Winston Churchill’s X-Files: Top secret UFO probe revealed
Winston Churchill’s X-Files: Top secret UFO probe revealed
SIR Winston Churchill ordered a top secret investigation into flying saucers – and may have covered-up evidence of aliens.
Declassified documents reveal Britain’s great wartime prime minister asked a special team of Whitehall mandarins – called the Flying Saucer Working Party – to discover “the truth” behind a worrying number of UFO sightings.
The official report explained away the numerous observations – which included strange objects over US capital Washington DC picked up by several military radar.
But, in a deathbed confession, Churchill’s personal bodyguard accused his boss of covering up a close encounter over Britain by the RAF itself.
GETTY
BELIEVER?: Sir Winston Churchill ordered an investigation into flying saucers
“What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to?”
Winston Churchill
Towards the end of World War 2 RAF pilots started reporting encounters with mysterious aircraft, which they called “foo fighters”.
Officials assumed they were secret German weapons but sightings continued after the end of the war – and even increased.
In July 1952, US Air Force fighter jets had to be scrambled on two consecutive weekends after radar detected several unidentified objects flying in a restricted zone over the White House – causing public panic.
In response, On July 28, 1952, Churchill sent his Secretary of State for Air Lord Cherwell a memo, requesting an urgent investigation.
NATIONAL ARCHIVES
CHURCHULL MEMORANDUM: The PM ordered a top secret prove
In the note – which became known as the “Churchill Memorandum” – he wrote: "What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to?
“What can it mean? What is the truth?
“Let me have a report at your convenience."
Lord Cherwell – a close friend and confidante of the PM, dubbed “Churchill’s Dog” – tasked the Flying Saucer Working Party with the probe.
BULLDOG: Churchill allegedly feared the existence of aliens could undermine the Christian faith
NATIONAL ARCHIVE
REPORT: The Flying Saucer Working Party explained away UFO sightings
The top secret group – set up two years earlier to look into UFO sightings – admitted it was impossible to rule out “an aircraft of extraterrestrial origin, developed by beings unknown to us on lines more advanced than anything we have thought of”.
But it said it was more likely the sightings were down to normal aircraft, balloons, birds or other natural phenomena, optical illusions, deliberate hoaxes – or “psychological delusions”.
That appeared to put the matter to bed.
Until – in 1999 – the grandson of a retired RAF officer wrote to the MoD, inquiring about an incident in which Churchill allegedly banned the reporting of a UFO encounter off the east coast of England.
The unnamed airman – who was Churchill’s personal bodyguard – alleged an RAF reconnaissance plane was returning from a mission over occupied Europe when it was shadowed by a “metallic UFO” off Cumbria.
The crew apparently took photographs of the object – which they said “hovered noiselessly” near the plane.
When the close encounter was brought up with Churchill he allegedly ordered the incident remain classified for at least half a century – and only released after a review by a future PM – in case it caused “mass panic” and destroy faith in God.
Churchill – a committed Christian – is said to have boomed: “This event should be immediately classified since it would create mass panic among the general population and destroy one's belief in the Church.”
All records of the incident – and Churchill’s orders for it to be covered up – have mysteriously disappeared, with the MoD claiming all UFO files from before 1967 have been destroyed.
But conspiracy theorists and UFO hunters suggest the British Establishment hid – and is still hiding – proof that aliens have visited Earth.
The MoD is rumoured to be preparing to release a new cache of classified UFO files this year.
Jason Chapman, who has written several books on the Churchill Memorandum, said: “The MoD has demonstrated in the past that it is capable of covering up a great many incidents.
“I believe it is possible that a former high ranking military official would have knowledge of UFOs.”
The 46-year-old, who works for British defence contractor BAE Systems, said: “Someone, somewhere knows something.
“It’s definitely not our world leaders – such information is way above the pay grade of the Prime Minister.
“Perhaps sat at the back of the House of Lords there’s a retired general, a relic left over from the Cold War, who has information which could prove there’s a cover-up.”
NASA scientists have issued a stark warning over an asteroid that could hit the Earth causing “immense suffering and death”.
The space agency is sending a probe to collect rock samples from the asteroid dubbed 'Bennu'.
Bennu can be seen every six years from Earth – but in 2135 it is expected to pass between us and the Moon.
That could tweak its orbit and set it on a direct course for our planet.
Experts fear that such a change will result in mass destruction, with Nasa investigator Dante Lauretta warning: “It may be destined to cause immense suffering and death."
The crash could result in mass destruction say experts
The professor of planetary science is leading the mission to collect rock samples from the asteroid, which he says could provide “vital data for future generations”.
The Osiris-Rex probe will arrive in 2018 then spend a year surveying Bennu, which orbits the sun at 63,000mph.
Scientists are hoping that information gathered on the trip will help them to work out how the asteroid’s course is affected by absorbing and radiating sunlight.

Alien-shaped skull from 2,000 years ago sparks fresh claims mankind was visited by extraterrestrial beings
Alien-shaped skull from 2,000 years ago sparks fresh claims mankind was visited by extraterrestrial beings
BYSCOTT CAMPBELL
Scientists discovered the remains in Russia and think they are thousands of years old
Archaeologists have found the remains of an ancient woman with an elongated skull sparking fresh claims that mankind was once visited by aliens .
When pictures of the humanoid figure with the egg-shaped skull were published, UFO watchers rushed to insist it was proof that aliens had once visited Earth.
Scientists however claimed that the discovered remains - found in Arkaim, in central Russia’s Chelyabinsk Oblast region - were around two thousand years old.
Experts were left wondering what the cause was for the bizarre shaped-skull, was it a new type of human?
CEN
Anthropologists will continue their work on the skeleton to probe its background
Archaeological museum head Maria Makurova, who analysed the remains, said: "Her skull was elongated because the tribe did so by tying up the heads of their children with rope. It was clearly a tradition in the tribe."
Ms Makurova added: "Most likely this is a woman who lived 1,800 to 2,000 years ago."
It is reported that anthropologists will continue working on the skeleton to determine the exact sex and age of the skeleton.
Apart from the peculiar skeleton, archaeologists have discovered an iron knife, ceramic whorls, small beads, as well as fragments of a ceramic jug.
It is reported that last year archaeologists had made a similar discovery.
On the territory of a burial ground, they found the well-preserved skeleton of a nomad with an elongated skull and the remains of two other men.
CEN
The skull from the ground is bizarrely elongated
All the discovered remains belonged to Sarmatians - an ancient tribe that moved on the territory of modern Ukraine, Kazakhstan and southern Russia.
It is believed that Sarmatians deliberately tied their skulls down, making it elongated in order to create a distinctive feature of the tribe.

Verdoezelde Winston Churchill bewijs voor het bestaan van aliens?
Verdoezelde Winston Churchill bewijs voor het bestaan van aliens?
Sir Winston Churchill opende een topgeheim onderzoek naar vliegende schotels en verdoezelde mogelijk bewijs voor het bestaan van aliens. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Star.
Uit geopenbaarde stukken blijkt dat de Britse oud-premier een speciaal team samenstelde – de Flying Saucer Working Party – om een verklaring te vinden voor het hoge aantal UFO-waarnemingen. Onder meer boven Washington DC waren vreemde objecten opgepikt door de radar.
Een beveiliger van Churchill onthulde op zijn sterfbed dat zijn baas informatie achterhield. Tegen het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog maakten twee RAF-piloten melding van mysterieuze vliegtuigen, die ze ‘foo fighters’ noemden.
Niet uitgesloten
UFO vastgelegd in Oregon (1927)
Men dacht dat het geheime Duitse wapens waren, maar de vreemde objecten werden ook na de oorlog nog in groten getale gezien. De nazi’s bleken te werken aan bizarre vliegtuigen die verdacht veel leken op vliegende schotels.
In juli 1952 moesten gevechtsvliegtuigen van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht twee keer in actie komen nadat ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten waren gespot boven het Witte Huis. Op 28 juli dat jaar stuurde Churchill een memo aan zijn wetenschapsadviseur Lord Cherwell, waarin hij aangaf dat er een onderzoek moest worden ingesteld.
De topgeheime groep gaf toe dat het niet kon worden uitgesloten dat de objecten een buitenaardse oorsprong hadden en waren gemaakt door onbekende wezens. Maar de groep dacht eerder aan normale vliegtuigen, ballonnen, vogels, optische illusies, hoaxes of hallucinaties.
Gevolgd
In 1999 schreef de kleinzoon van een gepensioneerde RAF-officier aan het Britse ministerie van Defensie dat Churchill een UFO-waarneming voor de oostkust van Engeland onder het tapijt had geveegd.
De officier, die werkzaam was geweest als beveiliger van Churchill, zei dat een verkenningsvliegtuig een missie had uitgevoerd boven bezet Europa en op de terugweg bij Cumbria werd gevolgd door een ‘metaalkleurige UFO’.
De bemanning maakte foto’s van het object, dat geruisloos naast het vliegtuig zweefde. Churchill vond dat het incident tenminste een halve eeuw geheim moest worden gehouden. Hij was bang voor massale paniek en dat mensen van hun geloof zouden vallen.
Verborgen
Alle stukken over het incident zijn op mysterieuze wijze verdwenen, aldus de krant. Het ministerie van Defensie claimt dat alle UFO-stukken van voor 1967 zijn vernietigd. Er wordt echter beweerd dat het Britse establishment bewijs voor buitenaards bezoek verborgen houdt.
Jason Chapman schreef meerdere boeken over de memo die Churchill verstuurde. Hij zei: “Het ministerie van Defensie heeft in het verleden al vele incidenten verdoezeld.”
De 46-jarige Chapman, die voor het Britse defensiebedrijf BAE Systems werkt, zei: “Het is duidelijk dat iemand iets weet. Het zijn zeker niet onze wereldleiders; dit soort informatie wordt niet gedeeld met de minister-president. Wellicht is er een gepensioneerde generaal die informatie heeft waaruit blijkt dat er sprake is van een cover-up.”
Een fenomeen waar nog steeds geen verklaring voor is en wat toch steeds weer overal opduikt is het raadsel van de kinderen met de pikzwarte ogen, de Black Eyed Kids (BEK's).
Nu we zijn aanbeland in een periode waarbij de grenzen tussen dimensies vervagen en de eindtijd schijnt te zijn aangebroken, begint er meer aandacht te komen voor deze bijzondere verschijningen.
Voor mensen die nieuw zijn op deze website of die niet weten waar het over gaat met BEK’s, een klein stukje uit een eerder artikel: Al jarenlang schrijven wij regelmatig artikelen over het fenomeen Black Eyed Kids (BEK), kinderen met roetzwarte ogen.
Gewoon lekker thuis op de bank en dan wordt er onverwacht op de deur geklopt. Buiten staan één of twee armoedig geklede kinderen.
Ze vragen of ze binnen mogen komen. De bewoners in de deuropening zijn eigenlijk alleen een beetje verbaasd, totdat de kinderen hun gezicht opheffen met daarin een paar pikzwarte ogen.
Dit is het spookachtige verhaal van de Kinderen met de Zwarte Ogen, ook BEK genoemd (Black Eyed Kids). Overal ter wereld worden ze waargenomen, vreemde kinderen met roetzwarte ogen die aan je deur kloppen en vragen om binnengelaten te worden. Op het moment dat mensen in deze pikzwarte ogen van de kinderen staren bekruipt hen een heel vreemd gevoel; geen prettig gevoel.
Sinds die tijd zijn de wereldwijde waarnemingen en publiciteit eigenlijk alleen maar toegenomen. Zodanig dat de verhalen nu zelfs in de mainstream media terecht zijn gekomen.
Zo stond er gisteren een artikel in het AD over een meisje met roetzwarte ogen dat regelmatig wordt waargenomen in Cannock Chase in het graafschap Staffordshire in Engeland.
Waarschijnlijk is hier zelfs sprake van de oudste waarneming van een BEK want het verhaal in Staffordshire gaat terug naar het begin van de jaren '80.
Toen deden zich de eerste waarnemingen voor van een ongeveer tienjarig meisje met koolzwarte ogen. Daarna werd het ongeveer 30 jaar lang stil tot enkele maanden geleden toen hetzelfde meisje opnieuw werd waargenomen.
Ook enkele dagen geleden was het weer raak:
Op zaterdag 13 september liep een echtpaar in een bos in Cannock Chase met hun hond. 'Zodra we het bos inliepen en de weg niet goed zichtbaar meer was, hoorden we het gegiechel van een klein meisje.' Het stel keek om zich heen om te kijken waar het geluid vandaan kwam. 'Tot onze verbazing verscheen er uit het niets een klein kind, niet groter dan 1 meter hoog, voor ons op het pad. We stopten met lopen, nadat we zagen dat haar ogen geen kleur hadden.' Niet alleen de ogen van het meisje waren opmerkelijk, volgens de man was ook de lichaamshouding niet menselijk. 'Haar hoofd was gekanteld naar één kant, waardoor het leek alsof ze was opgehangen.'
De meeste mensen ervaren echter BEK’s als kinderen die aan de deur kloppen en met een smoesje vragen om binnen gelaten te mogen worden.
Zelfs wanneer mensen op het punt staan om toe te geven, doen ze dat toch op het laatste moment niet omdat ze doodsbang worden wanneer ze in die donkere pikzwarte ogen kijken.
Ook in ons land komt dit verschijnsel voor en het begint er meer en meer op te lijken dat het hier wezens betreft die afkomstig zijn uit een andere dimensie.
Volgens de christelijke onderzoeker L.A. Marzuli die zich al lange tijd bezighoudt met het verschijnsel van Black Eyed Kids hebben we hier te maken met een soort satanische entiteiten die inderdaad afkomstig zijn uit een andere dimensie.
Hij brengt het verschijnen van dit soort kinderen die geen kinderen zijn volgens hem, eveneens in verband met de eindtijd waarin wij als mensheid ons schijnen te bevinden.
Volgens sommigen zijn deze kinderen het resultaat van een “broedprogramma” tussen de Nephilim, de gevallen engelen, en menselijke vrouwen. Het resultaat is dan een soort hybride met een menselijk lichaam waardoor er geen onderscheid is te maken met andere mensen, behalve wanneer ze ervoor kiezen om je een glimp te gunnen in hun pikzwarte ogen.
Klaarblijkelijk kunnen ze telepathisch met elkaar communiceren en zijn ze in staat om gedachten en emoties van mensen “te lezen”. Ook zijn er verhalen dat ze in een andere vorm kunnen veranderen en zelfs onzichtbaar worden.
Zij die in deze hybride theorie geloven, zeggen dat je ze in alle lagen van de maatschappij tegenkomt. Dat ze zich tussen gewone mensen verbergen en de satanische agenda dienen. Het plan is dan om in deze eindtijd zoveel mogelijk zielen richting satan te leiden. En dat, wanneer je een dergelijke Black Eyed Kid tegenkomt, je goed moet uitkijken, want ze hebben het op je ziel begrepen.
Wanneer je een leuke hiphop happening bezoekt en je kijkt op een bepaald moment naar de lucht dan zie je soms vreemde dingen.
Een man op een onbekende locatie legt met zijn mobiele telefoon iets vast dat hij omschrijft als een buitenaardse invasie en daarbij geeft hij misschien wel het mooiste commentaar ooit bij een UFO waarneming.
Via een lezer (dank!) kregen wij de volgende video opgestuurd.
De video is gepubliceerd door een website Worldstarhiphop die zich bezighoudt met allerlei zaken op dit gebied.
Klaarblijkelijk hebben zij de opname gekregen van een hiphop fan die ergens buiten op een festival is en opeens een vreemd licht in de lucht ontwaart.
Niet alleen dat, maar plotseling splitst het licht zich in meerdere bollen die dan vervolgens stil in de lucht blijven hangen.
Aan de echtheid van de opname hoeven we waarschijnlijk niet te twijfelen. Als je het commentaar van de man hoort, dan weet je dat het echt is wat hij ziet en dat dit niet wordt geacteerd.
De man is ervan overtuigd dat de aliens aan het landen zijn en ook al moet je niets hebben van UFO’s dan is het commentaar alleen al de moeite waard.
The extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) is the belief that UFOs are vehicles from other planets that contain intelligent life for the purpose of visiting earth.
This being the most popular view among the public has been losing ground among those that have given Ufology serious study and thought over a long period of time. This is the perception that Hollywood has romanticized and advanced to the public but is probably the least likely. The chances of intelligent life climbing into to some type of space vehicle and visiting earth are pretty slim. Back in the 1930's this was the main theory put forward, since then physics and science have advanced to the point of making this theory almost irrelevant. It now seems that this is far too a simple explanation and in fact does not explain all the strange things reported by witnesses. The universe is not really as complex as one might think but it is full of things and knowledge that man has yet to comprehend or experience so the simple Hollywood explanation is probably far from realistic.
2. Conspiracy Theory
A UFO conspiracy theory is any one of many often overlapping conspiracy theories which argue that evidence of the reality of UFOs is being suppressed by various governments around the world. The prevailing thought is that earth governments, especially the United States and to a lesser extent Russia are in communication & cooperation with ETs and even allowing for a certain number and type of alien abductions.
3. Portals
As of 2012 portals have moved from theoretical to reality. A NASA-sponsored researcher at the University of Iowa has developed a way for spacecraft to hunt down hidden magnetic portals in the vicinity of Earth. These portals link the magnetic field of our planet to that of the sun.The existence of portals would go a long way in explaining the erratic and very short duration of many UFO sightings. Could it be possible that UFOs are only seen as they "uncloak" just prior to entering or exiting a portal. Since we know that portals exist between planet earth and the sun than it only stands to reason that portals would exist between galaxies. This would explain why we have not found anybody living in our immediate neighborhood. Maybe there is an abundance of life in the universe but not in our Milky Way. It could be they are traversing the galaxies using these portals or hyperlinks.
4. Wormhole Theory
There is no observational evidence for wormholes, but on a theoretical level there are valid solutions to the equations of the theory of general relativity which containwormholes . Because of its robust theoretical strength, a wormhole is also known as one of the great physics metaphors for teaching general relativity.This sounds very Hollywood but the idea of bending distance and time has been around for years. In theory this works and as a practical matter it could explain the vast distances intelligent life would have to travel to visit earth. This moves the ETH "From Another Planet Theory" to a entirely new level.
5. Ancient Alien Theory
This theory is gaining in popularity and it proposes that extraterrestrial beings have been visiting earth since the advent of man. It puts forward that early man was in direct contact with these entities even benefiting from alien technology to build various pyramids and structures around the world. There is some strong evidence that man was much more advanced than originally thought or did have technological support from unknown resources. Proponents suggest that this contact influenced the development of human beings and that man's DNA may have an alien variant. Due to mans lack of sophistication, knowledge and technology these aliens were misidentified as religious deities or Gods and their technology were evidence of their divine status. Early writings and scriptures,such as, Vedas Scriptures, various San-script writings (from India, China, Pakistan) and even the Bible seem to confirm this hypothesis.
6. Biological Theory (Atmospheric Life Forms)
When you stop and give this aspect of the UFO equation some thought this really has to be true. We know that life is tenacious, persistent and procreates just about anywhere at anytime under almost any conditions. Why should this aspect of life be any different in space or in the greater universe. There are some laws that are truly universal,one of them is that life will find a way to flourish even in the most adverse and unexpected circumstances. To read about biological UFOs.
7. Quantum Physics
Quantum Physics has been around since the 1920 but we are only just beginning to understand what it really is and what it means to mankind. When the possibility of more than one universe was mention it was pretty radical stuff. Even today quantum physics is just on the fringe of mainstream discussion. It is always hard for us to believe in things that we cannot see or fully understand. While at a glance this may seem like just another strange theory, it contains many clues as to the fundamental nature of the universe and is more important then even relativity in the grand scheme of things . Furthermore, it describes the nature of the universe as being much different then the world we see.
Ronald Reagan (attempting to prove the existence of God) once said that he wanted to invite 20 atheist to the White House for a grand meal. After the meal was devoured he was going to ask his guest if they believed that there was a cook in the kitchen even though they never saw him/her. Sometimes you just have to believe in things that you cannot see, feel or touch.
Theories with more than one dimension of time have occasionally been advanced in physics, whether as a serious description of reality or just as a curious possibility. This theory is gaining momentum as more and more scientist believe in quantum physics. If you believe like many respected scientist have come to believe that there are multiverses (more than one universe) than it is not that much of a stretch to believe that beings could be traveling between universes (dimensions). This does necessarily mean that intelligent life forms are "time traveling" but they are simply traveling between dimensions, realms or universes.
9. Hollow Earth Theory
This theory proposes that the planet earth is either entirely hollow or
otherwise contains a substantial interior space. In the early 19th century an American eccentric, John Cleves Symmes (1779-1829), sought funding for an expedition to enter the earth through one of two 4,000-mile wide polar holes. Inside the Earth, he was convinced, a benevolent advanced civilization existed.
Though an object of derision to most people, some took him seriously, and the idea of a hollow Earth was championed in a number of books throughout the rest of the century and right into the next.Today, hollow-earthers believe flying saucers travel in and out of the polar holes. The people inside are descendants of Atlantis and its Pacific equivalent, Lemuria.
10. Earthlights, Ball Lightening Hypothesis
People have reported seeing ball lightning—a rare phenomenon that resembles a glowing sphere of electricity—for hundreds of years. Ball lightning often appears during thunderstorms and typically glows, spins, hisses, bounces, and floats. But scientists still can't explain what causes it, or even exactly what it is. (although in 2006 Brazil's physicist Antonia Pavoa believes he recreated it in a lab)
Related to the balls of light hypothesis is the earthlights or earthquake lights hypothesis which is based on the work of various independent researchers who have attempted to link UFO sightings where geological faults and geomagnetic fluctuations occur.
11. Man-Made UFOs / Back Engineered Technology
Governments and military have been attempting to emulate the performance of UFOs for decades. Pilots (especially since WWII) have reported that these craft have performed phenomenal feats and are capable of speeds that far exceeds our current technology. A good example of these efforts can be understood by reading about the AVRO Corporation which mysteriously and abruptly closed their doors in 1962. Follow this link for a list of the top 11 man-made UFOs that were made on earth.
Ever since the famous Roswell Incident of 1947 there has been serious speculation that the US military has attempted to back engineer UFO technology. In the event that the US military actually took possession of this type of technology it would have been only natural to do so. There have been claims by high ranking officials that other technologies were discovered at the same time which include, night vision capabilities, lasers, bullet proof vest to name just a few. Follow this link for a list of 12 technologies that were developed in the 1950's and 60's that may have had alien origin.
12. Other UFO Theories
TheoriesThere are other theories about where UFOs comes from and the reason we see them but they are too numerous to go into here. Some of those theories include.
Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis - The belief that extraterrestrial intelligence is not of our planet, but living among us.
Electromagnetic Hypothesis - Earths magnetic fields affect human perception (similar to earthlights).
Geophysical Locations - Certain geophysical locations have a strong effect on human consciousness (similar to earthlights).
Hoax - The theory that all UFOs are fake and perpetrated on the public intentionally, for a short video on how to spot a hoax UFO sighting.
Mass Delusion - For multiple witnesses, sometimes thousands to have a false belief bordering on psychotic, examples include Phoenix Lights and the Belgium Wave.
Misidentified Hypothesis - All UFOs are man made or natural.
Paranormal Hypothesis - Paranormal activity causes the human mind to materialize objects.
Phyccotronic Hypothesis - The belief that the UFO phenomena is the result of the manifestation of the human subconscious.
Psycho-Social Hypothesis - This theory says people are a product of their social environment and human behavior explains UFOs, such as, wishful thinking, hallucinations, misidentification etc. This is a one size fits all explanation.

The Vatican Unleashes Their Top Astronomer To Talk About Aliens
The Vatican Unleashes Their Top Astronomer To Talk About Aliens
Pope's astronomer to talk aliens

Aliens will be on the agenda when Great Barrier Island, population 939, brings the Pope's astronomer and other top scientists to a quirky public event.
The one-day festival, called "Is There Life out There?", follows a similar event last year that was organised by the island-based Awana Rural Women group and attracted around 12 per cent of Great Barrier's residents.
But the coming summit, planned for mid-September, would be a stellar step up, with the speakers list including Brother Guy Consolmagno, director of the Vatican Observatory, top US planetary scientist Dr Faith Vilas, and Gino Acevedo, the Weta Digital creative art director behind such films as Avatar and King Kong.
Also on the bill is Auckland University of Technology microbiologist Professor Steve Pointing, who has worked with Nasa in researching extreme lifeforms that can survive in polar cold and desert heat.
The group's president, Gendie Somerville-Ryan, chuckled when asked how these heavyweights had been pulled to such a remote spot.
"Well, it's just never good luck is it?"
The group was fortunate to have among its members Dr Ann Sprague, a retired University of Arizona planetary scientist who studied light data from Mars and already had connections with Dr Vilas and Dr Consolmagno.
"So we did have an in there, but then it's not just about having a contact -- it's that these people have to actually be willing to come, and they're even paying for themselves to come here," Somerville-Ryan said.
"Partly I think it was the attraction of people being able to come to a small isolated community, where we are desperate for knowledge, basically."
The Hauraki Gulf island, accessible only by plane or ferry, was well served with most amenities, "but mind-wise, it's a bit harder".
She was inspired by a festival that began in Canada 20 years ago, where a scientific topic was explored from different angles.
Last year's inaugural event focused on pandemics, and attracted a virologist, a Civil Defence expert and a science fiction writer.
"It was so successful that everyone just said, when's the next one?"
Again, the festival would address the topic from four perspectives: where did life come from, how does humanity fit into the universe, why do aliens appear the way they do in film, and how are we searching for other lifeforms?
"You can cover a lot of different angles, all with the purpose of providing education that meets a lot of peoples' interests."
The group also persued directors Sir Peter Jackson and James Cameron, but were unable to land them.
Still, she expected the talent on offer in September would more than satisfy locals.
"It's amazing. We're extremely privileged."
Along with the main panel discussion, the festival would involve breakout sessions and an art exhibition and book month event at the local library.
The Auckland Astronomical Society also plans to run an educational programme on the island during the week, giving local school students and adults the chance to see the stars through an eight-inch telescope.
Small island, big names
Brother Guy Consolmagno
• Brother Guy Consolmagno: an astronomer, Jesuit Brother, director of the Vatican Observatory and president of the Vatican Observatory Foundation. He'll discuss the interface between science and humanity, exploring such issues as our place in the universe and what it would mean to us if life was found out there.
• Dr Faith Vilas: Project scientist at the United States Planetary Science Institute, who directs a National Science Foundation programme in charge of solar system and exoplanets grants. She'll discuss the search for life in the stars, where we are looking, how we are looking and what we are looking for.
• Gino Acevedo: Creative art director and textures head of department at Weta Digital, who worked on Avatar, King Kong, The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings. He'll speak about the human imagination when it comes to aliens, discussing what makes aliens friendly or fierce and why we depict them as we do.
• Professor Steve Pointing: An Auckland University of Technology microbiologist who has worked with Nasa in researching extreme lifeforms that can survive in polar cold and desert heat. His research and fascination with astrobiology has given insights into how life might exist on other planets.

UFOs Are Monitoring Our Nuclear Facilities - New Film Bring Forward Hundreds of Witnesses
UFOs Are Monitoring Our Nuclear Facilities - New Film Bring Forward Hundreds of Witnesses
I-Team: New film claims UFOs monitored nuclear weapons
Officially, the U.S. government ended its study of UFOs in 1969 because -- it assured the public -- there is no proof the phenomena represents a threat to national security.
But what if these unknown aircraft showed an interest in our nuclear weapons? Multiple Military Witness Have Seen UFOs
A group of more than 150 military veterans, missile officers, and security personnel, including many who worked at the Nevada Test Site, say they've seen mystery intruders over nuclear facilities.
In the darkest days of the Cold War, atomic weapons were routinely exploded above ground at the Nevada Test Site, the most nuked placed on earth.
In 1955, 14 A-bombs were detonated as part of Operation Teapot, witnessed by thousands of military personnel in trenches, and by thousands of test site employees. But there were other observers as well.
"It was what we called flying saucers. They were pretty prevalent at the test site back then," said a former test site photographer.
At least a dozen former test site employees have told similar stories about unknown aircraft showing up hours or days after an atomic blast.
Forty Years of Fact Finding
Author and investigator Robert Hastings has spent more than 40 years locating and interviewing military veterans, missile officers, and others who worked in various parts of the atomic weapons program, more than 150 of them so far. They've all told the same story.
"That, in fact, UFOs have routinely monitored our nuclear weapons dating back decades and that, on occasion, apparently have interfered with the functionality of those weapons," Hastings said.
In addition to the eyewitness accounts, thousands of pages of formerly-classified documents have been released to buttress these stories.
The I-Team's own Freedom of Information Act request filed in 1992 produced a thick stack of documents from the Department of Energy, indicating UFO incidents over every major atomic weapons facility dating to the late 1940s, over Los Alamos national lab, where the bombs were designed, over Hanford, where the plutonium was processed, but DOE has no records of any official sightings over what later became the Nevada Test Site. Hastings however, has found plenty.
"Civilians living near the proving grounds observed UFOs sometimes flying in formations and reported them to the ....."
New UFO Documentary
This is a clip from a new documentary, the culmination of Hastings' years of research. The film includes chilling incidents where UFOs have not only infiltrated restricted airspace over nuclear missile bases, but on occasion, have disabled ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) and put the military on high alert. In one dramatic incident from the film, military photographers using telescopic lenses watched a UFO disable a warhead used in a missile test fired from Vandenberg.
"Flying over the Pacific suddenly this domed disc came into frame, circled the warhead, which is flying at 8 or 10,000 miles-per-hour, shot four beams of light at it, whereupon the dummy warhead fell into the Pacific Ocean and the UFO left the vicinity," Hastings said.
UFO incidents at the Nevada Test Site became so routine, according to a former security officer named Walter Levine, that teams were assigned the job of specifically looking for them from inside a specially-equipped building at Indians Springs Air Force Base now known as Creech. Levine told Hastings:
Disc Shaped, Square Shaped UFOs
"They were all luminous, they were disc-shaped, some of them were square-shaped. We were to pick up a telephone in this little shack. There was no dial tone. A voice would just come on. We would read off all these coordinates, the direction of the object, etcetera, then when we wrote this stuff down on a piece of paper, we were to burn the paper in a trash can in the shack," Hastings said.
The government ended atomic weapons tests years ago, but Nevada incidents continue. Former security officers at Area 2 at Nellis Air Force Base, for years a storage facility for up to 200 nuclear warheads, have reported multiple intrusions by unknown aircraft from the late 1990s through 2004. What is the Motivation of the UFO Occupants
Who's behind these incidents and why?
"Who knows what their motivation is?" Hastings said.
Similar incidents have been reported in the UK, India, Pakistan and other nuclear powers. In the 1990s, the I-Team traveled to Russia twice and obtained classified documents about frightening incidentsthere.

Area 51, Facts, Secrets, Things You Did Not Know About
Area 51, Facts, Secrets, Things You Did Not Know About
AREA 51 FACTS & SECRETS
With all the secrecy shrouding Area 51, it's time for some light to be shed. Learn more about the nicknames, entertainment, food, spy planes, and rumors surrounding this infamous site. On August 15, 2013 the CIA finally acknowledged the existence of Area 51. After repeated freedom of information request made by George Washington University the CIA lifted the veil of secrecy on Area 51. On December 8, 2013 President Obama makes an off hand comment about Area 51, becoming the first President to publicly acknowledge its existence. This does not mean they are talking openly about UFOs and military secrets but it does open the door for lawsuits and additional freedom of information request from the public.
The name ‘Area 51’ derives from its marking on 1950’s Nevada Test Site maps. Today, the official name of Area 51 is Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3, or AFFTC Det. 3 for short. For years even our own government denied its existence until Soviet pictures confirmed what many knew all along. The base did exist. The facility was originally designed for the testing of U-2 spy planes, and ultimately Stealth technology would be born there. The secret site has grown to many times its original size. The USAF took over command of Area 51, and its airspace in 1970.
Area 51 was also referred to as Groom Lake (the name of the dry lake Area 51 was built around), Paradise Ranch (a half-serious way to entice employees to accept positions at the remote, rustic base), Watertown (the official name of the test site, given in 1956), and Dreamland (after an Edgar Allan Poe poem).
Area 51’s nickname DREAMLAND was allegedly derived from an Edgar Allan Poe poem by the same name. It admonishes that “the traveler, traveling through it, may not-dare not openly view it; Never its mysteries are exposed, to the weak human eye unclosed.”
The first known use of the area was the construction in 1941 of an auxiliary airfield for the West Coast Air Corps Training Center at Las Vegas Air Field. Known as Indian Springs Airfield Auxiliary No. 1, it consisted of two dirt 5000' runways.
Under President Dwight Eisenhower the Groom Lake facility was put in the hands of the CIA for Project Aquatone, for the development of the Lockheed U-2 reconnaissance aircraft in April 1955.
This mysterious fortress and its surrounding grounds are strictly off-limits. What secrets are kept inside this highly guarded facility? The rumors abound. Yes, there have been pictures of craft doing amazing maneuvers over these guarded skies and pictures and video smuggled from inside have become legend. These smuggled articles show living and dead aliens, spacecraft of futuristic design, but still the government denies these claims.
Helen Frost, whose husband Robert died in 1988 from the fumes, filed a lawsuit against the government in 1996 but the case was dismissed by the judge because the government could neither confirm nor deny the allegations, and it was also stated that the base is exempt from any environmental laws.
During the 70's and 80's the workers at Area 51 were exposed to jet fuel toxins like JP7. Supposedly old computer parts were also burned in trenches. The workers were ordered to go into the trenches and mix up the material and were only allowed to wear protection up to their waist.
The A12 Oxcart
When Area 51 was chosen as the testing site for the A-12 OXCART, a new, 8,500-foot runway had to be built. So as not to draw attention, contractors worked under cover of night.
Flying at 2,200 mph, it took OXCART pilot 186 miles just to make a U-turn. To accommodate the plane, an additional 38,400 acres of land around the base had to be withdrawn from public access and the restricted airspace expanded to create a 440-square mile box.
Early on, the only entertainment at Area 51 consisted of a single cement tennis court and a small bowling alley. There was no television, and radio signals only made it through the surrounding mountains in the evening.
The Area 51 mess hall sometimes served lobsters and oysters. Once a week it was steak night.
There is a sliver of truth to the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was staged at Area 51. Various space equipment – including land rovers and life support systems – were tested by the astronauts at the adjoining nuclear testing grounds.
Area 51 has not been spared by the downturn in the economy, it is estimated that there are 1600 to 2000 employees working at the military facility involving at least a dozen defense contractors as of 2013. This is down by 200-400 employees since 2012.
A recent poll showed that 70%+ of Americans believe that UFOs are real.
After an increase in UFO sightings in 1952, the CIA concluded that “there is a remote possibility that they may be interplanetary aircraft,” and that it was necessary to investigate each sighting.
90% of reported UFO sightings could be easily debunked, while the other 10% were “a number of incredible reports from credible observers.”
Over half of all UFO reports from the late 1950s through the 1960s were accounted for by manned reconnaissance flights (namely the U-2) over the United States, virtually all originating from Area 51.
The A-12 OXCART required special fuel in order to fly at such extreme speeds and heights. The fuel was made to withstand extremely high temperatures and would not ignite even if someone threw a match into a barrel full of it.
The OXCART cruised at 2200 miles per hour, but because the plane was secret it was kept out of official speed competitions.
The A-12 OXCART consisted of more than 90% titanium. It was the world’s first titanium plane.
An A-12 spy plane was used when the USS Pueblo was captured by North Korea to photograph the area and determine the ship's location.
The OXCART's engines acted as vacuum cleaners, sucking up any debris left on the runway. So personnel would vacuum the runway before each test flight.
The Air Force has acknowledged the existence of the Nellis Range Complex near the Groom Dry Lake for many years now. There are a variety of activities, some of which are classified, throughout the complex.
The range is used for the testing of technologies and systems training for operations critical to the effectiveness of U.S. military forces and the security of the United States.
Some specific activities and operations conducted on the Nellis Range, both past and present, remain CLASSIFIED and cannot be discussed.
The A12 - Spy Plane could travel at 2200 MPH
Suspended upside down, a titanium A-12 spy-plane prototype is prepped for radar testing at Area 51 in the late 1950s.
But pushing the limits came with risks—and led to the catastrophic 1963 crash of an A-12 based out of Area 51.
After a rash of declassification's and the acknowledgement of the existence of Area 51, details of Cold War workings at the Nevada base, are coming to light—including images of an A-12 crash and its cover-up pictured publicly for the first time in May.
Remnants of a crashed A-12 spy plane—including two engines and the shattered rear fuselage—litter the ground near Wendover, Utah, in a 1963 picture recently declassified by the CIA and published here for the first time.
After pilot Ken Collins had parachuted to the ground, he was stunned to be greeted by three civilians in a pickup, who offered to give him a ride to the wreckage of his plane. Instead, Collins got them to give him a ride in the opposite direction, by telling them the plane had a nuclear weapon on board—a prearranged cover story to keep the Area 51 craft a secret.
Nearly undetectable to radar, the A-12 could fly at 2,200 miles (3,540 kilometers) an hour—fast enough to cross the continental U.S. in 70 minutes. From 90,000 feet (27,400 meters), the plane's cameras could capture foot-long (0.3-meter-long) objects on the ground below.
You won't find it on any geological or aeronautical maps and yet like a place in the Twilight Zone, flights to it leave Las Vegas' McCarran Airport every day. Some say alien aircraft are stored there and reverse-engineered to create new aircraft and weapons, or it's the site of genetic testing or other diabolical plots. Others say it's just a very secret aircraft development site. No matter, what it is, Area 51 remains shrouded in mystery.

Aliens and UFOs May Have a Hand on the Creation of the Pyramid Discovered in Antarctica
Aliens and UFOs May Have a Hand on the Creation of the Pyramid Discovered in Antarctica
UFO sightings in Antarctica are believed to involve aliens flying around its old pyramid bases. Enthusiasts say the remote landmass, up to three miles of ice, buried various mysteries. Conspiracy theorists say aliens lived an ice-free Antarctica long time ago, and many believe so because of a significant number of strange activities surrounding the icy landmass.
YouTube channel UFOvni2012 has been featuring an alleged alien-made ancient pyramid. Researchers discovered strange magnetic anomalies beneath the ice too. These unknown signals increase speculations that the continent holds signs or even old life itself. There were rumors top officials and Nazi knew that aliens made the old pyramid.
Aside from the pyramid bases, other apparent signs of aliens are several UFO sightingsreported around the area. Some researchers believe that these sightings could be aliens visiting their ancient bases. An image that made the rounds on the internet shows evidence of military presence as tanks that seem to guard an alien crash site can be revealed in the zoomed-in image. Of course, there’s doubt of the picture, but former officials have come forward confirming there’s alien activity in the area.
One Navy officer, who chose not to be named, claimed he was in Antarctica between 1983 and 1997. His job is to fly cargo and rescue missions. The officer said that he saw some UFOs during his flights. However, the greatest controversy was those researchers that went missing. He believes that they made contact with aliens.
Einstein once described his friend Michele Besso as “the best sounding board in Europe” for scientific ideas. They attended university together in Zurich; later they were colleagues at the patent office in Bern. When Besso died in the spring of 1955, Einstein—knowing that his own time was also running out—wrote a now-famous letter to Besso’s family. “Now he has departed this strange world a little ahead of me,” Einstein wrote of his friend’s passing. “That signifies nothing. For us believing physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
Einstein’s statement was not merely an attempt at consolation. Many physicists argue that Einstein’s position is implied by the two pillars of modern physics: Einstein’s masterpiece, the general theory of relativity, and the Standard Model of particle physics. The laws that underlie these theories are time-symmetric—that is, the physics they describe is the same, regardless of whether the variable called “time” increases or decreases. Moreover, they say nothing at all about the point we call “now”—a special moment (or so it appears) for us, but seemingly undefined when we talk about the universe at large. The resulting timeless cosmos is sometimes called a “block universe”—a static block of space-time in which any flow of time, or passage through it, must presumably be a mental construct or other illusion.
George Ellis, a cosmologist at the University of Cape Town, listens to a presentation at the Time in Cosmology conferenceMany physicists have made peace with the idea of a block universe, arguing that the task of the physicist is to describe how the universe appears from the point of view of individual observers. To understand the distinction between past, present and future, you have to “plunge into this block universe and ask: ‘How is an observer perceiving time?’” said Andreas Albrecht, a physicist at the University of California, Davis, and one of the founders of the theory of cosmic inflation.Others vehemently disagree, arguing that the task of physics is to explain not just how time appears to pass, but why. For them, the universe is not static. The passage of time is physical. “I’m sick and tired of this block universe,” said Avshalom Elitzur, a physicist and philosopher formerly of Bar-Ilan University. “I don’t think that next Thursday has the same footing as this Thursday. The future does not exist. It does not! Ontologically, it’s not there.”Last month, about 60 physicists, along with a handful of philosophers and researchers from other branches of science, gathered at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, to debate this question at the Time in Cosmology conference. The conference was co-organized by the physicist Lee Smolin, an outspoken critic of the block-universe idea (among other topics). His position is spelled out for a lay audience in Time Reborn and in a more technical work, The Singular Universe and the Reality of Time, co-authored with the philosopher Roberto Mangabeira Unger, who was also a co-organizer of the conference. In the latter work, mirroring Elitzur’s sentiments about the future’s lack of concreteness, Smolin wrote: “The future is not now real and there can be no definite facts of the matter about the future.” What is real is “the process by which future events are generated out of present events,” he said at the conference.Andreas Albrecht, a physicist at the University of California, Davis, presents his work on the nature of time. (Philip Cheung for Quanta Magazine)Those in attendance wrestled with several questions: the distinction between past, present, and future; why time appears to move in only one direction; and whether time is fundamental or emergent. Most of those issues, not surprisingly, remained unresolved. But for four days, participants listened attentively to the latest proposals for tackling these questions—and, especially, to the ways in which we might reconcile our perception of time’s passage with a static, seemingly timeless universe.
* * *
There are a few things that everyone agrees on. The directionality that we observe in the macroscopic world is very real: Teacups shatter but do not spontaneously reassemble; eggs can be scrambled but not unscrambled. Entropy—a measure of the disorder in a system—always increases, a fact encoded in the second law of thermodynamics. As the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann understood in the 19th century, the second law explains why events are more likely to evolve in one direction rather than another. It accounts for the arrow of time.
But things get trickier when we step back and ask why we happen to live in a universe where such a law holds. “What Boltzmann truly explained is why the entropy of the universe will be larger tomorrow than it is today,” said Sean Carroll, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology, as we sat in a hotel bar after the second day of presentations. “But if that was all you knew, you’d also say that the entropy of the universe was probably larger yesterday than today— because all the underlying dynamics are completely symmetric with respect to time.” That is, if entropy is ultimately based on the underlying laws of the universe, and those laws are the same going forward and backward, then entropy is just as likely to increase going backward in time. But no one believes that entropy actually works that way. Scrambled eggs always come after whole eggs, never the other way around.
To make sense of this, physicists have proposed that the universe began in a very special, low-entropy state. In this view, which the Columbia University philosopher of physics David Albert named the “past hypothesis,” entropy increases because the Big Bang happened to produce an exceptionally low-entropy universe. There was nowhere to go but up. The past hypothesis implies that every time we cook an egg, we’re taking advantage of events that happened nearly 14 billion years ago. “What you need the Big Bang to explain is: ‘Why were there ever unbroken eggs?’” Carroll said.
Some physicists are more troubled than others by the past hypothesis. Taking things we don’t understand about the physics of today’s universe and saying the answer can be found in the Big Bang could be seen, perhaps, as passing the buck —or as sweeping our problems under the carpet. Every time we invoke initial conditions, “the pile of things under the rug gets bigger,” said Marina Cortes, a cosmologist at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh and a co-organizer of the conference.
To Smolin, the past hypothesis feels more like an admission of failure than a useful step forward. As he puts it in The Singular Universe: “The fact to be explained is why the universe, even 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, has not reached equilibrium, which is by definition the most probable state, and it hardly suffices to explain this by asserting that the universe started in an even less probable state than the present one.”
Other physicists, however, point out that it’s normal to develop theories that can describe a system given certain initial conditions. A theory needn’t strive to explain those conditions.
Another set of physicists think that the past hypothesis, while better than nothing, is more likely to be a placeholder than a final answer. Perhaps, if we’re lucky, it will point the way to something deeper. “Many people say that the past hypothesis is just a fact, and there isn’t any underlying way to explain it. I don’t rule out that possibility,” Carroll said. “To me, the past hypothesis is a clue to help us develop a more comprehensive view of the universe.”
Jenann Ismael, a philosopher at the University of Arizona, argues that the block universe holds within it the explanation for our experience of time’s apparent passage. *(Philip Cheung for Quanta Magazine)
------
Can the arrow of time be understood without invoking the past hypothesis? Some physicists argue that gravity—not thermodynamics—aims time’s arrow. In this view, gravity causes matter to clump together, defining an arrow of time that aligns itself with growth of complexity, said Tim Koslowski, a physicist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (he described the idea in a 2014 paper co-authored by the British physicist Julian Barbour and Flavio Mercati, a physicist at Perimeter). Koslowski and his colleagues developed simple models of universes made up of 1,000 point-like particles, subject only to Newton’s law of gravitation, and found that there will always be a moment of maximum density and minimum complexity. As one moves away from that point, in either direction, complexity increases. Naturally, we—complex creatures capable of making observations—can only evolve at some distance from the minimum. Still, wherever we happen to find ourselves in the history of the universe, we can point to an era of less complexity and call it the past, Koslowski said. The models are globally time-symmetric, but every observer will experience a local arrow of time. It’s significant that the low-entropy starting point isn’t an add-on to the model. Rather, it emerges naturally from it. “Gravity essentially eliminates the need for a past hypothesis,” Koslowski said.
The idea that time moves in more than one direction, and that we just happen to inhabit a section of the cosmos with a single, locally defined arrow of time, isn’t new. Back in 2004, Carroll, along with his graduate student Jennifer Chen, put forward a similar proposal based on eternal inflation, a relatively well known model of the beginning of the universe. Carroll sees the work of Koslowski and his colleagues as a useful step, especially since they worked out the mathematical details of their model (he and Chen did not). Still, he has some concerns. For example, he said it’s not clear that gravity plays as important a role as their paper claims. “If you just had particles in empty space, you’d get exactly the same qualitative behavior,” he said.
Increasing complexity, Koslowski said, has one crucial side effect: It leads to the formation of certain arrangements of matter that maintain their structure over time. These structures can store information; Koslowski calls them “records.” Gravity is the first and primary force that makes record formation possible; other processes then give rise to everything from fossils and tree rings to written documents. What all of these entities have in common is that they contain information about some earlier state of the universe. I asked Koslowski if memories stored in brains are another kind of record. Yes, he said. “Ideally we would be able to build ever more complex models, and come eventually to the memory in my phone, the memory in my brain, in history books.” A more complex universe contains more records than a less complex universe, and this, Koslowski said, is why we remember the past but not the future.
But perhaps time is even more fundamental than this. For George Ellis, a cosmologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, time is a more basic entity, one that can be understood by picturing the block universe as itself evolving. In his “evolving block universe”model, the universe is a growing volume of space-time. The surface of this volume can be thought of as the present moment. The surface represents the instant where “the indefiniteness of the future changes to the definiteness of the past,” as he described it. “Space-time itself is growing as time passes.” One can discern the direction of time by looking at which part of the universe is fixed (the past) and which is changing (the future). Although some colleagues disagree, Ellis stresses that the model is a modification, not a radical overhaul, of the standard view. “This is a block universe with dynamics covered by the general-relativity field equations—absolutely standard—but with a future boundary that is the ever-changing present,” he said. In this view, while the past is fixed and unchangeable, the future is open. The model “obviously represents the passing of time in a more satisfactory way than the usual block universe,” he said.

Unlike the traditional block view, Ellis’s picture appears to describe a universe with an open future—seemingly in conflict with a law-governed universe in which past physical states dictate future states. (Although quantum uncertainty, as Ellis pointed out, may be enough to sink such a deterministic view.) At the conference, someone asked Ellis if, given enough information about the physics of a sphere of a certain radius centered on the British Midlands in early June, one could have predicted the result of the Brexit vote. “Not using physics,” Ellis replied. For that, he said, we’d need a better understanding of how minds work.
Another approach that aims to reconcile the apparent passage of time with the block universe goes by the name of causal set theory. First developed in the 1980s as an approach to quantum gravity by the physicist Rafael Sorkin—who was also at the conference—the theory is based on the idea that space-time is discrete rather than continuous. In this view, although the universe appears continuous at the macroscopic level, if we could peer down to the so-called Planck scale (distances of about 10-35meters) we’d discover that the universe is made up of elementary units or “atoms” of space-time. The atoms form what mathematicians call a “partially ordered set”—an array in which each element is linked to an adjacent element in a particular sequence. The number of these atoms (estimated to be a whopping 10240 in the visible universe) gives rise to the volume of space-time, while their sequence gives rise to time. According to the theory, new space-time atoms are continuously coming into existence. Fay Dowker, a physicist at Imperial College London, referred to this at the conference as “accretive time.” She invited everyone to think of space-time as accreting new space-time atoms in way roughly analogous to a seabed depositing new layers of sediment over time. General relativity yields only a block, but causal sets seem to allow a “becoming,” she said. “The block universe is a static thing—a static picture of the world—whereas this process of becoming is dynamical.” In this view, the passage of time is a fundamental rather than an emergent feature of the cosmos. (Causal set theory has made at least one successful prediction about the universe, Dowker pointed out, having been used to estimate the value of the cosmological constant based only on the space-time volume of the universe.)
********
The challenge, she said, is to frame this first-person experience within the static block offered by physics.
In the face of these competing models, many thinkers seem to have stopped worrying and learned to love (or at least tolerate) the block universe.
Perhaps the strongest statement made at the conference in favor of the block universe’s compatibility with everyday experience came from the philosopher Jenann Ismael of the University of Arizona. The way Ismael sees it, the block universe, properly understood, holds within it the explanation for our experience of time’s apparent passage. A careful look at conventional physics, supplemented by what we’ve learned in recent decades from cognitive science and psychology, can recover “the flow, the whoosh, of experience,” she said. In this view, time is not an illusion—in fact, we experience it directly. She cited studies that show that each moment we experience represents a finite interval of time. In other words, we don’t infer the flow of time; it’s part of the experience itself. The challenge, she said, is to frame this first-person experience within the static block offered by physics—to examine “how the world looks from the evolving frame of reference of an embedded perceiver” whose history is represented by a curve within the space-time of the block universe.
Ismael’s presentation drew a mixed response. Carroll said he agreed with everything she had said; Elitzur said he “wanted to scream” during her talk. (He later clarified: “If I bang my head against the wall, it’s because I hate the future.”) An objection voiced many times during the conference was that the block universe seems to imply, in some important way, that the future already exists, yet statements about, say, next Thursday’s weather are neither true nor false. For some, this seems like an insurmountable problem with the block-universe view. Ismael had heard these objections many times before. Future events exist, she said, they just don’t exist now. “The block universe is not a changing picture,” she said.“It’s a picture of change.” Things happen when they happen. “This is a moment—and I know everybody here is going to hate this—but physics could do with some philosophy,” she said. “There’s a long history of discussion about the truth-values of future contingent statements—and it really has nothing to do with the experience of time.” And for those who wanted to read more? “I recommend Aristotle,” she said.

In the latter work, mirroring Elitzur’s sentiments about the future’s lack of concreteness, Smolin wrote: “The future is not now real and there can be no definite facts of the matter about the future.” What is real is “the process by which future events are generated out of present events,” he said at the conference.Andreas Albrecht, a physicist at the University of California, Davis, presents his work on the nature of time. (Philip Cheung for Quanta Magazine)Those in attendance wrestled with several questions: the distinction between past, present, and future; why time appears to move in only one direction; and whether time is fundamental or emergent. Most of those issues, not surprisingly, remained unresolved. But for four days, participants listened attentively to the latest proposals for tackling these questions—and, especially, to the ways in which we might reconcile our perception of time’s passage with a static, seemingly timeless universe.

There are a few things that everyone agrees on. The directionality that we observe in the macroscopic world is very real: Teacups shatter but do not spontaneously reassemble; eggs can be scrambled but not unscrambled. Entropy—a measure of the disorder in a system—always increases, a fact encoded in the second law of thermodynamics. As the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann understood in the 19th century, the second law explains why events are more likely to evolve in one direction rather than another. It accounts for the arrow of time.
But things get trickier when we step back and ask why we happen to live in a universe where such a law holds. “What Boltzmann truly explained is why the entropy of the universe will be larger tomorrow than it is today,” said Sean Carroll, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology, as we sat in a hotel bar after the second day of presentations. “But if that was all you knew, you’d also say that the entropy of the universe was probably larger yesterday than today— because all the underlying dynamics are completely symmetric with respect to time.” That is, if entropy is ultimately based on the underlying laws of the universe, and those laws are the same going forward and backward, then entropy is just as likely to increase going backward in time. But no one believes that entropy actually works that way. Scrambled eggs always come after whole eggs, never the other way around.
To make sense of this, physicists have proposed that the universe began in a very special, low-entropy state. In this view, which the Columbia University philosopher of physics David Albert named the “past hypothesis,” entropy increases because the Big Bang happened to produce an exceptionally low-entropy universe. There was nowhere to go but up. The past hypothesis implies that every time we cook an egg, we’re taking advantage of events that happened nearly 14 billion years ago. “What you need the Big Bang to explain is: ‘Why were there ever unbroken eggs?’” Carroll said.
Some physicists are more troubled than others by the past hypothesis. Taking things we don’t understand about the physics of today’s universe and saying the answer can be found in the Big Bang could be seen, perhaps, as passing the buck —or as sweeping our problems under the carpet. Every time we invoke initial conditions, “the pile of things under the rug gets bigger,” said Marina Cortes, a cosmologist at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh and a co-organizer of the conference.
To Smolin, the past hypothesis feels more like an admission of failure than a useful step forward. As he puts it in The Singular Universe: “The fact to be explained is why the universe, even 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, has not reached equilibrium, which is by definition the most probable state, and it hardly suffices to explain this by asserting that the universe started in an even less probable state than the present one.”
Other physicists, however, point out that it’s normal to develop theories that can describe a system given certain initial conditions. A theory needn’t strive to explain those conditions.
Another set of physicists think that the past hypothesis, while better than nothing, is more likely to be a placeholder than a final answer. Perhaps, if we’re lucky, it will point the way to something deeper. “Many people say that the past hypothesis is just a fact, and there isn’t any underlying way to explain it. I don’t rule out that possibility,” Carroll said. “To me, the past hypothesis is a clue to help us develop a more comprehensive view of the universe.”
Jenann Ismael, a philosopher at the University of Arizona, argues that the block universe holds within it the explanation for our experience of time’s apparent passage. *(Philip Cheung for Quanta Magazine)
------
Can the arrow of time be understood without invoking the past hypothesis? Some physicists argue that gravity—not thermodynamics—aims time’s arrow. In this view, gravity causes matter to clump together, defining an arrow of time that aligns itself with growth of complexity, said Tim Koslowski, a physicist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (he described the idea in a 2014 paper co-authored by the British physicist Julian Barbour and Flavio Mercati, a physicist at Perimeter). Koslowski and his colleagues developed simple models of universes made up of 1,000 point-like particles, subject only to Newton’s law of gravitation, and found that there will always be a moment of maximum density and minimum complexity. As one moves away from that point, in either direction, complexity increases. Naturally, we—complex creatures capable of making observations—can only evolve at some distance from the minimum. Still, wherever we happen to find ourselves in the history of the universe, we can point to an era of less complexity and call it the past, Koslowski said. The models are globally time-symmetric, but every observer will experience a local arrow of time. It’s significant that the low-entropy starting point isn’t an add-on to the model. Rather, it emerges naturally from it. “Gravity essentially eliminates the need for a past hypothesis,” Koslowski said.
The idea that time moves in more than one direction, and that we just happen to inhabit a section of the cosmos with a single, locally defined arrow of time, isn’t new. Back in 2004, Carroll, along with his graduate student Jennifer Chen, put forward a similar proposal based on eternal inflation, a relatively well known model of the beginning of the universe. Carroll sees the work of Koslowski and his colleagues as a useful step, especially since they worked out the mathematical details of their model (he and Chen did not). Still, he has some concerns. For example, he said it’s not clear that gravity plays as important a role as their paper claims. “If you just had particles in empty space, you’d get exactly the same qualitative behavior,” he said.
Increasing complexity, Koslowski said, has one crucial side effect: It leads to the formation of certain arrangements of matter that maintain their structure over time. These structures can store information; Koslowski calls them “records.” Gravity is the first and primary force that makes record formation possible; other processes then give rise to everything from fossils and tree rings to written documents. What all of these entities have in common is that they contain information about some earlier state of the universe. I asked Koslowski if memories stored in brains are another kind of record. Yes, he said. “Ideally we would be able to build ever more complex models, and come eventually to the memory in my phone, the memory in my brain, in history books.” A more complex universe contains more records than a less complex universe, and this, Koslowski said, is why we remember the past but not the future.
But perhaps time is even more fundamental than this. For George Ellis, a cosmologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, time is a more basic entity, one that can be understood by picturing the block universe as itself evolving. In his “evolving block universe”model, the universe is a growing volume of space-time. The surface of this volume can be thought of as the present moment. The surface represents the instant where “the indefiniteness of the future changes to the definiteness of the past,” as he described it. “Space-time itself is growing as time passes.” One can discern the direction of time by looking at which part of the universe is fixed (the past) and which is changing (the future). Although some colleagues disagree, Ellis stresses that the model is a modification, not a radical overhaul, of the standard view. “This is a block universe with dynamics covered by the general-relativity field equations—absolutely standard—but with a future boundary that is the ever-changing present,” he said. In this view, while the past is fixed and unchangeable, the future is open. The model “obviously represents the passing of time in a more satisfactory way than the usual block universe,” he said.
The physicist Tim Koslowski listens to the discussion at the Time in Cosmology conference. (Philip Cheung for Quanta Magazine)
Unlike the traditional block view, Ellis’s picture appears to describe a universe with an open future—seemingly in conflict with a law-governed universe in which past physical states dictate future states. (Although quantum uncertainty, as Ellis pointed out, may be enough to sink such a deterministic view.) At the conference, someone asked Ellis if, given enough information about the physics of a sphere of a certain radius centered on the British Midlands in early June, one could have predicted the result of the Brexit vote. “Not using physics,” Ellis replied. For that, he said, we’d need a better understanding of how minds work.
Another approach that aims to reconcile the apparent passage of time with the block universe goes by the name of causal set theory. First developed in the 1980s as an approach to quantum gravity by the physicist Rafael Sorkin—who was also at the conference—the theory is based on the idea that space-time is discrete rather than continuous. In this view, although the universe appears continuous at the macroscopic level, if we could peer down to the so-called Planck scale (distances of about 10-35meters) we’d discover that the universe is made up of elementary units or “atoms” of space-time. The atoms form what mathematicians call a “partially ordered set”—an array in which each element is linked to an adjacent element in a particular sequence. The number of these atoms (estimated to be a whopping 10240 in the visible universe) gives rise to the volume of space-time, while their sequence gives rise to time. According to the theory, new space-time atoms are continuously coming into existence. Fay Dowker, a physicist at Imperial College London, referred to this at the conference as “accretive time.” She invited everyone to think of space-time as accreting new space-time atoms in way roughly analogous to a seabed depositing new layers of sediment over time. General relativity yields only a block, but causal sets seem to allow a “becoming,” she said. “The block universe is a static thing—a static picture of the world—whereas this process of becoming is dynamical.” In this view, the passage of time is a fundamental rather than an emergent feature of the cosmos. (Causal set theory has made at least one successful prediction about the universe, Dowker pointed out, having been used to estimate the value of the cosmological constant based only on the space-time volume of the universe.)
********
The challenge, she said, is to frame this first-person experience within the static block offered by physics.
In the face of these competing models, many thinkers seem to have stopped worrying and learned to love (or at least tolerate) the block universe.
Perhaps the strongest statement made at the conference in favor of the block universe’s compatibility with everyday experience came from the philosopher Jenann Ismael of the University of Arizona. The way Ismael sees it, the block universe, properly understood, holds within it the explanation for our experience of time’s apparent passage. A careful look at conventional physics, supplemented by what we’ve learned in recent decades from cognitive science and psychology, can recover “the flow, the whoosh, of experience,” she said. In this view, time is not an illusion—in fact, we experience it directly. She cited studies that show that each moment we experience represents a finite interval of time. In other words, we don’t infer the flow of time; it’s part of the experience itself. The challenge, she said, is to frame this first-person experience within the static block offered by physics—to examine “how the world looks from the evolving frame of reference of an embedded perceiver” whose history is represented by a curve within the space-time of the block universe.
Ismael’s presentation drew a mixed response. Carroll said he agreed with everything she had said; Elitzur said he “wanted to scream” during her talk. (He later clarified: “If I bang my head against the wall, it’s because I hate the future.”) An objection voiced many times during the conference was that the block universe seems to imply, in some important way, that the future already exists, yet statements about, say, next Thursday’s weather are neither true nor false. For some, this seems like an insurmountable problem with the block-universe view. Ismael had heard these objections many times before. Future events exist, she said, they just don’t exist now. “The block universe is not a changing picture,” she said.“It’s a picture of change.” Things happen when they happen. “This is a moment—and I know everybody here is going to hate this—but physics could do with some philosophy,” she said. “There’s a long history of discussion about the truth-values of future contingent statements—and it really has nothing to do with the experience of time.” And for those who wanted to read more? “I recommend Aristotle,” she said.

Gullies on Mars Likely Not Carved by Liquid Water, NASA Says
Gullies on Mars Likely Not Carved by Liquid Water, NASA Says
By Calla Cofield, Space.com Staff Writer

Gullies that lace the surface of Mars appear similar to those carved out on Earth by flowing water — but a new a deep look at the Red Planet turned up no evidence that the life-giving liquid is the cause of the Martian features.
The surface of Mars appears to light up in pastel shades of pink, purple, blue and green in a new image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). The colors show the chemical composition of a region that includes a handful of gullies streaking across the surface like veins.
While some scientists had theorized that the gullies form in a fashion similar to gullies on Earth — typically via a process involving liquid water — new composition maps of more than 100 gully sites provide no evidence of "abundant liquid water or its byproducts" in the shallow channels, according to a statement from NASA. [The Search for Water on Mars in Photos]
Scientists have a few clues to work with when trying to unravel how the Martian gullies form — and from there, learn something about the relatively recent geologic activity on the planet. First, the Martian gullies are "a widespread and common feature" on Mars, mostly between the 30- and 50-degree latitudes in both hemispheres, and generally occur "on slopes that face toward the poles," according to the NASA statement.
Previous observations by MRO's powerful High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera showed seasonal activity in gullies, Jorge Núñez of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, and lead author of the new study, said in the statement.

Seasonal variations in surface features typically suggest that whatever is responsible for the features might be undergoing changes associated with ups and downs in temperature — such as water melting and freezing. For example, the seasonal appearance of dark streaks on the slopes of some Martian hillsides, known as recurring slope lineae (RSL), appears to be caused by the flow of very salty liquid water on the surface of Mars today.
Mars' gullies are different than the RSL, but, according to Nunez, some researchers had thought that liquid water might also be the mechanism forming the gullies. However, he noted that the "main mechanism" that the HiRISE researchers suspected was the freezing and thawing of carbon dioxide frost. (Evidence has been mounting in recent years to suggest that water is not the cause of the gullies' formation, including the results of a study from 2014 and another from 2010.)
To figure out which mechanism was at work, scientists want to look at the minerals present in the gullies.
"On Earth and on Mars, we know that the presence of phyllosilicates — clays — or other hydrated minerals indicates formation in liquid water," Núñez said in the statement.
Because different chemical elements absorb light differently, it's possible to "read" light coming from an object and see the different elements present therein with an instrument called a spectrometer. So the team aimed another MRO instrument at the gullies, the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM). (HiRISE captures optical images, and thus couldn't provide any evidence about the minerals in or around the gullies.)
"In our study, we found no evidence for clays or other hydrated minerals in most of the gullies we studied," Núñez said. He noted that the clays they did see appeared to be ancient deposits that were exposed in the formation of the gullies, "rather than altered in more recent flowing water."
"These gullies are carving into the terrain and exposing clays that likely formed billions of years ago when liquid water was more stable on the Martian surface," he said.
The new study doesn't show conclusively that carbon dioxide frost is the culprit in forming the gullies, but it adds support to models that demonstrate that hypothesis.
The CRISM observation and analysis by Núñez and colleagues has been published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Mystery Solved: Black Holes Twist Space-Time Like Taffy
Mystery Solved: Black Holes Twist Space-Time Like Taffy

A 30-year-old mystery about black holes has just been solved.
The story starts in the 1980s, when astronomers found that small (stellar-mass) black holes emit X-ray light that flickers in a curious pattern. At first, this flickering occurs every few seconds; however, the time between each flicker shortens over the course of a few months, eventually stopping completely.
This "quasi-periodic oscillation" (QPO) was thought to be a result of a phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity — that any object with enough mass, like a black hole, will twist space-time as it spins. Later, scientists calculated that these gravitational vortices will cause the orbits of particles around the black hole to change orientation, leading to the QPO phenomenon. [Images: Black Holes of the Universe]
"It is a bit like twisting a spoon in honey: Imagine that the honey is space, and anything embedded in the honey will be 'dragged' around by the twisting spoon," Adam Ingram, lead author of a new study describing the findings, said in a statement. "In reality, this means that anything orbiting a spinning object will have its motion affected," added Ingram, of the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
Though the observed QPO periods were close to those predicted by this idea, there had not been enough evidence to nail down the connection — until now.
Black Hole : How Well Do You Know Nature's Weirdest Creations?
Black holes are so bizarre, they sound unreal. Yet astronomers have found good evidence they exist. Test your knowledge of these wacky wonders.
Observations by the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton spacecraft and NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) satellite show that matter orbiting close to a black hole moves in paths that wobble in a characteristic way — one that reveals the gravity-twisting behavior of black holes, the researchers said.
The two satellites observed the X-ray light emitted by iron atoms in one black hole's accretion disk — the flat collection of dust and gas spiraling into the object. The accretion disk is receding on one side and approaching on the other, relative to the spacecraft; the light emitted is therefore shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum on the approaching side, and red-shifted on the other. (This is similar to the way sound waves emitted by an ambulance's siren are shifted as the vehicle approaches and then passes an observer.)
These shifts revealed the twisting motion of the accretion disk, which was caused by the black hole's powerful gravity, the researchers said.
"We have spent a lot of time trying to find smoking-gun evidence for this behavior," Ingram said.
The new study was published in May in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Somewhere, in the deepest reaches of the cosmos, far from the safe confines of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, lies a monster. Slowly, inevitably, it is pulling. Over the course of billions of years, it draws us and everything near us closer to it. The only force that acts over such immense distance scales and through cosmic periods of time is gravity, so whatever it is, it's massive and unrelenting.
We call it the Great Attractor, and until recently, its true nature has been a complete mystery. Note that it's still a mystery, just not a complete one.
The Great Attractor was first discovered in the 1970s when astronomers made detailed maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (the light left over from the early universe), and noticed that it was slightly (and "slightly" here means less than one one-hundredth of a degree Fahrenheit) warmer on one side of the Milky Way than the other — implying that the galaxy was moving through space at the brisk clip of about 370 miles per second (600 km/s).
Even though astronomers could measure the rapid velocity, they couldn't explain its origin.
First, why is there a mystery in the first place? Astronomers are fantastically good at looking at stuff in space — it is, after all, their one job. So you'd think by now someone would've pointed a telescope in the direction of our motion and … well, figured it out. But there's a problem: whatever the Great Attractor is, it lies in the direction of the constellation Centaurus, and the disk of our own Milky Way cuts right through our view that way. Our galaxy is full of junk — stars, gas, dust, more gas — and all that junk blocks the light from the more distant universe.
So we're fantastically good at mapping most of the large-scale structure of the universe, except where we're forced to look through our own galaxy. Ever the dramatic bunch, astronomers have called this region the Zone of Avoidance.
And dang it, the Great Attractor sits right back there, deep in the Zone, difficult to characterize. Thankfully, that's been starting to change, as X-ray and radio astronomers have peered through the murky depths of the Milky Way and begun a hazy, uncertain sketch of that hitherto unknown patch of universe.
Go Big and go home
To understand what's going on with the Great Attractor, we need to look at the big picture. And I mean Big: The biggest picture of all. Beyond our Milky Way galaxy is our nearest decent-size galactic neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy. A little over 2.5 million light-years away, it's practically down the street at the scales I'm talking about.
The Milky Way, Andromeda, the Triangulum Galaxy, and a few dozen hangers-on form the Local Group, a gravitationally bound clump about 10 million light-years across.
The Next Big Thing down the way is the Virgo Cluster, the Downtown of our local patch of universe: More than 1,300 galaxies packed into a dense clump only 65 million light-years away. The Virgo Cluster is gravitationally bound, too, which means about what you think it would mean: Its member galaxies tend to hang out near each other, tied up by their mutual gravity.
Going bigger than that and it gets a little fuzzy, in terms of defining extra-galactic structures. There are enormous collections of galaxies called "superclusters," and for a long time they were loosely defined as "Eh, it's larger than a cluster, but smaller than a universe." They got sweet names, too, based on what constellation we looked through to map out the structure, or named after old astronomers: Virgo Supercluster, Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster, Shapley Supercluster, etc. That definition worked fine until we needed to start getting serious work done; e.g., figuring out what the heck is going on with the Great Attractor.
Go with the Flow
We live in a hierarchical universe. That is, over the past 13-and-change billion years, matter has been accumulating into small clumps, which merged into bigger clumps, which merged into even bigger clumps. The party came to a stop, however, about 5 billion years ago when dark energy started to dominate … but that's the subject of another article.
Our universe has already formed galaxies, groups and clusters. Our own Local Group is condensing, with the Milky Way and Andromeda headed for a collision in about 5 billion years. The Local Group itself, along with some other groups and smaller clusters, are cruising along the gravitational highways to the downtown Virgo Cluster, which is at the center of the conveniently-named Virgo Supercluster.
And all the nearby stuff — including the Milky Way, Andromeda, the Virgo Cluster, and environs — are heading toward the Great Attractor. A combination of more sophisticated (read: any) surveys within the Zone of Avoidance, and a more sophisticated (read: any) understanding of what exactly is a "supercluster," have begun to unravel the mystery of the Great Attractor.
Instead of just being a "large blob of galaxies," studies of the velocities of galaxies in our local neighborhood of the universe have led to a better working definition of "supercluster:" a volume of space where all the galaxies in that space are "flowing" to a common center. And this definition has reworked our understanding of the local universe. The Virgo Supercluster isn't an isolated object, but just an arm (to be fair, a tremendously huge arm) of an even larger structure: the Laniakea Supercluster.
The Not-So-Great Attractor
Looking at super-galactic structures through the lens of flows of matter, it's easy to see what's going on with the Great Attractor. We live in a hierarchical universe, with small structures assembling like galactic Lego blocks into larger ones. The Milky Way and Andromeda are headed toward the center of the Local Group as it condenses. All the stuff in the Virgo Supercluster is falling toward its center: the Virgo Cluster.
And all the stuff in the Laniakea Supercluster is falling toward its center, currently occupied by the Norma Cluster, which is the accumulation of all the gas and galaxies that already beat us there.
So the Great Attractor isn't really a thing, but a place: the focal point of our patch of the universe, the end result of a process set in motion more than 13 billion years ago, and the natural result of the flows and buildup of matter in our universe. How did this process begin? Well, that, too, is another article….
And before I go: The Great Attractor won't stay that Great for long. In fact, we'll never reach it. Before we do, dark energy will rip the Norma Cluster away from us. Clusters will stay like they are, but superclusters will never live up to their names. So take comfort in that: we have nothing to fear from the Great Attractor.
A very young star has been discovered by itself, far from any star forming region. It is so isolated that astronomers are confounded as to how it came to be.
By collecting data from several observatories, researchers have realized that the star, called CX330, is going through an outburst. This energetic phase in the star's youth has heated the gas and dust surrounding it, making it glow in infrared radiation.
The fact that its outburst has been detected puts it in an already rare collection of stellar objects, but what makes CX330 unique is its apparent solitude. Frankly, the star shouldn't exist and in earlier observations it wasn't clear if it was even a star.
"We tried various interpretations for it, and the only one that makes sense is that this rapidly growing young star is forming in the middle of nowhere," said Chris Britt, of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, in a statement. Britt is lead author of a study focusing on CX330published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
WATCH VIDEO: The Youngest Galaxy and Oldest Star
By comparing infrared observations by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and Spitzer Space Telescope, Britt's team found the star had increased in brightness 100-fold between 2007 and 2010. Only around a dozen stars exhibiting this type of rapid outburst have been recorded, but all were found in dense star-forming regions inhabited by other young stars. These stellar nurseries are hothouses for star formation.
But CX330 is 1,000 light-years from the nearest star forming region, leaving the researchers to speculate how it ended up by itself in an apparently empty void.
Could it be possible that the star was formed in a star formation region, only for it to be gravitationally slingshot out of the nest? This is highly unlikely as astronomers estimate the star is only a million years old and it is still consuming the gas and dust surrounding it. All lines of inquiry point to the fact the star was born where it is now and hasn't migrated far.
Another idea is that it might not be alone at all and it's with a group of other very faint stars, though there is no observational clues of their existence.
Regardless of its origins, we are very lucky to see the energetic outburst of a young star as this phase is predicted to last only a few years -- a fraction of a moment when considering the millions to billions of years life cycle of a star.
The last observations of CX330 were taken in 2015 and astronomers hope to check in with the baby star again soon to see whether it is still having a tantrum. By doing so, they hope to refine stellar evolution models. One model of star birth suggests singular stars can be born alone, far from the frenzied star nurseries where many stellar embryos compete for material to grow, sparked by turbulence in an interstellar cloud. If CX330 really is a stellar loner, it could be a unique example of this fascinating star formation model.

Filer’s Files #31 – 2016 New UFO Revelations - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Dr. Linus Pauling and UFOs, William Tompkins Aviation Designer, Vril UFO Disc Developer Maria Orsic, Majestic 12 Document, Brazilian Air Force UFO Document Release, and 2016 UFO Sighting Map.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, Eire, Georgia, Macedonia, Portugal, Russia, Sri Lanka, 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.

Dr. Linus Pauling and UFOs
Anthony Bragalia writes, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling -physicist, chemist and controversial advocate of Vitamin C therapy- was a secret UFO researcher who authored intriguing confidential studies on the flying saucer phenomena. Recently acquired information also reveals that Pauling may have provided his technical expertise to Battelle Memorial Institute in the study of Roswell-like memory metal in the years after the crash!
Emerging research reveals that Pauling was intensely studying UFOs and that he had a special relationship with Battelle- a research and development contractor known to have been active in UFO study through its work with the USAF’s Project Blue Book. Battelle has also been implicated in the study of the Roswell UFO crash debris “memory metal.” Pauling was invited by Clyde Williams, the Director of Battelle at the time of the Roswell crash, to discuss “intermetallics” – a class of materials which are the basis for “shape memory” alloys!
A truly multi-disciplinary scientist, Pauling is distinguished as one of only four individuals to have won multiple Nobel prizes. He is the only scientist to have ever been awarded his prizes without sharing it with another recipient. Named in the list of the “20 Greatest Scientists of All Time” by New Scientist magazine, Pauling held a PhD in Mathematical Physics and Physical Chemistry from Caltech.
Francis Crick, the co-inventor of the DNA model, was a close Pauling associate. Crick acknowledged Dr. Pauling as one of the world’s “greatest minds” and to be “The Father of Molecular Biology.” Crick was also the architect of the theory of “Directed Panspermia” which holds that the “seeds of life” were spread through the Universe through extraterrestrial action. Crick -like his friend Linus Pauling- shared deep interest in intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe.
PAULING’S VITAMIN C DISCOVERY
Pauling is most well-known by the general public for his advocacy of high doses of Vitamin C to help lessen the duration and severity of the common cold. Today millions consume the vitamin for the prevention and treatment of colds and in the improvement of health.
Pauling personally consumed 3 grams of Vitamin C every day of his adult life. He died in 1994 at the age of 93. Pauling believed that an adjunctive cancer therapy could be found in mega-doses of Vitamin C delivered by IV. In 2007, the National Academy of Science reported that cancer survival rates were substantially improved with IV-delivered Vitamin C. Phase I Clinical Trials are expected to begin shortly.
Holding Top Secret clearance during WW II, Pauling advanced military research and development and devised many inventions for our defense departments including life-safety systems, explosives and missile propellants. However Pauling -with his belief in ET clearly established, as shown in the next section of this article- then abruptly eschewed his military R&D work in favor of becoming a vocal peace advocate. He championed nuclear disarmament and opposed the militarization of outer space. UFO STUDIES Pauling’s lifelong dedication to scientific discovery included the intense study of the flying saucer phenomena and of extraterrestrial intelligence. He believed it to be likely that we have been visited by beings capable of interplanetary travel. Within documents that were located in the Special Collections library at Oregon State University (where Pauling earned a degree in Chemical Engineering and where his papers are now archived) are found portions of UFO studies by Pauling that he composed in July of 1966. Pauling examines several aspects of UFOs and offers ideas about the phenomena that were advanced many years later by others. He explores the possibility that extraterrestrial beings have been in contact with the earth over a long period of time.” He also alluded to the idea of Panspermia- a concept advanced by his friend, Francis Crick the Nobel Prize winner who discovered DNA, years before Crick did so. Pauling envisions “the extraterrestrial origin of man and some or all of the organisms on earth.” When Pauling died, it was discovered that he had maintained a massive library of well-worn UFO books.
Pauling was a close friend of Clyde Williams, the Executive Director of Battelle Memorial Institute in the 1940s and 1950s. Williams and Pauling shared a unique research interest in “intermetallics” which are especially complex metal alloys that are associated with “shape memory” or the ability to “morph.” Battelle was contracted by Wright Patterson Air Force Base to conduct scientific analysis on the UFO phenomenon in support of the Air Force’s Project Grudge (later Project Blue Book.).” Williams wanted to tap Pauling’s expertise in exotic metals to determine the structure of intermetallic compounds in the UFO crash at Roswell.” Dr. Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for “research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application in the elucidation of complex substances.” In fact by the 1950s, Pauling was thought to be the premier materials chemist in the entire world. Intermetallics constitute a then-novel (and highly unusual) class of materials. They are mostly compounds of metals whose crystal structures are different from those of constituent metals. The best known representatives of intermetallics are the shape memory alloys (SMA’s.) Shape memory metal was reported as a “morphing material” found at the reported UFO crashes near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. The best known of these shape-recovery materials is Nitinol. Nitinol has been historically traced by this author as having its origins in Battelle studies that were contracted by Wright Patterson AFB, where the crash material was reportedly flown to.
Buried within the pages of Pauling’s personal copy of the 1966 bestseller Flying Saucers: Serious Business is a copy of a letter from Pauling to the President of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology that concerns UFO study; and includes the statement, “There are such difficult cases as the rancher near Roswell, New Mexico.” Linus Pauling -one of the most brilliant scientists in all history. But perhaps it is his work on UFOs and exotic metals – and his subsequent promotion of global and interplanetary peace- that may well prove to be his greatest legacy. Special Thanks to Tony Bragalia
William Tompkins Aviation Designer
William Tompkins with Admiral Larry Marsh
Aviation designer William (Bill) Tompkins appears to be one of the most highly prized employees of the government’s secret space program for his ability to conceptualize the big picture placing him at the highest levels of the alien-human interface. Dr Bob Woods introduced me to Bill saying that Bill worked at Lockheed when he was there and had excess to some of the most extraordinary projects. Bill claims Navy Admirals are encouraging him to tell his classified story.
Bill had high level clearances in the Navy, at Douglas Aviation, Northrop., JPL and NASA.
He claims in his book, “Selected by Extraterrestrials,” there is an alien ET threat. He helped the Navy to push into space to counter these threats through the development of fantastic near and deep space battle groups and bases in this solar system and on other solar systems across the universe in alliance with friendly ETs. Bill and the female Nordic ETs played a very large role in conceptualizing and presenting this to the Naval High Command which essentially runs NASA. Bill claims we are working with Nordic ETs who are helping us copy what the Nordic ETs already have operating across part of our Galaxy. Bill worked with the help of mostly female Nordic friendly ETs he worked with within aviation companies. He claims not all ETs are friendly; the Draco Reptilians are aggressive and plan to take over the Earth. We are being hindered by unfriendly Reptilian-Grey groups also infiltrating the secret programs. He claims the Reptilians have become masters of manipulation of earth human minds. The other races like the Nordic humans intervene both physically and telepathically to help earth humans develop technologically and spiritually in order carry their own weight in these complex extraterrestrial struggles. Friendly ETs are spread rather thin across this sector of the Milky Way and are bringing primitive technological worlds up to speed to help fight the Reptilians. Bill helped build space ships and a space weapons programs to defend Earth. Tompkins claims he is being encouraged to reveal the struggle in outer space because more space assets are needed to carry the fight to the Reptilians, or at least have them realize a fight with the combined ET and Earth’s forces would be too costly.
UFO Disc Developer Maria Orsic
Maria Orsic, also known as Maria Orschitsch was a famous medium who became the leader of the Vril Gesellschaft Society. She was born in Vienna and in 1919, Maria moved to Munich to be with her fiancé where she was in contact with the Thule Gesellschaft. She soon created her own circle of friends: the “Alldeutsche Gesellschaft für Metaphysik”, official name of the Vril Society. Allegedly Maria Orsic communicated with Extraterrestrials in the 1920s and was provided early UFO technology.
Vril Society was composed of young ladies, which were against the arising fashion of short hair-styles for women. Maria had blond long hair in long horse tails, a very uncommon hairstyle at that time. This became a distinctive characteristic in all the women who integrated into the Vril Society. They believed that their long hair acted as cosmic antennae to receive alien communication from beyond. For identification, Vril members wore a disk.
n December 1919 a small group of persons from Thule, Vril and DHvSS (Men of the black stone) rented a small forester’s lodge in the vicinity of Berchtesgaden. Germany where they met, accompanied by Maria Orsic and another medium who is only known as Sigrun. Maria claimed to have received transmissions in a secret German Templar script containing technical data for the construction of a flying machine. Vril documents mention these telepathic messages had their origin from a planet near Aldebaran. She had two piles of papers: one with the Templar script, the other in the ancient Sumerian eastern language. Sigrun a lady from the Vril helped translate the language and decipher the strange mental images of a circular flight machine.
Because of the financing difficulties it took three years until the flying machine project started taking shape. By 1922, parts for the machine began arriving independently from various industrial sources paid in full by Thule and Vril.
Maria Orsic was contacted by “the Sumi, dwellers of a distant world, which orbits the brightest star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus the Bull”. Aldebaran is an orange giant star located about 65 light years away and is the fourteenth brightest star in the nighttime sky. The name Aldebaran means “the Follower”, presumably because it rises near and soon after the Pleiades. According to the voice, the Sumi were a humanoid race who had briefly colonized Earth 500 million years ago. The ruins of ancient Larsa, Shurrupak and Nippur in Iraq had been built by them. Those of them who survived the great flood of the Deluge of Noah’s Ark had become the ancestors of the Aryan race. The Vril group built the discs as instructed and one model is shown..
Vril 1 Jaeger Hunter Disc.
She was active in the German national movement to annex Austria with the German Reich. It is likely the SS discovered her new Vril craft and encouraged her to provide help for them.
Tomkins working under Admiral Rico Botta who had a series of spies who spent months in Nazi Germany collecting intelligence data discovered information about Maria and the SS Disc craft. The Navy spies claimrd the alien Reptilians provided Nazi Germany with some 17 disc shaped craft and important technology. Not much is known why or how this arrangement occurred.
LaterBill worked with NASA’s Director Dr. Debus the Penemede German rocket genius who was brought to the United States as part of Paperclip after World War II. Bill thought Dr. Debus was aware of the Stargate concept and the dimensional portal or gateway to Aldebaran where Maria Orsic was said to have gone in 1945. At the end of World War II some 9,000 German scientists and engineers were brought to the US, while Russia captured a similar number. With the help of the Germans and ETs our space program has been greatly enhanced.
ill claims several types of ET aliens are on Earth and the negative ones can manipulate our minds, while positive ones through love, compassion help to counter the psychological threats to our inner and outer worlds.

Majestic 12
According to Dr Robert Wood and Ryan Wood, the burned document, is an original carbon with an Eagle watermark characteristic of government work, but so far forensic laboratories have been unable to trace it…. Although no dated is given, its content directly suggests the month of September in the early 1960s.
The burned document dates from the Kennedy era and has the characteristics of a government document. If its contents are accurate, it provides smoking gun evidence of a direct link between Kennedy’s efforts to gain access to UFO information and his assassination. Burned Memo
The nine-page “burned” memo, stamped TOP SECRET/MJ-12, is named because it was snatched from a fire before being destroyed, which is why it is discolored and disintegrating. Unlike many of the Majestic documents, this one is an original carbon with an Eagle watermark characteristic of government work, but so far forensic laboratories have been unable to trace it.
The memo is from the Director of Central Intelligence (MJ-1) to MJ-2, MJ-3, MJ-7, in reference to Project MAJESTIC and JEHOVAH, Project EVIRO, Project PARASITE, and Project PARHELION. Although no dated is given, its content directly suggests the month of September. The year is estimated to be in the early 1960s and is still under investigation. The purpose is to have the team review a new set of directives and recommend changes that can be agreed on. Of note is the statement:
“As you must know LANCER [code word for JFK] has made some inquiries regarding our activities which we cannot allow.”
The eight tabs of directives are fascinating:(A) President’s EYES ONLY, (B) “NEED-TO-KNOW” (C) DoD 5200.1(D) Project BLUE BOOK (E) Freedom of Information (F) PSYOP (G) BW (biological weapons) (H) Project ENVIRONMENT
Particularly chilling is the Biological Weapons directive, which states: “Designated MJ projects should be held in readiness to perform SPIKE and HOUSE CLEANING operations in major population centers in the event conventional methods are not satisfactory. Specialists from MK-ULTRA and ARTICHOKE are hereby activated to conduct DOMESTIC.”
Logically, this paragraph refers to UFO retrieval operations. The authenticity of these directives seems beyond question: original onionskin papers, proper forensically verified red ink of the time period, and rare “CI” (counter intelligence) stamps. From Website
Brazilian Air Force UFO Documents Release
Gabrielle Pickard writes, “The newly released information tracks an incident that occurred in Brazil in 1986 when around 20 UFOs were sighted by numerous airplanes and by ground radar.”
According to the reports, the UFOs were sighted by at least six aircraft and by ground radar on the night of May 19, 1986, flying over several states in the south east of Brazil.
Unidentified radar returns were tracked by the Integrated Air Defense and Air Traffic Control Center in Brasilia, as well as by Sao Paulo Airport. Three Mirage jet fighters and two F-5E planes were said to have been scrambled from in the states of Sao Paulo and Goias.
As UFO Evidence states, the incident was “discussed openly” by Brazil’s high ranking government officials (2). The case was reported by the president of the Brazil-owned oil firm Petrobras, Ozires Silva. Reports say that Silva had been flying on a jet plane when he and the pilot sighted and pursued the UFOs from almost half an hour.
Media Attention
The case got a lot of attention in the media in Brazil. Several days after the sighting, a press conference was given at the Ministry of Aeronautics. At the time, General Otavio Moreira Lima, the Minister of Aeronautics, described the incident in the press conference, stating:
Between 20:00 hrs. (5/19) and 01:00 hrs. (5/20) 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 neither clouds nor conventional aircraft in the region. The sky was clear. Radar doesn’t have optical illusions.”
The Air Force admitted that they did not have the technical operational conditions to explain the incident but announced that a commission would be made in order to study the incident.
What is interesting is that the Aeronautics Commission report was never released. However, accounts of the radar controllers and air force pilots that witnessed the UFOs flying over north-eastern skies of Brazil in 1986 were widely published in the media.
Classified Info
30 years later, Brazil decided to publish the formerly classified information. On Reddit, a video of a report of the incident that shows the dialogue between the pilot and the controller as they were chasing the UFO caused quite a stir amongst readers (3).
One Reddit reader asked “Why is this nowhere else on the entire Internet?”
Another was quick to note that the report was shown on the popular Brazilian news show ‘Fanastico, which only covers the most important news of the week, proving that the story about the UFO incident is being taken seriously.
Top Secret Writers is keen to keep our readers up to date about secret, classified UFO documents, and why governments remain intent on keeping them hidden from the public domain (4).
The fact that Brazil has gone ahead and declassified such information 30 years after the UFO incident took place could possibly suggest that there may be some new clues as to what the Brazilian government knows about the mysterious UFO incident that took place over Brazil in 1986.

Filer’s Files #31 – 2016 New UFO Revelations - PART II
Sightings in the United States
California Lights
Hayward Bay Area— Basically around 9:00 pm on June 21, 2016, I left my house with my girlfriend to go to the store. As I was driving down the street we noticed two red lights just static glowing in the middle of the sky. They were bright two red glowing orbs. As we pulled out the camera the lights turned green and they blinked repeatedly. The lights took off to the east and stop again in the middle of the sky. From my vantage point I was directly below it before it turned green.
I did not see anything solid from which the lights could be emanating from. The video shows a descending object moving from left to right. Shortly after the video the light continued down southeast and disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Cylinder
Daytona Beach — My wife and I were at a hotel on July 20, 2016. The hotel is on SR A1A about 2.0 miles south of US 92. The time was 8:52 PM and it had just turned dark. We were sitting in the lawn area overlooking the ocean when we heard several people in a parking lot next to us to the south speaking loudly and pointing to a blinking object in the sky. The object was about ½ mile south of our position, at about a 30–45 degree angle from our position, hovering over the beach at maybe 500’ (?). From our position it looked small maybe about the size of a penny held at arm’s length.
It looked like a sphere with a ring around it, kind of like the planet Saturn. It had a lot of lights on it many different colors. Very bright white/silver, green maybe others, not sure. The white/silver lights were constant and there were others blinking. There was a violet one on the bottom that blinked a lot slower than the others, maybe once every second. The others were faster.
The object hovered for about a minute that we observed. It then slowly turned west then south arcing slightly as it did. It then headed south slowly then VERY quickly picked up speed and continued south down the beach until we lost sight of it.
My wife noted there was a small plane approaching the object from the north and when the plane got really close, the object turned and quickly sped away. As my wife said “it hauled butt”. I had difficulty getting my phone camera to focus in the dark but managed to snap one picture as soon as I saw it, then started video recording for 30 seconds or so. I turned off video so I could snap another picture. When I turned it off the object had started its turn. I turned the video back on until I lost sight of it. We are not sure what this was. It was definitely not a plane or helicopter. It couldn’t have been a drone as the drone would have to have been a big one, at least 10-15 feet in diameter. No other logical explanation to what we saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maryland Orb
Berlin — At a cookout on the Assateague Island Beach facing south an hour or so after sunset on July 7, 2016. Mars, Saturn and Antares form a loose triangle near the middle of the photo.
There was lots of the light pollution from the moon and it was still early. There were some cars and campers lights in the distance at the bottom of the photo. In the upper right of the photo is the anomaly. I am submitting two photos with a blowup of one. These photos were taken ten minutes apart, showing the anomaly in different parts of the sky. I have additional photos as well.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Massachusetts Orbs
Springfield – On July 20, 2016, I observed ten orange lights in the western sky. They were in two rows. They flickered slightly and were hovering in one spot.
I stopped my car and watched them for about two minutes. After about 1.5 minutes eight of them started to move slowly to the right (north) and disappeared.
The remaining two in the lower row remained and hovered for another 30 seconds and then slowly moved to the right and disappeared.
They were at a 60 degree angle up at 9:30 PM EDT. The air was still. I took a video, but it is blurry and short. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website Note:The video shows two orange orbs that could be Chinese Lanterns.
Missouri Orb
Saint Louis — I was working late as usual walking from house to garage and noticed a pulsing reddish drippy light on July 2, 2016.
The light was not anything I have never seen or a known aircraft so I kept watching. It stalled over head at a high elevation than a burst from the red light and it was moving southeast over Saint Louis Highway 44 heading northwest. The entire event lasted a minute. I felt fine about it as I’ve noticing them for the past eleven years. This one I got a photo of. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mississippi Object
I was standing outside my house while looking up at the sky on July 20, 2016 ,and I see in the northeastern sky what seemed to be the flying disco ball. This is what I call it because of the colors red, yellow, green, blue, and white. These are the colors it puts off while it’s hovering and changing directions.
I decided to use the zoom in + app that I downloaded from Google play store to see if I could zoom in on it. But instead, I saw the triangle formation. After taking a picture of that, I went inside and came back out 45 minutes later and tried again to video the “disco ball”. It was high up in the sky; and I zoomed in and that’s when I saw the orbs. It was two white orbs that were side by side that appeared three red orbs in a triangle formation that were pulsating near the previous two. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey New York Objects
Staten Island – Anthony Esemplare called to report that UFOs were circling over his home and New Jersey every single night for the last month. Mind blowing orbs are frequently seen, and circles shot off and shot across the sky He claims round circles of light pass directly overhead. They fly all over the sky with blue and orange color. They appear illuminated from inside. They flow low but silently. You might notice a bright star and suddenly it starts moving and dives to a few feet above the trees. Some look like a diamond or a triangle about the size of a ruler with orbs coming out of it. Anthony is taking photographs and video of various UFOs. Thanks to Anthony Esemplare
New York Orb
Bronx— Monday evening I was walking to my car during my lunch break on July 25, 2016. A storm had just past and the sun was setting. I decided I would snap a photo. The sun was blinding so I wasn’t looking directly at it. I snapped the pic on my iPhone then finished walking to my car.
I received a phone call and completely forgot about the photo until I was flipping through my photos the next day. I noticed a spot On the picture. I tapped to zoom in and activated the “live” feature. The orb moved and quickly darted off the screen. I never heard anything or saw anything. It was all captured in the photo. I don’t know how to upload it in a way that it can be viewed “live. ” Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Entity
There have been many times people have claimed to have seen UFOs; myself being among that group. Although I believe the first real time I ever saw one was back one night in February of 2016, the girl I was dating at the time was with me. We were in the car around 01:00-03:00; parked around the corner from her house. It was extremely dark, we were stargazing; which we did quite often. Then she said “look it’s a UFO” (jokingly) I began observing it. It was a bright white light that would dim and get brighter and every time it would get brighter these two smaller rid lights would form right underneath it, creating a triangle. I realize that this sounds cliché. Then it disappeared and appeared at a different location in the sky southeast of the original location, slightly brighter and flashing a little faster before it would disappear again appearing northeast of the new location about thirty seconds after it vanished, once more it was brighter and flashing faster; at this point the two red lights that appeared forming the triangle were more visible. It vanished once more, reappearing shortly after southwest of the ORIGINAL location, it was much brighter. My heart was pounding at this point it vanished; then right above a blinding white light with two large glowing red lights below it forming the triangle. It appeared to be moving closer; when my girlfriend yelled we must drive off; and we did.
Almost one week ago, I was doing research on this topic; and went to sleep this night and found myself running in my dream, no clothes on, covered in some sort of filth. I was constantly turning my head while running but I never saw what I was running from. It was a barren, flat landscape I had never seen before. While running I remember seeing images carved into the rocks and ground. I woke up about 04:21 freezing and drenched in sweat and opened my eyes not long enough for my eyes to focus. I saw a face, not human. Next thing I know it’s 10:00 in the morning and I’m awake. I promptly began drawing a sketch of the face I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Lights
Corbett – I was on my way to make a delivery on July13, 2016, and noticed the lights because its pitch black on that highway at night.
When I first noticed it I thought it was a dome mansion built into the mountain side with stationary lights. It had a silhouette of half of a pancake or half a circle.
y feelings were excitement and curiosity then fear. I lost sight of it because it was stationary and I was driving past it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
Dripping Springs — I was taking pictures of the horizon on July 25, 2016.
The pictures I take are at two minutes intervals and on the last frame I captured an object in the sky.
It is very far away and I didn’t notice it until I came home and looked at the pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Utah Lights
Layton — We were walking on the side walk late on July 27, 2016, and my sister and I saw a big glowing orb with what looked like a fire trail. Thirty seconds later it spilt into at least 50 pieces and what was strange none of the pieces fell from where they split, almost like flying in a formation.
As low as they were and how large they were they would of crashed into the Wasatch Mountains but soon disappeared. We thought possible plane or a satellite. Never were sure. I felt clammy but nervous at the same time because it looked too big to not crash into the cities below.
We lost sight of it when it went behind trees. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Lights
Charlottesville — My mother and I saw a UFO triangle around 8:55 PM, on Sunday July 24, 2016. It was flying over 29 North near Kroger and K-mart in Charlottesville, Va.
A digital video was taken by me. The UFO was at first stationary then moved northeast straight-line path and was gone.

Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Light
Surfers Paradise — I was taking photos of sunrise on June 6, 2016, from the balcony of my hotel room on the 43rd floor of the Hilton Gold Coast Australia.
The object was not visible to my naked eye.
I checked my shot and noticed a very strange mark. I thought it must have been something on the lens so I cleaned it and took another shot. The object appears in all ten shots, some rather distant from the sunrise.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Disc
Strongfield — I am a grain farmer that was spraying a lentil crop for disease protection on the morning of July 1st 2016. I noticed a neighbor spraying about 1 mile east of me. I was very concerned that the glyphosate which he was spraying would drift onto my lentil field. I used my Galaxy cell phone to take multiple pictures of him spraying. When checking these photos I noticed only one of these photos had a strange object in the sky which appeared to have a very interesting shape. I never noticed this object while taking the pictures. Six of the pictures show absolutely nothing in the sky. I am convinced this object is not a result of anything on the glass in front of me.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Eire Orb
I was taking a photo of a perfect clear blue sky and spotted something that just looks very strange on July 18, 2016. I took many photos in the same direction within seconds and the ‘object’ appears in only five consecutive shots.
I have similar photos from years ago but that object moved miles in different directions in seconds, this one didn’t.
When I zoom in on the object it is not something I can apply my normal logic to. It sure isn’t an airplane or a planet. But, I have no clue what it is. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Georgia Triangle
Tbilisi— I was just sitting in my room and my roommate observed something weird in sky on May 5, 2016.
we both saw a V shaped object and it remained with a stable shape for up to 3-4 minutes.
t was going down and we lost its appearance because it had gone down as we checked it.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Macedonia Light
Skopje – I was at home on the terrace, when my wife noticed it first and called me.
I was thinking it was a drone filming with GoPro some night video. The object was a very bright ball of light, and on my phone looked like a triangle/
Its hard to say because it was very bright like a star but it was moving to the left. A lot of my neighbors were witnesses. At the end the light of the ball or triangle just turned off….slowly. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Portugal Light
Castelo Branco — On June 20, 2016, around 21:30 hours, I went to my balcony and saw this bright light in the sky moving fast horizontally, and then making a curve. After a short moment it descended silently and disappeared behind the buildings in front of my house. The light kept on appearing for several times during for 15 minutes.
Could it be a drone with a light for night flight? Possibly! But drones make some noise and this I was silent. The second time it took-off I rushed into my house to grab my camera and take photos. The intensity of the light, kept on changing randomly from time to time. Sometimes it almost disappeared to be bright the next second.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Russia Objects Moving
Tolyatti— I used the night vision of the first generation with a two fold increase for observation on June 16, 2016..
The objects seen were in the form of luminous dots, and silent. Initially, about 0:30, I noticed a flying object from north to south.
A second object was seen flying from south to north.
The third object was seen at 1:12 and was flying from south to north. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Serbia Triangles
Belgrade— My wife was enjoying evening on the terrace watching the evening sky. At 22:15 on July 23, 2016, she called me outside urgently and we observed three triangular shaped object flying in formation from SE to NW. At first they looked as military aircraft, but were much faster and the lights were not nautical. Objects only had a steady yellowish light. The triangular shape of objects could be easily seen against lighter sky. The speed was enormous since objects covered whole sky from SE to NW in less than a minute silently! The object flew the whole sky and disappeared behind city scenery. The phenomenon lasted about 40 seconds. I am astronomer so this was not like any astronomical object. There was no time to grab a camera or anything to record event. After event I scanned for airplanes on virtual radar 24, but there was no object flying in such manner. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Sri Lanka Green Sky
Hambantota — In the evening on July 27, 2016, I was driving and saw very beautiful clouds.
I stopped the vehicle and got some photos. After I saw those photos, I saw something flash with a green color thing.
I thought I would report it to this website. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK England Orb
Liverpool— A close friend was traveling to work on July 18, 2016, when he spotted the Beluga plane overhead that transports wings from the airbus that is based in north Wales, it carries the A380 wings, he then spotted a large object very close and underneath the aircraft. It followed for a few miles then shot off. This was on the Wirral Peninsula between Ellesmere port and Liverpool.
He passed the photo onto me as he knows that I have a interest in MUFON. The Beluga aircraft had to make an emergency landing a few months back due to an incident local to Liverpool. Thanks to MUFON CMS

This case was released by Exopolitics Czech Republic. It comes from an eyewitness living in Prague and concerning the very interesting case of the real possibility that Extraterrestrials are living amongst us.
Case 1
I will write all that I can remember from this event.
It happened in 1988 to 1989. Back then, I was working for the company “Drobné zbo¸í” (Small Goods) as Head of the Operating Unit on Cracow Street (Krakovská), on the first street on the former House of Fashion (Dům Módy, Prague Center). I don’t remember the house number, but there was a shop with cheap goods for many years prior to my joining the company. This small shop had only one counter and a little shop window, just for one employee. My shop mostly had regular customers thanks to our specific goods suited mainly to people associated with merry-go-rounds and other dealers. I did window dressing, make bargain offers – like clothes, shoes, make-ups, perfumes etc., and it attracted the interests of passers-by. They stopped and stared at the storefront before entering. I was often alone inside and looked out through the shop window guessing who would enter. It was the first time when I saw her. A middle-aged woman, dressed in a light elegant coat with a belt firmly done up. She wore a beautiful, typically tied cashmere scarf, and she caught my attention with her dark sunglasses as it was almost autumn. Both her hands were buried deep in her pockets, looking in through the shop window, without any interest for the merchandiseon display.

I thought: “What do you want here? The House of Fashon is a little further down the street for such a lady like you.”
Then about two weeks or so went by and it was around noon or after lunch. I was standing behind the counter as usual looking out at the street through the window. Suddenly this woman literally ran into the shop, quickly shut the door, looked around to make sure that we were alone, and closely approached the counter. She quickly took off her sunglasses and burst out talking to me: “Please, listen to me! Because I’m being watched and I’m terribly afraid. They are going to kill me!”
I was a bit scared, but I told her: “Do you want me to help you? What do you need?” She replied: “You can’t help me, but hear me out.” I said: “OK speak!” And she began:
“My husband is a scientist and was working on some top secret research. He was transferred to the USA because of extraterrestrials, they are in fact amongst us, living amongst us. Do you understand?!”
I stared at her as if she fell from the sky with my eyes popping out as I tried to calm the confusion in my head. She kept looking back, trying to relax, but I will never forget the tension in her face and her desperate urgent expressions and words. It was as if she had fought for her life. I was really speechless and with all my attention I stared into her eyes. The she hastily continued:
“It’s been half a year, they killed him and lied to me, he wanted to disclose that there are aliens amongst us. He still hasn´t come back from his business trip, and they haven´t released him. After two months they finally allowed me to talk to him, but still the same lie – he is sick, or has to be somewhere for something, however I knew that something was wrong. It wasn´t normal for him to not regularly call me. I was allowed to talk to him just because I had been insistent. He had to sign a document stating that he wouldn’t talk to anyone and that he will continue to work on the project for another half a year, abroad.
He also called me once, but the phone call had been monitored, and I knew that he couldn´t speak. He sounded desperate and didn´t want to be there. When we met, they left us alone in the hotel for one night and he told me everything, we had to whisper. First thing in the morning they took him and myself in a car. Since they were watching and interrogating me, they knew what he told me and what we had been talking about, and now I’m under surveillance. Whatever I do, wherever I go, whatever I say to anyone, I’m followed. They want to drive me insane, so I have to go to the mental hospital. They killed my husband and I will be thrown into the madhouse. That’s it, that´s the way they do it, and now I must report to them where I am going to go. I´ve disappeared from them for a while now, but they are still around. They always find me, it´s a game of nerves. They can drive me to suicide and I had to tell someone as I don’t believe anyone around me.”
I recovered a little and compassionately asked her if she really believed that they are living amongst us, and if so, what does it matter if we know, if we cannot recognize them. She said that it is true, otherwise they wouldn´t have killed him. She added that they (aliens) are distinguishable from us, and even the government and authorities cannot know or get to know who they are. They are said to be perfectly integrated into the general population, that´s why there is a big problem with their disclosure.
She went on and suggested that when people start to believe, that it won’t take long and they’ll find ways on how to expose them. I asked her if it is really possible to expose them, she answered: “Yes, it is…….”
I understood that if it’s really that serious, I could be in deep trouble and I had better keep my mouth shut as my life could be in danger. In front of the shop window, across the street stopped a big black car stopped.
The lady pronounced: “Here they are!” She put her sunglasses on and walked to the door. She walked out and two men went towards her as if they were friends. Both men took her, one on each side under the arms, and led her to the car.
Since then, I have never seen her and I have never told anyone.

Case 2 - Telepathic contact
There was something very strange that happened to me some years ago (2004). I was living in a small village 50km from Prague and once, I ran out of cigarettes and dropped by the local pub to buy get some more. The place was quite empty, with three to four regulars in the pub – bar flies. I saw an ordinary, common fellow and was unremarkable, not distinguishable by anything. He was standing there at the bar with security-cobra uniform on, with two others, standing and drinking a beer. When I entered, the bartender has been at their table and they were talking about something. The bartender raised his head and growled: “Hi! I´ll be back at once to you!” I replied: “I´ll wait. What´s the panic?” I came and stood behind the one in the uniform who shyly smiled and stepped back a little. I was standing very close to him and said out loud: “We’re gonna sleep well when security cobra is guarding us”. And thought to myself: “Who does he want to catch, he’s so skinny and his good nature shines from him all over the place.” However he seemed to hear my thoughts, he turned to me, looked into my eyes with a very nice look, and in such a loving, and gentle way replied out loud: “Not me. My colleagues over there.” I said immediately: “Those two guys? What’s the matter?” I´d been taken by surprise, so I only gave him a smile to him.
One of his colleagues standing at the bar began speaking: “We’ll teach Fred, because he’s new here, so we’re showing him where it’s possible to get a quick beer, am I right Fred?” Fred was just smiling and nodding in agreement. The bartender again said: “I´m coming.” To which the guys standing at the bar said: “OK.” They then started to talk to each other. However, the man standing next to me and myself stood in silence. Looking ahead. I sent out a thought: “You can hear what I’m thinking, I know it!” And I repeated it. He answered: “Yes, I can!” I sent out another thought: “Who the hell are you, or what are you?” There was no answer, just silence. The returning bartender broke the silence: “What will you have?” I said I needed the cigarettes. Putting the pack of cigarettes in my pocket I sent out another thought: “What the hell has this been? You will not make me out to be a fool! Are you an alien, or what are you?” I left towards the door as I have received his telepathic answer: “You know who I am. I can´t speak to you.” I was very shocked and confused, so I sent out: “I don´t want to talk to you anymore”. I shut the door and went home. I’m living next to the pub and since then, I’ve never seen this fellow again.

7 Irregularities that suggest Earth’s Moon was engineered
7 Irregularities that suggest Earth’s Moon was engineered
Even though the Apollo missions brought back to Earth huge amounts of data about the moon, it has remained an enigma for astronomers and scientists alike. Dr. Robert Jastrow, the first president of NASA’s Commission of Lunar Exploration called the moon “the Rosetta Stone of the planets.”
But what is it about the moon that fascinates everyone? Well, there are many people who firmly believe that Earth’s moon is actually a terraformed and engineer piece of hardware that has a 3-mile thick outer layer of dust and rocks. Beneath this layer, it is believed that the moon has a solid shell of around 20 miles made of highly resistant materials such as titanium, uranium 236, mica, neptunium 237. Definitely, elements that you would not expect to find “inside” the moon.
There are many UFOlogists around the world who speculate that the moon is actually a giant base where extraterrestrials survey mankind’s progress.
There are so many mysteries surrounding Earth’s moon that there are those who have proposed that the moon could be something entirely different.
Robin Brett, a scientist from NASA stated, “It seems easier to explain the non-existence of the Moon than its existence.”
Here are 7 Irregularities that suggest Earth’s Moon was engineered and might be a giant hollow base:
1) The Moon seems engineered. On November of 1969, NASA intentionally crashed a lunar module that caused an impact equivalent to one ton of TNT on the Moon. The shock waves built up and NASA scientists listened to what was happening on the Moon. Strangely, after impact, NASA scientists said that the Moon rang like a bell and the reverberation continued for thirty minutes. According to Ken Johnson, supervisor of the data and photo control department, the Moon not only rang like a bell but the whole Moon “wobbled” in such a precise way that it was “almost as though it had gigantic hydraulic damper struts inside it.
2) The Moon has elements it should not have. In the 1970’s Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcerbakov from the Soviet Academy of science wrote an article called: “Is the Moon the creation of Alien Intelligence?” It was a very interesting article that asked some important questions. How is it possible that the surface of the moon is so hard and why does it contain minerals like Titanium? Mysteriously, there are some lunar rocks that have been found to contain PROCESSED METALS, such as Brass, Mica and the elements of Uranium 236 and Neptunium 237 that have NEVER been found to occur naturally. Yet there are traces of them on the Moon. Uranium 236 is a radioactive nuclear waste which is found in spent nuclear and reprocessed Uranium. More interestingly, Neptunium 237 is a radioactive metallic element and a by-product of nuclear reactors and the production of Plutonium. You have to ask the question: What is happening on Earth’s Moon? From where are these elements and minerals coming from?
3) Earth’s Moon does not have a solid core like every other planetary object. Researchers are nearly 100 percent sure that the Moon is, in fact, hollow or has a very low-intensity interior. Strangely, the Moon’s concentration of mass is located at a series of points just below the surface.
4) The Moon is older than Earth. Our Moon is unlike any other satellite discovered in the known universe. Researchers know the Moon is 4.6 billion years old and that raises a lot of questions. This means that the moon is older than the Earth by nearly 800,000 years according to scientists.
5) Incredible orbit. Earth’s moon is the only moon in the solar system that has a stationary, nearly “perfect” circular orbit. It’s a fact that the Moon does not spin like a natural celestial body. In other words, our Moon does not share any characteristics with other moons found in our Solar System. If it wasn’t strange enough, from any point on the surface of our planet, only one side of the Moon is visible. What is the moon hiding?
6) Lunar rocks and titanium. There are some lunar rocks that have been found to contain ten times more titanium than “titanium rich” rocks on planet Earth. Here on Earth, we use Titanium in supersonic jets, deep diving submarines and spacecraft. It’s unexplainable. Dr Harold Urey, Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry said he was “terribly puzzled by the rocks astronauts found on the moon and their Titanium content. The samples were unimaginable and mind-blowing since researchers could not account for the presence of Titanium.
7) Precise position. If all of the above points did not get you to think differently about the Earth’s moon here are some more interesting things about the Moon. What is keeping the moon in its nearly perfect position? the moon has a precise altitude, course and speed, allowing it to “function” properly in regards of planet Earth.
Simply put the Moon should not be where it is currently. Everything points to the possibility that Earth’s moon was in fact placed into its current position in the distant past. The Moon’s unnatural orbit and irregular composition raise hundreds of questions that neither NASA scientists, astronomers or geologists are able to answer today. Despite all efforts to understand Earth’s “natural” satellite, the truth is that we have very little information about the Moon’s origin and purpose. What do you think the moon is? A nearly perfect natural occurrence? Or do the Moon’s origins surpass human understanding?
“We are already here, among you. Some of us have always been here, with you, yet apart from, watching, and occasionally guiding you whenever the opportunity arose. Now, however, our numbers have been increased in preparation for a further step in the development of your planet: a step of which you are not yet aware… We have been confused with the gods of many world-religions, although we are not gods, but your fellow creatures, as you will learn directly before many more years have passed. You will find records of our presence in the mysterious symbols of ancient Egypt, where we made ourselves known in order to accomplish certain ends. Our principal symbol appears in the religious art of your present civilization and occupies a position of importance upon the great seal of your country. (The United States of America) It has been preserved in certain secret societies founded originally to keep alive the knowledge of our existence and our intentions toward mankind.”
“We have left you certain landmarks, placed carefully in different parts of the globe, but most prominently in Egypt where we established our headquarters upon the occasion of our last overt, or, as you would say, public appearance. At that time the foundations of your present civilization were ‘laid in the earth’ and the most ancient of your known landmarks established by means that would appear as miraculous to you now as they did to the pre-Egyptians, so many thousands of years ago. Since that time the whole art of building, in stone, has become symbolic, to many of you, of the work in hand—the building of the human race towards its perfection.”
“Your ancestors knew us in those days as preceptors and as friends. Now, through your own efforts, you have almost reached, in your majority, a new step on the long ladder of your liberation. You have been constantly aided by our watchful ‘inspiration’, and hindered only by the difficulties natural to your processes of physical and moral development…”
“You have lately achieved the means of destroying yourselves. Do not be hasty in your self-congratulation. Yours is not the first civilization to have achieved—and used—such means. Yours will not be the first civilization to be offered the means of preventing that destruction and proceeding, in the full glory of its accumulated knowledge, to establish an era of enlightenment upon the earth.”
“However, if you do accept the means offered you, and if you establish such a ‘millennium’ upon the basis of your present accomplishments, yours will be the first civilization to do so.
ALWAYS BEFORE, THE KNOWLEDGE, THE TECHNIQUES, THE INSTRUCTIONS, HAVE BECOME THE POSSESSIONS OF A CHOSEN FEW: A FEW CHOSE THEMSELVES BY THEIR OWN OPEN-MINDED AND CLEAR-SIGHTED REALIZATION OF ‘THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME’. THEY ENDEAVORED TO PASS ON THEIR KNOWLEDGE IN THE BEST POSSIBLE FORM, AND BY THE MOST ENDURING MEANS AT THEIR COMMAND.
In a sense they succeeded, but in another sense their failure equaled their success. Human acceptance is, to a very large extent, measurable by human experience. Succeeding generations, who never knew our actual presence, translated the teachings of their elders in the terms of their own experience. For instance, a cross-sectional drawing, much simplified and stylized by many copyings, of one of our traveling machines became the ‘Eye of Horus”, and then other eyes of other gods. Finally, the ancient symbol that was once an accurate representation of an important mechanical device has been given surprising connotations by the modern priesthood of psychology.”
“The important fact is, however, that we are here, among you, and that you, as a world-race, will know it before very much longer! The time is almost ripe but, as with all ripening things, the process may not be hurried artificially without danger of damaging the fruit. There is a right time for every action, and the right time for our revelation of ourselves to your era is approaching.”
“Some of you have seen our ‘advanced guard’ already. You have met us often in the streets of your cities, and you have not noticed us. But when we flash through your skies in the ANCIENT TRADITIONAL VEHICLES [Vimanas, see Exhibit 14, this paper—GJ] you are amazed, and those of you who open your mouths and tell of what you have seen are accounted dupes and fools. Actually you are prophets, seers in the true sense of the word. You in Kansas and Oklahoma, you in Oregon and in California, and Idaho, you know what you have seen: do not be dismayed by meteorologists. Their business is the weather. One of you says, ‘I saw a torpedo-shaped object’. Others report, ‘disc-like objects’, some of you say ‘spherical objects’, or ‘platter-like objects’. You are all reporting correctly and accurately what you saw, and in most cases you are describing the same sort of vehicle.”
“… Now that the art of manufacturing plastic materials has reached a certain perfection among you, perhaps you can imagine a material, almost transparent to the rays of ordinary visible light, yet strong enough to endure the stresses of extremely rapid flight. Look again at the great nebulae, and think of the construction of your own galaxy, and behold the universal examples of what we have found to be the perfect shape for an object which is to travel through what you still fondly refer to as ‘empty’ space.”
In the center of the discus, gyroscopically controlled within a central sphere of the same transparent material, our control rooms revolve freely, accommodating themselves and us to flat or edgewise flight. Both methods are suited to your atmosphere, and when we convert abruptly from one to the other, as we are sometimes obliged to do, and you are watching, OUR MACHINES seem suddenly to appear—or to disappear. At our possible speeds your eyes, untrained and unprepared for the maneuver, do make mistakes—but not the mistakes your scientists so often accuse them of making.”
“We pass over your hilltops in horizontal flight. You see and report a torpedo-shaped object. We pass over, in formation, flying vertically ‘edge-on’… Or we go over at night, jet-slits glowing, and you see an orange disc. In any event you see us, and in any event we do not care. if we chose to remain invisible, we could do so, easily, and, in fact, we have done so almost without exception for hundreds of years. But you must become accustomed to our shapes in your skies, for one day they will be familiar, friendly, and reassuring sights.”
“This time, it is to be hoped that the memory of them, passed on to your children and their children, will be clear and precise. That you will not cause them to forget, as your ancestors forgot, the meaning of the diagrams and the instructions we will leave with you. If you do fail, AS OTHER CIVILIZATIONS HAVE FAILED, we will see your descendants wearing wiring-diagrams for simple machines as amulets, expecting the diagrams to do what their forefathers were taught the completed article would accomplish.
Then their children, forgetting even that much—or little—would preserve the amulet as a general protective device—or as an intellectual curiosity—or perhaps as a religious symbol. Such is the cycle of forgetfulness!”
I tried to find the original source to this article to no avail. However, I did find this…:
According to Trench, the editor/author and publisher of the Nov-Dec 1958 issue, the original article was found in the November 1947 issue of ‘Fantastic Stories’ (USA), written by a pseudonym, Alexander Blade. Remarkably enough, after 54 years, the ‘Flying Saucer Review Magazine’ is still being published (or was at least in 2010), but I have not been able to find it online. Also, 1947 triggers memories in the mass consciousness from the UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico. So, the Sirians have (and they apparently admitted to this in 1947) been around since ancient time, and just like I’ve said, never left. Interesting in this article is that they at that time gave us hints of what is to come. They are talking about our ‘liberation’, and that they will be a part of that.
and this:
According to Brinsley Le Poer Trench, editor of Flying Saucer Review Magazine, an unknown person using the pseudonym ‘Alexander Blade’ wrote the above article that originally appeared in the November 1947 issue of Fantastic Stories (USA).
One has to ask the question: who was Alexander Blade?
A representative or liaison to inner-earth – Agharti? According to this article, the instructions and techniques used for building these “ancient traditional vehicles” are within the possession of a chosen few, and based on my research, this is indeed the case.
I must admit, the ‘Alexander Blade’ article speaks volumes! And it seems the Germans wanted to be part of the “chosen few” club as well. From what I’ve uncovered they received vital information that eventually gave them a ‘shot in the arm’ necessary to jump-start their esoteric technology campaign – the ‘flying-disc’ program.
I argue Germany’s pre-war secret societies, such as Vril and Thule, were actually communicating with inner-earth emissaries for the purposes of acquiring this ancient technology.
According to Gregg Braden’s research, we are only utilizing 22 of the 64 codons in our DNA, thus suggesting that our DNA was genetically manipulated, most likely by the Anunnaki. If this premise is true, then imagine being able to fully access all 64 codons in your DNA?
Conversely, is this the reason why the Anunnaki created us to become slaves in order to mine gold for them? It certainly explains why there is such a high demand for gold and who the “All seeing Eye” is at the top of the pyramid.
To me, any benevolent message from the Anunnaki would most likely have a hidden agenda to keep us subservient to them. The last thing they want is to see our DNA codons fully open.
According to the research of Robert Morning Sky, our DNA is actually superior to the Anunnaki because we also have the DNA of the AKU, which gave us consciousness. This is known as the “Gift of the Feather” and is why we feel something magical when we see a random feather in our every day lives.
From the Sumerian texts, we also know that the Anunnaki co-mingled with us, thus giving us their DNA as well.
As our masters, the last thing they want you to know is that YOU are more powerful than they are once you figure out how to activate the remaining codons in your DNA.
I’ve been experimenting with this and will be publishing an article on In5D about what I’m doing to activate mine.
In the meanwhile, always question everything, especially from alleged benevolent sources because most likely, there’s an agenda behind it.

I found these two long cigar shaped UFOs over the Colima volcano in Mexico this morning. They are both very close to the mouth of the active volcano. No aircraft would ever attempt such a dangerous feat. You can also tell the distance of the UFO is far away because both the volcano and UFOs have the same focus. The largest of the UFOs (upper left) has a slight metallic tint to it, which makes sense since there is a sunrise happening and you know what I always say about sunrises and sunsets...those are the most popular times to catch UFOs, due to the angle of the sun.
The volcano is 480km from Mexico city. Since the mouth of the volcano is about 500 meters across, and the UFOs length is also the same as the mouth, we can assume that these two UFOs are 500 meters long.
Fecha de avistamiento: July 29, el año 2016 07:36:02
Localización de avistamiento: Volcán de Colima, México
He encontrado estos dos ovnis en forma de cigarro largo sobre el volcán Colima en México esta mañana. Ellos son a la vez muy cerca de la boca del volcán activo. Ningún avión volvería a intentar una hazaña tan peligrosa. También puede indicar la distancia del OVNI está muy lejos ya que tanto el volcán y los ovnis tienen el mismo enfoque. El mayor de los OVNIS (superior izquierda) tiene un ligero tinte metálico a la misma, lo cual tiene sentido ya que no es una salida del sol pasando y que saben lo que siempre digo acerca de amaneceres y atardeceres ... esos son los momentos más populares para la captura de los OVNIS, debido al ángulo del sol.
El volcán se encuentra 480 kilometros de la ciudad de México. Desde la boca del volcán está a unos 500 metros de diámetro y la longitud de los ovnis es también la misma que la boca, se puede asumir que estos dos OVNIS son 500 metros de largo.

"These Beings Came Through The Walls" - My First ET Contact, A Witness Testimony, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of video: July 26, 2016 Maker of video:EMN Earth Mystery News. Here is a brave testimony of a first encounter as a child. Its rare that a person comes out and tells anyone what happened during an abduction, but people need to be brave and put trust in themselves that it did happen and it has happened to thousands of other around the world. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com EMN states: Lisa is a Intuitive Specialist and Transformational Coach with a busy practice in Idaho, USA, and internationally via Skype. Throughout her life Lisa recalls experiences with Extraterrestrial beings on many different levels of contact. Some are of a physical, 3-Dimensional level, experienced through her physical senses when awake and fully conscious. Others are experienced more on an energetic plain of consciousness, while still others can be described as multi-dimensional communications. Lisa feels a strong kinship and sense of community with these ET beings, so much so that she describes them like family. While it may be difficult for many people to distinguish between one's own thinking and imagination, or that of a conscious connection to more subtle levels of consciousness and life, let alone extraterrestrial and inter-dimensional beings, Lisa has made it her life work to open up to these possibilities and communicate them to others. Says Lisa, "I want people to know its alright to talk about this and to stop being afraid of the stigma of; 'you're crazy'... This is more normal than people want to admit."

Two UFOs Flying Into Military Owned Land, Tall White Alien Ships Inbound, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: Nov 12, 2015 Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Holy cow! Did you see that? Check out Steven Barones video below that shows two UFOs flying into Nellis AFB privately owned land. Thats right, this area is 100% military and only they can come and go, but these are not fighter jets. These are Tall White alien ships. The base of the Tall Whites is located at the end of the Nellis old firing range, which is mostly out of sight from Los Vegas, but object flying in to it will always be within view. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Steven Barone states: I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of July 28, 2016, and the older clip in the same spot on November 12, 2015. Last night was very stormy all the way around the city. There were moments where it wasn't too bad but when you combine the lightning and wind with a daytime temperature of over 115 degrees you know the night isn't going to be very productive. I only took the night vision camera out because it can handle a little wind. I wasn't seeing anything so for the fun of it I aimed the night vision camera at a mountain which is only about six miles away and that is to the top of the mountain and not the base. I aimed the night vision camera that way because of an earlier video I caught right there. I included a small portion of the older video in this one because both events happened in the same spot. I don't know what it was I filmed last night but I don't think it was a meteorite or I would have seen it the entire time. It only showed up for a fraction of a second. I am publishing it because it came down where the older objects did. Ironically it was facing the exact direction to the north where Area 51 would be. I do believe these objects were much closer than Area 51 though. From my home to the center of the base at Area 51 is 77 miles in a straight line. I ended having to come back into the house because it was getting even windier and the lightning was getting closer.
Pop Star Singer Claims She Once Spotted A Worm-Like UFO
Pop Star Singer Claims She Once Spotted A Worm-Like UFO
The latest comments of a pop star are literally out of this world. Singer Demi Lovato shared her theories on extraterrestrial life in an interview with Elle Canada’s September issue. When the magazine’s reporter asked her of things she believes in, the 23-year-old “Confident” singer exclaimed “Aliens!” “I’ve seen a UFO,” she added.
Lovato claimed she had the UFO sighting several years ago. The celebrity said she saw something in the sky while doing some walks outside. She described it as a worm-like object that “was changing shapes and moving all over the place.”
Interestingly, in June 2014, Lovato also discussed aliens in an interview. The former Disney star backed up the conspiracy theory that mermaids are aliens during her interview on Late Night With Seth Meyers. She revealed her belief of aliens as real, and for her, it is very self-centered to believe that humans are the only living things in the universe.
On the same interview, she noted Atlantis as a possible home of mermaids, which she believes an alien species living in parts of the Indian Ocean. She continued saying that Christopher Columbus has seen three mermaids on his way to America.
Miss Lovato is not the only celebrity who discusses aliens. Earlier this month, former One Direction Zayn Malik claimed that he left the group because an alien spoke to him in a dream.
Ceres en de grote verdwijntruc: waar zijn alle grote kraters gebleven?
Ceres en de grote verdwijntruc: waar zijn alle grote kraters gebleven?
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Aangenomen werd dat de dwergplaneet rijkelijk bedekt zou zijn met enorme kraters. Maar ze zijn er gewoon niet. Hoe kan dat?
In maart 2015 kwam ruimtesonde Dawn bij Ceres aan. Voorafgaand aan de aankomst van Dawn hadden onderzoekers al nagedacht over hoe Ceres er waarschijnlijk uit zou zien. De dwergplaneet moest bedekt zijn met enorme kraters, zo redeneerden ze. Maar Dawn liet een heel andere dwergplaneet zien. “Toen we voor het eerst naar de beelden van Ceres keken, viel het ons op dat er niet echt heel grote inslagbekkens zijn op het oppervlak,” vertelt onderzoeker David Williams. Geen van de kraters op Ceres zijn groter dan 285 kilometer.
Mysterie En dat is een mysterie. Want Ceres moet in de 4,5 miljard jaar dat deze bestaat herhaaldelijk flinke klappen hebben gehad. “Zelf Vesta (een planetoïde die Dawn voorafgaand aan Ceres bezocht, red.) heeft – ondanks dat deze de helft kleiner is dan Ceres twee grote kraters op de zuidpool. Maar op Ceres zien we alleen het Kerwan-bekken dat een diameter van slechts 285 kilometer heeft.”
Er is ‘iets’ gebeurd Het suggereert volgens Williams dat er ‘iets’ gebeurd is op Ceres. Want er moeten grote inslagen hebben plaatsgevonden. Simulaties suggereren dat de dwergplaneet zeker tien tot vijftien kraters zou moeten hebben die een diameter hebben die groter is dan 400 kilometer. Daarnaast zouden er ook nog eens zo’n 40 kraters moeten zijn die groter zijn dan 100 kilometer. In werkelijkheid bezit Ceres echter zestien kraters groter dan 100 kilometer en is Kerwan-bekken met 258 kilometer de grootste krater die Ceres heeft. “We concluderen dat een groot aantal kraters op Ceres waarschijnlijk door de tijd heen is verdwenen,” vertelt onderzoeker Simone Marchi. “En dat is waarschijnlijk het resultaat van de bijzondere samenstelling en interne evolutie van Ceres.”
Op deze afbeelding zie je de grootste krater van Ceres: het Kerwan-bekken. Het bekken ligt in een cirkelvormige laagvlakte: mogelijk was dit ooit één van de grootste kraters van Ceres, maar is deze door geologische en interne processen vrijwel onherkenbaar geworden.
De grote verdwijntruc Maar hoe zijn de grote kraters op Ceres dan precies verdwenen? Er zijn verschillende mogelijkheden. Zo weten we allereerst dat de korst van Ceres niet puur rotsachtig is: deze bevat ook heel wat ijs. Het maakt de korst flexibeler, zeker als dat ijs zich gemixt heeft met zouten. En dat kan er zomaar voor gezorgd hebben dat een groot bekken geleidelijk aan vlakker en uiteindelijk onherkenbaar is geworden. “Daarnaast zien we bewijs voor cryovulkanisme,” vertelt Williams. Cryovulkanisme is in grote lijnen vergelijkbaar met het vulkanisme dat we hier op aarde kennen, alleen komt er geen gesmolten gesteente, maar ‘gesmolten ijs’ (water of pekel) vrij. Ook cryolava dat over het oppervlak van de dwergplaneet stroomde, kan hebben bijgedragen aan het verdwijnen van de grote kraters.
Hoe de kraters ook precies verdwenen zijn: Ceres moet er zelfs lang na het Late Heavy Bombardment – zo’n 4 miljard jaar geleden – nog mee bezig zijn geweest. Onderzoekers hopen in de nabije toekomst nog veel meer te weten te komen over de geologische geschiedenis van de dwergplaneet. Dawn zal nog wel een tijdje rond Ceres cirkelen en in ieder geval getuige zijn van Ceres’ perihelium: het moment waarop de dwergplaneet het dichtst bij de zon in de buurt komt (april 2018). Onderzoekers willen graag achterhalen of er onder invloed van de warmte van de zon veranderingen op het oppervlak van Ceres plaatsvinden.

Solar Probe Plus zal in 2018 gelanceerd worden, in de atmosfeer van de zon duiken en dichter bij onze ster in de buurt komen dan elk ander ruimtevaartuig ooit gedaan heeft.
Het belooft een prachtige missie te worden: de missie van Solar Probe Plus. De sonde moet ergens tussen eind juli en eind augustus 2018 gelanceerd worden en zal zevenmaal langs Venus scheren om geleidelijk aan dichter bij de zon in de buurt te komen. Uiteindelijk zal de afstand tussen de sonde en het oppervlak van de zon nog maar zo’n 6,2 miljoen kilometer zijn. Dat lijkt veel, maar daarmee komt Solar Probe Plus zeven keer dichter bij de zon in de buurt dan elk ander ruimtevaartuig ooit heeft gepresteerd.
LEKKER DICHTBIJ
Het ruimtevaartuig Helios 2 is op dit moment recordhouder: het ruimtevaartuig kwam het dichtst bij de zon in april 1976. De afstand tussen de zon en Helios 2 was op dat moment ongeveer 44 miljoen kilometer.
Fase D Een ruimtevaartuig ontwikkelen dat de zon zo dicht nadert en dus aan extreme straling en temperaturen wordt blootgesteld, is nog niet zo eenvoudig. Maar de Solar Probe Plus nadert zijn voltooiing. De sonde bevindt zich momenteel in fase D van zijn ontwikkeling. In deze fase wordt de bouw van de sonde afgerond. Tevens worden de instrumenten geïnstalleerd en zal de sonde enkele experimenten ondergaan om te kijken of deze werkelijk klaar is voor de missie.
Belangrijk “Het bereiken van dit stadium betekent heel veel voor het team en onze aandeelhouders,” stelt Andy Griesman, namens het John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory dat de sonde in opdracht van NASA bouwt. “Het laat zien dat we een ruimtevaartuig, instrumenten en een missie hebben ontworpen die de uitdagingen die samenhangen met de omstandigheden dicht bij de zon aankan en de gegevens waar wetenschappers al decennia naar op zoek zijn, kan terugsturen.”
De Solar Probe Plus moet onder meer inzicht geven in de verwarming van de atmosfeer van de zon en uitzoeken hoe de zonnewind – een continue stroom van geladen deeltjes die bij de zon wegstroomt – op snelheid komt. “De sonde zal dicht genoeg bij de zon in de buurt komen om de zonnewind te zien versnellen: van subsonisch naar supersonisch,” zo is op de site van de missie te lezen. “En deze zal door de geboorteplaats van de energierijkste zonnedeeltjes vliegen.” Naar verwachting zal de sonde heel wat oude vraagstukken oplossen, maar tevens – zoals we dat van baanbrekende missies gewend zijn – vragen oproepen.
Grote Rode Vlek lijkt de atmosfeer van Jupiter te verwarmen
Grote Rode Vlek lijkt de atmosfeer van Jupiter te verwarmen
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De beroemde roodkleurige storm op de gasreus kan mogelijk verklaren waarom de atmosfeer van Jupiter – ondanks dat de planeet ver van de zon verwijderd is – zo warm is.
Uit eerder onderzoek is gebleken dat het bovenste deel van de atmosfeer van de aarde ongeveer net zo warm is als het bovenste deel van de atmosfeer van Jupiter. En dat is vreemd. Want onze atmosfeer en die van Jupiter worden verwarmd door de zon, maar Jupiter staat wel vijf keer verder van de zon verwijderd dan onze planeet. Het suggereert dat de zon niet de enige warmtebron is voor de atmosfeer van Jupiter. Maar wat zorgt er dan nog meer voor dat de atmosfeer van de gasreus opwarmt?
Temperaturen meten op Jupiter Een nieuw onderzoek schept meer duidelijkheid. Onderzoekers brachten de temperatuur hoog boven de wolken van Jupiter vast met behulp van een telescoop op aarde. Door het onzichtbare infraroodlicht honderden kilometers boven de gasreus te bestuderen, ontdekten de onderzoekers dat de temperaturen in de omgeving van de Grote Rode Vlek veel hoger lagen. “We zagen bijna direct dat onze maximumtemperaturen op grote hoogte zich boven de Grote Rode Vlek bevonden: toeval of een belangrijke aanwijzing?” vertelt onderzoeker James O’Donoghue.
Botsende golven O’Donoghue en collega’s concluderen dat de storm in de Grote Rode Vlek twee soorten golven produceert. Die golven komen met elkaar in botsing en verwarmen de atmosfeer. “De extreem hoge temperaturen die we boven de storm geobserveerd hebben, getuigen van deze energietransfer,” stelt O’Donoghue. “Dit vertelt ons dat een planeet-brede opwarming een plausibele verklaring is voor het feit dat de temperaturen in de hogere delen van de atmosfeer honderden graden hoger liggen dan door zonlicht alleen verklaard kan worden.” Hetzelfde effect is al gespot boven de Andes op aarde en onderzoekers sluiten niet uit dat het op meer plekken in en buiten het zonnestelsel een rol speelt.
De Grote Rode Vlek spreekt al eeuwenlang tot de verbeelding. De vlek werd in de zeventiende eeuw ontdekt en is ongeveer twee tot drie keer zo groot als de aarde. Wetenschappers hopen op korte termijn meer over de vlek te weten te komen. En wel dankzij de onlangs bij Jupiter gearriveerde ruimtesonde Juno. Deze zal onder de wolken van Jupiter gaan gluren en onder meer onthullen hoe de Grote Rode Vlek in elkaar steekt.
Amazing Fireball Over Western US Caused by Chinese Space Junk
Amazing Fireball Over Western US Caused by Chinese Space Junk
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
A brilliant fireball created by falling space junk from a Chinese Long March 7 rocket lit up the skies over Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho and California late Thursday, July 27, 2016. This still image is from a video captured by observer Matt Holt in Utah, who posted his account on Twitter and YouTube.
A giant piece of a recently launched Chinese rocket fell to Earth last night (July 27), blazing a spectacular sky trail that left observers across parts of the western United States slack-jawed.
The dazzling fireball, which you can see in this awesome video by observer Matt Holt, lit up skies over Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho and California about 9:40 p.m. local time Wednesday (12:40 a.m. EDT and 0440 GMT today, July 28), breaking into many bright pieces as it went.
The sky show occurred around the peak of the annual Delta Aquarid meteor shower, but it wasn't caused by bits of comet dust. Rather, experts say, the culprit was the second stage of China's Long March 7 rocket, whichlaunched on its maiden flight June 25.
The 6-ton rocket stage hit Earth's atmosphere at about 18,000 mph (29,000 km/h), said astronomer Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, also an assiduous satellite tracker.
Amazing Fireball Over Western US Caused by Chinese Space Junk
"So far in 2016 there have been 25 re-entries of objects massing 1 ton or more. But objects of 5 ton+ class like this are rare," McDowell said last night via his Twitter account,@planet4589.
"Only bigger re-entry so far this year was a Russian Zenit rocket stage that came down over Vietnam on New Year's Day," he said in another tweet.
China developed the Long March 7 in part to help build the space station it wants to have up and running by the early 2020s. On June 25 — the rocket's first flight — the Long March 7 lofted a prototype crew capsule and a variety of technology demonstrations, Chinese officials have said.
The Long March 7 initially launched to an orbit that took it as close to Earth as 126 miles (203 km), and as far away as 235 miles (378 km). By yesterday morning, friction with Earth's atmosphere had reduced that orbit to 81 miles by 89 miles (131 km by 144 km), McDowell tweeted.
Edward Snowden Reveals Intricate Details about Earth’s Innermost Inhabitants
Edward Snowden Reveals Intricate Details about Earth’s Innermost Inhabitants
Among the groundbreaking disclosures forwarded by Edward Snowden to humanity, one speaks of the possibility of the inner earth being populated by an advanced civilization that had been monitoring us ever since the beginning.
By some he’s considered a traitor, but some think of him as a hero. Edward Snowden had the courage to reveal secrets that the world deserved to know, and among the relevant facts made public, few are told regarding UFOs and extraterrestrial beings.
According to some documents copied from the CIA, the U.S. government has long known about the existence of highly intelligent species, more advanced than humanity. While we were busy gazing the starts for an otherworldly race of humanoids with their disc-shaped UFOs, they were in fact under our very noses, probably for millions of years, and far ahead of us in technological development.
Taking a closer look at Earth’s geology and we’ll see its rigid crust, a rather thin layer of rock that divides the continents and the ocean floor. The crust sits on tectonic plates that shift slowly in time in the lithosphere. At the bottom of the tectonic plates, around 80 to 100 kilometers below the surface, the asthenosphere begins.
Earth’s inner flow occurs in the asthenosphere, and the convection phenomenon at this level is believed to assist the perpetual motion of tectonic plates, but the exact method and visual aspect of the frontier between the lithosphere and asthenosphere is not yet clear. The CIA stocks data tracking systems and deep-sea sonar imagery, but the high-level confidentiality status prohibits the scientists’ access in the absence of specific security clearance.
This type of intelligent Homo Sapiens may have evolved differently, considering the much more stable climate inside the planet. The general consensus is that we’re just ants from their point of view, and there is a small chance that they’ll intervene in our world’s affairs, of those from the surface who struggle with their not so beneficent existence.
“So if you have an an alien civilization trying to listen for other civilizations, or our civilization trying to listen for aliens, there’s only one small period in the development of their society when all of their communication will be sent via the most primitive and most unprotected means.
So when we think about everything that we’re hearing through our satellites or everything that they’re hearing from our civilization (if there are indeed aliens out there), all of their communications are encrypted by default.
“So what we are hearing, that’s actually an alien television show, or you know, a phone call… is indistinguishable to us from cosmic microwave background radiation.”
Having these uncertainties in reference to Earth’s inner structure and layer appearance leaves room for serious suspicions, since the Earth’s mantle could provide better living conditions than its surface. Jules Verne may have been onto something big that might prove to be as real as it can get, while we are taught to believe that everything related to fiction is rejected by the dull reality we live in.
But is this really the case? Is the material realm that we live in fully explored and understood by humanity’s scientific tools? Or is it rather a mirage from which we cannot escape unless we open our eyes and see beyond the illusions?
Despite the fact we had no problems with the occupants of the hallow earth so far, or recorded none that we would know of, the military are considering detonating a nuclear warhead that will seal the deep caves which connect the surface of the Earth with the settlers of the mantle, ultimately preventing the alleged passage from opening again. At least that’s what Snowden revelead in a recent interview.
The idea of our governments irrationally intervening into such important matters is not a foreign idea. NASA nuked the moon in 2009, destroying whatever alien outpost was located out there, and if you remember the Colares UFO incident where the military had gathered unquestionable proof of extraterrestrial existence but afterwards decided to evacuated the local population and set the dust on the entire report until recently. Even the US military officials warned about little green men and the threath they’ll pose in the near future.
With all these neglijent moves, the inner earth’s inhabitants might be up to something. With a wave of mysterious sounds that were heard all over the world, including the one from the Caribbeans that can be heard from outer space, there’s a good chance our intra-terrestrial neighbors are up to something.
If we’re going to assist to a clash between the earthly powers and the mythical dwellers of the far reaches of the Earth we’re yet to find out. Hopefully, this historic period of hasty transition will bring full disclosure for the human race. Everyone deserves to be aware and understand what’s going on.
Elon Musk: We MUST leave our Planet for ONE imperative reason
Elon Musk: We MUST leave our Planet for ONE imperative reason
According to Elon Musk, in order to ensure the existence of the human species we need to leave our planet as soon as possible. This is why Musk wants to send a MILLION people to the surface of the ‘red planet’ in order to create a ‘thriving’ colony on Mars.
Elon Musk, the visionary behind Tesla Motors and SpaceX, has come to the conclusion that the human race must leave this planet as soon as possible, as a measure to ensure the human species does not become extinct. According to Musk, because of the future and the inevitable cycle that Earth will cross at some point, we need to make sure our species survives the test of time.
According to a lengthy article published in the blog Wait But Why, under the title How (and Why) SpaceX Will Colonize Mars, the site editor, Tim Urban, had the opportunity to sit down Elon Musk and talk about SpaceX and their goals concerning Mars.
Elon Musk revealed his concern about the future of the planet and mankind, in general, saying that space colonization will be the only safe alternative in order for our species to survive the future.
There are some people who love, and others who hate Musk largely because he has NEVER missed an opportunity to share his –crazy yet innovative— visions of the world, filled with ‘extravagant’ ideas which range from ‘dropping nukes on the red planet’ to leaving Earth before Earth faces the next Armageddon.
Elon Musk: Let’s put a MILLION people on Mars
While many of us are loving the idea that in the near future, there will most likely be a human colony on Mars, Elon Musk is taking the entire Martian colonization to a NEW level.
Musk believes we need a bigger colony, and when he says BIGGER, he means a million-people-bigger.
According to Elon Musk, sending a handful of people to the surface to the red planet every couple of years will ensure a thriving and prosperous human colony is established on Mars.
According to an interview with Ross Anderson for Aeon Magazine Musk believes that if we are to achieve the level of industrialization and infrastructure currently present on Earth, we are going to require a HUMONGOUS labor force present on Mars:
“Even at a million, you’re actually assuming an incredible amount of productivity per person, because you would need to recreate the entire industrial base on Mars. You would need to mine and refine all of these different materials, in a much more challenging environment than Earth. There would be no trees growing. There would be no oxygen or nitrogen that are just there. No oil.”
Musk is right; we need to LEAVE Earth behind
Looking back at the distant history of planet Earth, we come to realize that our planet has been continuously bombarded by space rocks. According to researchers, these cosmic collisions turned our planet in what we see today, a thriving Oasis in somewhere in a ‘cosmic desert’ we call the universe.
Interestingly, our planet is still being bombarded by thousands of tons of space matter. Looking at Earth’s modern history, we see that rarely has a larger space object collided with our planet.
We do, however, have to realize that some 65 million years ago, a massive space rock smashed into our planet kick starting the extinction of the predominant species on the planet back then: Dinosaurs.
But if we look back at Earth and asteroids, in 2013, the Russian Chelyabinsk meteor collided with our planet entering at a shallow able of 60 times the speed of sound.
Upon ‘touching’ Earth’s atmosphere, the ‘alien rock’ exploded in an air burst.
Scientists found that the size of the space rock –before it made contact with Earth’s atmosphere and exploded— was around 20 meters across, weighing around 13,000 metric tons. While this isn’t a BIG asteroid, it had sufficient power to injure thousands of people and damage to 15,000 buildings in the region.
Just imagine what would happen if an object of 200 meters smashed into Earth?
So where should mankind go to?
Well, if we are to ensure our species continues to live on, we need to head to the stars.
However, before we venture out of our solar system, it is imperative that we start colonizing anything that’s close to Earth.
This is where Mars comes into play. According to an interview in 2013, at the Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital Conference Musk said: “Either we spread Earth to other planets, or we risk going extinct. An extinction event is inevitable, and we’re increasingly doing ourselves in. The goal is to improve rocket technology and space technology until we can send people to Mars and establish life on Mars.”
“Mars is a fixer-upper of a planet,” Musk said. “But we could make it work.” And honestly, even if we can’t make it work, it seems that we have no real choice but to try. Musk concludes, “I agree this is an unlikely outcome, but if we don’t keep improving technology every year, we won’t get there.”
Two Enormous Sunken Alien Bases Discovered on Google Earth
Two Enormous Sunken Alien Bases Discovered on Google Earth
During the past month or so, UFO hunters made two seemingly unrelated discoveries that immediately got added to the portfolio evidencing the signs of a strange, ancient presence on our planet. The controversial images were obtained through Google Maps, revealing two enormous underwater structures that conventional science cannot explain.
The next time you set your eyes upon a tall mountain, remind yourself that long ago, that gargantuan chunk of rock was on the bottom of the ocean. The face of the Earth is shaped by processes like erosion and accretion and what was once standing tall might now rest covered by the watery abyss. And since our planet is mostly covered with water, just imagine what things still lie unseen, hidden from our curious, collective gaze.
The first underwater edifice was spotted on July 15 by YouTube user MEXICOGEEK just off the coast of the Gulf of California and conspiracy theorists are already calling the remains of a massive alien city. Measuring over 70 miles in length, the strange structure looks like it was constructed with geometric patterns in mind. Its symmetry and straight lines stretching for tens of miles seem to rule out any natural formation, favoring the intelligently-designed hypothesis.
UFO Sightings Daily’s Scott C. Waring believes this alien base is connected to all the UFO sightings coming out of Mexico and the .Central and South America
“This base is huge and it’s no wonder why we hear about so many UFO sightings over Mexico,” he writes. “This base is just 45 miles away from the Mexican coast. The chances of this being an intelligently-made structure… I put that at 100 percent.”
t’s interesting to note the similarity between the structure’s arrangement and that of an airport’s landing strips when viewed from above. However, the sheer size of the tubular structures that make up the underwater network means they must have served a different purpose. It is unfortunate that we might never know what that purpose was, but unless the scientific community decides to investigate the matter in a thorough, transparent way, we’ll remain clueless. Coordinates for the underwater base here.
he second place of interest can be found near the coast of Venezuela, halfway between Curacao and Puerto Rico (Coordinates here). It has an even stranger, more discrepant architecture consisting of zigzag lines. In terms of size, it is just as massive as the one from the Gulf of California, measuring approximately 90 miles from tip to tip. But the strangest characteristic has to be its shape. What geological processes could have produced such an odd contour, exhibiting symmetry, straight lines and 90-degree angles? Is it even reasonable to comfortably assume this underwater structure is natural?
Furthermore, the mystery is compounded by another set of structural artifacts resting just 50 miles northeast of the Venezuela anomaly (coordinates). Due to its proximity, this secondary irregularity appears to be connected to the first one. Images suggest it is composed of a string of rectangular structures spread across the ocean floor in a straight line. Virtually nothing is known about these mysterious sunken objects, save for the fact that they must be huge. They are located quite close to the Bermuda Triangle’s southernmost tip but there isn’t enough data for a connection to be made.
The enigma of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena wouldn’t be complete without taking into account USOs or unidentified submerged objects. It is very possible that UFOs and USOs are the same craft, the only difference being that the latter have been spotted entering or exiting aquatic environments. Since it makes sense for an extraterrestrial presence to place its base and perform its activities undisturbed by human eyes, what place could be better than the bottom of the ocean? If UFOs are capable of traversing cosmic distances with the help of faster than light travel, surviving the pressure of the oceanic depths seems an easy task.
So if Earth’s seas and oceans are harboring otherworldly visitors, could these two anomalies be still operational? If so, they could be responsible for the numerous UFO sightings reported on or around the American continents. These places would make a great starting point in our search for alien life here on Earth. Even if they were operational a long time ago and have since been deserted, compelling evidence could still be found.
If the structures are artificial but were not made by aliens, the mystery shifts but retains its intensity. Our current technological level wouldn’t allow us to build such complex underwater constructions, meaning that whoever built them was far more advanced than we are. Both of the areas where the anomalies were discovered have been submerged for millions of years and the dynamics of the seabed would have erased all signs of their existence had they been built before the area was covered with water.
In the end, no-one can say for sure what these structures are and, until someone goes on an underwater expedition James Cameron style, the puzzle will remain unanswered.
Veel wensen doen? Kijk dan de komende nachten naar de hemel
Veel wensen doen? Kijk dan de komende nachten naar de hemel
De komende nachten is er een verhoogde kans om vallende sterren te zien. Verschillende meteorenzwermen en losse meteoren dringen door tot in de dampkring. Vandaag wordt een piek verwacht van 20 meteoren per uur.
De vallende sterren zijn ook volgende week nog te zien, maar het aantal per uur neemt dan geleidelijk af. Zo rond 8 augustus neemt het aantal meteoren weer toe. Op 12 augustus kunnen we een heuse meteorenregen van de Perseïden verwachten met liefst 72 meteoren per uur.
Bekendste
De meteorenzwerm van de Perseïden is de bekendste in Nederland, vanwege het hoge aantal vallende sterren en vanwege het feit dat veel mensen vakantie hebben.
Het lichtspoor van meteoren wordt niet alleen veroorzaakt doordat de stenen in brand vliegen. Het pad van de meteoor wordt door de hoge valsnelheid ook elektrisch geladen en bij het opheffen van het ladingsverschil komt licht vrij.
Piek
De komende nacht zijn de vallende sterren niet of nauwelijks te zien, meldt Weeronline. Alleen in het zuiden van Noord-Brabant en Limburg is kans op enkele opklaringen. Het goede nieuws is dat de piek het hele weekend aanhoudt. De kans op opklaringen is de volgende twee nachten een stuk groter.
Tijdens de nacht van zaterdag op zondag zijn er in het hele land opklaringen mogelijk. Met om 03.00 uur een piek van 21 vallende sterren per uur is er een behoorlijke kans om een wens te mogen doen. De nacht van zondag op maandag is waarschijnlijk nog beter.
A United Arab Emirates witness at Dubai reported photographing an unusual light that appeared to hover over a workplace building with lights forming a triangle shape, according to testimony in Case 76996 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was at “Bin Ladin Signal near the police station” about 3 a.m. on June 11, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“The first thing I saw was the light,” the witness stated. “I thought it was an airplane or star, but when I looked more, it moved very fast and from different directions the craft was three – and came together forming a triangle shape.”

