasons Why Aliens Are Actually Fallen Angels or Demons
10 Reasons Why Aliens Are Actually Fallen Angels or Demons
1. The aliens of our time match the demons and fallen angels mentioned in the Bible in terms of their behavior.
2. Like the Bible predicts, aliens never affirm the deity of Christ nor do they claim to come in his name.
3. Aliens change their stories to delude man into believing their lies.
One example of this is that before man had been to outer space or sent satellites there, aliens would claim to be from planets such as Jupiter in our solar system. As time went on and man learned more about our planets, we realized that no one could live on a planet like Jupiter, so aliens changed their story. Now they claim to be from other solar systems and star clusters such as Andromeda and Pleiades.
4. Though aliens are said to be advanced, it seems they need us for their survival just as fallen angels need human beings to prey on.
There are various accounts of aliens taking tissue samples from humans, probing them, or impregnating women. This is the origin of the entities known as incubus and succubus.
5. Alien abductions are stopped by invoking the name of Jesus.
6. Aliens bring ideas to earth that will help man unite worldwide for a new era of consciousnesses.
This uniting prepares the way for their leader (who is possibly the Antichrist) by making mankind forget their religion and loyalty to their countries.
7. Aliens often contact “new-agers” and occultists, as opposed to Christians.
This is not always the case since people from all walks of life have been contacted by “aliens”. However, I believe that these “space brothers” are not too interested in contacting Christians. This is because Christians will be able to see through aliens’ disguise and know them for what they are: demons.
8. Aliens are not opposed to being worshipped by humans. They also deny their creator (God), claiming instead that they are Creators. This serves to draw man away from God. 9. Aliens give man technology but these “advancements” are usually destructive.
There are secret projects that many governments have in their budget which are usually for creating new weapons of war. Much of the technology for such weaponry is said to come from extraterrestrials. Why don’t aliens ever give us life-saving technology?
10. Aliens often emit horrible odors, such as sulfur.
Some call this smell the stench of Hell since it is a sign of the eternal fire.

Malawi is Using HIV-Fighting Drones To Help Protect Infants
Malawi is Using HIV-Fighting Drones To Help Protect Infants
123rf
IN BRIEF
The African nation of Malawi is now using drones to try and speed up the delivery of HIV tests for infants. The initiative hopes to reduce the delays associated with land transport due to poor roads and also offset the high costs.
SPEEDING UP COMBAT
Drones have seen a massive boon in many areas. Their ability to go nearly anywhere at anytime makes them very important, especially in areas that are hard to access. Moreover, since they can travel rapidly, they could be vital for medicine delivery and disaster relief.
Now, drones can take part in actual medical diagnosis. The African nation of Malawi is now testing the use of drones in speeding up the delivery of HIV testing for infants. The initiative hopes to reduce the delays associated with land transport due to poor roads and high costs.
The Government of Malawi has partnered with UNICEF in conducting the tests, including the first official test. This test was a 10 kilometer run from a community health centre to the Kamuzu Central Hospital laboratory.
EPIDEMIC
HIV is a particularly huge problem in Malawi. It has a 10% prevalence rate in the country, has infected an estimated 1 million people in 2013, and has killed 48,000 in the same year. According to UNICEF, the year 2014 saw nearly 40,000 children in Malawi born to HIV positive mothers.
While 90% of women in the country know their HIV status, there still remains a problem with testing and diagnosis in children. The obstacles to testing in Malawi’s children are summarized by Judith Shermen, UNICEF Chief, in a report:
“There are many delays in the continuum of getting HIV positive children on treatment, they need to come in early for testing, ideally before 2 months, between 6 and 8 weeks. Their tests, the dry bloodspots, need to get from the health facilities to one of the 8 laboratories nationwide.”
The UAV being used was built by US company Matternet exclusively for transportation. The tests will eventually lead to a cost comparison with road transport, and favourable reports will lead to the second phase, which will test flights from remote areas of the country.
Scientists assert that the low pressure conditions on Mars cause any water on its surface to boil at much lower temperatures, and it seems that this is what forms the dark streaks along Martian slopes.
WATER ON MARS
First, we learned that there’s strong evidence supporting the existence of liquid salt water that flows on Mars (granted, only a tiny amount, but still). Now we find out that this same water may actually be boiling.
Strange as it may seem, this actually fills in the blanks on the first discovery—the yearly appearance of huge dark streaks that appear on the planet’s surface, and which can be seen by telescopes and satellites.
You see, the issue is the streaks themselves and the supposed flowing water that causes them. These lines in the sand are far more puzzling than boiling water on the Red Planet, and it all has to do with pressure. Ultimately, the presence of these streaks has baffled scientists because the low pressure of the atmosphere in Mars should either freeze or boil water…it shouldn’t be flowing anywhere.
At least that’s how we understand things here on Earth.
NASA
To break this down a bit: The discovery of hydrated salt minerals was the first clue to the existence of liquid water on Mars. These minerals are found in the dark streaks that run down the Martian slopes every year in the summer. The streak can be seen growing in length down the slope, and this process is caused by the planet’s increasing temperatures. Then, when the world cools, this liquid flow stops, and they eventually disappear.
Susan Conway, of the University of Nantes in France, notes the problem: “The atmospheric pressure on Mars is very low compared to that on the Earth, which means that water boils at a much lower temperature than it does on Earth….on the Martian surface the pressure is 5 to 10 millibars, meaning that liquid water boils no matter what the temperature is.”
So, what is making the streaks if the water on Mars isn’t liquid?
BOILING WATER
To test this, scientists conducted an experiment that simulated the conditions on Mars to observe how water melts in such an atmosphere.
Massé et al., Nature
They found that even small amounts of water boiled in Martian conditions, and this boiling caused the formation of deep channels along the sand.
The results “show much less water is needed and that the water that is produced is very short-lived – therefore not a fabulous environment for micro-organisms,” says Conway. Their calculations even suggest that the boiling is even more intense with Mars’ gravity.
Artificially Intelligent Lawyer “Ross” Has Been Hired By Its First Official Law Firm
Artificially Intelligent Lawyer “Ross” Has Been Hired By Its First Official Law Firm

IN BRIEF
Ross, the world's first artificially intelligent attorney, has its first official law firm. Baker & Hostetler announced that they will be employing Ross for its bankruptcy practice, currently comprised of almost 50 lawyers.
ROSS: A VERY SMART ARTIFICIAL CO-WORKER
Law firm Baker & Hostetler has announced that they are employing IBM’s AI Ross to handle their bankruptcy practice, which at the moment consists of nearly 50 lawyers. According to CEO and co-founder Andrew Arruda, other firms have also signed licenses with Ross, and they will also be making announcements shortly.
Ross, “the world’s first artificially intelligent attorney” built on IBM’s cognitive computer Watson, was designed to read and understand language, postulate hypotheses when asked questions, research, and then generate responses (along with references and citations) to back up its conclusions. Ross also learns from experience, gaining speed and knowledge the more you interact with it.
“You ask your questions in plain English, as you would a colleague, and ROSS then reads through the entire body of law and returns a cited answer and topical readings from legislation, case law and secondary sources to get you up-to-speed quickly,” the website says. “In addition, ROSS monitors the law around the clock to notify you of new court decisions that can affect your case.”
Ross also minimizes the time it takes by narrowing down results from a thousand to only the most highly relevant answers, and presents the answers in a more casual, understandable language. It also keeps up-to-date with developments in the legal system, specifically those that may affect your cases.
THE LEGAL INDUSTRY ENHANCED
Baker & Hostetler chief information officer Bob Craig explains the rationale behind this latest hire: “At BakerHostetler, we believe that emerging technologies like cognitive computing and other forms of machine learning can help enhance the services we deliver to our clients.”
“BakerHostetler has been using ROSS since the first days of its deployment, and we are proud to partner with a true leader in the industry as we continue to develop additional AI legal assistants,” he added.

Godless Universe: A Physicist Searches for Meaning in Nature
Godless Universe: A Physicist Searches for Meaning in Nature
By Clara Moskowitz, Scientific American

It is time to face reality, California Institute of Technology theoretical physicist Sean Carroll says: There is just no such thing as God, or ghosts, or human souls that reside outside of the body. Everything in existence belongs to the natural world and is accessible to science, he argues. In his new book "The Big Picture: On the Origin of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself," out this week from Dutton, Carroll describes a guiding philosophy along these lines that he calls poetic naturalism. It excludes a supernatural or spiritual realm but still allows plenty of room for life to have a purpose.
"I think we can bring ideas like meaning and morality into our discussions of the natural world," Carroll says. "The ways that we talk about the universe are what make it meaningful." He eloquently argues that point in his far-ranging book, which takes on the origins of consciousness, the likeliness of God based on a rigorous application of Bayesian probability statistics, and many other "big" questions that scientists are often loath to tackle.

Scientific American spoke with Carroll about his philosophy and how we can all take a closer look at just what we truly, deeply believe. [An edited transcript of the conversation follows.]
Naturalism is the viewpoint that everything arises from natural causes and that there is no supernatural realm. You coin the term "poetic naturalism" for your own particular brand of this guiding philosophy. Why the need for a new term? Naturalism has been certainly been around for a very long time, but as more people become naturalists and talk to each other, their disagreements within naturalism are interesting. I thought there was a judicious middle ground, which I call poetic, between 'the world is just a bunch of particles," and "science can be used to discover meaning and morality."
To me the connotations of "poetic" are that there's some human choice that comes into how we talk about the world. In particular, when it comes to questions of morality and meaning, the way we go about deciding what is right and wrong, and meaningful or not, is not the same as the way we discover what is true and false.
Just because we have no evidence of another realm of reality beyond the physical world, how can we conclude it doesn't exist? It's not a matter of certainty, ever. I would make the argument that if there were a supernatural element that played a role in our everyday life in some noticeable way, it's very, very likely we would have noticed it. It just seems weird that this kind of thing would be so crucial and yet so difficult to notice in any controlled scientific way. I would make the case that it is sufficiently unlikely in a fair Bayesian accounting that we don't need to spend any time thinking about it anymore. Five hundred years ago it would have been a possibility. I think these days we're ready to move on.
All I can say at the end of the day is we should all be trying as hard as we can to guard against our individual cognitive biases, the things we want to be true. The existence of life after death, for example, I would love that to be true. My cognitive bias is in favor of that. And yet I don't think it is true. The best we can do is try to be honest.
So do you think it's impossible for a religious person to believe in poetic naturalism? Of course that depends on what you mean by religious. There's actually a movement called religious naturalism. Religion involves a whole bunch of things—practices, casts of mind, morals, etc., so you can certainly imagine calling yourself religious, reading the Bible, going to church and just not believing in God. I suspect the number of people who do that is much larger than the number of people who admit to it.
The mistake comes when we try to pretend that it doesn't matter what our view of the ontology of the world is. I think it does matter. But having made those decisions [about your worldview], there are many ways you can live a life that’s meaningful and socially relevant and familial. I think we have a misunderstanding of meaning because we relate it to something outside the natural world, when it doesn't have to be that.
This argument for naturalism feels particularly timely, when politicians and many in society are increasingly hostile to science and evidence-based thinking. How receptive to the approach of naturalism do you think most people are? I think that scientists have a sort of professional level of understanding of the universe, and scientists are overwhelmingly naturalists. Whereas people on the street, or in Washington, D.C., still don't admit to this. There aren't a lot of naturalists in Congress. The way we talk about these things in the public sphere has not caught up with the way we understand the universe as it really is.
As a physicist, what inspired you to write a book essentially on philosophy? It evolved over a very long time. I’ve always been interested in not only physics directly, but also the wider consequences. I was a philosophy minor as an undergraduate. I always have thought that doing physics was part of a larger intellectual project of trying to understand the whole world in different ways.
What do you hope readers take away from this book? I think there's a bunch of people who still, because they just haven't thought about it that much, have the informal idea that science can explain what happens when two atoms bump into each other, but it can't explain how the universe started or how life began. I hope people get the idea that we're well on our way to answering those questions. There's no obstacle in our way that says we're just not going to be able to.
La physique se trouve-t-elle à une époque charnière?
La physique se trouve-t-elle à une époque charnière?
C. Henze/NASA Ames Research Center
Un savant me disait un jour:« Lorsque la physique et la cosmologie sont en « crise » cela présage une grande avancée pour nos connaissances.«
Les grandes découvertes admises l’ont été en tant que telles après de âpres discussions et divers tests rigoureux de la part de la communauté scientifique.
Ensuite le travail continue dans l’ombre et plus grand chose ne filtre, n’en ressort pendant un long laps de temps.
Il faut dire que les recherches, les analyses et les résultats ne se font pas en un jour.
Les résultats mènent souvent à des applications à plus ou moins long terme.
La science fiction prend le risque de se tromper lourdement lorsque celle-ci prend de l’avance. Ceci dit , elle ose s’y aventurer plus ou moins habilement.
La réalité met le temps nécessaire pour la rattraper quelquefois et d’autrefois, jamais! Ci-dessous je vous partage un article ( que je ressort de mes archives ) qui définit comment l’aventure scientifique a permis aux savants d’observer des ondes gravitationnelles. Pour ma part j’ attends la suite avec une certaine impatience, car ceci débouchera sur du concret.
Découvrez la passionnante aventure scientifique qui a permis aux chercheurs d’observer les ondes gravitationnelles.
La date du 11 février 2016 rentrera dans l’histoire de la recherche scientifique. Pour la première fois, des vibrations d’une étrange nature venues de l’espace ont été détectées sur Terre, confirmant une prédiction d’Albert Einstein vieille d’un siècle. C’est un événement cataclysmique majeur qui a permis cette découverte. SooCurious vous explique comment.
« La théorie c’est quand on sait tout et que rien ne fonctionne, la pratique c’est quand tout fonctionne mais que l’on ne sait pas pourquoi », disait Albert Einstein. Ce pessimisme ne l’a nullement empêché d’échafauder des théories vertigineuses et pas toujours vérifiables dans l’immédiat faute de moyens techniques. Du point de vue mathématique, très ancré dans la théorie, la physique a un rôle pratique à jouer : à partir de l’examen de certaines équations, elle révèle de nouveaux éléments de réalité. Elle le fit déjà en prédisant, puis démontrant l’existence des photons, des antiparticules, des quarks et, plus récemment, en 2012, du boson de Higgs. Certaines théories ont mis des années pour « fonctionner », parfois même tout juste un siècle, comme la théorie des ondes gravitationnelles.
Les ondes électromagnétiques (perturbations des champs électrique et magnétique) sont produites par les particules chargées accélérées. De la même façon, les ondes gravitationnelles sont produites par des masses accélérées.
Lorsqu’un corps massif est soumis à une accélération, l’espace-temps autour de lui doit en permanence se réajuster, ce qui se traduit par de légères perturbations qui se propagent à la vitesse de la lumière. Elles sont causées par des phénomènes astrophysiques violents, comme une explosion des étoiles en supernova ou la fusion de deux trous noirs. Mais leur origine peut également remonter aux premiers instants suivant le Big Bang, événement très énergétique à l’origine de notre Univers survenu il y a plus de treize milliards d’années.
Car notre Univers est élastique : si on le secoue à une extrémité, il vibre et la secousse se propage jusqu’à l’autre bout, comme des cercles concentriques sur la surface d’un lac créés par la chute d’un caillou. Ces vibrations sont les ondes dites « gravitationnelles » car liées à la force de gravitation.
Leur existence a été pressentie dès 1905 par le mathématicien et physicien français Henri Poincaré(1854-1912). Mais c’est surtout Albert Einstein (1879-1955) qui a décrit l’existence de ces ondes en juin 1916, comme conséquence de sa théorie de la relativité générale, parue en 1915.
La gravitation étant très faible en intensité, de telles ondes sont très difficiles à détecter. Voilà pourquoi il a fallu attendre un siècle pour pouvoir élaborer des outils suffisamment précis.
Une preuve indirecte fut apportée en 1974 par les astrophysiciens américains Joseph Taylor et Russell Hulse. A cette époque, ils étudiaient le pulsar PSR1913+16, qui avait la particularité d’être membre d’un système binaire constitué de deux étoiles à neutrons. En examinant les émissions radio du pulsar, les deux astronomes furent en mesure de déterminer la période orbitale du couple. Ils se rendirent alors compte que celle-ci décroissait légèrement, d’un millième de seconde par an. La réduction mesurée correspond avec précision à celle prévue par la relativité générale dans l’hypothèse où la perte d’énergie serait due au rayonnement gravitationnel. Russell Hulse et Joseph Taylor ont été récompensés du prix Nobel de physique en 1993 pour cette découverte.
Depuis vingt ans, les observatoires construits pour détecter les ondes gravitationnelles sont des interféromètres géants. Le rayonnement provenant d’un laser est divisé en deux faisceaux. Ceux-ci sont envoyés dans des directions perpendiculaires, puis réfléchis par des miroirs et finalement recombinés. L’analyse de la lumière après recombinaison permet de dire si la durée de propagation de la lumière dans l’une des directions a été perturbée. Si tel est le cas, cela signifie que la distance parcourue par l’un des faisceaux a légèrement varié sous l’effet du passage d’une onde gravitationnelle.
Étant donné la faiblesse des effets à mesurer, ces interféromètres doivent être très sensibles. En particulier, la distance parcourue par la lumière doit être aussi grande que possible. Pour cette raison, ces détecteurs sont gigantesques, leurs bras font plusieurs kilomètres de long. Il est également important de réduire toutes les sources de bruit parasite, tout spécialement celles d’origine sismique ou thermique.
Aux Etats-Unis, l’observatoire LIGO est composé de deux interféromètres indépendants, l’un situé enLouisiane, l’autre dans l’Etat de Washington, à 3000 kilomètres de distance. LIGO a observé le ciel sans succès entre 2001 et 2010 et a été modernisé pour reprendre ses observations en septembre 2015. L’interféromètre Virgo, situé près de Pise en Italie, est une collaboration entre cinq pays européens. Sa première période d’observation s’est déroulée entre 2007 et 2011 et il est depuis dans une phase de mise à jour de sa sensibilité qui devrait s’achever en 2016.
Les efforts de la communauté scientifique ont été récompensés le 14 septembre 2015 lorsque les interféromètres de LIGO ont tous deux détecté indépendamment les distorsions de l’espace-temps provoquées par le bref passage d’ondes gravitationnelles. Ces ondes n’ont pu être détectées qu’avec la complicité d’un événement considérable qui s’est produit il y a plus d’un milliard d’années : deux trous noirs voisins ont fusionné à une vitesse égale aux deux tiers de la vitesse de la lumière ; ce phénomène hyperviolent a libéré une énergie inimaginable en seulement 20 millisecondes, et engendré un train d’ondes gravitationnelles qui ont progressivement perdu en puissance au cours de leur passage au travers de la Terre. Sans les outils aussi précis, il aurait fallu attendre qu’un événement se produise beaucoup plus près de la Terre, au risque de perdre quelques milliers d’années…
La détection fut détaillée dans la revue Physical Review Letters du 11 février par l’équipe de l’instrument LIGO. « Cette détection est le début d’une nouvelle ère, celle de l’astronomie des ondes gravitationnelles devenue désormais une réalité », affirme Gabriela Gonzalez, porte-parole de l’équipe LIGO, professeur d’astrophysique à la Louisiana State University.
Désormais les chercheurs travaillent sur un projet encore plus ambitieux. En effet, un détecteur à la surface de la Terre sera toujours très limité, contrairement à celui placé dans l’espace. Ainsi, un projet spatial de l’ESA appelé eLISA (Evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) est à l’étude. Il s’agirait d’un ensemble de satellites travaillant de façon coordonnée. Au lieu de quelques kilomètres, la taille équivalente du détecteur serait alors de plusieurs millions de kilomètres. Un tel système rendrait possible l’étude d’une plus grande variété de phénomènes ainsi que la détection d’événements beaucoup plus lointains. Le lancement est prévu à l’horizon 2028.
Les nouvelles perspectives offertes par cette découverte témoignent de sa portée scientifique. Les ondes gravitationnelles sont autant de signaux porteurs de caractéristiques de la source qui les a engendrées. Elles permettent ainsi de « voir » des phénomènes astrophysiques jusqu’ici totalement invisibles car n’émettant pas de rayonnement électromagnétique, comme l’effondrement gravitationnel des étoiles massives, la fusion de deux étoiles à neutrons dans un système binaire, ou le processus en jeu au centre des galaxies.
« Cela ouvre une grande période nouvelle et excitante. L’Univers est mû par la gravité, mais on ne l’observe qu’avec la lumière. Nous verrons enfin des choses jamais vues parce qu’elles n’émettent pas de lumière, estime Pierre Binétruy, professeur à l’université Paris-VII. Nous changeons d’époque. »
L’annonce du 11 février vient donc à point nommé pour célébrer le centenaire d’une extraordinaire construction intellectuelle née un jour dans le cerveau d’un génie. Pour l’instant, il est encore difficile de mesurer son impact pratique et il est beaucoup trop tôt pour que toute spéculation sur d’éventuels engins anti-gravité sorte du cadre de la science-fiction. Mais cela peut changer très vite, comme c’était le cas du laser, également prédit par Einstein. Lorsqu’il a été créé en 1960, très peu de gens misaient sur une quelconque application pratique. Aujourd’hui, le laser est partout.
New study shows that the dating on the Sphinx shows it may have been built as far back as 800,000 B.C.!
New discoveries show Akhenaten Nefertiti period dates further back to 12,000 B.C.
A lost culture, the antediluvian civilization, in Ancient Egypt was said by the Greek Philosopher Plato and the Famous Psychic Edgar Cayce to have possessed advanced technology, air and space travel and powerful mental and spiritual abilities.
After their continent was destroyed in a massive cataclysm, they transferred their wisdom and building knowledge to Ancient Egypt and hid their history in the construction of the Great Pyramid, Sphinx and a yet to be discovered Hall of Records.
Dr Carmen Boulter explains that her new discoveries reveal that the corrupt Amun Priesthood attempted to eliminate the royal family in Egypt and killed the Pharaoh Akhenaten and his son Tutankhamun (King Tut), but that Queen Nefertiti fled to another country and escaped their vicious treachery.
She also explores the possibility that Akhenaten and Nefertiti were supernatural beings that were giving humanity a new mystical philosophy of peace and spiritual attunement.
In an even more bizarre twist the latest carbon dating on this new Nefertiti site reveals that it dates back to 12,000 B.C. opening up all kinds of questions for our chronology of Ancient Egyptian and Atlantean history!
Dr. Boulter explores why there is such a complete media and archaeological blackout around the true nature of Ancient Egyptian culture and shows that occult forces that were working in ancient times still have an eerie legacy in our own time.
She states that the secrets these powerful groups are protecting may keep modern humanity in a state of disconnected physical consciousness and submerge our spiritual understanding to leave our mind, body and spirit vulnerable to hidden, nefarious control and keep it disassociated from its star origins.
Dr. Boulter also discusses her five-part documentary series, ‘The Pyramid Code’ that explores the esoteric wisdom the Egyptians used to build the incredible monuments at Giza.
Her new documentary series called ‘The New Atlantis’ will unveil her exciting research of an Atlantean culture that existed before recorded history, which formed the basis of the Sumerian, Egyptian, Mayan, and Inca Civilizations.
She also comments on a new study that shows the dating on the Sphinx shows it may have been built as far back as 800,000 B.C.!
RENDLESHAM UFO: Startling new evidence 'could solve Britain's Roswell once and for all'
RENDLESHAM UFO: Startling new evidence 'could solve Britain's Roswell once and for all'
SHOCKING new evidence has come forward that claims to PROVE once and for all that aliens DID visit a military base in the UK when a mass sighting of UFOs allegedly took place.
Two former military technicians have claimed a UFO WAS caught on radar and seen from the control tower of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge as well as in Rendlesham Forest, near Woodbridge, in Suffolk.
The claims are made in a new documentary which tries to tie up evidence linking UFO and alien visitations with nuclear facilities on Earth.
UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed, which is available to view online on Vimeo, is the culmination of years of investigation by researcher Robert Hastings, who penned the book UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites.
The film makes the case that alleged UFO crews have maintained a consistent interest in nuclear facilities on Earth.
There have been numerous alleged sightings by serving and former military personal and other witnesses of supposed UFOs over such installations for several decades.
The documentary says that nuclear weapons were being stored at Bentwaters at the time of the Rendlesham incident.
It has been dubbed Britain's Roswell after the mystery and infamouus UFO crash that allegedly happened outside the town in New Mexico, USA in July 1947.
The RAF bases were leased by the USAF at the time.
The UK alien sighting happened when three US officers based at RAF Bentwaters claimed a "triangular shaped craft" landed in neighbouring woods in the early hours of December 26 1980.
Retired Colonel Charles Halt, 76, who was base deputy commander at the time, claimed the officers who first saw the lights, and then a UFO "on the floor", could not account for a 40 minute period while searching in the woods when their communication systems went "off air".
The three officers - John Burroughs, Bud Steffens, and James Penniston, later told of feeling "static" as they observed the object's flashing lights and hieroglyphic-like markings.
Mr Halt then said on the evening of December 27 1980 that officers had shouted: "It's back, the UFO's back."
Mr Halt went to investigate with a team who found three 1.5inch "impact holes," damage to the canopies of trees and "higher radiation levels" in the "landing" area.
A plaster cast was later taken of one of the holes, but mysteriously disappeared from a box it was stored in.
He said soon after they saw a mysterious object in a field between the woods and a farmhouse with "a red light moving."
He said: "It came towards us into the forest, moving, bobbing up and down in the trees. It was oval, about 100 to 150 yards away, with a dark centre and red around it."
He claimed there were "sparks" coming from it and after a minute it "exploded and disappeared."
They then spotted objects in the sky, 3,000 to 4,000ft up.
It’s not like any radar target I have ever seen. When the sweep would hit the target, you would have the entire back of it would be like a solid line.
Rendlesham witness Ike Barker
The case was later investigated by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), but it concluded there was no evidence of alien visitations or any national security risk, and the sightings were most likely the result of beams of light from a nearby coastal lighthouse.
The new claims in the film appear to back up those made by Mr Holt last July when he appeared at a Rendlesham UFO conference, in Woodbridge, Suffolk, to mark the 35th anniversary of the sighting last July.
The new documentary says, at the time, RAF Bentwaters was the "largest American tactical nuclear bomb depot in Europe".
In an interview with Open Minds UFO Radio, Mr Hastings said in 2006 he noticed there had never been any testimony from air traffic controllers at the time about anything being caught on radar.
He tracked down who was manning the radars and control tower at the time and identified them as Jim Carey and Ike Barker.
The pair reveal their testimonies in the video for the first time, claiming a UFO was caught on radar, and that they saw it.
Mr Carey described seeing an object on radar when Mr Halt was in the forest.
He said: "I was just sitting there and I happened to see a dot come on the scope, and it just went one dot in the beginning, and another dot, another dot, and it was gone.
“All of a sudden, here it come back across again.
“It went one, two and then an immediate right hand turn and came right towards the base. I just said that can’t be one of ours. No jet at that speed can make an immediate right hand turn. Just absolutely phenomenal.”
Mr Barker said: “It’s not like any radar target I have ever seen. When the sweep would hit the target, you would have the entire back of it would be like a solid line.
“Traveling at an extremely high rate of speed, it passed over the control tower and then it stopped. I’ve never seen anything in my life like the manoeuverability that happened with this object.”
He said it was “orangish”, adding: “It sort of popped into my mind at the time that somebody is flying a basketball out here.
“There were lights around the centre of it, but it wasn’t like running lights or navigational lights. It was more like portholes, and you were seeing the light from the inside coming out. It wasn’t flashing lights or anything.
“It hovered momentarily, reversed its course, and went back out at a high rate of speed.”
The documentary also reveals documents originating in the former Soviet Union that it claims show similar UFO events at nuclear bases happened there.

Clinton and Bush insider spills beans on 'inexplicable UFOs' Government REFUSED to probe
Clinton and Bush insider spills beans on 'inexplicable UFOs' Government REFUSED to probe
A DECORATED former senior national security chief has revealed shocking new details about unexplained UFO sightings that the US Government FAILED to investigate'.
Christopher Mellon worked under the Clinton and George W Bush administrations
Christopher Mellon, who served for almost twenty years in the US federal government in a series of national security positions roles under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush, has spoken publicly for the first time about his knowledge of the US Government's involvement with aliens and UFOs.
Mr Mellon, who had high-level clearance, was on a committee with oversight of all Department of Defence (DoD) special access programmes and spent a decade on the Senate Intelligence Committee, has given rare answers to detailed questions on the subject as interest in the UFO subject continues to rise globally.
Mr Mellon, who in a gamekeeper-turned-poacher move joined the board of a serious UFO investigation body six months ago, described his frustration at the government's lack of proper investigation of what he described as inexplicable UFO sightings.
And his detailed answers to a series of questions from the board of UFO Data have been made public by the organisation.
In a recent Q&A interview, published on Huff Post, Mr Mellon, who received a string of service awards, including the National Reconnaissance Office Gold Medal, told how a "breathless naval aviator" called him to report seeing a Naval jet land after it was circled by a UFO in broad daylight.
Mr Mellon said: "The Navy did not pursue the issue as far as I could tell.
"I also recall the Maui Optical Tracking Facility, which tracks satellites, recording a flight of four or five fiery UFOs traversing the night sky.
"Nobody knew what to make of it. But no government official expressed the slightest interest even after the tape was featured on ABC’s 'Nightline'.
"I found the utter lack of scientific curiosity due to political correctness highly frustrating."
He said in 2006 pilots and airport staff saw a "disc-shaped object hovering over O’Hare airport.... for over five minutes.
"Yet no government investigation was undertaken," he said in the interview.
Mr Mellon is now calling for a proper scientific investigation of the existence of UFOs and aliens.
He said: "I think we have to ask ourselves a key question, and then bring it forward. 'Are there UFO cases that are sufficiently well-documented to warrant a scientific investigation of the phenomenon?' In my view, the answer is yes.
He believes the number of credible witness reports over so long, coupled with accounts from military and police personnel and the amount of recorded footage and independent radar data correlates too closely with reported sightings to ignore.
He said: "When someone you trust and respect, like a naval aviator, looks you in the eye and tells you he saw something truly extraordinary at close range, it’s hard not to take his testimony seriously.
"It is arrogant, unreasonable and unwise to dismiss such reports. We should simply and impartially follow the trail wherever it leads."
But, despite his frustration at investigations not being conducted by the authorities into UFO sightings, he is convinced the alleged US government cover-up over UFO sightings is not happening.
For years, alien chasers have accused world leaders and space agencies like NASA of knowing aliens visit the Earth, but refusing to tell the general population for fear of the impact it may have on religion and public order.
But Mr Mellon suggested it was quite the opposite, with little or no interest in the subject from within the corridors of power.
He said: "I highly doubt DoD or any other government agency is concealing UFO information."
Conspiracists believe that a flying saucer with aliens inside crashed at Roswell in new Mexico in 1947, and it was covered up as a 'weather balloon' before the remains of the craft and bodies were taken for experimentation at the top-secret USAF bas at Area 51.
But Mr Mellon poured cold water on these theories.
He said: "I spent over a decade conducting oversight of the national foreign intelligence programme, an almost totally separate world of secrets.
"During all those years I never detected the faintest hint of government interest or involvement in UFOs."

Schokkend nieuw bewijs kan ‘UFO-mysterie rond Brits Roswell voor eens en voor altijd oplossen’
Schokkend nieuw bewijs kan ‘UFO-mysterie rond Brits Roswell voor eens en voor altijd oplossen’
Hebben Britse legerbases in de jaren tachtig bezoek gehad van aliens? Twee oud-legertechnici beweren een UFO te hebben vastgelegd op de radar én te hebben gezien vanuit de radartoren op RAF Bentwaters en RAF Woodbridge. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
Ze doen deze bewering in een nieuwe documentaire waarin wordt gesteld dat UFO’s kerninstallaties nauwlettend in de gaten houden. Volgens de film zijn de bemanningen van de UFO’s zeer geïnteresseerd in de nucleaire installaties op onze planeet.
In de documentaire wordt geclaimd dat ten tijde van de waarnemingen kernwapens lagen opgeslagen op RAF Bentwaters. De legerbases werden indertijd geleased aan de Amerikaanse luchtmacht.
Hiërogliefachtige tekens
Op 26 december 1980 zagen drie Amerikaanse soldaten die gestationeerd waren op RAF Bentwaters een ‘driehoekig schip’ dat in Rendlesham Forest, een nabijgelegen bos, landde. Kolonel Charles Halt (76) was toen plaatsvervangend commandant van de basis. Hij zei dat de communicatiesystemen uitvielen toen de lichten verschenen.
De drie soldaten die de UFO als eerste zagen – John Burroughs, Bud Steffens en James Penniston – voelden naar eigen zeggen statische elektriciteit toen ze naar de knipperende lichten en de hiërogliefachtige tekens keken.
Halt stelde een team samen om onderzoek te verrichten en ontdekte gaten in de grond waar de UFO was geland, schade aan boomtoppen en hogere stralingswaarden in het landingsgebied. Van één van de gaten werd een gipsafdruk gemaakt, maar die verdween later op mysterieuze wijze.
‘Absoluut fenomenaal’
In de nieuwe documentaire wordt gesteld dat RAF Bentwaters indertijd het grootste Amerikaanse kernwapendepot in Europa was. Robert Hastings, de maker van de film, spoorde de technici op die ten tijde van het incident de radar bedienden.
De technici, Jim Carey en Ike Barker, onthullen dat er destijds een UFO is vastgelegd op radar en dat ze het object hebben gezien. Carey zag naar eigen zeggen een object op de radar toen Halt in het bos was.
“In het begin ging het om één stip, maar toen kwam er nog een stip, en nog één, tot ze plotseling verdwenen,” zei hij. “Opeens was de stip weer terug. Het object maakte een scherpe bocht naar rechts en kwam recht op de basis af. Ik zei dat dat niemand van ons kon zijn. Geen enkel vliegtuig kan met zo’n hoge snelheid zo’n scherpe bocht naar rechts maken. Absoluut fenomenaal.”
Sovjet-Unie
Barker maakte uit de radarbeelden op dat het object zich met extreem hoge snelheid voortbewoog. Het vloog over de radartoren en bleef vervolgens hangen. “Ik heb nog nooit een object zo zien manoeuvreren,” zei hij, toevoegende dat het een oranjekleurig object was.
“Rond het midden bevonden zich lichten, maar dat waren geen navigatielichten,” zei hij. “Het waren meer luiken, je zag het licht van binnen naar buiten komen. Ze knipperden niet.”
“Het bleef even hangen, keerde om en vloog met zeer hoge snelheid weer weg.”
De documentaire onthult dat er in de Sovjet-Unie soortgelijke incidenten met UFO’s zijn geweest in de buurt van nucleaire bases.
Government insider looks for UFOs, doesn’t find them at Area 51
Government insider looks for UFOs, doesn’t find them at Area 51
A man who spent 20 years working in national security for the federal government has recently joined a group of scientist searching for evidence of UFOs. In a recent interview, he says he has been interested in the topic since childhood, and in all his time in the government, he has found no evidence of a cover-up. That includes Area 51, which he has visited in an official capacity.

The government insider’s name is Chris Mellon. An interview with Mellon by author and journalist Leslie Kean was posted as a Huffington Post blog, earlier this week. According to the blog post, Mellon worked for the Department of Defense (DoD) and other intelligence organizations, where he received a number of awards, including the National Reconnaissance Office Gold Medal and the Defense Intelligence Agency Director’s Medal.
Mellon told Kean, he has also had a lifetime interest in UFOs. His curiosity began when he saw a convincing UFO film captured by a friend of his school’s principal.
“It showed a huge, golden disc-shaped object serenely moving through sunny, blue skies, passing through cumulous clouds in a manner that would be very hard to fake,” Mellon recalled. “I have no idea what became of the movie, but it filled me with wonder and awe.”

Mellon says that after seeing the movie, he began reading everything he could get his hands on about UFOs. He even did a research project on UFOs in college.
Throughout his professional career, Mellon says he kept his UFO interests to himself.
One topic Kean was interested in discussing with Mellon was the presidential election. In particular,Clinton’s comments regarding her willingness to look for UFO files if she becomes president. Mellon said he did not think Clinton would be given access to any classified programs involving UFOs, if they even exist.
“I recall instances when White House officials sought briefings on highly compartmented DoD programs and were flatly refused. Access to such programs is on a need to know basis,” explained Mellon. “In general, nobody outside DoD, including the Secretary of State, is deemed to have a need to know. Officials like John Podesta and Secretary Clinton can easily serve for years in senior positions and be avid consumers of classified intelligence analysis but never obtain access to DoD’s compartmented programs, which mostly relate to new weapons systems.”
Even if Clinton were able to gain access to information on classified programs, in all of his years working with secret programs, Mellon found nothing to convince him there is a hidden UFO project. Not even during his visits to Area 51.

“I highly doubt DoD or any other government agency is concealing UFO information,” Mellon told Kean. “I participated in a comprehensive review of DoD’s black programs and spent over a decade conducting oversight of the national foreign intelligence program, an almost totally separate world of secrets. I visited Area 51 and other military, intelligence and research facilities. During all those years, I never detected the faintest hint of government interest or involvement in UFOs.”
Although, Mellon was unaware of any official government UFO program, he says there are several credible incidents that, he believes, makes the UFO phenomenon worthy of scientific study. These include a UFO incident witnessed by police officers in 1989, and a wave of triangle-shaped UFOs seen over Belgium that was investigated by their military.
He also recalled an interesting UFO report he received during his career.
Mellon recounted, “Knowing of my interest in UFOs, a breathless naval aviator called me one day to report that he was present minutes earlier when a Navy jet landed after being circled by a UFO in broad daylight. The Navy did not pursue the issue as far as I could tell.”

The obvious question is, why would the Navy not pursue such a remarkable event?
“In my experience, on those rare occasions when UFO incidents involving the government occur, they are highly inconvenient, awkward and embarrassing for the afflicted government officials who want nothing more than to put the issue behind them as quickly as possible,” Mellon explained. “The military seems generally unwilling to investigate even when UFO reports come from our own military pilots or officials in high office such as Fife Symington, the former governor of Arizona. Senior officials are so fearful of being ridiculed that they conceal any expression of interest or curiosity.”
Mellon believes that in an environment where the military is not willing to touch the topic of UFOs, it is up to the public to find answers.
“In my view, calling for the end to an alleged government UFO cover-up is almost certainly a dead end, and does not help inspire anyone in government to become more open to the topic,” says Mellon.
Instead, Mellon has joined the board of a group calling itself UFODATA. They are a group of scientists and researchers who are planning to put together UFO listening posts that can be deployed across the planet. These stations will be able to collect telemetry on unidentified objects to help determine what they are.
According to Mellon, “UFODATA’s findings, one way or another, can help us to resolve this perennial mystery and perhaps even help us to better understand the universe and mankind’s place within it.”

British witness ties ghostly encounter to UFO sighting
British witness ties ghostly encounter to UFO sighting
A British witness at St. Just, Cornwall, recalled a UFO incident from 1993 that added to a larger puzzle suggesting a time portal opened up in the area, according to testimony in Case 75940 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness and her now-late husband had driven to their favorite spot on the cliffs at Botallack near St. Just at dinner time about 6:30 p.m. on October 23, 1993, when the first incident took place.
“We had bought fish and chips to eat in our old MG car out on the cliffs,” the witness stated. “It was a beautiful evening and we were the only people parked there. As we looked out at the view of the cliffs, old tin mines and the Atlantic Ocean crashing in, we suddenly noticed somebody walking up the cliff path.”
The two were confused as they looked at this person.
“Walking up the cliffs was an olden times smuggler from the 1700/1800’s period. The best way to describe this is if you Google ‘Poldark,’ that is the era. What we could see was a man, in a black Tri-Star hat, long black, old smuggler-type coat, a long wooden staff in his left hand and a small barrel/keg under his right arm. We both looked at each other and then back to him walking up the coast path.
The witness referenced Aidan Turner as Ross Poldark in the Masterpiece hit series, ‘Poldark.’
“Both confused at what we were looking at, I said to my husband, ‘Maybe there is a party somewhere?’ If you knew the location, you would know that was at the best a long shot.”
They continued to watch the person walk up the path.
“As he reached the adjoining path he was suddenly gone! Into thin air! We did not lose sight of him at any time. And then he was gone! All I can tell you is that what we saw was as solid, as solid as you and I, although neither of us remember seeing features on a face, or to be honest, even a face. We knew that what we had just seen was unexplainable and couldn’t get our minds around it. It wasn’t until we were driving home that I said, ‘Did we just see a ghost?’”
The two wondered about their encounter, and later questioned whether it was related to a second event at the same site.
“About a week later, there was a big storm blowing with really strong gale force ‘inland’ winds. The sea was crashing in and the wind was too strong to get out of the car as you couldn’t stand. We sat in our car when we noticed behind us a white ball, approximately 7 to 8 inches. You could see it was spinning furiously, but (the storm) was not causing it to move in the slightest.”
The witness described the object.
“It was approximately 15 feet away from us and six feet off of the ground. The strangest thing was, that the gale force inland wind was not making it move at all, yet we couldn’t even stand up in it! The ‘ball’ didn’t move for about two minutes, then it slowly moved directly upwards by about four feet, again it hovered on the spot for several minutes before moving directly down again by three or four feet where again it hovered for a time. It then rose into the air by approximately eight feet, again directly in a straight line and totally unaffected by the wind. It hovered for about three minutes before shooting inland at a 90-degree angle and out of sight.”

The two were shocked by what they had seen and sat silently in their car.
“I think after what had happened the previous week, we thought it must be ‘ghost’ connected? For years the memory of what happened has never left us and I can still see the events in detail. I’ve tried to look for answers, but can’t find any. I only realized recently that ‘the ball’ was an Unidentified Flying Object of some sort. So I have decided to record this with yourselves. The whole of Cornwall is built on granite and so is extremely quartz rich. I often questioned myself as to if there could have been some kind of portal open up? I hope that this piece of my jigsaw might fit somewhere in all the other events out there. Thank you.”

This video shows an object falling from the sky slowly and at an angle that fits that of a UFO or space junk falling more than that of a meteorite, but its explosion makes me think meteor. Are aliens trying to attack ISIS to protect the world or was this a meteor? Tell us your thoughts on this one in the comments bellow. www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: Intriguing security camera footage from Turkey shows a mysterious glowing object briefly descending through the air before seemingly exploding and lighting up the night sky. The event occurred in an area of the country that is near the Syrian border and very close to a region currently controlled by ISIS. Despite what appeared to be an enormous blast, local officials claim no debris was found in the area and suggested that it was a natural event.

Senator Barry Goldwater Admits There Is A UFO Cover-Up, Interview Video, UFO Sighting News.
Above shows Senator Barry Goldwater and President Nixon.
Date of interview: 1994 Location of interview: Larry King Show This video takes me way back. This interview was taken way back in 1994, so it goes to show you how long govt officials high up have known about UFOs and how much they detest keeping a secret that is equal to a crime against humanity. Sometimes we need a reminder in life. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Video states: Goldwater had a fascination for the UFO issue, and, throughout his life and career, made more than a few notable comments and observations on the subject. The bulk of them revolved around his attempts to determine the truth about longstanding rumors that something of a UFO nature (and something of deep significance, too) was secretly held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. The location of whatever this “something” may have been has variously been termed as “Hangar 18” and the “Blue Room.” On March 28, 1975, Goldwater wrote the following, highly thought-provoking, words to a UFO researcher named Shlomo Arnon: “The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some long time. About ten or twelve years ago I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base where the information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied this request. It is still classified above Top Secret.” On more than a few occasions, the subject of UFOs featured heavily on Larry King Live. On one occasion, specifically in 1994, the person that King had on his show to talk about UFOs was none other than Goldwater himself, who told King: “I think at Wright-Patterson, if you could get into certain places, you’d find out what the Air Force and the government does know about UFOs. Reportedly, a spaceship landed. It was all hushed up. I called Curtis LeMay and I said, ‘General, I know we have a room at Wright-Patterson where you put all this secret stuff. Could I go in there?’ I’ve never heard General LeMay get mad, but he got madder than hell at me, cussed me out, and said, ‘Don’t ever ask me that question again!’”
React: Investigating a Year of UFO Sightings Posted on Social Media
React: Investigating a Year of UFO Sightings Posted on Social Media
Do you believe in aliens?
You might not, but lots of people seem to think they’ve seen the evidence
We took a look at a year’s worth of UFO-related posts on social media and this is what we found.
Where are the aliens?
We broke down mentions by state to see which areas of the country were generating the most UFO conversation.
While California often gets the most mentions because of its large population, it’s not just down to that this time.
A huge chunk of Californian UFO sightings occurred on 7th November when a mysterious light was seen by hundreds of people. It was later confirmed as a Naval missile test but not everyone was convinced.

We found that the gender ratio of UFO-related posts was fairly evenly split.
While they registered just a few posts each, percentage-wise it was Delaware and Connecticut that had the most UFO mentions from males while Hawaii and South Carolina had the most from females.
Shrouded in secrecy
We found a surprisingly low number of mentions that included the term “Area 51”. Perhaps that’s something we should be concerned about.
Whatever you think of UFOs and aliens, tracking social data surrounding them is a good way to crowdsource personal experiences of eerie occurrences in real time.
This was recorded from my dash cam on May 7th 2016 about 3:00hrs. On I-5 around the 325 mile mark, heading south. I was traveling with three other trucks who also saw this craft. I first saw a light sweep the sky on the right side of this video frame. One swept across the sky and a second one occurred a few seconds later. After the second light the first thing I thought was someone was shinning deer. A couple more second passed and we saw bright white lights on what I thought was a plane moving from right to left out in the distance going across the highway. Maybe 2miles out in front of us, very low to the ground.
It crossed the interstate and climbed in attitude and started to circle heading east and than north, and than south returned to roughly the same place it crossed the interstate and crossed back going west, and than the object and lights disappeared. I kept watching out my passenger window to see if I could spot the lights, but I saw nothing. I turned back to watch the road ahead and talking on the CB with the other driver about the strange way that was flying.
There was something odd about the way it maneuvered. I notice lights reflecting in my passenger window and thought it was from the oncoming traffic, and I glanced over to see what it was and saw this craft coming straight at me. I thought it was going to crash into me at that point. It had three very bright white lights. Like large round spotlights across the font edge of the vehicle.
When I say edge thats all I could make out as it didn’t look to have body or height to it. As it approached It slowed and turned and banked almost in place at the same time, and came up over my truck. It made no sound, it had no wings, no marking lights, no fuselage, no tail, no Plane, no drone, no helicopter.
BEWIJS DAT MYSTERIEUS OBJECT OP BODEM OOSTZEE WEL DEGELIJK EEN UFO IS ( VIDEO )
BEWIJS DAT MYSTERIEUS OBJECT OP BODEM OOSTZEE WEL DEGELIJK EEN UFO IS ( VIDEO )
In januari 2012 maakten wij voor het eerste melding van een onbekend object dat door duikers op de bodem van de Oostzee was aangetroffen en wat enigszins leek op een neergestorte UFO.
Eindelijk komt er iets bovenwater wat je de “smoking gun” zou kunnen noemen waaruit blijkt dat het hier wel degelijk om een UFO gaat.
In de jaren na 2012 hebben we regelmatig de voortgang van het onderzoek gevolgd, zoals in een artikel uit 2013:
Wie nog eens de hele historie wil lezen over het mysterieuze object op de bodem van de Oostzee, raden wij aan om dit eerdere artikel te lezen. Op de volgende foto zie je hoe het eerste object er ongeveer uitziet. De grootte is vergelijkbaar met die van een Boeing 747.
In het artikel waarnaar hierboven wordt verwezen, is stap voor stap te volgen wat er in 2012 allemaal plaatsvond en hoe de autoriteiten dit object probeerden af te doen als een “natuurlijke formatie”.
Volgens een artikel op de website Live Science maakt een assistent professor van de universiteit van Stockholm, Volkert Brüchert, gehakt van alle Ufo theorieën over het onbekende object in de Oostzee. Deze man schijnt in een aantal Zweedse bladen te hebben verteld dat uit onderzoek van de monsters die hij van het Ocean X Team heeft ontvangen, zou blijken dat het hier om vulkanische rots zou gaan. En dat het object een volkomen natuurlijk verschijnsel is wat waarschijnlijk gedurende de ijstijd zou zijn gevormd.
Een “natuurlijk” object dat zorgt voor elektrische storingen wanneer men er in de buurt komt en dat een opmerkelijk element herbergt.
Wat eigenlijk iedereen is ontgaan in 2013 is een rapport waarbij een aantal monsters zijn genomen en vervolgens geanalyseerd.
Verbazingwekkend is dat één van die elementen die in een hoge concentratie voorkomt Titanium is. Zoals Scott Waring zegt, dit is waarschijnlijk “the smoking gun” die aangeeft dat we hier wel degelijk met een UFO te maken hebben.
Titanium is namelijk het perfecte materiaal om een UFO van te maken omdat het sterker is dan staal en lichter. Vandaag de dag wordt Titanium gebruikt in de ruimtevaartindustrie om ruimtevoertuigen, raketten en straalmotoren van te maken, mede omdat het een hoge weerstand heeft tegen hitte.
Titatium wordt in hogere concentraties aangetroffen op het object dan andere elementen in de omgeving, waardoor eigenlijk zeker is dat we hier met een UFO te maken hebben.
Comparing the two spectra basalt (K) and sediment (J) spectra indicates (Figure 10 ) no significant difference except for relative high concentration of Ti in the sediments compare with the basalt sample.
Ti staat voor Titanium.
Naast deze wetenschappelijke aanwijzingen zijn er ook altijd die van mensen. En die zien op regelmatige basis UFO’s verdwijnen in de Oostzee, waardoor je kunt aannemen dat er tot op de dag van vandaag zich ook daar buitenaardse basis onder water bevinden.
Navolgend enkele delen uit een eerder artikel waaruit de UFO-activiteit boven de Oostzee blijkt:
Nu zijn er wederom opnames gemaakt van enkele UFO’s boven de Oostzee die erg veel lijken op die van vorig jaar.
Ook hier lijkt meer dan duidelijk dat we hier te maken hebben met intelligent bestuurde objecten.
De opnames die hierna volgen, zijn gemaakt op 9 september 2014, ergens aan de Poolse Oostzeekust. De tijd is rond zes uur ’s avonds.
De opnames zijn echt en er zijn die avond meerdere getuigen op het strand.
In eerste instantie verschijnt er iets boven de zee dat lijkt op een grote bol zoals te zien op de volgende foto.
Korte tijd later lijkt deze bol als het ware uiteen te vallen in meerdere UFO’s.
Dan vervolgens maken zich een aantal UFO’s op een ordelijke manier los uit de groep en beginnen af te dalen en verdwijnen ogenschijnlijk in de zee.
Dat we hier te maken hebben met intelligent bestuurde objecten is duidelijk. Of ze buitenaards zijn, weten we niet.
UFO expert Jaime Maussan claims to have proof that UFOs are real
UFO expert Jaime Maussan claims to have proof that UFOs are real
The well-known journalist and TV personality Jaime Maussan claims to have provided evidence from tens of thousands of people from around the world on UFOs and extraterrestrial activity. In the video “VIDEO EVIDENCE THAT UFOs ARE REAL” on UFOTV, recorded during the MUFON Symposium in 2015, he presents recent developments in the field of ufology.
He shows video footage and pictures of invisible UFOs taken by infrared cameras, night vision, NASA space probes, satellites and aircraft cameras.
UFOs are captured by space probes of NASA in space, the sun, around comets, near volcanoes and often appear mysterious balls in the air.
Maussan also disclosed the ‘unseen alien images” of the world famous Roswell crash on a major conference on extraterrestrial life in Mexico City last year. The globally recognized UFO expert says the photos provide evidence that aliens exist.
Around the time of the UFO crash, there were no sketches or models of aliens, so the pictures can not be fake. Also fellow researcher Richard Dolan is sure the photos are authentic. The alien body is too detailed and precise to be made up.

Louisville, Kentucky: UFO making an incredible sound
Witness report:Awesome UFO Sighting making an Incredible Sound, WOW! I was watching the nigh sky with a night vision device when i managed to capture a bright object/ ufo, and when the ufo got close to me it started to make a sound and it quits making the sound as soon as it got behind the tree line, i don’t think it was a computer problem or anything like that because you can still hear the background noise when ufo is making the sound. The most intriguing of this event is that i never heard that noise while i was recording the ufo, i just noticed the sound when i was taking a look at the videos i recorded that night, i was going to delete it because it didn’t seem interesting but that sound is just awesome.I have had incredible ufo sightings but this is the first one with sound. I still can’t believe it.
Amazing triangle-shaped UFO over Huron, California 7-May-2016
Amazing triangle-shaped UFO over Huron, California 7-May-2016
Here’s one really interesting footage of a possible TR-3B craft flying over the highway in Huron, California. This happened on Saturday, 7th May 2016.
What do you think about this footage? Please leave a comment below!
Witness report:This was recorded from my dash cam on May 7th 2016 about 3:00hrs. On I-5 around the 325 mile mark, heading south. I was traveling with three other trucks who also saw this craft. I first saw a light sweep the sky on the right side of this video frame. One swept across the sky and a second one occurred a few seconds later. After the second light the first thing I thought was someone was shinning deer. A couple more second passed and we saw bright white lights on what I thought was a plane moving from right to left out in the distance going across the highway. Maybe 2miles out in front of us, very low to the ground. It crossed the interstate and climbed in attitude and started to circle heading east and than north, and than south returned to roughly the same place it crossed the interstate and crossed back going west, and than the object and lights disappeared. I kept watching out my passenger window to see if I could spot the lights, but I saw nothing. I turned back to watch the road ahead and talking on the CB with the other driver about the strange way that was flying. There was something odd about the way it maneuvered. I notice lights reflecting in my passenger window and thought it was from the oncoming traffic, and I glanced over to see what it was and saw this craft coming straight at me. I thought it was going to crash into me at that point. It had three very bright white lights. Like large round spotlights across the font edge of the vehicle. When I say edge thats all I could make out as it didn’t look to have body or hight to it. As it approached It slowed and turned and banked almost in place at the same time, and came up over my truck. It made no sound, it had no wings, no marking lights, no fuselage, no tail, no Plane, no drone, no helicopter. We were traveling about 60 to 63 mph and as you see it was moving just a bit faster than we were going. It may have bee about 50 ft. above us.
Is er sprake van een cover-up rond UFO’s? Amerikaanse overheidsfunctionaris doet boekje open
Is er sprake van een cover-up rond UFO’s? Amerikaanse overheidsfunctionaris doet boekje open
De Amerikaanse investeerder Christopher Mellon werkte 20 jaar voor de federale overheid. Hij heeft zich nu voor het eerst openlijk uitgesproken over de informatie die de overheid heeft over UFO’s.
Mellon was onder meer werkzaam voor het ministerie van Defensie en binnen de inlichtingengemeenschap. Voor zijn werkzaamheden heeft hij verschillende onderscheidingen gekregen. Hij bezocht onder meer Area 51 en diverse andere bases.
Hij raakte geïnteresseerd in UFO’s toen een vriend hem als kind een filmpje van een enorm schijfvormig, goudkleurig object liet zien. Hij begon boeken te lezen over UFO’s en deed er op de universiteit een onderzoeksproject over voor zijn professor natuurkunde.
Hoogst frustrerend
Mellon denkt niet dat Hillary Clinton, als ze president wordt, toegang zal krijgen tot geheime overheidsprogramma’s over UFO’s. “Ik herinner me gevallen waarbij medewerkers van het Witte Huis geen toegang konden krijgen tot geheime programma’s van het ministerie van Defensie. Mensen als Clinton kunnen jarenlang hoge posities bekleden zonder ooit toegang te krijgen tot geheime programma’s van het ministerie, die veelal gaan over nieuwe wapensystemen.”
Er waren enkele incidenten met betrekking tot UFO’s toen Mellon voor de overheid werkte. Een marinepiloot belde hem op een dag op om te zeggen dat een UFO rond een gevechtsvliegtuig cirkelde. De marine deed er voor zover hij wist verder geen onderzoek naar.
Daarnaast werden op de radar vier of vijf heldere UFO’s vastgelegd aan de avondhemel. Iedereen stond voor een raadsel, aldus Mellon. Geen enkele overheidsmedewerker toonde ook maar enige interesse, zelfs niet nadat de beelden tijdens het tv-programma Nightline waren getoond. “Ik vond het totale gebrek aan wetenschappelijke nieuwsgierigheid vanwege politieke correctheid hoogst frustrerend,” zei hij.
Geen eenduidige verklaring
Christopher Mellon
Als Clinton het UFO-onderwerp tot op de bodem wil uitzoeken, kan ze volgens Mellon het beste de NORAD, een militaire organisatie die waakt over het luchtruim van de VS, onderzoek laten verrichten.
Volgens hem zijn er genoeg goed gedocumenteerde UFO-waarnemingen om een wetenschappelijk onderzoek in te stellen. Er zijn genoeg gegevens, meldingen door geloofwaardige getuigen, video’s gemaakt door getrainde militairen en politieagenten en radarbeelden, aldus Mellon.
Hij was vooral onder de indruk van de UFO-waarneming in november 1989 in België, toen 13 politieagenten en honderden andere getuigen twee driehoekige vaartuigen zagen boven het land. De Belgische luchtmacht stelde een onderzoek in, werkte samen met een groep wetenschappers en raadpleegde de VS en NAVO-landen, maar kon geen eenduidige verklaring geven.
UFO-mysterie oplossen
Op 30 maart 1993 zagen meer dan 100 getuigen, waaronder politieagenten en militairen, een driehoekig vaartuig boven Engeland. Het object was in staat om vanuit stilstand weg te schieten. Het Britse ministerie van Defensie concludeerde dat ‘een ongeïdentificeerd object (of objecten), waarvan de herkomst niet bekend was, boven Groot-Brittannië opereerde’.
Mellon benadrukt dat deze objecten geen eigendom waren van het Amerikaanse ministerie van Defensie. Hij voegt toe dat het Amerikaanse leger nieuwe vaartuigen niet test boven dichtbevolkte gebieden.
Hij merkt op dat het leger over het algemeen niet bereid is om onderzoek te doen naar UFO-meldingen, zelfs als ze afkomstig zijn van legerpiloten of hoge functionarissen, zoals oud-gouverneur van Arizona Fyfe Symington.
Mellon heeft gedurende zijn carrière geen gecrashte schotels of buitgemaakte technologie van aliens gezien, maar wil er wel alles aan doen om het UFO-mysterie op te lossen. Samen met een groep wetenschappers en ingenieurs bouwt hij een groot netwerk van meetstations die gegevens gaan verzamelen in gebieden waar veel UFO’s worden waargenomen. Vervolgens kan de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap die gegevens gaan analyseren.
An Ohio witness east of Westerville reported a close encounter with a triangle UFO after getting a psychic impression to go outside, according to testimony in Case 76141 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The incident occurred at 10:05 p.m., on September 14, 2015, and was reported to MUFON on May 1, 2016.

“I observed the same bright light approaching from the north that I had seen just a few nights prior and I had no camera with me,” the witness stated.“The craft entered my frame of vision from the west skimming the tree tops, turned 90 degrees on a dime, and the craft was moving directly at me.”
The witness described the craft’s lighting.
“The navigational lights were that of a jet, but the headlight was 10 times brighter than a typical jet headlight. I had just taken my camera in from my night of sky gazing, took the dog out, took her back in, and started to lock up the door for the night when I got a ‘psychic’ message to return outside and to stand by a particular tree, which I did. Very strange.”
But the idea to go outside to this particular location quickly paid off.
“Sure as the devil, that’s when I spotted the craft approaching from the west and just north of me. I backed away from the tree and boldly stood as the craft centered directly between my eyes and came overhead at an estimated 15 – 20 mph. or less.”

The craft was also very well lit.
“It presented what appeared to be a full display of lights, including a ring of brilliant, red, individual lights, dead center in the belly of the craft. It was lit like ‘Times Square’ and utterly silent. Another triangle, but this time, just over my head. This time, left light red and right, green; different from prior, higher slightly, higher altitude sightings of two triangles together, with red and white lights only, from days earlier. The head-beam was brighter than the moon and cast for a couple miles forward, at least, and came over at an estimated 100 feet – 125 feet at best. It was very low and slow.”
The object was also moving very slow.
“I know I said 15 – 20 mph., but in reality it may have been moving at 5 mph. for all I know. I was hypnotized by the green light and a feeling of peace and love that came over me. Again, very strange.”
The witness was amazed at the sighting.
“Whoever or whatever they are, allowed me to see the entire craft. I was in absolute awe. And Iwasn’t the least bit frightened. I know the light mesmerized me as I stood smiling at the craft approaching me. If it were any lower, I could have hit it with a rock. As it passed overhead, I was dead center with the brilliant, red belly lights. If they wanted to abduct me, they could have. As it was about to exit our property, the only sound it made was a low crackling sound. The back edge was trimmed with yellow-orange oblong ports. I got a great look at the craft, but missed a sensational photo op. This struck me as a total anti-gravity craft, as the giant equilateral triangle barely moved through the air, with no wind or air disturbance being generated whatsoever.”

An Indonesian witness at North Jakarta reported watching and videotaping a metallic object under 500 meters with an apparent diameter of 5 meters, according to testimony in Case 68460 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside in a basketball field with his wife and son at 5:42 p.m. on July 17, 2015, when the incident occurred.
“First noticed the object when pointing out the hunting bats and swallows to my son,” the witness stated.“It was on my south and moving towards the northwest direction. First impression of the object was that it was somewhat spherical and moving at a constant speed and constant altitude. Altitude was from the best of my judgement around the 300-500 meters high, and moving slowly and constantly throughout the event at about 50 meters per minute.”

The witness described the object.
“As it drew nearer to my location, the shape looked more like a slightly vertically squashed sphere, akin to a red blood cell. It had a metallic sheen because it clearly reflected the orange glow of the setting sun. Upon longer inspection, the shape seemed to be constantly, slightly distorting and bobbling because the reflected sunlight was not consistent, although the object largely held its original shape.”
The witness tried to guess the object’s size.
“Judging from the distance and altitude, my best guess is the object is at least 5 meters in diameter. After about a minute after noticing the object, I used my iPhone 5S to video the object as best as I could, although limited phone memory cut short the duration of the video. After I finished recording, the object started to slowly make a very wide arc to the left, without changing speed or altitude, and changed direction southwesterly, which means moving away from my location.”

The witness attempted to follow the object on foot.
“I then started to walk/jog and chased the object for about 1-2 minutes over 150 meters, then ceased because I didn’t want to leave my wife and son behind in the basketball field. The object then slowly moved away and disappeared over the treeline after a couple more minutes.”
The witness thought that the object was unusual.
“What drew me to the object in the first place was that I never saw anything like it before. During the sighting and afterwards, considering the things I saw, my impression largely is that the object is probably man-made, maybe a stray weather balloon that drifted with the wind. The few things bugging me is the shape of the object, which is like a red blood cell, the definite metallic sheen of the surface, and the changing of the direction of the object, albeit slowly. Video is also not very supportive because of the maximum zoom, large distance to the object and me constantly moving around. Would really like to have somebody from MUFON to contact via phone or email to exchange ideas on this.”

Cheryl Lee Vanagelis for MUFON International closed this case as an Unknown.
“In the video you can see at normal speed a flash which is an orb on the left-hand side moving to the right and touching the triangle morphed, and then releases itself and moves at lightspeed to the left and disappearing,” Vanagelis wrote in her report.“In slow motion the flash and orb do not appear. You’ll need to adjust brightness and gamma. I see a ‘cloudwalker’ morphing into a small boomerang shape for a milli-second, and then morph back into a ‘cloudwalker shape,’ before it stretches and flies off fast. I can also see atmospheric activity surrounding it. Unfortunately, the video is not able to snapshot and increase size without pixilation of the picture. Based on my studies on these types of UFOs, it is a good capture of a ‘cloudwalker’ possibly energizing or feeding off the dimensional cloaking layer.”
Is There a UFO Cover-up? A Government Insider Speaks Out
Is There a UFO Cover-up? A Government Insider Speaks Out
Leslie Kean, Author, New York Times bestseller, ‘UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record’
About six months ago, our board at UFODATA was privileged to welcomeChristopher Mellon as the newest member of our team. Chris spent nearly 20 years in the federal government serving in various national security positions. For the first time, he has agreed to speak publicly about his experiences within government as they relate to UFOs.

It is unusual for a man of Chris’s stature to speak openly about UFOs, which gives his statements great weight. His positions during the Clinton and Bush administrations involved high clearances; in fact, there are few people who have enjoyed such deep and wide-ranging access to compartmented programs in both the Defense Department (DoD) and the intelligence community. Chris is the recipient of numerous awards, including the National Reconnaissance Office Gold Medal and the Defense Intelligence Agency Director’s Medal.
At DoD, Chris served on a small committee that provided oversight of all DoD special access programs, in order to eliminate potential waste and duplication. The oversight included visits to Area 51 and other sensitive facilities. He also spent over a decade on the Senate Intelligence Committee, involved in oversight of NRO, CIA, NSA and other intelligence organizations. He became the first Congressional official to review all of the NSA’s compartmented programs.
I wanted to know what Chris had to say about Hillary Clinton’s implications that the government may be withholding classified UFO documents. Backed by John Podesta, chairman of her campaign, Clinton has been speaking about the need to “get to the bottom of the UFO mystery.” Her comments are unprecedented within a presidential campaign.
Here is my recent conversation with Chris Mellon, mainly conducted via email, edited only for clarity.
Q: When did you first become interested in UFOs?
A: I was about seven years old when I saw an old-fashioned amateur movie taken by a friend of our school principal. It showed a huge, golden disc-shaped object serenely moving through sunny, blue skies, passing through cumulous clouds in a manner that would be very hard to fake. I have no idea what became of the movie, but it filled me with wonder and awe. I read everything I could get my hands on afterwards and eventually did a research project on UFOs in college for a physics professor. I remain deeply intrigued.
Q: Did your colleagues in government know you were interested in UFOs? Were you afraid of being ridiculed?
A: It was something I didn’t reveal to colleagues unless I got to know them well and we became personal friends. Even then of course I wasn’t a nut about it and I certainly was not obsessed; it was simply a subject of great curiosity. It did not come up often. I was focused like a laser on my duties 99.9 percent of the time.
Q: Hillary Clinton has been asked about UFOs during her campaign. As the former Secretary of State, would she be likely to know if there were any classified government programs involving UFOs?
A: No, I don’t think so. I recall instances when White House officials sought briefings on highly compartmented DoD programs and were flatly refused. Access to such programs is on a need to know basis. In general, nobody outside DoD, including the Secretary of State, is deemed to have a need to know. Officials like John Podesta and Secretary Clinton can easily serve for years in senior positions and be avid consumers of classified intelligence analysis but never obtain access to DoD’s compartmented programs, which mostly relate to new weapons systems. Information about such programs rarely leaks because it doesn’t circulate, unlike the constant stream of leaked information regarding classified intelligence activities.

Q: Do you think that if Clinton is elected we can expect to learn new information about UFOs?
A: I highly doubt DoD or any other government agency is concealing UFO information. I participated in a comprehensive review of DoD’s black programs and spent over a decade conducting oversight of the national foreign intelligence program, an almost totally separate world of secrets. I visited Area 51 and other military, intelligence and research facilities. During all those years, I never detected the faintest hint of government interest or involvement in UFOs.
Q: Clinton and John Podesta have been focusing on the need for de-classifying government documents. What do you think about that?
A: While a few new, previously overlooked documents might turn up (the bureaucracy is never perfect), I do not believe they would resolve the UFO issue or provide significant new insights. I can think of one lengthy UFO report that is classified only due to concerns over sources and methods. In fact, it identified a convincing conventional explanation for the pilot sightings in this particular case. There are lots of classified documents related to activities at Area 51, where high security is needed. But this is all legitimate stuff the American people would support. They have nothing to do with UFOs, to the best of my knowledge.
Q: Do you recall any incidents involving UFOs while you were in government?
A: Yes, there were a handful of incidents. Knowing of my interest in UFOs, a breathless naval aviator called me one day to report that he was present minutes earlier when a Navy jet landed after being circled by a UFO in broad daylight. The Navy did not pursue the issue as far as I could tell. I also recall the Maui Optical Tracking Facility, which tracks satellites, recording a flight of four or five fiery UFOs traversing the night sky. Nobody knew what to make of it. But no government official expressed the slightest interest even after the tape was featured on ABC’s Nightline. I found the utter lack of scientific curiosity due to political correctness highly frustrating.
Q: How do you think the press and public will react if Clinton is elected, makes the inquiries she promised, but comes up empty-handed?
A: I think the conspiracy theorists will be angry and unconvinced, while the general public may conclude UFOs are not a worthwhile topic. If Clinton really wants to get to the bottom of the UFO issue, I think she should officially task NORAD with collection and analysis responsibility. Simultaneously, she should assign the Office of Science and Technology Policy the job of reviewing available evidence, coordinating with other countries and providing scientific assessments and recommendations.
Q: The taboo against taking UFOs seriously is a huge problem. How can we get more government officials to change this ingrained attitude?
A: I think we have to ask ourselves a key question, and then bring it forward. “Are there UFO cases that are sufficiently well-documented to warrant a scientific investigation of the phenomenon?” In my view, the answer is yes.
The patterns in the data are too strong; the reports from credible witnesses separated widely by time and place too similar; the evidence from videos and trained military and law enforcement observers too extensive; and the independent radar data in select cases correlates too highly with visual observations to safely ignore. Finally, when someone you trust and respect, like a naval aviator, looks you in the eye and tells you he saw something truly extraordinary at close range, it’s hard not to take his testimony seriously. It is arrogant, unreasonable and unwise to dismiss such reports. We should simply and impartially follow the trail wherever it leads.
Q: Which credible UFO incidents have you found particularly impressive and convincing?
A: A few stand out in my mind. In November 1989, 13 police officers and hundreds of other witnesses saw two silent triangular craft gliding over Belgium. This was the beginning of a wave of sightings there lasting well over a year. Ground and air radar data were acquired as well. The Belgian Air Force investigated the events in cooperation with a team of scientists and consulted with the U.S. and NATO countries, but could not find a conventional explanation.

On the night of March 30, 1993, over a hundred witnesses in England, including police officers and military personnel, saw a triangular-shaped craft able to rapidly accelerate in seconds from a hovering position. The British Ministry of Defensestated that “none of the usual explanations put forward to explain UFO sightings seem applicable” and concluded that the evidence showed that “an unidentified object (or objects) of unknown origin was operating over the UK.”
Similarly, multiple police officers in Southern Illinois saw an object in January 2000 that looked and behaved very similarly to the Belgian and British UFOs. In fact, the Illinois police officers’ drawings of the craft are uncannily similar to the depictions of triangular craft produced by Belgian law enforcement officers a decade earlier, as well as many others since.
A Belgian Air Force weather forecaster drew his sighting in 1990
In 2006, pilots and airport personnel witnessed a disc-shaped object hovering overO’Hare airport for over five minutes, yet no government investigation was undertaken.
And, while most sightings have conventional explanations, I think it is stunning how many reports come in regularly to groups like MUFON, with impressive detail, including photos or videos. I often hear from skeptics, “If UFOs are out there how come nobody ever gets a video with all the smartphones around?” That is ignorant, it happens all the time!
Q: Some people believe the more recent sightings in cases such as those you mentioned may simply be US government tests of experimental aircraft. Is that possible?
A: I can understand why this may seem the most plausible explanation. But I can assure you, those objects did not belong to US Department of Defense. Just before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I was contacted by the DoD Office of Congressional Affairs. They were in a tizzy because Robert Byrd, the powerful Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, was challenging them over reports appearing in magazines such as Aviation Week and Space Technology describing an alleged super-secret US aircraft program dubbed “Aurora.”
Senator Byrd would use his budget power to punish the department severely if we lied to him or withheld information. We pursued all possible options, double-checking with the appropriate officials while reminding them of the imperative of providing an accurate response. We quickly confirmed what we already knew - that while there are always things on the drawing board, there was nothing remotely resembling such aircraft being operated by the department. We had nothing with the capacity to hover and then silently accelerate at massive speeds.
Also, it is totally uncharacteristic of the US military to conduct experimental tests of new vehicles over populated areas where security would be compromised and innocent civilians placed in harms way. That’s completely contrary to military DNA. Alien visitation is actually easier to believe than that level of stupidity being exhibited by the brilliant people developing new aircraft technologies for DoD.
Q: Are you certain there is no government cover-up?
A: It’s impossible to prove the negative, so all I can say is that I never saw any evidence of official interest in UFOs. I’d love to believe we have a crashed saucer somewhere, but I’ve never seen anything remotely supportive of such incredible claims. In my experience, on those rare occasions when UFO incidents involving the government occur, they are highly inconvenient, awkward and embarrassing for the afflicted government officials who want nothing more than to put the issue behind them as quickly as possible! The military seems generally unwilling to investigate even when UFO reports come from our own military pilots or officials in high office such as Fife Symington, the former governor of Arizona. Senior officials are so fearful of being ridiculed that they conceal any expression of interest or curiosity.
Q: Some inside sources have proposed that retrieved hardware from a UFO may exist within a private aerospace company which has become independent from the DoD. In this way, it would be exempt from government oversight and known only to a few people. Do you think this is possible?
A: I find it hard to imagine something as explosive as recovered alien technology remaining under wraps for decades. So while I have no reason to believe there is any recovered alien technology, I will say this: If it were me, and I were trying to bury it deep, I’d take it outside government oversight entirely and place it in a compartment as a new entity within an existing defense company and manage it as what we call an “IRAD” or “Independent Research and Development Activity.”
Q: So where does this all leave us, and what is to be done?
A: In my view, calling for the end to an alleged government UFO cover-up is almost certainly a dead end, and does not help inspire anyone in government to become more open to the topic. The UFO mystery is a scientific problem. A true scientist seeks and follows the data no matter how politically incorrect the facts may be. The greatest scientific breakthroughs occur when we verify information that challenges conventional wisdom. That’s why I joined the board of UFODATA.
Q: I’m so glad you did. What kinds of new data are you hoping we will collect?
A: Our team of scientists and engineers are designing and will build a large network of automated surveillance stations with sophisticated sensors to capture a wide range of data. The stations will house cameras to record both an image and spectra, a magnetometer, instrumentation to detect radiation, a gravimeter, and more. They will be mobile so that we can readily deploy them to areas that become hotspots of UFO activity. We can then make the data available to the scientific community for analysis.
Q: Do you think UFOs could be visitors from civilizations elsewhere?
A: I’m certainly intrigued by the possibility. But I don’t think we will find out without a deeper scientific inquiry. I would like to invite the public to participate and support this lean but potentially groundbreaking effort, staffed by volunteers. UFODATA’s findings, one way or another, can help us to resolve this perennial mystery and perhaps even help us to better understand the universe and mankind’s place within it.

Newly discovered exoplanets may be best hope yet for finding alien life
Scientists have discovered three new planets that may be the most likely location for alien life yet discovered. The newfound planets circle a star just 40 light-years away from Earth. The findings were presented Monday in a new study in the journal Nature Geoscience The three worlds all circle the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 , and all are just about the size of Earth. It’s even possible that the planets could be orbiting in the “habitable zone” of the host star — orbits that would allow liquid water to be sustained on the planet's surface. These worlds, however, are no Earth twins, according to the study. They are the first planets found in orbit around an ultracool dwarf star, a type of long-lived stellar object far cooler and dimmer than the sun. SEE ALSO: A planet may be forming in the habitable zone of an alien sun In fact, if you were to stand on the surface of TRAPPIST-1d, which is considered the most potentially habitable of the three planets, you would probably see a huge, red star in the sky. According to astronomer Michaël Gillon, a researcher at the University of Liege in Beligum and co-author of the new study, you would be able to look directly at the star without sunglasses. “You can see, close to the star, the two other planets. They are big enough for you to see some detail of their surface or of their atmosphere. Now let's look where you stand,” Gillon told Mashable via email. “The landscape is reddish, as the star does not emit bluer light. You are on a ground made of rocks, or of ice. Or you are on a huge reddish ocean. Maybe there [are] big volcanoes in eruption in the background," he said.
"Maybe there is some creature coming closer and closer to you. We can't say. Not yet.” Earth-sized exoplanets The question of alien life notwithstanding, Gillon and his colleagues do know a few important things about the new exoplanets. For one thing, it's clear that the three planets orbit quite close to their star. Two make a full circuit of their star once every 1.5 days and 2.4 days, respectively, while the orbit of the third planet isn’t well defined yet. Although it sounds like the planets would fry by being located so close to the star, they’re actually pretty comfortable. TRAPPIST-1 side-by-side with the sun. Image: ESO Because the star is so dim, its habitable nearer to it than it is for brighter stars, such as the sun. “On the outer planet, the temperature should be somewhere between 200 Kelvin [minus-100 degrees Fahrenheit] and 300 Kelvin [80 degrees Fahrenheit]," Gillon said. "Pretty cold, or perfect for a barbecue. On the two inner planets, the dayside is hot, above 350 Kelvin [170 degrees Fahrenheit]." “But a part of the night side could be close to 300 Kelvin, fine for spending some holidays there.” Allowing alien civilizations to grow Stars like TRAPPIST-1 can be very long-lived. Unlike more massive stars, ultracool dwarf stars are able to remain in a stable state for billions upon billions of years without running out of fuel to burn. That long-lived system could be just what life needs to thrive. The stability of this star is important, since civilizations of intelligent life likely take a long time to grow up. Artist’s impression of a view from close to one of the three planets orbiting an ultracool dwarf star. Image: ESO/M. Kornmesser "They could potentially be very nice places to be for a civilization for a long time," NASA's Steve Howell, project scientist for the K2 mission, an exoplanet hunting telescope, told Mashable in an interview. Howell was not involved in the new study. "You would get civilizations that could last for a long time, or evolution of life could take a long, long time but it would have all that time before the star does something crazy," Howell said.
Ultracool dwarfs aren’t perfect, however. These types of stars can shoot off extreme flares that send radiation off into their systems, possibly impacting planets the way the most severe solar storms do when they slam into Earth’s magnetic field. Hunting for life One day, maybe in the not too distant future, scientists might actually be able to say whether there are creatures likely to be living on those worlds. Scientists have found multiple exoplanets that could potentially be habitable, but these three worlds around TRAPPIST-1 are particularly tantalizing because of their proximity to Earth. An imagined view of the three planets orbiting an ultracool dwarf star. Image: ESO/M. Kornmesser/N. Risinger (s “But, unlike all previously found Earth-like exoplanets, e.g. Kepler-186f, these new planets are well-suited for detailed study, so we will be able to learn a lot about them in the near-future,” Gillon said. And researchers are already expecting plenty of follow-up observations. "At 40 light-years away, my guess is that this particular planet system will now be the most studied planet system until the next cool one comes along," Howell said. Howell expects that the Hubble Space Telescope will take a look at the three newfound planets, and the K2 mission — which is responsible for finding multiple exoplanets itself — will be able to take a look at the planetary system within the next year as part of an observing campaign. The Hubble should even be able to tell if there’s a significant amount of water in the atmospheres of the planets. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), expected to launch in 2018, will also have the ability to check out the TRAPPIST-1 system in great detail. “With JWST, we will really probe the atmosphere in detail,” Gillon said. “The study of these fascinating planets is just beginning!