The craft stayed in place for several minutes.
“Then about 10 minutes later, the craft changed direction and flew different ways so I quickly try to record, but my mobile battery is not charged to record video, so I took some pictures with my phone before the battery died.”

The witness included three images with the MUFON report, which was filed on June 12, 2016.
“During this process I can see some highway lights and stop. Then I was so scared to even go home. When I got home, I charged my mobile and zoomed in on the picture to understand the shape. I got home and I feel confused, so that is why I try to look for a site to report this.”
Cropped and enlarged Witness Image 3.

The witness has seen unusual lights in the past.
“Also, this is the second time I saw that at my company. I was doing over-time at night when a big light moved across my company around 1:30 a.m. I was scared and I stopped work instantly. So the following day I asked my manager to tell my boss to get CCRV cameras to install around the company, but since then I didn’t see any, because I work inside the company.”

UFO IN MEXICO SCHIET RAKELINGS LANGS PASSAGIERSVLIEGTUIG ( VIDEO )
UFO IN MEXICO SCHIET RAKELINGS LANGS PASSAGIERSVLIEGTUIG ( VIDEO )
De laatste tijd zijn er weer opvallend veel waarnemingen van UFO’s in de buurt van verkeersvliegtuigen.
Onlangs was er ook het voorval in Turkije en nu schiet een UFO in Mexico rakelings langs een passagierstoestel.
Waar we in Turkije de bemanning van het vliegtuig hadden die verklaarde dat er een vreemd object rakelings over hun Boeing 737 vloog, is daar in het volgende geval geen sprake van.
We hebben geen idee of de bemanning van het verkeerstoestel in Mexico iets heeft opgemerkt, want de waarneming van de UFO gebeurde vanaf de grond.
Het voorval vond plaats in Trujillo in Mexico, ergens vorige week. Iemand filmde het vliegtuig toen er plotseling van achteren een UFO in beeld kwam. Zo te zien kwam deze even poolshoogte nemen, schoot rakelings achter het vliegtuig langs en liet deze vervolgens achter zich met zo’n duizelingwekkende snelheid dat het leek alsof het vliegtuig niet bewoog.
De onderstaande video zou bijzonder interessant zijn voor luchtvaartautoriteiten, ook om te zien of een dergelijk object op hun radarschermen verschijnt.
Waarschijnlijk niet, want onze gebruikte radartechnologie is ondertussen al ongeveer 60 jaar hetzelfde en wie of wat de controle heeft over de UFO zal ongetwijfeld manieren hebben om onzichtbaar te blijven voor onze gangbare systemen.
Nooit of te nimmer zul je dit soort beelden aantreffen in het acht uur journaal of bij één, twee of drie vandaag.
Eigenlijk hilarisch. Iedereen kan dit soort dingen met eigen ogen aanschouwen en toch zeggen overheden dat ze niet bestaan, dus zien we ze niet en wie ze wel ziet, is een aluhoedje die ze ziet vliegen.
Welkom op de meest maffe planeet in dit zonnestelsel.

Glowing UFO Over Newcastle, England On July 26, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 26, 2016 Location of sighting: Newcastle, England Maker of video: Thirdphaseofmoon This is a great video by Third Phase of Moon of Youtube. It shows a glowing triangular UFO with a cloud cloak surrounding it. This was seen at Newcastle during the sunset, which is the most common time to see UFOs. The setting sun hits the UFO at just the right angle, causing the UFO to become visible for between 45 seconds to 15 minutes. I do believe the time is a mistake that was reported as 2:20...it does look later...I'm thinking sunset time. The glowing orange is actually caused not by the UFO itself, but by the setting sun hitting it. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Thirdphaseofmoon states: Quote From Cat Roberts "Hey! I caught this video the other day. I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne, around 2:20 pm. Never seen anything like it. It was a lot bigger to see in person, it was very unusual and I haven't seen anything like that before. I had food shopping with me at the time, I stopped recording to put the food in the freezer and went back out. It was still there but it quickly disappeared like it sucked in on itself. "
UFO Over Las Vegas Said To Be Chinese Rocket Reentry, Can We Believe The Gov? July 27, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Over Las Vegas Said To Be Chinese Rocket Reentry, Can We Believe The Gov? July 27, 2016, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: July 27, 2016 Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA I noticed that the world news is trying hard to make the public believe that what was seen over Las Vegas was just a Chinese rocket, but I find that extremely hard to believe. Why? Because most rockets and satellites often have devices to help power the long term flight of such craft...these batteries are often nuclear. If the rocket was carrying a Chinese satellite in it as it fell, America would be in panic over the nuclear fall out of all the hazardous material, but America doesn't seem to care. Also if it was a rocket, it could be a nuclear rocket test to see if a Chinese Nuke would make it to America and how to prevent it from being shot down by pretending its just a failed space mission. If this was true, then there is a conspiracy within the conspiracy. Also with a tall whites alien base a Nellis AFB, this is very possible a tall white ship coming it to land at its base, which is located at the end of the old rifle range at Nellis AFB.
America seemed to take no precautions,which means this was not a rocket, but a UFO of unknown origin. This UFO was seen all across Nevada this week, many of the eyewitnesses swearing it was a UFO. So...who are you going to believe? Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

YouTube Channel Features “Leaked” Video From NASA Showing UFO in Jupiter’s Orbit
YouTube Channel Features “Leaked” Video From NASA Showing UFO in Jupiter’s Orbit
A YouTube video entice a lot of viewers with its claim that it shows leaked footage from the NASA Juno probe. The footage, which supposedly a secret, shows a mysterious UFO orbiting Jupiter. NASA probe apparently recorded the footage that is featured in the viral video, which has been viewed nearly 200,000 times.
In the description of the YouTube clip, it says that the Juno captured a strange UFO floating over the giant red spot for a few minutes before leaving in deep space.
Last February 2016, a man claimed to have spotted a massive structure moving in the direction of Europa, one of the largest moons of Jupiter. Some UFO hunters believe that the enormous structure, which resembles an interstellar mothership or the so-called intergalactic ship, has something to do with space aliens.
There has been a lot of research about the likelihood of alien life existence in the vast oceans under its icy surface. The probability increases speculations that aliens are hiding behind Jupiter. However, for alien followers/enthusiasts who want to find a real UFO video recorded in deep space, this is probably not the case.
YouTube channel Section 51 2.0 is known to make hoax videos. Many people think that the video sharing channel has done several clips using CGI animation. It also suspiciously blocks comments on most of its videos.
Real UFO investigators hate hoax videos as they can damage the credibility of genuine research. Section 51 2.0 is also being accused of only after the funds on advertising revenue from thousands of viewers in its videos.
Contacting Section 51 2.0 to get their reactions on the allegations towards them has failed.
Science-fiction author Stephen Baxter co-wrote the "A Time Odyssey" series of books with Arthur C. Clarke, author of "2001: A Space Odyssey." More recently, Baxter teamed up with author Alastair Reynolds to write "The Medusa Chronicles" (Saga Press, 2016) which expands on a short story Clarke wrote in 1971.
Baxter was inspired to write this piece for Space.com after he drew heavily from Clarke's spaceship designs for that work; in the pages of fiction and in the real world, Clarke "was a postwar visionary regarding possible spacecraft designs and purposes," Baxter told Space.com.
It's the year 2099. What do spaceships look like? The great science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke had some pretty visionary — yet surprisingly realistic — ideas.

"The Medusa Chronicles," a book I co-authored with Alastair Reynolds, is a sequel to Clarke's 1971 novella "A Meeting with Medusa," a saga of the exploration of space (and, specifically, of Jupiter). In the course of drafting the book, we had a lot of fun with speculative spacecraft designs, drawing heavily on Clarke's wider work.
Thus, in the year 2099, our hero Howard Falcon flies "Discovery"-class, interplanetary, fusion-propelled ships — a nod to Clarke's "2001" series (1968 onward). And by 2284, he uses more advanced "Goliath"-class ships — a reference to "The Hammer of God" (1993), as well as an homage to later entries in the "2001" series. [Gallery: Visions of Interstellar Starship Travel]
Clarke was a real-world spaceflight visionary, but he never forgot his boyhood science-fiction dreams. And that background is reflected in his fiction.
Born in 1917, Clarke had grown up with gaudy and mostly impractical pulp-era visions of spaceflight. But as a young man, working with early space-advocacy bodies such as the British Interplanetary Society (BIS), he contributed to speculative but realistic designs of craft capable of interplanetary travel, as documented in his highly readable nonfiction survey "Interplanetary Flight" (1950) as well as in his fiction.
Thus, Clarke's 1951 novel "The Sands of Mars" featured what may have been the first reasonably realistic fictional depiction of a spacecraft powered by a fusion rocket. Earlier writers, such as Olaf Stapledon, had vaguely described spaceflight using nuclear energy, but Clarke gave precise numbers for his spaceliner Ares, which he described as flying in the 1990s, capable of a 100-day trip to Mars.
Ares is a luxurious passenger liner that includes a dining hall measuring about 400 feet (120 meters) across. The design is a dumbbell — similar to the later Discovery of "2001" (1968). There is a main sphere with a radius of about 200 feet (60 m) containing passenger cabins and a lower hemisphere that's "almost entirely fuel." A 330-foot (100 m) strut connects the main sphere to the smaller engine sphere. Ares is an "atomic rocket," and specifically fusion-driven: "The forces that powered the stars themselves were being unleashed," clarke wrote. And the dumbbell design is logical, with the inhabited sections positioned as far as possible from the leaked radiation of the engine.

Where Clarke gives specific numbers, they are sensible. To drive the ship out of high Earth orbit, the engines of Ares burn for 11 hours at 5 percent the acceleration of Earth's gravity, and then Ares coasts for 100 days to Mars and decelerates. You can work out that after such a journey, 1.1 astronomical units (AU) would have been traveled — a reasonable distance for an Earth-Mars flight. (One AU is the average distance from the Earth to the sun — 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.) Clarke doesn't give a specific mass breakdown, but a reasonable estimate is that the engine's exhaust velocity would be several hundred kilometers per second. That's well within the anticipated performance of fusion engines; the uncrewed starship of the BIS'Daedalus design had an exhaust velocity of 9,000 km/s (5,600 miles per second). Clarke's spacecraft always had reasonable and consistent designs — a lesson for any budding hard-sci-fi writer.
But, with time, those designs evolved.
Arthur C Clarke - Fractals - The Colors Of Infinity
While we worked on "Medusa," I took the chance to re-read the four books of the Odyssey series: "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968); "2010: Odyssey Two" (1982); "2061: Odyssey Three" (1987); and "3001: The Final Odyssey" (1997). And I was very struck by how Clarke's visions of spacecraft developed over the course of those books.
Although the movie "2001" was first screened the same year Apollo 8 circled the moon, its vision was a sort of summary of older dreams of spaceflight — including Clarke's own. The space clippers and great rotating space wheels were straight out of a blueprint that German aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun had been developing for NASA since the 1950s, while the beautiful, elegant Discovery is a classic Clarke dumbbell shape.
But by the time "2010" was published in 1982, the last Apollo mission was already 10 years in the past, and the space shuttle had just begun flying; we had learned what space is really like. In the story, a new spacecraft, called Leonov, goes to Jupiter to retrieve the lost Discovery. The contrast between the old and new spacecraft is very striking — visually so in the movie. Leonov is an expression of the reality of spaceflight as it had been experienced: It is cramped, uncomfortable, squat and ugly — and there's certainly no gravity-inducing carousel. When the two spacecraft dock, it's a collision of post-Apollo reality with pre-Apollo dreams, as if two universes were overlapping. [Arthur C. Clarke: Luminaries Pay Tribute]
But by "3001," thanks to the advanced-physics "inertial drive," more extravagant spacecraft designs became possible. With a craft that can travel at several thousand kilometers per second, even the very sparse interplanetary dust is a significant hazard, and streamlining and shielding are necessary. And so the old pulp-magazine fantasies of Clarke's boyhood are back, as Clarke says explicitly through a character in the novel. As reincarnated "2001" astronaut Frank Poole puts it, "Do you know what Goliath reminds me of? … When I was a boy, I came across a whole pile of old science-fiction magazines that my Uncle George had abandoned — 'pulps', they were called … They had wonderful garish covers, showing strange planets and monsters — and of course, spaceships! As I grew older, I realised how ridiculous those spaceships were. They were usually rocket-driven — but there was never any sign of propellant tanks! Some of them had rows of windows from stem to stern, just like ocean liners. There was one favourite of mine with a huge glass dome — a space-going conservatory … Well, those old artists had the last laugh … Goliath looks more like their dreams than the flying fuel-tanks we used to launch from the Cape."
Though the "2001" books were obviously written within the span of a single lifetime, they date from different epochs. There is an immense gulf especially between the first two books. As Clarke noted in his foreword to "2010," "2001" was written in an age that now lies beyond one of the Great Divides in human history; we are sundered from it forever by the moment when Neil Armstrongset foot upon the Moon [in 1969]." But Clarke's visionary work — as refined and updated by such studies as the BIS' current fusion-ship study Project Icarus — still stands as a bridge between the fantastic dreams of the past and the practicalities of the future.

Asteroid Defense: Scanning the Sky for Threats From Space

Earth is hit every day by small bits of space dust. Slightly larger chunks burn up colorfully in the atmosphere, causing the shooting stars you see in the sky. Occasionally even bigger rocks hit our atmosphere; they are known as fireballs, because the light from them burning up is particularly bright. These tend to smack the Earth a few times a year and may produce a few fragments for rock-hunters to find.
NASA and other organizations do regular scans of the sky to catalog any small bodies that are at risk of crashing into our planet. No imminently threatening bodies have been found yet, but it's clear that sooner or later Earth will be struck by something big. The organizations are actively researching the best ways to protect Earth from asteroids, meteoroids or comets that may come crashing down
Asteroids refer principally to small, rocky bodies. Comets contain more ice and can also pose a threat to Earth. Before fragments enter our atmosphere, they are known as meteroids. During their path in the atmosphere, they are called meteors. If any of these pieces reach the ground, those pieces are called meteorites. The best hunting ground on Earth for meteorites is Antarctica because the ice makes it so easy to see the fragments, and the ground is not disturbed as much as a typical urban area or forest.
The difference between a meteroid and an asteroid is a little vague. In 1961, The International Astronomical Union (the official body for naming objects in space) said a meteroid is much smaller than an asteroid, but bigger than an atom. A 2010 Meteoritics and Planetary Science paper led by Alan Rubin, a geophysicist at the University of California, Los Angeles, suggested that the limit for meteoroids be about 1 meter in size.
This is the trail of Chelyabinsk asteroid which exploded about 14 miles above ground with a force nearly 30 times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb in 2013.

Characterizing the threat
It is clear that even small bodies can pose a threat; the asteroid that broke up over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in 2013 was roughly 56 feet (17 meters) across, shattering glass and injuring hundreds of people. In 1908, an estimated 130-foot (40-meter) object exploded over Siberia and flattened trees over 825 square miles (2,137 square kilometers). Around 50,000 years ago, before human civilization began, a rock about 150 feet wide (46 meters) smacked into what is now called Arizona. It left behind Meteor Crater, which is roughly 0.7 miles (1.2 kilometers) wide today.
Even bigger collisions happened far in the past. The dinosaurs were wiped out 66 million years ago by an object about 6 miles (10 km) wide, which left behind a 110-mile (180 km) crater in Mexico known as Chicxulub. But that's nothing compared to evidence of another impactor found in 2014. A rock formation in our planet's crust pointed to a possible impactor 23 to 36 miles (37 to 58 kilometers) across that smacked into Earth 3.26 billion years ago, just a few million years after life evolved.
NASA began tracking near-Earth objects (NEOs) in the 1970s. Its goal is to find objects that are at least tens of meters in size, “which could cause significant harm to populated areas on the Earth if they were to strike without warning,” NASA stated in 2014.
Congress directed NASA in 1994 to find at least 90 percent of potentially hazardous NEOs larger than 0.62 miles (1 kilometer) in diameter, which NASA fulfilled in 2010. Congress also asked NASA in 2005 to find at least 90 percent of potentially hazardous NEOs that are 460 feet (140 meters) in size or larger. That's supposed to be finished by 2020. NASA created a Planetary Defense Coordination Office in 2014 — a year after Chelyabinsk — to better coordinate its efforts, in response to an Office of the Inspector General report. Other space agencies such as the European Space Agency also have their own offices, and the different nations regularly collaborate with each other.

Scanning the sky
NASA works with several sky surveys to maintain a list of potentially hazardous objects. These include the Catalina Sky Survey (University of Arizona), Pan-STARRS (University of Hawaii), Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research or LINEAR (Massachussetts Institute of Technology) and Spacewatch (University of Arizona). These observatories are constantly upgrading their capabilities to try to catch fainter asteroids.
Asteroids are also observed from space by several telescopes, but the one most regularly used for NEO searches is called NEOWISE. It's the new mission of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope, which launched in 2009 and was revived from hibernation in 2013 to search for asteroids. The telescope is expected to keep operating until 2017, when the angle from the sun in its orbit will be too bright to search for asteroids. A follow-up mission called Near Earth Object Camera (NEOCam) has been proposed for 2021, but is competing against five other missions for funding. Mission selection will be announced in September 2016.
There are other NASA missions that are looking to get up close to asteroids to better characterize their composition. Some recent examples: The Dawn mission visited asteroid Vesta between 2011 and 2012, and has now been at Ceres (a dwarf planet) since 2015. OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer) is expected to depart for asteroid Bennu in 2018 for a sample-return mission, which will come back to Earth in 2023. Additionally, NASA uses data available from other space agency missions that visited asteroids, such as the Japanese Hayabusa (completed) and Hayabusa 2 (in progress).
Some planned missions will take even more daring steps at asteroids. NASA has been working on concepts for an Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) that would have a robot move a small body into the moon's orbit, for astronauts to study. Also: NASA, the European Space Agency and other partners are planning a mission called AIDA, or Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment. The goal is to change the path of a small moon orbiting the asteroid Didymos using a kinetic impactor.
A kinetic impactor (perhaps with a nuclear bomb inside) would deflect the orbit, tugging the asteroid slowly using a spacecraft, redirecting it with solar heat, or blasting it with a laser. That is just one idea. There is ongoing research as to what sort of asteroid deflection technique would be best. The best approach depends on many factors, such as cost, the composition of the asteroid, time to impact and technology maturity. Studies are ongoing in these fields; in 2007, NASA said that non-nuclear kinetic impactors had the most mature technology.
Scientists have created the first map of a colossal supercluster of galaxies known as Laniakea, the home of Earth's Milky Way galaxy and many other. This computer simulation, a still from a Nature journal video, depicts the giant supercluster, with the Milky Way's location shown as a red dot.
In space, we're used to dealing with large distances and objects. In the cosmic scheme of things, Earth is rather small. Even in our solar system, we are easily dwarfed by the planet Jupiter (more than 1,000 Earths would fit in the planet, according to NASA) and our sun (more than a million Earths would fit in there, according to Cornell University).
Even our sun looks puny when it is compared to the biggest stars we know of. The sun is a G-type star, a yellow dwarf — pretty average-size on the cosmic scale. But some “hypergiant” stars are much, much larger. Perhaps the biggest star known is UY Scuti, which could fit more than 1,700 of our suns. It is only about 30 times more massive, however, so that shows that mass and size don't necessarily correlate in space.
Progressing up the list of big cosmic objects, other things to consider are black holes and in particular, supermassive black holes that typically reside in the center of a galaxy. (Our Milky Way hosts one that is about 4 million times the mass of the sun.) The biggest supermassive black hole is roughly 21 billion times the sun's mass, and lives in the Coma Cluster, which includes more than 1,000 galaxies.
As the last paragraph hints, there are things out there bigger than even supermassive black holes. Galaxies are collections of star systems and all that is inside those systems (such as planets, stars, asteroids, comets, dwarf planets, gas, dust and more). Our own Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across, NASA says; a light-year is the distance light travels in a year. It's difficult to characterize what the largest galaxies are, because they don't really have precise boundaries, but the largest galaxies we know of are millions of light-years across.
Now at last we are starting to approach the biggest structures in the universe. Galaxies are often bound to each other gravitationally in groups that are called galaxy clusters. (The Milky Way, for example, is part of the small Local Group that comprises about two dozen galaxies, including the Andromeda Galaxy.) At first glance, astronomers thought that these structures were the biggest thing out there. In the 1980s, however, astronomers realized that groups of galaxy clusters are also connected by gravity and connected in a supercluster.
What is the biggest supercluster?
The biggest supercluster known in the universe is the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall. It was first reported in 2013 and has been studied several times by teams led by the same person. It's so big that light takes about 10 billion years to move across the structure. For perspective, the universe is only 13.7 billion years old.
The structure first came to light as the research team (led by Istvan Horvath, with the National University of Public Service in Hungary) was looking at brief cosmic phenomena known as gamma-ray bursts. It is thought that they come from supernovas, or massive stars that explode at the end of their lifetimes.
Gamma-ray bursts are thought to be a good indication of where huge masses of stuff lie in the universe, because big stars tend to congregate in dense areas. The first survey showed gamma rays particularly concentrated about 10 billion light-years away in the direction of the Hercules and Corona Borealis constellations.
But it's a puzzle as to just how that big structure actually came to be. A 2013 article from Discovery News (a partner site to Space.com) pointed out that this structure appeared to go against a principle of cosmology, or how the universe formed and evolved. Specifically, this principle says that matter should be uniform when seen at a large enough scale. The cluster, however, is not uniform.
“I would have thought this structure was too big to exist. Even as a coauthor, I still have my doubts,” Jon Hakkila, an astronomy researcher at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, said in a 2014 press release. He said there is a very small chance the researchers saw a random number of gamma-rays in that location, but it is far less than one in 100.
“Thus we believe that the structure exists,” he added. “There are other structures that appear to violate universal homogeneity: the Sloan Great Wall and the Huge Large Quasar Group ... are two. Thus, there may very well be others, and some could indeed be bigger. Only time will tell.”
Physicists assert that they have observed quantum spin liquid state again; however, this time, they have done so in a material where it was thought to be impossible. If verified, it could transform how we understand quantum computing.
Back in April, the physics world freaked out when scientists confirmed that they’d made the first direct observation of a brand-new state of matter – known as quantum spin liquid – for the first time.
But now a team of physicists has just announced that they’ve observed quantum spin liquid state again… and this time in a material where it should be impossible.
The discovery could change our understanding of how to make quantum computing work.
“We have proved empirically that interesting quantum states like spin liquids can also occur in considerably more complex crystals with different constellations of magnetic interactions,”said lead researcher Christian Balz, from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) in Germany.
“This could be important for the advancement of quantum computers in the future because spin liquids are one of the possible building blocks for carrying the smallest unit of quantum information, known as a qubit,” added one of the senior researchers Bella Lake.
Let’s back up a second, because all this isn’t as confusing as it sounds.
WHAT IS QUANTUM SPIN?
Spin in the quantum world doesn’t actually mean an electron is physically spinning. It refers to a type of intrinsic angular momentum that simply describes how an electron is behaving. In quantum computing we often simplify this by saying the spin state is down, up, or in superposition (both at the same time).
Quantum spin liquid is a state of matter that, very simply, occurs when the spin of electrons continue to fluctuate in a fluid manner even at very low temperatures, when they should be frozen in place.
It’s like atoms inside regular materials. When they’re in a fluid state, they’re moving freely. But when temperatures drop, they’ll freeze in place in a solid arrangement. That should happen with spin orientation in magnetic materials, but in quantum spin liquid state, it doesn’t.
That discovery made a lot of sense, because the material fit our understanding of how spin liquid state arises.
Basically, the criteria is that a material has to have has anti-ferromagnetic – or antiparallel – interactions, which, as the name suggests, is the opposite to ferromagnetic interactions in materials such as iron and nickel.
It means that if one electron has a ‘down’ spin, the one next to it has to have an ‘up’ spin, and so on.
Anti-ferromagnetic materials on their own don’t necessarily enter quantum spin liquid state, unless they also happen to have a triangular atomic arrangement, which makes this alignment impossible.
So, just imagine three atoms at the corner of a triangle – they’re never all going to be in parallel alignments because as soon as one changes to match the one to its right, the one on its left will have to change, and so on and so on. They’ll keep flipping their alignment even at absolute zero temperature – hence, quantum spin liquid state.
But the new research suggests that our criteria isn’t quite right, because the German team were able to observe the new state of matter occurring in a material that doesn’t fit that profile.
THE IMPOSSIBLE SPIN?
The material in question is a monocrystal of calcium chromium oxide (Ca10Cr7O28).
Calcium-chromium oxide is made up of what are known as Kagomé lattices – named after the pattern of triangles and hexagons woven in Japanese baskets.
Basically that means the material has a complex mix of anti-ferromagnetic interactions, but also much stronger ferromagnetic interactions, which, according to conventional understanding, should prevent quantum spin liquid behaviour.
But through a range of scattering and spectrometry experiments in Germany, France, England, Switzerland, and the US, the team was able to show that this wasn’t the case – quantum spin liquid state was happening even at temperatures as low as 20 millikelvin (around –273 degrees Celsius).
So what’s going on here? Fortunately, the team has already come up with a hypothesis to explain why this material could behave like a quantum spin liquid without breaking our conventional understanding of the state of matter.
Using numerical simulations, they’ve shown that competition is the key to the strange behaviour – different magnetic interactions in the materials are competing with each other, and keeping the spins flip-flopping around.
You can see that happening in the illustration below, which shows the competing interactions on each atom (the grey and black balls). The green and red sticks represent ferromagnetic interactions, while the blue sticks represent anti-ferromagnetic interactions, which are forcing the spins to keep changing.
HZB
“The work expands our understanding of magnetic materials, and also shows us that there are potentially far more candidates for spin liquids than expected,”said Lake.
The research has been published in Nature Physics, and now needs to be verified by other teams before we say for sure that quantum spin liquid state can exist in these new types of materials.
But it’s a pretty exciting study that hugely widens the potential pool of materials that we could use in future to build quantum computers.

Lake Champlain boater describes UFO emitting objects to ground level
A Vermont witness at Lake Champlain reported watching a cigar-shaped UFO that appeared to drop “three or four unknown orbs” that fell to the ground level, according to testimony in Case 77749 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness first saw the cigar-shaped object slowly crossing the sky over Shelburne Bay, pictured.

The witness was on his boat in Lake Champlain in the middle of Shelburne Bay at 4 p.m. on July 10, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“I looked up and saw the unknown object slowly flying across the sky,” the witness stated.“I called the attention of my sister and father who joined me in observing the object.”
As the group watched, the object emitted several smaller objects.
“I observed it drop about three or four unknown orbs which fell to the ground out of sight from where we were.”
The object hovered and then dropped several orb-like objects to the ground level.

The hovering object then remained in place for a short time.
“The object then hovered in the same spot for about 20 minutes before it disappeared. I recall the object being white and the orbs it dropped also being white. However, my sister recalls the object and the orbs being black. My father thought it was a blimp and was quick to brush off the thought of a UFO. We saw the unknown craft again hovering over a spot closer to us when we traveled north into Burlington Bay. The craft quickly vanished again after that.”
Lake Champlain is a natural freshwater lake in North America, located mainly within the borders of the United States in the states of Vermont and New York.
The object hovered for 20 minutes before moving away. Pictured: Shelburne Bay.

20 VRAGEN OM VAST TE STELLEN OF JE BUITENAARDS BENT
20 VRAGEN OM VAST TE STELLEN OF JE BUITENAARDS BENT
Er lopen regelmatig mensen rond op deze planeet die hoewel ze misschien geboren zijn in een klein boerengehucht toch zeggen afkomstig te zijn van een andere planeet.
Deze mensen weten dat en voor al diegenen die dit ook graag zouden willen weten, volgt hier een test om uit te vinden of ook jij misschien buitenaards bent.
Onderzoeker en auteur Scott Mandelker houdt zich al lang bezig met onderzoek onder mensen die zeggen dat ze van buiten de aarde komen. Zo heeft hij een boek geschreven met de titel From Elsewhere, waarin de levens van 25 verschillende mensen onder de loep worden genomen en wordt beschreven hoe ze tot het besef zijn gekomen dat ze niet van deze aarde zijn.
Scott is dan ook bij uitstek geschikt om te bepalen of je wel of niet van deze aarde bent. Om dat vast te kunnen stellen, heeft hij een lijst gemaakt met 20 verschillende vragen die hieronder volgen.
Voor iedere vraag die je met “ja” kunt beantwoorden geef je jezelf vijf punten. Voor iedere vraag die je beantwoord met “ zo ongeveer” of “een beetje” geef je jezelf drie punten. De resultaten zijn onderaan de lijst te zien.

We have heard about the fleet of UFOs frequently seen passing over the cities of Mexico a few years ago. It seems that it has never stopped. Here I see a fleet of black UFOs moving past a church and continuing to hover slowly away. Each photos is 2 minutes apart and I got 19 photos from the cam. That means this sightings started at 07:16:03 in the morning and it ended at 7:54:03. Thats a UFO fleet taking 38 minutes to pass over the city, but since it happened so early in the morning, few if any people probably saw it. I put the photos together and made a gif of it to make it easier to see below. The objects are round, dark and slow. They have no wings at all, and trade exceptionally slow at times, which rules out birds. Even with a bright sunrise on the other side of them, no light travels through them...this is evidence that they are not transparent...they have a hard solid surface that is not thin...which rules out balloons. This is one of the legendary UFO fleets over Mexico. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

UFO Buzzes Passanger Jet Over Trujillo, Peru On July 22, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 22, 2016 Location of sighting: Trujillo, Peru
A person in Trujillo, Peru captured some amazing footage of a UFO close to a passenger jet last week. The glowing object passes near the plane and then moves on a a high rate of speed. This should be an important video for the FAA since this object could have hit the plane and caused it to crash. I don't think that the planes radar even saw it, which goes to show that todays radar technology is basically the same as its been for the last 60 years. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Ancient Aliens – The Prototypes History Channel, Season 11, Episode 10 22nd July 2016
Recent archaeological discoveries reveal a very different picture of what life on Earth looked like in the remote past. It was a real-life version of “Lord of the Rings,” where humans shared the planet with various different types of intelligent human-like species, such as Neanderthals, Denisovans, and even hobbits. But how is it that these various hominid species developed separately in isolated pockets of the globe? And why does no fossil evidence exist suggesting a slow gradual delineation from a common species? Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest these different intelligent species seem to have come straight out of the incubator, and that Earth itself may have served as an extraterrestrial laboratory. A laboratory where different human prototypes once existed–but only one species was chosen to survive. Is mankind the result of an extraterrestrial experiment?
NASA Livestream Reveals Codename For UFOs, Conspiracy Theorists Claim
NASA Livestream Reveals Codename For UFOs, Conspiracy Theorists Claim
Rumors are flying around the internet as an alleged nervous astronaut may have revealed NASA’s secret code word for a UFO unintentionally in a recent recording from the International Space Station.
According to the viewers of the video recording, it includes some fishy references to the gospel, a word that many think out of the ordinary for astronaut chatter.
“On a personal level I look forward to this partnership with the gospel, really around the world,” the astronaut can be heard saying, likely from the voice of Commander Jeff Williams.
Some UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists claim that the word ‘gospel’ could be the code word for aliens, and the astronaut was about to meet some space aliens 250 miles above Earth.
A mysterious dot of light can be seen on the video footage. They say that it is the UFO the astronauts were referring and discussing.
However, hoax-buster Scott Brando, who runs a UFO website, says it is nothing more than a lens flare or light reflection.
He exposes the light source reflection using a separate still from the live stream. He says the sunlight hitting a panel on the ISS causes the light reflection. He further explains that the light refracts inside the camera lens, and the anomaly is then exposed to the projected images.
But the mystery remains as to the possible reasons of the astronaut on speaking about the gospel.
Two Earth-size planets orbiting a nearby star are now confirmed to be rocky, strengthening the case that they might be habitable, a new study finds.
The atmospheres of these worlds may range from vanishingly thin, like that of Mars, to hellishly dense, like Venus' air — and, possibly, comfortably in between, like Earth's, the researchers said.
In May, astronomers reported the discovery of three Earth-size planetsorbiting a dim, cold, red star named TRAPPIST-1. This "ultracool dwarf" is located in the constellation Aquarius, about 39 light-years from Earth. (For comparison, Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system to our own, is about 4.3 light-years from Earth.) [10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]
Previous research found that TRAPPIST-1 is 2,000 times dimmer than the sun, a bit less than half as warm as the sun, about one-twelfth the sun's mass, and less than one-eighth the sun's width, making it only barely larger in diameter than Jupiter.

Ultracool dwarfs such as TRAPPIST-1 are very common in the Milky Way galaxy, making up about 15 percent of the stars near the sun. TRAPPIST-1's discoverers suggest that these kinds of stars may be the first places to look for life elsewhere in the universe, because they may be the only places where scientists using current technology can detect life on distant Earth-size planets.
Judging from the size and temperatures of the three planets around TRAPPIST-1, researchers previously suggested that regions on each world could be habitable — that is, have surfaces with just the right temperatures to harbor liquid water, a key ingredient of life as it is known on Earth. However, it was uncertain if these three planets were rocky worlds like Earth.
Now, TRAPPIST-1's discoverers have found that the star's two innermost worlds, TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c, are indeed primarily rocky planets.
The scientists made this new discovery by pointing NASA's Hubble Space Telescope at TRAPPIST-1 to catch a rare event on May 4: a double transit, when two planets — in this case, TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c — pass in front of their star at nearly the same time.
"We actually have the capabilities to study the atmosphere of potentially habitable worlds with a facility, Hubble, designed in the '70s, well before we started to detect exoplanets," said study lead author Julien de Wit, a planetary scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "This is just insanely exciting."
By analyzing the spectrum of light from the planets during the double transit, the researchers gained insight into both worlds simultaneously. This is the first time that scientists have used a double transit to study the atmospheric properties of two exoplanets at the same time, de Wit said.
"On May the 4th, the force was definitely with us," de Wit told Space.com, referencing the date's prominence as "Star Wars" Day.
The dips in TRAPPIST-1's light during the double transit involved a narrow range of wavelengths that did not vary much over that range. If these dips had varied significantly, this would have suggested that TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c have light, large, puffy atmospheres, similar to that of the gas giant Jupiter, the researchers said. Instead, the data suggest that both planets have more compact atmospheres, similar to those of rocky planets.
"Knowing that these planets are not 'mini gas giants' is a good thing, as they would have thus been uninhabitable, by our standards," de Wit said. "This double transit was a rare event that allowed us to kill two birds with one stone — to check if both these planets had large, puffy atmospheres or not."
It remains uncertain what specific kinds of atmospheres these planets do have. They could range from dense ones, like Venus'; to thin ones, like Mars'; to one more like Earth's.
"The next step is to try to disentangle all these possible scenarios that exist for these terrestrial planets," de Wit said in a statement.
TRAPPIST-1 was discovered using TRAPPIST (Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope) in Chile, a new kind of ground telescope designed to scan the sky for ultracool dwarfs. Now, the researchers have formed a consortium named SPECULOOS (Search for habitable Planets Eclipsing Ultra-cool Stars) and are building four larger versions of TRAPPIST in Chile to analyze the brightest ultracool dwarf stars in the skies over the Southern Hemisphere. They are also trying to raise money to build telescopes to scan the northern sky.
The scientists detailed their findings online today (July 20) in the journal Nature.
Scientists at Cornell University have determined that the chemical composition of Titan's atmosphere may allow life to evolve in a form that doesn't depend on water.
Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, is one of the most interesting bodies in the Solar System. It's the only other place we know of, besides Earth, that very likely holds liquid water, in the form of a vast underground ocean, and its surface is somewhat Earth-like, splotched with lakes, rivers and seas, albeit of liquid methane and ethane. Scientists at Cornell University have analyzed data of Titan's chemical composition and found that conditions could be right for non-water-based life to evolve, challenging our Earth-focused ideals of habitability.
Much of our hunt for extraterrestrial life is focused on searching within the Goldilocks Zone, the band around a star that's not too hot and not too cold, but just right for liquid water where life can take hold. It's a model based on the conditions that make Earth habitable, so finding Earth-like planets is a logical place to start.
But is it too limiting? With an atmosphere of nitrogen and methane, Titan is far from habitable by human standards, but different forms of life could comfortably call it home. The key is a chemical called hydrogen cyanide (HCN), a versatile molecule that reacts with a range of other chemicals to produce polymers such as polyimine, which is known to be a possible catalyst for life.
"Polyimine can exist as different structures, and they may be able to accomplish remarkable things at low temperatures, especially under Titan's conditions," says Martin Rahm, one of the authors of the paper.
HCN is produced as a result of sunlight hitting Titan's atmosphere, and data from NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission says it's abundant in the air – in fact, the huge vortex at the moon's south pole is composed of the chemical. That atmospheric chemistry lends itself to the possibility that life could arise in conditions we might otherwise rule out.
"We are used to our own conditions here on Earth," says Rahm. "Our scientific experience is at room temperature and ambient conditions. Titan is a completely different beast. We need to continue to examine this, to understand how the chemistry evolves over time. We see this as a preparation for further exploration. If future observations could show there is prebiotic chemistry in a place like Titan, it would be a major breakthrough. This paper is indicating that prerequisites for processes leading to a different kind of life could exist on Titan, but this only the first step."
“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.” ― Albert Einstein
In my ‘passionate curiosity’ in the teachings of spirituality, I find that it spirituality does not rely on religion however, there a lot of spiritual teachings to stem from religious beliefs. Imagine for one instant with an open mind a religion and its number one mission is to set you completely free that is spirituality. In my learnings I have found that Buddhism and Zen Buddhism are the closest religions that come to complete freedom.
This has only been in my experience up to this point, and I do not consider myself to want to be a Buddhist or coming remotely close in the future to be a Buddhist but do believe we all are Buddhas.
Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha) became enlightened when he sat under a tree for 7 days and meditated. Enlightenment was directly correlated with nirvana, the ultimate state of peace. Ultimate peace my friends is the ultimate freedom in this life.
The essence of how Siddhartha became enlightened, through meditation is the very basic foundation of most spiritual teachings in today’s day and age.
Mind
Some of the greatest spiritual masters of all time have spoken on the mind, and it a common denominator of just about every spiritual master who has ever lived from Hinduism to Zen, to the Advaita Vedanta speak of one truth and that all absolute reality, absolute truth is found when the thinking-mind has vanished.
To use the mind for practical reasons to make our way through this physical earth, but to allow the inner silence (inner you) to show you the way.
Many of Einstein’s words pointed to this truth.
“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me.” ― Albert Einstein
Again consider Buddha becoming enlightened from meditation. The very basic reality of meditation is to get rid of the mind. The mind can never be silent. The purpose of the mind is to think; so how could the mind be completely quiet?
In deep meditation there is no mind, and when there is no mind there is pure silence. It is in this pure silence where enlightenment is found, the absolute truth of reality. The absolute truth is inner reality and it is found in silence.
“I want to know God’s thoughts – the rest are mere details.” ― Albert Einstein
The way to know God’s thoughts are through the silence, through no-mind a very deep spiritual truth.
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. — Albert Einstein
Intellect can be correlated very closely with the ability and capacity to ‘think’. Einstein is saying that thinking has got the world very far, is a great tool that we have used however it is still none the less extremely limited. Even if the mind can’t comprehend God, so why should it be limited?
“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.” ― Albert Einstein
Another pointer talking about the limitations of the mind and regardless of the religion you believe in, let the foundation of your limitLESS spirit lead you on the pathless path of the journey towards inner absolute truth.
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein
The intuitive mind in absolute reality is no mind at all. Intuition is the answers that you get without comprehension from the silence. Society as a whole although in the very beginning awakening stages has built itself with belief that the mind is everything and is completely blind to the reality that intuition the silence is the greatest gift that we have been given in this lifetime.
Time
“Time is an illusion.” ― Albert Einstein
In the mind time does exist as in past, present and future. It is only in the mind however that time is linear. When you consider that in the thoughts of the mind as real as they may seem are merely an illusion. If thoughts are an illusion, then that means time itself can be nothing but an illusion.
In the universe, in absolute reality there is nothing other than presence. You can think about the word presence, but you cannot be fully present with every cell in your body through thought. Absolute presence can only happen when thought does not exist.
“The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.” ― Albert Einstein
When you consider the future in conceptual terms, you can look at it as a mysterious eternity. Nobody has actually ever experienced the future; you can only ever experience the present moment. And because the present moment which where all existence lies, it is the only place where ALL salvation, all enlightenment is found. It is only because of the mysterious that the present moment holds the power of existence itself hence the reason the mysterious is beautiful in the eyes of Einstein.
“Life is a preparation for the future; and the best preparation for the future is to live as if there were none.” ― Albert Einstein
When you make the present moment the only interest in your life, then life will continue to flow in the conceptualized future like a river of water in which every particle has peace within it’s being.
System
When you consider someone who’s mission in life it was to go as far away from the system as possible you can look to none other than Albert Einstein himself.
“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.” ― Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was not a fan of the education systems that were in place and was expelled from High School at the age of 16. In spirituality learning has far less to do with learning about the system that is in place specifically educations systems and much more to do with learning about who and what you are.
Education is very limited to dogmatic systems, things that don’t have anything do with how successful we will be, or how happy and peaceful in our lives are right now.
The truth of learning is in the deep inner reality of your soul and Einstein realized such.
“Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” ― Albert Einstein
Authority can smash its beliefs into you, and make you fearful that “If you do not listen to what I say, you will regret it.” The key term ‘blind’ closely relates to the absolute lack of awareness and unless someone is there to guide us to a new path of awareness, the truth will continue to be hidden.
In spirituality, the greatest truth is the awakening of your deep inner reality.
excellent article written by my colleague, the late Tomas Scolarici:
(QUOTE)
“The psychosocial hypothesis builds on the finding that most ufo reports have mundane explanations like celestial objects, airplane lights, balloons, and a host of other misperceived things seen in the sky which suggests the presence of an unusual emotional climate which distorts perceptions and the perceived significance and anomalousness of merely terrestrial stimuli.
In the more exotic situation where people claim direct contact with extraterrestrials, please CLICK AND READ THE FOLLOWING: PSYCHOSOCIAL HYPOTHESIS
THE PSYCHOSOCIAL HYPOTHESIS “is particularly popular among UFO researchers in the United Kingdom, such as David Clarke, Hilary Evans, the editors of Magoniamagazine, and many of the contributors to Fortean Times magazine. It is also popular in France since the publication in 1977 of a book written by Michel Monnerie “Et si les ovnis n’existaient pas?”(What if ufos do not exist?).
Now, what about UFOs?
First of all, 95 % of UFO sightings are recognized as natural or manmade phenomena. The 5 % are important only because of the UFO industry, ego-trips and fantasists. To speak about flying objects is conjectural. In my view, UFOs are not flying and are not objects. The UFO meme is strong enough for some people. A meme is “an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.” A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols or practices, which can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, videos, sounds, speech, gestures, rituals or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate and respond to selective pressures. I have no idea about whom or what is behind the phenomenon, but I am totally and absolutely convinced that the Extraterrestrial hypothesis is forged.
Until this very moment, there is no evidence of extraterrestrial intelligent life here or in any other place of the Universe. There is a relatively big but totally contradictory mythology concerning Extraterrestrials, without any kind of evidential or rational value. The presumed “extraterrestrial” messages are a sad mix of New Age, Pseudo-religion, self-help and very human ideas and prejudices. Abductions are mostly planted pseudo-memories and fantasies or self delusions.
After more than forty years of research in the field, writing and talking with many people of different ages, social positions and professions, this is a short synthesis of what I think about the UFO phenomenon.
For the Rational Ufologist, the UFO Phenomenon is an unsolved mystery, and because of this, Rational Ufology investigates the social, psychological and political impact of this phenomenon. Paradoxically, that 5 % of Unidentified Flying Objects that remain unidentified has asecondary importance.
The priority is given to the hypothesis about the origin and behavior of the UFO phenomenon, and also to the rational and logical interpretation of the mythology and pseudo-sciences created by the different interpretations of the enigma.
Contactees, self-proclaimed experts, mystics and improvised prophets give different ideas and versions of the phenomenon, but Rational Ufologydemands evidences.
The interpretation of the UFO Phenomenon by the irrational ufologists is confused, contradictory and fallacious. There is talk, but no facts, and in many cases, we find a dishonest manipulation of hypothesis and pseudo events given as facts.
The Rational Ufologist is eclectic, but is also pragmatic and realist. He recognizes that the culture industry perpetually cheats its consumers with promises. The promissory note with its plots and staging, is endlessly prolonged; the promise is illusory: all that actually confirms is that the real point will never be reached, that the diner must be satisfied with the menu.”
In the rhetoric of the Cosmic Gurus we see this phenomenon in action. Nonsense replaces the real world and balloons are transformed into big ET spacecrafts. Contactees give us New Age talk as Extraterrestrial messages, ex rock musicians become Aliens and lawyers time travelers.
However all this must be considered and analyzed in Ufology. We must recognize the distorted impact of the UFO phenomenon in our society. WE should understand the UFO subculture as spectacle, as the promise of a bad defined solution. The whole manipulation of the disclosure activism is not directed towards a solution of the UFO enigma.
The important thing for these activists is to sell their statements and conspiratorial delusions.
(CLICK THE ABOVE FOR ENLARGEMENT….UFO INDUSTRY poster, courtesy of Claude Falkstrom)
The society of the spectacle is also the world of the simulacrum. The picture is more important than the real thing, and even worst, contactees, and self proclaimed UFO experts try to make us believe that their rhetoric is the real thing. That is why they deny Science but instead give us fairy tales as facts and fictions as real events.
WETENSCHAPTijdens een zeebodemonderzoek nabij de Californische Channel Islands zijn wetenschappers op een verbazingwekkende nieuwe diersoort gebotst. De onderzoekers ontdekten een bizarre paarse massa, die tussen de koralen kwam piepen.
De paarse bol verbijsterde de wetenschappers. Na wat giswerk - het kon om zowat alles gaan: van een soort plankton tot een kleurrijke eicocon - beslisten ze het mysterieuze organisme mee te nemen.
Na onderzoek bleek dat het zeedier uit twee afzonderlijke kwabben bestaat. Mogelijk gaat het om een nieuwe soort zeenaaktslak, meldt het team van onderzoeksschip Nautilus.
Zeenaaktslakken of nudibranchia zijn weekdieren met een zachte schelp. Ze vormen een groep van zo'n 2.300 soorten, elk met zijn eigen opvallende kleuren. Ze worden gevonden op alle diepten. De meeste zeenaaktslakken zijn carnivoren en voeden zich met andere zeedieren. Zelf verdedigen ze zich door een chemische stof af te scheiden, die een walgelijke smaak afgeeft of een pijnlijk gevoel veroorzaakt.
Volgens het onderzoeksteam kan het nog jaren duren vooraleer de paarse bol zijn geheimen prijsgeeft. Wellicht gaat het dus om een zeenaaktslak, maar mogelijk is het ook een heel andere nieuwe soort
ARCHEOLOGIEOnder de grootste en belangrijkste Maya-tempel in de historische stad Palenque, in het zuiden van Mexico, hebben onderzoekers na jaren onderzoek een tunnel blootgelegd. Volgens de archeologen werd de Inscriptietempel, waarin zich de tombe van de legendarische koning Pacal bevindt, bewust boven een bron gebouwd, zodat de geest van de heerser gemakkelijk naar de onderwereld geleid kon worden. Dat schrijft het magazine Time.
Palenque is wellicht een van de bekenste Maya-sites en wordt jaarlijks door duizenden toeristen van over heel de wereld bezocht. De oude stad telt tientallen tempels en gebouwen, waarvan de Inscriptietempel wellicht de bekendste is. De tempel werd tussen 683 en 702 na Christus gebouwd als grafkamer voor koning Pacal de Grote. Die heerste tussen 615 en 683 over de stadsstaat, die zich vandaag in de jungle bevindt in de zuidelijke Mexicaanse deelstaat Chiapas.
Na vier jaar graven hebben onderzoekers gisteren in Mexico-stad bekendgemaakt dat ze onder de tempel een tunnel hebben gevonden van onder de grafkamer naar de brede esplanade aan het plein voor de tempel. Aan de andere kant van het plein bevindt zich het paleis waar Pacal en zijn voorgangers en opvolgers woonden. De tunnel is gemaakt van steen en ongeveer 60 centimeter breed en hoog.
De archeologen geloven dat het kanaal bedoeld was om de geest van de overleden heerser gemakkelijk naar de onderwereld te brengen. Tot nu toe ging de meeste aandacht naar de deksteen van het graf van Pacal. Die is goed bewaard gebleven en sommige onderzoekers menen in de inscripties Pacal te herkennen terwijl hij in een ruimteschip zit. Maar hoofdarcheoloog Arnoldo Gonzalez verwees die theorie gisteren naar de prullenmand. "Het heeft helemaal niks met ruimteschepen te maken. Nieuwe inscripties spreken over een god die "de doden naar de onderwereld zal begeleiden door ze onder te dompelen in water".
Pedro Sanchez Nava, directeur Archeologie aan het Nationale Instituut voor Antropologie en Geschiedenis legde de link met een andere watertunnel die is gevonden in de oude stad Teotihuacan, nabij Mexico-Stad. "In beide gevallen stroomde water. Dat wijst op de allegorische betekenis van water, waar de cirkel van het leven begint en eindigt."
De graafwerken begonnen in 2012, nadat scans op een holle ruimte hadden gewezen en onderzoekers vreesden dat de tempel zou kunnen instorten. Tot hun verbazing ontdekten ze de tunnel, die bedekt was met drie lagen steen. Ook onder de grafkamer werden dezelfde stenen teruggevonden. Een verbinding tussen de kamer en de tunnel is (nog) niet gevonden. De archeologen lieten een robot met een camera in de tunnel om beelden te kunnen maken.

Apollo 20: The Mission when NASA recovered alien tech from the moon
Apollo 20: The Mission when NASA recovered alien tech from the moon
According to reports, the so-called Apollo 20 mission wasn’t only an American mission but was in fact a joint-venture between the Soviets and the USA. The Mission took place according to reports in 1976. Whether or not the mission did take place remains a profound mystery.
For most of us, the idea that secretive missions to the moon took place is something extremely hard to believe. Especially, when you add to that story that the alleged missions recovered alien technology from so-called alien structures on the moon. While many believe that the idea of Apollo 20 existing is just another conspiracy theory, there are many people around the globe who believe something like this is entirely possible and there is evidence to back up such missions. In today’s world, ufologists who are trying to get to the bottom of the UFO Phenomenon are having a very hard time because of the numerous conspiracy theories and hoaxes circulating around the web. While the so-called Apollo 20 mission could very well be one of those elaborate hoaxes, there are some interesting details that indicate its worth researching further.

While the so-called Apollo 20 mission could very well be one of those elaborate hoaxes, there are some interesting details that indicate its worth researching further. After all many people say that: where there is smoke, there was fire once…
The alleged spacecraft explored by ‘Apollo 20’
Officially, NASA ended its Apollo program with the Apollo 17 mission even though they had planned further missions to the moon with the Apollo 18,19 and 20 missions.
While these emissions ‘never’ took place officially, many people believe that in secrecy, NASA commanded three more missions to the moon where astronauts allegedly explored ancient structures on the lunars surface and recovered ‘alien’ technology.
One of the most interesting quotes about alien structures on the surface of the moon comes from Dr. Brandenburg.
Dr. Brtandenburg who has a Ph.D. in Plasma Physics, and is a consultant at Morningstar Applied Physics LLC, and part-time instructor of Astronomy, Physics, and Mathematics at Madison College has given what some are calling ‘substantial evidence’ of alien life present in our solar system.
“It was (the Clementine Mission) a photo reconnaissance mission basically to check out if someone was building bases on the moon that we didn’t know about. Were they expanding them?”
“Of all the pictures I’ve seen from the moon that show possible structures, the most impressive is an image of a mile 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.”
“… They basically kept to themselves and just did their work, and we were told not to interfere with them…”
“We were aware there was a possibility of an unknown presence, possibly alien/extraterrestrial near the Earth…”
Brandenburg recounted one occasion:
“…There I am sitting in a room of retired army and air force generals and a few admirals, and we’re watching what looks like a firefight in space. The most senior general there … turned to me and said, “Where do you think they’re from?” and I said, “I don’t know sir, I’ve heard they’re from 40 light years from here.”
Quotes like the above have given people around the globe a reason to believe numerous top-secret mission to the moon took place even after Apollo 17.
Interestingly, in 2007 several interesting video were posted on YouTube by William Rutledge, an individual who claims to have been part of the Apollo 20 mission. Rutledge claims that there are countless structures on the far side of the moon and he even showed videos of the structures and ‘Alien female’ who was found in a giant crashed alien ship.
Italian researcher Luca Scantumbarlo contacted Rutledge and was able to find out more about the incredible ‘story’ Rutledge had disclosed to the public.
In an interview, Rutledge stated the following:
“NASA didn’t employ me, USAF did. I had worked on the study of foreign technology, Russian only. Studied about the N1 project, AJAX plane project, and the MIG Foxbat 25. I had some skills for using computer navigation and was a volunteer for the MOL-Gemini project. USAF later recalled that I had been chosen for Apollo 20 because I was one of the rare pilots who didn’t believe in God (and it has changed since 1990), but it was a criterion in 1976. It was not the status of the NASA astronauts. Not believing in God made the difference. That’s all.”
According to reports, the so-called Apollo 20 mission wasn’t only an American mission but was, in fact, a joint-venture between the Soviets and the USA. The Mission took place according to Rutledge in 1976.
Apollo 20 was sent to the far side of the moon to an area referred to as the Deporte-Izsak Region, in the vicinity of the Tsiolkovsky crater. Their objective was to investigate a huge object that had been spotted by crew members of the Apollo 15 mission. Once on the Moon, Apollo 20 crew members found a giant, 2 miles long Alien Spaceship and not far from it, was another, much smaller spaceship.
Rutledge states:
“The ‘Moon City’ was named on Earth and referred to as Station One, but it appeared to be really space garbage, full of scrap, gold parts, and only one construction seemed intact. We named it the Cathedral. We took shots of pieces of metal, of every part bearing calligraphy, exposed to the sun. The city seemed to be as old as the ship, but it is a very tiny place. In the rover video, the telephotolens make the artifacts seem larger.”
“We went inside the big spaceship, also into a triangular one. The major conclusions of the exploration were: it was a mother ship, very old, that crossed the universe at least a billion years ago. There were many signs of biology inside, old remains of vegetation in a motor section, special triangular rocks that emitted ‘tears’ of a yellow liquid with special properties, and, of course, signs of extrasolar creatures.
We found remains of little bodies (4 inches long) that lived and died in a network of glass tubes all along the ship, but the major discovery was that of two humanoid bodies, one intact.”
Whether or not Apollo 20 ever took place remains a mystery for most of us, however, it is extremely refreshing to know that there are many people who have come forward in the last couple of years giving reasons to believe that such missions did in fact take place and that there are numerous alien structures on the surface of the moon.

(VIDEO)Gargantuan UFO Photographed while Taking Off from the Sun – Evidence of Portal Travel?
Skywatchers using the solar visualization tool Helioviewer managed to capture a strange object the size of Earth’s moon just as it was blasting off from the surface of the Sun.
On July 18, UFO hunters examining imagery sent back by the SDO’s (Solar Dynamic Observatory) AIA 304 instrument were quick to spot the alien presence and their massive unidentified flying object, once again setting ablaze the UFO community. It isn’t the first time photographic evidence for such an object was provided, but rather the latest in a series of incidents in which our star plays a role we don’t yet understand.
Helioviewer allows users to place the Earth in images of the Sun, to better get a sense of how large it is. This allowed YouTube user UFOvni2012 to assess the size of the unidentified craft as several thousand miles across. If a UFO this big suddenly appeared in the sky over our heads, things would go dark pretty soon.
Naturally, a craft this size must have colossal energy needs, leading many to believe it had just finished refueling with the Sun’s plasma and was in the process of taking off. The straight stream of ejecta it’s leaving behind seems to support this theory.
If you were worried aliens siphoning fuel from our star might somehow deplete it, don’t. The Sun outputs 3.8 x Joules of energy every second, equivalent to roughly 25 septillion average cars, so there’s plenty to go around. Even so, the implications of aliens leeching off our primary energy source are serious, though we couldn’t possibly do anything about it.
Another explanation for the alien presence near the Sun was proposed by Swiss researcher Nassim Haramein, who is famous for his controversial theories. Haramein surmised that extraterrestrials are using our Sun as a gateway for interstellar travel. He believes the alien ships somehow manipulate the extreme forces and phenomena present in or around the sun into opening wormholes that connect the Solar System to various other places in our universe, maybe going even further than that.
The Swiss scientist claims that the black spots that appear on the surface of the Sun are in fact black holes. Under very specific conditions, these black holes may twist space-time in such a manner that they form wormholes. Once opened up, these cosmic pathways take months to close, enabling safe passage between destinations or dimensions. These black holes are created and maintained open by Hawking radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation exuded near a region of the black hole called the event horizon.
Haramein says these wormholes are present not only on the surface of stars, but inside every planet as well. He believes that once a civilization attains a certain level of technological development, they could master deep space travel with minimal operational costs.
If Haramein’s suppositions are correct, we might have an answer for the large number of UFOs seen entering Earth’s mantle through active volcanoes. They could be using the immense pressure, heat and electromagnetism inside planets and stars to their advantage. This gives us a clue about the technology they would need to achieve such a feat.
The surface of the Sun reaches a scorching 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. As you go deeper into the star, the temperature and pressure reach well, astronomic values. Near its center, the temperature reaches a whopping 27 million degrees, while the pressure goes up to 340 billion times the Earth’s atmospheric pressure. No metal, alloy or metamaterial developed by mankind can withstand even the surface temperature of the Sun. If the UFO spotted near our star is indeed physical in nature, we speculate it must be shielded by magnetic or force fields, but this supposition is susceptible to the limitations of our own technology and what we currently believe to be physically possible. The extraterrestrials could be manipulating matter and forces in ways we haven’t even dreamed yet.
This incident and many others like it refer the curious mind to a belief system that shaped the lives of ancient people, and whose influence still radiates today.
Sun worship. While it may seem self-evident that an archaic society with few established concepts about divinity would naturally glorify the big ball of fire that gives life and renews the world, their mythologies present some extraordinary facets. From bowing to the east, to the myth of Phaeton and the Sun Chariot, the heliolatrous aspect of bygone cultures focuses on some characters that could be direct references to extraterrestrials entering our Solar System through the Sun itself.
Are the ancient sun gods really constructs of the human mind or physical beings with technology so advanced, it couldn’t be distinguished from magic? Were their sun chariots actually spacecraft like the ones photographed near our sun? Will they be coming back?
Secret Maps of the Third Reich: Did the Nazi’s find the entrance to the Inner Earth?
Secret Maps of the Third Reich: Did the Nazi’s find the entrance to the Inner Earth?
Not long ago, we discovered a map of the third Reich in which there are several secret passages depicted which were used by German U-Boats to access mysterious underground regions, as well as a complete map of both hemispheres and the mysterious kingdom of Agartha.
What do you think about the Hollow Earth theory? Is it possible that another world exists, beneath the surface of our planet? And is it possible that there actually is life down there?
“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.” ―
The possibility that the earth is hollow, and that it can be accessed through the North and South poles and that secret civilizations flourish within it has spurred the imagination of people through centuries.
It might just turn out to be true after all, that somehow, and somewhere, there is an access which leads to an entirely different world, one that has been kept in secrecy for years. Evidence of a “Hollow Earth” is found in the history of countless ancient civilizations.
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.
Most of us are familiar with the idea that the Nazi’s explored everything they could on the planet in their ultimate quest for global domination. They hoped that somewhere on the globe, they would discover ‘something’ that would ultimately help them in achieving their goal.
While many people firmly believe the inner Earth is nothing more than tales and myths, there are those who believe that not only does the ‘Hollow Earth’ Exist, there is enough evidence to prove these arguments like the video posted below, which allegedly shows a map which dates back to the 1940’s belonging to the ‘Third Reich’ and displaying the ‘direct’ passageway used by German U-Boats to access a subterranean domain. The map also details both hemispheres of our planet as well as the so-called inner kingdom of ‘Agartha’.
According to the website ourhollowearth.com, there is a copy of the translated letter which was supposedly sent from a man called Karl Unger, aboard the U-Boat 209, which was commanded by Heinrich Brodda, detailing that they had arrived at the inner Earth and WOULD NOT return. Interestingly on the website www.u-boote-online.de it states that the U-Boat 209 was ‘LOST TO UNKNOWN CAUSES‘ on 07.05.1943.
While many people consider these claims absurd and ludicrous, many indicate that there is some truth somewhere in there but that the details have been altered in some ways.
If we compare the maps seen in the video and from the alleged U-Boat 209, and the charts made by Tyrolean cartographer and artist Heinrich C. Berann for the National Geographic Society in the 1960’s, we will notice that the continent of Antarctica is displayed without its layer of ice.
According to many, the most intriguing details are in fact that there are alleged underwater passageways that apparently run across the entire continent and seem to converge at the location many believe is the opening leading towards the hollow earth.

VIDEO: Spectaculaire graancirkel bij München trekt veel bekijks
Op 40 kilometer ten westen van München is een spectaculaire graancirkel aangetroffen. De creatie, die in de buurt van een grindgat in Mammendorf is ontdekt, trekt honderden nieuwsgierigen.
Er komen veel mensen op af die geloven dat aliens de makers zijn en menen dat van hun werk een bijzondere kracht uitgaat. De boer van wie de akker is heeft een klacht ingediend wegens vernieling. De politie zei tegenover de lokale krant Müncher Merkur dat de schade door een lagere oogst op 4000 euro wordt geschat.
Donaties
De boer heeft een melkbus neergezet voor donaties, waar trouw geld in wordt gegooid, meldt deSüddeutsche Zeitung. Ook heeft hij een doorgang gemaakt in het koren zodat bezoekers het wonder gemakkelijker kunnen aanschouwen.
De graancirkel heeft een doorsnee van 180 meter en is dinsdag ontdekt. Bekijk hieronder een video van de bijzondere graanformatie:
Tennessee witness says UFO looked like ‘living creature’
Tennessee witness says UFO looked like ‘living creature’
A Tennessee witness at Hendersonville reported watching a “reddish-brown, tube-shaped” object move low overhead that looked like it was swimming, according to testimony in Case 77821 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The reporting witness and her husband were driving westbound along Vietnam Veteran’s Parkway in Sumner County along the northern-most portion of Hendersonville just past 2 p.m. on July 19, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“My husband is driving, talking on the phone with his brother, and I see something above the roadway some distance ahead of us that is a pretty decent size and seems to be moving our way,” the witness stated.“We were driving about 55 mph and as a second or two passed, I began to think this was one of those longish government drones or something.”
The witness first believed she was about to see a drone.
“I thought, ‘I am going to get to see one of these drones up close’ because it was coming pretty low and over our lane, but it seemed to be moving a bit erratically in its flight path. Once it got within about four or five car lengths in front of us, I could see it clearly and saw no wings, no anything, just a smooth, dull, reddish-brown color, hotdog-shaped thing, four offset feet things, and the craft/creature was making a smooth swimming motion, like an eel.”
The witness said the object looked alive as they watched it from westbound Vietnam Veteran’s Parkway, pictured. (Credit: Google)
The witness described the object’s motion.
“I noticed that it wasn’t an even motion, like it was a live thing. It looked about 15 feet long and about three feet in diameter. I am so shocked that I finally holler, ‘What the hell.’ My husband takes the phone from his ear and says,‘What? What?’ I jerk myself around in the seat so I can see this thing out the back window, as it has just passed over the car. It has risen up in altitude, has turned off the roadway to the south, southeast, maybe 50 to 75 feet up and is entering a puffy cloud. I could still clearly see the feet as it entered the cloud. It seemed to be gently entering the cloud and when it was about two thirds into the cloud, I quickly looked at the couple of cars behind us to see if any were swerving or anything, but didn’t see any indication they saw too.”
The object was described as 15 feet long and about three feet in diameter as it moved low over Vietnam Veteran’s Parkway, pictured.

The witness believes the object was a UFO.
“I turned to my husband and said, ‘I think I just saw a UFO.’ Then I said, ‘I think what I saw was a living creature.’ As soon as I got to a piece of paper, I drew what I saw. I just want to know if anybody else has seen anything like this. I wish I hadn’t seen this. I have been sick to my stomach ever since, knowing something like this is out there.”
Hendersonville is a city in Sumner County, Tennessee, on Old Hickory Lake, population was 51,372. Tennessee MUFON is investigating. The witness provided one illustration with the report, which was filed on July 21, 2016.
TRENDING UFO EXCLUSIVE! BREAKING NEWS MASSIVE BIOLOGICAL UFO ENGLAND STUNNED!! 7/26/2016 Quote From Cat Roberts “Hey! I caught this video the other day. I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne, around 2:20 pm. Never seen anything like it. It was a lot bigger to see in person, it was very unusual and I haven’t seen anything like that before. I had food shopping with me at the time, I stopped recording to put the food in the freezer and went back out. It was still there but it quickly disappeared like it sucked in on itself. ”

Photographer Catches Cloaked UFO Over Philadelphia On July 15, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Photographer Catches Cloaked UFO Over Philadelphia On July 15, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 15, 2016 Location of sighting: Langhorne, Philadelphia, USA Source: MUFON #77917 Photo credit: www.stwbphotography.com Here is a great catch of a glowing green UFO in the sky over Philadelphia. The UFO has a distinct acorn shape and is sideways. There is also an ring of light around the craft. It was probably too light to see with the naked eye, however the camera was set for prolonged exposure, which gave the camera a lot of time to gather light reflections off of the UFO to allow us to see it. What have we learned by this? That even a cloaked UFO can be caught this way. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: Im a photographer in the Greater Philadelphia area (Langhorne, Bucks County) that likes to point my lens towards the cosmos and snap slow exposures of the night time sky. Its become a fun little hobby for me over the years. Recently, on July 15th 2016 at approximately 9:15pm I set my Nikon D90 on a tripod and pointed towards the SW sky.. Set the camera for 30 second exposures while on the tripod for maximum light and clarity. No movement is OPTIMUM. After snapping 4-5 similar shots in the front yard towards the SW, I repeated the same process stated above, except I went in my backyard and pointed my Nikon towards the NE and snapped 4-5 of the same 30 second slow exposure shots of the night sky. I really don't have much more information than what I have included. When shooting the set of photos I had captured, nothing seemed different or weird when I was shooting. That said, after shooting the photos I mentioned, I came in and started to look thru and see how the stars & planets looked in the night sky. Most of the photos came out like they usually do, but 2 really stood out to me.. Because there was things AFTER THE FACT while looking at the captures on my computer that I noticed some things. Photo 1 in my front yard is facing SW has a Spiral - Tri-Spoked - Greenish looking orb bright in the sky.. Maybe some type of weird light reflection Photo 2 is in my back yard and facing towards the NE.. This 2nd photo has a BUNCH more preset orbs, streaks or 'swooshes' of light and a very obvious cigar shaped 'object'.. Like I said, Maybe weird glitch in the system or weird refracted light - but yea - not sure.. Any how. Thanks in advance for your time.

Multyple UFO sightings over Mudgee Australia 16 07 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 16, 2016 Location of sighting: Mudgee, Australia This UFO was captured by ColourUFO of Youtube using an infrared covered camcorder. Infrared light is invisible to the naked eye but with this special camera it can be recorded. Anything in the sky cloaked, will become visible. This UFO was very close to the the cloud so that it can have a more secure place to hide. It seemed to sense that it had been seen and was moving into cloud cover. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
I caught a UFO over the Colima volcano in Mexico today. It is oval in shape and dark, much like the other UFOs seen near this volcano over the years. I found it in the archives for today and those only have one photo every 2 minutes. The photos before and after it didn't have the UFO in it. Its been long believed by UFO researchers that many of the volcanos in Mexico are also entrances to alien bases that lay 4-5 km below the surface.
Ancient Aliens – The Hidden Empire History Channel, Season 11, Episode 9 15 July 2016
In 2013, former Canadian Minister of Defense, Paul Hellyer, made a shocking claim–that there is a federation of extraterrestrial beings monitoring and guiding humanity. But why would such an esteemed politician make such a controversial announcement? Ancient Astronaut theorists believe evidence can be found throughout history to prove his claims are true. Stories of emperors, kings and pharaohs consulting a pantheon of nine gods can be found in virtually every culture across the globe. Even channeling sessions conducted by CIA scientists in the 1950s connected with an otherworldly group of entities called “The Nine” — extraterrestrials here to influence the events on Earth. Could there be an intergalactic council of nine secretly working behind the scenes, dictating the course of humanity?

Here’s one really interesting footage of a triangular-shaped formation hovering in the sky above Charlottesville in US state Virginia. This was filmed on Sunday, 24th July 2016.
What do you think this is? Please leave your opinion in the comment section below.

The FBI admits visits of “beings from other dimensions” – Declassified FBI document
According to a declassified document released by the FBI, not only are we being visited by Alien beings from other worlds, but we have been visited by “beings from other dimensions.”
Is it surprising that the FBI has shown interest in the study of the UFO phenomena? Is it possible that many science fiction films are actually based on real events, or better called “leaks” given by the government in order to deliberately raise awareness among the population?
In 2011 after some documents were “declassified” a report written by a special agent of the FBI in 1947 reached the public. The special agent of the FBI, a lieutenant colonel whose identity, remained anonymous because of “national security” gather numerous data on the UFO phenomena after interviewing and studying the phenomena for years.
According to reports and “Declassified” documents, we have been visited by numbs extraterrestrial species, some of these, are not only from other planets but from other dimensions. Some of these beings originate from an ethereal plane coexistent with our physical universe. These “entities” that could “materialize” on our planet appeared as giant translucent figures.
Here is a transcript of some of the most important details of the report:
1. Part of the disks carry crews; others are under remote control
2. Their mission is peaceful. The visitors contemplate settling on this plane
3. These visitors are human-like but much larger in size
4. They are not excarnate Earth people but come from their own world
5. They do NOT come from a planet as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us
6. The bodies of the visitors, and the craft, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter
7. The disks posses a type of radiant energy or a ray, which will easily disintegrate any attacking ship. They reenter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without trace
8. The region from which they come is not the “astral plane”, but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas. Students of osoteric matters will understand these terms.
9. They probably can not be reached by radio, but probably can be by radar. if a signal system can be devised for that (apparatus) Addendum: The Lokas are oval shape, fluted length oval with a heat-resistaning metal or alloy is not yet known the front cage contains the controls, the middle portion a laboratory; the rear contains armament, which consists essentially of a powerful energy apparatus, perhaps a ray.
What are your thoughts on this? If these beings have been visiting us in the last 50 to 60 years, is it possible that these same beings visited Earth hundreds and thousands of years ago? Is it possible that these beings influenced civilization as we know it today? And is it possible that they are still influencing the way of life on Earth?
Among NASA’s main objectives is to further the study of astrophysics, the branch of astronomy that looks at the physical nature of stars and how laws and theories of physics apply to them.
NASA’s Current Strategic Plan
NASA’s last Strategic Plan was published in 2014, and the next plan will be published in 2018. Among the objectives are the following;
Expanding human presence into the solar system and to the surface of Mars.
Conducting research on the International Space Station (ISS).
Facilitating and utilizing US commercial capabilities to deliver cargo and crew to space.
Understanding the sun and its interactions with Earth and the solar system including space weather.
Ascertaining the content, origin, and evolution of the solar system and the potential for life elsewhere.
Discovering how the universe works, explore how it began and evolved, and search for life on planets around other stars.
Transform NASA missions and advanced the nation’s capabilities by maturing crosscutting and innovative space technologies.
Enabling a revolutionary transformation for safe and sustainable US and global aviation and aeronautics research.
Advancing knowledge of earth as a system to meet the challenges of environmental change and improve life on the planet.

Ensure the availability and continued advancement of strategic, technical and programmatic capabilities.
Provide secure, effective, and affordable information technologies and services to enable NASA’s missions.
Ensure effective management of NASA programs and operations to complete missions safelyand successfully.
Future Missions to Discover How the Universe Works
Item #6 in NASA’s Strategic Plan includes four potential missions that would follow the James Webb Space Telescope, which is scheduled for launch in 2018, and improve knowledge of stars in the universe. According to NASA, the missions include:
The X-ray Surveyor that “might discover the first generation of supermassive black holes in the infant universe, unravel the structure of the cosmic web and determine its impact on the evolution of galaxies, and determine the influence of dark matter on the evolution of the universe.” The following video explains thismission:
The Far-Infrared Surveyor that “might find bio-signatures in the atmosphere of exoplanets…, map the beginnings of chemistry, and explain the origins of dust and the molecules that form the cradle of life.” The following video explains what “Far-Infrared Rays” are:
The Large Ultraviolet, Optical, and Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) that “could be designed with a very large mirror that could capture the first starlight in the early universe, map the distribution of nearby dark matter with unprecedented resolution, detect water worlds and biomarkers on distant Earth-like planets, and image icy plumes from the moons of giant planets in our solar system.” The following video explains LUVOIR.
The Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission (HabEx) that “could search for signs of habitability in the atmospheres of exoplanets.” The following video explains how habitable planets are imaged.

De eerste helft van dit jaar is zo warm geweest dat zelfs wetenschappers verrast zijn door de versnelling van de opwarming van de aarde. Dat stelt de directeur van het Wereld Klimaatonderzoeksprogramma.
Juni was de veertiende maand op rij met recordtemperaturen, zo verklaarde de Wereld Meteorologische Organisatie (WMO) vorige week. Vijftien zuidelijke Afrikaanse landen hebben eerder deze week 2.5 miljard euro noodhulp gevraagd om bijna 40 miljoen mensen te voeden die worden getroffen door de ergste droogte in de regio in 35 jaar. De Franse boerenvakbond heeft aangekondigd dat er een kwart minder tarwe zal geoogst worden door het slechte weer.
Versnelde klimaatverandering De temperaturen in het noordelijk halfrond in de eerste zes maanden van het jaar, gekoppeld aan een vroege en snelle smelting van het poolijs en nieuwe pieken in de uitstoot van koolstofdioxide wijzen volgens het WMO op een versnelde klimaatverandering.
Gisteren voegde het het agentschap van de Verenigde Naties er aan toe dat het zou onderzoeken of de temperatuur van 54 graden in Koeweit vorige donderdag een nieuw record was voor de oosterse hemisfeer en Azië.
"Wat me het meeste zorgen baart, is dat we die temperatuursprongen niet hebben voorzien", stelt David Carlson, directeur van het klimaatonderzoeksprogramma van de WMO. "We voorspelden gemiddelde temperaturen voor 2016, niet de toename die we hebben gezien".
"Grote hittegolven, maar ook extreme overstromingen zijn de nieuwe norm geworden. De smelting van het poolijs in de eerste helft van het jaar bijvoorbeeld - dergelijke hoeveelheden zien we gewoonlijk pas later op het jaar".
Gevaar voor mens, dier en watervoorziening Carlson waarschuwt dat die plotse temperatuurstijgingen een gevaar inhouden voor de mens, dieren en de watervoorraad. "Voeg daarbij dat de mensen de hitte het hoofd bieden door meer energie te gebruiken voor koeling, wat de voorraden nog meer in het gedrang brengt".

Amerikaanse overheid deed in het geheim telepathische experimenten in Fort Meade
Amerikaanse overheid deed in het geheim telepathische experimenten in Fort Meade
Bijna 20 jaar lang deed een geheime Amerikaanse legereenheid samen met de militaire inlichtingendienst DIA onderzoek naar de zogeheten psycho-energetica. Dat blijkt uitofficiële overheidsstukken.
De Amerikaanse overheid trainde onder het Stargate Project een leger telepaten in Fort Meade in Maryland. De telepaten hielden zich vooral bezig met remote viewing, het gebruikmaken van buitenzintuiglijke waarneming om informatie te krijgen over bepaalde locaties. In sommige gevallen werden ze ook ingezet om in de toekomst te kijken.
Succesvol
Tijdens experimenten werd de helderzienden gevraagd naar specifieke locaties te gaan en ze te beschrijven, zoals bijvoorbeeld een vuurtoren, de nationale bibliotheek van de Verenigde Staten ofStonehenge. De experimenten waren in de meeste gevallen succesvol.
Uit de stukken blijkt dat er tenminste 22 helderzienden zijn voortgekomen uit het Stargate Project. De meesten van hen zijn gerekruteerd door luitenant Frederick Holmes ‘Skip’ Atwater, die naar eigen zeggen als kind paranormale ervaringen had gehad.
Saddam Hoessein
Er werd in Fort Meade niet alleen maar geëxperimenteerd. Volgens de gepensioneerde legerofficier Joseph McMoneagle, die tot 1984 nauw betrokken was bij Project Stargate, werden de helderzienden ook ingezet tijdens echte inlichtingenoperaties.
Zo lokaliseerden ze brigadegeneraal Joseph L. Dozier, die in 1981 in Italië was ontvoerd. Ook stelden ze vast waar Saddam Hoessein zich bevond tijdens de Golfoorlog, verzamelden ze informatie over Russische onderzeeërs en zochten ze in Noord-Korea naar plutonium.
Onderzoeker: “Graancirkels worden niet door mensen gemaakt”
Onderzoeker: “Graancirkels worden niet door mensen gemaakt”
Door wie worden graancirkels gemaakt? Wetenschappers houden zich al jaren bezig met deze vraag. Sommigen menen dat er te weinig onderzoek wordt gedaan naar dit fenomeen omdat graancirkels in verband worden gebracht met complotten en UFO’s.
Professor Richard Taylor van de Universiteit van Oregon vindt dat er meer moet worden gedaan om erachter te komen door wie graancirkels worden gemaakt en waarom. “Ik vind het fascinerend dat er ieder jaar overal ter wereld graancirkels opduiken. Dit fenomeen blijft een mysterie,” zei hij.
Wereldwijd zijn er al meer dan 12.000 graancirkels geregistreerd. “Veel wetenschappers zijn huiverig om graanformaties te bestuderen omdat ze bang zijn voor gek te worden versleten,” zei professor Taylor, die zijn eigen onderzoek in 2011 publiceerde in het tijdschrift Physics World.
Elektromagnetische energie
Foto’s van gebogen plantenstengels uit een Deens tijdschrift (1999)
Uit wetenschappelijk onderzoek uit de jaren negentig blijkt dat planten die in graancirkels waren verzameld, konden worden gebogen zonder te breken. Onderzoekers W.C. Levengood en Pat Delgado concludeerden dat de planten waren blootgesteld aan een vorm van elektromagnetische energie.
De Australische verpleegster en graancirkelonderzoeker Megan Heazlewood (foto) geeft lezingen over het fenomeen. Ze doet al 15 jaar onderzoek naar graancirkels, onder meer in Groot-Brittannië, waar ze meer dan 20 formaties heeft bezocht.
Ze begon haar onderzoek in Australië, waar volgens haar tot nu toe 71 graanformaties zijn verschenen. Heazlewood stelt dat graancirkels, die vaak in afgelegen en onherbergzame gebieden verschijnen, niet door mensen worden gemaakt.
Enorme graancirkel verschenen bij oud fort
Enorme graancirkel in Milk Hill, Wiltshire (2001)
Ze hoopt boeren en experts te interesseren in graancirkelonderzoek. “De formaties verschijnen in alle soorten gewassen, zelfs in snijbiet en rijstvelden,” zei ze. De graancirkels die in koolzaad verschijnen vindt ze nog het meest bijzonder.
In het zuiden van Wiltshire is deze week een enorme graancirkel verschenen bij een oud fort. Neil Petherick trof de formatie aan bij Figsbury Ring en maakte er foto’s van met een drone. Hij denkt niet dat de geometrische vormen zijn achtergelaten door UFO’s.
Onhoudbaar
Volgens de Utrechtse hoogleraar Klaas van Egmond is het onhoudbaar om te zeggen dat graancirkels allemaal door mensen zijn gemaakt. De oud-directeur van het Milieu en Natuurplanbureau bracht al veel tijd door in de velden van Midden-Engeland om het mysterie van de graancirkels te ontrafelen.
Volgens de hoogleraar staat de scepsis over graancirkels niet op zich. In de wetenschap bestaan veel meer taboes. Denk aan het bestaan van god of spiritualiteit. “Terwijl de kern van de wetenschap toch is dat je bestudeert wat je niet begrijpt,” zei hij.

VIDEO: Gigantische ‘UFO-basis’ ontdekt op de zeebodem
Op enkele tientallen kilometers van de Mexicaanse kust is een mysterieuze structuur gevonden op de zeebodem, meldt het AD. Volgens UFO-jagers gaat het mogelijk om een basis of stad van een buitenaardse beschaving. Ze willen dat er een onderzoek wordt ingesteld.
De merkwaardige structuur, die 15 kilometer lang en vier kilometer breed is, werd gevonden aan de hand van satellietbeelden. Volgens onderzoeker Sandra Elena Andrade is de Mexicaanse ‘basis met start- en landingsbanen een meer dan opzienbarende ontdekking’.
Vol verbazing
Andrade ontdekte eerder naar eigen zeggen piramides op de zeebodem bij New York. De hoeken van die bouwwerken zouden naar piramides in Egypte en Mexico wijzen. Ze wil nu nagaan of de lijnen van de structuur ook kunnen worden doorgetrokken naar andere bouwwerken.
Mensen reageren vol verbazing op de enorme ‘buitenaardse vliegbasis of nederzetting’. “Dit is helemaal geen rare ontdekking, want in het luchtruim boven Mexico worden geregeld vreemde vliegende objecten gespot,” reageerde iemand.
Drones
Een ander zei dat het gebied zo snel mogelijk moet worden onderzocht met behulp van drones. Volgens sceptici gaat het hier om resten van een prehistorische beschaving die ooit is verzwolgen door de zee.
De ‘buitenaardse basis’ is te vinden op de volgende coördinaten: 26°38’29.03″N 110°27’0.85″W.

ER GEBEURN VREEMDE DINGEN RONDOM YELLOWSTONE SUPERVULKAAN, USA ( VIDEO )
Een man die regelmatig met zijn honden ging wandelen die dan altijd gingen zwemmen in een meertje nabij Yellowstone, is zijn honden kwijt omdat het water plotseling zo heet was dat ze het niet hebben overleefd.
Dit en andere vreemde zaken betreffende de Yellowstone supervulkaan worden bewust van de bevolking weg gehouden.
Het is eigenlijk verbazingwekkend hoe de gevestigde orde alles richting klimaatverandering veroorzaakt door de mens weet te sturen. Alles wat er gebeurt op aarde is, volgens deze verhalenvertellers, het gevolg van de opwarming vanwege de onverantwoordelijke manier waarop de mens met onze planeet omgaat.
Met dit als basis kunnen zij via hun beruchte Agenda 21 en het vervolg daarop, Agenda 2030, de wereld in een houdgreep houden, de mensheid verder kaal plukken door middel van extra heffingen op het milieu, ze in getto’s laten wonen straks om de natuur te sparen en nog wat van dat soort onverkwikkelijke zaken.
Wat ze niet kunnen verklaren, is de enorme toename de laatste tientallen jaren van zowel aardbevingen als vulkaanuitbarstingen. En het zijn die laatste waar we vandaag wat verder naar gaan kijken.
Dat klinkt veel, maar dat is het niet wanneer je kijkt naar het aantal vulkaanuitbarstingen waar we vandaag de dag mee te maken hebben.
Navolgend een plaatje van iets eerder deze maand, waarop je ziet dat er op dat moment 33 vulkaanuitbarstingen zijn op de wereld. Ongeveer net zoveel als nog niet zo lang geleden in een heel jaar.
Dat zijn geen incidenten, maar is onderdeel van een wereldwijde trend. De afgelopen jaren worden er talloze records gebroken op dit gebied en er is geen enkele aanwijzing dat het afneemt.
Overal ter wereld is er sprake van vulkanen die jaren en soms zelfs honderden of duizenden jaren hebben geslapen en nu opeens wakker worden.
Wanneer we praten over vulkaanuitbarstingen hebben we het over “gewone” vulkanen, niet over de supervulkanen.
De term supervulkaan wordt gebruikt voor vulkanen die in staat worden geacht supererupties voort te brengen, waarbij meer dan 1000 km³ tefra wordt uitgeworpen (VEI=8). Het zijn de zeldzaamste en tegelijk meest verwoestende vulkanische uitbarstingen. De gevolgen zijn mondiaal en catastrofaal: door het stof in de hogere luchtlagen kan de temperatuur op aarde met meerdere graden dalen. Volgens sommige geleerden kan een dergelijke uitbarsting zelfs een nieuwe ijstijd uitlokken.
Wanneer een dergelijk monster zou uitbarsten, zijn de rapen gaat voor wat een groot deel van de wereld betreft.
Eén van de meest bekende supervulkanen bevindt zich onder het bekende Nationale Park in Amerika, Yellowstone.
Want onder dit park bevindt zich een zogenaamde supervulkaan waarvan wetenschappers zeggen dat hij ieder moment tot uitbarsting kan komen. En wanneer dit gebeurt zal geheel Noord Amerika worden begraven onder een metersdikke laag lava.
Tijdens een onlangs gehouden vergadering van de American Geophysical Union claimden wetenschappers van de Universiteit van Utah dat de magmakamer onder Yellowstone Park ongeveer 2,5 keer groter is (250%) dan men altijd heeft gedacht.
Volgens The New York Post is deze ondergrondse magmagrot ongeveer 90 kilometer lang en 35 kilometer breed en bevat deze miljarden kubieke meters gesmolten rots.
Zo vertelde professor Bob Smith van de Universiteit van Utah de BBC: “We hebben daar een lange tijd gewerkt en we dachten altijd al dat het groter zou zijn… maar wat we nu ontdekt hebben is verbazingwekkend”.
Onderzoekers zijn inderdaad al langere tijd bezig om te ontdekken wat er zich precies onder Yellowstone Park bevindt. Het is dankzij een serie kleine aardbevingen dat er vooruitgang is geboekt op dit front. Er is dan nu de bevestiging dat er letterlijk honderden vierkante kilometers van gesmolten magma onder het oppervlak van het park liggen te wachten om uit te barsten.
Alhoewel het al langere tijd bekend is dat er zich vulkanisch magma onder het park bevindt is het pas de afgelopen jaren voor de wetenschappers mogelijk geweest om te bepalen of dit nu wel of niet een onmiddellijke bedreiging vormt. Gebaseerd op het beschikbare bewijs is men van mening dat de Yellowstone supervulkaan ieder moment kan uitbarsten.
Dat dit zo is, heeft men kunnen vaststellen door een analyse van de rotsen en de grondlagen. Uit de genomen monsters blijkt ook dat de laatste keer dat dit gebeurd is, geheel Noord Amerika is bedolven onder een as- en magmalaag. De stromen van gesmolten rots waren honderden kilometers lang en breed.
Nu is er in Amerika weer de nodige ophef ontstaan aangaande de situatie rondom Yellowstone Park.
Het begint bij de enorme bosbranden in Californië, waarbij mensen die dit volgen op speciale kaarten ook vreemde dingen ontdekken bij Yellowstone Park.
Iemand die bij uitstek geschikt is om dit alles te analyseren is een man die op Youtube bekend staat onder de naam Dutchsinse.
De volgende video behandelt bovenstaande door Dutchsinse, maar daarin komt hij ook tot de conclusie dat de vreemde bosbranden allemaal voorvallen aan de rand van de ondergrondse magmakamer van de Yellowstone supervulkaan.
Deze is zoals we hierboven hebben gezien, enorm en strekt zich uit over meerdere staten.
Ook komen er enorme concentraties gassen vrij die in de atmosfeer terechtkomen zoals koolstofmonoxide, koolstofdioxide en ook zwaveldioxide. Vooral de laatste is een gas dat vaak vrijkomt voordat er een vulkaanuitbarsting plaatsvindt.
Dit alles wil niet zeggen dat de Yellowstone vulkaan volgende week tot uitbarsting zal komen, maar het zijn wel tekenen van verhoogde ondergrondse activiteit.
Toen Dutschsinse vorig jaar kwam met het verhaal van de man met de honden in de buurt van Yellowstone kreeg hij prompt een ban van Google aan de broek. Deze man woont al jaren aan de rand van Yellowstone en gaat daar vaak wandelen met zijn honden die dan in een meer gingen zwemmen. Toen ze dat eind vorig jaar op een gegeven moment weer deden, was plotseling het water zo heet geworden dat de honden het niet hebben overleefd en de man zelf ternauwernood omdat hij probeerde de honden te redden.
Men doet wanhopige pogingen om dit soort verhalen buiten de media te houden, want het laatste wat men wil, is uiteraard paniek of een beter inzicht veroorzaken.
Het rommelt letterlijk bijna overal op aarde. Mensen die willen geloven dat dit alles wordt veroorzaakt door de mens staat dit uiteraard vrij om te geloven. Wij echter denken dat dit alles wordt veroorzaakt door heftige krachten die van buiten onze planeet op ons inwerken. Net zoals dat op dit moment gebeurt met iedere planeet in ons zonnestelsel.
Eyewitness states: Hello, I saw this today, do not know is already known. sorry for my bad English. I'm Dutch :) This is a mind-blowing discovery off the coast of Venezuela. An alien base was found using Google online map by a reader that goes by Mario. The base is wide, over 4.8 miles wide by 67 miles long...3X longer if you untangle it. Also just above it is a long 4.8 mile wide strip of small black rectangular structures on the bottom of the ocean. I made a close up of one of them so you can see its amazing shape. The close up structure is 1 mile by 1 mile. Amazing proof that aliens do use the bottom of Earths oceans at there personal playground. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
This was sent into me this week by a reader here at UFO Sightings Daily. There is a giant 6 pointed star that looks a lot like the Star of David, a Jewish symbol of sorts. This may be an ancient drawing made by a tribe long ago that followed the Jewish faith. Much like the Nazca lines in Peru were made for the gods to see. It was made from ancient tribes of people placing their structures in this design. Over hundreds and thousands of years, the desert changes very little, so I assume the outlines are sand covering the stone broken walls. Thanks to anonymous for telling me about this. Wow, this really looks like the surface of Mars here. There is also a giant face directly above it in the mountains, which always means alien were involved and created the face to mark their territory...a cultural thing many alien species follow. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Anonymous Eyewitness states: Hi, please see these structures and explain them, they are in the empty quarter, the largest sand dune desert in the world.
Two more ancient structures below not far way from the star.

Ancient Aliens – The Mysterious Nine History Channel, Season 11, Episode 8 8th July 2016
In 2013, former Canadian Minister of Defense, Paul Hellyer, made a shocking claim–that there is a federation of extraterrestrial beings monitoring and guiding humanity. But why would such an esteemed politician make such a controversial announcement? Ancient Astronaut theorists believe evidence can be found throughout history to prove his claims are true. Stories of emperors, kings and pharaohs consulting a pantheon of nine gods can be found in virtually every culture across the globe. Even channeling sessions conducted by CIA scientists in the 1950s connected with an otherworldly group of entities called “The Nine” — extraterrestrials here to influence the events on Earth. Could there be an intergalactic council of nine secretly working behind the scenes, dictating the course of humanity?

Ancient Aliens – The Wisdom Keepers History Channel, Season 11, Episode 7 24th June 2016
The Aborigines of Australia are the oldest, continuously surviving society on Earth. The stories preserved in their oral tradition are said to date back over 60,000 years, to an era they call the “Dreamtime” and contain fascinating descriptions about how life began and our planet was seeded by extraterrestrials. Linguistic experts have just discovered that many of these indigenous legends can be scientifically verified by examining the geological record. Ancient Astronaut theorists propose that if the Aboriginal’s oral traditions are indeed this accurate, then perhaps the tales they tell about sky gods visiting Earth in large, fire-spewing crafts are true as well. Could the ultimate evidence about our extraterrestrial past be found within the sacred stories, sites, and rituals of Australia’s Wisdom Keepers?
Bright flying saucer hovering above Daytona Beach, Florida 20-Jul-2016
Bright flying saucer hovering above Daytona Beach, Florida 20-Jul-2016
Here’s a new video of a bright disc-shaped object in the sky above Daytona Beach. This was filmed on 20th July 2016.
Witness report:Saturn like object hovering 1 mile away. Bright blinking colored lights. Hovered then turned south and moved away slowly then VERY fast. My wife and I were at a hotel on the beach in Daytona Beach Florida on 7/20/16. The hotel is on SR A1A about 2.0 miles south of US 92. The time was 8:52 PM and it had just turned dark.
We were sitting in the lawn area overlooking the ocean when we heard several people in a parking lot next to us to the south speaking loudly and pointing to a blinking object in the sky. The object was about ½ mile south of our position, at about a 30–45 degree angle from our position, hovering over the beach at maybe 500’ (?). From our position it looked small maybe about the size of a penny held at arm’s length.
It looked like a sphere with a ring around it, kind of like the planet Saturn. It had a lot of lights on it many different colors. Very bright white/silver, green maybe others, not sure. The white/silver lights were constant and there were others blinking. There was a violet one on the bottom that blinked a lot slower than the others, maybe once every second. The others were faster.
The object hovered for about a minute that we observed. It then slowly turned west then south arcing slightly as it did. It then headed south slowly then VERY quickly picked up speed and continued south down the beach until we lost sight of it.
My wife noted there was a small plane approaching the object from the north and when the plane got really close, the object turned and quickly sped away. As my wife said “it hauled butt”.
I had difficulty getting my phone camera to focus in the dark but managed to snap one picture as soon as I saw it, then started video recording for 30 seconds or so. I turned off video so I could snap another picture. When I turned it off the object had started its turn. I turned the video back on until I lost sight of it.
We are not sure what this was. It was definitely not a plane or helicopter. It couldn’t have been a drone as the drone would have to have been a big one, at least 10-15 feet in diameter. No other logical explanation to what we saw.
Marsrover Curiosity kan nu zelfstandig laserstralen schieten
Marsrover Curiosity kan nu zelfstandig laserstralen schieten
Tim Kraaijvanger
Marsrover Curiosity is uitgerust met een laserinstrument om laserpulsen af te vuren op stenen. Hierdoor verdampt een klein beetje materiaal van de steen, waarna de samenstelling geanalyseerd kan worden. Vanaf nu kan Curiosity het ChemChem-laserinstrument zelfstandig gebruiken.
Tot juli 2016 is het ChemChem-laserinstrument al meer dan 350.000 keer gebruikt. Dankzij deze honderdduizenden afgeschoten laserpulsen weten astronomen nu veel meer over de omstandigheden waarin de stenen zijn gevormd. Hierdoor leren wetenschappers meer over het verre verleden van Mars.
VIER JAAR OP MARS
Curiosity is alweer vier jaar op Mars en rijdt in de Gale-krater. Deze krater bevindt zich nabij de evenaar en is zeer droog. Tenminste: nu is dat zo. In het verleden was dat wel anders. Miljarden jaren geleden waren in de krater meren te vinden die een prettig onderkomen kunnen zijn geweest voor microben. Het is dan ook een zeer interessante plaats om onderzoek te doen.
De afgelopen jaren kozen wetenschappers op aarde de doelwitten voor het ChemChem-instrument, maar dat verandert nu. Curiosity selecteert vanaf nu zelfstandig welke stenen interessant zijn om te ‘zappen’. “Dit is handig, want als er vertraging is in de communicatie tussen de aarde en de rode planeet, dan kan Curiosity gewoon doorgaan”, vertelt ingenieur Tara Estlin van NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Algoritme Marsrover Curiosity maakt gebruik van een algoritme om interessante stenen te selecteren. Dit algoritme is geprogrammeerd door wetenschappers. Een interessant doelwit moet aan enkele voorwaarden voldoen. Zo kijkt de rover o.a. naar de grootte en helderheid van stenen. De criteria kunnen worden aangepast wanneer de wetenschappelijke doelstellingen veranderen of wanneer Curiosity een ander gebied bereikt.
Marsrover Curiosity op de rode planeet.
“Om een laserpuls goed af te vuren, moet Curiosity stilstaan, waarna wetenschappers op aarde de parameters finetunen”, zegt Estlin. Dat kan natuurlijk sneller. “Dankzij AEGIS (de software, red.) kan Curiosity objecten nu snel identificeren en in een keer goed raken.”
Niet volledig zelfstandig Overigens is het niet zo dat Curiosity vanaf nu alles zelfstandig doet. Wetenschappers kunnen het ChemChem-laserinstrument nog steeds vanaf aarde besturen en de Marsrover opdrachten geven om bepaalde stenen te beschieten.
De kometenjager zal een laatste rustplaats vinden op de kop van het kosmische badeendje dat deze enkele jaren bestudeerde: komeet 67P/C-G.
Eerder deze maand liet ESA al weten de missie van Rosetta op 30 september te willen beëindigen door de sonde gecontroleerd af te laten dalen naar het oppervlak van komeet 67P/C-G. Onduidelijk was toen nog waar de sonde exact moest gaan landen. Maar dat heeft ESA nu bekend gemaakt. Rosetta zal een laatste rustplaats vinden in Ma’at: een regio op de ‘kop’ van de komeet (zie afbeelding hieronder).
Hier zie je de komeet 67P/C-G in volle glorie. De komeet lijkt met een beetje fantasie op een badeendje met een klein kopje, een hals en een groter lijf. Rosetta zal landen op ‘de kop’.
Afbeelding: ESA / Rosetta / NAVCAM.
Interessant Waarom hier? Nou, mede omdat dit deel van de komeet heel interessant is. Eenmaal op het oppervlak van de komeet zal Rosetta waarschijnlijk niet langer functioneren, maar tijdens de afdaling is de sonde nog in de gelegenheid gegevens te verzamelen en naar de aarde te sturen. Een goede reden om dus te landen in een gebied dat wetenschappelijk gezien interessant is. En dat is Ma’at. Het gebied bevat een aantal ‘actieve putten’. Dat zijn wat dieper gelegen gebieden waaruit gaspluimen ontsnappen.
Einde missie Als alles volgens plan gaat, zal Rosetta op 30 september om 12.30 uur (Nederlandse tijd) op de komeet landen. Aangenomen wordt dat er met die landing een einde komt aan de missie: ESA gaat ervan uit dat Rosetta eenmaal op het oppervlak van 67P/C-G niet meer met de aarde kan communiceren.
Op deze afbeelding wordt de landingsplek van Rosetta aangeduid.
Afbeelding: ESA.
Dat Rosetta al na twee jaar onderzoek de opdracht krijgt de missie te beëindigen, is heel goed te verklaren. De sonde was 12 jaar onderweg naar komeet 67P/C-G en heeft het in de nabijheid van de komeet – die stof en gas spuwt – niet gemakkelijk gehad. Bovendien haast de komeet zich op dit moment weg van de zon, waardoor het steeds kouder en donkerder wordt en daarmee wordt het voor Rosetta steeds moeilijker om te functioneren. Het zal best even slikken zijn als de missie straks tot een einde komt. Want wat was het een avontuur met Rosetta en niet te vergeten lander Philae! Gelukkig heeft de missie een schat aan informatie opgeleverd over komeet 67P/C-G. Zo ontdekte Rosetta ingrediënten voor leven op de komeet. En bleek uit het onderzoek van Rosetta dat de komeet een samensmelting is van twee kometen. Ook heeft de missie prachtige foto’s opgeleverd van 67P/C-G.
Mare Imbrium is ontstaan door botsing met protoplaneet
Mare Imbrium is ontstaan door botsing met protoplaneet
Tim Kraaijvanger
Vier miljard jaar geleden is Mare Imbrium op de maan ontstaan. Wetenschappers hebben nu berekend hoe groot het object was die de ‘maanzee’ creëerde. Het blijkt een flinke jongen te zijn.
Op basis van computersimulaties en experimenten beweren twee Amerikaanse onderzoekers dat het Mare Imbrium is gevormd door object van minstens 250 kilometer groot. Eerder gingen astronomen uit van een veel kleiner en lichter object, namelijk eentje die twee keer kleiner en tien keer lichter is dan het daadwerkelijke inslagobject.
“We hebben aangetoond dat Mare Imbrium is gevormd door een enorm object, groot genoeg om geclassificeerd te worden als een protoplaneet”, zegt professor Pete Schultz aan de Brown universiteit. “Dit is de eerste keer dat er een schatting is gemaakt van de grootte van het inslagobject door te kijken naar landschapskenmerken.” Zo is het duizend kilometer grote bekken omringd door allerlei kraters en groeven, die vanaf de aarde met kleinere telescopen zichtbaar zijn. Deze groeven en kraters zijn gevormd door neervallend puin kort na de meteorietinslag.
De locatie van Mare Imbrium. De maanzee is vanaf het aardoppervlak met het blote oog te zien.
Experimenten De meeste groeven bevinden zich aan de zuidwestkant van Mare Imbrium. Volgens de onderzoekers betekent dit dat de protoplaneet uit het noordwesten kwam en schuin op het maanoppervlak insloeg. De onderzoekers hebben deze inslag nagebootst door in een laboratorium plaatjes aluminium te bestoken met mini-projectielen. In combinatie met computermodellen konden zij vervolgens het gewicht en de omvang van het object vaststellen.
“De schattingen zijn aan de lage kant”, vervolgt Schultz. “Het is aannemelijk dat het object nog groter was. Mogelijk zelfs 300 kilometer groot.”
Late Zware Bombardement Mare Imbrium is ontstaan tijdens het Late Zware Bombardement, een periode waarin planeten in het binnenste gedeelte van het zonnestelsel meer meteorieten om de oren kregen. Het is nog onbekend waarom dit gebeurde. Wellicht is de baan van Jupiter kleiner geworden, waardoor de banen van veel planetoïden veranderden. Een andere mogelijkheid is een zware botsing in het zonnestelsel, waardoor er veel rondvliegend puin ontstond. Op aarde zijn geen sporen van het Late Zware Bombardement aangetroffen, omdat de oudste aardse gesteenten maar 3,8 miljard jaar oud zijn. Wetenschappers schatten dat onze planeet elke honderd jaar werd getroffen door een serieuze inslag en dat er een paar kraters met diameters groter dan 5.000 kilometer moeten zijn geweest.
The largest underground lake in the US is under Tennessee, discovered by a 13 yr old boy
The largest underground lake in the US is under Tennessee, discovered by a 13 yr old boy
Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East Tennessee is a remarkable body of water known as The Lost Sea. Listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as America’s largest underground lake, the Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indians.
One of the cave’s earliest visitors was a giant Pleistocene jaguar whose tracks have been found deep inside the cave. Some 20,000 years ago the animal apparently lost his way in the darkness and wandered for days before plunging into a crevice far from the daylight he sought. Some of the bones, discovered in 1939, are now on display in the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Pleistocene Jaguar on display in California La Brea tar pits museum
Boy makes a discovery
The lake was discovered in 1905 by a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands. As the story goes Sands, who often played in the cave, happened upon a small opening and crawled through. The room was so large he was unable to see the ends of the room with his lantern, so he threw balls of mud in all directions and heard splashes. When he went back home and told people of his discovery they were hesitant to believe him. By the time Ben convinced his father to go back down with him to explore it further, the water level had risen, hiding the cave entrance from them. It was rediscovered by local explorers several years later.
Civil war mine
When the first white settlers arrived in the Tennessee Valley in the 1820’s they also discovered the cave and used it for storing potatoes and other vegetables.
During the Civil War the Confederate Army mined the cave for saltpeter, a commodity necessary to the manufacture of gunpowder.
Still being explored
The full extent of the Lost Sea is still not known despite the efforts of teams of divers armed with modern exploration equipment. Beneath the calm waters of the giant lake, the adventurous divers have found a series of large rooms filled entirely with water. More than 13 total acres have been mapped so far. Perhaps the lost sea is the cause of the Ebbing and Flowing stream in Rogersville
In 1915 the idea of developing the cave for the public was conceived. A dance floor was installed in one of the large upper rooms.
Fish of the Lost Cave
There are even fish in the lake, primarily rainbowless rainbow trout. Predecessors of these fish had been carried down through Craighead Caverns and released into the lake by people curious to see if they would escape and reveal a conduit to another body of water. But they stayed put. And in the deep, lightless cave their eyesight and color faded and their sex drive vanished. Since the lake itself sustains no plant or animal life, the trout learned to swarm around visiting rafts and launch themselves into airborne food deliveries. “Now we restock them and keep them on as a tourist attraction.”
In May, NASA blew our minds when they announced that they had discovered 1,284 planets outside our solar systemusing the Kepler space telescope. This more than doubled the number of known Kepler exoplanets.
The Kepler space telescope is a space observatory launched in 2009 with the mission of finding Earth-sized planets in areas that could potentially support life.
The telescope searches for the faint dimming that occurs when a planet crosses the path of one of those stars. The goal of this is to identify possible exoplanets that are Earth-sized, or larger, in zones favorable to life.
Originally, Kepler surveyed one unchanging patch of sky in the northern hemisphere.
In 2014, after the Kepler telescope lost its ability to remain focused on this one patch, NASA started K2, a follow-up to the 2009 Kepler mission. In K2, Kepler’s field of view sweeps a band across the entire sky, pointing to a new portion every 80 days, Time reports.
The new discoveries were made after the astronomers combined data from NASA’s K2 mission with follow-up observations from Earth-based telescopes.
One planetary system they found has four potentially rocky planets. They are 20-50% larger than Earth and they orbit a star less than half the size of the Sun, with less light output. Two of them may experience radiation levels from their star comparable to those on Earth.
The orbital periods of the planets range from five-and-a-half to 24 days. But despite these close orbits, Ian Crossfield, a Sagan Fellow at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory who led the research effort, said that scientists can’t rule out the possibility of life arising on planets like these.
“Because these smaller stars are so common in the Milky Way, it could be that life occurs much more frequently on planets orbiting cool, red stars rather than planets around stars like our Sun,” Crossfield said in the press release.
According to the press release, this is the biggest haul of worlds uncovered by the stabilized and repurposed Kepler space telescope in its K2 mission. And the discoveries will likely continue.
“Our analysis shows that by the end of the K2 mission, we expect to double or triple the number of relatively small planets orbiting nearby, bright stars,” Crossfield said. “And because these planets orbit brighter stars, we’ll be able to more easily study everything possible about them, whether it’s measuring their masses with Doppler spectroscopy — already under way at Keck Observatory and APF — or measuring their atmospheric makeup with the James Webb Space Telescope in just a few years.”

Metallic Orb UFOs Seen While Stalking Military Cargo Plane over Memphis Highway
Metallic Orb UFOs Seen While Stalking Military Cargo Plane over Memphis Highway
An energetic UFO encounter involving four metallic unidentified sphere-like objects and a military plane took place only a few days ago, and there are wintnessess talking about it in detail.
On July 12, 2016, around 12 p.m. in Memphis, Tennessee, a military cargo plane was taking off from the Memphis International Airport. Five miles further, a man working in a warehouse was taking his lunch break and had a very clear close view of the cargo plane’s take off.
Moments after, he witnessed how four metallic orb UFOs came out of a cloud then briefly followed the military cargo plane, forcing it to make a radical evasive maneuver and return to the take off point. Finally, the four metallic orbs vanished again into the clouds. The sharp turn after the sighting of the four orbs suggests that the crew was not aware of them, more like responded to a life-threatening situation.
“I saw a large military cargo plane — the kind that drops tanks out of the back with parachutes attached — taking off from the airport heading south, then turned to head east as it was taking off,” the witness reported.
“The plane made a small maneuver as the metallic orbs appeared out of the small clouds,” he wrote. “I thought to myself that the huge plane shouldn’t try that at such a slow speed.”
In the turmoil, the startled man managed to get a hold of himself and grabbed the camera to get a full picture of the sudden commotion in the sky. Despite the rapid deployment of the unexpected event, the witness was lucky enought to take a snapshot of the plane and the four orbs flying in a formation, in the same frame.
Orb UFOs seen from an airplane
To his surprise, after checking the picture and looked back to the sky, the orbs were nowhere to be seen; most likely, the UFOs withdrawn into the clouds.
The witness report was submitted to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and filed as Case 77636.
Involving the nature of the four metallic orbs, UFO blogger Scott C. Waring believes they were metallic alien orb UFOs with the mission to scan for technology, thus the planes attracted their attention as a valid scan target.
“Perhaps the orbs were hiding and waiting for planes, so they could scan the technology.”, excerpt from a post in Waring’s blog, UFO Sightings Daily.
It is well known among UFO enthusiasts that the areas surrounding Memphis International Airport are linked to multiple UFO sightings, making it a genuine UFO hotspot.
Another sighting also near the airport was reported on June 22, 2016, over highway I-55. As the witness was driving southbound to Memphis Airport, he approached the Delta Refinery about 3:30 a.m., spotted a UFO hovering in the sky at about 1000 – 1500 feet high.
“As we got closer, I slowed and rolled my window down and stuck my head out to get a better view. It was not moving nor making any sound,” the unnamed witness reported. “I could not believe what I was seeing.”
The witness was southbound along I-55 in Memphis near the Delta Refinery, pictured, when the UFOs were spotted hovering above on June 22, 2016. (Credit/Google)
“It seemed to be over twice the size of a 737 and [was] just hanging there in the sky, shaped like a V made of two rectangles, cut at the ends to make a point. I would guess the legs of the V to be 30-feet to 50-feet square and 200-feet to 300-feet long with the span at the back of the V about 150-feet.”
In the rush of the moment, the witness was tempted to search for the camera in his luggage but the risk of an accident made him give up the idea.
“The traffic was light, but it was all tractor trailer rigs,” he reported. “I tried adjusting my left rear view mirror, but could not see it even when I looked back.”
So far we’ve had no reaction from the authorities, but probably if any attention would be given, those so-called “UFO encounters” would be rapidly debunked as being military crafts in development, or some form of natural phenomenon that occurs briskly.

(VIDEO)Gargantuan UFO Photographed while Taking Off from the Sun – Evidence of Portal Travel?
Skywatchers using the solar visualization tool Helioviewer managed to capture a strange object the size of Earth’s moon just as it was blasting off from the surface of the Sun.
On July 18, UFO hunters examining imagery sent back by the SDO’s (Solar Dynamic Observatory) AIA 304 instrument were quick to spot the alien presence and their massive unidentified flying object, once again setting ablaze the UFO community. It isn’t the first time photographic evidence for such an object was provided, but rather the latest in a series of incidents in which our star plays a role we don’t yet understand.
Helioviewer allows users to place the Earth in images of the Sun, to better get a sense of how large it is. This allowed YouTube user UFOvni2012 to assess the size of the unidentified craft as several thousand miles across. If a UFO this big suddenly appeared in the sky over our heads, things would go dark pretty soon.
Naturally, a craft this size must have colossal energy needs, leading many to believe it had just finished refueling with the Sun’s plasma and was in the process of taking off. The straight stream of ejecta it’s leaving behind seems to support this theory.
If you were worried aliens siphoning fuel from our star might somehow deplete it, don’t. The Sun outputs 3.8 x Joules of energy every second, equivalent to roughly 25 septillion average cars, so there’s plenty to go around. Even so, the implications of aliens leeching off our primary energy source are serious, though we couldn’t possibly do anything about it.
Another explanation for the alien presence near the Sun was proposed by Swiss researcher Nassim Haramein, who is famous for his controversial theories. Haramein surmised that extraterrestrials are using our Sun as a gateway for interstellar travel. He believes the alien ships somehow manipulate the extreme forces and phenomena present in or around the sun into opening wormholes that connect the Solar System to various other places in our universe, maybe going even further than that.
The Swiss scientist claims that the black spots that appear on the surface of the Sun are in fact black holes. Under very specific conditions, these black holes may twist space-time in such a manner that they form wormholes. Once opened up, these cosmic pathways take months to close, enabling safe passage between destinations or dimensions. These black holes are created and maintained open by Hawking radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation exuded near a region of the black hole called the event horizon.
Haramein says these wormholes are present not only on the surface of stars, but inside every planet as well. He believes that once a civilization attains a certain level of technological development, they could master deep space travel with minimal operational costs.
If Haramein’s suppositions are correct, we might have an answer for the large number of UFOs seen entering Earth’s mantle through active volcanoes. They could be using the immense pressure, heat and electromagnetism inside planets and stars to their advantage. This gives us a clue about the technology they would need to achieve such a feat.
The surface of the Sun reaches a scorching 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. As you go deeper into the star, the temperature and pressure reach well, astronomic values. Near its center, the temperature reaches a whopping 27 million degrees, while the pressure goes up to 340 billion times the Earth’s atmospheric pressure. No metal, alloy or metamaterial developed by mankind can withstand even the surface temperature of the Sun. If the UFO spotted near our star is indeed physical in nature, we speculate it must be shielded by magnetic or force fields, but this supposition is susceptible to the limitations of our own technology and what we currently believe to be physically possible. The extraterrestrials could be manipulating matter and forces in ways we haven’t even dreamed yet.
This incident and many others like it refer the curious mind to a belief system that shaped the lives of ancient people, and whose influence still radiates today.
Sun worship. While it may seem self-evident that an archaic society with few established concepts about divinity would naturally glorify the big ball of fire that gives life and renews the world, their mythologies present some extraordinary facets. From bowing to the east, to the myth of Phaeton and the Sun Chariot, the heliolatrous aspect of bygone cultures focuses on some characters that could be direct references to extraterrestrials entering our Solar System through the Sun itself.
Are the ancient sun gods really constructs of the human mind or physical beings with technology so advanced, it couldn’t be distinguished from magic? Were their sun chariots actually spacecraft like the ones photographed near our sun? Will they be coming back?
Can NASA Convert Asteroids into Spacecraft? They Plan to Find Out!
Can NASA Convert Asteroids into Spacecraft? They Plan to Find Out!
NASA has recently awarded a grant to California-based company Made in Space, in an effort to determine whether asteroids could be turned into craft capable of traversing interplanetary space.
Asteroids are a big deal, and not just in the cataclysmic, purveyor of planet-wide death sense. Scientists believe that, along with comets, asteroids provided young Earth with the elements needed to spawn and sustain life. During an event known as the Late Heavy Bombardment, a large number of asteroids was running amok in the early Solar System and many of them crashed into Earth and the other rocky planets. The majority of heavy metals that made possible Homo sapiens’ technological ascension from the Stone Age can be traced back to those resource-laden planetary pummelers.
As we continue our journey into the space age, Now in the space age, mankind sets its eyes on far horizons, but as our hopes and expectations grow, so does our need for resources. Scientists speculate that the next Gold Rush will take place in outer space, focusing on asteroids rather than hills or riverbeds. Analysis shows asteroids are abundant in raw materials and they’re not that hard to find, either.
Based on this philosophy, Made in Space are developing a project called RAMA (Reconstituting Asteroids into Mechanical Automata) which aims to ease the process of space colonization by readily-providing the resources required. Currently, the costs of getting stuff into orbit are high and the efficiency is pretty low. Asteroid mining would make things a whole lot easier, as Made in Space co-founder and CTO Jason Dunn told Space.com:
“Today, we have the ability to bring resources from Earth. But when we get to a tipping point where we need the resources in space, then the question becomes, ‘Where do they come from and how do we get them, and how do we deliver them to the location that we need?’ This is a way to do it.”
Made in Space plan to jumpstart the operation by sending a Seed Craft to one of the asteroids located in Earth’s vicinity. Once the craft gathers enough materials, it could start building propulsion, navigation and other systems autonomously and with the aid of 3D printing. Equipped with this setup, asteroids could be remotely guided to mining stations in Earth’s orbit or anywhere else, for that matter. The probe would then fly to its next set of targets, slapping rudimentary thrusters and stabilizers on them and sending them our way.
Dunn pointed out these cosmicpunk vessels won’t resemble traditional spacecraft as we’ve come to know them. The asteroids’ momentum isn’t going to be delivered by rockets, but by a catapult system that ejects chunks of space rock in a controlled fashion. Made in Space even opted not to include computers because they would require complex circuitry the likes of which the Seed Craft won’t be able to make. Instead, they believe a mechanical computer assembled from 3D printed parts could perform the task quite well. Such computers have been around for a while and autonomous 3D printers can make them.
The potential benefits of this ambitious project are what caught the Space Agency’s interest. This April, NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program awarded Made in Space a $100,000 grant to assess the plan’s feasibility. If they make it through, they’ll receive a Phase 2 NIAC award, worth $500,000. And there are reasons to believe the thing is indeed doable.
“At the end of the day, the thing that we want the asteroid to be is technology that has existed for a long time,” Dunn said. “The question is, ‘Can we convert an asteroid into that technology at some point in the future?'” “We think the answer is yes.”
That point in the future wont be next year, because the technology is still in its infancy and baby steps are notoriously hard to take. Current discussions are based mostly on speculation and Dunn predicts the effort will require at least two decades to mature but, by that time, asteroid mining will have evolved enough to make this venture profitable. That’s what mining is all about, right?
Wereldwijd is het een steeds vaker terugkerend fenomeen dat er door mensen op gezette tijden enorme knallen in de lucht worden gehoord.
Ook in ons land komen dit soort dingen voor en afgelopen weekend gebeurde dit in Helmond.
Het volgende verslag ontvingen wij van een lezer (dank!):
In de gehele regio Helmond is afgelopen nacht van Za23 op Zo24 juli een enorme knal gehoord omstreeks 3.15 uur.
Ik was tegen die tijd wakker van de warmte en hoorde het zelf. Mijn ouders in Mierlo hebben zelfs een schokgolf gevoeld.
Het was absoluut géén vuurwerk en ook geen onweer. Eén zeer luide knal die in je maag stompte, daarna niks meer.
Naspeuring op het lokale nieuws levert niks op. Geen gasontploffing of iets dergelijks, geen onweersmeldingen. Er valt zelfs geen woord over in de media, wat ik raar vind.
Zelf moest ik denken aan het binnendringen van een grote meteoriet, maar ook hier is geen melding over te vinden.
Dit zou de gemoederen eigenlijk bezig moeten houden want F16's vliegen 's nachts niet.
Kortom hier is iets raars geweest vannacht.
In het nieuws blijkt inderdaad niets te vinden, behalve dat op de dag ervoor Eindhoven werd opgeschrikt door een enorme knal, maar deze werd veroorzaakt door onweer:
Een enorme onweersdreun heeft vrijdagochtend veel inwoners van Eindhoven wakker geschud. Omstreeks half zeven was de knal in een groot gebied te horen, tot zelfs in Waalre en Nuenen toe.
De onweersdreun deed ook Twitteraars rechtop in bed zitten. Volgens Eindhovenaar Marijn Kortstra gingen bij hem in de buurt (in de omgeving van de Montgomerylaan - Kruisstraat) zelfs auto-alarmen af. Tjerk Langman spreekt van een 'mega-knal'.
De dreun was het gevolg van een blikseminslag in vier woningen in de Laagstraat, laat een woordvoerster van de Veiligheidsregio weten. "Daarbij zijn alle stoppen in de huizen eruit geknald. Er was wel wat rook, maar geen brand."
Aangezien volgens de lezer er in Helmond geen sprake was van onweer, moet er een andere oorzaak zijn. Als er dan een schokgolf tot in Mierlo is gevoeld, moeten meer mensen dit hebben gehoord en/of opgemerkt.
Graag horen wij dan ook van jou als je ook die enorme knal hebt gehoord.

UFO Over Daytona Beach, Florida On July 20, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 20, 2016 Location of sighting: Daytona Beach, Florida, USA News source: MUFON #77890
This is a strange clover shaped UFO over the beach in Florida. It has five round areas and a larger lower area. Really large, about the size of a motorcycle or car. Proof that aliens are in Florida and since its a long the beach area, it probably came from below the ocean where there may be a base. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: My wife and I were at a hotel on the beach in Daytona Beach Florida on 7/20/16. The hotel is on SR A1A about 2.0 miles south of US 92. The time was 8:52 PM and it had just turned dark. We were sitting in the lawn area overlooking the ocean when we heard several people in a parking lot next to us to the south speaking loudly and pointing to a blinking object in the sky. The object was about ½ mile south of our position, at about a 30–45 degree angle from our position, hovering over the beach at maybe 500’ (?). From our position it looked small maybe about the size of a penny held at arm’s length. It looked like a sphere with a ring around it, kind of like the planet Saturn. It had a lot of lights on it many different colors.
Very bright white/silver, green maybe others, not sure. The white/silver lights were constant and there were others blinking. There was a violet one on the bottom that blinked a lot slower than the others, maybe once every second. The others were faster. The object hovered for about a minute that we observed. It then slowly turned west then south arcing slightly as it did. It then headed south slowly then VERY quickly picked up speed and continued south down the beach until we lost sight of it. My wife noted there was a small plane approaching the object from the north and when the plane got really close, the object turned and quickly sped away. As my wife said "it hauled butt". I had difficulty getting my phone camera to focus in the dark but managed to snap one picture as soon as I saw it, then started video recording for 30 seconds or so. I turned off video so I could snap another picture. When I turned it off the object had started its turn. I turned the video back on until I lost sight of it. We are not sure what this was. It was definitely not a plane or helicopter. It couldn’t have been a drone as the drone would have to have been a big one, at least 10-15 feet in diameter. No other logical explanation to what we saw.

UFO seen and photographed in Poland, This Day In History, July 26, 2003, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 26, 2003 Location of sighting: Brzostek, Poland Source:http://www.uforaport.prv.pl Here is an awesome historical sighting that happened 13 years ago today. We have to look at the past to better understand the present. UFO sightings and dates may have a pattern that we may one day realize. The evidence from sightings of the past, can also teach us about smaller details of movement, speed, position, shape and even how it sounds. This can all help us decide if a recent sighting is real or not. It gives us something to compare it too. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Report states: I just recently received this report from Poland, and because translations are fair at best, I will only relate the very basics of the report, and publish the picture, which says a lot by itself, if legitimate.
I want to thank Tomek Wierszalowicz, of www.uforaport.prv.pl , who has been an indispensable go-between in this investigation. He has worked hard to get permission from the newspaper (Wiadomosci Brzosteckie) to publish the pictures, and has sent me all the photographs on this report. The sighting occurred on Saturday, July 26, 2003, at 14.00 hours. The unidentified object was first noticed as it flew above the city of Skurowa at an extremely high altitude. Then it changed course and flew over a market. The initial photos were taken while the witness (who maintains his anonymity) was in his garden, but when the object began to move away, he looked for a better vantage point.
He quickly ran to his balcony, and took several more photos of the object. As the photos were taken, the object was not very clear to the witness, who hoped that the film would show the object good enough for study. The report stirred enough publicity in the area that a local newspaper carried the report with a photograph. The witness is soliciting corroboration from others, through the newspaper, who saw and / or photographed the unknown object.
Deze film werd slechts één keer getoond, en zonder voorafgaande kennisgeving op stations in slechts vijf Amerikaanse steden. De originele Michael Eisner intro sloeg me recht in de nostalgie.
Lost Walt Disney UFO Documentary, Alien Encounters: In maart 1995, zond Walt Disney Television een intrigerende UFO special uit. Deze zeer ongewone UFO-video special presenteert UFO’s en buitenaards bezoek aan onze planeet als een zaak van feiten.
Op het eerste gezicht, lijkt de special een promotie van het “New Tomorrowland” gebied, met name de nieuwe “Alien Encounters” rit. Dit was in het midden van de jaren ’90. (Deze onderneming werd vrijwel onmiddellijk geannuleerd)
Echter, bij nader inzien is het veel meer. Het gehele programma, dat opent met een kort segment van Disney CEO Michael Eisner, trekt niet eens het bestaan van UFO’s en een grote UFO cover-up in twijfel. In feite, heeft het soms een toon van spot Tegen degenen die nog steeds ontkennen dat UFO’s bestaan; vrij uniek.
Het is makkelijk te vinden vandaag online, maar de omstandigheden van de productie en (zeer beperkte) distributie, en de vreemde stevige visie op de realiteit van het fenomeen, maken het beslist vreemd en uniek.
‘Als alles wat Disney wilde doen het promoten van haar nieuwe themapark ride was met een buitenaards thema, hoeven ze lang niet zo veel moeite te doe. Zoals het is, lijkt het bijna alsof de rit-promo missie werd gebruikt als een Trojaans paard/excuus om veel meer subversieve en revolutionaire informatie te leveren.
Misschien was dit echt een disclosure oefening die is mis gegaan, misschien waren het out-of-control filmmakers die een eindproduct afleverden waarvan de Disney leiding niet wist wat ervan te maken. Maar het is zeker leuk speculeren, en de show is sindsdien een UFO samenzwering geworden. Een prikkelende hint naar de waarheid.

Duitse wetenschappers bewijzen dat er leven is na de dood
Duitse wetenschappers bewijzen dat er leven is na de dood
Een team van psychologen en artsen verbonden aan de Technische Universiteit van Berlijn, hebben aangekondigd dat zij door klinische experimenten , het bestaan van een of andere vorm van leven na de dood hebben kunnen bewijzen.
Dit verbazingwekkende bericht is gebaseerd op de conclusies van een studie met behulp van een nieuw type van bijna-doodervaringen onder medisch toezicht, die het mogelijk maakt om patiënten in een toestand van klinisch dood te brengen voor bijna 20 minuten voordat ze weer tot leven worden gebracht.
Dit omstreden proces dat werd herhaald met 944 vrijwilligers in de laatste vier jaar, vereist een complex mengsel van medicijnen zoals epinefrine en dimethyltryptamine, bestemd om het lichaam in een toestand van klinische dood te brengen en om nadien het reanimatie proces zonder schade te overleven.
Het lichaam van de proefpersoon werd vervolgens in een tijdelijke coma-achtige toestand geïnduceerd door een mengsel van andere geneesmiddelen.
Deze medicijnen zorgden er ook voor dat de ozon uit het bloed werd gefilterd tijdens het reanimatie proces 18 minuten later.
De extreem lange duur van deze ervaring werd pas onlangs mogelijk gemaakt door de ontwikkeling van een nieuwe cardiopulmonaire recitatie (CPR) machine genaamd de AutoPulse.
Dit soort toestel werd reeds de afgelopen jaren gebruikt om mensen te reanimeren die 40 minuten tot 1 uur waren overleden.
Het team van wetenschappers onder leiding van Dr Berthold Ackermann, heeft het hele proces gevolgd en ze hebben getuigenissen van de proefpersonen verzameld.
Hoewel er enkele kleine variaties zijn van individu tot individu, hadden alle proefpersonen herinneringen aan hun periode van klinische dood.
Een overgrote meerderheid van hen beschreef een aantal zeer vergelijkbare sensaties.
De wetenschappers zeggen zich bewust te zijn van het feit dat hun conclusies schokkend kunnen zijn voor veel mensen, zoals het feit dat bijvoorbeeld religieuze overtuigingen van verschillende onderwerpen geen invloed hebben gehad op de sensaties en ervaringen die zij beschreven aan het einde van het experiment.
Onder de vrijwilligers waren zowel christenen, moslims, joden, hindoes en atheïsten.
“Ik weet dat onze resultaten de overtuigingen van veel mensen kunnen verstoren”, aldus professor Ackermann.
“Maar op een bepaalde manier,hebben we een antwoord gegeven op een van de grootste vragen in de geschiedenis van de mensheid, dus ik hoop dat deze mensen in staat zullen zijn om ons te vergeven .”
” Ja, er is leven na de dood en het lijkt erop dat dit geldt voor iedereen. ”
Solar Probe Plus: We're Going to Dive Into the Sun
Solar Probe Plus: We're Going to Dive Into the Sun
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
After 60 years of dreaming of a close-up solar mission, it's quickly approaching time for NASA to realize that goal. Last week, the agency announced that the Solar Probe Plus mission has moved into "advanced development" ahead of a launch in 2018. It's being built by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL).
Solar Probe Plus has an exciting few years ahead of it following the launch, including no less than seven (!) Venus flybys and a daring plunge into the corona, or the outer atmosphere of the sun. Here are some of the science details for you to brush up on:
1. Staring down the Sun
Where does the sun's energy flow? How is the outer atmosphere heated? These are some of the main questions that NASA's Solar Probe Plus will answer. The microphone drp will happen when the probe gets the chance to fly through the solar corona, something scientists have wanted to do for 60 years but couldn't until the technology caught up. "Solar Probe Plus is a true mission of exploration; for example, the spacecraft will go close enough to the Sun to watch the solar wind speed from subsonic to supersonic, and it will fly ghrough the birthplace of the highest-energy solar particles," JHUAPL wrote on the mission website. "Still, as with any great mission of discovery, Solar Probe Plus is likely to generate more questions than it answers."
It's very common for spacecraft to use gravity assists to reduce their fuel requirements (which saves on launch weight and therefore money). But the tradeoff for Solar Probe Plus will be time as it flies seven times by the planet Venus between 2018 and 2024. It's only after the seventh flyby that Solar Probe Plus will be close enough to the sun to do all of the science that researchers desire. That said, the spacecraft will not be idle during this time. You can bet it will be looking at the star from afar, and that when it flies by Venus at least some science instruments will be turned on to look at the planet. It's like a bonus Venus mission.
Solar Probe Plus will need to withstand a lot of heat when it gets up close to the sun. It's closest approach is expected at 3.7 million miles (5.9 million kilometers), about seven times closer than Mercury ever gets to the sun. This also handily beats the record set by the Helios 2 spacecraft, which really just grazed the inside of Mercury's orbit. It passed about 27 million miles (44 million kilometers) from the sun in Apirl 1976. From both close up and afar, it will look at the solar wind (the stream of particles from the sun). energy transfer through the sun , and something called "dusty plasma" — superheated gas with suspended particles in it — near the sun.
The sun has a lot of mysteries surrounding its magnetic field. The main one is why the sun reverses olarity every 11 years in a cycle which sees it go from a weakling with pracically no sunspots, to a monster spewing solar flares, and back to a weakling again before switching polariteis once more. A bit part of the Solar Probe Plus mission is to probe the magnetic field and other parts of the sun to make better prediction sabout when the next flare will head towrads Earth. Big-enough solar flares can cause damage to satellites and even power lines. This image from the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows just how complicated the magnetic field is. "The complex overlay of lines can teach scientists about the wyas the sun's magnetism changes in response to the constant movemetn on and inside the sun," NASA wrote in March. "Note how the magnetic fields are densest near the bright spots visible on the sun — which are magnetically strong active regions — and many of the field lines link one active region to another."
If you're going to get close to the sun for long periods of time, you have to make sure your spacecraft can take the heat. Solar Probe Plus will carry a huge shield that is eight fee in diameter and 4.5 inches thick, made up of carbon-carbon carbon foam. Its solar arrays, JHUAPL said, will move around to make sure that the panels maintain the proper heat and power, retracting and extending as required. Some "heat-resistant technologies," JHUAPL added, came from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, a Mercury probe that flew by the planet three times before settling into an orbital mission that ran between 2011 and 2015. For example, the solar shield on Solar Probe Plus is similar toe designs of MESSENGER's sunshade.
A new time-lapse videos combines 3,000 images from the DSCOVR satellite's EPIC camera to show a year of Earth's rotation, as seen from a million miles away.
As an Earthling, it's easy to believe that we're standing still. After all, we don't feel any movement in our surroundings. But when you look at the sky, you can see evidence that we are moving.
Some of the earliest astronomers proposed that we live in a geocentric universe, which means that Earth is at the center of everything. They said the sun rotated around us, which caused sunrises and sunsets — same for the movements of the moon and the planets. But there were certain things that didn't work with this vision. Sometimes, a planet would back up in the sky before resuming its forward motion.
We know now that this motion — which is called retrograde motion — happens when Earth is "catching up" with another planet in its orbit. For example, Mars orbits farther from the sun than Earth. At one point in the respective orbits of Earth and Mars, we catch up to the Red Planet and pass it by. As we pass by it, the planet moves backward in the sky. Then it moves forward again after we have passed.
Another piece of evidence for the sun-centered solar system comes from looking at parallax, or apparent change in the position of the stars with respect to each other. For a simple example of parallax, hold up your index finger in front of your face at arm's length. Look at it with your left eye only, closing your right eye. Then close your right eye, and look at the finger with your left. The finger's apparent position changes. That's because your left and right eyes are looking at the finger with slightly different angles.
The same thing happens on Earth when we look at stars. It takes about 365 days for us to orbit the sun. If we look at a close-up star in the summer, and look at it again in the winter, its apparent position in the sky changes because we are at different points in our orbit. We see the star from different vantage points. With a bit of simple calculation, using parallax we can also figure out the distance to that star.
Earth's spin is constant, but the speed depends on what latitude you are located at. Here's an example. The circumference (distance around the largest part of the Earth) is roughly 24,898 miles (40,070 kilometers),according to NASA. (This area is also called the equator.) If you estimate that a day is 24 hours long, you divide the circumference by the length of the day. This produces a speed at the equator of about 1,037 mph (1,670 km/h).
You won't be moving quite as fast at other latitudes, however. If we move halfway up the globe to 45 degrees in latitude (either north or south), you calculate the speed by using the cosine (a trigonometric function) of the latitude. A good scientific calculator should have a cosine function available if you don't know how to calculate it. The cosine of 45 is 0.707, so the spin speed at 45 degrees is roughly 0.707 x 1037 = 733 mph (1,180 km/h). That speed decreases more as you go farther north or south. By the time you get to the North or South Poles, your spin is very slow indeed — it takes an entire day to spin in place.
Space agencies love to take advantage of Earth's spin. If they're sending humans to the International Space Station, for example, the preferred location to do so is close to the equator. That's why space shuttle missions used to launch from Florida. By doing so and launching in the same direction as Earth's spin, rockets get a speed boost to help them fly into space.
How fast does Earth orbit the sun?
Earth's spin, of course, is not the only motion we have in space. Our orbital speed around the sun is about 67,000 mph (107,000 km/h),according to Cornell. You can calculate that with basic geometry.
First, we have to figure out how far Earth travels. Earth takes about 365 days to orbit the sun. The orbit is an ellipse, but to make the math simpler, let's say it's a circle. So, Earth's orbit is the circumference of a circle. The distance from Earth to the sun — called an astronomical unit— is 92,955,807 miles (149,597,870 kilometers), according to the International Astronomers Union. That is the radius (r). The circumference of a circle is equal to 2 x π x r. So in one year, Earth travels about 584 million miles (940 million km).
Since speed is equal to the distance traveled over the time taken, Earth's speed is calculated by dividing 584 million miles (940 million km) by 365.25 days and dividing that result by 24 hours to get miles per hour or km per hour. So, Earth travels about 1.6 million miles (2.6 million km) a day, or 66,627 mph (107,226 km/h).
Sun and galaxy move, too
To blow your mind even more: the sun has an orbit of its own in the Milky Way. The sun is about 25,000 light-years from the center of the galaxy, and the Milky Way is thought to be about 100,000 light-years across. We are thought to be about halfway out from the center, according to Stanford University. The sun and the solar system appear to be moving at 200 kilometers per second, or at an average speed of 515,000 mph (828,000 km/h). Even at this rapid speed, the solar system would take about 230 million years to travel all the way around the Milky Way.
The Milky Way, too, moves in space relative to other galaxies. In about 4 billion years, the Milky Way will collide with its nearest neighbor, theAndromeda Galaxy. The two are rushing toward each other at about 70 miles per second (112 km per second).
Everything in the universe is, therefore, in motion.
What would happen if Earth stopped spinning?
There is no chance that you'll be flung off to space right now, because the Earth's gravity is so strong compared to its spinning motion. (This latter motion is called centripetal acceleration.) At its strongest point, which is at the equator, centripetal acceleration only counteracts Earth's gravity by about 0.3 percent. In other words, you don't even notice it, although you will weigh slightly less at the equator than at the poles.
NASA says the probability for Earth stopping its spin is "practically zero" for the next few billion years, so you can feel safe in knowing you'll stay in place. Theoretically, however, if the Earth did stop moving suddenly, there would be an awful effect. The atmosphere would still be moving at the original speed of the Earth's rotation. This means that everything would be swept off of land, including people, buildings and even trees, topsoil and rocks, NASA added.
What if the process was more gradual? This is the more likely scenario over billions of years, NASA said, because the sun and the moon are tugging on Earth's spin. That would give plenty of time for humans, animals and plants to get used to the change. By the laws of physics, the slowest the Earth could slow its spin would be 1 rotation every 365 days. That situation is called "sun synchronous" and would force one side of our planet to always face the sun, and the other side to permanently face away. By comparison: Earth's moon is already in an Earth-synchronous rotation where one side of the moon always faces us, and the other side opposite to us.
But back to the no-spin scenario for a second: There would be some other weird effects if the Earth stopped spinning completely, NASA said. For one, the magnetic field would presumably disappear because it is thought to be generated in part by a spin. We'd lose our colorful auroras, and the Van Allen radiation belts surrounding Earth would probably disappear, too. Then Earth would be naked against the fury of the sun. Every time it sent a coronal mass ejection (charged particles) toward Earth, it would hit the surface and bathe everything in radiation. "This is a significant biohazard," NASA said.
Another weird effect: most spots on Earth would have daylight for half a year, and nighttime for the other half. During the day, the surface temperature would change depending on what latitude you're at. The equator would be even hotter than it is now, because the sun's light rays shine directly on it; the poles would not have as pronounced an effect because the rays are slanted. Because there are no more sunrises and sunsets, the sun would just move up and down in the sky during the year according to the Earth's orbit and tilt.
"This long-term temperature gradient would alter the atmospheric wind circulation pattern so that the air would move from the equator to the poles rather than in wind systems parallel to the equator like they are now," NASA added.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager ‘convinces her to release secret UFO files’ if elected
Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager ‘convinces her to release secret UFO files’ if elected
The Democratic front-runner has apparently been persuaded to agree to tell the world what the US Government knows about UFOs if she gets to the White House.
Hillary Clinton is fast becoming the Democratic Party’s front-runner for the US presidential election, but is seems her destiny may have been written in the stars.
Campaign chairman John Podesta says he has “convinced” her to tell the world about the UFO/ET phenomenon.
The long-term advocate of ending excessive secrecy seems to have struck a chord with his boss who has pledged to “get to the bottom of it” and “have a task force go to Area 51” – the military base where America test flies its top secret aircraft.
Podesta, who has been an advisor to US presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama since 1993, says the former First Lady has listened to his pleas for all government-held UFO files to be made readily available to the public.
Political position: Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager is a former White House Chief of Staff
During an interview with Steve Sebelius, co-host of KLAS-TV Politics Now, based in Las Vegas, he said: “I’ve talked to Hillary about that.
“I think I’ve convinced her that we need an effort to declassify as much as we can so people can have their legitimate questions answered.
“More attention and discussion about unexplained aerial phenomena can happen without people, who are in public life who are serious about this, being ridiculed.”
It is not the first time the former White House Chief of Staff has called for the US government to come clean on what it knows about aliens.
Last year he tweeted his biggest disappointment after leaving his job as President Obama’s advisor was “once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files.”
In 2010 he wrote the foreword to journalist Leslie Kean’s seminal work UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record, with the earth-shattering statement: “It’s time to find out what the truth really is that’s out there.
“The American people – and people around the world – want to know, and they can handle the truth.”
And he has also called for the release of government-held UFO files in 2002 and 2003 at the National Press Club in Washington DC.
Truth is out there: John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign manager, says the public can handle the truth
While her main political rivals have avoided the subject, such as Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, Clinton’s chief spin doctor has actively encouraged journalists to ask her questions on the ET issue.
Following an interview with Clinton by Girls actress Lena Dunham, Podesta tweeted his approval saying: “Great interview, #LenaDunham. But Lena, ask her about aliens next time!”
Clinton, who looks set to take on Republican favourite Trump in the November election, admitted to journalist Daymond Steer, of the Conway Daily Sun in December 2015, that she would “get to the bottom” of UFO/ET issue.
She said she would “have, like, a task force go to Area 51” – the first time a presidential candidate has used the UFO/ET issue as a vote winner.
While her husband Bill was president, between 1993 and 1996, he was approached by billionaire Laurance Rockefeller to release UFO files to the public as part of the ‘Rockefeller Initiative’.
Letter: Rockefeller invited the President’s science and technology advisor to have discussion about ET/UFO phenomena
Document: Another letter released under Freedom of Information request

Lobbyist Stephen Bassett, executive director of Paradigm Research Group, who is calling for a Congressional hearing on the UFO/ET issue, said: “When you combine Podesta’s statements to Sebelius with his Lena Dunham tweet, his ‘biggest regret’ tweet and Secretary Clinton’s statements to the Conway Daily Sun, it would appear Podesta is crying out to the television and cable networks: ‘Can you hear me now?’
Debates: Stephen Bassett wants TV network journalists to quiz Clinton on the Rockefeller Initiative
“Perhaps the network journalists moderating the campaign debates and town halls will finally ask Secretary Clinton about the Rockefeller Initiative.”

Radar operators say UFO travelled 120 miles in 8 SECONDS in Britain’s famed close encounter
Radar operators say UFO travelled 120 miles in 8 SECONDS in Britain’s famed close encounter
Two former radar operators have revealed how a UFO travelled 120 miles in less than EIGHT SECONDS during Britain’s most famous close encounter.
Ike Barker and Jim Carey have given their first in-depth interviews since the incident at RAF Bentwaters, in Suffolk – hailed as the world’s best documented case.
They were on duty in the air traffic control tower when the unidentified target was tracked on radar during a spate of bizarre sightings in late December 1980.
On December 26, a small team of security police officers reported seeing a triangular shaped craft land in Rendlesham Forest, just outside the base.
Ike Barker has given his first in-depth interview about the Rendlesham incident
And, two nights later, Deputy Base Commander Lt Col Charles Halt and several other USAF personnel observed strange flashing lights moving through the woods.
The military team watched in awe as the glowing object fired a laser beam of light on the ground near their feet before it flew away.
Meanwhile, reports came in over their radios that the UFO was firing beams into the weapons storage bunkers, which housed the biggest stockpile of nuclear missiles in Europe at that time.
Halt, who made a recording of the incident on a pocket tape recorder, later filed an official report to the UK Ministry of Defence – dubbed the ‘Halt Memo’ – giving details about the case, which was released under the US Freedom of Information Act.
Col Charles Halt reported UFO incident to the UK Ministry of Defence
However sceptics have debunked the sightings as satellites, meteors or the Orfordness lighthouse a few miles away.
But speaking in a new documentary called UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed, the retired USAF air traffic controllers say the craft they tracked was not man-made.
Jim Carey said the UFO moved at phenomenal speed
Ike Barker said: “It wasn’t like any radar target I’ve ever seen.
“It was travelling at an extremely high rate of speed. It passed over the control tower and then it stopped. I’ve never seen anything like the maneuverability that happened with this object.
“It was orange in colour and it popped into my mind that somebody was flying a basketball out here. There were lights around the centre but not like navigation lights.
Ike Barker described the UFO as looking like a ‘basketball’
“It was more like portholes, as if you were seeing the lights from the inside coming out. It hovered momentarily, reversed its course and went back out a high rate of speed.”
Carey, a tech sergeant with the 2164th Communications Squadron, said the unknown target made a sharp right angle turn at high speed before it left the area.
He said: “It was just phenomenal to see it go that fast. I said that can’t be one of ours. No jet can make an immediate right hand turn.”
The radar experts, who did not report the sighting to their superiors over fears it could ruin their careers, are among more than 150 military witnesses who have reported UFO activity at nuclear weapons laboratories, test areas, storage depots and missile sites since the 1940s.
The UFO is said to have shone a beam of light into the nuclear weapons bunker
Declassified US government and KGB documents from the former Soviet Union have also revealed how missile launch systems have mysteriously malfunctioned, causing panic among military chiefs during the Cold War.
American researcher Robert Hastings, who has produced the documentary and written a book on the ominous incidents, believes these incursions are a warning to humanity.
He said: “My opinion is that those who pilot UFOs are visitors from elsewhere who engage in provocative actions against American and Russian nuclear missile sites to send us a message that we humans are playing with fire – that to engage in nuclear warfare is essentially suicide.”
Robert Hastings has produced the documentary UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed
Retired UK police detective Gary Heseltine, who now edits the UFO Truth ezine, said: “The testimony of the two radar operators should once and for all put to bed the ludicrous sceptical theories that the military personal were confused by the Orfordness lighthouse.
“Their testimony clearly highlights that UFOs were interested in the base and that beams were shone down into the nuclear storage bunkers.
Gary Heseltine, editor of UFO Truth Magazine, says new testimony should silence the critics
“Every high school child, politician and university college student should be shown this documentary.”
The new evidence has come to light as Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta told CNN News that the American people “can handle the truth” about UFOs.
London (United Kingdom) – While in 2013 the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) claimed to have released all its formerly top secret files on UFOs. In 2015 it had to admit that a further tranche of 18 UFO related files had been withheld and was planed to be released in 2015. While this release progress is still pending the German news-blog on edge-science and the paranormal „Grenzwissenschaft-Aktuell.de“ (GreWi) now officially learned the files will not be released before Augst 2016.
After five years in which former secret files on UFOs were released bit by bit, in 2013 the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) declared that now all such files were released to the public via the National Archives. Then in 2014 an enquiry by a UFO researcher resulted in the unexpected admittance that 18 UFO related file-books are still being withheld by the MoD but were said to be released in 2015 a process that was then again delayed to early and then June 2016.
In reply to an enquiry by GreWi-editor Andreas Muller, a spokesperson of the National Archives‘ Information Management Department now replied:
„I have been advised by our Transfer team that they are currently in the process of finalising the listing for the records DEFE 24/2419-3156, which include the UFO files, and they are hopeful that the records will be transferred from the Ministry of Defence to The National Archives within the next month. Some of the files need to have their closure/access status agreed by the Advisory Council on Public Records, which meets in July, so the Transfer team are looking at probably August before the records will be released to the public.“
Part of the yet to be released UFO-documents are filed under the title „UFO-Policy“ and date from 1971-76 and 1996-2000. Three other files cover June-December 2000, December–March 2004 and March 2004. Furthermore the MoD also confirmed that some files cover topics like „Air Traffic Controll Low Flying UFOs“ as well as so-called „ADGE UFO Reports“, which experts assume that they are UFO related documents from the radar unity „Air Defence Ground Environment“.

VIDEO: “Piramidestad op bodem Chinees meer is bewijs voor buitenaards bezoek”
VIDEO: “Piramidestad op bodem Chinees meer is bewijs voor buitenaards bezoek”
Volgens sommige theoretici is het meest overtuigende bewijs voor buitenaards bezoek te vinden in China, het land van de vier grote uitvindingen: papier, boekdrukkunst, buskruit en het kompas. Dat bericht tv-zender History.
Nieuw bewijs dat is gevonden in het land van de Grote Muur en de Great Firewall suggereert dat zich in een ver verleden aliens onder ons bevonden en dat ze ook nu nog onder ons zijn.
Maya’s
In een meer in de Chinese zuidelijke provincie Yunnan hebben onderzoekers enkele jaren geleden drie bouwwerken gevonden die sterk lijken op de piramides die de Maya’s in Amerika bouwden, zo meldde de Chinese radio.
De archeologen troffen ze aan op de bodem van het Fuxian-meer, het op één na diepste meer van China. Het complex van bouwwerken beslaat in totaal 2,4 vierkante kilometer en telt acht prominente bouwwerken, waarvan er drie sterk op piramides lijken die in Midden- en Zuid-Amerika voorkomen.
Nog veel meer
De onderzoekers denken dat de overblijfselen 2000 jaar oud zijn. Ze denken nog veel meer in het meer aan te treffen, want alles wijst erop dat er een ruïne van een hele stad onder het wateroppervlak ligt. Volgens sommige theoretici was de verzonken stad vroeger een buitenaardse basis.
“Gezegd wordt dat de piramides net zo oud zijn als de Egyptische piramides en misschien nog wel hoger,” zegt schrijver Paul Stonehill. “Dit is een ongelooflijke ontdekking.”

Miami Airport workers' disbelief as 'UFO' trailing blue UFO over the runway, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: July 2016 Location of sighting: Miami, Florida, USA News source:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3704560/Incoming-Airport-workers-disbelief-UFO-trailing-blue-smoke-flies-runway.html These long blue UFOs have been seen over major cities around the world, from Los Angeles To Kazakstan. There are at least 12 different videos from different cities around the globe with these strange craft. In most cases the larger blue craft seems to cloak and disappear and only a tiny small craft from its nose remains. Also this smaller craft, perhaps an escape pod always goes slower than the larger blue craft. About 30% its speed. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Mail online states: Airport workers were left scratching their heads after spotting what looked like a giant UFO in the sky. The incredible footage, believed to have been filmed at Miami Airport, led to those on the tarmac whipping out their camera phones to snap the strange phenomenon. 'Check that out, woah, it's going to hit the plane,' shouts one man, as the strange blue shape moves through the sky. User RamJ described how it was 'the invasion from space', while another unnamed user says it is 'possible comet fragment with a high content of water and frozen gasses'. Many of those commenting on the clip believe it is something entirely normal. One user says it is a 'Florida rocket launch', and another agrees, saying the 'plume is from a hydrogen powered rocket engine, water vapor condenses in the high altitude forming a cloud of ice crystals reflecting light from the sun which, from this viewpoint, is below the horizon.' Although it is not known when this footage was shot, on June 24 the Atlas V rocket was fired off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The rocket was fired into orbit loaded with a Navy satellite.

UFO Orbs Caught on Video - Open Minds UFO Report, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of video: July 2016 Maker of video:Open Minds Here is a very informative video from Open Minds site that tells us about many of the UFO sighting reports from July 2016 that we may have missed. I have to admit, a few surprised me. I like Open Minds a lot. They are very careful to only post investigated reports with evidence of their occurrence to back them up. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Did you notice he shows a photo of a shiny dome on the moon at 24:40 into the video? I found it in an Apollo mission photo 6 years ago (click here). Very cool. I wonder how many NASA employees have seen the photo of object we have found on this site? Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Project Camelot States: Dr. R. Ken Johnston, Sr. one of 4 Civilian Astronaut Consultant Pilots from the Apollo Moon Program, is a retired aerospace engineer, US Marine, and “NASA Whistleblower.” He refused to strictly follow orders and destroy a nearly-complete collection of 8″ x 10″ glossy photo-prints from the Apollo program, photos that are not available from NASA at this time and are of a higher resolution than what is found online. Johnston was born at Fort Sam Houston US Army Air Base in San Antonio, TX. 1942, and studied at Oklahoma City University. He enlisted in the US Marines in August, 1962 and reported to Pensacola as a Marine Officer Cadet for flight training in September 1964. He left active duty from the Marines in August 1966. Johnston was hired by Grumman Aircraft Corp. because of his training as a pilot with an avionics background to become a principal contractor for the Apollo Lunar Module testing. His duty was to assist with cockpit and instrument development and Astronaut training at the Manned Space Center (to be renamed JSC) in Houston, Texas, as a “civilian astronaut consultant pilot." Ken Johnston worked as a contractor from 1966 to 1972, during the Apollo Program, and he was employed by Brown & Root Northroup, principal contractors to NASA for management of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory, where all the moon rocks were stored, curated, cataloged and in some cases, distributed to scientists who had successfully applied to carry out analysis in their own labs. An important part of Johnston‘s duty was to provide photographic and peliminary analysis of the lunar samples to the contributing scientists from around the world. The photographic documentation was to document the lunar samples exact location and orientation in situ. In addition to the photos he provided copies of the lunar sample information catalogs to the scientists. As such, he had in his office several sets of photographs taken by Apollo astronauts with their chest-mounted Hasselblad cameras. When the lunar sample distribution wound down, he was instructed by Bud Laskawa, his boss, to destroy what remained of the photo archive, but Johnston kept one set as a personal collection for a work portfolio. Johnston applied to NASA for the 1977 astronaut selection for duty as a Space Shuttle astronaut, but was turned down because NASA wanted the astronauts to be PhD level scientists. The ideal astronaut was no longer a “jet-jock”, but men with scientific accreditation. When NASA was recruiting again, Johnston re-applied, but was considered too old. He did, however, join NASA’s educational outreach program as a “Solar System Ambassador” traveling and speaking to civic and youth groups about space exploration and careers in engineering and science.

Tom Delonge Says He Is Very Close To Completing His UFO Documentary, July 2016, UFO Sighting News
Date of Instagram: July 24, 2016 Tom Delonge of Blink-182 had been in the news a lot for his interest in UFOs and alien phenomenon. Today he made a post on Instagram about a UFO documentary that he is personally making. I can't wait to see it. It sound fantastic. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Tom Delonge stated: We are getting very close to showing you all a piece of the documentary. Been working on this for a long time. This week I flew across the country and spent 12 hours with two scientists from CIA, and a very high-level person from the Defense Department. Our Country has been doing incredible things in relation to this topic. Every decision they made, as hard as it is to comprehend now, really was in our best interest. At first, your instinct is to be angry because you feel like you were lied to, left out of something important... But once you know the facts, you'll be proud of what our country did. Very proud. #SekretMachines
Ancient Aliens – Decoding The Cosmic Egg History Channel, Season 11, Episode 6 17th June 2016
Scientists theorize that when mankind encounters extraterrestrials, we’ll need to speak to them through the universal language of mathematics and binary code. But is it possible that extraterrestrials have already been communicating with our greatest mathematicians and engineers? Might they have somehow aided them in bringing about the space age and computers? Ancient Astronaut theorists say yes. As evidence, they point to the true father of the space program, Nikolai Fyodorov, a “Cosmist” who believed that human civilization had its origins in outer space and that it was our destiny to return to the cosmos. Wernher von Braun was greatly influenced by Fyodorov and he was motivated by a similar, secret belief when he ran the mission that put the first man on the moon. Is it possible that humanity’s greatest visionaries have been carrying out an extraterrestrial master plan?
Video compilation by Top5s Youtube channel. A UFO is an object that is spotted in the sky that cannot be identified. Over the years, millions of sightings have been reported and caught on video cameras. Now although most can be ruled out as fakes or Military Testing. Every know and then a video will appear that really does confuse everyone. Although those videos do not prove the existence of alien life, it definitely strengthens most peoples thought that alien do exist and have visited planet earth. Well, here are 5 thought to be Unidentified Flying Objects caught on video that are are sure to get you thinking.
How Big Bang Shaped Civilization: 'Deep Time' Documentary Premieres
How Big Bang Shaped Civilization: 'Deep Time' Documentary Premieres
By Samantha Mathewson, Staff Writer
A new documentary series premiering today (July 22) explores the deep history of humankind, revealing unexpected links among astronomy, ancient geological events and the birth of human civilizations.
Origin Of Universe - What Was The Big Bang (Stephen Hawking Documentary)
Narrated by deep-time historian Jonathan Markley, the new series — "Deep Time History" — explores how key events such as the formation of the universe, exploding stars, clashing continents and evolution shaped the world as it is today. The three episodes are now available on CuriosityStream, a streaming service that hosts nonfiction documentaries and series about science, technology, history and nature.
"It [offers] a surprising new take on world history," Steve Burns, chief programming director at CuriosityStream and executive producer of "Deep Time History," told Space.com. "It doesn't just focus on history lessons we get in the classroom, but rather it combines science — from the Big Bang to the formation of the solar system — and shows how events deep in geologic time have influenced world history in surprising ways."
The three episodes discuss key historical events such as Mesopotamia's role as a center for the rise of civilization; the Age of Discovery, in which Christopher Columbus' voyage paved the way for innovation; and the Industrial Revolution in modern warfare, and how those events were influenced by physics, geology, biology and chemistry.
The three-part documentary series' inspiration comes from the return-to-science vision of John Hendricks, founder of the Discovery Channel and CuriosityStream, Burns said.
"In a television landscape where there is very little science or history, we try to do things that are innovative and surprising, and I think this series delivers," Burns added.
This controversial footage is causing a stir among UFO fans and conspiracy theorists as records a bizarre conversation between a "nervous" astronaut and mission control.
The outer-space experts claim that during a live feed from the International Space Station the astronaut mentions the word "gospel" as a strange red-coloured UFO appears on the screen.
The footage has been uploaded to two well known UFO websites - by blogger Scott C Waring's UFO Sightings Daily and to Secure Team 10 - and have caused a huge stir among their audiences.

According to Mr Waring, the appearance of the UFO on the ISS live video feed as the astronaut mentions the gospel" was significant and could not be a coincidence."
Talking his viewers through the footage he drew the attention of viewers to the moment in the recording that the astronaut said the word “gospel,” and the moment that ground control replied to the astronaut, saying, “we will pray for you."
Secure Team 10's Tyler Glockne r also noted how odd it was for the astronaut to be talking about religion ans said the conversation was "very unusual".
Secureteam10
Is this a UFO?
He said: "You can hear the astronaut speaking about God as a UFO appears, which is strange.
“Although it is not strange to think there may be astronauts who may be religious, but I think it would be uncommon due to the training and scientific knowledge they have.”
But his fans asked whether the reference to "gospel" was actually code for "aliens".
Conspiracy theorists have suggested that the astronaut’s statement that he was looking “forward to this partnership with the gospel,” could be coded language and he was actually telling ground control he was about to meet a delegation of extraterrestrials and hold "talks" with them.

De drone van Facebook die ontworpen is om internet naar afgelegen plaatsen te brengen, heeft zijn eerste proefvlucht met succes afgelegd. Dat maakte Facebook donderdag bekend.
Het prototype van de Aquila-drone landde op 28 juni veilig na een vlucht van 96 minuten over de Amerikaanse staat Arizona. Volgens het sociale netwerk gaat het om een "grote mijlpaal" in haar plan om de wereld van internet te voorzien.
Verbruikt evenveel als een microwave
"Het vliegtuig heeft de spanwijdte van een lijnvliegtuig, maar aan topsnelheid zal het amper 5000 watt verbruiken, dezelfde hoeveelheid als drie haardrogers, of een microgolfoven van hoge kwaliteit."
Jay Parikh, hoofd Techniek en Infrastructuur bij Facebook
Aquila is een onbemand vliegtuig dat wordt aangedreven op zonne-energie. Het toestel moet in in cirkels van 100 kilometer doorsnede over afgelegen gebieden kunnen cirkelen en zo de bewoners ervan van draadloos internet voorzien. De drone vliegt daarvoor op een hoogte van 60.000 voet (18 kilometer) en maakt gebruik van lasers en millimetergolven.
De technologie die de drone aandrijft werd ontworpen door Ascenta, een bedrijf in het Britse Somerset dat in 2014 door Facebook werd gekocht voor ongeveer 15 miljoen euro.
Ambitieus project
"Aquila is ontworpen om hyperefficiënt te zijn, dus ze kan tot drie maanden aan een stuk vliegen," vertelt Jay Parikh, het hoofd van de afdeling Techniek en Infrastructuur bij Facebook. "Het vliegtuig heeft de spanwijdte van een lijnvliegtuig, maar aan topsnelheid zal het amper 5000 watt verbruiken, dezelfde hoeveelheid als drie haardrogers, of een microgolfoven van hoge kwaliteit."
Het is een ambitious project waarvoor "een belangrijke vooruitgang in wetenschap en techniek" nodig is, aldus Parikh. Het huidige record voor een onbemande vlucht op zonne-energie staat op slechts twee weken. Het is de eerste keer dat de Aquila een proefvlucht aflegt. Tot nu toe had het bedrijf enkele testvluchten uitgevoerd met een versie die slechts een vijfde zo groot was als de Aquila.
Facebook "heeft nog veel werk voor de boeg" en het zal volgens het bedrijf nog jaren duren voor de drone gelanceerd wordt. "Om de volledige capaciteit van het design te bewijzen, zullen we de Aquila tot haar limieten drijven in een lange reeks testen over de komende maanden en jaren," vertelt Parikh. "Mislukkingen worden verwacht en soms zelfs gepland. We leren meer wanneer we het vliegtuig tot op het randje drijven."
In volgende proefvluchten zullen ingenieurs de Aquila sneller en hoger laten vliegen, op hoogtes boven 60.000 voet. Het vliegtuig, met zijn kader van koolstofvezel, heeft de spanwijdte van een Boeing 737, maar weegt amper 400 kilogram. Het toestel werd vernoemd naar de adelaar die in de Griekse mythologie de bliksemschicht van Jupiter droeg.
De ingenieurs van de Aquila staan voor vier grote uitdagingen: genoeg zonne-energie verzamelen om het toestel aan te drijven, batterijen ontwerpen die veel energie kunnen opslaan en toch licht genoeg zijn en zorgen dat het toestel op economisch vlak een waardig alternatief is voor de traditionele internetinfrastructuur.
Facebook geeft al aan dat het wil samenwerken met overheden en telecomoperatoren om het project te doen slagen. De socialenetwerksite wil instaan voor gratis internetverbinding, terwijl lokale bedrijven verantwoordelijk zullen zijn voor bijkomende diensten.

Mysterieuze sterfgevallen: “UFO-onderzoekers omgebracht door mannen in zwart”
Mysterieuze sterfgevallen: “UFO-onderzoekers omgebracht door mannen in zwart”
In korte tijd zijn twee UFO-onderzoekers dood gevonden onder ‘mysterieuze omstandigheden’. Gevreesd wordt dat ze zijn omgebracht door geheime agenten van de overheid om te voorkomen dat de waarheid naar buiten komt.
Max Spiers, een paranormale onderzoeker, werd vorige maand dood aangetroffen in Polen. Hij claimde dat hij ooit onderdeel was van een geheim overheidsproject. Sommigen zijn ervan overtuigd dat hij vermoord is.
Gaurav Tiwari
Deze maand bleek dat UFO-onderzoeker Gaurav Tiwari uit India dood was gevonden. Volgens de autoriteiten heeft hij zelfmoord gepleegd. Familieleden van Tiwari, die de directeur en oprichter was van de Indian Paranormal Society, zeggen echter dat hij pas was getrouwd en geen reden had om uit het leven te stappen.
137 UFO-onderzoekers
Complottheoretici stellen dat UFO-jagers die te dicht bij de waarheid komen, worden opgejaagd door de geheime diensten of zogeheten mannen in het zwart. Door de jaren heen zouden ‘tientallen’ andere UFO-onderzoekers onder mysterieuze omstandigheden zijn overleden.
Nigel Watson, schrijver van de UFO Investigations Manual, zei: “Al in 1971 claimde onderzoeker Otto Binder dat tenminste 137 UFO-onderzoekers sinds de jaren zestig onder mysterieuze omstandigheden waren gestorven.”
Max Spiers (Facebook)
“Hier kunnen overheidsagentschappen achter zitten, maar het lijkt me nogal extreem om mensen te vermoorden, aangezien er gemakkelijkere manieren zijn om UFO-onderzoekers in diskrediet te brengen,” vervolgde hij.
Kennedy
“Een andere theorie is dat de mysterieuze mannen in het zwart of de aliens erachter zitten, om iedereen die te dicht bij de waarheid komt over hun operaties uit de weg te ruimen,” zei hij.
Watson wijst erop dat wordt beweerd dat de CIA president Kennedy heeft vermoord omdat hij UFO-geheimen wilde delen met de Sovjet-Unie. Marilyn Monroe zou daarnaast zijn gedood omdat ze te openlijk over UFO’s sprak.
Philip Schneider
“Op de avond voor haar dood sprak ze met tv-persoonlijkheid Dorothy Kilgallen over de Roswell-crash in 1947,” aldus Watson. “Kilgallen stierf op 8 november 1965 onder mysterieuze omstandigheden.”
Hij geeft aan dat het puur toeval zou kunnen zijn, maar dat er ook zeker een aantal vreemde incidenten zijn geweest. “UFO-onderzoeker Philip Schneider vreesde bijvoorbeeld voor zijn leven; hij werd gevolgd door ‘busjes van de overheid’ en ook werd hij een aantal keren van de weg gereden,” zei Watson. “In januari 1996 trof een vriend hem dood aan in zijn appartement. Later bleek dat hij was gewurgd, hoewel de officiële lezing zelfmoord luidde.”
Aliens in Antartica...not so far fetched actually. Antarticas climate has changed a lot every 10.000 years, so yes its easy for an alien culture to live there and not freeze to death. Sure, its unusual that elongated skulls were found, especially since there have been many such discoveries in Peru, thousands of miles across the ocean. Overall, a great discovery. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: Smithsonian archaeologist Damian Waters and his team have uncovered three elongated skulls in the region of La Paille, Antarctica. The discovery came as a total surprise to the world of archaeology as they are the first human remains uncovered from Antarctica, thought never to have been visited by humans until the modern age. We just can’t believe it! We didn’t just find human remains on Antarctica, we found elongated skulls! I have to pinch myself every time I wake up, I just can’t believe it! This will redefine our view of mankind’s history as a whole!” excitedly explains M. Waters. Elongated skulls have been found in Peru and in Egypt, proving past civilizations made contact long before history books want to acknowledge. But this discovery is plain incredible. It shows there was contact thousand of years ago between civilizations in Africa, South America and Antarctica. Elongated skulls are thought to have been a common deformation done upon children of the elite in many ancient cultures tells us a spokesman of the Smithsonian Institute of New York. It was done by wrapping a cloth around the infant’s head when the skull is not yet in a solid state. This characteristic was used to amplify differences of traits between higher ranking classes of society and lower classes . These elongated skulls are much, much larger than normal human skulls would be. Purposeful cranial deformation can change the shape of a skull, but it cannot increase the volume of the skull. In addition, these skulls have quite a few other important physical characteristics that greatly set them apart from normal human skulls. This knowledge is incredibly important, regardless of what these skulls end up being, human or otherwise, it is still important for unraveling the history of our past. These are obviously an incredibly mysterious group of people.
Tall Whites ETs Have UFO Escorts For Incoming Ship To Tall Whites Base Inside Old Firing Range At Nellis AFB.
Tall Whites ETs Have UFO Escorts For Incoming Ship To Tall Whites Base Inside Old Firing Range At Nellis AFB.
Date of sighting: July 21, 2016 Location of sighting: Nellis AFB, Nevada Charles Hall worked at the Tall Whites base in Nellis AFB, its located at the end of the old firing range...the location of these UFOs seen in the video below. What we are seeing, is several Tall White UFOs going out to meet and safely escort in, an important Tall Whites ship entering the base. Much like a military escort of sorts, since the Tall Whites will always be a bit concerned about the safety of their children when near humans...and US military has the armaments to cause them a significant threat. Oh...message to Tall Whites, come to Taiwan, I want to meet you guys. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Steven Barone states: I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of July 20, 2016. Red Flag is the U.S. Air Force's premier air-to-air combat training exercise and is happening from July 11 through July 29, 2016, this year so I have eight more days where unusual things like this can happen. Participants often include both the United States and allied nations' combat air forces. The exercise provides aircrews the experience of multiple, intensive air combat sorties in the safety of a training environment. Of course, this can happen whether Red Flag Exercises are happening or not. This most likely happened out on the Nellis Test Range. Very strange indeed!
Presented in this movie is a new novel perspective on the UFO ET paradim. Has technologies back-engineered from the Roswell UFO crash debris served as a covert trogen horse for an Artificial Intelligence take-over of Earth Humanity? We can not assume that all extraterrestrial invaders must be biological organisms. We are now in the midst of a new technological revolution promising to engineer the human species into immortals. But is this wondrous program of biological modification actually the end game of a diabolically subtle extraterrestrial take-over of planet Earth? Is the human race being assimilated by a “Cyborg Invasion”?
Ancient Aliens – The New Evidence History Channel, Season 11, Episode 4 27th May 2016
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true? This is the question Ancient Astronaut theorists have posed since Erich von Daniken’s Chariots of the Gods was first published in 1968; examining scientific, archaeological, astronomical, and historical evidence to find the answer. In recent years, more new evidence has been revealed than ever before that suggests there was extraterrestrial intervention on Earth in the distant past. Satellite images have exposed geoglyphs resembling Nazca lines in Kazakhstan. Ground penetrating radar has detected remnants of ancient technology in Machu Picchu. And thermal scanning has uncovered hidden chambers behind King Tut’s tomb that may hold the remains of extraterrestrial beings. Could we be at the tipping point where the overwhelming evidence outweighs any last shred of doubt?
AMAZING strange object hovering above Concord, California 15-Jul-2016
AMAZING strange object hovering above Concord, California 15-Jul-2016
New footage of a bright unidentified flying object hovering in the daytime sky above Concord in California. This happened on 15th July 2016.
Witness report:White dot moving through high clouds sometime after 6pm. Noticed still there 7:30. Got cell phone to video. Filmed 4 times. 7:29, 8:03, 8:40, 8:49pm. Moved about 10°, northbound in aprox 3hrs then was gone. On July 15th around 6pm I took my kids to the neighborhood pool to swim. Sometime around 7:15 I happened to notice a small white ball approaching slowly Andy Northwest Direction. I didn’t pay it much mind as it looked kind of like a balloon. However after a few minutes of playing in the pool with my kids I happened to notice that it was still in the same general area now moving through the clouds so I kept my eye on it for a moment and realized it looked unusual. I decided to get out of the pool and try and take a picture with my cell phone that I had in my backpack. I dried my face and hands and got my phone out of my backpack and tried to take a couple pictures. The sun was so bright that I couldn’t tell if the pictures were coming out very well so I decided to videotape it with my cell phone. But again the sun on my screen made it difficult to see if I was capturing it or not since it was a white dot in the sky I filmed where I thought it was but couldn’t tell if it was in Focus or not so I decided to go home and try with my video camera. I got my video camera but the battery was nearly dead and only filmed for a few seconds. I didn’t want to waste time trying to charge it so I decided to film with my cell phone again. The clouds that it was hovering around had moved on but it was still in the same place, my estimation is about 20-40 thousand feet high. For a moment I thought maybe it was a supernova or some event in space that was shining through the atmosphere since it was still daytime and very bright. I had to film it intermittently since I was feeding my kids dinner and trying to get them ready for bed. The first time I filmed it from home was at 8:03 p.m. and it was bigger and brighter as if it had descended a few thousand feet. The second time I filmed it was at 8:4pm and I noticed it had moved slightly to the north. I filmed it again at 8:49 and the sun had se. I noticed it had moved even farther north about 90 degrees off the horizon now and almost directory above me. When I first saw it it was around 45 to 50 degrees off the horizon around 7:30 p.m. It was moving very slowly to the North while all of the stars and Moon where moving West as they should. I came outside again at 9pm to film it and it was gone. Around 8pm I called my brother and told him where to look in the sky to see it so I could get his opinion. He used his binoculars to view it and was silent for about a minute. Which gave me goosebumps. He then said, “wow, that IS interesting”. He then described it as “perfectly round and glassy looking”. He said “I can see the side that’s facing the Sun is reflecting the light and the other side looks like glass… it looks like a Christmas bulb”. Even through the binaculars he had no idea what it could be. He also told me that just about an hour earlier he was hiking on Mt. Diablo and saw something white and bright near the clouds by the top of the mountain and thought it might have been a super bright radio tower light but when he went further and looked for the source there was nothing there and no tower. He wondered if thus was the same thing that he saw. This could be possible since when I first saw the object it was coming from the direction of Mt. Diablo right about the time after he had finished his hike. NOTE: in the video I say I saw it starting around 6pm, that is a mistake. I was thinking we had gone to the pool sometime after 6pm and didn’t realize how long we were there before I first filmed it on y phone. I realized that I was saying the wrong time when I noticed the timestamp on my phone video. The duration was approximately from 7:15 p.m. to about 8:50 p.m.
A tiny robot made of sea slug muscles and 3D-printed parts sits in a lab dish

We usually think of cyborgs as part human, part machine, but roboticists don't limit themselves that way. Researchers have developed a hybrid robot built with body parts from a novel source: sea slugs.
The new robot combines a Y-shaped muscle from the mouth of a California sea hare (Aplysia californica) with a 3D-printed skeleton.
Researchers surgically removed the so-called "I2" muscle from the mouths of sea slugs and glued them to flexible, 3D-printed plastic frames. When the muscles were subjected to an external electric field, the resulting contractions produced a deliberate clawing motion that was able to move the tiny robot up to 0.2 inches (0.5 centimeters) per minute. [The 6 Strangest Robots Ever Created]
The robot was modeled after the way sea turtles crawl, because the researchers wanted to create something that could move with only one Y-shaped muscle, study lead author Victoria Webster, a graduate student at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, told Live Science in an email. But, it should be possible to apply similar techniques to create more complex robots with different movement styles, such as the inchworm-inspired version that the team is working on now, she added.
With a few more developments, the scientists said, teams of robots could be deployed for tasks such as searching for toxic underwater leaks or finding an airplane's "black box" flight data recorder after it has crashed into the ocean.
And one day, the designers would also like to make entirely biological robots by replacing the plastic parts of the new hybrid bot with organic material.
"We're building a living machine — a biohybrid robot that's not completely organic — yet," Webster said in a statement.
Sea slugs live in a wide range of temperatures and conditions, so theirmuscles can function in myriad environments. This natural versatility is key to developing biological machines that are capable of operating in different environments.
"By using the sea hare as our material source, we have obtained materials which are more robust than the cells which have been used in the past," Webster said.
The team is now experimenting with including the ganglia, or nervous tissue, that controls the I2 muscle. "They respond to direct chemical stimulation or to stimulation of the sensory system nerves," Webster said. "By stimulating the nerves, we may be able to steer the robot in the future."
The scientists also developed a method to mold collagen gel from the sea slugs' skin into "scaffolding" for completely organic machines. These nonhybrid robots would be inexpensive, nonpolluting and biodegradable, the scientists said, enabling them to release many robots without having to worry if some of them are lost.
"Our hope is to continue developing these devices to include organic controllers, sensors and skeletons," Webster said.

Atomair geheugen TU Delft kan petabyte in zandkorrel opslaan
Atomair geheugen TU Delft kan petabyte in zandkorrel opslaan
Een miljoen gigabyte in een geheugen zo groot als een zandkorrel. Een revolutionaire uitvinding van de TU Delft en IBM maakt het mogelijk. Vandaag is hun onderzoek gepubliceerd in Nature Nanotechnology.
STM-scan (96 bij 126 nm) van het 1 kB-geheugen, beschreven met een deel van Feynmans lezing There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom. Beeld: TU Delft/Ottelab. Klik op het plaatje voor een grotere versie!
Onderzoekers van de TU Delft hebben samen met IT-moloch IBM een nieuw dataopslagsysteem ontwikkeld dat losse atomen als computerbits gebruikt. Het systeem kan in theorie een petabyte – oftewel een miljoen gigabyte – aan gegevens opslaan in een kubus met een doorsnede van slechts 0,1 millimeter.
Wetenschappers proberen al jaren losse atomen in dataopslag in te zetten als bits: de enen en nullen die de basiseenheden van computerinformatie vormen. Acht bits vormen samen één byte, terwijl een byte op zijn beurt één letter of cijfer vertegenwoordigt. De huidige harde schijven gebruiken miljarden atomen voor enkele tientallen bits.
Onder leiding van Sander Otte hebben de Delftse onderzoekers nu voor het eerst een systeem ontwikkeld met een groot aantal enkelatomige bits. Hun geheugen bevat 8128 bits (1 kilobyte) en is slechts 96 bij 126 nanometer groot – ongeveer een duizendste van de dikte van een haar.
Toren van cd-roms
Het geheugen bestaat uit chlooratomen op een koperen oppervlak met putjes. Een zogeheten scanning-tunnelingmicroscoop (STM) plaatst de losse atomen in de putjes of haalt ze eruit. In elke put komt de aan- of afwezigheid van een atoom overeen met een 1 of een 0.
Een kilobyte aan gegevens is niet bijster veel – niet meer dan een handvol tweets. Volgens het team is er echter geen natuurkundige belemmering voor het bouwen van veel grotere atomaire geheugens. In theorie zou het geheugen dan een twee kilometer hoge toren van cd-romschijven (zonder doosje) kunnen reduceren tot een kubus van 0,1 millimeter in doorsnee.
Feynman en Darwin

Om het geheugen te testen, maakten de onderzoekers een nieuwe versie van de 8-bit-ASCII-codes die losse karakters in tekstbestanden aanduiden. Met de nieuwe ASCII-codes plaatsten ze een deel van een lezing van Richard Feynman uit 1959 in het geheugen. In deze lezing speculeert de beroemde natuurkundige dat we op een dag in staat zullen zijn losse atomen te verplaatsen.
De onderzoekers toonden tevens aan dat het geheugen herschreven kan worden. Dat deden ze door Feynmans tekst te overschrijven met een deel van Darwins On the Origin of Species.
Gevoelig geheugen
Het systeem heeft nog wel enkele praktische tekortkomingen. Het werkt alleen bij een temperatuur van -196 °C. Bij een hogere temperatuur gaan de atomen samenklonteren. Daarnaast is het geheugen bijzonder langzaam. Het uitlezen van een blokje van 8 bytes duurt ongeveer een minuut, en overschrijving daarvan twee minuten. Bovendien kunnen kleine verstoringen de atomen of de gevoelige STM-punt aantasten, waardoor bits onleesbaar worden. Dat leidde bij de test tot enkele ontbrekende letters en woorden.
Zelfs met deze beperkingen is het werk een grote stap voorwaarts, stelt Franz Himpsel van de University of Wisconsin-Madison in de VS. De compactste geheugens die momenteel in omloop zijn, hebben plaats voor 6 tot 12 terabits per vierkante centimeter. Een atomair geheugen kan meer dan 3000 terabits per vierkante centimeter bevatten.
Volgens Himpsel is opschaling naar een geheugencapaciteit van een gigabyte geen sinecure, maar wel mogelijk. ‘Het is net als met siliciumtechnologie: als je eenmaal weet hoe het moet, kun je opschalen, opschalen en nog eens opschalen.’
A waxing moon seen from the International Space Station on Nov. 12, 2013. ISS crewmembers would likely miss this stunning view if our only satellite were to vanish overnight.

Ah, yes, the moon. To it, over it, shooting for it. Blue, green. Pies, faces, shines, lighting. And I haven't even gotten to all the Luna-based concepts. Earth's moon plays a significant role in our culture, language and thoughts.
But does it … you know … matter? If it disappeared in the blink of an eye tomorrow (and for discussion's sake let's assume it does so nonviolently), would we even notice? Would we even care?
Well, it depends ….
Do you like tides?
Gravity — at least the Newtonian kind — is pretty straightforward: The closer you are to something, the stronger its pull of gravity. So stuff that's closer to the moon gets a stronger gravitational tug, and stuff that's farther away gets a weaker one. Easy-peasey. When looking at the effects of the moon on the Earth, you can essentially boil it down to three parts: The Earth itself, the ocean-close-to-the-moon and the ocean-far-from-the-moon. [50 Interesting Facts About the Earth]
On any given day, the ocean closest to the moon gets a bonus gravitational pull, so it rises up slightly, reaching out in watery embrace to what it can never reach. And since the ocean is so big, all the water from one horizon pushes up against water from the other, resulting in a fantastic tidal bulge.
OK, tide on one side of our planet, done. But what about the other? The solid rocky bits of the Earth are closer to the moon than the ocean on the far side, so the Earth too gets a little more snuggly with the moon, leaving the far-side ocean behind. Result? Tides on the far side. From the perspective of someone standing on Earth, it looks like that ocean is rising up, but really it just doesn't get to join the party. And there you have it: two tides on opposite sides of the Earth. [Earth from Above: 101 Stunning Images from Orbit]
If the moon disappeared, we wouldn't be totally out of tidal luck; the sun also stretches and squeezes the Earth, so our surfing opportunities wouldn't be completely eliminated.
Do you like 24 hours in a day?
The Earth used to spin on its axis faster than it does today. As in, wayfaster. After the hypothetical giant impact that led to the formation of the moon (which is the topic for a completely different article, sorry, but at least you can watch me explain it in this video), the Earth's day was as short as 6 hours. How did it get to a leisurely 24?
That's right, it was the moon! The moon makes some pretty nice tides, but the Earth is also spinning on its axis. That spinning physically drags the tidal bulges around the planet. So instead of the tides appearing directly beneath the moon, they're slightly ahead of it, orbitally speaking.
So you've got a big lump of extra ocean water in a place where it's not supposed to be. Since gravity is a two-way street, that lump pulls on the moon. Like tugging a reluctant dog on a leash, that tidal bulge yanks on the moon bit by bit, accelerating it into ever-higher orbits.
By the way, the moon is slowly getting farther away from Earth. And that energy to accelerate the moon has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is the Earth itself: Day by day, millennium by millennium, the Earth slows down, converting its rotational energy into the moon's orbital energy.
If you took away the moon, itꞌs not like this process would reverse, but it wouldn't keep going. That might or might not be a good thing, depending on how much you like the length of your workday.
Do you like seasons?
The Earth's axis is tilted, and that tilt can change with time. No biggie, all the planets do it; it's fun. But what'snot fun is when the tilt changes rapidly. What would happen if Antarctica pointed straight at the sun for 24 hours a day, plunging North America and Europe into permanent darkness? And then a few hundred thousand years later it flipped over? We take the long-term regularity of our seasons for granted, and we might have the moon to thank for it.
Those kinds of crazy wild swings in the axial tilt are due to resonances, or unlucky interactions with distant objects in the solar system. For instance, letꞌs say that one day in its orbit the Earth's axis just happens to point away from the sun, and Jupiter is hanging out in that direction at the same time. And let's say that happens again … and again … and again. Every time Earth's axis and Jupiter line up, it gets a super-tiny gravitational pull. At first it's nothing. But over millions of years it can add up. Before you know it, the accumulation of tugs has flipped the Earth over like a pancake.
What might stabilize this is the moon: it's really, really big (at least compared with the Earth), and orbits us pretty fast. All that angular momentum (rotational energy) prevents the other planets from playing any axial shenanigans.
Or not. The moon may actually be hurting us in the long term, since it's slowing us down, which makes us more susceptible to the intrigues of the outer planets. But that's a billion-year problem anyway, and if the moon disappeared tomorrow, our seasons would still be seasonal for a really long time.
So, besides the tides, would we notice a disappeared moon? Well, yes, because it's really big and bright, and there'd be nothing to howl at anymore. But would it affect us? Not really. So as for the moon … I'm over it!
A robotic arm at the International Space Station captures an unmanned Dragon space capsule as it delivered supplies, including a DNA sequencer, to the outpost's crew on July 20, 2016.

A DNA sequencer that was just delivered to the International Space Station can test not just known Earthly organisms. Turns out, the little device may also be able to analyze samples taken from alien life, NASA said.
The SpaceX Dragon capsule met up with the International Space Station (ISS) early yesterday morning (July 20), after being launched aboard the Falcon 9 rocket on July 18. Among the goods delivered was the MinION — a palm-sized sequencer with a lot of promise that weighs just 120 grams (0.27 pounds).
"This one piece of equipment might do a lot for us, in terms of exploration, research and crew health-related issues," said Sarah Wallace, a NASA microbiologist and member of the team working on the MinION experiment, in a recent conversation with Live Science.
Alien DNA?
There are quite a few special features of the MinION — pronounced with emphasis on the "ion," not like the little yellow creatures from "Despicable Me." One that stands out: its ability to examine alien life-forms. [Greetings, Earthlings! 8 Ways Aliens Could Contact Us]
The DNA sequencer can fit into the palm of your hand.

According to a NASA statement, others sequencers that are being considered for use in space will only test for known and targeted organisms. The MinION, on the other hand, will provide analysis of an entire sample, such as all microorganisms in that sample or a full genome. It has very small pores, called nanopores, that allow ions (electrically charged particles) to pass through, creating a current. If other molecules, such as DNA, pass through these channels, they reduce this current in particular ways. The reduction in current is then analyzed and can reveal the sequence of the sample.
"It doesn't actually have to just be DNA that could pass through that pore," Aaron Burton, space scientist and lead on this experiment, told Live Science. "All you really need is a polymer that will block the pore going through it." This means that it may have the ability to detect alien life that is similar but not quite the same as our own.
Burton explained that experts generally believe that, if there is life on Mars, it probably shares some basic features with our own. Mars had water, it used to have more of an atmosphere and our worlds have traded meteors. This means that, whatever life-forms each planet has, those organisms are likely to have a common ancestor. Mars may not have DNA-based life, but, if it has something close, MinION might be the best bet at finding it.
Even now, researchers at several institutions are experimenting with a faux-DNA material, dubbed XNA (xeno nucleic acid). This is a synthetic version of DNA that uses the same bases as DNA (adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine) but has them attached to sugars that are different from the ones we see in DNA.
Clean it up
Beyond searching for alien life, the MinION will also be used to evaluatethe ISS environment and crew. As much as NASA tries to make sure everything is spic-and-span before sending a delivery to the station, microbes are inevitable. [Infographic: The International Space Station: Inside and Out]
"We try to put things up there as microbially clean as possible, but we don't sterilize the crew, of course," said Wallace. "So, they take their microbiome and that becomes the ISS microbiome." Her lab already does quarterly microbial monitoring of the surfaces and air of the ISS. The water is sampled once a month because it's made of recycled urine and condensate, which includes sweat and exhaled breath. This recycling process increases the likelihood that the crew could ingest potential pathogens.
In the past, they've found the kinds of microbes that are expected around humans, including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas, Streptococcusand Klebsiella. Wallace also mentioned that a cloth-like wall in the Russian section of the ISS once grew green and fuzzy from astronauts bungee-ing their wet towels to it in order to dry. To battle grime or illness on the ISS, NASA supplies and resupplies a wide variety of antibiotics, disinfectants and biocides; but the best method of attack isn't known until a sample of the problem-causing microbe is analyzed.
Currently, all of the samples taken from the and the occupants of the ISS have to be stored and then sent back to Earth for sequencing. The hope is that MinION will allow these samples to the sequenced in real time. This will eliminate the need for long-term storage of samples, which Burton said would be implausible for an extended mission, such as a proposed 500-day journey to Mars. Being able to sequence samples immediately to identify causes of disease or uncleanliness will also provide NASA with valuable information about the kinds of microbes these future missions should anticipate. With the limited space that comes with extended missions as well as the necessary supplies required for such journeys, everything that’s brought along needs to have a purpose.
No adjustments were made to the MinION for use in zero gravity, but Wallace said they did optimize the protocols for use in order to cut down on the time the crew would need to spend on this work. The lack of modifications to MinION means that even the simplest of lessons learned during this experiment can have effects that go beyond the space program. "If we can make something work on the ISS, in microgravity, then, any changes or advances we have to make to work it there have benefits on Earth as well," said Burton.
Lessons learned in space may also translate into knowledge for other "low-resource" environments, where resources are limited. Researchers have already used the MinION in Liberia for rapid sequencing of Ebola.
Bright blue auroras at Jupiter's north and south poles are putting on a veritable fireworks show just before the July 4 arrival of the Juno probe.
Jupiter's colorful auroras have been imaged before, but a month of daily observations of Jupiter by the Hubble Space Telescope has allowed scientists to put together a time-lapse video showing how the auroras evolve.
"These auroras are very dramatic and among the most active I have ever seen," Jonathan Nichols, a researcher at the University of Leicester in England who is using Hubble's observations to study auroras on Jupiter, said in a statement. "It almost seems as if Jupiter is throwing a fireworks party for the imminent arrival of Juno."
The auroras cover large sections of the planet's poles and are "hundreds of times more energetic" than Earth's auroras, according to the statement from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Hubble Telescope group. Earth's auroras are created when charged particles from the sun (called the solar wind) interact with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. On Jupiter, auroras are created by the energetic particles that come from the sun, but also from one of the planet's moons, Io. Jupiter has an incredibly strong magnetic field, and, unlike on Earth, the auroras on Jupiter never stop, according to the statement.
Nichols and his colleagues are using Hubble to examine the auroras in ultraviolet light, and analyze how the auroras respond to the solar wind. The Juno probe is currently flying through that same solar wind, and measuring its properties, the statement said. (Hubble did a similar study of Jupiter's auroras and the solar wind with the Cassini probe in 2000).
Jupiter's auroras were first spotted by the Voyager 1 probe, and have been studied by additional observatories ever since.
The Juno probe will arrive at Jupiter on July 4, and turn on its thrusters in order to slow down and enter into orbit around the planet. Juno will make a total of 37 loops around Jupiter (traveling into the narrow space between the cloud tops and the radiation belt that surrounds the planet), over the course of about 20 months. With its mission complete, Juno will make a death dive into Jupiter in February 2018.
New Kind of Black Hole Glimpsed in the Early Universe
New Kind of Black Hole Glimpsed in the Early Universe
International School of Advanced Studies (ISSAS)
IN BRIEF
Strange signals coming from the galaxy CR7 were observed last year and could prove a theory stating that the heat of the early universe gave birth to giant stars that consume all the gas and dust around them, leading themselves to an early grave and leaving a black hole "seed."
DEATH BY OVEREATING
In 2003, Avi Loeb, chair of the astronomy department at Harvard University and Volker Bromm of the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) theorized the existence of black holes that result from a process referred to as “direct collapse.”
In this process, an environment that is so hot, such as the early universe, would promote the growth of a single massive star instead of forming several clumps of thousands of smaller stars. And because heavier elements were not as spread out in the early universe, stars made up of almost purely helium and hydrogen lack the elements that would have helped cool them down.
Stars born under these circumstances quickly consume all the gas and dust around them, growing around 1 million times bigger than normal stars, but ultimately driving themselves to an early grave.
AARON SMITH/TACC/UT-AUSTIN
When such a star dies, it may implode and form a black hole which may start out medium-sized but would eventually grow into supermassive black holes from constant feeding.
“The special aspect of this (direct-collapse) process is that it leads to the formation of a very massive ‘seed’ black hole in one go,” Loeb says. “It is difficult to make such a giant black hole over such a short time if they start from low-mass seeds.”
POSSIBLE EVIDENCE OF THIS THEORY JUST CAME UP
Astronomers observed a strange signal coming from a galaxy known as CR7 last year. This galaxy is one of the most luminous objects in the early universe and its temperature is assumed to be over 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite evidence of helium ionization detected from the galaxy, there were no signs of other elements, such as heavier elements.
It is not certain, however, whether the irregularities were caused by a direct-collapse black hole, or first-generation stars.
“That makes the galaxy that we have discovered really unique, and ticks all the boxes for predictions for both first-generation stars, or a direct-collapse black hole,” says David Sobral, an astrophysicist at the University of Lisbon in Portugal.
Impression of heated gas surrounding one of the first stars in the universe. NASA.
“Regardless, the actual material—pristine gas, to make either first-generation stars or a direct collapse black hole is essentially the same, and it is extremely exciting to finally start asking actual physical questions about the nature of the very early galaxies,” Sobral said. “This goes way beyond the traditional approach of simply counting distant galaxies.”
More observations will be conducted to confirm what it is exactly that is causing the strange signals from CR7. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) are up to the task, as well as other research teams using computer simulations.

Star Wars President Reagan
The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) often called Star Wars was proposed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan on March 23, 1983, to use ground- and space-based systems to protect the United States from attack by strategic nuclear ballistic missiles. The Strategic Defense Initiative was set up in 1984 and “widely criticized as being unrealistic, as well as for threatening to destabilize MAD and re-ignite “an offensive arms race” between the Soviets and the United States.
It was soon derided and called Star Wars implying there was another reason for building the weapons system particularly when he offered to share it with the Soviets
Many scientists claimed that a global shield such as “Star Wars” was not only impossible with existing technology, but that ten more years of research was needed to learn whether it might ever be feasible. There is good reason to believe that the billions spent to develop an effective system that may now exist.
Lasers and other weapons have come on line and the Soviets became a much smaller threat as the new much smaller country of Russia. The Soviet ICBM fleet had tens of thousands of warheads, but only about 1,400 missiles. If each satellite had two dozen lasers, two dozen satellites on-station would significantly blunt any attack. In Molniya orbits, satellites would spend much of their time over the USSR, and only a few dozen satellites would be needed, in total. An article in Aviation Week and Space Technology described how the devices “… are so small that a single payload bay on the space shuttle could carry to orbit a number sufficient to stop a Soviet nuclear weapons attack”.
In Reagan’s March 23, 1983, “Star Wars” speech, Reagan announced, “I call upon the scientific community who gave us nuclear weapons to turn their great talents to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.” In a surprising statement, “He offered to share the technology with the Soviets.”
The program became the largest and most expensive weapons program in the US defense budget costing 8.5 Billion dollars per year. Although, we’re are told it is designed to destroy incoming nuclear missiles it may also be an effective weapons system to protect the United States against limited UFO threats as Reagan inferred on several occasions. In 1984, the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) was established to oversee the program, which was headed by Lt. General James Alan Abrahamson USAF, Initially, the program focused on large scale systems designed to defeat a Soviet offensive strikes. However, as the threat diminished, the program shifted towards smaller systems designed to defeat limited launches like those of North Korea or Iran.
President Reagan stated in remarks made to the 42nd General Assembly of the United Nations. September 21, 1987, “In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us realize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you,
IS NOT AN ALIEN FORCE ALREADY AMONG US?”
Only a few people knew the answer was yes there is an alien force among us. Reagan received regular intelligence data on UFO activities.
Stargate or Star Wars?
Darren Perks
Darren Perks a British Ufologist investigates and researches UFOs and related subjects. He has contributed to extensive media work, and has acted as a consultant or contributor on numerous TV and radio shows and many documentaries and films. writes, “Since approximately 1980, a secret space fleet code named ‘Solar Warden’ has been in operation unknown to the public.
These are my own words after conducting research into the secret program. Whilst conducting an FOI (freedom of information) request with the DOD (department of defense) in 2010, I had a much unexpected response by email from them which read:
“About an hour ago I spoke to a NASA rep who confirmed this was their program and that it was terminated by the President. He also informed me that it was not a joint program with the DOD. The NASA rep informed me that you should be directed to the Johnson Space Center FOIA Manager.”
I have run your request through one of our space-related directorates and I’m waiting on one other division with the Command to respond back to me. I will contact you once I have a response from the other division. Did NASA refer you to us?”
The program not only operates classified under the US Government, but also under the United Nations authority. So you might be wondering how do I know this information?
Well there are a few people and many others that have tried hard to find out the truth, and have succeeded by leaked information or simply asking questions and have government departments slip up and give away information freely, just like what happened when Darren Perks asked the DoD.
One notable contributor is Gary Mckinnon. When Gary McKinnon hacked into U.S. Space Command computers several years ago and learned of the existence of “non-terrestrial officers” and “fleet-to-fleet transfers” and a secret program called “Solar Warden“, he was charged by the Bush Justice Department with having committed “the biggest military computer hack of all time“, and stood to face prison time of up to 70 years after extradition from UK.
But trying McKinnon in open court would involve his testifying to the above classified facts, and his attorney would be able to subpoena government officers to testify under oath about the Navy’s Space Fleet. The UK has denied the extradition of McKinnon to the U.S.
Allegedly, McKinnon also found out about the ships or craft within Solar Warden. It is said that there are eight cigar-shaped Motherships (each longer than two football fields end-to-end) and 43 small “scout ships. The Solar Warden Space Fleet operates under the US Naval Network and Space Operations Command (NNSOC) [formerly Naval Space Command]. There are approximately 300 personnel involved at that facility, with the figure rising
Solar Warden is said to be made up from U.S. aerospace Black Projects contractors, but with some contributions of parts and systems by Canada, United Kingdom, Italy, Austria, Russia, and Australia. It is also said that the program is tested and operated from secret military bases such as Area 51 in Nevada. Thanks to the Huffington Post article quoting Darren Perks.

William Tomkins who worked for several aviation companies including Douglas and Lockheed confirms Solar Warden and the need for more space ships to fight negative aliens usually described as Reptilians. So should we just write this off as utter nonsense? No we shouldn’t and as time goes on the truth will slowly come out. Many people around the world are now witnessing craft moving around in the skies, our atmosphere and underwater that completely defy gravity. Whether they are part of the Solar Warden secret program, military experimental aircraft or not, thousands of people know what they see. MUFON is getting almost a thousand UFO reports a month.
In my view Solar Warden is very real and a very strong possibility. So no, I don’t think we should rule it out as complete nonsense. Yes, it’s a conspiracy because of all the hype and controversy surrounding the facts and information about the program. This program would change the world and our views on space exploration and travel, so no wonder that it would be kept a big ‘secret’. The media is controlled by six companies that choose what is revealed to the public and have a very liberal propaganda mission. We should all keep it in the back of our minds, for now at least! Thanks to Sheryl Dingman.
Editor’s Note: I have heard similar stories that appear to have some validity. Commander Graham Bethune who was the chief pilot for several Admirals told me similar information and that we have bases on the Moon and Mars.
We are getting signals from various government sources to reveal the secrets of UFOs and alien visitations. I get the impression high ranking officers are very concerned at the potential threat.
His story was similar to some of the Stargate SG-1 television series and its sequels. Several types of starships are introduced in the later seasons with world missions to other planets visited via the Stargate. The Stargate is an alien device discovered on Earth that allows near instantaneous travel to other planets via a controlled wormhole across a network of similar gates. Some of these alien races are hostile to Earth and bent on galaxy-wide domination, so Earth starships are built by the US military through billions of dollars in secret funding to respond to the threat.
Earth begins constructing its own space-capable fighters and larger, Mothership-style vessels based on alien technology. The plans for these vessels are shared with the Russians.
The first successful ship fielded by Earth is the F-302, a small, two-man craft somewhat similar to a traditional human fighter aircraft. Later on, Earth begins creating interstellar battle cruisers, such as the Daedalus Battle Cruiser. I have talked William Tomkins and others who claim Time Travel is possible and we have space ships.
Caution: Counter intelligence and PSYOP personnel inform me that thousands of government documents were made to fool foreign spies to get them to buy alleged UFO material. In other words, a legitimate government document may not be the truth. For example if you fired from your job and collect unemployment insurance you are counted as unemployed. However, once you stop collecting you are not counted in the unemployment figures. We are told unemployment is 6%, but about 23% of the population is looking for work.
Psychological operations (PSYOP) are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.
The purpose of United States psychological operations is to induce or reinforce behavior favorable to U.S. objectives. They are an important part of the range of diplomatic, informational, military, and economic activities available to the U.S.
Part 2 Gosport, England Witness
By Bob Spearing one of our great investigators and New Jersey MUFON State Section Director tells about case #68712 he investigated. Stokes Bay, Gosport, U.K. – RESOLVED –Unknown Aerial Vehicle, Possible Abduction
Gosport, England is also home to the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) “just up the road” from Don Martin’s our witness’s house. It is the U.K. equivalent of the United States’ Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The DSTL’S mission, by its own admission, is “to maximize the impact of science and technology for the defense and security of the U.K.” Its means are the utilization of experiments in chemical, radiological and nerve agents. One of its specific areas of research is Air and Weapons Systems.
It seems Gosport and its surrounding areas are perhaps the most secretive and sensitive top secret locations in all of Great Britain! And Don our fisherman went fishing there! Don had another episode that predated his July 22nd affair. On June 8th, 2015 at a Gosport’s friend’s house at approximately 10 pm, he states “I was very tired and fell asleep on a settee and feeling a severe burning pain on my left foot I woke up. It stopped. Later, I woke up again with the pain. I looked to my foot and there was a green and yellow glass-like rod one foot long which looked and felt like a welding rod lying on my foot burning my skin. There was no mark. There was no smell of burning flesh but there was a buzzing noise. My socks were also hanging off my toes as if removed. The atmosphere in room was strange, silent. The television was on but had no sound. Three friends were there but they did not move. Then I blacked out. Nothing was said in the morning and I left it at that.”
I decided to investigate Gosport itself to see if he was fishing where he should not have been. I was taken aback by the results. Gosport is a sleepy town with a series of chapels and a nice seaside. But it is also home to the Portsmouth HM Naval Base just a half mile away from Don Martin’s fishing spot. It is the home of two-thirds of the British Navy and soon to be home of Britain’s two new aircraft carriers. It also has a submarine base.
Even closer to Don’s Stokes Bay seawall fishing spot is Fort Moncton. It is a two hundred year old edifice protecting the bay. Its only entrance today is still via its drawbridge and its English Channel facing side has an enormous and unscalable sea wall. I did a search for Fort Moncton on the internet. The reader should do the same. According to Wikipedia, the only legitimate website mentioning Fort Moncton, it seems its only purpose apart from its function as logistical support for the Special Air Service (SAS), the special forces arm of the British Military, is purportedly as the main training facility for MI6 (British Intelligence Service) teaching “field craft.” Additionally, it is the almost universal absence of anything on the internet for this 200 year old fort that is most disconcerting.
From 1972 to 1985 Don was in the military. He spent considerable time in the 47th Air Dispatch Squadron. He flew on many missions in support of the SAS on C-13O transport planes. When asked if he ever flew any secret missions, he stated when he was handed a gun and a knapsack on several missions it was inferred something was going on. In August 1982, Don was stationed in Cyprus when he caught the tail end of a UFO sighting over the communications base responsible for intercepting all communications from the Middle East. Don was stationed at Bloodhound Camp on the outskirts of Akrotiri Sovereign Base which housed the Royal Air Force. It is Britain’s largest overseas base. It was 3:30 am, when Don was roused from sleep by a commotion. He ran outside. Sirens were going off.
Akrotiri Radomes
Akrotiri had three listening stations housed in white golf ball shaped facilities called radomes. People were taking flash photography of something over the golf balls. Don saw a silvery blue elongated donut shaped vehicle hovering over the golf balls. It had windows and was engulfed in a sort of misty atmosphere and it glowed. It was also absolutely silent. Don and several comrades estimated that its size was slightly longer than a 747 Jumbo Jet.
For many years the Akrotiri base was the site of a powerful shortwave transmitter called the Lincolnshire Poacher, which was used by the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) to transmit instructions to undercover British agents. Additionally, antennas at Akrotiri tracked surveillance satellites as well as U-2s on secret Middle East Intelligence gathering flights. According to Wikipedia” “The Lincolnshire Poacher” was a powerful shortwavenumbers station that transmitted from Cyprus from the mid-1970s to June 2008. The station gained its commonly known name as it uses bars from the English folk song “The Lincolnshire Poacher” as an interval signal. The radio station was believed to be operated by the BritishSecret Intelligence Service and emanated from the island of Cyprus.[1] Amateur direction finding linked it with the Royal Air Force base at Akrotiri, Cyprus, where several curtain antennas had been identified as being its transmitter.[2] It consisted of an electronically synthesized English-accented female voice reading groups of five numbers: e.g. ‘0-2-5-8-8’. The final number in each group was spoken at a higher pitch. It is likely that the station was used to communicate to undercover agents (spies) operating in other countries, to be decoded using a one-time pad.”
There is a corroborating story in Richard Dolan’s book entitled “The Cover-Up Exposed 1973-1991.” In this version of the account as forwarded to Mr. Dolan by Nick Redfern, on August 16, 1981 (a thirteen months difference with Don Martin’s estimation) an order was given by the British Ministry of Defense for all aircraft operating out of Akrotiri to stand down. Shortly afterwards a “vast” object was tracked at 30,000 feet traveling at 900 mph. The object came to a halt over the base for 45 minutes.
Witnesses described it as a white triangle over 700 feet long similar to the image show.. As Don Martin recounted, many photos were taken. On the following day a man and a woman arrived at the base and confiscated all photographs. Don’s story seems to hold up well against Richard Dolan’s!
Therefore a highly classified M-I6 operation was underway in Cyprus where the UFO hovered. Given Don’s role in SAS support operations in his 13 years with the military and his proximity to the SAS support facility Fort Moncton later as well as his living down the road from DSTL Laboratories, one must question if Don was an innocent bystander in a highly complex spy world. Don’s experience in Cyprus may well be of an ultimately important UFO sighting currently under wraps by governments involved in the sighting. The British Government has no equivalent of the American Freedom of Information Act so we may never know what went on at Akrotiri.
Around the time of the Akrotiri incident, Don was found in a sleepwalking state in his underwear on the base. Several years earlier, back in England again in the employ of the 47th, Don woke up in a Chippenham military base’s garden without any clothes on. He doesn’t remember how he got there. Was Don simply a victim of somnambulist’s nightmares or was he being returned from abductions?
So we have Don, a witness to a UFO sighting on a British Military base in August 1982, a victim of a July 22nd, 2015 sighting with physical effects in a highly secretive British town and a victim as well in several ancillary experiences such as Thassos, Greece, reaching out to MUFON for help. What else could be construed as being irregular in this twisted tale? The sad answer came soon enough! On January 28th, 2016 (exactly six months and six days after his July 22nd sighting), I heard from Don for the first time since his Greece vacation. The email went as follows:
“Hi Bob, I`m sorry for the delay in contacting you. Unfortunately it has just been confirmed I have been diagnosed with terminal Esophageal and Liver Cancer. I believe this is a direct effect of the event of 22 July 2015. I am interested to know I if you are still willing to write up this event in the Mufon Journal, using my name. My prognosis is two to three months life span. I will leave it at that for now until I receive your reply. Sincerely Don.”
There had to be more to this story. Only 7 months after being enveloped in a yellow haze of a UFO, Don Martin was dying. Was Don imagining everything or was something happening to him? What could I do as an investigator? I couldn’t walk up to Fort Moncton’s Drawbridge and ring the bell asking if anyone was sending killer drones on unsuspecting British citizens, could I? I could only detail what happened. There was no physical evidence but the circumstantial evidence, the amazing coincidences concerning the SAS and MI6, and the amazing onset of terminal cancer so soon after his horrific July 22nd 2015 affair suggest a pattern. And so “What if?”
What if his whole story is true or even just part of it?! Then we must confront the legitimate possibility that Don Martin, the Gosport Fisherman, was murdered by someone or something unknown! Don Martin died on March 5, 2016 exactly 7 months and 14 days after his encounter.

Ancient Pyramids
Graham Hancock suggests — to the everlasting irritation of mainstream archaeologists — that, yes, perhaps the Great Pyramid and other megaliths are thousands of years older than we currently believe and were built by one such advanced, ancient civilization. Whoever the pyramids’ builders were, they had a deep knowledge of astronomy. The perimeter of the base of the Great Pyramid, for instance, multiplied by 43,200, gives you the equatorial circumference of the Earth. And 43,200 isn’t a random number. It is a multiple of 72.
Why does 72 matter? Like a top winding down while it spins, the Earth wobbles on its axis. In astronomy, this motion is called “precession.” It takes 72 years for the Earth to complete one degree of precessional wobble. So it seems the Great Pyramid’s builders knew not only the size of the planet but also some very subtle, sophisticated things about how it moves through space. This at a time before modern man even realized Earth was round. We have the evidence of the Sphinx. Boston University Geology professor Dr. Robert Schoch and Egyptologist John Anthony West have presented very compelling and unrefuted evidence dating the
Sphinx to as far back as 10,000 to 15,000 plus BC. Water erosion of the Sphinx is obvious, due to unmistakable ‘precipitation induced weathering’, deep vertical fissures and undulating horizontal coves that could only have been caused by thousands of years of heavy rain – rain that must have fallen on the Sphinx after it was carved. The last time it rained like this was 7000 to 5000 BC, and the Sphinx would have already existed. Thanks to Dr. Robert Schoch and Graham Hancock

Sightings in the United States
California Triangle
I have become a bit of a sky watcher, and have seen many odd things in the last year, but I have never seen a triangle-type craft, until I reviewed the footage from my modified ‘ghost’-pro (a full-spectrum night vision camera), that I had collected on July 12-13 2016. Although I expected a possible few meteors, I caught two hours of some of the most anomalous lights I had ever seen.
My camera is tripod mounted, and I keep a known UV light source in frame; it’s a security camera mounted on the corner of the roof on the second story. That way I can review the security camera, if I believe the ghost-pro has been moved. The video will show the event, un-retouched, then enhanced video/stills. I will continue to report the night vision anomalies, as they happen. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Orbs and Cylinder
Indialantic— I am sitting on the beach with my dogs and all of a sudden I see two balls of light over the ocean. It looked like they were coming closer, but they had stopped. They hovered for a while, but they went down and disappeared into the ocean. I have a picture on my Facebook. I too would like to know what is going on with these lights. My cousin saw the same thing three years ago in Sebastian. I Goggled balls of light in Sebastian, and up came a bunch of the same sightings always seen either over the ocean or the river. Response from Witness to Investigator Questions: My sighting was on April 21, 2016, and it was around 8:00 PM. It is a photo of the two lights over the ocean’s surface. Note: This sighting was reported to Brian Vike (UFO blogger) who forwarded the case to me. The photo appears to show two sets of two lights. The photos were taken with low resolution so the enlargements are fairly grainy. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Boca Raton— My fiancé and I were recording odd skywriting on July 7, 2016, while my car was serviced at Tires Plus. We were on the sidewalk on State Road 7 just south of the intersection at SW 18th Street (Marina Blvd) looking east. While recording, an object it flew through the sky in front of where I was recording from the south to north.
I could not make out what it was until I checked the still shots of the video. It was the fastest moving thing I have ever seen. See attached video approx 5-6 sec in. It zips by in a fraction of a second. I also attached a screen shot of it. It appears to be a dark colored craft with some sort or energy below it, and what could be a cockpit type hatch on the top. It made no noise whatsoever. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kentucky Lights
Winchester – On July 13, 2016, at 11 PM. my wife and I were sitting in our garage and she noticed a light in the sky and asked me if it was a plane. I said, “The army depot is that way.” She said, “It’s moving too fast to be a plane.” I looked at what she was looking at and it covered a distance that made me think it was a drone that was close by. I had to run out of the garage to follow its path, which would stop and reverse then go forward and return about every two seconds. It would change from white light to red and back again. We timed the object which we now knew wasn’t a drone or plane because it shot straight up into a cloud with lightening. It covered a distance in 28 seconds that covered miles, then came back and went into the lightning clouds! I tried to record. Thanks to MUFON
Michigan Orbs
Potterville— On July 9th 2016 at 11:30 PM, I noticed an orange ball in the sky. I went outside and noticed there were actually five of them hovering. They would drop down then rise back up. To my west were the white ball and an orange ball next to it and one orange ball directly above us. I couldn’t judge the distance, but the white ball looked real close. I watched them for about an hour. The white ball with the orange one left at the same time. The three to the south and one above remained. One of the three in the south then went west. The other two just kept hovering and then they also went west. The orange sphere looked like a comet and bright white ball. The sky was clear and the moon was only a sliver. I can’t zoom much with a phone. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Nevada Light
Las Vegas— There were two sightings of this “thing” on two separate nights. My brother was visiting and we were up late on July 8, 2016, at my house. We went outside around 1:30 am. He looked up at the sky and pointed out a strange glowing “thing”. It was faintly changing color, pulsing, and twinkling red and green, but predominantly golden yellow. It was hovering over the trees to the west. It was very low in the sky and hovered in one spot too long to be a helicopter. It wasn’t a plane as they don’t hover. My brother said it looked like a UFO not more than 500 feet away.
The next night it was not there but I went outside again at 12:35 a.m. it was in exactly the same spot in the sky as before. I texted my brother and got my husband to look and he was mystified as well. The UFO kept changing shape and was flying west in a straight line and slowly disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Disc
On September 22, 2015 around 9 pm, my fiancé woke me up to say, “There are weird lights outside.” So I went outside on my apartment balcony to look, and sure enough I am still not sure what I saw. There were three objects going by every five minutes. We both took videos. After that I pretty much brushed it off until April, I was watching YouTube videos and they reminded me of my videos. So I decided to do a frequent snapshot between both videos. I zoomed in, and could not believe what I think I captured. One “vehicle” had two beings sitting inside of an acorn shaped object; the one in the front, you can see his eyes and the top of his head. The one in the rear, you can see his whole face. The other object was even weirder. Is was significantly bigger and seemed transparent in the snapshot. A door can also be seen. I only know what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Lights
Brentwood –On Saturday night, July 16, 2016, at 9:20 pm, when my fiancée and I were driving down the street, we saw two yellow-orange colored bright lights ascending towards the sky.
At first, we thought they were just couple of balloons or a helicopter of some sort. We watched for a good couple of minutes, our thoughts altered. so we have decided to record it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Streaks
Wendell — Late one afternoon, I think it was June 29, 2016; a thunderstorm was brewing so I grabbed my digital camera to take several pictures of the clouds. The second picture I took had streaks of light that shot through my field of vision just as I clicked the shutter. I almost deleted it, but was glad I didn’t. It was around 6-7 pm, on my deck which is facing southeast and looking at the clouds. I’m always on the lookout for tornado-looking clouds and these looked like that, low, flat, very dark gray, and whitish underneath. These three bright beams of light startled me as they streaked across my eyes. They seemed to originate from underneath the clouds. I’ve had a few other people look at the photo and they don’t know what the streaks are either. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Lights
Springfield–I observed 5-7 objects in the sky while I was outside for a smoke break on April 5, 2016. I had a sense they were UFO’s (I have had previous encounters with them). The objects stayed in the same place. I kept going outside to check on them. When I went outside again around midnight they were gone. I was alarmed. The sighting brought back fears I had from previous encounters. After the birth of my 6th child, the medical doctors wanted to study my blood in order to research components of my blood that would be able to help other mothers with the length of time they were pregnant before delivery. Maybe the aliens are interested in my blood for the same reason. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Orbs
Virginia Beach — My fiance’ took a picture of the last rays of sunlight in a strip of shops just north of the mall on July 1, 2016. It wasn’t until I was looking at the pictures that I noticed a diamond shaped series of lights, Three white/blue and one at the tip was reddish.
It was so far off, we never saw the object, but captured it on film. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Disc
Bellingham — I had just applied for a job at the local University and decided to stop to get a nice view of the bay on July 6, 2016. It was raining lightly and inside the plumes of smoke was a rectangle-shaped dark patch that was moving away. I watched it with curiosity because of the odd, dark rectangle shape. I thought it might be, coming in for landing. I noted the slowness with which the object moved across the sky. After 15 minutes, the object was lined up with the airport. The rectangle would also slowly drift halfway to its starting position and back again. I zoomed in on my phone camera and filmed a few shots of the object. After filming, I saw a jet take off from Bellingham International Airport and watched it transit the rectangle. The jet was almost as big as the object, but clearly closer to me, showing me the object was much larger than the jet. I saw the object drift slightly west one last time, and slowly vanish. In conclusion, all of its behaviors and drifting patterns defy explanation. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Fast Objects
I am in Mordialloc, Melbourne and just witnessed on July 17, 2016, at 4:11 am, two super fast flying objects [silent] moving across the sky fairly distant but moving at the same speed from north east to south west. The stars were static so I know I wasn’t mistaken. Thanks to Linda Roberts [mayo.chan.roberts@gmail.com]
Canada Sphere
Scarborough, Ontario — On July 8, 2016, I was on afternoon break with some co-workers looked north of our position about a mile away noticed a roundish dark flashing object couple of hundred feet at 3:14 pm. It was moving from the east heading west at maintaining the same altitude. Its movements appeared strange as a bright flashing white light. I alerted my friend and we both ran through the parking lot north at about seventy yards and stopped and looked.
It was now straight north of us hovering and I started to film and pointed the object out to my co-worker who could see it hovering. Then it started to rise vertical then stop and continue to climb straight up higher. Another co-worker witnessed this strange round object. Every minute it continued flashing and climbed higher stopping at intervals. The object climbed so high we could all no longer see it! The sighting ended at 3:27 pm. Thanks to Paul Shishis.
Mexico Lights
Monterrey — I was outside on the balcony looking at 10:40 pm at the sky and Jupiter, when suddenly I saw like a shooting star switching colors blue red and white on June 24, 2016. It made a sudden change of direction to 15 degrees northwest towards the Leo Constellation, but making different short turns, like deciding where to go. The event took about 13 seconds then camouflaged as the light dimmed down fast. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Poland Object
Kudowa Zdrój — I made three photos of the moon and saw this object to the right of the moon. I zoomed in and saw this object on the first picture. On the second in the shadow it looks like a triangle shape. On the third picture it is a light in ring. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Russia Space Light
Unidentified objects were filmed over the Ural Mountains with the night vision camera. During simulation, the sky and the time any satellites at this location was not in accordance with Stellarium program. There were three UFOs, one flew south, and it was the first UFO. The second object in the sky which flew under the star Altair was similar to the brightness of the star and moved to the north. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Alien Creature
Newton Abbot Devon— Today in the early hours of the morning on July 17, 2016, I had an incredible sighting. It was 4:30 AM and I had just woken up and I was thirsty, so I decided to get up and get a drink from downstairs. As I was passing my large window I looked out and saw something that gave me a fright. There was the back of a grey alien right outside standing next to a rose bush. The head of the Alien was totally out of proportion to its body. I could clearly see its grey skin there was no hair on its head. The alien looked 5 feet tall and was wearing a tightly fitted black looking one piece jumpsuit. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing I slowly moved past the window and upstairs to the bedroom where I had my camera. I grabbed my camera and slowly went back to the window but the being was no longer there. Then I heard a car alarm go off down the road like something had bumped into one of the cars. It was dark but there was some light as the sun was just coming up over the horizon. In the morning I took a photograph of the spot where the alien grey had been standing and there were two rose petals on the garden. NOTE: The above image is CGI. Thanks to the witness John Mooner chief photographer for www.worldufophotos.org
Canvey Island Essex — Sitting in my garden in Essex on July 19, 2016, I was taking a photo of the sky. This object was not in the screen view as I took the photo. It appeared and I looked straight up and it was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

What Would Happen If Comet Swift-Tuttle Hit the Earth?
What Would Happen If Comet Swift-Tuttle Hit the Earth?

Shooting stars may fill you with child-like wonder, but these celestial showstoppers are also reminders that Earth is hardly alone in space, and some of those cosmic objects can be downright dangerous.
The Perseid meteor shower, which appears every year in mid-August, occurs when Earth passes through a trail of debris left by Comet Swift-Tuttle. In 1973, based on calculations about the object's orbit using limited observations, astronomer Brian Marsden at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics predicted that Comet Swift-Tuttle could collide with Earth in 2126. The catastrophic prediction was later retracted, but what would happen if Comet Swift-Tuttle smacked into our planet?
"We have to be clear that it's not going to happen," Donald Yeomans, a senior research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and author of "Near-Earth Objects: Finding Them Before They Find Us" (Princeton University Press, 2012), told Live Science. [Perseid Meteor Shower 2016: When, Where & How to See It]
When Swift-Tuttle was last seen in 1992, Yeomans was among those who produced revised models for the comet's motion, making the complicated calculations to account for the gravitational effects of the sun and planets on the space rock's orbit. The 1992 sighting, along with data from 1862 and 1737, provided astronomers with enough information to rule out the possibility of a collision in 2126.
Even still, Comet Swift-Tuttle isn't just another space rock.
Universe Sandbox 2 - Swift Tuttle comet hitting Earth and Perseid shower
Comet Swift-Tuttle is "certainly one of the largest" objects that crosses paths with the Earth, Yeomans said. The cosmic object measures about 16 miles (26 kilometers) across, and when it passes close to the Earth, roughly every 130 years, it's hurtling through space at about 36 miles per second (58 km/s), or more than 150 times the speed of sound.
If the comet were to strike the planet, the impact energy would be about 300 times that of the asteroid collision that was thought to have caused the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction that killed the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago, according to Yeomans. "It would be a very bad day for Earth," he said.
But the size of a comet or asteroid isn't the only thing to consider with cosmic collisions, said Gerta Keller, a geoscientist at Princeton University.
A comet strike on land or in shallow seas would be "rather destructive" regionally, but the real damage would likely come from gases put into the stratosphere, the part of Earth's atmosphere where the ozone layer is located, Keller told Live Science. Sulfur dioxide would initially cause cooling, and then carbon dioxide would lead to long-term warming, she added. An event like this would likely cause the planet's climate to change drastically, leading to mass extinctions around the globe. [Crash! 10 Biggest Impact Craters on Earth]
But Keller also pointed out that most of Earth's surface is covered in ocean. An impact in the deep ocean could trigger earthquakes and tsunamis, but based on what scientists know about the effects ofunderwater volcanic eruptions, the atmospheric effects likely would be mitigated by the ocean, she said. In this case, Keller said it's unlikely that a comet colliding with Earth would cause mass extinctions.
Scientists calculate that Swift-Tuttle's next approach to Earth will be on Aug. 5, 2126, when it will come within about 14 million miles, or 23 million km, or about 60 times the distance from Earth to the moon, Yeomans said. Current models don't expect the comet to ever get any closer than about 80,000 miles (130,000 km) to Earth's orbit, but as time passes, those predictions become less and less certain. So although Yeomans is sure that Earth faces no threat in 2126, he said 10,000 years from now, "you can't rule out the possibility, but it would seem to be very unlikely."
Part of that slim uncertainty is due to small influences on the comet that change its orbit ever so slightly each time it swings around the sun. For example, as comets pass near the sun and heat up, expanding gases act like jet thrusters, slightly altering the trajectory. For Swift-Tuttle, that effect is very small, likely due to the comet's tremendous mass, Yeomans said. But over thousands of years, these minute, unpredictable effects make it more difficult to predict the orbit of cosmic objects.
And there are plenty of other objects out there to be aware of, Yeomans said. "We have a long, long list of asteroids for which we haven't completely ruled out a collision, but the impact probabilities are so small that it's not really worth worrying about," he said.
Ancient Logbook Documenting Great Pyramid's Construction Unveiled
Ancient Logbook Documenting Great Pyramid's Construction Unveiled

A logbook that contains records detailing the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza has been put on public display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was built in honor of the pharaoh Khufu (reign ca. 2551 B.C.-2528 B.C.) and is the largest of the three pyramids constructed on the Giza plateau in Egypt. Considered a "wonder of the world" by ancient writers, the Great Pyramid was 481 feet (146 meters) tallwhen it was first constructed. Today it stands 455 feet (138 meters) high.
The logbook was written in hieroglyphic letters on pieces of papyri. Its author was an inspector named Merer, who was "in charge of a team of about 200 men," archaeologists Pierre Tallet and Gregory Marouard wrote in an article published in 2014 in the journal Near Eastern Archaeology. [In Photos: Inside Egypt's Great Pyramids]
Tallet and Marouard are leaders of an archaeological team from France and Egypt that discovered the logbook at the Red Sea harbor of Wadi al-Jarfin 2013. It dates back about 4,500 years, making it the oldest papyrus document ever discovered in Egypt.
"Over a period of several months, [the logbook] reports — in [the] form of a timetable with two columns per day — many operations related to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza and the work at the limestone quarries on the opposite bank of the Nile," Tallet and Marouard wrote.
Merer recorded the logs in the 27th year of Khufu's reign. His records say that the Great Pyramid was near completion, with much of the remaining work focusing on the construction of the limestone casing that covered the outside of the pyramid, Tallet and Marouard wrote.
The limestone used in this casing, according to the logbook, was quarried at Tura near modern-day Cairo, and was brought to the pyramid site by boat along the Nile River and a system of canals. One boat trip between Tura and the pyramid site took four days to complete, the logbook notes.
The logbook also says that in Khufu's 27th year, the construction of the Great Pyramid was being overseen by the vizier Ankhaf (also spelled Ankhhaf), the half- brother of Khufu. (A vizier was a high official in ancient Egypt who served the king.)
The papyri also reveal that one of the titles Ankhaf held was "chief for all the works of the king," Tallet and Marouard wrote in the journal article.
Though the logbook said Ankhaf was in charge during the pharaoh's 27th year, many scholars believe it's possible that another person, possibly the vizier Hemiunu, was in charge of pyramid building during the earlier part of Khufu's reign.
In the press release museum representatives did not specify how long the logbook will be on public display.
Summertime is about relaxation, barbecues, and warm weather.
And, apparently, UFOs.
In a series of memos dated all the way to the late 1940s, top CIA officials detail their mounting concern over extraterrestrial life descending upon us. One strange trend quickly emerged to those officials, and one that has remained constant in the 67 years since. Today, as they did in 1949, UFO sightings spike in the summer.
There are several theories about why this happens.
A CIA memo from 1949 captures the agency’s growing concern over UFO activity.CIA
Cassidy Nicholas is the chief archivist for the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, an organization started in 1969 that looks into reported UFO sightings. She is perhaps the foremost expert on UFO sightings data, having handled thousands of investigations within the last several years.
Nicholas passed the MUFON data along to Tech Insider, which include sightings since 1960.
The trend is hard to notice at first, mostly because there only a few dozen reports each month for most of the 20th century. But between May and August the numbers do tend to climb.
It’s a trend that has gotten even easier to spot within the last decade, as more people have heard of MUFON and reported their UFO sightings.
Nicholas’ go-to explanation for this summer spike is pretty straightforward.
“[People] are noticing the weather, hiking, camping, doing outside activities,” she tells Tech Insider. “And there seems to be an increase in live events” like concerts, fireworks, and other community gatherings.
In other words, people are simply outside more in the summer, rather than hunched over their phones.
Other possible reasons include blockbuster movies and UFO-related TV shows released during the summer months. This could prime people to label a radio tower or a remote-controlled drone a UFO.
“It’s likely that the media and [alien-themed] movies that are coming out, like Apollo 18 andPaul, are piquing people’s interest in UFOs,” Clifford Clift, the international director of MUFON, told “Life’s Little Mysteries” in 2011.
Given how long the trend has persisted, however, it’s more likely that being outside is the primary reason for reporting.
A third explanation, of course, is that there are indeed more flying saucers in the sky between June and September, although MUFON has yet to confirm that is the case.
In honor of the summer ritual, Tech Insider dug through the mountain of CIA documents related to UFO sightings, which the agency declassified nearly 40 years ago. Many of the sighting reports date back to the early 1950s, at a time when political tensions were high and flying objects were seen as national security threats.
Here are some of the most interesting.
1. A memo on national security and the ‘vulnerability to air attack’ from flying saucers
CIA
On October 2, 1952, the Assistant Director in the Office of Scientific Intelligence sent a memo to the Director of the entire CIA with the subject “Flying Saucers.”
As the AD wrote, “‘Flying saucers’ pose two elements of danger which have national security implications. The first involves mass psychological considerations and the second concerns the vulnerability of the United States to air attack.”
The AD recommended more research be conducted to explore the “implications of the ‘flying saucer’ problem.”
(If you listen closely enough, you can almost hear them typing the word “drones” decades ahead of time.)
2. Uzbekistan’s mysterious light show
CIA
The late 1940s in the Uzbekistan capital city of Tashkent saw more unidentified light shows than it could count.
“From May to September 1947,” a CIA information report reads, “three light phenomena happening at intervals of about 15 minutes were seen almost every night between 9 and 10 p.m. local time.” At its highest point, the light seemed to be roughly a fifth the diameter of a full moon.
As the report details, the light always began as a bright red ball. Within seconds it would grow a fiery tail and then morph into a green, then white, mass.
“Smoke trails, noises, or detonations were not noticed.”
3. Fiery disks looming over Belgian uranium mines
CIA
A daily newspaper in Vienna, of all publications, reported on a peculiar sighting of “two fiery disks” hovering over uranium mines in mid-August, 1952.
As the report explains, the two objects supposedly tore through the airspace in a highly erratic fashion. At one point they would be soaring vertically away from the onlookers, and the next they’d be diving down “to within 20 meters of the tree tops.”
Commander Pierre of the local airfield took off in his own fighter plane to wrangle the unknown aircraft. However, “Pierre had to give up pursuit after 15 minutes since both disks, with a loud whistling sound which he heard despite the noise of his own plane, disappeared in a straight line toward Lake Tanganyika.”
Pierre later estimated the disks were traveling more than 900 miles per hour.
4. The CIA begins to have its doubts about UFOs
CIA
With all these reports coming in, it didn’t take long for the CIA to get suspicious. In August 1952 (keep in mind, still two months ahead of its memo on those two national security concerns), the Deputy Assistant Director of the Scientific Intelligence officereleased a memodiscounting the threat posed by UFOs.
“Of 1000 to 2000 such reports received by ATIC (Air Technical Intelligence Center), a large percentage are clearly ‘phoney,'” the report reads. In fact, many of the reported flights were easily explained as known missions using US equipment, the report went on.
Owing to the agency’s uncertainty, however, the Deputy AD recommended CIA surveillance continue on the mysterious “flying saucers” under the cover of darkness.
“It is strongly urged … that no indication of CIA interest or concern reach the press or public,” the report read, “in view of their probable alarmist tendencies to accept such interest as ‘confirmatory’ of the soundness of ‘unpublished facts’ in the hands of the U.S. government.”
5. Flying objects passing over Casablanca
CIA
In early September 1952, multiple sightings were reported of various UFOs over Casablanca, Morocco. Residents of the town, which was made famous by the 1942 film, saw two flying saucers that were “elongated in shape” and “followed by a trail of white light.”
On a separate occasion in July, two other people reported seeing a “blue-green, ball-shaped object” just before midnight “moving at a high rate of speed.” The mysterious object disappeared after only three or four seconds, however, “as though it had literally melted into the sky.”
The very next morning, another couple observed a mysterious object around 9 a.m. for roughly 30 seconds. Several more accounts, all with differing details, emerged that summer.
6. The East German flying saucers of 1952
CIA
The CIA published this internal document reporting on one German man’s fantastic account of a 45-foot-wide disk he spotted in a forest when his motorcycle broke down.
Accompanied by his 11-year-old daughter, the man approached the strange-looking object to find two men in “shiny metallic clothing” kneeling over the disk, which had a cone-shaped capsule on top.
Once the two men realized they were being watched, the man says, they hopped into the capsule and the disk began to leave the ground. Eventually, it rose high above the trees and took off.
“I had never heard of the term ‘flying saucer’ before I escaped from the Soviet Union into West Berlin,” the man later said. “When I saw this object, I immediately thought it was a new Soviet military machine.”
7. A year later, the unidentified aircraft is spotted in Morocco again…
CIA
On the night of September 2, 1953, residents of a small town southeast of Casablanca known as Oued Zem reported hearing a thunderous noise. The next morning, a pair of shepherds claimed to have seen a flying object that was “lighted in many colors and flying at great speed.”
The sightings followed two other incidents in July and August, one over Greece and another over Spain. Witnesses in Madrid described the UFO as “flying like a jet plane” but emitting a red reflection and creating no noise.
In Drama, Greece, residents said they saw a rocket-shaped object at low altitude, which stayed stationary for three to four minutes before disappearing into the night.
8. Europe can’t agree about what people are seeing in the sky
CIA
In the span of a month between April 15 and May 13, 1954,five separate reports from France and Sweden each described UFOs of a different size and shape.
The first, on April 15, involved an elongated, cone-shaped object with two red and green lights at its base. It flew at a high altitude.
The next, on April 26, was a “cigar-shaped object” observed by a group of people walking through France’s Sare region, near the Pyrenees border. The object was traveling at a high altitude — roughly 6,500 feet, the observers claimed — and heading toward Spain.
The final event took place the morning of May 13, in Sweden. Three people separately reported seeing a “brilliant, silver-colored sphere with a tail.”
“The object appeared to have a diameter of 15-20 meters (50-65 feet),” the CIA report stated. “After the workers had observed the object for a while, it suddenly flew away at great speed in a northwesternly direction.”
They were the only people who reported seeing the object, unfortunately for them. “They swear, however, that their report is true.”

The Most Mysterious Star in the Galaxy
The Most Mysterious Star in the Galaxy
The object known unofficially as Tabby’s Star dims every so often in a chaotic pattern—and nobody knows why.
Late last year, the PlanetHunters group of citizen-scientists found a perfectly ordinary star behaving very weirdly—fading in brightness every so often, by very different amounts, in a chaotic pattern. In a skillful paper, Tabatha (“Tabby”) Boyajian at Yale pointed out the horrible dilemma posed by the star, which is tucked up under the western wing of Cygnus the Swan. So instead of calling it by its forgettable catalog name, KIC 8462852, everyone now refers to it as Tabby’s Star. (Tabby herself tried to give the star the nickname “WTF Star,” as an acronym for “Where’s The Flux?” The more common usage of “WTF” is also appropriate.) She’s even done a TED talk about it.
I first heard about Tabby’s Star when a smirking colleague came in to the lunchroom and passed around some of Tabby’s plots. All I could do was look perplexed and open-mouthed. Between the astro-professors in the room, we had incredibly wide and deep experience, and none of us had ever seen anything even vaguely like this.
Tabby’s basic plot is a light curve, a measure of brightness as a function of time. Her 4-year light curve came from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft, already legendary for the accuracy and reliability of its light curves. The Kepler plot was basically flat, meaning that the star had a constant brightness, aside from a miniscule periodic modulation as typical of rotating stars that have starspots.
The kicker was that Tabby’s Star shows occasional dips in the light curve, and these are unlike anything ever seen. That is, the star’s brightness faded by a bit for, typically, one day at a time. About ten times, the star faded by 0.2 percent to 8 percent. Twice the dips dimmed the star by 16 percent and 21 percent. The basic dips had a duration of 1-3 days or so, but there is structure in the light curve up to ~100 days long. The dips are not periodic.
Now, Tabby’s star is otherwise a common F3 main-sequence star. That is a bit hotter (6750°K) than our Sun (5800°K), and a bit larger (1.58 times larger than our Sun). The spectrum shows no emission lines, and only the ordinary expected absorption lines. Tabby’s Star has no nearby binary companion that we can detect. This is just a plain normal everyday star. Except for the dips…
Astronomers understand big flaming balls of gases very well, and there is very high confidence that lone F3 main-sequence stars cannot have variations of more than 0.01 percent on any time scale shorter than millions of years. (Well, except for superflares, which these are not.) Further, the light curve dips are not modulated by the known stellar rotation. So the dips aren’t from the underlying star.
This forces us into thinking that they could only be due to something passing across the line of sight, blocking the background starlight (the technical term is “occulting”). After all, the PlanetHunters were explicitly looking for exactly this case, where some orbiting planet occults the star as it passes in front (the term for that is “transits”). But planet transits are always very small in amplitude (less than about one percent or so) and periodic. Whatever it is that is randomly passing in front of Tabby’s Star is not a planet.
The deepest dip dims the star by 21 percent, so whatever was covering up the starlight must have been covering at least 21 percent of the star’s area. This implies that the body, or cloud, or structure must have just under half the radius of the star—which makes it 70 percent the size of our Sun. Whatever it is, it might be solid (like a planet), gaseous (like a star or a gas cloud), or something like a cloud of dust.
The trouble is that any such idea requires that all of these things should be emitting large amounts of infrared light. It should be bright enough to be readily seen above the normal expected infrared light from the primary star. In astro-jargon, Tabby’s Star does not have any excess of infrared light.
So what is blocking out the light from Tabby’s Star? Well, an astronomer’s kneejerk reaction is to try to concoct some model that might explain the observations. We’ve all been tossing out ideas. The trouble is that our ideas founder on the lack of infrared excess. We can imagine accretion disks with flaring edges, or complex multiple star systems with improbable orbits, or vast streams of super-giant comets, or dusty asteroid-asteroid collisions. But all of these require an infrared excess. This includes the suggestion that the dips in brightness might be caused by some partially-constructed artificial “Dyson Sphere” built by a very advanced civilization around the star. But any hypothetical large-scale structures around the star must also emit a lot of light in the infrared, since they must radiate away the huge influx of energy that they intercept from the primary star. The laws of thermodynamics apply to them too
So the remaining viable models are now down to … none. Astronomers have no reasonable idea as to how to explain the dips in Tabby’s Star. But we know the dips are real because of the extraordinary accuracy and reliability of the Kepler spacecraft. So we have a mystery. And I have thought long, and I cannot come up with any other star more mysterious than Tabby’s Star.
When confronted with such an anomaly in very-well-established theory (that F3 main-sequence stars should not have such dips), the possibility arises that we are seeing the first example of some entirely new and unexpected phenomenon. And this is always exciting to astronomers. Who knows what startling wonders are being pointed at by Tabby’s Star?
So how to proceed? Well, looking at the star when there isn’t a dip going on is unlikely to tell us anything more than the background information that we’ve already worked out. So the only way to advance is to catch Tabby’s Star in the middle of a dip.
What I’d most like to see is a good spectrum of Tabby’s Star at mid-dip. The starlight, spread out into fine gradations of color, should tell us about the nature of whatever is producing the occultations. If the occulter is some sort of a dusty cloud, then the dimming will be greatest for blue light and least for red light, with the relative dimming across the colors being in a known and characteristic pattern. If this dust cloud has gas mixed in, then we should also see characteristic absorption lines at known colors, giving us the composition of the gas, and revealing the origin and nature of the cloud. If the light-blocker is solid, then all of the colors will dim by exactly the same amount. And we might even see some emission lines if there is some sort of stellar activity on the primary star. So all it takes is one good spectrum during a dip, and we’ll know the nature of the occulter.
There is a real practical problem here, however as Tabby’s Star has been in dip for only a total of a few weeks out of the four years of observations by Kepler. The dips are chaotic in time, so we cannot predict when any upcoming dip will happen. So the only way to get a spectrum during a dip is to have nearly continuous monitoring of the star’s brightness— and, when it starts to go into a dip, send out a worldwide alert. With such an alert, some observatory somewhere will be able to get a good spectrum within a day or so.
So this problem reduces to monitoring Tabby’s Star continuously, at nearly the hour-by-hour level, until it goes into another dip. That program takes a huge amount of telescope time. This is now only realistic for robotic telescopes spread out around the northern hemisphere.
Fortunately, the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope(LCOGT) network is perfect for the case. LCOGT has wonderful robotic telescopes at four sites in the northern hemisphere (two sites near their headquarters in Santa Barbara California, one on Haleakala in Hawaii, one on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, and one at McDonald Observatory in Texas). With this kind of coverage, Tabby’s Star can be monitored near 24/7 for most of the year.
But it takes money to purchase time on LCOGT. Such a monitoring project does not fit in well with the usual program capabilities of the science support coming from NASA or the National Science Foundation. Government funding has been what has been driving the excellence in American science for many decades. But monitoring Tabby’s Star is a risky proposal, with no guaranteed return, because maybe there won’t be any dips for a long time to come.
So, being a modern person, Tabby has sought alternative, modern funding sources. This has led her to start a Kickstarter campaign. The idea is to crowd-fund the LCOGT monitoring program. She is seeking $100,000 before June 17. (I won’t benefit personally from any contributions, since they won’t fund any of my own research.)
If you want to help solve the mystery of Tabby’s Star. I urge you to consider helping with the Kickstarter program. I’ve already contributed.

Dit ruimteschip kan ons in minder dan 10 jaar naar de rand van het zonnestelsel brengen
Dit ruimteschip kan ons in minder dan 10 jaar naar de rand van het zonnestelsel brengen
Hoewel de wetenschap de warpdrive uit Star Trek mogelijk acht, zullen we in de nabije toekomt waarschijnlijk nog niet kunnen beschikken over een dergelijk apparaat.
De NASA kijkt nu naar alternatieve manieren van aandrijving die ons naar de rand van ons zonnestelsel kunnen brengen. We zouden bijvoorbeeld de zonnewind kunnen gebruiken om een reusachtig zeil voort te stuwen.
Stad
Bruce Wiegmann van het Advanced Concepts Office van de NASA gaat nog een stap verder en heeft een plan bedacht dat rechtstreeks uit een sciencefictionfilm lijkt te komen. Hij heeft een ruimteschip ontworpen met 10 tot 20 elektrisch geladen aluminium draden die zich als enorme tentakels van een kwal uitstrekken rond het ruimteschip.
De draden, die slechts een millimeter dik zijn, stoten lichtdeeltjes af, wat resulteert in aandrijving. Het ontwerp van Wiegmann wordt ook wel een ‘E-sail’ genoemd. Ieder draad zou zo’n 20 kilometer lang moeten zijn, waardoor het ruimteschip ongeveer net zo groot zou worden als een stad.
Risico’s
Het reizen in zo’n schip is niet zonder risico, vertelt professor Thomas Zurbuchen van de Universiteit van Michigan aan de BBC. “De draden zullen nog steeds zwaar zijn omdat ze bestaan uit metaal,” zegt hij. “Als ze worden geraakt door een micrometeoriet zullen ze knappen.”
Het ruimteschip kan ons in slechts 10 jaar naar de rand van het zonnestelsel brengen. Ter vergelijking kostte het Voyager 30 jaar om ons zonnestelsel te doorkruisen. In de jaren 2020 zal het schip naar verwachting voor het eerst worden getoond.
Mysterieuze dreunen in Amerikaans stadje leiden tot theorieën over aliens
Mysterieuze dreunen in Amerikaans stadje leiden tot theorieën over aliens
Mysterieuze dreunen in Californië stellen lokale bewoners voor een raadsel en leiden tot veel complottheorieën. Iedere werkdag is in het stadje tussen 11.00 en 14.00 uur een donderend geluid te horen.
De oorzaak van de mysterieuze dreunen blijft een mysterie. Mogelijke verklaringen lopen uiteen van mijnoperaties tot aliens. Leraar en geoloog Glen White heeft het geluid uitgebreid onderzocht. Hij vertelde aan KXTV-TV dat het geluid volgens hem afkomstig is van bommen en granaten die tot ontploffing worden gebracht.
Niet overtuigd
White denkt dat de explosies afkomstig zijn van een legerdepot buiten Hawthorne in Nevada, op bijna 200 kilometer van Sonora. Op die locatie wordt oude munitie onschadelijk gemaakt. “Ze vernietigen onder meer bommen en granaten,” legde hij uit.
Ken Thomas werkt in het legerdepot en vertelde ABC News dat er geregeld munitie onschadelijk wordt gemaakt, maar hij is er niet van overtuigd dat dat tot in Sonora is te horen.
Mysterie
“Het lijkt me sterk dat wat wij hier doen op meer dan 200 kilometer afstand is te horen,” zei Thomas. “Mijn kantoor bevindt zich op 43 kilometer van de plek waar ze oude munitie tot ontploffing brengen en ik hoor dat misschien eens per maand, heel in de verte.”
Hoewel White denkt het mysterie te hebben opgelost, zegt hij open te staan voor andere theorieën, zolang ze maar worden ondersteund door wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
One of the most mysterious and well-documented UFO landings took place on a farm near Delphos, Kansas on November 2, 1971. Physical evidence was recorded and preserved for analysis by the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO). This case not only left the farm residents scratching their heads, but also left UFO researchers, police, and members of the media dumbfounded by the events.
According to APRO records and several reports written by head UFO physical-trace investigator Ted Phillips, the incident began around 7 p.m., while sixteen-year-old Ronnie Johnson was tending the sheep with his dog. Ronald’s mother remembers calling out to her son to come to dinner, to which Ronnie replied that he would be in soon. At about this time, Ronnie heard a rumbling noise and looked up to see an extremely bright object about seventy-five feet away. The light was so intense that he had trouble making out the texture of the object, but he could make out a short-stemmed mushroom shape. The entire object was illuminated appearing to be a mass of multicolored lights.

Ronnie estimated the object to be nine feet wide and ten feet high. It hovered a couple of feet above the ground, with the bottom of the object appearing to illuminate the brightest. Ronnie described the sound as similar to a washing machine.

Ronnie remembers his dog staying perfectly still and not making a sound, while the sheep were disturbed and bellowing. The animals had lasting effects. For weeks after the incident, the sheep would jump out of their pens. Ronnie’s dog was also afraid of being outside at night and would scratch at the door frantically for several days after the incident.
After watching the object for about five minutes, Ronnie says the light below the object intensified, and it began to lift up. The light was so bright that it began to hurt his eyes. Ronnie’s eyes were irritated for some time after the incident.
The object quickly flew over a nearby shed, avoiding a collision by only a few feet. The rumbling sound changed to a high-pitched jet noise as it flew off.
At this point, Ronnie completely lost his vision, but could still hear the object moving into the distance. After a couple minutes, his vision came back and he could see the light now high in the sky. He heard his mother call him again, and he ran into the house to get his parents. At first they did not believe his story, but eventually went out to take a look. Once outside, they saw a bright light in the sky that was about half the size of the moon and continued to get smaller as it moved away out of view.
APRO investigator Clancy Tull, a lawyer from Kansas City, Missouri, questioned the family and found an interesting disparity in time spans noted by the witnesses. Mrs. Johnson said that, after she had called Ronnie to come in for dinner the first time, her and her husband had leisurely finished their meal before calling Ronnie again—some thirty minutes later. Ronnie could not account for these thirty minutes; to him, it seemed to be only about five minutes.
After the object had left, Ronnie and his parents went to examine the area over which the object had been hovering. They found a glowing ring on the ground and glowing areas on the nearby trees. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson touched the glowing ground and felt numbness in their fingers. Mrs. Johnson tried to wipe the dirt off her fingers onto her leg, which then also felt numb. The numbness in her fingers lasted for several days.

Mrs. Johnson said that the ground felt cool, even while it glowed. She also described the ground as slick and crusty. After touching the ground, Mrs. Johnson ran inside to get her camera. She took a picture of the glowing ground. Mr. Johnson called the local paper, the Delphos Republican.
The next day, Mr. Johnson and Ronnie went to talk to Delphos Republican reporter Thaddia Smith. They told her their story and showed her the picture. Still skeptical, but with a piqued curiosity, she decided to visit the farm. Her husband and son-in-law were also curious, so they accompanied her.
The ring in the ground impressed Smith. She said, “Upon arriving at the scene, I knew instantly that something had left evidence that it had been there.” There had been recent rains, and she noted that the ring area was dry even though the ground in the middle and outside of the ring was muddy. She also observed branches that appeared to have been broken by the object and a tree that she believed was crushed from the take-off or landing of the object.

Back in the office, she called the local weather radar to find out if they had observed any unknown objects, but unfortunately the weather radar had not been on that night. Smith then called a local radio station to inform them of the incident. Finally, Smith called Ottawa County Sheriff Ralph Enlow, who began an investigation.
Researcher Ted Phillips obtained the Sheriff’s report on the incident along with the report that Smith had provided the Sheriff. The Sheriff’s report stated that officers went to the Johnson farm and took statements from the family. The officers observed the ring and noted the dryness of the ground that made up the ring as compared to the ground in the middle and surrounding the ring. They also noted the broken branches and a discoloration of some of the affected trees.
Representatives of the Sheriff’s office said that they checked radiation levels and determined that the ground was not radioactive. They also took soil samples. The soil was described as “almost white in color and very dry.” The Sheriff’s office’s report ended with a note about another sighting seen in the area at the same time as the sighting on the Johnsons’ farm.
Phillips’ investigation into the Delphos landing and the statements issued from the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office and Thaddia Smith were printed in the September 1985 journal of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Phillips reported that, thirty-two days after the event, he went out to conduct his investigation. He called Sheriff Enlow to make him aware of his plans; the Sheriff was waiting for Phillips when he arrived in town. Sheriff Enlow gave Phillips the soil sample and accompanied him out to the Johnsons’ farm.
Upon meeting the Johnsons, Phillips found them to be “very pleasant and calm, not really excited about their unusual experience, but quite curious as what the UFO may have been and what could have produced a ground marking such as the one found at the alleged landing site.” The Johnsons recounted their story and then took Phillips to the landing area.

It had recently snowed in Delphos, Kansas, so the ground was wet and muddy, with areas of standing water. Phillips was amazed to see that the ring was still visible. The snow on the ring had not melted, although the ground in the middle of the ring and surrounding it was wet and muddy. When the snow was moved aside, the ground was dry and light brown. Phillips tried pouring water on the ring, but it would not permit the water to pass through the surface.
Phillips then took samples of the soil, finding a large amount of a white substance that was not in the surrounding soil. He also found that the ground in the ring was dry to a depth of about twelve inches.
Phillips then took a look at the trees in the surrounding area. He found the dead tree that had fallen over and observed that it could have been knocked over during the departure or arrival of an object. He discussed with Sheriff Enlow the possibility that the tree could have been pulled over by vandals, but they both agreed that they would have found evidence of this, such as chain marks on the tree. He also noted the broken branches, which were consistent with Ronnie’s report. If there was an object at the location reported by Ronnie, the object could not have taken-off straight up, because there were branches over the area that were not broken. There were trees to the north and east of the site, which further confirmed that the entrance and departure could only have been the way Ronnie described.
During his second visit to Delphos, Phillips discussed the case further with Sheriff Enlow. The Sheriff said that he didn’t believe the event was a hoax. He went so far as to write Phillips a written statement that in part said, “In reference to the UFO sighting at the Johnson residence near Delphos, Kansas on November 2, 1971. The Johnsons are lifetime residents of Ottawa County and the Delphos community. They are well-known and well-respected by officers from this department. It is the opinion of this Officer that the information given by them would be accurate to the best of their knowledge.”
Sheriff Enlow also commented on the separate sighting report he had received: “In reference to the UFO sighting on November 2, 1971 by Lester Ernsbarger of Minneapolis, Kansas. Mr. Ernsbarger is an employee of the Minneapolis Street Department and a reserve Police Officer with the Minneapolis Police Department. I feel that his information would be accurate to the best of his knowledge.”
Phillips then went to visit Thaddia Smith again. She said that her visit to the Johnsons’ farm took place on the evening of November 3. She said that her and her husband could distinctly see the glowing of the ring. She included in her statement that, “in the area around and inside the circle there was nothing but darkness giving a person an eerie feeling.” She continued, “The Johnson family, having lived in the Delphos Community their entire life, are respected, truthful, conscientious, trustworthy, and a well-thought-of typical hardworking Kansas farm family.”
While the soil analysis failed to reveal any abnormal findings, the white substance had not been identified. UFO researcher and author Jacques Vallee tackled this issue in his book, Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact. There, he noted that white substances had been found in anomalous rings before. He was able to obtain a sample of the soil from the Delphos ring, which he sent to a biological laboratory in France. The substance was determined to be an organic organism related to Actinomycetales, which Vallee describes as “an intermediate organism between bacteria and fungus.” Actinomycetales is often found with a fungus called Basidiomycetes, which can fluoresce under certain circumstances.
Some speculate that the object that landed in Delphos somehow affected the ground so as to accelerate the growth of the Actinomycetales. Others believe that this is evidence of a much more prosaic answer—a natural phenomenon called a “fairy ring,” in which a grove of mushrooms grow in a ring pattern. While skeptics believe that the glowing ring seen on the ground at the Johnsons’ farm was a fairy ring that was present before Ronnie’s sighting. The only problem with this theory is that fairy rings are connected to a fungus called Mycelium, not to Actinomycetales, the organism found in the ground at Delphos.
Professional skeptic Phillip Klass suspected that the Delphos case was a hoax. He believed that the ring in the ground was a result of a water trough used by the sheep that was at the location of the circle for many years. He alleged that years of sheep urinating around the trough was the most likely cause of the circle, and that once the trough was moved, the circle remained.
Because of Ted Phillips’ careful preservation of the soil samples from Delphos, another analysis was performed in 1999 by Phyllis Budinger, a chemist and retired research scientist for BP/Amoco. She found an unusually high concentration of Oxalic acid. Budinger’s report included a possible explanation of the existence of Oxalic acid offered by her colleague, Dr. J. Robert Mooney: “Exhaust from a low temperature ionization or combustion engine (whose fuel source was elemental carbon) could leave a high concentration of the acid along with other lower molecularweight acids.”

I attended the 2010 MUFON Symposium in Denver and, while there, caught up with Dr. Frank Salisbury, who holds a Ph.D in both plant physiology and geochemistry. He was part of a board of scientists, made up largely of APRO consultants, put together by the National Inquirer to determine the most believable UFO cases from a scientific perspective. In 1973, as a result of the scientists’ designation of the Delphos incident as the best UFO case, the National Inquirer awarded the Johnsons five-thousand dollars. Nonetheless, Dr. Salisbury told me that he still believes that it is possible that the Delphos story was a hoax perpetrated solely for the purpose of obtaining the National Inquirer award.
Thirty-nine years later, the Delphos landing is still controversial. It says a lot that the local press and police believed that the incident at the Johnsons’ farm was not a hoax. Delphos remains one of the most interesting alleged UFO landing cases.

125km Alien City Discovered Under Gulf of California, Google Map, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of discovery: July 2016
Location of discovery: Gulf of California, Mexico
Coordinates: 26°38'29.03"N 110°27'0.85"W
This is an amazingly large underwater base in the Gulf of California. It measures over 125 km long (76 miles). The long tubular structures measure 2.4 miles wide (4km). This base is huge and its no wonder why we hear about so many UFO sightings over Mexico. This base is just 45 miles away from the Mexican coast! The chances of this being a intelligently made structure...I put that at 100%. This needs exploring with some RC sub drones. I'm sure anyone could make one or buy one, but making one would be cheaper. This has to be explored guys...it just has to be. It so close, so accessible that it must be investigated closer. Maybe the Discovery channel, History Channel, or Natural Geographic would fund such a mission to make a show.
For example, the Red Planet is so far away that any landing sequences cannot be controlled in real time from Earth. Touchdowns must therefore occur automatically, requiring spacecraft to have a smart computer on board.
Spacecraft have also gotten heavier and heavier over the years, forcing engineers to come up with new ways to get the precious science cargo down through the thin Martian atmosphere. [The Best (And Worst) Mars Landings in History]
The first spacecraft to reach the Red Planet was Mars 2, but it didn't survive the landing. The Soviet probe hit the surface of Mars hard on Nov. 27, 1971 and did not respond to repeated attempts to hail it.
A follow-up mission with the same design, Mars 3, landed successfully on Dec. 2, 1971. Mars 3 sent a signal from the surface, but communications halted abruptly and nobody heard from it again.
The Mars 2 and Mars 3 landers both separated from their orbiting spacecraft at about 28,580 miles (46,000 kilometers) from Mars, according to V.G. Perminov's "The Difficult Road to Mars: A Brief History of Mars Exploration in the Soviet Union," which is available on the NASA website.
After entering the Martian atmosphere, the landers deployed an auxiliary parachute to slow down, then employed a main parachute. The design called for a soft-landing engine to be turned on at 52 feet to 98 feet (16 to 30 meters) above the Martian surface.
The landers would then be severed from the parachute when their descent speed dropped below 14 mph (23 km/h). The landers were supposed to hit the surface at less than 27 mph (43 km/h); a "displacement bag" beneath them would absorb some of the shock. The aeroshell cover over the landers would be jettisoned after hitting the surface using compressed air inside the displacement bag.
Viking 1 was the first NASA craft to make it to the surface of Mars, and its sister Viking 2 followed suit 6 weeks later, on Sept. 3, 1976. The Viking landers both launched with an orbiter. These spacecraft were very successful, transmitting a variety of data back to Earth until the Viking 1 lander died in November 1982.
The design for Viking 1 and 2 called for the landers to separate from their orbiter mates. About 4 miles (6 km) above the surface, the Vikings deployed a parachute and jettisoned their protective aeroshells.
Each spacecraft jettisoned the chute, then fired up onboard retro-rockets at an altitude of about 5,000 feet (1,500 m). The rockets slowed the landers down and made sure they were facing in the right direction. Each landing happened at a speed of about 4.5 mph (7 km/h). [Viking 1: The Historic First Mars Landing in Pictures]
Powered rocket landings were also used for NASA's (unsuccessful) Mars Polar Lander mission in 1999, and the agency's Phoenix polar lander in 2008.
In June 1995, NASA engineers tested multi-lobed air bags designed to protect the Mars Pathfinder spacecraft during its Red Planet landing.

3. Parachutes, retro-rockets and airbags
The airbag landing method has been used for multiple Mars missions, mostly by NASA. Below is a sample sequence from the Mars Exploration Rover (Spirit and Opportunity) mission design, as described by NASA. This technique was sometimes referred to as "six minutes of terror."
After cruising to Mars in a protective shield, the rover separated to head to the surface. It entered the Martian atmosphere and deployed its parachute four minutes later, when it was 30,000 feet (9,100 m) above the surface and travelling at 1,000 mph (1,600 km/h).
Next, the craft jettisoned its heat shield, and the lander separated from the back shell, while still attached to the back shell (and parachute) with a tether. At about 8,000 feet (2,400 m) above the surface, the landing system calculated when to fire retro-rockets to almost stop the descent. Next, airbags would inflate to cushion the spacecraft.
At about 40 feet (12 m) above the surface, the landing speed would be nearly zero. The airbag-shrouded lander was then cut from the back shell and parachute to bounce on the surface, until it rolled to a stop.
Airbags were first pioneered with NASA's Pathfinder mission, which landed on Mars with its rover Sojourner in 1996. The method was so successful that it was used for the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, which landed on Mars in 2004. Spirit died in a sand trap in 2010, while Opportunity is still operating today. Opportunity has traveled farther than any other vehicle on the surface of another world, racking up more than a marathon's worth of miles on its odometer.
Airbags were also used for the European Space Agency's Beagle 2 lander, which touched down in December 2003 but did not return any science data from the surface, and Russia's Mars 96 mission, which failed during its 1996 launch.
NASA had to devise a new landing method for its car-size Curiosity rover, which weighed 1 ton here on Earth — far more than any previous Red Planet surface craft. So agency engineers came up with the "sky crane" strategy, also known as "seven minutes of terror."
Like Martian landers before it, Curiosity used a parachute to slow down its descent after hitting the Martian atmosphere. The parachute was about 10 percent larger than Spirit and Opportunity's parachutes, because Curiosity is so much heavier.
After the parachute slowed Curiosity down, the rocket-powered descent stage (sky crane) separated from the backshell. Four engines on the descent stage further slowed the descent while a tether lowered the rover to the ground. When the computer sensed the rover had achieved touchdown, it cut the tether. The sky crane then flew off and crash-landed on the surface a safe distance away.
This incredibly complex maneuver worked perfectly during Curiosity's highly anticipated August 2012 touchdown. So NASA will use a similar design for its upcoming Mars 2020 rover, which should reach the Red Planet's surface in 2021. A brief summary of the sequence is available on the NASA website.
Mars Myths & Misconceptions
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.
5. Penetrators
While penetrators haven't been successfully demonstrated on Mars yet, they are a method for smaller and less delicate spacecraft to hit the surface and burrow inside. Penetrators were carried on the Russian Mars 96 mission and NASA's Mars Polar Lander (MPL) mission, neither of which made it safely to the Red Planet's surface.
On MPL, the penetrators were together called Deep Space 2 and nicknamed Scott and Amundsen, after famous explorers of Earth's polar regions.According to NASA, the penetrators were supposed to separate from MPL during the landing sequence and impact the surface at 357 mph to 447 mph (575 to 719 km/h). A protective shell would shatter upon landing, and the probes would burrow up to 3.3 feet (1 m) below the surface. The probes never communicated with NASA, for reasons that remain unknown.
Claims UFO investigators are being killed by ‘men in black’ after latest ‘mystery death’
Claims UFO investigators are being killed by ‘men in black’ after latest ‘mystery death’
EXTRAORDINARY claims have been made that UFO investigators are being killed by so-called men in black have been made after the mysterious death of a 32-year-old newly married alien researcher.
Gaurav Tiwari was found at his Dwarka flat in northwestern India under what has been reported as “mysterious circumstances”.It has led to new claims that as many as “dozens” of other UFO investigators have died in suspicious circumstances over the years.The Times of India reported that Mr Tiwari’s death was treated as suicide.But relatives say as a newlywed he had no reason to end his life and that he seemed normal in the run up to his death.
According to father, Uday Tiwari, he was drinking coffee with his wife when there was a loud thud from the bathroom.
They found him unresponsive on the floor and he could not be revived.
Police said a black line was found around his neck, leading to a conclusion of asphyxia.
Another theory was he fell hitting his head and inflicting a fatal wound.
An autopsy is due, with an inquest, also being awaited.
Mr Tiwari senior, did however, reveal that his son told his wife weeks before his death “a negative force was pulling him towards it.”
The grieving dad said: “We don’t believe in ghosts etc, but his death has left us shocked and puzzled.”
His son had founded the Indian Paranormal Society, and took part in regular TV shows.
It is claimed mysterious “men in black” are behind UFO expert deaths.He also investigated thousands of haunted sites,Conspiracy theorists have already moved to connect the tragedy to a series of other deaths of UFO researchers both explained and unexplained.Professor G Cope Schellhorn has posted a list of allegedly suspicious deaths of UFO researchers at Metatech.org.He says more than five dozen UFO researchers, investigators, authors, alien contactees and military personnel have died of heart attacks, sudden onset of cancers, and supposed suicides.
His list followed that of a special investigative piece on UFOs in Saga magazine in 1971 when author and comic legend Otto Binder chronicled the “suspicious” deaths of 137 UFO investigators in the previous 10 years.
Opinions are split within ufology on the substance of these claims, with only hardcore conspiracy theorists believing secret men in black working for government agencies like the CIA are actually bumping people off.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said these sorts of claims predated 1971.
He said: “Deaths related to UFOs go right back to when Kenneth Arnold first saw a fleet of UFOs in June 1947 and brought about a worldwide wave of ‘flying saucer’ sightings. A bizarre set of tragic circumstances surrounded the so-called Maury Island case.
“This involved the sighting of six doughnut shaped UFOs by Harold Dahl, that dropped hot slag like material onto his boat, burning his arm and killing his dog in the process. The next day his employer, Fred Lee Crisman, visited Maury Island where he found tons of debris and saw another UFO in the area.”
Kenneth Arnold was called in to investigate the sighting, and feeling out of his depth he invited two Air Force Intelligence agents, Captain Davidson and Lieutenant Brown to help him interview the witnesses.
They weren’t impressed with the validity of the sighting, but took away samples of the debris for analysis.
As they were returning to their base at Hamilton Field, California, the port engine of their B-25 aircraft caught fire and they were killed when he crashed near Kelso, Washington State.
An anonymous caller to the local newspaper, named the victims before the crash was made public and claimed the aircraft was shot down by a 20mm cannon because it was carrying fragments of a flying saucer.
Two men and a dog had been killed, and Kenneth Arnold was nearly added to the list. When he took off from Tacoma, his engine failed and he had to make a crash landing.
On checking his aircraft, he found that his fuel valve had been switched off.
Paul Lance, a reporter for the Tacoma Times, who covered this story, died suddenly two weeks later of meningitis.
Mr Watson added: “Ufologists today now think this was an elaborate hoax that got out of hand, and could have been instigated by a US intelligence agency to discredit Kenneth Arnold’s original sighting.
“The story gets even more complicated when we consider that Fred Lee Crisman in October 1968 was subpoenaed to go before the Grand Jury in charge of investigating the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
“District Attorney Jim Garrison’s enquiry thought he resembled one of the three tramps arrested near Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas, on the day of the assassination and believed he was a long-standing CIA employee.
“Furthermore, according to UFO conspiracy theory, the CIA killed President Kennedy because he wanted to share UFO secrets with the Soviet Union.
“In addition, Marilyn Monroe was allegedly murdered because she was speaking too freely about UFOs.
“The night before her death she had spoken to the TV celebrity columnist Dorothy Kilgallen about the Roswell saucer crash of 1947.
“Kilgallen subsequently died under mysterious circumstances on 8 November 1965.
“This shows how these various deaths can be woven together to support the idea that the truth about UFOs and alien visitations is being suppressed and discredited.”
Mr Watson said many of these cases could be coincidences or people trying to make something out of nothing. He added: “There are certainly some strange incidents, for example, UFO researcher Philip Schneider’s became increasingly fearful for his personal safety; ‘government vans’ followed him and several attempts were made to run his car off the road.
“Eventually, his worst fears were confirmed in January 1996. A friend broke into his apartment in Willsonville, Oregon, where his dead body had been rotting for several days.
“At first, it was thought he had died from a stroke, and then an autopsy found that rubber tubing had been wrapped and knotted around his neck.”
The official verdict was suicide but his former wife, Cynthia, and several friends could not accept this.
He was found with his legs under his bed and his head resting on the seat of his wheelchair – an unusual position for a suicide – and there was blood nearby that did not seem to be Schneider’s.
His lecture material and UFO writings were missing from the apartment, yet valuables had gone untouched.
But Mr Watson is not convinced UFO researchers are repeatedly being bumped off.
He added: “Government agencies could be at work but it seems very extreme to murder people, especially over decades, when there are easier ways to discredit UFO researchers.
“Another theory is that mysterious Men in Black and the aliens themselves are behind these murders to eliminate anyone who gets to close to the truth about their operations.”
The first signs of a particle heavier than the Higgs boson was seen at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back in December.
Unexplained by current models, its existence might lead to the discovery of a whole new set of particles and possibly even a fifth fundamental force.
The first results were not enough to confirm the particle exists, but now the new particle could be confirmed within the next few weeks.
Two of the detectors, ATLAS and CMS, were counting particle decays that ended up in two photons, and found a potential new particle. If it turns out to be real, and not a blip, this would be a huge discovery. Two high-energy photons whose energy, shown in red, was measured in the CMS is illustrated
THE ELUSIVE PARTICLE
Two of the detectors at the Large Hadron Collider - ATLAS and CMS - were searching for new kinds of physics by counting particle decays that ended up in two photons.
Measuring photons is a way of detecting new and unknown events because photons are easy to detect and physicists know what to expect in terms of results from background events.
When particles decay into photons, they release energy equivalent to their mass multiplied by the speed of light squared.
The measurements saw photons with a combined energy of 750 GeV, making the potential particle six times heavier than the Higgs boson.
If it turns out to be real, and not just a blip in the measurements, this would be a huge discovery.
'It would be something completely beyond the Standard Model, and the tip of an iceberg of a large new set of particles, if it exists!', the researchers said.
In data produced last December at the LHC in Geneva, two separate measurements found what looked like a particle six time heavier than the Higgs boson.
If it turns out to be real, and not just a blip in the measurements, this would be a huge discovery.
'We should have enough data by mid-July to either confirm the result or place serious doubt on its existence,' Professor James Olsen, CMS physics coordinator and a physicist at Princeton, told MailOnline.
'The CMS plan is to have an updated result using the 2016 data by the ICHEP conference in Chicago (starting Aug 3), although this timescale could be accelerated if the LHC outperforms expectations.'
According to Dr Michele Redi. a research scientist at INFN Florence, writing in Scientific American, the hints of the new particle might be confirmed 'within just a few weeks, or possibly even within days.'
'If the bump is real, we are about to start writing a whole new chapter in the history of fundamental physics,' Dr Redi said.
'It is impossible to imagine where this could lead.
'We could know the answer very, very soon.'
'The LHC is in good shape, therefore delivering collisions and new data to the experiments,' a spokeman from CERN told MailOnline.
'It is clear that the ATLAS and CMS collaborations plan to analyze these data in preparation for the big conference of the year - ICHEP 2016 Chicago - early August - so in case they have enough data and there is something new, it should be known by then or just before.
'I would say it will still take a few weeks before we can provide an update about "the bump" as analyzing the data requires some careful work.'
'It would be something completely beyond the Standard Model, and the tip of an iceberg of a large new set of particles,' Professor John Ellis, theoretical physicist at Kings College London told MailOnline, 'if it exists!'

They both separately saw photons with a combined energy of 750 GeV.
When particles decay into photons, they release energy equivalent to their mass multiplied by the speed of light squared.
We’re all familiar with Einstein’s most famous equation, and this observation is it in action. This means the particle that produced these photons is an as yet unknown with this exact amount of energy in the form of its mass.
‘It weighs about 750 GeV, corresponding to about six times heavier than the Higgs boson, and almost 800 times heavier than the proton,’ said Ellis.
It was a similar 'bump' that gave the first hints to the Higgs boson.
But the difference now is that the existence of the Higgs boson had already been predicted.
This new particle, if it exists, has not been predicted by the Standard Model, so would open up physicists to a whole new unexplored world and could lead to the discovery of a new set of particles.
In December last year the two observations, in the ATLAS and CMS detectors, hinted at a new particle six times heavier than the Higgs boson. The LHC will start making more collisions next month, April 2016, and experts can expect confirmation or refutation in the summer

The Standard Model claims everything in the universe is made from the most basic building blocks called fundamental particles, that are governed by four forces: gravity, electromagnetic, weak nuclear and strong nuclear.
The forces work over different ranges and have different strengths.
This new particle, if it exists, would not fit into the description given by the Standard Model and so would lead to a whole new area of particle physics for them to explore.
Some have suggested it might even lead to the discovery of a fifth fundamental force.
'This is possible, but there must at least be a set of unknown particles to explain how this new particle decays, and probably how it is produced,' said Ellis.
This development is exciting because the Standard Model has left some questions unanswered for years, so scientists are keen to break free of it and find new theories.
It can't explain gravity, for example, because it is incompatible with our best explanation of how gravity works - general relativity, nor does it explain dark matter particles.
STANDARD MODEL OF PARTICLE PHYSICS AND WHY THE FIND IS SO EXCITING
The Standard Model says everything in the universe is made from the most basic building blocks called fundamental particles, that are governed by four forces: gravity, electromagnetic, weak nuclear and strong nuclear.
The Higgs boson, named after professor Higgs, shown, was discovered in 2012 and is an essential component of the Standard Model

It can't explain gravity, for example, because it is incompatible with our best explanation of how gravity works - general relativity, nor does it explain dark matter particles.
The quantum theory used to describe the small particles in the world, and the general theory of relativity used to describe the larger objects world, are also difficult to reconcile. Nobody has managed to make the two mathematically compatible in the context of the Standard Model.
According to the Big Bang theory, matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts at the start of the universe and so they should have annihilated each other totally in the first second or so of the universe's existence.
This means the cosmos should be full of light and little else.
But because it isn't there must have been a subtle difference in the physics of matter and anti-matter that has left the universe with a surplus of matter and that makes up the stars we see, the planet we live on and ourselves.
But the observations seen so far are not enough to confirm the existence of a particle.

The detectors saw photons with a combined energy of 750 GeV. When particles decay into photons they release energy equivalent to their mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. This means the particle that decayed into them would have been about six times heavier than the Higgs boson
But the observations seen so far are not enough to confirm the existence of a particle.
The CERN physicists need to make sure the observations were not just down to chance, so it comes down to collecting much more data and waiting to see if the particle is spotted again.
Some remain unconvinced.
'Indeed, I don't see yet statistically convincing bumps that would point to the existence of a new particle in the LHC data,' Professor Patrick Janot, working on the CMS detector at CERN told MailOnline.
The LHC started making more collisions in April, and the results that might confirm or refute the existence of this particle could be available soon.
'You will hear solid statements in summer,' Professor Janot said back in March, 'when a lot more data than in 2015 are accumulated at 13 TeV.'
A massive X-shaped structure made of stars was spotted at the heart of the Milky Way, which could give scientists new insight into how the galaxy was formed.
X MARKS THE SPOT
A tweet posted by astronomer Dustin Lang from the University of Toronto led to scientists investigating a three-dimensional bulge at the heart of the Milky Way’s flat structure.
“The bulge is a key signature of formation of the Milky Way,” Melissa Ness, a post doctoral researcher from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany notes. “If we understand the bulge we will understand the key processes that have formed and shaped our galaxy.”
The bulge is evidence that no other major astronomical event since the Milky Way was formed has taken place—otherwise, the distinctive ‘X’ shape would not have been maintained. And its discovery could possibly spur a deeper understanding of how the galaxy was formed.
“The X-shape morphology of the bulge in itself and the fraction of bulge stars that comprise orbits within this structure has important implications for the formation history of the Milky Way … and spiral galaxies in general,” Ness and Lang published in a paper.
Other scientists, such as Luke Davies of the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research, are quick to point out that while the data was “reasonably compelling;” however, at the present time, the pair working on it hasn’t really done anything to truly study the X-shaped structure.
To that end, this is just “the first evidence we have for it, and there should be lots more detailed observations to confirm it before you say it’s irrefutable,”as Davies adds
He does however, agree that the existence of such an X-shaped structure would indeed tell us all about how the Milky Way galaxy was formed.
Former Minister of Defense: World leaders are COVERING UP evidence of Alien Visitations
Former Minister of Defense: World leaders are COVERING UP evidence of Alien Visitations
According to Former Canadian Minister of Defense, not only are governments around the globe COVERING up evidence that aliens exist, there are 80 Alien species that have been visited our planet since time immemorial.
Former Canadian Minister of Defense Paul Hellyer stated that media around the globe has avoided touching the UFO/Extraterrestrial subject.
Paul Hellyer is just one of the many ex-officials, including former NASA employees, military officers, or scientists who have come forward in the last years claiming to have seen proof of Alien visitations to Earth.
Paul Hellyer was the Canadian Minister of National Defense in the 1960 and is responsible for combining the Canadian Air Force, Navy, and Army into what is known today as the Canadian Forces.
Interestingly, he is yet another highly ranked government official who has come forward speaking out about Alien visitations on Earth.
Soon after he retired, Mr. Hellyer joined the disclosure movement and began ‘blowing the whistle’ on UFO’s and extraterrestrial beings.
Interestingly, his testimony is BACKED UP by hundreds of different highly ranking military official political leaders around the globe. However, in addition to that, everything Mr. Hellyer has talked about in the past has been backed up by countless declassified documents which detailedly describe aliens and their space vehicles.
During one speech, Mr. Hellyer recalls the following:
” In one of the cases during the cold war, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying South from Russia across Europe. The supreme allied commander was very concerned and was about ready to press the panic button when they turned around and went back to the North Pole. They decided to do an investigation, and they investigated for three years, and they decided that with absolute certainty that four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands of years. There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb. They are very concerned about that and if we will use it again because the whole cosmos is a unity and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos. They’re very much afraid that we might start using atomic weapons again, and this would be dangerous for us, and them also.” – Paul Hellyer
“Many are benign and benevolent, and a few are not. They come from various places, for a long while I only knew about ones that came from different star systems, the Pleiades. There are extraterrestrials that come from Andromeda, and ones that live on one of Saturn’s moons. There is a federation of these people, and they have rules, one of them is that they don’t interfere with our affairs unless they are invited. They have accepted the fact that this is our planet, and we have the right to run it, but they are very concerned, they don’t think that we are good stewards of our planet. We are ruining our planet, we’re doing all sorts of things that we shouldn’t be doing, and they don’t like that. They’ve made it clear, and they have given us a warning.” – Paul Hellyer
“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. It is ironic that the US should be fighting monstrously expensive wars, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” – Paul Hellyer
In an interview with CTV, Mr. Hellyer said that: “Much of the media won’t touch it. “So you just have to keep working away and hope that someday you get a critical mass, and they will say, in one way or another, ‘Mr. President or Mr. Prime Minister, we want the truth, and we want it now because it affects our lives.”
Around 80 different species of extraterrestrial beings are visiting our planet. Mr. Hellyer claims that most of the alien visitors are harmless, but some of them have ulterior goals.
During an interview with Russian television, Mr. Hellyer said that some of the Aliens “look just like us, and they could walk down the street, and you wouldn’t know if you walked past one.”

(VIDEO) Government Chief’s Death Bed Confession: ‘I was shown inside alien UFO at Area 51’
Yet another former government official has made confessions about Aliens and UFOs. In the last couple of years countless highly ranked officials have come forward with information detailing alien visitations and extraterrestrial spacecraft.
A newly surfaced report states that the former government emergency expert detailedly described the interior of an alien flying saucer inside the tops Secret Area 51 Military Base in the United States.
According to Paul Hellyer, the former Canadian Minister of Defense a former Canadian Chief of Emergency Mesures released ASTONISHING details of alien crafts before his death.
Mr. Hellyer, who is 92, revealed the details to a panel of the world’s most prestigious UFO investigators.
During a speaking at the “Hearing on ET Disclosure” in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, Mr. Hellyer said that if HE wanted to find out more about the workings of an Alien Space Craft hew would as the ‘current chief of emergency measures.’
Not long ago, Paul Hellyer –who was the Canadian Minister of National Defense in the 1960’s during the cold war— said in an interview that “AT LEAST 4 KNOWN ALIEN SPECIES HAVE BEEN VISITING EARTH FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.”
Paul Hellyer is the highest ranking person among all g8 countries to speak openly about UFOs and extraterrestrials.
“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. It is ironic that the US should be fighting monstrously expensive wars, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” – Paul Hellyer
Mr. Hellyer claims to have seen proof of Alien visitations while in office said that: “The reason I know is I interviewed the previous one, who is now deceased, and he went Langley and the CIA asked if he would like to see one of these crafts.
“They flew him to Area 51 and let him go inside one and observe it and make notes and this sort of thing.”
For years numerous conspiracy theories have revolved around Area 51 which was only confirmed to exist by the government in 2013.
Mr Hellyer added: “I guess Presumably, it was to be in better to cops with it if one crashed here and he was involved in trying to do something positive about it.
“But before he was allowed to go had to go he had to sign an oath of secrecy and not tell anyone, and during his life he didn’t tell anyone including his wife, and an Air Force buddy phoned me, and he was dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease and at that point he felt he should tell someone.
“I phoned him, and he gave me a full report of what he saw and the whole idea of the inside of the craft and this sort of thing, and the fact he had been in a brief and many things, but now he felt he could tell somebody, and he thought that would be a good one to tell.”

Fascinating Video reveals an Alien presence on the Moon
Is there something ‘alien’ to our Moon? Has mankind landed on the moon as NASA claims? And if so, why have we not been there ever since? Why did NASA stop at Apollo 17? It is well known that the space agency had numerous missions planned after Apollo 17 but strangely decided to abruptly terminate the Apollo Program. Is there evidence of an alien presence on the moon? This fascinating video investigates all possibilities.
Is it because there is an alien presence on the moon? Are there alien structure on the lunar surface that were encountered by NASA astronauts during the Apollo missions? Is it possible that the many conspiracy theories about the moon are in fact more than just a conspiracy?
It is well known that many highly ranked officers, government official and even former astronauts have spoken out about the anomalies on the moon. Millions of people around the globe firmly believe there are countless Alien Lunar bases on the surface of Earth’s moon, and evidence of that are the countless images leaked in recent years.
But perhaps one of the most fascinating things that ‘proves’ there is an alien presence on the moon are the comments made by Dr. John Brandenburg. Dr. John Brandenburg, who has a Ph.D. in Plasma Physics, and a consultant at Morningstar Applied Physics LLC, and part-time instructor of Astronomy, Physics, and Mathematics at Madison College has given what some are calling ‘substantial evidence’ of alien life present in our solar system.
According to Dr. Brandenburg:
“It was (the Clementine Mission) a photo reconnaissance mission basically to check out if someone was building bases on the moon that we didn’t know about. Were they expanding them?”
“Of all the pictures I’ve seen from the moon that show possible structures, the most impressive is an image of a mile 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.”
Dr. Brandenburg additionally stated that once the Clementine mission was completed, the images taken from the moon were analyzed by ‘an elite department team with the highest security clearance’:
“… They basically kept to themselves and just did their work, and we were told not to interfere with them…”
Interestingly, Brandenburg was also quoted saying:
“We were aware there was a possibility of an unknown presence, possibly alien/extraterrestrial near the Earth…”
Brandenburg recounted one occasion:
“…There I am sitting in a room of retired army and air force generals and a few admirals, and we’re watching what looks like a firefight in space. The most senior general there … turned to me and said, “Where do you think they’re from?” and I said, “I don’t know sir, I’ve heard they’re from 40 light years from here.”
But in addition to the comments made by Dr. Brandenburg, there are many other substantial pieces of evidence that link advanced extraterrestrial civilizations to Earth’s moon.
This fascinating documentary tackles all of these questions and tries to get to the bottom of the numerous mysteries surrounding Earth’s moon.
Is there a possibility that there are alien structures on the moon? Are the numerous ‘domes’, ‘antennas’ and ‘towers’ seen ni countless images of the moon the product of pareidolia? Or are these structures artificial buildings created by a highly advanced alien race that visited Earth’s moon hundreds, or even thousands of years ago?
Dr. Brian O’Leary, Former NASA Astronaut, and Princeton Physics Professor was quoted saying:
“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time…”
Perhaps the ultimate evidence of these alien civilizations can be found on the moon. Check out the documentary and let us know what you think!
Blue Book Unknown: Multiple-Witness UFO Sightings in Oregon and Washington on July 4, 1947
Blue Book Unknown: Multiple-Witness UFO Sightings in Oregon and Washington on July 4, 1947
One of the first multiple-witness sighting cases investigated by the U.S. Air Force’s Project Blue Book, and determined to be an “unknown,” began with sightings by police officers in Oregon and Washington on July 4, 1947. The case was broken up into multiple incidents, even though they were all lumped together into one Blue Book case file. The Blue Book report included an article from the Oregon Journal that detailed the sightings, and included testimony of several other witnesses.

Incident #5: Portland, Oregon
The sightings began at approximately 1:05 p.m. on July 4, 1947. It was a clear, warm day with very few clouds. City of Portland police officer Kenneth McDowell was feeding pigeons in the parking lot in the back of the police precinct when the pigeons began to get excited about something and flew off. He looked around to see what was going on and spotted five large flying discs in the sky east of Portland. Two were flying south, and the other three were heading east. He said that he could not make out their color, but that they were flying very fast and “dipping up and down in an oscillating motion.” He was unsure of the objects’ speed or altitude; they moved so quickly that they were out of sight within a few seconds. He immediately notified police dispatch, and they sent out an alert.
Incident #6: Milwaukie, Oregon
At the same time as Kenneth McDowell’s sighting, Oregon State Police Sergeant Claude Cross said he also saw three discs following each other and moving very quickly over the skies of Milwaukie, Oregon, which is just south of Portland.
Incident #7: Portland, Oregon
Portland police patrolman Earl Patterson, a former air corps pilot, heard a radio alert about the object and stopped to take a look. He also spotted one of the objects, which was moving very fast. The Blue Book report noted that the object was moving “[f]aster than any speed witness had ever seen.” It moved southeast over Portland and made a ninety degree turn without difficulty. Patterson suspected it was a remote-controlled object and described the object as an aluminum disc or possibly having an eggshell white color. He also said that the object didn’t reflect any light. He estimated the object was flying at 30,000 feet in altitude.