Miami (AFP) - NASA announced Tuesday the discovery of 1,284 new planets outside our solar system, more than doubling the number of exoplanets found with the Kepler space telescope.
"This gives us hope that somewhere out there, around a star much like ours, we can eventually discover another Earth," said Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA headquarters in Washington.
The unmanned Kepler space observatory, which launched in 2009, has been scanning 150,000 stars for signs of orbiting bodies, particularly those that might be able to support life.
It works by observing a dimming in the light of a star, known as a transit, each time an orbiting planet passes in front of it.
"Of the nearly 5,000 total planet candidates found to date, more than 3,200 now have been verified, and 2,325 of these were discovered by Kepler," NASA said in a statement.
Of the new trove of 1,284, nearly 550 could be rocky planets like Earth, based on their size, the US space agency said.
"Nine of these orbit in their sun's habitable zone, which is the distance from a star where orbiting planets can have surface temperatures that allow liquid water to pool."
- 'Goldilocks' zone -
The addition of these nine means that 21 exoplanets now are known to be circling their stars in the so-called "habitable zone," and may harbor life.
However, Kepler is a "statistical mission," NASA scientists said, and is not designed to probe further into the environmental conditions of planets that exist in the so-called "Goldilocks zone" of their stars -- neither too hot nor too cold to sustain life.
That means even the most advanced space telescopes now being built, including the James Webb Space Telescope, may not be able to shed much more light on the nature of life -- if it exists -- on another of these distant exoplanets.
"If you ask yourself the question, where is the nearest potentially habitable planet likely to be, you find that it is going to be within about 11 light-years," said Natalie Batalha, Kepler mission scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center.
Although she described that distance as "astronomically speaking... very close," one light-year equals about six trillion miles (9.5 trillion kilometers), and no spacecraft or technology exists to travel that far.
However, Kepler has already opened up a great deal about the galaxy that surrounds us.
"Before the Kepler space telescope launched, we did not know whether exoplanets were rare or common in the galaxy. Thanks to Kepler and the research community, we now know there could be more planets than stars," said Paul Hertz, astrophysics division director at NASA headquarters.
"This knowledge informs the future missions that are needed to take us ever closer to finding out whether we are alone in the universe."
The latest trove of planets was confirmed by a new statistical method, instead of the time-consuming, one-by-one process previously used.
This statistical analysis method can be applied to many planet candidates simultaneously, according to Timothy Morton, associate research scholar at Princeton University and lead author of a paper describing the findings in The Astrophysical Journal.
- Emergency event -
Kepler survived an emergency last month, when some kind of "transient event... triggered a barrage of false alarms that eventually overwhelmed the system," NASA said.
The space telescope suffered another crisis in 2013, related to a problem with the reaction wheels that typically keep the spacecraft steady.
NASA saved it back then, and set the spacecraft on a new mission called K2, to study supernovas, star clusters and far-off galaxies.
The latest failure, which NASA described as leaving the spacecraft in a "fuel-intensive coma," was discovered on April 8.
Engineers on Earth were able to rescue Kepler and restored its ability to collect data on April 22.
NASA Finds 1,284 Alien Planets, Biggest Haul Yet, with Kepler Space Telescope
NASA Finds 1,284 Alien Planets, Biggest Haul Yet, with Kepler Space Telescope

The number of known alien planets has just gone up by more than 60 percent.
NASA's Kepler space telescope has discovered 1,284 new exoplanets, including nine rocky worlds that might be capable of supporting life as we know it, astronomers announced today (May 10). This is by far the largest haul of alien planets ever unveiled at one time.
"We now know that exoplanets are common, most stars in our galaxy have planetary systems and a reasonable fraction of stars in our galaxy have potentially habitable planets," Paul Hertz, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., said during a news conference today. "Knowing this the first step toward addressing the question, 'Are we alone in the universe?'"
Indeed, data gathered by Kepler and other instruments suggest that about 25 percent of all the "normal" (main-sequence) stars in the Milky Way harbor roughly Earth-size planets in their habitable zones, that just-right range of distances at which liquid water can exist on a world's surface.
There are at least 70 billion main-sequence stars in the galaxy, said Kepler mission scientist Natalie Batalha, of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
"You can see, doing the math, that you're talking about tens of billions of potentially habitable, Earth-sized planets out there in the galaxy," Batalha said during today's new conference.

The $600 million Kepler mission launched in March 2009, tasked with determining how common Earth-like planets are throughout the Milky Way. The observatory finds alien worlds by noticing the tiny brightness dips caused when the planets cross the face of, or transit, their host stars from Kepler's perspective.
Kepler conducted its original planet hunt until May 2013, when the second of the telescope's four orientation-maintaining reaction wheels failed, robbing the observatory of the precise pointing ability needed to spot transiting planets. During this prime mission, Kepler found more than 4,000 planet "candidates" that needed to be confirmed by follow-up work.
Previously, astronomers had usually attempted to validate Kepler finds by observing the candidates using ground-based instruments. But the team behind today's announcement took a statistical approach, devising a confirmation method based on probability. [Gallery: A World of Kepler Planets]
This technique relies on computer simulations to determine how likely it is that a particular brightness dip was caused by a bona fide planet, as opposed to an "imposter" such as a star or brown dwarf. (A brown dwarf is a "failed star," too big to be a planet but too small to undergo nuclear fusion reactions in its interior.)
Any candidate with more than a 99 percent chance of being a real exoplanet was deemed to be validated, researchers said.
The team, led by Tim Morton of Princeton University in New Jersey, applied this statistical method to every one of the candidates spotted during Kepler's original mission. The researchers confirmed 984 previously vetted planets and identified 1,284 new worlds. An additional 1,327 are likely to be planets, whereas 707 are probably imposters, team members said.
About 550 of the newly validated 1,284 are small enough that they could be rocky, scientists said. And nine of those small planets might be able to support life, bringing the total number of confirmed habitable-zone Kepler planets to 21. (An additional 15 or so possibly rocky, habitable-zone Kepler worlds still await confirmation, Batalha said.)

Understanding exoplanets
While the sheer number of exoplanets found by Kepler is impressive, mission team members are more interested in understanding the broad outlines of the alien-planet population, Batalha said.
And the Kepler data are allowing scientists to take a good big-picture look at the galaxy's planetary systems. For example, the telescope's observations have revealed many "super-Earths" and "mini-Neptunes" — planets larger than Earth but considerably smaller than the gas giants found in the outer solar system.
"I think one of the biggest things that Kepler has shown us is that there are lots of these planets that have no analog in our solar system," Morton said.
Furthermore, the 1,284 newfound worlds further support what previous Kepler discoveries had revealed: that small, rocky worlds such as Earth are the most common type of planet in the Milky Way, Morton added.
Alien Planet Quiz: Are You an Exoplanet Expert?
Astronomers have confirmed more than 800 planets beyond our own solar system, and the discoveries keep rolling in. How much do you know about these exotic worlds?
Kepler's original planet hunt may have ended in May 2013, but the observatory is still studying the heavens today. Mission team members figured out how to stabilize the observatory using sunlight pressure and the remaining two reaction wheels, and in 2014, Kepler embarked on a new mission called K2.
The spacecraft continues to hunt for alien planets during the K2 mission, but is also studying other cosmic objects and phenomena such as supernova explosions, comets and asteroids. Kepler has enough fuel on board to continue operating until the middle of 2018, team members have said.

WASHINGTON - La Nasa a découvert 1284 nouvelles planètes en dehors du système solaire (exoplanètes) grâce au télescope spatial Kepler, doublant ainsi le nombre de celles déjà découvertes et confirmées, a annoncé mardi l’agence spatiale américaine.
«Ceci nous donne l’espoir que, quelque part autour d’une étoile similaire à notre soleil, nous finirons par découvrir une planète soeur de la Terre», a affirmé Ellen Stofan, responsable scientifique de la Nasa.
Les astronomes sont certains à 99% que ces 1284 exoplanètes sont bien des planètes et pas un autre objet céleste.
Kepler a également recensé 1327 autres candidates au statut de planètes qui requièrent des analyses supplémentaires.
Parmi les près de 5000 exoplanètes candidates découvertes au total à ce jour, plus de 3200 ont été confirmées comme étant bien des planètes, dont 2325 ont été trouvées par Kepler, précise la Nasa dans un communiqué.
«Avant le lancement de Kepler nous ne savions pas si les exoplanètes étaient rares ou abondantes et maintenant il semblerait qu’il pourrait y avoir plus de planètes que d’étoiles», a relevé Paul Hertz, directeur de la division d’astrophysique de la Nasa.
«Ces informations guideront les futures missions pour savoir si nous sommes seuls ou pas dans l’univers», ajoute-t-il.
Kepler, qui a été lancé en 2009, a scruté 150 000 étoiles pour trouver des signes de planètes en orbite, notamment celles se trouvant à une distance idéale pour que l’eau puisse exister à l’état liquide et permette potentiellement à la vie de se développer.
NASA has gotten their hands on a GoPro and they seem to be making good use of it. The agency recently strapped the camera to a rocket travelling at 3,800 mph. As one can imagine, it was quite the video. Can anyone spot the UFO?
NASA GETS EXTREME WITH THE GOPRO
Surfers, skateboarders, and amateur filmmakers all love the GoPro for its portability and ease of use. Despite having all the technology they could possibly want at their fingertips, NASA has decided to get on the GoPro bandwagon as well. The agency just produced a mesmerising video using the popular action camera, and yeah, it was action packed. NASA attached the camera to the body of a rocket that was travelling at an insane 3,800 mph. This isn’t the first time the agency has worked with this particular camera, however, it likely tops all the other videos. Despite being an incredibly entertaining film, the camera had an educational angle as well.
CAMERA USED TO ANALYZE STABILITY
NASA claims the GoPro was sued to help measure aerodynamics and the stability of the spacecraft for future launches. After lift-off, we can see the rocket’s intensity as the GoPro spins violently. In a matter of seconds, the image slowly calms down as viewers are left to gaze at the beautiful view of the rocket leaving the comforting atmosphere of Earth. From there, the rocket splits in half as one part can be seen traveling back to earth. Reports are claiming this is the most beautiful NASA video that has ever produced. While it’s hard to disagree with that, some think the agency had other motives in mind.
SPYING ON UFO
This could very well be a simple video to show off the space agency’s technology to the words, but some UFO hunters believe there is more to this video than we can imagine. According to them, UFO’s in orbit around Earth are far from rare. In fact, they are everywhere and we have documented evidence of them. The government always denies the sighting of UFO’s but could it be a cover up? Attaching a camera to a rocket may be the government’s way of spying on UFO’s. Perhaps they don’t want their rockets tampered with by alien forces or perhaps just want to discreetly observe the aliens orbiting our planet. This is all a far-fetched conspiracy theory, but stranger things have happened.

Bionic Implant Improves Vision for Some Eye Patient
Bionic Implant Improves Vision for Some Eye Patients
By Christopher Wanjek-

It may sound like something out of "Star Trek": Doctors have implanted a device in patients that has restored some central vision after advanced eye disease left those individuals with only limited peripheral vision. This is the first time that artificial and natural vision has ever been integrated in humans, the U.K.-based research team said.
The study was small and preliminary, involving only four patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The research team reported that the implant enabled the patients to recognize the outline of faces and some facial characteristics, such as whether the mouth was open or closed — ordinary details of life that had long been lost to these patients, as AMD slowly robbed them of their vision.
AMD, as the name implies, is a deterioration of the eye's macula, a small area in the back of the eye that allows you to see fine details clearly. AMD does not lead to complete blindness, but rather to the gradual loss of central vision that can interfere with everyday activities, such as the ability to see faces, read or do close work, such as cooking. The remaining peripheral vision doesn't provide the acuity for such activities.
AMD is the leading cause of vision loss in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 2 million Americans have AMD — a number that's expected to more than double by 2050, according to government data. AMD is most common among people over age 65. The cause is unknown, but people's risk of being stricken by the condition is heavily influenced by smoking and genetics.
Doctors have been successful in slowing the advance of AMD through a dietary supplement regimen comprising vitamin C, beta-carotene and other nutrients. Injections of prescription drugs are also used to treat certain kinds of advanced AMD. However, no treatment can reverse the loss of vision.
To restore central vision in four patients with advanced AMD, doctors implanted into their eyes a device called the Argus II electronic epiretinal prosthesis. This is a new commercial product that, in earlier incarnations, has restored very limited sight to people who had only perception-of-light vision as a result of a rare, degenerative eye disease. The device is essentially a miniature camera attached to the back of the eye that captures images and sends electrical signals to the brain. [The 7 Biggest Mysteries of the Human Body]
None of the patients reported "confusion" about what they were seeing when the device was turned on. This was a concern for the researchers, because the brain was receiving a combination of natural electrical impulses from the peripheral areas of the eye as well as artificial impulses from the central implant, and they didn't know how the brain would interpret this.
Another element of success was that the implant didn't seem to cause problems in the patients' bodies; they tolerated them for up to six months, with no signs of infection.
The researchers wrote that, while previous implants have helped people with rare diseases, the latest research results may "indicate a new way of restoring central vision in one of the most common causes of severe loss of central vision in people over the age of 50, dry age-related macular degeneration … for which no other treatments are currently available."
The research team comprised doctors and engineers from the University of Manchester in England and the company that makes the implant, Second Sight Medical Products in Sylmar, California.

Missouri witness photographs triangle UFO
Missouri witness photographs triangle UFO
A Missouri witness at Richmond Heights reported watching and photographing a triangle UFO with bright lights at 11 p.m. on May 3, 2016, according to testimony in Case 76223 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and her family had just left the St. Louis Cardinal game and were westbound along Highway 40 when the incident occurred.
“I was the first to see it,” the witness stated.“Off in the distance approximately four or five miles away in the west – southwest from our current position – I could see an extremely bright row of lights – four round, very large set of lights side-by-side.”
Cropped and enlarged version of witness Image # 2. (Credit: MUFON)
The witness thought they were stadium lights.
“I pointed it out to my husband and son. My husband said, ‘It’s just lights on top of a building or crane, no big deal.’ As we got closer to it we realized there were no buildings or cranes around. All highway and some trees.”
Cropped and enlarged version of witness Image # 3. (Credit: MUFON)
The witness described the light and its location.
“The lights were straight forward like headlights. It seemed like it was in the same spot from when I first spotted it. We got onto the off ramp from Highway 40 and were going to head south on Highway 270. As soon as we got onto Highway 270 my husband pulled to the shoulder so I could try and get some better pictures of this ‘floating light tower.’”
Cropped and enlarged version of witness Image # 4. (Credit: MUFON)
The witness first thought the object was hovering.
“It seemed like it was less than a quarter of a mile to the right of us at that point. Since we were stopped and now looking up at this thing we realized it was moving really super slow instead of hanging out in midair like we originally thought. We could now see its triangular shape and the lights were not as I described above, but rather, two in front toward the outer tip of the wings and two toward the top center. And what looked like rope lighting around the outer perimeter.”
The witness continued to watch the object and its odd lighting.
“The lights definitely seemed to dim down as it was passing over us. My husband said there were a set of colored blinking lights on the underside, but I honestly didn’t notice them. It was bigger than our truck – an extended cab Silverado – and made absolutely no sound – the whole time. That was the most amazing part – how something so big flying through the air could be so quiet?”
Cropped and enlarged version of witness Image # 5. (Credit: MUFON)
The witness did not feel threatened during the sighting.
“And there wasn’t a moment during this amazing experience where we felt scared or threatened in any way. It stayed a safe distance above us, about as low as a helicopter would fly when doing a traffic report. As it was passing over us it picked up a tremendous amount of speed. Almost like it noticed us watching it. I know, let’s not get crazy. Then it took off straight toward St. Louis – east – and then shot upward at an angle toward the southeast. Within seconds it was out of sight.”

The witness feels that there should be additional witnesses.
“Even though it was about 11p.m. on a Tuesday, there was a Blues game and Cardinal game that just let out – so the highways were far from empty. Surely we are not the only three people in STL to see this thing. I sent a Tweet to Fox2now (local news) like I always do when I have something ‘odd’ or weather related to share. And I still have not heard a response from them.”
Missouri MUFON Chief Investigator Joe Palermo is investigating. Richmond Heights a city in St. Louis County, population 8,603.

Massive Alien Entity Floating Over Mexico Proves Aliens are Already Here
Massive Alien Entity Floating Over Mexico Proves Aliens are Already Here
A video showing a UFO of considerable proportions that strongly resembles a living creature has recently surfaced. Could this prove the UFO phenomenon is real, and even more, that otherworldly creatures reside on the Earth?
The sky is full of mysterious sightings, and although most of them can be given a rational explanation, there are some that seem to defy all logic. It’s true that even the unexplained can be interpreted as being nothing more than a common appearance, but thinking beyond that will offer relevant clues defining our world.
While Earth may be home to various undiscovered (or undocumented) alien lifeforms, there will always be skeptics trying to alter this perception by ridiculing the unusual, making it look like something childish or pathetic. This however is understandable, considering that cgi today can easily imitate reality, thus veiling an authentic and mystic phenomenon in a shroud of disbelief.
Such is the case of Zeroids – one of the first lifeforms to arrive and develop in space. These alien entities are capable of surviving in zero atmospheric pressure conditions from space, and are also known to reside on our planet. It may sound impossible, but alien entities are already among us, and there are numerous videos capturing their unusual behavior.
They float at extremely high altitudes, and are usually observed using a telescope. While some sightings are only visible in full light spectrum, these zeroids can be seen with the naked eye. These fascinating alien creatures are poorly documented, although many researchers know and even acknowledge their existence.
In 2012, Dr. Franklin Ruehl, an American ufologist and cryptozoologist with a Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics from UCLA, shared his opinions about zeroids in an article for The Huffington Post.
Considering that our island universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old, it is conceivable that zeroids represent the earliest forms in the cosmic backdrop, perhaps even existing for nearly that entire time,” he wrote. “With such an elonged span of time at their disposal, zeroids could easily have trod many different evolutionary paths: They may range in dimensionality from the microscopic to the macroscopic.
According to Dr. Ruehl, these ancient, organic beings could be found throughout the entire universe and have adapted to different conditions of life. He suggests that such creatures can vary from the “utterly simple to the extraordinary complex,” they take various shapes and sizes and can have a solitary life, as well as live inside vast colonies. He also speculates that the “larger zeroidal entities might possibly feast upon smaller ones,” theory that’s similar to what we call the “food chain” here on earth, but on a universal scale.
On May 3, 2016, a video has surfaced revealing an impressive zeroid sighting floating above Guadalajara, Mexico. It strongly resembles a blue whale, but from another dimension, and it may also prove that Ruehl’s theory regarding smaller zeroids being assimilated or eaten by the bigger ones is true. On a cosmic level, this could be a variation of the food chain defined by our earthly standards.
Scott Waring from ufosightingsdaily who shared this find with the UFO community expressed his excitement on his blog:
It’s not often you get to see a UFO that moves like a living, breathing animal, but this is one of those. Watch as it almost swims through the sky. Such creatures do exist in space and have been recorded on live cam, but to see them in our sky, that’s even rarer.
Since these otherworldly creatures remain mostly undocumented, we can only speculate on certain aspects such as their intelligence level and composition, but their presence on this planet and throughout space is a well-known thing.
While some believe them to be nothing more than weather balloons, or elaborated jokes meant to distract us from the real green men and artificial crafts, I consider them to be part of the various, mind-boggling UFO phenomenon. The truth is out there, and before searching beyond our earthly boundaries, we should meticulously analyze our own planet, as it may hold the key to universal knowledge.
US General Warns of Little Green Men and Hybrid Armies in the Near Future
US General Warns of Little Green Men and Hybrid Armies in the Near Future
There’s a chance that 2016 will be the great year of disclosure. A recent statement of a renowned military figure pointed out at a possible alien contact this year.
An unprecedented race to find alien lifeforms outside of our planet has recently began. Declassified files from different institutions have shown that UFOs are an actual phenomenon that has been kept at bay for many years. Prominent figures from across the world are now slowly preparing the world for UFO disclosure. The moment seems right with all the massive shift in technology, but are we going to be satisfied upon learning the truth?
A recent episode of such sort has as its protagonist an important American figure. General Mark A. Milley, the 39th Chief of Staff of the U.S Army, has warned the world about the upcoming events that are about to change the world as we know it. A few decades back, such a statement would had been considered a fantasy point of view to say the least, but recent years have shown that even the impossible can be achieved if we only desire badly enough.
General Milley spilled the beans about a certain topic that has been considered taboo for countless years – aliens and the UFO phenomenon, which in his acceptance appears to be extremely real. In a press conference he let the following information slip away:
“I can tell you that, from personal experience, and I know there’s many others who could tell you that as well…you’ll be dealing with terrorists, you’ll be dealing with hybrid armies, you’ll be dealing with little green men…and you’ll going to be dealing with it all, and it’s all going to be dealt with simultaneously. For that, you’re going to have to be ready. That’s why readiness, in my mind, is number one.”
This is a direct warning signal for the American people, and also the world. An imposing figure from the U.S. army has once again revealed what the future holds in store for us. The icing on the cake is probably the direct reference to the “little green men” that, according to the general, will make their presence noticed in the near future.
But why does he speak of aliens as a threat? Is it possible that the world governments have been provoking these otherworldly beings to reveal themselves to the world? Do they really know of their existence?
After thoroughly analyzing this statement, along with many other facts noticed throughout the years, an unusual scenario loomed into my mind. What if the U.S. government did have a secret pact with these otherworldly visitors, and are now planning to end it because our earthly technology has reached a considerable level?
If so, it’s possible that the U.S. has borrowed their knowledge in exchange for certain things such as free abduction and exchange programs, green light to monitor our species, and even free access to walk among us. All of these were possible through a silence treaty that is about to be broken.
This would explain why NASA has bombed the moon in 2009, and why we haven’t returned there for so long. A substantial goal for humanity has been to walk and eventually set camp on Earth’s natural satellite. However, we’ve briskly renounced our dream soon after achieving the first step. Were the alien outposts discovered there the main reason for this? Numerous photos that were made public by various governmental institutions show plenty of unidentified objects found in the vicinity of our landers and orbiters, but also structures resembling mining facilities.
If this is the case, it’s possible that the alien treaty has been (or soon will be) violated by our earthly rulers. The outcome can only be interpreted for the time being, but the future doesn’t look so bright for the regular humans.
Whatever the case, we can only wait for the final disclosure event. The warning has been launched, and we may have a few more years to prepare for the future, so if you haven’t built a bunker yet, you may need to reconsider your list of priorities. Search no longer for the truth, as it has apparently been here for decades.
The Black Knight is a mysterious ship that orbits around the Earth before the modern Space Age. Its origin, as well as its function, is unknown but different images of this object exist. The images have been taken by NASA.
In the following video we show you a long and comprehensive investigation to reconstruct, with the little available information of the object.
Even though the investigation is in the Spanish language, the images speak for themselves.
20 facts about the Black Knight satellite
According to monitoring agencies around the world, The Black knight satellite has been transmitting radio signals for over 50 years now.
The US and Soviet Union have shown particular interest in this “unidentified space object”
Rumors are that it was Nikola Tesla the first man to “intercept” a signal from the black knight satellite in 1899 after building a high-voltage radio device in Colorado Springs.
Since the 1930′s Astronomers worldwide have been reporting strange radio signals which allegedly come from the “Black Knight”.
In 1957, Dr. Luis Corralos of the Communications Ministry in Venezuela photographed it while taking pictures of Sputnik II as it passed over Caracas.
The story of the Black Knight made its media debut in the 1940′s when the St. Louis Dispatch and The San Francisco Examiner wrote about the “Satellite” on May 14th 1954.
The Time Magazine wrote about the Black Knight Satellite on the seventh of March, 1960.
In 1957, an unknown “object” was seen “shadowing” the Sputnik 1 Spacecraft. According to reports, the “unidentified object” was in Polar orbit.
In 1957. The United States nor the Russians possessed the technology to maintain a spacecraft in Polar Orbit.
The first Polar orbiting satellite was launched in 1960.
Polar orbits are often used for earth-mapping, earth observation, capturing the earth as time passes from one point and reconnaissance satellites. This would put the Black Knight in the category of an observational Satellite.
In the 1960′s the Black Knight satellite was located once again in Polar Orbit. Astronomers and Scientists calculated the object’s weight to be over 10 tons which would be at that time the Heaviest Artificial Satellite to orbit our Planet.
The Black Knight’s orbit was unlike any other object orbiting Earth.
The Grumman Aircraft Corporation gave much importance to this mysterious “Satellite”, On September 3, 1960, seven months after the satellite was first detected by radar, a tracking camera at Grumman Aircraft Corporation’s Long Island factory took a photograph of the Black Knight satellite.
The Grumman Aircraft Corporation formed a committee to study the data received from the observations made but nothing was made public.
In 1963, Gordon Cooper was launched into space. On his last orbit, he reported seeing a glowing green object in front of his capsule in the distance moving towards his Spacecraft. The Muchea tracking station, in Australia, which Cooper reported the object to, picked up this Unidentified object on Radar travelling East to West.
It was the Ham Radio operator who apparently decoded a series of signals received from the UFO Satellite and interpreted it as a star-chart centered on the Epsilon Bootes Star System.
According to the decoded message, the Black Knight satellite originated from the Epsilon Bootes Star System 13.000 years ago.
On August 23, 1954 the technology magazine Aviation Week and Space Technology released a story about the Black Knight Satellite that angered the Pentagon who were trying to keep the information secret.
NASA has released official images which apparently show the Black Knight Satellite.
Scientists suspect that chunks from the bottom of the North American tectonic plate, which is the upper portion of the mantle, are peeling off and sinking. Replacing the resulting void is gooey material from the asthenosphere.

An odd phenomenon may explain why the Southeastern United States has experienced recent earthquakes, even though the region sits snugly in the middle of a tectonic plate and not at the edges, where all the ground-shaking action usually happens.
This seismicity — or relatively frequent earthquakes — may be the result of areas along the bottom of the North American tectonic plate peeling off, the researchers said. And this peeling motion is likely to continue, leading to more earthquakes in the future, like the 2011 magnitude-5.8 temblor that shook the nation's capital. [Image Gallery: This Millennium's Destructive Earthquakes]
To figure out the cause of these earthquakes, Berk Biryol, a seismologist at UNC Chapel Hill, and colleagues created 3D images of the uppermost part of Earth's mantle, which is just below the crust and comprises the bottom of a tectonic plate. These tectonic plates scoot around atop a layer of warm, viscous fluid called the asthenosphere.
The resulting X-ray images revealed that the plate's thickness in the southeast United States was uneven, with thick regions of dense, old rock combined with thinner areas composed of younger rocks that were also less dense.
The ground-shaking from the magnitude-5.8 earthquake near Mineral, Virginia, on Aug. 23, 2011, was felt by more people than any other earthquake in U.S. history, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Here's what the researchers think caused the wonkiness: Over time, as new material was added to the plate and parts of the plate were pulled apart, areas of higher density formed. Gravity would have pulled down the denser areas into the mantle, and at some point chunks would have broken off to sink into the gooey asthenosphere below, the researchers speculated.
At the same time, to fill the void left by the chunks peeling off from the bottom of the plate, the lighter material in the asthenosphere would have moved up to fill in the space. That buoyant material then would have cooled to become the thinner, younger section of the plate.
Where parts of the plate broke off or peeled, it became thinner and more prone to slip along fault lines, thus causing seismic activity. Biryol estimates that this activity has occurred for the past 65 million years or so.
"These events, usually, when they occur, they occur over long periods of time. The geological time scale is millions of years," Biryol said.
While the research looks only at what has occurred in the past, and not what seismic activity there may be in the future, Biryol said people living in the Southeast don't need earthquake preparedness kits just yet.
"I don't think things will be changing in the future, at least not in our lifetimes or our grandchildren's grandchildren's life," Biryol told Live Science. "Geological processes take place over long periods of time and nothing will change dramatically overnight."
Stunning Cloud Maps Tell the Story of Life on Earth

Clouds might seem like a nuisance if you’re headed on a Sunday afternoon picnic. But put aside your personal biases for a second and consider this: clouds can also tell the story of life on earth.
That story has become a lot clearer thanks to new maps created by scientists that document a global year in the clouds in more intimate detail than ever before. The maps — a cloud atlas if you will — provide a fine-grained view of how clouds move around in our atmosphere and represent an important link between climate and ecological research. They’re also pretty easy on the eyes.
It turns out, England is indeed cloudy for most of the year while most of the Bay Area’s clouds show up in February. Adam Wilson, a researcher at the University of Buffalo who helped create the cloud atlas, joked that you could use the maps to settle bets between friends on who lives in the cloudiest place.
But beyond bets and bragging rights, Wilson said the maps also provide a tool for tracking life around the planet. It turns out that the different biomes of the world from deserts to mountains to cloud forests all have their own special patterns of clouds, patterns that can be instrumental to studying the patterns of life itself.
"I wasn’t expecting the signal of the biomes would stand out so stark globally," Wilson said. "The Mediterranean, southwest Africa, Australia, they all pop out as a totally different. That’s not scientifically amazing but seeing it for the first time in a map was just striking."

There have been other efforts to get fine-grained cloud data in the past, but they’ve been marred by being limited to the tropics or getting false positives of clouds in snowy areas. Wilson and colleagues at Yale created a new analysis of satellite data captured at a 1-kilometer resolution by NASA everyday for the past 15 years to shine a light on the cloudy skies.
The new data analysis helps bridge an big divide between the climate and ecology communities. Ecologists track plants and animals across the planet at very fine scale, sometimes looking at a few square feet of soil, but climate science often provides data at a much larger spatial scale. With the new dataset, ecologists' understanding of the climate factors that affect life has vastly expanded.
And because it’s satellite data, the majority of the globe is covered including places that might be lacking on-the-ground measurements like rainforests and deserts in developing countries. Those areas are also home to a number of threatened and endangered species that will face growing pressure from climate change.
“Having the best possible environmental data will lead to best species model distribution approach,” he said, noting that that modeling could in turn help inform management decisions.

Species distribution modeling incorporates a whole host of environmental data from climate to the type of soil on the ground to get a better view of where individual plants and animals live. Wilson and his colleagues recently authored a study that plugged the new cloud data into a model for two species and found it helped improved their range estimates.
“One thing that’s been a disconnect between the climate community and the ecological community is this gap in spatial resolution,” he said. “Using remote sensing like we’ve done that’s capable of directly observing cloud cover is how we can get down to fine spatial resolution.”
Climate change is expected to put more stress on plants and animals. That means decisions on how to manage them, what areas to conserve and whether and where to relocate threatened species will take on ever greater importance. The new data could help answer some of those pressing questions.
Because the data is publicly available, users beyond the ecological realm can also play around with it. Wilson told Vox there could be a whole host of applications in the solar industry, which perhaps not surprisingly has a lot invested in the sunny side equation.

Bolivia: Remembering the Tarija UFO Crash (6 May 1978)
38 Years Since Mysterious Object Fell at the Border An unidentified flying object fell to the ground at the border between Bolivia and Argentina. Eyewitnesses remember that moment. According to their stories, NASA was involved.
38 years after a metallic and incandescent object fell at the border between Bolivia and Argentina, there are enduring mysteries about what took place on May 6, 1978.
Elias Vacaflor, a witness to the events 38 years ago, says that NASA was on the scene and did not say a word about what was taken away after the UFO crash. According to the former congressman, letters were sent to the government - both to the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Relations, without replies having ever been received. They only agreed that it was a "subject that did not give rise to any concerns."
"I remember that the sky lit up in an unusual way due to the flying of an object resembling a cylinder flying for Northwest to Southeast," says Vacaflor.
Residents of Mecoya, Mecoyita, Sidras, La Merced and other communities surrounding the crash area also witnessed the object and heard the subsequent explosion. Residents of Argentina, the neighboring country, also felt it, and the press offered information on the extraordinary event. The Clarín newspaper ran the headline "UFO Found on the Border Between Argentina and Bolivia."
Journalist Juan Antonio Abarzúa, who worked for El Tribuno de Saltaat the time, said that NASA helicopters arrived at the crash site.
Abarzúa, who formed part of that newspaper's visit to the scene, coincided with another team headed by physicist Orlando Bravo. He says that upon reaching the crash site, they found a scene of total destruction: a mountain - Cerro El Salle - had been destroyed, leaving a furrowed crater measuring 1,500 meters long, 800 meters wide and 50 meters deep (4920 ft. x 2600 ft. x 160 ft.).
Residents of Mecoya had already told them that the "gringos had taken away" the remains of whatever had fallen there.

Whether we visualize aliens as ray gun-toting invaders or peace-loving geniuses, we are fascinated by whether they exist and how they might finally contact us. It seems that scientists are no different.
From alien megastructures to space tractors, here are some of the more bizarre ways scientists have theorized that aliens are likely to contact humans.
10. The Megastructure
The mysterious monolith in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey turned out to be an alien machine designed to observe species and trigger evolutionary behaviors. Some scientists have argued that alien megastructures could be acting as a giant beacon to other civilizations.
In fact, scientists have been closely watching the star KIC 8462852, whose luminescence has mysteriously varied over the past few years. Some argue that the star is surrounded by an alien megastructure that occasionally blocks light coming from the star. Other, less exciting explanations are a swarm of exoplanets or a planet-forming disc. Scientists have searched for brief laser pulses from the distant star, but have yet to find any.
“The hypothesis of an alien megastructure around KIC 8462852 is rapidly crumbling apart,” said Douglas Vakoch, president and author of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) International. He also stated, “We found no evidence of an advanced civilization beaming intentional laser signals toward Earth.”
9. Flashing A Billion Stars
Astrophysicist Ragbir Bhathal works with SETI to scan the skies for possible communications from extraterrestrial intelligence. Unlike most SETI facilities, which look for radio signals, Bhathal’s facility looks for laser pulses at his lab. The pulses sweep a nearby volume of space—within about 100 light-years—to find laser bursts that come in regular patterns. Scientists are now capable of detecting signals as faint as a single photon of light every few fractions of a second.
Lasers can, in principle, help transmit messages over extraordinary distances. While scientists have monitored a large number of stars looking for alien laser signals—like the facilities at Harvard and Princeton that scanned more than 10,000 Sun-like stars for several years—no evidence for any alien communication has been found.
8. Alien Probes
Perhaps alien signals aren’t traveling in electromagnetic waves at all. Instead, signs of intelligent life may be very small objects sent out to explore the universe. After all, we have sent out probes to planets such Mars, Saturn, and Venus. Mathematicians in Scotland have suggested that “self-replicating” alien probes could have already explored our solar system andmay still be here, but are undetectable to our inferior technologies.
The robotic probes could explore our galaxy and self-replicate themselves from interstellar dust and gas. Afterward, the parent and child probes would each set off for a different star, where they would look for signs of life and self-replicate themselves again. Doctors Nicholson and Forgan concluded that a fleet of these probes could explore the entire galaxy in the relatively short time of 10 million years.
Dr. Forgan said that the fact that we have not detected or seen any evidence of alien probes in the solar system suggests either that there have been no probe-building civilizations in our neighborhood in a few million years or that the probes are so hi-tech we are unable to observe them. Another possibility is that we are failing the aliens’ intelligence test by not detecting the probes.
7. Radio Waves From Far Away
For years, mysterious blasts of radio waves coming from billions of light-years away have stumped our scientists. Lasting only several thousandths of a second, the blasts, called fast radio bursts, have appeared randomly in the sky. Scientists haven’t been able to figure out what these blazing bright bursts actually are. Alternately, they have suggested that the culprits could be evaporating black holes, colliding dense objects, or flaring dead stars.
After studying how the incoming radio waves from a newly detected burst were twisted and scattered, a team of scientists have uncovered some crucial clues about the blast’s origin: It originated far away, in an area with dense, highly magnetized plasma, and it traveled through two gas clouds before colliding with the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia.
Now, astronomers suspect that flaring magnetars (magnetic stars) might also emit radio waves and could be the culprits behind fast radio bursts. “It’s very exciting,” says Duncan Lorimer, the astronomer at West Virginia University who discovered the first fast radio burst in 2007. “We are definitely moving further forward to solving the mystery.”
6. Junk Radiation
Not all aliens may be looking for other creatures in the universe. Theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson has argued that even shy aliens might develop technology to siphon energy from a nearby star using an orbiting object known as a Dyson sphere. If humans were to collect all of the Sun’s energy, we would probably use some form of Dyson sphere.
Freeman J. Dyson first explored this idea as a thought experiment in 1960. He proposed that searching for such structures might lead to the discovery of advanced civilizations elsewhere in the galaxy. These Dyson sphereswould throw off waste heat in the form of infrared radiation. Already, researchers at the Allen Telescope Array and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope are scouring the skies for signs of such waste radiation.
If it sounds like science fiction, Dyson did admit that he borrowed it from the 1937 science fiction novel Star Maker and used it as inspiration.
5. Space Tractors
Jaron Lanier suggested that it was time to start thinking about repositioning the Sun and other nearby stars in order to send signals to aliens. After that, we should begin to search for signs that suggest aliens might have done the same for us.
In fact, when neutron stars were discovered, scientists thought they might be messages from “little green men.” Lanier suggested sending a significant number of “tractor” spacecrafts over many years into the outer solar system. The spacecraft would be programmed to operate for hundreds of thousands of years, with their gravitational pull diverting solar objects.
The point of moving stars around is to guide them into orbital formations that would not have occurred naturally. A group of stars organized to present a sign in this way might be called a “graphstellation”—like a constellation, but also a form of writing. This message would say “Hey, we are here.”
4. Needle In A Haystack
Even if aliens are trying to make contact, there’s no guarantee we would receive their messages. The universe is 91 billion light-years across, and messages could come from anywhere. To narrow the search, some argue that aliens would be more likely to send messages our way if they knew where we were. A study published in February 2016 found that there are only 82 stars that we know of that have a direct line of sight to Earth.
Heller and his colleague, Ralph Pudritz at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, predicted that there might be up to 100,000 stars within this zone of the sky—some of which could have planets teeming with life orbiting them. One advantage of this approach is that this tiny slice of sky is relatively easy to search.
“You could just skim or scan the whole Earth transit zone over the course of maybe a few dozen nights or so, depending on how large the field of view of your radio telescope is,” Heller told Live Science. If these hidden exoplanets harbor life, they’d also be in the same galactic neighborhood . . . just a few hundred light-years away.
3. Destruction Of An Alien Planet
One of the ways we may be able to spot alien civilizations is through the destruction of their own planet, says Dr. Nathalie Cabrol, who is leading the hunt for alien life at the SETI Institute in California. “There is a window in time when you can expect a civilization to get to this disequilibrium as we are in now. During this time, you will find signatures in the atmosphere of a planet that shouldn’t be there.”
Cabrol’s views echo that of the former astronaut, John Grunsfeld, who earlier this year said, “If there is life out there, intelligent life, they’ll know we’re here.” He believes advanced alien civilizations may spot humans from afar due to the changes we’ve made to Earth’s environment. At the Astrobiology Science Conference in Chicago, he stated, “We put out atmospheric signatures that guarantee someone with a large telescope 20 light-years away could detect us.”
2. Wait A Few Billion Years
Researchers from NASA’s Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) used observations from telescopes, like the Hubble and Kepler, to calculate that Earth is only in the first 8 percent of all Earth-like planets that will ever form. The other 92 percent of Earth-like planets haven’t even been formed yet. Author Peter Behroozi said, “Compared to all the planets that will ever form in the universe, the Earth is actually quite early.”
Because it is so early, the researchers think it is highly unlikely that ours is the only planet that will ever develop intelligent life. In the paper, Behroozi and his co-author, Molly Peeples, wrote, “The Earth formed before 92 percent of similar planets that the universe will form. This implies an 8 percent chance that we are the only civilization the universe will ever have.” Those are pretty good odds to say that we aren’t alone. We might just need to wait a few billion years to make sure.
1. Find A Clone Of Our Sun
What if we could find a star that’s similar in temperature, size, and chemical composition to our Sun? Our Earth relies on the Sun’s energy to fuel life by using photosynthesis. If we could find a star that matches our Sun, then maybe there could also be a twin solar system.
In 2012, astronomers discovered HP 56948, the Sun’s “clone,” only 200 light-years away. The chemical composition of HP 56548 has unusual amounts of aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and silicon—the same ratio as our Sun. However, the system may not have an Earth-sized planet in its habitable zone. Even if there is one, it may not have the right chemical ingredients for life, such as water and carbon. And, even if there is a flourishing world with life forms, it may not have progressed to an intelligent species.
If it takes four billion years for intelligent beings to emerge, and if there is an Earth-like planet, then a civilization should be orbiting HP 56548 right now.
A long time ago in a Welsh aircraft hangar far away: Never-before-seen images reveal secret 1979 project to construct Star Wars' Millennium Falcon for classic films
A long time ago in a Welsh aircraft hangar far away: Never-before-seen images reveal secret 1979 project to construct Star Wars' Millennium Falcon for classic films
The only full-scale model of Han Solo's Millennium Falcon spaceship was built in a Welsh hangar in 1979
The life-size version of the spaceship was constructed for The Empire Strikes Back, the second film in the series
Workers at Pembroke Dock were sworn to secrecy over the project and it was nicknamed the 'Magic Roundabout'
The secret of how the legendary Star Wars spaceship the Millennium Falcon was built has been revealed - in a high-security project codenamed 'Magic Roundabout' in the Welsh countryside.
The only full-size model of Han Solo's iconic craft was constructed at an aircraft hangar in Pembroke Dock, west Wales, where workers were sworn to silence over what they were making.
Newly released photographs show dozens of joiners, welders and metal-platers at work during the three months they spent putting together the giant freighter flown by Harrison Ford in the famous science fiction series.

Engineering foreman John Clark and two friends are pictured beside the life-size Millennium Falcon model in a newly released photo of the project
The distinctive shape of the Millennium Falcon is clearly recognisable in the second photo taken by Mr Clark
A group of workers go over the plans for the massive spaceship during its construction at Pembroke Dock
It was built inside an aircraft hangar with workers involved in the project sworn to secrecy
The huge prop was made inside an aircraft hangar which had been home to the Sunderland flying boats during the Second World War.
The giant steel doors were kept shut from morning until night to hide the construction - there were no unauthorised visits, photographs were banned and the workers were sworn to secrecy.
But one amateur photographer managed to get a snap of the 'fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy' as it was nearing completion.
The never before seen picture shows how the Millennium Falcon earned its wings in the town of Pembroke Dock.
John Evans, a historian in the town, said: 'Star Wars has a global following and this is yet another great reason for tourists to come here.
'Pembroke Dock is a military town and we have people coming from far and wide to follow family footsteps, be it Navy, Army or Air Force.
'But there is also this incredible link to Star Wars which is almost a cult thing and a 21st century concept.
'People can still see the very building where the Millennium Falcon was made.'
The photograph was taken by local man John Clark, a foreman with Marcon Fabrications, a heavy engineering firm that serviced the UK's petrochemical and oil industries.
Work on the model (pictured) finished in 1979 and it was transported to film studios in Hertfordshire
Mr Clark recalled: 'One of the directors was in cahoots with someone with the studios or someone associated with the Star Wars films.
'I was very surprised that we'd gone that type of work because we built stuff for the oil industry and the offshore industry, but we got the contract. It was just a reasonable size team of workers that built all the framework.
'I was foreman on the job at the time. When we built it - as you can see on the photographs - we had it on hover pads on the legs so that it could be moved as though it was going to take off and so forth.
'We tried to keep it as much a secret as possible because you didn't want everybody prying and coming round the hangar, but it got out. People were prying and trying to see what was going on but half of them didn't believe it, saying: "Building a spaceship? That's rubbish".'
He said the Millennium Falcon was then disassembled into pieces so it could be transported to the studios in Hertfordshire.
'The artists in the film industry, the craftsman, went to work on it and made it into what you see on The Empire Strikes Back.'
This rare photograph was taken during the top-secret project which was codenamed Magic Roundabout
Work on the spaceship finished in 1979 and the prop was then transported to Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire
The company had been asked by filmmakers to build a life-sized, moving prop for key scenes in the second Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back.
And Mr Clark used his pocket-sized 110 camera to get a colour photograph of himself and two friends standing next to the Millennium Falcon.
Work on the spaceship finished shortly after the picture was taken in 1979 and the prop was transported to Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.
The film was released in 1980 and was a box office smash around the world. This was followed up by the third film in the trilogy, 1983's Return of the Jedi.
A permanent exhibition of Star Wars photographs, artefacts and memorabilia is being opened to celebrate Pembroke Dock's links with the iconic movie franchise.
Mr Evans added: 'This has been a huge thing for us.
'This is great for tourism and a very unique claim to fame for Pembroke Dock.'
Star Wars The Force Awakens Millennium Falcon Scene Reversed
THE MILLENNIUM FALCON: HAN SOLO AND CHEWBACCA'S LIGHT FREIGHTER
Han Solo's much-loved Millennium Falcon (pictured) has taken a unique place in pop culture
In the 38 years since it first appeared on the big screen, the space ship piloted by Han Solo and his Wookiee assistant Chewbacca in the original Star Wars series has become an easily recognizable piece of pop culture.
Armed with laser cannons and the famed 'hyperdrive' technology, it featured in the first movie A New Hope and went on to become a regular setting throughout the series.
Such is the high esteem in which fans hold it, the exact specifications of the model, its weaponry, shielding systems and engines have all been meticulously documented.
The ship is technically a light freighter measuring 111ft in length by 82ft wide. While it is rounded and flat in shape, it measures 26ft high - inclusive of the attached exterior weaponry.
Its maximum speed is 1,050kmph. But this is vastly surpassed when it goes into 'hyperdrive' - a mode illustrated in the films when the stars surrounding it appear stretched or blurred as it travels through light years within the space of hours.
The ship is powered by five different engines - primarily a 'Quadrex power core' and four backup or emergency generators.
Its main weapons are 2G Quad Laster cannons and a hidden ground-defence blaster cannon, though many other improvised weapons make brief appearances in the films.
Capable of carrying six passengers, it is crewed by two people - those usually being Han Solo or Chewbacca - with provisions for two others to man guns during space battles.
The ship was piloted by Harrison Ford's character Han Solo (right). Here he pictured next to Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia and Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker

'World on brink of being told aliens EXIST' after NASA 'hints at announcement'
'World on brink of being told aliens EXIST' after NASA 'hints at announcement'
THE world's population is being primed for an announcement that aliens have visited Earth after NASA hinted at new developments, conspiracy theorists have shockingly claimed.
“We’re on the verge of things that people have wondered about for millennia. Within all of our lifetimes we’re going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system. We’re going to understand the implications of that for life here on Earth.”
But, whereas the NASA chief was likely referring to signs of the earliest forms of life, such as single-celled organisms in space, the conspiracy community has taken the remarks a giant leap further.
In a posting on Conspiracyclub.com, the website argued: "Most people 'in the know' realise that NASA is just part of the military industrial complex, but a recent open admission on mainstream news that 'there are indications of alien life' is likely the beginning of a bid to get your undivided attention before full-forced disclosure ensues.
"It isn’t going to take that long if we open our eyes."
What we’re going to understand is that our 'secret' government has been hiding this fact for ages.
Conspiracy Club
The website report suggested that rather than being on the brink of an historic discovery, the world's leaders have been hiding the existence of aliens from us for years.
The post added: "What we’re going to understand is that our 'secret' government has been hiding this fact for ages.
"Our shadow government has been lying about off-planet corporate slavery rings, alien abductions, benevolent beings who can only do so much until our collective consciousness elevates, and much, much more.
"We will learn that aside from extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet and many different ET races tinkering with our DNA over millenia, there are ancient humanoid races that are more than 10million years old."
Conspiracy theorists claim that a global elite comprised of people more senior than the US President have been hiding evidence from the general population for years for fear of their reaction and the potential impact on religion, the rule of law, and civil disorder.
But sceptics claim much of these conspiracies are just myths that begin life as sic-fi novels and explode once someone puts them forward, before they are repeated online over and over.
But the website is convinced something is coming, but that NASA's talk of new announcements were just a "ruse."
It added: "Be sure to remember those who have been executed to try to prove this information to us decades ago, and to use discernment when the truth is finally revealed."

“Wereld krijgt binnenkort te horen dat aliens bestaan”
“Wereld krijgt binnenkort te horen dat aliens bestaan”
De wereldbevolking wordt warm gemaakt voor buitenaards bezoek op aarde. Dat maken complottheoretici op uit uitspraken door NASA-wetenschappers, schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
Volgens hoofdwetenschapper van de NASA Ellen Stofan zullen we in de komende 10 jaar sterke tekenen van buitenaards leven hebben en in de komende 10 tot 20 jaar definitief bewijs ervan.
“We weten waar we moeten zoeken en hoe we moeten zoeken,” zei ze. “In de meeste gevallen hebben we daar ook de technologie al voor. De vraag is niet of we bewijs van buitenaards leven zullen vinden, de vraag is wanneer.”
Verborgen gehouden
Hoewel de hoofdwetenschapper waarschijnlijk microben bedoelde, gaan complottheoretici een stap verder. De website Conspiracyclub.co schrijft bijvoorbeeld: “De meeste ingewijden beseffen dat NASA onderdeel is van het militair-industrieel complex, maar de recente bekentenis in de media dat er ‘sterke aanwijzingen zijn voor buitenaards leven’ is waarschijnlijk een poging om je aandacht te trekken voordat de openbaarmaking plaatsvindt.”
“Het zal niet zo lang gaan duren als we onze ogen openen,” klinkt het nog.
De website suggereert dat de wereldleiders het bestaan van aliens al jaren voor ons verborgen houden. “Onze ‘geheime overheid’ verbergt dit al een eeuwigheid. Onze schaduwregering heeft gelogen over buitenaardse ontvoeringen, goedaardige wezens die weinig kunnen doen tot ons collectieve bewustzijn stijgt en nog veel meer.”
Met ons DNA geknoeid
“We zullen erachter komen dat buitenaardse wezens niet alleen onze planeet bezoeken, maar ook dat veel buitenaardse rassen door de jaren heen met ons DNA hebben geknoeid en dat er oude mensachtige rassen zijn die meer dan 10 miljoen jaar oud zijn.”
Complottheoretici claimen dat de wereldelite, bestaande uit mensen die boven de Amerikaanse president staan, al jaren bewijs verborgen houden voor het publiek uit angst voor de reactie en de impact op religie.
Sceptici beweren dat veel van deze complotten mythes zijn die gebaseerd zijn op sciencefictionboeken. De website is echter overtuigd dat er ‘iets’ aanstaande is, maar dat de aankondiging door de NASA slechts een zoethoudertje is.
Een voor velen bekend gegeven, is dat wanneer er een UFO in de buurt is er elektrische storingen optreden.
Talloze verhalen van ooggetuigen waarbij automotoren opeens niet meer werken en batterijen van mobiele telefoons zomaar ineens leeg zijn.
Het komt echter niet vaak voor dat je iets dergelijks in de praktijk kunt zien.
In de buurt van een klein Pools dorp, Majdan in de buurt van Lublin, gebeurde iets heel merkwaardigs.
In de onderstaande video zie je hoe een cirkelvormige ufo langzaam een windmolenpark nadert.
Dan gebeurt er iets wat je niet dagelijks zult zien; de windmolen stopt met draaien. Nadat de UFO is gepasseerd, beginnen de wieken weer gewoon te draaien alsof er niet is gebeurd.

UFO Orb Visits Wind Farm In Poland, Stops Propellers, April 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 17, 2016 Location of sighting: Majdanek, Lublin, Poland Here is an interesting catch from Poland. A UFO exlpores a wind farm and the propeller stops as the UFO comes closer to it. This kind of UFO is known well by NASA, because this metallic orb style UFO had a fleet of 3 or more following so close the the Shuttle Atlantis that they delayed landing for 24 hours. The orbs were similar to this. I will place the videos below to compare. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: Film recorded April 17, 2016 near the small village of Majdan in the upper region of Lublin. According to witnesses, the object came flying from the east and flew over the area for about an hour. After the recording object disappeared.

Advanced Aliens Were Around BEFORE US: Confirms Exoplanet Scientists
Advanced Aliens Were Around BEFORE US: Confirms Exoplanet Scientists
It is becoming very clear that us humans may not be not the universe’s first advanced civilization.
This is the conclusion of a recent revision of the famous 1961 Drake Equation, which actually estimates the number of intelligent civilizations in the universe.
Their new equation includes recent data from Nasa’s Kepler satellite on the number of exoplanets that could harbour life.
Researchers also adapted the equation from being about the number of civilizations that exist now, to being about the probability of civilization being the only one that has ever existed!
We are FAR from alone
This important recent study shows that unless the odds of advanced life evolving on a habitable planet are astonishingly low, then humankind is not the only advanced civilization to have lived and there are probably far more advanced Beings out there in the greater Universe!
In fact, the odds of an advanced civilization developing need to be less than one in 10 billion trillion for humans to be the only intelligent life in the universe.
But Kepler data places those odds much higher, which means technologically advanced aliens are likely to have existed at some point.
Adam Frank, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester and co-author of the paper, went on to say:
‘The question of whether advanced civilizations exist elsewhere in the universe has always been vexed with three large uncertainties in the Drake equation,’
‘We’ve known for a long time approximately how many stars exist.
‘We didn’t know how many of those stars had planets that could potentially harbour life, how often life might evolve and lead to intelligent beings, and how long any civilizations might last before becoming extinct.’
‘Thanks to Nasa’s Kepler satellite and other searches, we now know that roughly one-fifth of stars have planets in ‘habitable zones,’ where temperatures could support life as we know it.
‘So one of the three big uncertainties has now been constrained.’ He said.
Frank went on to say that the third big question is. how long civilizations might survive – something which is as of yet still completely unknown.
‘The fact that humans have had rudimentary technology for roughly ten thousand years doesn’t really tell us if other societies would last that long or perhaps much longer,’ he explained.
The Drake equation (top row) has proven to be a durable framework for research. But it is impossible to do anything more than guess at variables such as L, the probably longevity of other advanced civilizations. In new research, Adam Frank and Woodruff Sullivan offer a new equation (bottom row)
But Frank and his co-author, Woodruff Sullivan of the astronomy department at the University of Washington, found they could eliminate that term altogether by simply expanding the question.
‘Rather than asking how many civilizations may exist now, we ask ‘are we the only technological species that has ever arisen?’ said Sullivan.
‘This shifted focus eliminates the uncertainty of the civilization lifetime question and allows us to address what we call the ‘cosmic archaeological question’ – how often in the history of the universe has life evolved to an advanced state?
Rather than guessing at the odds of advanced life developing, they calculate the odds against it occurring in order for humanity to be the only advanced civilization.
With that, Frank and Sullivan then calculated the line between a universe where humanity has been the sole experiment in civilization and one where others have come before us.
‘Of course, we have no idea how likely it is that an intelligent technological species will evolve on a given habitable planet,’ says Frank.
‘But using our method we can tell exactly how low that probability would have to be for us to be the only civilization the universe has produced.
‘We call that the pessimism line. If the actual probability is greater than the pessimism line, then a technological species and civilization has likely happened before.’
Using this interesting approach, Frank and Sullivan can now calculate how unlikely advanced life must be if there has never been another example among the universe’s ten billion trillion stars, or even among our own Milky Way galaxy’s hundred billion.
‘One in 10 billion trillion is incredibly small,’ says Frank. ‘To me, this implies that other intelligent, technology producing species very likely have evolved before us.
‘Think of it this way. Before our result you’d be considered a pessimist if you imagined the probability of evolving a civilization on a habitable planet were, say, one in a trillion
‘But even that guess, one chance in a trillion, implies that what has happened here on Earth with humanity has in fact happened about a 10 billion other times over cosmic history.’
For smaller volumes the numbers are less extreme.
For example, another technological species likely has evolved on a habitable planet in our own Milky Way galaxy if the odds against it are better than one chance in 60 billion.
But if those numbers seem to give ammunition to the ‘optimists’ about the existence of alien civilizations,
Sullivan points out that the full Drake equation – which calculates the odds that other civilizations are around today – may give solace to the pessimists.
‘The universe is more than 13 billion years old,’ said Sullivan.
‘That means that even if there have been a thousand civilizations in our own galaxy, if they live only as long as we have been around – roughly ten thousand years – then all of them are likely already extinct.
‘And others won’t evolve until we are long gone. For us to have much chance of success in finding another ‘contemporary’ active technological civilization, on average they must last much longer than our present lifetime.’
‘Given the vast distances between stars and the fixed speed of light we might never really be able to have a conversation with another civilization anyway,’ said Frank.
‘If they were 20,000 light years away then every exchange would take 40,000 years to go back and forth.’
But, as Frank and Sullivan point out, even if there aren’t other civilizations in our galaxy to communicate with now, the new result still has a profound scientific and philosophical importance.
‘From a fundamental perspective the question is ‘has it ever happened anywhere before?” said Frank.
Our result is the first time anyone has been able to set any empirical answer for that question and it is astonishingly likely that we are not the only time and place that an advance civilization has evolved.’
Their new equation includes recent data from Nasa’s Kepler satellite on the number of exoplanets that could harbour life. Pictured is an artist’s impression of the probe
U.I.P SUMMARY
Once upon a time leading Scientists wanted us all to believe that we are alone in the Universe – this has now been proven to be pretty much impossible. The Universe is infested with life out there, and we the Human Race are probably far less developed than many older/wiser advanced Alien species.
You will notice that these Scientists nearly always play down their investigations into Alien life, but we mustn’t be too harsh on them for this as they are scared about disclosing too much after so many leading Scientists have recently been killed off (so it appears).

Eerste complete topografische kaart van Mercurius is een feit!
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Topografisch gezien kent Mercurius nu weinig geheimen meer: alle hoogte- en dieptepunten van de planeet zijn ons nu bekend!
De nieuwe topografische kaart is gebaseerd op gegevens die ruimtesonde MESSENGER heeft verzameld. Eerder brachten onderzoekers al een kaart uit waarop de topografie van het noordelijke deel en het gebied rond de evenaar van Mercurius pronkte. Hoe het zuiden topografisch gezien in elkaar stak, bleef een raadsel. Tot nu.

Hoog en laag Onderzoekers hebben zo’n 100.000 foto’s gebruikt om een topografisch model van geheel Mercurius te maken. Het nieuwe model onthult tal van interessante topografische kenmerken, waaronder het hoogste en diepste punt van Mercurius. Het hoogste punt op de binnenste planeet van ons zonnestelsel ligt zo’n 4,48 kilometer boven de gemiddelde hoogte van het oppervlak. Het laagste punt ligt daar zo’n 5,38 kilometer onder. Het hoogstgelegen punt vinden we net ten zuiden van de evenaar in één van de oudste gebieden die Mercurius rijk is. Het laagste punt vinden we in het Rachmaninoff-basin.
Nabij de noordpool Ook geeft de nieuwe kaart een prachtig beeld van het gebied nabij de noordpool van Mercurius. “MESSENGER heeft eerder ontdekt dat vulkanische activiteit in het verleden dit deel van de planeet met lava heeft ontdekt, op sommige plekken is de laag lava meer dan 1,6 kilometer dik,” vertelt onderzoeker Nancy Chabot. Het is in het verleden lastig gebleken om dit deel van Mercurius goed in beeld te krijgen. De zon staat hier altijd laag aan de horizon, waardoor lange schaduwen over het gebied vallen. En toch is het MESSENGER gelukt om een paar goede foto’s te maken en die leiden tot een prachtig topografisch kaartje (zie hieronder). “Dit is één van mijn favoriete kaarten van Mercurius,” stelt Chabot. “Nu de kaart beschikbaar is, kijk ik ernaar uit dat deze gebruikt wordt om deze epische vulkaanuitbarstingen die het oppervlak van Mercurius vormgaf te onderzoeken.”

Het is alweer een jaar geleden dat de missie van ruimtesonde MESSENGER tot een einde kwam. De sonde boorde zich in het oppervlak van Mercurius. En zo kwam een einde aan een missie die eigenlijk één jaar had moeten duren, maar uiteindelijk vier jaar in beslag nam en een schat aan informatie over Mercurius heeft opgeleverd.
Veel waterijs te vinden op het oppervlak van Pluto's maan Hydra
Veel waterijs te vinden op het oppervlak van Pluto's maan Hydra

Dat blijkt uit nieuwe gegevens van ruimtesonde New Horizons. Het kan verklaren waarom Hydra zoveel licht reflecteert.
We wisten dat Pluto vijf manen telde, maar tot voor kort hadden we – zeker van de kleinere exemplaren – geen flauw idee hoe ze er in detail uit zagen. Ruimtesonde New Horizons heeft daar verandering in gebracht. De sonde scheerde vorig jaar juli langs Pluto en zijn manen en dat heeft prachtige gedetailleerde foto’s opgeleverd. Op die foto’s was onder meer te zien dat maantje Hydra – de maan die het verst van Pluto verwijderd is – bijzonder veel licht reflecteert. En nu weten onderzoekers – wederom dankzij New Horizons – hoe dat komt.
Waterijs Het oppervlak van de maan is voor een groot deel bedekt met vrijwel zuiver waterijs, zo laat NASA weten. Dat blijkt uit gegevens die New Horizons al op 14 juli verzamelde, maar die nu pas op aarde zijn gearriveerd.
Schoon Net als Charon – de grootste maan van Pluto – wordt het oppervlak van Hydra gedomineerd door waterijs. Maar het ijs op Hydra lijkt veel ‘schoner’. Zo is het waterijs op Charon ‘verontreinigd’ door donker materiaal dat zich door de tijd heen op de maan heeft verzameld. Hoe weet Hydra het oppervlak zo schoontjes te houden? Dat is nog onduidelijk. “Misschien wordt het oppervlak van Hydra continu ‘ververst’ door inslagen van kleine meteorieten die verontreinigingen verwijderen,” vertelt onderzoeker Simon Porter. “Dit proces zou op het veel grotere Charon niet effectief zijn, omdat Charons sterke zwaartekracht al het puin dat bij deze inslagen ontstaat, naar zich toe trekt.”
Hoewel het alweer bijna een jaar geleden is dat New Horizons langs Pluto scheerde, zijn nog lang niet alle gegevens die de sonde tijdens en kort na de scheervlucht verzamelde, binnen. Pas dit najaar is de download compleet. Tussen de gegevens waar astronomen nu nog op wachten, bevinden zich onder meer gegevens over de samenstelling van de andere manen van Pluto.
New compositional data from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft reveal a distinct water-ice signature on the surface of Pluto’s outermost moon, Hydra. Pluto’s largest moon Charon measures 752 miles (1,210 kilometers across), while Hydra is approximately 31 miles (50 kilometers) long.

Astronaut Tom Jones during one of his three spacewalks on Space Shuttle mission STS-98 in February 2001 which activated the U.S. Destiny Laboratory, the historic scientific centerpiece of the International Space Station.
Stories have been told for decades about American astronauts who supposedly have seen unexplained aerial phenomena (as Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton prefers to call UFOs).
But how many astronauts have really reported close encounters with objects that could be verified as actual unknowns? Vanishingly few, it turns out.
Veteran NASA astronaut Tom Jones said he wondered about UFOs long before he joined the space agency.
“I used to be a big UFO fan when I was a teenager, thinking that this was the next great frontier of exploration,” Jones said in a recent interview with The Huffington Post. “I dropped that opinion later on, after not seeing the evidence that I was looking for.”
In his Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine column, “Ask the Astronaut,” Jones answered a recent question about whether he or other astronauts had ever seen UFOs from orbit. He wrote:
Astronauts have not seen any evidence of alien life. Reports of unidentified flying objects in images returned from the shuttle or [space] station have turned out to be ice crystals, drifting orbital debris, lightning flashes, or meteors streaking through the dark atmosphere below. So far, our search for extraterrestrial life — and other civilizations in space — has turned up no proof of alien civilizations.
Jones told HuffPost how, during his 1996 space shuttle mission, there were reports that his crew saw UFOs:
I was on the shuttle Columbia — STS-80 — and even made a blog entry, ‘Did UFOs Visit The Shuttle Columbia?’ Because when we came back from that mission in 1996, NASA got several queries from people who were watching the video — NASA TV back then — and said, ‘Hey, we saw spaceships on the shuttle video. What’s NASA got to say about that?’
Public affairs referred them to me because I was one of the crew members, and I looked at the video and I said, ‘Oh, I know what this is — this is just ice crystals floating along beside the ship for the first couple of days of the flight.’ What looked to some people like a spaceship streaking across the star field, was — to us, looking out the windows — a complete non-event. And yet, it was very significant to people who were watching.
Jones flew on four space shuttle missions over 11 years, culminating with STS-98, in February 2001, as seen in the below video. On that mission, he led three spacewalks to install the U.S. Destiny Laboratory — the historic scientific centerpiece for the International Space Station.
Jones said no contemporary astronaut has ever told him of seeing something unexplained or inexplicable. “Certainly, nothing in the way of spaceships,” he added.
“Now, I’m aware that there have been a couple of astronauts in the past who’ve spoken out and said they know from other people that there’s evidence of UFOs and spaceships that have visited the Earth and that the government might be withholding it.
“They all seem to be secondhand, or they seem to be sightings of things that they’ve seen in orbit that, perhaps, they couldn’t explain at the time. And that’s where the story seems to peter out.”
One of those mentioned by Jones was the late Gordon Cooper, an original Mercury astronaut — one of the famous “Right Stuff” space voyagers. In 1975, Cooper told this writer how, in 1951 (before he became an astronaut), he and several other officers at an Air Force base in Germany witnessed groups of circular objects passing over the base.
“A weatherman spotted some strange objects flying at fairly high altitude and before long, the entire fighter group was out peering through binoculars at these groups of objects coming over in very strange patterns. But unlike fighters, they would almost stop in their forward velocity and change 90 degrees in their flight path. We never could get close enough to pin them down, but they were round in shape and very metallic-looking.
“I’d like to point out that most astronauts are very reluctant to even discuss UFOs due to the great numbers of people who have indiscriminately sold fake stories and forged documents abusing their names and reputations without hesitation,” Cooper said.
Jones said it’s important to be cautious about unusual aerial objects.
“Even from people that I respect, like a couple of very early and famous astronauts, I haven’t seen the proof that would satisfy me that there’s really something there,” he said. “And I think it’s far more likely that people who see unexplained things in the sky, there’s no proof that they’re actually intelligently guided or alien spaceships of any kind.
“Until all these people running around with cellphones and video cameras now can really produce something that’s really grabbing, I don’t think that I should change my mind about it.”
What is it ? Natural phenomenon, HAARP?The Apparitions?
Something very strange is going on in recent years in the atmosphere on the planet
Whether it comes to aliens, changes in the earth’s core or CHEMTRAILS, HAARP?
People all around the world take photos of this strange phenomena. Why are they appear and what is the meaning of them? What is going on? Can it affect a human evolution? What do you think about that?
The Universe Has Probably Hosted Many Alien Civilizations: Study
The Universe Has Probably Hosted Many Alien Civilizations: Study

Many other planets throughout the universe probably hosted intelligent life long before Earth did, a new study suggests.
The probability of a civilization developing on a potentially habitable alien planet would have to be less than one in 10 billion trillion — or one part in 10 to the 22nd power — for humanity to be the first technologically advanced species the cosmos has ever known, according to the study.
"To me, this implies that other intelligent, technology-producing species very likely have evolved before us," said lead author Adam Frank, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester in New York. [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Alien Life]
"Think of it this way: Before our result, you’d be considered a pessimist if you imagined the probability of evolving a civilization on a habitable planet was, say, one in a trillion," Frank said in a statement. "But even that guess — one chance in a trillion — implies that what has happened here on Earth with humanity has in fact happened about 10 billion other times over cosmic history."

In 1961, astronomer Frank Drake devised a formula to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations that may exist today in the Milky Way.
Adam Frank and co-author Woodruff Sullivan of the University of Washington were interested in the odds that intelligent aliens have ever existed anywhere in the universe. So they tweaked the famous Drake equation, coming up with an "archaeological version" that doesn't take into account how long alien civilizations may last.
Frank and Sullivan also incorporated observations from NASA's Kepler space telescope and other instruments, which suggest that about 20 percent of all stars host planets in the life-friendly, "habitable zone," where liquid water could exist on a world's surface.
The Search for Intelligent Life Among the Stars: New Strategies
The researchers then calculated the probability that Earth was the universe's first-ever abode for intelligent life, after taking into account the number of stars in the observable universe (about 20 billion trillion, according to a recent estimate).
"From a fundamental perspective, the question is, 'Has it ever happened anywhere before?'" Frank said. "Our result is the first time anyone has been able to set any empirical answer+ for that question, and it is astonishingly likely that we are not the only time and place that an advanced civilization has evolved."
But this doesn't mean that there are lots of intelligent aliens out there, just waiting to be contacted, the researchers stressed.
"The universe is more than 13 billion years old," Sullivan said in the same statement. "That means that even if there have been 1,000 civilizations in our own galaxy, if they live only as long as we have been around — roughly 10,000 years — then all of them are likely already extinct. And others won’t evolve until we are long gone. For us to have much chance of success in finding another 'contemporary' active technological civilization, on average they must last much longer than our present lifetime."
(The 10,000-year figure cited by Sullivan refers to humanity's development of agriculture and other "rudimentary" technologies; mankind has been capable of sending radio waves and other electromagnetic signals out into the cosmos for just a century or so.)
If there’s a volcano, there’s bound to be UFO activity nearby and Mount Etna on the island of Sicily is no exception, with many UFO sightings reported there. Last week, a green cone-shaped UFO was spotted on thermal images entering an active vent of Mount Etna in the pre-dawn hours. Should locals pack their bags and head for the mainland?
Mount Etna is the tallest and most active volcano in Europe, with records and evidence of its eruptions dating back 500,000 years. Its latest period of heightened activity began in 2001.
On October 30th, an unnamed volcano watcher spotted a series of pictures on the Italian National Geology and Vulcanology (INGV) website showing thermal images of a green cone-shaped UFO descending into one of the volcano’s vents from 6:42 am to 6:54 am local time. By 7 am, the UFO was gone. Here’s the sequence (starting with the photo above):
This is only the latest of many UFO sightings at Mount Etna. This orb was seen over the volcano on April 27th, 2013.
This line of orbs appears to have been taken a few days later on May 1st, 2013.
This photo of a black triangle UFO over the volcano was taken on August 13th, 2014.
Those are just some of the more recent UFO sightings over Mount Etna. The one on October 30th is significant because it shows a UFO entering the active volcano. Is it trying to prevent an eruption?
That may not be a good thing, since some eruptions of Mount Etna had favorable consequences for the locals. In 396 BC, an Etna eruption may have stopped the Carthaginians from attacking Syracuse during the Second Sicilian War. In 122 BC, an eruption caused such heavy damage to Catania, the Roman government exempted the city from paying taxes for ten years.
Why did the green UFO enter Mount Etna this time? Is someone planning an invasion of Sicily? Should the locals plan for a tax break? If so, it won’t be long before American politicians copy it and start offering “lava tax breaks” … it’s the ultimate trickle down.
Scientists at Spain’s Valencian Infertility Institute, Spain’s first facility devoted to assisted reproduction, have created human sperm from skin cells. This medical breakthrough may one day lead to the treatment of fertility. About 15% of couples in the world have fertility issues. So far, their only options are donated eggs and sperm, surrogacy or adoption.
Medical Breakthroughs in the Lab
Carlos Simon, scientific director at Valencian along with researchers from Stanford University conducted and published this recent study. Simon says,
What to do when someone who wants to have a child lacks gametes (egg or sperm)? This is the problem we want to address: to be able to create gametes in people who do not have them.
The team was inspired by Nobel prize-winning scientists, Japan’s Shinya Yamanaka and Great Britain’s John Gordon. In 2012, they shared the Nobel for their discovery that adult cells can be transformed back into embryo-like stem cells. Now they wanted to take this research a step further.
The team added a “cocktail of genes” to skin cells, turning them into germ cells in about a month. The germ cells could eventually be developed into sperm or eggs. That was the desired outcome. However, the cells wouldn’t replicate themselves and died off.
Results of the recent scientific study turning skin cells into sperm.
The study states,
The reason for this is intriguing and we hypothesize that it may be due to the fact that cells within the clumps spontaneously enter into a metiotic cell cycle that results in the formation of hysploid cells that cannot be further maintained in vitro.
One reason why the cells failed to mature enough into full-fledged sperm cells may be that they cannot do this in a laboratory but may require that the germ cells be implanted into a living organism in order to develop into sperm. This may be what Chinese researchers announced this year when they had created mice from artificial sperm.
Simon explains,
This is a sperm but it needs a further maturation phase to become a gamete. This is just the beginning.
Other issues to be addressed include the legal constraints put upon such research. Some countries prohibit the creation of artificial embryos.
Simon says,
With the human species we must do much more testing because we are talking about the birth of a child. We are talking about a long process.
The study adds,
The knowledge obtained from this work can be used to create in vitro models to study gamete-related diseases in humans.
Knowledge about aliens might be as dangerous as the aliens themselves.