Incident #8: Portland, Oregon
At the same time as Patterson’s sighting, City of Portland Police patrolmen Walter Lissy and Robert Ellis had stopped their car and spotted three flat, round, white discs flying at approximately 40,000 feet and moving very quickly. Lissy said the objects were in a “straight line formation except the last disc fluttered very rapidly in a sideways arc.” The Blue Book report noted that both Lissy and Ellis were WWII veterans, private pilots, and considered highly dependable and trustworthy. The Oregon Journal indicated this may have been the first sighting of the 1947 Oregon/Washington events, but the Blue Book report listed the Patterson sighting as the first.
Incident #12: Vancouver, Washington
In nearby Vancouver, Washington, Clark County Sherriff’s deputies John Sullivan, Clarence McKay, and Fred Krives heard the report from the Portland police over the radio and ran outside to look at the sky. They say they saw twenty to thirty objects in a V-shaped formation, five miles away over Portland. Sullivan said they looked like a flight of geese, but that he heard a low humming sound.

The Oregon Journal Witnesses
The article in the Oregon Journal included more witnesses to the UFOs seen on that day. The article identified members of the harbor patrol who heard the police alert and also stepped out to take a look. They also saw the objects moving at a great speed and said they seemed to be flashing, which hampered the witnesses’ ability to make out their shapes. According to the article, harbor pilot captain K.A. Prahn said, “The disks would oscillate and sometimes we would see a full disk, then a half-moon shape, then nothing at all. The objects looked more like shiny chrome hub caps off a car which wobbled, disappeared and reappeared.”
The harbor patrol witnesses said they saw an airplane in the sky at the same time, but they were adamant that these other objects were not planes.
The Oregon Journal also mentioned similar objects spotted by the crew of a United Airlines flight over Boise, Idaho later the same day. The article said that the pilot told United Press that the objects were “thin and smooth on the bottom and rough appearing on the top.” He said that the crew saw the objects clearly at around 8 p.m. They followed the objects for 45 miles before they disappeared.
Another witness, Seattle-based U.S. Coast Guard officer Frank Ryman, also spoke with United Press and said he took a photograph of one of the objects. Ryman saw the object from the porch of his home and described it as a “white saucer” flying over the north end of Seattle’s Lake Washington. His photograph was analyzed, but all that could be seen was a tiny white dot.
The last witness was an amusement park employee. He claimed he saw several objects that looked “like spinning disks.” He said that several people had seen the object along with him, including a female pilot.
Blue Book Evaluation
Dr. J. Allen Hynek
The Blue Book report noted, “There is no astronomical explanation for this incident, nor for numerous others which occurred in and near Portland on the Fourth of July, 1947.” It also recognized the similarities in the reports, such as the “terrific” speed of the craft, their round shape, abrupt movements, and quick disappearance.
Although the investigator said he could not offer any definitive hypothesis as to what the objects were, he noted that because it was the Fourth of July it is possible that small pieces of aluminum-looking objects were dropped by a plane in a celebration. If that was the case, the investigator wrote, the pieces of aluminum would appear to flutter and give the illusion of being a fast moving disc. Still, he commented, “The above is not to be regarded as a very likely explanation but only a possibility.”
Even though the U.S. Air Force officially labeled this case an “unknown,” consulting scientist, J. Allen Hynek did not agree. He seemed to be partial to the investigator’s speculation. He listed this case in his file of “non-astronomical” incidents, specifically associating the events with possible rockets, flares, or falling bodies.

HOREN SIGAARVORMIGE UFO'S BIJ GEHEIME RUIMTEVLOOT? ( VIDEO )
HOREN SIGAARVORMIGE UFO'S BIJ GEHEIME RUIMTEVLOOT? ( VIDEO )
Waar in de burgerluchtvaart de Boeing 737 als een soort werkpaard functioneert, is er in de ruimte de sigaarvormige UFO.
Ook de afgelopen weken werden deze weer waargenomen bij de Popocatépetl vulkaan in Mexico, maar je ziet ze ook op Mars en bij het ISS ruimtestation.
Sinds de Engelse hacker Gary McKinnon binnendrong bij de computers van het Pentagon en NASA weten we zeker dat ook aardlingen zich bezighouden met een geheime ruimtevloot. Er hierbij vanuit gaand dat de informatie klopt.
Heeft Gary gevonden wat hij zocht? Ja, want hij zegt zelf dat hij foto’s, film en ander bewijs heeft gevonden van geheime ruimtevaartuigen in het bezit van diverse Amerikaanse overheidsinstanties. In een computer van NASA ontdekte hij een hoge resolutiefoto van een groot sigaarvormig ruimteschip boven het Noordelijk Halfrond.
In Amerikaanse overheidscomputers vond hij een lijst met namen van officieren met de titel “niet aardse officieren”. Volgens McKinnon kan dit betekenen dat dit officieren zijn die niet op aarde zijn gestationeerd, maar elders in de ruimte. Ook vond hij een lijst met namen van schepen en transfers van officieren van en naar deze schepen. De namen van de schepen komen nergens anders voor, ook niet bij de Marine, dus denkt Gary dat dit een soort ruimteschepen zijn waarvan niemand het bestaan kent.
Er zijn nog talloze andere aanwijzingen dat de rijke elite in het geheim beschikt over een ruimtevloot die al jarenlang naar andere planeten pendelen.
Wanneer dat zo is, dan zouden de vele sigaarvormige UFO’s die regelmatig worden waargenomen wel eens onderdeel kunnen uitmaken van die geheime ruimtevloot.
De volgende opnames werden de afgelopen weken gemaakt bij de befaamde Popocatépetl vulkaan in Mexico.
De eerste is gemaakt met de normale, daar permanent aanwezige webcam en de volgende twee zijn afbeeldingen gemaakt door een infraroodcamera.
In de volgende video zijn meer opnames te zien die de afgelopen weken zijn gemaakt rondom de Popocatépetl vulkaan en ook van nog een andere, eveneens in Mexico.
Hierna volgt een deel uit een eerder artikel, waarbij sigaarvormige UFO’s te zien zijn op Mars, bij het ruimtestation ISS en een door de Russen gemaakte opname van een dergelijke UFO bij Phobos, één van de manen van Mars.
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".
BUITENAARDSE BOODSCHAPPEN IN GRAANCIRKELS ( VIDEO )
BUITENAARDSE BOODSCHAPPEN IN GRAANCIRKELS ( VIDEO )
Gedurende de afgelopen week zijn er enkele fascinerende graancirkels gemaakt in het Engelse landschap.
Graancirkels die erop lijken te wijzen dat buitenaardsen ons een boodschap willen doorgeven.
In de loop der jaren waren natuurlijk al de meest fantastische ontwerpen zichtbaar in graancirkels.
Al vele jaren kent de wereld het fenomeen graancirkels en nog steeds is er niet één logische verklaring over het ontstaan van deze soms prachtige en ingewikkelde formaties.
Natuurlijk zijn er altijd mensen die zeggen dat graancirkels worden gemaakt door een stel grappenmakers die met wat plankjes onder de voeten een graanveld inlopen, maar ontwerpen zoals de volgende zie je ze niet maken.
De volgende graancirkel is ontdekt bij Reigate Hill in de buurt van Reigate in het Engelse graafschap Surrey op 19 juli 2016.
De afbeelding laat niets te wensen over aan duidelijkheid en wat we hier zien, is het gezicht van de alom bekende Gray alien.
Dan iets merkwaardigs, want een dag later op 20 juli 2016 wordt er een graancirkel gevonden bij Burderop Down, in de buurt van Barbury Castle in het Engelse graafschap Wiltshire.
Hier is duidelijk een soort gecodeerde boodschap te ontwaren. Of deze afkomstig is van dezelfde entiteit die de vorige graancirkel maakte van de Gray alien is niet duidelijk.
Het zou natuurlijk heel goed mogelijk zijn dat de Gray aliens via de tweede graancirkel een bepaalde boodschap willen doorgeven aan de mensheid.
Omdat de graancirkel vrij nieuw is, zijn er nog niet zo gek veel mensen mee bezig geweest, dus bij deze een uitdaging voor de lezers van deze website om te proberen de code van de volgende graancirkel te breken.
Eventuele oplossingen van het raadsel kunnen naar redactie(apenstaart)niburu.co worden gestuurd.
Navolgend een recente video over onderzoek naar verbanden tussen verschillende graancirkels. Een aanrader!
This UFO was caught by a 13 year old boy over Ayr Harbour last Sunday. Its shaky and its short, but consider it was taken by a kid. News calls this an Chinook helicopter, but as you can see from the close up, thats ridiculously wrong. This is a UFO and it has three long arms coming out of it on the right side. Its shape is like that of a barrel. We finally get some close up photos of one of those UFOs over the UK. Very rare, and the report is directly from the city it happened in. This cannot be debunked. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Scottish News states: Jamie Cooper, 33, claims that the unidentified object was spotted by his 13-year-old son James hanging over Ayr Harbour for around 15 minutes at 5.30pm on Sunday. In the shaky 28-second clip a black entity, which resembles a chinook helicopter, is clearly seen hovering in the distance. The dad-of-one, from Ayr, Scotland, said teen James sent him the footage after visiting the grocery store and was concerned by what it could be. Jamie said: “James was walking home when he took the footage on Sunday, and sent it to me through Whatsapp. “I have never seen anything like this before.”

Astronaut Preaches Gospel As UFO Visits Space Station, July 19, 2016, UFO Sightings Daily.
Date of sighting: July 19, 2016 Location of sighting: Space Station, Earths orbit. I just recorded this and its really amazing. A UFO appears outside the space station on live cam, just as the astronaut was preaching the gospel to ground control. I know...has to be a coincidence right? But is it? Or is it a sign from God? All I know is earlier in the recording they said that Dragon module will dock tomorrow with the space station, so we know this is not the Dragon module. Also this UFO just appears out of thin air, then disappears, as if it were a sign from angelic beings sending a message to this religious astronaut as a thank you. It really looks to me that this was the answer to his prayers. Jump to 2:15 into the video to hear him say "gospel." Also I recorded ground control saying "we will pray for you." And the astronaut saying "you guys are in my prayers too." Very odd, never heard religious talk before from NASA or from astronauts. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Ancient Aliens – The Next Humans History Channel, Season 11, Episode 3 6th May 2016
In the 21st century, technology is heading in a radical new direction–the merging of man and machine. Smart drugs, nanorobots, and machine-printed organs are just a few of the cutting-edge innovations catalyzing the evolution of humankind into an entirely new species. Transhumanists envision a future in which we become cyborgs, achieving far superior intelligence, the ability to survive beyond Earth’s atmosphere without a spacesuit, and the possibility of immortality. But might similarly superhuman beings have walked the Earth once before? Beings that our ancestors regarded as gods? Ancient Astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest that we are simply following the course they set us on from the very beginning of mankind–to transcend our flesh and become like our extraterrestrialcreators.
Alien Hunters Link Giant Pyramid Structure Discovery Deep Under The Pacific Ocean With UFO
Alien Hunters Link Giant Pyramid Structure Discovery Deep Under The Pacific Ocean With UFO
Stories on secrets hidden at the bottom of the sea are not something new, but this one is a little bit different and may be bigger than most of them.
Alien hunters say they have discovered a perfect pyramid deep down the Pacific Ocean.
Based on the image on Google Earth, experts estimated the structure to be 8.5 miles across, and some UFO enthusiasts suggested it could be an alien spacecraft parked underwater.
Marcelo Igazusta, an Argentinian researcher, was the one who first discovered the mysterious underwater structure in June.
Igazusta claims that he spotted a beam of light shining in the dark deep below the ocean off the west coast of Mexico using the coordinates 12 ° 8’1.49 ‘ N 119 ° 35’26.39’ W.
Alien enthusiasts picked up the news and later shared it with their followers. They say that it is a perfect pyramid, measuring 8.5 miles on one side of its base. They explain that it is just a conservative estimate, and the discovery could be up to 11 miles across.
They further state that only space aliens could make such huge structure. It may not be a UFO that landed in the ocean, but some alien followers believe it is still a monumental discovery that has a connection withextraterrestrials.
Scientists Make A Microscopic Storage System That’s Only 100 Nanometers Wide
Scientists Make A Microscopic Storage System That’s Only 100 Nanometers Wide
Devin Coldewey
IN BRIEF
Scientists from the Netherlands discovered a system wherein a disk can store data atom by atom. The technology is not yet ready for public use but offers an array of possibilities.
MICROSCOPIC HARD DRIVE?
Researchers from the Netherlands were able to create a microscopic storage system that encodes every bit with a single atom. In other words, a kilobyte could be stored in a space spanning just 100 nanometers.
Hard drives you can buy today use a system that require hundreds or thousands of atoms to store a single bit of data or 1 terabit per square inch. Meanwhile, the new system can store about 500 terabits per square inch.
In a press release, Sandre Otte, lead scientist at the Delft University of Technology, stated that “In theory, this storage density would allow all books ever created by humans to be written on a single post stamp.” How cool is that?
AS COOL AS LIQUID NITROGEN
Otte explained that every bit consists of two positions on a surface of copper atoms and one chlorine atom that can slide back and forth between these two positions. Since chlorine and copper form a perfectly square grid, it is easier to position and read them. It is a 1 if the chlorine atom is at the top and a 0 if it is at the bottom. Putting 8 atoms of chlorine in a row to form a byte.
All in all, the system is efficient enough for it to store hundreds of letters into a 96×128 nanometer space, 12 rows by 12 columns, with each cell holding 8 bytes.
Though this development is promising, it is still not ready for release yet. The array is only stable in vacuum and at 77 Kelvin, similar to the temperature of liquid nitrogen. If the temperature is more than that, the heat will disrupt the organization of the atoms.
“Every bit consists of two positions on a surface of copper atoms, and one chlorine atom that we can slide back and forth between these two positions,” explained Otte. Because chlorine on copper forms into a perfectly square grid, it’s easy (relatively, anyway) to position and read them. If the chlorine atom is up top, that’s a 1; if it’s at the bottom, that’s a 0. Put 8 chlorine atoms in a row and they form a byte.
Then there are a few special marks that indicate things like the end of a line or file, or that the next space should be ignored (in case of damage, for instance). Altogether the system is efficient enough that they were able to store hundreds of letters into a 96×128 nanometer space (12 rows and 12 columns, each cell holding 8 bytes). And it’s easy enough to do these manipulations that the process can be automated.
The data the researchers chose to demonstrate this was a fragment of a Feynman lecture, “There’s plenty of room at the bottom” (PDF) — fittingly, about storing data at extremely small scales. (You can see a high-resolution image of the array here.)
This is strictly lab-bound, though, at least for now. The chlorine-copper array is only stable in a clean vacuum and at 77 kelvin — about the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Anything past that and heat will disrupt the organization of the atoms.
It’s early-stage research, but still promising. The idea of using individual atoms as bit storage is something many scientists have dreamed of, and the applications of such dense storage are, of course, innumerable. The study is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
NASA's Kepler spacecraft has combined data from Earth-based telescopes and found 197 planet candidates and 104 exoplanets (four of which could host Earth-like alien life).
MORE TELESCOPES, MORE DISCOVERIES
Using data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft on its K2 mission, and combining them with follow-up observations from earth-based telescopes, an international team of astronomers have tallied a total of 197 initial planet candidates. Notably, they also discovered 104 confirmed exoplanets (also known as ‘alien worlds’).
Moreover, four of them feature rocky terrains, meaning that they could potentially host Earth-like alien life; however, they could also be dead worlds like Venus or Mars. Still, the more rocky worlds, the more chances of finding Earth 2.0 and life like ours.
The find also features giant planets that are between 20 to 50% bigger in diameter than Earth and are all orbiting dwarf star K2-72, which is about half the size of the Sun and is found 181 light-years away.
The planets were situated tightly, orbiting their host star at distances where they can make a full orbit between five and a half to 24 days. Despite this proximity, scientists are not ruling out the possibility of life within the starsystem.

“This bountiful list of validated exoplanets from the K2 mission highlights the fact that the targeted examination of bright stars and nearby stars along the ecliptic is providing many interesting new planets,” said Steve Howell, project scientist for the K2 mission at NASA’s Ames Research Center. “These targets allow the astronomical community ease of follow-up and characterization, providing a few gems for first study by the James Webb Space Telescope, which could perhaps tell us about the planets’ atmospheres.”
It took a battalion of telescopes from both the northern and southern hemispheres to come to this copious discovery: the North Gemini telescope and the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the Automated Planet Finder of the University of California Observatories, and the Large Binocular Telescope operated by the University of Arizona.
THE KEPLER’S SECOND LIFE
The Kepler project being extended into the K2 mission would not have happened if it weren’t fora resourceful fix engineers devised in 2013 to keep it running despite losing its second of four gyroscope-like reaction wheels.
“A severe malfunction had robbed the planet-hunting Kepler of its ability to stay pointed at a target without drifting off course,” NASA recalls.
“Many of us believed that the spacecraft would be saved, but this was perhaps more blind faith than insight,” said Tom Barclay, senior research scientist and director of the Kepler and K2 guest observer office at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. “The Ball team devised an ingenious solution allowing the Kepler space telescope to shine again.”
The fix.
So far, the extension has proven over and over that it was well worth the second try. It now covers more of the sky and can observe larger fractions of cooler, smaller, red-dwarf type stars, which are very common in the Milky Way.
Il s'agit d'un des premiers ou même du premier récit d'un enlèvement étrange en liaison avec le phénomène OVNI. Et d'autant plus étrange que l'enlevé n'a pas cherché du tout la moindre publicité et à même préféré l'anonymat. Il faut dire qu'il s'agit d'un militaire, et qu'il n'a parlé que plus tard, libéré de ses obligations de réserves...
Son récit est paru dans un journal local canadien, le Prince George Citizen, en décembre 1957, alors qu'il décrit une histoire réellement arrivée le 15 mai 1951. Voici un résumé de son récit, raconté donc par ce soldat resté anonyme, membre de l'armée américaine d'occupation en Allemagne-Autriche, à la fin de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.
Il était vers 23 heures, ce 15 mai 1951 dans la banlieue de Salzbourg, en Autriche, et le soldat en question rentrait chez lui à pied lorsqu'il fut soudainement accosté par une silhouette qui braqua une instrument sur lui et le paralysa. Il fixa ensuite une sorte de "plaque" sur sa poitrine et l'être étrange pu facilement le tracter, comme s'il flottait dans les airs, vers un champ voisin où était posé un objet rond d'une cinquantaine de mètres de diamètre.
" Ma première pensée fut qu'un espion m'avait capturé (...) J'étais passablement effrayé. "
L'homme et son gardien flottèrent assez rapidement jusqu'au sommet de l'appareil et y pénétrèrent par une ouverture. Le soldat se retrouva dans une espèce de salle, où il fut délivré soudainement de sa paralysie et chuta sur le sol.
" Je ressentis comme une vibration et sus que la salle venait d'être fermée. Puis j'eus la sensation de flotter dans les airs. Je n'avais jamais volé de ma vie (...) J'avais très peur, mais je me disais que j'étais en train de rêver. " Soudain, la scène s'éclaira comme en plein jour et le soldat put enfin voir son kidnappeur. L'extraterrestre avait une tête cylindrique, avec de grands yeux ronds, pareils à ceux d'un insecte, deux trous à la place du nez et une petite fente en guise de bouche. Sinon, la créature était plutôt humaine d'aspect général, quoique plus petite que la moyenne.
Le vaisseau lui-même était construit en un matériau translucide. Ils décollèrent et mirent le cap sur la Lune, puis sur une autre planète qui avait des champs tout rouges, des rivières bleues, des ponts et des routes. Ils se posèrent dans un champ, parmi d'autres soucoupes, et la créature laissa son détenu seul dans le vaisseau, le temps d'aller discuter avec ses congénères.
" Je me disais que je devais être sur Mars. Je me souvenais de ce que j'avais appris à l'école, que Mars était rouge avec des canaux, alors cela me semblait être Mars, quoique je n'en fusse pas sûr à cent pour cent... "
La créature revint et ils décollèrent pour prendre le chemin inverse. Le soldat fut débarqué là où il avait été enlevé (et de nouveau paralysé de la même façon), puis la soucoupe repartit. Une fois sa mobilité revenue, le témoin prit ses jambes à son cou et se précipita chez lui.
" Mon épouse était encore debout, et elle me vit entrer tout excité. Elle me demanda ce qui m'était arrivé et je lui répondis : « Rien, je suis seulement malade. » Je ne pouvais pas lui raconter mon histoire, parce qu'elle aurait cru que j'étais devenu complètement fou. "
À l'horloge, il s'aperçut que son voyage n'avait duré qu'une heure...
Au rédacteur en chef du Prince George Citizen, ce premier enlevé (connu) expliqua qu'il lui racontait l'histoire parce qu'il souffrait d'une maladie cardiaque, qu'il supposait qu'il n'allait pas vivre encore très longtemps, et que le public avait le droit de savoir ce qui se passait...
On n'entendit plus jamais parler de ce soldat, et l'histoire fut redécouverte des années plus tard par des ufologues en quête de références historiques...
Voici maintenant, enfin retrouvé récemment, l'article en question et le témoignage complet, en vo puis sa traduction par Yves Herbo :
“I was working for the United States Occupation Army in Austria. On May 15, 1951, I was driving for QM Colonel Cousin. He commanded me to drive Mr. Haste to Linz from Salzburg. Mr. Haste was teaching classes to United States soldiers in Linz three times a week. “This particular day I came back as usual from Linz at about 11 o’clock at night and arrived at the motor pool five miles north of Salzburg. I started for home, leaving the car at the motor pool. I took a short cut, and on the left side was brush. It was dark, with no moon.
“Suddenly someone came out of the brush and came close to me. I could only see the outline in the dark, but he seemed to have a helmet on. He was about my height, maybe a little shorter. He had something in his hand and he pointed it at me. I thought it was his finger, but it made a ‘click.’ “After the click he waved his hand quickly and I went to put my arm up in front of my face but I was paralyzed. I felt like falling down, but I didn’t. He put a black square plate on my chest and strapped it around my back. I could hear a dog barking in the distance, but I couldn’t hear him walking. He must have walked very easily. I could see his outline as he walked around me.
“After he strapped the plate on me he walked in front of me, and pointed the thing in his hand at the plate on my chest rather than at my head like before. He walked away and pulled me after him. I couldn’t move or walk, but he just pulled me along after him. I wasn’t actually in the air, but my full weight wasn’t on the ground. It seemed as if I was light. “Behind the brush was a small field. In the field, hidden from the road, was a round object about 150 feet in diameter. It was dark, and I couldn’t tell what it was. My first thought was that a spy had captured me for some reason. “The thing that led me sort of rose from the ground and took me after him to the top of the object. He did something, either stepped on something or pushed some button, and a door opened and he pulled me after him down into the dark. I was plenty scared and I wondered what would happen next. I got down into the dark and I could finally feel a floor under my feet.
“I knew that where I was was either glass or plastic, because the stars could be seen shining up above. Then I saw what looked like the outline of what looked like a door, and he pulled me through into what I later found out was a room of glass or plastic. “He kept his finger, or what I thought was his finger but later saw was some form of pencilshaped object, pointed at me until I was inside the room. He kept it pointed at me all the time, then when I was in the room he took it off me and I sank down to the floor. He went out and I could see his outline.
There was a sort of shaking sensation, and I knew the door to the room had shut. “The next sensation I had was rising up into the air. I had never flown in my life. In a few minutes I could see the left half of the moon shining. I was scared, but I figured I was dreaming. Then I started to feel my hands and feet again. I sat up, and then I got up on to my feet. By this time we were in the sunlight. “I looked across the ship and I could see the person that had brought me there. He was standing over by the wall, and there were some levers there. He looked like a person, like we are. A little bit shorter than me. “To me at that time he looked like a devil. He had no hair at all. I could see through the sort of glass helmet. His head was sort of cylinder form. A very high forehead, with big eyes. You could see lots of little eyes in the two big eyes. It seemed to me it looked like the eyes of a fly. No nose at all, just two holes. He had a very small slit for a mouth. It looked like he had skin, it was sort of white. There were two holes for the ears. His skull was very large. “The torso was round kind of like a tin can. The legs were of proportionate length. His arms were a little bit shorter than our arms, I would say. His hands seemed to be three long fingers. I couldn’t see any neck, but he was wearing material that was like silver but wasn’t shiny. This covered all of him except the head part, which had on the helmet. He didn’t look at me at all. “The µmain part of the ship that I could see from the room I was in appeared to be round and the walls were like glass, but you couldn’t see through them. The floor was made of plastic or glass. In the middle of the floor, under the glass, was a black plate, something like I had strapped on my chest. From the corners of the plate, which looked about ten feet square, black beams ran to the walls of the ship. “I could see under the black plate and there seemed to be a duplicate room on the other side of the ship. I could see the same kind of levers on the wall as the Thing was standing beside. “As soon as we came out in the sun, I could feel burning heat, but he pulled a lever, and a covering like blue water came over the roof.
Then the sun was normal, but I could still see through it. “My first thought was that I was dreaming, and then my second thought was that I was dead and that my soul was rising up. “The ship was not rotating or going sideways, but kind of gliding straight up. I could see the Sun µlike a ball of fire, and the Moon was like a silver ball, but the rest was darkness. Suddenly, as I looked up, the Moon was right above us and it seemed to come down at us. Suddenly we were both standing on what had been the roof. We seemed to be about a quarter of a mile above the Moon. “I could see clearly the craters on the surface of the moon. There were lots of them. The ground seemed to be a grayish colour, and I could see rocks and hills. We were in the sunny part of the moon. The ship glided to the right and into the darkness. “Then the driver stopped the ship. I could feel it sort of waiting. It was dark all around outside, but the sun seemed to shine into the ship. I saw the thing take one of the pencil things that he pointed at me, and he pointed it downwards. I thought at that time he must be from the moon and that he was signaling someone down below. “There was no noise from the ship or from the signal.
After about five minutes we started to move again to the right. My first thought was that we were going back to Earth. But I could see the outline of America and Asia and I could see clouds. “The Earth and the moon were going away from me very fast. Then I began to think this was from another planet. “Suddenly another planet seemed to loom up in front of us, and I thought we were going to crash into it. I was sure of this but the driver suddenly stopped it again, but there was no jerk. I realized then we were still quite a way from the planet, and then we started to glide sideways down towards the ground. “I looked out over the land and it looked like paradise. “As we went down I looked over the land, and on one side were red fields. On the other side there were what looked like grey-green fields. Some places in the fields were what looked like big chimneys rising from the ground. It was bright daylight and the sun was shining with no clouds in the sky. “We were approaching the red fields and I could see rivers with blue water in them. The rivers ran straight and at intervals there were bridges built across them and I could see roads. The bridges were just like our bridges. “From up high I could see no sign of life. “Then we glided to a field that was filled with the saucers like I was in. There appeared to be hundreds of them. They were of different colours, grey, gold and silver. But there were no black or red ones. “The driver stopped the ship about a quarter of a mile above them by just pulling a lever. Then we went straight down until we were about 20 or 30 feet from the ground, and he parked the ship on a high platform. “As we went down I could see the same kind of people were in them like my driver. “When we got on the platform the driver pulled a lever and the glass slid back, and he went outside. He put the pencil-like thing to his chest and slowly dropped to the ground like a falling leaf. He then started to walk very fast along to the third or fourth saucer. He pointed the pencil at his chest again and sort of jumped into the ship. He was inside that ship for about ten minutes. I could see that the Thing in the other ship was smaller than the driver of the ship I was on. “While he was inside the ship I looked around at the other saucers and I could see the same type of people.
“Suddenly. Quite a way away I saw two ships that had people from Earth on them. One ship was sort of dirty looking and there was one man, one woman, and two kids on it. In another saucer nearby that kind of golden I saw one man and one woman. “I was going to wave at them but I felt scared. I was waiting for them to wave but they didn’t wave. After I saw them I thought that I would have to stay here with them now. “Down on the ground I could see big red flowers growing. They looked something like our sunflowers. There were some green patches between them. There were flowers as far as the eye could see. The earth could be seen in patches too and it was just the same as our Earth. I got to thinking that I must be on Mars. I remembered what I had learned in school about it being red with canals, and it seemed to me this must be Mars, although I wasn’t 100 per cent sure because I kind of lost location of things when we had left the Moon. “Then the driver of the ship came back from the other ship. He got back inside and closed the door again. Then we took off the same way we had come. We went up and up into the darkness and then I could see a moon that looked like a tin ball. We came quite close to it, and I could see it was smooth and silvery, without any signs of craters on it. “I didn’t know where we going then. I thought we might be going further yet. After about ten minutes, I could see what looked like half our moon and I realized we were approaching the sunny side of Earth. “I was very glad to see that it was the Earth. But we came at it with such a terrible speed that I thought for sure we would crash. The driver stopped the ship again when we seemed to hit the atmosphere, and he glided down towards Earth. I seemed to know he was going to take me back to where he found me, but I had the impression he was going to kill me because he would want to keep it secret. “We came into the darkness and then went down to the ground and I knew we at the same place he picked me up. “I was really afraid he would kill me. He opened the door and took the small pencil thing and pulled me out the door the same way he pulled me in. He guided me right back to the road. At that time I could walk, but I was very light and he was just pulling me. “He took the pencil from my chest and pointed it at my head.
At that moment a dog started to bark at us from about a quarter mile up the road and it seemed to have startled him, because the pencil-thing clicked and nothing happened to me. “I knew from the first experience I should be paralyzed, so I just pretended to be so that he wouldn’t know. He took the plate off my chest and went back to the ship. “I stayed the way I was until I saw the outline of the saucer going off into the distance. Then I ran home. “My wife was still up and she saw me all excited. She asked what had happened and I told her, “Nothing, I’m just sick.” “I couldn’t tell her about the experience because she would have thought I was completely crazy. I noticed the time when I got home and it was 12:20 a.m. The whole trip had taken about an hour. I think when the Thing pointed the pencil at my head it was to make me forget what had happened, or else to kill me, I don’t know which. “I have not told anyone else about this for two reasons. First, no one would ever believe me, and they would want to lock me up as a crazy man. Second. I am sure those people on Mars know everything that is happening here, and if I had told people about it before they would have taken me away again, or killed me. “I’m telling people now in order to help people to know what is going on in space. My heart is bothering me now, and I feel I won’t be living too much longer, so I have nothing to fear from those Martian people.
“From this experience I’ve had, I feel those people’s culture and scientific knowledge is much ahead of ours. They don’t need satellites to launch their spaceships and they have conquered many of the problems of space we are trying to conquer. They seem to power their ships with rays, maybe light rays, but it’s not with motors like ours. “My experience and seeing those other earth people on that planet show me those creatures have a great knowledge of the people here and are much ahead of us. The creature treated me only as an animal. “After that incident I couldn’t stay in that country, and in October of that year I came out to Canada. I have finally felt I want to make this story public. “With two satellites up circling the globe now (1957), maybe a few more people will believe my story. Anyway, I have told you it just as I remember it happening – and it is as clear as yesterday.”

Traduction : " Je travaillais pour l'Armée d'occupation des États-Unis en Autriche. Le 15 mai 1951, j'étais chauffeur pour le QM Colonel Cousin. Il m'a ordonné de conduire M. Haste de Salzbourg à Linz. M. Haste enseignait des cours aux soldats américains à Linz trois fois par semaine.
" Ce jour-là, je suis revenu comme d'habitude de Linz vers 11 heures du soir et suis arrivé à l'usine de moteurs à cinq miles (8 km) au nord de Salzbourg. J'ai commencé à me diriger vers la maison, en laissant la voiture à l'usine de moteur. J'ai pris un raccourci, et sur le côté gauche il y avait une haie. Il faisait sombre, sans lune.
" Soudain, quelqu'un est sorti de la haie et est venu près de moi. Je ne pouvais voir son contour dans l'obscurité, mais il semblait avoir un casque. Il était de ma taille, peut-être un peu plus petit. Il avait quelque chose dans sa main et il le pointa sur moi. Je pensais que c'était son doigt, mais ça a fait un «clic».
" Après le clic, il agita sa main rapidement et j'ai voulu passer mon bras en face de mon visage mais j'étais paralysé. Je me sentais comme tomber, mais je ne l'ai pas fait. Il a mit une plaque carrée noire sur ma poitrine et l'a attachée autour de mon dos. Je pouvais entendre un chien aboyer au loin, mais je ne pouvais pas l'entendre marcher. Il a dû marcher très facilement. Je pouvais voir sa silhouette marcher autour de moi.
" Après avoir attaché la plaque sur moi, il marcha devant moi, et a pointé la chose dans sa main sur la plaque sur ma poitrine plutôt que vers ma tête comme auparavant. Il est reparti et me tira derrière lui. Je ne pouvais pas bouger ou marcher, mais il m'a juste tiré tout du long derrière lui. Je n'étais pas réellement en l'air, mais mon poids n'était pas sur le sol. C'est comme si j'étais léger.
" Derrière la haie se trouvait un petit champ. Sur le terrain, caché de la route, se trouvait un objet autour de 150 pieds de diamètre (50 m.). Il faisait sombre, et je ne pouvais pas dire ce que c'était. Ma première pensée fut qu'un espion m'avait capturé pour une raison quelconque. La chose m'a cueilli comme une sorte de rose du sol et m'a emmené après lui vers le haut de l'objet. Il a fait quelque chose, soit il est intervenu sur quelque chose ou a poussé certains boutons, et une porte s'est ouverte et il m'a tiré après lui vers le bas dans l'obscurité. J'avais très peur et je me demandais ce qui allait arriver. Je suis descendu dans l'obscurité et je pouvais enfin sentir un sol sous mes pieds.
" Je savais que c'était du verre ou du plastique où je me trouvais, parce que les étoiles pouvaient être vues briller en haut. Puis j'ai vu ce qui ressemblait à l'aperçu à une porte, et il m'a tiré à travers, dans ce que j'appris plus tard comme étant une chambre de verre ou de plastique. Il a gardé son doigt, ou ce que je pensais était son doigt, mais j'ai vu plus tard que c'était une sorte d'objet en forme de stylo, pointé sur moi jusqu'à ce que je sois dans la chambre. Il l'a gardé pointé sur moi tout le temps, puis une fois que j'étais dans la chambre, il a pris congé et je me laissa tomber sur le sol. Il est sorti et je pouvais voir sa silhouette. Il y eut une sorte de sensation de secousse, et je su que la porte de la chambre s'était fermée.
" La sensation suivante que j'avais était qu'on s'élevait en l'air. Je n'avais jamais volé de ma vie. En quelques minutes, je pouvais voir la moitié gauche de la lune brillante. J'ai eu peur, mais je pensais que je rêvais. Puis je commençais à sentir mes mains et mes pieds à nouveau. Je me suis assis, et puis je me suis levé sur mes pieds. A ce moment, nous étions dans la lumière du soleil.
" Je regardais à travers le vaisseau et je pouvais voir la personne qui m'avait amené là. Il était debout contre un mur, et il y avait quelques leviers là-bas. Il ressemblait à une personne, comme nous sommes. Un peu plus petit que moi. « Pour moi, à ce moment-là, il ressemblait à un démon. Il n'a pas de cheveux du tout. Je pouvais voir à travers l'espèce de casque en verre. Sa tête avait une sorte de forme de cylindre. Un front très haut, avec de grands yeux. On pouvait voir beaucoup de petits yeux dans les deux grands yeux. Il me semblait que ça avait l'air comme les yeux d'une mouche. Pas de nez du tout, seulement deux trous. Il avait une très petite fente comme bouche. Il se voyait comme s'il avait de la peau, qui était en quelque sorte blanche. Il y avait deux trous pour les oreilles. Son crâne était très grand. Le torse était rond comme une sorte de boîte de conserve. Les jambes étaient d'une longueur proportionnelle. Ses bras étaient un peu plus courts que nos bras, je dirais. Ses mains semblaient être juste trois longs doigts. Je ne pouvais voir aucun cou, mais cela semblait matérialisé comme s'il était comme de l'argent, mais sans briller. Cela couvrait tout de lui, sauf la partie de la tête qui était sous le casque. Il ne me regardait pas du tout.
Une reconstitution d'un "gris", un des "abducteurs" les plus décrits par les enlevés...
" La partie principale du navire que je pouvais voir de la chambre semblait être ronde et les murs étaient comme du verre, mais on ne pouvait pas voir à travers eux. Le sol était fabriqué en matière plastique ou en verre. Au milieu du plancher, sous le verre, il y avait une plaque noire, quelque chose d'identique à ce que je avais d'attaché sur ma poitrine. A partir des coins de la plaque, qui avait l'air d'environ dix pieds carrés (3 mètres ²), des poutres noires couraient sur les murs du navire. Je pouvais voir sous la plaque noire et il semblait y avoir une chambre double de l'autre côté du navire. Je pouvais voir le même genre de leviers sur le mur que comme celui où la chose était debout à côté.
" Dès que nous sommes sortis au soleil, je pu sentir la chaleur brûlante, mais il a tiré un levier, et une couverture comme de l'eau bleue est venue sur le toit. Mais le soleil était normal, et je pouvais encore voir à travers elle. Ma première pensée fut que je rêvais, et puis ma seconde pensée fut que j'étais mort et que mon âme s'élevait. Le navire ne tournait pas ou n'allait pas sur le côté, mais glissait légèrement vers le haut. Je pouvais voir le soleil comme une boule de feu, et la Lune était comme une boule d'argent, mais le reste était obscur. Tout à coup, comme je levai les yeux, la Lune était juste au-dessus de nous et elle semblait descendre sur nous. Tout à coup, nous étions tous deux debout sur ce qui avait été le toit. Il m'a semblé être à environ un quart de mile (400 mètres) au-dessus de la Lune. Je pouvais voir clairement les cratères sur la surface de la lune. Il y en avait beaucoup. Le sol semblait être d'une couleur grisâtre, et je pouvais voir des rochers et des collines. Nous étions dans la partie ensoleillée de la lune. Le navire a glissé vers la droite et dans l'obscurité.
" Ensuite, le conducteur a arrêté le vaisseau. Je pouvais ressentir comme une sorte d'attente. Il faisait noir tout autour à l'extérieur, mais le soleil semblait briller dans le vaisseau. Je vis la chose prendre l'une des choses comme un crayon qu'il m'avait pointé dessus, et il l'a pointé vers le bas. Je pensais à ce moment-là, qu'il devait être de la lune et qu'il faisait signe à quelqu'un en bas. Il n'y avait pas de bruit du vaisseau ou à partir du signal. Après environ cinq minutes, nous avons commencé à nous déplacer à nouveau vers la droite. Ma première pensée était que nous allions vers la Terre. Mais je pouvais voir le contour de l'Amérique et de l'Asie et je pouvais voir des nuages.
" La Terre et la Lune allaient loin de moi très vite. Puis je commençais à penser que c'était une autre planète. Tout à coup une autre planète semblait surgir devant nous, et je pensais que nous allions nous planter dedans. J'étais sûr de cela, mais le pilote s'est soudainement arrêté à nouveau, mais il n'y avait pas de secousses. Je compris alors que nous étions encore assez loin de la planète, puis nous avons commencé à glisser latéralement vers le sol. Je regardai sur le sol et cela avait l'air comme un paradis. Lorsque nous sommes descendus je regardais sur le sol, et sur un côté il y avait des champs rouges. De l'autre côté, il y avait ce qui ressemblait à des champs gris-vert. A certains endroits dans les champs il y avait ce qui ressemblait à de grandes cheminées qui sortaient de terre. C'était la lumière du jour et un soleil brillait sans nuages dans le ciel. Nous approchions des champs rouges et je pouvais voir des rivières avec de l'eau bleue. Les rivières courraient tout droit et à des intervalles, il y avait des ponts construits à travers elles et je pouvais voir des routes. Les ponts étaient comme des ponts (terrestres). De très haut, je ne pouvais voir aucun signe de vie.
" Ensuite, nous glissions vers un champ qui était rempli avec des soucoupes comme celle où je me trouvais. Il semblait y en avoir des centaines. Elles étaient de différentes couleurs, gris, or et argent. Mais il n'y en avait pas de noires ou rouges. Le pilote a arrêté le vaisseau à environ un quart de mile (400 mètres) au-dessus d'elles simplement en tirant un levier. Puis nous sommes allés directement vers le bas jusqu'à ce que nous étions environ à 20 ou 30 pieds (6 à 9 mètres) du sol, et il a garé le vaisseau sur une plate-forme haute. Pendant que nous sommes descendus, j'ai pu voir que le même genre de personnes étaient en elles, comme mon pilote. Quand nous sommes arrivés sur la plate-forme, le pilote a tiré un levier et le verre a glissé en arrière, et il est sorti. Il a mis la chose en forme de crayon vers sa poitrine et est lentement tombé au sol, comme une feuille qui tombe. Il a ensuite commencé à marcher très vite le long de la troisième ou quatrième soucoupe. Il a pointé le crayon vers sa poitrine et a en sorte sauté dans le vaisseau. Il était à l'intérieur de ce vaisseau pendant environ dix minutes. Je pouvais voir que la chose dans l'autre navire était plus petite que le pilote du vaisseau où j'étais. Pendant qu'il était à l'intérieur du vaisseau, je regardais autour les autres soucoupes et je pouvais voir le même type de personnes.
" Soudainement, vers un chemin au loin, je vis deux vaisseaux qui avaient des gens de la Terre en elles. Un vaisseau avait un look poussiéreux et il y avait un homme, une femme et deux enfants à l'intérieur. Dans une autre soucoupe à proximité d'un genre doré, je voyais un homme et une femme. J'allais faire des saluts vers eux, mais je me suis senti effrayé. J'attendais qu'ils fassent des signes, mais ils n'ont pas fait de signes. Après les avoir vus, je pensais que je devais rester ici avec eux maintenant. Poussant sur le sol, je pouvais voir de plus en plus de grandes fleurs rouges. Elles avaient l'air de quelque chose comme nos tournesols. Il y avait quelques taches vertes entre elles. Il y avait des fleurs aussi loin que l'œil pouvait voir. La terre pouvait être vue dans des taches aussi, et c'était tout de la même façon que notre Terre. Je suis arrivé à penser que je devais être sur Mars. Je me suis rappelé ce que j'avais appris à l'école à ce sujet, qu'elle était rouge avec des canaux, et il me semblait que ce devait être Mars, bien que je n'en soit pas à 100 pour cent sûr, parce que j'ai en sorte perdu l'emplacement des choses quand nous avions quitté la Lune.
" Ensuite, le pilote du vaisseau est revenu de l'autre navire. Il est rentré à l'intérieur et referma la porte. Ensuite, nous avons décollé de la même manière que nous étions arrivés. Nous sommes allés jusque dans l'obscurité, puis je pouvais voir une lune qui ressemblait à une boule d'étain. Nous sommes venus très près d'elle, et je pouvais voir qu'elle était lisse et argentée, sans aucun signe de cratères sur elle. Je ne sais pas où nous allions alors. Je pensais que nous pourrions être allé plus loin encore. Après environ dix minutes, je pouvais voir ce qui ressemblait à la moitié de notre lune et je me suis aperçu que nous approchions du côté ensoleillé de la Terre. Je fus très heureux de voir que c'était la Terre. Mais nous sommes arrivés sur elle avec une telle vitesse horrible que je pensais à coup sûr nous crasher. Le pilote a arrêté le vaisseau à nouveau quand il nous a semblé frapper l'atmosphère, et il se glissa vers le bas vers la Terre. Je semblais savoir qu'il allait me ramener à l'endroit où il m'avait trouvé, mais j'eu l'impression qu'il allait me tuer parce qu'il voudrait le garder secret. Nous sommes arrivés dans l'obscurité, puis sommes descendus à terre et je nous savions au même endroit, où il était venu me chercher.
" J'ai eu vraiment peur qu'il allait me tuer. Il ouvrit la porte et a pris la chose petit crayon et me tira par la porte de la même manière. Il m'a guidé jusqu'au retour à la route. A ce moment, je pouvais marcher, mais j'étais très léger et il me tirait juste. Il a oté le crayon de ma poitrine et le pointa sur ma tête. A ce moment, un chien a commencé à aboyer sur nous à environ un quart de mile (400 m) sur la route et il semblait avoir été surpris, parce que le crayon-chose a cliqué et rien ne se passait pour moi. Je savais de la première expérience que je serais paralysé, alors j'ai fait semblant de l'être pour qu'il ne sache pas. Il a pris la plaque de ma poitrine et il est retourné à bord du navire. Je suis resté comme j'étais jusqu'à ce que je voie le contour de la soucoupe partir au loin. Puis je courus à la maison.
" Ma femme était encore debout et elle m'a vu tout excité. Elle a demandé ce qui était arrivé et je lui ai dit: « Rien, je suis juste malade.» Je ne pouvais pas lui parler de l'expérience parce qu'elle aurait pensé que j'étais complètement fou. Je remarquai le moment où je suis rentré et il était 00h20. Tout le voyage avait pris environ une heure. Je pense que quand la chose a pointé le crayon sur ma tête, c'était pour me faire oublier ce qui était arrivé, ou bien me tuer, je ne sais pas quoi. Je n'ai rien dit à personne d'autre à ce sujet pour deux raisons. Tout d'abord, personne ne pourrait jamais me croire, et ils voudraient m'enfermer comme un homme fou. Secondement, je suis sûr que ces gens sur Mars savaient tout ce qui se passe ici, et si je l'avais dit aux gens avant, ils m'auraient pris à nouveau, ou me tueraient.
" Je suis prêt à le dire aux gens maintenant afin d'aider les gens à savoir ce qui se passe dans l'espace. Mon cœur me dérange, et je sens que je ne vais plus vivre très longtemps, donc je n'ai rien à craindre de ces gens martiens. A partir de cette expérience que j'ai eu, je sens que la culture de ces personnes et leurs connaissances scientifiques sont en avance sur les nôtres. Ils ne nécessitent pas de satellites pour lancer leurs vaisseaux spatiaux et ils ont conquis la plupart des problèmes de l'espace que nous essayons de conquérir. Ils semblent alimenter leurs navires avec des rayons, des rayons de lumière peut-être, mais ce n'est pas avec des moteurs comme les nôtres. Mon expérience et de voir d'autres personnes de la Terre sur cette planète me montre que ces créatures ont une grande connaissance des gens d'ici et sont très en avance sur nous. La créature m'a traité seulement comme un animal. Après cet incident, je ne pouvais pas rester dans ce pays, et en Octobre de cette année 1951, je suis venu au Canada. J'ai finalement senti que je voulais rendre cette histoire publique. Avec deux satellites autour du globe maintenant (en 1957), peut-être qu'un peu plus de gens vont croire mon histoire. Quoi qu'il en soit, je vous ai dit juste ce dont je me souviens qu'il s'est passé - et c'est aussi clair que hier ".
Les deux satellites cités au dernier chapitre étaient Spoutnik 1 et 2. Ils ont été lancés par la Russie à l'automne 1957 et ont été les premières créations de l'homme en orbite autour de la Terre et ont inauguré ce qui est venue à être connue comme l'ère spatiale...
Ce tout premier témoignage d'un "abducté", ou d'un être humain non contacté et involontairement amène évidemment certaines réflexions. Le premier réflexe facile, peureux et pas si rationnel que ça est bien sûr de nier le tout en bloc et de dire que cette histoire est une pure invention du rédacteur en chef de ce journal canadien, qui a voulu rebondir quelques mois après sur le lancement des Spoutniks russes. Pas très rationnel car on ne voit pas comment ce journaliste se serait soudainement découvert un grand talent d'auteur de science-fiction, en plus fortement inspiré et ayant des connaissances manifestes des anciens textes sacrés égyptiens, hindoux, aztèques hébraïques, sumériens, car ce voyage ressemble fortement à un voyage initiatique (et muet) vers un univers d'une autre dimension, avec la même apposition d'une "clé" porteuse de connaissances ou de "pouvoirs" sur la poitrine et le front... Ce témoignage nous ramène à l'évidence devant (et la contradiction est là) la réalité plusieurs fois démontrée de l'existence d'une déformation de notre physique et "matérialité" de notre univers conscient. Celui dont l'être humain pense avoir une certaine conscience figée et commune, partagée par tous et donc démontrée de facto par cette communauté de perception. Ce genre de témoignage, qui rejoint les témoignages religieux, mythologiques et légendaires avec leurs parts d'irréalismes et "d'impossibilités" physiques et cartésiennes, est assez précisément ce qui caractérise souvent les perceptions des êtres humains confrontés à ce genre de phénomène, qu'ils vivent réellement et bien physiquement...
Et le fait que ce genre de témoignage soit assez rare en final (même si sur la durée de la civilisation humaine, ils se multiplient) est bien décrit et expliqué par le témoin lui-même : la peur du ridicule ou d'être prit pour de la folie. On note aussi que les "contactés" ou "enlevés" ont très rarement tiré quelque chose de positif de leur volonté de témoignage... tout comme les "saints" ou ceux qui ont voulu témoigner de leurs perceptions "étranges" dans le passé, ils se retrouvent la plupart du temps "lapidés" réellement ou pratiquement selon leur époque...
Alors oui, tout comme Jung a affirmé la réalité d'une étrange et anormale synchronicité dans la destiné des êtres humains (et il y a probablement un lien avec les phénomènes étranges de ces perceptions de la conscience humaines), j'affirme que la réalité humaine n'est pas seulement celle qui est partagée par l'ensemble des consciences humaines (ce monde matériel que nous voyons et expérimentons tout au long de notre existence sur ce plan de réalité), mais que cette réalité déborde largement le cadre de nos connaissances des lois physiques, et qu'elle peut se révéler sans prévenir et sans raison connue à nos perceptions individuelles, non préparées à son existence aussi large (et donc en contradiction avec notre apprentissage "banal" de la réalité commune) tant dans le panel des fréquences d'ondes que celui de la matière. Nous savons que nos sens sont incomplets (nos oreilles, nos yeux, notre sens du toucher ou des odeurs même, etc... ne nous permettent pas de percevoirtoute la réalité de notre propre univers !), y compris par rapport à certains animaux, mais nos progrès scientifiques dans les domaines des ondes, mais aussi des particules en ce qui concerne la matière, nous le démontrent de plus en plus, prouvant que notre réalité est forcément fausse, ou tout au moins fortement incomplète...
Vouloir être foncièrement "rationnel", ou "zététicien" et même simplement sceptique, cartésien, dans un univers prouvé comme étant en partie faux, incomplet, non connu en finalité dans sa réalité totale (car sinon les accélérateurs de particules sont de l'escroquerie !) ne relève-t-il pas en fait tout aussi bien de la folie ? Ou tout au moins ayant une volonté de limiter les progrès humains et la seule chose qui l'a fait évoluer tout au long des siècles : son imagination, sa curiosité, sa volonté de vouloir se projeter dans le futur et l'inconnu ? Le simple fait de vouloir absolument "prouver" certaines choses dans un monde qui n'est lui-même prouvé qu'en partie n'est-il pas "castrateur" et erroné en soit ? Par exemple, le fait que nous ne connaissions que la Vie de la planète Terre devrait impliquer que seule la vie terrestre existe ? La Vie est-elle un phénomène improbable ou tout au contraire un phénomène naturel et même inéluctable ?
Déjà, scientifiquement, les débats sur la probabilité de l'apparition de la Vie, sur la Terre ou même ailleurs dans l'univers, ne sont pas clos... Si on écoute le spécialiste Jacques Monod, l'apparition de la vie est un phénomène hautement improbable : la molécule contenant la structure de l'ADN n'est pas seulement un problème, c'est une énigme incroyable. Le biochimiste Francis Crick, découvreur de cette structure, a même disserté sur un véritable "miracle", avec même sa "solution" : la vie a été importée de l'espace, par des extra-terrestres ! (ce qui ne fait que déporter le problème ailleurs selon le généticien Albert Jacquard). Par contre, ceux qui pensent que la vie est répandue partout dans l'univers (c'est actuellement la théorie "majoritaire" parmi les scientifiques), soulignent la rapidité de son apparition sur la Terre : on a découvert des fossiles d'algues bleues très primitives, imprimés dans des roches vieilles d'au moins 3.5 milliards d'années. Mais le problème est que non seulement on ne comprend toujours pas l'apparition des premières molécules géantes de la vie (les protéines et les acides nucléiques - l'ADN et l'ARN et leur synthèse naturelle), mais il y a aussi un long chemin inconnu pour expliquer l'apparition des premières cellules organisées, sans compter le problème épineux de l'évolution des êtres vivants d'un état "simple" à un état "complexe"... Le biologiste Michael Denton a résumé ces problèmes de l'apparition puis de l'évolution de la vie dans son livre devenu célèbre : " Evolution. Une théorie en crise ", qui suggère de fait un dépassement du cadre théorique actuel, comme l'a fait d'ailleurs la physique avec la physique quantique au 20ème siècle...
Comment Michael Denton décrit la complexité de la Vie a surpris tous ceux qui ne sont pas familiers avec les microscopes, mais c'est une réalité à ne jamais oublier : Une cellule vivante compte dans les dix mille milliards d'atomes. Si on pouvait l'agrandir jusqu'à une taille de 20 kilomètres de diamètre (les atomes auraient alors la taille d'une boule de billard), " on découvrirait alors un objet d'une complexité et d'une finalité adaptative sans pareil ". A sa surface, on verrait des millions d'accès s'ouvrant et se fermant pour laisser passer un flux continu de matériaux entrant et sortant. A l'intérieur, on contemplerait un monde d'une complexité ahurissante : réseau de couloirs et de canaux allant dans toutes les directions, " certains conduisant à la banque de mémoire centrale du noyau, d'autres aux unités de traitement et d'assemblage. Le noyau lui-même serait une vaste chambre sphérique de plus d'un kilomètre de diamètre, semblable à un dôme géodésique ; à l'intérieur, on discernerait des kilomètres de chaînes torsadées de molécules d'ADN bien empilées en rangées ordonnées". Denton développe ainsi une vision de ces " étranges machines moléculaires " qui impose avec force l'idée qu'elles n'ont pu se manifester par hasard, comme le voudrait la théorie classique de l'évolution appliquée à l'apparition de la vie. L'idée de hasard extrême, soutenue par Jacques Monod, est selon Denton notoirement insuffisante pour justifier cela. Denton n'est pas pour autant un "créationniste", car il suggère une autre piste : " Les systèmes vivants pourraient posséder une propriété, une caractéristique nouvelle, encore inconnue, qui pourrait avoir joué un rôle dans l'évolution. Qui aurait cru, il y a quelques années, que les oiseaux sont sensibles au champs magnétique terrestre ? "... Denton en rajoute en citant d'autres domaines encore inexpliqués de la biochimie, tels que l'embryologie, la morphogénèse (ou croissance des formes), le fonctionnement du cerveau, la nature de la conscience... y compris le sujet principal du livre, la théorie de l'évolution de Charles Darwin (1859), dont les conceptions peuvent être résumé ainsi : " la variabilité des individus au sein d'une espèce et la sélection naturelle des plus aptes à vivre et à se reproduire ".Il s'agit donc d'un processus d'évolution graduelle, à petits pas, qui a été complété au 20ème siècle avec les mutations génétiques qui se produisent au hasard, et surtout par la recombinaison des gènes lors de la reproduction. Dans cette théorie, l'évolution est donc hasardeuse et progressive, et elle est illustrée par de nombreux exemples bien réels. Mais il y a tout de même un gros problème car cette théorie darwinienne, si elle explique assez bien la " micro-évolution " au sein d'une espèce ou entre deux espèces voisines, en revanche, la " macro-évolution " semble procéder par sauts rapides, en contradiction complète avec la théorie. En fait, Darwin était lui-même très conscient du problème : " L'imagination doit combler de très grands vides ".
L'étude des fossiles confirme ce problème : il y a une cruelle pénurie de formes transitoires (à part quelques rares exceptions) entre les principaux groupes d'organismes vivants, comme si le monde vivant était discontinu. Depuis Darwin, les paléontologistes n'ont cessé de chercher des " chaînons manquants ". Or, souligne Michael Denton, si " les roches n'ont cessé de livrer des formes de vie nouvelles, fascinantes, voire bizarres, jamais elles n'ont rapporté aucune des myriades de formes de transition invoquées par Darwin ". Cette constatation fort embarrassante était devenue " le secret professionnel de la paléontologie ", selon le mot du paléontologue Stephen Jay Gould. Ce dernier a d'ailleurs proposé, avec son collègue Eldredge, une autre théorie que celle de Darwin, dite " des équilibres ponctués ", ou le saltationnisme, selon laquelle les nouveaux types d'organismes surgiraient soudainement, par larges sauts évolutifs. Mais cette théorie, même si elle a maintenant la faveur de beaucoup de spécialistes, ne rapporte pas l'unanimité non plus. Car si les intervalles mineurs, du type chien/renard ou rat/souris sont ainsi explicables, il n'en est rien des passages d'une grande branche à une autre, ni de l'apparition d'organes hautement complexes, comme l'oeil ou l'aile de l'oiseau par exemple, sans transition, prêts à l'emploi, en quelque sorte...
Le grand neurologue, Sir John C. Eccles, spécialiste du cerveau et prix Nobel de médecine, va plus loin encore, car il n'accepte la théorie sur l'évolution que jusqu'à un certain point. Il montre du doigt ses limites dans l'émergence de la conscience, une autre énigme qu'il présente dans son livre " Evolution du cerveau et création de la conscience ". " je me concentrerai sur l'événement le plus extraordinaire dans le champs de notre expérience, à savoir l'avènement de chacun de nous en tant qu'être autoconscient unique. C'est un miracle à tout jamais au-delà des possibilités d'explication de la science ". " Puisque les solutions matérialistes sont incapables d'expliquer notre expérience d'unicité, je me sens contraint d'attribuer l'unicité du moi (ou de l'âme) à une création spirituelle d'ordre surnaturel. Pour m'exprimer en termes théologiques : chaque âme est une "création divine" nouvelle implantée dans le foetus à un moment compris entre la conception et la naissance ". Selon Eccles, l'explication du tout, c'est la théorie classique de l'évolution, mais elle ne suffit pas, il faut y ajouter le surnaturel. Mais pour la majorité des biologistes actuels, il faut écarter tout autant l'idée de hasard extrême que celle d'intervention surnaturelle à répétition. Selon Martin Olomucki, professeur au Collège de France, le passage de la chimie à la biologie est un processus inéluctable. " L'histoire de la vie sur la Terre nous permet de l'affirmer, même si l'on ne sait pas encore tout expliquer ". Pour le physicien Bernard d'Espagnat, les découvertes de la physique quantique - théorie fondamentale de la physique actuelle, établissant la dualité entre les ondes et les particules - ne sont pas limitées aux particules élémentaires : " Les conclusions de la physique quantique microscopique doivent s'imposer aussi à tous les niveaux macroscopiques ". Ceci promet de futurs bouleversements en matière de biologie... Déjà, certains comme Jean Dorst ou Marco Schutznberger parlent de notions de finalité et de programme pour expliquer la vie. Brian Goodwin et Rupert Sheldrake se lancent sur une toute nouvelle théorie, dite " théorie des champs morphogénétiques " qui pourrait expliquer, selon eux, la façon de comment se formerait un corps vivant et comment il maintiendrait cette forme pendant toute son existence. Une nouvelle conception qui rejoindrait certains travaux mathématiques et les postulats de la physique quantique...

OVNIs : les premiers enlèvements modernes -1 - PART II
Tout ceci pour dire que, dans l'étude du phénomène OVNI, tout comme probablement dans l'étude de certains phénomènes paranormaux (phénomènes étant très probablement à l'origine de certaines légendes, mythes et écrits religieux/ésotéristes/spirituels du passé, présent et futur), il ne faut jamais perdre de vue le fait que, via la conscience (humaine mais aussi animale dans certains cas) associée à notre perception limitée de la réalité qui nous entoure, ce phénomène a la possibilité (volontairement ou involontairement) d'influencer partiellement ou totalement son environnement physique et psychique, c'est à dire la façon dont il est perçu par son ou ses témoins. S'agit-il d'un pan de la "physique" ou des "systèmes d'informations" universels que nous ne connaissons pas encore, bien qu'il interagit en permanence avec notre réalité (le sommeil - cette grande partie de notre existence où nous ne semblons pas interagir avec notre environnement - en faisant largement partie d'une façon qui reste à déterminer (ondes du sommeil)) ?
Ainsi, dans ce premier témoignage d'enlèvement, on retrouve évidemment les connaissances du témoin à son époque (les canaux de Mars par exemple) qui tente, consciemment ou non, de faire coller ce qu'il voit avec "sa réalité" : vouloir faire coïncider l'improbable avec les connaissances et le "possible" est en fait une caractéristique de la conscience humaine, afin de préserver au mieux son intégralité : c'est plutôt en faveur de la réalité de ce témoignage (mais ça ne prouve pas pour autant la réallité de tout ce qui a été perçu, bien sûr !)... mais il y a bien " quelque chose " qui se manifeste, à la limite de la réalité physique et spirituelle de l'univers de l'Humanité, et ce depuis... peut-être toujours, ou depuis l'avènement de ce qu'on appelle la vie consciente...
Bien sûr, le plus simple et le plus facile, le plus aisé, est comme toujours de jouer à l'autruche et de se cacher la tête sous l'aile... et d'affirmer que rien n'existe en-dehors de ce que nos pauvres yeux limités peuvent voir et comprendre...
Oregon UFO distorts air crossing property at four feet
Oregon UFO distorts air crossing property at four feet
An Oregon witness at Lebanon reported watching a fast-moving object crossing his property just four feet off of the ground that created a water-like distortion in the air, according to testimony in Case 77679 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness and his wife were outside on July 14, 2016, when the object crossed their property just four feet off of the ground.
Pictured: Lebanon, Oregon. (Credit: Google)
The event occurred on July 10, 2016, and was reported to MUFON on July 14, 2016.
“Something traversed between my wife and I about four feet off the ground that made an unidentifiable noise and the speed of which was extraordinarily fast,” the witness stated.“Neither of us place any credence in ‘aliens among us’ or visitations.”
The witness believes the physics against such things are irrefutable.
“My career was in astronomy on top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. My wife was a banker and accountant.”
The object created a distortion in the air that seemed like looking through water.
Pictured: Lebanon, Oregon. (Credit: Google)
The object somehow created a distortion.
“Whatever it was created a distortion in the air between us for an instant. We live in a suburban area and our residence is surrounded by a fir forest. To the right of me from whence ‘it’ came is a 150-meter-tall hill about 50 meters away which we also own. Aside from the noise of the event there was absolutely no report one might ascribe to the discharge of a fire arm. Our area is for the most part dead quiet. If it were a bullet, etc., ‘it’ would have to be able to climb a 150-meter-tall hill, go over the top, and then descend to our level and go absolutely parallel to the ground between us.”
The witness hesitated to report the event.
“I have been reluctant to report this because of my own core beliefs, however, one of my friends encouraged me to do so anyway. I have a home observatory (a Meade 12-inch LX200) and do a lot of observing and hunting for NEOs. I have yet to see anything unexplainable either here or on top of Mauna Kea. Having said that, the event my wife and I witnessed not only frightened us, but left us with profound curiosity as to its origin. The distortion in the air between us looked as if we were looking through water. The noise was subtle, but unlike anything we have ever heard. I own guns and know a ricochet when I hear one. Am I alone in this?”
The object also emitted a noise that the witness was not able to identify.

Lebanon is a city in Linn County, Oregon, population 15,518. Oregon MUFON Assistant State Director Keith Rowell is 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.

Ancient Aliens – Destination Mars History Channel, Season 11, Episode 2 13th May 2016
Antarctica is Earth’s most remote and least explored continent. It is buried under as much as three miles of ice in some places, but recent satellite imagery has revealed what appear to be the tops of man-made pyramids scattered throughout the ice-covered landscape. But how is that possible? Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest that an ice-free Antarctica may have been colonized by extraterrestrials in the remote past, until a global catastrophe plunged it into the ice age. Is there a greater history on the continent than what mainstream scholars suggest? Scientists have reported strange magnetic anomalies radiating from beneath the ice, the Nazis allegedly made secret expeditions to the continent in search of a lost civilization, and government whistleblowers have come forward with claims of strange sightings. Perhaps hidden beneath the ice of this frozen continent lies the truth about our extraterrestrialorigins.
An Ancient Device Too Advanced to Be Real Gives Up Its Secrets at Last
An Ancient Device Too Advanced to Be Real Gives Up Its Secrets at Last
Though it it seemed to be just acorroded lump of some sort when it was found in a shipwreck off the coast of Greece near Antikythera in 1900, in 1902 archaeologist Valerios Stais, looking at the gear embedded in it, guessed that what we now call the “Antikythera mechanism” was some kind of astronomy-based clock. He was in the minority—most agreed that something sosophisticated must have entered the wreck long after its other 2,000-year-old artifacts. Nothing like it was believed to have existed until 1,500 years later.
In 1951, British historian Derek J. de Solla Price began studying the find, and by 1974 he had worked out that it was, in fact, a device from 150 to 100 BC Greece. He realized it used meshing bronze gears connected to a crank to move hands on the device’s face in accordance with the Metonic cycle, the 235-month pattern thatancient astronomers used to predict eclipses.
Understanding how the pieces fit goes together confirmed that the Antikythera mechanism was capable of predicting the positions of the planets with which the Greeks were familiar—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—as well as the sun and moon, andeclipses. It even has a black and white stone that turns to show the phases of the moon. Andrew Carol, an engineer from Apple, built a (much bigger) working model of the device using Legos to demonstrate its operation.
In June of 2016, an international team of experts revealed new information derived from tiny inscriptions on the devices parts in ancient Greek that had been too tiny to read—some of its characters are just1/20th of an inch wide—until cutting-edge imaging technology allowed it to be more clearly seen. They’ve now read about 35,00 characters explaining the device.
Petros Giannakouris/Associated Press
The writing verifies the Antikythera mechanism’s capabilities, with a couple of new wrinkles added: The text refers to upcoming eclipses by color, which may mean they were viewed as having some kind of oracular meaning. Second, it appears the device wasbuilt by more than one person on the island of Rhodes, and that it probably wasn’t the only one of its kind. The ancient Greeks were apparently even further ahead in their astronomical understandingand mechanical know-how than we’d imagined.

UFO Above The Moon In Close Telescope, July 16, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Above The Moon In Close Telescope, July 16, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Location of sighting: Earths moon Location of telescope: France Date of sighting: July 16, 2016 This is an awesome catch of a UFO moving across the moon. This UFO is made up of several tangles and you can see from the close up. The UFO moves slowly, but seems to be in Earths orbit, not actually on the moon. It could be a giant satellite, but its seems way too big to be a satellite, they should be 25% this size, so its probably alien. Great video by UFOvni2012 of Youtube. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
This UFO was found by UFOvni2012 of Youtube by using the the free Helioviewer online site. Its a great site, and easy to use. This is a really big UFO near our sun. You can see the Earth scale beside it that Helioviewer provides. So this UFO is about the size of our moon. There is a giant trail behind it, and I wonder if anyone at NASA even knew about it, or are they too busy with other things to notice it? Wow, just a really strange shape, but it clearly a ship and its leaving some kind of trail. It must take a lot of force to move a moon size ship. This is more evidence that ships do enter and exit our sun. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
This is really strange. A second UFO researcher has died just a week apart from another mysterious death of a UFO and paranormal researcher in India. It does seem that UFO researchers are now being targeted, probably to slow the rate of information being leaked to the public. It looks like the murders are not limited by boarders. Clearly UFO researchers are getting the public very close to disclosure, so close, that the only way to back off for a few decades is to murder the top UFO researcher and instill fear of the lower ones. Its not working on me, so good luck with f#$%ed up plan. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Project Camelot states: UPDATE:THIS DEATH IS VERY SUSPICIOUS. I NOW HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE A COVERUP IS IN MOTION. Both the doctor who examined Max and Police who came to the villa… Left the body behind in spite of the fact that they believed Max had died. What kind of officials do this? The entire circumstances are suspicious and I urge everyone to encourage Monica to release the details about what really happened to the public and call for an autopsy. There is another interview with Max Spiers that was conducted in person by Alesander. It contains very clear indication that Max Spiers was being attacked and sick from the time he returned from Cyprus. KERRY CASSIDY, PROJECT CAMELOT
******
We heard from Miles Johnston while still at our conference that Max Spiers had been taken very ill Saturday evening and has apparently died. There is reason to suspect that he was murdered due to his background as a “supersoldier” and because of the sudden nature of his illness. We are hoping an autopsy will be performed. According to Miles Johnston who has been in close touch with the friends where Max was staying while attending and speaking at a conference in Poland, his death may have had something to do with pills that he was taking but more investigation needs to be done.
Former Canadian Chief Of Emergency Measures UFO Confession On Deathbed
Former Canadian Chief Of Emergency Measures UFO Confession On Deathbed
Former Canadian Minister of Defence, Paul Hellyer, says that he knows an astonishing story from former Canadian Chief of Emergency Measures. Mr. Hellyer shared the claim to a panel of UFO/alien investigators during the Hearing on ET Disclosure in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
Mr. Hellyer said in jest that he could ask the current chief of emergency measures on the workings of an alien spacecraft.
UFO expert Mr. Hellyer, who claimed to have found proof of alien visitations while in the office, told the panel that he interviewed the previous chief of emergency measures. The former chief, who is now deceased, reportedly told Hellyer that he went to Langley and the CIA asked if he would like to see one of the alien vehicles.
According to Mr. Hellyer, the CIA flew this former chief to Area 51 and allowed him to go inside, observe, and make notes of this UFO.
Conspiracy theorists have long insisted that Area 51 housed evidence of alien visitations on Earth as it secretly held it from the public eye. Among the secret pieces of evidence are the remains of the alleged 1947 Roswell Incident where an apparent UFO crash landed.
Area 51 has long been existing, but the American government denied it for years and only confirmed its existence in 2013.
Mr. Hellyer further revealed that the former chief had to sign an oath of secrecy. During the chief’s life, he kept it secret and did not tell anyone even his wife. However, when he was dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease, he confessed everything about the government UFO secret to Hellyer, who was the Canadian Minister of Defence from 1963 to 1968 and a deputy prime minister in 1969.
Vijf ongelofelijke dingen die we dankzij New Horizons weten over Pluto
Vijf ongelofelijke dingen die we dankzij New Horizons weten over Pluto
Een jaar geleden scheerde Nasa-ruimtesonde New Horizons langs Pluto en voorzag die ons van de eerste gedetailleerde beelden van de ijzige dwergplaneet en zijn manen. Wat hebben die unieke beelden ons het afgelopen jaar geleerd?
Data van het ruimtevaartuig komen nog steeds binnen. De laatste ‘lading’ zal de aarde pas aan het eind van het jaar bereiken. De eerste resultaten laten al zien dat de planeet verbazingwekkend anders in elkaar steekt dan we hadden verwacht. Hier volgen vijf nieuwe inzichten over Pluto en zijn manen.
Wazige lagen
Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI
Toen New Horizons aan Pluto voorbij vloog, wierp het ruimtevaartuig een blik naar achteren. Vanuit dat perspectief verlichtte het zonlicht de wazige, verrassend hoge atmosfeer van de dwergster.
‘Het gigantische verticale bereik van de waas, en de laagvorming, waren twee dingen die we niet hadden verwacht’, zegt Randy Gladstone van het Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio in Texas. De waas strekt zich uit over meerdere honderden kilometers de lucht in en bevat tientallen verschillende banden. Er zijn zelfs aanwijzingen voor de aanwezigheid van afzonderlijke wolken.
De lagen zijn relatief stabiel, zegt Gladstone. Die stabiliteit zou te danken kunnen zijn aan de structuur van de deeltjes waaruit de waas bestaat. Men denkt dat het samengeklonterde stofkluitjes zijn, gevormd als een bosje druiven. Zo zijn ze ‘pluiziger’ dan losse stofdeeltjes, wat mogelijk zou verklaren waarom ze langer blijven zweven.
Chaotisch terrein
Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI
Voor de vlucht waren onderzoekers niet zeker over hoe het oppervlak van Pluto eruit zag. Sommigen dachten dat het er uit zou kunnen zien als het oppervlak van een biljartbal, zegt Hal Weaver van de Johns Hopkins-universiteit in Baltimore in de VS.
‘Een van de dingen die ik graag wilde doen, was Pluto transformeren van een kleine, pixelige ‘blob’, naar een echte planeet met complexiteit en diversiteit’, zegt Weaver. ‘Wat we zagen, was boven onze verwachtingen.’
Pluto’s chaotische terrein is veel gevarieerder dan verwacht. Er zijn vulkanen die ijzig water spuwen in plaats van lava, maar ook uitgestrekte, relatief gladde vlakten, zoals de informeel gedoopte ‘Sputnik Planum’, omringd door bergen van ijs.
Jong oppervlak
Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI
Het gladde oppervlak van de Sputnik Planum – het linkerdeel van Pluto’s beroemde ‘hart’, de zogeheten Tombaugh Regio – suggereert dat het relatief jong en actief is, in ieder geval op een planetaire tijdschaal. Onderzoekers schatten dat het gebied minder dan 100 miljoen jaar oud is, en misschien nog veel ‘jonger’ dan dat.
De Sputnik Planum wordt gedomineerd door kolkende, veelhoekige vormen van bevroren stikstof. Ze zijn elk ongeveer twintig kilometer in doorsnee en worden gedreven door de hitte van de planeetkern. Het is het resultaat van de oppervlaktetemperatuur van Pluto, met -233 graden Celsius (40 Kelvin) de optimale omstandigheid voor stikstof om zowel vast, vloeibaar als gasvormig aanwezig te kunnen zijn, zegt Weaver.
Charons Grand Canyon
Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI
Niet alleen Pluto zelf, maar ook de manen werden door New Horizons onder de loep genomen. Op foto’s van Charon, Pluto’s grootste maan, is een gigantische kloof te zien die zich uitstrekt over de evenaar.
Volgens de sonde is de kloof minstens 1800 kilometer lang en 7,5 kilometer diep. ‘De Grand Canyon is er niks bij’, zegt Weaver. Onderzoekers denken dat de kloof ontstaan is toen een oceaan onder de oppervlakte van Charon bevroor en uitzette, vlak na het ontstaan van de maan.
In een botsing geboren
Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI
We wisten weinig over Pluto’s andere manen – Nix, Hydra, Styx en Kerberos – voor New Horizons het systeem langs vloog. Afbeeldingen van de kleine hemellichamen gemaakt door de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop leken op kleine lichtgevende speldenknopjes, zegt Weaver.
‘We hadden geen idee hoe groot ze waren, of hoe reflectief hun oppervlak was’, zegt hij. ‘Maar dankzij New Horizons weten we dat nu wel.’
De data laat zien dat de manen veel helderder zijn dan andere, typische objecten in de Kuipergordel, het buitenste gebied van ons zonnestelsel waar Pluto zich in bevindt. Het doet vermoeden dat de manen voornamelijk bestaan uit ijs en dat ze waarschijnlijk ontstaan zijn in dezelfde botsing die ook Pluto en Charon vormde. De manen werden dus niet pas na het ontstaan van de dwergplaneet aangetrokken.
Waar nu heen?

New Horizons is Pluto al meer meer dan 400 miljoen kilometer gepasseerd, maar hiermee is de taak van het ruimtevaartuig nog niet voltooid. Nasa kondigde eerder deze maand aan dat het vaartuig op 1 januari 2019 ook voorbij een ander hemellichaam in de Kuipergordel zal vliegen.
Het nieuws van de officiële goedkeuring van de verlenging van de missie was een leuk verjaardagscadeau, zegt Gladstone. Voor nu zal het team verder gaan met het analyseren en interpreteren van de data die het ruimtevaartuig al verzameld heeft. Dat is een taak die mogelijk meer tijd in beslag neemt dan de rest van de missie, zegt hij. ‘Ik denk dat studenten hier nog decennia mee bezig zullen zijn.’
Colli Albani, a volcanic complex outside Rome, was thought to be extinct, that is, until it showed signs of activity.

A volcano outside Rome, long thought extinct, is rumbling to life. But don't panic: The volcano isn't likely to blow its top for at least another 1,000 years.
Colli Albani is a volcanic complex of hills located 19 miles (30 kilometers) from the center of Rome. There are no historical records of eruptions from Colli Albani, so it was long thought to be extinct, according to the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Now, researchers have reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters that Colli Albani just doesn't erupt that often. In fact, it enters an eruptive phase every 31,000 years or so.
A team of researchers, led by volcanologist Fabrizio Marra of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome, used ground-based observations of rising land, earthquake swarms and steam vents alongside satellite data to track Colli Albani's recent activity. An analysis of rocks from the volcano revealed a history of past eruptions, the most recent of which occurred 36,000 years ago. [The 11 Biggest Volcanic Eruptions in History]
Now, the ground underneath the volcano is inflating, rising at a maximum of about 0.08 inches (2 millimeters) per year in areas where steam vents are emerging, Marra and his colleagues reported. During the past 200,000 years, the area has risen by about 164 feet (50 meters) in elevation, they found. This suggests that magma is entering fractures beneath the volcano, they said.
The reason for the change has to do with the subsurface geology of Colli Albani, Marra told the AGU. Until about 2,000 years ago, the surrounding land held together a fracture under the volcano, preventing magma from bubbling to the surface. More recently, however, the subsurface stresses have changed so that the rock on one side of the fracture is moving and sliding against the rock on the other side, according to the AGU.
So far, these changes have manifested in a swarm of earthquakes around Rome that lasted from 1991 to 1995. Another sign was a small fumarole, or steam vent, that appeared in a road near Rome's Fiumicino airport in 2013.
Given its 31,000-year cycle, Colli Albani is arguably overdue for an eruption, but the volcano won't unexpectedly blow its top, Marra told the AGU. It likely won't build up enough pressure for an explosive eruption for at least 1,000 years. Even then, Romans can expect plenty of warning, Marra said, as an explosive eruption would be preceded by initial stages of moderate volcanic activity.
Latest SpaceX Mission Could Help Us Find DNA-Based Life in Space
Latest SpaceX Mission Could Help Us Find DNA-Based Life in Space

IN BRIEF
SpaceX recently sent a host of material to the International Space Station. After the successful launch, their rocket nailed its landing (again). Now, astronauts are preparing to unpack a host of interesting tech.
At 12:45 a.m. EDT on July 18, the sky lit up over the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida with the launch of the SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services-9 (CRS-9) mission. The Dragon cargo craft flew through the clouds toward the ISS on a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket. Dragon will arrive at the ISS at about 7 a.m. EDT Wednesday morning (July 20), according to NASA officials.
Approximately 2.5 minutes after liftoff, the Falcon 9’s first stage separated and performed a series of engine burns to head back to Cape Canaveral. At 12:53 a.m. EDT, the booster successfully touched down just miles south of the launch pad, as intended. A sonic boom could be heard as the craft reentered the atmosphere, followed by cheering from everyone watching from the causeway.
SpaceX pulled off its fifth rocket landing in the last seven months. But it won’t be hanging out on the launch pad or the Vehicle Assembly Building for long. At the post launch briefing, Hans Koenigsmann, SpaceX’s vice president of mission assurance, said “from what I can see, [the rocket is] in excellent shape, and probably pretty soon ready to fly again.”
Nailing the landing (quite flawlessly, we might add) was not the only great thing about this launch, though. Astronauts aboard the ISS can expect almost 5,000 pounds of new hardware and experiments in this delivery.
So what exactly did NASA put in their latest care package?
DNA Sequencing in Your Pocket

Perhaps one of the most exciting items has to do with our very own DNA. Before this handy tool, DNA testing aboard the space station required collecting samples and returning them to Earth. NASA’s Biomolecule Sequencer Investigationwill test a new device that will allow DNA sequencing in space for the first time. The samples in the first test will be DNA from a virus, a bacteria, and a mouse. When NASA microbiologist, Sarah Castro-Wallace, showed it off pre-launch on NASA TV, she pulled it right out of her pocket.
The miniature device has the potential to do more than just sequence DNA.
It can also sequence other biomolecules such as RNA and proteins. It can even identify microbes, diagnose diseases, and evaluate crew member health, and even (someday) help detect DNA-based life elsewhere in the solar system. One of the best parts? It’s powered by a tablet that’s already on the ISS via USB connection.
Oh, and it was built all in 10 months and is commercially available off the shelf.
“This could be huge in the exploration of other planets.” NASA
A NEW STANDARD: THE INTERNATIONAL DOCKING ADAPTER
The first of two international docking adapters (IDAs) being sent to the ISS will allow commercial spacecraft to dock to the station when transporting astronauts in the near future. Part of the Commercial Crew Program, this 1,000-pound metallic ring represents the first on-orbit element built to the docking measurements that are standardized for all the spacecraft builders across the world.
The first users are expected to be the Boeing Strainer and the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, which are both now in development.
NASA
One of the best parts about the IDA is that it is designed to work with automated guidance systems on arriving spacecraft, so they can safely dock to the station with little, if any, crew intervention. The station’s robotic arm will retrieve the IDA from the unpressurized trunk of the Dragon. Spacewalkers will complete the installation of the adapter in August.
DOES THE ISS HAVE AC?
NASA
The goal of the Phase Change Material Heat Exchanger (PCM HX) project is to regulate internal spacecraft temperatures. Inside this device, NASA is testing the freezing and thawing of material in an attempt to regulate temperature on a spacecraft. This phase-changing material (which has the consistency of a mineral oil) can be melted and solidified at certain high heat temperatures to store and release large amounts of energy.
Rubik Sheth, project manager, explains how the goal is to study thermal control around the Moon:
“We’re going back to the Moon. We’re going to go back out of LEO (low Earth orbit), and we’re going to try to do things that we haven’t done in a very long time.”
The focus of the investigation is NASA’s multipurpose crew vehicle, the Orion that’s headed toward the Moon. The Moon provides a very harsh environment. It’s of upmost importance to make sure the astronauts are safe and comfortable.
YOUR SKELETON IN MICROGRAVITY
OsteoOmicsis an experiment that will investigate the molecular mechanisms that dictate bone loss in microgravity. It does this by studying osteoblasts, which form bones, and osteoclasts, which dissolve bone. New ground-based studies are using magnetic levitation equipment to simulate gravity-related changes. Bruce Hammer, professor at the University of Minnesota Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, showed a video showing bugs (ants, spiders, and a grasshopper) navigating this faux microgravity environment.
This experiment hopes to validate whether this method accurately simulates the free-fall conditions of microgravity. Results from the study could lead to better preventative care or therapeutic treatments for people suffering bone loss on Earth and in space.
HUMAN HEART CELLS ON THE ISS
The goals of the Effects of Microgravity on Stem Cell-Derived HeartCells investigation include increasing the understanding of the effects of microgravity on heart function, the improvement of heart disease modeling capabilities, and the development of appropriate methods for cell therapy for people with heart disease on Earth.
Pretty much every system is affected by the microgravity environment. But we know very little about what happens at a tissue cellular molecular level, says Peter Lee, assistant professor of surgery at Ohio State University.
Using induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) means that the research team can produce heart cells without performing surgery on a patient. The team will be sending the cells to the ISS for one month. Astronauts will be looking at changes in gene expression, beating rate, and cell shape and size.
You can watch the full video covering what’s on board the SpaceX dragon here. Dragon isscheduled to depart the space station Monday, Aug. 29. After splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, west of Baja California, more than 3,300 pounds of science, hardware, crew supplies, and spacewalk tools will be returned to shore.
Russian 6th-Gen Fighter Jet To Fly With Swarms of Protector Drones
Russian 6th-Gen Fighter Jet To Fly With Swarms of Protector Drones
IN BRIEF
Russian's sixth-generation fighter jet will operate in conjunction with drone swarms armed with electromagnetic cannons, an official said.
SQUAD GOALS
It may still be 10 years before Russia’s sixth-generation fighter jet will be ready but officials say that the aircraft will have its own swarm of drones flying beside it.
Vladimir Mikheev, an adviser to the deputy head of Radioelectronic Technologies Concern — part of the Moscow-based state corporation Rostec — said the fighter jet will be unveiled in 2025.
With a supersonic speed of about 4-5 Mach, the unmanned aircraft will be able to enter near space and reenter the atmosphere in a designated spot, hundreds of kilometers away from the place of the original entry.
Image source: Defense Tech
YOU CAN’T FLY WITH US
Pilots will be assigned a drone to command depending on their rank. “Depending on the status, he [the pilot] is given several subordinate drones,” Mikheev says. “They, in their turn, understand –– they must protect, for example, lieutenant Petrov. But if colonel Ivanov is in the cockpit, the number of subordinate drones should be more, and so forth.”
The drone aircraft will also be equipped with high-frequency electromagnetic cannons — too powerful for manned aircraft to operate without hurting pilots — designed to knock out enemy radio signals from a distance of about six miles.
MEANWHILE, IN THE U.S.
The U.S., in parallel, is also working on sixth-generation fighter designs after the introduction of the Lockheed Martin Corp.-made F-22 Raptor and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter fifth-generation aircraft, the latter of which is still in development.
But rather than create a single sixth-gen platform capable of overcoming today’s threats — cyber, electronic attack, anti-satellite, surface-to-air — the Air Force has signaled an interest in trying to develop new weapons such as directed energy and hypersonic missiles that can be installed on updated aircraft.
Using a specialized capture mechanism, the European Space Agency (ESA) plans to lasso a large, abandoned satellite drifting through space and pull it down to burn up in the atmosphere.
The e.DeOrbit mission, part of the agency's Clean Space Initiative, is designed to capture an ESA-owned satellite that is in low orbit around the Earth but no longer functioning. If all goes according to plan, a capture mechanism — such as a robotic arm, net or harpoon — will latch on to the target in 2023 and bring it down to where it can safely burn up in Earth's atmosphere, ESA officials said in a statement. You can see a video on how the space junk cleaner works here.
However, reeling in such a large piece of space junk is no easy feat. There are several challenges that ESA scientists will have to tackle: They will have to identify the fast-moving target, find a safe and secure way to chase it down and capture it, and synchronize orbital paths with the satellite to bring it down into Earth's atmosphere in a controlled manner. [7 Wild Ideas to Clean Up Space Junk]
"While the concept is straightforward, the implementation is not — e.DeOrbit will be like nothing ESA has ever attempted before," Robin Biesbroek, ESA's study manager, said in the statement. "The chaser satellite requires extremely sophisticated guidance, navigation and control to synchronize motion and then capture its target, guided, in turn, by advanced image processing, blending inputs from optical and multispectral cameras as well as 'laser radar' lidar to derive a precise, reliable sense of the target and its motion."
The ESA plans to launch a satellite in 2023 to capture abandoned space junk drifting through space and bring it down to where it can safely burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
Earlier this year, ESA demonstrated the concept of capturing an abandoned satellite by shooting a net at a drone.
"In addition, e.DeOrbit needs a reliable method of capturing its target," Biesbroek said. "We are now looking at a net, harpoon or gripper, as well as advanced robotics to secure the two satellites together. Finally, the satellite also requires a very high level of autonomy, because continuous real-time control from the ground will not be practical, especially during the crucial capture phase."
Initiatives to capture and remove dead, abandoned space junk become even more essential as the number of space launches per year continues to increase. The ESA video said a 1-cm (2.5 inches) piece of space debris could "strike a working satellite with the force of a hand grenade," which, in turn, could cause a subsequent cascade of collisions and harm any new satellites being launched into space.
Russia Launches Robotic Supply Ship to International Space Station
Russia Launches Robotic Supply Ship to International Space Station

An unmanned Russian cargo ship launched to the International Space Station on Saturday (July 16) on a mission to deliver three tons of food, supplies and fuel to the orbiting laboratory.
The resupply ship Progress 64 launched into orbit atop a Soyuz rocket at 5:41 p.m. EDT (2141 GMT) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, where the local time was early Sunday morning. Progress 64 will journey for two days in space before arriving at the space station on Monday night (July 18). You can watch Progress 64 arrive at the space station here, courtesy of a NASA webcast. Docking is set for 8:22 p.m. EDT (0022 July 19 GMT).
SpaceX's Dragon will launch to the space station at 12:45 a.m. EDT (0445 GMT) on Monday from a pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida. It will arrive at the orbiting lab early on Wednesday (July 20), with NASA webcasting the subsequent docking.
Traditionally, Russia’s Progress launches are welcomed by the astronauts because they carry a few items that astronauts miss on Earth, such as fresh fruit. Since the International Space Station does not have a fridge to store food, most of the things astronauts eat must be shelf-stable (like tortillas) or rehydrated.
The launches also replenish the space station's stock of freeze-dried food and coffee, and provide supplies for the space station's toilets, filters and other areas that might need replacing. A Progress spacecraft typically remains at the space station for about six months and departs with a load of trash of up to three tons. The spacecraft then burns up in the Earth's atmosphere.
The Progress line of disposable automated spacecraft have flown more than 140 flights in three decades. Only two of these spacecraft have not reached their destination, including one Progress flight in 2015. That flight reached Earth orbit, but spun out of control before flying on to the space station. It eventually burned up in the atmosphere.
Progress is one of a small fleet that supplies the International Space Station. The other main providers are two private companies — SpaceX (which flies Dragon spacecraft) and Orbital ATK (which flies Cygnus spacecraft) — as well as Japan's H-2 Transfer Vehicles. The European Space Agency also flew five supply missions to the space station using its own Automated Transfer Vehicle.
In one of Carl Sagan's last books, he noted that astronomy has brought humanity to a series of "great demotions." Simply put: When we first observed the night sky, we thought the Earth was in the center of the universe. Over time, as he described in Pale Blue Dot, we tried out other theories as the criteria fit: Maybe the sun is at the center of the universe? Perhaps we're in an important part of the galaxy?
We now know the Earth is in the suburbs of the Milky Way, and our solar system is only special because we live in it, but this series of demotions shows us one thing: it's easy to project our image on to the universe. This is especially true when searching for life. Because there is only one case of life as we know it -- life on Earth -- it's easiest to look for life like ours. But in reality our kind of life may not be the most common type to look for after all.
A new paper in Astrobiology is asking the astronomy community to help the SETI Institute. (SETI stands for "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.") With more data on exoplanets coming in from the Kepler space telescope, and 50 years of space and SETI observations behind us, the hope is new tools can emerge to improve the search for life.
"A key concept is the one of cohabitation of life and environment ... Each planet is a unique planetary experiment, and if we are starting to model these environments, then we can start to figure out what kind of diversity is out there," author Nathalie Cabrol, the SETI Institute's senior research scientist and director of the Carl Sagan Center, told Discovery News.
One example she suggests in her paper is looking for an element that is in disequilibrium in a planet's atmosphere. (In other words, if scientists see a lot of silicon in an atmosphere that physics predicts would have little, perhaps that could show silicon-based life there.) The advantage is the aliens wouldn't necessarily have to be sending out signals for us to find, she added.
A recent blog post from the SETI Institute's Seth Shostak highlighted this fact for Earth, pointing out our oxygen signature has broadcast life for more than two billion years.
Indeed, much of astrobiology itself is built on assumptions. Scientists commonly speak of a "habitable zone" for planets, based mostly on where Earth is located in our own solar system. Exoplanet biology is also compared with our own, such as when instruments for Mars are tested here based on their abilities to find Earth microbes.
Radio and optical searches, she added, are still the best tool we know of for searching given our known physics of the universe. But she does point out in the paper that the SETI Institute has been focused on the endpoint of the famous Drake equation -- how many communicating civilizations there are -- rather than "trying to understand or quantify the processes taking place within each of the factors's [for life] that lead to the next."
Even Frank Drake himself, she added, said his equation was not aimed to look for microbes or non-communicating species.
Cabrol said the goal of her paper -- which she emphasized is just a single data point, open to discussion and dispute from other astronomers -- is not to necessarily say these ideas are wrong. Instead, her hope is that after the SETI Institute organizes a workshop next year to explore these issues, that astronomers may have a better idea about where to point their telescopes.
Il pilote plusieurs drones en même temps par la pensée !
Il pilote plusieurs drones en même temps par la pensée !
Aux États-Unis, des chercheurs de l'université de l'Arizona travaillent sur un système de contrôle par ondes cérébrales qui permet de piloter simultanément quatre drones. Soutenus financièrement par l'armée américaine, ils comptent perfectionner leur technologie avec, à terme, l’ambition de pouvoir manœuvrer une centaine d’appareils.
- Marc Zaffagni, Futura-Sciences
Les chercheurs de l’université d’État de l’Arizona ont découvert que notre cerveau est capable de gérer des groupes d’objets distincts du corps et que cette activité cérébrale spécifique est exploitable pour contrôler plusieurs drones simultanément.
Il y a quelques mois de cela, Futura-Sciences vous parlait d’une course de drones un peu particulière, la Brain-Drone Race. Organisée par des chercheurs et étudiants de l’université de Floride (États-Unis), elle opposait 16 concurrents munis de casques EEG (électroencéphalographie) détectant l’activité électrique du cerveau ; chacun devait piloter un drone jusqu’à une ligne d’arrivée. Grâce à une interface neuronale, le casque EEG détectait l’activité électrique du cerveau liée à la pensée d’une action et transmettait la commande à l’appareil par liaison sans fil. Assurément impressionnant. Pourtant, il y a encore plus fort…
À l’université d’État de l’Arizona, un chercheur s’attelle en effet à contrôler non pas un, mais plusieurs drones en même temps. Panagiotis Artemiadis travaille depuis 2009 sur les interfaces cerveau-machine. Il y a quelques années, il a commencé à s’intéresser à la possibilité de contrôler plusieurs appareils en même temps. Une idée qui a beaucoup intéressé la Darpa, l’agence de recherche et développement de l’armée américaine, laquelle a décidé de financer ces travaux.
Techniquement, le dispositif est identique à celui utilisé pour la Brain-Drone Race, avec un casque EEG doté de 128 électrodes qui enregistre l’activité cérébrale correspondant à la pensée d’une action. Un ordinateur acquiert ce signal tandis qu’un autre le traite avant d’envoyer la commande finale au drone via une liaison sans fil Bluetooth. La technologie repose sur une cartographie de l’activité cérébrale, afin de savoir exactement quelle zone du cerveau correspond à quelsmouvements. L’interface neuronale peut alors détecter la zone en question et transmettre la commande afférente.
L’une des pistes envisagées pour exploiter cette interface neuronale est de créer des groupes hybrides de drones et de robots terrestres pour des missions de sauvetage.
Un système développé avec des pilotes de chasse de l’US Air Force
Ce qu’a découvert Panagiotis Artemiadis, c’est que le cerveau est capable de s’adapter pour gérer les comportements collectifs d’objets qui sont dissociés du corps. « Nous savons dans quelle partie du cerveau nous pouvons enregistrer ces signaux et ce qu’il faut y chercher pour décoder ces comportements collectifs pour des véhicules aériens et des groupes de robots », explique le chercheur. Les travaux ont été menés en collaboration avec des pilotes de chasse de l’US AirForce.
À l’heure actuelle, un opérateur peut ordonner à un groupe de drones ou de véhicules terrestres de se déplacer dans une certaine direction, de s’éparpiller ou encore de tourner autour d’une cible spécifique. Le dispositif est en revanche très exigeant. Les pilotes ne doivent pas relâcher leur concentration un instant car la fatigue, le stress et même la faim ont une incidence. De plus, comme chaque utilisateur est différent, l’interface neuronale doit être calibrée individuellement et ce calibrage doit se faire à chaque nouvelle session.
Pour le moment, le système permet de contrôler trois à quatre drones mais le professeur Artemiadis et son équipe ont l’ambition d’arriver rapidement à une vingtaine d’appareils, et même ensuite une centaine. Le second objectif est de travailler sur une configuration hybride dans laquelle des drones et des véhicules terrestres seront coordonnés via une interface neuronale pour accomplir certaines tâches. « On peut commander aux quadricoptères de venir se poser sur des engins terrestres pour se recharger ou bien pour remettre des informations que l’on ne veut pas transmettre par une connexion sans fil », précise le chercheur.
L’un des scénarios évoqués est d’utiliser cette combinaison pour des missions de secours mais l’intérêt de la Darpa n’est évidemment pas anodin dans la perspective d’un usage militaire.

Romanian General Describes Encounter With Reptilian Beings
Romanian General Describes Encounter With Reptilian Beings
Romanian general reveals an intriguing story about reptilian beings seen right outside a public area.
There’s a conspiracy theory claiming that important political figures worldwide are nothing but disguised reptilian humanoids that secretly govern the unsuspecting human civilization. These allegations are based on several discoveries of huge underground cities in various regions of the globe, but also on local legends, cave paintings and recently an important statement coming from a high rank official.
Retired General Emil Strainu, a key figure of the Romanian army, author of a few interesting books relating facts about humanity’s “forbidden history,” spoke about a bizarre sighting involving a reptilian-like being present in a public area. He has widely discussed about this unusual meeting at relevant esoteric events throughout the world.
General Strainu strongly believes in the existence of reptilian extraterrestrials hidden in huge underground metropolises, but doesn’t want to reveal more on this topic. “I’m not going any further on this subject!” said the General.
To make his unusual story known, he contacted Aryan Hava, author of “Inuaki, the reptilian within me,” a two volumes work illustrating known and unknown facts about reptilians. The story describes a peculiar event lived by a good friend of his, who encountered two reptilian creatures near the Retezat Mountains in the Carpathians.
Driving back from a short vacation, the man decided to pull over a nearby gas station to refuel. As he got out of the car, he saw a khaki Hummer with dark windows parked right near the gas station with the engine running. He found this strange, as it was between 5:00 and 5:10 AM, and no one was on the road at that time of day and near the wilderness of the Carpathians.
The man paid for the gas and as he walked back to his SUV, he noticed the front door of the Hammer was opened, moment when he peaked inside out of curiosity and saw a reptilian being covered in green scales and nothing on except a pair of military boots. After the frightening appearance, the man rushed to his car, but not before having another glance at the unusual creature. They made eye contact for a brief moment before he stepped on the gas and ran out of there.
His friend requested to remain anonymous since he’s also an influential politician involved in the Romanian state’s affairs. After the incident, he went directly to General Strainu and spat out what had just happened. According to the general, the man was extremely credible when he narrated the story. His eyes looked as if telling the truth and he gave many details and possible meanings or misinterpretations. The man was certain of what he saw.
As for General Strainu, we can only trust his word, as an ex-official who had access to numerous classified documents involving out of place archaeological discoveries and events suppressed by the communist state in the past.
Among these imposing achievements, he is Advisor of the Romanian Parliament on unconventional issues and asymmetrical threats, Director of the Special Situation and Research Center on UFOs and Psihotronics, Founder of the Association for the Study of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomenon, and at least as important as those mentioned, author of several esoteric books.
General Emil Strainu remains a trusted source, and his disclosures are well-received in the UFO community. He advocates for people knowing the truth about the real history and about how extraterrestrials govern our species from the shadows. He doesn’t go much into details except for the paranormal seminars where he feels free to disclose even more. His reserved attitude adds even more to the credibility of the story.
Are reptilian extraterrestrials among us? If this is really the case, we are going to find out in the future when they’ll reveal themselves to us once more.
Contactee Claims our Moon is Artificial and Was Brought Here from Another Galaxy
Contactee Claims our Moon is Artificial and Was Brought Here from Another Galaxy
Contactee Alex Collier claims our Moon is actually the interstellar transport ship that was brought here from a distant solar system. It contained an experiment run by the grey aliens and their reptilian masters: our genetically-engineered ancestors.
Fluke or not, most Sci-Fi writers proved to be quite visionary, if not somewhat prophetic. The book “Letters from Andromeda”, the brainchild of Job Robinson and Alex Collier describes a telepathic conversation with alien beings originating from the Andromeda Galaxy. An ancient being called Moraney from the constellation Zenetae, transmitted important information to Collier, questioning the lies spread in our history books.
The Andromedan exposed the deceitful way humans are being ruled, the lies that govern our every day lives without our consent or even awareness. We are being told nothing about the real concerns of real life, much less about what is actually happening in our Solar System.
Moraney’s biggest revelation pertained to mankind’s true history and a secret base on the Moon. Earth’s satellite carried a vital role in our genesis, but far from any way we have been taught so. The Moon was brought from the constellation Ursa Minor – 432 light years from Earth – to serve as a transport ship for reptilians, human-reptilian hybrids and the first generation of human ancestors to descend on Earth. Our moon made its way in our galaxy dragged by an asteroid that is believed to cross our galaxy every 25,000 Earth years.
THIS IS HOW COLLIER DESCRIBED ANDROMEDANS
Moraney also revealed that our Moon once orbited the 17th planet of the Chowta star system, home of the Andromedans. What we see today of the Moon, are in fact the remains of a 6.2 billion years-old cosmic vestige called Maldek, a reminder of the ancient war between the tyrannical Grey aliens of the Orion Empire.
According to the information passed on to Collier by the Andromedan, we are here because we were brought here by an ancient extraterrestrial civilization surpassing our Sun in age.
To sustain this daring theory, we need to address speculation. Rumors have it that on the surface of the Moon, lunar missions detected the presence of some unknown chemical compounds, and that discovery was entirely covered up. Collier had his restraints on this matter, but Moraney’s telepathic communication confirmed all doubts:
“The Moon is hollow. It contains huge underground facilities built by E.T.’s and later humans from Earth. There are seven openings into the Moon’s crust, and the underground bases. Conservative scientists have wondered why so many craters seem so shallow, despite their size. The Andromedans say, it’s because much of the surface was built on top of a metallic shell of a circular space crest; or “A War Carrier”, as the Andromedans describe it.”
The craters on the Moon are a solid hint to a trained eye, for their depth does not match a straying cosmic body, but a uniform shape pressing against the layers of lunar dust and rock, but since we are alone in this galaxy, who is responsible for the so called craters? The answer comes from the Andromedan, who tells of cities and spacecraft hangars located on the far side of the Moon, that were destroyed in a war over 113,000 years ago, leaving behind the marks visible from our planet.
The Greys guided the first exploration mission of these ruins back in 1950, when a team of NSA (not NASA!) astronauts allegedly delved into a lunar underground facility the size of New York, right underneath the Jules Verne crater. Inside the facility they found the remnants of a violent battle, seeing pieces of reptilian bodies scattered all over the place.
“When the Apollo astronauts landed on the moon, the World Order had been there for some time,” Collier wrote. This knowledge and technology was withheld from the lower levels of NASA and our military. NASA has been used as a blind to keep people from truly knowing what was going on there. The astronauts were silenced under threats and remain so today.”
Since then, the World Government maintained a lunar population program starting with 36,000 handpicked people. The colony is estimated to reach 600,000 occupants in the near future.
The leaders of the entire operation are the Greys, but they rarely interfere directly, but rather carry their messages through a group called the Black Monks. Originally human, the Black Monks have been radically modified to serve the Greys’ needs and can “no longer be considered Earth humans.”
The step below in the hierarchy are a group called the Blue Moon, who serve the Black Monks, comprised of American, British, Russian and French representatives. These groups operate and control the moon bases and under their command are two organizations: Alpha One and Alpha Two. Collier had reasons to believe that Alpha One was assigned with gathering resources on Earth and keeping the population unsuspecting.
The Andromedan Moraney told Collier that Alpha Two is actually MJ-12, the infamous organization tasked with recovering and investigating alien craft. If this is true, the organization we believe to be in charge of such covert projects is actually at the bottom of the ladder, and said ladder runs much higher than we previously thought.
To this day, Collier’s allegations have yet to be proven but completely rejecting their implications would be unwise.
The far side of the Moon is forever hidden from view and even if a number of alien bases were located there, we wouldn’t be able to spot them from Earth. But Alex Collier is pretty adamant about his enlightenment and the forbidden knowledge he was blessed with by the Andromedans.
Wetenschappers hebben opnieuw meer dan honderd planeten gevonden in andere stelsels. Daarmee is inmiddels het bestaan van bijna 3.400 planeten aangetoond. Bovendien zijn er nog duizenden potentiële planeten.
De sterrenkundigen zagen bij de ster K2-72 vier planeten die mogelijk rotsachtig zijn, zoals de aarde. Ze zijn 20 tot 50 procent groter dan de aarde en staan dichter bij hun ster dan Mercurius bij de zon. Toch sluiten de onderzoekers niet helemaal uit dat er leven mogelijk zou kunnen zijn.
De zogeheten exoplaneten - planeten bij andere sterren dan de zon - zijn gevonden met de ruimtetelescoop Kepler en met telescopen in onder meer Hawaï en Chili. De nieuwe ontdekkingen verschenen in The Astrophysical Journal.

Could this strange corpse be the world's first proof aliens have visited Earth?
Could this strange corpse be the world's first proof aliens have visited Earth?
PARANORMAL investigators are calling for DNA tests to be carried out on a bizarre corpse that some believe could be the world's first alien dead body on Earth.
The bizarre "creature" said to have been found in a jar.
With its tiny winged frame and reptilian face, the "dead alien" has all the hallmarks of an elaborate hoax, but some alien investigators believe it could be the real deal.
Author Brian Foerster claims to have found the unusual winged small humanoid corpse in a specimin jar in an office in Mexico earlier this year.
Claims are now being made in a video clip online that X-rays carried out on the "dead body" have shown a skeletal structure inside, leading to calls for further analysis, including DNA tests.
But there have been claims the clip entitled "What is this weird creature with wings in this jar?" could be an online money spinner, because the clip promotes a website where viewers have to pay to see the full documentary.
In a promotional blurb for the video clip, Mr Foerster wrote: "I saw this very odd animal in an office in Mexico City in January of 2016.
"As a trained biologist I have a hard time thinking it is fake.
“What do you think?"
In the clip, which appear to be highlights from a longer documentary, LA Marzulli, an author and filmmaker, is seen investigating the discovery.
He meets with Mexican paranormal journalist Jamie Maussan, who says: "It is a hybrid, and that is something very important, because i believe these are confidential experiments, and why I don't know.
"But we have a physical body. We can analyse that physical body and prove that something, an intelligence, is behind these experiments."

VIDEO: Vreemd ‘wezen’ met vleugels houdt gemoederen bezig
VIDEO: Vreemd ‘wezen’ met vleugels houdt gemoederen bezig
De resten van een vreemd gevleugeld wezen in een pot houden de gemoederen op internet sterk bezig. Schrijver Brian Foerster claimt eerder dit jaar in een kantoorruimte in Mexico op de resten te zijn gestuit.
Er zijn röntgenfoto’s van het wezen gemaakt, maar men wil nu ook DNA-onderzoek gaan doen. “Ik ben opgeleid tot bioloog en kan me haast niet voorstellen dat dit nep is,” schreef Foerster onder beelden van het vreemde wezen. “Wat denken jullie?”
De Mexicaanse journalist Jaime Maussan reageert: “Het is een hybride. Dat is erg belangrijk omdat ik denk dat er geheime experimenten worden gedaan. We hebben hier een fysiek lichaam. We kunnen dat fysieke lichaam analyseren en bewijzen dat er een intelligentie achter deze experimenten zit.”
Daarop verschijnt schrijver L.A. Marzulli in beeld, die een man in een laboratoriumjas interviewt over het vreemde wezen. “Het heeft vleugels. We hebben een röntgenfoto van dit wezen en we kunnen de botstructuur zien,” zei de man. “Het is dus geen hoax.”

CONTACT: THE UFO ALIEN COSMIC CODE And How Deep Does It Go? UFO Sighting News
Maker of video:UFOTV Date of video: July 2016 About 10 years ago, some Korean cloning expert scientists came out and said that an alien code was discovered in human DNA, and that it was the main cause of cancer, due to its mistakes in linking to the human DNA. How deep does the code go in us, the Earth, the solar system, the universe, space and time? Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: Presented in this movie are the details of an unknown Alien form of communication. UFOs are appearing in the sky in group formations that match major Galactic constellations in Space. Ancient structures such as the Pyramids of Egypt also reflect these same galactic constellations within their layout and design. Today with the aid of video cameras, "smart phones" and the internet, these galactic UFO formations are being seen by billions of people worldwide. Clearly, a sophisticated coded language is now being broadcast all over the world through the distribution of UFO videos and has also been memorialized for all time through the placement of ancient pyramids and sacred sites. What does it all mean? Join us as we discover our true place in the cosmos.

Maker of video:Earth Mysteries News, EMN I'm sure you have wondered what it would be like to have direct contact with an alien being. What would you say? How would you react? Would it give you the experience you wanted, or would it just create more questions for you? I'm sure others have had experiences, and probably are nervous to talk about it. I hope this video convinces you its ok to talk about it. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Video states:
“Contact” experiences range from the 3-Dimensional physically tangible kind to more subtle, out-of-body consciousness experiences that have been described by some as more “real” than reality itself. The sliding scale of experiences are 3D to 4D and perhaps beyond that. Some contact experiences have been described as invasive and upsetting, but much more often than that people describe feeling a sense of expansion in awareness and purpose after these consciousness expanding events. For the very first time sharing her story publicly on EMN, Tracey talks about her “contact” experience that was witnessed by her friend at home in Washington State. Tracey is presently an honors student of interdisciplinary social sciences with a focus in psychology and international studies, hailing from a professional background in gaming and design from an industry leading gaming company. Most specially, Tracey is an “experiencer/ contactee” and explorer of consciousness. We encourage anyone with ‘contact’ or ‘abduction’ experiences to reach out to Earth Mystery News via email and we can explore them more fully.
Ancient Aliens – Pyramids of Antarctica History Channel, Season 11, Episode 1 6th May 2016
Antarctica is Earth’s most remote and least explored continent. It is buried under as much as three miles of ice in some places, but recent satellite imagery has revealed what appear to be the tops of man-made pyramids scattered throughout the ice-covered landscape. But how is that possible? Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest that an ice-free Antarctica may have been colonized by extraterrestrials in the remote past, until a global catastrophe plunged it into the ice age. Is there a greater history on the continent than what mainstream scholars suggest? Scientists have reported strange magnetic anomalies radiating from beneath the ice, the Nazis allegedly made secret expeditions to the continent in search of a lost civilization, and government whistleblowers have come forward with claims of strange sightings. Perhaps hidden beneath the ice of this frozen continent lies the truth about our extraterrestrial origins.
Knowledge of the Forever Time: Ancient Aliens 200,000 Years
It is believed by science that the oldest knowledge that we can find in recorded human history here on Earth points to primitive man and cave paintings. But what if we discovered that hidden within those cave paintings is a sophisticated ancient alien system for tracking and navigating star constellations for interstellar space travel? Further study suggests that this prehistoric history recorded on stone also contain screams of fear and desperation that tell us how our world will end. New evidence reveals another story of pre-historic high technology and an extraterrestrial connection to our ancient past. And, believe it or not, it tells us how to save ourselves from an impending doom. And in the end we are led to the Nazca Lines of Peru and the exhistance of Stargates and wormholes that hold the key to interstellar travel that may be within our grasp. The question you may need to ask yourself is, if you could understand these advanced ancient alien messages from our pre-historic past, what would you do?
The ancient Egyptians had their pyramids, the Greeks, their sculptures and temples. And everybody knows about the Maya and their famous calendar.
But other ancient peoples get short shrift in world history. Here are a handful of long-lost cultures that don't get the name recognition they deserve.
7. The Silla
The Silla Kingdom was one of the longest-standing royal dynasties ever. It ruled most of the Korean Peninsula between 57 B.C. and A.D. 935, but left few burials behind for archaeologists to study.
One recent Silla discovery gave researchers a little insight, however. The intact bones of a woman who lived to be in her late 30s was found in 2013 near the historic capital of the Silla (Gyeongju). An analysis of the woman's bones revealed that she was likely a vegetarian who ate a diet heavy in rice, potatoes or wheat. She also had an elongated skull.
Silla was founded by the monarch Bak Hyeokgeose. Legend held that he was hatched from a mysterious egg in the forest and married a queen born from the ribs of a dragon. Over time, the Silla culture developed into a centralized, hierarchical society with a wealthy aristocratic class. Though human remains from the Silla people are rare, archaeologists have unearthed a variety of luxurious goods made by this culture, from a gold-and-garnet dagger to a cast-iron Buddha to jade jewelry, among other examples held at the Gyeongju National Museum in South Korea.

6. The Indus
The Indus is the largest-known ancient urban culture, with the people's land stretching from the Indus River in modern-day Pakistan to the Arabian Sea and the Ganges in India. The Indus civilization persisted for thousands of years, emerging around 3300 B.C. and declining by about 1600 B.C.
The Indus, also known as the Harappans, developed sewage and drainage systems for their cities, built impressive walls and granaries, and produced artifacts like pottery and glazed beads. They even had dental care: Scientistsfound 11 drilled molars from adults who lived between 7,500 to 9,000 years ago in the Indus Valley, according to a study published in 2006 in the journal Nature. A 2012 study suggested that climatic change weakened monsoonal rains and dried up much of the Harappan territory, forcing the civilization togradually disband and migrate to wetter climes.

5. The Sanxingdui
The Sanxingdui were a Bronze Age culture that thrived in what is now China's Sichuan Province. A farmer first discovered artifacts from the Sanxingdui in 1929; excavations in the area in 1986 revealed complex jade carvings and bronze sculptures 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall.
But who were the Sanxingdui? Despite the evidence of the culture's artistic abilities, no one really knows. They were prolific makers of painted bronze-and-gold-foil masks that some archaeologists believe may have represented gods or ancestors, according to the Sanxingdui Museum in China. The Sanxingdui site shows evidence of abandonment about 2,800 or 3,000 years ago, and another ancient city, Jinsha, discovered nearby, shows evidence that maybe the Sanxingdui moved there. In 2014, researchers at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union argued that at around this time, a major earthquake and landslide redirected the Minjiang River, which would have cut Sanxingdui off from water and forced a relocation.

4. The Nok
The mysterious and little-known Nok culture lasted from around 1000 B.C. to A.D. 300 in what is today northern Nigeria. Evidence of the Nok was discovered by chance during a tin-mining operation in 1943, according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Miners uncovered a terra-cotta head, hinting at a rich sculptural tradition. Since then, other elaborate terra-cotta sculptures have emerged, including depictions of people wearing elaborate jewelry and carrying batons and flails — symbols of authority also seen in ancient Egyptian art, according to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Other sculptures show people with diseases such as elephantiasis, the Met said.
Contributing to the mystery surrounding the Nok, the artifacts have often been removed from their context without archaeological analysis. In 2012, the United States returned a cache of Nok figurines to Nigeria after they were stolen from Nigeria's national museum and smuggled into the U.S.

3. The Etruscans
The Etruscans had a thriving society in northern Italy from about 700 B.C. to about 500 B.C., when they began to be absorbed by the Roman Republic. They developed a unique written language and left behind luxurious family tombs, including one belonging to a prince that was first excavated in 2013.
Etruscan society was a theocracy, and their artifacts suggest that religious ritual was a part of daily life. The oldest depiction of childbirth in Western art — a goddess squatting to give birth — was found at the Etruscan sanctuary of Poggio Colla. At the same site, archaeologists found a 4-foot by 2-foot (1.2 by 0.6 meters) sandstone slab containing rare engravings in the Etruscanlanguage. Few examples of written Etruscan survive. Another Etruscan site, Poggio Civitate, was a square complex surrounding a courtyard. It was the largest building in the Mediterranean at its time, said archaeologists who haveexcavated more than 25,000 artifacts from the site.

2. The Land of Punt
Some cultures are known mostly through the records of other cultures. That's the case with the mysterious land of Punt, a kingdom somewhere in Africa that traded with the ancient Egyptians. The two kingdoms were exchanging goods from at least the 26th century B.C., during the reign of the pharaoh Khufu (the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza).
Strangely, no one really knows where Punt was located. The Egyptians left plenty of descriptions of the goods they got from Punt (gold, ebony, myrrh) and the seafaring expeditions they sent to the lost kingdom. However, the Egyptians are frustratingly mum on where all these voyages were headed. Scholars have suggested that Punt may have been in Arabia, or on the Horn of Africa, or maybe down the Nile River at the border of modern-day South Sudan and Ethiopia.

1. The Bell-Beaker Culture
You know a culture is obscure when archaeologists name it based on its artifacts alone. The Bell-Beaker culture made pottery vessels shaped like upside-down bells. The makers of these distinctive drinking cups lived across Europe between about 2800 B.C. and 1800 B.C. They also left behind copper artifacts and graves, including a cemetery of 154 graves located in the modern-day Czech Republic.
The Bell-Beakers were also responsible for some of the construction at Stonehenge, researchers have found: These people likely arranged the site's small bluestones, which originated in Wales.
One of the greatest burdens that UFO investigators have to bear, in the course of their collecting and investigating sighting reports submitted by members of the public, is the deluge of apparently false reports and cases of mistaken identity that have to
MUFON investigator Peter Davenport
MUFON, based in the USA, is the world's largest organisation dedicated to the investigation of alien abductions and UFO sightings and footage.
But the organisation has previously admitted that it does get inundated with hoax footage by pranksters and other individuals, which in some cases have to undergo initial assessment, tying up investigators.
The organisation accepts that this is one of the pitfalls of being an organisation dedicated to such research.
MUFON investigator Peter Davenport said on the website: "One of the greatest burdens that UFO investigators have to bear, in the course of their collecting and investigating sighting reports submitted by members of the public, is the deluge of apparently false reports and cases of mistaken identity that have to be waded through, and eliminated from, the stream of incoming data.
"What prompts people to create and submit bogus reports is unclear, save for the apparently widespread lack of self-discipline, and lack of concern for others, that seems all too common in mankind.
"However, the fact remains that such deception takes place constantly, and that it probably will continue in ufology, and elsewhere, until long after we have finally laid to rest the mystery of UFOs."

GOVERNMENT CHIEF'S DEATH BED CONFESSION: 'I was shown inside alien UFO at Area 51'
GOVERNMENT CHIEF'S DEATH BED CONFESSION: 'I was shown inside alien UFO at Area 51'
A FORMER government emergency expert made a detailed death bed confession of how he was shown inside an alien flying saucer at the top-secret Area 51 military base, it has been sensationally claim
Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian Minister of Defencem, said an unnamed former Canadian Chief of Emergency Measures revealed the astonishing story just before his death from a neurological illness.
Mr Hellyer, 92, revealed the claim to a panel of the world's top UFO and alien investigators and experts.
Speaking at the "Hearing on ET Disclosure” in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, Mr Hellyer explained that if he wanted to know about the workings of an alien space craft he would "ask the current chief of emergency measures".
Mr Hellyer, who became a UFO expert after claiming to have seen proof of alien visitations while in office, said: "The reason I know is I interviewed the previous one, who is now deceased, and he went Langley and the CIA asked if he would like to see one of these crafts.
"They flew him to Area 51 and let him go inside one and observe it and make notes and this sort of thing."
Conspiracy theorists have insisted for years Area 51 is where evidence of alien visitations of Earth are secretly held away from public view, including the remains of the alleged 1947 Roswell flying saucer crash.
Mr Hellyer added: "I guess, presumably, it was to be in better to cops with it if one crashed here and he was involved in trying to do something positive about it.
"But before he was allowed to go had to go he had to sign an oath of secrecy and not tell anyone, and during his life he didn't tell anyone including his wife, and an Air Force buddy phoned me and he was dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease and at that point he felt he should tell someone.
GETTY
Paul Hellyer said the dying official confirmed he was shown inside alien technology at Area 51.
They flew him to Area 51 and let him go inside one and observe it and make notes and this sort of thing.
Paul Hellyer
"I phoned him and he gave me a full report of what he saw and the whole idea of the inside of the craft and this sort of thing, and the fact he had been in a brief and many things, but now he felt he could tell somebody and he thought that would be a good one to tell."
Mr Hellyer was Canadian Minister of Defence from 1963 to 1968 and was deputy prime minister in 1969, but outed himself as a UFO believer 11 years ago.
He told a TV news interview that some of the aliens lived on one of Saturn's moons called Andromedia.
But sceptics claim he was deluded and to have debunked him because none of Saturn's 62 moons and satellites have this name.
Victor Viggiani, who chaired the hearing, said: "The more important and dramatic piece of evidence presented by Hellyer was a story he told about the day he was called to listen to some death bed confession.
"Paul did not provide dates for the events but he received a call from a man who said that the former head of emergency measures in Canada and that he has a story he wanted to get off his chest."

Hoge Canadese ambtenaar onthult op sterfbed: “Ik ben in Area 51 in een buitenaards schip geweest”
Hoge Canadese ambtenaar onthult op sterfbed: “Ik ben in Area 51 in een buitenaards schip geweest”
Een voormalige Canadese overheidsfunctionaris heeft op zijn sterfbed gezegd dat hij in een buitenaardse vliegende schotel is geweest in Area 51. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
De Canadese oud-minister van Defensie Paul Hellyer zei dat de anonieme man, die de leiding had over een afdeling die over noodmaatregelen gaat, zijn verhaal deelde vlak voordat hij stierf aan de gevolgen van een neurologische ziekte.
Geheimhoudingsverklaring
“Tijdens een interview zei de man dat de CIA hem had gevraagd of hij één van deze schepen van binnen wilde bekijken,” zei Hellyer. “Ze vlogen hem naar Area 51, waar hij vervolgens aantekeningen maakte.”
“Voordat hij er naartoe ging moest hij een geheimhoudingsverklaring ondertekenen,” vervolgde hij. “Hij sprak er met niemand over, zelfs niet met zijn vrouw. Toen hij ontdekte dat hij ALS had en stervende was, besloot hij alles te vertellen.”
80 soorten
Al jaren wordt gezegd dat Area 51 de plek is waar bewijs voor buitenaards bezoek wordt bewaard, waaronder de resten van een vliegende schotel die in 1947 bij Roswell zou zijn gecrasht. In 2013 erkende de Amerikaanse overheid het bestaan van de basis.
Hellyer was tussen 1963 en 1968 minister van Defensie en werd in 1969 vicepremier van Canada. Recentelijk claimde hij dat 80 verschillende buitenaardse soorten communiceren met wereldleiders, maar dat overheden betrokken zijn bij een cover-up.
Iedere 3.600 jaar komt er een minizonnestelsel in de buurt van onze aarde met alle gevolgen van dien.
Het is dan ook geen toeval dat een dode vulkaan naast de stad Rome na 36.000 jaar plotseling weer rommelend tot leven komt.
Op ongeveer 20 kilometer afstand van de Italiaanse hoofdstad Rome ligt een bergachtig gebied met de naam Colli Albani oftewel de Albaanse heuvels.
Het zijn de restanten van een dode vulkaan, tenminste een waarvan met altijd dacht dat deze dood was. Nu echter komt deze oeroude vuurspuwer plotseling weer tot leven tot grote verbazing van de wetenschap.
Laat dat nu toevallig precies tien keer 3600 cycli zijn, wat weer gelijk is aan de elliptische omloopbaan van het mini zonnestelsel Nibiru.
Nu is niet iedere passage van dit zonnestelsel iedere keer even heftig en zullen de gevolgen ook iedere keer anders zijn. Maar, het feit dat deze vulkaan in Rome na 36.000 weer tot leven komt zou je dan ook kunnen uitleggen dat de komende passage wel eens een heftige zou kunnen zijn.
Diezelfde wetenschap die hier met verbazing naar kijkt weet ons ook te vertellen dat het nog wel 1.000 jaar kan durenvoordat deze werkelijk uitbarst. We zullen dat maar even niet al te serieus nemen, want in werkelijkheid hebben ze geen flauw idee.
Wat er onder andere de laatste keer gebeurde dat Niburu voorbij kwam, blijkt uit een aantal dingen zoals wij schreven in een eerder artikel:
Zoals bekend, wordt er alles aan gedaan om het bestaan van een vreemde planeet in ons zonnestelsel (Nibiru of ook wel Planet X) zo lang mogelijk verborgen te houden.
Dit heeft alles te maken dat de elite niet wil dat de wereld in paniek raakt waardoor zij niet meer op tijd in hun schuilplaatsen zouden kunnen komen.
De beste aanwijzingen voor wat ons te wachten staat, kunnen waarschijnlijk worden gevonden in de geschiedenis, of beter gezegd de archeologie en geologie.
Zo heeft onder andere geologisch onderzoek in Groenland uitgewezen dat er ongeveer iedere 3600 jaar dramatische gebeurtenissen op aarde plaatsvinden. Heftige aardveranderingen die vaak zijn ontstaan als gevolg van een inslag van een meteoriet.
Het betreft geen eenmalige gebeurtenissen, maar cycli die met de regelmaat van de klok iedere 3600 keer terug keren.
Het is nu ongeveer 3600 jaar geleden dat de laatste keer dit soort grote rampen plaatsvonden op aarde.
De Minoïsche uitbarsting is een enorme vulkaanuitbarsting die zich in de Minoïsche tijd op Thera heeft voorgedaan. Dendrochronologisch en ander onderzoek situeert deze gebeurtenis tussen 1650 en 1600 v.Chr.
Derinkuyu is een onderaardse stad in het district Derinkuyu in de provincie Nevşehir in Turkije. De onderaardse stad is volgens archeologen 3500 jaar oud en bood plaats aan ongeveer 35.000 tot 50.000 mensen.
Iedere 3600 jaar doen zich klaarblijkelijk heftige periodes op aarde voor. Waarbij het op onze planeet tekeer gaat en we te maken schijnen te krijgen met inslagen van meteorieten die rampzalige gevolgen hebben.
De bekende tien plagen uit de Bijbel verwijzen waarschijnlijk ook naar gebeurtenissen die verband hielden met de vorige passage van Nibiru.
De tien plagen van Egypte zijn mogelijk te verklaren aan de hand van natuurrampen die ruim 3000 jaar geleden hebben plaatsgevonden. Dat beweren Duitse wetenschappers.
De plagen bestonden uit verschillende rampen zoals het water van de Nijl dat in bloed veranderde, hevige vuurstormen en drie dagen duisternis.
Niet de laatste passage van Nibiru, maar de keer daarvoor is waarschijnlijk verantwoordelijk voor de alom bekendezondvloed. We praten dan over een periode rond 5100 voor Christus.
Hoe heftig de komende passage van de planeet Nibiru zal worden en wanneer die precies komt, weten wij niet.
Wat we wel hebben, zijn de voorspellingen van één van meest betrouwbare profeten die ooit op aarde heeft rondgelopen en dat is de bekende Edgar Cayce.
Navolgnd een deel uit een eerder artikel met wat informatie over Edgar Cayce en de top tien van zijn voorspellingen die nog niet zijn uitgekomen.
Een aantal daarvan heeft duidelijk betrekking op de passage van Nibiru en de gevolgen daarvan.
Voor diegenen die nog nooit van Edgar Cayce hebben gehoord:
De meest prominente ziener van de vorige eeuw is ongetwijfeld Edgar Cayce (1877- 1945). Hij is de best gedocumenteerde helderziende ooit. Edgar Cayce, beter bekend als de slapende profeet, heeft in totaal 14.306 ‘readings’ slapend uitgevoerd, in een veranderde bewustzijnstoestand, die allemaal nauwgezet gedocumenteerd zijn.
Edgar Cayce werd vooral beroemd om zijn medische ‘readings’, omdat hij met een bijna honderd procent nauwkeurigheid de diagnose kon stellen van het ziektebeeld van zijn patiënten. In de meeste gevallen kon hij zelfs de naam en het adres geven van de arts die ze het beste konden consulteren. En dit alles terwijl hij in een trancetoestand verkeerde en enkel en alleen de naam van de patiënt kende die hij zelf, meestal, nooit eerder ontmoet had.
In de nadagen van zijn carrière begon hij informatie door te geven over oude beschavingen - vooral over de Egyptische en Atlantische culturen - en hij voorspelde tevens toekomstige gebeurtenissen voor deze aarde die bekend zijn geworden als de ‘Earth Changes’. Edgar Cayce richtte zelf de ‘Association for Research and Enlightenment’ (A.R.E.)’ op om zijn erfenis te bewaren voor het nageslacht. Deze organisatie bestaat nog steeds en is zeer actief. Edgar Cayce is zeer uitvoerig bestudeerd en er zijn meer dan driehonderd boeken gewijd aan deze mystieke man.
Nog een vreemd toeval: Afgelopen week plaatsten wij een artikel waarin goed werd onderbouwd dat de Grote Piramide rond 9.500 voor Christus is bebouwd. Edgar Cayce heeft altijd gezegd dat de Grote Piramide rond 10.000 voor Christus werd gebouwd.
Hier volgen de top tien voorspellingen van Cayce die nog niet uitgekomen zijn. Vele mensen hebben deze gekoppeld aan het jaar 2012, maar dat hoeft uiteraard niet zo te zijn.
1) Het grootste deel van Europa zal in een oogwenk veranderen. Japan zal uiteindelijk in de zee verdwijnen.
2) Er zal nieuw land verschijnen voor de oostkust van Amerika (het oude Atlantis?).
3) Er zal een omkering van de polen komen, zodanig dat waar eens een koud klimaat heerste het warmer zal worden en waar subtropische zal het meer tropisch worden. Er zullen mos en varens groeien op plekken die we ons nu niet voor kunnen stellen.
4) Er zal een tijd komen waarop de zon donker wordt. Dit is het moment van een grote spirituele ontwaking. De stad Atlantis zal gevonden worden nabij Bimini (Bimini is een eilandengroep die deel uit maakt van de Bahama's. Deze liggen zo'n 80 km ten oosten van Miami Beach. Ook het 100 km zuidelijker gelegen eiland Cay Sal hoort bij het Bimini-district).
Men zal ontdekken dat er helende krachten aanwezig zijn in het water voor de kust van Bimini. Men zal de kracht ontdekken van kwartskristallen en de specifieke eigenschappen van kristal zoals het verhogen, het krachtiger maken en het synchroniseren van vele soorten energie, zoals licht en elektriciteit.
5) De archieven van Atlantis zullen toegankelijk zijn voor hen die spiritueel zijn ingewijd in de kennis van de ene God. Er zal een geheime kamer worden gevonden en het omhoog komen van de Tempel zorgt ervoor dat men toegang krijgt tot de archieven.
Toen men hem vroeg wat er zich dan in detail in die geheime kamer zou bevinden, antwoordde hij dat het gegevens bevat van het begin van Atlantis waar de Geest overging in vorm. De archieven beschrijven de eerste vernietiging die plaatsvond en de veranderingen van het land. Het is een soort dagboek wat vertelt over wat de mensen bezighield en hun diverse activiteiten in andere landen. En tevens is het een verslag van een vergadering van alle landen en naties. Het beschrijft de bouw van de Tempel van Inwijding. Cayce voorspelde dat Atlantis weer bovenwater zal komen.
6) Er zal een totaal nieuwe wetenschap worden ontwikkeld, met als uitgangspunt een psychische/spirituele basis. Er zal een verandering plaatsvinden in wat en hoe men gaat studeren. De wereld zal meer belang hechten aan het spirituele en minder aan het materiële aspect. Dit nieuwe gebied van de wetenschap zal net zo meetbaar en toegankelijk worden als ieder andere menselijke ervaring.
7) Er zal een “Stad van Goud” worden ontdekt in de Gobi woestijn (Noord India). Het heeft een tempel met liften, elektrische auto’s en magische elementen.
8) De oostkust van de Staat New York en de stad zelf als geheel, zullen verdwijnen.
9) De Amerikaanse westkust zal worden verwoest en er zal heel veel schade zijn in Los Angeles en San Francisco. Er zal land verschijnen voor de kust van West Amerika. De Grote Meren (op de grens van Amerika en Canada) zullen leeglopen in de Golf van Mexico via de Mississipi Rivier.
10) Cayce voorzag dat er een tijd komt dat alle mensen zich bewust zullen worden van hun verantwoordelijkheden ten opzichte van een ander. Deze bewustwording zal het hele denkproces van de mensheid veranderen.
Hij voorspelde tevens dat er drie ongekend belangrijke archeologische vondsten gedaan zullen worden die voor een revolutionaire ommezwaai zullen zorgen omtrent kennis over de oorsprong van de mens. Dit zal pas gebeuren wanneer de mens een hoger spiritueel bewustzijn heeft bereikt.
Na de geweldige veranderingen op aarde breekt er een nieuw tijdperk aan van vrede en verlichting voor de mensheid. En als laatste spreekt hij over een krachtig verenigd energieveld, dat op een goede dag zal zorgen voor een sprong in het menselijk bewustzijn.
De kaart van Europa zoals het er na de overstromingen volgens Edgar Cayce uit zal zien, geeft wat ons land en België betreft nu niet bepaald een vrolijk beeld.
Maar, wie weet, mogen wij wel terug naar Atlantis.

UFO Over New York City, Recorded From Freeway, On July 17, 2016, Video UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 17, 2016 Location of sighting: New York City, USA This is a cool video from NYC that shows a dark object moving slowly over the buildings. The object is hard to make out, but does look about the size of city bus, so yeah, it would be hard to miss. It was reported to SecureTeam10 of Youtube and should have been noticed by other eyewitnesses in the area. If you or someone you know has seen this, please let us know in comments below. Scott C.

Glowing Purple UFO Over Cumberland County, Maine - July 4, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 4, 2016 Location of sighting: Cumberland County, Main, USA News source: MUFON #77585 This object has all the features of a true UFO and does not resemble a drone or other aircraft. Its purple hue is unusual, but the fact is that in many UFO reports, even by police officers, eyewitnesses have seen UFOs turn multiple colors of the spectrum in seconds. So, the fact it changes colors only makes it more possible that this is a real UFO. Often non UFO researchers will get that backwards. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states:
1. I was in my home with my wife and teenage son. We all saw the object high in the sky and we filmed the object using 60x HD camcorder.
2. My wife looked out the window and saw an object with bright light high in the sky.
3. We thought the object could be a sophisticate, large drone, possibly military. However when we reviewed the video at the end frame by frame it appears to spin and then disappear.
4. The object hovered stationary for several minutes. Using my HD video camera zoomed in at 60x I could see an A fram shape for each structure, a red and green light in the middle, and 3 bright white lights on top. It began spinning and then disappeared as shown frame by frame on the video. It returned a few minutes later in the same location but facing a different direction. It hovered stationary again and then disappeared. The video zoom did not resolve well but the object appeared to change color all at once to red before it disappeared.
5. We were excited to see the object even if it turns out to be just a drone. My wife posted the video clip to her facebook account and friends were shocked. Some said it was just a drone, but other did not.
6. We lost sight of the object because it disappeared. Please see the video clip as it is all there. I have 4 videos total but have processed only 1 to remove the audio and clip just the best section to reduce file size. The sequence of the video is continuous and has not been modified. Please contact me if you think this is a UFO or just a drone.

Aliens Apparently Crash Meteorites into a Bosnian Man’s House
Aliens Apparently Crash Meteorites into a Bosnian Man’s House
Radivoje Lajić
There are millions of meteorites entering the Earth’s atmosphere every day and most of them burn out prior reaching the ground. A few percentage manage to hit the ground, but very little chance to get into someone’s living room. The reason it is very strange or close to impossible that multiple meteorites struck the same area in a short period. However, a man living in a village in northern Bosnia claim that six meteorites crash through his roof in less than a year.
Radivoje Lajic was in his home in the Bosnian village of Gornji sleeping when a loud noise awakened him during one evening in November 2007. The first that came to his mind were memories of the recent war that brought so much chaos in their country. However, the rest of the night stayed silent and later, Lajic found the culprit. It was a space rock that caused a hole in his roof. Lajic has been aware that things like this do happen. He did not expect it would be the first of six crashes into his household.
Gornji, Bosnia
Four more meteorites hit his property over the next several months, prompting Lajic to reinforce his roof with steel girders. These series of incidents came to a stop in April 2008, only to be back again in the summer of 2010 when another meteorite hit his Gornji home. Since then, Radivoje Lajic has been suspecting of an extraterrestrial attack that intentionally targeted him.
There have been suggestions that the nearby Bosnian Pyramids could provide an explanation to Lajic’s case. The pyramids are believed to exert geomagnetic or gravitational disturbance, which could probably disrupt the natural trajectory of meteorites and somehow attract them to the area, not necessarily crashing on the pyramids, but landing nearby.
Bosnian Pyramids are located in the city of Visoko, less than 30 miles in a straight line from Gornji. They are a group of controversial structures. Many believe that these pyramids are artificial in nature and might be the oldest pyramids ever discovered.
According to archaeologists, the Bosnian Pyramids could be at least 24,800 years old, much older than the Egyptian ones. An unknown ancient civilization might have built them using advanced technology to erect a 722 foot-tall edifice.
10 images that prove Puma Punku was built by an extremely advanced ancient Civilization
10 images that prove Puma Punku was built by an extremely advanced ancient Civilization
Here we have 10 mind-boggling images of Puma Punku which prove that this ancient site was built by an extremely advanced ancient Civilization.
Puma Punku is without a doubt one of the most mysterious places you can travel to in South America. Located in Bolivia, this ancient megalithic site has challenged archeologists and researchers for decades, who have tried effortlessly to explain how this incredible ancient site was erected by man thousands of years ago, ‘without the use of advanced technology and tools.’
#PumaPunkuFact: Among the largest stone block found at Puma Punku is a megalithic piece 7.81 meters long, 5.17 meters wide, averaging 1.07 meters in thickness, and is estimated to weigh about 131 metric tons. The second largest stone block found within the Puma Punku area is believed to be a giant piece of rock of 7.90 meters in length, 2.50 meters in width, and averages 1.86 meters in thickness. Its weight has been estimated to be 85.21 metric tons.
Many people firmly believe that this isn’t the case and that this ancient megalithic site was, in fact, built by an extremely sophisticated ancient civilization which inhabited the region in the distant past, challenging mainstream views on history which state that advanced civilizations did not inhabit the area in the distant past.
Many people firmly agree that the biggest mystery involving Puma Punku is, how ancient mankind managed to transport these huge blocks of stone from quarries within 10 to 100 km. The greater question is how they managed to cut precisely and stack the megalithic stone after transportation. Engineers and constructors around the world today cannot answer nor replicate these achievements done by ancient mankind thousands of years ago.
Another puzzling mystery at Puma Punku is the assembly of the walls, the famous H blocks of Bolivia. Each stone was finely cut to interlock with the surrounding stones and the blocks fit together like a puzzle, forming load-bearing joints without the use of mortar. The precision challenges today’s engineering abilities and mainstream researchers firmly believe all of this was achieved without the use of advanced tools and sophisticated technology. However, the structures alone, and their elaborate design and precision points towards a sophisticated ancient civilization.
Similar megalithic sites are found all over the planet from Asia, Mexico to Egypt. Is it possible that incredible ancient sites like Puma Punku, Tiwanaku, the Pyramids of Giza, and Teotihuacan in Mexico were all built with the use of stone tools and without the wheel? What if ancient mankind used “other” technologies that are completely unknown to our society today? Would mainstream scholar accept that they were wrong? Would it be easy to rewrite history as we know it?
Puma Punku is without a doubt one of the most mysterious places on this planet, and it is located near Tiahuanaco, less than a quarter-mile northeast of Puma Punku. Scientists believe Tiahuanaco was once the center of civilization with more than 40,000 inhabitants. Tiahuanaco is probably the greatest Native American civilization that many people haven’t heard of.
We firmly believe that in the distant past, advanced ancient civilizations inhabited the planet. These sophisticated societies had advanced technology and incredible knowledge which is why ancient mankind had the ability to erect ancient sites such as Puma Punku, Tiahuanaco, the Pyramids of Giza, and Teotihuacan among others. This, however, is a theory firmly rejected by mainstream scholars who oppose the idea that such advanced civilizations existed on Earth at a time when they say primitive man inhabited our planet.
Here we have 10 mind-boggling images of Puma Punku which prove that the builders of this ancient site were an extremely sophisticated and advanced cultures that inhabited the region at a time when mainstream scholars say primitive man roamed the land.
Physicists Send Particles Of Light Into The Past, Proving Time Travel Is Possible?
Physicists Send Particles Of Light Into The Past, Proving Time Travel Is Possible?
Scientists from the University of Queensland, Australia, have used single particles of light (photons) to simulate quantum particles travelling through time. They showed that one photon can pass through a wormhole and then interact with its older self. Their findings were published in Nature Communications.
The source of this time travel conundrum comes from what are called “closed timelike curves” (CTC). CTCs are used to simulate extremely powerful gravitational fields, like the ones produced by a spinning black hole, and could, theoretically (based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity), warp the fabric of existence so that spacetime bends back on itself – thus creating a CTC, almost like a path that could be used to travel back in time.
According to Scientific American, many physicists find CTCs “abhorrent, because any macroscopic object traveling through one would inevitably create paradoxes where cause and effect break down.” Others disagree with this assessment, however; in 1991, physicist David Deutsch showed that these paradoxes (created by CTCs) could be avoided at the quantum scale because of the weird behaviour of these fundamental particles that make up what we call matter.
It’s well known that at the quantum scale, these particles do not follow the rules that govern classical mechanics, but behave in strange and unexpected ways that really shouldn’t even be possible.
Welcome to the world of Quantum physics, where pioneering Physicist Niels Bohr once said, “if quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet.”
“We choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery.” – Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate of the twentieth century (Radin, Dean. Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences In A Quantum Reality. New York, Paraview Pocket Books, 2006.)
In the quantum world, paradoxes that we don’t understand are common findings, but this should not deter people from taking this science seriously. Even Einstein didn’t believe a lot of quantum theory, but I’d like to think that if he were alive today, he would definitely be having some fun, given all of the recent breakthroughs.
“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)
The Experiment
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. 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 that black budget science has.
Think in terms of the ‘grandfather paradox,’ a hypothetical scenario where someone uses a CTC to travel back through time to cause harm to their grandfather, thus preventing their later birth. Now imagine a particle going back in time to flip a switch on the particle-generating machine that created it – this is a possibility that these physicists say they have shown through their simulation.
You can read the specifics of the experiment here.
Why This Is A High Probability
In my opinion, there is no doubt time travel is possible. Why do I believe this? Well, it’s because we know one hundred percent that superposition is real on a quantum scale.
“The maddening part of that problem is that the ability of particles to exist in two places at once is not a mere theoretical abstraction. It is a very real aspect of how the subatomic world works, and it has been experimentally confirmed many times over.” (source)
“One of the supreme mysteries of nature… is the ability, according to the quantum mechanic laws that govern subatomic affairs, of a particle like an electron to exist in a murky state of possibility — to be anywhere, everywhere or nowhere at all — until clicked into substantiality by a laboratory detector or an eyeball.” (New York Times)
This means that one particle can exist in multiple states at one time. This is best demonstrated by the quantum double slit experiment. Recent experiments have also confirmed quantum entanglement, showing that space is really just a construct that gives the illusion of separation. One thing that suggests there is a high probably of time travel, in conjunction with the experiment mentioned in this article, is the fact that there are experiments showing that particles can actually be entangled through time.
This is illustrated by what is called the ‘delayed choice experiment.’
Like the quantum double slit experiment, the delayed choice/quantum eraser has been demonstrated and repeated time and time again. For example, physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) have successfully conducted John Wheeler’s delayed-choice thought experiment. Their findings were recently published in the journal Nature Physics. (source)
In 2007 (Science 315, 966, 2007), scientists in France shot photons into an apparatus and showed that their actions could retroactively change something which had already happened.
This particular experiment illustrates how what happens in the present can change what happened in the past. It also shows how time can go backwards, how cause and effect can be reversed, and how the future caused the past.
“If we attempt to attribute an objective meaning to the quantum state of a single system, curious paradoxes appear: quantum effects mimic not only instantaneous action-at-a-distance, but also, as seen here, influence of future actions on past events, even after these events have been irrevocably recorded.” – Asher Peres, pioneer in quantum information theory (source)(source)(source)
Although we do not have access to a CTC quite yet, there are good reasons to believe that this type of time travel is possible at the quantum mechanical level, and that is why I chose to mention these other experiments, to show that ‘time’ doesn’t even really exist as we think it does.
You can access an excellent description of the delayed choice experiment using a cosmic scale explanation here, which makes it easier to understand.
Why these same quantum mechanical laws have not been observed on the macroscopic level is yet to be understood, but physicists are working on the problem. For example, in 2012 physicists David Wineland and Serge Haroche received the Nobel Prize in physics for demonstrating how “quantum weirdness” could not only exist at the subatomic micro-world level, but also show itself in the macro-world. At one time, superposition was only thought to exist in the inaccessible quantum world, but not anymore. We know it’s possible, we just haven’t figured out how. We do, however, seem to be getting closer to finding out. (source) (source)
Perhaps one day, we will have determined the key to this puzzle and be able to observe large objects like cars, humans, apples, and oranges behave in the ways that matter does on a subatomic level, and perhaps one day we will find a wormhole, or a CTC in space, to conduct actual experiments that go beyond theory. That being said, a lot of what used to be considered theoretical in quantum physics is no longer theoretical, like quantum entanglement.
Hacker says NASA is editing out UFOs from the videos before releasing them
Hacker says NASA is editing out UFOs from the videos before releasing them
This hacker believes that NASA blanks out UFO images before releasing videos to the public
Meet Gary McKinnon who thinks that NASA is editing out the parts of UFO appearances in the videos it releases to the public and it has been doing so for years. He is a avid UFO watcher and has faced a 10-year fight against extradition to the US after breaking into computer databases of NASA, US military and the Pentagon.
According to McKinnon, NASA and the US government has known for years we are being regularly monitored by UFOs from far-flung galaxies. But it believes that the general public wont be able handle the truth, or it would lead to the breakdown of religion and society and it has been successfully withheld the information by covering it up.
According to McKinnon, NASA and the US government has known for years we are being regularly monitored by UFOs from far-flung galaxies. But it believes that the general public wont be able handle the truth, or it would lead to the breakdown of religion and society and it has been successfully withheld the information by covering it up.
McKinnon says that his interest in UFO’s and NASA coverup built up after former NASA contractor Donna Hare went whistleblower in November 2000 with claims that NASA staff digitally edited out UFOs from satellite pictures before they were released, from Building eight of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
To prove whether Hare was right or wrong, McKinnon hacked into computer databases of NASA, there US military and the Pentagon, from his girlfriend’s aunt’s home in London. McKinnon said their security was so lapse he was able to regularly gain access to entire databases for between 18 months and two years.
First, while scouring US Navy databases, McKinnon stumbled across a file containing a list of “non-terrestrial officers” with their ranks and names and a separate file of “material transfers between ships”.
Mr McKinnon believes he may have found confidential evidence of a secret space base. McKinnon has released 4 videos based on his findings.
When asked if non-terrestrial officers could mean something else such as this or astronauts, McKinnon added: “It could be up to you how you interpret them.”
The other evidence uncovered by McKinnon was while trawling the 255 computers of building eight at the Johnson Space Center. He said: “There were image databases with roll one: filtered or processed and unprocessed. They were 200-odd megabytes each. I had full remote control of the desktop.”
He said he started to download an image, but it was extremely slow, and he only got half to 2/3rds of the way down before being rumbled. McKinnon added: “It was the hemisphere of a planet I assume was Earth. It was cloudy, but there was the classic cigar-shape (UFO).” McKinnon said he took a screen grab, but then saw the cursor move separately to his mouse movements, before the connection was lost, and he was unable to retrieve the image from the clipboard.
He was arrested soon after before a highly publicised battle against extradition from 2002 to 2012, during which, in 2008, he was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome – a form of autism that may have affected his behaviour. He was accused by the US government of costing it $700,000 and hacking for more sinister reasons than trying to discover if the truth was out there.
This was amid claims he deleted critical files, shut down the US Army’s 2,000-computer Washington network for 24 hours and paralysed munitions supplies to the US Navy.
Hundreds of physicists and astronomers worked for five years to build the largest, most precise, three-dimensional map ever, charting how dark energy competed with dark matter in shaping the expansion of the universe. The map covers 1.2 million galaxies.
THE LARGEST MAP EVER
It took hundreds of physicists and astronomers five years to construct the largest-ever, most precise, three-dimensional map of distant galaxies that charts the dark energy propelling the accelerated expansion of the universe.
Project co-leader Jeremy Tinker from New York University says: “We have spent five years collecting measurements of 1.2 million galaxies over one quarter of the sky to map out the structure of the Universe over a volume of 650 cubic billion light years.”
The results of the project has been published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. “This map has allowed us to make the best measurements yet of the effects of dark energy in the expansion of the Universe. We are making our results and map available to the world,” Tinker adds.
Consistent with the calculations of general relativity, the galaxies were observed drifting towards areas of the universe with more matter—thus more gravitational pull.
Shirley Ho, an astrophysicist at Berkeley Lab and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) who co-led two of the companion papers says the data they gathered will pave the way towards more accurate measurements: “We can now measure how much the galaxies and stars cluster together as a function of time to such an accuracy we can test General Relativity at cosmological scales,” she says.
THE BATTLE OF ENIGMAS
On top of the fact that we currently do not know what exactly dark energy and dark matter are, the team also had to decipher between the two in their measurements. Thanks to the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) program of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III, measurement of the rate at which the universe expands was made possible, which led them to measure the amount of dark matter and dark energy which our present universe is made of.
By determining the size of the baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the three-dimensional distribution of galaxies, BOSS can measure the expansion rate of the Universe. Galaxy distribution was measured starting from 13.7996 billion years ago, 400,000 years from the time the universe is believed to have started—a time when pressure waves are known to have travelled throughout the cosmos.
From that point on, astronomers were able to observe the competition between dark matter and dark energy in controlling the universe’s expansion.
“We’ve made the largest map for studying the 95% of the universe that is dark,” says David Schlegel, astrophysicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and principal investigator for BOSS. “In this map, we can see galaxies being gravitationally pulled towards other galaxies by dark matter. And on much larger scales, we see the effect of dark energy ripping the universe apart.”
Rita Tojeiro of the University of St. Andrews, who co-led the BOSS galaxy clustering working group alongside Tinker outlines how this is a milestone for cosmology: “We see a dramatic connection between the sound wave imprints seen in the cosmic microwave background 400,000 years after the Big Bang to the clustering of galaxies 7-12 billion years later. The ability to observe a single well-modeled physical effect from recombination until today is a great boon for cosmology.”
“The results from BOSS provide a solid foundation for even more precise future BAO measurements, such as those we expect from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI),” says Natalie Roe, Physics Division director at Berkeley Lab. “DESI will construct a more detailed 3-dimensional map in a volume of space ten times larger to precisely characterize dark energy — and ultimately the future of our universe.”
If new rocket engines being developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) are successful, they could revolutionize rocket technology and change the way we get to space. The engine, called the Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE), is designed to use atmospheric air in the early flight stages, before switching to conventional rocket mode for the final ascent to space. If all goes well, this new air-breathing rocket could be ready for test firings in about four years.
Conventional rockets have to carry an on-board oxidizer such as liquid oxygen, which is combined with fuel in the rocket’s combustion chamber. This means rockets can require in excess of 250 tons of liquid oxygen in order to function. Once this oxygen is consumed in the first stages, these used up stages are discarded, creating massive waste and expense. (Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing re-usable rockets to help circumvent this problem, but they’re still conventional rockets.)
Conventional rockets carry their own oxygen because its temperature and pressure can be controlled. This guarantees the performance of the rocket, but requires complicated systems to do so. SABRE will eliminate the need for carrying most on-board oxygen, but this is not easy to do.
SABRE’s challenge is to compress the atmospheric oxygen to about 140 atmospheres before introducing it into the engine’s combustion chambers. But compressing the oxygen to that degree raises its temperature so much that it would melt the engines. The solution to that is to cool the air with a pre-cooling heat exchanger, to the point where it’s almost a liquid. At that point, a turbine based on standard jet engine technology can compress the air to the required operating temperature.
This means that while SABRE is in Earth’s atmosphere, it uses air to burn its hydrogen fuel, rather than liquid oxygen. This gives it an 8 x improvement in propellant consumption. Once SABRE has reached about 25 km in altitude, where the air is thinner, it switches modes and operates as a standard rocket. By the time it switches modes, it’s already about 20% of the way into Earth orbit.
Like a lot of engineering challenges, understanding what needs to be done is not the hard part. Actually developing these technologies is extremely difficult, even though many people just assume engineers will be successful. The key for Reaction Engines Ltd, the company developing SABRE, is to develop the light weight heat exchangers at the heart of the engine.
Heat exchangers are common in industry, but these heat exchangers have to cool incoming air from 1000 Celsius to -150 Celsius in less than 1/100th of a second, and they have to do it while preventing frost from forming. They are extremely light, at about 100 times lighter than current technology, which will allow them to be used in aerospace for the first time. Some of the lightness factor of these new heat exchanges stems from the wall thickness of the tubing, which is less than 30 microns. That’s less than the thickness of a human hair.
Reaction Engines Limited says that these heat exchangers will have the same impact on aerospace propulsion systems that silicone chips had on computing.
A new funding agreement with the ESA will provide Reaction Engines with 10 million Euros for continued development of SABRE. This will add to the 50 million Pounds that the UK Space Agency has already contributed. That 50 million Pound investment was the result of a favorable viability review of SABRE that the ESA performed in 2010.
In 2012 the pre-cooler, a vital component of SABRE, was successfully tested at Reaction Engines facility in Oxfordshire, UK.
Image: ESA/Reaction Engines
IN 2012, the pre-cooler and the heat exchangers were tested. After that came more R&D, including the development of altitude-compensating rocket nozzles, thrust chamber cooling, and air intakes.
Now that the feasibility of SABRE has been strengthened, Reaction Engines wants to build a ground demonstrator engine by 2020. If the continued development of SABRE goes well, and if testing by 2020 is successful, then these Air Breathing rocket engines will be in a position to truly revolutionize access to space.
In ESA’s words, “ESA are confident that a ground test of a sub-scale engine can be successfully performed to demonstrate the flight regime and cycle and will be a critical milestone in the development of this program and a major breakthrough in propulsion worldwide.”

A PLANET WITH A 27,000 YEAR ORBIT & THAT’S JUST WHERE THE STRANGENESS BEGINS
Every planet in the Solar System has its own peculiar orbit, and these vary considerably. Whereas planet Earth takes 365.25 days to complete a single orbit about our Sun, Mars takes almost twice as long – 686.971 days. Then you have Jupiter and the other gas giants, which take between 11.86 and 164.8 years to orbit our Sun. But even with these serving as examples, astronomers were not prepared for what they found when they looked atCVSO 30.
This star system, which lies some 1200 light years from Earth, has been found in recent years to have two candidate exoplanets. These planets, which are many times the mass of Jupiter, were discovered by an international team of astronomers using both the Transit Method and Direct Imaging. And what they found was very interesting: one planet has an orbital period of less than 11 days while the other takes a whopping 27,000 years to orbit its parent star!
In addition to being a big surprise, the detection of these two planets using different methods was an historic achievement. Up until now, the vast majority of the over 2,000 exoplanets discovered have been detected thanks to indirect methods. These include the aforementioned Transit Method, which detects planets by measuring the dimming effect they cause when crossing their parent star’s path, and the Radial Velocity Method, which measures the gravitational effect planets have on their parent star.
In 2012, astronomers used the Transit Method to detect CVSO 30b, a planet with 5 to 6 times the mass of Jupiter, and which orbits its star at a distance of only 1.2 million kilometers (by comparison, Mercury orbits our Sun at a distance of 58 million kilometers). From these characteristics, CVSO 30b can be described as a particularly “hot-Jupiter”.
In contrast, Direct Imaging has been used to spot only a few dozen exoplanets. The reason for this is because it is typically quite difficult to detect the light reflected by a planet’s atmosphere due it being drowned out by the light of its parent star. It can also be quite demanding when it comes to the instrument involved. Still, compared to indirect methods, it can be more effective when it comes to exploring the remote regions of a star.
Thanks to the efforts of an international team of astronomers, who combined the use of the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, and the Spanish National Research Council’s (CSIC) Calar Alto Observatory, CVSO 30c was spotted in remote regions around its parent star, orbiting at a distance of around 666 AU.
The details of the discovery were published in a paper titled “Direct Imaging discovery of a second planet candidate around the possibly transiting planet host CVSO 30“. In it, the researchers – who hail from such prestigious institutions as the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, the Jena Observatory, the European Space Agency and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy – explained the methods used to find the exoplanet, and the significance of its discovery.

As Tobias Schmidt – of the University of Hamburg, the Astrophysical Institute and University Observatory Jena, and the lead author of the paper – told Universe Today via email:
“[30b and 30c] are both unusual on their own. CVSO 30b is the first transiting planet around a star as young as 2.5 million years. Published in 2012, all previously detected transiting planets were older than few hundred million years… It has been a surprise to find a planetary mass companion at 662 AU, or 662 times the distance from Earth to the Sun, from a primary star having only about 0.4 solar masses. According to the standard model, planets form in disks around the star. But none of the observed disks around such low-mass stars is large enough to form such an object.”
In other words, it is surprising to find two exoplanet candidates with several times the mass of Jupiter (aka. Super-Jupiters) orbiting a star as small as CVSO 30. But to find two exoplanets with such a disparity in terms of their respective distance from their star (despite being similar in mass) was particularly surprising.
Relying on high-contrast photometric and spectroscopic observations from the Very Large Telescope, the Keck telescopes and the Calar Alto observatory, the international team was able to spot 30c using a technique known as lucky imaging. This process, which is used by ground-based telescopes, involves many high-speed, quick exposure photos being taken to minimize atmospheric interference.

What they found was an exoplanet with a wide orbit that was between 4 and 5 Jupiter masses, and was also very young – less than 10 million years old. What’s more, the spectroscopic data indicated that it is unusually blue for a planet, as most other planet candidates of its kind are very red. The researchers concluded from this that it is likely that 30c is the first young planet of its kind to be directly imaged.
They further concluded that 30 c is also likely the first “L-T transition object” younger than 10 million years to be found orbiting a star. L-T transition objects are a type of brown dwarf – objects that are too large to be considered planets, but too small to be considered stars. Typically they are found embedded in large clouds of gas and dust, or on their own in space.
Paired with its companion – 30 b, which is impossibly close to its parent star – 30 c is not believed to have formed at its current position, and is likely not stable in the long-term. At least, not where current models of planetary formation and orbit are concerned. However, as Prof. Schmidt indicated, this offers a potential explanation for the odd nature of these exoplanets.
“We do think this is a very good hint,” he said, “that the two objects might have formed regularly around the star at a separation comparable to Jupiter or Saturn’s separation from the Sun, then interacted gravitationally and were scattered to their current orbits. However this is still speculation, further investigations will try to prove this. Both have about the same mass of few Jupiter masses, the inner one might be even lower.”

The discovery is also significant since it was the first time that these two detection methods – Transit and Direct Imaging – were used to confirm exoplanet candidates around the same star. In this case, the methods were quite complimentary, and present opportunities to learn more about exoplanets.
As Professor Schmidt explained:
“Both Transit method and radial velocity method have problems finding planets around young stars, as the activity of young stars is disturbing the search for them. CVSO 30 b was the first very young planet found with these methods, currently a hand full of candidates exist. Direct imaging, on the other hand, is working best for young planets as they still contract and are thus self-luminous. It is therefore great luck that a far out planet was found around the very first young star hosting a inner planet…
“However, the real advantage of transit and direct imaging methods is that the two objects can now be investigated in greater detail. While we can use the direct light from the imaging for spectroscopy, i.e. split the light according to its wavelength, we hope to achieve the same for the inner planet candidate. This is possible as the light passes through the atmosphere of the planet during transits and some of the elements are absorbed by the composition material of the atmosphere. So we do hope to learn a lot about planet formation, thus also formation of the early Solar System and about young planets in particular from the CVSO 30 system.”
Since astronomers first began began to find exoplanet candidates in distant star systems, we have come to learn just how diverse our Universe really is. Many of the discoveries have challenged our notions about where planets can form around their parent star, while others have showed us that planets can take many different forms.
As time goes on and our exploration of the local Universe advances, we will be challenged to find explanations for how it all fits together. And from that, new and more comprehensive models will no doubt emerge.

IN BRIEF
Astronomers have found CVSO 30, a star system with two particularly unique exoplanets.
Finding exoplanets has always been a strange business. You never know what you’re going to find. But this new discovery has to take the cake for being one of the strangest systems ever found.
A star system that has been examined for a few years, CVSO 30, has been found to contain two possible exoplanets, using both Transit Method and Direct Imaging. What’s even stranger was that,one was found to have an orbital period of less than 11 days, while the other takes a whopping 27,000 years to orbit its parent star.
The star with the longer orbit time—CVSO 30c—was spotted in remote regions around its parent star. It was found to be very young – less than 10 million years old. It is also unusually blue for a planet, as most other planet candidates of its kind are very red. It is likely that 30c is the first young planet of its kind to be directly imaged.
Meanwhile, CVSO 30c was found to be impossibly close to its parent star. It is the first transiting planet around a star as young as 2.5 million years.
The planets were found by both the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, and the Spanish National Research Council’s (CSIC) Calar Alto Observatory.

Russia Claims It’s Building a Nuclear Space Bomber Capable of Striking Any Country in the World

IN BRIEF
The Russian military claims that it is building it's own miniature version of the International Space Station, with the main purpose of carrying nuclear weapons, which would allow them to launch an attack anywhere in the world in a matter of two hours.
WAR ZONE EXPANSION: OUTER SPACE
Through news site Sputnik, Russia says they are building a robotic mini-shuttle, much like a smaller, remote-controlled replica of the International Space Station—filled with nukes.
X-37B. United States Air Force.
The robotic plane, similar to the U.S. Air Force’s secretive X-37B robotic mini-shuttle, will be loaded with nuclear warheads, and can launch an attack anywhere in the world within a matter of two hours. The Russian military says the project is making good progress and could very well be up and running by 2020.
“The idea is that the bomber will take off from a normal home airfield to patrol Russian airspace,” Lieutenant Colonel Aleksei Solodovnikov told Russia’s International News Agency. “Upon command it will ascend into outer space, strike a target with nuclear warheads and then return to its home base.”
“I think that its lift-off mass must be 20-25 metric tonnes for it to be a strike aircraft,” Solodovnikov told Sputnik. “It will [be able to accelerate to] hypersonic speed in rocket mode.”
However, whether this is a bluff or not, the mere thought of fast-nuking space planes lurking about and ushering a new era (and arena) of warfare is beyond unsettling and is an act of violation against the Outer Space Treaty, signed by 104 countries in 1967—including Russia.
The Outer Space Treaty: green for parties, yellow for signatories who have not completed affirmation , red for non-parties.
The treaty declares that: “States shall not place nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner.”
Sputnik reports that the engine for this alleged nuclear space bombing machine will be presented at the Army-2016 International Military Technology Forum, happening this September in Moscow. Until then, we’re all going to have to keep hoping this is nothing more but a ruse.
If only Nikola Tesla (inventor of AC or alternating current that is used world-wide, the fluorescent tube that we use to this day ) were alive to see this now; a group of Russian physicists are picking up from where he had left off, using his patents and ideas to finally create the masterpiece that had been long suppressed: wireless electricity transmission. Their work has been largely forgotten, and just like Tesla himself they have not reached their funding goals, but they still seem to be publishing updates regardless.

In 1891, Nikola Tesla gave a lecture for the members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in New York City, where he made a striking demonstration. In each hand he held a gas discharge tube, an early version of the modern fluorescent bulb. The tubes were not connected to any wires, but nonetheless they glowed brightly during his demonstration.
Wireless electricity transmission solves a number of problems: it allows people to receive electricity without large-scale infrastructure costs, transmission to remote locations becomes feasible, and terrain is no longer a restriction. This ONE invention could well grant billions of people access to life-empowering electricity… Assuming they succeed that is.
The basis for the project involves using the Earth as a wire, rather than a physical wire. Anybody who understands electric circuits realizes that most devices come with three wires: Live, Neutral and Earth. Normal transmission of electricity starts at a power plant, and is sent through the live wire. It returns via the neutral wire.
There a reason for having an Earth wire though: The Earth is described as the destination of lowest “potential difference”, a potential difference being analogous to gravity… but for electricity. The Earth is also in a sense, for the purpose of electrical transmission, fairly conductive.
Colossal bolts of electricity arced hundreds of feet from the tower’s top to lick the landscape. A curious blue corona soon enveloped the crackling equipment. Millions of volts charged the atmosphere for several moments, but the awesome display ended abruptly when the power suddenly failed…. Tesla confirmed that the Earth itself could be used as an electrical conductor
In the event of a short-circuit, electric current often builds up in the device …. until an object touches it and completes a circuit leading down to the Earth. That object is often an unwary person, who would soon get a shockingly informative lesson on physics.
The Earth wire is designed to take the charge straight into the Earth, in the place of the unfortunate victim. Hence its name. Anyway, long story short, Tesla hoped to use the reverse process to transmit electricity directly; no need for Live or Neutral wires, when the Earth is sufficient. The Earthitselfwould be “charged” up like a giant battery via a Tesla Tower, causing an opposite charge to be created in the ionosphere. This massive potential difference would allow transmission of electricity to anywhere where a receiver is equipped with an antenna and an Earth wire.
Imagine watching TV via the power of lightning.
There are other aspects of Tesla’s work that are not being addressed by the scientists at this point, one of which being electricity generationrather than mere transmission. By using the Earth as a dynamo, or by making use of the existing potential difference between the ionosphere and the Earth, Tesla had hoped to be able to generate electric charge which would then be dissipated around the world. The man was ambitious.
Tesla’s ambitions were thwarted by money; the first real Tesla tower, the Wardenclyffe Tower, was near completion and showed “encouraging signs”. The project would be abandoned when Tesla himself spent all his savingson the project.
The first real Tesla tower, the Wardenclyffe Tower
“It is not a dream, it is a simple feat of scientific electrical engineering, only expensive — blind, faint-hearted, doubting world! […] Humanity is not yet sufficiently advanced to be willingly led by the discoverer’s keen searching sense. But who knows? Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence — by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combatted, suppressed —
only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.”
Nikola Tesla
Disclaimer: the website was written by Russian scientists (duh), and the English used within was at times difficult to understand. I apologize in advance for any misinterpretation of their work. It should be noted that several potential problems regarding Tesla’s idea exist: wireless energy transmission on its own might be very inefficient, as the stored charge in the ionosphere/ Earth might randomly discharge as lightning. This problem might be mitigated if we were to use the existing charge in the ionosphere as a means of electricity generation though. Other problems probably exist that reduce the efficiency of this method, but it remains a field worth exploring.

VIDEO: “Ja, er zijn kolonies op Mars en er is een geheim ruimtevaartprogramma”
VIDEO: “Ja, er zijn kolonies op Mars en er is een geheim ruimtevaartprogramma”
Hillary Clinton is geen mens en er leven mensen op Mars: zomaar een greep uit de theorieën die aan bod komen tijdens een speciale cruise voor complottheoretici.
De cruise, Conspira-Sea Cruise genaamd, duurt een week en doet een poging de waarheid boven tafel te krijgen over onderwerpen zoals klimaatverandering, de Wereldbank, NASA, 9/11 en de moord op JFK.
Sommige sprekers delen hun theorieën met Refinery29. Laura Eisenhower claimt bijvoorbeeld dat ze in 2006 werd gerekruteerd om op Mars te leven. Ze leerde naar eigen zeggen veel over wat er achter de schermen gebeurt.
Area 51
“Ja, er zijn kolonies op Mars en ja er is een geheim ruimtevaartprogramma waar we niets over mogen weten,” zei ze, toevoegende dat mensen niet op Hillary Clinton moeten stemmen omdat ze ‘geen mens is’.
Theoreticus Sean David Morton zei: “Ze willen niet dat je weet wat er in Area 51 gebeurt. Ze willen niet dat je weet dat er een kartel is bestaande uit zo’n 750 mensen die alles in handen hebben.”
Met ‘ze’ bedoelde hij een groep buitenaardsen die de Nephilim worden genoemd. “Ze vergrepen zich aan mensen en hun zonen en dochters werden de koningen en koninginnen, de aristocratie, de overheid,” zei hij.
Laboratorium
Bedenker van de Conspira-Sea Cruise Susan Shumsky zei dat mensen tijdens de cruise lekker kunnen genieten terwijl ze tegelijkertijd ‘de waarheid ontdekken’.
Aan boord van het cruiseschip is ook dr. Leonard Horowitz, die claimt dat virussen zoals hiv en ebola zijn gemaakt in een laboratorium en door middel van vaccins worden verspreid in de Verenigde Staten en Afrika.
Andere onderwerpen die aan bod komen tijdens de cruise: Monsanto, autisme, Big Pharma, fluoride, Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, HAARP, chemtrails, graancirkels, MK-Ultra, Bilderberg, MH370, Nieuwe Wereldorde, false flags, Dulce, Planeet X, COINTELPRO en RFID-chips.
DIMENSIEPORTAAL BOVEN ENGELAND GEFOTOGRAFEERD ( VIDEO )
DIMENSIEPORTAAL BOVEN ENGELAND GEFOTOGRAFEERD (VIDEO )
De mooiste UFO waarnemingen worden soms gedaan door mensen die eigenlijk helemaal niets hebben met vreemde objecten die door de lucht vliegen, al dan niet met buitenaardse inzittenden.
“Het ziet er wel onnatuurlijk uit, maar toch zou je het liefste zoiets van dichtbij willen zien en nog beter, aanraken. Ik zie het nut van al die hokus pokus niet in”.
Het volgende bericht ontvingen wij van een dame (dank!) die met vakantie is geweest in Engeland in 2011 en daar foto’s maakte.
Het volgende is wat zij schrijft:
Beste Niburu,
Hierbij stuur ik jullie 3 foto’s die ik in 2011 heb gemaakt in Engeland. Hierop is wat te zien in het rood omcirkeld.
Ufo’s? Ik heb geen idee, maar het ziet er wel apart uit. Wat mij opvalt is dat je een witte uitstraling hebt bij sommigen.
Ik heb de foto’s destijds met een HTC telefoon gemaakt en ik kan mij herinneren dat ik die dag slecht foto’s kon maken. Ik irriteerde mij daar aan, want normaal gesproken deed de camera het gewoon goed. Zoals je op 2 foto’s kunt zien wordt de lucht een beetje paarsig/ sepia van kleur.
Ik vind al het geheimzinnige gedoe omtrent ufo’s en buitenaards leven maar raar. Als zoiets werkelijk bestaat, waarom maken zij zich niet kenbaar.
En van deze wat onduidelijke foto’s wordt je eigenlijk ook niet heel veel wijzer, omdat je bij het inzoomen kwaliteitsverlies hebt. Het ziet er wel onnatuurlijk uit, maar toch zou je het liefste zoiets van dichtbij willen zien en nog beter, aanraken. Ik zie het nut van al die hokus pokus niet in.
Ik geloof echt wel dat er iets meer moet zijn tussen hemel en aarde, want het leven opzich is eigenlijk al heel vreemd als je erover nadenkt. Alleen al het feit dat we daar over kunnen praten vind ik al bijzonder. Ik hoop dat we ooit nog te weten komen hoe het werkelijk zit, maar gezien de (ufo) geschiedenis verwacht ik niet dat dit zal gebeuren, wat mij doet vermoeden dat dit opzet is.
Al met al weten we eigenlijk, ook met deze foto's, niets zeker maar misschien vinden jullie het de moeite waard om de foto's te plaatsen.
Misschien hebben we hier toch wel met iets meer te maken dan alleen maar hokus pokus.
Op de eerste foto zien we een typisch Engels kasteel, met op de achtergrond een soort dreigende lucht. Een grote donkere wolk, met aan de rand enkele objecten.
Het is een prachtige opname, want het sigaarvormig object kan met de beste wil van de wereld geen vogel, vliegtuig, drone of luchtballon genoemd worden.
In alle opzichten hebben we hier een UFO. De kleinere objecten die zichtbaar zijn als een soort stippen lijken veel op de ronde verkenners zoals we die tegenwoordig overal zien als witte of oranje bollen.
Navolgend nog enkele overzichtsfoto’s met wederom de donkere dreigende luchten en de objecten zichtbaar aan de rand van de donkere wolk.
Op deze foto zie je wat duidelijker de vreemde verkleuring van sommige wolken in de foto:
Al met al, teveel vreemde dingen om te spreken van iets "natuurlijks".
Naast de opmerkelijke beelden is er ook nog het feit dat de dame die dag opeens problemen had met het maken van foto's, iets dat normaal gesproken niet voor komt, maar een bekend bijverschijnsel is op het moment dat er UFO's in de buurt zijn.
Waar we hier waarschijnlijk mee te maken hebben is een fenomeen dat zich de laatste jaren vaker voordoet en dat is een dimensieportaal.
Vaak donkere grote onweersachtige wolken, al dan niet met bliksemschichten, waar of objecten rondom worden waargenomen of waar deze de “wolk” in vliegen.
Een prachtig voorbeeld hiervan zagen we enkele jaren geleden in Mexico en daarom hier nogmaals dat gedeelte uit een eerder artikel:
Vorige week hadden we de bijzondere getuigenis van een dame uit Friesland die 's avonds op haar fiets stapt en onderweg een onweerswolk tegenkomt waaruit UFO's tevoorschijn komen.
Het is een indrukwekkend verhaal, zeker omdat het haar opvalt dat deze wolk eigenlijk de enige is aan een zo goed als onbewolkte hemel.
Dit voorval vond plaats afgelopen 7 oktober en een dag later gebeurt het volgende in Mexico.
Enkele weken geleden, op 8 oktober, is er een maansverduistering in Mexico. Een aantal mensen staat klaar met een mobiele telefoon om hier opnames van te maken, totdat ze een vreemde wolk waarnemen. Dat is vreemd want verder is de lucht onbewolkt.
Het is ook geen gewone wolk, het is klaarblijkelijk een onweerswolk want de bliksemflitsen schieten er doorheen en uit.
Dan, ineens, zie je rechts een sigaarvormige UFO in beeld komen die met een fenomenale snelheid op de wolk afschiet.
Minder dan een seconde later is hij in de wolk verdwenen en komt tegen alle natuurwetten in niet aan de andere kant tevoorschijn.
Volgens de op onze aarde bekende en geldende natuurwetten kan dit niet. Een object wat met een dergelijke hoge snelheid komt aanvliegen kan niet binnen zo'n relatief kleine wolk tot stilstand worden gebracht. En toch gebeurt het; kijk en val niet van je stoel.

UFO Within 50 Meters Of Space Station On Live Cam, July 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News
Date of discovery: July 14, 2016 Location of discovery: International Space Station (ISS)
A reader on Twitter called @TheBearLadySees sent some photos in to be looked at. The photo is a screenshot of the International Space Station with a triangle UFO near it. Everything is glowing an pink hue, which is odd, but may be caused from the UFO being so close to it. This is really an amazing sight. You can even make out the long rectangular window in the UFO. The window is facing the space station windows and cameras! They are watching, observing the space station, and clearly they want the astronauts on board the ISS to know it. Look how amazingly close they are to the space station. This UFO is within 30-50 meters to the space station. Fantastic catch. Wow! Keep up the great work @TheBearLadySees Scott C.

Danish workers Find Alien Skull On Denmark's Sealand Island, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of video: May 19, 2015 Makers of video:Strange Mysteries Here is a great skull found in Denmark and its really remarkable. The enlarged eyes, the teeth are mind-blowing. It doesn't fit into any known species and is 50% larger than a human skull. Perhaps a half human, half alien hybrid. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Video states: Has the an alien skull been found in Denmark? For more information google "Sealand Skull" A skull that seems to suggest it’s from another world has been discovered…but what is it? --- Danish workers on Denmark's Sealand Island, were replacing hundred year old sewer pipes, under a building that once belonged to a butcher, when they dug up an amazing humanoid skull. It was brought to a Veterinary College in the capital, Copenhagen, where they concluded “Although resembling a mammal, certain features make it impossible to fit the animal into Linnaean taxonomy.” It simply doesn't fit into the Earth's natural animal kingdom as we know it. Carbon dating of the skull was conducted at the University of Copenhagen's Niels Bohr Institute for the sciences, where they determined that it was about 800 years old. However, the workers who found the skull, found it buried above the hundred year old pipes, meaning that it must have been buried on purpose sometime after that. And there's even a good possibility that they know who might have hidden it there. The island they found the skull on actually has some lore behind it. It is the legendary home of the secretive Order of Pegasus Light, an alleged secret society of poets, sworn to protect a group of unbreakable alien artifacts... and an alien skull... allegedly left behind by extraterrestrial visitors from the constellation Pegasus. The Order of Pegasus Light was formed in the 1300's and has had some of history's most influential writers as it's members, including William Shakespeare, Thomas Jefferson, H.G. Wells, and Ambrose Bierce. In centuries past, the elusive Pegasus skull has been witnessed in Europe's Balkan Mountains, Paris France, and Munich Germany, before being transferred to Sealand Denmark. The skull is about 50% larger than that of a male Homo Sapiens. It’s massive eye sockets contribute to this. With massive eye sockets…whatever this thing was must have massive eyes…therefore suggesting it had adapted to a very dark environment. Some have suggested that it could belong a terrestrial creature unknown to science, but the skull's excellent dental condition would seem to indicate that this is no wild beast. Whatever this thing was just remains a mystery…
Presented in this movie are the details of an unknown Alien form of communication. UFOs are appearing in the sky in group formations that match major Galactic constellations in Space. Ancient structures such as the Pyramids of Egypt also reflect these same galactic constellations within their layout and design. Today with the aid of video cameras, “smart phones” and the internet, these galactic UFO formations are being seen by billions of people worldwide. Clearly, a sophisticated coded language is now being broadcast all over the world through the distribution of UFO videos and has also been memorialized for all time through the placement of ancient pyramids and sacred sites. What does it all mean? Join us as we discover are true place in the cosmos. The information presented in this film will force every Nation around the world to confront the reality of interstellar and other worldly communication.
In one of Carl Sagan's last books, he noted that astronomy has brought humanity to a series of "great demotions." Simply put: When we first observed the night sky, we thought the Earth was in the center of the universe. Over time, as he described in Pale Blue Dot, we tried out other theories as the criteria fit: Maybe the sun is at the center of the universe? Perhaps we're in an important part of the galaxy?
We now know the Earth is in the suburbs of the Milky Way, and our solar system is only special because we live in it, but this series of demotions shows us one thing: it's easy to project our image on to the universe. This is especially true when searching for life. Because there is only one case of life as we know it — life on Earth — it's easiest to look for life like ours. But in reality our kind of life may not be the most common type to look for after all.
A new paper in Astrobiology is asking the astronomy community to help the SETI Institute. (SETI stands for "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.") With more data on exoplanets coming in from the Kepler space telescope, and 50 years of space and SETI observations behind us, the hope is new tools can emerge to improve the search for life.
"A key concept is the one of cohabitation of life and environment ... Each planet is a unique planetary experiment, and if we are starting to model these environments, then we can start to figure out what kind of diversity is out there," author Nathalie Cabrol, the SETI Institute's senior research scientist and director of the Carl Sagan Center, told Discovery News.
One example she suggests in her paper is looking for an element that is in disequilibrium in a planet's atmosphere. (In other words, if scientists see a lot of silicon in an atmosphere that physics predicts would have little, perhaps that could show silicon-based life there.) The advantage is the aliens wouldn't necessarily have to be sending out signals for us to find, she added.
A recent blog post from the SETI Institute's Seth Shostak highlighted this fact for Earth, pointing out our oxygen signature has broadcast life for more than two billion years.
Indeed, much of astrobiology itself is built on assumptions. Scientists commonly speak of a "habitable zone" for planets, based mostly on where Earth is located in our own solar system. Exoplanet biology is also compared with our own, such as when instruments for Mars are tested here based on their abilities to find Earth microbes.
Radio and optical searches, she added, are still the best tool we know of for searching given our known physics of the universe. But she does point out in the paper that the SETI Institute has been focused on the endpoint of the famous Drake equation — how many communicating civilizations there are — rather than "trying to understand or quantify the processes taking place within each of the factors's [for life] that lead to the next."
Even Frank Drake himself, she added, said his equation was not aimed to look for microbes or non-communicating species.
Cabrol said the goal of her paper — which she emphasized is just a single data point, open to discussion and dispute from other astronomers — is not to necessarily say these ideas are wrong. Instead, her hope is that after the SETI Institute organizes a workshop next year to explore these issues, that astronomers may have a better idea about where to point their telescopes.

As the long-running Cassini mission enters its last year at Saturn, NASA is moving forward with an early-stage technology study to send a drone to its moon Titan.
The agency awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 1 contract for Global Aerospace Corp. and Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems to create a vehicle known as the Titan Winged Aerobot built to explore Saturn's largest moon and prepare a prototype for testing on Earth. SBIR Phase 1 contracts last six months and are worth up to $125,000,according to NASA.
"Titan is a cold, harsh environment that poses many technical challenges for any lighter-than-air exploration platform," said Benjamin Goldman, principal investigator of the Phase I effort, in a statement from Global. [How Humans Could Live on Titan (Infographic)]
The new Titan robot will include several design elements to let it cope with that environment, he added in the statement. This would include excellent "lift" generation (the ability to soar using Titan's dense atmosphere), maneuverability and the ability to withstand Titan's atmospheric pressure.
Titan is the only known solar system moon to have a substantial atmosphere and a liquid cycle (including hydrocarbon lakes on its surface), which has led some scientists to compare it to an early Earth. It also could host methane-based life despite its harsh temperatures (minus 300 Fahrenheit, or minus 184 Celsius, at the surface) and lack of water, which earthly creatures require.
Titan has already seen one landing. In 2005, the Cassini mission sent the Huygens probe to the surface of Titan. It remained operational for a couple of hours, sending back data on the moon's atmosphere and surface.
Unlike Huygens' single landing, a Titan drone could soar above many locations. Because it is closer to the surface, it could map Titan in greater detail than the higher-ranging Cassini flybys. This provides potential for studies in astrobiology and habitability, Global representatives said.
The design calls for a maneuverable glider, as well as atmospheric entry and ballooning capabilities, that can be controlled in 3D. It would operate using a single nuclear-power source, which is common for missions far out in the solar system that don't receive a lot of sunlight.
One unique feature of the Titan Winged Aerobot is a buoyancy system that would let it ascend and descend without need of propulsion or traditional aviation "control" surfaces such as flaps, Global representatives said. The robot could fly over sites several times and even send targeted probes down to the surface, the company added.
While the technology is designed for Titan, Global said the glider's work could be used on "any solar system body with an atmosphere." Applications could include returning payloads to Earth from the International Space Station or viewing Mars from a drone built for its thin atmosphere.
The SBIR program is part of a suite of NASA programs that fund far-out research. The research looks at aerospace or space technology concepts that could be decades away from flight, if they're selected for further development.
A team of physicists from the UK and Canada have created a computer simulation that points to the Big Bounce theory rather than the Big Bang. They state that the universe we know today is the sequel to a previous one that collapsed. They state that despite this periodical collapse, the universe does not completely get destroyed because the effects of quantum mechanics preserves it, allowing it to spring back to what it is today.
ETERNAL BOUNCE
A team of physicists from the UK and Canada have provided a simulation that supports the theory that our universe did not start out the way the Big Bang model proposes, but rather expanded to its current state after a period of contraction—a cycle dictated by the Big Bounce Theory.
The Big Bounce theory states that the universe follows a cycle of contraction and expansion, repeated infinitely. According to this theory, the universe did not begin with a violent explosion, but rather formed as a previous universe expanded or “bounced” back collapsing during the contraction phase of this endless cycle.
One of the main issues that had prevented the Big Bounce theory from securing its validity is that there was no proposed explanation as to how the universe could expand back after its full collapse. The team’s simulation suggests that once the universe reaches its smallest point, the common laws of physics governing our daily environment are abandoned and the rules of quantum mechanics come into play. The effects of quantum mechanics would preserve of the universe, keeping it from destruction and allowing the emergence of another universe like the one we’re in today.
“Quantum mechanics saves us when things break down,” explains team member Steffen Gielen, from Imperial College London. “It saves electrons from falling in and destroying atoms, so maybe it could also save the early Universe from such violent beginnings and endings as the Big Bang.”
NEXT UP: GALAXIES
Using quantum mechanics in a computer simulation, the team was able to formulate how the universe could spring back from deflation, even with only radiation and a little matter remaining in it.
“The big surprise in our work is that we could describe the earliest moments of the hot Big Bang quantum mechanically, under very reasonable and minimal assumptions about the matter present in the Universe,” said team member Neil Turk, from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada. “Under these assumptions, the Big Bang was a ‘bounce’, in which contraction reversed to expansion.”
What’s next for this simulation is to find out if the entities within the universe, such as galaxies, can come into existence under these circumstances. As technology evolves, the chances thatquantum computers could finally catch up with the enigmas of the universe are looking better and better.
The AeroMobil 3.0 is the latest version of the vehicle that will allow us to drive on the road and fly through the air.
AeroMobil unveiled its latest version of its (rather remarkably) futuristic vehicle, which is designed to be both driven on the road and flown through the air. Yes, that’s right—a flying car.
The AeroMobil 3.0 is one of several new experimental prototypes that the company hopes to launch by the end of the year. The current prototypes are all two-seated vehicles, but it could undergo some changes and may be able to quickly accommodate more passengers, as the AeroMobil 3.0 is only the “first product in a series of innovative vehicles,” according its CEO Juraj Vaculik.

The AeroMobil team says their vehicles are not frivolous or unrealistic fabrications, but assert that it can do far more than cut commuters’ travel time. Most notably, it could be used by first responders and law enforcement in areas with poor road infrastructure.
The company plans to commercialize the AeroMobil 3.0 car by 2017.

NORAD documents reveal 75 UFO intercepts annually
NORAD documents reveal 75 UFO intercepts annually
by Roger Marsh
Victor Viggiani
North America’s Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tracks an average of 1,800 UFOs annually and intercepts about 75 times each year, according to Canadian Access to Information Act (AIA) documents recently released to UFO Disclosure Advocate Victor Viggiani.
No one at NORAD is saying these were UFOs – but instead, they refer to unidentified objects as Tracks of Interest (TOI) or Unknown Tracks.
Viggiani spoke Saturday night, June 25, 2016, at the Alien Cosmic Expo in Ontario, Canada, and copied panel members on the 11 documents he is in possession of.
NORAD is the North American Aerospace Defense Command – a combined U.S. and Canada organization – that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and defense of North America. NORAD is located at Peterson Air Force Base near Colorado Springs, CO.
In response to Viggiani’s request for documents pertaining to NORAD tracking or intercepting UFOs, a letter from NORAD Operations details how requests for information on Unknown Tracks cannot be released due to their sensitive nature due to national security. But the letter does provide a summation from the NORAD Commander.
“However, the NORAD Commander has approved the release of the following information regarding Tracks of Interest (TOI) and Unknown Tracks. The yearly average in the past five years has been 1,800 TOIs and 75 intercepts.”
In addition to this letter, Viggiani also received a six-page document as an example of a TOI.
Reached at his home in Toronto today, Viggiani said this particular document is very revealing, but also leaves a number of unanswered questions.
The document is a NORAD status report, which uses a line-item approach as details are available to be reported. Some of the lines are redacted or blocked out so that they cannot be seen. In one area they outline how an intercept was ordered on three objects.
“The missing information,” Viggiani said, “is obviously what did they see when they intercepted?”
Viggiani is the News Director of international news service Zland Communications. From his biography:
“His study of anomalous aerial phenomenon, research and analysis of Extraterrestrial issues spans over 30 years. His experience involves UFO sightings report investigation, academic and radio journalism with a primary focus on UFO/ET government Disclosure. Victor has addressed the media and audiences in Sydney and Brisbane Australia, Washington D.C., at the Washington D.C. National Press Club, CBC and CTV Toronto television news programs and at Convocation Hall University of Toronto. Victor is a co-host on the Richard Syrett Show on AM 740 Radio in Toronto.”
The 11 documents – including 15 pages – can be seen here for review.

LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT ALIENS ARE REAL...
LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT ALIENS ARE REAL...
It’s astonishing how many credible people are trying to create awareness about a phenomenon that, if it were to become entirely transparent to the world, would most likely transform all aspects of humanity, leaving nothing untouched. If there was full extraterrestrial disclosure, we would have so many questions to consider. How do they travel so far in such short periods of time? What do they use for propulsion? Are they benevolent or do they mean us harm? The implications of alien existence are simply staggering.
Thousands of people have spoken out and attested to the reality of this phenomenon. In the United States, hundreds of people with distinguished backgrounds — people working in politics, academia, the military, and other professional fields — have come forward to share their experience and research. One of those people is Dr. Jacques Valle.
Valle codeveloped the very first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA. He is also noted for his work at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), where he helped create ARPANET, a technology that became the foundation for the modern day internet.
He also supports the extraterrestrial hypothesis as one explanation for the UFO phenomenon, meaning that some of these UFOs are indeed intelligently controlled, remotely or not, by extraterrestrial beings. One of his many published papers, written in the late 90s, appeared in the Journal of Scientific Exploration. Titled “Estimates of Optical Power Output in Six Cases Of Unexplained Aeriel Objects With Defined Luminosity Characteristics,” (source)(source) it offers a comprehensive look at the oddities military pilots encounter when they are ordered to intercept one of these UFOs. (Related CE Article:Here’s What Happens When A UFO Is Tracked On Military Radar.)
Valle’s latest work includes a recently published analysis of 500 UFO cases from biblical antiquity t0 1879 before the development of modern industry. That was published in his book Wonders of the Sky.

SCIENTISTS FIND MORE EVIDENCE OF NIBIRU’S EXISTENCE
SCIENTISTS FIND MORE EVIDENCE OF NIBIRU’S EXISTENCE
Scientists have found traces of a mysterious planet that’s lurking at the edges of our solar system, and many believe it could be the infamous Planet X, also known as Nibiru.
Spanish scientists at the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, have recently discovered not one, but two new giant celestial bodies hiding behind Pluto, right near the edge of our solar system.
A GIANT NEW PLANET IN THE REACHES OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
One planet is believed to be around 10 times the size of Earth, while the other one is estimated to be the size of Mars. The team of astronomers concluded that the two mysterious planets orbit at a distance equal to 200 times Earths distance from the Sun.
Backing up this find, astronomers at California Institute of technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, have found more evidence of a giant new planet in the far reaches of our solar system. Planet Nine has been discovered after researching the strange orbits of objects found in the Kuiper Belt.
With the use of mathematical models, scientists noticed that the existence of a large and previously unknown planet could explain the mystery behind these frozen objects’ behavior and also a number of other space anomalies.
This new planet is 10 times more massive than the Earth and is orbiting 20 times farther from the Sun than distant Neptune does. Although the planet appears on paper, observing it is another challenge altogether, but their find is extremely similar to that of the Spanish astronomers from 2014
IS THIS THE EVIDENCE TO THE EXISTENCE OF THE HUMANOID CREATURE CALLED
IS THIS THE EVIDENCE TO THE EXISTENCE OF THE HUMANOID CREATURE CALLED
In every part of the world, There's a fair share of creepy creatures that originates from various urban legends, One of the creepy urban legends that can now be believed to be true is the urban legend of "The Rake." A man was able to capture an evidence to its existence as he sees the humanoid creature climbing on his rooftop .
During the summer of 2003, events in the northeastern United States involving a strange, human-like creature sparked brief local media interest before an apparent blackout was enacted. Little or no information was left intact, as most online and written accounts of the creature were mysteriously destroyed. Primarily focused in rural New York state and once found in Idaho, self proclaimed witnesses told stories of their encounters with a creature of unknown origin. Emotions ranged from extremely traumatic levels of fright and discomfort, to an almost childlike sense of playfulness and curiosity. While their published versions are no longer on record, the memories remained powerful. Several of the involved parties began looking for answers that year. - CREEPYPASTA

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).

Lets not forget that NASA have PROMISED To discover aliens by 2015……!?

Official Alien Contact And Humanity’s Path To The Universe
Official Alien Contact And Humanity’s Path To The Universe
There is a clear defined reason why the Elite of this world do not want us to have Extra-terrestrial Disclosure and it is the same reason why our so-called leaders will not tell us the truth – they do NOT want to lose the Control over us!
As long as the friendly Aliens want to play nicely with us, disclosure of their existence will bring with it a possible doorway to the Universe, an opportunity for us to explore the darkness between the stars and beyond. No longer will planet earths borders between countries appear necessary or relevant, and our world leaders and religious leaders would not appear so significant in our lives, in many aspects they may even come across as ‘fakes’ and ‘un-important’. And THIS is what the elite who manipulate this planet are afraid of.
The Elites end of days?
UFO sightings are dramatically on the rise and have been for a while (please click HERE for more). The ET’s want and need to be seen and many people believe that the Alien Beings are trying to force their own disclosure. Hand in hand with the increased ‘clear’ UFO sightings, is a world-scaled awakening throughout the Human race, it is no longer a case of “are we alone in the Universe” but instead the question is “when will we discover who the Aliens are and what do they want?”.
The Elite are more than aware of this Global awakening so have put into place plans with other agencies/corporations ways of ‘delaying’ disclosure and in some cases ‘drip feeding us with disclosure’ perhaps for when the Aliens force their own disclosure, so our world leaders etc can turn around and tell us “that we did try telling you!”.
We are quite often TEASED by NASA about the existence of life in the Universe, by means of news headlines about ‘Life On Mars’ (please click HERE) and in some cases even delayed acceptance statements of there being other advanced life forms out there in the Universe. We have recently been informed by NASA that they will discover Alien life forms in the next ten years, which appears to be a fantastic delay tactic in itself (please click HERE for more info on this). “We are on the cusp of discovering alien civilizations”, NASA’s top scientists have said. They have very recently predicted that we are just one generation away from finding something in our Milky Way neighborhood, which is bustling with environments conducive to life…….let the Drip Feeding of Disclosure begin!
‘We will discover Alien life by 2025’ – Dr. Ellen Stofan from NASA helping to ‘drip feed the truth’
The list could go on and on of the ways that the elite are drip feeding us all with disclosure, from adverts to Astronauts and even the US President getting heavily involved in this incredibly important subject matter, but all of this in the greater scheme of things is irrelevant – The Aliens are already HERE and have been for a long time and those who used to control us are soon to become surplus to requirement, BIG exciting changes are coming for us all!
What Will The Aliens Bring?
No matter which way you look at it this planet is in turmoil, what with conflicts and tensions between countries going on all around the world, created by war-mongering power hungry leaders! Planet earths natural resources are being drastically drained daily for money and ‘control’, a divide amongst different religions and races is being ridiculously encouraged by the Elite (again to CONTROL us) and on top of all this the people of this world appear to brainwashed into submission that money, TV and who owns the best gadgets is what is important in life.
BUT, there are big changes ahead, something which many of us have opened our minds up too, and these changes are going to inevitably happen across the planet when the Extra-terrestrials officially announce their presence to us all.
The Aliens aren’t coming, they are already HERE!
At first you will have a clear divide amongst the masses on planet earth, of those who welcome our ET friends, and those who are threatened by them. Of course the world powers will try to get the people on side to fear these unknown ‘demons’ from the sky and with this will come violence from certain fractions of humanity. Some religious groups will oppose the ET’s and try to discourage the world from uniting with them. Those who have a false sense of security and have been absorbed by the Elites brainwashing will potentially go up in arms and be untrusting of our ET visitors.
The ET’s (as long as it’s the good ones that appear) will probably first announce themselves to the world of who they are and where they are from, and their reasons for their official contact with Planet Earth. As soon as the vast majority of the Human race accept who are out ET visitors are and why they are here, a sudden worldwide ‘full’ awakening will start to begin and the universe will suddenly be deemed as a new playground of discovery for the people of this world.
Our technology will become obsolete in comparison to what the Aliens use and have further knowledge of. It has been discussed by many leading researchers that in the greater scheme of things in the Universe the Human Race is a mere type ZERO civilisation, due to the fact that we are still very dependable on fossil fuels and have not yet quite understood the full benefits of using our local star as a true energy resource. Compared to MANY other ET Beings out there who have been around in the Universe a lot longer than what we have, we would be pretty much prehistoric-like in comparison to them!
We Are a Mere Type 0 Civilization – Against Types I, II, III, IV And V, ALIEN Civilizations believes many leading researchers around the world. If there are planets out there with life on it that has been around the Universe for millions of years over what we have, it is obvious that their technology and Science knowledge would be FAR superior to our own. The ‘Kardashev scale’ has been developed as a way of measuring a civilization’s technological advancement based upon how much usable energy it has at its disposal – hence we are classed as a Type o Civilization. Many leading researchers believe that as the populations grows and expands outwards its energy requirements will increase dramatically, what with the requirements of its various technological machines. This is why the Kardashev Scale was created, a way of measuring a civilization’s technological advancement based upon how much usable energy it has at its disposal.
Please see below a chart to the types of civilisations out there in the Universe:
U.I.P SUMMARY –
As you can clearly see from the chart above our Extra-terrestrial visitors could bring with them not just a wealth of knowledge, technologies and cures for diseases, they could also offer us the chance to explore strange new worlds out there in the unknown infinite Universe (s) – this is something that the Elite fear and have become scared of, as these exciting changes in our lives will make money appear insignificant and the restrictions of our borders unnecessary!
If we give our ET visitors the chance to unite with us, this could be our chance to learn from them and free ourselves from these invisible but very much there chains around our necks which limits us on a daily basis from progressing. There is a world wide awakening happening right now and a lot of you reading this article are already very much awake and ready for the great/exciting changes ahead that the ET’s may bring with them.
Our corrupt leaders and the 1% elite on this planet are fearful of losing their control over us, but it is inevitable and critically important that we unite with those ET Beings out there that want to unite us with our Galactic/Universal Brothers and Sisters!
It is exciting yet challenging times for the Human Race, but one worth fighting for! I often watch films like Star Wars etc and imagine the wonders and mysteries that lie beyond, perhaps one day soon we will all find out what is out there and part of the same Universe we are ALL part of.

U-F-NO! NASA Shoots Down Speculation Over Space Station Video
U-F-NO! NASA Shoots Down Speculation Over Space Station Video
By Calla Cofield, Staff Writer
A bright spot appears in a video from the live camera on the International Space Station.
Credit: NASA
There's a rumor swirling around the internet that NASA intentionally turned off a live camera on the International Space Station (ISS) after the feed showed a small object just above Earth. The suggestion (or outright accusation, by some) is that NASA is trying to cover something up — that the bright light was an alien UFO or a large piece of space debris that the agency doesn't want people to know about.
Is there any truth to the rumors? Here's what we know: A bright object was visible in the video feed coming from the live camera on the ISS, and the camera cut out shortly after the object appeared (the camera came back on shortly after, and is now running as usual).
But those events won't surprise anyone with a little bit of knowledge about the station cameras, because both things occur commonly. And NASA representatives have now stated very directly that the agency did not turn off the camera intentionally.
It's not rare for the space station camera feeds to cut out for various reasons, including the fact that the station orbits the Earth about 16 times per day, and frequently slips out of direct contact with NASA.
"The International Space Station regularly passes out of range of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS) used to send and receive video, voice and telemetry from the station," representatives from NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate said in a statementpublished by the Huffington Post.
"For video, whenever we lose signal (video comes down on our higher bandwidth, called KU), the cameras will show a blue screen (indicating no signal) or a preset video slate, depending on where you are watching the feed," the statement said.
Secondly, bright objects hurtle toward Earth all the time. There are space rocks burning up in the atmosphere (meteors, also known as shooting stars). Human-made space debris can also burn up while falling through the atmosphere (space agencies monitor the larger chunks). And then there's the possibility that the bright spot as an artifact — nothing more than a reflection.
"Reflections from station windows, the spacecraft structure itself or lights from Earth commonly appear as artifacts in photos and videos from the orbiting laboratory, just as reflections often appear in pictures taken on Earth," the statement said.
Adding some finality to the speculation, the representatives added, "No unidentifiable objects have been seen from the ISS."
While that explanation may not satisfy some people, one thing to keep in mind when considering alleged NASA conspiracies is that "NASA" refers to a very large collection of people. Dozens of individuals monitor the activities on the space station constantly (although, as mentioned above, the station drops out of direct contact with the agency on a regular basis). This brings to mind the saying, "three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead," meaning, simply, that the more people who are in on a secret, the less likely it is to stay a secret.
What's more, most of those people are scientists and engineers, professionals who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of truth. It's important to keep that information in mind when weighing the likelihood of conspiracy theories.

Planet X" Madness! Is A Giant Rogue Object Heading For Earth? 7/15/16, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of video: July 2016 Makers of video:SecureTeam10 Here is a very enlightening video about how the discovery of Planet X had begun and how the evidence and impacted us and our beliefs. Nice video, well done and I really didn't know about the newspaper articles about it in the 1980s. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com SecureTeam10 states: The point of this video was not meant to anger and/or put down believers in Planet X. After watching this topic grow back into the spotlight (after the last "doomsday" date passed), and having received so many emails from legitimately scared people, I found it necessary to speak on the situation, and rightly so. Let it be known that I am not saying that there aren't rogue planets out there in space, quite the contrary. However, there is NO concrete evidence at this point, that we are imminently facing destruction by such a planet, nor that an object as such is anywhere near our solar system. Should verifiable evidence come to light, we'll be the first to post about it, and you guys know that. Many have said that this doomsday planet has been mentioned in ancient texts, and that may be so, but it doesn't qualify as hard evidence nor does it honestly matter. Ancient texts spanning all religions throughout history, have mentioned various mythical places, people and objects, yet I say again, this does not qualify or provide us with any "proof" that such things actually existed, and as such should not be used to instill fear in those who don't deserve it. The simple fact, is that "Planet X" isn't here. According to the so-called "current evidence", Nibiru should have killed us a long time ago.. Yet here we are, talking about it again, and discussing how it didn't happen...

UFO Exits Smoky Trail Above Vancouver, Canada On Jun 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: June 3, 2016
Location of sighting: Vancouver, BC, Canada
This video was just put up this week and it shows a dark UFO leaving a long contrail, presumably that it had made to hide in. This UFO turns and passes behind the cloudy trail, then moves away to the left. Very cool find, and normally we would have missed it, had this person not looked more carefully at their recording.
I saw a strange looking cloud outside my home in downtown Vancouver BC, and I took some pictures of it and decided to get a video too. What you see in this video was not what I saw taking it. The object was discovered today, while going through my pictures on my phone. I don't know what I'm looking at. I don't think it's an insect on my window as it seems to "materialize" and then vanish within seconds. The object's maneuverability and speed is incredible. I'm upset I didn't keep recording, as you can see at the end of the video, the object is clearly visible. But I had recorded a cloud for a minute and thought I got enough out of this cloud phenomenon.
The video has not been digitally tampered with at all, except for slowing it down in certain spots to highlight the UFO.

New Death Bed UFO Testimony from High Level Canadian Official, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of video: June 25, 2016 Location of event: Brantford, Ontario, Canada Here is a great ET disclosure hearing and they are focusing on a Minister of National Defense and former Deputy Prime Minister Paul Hellyer confession. Listen to this mind blowing first hand account. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Video states: On Saturday June 25, 2016 a major story was revealed at the Alien Cosmic Expo’s – “A Hearing on ET Disclosure,” in Brantford, Ontario. As you will see, if you read this whole article, it may just point to the operations center of the UFO cover-up. The Hearing on UFO Disclosure, arranged by Victor Vigianni, involved a panel of UFO researchers presenting best evidence and a panel of reporters who listened and asked questions. Literally hundreds of people, cameras, and reporters jammed the large ballroom. I was one of the presenters at the Hearing. I presented very statements from the Canadian Government Top Secret memo on flying saucers, and statements made by high ranking United States officials, and from officials with connections to the White House. There may have been a lot that the reporters had not heard but there was nothing new being presented Hellyer had two important remarks in reply to the questions. 1) The first thing that he mentioned is that he only saw sighting reports as Minister of Defense which would hint at the fact that the head of Defense in Canada is not briefed or read in on the UFO program. Hellyer stated that he saw UFO sighting reports but he did not pay any attention to them as he was not interested in the subject and was busy trying to combine all the military branches of the Canadian military into one combined force. Then he pointed out a key piece of evidence stating that if he had been interested, and had requested files or a briefing, he could not have been refused. This completely contradicts the conspiracy belief held strongly in the UFO research community that some Wizard of Oz or deep black cabal actually runs the government and that elected officials are simply puppets pretending to be in charge. 2) The more important and dramatic piece of evidence presented by Hellyer was a story he told about the day he was called to listen to some death bed confession. Paul did not provide dates for the events but he received a call from a man who said that the former head of emergency measures in Canada (let’s call him official X) was dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and that he has a story he wanted to get off his chest. He had decided that Paul Hellyer was the man he wanted to tell the story to. This is the story recounted by Hellyer
By now many people have heard of the "secret space program" and "breakaway civilizations" from noted researchers and authors such as Joseph P. Farrell and Peter Levenda. Recently, we have gathered even more mind-blowing insider information about the extent of these ultra classified programs from brave whistleblowers such as Corey Goodeand Randy Cramer (aka: Captain Kaye). When we combine the information we are now receiving from these individuals with known facts from a vast number of other sources in the Ufology field, we are able to form a much clearer picture of what might be happening beyond the boundary of Earths atmosphere. First, let's take a brief look at what this "secret space program" consists of for those who might be uninitiated. Throughout history we the public have always been told that NASA is basically the pinnacle of space exploration--this is an abject lie. By now, almost everyone knows that the American space program began with "Operation Paperclip" at the end of the war, a program whereby all of Germany's top rocket scientists were brought to the US to serve under the direction of the US government and military research facilities, namely Los Alamos Labs in New Mexico. The post-war years were a critical turning point in rocket science and advanced engineering, with the help of scientists like Werner Von Braun the US was able to develop everything from guided missiles to nuclear weapons. This massive influx of brainpower, technical skill and real world experience gave the Americans a critical edge on manned space flight over the Russians who had managed to put a satellite in orbit first. But this was merely the impetus of a much darker space program which the US military would soon start secretly funneling billions, and eventually trillions, of tax payer dollars into.
THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING It wasn't just transplanted Nazi scientists that helped jumpstart the US space program. Recovered technology from crashed extraterrestrial craft raised the state-of-the-art to a level that was inconceivable at the time. The Roswell recovery put the US military 40 to 50 years ahead of where they were in 1947. In fact, the technology was so advanced that it had to be categorized and systematically distributed amongst various high-level research and development companies including Bell Labs, XEROX PARC and AT&T as well as aerospace companies like Lockheed, Northrop and General Dynamics. It was all too much for the military to study and reverse-engineer on their own, so they utilized these R&D companies to help achieve their goals quicker than they could on their own. Ex-military insiders such as Phillip J. Corso and ex-aerospace contractors like Don Phillips have described in detail the lengths to which the military went to duplicate this technology and incorporate it into advanced weapons programs throughout the 1950's and 60's.
This timeframe saw a veritable explosion of technological advancements in everything from solid state electronics to aerospace design to advanced optics like thermal imaging. It was at this point that the powers that be--the 'Cabal' as I will refer to them--decided to split this space program down the middle. Half of it would step out into the 'white world' and become what we today know as the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) while the other half would slip into the 'black world' and form the foundation of what we now call the Secret Space Program (SSP). It is not fully understood how this all came about, we just know that it all began over 60 years ago and there has obviously been decades of advancement and development since then.
Don Phillips, Lockheed whistleblower
A BLACK HOLE OF SPENDING
If there's one thing the US military knows how to do well, it's spend lots of money. Since the end of WW2 the US government has spent roughly 50 trillion dollars on defense projects with probably another 20 trillion in off-the-books 'black budget' programs, and these are conservative estimates. Most of that black budget money was used by the Cabal to fund one the greatest secrets in the history of mankind--a secret fleet of spacecraft which was utilized to establish the Lunar Operations Command (LOC) facility on the far side of the moon as well as a military-run colony on Mars. I know this all sounds fantastical, like something out of a science fiction novel, but when you look at the corroborating evidence and start putting pieces together from eyewitness testimony and ex-military whistleblowers like Goode, it starts to make rational sense. They say that anything is possible if you throw enough money at it, and this is a prime example of that mentality.
The US government's approach of 'more is more' reminds me of a pivotal scene in one of my favorite movies, "Contact". At one point in the film S.R. Hadden, a billionaire akin to Robert Bigelow, is spending his final days aboard a space station in orbit when he contacts Ellie Arroway to let her know of the existence of a second 'Machine'. He says, "First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price? Only, this one can be kept secret. Controlled by Americans and built by Japanese subcontractors who, also, happen to be recently acquired, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hadden industries." It is this same mentality that has allowed a conglomerate of defense contractors and 'black' arms of various international governments to build and maintain secret space stations and a fleet of spacecraft costing trillions of dollars. I realize this all sounds improbable and if I wasn't hearing myself say this I wouldn't believe it either, but the reality of the situation is that there IS a trail of money that all leads to the same place: a compartmentalized black hole that even the highest levels of government don't have access to.
THE TRILLION POUND GORILLA IN THE ROOM
So you might ask why bother to even create a civilian space agency in the first place? Distraction, misdirection and control, of course. NASA was--and still is--a convenient way for the Cabal to say "Hey everyone, look over there!" The space agency has purposely been hobbled and restricted in their movement since it's very inception. NASA was created with a grand purpose in mind, something a bit darker than the Disney-sheen sense of wonderment that we all associate with space exploration. It all began with fireworks, parades and waving flags. Sure, the Apollo program was globally recognized as an incredible achievement for the United States and Mankind itself, but it was all just sleight of hand. While the world was glued to their cathode ray tubes in riveted excitement about landing a man on the moon, the Cabal may have already been well underway with construction on a Lunar Base. Think about the magnitude of this for a moment: Humanity may have already had men on the moon before we put a man on the moon! Let that sink in for minute.
Military spending 1962–2015
(inflation-adjusted 2011 dollars, from Wikipedia)
During the post-Apollo era NASA was given just enough money to continue their
'white world' programs of interplanetary exploration. They were allowed to develop and build the Space Shuttle in 1980 with a 4.2 billion dollar budget approved by Congress. By comparison, the FY1980 military defense budget was 303.4 billion dollars not including the black budget. In 1997 NASA was allowed to kickstart construction of the International Space Station with a budget of 13.2 billion dollars, a paltry 4% of the 305 billion dollar FY1997 defense budget. Fastfoward to the present day and NASA is practically a laughing stock, it's the kid standing up in class to answer a question with a "kick me" post-it note stuck to his back. The agency is blissfully oblivious to the fact that it has been surpassed by classified military technology in every measurable way since it's very inception. Their FY2015 budget is 18.4 billion dollars while the FY2015 military defense budget is 460 billion. NASA may have started off with fireworks, parades and waving flags, but it's ending in a proverbial hospital bed with no budget attached to a life support system made in Russia. This is exactly as the Cabal intended from square one. On September 10th, 2001 Donald Rumsfeld announced that 2.3 trillion dollars of US Pentagon money had "vanished" and he very matter-of-factly blamed it on 'military spending.' The next day, nobody in the world would remember this little tid bit of information.
FIRST DEGREE MINDSLAUGHTER
I don't want to harp any longer about the money, but suffice it to say there have been AMPLE budgets over the past few decades to accomplish the impossible without the general public ever finding out about any of it. From a skeptical viewpoint this rules out money as a limiting factor in the existence of a secret space program. So that leads us to investigate the possibility of other limitations, such as logistical hurdles like people. A program of this magnitude would require not only thousands of personnel but thousands of people that could be effectively controlled and contained. I cannot envision the captain of a US Navy space fleet vessel grabbing his suitcase, kissing his wife and saying "I'm off to Mars for three years honey, don't wait up for me." We're talking about a separate 'breakaway' population of people who may have been brought into these programs as children, much like Corey Goode was. Being an empath, he was recruited into MILAB as a child in the hopes that his talent could be utilized while still being under control in a military type command structure.
Randy Cramer, Secret Space Program whistleblower
Randy Cramer (aka: Captain Kaye), another recent whistleblower (born in 1970) was trained from the age of 4 to 17 years old as part of Project Mannequin (a global military supersoldier project). He later participated in Project Moonshadow (300 supersoldiers). This level of mind control would have been absolutely necessary for a program like this to even begin to work. According to Cramer, mind control after 1960 moved from MK Ultra (trauma-based) to Project Moonshadow (cooperative-based). Moonshadow’s aim was not to create faster, stronger killers, but faster, stronger and 'more moral' supersoldiers. One has to ask, how many others like Corey and Randy were recruited into these clandestine programs? There have been quite a few that have come forward over the past decade, but how many other people like them are out there quietly contemplating whether or not to come out of the dark?
TOTAL RECALL: THE GRAND DECEPTION
Governments around the world, and the US government in particular, are lying to people on an unprecedented, colossal scale. People are running around worrying about things like the next American Idol and soaking up the nonstop fear-porn propaganda pumped out by the MSM, but meanwhile a Cabal-controlled portion of humanity with highly advanced technology is already actively colonizing space! Richard Dolan has referred to this as the "breakaway civilization." Randy Cramer states that he believes (but has not verified with personal experience) that we have colonies not just on the Moon and Mars, but throughout the solar system and perhaps further. There is the distinct possibility that at least part of this breakaway civilization has been in place and space-faring even before the 1940's. In recent years we have seen ex-military whistleblowers come forward who have claimed to see evidence of human-made advanced technology that pre-dates even our first alien crash retrievals, suggesting that there may have been highly advanced space-faring civilizations existing prior to ours. This raises many more questions than it answers and that's probably the topic of a totally different conversation, we're just focusing on the secret space program here.
What we do know for a fact is that there is a 'faction' on our planet with access to incredible technology which operates completely independent of any government or military oversight. They are comprised of nameless contractors employed by an as-yet-unseen shadow organization, this "Cabal" that Corey and Randy both refer to. While doing some research for this article I stumbled upon an interesting story posted in a popular alternative news message forum. The person posting the story was friends with a retired one-star Brigadier General who spent 33 years in the Air Force. They referred contract projects to each other and apparently worked closely together on different job sites. This retired General revealed to his friend that he spent time on duty at both Wright Patterson AFB and Groom Lake and admitted to having top secret clearance as well as a 'need to know' clearance into certain areas, as he referred to it. He said he saw hangers "larger than life" that were heavily guarded and many of his Air Force buddies told stories of seeing incredibly large hangers and underground facilities that were incomprehensibly huge. Most importantly, this ex-general stated that he believed these enormous underground hangers aren’t controlled by the US government, even though they are within a military base these facilities were controlled by an external group not related to the military. He added that the hangers were guarded by personnel with no insignia, no rank, and no affiliation with the Air Force.(Source)
I have heard this all before, not only from Sirius Disclosure project testimonies but from my own relationships with several ex-Air Force pilots. I once sketched out what I thought the top secret "Aurora" hypersonic aircraft looked like and showed it to my good friend who is a retired Air Force Colonel and fighter/bomber pilot. His reply was "it doesn't look like that."Sometimes the biggest reveal can come in the shortest statement, but I digress...
Between February 2001 and March 2002 Gary McKinnon, a Scottish systems administrator, hacked into 97 different US military and NASA computers from his girlfriends house in London under the handle "Solo." In true Object Report Agent fashion his ultimate goal was to uncover evidence of UFOs and suppressed advanced technology. What he found would turn his initial '6-months of community service' judgement into extradition to the United States and 70 years in prison. Gary said he was inspired by Dr. Steven Greer’s Disclosure project. Greer brought together a number of very credible witnesses to testify in front of the Washington National Press Club that they had knowledge of the existence of extraterrestrial visitation and a secret space program. One of the witnesses, an ex-Air Force Sergeant named Karl Wolfe, spoke about pictures from space being purposely altered at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. McKinnon hacked into Johnson’s computer systems and said he found a high definition picture of a large cigar shaped craft over the northern hemisphere. The file was 235 megabytes and difficult to view on his computer since he was on a 57k dial-up connection using a VPN connection in Windows XP. He lowered the bit-depth down to 4-bit so the image would load quicker and saw a spacecraft of some type that he was unfortunately unable to save.
The most controversial bit of information McKinnon uncovered came when he hacked into US Space Command systems. He claims to have found an Excel document that listed "non-terrestrial officers" and "ship to ship transfers" in a Naval fleet that does not exist. When pressed to recall names of the ships he saw listed, Gary remembered two: the USSS LeMayand the USSS Hillenkoetter. If this is true, the names are very significant, as is the "USSS" designation. All of this information points to the existence of an 'off world' fleet of Naval vessels and only serves to bolster the information Corey and Randy have recently brought to light. Was the spacecraft Gary saw part of the alleged "Solar Warden" space fleet program that has come to light in recent years?
Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter was the first director of the CIA, and was also a member of a UFO research organization, the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). In 1960 the New York Times reported that Hillenkoetter had sent a letter to Congress that included this statement: "Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizenhttp://theobjectreport.blogspot.be/s are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense." Although Hillenkoetter fought for the end of UFO secrecy, he eventually stopped commenting on the matter. Alleged secret documents that were leaked to UFO researchers list Hillenkoetter as a member of the infamous Majestic 12 group, an organization rumored to have been made up of high ranking military officers and civilians created by President Truman to initially manage the UFO issue.
So, what we are seeing with all of these people coming out of the black-world is what I've been saying would eventually happen for years now. The leaky faucet of disclosure is getting leakier! We're seeing more and more people coming forward out of the darkness and amazingly some of them are being allowed to do so by the powers that be. Randy Cramer claimed that he was given permission by his commanding officer to go public with his information, which suggests that the Cabal realizes that this is the ideal way for them to allow leakage of the truth without losing face and triggering social unrest. This is a slow pressure release engineered to gradually acclimate the masses to the concept of extraterrestrials and, ultimately, these secret space programs that have been in operation for over 50 years.
Believe me when I say that there is much, MUCH more going on behind the scenes than we are privy to. I enjoy delving into the nuts and bolts of a topic and that is what I hoped to do here. The bottomline is: there are multiple secret space programs in operation, we are FAR from alone in the universe and we have been lied to for as long as we can remember. It is time for all of us to wake up as a collective consciousness and acknowledge what is going on and the information that is being revealed to us all.

GALACTIC CENTER
GALACTIC CENTER
Many of us by now have read material about the great galactic alignment or have seen YouTube videos and documentaries about this cosmic phenomenon. The idea of the Earth solar system entering the high energy zone of the Milky Way Galaxy plane was even made into a major Hollywood blockbuster film "2012". Unfortunately, anytime a UFO or ET concept is turned into a film script and green lighted for production, the original, fragile theory is trivialized and reality muddied leaving the general population in a state of mind, believing it was all just science fiction controversy originating from some film. In this case however, the event would obviously be so overwhelming and grand, there would be no mistaking the reality of the situation, no matter how many times the subject has been tampered with via mainstream media.
So what is the deal? Is this Great Galactic Alignment controversy real or just another eye candy theory spawning off the mother ship of 2012 and the Mayan calendar theory popularity? The Object Report over the last few years has posted many links on the galactic center controversy, so the Agents are aware that there are in-depth articles on the subject of the galactic alignment which go into great detail, so for this Object Special Report I would like to take a couple of steps back, analyze where we stand at this moment, literally speaking, and determine what the most recent data snap shot indicates.
What is the galactic alignment? There are many shapes, sizes and configurations of galaxies in our universe. Our galaxy is of the barred spiral galaxy classification and likely contains at minimum 100 billion planets among its 1 trillion stars. This is a staggering number but even more mind blowing is the reality that there are trillions more galaxies in the visible Universe, each galaxy with an equal number of stars and planets and there are likely an infinite number of Universes in the infinity matrix. Aside from staggering numbers - the most pressing aspect of the shape of our galaxy is the fact that our Milky Way galaxy is flat, so all of the light, gravity, mass and quantum energy contained in our Milky Way is in general spread out across the disc in a rather tight, narrow beam akin to the energy coming from a spinning airport traffic control radar dish. The focused beams from a lighthouse on the ocean would be another good analogy with extra-dimensional (quantum) energy being emitted/absorbed from the center of our Milky Way galaxy - possibly originating from a central, super-massive black hole. There is also the energy and mass of the stars which makeup the galaxy body - and there are countless black-holes spread out along the disk in addition to the super-massive black hole at the center of our galaxy. It is important to also note here that when we mentally visualize our galaxy we are conceptualizing an impossibly large construct with evolutionary brain horsepower that has fine tuned around visual objects and an organic understanding of 3D space with concepts such as mass, momentum, acceleration, temperature - yet there is more beyond living human senses, that affects us. Quantum phenomenon cannot readily be visualized with organs, humans do however have the ability with their unique conscious intelligence to, in a way, visualize the quantum phenomenon realm as well. When dealing with quanta or more broadly expressed, quantum phenomenon - we have the impossibly simple concept of waves and thresholds. Everything in existence is made solely from thresholds and interference patterns within eternal, primordial waves. Threshold is magical in quantum phenomenon for it bridges together the light speed physical 3D world with the magical unseen world of instant and infinite. Earth's long-count trajectory and galactic alignment combine two mega-concepts together when the 3D shape of our galactic energy-band and the Earth's position within it, impact with the ultra-concept of quanta, in which galactic energy rises directly affect established quantum thresholds in our local space. Quanta events can be almost binary in nature, you either have the energy or you do not. What if we have been lacking a certain level of local space quantum-energy, in which the Earth swims? What if our local quadrant and local torsion field take on board more energy and thresholds are broken in an instant?
Multi-dimensional energy originating from this ultra-massive black hole and from the central region of the galaxy in general is most dense in the middle of the flat aspect of our galaxy, as the graphic at top roughly demonstrates. The Earth and other stars in our quadrant are once again in a natural motion, drifting into this high energy zone. This controversial cycle of our local solar quadrant drifting in and out of this galactic alignment middle zone, or high density zone, seems to happen roughly every 25,000 years. It is a natural motion within complex galaxies, but when living beings with quantum minds are scurrying around on the crust of one of the planets at just the right time as it enters the alignment zone, strange things happen to those beings (supposedly). What happens? That is the million dollar question everyone is in a flurry to figure out. The Earth aligning with the density zone of the galaxy and being influenced by extra gravity and light, in itself would not be that remarkable at first glance, however if we consider the quanta factor of this cosmic alignment and assume a super-massive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is emitting the deepest quantum energy - it would be an entirely different issue. Do we have any proof whatsoever of a mysterious quantum energy factor in our Milky Way galaxy? Well, strangely enough, yes we do and it is called 'dark matter'.
What is dark matter? Physicist at this moment are left speculating and most scientists suggest they do not know, but we have a good idea of what dark matter is and in fact, the escoteric data stream now coming through the human collective consciousness that is called the "internet" has a transmission in the form of KRYON, a quantum supreme being who has described verbally what dark matter is. KRYON roughly states that dark matter is instantaneous quantum energy from other, unseen dimensions and in fact our entire galaxy is locked together and rotates in one, interlinked-quantum-state. Knowing so very little about dark matter, perhaps it could be asked, why even bring up the subject if it is yet undefined? The enigma of dark matter is so great it represents the possibility for us to suggest this is instrumental physical evidence that points to a potentially esoteric nature of dark matter. The mere fact that scores of scientists and astrophysicists cannot explain dark matter suggests they indeed cannot identify its nature because it is paranormal, or esoteric and we have not yet achieved instruments advanced and sensitive enough to help us understand energy outside of our dimensional constant. We can only observe reality at our light speed, another, nearby dimensional plane likely has another light speed constant (relative to ours if put side by side).
What are the scenarios for the Earth entering a galactic sweet spot? Scenario one: nothing happens! Scenario two: the EIRM (Esoteric Internet Rumor Machine) indicates this great galactic alignment will result in a change of energy density of our local quadrant, our solar system. The energy change will be on a multi-dimensional level, again with the dominant source being that of the super-dense-mass at the center of our galaxy. It will be a period for humans in which the fundamental laws of physics will be ever so slightly altered and time and space itself will be affected. Because the human mind is quantum based and exists outside of space and time and mass, the great alignment likely represents a sort of "quantum-tunneling" whereby the physicality of our human existence will be brought closer to our eternal quantum aspect and we will be that much closer to what we call the 4th dimension, the supernatural, or the light body.
Do we have any proof of this supernatural transition happening now? Any proof something is cooking? Again, we swing around to same ole problem of elusive tangible proof. Running The Object Report, Agent K and I sometimes feel like the owners of a high-rise apartment building and we are perpetually stuck trying to collect rent from the tenets and they never pay up. We can hear the party and thumping bass behind the closed door, but if we knock to collect rent, there is never an answer, never tangible proof handed to us. It sounds hopeless, but many of us die hard Ufologists, including Agent K and myself, have had personal UFO sightings and esoteric experiences - so I know on an idiosyncratic level something is going on. I cannot prove it readily to you, but I know it in my own personal reality sphere. With all of these massive theories floating around, such as Grays, hybrid beings, abductions, disclosure, galactic alignment - it's all so huge at some point something has to give, the dam must burst and surely the proof comes spilling forth. We are still waiting on absolute physical proof, that is obvious. We do however, keep receiving these curious, mass-less neutrino-like packets of information from fresh sources. Recently we have begun posting several interviews with Corey Goode who talks at length about his experience in the organization we might refer loosely to as MILAB. Corey delves effortlessly into astounding detail regarding his experience in this ultra-secret organization but the gold is his knowledge base of the great-alignment phenomenon and the suggestion that ultra-advanced Avian Beings (Ra) have placed a cloaked grid around the solar system to buffer our entry into the high energy zone, to smooth things out as it were. This is all beyond ridiculous sounding, no... even Agent D has to admit it is absolutely impossible sounding. I love that it is impossible and ludicrous, because I would expect actual ET contact and cosmic revelations to occur in such a dramatic, mind blowing fashion - in a way that is bigger than our brains can absorb. Not only do we have Corey Good describing how our solar system has just been placed in a "lock-down" by supreme beings - we simultaneously have FLAWLESS, incoming bio-transmissions from trance-channelers such as Suzanna over at Universal Gateway which indicate supreme beings are disseminating to humans, some form of instructions on how to defend ourselves against mind control and self destruction during this hyper-space hoopla. I find it awfully coincidental that so many people are harping on about the same subject in such detail and intensity. The information is so profound, intense, and in some ways demanding, that I believe most readers simply tune-out and switch-off when they initially touch upon these articles and YouTube videos. As I stated before in previous blogger entries, I suspect many readers ignore these connect-the-dots facts because it simply does not agree with their preconceived notion of how ET-Human contact should unfold. I would crawl further out on the limb and say (nearly) all previous theories about disclosure or ET contact, have in themselves been a form of mind-control, to constantly keep people off the real trail, as it were. I'm not suggesting you should morph into some sort of "BELIEVER" or convert to particular wild theories, but I do suggest at a minimum simply be aware of subtle events around you and degausse the brain and shake off mass-cliche-expectations - even those originating from the established UFO community.
This great alignment information has been repeated several times from the EIRM (pronounced "ugh,, ermmm") so we once again have this odd, repeating collusion of data that reinforces itself through its sheer repetition and refusal to die out. Obviously, if our quadrant, our local solar system, our Earth is slowly entering into a high energy zone of the great galactic disk center and it is a cycle that occurs every twenty five thousand years, it is certainly not an ET or supreme being created event - it is a natural, cosmic event. It is however, a quantum phenomenon which ultra-advanced beings who live outside of time and space (as we know it) would be aware of and it would make sense that the galactic alignment would serve as focal point in a cosmic calendar for ETs and supreme beings existing in higher dimensions to take advantage of. In a nutshell, they would know about it and know exactly when its going to occur and in what manner. Supreme beings would "see it coming from a mile away" so to speak, even if we humans are not aware or not fully understanding. Entry into a galactic alignment zone could serve a higher, supreme force in ways we cannot imagine yet, but we know that quantum phenomenon is the nature of this gateway. This mystical, enigmatic energy could be and likely will be a catalyst for future activity that will see enlightened humans given a quantum level ability to interact with higher dimensional beings in a way that would otherwise not be possible, until one has died and entered higher realms through death and the loss of their 3D body or physical mass. Taking this to its wildest speculation and potential - we could be entering hyperspace not in death, but in physical form as living, breathing beings perhaps in some sort of quasi-density format whereby we are alive and solid, yet can move more freely through time and space and interact with a greater multiverse. This is all ongoing and I predict events will increase in intensity and escalate to a point of ET/Galactic contact and transformation of the collective human mind either through the field itself or perhaps through means not yet imagined.

It's been a while since we posted an Object Special Report and I feel that with all of this Secret Space Program whistle-blowing occurring right now this might be a good opportunity to share a personal experience involving one of my family members. I recently spoke with him and asked permission to tell his story to which he agreed as long as I changed the name and a few key dates.
Some Brief History
My cousin, we'll call him Douglas for the purposes of this article, spent over 15 years working for AT&T's research & development lab in Murray Hill, New Jersey as a high-level supercomputer technician with security clearance. I won't go into too much detail about what his job entailed, simply that his specialty was Cray supercomputers, of which AT&T had at least one at that time. This time frame I will be speaking of was 1981 to 1984, Doug had already worked for the company as a contractor for a number of years prior to this and was brought into full time employment with AT&T Labs in 1980. He is quickly approaching retirement age and hasn't worked for AT&T for quite some time which is why I can write about this now.
If you met Doug you would immediately realize how huge of a tech-geek he is, he's on top of the latest computer-tech news and you'll find him routinely fixing computers for friends and family. He graduated with a degree from a university in upstate New York and he has multiple technical certifications under his belt going back to the 70's. He is fundamentally an intelligent, tech savvy guy.
Obtaining Security Clearance
Early in 1981 almost everyone in the family as well as friends of ours were approached by agents from the FBI since the position Doug was accepting required a full background check as well as in-person interviews with family and friends. This is standard operating procedure for anyone accepting a job that requires a high level of security clearance. Douglas received his security clearance a few months later and began work at the Murray Hill research facility known at that time as Bell Labs. In 1984 it became "AT&T Bell Laboratories" and held that name until 1995.

In 1980, the TDMA and CDMA digital cellular telephone technology was patented. In 1982, Fractional quantum Hall effect was discovered by Horst Störmer and former Bell Laboratories researchers Robert B. Laughlin and Daniel C. Tsui; they consequently won a Nobel Prize in 1998 for the discovery. In 1986, the programming language C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension to the original C language, also developed at Bell Laboratories. And in 1984, the first photoconductive antennas for picosecond electromagnetic radiation were demonstrated by Auston and others. This type of antenna became an important component in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. So needless to say, AT&T/Bell Labs have been a crucial component of advanced telecom research for decades.
Visiting Bell Labs Underground
CRAY-1 Supercomputer
On a sweltering summer day in August of 1983 Doug was summoned to the Murray Hill facility to "swap out several HSD's on one of the CRAY 1 computers" by his supervisor. An HSD is a hot-swappable drive which at the time was a fairly new technology and only technicians who were properly trained to deal with such tech were allowed to work on these systems. Doug floated around between various facilities throughout the northeast as he was needed and was based out of a satellite office in Newark, NJ. He had been to the Murray Hill facility many times in the years prior to this but never to work specifically on one of the CRAYs, this one in particular being located in an underground level below the main facility.
When he arrived, he signed in and was quickly escorted by two armed guards both dressed in white button-down shirts with the Bell logo to an elevator which took them down to this sub-level. He wasn't sure how far down they went, only that it took the elevator less than a minute to reach this level. He guessed it was maybe 2 or 3 stories underground, there were no floor numbers in the elevator to indicate what level they were on. As the door opened one of the guards said to him, "Try not to look around too much, some of this stuff is above your pay grade" in a mildly sarcastic tone.
They exited the elevator into a small annex that had a listing of research labs along with lab room numbers and arrows pointing left and right to indicate the direction of each lab. They turned right into a long, brightly lit and fairly wide corridor. On both sides of this corridor were floor to ceiling length glass windows. Without being too conspicuous, Doug noted that most of the glass windows were brightly lit from within, but you could only see into a few of them, the rest appeared to be frosted glass. Years later he would learn that those windows were electrically polarized to keep prying eyes from seeing things they shouldn't. Regardless of this fact, one particular lab was fully visible and what he got a glimpse of would stick with him for the rest of his life.

In his own words, he describes what he saw.
"This was 1983 and robotics was still a new field so at the time I had no reference to compare this against. It wasn't until the following year that the movie Terminator hit theaters, and I swear to God what I saw in that lab looked exactly like the Terminator endoskeleton. It looked like a human being that had all of it's skin removed but instead of flesh and bone it had metallic tendons and muscles. It's skeleton was identical to a humans, it even had a full rib cage, only it was all metallic. I turned stark white when that endoskeleton crawled out of the fire at the end of the movie. I had already seen this thing in the basement of Bell Labs! It totally freaked me out."
He said there were several technicians working on this 'endoskeleton' which was laying on a table tilted at a 45 degree angle, almost like a dentist chair. He immediately wondered why they would have something like this on display, but thinking back on it later he figured they probably didn't know a technician was going to be coming down here on that particular day. He said the experience shook him to the core because it seemed so advanced and so far beyond what the known state of the art was at that time that it almost seemed 'alien' to him in some ways.
Meeting a CRAY
At the end of this corridor were a set of double-doors that opened up into a very large room with a high ceiling where the CRAY was located. This was one of the older "1" series machines which would be replaced by an X-MP/24 in November of 1985. The guards told him to use the phone to contact them when he was done so he could be escorted back out and reminded him not to leave the room. As they left, one of the doors was left cracked open as it apparently didn't automatically close. Moments later Doug hears a female voice very clearly say "Please close the door." He looked around expecting to see someone standing behind him. The voice said "This is a temperature controlled room, please close the door"and it was then he realized it was a computerized voice telling him this. Again, his mind was blown since this was all cutting edge technology at the time. It doesn't sound like much to us in 2016, but 30+ years ago this was stuff straight out of science-fiction movies. Literally.
CRAY X-MP/24 Supercomputer
Once he completed the drive swap, he called the guards as instructed and they showed up a few minutes later to retrieve him. Oddly enough, they took an entirely different route back to the top level via a stairwell at the end of a totally different hallway. Perhaps the guards realized their mistake in walking this computer tech down a hallway filled with research labs? That's purely speculative. They boarded an elevator one level up from where the CRAY was and returned to the ground level. I have to stress that this wasn't like some major underground base, this was simply a sub-basement level that was filled with individual labs. They walked past vending machines, break rooms and bathrooms, all very prosaic stuff. Aside from that android laying on the table, of course.
Pentiums Before There Were Pentiums
Another tidbit of information that I found fascinating, albeit not all that surprising, was the fact that scientists working at AT&T/Bell Labs in 1983 were using 90mhz Intel "Pentium" CPU's in their workstations. But wait Agent K, I thought the fifth-generation x86 architecture wasn't introduced to the market until 1993? That's correct folks, it wasn't released to the public for a full decade after it was introduced to the private research sector. Of course in 1983 it wasn't called the "Pentium" which was a name coined by Lexicon Branding, a company hired to give the new processor a catchy name instead of a numerical designation. Doug just internally referred to it as the "586 processor" at the time. Workstation components were being supplied directly to the labs from a development group within Intel. There were many instances where he would be sent to work on a machine that he had never seen before so he was usually given a resource to contact that would be able to answer technical questions he might have.
Casio TV-10 LCD TV
This wasn't the only thing he witnessed during his time at the labs. Most of the high-level research workstations were using flat glass display panels. The way Doug described these was like if you took the screen off one of the very first laptops ever to be introduced and attached it to a stand. It was still extremely early LCD technology so it wasn't the clearest or most colorful display, but more of them could be used in a given work space over the large footprint of CRT's. To put this in perspective, the first commercially available LCD TV was the Casio TV-10 which was introduced in 1983 and had standard definition resolution and poor color reproduction.
A few years later he said he spoke to another tech friend of his who also worked for the lab, he told Doug that he had seen some research being done on using lasers to write data on crystalline cubes in order to store vast amounts of information. It was fully rewritable and had the approximate footprint of a cube of sugar. When you really think about it this is all mind boggling stuff for some 30+ years ago.
So what is my point to all of this? The point is that the true level of state-of-the-art technology that private research corporations such as AT&T possess is decades ahead of what is available to the public. Not just years--decades. So when we see these whistle-blowers such as Corey Goode and William Tompkins talk about secret space program technology like 'glass pads' and kilometer-long spacecraft designs, it's not that far of a stretch to believe that this stuff all exists and has so for 60+ years. We live in a tightly controlled, tightly regulated atmosphere of technological disclosure. Sure, everything is constantly getting better, faster, smaller and cheaper. We now live in a world where we just replace and upgrade our existing technology with the 'next better thing' and the cycle continues to repeat itself. What we don't realize (yet) is the 'next better thing' is still at least two decades behind the true state of the art. Given knowledge like this, imagining a secret space program with electrogravitic ships and reverse engineered alien technology now seems almost mundane. Agent K
The Be star spins at extremely high velocidad, ejecting matter through an equatorial disc. Part of this matter falls on to the black hole forming an accretion disc.

First Black Hole Orbiting a ‘Spinning’ Star
Spanish scientists have discovered the first binary system ever known to consist of a black hole and a ‘spinning’ star — or more accurately, a Be-type star. Although predicted by theory, none had previously been found. The observations that led to the discovery were performed with the Liverpool and Mercator telescopes at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (Canary Islands, Spain). The discovery is published today in Nature.
Be-type stars are quite common across the Universe. In our Galaxy alone more than 80 of them are known in binary systems together with neutron stars. ‘Their distinctive property is their strong centrifugal force: they rotate very fast, close to their break-up speed. It’s like they were cosmic spinning tops,’says Jorge Casares of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and La Laguna University (ULL). Casares is the lead author and an expert in stellar-mass black holes (he presented the first solid proof of their existence back in 1992).
The newly discovered black hole orbits the Be star known as MWC 656, located in the constellation Lacerta (the Lizard) — 8,500 light years from Earth. The Be star rotates so fast that its surface speed exceeds 1 million kilometres per hour. ‘We started studying this star back in 2010, when space telescopes detected transient gamma-ray emission coming from its direction,’ explains Marc Ribó, of the Institut de Ciències del Cosmos of Barcelona University (ICC/IEEC-UB). ‘No more gamma-ray emission has subsequently been detected, but we found that the star was part of a binary system,’ he adds.
A detailed analysis of its spectrum allowed scientists to infer the characteristics of its companion. ‘It turned out to be an object with a mass between 3.8 and 6.9 solar masses. An object like that, invisible to telescopes and with such large mass, can only be a black hole, because no neutron star with more than three solar masses can exist,’ states Ignasi Ribas, of CSIC in the Instituto de Ciencias del Espacio (IEEC-CSIC).
The black hole orbits the (more massive) Be star and is fed by matter ejected from the latter. ‘The high rotation speed of the Be star causes matter to be ejected into an equatorial disc. This matter is attracted by the black hole and falls on to it, forming another disc — called an “accretion disc”‘. By studying the emission from the accretion disc we could analyse the motion of the black hole and measure its mass,’ comments Ignacio Negueruela, a lecturer at the University of Alicante (UA).
Scientists believe this object to be a nearby member of a hidden population of Be stars paired with black holes. ‘We think these systems are much more common than previously thought, but they’re difficult to detect because their black holes are fed from gas ejected by the Be stars without producing much radiation, in a “silent” way, so to speak. However, we hope to detect other similar binary systems in the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies by using bigger telescopes, such as the Gran Telescopio Canarias,’ concludes Casares.
Also participating in the study with Jorge Casares, Ignacio Negueruela, Marc Ribó and Ignasi Ribas are Josep M. Paredes , of Institut de Ciències del Cosmos of Barcelona University (ICC/IECC-UB) and Artemio Herrero and Sergio Simón, both from the IAC and ULL.
Black holes, an ongoing challenge
The detection of black holes has been a challenge since their existence was first surmised by John Michell and Pierre Laplace in the 18th century. Given that they are invisible — their enormous gravitational force prevents light from escaping — telescopes cannot detect them. However, black holes can occasionally trigger high energy radiation from the environment surrounding them and can thus be traced by X-ray satellites. This is the case with active black holes, fed by matter transferred from a nearby star. If violent X-ray emission is detected from a place where nothing but a normal star is seen, a black hole might be hiding there.
Using this method, researchers have discovered 55 potential black holes over the last 50 years. Seventeen of them have what astronomers call a ‘dynamic confirmation’: the feeding star has been localised, allowing for the mass of its invisible companion to be measured. If it is above three solar masses, then it is considered to be a black hole.
The biggest problem is put forth by ‘dormant’ black holes, such as the one found by the Spanish researchers: ‘Their X-ray emission is almost absent, and so it is very unlikely that our attention would be drawn to them,’ Casares explains. Researchers believe there are thousands of black hole binary systems across the Milky Way, some of them also with Be-type stellar companions.
Legend has it that the alien grave in Aurora lies underneath the bent arm of an old tree, far left, in the Aurora Cemetery. Requests to exhume the body in the past have been denied by the cemetery board.
Aurora UFO crash remains a Texas alien mystery
By John Boyd
Aurora, Texas was Roswell before Roswell: a middle-of-nowhere town that suddenly became surrounded by legend when an alleged alien visitor crash-landed from outer space.
On this date in 1897 the alien UFO allegedly smashed into a windmill belonging to Judge J.S. Proctor. It’s pilot, who an officer from a local Army outpost described as a “Martian” and “not of this world” died and was buried in the cemetery nearby.
The reported crash was one of several American alien mysteries of the mid-1890s, but the most notable one (if not only) recorded in Texas.
Today, the only reminder of the visit, which occurred on this date in 1897, is a small historical marker near the Aurora Cemetery.
Buried deep in its stories of town founders and war heroes is a single line about the visitor supposedly buried in an unmarked grave there:
“The oldest known graves, here, dating from as early as the 1860s, are those of the Randall and Rowlett families. Finis Dudley Beauchamp (1825-1893), a Confederate veteran from Mississippi, donated the 3-acre site to the newly- formed Aurora Lodge No. 479, A.F. & A.M., in 1877. For many years, this community burial ground was known as Masonic Cemetery. Beauchamp, his wife Caroline (1829-1915), and others in their family. An epidemic which struck the village in 1891 added hundreds of graves to the plot. Called “Spotted Fever” by the settlers, the disease is now thought to be a form of meingitis. Located in Aurora Cemetery is the gravestone of the infant Nellie Burris (1891-1893) with its often-quoted epitaph: “As I was so soon done, I don’t know why I was begun.” This site is also well-known because of the legend that a spaceship crashed nearby in 1897 and the pilot, killed in the crash, was buried here. Struck by epidemic and crop failure and bypassed by the railroad, the original town of Aurora almost disappeared, but the cemetery remains in use with over 800 graves. Veterans of the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean and Vietnam conflicts are interred here.”
The single line seems about as interested as Aurora is in becoming famous from the supposed crash.
On the 110th anniversary of the crash, former Houston Chronicle writer Eyder Peralta (now with NPR)visited Aurora, 30 miles north of Fort Worth and found the townsfolk mostly apathetic about the alien visitor then, or the scores of new human visitors who have come to visit the infamous crash site.
The visitors had been fun at first, but when they began trampling the cemetery and stealing headstones and other artifacts from the city museum, the town’s notoriety became a nuisance.
In the 1970s, a group from the International UFO Bureau showed up to exhume the body – media in tow – but were turned away by angry residents.
“There was quite a mess,” one resident, Karen Tedrow, told Peralta. “The residents had guns and everything, because they didn’t want them to do it. And I understand, because my parents are buried there, and I don’t want them digging around. Earthly body or not, they ought to let it rest in peace.”
Filer’s Files # 29 – 2016 President Reagan’s Diary about our Space Ships - PART I

Filer’s Files # 29 – 2016 President Reagan’s Diary about our Space Ships - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: President Reagan’s Diary, NASA Director Dr. Kurt Debus, Stargate Chronicles, The Curious Case of the Gosport Fisherman, Aeroscraft, ISS Spots UFO, and Talk by NFL Football Player Willie Green.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arab Emirates, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Russia, Sweden, Turkey 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.

Recently, the National Archive Records Administration made available almost 250,000 pages of documents from President Reagan’s administration. It will take several months for researchers to read through the documents. The released material may yield insight into a curious comment found in President Reagan’s Diary.
The entry for Tuesday, June 11, 1985 (page 334) reads:
Lunch with 5 top space scientists.
“It was fascinating. Space truly is the last frontier and some of the developments there in astronomy etc. are like science fiction, except they are real. I learned that our shuttle capacity is such that we could orbit 300 people.”
Note: This would indicate a space ship at least as large as a 747-8 aircraft that is 250 feet long. It is likely much bigger to accommodate sleeping quarters, kitchen facilities, bathrooms, storage radar and weapons.The now grounded Space Shuttle held a maximum of eight people and only five were built for space flight. Even if all five took off fully loaded it would be impossible to place and maintain 300 astronauts in orbit. Apparently President Reagan revealed the existence of a highly classified space program that could accommodate hundreds of astronauts in orbit?
NASA Director Dr. Kurt Debus
Dr. Von Braun and Dr. Debus
Naval engineer William Tomkins was hired by Dr. Kurt Debus the first NASA Director. Kurt Heinrich Debus[ was a German V-2 rocket scientist who, after being brought to the United States under Operation Paperclip, became the first director of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in 1962 and served until 1974. Dr. Debus was appointed by Adolph Hitler during World War II as the V-weapons flight director and was actively engaged I rocket research program atPeenemunde, Germany and the development of the V-2 rocket. According to Tomkins Dr Debus told him much of the rocket and UFO technology came from extraterrestrials. William Tomkins designed the Mission Control Center for the various missile launches. Tomkins also helped design the advanced Space ships now operating in space.
Debus directed the design, development, construction and operation of NASA’s Saturn launch facilities at the north end of Cape Canaveral and adjacent Merritt Island in Florida. Under him, NASA conducted 150 launches of military missiles and space vehicles, including 13 Saturn V rockets, the booster for the Apollomanned moon landings.
The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) was proposed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan on March 23, 1983, to use ground- and space-based systems to protect the United States from attack by strategic nuclear ballistic missiles. The Strategic Defense Initiative was set up in 1984 becoming the most expensive weapons system ever, and “was widely criticized as being unrealistic, as well as for threatening to destabilize MAD and re-ignite “an offensive arms race” between the Soviets and the United States. It was soon derided and called Star Wars. According to William Tomkins Star Wars exists and several countries in the United Nations have joined together to fight off negative extra terrestrials. There is good reason to believe that the billions spent to develop an effective system may now exist.
Rumors that the U.S. has a highly classified fleet of antigravity vehicles have circulated for years. On March 23, 1993, at an engineering conference in Los Angeles, Dr. Ben Rich former CEO of Lockheed’s Skunkworks, showed a slide with a black disk headed for space and said: “We now have the technology to take ET home”.
In his book, “The Hunt for Zero Point,” Jane’s Defense Weekly analyst Nick Cook writes “there has been speculation since the late 1980s about the existence of a secret replacement for the Blackbird, a mythical plane called the Aurora that supposedly flew twice as fast and on the edges of space” (p. 14). Other whistleblowers such as Edgar Fouche, a former contractor with the Department of Defense, have come forward to claim that the Blackbird’s replacement, the Aurora actually comprises two types of hypersonic aircraft used for space flight. He said: “The Aurora comprises the SR-75 capable of speeds above Mach 5, and acts as a mother ship for the SR-74 that can travel at speeds of Mach 18 or more into space to deliver satellites.”
More significant is the large black triangular vehicle, the TR-3B that Fouche claims generates an intense magnetic field that reduces its weight by 89 percent. He says that the TR-3B uses the Biefeld-Brown effect (created by large electrostatic charges) to reduce its weight so that more conventional propulsion systems such as scramjets can give it amazing speeds. This would be well above Mach 18 that he claims is the speed of the SR-74. Fouche claims the TR-3B is 600 feet across which would make it similar in size to an aircraft carrier.
Ted Twietmeyer writes that a Space Command photograph had the following citation: … highlights the team for its exceptional support in keeping the space shuttle, International Space Station and its crews safe from the dangers of orbital debris, spacecraft collisions and other inherent hazards of orbit operations.
The US Air Force has not admitted to having any kind of space vehicle that would assist the Space Shuttle or International Space Station from orbital dangers.
Space Ship in space
Normally, both NASA vehicles would require gradual orbital corrections that would take much time and be insufficient to deal with an immediate threat. According to Ted Twietmeyer, the citation is circumstantial evidence for the existence of antigravity vehicles with advanced particle beam weapons that could remove orbital debris from the path of NASA vehicles. These space ships must be armed with particle beam or quantum weaponry, chemical lasers or electrically excited reactor powered lasers and other weaponry. These weapons could also be used to destroy objects in the path of the space station or space shuttle. There were several eyewitness reports of hovering black triangles firing at targets in Iraq during the early days of the war.
There is a massive anti-gravity energy field surrounding these vehicles which interferes with all electronic devices, making it unlikely anyone could ever get good images of them. War has historically been the best proving ground for all new weapons. In the UK, the press and media are forbidden under the UK Secrets Act from reporting on sightings of black triangles. That act speaks volumes about whether or not black triangles exist. The TR-3 has been in service since the mid-1990, and NASA’s space shuttle program was nothing more than on-going entertainment to distract the public.
The Stargate Chronicles
Michael E. Salla, PhD writes, “The idea that a secret space fleet exists that can intervene to assist the Space Shuttle or International Space Station is also supported by the testimony of a former NASA employee Clark McClelland.”
On one occasion he claims to have witnessed a delta winged antigravity vehicle nearby. The delta shaped vehicle may in fact have been part of a classified Space Fleet attached to U.S. Strategic Command. http://www.stargate-chronicles.com/site/
Important clues may emerge from the recently released Reagan records about Strategic Command’s classified space fleet. More significantly, the public may soon learn about the advanced antigravity technologies that have been secretly developed and used for decades to fly military astronauts into deep space. Many of the Paperclip scientists worked at the (Air Material Command’s) Foreign Technology Division at Wright Field, Ohio? Two Paper Clip scientists at Wright Field were Dr. Hans Amtmann and Dr. Alexander Lippisch who designed the ME 163 Rocket aircraft and swept wing designs. One was named Siegfried Knemeyer was a former Nazi Luftwaffe Pilot and RLM Director of the German Air Ministry that created the various planes like the Messerschmitt, Junker, and may have influenced the V-1 and V-2 rockets at Peenemunde. They allegedly helped in back engineering the Roswell and Socorro UFOs. http://www.stargate-chronicles.com/site/
The Curious Case of the Gosport Fisherman
By Bob Spearing MUFON Assistant National Director of India, Star Team International Case Assistance Group, Special Assignment Team and NJ MUFON State Section Director, MUFON Case # 68712, Stokes Bay, Gosport, U.K. – RESOLVED –Unknown Aerial Vehicle, Possible Abduction.
Early on the morning of July 22, 2015 around 1:50 am, Don Martin (his real name) felt an unusual compulsion to gather up his fishing tackle and head out to Stokes Bay Beach in Gosport, Hampshire U.K. and see if the fish were biting even at such an ungodly hour. It had been a rough couple of years for Don. Heart problems, medical setbacks and procedures punctuated his life. He was a Mini Bus driver for disabled children before his ill health forced him into early retirement at the age of 62 this last year.
Two years back he had a very unusual experience in the doctor’s office. With his arm held out by a nurse during a procedure and looking into the doctor’s eyes, he saw what appeared to be colorful star-like shapes float across the room and enter his right eye in a sort of psychic experience. As odd as the experience was, he kept it to himself. Perhaps it was just his blood pressure acting up and causing spots before his eyes. There would be another similar corresponding episode. Then something unusual happened in March of 2015. His nightly ritual entailed looking out his window to ascertain the weather. It was approximately 9:30 pm. He was taken back by what he saw.
Something caught my eye. Above the house approximately 30 feet above there was a disc 30 to 40 feet across, metallic silver, 6 blood red “ports” in a circle .It was very sharp and a gold color to my eye. I could not work out why this thing was above the house nor understand its unusual red colored windows. The base of the object was concave. I`m sure this sighting went on for at least ten minutes.”
Since the March 2015 event he has felt the necessity to become a vegetarian. This is one telltale sign of an abduction experience. Don is a congenial man. In my first interview with him he came across as coherent, reflective, and truthful and of sound mind but deeply disturbed by what was befalling him and how he felt isolated. His friends and life partner didn’t want to know. Then came that disastrous July 22nd early morning fishing excursion. With fishing pole in hand “I noticed a light high in the sky moving in a northeasterly direction. My initial thought: maybe satellite or possibly the international space station. After a few moments the light brightened. I looked for aircraft navigation lights. There were none. The light seemed to fall from the sky. A moment later a huge pulsing pure white “not reflective” light (it looked like a “blob” or a “splat”) was above me. I felt a pressure change and I remember taking an intake of breath. I was fixed to the spot trying to take in what I was witnessing. Then a large cream colored orb slowly ejected from the light object and ascended vertically above getting smaller to its zenith and started dancing about high in the sky. I noticed a very pale yellow haze around me. Moments later the main object started to dim. Until this moment I did not see a solid craft. What I did see then was what I thought looked like the top of the Eiffel Tower, a solid aerial perhaps, definitely looking metallic. The main object blinked out. The small orb was still high in the sky. Then I saw another light which I believe was the main object connect to the small orb then both moved off to the northeast for a few seconds then blinked out.”
An oddity Don relates about the sighting is that the main blob of light seemed to be dropping globs of some material on the ground.
Don’s case to this point is eerily reminiscent of the Pascagoula Abduction on October 11, 1973 when two fishermen, Charles Hicks and the younger Calvin Parker, fishing on the western bank of the Pascagoula River in Mississippi saw two flashing blue lights and an oval object descend upon them. “Conscious but paralyzed” while three “creatures” took them aboard the object, they were subjected to an examination before being releasing by the presumed robots.
While in the yellow haze Don felt a sense of peacefulness but immediately afterwards the feeling was panic. Don still worries that they will return for him. Why? Well maybe it is the suppressed memories that have begun resurfacing at odd intervals. Don can’t account for 20 minutes. Enraptured in the haze he felt calmness but nothing else. What went on for twenty minutes? While in the yellow haze he suddenly remembers a small entity” marshaling” him somewhere.
He subsequently begins to have flashbacks of huge tunnels with artificial light with entities pushing carts going by. He also remembers entities in groups like military formations passing each other in units on this large tunnel-like highway. Like Travis Walton related in his experience, the interior of the “ship” seemed far larger than the exterior in his flashbacks.
Next there came the beautiful woman with blond hair, blue eyes and a supple fertile pear shaped body. Was Don a contactee like the late George Adamski dubiously was? Was he about to be told enduring words of wisdom such as” Cease your warlike ways. Your atomic bombs will only destroy your planet!” No. It turned dark for Don fast. There was no peace, love and understanding coming his way! The beautiful blonde ripped away her face revealing an insectoid countenance black and ant-like. This was no Grey. This was no human hybrid. This was an insectoid. More abduction scenario!
Then he was on a metal table. Sound familiar? The ant-like entity drew close. Its eye seemed to enlarge greatly distorting the face. It went eye to eye with Don.
Was this the bonding technique Dr. David Jacobs talks about in his book “Secret Life?” Or was it the great eyeball machine Budd Hopkins describes in his book “Missing Time?” Suddenly, in a reversal of his doctor’s office visit several years prior, manifestations of light seemed to exit from Don’s left eye into the insectoid’s eye. Ever since, Don has had a piercing ache behind his left eye.
Don even remembered in great detail the instrument one entity held in his hand and waved over him. It was a 4 inch long by 1 inch wide metal bar. It was like a tuning fork with the prongs touching each other. The metal was white and it had a faint pattern all over it like brickwork.
Something was happening to Don and it wasn’t very pleasant but it was all very familiar to anyone who has ever studied abduction phenomenon.
Being that I was in the U.S.A. as a member of the Star Team International Case Assistance Group helping with MUFON’s burgeoning backlog of cases due to our increasing popularity abroad, I needed to ask Don to do a little experiment for me. One of the telltale signs of abduction is the possible implantation of a device or object into the experiencer. A charmingly simple method for determining if an implant is in a body is to purchase a stud finder from a local hardware store which is an electro-magnet capable of finding metal nails in a wall. Used as an implant finding device, it is waved over the entire body looking for metal under the skin. Don purchased a Stanley Brand S100 stud finder for approximately fifteen dollars. Not only could it detect metal under the skin it also had an A/C function that could detect live electrical alternating current passing within three quarters of an inch from the surface of an object which in this case would be Don’s skin. There was no metal found in Don’s body scan. However, on the left side of Don’s neck and behind his left eye, the A/C detector tone went off as if some sort of electrical current was present in those areas. Don subsequently went for an MRI scan of his left eye for the pain he was experiencing but the test results were negative.
Don had a flashback where he was in a blue dome. It was a shimmering undulating material and it seemed like golden confetti fell from the ceiling where a large orange ball illuminated everything. This was his most pronounced and repetitive vision to date.
Don decided a solo sabbatical without his life partner to Greece was in order. He was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He checked into a vacation resort consisting of modest yellow bungalows called Aberdeen Studios on the Island of Thassos in Greece. He received no reprieve.
In the middle of the night he recalled everything going completely dark. He felt paralyzed yet totally awake. A hand was roughly trying to drag him from his bed.
The entity was a small bald silhouette and had a big thick neck when Don drew the courage to look. Either he or the entity said “Let Go!!” Don did not let go and he lapsed back into sleep. Case continued next week.
These high fidelity tests and demos, requested by the U.S. government under the Pentagon’s ‘Project Pelican’ Program, demonstrated the readiness of the Aeroscraft, a variable buoyancy air vehicle, to transition forward into initial serial production,” says Aeros’ CEO Igor Pasternak.
Additional out-of-hangar flight demonstrations are expected to finish on the scaled-down Aeroscraft vehicle, which will be conducted to further test sub-system integration and performance, and ultimately accelerate fleet development. Aeros has announced initial fleet development plans for 22 full-sized, globally-deployable Aeroscrafts in two configurations, one for airlifting 66 tons and one for 250-tons.
The Aeroscraft features a proprietary internal buoyancy management that compresses inert helium within to overcome traditional requirements for external ballast exchange when unloading cargo from lighter-than-air vehicles. This eliminates need for ground personnel and infrastructure, and allows VTOL flight. First flight Tustin, Ca. fall 2013.
ISS Spots UFO
A tantalizing new piece of footage from the ISS live feed on July 9, 2016, sees an anomalous glowing object seemingly about to enter Earth’s atmosphere before the broadcast abruptly stops. The object itself is not particularly noteworthy and appears as simply a glowing dot slowly descending towards the planet. What raised eyebrows among UFO enthusiasts was the incredible but all-too-familiar ending to the footage. After an almost agonizingly long wait for the object to reach the Earth’s atmosphere, the feed suddenly stops and a technical difficulties message appears just as it is about to unfold. The ‘coincidental’ timing, coupled with the increasing number of times such a turn of events has occurred in recent years, adds fuel to the conspiracy theory that the ‘powers that be’ cut the ISS feed to censor UFOs. NASA denied any ISS UFO censorship conspiracy back in April, but, as we predicted, their statement has not put a stop to the continual barrage of videos allegedly showing the cover-up in action. Incoming UFOs are reported at least twice a week. Coast Insiders looking for more insight into UFO captured on space footage can revisit the 9/17/2015edition of the program when researcher Mark Peters discussed perhaps the most famous clip of all: the STS-48 video from Space Shuttle Discovery.

Sightings in the United States
California Lights
Merced— I was out for a late evening walk by a local canal bank on July 7, 2016, when I noticed, in my peripheral vision, two auburn colored lights rising from a tree line in the distance. At first I thought they may have been helicopters, since they were coming from the ‘somewhat’ general direction of a shuttered airbase (Castle AFB); but, being I’ve lived in the vicinity for over 40 years, and have seen many types of aircraft come and go, these looked like nothing I’d seen before. So, I stopped and took a photo of both orbs. As I was doing so, more started to ascend from the same general area, so I quickly switched my phone to ‘video’, and started to video them. Those were the first two of about 15 of those auburn colored orbs I witnessed. They came up from the north, low, over the horizon, slow and steady, apparently noiseless, in an unorganized assent and headed southeast, crossing over State Highway 99. They rose above the tree line and faded into the distance before blinking out. Also, anything with a prop, at the distance they were in comparison to the traffic, I would have definitely been able to hear. They didn’t have any other lamps. NOTE: This happened in Merced about 9:10 pm, just over the 16th Street overpass. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Light
Pueblo — I love to take pictures of the sky, as I am a sky watcher. I was standing on my upstairs back porch when I took these pictures. I did not physically see these glow objects that my friend on Earth Changes – Pole Shift, calls GLOFOs, until I saw them after I downloaded into my computer. Please give me some feedback on them. Thank you, so much. Dolores Frank in Pueblo, CO
Florida Light
Del R Beach — I was watching fireworks on July 4, 2016, when I saw an object that had a red light in front, and green in the back.
It came from the south, and then stopped over us before continuing to over the fireworks. It changed direction, then hovered, then moved again to Del Ray Beach. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Georgia Lights
Hartwell — These pictures were taken by my husband’s friend near their hometown of Hartwell, Ga. He commented on the fact that it was completely quiet while this was going on.
Not sure what they are, but I thought they were interesting enough to share just in case anyone knows what they might be. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Object
I have been trying to contact ET’s through meditation for some time before I came in contact with these artifacts. I would drive out into the country of the small town I live in and park to meditate late at night and ask for visual contact. I have had many successes witnessing what I believe to be UFO phenomenon, but I am the type that needs 100% proof/evidence. On May 13, 2015 around 3:45 pm, I was driving to a spot south of town which I rarely visited to meditate for contact. On the drive I was mentally asking to finally get a sign to understand/learn about these phenomena. Seconds later I heard/saw something that sounded like a rock hitting the windshield of my truck. I couldn’t believe what I saw, that looked like small metal shining balls in my windshield. I continued to the dead end road in the country where I was headed to examine/take pictures of the artifacts. I have tried to debunk the artifacts as something manmade such as bird shot but the pattern is too small. I was in the country in freshly seeded fields or very short vegetation. There is no way to get such a tight pattern on my windshield from a distance. There is a brownish burnt color below each ball. Metal balls were sealed into the window with no entry holes other than the brown color of the impact of each ball. I used a high speed engraver to cut out the entire pattern from my windshield and am interested to see what testing could be done to find the source whether ET or manmade. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maine Lights
I was in my home with my wife and teenage son and she looked out the window and saw a bright object. We all saw the object high in the sky that we filmed using 60x HD camcorder. We thought the object could be a large drone, possibly military. However, when we reviewed the video frame by frame it appears to spin and then disappear. The object hovered stationary for several minutes. Using my HD video camera zoomed in at 60x I could see an A frame shape for each structure with a red and green light in the middle. There were three bright white lights on top. It began spinning and then disappeared as shown on the video. It returned a few minutes later in the same location but facing a different direction. It hovered stationary again and then disappeared. The object turned red before it disappeared. We were excited to see the object. My wife posted the video clip to her Facebook account and friends were shocked. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nevada Object
Las Vegas— I went outside by the pool to relax on vacation at Caesars Palace on July 7, 2016, and spotted a spectacula sight. I saw four UFOs flying above while a small white object flew way above to the south of the flying objects. It was hovering in a vibrating pulsating motion. The UFOs look as though they were fighting. I have it on video. They turn their jets on and off. In the meantime, there were at least 50 helicopters that I saw flying about 100 feet above me trying to investigate what was going. This was something I had never never seen before. I was shaking for a few days.

New Jersey Disc
Longport — I was taking photos of small rainbow from the beach on July 7, 2016, and noticed an object in the photos when I reviewed them. I did not see the object but felt compelled to photo the sun when I saw the rainbow.
I took rapid photos only a few seconds apart.
I took several photos at the time of the incident, but the object only showed up in only two photos. What do you think it is?
I have never seen anything like this. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Lights
I was walking my dog when I noticed a UFO in the distance approaching at high speed.
It disappeared then reappeared and made sudden moments that a plane cannot make.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Objects
Lake Eire – I love Google Earth and exploring my area from my house to the lake on July 3, 2016, I found objects that I can’t explain.
I snapped several pictures with my cell phone camera of my computer. The images seem like someone was trying to cover up an object. If I moved out of a range, they looked as if something was shielding them. It almost looks to me like unexplainable objects and an underwater base.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Tennessee Orbs
Memphis — I was at work when I took this photo on July 12, 2016. I work in a warehouse only maybe five miles from Memphis International Airport. I was on my lunch break and saw a large military cargo plane (the kind that drops tanks out of the back with parachutes attached) taking off from the airport heading south. It then turned to head east as it was taking off. The plane made a small maneuver at a slow speed as the metallic orbs appeared out of the small clouds. I grabbed my phone to try and capture both the plane and the orbs closer together. The probable C-5 military plane can still be seen at the upper right. I stopped looking at the orbs to check the photo for both plane and orbs, and GOT THEM BOTH. When I looked back to the sky, I didn’t see the orbs any more. Also there appears to be a bird flying close to one of the orbs. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Lights
Virginia Beach — I was walking on the beach a little after 10 pm on April 24, 2016 when I noticed a red light that was stationary in the sky. I watched it for a few seconds to see if it was a military or civilian aircraft but I didn’t see the flashing lights you normally see on the wing tips.
I was standing about 100 meters west of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRB) and the object was over the bridge. It was the size of a baby aspirin. I pulled out my phoneand took videos.
After I restarted the camera the object began to slowly move north but disa
d when obscured by clouds. Lights from the HRBT itself are very bright. I have lived in the area for more than 20 years and spent much of that in the military but have no idea what it was. Thanks to MUFON
Washington Objects
Ephrata– The photographer shot this photo on July 5, 2016.
Apparently the witness did not see the objects and later discovered then in the background of the photo.
The witness has sent several other photos taken on various days. The objects in the photos could be birds or insects flying relatively close to the camera. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Lights
Port Phillip Bay— My Partner was taking a picture on her iPhone 4s of the sunset over Frankston, Victoria in 2014.
She didn’t notice the object she captured in the picture, but when she showed me I saw it straight away.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Brazil Objects
Santarem — This picture was taken with a personal cell phone with the low-Resolution on June 30, 2016, around 8:30 PM, in Lago Grande, in the state of Para, Brazil.
The student photo was sent to the field course professors from the Federal University of Para West. They asked about the event photo; if the author had observed any type of aircraft, helicopters, and birds of any type or a family fishing passing the boat.
The day was clear and sunny with few clouds. What are the flying objects that appear in the picture?
After being questioned Mesmo would like analyzing by MUFON. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Sphere
Whitby, Ontario – I was outside after 9:30 am enjoying a tea on June 30, 2016. The day was perfect being on holidays Then at exactly 10:10 am looking west I saw a very strange brilliant white morphing UFO BLOB to best describe it. It could maybe even be described like a low white small cloud. It moved less than the speed of a Cessna crossing the sky near 1000 feet high. It really had mass to it and appeared to be changing shape and heading southeast. Within fifteen seconds I grabbed my new camera to film it. My new camera was not responding as it was crossing right in front of me. So I grabbed my other camera off the deck table and started to take pictures and one short video clip. As it moved pass southward it started to glint a white light on and off. Probably due to the sun I lost sight of it in towards the sun as it travelled southeast. This sighting lasted about a minute Thanks to Paul Shishis.
Calgary— I was shooting storms in the area; but did not see the object until I viewed the photos later.
This is a common occurrence for me.
I am sending a couple of pictures more that are not related to this particular incident.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
India Light
Delhi — It’s not an airplane or comet (broken star). Its 100% like a UFO with its speed, appearance, size, brightness, etc.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Zealand Disc
Huntly — I was 19 years old at the time and my Dad was 55 years old and had not been drinking on May 18, 1988. I. had just picked up my Dad and was driving home. We drove up a hill and as we approached the top the motor just faded out. So I pulled over to the side of road. Then we saw this large round object a 100 feet just above the trees about 300 feet from us. Dad was freaking out. It was glowing and we could see the windows, we stayed put for about 20 minutes as the car wouldn’t start. When the object slowly moved off our vehicle then started.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Puerto Rico UFO
Aguadilla — On April 25, 2013, around 9:20 pm, a Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection Aircraft filmed this strange object using IR/thermal Equipment. It was flying around the town of Aguadilla, and the commercial Rafael Hernandez Airport, at up to 120 mph.
After dipping into the water and emerging, the shape-shifting UFO eventually divides into two objects and finally seems to disappear into the Atlantic Ocean, near the Puerto Rico Trench (the deepest point in the Atlantic, at 28,373 feet; that is nearly the height of Mt. Everest).
As Owner/Director of the Bermuda Triangle Research Base in Boqueron, I’m in the process of setting up history’s first free, live webcam of a UFO hotspot in Puerto Rico. Website
Russia Ovals
Kazakhstan— During the night from 8 to 9 July 2016, I filmed at least two dozen UFOs flying over the Tyumen region in the direction of Kazakhstan. A lot of the UFOs were poorly seen and initially were randomly distributed like the clouds. Then a cloud of dozens of oval UFOs were seen and then they were quickly out of sight behind the house. The light areas on the photo are the moving UFOs/
UFOs were filmed on a night vision device but was unable to change the settings in the picture. The camera photos turned out too grainy, even with a two second photo exposure. The UFOs were far fainter than stars in the sky.
The UFOs could clearly be seen through the Gen 1 night vision device, using a video camera through the eyepiece. They were moving from bottom left to upper right.

Sweden Dot
Malmö – My dogs and I were in the park taking pictures of them and the sun on July 2, 2016. I didn’t notice anything at the time. But I saw the strange dot in one picture, a couple of days later, I zoomed in and it looks like a sphere with lights. I then noticed the same dot, but in different color in several pictures (green, blue, and white) some with blue or greenish halo. I then realized the same spot appears in pictures of the sun taken in a different location, but then it looks like an orange-red orb with white dots surrounded by a green blue elliptic halo. Almost transparent yet there’s no doubt in my mind there is something strange. I wanted to send you the whole photo series, because it is not in all pictures, if you are as curious as me to know what it is. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Turkey Sphere
Istanbul– I went to Istanbul- to meet my friends. And we saw a UFO above the sea.
It was a fixed, bright orange light hovering in the sky with birds flying closer to the camera.. It had a green light output.
We were not surprised, we were expecting. an amateur team in this regard.-
They are invisible.Observation time was 15 minutes.

UK England Orb
New Marske – At 9.30 pm on June 21st 2016, I saw a moving cigar shaped object in the sky. The cigar shaped object looked like it was on fire but left no trail. It moved at the speed you would expect to see an aeroplane move when you look up to the sky. I thought it may be a comet or a shooting star or possibly some sort of reflection, but I have done some research on all of the above and none move in the way this did. Its speed was constant and it flew out over the North Sea.
I videoed it then checked my phone to see it had recorded and when I looked back up, it had gone. I do not know whether it disappeared or simply went out of sight. Whilst it was visible, I rang my neighbor and she also saw it.

Als er leven is op andere planeten, kan het zomaar heel ingewikkeld zijn
Als er leven is op andere planeten, kan het zomaar heel ingewikkeld zijn
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Als het heel gewoon is dat op andere planeten leven ontstaat, dan moet het universum gevuld zijn met complexe en intelligente levensvormen.
Tot die conclusie komen astrobioloog Dirk Schulze-Makuch en biochemicus William Bains nadat zij de evolutie van het leven op aarde bestudeerde. Hun bevindingen staan beschreven in het blad Life.
Van simpel naar ingewikkeld Heel lang geleden ontstond er leven op aarde. De eerste levensvormen waren heel eenvoudige eencelligen. Inmiddels zijn we miljarden jaren verder en zijn op aarde complexe, meercellige en intelligente levensvormen te vinden, waaronder de mens. Is het ontstaan van deze complexe levensvormen uniek? Of kan dat ook heel gemakkelijk op een ander hemellichaam gebeuren zodra er op dat hemellichaam leven is ontstaan? Om een antwoord te vinden op die vraag, identificeerden Schulze-Makuch en Bains de vier evolutionaire innovaties die het ontstaan van complexere levensvormen mogelijk maakten.
De vier innovaties Over welke vier innovaties hebben we het dan? De overgang van eencellige levensvormen naar meercellige levensvormen, het ontstaan van fotosynthese, de evolutie van macroscopisch leven en de opkomst van intelligente levensvormen. Vervolgens gingen de onderzoekers na of deze belangrijke veranderingen slecht één keer optraden of meerdere keren in verschillende organismen opdoken. Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat de meeste innovaties meerdere keren werden ‘uitgevonden’. Neem bijvoorbeeld fotosynthese. Dit proces ontstond op vier verschillende punten in de historie van het leven op aarde. En ook meercelligheid ontstond meerdere malen en wel in verschillende klassen organismen.
“WE ZIJN ERVAN OVERTUIGD DAT WE IN ELKE WERELD WAAR LEVEN IS ONTSTAAN EN ER VOLDOENDE ENERGIE VOORHANDEN IS, COMPLEX, ZOOGDIERACHTIG LEVEN KUNNEN AANTREFFEN”
Intelligent leven Op basis van deze bevindingen concluderen de onderzoekers dat het optreden van dergelijke innovaties – die dus leiden tot het ontstaan van intelligent of complex leven – niet heel onaannemelijk is. Sterker nog: het lijkt erop dat deze innovaties overal kunnen optreden, zolang de omstandigheden goed zijn en er voldoende tijd is. “Daarom zijn we ervan overtuigd dat we in elke wereld waar leven is ontstaan en er voldoende energie voorhanden is, complex, zoogdierachtig leven kunnen aantreffen,” stelt Schulze-Makuch.
Het onderzoek spreekt zich alleen uit over hoe waarschijnlijk het is dat leven op een andere planeet uitgroeit tot complexe levensvormen. En dus niet over hoe waarschijnlijk het is dat leven op een andere planeet ontstaat. Maar toch kan het onderzoek grote implicaties hebben voor onze zoektocht naar buitenaards leven, denkt Schulze-Makuch. Zo zouden we op basis van dit onderzoek op een leefbare planeet niet alleen eencelligen moeten verwachten, maar ook sporen van grote en complexe meercellige organismen. “Ons onderzoek is met name relevant voor de selectie van gereedschappen die onderzoekers gebruiken om te zoeken naar leven op planeten in andere zonnestelsels,” vertelt Schulze-Makuch. “Tijdens toekomstige missies moeten onderzoekers van NASA en SETI en andere organisaties overwegen om gereedschappen te gebruiken die in staat zijn om sporen van een wereldwijde en diverse biosfeer op andere werelden te vinden.”
Broertje voor Pluto: nieuwe dwergplaneet ontdekt in de Kuipergordel!
Broertje voor Pluto: nieuwe dwergplaneet ontdekt in de Kuipergordel!
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De dwergplaneet draait in een ovaalvormige baan – en op veel grotere afstand dan Pluto – rond de zon en is naar schatting ongeveer 700 kilometer groot.
De dwergplaneet heeft de naam 2015 RR245 gekregen en werd ontdekt met behulp van een telescoop op Hawaii. De eerste beelden van de dwergplaneet werden in september 2015 gemaakt en in februari 2016 geanalyseerd, waarop ontdekking volgde. “Daar was het dan: een stipje licht dat zo langzaam bewoog dat het zeker twee keer verder van de zon verwijderd moest zijn dan Neptunus,” vertelt onderzoeker Michele Bannister.
De baan 2015 RR245 heeft een zeer omvangrijke, elliptische baan. Na honderden jaren op rij op een afstand groter dan 12 miljard kilometer van de zon te hebben vertoefd, beweegt deze zich nu richting de zon. Maar zelfs op het moment (ergens in 2096) dat de afstand tussen de zon en 2015 RR245 het kleinst is, is er tussen de zon en de dwergplaneet nog zo’n vijf miljard kilometer te vinden.
Hier zie je (in oranje) de vermoedelijke baan van RR245. Objecten die net zo helder of helderder zijn dan RR245 zijn voorzien van een naamlabel. RR245 behoort tot de twintig grootste objecten in de Kuipergordel.
Afbeelding: Alex Parker / OSSOS-team.
Klein en helder? Hoe groot de dwergplaneet exact is, is onbekend. Om meer te weten te komen over de exacte afmetingen moeten eerst oppervlaktekenmerken worden opgemeten. “Het (de dwergplaneet, red.) is of klein en helder of groot en somber,” stelt Bannister.
Een zeldzaam restant De meeste dwergplaneten zoals RR245 werden toen de gasreuzen naar hun huidige positie reisden vernietigd of uit het zonnestelsel gegooid. RR245 is één van de weinige dwergplaneten die dat avontuur overleefd heeft, samen met Pluto en Eris, de grootste dwergplaneten die ons tot op heden bekend zijn. Pluto werd onlangs in detail bestudeerd door ruimtesonde New Horizons. Dankzij die missie weten we nu dat werelden die zich – net als RR245 – op grote afstand van de zon bevinden heel exotisch zijn. Zo bestaat het landschap van Pluto uit verschillende bevroren materialen.
DE LAATSTE
De kans is groot dat RR245 voorlopig de laatste voorbij Neptunus gelegen grote wereld is die we ontdekken. Simpelweg omdat onze telescopen meer niet kunnen zien. Pas halverwege het volgende decennium, als grotere telescopen het licht zien, kunnen we meer van dit soort ontdekkingen verwachten.
Nog veel vragen Wetenschappers hebben RR245 ongeveer een jaar bestudeerd. Dat is niets in vergelijking met de 700 jaar die deze nodig heeft om een rondje rond de zon te voltooien. En dus blijven onderzoekers de dwergplaneet de komende tijd nog bestuderen. Want er zijn nog veel vragen onbeantwoord gebleven. Waar is RR245 ontstaan? Hoe zal de baan van de dwergplaneet zich in de toekomst ontwikkelen? En hoe ziet de baan van de dwergplaneet er exact uit? Zodra de exacte baan bekend is, zal de dwergplaneet ook officieel een naam krijgen.
De onderzoekers zijn vanzelfsprekend in hun nopjes met de ontdekking. “De ijzige werelden voorbij Neptunus helpen ons om een beter beeld te krijgen van de geschiedenis van ons zonnestelsel,” stelt Bannister. “Maar bijna al deze ijzige werelden zijn heel klein en weinig helder: het is heel opwindend om er één te vinden die groot en helder genoeg is om in detail te bestuderen.”
class=”size-full wp-image-129080″ /> Een robot aan het werk in de ruimte. Afbeelding: doi:10.1117/1.JATIS.2.4.041207.[/caption]Een robot die in de ruimte aan telescopen klust: het is niet zo’n gek idee. Astronomen kunnen nu al heel ver het heelal in turen, maar hebben de wens nog verder te kijken. En dat vraagt om nog grotere ruimtetelescopen. Maar om de lancering van ruimtetelescopen (kosten)technisch mogelijk te maken, moet een telescoop niet te veel ruimte innemen en niet te zwaar zijn. Door een telescoop als klein bouwpakketje te lanceren en deze vervolgens in de ruimte te monteren, omzeilen we die uitdaging en kunnen we toch een omvangrijke ruimtetelescoop in gebruik nemen.
Een bijkomend voordeel van zo’n klusrobot in de ruimte is dat deze ook direct het onderhoud van de telescoop op zich kan nemen. Nu is het nog zo dat ruimtetelescopen maar een beperkt aantal jaren meegaan. Maar als we in staat zijn om ze tussentijds wat aan te passen of op te knappen – zoals bijvoorbeeld met de Hubble-telescoop is gebeurd – kunnen we hun levensduur verlengen. “Een robotisch systeem verantwoordelijk voor het samenstellen, upgraden, repareren en opnieuw bevoorraden biedt de mogelijkheid om allerlei soorten ruimtetelescopen heel lang nuttig te laten zijn,” zo stellen de onderzoekers. Die hopen dat hun studie ontwerpers van ruimtetelescopen in de toekomst aan het denken zet over deze interessante optie.

Ken je die houten Russische poppetjes die je tot in het oneindige uit elkaar kunt halen? Ook in het heelal bevinden er zich zulke bijzondere verschijningen, zoals deze drie supernovarestanten in het sterrenstelsel M33.
De artistieke impressie bovenaan dit artikel toont hoe drie supernovarestanten samen zijn gesmolten en daardoor ogenschijnlijk één structuur vormen. De onderzoekers noemen dit soort objecten zogenoemde ‘superbellen’. De astronomen gebruikten een 2D-spectrograaf in combinatie met de William Herschel-telescoop om diverse superbellen te vinden. De kleinste exemplaren waren niet groter dan enkele lichtjaren, terwijl er ook superbellen met een doorsnee van duizend lichtjaar voorkomen.
Superbellen ontstaan rondom jonge sterrenclusters, waar meerdere individuele sterren zijn geëxplodeerd. De restanten van deze sterren smelten samen in een superbel. Toch is dit de eerste keer dat astronomen een superbel zien, die bestaat uit drie concentrische ringen.
“Iedere ring is even zwaar als honderden zonnen bij elkaar”, zegt co-auteur John Beckman. Nadat de eerste ster explodeerde, werd een deel van het gas opgezweept. Ook werd er gas achtergelaten om de tweede en derde ringen te vormen. De superbellen vormen een bewijs dat de interstellaire ruimte – de ruimte tussen sterren – niet leeg is en dat bellen belangrijk zijn voor de evolutie van sterren. Zonder dit soort bijzondere objecten zouden spiraalstelsels namelijk snel uitdoven.
Sneeuwgrens van water in protoplanetaire schijf voor het eerst direct waargenomen
Sneeuwgrens van water in protoplanetaire schijf voor het eerst direct waargenomen
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Dankzij een toename van de helderheid van de ster V883 Orionis konden astronomen de sneeuwgrens rond de ster direct waarnemen. Een primeur.
Rond jonge sterren vinden we vaak een dichte schijf die bestaat uit gas en stof. Uit die schijf – ook wel protoplanetaire schrijf genoemd – kunnen gaandeweg planeten ontstaan. Door de warmte van de ster in het midden, blijft het water binnen deze schijf tot op een afstand van ongeveer 450 miljoen kilometer gasvormig. Verder naar buiten gaan de watermoleculen – door de extreem lage druk – rechtstreeks over van gasvormige naar vaste toestand en krijgen stofdeeltjes een manteltje van ijs. Het gebied in de schijf waar water van een gas in ijs verandert, noemen onderzoekers de sneeuwgrens van water. En nu hebben onderzoekers die sneeuwgrens van water voor het eerst direct waargenomen.
Hoe kan een ster plotseling veel helderder worden? In het geval van V883 Orionis nam de helderheid toe doordat materiaal uit de omringende schijf op het oppervlak van de ster belandde.
6 miljard kilometer Dat gebeurde rond de jonge ster V883 Orionis. De helderheid van deze ster nam plots sterk toe (zie kader). En daardoor schoof de sneeuwgrens op naar een afstand van zo’n 6 miljard kilometer. En die verre ligging maakte het mogelijk om de sneeuwgrens direct waar te nemen met behulp van ALMA (het Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array).
Hier zie je hoe de sneeuwgrens wanneer de ster in helderheid toeneemt, opschuift. Afbeelding: ALMA (ESO / NAOJ / NRAO) / L. Cieza.
Planeetvorming Het ontstaan van sneeuw in de ruimte is van invloed op het planeetvormingsproces. Zo nemen astronomen aan dat binnen de sneeuwgrens – dus waar water verdampt – kleine rotsachtige planeten ontstaan (à la de aarde). Voorbij de sneeuwgrens zou de aanwezigheid van waterijs ervoor zorgen dat er kosmische sneeuwballen ontstaan die weer uitgroeien tot zware gasplaneten (à la Jupiter).
Hier zie je de protoplanetaire schijf van V883 Orionis. Ook de sneeuwgrens (de witte cirkel) is aangegeven. Om een beeld te geven van de omvang van deze schijf zijn de omloopbanen van Neptunus en Pluto ingetekend.

En nu is dus ontdekt dat een plotselinge toename in de helderheid van een ster de sneeuwgrens heel ver kan laten opschuiven. Aangenomen wordt dat de meeste planetenstelsels in hun ontwikkeling wel met zo’n stellaire uitbarsting te maken krijgen. En daarmee kunnen deze nieuwe waarnemingen wel eens leiden tot een beter begrip van de vorming en ontwikkeling van planeten.
Researchers at the Suzumori Endo Robotics Laboratory at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have a different take on robotics in the form of a musculoskeletal robot that moves like a human.
Essentially, a fake skeleton covered in a bunch of cables, the musculoskeletal robot is powered by artificial multifilament muscles that function like real human muscles when electrical current flows through them.
Basically, the fake muscles can contract and expand similar to a real human’s movements thanks to the electrical current, even enabling the skeleton’s head to move around realistically.
At the moment, the Suzumori Endo humanoid can’t support itself, but the robot’s legs do contain the exact same number of muscles that a real human being’s legs use to walk.
The researchers hope that as technology advances and the musculoskeletal robot progresses, it will eventually be able to walk on its own and self-balance, similar to the ATLAS robot.

VIDEO: Complottheoreticus David Icke kruist degens met presentatoren over aliens en holle maan
VIDEO: Complottheoreticus David Icke kruist degens met presentatoren over aliens en holle maan
De bekende samenzweringstheoreticus David Icke kruiste vanochtend tijdens het Australische ontbijtprogramma Today de degens met presentatoren Karl Stefanovic en Lisa Wilkinson.
De Britse oud-sportverslaggever, die momenteel in Australië is voor zijn World Wide Wake Up Tour, claimt dat 9/11 een inside job was en dat aliens in het geheim onder ons leven in menselijke vorm.
Icke zei tijdens het programma dat er een kracht is die de menselijke beschaving manipuleert en die overal op aarde een andere naam heeft. “Als je hier onderzoek naar doet, en dat doe ik al 26 jaar, kom je tot de ontdekking dat al deze namen verwijzen naar dezelfde kracht,” zei hij.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Conspiracies (Web Exclusive)
Wilkinson vroeg hem vervolgens over zijn kijk op de maan. “U denkt bijvoorbeeld dat de maan, onze maan, een uitgehold ruimtestation is?” vroeg ze. Icke antwoordde: “Sovjetwetenschappers opperden dit als eerste. Ze kwamen tot de conclusie dat de maan geen natuurlijke satelliet kan zijn en hol is.”
“De reguliere wetenschap kan niet verklaren waarom zo’n groot hemellichaam, groter dan Pluto, om zo’n kleine planeet kan draaien,” vervolgde hij. “Er zijn veel oude stammen die zeggen dat de maan hier gebracht is en dat er een tijd was waarin de aarde geen maan had.”
Stefanovic vond dat Icke zich ‘erg defensief’ opstelde. “Nee, ik erger me,” aldus Icke. “Ik erger me aan het feit dat de mainstream media en de meeste mensen door de verkeerde kant van een telescoop naar de wereld kijken.”
Let vooral op het buitengewoon intelligente (lees: tenenkrommende) gedrag van Stefanovic, dat tekenend is voor de manier waarop de mainstream media andersdenkenden benaderen.