Imagine that you’ve lived your entire life in a small village deep within a continental wilderness. For centuries this community has been isolated from the rest of the world. One day you go out exploring, skirting the edges of known territory. Suddenly, and against all expectations, you stumble across a signpost embedded in the ground. The script is highly unusual, foreign, but the text is clear enough. It says, simply, “We Are Here.”
The question is: What happens next?
There might be happiness and celebration to mark the end of isolation, or the news might be met with a shrug. But human nature suggests it’s more probable that this discovery triggers a chain of events that lead to utter disaster.
Suddenly your safe haven is threatened by an unknown “them.” Your time-tested principles of governance and social order are put under pressure. Gossip, rumor, and conjecture will gnaw away at your stable home. Barricades and armed forces will be raised at enormous cost, crops and repairs will be forgotten. A community will lurch toward its own collapse. Yet there is little more than a half-realized idea represented by this impersonal signpost, a whispered implication that infects the world with its ambiguity.
This tale is not the opening sequence of a B-grade movie, but an allegorical version of what might, just possibly, happen after we solve one of the oldest scientific and philosophical puzzles—whether or not we have neighbors “out there” in the wilderness of the cosmos.
This September, a team of astronomers noticed that the light from a distant star is flickering in a highly irregular pattern.1 They considered the possibility that comets, debris, and impacts could account for their observations, but each of these explanations...READ MORE
Today, the prospects for finding evidence of life beyond the Earth fall into three well-known categories. First is our exploration of the solar system. Mars is arguably the prime target because it offers a planetary template that, while alien, best parallels certain terrestrial environments—and it is directly accessible. At this very moment we have robotic wheels on Martian regolith and sharp eyes in orbit. More Mars missions are lining up: NASA’s MAVEN should be entering orbit as you read this, as should India’s Mangalyaan craft. And plans are afoot for the InSight seismological probe, Europe’s ExoMars, a Mars 2020 rover, a sample return, as well as the ever-present speculations for sending a human contingent.
But Mars is not the only fruit. The icy moons Enceladus and Europa both exhibit hallmarks of subsurface liquid water. In the case of Europa, a dark ocean with twice the volume of all Earth’s surface oceans conceivably exists in contact with a rocky core—with potential for a deep hydrothermal oasis. Recently discovered geyser-like eruptions into space from both offer hope of a sampling mission to look for signs of life.
In the second category, vastly farther beyond, lie the exoplanets. We now know this population to be enormous—tens of billions of terrestrial-scaled planets ranging from geophysical youth to old age. Some of these worlds could be passable Earth-analogs. The chase is on to measure the atmospheric chemical composition of at least a few of the nearest such worlds, looking for the fingerprints of a biosphere. NASA’s 2018 James Webb Space Telescope and the next-generation of 30-meter diameter Earth-bound astronomical observatories possess the capabilities to make crude measurements of such components.
Third, there is the ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI. Scouring the celestial radio and optical spectrum for structured, artificial signals—this is the highest-risk, highest-reward effort of all. Success would not only mean that life exists somewhere else, but that there is recognizable technological intelligence other than ours in the universe.
As an information-obsessed, intensely social species, we’re particularly vulnerable to memes. And not all memes are innocuous.
But the knowledge being sought from all these efforts could change far more than just our scientific understanding. Like a sign in the wilderness, the potential exists for new information to infect our collective consciousness before we’ve realized what’s happening. It is capable of seeding our minds with ideas that take on their own form of life as competitive agents that question the status quo, seeping into our thoughts and behaviors. In fact we already have a label for these types of self-propagating, evolving packets of information—we call them memes.
In 1976, writing in his book The Selfish Gene, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins proposed the term meme to describe something that spreads within a culture; whether it’s a catchy phrase, chairs with four legs, a style of clothing, or an entire belief system. In this sense a meme is a mutating, replicating piece of human cultural evolution—a viral entity.
As an information-obsessed, intensely social species, we’re particularly vulnerable to memes. And not all memes are innocuous—some become toxic when they meet other established memes. Witness the clash between Western mores and conservative Islam.
What if we discovered that we are surrounded by chemically incompatible aliens, and learned that all that we thought was inevitable and optimal about our biology and evolution is merely a fluke? Such a discovery runs counter to our Copernican ideals and upends any tidy rationalization of the deep connections between life and the fundamental constituents of the cosmos.
Or what if we detected an extraterrestrial signal along the lines of “You Are All Going To Die?” Even if this was a translation error, or a misinterpretation of an alien effort at existential camaraderie, our species could be quickly sent into a tailspin, potentially wrecking our civilization as effectively as any physical weapon.
Shooting memes back and forth across the void is asking for trouble.
A message with a more straightforward intent could have equally ruinous effects. It could be a new scientific insight or technological blueprint sent as an item of interstellar trade or détente, but have a destabilizing effect on Earth’s economy. Or a message could contain a philosophical statement interpreted to have religious meaning, triggering conflict and disorder. Even “Is Anyone Out There?” would be problematic—the decision to answer or not could provoke more than just verbal conflict within our species.
We may also agree to reach out, to our own detriment. If we identify the chemical signatures of a biosphere on a nearby exoplanet there will be temptation to send a focused message—a long-shot effort at communication. In our impatience we have already made such attempts. In 1974, for example, the Arecibo radio observatory beamed a meme-laden message of 1,679 binary digits towards a distant globular star cluster. Its contents included a simple string of numbers, a basic blueprint describing DNA, a cartoon human figure, and the layout of our solar system. We’ve also spent decades blaring out our wideband analog radio and TV transmissions before downsizing to digital. With a real target we might even consider sending a probe, especially if we ever develop the means to traverse interstellar space at a substantial fraction of the speed of light.
But these behaviors are terribly dangerous for us if they prompt a response from our cosmic neighbors, as well as for any intelligent natives of these other worlds. Shooting memes back and forth across the void is asking for trouble.
What are we to do? We still want to know whether we’re alone or not. Scientific curiosity and logic surely demands this for any rational entity. It’s a central piece of the puzzle for trying to understand our own origins and nature, our place in the universe.
The answer may lie in building a planetary firewall, a kind of “meme armor” to shield us from damaging knowledge of extraterrestrial life, while still allowing us to learn about the cosmos. It would be an artificial and autonomous construct that would take over the job of SETI, and even the task of exoplanet-hunting astronomers. By providing an algorithmic or physical barrier to the rest of the universe, it would help sift and control the flow of information—rather like an Internet firewall that defends against viruses by scrutinizing the origin and intent of packets of data.
The armor might involve a unilateral ban of private telescopes or radio antenna with enough sensitivity to chance upon extraterrestrial signposts. It could be equipped with its own automated listening posts and telescopes—spoon-feeding sanitized results to its masters. Careful (and hopefully unhackable) firewall programming would sift and sanitize its sightings. The riskiest data could be stored in case of true existential disaster—when an extraterrestrial meme can do no worse damage than is already in progress—a library of last resort for a species, the ultimate example of “In Case Of Fire, Break Glass.”
We’d build a vast Dyson sphere and live on the inside facing our star, sealed away from the infectious cosmos.
Such armor could also present a camouflaged state to onlookers; blocking attempts to discern the presence or nature of life on Earth, much like the hidden host addresses used behind today’s computer firewalls. Or—in a far more sinister version—it could seek to actively infect other worlds with destructive memes in order to reduce potential threats to Earth.
Just as our highest security computer systems are physically isolated from the net, a more ambitious hardware-based armor could veil the Earth’s view of the universe. A giant high-tech Faraday cage made with pixel-like optical elements to control precisely what electromagnetic radiation gets through—an informational version of the air-filtration and containment of a biohazard lab. More drastic still would be to abandon our meme-vulnerable planet altogether. We’d build a vast Dyson sphere—that staple of futurology and sci-fi—and live on the inside facing our star, sealed away from the infectious cosmos.
These are obviously hugely speculative, if not fanciful ideas. Perhaps our form of intelligence actually has a degree of natural immunity to extraterrestrial meme infection. After all, since grasping the concept that we inhabit one microscopic piece of an immense universe with no physical center, our species has not actually self-destructed—at least not yet. Most importantly, I don’t think we should be dissuaded from seeking out the most fecund places in the cosmos, and we’re unlikely to want to ever shield ourselves from the glory of the celestial skies.

Swansea, Wales’ second largest city, is quite a UFO hotspot, with hundreds of sightings and alien encounters reported over the past 160 years, says Swansea UFO Network, an organization set up last year by two local UFO seekers.
Alleged sightings in and around the city, which is on the southern coast of Wales, range from a man in 1856 who claimed he was abducted by aliens, a jellyfish-like object floating over Langland Bay, a cigar-shaped object floating above a hospital, to a real alien seen in St Thomas.
These are just a few of the many UFO and alien experiences listed by the Swansea UFO Network, which was founded in February 2015 by Emlyn Williams and Steve Drewson.
In January 1978, Jeremy Davies and William Rees said they saw a bright light in the sky, which was pulsating with an incredibly powerful beam of light pointing towards a chemical plant across the bay. (Image: Swansea UFO Network Facebook)
“To educate, stimulate interest and debate, the subject of U.F.O.s and its many offshoots. To this end we hold regular public meetings, at which a varied programme of lectures and debates are presented.”
“Everyone is welcome to attend these meetings which are currently held at the Welcome Inn, Mynyddbach, Swansea at 8pm on the last Tuesday of every month. Weather permitting, we hold regular night Sky-Watches at various venues around the South Wales area.”
The Network has a team of specialists who investigate UFOs and related sightings in the Swansea area, both recent and historic.
In 1856, Ronald Rhys went missing for a week. On his way home from work he said he saw an eerie light that ‘made a whooshing sound’ in a nearby field. He went to have a look, and soon found he was floating. He recalled being physically examined by small, intelligent beings who took blood samples from him. (Image: Swansea UFO Network)
Members of the public are invited to inform its reporting centre of any local UFO sightings or alien contacts and abductions. It says reports can be made in the strictest confidence, if so requested.
“Our first monthly meeting was held in April 2015 at the Welcome Inn in Llangyfelach, Swansea, and was very well attended. Since then we have held monthly meetings and have had guests speakers from the Ufologycommuntity.”
“Many people who attend our meetings have had sightings and experiences to relate, sometimes for the first time, as their fear of ridicule in the past has kept them silent. Many witnesses have contacted us by telephone, email, or Facebook to report sightings.”
Over 350 UFO sightings or alien encounters
The Network’s database, which it says is rapidly growing, currently contains more than 350 cases – they have been sourced from Ministry of Defence reports, books, newspapers and first-hand witness testimony.
When the Network receives a report, either current or historical, its members first determine whether it can be explained by conventional means, including planets, meteors, aircraft, satellites, military activity, the International Space Station, balloons, etc.
In March 1977, Welsh artist John Petts of Llanstephan saw a luminous UFO over Ferryside. He drew a sketch of what he saw. Mr. Petts said: “I was amazed to see that the outline shape was clear and sharp … a clean-cut shape of a weaver’s shuttle, sharply pointed at each end.” (Image: Swansea UFO Network)
Mr. Williams explained:
“The behaviour and physical attributes of the object/s in each case usually tells us quickly what these could be. The cases where a ‘normal’ explanation cannot be applied are of most interest to us, and it seems that our initial geographical area of study has been filled with many ‘unexplained in conventional terms’ sightings.”
“We are currently expanding our study area to cover all of South and West Wales as many sightings of objects travelling across the area could be corroborated by witnesses further east or west.”
Cigar-shaped UFO – Swansea Bay
One night in 2010, at 1am, Paul, who lived in Evans Terrace in a flat, went to see his toddler son who had woken up crying.
He was intrigued by a strange object in the sky. Looking out south-east across the city centre past Kilvey Hill, he saw what looked like a large metallic grey, cigar-shaped object. One end of it was flat while the other was pointed.
The object was moving slowly across the sky on a level course. He tried to measure its distance and estimated that it was floating above Swansea Docks.

It was a clear night, and a full Moon helped illuminate the UFO.
According to the Network:
“He [Paul] said it was big, displayed no lights and there were no windows or other features apparent. As it moved slowly from left to right it passed behind Alexandra House (from his perspective), the large office block at the top of High Street, so wasn’t high in the sky, but perhaps 100 to 200 feet above the sea, and because of Paul’s elevated position due to his flat being on the side of a hill, he was more or less looking across at it rather than upwards.”
The UFO was completely silent during his 5-minute view of it. He waited over five years to report it because he was worried about being ridiculed.
Semi-transparent UFO over Clase, Morriston – April 2016
On 20th April, a man and woman were walking their pet dog in Longview Road, Clase. They took pictures of dark chem trails in the sky when they saw an object fly past, heading southwards.
It was not until later, when they looked at the images, that they realised they had managed to capture the UFO.
This semi-transparent UFO was photographed by a couple while they walked their dog in Clase, Morriston. (Image: Swansea UFO Network Facebook)
They said the mysterious floating object made no sound.
As you can see in the photograph, the object appears to be transparent. Some UFO seekers wonder whether it may have partly materialized, i.e. it was coming into our dimension from another one, or its cloaking device was not fully switched on.
Swansea UFO Network has not yet interviewed the couple, but intend to do so soon.
The Ghost Rockets documentary is a personal portrait of the members of UFO-Sweden and their ongoing attempts to solve one of Scandinavia's biggest UFO Mysteries.
Every year, the organization UFO-Sweden receives numerous reports about inexplicable occurrences - usually dismissed as having to do with the moon,airplanes, satellites or mental instability on the part of the witness.
Sometimes, though, they get a report that they are unable to explain, one of them being the story of the ghost rockets of 1946.
Under the leadership of journalist Clas Svahn, the organisation starts a costly expedition trying to find the strange craft.
It’s thrilling premise notwithstanding, Ghost rockets is not primarily a film about UFOs. It is a film about enthusiasts with a fervent interest, about an organisation struggling with their finances and shrinking membership numbers, about annual meetings over coffee and pastry, about existential issues debated in the summer night and about our need to believe that the world is bigger than we think.

The Directors
Kerstin Übelacker has worked as head of the documentary screening network Doc Lounge with venues across 14 cities in 4 different countries.
Kerstin has freelanced as a transmedia producer and has aMasters in Film at Gothenburg University. She is currently working as a producer at Momento Film in Stockholm.
Michael Cavanagh has studied film and television at QSFTand RMIT in Australia.
Michael and Kerstin have previously completed the documentary The Leftovers (38 min), screened on film festivals and broadcasted on SVT and YLE. As well as making films, Michael works as a colorist, currently at Way Creative in Malmö, Sweden.
In 1946, Sweden's skies were haunted by the Ghost Rockets, puzzling both the military and the Swedish public alike.
Recently the Swedish National Archives released the documents surrounding the investigation and made them available to the public for the first time. As part of theGhost Rockets project, we have scanned all these documents and built an online investigation platform so that a potentially global UFO research team can access them.
With today's technology, UFO enthusiasts from all over the world can help out by searching through these documents and, perhaps, find something inside these Ghost Rocket UFO reports, a clue, a pattern, something that the Swedish military may have missed way back in the 1940s & 50s.
Access to film A private link of the finished film can be provided ahead of intended release for review purposes upon request.
Interviews Clas Svahn, head of UFO-Sweden and the main character of the documentary along with the filmmakers Michael Cavanagh and Kerstin Übelacker are available for interviews on all medias, Podcast, Web TV and Press.

Mercury Transit the Sun Right Now, May 9, 2016, UFO Sightings Daily.
Lower screenshot has light added to see Mercury better.
Date of sighting: May 9, 2016 Location of sighting: Earths Sun Method used: http://helioviewer.org/?movieId=2wgX5 I recorded Mercury moving between Earth and our sun today. It was an accident. I was looking for UFOs and there it was, a big black dot. Kinda amazing how its so close to the sun and still remains so dark. I thought it would light up its surface more along its edges, but it gave us nothing. Still, its a beautiful sight. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Cambridge Makes World's Smallest Engine, And It's Tiny Enough to Enter Cells
Cambridge Makes World's Smallest Engine, And It's Tiny Enough to Enter Cells

IN BRIEF
Researchers have designed a minuscule engine out of gold nanoparticles; it uses “Van der Waals energy” to power a tiny motor that may be the answer to building functional machines at the nanoscale.
TINY ENGINES
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have just devised a tiny engine—a really tiny engine—that will likely play a key role in realizing the long-awaited dream of truly functional nanotechnology.
Such technology has long been in the offing, and has been much touted for its enormous potential—imagine tiny machines or cellular analogues roaming the bloodstream (à laFantastic Voyage) and zapping cancerous cells, coming to grips with foreign bacteria and viruses, correcting prion diseases, and rejiggering the genomes of patients suffering from genetic disorders.
Imagine, too, what effects such technology could have on materials science, computing, optics…well, the possibilities are virtually endless, so you can pretty well guess that it has the capacity to change the world.
But scientists have had to start with baby steps, because manipulating matter on the nanoscale is notoriously difficult. One major hurdle has been how to supply power to such fantastically minute devices—and the newly discovered engine may be the solution to this problem.
THE GOLD-SEEKERS
The prototype engine does not resemble a classic one: It consists of a jumble of charged gold nanoparticles, clustered together in a “smart” gel of temperature-sensitive polymers. The actual power principle behind the engine is quite simple—no more complicated than the principles powering a slingshot. When the polymerous bundle is heated by a laser, the polymer gel expels water from the mass, which collapses, storing significant quantities of elastic energy.
When the bundle shrinks, the gold nanoparticles are bunched together very tightly, but once the polymers cool, they suck up the expelled water and rapidly expand, causing the gold particles to quickly spring apart and releasing the elastic energy.
And there you have it: A simple, but very effective, nanoscale engine. It’s an ingenious use of fundamental forces operating at this tiny scale, and its practical application would probably involve something like a light-powered piston engine.
Lead researcher professor Jeremy Baumberg, of the Cavendish Laboratory, says, “The whole process is like a nano-spring. The smart part here is we make use of Van der Waals attractionof heavy metal particles to set the springs (polymers) and water molecules to release them, which is very reversible and reproducible.”
These littlest motors also produce forces several orders of magnitude greater than previous devices, besting the force per unit weight of other motors and muscles by nearly a hundredfold. The team has christened the devices “ANTs”— “actuating nano-transducers,” which is very apt, considering that tiny insect’s notorious propensity to do heavy lifting all out of proportion to its size.
The team asserts that the little machines will be cheap to manufacture, are very energy efficient, and could be inserted in biological systems with no threat. The next phase is to collaborate with several companies to commercialize the technology.

Tripje naar Mars duurt dankzij nieuwe aandrijving nog maar 30 minuten
Tripje naar Mars duurt dankzij nieuwe aandrijving nog maar 30 minuten
Caroline Kraaijvanger
In dertig minuten naar Mars. Het klinkt te mooi om waar te zijn. Maar wetenschappers achten het mogelijk. En wel met een nieuwe aandrijving waar momenteel hard aan wordt gewerkt.
Als mensheid hebben we de afgelopen decennia – want zolang doen we nog niet aan ruimtevaart tenslotte – best wat gepresteerd. Er rijden robots rond op Mars, mensen bezochten de maan, er draait een ruimtesonde rond komeet 67P/C-G en zo kunnen we nog wel een tijdje doorgaan. Maar als we puur kijken naar de afstanden die de mensheid heeft afgelegd, hebben we het helemaal niet zo ver geschopt. Volgens de laatste berichten zijn we er nog niet eens in geslaagd om ons eigen zonnestelsel te verlaten: hoewel ruimtesonde Voyager 1 al meer dan 45 jaar onderweg is, zou deze zich nog altijd niet in de interstellaire ruimte bevinden.
Grote afstanden Het verlangen om veel grotere afstanden af te leggen en veel verder gelegen bestemmingen te verkennen, is er. Maar de technologie om daar snel te komen, ontbreekt. Het heelal is groot en uitgestrekt. Om daar een goed beeld van te krijgen: een enkele reis naar Mars duurt met de huidige technologie al snel zo’n 250 dagen. En een reis naar de dichtstbijzijnde ster – die zo’n 4,2 lichtjaar van ons verwijderd is – zou met de huidige technologie duizenden jaren duren.
“TIEN JAAR GELEDEN WAS WAT WIJ VOORSTELLEN NOG PURE FANTASIE”
Bijna net zo snel als het licht Het moge duidelijk zijn: als we ooit werkelijk het heelal willen gaan verkennen, zullen we met een nieuwe aandrijving moeten komen die ons in staat stelt om in korte tijd heel grote afstanden af te leggen. Bij voorkeur een aandrijving die het mogelijk maakt om te reizen met een snelheid die enigszins in de buurt komt van de snelheid van het licht (sneller reizen dan het licht is volgens de speciale relativiteitstheorie sowieso onmogelijk). Het klinkt als sciencefiction. Maar dat is het dankzij een aantal nieuwe ontwikkelingen niet langer. De technologie om te reizen met een snelheid die ongeveer drie keer kleiner is dan de snelheid van het licht is reeds aanwezig en kan de ruimtevaart op z’n kop gaan zetten, zo stellen wetenschappers. “Tien jaar geleden was wat wij voorstellen nog pure fantasie,” zo schrijft Philip Lubin, verbonden aan de University of California, Santa Barbara in dit paper. “Het is niet langer fantasie.”

Zeilen en lasers Waar heeft hij het over? Over een aandrijving die mede mogelijk gemaakt wordt door licht, afkomstig van lasers. Hij duidt de aanpak aan als ‘photonic propulsion‘. Een ruimtevaartuig dat op deze manier wordt aangedreven, zal uitgerust worden met grote zeilen. Lasers vuren vervolgens – vanuit een baan rond de aarde – fotonen (lichtdeeltjes) op deze zeilen af. Deze lichtdeeltjes hebben geen massa, maar wel energie en impuls. Wanneer de lichtdeeltjes door het zeil gereflecteerd worden, staan ze een kleine hoeveelheid kinetische energie af. Het mooie aan de ruimte is dat het ruimtevaartuig helemaal geen weerstand ondervindt en als lichtdeeltjes het blijven trakteren op kinetische energie, kan het ruimtevaartuig heel geleidelijk uiteindelijk een snelheid bereiken die ongeveer net zo groot is als een derde van de snelheid van het licht.
Dertig minuten In theorie zou een klein ruimtevaartuig (dat ongeveer 100 kilo weegt) met behulp van deze aandrijving in drie dagen op Mars kunnen arriveren. In theorie kan elk ruimtevaartuig – ongeacht de massa – op deze manier worden aangedreven. Maar hoe groter (en zwaarder) een ruimtevaartuig is, hoe langer de reis duurt. In eerste instantie ziet Lubin – met het oog op interstellaire missies – dan ook het meest in wat kleinere ruimtevaartuigjes. Als het systeem helemaal doorontwikkeld is en de lasers maximaal kunnen worden benut, kunnen piepkleine ruimtevaartuigjes het absurd ver schoppen. “Een wafeldun ruimtevaartuig met een 1 meter groot zeil kan in 10 minuten tijd 26 procent van de snelheid van het licht bereiken, Mars in 30 minuten bereiken, Voyager 1 in minder dan drie dagen passeren (…) en Alpha Centauri in zo’n twintig jaar bereiken.”
Waar zit de rem? Overigens is deze aandrijving niet zo geschikt om een ruimtevaartuig in een baan rond bijvoorbeeld de dichtstbijzijnde ster te brengen. Er is namelijk één probleem: het ruimtevaartuig kan heel moeilijk tot stilstand worden gebracht. In eerste instantie zullen ruimtevaartuigen die op deze manier worden aangedreven dan ook enkel langs objecten in de ruimte kunnen scheren. Maar goed, dat mag de pret niet drukken. New Horizons scheerde ook alleen maar langs Pluto en kijk wat dat opgeleverd heeft!
Hoewel de technologie volgens Lubin voorhanden is, moet er nog wel wat werk verzet worden alvorens de eerste ruimtevaartuigen met behulp van lichtdeeltjes de interstellaire ruimte gaan verkennen. Maar Lubin lijkt vastberaden deze vorm van aandrijving werkelijkheid te laten worden. En ook NASA ziet wel iets in het idee. De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie gaf Lubin vorig jaar een beurs om nader onderzoek te doen. Zou het dan zomaar het begin zijn van een nieuw tijdperk in de ruimtevaart? Een tijdperk waarin we kleine ruimtevaartuigjes naar de hoeken van ons zonnestelsel en misschien zelfs wel naar plekken daarbuiten sturen? Als het aan Lubin ligt wel. “Het is tijd om te beginnen aan deze onvermijdelijke reis ver van huis.”

It's unclear whether Planet Nine exists, but astronomers are already digging into the mystery of the hypothetical world's birth.
In January, Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena announced that they had inferred the existence of Planet Nine based on the strange orbits of a half dozen small bodies in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.
Planet Nine, Batygin and Brown suggested, is perhaps 10 times more massive than Earth and orbits the sun at an average distance of about 700 astronomical units (AU). (One AU is the Earth-sun distance — 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.) [The Evidence for Planet Nine in Pictures]
Some astronomers are now scanning the sky in an attempt to find the putative planet, while others are tackling another mystery: How did Planet Nine come to be?
There are a number of possible origin stories, researchers say. For example, Planet Nine may be a former exoplanet that was captured by our solar system's gravity.
This scenario appears to be far-fetched, however. Gongjie Li and Fred Adams, both of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, performed computer simulations to estimate the odds that Planet Nine was plucked from a passing star system or nabbed as a formerly free-floating "rogue planet." In both cases, the odds are less than 2 percent, the researchers report in a new study.
NASA Officially Cautious About 'Planet Nine' | Video
So it's likely that Planet Nine is native to our solar system. But did it form in its present location, or begin life much closer to the sun and then get booted into the outer solar system by a gravitational interaction of some kind?
Both scenarios are possible, Scott Kenyon, of the CfA, and Benjamin Bromley, of the University of Utah, report in two new studies of their own, which are also based on computer modeling work.
Given the right initial conditions, Planet Nine could have coalesced near where it's now thought to lie within 1 billion to 2 billion years of the solar system's birth, Kenyon and Bromley found. But their simulations also give credence to the idea that interactions with Jupiter and Saturn kicked Planet Nine out from a formerly tighter orbit.
"Think of it like pushing a kid on a swing: If you give them a shove at the right time, over and over, they'll go higher and higher," Kenyon said in a statement, adding that this scenario is "the simplest solution."
The gravitational boot, if it occurred, didn't have to come from a fellow planet. In their paper, Li and Adams also considered the possibility that Planet Nine was tugged outward by one of the sun's stellar neighbors. But their simulations pegged the probability of this scenario at 10 percent at best, suggesting that, in most cases, a passing star would have kicked Planet Nine out of our solar system completely.
So the fog of mystery surrounding Planet Nine remains thick. But that fog could clear someday, provided that this mysterious world actually exists — and astronomers are able to get a decent look at it.
"The nice thing about these scenarios is that they're observationally testable," Kenyon said. "A scattered gas giant will look like a cold Neptune, while a planet that formed in place will resemble a giant Pluto with no gas."
The study by Li and Adams has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. Kenyon and Bromley have submitted their two papers to The Astrophysical Journal.
In a rare event that only happens about 13 times a century, Mercury will be crossing in front of the sun this morning, leaving a tiny black spot in front of the sun. The last time this happened was in 2006. Because of Mercury’s small size, you’ll need a special telescope or very high-powered binoculars with solar filters to see the event. You never want to look directly into the sun without special eyewear, so any telescope or binoculars you use will need special-coated glass or Mylar to protect against the sun. But with all the livestreams of the event available, you won’t even need to leave your computer if you don’t want to.
Here’s what you need to know.
When the Mercury Transit Will Occur
Mercury’s transit across the sun will begin just after 7 a.m. Eastern on Monday morning. The tiny planet will reach about midway across the sun around 10:47 a.m. Eastern and it will finish its transit around 2:47 p.m. Eastern, according to Space.com. The Eastern United States will be able to see Mercury for the entire 7+ hours. The western U.S. will be able to see the transit after sunrise, although it will already be underway at that time.
The livestream embedded at the top of this story is from Slooh.com and starts at 7 a.m. Eastern.Slooh is partnering with observatories around the world, including Dubai and the Canary Islands, to provide the best views on its livestream.
Here’s a look at where Mercury will be and at what time:

Are we alone in the universe? This is a question that every enthusiast scientific poses himself and fails to respond. The reply to this question have taken great minds, and his answer (as well as the history of the Universe) have occupied philosophers since ancient times.
However, in response to the famous “Where is everybody?” Question Enrico Fermi still do not have. We have only guesses, calculations of odds and assumptions. Around them engaged and scientists Adam Frank and Woodruff Sullivan, from the University of Rochester, who using and Exchanging the famous Drejkova equation came to the realization that life to our present level of civilization progress probably already existed somewhere in space and probably disappeared or is so far we will never be able to communicate the.
They calculated the odds on what were / are the chances of people with this unique civilization, and it turns out that they are quite conservative: less than one in 10 billion trilliards. According to them it means life to our level of development occurred at least 10 billion times throughout cosmic history (according to the estimated number of stars and planets in the universe)!
Ten billion civilizations ?! Well, where are they? It still we can not answer this, but given the size of the universe and duration (14 billion years) is not unusual to have hundreds of advanced civilizations that are so far away that no longer able to send a communication to us and billions of others to have occurred ever in the history and in the meantime disappeared.
It would be a great lesson for humanity. Namely, if we allow to perish because of the inability to keep in life and not to kill each other, human induced disasters, it would be really big tragedy of life in the universe generally.
UNTIL THIS TEXT, WHAT DO YOU THINK, ARE WE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE?
Why does the human species have so many different blood types and Rh values when we supposedly came from 'Adam and Eve'? The biblical story of evolution no longer works as a viable explanation for evolution. Now what? Was our species genetically manipulated or were we seeded here from other star systems by aliens or, more likely, our galactic star families?
The blood of the 'gods'
Are you an Rh Negative blood type? If so you could be a decendent of theancient astronautsthemselves!
About a year and a half ago my sister Bonnie and I were discussing some of the unusual characteristics of our family. Bonnie had a problem with infants haemolytic disease. She has 0 negative blood. She has written a book including this problem called "The Deux" by Venus Thaddeus.
One of the questions we asked was why does this haemolytic disease occur? Why, along with the Rh negative blood does our family have such a high IQ (135-140 average). Why so many psychic experiences? Why this urge to ask "why?" Why the early maturity or the large head and eyes? Why have we always felt we were "different" from other people? And so many other things to set us apart.
We were raised in the church, but we never received answers to the questions we asked. Why doesn't anyone else ask these same questions? We are not satisfied with the answer "just because". Are there others out there who ask the same questions? Then we heard about the possibility of the ancient astronauts and the pieces started to fall into place.
For the past decade many people have been working to prove that the earth has been visited by extraterrestrial beings.
Who are these visitors? Why did they come? Why did they leave? Did they leave?
If earth was visited in the ancient past, are there any descendants of these visitors? If all mankind are not descendants of these visitors, which ones are? Who are the "Children of Israel?" Why was their seed blessed?
Why were they told not to inter-marry with other people and to circumcise their sons for identification? Why were they told to preserve their geneology? Where did Adam and Eve's sons go to get their wives, if they were the only "humans" on earth?
Many scientists believe that modern man evolved from ape-like primates. They have much proof to back up their theories, including modern blood analysis and comparative studies between modern man and lower anthripoids, such as the chimpanzee and the Rhesus monkey.
It has been proven that the majority of mankind (85%) has a blood factor common with the rhesus monkey. This is called rhesus positive blood. Usually shortened to Rh positive. This factor is completely independent from the A, B, 0 blood types.
In the study of genetics, we find that we can only inherit what our ancestors had except in the case of mutation. We can have any of numerous combinations of traits inherited from all our ancestors. Nothing more and nothing less.
Therefore, if man and ape evolved from a common ancestor, their blood would have evolved the same way. Blood factors are transmitted with much more exactitude than any other characteristic. It would seem that modern man and rhesus monkey may have had a common ancestor sometime in the ancient past.
All other earthly primates also have this Rh factor. But this leaves out the people who are Rh negative. If all mankind evolved from the same ancestor their blood would be compatible. Where did the Rh negatives come from? If they are not the descendants of prehistoric man, could they be the descendants of the ancient astronauts?
All animals and other living creatures known to man can breed with any other of their species. Relative size and color makes no difference. Why does infant's haemolytic disease occur in humans if all humans are the same species?
Haemolytic disease is the allergic reaction that occurs when an Rh negative mother is carrying a Rh positive child. Her blood builds up antibodies to destroy an ALIEN substance (the same way it would a virus), thereby destroying the infant.
Why would a mother's body reject her own offspring?
Nowhere else in nature does this occur naturally. This same problem does occur in mules - a cross between a horse and donkey. This fact alone points to the distinct possibility of a cross-breeding between two similar but genetically different species.
No one has tried to explain where the Rh negative people came from. Most, familiar with blood factors, admit that these people must at least be a mutation if not descendants of a different ancestor.
If we are a mutation, what caused the mutation? Why does it continue with the exact characteristics? Why does it so violently reject the Rh factor, if it was in their own ancestry? Who was this ancestor?
Difficulties in determining ethnology are largely overcome by the use of blood group data, for they are a single gene characteristic and not affected by the environment.
The Basque people of Spain and France have the highest percentage of Rh negative blood. About 30% have (rr) Rh negative and about 60% carry one (r) negative gene.
The average among most people is only 157%-Rh negative, while some groups have very little. The Oriental Jews of Israel, also have a high percent Rh negative, although most other Oriental people have only about 1% Rh negative.
The Samaritans and the Black Cochin Jew also have a high percentage of Rh negative blood, although again the Rh negative blood is rare among most black people.
Could the Basque people be one of these colonies? Or could it have been the original colony on earth? The origin of the Basques is unknown. Their language is unlike any other European language.
Some believe that Basque was the original language of the book of Genesis. Some believe it was the original language of the world and possibly of the creator.
Genesis 6:2 "The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and took them wives, all of which they chose." Who were the children of these marriages? Genesis 6:4 "God came into the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, and the same became mighty of old."
From the King James Bible dictionary we find: "menchildren - men of Israel, male children of God, not children of man - Ex. 34:23."
Ex. 34:7 states "The iniquity of the father will be unto the children unto the fourth generation."
It is plain that something is inherited, could it be the blood?
Blood is mentioned more often than any other word in the Bible, except God. These two words you will find on almost every page, blood and God! (The blood of the Gods?) This message has been written for thousands of years. There is a connection between the blood and the Gods.
The American Indians had the tradition of making good friends, "blood brothers", if they thought they were worthy. Could this tradition have been for a reason? Could they have actually been checking to see if they were blood brothers (the same type blood)?
The clumping (aggulation) that occurs when Rh positive and Rh negative blood are mixed is visible to the naked eye.
Could they have been told, by their ancestors, that their blood was different from that of the rest of mankind except for their brothers and sisters, from other tribes, scattered throughout the earth. Indian tradition declares that their ancestors were of cosmic origin. The Indian totem pole is actually a family genealogy.
Why all this preoccupation with genealogy among different people scattered throughout the earth? No other animal on earth has this preoccupation with ancestry. Where did this tradition come from?
People scattered throughout the earth, who have had no-known contact with each other all simultaneously got the urge to chart their family tree. Why?
How important could this have been to primitive cave men? Struggling to survive, to chart their genealogy? They had no understanding of modern genetics and inheritance. So why should they preserve their genealogy?
Were they told, by the ancient astronauts, to preserve their heritage, until a future date when they would return and it would be understood? Until a time, like now, when their descendent would be able to understand the message they were leaving.
Although they probably didn't realize the importance of preserving their genealogy, they were told that future generations would understand. Are we that future generation? Was there a message left for us to understand? Do we have the courage to look for the answer?
Do we really want to know or would we rather keep our heads buried in the sand? What we don't know will still affect us. You will not see unless you look. Only through knowledge will we find truth.
I have searched, in vain, for scientific proof that the Rh negative blood was a natural earthly occurrence. Instead I have found proof that the Rh negative had not evolved on earth in the natural course of events.
For many years people have been searching for the wrong thing. Could the true "missing link" actually be man himself? The unknown link between earth and the stars - hybrid man.
Man may be the missing link between primate and extraterrestrial. It seems inconceivable to me that those working on the evolution theory have overlooked this possibility.
How can they state, that these people are lacking a factor contained in all other earthly primates, including the naked ape, and not ask why? What other characteristics are common among these people that are uncommon to other people? Is there a real difference other than just a different blood?
He has documented many of the characteristics we may have received from our cosmic ancestors. It does show quite conclusively that mankind is a hybrid between our cosmic ancestor and our earth ancestor.
I have merely carried this idea to its logical conclusion. If mankind is a hybrid descendant of the ancient' astronauts, surely there would be some, appearing periodically, who would be genetically very similar to them. Would this not include their psychic powers? Could the great sleeping prophet,Edgar Cayce, have been one of these? Could Jesus Christ also have been one of these?
A true descendant of the ancient astronauts. If he was a true genetic duplicate of them he would also have their powers and possibly their knowledge. I cannot say whether he was born with this knowledge or whether he established psychic communication with our cosmic family, but it is plain that he had powers far beyond those of mortal man. Could he have been an example of what the ancient astronauts were like? Jesus stated that the Father and him were one. Could he have actually meant that literally?
He may have been an exact duplicate of his (our) ancient Father. He may have even been a clone of the cosmonauts. Everyone knows the story of his virgin birth and the heavenly intervention. Could this have been implanting a clone into Mary's sterilized egg? Could the whole egg have actually been an implant?
The Rh negative blood, which appears not to have originated on earth, may prove to be a major factor in proving mankind is a hybrid. It is not the whole answer but it is a key for unlocking the genetic puzzle of our heritage.
Why were these mummies preserved well enough for us to analyze their blood and tissue factors? Could there be a message in the genetic factors of the mummies themselves?
There is an interesting fact found in the book "X-Raying the Pharaohs" by James Harris and Kent Weeks, 1973 (Scribners). Upon x-raying the tomb of Makare, high priestess of Ammon, it was found that the infant buried with her labeled Prince Moutenihet was actually a female hamadryas baboon.
An examination of Makare showed she had given birth shortly before dying. Could she have given birth to the baboon found with her? Why else would it have been buried with her? A genetic throwback?
My research has shown that the majority of those with psychic powers also have Rh negative blood. Most psychic and faith healers also have this blood. Strangely enough, many of those doing research into the ancient astronaut theory and other phenomena also have Rh negative blood.
Erich von Daniken has Rh negative blood and a thirst for the truth. Brad Steiger also has Rh negative blood. His new book "Gods of Aquarius" considers this possibility. Robert Antone Wilson, author of "Illuminus", also has this blood. There are many others, too numerous to list here.
Why is there such a large percentage of negative in these unusual fields? Could we have a vague memory of what we are looking for? It has been said that a question is not asked until the answer is known.
There are about 5,000 known blood factors and all of these must contribute to the complete picture. But the Rh negative blood is the place to start our search.
A comparative analysis is now being done and we need your help. If you are reading this, you must be one of the lost children of Israel. Anyone else would not have read this far.
Tiener ontdekt dat de locaties van meer dan 100 Mayasteden verband houden met sterrenbeelden
Tiener ontdekt dat de locaties van meer dan 100 Mayasteden verband houden met sterrenbeelden
Een 15-jarige jongen uit Quebec heeft met behulp van satellietbeelden, astronomische kennis van de Maya’s en zijn eigen intuïtie een aantal mysteries rond de locaties van Mayasteden ontrafeld. Zo heeft hij onder meer een compleet nieuwe stad ontdekt. Het zou gaan om één van de vijf grootste Mayasteden ooit gevonden. Dat schrijft het Canadese dagblad Le Journal de Montréal. Veel mensen zijn onder de indruk.
William Gadoury deed onderzoek naar sterrenbeelden en besloot een kaart van een sterrenbeeld over de kaart van het schiereiland Yucatán te trekken. Hij kwam tot de ontdekking dat de locaties van bekende steden zoals Chichén Itzá en Uxmal overeenkomen met sterren van sterrenbeelden die hij in de Maya Madrid Codex, een belangrijk Maya-boek, heeft gevonden.
Ontbrak
Na jarenlang onderzoek stelde hij vast dat 147 sterren van 22 Maya-sterrenbeelden overeenkomen met de locaties van 117 Mayasteden. De helderste sterren zijn de grootste steden. Geen wetenschapper heeft ooit een correlatie gevonden tussen de sterren en de locaties van Mayasteden.
Gadoury merkte op dat de derde ster van het 23e sterrenbeeld dat hij bestudeerde ontbrak. Hij bekeek satellietbeelden van ruimtevaartagentschappen zoals de NASA en JAXA (Japan) en Google Earth en ontdekte een derde stad op de plek waar de derde ster van het sterrenbeeld stond.
86 meter hoge piramide
De tiener heeft deze 118e stad K’aak Chi of Vuurmond genoemd. In de verloren stad, die grenst aan Belize, bevindt zich een piramide die maar liefst 86 meter hoog is. De satellietfoto’s tonen nog tenminste 30 andere bouwwerken. De methode die William heeft gebruikt kan ook worden toegepast bij de Azteken, Inca’s en Indusbeschaving.
“Er zijn geometrische vormen te zien zoals vierkanten en rechthoeken, vormen die niet gemakkelijk kunnen worden geassocieerd met natuurlijke fenomenen,” zei dr. Armand LaRocque van de University of New Brunswick.
Spooky Quantum Action Might Hold the Universe Together
Spooky Quantum Action Might Hold the Universe Together
Click to Open Overlay GalleryTensor networks could connect space-time froth to quantum information. HANNES HUMMEL FOR QUANTA MAGAZINE
Brian Swingle was a graduate student studying the physics of matter at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he decided to take a few classes in string theory to round out his education—“because, why not?” he recalled—although he initially paid little heed to the concepts he encountered in those classes. But as he delved deeper, he began to see unexpected similarities between his own work, in which he used so-called tensor networks to predict the properties of exotic materials, and string theory’s approach to black-hole physics and quantum gravity. “I realized there was something profound going on,” he said.
Tensors crop up all over physics—they’re simply mathematical objects that can represent multiple numbers at the same time. For example, a velocity vector is a simple tensor: It captures values for both the speed and the direction of motion. More complicated tensors, linked together into networks, can be used to simplify calculations for complex systems made of many different interacting parts—including the intricate interactions of the vast numbers of subatomic particles that make up matter.
Swingle is one of a growing number of physicists who see the value in adapting tensor networks to cosmology. Among other benefits, it could help resolve an ongoing debate about the nature of space-time itself. According toJohn Preskill, the Richard P. Feynman professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, many physicists have suspected a deep connection between quantum entanglement—the “spooky action at a distance” that so vexed Albert Einstein—and space-time geometry at the smallest scales since the physicist John Wheeler first described the latter as a bubbly, frothy foam six decades ago. “If you probe geometry at scales comparable to the Planck scale” — the shortest possible distance—“it looks less and less like space-time,” said Preskill. “It’s not really geometry anymore. It’s something else, an emergent thing [that arises] from something more fundamental.”
Physicists continue to wrestle with the knotty problem of what this more fundamental picture might be, but they strongly suspect that it is related to quantum information. “When we talk about information being encoded, [we mean that] we can split a system into parts, and there is some correlation among the parts so I can learn something about one part by observing another part,” said Preskill. This is the essence of entanglement.
It is common to speak of a “fabric” of space-time, a metaphor that evokes the concept of weaving individual threads together to form a smooth, continuous whole. That thread is fundamentally quantum. “Entanglement is the fabric of space-time,” said Swingle, who is now a researcher at Stanford University. “It’s the thread that binds the system together, that makes the collective properties different from the individual properties. But to really see the interesting collective behavior, you need to understand how that entanglement is distributed.”
Tensor networks provide a mathematical tool capable of doing just that. In this view, space-time arises out of a series of interlinked nodes in a complex network, with individual morsels of quantum information fitted together like Legos. Entanglement is the glue that holds the network together. If we want to understand space-time, we must first think geometrically about entanglement, since that is how information is encoded between the immense number of interacting nodes in the system.
Many Bodies, One Network
It is no easy feat to model a complex quantum system; even doing so for a classical system with more than two interacting parts poses a challenge. When Isaac Newton published his Principia in 1687, one of the many topics he examined became known as the “three-body problem.” It is a relatively simple matter to calculate the movement of two objects, such as the Earth and the sun, taking into account the effects of their mutual gravitational attraction. However, adding a third body, like the moon, turns a relatively straightforward problem with an exact solution into one that is inherently chaotic, where long-term predictions require powerful computers to simulate an approximation of the system’s evolution. In general, the more objects in the system, the more difficult the calculation, and that difficulty increases linearly, or nearly so—at least in classical physics.
Now imagine a quantum system with many billions of atoms, all of which interact with each other according to complicated quantum equations. At that scale, the difficulty appears to increase exponentially with the number of particles in the system, so a brute-force approach to calculation just won’t work.
Consider a lump of gold. It is comprised of many billions of atoms, all of which interact with one another. From those interactions emerge the various classical properties of the metal, such as color, strength or conductivity. “Atoms are tiny little quantum mechanical things, and you put atoms together and new and wonderful things happen,” said Swingle. But at this scale, the rules of quantum mechanics apply. Physicists need to precisely calculate the wave function of that lump of gold, which describes the state of the system. And that wave function is a many-headed hydra of exponential complexity.
Even if your lump of gold has just 100 atoms, each with a quantum “spin” that can be either up or down, the total number of possible states totals 2100, or a million trillion trillion. With every added atom the problem grows exponentially worse. (And worse still if you care to describe anything in addition to the atomic spins, which any realistic model would.) “If you take the entire visible universe and fill it up with our best storage material, the best hard drive money can buy, you could only store the state of about 300 spins,” said Swingle. “So this information is there, but it’s not all physical. No one has ever measured all these numbers.”
Tensor networks enable physicists to compress all the information contained within the wave function and focus on just those properties physicists can measure in experiments: how much a given material bends light, for example, or how much it absorbs sound, or how well it conducts electricity. A tensor is a “black box” of sorts that takes in one collection of numbers and spits out a different one. So it is possible to plug in a simple wave function — such as that of many non-interacting electrons, each in its lowest-energy state — and run tensors upon the system over and over, until the process produces a wave function for a large, complicated system, like the billions of interacting atoms in a lump of gold. The result is a straightforward diagram that represents this complicated lump of gold, an innovation much like the development of Feynman diagrams in the mid-20th century, which simplified how physicists represent particle interactions. A tensor network has a geometry, just like space-time.
The key to achieving this simplification is a principle called “locality.” Any given electron only interacts with its nearest neighboring electrons. Entangling each of many electrons with its neighbors produces a series of “nodes” in the network. Those nodes are the tensors, and entanglement links them together. All those interconnected nodes make up the network. A complex calculation thus becomes easier to visualize. Sometimes it even reduces to a much simpler counting problem.
There are many different types of tensor networks, but among the most useful is the one known by the acronym MERA (multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz). Here’s how it works in principle: Imagine a one-dimensional line of electrons. Replace the eight individual electrons — designated A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H — with fundamental units of quantum information (qubits), and entangle them with their nearest neighbors to form links. A entangles with B, C entangles with D, E entangles with F, and G entangles with H. This produces a higher level in the network. Now entangle AB with CD, and EF with GH, to get the next level in the network. Finally, ABCD entangles with EFGH to form the highest layer. “In a way, we could say that one uses entanglement to build up the many-body wave function,”Román Orús, a physicist at Johannes Gutenberg University in Germany, observed in a paper last year.
Why are some physicists so excited about the potential for tensor networks—especially MERA—to illuminate a path to quantum gravity? Because the networks demonstrate how a single geometric structure can emerge from complicated interactions between many objects. And Swingle (among others) hopes to make use of this emergent geometry by showing how it can explain the mechanism by which a smooth, continuous space-time can emerge from discrete bits of quantum information.
Space-Time’s Boundaries
Condensed-matter physicists inadvertently found an emergent extra dimension when they developed tensor networks: the technique yields a two-dimensional system out of one dimension. Meanwhile, gravity theorists were subtracting a dimension—going from three to two—with the development of what’s known as the holographic principle. The two concepts might connect to form a more sophisticated understanding of space-time.
In the 1970s, a physicist named Jacob Bekenstein showed that the information about a black hole’s interior is encoded in its two-dimensional surface area (the “boundary”) rather than within its three-dimensional volume (the “bulk”). Twenty years later, Leonard Susskind and Gerard ’t Hooft extended this notion to the entire universe, likening it to a hologram: Our three-dimensional universe in all its glory emerges from a two-dimensional “source code.” In 1997, Juan Maldacena found a concrete example of holography in action, demonstrating that a toy model describing a flat space without gravity is equivalent to a description of a saddle-shaped space with gravity. This connection is what physicists call a “duality.”
Click to Open Overlay GalleryMark Van Raamsdonk imagines entanglement creating space-time gradually: Along the outside of the figure, individual particles (dots) become entangled with each other. These entangled pairs then become entangled with other pairs. As more particles become entangled, the three-dimensional structure of space-time emerges. OLENA SHMAHALO/QUANTA MAGAZINE
Mark Van Raamsdonk, a string theorist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, likens the holographic concept to a two-dimensional computer chip that contains the code for creating the three-dimensional virtual world of a video game. We live within that 3-D game space. In one sense, our space is illusory, an ephemeral image projected into thin air. But as Van Raamsdonk emphasizes, “There’s still an actual physical thing in your computer that stores all the information.”
The idea has gained broad acceptance among theoretical physicists, but they still grapple with the problem of precisely how a lower dimension would store information about the geometry of space-time. The sticking point is that our metaphorical memory chip has to be a kind of quantum computer, where the traditional zeros and ones used to encode information are replaced with qubits capable of being zeros, ones and everything in between simultaneously. Those qubits must be connected via entanglement — whereby the state of one qubit is determined by the state of its neighbor — before any realistic 3-D world can be encoded.
Similarly, entanglement seems to be fundamental to the existence of space-time. This was the conclusion reached by a pair of postdocs in 2006: Shinsei Ryu (now at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) and Tadashi Takayanagi (now at Kyoto University), who shared the 2015 New Horizons in Physics prize for this work. “The idea was that the way that [the geometry of] space-time is encoded has a lot to do with how the different parts of this memory chip are entangled with each other,” Van Raamsdonk explained.
Inspired by their work, as well as by a subsequent paper of Maldacena’s, in 2010 Van Raamsdonk proposed a thought experiment to demonstrate the critical role of entanglement in the formation of space-time, pondering what would happen if one cut the memory chip in two and then removed the entanglement between qubits in opposite halves. He found that space-time begins to tear itself apart, in much the same way that stretching a wad of gum by both ends yields a pinched-looking point in the center as the two halves move farther apart. Continuing to split that memory chip into smaller and smaller pieces unravels space-time until only tiny individual fragments remain that have no connection to one another. “If you take away the entanglement, your space-time just falls apart,” said Van Raamsdonk. Similarly, “if you wanted to build up a space-time, you’d want to start entangling [qubits] together in particular ways.”
Combine those insights with Swingle’s work connecting the entangled structure of space-time and the holographic principle to tensor networks, and another crucial piece of the puzzle snaps into place. Curved space-times emerge quite naturally from entanglement in tensor networks via holography. “Space-time is a geometrical representation of this quantum information,” said Van Raamsdonk.
And what does that geometry look like? In the case of Maldacena’s saddle-shaped space-time, it looks like one of M.C. Escher’s Circle Limit figures from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Escher had long been interested in order and symmetry, incorporating those mathematical concepts into his art ever since 1936 when he visited the Alhambra in Spain, where he found inspiration in the repeating tiling patterns typical of Moorish architecture, known as tessellation.
His Circle Limit woodcuts are illustrations of hyperbolic geometries: negatively curved spaces represented in two dimensions as a distorted disk, much the way flattening a globe into a two-dimensional map of the Earth distorts the continents. For instance, Circle Limit IV (Heaven and Hell)features many repeating figures of angels and demons. In a true hyperbolic space, all the figures would be the same size, but in Escher’s two-dimensional representation, those near the edge appear smaller and more pinched than the figures in the center. A diagram of a tensor network also bears a striking resemblance to the Circle Limit series, a visual manifestation of the deep connection Swingle noticed when he took that fateful string theory class.
To date, tensor analysis has been limited to models of space-time, like Maldacena’s, that don’t describe the universe we inhabit—a non-saddle-shaped universe whose expansion is accelerating. Physicists can only translate between dual models in a few special cases. Ideally, they would like to have a universal dictionary. And they would like to be able to derive that dictionary directly, rather than make close approximations. “We’re in a funny situation with these dualities, because everyone seems to agree that it’s important, but nobody knows how to derive them,” said Preskill. “Maybe the tensor-network approach will make it possible to go further. I think it would be a sign of progress if we can say — even with just a toy model—‘Aha! Here is the derivation of the dictionary!’ That would be a strong hint that we are onto something.”
Over the past year, Swingle and Van Raamsdonk have collaborated to move their respective work in this area beyond a static picture of space-time to explore its dynamics: how space-time changes over time, and how it curves in response to these changes. Thus far, they have managed to derive Einstein’s equations, specifically the equivalence principle—evidence that the dynamics of space-time, as well as its geometry, emerge from entangled qubits. It is a promising start.
“‘What is space-time?’ sounds like a completely philosophical question,” Van Raamsdonk said. “To actually have some answer to that, one that is concrete and allows you to calculate space-time, is kind of amazing.”

Scientists have found an Alien code in our DNA: Ancient Engineers
Scientists have found an Alien code in our DNA: Ancient Engineers
According to mainstream scientists: Alien code found in our DNA. Extraterrestrial beings created our species.
Researchers who worked for 13 years in the Human Genome Project indicate that they came across an amazing scientific discovery: They believe that the so-called 97% of non-coding sequences in the human DNA is nothing less than the genetic code of extraterrestrial life forms. Originally referred to as “Junk DNA” its functioned remained a mystery for researchers. Now researchers believe that our DNA is extraterrestrial in origin.
After extensive analysis with the help of other researchers in diverse fields such as mathematics, chemistry and programming, Maxim A. Makukov of the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute have ventured out and asked if there is a possibility that, what we call “junk DNA” is actually some sort of extraterrestrial code, created by an “Alien” programmer.
According to researchers from Kazakhstan, “Our hypothesis is that a more advanced extraterrestrial civilization was engaged in creating new life and planting it on various planets. Earth is just one of them.” The researchers indicate that “What we see in our DNA is a program consisting of two versions, a giant structured code and a simple or basic code.”
The team of researchers believe for a fact that the first part of our DNA code was not written on Earth and according to them it is verifiable. Secondly and most importantly, genes alone are not enough to explain the evolution/abrupt evolution process and there must be something more in ‘the game’.
According to Makukov “Sooner or later,” “we have to accept the fact that all life on Earth carries the genetic code of our extraterrestrial cousins and that evolution is not what we think it is.”
The implications of these scientific findings reinforce claims by other individuals and observers that claim to have had contact with aliens that look like humans. Human-like aliens could have provided some of the genetic material necessary for human evolution.
Quote from News.Discovery: This interpretation leads them to a farfetched conclusion: that the genetic code, “appears that it was invented outside the solar system already several billions years ago.” This statement endorses the idea of panspermia, the hypothesis that Earth was seeded with interstellar life. It’s certainly a novel and bold approach to galaxy conquest if we imagine this was a deliberate Johnny Appleseed endeavor by super-being
Researchers in Kazakhstan believe that the human DNA was encoded with an alien signal for an ancient extraterrestrial civilization, and they refer to it as “Biological SETI”. The mathematical code in the human DNA can not be explained by evolution. Basically, we are living and breathing holders of some sort of alien message that can be used,in a much more efficient way then using Radio-signals, to search for Extraterrestrial life.
Once the code had been set, it would remain unchanged in cosmological time-scales, in fact, researchers believe that our DNA is the most durable “construction” known, and that is why it represents an exceptionally reliable and intelligent storage for an alien signature, according to an article in the journal Icaurs.
Writing in the journal Icarus, they assert: “Once fixed, the code might stay unchanged over cosmological timescales; in fact, it is the most durable construct known. Therefore it represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an intelligent signature. Once the genome is appropriately rewritten the new code with a signature will stay frozen in the cell and its progeny, which might then be delivered through space and time.”
Scientists believe that the human DNA is arranged in such a precise way that it reveals a “set of arithmetic patterns and ideographic symbolic language”. These studies have led scientists to believe that we were literally invented “outside of Earth” several billions of years ago.
These ideas or beliefs are anything but accepted in the scientific community. Yet these studies have proven what some researchers have talked about for decades, that evolution could not have happened on its own, and that there is something extraterrestrial to our entire species. Is our entire history wrong?
One mystery that would remain as THE GREAT QUESTION is, if extraterrestrial beings did in fact create the human race and life on planet Earth, then “who” or “what” created these extraterrestrial beings?
A strange event happened near a small village of Majdan in the upper region of Lublin in Poland when an unknown spherical object flew over a wind park.
According to the witness who recorded the event on April 17, 2016, the object came from the east. At the moment it hovered above two wind turbines, the propellers just stopped turning around, while the wind turbines in the background continued to run.
After the object disappeared, the propellers started to turn around again.

LIFE CHANGING ALIEN ABDUCTION IN SHEFFIELD ENGLAND
JULY 16, 1981 …………… SHEFFIELD UNITED KINDGOM
An English woman who claimed she was once abducted by aliens recalled the terrifying extraterrestrial experience that took place more than 20 years ago. Her story of alien encounter will be detailed in a new book of renowned UFO expert and author Roy Dutton.
The Dawn She Was Abducted By Aliens
Valerie Walters told Torquay Herald Express that it was around 1:45 a.m. on July 16, 1981, when she was abducted by aliens. She was 26 years old at that time and was driving home with her two friends, Rosemary and Vivienn. The three ladies came from a night-out in Sheffield, United Kingdom. Walters recalled that she and her friends started to get terrified after noticing a bizarre light appearing from the sky. Moments later, they saw a huge craft hovering directly above their car. The English woman said that she cannot exactly recall what happened next after spotting the strange object. She remembered hearing a beeping noise that made her feel sleepy.
How She Was Abducted By Aliens
Walters relayed that she noticed that her friends were gone, therefore, she went out of the car to look for them. The car suddenly disappeared and then, she heard an odd voice telling her not to be afraid. After hearing the voice, Walters said that everything went red in her head as she felt like she was being vacuumed. The next thing she knew, she was already in front of some bizarre beings. “I was in a white wedge-shaped room with two humanoid beings, a male and a female both with shoulder length dark hair and hypnotic blue eyes,” Walters shared. Walters disclosed that she and her friends reported the terrifying extraterrestrial experience to the police, however, their case was not addressed seriously. She also said that her friends could not completely recall what really happened.
More People Abducted by Aliens
Walters’ story of being abducted by aliens is not the first case. According to the Inquisitr, the “UFO Case Book” has details of few people claiming that they were abducted by aliens in 1950s. In 2005, a woman named Donna Lee claimed that she lost her baby after she and her husband were repeatedly abducted by aliens. In the same year, a man from Florida, also claimed that he was abducted by aliens for few hours after spotting a UFO in his backyard. – Abducted By Aliens? English Woman Recalls Terrifying Extraterrestrial Experience More Than 20 Years Ago
This is something that just came to light today thanks to Youtube UFO researchSonofmabarker. He found out that Titanium (Ti) was in high abundance in the Baltic Sea UFO and that it was in higher concentration that other most elements. Titanium seems like a great material to make a UFO out of since its stronger than steel and lighter. Not to mention that titanium is used today to make aerospace vehicles, missiles and jet engines, because it has a high heat resistance. Sounds to me that Sonofmabarker found the smoking gun...the evidence to prove that this is a UFO. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

This is Timothy Good at a MUFON symposium speaking on evidence of UFOs existing and how it impacted him. Very cool insider information about the hidden secrets within the govt. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: Based on many years of research by one of the world's most respected authorities on alien phenomena, Timothy Good draws on top-secret documents, reports of encounters with large craft of unknown origin from pilots and personnel aboard aircraft carriers and destroyers, and interviews with high-ranking military insiders. It is full of revelations, including the alarming escalation of aircraft accidents and the disappearance of hundreds of military aircraft during UFO encounters and recent near-misses with UFOs. The evidence is clear, balanced and irrefutable. UFOs remain essentially a military and intelligence problem and one demanding unprecedented security and deception, with access to information on a strictly "need to know" basis. Fascinating viewing for all ages.

Star Wars : et si le combat au sabre laser devenait réalité ?
Star Wars : et si le combat au sabre laser devenait réalité ?
Des chercheurs allemands sont parvenus à influencer le comportement d'un faisceau lumineux à l'aide d'une seule molécule organique et d'une poignée de photons. Une expérience qui donne un peu plus de réalité physique aux combats au sabre laser de la sagaStar Wars. Plus sérieusement, cette première mondiale pourrait aussi aider au développement de transistors nano-optiques pour ordinateurs photoniques.
Nathalie Mayer, Futura-Sciences
Les travaux de chercheurs allemands rendront-ils bientôt possible le combat au sabre laser ? Ils marquent plus
C’est dans le secret d’un laboratoire du Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (Allemagne), qu’une équipe de chercheurs a réussi à observer des effets d’optique non linéaire, partant d’une unique molécule médiatrice et de faisceaux de lumière – des faisceaux laser plus exactement – composés de quelques photons seulement. En d’autres mots, ces chercheurs sont parvenus à influencer et à modifier le parcours d’un faisceau lumineux à l’aide d’une seule molécule organique, soigneusement sélectionnée, et d’une poignée de photons. Une première mondiale !
Pour mieux comprendre la prouesse, il est peut-être utile de rappeler que, selon les lois de la physique, les faisceaux lumineux s’entrecroisent toujours sans heurts ni étincelles. C’est du moins le cas dans le monde classique dit de l’optique linéaire. De quoi rendre totalement impossible les combats au sabre laser que se livrent les chevaliers Jedi dans la saga Star Wars.
Dans le monde de l’optique non linéaire cependant, un support matériel peut se transformer en médiateur entre les photons, de façon à ce qu’un faisceau laser puisse agir sur un autre faisceau laser. L’ennui, c’est que pour entrer dans le monde de l’optique non linéaire, il faut, en quelque sorte, forcer la porte et avoir recours à de grandes quantités de matière comme médiatrices et à des faisceaux laser extrêmement intenses.
Au-delà de rendre les combats au sabre laser possibles, l’optique non linéaire pourrait avoir desapplications pratiques très intéressantes. Utiliser des photons, plutôt que des électrons, pour transmettre les informations au cœur de nos systèmes informatiques, pourrait ainsi aider à développer des ordinateurs toujours plus puissants et compacts. De plus, rendre l’optique non linéaire accessible permettrait d’envisager de concevoir les réseaux quantiques nanoscopiques dont rêvent certains.
Des molécules (petites sphères rouges) sont intégrées dans une matrice solide et refroidies à une température proche du zéro absolu. Un faisceau de commande (jaune) de faible intensité permet alors de manipuler un faisceau sonde (rose).
Pour toucher au but, l’équipe du Max Planck Institute a tout d’abord refroidi jusqu’à quelque - 272 °C des molécules intégrées dans une matrice solide. À l’aide des techniques de microscopie et de spectroscopie les plus modernes, ils ont ensuite forcé deux faisceaux laser à se focaliser et à se croiser précisément au-dessus de l’une de ces molécules. Le premier faisceau, baptisé « faisceau de commande », est destiné à modifier les propriétés optiques de la molécule. Objectif : que celle-ci devienne transparente au second faisceau, désigné sous le terme de « faisceau sonde ».
S’ils ont choisi de travailler à cette température proche du zéro absolu, c’est qu’elle a permis à la section efficace de la molécule (grandeur liée à la probabilité d'interaction d'une particule) d’être démultipliée, à un niveau qui dépasse même sa taille réelle. De quoi donner l’illusion d’une molécule géante, offrant de nombreuses possibilités d’interactions avec les photons du faisceau de commande. Ainsi, seuls quelques-uns d’entre eux ont suffit à effectivement modifier les propriétés optiques de la molécule. Les chercheurs en sont convaincus : l’impulsion de commande peut encore être plus faible. Selon eux, un seul photon de commande devrait, à terme, suffire et permettre de présider à la destinée d’un photon sonde.
L’équipe du Max Planck Institute poursuit donc ses travaux fondamentaux. Tout en pensant d’ores et déjà aux applications pratiques qui pourraient en découler. Les chercheurs souhaitent en effet faire de cette molécule un transistor nano-optique à intégrer dans un guide d’onde susceptible de jouer alors le rôle de câble entre différentes molécules. Un pas de géant vers l’ordinateur photonique !

Les ovnis de retour dans le ciel wallon: voici les preuves !
Les ovnis de retour dans le ciel wallon: voici les preuves !
BRUNO DEHENEFFE ET J. C.
EXCLUSIF
BELGIQUE- Depuis la vague belge de 1990, le Cobeps continue à recueillir des témoignages interpellants.
Si le phénomène OVNI demeure inexplicable pour la science, d’étranges observations continuent à être rapportées quotidiennement aux quatre coins du globe. Depuis la fameuse vague belge de 1990 durant laquelle plusieurs milliers de personnes - parmi lesquelles des gendarmes, des militaires et des ingénieurs ont aperçu dans le ciel des objets triangulaires atteignant parfois la taille d’un terrain de football - plus rien de comparable ne s’est reproduit au-dessus de nos têtes !
Cela ne signifie pas que les ovnis ont totalement déserté notre espace aérien. Les statistiques du Comité belge d’étude des phénomènes spatiaux (Cobeps) en attestent. Le Cobeps dispose d’une quinzaine d’enquêteurs de terrain issus pour la plupart de la défunte Sobeps dont la mission est de collecter, d’analyser et d’effectuer des recherches rigoureuses sur base des témoignages qui leur parviennent. "Sur Bruxelles et en Région wallonne, on nous signale ainsi entre 80 et 100 observations par an. Nous les filtrons et les identifions quand c’est possible. Après vérification, il subsiste environ 5 % de cas non élucidés qui focalisent notre attention", indique Patrick Ferryn, président du Cobeps.
Pour la première fois , un bilan de l’activité ufologique belge a été réalisé en 2015. Le Cobeps et le Belgisch Ufo-meldpunt ont rassemblé leurs informations pour fournir un aperçu général sur l’ensemble du territoire. "S’il y a eu une augmentation des signalements dans les trois régions avec un total de 319 observations, le nombre de cas inexpliqués a plutôt tendance à stagner", M. Patrick Ferryn.
Aucune des observations récentes n’a cependant l’étrangeté de celle du 12 février 2011 à Engis (Charleroi) où une jeune automobiliste de 27 ans a visualisé un gigantesque engin lumineux et triangulaire parfaitement immobile au-dessus d’un zoning industriel. "Cette chose se trouvait à une altitude si basse que j’ai pensé qu’un avion allait s’écraser !", rapportera à la police ce témoin émotionné.
Réalisateur retraité, Patrick Ferryn ne tire aucun plan sur la comète quant à l’origine des ovnis, contrairement à d’autres qui prennent leurs fantasmes pour des réalités. "À l’heure actuelle, personne sur terre n’a la preuve matérielle de l’existence d’une incursion extraterrestre. Pour autant, on ne peut en exclure l’hypothèse. Grâce aux outils qu’offre Internet pour calculer l’altitude et la trajectoire d’un avion, il est désormais plus facile de distinguer les vrais témoignages des nombreux canulars, ce qui n’était pas le cas lors de la vague belge."
D’ici quelques mois, le Cobeps rendra publiques ses conclusions sur la journée historique du 29 novembre 1989 où pas moins de 150 apparitions très interpellantes furent recensées en quelques heures dans un rayon géographique limité du sud de la Belgique.
L’AREPS dévoile des documents exclusifs
La société ufologique présentera ce samedi, à Tournai, des photos et vidéos d’ovnis jamais montrées
Si vous vous intéressez aux ovnis, ne ratez pas le rendez-vous programmé par l’Areps ce samedi 7 mai à Tournai. Présidée par Daniel Recolet, cette société ufologique belge profitera de ses 20 ans d’existence pour dévoiler des documents exclusifs (photos et vidéos) provenant des archives de ses membres. Le fondateur de l’Association de recherche et d’étude des phénomènes spatiaux n’avait que 9 ans lorsqu’il a aperçu pour la première fois un ovni au-dessus du barrage de la Gileppe.
"J’ai remarqué un premier point lumineux bien plus gros qu’une étoile. Celui-ci a été rejoint par un autre, avant que les deux sphères ne se séparent", raconte Daniel Recolet. Depuis lors, ce passionné de radiocommunication âgé de 69 ans a accroché à son tableau de chasse ufologique bien d’autres observations qui ont bouleversé sa vision de la réalité qui nous entoure. Il prépare à ce sujet un ouvrage dont 158 pages sont déjà écrites.
En dépit de l’incapacité de la communauté scientifique à percer le mystère des ovnis, notre interlocuteur est convaincu à 200 % que ne nous ne sommes pas seuls dans l’univers et qu’il existe une 4e dimension, un univers parallèle auquel l’éminent Albert Einsten croyait lui aussi dur comme fer !
"J’en suis arrivé à la conclusion que les ovnis sont l’œuvre d’une intelligence extraterrestre bien supérieure à la nôtre et que celle-ci, après nous avoir précédé sur terre, a trouvé le moyen de raccourcir l’espace-temps tout en générant l’énergie pour se matérialiser", commente Daniel Recolet.
Ce dernier s’est également beaucoup intéressé aux crop-circles, ces dessins circulaires apparaissant dans les champs et qui, là encore, sont souvent interprétés comme des signes d’une civilisation venue d’ailleurs.
De tout cela, il sera question demain, de 14 h à 17 h, à la brasserie l’Impératrice (rue des Maux n°12B). Sachez encore que l’AREPS organise régulièrement des soirées d’observation à la belle étoile autour d’un barbecue.
Une équation prouve que E.T. existe ou a existé
Selon les calculs de deux chercheurs, Adam Frank et Woodruff Sullivan, de l’Université de Washington, les chances que l’humanité soit la première et seule espèce intelligente de l’univers sont d’une sur 10 milliards de billions. Soit un 1 et 22 zéros. "Pour moi, cela implique que d’autres espèces intelligentes et technologiques ont très certainement évolué avant nous", explique Adam Frank, professeur de physique et d’astronomie à l’université de Rochester, coauteur de l’étude. Depuis le lancement de la sonde Keplper, en 2009, plus de 1.000 planètes vivables ont été découvertes. Pourtant, aucune espèce en vue, en astronomie c’est ce qu’on appelle le paradoxe de Fermi.Ce n’est pas la première tentative de prouver l’existence d’E.T. par les mathématiques, Frank Drake avait déjà établi une équation il y a 55 ans. Mais celle-ci comportait trop d’inconnues pour obtenir des résultats fiables. "Nos résultats montrent que notre évolution n’est, semble-t-il, pas unique et a eu lieu de nombreuses fois dans le passé", concluent les chercheurs publiés dans la revue Astrobiology.