In 2013 deed de Canadese oud-minister van Defensie Paul Hellyer een schokkende uitspraak: dat een federatie van buitenaardse rassen de mensheid in de gaten houdt en stuurt. Dat meldt televisiezender History.
Volgens sommigen is er genoeg bewijs te vinden voor deze bewering. Vrijwel iedere cultuur kent wel verhalen over keizers, koningen en farao’s die een groep van negen goden raadpleegden. Zelfs CIA-wetenschappers channelden in de jaren vijftig een buitenaardse groep die ‘De Negen’ werd genoemd. Deze groep zou hier zijn om gebeurtenissen op aarde te beïnvloeden, aldus de zender.
In 1952 zette de Amerikaanse medicus Andrija Puharich een speciaal laboratorium op dat deel uitmaakte van een topgeheim overheidsprogramma. In het lab werden experimenten gedaan met psychologische manipulatie en hallucinogene drugs. Eén van zijn proefpersonen was Uri Geller.
Niet-fysieke wezens
Eén van de meest controversiële aspecten van zijn onderzoek had betrekking op channeling, het contact leggen met niet-fysieke wezens. In december 1952 werd contact gelegd met een groep entiteiten die ‘De Negen’ werd genoemd.
“De Negen zeiden dat ze een eindeloze aanwezigheid waren,” legt Nick Pope uit, die ruim 20 jaar werkzaam is geweest voor het Britse ministerie van Defensie. “Ze hielden de mensheid naar eigen zeggen al vanaf het begin in de gaten.”
Star Trek
In zijn privéwoning besprak dr. Puharich zijn onderzoek met mensen uit de toplagen van de samenleving. Iemand die actief deelnam aan die sessies was Gene Roddenberry, de bedenker van de bekende tv-serie Star Trek. De serie zou zijn geïnspireerd op de mysterieuze groep ‘De Negen’.
De Prime Directive, een richtlijn uit de populaire serie die actieve bemoeienis met minder ontwikkelde soorten verbiedt, zou bijvoorbeeld zijn voortgekomen uit de sessies van dr. Puharich.
“Als we in de gaten worden gehouden door aliens, is het erg aannemelijk dat ze niet openlijk in de voortuin van het Witte Huis landen vanwege zo’n Prime Directive,” aldus Pope.
Doorgewinterde Argentijnse ufoloog ontdekt ‘buitenaardse piramide’ in Grote Oceaan
Doorgewinterde Argentijnse ufoloog ontdekt ‘buitenaardse piramide’ in Grote Oceaan
De Argentijnse ufoloog Marcelo Irazusta zorgt voor consternatie. Op de bodem van de Grote Oceaan heeft hij iets vreemds ontdekt. Mogelijke verklaringen variëren van een gecrashte UFO tot de resten van een oude beschaving. Dat schrijft het Russische staatspersbureau Sputnik.
De Argentijnse onderzoeker, die zich specialiseert in buitenaardse levensvormen, heeft naar eigen zeggen op Google Earth een UFO gevonden voor de kust van Mexico. Het object is 5,5 kilometer lang en lijkt qua vorm nog het meest op een vliegtuig.
Andere ufologen zijn er niet zo zeker van dat hij op een UFO is gestuit. Scott Waring, die verschillende boeken over het onderwerp heeft geschreven, vertelde aan het Argentijnse persbureau Telam dat hij er een piramide in ziet.
Atlantis
“Het is een perfect gevormde piramide, die een doorsnee heeft van meer dan 14 kilometer,” zei hij. Volgens hem gaat het om de grootst bekende piramide. Het bouwsel is zo indrukwekkend dat het moet zijn gemaakt door leven van een andere planeet, aldus Waring. “Enkel aliens zijn in staat om zoiets te bouwen.”
De beelden van de piramide zijn inmiddels bijna een half miljoen keer bekeken. Telam meldt dat het volgens sommigen gaat om de resten van het mythische eiland Atlantis, dat werd beschreven door de Griekse filosoof Plato. Anderen zeggen dat het bouwwerk is achtergelaten door de Maya’s of Azteken.
NASA
Marcelo Irazusta is een doorgewinterde ufoloog. Eerder dit jaar publiceerde hij een video waarin buitenaardse bases op de maan en op Mars te zien zouden zijn, schrijft Sputnik. Samen met ufoloog Sandra Elena Andrade heeft hij er bij de NASA op aangedrongen om daar onderzoek te doen naar de mogelijkheid van buitenaards leven.
“De schokkende ontdekking heeft op internet geleid tot fascinerende discussies,” schreef Andrade. “Wat gaat NASA doen? Komen ze met een plausibele verklaring of houden ze zich stil?”
V-shaped UFOs reported hovering over Memphis highway
V-shaped UFOs reported hovering over Memphis highway
A Tennessee witness at Memphis reported watching two V-shaped UFOs “hanging” in the sky over an interstate highway, according to testimony in Case 77441 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was southbound along I-55 in Memphis near the Delta Refinery, pictured, when the UFOs were spotted hovering above on June 22, 2016.

The witness was driving to Memphis Airport along southbound I-55 at 3:30 a.m. on June 22, 2016, near the Delta Refinery when the incident occurred.
“As we got closer, I slowed and rolled my window down and stuck my head out to get a better view,” the witness stated.“It was not moving nor making any sound. I could not believe what I was seeing.”
The object was double the size of a large jet.
“Seemed to be over twice the size of a 737 and just hanging there in the sky. Shaped like a V made of two rectangles, cut at the ends to make a point.”
The witness decided not to stop along I-55 to take pictures as it was not safe.
(Credit: Google)
The witness first thought to pull over and dig a camera out of luggage in the vehicle, but then thought it unwise to do that on an expressway.
“The traffic was light, but it was all tractor trailer rigs. I tried adjusting my left rear view mirror, but could not see it even when I looked back. Then, off to my right, some distance away, we saw the same light pattern hanging in the southern sky, too far away see any distinguishable features.”
The witness attempted to sum up the location and size of the object.
“To the best of my memory, I would guess the object was 1,000 to 1,500 feet up, gray in color with white lights along the lower outer edges except for one red light at the back. I would guess that legs of the V to be 30-feet to 50-feet square and 200-feet to 300-feet long with the span at the back of the V about 150-feet. There were two protrusions that I could make out clearly on the bottom of the closest leg. One was a cylindrical-shaped and the other was like an inverted fender well or a spare tire carrier. I am still befuddled about what it was. I swore to myself I will never travel again without a camera ready. To this day, I want to go back and look, camera ready.”
The objects were 200 to 300 feet long.

The witness was at home at 9:23 p.m. on July 4, 2016, when the object was first seen and identifying it quickly resolved into wondering if it was a UFO or a drone.
“We all saw the object high in the sky and we filmed the object using a 60x HD camcorder,” the witness stated. “My wife looked out the window and saw an object with bright light high in the sky. We thought the object could be a sophisticated, large drone, possibly military.”
But reviewing the video frame-by-frame the object appears to spin and then disappear.

“The object hovered stationary for several minutes. Using my HD video camera zoomed in at 60x I could see an A-frame shape for each structure; a red and green light in the middle, and three bright, white lights on top. It began spinning and then disappeared as shown frame-by-frame on the video.”
The object then returned a few minutes later in the same location, but facing a different direction.
“It hovered stationary again and then disappeared. The video zoom did not resolve well, but the object appeared to change color all at once to red before it disappeared. We were excited to see the object even if it turns out to be just a drone. My wife posted the video clip to her Facebook account and friends were shocked. Some said it was just a drone, but others did not. We lost sight of the object because it disappeared.”

A Connecticut witness at Bridgeport reported watching a slow-moving, white craft at low altitude moving over Black Rock Harbor about 11 p.m. on July 2, 2016, according to testimony in Case 77451 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was very familiar with Black Rock Harbor when the UFO moved low across the sky on July 2, 2016. (Credit: Google)
“The Fairfield fireworks had ended,” the witness stated.“The crowd was thinning out. The boats had all come back in. It was time for me to go fishing. I live on Long Island Sound. I fish every night from April to January. If it happens in the night sky I see it! Every moon. Every meteor shower. Every fireworks display.”
The witness was sitting in a spot facing the water.
“Two friends were standing up facing me with their backs to the water. I looked up to engage one friend in conversation. Over her left shoulder I saw a rather large, slow-moving, oval-shaped craft. It was illuminated white. It was blurred because it was flying in low cloud cover or possibly smoke hanging in the air from the fireworks.”
The oval-shaped craft was illuminated white.

The witness watched the object for about 10 seconds before it faded away into the cloud or smoke.
“It travelled slow and would have been following the shoreline heading south. As I’m watching this thing I’m going through the Rolodex in my brain sorting through memories and experiences and what I know already. Airplanes and helicopters have clear projected lights as well as red blinking lights. They also create sound. This was illuminated white and silent.”
The witness even considered someone shining a spotlight into the sky.
“But the light would reflect off the cloud or smoke. None of that either. I’ve been here 25 years and no plane or helicopter has ever flown this bearing, barring search and rescue. There was no search and rescue that night. I eliminated everything I thought it could be based on my experiences. What I am left with is actually a white, walnut-shaped, slow and low moving craft over the shoreline of Black Rock Harbor. Has anyone else reported this?”
The slow-moving craft moved over the shoreline.

Here Football great Aaron Rodgers talks about his believe in UFOs and aliens and how about his experiences that make him believe this way. Is a fantastic step forward when a celebrity comes forward to talk about their UFO story and share it with the world. It tells the public, hey, be like me...tell the truth, theres nothing to be afraid of anymore. Just awesome. Jump to the 9 min mark in the video. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: There’s a lot of great stuff from Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers during his appearance on HBO’s “Any Given Wednesday” with Bill Simmons, but the part where he says he saw a UFO and “heard” fighter jets following it is easily the most fascinating part of this 10-minute video. Rodgers first talked about UFO sightings in March, but it’s pretty safe to say a lot of people didn’t hear about it. Fast forward to the 9:00 mark to hear Rodgers tell his story. The first time Rodgers brought up UFO’s was on the “You Made it Weird” podcast with Pete Holmes. Here’s the link, the UFO talk starts at the 14:45 mark. “There was a weird siren in the distance,” Rodgers said. “So we go outside – it was a snowy night – and we went outside and it was one of those kind of bright nights, where it’s overcast, but there’s enough light from the moon to see things and the next thing you know, we saw something in the sky.” He compared what he saw to one of the huge ships from the movie “Independence Day.” “And it goes out of sight and we look at each other and go, ‘What in the (expletive) was that?'” Rodgers said. And thirty seconds after it had gone out of sight he and two others heard the “definitive sound” of a fighter jet, just like in “Top Gun,” Rodgers explained.

A man snapped of what many UFO enthusiasts considered as a spectacular photo above the World Trade Center Ground Zero buildings in New ork.
The witness chose not to be named in his report filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), one of the biggest organization that investigates UFO reports around the world.
In a MUFON report, the witness said he was with his wife in WTC Ground Zero. He captured several random photos of the building – three pictures in a minute.
The couple did not notice any anomaly in the photos throughout their holiday trip. When they viewed the photos after the holiday, they found a strange object flying above.
The reporting witness said that they didn’t see the UFO with their naked eyes when they were visiting the WTC. He believes that is not an ordinary aerial object in the sky. He thinks the United States government won’t permit any conventional vehicles to fly above there.
He suggests that it can be an undetected vehicle or a UFO. One photo of the witness shows colourful circles and the next one shows a UFO that appears to replace the rings. In photo number 3, no light and no UFO can be seen.
The witness wants professionals to analyse the images, the main reason he sent them along with his reportto MUFON.

Saturn Moon Enceladus' Plumes May Resemble Earth's 'Lost City'
Saturn Moon Enceladus' Plumes May Resemble Earth's 'Lost City'

Saturn's intriguing moon Enceladus could resemble Earth's "Lost City," a network of hydrothermal vents in the Atlantic Ocean where life survives despite cold and darkness.
Earth is the only planet in the solar system with liquid water on its surface, but many of the solar system's moons and dwarf planets seem to hide their oceans beneath their crust. Saturn's moon Enceladus, on the other hand, isn't content to keep things underground; large gashes at the moon' south pole spurt liquid from the interior into space. The access provided by these vents makes it a tempting spot for scientists hoping to search for signs of life outside of Earth.
"We want to use chemistry as our guide to looking for signs of life," said Christopher Glein, a research scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Texas. Glein discussed the history of human understanding of Enceladus last month at the 228th American Astronomical Society meeting in San Diego, California. There, he compared that moon's undersea environment to the Lost City hydrothermal field in the Atlantic Ocean, where hot water bursts from the ocean floor and life thrives in the otherwise desolate depths.

"Is there life beyond Earth?" Glein asked. "Our generation is now poised to begin to tackle and search for some answers."

"Candy to life"
When NASA's Voyager 2 mission flew by Enceladus in 1981, it revealed terrains far smoother than the rocky satellites seen before. The polished landscape suggested that something unusual was happening on Enceladus. But it wasn't until NASA's Cassini mission caught a glimpse of plumes spurting from the southern pole that scientists realized just how unusual the moon is. Today, scientists have identified 101 individual jets shooting out from the large "tiger stripe" fissures at the southern pole, which average 80 miles (130 kilometers) long (a significant stretch of the moon's surface).
At first, scientists thought the water feeding the tiger stripes came from a small sea beneath them. In 2015, Cassini's gravitational data revealed that the tiny moon instead housed a global ocean under its entire surface. The bright plumes carried tiny particles of water-ice mixed with water vapor from beneath the surface, Glein said. But the real mystery was what else the stripes might carry.
No one expected Enceladus to spurt samples into space, so Cassini didn't carry any instruments designed to sample the plumes. But the team found a way to use the instruments they did have to study some of the material, and so they guided the spacecraft to dive through the plumes and taste their chemistry.
"What we found was truly remarkable," Glein said.
Cassini discovered salts, which couldn't have come from a slowly melting ice source.
"A liquid ocean that rapidly flash freezes — that does the job," Glein said.
Cassini also revealed that the plumes had a pH of 11.12, making them more basic than acidic. In comparison, Earth's rainwater ranks at 5.6 and seawater around 8. Glein put the plumes' pH in the domain of cleaning agents like Windex.
"It's not quite to drain cleaner, but it's getting there," he said.
One way to raise the pH, and heat the plumes in the process, is the process of serpentinization, which occurs when liquid water reacts with magnesium- and iron-rich minerals. The changed rocks, often green, are loaded with bases, and can lead to a rise in pH, Glein said. Although such rocks are rare on the surface, they can be found tucked away in the mantle or in collections of rocks and minerals on the seafloor.
One of the most famous sites of serpentinization is Earth's Lost City, a collection of hydrothermal vents near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. First identified in 2000, the vents are heated primarily by the changing rocks rather than by mantle beneath the surface. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, serpentinization can raise temperatures as high as 260 degrees Celsius (550 degrees Fahrenheit), and drives the hydrothermal system of the Lost City.
In addition to providing heat, the Lost City's vents spout methane- and hydrogen-rich fluids to the surface, and are thriving environments for life.
"Hydrogen is like candy to microorganisms," Glein said. And the vents are "just packed with minerals," he added —the combination of chemical, biological and geological processes makes spots like the Lost City vents prime sites for life to have evolved. If Enceladus boasts similar vents powered by a process like serpentinization, life could originate there, as well, Glein said.
The best evidence for vents on the tiny moon comes from farther away, in Saturn's E ring, which is where material ejected from Enceladus can end up. Material from the plumes easily escapes the moon's gravity, which is only 1 percent of Earth's, and falls around the ringed planet. Samples of the ring material revealed silicate particles that scientists traced back to the moon. According to Glein, vents in a subsurface ocean could produce similar silicates.
That doesn't quite cinch the case, though. "We have evidence of hydrothermal vents, but we haven't found the hydrogen yet," Glein said.
The dramatic fractures on the surface of Enceladus known as tiger stripes provide direct access to the ocean beneath.

"One of the great mysteries"
Before Cassini arrived at Saturn, scientists thought Enceladus was too small to maintain water in a liquid state, so the plumes came as a surprise. Exactly how the moon keeps its water liquid remains uncertain.
"There's a serious energy crisis on Enceladus," Glein said, referring to the energy required to keep that water liquid. "It's one of the great mysteries of planetary science moving forward."
Since Cassini first identified the geysers on the small moon, scientists have tried to identify how water remains liquid instead of freezing to ice. One possibility is that the interior of the moon is heated as Saturn tugs and releases it. Another option is that the ocean contains some form of antifreeze, rather than pure water. Chemical reactions between the ocean and the rock, like the serpentinization described above, could also produce the necessary heat.
Enceladus is a tiny moon. With an average radius of 156 miles (252 km), it's only about one-seventh the size of Earth's largest satellite. According to Glein, that makes the moon the smallest geologically active body in the solar system, and the only one to boast water-based cryovolcanism, where icy liquid instead of hot lava oozes from the crust. Coming from such a small world, the eruptions are enormous.
"We don't have volcanic eruptions on Earth that span over an entire Earth diameter," Glein said.
Saturn's satellite is far less dense than the moon or Earth, with roughly half its material consisting of water. Enceledus' icy exterior makes it incredibly reflective.
"If it was our moon, it would be blindingly bright in the sky," Glein said.
The southern hemisphere may not be the only place to ever house plumes, Glein said Geological mapping of the moon's northern latitudes suggests relics of gashes similar to the tiger stripes in the south, he said. As the liquid water freezes, it could close off one set of stripes and open others.
Referring to a famous geyser at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, he said, "I think Old Faithful has finally met its match in Cold Faithful."
A team of physicists from the UK and Canada have created a computer simulation that points to the Big Bounce theory rather than the Big Bang. They state that the universe we know today is the sequel to a previous one that collapsed. They state that despite this periodical collapse, the universe does not completely get destroyed because the effects of quantum mechanics preserves it, allowing it to spring back to what it is today.
ETERNAL BOUNCE
A team of physicists from the UK and Canada have provided a simulation that supports the theory that our universe did not start out the way the Big Bang model proposes, but rather expanded to its current state after a period of contraction—a cycle dictated by the Big Bounce Theory.
The Big Bounce theory states that the universe follows a cycle of contraction and expansion, repeated infinitely. According to this theory, the universe did not begin with a violent explosion, but rather formed as a previous universe expanded or “bounced” back collapsing during the contraction phase of this endless cycle.
One of the main issues that had prevented the Big Bounce theory from securing its validity is that there was no proposed explanation as to how the universe could expand back after its full collapse. The team’s simulation suggests that once the universe reaches its smallest point, the common laws of physics governing our daily environment are abandoned and the rules of quantum mechanics come into play. The effects of quantum mechanics would preserve of the universe, keeping it from destruction and allowing the emergence of another universe like the one we’re in today.
“Quantum mechanics saves us when things break down,” explains team member Steffen Gielen, from Imperial College London. “It saves electrons from falling in and destroying atoms, so maybe it could also save the early Universe from such violent beginnings and endings as the Big Bang.”
NEXT UP: GALAXIES
Using quantum mechanics in a computer simulation, the team was able to formulate how the universe could spring back from deflation, even with only radiation and a little matter remaining in it.
“The big surprise in our work is that we could describe the earliest moments of the hot Big Bang quantum mechanically, under very reasonable and minimal assumptions about the matter present in the Universe,” said team member Neil Turk, from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada. “Under these assumptions, the Big Bang was a ‘bounce’, in which contraction reversed to expansion.”
What’s next for this simulation is to find out if the entities within the universe, such as galaxies, can come into existence under these circumstances. As technology evolves, the chances thatquantum computers could finally catch up with the enigmas of the universe are looking better and better.

In Cosmic First, Scientists Spy a Star's Snow Line
In Cosmic First, Scientists Spy a Star's Snow Line

For the first time, astronomers have caught a glimpse of the water snow line around a star — the point in the young star's orbiting disk of debris where snow and ice first appear.
Normally, that boundary huddles too close to the star for astronomers to see it, but this particular star had a sudden burst of brightness that superheated its disk, obliterating ice further out than usual.

Bright burst
A newborn star is surrounded by an orbiting pancake of gas, dust and debris— the raw materials from which its complement of alien planets will eventually form. Most stars are hot enough to evaporate the water in that disk up to about 280 million miles (450 million kilometers) from the center, which is three times the distance from Earth to the sun, allowing ice to coat the debris beyond. (The water skips its liquid phase because of the extremely low pressure in space.)
The star V883 Orionis, found 1,350 light-years from Earth in the constellation Orion, burns quite a bit hotter than usual — it is in the midst of a burst of brightness and heat from a sudden influx of new material. That let the star vaporize ice all the way out to 3.7 billion miles (6 billion km), or the average distance at which Pluto orbits the sun, catching researchers by surprise. The far-out boundary let them see the water snow line in radio wavelengths withthe Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a collection of radio telescopes in Chile that makes up the world's biggest ground-based observatory.
"The ALMA observations came as a surprise to us," Lucas Cieza, an astronomer at Diego Portales University in Chile and the lead author of the new work, said in a statement. "Our observations were designed to image disk fragmentation, which is one of the proposed mechanisms for the formation of giant planets." The researchers didn't see any fragmentation; instead they saw an unexpected ring in the disk.

Planet builders
In a News & Views column tied to the new work, which was published in the journal Nature today (July 13), Brenda Matthews, an astronomer at the National Research Council of Canada who was not involved in the study, wrote that the water snow line is important in determining which planets form — rocky planets form within it, and gaseous planets form out past it.
"The fact that the location of the snow line can evolve with time has strong implications for planet formation," Matthews wrote. The rapid loss and gain of ice tied to changes in the star "would confound models that predict the slow formation of rocky planets within the snow line, and rapid gas-giant formation outside it."
When the star V883 Orionis suddenly heated up due to an influx of new material, the water snow line moved much farther out, meaning researchers could detect it with ALMA.

And simply seeing a snow line at all, which had been postulated but not spotted before, helps confirm that other stars have a similar swath of ice and snow to the one in the sun's early environment that led to our solar system's current collection of planets.
"The distribution of water ice around a young star is fundamental to planet formation and even the development of life on Earth," Zhaohuan Zhu, an astronomer at Princeton University and a co-author on the new work, said in the statement. "ALMA's observation sheds important light on how and where this happens in protoplanetary disks when young planets are still forming."
"We now have direct evidence that a frosty region conducive to planet formation exists around other stars," Zhu added.
Editor's Note: This article was updated to reflect the distance of the water snow line for most newborn stars, about 280 million miles (450 million kilometers).
New Type of Black Hole Spotted in the Early Universe
New Type of Black Hole Spotted in the Early Universe

Early clouds of gas and dust may have collapsed to form a huge single star that quickly became the seed for a supermassive black hole. In this image based on a supercomputer simulation, gas flows along filaments of dark matter. The first galaxies formed at the intersection of such filaments.

A bright galaxy in the early universe likely contains a mysterious kind of black hole that had previously existed only in theory, a new study suggests.
This probable "direct-collapse" black hole may help explain howsupermassive black holes — the light-gobbling behemoths that lurk at the hearts of most, if not all, galaxies — got their start, researchers said.
"The special aspect of this [direct-collapse] process is that it leads to the formation of a very massive 'seed' black hole in one go," study co-author Avi Loeb, chair of the astronomy department at Harvard University, told Space.com via email. "It is difficult to make such a giant black hole over such a short time if they start from low-mass seeds." [Images: Black Holes of the Universe]
Death by gluttony
When a massive star reaches the end of its lifetime, it can collapse inward on itself to form a black hole. These dense objects then grow by feeding on surrounding gas and dust, but the process can take time.
Indeed, it probably takes quite a while for such a small seed to grow into a supermassive black hole, which can contain billions of times more mass than the sun, scientists say. This poses a puzzle: Where, then, did the supermassive black holes in the early universe come from?
Some of these monsters existed only 750 million years after the Big Bang that created the universe, Loeb said. (Scientists know this because they have spotted quasars — incredibly bright galactic cores powered by supermassive black holes — of this vintage.)
"It is difficult to make such a giant black hole over such a short time if they start from low-mass seeds," Loeb said.
In 2003, Loeb and Volker Bromm of the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) — also a co-author of the new study — theorized that clouds of dust and gas in the early universe were so hot that they failed to fragment into multiple clumps of thousands of stars. Instead, such clouds likely created just a single massive star at the center, roughly 1 million times larger than "normal" stars, Loeb said.
Such gigantic stars would quickly consume all of the nearby gas and dust. Overeating would lead to a rapid demise; these stars would last only a few million years before collapsing into midsized black holes that could continue to feed, ultimately growing into the giants that lie at the centers of galaxies.
To stay so superhot, the gas at the heart of this process would need to be almost purely hydrogen and helium, without "heavier" elements to help cool it down. Since heavy elements are produced in the hearts of stars and then released during a supernova, such "direct-collapse black holes" could only form in the early universe, the researchers said. [The Universe: Big Bang to Now in 10 Easy Steps]
But there hadn't been much evidence for this idea — until now.
From prediction to reality
Last year, astronomers spotted a strange signal from a galaxy known as CR7, one of the most luminous objects in the early universe. Although the galaxy showed signs of temperatures greater than 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit (100,000 degrees Celsius) and signatures of helium atoms gaining and losing electrons — a process known as ionization — there were no signs of other elements.
"That makes the galaxy that we have discovered really unique, and ticks all the boxes for predictions for both first-generation stars or a direct-collapse black hole," David Sobral, an astrophysicist at the University of Lisbon in Portugal, told Space.com.
Sobral led the team of astronomers that identified irregularities in CR7 last year and other similar galaxiesmore recently. In their paper, they argued that, while CR7 could contain a direct-collapse black hole, the unusual signal favored a cluster of the universe's first stars.
"Regardless, the actual material — pristine gas — to make either first-generation stars or a direct-collapse black hole is essentially the same, and it is extremely exciting to finally start asking actual physical questions about the nature of the very early galaxies," Sobral said. "This goes way beyond the traditional approach of simply counting distant galaxies."
Sobral and other scientists will continue to observe CR7, with instruments such as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile. But other research teams are investigating the galaxy's origin and evolution via computer modeling and other work.
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.
Fabio Pacucci, a Ph.D. student at Scuola Normale Superiore in Italy, was part of one such team, whose research argued for the black-hole theory in a paper last year. But those researchers' observations of CR7 weren't definitive.
"Unfortunately, we do not see any X-ray emission from this source, which would be a smoking gun to say that it is a black hole," Pacucci said.
That's where Loeb and Volker come in. They're members of another research team, led by Aaron Smith of UT Austin, that sought to solve the mystery.
Smith and his colleagues developed what Smith called "a novel code" to simulate both the black-hole and the first-star scenarios using a supercomputer at UT Austin. The star scenario "spectacularly failed," Smithsaid in a statement, while the direct-collapse model held up.
"The evidence [for a black hole] is conclusive," Loeb told Space.com.
After predicting the existence of direct-collapse black holes more than a decade ago, Loeb is excited to see them confirmed by observations.
"It feels good to come up with an idea about how nature might work, but it is exhilarating to find out that nature really behaves the way you thought it does," Loeb said. "The experience is as rewarding as getting love back from a person you love."
Smith and his colleagues published their results last week in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The Universe's First Galaxies May Light Up Its Dark Ages
The Universe's First Galaxies May Light Up Its Dark Ages

A collection of newfound galaxies is illuminating how the early universe broke free from its Dark Ages. The family of galaxies may have played a role in the shift from a time when some light could not penetrate to an era of a transparent universe.
"Stars and black holes in the earliest, brightest galaxies must have pumped out so much ultraviolet light that they quickly broke up hydrogen atoms in the surrounding universe," David Sobral, an astrophysicist at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom, said in a statement. Sobral led an international team of scientists aiming to find several of these early galaxies using the Subaru and Keck telescopes in Hawaii and the Very Large Telescope in Chile. The results were presented today (Monday, June 27) at the National Astronomy Meeting in Nottingham, England.
"The fainter galaxies seem to have stayed shrouded for a lot longer," he said. "Even when they eventually become visible, they show evidence of plenty of opaque material still in place around them." [The Universe: Big Bang to Now in 10 Easy Steps]
In 2015, Sobral led a team that found the first two members of the collection, galaxies CR7 and MASOSA, which might contain the first generation of stars. Together with a third galaxy known as Himiko, discovered by a Japanese team, the presence of the trio of galaxies hinted that a large population of similar objects might exist.
The problem, however, is in spotting them. About 150 million years after the Big Bang kicked off the universe's existence (an event that took place 13.8 billion years ago), the universe was dense with neutral hydrogen that blocked the passage of certain wavelengths of light. As radiation from the earliest stars split apart hydrogen in what scientists call the "epoch of reionization," light began to slowly pass through the surroundings, bringing the Dark Ages to an end.
Each of the five newfound galaxies discussed in the presentation contains a large bubble of ionized (charged) gas around them, suggesting that they haven't managed to completely break free from the Dark Ages.
This timeline summarizes the evolution of the universe, with the Big Bang at left and about 2 billion years into the universe's existence at right. As reionization occurred, radiation emitted by the first stars and black holes cleared out the haze of neutral hydrogen.

"Our results highlight how hard it is to study the small, faint sources in the early universe," said co-author Sergio Santos, a graduate student at Lancaster University.
"The neutral hydrogen gas blocks out some of their light, and because they are not capable of building their own local bubbles as quickly as the bright galaxies, they are much harder to detect," he said.
The fifth of the faraway sources discovered, VR7, is named in tribute to astrophysicist Vera Rubin, who won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1996, becoming the first woman to win that award in over 150 years.
The young galaxies may be just a handful among the hundreds of thousands of ancient galaxies that might be spotted by future instruments.
"What is really surprising is that the galaxies we find are much more numerous than people assumed, and they have a puzzling diversity," Sobral said. "When telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope are up and running, we will be able to take a closer look at these intriguing objects."
"We have only scratched the surface, and so the next few years will certainly bring fantastic new discoveries," he said.
Wereldbedreigende rampen: hoe eindigt het leven op aarde?
Wereldbedreigende rampen: hoe eindigt het leven op aarde?
Tim Kraaijvanger
Het is een feit dat het leven op aarde ooit eindigt. Alle soorten die vandaag de dag over onze planeet zwerven, bestaan vanaf dat moment niet meer. De grote vraag is: hoe eindigt leven? En vindt er op korte termijn een massa-extinctie plaats of hebben we nog even de tijd om een andere planeet te vinden?
In het boek ‘Wereldbedreigende rampen‘ somt auteur Bill McGuire verschillende scenario’s op. Hij is hoogleraar geofysische en klimaatdreigingen aan de University College in Londen en heeft dus veel ervaring op het gebied van wereldbedreigende rampen. Tijdens de rampen met de IJslandse vulkaan Eyjafjallajökull en de Indische tsunami adviseerde hij de Britse regering.
Jaarlijks sterven er gemiddeld 106.000 mensen door rampen. Het is niet makkelijk om in één klap ruim zeven miljard mensen uit te roeien. “Veel doemscenario’s van nog veel grotere onheilsprofeten dan ik gaan in werkelijkheid niet over totale ondergang”, schrijft McGuire. “In het ergste geval zou de mensheid flink worden gedecimeerd.” Maar ooit gaat het mis met onze planeet. “We moeten erop rekenen dat we ‘vroeg ten onder gaan’ (zoals John Leslie in zijn boek ‘The End of the World‘ formuleert) in plaats van ‘laat’. De klimaatverandering gaat steeds sneller, de bevolking groeit explosief en is alom verwikkeld in buitensporige conflicten. Al met al zou het grootse avontuur van het menselijk ras wel eens snel ten einde kunnen zijn, in plaats van voort te duren tot ver in de toekomst en de enorme ruimte van de Melkweg.”
KLIMAATVERANDERING IN NEDERLAND
Ook in Nederland merken we de gevolgen van klimaatverandering. De temperatuur neemt toe, waardoor we minder sneeuwwinters krijgen. De kans op een Elfstedentocht neemt af van twintig procent per jaar naar eens per achttien jaar. Een ander duidelijk kenmerk is de toename van neerslag.
Een oven… Klimaatverandering vormt absoluut een bedreiging. Verandert onze planeet in een diepvries of in een oven? “De wereld van 2100 zal warmer en extremer weer kennen”, voorspelt McGuire.”En dat betekent op z’n minst een veel onprettiger leven voor miljarden mensen. Bewoners van laaggelegen kuststreken krijgen vaker te maken met een stijgende zeespiegel, waardoor fatale overstromingen eerder regel dan uitzondering worden. Steeds meer mensen komen om van de honger, omdat de regens het ene jaar na het andere uitblijven. Enorme gebieden in Afrika en Azië raken in de greep van droogte en hongersnood die er het gevolg van is.”
Het helpt niet mee dat er steeds meer monden gevoed moet worden. “De aarde moet meer dan zeven miljard mensen voeden, kleden en in hun levensonderhoud voorzien. Naar verwachting zijn dit er in 2050 zo’n negen miljard.” Dit levert conflicten op. “Nu al leven 1,7 miljard mensen in landen waar de zoetwatervoorziening ontoereikend is. Over 25 jaar zullen dat er vijf miljard zijn. De strijd om voedsel en water vormt een aanzet tot economische migratie op een schaal waarbij alles wat we tot nu toe hebben gezien in het niet valt. Op veel plekken in de wereld zullen instabiliteit en conflicten het gevolg zijn.”
Zo ver reikte het ijs tijdens de laatste ijstijd.
…of een diepvries? De meter kan ook de andere kant opslaan. “Gelet op de Milankovic-cycli heeft het huidige interglaciaal zijn langste tijd gehad en stevenen we af op een heuse ijstijd”, zegt de hoogleraar. “Volgens sommigen is er slechts een trigger voor nodig: een plotselinge schok waardoor het klimaatevenwicht aan het wankelen wordt gebracht, waarna het kantelt naar een veel onvriendelijkere toestand.” Als de temperaturen gaan dalen, heeft dit grote gevolgen. “Hoe dan ook – onze nakomelingen krijgen het zwaar wanneer het ijs terugkomt. In Europa, Noord-Amerika, Rusland en Centraal- en Oost-Azië wordt het leven min of meer onmogelijk. De aarde is er tijdens een ijstijd niet op berekend om te voorzien in het levensonderhoud van 8-10 miljard mensen of meer. De mensheid zal sterk worden gedecimeerd door wijdverbreide hongersnood en oorlogen, maar zal ongetwijfeld overleven.”
Actie tegen klimaatverandering Het is gelukkig nog niet te laat om actie te ondernemen. “Maar dan moeten we wereldwijd onze levensstijl veranderen”, schrijft McGuire. “Geen wegwerpsamenleving meer, maar één die effectief en efficiënt gebruik van energie en grondstoffen bevordert en beloont. Het enige dat werkt is doortastend overgaan op duurzame ontwikkeling. Minder brandstof verbruiken, investeren in hernieuwbare energiebronnen, veel meer recyclen en plaatselijk produceren (bijv. stadslandbouw, red.).”
Supererupties Maar er is meer waar we voor op moeten passen. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan supererupties en reusachtige tsunami’s. Een gigantische uitbarsting in een uithoek van de wereld kan het klimaat veranderen, waardoor de samenleving ten onder gaat. “Maar liefst 450 miljoen jaar geleden – gedurende het Ordovicium – lijken as en gloedwolken in wat nu Noord-Amerika is alles te hebben weggevaagd over een oppervlak van een miljoen vierkante kilometer. Bovendien moeten er enorme hoeveelheden as en stof in de atmosfeer zijn beland.” Stel dat het een periode ‘donker’ blijft: hoe gaan we ons dan voeden? Ontwikkelde landen als Duitsland, de Verenigde Staten en Australië hebben slechts genoeg voorraad om de bevolking één, maar niet meer dan twee maanden te voeden. De kans dat iemand die nu leeft een supereruptie meemaakt, is 1 op 714. Het is onwaarschijnlijk dat een supereruptie alle mensen uitroeit, maar onze mondiale technologische samenleving blijft mogelijk niet intact.
Wereldwijd zijn er zo’n veertig supervulkanen. De caldera van Yellowstone getuigt van een superuitbarsting 640.000 jaar geleden.
Daarnaast zijn er nog reuzentsunami’s, die kunnen ontstaan wanneer vulkanen instorten. Dit gebeurt naar schatting eens per tienduizend jaar. Of aardbevingen, waardoor dichtbevolkte steden in ruïnes veranderen. Beide rampen zullen niet het einde voor de mensheid betekenen, maar er gaan wel veel levens verloren.
Gevaar van boven Het echte gevaar komt van boven. “Om de vijf minuten verbrandt een fragment ter grootte van een erwt in onze atmosfeer”, zegt McGuire. “Elke maand doet een homp ter grootte van een voetbal de hemel oplichten. Om de paar eeuwen botst de aarde met een object van veertig tot vijftig meter. Dit is groot genoeg om een stad weg te vagen.” Wanneer een object 1,5 tot twee kilometer groot is, dan is er sprake van een mondiaal probleem. Tientallen miljoenen mensen sterven waarschijnlijk direct, terwijl de rest van de mensheid kampt met de gevolgen van de inslag: meer stof in de atmosfeer en dalende temperaturen. Gelukkig is er ook hier hoop. “Als we lang genoeg van te voren weten dat een asteroïde ons gaat raken, kunnen we in bepaalde situaties het object weg duwen.”
Er is hoop Over honderd jaar leven er tussen de 3,2 miljard en 24,8 miljard mensen op aarde. Dit is afhankelijk van allerlei factoren. Misschien moeten we maar hopen dat de toekomstige aarde minder mensen huisvest, want de toekomst voor onze nakomelingen wordt warmer, onherbergzamer en armer aan grondstoffen. “Op de korte termijn krijgen we misschien de ene klap na de andere”, concludeert McGuire. “Maar mogelijk leren we onze omgeving koesteren in plaats van er roofbouw op te plegen, hier op aarde voordat de zon ons uiteindelijk opslokt. En misschien later in het zonnestelsel, melkwegstelsel en daarbuiten. Dan hebben we de tijd om bijna alles te doen en te zijn.”

A NASA satellite in just the right position captured a spectacular celestial photobomb — a view of the moon moving in front of the sunlit side of Earth.
It is only the second time in a year that the NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite, orbiting about 1 million miles (1,609,344 kilometers) away from Earth, captured the moon crossing Earth's face, resulting in a spectacular time-lapse video.
"For the second time in the life of DSCOVR, the moon moved between the spacecraft and Earth,” Adam Szabo, DSCOVR project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a statement. "The project recorded this event on July 5 with the same cadence and spatial resolution as the first ‘lunar photobomb’ of last year." [Earth from Above: 101 Stunning Images from Orbit
Although DSCOVR's primary mission is to monitor solar wind in real time for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the satellite is also known for its stunning images of Earth, which are captured by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) — a 4-megapixel CCD camera and telescope on the DSCOVR satellite.

Due to DSCOVR's position between the sun and Earth, EPIC maintains aconstant view of the fully illuminated Earth as it rotates on its axis.
"It's surprising how much brighter Earth is than the moon," Szabo said in a statement about last year's moon images. "Our planet is a truly brilliant object in dark space compared to the lunar surface."
The moon is tidally locked to Earth, so the same face is always pointing toward the planet. DSCOVR offers a unique view of the moon's far side, which can be seen when the satellite's orbit intersects the lunar orbit. The two orbits intersect only four times a year, and the moon only appears between the spacecraft and Earth once or twice a year, depending on the relative orbital phases of the moon and DSCOVR, according to NASA.
This latest crossing of paths was captured by combining three images taken about 30 seconds apart. EPIC uses three separate monochrome exposures — red, blue and green — to generate "natural color" images of Earth.
The images were taken between July 4 at 11:50 p.m. EDT and July 5 at 3:18 a.m. EDT. The moon can be seen moving over the Indian and Pacific oceans, with the North Pole at the top of the images.
A team of researchers have conducted a five-year-long study on a wide range of Facebook users in a quest to find out how misinformation blossoms online. In their paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they note that it may be due to the nature of so-called “echo chambers,” spaces that allow people to amplify their own belief systems without obstruction.
In this sense, echo chambers describe certain areas of the media, particularly the Internet, wherein information or beliefs are reinforced by repetitive transmission inside an enclosed virtual space. These spaces, which also serve to keep contrasting views at bay, may explain why there are so many groups of people online – particularly on Facebook – that steadfastly believe information that is demonstrably nonsensical.
In order to investigate how effective these echo chambers were, 67 public Facebook pages – 32 regarding conspiracy theories and 35 related to science news – were comprehensively analyzed each and every time a post appeared, including how the followers interacted with it, from 2010 to 2014. Conspiracy theory sites include those that reject the overwhelming consensus on contemporary climate change, and those that believe that Jade Helm 15 – a series of military training exercises that occurred across the U.S. last year – were actually interpreted as signs of animpending civil war.
Reflection of computer screen in glasses
A third group consisting of two trolling pages, those that intentionally disseminate sarcastic, false information for potentially humorous effect, was also taken into account. These trolling websites acted as the experiment’s control group.
The researchers found that the way posts are initially distributed are the same for the science and conspiracy theory posts. Within the first two hours, and again after 20 hours of being posted, a post is shared most frequently, regardless of topic or validity – mostly with those that agree with their views.
However, a difference is noted in the long term. Science news is spread relatively quickly across the web, before sharing and discussion of the post drops off. Conversely, conspiracy theoriesbuild momentum more slowly before being shared and discussed increasingly for a longer period of time. This also means that conspiracy theories that gradually gain traction can eventually persist online, regardless of their limited factual basis.
Most significantly, however, is that the long-term online behavior of any type of group user both constructs and strengthens their own echo chambers. Individual people, publications or news organizations whose posts you click on or comment on more frequently will appear in your News Feed more often as a result; those you ignore will fade into near-complete obscurity.
This in itself is an echo chamber, one where the information fed back to you is reinforced by your online interactions. Eventually, therefore, a user’s Facebook space may exclusively include information that they believe in, and people that only agree with them.
A claim, whether it is substantiated or not, is given credence in the mind of an individual if the surrounding society deems it acceptable. This is known as confirmation bias, and this study shows that the phenomenon is just as prevalent in online communities as it is in physical ones. In the case of misinformation, this is incredibly dangerous – so much so that theWorld Economic Forum has declared its online spread, a form of “digital wildfire,” one of the main threats to global society.

15 Movies That Prepared Us For An Alien Invasion
15 Movies That Prepared Us For An Alien Invasion
15. WAR OF THE WORLDS
Lesson Learned: Befriend Tom Cruise.
In 1938, the world was emotionally unprepared for an alien invasion. Orson Welles’ Halloween radio broadcast of War of the Worlds, the H.G. Wells sci-fi novel, caused chaos in the streets. Welles’ theater company’s radio play induced widespread terror across America, inciting riots, panic and rumors of suicide. The broadcast sounded so authentic in describing the invading alien force that one woman ran into an Indianapolis church, screaming, “New York has been destroyed! It’s the end of the world! Go home and prepare to die!”
Though modern audiences knew what they were watching, Steven Spielberg’s 2005 re-imagining of War of the Worlds still packed in a lot of scares. While diverging from Wells’ classic invasion story by having the tripods be previously planted beneath earth’s surface, Spielberg unflinchingly depicts the aliens’ attempt at incinerating and harvesting mankind. These tripods are hunters and gatherers of the most devious kind, and unless your name is Tom Cruise or Dakota Fanning, they’ll have their way with you. How to survive? Get out of the streets, seek shelter and avoid shotgun-toting loonies like Harlan Ogilvy (Tim Robbins).
14. INDEPENDENCE DAY
Lesson Learned: Fly Air Force One.
Roland Emmerich has made a lot of disaster epics, though none are as beloved as Independence Day. Replete with vintage Will Smith, crazy-good Randy Quaid, nerd-master Jeff Goldblum and Greek-orator Bill Pullman, ID:4 teaches us how to retaliate against an alien species bent on total annihilation. Thanks to Pullman’s rousing speech, the movie also shows that a global invasion would quickly surrender mankind’s petty differences and demand intercontinental teamwork in the fight to survive.
As with War of the Worlds, victory lies in disabling the alien’s force fields. While countless souls must perish to do so, simply hijack a downed alien aircraft and fly it into the mother ship. After watching Will Smith work his magic, you’ll know what to do from there. Hopefully, Independence Day: Resurgence will give us of more of the goods.
13. 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE
Lesson Learned: Always carry a whiskey bottle.
Thanks to its clever framing of the invasion genre, this Cloverfield interquel posits whether humans can be as ruthless as aliens during times of uncertainty. For Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.), there appear to be few differences between getting attacked by aliens and being held captive by the taciturn Howard (John Goodman). To the vigilant farmer’s credit, however, building an underground, air-locked bunker may be the best resistance to impending invasion.
In director Dan Trachtenberg’s covertly-released but successful film, the aliens wage chemical warfare, crop-dusting the helpless populace with an airborne weapon of unknown origin. Using both her brain and brawn, Michelle investigates the aliens outside with a DIY-hazmat suit of her own. As she quickly discovers, it may have been best to stay underground
12. PREDATOR
Lesson Learned: Run. Being pursued by an invisible creature is an almost spiritual dilemma.
In John McTiernan’s 1987 classic, Predator, that terrifying conundrum is brought to life. After a restless squadron of commandos is sent on a rescue mission to a distant jungle, the team is steadily dismantled by a cloaked alien killer.
As the death toll rises, Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenneger) is forced to meet the Predator on equal ground. Using H2O as a disabling agent for the alien’s invisibility, Dutch cakes himself in mud to further escape its infrared vision. When Dutch finally out-dukes the Predator, he realizes the alien is pre-programmed for self-destruction, rendering their entire cage match an utterly worthless affair.
Fun fact: Shane Black, who has penned a sequel to the film that he also intends to direct, starred in the original film as the highly disposable Hawkins.
11. THE WORLD’S END
Lesson Learned: Finish your beer.
If the alien apocalypse comes upon us, nothing will be more important than our friends. Edgar Wright’s bookend to the Cornetto trilogy, The World’s End, imagines an alien invasion that replaces humans with androids.
Both a commentary on suburbia and a fantasy adventure about protecting your turf, The World’s End follows Gary King (Simon Pegg) and his friends Peter (Eddie Marsan), Oliver (Martin Freeman), Steven (Paddy Considine) and Andy (Nick Frost) as they seek to complete “the Golden Mile” pub crawl. Years after their botched 1990 effort, the five gentleman prepare to reach the 12th pub intact, The World’s End. Unfortunately, their past comes back to haunt them as hordes of old acquaintances have since become devious androids led by The Network (voiced by Bill Nighy). This pub crawl gives a whole new meaning to “leave no man behind.”
10. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND
Lesson Learned: Some aliens like music.
Steven Spielberg has built his career on curiosity. In his first extraterrestrial drama, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, he fashions a world of wonderment. While their force is magnetic and psychologically influential, the aliens in this 1977 adventure are more harmless than hell-bent.
Based off the classifications of astronomer and ufologist, J. Allen Hynek, “close encounters” refers to the proximity of a human interaction with aliens. While many individuals may be able to claim a close encounter of the first kind (witnessing an unidentified flying object in the distance), close encounters of the third kind refer to the undeniable presence of an alien beings. In Spielberg’s film, several individuals are drawn to Devil’s Tower anticipating an alien interaction, including Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) and Barry Guiler (Cary Guffey). Their imagination and instincts take them to a place of discovery and awe.
9. CONTACT
Lesson Learned: Keep looking.
The one film featured here without an honest to goodness invasion, Contact sets up a universe where intergalactic relations could become possible. In Robert Zemeckis’ daring film that unites the religious, the scientific and the political, we meet Eleanor Arroway (Jodie Foster), a woman who has dedicated her life to making contact with extraterrestrial life.
Her drive to touch the unknown is fueled by the early death of both her parents. Rejected by Congressional funding and doubted by her colleagues, Eleanor spends years reaching out into the great beyond without any signals meeting her on the way. This, of course, changes in Zemeckis’ story, as Eleanor makes contact with alien life and gets the opportunity to travel 25 light years away so she can meet them. Call it Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind.
8. THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951)
Lesson Learned: Some come in peace.
In the midst of the Cold War, a large extraterrestrial spacecraft lands near the White House. Its presence throws the world for a whirl, and when Klaatu (Michael Rennie) exits his platinum ship, the civilians go mad. Tanks and military flank the flying saucer and one particularly jumpy soldier shoots the alien being as he approaches. Down for the count, Klaatu rises up and welcomes his massive bodyguard named Gort, a metallic android with incinerating heat-seeking vision. As he emerges from the ship and walks down its futuristic runway, the crowd gasps in horror.
Despite all of this, the aliens in Robert Wise’s film don’t want to fight. On a mission of peace, Klaatu declares that an intergalactic tribunal has monitored earth’s violent activity and demanded they call an end to their aggression. The Day the Earth Stood Still is more a cautionary tale than one of destruction. Perhaps this explains the lack of interest in the film’s 2008 remake, which depicted the end of the world, rather than continuing the original movie’s focus on preventing that scenario.
7. SIGNS
Lesson Learned: Cornfields are creepy.
Crop circles have bewildered mankind for years. How perfect, then, for M. Night Shyamalan to prey upon these insecurities and build an alien adventure around them. In Signs, his pseudo-religious and extraterrestrial sci-fi film, Shyamalan localizes the fear of invasion to a small-town, Catholic family led by Father Graham Hess (Mel Gibson). Since the death of his wife and the growing “signs” of supernatural disturbances around his house, Hess has distanced himself from his priestly duties. Hearing of global “light” sightings, Graham and his family barricade themselves from the threat.
Unfortunately, their house has already been targeted. Along with its thrills, the movie’s underrated sense of humor is greatly welcome amid the creepy cornfield. When Graham and Merrill dart out of the house to pursue the encroaching alien, Graham shouts, “Ah! I’m insane with anger!” Running around the house, he follows up that gem with, “I’m losing my mind!” Few actors could pull this off with confidence equal to Mel Gibson.
6. DISTRICT 9
Lesson Learned: Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Neill Blomkamp’s 2009 sci-fi film solidified the director as a big-budget storyteller with indie-film sentiments. District 9 depicts an alternate universe where South Africa has been visited by a massive alien mothership that hovers over the country and infests its population with malnourished creatures called Prawns. This is a different sort of invasion than we’re used to seeing, however. More of a political and social culture clash than all-out war, District 9 creates an immigration morality play, asking how we might coexist with an alien species. Drawing on timeless international themes of migration and the long history of internment, Blomkamp sympathizes with the Prawns’ plight by having his leading man, Wikus van de Merwe (Sharlto Copley), become the very thing he was hired to fight against.
5. ATTACK THE BLOCK
Lesson Learned: Stick together.
Another cult classic in the making, Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block turns south London gangbangers into the ultimate resistance against alien beasts. Starring John Boyega as the gang leader Moses, Attack the Block chooses unlikely heroes to defend their turf from gorilla-like extraterrestrials. Produced by Edgar Wright and Big Talk Pictures (home of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and more), the movie pulsates with energy and tension.
While it may be low budget in comparison to other films in the genre, Attack the Block packs a punch every minute its on screen. Not without its own share of social commentary, Cornish’s invasion epic briefly examines inner city violence. Amid the carnage and chaos, Moses posits that the government is to blame: “Government probably bred those things to kill black boys. First they sent in drugs, then they sent guns and now they’re sending monsters in to kill us. They don’t care, man. We ain’t killing each other fast enough. So they decided to speed up the process.”
4. EDGE OF TOMORROW
Lesson Learned: Live. Die. Do it better.
Doug Liman’s revitalizing sci-fi entry somehow found humor in the apocalypse. Through the eyes of combat newbie and PR officer Bill Cage (Tom Cruise), we are taken on an adventure against the invading alien race, the Mimics. Hyper fast, violent and seemingly omniscient, the Mimics have steadily beaten back mankind to its last stronghold in England. When Cage is forced to join a modern D-Day assault on France, he and his squadron are decimated within minutes of landing on the beach.
After killing a massive Mimic, Cage dies covered in its blood and wakes up back at the base. Time has reversed, thanks to a bilious baptism that has given him the gift of Groundhog Day. Like in a video game with endless respawns, Cage steadily charts a course to victory through a series of violent trial and error. With the help of Rita Vrataski (played by a lean and mean Emily Blunt), Cage finds a way to use his newfound powers to end the invasion.
3. MARS ATTACKS!
Lesson Learned: If it quacks like a duck…
Out of all the preeminent sci-fi sendup films, Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! reigns supreme. Beyond the top-shelf cast and the dual performances of the zany Jack Nicholson, Burton’s ridiculous action-romp bends, breaks and borrows every cliche in the book. Lampooning the science fiction films of the ’50s, Burton imbues Mars Attacks! with enough one-dimensional characters and bland alien villains to completely destroy the genre.
Forgoing the vintage social commentary of films like The Day the Earth Stood Still, Burton gives his aliens ray guns that blow away all sense of subtlety. As Jack Nicholson’s President Dale so diplomatically inquires, “Why can’t we work out our differences? Why can’t we work things out? Little people, why can’t we all just get along?” Critics may have been split on the film, but loyal audiences have since turned Mars Attacks! into a cult classic.
2. MEN IN BLACK
Lesson Learned: The (alien) revolution will not be televised.
With a revolutionary approach to the sci-fi genre, director Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black created a world where aliens and humans live side by side. The goal, according to Jay (Will Smith) and Kay (Tommy Lee Jones), is to keep that dangerous truth a secret for as long as possible. While interviewing to become Kay’s partner, Jay asserts that people can handle the reality that aliens are already present on earth. Kay shoots down his optimism, saying “People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.”
As a result, the MIB agency stands to protect people from what they can’t comprehend while uprooting the truly dangerous aliens at large. This includes Edgar the Bug, played by Vincent D’Onofrio in a role that combines Jim Carrey’s wild antics with the fierceness of Wilson Fisk. Hopefully, some of that old alien magic will be retained for the forthcoming Men in Black/21 Jump Street crossover movie.
1. THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978)
Lesson Learned: Never fall asleep.
In one of the greatest allegories in science fiction, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers tells of an extraterrestrial coup that replaces emotional and sentient humans with blank copies of themselves. As Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) discovers in Philip Kauffman’s remake of the original 1956 film, these body-swaps happen while people sleep. When Bennell happens upon a mossy and glazed clone of himself growing in a garden, he bludgeons it to smithereens with a rusted shovel. Impostors be damned! There can only be one Donald Sutherland.
Unfortunately, the Pod People, the alien beings perpetuating this mass replacement, know that Matthew and everyone else will eventually succumb to sleep. Showing indifference and a lack of emotion may help you blend in, but only for some time. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers is perhaps the most insidious alien attack in any film, leaving audiences with a truly devastating finale.

Russia declassified secret images from Venus that show extraterrestrial life
Russia declassified secret images from Venus that show extraterrestrial life
The Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, published a series of photographs, taken by the Venera probe which allegedly show evidence of living organisms on Venus, one of the most inhospitable places for humans in the solar system. Venus, the second planet from the sun is the most similar planet in our solar system in terms of size and structure to Earth. In terms of the surface it is anything but Earth-like.
It is the hottest planet in the solar system, mainly due to its atmosphere which is 97 percent carbon dioxide, a heat trapping greenhouse gas.
The constant temperature on Venus is 480 degrees Celsius, a temperature which is hot enough to melt lead and it even hotter than the nearest planet to the Sun, Mercury.
According to Russian scientist Leonid Ksanfomaliti, this image, taken from a Russian probe that landed on Venus in 1982, we can see a scorpion-shaped life form
According to an explanation by Leonid Ksanfomaliti, doctor of physical and mathematical science, at the Institute of Space Research, the images taken 30 years ago reveal the movement of extremely strange objects on the surface of Venus.
NASA quickly went on to debunk the discovery. As explained, the ‘disc’ that is seen moving on the surface is a lens cap, and the ‘scorpion-like-creature’ proposed by Ksanfomaliti is actually ‘noise’ in a second-hand picture which isn’t present in the original image.
Ksanfomaliti believes that in the images, a scorpion-shaped creature, a disk and a ‘black flap’ are visible moving in front of the onboard camera of the Venera 13.
According to reports from a Russian news agency Ksanfomaliti explained in an article of the Russian journal Solar System Research magazine: ‘They all ’emerge, fluctuate and disappear,
‘What if we forget about the current theories about the non-existence of life on Venus, let’s boldly suggest that the objects’ morphological features would allow us to say that they are living,’ he added.
But American counterparts seem to firmly disagree with Ksanfomaliti. Ted Stryk who is a photo analyst at NASA says it is more likely that the disc Ksanfomaliti is talking about could have come from the spacecraft.
‘Venera-13 had two cameras, one in front and one in back. The one image shows the front camera lens cap and the other shows the rear camera lens cap, not one lens cap that moved,’ he says, in comments on Life’s Little Mysteries.
NASA says there is no way that anything can survive on Venus today. However, scientists have not ruled out that once, in the distant past, Venus might have supported life, in a time when the planet might have had giant oceans and possibly life, before the ‘greenhouse effect’ created the temperatures that rule over the planet today.
‘Current theories suggest that Venus and the Earth may have started out alike. There might have been a lot of water on Venus and there might have been a lot of carbon dioxide on Earth,’ Professor Andrew Ingersoll of Caltech said in a paper published in Astrobiology in 2004.
Images of the surface of Venus taken by the Soviet Venera-13 descent module in 1982
The problem with science and scholars in search for extraterrestrial life is that mankind believes that for life to exist elsewhere in the solar system or universe, a planet should have a similar climate and conditions to those of Earth.
What if elsewhere, on Venus perhaps, there are living beings which need scorching temperatures in order to survive, beings that can breathe carbon dioxide and cannot survive with water or oxygen. In order to search more adequately for extraterrestrial life, we need to change the conditions and patterns for extraterrestrial life.
Rusland werkt aan een nieuw soort stealthbommenwerper die op slechts twee uur naar eender welke plaats ter wereld kan vliegen en een kernaanval kan lanceren vanuit de ruimte. De eerste testen met een prototype van de motor waren succesvol. De hypersonische PAK-DA-bommenwerper, die onzichtbaar is voor radartechnologie, zal naar verwachting vanaf 2020 de lucht ingaan.
De PAK-DA wordt uitgerust met een speciale hybride Turbofan-motor, die het toestel in staat stelt om een lage ruimtevlucht te maken. Zolang de bommenwerper zich bevindt binnen de atmosfeer van de aarde zal hij vliegen op kerosine. Eens in de ruimte, schakelt de motor over op methaan en zuurstof, waardoor de PAK-DA zonder lucht kan vliegen.
Het vliegtuig is ontworpen om op te stijgen op gewone luchthavens en naar de ruimte te vliegen met een lading langeafstandsraketten, waaronder hypersonische kernraketten. Van daaruit zal het aanvallen op doelwitten kunnen uitvoeren alvorens terug te keren naar de basis.
Rusland, China en de VS zijn momenteel verwikkeld in een nieuwe wapenwedloop voor de ontwikkeling van hypersonische vliegtuigen en raketten die tot vijf keer sneller zijn dan de geluidssnelheid.
De PAK-DA wordt ontwikkeld door het Tupolev Design Bureau, dat ook de beruchte Tu-95-bommenwerpers ontwerp. De voorbije maanden werden herhaaldelijk Tu-95's in de buurt van het Britse luchtruim gesignaleerd.
2020
Generaal Sergei Karakayev, commandant van de Russische Strategische Raketmacht, bevestigt dat een prototype van de motor al gebouwd en getest werd. "De inzetbaarheid van de eenheid is bewezen. We bekijken nu de aanpassingen, wat ongeveer een jaar zal duren. Zodra we het eens zijn over de plannen, zullen we de motor zelf beginnen bouwen. In het tweede jaar van de ontwikkeling (2018) zullen we de hardware bouwen. Misschien loop ik te hard van stapel en duiken er enkele problemen op, maar tegen 2020 zouden we een volledig functionerend product moeten hebben."
De motor van de PAK-DA wordt tentoongesteld tijdens het Internationale Militaire Technologieforum in Moskou in september.

MYSTERY OF THE TAYOS CAVE - LEGENDARY METAL LIBRARY FOUND IN ECUADOR
MYSTERY OF THE TAYOS CAVE - LEGENDARY METAL LIBRARY FOUND IN ECUADOR
In what maybe one of the biggest discoveries ever, a team of explorers is claiming that they have found the legendary golden library and other mysterious treasures in the Tayos Cave system in Ecuador.
THE LEGENDARY GOLDEN LIBRARY
The team announced that they accidentally found some hidden tunnels that were obviously dug out artificially sometime in the ancient past while inside one of the main chambers. The team was able to follow one of these tunnels for approximately ½ mile and came upon a large room containing the golden library and various other treasures.
Below is a list of what the explorers claim to have found in this chamber:
1. A library with thousands of metal books. The team was unable to specify what metal the books were made of but the look was similar to silver. Each page had symbols and strange writing on them.
2. Individual plates with writing on them and strange symbols that looked to be made of gold.
3. At least several hundred statues of insects, animals and humans spread throughout the large chamber.
4. Lots of metal bars thought to be both gold and/or silver. Also found were various children’s toys and jewelry items made from gold or silver.
As of right now, the team has only announced their findings onto a radio show and no other announcements have been made so the jury is still out as too whether their claims are completely true.
The team did claim to have samples of at least one of the metal books, one golden plate and several small statues that they will be submitting to professional testing so hopefully this will give us answers shortly
The Nazi Antarctic fortress: Base 211 and Operation Highjump
The Nazi Antarctic fortress: Base 211 and Operation Highjump
During the Second World War, the Nazi’s carried out a number of strange experiments with alleged technologies unknown to the rest of the world in their attempt to rule the world. They searched the planet for mythical artifacts and otherworldly technology hoping to come across a supreme power that would allow them to conquer the unconquerable.
Numerous ‘alleged’ covert operations took place during the Nazi era, and one of the most memorable one’s is that of Neuschwabenland and their enigmatic Base 211 located within Antarctica.
Neuschwabenland or New Swabia is located on the Antarctic continent between 20°E and 10°W in Queen Maud Land. This faraway land was explored in great detail by the German Antarctic expedition which even came across parts with warm fresh-water, ice-free areas and vegetation, in an area where according to science, everything is frozen. According to geologists who participated in the German expedition, the areas where vegetation was present were due to hot springs or other geothermal sources.
One of the most interesting quotes about Neuschwabenland and Antarctica comes from German Navy Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz who said that: “The German submarine fleet is proud of having built for the Führer in another part of the world a Shangri-La on land, an impregnable fortress.”
For half a century, rumors about secret Nazi expedition and a secret base called ‘Station 211’ has existed among writers and researchers. But were the Nazis equipped to carry out such fascinating missions? And is the above-mentioned quote from Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz true?
According to a number of rumors, ‘Station 211’ did exist, and if it did, then it must have been (maybe till is) located inside the ice-free mountain range in the Muhlig-Hofmann Mountains of Neuschwabenland, aka Queen Maud Land.
However, today many people rush and dismiss the existence of secret bases on Antarctica suggesting there is no evidence to support such claims.
As always, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Facts are though to track down since there is a mind-boggling amount of stories and ‘alleged’ witnesses who state the Nazis had created a Shangri-La on land, an impregnable fortress at Neuschwabenland.
Many authors propose that in 1946-47 Admiral Byrd, one fo the most famous American polar explorers searched for secret Nazi bases. Many authors propose that the so-called Operation Highjump when Admiral Byrd had at his disposal the largest armada ever to be sent to Antarctica.
Operation Highjump included a staggering 13 ships, an aircraft carrier, a submarine, two destroyers and a total of 4,700 men with full battle gear in what was officially called an ordinary ‘training exercise.’
However, many people believe that Operation Highjump was anything but a training mission.
The flotilla included:
Aan escort aircraft carrier (the Philippines Sea)
two seaplane carriers (the Pine Island and Curritich)
two destroyers (the Brownsen and Henderson)
two escort ships (Yankee and Merrick)
two fueling ships (Canister and Capacan)
A submarine (the Sennet)
Operation Highjump was curiously terminated six months earlier than expected. An excerpt from February 19, 1947, describes Admiral Byrd’s arrival over the pole at 1000 hours:
We are crossing over the small mountain range and still proceeding northward as best as can be ascertained. Beyond the mountain range is what appears to be a valley with a small river or stream running through the center portion. There should be no green valley below! Something is definitely wrong and abnormal here! We should be over Ice and Snow! To the portside are great forests growing on the mountain slopes. Our navigation Instruments are still spinning; the gyroscope is oscillating back and forth!
Conspiracy theories surrounding Byrd, Station 211 and other mysterious discoveries made by Admiral Byrd –like the existence of blue-skinned people—are endless.
Interestingly, many people believe Admiral Byrd made a number of cryptic comments while he was interviewed by the International News Service correspondent Lee Van Atta aboard the USS Mount Olympus. The article appeared on the March 5th, 1947 edition of Chilean newspaper ‘El Mercurio’:
“Adm. Byrd declared today that it was imperative for the United States to initiate immediate defense measures against hostile regions. The admiral further stated that he didn’t want to frighten anyone unduly but that it was a bitter reality that in case of a new war the continental United States would be attacked by flying objects which could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds. Admiral Byrd repeated the above points of view, resulting from his personal knowledge gathered both at the north and south poles, before a news conference held for International News Service.”
While ‘El Mercurio’ is in fact a real newspaper, many people remain skeptical about the article and Admiral Byrd’s comments. Is it possible that a real danger did exist in the southernmost parts of Antarctica after World War II? If so, what were these threats? Were the Nazis involved?
No one can say for sure whether or not Admiral Byrd searched for the secret Nazi base, or if he ver stumbled across it.
However, researchers did find the so-called ice-free mountains. Between 1956 and 1960, a Norwegian exploration team mapped extensive parts of Queen Maud Land where they stumbled across areas with vegetation and to the surprise of many, they also discovered the mountains matching the description of the rumors behind Station 211.
What are your thoughts? Do you believe that the Nazis had the ability and means to construct secret bases around the globe? Among them Base 211 on Antarctica? Or are these stories just elaborate myths without conclusive evidence?
SETI: “To find ET’s we must open our minds and have a less anthropocentric stance”
SETI: “To find ET’s we must open our minds and have a less anthropocentric stance”
To find ET, we must open our minds beyond a deeply-rooted, Earth-centric perspective, expand our research methods and deploy new tools. Advanced intelligent life is probably abundant in the universe, but can be very different from us. We need to understand how to identify it. In order to do so, a radical change in current methodologies is needed.
Research director of SETI, Nathalie Cabrol, proposes a more multidisciplinary approach in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, beyond radio and optics. According to Cabrol, we must remain open-minded about Alien lifeforms and have a lesser anthropocentric stance when looking for ET.
In an article published in the journal Astrobiology, Cabrol suggests the need for a radical change in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, with a combination of physical, biological, computer and social sciences, joined on a mission to search for life in different forms we may not even know exists.
Cabrol asserts that “To find ET, we must open our minds beyond a deeply-rooted, Earth-centric perspective, expand our research methods and deploy new tools. Never before has so much data been available in so many scientific disciplines to help us grasp the role of probabilistic events in the development of extraterrestrial intelligence. These data tell us that each world is a unique planetary experiment. Advanced intelligent life is likely plentiful in the universe, but may be very different from us, based on what we now know of the co-evolution of life and environment.”
Led by pioneers such as Frank Drake and Jill Tarter, SETI-the Search for extraterrestrial intelligence began in the 1960s using radio astronomy to ‘listen’ to potential signals sent from our cosmic neighbours. Today, we search for radio and optical signals generated by a technology similar to ours. And even though there are compelling reasons to continue with these efforts, it is equally convincing expand the search criteria and accept existing and other methodologies that might prove useful in the near future.
Advanced intelligent life is probably abundant in the universe, but can be very different from us.
This is why Cabrol promotes the establishment of a Virtual Institute with the participation of the global scientific community. The new Virtual SETI Institute would integrate our new knowledge to understand who aliens might be and where they might be located. Cabrol proposes we should break the constraints imposed by only suggesting extraterrestrial necessarily needs to be similar to us.
“The timing is right for SETI research around the world to open a new chapter in its history. The SETI Institute is taking the lead on this new path,” says Bill Diamond, President, and CEO of the SETI Institute. “In the coming months, we will invite the US and international research communities to contribute to a new scientific roadmap for SETI. We will explore resources for the development of a Virtual Institute, and an intellectual framework for projects focused on the advancement of knowledge on extraterrestrial intelligence,” said Cabrol.
Another top secret document leaked by a UFO researcher is seen as the first convincing evidence that parts have been found of a flying saucer on Earth.
During the first Canadian hearing on UFOs in Ontario, Victor Viggiani revealed a confidential memo dated November 14, 1968. The memo is about a UFO that is found in the north of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
UFO FOUND IN THE NORTH OF THE CANADIAN PROVINCE OF SASKATCHEWAN
On October 17 that year, J. Hodges of Canada’s National Research Council would have delivered a metal fragment that was found by a pilot. The fragment was found in the area around Wollaston Lake.
Research then showed that the fragment was probably part of a vessel which traveled through space. The authorities were aware of the findings, according to the memo.
It is unclear whether more research has been done on the piece of metal. There were also photos made, but have not surfaced yet. UFO researchers see it as proof that the Earth has been visited by intelligent aliens.
Skeptics argue that it is a possible component of a satellite or a missile which is launched by people, and then is burned out in the atmosphere
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 SKELETONS OF GIANTS WERE REMOVED
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
various references define a scorched earth policy pretty much as the phrase implies. It’s not difficult to figure out what the consequences of this type of operation would be to life on Earth; however, it can also have limited uses.
For example:
“A military strategy of burning or destroying buildings, crops, or other resources that might be of use to an invading enemy force.”
“The policy in warfare of removing or destroying everything that might be useful especially by fire.”
“A military strategy or operational method which involves destroying anything that might be useful to the enemy while advancing through or withdrawing from an area.
Although initially referring to the practice of burning crops to deny the enemy food sources, in its modern usage the term includes the destruction of infrastructure such as shelter, transportation, communications and industrial resources.
The practice may be carried out by an army in enemy territory, or its own home territory. It may overlap with, but is not the same as, punitive destruction of an enemy’s resources, which is done for purely strategic/political reasons rather than strategic/operational reasons.”
One well-known example of this strategy is what Eurasians and African-Eurasians did to their perceived enemies, the indigenous population of North America, when they systematically burned their crops, destroyed thousands of buffalo, imposed forced relocation, and intentionally destroyed their culture.
Unfortunately, since this terrible time in our past, we have not done much to improve the plight of Native Americans and their culture remains irrevocably changed.
Why?
Why would any of these Beings implement a “scorched earth policy”?
How would that benefit all of these different species who appear so intent, I might even say dependent upon “mining” the human population as this myriad of
Beings appears to be doing?
All of them use us to a certain extent.
All of them:
the Greys
the Reptilians
the short pudgy Beings
the Hybrids
the Mantises
to a lesser extent, the Nordics or Blondes
I’ve seen them all do similar things to humans – and I know that they all need the human species. In fact, more and more people are beginning to suspect they need us much more than we need them.
So, to annihilate humans – and especially the millions of other life-forms that are as precious as the Earth itself – simply doesn’t make sense.
Are the Reptilians using the followers of the Mormon religion to create hybrid offspring of a specific genetic makeup?
In other words, is there something particularly important about the genetic pool encompassing the people of the Mormon religion that makes them so special to the Reptilians?
Could that be why tracing their genealogy is so important to them?
Why Mormons and not Catholics?
Do Mormons have greater numbers or similar numbers of children than Catholics have?
Both religions are similar in the way they treat women and the fact that procreation is one of the most important things they stress in their followers’ lives.
Many humans on our planet find this behavior completely ridiculous since our planet’s resources are limited and we are already having problems sustaining current population growth.
Ironically, the message from the Reptilians and perhaps most of the aliens appears to be:
“Breed, breed, breed.”
When you think about it, that part of the equation actually makes sense.
We know they are creating a hybrid species and are literally mining the bodies of thousands, perhaps millions of human beings. Of course they want us to breed. The more humans there are, the easier it is for them to obtain the genetic resources they require.
However, there comes a point where the proverbial bubble will burst and when the pendulum will begin to swing in the other direction… when habitat destruction and the depletion of a species’ natural resources has an impact on all of us.
This is part of the cycle of life and it will occur. It’s just a matter of time. It is perhaps this simple truth the Reptilians were relaying to me.
The systematic creation of religion and other forms of control mechanisms on our planet are most likely the biggest deception involving the ET presence on Earth. The images of the aliens saving abductees while the Earth is being destroyed – these images that have been shown to abductees over and over again – could really be just a lure.
We could indeed be special to them; but we could also be little more than overused, over-abused laboratory specimens who no longer have a purpose – not to mention the rest of the human race.
Have we been manipulated through religion? Absolutely.
The question now is:
Will we continue to allow others, whether they are human or alien – to use religion and other forms of fear as a means of controlling us?
It is my sincere hope that each time an experience of this phenomenon goes public about what is really happening involving these otherworldly intelligence, that more and more people will start thinking about the answers to these questions themselves.
In Loja province, Southern Ecuador and Peru border, many strange relics have been uncovered.
Bones and full skeletons very similar to those of humans but of incredible size.
SEVEN TIMES THE SIZE OF A MODERN HUMAN
These artifacts have been watched over for many years by several guardians in the beautiful valleys of that Province.
Several fragments were redirected to the Smithsonian Institution of the United States of America, for people to study their density, age, weight etc.
This was broadcast on a television program for Ecuador, which lasted two hours, led by renowned director Alfonso Espinosa De Los Monteros.
Several other important relics and fragments are known to be in private collections, by people who are not interested in sharing them, at least not with the public.
From the aforementioned fragmented skeleton, seven fragments were studied by different scientists and anatomists, and they have confirmed, that they are part of a human skeleton that was seven times the size of a modern human
In Hungary, a group of physicists have just made an announcement that they probably have found evidence of a mysterious fifth force of nature. If the finding is confirmed, it would mean we’d need to rethink our understanding of how the Universe actually works.
Considering our current understanding of physics there are four fundamental forces. Gravity holds the planets and galaxies together, and the electromagnetic force holds us and our molecules together. At the smallest level are the two other forces: the strong nuclear force is the glue for atomic nuclei, and the weak nuclear force helps some atoms go through radioactive decay. These forces summarise physics we can observe, more or less.
These four forces are an essential part of the standard model of physics, which explain all the behavior and particles we see in the Universe.
Have scientists finally discovered the fifth force of nature?
During the previous year, Attila Krasznahorkay and his group at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences’s Institute for Nuclear Research in Debrecen, Hungary published a paper announcing their discovery of a mysterious fifth force, but for some reason their discovery did not meet a good media coverage.
The group discovered their new force while looking for a “dark photon,” light that only impacts dark matter. They shot protons at lithium-7 samples creating beryllium-8 nuclei, which, as it decayed, emitted pairs of electrons and positrons. Suddenly, as they observed the emitted pairs, instead of a consistent drop-off, there was a slight bump, which the researchers attributed to the creation of an unknown particle with a mass of approximately 17 MeV.
For one year nothing happened, until now when a group of theoretical physicists led by Jonathan Feng at the University of California, Irvine, looked closer a the Hungarian group’s results, and found this new force didn’t seem to break any existing laws of physics.
Scientists are aware of that a new force would not be completely unexpected. The evidence for dark matter stems primarily from observations of the velocities of galaxies within galaxy clusters.
Researchers know about its existence and that there is no empty space in the universe.

Date of sighting: July 12, 2016 Location of sighting: Memphis, Tennessee, USA News Source: MUFON report #77636 This is interesting. A group of metallic orbs was seen coming out of a cloud and was near a plane flying past. Perhaps the orbs were hiding and waiting for planes, so they could scan the technology. My favorite part of the eyewitness description is that he noticed the orbs come out of the cloud before he took the photo. Excellent. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: I was at work when I took this photo. I work in Memphis,Tn. The warehouse is only maybe 5 miles from Memphis international Airport. I was on my lunch break from 1230 to 1 o'clock Pm. I Saw a large military cargo plane ( the kind that drops tanks out of the back with parachutes attached) taking off from the airport heading south, then turned to head east as it was taking off. The plane made a small maneuver, ( I thought to myself that the huge plane shouldn't try that at such a slow speed.) as the metallic orbs appeared out of the small clouds. I grabbed my phone to try and capture both the plane and the orbs closer together.The military plane can still be seen very well by zooming in. I stopped looking at the orbs to check the photo for both plane and orbs,GOT THEM BOTH, when I looked back to the sky I didnt see the orbs any more. Also there appears to be a bird flying close to one of the orbs. I Am including a screenshot of the details from the photo along with the photo, and map of where I work showing the airport. Enjoy. Also I have seen Chinook helicopters flying in groups of three for the past few days, just throwing that in there.
This is really strange. In the UK this week a fleet of semi trucks were seen carrying dozens of UFOs on their flatbeds. These UFOs have plastic tarps over them with Chinese writing that says, "do not move." Is it possible that the Royal Air Force is transporting prototypes of a flying disk that they made using alien technology from crashes? I think its feasible. I also have to laugh at the governments excuse...since they are calling these wind turbines. I've seen wind turbines, and they don't look anything like this. The USAF did participate in a flying disk shaped UFO back in the 1990s called Project Aurora. This may be its evolution. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com UK News states: Commuters on the A34 might have been forgiven for thinking they were in the middle of an alien invasion yesterday morning when 'flying saucers' arrived on the road. Two lorries carrying the huge saucer-shaped objects were part of a convoy which was spotted travelling past Oxford. Further investigation revealed they were parts of a wind turbine being transported. The vehicles were caught in heavy rain as they made their journey in hazardous conditions.

This UFO is unusual because it seems to have two tails, and it has a rocket like shape to it. The fact that this is over the World Trade Center shows me that aliens have a lot of interest not just in the old building, but also in the new buildings that have symbolic meaning to the country. If you go to a cultural location that has a special meaning to people, look up once in a while, you might get lucky and see a UFO. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: First of all sorry for my English writing. We were visiting WTC groundzero with my wife. I was capturing continously without focusing a spesific object. I captured many photos. In one minute I captured 3 photos consecutively. After holiday while I and my wife viewing photos we found an unknown object and it was flying above. We didn't detect it with naked eyes when we were visiting WTC. I don't belive that US Goverment lets an ordinary vechile to fly above WTC. Maybe this is an undetected vechile or it was a Made in USA UFO. In photo 1 there are colorful circles. In Photo 2 that circles are replacing and an UFO appears suddenly. In photo 3 there is no light no UFO. I want professionals to analyze the images and I am so curious about results. I was not a believer but I was ready to believe. Now I want to believe!
Policeman Sees Tall Whites In The Middle of The Field With Crop Circle Formation
Policeman Sees Tall Whites In The Middle of The Field With Crop Circle Formation
A shocking claim of a policeman made the rounds online. Several tall white aliens reportedly emerged in a newly-built crop circle in Wiltshire.
The officer, who chooses not to be named to protect his career, was off duty when strange beings emerged in the middle of a field with crop circle formation.
The man noticed an activity from a distance and stopped his car to investigate after having a strange feeling about it.
He reportedly approached the trio, which he described as taller than six feet with long blond hair. However, the trio ran away after the police officer heard the sound of static electricity. To the witness’ surprise, the three men ran away faster than any other human beings.
The officer considered the event as almost unreal, which apparently happened on July 6, 2009.
After the trio had run away, the witness drove straight back to Marlborough in Wiltshire. He later contacted paranormal experts and crop circle investigators, Andrew Russell and Colin Andrews.
Mr. Russell said that the witness initially thought there were forensic officers in the field as they were dressed in white coverall. The unusual figures seemed to be checking the crop.
The noise was still around after the trio ran away from the witness. The police officer claimed to experience a pounding headache that he could not shift afterward.
Colin is convinced to the testimony of the police officer. Colin added that he saw no reason at all why the police would make up the story. He believes that there’s too much additional information to say that the event is something in nothing with the unusual movement of the beings and the poltergeist experiences.
The experts suggest that the three were part of Tall Whites, an alien race that has been the subject of several sightings throughout the years.
Meanwhile, a Wiltshire Police spokesman refused to comment on the news because the reporting witness was off duty, making it a personal, not a police matter.
A video recently caught the attention of online UFO followers as it shows a flying saucer that seems to stalk a jet airliner. The UFO appeared from dark clouds in a video that intentionally aimed to an aircraft flying through a massive lightning storm.
The apparent disk-shaped object in the video is somewhat hiding behind clouds and traveling behind a passenger plane. The footage was captured over Italy, and the unidentified flying object showed up after a sudden flash of lightning.
Enthusiasts have been debating the connection between UFOs and atmospheric electrical phenomenon – thunder and lightning storms.
Many believe that alien ships cause lightning or are pulled to it. They suggest that UFOs like this one fly without lights and appear to be stealth craft. However, flashes of lightning reveal their presence in the middle of night clouds. They believe that advanced alien ships gather energy from electrical discharges – like charging their batteries with the lightning.
Just late in June, footage showing fireball UFOs in the sky amidst a thunderstorm in Buffalo, New York made rounds online. It also sparked debates with many commenters saying that these UFOs were alien craft possibly harvesting energy from lightning or perhaps studying thunderstorm phenomenon.
Betty Hill drew a star map of the constellation that the aliens pointed to
On September 19 1961, Betty and Barney Hill of Portsmouth, New Hampshire claim to have been abducted by aliens.
Scientists at the time discredited a map drawn by Betty which outlined the exact location of where she claimed the extra-terrestrials originated.
Experts claimed there was no constellation similar to the drawing and that it bore no resemblance to any known formation at the time.
Now years later, one statistician has remarkably argued that the unusual alignment of key sun-like stars in the drawing, which mirrors the Zeta Reticuli could never have happened by chance and that Betty WAS a victim of an alien abduction.
Just south of Lancashire,New Hampshire, Betty and Barney claim to have seen a strange, oval craft hovering above them.

Then, they spotted a group of 'humanoid beings' watching them from behind a curved lighted window in the craft. Their last conscious memory was of the same creatures standing in the middle of the road, blocking their path.
The next thing they knew they were pulling up at their house in Portsmouth. Over three hours of their journey was unaccounted for with neither of them able to remember the details of that night’s events.
Betty, speaking before her death in 2004, said in an never before seen interview: "I was taken on board. Barney was taken into one room and I was taken into another. The one who did the testing we called The Examiner.
"First they put me on a stool and they checked my eyes, ears, nose, throat. They put me on a table, and said they wanted to check my nervous system.
"Then they tried to insert a needle-like instrument in my navel which caused pain so they stopped doing it. Barney’s exam was very much like mine in the beginning except they were interested in his bone structure.”

Betty also remembered a conversation with ‘The Leader’ in which she asked where the extra terrestrials had come from. “I said ‘I know you’re not from this planet but where are you from?’ He showed me a star map indicating where he came from’.
Under hypnosis, Betty drew the map which consisted of twelve prominent stars connected by lines and three lesser ones that formed a distinctive triangle. She said she was told the stars connected by solid lines formed "trade routes", whereas dashed lines were to less-traveled stars.
David Saunders, a statistician who had been on the Condon UFO study, argued that the unusual alignment of key sun-like stars in a plane centered around Zeta Reticuli was statistically improbable to have happened by chance from a random sketch and that Betty was in fact telling the truth.
He claimed that only aliens could have given her the information.

Other puzzling evidence surrounding the claimed abduction at the time include Betty’s dress being torn, and covered in a strange pink powder which was later confirmed as 'not being of any organic origin'. There were shiny concentric circles covering the boot of their car and when a compass was placed next to them it would spin uncontrollably.
Later, after the 'encounter', the couple began to experience terrible nightmares and suffer symptoms of severe stress.
Barney became so ill, they sought medical advice. The couple were examined and put under hypnosis by psychiatrist, Dr Benjamin Simon who made an astonishing discovery.
When Betty and Barney were regressed to the missing time and alleged moment of abduction, they were able to clearly recall all the details, serving as further proof of the couple's story.

Another incredible picture to emerge from these sessions occurred when Barney sketched his abductors – creating the first known image of an alien.
Later, a 3 dimensional model was created by a local artist.
Barney died of a cerebral hemorrhage on February 25, 1969, at age 46. Betty believed this was partially due to the terrifying experience of his alien abduction.
Betty Hill died October 17, 2004, having spent the intervening years proving beyond a doubt that she was visited by aliens from a distant planet.

Mars Rover Curiosity Bounces Back from Glitch
Mars Rover Curiosity Bounces Back from Glitch
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is back in action after being sidelined by a glitch for a week.
Curiosity put itself into a protective "safe mode" on July 2 after noticing an anomaly. But the rover's handlers brought the six-wheeled robot out of safe mode on Saturday (July 9), and Curiosity is resuming full operations today (July 11), NASA officials said.
The Curiosity team is still investigating the events of July 2, but they think they know what happened.
"The most likely cause of entry into safe mode has been determined to be a software mismatch in one mode of how image data are transferred on board," NASA officials wrote in an update today. "Science activity planning for the rover is avoiding use of that mode, which involves writing images from some cameras’ memories into files on the rover’s main computer. Alternate means are available for handling and transmitting all image data."
The car-size Curiosity rover has now entered safe mode four times since touching down inside Mars' 96-mile-wide (154 kilometers) Gale Crater in August 2012, recovering fully every time. The other three safe-mode events all occurred in 2013.
The main goal of Curiosity's $2.5 billion mission is to determine whether or not Gale Crater has ever been capable of supporting microbial life. Curiosity's observations have allowed team members to conclude that Gale Crater once hosted a long-lasting system of lakes and streams, suggesting that the area was indeed habitable billions of years ago.
A 'Curiosity'
NASA's Curiosity rover — the centerpiece of NASA's $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission — landed on Mars Aug. 5. How much do you know about Curiosity and its mission?
Since September 2014, Curiosity has been exploring the foothills of the 3-mile-high (5 km) Mount Sharp, which rises from Gale's center. The rover is studying the different rock layers in the area as it climbs, searching for clues about when and why the Red Planet shifted from a warm and relatively wet world in the ancient past to the cold, dry place it is today.
The rover should keep mountaineering for a while, provided it stays healthy; NASA recently extended Curiosity's mission through October 2018.
Did Supernova Explosion Contribute to Earth Mass Extinction?
Did Supernova Explosion Contribute to Earth Mass Extinction?

A faraway supernova explosion may have contributed to a minor mass extinction here on Earth 2.59 million years ago, a new study suggests.
Fast-moving, charged particles called cosmic rays that were blasted out by asupernova may have played a role in the climatic changes that apparently led to a die-off at the end of the Pliocene epoch and the start of the Pleistocene, researchers said.
"Africa dried out, and a lot of the forest turned into savannah. Around this time and afterwards, we started having glaciations — ice ages — over and over again, and it's not clear why that started to happen," study co-author Adrian Melott, of the University of Kansas, said in a statement. "It's controversial, but maybe cosmic rays had something to do with it." [Wipe Out: History's Most Mysterious Extinctions]
Melott and his colleagues — led by Brian Thomas, of Washburn University in Kansas — conducted computer simulations that modeled how supernovas might affect Earth's climate and biosphere. (Supernovas can occur in two ways: when a star much more massive than the sun runs out of fuel and dies, or when a superdense stellar corpse called a white dwarf steals so much matter from a nearby companion star that it crosses a mass threshold and explodes.)
The researchers were particularly interested in supernovas that occur about 300 light-years from Earth, because scientists think such events flared up twice relatively recently — once 6.5 million to 8.7 million years ago, and again 1.7 million to 3.2 million years ago. (This latter supernova is the one that may be tied to the Pliocene-Pleistocene extinction.)
"I was expecting there to be very little effect at all," Melott said, noting that 300 light-years is not very close.
The results were therefore surprising. The team's simulations suggest, for example, that such supernovas bathed the night sky in blue light so bright that it disrupted animals' sleep patterns for weeks. And, more importantly, a surge of radiation probably hit organisms on land and in the shallower parts of the ocean.
"The big thing turns out to be the cosmic rays," Melott said. "The really high-energy ones are pretty rare. They get increased by quite a lot here — for a few hundred to thousands of years, by a factor of a few hundred. The high-energy cosmic rays are the ones that can penetrate the atmosphere. They tear up molecules. They can rip electrons off atoms, and that goes on right down to the ground level. Normally, that happens only at high altitude."
Did Supernova Explosion Contribute to Earth Mass Extinction?
The end result was likely a tripling of the overall radiation dose at ground level, the researchers found. This may have been enough to increase cancer and mutation rates, "but not enormously," Melott said. "Still, if you increased the mutation rate, you might speed up evolution."
This radiation may also have affected Earth's climate, the study said. The team's simulations suggest that the increased flux of cosmic rays caused many of the atoms and molecules in the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere (known as the troposphere) to acquire a positive or negative charge.
This "tropospheric ionization" likely lasted for at least 1,000 years, the researchers said.
"It is possible that this could trigger climate change, especially if instability was already present," they wrote in the new study, which appears in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. (You can read it for free at the online preprint site arXiv.org here.)
The Pliocene-Pleistocene extinction was quite a minor one as far as these events go. Previous studies have suggested that a supernova would have to be quite close to Earth — within 25 light-years or so — to trigger a major mass extinction such as the one 65 million years ago that marked the end of the age of dinosaurs.
New Dwarf Planet Discovered Far Beyond Pluto's Orbit
New Dwarf Planet Discovered Far Beyond Pluto's Orbit
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
Pluto isn't quite as lonely as scientists had thought.
Astronomers have discovered another dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, the ring of icy objects beyond Neptune. But this newfound world, dubbed 2015 RR245, is much more distant than Pluto, orbiting the sun once every 700 Earth years, scientists said. (Pluto completes one lap around the sun every 248 Earth years.) You can see an animation of the new dwarf planet's orbit here.
"The icy worlds beyond Neptune trace how the giant planets formed and then moved out from the sun," discovery team member Michele Bannister, of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, said in a statement. "They let us piece together the history of our solar system." [Meet the Solar System's Dwarf Planets]
"But almost all of these icy worlds are painfully small and faint; it's really exciting to find one that's large and bright enough that we can study it in detail," Bannister added.

The exact size of 2015 RR245 is not yet known, but the researchers think it's about 435 miles (700 kilometers) wide. Pluto is the largest resident of the Kuiper Belt, with a diameter of 1,474 miles (2,371 km).
The research team first spotted 2015 RR245 in February of this year, while poring over images that the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii took in September 2015 as part of the ongoing Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS).
"There it was on the screen — this dot of light moving so slowly that it had to be at least twice as far as Neptune from the sun," Bannister said.
OSSOS has discovered more than 500 objects beyond Neptune's orbit, but 2015 RR245 is the first dwarf planet that the survey has found, the scientists said.

Dwarf planets are massive enough to be crushed into spheres by their own gravity, but they have not "cleared their neighborhood" of other objects, which differentiates them from "normal" planets such as Earth and Saturn. This definition, which was devised by the International Astronomical Union in 2006, led to Pluto's controversial reclassification as a dwarf planet.
Astronomers are still working out the details of 2015 RR245's highly elliptical orbit, but the object appears to come as close to the sun as 34 astronomical units (AU), and farther away than 120 AU. (One AU is the average Earth-sun distance — about 93 million miles, or 150 million km.)
2015 RR245 — which will get a catchier, official name at some point — will make its closest approach to the sun in 2096, the researchers said.
Other confirmed dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt region include Pluto, Eris, Haumea and Makemake. Several other objects in this distant realm, including Sedna, Quaoar and 2007 OR10, probably meet the dwarf-planet criteria as well, scientists have said.

For spacecraft that zoom through the cosmos at thousands of miles per hour, calculating which one is traveling the fastest is more complicated than simply clocking the first to cross a finish line.
When space agencies calculate and establish speed records, these numbers need to be defined and qualified, because there can be more than one frame of reference. In other words, the speed of a spacecraft can be calculated relative to the Earth, the sun or some other body.
And as these spacecraft move further away from Earth, it gets trickier to use traditional methods of measurement. This is especially true for metrics such as time; for example, a day on Mars is a different length than a day on Earth. As humans' framework for time breaks down, speed (which is a measurement of distance over time) also becomes relative. [Supersonic! The 11 Fastest Military Airplanes]
When trying to suss out which of the many objects hurtling through space is moving the fastest, there are a few things to consider. To start, it's important to determine which celestial body you'll use as a reference point when calculating velocity. If you're trying to simply measure the speed of a car, Earth works perfectly fine as a reference point, but as you venture out into the cosmos, it makes more sense to use a larger frame of reference. Calculating an object's heliocentric, or sun-relative, velocity then becomes more common.
What's more, once a spacecraft makes it out of Earth's atmosphere, the vessel doesn't always maintain a constant speed. Launch velocities are different from cruise velocities (just like on an airplane), and according to NASA, planetary interactions can cause an object to change speed as well.
For example, a spacecraft can increase its velocity in space by performing a flyby of a planet (or other celestial body, such as a moon), using that planet's gravitational force to speed up or propel the spacecraft out further into the cosmos, NASA said. Essentially, the planet or moon provides a gravitational slingshot. Imagine throwing a tennis ball at an oncoming train: The momentum from the train transfers to the ball, and the ball's velocity increases.
After a five-year jaunt through space, NASA's robotic Juno spacecraft arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016, and the gas giant's impressive gravity accelerated the probe to approximately 165,000 mph (265,000 km/h) relative to Earth. This made Juno the fastest-moving human-made object in history.
In terms of pure heliocentric velocity, NASA's Helios I and Helios II probes previously held the record at 157,000 mph (253,000 km/h) as they passed by the sun. These probes were launched in 1974 and 1976, to study solar processes.
The record for fastest launch velocity belongs to the New Horizons probe, which lifted off in 2006 on a mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. This 1,054-lb. (478 kilograms), piano-size spacecraft sped away from the Earth at a blistering pace of 36,000 mph (almost 58,000 km/h).
New Horizons' escape speed from Earth beat the previous record of 32,400 mph (about 52,000 km/h), set when Pioneer 10 set out for Jupiter, in 1972.
And though Juno is currently the fastest human-made object, it remains to be seen how long the space probe can hold onto the impressive title.Solar Probe Plus, a NASA mission scheduled to launch in 2018, is designed to fly into the sun's atmosphere, making it the first probe to do so. Due to the enormity of Earth's nearest star, the probe is expected to reach orbital velocities as high as 450,000 mph (724,000 km/h). For perspective, at this speed, you could travel from the Earth to the moon in about 30 minutes.
For spacecraft that have re-entered Earth's atmosphere, the highest speed was set by the comet-catching Stardust spacecraft, which plunged back toward Earth at a speed of 29,000 mph (more than 46,600 km/h).

A pilot who disappeared nearly 40 years ago after reporting a UFO is one of the inspirations for the plot of the new television drama series The Kettering Incident.
While the show revolves around fictional mysterious disappearances in the Tasmanian bush, the disappearance of Frederick Valentich was very real.
Valentich was a 20-year-old pilot who went missing over Bass Strait in 1978, leaving nothing behind except a mysterious radio transmission.
Historian Reg Watson has been researching the disappearance for many years.
"I've looked at it for gosh, three decades," he told Leon Compton on 936 ABC Hobart.
"I have to say, in my opinion, he had an encounter with a UFO — and I don't say that lightly."
'It's not an aircraft'
Valentich went missing on the night of October 21, 1978.
Mr Watson said Valentich wanted to increase his flying hours and planned to fly from Moorabbin in Victoria to King Island.
He left Moorabbin at 6:19pm and made radio contact with air traffic control in Melbourne at 7:06pm.
"He asked if there was any sort of aircraft in the area," Mr Watson said.
Valentich was told there was "no known traffic".
He went on to report a large unknown aircraft had flown over the top of him and added: "It seems to be playing some sort of game. He's flying over me."
Valentich then said:
"It's not an aircraft."
The pilot continued to speak with air traffic control in Melbourne about the craft until 7:12pm and that was the last anyone heard from him.
Mr Watson said authorities searched for Valentich for four days but nothing was ever found.
Theories around disappearance
There are some theories that Valentich staged his disappearance due to some discrepancies in his plans that night.
"There is some mystery about Frederick going to King Island," Mr Watson said.
"His father told me he was 40 minutes late [setting off] to King Island.
"He put his flight plan into Moorabbin but he never told King Island flight service that he was coming, therefore they never had the lights on at the airport.
"This has given rise to two assumptions: one, that he planned his own mysterious departure; or two, that he was a suicide."
Mr Watson said he had spoken to Valentich's family and friends and he did not believe the young man intended to disappear that night.
"Frederick was a well-adjusted young man," he said.
"He had a girlfriend, there was no problem there, he wasn't suffering from depression and he got on well with the family."
1978 UFO sightings — 'The biggest flap in Australia'
The documents around Valentich's disappearance were released to the public in 2012 and Mr Watson said these backed up his belief it was a UFO that caused the disappearance.
"All I know, in the broad terms of a UFO, an unidentified flying object ... that caused his demise," he said.
"For two months prior [to October 21] lights in the sky, cigar-shaped objects, were seen from King Island.
"And I've spoken to witnesses on the north-west coast [of Tasmania] who actually saw a craft on the day 15 minutes before he went missing."
Mr Watson said there were numerous reports of UFO sightings in 1978.
"It's been called the biggest flap in Australia's history," he said.
"Sightings were seen, not only from Tasmania, they were seen as far away as South Australia, right through the coast of Western Australia, even up to the coast of NSW."
A coronial inquiry into the disappearance in 1982 returned an open verdict with Valentich listed as missing, presumed dead.
His family erected a memorial plaque on Cape Otway in 1998 which was unveiled by Steve Roby, the air traffic controller that night in 1978 and the last person to speak with Valentich.

Astronomers Discover a New Dwarf Planet in Our Solar System
Astronomers Discover a New Dwarf Planet in Our Solar System

IN BRIEF
Researchers discovered a new dwarf planet outside the Solar System. Around 700 km in diameter, it is considered the 18th largest object in the Kuiper Belt.
NEW DWARF PLANET
Another Pluto-like dwarf planet was discovered by astronomers. The dwarf planet, located about 20 times farther from the sun than Neptune, has a diameter of around 700 kilometers (435 miles), revolves in an elliptical orbit around the sun for 700 Earth-years and is called 2015 RR245.
On the year 2096, it will be closest to the sun at about 5 billion km (3.1 billion mi) and its farthest distance from the sun is at about 12 billion km (7.5 mi).
The dwarf planet was discovered by a team of astronomers using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) in Maunakea, Hawaii. They took images last September 2015 which were analyzed this February. The discovery was announced on Monday in the Minor Planet Electronic Circular.
RR245 is described as the 18th largest object in the Kuiper Belt. Discovered in 1992, the Kuiper Belt is located 30 AU from the sun. Some objects included in this belt are Pluto, Makemake and Varuna. It contains icy bodies with sizes ranging from small chunks to more than a hundred kilometers across.

According to CFHT, “RR245 is one of the few dwarf planets that has survived to the present day — along with Pluto and Eris, the largest known dwarf planets.” Majority of the dwarf planets were destroyed or were forced to move away from the sun as the giant planets settled into their current positions.
The Outer Solar System Origins Survey team will get the naming rights to the planet for their discovery. As soon as the precise orbit of the planet is identified, the planet will get its official name. Meanwhile, observations on the dwarf planet will continue.

Watch: ISS Feed Censors UFO Coming to Earth?
Watch: ISS Feed Censors UFO Coming to Earth?
A tantalizing new piece of footage from the ISS live feed sees an anomalous glowing object seemingly about to enter Earth's atmosphere before the broadcast abruptly stops.
The object itself is not particularly noteworthy and appears as simply a glowing dot slowly descending towards the planet.
What raised eyebrows among UFO enthusiasts was the incredible but all-too-familiar ending to the footage.
After an almost agonizingly long wait for the object to reach the Earth's atmosphere, the feed suddenly stops and a technical difficulties message appears just as it is about to unfold.
The 'coincidental' timing, coupled with the increasing number of times such a turn of events has occurred inrecent years, adds fuel to the conspiracy theory that the 'powers that be' cut the ISS feed to censor UFOs.
Skeptics, of course, will note that the object in question is still just a glowing dot and could be anything from space debris to a meteor.
Some may recall that NASA denied any ISS UFO censorship conspiracy back in April, but, as we predicted, their statement has not put a stop to the continual barrage of videos allegedly showing the cover-up in action.
Coast Insiders looking for more insight into UFO captured on space footage can revisit the 9/17/2015 edition of the program when researcher Mark Peters discussed perhaps the most famous clip of all: the STS-48 video from Space Shuttle Discovery.
De Amerikaanse sonde Juno heeft sinds zijn aankomst in een baan rond de planeet Jupiter zijn eerste foto naar aarde verzonden. Dat maakte de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA dinsdag bekend.
Op het beeldmateriaal is een deel van Jupiter te zien en drie van zijn vier grootste manen: Io, Europa en Ganymedes. In augustus komt de sonde dichterbij de gasreus om betere foto's te kunnen nemen.
Polen Een hoofdonderzoeker van NASA is in ieder geval tevreden dat de apparatuur aan boord van de sonde de reis heeft overleefd. Hij zegt vooral nieuwsgierig te zijn naar beeldmateriaal van de polen van Jupiter.
Atmosfeer De Juno werd in 2011 gelanceerd en kwam vorige week in een baan rond Jupiter, na een reis van 3 miljard kilometer. De sonde moet onder meer de atmosfeer van de planeet in kaart brengen. Wetenschappers willen bijvoorbeeld weten hoeveel water Jupiter heeft.
Een internationaal team van astronomen heeft bewijzen gevonden voor het bestaan van een zogeheten zwaartekrachtskolk rond een zwart gat in de ruimte. De ontdekking maakt het mogelijk theorieën over de zwaartekracht te testen, meldt de Universiteit van Amsterdam.
In de jaren tachtig ontdekten astronomen dat röntgenstraling van zwarte gaten kunnen flikkeren. Eerst gebeurt dat flikkeren ongeveer om de tien seconden. In de dagen, weken en maanden daarna gaat het flikkeren steeds sneller tot zo'n tien keer per seconde. Vervolgens stopt het flikkeren.
Een draaiend object zou een soort zwaartekrachtskolk kunnen creëren, te vergelijken met het ronddraaien van een lepel in een honingpot. De honing is dan de ruimte, de lepel het zwarte gat. Alles in de omgeving wordt meegesleurd door de kolk, zeggen de onderzoekers.

VIDEO: “NASA onderbreekt livestream ISS op moment dat mysterieuze UFO aardatmosfeer binnengaat”
VIDEO: “NASA onderbreekt livestream ISS op moment dat mysterieuze UFO aardatmosfeer binnengaat”
UFO-jagers hebben aan de bel getrokken nadat de livestream van het internationale ruimtestation ISS werd onderbroken op het moment dat een groot mysterieus object de aardatmosfeer leek binnen te gaan.
Het incident deed zich voor op 9 juli en werd gemeld door YouTube-gebruiker Streetcap1, schrijft de Britse Daily Mirror. Hoewel het volgens hem niet gelijk om een buitenaards ruimteschip hoeft te gaan, vindt hij het wel vreemd dat de camera werd uitgezet.
“Wat het interessant maakt is het feit dat het beeld op zwart ging op het moment dat de UFO leek te stoppen,” schreef hij. Sommigen denken dat het object het Chinese ruimtestation Tiangong 1 is.
“Ik volg het ISS al zes jaar en ik kan met zekerheid zeggen dat dit niet de maan of een meteoor is,” ging hij verder. “Mogelijk gaat het om het Chinese ruimtestation Tiangong 1.”
Het is niet de eerste keer dat NASA ervan wordt beschuldigd de uitzending te onderbreken nadat een mysterieuze UFO in beeld verschijnt tijdens een livestream van het ISS. In april ontkende een woordvoerder van de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie dat technici het beeld bewust op zwart zetten als er UFO’s in beeld komen.
FBI-document bevat informatie over lichamen van aliens, ruimteschepen en planeet
FBI-document bevat informatie over lichamen van aliens, ruimteschepen en planeet
Steeds meer Amerikanen willen dat hun overheid openheid van zaken geeft over vliegende schotels. Het hoofd van Hillary Clintons verkiezingscampagne, John Podesta, zei op CNN dat de Amerikaanse overheid vragen over UFO’s beter moet beantwoorden.
In februari vorig jaar, toen hij nog topadviseur van president Obama was, twitterde hij: “Mijn grootste mislukking van 2014: er wederom niet in geslaagd om de UFO-documenten openbaar te maken.”
Clinton liet in januari ook al weten dat ze geruchten over contact tussen de Verenigde Staten en buitenaards leven ‘tot op de bodem’ wil uitzoeken. Podesta bevestigde dat Clinton, indien ze in november wordt verkozen tot president, zoveel mogelijk documenten over Area 51 openbaar zal laten maken. “En ik denk dat dat een belofte is die ze zal houden,” zei hij.
Erg geïnteresseerd
Het Witte Huis houdt vol dat het geen informatie over dit onderwerp heeft. Toch hebben de FBI, CIA en NSA verschillende geheime UFO-stukken vrijgegeven, wat erop wijst dat men erg geïnteresseerd is in dit fenomeen.
In het FBI-archief The Vault is een buitengewoon interessant document te vinden. Het document, dathier (pagina’s 21 en 22) kan worden gevonden, is gericht aan ‘bepaalde vooraanstaande wetenschappers, militaire autoriteiten en een aantal ambtenaren’.
Het gaat om een brief over buitenaardsen en UFO’s die naar de directeur van de FBI in Washington is gestuurd: “Luitenant-kolonel [zwart gemaakt] van G2 (militaire inlichtingen) in San Francisco liet vandaag weten dat hij geen verdere informatie heeft en dat ons kantoor in Seattle beschikt over alle informatie die bij hem bekend is en de zaak verder afhandelt in Tacoma, Washington.”
Het document bevat een kopie van een brief die is geschreven door ‘een voormalig decaan’ met verschillende ‘universitaire diploma’s’.
Een deel van de schijven bemand is, terwijl andere op afstand worden bestuurd
Ze in vrede komen en overwegen zich op deze planeet te vestigen
De bezoekers lijken op mensen, maar veel langer zijn
Ze van een andere wereld komen
De schijven een bepaald soort energie uitzenden
Ze niet van een ‘planeet’ komen, maar een etherische planeet die de aarde overlapt en voor ons niet zichtbaar is
De lichamen van de bezoekers en schepen automatisch materialiseren als ze zich aanpassen aan het trillingsgetal van ons dichte materie
Ze wanneer ze maar willen kunnen terugkeren naar de etherische wereld en zonder spoor in het niets verdwijnen
Ze niet uit de astrale sfeer afkomstig zijn, maar de Lakas of Talas (mensen die bekend zijn met esoterische zaken zullen dit begrijpen)
Dit is slechts één van de vele documenten die zijn vrijgegeven. Diverse vragen blijven echter nog onbeantwoord. Gaat het hier bijvoorbeeld om meer dan één ras? En zijn ze fysiek of extradimensionaal?
Dr. Edgar Mitchell, de zesde man op de maan, zei ooit: “Ja, er zijn schepen neergestort en lichamen geborgen. We zijn niet alleen in het universum, ze bezoeken de aarde al een lange tijd.”
Klokkenluider: “Ik zag constructies op de achterkant van de maan”
Klokkenluider: “Ik zag constructies op de achterkant van de maan”
Sergeant Karl Wolfe werkte in 1965 aan het Lunar Orbiterprogramma. Hij vertelt constructies te hebben gezien op de maan en bases op de achterkant van de maan. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
Wolfe zegt in juni of juli 1965 de opdracht te hebben gekregen om op de luchtmachtbasis Langley een probleem met de fotoafdrukapparatuur te verhelpen. Hij werd naar een grote hangar geleid, waar de NSA foto’s analyseerde die waren gemaakt door de Lunar Orbiter.
In de donkere kamer was een man aanwezig die Wolfe vertelde dat er een basis op de achterkant van de maan was ontdekt. Hij liet opnames zien van hoge torens en ronde gebouwen op het maanoppervlak.
Intelligente wezens
“Het waren constructies die zeker niet waren ontstaan als gevolg van een meteorietinslag of botsing met een hemellichaam,” aldus Wolfe. “Ze waren gebouwd door intelligente wezens.”
Het meest opvallende vond Wolfe de radarantennes op de foto’s. Ze deden hem erg denken aan antennes die op aarde staan. Hij vroeg zich in eerste instantie af of Rusland ze misschien had neergezet.
Buiten publieke domein gehouden
De Washington Times schreef eerder over hem: “Karl Wolfe, een sergeant die voor de NSA werkte, zei dat op de achterkant van de maan mysterieuze structuren waren aangetroffen toen het maanoppervlak voor de maanlanding in 1969 in kaart werd gebracht. De foto’s werden buiten het publieke domein gehouden.”
Het Lunar Orbiterprogramma bestond uit vijf onbemande ruimteschepen die in 1966 en 1967 werden gelanceerd en die de maan in kaart brachten, mede als voorbereiding op het Apolloprogramma. Ze maakten de eerste foto’s vanuit een baan om de maan. Deze foto’s werden onder meer gebruikt om geschikte landingsplekken te selecteren.

Arkansas witness details low flying UFO
Arkansas witness details low flying UFO
An Arkansas witness at Lonsdale reported watching a low flying object with bright lights and windows that could not be identified, according to testimony in Case 77398 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was westbound along Highway 70 riding a motorcycle about one-half mile past the 70 and 128 junction at 10 p.m. on July 2, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“The night was warm, weather was dry and clear with very good visibility,” the witness stated.“The road was three lanes wide with approximately40 yards from tree line to tree line. Tree height is 30 to 40 feet. I first noticed flashing lights just entering my view above the tree line to the north of my line of sight. The object appeared to be traveling diagonally across my line of sight to the southwest. It appeared to be at approximately 60 to 70 degrees above the ground.”
The witness first assumed the object was a low flying, small aircraft.

“However, I quickly realized the ‘navigation lights’ were unlike anything I had ever seen on any aircraft. My next thought was that due to its apparent low speed and height (my impression) that it could be a blimp. However, it didn’t have a traditional navigation light pattern.”
The witness described the object.
“It had a flashing white light at the back with a second flashing white light slightly below the first. A row of sequentially strobing white light along the (what I took to be) underside with a single red light at the front. Above the bottom lights was a single row of six, square, hard edged ‘windows’ that emitted a bright, white light. This all seemed to be attached to a solid structure of a light blue/gray/silver color. I could not see any other hard edges, however I got the impression that the ‘windows’ or ‘light panels’ were attached to a V-shaped “hull.” I could only see the side facing me, but it seemed that there was a glow from where the other side would be, so one might assume that it was symmetrical. Once or twice when the uppermost rear light flashed, I thought I saw some structure above the light, but I am unsure of that. There were no other lights above the ‘windows’ or anywhere else other than the one I describe.”
The witness described the lights and their flashing order.

“The first light in the sequence was the uppermost rear white light followed by the lower rear white light (these two were the largest and brightest of the flashing lights). The two rear lights seem to have the longest duration and gap between them. After the lower light flashed, a row of eight to 10, sequentially flashing, white light flashed from the rear lower, large light to the front (direction of travel). These lights were fast (maybe a half second, rear to front), smaller and less intense than the two rear most lights. At the end of this sequence, at the front most point, the last light to flash was red. After a short (half second) pause, the pattern would repeat. The ‘windows’ or ‘light panels’ maintained a steady bright glow. The light was a very bright white with a blueish tinge. They appeared to be the same size and distance apart, taking up approximately one-third of the visible structure.”
The object stayed in view for approximately one minute before its travel and the height of the surrounding trees blocked its view from the witness.
“The road turned more southerly and I re-acquired the object in my view for approximately 10 to 20 seconds and then intermittently through the trees for a short while. It appeared to stay on the same course and height for as long as I had it in my view. If I extended my arm and turned my hand horizontal, I could have covered the object with my thumb, from the tip to midway past the first joint. This is an approximation as I was not able to do this at the time. My only feelings were of curiosity as to what the object was.”

The witness also provided information on himself.
“I was clearheaded. I had not consumed any drugs or alcohol. I don’t do drugs legal or otherwise (I’m allergic to most narcotic pain killers). I am not on any psychotropic medications (nor do I have reason to believe I should be) and rarely drink. My only thoughts at the time I first saw the object were of getting home and enjoying the ride as the evening cooled off. I live in a relatively high aircraft traffic zone and have seen navigation lights from all angles, heights and on many types of aircraft. I have seen drones of various sizes. I have seen blimps in daytime and I have seen them at night at sporting events, however, I have never seen one operating at night in a rural area. The object I saw falls outside of my personal experience, and searching online I was unable to find any aircraft with lights of this type, including blimps and the Virgin lightships. I am a rationalist and a firm believer in Occam’s razor. I enjoy debunking other people’s misidentifications and wild conclusions. I would be quite happy to have you identify this as a blimp, if, in fact that’s what this was.”

The witness was outside on July 2, 2016, searching for UFOs.
“I was asking in my head for the beings to show themselves to me,” the witness stated.“Looks like I was answered because as I was taking photos of the last light of the day, I caught an anomaly or entity in one of my photos that I only noticed the next day.”

This alien structure was found by Streetcap1 of Youtube. He seems to have found an alien city within Tycho crater and is pumping out building by building. Each structure is very amazing. I added some darkness to make the edges of this building come into focus. Its obvious that this is not just a rock. That this is an incredibly massive structure among a city on Earth moon. Wow, not often we get to see them so close up and so focused. Hats off to Streetcap1 for this great find. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Check out this UFO over a ship in Canada last month. It made the Oshawa news today and its more evidence that UFOs are seen as frequently over the water as over the land. If a UFO can be air tight in space, then is should also work similarly underwater. In this photo the disk looks like its over the ship, but the ship is focused, and the UFO is blurry, so I believer the UFO is further away, far behind the ship.
News states: OSHAWA - Daniel Koostachin said he had a bad feeling, like he was about to enter a haunted house when he showed up to the gates at the Oshawa Harbour on June 22 around 9:30 a.m., alone to pick up some metal rebar for a company he drives transport truck for. “I felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden,” said the Newmarket resident. “It felt like someone was watching me.” Mr. Koostachin said he checked his surroundings, looking left then right and that’s when he saw “the object” hovering over the waters of Lake Ontario. He managed to snap a couple of photos with his camera before “it took off into the sky. “After I saw it, I couldn’t sleep for two days. I had mixed feelings inside me,” he explained. “I felt dreadful.” Mr. Koostachin described what he saw as a black object that was a disc shape. “There were no lights, no sounds, no nothing,” he said. “That UFO was far from the harbour. It was far in distance.” He said he has always been a believer that UFOs exist and thinks he has seen them before but this time was different. “I’ve never been close enough to see it and get proof. I was hoping it’d take me but it didn’t that day,” he joked. “Hopefully the Men in Black don’t show up at my door.”
UFO Expert Gaurav Tiwari Dies In Mysterious Conditions In Delhi, India July 2016, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Expert Gaurav Tiwari Dies In Mysterious Conditions In Delhi, India July 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of death: July 2016 News source:
http://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/art-and-culture/the-ghost-busters-death-of-gaurav-tiwari-delhi-based-indian-paranormal-society-2909971/ Many UFO researchers over the past few decades were murdered by government people trying to cover up the truth. I thought it had stopped about 15 years ago, but now it seems to be starting again, but in India. This UFO and ghost researcher was killed and it was made to look like a suicide. I don't believe it because if you read up on the deaths of past UFO researchers, there are three main ways they were killed. 1st was made to look like suicide. 2nd made to look like a robbery. 3rd was radioactive poisoning, invisible, but makes you come down with cancer in just a week or less. Scary stuff guys, so to all UFO researches in India, please be careful, and keep an eye out. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: The death of Gaurav Tiwari, the CEO of Delhi-based Indian Paranormal Society, has turned the spotlight on an eccentric clan of ghostbusters that has, in the past decade, turned into an underground phenomenon. “Many of us were inspired by his work, and found our way to the field through him,” says Rahul Kumar, 28, a Bangalore-based paranormal investigator, who is dentist by the day. “Paranormal investigations are not uncommon, it has been around for over 80 years in India and abroad,” says Kumar, whose interest in paranormal forces began in 2008. “However, in the past few years interest in the field has increased. We get calls from students, IT professionals, even doctors and scientists, who are influenced by what they see and believe some things go beyond science,” he adds. But, he says, they have to look out for the majority bogus cases or incidents of psychological disturbances, and it is only one percent of the time where they cannot explain what is going on. “We investigate the property, interview the owners, and learn the history of the place. We rule out illnesses, psychological problems or drug abuse that might be the cause; sometimes, we stay the night and set up devices to pick up on any activity,” explains Rahul. The devices used are scientific and sophisticated. While many question the credibility of the devices, and the validity of parascience, the popularity of ghosts and spirits is undeniable. Delhi By Foot organises a “Night Walk” in the Capital where guests set out to explore places like Sanjay Van around twilight and discuss personal experiences of ghosts and spirits. Kolkata, however, has the more boldly titled “Ghost Walk”, but Anthony Ahatchaturian, who organises it, is surprisingly cynical about the supernatural. “For me, the ghost walks are a foolproof way of showcasing the city’s heritage. The spooky element gains instant attention,” says Ahatchaturian. “There was an incident that happened during one of our walks in Garstin Place that housed the old AIR office. Apparently, when it was functional, during the break between radio broadcasts, a British pianist would play Beethoven and Mozart. However, years after the office shifted to a different place, people who walked by the building at night claimed that they could hear music. During my walking tours, on two separate occasions, my guests insisted that they heard music in that very spot,” he says. Though Ahatchaturian doesn’t believe in ghosts, one prospect really scares him. “If, by any chance, one of my guests gets really spooked out and gets a heart attack, that will be the end of it. I am scared of the legal backlash,” he says.

Date of sighting: July 12, 2016 Location of sighting: Memphis, Tennessee, USA News Source: MUFON report #77636 This is interesting. A group of metallic orbs was seen coming out of a cloud and was near a plane flying past. Perhaps the orbs were hiding and waiting for planes, so they could scan the technology. My favorite part of the eyewitness description is that he noticed the orbs come out of the cloud before he took the photo. Excellent. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: I was at work when I took this photo. I work in Memphis,Tn. The warehouse is only maybe 5 miles from Memphis international Airport. I was on my lunch break from 1230 to 1 o'clock Pm. I Saw a large military cargo plane ( the kind that drops tanks out of the back with parachutes attached) taking off from the airport heading south, then turned to head east as it was taking off. The plane made a small maneuver, ( I thought to myself that the huge plane shouldn't try that at such a slow speed.) as the metallic orbs appeared out of the small clouds. I grabbed my phone to try and capture both the plane and the orbs closer together.The military plane can still be seen very well by zooming in. I stopped looking at the orbs to check the photo for both plane and orbs,GOT THEM BOTH, when I looked back to the sky I didnt see the orbs any more. Also there appears to be a bird flying close to one of the orbs. I Am including a screenshot of the details from the photo along with the photo, and map of where I work showing the airport. Enjoy. Also I have seen Chinook helicopters flying in groups of three for the past few days, just throwing that in there.

UFO Over New York City World Trade Center By Tourist On May 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:May 19, 2016, but reported July 2016 Location of sighting: New York City, USA Source: MUFON #77629 Here's an interesting UFO over the World Trade Center. This UFO is unusual because it seems to have two tails, and it has a rocket like shape to it. The fact that this is over the World Trade Center shows me that aliens have a lot of interest not just in the old building, but also in the new buildings that have symbolic meaning to the country. If you go to a cultural location that has a special meaning to people, look up once in a while, you might get lucky and see a UFO. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: First of all sorry for my English writing. We were visiting WTC groundzero with my wife. I was capturing continously without focusing a spesific object. I captured many photos. In one minute I captured 3 photos consecutively. After holiday while I and my wife viewing photos we found an unknown object and it was flying above. We didn't detect it with naked eyes when we were visiting WTC. I don't belive that US Goverment lets an ordinary vechile to fly above WTC. Maybe this is an undetected vechile or it was a Made in USA UFO. In photo 1 there are colorful circles. In Photo 2 that circles are replacing and an UFO appears suddenly. In photo 3 there is no light no UFO. I want professionals to analyze the images and I am so curious about results. I was not a believer but I was ready to believe. Now I wantto believe!

Here’s one interesting footage of an unknown craft hovering in the sky above Cumberland in Maine. This was taken on 4th July 2016. What do you think about this video? Please leave your comments below!
Witness report:
1. I was in my home with my wife and teenage son. We all saw the object high in the sky and we filmed the object using 60x HD camcorder.
2. My wife looked out the window and saw an object with bright light high in the sky.
3. We thought the object could be a sophisticate, large drone, possibly military. However when we reviewed the video at the end frame by frame it appears to spin and then disappear.
4. The object hovered stationary for several minutes. Using my HD video camera zoomed in at 60x I could see an A fram shape for each structure, a red and green light in the middle, and 3 bright white lights on top. It began spinning and then disappeared as shown frame by frame on the video. It returned a few minutes later in the same location but facing a different direction. It hovered stationary again and then disappeared. The video zoom did not resolve well but the object appeared to change color all at once to red before it disappeared.
5. We were excited to see the object even if it turns out to be just a drone. My wife posted the video clip to her facebook account and friends were shocked. Some said it was just a drone, but other did not.
6. We lost sight of the object because it disappeared. Please see the video clip as it is all there. I have 4 videos total but have processed only 1 to remove the audio and clip just the best section to reduce file size. The sequence of the video is continuous and has not been modified. Please contact me if you think this is a UFO or just a drone.
History Reveals Six Famous Extraterrestrial Sightings
History Reveals Six Famous Extraterrestrial Sightings
Today, UFO sightings are increasing. In fact, countless have been reported to authorities different strange object passing each month. However, what is the truth about aliens? Before digging deeper to the explanations, it is important to acknowledge the history behind the strange objects.
Here Are the Most Radically Influential Encounters In Human History:
74 BC: Ancient Romans Spotted A Strange Flying Wine Jar According to Plutarch’s records, the strange object appears apparently gigantic, made of flame, silver-colored, and has a shape like a wine jar. This happened during a battle in Phrygia (in what is now Turkey).
Nuremberg, Germany
1561: Flying Objects Battled Over Nuremberg The people residing in Nuremberg since 1561 have been seeing some interstellar battle in the sky. According to a broadsheet publisher, the inhabitants were bewildered seeing what appeared to be flying crosses, cannons, spheres and objects of similar nature having some massive clash every morning. It is worth mentioning, however, that the broadsheets during that time are not reliable sources because they reported that an English woman gave birth to rabbits.

Alien Gravesite in Aurora Cemetery
1897: An Alien Air vessel Crashes In Texas Due to this sighting, it appears that Americans were already interested in extraterrestrial life as early as the 19th century because the Aurora story was published in Texas newspapers during that time. One Aurora resident decided to write about the encounter stating that an aircraft had crashed, killing the pilot who was then buried in the local cemetery.

The 1940s: Foo Fighters Confuse The Military This refers not to a band, but to the UFO visitors. However, the band was named after these peculiar visitors, who was spotted by military personnel to have interfered in aerial battles in several theaters during WWII.
Battle of Los Angeles
1942: The Los Angeles Battle Shocks The West Coast In one of the strangest episodes in America’s relationship with the aliens on February 24, 1942, the city got into battle when these strange objects were rumored to be flying and running around overhead. Read more: Battle of Los Angeles, 1942
1947: A Strange Object Crashes In Roswell Roswell is the most notorious encounter in American alien history. A strange aircraft crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, and what happened afterward is the birth of alien myth-making ever since. Whether you are a believer of alien phenomena from other planets or not, it seems more likely that encounters can be explained by weird natural phenomena, military testing, or just people being credulous.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the most documented UFO case in Australian history – the April 6, 1966, sighting of a flying saucer by over 200 witnesses, who saw it fly overhead for several minutes before briefly landing and taking off again near two schools in the Melbourne suburb of Westall.
The Westall UFO case has been the subject of several Australian news reports anddocumentaries, which have tried to find answers to the mystery of what precisely had landed. Recent whistleblower testimonies provide a compelling answer – the flying saucer was part a secret Australian aerospace program involving the development of antigravity technology in cooperation with the U.S. and Great Britain.
There have long been unconfirmed reports that the US, along with the United Kingdom, began developing a secret space program with the assistance of Nazi scientists extracted from Germany soon after the end of World War II. Early Nazi flying saucer prototypes called “Vril” were allegedly secretly removed from Germany and shared equally by the US and Britain as required by wartime agreements.
These technology exchange agreements date back to Britain’s “Tizard Mission” where a delegation of British scientists led by Henry Tizard traveled to the U.S. in September 1940, and shared British technologies in advance of an expected Nazi German invasion of Britain.
What is undisputed fact is that 1500 leading Nazi aerospace scientists were extracted to the USA under Project Paperclip, and hundreds of others were evacuated to the United Kingdom by an elite military group called T-Force which forcibly abducted them when necessary.
The former Nazi scientists were put to work in U.S. and British laboratories to develop a new generation of rockets based on the V-2, which were ultimately used to establish nuclear ballistic missiles and also the NASA space program.
Other Nazi scientists were allegedly secretly assigned to develop antigravity space craft using principles of high energy plasma and high voltage electrostatic charges.
High energy plasma, which would circulate around a highly conductive ring at very high revolutions per minute, was a speciality field of one of the Nazi scientists brought to the U.S. by Project Paperclip. Professor Winfried Otto Schumann. He was allegedly involved in developing the first Vril flying saucers in the 1920’s and 1930’s.

Schumann’s name appears on the list of scientists requested by the US Army Air Force (predecessor to the US Air Force established in September 1947) back in 1946, which suggests that his speciality was important for highly classified aerospace projects being studied at the highly classified Dayton, Ohio, aerospace facility.
The first documented reference to electrostatics as a means of antigravity propulsion (electrogravitics) can be found in a 1928 British patent by Thomas Townsend Brown for an electrogravitic device called a gravitator. This has come to be called the Biefeld-Brown Effect, and was incorporated in a 1952 bid by Brown to the U.S. Navy to build a fleet of flying saucer craft called Project Winterhaven.
According to official records, Project Winterhaven was turned down by the U.S. Navy and a subsequent attempt by Brown to fund it through a non-profit foundation resulted in failure. In December 2015, William Tompkins, a retired aerospace engineer came forward to reveal that the U.S. Navy had secretly funded the development of flying saucer craft after all.
According to Tompkins, this was done by the Navy approaching private aerospace contractors such as Douglas Aircraft Company, to design and eventually build an assortment of antigravity vehicles.
Tompkins, revealed that while he worked at Douglas’ Advanced Design (1951-1963), he was responsible for submitting designs for kilometer long space craft using antigravity technologies, to the U.S. Navy in “unsolicited bids.” These early designs were used for constructing U.S. Navy space battlegroups which began deployment in 1984, as the Solar Warden Space Program.
The U.S. antigravity space program involved leading think tanks and aerospace companies such as Douglas Aircraft Company and the RAND Corporation, which was an off-shoot of Douglas. At the time, Douglas was the leading U.S. manufacturer of advanced military aircraft, and had created a classified think tank called Advanced Design, which was split off to form RAND, according to Tompkins.
Tompkins said that he was directly involved in a covert Navy intelligence program, which had discovered during World War II that up to 30 different flying saucer prototypes had been developed by the Nazis. These Nazi prototypes, or designs for them, were closely studied in U.S. and British laboratories after the war.

Further, Tompkins states that he worked under two senior scientists at Douglas, Dr. William Klemperer and Elmer Wheaton, who were actively researching antigravity principles and UFOs. Wheaton left Douglas in 1962 to take charge of similar projects tain and the U.S.
In Australia, the Aeronautical Research Laboratories (1949-1994) was actively involved in classified antigravity research, according to a research physicist, Stan Deyo. Deyo has revealed that when he traveled to Melbourne, Australia in May 1972, he was given a letter of introduction to the head of Aeronautical Research Laboratories, located at Fishermans Bend, where Deyo could continue the antigravity research he had earlier begun in the U.S.at Lockeheed’s Skunkworks. Tompkins has supplied a document (on right) that confirms that his superiors were working on antigravity in the 1950’s, as he claimed.
Similar antigravity research was underway in Great Britain involving think tanks and leading aerospace companies. In 1956, a London based organization called “Gravity Rand” published a scientific discussion paper called “The Gravitics Situation,” which revealed the extensive research being conducted by leading aerospace scientists in Britain.
The U.S. and Britain were not alone in researching or developing antigravity technologies. In 1956, Interavia Magazine reported: “There are gravity research projects in every major country of the world. A few are over 30 years old.” Among these countries was Australia, a staunch ally of both Bri
Click image to enlarge
The letter was written by Dr. James B. Maxfield, a Texas radiologist, who was recommending Deyo as someone familiar with antigravity research, who could help the Aeronautical Research Laboratories in its own program. According to Maxfield’s letter, first released in Deyo’s book, The Cosmic Conspiracy, Maxfield had an interest, as did the father of the Hydrogen Bomb, Dr. Edward Teller, in the field of antigravity.
According to Deyo, Teller headed the antigravity research program in the U.S., and was actively assisting major allies such as Australia and the UK in their own respective programs. Deyo provided a second letter from Dr. Maxfield, discussing a planned future visit by Teller to Melbourne, which was part of a secret U.S. and Australian cooperation on antigravity technology.
Support for Deyo’s claim is found in an article published in November 1955 by the New York Herald Tribune, which identified Teller’s leading role in U.S. antigravity research:
The initial steps of an almost incredible program to solve the secret of gravity and universal gravitation are being taken today in many of America’s top scientific laboratories and researcher centers… These include Dr Edward Teller of the University of California.
Deyo’s testimony is further supported by Bob Lazar, an innovative rocket propulsion engineer turned whistleblower, who says that it was Dr. Teller who recruited him to join a classified facility at Area 51 called S-4, where he witnessed nine antigravity spacecraft that were being secretly studied. According to a former CIA Agent, Kewper, who claims to have visited S-4 in 1958, four of the flying saucer craft were early German designs, two of which were called “Vril”.
Finally, in his autobiography, Memoirs: A Twentieth-Century Journey in Science and Politics, Teller confirms his friendship with Dr. James Maxfield who had contacts with some of Australia’s leading industrialists (p.496). This included Lang Hancock, a very wealthy Australian mining magnate who was Maxfield’s personal friend. Teller’s biography confirms the role Maxfield played in organizing at least two of Teller’s trips to Australia where he met with Hancock and other influential Australians.
During his May 1972 Melbourne visit, Deyo was surprised to learn how knowledgeable the Australian scientists were about antigravity principles, and even witnessed a prototype flying saucer craft at one of the Aeronautical Research Laboratories workshops at Fishermans Bend.
Tompkins and Deyo’s testimony, along with that of other whistleblowers, suggest that from the 1950’s, Australia closely worked with Great Britain and the U.S. in developing antigravity spacecraft, some of which resembled flying saucers. This establishes the possibility that the 1966 Westall incident was part of a classified antigravity vehicle test.
As the top graphic illustrates, Fishermans Bend is only 25 kilometers flying distance from the Westall area (now South Clayton), across Port Phillip Bay. Furthermore, it is only 30 kilometers across the Bay from Australia’s oldest aviation facility located at the RAAF Base Point Cook.
If Australia was testing antigravity vehicles, then either Fishermans Bend or Point Cook could have been used since both are adjacent to Port Phillip Bay where the craft could fly over a large body of water largely undetected.
Such a possibility is supported by some of the witnesses to the Westall incident who described camouflaged military personnel – thought to be American special forces – who quickly sanitized the flying saucer landing area. The rapid response of some of the military personnel – as little as 20 minutes according to witnesses – suggests the personnel were stationed nearby to monitor a test.
One Australian UFO researcher, Keith Basterfield, has found that a classified program called HIBAL involving high altitude balloons, was officially scheduled for a launch on April 5, 1966, one day before the Westall incident, but could have actually occurred on the same day. While he proposed Project HIBAL as a possible explanation for the Westall sighting itself, a more plausible answer is that it was a cover program for a more highly classified flying saucer program.
Leaked National Security Agency files by Edward Snowden confirm that the military intelligence community in the U.S. and its Echelon partners (Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand) will use a classified program as a cover for an even more highly classified program.
The flying saucer issue, as pointed out by Wilbert Smith, a former Senior Engineer with the Canadian Department of Transportation, were the most classified matter in the U.S. national security system. Consequently, a classified high altitude balloon program (HIBAL) would have been a very effective cover for a more highly classified Australian flying saucer program.

What now takes on special significance is the August 1966 visit to Australia by Teller, which he wrote about in Memoirs: A Twentieth-Century Journey in Science and Politics(p. 497). He refers to Dr. James Maxfield as having suggested the visit to him.
Given Maxfield’s two letters to Deyo in 1972, revealing Maxfield and Teller’s interest in antigravity research, this suggests that the 1966 visit also very likely involved antigravity research. Consequently, the April 6, 1966 Westall flying saucer incident can be linked to Teller’s first visit to Australia four months later, and was possibly a test of an antigravity flying saucer, where HIBAL was used as a cover program for national security reasons.
Finally, we have the not insignificant fact that Rear Admiral Rico Botta, identified by Tompkins as the U.S. Navy officer in command of a covert espionage program with 29 spies in Nazi Germany, learning about the development of antigravity spacecraft, was born and raised in the Australian city of Melbourne, before emigrating to the U.S. in 1908, at age 18.
The cooperation between the U.S., Britain and Australia in developing and testing of flying saucer craft using principles of antigravity, dating as far back as the 1950’s, provides a compelling explanation for some of the many UFO sightings in Australia. Among these, the 1966 Westall flying saucer incident stands out as one that likely has a very worldly explanation – the top secret cooperation between Australia, the U.S. and Britain in developing antigravity vehicles for a secret space program.

The Nikola Tesla Interview Hidden for 116 Years!
The Nikola Tesla Interview Hidden for 116 Years!
In 1899 Tesla gave this interview which has rarely ever been published for over 100 years. In it Tesla pulls no punches and reveals the great conspiracy of science that was well under way, the suppression of ether and the introduction of a new fake science to conceal it as well as to suppress the work of Tesla himself.
Once, in 1899, Nikola Tesla had an interview with a certain journalist, John Smith, when Tesla said, “Everything is the light.” In one of its rays is the fate of nations, each nation has its own ray in that great light source, which we see as the Sun.
In this interview this greatest inventor and seer of modern time unravels a new vision of humanity which we, the light warriors of the first and the last hour, have created a century later. A must read for every Ascended Master from the PAT.
Part of this interview is dedicated to Tesla’s critics on Einstein’s theory of relativity that discards the ether as energy. I have proved in the new Theory of the Universal Law why Einstein’s theory of relativity is entirely wrong and why there is no vacuum (void), and that everything is energy. Thus I confirm Tesla’s ideas as expressed in this interview.
George, May 7, 2015
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, you have gained the glory of the man who got involved in the cosmic processes. Who are you, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla:It is a right question, Mr. Smith, and I will try to give you the right answer to it.
Journalist: Some say you’re from the country of Croatia, from the area called Lika, where together with the people are growing trees, rocks and starry sky. They say that your home village is named after the mountain flowers, and that the house, where you were born, is next to the forest and the church.
Tesla: Really, all it true. I’m proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian homeland.
Journalist: Futurists say that the Twenty-and Twenty First Century was born in head of Nikola Tesla. They celebrate conversely magnetic field and sing hymns to Inductions engine. Their creator was called the hunter who caught the light in his net from the depths of the earth, and the warrior who captured fire from heaven. Father of alternating current will make the Physics and Chemistry dominate half the world. Industry will proclaim him as their supreme saint, a banker for the largest benefactors. In the laboratory of Nikola Tesla for the first time is broken atom.
There is created a weapon that causes the earthquake vibrations. There are discovered black cosmic rays. Five races will pray to him in the Temple of the future, because they had taught a great secret that Empedocles elements can be watered with the life forces from the ethers.
Tesla: Yes, these are some of my most important discoveries. I’m a defeated man. I have not accomplished the greatest thing I could.
Journalist: What is it, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: I wanted to illuminate the whole earth. There is enough electricity to become a second sun. Light would appear around the equator, as a ring around Saturn.
Mankind is not ready for the great and good. In Colorado Springs I soaked the earth by electricity. Also we can water the other energies, such as positive mental energy. They are in the music of Bach or Mozart, or in the verses of great poets. In the Earth’s interior, there are energy of Joy, Peace and Love. Their expressions are a flower that grows from the Earth, the food we get out of her and everything that makes man’s homeland. I’ve spent years looking for the way that this energy could influence people. The beauty and the scent of roses can be used as a medicine and the sun rays as a food.
Life has an infinite number of forms, and the duty of scientists is to find them in every form of matter. Three things are essential in this. All that I do is a search for them. I know I will not find them, but I will not give up on them.
Journalist: What are these things?
Tesla: One issue is food. What a stellar or terrestrial energy to feed the hungry on Earth? With what wine watered all thirsty, so that they can cheer in their heart and understand that they are Gods?
Another thing is to destroy the power of evil and suffering in which man’s life passes! They sometimes occur as an epidemic in the depths of space. In this century, the disease had spread from Earth in the Universe.
The third thing is: Is there an excess Light in the Universe? I discovered a star that by all the astronomical and mathematical laws could disappear, and that nothing seems to be modified. This star is in this galaxy. Its light can occur in such density that fits into a sphere smaller than an apple, a heavier than our Solar System. Religions and philosophies teach that man can become the Christ, Buddha and Zoroaster. What I’m trying to prove is wilder, and almost unattainable. This is what to do in the Universe so every being is born as Christ, Buddha or Zoroaster.
I know that gravity is prone to everything you need to fly and my intention is not to make flying devices (aircraft or missiles), but teach individual to regain consciousness on his own wings … Further; I am trying to awake the energy contained in the air. There are the main sources of energy. What is considered as empty space is just a manifestation of matter that is not awakened.
No empty space on this planet, nor in the Universe.. In black holes, what astronomers talk about, are the most powerful sources of energy and life.
Journalist: On the window of your room in hotel “Valdorf-Astoria”, on the thirty-third floor, every morning, the birds arrive.
Tesla: A man must be sentimental towards the birds. This is because of their wings. Human had them once, the real and visible!
Journalist: You have not stopped flying since those distant days in Smiljan!
Tesla:I wanted to fly from the roof and I fell: Children’s calculations could be wrong. Remember, the youth wings have everything in life!
Journalist: Have you ever married? It is not known that you have affection for love or for a woman. Photos from the youth show you were handsome man.
Tesla: Yes. I did not. There are two views: a lot affection or not at all. The center serves to rejuvenate human race. Women for certain people nurtures and strengthen its vitality and spirit. Being single does the same to other people. I chose that second path.
Journalist: Your admirers are complaining that you attacking relativity. The strange is your assertion that the matter has no energy. Everything is imbued with energy, where it is?
Tesla: First was energy, then matter.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, it’s like when you said that you were born by your father, and not on you.
Tesla: Exactly! What about the birth of the Universe? Matter is created from the original and eternal energy that we know as Light .It shone, and there have been appear star, the planets, man, and everything on the Earth and in the Universe. Matter is an expression of infinite forms of Light, because energy is older than it. There are four laws of Creation. The first is that the source of all the baffling, dark plot that the mind cannot conceive, or mathematics measure. In that plot fit the whole Universe.
The second law is spreading a darkness, which is the true nature of Light, from the inexplicable and it’s transformed into the Light. The third law is the necessity of the Light to become a matter of Light. The fourth law is: no beginning and no end; three previous laws always take place and the Creation is eternal.
Journalist: In the hostility to the theory of relativity you go so far, that you hold lectures against its Creator at your birthday parties..
Tesla: Remember, it is not curved space, but the human mind which cannot comprehend infinity and eternity! If relativity has been clearly understood by its Creator, he would gain immortality, even yet physically, if he is pleased.
I am part of a light, and it is the music. The Light fills my six senses: I see it, hear, feel, smell, touch and think. Thinking of it means my sixth sense. Particles of Light are written note. O bolt of lightning can be an entire sonata. A thousand balls of lightning is a concert.. For this concert
I have created a Ball Lightning, which can be heard on the icy peaks of the Himalayas. About Pythagoras and mathematics a scientist may not and must not infringe of these two. Numbers and equations are signs that mark the music of the spheres. If Einstein had heard these sounds, he would not create theories of relativity. These sounds are the messages to the mind that life has meaning, that the Universe exists in perfect harmony, and its beauty is the cause and effect of Creation. This music is the eternal cycle of stellar heavens.
The smallest star has completed composition and also, part of the celestial symphony. The man’s heartbeats are part of the symphony on the Earth. Newton learned that the secret is in geometric arrangement and motion of celestial bodies. He recognized that the supreme law of harmony exists in the Universe. The curved space is chaos, chaos is not music. Einstein is the messenger of the time of sound and fury.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, do you hear that music?
Tesla: I hear it all the time. My spiritual ear is as big as the sky we see above us. My natural ear I increased by the radar. According to the Theory of Relativity, two parallel lines will meet in infinity. By that Einstein’s curved will straighten. Once created, the sound lasts forever. For a man it can vanish, but continues to exist in the silence that is man’s greatest power.
No, I have nothing against Mr. Einstein. He is a kind person and has done many good things, some of which will become part of the music. I will write to him and try to explain that the ether exists, and that its particles are what keep the Universe in harmony, and the life in eternity.
Journalist: Tell me, please, under what conditions Angel adopt on the Earth?
Tesla: I have ten of them. Keep good records vigilant.
Journalist: I will document all your words, Dear Mr. Tesla.
Tesla: The first requirement is a high awareness of its mission and work to be done. It must, if only dimly, exist in the early days. Let us not be falsely modest; Oak knows that it is oak tree, a bush beside him being a bush. When I was twelve, I have been sure I will get to Niagara Falls. For most of my discoveries I knew in my childhood that I will achieve them, although not entirely apparent … The second condition to adapt is determination. All that I might, I finished.
Journalist: What is the third condition of adjustment, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: Guidance for all the vital and spiritual energies in labor. Therefore purification of the many effects and needs that man has. I therefore have not lost anything, but just gained.
So I enjoyed every day and night. Write down: Nikola Tesla was a happy man… The fourth requirement is to adjust the physical assembly with a work.
Journalist: What do you mean, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: First, the maintenance of the assembly. Man’s body is a perfect machine. I know my circuit and what’s good for him. Food what nearly all people eat, to me it is harmful and dangerous. Sometimes I visualize that chefs in the world are all in conspiracy against me … Touch my hand.
Journalist: It was cold.
Tesla: Yes. Bloodstream can be controlled, and many processes in and around us. Why are you frightened young man?
Journalist: It’s a story that Mark Twain wrote a mysterious stranger, that wonderful book of Satan, inspired by you.
Tesla: The word “Lucifer” is more charming. Mr. Twain likes to joke. As a child I was healed once by reading his books. When we met here and told him about, he was so touched that he cried. We became friends and he often came to my lab. Once he requested to show him a machine that by vibration provokes a feeling of bliss. It was one of those inventions for entertainment, what I sometimes like to do.
I warned Mr. Twain as not to remain under these vibrations. He did not listen and stayed longer. It ended by being, like a rocket, holding pants, darted into a certain room. It was a diabolically funny, but I kept the seriousness.
But, to adjust the physical circuit, in addition to food, dream is very important . From a long and exhausting work, which required superhuman effort, after one hour of sleep I’d be fully recovered. I gained the ability to manage sleep, to fell asleep and wake up in the time which I have designated. If I do something what I do not understand, I force myself to think about it in my dream, and thus find a solution.
Tesla: The fifth condition of adjustment is memory. Perhaps in the most people, the brain is keeper of knowledge about the world and the knowledge gained through the life. My brain is engaged in more important things than remembering, it is picking what is required at a given moment. This is all around us. It should only be consumed. Everything that we once saw, hear, read and learn, accompanies us in the form of light particles. To me, these particles are obedient and faithful.
Goethe’s Faust, my favorite book, I learned by heart in German as a student, and now it can all recite. I held my inventions for years ‘in my head “, and only then I realized them.
Journalist: You often mentioned the power of visualization.
Tesla: I might have to thank to visualization for all that I invented. The events of my life and my inventions are real in front of my eyes, visible as each occurrence or the item. In my youth I was frightened of not knowing what it is, but later, I learned to use this power as an exceptional talent and gift. I nurtured it, and jealously guarded. I also made corrections by visualization on most of my inventions, and finish them that way, by visualization I mentally solve complex mathematical equations. For that gift I have, I will receive rank High Lama in Tibet.
My eyesight and hearing are perfect and, dare to say, stronger than other people. I hear the thunder of a hundred fifty miles away, and I see colors in the sky that others cannot see. This enlargement of vision and hearing, I had as a child. Later I consciously developed.
Journalist: In youth you have several times been seriously ill. Is it a disease and a requirement to adapt?
Tesla: Yes. It is often the result of a lack of exhaustion or vital force, but often the purification of mind and body from the toxins that have accumulated. It is necessary that a man suffers from time to time. The source of most disease is in the spirit. Therefore the spirit and can cure most diseases. As a student I got sick of cholera which raged in the region of Lika. I was cured because my father finally allowed me to study technology, which was my life. Illusion for me was not a disease, but the mind’s ability to penetrate beyond the three dimensions of the earth.
I had them all my life, and I have received them as all other phenomena around us. Once, in childhood, I was walking along the river with Uncle and said: “From the water will appear the trout, I’ll throw a stone and it is cut.” That’s what happened. Frightened and amazed, his uncle cried: “Bade retro Satan’s!” He was an educated and he spoke in Latin …
I was in Paris when I saw my mother’s death. In the sky, full of light and music floated are wonderful creatures. One of them had a mother’s character, who was looking at me with infinite love. As the vision disappeared, I knew that my mother died.
Journalist: What is the seventh adjustment, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla:The knowledge of how the mental and vital energy transform into what we want, and achieve control over all feelings. Hindus call it Kundalini Yoga. This knowledge can be learned, for what they need many years or is acquired by birth. The most of them I acquired by birth. They are in the closest connection with a sexual energy that is after the most widespread in the Universe. The woman is the biggest thief of that energy, and thus the spiritual power.
I’ve always knew that and was alerted. Of myself I created what I wanted: a thoughtful and spiritual machine.
Journalist: A ninth adjustment, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla:Do everything that any day, any moment, if possible, not to forget who we are and why we are on Earth. Extraordinary people who are struggling with illness, privation, or the society which hurts them with its stupidity, misunderstanding, persecution and other problems which the country is full of a swamps with insects, leaves behind unclaimed until the end of the work. There are many fallen angels on Earth.
Journalist: What is the tenth adaptation?
Tesla: It is most important. Write that Mr. Tesla played. He played the whole of his life and enjoyed it.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla! Whether it relates to your findings and your work? Is this a game?
Tesla: Yes, dear boy. I have so loved to play with electricity! I always cringe when I hear about the one also the Greek who stole fire. A terrible story about studding, and eagles peck at his liver. Did Zeus did not have enough lightning and thunder, and was damaged for one fervor? There is some misunderstanding…
Lightning are the most beautiful toys that can be found. Do not forget that in your text stand out: Nikola Tesla was the first man who discovered lightning.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, you’re just talking about angels and their adaptation to the Earth.
Tesla: Am I? This is the same. You could write this: he dared to take upon himself the prerogatives of Indri, Zeus and Peron. Imagine one of these gods in a black evening suit, with the bowler hat and wearing white cotton gloves prepares lightning, fires and earthquakes to the New York City elite!
Journalist: Readers love the humor of our paper. But you confuse me stating that your findings, which have immense benefits for the people, representing the game. Many will frown on it.
Tesla: Dear Mr. Smith, the trouble is that people are too serious. If they were not, they would be happier and much longer would have lived. Chinese proverb says that the seriousness reduces life. Visiting the inn Tai Pe guessed that he visits the Imperial Palace. But that the newspaper readers would not have frowned, let’s get back to things which they consider important.
Journalist: They would love to hear what your philosophy is.
Tesla: Life is a rhythm that must be comprehended. I feel the rhythm and direct on it and pamper in it. It was very grateful and gave me the knowledge I have. Everything that lives is related to a deep and wonderful relationship: man and the stars, amoebas’ and the sun, the heart and the circulation of an infinite number of worlds. These ties are unbreakable, but they can be tame and to propitiate and begin to create new and different relationships in the world, and that does not violate the old.
Knowledge comes from space; our vision is its most perfect set. We have two eyes: the earthly and spiritual. It is recommended that it become one eye. Universe is alive in all its manifestations, like a thinking animal.
Stone is a thinking and sentient being, such as plant, beast and a man. A star that shines asked to look at, and if we are not a sizeable self-absorbed we would understand its language and message. His breathing, his eyes and ears of the man must comply with breathing, eyes and ears of the Universe.
Journalist: As you say this, it seems to me like I hear Buddhist texts, words or Taoist Parazulzusa.
Tesla: That’s right! This means that there is general knowledge and truth that man has always possessed. In my feeling and experience, the Universe has only one substance and one supreme energy with an infinite number of manifestations of life. The best thing is that the discovery of a secret nature, reveals the other.
One cannot hide, there are around us, but we are blind and deaf to them. If we emotionally tie ourselves to them, they come to us themselves. There are a lot of apples, but one Newton. He asked for just one apple that fell in front of him.
Journalist: A question that might be set at the beginning of this conversation. What was Electricity for you, Dear Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: Everything is Electricity. First was the light, endless source from which points out material and distribute it in all forms that represent the Universe and the Earth with all its aspects of life. Black is the true face of Light, only we do not see this. It is remarkable grace to man and other creatures. One of its particles possesses light, thermal, nuclear, radiation, chemical, mechanical and an unidentified energy.
It has the power to run the Earth with its orbit. It is true Archimedean lever.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, you’re too biased towards electricity.
Tesla:Electricity I am. Or, if you wish, I am the electricity in the human form. You are Electricity; too Mr. Smith, but you do not realize it.
Journalist: Is it thus your ability to allow fails of electricity of one million volts trough your body?
Tesla: Imagine a gardener who is attacked by herbs. This would indeed be crazy. Man’s body and brain are made from a large amount energy; in me there is the majority of electricity. The energy that is different in everyone is what makes the human “I” or “soul”. For other creatures to their essence, “soul” of the plant is the “soul” of minerals and animals.
Brain function and death is manifested in light. My eyes in youth were black, now blue, and as time goes on and strain the brain gets stronger, they are closer to white. White is the color of heaven. Through my window one morning, landed a white dove, which I fed. She wanted to bring me a word that she was dying. From her eyes the light jets were coming out. Never in the eyes of any creature had I not seen so much light, as in that pigeon.
Journalist: Personnel in your lab speak about flashes of light, flames and lightning that occur if you are angry or into kind of risk.
Tesla: It is the psychic discharge or a warning to be alert. The light was always on my side. Do you know how I discovered the rotating magnetic field and induction motor, which made me became famous when I was twenty-six? One summer evening in Budapest, I watched with my friend Sigetijem sunset.
Thousands of fire was turning around in thousands of flaming colors. I remembered Faust and recited his verses and then, as in a fog, I saw spinning magnetic field, and induction motor. I saw them in the sun!
Journalist: Hotel service telling that at the time of lightning you isolate into the room and talk to yourselves.
Tesla: I talk with lightning and thunder.
Journalist: With them? What language, Mr.Tesla?
Tesla: Mostly my native language. It has the words and sounds, especially in poetry, what is suitable for it.
Journalist: Readers of our magazine would be very grateful if you would interpret that.
Tesla: The sound does not exist only in the thunder and lightning, but, in transformation into the brightness and color. A color can be heard. Language is of the words, which means that it is from the sounds and colors. Every thunder and lightning are different and have their names. I call some of them by the names of those who were close in my life, or by those whom I admire.
In the sky brightness and thunder live my mother, sister, brother Daniel, a poet Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj and other persons of Serbian history. Names such AsIsaiah, Ezekiel, Leonardo, Beethoven, Goya, Faraday, Pushkin and all burning fires mark shoals and tangles of lightning and thunder, which does not stop all night bringing to the Earth precious rain and burning trees or villages.
There is lightning and thunder, and they are the brightest and most powerful, that will not vanish. They are coming back and I recognize them among the thousands.
Journalist: For you, science or poetry is the same?
Tesla:These are the two eyes of one person. William Blake was taught that the Universe was born from the imagination, that it maintains and it will exist as long as there is a last man on the Earth. With it was a wheel to which astronomers can collect the stars of all galaxies. It is the creative energy identical to the light energy.
Journalist: Imagination is more real to you than life itself?
Tesla: It gives birth to the life. I have fed by my taught; I’ve learned to control emotions, dreams and visions. I have always cherished, as I nurtured my enthusiasm. All my long life I spent in ecstasy. That was the source of my happiness. It helped me during all these years to bear with work, which was enough for the five lives. The best is to work at night, because the stellar light, and close bond.
Journalist: You said that I am, like every being, the Light. This flatter me, but I confess, I do not quite understand.
Tesla: Why would you need to understand, Mr. Smith? Suffice it to believe it. Everything is light. In one its ray is the fate of nations, each nation has its own ray in what great light source we see as the sun. And remember: no one who was there did not die. They transformed into the light, and as such exist still. The secret lies in the fact that the light particles restore their original state.
Journalist: This is the resurrection!
Tesla: I prefer to call it: return to a previous energy. Christ and several others knew the secret. I am searching how to preserve human energy. It is forms of Light, sometimes straight like heavenly light. I have not looked for it for my own sake, but for the good of all. I believe that my discoveries make people’s lives easier and more bearable, and channel them to spirituality and morality.
Journalist: Do you think that time can be abolished?
Tesla: Not quite, because the first feature of the energy is that it transforms. It is in perpetual transformation, as clouds of Taoists. But it is possible to leverage the fact that a man preserves consciousness after the earthly life. In every corner of the universe exist energy of life; one of them is immortality, whose origin is outside of man, waiting for him.
The universe is spiritual; we are only half that way. The Universe is more moral than us, because we do not know his nature and how to harmonize our lives with it. I am not scientist, science is perhaps the most convenient way to find the answer to the question that always haunt me, and which my days and nights turned into fire.
Journalist: What’s the matter?
Tesla: How are your eyes brightened!… What I wanted to know is: what happens to a falling star as the sun goes out? Stars fall like dust or seed in this or in other worlds, and the sun be scattered in our minds, in the lives of many beings, what will be reborn as a new light, or cosmic wind scattered in infinity.
I understand that this is necessary included in the structure of the Universe. The thing is, though, is that one of these stars and one of these suns, even the smallest, preserves.
Journalist: But, Mr. Tesla, you realize that this is necessary and is included in the constitution of the world!
Tesla: When a man becomes concuss; that his highest goal must be to run for a shooting star, and tries to capture it; shall understand that his life was given to him because of this and will be saved. Stars will eventually be capable to catch!
Journalist: And what will happen then?
Tesla:The creator will laugh and say: ”It fall only that you chase her and grab her.”
J ournalist: Isn’t all of this contrary to the cosmic pain, which so often you mention in your writings? And what is it cosmic pain?
Tesla: No, because we are on Earth … It is an illness whose existence the vast majority of people are not aware of. Hence, many other illnesses, suffering, evil, misery, wars and everything else what makes human life an absurd and horrible condition. This disease cannot be completely cured, but awareness shall make it less complicated and hazardous. Whenever one of my close and dear people were hurt, I felt physical pain. This is because our bodies are made as of similar material, and our soul related with unbreakable strands. Incomprehensible sadness that overwhelmed us at times means that somewhere, on the other side on this planet, a child or generous man died.
The entire Universe is in certain periods sick of itself, and of us. Disappearance of a star and the appearance of comets affect us more than we can imagine. Relationships among the creatures on the Earth are even stronger, because of our feelings and thoughts the flower will scent even more beautiful or will fall in silence.
These truths we must learn in order to be healed. Remedy is in our hearts and evenly, in the heart of the animals that we call the Universe.