UFOs on the Moon
A FORMER NASA contractor has claimed there were three flying saucers on the moon during one of the Apollo NASA lunar landings, but the whole episode was covered up. I spoke at length with Donna during the Disclosure Project and she seemed very real and truthful.
Donna Hare claims to have worked for computer and engineering contractor Philco Ford during the early 1970s, in NASA’s photo labs with a high level of security clearance. She was able to access ‘Building Eight’, which “gave her contact with a series of high ranking officials who leaked her information regarding the Moon. She claims she was informed by sources that during one of the moon landings astronauts had found three UFOs had landed on the edge of a crater near them as they touched down. She said one contact worked in a quarantine area where landing astronauts were debriefed after they returned home. She said: “This man was in quarantine with them and was part of their debriefing. He said a lot of the astronauts talked about their experience of seeing these craft following them. “I believe there were three UFOs on the moon when they landed; and I believe that the code word for them was Santa Claus. “Some (staff) that wanted to talk were threatened and had to sign papers not to talk or they would have their retirement taken away, “I started asking questions and would take them away from the site and we would go to lunch.”
“Alone they would tell me things, and then say if I ever said they had revealed classified information, they would swear I was lying. “One gentleman I knew who said there were the craft on the moon just disappeared, I can’t find him.” In a separate claim, she said a security guard told her he was forced to burn UFO pictures by mystery-armed men, who struck him with the butt of a gun for looking at them. She also claims to have seen a UFO in a NASA image being airbrushed out by technicians.
It was a satellite aerial looking down. With a smile on his face, he said look over there. “I saw a round white dot and asked is it a dot of emulsion. “Grinning he said a dot of emulsion doesn’t leave round shadows, then I saw a round shadow over trees.” I said is this a UFO – he was smiling I cannot tell you that but I knew he meant it was, but he could not tell me. “He said well we always have to airbrush them out before they sell them to the public. “I was just amazed they had a protocol in place for getting rid of UFOs in pictures.”
Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after their historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a “light” in or on a crater during the television transmission.
According to a former NASA employee Otto Binder, unnamed radio hams with their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA’s broadcasting outlets picked up the following exchange:
NASA: What’s there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11…
Apollo: These “Babies” are huge, Sir! Enormous! OH MY GOD! You wouldn’t believe it! I’m telling you there are other spacecraft out there, lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They’re on the Moon watching us! NASA refuses to respond to conspiracy theories and UFO claims.
Alien Presence on the Moon? – Moon Anomalies
UFO hunters claim they have discovered a massive alien base on the moon nine miles wide. This photo of the lunar landscape taken during NASA’s Apollo mission has a cube shape and is not a natural formation. During that time it suffered damage, he said, but it still stands because of a supporting beam more than two miles long. A building this large could be a large base or mining operation.
NASA Scientists & What They Say About the Moon
Multiple NASA personnel have made some shocking claims about the Moon. George Leonard, a NASA scientist and photo analyst who obtained various official NASA photographs
of the Moon, many of which he published in his book titled Somebody Else Is on the Moon, is just one of these personnel. Although the photos are small in size and their resolution is not up to today’s standards, they show details of original prints which were huge. While Leonard published the identifying code numbers of the photos in his works to back up their source, their poor resolution makes it difficult to pick out structures. Far more compelling than these photos are his statements about what was found on the Moon, along with his verified NASA credentials. Leonard was not the only one with a credible background trying to tell the world the truth regarding the Moon and the photos that were taken from the Apollo missions.
When it comes to the UFO phenomenon, we now have public disclosure of thousands of documents along with hundreds of credible witness testimonies. It’s also important to note here that the Russian governmentrecently called for an international investigation into the U.S. moon landings regarding the disappearance of film footage from the original moon landing in 1969. They are also referring to the 400 kilograms of lunar rock that was obtained during multiple missions between 1969 and 1972. Leonard argued that NASA knew about extraterrestrial activity on the Moon and attempted to hide that information.
The universe that we live in is much more wondrous, exciting, complex and far reaching than we were ever able to know up to this point in time. . . . [Mankind has long wondered if we’re] alone in the universe. [But] only in our period do we really have evidence. No, we’re not alone.” – Dr. Edgar Mitchell, ScD. NASA astronaut (6th man to walk on the moon) Here is a clip of NASA astronaut Dr. Brian O’Leary saying the same thing. I have talked to several of these astronauts and privately they admit there are very strange objects on the Moon.
The Shard
This one, in a photo snapped by the Lunar Orbiter, has been named “the shard” or “the tower,” by Richard C. Hoagland, who comments on this photo at “Richard Hoagland’s Lunar Anomalies.” Taken from a distance of about 250 miles, the strange structure (if that’s what it is) would be enormous — seven miles high, by Hoagland’s calculations. (The star-like shape above the tower is a camera registration mark.)
It’s difficult to believe that such a huge structure actually stands on the moon… so what are we seeing in this photo? Is it a plume of “smoke” from some lunar gaseous emission? Are we seeing the ejecta from a meteorite impact? What is it? There are several towers reported on the Dark side of the moon
Leonard is not the only NASA scientist to say some strange things about the Moon. Recently, a plasma scientist by the name of Dr. John Brandenburg said the same thing. He was the Deputy Manager of the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was part of a joint space project between the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and NASA. The mission discovered water at the Moon’s poles in 1994.
It was (the Clementine Mission) a photo reconnaissance mission basically to check out ifsomeone was building bases on the moon that we didn’t know about or were expanding them? He then went on to state that: Of all the pictures I’ve seen from the moon that show possible structures, the most impressive is a picture of a miles wide recto-linear structure. This looked unmistakably artificial, and it shouldn’t be there. As somebody in the space defense community, I look on any such structure on the moon with great concern because it isn’t ours, there’s no way we could have built such a thing. It means someone else is up there.
Fred Steckling offers compelling photos of an entirely different lunar environment and even pictures of UFO’s on the moon. Now, decades after we allegedly visited there, there are NASA photos which partly corroborate what he said. The pictures show green blotchy areas inside meteor craters… hmm, what could that be? And especially interesting are the pictures of “tracks” on the moon, which clearly seem to be artificially produced– possibly some sort of mining operation by the aliens. It has a light atmosphere. It has plenty of water. It has a mild magnetic field. We were told none of this for years. Why? What were they hiding or are they truly incompetent scientists? More such facts revealed about other planets. Many photographs included with fascinating revelations. Further, there are countless photos of domes and other strange complex on the lunar surface. Thus, the evidence is in the photos, so it’s up to you to decide whether or not you believe in them. Every serious UFO researcher should own this book.
Ingo Swan remote moved the moon and saw mining going on both above and under the surface of the moon. The moon is rich in minerals and a study pointed out that rare earth elements are used for newenergy technologies and national security applications.
Helium-3 (He3) is gas that has the potential to be used as fuel in future nuclear fusion power plants. There is very little helium-3 available on the Earth. However, there are thought to be significant supplies on the Moon. Several governments have subsequently signaled their intention to go to the Moon to mine helium-3 as a fuel supply. Such plans may come to fruition within the next two to three decades and trigger a new Space Race.
We are clearly heading towards the inevitable reality of extraterrestrial contact — that is, if we smarten up and start taking care of our planet to the best of our ability.
According to the NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong the aliens have a base on the Moon and told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon!
Milton Cooper, a Naval Intelligence Officer tells us that not only does the Alien Moon Base exist but the U.S. Naval Intelligence Community refers to the Alien Moon Base as “Luna,” that there is a huge mining operation going on there, and that is where the aliens keep their huge mother ships while the trips to Earth are made in smaller “flying saucers”. LUNA: The Alien base on the far side of the Moon. It was seen and filmed by the Apollo astronauts. A base, a mining operation using very large machines, and the very large alien craft described in sighting reports as mother ships exist there. Thanks to Milton Cooper. Did Apollo 11 Encounter UFOs on the Moon? From the Book “Above Top Secret” by Timothy Good.
In 1979, Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. “The encounter was common knowledge in NASA,” he revealed, “but nobody has talked about it until now.”
Soviet scientists were allegedly the first to confirm the incident. “According to our information, the encounter was reported immediately after the landing of the module,” said Dr. Vladimir Azhazha, a physicist and Professor of Mathematics at Moscow University. “Neil Armstrong relayed the message to Mission Control that two large, mysterious objects were watching them after having landed near the moon module. But his message was never heard by the public-because NASA censored it. “
According to another Soviet scientist, Dr. Aleksandr Kazantsev, Buzz Aldrin took color movie film of the UFOs from inside the module, and continued filming them after he and Armstrong went outside. The UFOs departed minutes after the astronauts came out on to the lunar surface.
Maurice Chatelain also confirmed that Apollo 11’s radio transmissions were interrupted on several occasions in order to hide the news from the public. Before dismissing Chatelain’s sensational claims, it is worth noting his impressive background in the aerospace industry and space program. His first job after moving from France was as an electronics engineer with Convair, specializing in telecommunications, telemetry, and radar. In 1959 he was in charge of an electromagnetic research group, developing new radar and telecommunications systems for Ryan. One of his eleven patents was for automatic flight to the Moon. Later, at North American Aviation, Chatelain was offered the job of designing and building the Apollo communications and data-processing systems.
Chatelain claims that “all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin-flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence.”
He goes on to say:”I think that Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the first of the astronauts to use the code name ‘Santa Claus’ to indicate the presence of flying saucers next to space capsules. However, Schirra’s (shown) announcements were barely noticed by the general public. It was a little different when James Lovell on board the Apollo 8 command module came out from behind the moon and said for everybody to hear:’PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS.’
Solar Warden Space Craft
This craft was commissioned in 1988, and was based on the similar construction of a nuclear submarine with the nuclear power engine replaced by an anti gravity engine. It is a classified Interplanetary Exploration Spacecraft. According to the British hacker, Gary Mckinnon these spacecraft are part of the Solar Warden program and the US currently operates eight of these ships that are the size of an aircraft carrier. They are said to be part of the secret military space program spearheaded by the US Navy Space Weapons Division (MILAB). McKinnon found several files listing “non terrestrial officers” as well as ship to ship transfers to ships that do not exist in Navy records such as the USSS Hillenkoetter and the USSS Curtis Lemay. One of the photos he was able to view was in his words above Earth’s atmosphere and looked like a cigar with geodesic domes.
On Wednesday night‘s Jeff Rinse’s Radio show engineer William Tomkins explained he helped design these ships that have the ability to travel throughout our Galaxy and are currently attempting to fight off alien Reptilians with the help of Nordic aliens. The domes at the ends of the craft house laser weapons
William Tomkins revealed US Navy has Battle Groups operating outside the Earth. He personally designed five space ships and thirty support ships. Using the latest technology, he designed different space ships for Northrop Aviation Company. Northrop started building the huge craft underground in Utah. These craft now cruise the solar system and fight against Reptilian craft. The battles with them are very short, but we need more battle groups as they are becoming stronger and outnumber both our craft and the Nordic craft. The US works closely with the Nordic aliens who have similar craft. They apparently came from the Orion Constellation and influenced the building of the pyramids and imply they are our ancestors. The Reptilians allegedly attack various planets, take them over, and put the residents into slavery. The popularity of the Star Wars movie may be because the public understands the story is close to the truth being withheld from the public. Tompkins secretary at Douglas Aviation was a Nordic who was very beautiful and gave us advanced technology.
Tompkin claims we are now building even better Battle Groups. The Apollo moon landings were also designed to build a base on the moon. We now have bases on the moon along with bases on Mars and Jupiter’s moons. The rovers are expensive cover-ups and it is time to tell the public the truth. He has been cleared by the Navy to reveal this information. TRW was part of the group with unlimited money to build these advanced craft. We do know Tomkins worked for the right companies and was inside special units where advanced designs were produced. At age 93 he chooses to reveal the projects he was working on. Combined with testimony from MILAB whistleblower Corey Goode regarding Solar Warden we are able to piece together a possible look and feel of the ships they both discuss. It is likely the program was a joint venture of all top aerospace manufacturers such as Lockheed, Northrop, Boeing, Douglas Grumman, and British Aerospace.
Note The photos are CGI but is this REALLY ‘concept art’ or is it an effort to discredit a REAL photograph. Website

Sightings in the United States
California Sightings
San Diego – On April 18, 2016, filming from the beach lights seem to be coming from a single UFO, not a fleet. They stay together, as if attached. I tried to add light to them to see if there were wings or a body behind, but could find none. When I added light to the photo, it shows a UFO body behind it.
Austin Truitt of YouTube states: Right above the ocean 1 object appeared, then 2, then 3 and 4. Then all the objects vanished at the same time. Then a few minutes later 10 or 11 objects all appeared back in the same spot in a strange formation. This is when I started recording. After a few more minutes they fade out 1 by 1 as my camera goes out of focus.
Fallbrook — It was on February 20, 2016, that the sighting occurred. It was in the early afternoon and my wife and I were enjoying the view of Gavilan Mountain. I was looking up where two clouds met when something glimmered behind the leading edge of the storm clouds. Then the object appeared to drift down below the storm layer, actually swinging like a pendulum. It was a very shiny/brilliant object, almost with a glow, and now I could make it out. It looked like a polished, whitish shiny barbell except the lower end of the “barbell”, or bell if you would, was dark and burnt looking. That end appeared to be behaving like parachute would, dangling and swinging back and forth. Odd though, both ends were relatively the same size which wouldn’t be the case with a parachute. A parachute would have a much larger “chute” to carry the lower “bell”.
I glimpsed a small plane maybe ¼ mile to the right of the object. I grab my binoculars and it was gone. The bar bell appeared to be 20-30 feet in diameter. The “bar” appeared rectangular and shaded and was 8-12 feet rectangle maybe 30 – 40 feet long. The other dangling bell appeared dark, almost burnt, and actually looked like a square close to being 15 – 25 feet cube.
MUFON Case 74282. The picture was just like what I saw. I’m an engineer and worked for the Navy and know this wasn’t any aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Object
Fort Carson — I did not see the ufo, but my camera took over a dozen images on November 35, 2015.
I lived in a trailer park near Fort Carson and NORAD. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Cylinder
Petersburg — It was 7:45 PM, on April 29, 2016, our house is located right on the water next to Tampa Bay. I walked outside to the back of my house to let our dog out. I then noticed a strange cigar like object moving SE to S that I couldn’t identify. It was completely transfixing.
About 45 seconds into my observation, an orange orb instantly appeared directly to the right of the craft, and then blinked out after about 2-3 seconds. It was at this point that I pulled out my iPhone and captured about 25 seconds of relatively shaky video. There were no discernible normal aircraft lights and the craft made no sound. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Hawaii Light
I was at the beach at night time and just decided to take a picture of a bright star in the sky on February`4, 2016. So I did and was very surprised at what I captured. I actually caught the object morphing from shape to a different shape and so forth.
I didn’t lose sight of it because it appears to be just a bright star in the universe. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Triangle
Westerville — I observed the same bright light approaching from the north, that i had seen just a few nights prior to September 14, 2015, at 10:05 PM. I had NO camera with me! The craft entered my frame of vision from the west (skimming Tree Tops), turned 90 degrees and flew directly at me.
The Navigational Lights were that of a jet, but the headlight was 10 xs brighter than a typical jet headlight. Took the dog out and got a ‘psychic’ message to return outside when I spotted the brightly lit craft.
I boldly stood as the craft came overhead at 15 – 20 mph. It had a ring of brilliant red individual lights like ‘Times Square’ and utterly silent. Another Triangle, but this time, just over my head! Two Triangles together, with red and white lights, the head-beam was brighter than the moon, and cast for a couple miles forward.
It was VERY LOW, Slow, the green light and a feeling of peace hypnotized me, and love came over me.
They allowed me to see the entire craft and I wasn’t frightened as it passed overhead at 100 feet with the brilliant red belly lights. This struck me as a total Anti-Gravity craft. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Object
Roseburg – On April 2, 2016, the witness was outside walking her dog. She saw a bright object hovering over Roseburg, OR Airport. The object appeared to be oblong shaped and then it appeared to be rectangular shaped. The object was reddish-orange in color. It appeared that two dark circles were at each end of the object. The object hovered, then moved northeast, southeast and then abruptly disappeared. At 6:20 PM (over two hours before the sighting) a very loud boom was heard. The sound startled several neighbors and nothing was seen. The sound was likened to the sound of an exploding hot water heater. The witness took a video with her Samsung Galaxy III Cell phone and extracted two still images from the video.
Update – April 26, 2016: Apparently, the witness did not take a photo, but took a video. The two images above are screenshots from the video. The second image was received in this update. The witness writes: “Yes, the image was taken from the video on April 2, 2016. I just took the image and used the zoom feature on my phone to obtain a larger view of the image.”
Not sure if its people from other planets or the Military. All I do know is at 8 Pm on February 20, 2016; exactly I have found a spot that they fly by on their way apparently, to what I am assuming is an underwater base.
I have seen 36 ufos on 13 separate occasions. I have video and pictures.
I will share some as I see fit. These pics are from my cell and others from a decent camera. I have witnessed ufos vanish and re appear in thin air
I don’t want to share the location as it’s my personal secret. I have changed the dates and region for my safety. Enjoy the pics. Ill post more later along with clear video. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Light
Sweetwater — My husband and I were driving to the DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) area from Lubbock last Wednesday/Thursday. Out of complete darkness in the sky a line of bright white lights appears in front of our car. Dome shaped, flashing lights in a repetitive pattern, all white. The craft would disappear then reappear in different spots. It was seen over Highway 84 heading southeast of Hermleigh, and over I-20 eastbound coming into Sweetwater. We stopped on I-20 to take pictures as it flew right over us. The underside had three white lights in a triangle shape making low humming sounds. My husband took all the pictures but was skeptical about ufo sightings. He is not anymore. We have more than five pictures taken between Hermleigh and Sweetwater, Texas. It faded out to total darkness just before we got near Sweetwater exits off the interstate. Our phones kept running out of charge while this object was near and the Bluetooth in my car kept re-syncing while the craft flew over us. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Wisconsin Orange Ball
Rock Lake Pyramids in Lake Mills – I left my house and noticed a lightning storm and setup to take pictures. At 9:56, on April 25, 2016.
I noticed a glowing orange ball headed west my way. Object instantly changed direction. When I got home, the flash drive was corrupted. I have had this Camera a Fuji FinePix S5200 since 2005 and have NEVER had drive problem. I recovered the drive and the pictures. I checked the star charts. Nothing lined up. Many object in the pictures, looks like they are feeding or creating the Thunder Storm. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Reports
Australia Triangle of lights
Hamersley — I had just left my room and was walking to work when in front of me something moving in the sky caught my eye. I observed 3 lights the size of stars moving in a southerly direction in formation at about half the speed of what a plane would travel at cruising altitude. The 3 lights were approaching a single star so I double checked to see which lights were moving by identifying the positions of the near by stars and building structures that were in my view. I could confirm that the 3 lights were moving and the single star, nearby stars and building was stationary. I stopped walking and continued to observe the 3 lights for several seconds as they passed over the single star.
The single star remained visible as the triangle of 3 lights passed over it. About 10 seconds later the 3 lights dimmed out until I could no longer see them in the sky any more. This further confirmed that the 3 lights were moving independently in the sky. I continued to look upwards but didn’t see it any longer. The photo attached I didn’t take and is from a google search but is exactly what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS #76129
Canada Fire
Toronto — At 12:19 AM, I took a photo of the flotilla formation, which flew, over my building on 24 May 2014.
I felt some changes in the atmosphere and ran outside with my digital camera. In less than a minute, I saw a couple of flashes from three objects and snapped a photo of them. The camera’s screen showed nine of them!
The brightest two dozen objects flashed briefly and made this half U-turn flying a southwest loop over the buildings. Thanks to MUFON CMS
ONTARIO — A scientist at the US Department of Defense has become the latest high-ranking personnel to speak up about aliens and UFOs. The electromagnetic and laser systems expert of the department requested not to be named to safeguard his career. He claims to have seen a phone receiver-shaped UFO over woods during a hunting trip. The man said that he was with a hunting group on August 28, 2013 when he saw a craft at around 9:40 pm for about six minutes. The aircraft was seen just 400 feet away and two other members of the team also saw it. In a video interview, the witness claimed they were driving down a logging route when they spotted a craft flying at 150 to 175 feet altitude. He grabbed his riflescope, and hung out the open side window to watch the bright craft. The witness saw no lines and rivets and their cameras did not work until the craft was a quarter of a mile away. He wanted to find out how this vehicle flew. NOTE: The above image is CGI.

Costa Rica Flying Object
Cartago — I was with my girlfriend visiting Irazu Volcano National Park taking pictures. The weather was really nice. This Volcano is 3400 meters of altitude above sea level close to the biosphere. So we were above the clouds. The sky was really clear so at 11:00 am and we were taking pictures of the volcano and the landscape.
The clouds looked like a white sea so I took pictures. Once we finished the tour, we headed back home. Checking the pictures, I noticed one black circle above the mountains that I noticed before. It looked like a circular saucer with an antenna on the top of it and one on its tail. I took the pictures in a burst. On one picture, you can see the object completely clear on the next one it vanished in seconds.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Greece Triangle
Nea Moudania – On April 24, 2016, my friend and I were going home at 10:15 PM. In a moment when I saw up in the sky, a triangle shaped object pass over the building. At this moment, I thought it is a Military Vehicle. Two sides of this object had lights on both sides. It was going straight. When I saw the object, I was a bit nervous.
I told the event to my parents. I missed to take my Smartphone to take a snapshot because the object was moved a bit fast. When it was passed the building I was unable to get a picture. Sorry for grammatical wrongs. Please see the sketch that I made. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mexico: Rhomboidal Ufos
Ecatepec — The presence of these anomalous objects was visible, since the air show and flights had been cancelled on October 10, 2015. A rhomboidal UFO was sighted over the Tablas del Pozo district of Mexico State, by UFO hunter Salvador Ramirez, who had recorded a large brown UFO hanging in mid-air at low altitude. The UFO displayed considerable stability in spite of the prevailing winds, thus dispelling the possibility that it could have been a balloon. At that very same time, the Mexican Air Force was holding an air show celebrating the 205th year of the Independence of Mexico. All aircraft other than military were forbidden to fly over the area including Mexico City.
At 11:07 hours on September 16, to the south of Mexico’s Federal District, a crew of the Tercer Milenio television show, led by Carlos Clemente, was able to capture a disc-shaped, black flying object in flight. This silent UFO flew at low altitude, nearly at the level of the residential structures. Simultaneously, in the vicinity of Indios Verdes, UFO hunter Fabián Meléndez managed to capture an object having the shape of an inverted pyramid, motionless at low altitude. These sightings made us realize that there had been considerable UFO activity in Central Mexico between 11:00 and 13:00 hours.
Such sightings have been documented on video since September 16, 1991 when Vicente Sanchez, located in the Tlalpan precinct, managed to capture the presence of a mysterious UFO very close to the airplanes, which is not allowed for safety reasons.

Nelsprui – On November 7th, 2015 I was enjoying a barbecue in my backyard with my family when I saw a Boeing flying directly over my house heading in an east. The sky was cloudless and deep blue and the white vapor trails the Boeing Yohanan Diaz Vargas made caught my attention and I grabbed the old 60D and snapped a couple of photographs of it.
When I downloaded all the photographs on the memory card two months later and sorted them, I came across the photos I took of the Boeing. I then noticed a strange sphere in one of the photographs appearing to be right next to the Boeing which I did not see. I found another photograph with the same sphere but this time at the opposite side of the Boeing and very faint. I realized that this could be a UFO photographed by me unknowingly. I was excited about this and showed the photographs to a friend of mine working at a photo lab. He told me that it had nothing to do with lens flare and that I had actually photographed “something” and encouraged me to look into it.
In my opinion, someone on that flight had to have seen this thing as well as it appears to be flying at the same height as the Boeing. The last two photographs I indicated where the sphere is on photograph 0172 & 0174. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Alishan — We were watching sunrise at about 5:30 to 6:10 AM at the height of about 2,300 feet on May 4, 2016, and took many photographs. When I checked my photos in the car after we left the spot, I noticed some green dots in the some of my photos. I thought my I-phone lens was kind of stained by dust. However when I chatted with my friends they all have the same problems so we started to gather all the photos to check what happened. We were all stunned by the weird unknown object which emitted greenish light appearing in some of our photos. We only noticed it when we checked the photos afterwards. None us saw it when we were taking the photographs.
It looks like Kryptonite! One of my friends in HK (who is keen in checking information about UFO) takes the view that it could be an UFO and perhaps it was emitting a wave length that could not be detected by human eyes similar to a form of cloaked technology. What an experience. Thanks to MUFON CMS
United Kingdom Light
Newton Abbot Devon — On April 24, 2016, it was a cloudy night and I was looking at the moon through a break in the clouds. I then spotted a white light that was way off in the distance and was too big to be a star. At first, I thought it was the international space station, but the white light then began to move so I knew it couldn’t be the international space station. Also, there were no signs of light beacons so I ruled it out as being a plane or helicopter. Furthermore, there was no sound at all. I then zoomed into the white light with my Sony HX300 and could clearly see that it was changing shape. I started taking photographs. In the first, photograph the object looks like an F. In the rest of the photographs, the white light takes on some other bizarre shapes. I took eight photographs before the white light shot off into the distance and out of sight. The photographs were taken on 24th of April 2016 at Newton Abbot Devon UK.
Note: We have received many photos from this same witness over the past few years. So far, I have never had evidence of fabrication and it appears that this witness does experience unusual sightings. The witness used a telephoto lens with an optical zoom setting of around 11X. The apparent shape shifting may be real as the witness used a shutter speed of 1/8 seconds. It is less likely that the shape distortion was due to camera movement with this shutter speed. The object could have appeared to be shape shifting in camera photos if it was moving erratically in short distances. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website

Two scientists from the University of Rochester and the University of Washington have developed an “archaeological form” to the famous Drake equation, which will allow us to determine how many technological civilizations have formed in the history of the universe. And it seems there may be a number of them.
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
Are we alone? It is, perhaps, one of the most significant questions human beings have ever asked—right up there with “Why are we here?” and “How did it all begin?”
Indeed, as soon as we understood that the universe was not circumscribed by the Earth’s horizons, but extended outward for unfathomable distances and contained within its compass innumerable worlds like our own, we began to wonder whether we are unique and alone, or if there might not be others out there—like us, and yet very unlike us.
The famous “Drake equation,” formulated by astronomer Frank Drake in 1961, sought to establish a mathematical, probabilistic framework to understand the question of whether or not humanity ia really alone in the cosmos; it used a number of ingenious terms to estimate the number of technological civilizations in our galaxy.
The problem with Drake’s formulation was that three of those terms, in particular, were just too uncertain to permit a reliable estimate.
According to Adam Frank, astronomy and physics professor at the University of Rochester, and a coauthor of the paper (appearing in the journal Astrobiology): “We’ve known for a long time approximately how many stars exist. We didn’t know how many of those stars had planets that could potentially harbor life, how often life might evolve and lead to intelligent beings, and how long any civilizations might last before becoming extinct.”

SETTING SOME LIMITS
Recent exoplanet research, particularly with the Kepler Space Telescope, has constrained the first of these terms, determining that about one-fifth of stars possess planets within their habitable zones.
That leaves the second and third terms—the probability for advanced life to evolve, and the longevity of technological civilizations—but Frank and his colleague, Woodruff Sullivan of the University of Washington, simply altered the math a little. They eliminated the second term by calculating the odds against humankind being the only advanced civilization in the universe; and they dismissed the third by formulating a “cosmic archaeological question”—how often does intelligent life evolve throughout cosmic history?
Their new equation, which they call the “Archaeological form” of the Drake equation, looks like this—Nast x fbt.
Nast, the number of habitable planets, is defined as Nast = N* x fp x np, where N* is the total number of stars, fp is the fraction that form planets, and np is the average of those planets circling in the habitable zones of their parent stars. The second term of the Archaeological form equation, fbt, is defined as the likelihood of an advanced technological civilization arising on one of these habitable planets.
The results suggest that humankind is only likely to be unique if the odds of another civilization developing on a habitable world are less than one in 1022.
That’s a very—some might say improbably—small number.
“To me, this implies that other intelligent, technology producing species very likely have evolved before us,” says Frank. “Think of it this way: before our result you’d be considered a pessimist if you imagined the probability of evolving a civilization on a habitable planet were, say, one in a trillion. But even that guess, one chance in a trillion, implies that what has happened here on Earth with humanity has in fact happened about 10 billion other times over cosmic history!”
Delta Force agent claims they were 'abducted by UFO' in shock complaint to US military
Delta Force agent claims they were 'abducted by UFO' in shock complaint to US military
A SERVING US senior anti-terror special agent sensationally claimed her own commanders sent her insane by poisoning her with uranium and following her with drones, because she knew too much about a friendly fire incident.
The woman made the shocking allegations while still a serving commander with Delta Force
The woman even claimed to have been abducted by aliens in a UFO during her ordeal, www.express.co.uk can exclusively reveal.
Details of the Delta Force Afghanistan veteran commander's extraordinary allegations against the military and US Government emerged after the US Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS) released part-redacted documents following a probe it carried out into the claims of harassment.
The US Delta Force is a US Army unit similar to the UK SAS and used for hostage rescue, including the October 2015 release of 20 prisoners from an Islamic State (ISIS) prison near Hawija in Iraq, counterterrorism, and assassinations or surveillance of high-value targets.
The allegations bears startling similarities to the murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, 43, who is believed to have been killed by the KGB on orders of the Kremlin and died from uranium poisoning in London in 2006.
It also resembles plots from US TV CBS series Homeland in which special agent Carrie Mathison played by Clare Danes has suffered a number of mental breakdowns, and Person of Interest whereby subjects of surveillance are followed by cameras.
The woman, whose name has been redacted from the report along with other personal details, made the complaint on September 5 2013 at NCISRA Camp Pendleton in California.
The released report said the woman: "Claimed upon her return from a deployment with the US Army Delta Force in Afghanistan she became ill.
"(She) stated she was infected with a nano-partical which was provided to her via food, vaccines, and through the air because she had knowledge of a friendly fire incident wherein a soldier was killed in action.
"(She) stated after an illness caused from (redacted) she was returning home from work in Los Angeles, california, to Burbank, when she noticed she was being followed.
"(She) claimed she was being followed by a US drone or unidentified flying object (UFO)."
GETTY
Alexander Litvinenko was given uranium allegedly by order of the Kremlin
The woman, who rose to the rank of commander and held secret security clearance at the time of her complaints, claimed she photographed the "drone" but did not have them available when she was interviewed by investigators about her complaint.
Investigators reported a series of bizarre experiences she claimed to have had, which cast question marks over her sanity, after taking up mediation to "calm her ongoing illness and government tracking of her."
These included an out-of-body experience during meditation, when she claimed to ascend into a space craft, meeting an alien calked Ashtar who claimed "they war eloping for her," and being burnt on the legs by an "electro-magnetic pulse weapon."
she was infected with a nano-partical which was provided to her via food, vaccines, and through the air because she had knowledge of a friendly fire incident wherein a soldier was killed in action
NCIS report
The woman said in June 2013 she was travelling to be promoted from Lieutenant Commander to the rank of Commander when she went to Virginia Beach because it was the last place she saw her "soul mate," a US Navy Seal Team 6 member who was killed on duty in Iraq.
Members of that elite squad famously took out Osama bin Laden.
But she visited the Hampton Inn, had an alcoholic drink, then swam in the sea, where she had an out-of-body experience and removed all her clothes, it said.
Police arrested her for indecent exposure and she spent six days in a cell, it said.
She was then transferred to the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Virginia.
NCIS•BLACKVAULT
A page from the NCIS report and (inset below) a section in close up
Investigators said they contacted the medical facility in question, which confirmed staff thought she was not taking medication.
The report said an unnamed person said the veteran "will be processed for separation from the US Navy."
But staff at NCISRA Camp Pendleton chose not to investigate further after interviewing her.
Instead, the report said two personnel informed her "due to the location these incidents have occurred," they had no jurisdiction, and she needed to report it to counterparts in those areas.
It is not clear from the report if the woman took her complaint elsewhere or what became of her.
The report added she: "Claimed she was physically assaulted by members of (the medical centre) while she was admitted to the psychiatric ward."
After being discharged, she said she had another out-of-body experience while with an unnamed person in a restaurant in Burbank.
During this episode, she yelled at staff that the unnamed person with her was "a terrorist responsible for" the 9/11 terror strikes, before leaving and being arrested by police, then admitted to the Naval Medical Center in San Diego.
The report said she stopped taking prescribed medication after being released amid claims she was falsely diagnoses with mental health issues and "the US Navy was attempting to kick her out after 14 honourable years."
She chose to snub a book medical appointment on the day she made the complaint, claiming she did not need treatment.
But the release of the documents has caused a buzz on conspiracy their websites.
Jack Brewer said in an article on the UFO Trail blog site: "I very much appreciate Greenewald's efforts due to my interest in the activities of NCIS."
He pointed to the book Chameleo: A strange but True Story of Invisible Spies, Heroin Addiction, and Homeland Security by Robert Guffey.
In the book Mr Guffey claimed the NCIS had used interrogation techniques that induced perceptions in the subjects which were like the experiences of so-called alien abductees.
Mr Brewer also points to the 2015 Hoffman report to the American Psychological Association which looked at national security interrogation and torture methods and said the NCIS had used "ethically very marginal" techniques on a "petty officer who was screened for hypnosis."
Express.co.uk has asked the NCIS to comment on the allegations and if the complain ever resurfaced and awaits a response.

NASA Openly Admits Alien Life Exists: Get Ready for Disclosure!
NASA Openly Admits Alien Life Exists: Get Ready for Disclosure!
Most people ‘in the know’ realize that NASA is just part of the military industrial complex, but a recent open admission on mainstream news that “there are indications of alien life” is likely the beginning of a bid to get your undivided attention before full-forced disclosure ensues.
Most people already believe what NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan states:
“I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade . . .I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20-30 years.”
It isn’t going to take that long if we open our eyes.
Stofan goes on to say:
“We’re on the verge of things that people have wondered about for millennia. Within all of our lifetimes we’re going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system. We’re going to understand the implications of that for life here on Earth.”
What we’re going to understand is that our ‘secret’ government has been hiding this fact for ages. In an effort to transition the US and other countries through its reach to a cabal-run oligarchy, our shadow government has been lying about off-planet corporate slavery rings, alien abductions, benevolent beings who can only do so much until our collective consciousness elevates, and much, much more.
William Cooper, among others, tried to disclose the true purpose of NASA, but he was exterminated. His death, among thousands of others, will not be in vain.
We will learn that aside from extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet and many different ET races tinkering with our DNA over millenia, there are ancient humanoid races that are more than 10 million years old.
We will also learn that chemtrails and GMOs were the LEAST of plans made for us ‘sheeple’ and ‘useless eaters’ by a Luciferian cabal, and that President Harry Truman signed a document with certain ETs that allowed the ‘elite’ to conduct highly technological experiments with intelligence gained from these ETs in exchange for looking the other way when certain humans were abducted for ET experiments.
We will learn that we are not helpless, as we have been programmed to believe. We are, in fact, a rare humanoid race that has an incredible range of emotion and creative power. We will learn that our minds and emotions can either fuel chaos on this planet, or restore it to its rightful place of peace and cooperation, of care for others at least as much as ourselves.
We will learn that our ascension into infinitely peaceful beings is indeed possible, and it has been described in countless books, many of which have been suppressed along with UFO information.
NASA is telling us now that the likelihood of alien life is a ruse. Be sure to remember those who have been executed to try to prove this information to us decades ago, and to use discernment when the truth is finally revealed.
Norwegian Scientists Unintentionally Provide Fuel for a Fringe Theory on the Bermuda Triangle
Scientists in Norway are making waves with an announcement this week that has unintentionally linked giant craters in the Barents Sea to the controversial Bermuda Triangle. They say that the craters could have been created by exploding natural gas which some say has the possibility of being dangerous for ships. The international media has run rampant with the idea and connected it to a fringe theory explaining the odd occurrences in the Bermuda Triangle.
According to National Geographic , the researchers of the Arctic University of Norway studying the craters found that they are up to a half mile (0.8 kilometer) wide and 150 feet (45 meters) deep. They believe that the craters were “caused by the explosive release of methane, also known as natural gas, that was trapped in the sediment below.”
Methane is normally solid under the pressure of the sea, but it is known that chunks of the substance can break off and form gas bubbles that logically rise to the surface. Thus, the current work may provide a scientific explanation for reports from sailors of water starting to bubble and foam with no apparent cause.
It is important to note that the Norwegian scientists from the Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (CAGE) have not suggested that the craters are related to the Bermuda Triangle – others have taken the idea and run with it. They say on their website: “Multiple giant craters have been discovered on the ocean floor in the Barents Sea. Contrary to recent media reports, they are not connected to theories about Bermuda Triangle. They are however connected to huge blowouts of methane gas in the area during the last deglaciation.”

Specifically, Professor Karin Andreassen at CAGE, stated on the website:
“We have discovered many large craters on the seabed in the central Barents Sea. Analyses suggest that blowout of methane gas once the ice retreated after the last Ice Age formed these craters. We have yet to publish these results, so these are preliminary. What I can say is that we are not making any links to the Bermuda Triangle.”
Although there is much controversy by what is being presented in the media brouhaha, the Norwegian scientists have actually been studying seismic data of the giant craters in the Barents Sea "Multiple giant craters exist on the sea floor in an area in the west-central Barents Sea... are probably a cause of enormous blowouts of gas," say the researchers . "The crater area is likely to represent one of the largest hotspots for shallow marine methane release in the Arctic."
And it is that connection with methane gas release in the water that has set off a frenzy for people interested in the Bermuda Triangle and ship disappearances around the world.
Going back to 2003, David May and Joseph Monaghan suggested that the methane bubbles could sink ships – depending on the location of the ship to the gas bubble. They wrote in their article in the American Journal of Physics :
“Whether or not the ship will sink depends on its position relative to the bubble. If it is far enough from the bubble, it is safe. If it is exactly above the bubble, it also is safe, because at a stagnation point of the flow the boat is not carried into the trough. The danger position is between the bubble’s stagnation point and the edge of the mound where the trough formed.”
The researchers were interested in how their hypothesis could explain a sunken vessel found near a site known as “The Witches Hole” in the North Sea (between Britain and continental Europe).
Regarding the disappearance of aircraft, National Geographic reported in their October publication " Strange But True ," that "methane can escape into the air, making the atmosphere highly turbulent and perhaps causing aircraft to crash."

The gas hydrates were found during a research cruise with the German research ship FS SONNE in the subduction zone off Oregon in a depth of about 1200 meters in the upper meter of the sediment. ( Wusel007/ CC BY SA 3.0 )
However, it is also important to note that a proven case of gas bubbles rising to the surface and sinking an unfavorably-positioned ship has never been recorded, as Atlas Obscura reports.
Nevertheless, the notion that a sudden release of the gas potentially endangering ships, or even bringing down aircraft, is not new - May and Monaghan, the Russian scientist Igor Yeltsov , and some others have also toyed with the idea in the last few decades. Even though the CAGE scientists are not proposing a connection, some others have even directly referenced the role of gas hydrates in the disappearances of the Bermuda Triangle.
As Yeltsov, the deputy head of the Trofimuk Institute, reportedly said last year :
“There is a version that the Bermuda Triangle is a consequence of gas hydrates reactions. They start to actively decompose with methane ice turning into gas. It happens in an avalanche-like way, like a nuclear reaction, producing huge amounts of gas. That makes the ocean heat up and ships sink in its waters mixed with a huge proportion of gas.”
Furthermore, Benjamin Phrampus, an Earth scientist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, told Live Science in 2014 that "Gas hydrate is known to exist along the U.S. North Atlantic continental margin, with a very large province on Blake Ridge (north of the Bermuda Triangle)."

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle is a region of ocean bordered by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. It covers some 500,000 square miles of ocean. The legendary location has become notorious as a site of unexplained disappearances of ships and aircraft since it was named in a 1964 story by Vincent H. Gaddis in the American magazine Argosy.
One version showing the region of the Bermuda Triangle. ( Public Domain )
But Gaddis was not the first to report on strange happenings and disappearances in the region. George X. Sands, wrote about “an unusually large number of strange accidents in that region” in Fate magazine in 1952.
And many years before him, History says on their website that the famous explorer Columbus noted odd happenings as he sailed through the region.
They write:
“When Christopher Columbus sailed through the area on his first voyage to the New World, he reported that a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about erratic compass readings, perhaps because at that time a sliver of the Bermuda Triangle was one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north lined up.”
Numerous unexplained disappearances have been linked to the Bermuda Triangle. Some examples are US Navy ships that have inexplicably vanished with their crew and cargo in 1918 and 1941. They reportedly sent no distress signals and disappeared somewhere on route between Barbados and Chesapeake Bay.
As for planes, the famous Flight 19 story is one of the best-known. History reports on the strange disappearance saying:
“In December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 men took off from a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airfield in order to conduct practice bombing runs over some nearby shoals. But with his compasses apparently malfunctioning, the leader of the mission, known as Flight 19, got severely lost. All five planes flew aimlessly until they ran low on fuel and were forced to ditch at sea. That same day, a rescue plane and its 13-man crew also disappeared. After a massive weeks-long search failed to turn up any evidence, the official Navy report declared that it was “as if they had flown to Mars.””

There are many proposed theories that have tried to explain the strange occ)urrences that seem to abound in the Bermuda Triangle. Some of the alternative hypotheses include: aliens, Atlantis, sea monsters, time warps, and reverse gravity fields.
Other researchers have suggested magnetic anomalies, waterspouts or, huge eruptions of methane gas from the ocean floor.
Despite the supernatural feeling of the disappearances, the location is not officially recognized by the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names do not identify it or accept it on their list. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that “The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard contend that there are no supernatural explanations for disasters at sea. Their experience suggests that the combined forces of nature and human fallibility outdo even the most incredulous science fiction.”

The NOAA also states that:
“The ocean has always been a mysterious place to humans, and when foul weather or poor navigation is involved, it can be a very deadly place. This is true all over the world. There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean.”

What a week, UFOs have been seen everywhere this week, including the skies of South Africa and Spain. The one filmed in Alicante, Spain, had an angel-like appearance. As more people have smartphones and their picture-taking qualities improve, the number of UFO postings online has increased dramatically over the past two years.
South Africa is no stranger to UFOs (unidentified flying objects) – it is among the top countries globally with reports of sightings and alleged alien encounters.
Teenager Mechille Mudaly filmed what is clearly a bright light moving across the Chatsworth sky. East Coast Radio, a South African station, first reported on this UFO online.
This image comes from the YouTube video (bottom of page). The glowing mysterious object floats slowly across the sky in this unusually well-filmed footage.
When you first look at it, it seems like a very high street light – that is, until you notice that it is moving and gradually getting brighter.
“I love how this video catches the movement of the UFO. It is not often you get to see one move around without the camera bouncing up and down. This object moves smoothly across the sky and seems to be illuminated by moonlight.”
However, Mr. Waring makes one glaring mistake – his article is titled ‘UFO Caught Over Chatsworkth, UK on May 2016, Video.’ It was in South Africa, Scott, not the UK.
YouTube viewers’ opinions on the enigmatic object range from a satellite, the Moon, the International Space Station, to an extraterrestrial craft about to take over human civilisation.
It is definitely not the Moon, because it is moving too fast. For the same reason, I doubt it could be a satellite or the International Space Station, unless the footage is faster than the real thing – it is also glowing too brightly. However, its brightness could be a photographic glitch.

‘Angel’ UFO filmed in Spain
A UFO shaped like an angel was spotted in the sky over Alicante, a port city and tourist resort on the Costa Blanca, in the south-east of the country.
The mysterious, bright object was captured hovering high up in the air above an apartment block. A passer-by saw it, became intrigued by its brightness, position and shape, pulled out his smartphone and filmed it.
In the footage, the UFO strongly reflects sunlight, making it hard to determine what it could be. Several viewers commented that it has an angel shape.
During the footage you can see that it changes shape, from an angel to a sphere as the camera zooms out.
Why are there more UFO sightings today?
UFO seekers and alien enthusiasts say the increased number of sightings globally is clear proof that aliens exist and that the authorities are today unable to keep the whole thing secret, i.e. they insist that ‘the truth has come out’.
Psychologists, on the other hand, disagree with this explanation and say it is more likely due to a parallel increase in the number of science-fiction series and movies that have appeared in our cinemas, televisions, laptops and mobile devices recently.
What do you think – the truth is finally coming out, or people are becoming more UFO-obsessed because of all the sci-fi we are watching?

‘OVNI’ is Spanish for UFO. OVNI stands for objeto volátil no identificado.
They range from a man 'abducted by aliens' in 1856 to a strange object over Morriston
A man who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in the Vale of Neath in 1857 to a “flying jellyfish” over Langland Bay, Gower... and a strange object hovering near the DVLA tower in Swansea.
These are some of the many Swansea Bay UFO experiences which make up a new database established by the recently formed Swansea UFO Network.
Who's set it up?
The group was founded last year by Emlyn Williams and Steve Drewson to document and investigate sightings of unidentified aerial objects and phenomena in the Swansea Bay area, aimed at providing a forum for debate for anyone interested in the subject.
Mr Williams said: “Our first monthly meeting was held in April 2015 at the Welcome Inn in Llangyfelach, Swansea, and was very well attended. Since then we have held monthly meetings and have had guests speakers from the Ufology communtity.
“Many people who attend our meetings have had sightings and experiences to relate, sometimes for the first time, as their fear of ridicule in the past has kept them silent.
"Many witnesses have contacted us by telephone, email, or Facebook to report sightings.”
The new database of cases from the area has been sourced from newspaper reports, books and magazines, MOD reports and first-hand witness testimony – and these currently number over 350.

How do they operate?
Mr Williams said: “When we receive a report, either historical or current, we first look to see if they can be explained by ‘conventional’ means, such as balloons, Chinese lanterns, aircraft, meteors, planets etc.
“The behaviour and physical attributes of the object/s in each case usually tells us quickly what these could be. The cases where a ‘normal’ explanation cannot be applied are of most interest to us, and it seems that our initial geographical area of study has been filled with many ‘unexplained in conventional terms’ sightings.
“We are currently expanding our study area to cover all of South and West Wales as many sightings of objects travelling across the area could be corroborated by witnesses further east or west.”
Cases in the database include:
A man was 'lifted in the air'
1856:In the Vale of Neath, Ronald Rhys reported “being lifted into the air” after investigating a light and added he was examined by strange creatures and found he had been missing from home for a week.
It came from the sea
September 1957: A “blood-red ‘globe” rising out of the sea was viewed from Porthcawl by two police officers.
Wales News Service
Jellyfish?
August 1963: An orange object “like a jellyfish” was spotted over Langland Bay.
Like a cigar
November 1965: A huge cigar-shaped object hovering over Singleton Hospital, Swansea, caused lights on all the floors to flicker on and off, before it suddenly vanished in an instant.
An actual alien
Winter 1969: “An Alien” seen in St Thomas, Swansea.
It rose from a field
August 1977: A UFO seen rising from a field at Bishopston, Swansea, by two boys, one of whom was the son of the local vicar, who went to the site and reported marks on the ground.
Spotted over Briton Ferry
December 1977: Disc-shaped object reported seen over Briton Ferry.
Mystery white light
August 1987:Two uniformed police officers at Caswell, Swansea, saw a white light before it shot off over the sea.
'Huge' objects
Autumn 1988: Three huge disc-shaped objects were seen moving low over Crofty, Gower.
Spotted near the DVLA
The most recent sighting came on April 20, 2016 when a couple walking their dog in Clase, Swansea, near the DVLA, photographed an object in the sky as it moved from south to north without any sound.
The photograph taken by the couple was handed to the UFO network.

A Shocking Start to Life? Impact Craters May Have Triggered Life’s Origin
A Shocking Start to Life? Impact Craters May Have Triggered Life’s Origin
smashingtops
IN BRIEF
Researchers studying a giant impact crater in Ontario, Canada, have uncovered evidence that early life may have evolved in self-contained hydrothermal systems existing within such impact basins.
POCKET ECOSYSTEMS
A new study, published this week in the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, may provide new clues to one of the most intractable mysteries confronting human knowledge—the Origin of Life.
And those clues emanate from an unusual source—cometary and meteoritic impact craters. The study posits the notion that these craters, which—according to the record of other planets and our own Moon—plentifully formed on our planet during the Late Heavy Bombardment, may have produced conditions favorable to the creation of life in the Earth’s early oceans.
The interface between water and impact-heated rock, it is believed, conduced to the formation of complex organic molecules; subsequently, these craters became “pocket ecosystems” where life’s experiment could play out in isolation, before spreading to the wider world. It may also explain the mystery of why life’s most basal stem, the hyperthermophilic Archaea, seem preferentially to inhabit extreme environments deadly to the Johnny-come-latelies, like the Eubacteria and our own Eukarya.
Scientists have long proposed that comet and meteor impacts shuttled the important raw materials of life—like water, glycine and β-alanine—from the Sun’s outer natal cloud to the hot early Earth, where such volatiles had long since evaporated.
But the team of researchers, led by Edel O’Sullivan of the Trinity College Dublin School of Natural Sciences, suggests that the craters themselves incubated and fueled life’s origin, providing the catalytic energy to synthesize new molecules and power the evolution of the first metabolic, self-replicating systems.

HYDROTHERMAL ANALOGUES
Many origin-of-life scenarios have posited that life formed around oceanic hydrothermal vents, like the “black smokers” found near the mid-ocean ridges. But O’Sullivan rejects such structures as unlikely to have existed on the early Earth—they’re tectonic features, but that was a time when plate tectonics had yet to be initiated.
But by studying the ancient, ca. 200 km-wide (124 mi-wide) Sudbury impact crater basin in Ontario, Canada, the team realized that hydrothermal analogues could form within such impact craters. By probing the geologic layers of the crater, it was learned that the crater filled with seawater very quickly, when the bottom layer was still molten from the impact; volcanic rocks were deposited in a layer up to 1.5 km (almost a mile) thick, which indicates a long period of isolation from the wider ocean.
This intra-crater volcanic activity produced hydrothermal activity, and the existence of higher amounts of carbon and the depletion of nutrients in the layers above hint at the presence of microbial life.
“There is clear evidence for exhaustion of molybdenum in the water column, and this strongly indicates a closed environment, shut off from the surrounding ocean,” says O’Sullivan.
These impact-induced hydrothermal systems, existing in closed ecosystems, may provide the needed evidence for certain theories on the Origin of Life—such as Wächtershäuser’s “Iron-Sulfur World” hypothesis, which posits the evolution of a proto-metabolism on pyrite minerals in hydrothermal environments.
Move over, Roswell. Dulce is home to true UFO believers
Move over, Roswell. Dulce is home to true UFO believers
Geraldine Julian, who claims to have had numerous sightings of UFOs in Dulce, points to the area where she said a “big spaceship” hovered over her before disappearing into the night sky. Daniel J. Chacón/The New Mexican
Dulce native Geraldine Julian points to a mountainside on Archuleta Mesa where she said area residents claim to have seen UFOs enter the so-called Dulce Base, an alleged underground base for space aliens. Daniel J. Chacón/The New Mexican
DULCE— Something strange is happening in this tiny town on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation in the far reaches of Northern New Mexico.
Residents claim they’re seeing — even photographing — flying saucers and other unidentified flying objects over the community of about 2,600 people, many of whom also share stories of low-flying military helicopters and fast-moving lights darting back and forth in the sky.
One resident even claims to have tracked Bigfoot.
But it’s the unexplained activity in the sky — and possibly underneath a neighboring mountain — that has captivated this community, the capital of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. Everyone knows about New Mexico’s decades-long connection with UFOs, starting with the reported crash landing of an unidentified flying object on a ranch near Roswell in 1947.
Since then, New Mexicans have reported hundreds of sightings and encounters with UFOs. Roswell has built an industry around its fabled alien visitors with a museum and annual festival devoted to them.
But if Roswell is the capital of New Mexico’s fascination with the unexplained, Dulce is the town of true believers.
“The whole town of Dulce, whoever you want to talk to, they’ll tell you what they’ve seen — a lot of them,” said 78-year-old Geraldine Julian, who claims to have seen multiple UFOs and other strange activity starting in the 1960s.
“It’s not just a fairy tale,” Julian insisted. “All the things are true, and I believe every last one of them, too, because I’ve seen it myself.”
Julian swears she saw “a big spaceship” hovering above her property just outside of town.
“The bottom part was flat … but on top there was a dome,” she said while resting near a blocked-off bridge where the alleged UFO flew over. “There was movement inside.”
Talk of UFOs and other unexplained activity in and around this isolated community just south of the Colorado border is not new.
Legend has it that Dulce is ground zero for space aliens who are working in concert with the government in a not-so-secret facility underneath Archuleta Mesa, a steep, flat-topped mountain overlooking the town.
“In 1979, businessman Paul Bennewitz was convinced he was picking up electronic communications from alien spacecraft, and after further investigations, he claims he discovered a secret underground base near the town of Dulce where these signals were coming from,” according to the Top5s, a YouTube channel that ranked the Dulce Base the second most mysterious and highly forbidden place on the planet.
“His results excited the UFO community and by 1990, well-known ufologist John Lear also claims he had proof the base existed, and the theories have been going on ever since,” according to the report, which has received more than 1.5 million views on YouTube.
The so-called Dulce Base, which was featured on the History Channel’s UFO Hunters television show, purportedly contains multiple levels, including areas for genetic and mind-control experiments and cryogenics storage. As the story goes, the Dulce Base serves as the hub of an underground transportation system linked to other alien bases, including one in Taos.
“I’m not a believer,” said one of the cooks at the Players Sports Bar & Grill a local gathering spot that sells a “Sasquatch Burger,” an enormous hamburger with 2 pounds of beef, six strips of bacon and four slices of cheese between bread in the shape of a big foot. Near the entrance of the bar is a poster with two green space aliens, one dressed as a cowboy and the other as an Indian with a headdress, and the words, “Where the locals hang out!”
The Wild Horse Casino next door also is trying to capitalize on the alleged space alien activity. Among the T-shirts for sale in the casino’s gift shop is one featuring a green alien with big, blue eyes over the caption, “I got probed at Dulce Base.”
Chelse Anderson, 27, who works at the casino, said the hotel attracts visitors who are specifically in search of UFOs.
“They prefer rooms with a view of the mountain, that way they can see it,” she said. “We have some [guests] that wander around the building at night.”
The casino hotel is already booked for next weekend in anticipation of the Dulce Base UFO Conference, which a local nonprofit is hosting as a fundraiser. The nonprofit, Apache Indigenous Defenders Inc., is raising money to support organizations that work to keep local Native traditions alive.
In an area with little economic activity, the president of the Jicarilla Apache Legislative Council has embraced the notion of a Dulce Base, partly in a push to stimulate tourism in a largely forgotten pocket of the state.
“We are a proud nation who remain steadfast to our way of life as Jicarilla Apaches,” council President Ty Vicenti wrote in a welcome message posted on the conference website.
“Our people have been blessed with an outstanding first of the year, as snow has given us hope for a prosperous 2016,” he wrote. “Please take the time to visit our many tribal businesses, enjoy a meal from local vendors located on Commercial Street, visit the Arts and Crafts Department and talk to the many tribal members who have first hand contact with UFO sightings and stories.”
Dulce, which became the headquarters of the Jicarilla Apache Nation in 1887, is perhaps best known among Northern New Mexicans as the location of the annual Little Beaver Roundup Rodeo.
The former logging town has no traffic lights or Starbucks or McDonald’s. Rather, there are a handful of convenience stores and small mom-and-pop restaurants on either side of N.M. 64. One of the main economic drivers is the casino, which, unlike other Indian casinos in New Mexico, closes at night.
Anderson, a Dulce native, said she’s never seen an unidentified flying object but hopes she will one day.
“Numerous people have seen stuff,” she said. “I believe there’s something there.”
She’s not alone.
In fact, one Dulce resident believes he captured UFOs on his camera.
“I took this picture about 3 o’clock in the morning,” a man who works in the tribal government’s Public Safety Division said Wednesday while displaying a grainy photo on his phone that shows several balls of light suspended in the air.
The man, who declined to give his name for fear of losing his job, also has two photos taken in broad daylight that appear to show one and then two UFOs floating in the clouds. The man declined to share his photos.
“The way the government is, the way things are, I don’t want [it] to come back on me,” he said. “Plus, I’m [a public safety employee]. I’m not even supposed to be talking about this because of my job.”
A former New Mexico State Police trooper, the late Gabe Valdez, documented unexplained cattle mutilations in the area in the mid-1970s, boosting speculation of alien activity.
But the evidence left behind didn’t come from outer space, Valdez said in different interviews.
“The evidence that was left there, you know, predators don’t leave gas masks, glow sticks, radar chaff. They don’t leave that stuff. They don’t have vitamin B-12,” Valdez said in a radio interview.
In an interview with the History Channel’s UFO Hunters, Valdez said the most anomalous evidence he came across while investigating cattle mutilations happened about 40 miles east of Dulce.
“We could tell where the aircraft came through,” Valdez said. “They didn’t do the whole process, and they left a fetus inside the animal.”
“A fetus? A cow fetus,” UFO researcher Pat Uskert asked Valdez.
“No,” Valdez replied. “It looked like a human, a monkey and a frog. It didn’t have any bones in the head. It was all full of water.”
When asked if he was implying that the cow was being used as an “incubation chamber for a cloned creature,” Valdez said that’s “exactly” what he was saying.
In an interview with Open Minds Radio, Valdez said he found listening devices in his home after investigating the cattle mutilations. He also claimed to have seen “sophisticated aircraft,” including an orb that looked like a hot air balloon.
“People have seen the helicopters. They’re black and silent,” Valdez said in the radio interview.
Tim Anderson, who is Navajo and married to an Apache, said stories of black helicopters and bright lights over Archuleta Mesa are commonplace in Dulce. He describes the town as the Roswell of Northern New Mexico.
“I don’t know what it is,” he said. “I can’t explain it.”
Anderson is more interested in what’s on the ground than in the air.
Specifically, he’s tracking Bigfoot.
“I do believe there is a mystical creature out there that nobody knows about,” said Anderson, who claims to have found two separate Bigfoot footprints that he made into casts.
“I believe there is something out there,” he said. “One of these days, somebody will find something.”
Anderson, who was a police officer in Dulce for 14 years, said he saw a UFO in a canyon near Archuleta Mesa while working in the late 1990s.
“It lit up the whole valley and just disappeared into the rocks,” he said. “I just rubbed my eyes. ‘Did I really see that?’ ”

De bekende journalist en tv-persoonlijkheid Jaime Maussan heeft naar eigen zeggen van tienduizenden mensen van over de hele wereld bewijs ontvangen voor UFO’s en buitenaardse activiteit.
In onderstaande video, opgenomen op het MUFON Symposium 2015, presenteert hij recente ontwikkelingen op het gebied van ufologie. Hij laat videobeelden en foto’s zien van UFO’s, gemaakt door infraroodcamera’s, nachtkijkers, NASA-sondes, satellieten en vliegtuigcamera’s.
UFO’s worden door ruimtesondes van de NASA vastgelegd in de ruimte, bij de zon, rond kometen, in de buurt van vulkanen en ook verschijnen er vaak mysterieuze bollen in de lucht.
Maussan gaat ook in op de ‘nooit eerder vertoonde alienbeelden’ van de wereldberoemde crash bij Roswell op een grote conferentie over buitenaards leven in Mexico-Stad afgelopen jaar. De wereldwijd erkende UFO-specialist zegt dat de foto’s ‘hét bewijs leveren dat aliens bestaan’.
Rond de tijd van de UFO-crash bestonden er nog geen schetsen of modellen van buitenaardse wezens, dus de foto’s kunnen zijns inziens niet vervalst zijn. Ook collega-onderzoeker Richard Dolan is er zeker van dat het gaat om authentieke foto’s. De anatomie van de alien is volgens hem te gedetailleerd en correct om verzonnen te zijn.

Alien UFO’s over Australia | UFO filmed | Ufo Sightings
UFO filmed by tourists at the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Quote from a witness – Jack Purcell “For those saying that it could be an RC craft or ‘quad-copter’, keep in mind that this thing was at least four times the size of the police helicopters that flew by. It’s also the shape of a giant triangle, as you can easily see in 720p if you pause directly on 4:15. This thing was also flying with the point of the triangle facing behind it, which is extremely odd in terms of aerodynamics. If somebody can make a remote controlled object that big, and fly it around like this, then make it vanish like it did, i would like to see the video.”
Ongeveer tien jaar geleden vonden er krachtige zonnestormen plaats, maar had dit alles weinig effect op aarde.
Nu is de zonneactiviteit veel lager, maar desondanks zijn de gevolgen op aarde vele malen groter. Hoe kan dat?
Er gebeuren zoveel dingen om ons heen dat het soms moeilijk is om allemaal bij te benen. Over het grootste gevaar dat ons op dit moment bedreigt, zwijgt men in de reguliere pers in alle toonaarden.
In het jaar 1859 gebeurde er op aarde iets bijzonders, wat later de geschiedenis in zou gaan als de Carrington gebeurtenis.
De zonnestorm van 1859, ook bekend als de super zonnestorm of de Carrington gebeurtenis, was verantwoordelijk voor het uitvallen van de telegraaf door heel Europa en Noord-Amerika.
Waar in 1859 de gevolgen beperkt bleven aangezien elektriciteit in die dagen nog een bescheiden rol speelde in de maatschappij, vandaag de dag zou een dergelijk gebeurtenis voor ons een regelrechte ramp betekenen. Denk maar na...geen internet, geen brandstof, geen voedsel, geen water.
De super zonnestorm bereikte haar piek op 1 september 1859 en veroorzaakte een geweldig grote CME die in 17 uur de aarde bereikte. (Een coronale massa uitstoot (of CME) is een grote gasbel doordrenkt met magnetische veldlijnen die door de zon weggeblazen worden met een tijdsduur van enkele tientallen minuten tot enkele uren.) Dit is hoogst ongebruikelijk omdat het normaal gesproken drie tot vier dagen duurt voordat de aarde wordt bereikt.
Deze CME stormen worden ingedeeld in verschillende klassen zoals te zien op de volgende afbeelding.
Over het algemeen hoeven we alleen aandacht te besteden aan M en X klasse CME uitbarstingen.
Zo was de eerder genoemde Carrington CME een zogenaamde X40 uitbarsting, een hele zware dus.
Op het volgende plaatje zie je de zonneactiviteit met de daarbij behorende uitbarstingen van de laatste jaren. Dan zie je dat de zon als het ware rustiger wordt, want de uitbarstingen worden jaarlijks behoorlijk kleiner.
Wat echter behoorlijk alarmerend is voor ons aardbewoners, is dat de relatief zwakke CME uitbarstingen in 2015 meer verstoringen op aarde veroorzaakten dan de vele grotere in de jaren daarvoor.
Die verstoringen in 2015 deden zich voor bij het vliegverkeer, waarbij verkeersleiders achter de radar alleen maar statische beelden zagen tot problemen met satellieten in de ruimte en uitvallen van energiecentrales.
De meest waarschijnlijke oorzaak van dit alles is het sterk afnemende magnetisch veld rond de aarde en dat het verschuiven van de magnetische polen alle tekenen vertoont van een zogenaamde pole shift. Dit is wat anders dan omkeren van de geografische/fysieke polen waarover wij in een eerder artikel schreven.
Dit afzwakken van het magnetisch veld gebeurt nu toch wel razendsnel met iedere tien jaar een vijf procent verdere afname. Naarmate wij onze bescherming verliezen, worden de gevolgen op aarde van de zonneactiviteiten groter. De implicaties van dit alles zijn uiteraard enorm.
Met andere woorden, waar je voorheen misschien een X-30 CME nodig had om een bepaald effect op aarde te veroorzaken, is nu een C-30 daarvoor al voldoende.
De onderstaande video geeft een stap voor stap uitleg over wat er nu gebeurt, het waarom en wat we misschien kunnen verwachten.
Wat we kunnen verwachten is dat de magnetische polen veel sneller bewegen dan wetenschappers oorspronkelijk dachten en dat de polen niet in tegenovergestelde richting bewegen, maar naar elkaar toe. Wanneer de huidige trend doorzet, zullen beide magnetische polen elkaar ergens in de buurt van Indonesië ontmoeten.
Wat ook duidelijk wordt uit de video is waar de gebieden zich bevinden waar nog wel voldoende bescherming is door het magnetische veld en gebieden waar die bescherming zo goed als weg is.
Wij hebben wat dat betreft in ons land geluk, want wij profiteren van een sterk magnetisch veld boven Siberië. Mensen in bijvoorbeeld Brazilië zijn minder gelukkig wat dat betreft.
De onderstaande video beperkt zich tot feiten en speculeert verder niet over waarom dit alles juist op dit moment gebeurt. Wij hebben wel een aardig idee, maar dat is een ander hoofdstuk.
Wat vooral voor ons van belang is om te weten, is dat de bescherming van het aardmagnetisch veld sterk afneemt en dat wij de komende jaren misschien veel zullen merken van relatief kleine CME uitbarstingen.
Daarnaast zal een verminderde bescherming van het aardmagnetisch veld en de atmosfeer gevolgen hebben voor onze gezondheid.
Frank Kinbler, an assistant professor of Earth sciences at New Mexico Military Institute, is working in his spare time to bring forth scientifically correct evidence from the Roswell crash site.
Frank Kimbler teaches geology and Earth sciences at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell. In his spare time, he attempts to find evidence of the purported UFO crash that occurred in 1947. According to Open Minds, a UFO news source, Kimbler has allegedly collected plastic and metal debris, some of which shows signs of being made “off planet.”
We probably won’t live to find out definitively whether we are not alone in the universe, whether extraterrestrial life is indeed a reality. But perhaps just as interesting as the question of whether or not a little green man is hovering above us in a cylindrical spacecraft is why so many Americans tell this story to begin with.
In their upcoming photo book “Phenomena,” photographers Tobias Selnaes Markussen, Sara Galbiati and Peter Helles Eriksen — known together as the Phenomena Collective — examine how we as a culture molded this particular and peculiar myth of alien life. As shown in the compassionate yet unbiased images, the artists are interested less in the validity of the stories of extraterrestrial sightings and more in the collective imagination that shapes them.
“PHENOMENA”
Melinda Leslie has a money-back guarantee on her UFO tours in Sedona, Arizona.
“What makes the UFO phenomena?“ the photographers ask on Kickstarter. “Is it just a commercially profitable story, a delusion with social consequences, a religious myth or even a physical phenomenon?” Journeying through Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona, Markussen, Galbiati and Eriksen piece together a contemporary collage of the UFO myth, framing the belief as a powerful alternate religion in which no one is truly ever alone.
Working together as a collective, the artists document real-life individuals who believe in alien life and work to spread their truth, whether through research or guided tours. Other photos depict various pieces of evidence from specific UFO sightings and crashes. Framed as an anthropological study and presented from a fictional perspective, the images don’t demand that the viewer determine them true or false. Rather, the photographs create an intriguing story of an radical belief system, that, over time, seems to be gaining more and more traction and respect.
“PHENOMENA”
Lyle Michel attends a gathering at the home of self-proclaimed paranormal therapist Miesha Johnston in Las Vegas.
For example, last year Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA, announced her belief that society is just decades away from getting the evidence we need to confirm the existence of alien life. “I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years ... We know where to look. We know how to look. In most cases, we have the technology, and we’re on a path to implementing it. And so I think we’re definitely on the road.”
Phenomena Collective’s photos capture this kind of belief at the crucial moment when fantasy could start to look more like truth, examining just why and how this shift is occurring.
While most often, outside of UFO-obsessed circles, those who believe in extraterrestrials are presented as ignorant, naive or just plain weird, the Phenomena Collective withholds all judgment, positive or negative, and simply presents the beauty and strangeness of this growing subculture as is. As presented by the photographers, UFO mythology is not an outlying belief in American thought. Something about the story has woven itself into the dominant cultural imagination, and that’s more powerful than any flying saucer could ever be.
The Phenomena Collective is currently raising funds to publish their photo book onKickstarter. Although they’ve already reached their goal of $12,000, every dollar helps, and you still have until Monday, May 9, to donate to this out-of-this-world cause.

The illusion of past, present, future
The illusion of past, present, future
Robert Lanza and Deepak Chopra
The universe evolves backward in time, not the other way around as we were taught in school. "The histories of the universe," concedes Stephen Hawking, the famed physicist "depend on what is being measured, contrary to the usual idea that the universe has an objective observer-independent history."
Life is not just a collection of atoms — proteins and molecules spinning like planets around the sun. It is true that the laws of chemistry can tackle the rudimentary biology of living systems, but there is more to us than the sum of our biochemical functions. Conversely, physical existence cannot be divorced from the animal life that coordinates experience. We are connected not only by intertwined consciousness, but by a pattern that is a template for the universe itself.
Quantum physics tells us that objects exist in a suspended physical state until observed, when they collapse to just one outcome — we don't know what happens until we investigate, and our investigation influences that reality. Whether or not certain events may have happened some time ago, may not actually be determined until some time in your future — it may actually be contingent upon actions that have not yet taken place.
Bizarre? Maybe you don't believe this is real. Consider an experiment that was published in Science a couple of years ago. Scientists in France shot particles of light "photons" into a measuring apparatus, and showed that what they did — now, in the present — could retroactively change something that had already happened in the past. As the photons passed a fork in the apparatus, they had to decide whether to behave like particles or waves when they hit a beam splitter. Later on — well after the photons passed the fork — the experimenter could randomly switch a second beam splitter on and off electronically. It turns out that what the observer decided at that point, determined what the particle actually did at the fork in the past. At that moment, the experimenter chose his reality.
Of course, we live in the same world. No physicist challenges the fact that particles do not exist with definite physical properties until they are observed. Every particle has a range of possible physical states, but it's not until the actual act of observation that it takes on defined properties. So until the present is determined, how can there be a past?
According to eminent physicist John Wheeler, one of Albert Einstein's last collaborators "The quantum principle shows that there is a sense in which what an observer will do in the future defines what happens in the past."
It was only with the advent of quantum physics that scientists began to consider again the old question of the possibility of comprehending the world as a form of mind. Since that time, physicists have analyzed and revised their equations in a vain attempt to arrive at a statement of natural laws that in no way depends on the circumstances of the observer. It seems only natural that the daily circuit of, say, moon round earth, though satiable only by a mind, was independent of any perception whatever. But this was to prove an illusion.
In these days of experiment and disconnected theory, one point seems certain: the nature of the universe cannot be divorced from the nature of life itself. Indeed, the quantum theory implies that consciousness must exist, and that the content of the mind is the ultimate reality. If we do not look at it, the moon is gone. In this world, only an act of observation can confer shape and form to reality — to a dandelion in a meadow, or a seed pod, or the sun or wind or rain. Anyway, it's amazing, and even your dog can do it too.
According to biocentrism, space and time are not the not the hard objects we think (Lanza and Berman, Biocentrism, BenBella, 2009). Wave your hand through the air. If you take everything away, what's left? The answer, of course, is nothing. The same thing applies for time — you can't put it in a marmalade jar. Look at anything — say this page. You can't see it through the bone that surrounds your brain. Everything you see and experience right now is a whirl of information occurring in your mind. Space and time are simply the mind's tools for putting everything together. We carry them around with us like turtles with shells. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, they are not "real and insurmountable."
In the end, even Einstein admitted, "Now Besso" (one of his oldest friends) "has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like usÉknow that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

Huge UFO Over St. Louis Cardinals Game On May 3, 2016, Photos, UFO Sightings Daily.
Date of sighting: May 3, 2016 Location of sighting: St.Louis, Missouri , USA Source: MUFON #76223 This witnesses photos are really big. Probably using a very powerful camera when taking these photos. These you see here are just very close up screenshots of the photos I made. We can see that the UFO does look metallic between two bright balls of light. In others its long and thin. This UFO is really high up and had to have shown up on radar for that area. This object must have been big, because it was seen from a great distance away and his photos are really fantastic. How could others not see this you ask? Others did see it, but often 95% of the people who see UFOs often dismiss it, but later end up regretting not taking it more seriously at the time. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: My family and I just left the St. Louis Cardinal game, we were driving west on hwy 40, I was the first to see it. Off in the distance (approx 4 or 5 miles away) in the west (SW from our current position) I could see an extremely bright row of lights (4 round very large set of lights side by side). Like stadium lighting. I pointed it out to my husband and son. My husband said "it's just lights on top of a building or crane", "no big deal"... As we got closer to it we realized, there were NO buildings or cranes around! All highway and some trees. The lights were straight forward like headlights. It seemed like it was in the same spot from when I first spotted it. We got onto the off ramp from hwy 40 and were going to head south on hwy 270. As soon as we got onto hwy 270 my husband pulled to the shoulder so I could try and get some better pictures of this "floating light tower".
It seemed like it was less than a quarter of a mile to the right of us at that point. Since we were stopped and now looking up at this thing we realized it was moving really super slow instead of hanging out in mid air like we originally thought. We could now see it's triangular shape and the lights were not as I described above but rather, Two in front toward the outer tip of the wings and two toward the top center. And what looked like rope lighting around the outer perimeter.The lights definitely seemed to dim down as it was passing over us. My husband said there were a set of colored blinking lights on the under side, but I honestly didn't notice them. It was bigger than our truck (ext cab silverado) and made absolutely NO SOUND?! The whole time! That was the most amazing part... How something so big flying through the air could be so quiet? And there wasn't a moment during this amazing experience, where we felt scared or threatened in any way. It stayed a safe distance above us, about as low as a helicopter would fly when doing a traffic report. As it was passing over us it picked up a tremendous amount of speed. Almost like it noticed us watching it... (I know, let's not get crazy) Then it took off straight toward St. Louis (East) then shot up ward at an angle toward the SE. Within seconds it was out of sight. Even though it was about 11pm on a Tuesday, there was a Blues game and Cardinal game that just let out... So the highways were far from empty.

Date of sighting: April 26, 2016 Location of sighting: Volcano Popocatepetl, Mexico This UFO was caught over a volcano in Mexico last month. The UFO shoots directly over the mouth of the volcano as if it were beaming people up or down, then leaves. This is not a passenger jet, because no pilot would be foolish enough to endanger its passengers by flying directly over the mouth of a live volcano the suddenly explodes unpredictably miles in to the air every few weeks.

Investigative Look Into Beliefs About UFOs and Aliens
Investigative Look Into Beliefs About UFOs and Aliens
A man claimed a UFO abducted him while going back to home from work in Arizona about 41 years ago.
The man is Travis Walton, who reappeared five days after his apparent abduction on November 5, 1975.
Now, an upcoming photo book, “Phenomena,” featured Walton and other people that have a connection in several UFO sighting reports. The book offers an investigative look into beliefs of Americans about UFOs and aliens. Danish photographers Tobias Selnaes Markussen, Sara Galbiati, and Peter Helles Eriksen created it.
Galbiati said that they just had a mutual interest in the subject matter. They don’t make the project as being believers or how they believe in UFOs, but more on telling the buyers of the book that there was a group of people that believed so much in UFOs and aliens that they saw the world completely different than most individuals.
The images for the book were all shot last year in New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada, including Area 51, the highly guarded U.S. Air Force facility, located in the remote area, near the town of Rachel in Nevada.
Galbiati said that all areas that they visited had some meaning or significance, including Phoenix, where a supposed UFO sighting, known as the Phoenix Lights, was reported on 13th of March 1997.
Galbiati also revealed that in Denmark or Europe, the thing is taboo. He explained that if people believe in UFOs in those areas, they keep it to themselves. He added that the matter isn’t something people go around and talking because the majority will think that individuals who discuss it are mad.
However, in America, according to Galbiati, they were more understanding as people respect the belief of others. It’s almost like a religion wherein people won’t judge the believers, added Galbiati.
Leading Scientists believe that they may have discovered another alternate Universe on the outer edge of the Universe we live in, making this quite possibly one of the biggest discoveries yet for mankind.
After hours of studying intense amounts of data in California it now appears that a new Universe has been discovered beyond our own (well the one we live in). New Scientist were actually the first guys to report on the findings of Ranga-Ram Chary – He studied the data of the European Space Agency’s Planck telescope at its offices at CalTech in California, and he has released his extremely interesting findings.
Through some rather intense studies, he has now discovered another universe which is quite literally bumping into ours with its very own set of physics. This sounds a little crazy and unbelievable but this is all a 100% official information.
This has to be one of the most important finds ever out in space and could also pretty much prove that there is life out there – even though this is something we already know – many of us have seen the truth with ourvery own eyes!
A whole new Universe(s) out there
A parallel universe could definitely mean life does exist elsewhere. This is not some made up Science Fiction story, but the actual results of some serious research which has been conducted over many years.
Scientists are discovering more and more out there in space in recent years, but I guess this finding is going to be one of the most important out of them all. This turns fantasy into FACT!
But the big question is will they, the guys in the know tell us the truth about what they really know??
It was during his studies that Chary discovered the strange “mysterious glow” which could actually be an alternate universe leaking into our very own Universe that we live in. Chary accidentally come across this discovery while studying the data of the cosmic wave background at the edge of our universe.
This intriguing find has been compared to bubbles bumping into one another.
Bubble like Universe ?
The tweet that confirmed the significant find by Chary:
An interesting way of looking at this exciting find is to consider the time that our Universe was created bumped against another universe, and that alternate universe left behind its mark. UK newspaper The ‘Daily Mail’ released the comments made by Chary in his recent study:
“The fine tuning of parameters in the early universe required to reproduce our present day universe suggests that our universe may simply be a region within an eternally inflating super-region. ‘Many other regions beyond our observable universe would exist with each such region governed by a different set of physical parameters than the ones we have measured for our universe.” He said.
Chary expects a lot of negative criticism over his recent find (something us truth seekers are used to) and he admits that it may be difficult to prove. He noted in his recent study:
“Unusual claims like evidence for alternate universes require a very high burden of proof.”
Credit where credit is due, Chary has created an awful lot of interest in his discovery , with many leading Scientists reaching out to him to give their views and opinions.
One of the Scientists that are full of positivity was Jens Chluba of the University of Cambridge thinks there is something to Chary’s finding. Chluba said:
” To explain the signals that Dr Chary found with the cosmological recombination radiation, one needs a large enhancement in the number of [other particles] relative to photons. In the realm of alternative universes, this is entirely possible. I am certain he made every effort to ensure that the analysis is solid. It will be important to carry out an independent analysis and confirm his finding.”
There are those that are very dubious about this find, especially after last year Scientists thought they had discovered a new Universe, but later on discovered that it was just signals coming from our own Universe.
At this moment in time it is not possible to confirm whether another Universe has been discovered or not, but one thing is for sure these are extremely exciting times and we are on the edge of a new awakening for the Human Race!
Hunting For New Dimensions From Land – CERN
The LHC machine at CERN risks opening up Portals to the ‘unknown’
Whilst some Scientists are looking out towards the edges of space to confirm the existence of other Parallel Dimensions, the researchers at CERN working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are getting closer to finding a parallel universe and other Dimensions as well. Data that has been collected since June is now being studied. The LHC is focusing on miniature black holes that could mean that multiple universes exist.
“Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects (breath and length) can exist in a third dimension (height), parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions. We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.” Said Mir Faizal from the University of Waterloo who spoke with Daily Mail about the work the LHC is doing.
Please check out the interesting video below covering the search for other Dimensions:
The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 miles) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. Many people believe, including Professor Stephen Hawking that the Large Hadron Collider is not just a risk to humanity, but a risk to the entire Universe.
Perhaps the Scientists don’t just want to learn about other Dimensions and alternate Universe, perhaps they want to see them with their very own eyes – but at what risk?
U.I.P SUMMARY – Some might say that the human race has some what become obsessed with other Dimensions and parallel Universe. We are not just looking through the lens of powerful space telescopes to the outer limits of the Universe we are also looking to create ‘in some way’ our very own ‘Stargate’ in the LHC machine situated in CERN. Perhaps the scientists have been informed by a superior race of Beings about how to travel beyond our own time and existence, it has been rumoured that the LHC is based on Alien Technology – whether fact or fiction this level of technology is like something out of a Sci-Fi movie.
Perhaps there are other universes out there which developed in exactly the same way ours has but with completely different outcomes, otherwise know as ‘Alternate Universes) – PERHAPS in an infinite universe which lies within many more infinite Universe (impossible to imagine beyond infinity right?) there are worlds with duplications of ourselves but NOT ourselves – this can be the same for other Dimensions theories, similar worlds but with different outcomes!
Whether or not another universe has indeed been discovered or not, our world leaders have become obsessed with what lies beyond – perhaps they want to learn about where our ET visitors are coming from!?
Scientists are reaching further and learning more about the universe. As technology continues to develop, scientists will learn even more. It is a matter of time. Perhaps there are Star Wars type wars going on out there in deep space, and ‘Avatar’ type worlds out there – Science is proving every week now that anything is impossible in an infinite Universe(s).
VIDEODe interne structuur van een piramide kent nog vele geheimen maar een nieuwe techniek brengt daar nu drastisch verandering in. Met behulp van kosmische stralen worden de gangenstelsels eindelijk volledig blootgelegd en dat is van onschatbare waarde.
De onderzoekers pasten de techniek voor de eerste keer toe op de piramide van Snofroe op 40 km van Caïro en de resultaten van de blauwdruk waren "uitstekend" volgens minister van Antiquiteiten Khaled El-Enany.
Muonen De technologie maakt gebruik van kosmische stralen of muonen die vanuit de atmosfeer continu op de aarde vallen en zich een weg door een object kunnen banen net zoals röntgenstralen onze botten in kaart brengen. Door platen te installeren in één van de kamers van het eeuwenoude bouwwerk kunnen de muonen gedetecteerd worden. Daarna gaan de experten na welke richting de verschillende muonen uitgaan.
Scannen Dit stelt de archeologen in staat om het hele gangenstelsel en de afzonderlijke kamers te reconstrueren zonder het risico op beschadiging van het interieur. Zo hebben de onderzoekers de volledige piramide van Snofroe kunnen scannen nadat de platen veertig dagen werden blootgesteld aan de muonen. Hierdoor is aan het licht gekomen dat de farao Snofroe toch niet begraven ligt in een geheime kamer zoals eerder werd verondersteld.
Cheops Vervolgens is de beroemde piramide van Cheops aan de beurt. De onderzoekers zullen daar de techniek van de muonen toepassen in combinatie met warmtetechnologie en infrarood-3D-scanners. Worden nieuwe ruimtes ontdekt of niet? De tijd zal het moeten uitwijzen. Maar spannend is het in ieder geval wel.

Egyptisch Atlantis: Verloren steden geven na meer dan 1000 jaar geheimen bloot
Egyptisch Atlantis: Verloren steden geven na meer dan 1000 jaar geheimen bloot
Tot 2001 werden twee van de meest bijzondere Egyptische steden als verloren beschouwd. Toen kwam de Franse archeoloog Franck Goddio, die een uitzonderlijke ontdekking deed op de zeebodem.
Meer dan 1000 jaar lag Thonis-Heracleion verborgen onder het wateroppervlak. In de resten van machtige tempels woonden vissen en hiërogliefen werden bedekt met alg. Het kostte Goddio meerdere jaren om de stad te verkennen.
Nijlgod Hapy (Franck Goddio)
Hij ontdekte ook Canopus, die in 1933 werd herontdekt door een Britse legerpiloot. De bijzondere vondsten zijn binnenkort te zien in het British Museum. De expositie Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost Worldstart 19 mei. Volgens curator Aurelia Masson-Berghoff worden enkele van de grootste archeologische mysteries ontrafeld.
Thonis-Heracleion en Canopus zijn waarschijnlijk zo rond 700 voor Christus gesticht en fungeerden als handelsknooppunt tussen het oude Egypte, Griekenland en het Middellandse Zeegebied.
Als gevolg van een aantal natuurlijke fenomenen, waaronder een stijgende zeespiegel en aardbevingen, werden de steden verzwolgen door de zee. In de ruïnes zijn veel standbeelden van Ptolemaïsche goden gevonden. Dat waren menselijke versies van een zeer oude Egyptische god, de heilige stier Osiris-Apis. Die werd in Griekenland Serapis genoemd.
Tijdens de expositie worden een aantal van deze Grieks-Macedonische heersers die afgebeeld staan als Egyptische farao’s getoond. Het grootste voorwerp is een standbeeld van Nijlgod Hapy, die werd gezien als de bron van het leven voor heel Egypte. Het standbeeld is bijna vijf meter hoog en weegt ongeveer zes ton.
Een tablet met hiërogliefen dat te zien zal zijn (Franck Goddio)
Goddio ontdekte ook 69 schepen op de zeebodem, de ‘grootste verzameling boten ooit gevonden’. “Wat je moet weten is dat slechts vijf procent is opgegraven,” benadrukt de curator. “Ze hebben veel materiaal achtergelaten.”

A California witness at Inglewood reported watching a triangle UFO that made no sound, according to testimony in Case 76010 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness and his wife and two kids were outside talking at 8:30 p.m. on April 23, 2016, when the incident occurred.