Update: The interview is possibly fake, as the theory of relativity was not developed in 1899. At the same time, Tesla could have known the insights of Einstein's work long before the latter published his famous paper. As always, be your own judge.

Nieuwe film laat zien dat UFO’s onze kernwapens in de gaten houden
Nieuwe film laat zien dat UFO’s onze kernwapens in de gaten houden
Meer dan 150 legerveteranen, officieren en beveiligers zeggen mysterieuze indringers te hebben gezien boven kerninstallaties. In de Koude Oorlog werden in het kernwapentestgebied inNevada honderden kernproeven uitgevoerd.
In 1955 werden tijdens Operatie Teapot bijvoorbeeld 14 atoombommen tot ontploffing gebracht. Duizenden militairen waren hier getuigen van. Er waren echter ook andere getuigen, meldt de Amerikaanse zender KLAS-TV.
“Het waren zogeheten vliegende schotels,” zei een voormalig fotograaf die werkzaam was in het testgebied. “Ze werden toen al vaak gezien boven het kernwapentestgebied.”
Ingegrepen
Meer dan 150 andere legerveteranen, officieren en anderen die meewerkten aan het kernwapenprogramma vertellen hetzelfde verhaal. “UFO’s houden onze kernwapens al decennia in de gaten en hebben zelfs ingegrepen,” zei schrijver en onderzoeker Robert Hastings.
Uit vrijgegeven documenten van het Amerikaanse ministerie van Energie blijkt dat UFO’s zijn waargenomen boven alle grote kernwapeninstallaties. Boven het Los Alamos National Lab, waar de bommen zijn ontworpen, en ook boven Hanford, waar plutonium is verwerkt.
“Burgers die in de buurt van het testgebied woonden zagen soms UFO’s die in formatie vlogen,” aldus Hastings. In een nieuwe film laat hij zien dat UFO’s niet alleen met gemak het gesloten luchtruim boven kernbases weten binnen te dringen, maar ook kernraketten hebben uitgeschakeld.
Lichtstralen
In één van de gevallen zagen legerfotografen hoe een UFO een raket uitschakelde die vanaf vliegbasis Vandenberg was gelanceerd. “Plotseling verscheen er een schijf met een koepel in beeld die om de raket cirkelde en er vier lichtstralen op afvuurde, waarna de raket in zee stortte en de UFO verdween,” zei Hastings.
Boven het kernwapentestgebied in Nevada werden zo vaak UFO’s gezien dat er hele teams werden samengesteld om ze vanuit een speciaal gebouw in de gaten te houden. “Ze gaven allemaal licht en waren schijfvormig,” zei oud-beveiliger Walter Levine. “Sommige waren rechthoekig van vorm.”
Ook boven kerninstallaties in Groot-Brittannië, Rusland, India, Pakistan en andere kernmachten zijn onbekende vliegende objecten waargenomen. “Wie zitten er achter deze incidenten en waarom?” vraagt KLAS-TV zich af.
OF wij mensen ooit op de maan zijn geweest, is nog steeds onderwerp van heftige discussies.
Dat anderen daar zeker wél zijn geweest, blijkt uit de ontdekking enkele dagen geleden van een buitenaardse basis op de Maan.
Volgens sommigen is de Maan een soort Emmentaler gatenkaas, maar dat lijkt niet het geval.
De maan ziet er een beetje pokdalig uit vanwege waarschijnlijk allerlei soorten inslagen die in de loop der jaren hebben plaatsgevonden op het oppervlak van de Maan.
Daarom zien we zoveel kraters en één van die kraters heet de Tycho krater.
Tycho is één van de bekendste inslagkraters op de maan genoemd naar de 16e-eeuwse Deense astronoom Tycho Brahe.
Tycho heeft een diameter van 85 km en een diepte van 4850 meter.
Tycho is een zeer jonge (ouderdom geschat op 108 miljoen jaar) en heldere krater, die goed opvalt bij volle maan.
Het is deze volgens de Wikipedia zeer jonge krater, waarin de inmiddels bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1 een bijzondere ontdekking heeft gedaan.
Zoals op de volgende afbeeldingen te zien, bevindt zich daar iets wat verdacht veel lijkt op een complex met gebouwen.
Het is niet vaak dat er zulke gedetailleerde opnames worden gevonden en het zal dan ook waarschijnlijk per ongeluk langs de censuur van NASA zijn gekomen.
De rechte hoeken zoals die zichtbaar zijn, kunnen uiteraard nooit iets “natuurlijks” zijn en de manier waarop ze bij elkaar staan gegroepeerd bewijst dat ze zijn gemaakt door intelligente wezens.
In de jaren zestig werkte Karl Wolfe als sergeant bij de Amerikaanse luchtmacht. Hij had in die tijd een vrij hoge security clearance, maar zeker niet de hoogste.
Hij werkte als fototechnisch specialist in de zomer van 1965 op de basis Langley Field in Virginia toen zijn baas vroeg of hij even wilde kijken bij de NSA, want die hadden wat problemen met apparatuur.
Jarenlang heeft Wolfe gedacht dat hij naar NASA werd gestuurd om daar een klusje op te knappen, ook omdat het te maken had met foto’s die in die tijd door de Lunar Orbiter waren gemaakt.
Wolfe zegt dat hij volkomen naïef was in die dagen en het al vreemd vond toen hij daar aan kwam dat er allemaal geleerde mensen stonden te praten die duidelijk afkomstig waren uit andere landen omdat ze allemaal verschillende talen spraken.
Het apparaat dat door Wolfe moest worden gerepareerd moest naar een andere ruimte worden gebracht omdat de plek waar het stond niet daarvoor geschikt was. Al de vreemde mensen verlieten de ruimte en volgens Wolfe hadden ze allemaal een soort bedrukte uitdrukking op hun gezicht.
Terwijl ze wachtten, bleef hij alleen achter met een soldaat die hem vertelde dat uit de foto’s die ze hadden ontvangen, bleek dat er zich aan de achterkant van de Maan een buitenaardse basis bevond.
Vervolgens liet hij Wolfe de foto’s zien, waarop duidelijk hele enorme gebouwen en hoge torens waren te onderscheiden.
Hierna volgt het verhaal van Karl Wolfe.
Het mysterie of er wel of geen mensen op de Maan zijn (geweest) is hiermee niet opgelost. Wel een bevestiging dat er hoe dan ook intelligente wezens actief zijn geweest op de Maan, in het geval dit een echte getuige/klokkenluider is.
This sounds like an amazing sighting, and I have never heard about it before. Any info about tall whites helps a lot. The police officer says that they moved oddly, which the do, because the shape of their leg (from the knee down) actually goes opposite direction from ours, but some kind of holo-emitter makes it appear human like, but they still cannot mask their odd walk. Here is an example of a real tall white youth caught by the Google Earth camera at a Mexico pyramid. Its since been deleted by Google but still exists on the net. Notice her legs? Those are the legs of a tall white, and her size says she is under 400 years old. Above 400 they grow another meter tall, until about 700 where they die a natural aged death. Scott C.

News states: 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’. 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 analyzing the Crop Circle – was it them who made it, or possibly was it their fellow colleagues from a far!? Picture The crop circle had been there in the field for a few days before this incident. 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.

UFO Caught Exiting Alien Base New Volcano In Mexico, June 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: June 17, 2016 Location of sighting: Mexico volcano This UFO was caught on infrared video over a volcano in Mexico last month and shows a long UFO shooting away fast from the volcano area. Although it didn't come from the volcanos mouth, it only means that aliens are now using alternate exists around the volcano to slow down the attention that they have been getting. Scott C.

NASA Stream Catches A UFO Entering Into Earth’s Atmosphere
NASA Stream Catches A UFO Entering Into Earth’s Atmosphere
A massive UFO was observed on the live ISS stream entering the atmosphere of the Earth on July 9, 2016. According to the witness, who also uploaded the video to YouTube titled “UFO Enters Earth’s Atmosphere, July 9, 2016,” the UFO could be an alien craft in the sense that NASA cut live transmission as the mysterious object was about to enter Earth’s atmosphere.
The UFO hunter indicated in the video description that the apparent UFO could have been a meteor, but the video cut off when the UFO appeared to stop.
The YouTube user’s observations sparked contradicting comments among enthusiasts.
One user wrote that after a closer look, he was convinced that it was an artificial space object, such as space debris or junk, re-entering the atmosphere from orbit.
Another user agreed to the video uploader saying that if it was just a natural, identified object, then NASA could just let the streaming to continue and not cut it off.
Another UFO blogger said that the bizarre object was not a meteor or the Moon, but more likely the Chinese space station Tiangong-1 – a space station cargo ship from China. It is China’s first space station, which was launched unmanned into orbit in 2011.
Earlier in April, a NASA spokesperson denied allegations of cutting off their live feed every time a UFO or UFOs enter into the frame. The agency explained that the loss of video could be due to loss of signals from the ISS.
A SOUTH Devon man has described the moment he spotted a UFO which 'gave him the creeps' over the town on Sunday morning.
John Mooner, who lives in Newton Abbot, spotted a bright light hanging above a nearby housing estate in at 1.20am on Sunday.
When he noticed the light, he ran to get his camera, hoping to get a better look at the object. Through the viewfinder of his camera, he could make out the object, and explained that it was like nothing he'd ever seen before.
He said: "I looked out the kitchen window and saw a bright object hanging above a nearby housing estate and thought to myself that looks strange.
"I ran to get my Nikon P900 Camera and open the window wide and lent out to get a better look at the object. Looking through the viewfinder of my camera I began to zoom in and I could see the object clearly.
"The object was definitely not any type of known aircraft. The object was glowing bright orange and had a white pulsing light on the top left side. The object was large and just hung there silently over the housing estate it gave me the creeps."
After a while of watching the object something started to happen; the shape of the object started to change as a 'tube' emerged from underneath it.
John continued: "A tube began to extend from the middle of the object and when it was fully extended it glowed with a yellowish tinge. While making my observations I had been taking photographs and managed to capture the strange unknown object.
"I then felt tired and closed the kitchen window and put the camera on the side and went to bed. In the morning I was confused to why I had gone bed. Why didn't I take more photographs, why did I go to bed?
"What is this large object? It's not a helicopter or a plane what is it?
Western society continues to be fascinated with the paranormal, with musing over the possibility of UFOs not carrying the stigma that it used to.

The 1990s were a high-water mark for public interest in UFOs and alien abduction. Shows like The X-Files and Fox’salien autopsy hoax were prime-time events, while MIT even hosted an academic conference on the abduction phenomenon.
In 2006, historian Ben Macintyre suggested in The Times that the internet had “chased off” the UFOs. The web’s free-flowing, easy exchange of ideas and information had allowed UFO skeptics to prevail and, to Macintyre, people were no longer seeing UFOs because they no longer believed in them.
Data seemed to back up Macintyre’s argument that, when it came to belief in UFOs, reason was winning out. A 1990 Gallup poll found that 27 % of Americans believed “extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth at some time in the past”. That number rose to 33 % in 2001, before dropping back to 24 % in 2005.
But now The X-Filesis back, and Hillary Clinton has even pledged to disclose what the government knows about aliens if elected president. Meanwhile, a recent Boston Globe article by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie suggests that belief in UFOs may be growing.
She points to a 2015 Ipsos poll, which reported that 45 % of Americans believe extraterrestrials have visited the Earth.
So much for reason.
Why does Western society continue to be fascinated with the paranormal? If science doesn’t automatically kill belief in UFOs, why do reports of UFOs and alien abductions go in and out of fashion?
To some extent, this is political. Even though government agents like Men in Black may be the stuff of folklore, powerful people and institutions can influence the level of stigma surrounding these topics.
Sociologists of religion have also suggested that skepticism is countered by a different societal trend, something they’ve dubbed “re-enchantment”. They argue that while science can temporarily suppress belief in mysterious forces, these beliefs will always return – that the need to believe is ingrained in the human psyche.
A new mythology
The narrative of triumphant reason dates back, at least, to German sociologist Max Weber’s 1918 speech “Science as a Vocation”, in which he argued that the modern world takes for granted that everything is reducible to scientific explanations.
“The world,” he declared, “is disenchanted.”
As with many inexplicable events, UFOs were initially treated as an important topic of scientific inquiry. The public wondered what was going on; scientists studied the issue and then “demystified” the topic.
Modern UFOlogy – the study of UFOs – is typically dated to a sighting made by a pilot named Kenneth Arnold. While flying over Mount Rainier on June 24, 1947, Arnold described nine disk-like objects that the media dubbed “flying saucers.”
A few weeks later the Roswell Daily Register reported that the military had recovered a crashed flying saucer. By the end of 1947, Americans had reported an additional 850 sightings.

During the 1950s, people started reporting that they’d made contact with the inhabitants of these craft. Frequently, the encounters were erotic.
For example, one of the first “abductees” was a mechanic from California named Truman Bethurum. Bethurum was taken aboard a spaceship from Planet Clarion, which he said was captained by a beautiful woman named Aura Rhanes. (Bethurum’s wife eventually divorced him, citing his obsession with Rhanes.) In 1957, Antonio Villas-Boas of Brazil reported a similar encounter in which he was taken aboard a ship and forced to breed with a female alien.
Psychologists and sociologists proposed a few theories about the phenomenon. In 1957, psychoanalyst Carl Jung theorised that UFOs served a mythological function that helped 20th-century people adapt to the stresses of the Cold War. (For Jung, this did not preclude the possibility that UFOs might be real.)
Furthermore, American social mores were rapidly changing in the mid-20th century, especially around issues of race, gender and sexuality. According to historian W. Scott Poole, stories of sex with aliens could have been a way of processing and talking about these changes. For example, when the Supreme Court finally declared laws banning interracial marriage unconstitutional in 1967, the country had already been talking for years about Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple who claimed to have been probed by aliens.
Contactee lore also started applying “scientific ideas” as a way to repackage some of the mysterious forces associated with traditional religions. Folklore expert Daniel Wojcik has termed belief in benevolent space aliens as “techno-millennarianism.” Instead of God, some UFO believers think forms of alien technology will be what redeems the world.Heaven’s Gate – whose members famously committed mass suicide in 1995 – was one of several religious groups awaiting the arrival of the aliens.
You’re not supposed to talk about it
Despite some dubious stories from contactees, the air force took UFO sightings seriously, organising a series of studies, including Project Blue Book, which ran from 1952 to 1969.
In 1966, the air force tapped a team of University of Colorado scientists headed by physicist Edward Condon to investigate reports of UFOs. Even though the team failed to identify 30% of the 91 sightings it examined, its 1968 report concluded that it wouldn’t be useful to continue studying the phenomenon. Condon added that schoolteachers who allowed their students to read UFO-related books for classroom credit were doing a grave disservice to the students’ critical faculties and ability to think scientifically.
Basing its decision off the report, the air force terminated Project Blue Book and Congress ended all funding for UFO research.
As religion scholar Darryl Caterine explained in his book Haunted Ground, “With civil rights riots, hippie lovefests and antiwar protests raging throughout the nation, Washington gave its official support to a rational universe.”
While people still believed in UFOs, expressing too much interest in the subject now came with a price. In 2010, sociologists Christopher D. Bader, F. Carson Mencken and Joseph O. Baker found that 69% of Americans reported belief in at least one paranormal subject (astrology, ghosts, UFOs, etc.).
But their findings also suggested that the more status and social connections someone has, the less likely he or she is to report paranormal belief. Single people report more paranormal beliefs than married people and those with low incomes report more paranormal belief than those with high incomes. It may be that people with “something to lose” have reason not to believe in the paranormal (or at least not to talk about it).
In 1973, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics surveyed its membership about UFOs. Several scientists reported that they had seen unidentified objects and a few even answered that UFOs are extraterrestrial or at least “real”. However, physicist Peter A. Sturrock suggested that scientists felt comfortable answering these questions only because their anonymity was guaranteed.
Harvard psychiatrist John Mack came to symbolise the stigma of UFO research. Mack worked closely with abductees, whom he dubbed “experiencers.” While he remained cagey about whether aliens actually existed, he advocated for the experiencers and argued that their stories should be taken seriously.
His bosses weren’t happy. In 1994, Harvard Medical School opened an investigation into his research – an unprecedented action against a tenured professor. In the end, Harvard dropped the case and affirmed Mack’s academic freedom. But the message was clear: Being open-minded about aliens was bad for one’s career.
Reason and re-enchantment
So if Hillary Clinton is running for president, why is she talking about UFOs?
Part of the answer may be that the Clintons have ties to a network of influential people who have lobbied the government to disclose the truth about UFOs. This includes the late millionaire Laurence Rockefeller (who funded John Mack’s research) and John Podesta, the chairman of Clinton’s campaign and a long-time disclosure advocate.
But there may also be a broader cultural cycle at work. Sociologists such as Christopher Partridge have suggested that disenchantment leads to re-enchantment. While secularisation may have weakened the influence of traditional churches, this doesn’t mean that people have become disenchanted skeptics. Instead, many have explored alternate spiritualities that churches had previously stigmatised as “superstitions” (everything from holistic healing to Mayan prophecies). The rise of scientific authority may have paradoxically paved the way for UFO mythology.
A similar change may be happening in the political sphere where the language of critical thinking has been turned against the scientific establishment. In the 1960s, Congress deferred to the Condon Report. Today, conservative politicians regularly challenge ideas like climate change, evolution and the efficacy of vaccines. These dissenters never frame their claims as “anti-science” but rather as courageous examples of free inquiry.
Donald Trump may have been the first candidate to discover that weird ideas are now an asset instead of a liability. In a political climate where the language of reason is used to attack the authority of science, musing over the possibility of UFOs simply doesn’t carry the stigma that it used to.
The 1990s were a high-water mark for public interest in UFOs and alien abduction. Shows like “The X-Files” and Fox’s “alien autopsy” hoax were prime-time events, while MIT even hosted an academic conference on the abduction phenomenon.
In 2006 historian Ben Macintyre suggested in the Times that the internet had “chased off” the UFOs. The web’s free-flowing, easy exchange of ideas and information had allowed UFO skeptics to prevail, and to Macintyre, people were no longer seeing UFOs because they no longer believed in them.
Data seemed to back up Macintyre’s argument that, when it came to belief in UFOs, reason was winning out. A 1990 Gallup poll found that 27 percent of Americans believed “extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth at some time in the past.” That number rose to 33 percent in 2001, before dropping back to 24 percent in 2005.
But now “The X-Files” is back, and Hillary Clinton has even pledged to disclose what the government knows about aliens if elected president. Meanwhile, a recent Boston Globe article suggests that belief in UFOs may be growing again.
She points to a 2015 Ipsos poll, which reported that 45 percent of Americans believe extraterrestrials have visited the Earth. So much for reason.
Why does Western society continue to be fascinated with the paranormal? If science doesn’t automatically kill belief in UFOs, why do reports of UFOs and alien abductions go in and out of fashion?
To some extent, this is political. Even though government agents like “Men in Black” may be the stuff of folklore, powerful people and institutions can influence the level of stigma surrounding these topics.
Sociologists of religion have also suggested that skepticism is countered by a different societal trend, something they’ve dubbed “re-enchantment.” They argue that while science can temporarily suppress belief in mysterious forces, these beliefs will always return — that the need to believe is ingrained in the human psyche.
A new mythology
The narrative of triumphant reason dates back, at least, to German sociologist Max Weber’s 1918 speech “Science as a Vocation,” in which he argued that the modern world takes for granted that everything is reducible to scientific explanations. “The world is disenchanted,” he declared.
As with many inexplicable events, UFOs were initially treated as an important topic of scientific inquiry. The public wondered what was going on — scientists studied the issue and then “demystified” the topic.
Modern UFOlogy — the study of UFOs — is typically dated to a sighting made by a pilot named Kenneth Arnold. While flying over Mount Rainier on June 24, 1947, Arnold described nine disk-like objects that the media dubbed “flying saucers.”
A few weeks later, the Roswell Daily Register reported that the military had recovered a crashed flying saucer. By the end of 1947, Americans had reported an additional 850 sightings.
During the 1950s, people started reporting that they’d made contact with the inhabitants of these crafts. Frequently, the encounters were erotic.
For example, one of the first “abductees” was a mechanic from California named Truman Bethurum. Bethurum was taken aboard a spaceship from Planet Clarion, which he said was captained by a beautiful woman named Aura Rhanes. (Bethurum’s wife eventually divorced him, citing his obsession with Rhanes.) In 1957, Antonio Villas-Boas of Brazil reported a similar encounter in which he was taken aboard a ship and forced to breed with a female alien.
Psychologists and sociologists proposed a few theories about the phenomenon. In 1957, psychoanalyst Carl Jung theorized that UFOs served a mythological function that helped 20th-century people adapt to the stresses of the Cold War. (For Jung, this did not preclude the possibility that UFOs might be real.)
Furthermore, American social mores were rapidly changing in the mid-20th century, especially around issues of race, gender and sexuality. According to historian W. Scott Poole, stories of sex with aliens could have been a way of processing and talking about these changes. For example, when the Supreme Court finally declared laws banning interracial marriage unconstitutional in 1967, the country had already been talking for years about Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple who claimed to have been probed by aliens.
Contactee lore also started applying “scientific ideas” as a way to repackage some of the mysterious forces associated with traditional religions. Folklore expert Daniel Wojcik has termed belief in benevolent space aliens as “techno-millennarianism.” Instead of God, some UFO believers think forms of alien technology will be what redeems the world. Heaven’s Gate — whose members famously committed mass suicide in 1995 — was one of several religious groups awaiting the arrival of the aliens.
You’re not supposed to talk about it
Despite some dubious stories from contactees, the Air Force took UFO sightings seriously, organizing a series of studies, including Project Blue Book, which ran from 1952 to 1969.
In 1966, the Air Force tapped a team of University of Colorado scientists headed by physicist Edward Condon to investigate reports of UFOs. Even though the team failed to identify 30 percent of the 91 sightings it examined, its 1968 report concluded that it wouldn’t be useful to continue studying the phenomenon. Condon added that schoolteachers who allowed their students to read UFO-related books for classroom credit were doing a grave disservice to the students’ critical faculties and ability to think scientifically.
Basing its decision off the report, the Air Force terminated Project Blue Book, and Congress ended all funding for UFO research.
As religion scholar Darryl Caterine explained in his book “Haunted Ground,” “with civil rights riots, hippie lovefests and antiwar protests raging throughout the nation, Washington gave its official support to a rational universe.”
While people still believed in UFOs, expressing too much interest in the subject now came with a price. In 2010, sociologists Christopher D. Bader, F. Carson Mencken and Joseph O. Baker found that 69 percent of Americans reported belief in at least one paranormal subject (astrology, ghosts, UFOs, etc.).
But their findings also suggested that the more status and social connections someone has, the less likely he or she is to report paranormal belief. Single people report more paranormal beliefs than married people, and those with low incomes report more paranormal belief than those with high incomes. It may be that people with “something to lose” have reason not to believe in the paranormal (or at least not to talk about it).
In 1973, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics surveyed its membership about UFOs. Several scientists reported that they had seen unidentified objects and a few even answered that UFOs are extraterrestrial or at least “real.” However, physicist Peter A. Sturrock suggested that scientists felt comfortable answering these questions only because their anonymity was guaranteed.
Harvard psychiatrist John Mack came to symbolize the stigma of UFO research. Mack worked closely with abductees, whom he dubbed “experiencers.” While he remained cagey about whether aliens actually existed, he advocated for the experiencers and argued that their stories should be taken seriously.
His bosses weren’t happy. In 1994, Harvard Medical School opened an investigationinto his research — an unprecedented action against a tenured professor. In the end, Harvard dropped the case and affirmed Mack’s academic freedom. But the message was clear: Being open-minded about aliens was bad for one’s career.
Reason and re-enchantment
So if Hillary Clinton is running for president, why is she talking about UFOs?
Part of the answer may be that the Clintons have ties to a network of influential people who have lobbied the government to disclose the truth about UFOs. This includes the late millionaire Laurence Rockefeller (who funded John Mack’s research) and John Podesta, the chairman of Clinton’s campaign and a long-time disclosure advocate.
But there may also be a broader cultural cycle at work. Sociologists such as Christopher Partridge have suggested that disenchantment leads to re-enchantment. While secularization may have weakened the influence of traditional churches, this doesn’t mean that people have become disenchanted skeptics. Instead, many have explored alternate spiritualities that churches had previously stigmatized as “superstitions” (everything from holistic healing to Mayan prophecies). The rise of scientific authority may have paradoxically paved the way for UFO mythology.
A similar change may be happening in the political sphere where the language of critical thinking has been turned against the scientific establishment. In the 1960s, Congress deferred to the Condon Report. Today, conservative politicians regularly challenge ideas like climate change, evolution and the efficacy of vaccines. These dissenters never frame their claims as “anti-science,” but rather as courageous examples of free inquiry.
Donald Trump may have been the first candidate to discover that weird ideas are now an asset instead of a liability. In a political climate where the language of reason is used to attack the authority of science, musing over the possibility of UFOs simply doesn’t carry the stigma that it used to.

This is the last image a Japanese satellite sent to study black holes took before it was lost
This is the last image a Japanese satellite sent to study black holes took before it was lost
Earlier this year the Japanese Space Agency sent a $273-million satellite into space to study black holes and other celestial objects. Before being lost, the Satellite gathered data and this is these are some of the images it managed to beam back before eventually falling apart. Earlier this year, Japan launched a revolutionary and expensive satellite called Hitomi with the aim of studying black holes and other mysteries of the universe. In strange circumstances, mission specialists soon lost control over the ship. Now, experts have managed to recover some of the data and finally see what Hitomi found out before its destruction.
Hitomi managed to obtain just three days worth of observations
Earlier this year, Japan launched a revolutionary and expensive satellite called Hitomi with the aim of studying black holes and other mysteries of the universe. In strange circumstances, mission specialists soon lost control over the ship. Now, experts have managed to recover some of the data and finally see what Hitomi found out before its destruction.
The Japanese satellite Hitomi is an X-ray observatory that was launched by the Japanese space, JAXA, last February.
The spacecraft functioned for just over a month before contact was lost.
A series of unfortunate events caused both by human error and software malfunction caused the satellite to begin spinning out of control and despite attempts to recover it, Hitomi continued spewing its remains into space and eventually disintegrate. Ultimately JAXA issued a statement saying their $ 273 million mission was lost.
When Hitomi was destroyed, researchers announced that they had managed to recover a small fraction of satellite data that they would share with the public eventually. Now, some of these data were published in the Journal Nature.
During the satellites short life, Hitomi had enough time to take a look at the Perseus cluster, an enormous group of galaxies gravitationally bound, located about 240 million light-years from Earth, and managed to obtain new data about how giant black holes lurking inside galaxies shape them acting as a kind of “thermostat”.
The Japanese satellite found that the Perseus cluster includes not only ordinary matter to form galaxies, but also an “atmosphere” of hot plasma with a temperature of tens of millions of degrees, and a halo of invisible dark matter.
Previous studies, some of them dating back to the 60s, have shown that each of the galaxies in the cluster- and indeed most of the galaxies in the universe probably contain supermassive black hole at their center.
“These giant black holes are among the most efficient power generators of the Universe, a hundred times more efficient than a nuclear reactor,” says Brian McNamara,a researcher at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo in Canada. “The matter falling into the black hole is torn, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of particles at high speed and thermal energy.”
This heat is eventually released from the event horizon of the black hole, the limit of no return. The matter that remains is absorbed by the black hole, adding to its mass. The energy released heats the surrounding gas, creating bubbles of hot plasma that travel through the group, like air bubbles rising in a glass of champagne.
‘The plasma can be thought of forming an enormous atmosphere that envelopes whole clusters of galaxies,’ he said.
‘These hot atmospheres represent the failure of the past – the failure of the universe to create bigger galaxies.
‘But it’s also the hope for the future. This is the raw material for the future growth of galaxies.
‘It’s the raw material that in the next several billion years is going to make the next generation of suns and solar systems. And how rapidly that happens is governed by the black hole.’
The new research sheds light on the crucial role of hot plasma in galaxy evolution.
When researchers study the formation of the structure of the universe they wonder: why is most of the gas not cooled as stars and galaxies form? The answer seems is in the bubbles created by the outbursts of energy from black holes which keep temperatures too high for such structures take shape.

Filer’s Files # 28 – 2016 Are the Ancient Nephilim our Ancestors - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Air Force’s Chief Public Relations Officer Says UFOs are Real; Are the Ancient Nephilim our Ancestors? The Missile Defense Agency and Jupiter Promises Surprises.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Virginia.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Argentina, Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Indonesia, and Wales 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.

Air Force’s Chief Public Relations Officer Says UFOs are Real
Colonel William T. Coleman is a retired Air Force bomber pilot, former Public Information Officer for Project Blue Book, and Air Force’s Chief Public Relations Officer during the early 1970s. He was also the Producer of a series called “Project UFO” that ran on NBC for two seasons. (1978-79)
In June of 1978, while promoting his new TV show on the Merv Griffin show, Coleman spoke about a UFO sighting he had experienced while a bomber pilot in the fifties. I spoke several times to Colonel Coleman who knew a great deal about UFOs and had chased one over Georgia.
Colman states,
“We were cruising at 10,000 feet when we spotted a target somewhere around 20,000 to 25,000 feet. It was about seven miles in front of us to our right, and we were overtaking it. It then started descending across our flight path, and I decided to check it out. Therefore, I advanced power and began closing a little faster and descending. We kept getting closer and closer and pretty soon we were within a mile of the object, flying over trees at 345 MPH.”
(The plane closed to within an eighth of a mile of the disc-shaped object.) “It was about 60 feet in diameter and 10 or 11 feet thick through the center,” he said. “It had what looked like a titanium-type finish (silver gray). I pulled up and made a hard turn that put it out of sight for roughly for four seconds. We whipped back to pull up alongside of it and it wasn’t there. I zoomed up to 1500 feet. `There it is!’ I said. It was about 2 miles in front of us going across a field leaving a red dusty trail behind it. I guessed its speed at about 170 MPH.” After another dive, the crew lost sight of the object. “We never saw it again.”Thanks to Grant Cameron Website
Note: I spoke with Colonel Colman who was quite convinced UFOs were real and had written a book that was published in Japan in Japanese and was trying to get it cleared to publish in the United States.
Are the Ancient Nephilim our Ancestors?
Colony Earth and the Dolichocephaloids
From Museo De National. Lima, Peru
“Francis Crick, the discoverer of DNA, subscribed to the theory of intelligent design, that our universe was not simply the result of a series of chemical accidents. He states, “Life did not evolve first on Earth, a highly advanced civilization became threatened so they devised a way to pass on their existence.” The Bible refers fourteen times to giants who lived prior to the flood that were called Nephilim, or, as
Genesis, Chapter 6, describes them as those, “Who have come down, from Heaven to Earth and found the women of Earth fair and took them as wives.” Archaeologists and anthropologists have discovered a distinct “race” of people who died off during the last several thousand years, but were leaders in civilizations in Peru, Samaria, Malta, India, Ecuador, and Egypt in the past. Across every habitable continent, completely isolated cultures have practiced skull elongation for thousands of years. New DNA evidence has raised the attention of not only archaeologists, but medical scientists as well.
There are questions whether they represent a pre-human evolutionary lineage, alien intervention, or some unknown civilization. While Noah and his sons were 100% human, we are not told the same about the wives of his three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. What is clear is that one or more of these women were carrying the Nephilim gene. This is the source of the post-flood Nephilim. Nowhere in the Bible is it ever stated that angels once again cohabited with human women.
Possible UFO painting in 17,000 year old French Lascaux Cave
If you make the assumption the UFOs in our skies represent visitors from another world the actual recorded history of mankind starts making more sense. We are provided with a detailed history of cavemen whose advanced technology was art paintings and various flint stone knives and spears. Then suddenly mankind is constructing cities including sophisticated pyramids that engineers claim could not be duplicated today. The Egyptian historical records state the gods called Ptah or Osiris who came to Earth from space gave knowledge to write and build structures was passed onto common people in a master to initiate relationship. These gods are almost always represented as having exceedingly large heads. They taught engineering and religion to the common people. Often serving as priests and kings we discover a race of people with extremely large heads known as Dolichocephaloids.
Ramses II at Abu Simbel’s rock bluff showing elongated heads
It happens the Martian gravity is much less than our own and that a high speed train or aircraft could easily launch into space. It also possible aliens traveled from another planet to Earth. If we assume an expedition arrived from Mars or some other planet 5000 years ago, they would land among cavemen with limited technological ability. Almost overnight metals were mined and forged, pottery was made, crops were planted, and writing, symbols and religion were taught to caveman. Ancient writings repeatedly claim the Gods came from space providing this education.
Mars bluff showing elongated heads of statues
There is plausible logic that Akhenaten was genetically related to the visitors. Assuming the aliens were from Mars or another planet, they would likely bring a belief system, and engineering knowledge with them. On Mars we have located structures such as pyramids, symbols such as Y, E, G,^, on a regular basis. I suggest that these symbols found both on Mars and Earth suggest this knowledge was brought to Earth.
The statue shown at right was found on Mars and shows a strong similarity to Egyptian statues of the Pharaohs. The aliens with greater technological knowledge would certainly become the key leaders in the ancient world probably mating with the natural native leaders. Dolichocephalic skulls may have gradually reduced in size and prominence as intermarriage between the two continued. Royalty through the ages has declared divine right, the right of Kings to even kill their subjects.
The leaders possessing the advanced knowledge are known to us as Wira Kocha, Quetzalcoatl, Yahweh, Kukulcan, Osiris, Sargon of Agade, and Pharaohs such as Akhenaten who believed in one god. These leaders generally claimed the right to lead because they were the children of the gods and had the Divine Right to rule and choose who could live or die. They ordered the, temples, pyramids, and cities to be constructed. These may have had a purpose unknown to us today such as a power station as proposed by mechanical engineer Christopher Dunn who reverse-engineered the Great Pyramid at Giza to discover its use. He claims the Giza Pyramid is a technological remnant of a highly advanced pre-historic civilization? His startling conclusions destroy the traditional Egyptologist notion that it was built with copper tools by a society that lacked the wheel.
Christopher Dunn sees the pyramid as the power source that fueled a great civilization using the technology of harmonic resonance. The author shows how the pyramid’s numerous chambers and passageways were positioned with deliberate precision to maximize its acoustical qualities. This may be the same technology discovered by Nikola Tesla and the solution to our own clean energy needs. I ask where did primitive man suddenly gain the social organization, technology and workmanship to build the pyramids.
Dunn shows proof that giant stones were cut with machined tools and saws
The Island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea has prehistoric temples, some of the most ancient on the planet, which were built to have both astronomical and religious functions. There are also subterranean temples which have certain acoustic properties and some researchers even say could have been portals to other dimensions.
The Austrian artifact collector, Klaus Dona, has been to this island to do research concerning elongated skulls in historical museums on the island. There are also underwater archaeological structures here like a passage way and an arch.
In skull samples taken from Peru, several DNA markers associated with mental capacity showed similar traits to modern humans with IQ’s of over 140. This high intelligence and large size would tend to make these people into natural leaders. These are apparent ancestors that helped improve the human race.
Missile Defense Agency
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is the section of the United States government’sDepartment of Defenseresponsible for developing a layered defense against ballistic missiles. The agency has its origins in theStrategic Defense Initiative which was established in 1983 and was headed by Lt. General James Alan Abrahamson. Under the Strategic Defense Initiative’s Innovative Sciences and Technology Office, headed and engineer Dr. James Lonson, the investment was predominantly made in basic research at national laboratories, universities, and in industry.
These programs have continued to be key sources of funding for top research scientists in high-energy physics, supercomputing/computation, advanced materials, and critical science and engineering disciplines. The current commander is U.S. Navy Vice Admiral James D. Syring. These missiles could also be used to down UFOs and was often referred to as Star Wars. It is interesting to note that when President Reagan announced the program he offered to share it with the Soviet Union.
The Missile Defense Agency’s mission is to develop, test and prepare for deployment of a missile defense system. Using complementary interceptors, land-, sea-, air- and space-based sensors, and battle management command and control systems, the planned missile defense system will be able to engage all classes and ranges of ballistic missile threats. Our programmatic strategy is to develop, rigorously test, and continuously evaluate production, deployment and operational alternatives for the ballistic missile defense system. Missile defense systems being developed and tested by MDA are primarily based on hit-to-kill technology. It has been described as hitting a bullet with a bullet – a capability that has been successfully demonstrated in test after test.
Ballistic Missile Defense Systems (BMDS) must be able to be operated in different regions of the world in order for the success of the MDA mission.
BMDS is shared with key allies and partners. During the Cold War with the Soviet Union they had produced large numbers of ballistic missiles that could strike targets in the US. William Tomkins and other engineers helped develop early Missile Defense Systems that discouraged the Soviet Union from launching an attack.
Ballistic missile systems using advanced liquid- or solid- propellant propulsion are becoming more mobile, accurate and capable of striking targets over longer distances and are proliferating worldwide.
Arrow 3, a joint effort between the U.S. and Israel was launched in January 2014
Iran currently has short- and medium- range missiles with guidance systems. Iran’s launch of a medium range, solid fuel ballistic missile demonstrates its ability to hit targets in Israel and southern Europe. Iran also successfully launched the Safir Space Launch Vehicle on Feb 2, 2009. It was then speculated that development of an ICBM was not far behind. Intelligence reports that a missile could be built sometime between 2010 and 2015 perhaps using help from Russian and North Korean technology.
North Korea currently deploys a Nodong ballistic missile capable of hitting Japan and South Korea, and is developing a new intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) which could reach Guam and the Aleutian Islands. They also successfully demonstrated the staging and separation technologies required to launch a Taepo-Dong 2 ICBM which has the capability to reach the United States. MDA divides its systems into four phases, boost, ascent, mid-course and terminal, each corresponding to a different phase of the threat ballistic missile flight regime. Each phase offers different advantages and disadvantages to a missile defense system. The geography of each defended area dictates the types of systems that can be employed, thus the flexible and layered defense approach concept should improve overall defense effectiveness. The more opportunities you have to shoot it down, the better the chance of success.
The most advanced missile system on the planet can hunt and blast incoming missiles right out of the sky with a 100% success rate — and it appears to be headed to North Korea’s backyard, according to CNN.
On the heels of last month’s purported hydrogen-bomb test and a long-range rocket launch in February, the US has apparently agreed to equip South Korea with
THAAD’s protective range would almost eliminate all threats from North Korea. With its unmatched precision, Lockheed Martin’sTHAAD can equalize tensions around the world with its mobility and strategic battery-unit placement.
In order to deter North Korean provocations and further defend the Pacific region, the Pentagon deployed aTHAAD battery toGuam in April 2013.
However, after the rogue regime’s most recent launch, the US has reportedly agreed to deploy the THAAD to South Korea — which would counter almost all incoming missiles from North Korea.
The pressure to deploy THAAD is rapidly mounting, as US defense officials have cited North Korean missile developments that are attempting to build intercontinental missiles that could reach the United States.
In October, Admiral Bill Gortney, commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, assessed that North Korean has “the capability to reach the [US] homeland with a nuclear weapon from a rocket,” Discussions to equip South Korea with THAAD were held during South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s visit to the White House last October. The Korean Defense minister Han Min-koo said THAAD would be under the operational control of the USFK Seventh Air Force and the South Korean air force. THAAD’s Missiles
Activities are categorized in five “blocks”. For example, block 4.0 is “Defend Allies and Deployed Forces in Europe from Limited Iranian Long-Range Threats and Expand Protection of U.S. Homeland”. It included theUS missile defense complex in Poland to be constructed, and the European Mid-course Radar (EMR) currently located at the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site at Kwajalein Atoll, which was to be modified and relocated to the Czech Republic. That plan, however, was scrapped by the Obama administration on September 17, 2009. Thanks to Missile Defense Agency.
Jupiter Promises Surprises
This photo of Jupiter was taken on September 20, 2010 when Jupiter made its closest approach to Earth since 1963. (Uranus [insert] was visible through telescopes near Jupiter.).Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Fittingly, it was named after the king of the gods in Roman mythology. Jupiter helped revolutionize the way we saw the universe and ourselves in 1610, when Galileo discovered Jupiter’s four large moons — Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, now known as the Galilean moons that may house various forms of life. This was the first time celestial bodies were seen circling an object other than Earth, major support of the Copernican view that Earth was not the center of the universe.
Jupiter is the most massive planet in our solar system, more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined, and had it been about 80 times more massive, it would have actually become a star instead of a planet. Its atmosphere resembles that of the sun, made up mostly of hydrogen and helium, and with four large moons and many smaller moons in orbit around it, Jupiter by itself forms a kind of miniature solar system. All told, the immense volume of Jupiter could hold more than 1,300 Earths. Thanks to Jimmy Eubanks

Sightings in the United States
Arizona Triangle
Phoenix – It was about 10:30 PM, and it started to storm. I had been watching clips of UFO’s forming in storms so that’s what had glued my eyes to the skies, like I always do to look for such things. A fireball or glowing object appeared and hovered. This was the first time in 40 years I had seen such a sight. I followed the ball outside in the storm and filmed until it disappeared. A half hour later my girl and I witnessed more of the same craft appearing and then floating west. The craft have appeared nightly from June 26, to July1, 2016 so far. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Arkansas Light
Berryville — I was at a location performing duties for my job which included taking photos of subject properties on June 6, 2016. I took 16 photos of various subjects at this location and noticed that there was an object above a building in one of the photos after I had left the location.
It did not appear to be an airplane or any known aircraft. After noticing this object in the photo, I isolated the object in a photo editor and filtered the image to gain some perspective about what was in the photo. It appears to be an unidentifiable object. I did not notice this object when I was at this location but do know that there was no noise as one would expect with an airplane, helicopter, etc. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Light
Acton — My husband and I were taking the dogs out on July 3’rd 2016 at 9:30 p.m. when we saw just South of us by the Angeles Crest Forest a very bright white light growing in intensity and then dimming. My husband saw it first and called me out excitedly to see it. We scrambled around for our video recorders but batteries were dead. We did manage to take some long exposure pictures with our manual camera, which does not show the shape but captures the movement patterns as well as the intensity of the light. No shape was apparent until my husband viewed it through his infrared night vision scope. It was a Saturn-shaped craft that appeared translucent with tentacle-like ‘legs’ similar to a jellyfish. Its surface was dull lead grey but also cloud-like at times. There were three round lights on the craft. It was 500 feet from us, and lower than any plane but then moved higher and farther away. It had no path, bouncing around, up, down, sideways, circular, and hovering. All while this intense white light grew larger and brighter, then slowly died down. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Connecticut Lights
Wolcott — A couple was outside relaxing on their porch and noticed some fireworks July 2, 2016. They then noticed several groups of high flying yellow-red-orange objects flying rapidly to the southeast. The objects would appear and vanish in groups of two to four. Fifteen silent objects were seen in a twenty-minute period. Several photos were taken in the clear skies. The objects emitted constant light. The witnesses were familiar with helicopters and local air traffic and said that the objects were very different.
Note: A check of winds aloft showed that winds were from the Northwest in the lower 5,000 feet of the atmosphere at speeds of up to 30 MPH. The witnesses said that surface winds were very light. The movement of the objects would be consistent with flotation devices. The witnesses did not believe that the objects were Chinese lanterns. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Hawaii Light
Honolulu –– I was sitting on a beach in Hawaii at 10 PM, just looking up at the beautiful night sky as I do often. On June 26, 2016, at about 70 degrees in the horizon over the ocean I saw a green flashing light moving in the sky. I watched it for a few minutes just assuming it was an airplane, but when it started to change direction abruptly I started to film it. I became more and more shocked at what I was seeing. There was a green flashing light, not like any green I’ve ever seen on any airplane moving in a western direction.
Then it started to move back to the east with very abrupt movements. The video appears as if I’m moving the camera, but I am not, it is the object that is moving around so radically. It made a sudden switch to a red quickly flashing light from green. It was jetting around in the sky like nothing I’ve ever seen before and finally disappeared into the Eastern Sky.

Wauconda — I was waiting for the fireworks to start on July 3, 2016, and I was looking around and something caught my eye to the left. I looked and I noticed objects floating through the sky so I picked my phone up and started filming. The reddish glowing object did not move in a straight pattern. I was not scared at all and I thought it was cool. I thought they were a fleet of UFOs and they just disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maryland Triangle Close Encounter
Edgewater — The sighting happened a few miles south of Annapolis, MD on the early morning hours of Wednesday June 29th 2016. I had taken a vacation to Ocean City and left to go back home. I headed south on Route 2, and when I got past Edgewater I saw a very bright light in the sky. I at first thought it was a planet shining brightly, but looked more like a forward facing search light with some smaller lights around it. I kept watching low light and kept losing it behind the tree line. When I got closer to the light I saw two glowing balls of light come out of the bottom, drop down and fly off. Another ball of light dropped from the craft. I kept getting closer to the craft until I got directly under it and pulled off the road to look. It was only about 500 feet high, silent, air and took off at a high rate of speed. The craft looked like a triangle about 50-75 feet across with a large searchlight at the front and small lights at the corners facing down. I have lived near the Patuxent River Naval Air Station my entire life, where they test aircraft, and I can identify aircraft but have never seen a craft like that before.

New Mexico Disc
Deming — My partner and I were driving Route I10 from Las Cruces to Lordsburg and spotted three bright lights in the sky at about 9 pm.
They formed a triangle – the brightest was the one to the left. Around half an hour later, we noticed that they hadn’t moved at all. We first noticed the lights as they were very bright noticing them, as they weren’t appearing to move. We didn’t know what they were. We were on holiday in America from the UK taking photos of cool road signs. We were joking that it might be aliens as I was zooming in. When I got a better look at the zoomed photo, I got a shiver and started shaking. It looked like they had flames or trails coming from them. The two less bright lights seemed to blink off and the last and brightest one shot straight up into the air at speed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Objects
Miamisburg — I love to be outside on my porch and we are on the flight path of some aircraft heading into Dayton Airport and Wright Patterson Air Force Base. I used to fly when I could. On June 23, 2016, I was outside looking at the stars and saw what I thought was an inbound aircraft, It had a red light on the right like a directional light. As a white light was to the left of the red one, I thought landing light immediately, but soon realized that it was not near bright enough. I noticed the flight path was way too low and it got really close and stopped.The white light moved slightly left, appeared to get stringy, then moved up and down rapidly making the actual shape hard to determine. I am hollering for my son to come and he sees it make a straight line exit speeding up as it went. I was trying desperately to get pictures with no luck. The neighbor guys were sitting in their car while the craft was going almost over top of them. I asked if they saw that? He says, ” you mean that there? ” Yep it came back, flew straight and level, stopped , reversed direction and looked like it was sort of leaving a vapory string behind as it went. But the leading spot got laser red as it increased in speed. It was surreal.
Later, on July 2, 2016, in the far distance I see a red light starting to form a shape as it goes from far left to the right. They begin to travel to a distant point as they disappeared.There were some small white lights as well. I took a picture as they faded. At 11:17 pm, a white light was closer and higher up, so I take a picture but it disappeared quickly. My son asked me,why is it green? Then it came to me, some lights are incandescent some are mercury vapor. In the one photo, it may just be me, but I think I see counter rotation happening. When I took the photo all I saw was a white light momentarily move quickly and to the right and out.I believe it captures a transformation of matter or light itself into a cloaking phase shift.

Oregon Lights
Eugene– At 9:45 PM, on June 18, 2016, watching TV in Living room. To the right of my TV is my vaulted ceiling Dorm window. A super bright solid orange oval passes right through the window frame. A second exact same thing goes pass the window. Sure enough there was more coming from the west over the house tops. I ran back inside and pulled my wife out to see. She saw two coming at us from the west still in our direction. They were all in line and beginning to turn away towards as they neared. I asked my wife to get her cell as were still coming from the west toward us. I grabbed her phone and held the camera up way high as it flew above the trees. The shot is attached. I went back outside and my neighbor and his daughter was coming and also saw the objects as well. I called Eugene Police and 911 and asked both if anyone else reported anything. They said no.

Texas Object
I was out at the outdoor gun range 10:30 pm, I was able to see the type of cloud cover from the UFO appearing under the cloud. No sound, just a huge white circle of light at least two football fields across. It looked like a giant light bulb. This month was the first time ever it rained every day in Dallas and Fort Worth, this was history making. I stood there looking at it thinking I am getting ready to see what no one else has ever seen. It was going to come by me very close. I was going to be able to see the front and back. I was able to see it for five seconds then the light it went off, I looked down and saw a light on the ground in front of me. I realized they saw me. I left my head light on which was on top of my cap. I was even then more aggrieved at myself. Once I got to my camera I then said—Listen to this: ok you owe me for what you did two nights ago. I know you brought in the clouds so I could not see the moon. The next thing the cloud cover started opening up and I said I need five minutes I then took my camera and started taping the moon. I realized it was time for me to go. I am very Lucky to have been able to see that UFO very lucky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings
Family Photo of an Alien Craft over Argentina
La Rinconada — The members of a family from Cutral Co claim having been able to see an unidentified flying object (UFO) for fleeting seconds not far from Junín de los Andes on February 9,-2016. They took photographs of the event, which frightened them. The Cutral Co al Instante web portal conveyed the statements made by Verónica, one of the protagonists of the incredible story. She stopped on the banks of the Collon Cura River. Verónica says that she took a photo of a group of bikers crossing the bridge when she saw the strange object in the sty. “I screamed; everyone looked and we saw it some 50 meters away, for an instant, just when I took the photo. After that, it was no longer there,”she explained. Their initial reaction was to run and get into the car. “We took off immediately. We shut everything because it truly frightened us,” said the resident of Cutral Co, who shared the photo that went viral over the weekend through social media. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website
Australia Light Triangle
Mount Sheila — 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 three 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 three lights were approaching a single star so I double checked to see which lights were moving by identifying the positions of the nearby stars and building structures that were in my view. I could confirm that the three lights were moving and the single star, nearby stars and the building was stationary.
I stopped walking and continued to observe the three lights for several seconds as they passed over the single star. The single star remained visible as the triangle of three lights passed over it. About ten seconds later the three lights dimmed out until I could no longer see them in the sky any more. This further confirmed that the three 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 and didn’t see it any longer. The photo attached is from a Google search but is exactly what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Surrey, BC— Work colleague observed this object while traveling to work via a sky train line from Surrey on June 26, 2016.
I do not believe the UFO was visible by naked eye and only appeared on Android device Camera. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Marten Falls/Ogoki Post — I’m 24 and my two friends were just sitting outside of my house having a smoke, when one of my friends noticed it. He asked me “Do you know what that is? I replied, “Yes it’s a UFO with three white lights at each corner of the triangle.” As it flew over my house, I was in awe, excited, and amazed. I knew now we weren’t alone. The UFO just hovered overhead and made no noise at all. I chased it to the top of the hill and had sight of it until went into a cloud and disappeared. The cloud was not even that big. I watch Ancient Aliens and Hangar 1 UFO files and where I am located there is mining sites not too far from here. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Czech Republic Object
Boskovice — I found these objects recently when looking back on photos from a trip to the Czech Republic last year. I do not remember whether or not I was aware of the objects while the photos were taken, but I do seem to remember thinking they were quite odd.
They could have been birds, or perhaps foreign objects on the lens, but all pictures before and after do not have any such objects, and the passage of time in between the photos would suggest that these objects were not birds or known aircraft. The town where these photos were taken has some history of ufos and the paranormal, including a crop circle that appeared in 2014. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/North Wales Triangle
Tywyn — I have seen the most bizarre thing this afternoon over Tywyn in Gwynnedd, North Wales on July 6, 2016. We regularly see RAF and US jets training in the mountains and valleys here during the working week, and they frequently fly something called the ‘Mach Loop’ that is a well known circuit they follow.
However, today at 12:30 pm, we heard this weird humming noise in the sky almost like electro static energy or a sub-station would make. We look out over the sea and saw this weird looking triangle shaped craft. It was moving slowly about 5-10 mph about 200 meters off the coast like just to the south of Tywyn off the beach moving in a northern direction. I was walking my dogs in the sand dunes at the time. Now I am ex RAF and I have a very good knowledge of all military aircraft, but I have never seen anything like this. It was no drone or UAV and was the size of a RAF Typhoon fighter jet. As it moved up the coastline, it dropped two bright red colored glowing spheres down into the sea and they disappeared. I quickly got this shot on my iPhone of the craft as it moved off and just after I took this image. It stopped in mid air, moved upwards and then just disappeared. I called the coastguard, but they said nothing had been reported. I think this was a UFO because it was certainly nothing the Americans or we have in terms of military aircraft. It was intelligently controlled. My wife and I saw this as well as two other dog walkers’ one of which called the local police to report it. I definitely thing this is a UFO or something not from this world. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Wetenschappers aan de universiteit van Harvard hebben een robot ontwikkeld die hen meer inzicht moet verschaffen in de werking van het menselijk hart. De kunstmatige pijlstaartrog, die slechts een tiende zo groot is als de echte vis, beweegt zich voort dankzij hartcellen van een rat.
De wetenschappers hopen dat de robot nieuwe inzichten zal verschaffen in de manier waarop het hart bloed rondpompt en wat hartfalen kan veroorzaken.
"Het blijkt dat het spierstelsel van de pijlstaatrog hetzelfde moet doen als het hart: het moet vloeistoffen rondpompen," vertelt professor Kevin Kit Parker, die het onderzoek aan Harvard leidt.
Het team analyseerde en ontleedde de vis om te begrijpen hoe hij zich voortbeweegt in water. Vervolgens bouwden ze dit prototype, dat een gouden skelet heeft, omgeven door een laag van 200.000 hartcellen die verpakt zijn in een gelachtig materiaal dat vergelijkbaar is met de gel die gebruikt wordt voor borstimplantaten.
De kleine, synthetische pijlstaartrog weegt tien gram en is 1,6 centimeter lang.
De hartcellen werden genetisch gemanipuleerd zodat ze zouden reageren op licht. "Als we licht voor de rog houden, activeren we een elektrisch signaal in het weefsel en dat beweegt zich als een golf door het spierstelsel," aldus professor Parker. "Je krijgt een golfbeweging in de vinnen en het lijkt alsof [de rog, red.] het licht volgt."
Iedere helft van de robot is samengesteld uit verschillende hartcellen die gevoelig zijn aan specifieke lichtgolflengtes.
Aan de hand van de gekozen golflengte zijn de wetenschappers in staat om de robot in een bepaalde richting te bewegen.
De onderzoekers hopen dat de robotrog kan helpen om de fysiologie van het hart te begrijpen. "Op basis van onze handboeken fysiologie gaan we ervan uit dat een hart bij elke slag hetzelfde klopt," vertelt Parker aan de BBC. "Maar als je met cardiovasculaire chirurgen praat, dan zouden ze je zeggen 'nee, het klopt altijd anders'."
Hetzelfde laboratorium ontwikkelde eerder al een artificiële kwal.
Een internationaal team van astronomen heeft een nieuwe dwergplaneet ontdekt in de buitenste regionen van ons zonnestelsel. Het object van ruwweg 700 kilometer groot, tot een echte naam is bepaald aangeduid als RR245, maakt deel uit van de gordel 'ijsklompen' ver voorbij Neptunus.
De ontdekking is gedaan met de telescoop op de vulkaan Mauna Kea op Hawaii. "De ijswerelden voorbij Neptunus geven een beeld van hoe de reuzenplaneten zijn gevormd en daarna van de zon af bewogen. Ze helpen ons de geschiedenis van ons zonnestelsel te reconstrueren. Maar al die ijzige objecten zijn erg klein en vaag. Daarom is het zo opwindend er een te vinden die groot en helder genoeg is om in detail te bestuderen'', zei de Canadese astronoom Michele Bannister.
RR245 staat tot wel 120 keer verder van de zon dan de aarde en beschrijft een sterk elliptische baan, die de komende jaren precies wordt berekend. Dan wordt ook meer duidelijk over het oppervlak en de samenstelling. Van de tot dusver bekende dwergplaneten zijn Pluto en Eris de grootsten.
STERRENKUNDE De ruimtetelescoop Hubble is er voor het eerst in geslaagd een foto te maken van de binnenzijde van de Krabnevel. De nevel bestaat uit de spectaculaire restanten van een supernova op zo'n 6.500 lichtjaren van onze aarde.
Zo'n duizend jaar geleden explodeerde er een ster in de constellatie Taurus (Stier). Het licht was zo helder dat het wekenlang zelfs overdag zichtbaar was.
In de loop der jaren zwakte het licht af en intussen is het enkel nog met een telescoop waarneembaar. Maar de overblijfselen van de supernova vormen wel een van de meest spectaculaire objecten in onze Melkweg: de Krabnevel.
Regenboog
In de kern van de nevel bevindt zich een neutronenster - dat is een ster in het eindstadium van zijn leven - die liefst 30 keer per seconde roteert. Daardoor blaast de dode ster nog steeds leven in de materie eromheen. De Hubble-foto brengt dat op indrukwekkende wijze in beeld.
De buitengewone foto is samengesteld uit drie hogeresolutiebeelden. De snelle bewegingen van de gassen rond de ster zijn zichtbaar als een regenboog van kleuren. "Dat effect ontstaat door de beweging van het materiaal in de periode tussen één beeld en een ander", staat te lezen in een persbericht.

Complottheoreticus die in gedaanteverwisselende aliens gelooft staat in Australië voor uitverkochte zalen
Complottheoreticus die in gedaanteverwisselende aliens gelooft staat in Australië voor uitverkochte zalen
David Icke is momenteel in Australië, waar hij voor uitverkochte zalen vertelt dat 9/11 een inside job was en dat de maan een ruimtestation is. In gesprek met News.com.au stelt de 64-jarige Icke dat de aanslagen in 2001 in New York onderdeel waren van een groot plan om het volk onder controle te houden.
Hij meent dat de aanslagen zijn uitgevoerd door de Amerikaanse overheid om de oorlog tegen terrorisme te kunnen rechtvaardigen. “Hoeveel mensen weten dat op dezelfde dag, op 11 september 2001, militaire oefeningen werden gehouden waarbij vliegtuigen werden gekaapt en in een gebouw in Washington werden gevlogen?” vroeg Icke.
Verslaafd aan technologie
Toen werd gemeld dat bij het World Trade Center een paspoort van een kaper was gevonden, wist hij zeker dat het hele gebeuren in scène was gezet. “De FBI had een paspoort van één van de kapers gevonden naast één van de Twin Towers,” zei hij. “Dat is te belachelijk voor woorden. Een paspoort bestaat uit papier. Zie je die vuurbal?”
Toen Icke zijn Worldwide Wake Up Tour zaterdag begon in Perth, sprak hij uitvoerig over slimme technologie. “Waar we op den duur naartoe gaan is dat er technologie in ons lichaam wordt geïmplanteerd,” vertelde hij aan News.com.au. “Het eerste stadium: maak mensen verslaafd aan technologie die ze kunnen vasthouden. Stadium twee: draagbare technologie. Google Glass, smartwatches. Stadium drie: implantaten.”
Geprogrammeerd
Die implantaten kunnen volgens Icke worden gebruikt om het menselijk brein te beïnvloeden. Dat gebeurt volgens hem overigens al vanaf onze geboorte. “Je komt uit de baarmoeder en gelijk wordt je perceptie beïnvloed door je ouders, die al hun hele leven in het systeem hebben geleefd,” zei hij. “En al snel kom je in een systeem terecht waarin autoriteiten bepalen wat je kunt eten, wanneer je ergens naartoe mag, wanneer je mag spreken en wat echt is en wat niet.”
Je wordt als het ware geprogrammeerd, aldus Icke. En als je buiten de gebaande paden treedt, ben je vreemd of eng. Hij zegt geregeld te horen te krijgen dat mensen hem vreemd vinden. Dat weerhoudt hem er echter niet van om zijn boodschap te blijven verspreiden. Meer informatie over zijn tour is te vinden op www.theworldwidewakeup.com.
ONBEKEND OBJECT KOMT ATMOSFEER AARDE BINNEN (VIDEO)
ONBEKEND OBJECT KOMT ATMOSFEER AARDE BINNEN (VIDEO)
Afgezien van alle andere misschien nuttige zaken die worden uitgevoerd in het ISS, het internationale ruimtestation, zijn de opnames van daaruit ook vaak interessant.
Zo werd er deze week een onbekend object vastgelegd dat zich richting aarde bewoog en op het moment dat het object halt hield, deed NASA de camera uit.
Het is wederom de bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1 die weer eens iets bijzonders heeft geconstateerd.
Dit keer is het een opname gemaakt door de camera’s op het ISS, waarbij heel duidelijk zichtbaar een vreemd onbekend object afdaalt richting de atmosfeer van de aarde.
Misschien is het object dat uit de ruimte neerdaalt richting aarde niets bijzonders; wie weet is het een meteoriet of een Chinese satelliet of iets dergelijks.
Zoals te zien in de video, stopt het object op een gegeven moment met de afdaling. Dat is natuurlijk vreemd, maar niet alleen dat, op het moment dat het object stopt of lijkt te stoppen, verbreekt NASA de verbinding en krijgen kijkers een mededeling voorgeschoteld dat ze problemen hebben met de verbinding.
Gezien alle eerdere pogingen van NASA om zaken vanuit het ISS verborgen te houden, vermoeden wij dat het hier toch om iets meer gaat dan alleen een meteoriet.
GELUIDSOPNAME VAN ONTMOETING TURKSE BEMANNING BOEING 737 MET UFO
GELUIDSOPNAME VAN ONTMOETING TURKSE BEMANNING BOEING 737 MET UFO
Er zijn opgeteld vele waarnemingen gemeld van UFO's door professionele cockpitbemanningen.
Vaak gaat het dan om verklaringen die verder niet ondersteund worden door beeld of geluid van het moment van de gebeurtenis. Als dat er wel is dan is daarmee eigenlijk uitgesloten dat er misinterpretaties zijn.
De waarneming van de piloten van Turkish Airlines was echter een dag later, op 20 mei 2016 tijdens een vlucht met een Boeing 737 van Bodrum naar Istanboel.
Op een hoogte van 17.000 voet rapporteerden beide vliegers een groen licht dat hun baan kruiste en met een hoogteverschil van een paar duizend voet over hen heen vloog. Het voorval gebeurde rond half twaalf ’s nachts toen het vliegtuig bezig was met de nadering van het vliegveld van Istanboel.
Wat de waarneming bijzonder maakt is dat beide vliegers dit zagen en dat beiden zeiden dat ze vermoedden dat ze te maken hadden met een UFO.
Dat is iets wat in Turkije kennelijk wel kan. Daar kunnen piloten klaarblijkelijk gewoon vertellen wat ze zien, zonder dat ze bang hoeven zijn om hun baan kwijt te raken. Dit zien we KLM piloten voorlopig nog niet doen.
De verkeersleiding zegt echter niets op de radarschermen te hebben gezien op die bewuste avond.
Wat ze die avond precies zagen, is te zien in de volgende reconstructie.
Volgens een aantal bronnen is de volgende video een originele geluidsopname tussen de bemanning van de Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 met registratie TC-JHD en de verkeerstoren op het moment dat ze de UFO rapporteren.
Alhoewel de officiële voertaal in de luchtvaart Engels is, wordt er waarschijnlijk in alle opwinding Turks gesproken waardoor het geheel iets minder goed te verstaan is.
Maar, waar het om gaat, is dat we hier bewijs hebben dat een professionele bemanning van een verkeersvliegtuig dingen ziet vliegen in de lucht die er officieel niet horen te zijn.
Just an amazing eyewitness testimony about a Karl Wolfe having seen with his own eyes structure on Earths moon. The buildings he describes match a lot of the structures that UFO researchers have been finding and reporting to the public over the years. Especially interesting is the mushroom-like buildings. Yeah...how much evidence is enough? How many eyewitnesses is enough? What status does the eyewitness have to be to be enough for the world to believe? Presidents have seen UFOs and given their testimonies, astronauts have done it too. So, is there a Schwarzschild radius for disclose? Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com UFO Case Book States:
The following account has been addressed several times before, and I have had it in my notes for quite some time. The recent interest in the Space program, and questions about our future goals in space have caused me to dust it off. I believe it will be of interest to our viewers. This extraordinary story comes to us from one Karl Wolfe. Wolfe worked for the Director of Intelligence at Headquarters Tactical Air Command, Technical Group. The fantastic events explained here occurred while he was stationed at Langley Field, Virginia. Langley Field was center for information received from the Lunar Orbiter Project. Satellite receivers from around the world waited for information from the Orbiter, and it was then channeled to Langley, where the information was transformed into photographic images, and other top-secret data. The photographic imaging was done at a secure military lab ran by NSA. In an interview for UFO magazine, Wolfe asserted that he was one of only two technicians at Langley with high enough security clearance to work with the high-tech photographic equipment which processed info from U-2 spy planes, and other military intelligence hardware. Wolfe, in his own words: ... At any rate, I was in a color lab one day when my boss, Staff Sergeant Taylor, came over to me and said that they were having a problem with some equipment on the base an it was the first lunar orbiter program, where thy had a mission to pretty much locate the first landing sites for the 1969 lunar mission for the astronauts. So he said they were having some problem with equipment over there. it was similar equipment to what we had- it was computerized contact printing equipment. He wanted to know if I would go over and take a look at it. He said to me, It's an NSA facility. At the time, I didn't Know what the NSA was--I was pretty naive. I thought he said NASA. So in my mind, for a long time I thought it was a NASA facility that I had gone to, but I remembered him saying NSA and converting it in my own mind to NASA... Wolfe claims that one day when NSA photographic equipment failed, he was called in to assist them with the critical repair work needed to keep the machines on the job. Coincidentally, Wolfe was the only individual available at the time trained in the type of equipment that had failed. He normally would be crossing lines by venturing into NSA territory. His security clearance status was raised to enable him to even enter the highly secure laboratory. Wolfe's heart raced as he entered the here-to-fore forbidden hangar that day, and he was shocked to see the frantic activity in the lab, activities carried out by individuals of many different nations. Wolfe had naturally thought that only American citizens would be in the NASA lab, but there were many individuals with guest name tags on, and obviously from foreign countries present this day, inferring that they were there on a temporary basis for some special occasion. He felt a sense of panic as to his mission. Whatever he was called in for was of the utmost importance. He was told that the equipment in question was in a nearby dark room. As he was led into the room, only the red glow of a safety light greeted him at first, but in a moment, he could make out the figure of one airman who manned the dark room. Wolfe knew that the image processing equipment would have to be removed to be repaired, and he also knew that the diagnostics on this type of equipment would take some time to finish. Arrangements were quickly made for the photographic equipment to be taken to another secure location for Wolfe to begin the painstaking task of troubleshooting the problem. As Wolfe waited for transport to arrive, he began to chat with the other airman. Wolfe carefully asked why the NASA work was being done at Langley and not NASA in Houston. It was then that he was told that all of the NASA image information was downloaded to Langley, enhanced and made into the finished photographs that were then studied by different branches of the Armed Forces. The dark room attendant began to explain to Wolfe just what all the secrecy was about. Wolfe was told that recent enhanced images had surprisingly, yet clearly shown structures on the surface of the dark side of the Moon. Structures that definitely were not created by natural means, such as meteors, or ancient collisions with other heavenly bodies. The structures were created by intelligent beings. "We discovered," the airman said, "a base of the back side of the Moon." Wolfe was obviously stunned by this extraordinary disclosure. He remembers literally "shaking" trying to take in the enormity of what he had been told. Seeing Wolfe's disbelief, the dark room attendant continued; "Yes, a base on the dark side of the Moon." Although the attendant had not actually said that the structures were not created by inhabitants of Earth, it seemed to go without saying. Wolfe was still in amazement as he was now looking down at the very photographs he was trying to envision in his mind. Bending down under the red glowing lamp, he was seeing what so very few would see. He could clearly make out geometric shapes, well organized, and well designed. Most noticeable to him were what looked exactly like radar antennas, very similar to what one could see on Earth. There was no doubt now in Wolfe's mind why the odd complement of scientists and investigators were in attendance at this place on this day. They had arrived to see and study what he was looking at now; structures made by intelligent beings on the Moon. Questions flooded his mind now; Could Russia have made these structures, putting the first flag on the lunar surface? Could this be a joint venture of some kind? If so, by whom? Americans and aliens? Whomever was the creator, Wolfe felt like he had been caught stealing, or with his hand in the cookie jar. He was NOT supposed to see these photographs. He could be arrested, or worse. He just wanted to do his job, leave, and never mention it again. Wolfe did finish the job he was commissioned to do, keeping the memories of that day dormant in his mind, and went on with his life. Wolfe, however, was haunted by the images he saw that day for many years to come. After he left the active service, his security clearance prohibited him from leaving the United States for five years, and he was sworn to keep what he had seen to himself. It would be thirty years before he told anyone about that unforgettable day. For the year that Wolfe saw the remarkable structures on the dark side of the Moon was 1965, four years before Neil Armstrong put the first footprint on the lunar surface. Or was it the first?
With the economic crisis and daily challenging obligations that take most people’s time, money, and energy, the average person is not that concerned about extraterrestrials and UFOs. However, if more attention was paid to the topic, the public may be intrigued over the relevance of the topic to the world affairs. As a matter of fact, humans would be probably shocked to uncover the misconceptions that have been spread about them intentionally.
Spotted and recorded by a security guard in Alaska, the four-minute footage shows a large brightly-glowing light flying in the clear night. The strange object glows brightly and then fades, later on, flashing before turning orange. Before it disappeared, the object fragments and a there is an appearance of a circular light zooming out. Halfway through the clip, the primary circular light divides into three smaller objects to form a perfectly shaped triangle. People who saw the object were left flabbergasted due to its odd apparition effects that are apparent in the sky.
According to one YouTube user Mike Samoyloff, the strange object looked drone at the first phase. However, as it gets closer, it appeared something different. William Cleary added that such object looks similar to the object seen in Colorado, US. The strange flashing object seems to be an odd star. Even before this sighting occurred, sightings of UFOs are very much common in secluded areas like mountainous regions of Colorado and Alaska since low light pollution makes the night sky very easy to observe.
As sightings continue to rise, and questions increase, just know that truth is always around to this worldwide phenomena. The more you are serious about this subject, the more you will realize that more and more people saw the same things, but due to lack of resources, timing or other circumstances, they were not able to get clear resolutions.
Child Witness Speaks Up About Zimbabwe UFO Encounter
Child Witness Speaks Up About Zimbabwe UFO Encounter
On September 16, 1994, one of the most popular UFO encounters involving a group of children had taken place. On the outskirts of the Zimbabwe capital, around 60 children ages from 5 to 12 years were playing outside their school building when they noticed a giant spaceship and a group of smaller craft over them.
When the spacecraft landed on one of the sides of their playground, the children claimed to have seen strange beings from the ships which approached them. The children estimated the entire encounter lasted approximately 15 minutes.
One of those children was a young student named Emily Trim. She was at the Ariel primary school close to the town of Ruwa in the country. Until today, Emily says the incident still affects her. Emily stated that she was just a few feet away from the strange beings, which she believed gave her messages.
She has been making painting and drawing of images that she believes manifestations of messages she acquired.
Emily recalled that she was playing with other schoolchildren during recess when they heard a high pitch frequency sound. They then saw a flash and a craft. Two beings were reportedly hopping along beside Emily and her friend Lisa. These entities looked curious and somewhat mimicked them.
All of a sudden, they were in front of the children – about arm’s reach. The children were frozen, and Emily claimed that telepathic images began across her face. She described the encounter as communication through the eyes.

The Pleurobot is a salamander-inspired robot that can walk and swim like an amphibian.

With the help of X-ray videos, scientists have developed a new robot that mimics the way salamanders walk and swim.
The amphibious machine could shed light on the evolutionary leap that vertebrates made from the water to the land, the researchers said. The salamander-inspired robot could also one day be used for search-and-rescue missions or inspection operations, the scientists added.
In general, scientists investigate animal locomotion for insights that could, among other things, help people recover from devastating losses of mobility, said study senior author Auke Ijspeert, a bioroboticist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. [The 6 Strangest Robots Ever Created]
Increasingly, scientists are creating robot copies of animals to perform such investigations of animal locomotion. One of the benefits of using robots is that the machines' actions are relatively easy to repeat, Ijspeert and his colleagues said. In addition, researchers can tinker with robot shapes in a methodical way, and the bots can perform movements that are unnatural or dangerous for animals, the scientists added.
The researchers focused on salamanders to shed light on the evolution of animal locomotion. "Salamanders have a body structure that is very close to the fossils of the first terrestrial vertebrates — that is, the first animals that switched from swimming to walking," Ijspeert told Live Science.
To create robo-salamanders, the researchers began by studyingPleurodeles waltl, a salamander about 7 inches (18 centimeters) long that moves both on land and in the water. The scientists took X-ray videos of two P. waltl specimens from the top and sides, tracking up to 64 points along the skeletons of the salamanders as they performed a variety of motions, such as walking on the ground, crawling underwater and even swimming.
The scientists then used a 3D printer to manufacture the skeleton of the robot. Onto this machine, they added 27 motors and a waterproof dry suit that was tailor-made to keep the robots' electronics from getting wet.
The so-called Pleurobot has fewer bones and joints than real-life salamanders. For instance, whereas the real amphibian has 40 vertebrae, the robot has only 11 segments along its spine mimicking vertebrae. [Super-Intelligent Machines: 7 Robotic Futures]
Still, the researchers said Pleurobot could imitate many salamander movements, especially at the limbs. This is because during the design of Pleurobot, the research team's computer models identified the minimum number of motorized segments needed to copy salamander motions, as well as the optimal placement of these parts along the robot's body.
The researchers have built salamander robots before. However, "what excites me most about Pleurobot is that for the first time we can test behaviors with a physical body that has the ability to move like the real animal, as never before," Ijspeert said.
"The robot can serve as a scientific tool to investigate how a newer mode of locomotion, walking with limbs, can be added to an older mode of locomotion, swimming," Ijspeert said. "Like the real salamander, the robot is able to perform both modes of locomotion. Both involve body undulations, but with different properties. During swimming, the undulations travel along the body like in lampreys and eels, with limbs folded backwards, while during walking, they stay in place and are well-coordinated with the limb movements in order to optimize forward speed."
In addition to providing insights on the evolution of animal locomotion, Pleurobot may also show how robots can move well in disorderly environments, Ijspeert said. "With improved control and sturdier mechanics, I hope to see Pleurobot helping in search-and-rescue scenarios in the near future," he said.
The scientists detailed their findings online June 29 in the journal Interface.
Mars' two moon,s Phobos (shown here) and Deimos, may have formed from a ring of debris around the Red Planet. Larger moons formed in the same debris ring may have crashed into Mars.

The moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, may be the only survivors of a giant impact that created many short-lived, but now-absent moons around the Red Planet, a new study finds.
Phobos and Deimos are both small for moons — about 14 and 7.7 miles (22.5 and 12.4 kilometers) wide, respectively — and sort of potato-shaped. Compared to other satellites in the solar system, they look more like asteroids. As a result, astronomers previously hypothesized that these moons were asteroids captured by Mars' gravitational pull.
But if that were the case, previous research suggested that Phobos and Deimos would have relatively irregular orbits. In reality, these moons have nearly circular orbits positioned near the Martian equator. [Photos of Mars' Moon Phobos Up Close]
This diagram shows the collision model for the formation of Mars' two moons. A giant collision (top left) creates a disk of material around Mars (top right), and large moons emerge from the disk of material. More moons form. Eventually, the large moons fall back into Mars, and two small moons remain.

Another possible origin story for the Martian moons is that they coalesced from the debris of a giant impact, similar to the one largely thought to have formed Earth's moon. This rubble would have first formed a ring around Mars, and as moons emerged from this ring, they would have ended up with similarly circular orbits. However, this possibility raises the question of why Mars would end up with two moons instead of a single moon like Earth did, according to the new research paper.
To learn more about the potential origins of Phobos and Deimos,study lead author Pascal Rosenblatt, lead author on the new study, and a planetary scientist at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Brussels, and his colleagues investigated scenarios "left on the side until now," Rosenblatt told Space.com. "I rapidly discovered they were left not always for justified reasons."
The scientists focused on the huge impact that previous research suggested created the gigantic Borealis basin in the northern lowlands of Mars, which covers two-fifths of the Red Planet's surface. Prior work suggested that this basin is an impact crater, created when an impactor about 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers) wide struck Mars, generating a ring of debris around the Red Planet with a mass of about 110 quadrillion tons (100 quadrillion metric tons), or about 10,000 times the combined mass of Phobos and Deimos.
The research team's computer models suggested that, over time, in the inner part of this debris ring where the rubble was most densely packed, large moons up to hundreds of miles in diameter would have clumped or accreted together. In contrast, in the outer part of the debris ring, dust and rocks were thinly dispersed, making it difficult for this material to accrete into moons.
However, the scientists found that gravitational tugs from one or more large moons from the inner debris ring could have stirred up rubble in the outer ring, shepherding rock and dust to form smaller outer moons, such as Phobos and Deimos. The researchers calculated that after about 5 million years, Mars' gravitational pull would have doomed the other moons, sending them crashing to the Red Planet's surface and leaving Phobos and Deimos as the sole survivors.
"Our results pave a new path to re-understand the Martian system in a context of formation similar but not identical to [that of] our own moon," Rosenblatt told Space.com.
After a large moon forms from the disk of material around Mars (following a collision with a second body), the gravitational influence of that large body spurs the formation of smaller moons, like Phobos and Deimos.

If a giant impact did create the Martian moons and the Borealis basin, that might help explain many other aspects of early Martian history, such as how Mars got its current rate of spin and lost its atmosphere and surface water, Rosenblatt said.
Although the orbit of Deimos is stable, previous research found that Phobos will one day crash against Mars as well. Indeed, a 2015 study found that Phobos already has stretch marks from the Red Planet's gravitational pull.
This model suggests that Phobos and Deimos are composed of a mix of material from Mars and the impactor that created the Borealis basin. Future research can test this model by returning samples from Phobos or Deimos to Earth for study, Rosenblatt said. He noted that Japan's space agency, JAXA, and the European Space Agency (ESA) are considering missions to these moons that "could be launched as soon as 2022 or 2024."
The scientists detailed their findings online July 4 in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Cosmic Fireworks: Hubble Snaps Stunning Photo of 'Skyrocket' Galaxy

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of the dwarf galaxy Kiso 5639, which from this angle resembles a skyrocket, with a blazing head and a long, star-studded tail.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning view of a fireworks display blazing up in deep space.
The celestial show comes courtesy of the dwarf galaxy Kiso 5639, which lies 82 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major and hosts a frenzy of star birth.
"The dwarf galaxy is shaped like a flattened pancake, but because it is tilted edge-on, it resembles a skyrocket, with a brilliant blazing head and a long, star-studded tail," officials with the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which operates Hubble's science program, wrote in a statement.
The majority of Kiso 5639's star-forming action is taking place in the galaxy's head, which is about 2,700 light-years wide. This ramped-up star birth has apparently been triggered by the accretion of gas in this region from surrounding space, researchers said.
The dwarf galaxy's head also features a number of large "holes," which are cavities in the gas blasted out by powerful supernova explosions.
Elongated galaxies such as Kiso 5639 are known as "tadpoles." There were much more abundant in the universe's early days than they are today, scientists said.
Hubble : Do You Know the Famous Space Telescope?
Hubble has revolutionized astronomers' understanding of the universe since its April 1990 launch.
"I think Kiso 5639 is a beautiful, up-close example of what must have been common long ago," Debra Elmegreen, of Vassar College in New York, said inthe same statement. "The current thinking is that galaxies in the early universe grow from accreting gas from the surrounding neighborhood. It's a stage that galaxies, including our Milky Way, must go through as they are growing up."
Elmegreen is lead author of a new study that's based on observations of Kiso 5639 Hubble made with its Wide Field Camera 3 instrument. The paper has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.
The new photo, which was released on June 28, combines Hubble images taken in February 2015 and July 2015.
How Can the Universe Expand Faster Than the Speed of Light?
How Can the Universe Expand Faster Than the Speed of Light?
By Paul Sutter, Astrophysicist
As dark energy causes the universe to expand ever-faster, it may spur some very distant galaxies to apparently move faster than the speed of light. This Hubble Deep Field Image shows some of the most distant galaxies ever observed.

How can the universe expand faster than light travels?
It seems like it should be illegal, doesn’t it? Over and over (and over and over) we're told the supreme iron law of the universe: Nothing — absolutely nothing— can go faster than the speed of light. Done. Nothing further needs to be said about the issue.
And then come the astronomers, always excited by the chance to mess up your comfort zone. They come barging in with a simple observation: Some galaxies are moving away from us…wait for it…faster than the speed of light. What gives?
The big picture
First off, it's important to note that we live in an expanding universe. Every day the galaxies get farther apart from each other — on average. There are slight motions on top of that general expansion, leading to instances such as the Andromeda Galaxy heading on a collision course for the Milky Way. But in general, in the biggest of pictures, the galaxies are getting farther away from each other.
A key feature of this expansion is how uniform it is. Imagine a bunch of folks standing around the edges of a stretchy piece of fabric, tugging at it. Let us assume they're choreographed well and are able to walk backward and pull at the same rate. You, standing in the middle, would correctly observe that your "universe" is expanding: any objects placed on that fabric would slowly move away from you.
Because stretchy stuff is stretchy, the objects on the fabric close to you would appear to move away with some speed, but the farther objects would appear to move faster. Even though the folks doing the pulling are moving at a constant speed, the apparent stretch changes with distance. I swear this is true; you can even try it for yourself at home!
Now, let's jump to the universe. It's as if a bunch of folks are at the edge of the cosmos, gently tugging at the fabric of space-time, stretching it. Edwin Hubble was the first to measure the expansion rate. The number he got was way wrong, so I won't bother mentioning it, but good on him for trying. The more modern value is 68 kilometers per second per megaparsec, plus or minus a couple, but close enough.
I know, I know. You were probably following along just fine until that odd "per megaparsec" popped up. It's a distance: One megaparsec is 1 million parsec, which is 3.26 million light-years.
It means that if you look at a galaxy 1 megaparsec away, it will appear to be receding away from us at 68 km/s. If you look at a galaxy 2 megaparsec away, it recedes at 136 km/s. Three megaparsec away? You got it! 204 km/s. And on and on: for every megaparsec, you can add 68 km/s to the velocity of the far-away galaxy.
Over the limit
So it's easy enough to compute: At some point, at some obscene distance, the speed tips over the scales and exceeds the speed of light, all from the natural, regular expansion of space.
Yes, the movement of that galaxy can be interpreted as a "speed": you can measure the distance to it, wait awhile (to be fair, a really, really long while), and measure it again. Distance moved divided by time equals speed, and I guarantee you that the speed you measure can be faster than light.
The notion of the absolute speed limit comes from special relativity, but who ever said that special relativity should apply to things on the other side of the universe? That's the domain of a more general theory. A theory like…general relativity.
It's true that in special relativity, nothing can move faster than light. But special relativity is a local law of physics. Or in other words, it's a law of local physics. That means that you will never, ever watch a rocket ship blast by your face faster than the speed of light. Local motion, local laws.
But a galaxy on the far side of the universe? That's the domain of general relativity, and general relativity says: who cares! That galaxy can have any speed it wants, as long as it stays way far away, and not up next to your face.
It goes deeper than this. Concepts like a well-defined "velocity" make sense only in local regions of space. You can only measure something's velocity and actually call it a "velocity" when it's nearby and when the rules of special relativity apply. Stuff super-duper far away, like the galaxies we're talking about it? If it's not close, it doesn't count as a “velocity” in the way that special relativity cares about.
Special relativity doesn't care about the speed — superluminal or otherwise — of a distant galaxy. And neither should you.
NASA's supercomputer Pleiades has been upgraded to help it run higher simulations that could shed light on the origin of stars. And they've got even bigger plans for the future.
PLEIADES UPGRADED
One of the most powerful computers in the world, NASA’s Pleiades, just got a massive upgrade. “Another 14 racks containing Intel Broadwell processors were incorporated into Pleiades on July 1, bringing the total number of Broadwell racks to 28 and increasing the theoretical peak performance of Pleiades from 6.28 to 7.25 petaflops,” they reported on their website.
Astrophysicists at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLNL) need all the computing power they can get in order to run simulations that will lead to a more profound understanding of the origin of stars, and star clusters in our galaxy and beyond.
The NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) facility at Ames Research Center combines data from the Hubble Space Telescope as well as other observatories with the capabilities of Pleiades, which runs on state-of-the-art 3D code ORION2.
“Our simulations, run on Pleiades and brought to life by the visualization team at the NAS facility at Ames, were critical to obtain important new results that match with Hubble’s high-resolution images and other observations made by a variety of space and Earth-based telescopes,” says Richard Klein, adjunct professor at UC Berkeley and astrophysicist at LLNL.
Watch this simulation of the evolution of a giant molecular cloud over 700,000 years, made possible by the Pleiades.
“Without NASA’s vast computational resources, it would not have been possible for us to produce these immense and complex simulations that include all the output variables we need to get these new results and them compare with observations,” Klein explained.
MORE UPGRADES TO COME
According to NASA, ORION2 has been consistent thus far. “The ORION2 simulations incorporate a complex mix of gravity, supersonic turbulence, hydrodynamics (motion of molecular gas), radiation, magnetic fields, and highly energetic gas outflows. The science team conducted many independent tests of each piece of physics in ORION against known data to demonstrate the code’s accuracy.”
To go further with their study, Pleiades has been upgraded in order to run higher resolution simulations of star formations, which could also help shed light on planetary formation.
“Higher resolution in the simulations will enable us to study the details of the formation of stellar disks formed around protostars. These disks allow mass to transfer onto the protostars as they evolve, and are thought to be the structures within which planets eventually form,” said Klein.
And based on their statement, the aforementioned upgrad es definitely won’t be the last for Pleiades: “Achieving this goal will require at least double the amount of processor time on Pleiades and several hundred terabytes of storage over the next couple of years,” NASA states.
WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO: Underground nuclear explosion near Dulce, New Mexico in 1967:
It’s about the likelihood that the government conducted tests on radiation by selectively choosing particular cows in the Dulce area, beginning in the mid 1970s. This type of research may have involved analyses of certain organs and tissues and may also have involved clandestine operations utilizing some prototypes of unmanned aerial vehicles or even unmarked helicopters.
But more important than that, there is a lingering problem that must be dealt with, i.e., the lingering physical effect on Native Americans from that 1967 experiment, as one can see from the high rate of cancer as well as problems withinfertility among women in the Dulce area. This type of condition may continue through the next generation of residents that were affected.

It's Official! NASA Pluto Probe to Fly by Another Object in 2019
It's Official! NASA Pluto Probe to Fly by Another Object in 2019
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

NASA's New Horizons Pluto probe isn't done exploring the far outer solar system just yet.
NASA has approved a mission extension for New Horizons, which performed the first-ever flyby of Pluto in July 2015. The spacecraft is now set for a Jan. 1, 2019 flyby of a small object called 2014 MU69, which lies about 1 billion miles (1.6 billion kilometers) beyond Pluto in the dark and frigid Kuiper Belt.
"The New Horizons mission to Pluto exceeded our expectations, and even today the data from the spacecraft continue to surprise," Jim Green, NASA’s Director of Planetary Science, said in a statement Friday (July 1). "We’re excited to continue onward into the dark depths of the outer solar system to a science target that wasn’t even discovered when the spacecraft launched." [Destination Pluto: NASA's New Horizons Mission in Pictures]
Though 2014 MU69 and Pluto occupy roughly the same realm of space, they are very different objects. For example, Pluto is 1,474 miles (2,372 km) wide, whereas 2014 MU69 is thought to be just 13 to 25 miles (21 to 40 km) across.
"This places [2014 MU69] in a key intermediate size regime to better understand planetary accretion," New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern wrote in a blog post in April, when the New Horizons team officially submitted the mission extension proposal. "And given its 4-plus-billion-year existence in cold storage so far from the sun, MU69 will be the most pristine object ever visited by any space mission."
New Horizons should come within 1,900 miles (3,000 km) of 2014 MU69 during the 2019 flyby, Stern wrote — about four times closer than the probe got to Pluto during last year's historic encounter.
"If I do say so myself, the flyby of MU69 would be a landmark event, shattering all distance records for deep-space exploration, and yielding an impressive scientific bounty," added Stern, who's based at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.
While New Horizons will keep zooming outward, NASA's Dawn spacecraft will stay put at the dwarf planet Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, agency officials announced today.
“The long-term monitoring of Ceres, particularly as it gets closer to perihelion — the part of its orbit with the shortest distance to the sun — has the potential to provide more significant science discoveries than a flyby of Adeona," Greensaid in the same statement.
A visit to Adeona would have marked the third cosmic body studied up-close by Dawn, which also orbited the protoplanet Vesta from July 2011 through September 2012. The spacecraft has enough fuel left to keep operating at Ceres through early 2017, mission team members have said.
NASA has also approved mission extensions though fiscal year 2018 for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter; Mars Odyssey Orbiter; MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) orbiter; the Opportunity and Curiosity Mars rovers; and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, agency officials announced Friday. NASA has also greenlit further support for the European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter mission.
These decisions were based on a report by the 2016 Planetary Mission Senior Review Panel, NASA officials said. The extensions are all contingent on the availability of resources, which will be determined by budget processes.
The prospect of artificial gravity on space stations is actually possible, but highly expensive and resource-demanding
MAKING SCIENCE FICTION, FACT
Working to make astronauts lives easier and less health damaging is a pretty big goal for NASA. The real problem is actually limiting the effects of zero gravity on the human body. Science Fiction has posited the solution of artificial gravity. However, as this video shows, that is no easy feat.
Artificial gravity could certainly be a possibility with current technology. Sadly, we are limited by the expense and availability of materials. Through the use of centrifugal force, a spinning space station would be able to generate artificial gravity. However, it would have to be spinning at a very fast rate. Alternatively, it’d have to be big enough to not need speed. The trade-off is between being too big to build or spinning too rapidly to be practical.
Building something as huge as science fiction models would certainly cost. Building the eponymous space stations from the 2013 film Elysium would require 500,000 people contributing $10 million each. Even more, aluminum would have to be mined from asteroids as Earth’s supply would not be enough.
Saturn’s Moon Enceladus May be Our Best Shot at Finding Extraterrestrial Life
Saturn’s Moon Enceladus May be Our Best Shot at Finding Extraterrestrial Life
NASA/JPL-Caltech
IN BRIEF
Astronomers gathered by a NASA scientist met to discuss how to conduct the search for alien life on Saturn's moon, Enceladus.
LIFE ON A GLOBAL OCEAN
With everything we know about Saturn’s moon Enceladus, it has been said to be among the best shots we have at finding extraterrestrial life. Now, leading scientists are pushing for a mission to probe the moon in search of life. The group was gathered by planetary scientist Carolyn Porco – leader of the imaging team on NASA’s Cassini mission currently orbiting Saturn. Cassini is winding down her voyage in 2017, and Porco wants the group’s findings to guide the next spacecraft mission to be sent to Enceladus.
Enceladus is a tantalizingly habitable world: it has a subsurface global ocean, a heat source from friction with Saturn, and organic compounds – the building blocks for life. Enceladus’ global ocean sends up plumes of water vapor due to hydrothermal activity. It has 90 of these plumes, and the group wants to focus on these in the search for life. The upside for this is that the spacecraft would not need to land. Instead, it will just have to pass over the plumes and collect the samples. The downside is that such a pass could kill microbes in the water.
LIFE AND ITS MEANING
JPL/NASA
Even faced with such odds, the prospect of discovering life so near to Earth is actually worth the struggle. Other than the great milestone of human evolution of finding life outside Earth, microbes in Enceladus could unlock previously unfathomable discoveries.
Finding life nearby means that life could very well be prevalent around the Universe since it formed twice in the same Solar System. If the biochemistry is radically different, life could spring easily—by multiple means. If life on Earth is similar to any found in Enceladus, it is possible that we could even share extraterrestrial ancestors
It has become a bit of a cottage industry to rail against the current state of UFOlogy. The phenomenon seems beset with talking heads, poseurs and outright charlatans. So much so, it occasionally brings even the best of us to the brink of despair. But just when I thought there were no good men left to fight for answers to the UFO conundrum, I met up with Ted Phillips.
Ted Phillips is part of a rare breed. He is a UFO investigator – not a writer, not a theorist – a hard-core, old-school investigator. For the past forty-five years, he has traversed the United States, doing the arduous work of turning UFO testimony into hard, quantifiable evidence. He’s sifted through dirt, climbed trees, measured, photographed and measured again. The fruits of his efforts, some almost totally unknown to modern audiences, are nothing short of startling.
Phillips grew up in the great American Midwest, his radio tuned to the likes of Frank Edwards and Long John Nebel. A fascination grew within the man that, in 1964, finally prompted him to take action. He packed up his Chevy and headed southwest for his very first UFO investigation – a trip that put him smack in the middle of the Lonnie Zamora sighting in Socorro, New Mexico. The then 22-year-old Phillips was one of the first serious researchers to talk with Zamora and the numerous other people who witnessed the now classic egg-shaped UFO. Phillips retains what must be considered the definitive collection of analysis and evidence from that case – one he still considers among the most compelling of all time.
While in Socorro, Phillips crossed paths with an astronomer from Northwestern University who was investigating UFOs for the U.S. Air Force. That man, of course, was Dr. J. Allen Hynek. This meeting proved to be the start of a professional relationship and close friendship that would last until Hynek’s death in 1986.
In the years that followed, Phillips honed his skills as a painstaking investigator. “My approach is the same one you now see on television shows like CSI,” he told Department 47. “You must always handle a UFO scene with care, as though it were a crime scene.”
He would need all of those skills in 1966 when he examined a harrowing close encounter at Roaring River State Park in Missouri. Three hunters observed a daylight object in the park and, upon returning to their camp site, found all of their camping equipment incinerated. Whatever caused the fire was hot enough to melt aluminum tent poles but selective enough not to ignite the dry trees overhead. As the hunters surveyed the damage, they heard a humming noise. To their amazement, a bizarre disk-shaped object came into view a mere 300 feet away. As the men watched, a tree near the object burst into flame. The UFO finally made a quick exit but not before one of the hunters snapped two photographs.
Phillips called in his friend Dr. Hynek to help interview the witnesses and analyze the Roaring River evidence. Despite their combined efforts, no prosaic explanation for the event has ever been determined.
“Afterwards, Dr. Hynek admitted to me that the UFO phenomenon was bigger than he thought and that people were needed who were willing to specialize,” Phillips explained. “It was he who encouraged me to focus on physical trace cases.”
Phillips took that advice to heart and, over the years, he’s been directly or indirectly involved with over 3000 UFO incidents that produced physical trace evidence. He has personally investigated hundreds of these, including the famous 1971 Delphos, Kansas incident and a 1979 case in which a UFO collided with a Minnesota sheriff’s patrol car.
All that careful analysis and attention to detail has paid dividends. Patterns and connections emerged in the evidence Phillips collected. For example, he learned from repeated compression tests on various landing marks that these alleged vehicles weighed from seven to fourteen tons. Similar tests of footprints found at UFO sites indicated that the entities who made them weighed about sixty pounds. All of this pointed to physical creatures with nuts-n-bolts technology – a hypothesis that, even in 2008, still strikes Phillips as the most logical answer.
*****************
The 1970s proved to be a hectic decade with so many cases that the tireless Phillips barely kept up. However, his investigations came to an abrupt halt with Dr. Hynek’s death in 1986. “It just wasn’t any fun without my friend,” he recalled.
Phillip’s self-imposed retirement continued until 1998 when he had a conversation with another icon of UFOlogy, Jacques Vallee. Vallee had known Phillips for years since he had included him as a member of the Invisible College, a blue-ribbon panel of UFO researchers. Vallee expressed concerns about the direction of UFOlogy and ultimately convinced Phillips to resume his important work.
So, that year, Ted Phillips founded The Center for Physical Trace Research (www.ufophysical.com). To his profound surprise, however, he discovered that, during his years of retirement, the phenomenon had undergone a radical change.
“Sometime during the late 1980s, the number of incidents involving large flying objects dropped considerably.” Phillips states. “At the same time, reports involving very small UFOs increased dramatically.”
Phillips also noticed that these miniature UFOs tended to appear repeatedly in a given area. This was a new facet of the phenomenon – one that may yet yield long-awaited answers. He knew only so much can be done with isolated, one-time UFO encounters. However, if an area of recurring activity could be identified, scientific methods and instruments might be brought to bear to measure and analyze the objects as never before.
To respond to this new opportunity, Phillips formed a Special Investigations Unit (SIU) within the CPTR. This small group of dedicated researchers functions like the Navy SEALS in that they are inserted into UFO hotspots armed with electronic and imaging equipment. In recent months, the SIU has been actively involved with an on-going investigation of a place that goes by the pseudonym of Marley Woods. Marley Woods has been visited on numerous occasions over the years by small, inexplicable lights. The lights vary in size, color, behavior and performance characteristics. More often than not, however, they appear to be the size of a beach ball. The objects have been seen by multiple, independent witnesses at close range. They have exhibited electromagnetic effects well known to most students of the phenomenon, including interfering with car ignitions, video cameras and even cell phones.
On several occasions in 2007, the SIU spent time in the Marley Woods. They are hoping to conduct additional research at the site later this year. Members of the SIU team include: Tom Ferrario, Adam Johnson, Debbie Ziegelmeyer and Chuck Zukowski. Ferrario and Ziegelmeyer are both certified divers, a skill that will be put to the test during the team’s next visit. Phillips explains that anomalous objects have, on more than one occasion, been seen to enter large farm ponds in the vicinity. The SIU divers will search those ponds to see if traces of the objects’ activity can be found.
Phillips admits he’s particularly intrigued by this component of the case. He cites a recent Michigan encounter where a small UFO purportedly bounced off the top of a woman’s car. That object left a strange, yellow residue, which the witness had the foresight to preserve. The substance was then subjected to chemical and bacteriological analysis indicating that, strangely enough, this object may also have spent time in a farm pond.
Funding for such projects is always scarce but the group is working to bankroll the purchase of new, more sophisticated imaging equipment. They also look to add an electromagnetic field generator to their arsenal – one that just might attract one of the Marley Woods’ objects. Phillips is somewhat philosophical about the funding challenges faced by his organization. “After all, Dr. Hynek only managed one, $4000 grant during his entire career,” he mused.
To that end, the Center is accepting monetary donations on its website. Just this month, the group began marketing a DVD of its first investigation at Marley Woods, the proceeds of which will go toward future expeditions.
********************************
You’d think that, after forty-five years, Ted Phillips might want to slow down a bit. However, one conversation with this man reveals an energy and enthusiasm equal to that of his much younger colleagues. The veteran investigator says he’s holding leads on three new sites, much like Marley Woods, that are just begging to be investigated. Somehow, I can’t help but think Ted Phillips is still the man to get the job done.

(VIDEO)WHISTLEBLOWER FROM NASA HAS EVIDENCE OF MOON PHOTOS BEING MANIPULATED TO HIDE UFOS!
(VIDEO)WHISTLEBLOWER FROM NASA HAS EVIDENCE OF MOON PHOTOS BEING MANIPULATED TO HIDE UFOS!
A lot of today's most discussed conspiracies originated from the well known 1947s Roswell UFO crash. There have been several claims from many ex NASA and Government employees about suspicious cover ups and Alien conspiracy.
People in a worldwide scale have been reporting UFO sightings for a while now so it's definitly not a secret anymore. But there's always some skepticism, so it's nice to have new information every now and then.
STRANGE "ANOMALIES" ON MOON PICTURES
Former NASA consultant Dr Ken Johnston, was in charge of storing Apollo lunar mission photos so it could be sent to the respective science labs (all this back in 1971).
He claims photos and films that he viewed first hand, contained strange "anomalies" that were edited out so it could be shown by NASA to the public.
Dr Ken Johnston also donated a lot of evidence and pieces of information regarding these "anomalies" to the Roswell’s International UFO Museum and Research Center.
(VIDEO) ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? REAL ALIENS ARE LIVING AMONG US!
(VIDEO) ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? REAL ALIENS ARE LIVING AMONG US!
Whatever your opinions, you may well find that the following evidence have some impact on this.
As former Canadian defence minister has claimed that aliens are real and has accused world leaders of keeping their presence on Earth, as secret.
ALIENS ARE REAL
Hellyer described several types of aliens including "Tall Whites" who are working with the US air force in Nevada.
"They're able to get away with that; they had a couple of their ladies dressed as nuns go into Las Vegas to shop and they weren't detected," he claimed.
What all this boils down to though is that there are more types of aliens around than you might think of at first.
If we're talking about alien races, then there seem to be a few which appear to be the most well-known or talked about. This is because they appear in films, or have books written and promoted about them or there appears to be more evidence to support their existence. Briefly, Here they are down on the video listed:
The remains of a 200,000 year old advanced civilization found in Africa
The remains of a 200,000 year old advanced civilization found in Africa
The incredible discovery was made in South Africa, around 150 km west of port Maputo. There, we find the remains of a huge metropolis that measures, according to tests, around 1500 square kilometers. This ancient city is, according to researchers, part of an even larger community with about 10,000 square kilometers and is believed to have been constructed 160,000 to 200,000 years before Christ.
The region is somewhat remote and the “circles” have often been encountered by local farmers who assumed they were made by some indigenous people in the past. But, oddly, no one ever bothered to inquire about who could have made them or how old they were. This changed when researcher and author, Michael Tellinger, in association with Johan Heine, a local fireman and pilot who had looked at these ruins for years, decided to investigate them. Heine had the unique opportunity to see these incredible structures from the air and knew that their significance was not appreciated.
“When Johan first introduced me to the ancient stone ruins of southern Africa, he had no idea of the incredible discoveries we would make in the following years. The photographs, artifacts and evidence we accumulated, point towards a lost civilization that has never before been and precedes all others – not for a few hundred years, or a few thousand years … but many thousands of years.” – Tellinger
According to Tellinger, these discoveries are so incredible that It will need a complete paradigm shift in how we view our human history.
The surrounding geology is interesting due to the numbers gold mines located in the vicinity. Researchers have proposed that a vanished civilization from the distant past, could have lived and proposed in that part of the world while mining gold. They point to the Ancient Anunnaki:
The Anunnkai 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 nano particles 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
You can take look at these incredible structures with Google Earth using the following coordinates:
Carolina: 25 55 ‘53.28? S / 30 16 ‘13.13? E
Badplaas: 25 47 ‘33.45? S / 30 40 ‘38.76? E
Waterval: 25 38 ‘07.82? S / 30 21 ‘18.79? E
Machadodorp: 25 39 ‘22.42? S / 30 17 ‘03.25? E
These incredible ruins mostly consist of stone circles, most have been buried in the sand and are only observable by plane or satellites. Some have been exposed to climate change that has removed the sand, revealing the walls and foundations.
“I see myself as someone quite open-minded but I admit that it took me over a year to figure it out, and I realized that we are actually dealing with the oldest structures ever built by man on Earth.
The main reason for this is that we have been taught that nothing of significance has ever come from South Africa. Powerful civilizations all emerged in Sumeria and Egypt and other places. “- Tellinger
According to Telling: It shows that the Sumerians and even the Egyptians inherited all their knowledge from an earlier advanced civilization that lived at the southern tip of Africa more than 200,000 years ago… mining gold.
These were also the people who carved the first Horus bird, the first Sphinx, built the first pyramids and built an exact stone calendar right in the heart of it all. Adam’s Calendar is the flagship among millions of circular stone ruins, ancient roads, agricultural terraces and thousands of ancient mines, left behind by a vanished civilization which they now call the FIRST PEOPLE. These were the ancestors of all humans today with an advanced knowledge of energy fields through planet Earth.
They carved detailed images into the hardest rock, worshipped the sun, and are the first to carve an image of the Egyptian Ankh – key of life and universal knowledge, 200,000 years before the Egyptians came to light. Tellinger presents this groundbreaking new evidence in which is released in his latest book Temples Of The African Gods. It graphically exposes these discoveries and will undoubtedly be the catalyst for rewriting our ancient human history.

UFO In Lightning Storm Over Italy, Night July 2016, Triangle disk, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 2016
Location of sighting: Italy
UFOs like this one have been known to either be the cause of the lighting in some clouds, or be attracted to it, because around the globe, UFOs have been seen in the clouds when the lighting flashes. This is not a first time ever. Just here in Taiwan in the last 10 years, they saw UFOs in clouds two times, on two different storms. So...everhwere there is a storm, there is the potential that it could be a UFO causing it, or attracted to it. Excellent video by UFOvni2012.

Its just my opinion, but I have watched the International Space Station a lot over the last 6 years and I can tell you that this is not the moon, nor a meteor. It may be the Chinese space station cargo ship, called Tangong 1, or the other one Tangong 2. Both are advanced space laboratories and a cargo ship, but I don't believe they hold astronauts. In 2020 the Chinese will have a 20 ton section that will hold up to 3 astronauts for a period of time. Thats just my thoughts on this. Its been seen in many ISS videos. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Streetcap1states: Remember a ufo is an unidentified flying object. This could well be a meteor or the like. What made it interesting was the camera cut off when the ufo seemed to stop. Streetcap1.

This Drone Footage Proof Of Mermaids That We Have Been Waiting For? July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 2016
Location of sighting: Ocean
Do I believe in Mermaids? Yes, such creatures do exist and must be alien species that made a base below our ocean. The evidence is overwhelming, bodies dried out, caught by fishermen and kept in a glass case with the old 1950s newspaper clipping tapped to it. Yeah, I saw such a thing in an old store along the coast here in Taiwan. I looked it over and could find no evidence to point to it being fake. I even talked to the son of the person who caught it, and he attested its real. When going back, I could not find the store any longer. Maybe the closed, but its just gone. That is why I have never talked about it until now. Mermaids are real and I believe them to be aliens.
This drone footage has been featured in many YouTube videos that claim it shows real mermaids caught on tape. These videos make the claim that the humanoid figures seen swimming in the footage are mermaids that have been caught on tape by the drone. Some people have gone as far as to say that this depicts a pack of mermaids caught on tape by the drone. The footage is investigated further in this video.
Two UFOs Captured Over Seattle, Findings Still Under Investigation
Two UFOs Captured Over Seattle, Findings Still Under Investigation
If you are one of the thousands of people who witnessed aliens and extraterrestrial beings, you have seen the best of both worlds. As you know, the alien is too far from reality in public’s perspective. The fact that you have experienced and encountered it, the story will not lie. A witness from Washington reported seeing and recording two highly reflective strange objects. The encounter took place during daylight on June.21, 2016, and the witness was outside when two stationary points of light were noticeable. As soon as it came to the attention, the witness told a co-worker to get a camcorder while the witness kept an eye to the two objects. As soon as the camcorder was turned on, the witness attempted to zoom the objects. Unfortunately, the object was so small that the camera had a hard time focusing on them.
While the witness was able to zoom the object, it appeared highly reflective and had squared appearance. In other words, the flying object does not come in curvy shape, but is square in shape and has sharp edges. It also comes with a short bar in the middle part and bears exactly a capital H.
The witness continued to record the strange objects when they slowly hid behind a building. The witness puts the recorder tool away only to see the objects again to the right. Because of this, the witness has concluded that they either came back to the point where they were originally seen, or there were two more strange objects. Apparently, the new two vessels drifted to the building as well.
While the sighting sounds and looks genuine, some experts it is too good to be true. Meanwhile, Timothy Ward, the Washington State Director is still investigating. Therefore, the case has not been debunked as a hoax or fictional story yet.
President Barack Obama or David Cameron are among the names that have been tipped to reveal the information conspiracy theorists have long sought-after
Bookies have slashed the odds on a world leader revealing before the end of this year that aliens are visiting us.
Activists are stepping up calls today for governments around the world to formally acknowledge that extra-terrestrials are engaging the human race.
World Disclosure Day is being held to raise awareness of the so-called Roswell incident 69 years ago and end the 'truth embargo', say organisers.
It is claimed an alien spaceship crashed on a remote ranch in New Mexico in the first week of July 1947.

Barack Obama could reveal that aliens are visiting us
The Roswell Army Air Force issued a press release saying the military had recovered the remains of "flying disc" which made front page news around the world.
But on July 8, General Roger Ramey announced at a press conference that the object was just a weather balloon, sparking claims of a cover-up.
Stephen Bassett, America's only registered lobbyist on the UFO /ET issue, spoke at the Alien Cosmic Expo late last month: "World Disclosure Day is not a prediction that disclosure will happen on July 8.
"It is a designated day to draw focus on the issue. Think Earth Day.
Getty
David Cameron has previously stated he would be open with the public
"However, on the day the first nation comes forward to finally and formally acknowledge the alien presence, that date will then become World Disclosure Day historically recognising the most profound event in human history."
William Hill has now slashed the odds of a UK prime minister or US president announcing aliens are visiting the planet from 1000/1 to just 25/1.
It follows Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton's pledge to "get to the bottom" of "unexplained aerial phenomena" if she is elected president. She also vowed to send a "task force" into Area 51 in Nevada where craft are said to be kept hidden away.

Bookies have now slashed the odds on a world leader revealing the presence of aliens
Bassett, executive director of Paradigm Research Group, worked with Earth Mystery News and is so convinced President Obama will disclosure before the end of the year, he has put his money where his mouth is by placing a 100/1 wager - dubbed the 'Disclosure bet' - which has a $30,000 payout.
And he believes the UK Prime Minister, which looks odds-on to be Theresa May, would back up the US commander in chief.
He added: "It is notable that not too many years back, similar wagers received odds of 1000 to 1 odds. The odds are much lower now."
A William Hill spokesman said: "There has definitely been a decent number of bets in recent weeks but with the election around the corner we expect loads more.
Getty
There are questions about the suspected alien crash at Roswell
"The last bet was 100/1 but we are now just 25/1 and will be offering maximum bets of £50.
"Over the years we have had many bets for aliens but this is the first time that we have been worried. If we are truly going to find out then this year's American election looks like the catalyst."
Paul Hellyer, a former deputy Prime Minister and ex-defence minister of Canada, spoke out at the First Canadian National Inquiry into UFOs last week, claiming that a 'cabal' of bankers, oil cartels, industrial corporations, the military and intelligence agencies were behind the cover-up.
He also believes an alien craft did crash at Roswell and the US and Canadian governments signed a deal not to tell the public about visitations.

Notorious Area 51 Secured by Snipers, Unmarked Choppers (VIDEOS)
Notorious Area 51 Secured by Snipers, Unmarked Choppers (VIDEOS)
As the promise of declassifying whatever information there might be regarding the visitation of Earth by extraterrestrials is yet to be fulfilled, Area 51 in Nevada, a place that has excited UFO seekers for decades, has increased its security, employing snipers and unmarked helicopters to patrol the region’s perimeter.
Several viral YouTube videos suggest that an entrance into the restricted US Air Force base is being kept safe from prying eyes.
One video, recorded May 18, depicts curious travelers who stray too close to the restricted area. A person claiming to be an author of the footage states during the video that there is a sign at the Area 51 entrance, warning off anyone from wandering onto the base.
“It says use of deadly force authorized," the voice in the footage says. “We have been to every other gate and this is the only one that says use of deadly force.”
The videographers claim to have observed what they describe as a “sniper man” on a rocky hilltop who, they believe, is standing guard.
Another video, recorded on May 15, documents a tour group prowling around the vicinity of the air base’s main entrance. A Black Hawk helicopter appears, flying low enough that a man could “hit it with a rock," one of the witnesses notes. The helicopter circles the tourists closely.
The observer in the video asserts that the helicopter is a “black ops” aircraft, a term commonly used by conspiracy theorists to describe covert operations by a government.
According to Andre Milne, founder of defense technology firm Unicorn Aerospace, the Area 51 operations aren’t about aliens. In an interview with Express.co.uk, Milne statesthat the US military tests classified aircraft at the remote facility.
"Area 51 is a highly-secured facility for the painfully obvious necessity to restrict any and or all witness observations of the classified aircraft," he said.
Area 51 became notorious in 1947, when representatives of the US military claimed that they had discovered a crashed alien spacecraft outside the town of Roswell, Nevada. Subsequent statements claimed that the ‘UFO’ was a crashed weather balloon, but many insisted that the remains of a spaceship had been moved to Area 51 for examination.
Earlier this year, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton µ

Roswell & The US Military: The Truth Really Is Out There
Roswell & The US Military: The Truth Really Is Out There
by John-Paul Tooth
Ever wanted to find out what really happened at Roswell? Well now you can.
In 1947 there was a crash at a ranch near the city of Roswell, in New Mexico.
And that's pretty much the only thing that's been universally agreed upon ever since.
It all started when a foreman, William Brazel, noticed clusters of debris around 30 miles north of Roswell.
Brazel told the Roswell Daily Record that he and his son saw a "large area of bright wreckage made up of rubber strips, tinfoil, a rather tough paper and sticks."
He paid little attention to it at the time but later returned with his family to gather up the material.
The next day, after hearing reports about 'flying disks', the foreman began to wonder if that was what he had picked up.
During a visit to the local sheriff, Brazel "whispered kinda confidential like" that he may have found a flying disc.
Sheriff Wilcox then called Major Jesse Marcel from the nearby Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF), at which point a "man in plainclothes" accompanied Brazel back to the ranch. But what they found doesn't really sound very alien at all..
As reported in the July 9, 1947 edition of the Roswell Daily Record:
"The balloon which held it [the 'flying disk] up... must have been 12 feet long, [Brazel] felt, measuring the distance by the size of the room in which he sat. The rubber was smoky grey in colour and scattered over an area about 200 yards in diameter.
"When the debris was gathered up, the tinfoil, paper, tape, and sticks made a bundle about three feet long and 7 or 8 inches thick, while the rubber made a bundle about 18 or 20 inches long and about 8 inches thick. In all, he estimated, the entire lot would have weighed maybe five pounds.
"There was no sign of any metal in the area which might have been used for an engine, and no sign of any propellers of any kind, although at least one paper fin had been glued onto some of the tinfoil."
"There were no words to be found anywhere on the instrument, although there were letters on some of the parts. Considerable Scotch tape and some tape with flowers printed upon it had been used in the construction.
"No strings or wires were to be found but there were some eyelets in the paper to indicate that some sort of attachment may have been used."
The object was flown to Fort Worth Army Air Field, where the object was identified as being a weather balloon and its "kite", a nickname for a radar reflector used to track the balloons from the ground.
Public attention was grabbed, however, after the RAAF issued a press release stating that military personnel had recovered a "flying disc" which had crashed on a ranch near Roswell.
But interest subsided pretty quickly after the military informed the public that the crash was of a standard weather balloon; with a press conference held featuring debris (foil, rubber and wood) said to be from the crashed object, which matched the weather balloon description.
The incident on the front page of the Roswell Daily Record
And the desired effect was achieved - historian Robert Goldberg describes the story as having "died the next day" - but the story didn't end there, and the military hadn't in fact told the whole truth (but we'll come to that later).
It was over 30 years until interest was reignited - with conspiracy theories surrounding the event starting to take hold amongst UFO enthusiasts (known as 'ufologists') in the late 1970s.
UFO researchers began to interview hundreds of people who claimed to have had a connection with the events at Roswell, while hundreds of documents were obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests, and 'government documents' supposedly leaked by insiders.
Books, articles and television shows were produced, and by the mid-1990s a poll revealed that most people interviewed believed aliens had landed at Roswell, and that a government cover-up had taken place.
A US weather balloon
Many also believe that alien bodies were recovered, with film footage causing an international sensation in 1995 that claimed to show an alien autopsy and have been taken by a US military official shortly after the Roswell incident.
Its creator admitted in 2006 that the film was 'mostly a reconstruction', although he claimed it was based on since-lost genuine footage, with some original frames having allegedly survived. A fictionalised version of the story of the footage then became the subject of the 2006 comedy film Alien Autopsy (2006).
It's been reported that as many as 11 'alien recovery sites' have been identified, with some of these having possibly confused accounts of the several known recoveries of injured and dead service personnel from four military plane crashes that occurred in the area from 1948 to 1950.
In fact, there's no evidence that a UFO crashed at Roswell.
B. D. Gildenberg has called the incident "the world's most famous, most exhaustively investigated, and most thoroughly debunked UFO claim".
There have been a number of explanations for the hold Roswell has taken over the public imagination. Former CIA intelligence officer and author Karl T. Pflock said:
"[T]he case for Roswell is a classic example of the triumph of quantity over quality. The advocates of the crashed-saucer tale […] simply shovel everything that seems to support their view into the box marked 'Evidence' and say, 'See? Look at all this stuff. We must be right.' Never mind the contradictions. Never mind the lack of independent supporting fact. Never mind the blatant absurdities."
Others point to a public preoccupation in the 1980s with "conspiracy, cover-up and repression" following the Watergate scandal of the previous decade, while it's also been suggested that people may have had motives for promoting the idea of aliens at Roswell. Author Kal Korff says:
"[The] UFO field is comprised of people who are willing to take advantage of the gullibility of others, especially the paying public. Let's not pull any punches here: The Roswell UFO myth has been very good business for UFO groups, publishers, for Hollywood, the town of Roswell, the media, and Ufology […] [The] number of researchers who employ science and its disciplined methodology is appallingly small."
It's also been argued that the Roswell story has all the hallmarks of a traditional folk narrative, with a core narrative having been built upon as it was shared and passed on.
Other 'witnesses' were then sought out to expand the core story, with any accounts not in agreement with it not being included. The story was then retold, and the process started again.
Most of the supposed witnesses, meanwhile, were repeating the claims of others, which would be considered as hearsay in a court of law and therefore inadmissible as evidence.
Indeed, by the 2000s physicist and sceptic Dave Thomas commented: "Is Roswell still the 'best' UFO incident? If it is, UFO proponents should be very, very worried."
Things should have been cleared up in the mid-90s - when the US military admitted that it hadn't, in fact, told the whole truth.
After the global spread of reports on the incident, the US Air Force was instructed to conduct an internal investigation.
It resulted in two reports, the first of which admitted the true purpose of the crashed device - nuclear test monitoring.
It concluded that the material recovered in 1947 was likely debris from Project Mogul, a top secret US military operation which involved microphones flown on high-altitude balloons to detect sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests.
Click below to see President Barack Obama's reaction when asked about his knowledge of aliens...
Carried out from 1947 until early 1949, the project was ultimately superseded by a cheaper, more reliable network of seismic detectors and air sampling for fallout, which were easier to deploy and operate.
The second report, released in 1997, concluded that reports of recovered alien bodies were probably in part caused by innocently transformed memories of military accidents involving injured or killed personnel.
Memories of the recovery of anthropomorphic dummies used in 1950s military programs and hoaxes perpetrated by various witnesses and UFO proponents were also offered as explanations.
UFO believers, meanwhile, dismissed the reports, attacking their credibility or claiming they were released as disinformation.
So we're agreed - a cover-up of a top secret military operation led to allegations of a cover-up of an unimaginable scale further down the line. Case closed. Or is it?

Mysterious St. Elmo’s fire ignites blue sparks on finger tips at Lake Monona, Wisconsin
Look at this! These guys are experiencing small blue sparks on their finger tips as well as a static noise at Lake Monona, Wisconsin.
Yes, that’s the rare and mysterious St. Elmo’s fire phenomenon.
The St. Elmo’s fire phenomenon occurs when tiny charges in electricity from an object meet the naturally occurring charges in the air.
If the charges in the air are unusually high, often caused by a nearby storm, the clash can be so great that currents ionize and, when combined with nitrogen and oxygen, produce a blue color.
In this case, a snowstorm close by filled the air with the buzz of electricity.
Site of famous alleged UFO landing in Wales up for sale
Site of famous alleged UFO landing in Wales up for sale
In 1977, there were a string of UFO sightings in Wales that included alleged UFO landings and alien visitation. The incident is referred to as The Broad Haven Triangle, and now, one of the primary locations of the incident is up for sale.
The old Haven Fort Hotel is listed for £1.3m.

Formerly the Haven Fort Hotel, the building looks like it is out of a period television show. It is right off the cliffs of the picturesque Pembrokeshire coastline. While it does not look like a place where an alien visitation might have occurred, if they were in town for recreation, it is a great choice.
According to Wales Online, the current owner, Francis Granville, says she first heard about the alien visitations when her father wrote her a letter while she was in Spain. Granville says her father’s letter claimed that her mother had seen a UFO and two aliens.
“It was early morning and mum was woken by a buzzing noise and she thought she’d left the gas boiler on. Once downstairs she realized the noise was from outside,” recalled Granville.

“She looked out and saw about 100 feet away an oval object she could only describe as a ‘space craft’ with lights, slowly land and two figures emerge in silver suits,” Granville continued. “She was terrified because the figures, although reminiscent of men, had exceptionally long arms and legs. Their heads were covered by helmets. She called them creatures.”
After Granville’s mother called her father over, the craft and the aliens had disappeared. However, upon examination of the area, they found a small crater in the ground.
Fortunately for Granville’s mother, she was not the only witness. 14 students at nearby Broad Haven Primary say they also saw the UFO land, and they all drew pictures of what they saw.

Others also claimed to have had strange experiences. Francine says, “At the farm across St Bride’s Bay the farmer’s wife said she heard scratching at the window and saw the two creatures looking in! Lots of people in the county saw the craft.”
According to a book on the sightings titled The Watchers, written by Neil Spring, a local Minister of Parliament, Nicholas Edwards, commented on the events. Apparently, Edwards reported at the time, “I am being inundated at the present time with representations about UFOs said to have been seen in Pembrokeshire.”

Granville’s property looks a bit like a small castle. It is on 4.6 acres and the sale includes the pebble shoreline and beach at the base of the cliffs. The beach even has its own name, Settlands Bay. The home has a lounge area, a restaurant, a commercial kitchen and 14 guest rooms. It is perfect for the enterprising UFO enthusiast who would like to get into the UFO tourism business.

A multidisciplinad.ry study involving French, Belgian and Japanese researchers has proposed a model that may explain the origins of the two satellites and shed light on how moons develop in the Solar System.
In the past, two theories dominate the debate on the satellite’s history. One proposes capture, where the two are asteroids trapped by Mars’ gravity well. The other is that the moons formed from the debris of a collision between Mars and a protoplanet. This is the same theory proposed for our Moon’s formation (colorfully known as the “Big Splat”)—but how two satellites could form from such a process constituted a major hole in this argument, at least as far as Phobos and Deimos were concerne

PATCHING HOLES
But the new model fills the void in the impact argument. It contends that the two satellites formed because of a much slower axial rotation than what was the case with the Earth and Moon.
The study, published in Nature Geoscience, proposes the following chain of events:
Some 4 to 4.5 billion years ago (i.e., very early in the Solar System’s history), Mars suffered a colossal impact with a body about a third of its size. The debris, captured by Mars’ gravity, formed into a disk à la Saturn’s glorious adornment. Here an enormous moon a thousand times the mass of Phobos gradually formed. This is exactly the scenario that created our Moon.
But the divergence occurs because of the slower rotation speeds. Earth took less than 4 hours to spin on its axis whereas Mars rotated very slowly over a 24-hour period. The slower rotation allowed the debris to coalesce into smaller moons. These moons were all forced by Martian tidal action to fall back onto the planet’s surface (including the largest one), leaving only the two most distant moons: Phobos and Deimos.
The theory may also explain another longstanding Martian mystery: why its northern hemisphere is lower in altitude than its southern. The Borealis Basin, it turns out, may be the remnant of this primordial, moon-forming impact.
However, while this establishes a concrete theory, it is still speculation until future missions collect images and samples that prove that the moons are composed of a mixture of Martian mantle and debris.
Lost Japanese Spacecraft Shares Groundbreaking View of Galaxy Group
Lost Japanese Spacecraft Shares Groundbreaking View of Galaxy Group

This image illustrates how supermassive black holes at the center of galaxy clusters could heat intergalactic gas, preventing it from cooling and forming stars. The black hole inflates bubbles (dark areas) of ultrahot, ionized gas, called plasma. The bubbles, which reach tens of thousands of light-years into space, drag gas (blue clouds) from the cluster center, which explains the long streaks of gas, or filaments, seen in optical images. In the outer regions, the bubbles cause turbulence, which heats the gas. The hot gas emits bright X-rays detected by X-ray satellites.

Like a confectioner trying to reach the right consistency in a sweet concoction, a supermassive black hole is vigorously stirring the gas within a collection of galaxies to keep star formation at a minimum. The new finding, revealed bythe doomed spacecraft Hitomi, may help solve the question of why so few stars form within collections of hundreds or thousands of galaxies.
Hitomi measured the motion of gas in the center of the Hitomi measured the motion of gas in the center of the the Perseus galaxy cluster with unprecedented precision, as much as 50 times better than previous instruments, said Andrew Fabian, a professor of astronomy at the University of Cambridge in England. The black hole, by stirring the gas, keeps the material from cooling down and forming new stars.
Without that mixing activity from the black hole, "the central galaxy would be much brighter and have a much higher stellar mass," Fabian told Space.com by email. Fabian is chairperson of part of Hitomi's science working group, an international collaboration headed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). That group published the results of the only science completed by the HItomi spacecraft before it disintegrated in orbit last April. [Images: Black Holes of the Universe]
"We already knew that supermassive black holes, which are found at the center of all galaxy clusters and are tens of billions of times more massive than the sun, could play a major role in keeping the gas from cooling by somehow injecting energy into it," Norbert Werner, a research associate at Stanford University in California who analyzed data from Hitomi, said in a statement. "Now we understand this mechanism better and see that there is just the right amount of stirring motion to produce enough heat."
A massive spoon
Galaxy clusters are made up of anywhere from 50 to thousands of galaxies. Hot gas reaching tens of millions of degrees Fahrenheit makes up about 15 percent of a cluster, causing it to shine brightly in the X-ray spectrum. Studying the gas helps astronomers make estimates of how massive the cluster is, but these estimates can change based on how quickly the gas is stirred, a process that can also affect the birth of stars.
Other instruments have studied the Perseus cluster, the brightest X-ray cluster in the sky, and one of the most massive. These glimpses revealed enormous bubbles of gas thousands of light-years wide, spat out by thesupermassive black hole at the center of the cluster.
For the first time, Hitomi was able to link the movement of the gas to the bubbles. As they rise from the black hole, the bubbles drag gas from the center of the cluster, stirring it up and heating it. Because the gas can't cool, it is unable to form new stars. (Visible-light images reveal streaks of colder gas pulled away from the galactic center).
"Although the motions heat the gas at the center of the Perseus cluster, their speed is only about 100 miles [160 kilometers] per second, which is surprisingly slow considering how disturbed the region looks in X-ray images," Hitomi's co-principal investigator Roger Blandford, a physics professor at Stanford University and a professor of astrophysics and particle physics at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
While understanding how the gas moves can affect estimates of mass in the cluster, Blandford said the new measurements haven't led to significant changes in previous mass calculations.
Unfortunately, Hitomi was able to study the Perseus cluster only briefly before the satellite was lost.
Due to the spacecraft failure, "We are not able to make these measurements in other clusters and galaxies and so understand better how the feedback process operates," Fabian said.
The research, along with an accompanying perspective piece, was published online today (July 6) in the journal Nature.

'A new chapter'
Launched in February 2016, Hitomi carried an X-ray detector that was designed to spot objects 10 to 100 times fainter than those visible to previous spacecraft, according to JAXA. By probing high-energy objects such as black holes, galaxy clusters and supernova remnants from space, Hitomi was able to observe in X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths that can't make it through Earth's atmosphere.
But after a little more than a month in space, a glitch resulted in Hitomi spinning wildly out of control. The high-speed rotation caused several pieces of the satellite to snap off, permanently disabling the spacecraft. As many as 11 fragments were detected flying through space. By the end of April, JAXA ended its efforts to reconnect to the spacecraft, well before the end of what was supposed to be a three-year mission.
Despite its early destruction, Hitomi managed to perform significant science. In its first week after launch, the spacecraft spent three days observing the Perseus cluster, making a total of four observations. Hitomi began its fateful position change before the craft had completed all of the studies that researchers had intended it to make.
"Eventually, it would have mapped much of the cluster over a total of a month or more, and much longer on many other clusters," Fabian said.
He told Space.com that only a handful of other sources were observed for calibration purposes, and these would be "much less interesting scientifically."
"Being able to measure gas motions is a major advance in understanding the dynamic behavior of galaxy clusters and its ties to cosmic evolution," study co-author Irina Zhuravleva of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, said in the same statement from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. "Although the Hitomi mission ended tragically after a very short period of time, it's fair to say that it has opened a new chapter in X-ray astronomy."
Strange Object in the Solar Neighborhood Has Clouds of Water

IN BRIEF
The brown dwarf known as WISE 0855 has fascinated astronomers. Now they've begun to study its composition—with surprising results.
The brown dwarf WISE 0855 has piqued the interest of astronomers since it was first detected in 2014. It is 7.2 light-years away from Earth and is known to be the coldest object outside the Solar System. When viewed using ground-based telescopes, it is just barely visible at infrared wavelengths.
Using the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii, astronomers at UC Santa Cruz succeeded in getting an infrared spectrum of the brown dwarf which gives the first set of details regarding its composition and chemistry. Included among the details is the strong evidence that clouds of water or water ice exist on the object. These are the first water ice clouds to be detected outside of the Solar System.
“The spectrum allows us to investigate dynamical and chemical properties that have long been studied in Jupiter’s atmosphere, but this time on an extrasolar world,” said Andrew Skemer, assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz.

Glittering, glamorous, graceful. The latest red-carpet fashion statement? No, of course not. I'm talking about nebulas, the wispy clouds of gas and dust scattered through each galaxy. Earthly fabrics can't come close to the heavenly, tenuous beauty of these objects.
Peppered throughout the Milky Way, they provide amateur astronomers an eyeful of delight and give professional astronomers plenty to ponder. We see these objects in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colors and configurations, from almost-perfect spheres and shells to dazzlingly complex helices to tangled wrecks. But where exactly do they come from? And, perhaps more importantly, where are they going?
To get a good look at nebulas, let's first look at the stars. Tiny, compact and dense — at least, astronomically speaking — a star is pretty much the opposite of a nebula. The power of a star comes from nuclear fusion, which occurs because of the intense pressures shoving elements together way past their personal comfort zones. That fusion creates heavier elements and a tiny bit of leftover energy, which is enough to maintain the star for millions (in the case of huge stars) to trillions (in the case of teensy-tiny-barely-above-brown-dwarf stars) of years. [50 Fabulous Deep-Space Nebula Photos]
No matter how long they last, stars are finite creatures. Thus, they must have come from somewhere and will end up going to somewhere else. Presumably, they didn't start life as tiny, dense balls and they won't end life the same way either. So where do stars come from, and where are they going?
Based on this article's topic, you can probably guess what the answer is: nebulas. Stars come from nebulas and end up turning into nebulas. Likewise, nebulas can generally be classified into two categories: about-to-be-stars and used-to-be-stars.
About to be stars
One could argue that the natural state of matter is clouds of stuff. In fact, I'm about to make just that argument. Stars depend on a specific process, nuclear fusion, to survive, and once that process ends, they quit being stars. The objects known as stars are altogether temporary. But a cloud of gas and dust? It can just hang out being a cloud of gas and dust for as long as it wants. If no forces nudge it one way or the other, it's perfectly happy just being what it is.
That will change only when a nebula does get nudged, say by a chance gravitational interaction with a neighbor, or by being too close to a nearby supernova (you gotta hate it when that happens). Once nudged, the nebula can become unstable, its natural self-gravitational pull overwhelming its equally natural gas pressure (an event marked by reaching a threshold dubbed the "Jeans instability"). Very quickly, pieces of the nebula branch and break off, smashing down in on themselves to get the fusion party started and make some stars.
The smashed-down bits turn into "dark nebulas" (hint: they're kind of black) as their high densities shroud the light coming from any newly forming stars. Fortunately, radio and infrared radiation penetrate even the densest of these nebulas, allowing astronomers to peer into these clouds' stellar wombs.
A typical cloud of gas, once unsettled, might make hundreds or even thousands of stars in a single batch. The largest and brightest of those stars will spew out tons of hot, heavy, high-energy radiation, exciting the molecules in the remaining nebula and causing it to glow rosy red.
Called "emission nebulas" — because their material is, well, emitting light — they won't last long. Those big, bright stars spewing radiation are sure to go supernova, ripping apart the already-tenuous veils of dust and gas and spreading this material so thin even the keenest observers are unable to distinguish it from the general spacey background.
Used to be stars
And that brings us to where nebulas come from in the first place. The answer, of course, is stars. When stars die, it's not pretty — or it's very pretty, depending on your point of view. [Supernova Photos: Great Images of Star Explosions]
The largest stars go off in spectacular fashion, unleashing almost all their unspent energy in a blast that can outshine entire galaxies (to be fair, the blast will last only a few days or weeks, while galaxies keep on shining for trillions of years). That blast naturally carries a lot of "stuff" far from the original star; basically, the whole star is turned inside out and goes from point-like to cloud-like in one fantastic event.
The ejected material rides the shockwaves at a healthy fraction of the speed of light, so it doesn't take long for a decent-size nebula to form. Even supernovas that occurred only hundreds of years ago (which in astronomical terms might as well be yesterday) have already become beautiful artistic displays. One such example is the Crab nebula, which is itself lit by the intense radiation still pouring out of the hot, left-over core of its dead star.
Stars like Earth's sun don't go off as intensely, but that doesn't mean they don't get to create their own masterpieces. Near the ends of these stars' lives, the switchover from hydrogen- to helium-based fusion in the cores leads to complex interplay in the stellar interiors. This causes the outmost layers to swell, expand and eventually slough off. The erratic nature of the star during this time pushes the outward-moving gas in weird directions.
The result: planetary nebulas, which unfortunately have absolutely nothing to do with planets. They come in a wild variety of shapes and patterns. They don't last long. Like their supernova cousins, they're lit by the remaining core of the star, and once that peters out after a few thousand years, the fireworks show is over.
But since stars like the Earth's sun are so common, this galaxy continues to produce new planetary nebulas, decorating the galactic disk like Christmas ornaments.
So that's it: Nebulas turn into stars, and stars turn into nebulas. It's a cycle that has persisted for over 13 billion years, starting when the first nebula scrunched down into a star. And it will continue to last for trillions more. Eventually, though, the nebulas will win: You need to pack enough stuff into a small enough space to make a star, and once you run out of opportunities you run out of stars, and the universe will return to its natural, long-term state: a bunch of gas and dust floating around.