“Suddenly saw a triangular-shaped object with lights almost a yellowish tone,” the witness stated.“The object was gliding on a straight line going west.”
The object was immediately unusual.
“The object was apparently close or too big and there was no kind of noise produced by the flying object that was flying at approximately at 50 mph.”
The triangle-shaped object made no noise. Pictured: Inglewood, California. (Credit: Google)
The witness believes the object was not man-made.
“To my wife and I there was no doubt what we were witnessing was a non-man-made airplane or drone. The object we were looking at was way too fast and big. The object looked nothing like a drone, airplane or helicopter. This object was flat and produced no noise, almost like the object was trying to sneak through the sky.”
The object startled the witness and his wife.
“I was in shock and couldn’t react fast enough to capture the object on video and my wife was so excited as well. She did try to take a picture, but the picture was unsuccessful. All the lights from the neighborhood were too bright and the cellphone camera didn’t capture the object, or at least we can’t tell if it is there or not. The flying source simply disappeared before our eyes continuing its way to the west exactly in direction to the LAX leaving us speechless and with the certainty that what we both witnessed was a once in a life time experience.”
The object did not look like anything the witness was familiar with. Pictured: Inglewood, California. (Credit: Google)
Inglewood is a city in southwestern Los Angeles County, population 109,673.
California MUFON Field Investigator Earl Anderson is investigating. The witness included one illustration with the report, which was filed on April 24, 2016. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
Utah witness recounts UFO encounter near military base
Utah witness recounts UFO encounter near military base
A Utah witness at Dugway recalled a UFO incident from 1992 when he and two friends approached an object hovering 20 feet over the roadway, according to testimony in Case 75923 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
Three witnesses came upon a UFO hovering just 20 feet over the roadway near Dugway, Utah, in 1992. Pictured: Dugway Proving Ground. (Credit: Google)
The reporting witness and two friends were invited by a mutual friend to go bowling on June 15, 1992.
“She was living with her grandparents in Dugway on the military base,” the witness stated.“We started driving out towards Dugway in late afternoon. Just before dark we crossed Johnson pass, which is a small mountain pass just before a long straight road leading up to the army base.”
The witness was riding with two friends.
“I was in the front passenger seat. My friend Jeremy was driving. And Ryan was in the back seat of the car.”
The group noticed something ahead of them in the roadway.
“As we dropped down out of the pass and started across the small valley we noticed something stretched across the road. As we came within about half a mile from the object we discussed what we each thought it looked like.”
As the witnesses approached the UFO, it changed shape and moved quickly away. (Credit: Google)
The three tried to guess what they were seeing.
“I said, ‘It looks like a big piece of plastic or a parachute because the edges of the object were kind of fluttering around on the edges, but it can’t be because it’s standing about 20 feet high off the road.’ It also had a white light that was either coming from behind or from inside of the object. I didn’t see any direct light. It seemed to be all indirect.”
The three continued to drive toward the object.
“When we reached a distance of about 100 yards, my friend slowed down and stopped the car. Just as we opened the doors, the object changed shape! It quickly changed into a cone shape. The white light brightened and then streaked straight up with a popping sound scattering dirt and rocks out from the area. The craft left our sight almost instantly and didn’t return. Both of my friends saw all of these things as well. We all kind of talked about what had happened after that, but never since!”
Dugway is about 85 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utha. (Credit: Google)
Dugway is in Tooele County, Utah, population 2,016. “Dugway” is synonymous with the United States Army’s giant testing facility, Dugway Proving Ground. The housing area designated for military and civilian personnel is referred to as “English Village.”The name “Dugway” comes from a technique to dig a trench along a hillside to keep a wagon from tipping.

I love how this video catches the movement of the UFO. Its not often you get to see one move around without the camera bouncing up and down. This object moves smoothly across the sky and seems to be illuminated by the moon light. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: Our country is no stranger to unidentified sightings and unexplained lights in the sky. For months now random alleged 'extra-terrestrial' activities have been reported and this footage is the most bizarre from KZN. A teenage girl from Chatsworth - Mechille Mudaly, filmed what seems to be a bright light in motion in the sky around. At a glance it seems like a street light, but when you look closer - you notice that the bright light gets brighter and it's moving.

What you are looking at was filmed with a converted camcorder with a infrared lens on it, but shot during the daytime. These special camcorders let the person film in the day, not the night. You see, even in the day our eyes cannot see infrared light, but this covered camera combined with the lens can. Very amazing catch, and we see the incredible speed of the UFO as it hovers in front of the nose of the passenger jet...taking its time, before it shoots away.

UFO Hunter Claims He Discovered Artificial Structures in Huge Cities On Venus
UFO Hunter Claims He Discovered Artificial Structures in Huge Cities On Venus
At least in the eyes of some UFO hunters, aliens aren’t just building structures on Mars. Recently published images of Venus seem to show artificial structures in large cities, as well as other elements.
According to one researcher, some kind of alien race created the buildings.
YouTube user and alien hunter mundodesconocido posted a video discussing the large cities he discovered while examining the collection of photos.
He also made 3D models of the visible structures.
He speculated in the video that the bizarre shapes are artificial, and they appear to be cities with elements that emit light.
Mundodesconocido tours viewers to the so-called great city on Venus, showing somewhat raised structures across the planet that he believes to be alien apartment complexes. However, skeptics would say that they are just craters on the surface.
These images in the video came from the Magellan probe that was launched to Venus in 1989 and arrived a little over a year later. Its missions were to study chemical processes, planet’s interior, land forms and tectonics, deposition, erosion, and impact processes.
Doubters argue that those protruding structures, which were referred to as huge cities, are just the result of the volcanic flows on 85 percent of the Venus’ surface.
Here’s one older footage of a two bright objects flying across the sky above Ridley Park in Pennsylvania. This happened in July 2012 and it was just recently submitted to MUFON.
Witness report:I hail from the town of Ridley Park which is 10 miles to the South of Philadelphia and about 2 miles from the Philadelphia International Airport. Back around the 4th of July holiday in 2012 I was having a small pool party with some friends and as the night progressed I had broken off from the main group of friends and was just catching up with 2 buddies of mine. We will call them Bill and Jake. Bill is a mechanic at the airport and Jake is in the Army National Guard. It was roughly 1130pm EST as we were talking on my back deck when a light caught my eye in the sky. I motioned for both of them to glance up and the 3 of us stood there in complete confusion as we watched this amber light moving East to West across the sky. The altitude would be hard to guess, but I would say it was between 10,000-20,000 feet basing it off typical air traffic living next to the airport. The amber light moved from West to East and then hooked North directly towards the city of Philadelphia as we lost sight of it over the trees. We immediately muttered some choice words to the effect of what the heck was that as there was no sound and even with planes at typical cruising altitude around here we can still hear them. As we continued to discuss what we just saw another light appeared from the same direction almost identical altitude (from the best we could tell) and it made the same turn towards the city. The light itself was solid in color. No flickering, no blinking or flashing, and no dimming. The amber light held strong in intensity the entire time and the second one did as well which is odd considering given its flight path we would have seen it from the front, the bottom, and then the back. Now some back story. I myself am a house painter by day and an amateur astronomer by night. I have seen satellites, meteors, the whole nine yards and nothing could compare to what I had just witnessed. Also, this was the first year I was not doing my annual fireworks display up in the mountains so I have seen my share of pyrotechnics and aerial flares. So to me it was not a plane (as I see them daily at all altitudes and flight patterns which this one did not follow), not anything astronomical by any means, not a helicopter (altitude appeared to be too high and the light did not fit any helicopter I have ever seen military or civilian), and not a Chinese lantern as I have witnessed these set off as well. Bill immediately concluded that it was nothing he had ever seen before at the airport or anything that made sense in terms of a civilian or commercial aircraft and Jake chimed in with it not being anything military that he had ever seen. So we sat there stumped and staring at the sky hoping for one more pass by another object, but there was nothing. I feel the need to mention as well considering I said I was having a party. my only vice is smoking cigarettes (I do not drink or use any other mind altering substances). A few days later I was catching up with my cousin who had told me previously while in a golf outing in the mountains about a UFO sighting he had before. So I figured I would share my story with him. He was relieved he wasn’t the only person he knew to had seen something he could not explain. I described the object in detail just as I have above and he compared his story to mine and the differences between what we saw. We talked about the only wildcard which we both admittedly knew nothing about being a drone or some type of UAV. If I remember correctly this is around the time when the government started using them stateside a lot more frequently, but still if the idea is for them not to be seen then why have a light on it that is so bright. Fast track to about September 2012 I get a call from my cousin who was in touch with me over the weekend as he was up looking for some dark skies for a photography session in the mountains trying to shoot the milky way (photography is his hobby and he is quite good at it). He was on his way home coming down 76 East (PA Turnpike) somewhere between Elizabeth Town, Pa and Morgantown, Pa when a light caught his eye. He reached for his Nikon DSLR and began filming while he was driving. The light he was filming was moving with him and it fit the same description as I had mentioned above. At one point while driving the light moved so abruptly it caused him to jerk the camera completely to the side window to keep it in the shot. He then pulled over to the side of the highway deciding it was better and safer to film from the side of the road than continue to do so while driving. Once he pulled over his memory card was full sadly and he was not able to continue to film the object anymore. Which he regrets because the object was then joined by 3 more lights of the same description and they continued moving in the same direction in what he described as a staggered column until they were out of view. Obviously what is not filmed can be taken with a grain of salt by any investigator or person looking into a video, but to me he has no reason to lie.
First Autonomous, Human-Sized Drone Will be Used for Organ Deliveries
First Autonomous, Human-Sized Drone Will be Used for Organ Deliveries
Ehang
IN BRIEF
The company behind the world's first autonomous drone for humans has just announced that it will be used to eventually automate the organ delivery system.
SPECIAL DELIVERY
When the 184 was first unveiled in January, there was a lot of speculation regarding whatEHang’s human-sized drone, capable of transporting a passenger over 10 miles at up to 65 miles per hour, was going to be used for. While drone enthusiasts were looking forward to the Chinese manufacturer actually bringing its impressive machine to the market, others wondered if it was merely a promotional machine that would ultimately bring more attention to the company’s future fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
However, today the company announced that the quadcopter is actually going to serve a very practical cause—delivering organs to transplant patients.
ADMIRABLE PURPOSE
In partnership with Lung Biotechnology PBC, the 184 will be customized so that it can efficiently transport organs swiftly. The company is set to purchase and develop up to 1,000 units, with the intention of using it to automate the organ transplant delivery system.
The plan is part of the Manufactured Organ Transport Helicopter (MOTH) system—a 15 year plan that is still in its early stages, but could one day see contributing to hundreds of organs deliveries on a daily basis.
“The well-known locations of transplant hospitals and future organ manufacturing facilities makes the EHang technology ideal for Highway-In-The-Sky (HITS) and Low-Level IFR Route (LLIR) programs,” said Martine Rothblatt, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Lung Biotechnology. “We anticipate delivering hundreds of organs a day, which means that the MOTH system will help save not only tens of thousands of lives, but also many millions of gallons of aviation transport gasoline annually.”

A long time ago in a studio far, far away, filmmaker George Lucas created one of the seminal works of science fiction: the "Star Wars" movie series.
Nearly 40 years later, the ideas introduced by the films are still staples of the genre, and with new installments of the series set to hit theaters in the coming years, fans will be pleased to see lightsabers, hyperdrives and speeders in abundance.
While the science and technologies behind the franchise are firmly rooted in fantasy, their enduring appeal has served as inspiration for many real-life scientists and engineers. Here are some of the most notable attempts to turn "Star Wars'" science fiction into science fact.

NASA's Kepler mission discovered a world, called Kepler-16b, where two suns set over the horizon, just like "Star Wars'" Tatooine.
"To me, the most important thing about 'Star Wars' is the idea that humans' future is in space,” said British science communicator Mark Brake, who put on a show called "The Science of Star Wars" last year. "Effectively, what it's all about is trade and imperial development in a series of solar systems, and actually now we are beginning to discover these solar systems."
More than 2,000 exoplanets have now been found, and in 2011, NASA's Kepler space telescope discovered the first planet orbiting around two suns, just like Luke Skywalker's fictional home planet Tatooine. The planet, dubbed Kepler-16b, is an uninhabitable gas giant, but in 2012, the telescope was used to discover two more planets in binary star systems that are extremely close to the so-called habitable zone. (This is the region around a star in which liquid water could flow on a planet's surface.)

In the films, spaceships like Han Solo's Millennium Falcon are able to jet between solar systems that are light-years apart. According to "Star Wars" canon, these "hyperdrive" propulsion systems let intergalactic travelers jump into a shadow dimension called "hyperspace," which provides shortcuts between points in real space.
While the movies are hazy on the details, the idea of hyperspace and faster-than-light (FTL) travel has a basis in real science, said Eric Davis, a physicist at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin, in Texas, who researches the possibility of FTL travel.
While it's impossible to travel faster than light, the curved nature of space-time proposed by Albert Einstein suggests space could be distorted to shorten the distance between two points. One way of doing this would be a warp drive that contracts space in front of a ship and expands it behind the vessel. Another would be to create a wormhole, or a section of space that curves in on itself to create a shortcut between distant locations. Creating these kinds of distortions would require exotic matter with so-called "negative energy," Davis told Live Science, a phenomenon that has been demonstrated in the lab using the Casimir effect, which can be measured as the force of attraction or repulsion between two parallel mirrors that are placed just tiny distances apart in a vacuum. [Warped Physics: 10 Effects of Faster-Than-Light Travel]
Earlier this year, a lab called Eagleworks, based at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, claimed to have created a warp drive that appears to exploit this effect to create spatial distortions in a vacuum. But, sadly for sci-fi fans, the lab's unpublished findings have been met with skepticism. And Davis, an FTL optimist, called the claims "bizarre and questionable."
"These remain as speculative theoretical concepts at present because they remain under further theoretical study and also because there is no technology envisioned that can implement them," he said. "It might take between 50 and 300 years to develop the technology that produces traversable wormholes or warp drives."
Speeders
A less conceptually troublesome mode of transport featured in "Star Wars" is likely a lot closer to being realized. A number of firms are currently trying to create working versions of "hoverbikes," known as "speeders" in the films.

Aerofex, a California-based startup company, developed the Aero-X vehicle, which is described as "a hovercraft that rides like a motorcycle," and can fly at 45 mph (72 km/h) up to 10 feet (3 meters) off the ground. For speed demons, U.K.-based Malloy Aeronautics' Hoverbike is projected to reach speeds of more than 170 mph (274 km/h) at the same altitude as a helicopter.
Both Aerofex and Malloy Aeronautics' hoverbikes use standard gasoline, but environmentally conscious "Star Wars" fans could soon have futuristic transportation alternatives, too. Bay Zoltan Nonprofit Ltd., a Hungarian state-owned applied research institute, has created an electric battery-powered tricopter called the Flike. Before you get your hopes up, though, all three vehicles are still firmly in the design phase.
Droids

Another ever-present feature of the "Star Wars" universe are droids, which are robots that act as personal servants, pilots, technicians and even soldiers. Today, there are a growing number of analogies in the real world, ranging from automated military drones to Google's driverless cars and robotic surgical assistants. [The 6 Strangest Robots Ever Created]
This summer, robots competed in the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robotics Challenge Finals. The humanoid robots tackled complex challenges, including driving a vehicle, opening a door, climbing steps and turning off a valve.
The majority of the bots performed well in the competition, but these machines were only semiautonomous, meaning a human operator was almost constantly in control of the robot. So, while the machinery of modern robotics can match the clunky "Star Wars" droids, there's a long way to go in making real robots as smart, said Jerry Pratt, an expert in algorithms for bipedal walking and co-leader of the Florida-based Institute for Human and Machine Cognition's team, which competed in the Robotics Challenge Finals, winning second place.
"The hard part is the artificial intelligence," Pratt told Live Science. "We're getting to the point where sensory-input devices are nearly as good [as], if not better than human sight. But [having the robots] actually understanding what [they] are looking at is what's difficult. It's small things like being able to look at a cup and understand what a cup is and understand that it's something you put liquid in. Unless it is hand-coded by a human, we are pretty much nowhere at this point, and it's hard to say what needs to happen."
Lightsabers

The most iconic piece of "Star Wars" technology is the lightsaber, but it's also probably the most far-fetched, experts say. The photons that make up light have long been considered massless particles that don't interact with each other, which makes the prospect of clashing beams of light in epic lightsaber duels unlikely.
In 2013, however, researchers from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) demonstrated that when pairs of photons were fired through a cloud of supercooled atoms, the photons emerged as a single molecule. Talking about the interaction between the particles to the Harvard Gazette, Mikhail Lukin, a professor of physics at Harvard, said, "It's not an inapt analogy to compare this to lightsabers." [Infographic: Secrets of the Jedi Lightsaber]
But Davis said re-creating the effect in real life is a whole other ball game. "Lightsabers are purely fictional and will never be developed," he said. "Using the contraptions and cryogenic equipment to produce trapped quantum gases 2 feet [0.6 m] from the end of a lightsaber emitter is impractical."
But all is not lost when it comes to light-based weapons: Scientists are close to developing weapons similar to the blaster guns featured in "Star Wars." In fact, the U.S. Navy has already demonstrated a ship-based laser weaponcapable of shooting drones out of the sky and disabling small boats. And this summer, the U.S. Air Force began testing another laser-based weapon that is five times as powerful as the Navy's version, and small enough to be fitted to fighter jets and Humvees.
Tractor beams

Light could also help replicate another interesting technology from the "Star Wars" franchise: the tractor beam, which is an invisible energy field that can grab, trap and move objects. Since the early 2010s, scientists have been creating lasers with unusual beam-intensity profiles that allow them to attract and repulse tiny particles.
Just last year, researchers from the Australian National University broke the distance record for tractor beams by using a doughnut-shaped laser to drag hollow, glass spheres for up to 7.8 inches (20 centimeters), roughly 100 times further than in previous experiments.
And just a couple months ago, a team from the University of Bristol, in the United Kingdom, showed that sound could rival light as the source of future tractor beams. The researchers used a precisely timed sequence of sound waves from an array of tiny loudspeakers to create a region of low pressure that effectively counteracts gravity, levitating tiny balls of polystyrene in midair. The balls could then be pulled, pushed and spun using only sound waves.
Holograms
Researchers from Hewlett-Packard Laboratories have developed holographic display technology for mobile devices. The images are not only three-dimensional but show objects from different angles.

When you're trapped in the tractor beam of an Imperial Star Destroyer and facing certain doom, there's no better way of sending a mayday message than via hologram. But while specially designed glasses have been used to create the illusion of 3D images for decades, free-standing holographic videos have been hard to reproduce.
In recent years, an old stage trick invented by John Pepper in the 19th century to give the illusion of a ghostlike apparition on stage has been revived, most notably to seemingly resurrect deceased rapper Tupac Shakur at the Coachella music festival in 2012. The method relies on a superthin sheet of foil hung at a 45-degree angle from the stage that is invisible to the naked eye but reflects images from a projector. The trick gives the illusion of a 3D image but only if you are standing in front of it.
Closer to the mark is the Voxiebox "swept surface volumetric display" made by Voxon, the result of a merger between two groups of Australian and American inventors. 3D models are sliced into hundreds of horizontal cross sections before a superfast projector beams them onto a flat screen that rapidly moves up and down. The human eye blends these projections together to create a 3D image that can move and be viewed from any angle, just like during Princess Leia's message to Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope."
The Force

Binding the entire "Star Wars" universe together is the concept of the Force, which gives Jedi knights their magical powers and provides the backdrop for the battle between good and evil.
Earlier this year, researchers at the Large Hadron Collider announced they had discovered the first unequivocal evidence for the phenomenon, with a certain diminutive green spokesperson remarking, "Very impressive, this result is." Sadly for those aspiring Jedi out there, it was an elaborate April Fools' Day prank.
But, with the Force due to awaken later this month, there may be hope for them yet.
FBI RELEASED A DOCUMENTS PROVING ADOLF HITLER AND EVA BRAUN FLED TO ARGENTINA IN A SUBMARINE
FBI RELEASED A DOCUMENTS PROVING ADOLF HITLER AND EVA BRAUN FLED TO ARGENTINA IN A SUBMARINE
The FBI.gov website reveals the government knew Hitler was alive and well, and living in the Andes Mountains long after World War II had ended.
The world has been told for the last 70 years that on April 30 1945, Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker. His body was discovered and identified by the Soviets before being taken back to Russia. Is it possible that the Soviets lied all this time, and that history was rewritten? With the release of these FBI documents, it certainly seems that the most notorious leader in history escaped Germany and lived a peaceful life in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in South America. And as if that news wasn’t bizarre enough, a photo has emerged recently which purports to show an elderly 95-year-old Hitler posing with his girlfriend in Brazil in 1984.
FBI: HITLER FLED IN SUBMARINE
Red Flag News reports:
Recently released FBI documents are beginning to show that not only was Hitler and Eva Braun’s suicide faked, the infamous pair might have had help from the director of the OSS himself, Allen Dulles.
In one FBI document from Los Angles, it is revealed that the agency was well aware of a mysterious submarine making its way up the Argentinian coast dropping off high level Nazi officials. What is even more astonishing is the fact that the FBI knew he was in fact living in the foothills of the Andes.
Who is the Mysterious Informant?
In a Los Angeles letter to the Bureau in August of 1945, an unidentified informant agreed to exchange information for political asylum. What he told agents was stunning.
The informant not only knew Hitler was in Argentina, he was one of the confirmed four men who had met the German submarine. Apparently, two submarines had landed on the Argentinian coast, and Hitler with Eva Braun was on board the second.
The Argentinian government not only welcomed the former German dictator, but also aided in his hiding. The informant went on to not only give detailed directions to the villages that Hitler and his party had passed through, but also credible physical details concerning Hitler.
While for obvious reasons the informant is never named in the FBI papers, he was credible enough to be believed by some agents.
The FBI Tried to Hide Hitler’s Whereabouts.
Even with a detailed physical description and directions the FBI still did not follow up on these new leads. Even with evidence placing the German sub U-530 on the Argentinian coast shortly before finally surrounding, and plenty of eye witness accounts of German official being dropped off, no one investigated.
Even More Evidence is Found:
Along with the FBI documents detailing an eye witness account of Hitler’s whereabouts in Argentina, more evidence is coming to light to help prove that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun did not die in that bunker.
In 1945, the Naval Attaché in Buenos Aires informed Washington there was a high probability that Hitler and Eva Braun had just arrived in Argentina. This coincides with the sightings of the submarine U-530. Added proof comes in the form of newspaper articles detailing the construction of a Bavarian styled mansion in the foothills of the Andes Mountains.
Further proof comes in the form of architect Alejandro Bustillo who wrote about his design and construction of Hitler’s new home which was financed by earlier wealthy German immigrants.
Irrefutable Evidence that Hitler Escaped:
Perhaps the most damming evidence that Hitler did survive the fall of Germany lies in Russia. With the Soviet occupation of Germany, Hitler’s supposed remains were quickly hidden and sent off to Russia, never to be seen again. That is until 2009, when an archeologist from Connecticut State, Nicholas Bellatoni was allowed to perform DNA testing on one of the skull fragments recovered.
What he discovered set off a reaction through the intelligence and scholarly communities. Not only did the DNA not match any recorded samples thought to be Hitler’s, they did not match Eva Braun’s familiar DNA either. So the question is, what did the Soviets discover in the bunker, and where is Hitler?
Even former general and President Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote to Washington.
It was not only General Eisenhower who was concerned over Hitler’s compete disappearance, Stalin also expressed his concerns. In 1945, the Stars and Stripes newspaper quoted then General Eisenhower as believing that the real possibility existed of Hitler living safely and comfortably in Argentina.
Is it Possible?
With all of the new found evidence coming to light, it is possible and even likely that not only did Hitler escape from Germany; he had the help of the international intelligence community. Released FBI documents prove that they were not only aware of Hitler’s presence in Argentina; they were also helping to cover it up.
It would not be the first time the OSS helped a high ranking Nazi official to escape punishment and capture. Look at the story of Adolf Eichmann who was located in Argentina in the 1960’s.
Did Hitler escape to Argentina? The answer is yes.
A 1968 photo taken during a Lunar Orbiter mission to the Moon shows what appears to be a spacecraft that is at least 10 miles (16 km) long resting inside the Crater Manlius.
The photo was the subject of a YouTube video (below) that was released on October 4 that shows various close ups and light contrasts of the apparent spacecraft.
Most of the object is well illuminated by the sun, but the rest is in the shadows of the crater which is approximately 20 miles (34 km) in diameter, what appears to be a spacecraft cockpit is in shadows.
According to an October 5 blog post on UFO Sightings Daily, the object is a UFO that was being secretly studied by NASA, and the real target for upcoming Apollo Moon missions.
Source: Lunar Orbiter Photo Gallery (Frame 3073)
The apparent spacecraft was photographed by Lunar Orbiter III (frame 3073) that was sent in 1967 to map the moon for future Apollo missions.
Prior to its October 2014 “rediscovery,” the UFO in the photo was discovered in October 2007 and discussed on an online forum where the consensus was that it was a spacecraft of some kind.
One possible explanation of the object is that it is an optical illusion based on a depression in the crater, rather than a large spacecraft resting on the crater’s surface.
The contours of the object as it meets the shadow cast by the sun from the crater’s rim, however, appears to rule out such an explanation.
What is perhaps even more solid evidence of something artificial on the moon’s surface in the same Lunar Orbiter photo is what appears to be the remains of a road that is approximately 60 miles (100 km) long on the moon’s surface.
The apparent road is surprisingly straight and covers the entire width of the Orbiter photo suggesting it is even longer. This suggests that it is not a natural depression on the lunar surface.
Even more surprisingly, the roadway was not discussed in either the YouTube video (above video) or the UFO Sightings Daily BlogSpot.
The object captured by the Lunar Orbiter III does appear to be a huge spacecraft that is at least 10 miles long resting on the surface of the Crater Manlius, rather than an optical illusion from a depression in the crater.
A possibility of artificial structures on the moon that is harder to dismiss is what appears to be the remains of an ancient lunar highway that is at least 60 miles long.
On December 3, 2010, the recently deceased retired NORAD officer, Stanley Fulham, predicted a major wave of UFO sightings in Moscow in early-to-mid January.
After this incident by exactly a week later a major UFO wave struck in London. Fulham’s prediction raised great interest due to the fact that he had earlier success in predicting a major UFO sighting over New York City on October 13. What was specifically noteworthy about his earlier prediction was that the FAA radar facility responsible for three major airports in the New York City metropolitan area was shut down for an hour leading to flight delays.
Similar to many others, I paid more attention to his next prediction about UFOs in Moscow and London. There have been UFOs sightings in Moscow during period Fulham predicted, but to date these have only been reported by one source and been observed over one location. Nevertheless, this has led to one reporter declaring that Fulham’s prediction has been fulfilled.
In a recent article by, Alfred Webre, he wrote,
“A remarkable UFO wave over Moscow, Russia in early January 2011 has reportedly confirmed the predictions of an apparent regional galactic governance council that its interdimensional spacecraft would appear over Moscow Russia at that time.”
Webre listed eight youtube videos confirming the “remarkable UFO wave.”
Six of the videos are taken by one person, Oleg Tarabanov in the same location over the first two weeks of January. The seventh is of a hard to see object in an entirely different rural location; and the eighth UFO video has been removed and not available anymore.
The videos show two UFOS over an industrial area in Moscow.
Although there was the sighting of two UFOs yet it cannot be considered a full UFO wave and there was no confirmation regarding the sighting as neither the Russian general public nor media have reported UFO sightings in the period specified by Fulham.
This contrasts with the New York UFO October 13 event that was seen by thousands of witnesses and widely reported in the media.
Thus the question is, can this be considered a correct prediction according to the videos or is it another prediction failure of UFOs appearance?.
Of the latter possibility, Webre writes:
“The January 2011 apparent galactic governance UFO sightings over Moscow Russia undescore an apparent determination by the ET council to break the USA-Russia ‘conspiracy of silence’ around the extraterrestrial presence…”
In this reporter’s opinion, it is premature to declare Fulham’s prediction has been confirmed. Especially so if the goal was to break a US-Russian “conspiracy of silence.”
Perhaps, there is more to come in Moscow or a wave of UFOs will appear over London as Fulham predicted, in either case, the exopolitical significance of Fulham’s predictions will deservedly come under closer scrutiny.
Here’s something that I don’t believe anyone has commented on. The Roswell Report – Case Closed document issued through the Air Force and written by Captain James McAndrew is based on lies, and if that is the case, then the document is flawed and unreliable.
You might well ask, “What do you mean?”
First, in explaining that anthropomorphic dummies were responsible for the reports of bodies involved with the Roswell crash, McAndrew relies on statements made by our old pal, Jim Ragsdale. In fact, this becomes quite important in proving that the Air Force experiments with high altitude ejection systems and other tests were responsible for the tales of bodies being recovered. McAndrew wrote:
Jim Ragsdale.
Photo copyright by Kevin Randle
Testimony attributed to Ragsdale, who is deceased, states that he and a friend were camping one evening and saw something fall from the sky. The next morning, when they went to investigate, they saw a crash site:
“One part [of the craft] [brackets in McAndrew version] was kind of buried in the ground and one part of it was sticking our [out] of the ground.” “I’m sure that [there] was bodies… either bodies or dummies.” “The federal government could have been doing something they didn’t want anyone to know what this was. They was using dummies in those damned things… they could use remote control… but it was either dummies or bodies or something laying there. They looked like bodies. They were not very long… [not] over four or five feet long at the most. “We didn’t see their faces or nothing like that… we just gotten to the site and the Army… and all [was] coming and we got into a damned jeep and took off.”
This testimony [meaning Ragsdale’s statements] then describes an assortment of military vehicles used to recover the “bodies.”: “It was two or three six-by-six Army trucks a wrecker and everything. Leading the pack was a ’47 Ford car with guys in it… It was six or eight big trucks besides the pickup, weapons carriers and stuff like that.” Ragsdale also said that before he left the area he observed the military personnel “gathering stuff up” and “they cleaned everything up.”
…In his testimony, Ragsdale made numerous references to equipment vehicles, and procedures consistent with documented dummy recoveries for projects HIGH DIVE and EXCELSIOR. The repeated use of the term “dummy” and the witness’ own admission that “they was using dummies in those damned things” and “I’m sure that was bodies… either bodies or dummies” leaves little doubt that what he described was an anthropomorphic dummy recovery.
And that would be a powerful argument except for one fact. Ragsdale was lying. He hadn’t been out there, he hadn’t seen anything fall from the sky and he hadn’t seen dummies to be confused with alien bodies.
McAndrew goes on to explain, “If the witness was even a short distance from odd looking anthropomorphic dummies, it would be logical for him to believe, when interviewed 35 to 40 years after the event, that he ‘thought they were dummies or bodies or something.’
And I could go on; pointing out more mistakes in McAndrew’s attempt to convince us all that Ragsdale had seen one of these dummy recoveries, but why? Ragsdale was lying and McAndrew, when he wrote his report, could have found that out. In my book, also published in 1997, The Randle Report, I expose the Ragsdale tale for the lie that it is. I also detail how Max Littell had manipulated the story so that he would have something to talk about when reporters, researchers, and documentarians came to the museum in Roswell. Since my book and McAndrew’s were published in the same year, it would mean that we had access to the same information. McAndrew just didn’t bother to check to see if anything new had been learned about Ragsdale before creating his tale of anthropomorphic dummies.
Max Littell, closest to the camera, then Walter Haut and Don Schmitt.

To make it worse, William P. Barnett, writing in Crosswinds in August 1996, provides, in great detail, the various problems with the Ragsdale story. It is quite clear at that point that there is nothing of value here and that Ragsdale, with coaching from Littell, has changed the story. McAndrew, with the resources of the USAF behind him, should have been able to learn all about the Ragsdale tale. Since it is clearly untrue, it renders all the discussion about Project High Dive and Excelsior, anthropomorphic dummies, and government experimentation moot. The foundation of McAndrew’s theory, which is the Ragsdale nonsense, is erected on quicksand.
There are other problems as well. On page 46 of his report, McAndrew compares a drawing of a triangular-shaped object provided by Frank Kaufmann with “A tethered ‘Vee’ balloon shown… at Holloman AFB, N.M. in March 1965. This experimental balloon, is strikingly similar to the ‘alien’ craft.’”
Unfortunately for McAndrew, and something that he might have suspected when he wrote his book, Kaufmann was not telling the truth. It wasn’t until after 2000 that Kaufmann was exposed, thanks to the work of Mark Rodeghier, Mark Chesney and Don Schmitt. Given that, we can now say that his analysis of comparing the object drawn by Kaufmann to that launched at Holloman is in error as well.
Glenn Dennis
He also attacks the “missing nurse” story told by Glenn Dennis. The problem here, as it is with these other tales he uses is that the Dennis story is bogus as well. There is no missing nurse, information which was available in 1997 but McAndrew failed to find. Wouldn’t a stronger case be made by pointing this out rather than going off on the tangent that he does?
Maybe the most egregious error by McAndrew (and I’m being a bit generous here) is the illustration on page 6 that shows a long Mogul array. Although he suggests that the illustration is similar to the one found by Mack Brazel, it is actually from Mogul Flight No. 2 which had a configuration different than those used in New Mexico. He says nothing about that which is misleading at best.
What is given here is a report used to explain away the tales of bodies by suggesting government experiments in the 1950s. Had McAndrew done his homework, had he investigated all this rather than just read a bunch of books and official documents, he actually could have made a much stronger case. As it is, his argument fails because he used bogus information to support it.
Before anyone feels the need to point out that this sword cuts both ways, let me note that while Phil Klass and Karl Pflock rejected Ragsdale and Kaufmann, they did so only because they did not believe that anything alien fell near Roswell. They were right for the wrong reason, but it was those of us on the other side of the fence that worked to expose these people when we learned the truth. It would have been better had we known the truth before we promoted their tales and it took us a while to get to that point, but we did arrive at it… I have seen nothing from McAndrew acknowledging that his book was based on that same false information.

A UFO over Houston caught the eye of a person who goes by the name of Luckiie Dude on Youtube. He is living up to his name. This is a fantastic video of a glowing UFO over the Houston area. This giant disk had to have been seen by others in the area, but then again, sometimes people just don't look up. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Eyewitness states: I spotted this right over Downtown going in a horizontal pattern. The next day there was a NCAA blimp in the same sky. I'm confused. UFO or blimp?
Here’s one older footage of a two bright objects flying across the sky above Ridley Park in Pennsylvania. This happened in July 2012 and it was just recently submitted to MUFON.
Witness report:I hail from the town of Ridley Park which is 10 miles to the South of Philadelphia and about 2 miles from the Philadelphia International Airport. Back around the 4th of July holiday in 2012 I was having a small pool party with some friends and as the night progressed I had broken off from the main group of friends and was just catching up with 2 buddies of mine. We will call them Bill and Jake. Bill is a mechanic at the airport and Jake is in the Army National Guard. It was roughly 1130pm EST as we were talking on my back deck when a light caught my eye in the sky. I motioned for both of them to glance up and the 3 of us stood there in complete confusion as we watched this amber light moving East to West across the sky. The altitude would be hard to guess, but I would say it was between 10,000-20,000 feet basing it off typical air traffic living next to the airport. The amber light moved from West to East and then hooked North directly towards the city of Philadelphia as we lost sight of it over the trees. We immediately muttered some choice words to the effect of what the heck was that as there was no sound and even with planes at typical cruising altitude around here we can still hear them. As we continued to discuss what we just saw another light appeared from the same direction almost identical altitude (from the best we could tell) and it made the same turn towards the city. The light itself was solid in color. No flickering, no blinking or flashing, and no dimming. The amber light held strong in intensity the entire time and the second one did as well which is odd considering given its flight path we would have seen it from the front, the bottom, and then the back. Now some back story. I myself am a house painter by day and an amateur astronomer by night. I have seen satellites, meteors, the whole nine yards and nothing could compare to what I had just witnessed. Also, this was the first year I was not doing my annual fireworks display up in the mountains so I have seen my share of pyrotechnics and aerial flares. So to me it was not a plane (as I see them daily at all altitudes and flight patterns which this one did not follow), not anything astronomical by any means, not a helicopter (altitude appeared to be too high and the light did not fit any helicopter I have ever seen military or civilian), and not a Chinese lantern as I have witnessed these set off as well. Bill immediately concluded that it was nothing he had ever seen before at the airport or anything that made sense in terms of a civilian or commercial aircraft and Jake chimed in with it not being anything military that he had ever seen. So we sat there stumped and staring at the sky hoping for one more pass by another object, but there was nothing. I feel the need to mention as well considering I said I was having a party. my only vice is smoking cigarettes (I do not drink or use any other mind altering substances). A few days later I was catching up with my cousin who had told me previously while in a golf outing in the mountains about a UFO sighting he had before. So I figured I would share my story with him. He was relieved he wasn’t the only person he knew to had seen something he could not explain. I described the object in detail just as I have above and he compared his story to mine and the differences between what we saw. We talked about the only wildcard which we both admittedly knew nothing about being a drone or some type of UAV. If I remember correctly this is around the time when the government started using them stateside a lot more frequently, but still if the idea is for them not to be seen then why have a light on it that is so bright. Fast track to about September 2012 I get a call from my cousin who was in touch with me over the weekend as he was up looking for some dark skies for a photography session in the mountains trying to shoot the milky way (photography is his hobby and he is quite good at it). He was on his way home coming down 76 East (PA Turnpike) somewhere between Elizabeth Town, Pa and Morgantown, Pa when a light caught his eye. He reached for his Nikon DSLR and began filming while he was driving. The light he was filming was moving with him and it fit the same description as I had mentioned above. At one point while driving the light moved so abruptly it caused him to jerk the camera completely to the side window to keep it in the shot. He then pulled over to the side of the highway deciding it was better and safer to film from the side of the road than continue to do so while driving. Once he pulled over his memory card was full sadly and he was not able to continue to film the object anymore. Which he regrets because the object was then joined by 3 more lights of the same description and they continued moving in the same direction in what he described as a staggered column until they were out of view. Obviously what is not filmed can be taken with a grain of salt by any investigator or person looking into a video, but to me he has no reason to lie.
Prepare yourself for a wild ride as Military Aerospace Historian Michael Schratt blows the lid off Government Secrecy and the subject of UFOs, Mystery Aircraft, and classified propulsion systems buried deep within the military industrial complex. Totally visual and loaded with secrets, this presentation will take viral to a whole new level. Over the years, Michael has developed relationships with a number of inside contacts who have had first hand experience dealing with classified “black programs”, including former USAF pilots, retired Naval personnel and aerospace engineers who have maintained a TOP SECRET Q “MAJIC” clearance. Their stories and the photographic evidence to back them up, is proof that the US Military has ALIEN TECHNOLOGY and fleets of SECRET AIRCRAFT developed over the last 60 years, that are far more advanced then anything ever seen by the general public and they’re in mass production and in the air right now, performing military missions. In addition, BOMBSHELL UFO EVIDENCE is presented that demonstrates that ALIEN SPACECRAFT are visiting Earth.
Project SERPO – The Exchange Program with Aliens from Zeta Reticuli (Part I)
Project SERPO – The Exchange Program with Aliens from Zeta Reticuli (Part I)
“First let me introduce myself. My name is [Request Anonymous]. I am a retired employee of the U.S. Government. I won’t go into any great details about my past, but I was involved in a special program.”
Thus began the first in a series of lengthy messages received in 2005 by a UFO discussion group moderated by a former U.S. Government employee by the name of Victor Martinez. The source of the messages requested that his identity remain undisclosed for fear of being prosecuted or even worse. And he had good reason, for calling the nature of his disclosures sensitive was an understatement.
According to the anonymous source, in the early 1950’s the government initiated Project Serpo, a top secret program intended to open communication channels between mankind (represented, of course, by the U.S. Government) and a race of extraterrestrials from Serpo, a planet located in the Zeta Reticuli star system.
Zeta Reticuli is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Reticulum. Although both stars are similar in size to our own sun, spectral analysis shows they are much younger, at around 2 billion years of age. Whether this interval is enough for a highly intelligent, spacefaring species to develop is not up to us to decide. Furthermore, the aliens inhabiting Serpo originated elsewhere in the galaxy.
The incident that led to this interplanetary connection was none other than the Roswell crash. Or, should I say–crashes, because there were two of them: one southwest of Corona, New Mexico and the other near Pelona Peak, which is a rock’s throw away from Datil, NM.
The crash involved two extraterrestrial aircraft. The Corona site was found a day later by an archaeology team. This team reported the crash site to the Lincoln county Sheriff’s department. A deputy arrived the next day and summoned a police officer. One live EBE [extraterrestrial biological entity] was found hiding behind a rock. The entity was given water but declined food. The entity was later transferred to Los Alamos,” the anonymous source wrote.
It’s interesting to note that the entity accepted water. This seems to suggest it might have shared a biology similar to our own and also cements the idea that life on Earth might have originated elsewhere in the universe. The EBE’s refusal to ingest food might have had cultural bases rather than physiological ones. Or maybe it wasn’t hungry enough.
Eventually the Roswell Army Air Field was notified of the crash and promptly intervened. After a thorough examination of the Corona site, all evidence was loaded onto flatbed trucks and carried away to an undisclosed location. A total of six extraterrestrial bodies were recovered and transported to the Los Alamos National Laboratory because the facility had a (then) recently-developed cooling system that allowed scientists to preserve the bodies for subsequent research.
The live alien was kept under strict surveillance at the same facility. Picture this: you’re being held captive by a decidedly inferior species, you’re the sole individual of your kind on an alien planet and the governing powers house you under the same roof as your fallen and frozen brethren. Now that’s adding insult to injury!
Another two years would pass until the second crash site would be discovered. It’s reasonable to expect that no survivors were found but the wreckage containing invaluable technology and desiccated bodies were whisked off to Sandia Army Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
In the meantime, the live EBE had already established a means of communication with the scientists and top brass and we can assume they were very eager to know what he had to say. Yes, he, because his species also had male-female gender division.
The alien revealed the name of his homeworld: Eben. Its location was, like the title says, in the Zeta Reticuli star system. He also informed scientists about the various instruments and ultra advanced technology on board the two downed spacecraft. You can envision the power and demonstration hungry military officials pressuring the translators to squeeze more out of their extraterrestrial captive.
Until his death in 1952, the alien version of Robinson Crusoe (one that never gets to make a living on his own, but is rather captured by the savages) continued to provide information regarding the items inside the two spaceships. If we weren’t so understanding, we could probably blame him for all the triangle-shaped UFOs zipping silently above our heads. At least part of those must be man-made and operated, albeit using technology reverse-engineered from these early UFO crashes. Did you honestly believe aliens are responsible for all the sightings?
Before he died, the EBE managed to set up one of the communication devices present aboard one of their vehicles and contact his homeworld. The humans who oversaw this procedure must have been sitting on the outer edge of their seats until the response came back.
But back it came and things eventually turned out way better than they could have hoped for. They Ebens agreed to come visit! The date was set for April 1964 and, showing that punctuality is a must-have trait of advanced civilizations, they touched ground somewhere near Alamogordo, New Mexico. They unceremoniously retrieved the bodies of their kin and engaged in information exchange with the earthlings via a translation device. English was the chosen language, because they were the visitors and courtesy knows no planetary boundaries.
For the betterment of mankind, the Ebens agreed to set up an exchange program. Twelve members were carefully selected for the mission: 8 USAF, 2 U.S. Army and 2 U.S. Navy. Two of them were doctors, three were scientists, two were linguists, two of them handled security, two were pilots and the last one was the leader, an Air Force Colonel.
All of them were given alternate identities and they were effectively erased from all military and civilian records. It was as if they never existed in the first place and that made them ideal candidates for a mission from which they might never return. The 12 went through six months of rigorous training and were given the order to maintain contact with Earth via the already-established communication links.
As per their agreement, the aliens returned in 1965 and left one of their own behind shortly before whizzing lifting up the brave dozen. Their mission was supposed to last ten years, during which regular communication had to be maintained. But the best-laid plans of mice, men and aliens often go astray. The team’s transmissions to Earth HQ were sporadic at best and didn’t always include the greatest of news. Three years into their stay, one doctor and one of the security personnel died. Pneumonia and injury sustained from a fall were the culprits.
Five years after they’d left, communication stopped altogether. The U.S. Government was in the dark regarding Project Serpo, of which they had had such high expectations. But then, in 1978, three years after the agreed-upon return date, the Ebens came back and dropped off seven men and one woman. Two were dead and two had decided to remain behind.
They were placed in quarantine for a whole year during which they had plenty of time to debrief their superiors. As a matter of fact, the complete account they brought back is said to have numbered around 3,000 pages.
According to the crew members, the cosmic journey to Eben lasted only 9 months, despite the distance of 39 light-years that separates us from them.
FTL TRAVEL FTW!
Although it already had a name, the crew nicknamed the planet Serpo, hence the name of the top-secret project. With a diameter of 7,200 miles, it was slightly smaller than Earth. It had two moons, the day was 43 earth hours long and it revolved around its star in 865 earth days. The Eben Solar System numbered six planets. The Ebens had established bases on the one that was nearest to Serpo (nicknamed OTTO) but it was a lifeless world.
Silus, another of the planets in their Solar System had its own native lifeforms but none were intelligent. The Ebens mined it for minerals their homeworld lacked.
On Serpo, the heat was extreme (by human standards) and it took the crew a long time to adjust. Water was readily available but food was a problem. The team only brought enough food with them to last for two years so they eventually had to resort to eating native cuisine. At first, it caused them gastrointestinal problems but they eventually adapted. The human body is one versatile machine.

Project Serpo was a top secret program initiated in the 1950s following the events collectively known as the Roswell Incident. It saw the relocation of a human crew to an alien planet as part of an ‘exchange’ program with the extraterrestrials populating it.
All crew members were allowed to roam freely and they traveled wherever they pleased. Halfway through their stay, they decided to relocate to the northern part of the planet, where temperatures were cooler and allowed for the growth of ample vegetation. The interplanetary human crew had experienced difficulties adapting to the hot and dry climate on Serpo, determined by the increased levels of solar radiation.
The visitors built a small community for the team,” the anonymous whistleblower wrote. “The only major problem was time. Time was different on the visitor’s planet. I don’t think anyone ever figured it out. The visitors had no clocks. They didn’t judge or account for time as we did. They found our attempts to account for time strange.”
Despite dismissing watches, the Ebens were extremely disciplined in their daily lives. Every one of them worked on a schedule based on the movement of their central sun. Speaking of suns, it never got completely dark on Serpo, on account of the second star dimly illuminating the sky whenever the central one set.
The Ebens were the only population present on Serpo and they numbered around 650,000, inhabiting many areas of the planet in relatively small communities. There was nothing like the metropolises we have here on Earth. Industry was present, although not on a large scale. All of their food was artificially-grown in large structures in the north. Although there were numerous animal species on Serpo, no meat was eaten and the Ebens found the idea appalling.
They did use some of the larger fauna as beasts of burden, though. It seems that intelligence warrants the subjugation of ‘lesser’ living things, no matter the planet. When considering the bigger picture, this does not bode well for us humans.
Transportation was done with the help of floating vehicles that relied on a power source that is unknown to humans. Pollution was virtually nonexistent and so was crime. While the Ebens had an army of sorts, no guns or any other weapons were ever seen by the human crew.
Each small community held meetings to discuss and resolve their internal issues but there was a central governing body that handled all the top-level decision-making.
Money was an unknown concept. So was capitalism or any other economic system based on differential levels of ownership. No commercial activity occurred, and instead of shops, stores and malls there were distribution centers. Each and every one of the Ebens were issued what they needed and everyone seemed pleased with the situation.
Things like death, religion, establishing a family and raising offspring were present albeit a bit different from human practices. The Ebens were not immortal and they too worshiped a Supreme Being. They also reportedly enjoyed playing team games and music was not unknown to them.
The Ebens did not evolve on Serpo. They had colonized the planet some 5,000 earth years prior to the events described here, after their initial home became threatened by intense volcanic activity. Having mastered spaceflight long before those cataclysmic events made them relocate, finding Serpo wasn’t an impossible feat.
They were no strangers to conflict and warfare either. The collective memory of the Ebens was marred with memories of a Great War fought against a hostile species from another planet. They had succeeded in eliminating the threat but at a great cost. The human crew speculated this was the reason why the total population numbered just 650,000 and what determined their aversion towards weapons.
As a spacefaring civilization, the Ebens were well-aware of the existence of other intelligent species in the far corners of our galaxy. Some were peaceful and some kept to themselves but the ones that are hostile made the subject of a stern warning. “Don’t attract their attention of those guys, we have neither the resources nor the interest to intervene should they set their eyes on your world” sounds sensible enough.
Despite the fact that the official report is said to stretch along 3,000 pages, much of the knowledge imparted by the settlers of Serpo was lost in translation and due to the human crew’s inability to comprehend certain concepts. Although scientists and linguists were chosen for the mission, they found it impossible to figure out parts of the Eben culture and most of their technology. And they weren’t allowed to bring anything back, despite it being the express will of their superiors.
Nothing is known about the defectors. For all we know, they could be alive and well, sipping on longevity elixirs and not regretting anything.
Attempts to contact the Ebens continued until 1988 but the only reply received was silence.
The men and women who returned had been exposed to high levels of radiation for extended periods of time and they suffered radiation-related illnesses as a result. The last surviving member of the Serpo exchange program died in a VA hospital in 2002. It appears there’s no direct way of determining the truth.
Wikipedia says there are no planets orbiting around the two Zeta Reticuli stars and that would seem to dismantle the entire theory. But it would be very unwise to think that Wikipedia is indeed neutral in its allegiance andcompletely out of the reach of the powers that be.
It would also be reckless to ignore that there are some inconsistencies in what we know about Project Serpo and some of the information allegedly brought back by the human crew legitimately raises suspicion. For example, the traits of their society loosely resemble those of our own. Is this evidence that intelligent life inherently follows a natural pattern and seeks to answer similar questions? Or do we chalk it off as the fabrication of someone seeking to disseminate a sensational story under the the umbrella of anonymity?
A third alternative is also possible. Project Serpo could be the modified echo of an interplanetary exchange program that indeed took place, its exact details lost or willfully suppressed. One thing is certain though: strange and covert operations do take place and will continue to do so, no matter what we believe or how big of a fuss we make about it.
Truth over Roswell FINALLY revealed? First ever UFO public inquiry 'could have answers'
Truth over Roswell FINALLY revealed? First ever UFO public inquiry 'could have answers'
A PUBLIC debate on the existence of UFOs and aliens involving former government ministers is being hailed as a major step towards "full disclosure" of top-secret documents about ET visitations of Earth.
The Roswell mystery has baffled UFO researchers for nearly 70 years
The first Canadian National Public Hearing on UFOs is being held in response to an unprecedented amount of sightings across the country - and hopes to nail the truth about the 1947 Roswell UFO mystery once and for all.
Last year alone, there were a record 1,267 incidents reported across Canada, according to TV news reports by Global Television, the CBC, and CTV.
The event, on Saturday June 25, 2016, in Brantford, Ontario, is to "address and investigate this modern day enigma."
A Canadian research and development team has been set up to organise the historic event, led by Paul Hellyer, the Former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and Minister of Defence, who is also a member of the Queen's Privy Council.
A spokesman for the research and development team said: "This elite panel is prepared to present unimpeachable evidence that not only is the UFO phenomenon real but that the matter of UFOs has been discussed, analysed, investigated and sequestered at the highest levels of governance on the planet.
"The Public Hearing will feature testimony by internationally-acclaimed experts.
"Experts will present their case in support of the UFO reality, the existence of extraterrestrials and what world governments, Pentagon, White House, NORAD and Vatican officials know about this issue."
The testimony presented will be both politically stunning and intellectually challenging.
UFO research and development team
Witnesses later came forward to say there had been alien bodies within the "crashed craft", which along with the wreckage were then taken to the mysterious top-secret Area 51 military base in Nevada.
Aside from Roswell, topics on the agenda include:
•Latest UFO sighting reports,
•Official government UFO documents obtained through FOIA
•What US presidents know about the UFO issue
•Alien abductions
•International UFO incidents over US and UK military and nuclear installations
In North America, there is a huge so-called "disclosure movement" made up of citizens who are demanding governments worldwide release any documents they have concerning aliens or UFOs.
Six members of the panel were among many others who participated at a Citizen Hearing on Disclosure held in Washington DC at the National Press Club in 2013 when they addressed former members of the US Senate and Congress.
The research and development team spokesman added: "Now, for the first time in Canadian history a panel of internationally respected experts will present their analysis of the social, scientific, national security, military, theological and political implications of this highly controversial issue before an equally esteemed panel of journalists, academics and broadcasters.
"The testimony presented will be both politically stunning and intellectually challenging."

Waarheid over Roswell eindelijk onthuld? Eerste hoorzitting over UFO’s ooit in Canada
Waarheid over Roswell eindelijk onthuld? Eerste hoorzitting over UFO’s ooit in Canada
Op zaterdag 25 juni wordt de allereerste nationale hoorzitting over UFO’s in Canada gehouden. Canadese media meldden onlangs dat de inwoners van het land een recordaantal vreemde objecten in de lucht hebben gezien. In 2015 zijn er 1267 UFO-meldingen binnengekomen.
Om dit raadselachtige fenomeen te onderzoeken is er een team van internationale experts samengesteld. In dit panel zitten onder meer oud-vicepremier en –minister van Defensie van Canada Paul Hellyer, Nick Pope, Stanton Friedman en Steven Bassett.
Verborgen houden
Het panel wil onomstotelijk aantonen dat UFO’s echt bestaan en dat overheden er onderzoek naar doen, maar informatie verborgen houden. Experts zullen tijdens de hoorzitting spreken over het bestaan van buitenaardse wezens en wat overheden, het Pentagon, Witte Huis en het Vaticaan erover weten. Gehoopt wordt dat het UFO-mysterie in 1947 bij Roswell voor eens en voor altijd opgelost wordt.
“Achter de schermen is de luchtmacht bezorgd over UFO’s,” schreef admiraal Roscoe Hillenkoetter, directeur van de CIA, in 1960 in een brief aan het Amerikaanse Congres. “Door informatie geheim te houden en het onderwerp belachelijk te maken zijn veel mensen echter gaan geloven dat het nonsens is.”
Presidenten
Tijdens de hoorzitting wordt verder gesproken over UFO-meldingen, officiële overheidsstukken over UFO’s, buitenaardse ontvoeringen, incidenten boven leger- en kerninstallaties en wat Amerikaanse presidenten weten over UFO’s en aliens.
In juli 1947 kondigde het Amerikaanse leger in een persbericht aan dat in de woestijn een vliegende schotel was gecrasht. Een dag later werd gezegd dat het om een luchtballon van de luchtmacht ging. Getuigen zeiden later dat ze lichamen van buitenaardsen hadden gezien in het gecrashte toestel en dat de wrakstukken naar Area 51 waren overgebracht.
Documentary provides new evidence for famous military UFO case
Documentary provides new evidence for famous military UFO case
Two former military radar technicians have come forward to say a UFO was caught on radar and seen from the control tower of a U.S. military base in the U.K. that housed nuclear weapons. They make these claims in a new documentary called UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed.

As the title implies, the documentary makes the argument that UFOs have an interest in nuclear facilities. It backs up this supposition with government documents and military witnesses who claim to have been present when UFOs were seen near nuclear weapons or nuclear storage areas. The documentary is the culmination of years of investigation by UFO researcher Robert Hastings, author of the book UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites.
The incident in which the radar technicians were involved took place at Royal Air Force (RAF) Base Bentwaters. RAF Woodbridge is nearby, and the Rendlesham Forest lies between them. At the time, both bases were leased to the U.S. military.
The UFO incident began in the early morning of December 26, 1980. Lights were seen in the forest and two security policemen went to investigate. They reported coming upon an object with strange lights. One of the men approached the object and described it as a triangular craft hovering above the forest floor. After watching it for a few minutes, it moved up to the treetop and then shot off at a very fast speed.
A couple of nights later, the lights came back. This time, skeptical of the earlier UFO reports, Deputy Base Commander Charles Halt took a group of security policemen with him to investigate. They reported seeing a red light shaped like an eyeball move through the forest. It then split into five separate disc-shaped objects and they all flew off.

Soon after, they saw another disc-shaped object fly towards them. It stopped, hovering above them, and shot a laser-like beam down near their feet. The beam only lasted a few seconds, when it turned off, the UFO moved towards the weapons storage area. Over the radio, Halt could hear security personnel reporting that the object beamed the laser-like light into the bomb depot.

According to the documentary, at the time, RAF Bentwaters was the largest American tactical nuclear bomb depot in Europe.

In a recent interview on Open Minds UFO Radio, Hastings said back in 2006, he had taken notice that there was no testimony from air traffic controllers as to whether the object allegedly seen by Halt and the security personnel at RAF Bentwaters was caught on radar.
He then conducted research to find who would have been in the RAF Bentwaters control tower at the time. He eventually found them, and their testimony is quite startling. They tell their stories for the first time in the documentary, and report not only catching the object on radar, but they also saw it, and it was like nothing they had ever seen before.
The men’s names are Jim Carey and Ike Barker. In the documentary, Carey recalls catching the object on radar the night Halt was in the forest. He said, “I was just sitting there and I happened to see a dot come on the scope, and it just went one dot in the beginning, and another dot, another dot, and it was gone.”

The scope represented 120 miles, so crossing the screen so quickly indicated an object traveling at a very fast speed.
“All of a sudden, here it come back across again,” Carey recounted. “It went one, two and then an immediate right hand turn and came right towards the base. I just said that can’t be one of ours. No jet at that speed can make an immediate right hand turn. Just absolutely phenomenal.”

Barker agreed, “It’s not like any radar target I have ever seen. When the sweep would hit the target, you would have the entire back of it would be like a solid line.”

“Traveling at an extremely high rate of speed, it passed over the control tower and then it stopped. I’ve never seen anything in my life like the maneuverability that happened with this object,” Barker continued.
At this point, the men were able to get a good look at the object. Barker described it as “orangish” in color. He recalled, “It sort of popped into my mind at the time that somebody is flying a basketball out here.”

“There were lights around the center of it, but it wasn’t like running lights or navigational lights. It was more like portholes, and you were seeing the light from the inside coming out. It wasn’t flashing lights or anything. It hovered momentarily, reversed its course, and went back out at a high rate of speed.”
As spectacular as this sighting sounds, the documentary goes on to present documents obtained from the former Soviet Union that show similar events happened there.
The amount of evidence in the form of documents and eye-witness testimony that is presented in the documentary makes a strong case for the UFO phenomenon, let alone for the possibility that these things are interested in our nuclear weapons.
The video is available online on Vimeo. It can be rented or purchased.
A Pennsylvania witness at Philadelphia reported watching and videotaping a cross-shaped UFO hovering nearby, according to testimony in Case 75873 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The reporting witness and his wife were traveling to the Food Truck Fest at Tamproom and 19th in Philadelphia at 5:45 p.m. on April 16, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“We drove over there around 5:30 and parked our car on Lambert and West Porter street where they meet,” the witness stated.“After we parked our car, we start walking west on Porter and turned left and started walking north on 20th street. My wife made a comment about the moon being out overhead and I looked up and noticed this object not moving, just hovering.”
The witness described what they first saw.
“This was in the broad daylight with not a cloud in the sky. My wife and I both watched it hover for about one minute before it appeared to first come down lower from the sky. That is why we got excited because it went from hovering to moving downwards slowly. Then it stopped again and we got more excited. Then it changed directions and started moving southeast slowly and then it stopped again.”

The witness then began recording the object on his cell phone.
“It stayed stationary for a bit. The sun was bright and was hitting my cell phone screen and I could not tell if I was actually pointing my camera in the right direction. So I used the Moon, which was to the right of the object, as a reference. Once I saw the moon on my screen, I panned to the left slowly until I saw it appear as a dot on my screen. I zoomed out to give you a point of reference and you can see some buildings. Then I zoomed back as much as my cell phone camera could. I was wanting to watch this with my own eyes but it was hard because I wanted to make sure I was recording it.”
The object then began to pick up speed.
“The object starting moving east and picking up speed. This is when I put my cell phone down because I had to see this with my own eyes. As it moved father east, it started moving faster and faster and we could tell this object was large and because of how high it was away from us and how big it looked like from where we were standing. The object moved so fast that we eventually lost sight of it. I think we were excited to see one.This time in the broad daylight.”
The witness estimated the distance to the object.
“I would guess it was about 10,000 to 15,000 feet in the sky, but about one mile or less from us. It definitely had a shape to it which appeared to look like a ‘jack’ but maybe with four sides and not six. My wife drew a picture of the shape of what it looked like to us from our point of view. I’ll attach it here with the video. My wife watched it mostly with her own eyes as I was recording it. Unfortunately, I wish my cell phone had a better zoom and higher definition.”

Pennsylvania MUFON Field Investigator Theodore Bloch investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.
“The witness described himself as an amateur astronomer familiar with sky objects generally and with flares and drones (which drones he himself ‘pilots’ at times),” Bloch wrote in his report.“He was adamant that the movement characteristics of the sighted object could not have been a Chinese lantern or drone. He also stated that the object had a solid shape, which he described as a ‘jack’ (as in the kid’s game). He said his wife, who witnessed it with him and whose comments can be heard in the background to the video attached to the CMS submission, thought it looked more like a ‘cross’ and attached a drawing to the CMS submission. The video attachment clearly shows some kind of solid object. Based on the anomalous shape and movement, as well as the attached video evidence, the FI recommends classifying this sighting as UAV-Unknown.”
Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
HOOGSTE AMERIKAANSE GENERAAL WAARSCHUWT VOOR KLEINE GROENE MANNETJES ( VIDEO)
HOOGSTE AMERIKAANSE GENERAAL WAARSCHUWT VOOR KLEINE GROENE MANNETJES ( VIDEO)
Er zijn op dit moment een aantal situaties voor te stellen waarbij het voor de machthebbers handig zou zijn om de noodtoestand, ook wel Martial Law genoemd, uit te roepen.
Eén van die redenen zou zijn de mogelijke dreiging van een buitenaardse invasie, iets waar een Amerikaanse generaal nieuwe officieren voor waarschuwt.
De belangrijkste man binnen het Amerikaanse leger is een viersterren generaal die de positie van Chief of Staff bekleed:
De Chief of Staff of the United States Army (CSA) is de hoogste, actieve officier binnen het Amerikaanse leger. Tevens is de CSA lid van de Joint Chiefs of Staff
De CSA wordt altijd genomineerd door de president van de Verenigde Staten, en benoemd indien een ruime meerderheid van de Senaat hiermee instemt.
De huidige Chief of Staff is generaal Mark A. Milley.
Enkele weken geleden, op 21 april, hield generaal Milley een toespraak voor pas afgestudeerde officieren in Northfield, Vermont.
Een toespraak voor de mannen en vrouwen die de Amerikaanse troepen zullen leiden en die van de hoogste baas te horen krijgen dat ze te maken zullen krijgen met hybride legers en kleine groene mannetjes.
In de volgende video kun je hem dat horen zeggen rond minuut 46.
De vraag is waarom de hoogste baas van het Amerikaanse leger zijn officieren voorbereid op komende gebeurtenissen met kleine groene mannetjes.
Tegelijkertijd verschijnt er gisteren bij Infowars wat zij noemen een “shocking report” over de alsmaar toenemende voorbereidingen voor een komende Martial Law.
Allemaal tekenen die erop wijzen dat er zich, in ieder geval in Amerika, binnen niet al te lange tijd een ongewone situatie zal voordoen.
Alex Jones denkt dat de komende economische ineenstorting de reden zal zijn voor de invoering van de Martial Law.
Maar die komende Martial Law zou natuurlijk ook heel goed kunstmatig kunnen worden veroorzaakt, als bijvoorbeeld een Donald Trump toch per ongeluk de verkiezingen lijkt te winnen.
In dat geval zou het heel goed mogelijk kunnen zijn dat de al lang geplande (nep) buitenaardse invasie wordt gebruikt om ervoor te zorgen dat het normale leven zoals wij dat kennen ophoudt te bestaan en Martial Law wordt uitgeroepen, waardoor ook de Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen voor onbepaalde tijd worden uitgesteld.
Een generaal Milley bereidt zijn soldaten niet voor niets voor op de komst van kleine groene mannetjes.
Ook deze buitenaardse invasie werd al lang geleden voorspeld. Navolgend een klein deel uit een eerder artikel.
Het doel zou dan zijn, het creëren van een gemeenschappelijke vijand waardoor niet alleen een wereldregering weer een stap dichterbij komt, maar wat ook weer een aanleiding zou zijn om miljarden te investeren in het industrieel miltaire complex om geavanceerde wapensystemen in de ruimte te bouwen.
Talloze mensen hebben hiervoor al gewaarschuwd, waaronder Eisenhower, Wernher von Braun en zelfs Kennedy.
In het onderstaande interview met Paul Springer wat gisteren op de Australische televisie werd uitgezonden, zegt hij letterlijk:
"Vergeet niet dat de grootste beschavingen ter wereld zijn gevormd door een gemeenschappelijke vijand. Als je kijkt naar enkele van de wereldmachten van vandaag, zijn ook zij ontstaan uit angst voor een gemeenschappelijke vijand".
De video laat een Nederlands ondertitelde video zien van Dr. Carol Rosin uit 2007. Zij heeft Wernher von Braun leren kennen in 1974 en kort voor zijn dood in 1977 bekende hij haar dat de Elite als "laatste troef" de dreiging van een buitenlandse invasie zouden gebruiken. Dit als argument om complexe wapensystemen in de ruimte te lanceren. Hij smeekte haar om dit bekend te maken en daardoor de ruimtebewapening te voorkomen.

Date of sighting: Nov 7, 2015, reported today. Location of sighting: Nelspruit, South Africa Source: MUFON #76170 If you take video of 10 jets for 3 minutes each, I promise at least one will have a small UFO shot past. This one seem like its checking out the jet after it already flew through the contrail. It was testing the contrail for the pollutants and how damaging it may be. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: On November 7th, 2015 I was enjoying a barbecue in my backyard with my family when I saw a Boeing flying directly over my house heading in an easterly direction. The sky was cloudless and deep blue and the white vapor trails the Boeing made caught my attention and I grabbed the old 60D and snapped a couple of photographs of it. When I downloaded all the photographs on the memory card two months later and sorted them, I came across the photos I took of the Boeing. I then noticed a strange sphere in one of the photographs appearing to be right next to the Boeing which I did not see at the time I took the photos looking through the camera viewfinder. At first I thought it was some defect in the lens or a lens flare but when I examined the other three photos I found another photograph with the same sphere but this time at the opposite side of the Boeing and very faint. The other two photographs had no sphere in them. I then realized that this could be a UFO photographed by me unknowingly. I was excited about this and showed the photographs to a friend of mine working at a photo lab. He told me that it had nothing to do with lens flare and that I had actually photographed "something" and encouraged me to look into it. I regret not being able to give more information on the incident as I did not even know about this till more than two months after the event. The only other info I can offer is the exact coordinates (25°28'54.88"S & 30°57'30.03"E) as well as the exact time (First photo it appeared on in the series of four taken on Saturday, 7 November 2015, 11:06:48AM and the second photo it appeared on taken at 11:06:52AM, four seconds later). I have looked but could not find anything on the other two photos. I will however include all four photos in this post in the hope that someone with more specialized computer software might pick up something. In my opinion, someone on that flight had to have seen this thing as well as it appears to be flying at the same height as the Boeing. Hopefully it would be possible to get information on that flight and track down the pilots based on the time, direction and coordinates of the Boeing. PS. The first four photographs attached (IMG_0171, IMG_0172, IMG_0173 & IMG_0174) are uncompressed and unmodified.

Date of sighting: April 16, 2016 Location of sighting: Philadelphia, PA, USA Source: MUFON #75873 Here is a cool report of a UFO over a neighbourhood in Philadelphia a few weeks ago. When I add contrast to the photo, the detail stands out more, but as I do, the sky becomes darker. You can see in the close up below, that the object is not perfectly round, but has a bit of an oval shape and a small dome on top. There is also a field around it, that looks like an electrical disturbance from the UFOs propulsion system. That also explains why a lot of UFO photos are blurry...the field around it causes that appearance. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Eyewitness states: My wife and I were on our way to the Food Truck Fest at Tamproom and 19th in South Philly. We drove over there around 5:30 and parked our car on Lambert and West Porter street where they meet. After we parked our car, we start walking west on Porter and turned left and started walking north on 20th street. My wife made a comment about the moon being out over head and I looked up and noticed this object not moving, just hovering. This was in the broad daylight with not a cloud in the sky. My wife and I both watched it hover for about 1 minute before it appeared to first come down lower from the sky. That is why we got excited because it went from hovering to moving downwards slowly. Then it stopped again and we got more excited. Then it changed directions and started moving south east slowly and then it stopped again. That is when I took out my cell phone and I started recording it. It stayed stationary for a bit. The sun was bright and was hitting my cell phone screen and I could not tell if i was actually pointing my camera in the right direction. So I used the Moon which was to the right of the object as a reference. Once I saw the moon on my screen. I panned to the left slowly until I saw it appear as a dot on my screen. I zoomed out to give you a point of reference and you can see some buildings. Then I zoomed back as much as my cell phone camera could. I was wanting to watch this with my own eyes but it was hard because I wanted to make sure I was recording it. The object starting moving east and picking up speed, this is when I put my cell phone down because I had to see this with my own eyes. As it moved father east, it started moving faster and faster and we could tell this object was large and because of how high it was away from us and how big it looked like from where we were standing. The object moved so fast they we eventually lost sight of it. I think we were excited to see one. This time in the broad daylight. My wife pulled out her cell phone later tonight and found one other person in Philly saw one on the same day and that is how we found it on this website. I would guess it was about 10,000 to 15,000 feet in the sky but about one mile or less from us. It defiantly had a shape to it which appeared to look like a "jack" but maybe with four sides and not six. My wife drew a picture of the shape of what it looked like to us from our point of view. I'll attach it here with the video. My wife watched it mostly with her own eyes as I was recording it. Unfortunately, I wish my cell phone had a better zoom and higher definition.

Witness report: I was in the car at my grandmas house when I saw the bright light in the sky so I took a photo of it and zoomed in and saw two bright lights on it shortly after, the lights went out and I haven’t seen anything like it since
General Mark Milley Says Prepare For Little Green Men, Video, UFO Sighting News
General Mark Milley Says Prepare For Little Green Men, Video, UFO Sighting News
General Mark A Milley
What is the truth about UFOs and Aliens? Do these creatures exist? If they do, are they more advanced regarding technologically than humans? Extraterrestrial creatures were considered as the guests from the stars or the heavens, have been represented in the mythologies and artwork of cultures throughout the world. Mark Alexander Milley is a United States Army officer, who previously served as the twenty-first commanding general of the U.S. In a 45-second video, he shared details about the possibility that humans will be dealing with the little green men. Currently, he is in the Washington DC, handling sensitive issues such as the aliens. It appears that he allows it to slip out since keeping the news as a secret is considered a crime. His guilt forces him to confess.
Currently, the pope is not a stranger to ET’s. As a matter of fact, humans are familiar with the predictive programming. The purpose of this is to desensitize people to the coming trends and judgment towards the masses’ reaction. The groundbreaking portion here is that there is an ongoing predictive trend right now, and it includes a resurgence regarding the planet’s alien invasion. In Predictive Programming, the most noticeable is a new trend in the restaurants, along with the Hollywood movies. This film has an extraterrestrial overtone, which reaches a crescendo in the past month. In a search for the trends of predictive programming, the most noticeable are the distinct pattern regarding the various networks in playing older movies that involve the alien threat and the people. Even the Denny’s restaurant chain of stores has become obsessed. It even entered into a partnership with the Independence Day. As predicted by Key General, graduating officers will fight the aliens. In the video, it portrays that GeneralMark A Milley mentioned “little green men as being the potential line-up of enemies.
In Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion, physicist Dr. Paul LaViolette reveals the secret history of antigravity experimentation – from Nikola Tesla and T. Townsend Brown to the B-2 Advanced Technology Bomber. He discloses the existence of advanced gravity-control technologies, under secret military development for decades, that could revolutionize air travel and energy production. Included among the secret projects he reveals is the research of Project Skyvault to develop an aerospace propulsion system using intense beams of microwave energy similar to that used by the strange crafts seen flying over Area 51. Using sub-quantum kinetics, the science behind antigravity technology, Dr. LaViolette reviews numerous field-propulsion devices and technologies that have thrust-to-power ratios thousands of times greater than that of a jet engine and whose effects are not explained by conventional physics and relativity theory. He then presents controversial evidence about the NASA cover-up in adopting these advanced technologies. He also details ongoing Russian research to duplicate John Searl’s self-propelled levitating disc and shows how the results of the Podkletnov gravity beam experiment could be harnessed to produce an interstellar spacecraft.
Newly Discovered Planets May Host Infrared Based Life

IN BRIEF
Scientists have announced the discovery of three Earth-like planets orbiting a nearby star, and they could host life. Just 40 light-years away, the planets were the first to ever be found orbiting an ultracool dwarf star.

NEW WORLDS
Scientists have found planets that could possibly house alien life, and they’re only 40 light-years away from Earth. This is the first time these three planets were detected, thanks to the Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST).
The newly discovered trio of planets, with temperatures and sizes comparable to those of Earth and Venus, certainly have scientists talking. In fact, these three worlds are now considered the best targets for the search for life outside our solar system.
So, if the planets are habitable (or already have inhabitants) what would they look like?
“Fortunately, we may be able to answer these questions in the near future, as the geometry of the system makes it likely that we will be able to detect the atmospheric gases of these planets in the next decade with the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope,” said study author Adam Burgasser, a professor of physics at the University of California San Diego.
“This facility will allow us to search for biogenic gases—oxygen or methane for example—that would firmly indicate the presence of life, or search for other gas species that would tell us about the planets’ compositions, geothermal activity and evolutionary history,” Burgasser adds.
“These planets are so close, and their star so small, we can study their atmosphere and composition, and further down the road, which is within our generation, assess if they are actually inhabited,”co-author Julien de Wit says. “All of these things are achievable, and within reach now. This is a jackpot for the field.”
BUT JUST HOW HABITABLE ARE THEY?
Before the James Webb can tell us more, though, scientists have made some determinations about the planets’ habitability.
To begin, all three of the planets are tidally locked, with permanent day and night sides.Despite temperature extremes on two of the planets, the so-called “Goldilocks Zone” (where the temperature is just right for things like liquid water), does exist on their western sides. Here, it may be temperate enough to sustain conditions suitable for life.
Better yet, the third planet, which exists farthest from its star, may be entirely within the habitable zone.
Could Earth-like temperatures result in Earth-like creatures? We’ll have to wait a little longer to find out what secrets these new additions to our cosmos hold.
Defying the Limits: Two Black Holes Eject Winds at a Quarter the Speed of Light
Defying the Limits: Two Black Holes Eject Winds at a Quarter the Speed of Light

IN BRIEF
Researchers from the University of Cambridge observed ultra-luminous X-rays coming from two sources, possibly black holes, that are devouring their neighboring stars at extremely high rates, and spewing out gases that travel at a quarter the speed of light.
BLACK HOLES SPEWING OUT MATTER?
It’s an interesting time for astrophysicists, as so many new objects and phenomena keep popping up in their telescopes and observatories.
As an illustration, a new study shows two peculiar compact objects, possibly black holes, defying certain limits that astrophysicists have accepted for a long time now—namely, the rate at which they consume their hapless companion stars.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge were astonished when the data they gathered from the European Space Agency (ESA) pointed to two compact objects 22 million light-years away that are devouring their companion stars with gluttonous abandon, but most remarkable is that they’re spewing matter out at the same time at speeds of 70,000 km/s (43,500 mi/s).
That’s a quarter of the speed of light—and it’s the first time astronomers have seen this happen.

BREAKING THE LIMIT
Experts assert that black holes and other highly dense, compact bodies greedily suck in matter—particularly stars—and in the process of doing so an accretion disc forms around the object, which through frictional heating reaches intense temperatures and emits light at various wavelengths.
One of the unclear cases in these emissions is the existence of ultra-luminous X-rays, which are believed to emanate from supermassive black holes.
This study shows clear evidence that these two objects, possibly black holes or neutron stars, are also sources of these mysterious X-rays—generating them as they are being absorbed inwards, but also streamed outwards, appearing brighter than usual.
This defies the known Eddington limit, which dictates that a given mass can only absorb matter equally as it emits radiation.
The cause? Researchers say that the gases being absorbed at incredible rates by these great masses build up too much radiation pressure as they heat up faster and faster in the disc forming around these objects, even to a point of trapping the radiation before being driven out. The result is the high-velocity winds which, astronomers conjecture, surround the compact objects.
Furthermore, they say that the data on this newly discovered phenomenon might lead to understanding what really happens at the enigmatic cores of these objects.
Astronomers May Have Discovered the Cosmic Origins of “The Weirdest” Subatomic Particles
Astronomers May Have Discovered the Cosmic Origins of “The Weirdest” Subatomic Particles
NASA
IN BRIEF
Since the first evidence of extragalactic neutrinos, a strange type of subatomic particle, scientists have been trying to find out just where they originated from. Now, they have a 10 billion year-old culprit in mind.
Antarctica is filled with ice, penguins, and mysterious subatomic particles…among other things. Just over three years ago, physicists working on the chilly continent detected the first evidence of the particles, known as neutrinos, coming from outside our galaxy. This was huge— however, no one was able to figure out just where those particles were coming from, or why. Until now.
A team of astronomers claims that they found the source, and the story of the particles journey to us begins 10 billion years ago, when a massive explosion erupted in a far off galaxy.
WEIRD SCIENCE
But let’s back up for a moment and understand why the neutrinos are such a big deal.
To begin, they’re pretty strange. In fact, Science Alert describes them as “the weirdest of the fundamental subatomic particles.” They don’t have any mass, they’re super quick, and they’re basically invisible. Think: ‘Wonder Woman’s invisible plane,’ and you’ll begin to note just how weird they are.

Researchers have set up extravagant labs, like the IceCube Neutrino at the South Pole, just to detect neutrinos—which they did in 2013. They found neutrinos that were so unimaginably energetic, they knew they must have come from outside our galaxy.
Named “Bert” and “Ernie,” these neutrinos were the first evidence of extragalactic neutrinos. Over the next few months, the scientists detected a couple dozen more. If you thought the Sesame Street naming spree was over, you’re wrong. At the end of 2012, they spotted “Big Bird,” which was the most energetic neutrino ever detected at the time.
IDENTIFYING THE CULPRIT
Image Credit: NASA
Lead researcher Matthias Kadler, from the University of Würzburg in Germany, describes the hunt for the origin of these mysterious particles “like a crime scene investigation.”
Well, the team believes they found the culprit: A huge explosion known as a blazar, which occurred in galaxy PKS B1424-418 around 10 billion years ago. A blazar occurs when a galaxy’s material falls towards the supermassive black hole at its centre, and some of that material ends up being blasted in huge jets directly towards Earth.
“The blazar seems to have had means, motive and opportunity to fire off the Big Bird neutrino, which makes it our prime suspect,” said Kadler.
The hypothesis needs to be verified before we can say for sure where Big Bird came from, but scientists are excited that we might finally be getting close to better understanding these mysterious particles.
UFOs, flying saucers, little green men…..they're all part of our imagination. Have you seen some strange light in the sky that you can't explain? Some may say that the flash of light you saw was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus. Or was it? From the Worley Observatory out here in Shreveport you can look through the Bradley Telescope and see distant planets. But there are people who claim they have been visited by beings from other planets. So....you have to ask yourselves....are we alone in this vast vacuum of space. Some think not. There have been sightings of strange things in the sky since the dawn of time. And since then we've let our imaginations run wild with movie scenarios of the what if question. With technologies far superior to ours, many speculate on beings over-taking our armies. While many of us must see to believe.
People talk about the archetypal landing on the Whitehouse Lawn. Maybe it will happen. Maybe it will not. Most encounters are just seen from the sky. While others get a little more....personal. A ship came up and it was disguised in a cloud. Thunderbeat, of Arizona, says that as a 4 year old she and her mother were abducted by aliens. And as it was pulling me up my mother was running out of the house trying to catch me in mid air and they pulled her up too. She claims to have a great relationship with her out of this world abductors.
But we've seen through the eyes of fiction aliens like to have humans over for dinner……as it were. Don't get on that ship. The rest of the book. To serve man. It's, it's a cook book! And although we have not visited other planets personally, we are making advances in exploration Our radio telescopes are getting to the point where they will find those civilizations if they're out there. Debates about whether we're alone in the universe will become redundant, we'll know. Those that have claimed to have seen a UFO or have come in contact with one, can often find themselves sometimes going down the road less traveled. One such person is Travis Walton. He garnered national attention with a book Fire In the Sky and movie by the same name, about his personal abduction experience in Arizona in 1975. ? Some witnesses are credible enough to have movies made about those events. I saw an object. A UFO. Hovering near the road. Went up to get a closer look. And was taken aboard. These beings are what people call grays. Short, hairless, large-eyed humanoid beings. Possibly injured but uh returned five days later. While others, uh...Maybe not so much. They would call me out of my house and say come on. Go to the beach. I lived by the beach. Said go to the beach. Let's go meet. And we'll take you for a ride kind of thing. Retired Nuclear Physicist and Professional Ufologist Stanton Friedman of Canada believes we've been visited and thinks governments need to come out and admit it. There is overwhelming evidence that the planet is being visited. Governments know about that. And we better straighten up and fly right. And if you live in fear of an alien invasion, Freelance Journalist Nick Pope has this to say, but listen with caution, it won't calm your nerves any. You could say that there is a potential threat. And clearly we wouldn't have much of a chance if it came to an alien invasion scenario. Ufologists and skeptics alike have speculated about the connection between UFO sightings and military bases. In one particular location that gets a lot of sightings, military bases. Of course there are two schools of thought about that. Skeptics say that well that just shows that most of these things are just secret prototype or drones and that it's our own technology. The counter argument for the believers is that we're dealing with extra-terrestrials who for whatever reason are taking an interest in our military. Perhaps any threat we might pose to them. I think there's two schools of thought there.

You Have Been Abducted By Aliens ~ Now What?
You Have Been Abducted By Aliens ~ Now What?
** SHARING IS CARING - PASS IT ON **
You Have Been Abducted By Aliens ~ Now What?
If you believe one set of claims, nearly four million Americans have been abducted by aliens. This figure has been widely publicized and is often assumed to mean that millions of people have been visited by members of an alien species and, in some cases, physically taken from their beds, cars, or homes to an alien craft or planet.
Regardless if I actually believe these claims, after reading countless witness accounts, hours of video, and researching the facts you tend to imagine just what would it be like. Just having a interest in extraterrestrial visitation you will end up going to sleep with “visions” stuck in your head!
So if your like me and have a Netflix list full of Alien movies and TV shows, including but not limited to crazy space travel shows, doomsday and apocalyptic thrillers, and other flicks in the same genre then you may oftenponder,…..
“What the Hell would I do if it happened to Me!”
People claiming to have been abducted are usually called “abductees” or “experiencers”. Due to a paucity of objective physical evidence, most scientists and mental health professionals dismiss the phenomenon as “deception, suggestibility (fantasy-proneness, hypnotizability, false memory syndrome), personality, sleep paralysis, psychopathology, psycho-dynamics and environmental factors”.
However, the late Prof. John E. Mack, a respected Harvard University psychiatrist, devoted a substantial amount of time to investigating such cases and eventually concluded that the only phenomenon in psychiatry that adequately explained the patients’ symptoms in several of the most compelling cases was post traumatic stress disorder. As he noted at the time, this would imply that the patient genuinely believed that the remembered frightening incident had really occurred.
Dr. Mack claimed that his psychiatric patients were not mentally ill (then why was he treating them?) and that he could think of no better explanation for their stories than that they were true. However, until someone produces physical evidence that abductions have occurred, it seems more reasonable to believe that Dr. Mack and his patients were deluded or frauds. Of course, the good doctor could hide behind academic freedom and the doctor/patient privacy privilege. He could make all the claims he wanted and refuse to back any of them up on the grounds that to do so would be to violate his patients’ rights. He could then publish his stories and dare anyone to take away his academic freedom. He was in the position any cheat would envy: he could lie without fear of being caught.
Typical claims involve being subjected to a forced medical examination that emphasizes their reproductive system. Abductees sometimes claim to have been warned against environmental abuse and the dangers of nuclear weapons. While many of these claimed encounters are described as terrifying, some have been viewed as pleasurable or trans-formative.
I tell my friends who claim to be abducted by aliens, ‘If you’re in a flying saucer, steal something,’” “I don’t care what it is, a pen, a paperweight, anything, so you have bragging rights after you leave the flying saucer, otherwise, you’re empty-handed.”
If it were me, I know for a fact I would not go quietly into the night! First off, my smart phone is never far away, either in my pocket or next to my bed.
My first response would be to attack at all costs! But if for some highly advanced galactic reason I was unable to resist I would be taking photo’s and video until they strapped me down or took away my phone! I know, some of you are going to say that phones, camera’s and other electronics stop working or are disabled by the extraterrestrial kidnappers.
So then I must think fast and assuming they are going to drop me off back at home or my car like countless other abductions I need to get the PROOF!
I can try to scratch them them and have their DNA under my fingernails!
I can try and steal something!, it doesn’t need to be much, just something that’s looks like its from another planet or galaxy!
Ok, so maybe I wasn’t able to scratch them or steal anything then all I have left is my experience that no one will believe. Oh wait! Im in a huge craft that others had to of seen right? My neighbors, family members or others in my area?
Quickly I look around to see if anyone else is here with me? If yes, maybe I can holler out a “Hey You!, whats your name and digits? We need to talk later!”
Or if I’m alone in this nightmare I can try to observe as much as possible so I can re-create the environment I am in and describe it to others! Surely they will believe me after my childish drawings I produce!
I awake in the morning with vivid memories of a horrible experience so life like that it had to be real!
During quick evaluation of my condition I notice a mark on my left foot I never saw before and of course assume its a Alien implant!? How else could I have gotten this mysterious mark? It had to be Aliens!
If you have not figured out by now that I highly doubt any claims of Alien abduction and wanted to show that sometimes our desire to believe trumps rational thought and statistical and common sense solutions.
If the figures stated in the first paragraph for just America (The USA accounts for the majority of claims) are accurate and 4 million plus have claimed similar experiences or very different experiences but never are able to produce tangible evidence then the only conclusion is they never happened and are not reality.
A dream, Sleep paralysis, mental illness or other medical conditions are the the only real answers!,…Well besides a whole host of other motives like attention, profit, or whatever else might make a individual resort to such otherworldly claims that only card carrying tin foil hat wearing sympathizers would appreciate.
Ufology has given us some truly fantastic and entertaining stories, thousands of photos and videos, many quotes (and misquotes) from various prominent people, stacks of documents released from national archives around the world, news reports and books on the subject. The mountain of ‘evidence’ grows ever higher. However, high as that pile now seems, no one has found a ‘smoking gun’ amongst it all as yet.
But remember,..The next nearest star to Earth’s sun (Alpha Centauri) is about 4 light-years away. That might sound close, but it is actually something like 24 trillion miles away. Even traveling at one million miles an hour, it would take more than 2,500 years to get there. To get there in under thirty years would require traveling at more than 100 million miles an hour for the entire trip.* At 100,000,000 mph you could get to the center of our galaxy in 200,000 years; you could reach the edge of the universe in a mere 92 billion years. Our fastest spacecraft, Voyager, travels at about 40,000 miles an hour and would take 72,000 years to get to Alpha Centauri.
The abduction phenomenon increased exponentially during the 70s/90s but seems to have disappeared as technology has caught up. You wont find any reports of a abduction since 2009. So maybe their vacation to Earth is over, or its harder to make a story like that believable in this day and age with everyone having a camera in their pockets.
The era of ‘Classic’ UFO reports are long gone. There are very few significant UFO events from the 21st century worth serious investigation. Youtube videos of a light in the sky or CGI UFOs are aplenty.
The internet has killed the UFO Magazine industry and is rapidly diminishing the book market too. Numbers at conferences are dwindling because there is little new to discuss or sell to an ageing conference audience.
That all said the satellite and cable media seem to love UFOs . On TV there has been a glut of recent programming from various production companies. Although now there seems to be a blurred line between whether the modern UFO show is a serious documentary featuring real research or just entertainment with license to freely stretch the truth.
Various talking heads all tend to tread this fuzzy, vague line whilst appearing on late night talk radio shows and TV shows like Hangar One. A show where entertainment is king and there is absolutely no critical or scientific analysis of the MUFON files or the ‘evidence’ presented in these shows.
Before you start to send me countless links to YouTube videos and “UFO Researchers” (Also known as Frauds, Hoaxers, Book Whores, and unqualified idiots) articles and books I will tell you been there, done that and quit drinking the kool aid years ago.
If you want to keep on believing in aliens visiting Earth and abducting everything from cows to humans that’s your prerogative, Good Luck!
Thanks for taking the time out from your next UFO Sighting or Alien Abduction to read,….now tell me what you think!
I’m ready to hear it from you galactic travelers, alien channelers and shape shifting reptilian overlords!

"D’autres espèces intelligentes ont très certainement évolué avant nous"
"D’autres espèces intelligentes ont très certainement évolué avant nous"
Paris Match
Une photo d'OVNI prise en 1966 dans le Yorkshire.MARY EVANS/SIPA
Selon une équipe de chercheurs de l’université de Washington, il y a une chance sur 10 milliards de billions pour que nous soyons la première et la seule intelligence à avoir existé dans l’univers.
1 chance sur 10 milliards de billions. Telle est la probabilité pour que l’humanité soit la première et la seule espèce intelligente à avoir existé dans l’univers, d’après une étude de chercheurs du Département d’astrobiologie de l’université de Washington publiée fin avril dans la revue «Astronomy». Autrement dit, les scientifiques sont persuadés que des extraterrestres ont existé ou existent actuellement aux confins de l’univers.
Pour en arriver à cette deduction, ils ont résolu une équation en se basant sur le nombre total de planètes connues situées dans une «zone habitable», comme celle découverte récemment, et sur la probabilité qu’une vie intelligente se soit développée sur celles-ci. Ce chiffre astronomique se justifie également par l’âge de notre civilisation (environ 10 000 ans) qui est extrêmement faible comparé à celui de l’univers (environ 13 milliards d’années). «Nos résultats montrent que notre évolution n’a pas été unique et se serait produite à plusieurs reprises par le passé», indique Adam Frank, professeur d’astrophysique et co-auteur de l’étude, avant d’ajouter : «Pour moi, cela implique que d’autres espèces intelligentes et technologiques ont très certainement évolué avant nous».
Le paradoxe de Fermi
S’il est catégorique sur l’existence de civilisations extraterrestres durant cette longue période, on ne les a, pour l’heure, pas encore débusquées. C’est le paradoxe de Fermi : comment se fait-il que l’on ne parvienne pas à trouver leurs traces alors que les mathématiques attestent leur existence ?
Là encore, les chercheurs justifient cela par le fait que 10 000 ans de civilisation humaine ne sont pas suffisantes pour croiser d'autres sociétés, qui auraient pu vivre des milliards d'années auparavant. Mais surtout, ils estiment que cela peut être dû à la nature autodestructrice de la vie intelligente. «Nous ne savons même pas s’il est possible qu’une civilisation de haute-technologie survive plus que quelques siècles», explique le chercheur, cité par le Huffington Post.
The study of closed timelike curves (CTC’s) provides valuable insight into particles that can loop back on themselves, breaking free of linear time.
“One aspect of general relativity that has long intrigued physicists is the relative ease with which one can find solutions to Einstein’s field equations that contain closed timelike curves (CTCs)—causal loops in space–time that return to the same point in space and time.”(source)
The Science
Closed timelike curves are a necessary concept to understand this experiment.
CTCs are used to simulate powerful gravitational fields, like the ones produced by a spinning black hole, that could theoretically (based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity), warp the fabric of existence so that space-time bends back on itself. This creates a CTC, almost like a pathway to travel back through time.
The source of time travel speculation lies in the fact that our best physical theories seem to containno prohibitions on traveling backward through time. The feat should be possible based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which describes gravity as the warping of spacetime by energy and matter. An extremely powerful gravitational field, such as that produced by a spinning black hole, could in principle profoundly warp the fabric of existence so that spacetime bends back on itself. This would create a “closed timelike curve,” or CTC, a loop that could be traversed to travel back in time. (source)
Experiementing With CTC’s
Single particles of light (photons) to simulate quantum particles travelling through time were just used by scientists from the University of Queensland, Australia. They showed that one photon can pass through a wormhole and then interact with its older self. Their findings were published in Nature Communications.
Much of their simulation revolved around investigating the “grandfather paradox,” a hypothetical scenario in which someone uses a CTC to travel back through time to murder her own grandfather, thus preventing her own later birth.
The Grandfather Paradox in Quantum Physics
Instead of a human being traversing a CTC to kill her ancestor, imagine that a fundamental particle goes back in time to flip a switch on the particle-generating machine that created it. If the particle flips the switch, the machine emits a particle—the particle—back into the CTC; if the switch isn’t flipped, the machine emits nothing.
“It’s intriguing that you’ve got general relativity predicting these paradoxes, but then you consider them in quantum mechanical terms and the paradoxes go away.” – University of Queensland physicist Tim Ralph (source)
Tim Ralph (quoted above) and his PhD student Martin Ringbauer simulated a Deutsch’s model of CTCs, according to Scientific American, “testing and confirming many aspects of the two-decades-old theory.” Although it’s just a mathematical simulation, the researchers (and their team/colleagues) emphasize that their model is mathematically equivalent to a single photon traveling through a CTC. (source)
Nothing has actually been sent back through time though; to do that, scientists would have to find a real CTC, which has yet to happen as far as we know. Of course, there always remains the possibility…
Tired of hearing stories about Area 51? Here’s a list of other places routinely visited by UFOs.
1. San Luis Valley, Colorado
Over the years, a plethora of reports have earned the San Luis Valley the reputation of a UFO hotspot. And it’s not just flying saucers. People have allegedly seen shadow people lurking in the area and cattle from several farms have been found mutilated. Conspiracy theorists have drawn parallels between these strange cases and the alleged presence of a number of secret military bases. As you would expect, such a connection would be difficult to prove.
2. Wenceslas Mine, Poland
Rumor has it that during WWII, the Nazis retrieved a crashed UFO and were actively researching the alien technology it carried. However, the war ended before they could turn the tide in their favor. The same rumors say that the research had been carried out in a secret facility located in the Wenceslas Mine in southwestern Poland.
Some conspiracy theorists believe that Die Glocke, The Nazi Bell was designed and built in this underground facility location.
3. Dulce Base, New Mexico
Dulce is a small town with a population of about 3,000 residents, located near the border of New Mexico and Colorado. It’s also home to one of the most controversial underground bases. Some have claimed that beneath the Archuleta Mesa lies a facility housing thousands of reptilians and the unethical experiments they allegedly perform on humans. According to other accounts, it is the gray aliens who run the base but the activity is the same.
No matter how outrageous these claims might seem, a few conspiracy theorists swear the whole thing is real.
4. Perm Anomalous Zone, Russia
Discovered in 1989, this 70 square kilometer area is located in the Ural Mountains. Its proximity to a village called Molyobka has caused the zone to be nicknamed the M-Triangle. Reports claim that the area receives constant UFO visits and physical manifestations. Strange lights, strange shadows, unknown energies, symbols in the sky; apparently this place has them all.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much information available about the M-Triangle, making it another unverifiable Russian mystery.
5. Tonopah, NV and Tonopah, AZ
Tonopah, Nevada houses a highly secretive base and it’s located about 70 miles northwest of Area 51. Very few people know of its existence and it is rarely mentioned even between members of the intelligence services. Lockheed’s F-117 Nighthawk was a well-kept secret at the Tonopah Test Range in the mid-1980’s. Although these stealth fighters left the base years ago, it still remains operational. What could it be hiding now?
Five hundred miles to the southeast and we’re in Tonopah, Arizona. While no anomalies are reported over Tonopah, Nevada, its eponymous counterpart has plenty. People have reported UFOs of all shapes and sizes flying over Tonopah, AZ. Sometimes the flying saucers would be escorted by fighter jets, arising suspicion about joint alien-human operations. Some believe that the UFOs are actually attracted by the nearby Palo Verde nuclear plant. This behemoth generates a shocking 3.3 gigawatts of power, enough to serve 4 million people, send Marty McFly back in time twice and attract curious extraterrestrials, all at once.
6. S4 Facility, Nevada
In the early 1980’s, Bob Lazar started making public appearances andsensational statements. He claimed to have been employed by the U.S. government to work on reverse-engineering captured alien craft. These activities were allegedly carried out inside the S4 facility, which was hidden in the side of a mountain, 20 miles south of Area 51.
Lazar was unable to provide the exact location of the S4 base since he and his fellow workers had been transported with a blacked-out bus to the site. The facility consists of nine hangars built into the mountainside, with the angle of the hangar doors matching the natural slope of the mountain and well-camouflaged among the surrounding environment. Inside, scientists and gray aliens work towards an unknown common purpose.
Bob Lazar’s claims remain unverified and largely unverifiable due to the area being highly restricted to public view.
7. Saddam’s Area 51
Word around conspiracy sites has it that former dictator Saddam Hussein was in cahoots with aliens. Or at least managed to grab some of their technology from a crashed (unearthed, as some would say) UFO. This alleged secret area was located somewhere in the upper valley of the Little Zab River, near a town called Zarzi.
Saddam’s very own Area 51 attracted interest in 2002, when an anonymous source with ties to the military claimed that a UFO had crashed in Iraq in the previous years. Information is scarce and there’s little hope of finding out whether this actually happened.
Interestingly enough, the Nazi occult organization called Ahnenerbe showed interest in the area around Zarzi and allegedly recovered artifacts from an excavated ancient Sumerian city.
8. Kongka La Pass
The highly disputed border between India and China is an inhospitable place. Located on this border is Kongka La, a remote mountain pass which is said to be home to an alien base. Locals on both sides of the pass have reported many strange occurrences and they claim both governments know about the unusual activity taking place in the pass. They say triangle-shaped silent crafts are seen taking off vertically from and disappearing into an underground UFO base.
9. Kaputsin Yar
Sometimes called Russia’s Roswell, this secretive base has served as a research and test facility for Soviet missiles, rockets and satellites. Over the years, numerous strange events have been linked to this base. Rumor has it that there’s an underground base beneath Kaputsin Yar, where the remains of a downed UFO were brought in for study in 1948.
The most recent event involved a UFO that hovered over the base for two hours, emitting a bright beam of light from time to time.

TRACES OF GIANTS DISCOVERED WORLDWIDE
TRACES OF GIANTS DISCOVERED WORLDWIDE
The skeletons of giants were removed; whenever a new one appears the bones are quickly removed; they are carried far away to big hangars hidden from the public eye or are destroyed. The Smithsonian Institute has admitted in court that has destroyed thousands of skeletons of giant since 1900 .
The Bible speaks of the existence of giants in ancient times, but today we can only approach that reality through their fossilized footprints, of ancient paintings or carvings on which they appear. We also have the old stories that speak of huge skeletons found , but it is difficult now to know which images of giant skeletons are true and which are false, as there is people dependent on institutions or companies controlled by the occult elite, which controls the information that comes to light; these people includes false images on the network so that we will not have certainty with any of them and will doubt everything
GIANT TRACES FOUND WORLD WIDE

2/3: All three are near the star's habitable zone, but have orbit periods of mere days http://bit.ly/1UsvLzi
Een internationaal team van astronomen onder leiding van wetenschappers van de Luikse Universiteit (ULg) heeft op slechts veertig lichtjaar van ons in het sterrenbeeld Waterman drie levensvatbare exoplaneten gevonden. Het zijn tot nu toe de beste plaatsen om (met de huidige technologie) te zoeken naar leven buiten ons zonnestelsel. Mocht er leven op die planeten mogelijk zijn, betekent dat echter niet dat we die zomaar mogen claimen. We moeten rekening houden met het 'ruimteverdrag' dat vrede in de ruimte moet garanderen.
Robert Walker, een wiskundige en expert in ruimtevaart, legt op Quora uit dat een land niet zomaar een territorium buiten de aarde mag claimen. Walker, die al schreef voor gerenommeerde bladen als Forbes, Business Insider en Huffington Post, zegt dat je enkel je eigen habitat mag claimen. Hij haalt daarbij het 'Ruimteverdrag' aan, dat de basis vormt voor het internationaal ruimterecht.
"Het ruimteverdrag is van onschatbare waarde, omdat het vrede garandeert."
Robert Walker
Ruimteverdrag
Het ruimteverdrag is van onschatbare waarde, omdat het vrede garandeert en omdat het heel moeilijk is om een dergelijk verdrag door bijna alle landen ter wereld te laten ondertekenen. Het verdrag werd ondertekend door 128 landen, waaronder de VS, China, Rusland en zelfs Noord-Korea. Andere verdragen zoals het 'maanverdrag', dat door de VS werd opgesteld, botsten op een njet van grote mogendheden. Het ruimteverdrag geldt dus als dé belangrijkste basis voor vrede in de ruimte. Maar wat houdt het verdrag dan juist in?
"Iemand anders kan je habitat inpalmen of er een vlak naast bouwen."
Robert Walker
Volgens het ruimteverdrag mag een land geen territorium claimen buiten de aarde. Het enige wat je wel mag claimen is de habitat die je zelf hebt opgebouwd. Mocht je bijvoorbeeld serres bouwen op de maan om gewassen te kweken, dan bezit je wel de serres, maar niet de grond waarop ze gebouwd zijn. Bovendien is het volgens het verdrag, dat vrede als hoofddoel heeft, ten strengste verboden militaire basissen te bouwen in de ruimte.
Mocht je een nieuwe bewoonbare planet ontdekken, dan mag je er dus wel een habitat op bouwen, al beschermt het ruimteverdag die habitat niet. Iemand anders kan bijvoorbeeld je habitat inpalmen of er een vlak naast bouwen.
Mogelijk moet het verdrag dus enigszins worden uitgebreid, mochten we ooit een nieuwe bewoonbare planeet ontdekken.
Het verdrag kan worden uitgebreid op verschillende manieren. Zo kunnen we het voorbeeld van de boorplatformen volgen, waarvan de eigenaars een bepaalde zone rond het platform controleren. Schepen hebben de toestemming nodig van de eigenaars om het platform te benaderen of te bezoeken.
Ook voor het ISS-ruimtestation geldt die regel: bezoekende ruimteschepen moeten voor veiligheidsredenen eerst toestemming vragen aan het ISS voor ze mogen naderen. Mogelijk kunnen habitats ook een dergelijke veiligheidszone krijgen, mocht een nieuwe planeet ooit gekoloniseerd worden.
Een andere denkpiste is die van de functionele eigendom. Mocht je bijvoorbeeld beginnen met mineralen te ontginnen op de nieuwe planeet, dan is de mijn van jou zolang je ze blijft gebruiken. Mocht je de mijn ooit verlaten, dan zijn anderen vrij om ze over te nemen.
Ruimtekolonies zijn fragiel
Mochten we ooit een nieuwe planeet ontdekken, dan zullen we hoe dan ook rekening moeten houden met het ruimteverdrag. Het verdrag is immers het belangrijkste instrument om vrede in de ruimte te bewaren. Het is echter ook noodzakelijk om dat verdrag uit te breiden, al is het onduidelijk hoe dat dan zou gebeuren.
Een ruimtekolonie zou hoe dan ook heel fragiel zijn. Een goede regulering is dus onontbeerlijk.
Het is een van de grote wetenschappelijke ontdekkingen van de afgelopen eeuwen: het bewijs dat Albert Einstein gelijk had en dat zwaartekrachtgolven echt bestaan. Die vondst heeft dinsdag een belangrijke wetenschappelijke prijs gekregen, de Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, voor natuurkundige doorbraken.
Aan de prijs is een bedrag van 3 miljoen dollar verbonden, omgerekend 2,6 miljoen euro. Daarvan gaat 1 miljoen dollar naar de drie mensen die het apparaat hebben opgezet waarmee de ontdekking is gedaan. De overige 2 miljoen dollar wordt verdeeld onder meer dan duizend wetenschappers die aan het onderzoek hebben meegewerkt. Zij krijgen bijna 2.000 dollar per persoon. Onder hen zijn sterrenkundige Gijs Nelemans, natuurkundige Jo van den Brand en tientallen andere medewerkers van het Amsterdamse onderzoeksinstituut Nikhef, de Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen en de Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam.
De zwaartekrachtgolven waren een groot raadsel van het heelal. Albert Einstein opperde in 1915 dat het heelal bestaat uit ruimte en tijd en dat die één geheel vormen. Na een heftige gebeurtenis kan die 'ruimtetijd' trillen. De schokgolven, de zwaartekrachtgolven, gaan dan door het heelal als rimpelingen na een steen in een vijver. Bij zo'n rimpeling rekt de ruimte iets uit of krimpt hij iets.
Pas honderd jaar later, met de meest geavanceerde laserapparatuur, kon het gelijk van Einstein worden bewezen. Op 14 september pikten twee Amerikaanse detectoren een zwaartekrachtgolf op. Die was afkomstig van twee zwarte gaten, die 1,3 miljard jaar geleden zijn samengegaan. Door de golf verschoof een speciale laserstraal een miljoenste van een miljoenste van een miljoenste van een meter. Het bewijs dat Einstein gelijk had.
Wetenschappers kunnen met zwaartekrachtgolven op een hele nieuwe manier naar het heelal kijken. Dan zien ze dingen die tot nu toe verborgen bleven, zoals objecten die geen licht uitstralen.

30 meter lang en ruim 2000 jaar oud: Nieuwe Nazcatekening van mythisch dier ontdekt in Peru
30 meter lang en ruim 2000 jaar oud: Nieuwe Nazcatekening van mythisch dier ontdekt in Peru
Bij de beroemde Nazcalijnen in Peru is een nieuwe zandtekening ontdekt. De afbeelding van een ‘mythisch dier’ dat zijn tong uitsteekt is ongeveer 30 meter lang en meer dan 2000 jaar oud. De afbeelding is ontdekt door een Japanse archeoloog.
De geoglief is gevonden vlak bij Pampa de Majuelos, op zo’n 12 kilometer van de Nazcalijnen. In 2011 werden op dezelfde plek twee figuren ontdekt.
Reliëf
Vorig jaar kwam een groep archeologen de geoglief op het spoor. De makers ervan hebben ruim 2000 jaar geleden stenen gebruikt om een soort reliëf te maken. Experts zeggen dat in de tekening duidelijk een hoofd, tong, romp en ledematen zijn te zien.
Nieuwe Nazcatekening (Yamagata University)
Volgens hoofdonderzoeker Masato Sakai van de Yamagata University gaat het om de afbeelding van een denkbeeldig of mythisch dier. Hij doet al zeven jaar onderzoek in Peru. In juli vorig jaar ontdekte Sakai ook al 24 zandpatronen, schrijftFoxNews.
Bedevaart
Sakai en zijn collega Jorge Olano schrijven op de website van de universiteit: “Tussen de geogliefen is een oud pad ontdekt dat naar het ceremoniële centrum van Cahuachi leidt. We vermoeden dat de geogliefen waarschijnlijk gerelateerd waren aan de bedevaart naar Cahuachi.”
De reusachtige mysterieuze zandmotieven zijn een restant van de Nazcabeschaving. Ze kunnen alleen worden aanschouwd vanuit kleine vliegtuigen.

VIDEO: Mysterieuze lichtgevende kwal ontdekt op vier kilometer diepte
De Marianentrog is met een diepte van ongeveer 11 kilometer de diepst bekende plek in de oceaan. Er is maar weinig bekend over deze 2400 kilometer lange kloof. Geleidelijk aan leggen wetenschappers dit unieke ecosysteem bloot.
Het Amerikaanse klimaatinstituut NOAA heeft nu een mysterieuze lichtgevende kwal vastgelegd in de trog. Wetenschappers noemen de kwal ‘verbluffend mooi’, meldt het magazine Wired. Ze vermoeden dat het lichtgevende wezen een roofdier is omdat zijn lange tentakels naar buiten zijn gespreid.
De kwal doet nog het meest denken aan een wezen uit de film Avatar van James Cameron, schrijft MNN. De oplichtende gele en rode delen in de kwal zijn geslachtsklieren en ingewanden.
Het diertje, dat ook wel UFO-kwal wordt genoemd, is tijdens één van de expedities van de Okeanos Explorer gespot op circa vier kilometer diepte. De wetenschappers zijn bezig de Marianentrog beter in kaart te brengen.
In maart werd op meer dan vier kilometer diepte al een ‘spookoctopus’ gevonden. Voor de geïnteresseerden: de expeditie, die duurt tot 10 juli, is te volgen via een livestream.
Hebben UFO’s kernwapens uitgeschakeld? En zo ja, waarom?
Hebben UFO’s kernwapens uitgeschakeld? En zo ja, waarom?
Honderden Amerikaanse militairen hebben UFO’s waargenomen bij kerninstallaties. Hun getuigenissen worden ondersteund door duizenden vrijgegeven overheidsstukken.
Onderzoeker Robert Hastings heeft de afgelopen vier decennia meer dan 150 veteranen geïnterviewd over hun ervaringen met mysterieuze objecten bij bases waar kernwapens liggen opgeslagen.
In 2010 spraken Amerikaanse oud-militairen tijdens een persconferentie, die rechtstreeks werd uitgezonden door CNN, van mysterieuze storingen op de plekken waar intercontinentale raketten lagen opgeslagen op het moment dat een schijfvormig schip boven de basis was gezien.
Onthullingen
Hastings doet in zijn nieuwe documentaire UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed onthullingen over UFO-activiteit bij plekken waar kernwapens liggen opgeslagen. Hij levert naar eigen zeggen bewijs dat de dodelijkste wapens op aarde al sinds het moment dat ze zijn ontwikkeld en gebruikt in de gaten worden gehouden door onbekende waarnemers.
Documenten die in de jaren negentig uit Rusland zijn gesmokkeld bevestigen dat UFO’s tijdens de Koude Oorlog erg geïnteresseerd waren in de kernwapens van de Sovjets. Verschillende Amerikaanse oud-militairen claimen daarnaast dat UFO’s in oktober 2010 op grote schaal raketten hebben uitgeschakeld.
Wezens van een andere wereld
Wat wil Hastings bereiken met zijn film? “Mensen informeren. Iemand die over extreem geavanceerde technologie beschikt houdt al decennialang Amerikaanse en Russische kernwapens in de gaten en kan waar nodig zelfs raketten uitschakelen,” zei hij.
“Mijns inziens worden UFO’s bestuurd door wezens van een andere wereld. Deze indrukwekkende en ongelooflijke ontwikkelingen mogen niet geheim worden gehouden door een handvol overheidsfunctionarissen,” aldus Hastings.
A Turkey witness at Antalya reported watching and photographing an oval-shaped UFO hovering over the nearby sea, according to testimony in Case 75759 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside a hotel about 6:37 p.m. on April 3, 2016, when the object was first seen. Robert Spearing Investigated for MUFON International and closed the case as an Unknown.
“We were at the hotel in Kemer-Antalya, sitting and talking with the family,” the witness reported. “Shiny object with strange moves. We thought it was a helium-filled, metallic balloon. It moved north first and then came back and hovered above the sea. I was surprised and then took five shots with my Canon 450d with zoom lens. When you look at the pictures it was like a door opened at the end of the photos. It becomes the known UFO shape and vanished. I say vanished because when I tried to take sixth photo, I could not find it anymore.”
“According to the filed report, the object is described as being 15 degrees above the horizon and remaining in the northeast until it disappeared. The temperature was approximately 77 degrees and winds were at 4.6 mph and out of the west-southwest. The sky was clear.”
Antalya is a resort destination in Turkey and gateway to its southern Mediterranean region, known as the Turquoise Coast for its blue waters. During the Roman era Antalya was a major port city; today a modern metropolis surrounds ancient fortifications. Beaches are flanked by large hotels, and popular outdoor activities include golfing, diving and hiking the 500km Lycian Way footpath.
“After reviewing the witness summary and conducting the database checks,” Spearing stated,“it is determined that the witness observed an Unknown UAV. The witness clearly photographed a metallic object that looked like dentures opening and closing in the sky. When the object was open it looked like a set of dentures. When closed it looked like a silver disk. Object abruptly disappeared. Unusual. Solid metallic object. Hovering. Similar case in Cyprus in 2015 with Case 65827. Photo analysis of photos shows object was in the sky and had a definite outline against sky.”
The Michigan UFO Flap of 1994 occurred in southeastern Ottawa County, near Holland, and involved as many as 300 witnesses.
Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Michigan Chief Investigator Daniel Snow worked Case 62470 which required reviewing the 1994 flap after one individual came forward reporting that they had premonitions about the events a year before they happened.
One good source for a summation of the events is UFOcasebook.com.
Snow provided an overview of the events from 1994 and audio (listen above) of the 911 calls received, and conversations between a 911 operator and the National Weather Service.
“Three hundred witnesses,” Snow recorded in his report, “observed what looked like a string of Christmas lights. The many sightings prompted the Ottawa County dispatch office to contact the Muskegon weather radar operator.”
Snow then attached the ensuing conversation about radar confirmation of about 15 minutes.
Hundreds of people in Michigan reported UFOs in the skies of Michigan in early March 1994.

“The key points from the conversation are: predominately three large objects moving in unison from Holland, Michigan, southwesterly toward Chicago, object signatures much larger than typical aircraft, not typical precipitation signature and at higher altitudes, 5,000 to 12,000 feet, in a triangular formation of 50 km on a side, disappearing from some sweeps and reappearing on subsequent sweeps, gradually moving to southwest to Chicago.”
Snow went on to rule out ball lightning, Chinese lanterns, and aircraft lighting, and filed the larger case as an Unknown.
“No natural phenomenon or man-made objects are a close fit as a stimulus for these events and the event stimulus remains unknown. The attached police dispatch to weather radar operator audio is an excellent credibility additive for this flap.”
BUITENAARDSE ONTVOERINGEN KOMEN VAKER VOOR DAN JE DENKT ( VIDEO )
BUITENAARDSE ONTVOERINGEN KOMEN VAKER VOOR DAN JE DENKT ( VIDEO )
Enkele dagen geleden publiceerden we het verhaal van de jongeman die ’s avonds een stukje gaat lopen en uren later “wakker” wordt op een parkeerplaats.
Hij is niet de enige, want wereldwijd komt dit vaker voor dan je zou denken en het kan in principe, vanuit ons menselijke perspectief, iedereen overkomen.
Volgens een lezer die zelf een aantal keren te maken heeft gehad met buitenaardse ontvoeringen is het duidelijk wat de jongeman uit het verhaal enkele dagen geleden is overkomen.
Ik wil even reageren op jullie stuk over deze jongeman.
Deze jongeman is ontvoerd geweest en het wondje is 1 van de eigenschappen van een ontvoering.
Als kind zijnde tot 2013 heb ik meerdere ontvoeringen meegemaakt en soms heb ik daar herinneringen aan over gehouden.
Toen ik zelf een jaar of 10 was, had ik een raar bultje op mijn rechtervoet op de wreef. De volgende ochtend toen ik wakker werd en mijn sokken wou aantrekken zag ik dat het bultje weg was en de huid had een kuiltje, was flinter dun en donkerroze van kleur.
Mijn vader begreep er ook niets van.
Voor dit geval had ik al vaker gekke dingen meegemaakt.
Echter is dit mij blijven achtervolgen, want waar ik ook heen verhuisde maakte niet uit. Ze wiste mij elke keer te vinden. Ik ben er zeker van minstens 7 keer te zijn ontvoerd en dan misschien nog enkele malen die ik niet kan herinneren.
Zelf ben ik hier nooit bang van geweest, maar je wordt wel slimmer. Tijdsbesef gaat een rol spelen als je dat zelf in de gaten houdt en weet wat je doet op een bepaald moment. Alleen zo kun je relativeren wat er is gebeurd en herinneren wat je als laatste heb gedaan.
Dus weten wat je laatste tijd is en constateren wat je nieuwe tijd is als je je niets meer kan herinneren. Zo kun je ontdekken wat er met je is gebeurd.
Mijn laatste geval was in 2013 toen ik TV zat te kijken het was rond 20.30u en had het journaal gekeken (was afgelopen). Op een gegeven moment kwam ik bij op de bank en zat weer het journaal te kijken en het was toen 20.16u. Ik was even verbaasd maar wist meteen dat het weer zover was geweest.
Zo langzamerhand heb ik in de loop der jaren vage beelden kunnen zien en heb gezien wat ze doen. Het maakt ook niet uit waar je bent, ze kunnen je zo uit je huis halen.
Ik kan alleen deze jongeman adviseren het te accepteren. Als je dat namelijk niet doet loop je achter de feiten aan en als je niet oppast zit je binnen de kortste keren aan de pillen. (terwijl je niets mankeert) Dat hebben ze bij mij ook getracht, de zielenknijpers.
NIET DOEN DUS!!!!!!! Accepteer het en leef verder.
In het Engels wordt de uitdrukking “missing time” vaak gebruikt in verband met buitenaardse ontvoeringen. Dat is nameijk in veel gevallen een typerend kenmerk: men is tijd kwijt.
Ontvoeringen kunnen op allerlei verschillende manieren plaatsvinden. Soms zien mensen een ruimteschip voordat ze tijd kwijt zijn, anderen liggen in bed en zien opeens een vreemde verschijning op de rand van hun bed en weer anderen weten absoluut niets meer, behalve dat er iets gebeurd moet zijn en dat ze "tijd kwijt zijn".

UFO swims though sky like a whale over Guadalajara, Mexico May 3, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: May 3, 2016 Location of sighting: Guadalajara, Mexico
Its not often you get to see a UFO that moves like a living, breathing animal, but this is one of those. Watch as it almost swims though the sky. Such creatures do exist in space and have been recorded on live cam, but to see them in our sky, thats even more rare. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Dark Journalist Unravels the Mystery of Offworld Secrecy and UFO Technology
Dark Journalist Unravels the Mystery of Offworld Secrecy and UFO Technology
Daniel Liszt, the dark Journalist and Catherine Austin Fitts, the former assistant Housing Secretary and Financial Expert, both unravel the web of obfuscation and disinformation around the Black Budget investment by a shadowy alliance between greedy corporate interests and Deep State political forces. This is for the UFO development through an advanced technology, which is a total manipulation of public awareness and secret system of finance through complete control of the mainstream media.
According to the whistleblowers, forces deep in the structure were reacting to the UFO threat that reached a high note in 1947. In 70 years of the existence of sightings, The National Security State has used the Exotic Offworld Technology being recovered in highly secretive retrieval programs to build their fleets of manmade extraterrestrials, incorporating Anti-Gravity, as well as the Stealth and Super Drone technology.
With the forces discovering not only the advantages in the production of military weapons but also in creating new industries and attaining large scale earnings from UFO Technology Secrets discoveries, the extreme cover-up around the whole subject of the offworld visitors has turned out to be a major overdrive. Deep Black Op programs planned to defame and discredit those involved in investigations so they can use the concealed advances in science, technology, medicine, and innovative free-energy production for the Breakaway Civilization of the military, political, and corporate interests that dominated planet Earth.
Due to the opposing arguments, there has been a clash between the truth and reality. The modern culture today is more advanced than the leadership than the issue of visitors and the advanced technology they represent. The ruling forces in media, geopolitics, and corporate, however, have no desire to expose their ultimate secret and the whole energy paradigm.
By refusing to enhance the knowledge and discoveries in society within the UFO question, the forces of the Deep State will set up the Clash of Two Worlds. They firmly believe they will prevail, and the cult of secrecy willcontinue forever.

Multiple UFOs flying over Burlington, Kentucky 2-May-2016
Here’s one new footage of a huge number of bright objects flying across the sky above Burlington in Kentucky. This happened on 2nd May 2016.
Witness report:My wife and I were driving in Burlington ky when we noticed about 30 bright orange lights moving very fast in a straight line. Then we pulled over and took a video recording with my cell phone of them. The sighting was unbelievable amd lasted roughly 10 minutes and then just disappeared.
What Would Happen If Yellowstone's Supervolcano Erupted?
What Would Happen If Yellowstone's Supervolcano Erupted?
By Becky Oskin, Contributing Writer
Hot springs in Yellowstone National Park are just one of the types of thermal features that result from volcanic activity.

Although fears of a Yellowstone volcanic blast go viral every few years, there are better things to worry about than a catastrophic supereruption exploding from the bowels of Yellowstone National Park.
Scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Yellowstone Volcano Observatory always pooh-pooh these worrisome memes, but that doesn't mean researchers are ignoring the possible consequences of a supereruption. Along with forecasting the damage, scientists constantly monitor the region for signs of molten rock tunneling underground. Scientists scrutinize past supereruptions, as well as smaller volcanic blasts, to predict what would happen if the Yellowstone Volcano did blow.
Here's a deeper look at whether Yellowstone's volcano would fire up a global catastrophe.
Probing Yellowstone's past
Most of Yellowstone National Park sits inside three overlapping calderas. The shallow, bowl-shaped depressions formed when an underground magma chamber erupted at Yellowstone. Each time, so much material spewed out that the ground collapsed downward, creating a caldera. The massive blasts struck 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 640,000 years ago. These past eruptions serve as clues to understanding what would happen if there was another Yellowstone megaexplosion. [Yellowstone and Yosemite: Two of the World's Oldest National Parks (Photos)]

If a future supereruption resembles its predecessors, then flowing lava won't be much of a threat. The older Yellowstone lava flows never traveled much farther than the park boundaries, according to the USGS. For volcanologists, the biggest worry is wind-flung ash. Imagine a circle about 500 miles (800 kilometers) across surrounding Yellowstone; studies suggest the region inside this circle might see more than 4 inches (10 centimeters) of ash on the ground, scientists reported Aug. 27, 2014, in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems.
The ash would be pretty devastating for the United States, scientists predict. The fallout would include short-term destruction of Midwest agriculture, and rivers and streams would be clogged by gray muck.
People living in the Pacific Northwest might also be choking on Yellowstone's fallout.
"People who live upwind from eruptions need to be concerned about the big ones," said Larry Mastin, a USGS volcanologist and lead author of the 2014 ash study. Big eruptions often spawn giant umbrella clouds that push ash upwind across half the continent, Mastin said. These clouds get their name because the broad, flat cloud hovering over the volcano resembles an umbrella. "An umbrella cloud fundamentally changes how ash is distributed," Mastin said.
But California and Florida, which grow most of the country's fruits and vegetables, would see only a dusting of ash.
A smelly climate shift
Yellowstone Volcano's next supereruption is likely to spew vast quantities of gases such as sulfur dioxide, which forms a sulfur aerosol that absorbs sunlight and reflects some of it back to space. The resulting climate cooling could last up to a decade. The temporary climate shift could alter rainfall patterns, and, along with severe frosts, cause widespread crop losses and famine.
The walls of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone are made up predominantly of lava and rocks from a supereruption some 500,000 years ago.
"Are we all going to die if Yellowstone erupts? Almost certainly the answer is no," said Jamie Farrell, a Yellowstone expert and assistant research professor at the University of Utah. "There have been quite a few supereruptions in the past couple million years, and we're still around."
However, scientists agree there is still much to learn about the global effects of supereruptions. The problem is that these massive outbursts are rare, striking somewhere on Earth only once or twice every million years, one study found. "We know from the geologic evidence that these were huge eruptions, but most of them occurred long enough in the past that we don't have much detail on what their consequences were," Mastin said. "These events have been so infrequent that our advice has been not to worry about it."
A far more likely damage scenario comes from the less predictable hazards — large earthquakes and hydrothermal blasts in the areas where tourists roam. "These pose a huge hazard and could have a huge impact on people," Farrell said.
Supereruption reports are exaggerated
Human civilization will surely survive a supereruption, so let's bust another myth. There is no pool of molten rock churning beneath Yellowstone's iconic geysers and mud pots. The Earth's crust and mantle beneath Yellowstone are indeed hot, but they are mostly solid, with small pockets of molten rock scattered throughout, like water inside a sponge. About 9 percent of the hot blob is molten, and the rest is solid, scientists reported on May 15, 2015, in the journal Science. This magma chamber rests between 3 to 6 miles (5 to 10 km) beneath the park.
Estimates vary, but a magma chamber may need to reach about 50 percent melt before molten rock collects and forces its way out. "It doesn't look like at this point that the [Yellowstone] magma reservoir is ready for an eruption," said Farrell, co-author of the 2015 study in the journal Science. [Can You Outrun a Supervolcano? Maybe, Study Finds]
How do researchers measure the magma? Seismic waves travel more slowly through hot or partially molten rock than they do through normal rock, so scientists can see where the magma is stored, and how much is there, by mapping out where seismic waves travel more slowly, Farrell said.
The magma storage region is not growing in size, either, at least for as long as scientists have monitored the park's underground. "It's always been this size, it's just we're getting better at seeing it," Farrell said.
Watch out for little eruptions
As with magma mapping, the science of forecasting volcanic eruptions is always improving. Most scientists think that magma buildup would be detectable for weeks, maybe years, preceding a major Yellowstone eruption. Warning signs would include distinctive earthquake swarms, gas emissions and rapid ground deformation.
Someone who knows about these warning signals might look at the park today and think, "Whoa, something weird is going on!" Yellowstone is a living volcano, and there are always small earthquakes causing tremors, and gas seeping from the ground. The volcano even breathes — the ground surface swells and sinks as gases and fluids move around the volcanic "plumbing" system beneath the park.
But the day-to-day shaking in the park does not portend doom. The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory has never seen warning signs of an impending eruption at the park, according to the USGS.
What are scientists looking for? For one, the distinctive earthquakes triggered by moving molten rock. Magma tunneling underground sets off seismic signals that are different from those generated by slipping fault lines. "We would see earthquakes moving in a pattern and getting shallower and shallower," Farrell said. To learn about the earthquake patterns to look for, revisit the 2014 eruption of Bardarbunga Volcano in Iceland. Both amateurs and experts "watched" Bardarbunga's magma rise underground by tracking earthquakes. The eventual surface breakthrough was almost immediately announced on Twitter and other social media. As with Iceland, all of Yellowstone's seismic data is publicly available through the U.S. Geological Survey's Yellowstone Volcano Observatory and the University of Utah.
"We would have a good idea that magma is moving up into the shallow depths," Farrell said. "The bottom line is, we don't know when or if it will erupt again, but we would have adequate warning."
Within the field of Ufology there are longstanding rumors that the May 22, 1949 death of James Forrestal – the first U.S. Secretary of Defense – was linked to the UFO phenomenon. So the story goes, while suffering from severe depression and anxiety, and ultimately spiraling into a complete nervous breakdown (as a result of his exposure to what the U.S. Government knew about UFOs), Forrestal was on the verge of revealing his knowledge of an alien presence on Earth. The theory continues that powerful figures decided such a thing simply could not be allowed to occur. The result was that Forrestal had to go. And “go,” he certainly did: out of a window. In the early hours of May 22, Forrestal plunged to his death from the 16th floor of the Bethesda Naval Hospital. The big question is: was he pushed or did he jump?
Of course, there’s no hard proof in the public domain that Forrestal was briefed on the more sensational and top secret aspects of the UFO phenomenon. Although, logic dictates that he would have been briefed (at least to some degree), since he accepted the position of Secretary of Defense in 1947 – the year in which the flying saucer was “born” and when the military was indeed taking the mysterious matter very seriously. Even outside of Ufology, there are suspicions that Forrestal’s death was no suicide. But, that’s not the focus of this article. Rather, the focus is on something that happenedbefore Forrestal died and prior to his admittance to Bethesda on April 2, 1949.
Just a few days before he ended up in the naval hospital, Forrestal had a curious experience which had distinct Men in Black overtones attached to it. On the day in question, Forrestal received a visit from one of his friends, a man named Ferdinand Eberstadt, someone who was deeply concerned about Forrestal’s fragile and paranoid state of mind. Eberstadt (a lawyer, a banker, and the author of a historic 1945 document, “Task Force Report on National Security Organization”) was floored by what he saw when he arrived at Forrestal’s home. All of the curtains were closed. Forrestal told his friend – in hushed tones – that listening-devices were all over the house. Sinister characters were watching his every move. His life was in danger.
James Forrestal
To demonstrate this to Eberstadt, Forrestal carefully opened one of the blinds and pointed, knowingly, in the direction of a pair of shabbily-dressed men on the street-corner. “They” were a part of it, Forrestal assured Eberstadt. In no time at all, the doorbell to Forrestal’s home was heard ringing. The last thing Forrestal wanted to do was answer the door. Fortunately, one of his staff was on hand to do exactly that. A brief conversation took place, but which neither Forrestal nor Eberstadt were able to hear. The facts, however, quickly came to Forrestal from his houseboy.
According to what the two men were told, the visitor at the door was trying to generate support that would hopefully allow him to become postmaster in his hometown. Could he come in and speak with Forrestal and have him offer some help and advice? Due to Forrestal’s fraught state of mind, the man was sent packing. Eberstadt and Forrestal watched carefully as the man walked directly towards the two badly-dressed men thatalready had Forrestal in a state of turmoil. It was even more evidence of a conspiracy against him, Forrestal grimly concluded, when he saw the three clearly engaging in conversation.
Maybe the whole thing was blown out of proportion by a man descending into a collective state of paranoia, fear, and nervous collapse. Certainly, that’s what happened. But, it’s worth noting that this odd affair, which occurred during Eberstadt’s visit, has several Men in Back-themed parallels to it. First, the Men in Black are typically described as looking not quite right: they are extremely pale-skinned, they often have bulging eyes (hidden behind wraparound shades), and (very bizarrely) are at times described as wearing wigs and make-up. Forrestal’s visitor on the day in question was described by his staff as very odd-looking.
That the man tried to gain access to Forrestal’s home – by claiming to be seeking support for a potential job as a postmaster – mirrors the 1960s-era reports of MIBfinding ways into the homes of UFO witnesses by claiming to be military personnel or police officers. In the same time-frame, Women in Black were posing as census-takers and as gypsies. They were clearly neither. The MIB are often described as wearing clothes that are shabby, dirty, and which occasionally give off an odor like dirt. The two characters that the “odd-looking” man walked towards (and began speaking to) were badly dressed. And, of course, there’s the fact that the men amounted to a trio. Particularly in the 1950s and the 1960s, the MIB turned up in threes. See, for example, Albert Bender’s book, Flying Saucers and the Three Men.
It must be stressed that none of this proves James Forrestal was murdered because of what he knew about the UFO phenomenon (or even because he may have been on the verge of revealing his knowledge to the world). It must be said, however, that the day in question was a very weird one. And not just for Forrestal, but also for Eberstadt. Even he had to admit it was all a bit odd. And, it’s worth noting the words of Dennis Stacy – a long-time and well-respected figure in Ufology, and who runs Anomalist Books with Patrick Huyghe. Of that MIB-like affair, Stacy observed in a 1993 article for Flying Saucer Review magazine titled “Forrestal’s Fall: Did He Jump, or Was He Pushed?” that “…the whole thing has the appearance of a one-act play staged for Forrestal’s ‘benefit.'”
Notably, Stacy added that the affair “begins to smack of orchestration aimed at unsettling an already unstable Forrestal.” Thought-provoking words, indeed.
Are UFOs real, and do they represent any form of tangible phenomenon? Or are UFOs merely an idea, representative of some vestige within our collective memories of a social movement, built around paranoia and international concerns following the Second World War?
To the UFO advocate, the notion that unidentified flying objects could be anything but physical, tangible aircraft would seem laughable. And yet, among the many questions we face in our study of the phenomenon, one is particularly troubling: if the UFO subject represents a single, consistent “alien” phenomenon, then why has it changed so frequently over the decades?
This question was paraphrased to me recently during a correspondence with Jason Bradley, a skeptically-minded colleague of mine. “You have discussed the idea that maybe abduction stories share some similarities between some of the other rash of paranormal claims, like the cult terror in the 70’s and 80’s,” Jason said. “I have always maintained that something glaring about the UFO phenomena is that it’s always followed patterns. Saucers to cigars, cigars to triangles, triangles to lights and so on. I’ve always found this concept interesting, and can’t think of a moment when it’s been addressed. To me this is one of those situations that belies a possible cultural and meme like experience. Ultimately tracking those patterns may help us understand where the psychological component plays into this.”
Mirroring Jason’s ideas presented above, in the past I have similarly discussed the notion that certain trends do appear to emerge, especially within memes presented in UFO literature. However, it is difficult to argue that any definite or distinct lineage emerges from these; in other words, the idea of “saucers to cigars, cigars to triangles,” and the like may not be the most accurate representation of the UFO phenomenon as it has progressed over the years. Nonetheless, there are periods of change that begin appear when looking a bit further back, which thus help to place the “modern” UFO phenomenon of the last few decades into a broader cultural context.
For instance, beginning in the 1890s we can note the prevalence of reports that involve “mystery airships”, which began to appear in many American newspapers (there are, however, similar stories that appeared elsewhere, including parts of South America, as well as Australia, around this same time). Modern UFO historians view the airship craze as a sort of “cultural predecessor” to the modern UFO phenomenon, and it is indeed interesting to note the way that such “UFOs” didn’t appear to resemble saucers, cigars, or triangles of any sort; they represented aircraft that were remarkably similar to those appearing in fiction at that time, namely the work of authors like Jules Verne. Similar to such books and stories, the prevailing theories about the origins of the mystery airships had involved some intrepid inventor who, according to many rumors, was believed to be based somewhere in California, and had managed to construct an impressive new flying machine, which he kept secret from the public.
Not to be entirely dismissive of the purported “airships” of the 1800s, my article “Airships in the 1800s: An Odd History of Aerial Phenomena” discusses a number of crude airships that were, as a matter of historical fact, actually built in California throughout the later 1800s. The most compelling of them all was (or rather, would have been) that built by a Dr. Charles Abbot Smith of San Francisco, an inventor who had garnered a large amount of publicity for his airship operation beginning in early 1896. It remains unclear whether Smith’s airship was ever able to fly, although historians Timothy Parrot and Michael Busby have been among those who have argued for the existence, and successful flight, of such a craft.
Interestingly, if one weighs the actual historical basis of the “airship craze” of the 1890s against the modern UFO era beginning in 1947, there is little similarity to be found. The most credible among the classic airship stories, ranging from inventors who actually did succeed in building crude airships, to the more far-out tales of aircraft actually observed in the sky, still seem to deal with a very earthly technology. Yes, there were some fanciful newspaper accounts that tell of the operators aboard these craft being “visitors from space”, but these were the likely concoctions of area “liars clubs”, or the occasional journalist writing on a day when legitimate news was lacking (such hoaxes were especially common during this period, and among the most famous were two penned by none other than Mark Twain).
These tales of “airships”, however, when compared with the flying saucers that would emerge after the Second World War, indeed seemed to be the stuff of very different worlds. And despite this, the early reports of “saucers” often bore little or no resemblance to any kind of disc-shaped craft at all, as I noted here of Kenneth Arnold’s famous encounter from the summer of 1947. In truth, reports of “cigar-shaped” objects preceded the era of saucers by at least a year, with the numerous reports of cigars and torpedo-like objects referred to as “ghost rockets” which purportedly swarmed the skies above Scandinavia in the summer of 1946. Similar American reports, such as that described by Captain Jack Puckett of Strategic Air Command in the summer of 1946, also predated Arnold’s sighting by several months.
Throughout the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, UFOs would appear to take every shape imaginable: some were discs, while others were rounded spheres or eggs; some were cylinders, some shaped like footballs, and some were literally described as resembling “floating houses”. By the late 80s or early 90s, reports began to emerge of odd triangle-shaped aircraft that behaved, if anything, more like blimps; like their predecessors in the 1890s, these objects first appeared mostly over California, with subsequent reports occurring in numerous other locales. In particular a “wave” of triangle-shaped UFOs were reportedly seen over Belgium during the early 1990s.
Many have opined that these modern “triangles”, rather than being some exotic alien craft, are likely to be a variety of stealth aircraft employed by the U.S. military. The benefit of a large aircraft of this sort might include the large amount of material stock or rations it could transport over a long distance in a single stop; however, the size might also be attributable, more simply, to the amount of lift required to get an object like that off the ground, again presuming that they are something akin to blimps or dirigibles.
Coming back to the notion of “trends” that emerge in UFO literature, while it may be debatable whether there are indeed “patterns” that can be attributed with any conclusiveness, it would indeed be appropriate to note the apparent changes the phenomenon seems to have undergone in decades past. Close encounters with UFO occupants were, throughout the 1950s, largely comprised of credulous-sounding occurrences espoused by individuals who, along with retelling their encounters, were equally interested in promoting their involvement in the burgeoning UFO field, and capitalizing on it if possible. Hence, stories like that of George Adamski and his meetings with “Orthon” described, rather mundanely, encounters with an “alien” that was indistinguishable from any other man… apart from his telepathic powers, and unique mode of transportation through space. However, by the early 1970s, stories of UFO contact experiences were beginning to take on a much darker tone: the abductees now told of encounters with diminutive, emotionless humanoids, replete with bug-like eyes and other insect-like features, who were focused almost solely on brief examinations of their captives.
By the 1990s, the bulk of UFO related books focused on the apparent occupants of these presumed spacecraft, as featured in the written work of authors like Budd Hopkins and others. However, today those operating within the field of UFO studies have seemed to shift focus back toward the objects themselves, rather than having such preoccupation with “beings” seen in relation to UFO encounters. And yet, even the reports of objects seen in the skies have seemingly diminished; this decline in noteworthy UFO reports is, as I have observed elsewhere, interesting for a number of reasons. It has also led a number of commentators (including those found here, here,here, and here) to believe the field of UFO research may “changing” to such an extent that it is literally dying altogether.
Looking back, an interesting trend that does emerge, rather than being related to memes present elsewhere within the field of UFOlogy, is the apparent similarity between UFO abduction cases and other, unrelated phenomena. Namely, the descriptions of hallucinatory environments described by psychedelic “experiencers”, such as those featured in the written work of researchers like Rick Strassman, M.D., come to mind. In equal measure, we find such similarities in the Satanic ritual abuse panics of the 1980s, in which horrific torture and memories of abuse are recovered through hypnosis; again, the similarities emerge in more recent claims of “super-soldiers” who argue that their memories, recovered through hypnosis, seem to indicate their secret work as a government operative, memories of which were suppressed by utilizing advanced mind control technologies.
If we look further back in the last century, hypnotic regressions have similarly facilitated belief that some may have experienced encounters with highly advanced technologies and alien environments in other ways: namely through perceived “past lives”, during which the experiencers claim to remember lives in places like the lost city of Atlantis, asdescribed by Edgar Cayce, among others.
What can be made of all this, and how might our recognition of these apparent changes or “trends” help us to reevaluate some areas of the modern study of UFOs? Perhaps, at the heart of the matter, it is still a question of how the human mind perceives UFOs, and what beliefs — whether or not founded in reality — may be built around valid observations of strange aerial objects that are collected over time.
To conclude with a final anecdote, it was the late Fortean researcher John Keel who had often reminded us that “belief is the enemy”. Much as Keel suggested, perhaps it is our belief in UFOs that informs us the most about the subject… rather than what the phenomenon itself may actually represent.
That’s Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley speaking to young military officers at the recent 100th anniversary of the ROTC program at Norwich University in Vermont. That’s right, he’s warning his future troops they will be facing “little green men.” Aliens? Martians? What does General Milley know that we don’t … yet?
General Milley warning about “little green men”
General Milley has been in the U.S. Army since 1980, served in command positions in eight divisions and Special Forces around the world and was appointed as the 39th Chief of Staff of the Army in 2015, so he should know what he’s talking about. But little green men? Shouldn’t he at least use a more military term like Miniature Jungle-Camouflaged Non-Earth Combatants?
The phrase “little green men” as a descriptor of scary beings dates back to the 12th century legend of the Green Children of Woolpit, a young brother and sister who allegedly had green skin, spoke a strange language and ate only beans (their green color could have been a dietary deficiency, although being around kids who ate only beans probably turned others green too).
As a term for extraterrestrials, folklore researcher Chris Aubeck found an article in an 1899 edition of the Atlanta Constitution referring to a little, green-skinned alien from the planet Hurrah. Edgar Rice Burroughs made what appears to be the first science fiction references to “green men of Mars” and “green Martian women” in his 1912 novel, A Princess of Mars. Aubeck also found mentions of little green men from Mars in the Daily Kennebec (Maine) Journal in 1908 and in an Italian report about a crashed spaceship a few years later. The term has since been popularized by everything from sci-fi to movies to I Love Lucy and The Flintstones.
But the U.S. Army? Maybe we should blame Russia, Ukraine, their respective medias and the conflict in Crimea for General Milley’s usage of the term. According to the BBC, after Russia took over Crimea in 2014, there were reports of armed men in solid green uniforms who were not part of the Russian army or any another known unit. They turned out to be local “self-defense groups” who bought their uniforms at military surplus stores. The Crimean locals and a Russian newspaper called them “little green men.”
Are these the “little green men” General Milley was warning about?
Was General Milley referring to covert soldiers in unidentifiable green uniforms fighting for a cause that may not be readily discernible as being friendly or the enemy?
Perhaps the new soldiers would prefer to deal with little green Martians instead.

The Universe has Trillions of Life-Supporting Planet, why haven’t we met Extraterrestrials?
The Universe has Trillions of Life-Supporting Planet, why haven’t we met Extraterrestrials?
It’s statistically pretty likely that there are plenty of planets which support life.
In fact, there are between 1 and 4 billion planets pretty much like Earth just in the Milky Way alone – and there are 100 billion galaxies out there, each with 100 to 1000 billion stars. Which means trillions and trillions of habitable planets. Right? There’s a thing called the “Fermi Paradox” that basically lays out the possible reasons why. (Yes, the Fermi Paradox came from physicist Enrico Fermi. Part of it — the odds that life exists elsewhere — is closely related to the Drake Equation). The first aspect of the Fermi Paradox is that sheer numbers concept above. The second aspect is that life tends to do well despite adversity, and it tends to colonize new habitats, pretty much all the time. So … why haven’t any E.T. types come and said hello?
Here are a few of many possible reasons:
1) Maybe it’s actually pretty difficult for complex life like that on our planet to develop. We don’t know yet. Maybe we’re unique or one of the first civilizations that’s made it this far. 2) It’s also possible that there’s a hard stop that means that any planet that supports life eventually stops supporting life and everything dies off — or kills itself. In other words, it’s possible that civilizations on all worlds hit a point where they destroy themselves, or are eliminated naturally. Always. Just as an example, 99% of all species that have ever lived on this planet are gone now.
3) This one’s scary but fascinating. Maybe there’s an ancient civilization that monitors the universe and when all worlds hit a certain point where they’re getting too big for their britches, steps in and takes them out. Bam.
4) There might be some extremely intelligent life forms out there that have checked us out, but decided to stay the heck away because we’re entirely too dangerous. I recall a Kurt Vonnegut sub-story called “The Dancing Fool” within the novel “Breakfast Of Champions” that rather hilariously depicts a version of that. Paraphrased, an alien with the knowledge to end wars and cancer but communicates solely by tap-dancing and farting lands in Connecticut, where he discovers a house on fire. He rushes in, dancing and farting away to warn them of the danger. The head of the house grabs his golf club and pummels the alien in the head until he’s quite dead. Smart aliens could take one look at us and wisely decide to stay the heck away.
5) Maybe, just maybe, we are indeed alone in the universe. I mean, it seems unlikely that this is the case based on sheer numbers. But still … it’s possible.
Time is a big factor — compared to the life of most planets and stars, humans have been here and able to communicate beyond ourselves for just a tiny sliver of time. So if someone happened across our Blue Dot and checked in on what kinds of life forms might be here, it could have been before we were even a species.
And there’s the additional consideration of distance — a ship would have to travel at thousands of times the speed of light to even cross the great divide that separates our solar system from the rest and arrive before the occupants are nothing but dust.
Maybe most or all life forms just don’t ever make it long enough to figure out how to reach out to other life-sustaining planets. It’s a daunting prospect — if it’s even possible — to travel that far, that fast. And even then, they’d have to travel specifically to our postal code in the universe in order to even find us. Unless they knew we were here by picking up our telecommunications or TV broadcasts or energy releases (nuclear bombs, NASA launches, etc.) or whatever other signals we might be casting into space, how would they know to travel here? And that’s even assuming that they’d be able to pick up those flags; they could be operating on a totally different level and wavelength. To me, it’s far more likely that we’ll find something hurtling past our planet or solar system that’s a shell of a ship or a remnant of a satellite, long empty of life and maybe much else. Or perhaps, like our Voyager space craft, someone will send something like a message in a bottle and it will long outlive the civilization which sent it off with a kiss and a wave.

Are aliens living just 40 light-years away? Astronomers 'hit the jackpot' by finding THREE Earth-sized habitable worlds bathed in 'eerie red light' around a nearby star
Are aliens living just 40 light-years away? Astronomers 'hit the jackpot' by finding THREE Earth-sized habitable worlds bathed in 'eerie red light' around a nearby star
Astronomers have spotted three Earth-sized planets orbiting a dwarf star
The miniature planetary system is just 40 light-years away from Earth
At least one of these worlds may be not too hot, not too cold, but 'just right'
Scientists said they may have 'hit the jackpot' in the search for life
They're not too hot, not too cold, and may provide just the right conditions for life to form.
Astronomers have found three Earth-sized worlds within the so-called habitable 'Goldilocks' zone of a nearby star.
The scientists believe at least one of these 'three bears' planets may be 'just right' for life to get going, giving the search for life elsewhere in the universe a significant boost.
Astronomers have found three Earth-sized worlds (artist's illustration showing one of the planets and the star) within the so-called habitable 'Goldilocks' zone of a nearby star. The scientists believe at least one of these 'three bears' planets may be 'just right' for life to get going, giving the search for life in the universe a boost
The star is around 40 light-years away. By comparison Mars is, on average and based on its orbit, 12.5 light-minutes away.
The international team of astronomers that found the planets said they are orbiting an ultracool brown dwarf star about one-eighth the size of our sun called 2MASS J23062928-0502285.
Also known as Trappist-1, this dim and cool star fades slightly at regular intervals, indicating several objects are passing between the star and the Earth.

This artist's impression shows how the star looks from the surface of one of the newly-found planets
Trappist-1 is much cooler and redder than the sun and barely larger than Jupiter. Such stars are common in the Milky Way but this is the first time planets have been found around one. The trio of exoplanets is up to 100 times closer to their star than the Earth is to the sun (illustrated) and all three could be habitable
THE SEARCH FOR LIFE
Astronomers have discovered three planets orbiting a small cold brown dwarf star.
The international team believes at least one of these 'three bears' planets may be 'just right' for life to get going.
The two innermost planets orbit in 1.5 and 2.4 days, while the third is less certain and might be anything between four and 73 days.
As the planets are tidally locked they have a half in light and half in darkness.
The team believes that the furthest out of the three, the 'Daddy Bear' planet, is the most likely to be habitable out of the three.
According to Michaël Gillon of the University of Liège, Belgium, the planetary system looks more like moons orbiting Jupiter than our conventional idea of a solar system.
'The planets are 20 to 100 times closer to their star than Earth is to the sun,' he explained.
'This is more similar in scale to the system of Jupiter's moons than the solar system.'
The team used a modest 60cm telescope, based in Chile, to find the planets.
The astronomers believe all three may be habitable, and they are now turning larger instruments on these new worlds to find out more.
While other exoplanet searches have concentrated on bright stars, Gillon and his team set up the Trappist survey specifically to scan the 60 nearest dwarf stars.
'Systems around these tiny stars are the only places where we could detect life on Earth-sized exoplanets with our current technology' he said.
'So this is where we should start to look.'
In September, Trappist-1 was seen to fade slightly at regular intervals, showing that several objects were passing in front of it. The current position of the star (bottom) is shown by a red cross. Its relative position in 1953 (top) and 1998 (middle) is indicated by a red circle to show its orbit compared to its current position
In their report, the astronomers said all three planets are likely tidally locked to their dim star, with hemispheres of permanent night and day. Other exoplanet searches have concentrated on bright stars while the latest study specifically sscans our 60 nearest dwarf stars. Stock image
In September 2015, Trappist-1 - was seen to fade slightly at regular intervals, showing that several objects were passing in front of it.
THE TRAPPIST SURVEY
The Trappist (Transiting planets and planetesimals small telescope) project goes against the flow of other exoplanet surveys, which sample large numbers of bright sun-like stars to search for potential ET homes.
The brightness of those stars means that any planets could be lost in the glare.
Cold dwarf stars are too small and cool to be seen in optical telescopes and 'shine' in the infrared band.
The astronomers at Liege argued this means these tiny red stars would not drown out a planetary signal, and so should be prime targets in the search for habitable worlds.
Further observations confirmed these were Earth-sized planets.
The two innermost planets orbit in 1.5 and 2.4 days, while the third is less certain and might be anything between four and 73 days.
The team believes this third 'Daddy Bear' planet is the most likely to be habitable out of the three.
In their report, published today in the journal Nature, the astronomers said all three planets are likely tidally locked to their dim star, with hemispheres of permanent night and day.
For the inner two, this might restrict any life-friendly sweet spots to the 'twilight zone'.
But on the third, the whole planet may be able to support life.
Because this solar system is relatively close, it should be possible to detect whether the planets have an atmosphere, and even to detect signs of life.
'We can study their atmosphere and composition, and within our generation, assess if they are actually inhabited,' added co-author Julien de Wit, an astronomer at MIT.
He added: 'All of these things are achievable, and within reach now. This is a jackpot for the field.'
In Russia, in the Caucasus mountains, not far from the cities Tzelentzchik, Touapse, Novorossiysk and Sochi, there are hundreds of megalithic monuments. The Russians call them dolmens. Russian and foreign archaeologists have not yet discovered their use. All these megalithic dolmens you see below in the pictures are dated from 10,000 years to 25,000 years ago, according to the website Kykeon. Other archaeologists put the age of these megalithic structures at 4000 to 6,000 years old.

Thousands of prehistoric megalithic monuments are known throughout the world. Some of the least known outside the former Soviet Union, however, are those in the Caucasus. These dolmens cover the Western Caucasus on both sides of the mountain ridge, in an area of approximately 12.000 square kilometers of Russia and Abkhazia.
The Caucasian dolmens represent a unique type of prehistoric architecture, built with precisely dressed cyclopic stone blocks. The stones were, for example, shaped into 90-degree angles, to be used as corners or were curved to make a perfect circle. The monuments date between the end of the 4th millennium and the beginning of the 2nd millennium B.C.

While generally unknown in the rest of Europe, these Russian megaliths are equal to the great megaliths of Europe in terms of age and quality of architecture, but are still of an unknown origin.

In spite of the variety of Caucasian monuments, they show strong similarities with megaliths from different parts of Europe and Asia, like the Iberian Peninsula, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Israel and India. A range of hypotheses has been put forward to explain these similarities and the building of megaliths on the whole, but still it remains unclear.
Approximately 3,000 of these megalithic monuments are known in the Western Caucasus, but more are constantly being found, while more and more are also being destroyed. Today, many are in great disrepair and will be completely lost if they are not protected from vandals and general neglect.
The dolmens are found in the area of Krasnodar. Krasnodar is a city and the administrative center of Krasnodar Krai, Russia, located on the Kuban River about 148 kilometers (92 mi) northeast of the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.
Concentrations of megaliths, dolmens and stone labyrinths have been found (but little studied) throughout the Caucasus Mountains, including the Abkhazia. Most of them are represented by rectangular structures made of stone slabs or cut in rocks with holes in their facade. These dolmens cover the Western Caucasus on both sides of the mountain ridge, in an area of approximately 12.000 square kilometres of Russia and Abkhazia.
The map above shows locations of known Dolmen structures. The original source for the following images came via a Russian Website
Map of dolmen locations
The dolmens have a limited variety in their architecture. The floor plans are square, trapezoidal, rectangular and round. All of the dolmens are punctuated with a portal in the center of the facade. While round portholes are the most common, square ones are also found. In front of the facade is a court that usually splays out, creating an area where rituals possibly took place. The court is usually outlined by large stone walls, sometimes over a meter high, which enclose the court. It is in this area that Bronze and Iron Age pottery has been found – which helped date these tombs -, along with human remains, bronze tools and silver, gold and semi-precious stone ornaments.
The repertoire of decoration for these tombs is not great. Vertical and horizontal zigzags, hanging triangles and concentric circles are the most common motifs. One decorative motif that is quite common is found across the top of the porthole slab. It can best be described as a lintel held up by two columns. Pairs of breasts, done in relief, have also been found on a few tombs. These breasts usually appear above the two columns of the porthole decoration. Perhaps related to these are the stone plugs, which were used to block the porthole, and are found with almost every tomb. They are sometimes phallic-shaped.
Some unusual items associated with dolmens are big round stone balls, double balls and animal sculptures.

One of the most interesting megalithic complexes – group of three dolmens – stands in a row on a hill above Zhane River on the Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar area near Gelendzhik, Russia. In this area there is a great concentration of all types of megalithic sites including settlements and dolmen cemeteries. Large stone mounds surrounded the two monuments.
Stanford’s new OceanOne humanoid robot, powered by artificial intelligence and haptic feedback systems, was specifically created for sea exploration, but not without the help of a human operator for the time being.
Honestly, the human operator thing makes me feel better because something about these humanoid robots just come off a bit creepy since they’re so close to the real thing as far as robotics go.
The OceanOne humanoid robot is outfitted with a multitude of cameras, enabling the operator to see what it sees, and also utilizes haptic feedback so that the operator can feel what the robot is feeling and also precisely control its arms.
Obviously, the dexterity, nimbleness, and compactness of the OceanOne humanoid robot is extremely unique, making it ideal for exploring delicate shipwrecks or coral reefs underwater.
Humanoid robots can do all the deep ocean exploring they want, though. I’m not mad… There’s way scarier stuff down there than the robots themselves.
The extraterrestrial presence and its political implications of are not at the centre of a public interest in the Czech Republic. The same goes for the field of ufology in general. Public awareness and knowledge about UFOs in the Czech Republic are non-existent. The Czech Republic officially has two UFO groups: best-known is Project - Glow (Prague), and there also is KPUFO (Club of Psychotronic and UFO – Plzen, western part of Czech Republic); apart from these, there also are some small regional groups.
But let us start from the beginning: since childhood, I had a strong feeling that some things are completely different than science says. After reading a book, by Erich von Däniken "Chariots of the Gods? Memories of the Future" as a teenager, I knew that my hunch was correct. Intuitively, I did never accept the idea that I come from monkeys. I knew something was wrong in our human´s history development. My views were very different from ordinary people, and I was often viewed as a man with "extravagant opinions." That's why I didn't want to study, I did not want to learn something that is not true. I got a press card and became free-lance journalist.
In 1998 I joined Project Glow, because it was the only one group interested in UFOs in Prague. I began to pursue cases of UFO abduction, because I received many letters of people describing this experience. I put together an investigation team with four colleagues. Based on my experience with this phenomenon, I wrote a book “Close Encounter of Fourth Kind” (UFO abduction in Czech Republic) (Votobia, 2002), where I collected 10 cases I explored with my team. To date we register over 130 similar cases in our database. (One is listed below).
2009 was a milestone year because of a shocking event. The main activity of Project Glow is supposed to be to gather global data and information about UFO sightings and to subsequently evaluate and process the data statistically. However, this project is too static. In my experience, they got nowhere fast and have no connection with foreign colleagues. Their evaluations are superficial and some of them are the real "armchair researchers," who prefer finding "natural explanations." Most of their researchers are debunkers and the group leader picks out carefully sceptical and very critical minded members. Exopolitics was vigorously rejected as baloney without studying it at all. They have begun to demonize Exopolitics and made a mockery of Exopolitics.
What we found out was absolutely stunning. The leader of this project has been an intelligence officer working for the Office for Foreign Relations and Information - Literally speaking it is the Intelligence service of the Czech Republic and partly belongs to Ministry of Internal Affairs. Project Glow has been compiled to obtain from their unsuspecting members information on sightings and witness testimonies for further intelligence processing.
Together with four of my colleagues, I immediately left the project, and established an Exopolitics group (2009). Now, we have about 15-20 exopolitical members or active supporters.
As an example I attach one of the intriguing cases. Interestingly, many participants later experienced "strange dreams", where they saw themselves on board of a spaceship and depicted the weird scenes with “lying on the tables”, watching something like “monitors” with “holograms”. They were shown a variety of “technical devices” or propulsion technology. All “dreamers” agreed that the beings were very tall and human-like in appearance. They described them as neither positive nor negative.
According to an eyewitness living in a small city south east of Prague a very interesting case occurred during a summer camp where the children attending it experienced encounters with strange beings. The case also reports about multiple observations of the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) phenomenon.
A strange incident occurred during a summer camp for children
This incident happened in 1991. My daughter Petra was about to attend a summer camp for children, which she does every year. At the time she was 9-10 years old, and, like all school children, she was eagerly anticipating the upcoming two months of summer vacation. At the time we had recently moved to a new apartment, and while the children were attending the summer camp I used the time to complete some pending work in it.
The summer camp was located within the vicinity of Prague, in a place called Pelhrimov, approximately 120 km south east. After the summer camp was completed the children returned to their homes. During a chat with my daughter we asked her about the summer camp experiences, and she astonished me by asking what I thought about flying saucers. I was of course wondering why she asked about this, especially since the family never discussed such topics as UFOs. We were simply not interested in it.
After Petra had asked me this question, it seemed she could sense my hesitance and uncertainty, so she decided to solve the situation herself. She called on her friend, who was on a visit and who had also attended the summer camp. Both girls began to describe what they experienced while attending the summer camp only some days before.
Where do the lights come from?
Art by Sandra, 2013
It was during the last evening, and all the children were gathered around a large camp fire singing songs, playing guitar, and basically enjoying the last weekend before they were to head home the following day. Later that evening, around 10 or 11pm, the darkness around the camp suddenly changed, and the place was illuminated.
Everybody was wondering what was going on, and the children as well as the camp leaders raised their heads to watch above and see where the lights came from. All the camp participants could then observe a big flying saucer silently crossing the night sky. In a similar way as spotlights the saucer emitted three beams of light that were shining over the whole camp.
According to witnesses around the saucer itself there was a huge glow making it look as blue as a clear day. While it hovered in a still manner above the camp site its beams searched the ground easily, and of course, shortly after chaos ensued among the children and adults as well. Immediately the camp leaders brought the children into their respective tents, and a curfew was immediately implemented allowing no one to leave or look outside their tents.
But some of the most curious children kept peeping out of the tents towards the night sky. The flying saucer had set in motion and moved itself closer to the nearby forest. Again it stopped and hovered silently above some tall spruces. Disconnected from the bottom of the saucer, a large glowing sphere descended slowly towards the ground behind the forest. Shortly after a loud noise and a roar was heard, and after some time had passed the saucer started to hover above the forest again. Paradoxically, while a strict curfew had been implemented, the ban was only adhered to by the adults.
Three strange figures
Art by Sandra, 2013
A small group of girls, among them my daughter Petra, decided to pretend to go to the rest room so that they could escape from the tent to undertake an adventurous expedition. Their curiosity was great, and beside, the rest room facility was placed right next to the forest anyway. While heading back to the camp from the adventurous expedition two of the girls suddenly froze. Inside the forest on the path leading to the camp [three] tall white figures were observed, approximately two meters in height. To the girls these figures resembled tall people dressed in space suits. To see their faces was not possible since they wore something akin to modern-day space helmets. In a rather surprisingly manner the group of girls and the three white figures kept gazing at each other.
What followed appeared to be some kind of mutual examination, and shortly after the white figures began to retreat. In a slow motion they turned around and headed back into the forest. The girls ran all the way to their tents and informed the camp leaders about their experience. Apparently the girls were not the only ones who had observed the white figures. Other children had observed them as well. After the incident when the saucer first started to emerge over the camp the children had observed a sphere ascending over the top of the trees before returning to the flying saucer. Others observed that the sphere had withdrawn into the bottom of the saucer. The UFO then slowly moved away silently, and eventually the camp fell asleep.
Who made such a mess?
The next morning when everybody woke up no one could believe what they saw. A big camp fire leaves very little fine dust and ashes, and in any case, this is often scattered immediately around the camp fire area. But a sorry sight was presented to the camp participants. Everything that was composed of wood, such as benches that the children sat on around the camp fire, had been chopped and demolished into small pieces. Even the axe that had been left outside by the camp fire site had been demolished, and only its metal part was intact. How the camp destruction had happened could not be explained by anybody. Fortunately, the cabins and tents which the camp participants slept in remained absolutely undamaged.
After the morning cleaning routine, a group of the oldest children set off towards the place where the sphere or ball of light appeared the previous night. The site was only located a five-minute walk away. At the site the group could see what appeared to be a landing area. The clearing was small surrounded by high trees. The group also observed a circular pit in the middle of what was understood to be the landing area. They estimated it was six meters in diameter and one meter in depth. The edge of the pit was cut very precisely. The area of the forest ground where flora and fauna existed had disappeared. The examination completed by the group left them both shocked and surprised since they concluded that the unknown nightly visit from the night before had taken pieces of wood with them. Shortly after the examination the group returned to the camp to meet the parents who were waiting for them to take them home.
This case was released by Exopolitics Czech Republic.

EXCLUSIVE: AUSTRALIA'S SECRET UFO FILES RELEASED TODAY
EXCLUSIVE: AUSTRALIA'S SECRET UFO FILES RELEASED TODAY
It is probably the closest Australia has come to scrambling fighter jets to intercept a UFO.
Documents that have just become available under the 30-year rule at the National Archives of Australia reveal how two RAAF Mirage jets were placed on the second highest level of alert to determine the cause of unidentified radar contacts seen on screens at Mascot.
The ''X Files'' viewed in Canberra also give details of other unexplained sightings, some of which are supported by witness statements to police.
In the Sydney alert, the papers stamped ''restricted'' tell how operation ''Close Encounter'' was launched by No.3 Control and Reporting Unit at RAAF Base Williamtown near Newcastle on June 30, 1983, after the phenomenon was first noticed earlier in the month.
AUTRALIA'S X-FILES RELEASED
Senior air controllers at Mascot said the contacts were mostly located between 70 and 150 nautical miles north of Sydney at ''alleged speeds of 1100-6500 km/h that suggested high altitude''.
The papers state that no scramble was to occur in the round-the-clock operation unless confirmation of any reported tracks was made on the radar screens at RAAF Williamtown or any radar other than Sydney.
At the same time, three senior air defence controllers were dispatched to Sydney to investigate and plot every contact and ''control interceptors against these contacts if a reasonable chance of interception presented itself''. But then one of the defence controllers, a squadron leader, asked whether a comparison had been made of the contacts on the screens of Mascot's Area Approach Radar Centre and those in a ''workshop across the corridor''. Soon after, tests showed that the ''unidentified objects reported by Sydney were generated entirely by radar interference known colloquially as 'running rabbits' ''.
Squadron leader K. Keenan, in his six-page report, said operation Close Encounter cost 66½ days of overtime, 1000 kilometres was travelled by a staff car and a C130 Hercules transport aircraft ''may have been diverted to Sydney airport'' to deliver one of the defence controllers.
He wrote: ''The lines of communication, extending as they did across the width of an entire corridor, seem to have been insufficient for the purpose.''
He added rather dryly: ''Fortunately there was no temptation to launch aircraft and add to the fuel bill occasioned by use of the RAAF Datsun.'' A cautiously worded statement was released as a result ''in a manner that would not embarrass departmental personnel'' which blamed ''random atmospheric conditions''. Other reports in the X Files give details of an ''unidentified physical feature'' of circles on Milo Station at Adavale, Queensland, in 1982. The file refers to photographs that apparently were taken, but they were not among the papers.
Constable Geoffrey Russell, from the local police station, visited the site and wrote a report for RAAF Base Amberley near Ipswich. The officer saw depressions in the ground and thought they were caused by a motorcyclist doing donuts but then dismissed the idea.
He wrote: ''I strongly feel this [is] no hoax even though I do not know the cause of this 'feature'.''
He described a large circle of 2330mm in diameter with one inner circle of 2010mm which were 160mm in width and about 15-20 mm deep. The soil around the outer circle appeared to have been ''blown away'', he said.
Elsewhere in Queensland, dairy farmer Robin Priebe phoned Imbil police at 5.30am in July 1983 to report seeing a strange object in the sky to the north of the town. The papers state that a Sergeant Waterson then went to his back verandah and saw ''a large white light with several flashing lights around it'' which did not appear to be a normal aircraft.
A similar sighting was made by Constable R. Keys from a separate position. He was also of the opinion that it wasn't a normal aircraft.
Mr Priebe said both he and his wife saw a bright red glow gradually change to a white light which then started to move slowly east. Through binoculars, ''the light was disc shaped with a very bright light around the perimeter of the disc with two flashing lights in the front and one to the side'', he said.
AUTRALIA UFO FILES
The only photographs in the X Files were of unusual lights over Bendigo, witnessed by hundreds in May 1983. An interim report by the RAAF stated that Mike Evans, a 17-year-old disc jockey with the Bendigo radio station 3BO, received calls from listeners, then saw the lights himself and took photos.
One anonymous caller to the RAAF said the lights were caused by a rock group experimenting with laser lighting. The report said they were probably caused by train headlights or lasers or from planets or stars. There had been unusual weather atmospherics on the night.
Zoe¨ D'Arcy, director of digital and online access at the National Archives, said: ''Where you and I might think UFO - a spaceship - the RAAF and other agencies were probably wondering if there was a security threat.
''Most of the files you read and you think that most probably was a meteorite, but there are ones that you read and you think - well, what could that have been?
''I can't explain that from my knowledge ( via smh.com.au ).
''So what was it that these people have experienced? It has that open-ended question to it that I find really intriguing.''
Britse wetenschappers: “Grotten op Mars wemelen mogelijk van leven
Britse wetenschappers: “Grotten op Mars wemelen mogelijk van leven”
-Wetenschappers zeggen dat grotten op Mars mogelijk wemelen van leven. Op afbeeldingen gemaakt door ruimtesondes zijn ingangen van ondergrondse netwerken te zien die ze graag willen verkennen. Dat meldt de Britse Daily Telegraph.
Er is alleen één probleem: geen van de huidige Marsrovers kan deze mysterieuze werelden binnengaan. Tijdens toekomstige missies is het de bedoeling dat astronauten in een baan om de rode planeet draaien en vanuit een ruimteschip de rovers aan het oppervlak besturen.
“De grot is een ideale plek om sporen van leven te vinden omdat je er beschermd bent tegen externe elementen,” zei dr. Elie Allouis. “Zodra we de grot binnengaan hebben we echter geen toegang meer tot zonne-energie en zijn we afhankelijk van batterijen. Dat betekent dat we vrij snel moeten werken in een donkere en zeer uitdagende omgeving.”
Methaan
Dr. Allouis hoopt sporen van microben te vinden in de grotten of op de stenen die niet worden blootgesteld aan de straling. “In de lavatunnels op Mars is mogelijk een hele nieuwe wereld om te verkennen.”
In december 2014 ontdekte Marsrover Curiosity kortdurende pieken in het methaangehalte van de Marsatmosfeer. De bevindingen duiden op de mogelijkheid van leven op de rode planeet. Op aarde wordt 90 procent van het methaangas namelijk uitgescheiden door levende organismen.
In Zuid-Afrika zijn tot op meer dan 1,5 kilometer diepte micro-organismen aangetroffen, dus wetenschappers zijn er zeker van dat microben ook onder de permafrost op Mars kunnen overleven.
Andere plekken
In 2018 gaat de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA een rover naar Mars sturen die op zoek gaat naar leven. Het wagentje wordt uitgerust met een boor waarmee tot een diepte van twee meter kan worden geboord. De Marsrovers van NASA kunnen maar een paar centimeter diep boren.
“Als we leven vinden op Mars betekent dat dat leven iets heel gewoons is in het zonnestelsel,” zei dr. Allouis. “Misschien gaan we het ook op andere plekken aantreffen.”
“We dachten eerst dat veel droge plekken op aarde zoals woestijnen niet geschikt waren voor leven, maar we hebben ontdekt dat het overal op aarde wemelt van leven,” besloot hij. “Leven vindt altijd een manier om te bestaan.”
De mysterieuze stenen van Ica in Peru: bewijs voor een hoogontwikkelde beschaving in de prehistorie?
De mysterieuze stenen van Ica in Peru: bewijs voor een hoogontwikkelde beschaving in de prehistorie?
In de stad Ica in het zuiden van Peru staat het museum van dr. Javier Cabrera. Hij is enkele jaren geleden overleden en het museum wordt nu gerund door zijn dochter Eugenia. Dat schrijft de Epoch Times.
Er zijn naar verluidt meer dan 50.000 gegraveerde stenen gevonden in de woestijn rond Ica. Zo’n 20.000 daarvan worden in het museum bewaard. Het eerste wat opvalt aan de stenen is dat ze uit twee lagen bestaan: basalt in het midden en andesiet aan de buitenkant.
Op de stenen staan activiteiten van een oud volk afgebeeld. De meest spectaculaire en mysterieuze exemplaren lijken hersenoperaties, harttransplantaties en genetische experimenten te tonen. Op sommige stenen zijn afbeeldingen te zien van telescopen en mensen die naar de sterren kijken.
Geheim
Niemand weet precies wat de graveringen betekenen. Een boer zou ooit zijn begonnen de stenen te verkopen aan toeristen. Het verhaal gaat dat hij onder druk zou hebben toegegeven de stenen zelf te hebben gemaakt.
Het is zelfs voor één iemand een lastige opgave om meer dan 50.000 stenen te graveren. Laten we zeggen dat hij al 50 jaar bezig is. Dat zou betekenen dat hij er meer dan 1000 per jaar heeft gegraveerd, oftewel drie per dag.
Is het mogelijk dat één iemand deze stenen heeft gemaakt? Of een kleine groep? Hoe kan het dat ze zo lang geheim zijn gebleven? Hoe kan een arme boer uit het zuiden van Peru met zulke precisie stenen graveren?
Encyclopedie
Cabrera stelde dat de stenen een encyclopedie vormden. Zijn theorie was dat een superintelligente beschaving in het gebied heeft geleefd. Een beschaving die veel kennis had over astronomie, natuurkunde en geneeskunde.
Dit volk zou een grote ramp hebben zien aankomen en de kennis voor toekomstige generaties hebben overgeleverd door middel van stenen. Cabrera geloofde dat de stenen ooit bewaard werden in een grot die nog ontdekt moet worden.
Op de stenen zijn ook dinosaurussen te zien, wat zou betekenen dat de beschaving heeft samengeleefd met de dinosaurussen.
Wetenschapper: “Ik heb bewezen dat buitenaardse hybrides bestaan en op aarde rondlopen”
Wetenschapper: “Ik heb bewezen dat buitenaardse hybrides bestaan en op aarde rondlopen”
Een expert op het gebied van groene energie zegt overtuigd te zijn dat aliens in het geheim buitenaards DNA hebben ingebracht bij zwangere vrouwen. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
Miguel Mendonça, die nauw betrokken is geweest bij het Britse energiebeleid, beweert dat er op deze manier steeds meer hybride aliens op aarde komen. Volgens hem helpen ze ons om ‘hogere wezens’ te worden.
Hij is er zelfs van overtuigd dat hij door zijn contact met de hybrides is genezen van MS. Mendonça heeft al veel geschreven over groene energie, maar zijn nieuwe boek Meet the hybrids gaat over een heel ander onderwerp.
‘We weten waarom ze hier komen en wie ze zijn’
Samen met Barbara Lamb interviewde hij acht mensen die claimen geïmplanteerd te zijn met buitenaards DNA en deel uitmaken van een missie om de mensheid te verbeteren. Mendonça gelooft dat deze mensen de waarheid spreken.
“Als wetenschapper doe ik onderzoek naar duurzame energie, dus ik moet zeker zijn van mijn feiten,” zei hij. “Deze hybriden verhogen de trilling en ontwaken mensen. Ik ga nu ook door dit proces. Je kunt er niet omheen.”
Mendonça wilde in eerste instantie alleen de verhalen van de mensen delen en had geen idee dat ze ook zijn leven zouden veranderen. Hij denkt nu het mysterie rond UFO’s te hebben opgelost. “We weten waarom ze hier komen en wie ze zijn.”
Ascensie
Iedere ‘hybride’ kreeg dezelfde vragen voorgeschoteld. Al snel werd duidelijk dat de verhalen veel overeenkomsten hadden. Robert Frost-Fullington (36) uit Californië beweert DNA te hebben van vier buitenaardse soorten, te weten de Reptilians, de Siriërs, de Tall Whites en een soort die eruitziet als een bidsprinkhaan.
In het boek zegt hij dat de wezens implantaten hebben ingebracht onder zijn tong toen hij vijf jaar oud was. De mensen die zijn geïnterviewd claimen dat het hun missie is om de ‘frequentie’ of ‘trilling’ op aarde te ‘verhogen’.
Ze zeggen allemaal dat er een zogeheten ascensie plaatsvindt waarbij mensen evolueren van de derde naar een vijfde dimensie, waar zaken als oorlog en geweld niet zouden bestaan.
Supersoldaten
Tatiana Amore (34) uit het zuiden van Engeland zegt dat ze van het ‘Pleiadische’ ras is. “De aarde verandert en gaat naar een nieuwe frequentie die lichter en beter is voor mensen,” zei ze.
Op de vraag waarom hij de ouders van de hybrides niet heeft geïnterviewd antwoordde Mendonça: “Sommige ouders wilden er niets van weten omdat ze christenen van de oude stempel zijn.”
De ondervraagden wilden geen DNA afstaan uit angst dat ‘geheime militaire projecten het dan zouden gebruiken om supersoldaten te creëren’. Mendonça voegde daaraantoe dat Robert wel openstaat voor een DNA-onderzoek.

The incident occurred beginning at 9:35 p.m. on April 12, 2016, on a clear night when the witness just happened to look out a dining room window.
“I noticed two flashing lights in the lower west,” the witness stated.“They were brighter than airplanes.”
The witness described the lights and their actions.
The witness first noticed two lights hovering in the distant sky. Pictured: Fort Wayne, Indiana. (Credit: Google)
“I kept looking at them. And one would flash/blink off and on – blink, blink, blink – and then the other one on the right would do the same thing back – blink, blink, blink. They did this a few times, and then all of a sudden the one on the left changed its shape, like a long light beam that stretched out. It changed back to the star shape, but then it stretched out again. It reminded me of lightning going horizontally. Weird.”
The witness continued to watch.
Both lights began to blink in sequence at each other. Pictured: Fort Wayne, Indiana. (Credit: Google)
“The light on the right stayed the same, but blinked. Then, I saw a smaller light fly by quickly heading to the southeast. It looked like the light flew between them. It all happened in under three minutes. The two larger lights got smaller and then headed west and disappeared quickly.”
Indiana MUFON Chief Investigator Phil Leech investigated and closed this case as an Unknown. Fort Wayneis in Allen County, IN, population 258,522. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Enkele dagen geleden liep een man die langs het water woont in het Amerikaanse Tampa Bay in Florida naar de achterkant van het huis om de hond uit te laten.
Tot zijn verbazing ziet hij precies hetzelfde soort ruimteschip zoals die ook worden gesignaleerd bij de vulkanen in Mexico, bij het ISS ruimtestation en op Mars.
De getuige in Florida die het bijzondere object in de lucht waarnam vertelt het volgende:
Het was ongeveer kwart voor acht ’s avonds. Ons huis ligt vlakbij het water van Tampa Bay. Ik liep naar de achterkant van ons huis om de hond uit te laten.
Toen zag ik opeens een sigaarvormig object dat van zuidoost richting zuid bewoog. Ik kon het object niet identificeren.
Nadat ik het object ongeveer 45 seconden had geobserveerd, verscheen er plotseling een oranje bol/orb aan de rechterkant van het object. Na twee of drie seconden knipperde het als het ware uit.
Dit was het moment waarop mijn iPhone pakte en een nogal bibberende opname maakte van het object van ongeveer 45 seconden.
Het object voerde niet de normale navigatielichten zoals je die op een vliegtuig ziet en maakte geen geluid.
In de video zie je op een gegeven moment een vogel voorbij vliegen, waardoor je een beetje een indruk krijgt van de grootte van het object. Dit zou je misschien ook kunnen gebruiken om de snelheid van het object vast te stellen.
Toen het object zich wat verder van mij verwijderde, rende ik naar binnen om mijn verrekijker te pakken, maar toen ik terugkwam was het verdwenen.
De laatste jaren worden er regelmatig grote sigaarvormige UFO’s waargenomen op bepaalde plekken, waardoor we misschien een indicatie hebben waarvoor ze worden gebruikt.
Hierna volgt een deel uit een eerder artikel van enkele jaren geleden met typische plaatsen waar dit soort schepen regelmatig wordt aangetroffen.
Enkele dagen geleden zagen we de volgende vreemde sigaar- of cilindervormige UFO verschijnen boven Mars, zoals we schreven in een artikel op 2 mei 2014.
In dat artikel hebben we verder gewezen op de meer dan opvallende overeenkomsten met de sigaarvormige UFO die verdween in de Popocatépetl vulkaan in Mexico.
Nu verschijnen er ook ineens twee sigaarvormige UFO’s bij het Internationale Ruimtestation, ISS.
Zoals te doen gebruikelijk bij NASA; op het moment dat ze merken dat er via de ISS camera UFO’s in beeld komen, wordt het beeld uitgezet.
Zo ook in de volgende video, waar na ongeveer 1 minuut 20, wanneer de sigaarvormige UFO’s in beeld komen, het testbeeld verschijnt.
Sigaarvormige UFO’s bij de vulkaan in Mexico, het ISS en boven Mars. Allemaal zonder dat NASA of de (Amerikaanse) overheid daar iets van af zou weten? De wereld moet wel heel erg goedgelovig zijn om dat allemaal te slikken.
Daarnaast is er ook nog door de Russen een sigaarvormige UFO vastgelegd in de buurt van Mars. Dit incident is door ons eerder beschreven in een publicatie van 4 mei 2013. Hier volgt een deel van dat bewuste artikel:
"In juli 1988 stuurden de Russen twee onbemande ruimteschepen richting Mars, de Phobos 1 en de Phobos 2. Het doel van de missie was om onderzoek te doen naar de geheimzinnige maan van Mars, Phobos. Na twee maanden verloor men alle contact met Phobos 1 en verdween deze voor altijd uit beeld. Ook Phobos 2 ging uiteindelijk verloren, maar niet nadat er een aantal vreemde zaken waren voorgevallen.
In januari 1989 arriveerde Phobos 2 veilig bij Mars en begon haar omloopbaan om de planeet. De volgende stap was om het ruimteschip in een zodanige omloopbaan te brengen waardoor hij in feite in tandem zou vliegen met de maan Phobos. Hierdoor zou men dan de mogelijkheid creëren om deze maan met geavanceerde apparatuur te onderzoeken.
In eerste instantie ging alles goed, totdat men probeerde Phobos 2 uit te lijnen met de maan Phobos. Op 28 maart kwam het Russische controlecentrum met het bericht dat er communicatieproblemen met het ruimteschip waren. verder dat Phobos 2 niet langer communiceerde nadat hij een dag daarvoor een rondje had gemaakt rondom de maan Phobos. Ook werd het contact later niet hersteld waardoor ook de Phobos 2 als verloren werd beschouwd.
Echter, net voordat het contact volledig werd verbroken stuurde de Phobos 2 een aantal vreemde beelden naar de aarde. De volgende foto laat een ongewone schaduw zien op het maanoppervlak.
Wat het ook was dat deze schaduw veroorzaakte, de experts waren het er over eens dat het niet iets natuurlijks was. De grootte van de schaduw op het oppervlak van Mars geeft aan dat het object ergens tussen de 20 en 25 kilometer lang moet zijn.
Dan blijft het een lange tijd stil. Totdat de vroegere Russische kosmonaute Marina Popovich een persconferentie geeft in 1991 waar ze met de volgende geheime foto komt. Het is de allerlaatste infraroodfoto die Phobos 2 naar de aarde heeft gestuurd.
Als je bedenkt dat de totale lengte van de maan Phobos ongeveer 22 kilometer is dan zie je dat dit vreemde object eveneens een lengte heeft van ergens tussen de 20 en 25 kilometer, even groot als de schaduw van het object op het oppervlak van Mars".
Hoe lang zouden ze het bij NASA nog vol kunnen houden dat er niets te vinden is op Mars behalve wat kale rotsen.
Nadat we eerder deze week zagen dat er zelfs wapens op Mars worden gevonden, is er nu een wandelend iemand ontdekt.
Het grote probleem dat NASA heeft, is dat er mensen zijn die niets anders doen de hele dag dan de door hen vrijgegeven foto’s bestuderen.
Natuurlijk doen ze hun uiterste best om te proberen dingen die het publiek niet mag zien, weg te poetsen, maar als je mensen hebt zoals een Streetcap1 moet je dat wel heel goed doen, want anders ziet hij het.
Dit keer ziet hij een wandelend iemand op Mars die er als volgt uitziet.
Ook wanneer je goed naar de omgeving kijkt, zie je alles behalve een natuurlijk landschap. Rechte lijnen en hoeken worden meestal niet door de natuur gevormd.
Je ziet dat heel duidelijk als je naar het soort balkvorm kijkt, links van het wandelend figuur.
Volgens de experts is maar een heel klein mannetje van ongeveer 5 centimeter hoog met een hoofd met een langgerekte schedel.
En zelfs al zou het geen mannetje zijn dan is het duidelijk iets wat niet door de natuur gevormd kan zijn en dan in ieder geval wederom bewijs dat er leven is (geweest) op Mars.
I really like this talk he is giving. At 45 seconds into the video he states, "you will be dealing with little green men." He is in the DOD, in Washington DC, dealing with sensitive issues like...aliens. It seems he let it slip out, because keeping that kind of news secret is a crime...and everyone in on the secret knows that. The guilt drives them to confess sooner or later.
I got a friend in the DOD in Washington DC right now, I wonder if he has seen this and what he thinks about it?
News states: The current pope is no stranger to the topic of ET’s. We are all familiar with the notion of predictive programming which is designed to desensitize the people to coming trends and judge the reaction of the masses. There is a predictive trend going on right now and it involves a resurgence in the concept of an alien invasion of the of the planet. A Distinctive Up Tick In Predictive Programming I have been noticing a trend in restaurants, with the sponsoring of Hollywood movies with an extraterrestrial overtone and this tone is reaching a crescendo within the past month. In a search for predictive programming trends, I have noticed a distinct pattern with regard various networks to play older movies that involve the people of the Earth versus some alien threat. Even the Denny’s Restaurant chain of stores is obsessed and has entered into a partnership with the sequel to independence Day. Key General Predicts that Graduating Officers Will One Day Fight Aliens The following video depicts General Mark A Milley, mentioning “little green men”, and he’s not joking” as being one of the potential adversaries in the lineup of enemies that a graduating class of military officers will one day have to fight.

UFO Encounter in 1966: What Happened At Beverly USA?
UFO Encounter in 1966: What Happened At Beverly USA?
To have an encounter with an alien is something one will never forget for the rest of his life. The victims of this crucial and rampant phenomenon will have a unique outlook on their everyday lives. It plants on a memory deep down that it cannot be erased in any way possible. This puzzling case took place in Beverly, Massachusetts on April 22, 1966, and involves nine witnesses. This dramatic encounter is viewed as being the most persuasive arguments for the extraterrestrial hypothesis. The occurrence began to appear at 9:00 p.m. when Nancy Modugno was laying in bed. Later on, she noticed a blinking light through her window. At forty feet away, an unidentified object of an automobile size brightly flashed in colors green, blue, white, and red lights. As it moved in low altitude; the football-shaped spacecraft has a whizzing and ricocheting sound. The object descended behind the trees behind Beverly High School.
She was terrified and told her father. Later on, the two friends of her mother saw the flashing lights in the field. Together with Claire, her mother, three of them walked down to the hill and saw something unusual. Three objects were hovering in the sky, circling and halting as if they were playing. The mysterious unknown objects were oval-shaped that has bright flashing lights. According to them, the object appeared larger as it drew closer. Since the colors were right, it became visible to other resident making the police officers to see and investigate the incident. Initially, Officers Mahan and Bossie asked the location of the airplane, but when it drew closer to them, they were shaking.
It had three lights – green, red, and blue without noise. Just as the policemen got out of the vehicle, the disc passed over the school and started to move slowly. Before it disappeared behind buildings, the speed accelerated.
EXCLUSIVE: AUSTRALIA'S SECRET UFO FILES RELEASED TODAY
EXCLUSIVE: AUSTRALIA'S SECRET UFO FILES RELEASED TODAY
It is probably the closest Australia has come to scrambling fighter jets to intercept a UFO.
Documents that have just become available under the 30-year rule at the National Archives of Australia reveal how two RAAF Mirage jets were placed on the second highest level of alert to determine the cause of unidentified radar contacts seen on screens at Mascot.
The ''X Files'' viewed in Canberra also give details of other unexplained sightings, some of which are supported by witness statements to police.
In the Sydney alert, the papers stamped ''restricted'' tell how operation ''Close Encounter'' was launched by No.3 Control and Reporting Unit at RAAF Base Williamtown near Newcastle on June 30, 1983, after the phenomenon was first noticed earlier in the month.
Senior air controllers at Mascot said the contacts were mostly located between 70 and 150 nautical miles north of Sydney at ''alleged speeds of 1100-6500 km/h that suggested high altitude''.
The papers state that no scramble was to occur in the round-the-clock operation unless confirmation of any reported tracks was made on the radar screens at RAAF Williamtown or any radar other than Sydney.
At the same time, three senior air defence controllers were dispatched to Sydney to investigate and plot every contact and ''control interceptors against these contacts if a reasonable chance of interception presented itself''. But then one of the defence controllers, a squadron leader, asked whether a comparison had been made of the contacts on the screens of Mascot's Area Approach Radar Centre and those in a ''workshop across the corridor''. Soon after, tests showed that the ''unidentified objects reported by Sydney were generated entirely by radar interference known colloquially as 'running rabbits' ''.
Squadron leader K. Keenan, in his six-page report, said operation Close Encounter cost 66½ days of overtime, 1000 kilometres was travelled by a staff car and a C130 Hercules transport aircraft ''may have been diverted to Sydney airport'' to deliver one of the defence controllers.
He wrote: ''The lines of communication, extending as they did across the width of an entire corridor, seem to have been insufficient for the purpose.''
He added rather dryly: ''Fortunately there was no temptation to launch aircraft and add to the fuel bill occasioned by use of the RAAF Datsun.'' A cautiously worded statement was released as a result ''in a manner that would not embarrass departmental personnel'' which blamed ''random atmospheric conditions''. Other reports in the X Files give details of an ''unidentified physical feature'' of circles on Milo Station at Adavale, Queensland, in 1982. The file refers to photographs that apparently were taken, but they were not among the papers.
Constable Geoffrey Russell, from the local police station, visited the site and wrote a report for RAAF Base Amberley near Ipswich. The officer saw depressions in the ground and thought they were caused by a motorcyclist doing donuts but then dismissed the idea.
He wrote: ''I strongly feel this [is] no hoax even though I do not know the cause of this 'feature'.''
He described a large circle of 2330mm in diameter with one inner circle of 2010mm which were 160mm in width and about 15-20 mm deep. The soil around the outer circle appeared to have been ''blown away'', he said.
Elsewhere in Queensland, dairy farmer Robin Priebe phoned Imbil police at 5.30am in July 1983 to report seeing a strange object in the sky to the north of the town. The papers state that a Sergeant Waterson then went to his back verandah and saw ''a large white light with several flashing lights around it'' which did not appear to be a normal aircraft.
A similar sighting was made by Constable R. Keys from a separate position. He was also of the opinion that it wasn't a normal aircraft.
Mr Priebe said both he and his wife saw a bright red glow gradually change to a white light which then started to move slowly east. Through binoculars, ''the light was disc shaped with a very bright light around the perimeter of the disc with two flashing lights in the front and one to the side'', he said.
AUTRALIA UFO FILES
The only photographs in the X Files were of unusual lights over Bendigo, witnessed by hundreds in May 1983. An interim report by the RAAF stated that Mike Evans, a 17-year-old disc jockey with the Bendigo radio station 3BO, received calls from listeners, then saw the lights himself and took photos.
One anonymous caller to the RAAF said the lights were caused by a rock group experimenting with laser lighting. The report said they were probably caused by train headlights or lasers or from planets or stars. There had been unusual weather atmospherics on the night.
Zoe¨ D'Arcy, director of digital and online access at the National Archives, said: ''Where you and I might think UFO - a spaceship - the RAAF and other agencies were probably wondering if there was a security threat.
''Most of the files you read and you think that most probably was a meteorite, but there are ones that you read and you think - well, what could that have been?''
I can't explain that from my knowledge ( via smh.com.au ).
''So what was it that these people have experienced? It has that open-ended question to it that I find really intriguing.''

Researcher Discovers Huge Structures on the Surface of Venus
Researcher Discovers Huge Structures on the Surface of Venus
After NASA made public thousands of images showing the surface of Venus, it didn’t take long for a vigilant UFO hunter to spot the anomalies lying on the surface of the planet that’s second to the Sun.
Although some would expect Venus to be an inhabitable place, the presumed artificial structures discovered there may change the way we perceive things from now on.
YouTube user and UFO hunter mundodesconocito uploaded a video (below) revealing strange structures that he claims to be colossal alien cities.
His claims are based on a thorough analysis of the photos published by NASA from the Venusian mission of their Magellan probe that operated between the 80s and 90s, providing invaluable images of the surface.
To highlight the formations that he presumes to be of artificial nature, the man made 3d models of them to furtherly increase the visual experience, and for others to realize that they’re not volcanos, nor impact craters left by asteroids.
“The Magellan probe sent to Venus that operated in the late 80s and 90s, collected an enormous amount of images that have finally been published by NASA in which huge cities, artificial structures and all kinds of elements that seem to resemble constructions… by some kind of alien race that inhabited or colonized the second planet in our solar system,” the man wrote.
“In the following video, we show those buildings that we have found and their interpretation in three dimensions if them.”
Could these structures be artificial after all, or is there a more rational explanation for all these formations? To understand if he is correct, we’ll have to take a closer look at this planet.
Venus is the second planet to the Sun. It’s similar in structure and size to Earth, and its dense atmosphere encapsulates heat in a runaway greenhouse effect.
The permanent layer of clouds is what keeps the heat, resulting in surface temperatures of 900 degrees Fahrenheit (480 Celsius,) hot enough to melt lead, making it the hottest planet in the Solar System.
The Venusian surface is comprised mostly of volcanos and mountains, with the tallest mount range rising up to 7 miles (11 kilometers,) above the planet’s elevation. It has a retrograde rotation, spinning backwards when compared to the other planets, meaning that the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
Oddly enough, because of its slow spin, a day-night cycle on Venus equals to 117 days spent on the Earth, making a day on Venus last longer than an entire year.
It takes 225 Earth days to complete a full orbit around the Sun, and 234 Earth days until a full day cycle is complete.
At this point, it may sound as if there’s no chance for Venus to host alien life, but there’s more to it than it meets the eye.
The Venus Express sent by the European Space Agency studied Venus from 2006 until the end of 2014 when it ran out of fuel.
At that point, the probe descended towards the North Pole of the planet where it encountered an average temperature of -157 degrees Celsius (-250 Fahrenheit,) that’s colder than anywhere on Earth.
These recent observations reveal the planet’s atmosphere is much more intriguing than first anticipated.
About 80% of the Venusian surface is covered by smooth, volcanic plains, but the absence of evidence of lava flow accompanying any of the visible caldera remains an enigma.
Other studies have suggested that billions of years ago Venus’s atmosphere was much more like Earth’s, and there were substantial amounts of liquid water on the surface.
While there’s no doubt that conditions on the surface are too hostile for life, there is speculation on the possibility of lifeforms existing somewhere in the upper cloud layers of Venus, 31 miles (51 kilometers) up from the surface, where the temperature ranges between 30 and 80 degrees Celsius.
So, could the assumptions of Mundodesconocito be viable after all? Are there indeed artificial structures on the surface of Venus, the closest planet to Earth?
Considering the novel findings of ESA’s Express probe, where freezing temperatures exist on a hellish planet such as Venus, there could be other surprisingly aspects waiting to be discovered.
The planet has plenty of odd elements that exceed our understanding for the time being, meaning that there’s still plenty to learn about the rocky, cloud-encapsulated world of Venus.
There’s a slim chance for those structures to have an artificial nature, and NASA wouldn’t probably reveal an entire alien city so close to the Earth if it were really there.
However, there’s plenty of room left for speculation, so better filter the information and form your own opinions. The truth is somewhere out there.
The map of Venus used by researchers can be found here.
But what a sight and the plane did not even notice! Friends ufologists, who see this video, cuts through a cloud and the air passage of the line to be noted.
But how can they have such a quiet technology? Friends are really fascinated by this technology, as if all of a sudden we are in an airliner and decide to accelerate the quantum speed.
My question is fairly obvious, you can never hope to have these technologies? Clearly, if the spacecraft can afford to cut in this way a cloud, it probably means consists partly of the same material. In my previous videos and studies it seems that “they” have to do directly with the Earth’s climate.
It almost seems that they are able to manipulate it. I believe that the spacecraft that is evident in the video is a kind of standard spacecraft, for us as a standard air line. If you notice that it is characterized by all that we imagine when we think of “them.”
This is what I want to say that it is structurally perfect in its components. In the past we have seen how these phenomena, but never so relevant. When my “friends” have exposed me this video, I was shocked and at the same time fascinated.
If “they” have this technology so sophisticated, how can we detect with the naked eye? or even less with our rudimentary radar? Well time to time, sooner or later humans will be able to match these technologies, but when they do, “they” will be even more evolved. Friends we must seek the truths that we face every day, we must think of it as “their”, just so one day we can fully understand their vital essence.
For my part, my mission is this, to know the truth! I really have to close because there is a big storm is coming, outside, enjoy yours.
DNA Analysis Of The Paracas Skulls Proves That We Are Not Alone
DNA Analysis Of The Paracas Skulls Proves That We Are Not Alone
DNA Analysis of the famous Paracas Skulls from Peru has proven that they are not human.
The skulls were found by Peruvian archaeologist Julio Tello in the barren landscape of the desert peninsula of Paracas, on Peru’s southern coast.
Researchers believe that the skulls are significantly different from any known to man and could only be the result of interbreeding between alien species and humans.
There have always been suggestions that alien speciesinfluenced the ancient civilizations, such as those in south America or the Pharaohs of Egypt.
The Paracas skulls are considered to belong to a hybrid race of super-humans known as the Nephilim. The Bible refers to ‘Fallen Angels’ and the birth of the ‘Nephilim’ and their descendants who became immortal.
Tello discovered a massive and complex graveyard containing tombs, buried under the sand and rocks of the desert in 1928.
In these tombs Tello found some of the most controversial human(?) remains in history. The bodies had the largest elongated skulls in the world and have since been called the Paracas skulls. Tello found a total of more than 300 skulls and they have been dated at around 3,000 years old. A recent DNA analysis performed on some of these skulls has presented amazing results that could challenge the current perspective of the human evolutionary tree.
Several other cultures have practiced skull elongation or deformation but the techniques they used produced different results. Certain South American tribes used to bind infants’ skulls in order to change their shape. Binding the head between pieces of wood modified the appearance of skulls by applying constant pressure over a long period of time. This type of cranial deformation changed the shape but it did not alter the size, weight or cranial volume; these are all standard characteristics of a regular human skull.
The Paracas skulls are different however. Since their craniums are 25% larger and 60% heavier than regular human skulls, researchers strongly believe that they couldn’t have been modified through binding. They are also structurally different and only have one parietal plate as opposed to the two normally found in human skulls. These differences have deepened the decade-old mystery around the Paracas skulls and researchers haven’t been able to explain their origins.The director of the Paracas History Museum has sent samples from 5 skulls to undergo genetic testing. The samples consisted of hair, skin, teeth and fragments of skull bones. The genetic laboratory was not informed about the samples’ origins in order to avoid biased or influenced results. The results were fascinating.
The mitochondrial DNA (inherited from the mother) presented mutations unknown to any man, primate or any other animal. The mutations suggested we are dealing with a completely new human-like being, very distant from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals or Denisovans. The Paracas individuals were so biologically different from humans they wouldn’t have been able to interbreed. “I am not sure it will even fit into the known evolutionary tree”, one geneticist added.
The implications of this discovery are huge. Who were the mysterious Paracas people? Did they evolve here on Earth on a path so different from us that they ended up looking drastically different? If not, where did they come from? Are any of them left?
This breakthrough brings up more questions than it answers but counts as another piece of evidence suggesting that we are not alone.
L.A. Marzulli has long searched for physical evidence of the Nephilim, the giants of the Bible. A significant cover-up over the years moved these hybrid humans to the dustbins of history. But now evidence has been found in Peru and the U.S.A.!
Deux astronomes américains évoquent des extraterrestres intelligents et technologiques
Deux astronomes américains évoquent des extraterrestres intelligents et technologiques
Il y a quelques jours, deux astronomes américains, Adam Frank et Woodruff Sullivan, ont publié un article dans la revue Astrobiology dans lequel ils déclarent qu’il est plus que probable que des espèces intelligentes, productrices d’innovations technologiques aient existé avant nous dans l’univers.
AFP PHOTO / ESO/L. CALÇADA
En se basant sur les dernières découvertes d’exoplanètes (planètes situées en dehors de notre système solaire), ils ont réussi à calculer la probabilité d’existence de civilisations évoluées avant l’apparition de l’espèce humaine sur Terre. Adam Franck affirme : “La question de savoir si des civilisations avancées existent dans l’univers se heurte à trois incertitudes… Combien d’étoiles ont de planètes pouvant accueillir la vie ? Quelle est la fréquence de création et de transformation de la vie vers une espèce intelligente, productrice de technologies ? Et enfin combien de temps peut vivre une civilisation évoluée avant de disparaître ?” Grâce notamment au télescope de la Nasa Kepler, Adam et Sullivan ont réussi à répondre à la première question : “Nous savons désormais qu’environ une étoile sur cinq peut abriter des planètes dans des zones habitables où les températures ne sont ni trop élevées, ni trop basses pour accueillir la vie telle que nous la connaissons”. Mais pour les deux scientifiques, on ne peut pas répondre à l’interrogation : “Sommes-nous seuls dans l’univers ?” car nous ne disposons pas d’informations pour répondre à la question sur la durée de vie des civilisations. Ils ont donc ouvert le spectre et se sont demandés : “Sommes-nous les seuls à avoir vécu dans l’univers ?” Et leur réponse est claire : « Pour nous, d’autres espèces intelligentes, productrices de technologies ont existé avant nous ! » Néanmoins, les deux chercheurs semblent pessimistes à l’idée d’une rencontre avec une vie extraterrestre aujourd’hui : « L’univers est vieux de 13,7 milliards d’années » déclare Sullivan. « Vu les distances entre les étoiles et la vitesse limitée de la lumière (environ 300 000 km par seconde), il paraît improbable d’avoir une discussion avec une civilisation extra-terrestre. Si une civilisation avancée se situe à 50 000 années-lumière, il en faudrait le double pour qu’on puisse leur répondre ». Ils ajoutent : « Nous pouvons désormais répondre à la question : ‘Est-ce qu’au moins une espèce avancée a existé avant nous dans l’univers ?’ par un : “Oui, très probablement ! Et cela, c’est incroyable ! »
A Monster Black Hole is Forming From 3 Colliding Galaxies

IN BRIEF
Astrophysicists have discovered a supermassive black hole with a mass 3.8 billion times than that of the Sun that is 1.8 billion light-years away from Earth.
THREE MAKES A BLACK HOLE
About 1.8 billion light-years away in a galaxy called IRAS 20100-4156, astrophysicists have recently discovered that a monster black hole is forming from the collision of three other spiral galaxies.
The black hole, which has been classified as supermassive, is 3.8 billion solar masses.
As a comparison, astrophysicists assert that the black hole at the center of our own galaxy has a mass that is only 4 million times that of the Sun, so a black hole that we measure in billions is a beast of truly epic proportions.

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY
Its discovery was, interestingly, accidental. Scientists from CSIRO were just testing their new telescope, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), when unusual readings from the aforementioned galaxy came into the picture.
Astrophysicist Lisa Harvey-Smith, who was using the telescope, was making a simple routine measurement of wave emissions from IRAS 20100-4156, and she saw that gasses within the emissions were traveling at unusually fast speeds.
The speeds, which were at about 600 km/s (372.823 mi/s), were unexpected from the galaxy, indicating that there’s a supermassive black hole forming at the center.
Harvey-Smith says, “This very fast motion of the gas tells us about how massive the black hole is. The really exciting thing about this is it is a direct measurement of the mass of the black hole by stuff that’s swirling around it.” She adds that discovery of these phenomena that occur in the universe may help in understanding how galaxies form.
It is known that whenever galaxies collide and form a supermassive black hole, stars form at an extremely high rate. This process is called a starburst.
Harvey-Smith’s team has submitted their findings for publication in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The quest to identify what dark matter is remains mostly fruitless. But through the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), scientists were able to cross off one more contender from the list: Axion-like particles (ALPs).
ENDLESS ELIMINATION ROUND
At the present time, some 85% of the composition of the universe remains unknown to us. The only thing that we really know about this portion of the universe is that it doesn’t interact with light (aka the electromagnetic spectrum) like normal matter.
You may have heard of this ‘missing matter’ and its perplexing partner in crime before. They are know by the enigmatic terms we use to refer to them: Dark matter and dark energy.
And now, after more than a hundred physicists have smashed their heads together in an attempt to find a glimmer of what they might be, well, we still don’t know what they are. But at least there’s a development: One of the most eligible suspects related to what dark matter is has been eliminated.
That’s one contender crossed off the undefined list.
ALPS ADDED TO “NOT-DARK-MATTER” LIST
Credit: NASA
The candidate eliminated this time is the axion-like particle (ALP), or at least the idea that it makes up 5% of dark matter. Axions are hypothetical particles that are 500 million times lighter than an electron and have no spin.
According to Princeton, “axions are potentially detectable through their weak coupling to electromagnetism.” Aaron Chou, a scientist at the New York University, who, along with a team of scientists, published a research on axion-like particles, says, “we can only detect these kinds of particles with telescopes, looking out into space. And then it is only an indirect detection.”
A team of 102 scientists, collectively known as The Fermi-LAT Collaboration, simulated galaxies with and without ALPs with the assumption that, at some point, these ALPs would run into some regular matter in space and send gamma rays out with a specific energy—an angle scientists have not looked into before.
They then compared these simulations to six years of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), which can detect gamma rays, and found that the models with ALPs did not seem to predict the observed gamma rays any better than if they weren’t there.
And the nerve-wracking and seemingly endless elimination contest that is the quest to expose dark matter continues.
A team at the University of Melbourne in Australia has successfully 3D printed a superconducting aluminum cavity, broadening the range of 3D printing for use in applications in particle physics.
For several decades, the 3D printing of metals has been adding to a myriad of industries. One thing missing from the technology, however, is ensuring their electrical properties match specific necessities, such as those that require superconductivity.
Superconducting cavities are used to store microwaves for use in particle accelerators, function as ultra-sensitive motion detectors for measuring the speed of light, and they have a host of other important applications in physics.
Now, at the University of Melbourne in Australia, Professor Daniel Creedon and his team havesuccessfully designed and built a superconducting aluminum microwave cavity through a 3D printer for the first time, bringing metal 3D printing to a higher level.
This new development would help make substantial advancements in particle physics (as well as related fields).
The composition of 3D printed superconducting aluminum, which starts out as aluminum powder, is a little different from standard industrial aluminum, and come out with rough surfaces. But the process is quick and cheap, and the team has found ways to refine the cavities with no significant impact on the resulting cavities’ superconductivity.
The 3-D printing of metal parts promises to revolutionize a wide range of industries. Aircraft carriers, for example, might no longer need to carry spare parts for the myriad aircraft, engines, and weapons systems they carry. Instead, each part could be printed as needed.
The big worry of course is that the mechanical properties of 3-D printed parts might not match those of parts made in other ways, particularly when they are used as critical components, in high-performance jet engines for example.
To that end, materials scientists have spent much time and effort characterizing the mechanical properties of these parts. And consequently, they are now used as customized medical implants, jet engine bearings and for rapid prototyping in the car industry.
But while the mechanical properties of 3-D printed parts have been well studied, less attention has been paid to their electrical properties.
Today that changes thanks to the work of Daniel Creedon at the University of Melbourne in Australia and a few pals who have designed, printed, and successfully tested a superconducting microwave cavity for the first time. They say their work paves the way for a new generation of superconducting components that can be designed and made relatively quickly and cheaply.
Superconducting cavities are the workhorses in an increasing number of experiments to study the properties of the universe. Their purpose is to store microwaves, allowing them to resonate while losing as little energy as possible.
The microwaves interact with the electrons in the surface material of the cavities. So the resistance of this material is an important factor in the performance. Hence the interest in superconducting cavities where the resistance is essentially zero.
Resonating microwaves are useful things—they accelerate charged particles inside particle accelerators, they are ultra-sensitive motion detectors, they can produce highly stable frequencies, help measure the speed of light, and so on.
But the cavities that hold them are high precision devices that are time-consuming and expensive to make. 3-D printing offers significant advantages in speed and cost, provided the process of printing doesn’t interfere with the cavities’ superconducting properties. That’s something nobody had attempted to measure, until now.
To study the effect of 3-D printing on these superconducting properties, Creedon and co simply printed two of cavities using a process which selectively melts aluminum powder so that it solidifies into the required shape. In this way, a complex 3-D cavity can be built up layer by layer.
This process is quick and cheap but has several potential limitations. The first is that 3-D printing produces shapes with rough surfaces.
The second is that aluminum powder has a different composition to standard industrial aluminum designated Al-6061. In particular, the powder contains some 12 percent silicon by weight, whereas the usual stuff has only 0.8 percent. It also contains small amounts of iron (0.118 percent) and copper (0.003 percent) compared to 0.7 percent iron, 0.15 percent copper, and 1.2 percent magnesium in the industrial stuff.
The impact of these kinds of differences could be important or insignificant but until it is measured, nobody knows which. That’s what Creedon and co set out to do. And to their surprise, they found that neither of these factors has a significant impact on the resulting cavities’ superconductivity.
Creedon and co report that the cavities become superconducting at the expected temperature of 1.2 Kelvin and that the electrical properties were similar to those of industrial Al-6061. “The results are comparable to cavities machined from common Al-6061 alloy, and are unaffected by the surface roughness of the cavity walls due to the 3-D printing process,” they say.
However, they were able to improve the performance of one cavity by polishing its inside surface to reduce the roughness. They then heated it to 770K for four hours and allowed it to cool slowly to room temperature. This has the effect of driving out silicon from the material. “Annealing at 770K for four hours to drive off residual silicon impurities was found to improve the Q-factor by approximately a factor of two,” they say.
That’s interesting work that has further potential. One future avenue would be to use purer aluminum powder. Creedon and co say this should produce higher quality cavities. Another is to start creating cavities that are impossible to manufacture using conventional machining techniques.
A first step on an exciting route to a new era of 3-D-printed superconductors.
Archaeologists know who built the Moai statues and they weren't Martians.
Were the huge iconic statues on Easter Island created (or influenced) by extraterrestrials?
The idea that extraterrestrials visited ancient civilizations has been around for decades, a theory most prominently promoted by Erich von Daniken, author of the best-selling classic work of pseudoscience "Chariots of the Gods?: Unsolved Mysteries of the Past."
Von Daniken believes, for example, that ancient Egyptians had neither the intelligence nor the tools to create the pyramids at Giza — thus they must have been made by aliens. Similar claims have been made about the Mayan pyramids in Central America and the giant drawings in the Nazca desert of Peru.
A writer on Huliq.com suggested that a recent BBC television show called Wild Pacific repeats that claim, though it’s not clear whether the show actually made the UFO-related claims attributed to it or not.
Such ideas are hardly new; the piece also references a report from a quasi-official French UFO research organization named COMETA which asks, “Who built these giant stone statues and how did they get there on this remote Pacific Island?”
Yet such mystery-mongering questions are red herrings. Archaeologists know who built the moai statues: people who lived on the island, not Martians. The question of how the statues got “there on this remote Pacific Island” misleadingly suggests that the huge carvings were somehow brought vast distances across the ocean for some unknown, mysterious purpose to this remote island.
In fact, the stone (actually a substance called tuff, compressed and easily carved volcanic ash) was taken from an extinct volcano called Rano Raraku on the northeastern part of the island and transported using ropes and logs to various sites along the coast. There’s no mystery where the moai came from; in fact hundreds of them can be found still embedded and only partially carved out of the side of Rano Raraku volcano.
So if there’s no mystery who carved the huge, enigmatic stone heads, and there’s no mystery where the heads came from, then the only remaining mystery is why they were carved. Researchers believe that each head (and torso — many of the figures are buried deep in the ground and go below the waist) represented a deceased head of a family or clan. The inhabitants of Easter Island (believed to once number in the thousands) gradually diminished due to internal warfare, slavery and disease.
Thus there remains no real mystery to be answered, by wild speculation about extraterrestrials or anything else. Unfortunately the real, genuine history and cultural traditions of ancient civilizations are often overshadowed by sensational and fictional theories about aliens.

Mystery 'triangle UFO' seen on BOTH sides of US in seperate sightings just 24 hours apart
Mystery 'triangle UFO' seen on BOTH sides of US in seperate sightings just 24 hours apart
A BIZARRE "triangle-shaped UFO" was reported being seen in the skies above the east and west USA - with sightings just one day apart, www.express.co.uk can exclusively reveal.
A CGI impression of one of the huge triangle UFOs after an earlier sighting
Paranormal investigators are looking at the two independent reports which were made to them the same day.
In the first sighting, at 8.30pm local time on Saturday an unnamed witness told the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) he and his wife were left speechless after the "once in a lifetime experience" of seeing an enormous triangle-shaped flat object flying silently towards Los Angeles in California.
The second sighting was at 9.15pm in Geneva, Ohio, about 2,300 miles away on the eastern side of the continent.
Both witnesses said they were unable to successfully film or photograph the events, but each provided sketches of what they saw.
Remarkably, both were large triangles with seven lights along two of the edges.
In a report to MUFON about the Californian sighting, above Inglewood about five miles outside the city, the man said the family were chatting, when it drifted into view.
He wrote: "Exactly at 8.30 pm over our heads, suddenly appeared a triangular-shaped object, with very dim lights, of almost yellowish tone.
MUFON

The witness in Geneva also independently sent in a computer sketch of the object with the same shape
"The object was gliding on a straight line going west. It was apparently close or too big and there was no kind of noise produced by the flying object that was flying at approximately at 50 miles per hour.
"To my wife and I there was no doubt what we were witnessing was a non man-made airplane or drone.
"It looked nothing like a drone, airplane or helicopter, was flat and produced no noise almost like the object was trying to sneak through the sky."
The pair tried excitedly to video and photograph it, but said due to local bright lighting, it would not show on the images.
He added: "I was in shock. The flying source simply disappeared before our eyes continuing his way to the west exactly in the direction of LA, leaving us speechless and with the certainty that what we both witnessed was a once in a life time experience."
Just over 24 hours later, another unnamed witness told of seeing a similar craft coming from this time west to the east.

Yet another MUFOn case CGI, leading some to believe these UFOs are really out there
The flying source simply disappeared before our eyes continuing his way to the west exactly in the direction of LA, leaving us speechless and with the certainty that what we both witnessed was a once in a life time experience.
Los Angeles witness
In a report to MUFON, they said: "I noticed the lights directly overhead travelling from west to east.
"There were approximately seven lights. Three in triangular shape in the centre, then two lights on each side of the three centre.
"The two lights on the sides extended out very far, a very large craft."
This person noticed a faint noise being made.
He said: "I had no way to record this event and just stood there carefully examining the lights due to the fact I've never seen anything like it.
"It flew slowly over trees and I lost sight of it. It did not sound like a jet, but a steady rumble or hum for the duration."
MUFON investigators, who are part of the world's largest database of UFO sightings based in the states, will be examining both cases to see if they could be connected.
MUFON
A MUFON recreation of another similar UFO sighting reported to it in 2010
They will also likely look back at similar previous reports which have been made to MUFON before.
On November 14 2010, a witness reported seeing a "mind-blowing" triangle-shaped UFO the "size of a football field" move silently overhead in California at 1.45 am, that time with 12 red-amber lights outlining it.
In February that year in Punta Gorda, Florida, a graphic designer saw a triangle-shaped UFO move over buildings and then hover.
The witness said the object had a total of seven white lights.
There have been other reports in Plainfield, Illinois, and Sedona, Arizona.
In most cases the objects are described as huge and either silent or humming.
In 2012, the Huffington Post published a report saying the triangles were one of the most common UFO sightings across the globe.
Some conspiracy theorists claim they are secret aircrafts developed by the US government, and sceptics say they are just misidentified regular aircrafts.

‘UFO’ SPOTTED ON LIVE CAM OVER ELK REFUGE NEAR YELLOWSTONE: ALIENS MONITORING SUPERVOLCANO COULD MEAN ERUPTION IS IMMINENT, CONSPIRACY THEORISTS RAISE ALARM [VIDEO]
‘UFO’ SPOTTED ON LIVE CAM OVER ELK REFUGE NEAR YELLOWSTONE: ALIENS MONITORING SUPERVOLCANO COULD MEAN ERUPTION IS IMMINENT, CONSPIRACY THEORISTS RAISE ALARM [VIDEO]
Following reported sighting of a “UFO” hovering over the Elk Refuge near Yellowstone, UFO bloggers have raised alarm, saying that an uptick in UFO activity near the Yellowstone Supervolcano at the National Park in Wyoming could mean that aliens are preparing for a major eruption of the volcano.
The alleged UFO appeared for a few minutes in footage uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, April 28, by Kat Martin2016. It appeared as light passing in front of a live cam at the Elk Refuge.
According to Kat Martin2016, she was looking at live cams in the area when she noticed the mysterious light passing over the Elk Refuge in the middle of night. The YouTuber speculated that the light might have been a reflection from the headlights of a vehicle nearby.
“I was browsing some live cams and stopped in at the Elk refuge, and this happened in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night, at an Elk refuge near Yellowstone,” Kat Martin2016 writes. “It is probably a passing vehicle that caused the reflection.”
The YouTube user then dropped a hint about aliens knowing that members of the UFO community would take the message and run with it.
“I am sure some will think it is the handiwork of aliens and that the reflection is a tiny spaceship,” she writes in the video description.
And as expected, UFO Sightings Daily’s Scott Waring declared as soon as he saw the footage that the light was an alien UFO drone conducting surveillance flight over Yellowstone to monitor the volcano’s activity.
“OMG! I knew it! It took less than one day for this to be taken and posted on a UFO site…”
According to Waring, UFOs are commonplace on wildlife live cams so the latest sighting at Yellowstone National Park was not unusual. In Waring’s expert opinion, Kat Martin2016 was mistaken in her assumption that the mysterious object was just a light reflection.
“The shadows on the side of this object make me think it is a three dimensional object and not a reflection,” Waring argues. “Alien drones often record data […] in nature. This catch may be one of those drones.”
Other UFO bloggers were more concerned about the implications of the suggestion that aliens are monitoring the Yellowstone Supervolcano. That aliens are monitoring the volcano should cause humans concern because it could indicate that aliens are worried the supervolcano could erupt, conspiracy theorists reasoned.
Referring to recent footage that shows an apparent uptick in activity at the volcano (see YouTube above) with ominous bright flashes and steam issuing from a geyser, UFO Sightings Hotspot raises alarm that “something weird is going on” at Yellowstone.
“Something weird is really going on there as a big flash (at 4.05 mark first video – left of the screen) comes out of one of the geysers,” the blog warns.
The UFO blogger then speculates fancifully that the uptick in UFO activity over Yellowstone could be due to alien UFOs tapping “energy from the magma moving up underneath the ground.”
The writer suggests that alien technology could be able to harvest and store energy obtained directly from hot magma.
“It’s the same concept as what we see as lightning at the top of a volcano that’s erupting, UFOs are quite often spotted around active volcanoes for that reason,” the blogger explains further.
Conspiracy theorists consider active volcanoes to be UFO hotspots [Image via Shutterstock]However, other UFO hunters, including Waring, speculate that the alien UFOs seen flying over the volcano could belong to alien species that have an alien UFO base built beneath the supervolcano. The aliens were flying a drone over the volcano to monitor its activity for predictive purposes, according to alien hunters.
Volcanoes, especially active ones, are considered UFO hotspots and UFO conspiracy theorists believe aliens often build UFO bases beneath volcanoes because the interior of volcanoes are inaccessible to humans.
For instance, UFO hunters claim that major volcanoes, such as Popocatepetl and Colima in Mexico, have large underground UFO bases. It is also believed there is a major government-alien UFO base beneath the Old Faithful geyser at Yellowstone.
TheInquisitrreported recently that a conspiracy theory has emerged online about an impending Yellowstone false flag event. According to rumors making the rounds in the conspiracy theory blogosphere, there is a sinister plan to induce an eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. The rumor, which apparently originated on the conspiracy theory-leaning website, The Common Sense Show, claims that a group was conducting “fracking style” activity near the supervolanco ostensibly with the aim of inducing an eruption. Another group was reportedly conducting experiments using “electromagnetic interference” to induce an eruption.
Footage captured on April 18 by a videographer named Shawn that appeared to show a UFO crashing at a spot near the supervolcano sparked speculation that the crash was linked to the alleged plan to stage a Yellowstone false flag operation (see YouTube videos below).
The ongoing conspiracy theory hysteria over the Yellowstone Supervolcano started online after geologists, such as Roger Bilham at the University of Colorado, warned that recent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions along the infamous Ring of Fire indicate that the world is going through a spike in seismic activity that raises concern about the risk of potentially catastrophic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the U.S. West Coast.
Footage uploaded online by Kart Martin2016 on April 15 showing a Yellowstone geyser bubbling with renewed life appeared to confirm fears.

‘UFO CRASH’ AT YELLOWSTONE SPARKS RUMORS OF IMMINENT FALSE FLAG EVENT – SECRET PLANS UNDERWAY TO INDUCE ERUPTION OF SUPERVOLCANO, CONSPIRACY THEORISTS SAY [VIDEO]
‘UFO CRASH’ AT YELLOWSTONE SPARKS RUMORS OF IMMINENT FALSE FLAG EVENT – SECRET PLANS UNDERWAY TO INDUCE ERUPTION OF SUPERVOLCANO, CONSPIRACY THEORISTS SAY [VIDEO]
Fear-mongering rumors of an impending Yellowstone false flag event, an alleged plan by a sinister group linked to government, to induce artificially an eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano that could lead to an extinction level event (ELE) are gaining traction in the doomsday blogosphere and spreading fear and panic among the susceptible readers.
The rumors follow reports of increased activity that have sparked fears that the Yellowstone volcano could erupt.
And even as rumors of an alleged impending Yellowstone false flag event spread, UFO hunters are scrutinizing closely new YouTube footage allegedly showing a UFO crashing at a spot in the Yellowstone National Park near the Yellowstone Supervolcano (see YouTube below).
The video purportedly showing a massive UFO crashing near the supervolcano has sparked rumors of sinister experiments at Yellowstone linked to an alleged plan to stage a false flag operation that involves inducing artificially a massive eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano.
The footage (see above) captured by an amateur videographer, called Shawn, shows a large object burning up in the sky and then crashing at a spot in the Yellowstone National Park reportedly close to the supervolcano on the morning of April 18, 2016.
Some UFO conspiracy theorists, such as UFO Sightings Daily editor Scott Waring, believe the object is an alien UFO spacecraft that crashed to Earth, possibly while monitoring the volcano for signs of increased activity.
Commenting on the incident, Waring pointed out that it would be difficult to locate the crash site in the vast expanse of wilderness that constitutes the Yellowstone National Park. But he argued that the fact that the object crashed at such an isolated area suggests a deliberate choice by an alien pilot attempting to avoid contact with humans.
But other conspiracy theorists have linked the incident with rumors about a sinister, clandestine plan to stage a Yellowstone false flag attack by triggering a major eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano.
Fear-mongering rumors of a plan to stage a false flag attack by artificially triggering an eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano appear to have originated on the blog The Common Sense Show.
On April 19, 2016, the blog published a letter it allegedly received from an “anonymous source” that identified as a “geologist and geophysicist.”
The anonymous letter writer alleged that a clandestine group, apparently linked to government, was planning to artificially induce an eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano by conducting “fracking-style” activity near the supervolcano.
“We discovered fracking that was going on at the site of one of our investigations [at Yellowstone] in which the quakes in the area were increasing exponentially,” the letter read.
“It was our operating hypothesis that the fracking was able to redirect pressure point of any quake or subsequent magma eruption…,” the letter continued. “Based on the limited data set available, it looks like the ‘frackers’ were experimenting… in other words, somebody was trying to assess if they could cause a series of eruptions at Yellowstone.”
“In other words, somebody was trying to assess if they could cause a series of eruptions at Yellowstone…”
The anonymous source went on to say he obtained information from another colleague working independently at Yellowstone that the group was also investigating other methods — including “electromagnetic interference” — that could be used to induce an eruption of the supervolcano.
The anonymous letter writer then alleged that scientific evidence shows that the recent earthquake in Ecuador was not caused naturally but was induced artificially. According to the anonymous writer, Ecuador was used to test a technology that could soon be applied to trigger a catastrophic eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano.
“The quakes in Ecuador are not natural and do not follow expected patterns,” the letter said. “Ecuador could be a test for what is coming to Yellowstone. If this technology was directed to the highly volatile Yellowstone region… I can tell you without hesitation that one-third of the country would be completely uninhabitable for years. Tens of millions of people would die.”
“The quakes in Ecuador are not natural… Ecuador could be a test for what is coming to Yellowstone.”
According to the purveyors of the Yellowstone false flag conspiracy theory, the clip allegedly showing a UFO crashing at Yellowstone actually shows the test run of a technology to induce an eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. But some supporters of the theory that the footage shows a UFO crashing have argued that the UFO crash theory is not necessarily inconsistent with the Yellowstone false flag theory, and that both probably complement each other.
It is believed widely in the UFO community that there is a major top-secret government-alien UFO base beneath the Old Faithful geyser. The government-linked group planning the false flag operation, according to UFO conspiracy theorists, could be working with an alien race to achieve it goals.
Volcanoes are recognized widely as UFO hotspots. According to UFOlogists, frequent sightings of UFOs near the world’s major volcanoes, such as Popocatepetl and Colima in Mexico, show that extraterrestrials take an interest in Earth’s volcanoes. It is claimed that alien scientists observe Earth’s volcano to understand the planet’s geology while other UFO experts point to alleged evidence that aliens often choose to locate their UFO bases beneath volcanoes because humans are unable to access them.
Alien and UFO hunters who believe there is an underground alien base beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano cite recent multiple reports of strange lights over the Yellowstone park as evidence of UFOs landing and taking off from the alleged underground alien base.
TheInquisitr also reported last month that grainy webcam footage captured by the upper geyser basin night time live streaming camera at the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and uploaded to YouTube on March 1, 2016, by Kat Martin2016 (see above) went viral in the online UFO community after UFO hunters began touting it as proof of alien UFO activity linked to the Yellowstone Supervolcano.

Zijn we alleen in het universum en zullen we ooit contact hebben?
Zijn we alleen in het universum en zullen we ooit contact hebben?
Reporters
Pieterjan Huyghebaert
Wetenschappers hebben een nieuwe formule ontwikkeld die de kans op intelligent leven ergens anders in het universum berekent en wat de voorwaarden zijn vooraleer we met één andere beschaving contact kunnen hebben.
Een studie die is verschenen in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Astrobiology heeft berekend aan welke voorwaarden onze Melkweg moet voldoen vooraleer we contact kunnen hebben met minstens één andere beschaving. De wetenschappers hebben feitelijk een afleiding gemaakt van de zogenoemde vergelijking van Drake waarmee wordt bekeken hoeveel technologische beschavingen er op dit moment in de Melkweg bestaan.
Vergelijking van Drake
gemiddeld aantal sterren dat per jaar in ons melkwegstelsel wordt gevormd
X
fractie van die sterren met planeten
X
gemiddelde aantal planeten waarop leven mogelijk is
X
fractie van die planeten, waar zich leven ontwikkelt
X

X
fractie van die planeten, waar zich een technologie ontwikkelt
X
gemiddelde levensduur van communicerende beschavingen in jaren.
=
Het geschatte aantal intelligente beschavingen in onze Melkweg
Nieuwe formule
De wetenschappers hebben deze vergelijking gebruikt als startpunt en ingrijpend veranderd. Het grote probleem met de 7 parameters die gebruikt worden bij de vergelijking van Drake is dat de meeste erg onzeker zijn, waardoor de foutenmarge erg groot is. De nieuwe formule heeft de formule vereenvoudigd tot slechts twee parameters:
het aantal bewoonbare planeten (naar schatting 4.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 planeten)
X
de kans op het ontstaan van technologisch geavanceerde soorten op een van die planeten
=
Het aantal technologisch voldoende geavanceerde levensvormen die ontstaan zijn sinds het begin van het waarneembare heelal. (minstens 1)
De onderlimiet voor de biotechnische waarschijnlijkheid dat een bewoonbare planeet een technologisch geavanceerde vorm van leven heeft voortgebracht in het waarneembare universum is 1 kans op 10.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 (1 kans op 10 miljard biljoen). In onze Melkweg is die kans 1 op 100 miljard. Die kans lijkt vrij klein, maar we weten dat in onze Melkweg (en uiteraard ook in het waarneembare universum) sinds het ontstaan van het heelal er minstens één planeet is waarop technologisch geavanceerd leven is ontstaan, namelijk de Aarde.
De wetenschappers hebben hun bevindingen gekoppeld aan de vergelijking van Drake en ermee getracht te benaderen hoeveel andere technologische beschavingen zich ooit in onze Melkweg moeten hebben ontwikkeld, zodat we met minstens één beschaving contact kunnen hebben. Het antwoord is 2 miljoen. Met andere woorden: vooraleer we de kans hebben om met één andere beschaving contact hebben, moeten er sinds het begin van de Melkweg minstens 2 miljoen geavanceerde beschavingen hebben bestaan.
Zijn we alleen in de kosmos? Wellicht niet, maar contact met een andere beschaving lijkt niet vanzelfsprekend. Het ziet er dus niet naar uit dat we binnenkort bezoek mogen verwachten van groene mannetjes.
Over the past months, Yellowstone’s imminent massive eruption has been lingering all over the news, drawing fear among residents around the volcano’s danger zone.
Just recently, a group of alien hunters claimed they spotted a UFO or an unidentified flying object hovering over the majestic volcano in a video uploaded on YouTube, theMirror reported.
A YouTube user named Kat Martin2016 claimed in the video that the clip only proves that aliens are continuously monitoring the volcano. In the video, a whitish circular object was seen flying over the volcano. The video was reportedly taken from an elk reserve area in Wyoming, where a large area of the 3,500 square mile Yellowstone National Park, is situated.
The murky image was seen hovering over the area of the volcano. In a disclaimer, the video owner admitted that she only posted the video to see whether alien hunters would validate that the video is proof of aliens’ existence.
Alien hunters claim that the presence of UFOs could indicate that the supervolcano would soon erupt. As previously reported by Morning News USA, a team of researchers from University of Leicester claims on a study that the last major eruption of Yellowstone happened some 70,000 years ago.
The researchers claimed that these massive super explosions were responsible for the current geography of the volcano, which extends to thousands of square miles. Although it has already been proven that there were several massive eruptions recorded in Yellowstone’s history, especially during its “adolescence” stage, scientists believe that the volcano is now losing strength.
If the Yellowstone would erupt in the present days, experts estimated that the volcano could spew ashes all the way to New York, the Seeker reported. But studies on the volcano indicate that a major eruption is highly unlikely, at least in the near future.
If there’s anything Floridians love, it’s cigars, aliens and bath salts. One fortunate resident was able to get two-thirds of those the other day on film. One video shows a cigar-shaped UFO flying over the skies of Saint Petersburg. Scientists were not available to comment as they had their hands full with a weird new comet. Plus, no one believes a Florida man anyway.
DID UFO CIGAR ESCAPE FROM CUBA?
A Florida man in Saint Petersburg caught some interesting footage the other day. No, it was not some girls gone wild at spring break, but a strange UFO flying in the sky. Usually, one is used to seeing circular saucers or square like alien objects, but this one was unique. As shown in the video, the out of focus object is long and slender, much like one of the many cigars produced in Cuba. Not to say there is any relationship but it is a little strange. Cubans love cigars and Floridians love UFOs, it’s odd the two would appear in one. If only there were some scientists available to put this to rest. Oh, right. They are off observing events of substance.
ASTRONOMERS DETECT WEIRD COMET HEADING OUR WAY
A crack team of researchers from the University of Hawaii has made an interesting discovery the other day. A report from Reuters says a weird comet without a tail was discovered and it’s made of the same type of rock found here on Earth. Astronomers believe this discovery could help us shed light on our solar system humble beginning. The comet was likely formed in the same area as Earth before it began it’s solar orbit. There may even be more of these organic UFO’s out there.
DANCING WITH THE STARS
Depending on how many of these comets are found, scientists will be able to figure out if planets dance around the stars when they were young or if they grew up in a more stable environment. The comet they are calling “Manx”, after a cat without a tail, is not the average comet. It contains materials similar to those found in the asteroids stretching between Mars and Jupiter. It also has no long stream of vaporized ice associated with many comets. While scientists continue to work on the mysteries of our universe, Floridians can keep themselves busy with cigar UFO’s. Who knows what they will find next.
A team of astronomers led by Dr. Michaël Gillon from the University of Liège has discovered three Earth-sized exoplanets around a nearby ultracool dwarf star, dubbed TRAPPIST-1. Details of the discovery appear in thejournal Nature.
This artist’s impression shows an imagined view from the surface one of the three exoplanets orbiting the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 38.8 light-years from Earth. These alien worlds have sizes and temperatures similar to those of Venus and Earth. In this view one of the inner planets is seen in transit across the disc of TRAPPIST-1.
Image credit: M. Kornmesser / ESO.
TRAPPIST-1, also known as 2MASS J23062928-0502285, is an ultracool dwarf star in the constellation of Aquarius.
The star is 38.8 light-years distant, close enough to be considered part of Earth’s neighborhood.
It is much cooler and redder than our Sun, with an age constrained to be 500 million years old, and with a luminosity, mass, and radius of 0.05%, 8% and 11.5% those of the Sun, respectively.
The planetary system TRAPPIST-1 hosts at least three planets, which are designated TRAPPIST-1b, c, and d.
The planets have been detected by the TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope), a Belgian robotic 0.6-m telescope based at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile.
This artist’s impression shows an imagined view from close to one of the three planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1.
Image credit: M. Kornmesser / ESO.
According to Dr. Gillon and his colleagues from the United States, Belgium, the UK and India, ultracool dwarf stars, such as TRAPPIST-1, are both very common in the Milky Way Galaxy and very long-lived, but this is the first time that planets have been found around one of them.
“This really is a paradigm shift with regards to the planet population and the path towards finding life in the Universe,” said co-author Dr. Emmanuël Jehin, an astronomer with the University of Liège.
“So far, the existence of such ‘red worlds’ orbiting ultra-cool dwarf stars was purely theoretical, but now we have not just one lonely planet around such a faint red star but a complete system of three planets.”
Follow-up observations with larger ground-based telescopes, including the HAWK-I instrument on ESO’s 8-m Very Large Telescope in Chile, have shown that the planets around TRAPPIST-1 have sizes very similar to that of Earth.
TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c have orbital periods of 1.51 days and 2.42 days, respectively, and the third planet, TRAPPIST-1d, has a less well determined period in the range 4.5 to 72.8-days.
“With such short orbital periods, the planets are between 20 and 100 times closer to their star than the Earth to the Sun,” Dr. Gillon explained.
“The structure of this planetary system is much more similar in scale to the system of Jupiter’s moons than to that of the Solar System.”
Although they orbit very close to their host dwarf star, TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c only receive four times and twice, respectively, the amount of radiation received by the Earth, because their star is much fainter than the Sun.
That puts them closer to the star than the habitable zone for this system, although it is still possible that they possess habitable regions on their surfaces.
TRAPPIST-1d’s orbit is not yet well known, but it probably receives less radiation than the Earth does, but maybe still enough to lie within the habitable zone.
The masses of these planets are still unknown, making their internal composition as yet undetermined.
“We intend to measure their masses during the coming months, to determine if these planets are mainly rocky, like the Earth, or if they are water-rich, like icy moons of the giant planets,” Dr. Gillon said.
Een internationaal team van astronomen onder leiding van wetenschappers van de Luikse Universiteit (ULg) heeft op slechts veertig lichtjaar van ons in het sterrenbeeld Waterman drie levensvatbare exoplaneten gevonden. Dat hebben de ULg en de Europese Zuidelijke Sterrenwacht ESO, parallel met een publicatie in het vakblad Nature, meegedeeld. Het zijn tot nu toe de beste plaatsen om (met de huidige technologie) te zoeken naar leven buiten ons zonnestelsel.
De astronomen vonden het planetair systeem met de TRAPPIST-robottelesoop van het ESO-observatorium in het Chileense La Silla, waarna andere telescopen de ontdekking bevestigden. De drie planeten draaien rond een ster die veel kleiner, kouder en roder is dan onze Zon. Het hemellichaam, 2MASS J2062928-0502285 alias nu ook TRAPPIST-1, is nauwelijks iets groter dan "onze" Jupiter. Dergelijke ultra-koude dwergsterren komen in onze Melkweg zeer frequent voor, meer dan sterren die op onze Zon gelijken. Tot nu toe waren er rond dergelijke dwergsterren geen planeten gevonden (omdat de onderzoeksprogramma's zich richtten op grotere, zwaardere en warmere sterren, zegt de Luikse Universiteit).
De drie gevonden exoplaneten lijken qua grootte en temperatuur op Venus en de Aarde. In theorie bestaat de mogelijkheid dat er vloeibaar water op hun oppervlak is.
De twee dichtst tot de - met het blote oog niet zichtbare - ster staande planeten hebben slechts 36 en 58 uur nodig voor een omloop. Van de derde is de afstand nog niet uitgemaakt, maar één baan zou ook slechts 4,5 tot 73 dagen duren, aldus de ESO.
Volgens de Luikse wetenschapper Julien de Wit kunnen er temperaturen heersen die, althans op minstens een deel van het oppervlak, leven mogelijk kunnen maken.
De massa van het drietal is nog onbekend, waardoor ook hun interne samenstelling onzeker is. Maar volgens teamleider Michaël Gillon "mag men zich aan van alles verwachten".
De ontdekking is des te meer van belang omdat de studie van de atmosfeer van deze planeten buiten ons zonnestelsel binnen het bereik is van de huidige generatie telescopen.

Trois exoplanètes "potentiellement habitables" ont été découvertes en orbite d'une petite étoile à 40 années-lumière de la Terre, rapporte une étude publiée dans la revue Nature, lundi 2 mai. Cette découverte des chercheurs de l'université de Liège en Belgique a été réalisée dans le cadre du programme européen prototype nommé Speculoos. Et cela, grâce au télescope robotique de l’université de Liège, Trappist, installé depuis 2010 à l’ Observatoire européen austral de La Silla, au Chili, relaie La Libre.
Pour rappel, il y aurait plusieurs centaines de milliards de planètes habitables, rien que dans notre galaxie, la Voie lactée. Et les exoplanètes sont tellement lointaines qu'il est quasi-impossible de les observer directement et qu'il est impensable de s'y rendre. En tout cas pour le moment. En attendant, Francetv info liste trois choses à savoir sur cette découverte.
Des planètes de taille similaire à la Terre
Ces planètes, qui transitent autour d'une étoile naine ultra-froide, offrent pour la première fois la possibilité "de trouver des traces chimiques de vie en dehors de notre système solaire", selon les chercheurs. La découverte est importante : il s'agit de "planètes de taille similaire à la Terre, potentiellement habitables et propices aux études atmosphériques détaillées avec la technologie actuelle", a déclaré à l'AFP Michaël Gillon , coauteur de l'étude.
Une possible existence d'eau liquide
Selon les chercheurs, deux des trois planètes orbitent près de l'étoile, tandis que la troisième se situe probablement dans la zone habitable de TRAPPIST-1. Cette zone, où il ne fait ni trop chaud ni trop froid pour maintenir l'eau sous une forme liquide, peut permettre le développement d'une forme de vie telle que nous la connaissons sur Terre.
Cette planète peut "potentiellement abriter de la vie sur toute sa surface",explique le chercheur. Les deux autres planètes, plus proches de l'étoile,"sont trop chaudes pour cela mais pourraient avoir des zones d'habitabilité, avec des températures suffisamment basses pour permettre l'existence d'eau liquide et peut-être de vie".
Des caractéristiques atmosphériques bientôt attendues
La température, la taille et la composition de ces nouvelles planètes les rapprochent fortement de la Terre. Mais il faudra attendre de définir avec exactitude leur masse, leurs caractéristiques atmosphériques (si elles ont une atmosphère) pour savoir si elles sont réellement propices à la vie.
Des informations que les chercheurs pourraient obtenir "relativement rapidement" grâce à la technologie actuelle, "d'ici 5 à 10 ans, notamment avec le télescope spatial James Webb qui sera lancé en 2018", selon Michaël Gillon.
This is quite possibly the largest collection of publicly accessible UFO documents in the world, drawing from as many sources and countries as possible. See below for a list of declassified UFO materials that haven't been tracked down yet. If you have copies of or know of any other files that should be included, please contact me.
This page includes the 10,000 Project Blue Book reports which were censoredby a copyright claim from Ancestry.com subsidiary Fold3 after they were posted on The Black Vault (which I highly recommend visiting for its wealth of material). As Mr. Greenewald explained, their claim is ludicrous. "Ancestry.com, and their subsidiary Fold3, has laid down a claim to copyright on the Project Blue Book material – which has long been labeled as “public domain” by the National Archives & Records Administration (NARA). Ancestry.com is claiming ownership to the digital version of this material – despite me having records that Fold3 doesn’t even have in their archive and I received under the FOIA starting back in 1996. They simply claimed it was 100% theirs and I was forced to remove it." (See below for the full statement)
Unfortunately, while Mr. Greenewald was completely in the right to post the public domain documents, the cost of litigating a lawsuit would have been enormous and for the sake of his family, he was forced to comply with the takedown request. I was unable to retrieve a copy of the cache from him, but after some digging I managed to find a copy. It and the other files have been uploaded to Archive.org and properly marked as being in the public domain. While the Project Blue Book reports have been uploaded individually, they have also been uploaded as a single dataset for easy retrieval and archiving. It's unlikely that Fold3 would try to threaten me with a lawsuit (though I invite them to try and be laughed out of court), or that the Internet Archive would cave and remove the public domain material, but in the event that this happens they will have to file takedown requests for thousands of items and deal with the certainty that people have retrieved and duplicated the complete set.

I am sitting up on a table, feeling gentle taps on my back, watching a series of images, myriad tables receding into infinity, like two mirrors facing each other.
Farmers milking cows; on each table, a person sits up and is examined by a small, slim, white, intent, fragile, large eyed creature.
Their fingers probe lightly, gently, purposely, like playing a piano.
They are milking Chakras or Kundalini nerve centers, seven along each person’s spine.
Their touches stimulate hidden DNA sequences as well as retrieve and store data and information along the length of the spinal chord, along a library of nerves.
Like ants milking aphids they spend careful time and effort, gently, delicately, fingering each spine in a long sequence of tables, like marionettes playing human harpsichords.
These manipulations of spinal nerves initiate secret, as yet unbidden DNA sequences, which dangerously age and disease and trouble the somatic body and mind of an abductee.
After an incident my finger and toe nails have to be trimmed twice every day; early sequences causes acceleration of aging and growth of certain cells.
There are horrible psychic and emotional results from activation of these spinal sequences too quickly, as well.
Inter dimensional leaking occurs and one senses other unworldly creatures and flirts with the beast of madness, itself.
Are we being programmed?
What is subtly being programmed, stored and retrieved In our spinal chords?
We are Manchurian candidates of stellar proportions.
Inter dimensional bleeding through into our dimension?
Pranks predominate.
Objects disappear to return days later in strange places, and there's always a powerful sense of being watched by large eyes.
On a Tuesday afternoon in late June, I entered the back of the house, passed by enormous four foot wide, four foot tall flower pots, each weighing as much as a man, containing ten foot tall Canna plants, tropical in nature and in full bloom.
I opened the back door and entered the vestibule into the kitchen; I could not take another step.
Glancing backwards, over my shoulder, I saw that both enormous pots had been turned over.
The wide elephant, ear-like leaves and tall orange-red flower tops now bloomed sideways, sprawled to the ground, in a fraction of a second.
I became suddenly aware of a very untoward realization.
I would likely need entity removal, aura cleaning and protection, for in addition to poltergeist nonsense, I was besieged with elements of telepathic attack: vivid nightly evil nightmares, and a sense of pervading anxiety.
And all of these nightmares began closely AFTER my sightings of overhead UFOs and suddenly awakening and recalling tiny snippets of nighttime abductions.
Presence of mind is our greatest weapon, the ridicule factor, is their best defense.
Who, in one's 'right mind' can one even discuss these things with?
Paper, is indeed, much more patient, than people.
Why did things get worse?
In despair and confusion, (the plants overturned, overwhelmed me with classic poltergeist shock sudden and profound).
I stopped and prayed aloud for a spiritual sign.
Asks for a sign from God
“God, if there is a spirit world and it is real, and I can ask for protection, send me a sign: God, send me a white bird, up close and personal, in my face, on my window, as a sign.”
I put my whole heart and soul and angst into this prayer and minutes later, busy else where, I forgot it, as it promptly receded into the recesses of my mind.
The next day, on route to work following the same path I always drive, I made a right turn, and high over the street of cars, saw a cloud of some one hundred gulls, hovering, wheeling, circling overhead, as if attracted by garbage or a dumpster, although none was in evidence.
As I glanced up at the raucous flock, one white gull swerved to within an inch of my windshield, glossed passed and made eye contact with me.
Preoccupied with driving and having totally forgotten my fervent spiritual request from the night before, I drove on, momentarily startled, but dully unaware of it’s significance.
After a strenuous day at work I returned home, lit a prayer candle and began to voice again my special request for a sign when I remembered the morning gull.
I HAD asked for a white bird on my window, up close and personal.
Had I been given that sign the very next morning?
I decided to be skeptical but not cynical.
What would be a critical test?
I decided that If I saw any gulls in the area anywhere while in transit on the way to work for the next two weeks, I would know that it was a coincidence or a quirk of fate, not a sign that I asked for.
In my minds-eye, I was haunted with an emblazoned afterimage, a close up of that bird's black beadlike eye as it skimmed my windshield.
Why was the black eye of that bird, which whizzed passed so fast, so fixed in my mind?
For two weeks, each day, I scanned the horizon and landscape for a sign of gulls hovering, as I believed a flock so large would certainly reappear somewhere.
I never saw one bird.
I decided that I had been given a wonderful sign and it gave me the courage and the confidence to feel protected, in this fight, against the unseen harassing -alien-entities.

Abductions and their remnant elusive memories have opened all this for Paul, a confirmed atheist, UNTIL Paul saw aliens float him out of his body, in his bed, at night.
Then, he knew that they were interested in an essence that he never suspected that he had, a nonphysical soul.
Our spiritual powers that interest and addict interdimensionals are the very powers that can be used to thwart further attacks.
They infect auras with attachments to themselves and ride the reincarnation roller coaster with human beings, as a sanctuary, to avoid the death that they fear and to steal the spiritual recycling that we have.
Souls are garnered, detoured from our natural spiritual evolution in Heaven.
These joyriding grays can be sinister, discorporate alien souls, stuck to our energies, who bring a new meaning to the concept of a silent invasion.
WHAT MADE THE PAINTED MYSTERIOUS SWIRLS ON THE MOON'S SURFACE?
WHAT MADE THE PAINTED MYSTERIOUS SWIRLS ON THE MOON'S SURFACE?
NASA scientists have come up with a new model to explain the mysterious swirls that appear to be painted on the Moon’s surface.
These “lunar swirls” can be tens of kilometres across and appear where ancient bits of magnetic field are embedded in the lunar crust – although not every time.
The other distinctive feature of them is that the bright areas of the swirls appear to be less weathered than their surroundings.
But beyond that scientists have been able to learn little about the features. “They are unique,” says John Keller of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Centre. “We’ve only seen these features on the Moon, and their origin has remained a mystery since their discovery.”
Until now there have been three main theories about how the swirls formed.
The first suggests that both the swirls and the magnetic fields both formed from plumes of material ejected by comet impacts.
The second, argues that fine dust particles thrown up by micrometeorite impacts could have been sorted by an existing magnetic field forming light and dark patterns with different compositions and magnetism.
The third theory says that, since electrons and ions in the solar wind are electrically charged, they respond to magnetic forces and that the magnetic field on the Moon could shield the surface from weathering by the solar wind.
The new research looked closely at the third of these theories, relying on new observations by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). But scientists found some problems when it came to modelling the theory.
“The problem with the magnetic shield idea is that the embedded magnetic fields on the Moon are very weak – about 300 times weaker than Earth’s magnetic field,” said Bill Farrell of NASA Goddard.
“It’s hard to see how they would have the strength to deflect the solar wind ions.”
But what the new models did show was that the magnetic field could create a strong electric field when the solar wind attempts to flow through.
And this powerful electric potential could deflect and slow particles in the solar wind, reducing weathering on the surface of the Moon, leaving brighter regions where it was protected.
The new models are published separately as a series of three papers, one in Icarus on March 1, 2016 by lead author Andrew Poppe of the University of California, Berkeley; one in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics on June 18, 2015 by lead author Shahab Fatemi of University of California, Berkeley; and one in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets on November 25, 2015 by lead author Michael Zimmerman of The Johns Hopkins University. But the research has not ruled out the other two theories. “Until you have somebody making measurements on the lunar surface we may not get a definitive answer, but the new observations that analyse the swirls in ultraviolet and far-ultraviolet light are consistent with earlier observations that indicate the swirls are less weathered than their surroundings,” said Keller.
The Part-Time Scientists Team rover.
A team of scientists and engineers in Berlin, working on sending a customised rover to the Moon, are planning to send a version of Wikipedia with the vehicle to make the online dictionary’s 15th anniversary.
It is one of five image-gathering rover projects competing to land on the Moon by 2017 for the Google Lunar XPRIZE challenge.
Wikimedia Deutschland has been offered space on a data disc to be carried by the Part-Time Scientists Team. But there is a catch.
With a capacity of just 20 gigabytes of space, all the Wikipedia communities have been called upon to agree on which content should be included by 24 June.
“Even if only a snapshot of Wikipedia can be brought to the Moon, its content will equal a genuine snapshot of the sum of all human knowledge,” the group says

De Canadese oud-minister van Defensie Paul Hellyer heeft tijdens een lezing op het MUFON International UFO Symposium gesproken over buitenaardse invloed op aarde.
Hij zei dat deze buitenaardse invloed al in Bijbelse tijden werd gevoeld, maar pas tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog begon door te dringen ‘toen we erachter kwamen dat een buitenaards ras de Duitsers had geholpen’.
Op hetzelfde moment adviseerde een andere groep aliens de geallieerden, aldus Hellyer. Jaren voor het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog begon de Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) al plannen uit te werken voor een Amerikaans rijk dat nog veel groter was dan het rijk dat Hitler voor ogen had.
De CFR, Bilderbergers, banken, oliebedrijven, grote corporaties, inlichtingendiensten en strijdmachten werden samengevoegd tot wat Hellyer ook wel de Cabal noemt, een organisatie die in Amerika en daarbuiten ‘ongekend veel macht heeft’.
Het uiteindelijke doel van deze organisatie is volgens de oud-minister een Nieuwe Wereldorde, een werelddictatuur, afgedwongen door de combinatie van financiële en militaire macht, inclusief ruimteschepen die zijn gebouwd met behulp van buitenaardse technologie.
There UFOs Fly In Military Formation Over Australia On May 1, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
There UFOs Fly In Military Formation Over Australia On May 1, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 1, 2016 Location of sighting: Hamersley, Australia Source: MUFON #76129 These glowing UFOs might be easy to dismiss at first, but they are flying in a tight triangle formation. Australia is famous for its UFO sightings and whats really intriguing about this one is the distance between the glowing UFOs is exactly the same. That alone is proof that intelligent beings are in control of it. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: I had just left my room and was walking to work when in front of me something moving in the sky caught my eye. I observed 3 lights the size of stars moving in a southerly direction in formation at about half the speed of what a plane would travel at cruising altitude. The 3 lights were approaching a single star so I double checked to see which lights were moving by identifying the positions of the near by stars and building structures that were in my view. I could confirm that the 3 lights were moving and the single star, nearby stars and building was stationary. I stopped walking and continued to observe the 3 lights for several seconds as they passed over the single star. The single star remained visible as the triangle of 3 lights passed over it. About 10 seconds later the 3 lights dimmed out until I could no longer see them in the sky any more. This further confirmed that the 3 lights were moving independently in the sky. The sky was black with nil cloud cover with bright stars. I continued to look upwards in the same direction every now and then as I walked to my car but I couldn't stop and continue to observe due to time restraints and didn't see it any longer. The photo attached I didn't take and is from a google search but is exactly what I saw.
Triangle UFO Seen In Two Separate Occasions On Both Sides of The U.S.
Triangle UFO Seen In Two Separate Occasions On Both Sides of The U.S.
A mysterious triangle-shaped UFO was allegedly observed above the east and west of the U.S. one day apart.
Two independent reports were made on the same day. The first reported sighting occurred at an 8:30 pm local time on Saturday, 23rd April 2016. The unnamed witness and his wife were left stunned after their strange encounter with a massive triangle-shaped object flying without a sound towards Los Angeles, California.
The second sighting took place in Geneva, Ohio, approximately 2,300 miles away on the continent’s eastern side, at 9:15 pm.
Both witnesses claimed they were not able to record or photograph the events successfully, but each one of them provided sketches of what they spotted.
Interestingly, both UFOs were large triangles with each having seven lights along the two sides.
The Californian witness said they were chatting when a mysterious flying object appeared at 8:30 pm over their heads with very dim lights, of nearly yellowish tone.
The reporting witness said that the aerial thing glided on a straight line towards west. It was estimated to be too close or too big flying at around 50 miles per hour, but without the noise that typically heard from a mundane object.
To the witness and his wife, there was no doubt they observed a strange event involving an extraterrestrial object.
The pair tried to record it on video or photograph it, but the local bright lighting would not show the images.
More than 24 hours later, another witness claimed to have seen the same aircraft coming from west toeast this time.
In a report to MUFON, the unnamed witness said he noticed approximately seven lights. He had no chance to record the mysterious event as he was more interested in examining the lights. The witness, this time, heard a steady rumble or hum from the object as it flew slowly over trees until he lost sight of it.

The moon holds a mystical place in the history of human culture, so it's no wonder that many myths — from werewolves to induced lunacy to epileptic seizures — have built up regarding its supposed effects on us.
"It must be a full moon," is a phrase heard whenever crazy things happen and is said by researchers to be muttered commonly by late-night cops, psychiatry staff and emergency room personnel.
In fact a host of studies over the years have aimed at teasing out any statistical connection between the moon — particularly the full moon — and human biology or behavior. The majority of sound studies find no connection, while some have proved inconclusive, and many that purported to reveal connections turned out to involve flawed methods or have never been reproduced.
Reliable studies comparing the lunar phases to births, heart attacks, deaths, suicides, violence, psychiatric hospital admissions and epileptic seizures, among other things, have over and over again found little or no connection.
One possible indirect link: Before modern lighting, the light of a full moon have kept people up at night, leading to sleep deprivation that could have caused other psychological issues, according to one hypothesis that awaits data support.
Below, I'll review several studies — the good, the bad and the in between — but first some basic physics:
The moon, tides and you
The human body is about 75 percent water, and so people often ask whether tides are at work inside us.
The moon and the sun combine to create tides in Earth's oceans (in fact the gravitational effect is so strong that our planet's crust is stretched daily by these same tidal effects).
But tides are large-scale events. They occur because of the difference in gravitational effect on one side of an object (like Earth) compared to the other. Here's how tides work:
The ocean on the side of Earth facing the moon gets pulled toward the moon more than does the center of the planet. This creates a high tide. On the other side of the Earth, another high tide occurs, because the center of Earth is being pulled toward the moon more than is the ocean on the far side. The result essentially pulls the planet away from the ocean (a negative force that effectively lifts the ocean away from the planet).
However, there's no measurable difference in the moon's gravitational effect to one side of your body vs. the other. Even in a large lake, tides are extremely minor. On the Great Lakes, for example, tides never exceed 2 inches, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which adds, "These minor variations are masked by the greater fluctuations in lake levels produced by wind and barometric pressure changes. Consequently, the Great Lakes are considered to be essentially non-tidal."
That's not to say tides don't exist at smaller scales.
The effect of gravity diminishes with distance, but never goes away. So in theory everything in the universe is tugging on everything else. But: "Researchers have calculated that a mother holding her baby exerts 12 million times the tide-raising force on the child than the moon does, simply by virtue of being closer," according to Straightdope.com, a Web site that applies logic and reason to myths and urban legends.
Consider also that tides in Earth's oceans happen twice every day as Earth spins on its axis every 24 hours, bringing the moon constantly up and down in the sky. If the moon's tugging affected the human body, one might presume we'd be off balance at least twice a day (and maybe we are).
Studies of full moon effects
Here are some of the reputable studies in peer-reviewed journals that have failed to find connections:
EPILEPSY: A study in the journal Epilepsy & Behavior in 2004 found no connection between epileptic seizures and the full moon, even though some patients believe their seizures to be trigged by the full moon. The researchers noted that epileptic seizures were once blamed on witchcraft and possession by demons, contributing to a longstanding human propensity to find mythical rather than medical explanations.
PSYCHIATRIC VISITS: A 2005 study by Mayo Clinic researchers, reported in the journal Psychiatric Services, looked at how many patients checked into a psychiatric emergency department between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. over several years. They found no statistical difference in the number of visits on the three nights surrounding full moons vs. other nights.
EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS: Researchers examined 150,999 records of emergency room visits to a suburban hospital. Their study, reported in American Journal of Emergency Medicine in 1996, found no difference at full moon vs. other nights.
SURGERY OUTCOMES: Do doctors and nurses mess up more during the full moon? Not according to a study in the October 2009 issue of the journal Anesthesiology. In fact, researchers found the risks are the same no matter what day of the week or time of the month you schedule your coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Not all studies dismiss lunar influence.
PET INJURIES: In studying 11,940 cases at the Colorado State University Veterinary Medical Center, researchers found the risk of emergency room visits to be 23 percent higher for cats and 28 percent higher for dogs on days surrounding full moons. It could be people tend to take pets out more during the full moon, raising the odds of an injury, or perhaps something else is at work — the study did not determine a cause.
MENSTRUATION: This is one of those topics on which you will find much speculation (some of it firm and convincing-sounding) and little evidence. The idea is that the moon is full every month and women menstruate monthly. Here's the thing: Women's menstrual cycles actually vary in length and timing — in some cases greatly — with the average being about every 28 days, while the lunar cycle is quite set at 29.5 days. Still, there is one study (of just 312 women), by Winnifred B. Cutler in 1980, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, that claims a connection. Cutler found 40 percent of participants had the onset of menstruation within two weeks of the full moon (which means 60 percent didn't). If anyone can tell me how this oft-cited study proves anything, I'm all ears. Also, one should be skeptical that in the intervening three-plus decades, nobody seems to have produced a study supporting Cutler's claim.
ANIMALS GONE WILD: A pair of conflicting studies in the British Medical Journal in 2001 leaves room for further research. In one of the studies, animal bites were found to have sent twice as many British people to the emergency room during full moons compared with other days. But in the other study, in Australia, dogs were found to bite people with similar frequency on any night. Some wild animals do behave differently during a full moon: For example, lions usually hunt at night, but after a full moon, they're more likely to hunt during the day — likely to make up for the tough going on a moonlit night.
SLEEP DEPRIVATION:
There's been a lot of research into this topic. In the Journal of Affective Disorders in 1999, researchers suggested that before modern lighting, "the moon was a significant source of nocturnal illumination that affected [the] sleep–wake cycle, tending to cause sleep deprivation around the time of full moon." They speculated that "this partial sleep deprivation would have been sufficient to induce mania/hypomania in susceptible bipolar patients and seizures in patients with seizure disorders." When I first wrote this story in 2009, I looked over these oft-cited suggestions, scoured the scientific literature, and could not find where any of them had been tested or verified with any numbers or rigorous study of any kind. Since then, there have been a few more studies on the topic.
A small study in 2013, of just 33 volunteer adults, found they slept less during the full moon even when they could not see the moon and were not aware of the current lunar phase. The researchers say the findings would need to be replicated before they could be considered reliable, however. Then in 2014, a broad review of sleep-moon research, done by scientists at Max-Plank Institute of Psychiatry, found no statistically significant correlation between the lunar cycle and sleep.
More recently, research published in March of 2016, of 5,800 children age 9 to 11 in 12 different countries, found they slept about 5 minutes less on nights with a full moon. That's "unlikely to be important" from a health perspective, the researchers said, but it is interesting. They speculate that the brightness of the full moon may be the reason, but with all the artificial light around these days, they doubt that suggestion.
Expect more small studies in the future to suggest a link, and don't be surprised if further broad scientific reviews find the possible connections to be shaky.
Myths persist
If one presumes that modern lighting and mini-blinds have pretty much eliminated the one plausible source of human-related moon madness, why do so many myths persist?
Several researchers point out one likely answer: When strange things happen at full moon, people notice the "coincidental" big bright orb in the sky and wonder. When strange things happen during the rest of the month, well, they're just considered strange, and people don't tie them to celestial events.
"If police and doctors are expecting that full moon nights will be more hectic, they may interpret an ordinary night's traumas and crises as more extreme than usual," explains our Bad Science Columnist Benjamin Radford. "Our expectations influence our perceptions, and we look for evidence that confirms our beliefs."
And that leads to this final note, which is perhaps the biggest logical nail in the coffin of the moon madness myths:
The highest tides occur not just at full moon but also at new moon, when the moon is between Earth and the sun (and we cannot see the moon) and our planet feels the combined gravitational effect of these two objects. Yet nobody ever claims any funny stuff related to the new moon (except for the fact that there is more beach pollution at full and new moon ...).

2D Spacecraft, Reprogrammable Microbes & More: NASA Eyes Wild Space Tech Ideas
By Kasandra Brabaw, Space.com Contributor |
NASA has picked 13 wild space technology ideas, including concepts for two-dimensional spacecraft and microbes that could turn Mars dirt into usable material, for Phase 1 funding under the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program.

Get ready for two-dimensional spacecraft and microorganisms that can recycle Mars dirt into working electronics. While both may sound like science fiction, they could soon be a reality, thanks to the latest round of space technology funding from NASA.
These are just two of the 13 exciting new concepts to win Phase 1 funding this year from the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts(NIAC) program, which aims to encourage and invest in groundbreaking research that could transform how NASA does space exploration.
Having won the first round of grants from NIAC means the researchers on all 13 projects get $100,000 and nine months to prove the feasibility of their concepts through definition and analysis. If they pass feasibility tests, the researchers can then apply for Phase 2 funding, which gives them up to an additional $500,000 and two more years to continue developing their concept.
While the two-dimensional spacecraft — which would be sent to space to wrap around space debris and pull it out of orbit — and reprogrammable microorganisms — which would use the Martian resources to recycle and print electronics — are certainly innovative, the other 13 projects are equally impressive and have great implications for the future of space explorations, should they pan out.
"All of the final candidates were outstanding, and limiting the choice to what fit in our budget was difficult," Jason Derleth, NIAC program executive, said in a statement. "We hope each new study will push boundaries and explore new approaches — that's what makes NIAC unique."

Date of sighting: April 29, 2016 Location of sighting: Saint Petersburg, Florida, USA News source: MUFON 76127 This is an excellent video brought to my attention by UFOvni2012 of Youtube. It shows a long cigar UFO floating slowly over the clouds. I digitally enhanced the colors to make it more clear in the photos above. The UFO has a indention at its center like a barbell. Whats really interesting is that its moving forward from one end, where a balloon would be moving sideways and slowly spinning. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: It was approximately 7:45 PM. Our house is located right on the water next to Tampa Bay.I walked outside to the back of my house to let our dog out. I then noticed a strange cigar like object moving SE to S that I couldn't identify. It was completely transfixing. About 45 seconds into my observation, a orange orb instantly appeared directly to the right of the craft, then blinked out after about 2-3 seconds. It was at this point that I pulled out my iPhone and captured about 25 seconds of relatively shaky video. You can definitely make the object out though. There were no discernable normal aircraft lights and the craft made no sound. In my video, a bird flies by in the foreground of the craft which gives the craft considerable scale. You could also probably determine the speed of the craft, as it's flying just above some cloud cover which should provide reference points for speed determination. As the object moved further away, I stopped taking video and ran inside to grab my binoculars. When I returned a few seconds later, the object was gone.
Alleged Door: Alien’s Entrance to the Massive World
Alleged Door: Alien’s Entrance to the Massive World
Aliens have always been a debatable subject in the history. Nobody had taken photos together with these creatures, but couples are claiming to have seen as such. With the internet becoming the best source of information, alien encounters have become viral. Some say it is apparent that humans are not alone by sharing their experiences of probing following their casual stroll. Is alien invasion real? Do they exist? Is there such thing as alien visitations or abduction? You can never tell.
On March 14, 2016, the alleged “door” that suggests a hollow sun theory was captured. While some believe it is just a mere artificial structure, others say it is an alien megastructure. If not all, most scientists claimed that the sun is made of magnesium, hydrogen, and other elements, but some claim otherwise. A photo captured by Nasa’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory satellite is believed to display a huge door opening in the sun permitting vessels to exit and enter.
TheWatcher252, YouTuber and alien hunter captured a huge, bizarre shaped anomaly passing through the sun. The photo was taken on March 14, 2016. As soon as the UFO Sightings Daily saw the picture, the team picked up the story and uncovered it to others. The sun opened to allow extraterrestrial vessels to enter or exit. This occurrence may be an answer for the mysterious Hollow Sun Theory, which conspiracy theorists have been claiming for years. In the theory, it suggests that the sun will cool, shrink, and collapse since it is empty on the inside. However, there is nothing absolute about this matter. Jeffrey Wolynski is the brain on this matter. He claims that the sun is younger than the Earth and that they are entirely hollowed structures that tend to collapse gravitationally until the barrier is reached.
MoD Scientist Becomes a Whistleblower After Strange UFO Encounter
MoD Scientist Becomes a Whistleblower After Strange UFO Encounter
A CGI of the alleged UFO
In past times, people were burned at the stake for merely believing in the existence of extraterrestrial life. Today, extraterrestrial intelligence remains a horrible obstacle for war-minded humans. However, would it suffice when a whistleblower comes along? A scientist working with US Department of Defence has turned out to be the latest high-ranking personnel to whistleblow the strange sightings alleged for the past years.
During a hunting trip, the laser and electromagnetic systems expert claim to have spotted an odd but extraordinary phone receiver-shaped strange object over woods in Canada. During a 40-minute interview, the man shared his experiences with the Mutual UFO Network. According to the interview, he was one of the three-man team trips on August 28, 2013. At about 9.40 pm on the same day, they saw a strange spacecraft that looked like a forged mercury 400 feet away. The said craft has more or less 150 to 175 feet in altitude and has brilliant in polish.
The alleged craft has brilliant brightness, and enough to provide light intensity. This man has been working and involved in diverse operating systems, but he has not seen a coherent light that goes similar to his strange sighting. He believed that it was a defocused laser and not a focused laser. It stayed for about six minutes and slowly vanished into thin air. Throughout their encounter, they claimed that no cameras would work, but when the craft was a mile away, all cameras started to work. Most people do not trust in the existence of aliens. They reason out that humans are the only form of life.
It is indeed viable that there are other parts of the universe where life is viable. After all, the earth is like a grain of smooth in a thick sand. They were able to record an electromagnetic signature but is not in connection with an alien craft. He is calling for anyone who has seen a similar craft with knowledge of high-frequency generation systems.
New Interstellar Spacecraft Sails Slm on Brakes for Exoplanet Flybys
New Interstellar Spacecraft Sails Slm on Brakes for Exoplanet Flybys
Scientists in the UK and Germany have come up with a quicker way to brake spacecraft on interstellar missions, by combining magnetic and electric sails.
Interstellar spacecraft will be able to brake better and have the time to take extended measurements of their surroundings if they are constructed with both magnetic and electric sails, according to a recent study, called 'Combining Magnetic and Electric Sails for Interstellar Deceleration.'
Currently, one of the most promising technologies for decelerating a spacecraft on an interstellar mission is the magnetic sail, which uses the deflection of interstellar matter via a magnetic field to decelerate the spacecraft.
However, while the magnetic sail is very efficient at high velocities, its performance decreases with lower speeds.
The location of galaxy GN-z11, which is the farthest galaxy ever seen.
To solve this problem, scientists from the Technical University of Munich and the Initiative for Interstellar Studies in London have proposed combining the magnetic sail with an electric sail, which is more effective at lower velocities.
"Msails fail to produce sufficient forces in the low speed limit and Esails require very large masses in order to decelerate from the high cruising speeds of interstellar missions," they wrote in their article, published on arXiv.org.
"Using both sails sequentially outperforms using only the magnetic or electric sail for various mission scenarios and velocity ranges, at a constant total spacecraft mass."
For decelerating to interplanetary velocities from five percent of the speed of light in a vacuum, the scientists calculated that a spacecraft with a total mass of 8250 kg would take about 40 years with a magnetic sail, 35 years with an electric sail, and 29 years if it has both sails.

Stephen Hawking: Black holes could be portals to other universes
Black holes are often viewed as inescapable vortexes, but, in a recent talk at Harvard University, Stephen Hawking suggested they might be more like portals than prisons, reports the Boston Globe.
Black holes are often viewed as inescapable vortexes, but, in a recent talk at Harvard University, Stephen Hawking suggested they might be more like portals than prisons. Said Hawking, “Things can get out of a black hole, both from the outside and possibly though another universe.” Embracing the opportunity to use the forces as a metaphor for life, he also commented, “So if you feel you’re in a black hole, don’t give up. There’s a way out.” Of course what comes out of the other side of a black hole would unlikely resemble what went in. On the matter, Hawking noted, “It’s like burning an encyclopedia. The information is not lost, if you keep all the ashes. But it’s difficult to read.”

Hillary Clinton tells 'alien abductee' national security could block UFO truth bid
Hillary Clinton tells 'alien abductee' national security could block UFO truth bid
US PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Hillary Clinton has conceded she may be blocked from revealing if the truth about alien visitations is "out there" if it is deemed to compromise national security.
Mrs Clinton, and her campaign manager John Podesta, have been claiming for months she will open the so-called top-secret X-Files if she makes it into the White House.
But, taking part in a radio talk show with a man who claims he was abducted by aliens, she accepted she could be blocked.
The Democrat frontrunner was campaigning in East Harlem, New York, when she took part in the Power 105.1 Breakfast Club.
Asked by one of the show's hosts, Lenard McKelvey - also known as Charlamagne the God - who believes he was abducted by aliens several times, if she would really deliver on her quest for truth about UFOs and the top-secret military base Area 51 in the Nevada desert, she said simply, “I am.”
However, she added a caveat that she will not be able to release any files that are closed due to national security.
She said: "I mean, if there’s some huge national security thing and I can’t get agreement to open them, I won’t, but I do want to open them because I’m interested.”
She was also pressed on whether she believes in aliens, adding: "I don’t know. I want to see what the information shows.
"But there are enough stories out there that I don’t think everybody is just sitting in their kitchen, making them up.
"I think that people see things. What they see, I don’t know. But we have got to try to give people information. I believe in that.”
The disclosure movement has long called for the release of all information about UFOs and alleged alien visitations from world governments, and is huge in the USA, where many sightings are reported.
It has led to some speculation Mrs Clinton may be just paying lip service to secure millions of voters across the country.
I mean, if there’s some huge national security thing and I can’t get agreement to open them, I won’t, but I do want to open them because I’m interested.
Hillary Clinton
Alejandro Rojas, editor and contributing writer for Open Minds magazine and OpenMinds.tv, said in an article about the radio show: "There has been a lot of debate as to why Clinton keeps discussing UFOs when asked.
"Typically, politicians gloss over the topic or make a joke of it. However, she has repeatedly answered confidently that she intends to look into the matter.
"The cynical view would be that Clinton has no interest in the topic, she is just pandering for the 'UFO vote'.”
But he said that politicians who previously dabbled in the issue had damaged their campaign, so she may have a genuine interest.
But, UFO expert Lee Speigel believes the “UFO vote” could number in the millions.
A 2012 National Geographic survey found 36 per cent of Americans believe extraterrestrials have visited Earth, while a staggering 80 per cent think the US government is covering this up for fear of the potential impact on society.
It isn’t a normal occurrence to hear someone say that she was abducted by aliens, but Valerie claims that she was, in fact, abducted by aliens some 20 years ago. Valerie recalls the night that she was abducted.
As Valerie visited Roy Dutton, author and UFO expert, in Torquay, she recalls that night she was abducted by aliens,Torquay Herald Express reports.
On the night of July 16, 1981, Valerie, 26, was driving home from Sheffield with her two friends, Rosemary and Vivienn.
It all began when Valerie and her friends saw a very bright light in the sky. Valerie discusses the details with Roy.
“We saw a craft in the sky, it was about 30ft in diameter and hovered directly above the car. I was in the back, I didn’t remember much at the time — none of us did, things started to come back after the hypnosis. I remembered hearing a beeping noise and I started to feel quite drowsy. Me and Rosemary saw the craft hovering over the field next to us. I can remember seeing windows and a dome, it had a rim on it. But Rosemary couldn’t remember what it looked like.”
After that moment, Valerie and the two others could not remember anything else until they were back in the car traveling the remainder of the way home. Valerie, Rosemary and Vivienn did report the alien abduction to the police station, however, they were simply laughed at.
[Photo by Andrew Burton/ Getty Images]Valerie told Roy that she heard a voice saying, “Don’t be afraid,” then all of a sudden she felt as if she was inside a vacuum.
“I was in a white wedge shaped room with two humanoid beings, a male and a female both with shoulder length dark hair and hypnotic blue eyes.”
A funny turn to the story, Valerie said the female was very interested in her shoes and clothes.
“You’ll laugh but the female gestured to try on my shoes, I laughed. I remember laughing at the time. But afterwards, philosophically I wondered whether it was trying to communicate that it wanted to see what it felt like to walk in my shoes.”
Roy has his own opinion on the alien abduction.
“I believe they are possibly from a parallel universe, to me that seems to be the most reasonable explanation.”
UFO Case Book has a record of alien abduction cases dated back to the early 1950’s. One case, which took place in 2005, was a couple who was allegedly abducted by aliens and the woman, who was pregnant, lost her baby during the encounter.
The woman, Donna Lee, told Local 6 News that they had been abducted multiple times, one time included her fetus being taken by the aliens.
Donna drew a photo of the aliens and a hypnotist tried to recover memories of her alien abduction. Donna believes that they will eventually be abducted again.
Another case recorded was the 2005 alien abduction in Florida. This man, Thomas, claims that he was watching the news at 1 am when he had a sudden urge to go outside. When he went outside, he saw a very bright orange light above the pond in his back yard. Thomas explained what he saw and mentioned that the beautiful object just vanished.
[Photo by Chris Jackson/ Getty Images]What felt like a short moment was actually a couple hours. Thomas did not go back inside his home until 3:52 am. After his possible alien abduction, Thomas was very thirsty and couldn’t get enough water. He eventually vomited, had diarrhea and could not urinate.
A couple days later, Thomas discovered a tiny, red triangle on his chest, which had a burning sensation. When Thomas went to the doctor, he was informed of his elevated Triglycerides and his high risk of a stroke or heart attack, as well as his extremely low Electrolytes.
Do you believe in alien abductions? Roy already wrote one book on Valerie’s experience, and is in the process of writing a second book some 20 years after Valerie’s alien abduction experience.

Resultaten van een onderzoek naar een mysterieuze, sterk penetrerende straling uit de ruimt
Jan De Ceuster –BUFON-Publicatie 31.3.2016
Resultaten van een onderzoek naar een mysterieuze, sterk penetrerende straling uit de ruimte
De allereerste resultaten dateren ,naar mijn weten , van in de jaren ’90 .
Deze werden geformuleerd door Gregory Hodowanec van de G.H. Labs in Newark, N.J. , USA.
Het betreft hier experimenten waarbij het volgende werd waargenomen: opstellingen die sommige materialen bevatten met isolatiematerialen met hoge permeabiliteitswaarden waren gevoelig aan invloeden van fenomenen die zich ver weg in de ruimte afspeelden
Opmerkelijk hierbij was dat deze invloed ervan maximaal werd telkens de bron van de ze straling verscheen in zuidelijke richting voor de meridiaan van de waarnemingsplaats.
Na een ganse reeks metingen kwam Hodowanec tot de conclusie dat de ontvangen spanningspieken een maximum aan signaal vertoonden als bepaalde gebieden aan de hemel in het Zuiden verschenen. Verrassend was ook dat deze pieken zich steeds herhaalden om de 12h en 24 h . Dit verschijnsel trad op met steeds 4 minuten vertraging dag na dag wat een duidelijk aanwijzing was dat er een correlatie was met de draaiing van de aarde om zijn as en dat deze impulsen steeds uit dezelfde richtinguit de ruimte moesten toekomen.
Uiteindelijk bleek deze straling telkens samen te vallen met een aantal plaatsen in sterrenbeelden met zeer grote astronomische activiteit onder andere met restanten van explosies van sterren .
Vermits nu deze metingen op een eenvoudige wijze kunnen herhaald worden en door elke persoon met een basiskennis en wat electronica opleiding mogelijk is, was ik als gebeten door nieuwsgierigheid deze ook te herdoen en me te overtuigen van de juistheid van Hodowanec `s beweringen.
Erg skeptisch in den beginne heb ik het bewuste toestel nagebouwd om aan te tonen dat deze mysterieuze kon gedetecteerd wordenmet zo `n eenvoudige middelen .
Tot mijn grote verbazing was het resultaat van de eerste meetreeks een schot in de roos
De ontvangen pulssignalen waren ook op onze breedtegraad van 51°04`17 ´´ terug te brengen naar verschillende constellaties in onze Melkweg en ook zelfs daarbuiten.
In ons Melkwegstelsel was het centrum op een rechte klimming van 17h42 en ook een aantal andere open sterrenhopen met grote activiteit ,zoals de Crabnevel , de Orionnevel die zeer duidelijk terug te vinden waren.
Naast de bronnen in onze eigen Melkweg konden ook nog een aantal extra-galactische systemen gelokaliseerd worden zoals het dubbelstelsel M81/M82 op een rechte klimming van10h13 ; M31/M32 in Andromeda op 0h04 en M52 op 61° NB met een rechte klimming van 23h35.
De meetreeksen werden onlangs uitgevoerd van 19 Maart tot 25 Maart 2016 ,zowel s`nachts als overdag. De registratie gebeurde punt per punt elke minuut gedurende telkens 12h zonder onderbreking. Zie hierbijgevoegdeen meetresultaat van vroeger(2014) en van een aantal dagen onlangs (2016) uitgevoerd.
Conclusie:
De recent uitgevoerde meetreeks bevestigt de beweringen van Greg Hodowanec
Alle door hem te verwachten signaturen voor nova, supernova en zwaarte gaten zijn terug te vinden
Wat de door hem vooropgestelde cosmologie betreft zou de mysterieuze straling van scalaire gravitationele aard zijn, opgewekt door de catastrofale gebeurtenissen in het heelal.
In zijn betoog beweert Hodowanec dat de opgevangen straling van niet- electromagnetische aard zou zijn . Hij berust zich op het feit dat de intensiteit van het gemeten signaal binnen een Faraday kooi even groot is als erbuiten ,gegeven dat ook in mijn onderzoek geconstateerd is.
Deze bevindingen wijzen , volgens hem, in de richting van een scalair fenomeen dat op een volledig andere wijze zich zou laten voelen in de ganse ruimte .
De sterkte van het gemeten signaal is blijkbaar functie van de ligging van de bron ten opzichte van breedte graad van de waarnemingsplaats. Er is ook een verschil geconstateerd van hoe de instraling binnenvalt op de meetplaats .Het verschil in signaalsterkte voor het Melkwegcentrum tussen opnames dag of nacht is te verklaren dat niettegenstaande het centrum zichtbaar is boven de waarnemingshorizon en het signaalbron direct zichtbaar , het signaal toch zwakker is als een onrechtstreekse meting doorheen de aarde . Dit feit is blijkbaar functie van de parallelliteit van de signaal gradiënten van het invallend signaal en het verloop hiervan van de aardgravitatie ;
Dit alles wijst zeer sterk op een scalair karakter waar de sterkten van de signalen op een algebraïsche manier samen stellen wat een reden is het fenomeen als een scalair te beschouwen . Vanuit deze gegevens besluit Hodowanec dan ook dat de invloed aan gravitationele aard is.
Interview two: Inter-dimensional, extra-terrestrial or government projects?
Interview two: Inter-dimensional, extra-terrestrial or government projects?
Interview conducted by Jaime Ortega.
Nick Pope.
He is an author, journalist and broadcaster, who once ran the British Government’s UFO project and is now recognized as a leading authority on the unexplained, conspiracy theories and fringe science.
1) A lot of people have observed lights floating in the sky, some shaped like lines and dots; others proclaim to have observed unknown aircraft flying around visible sight – the government calls them black projects. Are such sightings real?
There’s no doubt that throughout human history people have seen strange things in the sky that they were unable to identify at the time. In this sense, these sightings are undeniably “real”. That said, most sightings turn out to be miss-identifications of ordinary objects and phenomena. On occasion, people have seen secret prototype aircraft or drones, and reported them as “UFOs”, but this doesn’t happen as often as some people might think, because these so-called black projects are normally tested in remote military areas, well away from public scrutiny.
2) In 2012 Kelton Research conducted a survey commissioned by National Geographic that showed that one out of ten Americans had personally witnesses a UFO. Many cases are observed all over the world. Do people that observe these crafts, are they delusional? Do they suffer from any mental condition?
A small proportion of UFO sightings are attributable to hoaxes or some sort of psychological or psychiatric factor, such as a delusion or hallucination. However, as stated previously, most sightings are miss-identifications, and in these cases, while the witnesses may not be identifying something correctly, they’re not delusional.
3) Area 51 in Nevada, nicknamed Dreamland is it really an installation run by government. How many are they?
Governments all around the world run various facilities, some secret and some not secret. There are few facilities quite on the scale of Area 51, but I don’t know how many similar facilities to this exist worldwide, and I probably couldn’t say so even if I knew, as information about such sites is usually highly classified.
4) Is there a difference between UFOs and military aircraft? (floating light vs physical powered object)
Some UFO sightings are generated by people seeing military aircraft, but this is only one of many, many different things that cause people to report UFO sightings. The UFO phenomenon is multi-faceted, and there’s no single, neat explanation that explains all of the sightings. This is a mystery with more than one explanation.
5) We know the universe is not infinite because it continues to expand at a greater speed than light. Astronomers have plotted the dimensions of the universe composed of 4% matter, and the remaining hypothetical dark energy and dark matter. The theory of evolution holds grown in the mainstream scientific community, but mathematically wise, what are the chances of evolution occurring in other galaxies?
Wherever life might arise, elsewhere in the Universe, I strongly suspect that evolution by natural selection will occur. I think this will turn out to be a ‘universal law’, in the same sense as the unalterable laws of mathematics.
6) SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) has never received radio signals from outer-space that support the idea that life exist outside of planet earth. Do we have any hard evidence to back the existence of UFOs or is it based on highly speculative assumptions?
We do not yet have any ‘smoking gun’ in relation to UFOs. In other words, there is no definitive proof that any sightings are attributable to extraterrestrial activity. Having said that, there are many unexplained UFO sightings with intriguing evidence in terms of reliable eyewitness testimony, radar data, and photographic and video imagery. As for SETI, their search is based on sound scientific assumptions, and while they have been unsuccessful to date, there is no reason why they might not be successful in the future. Indeed, this is increasingly likely as the next generation of radio telescopes become operational.
7) There are a few problems with the ETH (extraterrestrial theory). Physics shows it is impossible for any mass composed by atoms to reach the speed of light (186.000 miles per second). Even if they reached SL travel, coming from another galaxy would take them at least two million years to get to planet earth —- the closest star system Alpha Centaury is 4.5 LY from earth and there is no evidence of life there– strangely most UFO’s observed are small and not massive showing different forms and shapes. Some estimates indicate that a space ship carrying ten people travelling five LY’s from a nearby star at almost the speed of light would use up 500.000 times the total amount of energy consumed in the US in one year; also, an equal amount of energy would be consumed just in slowing down the spacecraft from the incredible speed at which it was travelling – for larger craft like the massive spacecraft shown in the movie Independence Day, it would use an staggering amount of energy. But physicist contend that to accelerate to the actual SL it is impossible because it would require infinite energy. Also changing direction in speed at such high speeds could obliterate any spacecraft given the amount of energy required to change direction while moving. Another problem is that reaching great travel speed in space would be very dangerous. It has been estimated that there are 100.000 dust particles per-cubic meter in space. Travelling at SL, an impact with even one of these tiny dust particles would destroy a spaceship – at one-tenth the speed of light, the impact would be equal to an explosion of almost ten tons of TNT. The last problem encountered, is that if these aliens have biological bodies, in space they would be exposed by extreme heat and freezing conditions – not to mention exposure to Gamma Rays, and Cosmic Rays constantly travelling through space which could instantly kill any biological organism. So with all the examples given above, what is the likelihood of UFO’s to be of extraterrestrial origin?
We should always remember that when we talk about the laws of physics, we talk about them as they are currently understood. But our understanding changes all the time as a result of the scientific process of postulating new theories and then validating them through experimentation. We see this happening, for example, at CERN. So we should be wary of saying that things are “impossible” in terms of the laws of physics. However, even if faster-than-light travel is genuinely impossible, it does not rule out the ETH, if we get away from the idea of piloted vehicles. Humans have designed and built craft (e.g. the Voyager and Pioneer probes) that will eventually traverse interstellar distances. So a civilization at only our own technological level, but which started its space program a few hundred thousand or perhaps a few million years before us (hardly inconceivable in a Universe nearly 14 billion years old), could already have seeded large parts of our galaxy with such probes.
8) Some ufologist claim that many objects observed travelling in the sky violate the laws of known physics. Objects that reach speeds of 50,000 MPH. Some objects suddenly make 90 degree turns in mid-air travelling nearly at 25,000 MPH. These object make no physical noise, and unlike aircraft or known space craft, make no sonic booms. Most of the objects cannot be picked up by radar, but some have. Sometimes show up on photographs, but other times do not. Many change colors many times only when accelerating, with virtually every color of the spectrum reported. Many times UFO’s instantly appear and disappear in front of people and they will pass through physical objects; people have also observed multiple UFO’s merged with other UFO’s, and into one UFO, and one UFO turn into many UFOs. What is your take on this?
Again, this shows the multi-faceted nature of the phenomenon. We are almost certainly dealing with a variety of different things here. A few reports are completely fabricated (i.e. they are hoaxes), or the product of some sort of delusion. Others will be attributable to people seeing secret prototype aircraft or drones. But other sightings may be misidentifications of meteors, fireballs, satellites, mirages, weather balloons, or any number of other meteorological, atmospheric or astronomical phenomena. So the variety of speeds, accelerations and other factors reported does not surprise me.
9) Gordon Creighton editor of the Flying Saucer Review, and recognized as the UFO leading publication said in 1996, before he died that. “There seems to be no evidence yet that any of these crafts or beings originate from outer space” – a position later adopted by Dr. Jacques Vallee a computer scientist and astrophysics a leading expert on the subject . Do you agree?
The extraterrestrial hypothesis is only one competing theory among many. Even among those people who support a non-conventional explanation for the UFO phenomenon there are competing theories, e.g. the idea that some UFO sightings may be attributable to inter-dimensional or inter-temporal phenomena of some sort. I think there’s some intriguing evidence pointing towards non-conventional explanations in some cases, but as I said previously, we don’t yet have any definitive proof.
10) There is growing speculation that UFO’s are not extraterrestrial in origin, but more likely inter-dimensional entities. Many have abandoned the ETH for the IDH hypothesis — do you agree?
This is certainly a theory that is gaining popularity at present, though in a sense this theory is no more or no less speculative than the ETH. That said, with scientists at CERN discussing the search for so-called ‘hidden’ dimensions, it is tempting to remind ourselves that today’s science fiction is sometimes tomorrow’s science fact.
11) According to the “Roper poll” nearly 4 million American’s have suffered an alien abduction. Is the number of alien cited abductions growing in America and worldwide?
Though well-intentioned, this Roper poll was based on some erroneous reasoning. Essentially, it was designed to identify people who had experienced a number of things previously reported by people who believe they have been abducted by aliens, e.g. a period of so-called “missing time”. But such reasoning is flawed, because there are numerous prosaic reasons why people may believe they have experienced missing time, including falling asleep, having a poor memory, or simply not being very good at estimating the time. The other factors that the poll was looking for are also ones for which there are various conventional explanations.
12) Is it true that those who been abducted claim to have had sexual experimentation, face to face contact, translucent apparitions, predictions of catastrophic events including performing tasks? Is this true or imaginary?
All of these things have been reported, but we don’t know how much of this is attributable to hoaxes, dreams, hallucinations, or distorted memories caused by regression hypnosis. As with UFO sightings, while most of the claims may be made by people who genuinely believe the events happened as reported, we can’t be sure that this is what actually happened. In other words, people may be essentially truthful, but mistaken about what they have actually experienced.
13) Is it true that alien abductees are given speeches of new age philosophy by their captors? What is there message?
These ‘messages’ are actually quite clichéd. Interestingly, they seem to reflect contemporary concerns popular in the media and in wider society. Currently, environmental issues are mentioned a lot, and previously, concerns seemed to be predominantly about nuclear war. This is an important clue, I think, that these ‘messages’ actually come from within ourselves, and not from extraterrestrials.
14) Many people claim that aliens ask abductees to enter a state of trance to communicate with them?
Again, I think this is a clue that these experiences may come from within ourselves, and are the product of our imaginations. The idea of some form of telepathic communication is something one sees a lot in science fiction, and if abductees are reporting this, it may be that people are incorporating expectations (inspired by sci-fi) of what aliens will do into their narrative.
15) The following quotes brought by experts on the subject explain there is a strong relationship between alien abduction and poltergeist and demonic possessions in the past.
-Gordon Creighton, Official 1992 Flying Saucer Review Policy Statement “A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities as well as phenomena like poltergeist [ghost] manifestation and ‘possession.’ Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena.”
– Lynn E. Catoe, UFOs and Related Subjects: USGPO, 1969; prepared under AFOSR Project Order 67-0002 and 68-0003 “UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it… the modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical.”
-Dr. Pierre Guerin, FSR Vol. 25, No. 1, p. 13-14 “The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon…”
– John A. Keel, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse, p. 299 “A working knowledge of occult science…is indispensable to UFO investigation.”
-Trevor James, FSR Vol. 8, No. 1, p.10 “Studies of flying saucer cults repeatedly show that they are part of a larger occult social world.”
-Stupple & McNeece, 1979 MUFON UFO Symposium Proceedings, p. 49 “The ‘medical examination’ to which abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks.”
– Dr. Jacques Vallee, Confrontations, p. 13 “The symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiation ritual or astral voyage that is embedded in the [occult] traditions of every culture…the structure of abduction stories is identical to that of occult initiation rituals…the UFO beings of today belong to the same class of manifestation as the [occult] entities that were described in centuries past.”
-Dr. Jacques Vallee citing the extensive research of Bertrand Meheust [ Science-Fiction et Soucoupes Volantes (Paris, 1978); Soucoupes Volantes et Folklore (Paris, 1985)], in Confrontations, p. 146, 159-161 “[The occultist] is brought into intelligent communication with the spirits of the air, and can receive any knowledge which they possess, or any false impression they choose to impart…the demons seem permitted to do various wonders at their request.”
– G.H. Pember, Earth’s Earliest Ages and Their Connection with Modern Spiritualism and Theosophy (1876), p. 254 “These entities are clever enough to make Streiber think they care about him. Yet his torment by them never ceases. Whatever his relationship to the entities, and he increasingly concludes that their involvement with him is something ‘good,’ he also remains terrified of them and uncertain as to what they are.”
– John Ankerberg, The Facts on UFOs and Other Supernatural Phenomena, p. 21 “I became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was so powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate… ‘Whitley’ ceased to exist. What was left was a body and a state of raw fear so great that it swept about me like a thick, suffocating curtain, turning paralysis into a condition that seemed close to death…I died and a wild animal appeared in my place.”
– Whitley Streiber, Communion, p. 25-26 “Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even be more than life and death. It might be a struggle for my soul, my essence, or whatever part of me might have reference to the eternal. There are worse things than death, I suspected… so far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me…Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons …At the very least I was going stark, raving mad.”
– Whitley Streiber, Transformation, p. 44-45 “I wondered if I might not be in the grip of demons, if they were not making me suffer for their own purposes, or simply for their enjoyment.”
Others claim a smell of sulfur is present within their abduction also identical with demonic possessions and poltergeist. What is your opinion of such controversy?
I’m certainly aware that some people regard UFOs as demonic, often on the basis of the Biblical description of Satan as being “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). Irrespective of what one believes, I don’t think one should ignore this aspect, because as long as some people think any of this is true, it’s relevant, on the basis that one’s personal background, culture and belief system is likely to play a role in how anomalous events (or events that people believe to be anomalous) are perceived and interpreted. Personally, I’m an atheist, and I believe that it’s better to examine claims of anomalous phenomena using science and reason, not fear and superstition.
16) Any final thoughts?
Some of my answers may sound as if I’m overly skeptical about this phenomenon. While this may be the case, I should point out that I certainly don’t dismiss any of this out of hand. It’s certainly a subject that merits more serious, scientific research and investigation than is currently the case. And finally, as I often like to remind people, the skeptics have to be right every day, but the believers only have to be right once!

Het einde van de wereld nog niet meteen voor morgen, laat staan voor vandaag? Wetenschappers zien toch een aantal gevaren die op elk moment kunnen toeslaan en die de overheden volgens hen wereldwijd onderschatten. Van killer robots tot asteroïdes: miljoenen mensen zouden zomaar in sneltempo kunnen sterven. Een realistisch beeld van de apocalyps.
Op korte termijn - binnen de vijf jaar - schuilt het gevaar onder meer in gemanipuleerde virussen en superbacteriën, in klimaatverandering en extreme droogte, in inslaande asteroïdes en supervulkaanuitbarstingen. Dat stelt hetGlobal Catastrophice Risks-verslag, waaraan onder meer wetenschappers van de universiteit van Oxford en van het Global Priorities Project meewerkten. Zij sommen de risico's op die de menselijke populatie op onze planeet mogelijk kunnen decimeren. Anders gezegd: wereldrampen waarbij minstens 740 miljoen mensen zouden omkomen.
De pest Elke generatie acht de kans klein dat het háár zal overkomen, maar denkbeeldig zijn de gevaren lang niet. Zo wijzen de wetenschappers erop dat amper een eeuw geleden in 1918 de Spaanse griep het leven kostte aan miljoenen mensen. En ook een ziekte als de pest is vandaag nog altijd niet uitgeroeid; de laatste pandemie dateert van eind negentiende eeuw.
Bovendien kwamen we vorige eeuw een paar keer dicht bij een nucleaire oorlog, stelt het rapport, dat vindt dat overheden te weinig aandacht besteden aan mogelijke wereldwijde catastrofes. Nochtans bedreigen ze niet alleen ieders leven vandaag, maar ook dat van toekomstige generaties, klinkt het. Een krachtige variant van de vogelgriep, bijvoorbeeld, kan op relatief korte tijd miljoenen mensen doden.
Artificiële intelligentie Op langere termijn hangen niet enkel de klimaatverandering, pandemieën en atoomoorlogen als een zwaard van Damocles boven ons hoofd, maar ook de opkomst van artificiële intelligentie baart academici zorgen. "Er is geen specifieke reden om aan te nemen dat de mens het toppunt van de schepping is", zegt Sebastian Farquhar van het Global Priorities Project. "Het lijkt aannemelijk dat bepaalde AI-systemen ergens in de toekomst de mens systematisch zullen wegconcurreren." Het doembeeld van Frankenstein, zeg maar. Farquhar waarschuwt er tevens voor dat terreurgroepen zoals IS via biotechnologie hun eigen virussen zouden kunnen fabriceren om op de mensheid los te laten.
Volgens Farquhar is een coördinatie op internationale schaal nodig om al deze risico's het hoofd te bieden. "We mogen zeker niet vergeten dat die gevaren geen halt houden aan de landsgrenzen en rustig de paspoortcontroles afwachten. Ze hebben van nature uit een globaal karakter. Dit is niet het soort problemen waarvan een land kan zeggen: "Oké, wij zijn voorbereid, dat de rest van de wereld het zelf oplost'. Dat hebben we gezien met de ebolacrisis."
VIDEORuimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft indrukwekkende beelden vrijgegeven van een zonnevlam die zich voordeed op 17 april.
De beelden werden gemaakt door NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, een ruimtesonde die de zon voortdurend observeert om wetenschappers te helpen begrijpen wat uitbarstingen als deze veroorzaakt.
Zonnevlammen zijn krachtige uitbarstingen van straling. De straling die bij zo'n vlam vrijkomt is schadelijk, maar wordt tegengehouden door de atmosfeer van de aarde, zodat het leven op onze planeet er niet door getroffen wordt. Indien de vlam intens genoeg is, kan ze wel de atmosfeer verstoren op het niveau van GPS- en communicatiesignalen.
De zonnevlam op deze beelden was van een matige sterkte en zorgde volgens NASA enkel voor een korte radiostoring.

THIS MYSTERIOUS OBJECT FROM EARTH’S DISTANT PAST HAS JUST RETURNED
THIS MYSTERIOUS OBJECT FROM EARTH’S DISTANT PAST HAS JUST RETURNED
A first-of-its-kind space rock filled with pristine material from the formation of the Earth itself has returned to the inner solar system, after billions of years in the cosmic boondocks. And it could help us piece together our planet’s origin story.
Four and a half billion years ago, chunks of the same material that formed Earth and the other rocky planets are thought to have been flung into the Oort cloud, a ring of icy debris encircling the outermost edge of the solar system. Untouched, they’ve been preserved for eons in the deep freeze of space. Now, astronomers have spotted one of these fossils nearby, marking the very first observation of a rocky object from the Oort cloud.
“This is super exciting, because it could be a piece of what formed the Earth” Olivier Hainaut—an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory and co-author on the new Science Advances study describing the discovery—told Gizmodo.
The object, dubbed PANSTARRS, was spotted in 2014 by Pan-STARRS1, a Hawaiian telescope used to identify rogue comets and asteroids in our planet’s backyard. The telescope routinely surveys the entire sky and turns up thousands of uninteresting hunks of debris. But as soon as PANSTARRS’ orbit had been calculated, Hainaut and his colleagues realized they had found something exceptional.
The shape of the orbit was indicative of a long period comet—an icy body that fell into the inner solar system from the Oort cloud. But as comets from the Oort cloud hurl toward the Sun, they release a long tail of sublimating ice and dust. This one didn’t.
Curious, the astronomers decided to take a closer look using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. And things got even stranger. By studying the faint light reflected off PANSTARRS, Hainaut and his colleagues learned that it is not filled with ice at all, but with rocky material. In terms of composition, it’s a classic S-type asteroid, similar to those found main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
“If you’d shown me the spectrum, I would have just said this is another stupid asteroid,” Hainaut said. “If you showed me the orbit, I’d say yea, it’s a standard long-period comet. But you don’t at all expect to find a rocky asteroid on an Oort cloud orbit. That’s wrong.”
One possible explanation is that an asteroid was flung into the Oort cloud somewhat recently, before falling back toward the inner solar system. But it soon became apparent that this wasn’t the case.
“When we observed it very carefully, its spectrum showed that the rocks hadn’t been baked by the Sun,” Hainaut explained. “They’re primordial.”
Eventually, the astronomers concluded that PANSTARRS was formed in the inner solar system long ago, before being ejected into the Oort cloud as the rocky planets themselves were coalescing. That makes it a potential building block of Earth, Venus, Mercury, or Mars
“This one is the first uncooked asteroid we have found: it has been preserved in the best freezer there is,” lead study author Karen Meech of the University of Hawaii said in a statement.
PANSTARRS HAS CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION READ MORE:
Now that PANSTARRS has caught our attention, astronomers are hoping to find more objects like it. There are several competing theories about how the solar system formed, and they predict different ratios of icy to rocky objects in the Oort cloud. “Depending on how the planets migrated, the number of rocky planetesimals in the Oort cloud will change dramatically,” Hainaut said. “Just by counting these objects up and doing statistics, we can say which theories are completely wrong and which ones survive.”
PANSTARRS has already made its closest approach to the Sun, and it’s now on its way back to the outer solar system. But if we get lucky, one of its cousins may whiz even closer to Earth, allowing astronomers to get a detailed look at its composition. This could lend insight into the exact conditions under which our planet was formed. Our history is flying around out there, and if we’re patient enough, we’ll find it
Een jongeman, woonachtig in midden Nederland, loopt vorige week op een avond met een tas lege flessen naar de glasbak om die daar te deponeren.
Enkele uren later word hij wakker op een verlaten parkeerplaats en kan zich helemaal niets meer herinneren.
In de loop der jaren zijn op deze website talloze verhalen gepubliceerd van mensen die mogelijk slachtoffer zijn geworden van een buitenaardse ontvoering.
Een veel voorkomend kenmerk daarbij is dat mensen tijd “kwijt zijn”. Een bepaalde periode waarover ze geen herinnering hebben. Vaak zijn ze daarna verward en hebben geen flauw idee wat hen is overkomen.
Enkele dagen geleden gebeurde er iets dergelijks in ons land en wellicht hebben we hier te maken met een dergelijke ontvoering.
Hier volgt het verhaal van de moeder van het slachtoffer (dank!):
Vorige week werden we (mijn man en ik) om 12.15 uur 's nachts gebeld door de vriendin van onze zoon.
Hij was niet thuis,en ze had hem om 19.30 uur nog aan de telefoon gehad,(zij moest nog een paar uur werken). Hij zou nog even glas naar de glasbak brengen en verder de avond thuis zijn.
Ze kwam om 21.15 thuis en hij was nergens te bekennen. Het vreemde was: de auto stond voor de deur en zijn sleutels lagen op tafel. Tig keer heeft ze geprobeerd hem te bellen. Niets.
Belt alle vrienden en niemand weet iets.
Die sleutels op tafel vonden we verontrustend. Meteen in de auto gestapt en naar haar toe. Daar aangekomen blijkt hij net thuis gekomen.
Vertelt dat hij zojuist wakker was geworden op een verlaten parkeerplaats, niet ver van huis. Hij zag er verward uit en ik vroeg of hij iets van drugs had gebruikt. Nee dus.
Hij moest steeds huilen, snapte er niets van.
We besluiten een reconstructie te doen.
Met z'n allen naar de glas verzamelplaats. Hij herinnert zich daar geweest te zijn. De zak met glas lag daar ook nog. Weet zich vaag te herinneren dat hij terug naar huis liep. Dan houdt het op.
Dan wil hij ons laten zien waar hij wakker was geworden. Inderdaad erg achteraf. Hij loopt waggelend en blijft wazig.
Zijn vriendin oppert: slaapwandelen. Dat is een keer eerder gebeurd. Maar dan gewoon thuis.
Ik heb overal op internet gezocht maar echt nergens een melding of voorbeeld van slaapwandelen dat vier en een half uur heeft geduurd. De volgende dag realiseerde ik me de mogelijkheid van ontvoering. Ik heb het altijd heel logisch gevonden, en dacht altijd : tuurlijk, kan best. Maar toen ik me realiseerde dat dat met mijn zoon gebeurd zou kunnen zijn, was het van: Tuurlijk niet! Belachelijk!.
Tot op vandaag, weet hij niet wat er gebeurd is. Zouden jullie ons duidelijkheid kunnen en willen verschaffen? We zijn behoorlijk geschrokken en zoals je weet: je kunt bij niemand terecht met dit idee.
Deze gebeurtenis vond plaats op donderdag 21 april 2016 in het Gooi. Wij ontvingen nog de volgende aanvullende informatie:
Hij heeft niet echt zijn lichaam onderzocht, maar had wel en klein wondje aan zijn hand. Maar dat kan echt álles betekenen.
Hij heeft absoluut geen herinneringen en verwacht zelf niet dat dat nog zal komen. Aan zijn kleren was niets opmerkelijks te zien, alleen lag zijn GSM naast hem toen hij wakker werd.
Maar het kan natuurlijk zo zijn dat hij op een gegeven moment de telefoon voelde trillen en uit zijn zak heeft gehaald. Maar geen enkele oproep had hij beantwoord. En het was vorige week donderdag avond/nacht.
Mochten er mensen zijn die op die op 21 april 2016 iets merkwaardigs hebben waargenomen ergens in of rondom het Gooi dan horen wij het graag. Ook mensen die een suggestie hebben wat hier mogelijk aan de hand zou kunnen zijn.
WEER MEER VREEMDE ZAKEN IN YELLOWSTONE PARK, USA ( VIDEO )
WEER MEER VREEMDE ZAKEN IN YELLOWSTONE PARK, USA ( VIDEO )
De laatste weken is dit beroemde park in Amerika wederom regelmatig in het nieuws omdat er vreemde dingen gebeuren.
Daar bovenop nieuwe beelden die erop wijzen dat er rondom Yellowstone Park druk UFO-verkeer aanwezig is.
Ongeveer een week geleden schreven wij het volgende over een onbekend object wat in Yellowstone Park uit de lucht viel:
Als er iets door de lucht vliegt of op de grond neervalt wat we niet kunnen identificeren, spreken wij van een UFO, unidentified flying object.
Volgens die definitie is het zeker een UFO die enkele dagen geleden neerkwam in het beroemde park en niet ver van de supervulkaan.
Of het inderdaad een UFO was in de zin van een buitenaards ruimtevaartuig is nog maar de vraag, alhoewel sommige mensen ervan overtuigd zijn dat dit object bewust in het park is gecrasht.
In hetzelfde artikel ook berichten over een mogelijke False Flag aanval op het park met de bedoeling om bewust een explosie te veroorzaken.
Op 16 april ontdekt zij een vreemde lichtflits, net boven één van de geisers.
In de video hieronder is de lichtflits te zien op 1 minuut en 7 seconden. Het gaat heel snel, maar je ziet toch ook dat het iets nogal merkwaardigs is.
Er wordt nu gespeculeerd dat dit wellicht een UFO is, omdat het aantal waarnemingen in en rondom het park de laatste tijd aanzienlijk is toegenomen. Daarnaast omdat in de praktijk blijkt dat UFO’s worden aangetrokken door vulkanen en onweerswolken. In feite is ook Yellowstone niets anders dan een enorme vulkaan en is dat wat UFO’s klaarblijkelijk nodig hebben. Ze gebruiken de energie voor hun voertuigen en/of voor dimensieportalen zo lijkt het.
Dezelfde dame heeft op 26 april nog iets merkwaardigs ontdekt in het park. Weer zijn het beelden van de webcam, maar nu ’s nachts.
Je ziet dan ook niet veel, alleen op een gegeven moment een heel vreemd licht dat zich langzaam van rechts naar links over het scherm beweegt.
Vooralsnog heeft niemand een logische verklaring voor wat dit zou kunnen zijn en al met al lijkt het raadzaam om voorlopig het Yellowstone Park in de gaten te houden, want er gebeuren toch wel vreemde dingen.

UFO At Space Station Close Up On Camera, April 29, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Below photo is in NEGATIVE format. Shows its a solid object.
Date of sighting: April 29, 2016 Location of sighting: Earths orbit at space station The space station is an awesome place to try to catch a UFO. You got the back drop of space or Earth and the space station,which makes it even more amazing in its beauty. This UFO was caught by Streetcap1 of Youtube yesterday. It moves closer to get a view of the solar panel moving, then it changes its mind and begins to move backwards where it came from. Kinda cool, with amazing colors. Nice one byStreetcap1. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Hi ken: It was a cloudy night and I was looking at the moon through a break in the clouds. I then spotted a white light that was way off in the distance and was to big to be a star. At first I thought it was the international space station but the white light then began to move so I knew it couldn’t be the international space station. Also there were no signs of light beacons so I ruled it out as being a plane or helicopter. Furthermore there was no sound at all. I then zoomed into the white light with my Sony HX300 and could clearly see that it was changing shape. I started taking photographs.
In the first photograph the object looks like an F. In the rest of the photographs the white light takes on some other bizarre shapes. I took eight photographs before the white light shot off into the distance and out of sight. The photographs were taken on 24th of April 2016, at Newton Abbot Devon UK. Have a great week my friend.
KENS NOTE: This area in the United Kingdom is swarming with alien craft. John Mooner, my World UFO Photos researcher has taken hundreds of very strange and clear images of this area. The above alien craft photos were taken from very high altitudes in our atmosphere. I feel these craft are usually flying at higher altitudes so it make it very hard to see them with the naked eye. If you are sky watching for UFO’s, make sure you have a good telescope or pair of binoculars that you can attach a camera too .
Wat leeft er in deze extreme warmtebron in Ethiopië?
Wat leeft er in deze extreme warmtebron in Ethiopië?
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Voor het eerst is er in Ethiopië uitgebreid onderzoek gedaan naar één van meest extreme plekken op aarde: de Danakil Depressie.
Deze bijzondere plek in Ethiopië is zeer kleurrijk. Dat komt door de hoge zoutconcentraties. Daarnaast bubbelt er – van onder de grond – water omhoog dat qua temperatuur tegen het kookpunt zit. Chloor- en zwaveldampen vullen de lucht. “Het is een geweldige, maar onherbergzame plaats,” vertelt onderzoeker Felipe Gómez Gómez. “Overdag is het er 42 graden Celsius en ’s nachts 30 graden en de chloordampen branden in je luchtwegen.”
DE DANAKIL DEPRESSIE
De Danakil Depressie is een vulkanisch gebied in Ethiopië, nabij de grens met Eritrea. Het gebied ligt zo’n 100 meter onder zeeniveau en magma stroomt er heel dicht langs het oppervlak. Regenwater en zeewater van de nabijgelegen kust wordt door het magma opgewarmd en naar het oppervlak gedreven en brengen verschillende zouten met zich mee.
Expeditie Gómez Gómez kan het weten. Hij leidde heel recent een expeditie naar het onherbergzame gebied. “Er zijn maar heel weinig wetenschappelijke publicaties over het gebied en geen biologische beschrijvingen, dus we verkennen wetenschappelijk gezien echt een nieuw gebied.”
Astrobiologen De expeditie – die eerder deze maand plaatsvond – had een aantal doeleinden. Zo wilden de onderzoekers de geologie van het gebied in kaart brengen. Daarnaast wilden ze achterhalen of in dit gebied leven mogelijk is. “Elk micro-organisme dat hier leeft, zal een extreme microbe zijn die van enorm belang is voor astrobiologen (biologen die zich bezighouden met leven op andere hemellichamen, red.),” stelt Gómez Gómez.
Zwavel- en chloordampen boven het gebied. Afbeelding: Felipe Gomez / Europlanet 2020 RI.
Resultaten De resultaten van de expeditie worden op dit moment nog geanalyseerd, maar de onderzoekers hebben in ieder geval ontdekt dat de Danakil Depressie zeker drie extreme ecosystemen telt die ons mogelijk meer kunnen vertellen over hoe het leven op andere planeten en manen ontstaat.
Uit nader onderzoek zal moeten blijken welke materialen er in het gebied te vinden zijn, welke bacteriën er aanwezig zijn en welke plekken het meest interessant zijn voor astrobiologen. “We beginnen nu met het analyseren van onze monsters en plannen een vervolgreis voor over een paar maanden.”

Planet X-Binary System Enters Earth's Orbit, Government Suppresses Evidence
Planet X-Binary System Enters Earth's Orbit, Government Suppresses Evidence
With rampant earth and climate events occurring on a global scale, mankind is facing trying times. The events that are unfolding are the early signs of the tribulation that will occur on this planet, as the Earth enters into the orbit of the Planet X-binary star system.
The mainstream media and scientific institutions are working hard to avoid having the public see the “big picture” all at once, and are therefore consistently suppressing valuable scientific data and the evidence to substantiate the existence of a rogue planet system orbiting our solar system.
Below a detailed report of actual and on-going (natural and man-made) earth and climate events which occur on a global scale.