Voor het eerst met water gevulde wolken ontdekt buiten ons zonnestelsel
Voor het eerst met water gevulde wolken ontdekt buiten ons zonnestelsel

Wetenschappers hebben sterke aanwijzingen gevonden dat in de atmosfeer van WISE 0855 – een bruine dwerg – wolken gevuld met water of waterijs te vinden zijn.
Wetenschappers bestudeerden de bruine dwerg met behulp van de Gemini North-telescoop op Hawaii. “Je zou verwachten dat een object dat zo koud is, waterwolken bezit,” stelt onderzoeker Andrew Skemer. En nu is er dus sterk bewijs gevonden dat dat ook echt zo is.
Over de bruine dwerg WISE 0855 werd in 2014 ontdekt. Het is een bruine dwerg, oftewel een mislukte ster. Bruine dwergen ontstaan – net als sterren – wanneer een gas- en stofwolk ineenstort, maar slagen er niet in om zoveel massa te verkrijgen dat ze in staat zijn tot kernfusie (en net als sterren gaan schijnen). WISE 0855 is ongeveer vijf keer zwaarder dan Jupiter en bijna net zo koud als deze gasreus. De bruine dwerg bevindt zich op ongeveer 7,2 lichtjaar van de aarde.
Spectrum Eerdere waarnemingen van WISE 0855 wezen er al op dat deze waterwolken bezat. Maar om daar zeker van te zijn, moesten onderzoekers het spectrum van de mislukte ster verkrijgen. Aan de hand van dat spectrum konden de onderzoekers meer zeggen over de samenstelling van de bruine dwerg.
Het onderzoek laat zien dat WISE 0855 sterk lijkt op Jupiter en ook gedomineerd wordt door waterdamp en -wolken. Er zijn echter ook verschillen. Zo bezit de atmosfeer van Jupiter veel fosfine, waarschijnlijk omdat de atmosfeer van deze gasreus zeer turbulent is. Dat WISE 0855 weinig fosfine bevat, wijst erop dat de atmosfeer van de bruine dwerg een stukje rustiger is.

Zeven nieuwe technologieën denderen als een niet te stoppen trein op ons af. En hun impact is enorm. Alles wordt anders.
Dat schrijft arbeids- en organisatiepsycholoog Dik Bijl in zijn nieuwste boek dat – heel toepasselijk – de titel ‘Alles wordt anders‘ draagt. In het boek stipt hij zeven technologieën aan die er hoe dan ook aan zitten te komen en een enorme impact zullen hebben op de maatschappij: robots, kunstmatige intelligentie (KI), zelfrijdende auto’s, 3D-printen, synthetische biologie, nanotechnologie en genomische geneeskunde. Het boek is een hartenkreet: “Laten we hier alsjeblieft eens goed over na gaan denken.”
Geen doemscenario’s In het boek geen doemscenario’s over kunstmatige intelligentie die onze pet te boven gaat en de macht grijpt of genetische manipulatie die uit de klauwen loopt. Nee, Bijl blijft nuchter. En dat is een bewuste keuze, zo vertelt hij aan Scientias.nl. “Ik wil een beeld schetsen van de ontwikkelingen die op ons afkomen en de gevolgen die deze ontwikkelingen hebben. Dat kunstmatige intelligentie de macht grijpt, is niet zo aannemelijk. Ik zeg niet dat het niet gaat gebeuren, maar het lijkt niet erg waarschijnlijk. Wat we wel zeker weten, is dat robots en kunstmatige intelligentie onze banen over gaan nemen. Naar schatting gaat zo’n 40 tot 75 procent van de banen verloren. Dat is een zekerheidje en dus veel belangrijker dan de doemscenario’s.”
MEER WERKGELEGENHEID
De nieuwe technologieën kosten banen. Maar ze creëren toch ook werkgelegenheid? Ja, stelt Bijl. Maar die nieuwe banen wegen niet op tegen de banen die verloren gaan. “Ik las laatst een artikel over een 3D-printbedrijfje. Het bedrijf had al meer dan twintig mensen in dienst en dus werkgelegenheid gecreëerd. Maar die paar banen wegen niet op tegen de tienduizend banen die bij V&D verloren zijn gegaan.”
Werkloosheid En daarmee stipt Bijl direct misschien wel één van de belangrijkste gevolgen van de zeven opkomende technologieën aan: een enorm verlies aan banen. “Robots, inclusief zelfrijdende auto’s, gaan het lager geschoolde fabrieks-, vervoers- en dienstenwerk uitvoeren; KI-systemen nemen op termijn het hoger geschoolde kenniswerk over,” zo schrijft Bijl in zijn boek. Dat lijkt slecht nieuws. Want miljoenen mensen komen dan zonder werk te zitten. “Maar is dat erg?” vraagt Bijl zich in gesprek met Scientias.nl hardop af. “Het speelt ons vrij om een geweldige maatschappij op te bouwen.” Hij wijst erop dat uit onderzoek blijkt dat slechts 10 procent van de mensen met een baan heel blij is met die baan. “Dat betekent dat zo’n 90 procent niet blij is met zijn baan en zich liever met andere dingen bezighoudt. Zo’n 20 procent daarvan heeft zelfs een hekel aan het werk en werkt alleen om een inkomen te verkrijgen.” Voor die 90 procent heeft Bijl met het oog op de opkomende technologieën goed nieuws. “Als we het goed regelen met elkaar dan kan iedereen in de toekomst gaan doen wat hij leuk vindt.” Het dagelijkse werk wordt dan immers uitgevoerd door de nieuwe werkers: onder meer robots en zelfrijdende auto’s. En dat biedt ons de gelegenheid om onze passies na te jagen.
“ALS WE HET GOED REGELEN MET ELKAAR DAN KAN IEDEREEN IN DE TOEKOMST GAAN DOEN WAT HIJ LEUK VINDT”
Nieuwe welvaartsverdeling Ik hoor je denken: Ho, even, dat is allemaal leuk en aardig, maar zonder werk geen inkomen. Hoe moet dat dan? De opkomst van nieuwe technologieën en de daarmee gepaard gaande werkeloosheid schreeuwt om een nieuwe welvaartsverdeling, stelt Bijl. Stel: je werkt in de bouw. Dan heb je alle reden om de 3D-printer te vrezen. Onderzoekers zijn namelijk al aardig ver met het printen van huizen en naar schatting zal zo’n 40 tot 50 procent van de 20 miljoen mensen die wereldwijd in de bouwsector werken door toedoen van zo’n printertje aan de kant worden geschoven. Wat gebeurt er dan? De werknemers komen in armoede te leven. Terwijl de werkgevers – die hun dure arbeidskrachten inruilen voor een veel efficiëntere 3D-printer – aanzienlijk rijker worden. “Het aantal arme mensen groeit en het aantal rijke mensen neemt af, maar de weinige rijken die er dan nog zijn, worden wel steeds rijker,” zo vat Bijl het krachtig samen. De kloof tussen arm en rijk wordt onoverbrugbaar. “En dan stort de economie in: burgers krijgen niets meer en alle voordelen van de technologieën vallen ten deel aan een handjevol rijken. Dat is het doemscenario waar we op afstevenen als we de welvaart niet fundamenteel anders gaan verdelen.” Maar zo’n nieuwe welvaartsverdeling is nog niet zo eenvoudig. Het vereist namelijk dat je de welvaart weghaalt bij de mensen die welvarend zijn. En die hebben daar vaak geen zin in. Bovendien zal zo’n nieuwe verdeling van de welvaart op hoog niveau – Europees of misschien zelfs op wereldniveau – moeten worden bewerkstelligd. Dat betekent dat heel veel neuzen dezelfde kant op moeten wijzen. En diezelfde neuzen slagen er in feite nu al niet in om de armoede effectief te bestrijden. “Wat dat betreft ben ik eigenlijk best pessimistisch,” erkent Bijl. “Als wij geen manier vinden om de welvaart eerlijk te verdelen, dan stort alles in. En dat is wel het pad waarop we ons nu bevinden.”
Onlangs verrees in Dubai ’s werelds eerste 3D-geprinte kantoor. Afbeelding: overheid van Dubai.
Het milieu Behalve uitdagingen brengen de technologieën natuurlijk ook mogelijkheden met zich mee. Zo is Bijl ontzettend enthousiast over de consequenties die de nieuwe technologieën hebben voor het milieu. Neem bijvoorbeeld de 3D-printer. Deze stelt ons in staat om lokaal te produceren. Dat betekent dat producten niet meer van de ene kant van de wereld naar de andere kant verscheept hoeven worden. En dat scheelt enorm veel uitstoot. Ook de synthetische biologie is op dit gebied veelbelovend. Deze tak van sport draait om het (om)vormen van organismen tot levende fabrieken die producten vervaardigen. Denk aan bacteriën die met wat aanpassingen bioplastics of biobrandstoffen kunnen produceren en zo een bijdrage leveren aan een groenere wereld.
Onze gezondheid En ook over de consequenties die deze nieuwe technologieën hebben voor onze gezondheid is Bijl enthousiast. “In de eerste plaats heb je nieuwe werkers zoals humanoïde robots die ouderen en zieken gaan verzorgen en KI-systemen die medische diagnoses stellen en helpen om veel meer kennis te vergaren over de relatie tussen genen en erfelijke ziektes,” zo schrijft hij in zijn boek. “3D-printers en synthetische biologie worden ingezet om menselijk weefsel en menselijke organen te produceren die geschikt zijn voor transplantatie. Nanotechnologie draagt bij door het ontwikkelen van nanomedicijnen en het stellen van medische diagnoses met behulp van nanodeeltjes. De genomische geneeskunde gaat bijdragen door een betere diagnostiek, het effectievere gebruik van medicijnen en de inzet van gentherapie.” Veel van deze dingen klinken misschien nog als verre toekomstmuziek, maar daarin moeten we ons niet vergissen. “Deze technologieën komen er echt aan,” vertelt Bijl. “Daar is geen discussie over mogelijk.” Het verbieden van bepaalde aspecten van deze technologieën – bijvoorbeeld de veelgenoemde ‘designer baby’, waarbij embryo’s genetisch gescreend en eventueel gemanipuleerd worden om er zeker van te zijn dat ze uitgroeien tot gezonde baby’s met bepaalde gewenste kenmerken – is zinloos. “Er is altijd wel een plek op aarde te vinden waar je wel een designer baby kunt krijgen. Dus verbieden heeft geen zin. Wel moeten we goed nadenken over de ethische aspecten van deze technologieën.”
“OVERHEDEN MOETEN GAAN EXPERIMENTEREN, BIJVOORBEELD MET HET BASISINKOMEN”
Samengevat kun je tot de conclusie komen dat de mens bij de opkomst van deze technologieën gebaat is. “In principe brengen ze een hoop goeds,” vindt Bijl. Mits we er goed mee om weten te gaan en op hun komst zijn voorbereid. Wat dat laatste betreft, is een belangrijke rol weggelegd voor de overheid. “De politiek is vaak zo bezig met problemen op de korte termijn: vluchtelingen, Brexit, Nexit,” somt Bijl op. “En natuurlijk is dat allemaal best belangrijk, maar dat zijn geen dingen die een wereldwijde impact hebben.” En de nieuwe technologieën hebben dat wel. “Dat is iets wat absoluut op ons af gaat komen.” En de tijd dringt. “Als we ons hier nu op gaan richten, kunnen we het tij nog keren. Maar dan moet het prominent op de politieke agenda. Overheden moeten erover gaan nadenken en gaan experimenteren. Bijvoorbeeld met het basisinkomen. Ik zeg niet dat dat de oplossing is, maar we moeten ons daar wel in verdiepen. Deze technologieën gaan enorme gevolgen hebben en zijn niet meer te stoppen. Aan ons de taak om ze goed te gebruiken, ervoor te zorgen dat niemand achterblijft en iedereen meedeelt in de bonussen die deze technologieën met zich meebrengen.”

Rare Noah's Ark Mosaic Uncovered in Ancient Synagogue in Israel
Rare Noah's Ark Mosaic Uncovered in Ancient Synagogue in Israel

Mosaics depicting prominent Bible scenes were uncovered during annual excavations of an ancient synagogue in Israel's Lower Galilee.
During the excavation in June, archaeologists found two new panels of amosaic floor in a Late Roman (fifth-century) synagogue at Huqoq, an ancient Jewish village. One panel showed Noah's ark with pairs of animals, such as lions, leopards and bears. The other panel depicted soldiers being swallowed by large fish, surrounded by overturned chariots in the parting of the Red Sea.
Such images are extremely rare for the time period, according to excavation director Jodi Magness, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, whose work was funded by the National Geographic Society. [Photos: Unusual Mosaics Decorated Ancient Synagogue in Israel]
"I know of only two other scenes of the parting of the Red Sea in ancient synagogues," Magness told National Geographic.
"One is in the wall paintings at Dura Europos [in Syria], which is a complete scene but different from ours — no fish devouring the Egyptian soldiers," Magness said. "The other is at Wadi Hamam [in Israel], but that's very fragmentary and poorly preserved."
The Noah's ark mosaic included pairs of animals, such as lions, leopards, bears, and donkeys.

The ark scenes are also uncommon; Magness said she knows of only two other mosaics showing such depictions.
Along with a team of university scholars and students, and the Israel Antiquities Authority, Magness has excavated at Huqoq since 2012. Previous mosaic discoveries have depicted Bible scenes such as Samson and the foxes and Samson carrying the gate of Gaza on his shoulders.
The Huqoq excavations revealed the first nonbiblical mosaic found in an ancient synagogue. That three-tiered mosaic included a scene showing a meeting between two important male figures, thought to be the legendary meeting between Alexander the Great and the Jewish high priest.
These previous discoveries were uncovered in the synagogue's eastern aisle, and the researchers were uncertain whether the mosaics would continue into the nave, the large central area of the synagogue. However, the excavations did, indeed, reveal the Red Sea and Noah's ark mosaics.
"This panel is exactly as it should be," Magness said of the ark mosaic. "It's facing north, so people could see it as they entered from the south," where the main door would have been located.
Excavations at this site also uncovered coins spanning 2,300 years.
"The ancient coins … are critical for our knowledge of the monumental synagogue and the associated village," Nathan Elkins, a member of the research team and a professor of art history at Baylor University, said in a statement.
As is the case after each excavation season, the researchers will remove the uncovered mosaics for conservation and backfill the excavated areas. Excavations are scheduled to continue in the summer of 2017.
Digital Scan of Dead Sea Scrolls Reveal that Noah’s Ark Was Piramid Shaped
Digital Scan of Dead Sea Scrolls Reveal that Noah’s Ark Was Piramid Shaped
The newly digitized scroll fragments scanned by Dr. Alexey Yudistky, revealed some unexpected details of well-known biblical stories that have been released to the world wide public: Noah’s Ark was shaped like a pyramid.
The story of Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood is widely known, many old religions around the world share this myth, but with slim cultural differences. From India to ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and some North American tribes, few legends have survived the centuries without significant changes according to their culture, leading us to believe that there has been a global cataclysm that afflicted every culture of those days.
The Great Flood and Noah’s Ark is not mentioned only in the Book of Genesis, like it was commonly believed, as new related clues are revealed in the Dead Seas Scrolls.
The Dead Seas Scrolls are probably the greatest archaeological and biblical find, ever recorded in our history, the Bible itself being one large historical chronicle. The ancient scrolls are rather an archive of major events and mentions of symbolic personalities that had a massive influence over the history that took place in the last 2000 years.
Since their discovery almost 50 years ago by a Bedouin shepherd in the Qumran Caves of the Judean Desert, scientists have channeled all their knowledge to the restoration and deciphering of the 800 manuscripts that may hold unimaginable secrets that could shake the foundations of our most fundamental beliefs.
QUMRAN CAVE 4 IN THE JUDEAN DESERT, WHERE NINETY PERCENT OF THE SCROLLS WERE FOUND
Of the 800 scrolls, 200 comprise portions of the Hebrew Bible text and the rest are being thoroughly analyzed by the Israel Antiquities Authority within the Leon Levy Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Library Project. Using a custom-made camera, tens of thousands of scroll fragments have been scanned, each fragment being photographed 28 times at high resolution, with several different wavelengths of light. Thanks to nowadays’ sophisticated technology, archaeologists are able to read symbols and words that until recently were simply unintelligible hieroglyphs.
The newly digitized scroll fragments scanned by Dr. Alexey Yudistky, revealed some unexpected details of well-known biblical stories that have been released to the world wide public: Noah’s Ark was shaped like a pyramid. This was concluded after the correct translation of a word following the phrase “the ark’s tallness”, that was illegible until now: “ne’esefet”, meaning “gathered”, thus the ark’s ribs were gathered together at the top in the shape of a pyramid.
In addition to this evidence, a Greek translation of the bible called “the Septuagint”, dating from the 3rd century, described the Ark using a verb with a similar meaning of “gathered”. Medieval scholars like Maimonides also suggested that the Ark’s roof was pointy, a trait of a pyramidal shape.

Skeptics thought to be a mere bedtime story to feed one’s imagination, but now they have strong reasons to reconsider, as Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood are no longer just a biblical story. The Dead Sea Scrolls clear the controversia around this legendary event, since Christos Djonis claimed in this articles “Evidence of The Great Flood – Real or Myth?” that this was no fiction at all.
The lack of evidences is due to the archaical timeline, being estimated that the ocean levels started to stabilize after 7000 BC. Only between 6000 BC and 5000 BC, have been recorded signs of human activity near the shorelines. This span of 1000-2000 years of this complete human absence is most like due to the primitivity that made their existence untraceable, but luckily, we are the proof of man’s ability to get back on the course of evolution.
Overall, the light shed on the story of Noah’s Ark is tremendous news for those who seek the truth, for as the answers will come, more aching questions will rise in their ardent minds.
DAVID ICKE EXPLAINING THE REPTILIAN ET THEORY (video)
DAVID ICKE EXPLAINING THE REPTILIAN ET THEORY (video)
Are the global elites so evil because they are actually not from this world?
David Icke recently made headlines for a new appearance on the BBC where host Andrew Neil attempt to draw out Icke in the hopes of ridiculing Icke for his opinions and finding.
When Neil asks the question: “Do you still think the Royal Family were shape shifting lizards?” – to which David replied: “Yes, I do.”
In the following 30 minute presentation, Icke presents some clarification regarding the ‘reptilian’ issue in full and traces this idea’s lineage back to numerous historical examples that depict humanity supposedly interacting with non-human entities.
When it comes to alien lifeforms in the Solar System, Titan – the largest moon of Saturn is one of the most likely candidates.
Whenever considering the possibility of finding alien lifeforms in the universe, scientists are mostly focusing their search power on exoplanets, or celestial bodies that have the optimal conditions for liquid water to form. With this rapidly growing space race, Earth’s powerful nations have scattered their probes across the Solar System in the hope of being the first to stumble across lifeforms outside of our planet, be it intelligent or not.
One of the surprise candidates that could host alien life is Titan – Saturn’s moon that’s larger than Mercury and has an atmosphere one-and-a-half times as dense as Earth’s. This might satellite is very similar to our planet. Its surface is covered with seas, lakes and rivers that, unlike Earth’s watery composition, are made up of liquid methane and ethane. Although the nitrogen and methane present in the air are toxic for human beings, researchers suggest that other lifeforms could have developed on this particularsatellite.

Their assumptions are based on over a decade of thoroughly analyzing its surface using data collected by the Cassini-Huygens mission sent by NASA in collaboration with the European Space Station (ESA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). Cassini is not the only space probe to visit Saturn’s satellite, but rather the first to enter its orbit. Keeping this in mind, we can only think at what novel info the craft was able to gather from there, since NASA is already working on developing a submarine to explore the vast and unusual seas of Titan.
Adding up to the mystery of this oversized moon, researchers have discovered an unusual feature that seems to defy any logical explanation so far. Images received by Cassini orbiter revealed how, in July 2012, a huge chunk of land measuring approximately 100 square miles (260 square kilometers) has surfaced from beneath the Ligeia Mare, one of Titan’s largest seas. On August 21, 2014, this alleged island disappeared under the shallow portion of the sea, baffling the scientific crew who were unable to find a precise explanation.
Apart from this, scientists believe that a massive underground ocean is trapped within Titan, and that it could contain liquid water leaked from the frozen surface of the planet. There has been much debate on this topic, and researchers strongly suggest that these kind of underground oceans, which are scattered throughout different places in the Solar System, could give rise to alien life.
A recent study of the chemical composition of the planet showed that it contains hydrogen cyanide (HCN) molecules in the atmosphere, particles which react to form polymers, including polyimine that is able to absorb a considerable spectrum of light. Snatching all this light, polyimine could be a real catalyst for life, according to various researchers.
“Polyimine can exist as different structures, and they may be able to accomplish remarkable things at low temperatures, especially under Titan’s conditions,” said chemist Martin Rahm from Cornell University.
“We are used to our own conditions here on Earth. Our scientific experience is at room temperature and ambient conditions. Titan is a completely different beast,” he added.
With all these unusual features of Titan and the keen interest developed by NASA and the Europeans Space Station to furtherly explore the watery surface of this natural satellite, it’s likely that some form of extraterrestrial life has been spotted and seems within reach.
If they’ll find an advanced species of underwater inhabitants, or rather primordial lifeforms we can only speculate, but judging by the secrecy NASA has accustomed us to, and the unusual enthusiasm and energy directed towards Titan, is likely that something of extreme importance has already been discovered on the surface.
FBI releases documents with detail of Alien bodies, spacecraft and planet
FBI releases documents with detail of Alien bodies, spacecraft and planet
The Document declassified by the FBI states: “…Part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control, and the bodies of the visitors, and the craft also, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter…”
Numerous government around the world are slowly coping with the idea that the worldwide population has a right to know whether or not we are alone in the universe. In fact, the disclosure movement has never been as strong as it is today with countless Military officers, government officials, and astronauts speaking out about the existence of alien life and Alien spacecraft.
Among all of the governments on the planet, it is believed that the United States have a lot of disclosure to do. Presidential Candidate Hilary Clinton has stated that if she is elected President of the United States, she would disclose all alien related documents and get to the bottom of the UFO phenomenon.
Jon Podesta, who was President Barack Obama’s right man, and Chief of Staff under the Clinton administration tweeted not long ago that one of his biggest regrets of 2014 was his failure to “secure the disclosure of UFO files” and that “the time to pull the curtain back on this subject is long overdue. We have statements from the most credible sources, those in a position to know – about a fascinating phenomenon, the nature of which is yet to be determined.”
But despite serious attempts of disclosure, the government of the United States still maintains that they do not have knowledge of any information related to the Alien/UFO phenomenon.
However, many maintain that the reason why disclosure hasn’t happened yet isn’t because of the government. It’s very likely that such a subject might even go far beyond, extending into powerful corporations and a tight group of international elites.
Many governments around the globe have declassified a number of UFO-related documents which only proves that they have been extremely interested in the UFO phenomenon for years. However, not only have governments released classified information, agencies such as the FBI, NSA and CIA have also declassified some of their most secretive files on UFO’s and Alien life in the universe.
The crafts possess a type of radiant energy or a ray, which will easily disintegrate any attacking ship. They reenter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without trace.
Getting to the bottom of the declassified FBI document, the original one can be found by visiting this link which will take you to the FBI’s vault of declassified documents.
The declassified document was addressed to “certain scientists of distinction,” to“aeronautical and military authorities,” and to “a number of public officials.”
The declassified document is a letter sent to the director of FBI in Washington from their San Francisco office, detailing UFO’s and extraterrestrial.
“Lt. Colonel _X_X_ of G2, 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.” (Source)
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 a 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.
However, this is just one of the many files that have been released to the public which describe with great detail the visitations.
Many things remain a mystery. While the above-mentioned documents gives fascinating details about the visitations, it still leaves us with a umber of questions like: Is it possible that three are several races of aliens out there? Are they Physical or extra dimensional?
“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.” (source) (source) – Apollo 14 Astronaut, Air Force Captain and Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dr. Edgar Mitchell.
“Er is genoeg bewijs dat dinosaurussen en mensen tegelijkertijd hebben geleefd”
“Er is genoeg bewijs dat dinosaurussen en mensen tegelijkertijd hebben geleefd”
In de afgelopen weken waren kinderen druk in de weer met het sparen van dinoplaatjes van de Albert Heijn. Volgens gelovigen zijn de plaatjes te veel gericht op de evolutietheorie. Er is nu zelfs een website opgericht om christenen ‘een beter beeld te geven van de ware geschiedenis van dinosaurussen’.
Volgens sommige gelovigen blijkt uit de Bijbel dat de aarde ongeveer 6000 jaar bestaat. Dat botst met het heersende beeld van wetenschappers dat de prehistorische dieren zo’n 65 miljoen jaar geleden zijn uitgestorven.
Frans Gunnink zette samen met het Logos Instituut de website Dinodino.nl op. Op de site staat dat mens en dinosaurus samenleefden en dat sommige soorten bij de Zondvloed zijn meegevaren op de Ark van Noach. Er staan artikelen op met koppen als ‘Wat Freek je niet vertelt’, waarbij wordt verwezen naar presentator Freek Vonk, het boegbeeld van de plaatjes.
Draak
Gunnink stelt dat er genoeg bewijs is dat dino’s en mensen tegelijkertijd hebben geleefd: “Kijk naar draken, de beschrijvingen uit de middeleeuwen komen enorm overeen met het huidige beeld van dino’s. En dat terwijl er toen nog geen fossielen waren gevonden.”
Dino’s en mensen hebben in dezelfde tijd geleefd; door het lezen van de Bijbel is deze conclusie onvermijdelijk, vinden de initiatiefnemers.
Ontdekkingsreiziger Marco Polo zou een draak hebben gezien. Omdat het woord ‘dinosaurus’ pas in de 19e eeuw is bedacht, is dit volgens de initiatiefnemers een aanwijzing dat het wellicht om een dino gaat.
Koolstofdatering
Gunnink denkt dat dino’s als de Tyrannosaurus en Velociraptor zijn uitgestorven als gevolg van de steeds toenemende bevolking. “Evolutietheorie is nu eenmaal algemeen geaccepteerd binnen de maatschappij,” licht hij toe. “Dat betekent niet gelijk dat er geen ruimte is om er vraagtekens bij te plaatsen.”
In de Bijbel wordt niet over dino’s gesproken, maar volgens het Logos Instituut komt in het Bijbelboek Job wel de ‘Behemoth’ voor, een dier waarvan de beschrijving doet denken aan een dino met een lange nek. De standaardvertaling ‘nijlpaard’ of ‘olifant’ doet de tekst geweld aan, vindt het instituut.
Volgens het instituut is koolstofdatering onbetrouwbaar. “Ongeveer elke 5730 jaar vervalt de helft van de koolstof-14. Na 50.000 jaar is er te weinig over om te dateren. Toch wordt er koolstof-14 gevonden in dinobotten. Dat is opmerkelijk. In overblijfselen van een Tyrannosaurus zijn rode bloedcellen en zacht weefsel aangetroffen en in de hoorn van een Triceratops recent lijkende botcellen. Deze waarnemingen passen beter bij een jonge aarde,” aldus het instituut.
“NASA manipuleert foto’s om te verdoezelen dat er UFO’s op de maan zijn”
“NASA manipuleert foto’s om te verdoezelen dat er UFO’s op de maan zijn”
Een ex-adviseur van de NASA beweert dat medewerkers van de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie UFO’s uit maanfoto’s verwijderen voordat ze worden vrijgegeven. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
In 1971 werkte dr. Ken Johnston sr. in het Johnson Center van de NASA, waar hij foto’s van het Apolloprogramma en maanstenen moest opslaan en catalogiseren. Daar beweert hij te hebben gezien hoe foto-experts UFO’s en andere anomalieën wegpoetsten.
Volgens dr. Johnston zit er nogal een verschil tussen het oorspronkelijke beeldmateriaal en wat de NASA uiteindelijk publiekelijk beschikbaar heeft gemaakt. Hij claimt ook dat hooggeplaatste NASA-medewerkers hem opdracht gaven om vijf fotorolletjes van de maanmissies te vernietigen.
Gebouwen op de maan
Hij zei dat de rolletjes beter aan universiteiten of onderzoekscentra gedoneerd konden worden, maar die suggestie was aan dovemansoren gericht. Johnston zegt een aantal beelden bewaard te hebben. Volgens hem tonen ze bewijs voor onverklaarbare objecten en zelfs gebouwen en structuren op de maan.
Hij werd naar eigen zeggen ontslagen door het ruimteagentschap omdat hij de foto’s had gelekt. Toch werkte hij nooit rechtstreeks voor de NASA, maar voor Brown & Root, een bedrijf dat werd ingehuurd door de ruimtevaartorganisatie.
Verdoezeld
Sceptici zijn niet overtuigd omdat hij nog nooit oorspronkelijke NASA-beelden heeft laten zien en omdat de foto’s die in zijn boeken staan in het archief van het ruimteagentschap zijn terug te vinden.
Johnston is echter niet de enige ex-adviseur van de NASA die dergelijke beweringen heeft gedaan. Donna Hare, die begin jaren zeventig in de fotolaboratoria van de NASA heeft gewerkt, zei dat bewijs voor UFO’s wordt verdoezeld door het ruimteagentschap. Een beveiliger zou haar verteld hebben dat hij werd gedwongen om foto’s van UFO’s te verbranden.

Date of sighting: July 6, 2016
Location of sighting: Sun
This UFO flew past the SOHO/NASA sun satellite this week and its huge! This UFO is hundreds of meters across at its smallest, so how can NASA hide such things? They don't need too, because how many sun photos camera are in the public hands? Not many, so the government is one of the few organizations with such high tech equipment. Thusly, the silence we hear...its due to the publics unawareness of the things beyond Earth. Out of sight, out of mind.

Here is an odd conversation by Jean-Claude Juncker, the EU Commission President during his talk at Brussels. So why did he say this? It sounds like he was trying to hint at the others around him that he has inside information that they don't. That he is trying to tell them the truth, that he does consult with off world presidents and has constant communication with them, which helps him govern the EU Commission and thusly run Europe. Are aliens in control of the EU and its current situation? Aliens have interrupted in many facets of humanities history, so why not politics? Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Now we have heard about this sighting back in May just a little bit, but now a reader of UFO Sightings Daily pointed out there is a first hand account of a pilot talking about the UFO over the radio to the control tower in Istanbul. Thats some good evidence that this did happen. Also the fact that the Turkish Pilots feared for their job if they reported the UFO...sound 100% authentic. All we need now is a word for word translation of the video. Scott C.

I found this long cylinder ship parked on the side of a hill on comet 67P, the singing comet. The front of the cylinder has a gap going along its front that looks like a thin, dark rectangular window in the cockpit area. The sunlight is reflecting off its surface as it would a metal surface. The coloration of this ship is nothing like its surrounds, therefore its not part of it. I took a close up of the UFO, then added light to it, and to my surprise I found a row of windows on the right and left side of the ship. This confirms it. Its an alien spacecraft. Now...will Rossetta probe notice it or not? Probably not, ESA scientists are not trained to search for these alien artifacts like UFO researchers do, as you can well tell. Scott C.

KGB Files Reveal Russia UFO crash and recovery of 1968, Alien Autopsy (original video) UFO Sighting News.
KGB Files Reveal Russia UFO crash and recovery of 1968, Alien Autopsy (original video) UFO Sighting News
Date of UFO crash: March 1969 Location of UFO crash: Yekaterinburg, USSR This is the Secret KGB UFO Files, The Russian Crash of 1969. Its real, 100% and I can find no flaws in it. Its an old film bought on the blackmarket for 10K US and some how leaked to the public. I see why. The video shows both an alien craft, and a blueish green alien body that was recovered. This is enough to cause panic across the planet if the news ever got hold of it. You ask, are aliens real? But its probably the same questions they ask about us. I can vouch for this evidence at being real. You have my word on it. This leads to another thing...the continuing of the Apollo missions...covertly. NASA pretended to end the missions after Apollo 17, but they continued past 20. Russia was part of it. The NASA symbol has both flags in a cooperation displayed in the Apollo 20 videos. Apollo 20 took place about 1974-1975. Just 4-5 years after the UFO crash in the USSR. I remember talking to Willam Rutledge (astronaut on Apollo 20) on Youtube messages, and he said there was a cigar UFO and a triangle UFO in Deporte crater on our moon. They explored both. I had doubts, but I was the first person to ever find the ship in Deporte crater and report it to the public. William was very excited and didn't expect such a photo existed, but he liked it when I told him about it. He must have been about 77 when we spoke, but...may not be with us anymore and stopped talking to anyone after his Youtube account was hacked by the US government. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Report states: The details of a Russian Crash on or about 1969 are sketchy and somewhat suspect. This case comes from the so-called "Secret KGB Files," which were reportedly smuggled out of the former Soviet Union. Reportedly, $10,000 was paid for the information. The detailsof these secret files were first offered to the general public on 9-13-98 as part of a TNT special titled "The Secret UFO Files of the KGB." The show featured extraordinary film and still photographs of the UFO recovery, and also a portion of autopsy film on part of an alien body. The event itself, according to the files, occurred in the state of Sverdlovsky, which was formerly Yekatrinburg of the USSR. The crash story follows a familiar pattern normally associated with this type of report. The fiery crash of an unknown object occurred in March 1969. The site was secured by the Russian military, and one dead alien was found in the wreckage. The remains of the craft and alien were brought to a secure location, and the alien body was autopsied. Both still and moving pictures were taken of the craft, its retrieval, and the alien autopsy. The autopsy shows only an alien torso and arm. From the size of the body parts, the alien would have been an extremely small being. The TNT special features Roger Moore, veteran actor and former James Bond, who discusses other UFO events, along with interviews with UFO experts, CIA agents, and other film. Probably the most notable footage is from MIG gun cameras of confrontations with UFOs. There have been only a few still frames of this footage in America, and I have not been able as of this writing, 11-01-2002, to obtain the videos. The show itself is mediocre, and its only redeeming quality is the presentation of the UFO crash story. Supposedly, the crash story was validated by secret KGB documents. The footage at the crash site does seem to be authentic at least on several points. The truck in the film is a circa 1950 model ZIS151, which has not been used by the military for quite some time, and the truck would have been difficult to find to stage a hoax with. Other elements of the film do not exhibit any obvious signs of a hoax, as to the movement of the soldiers, the timing of the film as to shadows, and the UFO itself. There are also several documents shown to verify the event itself, and an eyewitness to the event who swears that the recovery mission did occur. The footage of the autopsy film shows personnel without caps and gowns, which seemed odd to me at first, but after some research I found that this was commonplace for that era in Russia. The furnishings in the room are acceptable, and in Russia have probably not changed much today. Three men in their 20's and 30's are performing the procedure, and one woman is taking notes. The note taker is identified as KGB stenographer O. A. Pshonikina. The alien's torso and arm are lying together on the table as the autopsy is performed, and there are documents shown to support the autopsy. Although the USA-Russia relationship is much improved over a few years ago, it still lacks. Any information received is subject to translation, and often times there are problems with interpretation. It is sad there is not more cooperation between the two countries. The case of the 1969 retrieval and autopsy are difficult to assess. Until more information is uncovered, it will remain unsubstantiated.
Here’s one new UFO video that was filmed with InfraRed camera. It shows an unidentified flying object that was flying really fast near a plane over Mudgee in Australia. This was taken on 12th June 2016.
Strange Objects Captured Over Clifton Park, New York
Strange Objects Captured Over Clifton Park, New York
The aliens were used to be the object of imagination and are, therefore, debatable. Whether or not you believe in them, it does not matter to most people because your imagination is a reality to other people. If your curiosity has brought you to the next level, you may research about UFO stories and see it for yourself. The strange sightings are not just about a drone hovering, but also alien visitations, animal mutilation, or human abduction.
Recently, there has been a strange object that freaked the viewer in Clifton Park, New York. According to him, the unknown object was ejecting orbs, specifically the drones. Unfortunately, the strange drone disappeared once he broke the camera. The aircraft is believed to be an anti-gravity in nature. In fact, it bears a resemblance of an airplane without wings. The difference is that it has no sounds.
Since people have different opinions, they are documenting anti-gravity technology based on the different perceptions. The shadow government in the US is autonomous tracking Americans unlawfully without public knowledge. Meanwhile, the US Military Industrial Complex is currently using A.R.V antigravity technology in modern aircraft. Unfortunately, as a cover for the black projects, the stars were disguised as extraterrestrials. This entity is designed to help the black government, and many airline companies have been used to cover these spy abduction programs. It was believed to be a part of the Eugenic Transhuman agenda.
If you can recall, numerous stories have been posted online, and many people are claiming they have been abducted without their knowledge. Through the knowledge of this technology, a lot of hidden truths will be uncovered. One of the reasons why extraterrestrial beings have remained a debatable object until now is the thought that some stories claimed by a genuine witness were hidden. However, it is not the end of the world. There are still more rooms for explanations.
Alien Sounds Recorded Near Jupiter by NASA’s Juno Spacecraft
Alien Sounds Recorded Near Jupiter by NASA’s Juno Spacecraft
Chilling, alien-like sounds have been recorded coming from Jupiter, and they could be made by enormous creatures living in the planet’s atmosphere.
The sounds were picked up by NASA’s Juno spacecraft, set to enter Jupiter’s orbit today [July 4th], after a five-year journey through interplanetary space.
The space probe is set to stabilize in a polar orbit and beam back information about the planet’s atmospheric composition, magnetic field and weather phenomena. It will also search for clues that could shed light on Jupiter’s formation, so the scientific community is pretty stoked about Juno’s arrival.
On June 24, Juno crossed the boundary of Jupiter’s magnetic field and that’s when the WAVES instrument aboard the craft started picking up a series of fascinating radio signals that sound otherworldly when shifted down into the audible spectrum.
NASA astronomers say this thunderous barrage is caused by a phenomenon known as the astrophysical bow shock. It occurs as a result of the interaction between a celestial object’s magnetic field and the flowing plasma that makes up solar wind. Traveling at supersonic speeds, these charged particles are slowed down and heated by the magnetic field they encounter, giving rise to the eerie, otherworldly sounds.
As majestic an explanation as this is, we know not to accept what we’ve been told as the irrefutable truth. We have little information about what goes on beneath Jupiter’s swirling clouds, and most of it comes from the data collected by a titanium probe dropped from the Galileo spacecraft into the gas giant’s atmosphere in July 1995. It survived for 57 minutes before being crushed by the rising pressure.
We know that earthly carbon-based lifeforms cannot survive on Jupiter but that doesn’t eliminate the possibility for Jovian life to appear and even flourish. Exobiologists believe exotic lifeforms could exist in Jupiter’s thick, 5,000 mile-deep atmosphere, which is composed mainly of hydrogen, but also contains ammonia, methane and water. These are the very gasses that were used in the famous Miller-Urey experiment, the one that demonstrated how the basic building blocks of life could be produced by reactions between the gasses in a planet’s atmosphere.
The experiment was simple: water vapor was added to a flask containing hydrogen gas, methane and ammonia. Miller then passed an electric current through the mixture and, lo and behold, after just one week of zapping the gas, the contents of the flask already showed traces of organic molecules and amino acids, the precursors of life. Jupiter has the gasses and it also has the lightning storms to perform its own experiments.
ARTIST’S RENDITION OF POSSIBLE LIFEFORMS ON A GAS GIANT
A number of scientists and writers have hypothesized the emergence of life in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere, with the conditions on the planet leading to the evolution of bizarre, enormous creatures dubbed atmospheric beasts.
In the 1971 science fiction novella A Meeting with Medusa, writer and futurist Arthur C. Clarke explored the possibility of future explorations of the giant planet and speculated on the characteristics of the lifeforms that might inhabit it. Clarke theorized that, alongside microscopic air plankton, Jupiter could be called home by large, jellyfish-like creatures the size of a small city. Held afloat by hydrogen-filled compartments, these rightly-called beasts would feed on the microscopic ones like the filter-feeders swimming in Earth’s oceans.
Even distinguished space scientists like Carl Sagan admitted this could be a possibility. With that in mind, listen once more to the sounds recorded by the Juno spacecraft on June 25, right after it passed Jupiter’s magnetopause. No, that’s not what happens to magnet-women later in life, it’s the area surrounding a planet where its own magnetic field is stronger than that of star it’s orbiting. Basically the planet’s home turf.
Could these incredible sounds have been made by something other than Jupiter’s astrophysical processes—its inhabitants, perhaps? The complexity of these rising and falling tones is something that needs to be taken into account and it’s been suggested before that this music of the celestial spheres strongly resembles the intricacies of intelligent speech.

Lisa voelt zich haar hele leven al ‘anders’. Ze gelooft dat ze een hybride is, zoals ze dat in UFO-kringen noemen. Hybrides worden vaak omschreven als kinderen van mensen die contact hebben gehad met aliens. Half mens, half alien dus.
Deze hybrides zeggen zich niet helemaal thuis te voelen op aarde. Ze hebben vaak indringende ogen, die diep in je ziel kijken, schrijft Earth Mystery News. Vaak hebben ze dromen waarin ze vliegen en buitenlichamelijke ervaringen waarbij ze de ruimte in gaan.
Hybrides zeggen ook dat ze zeer intuïtief zijn. Ze lijken op telepathische wijze te communiceren en lezen de gedachten van anderen. Lisa is naar eigen zeggen al vaak in contact gekomen met UFO’s. Bovendien zegt ze op mysterieuze wijze ter wereld te zijn gekomen.
“Ik ben hier met een reden. De meeste mensen zijn hier om andere redenen, maar toch zijn er denk ik veel mensen zoals ik,” zegt Lisa. “Er moet iets gedaan worden. We moeten dingen veranderen en dat is een zware last.”
Uitgerekend op 4 juli verscheen boven Colombia een wolkenformatie die rechtstreeks uit de film Independence Day leek te komen. Lokale bewoners legden vast hoe de reusachtige wolk over de stad Cartagena dreef.
De reuzenwolk, die sterk doet denken aan het ruimteschip uit de hitfilm uit 1996 met Will Smith, leek van binnen licht te geven. Mensen maakten met hun mobieltjes een aantal indrukwekkende filmpjes en foto’s.
Een aantal Colombianen belde uit angst de politie. Ook onder complottheoretici wordt er druk gespeculeerd over de wolk. Zo vermoeden sommigen dat achter de wolk een enorme UFO verscholen zit. Anderen stellen dat het een heel normaal weerfenomeen is.
De meteorologische dienst van Colombia liet weten dat de cumuluswolk is ontstaan als gevolg van ‘een verandering van luchtdruk’. De wolk zou niet gerelateerd zijn aan tropische golven in het noordelijke deel van het land.

Foto’s voeden theorie dat CERN ‘poorten naar de hel’ opent
Het Europese Centrum voor Kernonderzoek (CERN) ligt nu al enige tijd onder vuur. Sceptici menen dat er een duistere agenda schuilt achter de organisatie. Na publicatie van een aantal foto’s van de lucht boven CERN hebben sommige theoretici hun bezorgdheid geuit over de activiteiten die er plaatsvinden.
Het onderzoekscentrum, dat op de grens van Frankrijk en Zwitserland staat, bevat onder meer de Large Hadron Collider, ’s werelds grootste en meest krachtige deeltjesversneller. In 2013 ontdekten wetenschappers die ermee werken het Higgs-bosondeeltje.
Na deze wetenschappelijke doorbraak kregen François Englert en Peter Higgs, die het bestaan van het deeltje voorspelde, de Nobelprijs voor de Natuurkunde. Wetenschappers lieten zich lovend uit over de ontdekking, maar sommige internetgebruikers zijn minder te spreken over CERN.

Weermanipulatie
Op de website Freedom Fighter Times staan bijvoorbeeld meerdere artikelen over het onderzoekscentrum. In mei verscheen er een artikel op de site waarin werd gesteld dat CERN ‘poorten naar andere dimensies, mogelijk zelfs de hel opende’.
“CERN is verantwoordelijk voor weermanipulatie en het openen van poorten,” schreven ze. “Dit is onderdeel van het CLOUD-experiment. Rond CERN gebeuren vreemde dingen die je aan het denken zetten.”
Demonen
In een YouTube-filmpje uiten de mensen achter de Freedom Fighter Times hun zorgen over CERN en wat er mogelijk in het deeltjeslaboratorium gebeurt. “CERN staat erom bekend poorten te openen, ook al ontkennen ze het; er is onlangs iets vreemds vastgelegd in de wolken boven de Large Hadron Collider.”
Afgelopen jaar schreef de site dat er ‘demonen waren gezien op foto’s van de stralen van de Large Hadron Collider’. Ondertussen hebben onderzoekers van het lab een onbekende familie van exotische deeltjes gevonden. De deeltjes zijn uiterst instabiel en kunnen in de alledaagse materie geen rol spelen.

The US military’s high-priority UFO reporting system
The US military’s high-priority UFO reporting system
The U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) official investigation into UFOs ended in 1969, and since then, the military has claimed they have no interest in the topic, nor do they investigate UFOs. However, through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), investigators have uncovered several documents that would indicate UFOs have been of interest, and that the most important files were most likely never made public.
The USAF began officially investigating UFOs in 1948 as Project Sign. This evolved into Project Grudge, and finally into the well-known, Project Blue Book. The best behind the scenes look into these projects was written by Blue Book’s director, Captain Edward Ruppelt. It is titled, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, and can be read on the internet for free.

Much has been made of the Blue Book investigations, and as Ruppelt admits in his book, there were many extraordinary investigations that have yet to be solved. However, what is perhaps more extraordinary is that the most significant military reports were not sent to Blue Book.
Blue Book was closed in 1969, after a study conducted by the University of Colorado and the USAF determined there was no merit to the project. The reasons Project Blue Book should be closed were outlined in a document dated October 20, 1969, prepared by USAF Deputy Director of Development Brigadier General C.H. Bolender.
To highlight his point that Blue Book was unnecessary, he wrote “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 (Atch 10).”
Bolender continued, “The Air Force experience therefore confirms the impression of the University of Colorado researchers ‘that the defense function could be performed within the framework established for intelligence and surveillance operations without the continuance of a special unit such as Project Blue Book.’”
So what is JANAP 146? JANAP stands for Joint Army, Navy, Air Force Publication, and documents such as the Air Force Manual 55-11 are based off of them. JANAP 146 details “Communication Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings [aka CIRVIS].” According to a copy of JANAP 146 found on the NSA’s website, this includes reporting “Unidentified flying objects.”
Excerpt from JANAP 146 on NSA website.
A website hosted by the Library and Archives of Canada regarding Canada’s UFO files, includes a poster with images of UFOs used to demonstrate what was to be reported. The website says that Canada instituted a joint reporting system with the U.S. called CIRIVS/MERINT in 1959-1960. However, copies of JANAP 146 can be found dating back to the early 1950s. The most recent reference to the JANAP 146 instructions was found in an U.S. Air Force document called Air Force Instruction (AFI) 10-206 in 2011.
Section of poster showing what to report.
The circumstances surrounding the deletion of this reference are very peculiar. John Greenewald, creator ofThe Black Vault, often referenced AFI 10-206 in lectures and even included it in a History channel documentary on UFOs he helped produce. He felt it demonstrated that despite what they tell the public, the USAF is still interested in UFOs.
In 2011, Lee Speigel, staff writer for The Huffington Post, decided to write an article on the document. Greenewald helped him find the document on the USAF website, and sure enough, it still referenced reporting UFOs. However, a few days later, when Speigel went to get a screenshot of the document for his story, the chapter had been changed. He wrote about this coincidence in his article.
Greenewald sent a FOIA request to get information on what had changed and why the changes had been made. They sent him a report, and in it, they list CIRVIS as no longer existing or being required. Even so, the timing of its removal was extraordinary.
On his website, Greenewald also chronicles his effort to find the CIRVIS UFO reports. CIRVIS reports were to be sent to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). However, when Greenewald sent a FOIA request for these files, he was sent a response that stated: “NORAD is a binational command established by Volume 33, United States Treaties (UST), page 1277, subject to control of both Canadian and US Government agencies as defined in the Act and consequently is not subject to the US FOIA.”
Although, according to this statement, they were not required to send Greenewald their UFO files, Greenewald says, “The letter went on to state that in the spirit of the FOIA, they looked for UFO information but found no records.”
Greenewald finds that odd. Especially, after finding out that the Canadians were much more open with their files, and they did receive CIRVIS UFO reports.
Greenewald says in “circa 2000,” he decided to contact the Canadian government to inquire if he could get copies of any UFO reports they received via CIRVIS. Canada’s version of FOIA is the Access to Information Act (AIA). Greenewald called Canada’s Department of National Defense to find out if, as an U.S. citizen he could submit an AIA request.
He says he asked the person who answered the phone this question, and was told if the files were released to a Canadian, it should not be a problem to also get them to him. Greenewald then explained the types of files he was looking for, and to his utter amazement, the Canadian official said he had them laying right there on his desk. For $3 Greenewald was able to have the files shipped to him, and now has them on his website. There are several UFO sightings from the 90s in the documents.
Excerpt from a Canadian CIRVIS UFO file.
So where have the U.S. reports gone? It could be NORAD is being less than honest when they say they do not have any UFO reports, or they are playing games and their reports do not use the term “UFO.” Efforts to retreive these files are still underway. However, there is another avenue that is used to report important UFO events.
In the place of CIRVIS, AFI 10-206 now references what is called Operational Reporting (OPREP). In the past, UFO researchers have noted the term OPREP-3 on UFO documents. Australian UFO researcher Paul Dean, has been taking a closer look, and it appears this may be the way important UFO sightings are being reported by the military today.
OPREP excerpt from AFI 10-206.
(Credit: USAF)
The current AFI 10-206 states: “The OPREP-3 system provides CSAF [Chief of Staff of the Air Force] and intermediate commanders the information necessary for timely operational decisions. The main criterion for inclusion in the OPREP-3 system is essential information for command and control of aerospace forces.”
In other words, these are reports that are so important they need to be quickly communicated straight up to the top of command.
The instructions give guidance to different levels of importance and categories of reports that are identified by “flagwords.” For instance, an OPREP-3 PINNACLE (OPREP-3P) is a report that requires immediate notification to command and, among other things, is of “national-level interest.” NUCFLASH is used for missile launches and re-entering space debris. BROKEN ARROW is a nuclear weapon detonation or radioactive contamination. FADED GIANT relates to nuclear reactor or radiological accidents or incidents. The lowest level is BEELINE, which is an OPREP-3 report that is AF-level, but not national-level.
Navy “flagwords” for OPREP-3 reporting.
There are many levels of OPREP-3 reporting, but these are some that we will reference in this story. Dean has also found that OPREP-3 is used among all branches of the military, and some branches have their own flagwords.
Dean first noticed that OPREP-3 was being used to report UFOs when he was looking into UFO cases in the 70s, in particular a case from the Pinecastle Electronic Warfare Range in Florida on May 14, 1978. The casemade it into the papers, including a newspaper covering the military called Pacific Stars and Stripes.
According to the OPREP-3 report, the incident began at about 10 pm local time when a woman called the Pinecastle Range to ask if they had any flares being dropped in the area. The duty officer said no, and she described seeing strange lights above nearby trees. She said they were red, green and white. Soon after she disconnected, another witness called saying he and around 18 other witnesses were also seeing the lights.
Naval personnel also saw the lights, and they were able to track the object on radar. According to the report, the radar operator said the object seemed to be “evading his efforts to lock and track it on the computer,” and at one point the object was moving at 400-500 knots (about 460-575 mph).
The report was marked OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE, a Navy flagword that means the incident is of Navy interest, but not national, and does not fit under another flagword.
There has also been at least one report that has garnered an OPREP-3 PINNACLE , which, as seen above, is a highly important report needing immediate attention. Dean discovered this file in a group of files that was released from a FOIA request by UFO researchers Barry Greenwood and Lawrence Fawcett for the booksClear Intent and UFO Cover Up: What the Government Won’t Say.
This report was part of a string of sightings on the U.S. and Canadian border. This file can also be found on the Department of Defense (DoD) website. It is on page 39 of a DoD pdf of UFO files. The report reads: “A visual sighting of an unidentified object has reported at Loring CRC 4NM NNW of Loring AFB.”
This was likely rated PINNACLE because Loring Air Force base houses nuclear weapons.

In another case, the OPREP-3 reports state that an unidentified helicopter or low flying aircraft flew over the weapons storage area at Wurtsmigh AFB in Michigan. The aircraft were never found or identified.
It is no wonder that these cases are deserving of a vital reporting system such as OPREP-3. It is alos now wonder that despite telling the public they are not interested in UFOs, that they are in fact investigating these shocking cases of unidentified aircraft violating our most secure airspace. Recently, we covered the story of the release of a documentary with military witnesses who had been present at nuclear bases when UFOs were spotted.
Dean says he and his UK based colleague David Charmichael, are still submitting FOIA requests for OPREP-3 UFO reports, but thus far, have been told they do not exist. As he notes in his article, it is likely a matter of getting the wording right. It is a sort of game.
The DoD has posted a document on OPREP-3 that was released due to a FOIA request by a man named Armen Victorian. Dean says Charmichael was in contact with Victorian in the past, and that Victorian had received a letter from the Office of the Secretary of Defence (OSD) that stated: “OPREP–3 reports containing information relating to unknown objects near US military installations are considered extremely sensitive, and thus not releasable.”

While that rings true, Dean has not been able to contact Victorian to get a copy of the letter, and they have not received a similar response to their FOIA requests. It would be shocking to have the military admit they have information on unknown objects, even though the OPREP-3 documents released thus far demonstrate unknown aircraft have been observed and tracked on radar.
Dean and Charmichael have received the response, “…the responsibilities of addressing unidentified aerial devices or objects fall directly under the control of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD)…”
Of course, NORAD is not subject to FOIA – isn’t that convenient, and the FAA has recently told Greenewald they have no UFO files, which is in contrast to earlier statements.
NORAD has also told Dean they do not study “unknown tracks” or “NORAD remaining unknowns.”
In an interview on Open Minds UFO Radio, Dean says NORAD has told him they do not study “unknown tracks” or “NORAD remaining unknowns.” He has been able to track those reports to an organization called the Center for Aerospace Analysis, but that the organization no longer exists.
Dean continues to pursue NORAD for answers, and we will be sure to update you on what he finds.
Project Blue Book includes thousands of reports, and many of them are very interesting and, according to the USAF, around 701 of them remain unsolved. Even more important is the fact that these did not include the most important cases. Those apparently went to CIRVIS and/or OPREP-3. The paper trail shows us UFO reports did go to OPREP-3, and the few reports that have been released, along with the credible testimony of military witnesses, demonstrate unidentified objects flew over bases with nuclear weapons, and the military did take notice.
Perhaps, the dogged pursuit of these files will result in further enlightening us on the facts of these cases, and adding to the evidence that something, or someone, with capabilities beyond our own, might be compromising our most secure military airspace at will.

UFO Move Toward Jet Over Australia, Seen in Infrared, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 2016 Location of sighting: Mudgee, Australia This video was taken with a special infrared converted camera. All cameras have a filter in them to cut out the infrared. This camera he uses has had the filter taken out so it can see infrared, then he placed the IR filter over the lens so only IR light is seen. More about IR cameras here. This orb was caught flying past a passenger jet over Australia this week. The orb just appears out of nowhere and slows down near the jet as if it were scanning it. Orbs are often seen near jets and contrails. This is a very nice catch by ColourUFO of Youtube. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Wow, Steven Barone is our eyes in the sky over Vegas. He's got some amazing catches of UFOs over the mountains behind vegas, where there is a USAF base called Nellis. Nellis is famous for having a alien Tall Whites base located underground behind the old firing range. This may be some of the Tall White technology in the hands of the USAF being tested at night. The lights, are the propulsion. Why not go there to investigate? Because its top secret gov property. You can't.
I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of January 1, 2015. This video is a remake and I was torn as to whether or not I should speed it up because it is nearly twenty-three minutes long. I chose to show it at actual speed because I do get a lot of feedback and criticism saying I shouldn't speed them up. The problem is that very few people have the time to watch a long video and speeding slow moving objects up allows more people to watch and it makes it easier to see how they are moving. Also, some nights I end up with hours of footage. I already have three external hard drives where I save the video files and they aren't cheap. That's approximately eight terabytes of video. Despite all that, I wanted to run this one at actual speed. I try real hard not to say anything I am not sure about when I put out a video but in this case, after watching it again I must say that when the video begins it appears to be a V-shaped object with brighter lights on the front and sides. It levels off and you can't see the shape anymore but if you watch long enough you will notice a number of lights coming out of it and a couple going to it. If I have ever caught any motherships on video which I am not sure I have this could be one of them. It sat there for more than twenty minutes.
UFO Hunter Claims Webcams de Mexico Shows Convincing UFO Footage
UFO Hunter Claims Webcams de Mexico Shows Convincing UFO Footage
Another fleet of bright orbs flying around the active Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico has made rounds online as UFO hunters claim it is probably the most compelling video of UFOs in recent times.
UFO hunters believe a fleet of bright orbs emerged around the volcano during its eruption. In a video captured by Webcams de Mexico – live cameras monitoring major active volcanoes in the country including Colima and Popocatepetl – on June 19 at 12:12 a.m. local time, the said ball of lights become visible.
A lot of the same UFO videos have been caught for the last five years, but for some UFO enthusiasts the latest one is the most impressive video from the Mexican volcano cam ever emerged. They pointed out over 10 of these mysterious aerial objects flying around the volcano.
According to some observers, the camera had on its infrared mode, which is probably the reason these UFOs are only seen in the camera and not visible to the human eyes. However, a UFO investigator dismissed this claim of UFOs swarming around the active volcano.
Scott Brando, who runs Ufoofinterest website, explained that such so-called anomalies are typically caused by insects flying in front of the camera lens or just dust.
Brando continued that the infrared/night vision webcam is more sensitive to bugs on the camera lens or to the small light source, and eruption causes a similar effect. He said that dust near the camera lens tends to be brighter, and the furthest debris looks less bright.
Massive 'Lava Lamp' Blobs Deep Inside Earth Have Scientists Puzzled
Massive 'Lava Lamp' Blobs Deep Inside Earth Have Scientists Puzzled
By Greg Uyeno, Staff Writer

Two continent-size blobs of hot — and possibly molten — rock can be found deep underground, about halfway to the center of the Earth, according to a new study. These curious structures — each of which is so large that it would be 100 times taller than Mount Everest — could be made up of materials that may shed light on how the Earth formed, the researchers said.
One of the blobs is located beneath the Pacific Ocean, and the other can be found beneath the Atlantic. These underground structures start where the Earth's mantle meets the core, but they send "plumes" up through the rock like a Lava Lamp, the researchers said.
Scientists now think these masses differ from the surrounding rock in more than just temperature. They're also "compositionally distinct," meaning they could contain materials not typically found in the rest of the Earth's mantle. Yet even some of the most basic information about the blobs is still a mystery. [Photo Timeline: How the Earth Formed]
"To me, the big unanswered question is, what is it, and how did it form?" said the paper's lead author Edward Garnero, a professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University.
Scientists have observed the blobs for decades by monitoring seismic activity in the two regions. Different types of seismic waves travel at different speeds, depending on the type of rock the blobs are moving through. And by comparing the timing and delay of signals from multiple locations, seismologists can build models of what's going on in the Earth's interior.
The blobs are characterized by slower wave speeds, which suggests they are a different temperature from the rest of the Earth's mantle, the researchers said. But at some of the edges, normal wave speeds transition abruptly to low wave speeds. A pure temperature difference would result in a more gradual change, the scientists said, which suggests the blobs are likely made up of something different from what makes up their surroundings.
Because they're big and characterized by the slower wave speeds, the blobs have been called large low velocity provinces (LLVPs). And when the speed of one type of wave, shear waves, is even slower than would be expected, scientists call the areas large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs). But beyond that, not much is known about the origin or composition of these strange rocky blobs.
"The LLSVPs are definitely there, but the terrible name they have been given reflects the fact that we don't really know what they are," Richard Carlson, a geochemist at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., who wasn't involved with the new paper, wrote in an email to Live Science.
The Lava Lamp comparison is appropriate — except when this Lava Lamp blob reaches the top, it spills or explodes out of the Earth's surface, Garnero said.
If an especially large "superplume" of magma from one of these blobs were to make it to the surface, it would result in "massive eruptions where the lava will come out for millions of years at a time," Garnero said. There isn't much cause for alarm, though. "The next one could be on its way," he said, "but it could be a million years away."
Scientists aren't sure if the blobs are made of material from the Earth's crust or if the chemical difference dates back to the Earth's formation.
"If we understood these 'blobs' better, that would represent a huge step forward in understanding the deep workings of our planet," Wendy Mao, a geoscientist at Stanford University who was not involved with the new paper, wrote in an email to Live Science.
Secret World of Primeval Rivers Lies Beneath Greenland Glacier
Secret World of Primeval Rivers Lies Beneath Greenland Glacier
By Tia Ghose, Senior Writer
A secret network of rivers was recently discovered beneath the Jakobsvahn Isbrae glacier in Greenland. The primeval river network is mostly dry, but water may still flow through the riverbeds along the margins of the ice, researchers believe.

A network of ancient rivers lies frozen in time beneath one of Greenland's largest glaciers, new research reveals.
The subglacial river network, which threads through much of Greenland's landmass and looks, from above, like the tiny nerve fibers radiating from a brain cell, may have influenced the fast-moving Jakobshavn Isbrae glacier over the past few million years.
"The channels seem to be instrumental in controlling the location and form of the Jakobshavn ice stream — and seem to show a clear influence on the onset of fast flow in this region," study co-author Michael Cooper, a doctoral candidate in geography at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, told Live Science. "Without the channels present underneath, the glacier may not exist in its current location or orientation." [See Images of Greenland's Gorgeous Glaciers]
Fast-moving glacier
The Jakobshavn Isbrae glacier in Greenland is the world's fastest glacier; it races toward the sea at the breakneck pace of 11 miles (17 kilometers) per year. The speedy glacier is dumping huge amounts of ice into the sea and is Greenland's main contributor to sea level rise, raising levels about 1 millimeter (0.04 inches) between 2000 and 2010, researchers previously told Live Science.
Climate scientists have zeroed in on this fast-moving glacier in recent years because it may be a harbinger of climate change to come. It is melting quickly: The glacier has lost more than 9,000 gigatons of ice since 1900, according to a 2015 study in the journal Nature.
A secret world, locked in ice
As part of the effort to characterize Jakobshavn, Cooper and his colleagues used ice-penetrating radar to peer beneath the massive hunk of ice and analyze the height of the bedrock below.
The radar revealed a secret world, frozen in ice. Beneath Jakobshavn lies a stunning landscape of jaw-dropping canyons, some of which are roughly the size of the Grand Canyon; dramatic ravines; and a lacework of mountain streams. By analyzing the shape of the valleys and canyons beneath the ice, the team determined that these features were likely formed by rivers cutting the rock away over time, rather than by the glacier.
"The shape of the valleys was V-shaped, rather than U-shaped; the flow network had a dendritic or tree-like structure; and the long profiles showed a smooth, concave-up shape," Cooper told Live Science. These are good clues that the channel system was carved by rivers, not glaciers, he added.
Thus, the landscape must have formed at least 3.5 million years ago, prior to the ice sheet's formation. At that time, the area may have been much warmer and home to forests and shrubland, Cooper said.
"I imagine the landscape would have been home to a lot of life," Cooper said.
The glacier has had two effects. Near the interior, where the ice is the thickest, it has preserved the primeval landscape. At the edges, glacial ice has deepened some of the canyons through erosion, Cooper said.
The network of rivers that lies beneath the ice is now mostly dry, but some water does still flow.
"Near the margins, toward the outlet glacier, Jakobshavn Isbrae, the channels may well have water flowing through, as part of the modern-day subglacial drainage system," meaning water is seeping from the ice's surface to the bottom of the glacier, flowing along the edges of the ice-sheet bottom, he said.
Science and the internet have an uneasy relationship: Science tends to move forward through a careful and tedious evaluation of data and theory, and the process can take years to complete. In contrast, the internet community generally has the attention span of Dory, the absent-minded fish of "Finding Nemo"(and now "Finding Dory") — a meme here, a celebrity picture there — oh, look … a funny cat video.
Thus people who are interested in serious science should be extremely cautious when they read an online story that purports to be a paradigm-shifting scientific discovery. A recent example is one suggesting that a new force of nature might have been discovered. If true, that would mean that we have to rewrite the textbooks.
As a physicist, I'd like to shed a disciplined scientific light on the claim.
In an article submitted on April 7, 2015, to the arXiv repository of physics papers, a group of Hungarian researchers reported on a study in which they focused an intense beam of protons (particles found in the center of atoms) on thin lithium targets. The collisions created excited nuclei of beryllium-8, which decayed into ordinary beryllium-8 and pairs of electron-positron particles. (The positron is the antimatter equivalent of the electron.)

They claimed that their data could not be explained by known physical phenomena in the Standard Model, the reigning model governing particle physics. But, they purported, they could explain the data if a new particle existed with a mass of approximately 17 million electron volts, which is 32.7 times heavier than an electron and just shy of 2 percent the mass of a proton. The particles that emerge at this energy range, which is relatively low by modern standards, have been well studied. And so it would be very surprising if a new particle were discovered in this energy regime.
However, the measurement survived peer review and was published on Jan. 26, 2016, in the journalPhysical Review Letters, which is one of the most prestigious physics journals in the world. In this publication, the researchers, and this research, cleared an impressive hurdle. [What's That? Your Physics Questions Answered]
Their measurement received little attention until a group of theoretical physicists from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), turned their attention to it. As theorists commonly do with a controversial physics measurement, the team compared it with the body of work that has been assembled over the last century or so, to see if the new data are consistent or inconsistent with the existing body of knowledge. In this case, they looked at about a dozen published studies.
What they found is that though the measurement didn't conflict with any past studies, it seemed to be something never before observed — and something that couldn't be explained by the Standard Model.
New theoretical framework
To make sense of the Hungarian measurement, then, this group of UCI theorists invented a new theory.
The theory invented by the Irvine group is really quite exotic. They start with the very reasonable premise that the possible new particle is something that is not described by existing theory. This makes sense because the possible new particle is very low mass and would have been discovered before if it were governed by known physics. If this were a new particle governed by new physics, perhaps a new force is involved. Since traditionally physicists speak of four known fundamental forces (gravity,electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces), this hypothetical new force has been dubbed "the fifth force."
Theories and discoveries of a fifth force have a checkered history, going back decades, with measurements and ideas arising and disappearing with new data. On the other hand, there are mysteries not explained by ordinary physics like, for example, dark matter. While dark matter has historically been modeled as a single form of a stable and massive particle that experiences gravity and none of the other known forces, there is no reason that dark matter couldn't experience forces that ordinary matter doesn't experience. After all, ordinary matter experiences forces that dark matter doesn't, so the hypothesis isn't so silly.
There is no reason dark matter couldn't experience forces that ordinary matter doesn't experience. Here, in the galaxy cluster Abell 3827, dark matter was observed interacting with itself during a galaxy collision.

There are many ideas about forces that affect only dark matter and the term for this basic idea is called "complex dark matter." One common idea is that there is a dark photon that interacts with a dark charge carried only by dark matter. This particle is a dark matter analog of the photon of ordinary matter that interacts with familiar electrical charge, with one exception: Some theories of complex dark matter imbue dark photons with mass, in stark contrast with ordinary photons. [Gallery: Dark Matter Throughout the Universe]
If dark photons exist, they can couple with ordinary matter (and ordinary photons) and decay into electron-positron pairs, which is what the Hungarian research group was investigating. Because dark photons don’t interact with ordinary electric charge, this coupling can only occur because of the vagaries of quantum mechanics. But if scientists started seeing an increase in electron-positron pairs, that might mean they were observing a dark photon.
The Irvine group found a model that included a "protophobic" particle that was not ruled out by earlier measurements and would explain the Hungarian result. Particles that are "protophobic," which literally means "fear of protons," rarely or never interact with protons but can interact with neutrons (neutrophilic).
The particle proposed by the Irvine group experiences a fifth and unknown force, which is in the range of 12 femtometers, or about 12 times bigger than a proton. The particle is protophobic and neutrophilic. The proposed particle has a mass of 17 million electron volts and can decay into electron-positron pairs. In addition to explaining the Hungarian measurement, such a particle would help explain some discrepancies seen by other experiments. This last consequence adds some weight to the idea.
Paradigm-shifting force?
So this is the status.
What is likely to be true? Obviously, data is king. Other experiments will need to confirm or refute the measurement. Nothing else really matters. But that will take a year or so and having some idea before then might be nice. The best way to estimate the likelihood the finding is real is to look at the reputations of the various researchers involved. This is clearly a shoddy way to do science, but it will help shade your expectations.
So let's start with the Irvine group. Many of them (the senior ones, typically) are well- regarded and established members of the field, with substantive and solid papers in their past. The group includes a spectrum of ages, with both senior and junior members. In the interest of full disclosure, I know some of them personally and, indeed, two of them have read the theoretical portions of chapters of books I have written for the public to ensure that I didn't say anything stupid. (By the way, they didn't find any gaffes, but they certainly helped clarify certain points.) That certainly demonstrates my high regard for members of the Irvine group, but possibly taints my opinion. In my judgment, they almost certainly did a thorough and professional job of comparing their new model to existing data. They have found a small and unexplored region of possible theories that could exist.
On the other hand, the theory is pretty speculative and highly improbable. This isn't an indictment … all proposed theories could be labeled in this way. After all, the Standard Model, which governs particle physics, is nearly a half century old and has been thoroughly explored. In addition, ALL new theoretical ideas are speculative and improbable and almost all of them are wrong. This also isn't an indictment. There are many ways to add possible modifications to existing theories to account for new phenomena. They can't all be right. Sometimes none of the proposed ideas are right.
However, we can conclude from the reputation of the group's members that they have generated a new idea and have compared it to all relevant existing data. The fact that they released their model means that it survived their tests and thus it remains a credible, if improbable, possibility.
What about the Hungarian group? I know none of them personally, but the article was published in Physical Review Letters — a chalk mark in the win column. However, the group has also published two previous papers in which comparable anomalies were observed, including a possible particle with a mass of 12 million electron volts and a second publicationclaiming the discovery of a particle with a mass of about 14 million electron volts. Both of these claims were subsequently falsified by other experiments.
Further, the Hungarian group has never satisfactorily disclosed what error was made that resulted in these erroneous claims. Another possible red flag is that the group rarely publishes data that doesn't claim anomalies. That is improbable. In my own research career, most publications were confirmation of existing theories. Anomalies that persist are very, very, rare.
So what’s the bottom line? Should you be excited about this new possible discovery? Well…sure…possible discoveries are always exciting. The Standard Model has stood the test of time for half a century, but there are unexplained mysteries and the scientific community is always looking for the discovery that points us in the direction of a new and improved theory. But what are the odds that this measurement and theory will lead to the scientific world accepting a new force with a range of 12 fm and with a particle that shuns protons? My sense is that this a long shot. I am not so sanguine as to the chances of this outcome.
Of course, this opinion is only that…an opinion, albeit an informed one. Other experiments will also be looking for dark photons because, even if the Hungarian measurement doesn't stand up to scrutiny, there is still a real problem with dark matter. Many experiments looking for dark photons will explore the same parameter space (e.g. energy, mass and decay modes) in which the Hungarian researchers claim to have found an anomaly. We will soon (within a year) know if this anomaly is a discovery or just another bump in the data that temporarily excited the community, only to be discarded as better data is recorded. And, no matter the outcome, good and better science will be the eventual result.

Researchers Spotted Something Very Strange in the Sands of Mars
Researchers Spotted Something Very Strange in the Sands of Mars

No, it’s not aliens writing messages in the sand. But there is something weird happening on Mars’ surface—and it’s something that hasn’t been seen anywhere else in the universe.
Researchers looking at images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Curiosity rover spotted a strange combination of almost wave-like ripples forming in the sands of Mars. Over time, these formations often even solidified into rock, resulting in these strange landscape photos:

The research into the unique Martian features was led by Caltech’s Mathieu Lapôtre and is detailed today in Science. The researchers say that the ripples are formed by the wind, and they owe their unique appearance to some peculiarities of the Martian atmosphere.
We see sand dunes formed by the wind here on Earth, too, of course. But these Martian sand formations are something completely different. The tiny peaks are not as big as the dunes we see form on Earth, and yet they’re much bigger and sturdier than the ripples that a breeze stirs up in the sand. In fact, the formations, which the researchers are calling “wind-drag ripples,” look like something on Earth—but not anything we see on land. Instead, they look remarkably similar to underwater currents.

The reason for the similarity, Lapôtre told Gizmodo, is Mars’ thin atmosphere.
“It is the low density of the Martian atmosphere that increases the viscosity of air on Mars,” he said, “and thus promotes the formation of the large Martian ripples through wind-drag.”
Although the feature has only been spotted on Mars so far, Lapôtre thinks it’s possible we’ll find similar features elsewhere—we just haven’t gotten close enough to see them yet.
“Comet 67P/Churyumov Gerasimenko and Pluto come to mind,” he said. “While ripple-like features have been previously observed on the comet during the Rosetta mission, the spatial resolution of the beautiful images taken by the New Horizons spacecraft are likely too coarse to resolve possible wind-drag ripples on the grounds of Pluto.”

The formations don’t just look interesting—they could also reveal how Mars’ atmosphere, which was once more Earth-like, became the way it is.
“Because the spacing and size of wind-drag ripples vary with the density of the atmosphere under which they form, we can now look for preserved ‘fossil’ wind-drag ripples in ancient sandstones on Mars, and constrain past atmospheric conditions,” Lapôtre said.
He’s already used the technique on the 3.7 billion year old Burns Formation in Victoria crater, which Opportunity visited in 2007. Although the formation is incredibly old, the ripples are still present. That means that Mars probably lost its thick atmosphere sometime before that 3.7 billion year mark.
Astronomen hebben voor het eerst een planeet (buiten ons zonnestelsel) ontdekt met drie zonnen, zo heeft de Europese Zuidelijke Sterrenwacht ESO vandagag bekendgemaakt, parallel met een publicatie in het wetenschappelijke vakblad Science.
De thuisplaneet van Star Wars-held Luke Skywalker - Tatooine - is een vreemde wereld met twee zonnen aan de hemel. Maar nu hebben astronomen een nóg vreemdere wereld ontdekt.
Onder leiding van de Universiteit van Arizona stootten de astronomen met de VLT-telescoop van de ESO in Chili immers op planeet HD 131399Ab. Het is een uniek object: zijn omloopbaan om de helderste van de drie sterren is verreweg de wijdste die ooit in een meervoudig stersysteem is waargenomen. Zulke banen zijn vaak instabiel, vanwege de complexe en veranderlijke zwaartekrachtsaantrekking van de beide andere sterren in het systeem. Dat hier ook planeten in stabiele banen zouden worden aangetroffen gold als zeer onwaarschijnlijk, zegt de ESO.
HD 131399Ab staat op een afstand van ongeveer 320 lichtjaar in het sterrenbeeld Centaurus. Met een leeftijd van ongeveer 16 miljoen jaar behoort hij tot de jongste exoplaneten die tot nu toe zijn ontdekt. Bovendien is het één van de weinige planeten waar directe opnamen van zijn gemaakt. Binnen deze laatste categorie is hij één van de 'koudste' (580 °C) en 'zwaarste' (4 Jupitermassa's).
Gedurende ongeveer de helft van elke planeetomloop, die 550 aardse jaren duurt, zijn er drie sterren aan de hemel te zien. De zwakkere twee staan altijd veel dichter bij elkaar; hun schijnbare afstand tot de helderste ster verandert in de loop van het jaar. Op het hemellichaam is het dus soms gedurende meer dan een mensenleven de hele dag door licht en vinden er dagelijks drie zonsopgangen en -ondergangen plaats.
Hoewel de precieze baan die de planeet ten opzichte van zijn moedersterren volgt pas vast te stellen is als er meer langetermijnwaarnemingen beschikbaar zijn, wijzen simulaties erop dat de dubbelster, bestaande uit de wat lichtere sterren HD 131399B en -C, op een afstand van ongeveer 300 AE (300 keer de gemiddelde afstand Zon-Aarde) om HD 131399A cirkelt. Deze laatste - de helderste van het gezelschap - heeft tachtig procent meer massa dan de Zon. De sterren B en C wentelen om elkaar op een onderlinge afstand die vergelijkbaar is met de afstand Zon-Saturnus.
Volgens dit scenario beweegt planeet HD 131399Ab op een afstand van ongeveer 80 AE om de ster A - dat is ongeveer twee keer de afstand Zon-Pluto en ongeveer een derde van de afstand tussen ster A en de dubbelster B/C. Er zijn evenwel ook andere baanscenario's mogelijk.
De onverwachte ontdekking wijst er voorts op dat zulke systemen vaker voorkomen dan gedacht, zegt de ESO nog.
VIDEODe maan draait rond de aarde, de aarde draait rond de zon: we weten wel dat het zo werkt, maar dat echt mooi in beeld brengen, lukte niet echt (tenzij met technische trucjes). Dat is veranderd dankzij Juno.
Scott Bolton van het team dat de Juno-missie opvolgt, werd net niet lyrisch toen hij de beelden vrijgaf die de ruimtesonde Juno gefilmd heeft op weg naar Jupiter. "Eeuwenlang hebben we ons voorgesteld hoe de planeten en sterren bewegen. We konden dat enkel nabootsen via computeranimatie of dankzij de inspanningen van Hollywood. Vanavond verandert dat."
De video toont hoe de vier grootste manen van Jupiter - Io, Europa, Ganymedes en Callisto - rond de planeet draaien, als ware het een kosmische dans. "Vanavond kunnen wij voor het eerst de ware harmonie in de natuur zien", aldus Scott Bolton. "Zo zien de manen van Jupiter eruit, zo ziet ons zonnestelsel eruit, zo ziet onze melkweg eruit. Het is harmonie op elke schaal."
De Amerikaanse Marsjeep Curiosity heeft zichzelf in een "veilige modus" gezet, zo heeft space.com woensdag gemeld.
De robot schakelde vandaag om een nog onbekende reden over naar een laag pitje. De Marsverkenner communiceert desondanks nog met de vluchtleiding en is stabiel.
In 2013 gebeurde een zelfde scenario drie keer en telkens kwam de succesvolle robot weer helemaal tot leven, aldus space.com.
De 2,4 miljard dollar kostende Curiosity landde in augustus 2012 in de Gale-krater en heeft de kennis over onze buurplaneet grondig bijgespijkerd.
WETENSCHAPOnderzoekers op deeltjeslab CERN hebben een onbekende familie van exotische deeltjes gevonden. Die bestaan niet zoals gewone materie uit twee of drie zogeheten quarks, maar uit vier van zulke bouwsteentjes. Bovendien zijn dat niet de quarks die bijvoorbeeld protonen of neutronen in de atoomkern maken, maar minder gangbare en veel zwaardere quarksoorten.
Een de tetraquarks was al eerder gespot, maar nu zijn er dus nog drie ongekende varianten opgedoken
De gevonden deeltjes zijn uiterst instabiel en kunnen in de alledaagse materie geen rol spelen. Over exotische materie met vreemde quarks wordt geregeld gespeculeerd, onder meer dat die bijzondere eigenschappen zou kunnen hebben.
De nieuwe zogeheten tetraquarks zijn gevonden met de LHCb-detector, die de brokstukken bekijkt van botsende protonen in de grote LHC-versneller. Die draait sinds een klein jaar met de hoogste energie die ooit in een versneller is gemaakt. De hoop is om zo nieuwe deeltjes te vinden die op ongekende natuurkundige principes wijzen. Eerder bewees de LHC al het bestaan van het befaamde Higgs-deeltje, dat andere deeltjes massa geeft.
In de nieuwe LHCb-data doken vier tetraquarks op die bestaan uit verschillende combinaties van charm- en anti-charm quarks en strange en anti-strange quarks. Een de tetraquarks was al eerder gespot, maar nu zijn er dus nog drie ongekende varianten opgedoken. De LHCb-groep heeft ook hun massa kunnen bepalen: allemaal ongeveer viermaal de massa van een proton, maar onderling duidelijk verschillend.
Dat materiedeeltjes als protonen en neutronen inwendig uit combinaties van quarks bestaat, werd voor het eerst in 1968 geopperd door theoretici. Sindsdien is het bestaan van zes quarks aangetoond. Gewone materiedeeltjes bestaan uit drietallen up en down quarks, in exotischer deeltjes komen ook andere types voor. Daarnaast zijn er ook gangbare deeltjes die uit combinaties van een quark en een anti-quark bestaan.
De theorie voorspelde destijds ook dat er viertallen en zelfs vijftallen van quarks zouden kunnen bestaan. Vorig jaar ontdekten onderzoekers van het CERN ook al de eerste vijfvoudige pentaquark.
Archeologen hebben sporen gevonden van een cultuur in Machu Picchu die nog dateert van voor de Inca's. De onderzoekers vonden een rotsschildering die geen sporen van de Incakunst bevat. Dat schrijft de Peruviaanse krant El Comercio.
Het beeld, waarop een lamaherder met een van zijn dieren is afgebeeld, werd op een rots aangetroffen op 100 meter van de Incastad Machu Picchu en zou ongeveer 800 jaar oud zijn, zegt hoofdarcheoloog José Bastante.
Machu Picchu werd door de Inca's in de 15de eeuw gesticht. Deze tekening is het eerste bewijs van een cultuur die dateert van voor de Inca's. Om het onderzoek niet te verstoren, is de vindplaats voorlopig niet toegankelijk voor bezoekers.
VIDEODe onbemande ruimtesonde Juno van het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA is met succes in een baan rond Jupiter geraakt, na een tocht van vijf jaar. Dat heeft NASA gemeld, die om 05.53 Belgische tijd bevestiging kreeg dat het manoeuvre geslaagd was.
De sonde ontbrandde vanochtend zijn motor voor een 35 minuten durend manoeuvre om in een baan rond Jupiter terecht te komen. NASA kwam via een radiosignaal van 3 seconden te weten dat Juno in zijn missie geslaagd was.
Bedoeling van de sonde is onder andere meer te weten te komen over de magnetische velden, de samenstelling van de atmosfeer en de kern van de planeet.
De wetenschappers hopen op basis van de bevindingen ook meer te leren over het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel. Uiteindelijk zal de sonde, die met zonne-energie wordt aangedreven, zichzelf vernietigen.
Op twintig maanden tijd zal Juno 37 keer in een baan rond Jupiter draaien.
De twee kleine manen rond de planeet Mars zijn wellicht ontstaan als gevolg van een gigantische botsing met een protoplaneet. Dat blijkt maandag uit een onderzoek waar onder meer de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België bij betrokken was. De bevindingen zijn gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijke magazine Nature Geoscience.
Rond de planeet Mars cirkelen twee kleine aardappelvormige maantjes: Phobos (oud-Grieks voor 'angst') en Deimos ('paniek'). Tot nu toe werd aangenomen dat deze manen asteroïden waren die door Mars zijn ingevangen. Maar een team van Belgische, Franse en Japanse wetenschappers, onder leiding van Pascal Rosenblatt van de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België, plaatst nu duidelijke vraagtekens bij die theorie.
De onderzoekers stellen namelijk dat Phobos en Deimos ontstaan zijn uit het puin dat werd opgeworpen na een gigantische botsing van Mars met een drie keer kleinere protoplaneet. Die botsing zou 4 miljard jaar geleden het volledige oppervlak van de noordelijke hemisfeer van Mars vernield hebben.
"In het verleden meer manen"
"Dit scenario vereist dat Mars in het verleden meer manen had, die nu verdwenen zijn, maar ervoor zorgden dat het puin aangroeide tot de huidige maantjes Phobos en Deimos", zo stellen de wetenschappers. Volgens hun hypothese zou die derde maan na enkele miljoenen jaren naar Mars zijn teruggevallen. De natuurlijke satelliet zou meer bepaald uiteengevallen zijn in erg kleine deeltjes die ofwel in de atmosfeer zijn opgebrand ofwel kleine kraters hebben nagelaten.
Nog volgens de wetenschappers zou Mars door die botsing gaan roteren zijn en, net als de aarde, een dag-nachtritme hebben gekregen.
Nieuwe onderzoeken moeten nog meer inzicht brengen in de theorie. Het Japanse ruimtevaartagentschap JAXA wil in 2022 een ruimtesonde lanceren die bodemmonsters van het oppervlak van Phobos naar de aarde zal brengen. Het Europese ruimtevaartagentschap ESA heeft, in samenwerking met het Russische Roscosmos, gelijkaardige plannen voor 2024.

90.000 geheime CIA-documenten over telepathie, helderziendheid en MK-ULTRA openbaar
90.000 geheime CIA-documenten over telepathie, helderziendheid en MK-ULTRA openbaar
Tienduizenden geheime documenten van de CIA zijn na jaren getouwtrek openbaar gemaakt. Het gaat onder meer om meer dan 12.000 stukken over het programma Stargate, waarbij de inlichtingendienst in het geheim onderzoek deed naar remote viewing.
Begin jaren zeventig ondersteunde de CIA een programma om te onderzoeken of een vorm van buitenzintuiglijke waarneming genaamd remote viewing van nut kon zijn bij het vergaren van inlichtingen.
De Amerikaanse militaire inlichtingendienst DIA doopte het programma Stargate. Men probeerde te achterhalen wat andere landen deden op het gebied van helderziendheid. Daarnaast werd wetenschappelijk onderzoek gedaan naar helderziendheid en werden helderzienden ingezet door de overheid.
‘Helderziendheid duidelijk aangetoond’
De helderzienden kregen les in remote viewing of verzien, precognitie (de toekomst zien) en telepathie. Ze moesten onder meer informatie geven over doelen die niet op een conventionele manier benaderd konden worden.
Parapsycholoog en professor Jessica Utts van de Universiteit van Californië – Irvine concludeerde na haar evaluatie van het project dat helderziendheid duidelijk was aangetoond. “De statistische resultaten van de onderzochte studies stijgen ver uit boven wat op grond van het toeval verwacht mag worden,” schreef ze.
Het onderzoek suggereerde volgens haar dat helderziendheid net zo werkt als onze vijf andere zintuigen, namelijk door verandering waar te nemen. Het is mogelijk dat helderziendheid bestaat uit een soort aftasten van de toekomst om belangrijke veranderingen te vinden, ongeveer zoals onze ogen de omgeving afzoeken op visuele verandering, aldus Utts.
MK-ULTRA
“Het heeft weinig zin door te gaan met experimenten bedoeld om bewijzen te leveren, aangezien er weinig meer geboden kan worden aan eenieder die de huidige gegevens weigert te accepteren,” zei de hoogleraar nog.
Je kunt de documenten over het geheime programma Stargate hier in één keer downloaden of hierbekijken. Ze zijn omgezet in PDF-bestanden zodat ze gemakkelijker kunnen worden gelezen.
Er zijn ook vele duizenden documenten over MK-ULTRA vrijgegeven. In de jaren vijftig experimenteerde de CIA heimelijk op onwetende proefpersonen met als doel een methode te vinden om mensen te hersenspoelen.
Verbranden
In 1974 berichtte de New York Times dat de CIA tussen 1953 en 1963, en mogelijk langer, onder de noemers Artichoke en MK-ULTRA experimenten uitgevoerd had op nietsvermoedende personen. De krant ontdekte dat de CIA zelf methoden ontwikkelde voor hersenspoeling.
Het toenmalige hoofd van de CIA Richard Helms had het schandaal al in 1973 voorzien en destijds al het bewijsmateriaal laten verbranden. Een stapel documenten was echter verkeerd gearchiveerd en werd intact gevonden.
MK-ULTRA had zich vertakt in meer dan 150 subprojecten met experimenten in ruim 80 ziekenhuizen en universiteiten. De documenten over dit geheime programma kunnen hier in één keer worden gedownload of hier stuk voor stuk worden bekeken. Alles bij elkaar gaat het om zo’n 90.000 documenten.
Op crowdfundingsite Kickstarter is een project gestart om de bijna 13 miljoen pagina’s aan CIA-documenten die nog geheim zijn, openbaar te krijgen.
RETRO UFO KOMT AAN BIJ MEXICAANSE VULKAAN ( VIDEO )
RETRO UFO KOMT AAN BIJ MEXICAANSE VULKAAN ( VIDEO )
Regelmatig verschijnen er UFO’s bij Mexicaanse vulkanen, maar slechts zelden is klassieke “vliegende schotel” goed te zien.
Bij de UFO die is waargenomen bij de Colima vulkaan enkele dagen geleden is dat wel het geval en deze lijkt heel veel op die die vastgelegd is door Google bij Kaap de Goede Hoop.
Voor UFO liefhebbers vind je de meest interessante plekken waarschijnlijk in en rond de Mexicaanse vulkanen.
Op sommige dagen heb je rond vulkanen zoals de Popocatépetl en de Colima zulk druk UFO verkeer dat je bijna zou verwachten daar een verkeersregelaar te zien.
Soms worden die UFO’s vastgelegd door toeristen of andere mensen die daar toevallig in de buurt zijn, maar heel vaak zijn het de webcams waar vreemde dingen op waar te nemen zijn. Wat je zeker weet met die webcams is dat je te maken hebt met echte opnames en niet met een nepper die probeert de boel te misleiden.
Die webcams nemen foto’s met regelmatige tussenpozen en die bij de Colima vulkaan schijnt dat iedere twee minuten te doen.
Daarom kan op één foto iets te zien zijn, wat dan op een volgende weer is verdwenen.
Of, je ziet een prachtige UFO en deze is gedeeltelijk verborgen achter de identificatie van de webcam, zoals bij de volgende opname.
Deze is gemaakt afgelopen maandag 4 juli en hoewel de UFO gedeeltelijk verborgen gaat achter de naam van de webcam, is duidelijk te zien dat het hier gaat om een prachtig retro exemplaar.
Deze UFO lijkt veel op een eerder waargenomen UFO.
En dat is er een die door niemand minder dan Google is vastgelegd en enige tijd zichtbaar was op Google Earth.
De locatie van het object was ergens bij Kaap de Goede Hoop in Zuid Afrika en deze UFO werd in 2011 op Googleontdekt door ufoloog Scott Waring.
Het moet welhaast één van de mooiste UFO-opnames ooit zijn en wanneer je deze vergelijkt met die bij de Colima vulkaan van enkele dagen geleden, dan zie je de overeenkomsten.
Bizarre is dat drie maanden na de ontdekking deze UFO verdwenen was bij Google. Scott heeft in de loop der jaren ongeveer tien keer een UFO ontdekt en bijna altijd was dit object binnen zes maanden na bekendmaking weer weg/gewist.
Gelukkig zijn er ook opnames die er nog wel zijn en een aantal daarvan zijn te zien in de onderstaande compilatie, gemaakt door Secure Team.

NASA Jupiter photos:
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/targetFamily/Jupiter You probably know already that the Juno probe is orbiting Jupiter right now analyzing it and will send the scientific data and photos back to NASA. If you are interested in seeing all of the Jupiter photos placed for the public to see (few every week) they can be found in this archive above. It would be nicer if NASA had all the photos directly placed into this Jupiter archive, rather than pick a few, edit them, then release them on this archive. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com NASA states: NASA's Juno spacecraft captured a unique time-lapse movie of the Galilean satellites in motion about Jupiter. The movie begins on June 12th with Juno 10 million miles from Jupiter, and ends on June 29th, 3 million miles distant. The innermost moon is volcanic Io; next in line is the ice-crusted ocean world Europa, followed by massive Ganymede, and finally, heavily cratered Callisto. Galileo observed these moons to change position with respect to Jupiter over the course of a few nights. From this observation he realized that the moons were orbiting mighty Jupiter, a truth that forever changed humanity's understanding of our place in the cosmos. Earth was not the center of the Universe. For the first time in history, we look upon these moons as they orbit Jupiter and share in Galileo’s revelation. This is the motion of nature's harmony.
Here is an interesting story about giants in Nevada and a fight between them and the local indians. I have heard it many times, and how the giant red head beings got there and where they came from has always intrigued me. I wonder...were they abandoned there on purpose as a punishment, left behind by their own alien species?
Was North America once inhabited by a race of giants? According to an old legend supported by several challenging archaeological finds, it is possible.
Many Native American tribes tell stories about the long-forgotten existence of a race of humans that were much taller and stronger than ordinary men. These giants are described as both brave and barbaric and legends often mention their cruelty towards whomever they pleased.
The Paiute, a tribe that settled in the Nevada region thousands of years ago, have an outstanding legend about a race of red-haired giants called the Si-Te-Cah. The ancestors of the Paiute described them as savage and inhospitable cannibals.
In the Northern Paiute language, ‘Si-Te-Cah’ literally means ‘tule-eaters.’ Legend has it that the giants came from a distant island by crossing the ocean on rafts built using the fibrous tule plant.
As odd as it may sound, this legend repeats itself all over the Americas, suggesting it might be an incomplete chronicle of a real event that happened long ago.
In Crónicas del Perú, sixteenth century Spanish conquistador Pedro Cieza de León recorded an ancient Peruvian tale about the origin of the South American giants. According to legend, they “came by sea in rafts of reeds after the manner of large boats; some of the men were so tall that from the knee down they were as big as the length of an ordinary fair-sized man.”
Could the giants of Peru and the Si-Te-Cah have been survivors of a massive cataclysm who took refuge on the American continent?
Legend tells that the Si-Te-Cah waged war on the Paiute and all other neighboring tribes, spreading terror and devastation. Finally, after years of conflict, the tribes united against the common enemy and began to decimate them. The last remaining red-haired giants were chased off and sought shelter inside a cave. The tribes started a fire at the cave entrance, suffocating and burning alive the Si-Te-Cah. Those driven out by the smoke were also killed.
The tribes then sealed off the mouth of the cave so that no one might set eyes on those who had once plagued their land. They were all but forgotten until a random event brought them back to light.
In 1886, a mining engineer named John T. Reid happened to hear the legend from a group of Paiutes while prospecting near Lovelock, Nevada. The Indians told him that the legend was real and the cave was located nearby. When he saw the cave for himself, Reid knew he was onto something.

Date of moon bombing: Oct 9, 2009 Location of moon bombing: Cabeus Crater, moon Goal: Destroy base found on moon, before China gets there Mission:LCROSS
Here is hero who's gone unknown, for far too long. Let's get into it. Why destroy a base on the moon? Because the US gov found out that the Chinese and Russians also know about the base, so they wanted to destroy it right away. I saw it live in front of my students in my classroom. I also remembered a guy who looked angry and packed up all his gear and left during their celebration of the nuke going off. He was pissed, and he was packing all his computer stuff and quitting his job. Its clear this guy knew about the alien base and was pissed all to hell that he had to hide this information from the public too, but now the US gov wants to destroy this usable base with a nuke? Who wouldn't be pissed over that? Well, high five guy for one. This guy high fiving...he acts like he dent know about the base, or just doesn't care. Yes there is proof of a base, the press took a photo of they guys and its HD, below his arm in the photo on his desk...there is a square base visible. Click here to view it. This angry guy was sticking in my mind, but today I found a video of him finally, and wanted to share it with you. You see, not all NASA scientists approve of hiding and destroying alien bases or ships. This guy, he's one of the good guys, he's one of us, he is a true hero from NASA. I don't know your name...but I salute you sir. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
I just made this video below now...no sound sorry. Shows the base on the moon. Oh...and the guy and girl, they are in the full moon bombing video. Anthony Colapret, the scientist for NASA with his arm on the photo still works for NASA today.
Amazing daytime UFO sighting over San Antonio, Texas
Amazing daytime UFO sighting over San Antonio, Texas
Here’s one really interesting UFO footage that was just submitted to me recently. It shows a very fast bright object moving over San Antonio in Texas. This was filmed on 15th May 2014.
Witness report:
Filmed this a few days ago to show how close this guy was flying over while crop dusting. Just got done playing it and saw something I hadn’t noticed….watch when he’s about 1/2 way through (:15) his banking around to the left. The quality isn’t as good uploaded as it is on the phone, but it’s still clearly visible. Watch in HD if possible. Outside of Marion Texas, between San Antonio and Seguin, right off I-10.
This strange UFO sighting was recorded over Iglesias, Italy.
Witness report:
A family of three, in Iglesias (Italy) has been involved into an extraordinary sighting. A flying saucer has literally chased their car for more than 20 kilometers. The UFO was interacting with witnesses miming their movements. At some point the object has split in a dozen of objects, a flottilla. A witness stated that he warned by phone a relative who reached the place of the sighting in a few minutes without comprehend how he did it. Two videos of the sighting UFOs were filmed. The surveys were conducted by C.UFO.M. under the leadership of President Dr. Angelo Carannante. Carannante said the case is also unexplained after thorough investigations

Strange UFOs in the sky above Paris, France 3-Jul-2016
Here’s one new UFO video that was filmed on 3rd July 2016 in the sky above Paris, France.
Witness report:
One of the first convincing nighttime sightings I recorded with my Sony A7s camera. While I was pointing a laser to some stars in the sky, two clear objects flying at different speeds crossed the sky. I didn’t notice them when they appeared. After checking the footage on my PC, I noticed a pretty weird fast object glowing regularly. I first thought it was a meteor, but its constant speed and trajectory suggest something else. Indeed, I zoomed in and animated the position of the video to put the object in the center, and followed its trajectory: the object doesn’t change its speed and keeps its trajectory in a straight line. My guess is that it was some sort of propelled object, either reflecting light from an external source, or emitting its own light (a craft?).
The Hubble Space Telescope has been capturing incredible images from space for over 26 years and it’s going to keep doing it for five more years.
NASA is contractually extending science operations for the iconic telescope until 2021, despite its intended 15 year lifespan. On Thursday, the agency awarded a sole source contract extension to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy for continued Hubble science operations support at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, according to NASA.

This contract extension will allow the Hubble mission to continue the work its been doing since April 1990. Since the last of five servicing missions in 2009, Hubble has been outfitted with a docking space for a thruster. This attachment will take it out of Earth’s orbit and let it burn up in the atmosphere before crashing somewhere on Earth’s surface, according to Wired.
After the retirement of NASA’s space shuttle program in 2011, repair missions have ceased, so keeping Hubble in space until 2021 will be a huge achievement. NASA expects that Hubble will continue to provide valuable data as its mission continues observing our solar system and beyond.
The telescope’s successor, the James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018 and will be able to gaze even farther back in time to the birth of the first stars.

We look forward to the out-of-this-world wonders Hubble and the James Webb telescopes will reveal to us in the decades to come.

15 Mesmerizing Photos From Scott Kelly’s Year In Space
NASA's Jupiter probe, Juno, has entered orbit around the gas giant after a 35 minute burn to decelerate the craft, which was headed toward Jupiter at 135,000 MPH.
The burn was make-it-or-break-it. Had it not gone according to plan, the craft might've flown right past the planet. Now, it will work from a 53 day orbit into a 14 day orbit, making 37 passes over 20 months in an effort to understand the interior of the largest planet in our solar system.
In that time, the craft will repeatedly put itself on the line in Jupiter's intense radiation. Some instruments, including the Juno cam, may not make the entire journey. In the end, though, we may be able to tell if Jupiter formed closer to the sun (like so called "Hot Jupiters") and migrated out or formed closer to its present location.
Stay tuned — the next two years are going to open new chapters into our understanding of how the solar system we see today came to be. It's an exciting time.
An equation to quantify the origins of life on other planets
An equation to quantify the origins of life on other planets
(Phys.org)—A pair of researchers, one with the Columbia Astrobiology Center in New York, the other with the University of Glasgow in the U.K. has come up with a mathematical equation that when solved is meant to offer a means for estimating how often life begins on other planets. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Caleb Scharf and Leroy Cronin describe their equation, how they came up with it and why they believe it might become more useful as scientists learn more about the true nature of other planets and solar systems.
Back in the 1960's, an astronomer named Frank Drake came up with a formula for estimating the likely number of alien civilizations that might be capable of transmitting radio signals in such a way as to be recognizable by receivers here on earth. That equation, named quite naturally the Drake Equation has been the unofficial standard-bearer for half a century, despite it having no solution because some of the parameters are still unknown. The same holds true for the new equation developed by Scharf and Cronin, but the results given should the unknowns ever be discovered would offer a different sort of answer than Drake was looking for.
To build their formula, the duo came up with several parameters to solve for abiogenesis, which is the likelihood of an event occurring that leads to life beginning, they included the number of possible building blocks, the mean number of such blocks per possible organism, the availability of building blocks that might exist during a given time period, expressed as a fraction and the probability that the existence of the building blocks would actually lead to life starting in a given unit of time. It looks like this:
Nabiogenesis(t)= Nb · 1/no · fc · Pa · t
In essence the formula is meant to suggest that the probability of life beginning on a given planet is very likely connected to whether there are building blocks available on a given planet, and how much of them there might be. As more is learned by space researchers it is hoped that the formula could help narrow down search targets by offering a statistical probability of success for a given planet. The researchers note that the building blocks available do not necessarily have to be of the type that led to life beginning on our planet. They also suggest that implied in the formula is the likelihood that life beginning events are more likely to occur in solar systems where there are multiple planets, which allow for an opportunity to share materials that could lead to building blocks.
Abstract A simple, heuristic formula with parallels to the Drake Equation is introduced to help focus discussion on open questions for the origins of life in a planetary context. This approach indicates a number of areas where quantitative progress can be made on parameter estimation for determining origins of life probabilities, based on constraints from Bayesian approaches. We discuss a variety of "microscale" factors and their role in determining "macroscale" abiogenesis probabilities on suitable planets. We also propose that impact ejecta exchange between planets with parallel chemistries and chemical evolution could in principle amplify the development of molecular complexity and abiogenesis probabilities. This amplification could be very significant, and both bias our conclusions about abiogenesis probabilities based on the Earth and provide a major source of variance in the probability of life arising in planetary systems. We use our heuristic formula to suggest a number of observational routes for improving constraints on origins of life probabilities.
Aliens will look a lot like us, says an expert on evolution

Aliens will look a lot like us, says an expert on evolution
RIP little green men.
DAVID NIELD
You can forget about little green men and predatory Xenomorphs: aliens are likely to look a lot like human beings, according to an expert in evolution from the University of Cambridge. In a new book, Simon Conway Morris says that any extra-terrestrial lifeforms will have evolved very much like we have - because an Earth-like planet would be necessary to support life in the first place.
The theory, called convergent evolution, is actually already well established: the idea is that different species evolve similar characteristics because they're living in a similar environment. One of the most commonly cited examples is the octopus camera eye, which works in much the same way as a human eye. Morris thinks that because alien species will be living on planets like our own, they'll evolve along similar lines.
It should make interplanetary diplomacy a little easier, at least.
The academic discusses the theory in a new book published this week, The Runes Of Evolution. "The book is really trying to persuade the world that evolutionary convergence is completely ubiquitous," Morris told The Independent. "Wherever you look you see it. The theme is to try and drive the reader, gently of course, into the possibility that the things which we regard as most important - cognitive sophistication, large brains, intelligence, tool-making - are also convergent."
"Therefore, in principle, other Earth-like planets should very much end up with the same sort of arrangement."
And it doesn't stop at humans either. The Cambridge professor believes that plant and animal life will probably have followed the same evolutionary pattern too. "Certainly it's not the case that every Earth-like planet will have life, let alone humanoids," he says. "But if you want a sophisticated plant it will look awfully like a flower. If you want a fly there's only a few ways you can do that. If you want to swim like a shark, there's only a few ways you can do that. If you want to invent warm-bloodedness, like birds and mammals, there’s only a few ways to do that."
The book also deals with the paradox put down by Enrico Fermi: if aliens exist, why have they not yet made contact? "The problem is exceedingly acute," says Morris. "We shouldn't be alone but, famous last words, all the evidence suggests we are. Maybe [aliens] are hiding, the Arthur C Clarke idea, or as Stephen Baxter mischievously suggested, we live in a virtual world. I don't honestly know. My suspicion is we have only begun to scratch at the surface of reality, for want of a better word."
Of course there are plenty of competing ideas about what alien lifeforms look like, but if Morris is right, they could already be living among us.

HOME CONTACT US OUR MISSION Search... Ancient Secret Societies : UFO and the NWO
Helvetius, the grandfather of the celebrated philosopher of the same name, was an alchemist who labored ceaselessly to fathom the mystery of the “philosopher’s stone,” the legendary catalyst that would transmute base metals into gold.
One day in 1666 when he was working in his laboratory at the Hague, a stranger attired all in black, as befitted a respectable burgher of North Holland, appeared and informed him that he would remove all the alchemist’s doubts about the existence of the philosopher’s stone, for he himself possessed such an object.
The stranger immediately drew from his pocket a small ivory box, containing three pieces of metal the color of brimstone. With those three bits of metal, he said, he could make as much as twenty tons of gold.
The alchemist examined the pieces of metal and seeing that they were very brittle, he surreptitiously scraped off a small portion with his thumbnail. He then returned the three pieces of metal to his mysterious visitor and invited him to perform the process of transmutation.
The stranger answered that he was not allowed to do so. It was enough that he had verified the existence of the metal to Helvetius. It was his purpose only to offer him encouragement in his experiments.
After the man’s departure, Helvetius procured a crucible and a portion of lead, into which, when in a state of fusion, he threw the stolen grain he had secretly scraped from the alleged philosopher’s stone. He was disappointed to find that the grain evaporated, leaving the lead in its original state.
Thinking that he had been made a fool by the mad burgher’s whimsy, Helvetius returned to his own experiments in attaining the philosopher’s stone.
Some weeks later, when he had almost forgotten the incident, Helvetius received another visit from the stranger. Impatiently, the alchemist told the man that if he could not do as he claimed, then please leave the laboratory at once.
“Very well,” the stranger said, consenting to perform a demonstration of the philosopher’s stone for the skeptical Helvetius. “I shall show you that that which you most desire does truly exist.”
The mysterious visitor said that one grain was sufficient, but it was necessary to envelope it in a ball of wax before throwing it on the molten metal; otherwise, its extreme volatility would cause it to vaporize.
To Helvetius’s astonishment, the stranger transmuted several ounces of lead into gold. Then he permitted the alchemist to repeat the experiment by himself, and Helvetius converted six ounces of lead into very pure gold.
Helvetius found it impossible to keep a secret of such immense value and importance. Soon the word of the alchemist’s remarkably successful experiments spread all over the Hague, and Helvetius demonstrated the power of the philosopher’s stone in the presence of the Prince of Orange, and many times afterward, until he had exhausted the supply of catalytic pieces that he received from the mysterious burgher.
And search as he might, Helvetius could not find the man in all of North Holland nor learn his name. And pray as he might, the stranger never again visited Helvetius in his study.
Down through the centuries, very mysterious individuals have appeared at certain moments in human history and provided convincing demonstrations that “impossible” inventions are possible.
The “respectable burgher of North Holland” appeared “modest and simple” to the alchemist Helvetius.
It was his incredible knowledge that startled and inspired the alchemists of Helvetius’s day, and though these learned and determined men never did acquire the philosopher’s stone that would transmute lead into gold, they did fashion the seeds of the science of chemistry that has accomplished so many transmutations of the human environment and the human condition in the last three hundred years.
Out of the smoky laboratories of the alchemists,
Albert le Grand produced potassium lye
Raymond Lully prepared bicarbonate of potassium
Paracelsus described zinc and introduced chemical compounds in medicine
Blaise Vigenere discovered benzoic acid
Basil Valentine perfected sulfuric acid
Johann Friedrich Boetticher became the first European to produce porcelain
While each of the above is an important discovery, there are rumors that lying amidst the musty pages of certain ancient alchemical laboratories there are recorded experiments with photography, radio transmission, phonography, and aerial flight.
Throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, there were many scholars who claimed that they had received late-night visits from mysterious members of a secret society that had accomplished the transmutation of metals, the means of prolonging life, the knowledge to see and to hear what was occurring in distant places, and the ability to travel across the heavens in heavier-than-air vehicles.
Some students of the history of alchemy have stated that crumbling, yellowed records of the alchemists remain in dusty libraries – more than 100,000 ancient volumes written in a code that has never been sufficiently deciphered.
Strange Clouds Over CERN: Portals to another dimension opens above the LHC?
Strange Clouds Over CERN: Portals to another dimension opens above the LHC?
What are the mysterious clouds photographed over CERN? Is this another mind-bending experiment that tries to open portals to another dimension? In the past, scientists at CERN used the LHC to ‘connect’ with a Parallel universe outside our own.
It seems that unusual phenomena are continuing to occur in the vicinity of Geneve near the Large Hadron Collider. According to a set of images and videos, strange clouds appear over the LHC, which has sent the internet into a frenzy suggesting the enigmatic phenomenon could, in fact, be a portal to another dimension.
The Jaw-dropping images taken above CERN’s Large Hadron Collider are truly fascinating. But are they connected to the mystery experiments that are taking place below the surface? And is it really possible for CERN to open up portals to another dimension?
The images alone with a fancy title have proposed all kinds speculation. Apparently, the images were taken on June 24th, the exact same day CERN was conducting a new experiment called AWAKE. The AWAKE experiment, which is also known as the “Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment,” aims to use a whole new method that will get particles going much faster in a shorter amount of time. However, results of this experiment are not expected until 2018.
CERN is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator placed inside a ring-shaped 27 kilometer-long underground tunnel located at the Swiss and the French border. The facility was built between 1998 and 2008 and allows physicists to test various theories.
Are these images above CERN the ultimate proof scientists are trying to open portals to another dimension?
In the past, it is well-known that CERN has carried out experiments creating artificial clouds to better understand global warming.
The video that caused a massive uproar on social networks was uploaded to YouTube on June 27th by YouTube Channel Freedom Fighter Times. Called What portal did CERN open now? Strange Clouds Hover Above the LCH,” the video has ignited a massive debate whether or not CERN scientists are actually opening up portals to another dimension.
But… do another dimension actually exist? Or have users on the internet gone too far now?
Well, according to a document released by the FBI, other dimensions DO exist, and we have even been visited by ‘beings’ from those dimensions. According to declassified report released by the FBI, not only are we being visited by Alien beings from other worlds, but we have been visited by “beings from other dimensions.” The official link from the FBI vault can be found here
These “entities” that could “materialize” on our planet appeared as giant translucent figures.
But let’s get back to CERN and the so-called portals being opened above the facility.
In the video uploaded by YouTube Channel Freedom Fighter Times, the narrator states:
“It [the image] is not a background you can get on Google,” the narrator says in the video. “It is an actual picture taken on June 24, 2016. It is directly over CERN, and the cloud formation is fascinating.”
“The energy that is being produced, you can actually see that minus the lightning strikes,” he continues.
“How much energy did CERN pull into itself?” he asks. “Is this why the weather is so crazy all over the planet? There are many other colliders all over the world.”
But can CERN actually open up portals to other dimensions if they do exist?
Well, it turns out that they can. Scientists at CERN want to use the Large Hadron Collider to better understand the fundamental forces of our universe, how it was created and where the universe is going. They aim to recreate the Big Bang and discovered what kind of matter existed at the exact moment our universe came into existence. However, they also look forward to FIND other dimensions and open up ‘gateways’ or portals to these dimensions.
Last year, scientists conducting a mindboggling experiment at the Large Hadron Collider stated that they hope to ‘connect’ with a Parallel universe outside our own.
Scientists at CERn said: „It is even possible that gravity from our own universe may ‘leak’ into this parallel universe.“
Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two-dimensional objects [breadth 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.
“Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualized.
“This cannot be tested, and so it is philosophy and not science.
“This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.
“As gravity can flow out of our universe into the extra dimensions, such a model can be tested by the detection of mini-black holes at the LHC.
“We have calculated the energy at which we expect to detect these mini black holes in ‘gravity’s rainbow’ [a new scientific theory].
“If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity’s rainbow and extra dimensions are correct.”
A mindboggling fact: Did you know that when the LHC is fired up the energy is measured in Tera electron volts – a TeV is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion, electron Volts.
Leaked documents: Conclusive proof UFO crashed to Earth?
Leaked documents: Conclusive proof UFO crashed to Earth?
A recently leaked document is considered as conclusive proof that UFOs have visited and crashed on Earth. The document which dates back to 1968 states: “…Examination revealed the exhibit had likely formed part of a vehicle that travelled in outer space.”
The highly-classified memo states that: “Examination revealed the exhibit had likely formed part of a vehicle that travelled in outer space.”
A highly-classified document leaked by a Ufologist is considered as one of the world’s first conclusive pieces of evidence of extraterrestrial vehicles discovered on our planet.
The United States Government is set out to charge a top UFO researchers after he decided to go public with an Alien Wikileaks of eleven highly classified UFO files from the United States and Canada.
The leaked documents revealed at the first Canadian National Inquiry into UFOs in Brantford, Ontario, Canada are part of a highly secret memo which dates back to 1968.
The document of the Criminal Investigation Burea (CIB) F Division is called “Re UFO found in Northern Saskatchewan.”
The document details how in October of 1968, a J. Hodges, regional representative of the Associate Committee on meteorites of the National Research Council of Canada received a small metal fragment discovered by an unnamed pilot of the CDL (Crime Detection Laboratory. The metallic piece was discovered in the Wollaston Lake area, some 450 miles from Prince Albert, near the Manitoba border.
According to the leaked file: “Examination revealed the exhibit had likely formed part of a vehicle that travelled in outer space.”
However, it remains a mystery if or what additional examinations were carried out on the object. According to the memo, the object was to be taken for further analysis at the National Research Council in Ottowa.
In addition to the leaked file, images from the object were also believed to have been taken but are yet to be displayed to national media.
According to UFO researchers, this document is one of the best pieces of evidence supporting the fact that in our long history, Earth has been visited by intelligent alien civilizations from elsewhere in the cosmos.
However, skeptics argue that without additional information, there is not enough data to suggest the material is not from a man-made object like a satellite or space rocket sent into space by humans and eventually re-entered Earth’s atmosphere.
The idea that advanced extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth for millennia is something that has become widely accepted in the last decade. This is mostly due to the high number of individuals like former astronauts and government officials who have come forward speaking about Alien life and the UFO phenomenon.
In the last year, the Disclosure movement has gained a lot of supporters who eagerly await documents like the one presented here, which will undoubtedly help get to the bottom of whether or not we have been visited by beings, not from Earth.
Not long ago, the Central Intelligence Agency released a never-before-seen number of highly classified documents about UFO’s and Alien life. This collection catalogs CIA information on this subject from the 1940s through the early 1990s. Most of the documents concern CIA cables reporting unsubstantiated UFO sightings in the foreign press and intra-Agency memos about how the Agency handled public inquiries about UFO sightings. For the most recent CIA information on UFOs, see the article “CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90” at the Center for the Study of Intelligence website (https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/index.html). The article is located in On-line Publications under the “Studies in Intelligence” section, specifically semi-annual Edition #1, 1997.
However, the FBI has also revealed a staggering number of highly classified documents which speak of extraterrestrial life forms visiting Earth. According to a report from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, our planet has even been visited by ‘beings’ that belong to another dimension.

Chinese archaeologists have found the remains of Buddha’s skull
Chinese archaeologists have found the remains of Buddha’s skull
Chinese archaeologists have found a stone chest and a skull fragment that they believe belonged to Buddha, aka Siddhartha Gautama, founder of Buddhism. The bone fragment was found beneath the Temple Great Bao’en, within a model of a Stupa made of sandalwood, silver and gold, which was stored in a box which in turn was inside a stone chest.
A fascinating discovery has been made in China. Archaeologists believe they have found the fragments of Buddha’s skull under a Buddhist temple in Nanjing, China.
Chinese scientists believe the parietal bone fragment of the skull found in a stone chest under a Buddhist temple in Nanking, could belong to Buddha, reports Chinese Cultural Relics magazine.
The bone fragment was found beneath the Temple Great Bao’en, within a model of a Stupa made of sandalwood, silver and gold, which was stored in a box which in turn was inside a stone chest. The stupa was decorated with lotus patterns, pictures of phoenixes and gods with mighty swords. According to Live Science, the shrine is a box 117 cm tall and 45 cm wide (4 feet by 1.5 feet) made from sandalwood, gold and silver with jewels embedded and contained the bone inside.
Researchers say the inscriptions engraved on the stone chest indicate that the bone belonged to Siddhartha Gautama, founder of Buddhism. They were written about 1,000 years ago by someone by the name of Deming.
The writing indicates that Demin, who was “Master of Perfect Enlightenment, abbot of the monastery Chengtian and head of the purple robe” retained the bone fragment time after Buddha ‘entered Paranirvana’ when the cycle of death and rebirth breaks.
Inscriptions found on the stone chest suggest the model was created during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong (A.D. 997-1022) during the Song Dynasty. Researchers say that also inscribed on the chest are the names of people who donated money and material to build the model, as well as the names of the builders of it.
According to Deming, a ruler of India at that time, King Ashoka, ” chose to preserve the remains of Buddha, and divided them into 84,000 parts.” China writes the inscription, received 19 of those parts, including the parietal bone that had remained in a temple that was destroyed some 1,400 years ago during turbulent times when wars were waging in the region.
“The foundation ruins … were scattered in the weeds,” Deming wrote. “In this time of turbulence, did no one care for Buddhist affairs?”
According to inscriptions by Deming, Emperor Zhenzong decided that it was best to rebuild the temple and Buddha’s parietal bone, and the remains of other Buddhist saints buried underground in a crypt at the temple.
Deming wrote they were interred on July 21, 1011, A.D., in “a most solemn and elaborate burial ceremony.”
This model of a stupa, which is usually used for meditation, was found hidden beneath Grand Bao’en Temple in Nanjing, China.
The 1,000-year-old stupa was created from sandalwood, silver and gold.

In the inscriptions, Deming also praised the emperor for rebuilding the temple and burying the remains of Buddha. Daming wished the emperor a long life, loyal subjects and many grandchildren: “May the Heir Apparent and the imperial princes be blessed and prosperous with 10,000 offspring; may Civil and Military Ministers of the Court be loyal and patriotic; may the three armed forces and citizens enjoy a happy and peaceful time …”
While the inscriptions say that the skull fragment belongs to the Buddha, it still remains a mystery whether or not it really does come from him. So far, according to archaeologists, there shouldn’t be any doubts about it researchers beleive the skull fragment did belong to Buddha. Researchers have found that engraved on the outside of the model are numerous images depicting Buddha, in addition to a number of scenes that illustrate stories from the life of Buddha, ranging from his birth to the point when he reached the so-called “parinirvana.”
The bone fragment is being treated with great respect and has been interred in the modern-day Qixia Temple by Buddhist monks.
Researchers from the Municipal Institute of Archaeology of Nanking excavated the crypt between 2007 and 2010. They were supported by a large number of experts from all China who helped in the recovery process.
The news of the discovery was not covered extensively by Western media but received great interest in
China.
The gold chest containing the ancient relics were held within a larger silver chest (seen in this image). Ancient artists engraved in the gold and silver boxes images of lotus flowers, phoenixes and guardians of the box.
Fascinating details of mighty warriors guarding the content of what is inside.
The engravings on the box pictured in this image speak of how the temple was rebuilt by Emperor Zhenzong in the 11th Century.
NASA-beelden tonen ‘reusachtig gat bij Noordpool dat naar holle aarde leidt’
NASA-beelden tonen ‘reusachtig gat bij Noordpool dat naar holle aarde leidt’
Nieuwe foto’s van de aarde wakkeren complottheorieën over de holle aarde aan. Dat meldt AOL News. Het gaat om beelden van de blauwe planeet die nog niet waren vrijgegeven.
Op de plek van de Noordpool lijkt zich een reusachtig gat te bevinden, aldus het mediabedrijf. Complottheoretici claimen dat NASA verdoezelt dat de aarde in werkelijkheid hol is en dat zich in het binnenste van onze planeet nog een wereld bevindt, waar aliens en wolharige mammoeten leven.
Er is ook een theorie die stelt dat er een poort naar een andere dimensie kan worden gevonden. Volgens sommigen bevindt zich in de holle aarde een zwart gat.
Deze theorieën circuleren sinds het moment dat ontdekkingsreiziger Richard E. Byrd in de jaren twintig afreisde naar de Noordpool en bij terugkomst zei dat hij was aangevallen door vliegende schotels en op een hoogontwikkelde beschaving was gestuit.
Sommigen menen dat de Amerikaanse overheid het piloten verboden heeft om rechtstreeks over de Noordpool te vliegen. Dat klopt niet helemaal, aldus AOL, aangezien vliegtuigen de Noordpool dagelijks tot op enkele tientallen kilometers naderen.
EU-voorzitter Juncker: “Leiders van andere planeten slaan ons gade”
EU-voorzitter Juncker: “Leiders van andere planeten slaan ons gade”
In de Duitse media is veel aandacht voor een merkwaardige uitspraak die voorzitter van de Europese Commissie Juncker onlangs deed tijdens het Brexit-debat. Voor het oog van de lopende camera’s sprak hij van ‘leiders van andere planeten’. “Gelooft de politicus in buitenaardsen?” vraagt het Duitse magazine Focus zich af.
“Het Britse referendum heeft enkele van onze talrijke vleugels afgesneden, maar we vliegen verder,” zei hij vorige week dinsdag in het Europees Parlement. “We vliegen richting de horizon en die horizon bestaat uit Europa en de rest van de planeet.”
“U moet weten dat degenen die ons van veraf gadeslaan, bezorgd zijn,” vervolgde hij. “Ik heb gezien en gehoord dat leiders van andere planeten bezorgd zijn over de weg die de Europese Unie inslaat. We moeten de Europeanen en zij die ons van buitenaf volgen geruststellen.”
In het officiële transcript ontbreekt opvallend genoeg de zinsnede waarin Juncker spreekt van leiders van andere planeten. Franse media speculeren nu dat Juncker zich waarschijnlijk versproken heeft en ‘andere leiders van onze planeet’ bedoelde. De Brexit heeft immers niets te maken met buitenaardsen, zo redeneren ze.
Al snel ontstaat dan de gedachte dat de beelden mogelijk gemanipuleerd zijn, maar wanneer er dan meerdere opnames opduiken, gemaakt door verschillende mensen, lijkt dat, zoals ook nu, toch niet het geval.
Wat de mensen in de Colombiaanse stad Cartagena naar verluidt zagen op 30 juni 2016, ziet er als volgt uit:
Een vreemde, afwijkend grote wolk die meer overeenkomsten vertoond met een vermomd ruimteschip dan met een natuurlijk fenomeen.
Zijn bovenstaande opnames echt of misschien een aantal en een aantal niet?
Wel duiken er ook een paar video’s op waar ook die vreemde wolk of object heel duidelijk op is te zien.
Als het niet helemaal nep is, dan zou het natuurlijk ook nog iets kunnen zijn dat wordt veroorzaakt door zoiets als HAARPof misschien zelfs wel CERN waar recent ook weer een vreemde wolk boven hing waar weerlicht in tekeer ging, maar waar verder geen regen of iets dergelijks uitkwam.
Een natuurlijk fenomeen lijkt ons uitgesloten en wij denken dat het hier om een vermomde UFO gaat.

This UFO was being hauled by a really run down semi truck and add to the fact that he was moving so fast that he almost hit the overpass as he went under it. He is in a hurry, and having a UFO on your trailer and gov officials waiting for it...its no wonder why he is moving so fast. Then again, maybe some guy found this landed on his farm and he just wanted to load it up on one of his trucks and take it to the local Air Force Base to have them check it out.
The Hidden Truth about Falcon Lake Landing In 1967
The Hidden Truth about Falcon Lake Landing In 1967
A UFO is any extraterrestrial spacecraft that is unidentified. Therefore, there are plenty of UFOs. If you ask if it has to be an alien craft, the answer is “No”. Since in 1940’s, not all have been highly regarded as an advanced craft. The UFO incident in Falcon Lake that took place on May 19, 1967, in Canada is an event which skeptics and believers have been splitting hairs for decades. On one hand, many believe Stephen Michalak’s story about confronting a UFO. Skeptics believe that the story is a hoax.
Stephen Michalak
Michalak is a mechanic but used to be an amateur geologist. While enjoying days off, he decided to do prospecting near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, when he spotted two UFOs, with one landed on a huge, flat rock about 160 feet from him. As he looked, one of the objects stopped, but hovered later on, while the other descended on a huge flat rock about 160 feet from him. Minutes later, the object changed from red to orange and to grey as it flew in the west. Later on, it disappeared behind the clouds. The object on the ground turned to grey and lastly to “hot stainless steel” enclosed by a golden-hued glow. While chipping at the quartz to guard his eyes against flying fragments, he had been wearing welding goggles. Now, they served the purpose of protecting his eyes from a purple light that shines through openings in the exterior part of the object.
The object was making a whirring noise, and a hissing sound and it gave off a sulfurous smell. After approaching the object and looked inside, it moved, and release an exhaust vent in front of him. Afterwards, there was a hot gas shot from these holes to his chest, setting his undershirt on fire and leaving him burns and severe pain in the shape of a grid. Finally, he reached the motel. Michalak decided to return to Winnipeg than go to Ontario for the doctor. He arrived in Winnipeg at 10:15 p.m., and he was sent to the Misericordia Hospital, where his nausea and headache were treated. The burn marks on his chest were noted.
As part of North Wales X-Files series, Steve Bagnall looks at the theories surrounding an unidentified object spotted in the skies over Gwynedd
A strange triangular unidentified flying object was spotted over Bangor in 2010
In 2010 witnesses claimed to have seen a strange triangular craft hovering near Bangor .
It was allegedly up to 200ft wide, had numerous lights and made a noise like a lawn mower before vanishing out of sight baffling the on-lookers.
The sighting was one of 13 reported to North Wales Police between 2004-2010 which were revealed under a Freedom of Information request.
Documents show that police were told by the observer: “A large, black triangular shaped craft appeared ‘out of nowhere’.
“The craft was of a large scale, approximately 150ft-200ft wide, had a central light, and numerous glowing bright lights on either side (white, blue and red).
“It was hovering slowly at a very low altitude (a few feet above the height of a telephone pole). It made a noise similar to that of a lawnmower.”
The object “made no attempt to avoid detection” as it hovered above the group, “proceeded to cross the field” then after 90 seconds vanished out of sight.
More information on the Internet of the same sighting, narrowed the location down to a rural area at Waen Y Pandy, Tregarth.

Apparently there were three witnesses who saw the odd vessel, about 40 feet above their heads and they also reported it to the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
After the sightings were revealed under the FOI, a North Wales Police spokesman told the Daily Post: “We take a note of these calls on UFOs. It depends on the circumstances as to how we respond.
“If there are lights in the sky we might contact HM Coastguard to see if they are flares. In other instances we may let the RAF know.
“But we would prioritise each call depending on the information received.”
So what could have happened that day in Bangor?
It is not the first time strange triangular craft have been seen in the skies around the world.
Skeptics may say the report was made up or it was a normal object in the sky mis-identified.
Hi-tech stealth aircraft such as the F-117A Nighthawk, also look triangular in shape
If the story is a true account of what the people saw close up an then others may argue it could be a man made experimental craft.
However the possibility remains, some may argue, this was of extraterrestrial origin.
The MoD has withdrawn its dedicated UFO hotline answer-phone service and e-mail address.
It has said it no longer investigates sightings which would be an “inappropriate use of defence resources”.

Two Giant Underwater Crystal Pyramids Discovered in the Center of the Bermuda Triangle
Two Giant Underwater Crystal Pyramids Discovered in the Center of the Bermuda Triangle
With the use of sonar, oceanographer Dr. Meyer Verlag discovered giant glass pyramids at a depth of two-thousand meters. The use of other devices have allowed scientists to determine that these glass giants are both made of a crystal-like substance, and are nearly 3 times bigger than the pyramid of Cheops in Egypt
Dr. Verlag believes that further investigation into the secrets in the the pyramids center could reveal more information regarding the cases of mysterious disappearances associated with the Bermuda Triangle. In a press conference held in the Bahamas, the scientist presented a report with the exact coordinates of the pyramids, and made note that the technology at use is unknown to modern science. A more detailed study may bring results that are difficult for us to imagine. Who knows what will be discovered about these underwater architectural anomalies – perhaps something of shocking significance.
Built on Land – Lost During Last Pole Shift?
There are several Western scholars who argue that the pyramid on the seabed may have been initially made on the mainland, after which a devastating earthquake struck and changed the landscape completely. Other scientists argue that a few hundred years ago the waters of the Bermuda Triangle area may have as one of the cornerstone activities of the people of Atlantis, and Pyramids on the sea floor may be a supply warehouse for them.
A more detailed study over time will give results that are difficult to imagine. Scientists have processed all of the data and concluded that the surface is perfectly smooth for it to look like glass or ice. The size of the pyramids are nearly three times the size of the pyramids of Cheops. This news was sensational, and was discussed at a conference in Florida and even reported to local Florida newspapers.. The journalists present in it, have a lot of pictures and high resolution computerized data, which show three-dimensional pyramids perfectly smooth, without being covered with a surface free of debris or algae or cracks.Pyramid
Discovery Challenges Current Archaelogical Theory
A gigantic structure, initially identified by a doctor in the 1960s, has recently been independently verified by diving teams from France and the U.S.
The discovery has rocked scientists around the world. Will they rush to investigate it? No, they’re more likely to studiously ignore it. If pressed, they’ll officially position themselves as highly skeptical—especially in light of the potential ramifications.
The pyramid could confirm some engineers’ contentions that pyramids were originally created as massive power sources, support the claim that the ancient city-state of Atlantis did exist, or even provide answers to the mysterious goings-on that have been recorded since the 19th Century in the region of the Atlantic dubbed the Bermuda Triangle.
First discovered in 1968
According to the history, the pyramid was accidentally discovered during 1968 by a doctor of naturopathy, Ray Brown of Mesa, Arizona.
Brown was in the Caribbean on vacation and making dives with friends in a region off the Bahamas known as “the Tongue of the Ocean.” The area acquired that name because a tongue-shaped portion of the seabed extends out from the island before sharply dropping off into much greater depths.
When relating his discovery, the doctor explained he became separated from his diving friends underwater. While attempting to rejoin them he came upon a massive structure rising from the ocean floor: a black, hulking object silhouetted against the lighter sun-filtered water. The object was shaped like a pyramid.
Because he was low on air, he didn’t spend much time investigating the pyramid, but did find a strange crystal sphere.
He brought it to the surface with him and later when the ancient crystal was studied researchers were astonished by its properties.
Properties of Crystal Pyramids
Some theories of Atlantis propose the island city’s power pyramids were made of crystal, or their tops were capped with a crystalline substance.
Could such a thing actually generate, store, and distribute energy on demand? Yes.
Experimenters discovered decades ago that pyramids do tend to act in some ways like a natural electrical capacitor gathering and storing energy around them. The larger the pyramid, the greater the capacity of gathering and storing energy. A pyramid’s composition is important too. Having one made of crystal, or an apex made of crystal, could vastly increase its power.
Crystal has long been known to have energy applications and exhibits natural piezoelectrical properties.
Early radio used germanium crystals to capture the radiowaves and convert them into electrical signals that could be processed and broadcast through headphones into soundwaves duplicating the human voice, music, and other sounds.
Pyramid power, say investigators, is intrinsic to the pyramid shape. It’s an architecture that’s proven to function as an energy accumulator and amplifier of energetic force.
As if to prove the investigators’ assertions true, recently some of the worlds pyramids began discharging beams of raw energy into space.
The bottom line? Pyramids are intrinsically natural generators of power.
Pyramids and the ‘Cavity Structural Effect’
Barry Carter calls attention to another property that pyramids exhibit called the “Cavity Structural Effect” (CSE) by its discoverer, Dr. Viktor S. Grebennikov. The scientist employed the CSE to construct a rudimentary anti-gravitic platform.
Viktor S. Grebennikov demonstrates anti-gravity platform
Carter explains that “Grebennikov also claimed that he could feel energies emitting from the apex of a pyramid: ‘You will soon pick up an active zone, a “clot”, where the Egyptians had their tombs. Another active zone (a “flame”) above the top of the pyramid is also well-perceived by the indicator if you drag its end over the top. The “clot” and the “flame” are well-felt by the finger inserted into the pyramid, or your palm moved above it after some practice. The pyramid effect, which generated many scary and mysterious stories over the centuries, is one of the CSE manifestations.’”
A Bermuda Triangle ‘Death Vortex’
Another deadly phenomenon pyramids may create: an energy vortex
Besides the time and spatial anomalies reported in the Triangle, some survivors of terrifing incidents there have reported huge, swirling vortices suddenly appearing and disappearing .
Evidence exists that some missing ships may have gone missing because of this phenomenon.
Observations of some of the submerged pyramids reveals they sporadically generate intense vortices in the ocean water flowing around them. Those vortices may be caused by a discharge of internal energy.
If those submerged pyramids also discharge massive enegy through their apexes, that could account for the formation of deadly vortices on the surface of the sea that swallows up whole ships along with their doomed crews.
Future expeditions to these mysterious pyramids may finally uncover the truth and reveal amazing ancient technology.
Unfortunately, deep sea archaeology is very expensive and not well-funded. Most dives are to ancient wrecks that promise riches to risk-taking treasure hunters.
And, of course, the world’s universities are not especially eager to explore the idea that very ancient ruins containing high technology may exist that challenges virtually all of the foundations of their pet theories.
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 BRIEF
NASA's Juno spacecraft is finally about reach Jupiter following an almost five-year journey. This is the first time a spacecraft will orbit the poles of Jupiter, providing new answers to the most pressing questions about the gas giant.
THE CULMINATION OF A FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY

Today, after an almost five-year journey, NASA’s solar-powered Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter. This evening, Juno will perform an orbit insertion maneuver, a 35-minute burn ion its main engine, to slow the spacecraft by about 542 meters per second (1,212 miles per hour) so it can be captured into the gas giant’s orbit.
So, what if something goes wrong? The Juno mission team is definitely prepared. They’ve programmed the spacecraft with ways to restart itself if something stops the engine burn. That’s good, because NASA really won’t be in a position to help the spacecraft if any problems arise. It takes about 48 minutes to send a radio signal to Jupiter, and 48 minutes to send one back. If there is an issue, NASA will hear about it an hour later, and by that time it will be way too late for the space agency to send any corrective signals from Earth.
Interested in live coverage of the event?
NASA TV coverage of orbital insertion begins tonight at 10:30 p.m. EDT. Or check out NASA’s “Eyes on the Solar System” app that lets you fly along with Juno during Jupiter orbit insertion.
“WE ARE READY”
Once in Jupiter’s orbit, the spacecraft will circle the Jovian world 37 times during 20 months, skimming to within 5,000 km (3,100 miles) above the cloud tops. This is the first time a spacecraft will orbit the poles of Jupiter, providing new answers to ongoing mysteries about the planet’s core, composition and magnetic fields.
“We are ready,” said Scott Bolton, principal investigator of Juno from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “The science team is incredibly excited to be arriving at Jupiter. The engineers and mission controllers are performing at an Olympic level getting Juno successfully into orbit. As Juno barrels down on Jupiter, the scientists are busy looking at the amazing approach science the spacecraft has already returned to Earth. Jupiter is spectacular from afar and will be absolutely breathtaking from close up.”
Not quite ready for your closeup, Jupiter? Don’t worry. Juno won’t begin taking hi-def photos and videos until its first flyby on August 27. After waiting five years, another month shouldn’t be too bad for the Juno team.
Mysterieuze UFO boven Siberië maakt veel los op social media
Mysterieuze UFO boven Siberië maakt veel los op social media
Een virale video van een mysterieus object aan de avondhemel boven een klein Siberisch stadje maakt veel los op social media. Velen geloven dat het een UFO was.
De beelden zijn op 28 juni gemaakt door twee inwoners van het plaatsje Tsjerlak in de Russische regio Omsk. Het filmpje toont een helder object aan het hemelse firmament dat continu van vorm verandert.
Petr Mironov (22), de maker van de video, zei dat het object eruitzag als een soort vlam. “Nee, ik beweeg de camera niet heen en weer, ik houd hem stil” zegt hij in het filmpje. “Het is een kegelvormig object en we zien dit niet met onze eigen ogen.”
Heldere ster
Petr en Tatiana uit Omsk
Sommigen suggereerden dat het een heteluchtballon of optische illusie was die werd veroorzaakt door een defecte cameralens. Sceptici claimden dat het een nepfilmpje was om aandacht te trekken.
Die beschuldiging is gebaseerd op het feit dat Tatiana Kopylova (23), die de beelden op YouTube plaatste, een groot fan is van UFO’s en vaker dit soort filmpjes plaatst.
De Siberische astronoom Vladimir Krupko vermoedt dat het close-up beelden zijn van een heldere ster. Om die reden zou het object soms kegel- of ruitvormig zijn, aldus nieuwssite OmskZdes.
Buitenaards ruimteschip
Scott C. Waring beweerde echter dat het vliegende object boven Siberië een UFO was en ook in andere delen van de wereld is gezien, waaronder Taiwan, China en Israël. “Dit is geen planeet of ster, dit is een UFO,” zei hij. “Ik heb het met eigen ogen gezien boven Taiwan.”
Het is niet voor het eerst dat er UFO’s zijn gezien boven Omsk, meldt OmskZdes. Meer dan 50 jaar geleden werd daar ook al een mysterieus object gezien. En in 1991 zagen inwoners van het dorp Tsjoekreevka een vuurbal boven de straten zweven. Het object raakte uiteindelijk de grond en explodeerde.
Ufologen suggereerden destijds dat de bal een buitenaards ruimteschip was. Experts troffen een grote hoeveelheid chemische elementen aan op de plek van de explosie, waaronder zeldzame metalen.
Onmogelijke verdwijnende sterren kunnen wijzen op hoogontwikkelde buitenaardse beschavingen
Onmogelijke verdwijnende sterren kunnen wijzen op hoogontwikkelde buitenaardse beschavingen
Arthur C. Clarke werd bekend om zijn uitspraak ‘elke voldoende geavanceerde technologie is niet te onderscheiden van tovenarij’. Als je door een tijdreiziger uit het verleden zou worden meegenomen naar het heden, zou je moderne technologieën zoals draadloze apparaten, vliegtuigen en zelfs kunstmatig licht waarschijnlijk als tovenarij zien.
Astronomen van de Universiteit van Uppsala in Zweden passen hetzelfde principe nu toe in de zoektocht naar hoogontwikkelde buitenaardse beschavingen door te zoeken naar tovenarij aan de avondhemel.
Ver te boven
Ze speuren de hemel af op zoek naar sterren die plotseling op onverklaarbare wijze verdwijnen. Een ster die verdwijnt wijst mogelijk op de aanwezigheid van een zeer geavanceerde technologie die onze verbeelding ver te boven gaat.
Eerder haalde een bizarre ster het nieuws die volgens sommige astronomen wordt omringd door een ‘buitenaardse megastructuur’. Die zou worden gebruikt om een hoogontwikkelde buitenaardse beschaving van energie te voorzien.
Veel verder ontwikkeld
Tot dusver heeft het team van de Universiteit van Uppsala zo’n 300.000 lichtbronnen geanalyseerd. Er zijn al een aantal kandidaten geselecteerd die verder onderzocht moeten worden.
Wat als we bewijs vinden voor technologieën die sterren kunnen laten verdwijnen? Een buitenaardse beschaving die het onmogelijke mogelijk kan maken is hoogstwaarschijnlijk veel verder ontwikkeld dan de mens.
SCHOOLMEISJE VERTELT OVER ONTMOETING MET BUITENAARDSEN ( VIDEO )
SCHOOLMEISJE VERTELT OVER ONTMOETING MET BUITENAARDSEN ( VIDEO )
Voor de eerste keer vertelt Emily Trim publiekelijk over haar ontmoeting met buitenaardsen op het schoolplein in Ruwa in het Afrikaanse Zimbabwe.
Zij was één van de kinderen die in 1994 oog in oog stond met de vreemde wezens die net daarvoor waren geland.
In 1994 gebeurde er iets heel bijzonders bij een school in Rwanda in Afrika. Een gebeurtenis die het leven van veel mensen voorgoed zou veranderen.
Voor het verslag van die gebeurtenis lenen we wat tekst van Ufowijzer:
Een incident dat in 1994 voorviel op de Ariel school in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, toen 62 kinderen tussen de 8 en 12 jaar oud, meldden dat ze tijdens hun speelkwartier die morgen een UFO en ‘vreemde wezens’ hadden gezien.
“Het was die morgen speelkwartier en ze waren buiten op het schoolterrein,” zegt Nickerson. “Ze zagen één zilver hoofdvoertuig waar omheen zich vier andere objecten bevonden. Het kwam naar beneden op een heuvel naast het speelterrein van de school dat zonder hekken was. De grens ervan was de rand van het speelterrein, daarna werd het kreupelbos en heuvelachtig. Ze renden naar de rand van het speelterrein om te kijken was dat voor ding was. Ze zagen een klein wezen dat rondliep bovenop het voertuig terwijl er een ander wezen naar beneden kwam naar de kinderen toe. Hij was helemaal in het zwart, met een strak zittend pak aan. De kinderen vertelden dat hij grote ogen had, ‘zoals rugby ballen’.
De kinderen hadden direct oogcontact met dit wezen. Er lijkt de een of andere vorm van communicatie tussen het wezen en de kinderen te zijn geweest over de staat van de wereld – wat wij de planeet aandoen, de vernietiging die we veroorzaken. Maar niet alle kinderen bleken deze boodschap te hebben gekregen. Enkele kinderen waren getraumatiseerd, anderen waren opgewonden. De jongere kinderen waren degene die overstuur waren, omdat zij vooraan in de groep stonden.
Ze renden allemaal schreeuwend terug naar hun onderwijzers. Die geloofden hen in eerste instantie niet. Maar toen de kinderen thuis kwamen en het aan hun ouders vertelden, kwamen die naar school en wilden weten wat er was voorgevallen. Kort daarna werd de kinderen gevraagd te tekenen wat ze gezien hadden. Ze deden dat afzonderlijk. De tekeningen waren allemaal hetzelfde.”
Eén van hen destijds was Emily Trim.
Zij behoorde bij de kinderen die tot op enkele meters verwijderd stonden van de buitenaardse wezens.
Tot op de dag van vandaag heeft die gebeurtenis grote invloed op haar.
Emliy is ervan overtuigd dat de buitenaardsen haar boodschappen hebben doorgegeven.
Ze heeft prachtige tekeningen en schilderijen gemaakt die volgens haar een manifestatie zijn van de boodschappen die ze heeft ontvangen.
In de onderstaande video spreekt Emily voor het eerst publiekelijk over haar ervaringen.
Het verhaal van een kind dat oog in oog stond met buitenaardsen.
MOEDER UFO BOVEN ALASKA LANCEERT DRIE KLEINERE UFO'S
MOEDER UFO BOVEN ALASKA LANCEERT DRIE KLEINERE UFO'S
Het is middenin de nacht wanneer nachtwaker Jared zijn ronde doet in het slapende Fairbanks in de Amerikaanse staat Alaska.
Het is koud en de lucht is kraakhelder en opeens ziet deze nachtwaker een vreemd licht verschijnen aan de hemel.
Afgelopen donderdag waren wij te gast bij First, een televisiekanaal voor jongeren in samenwerking met Ziggo, waar we onder andere de volgende vraag kregen:
Is YouTube in jouw ogen een voordeel of een nadeel voor het onthullen van de waarheid? Omdat werkelijk iedereen zomaar video’s kan maken over van alles en nog wat.
En toen lieten ze tijdens de uitzending een aantal Youtube opnames zien van UFO’s, waarvan een aantal zelfgemaakte om aan te tonen hoe gemakkelijk het tegenwoordig is om nepopnames te maken.
Wat dat betreft wordt Youtube op een bepaalde manier ook wel een nadeel, omdat het wordt overspoeld door gelukszoekers, grappenmakers en zelfs complete bedrijven die zich specialiseren in het maken van nepvideo’s over UFO’s, af en toe afgewisseld met een echte opnames zoals de beruchte nep videomaker, Thirdphase of the Moon, dat ook doet.
En toch…
Ook zitten er echte opnames tussen al die grappenmakers, zoals de volgende:
Honderd procent zekerheid heb je nooit, die heb je alleen als je zelf een bepaalde opname hebt gemaakt, maar er zijn wel een aantal factoren waar je naar kunt kijken.
Zoals wie heeft de opname gemaakt en waar?
De volgende video is gemaakt in Fairbanks in de Amerikaanse staat Alaska in de nacht van 13 mei 2016 ergens tussen één en drie uur.
Hij is gemaakt door een nachtwaker die op patrouille was. Een man die eigenlijk nooit video’s maakt en geen enkele reden heeft om nu ineens een nepvideo te plaatsen.
Ook wanneer je luistert naar de verbaasde opmerkingen terwijl de opname wordt gemaakt, is een indicatie dat je hier te maken hebt met een echte gebeurtenis.
En die is toch wel bijzonder, want je ziet heel duidelijk een UFO in de lucht hangen, maar dat niet alleen, het lijkt alsof er zich op een gegeven moment andere UFO’s van afsplitsen.
Het lijkt alsof je te maken hebt met een soort moeder UFO van waaruit een drietal kleinere tevoorschijn komen die op een verkenningsmissie worden gestuurd.
Op een later punt zullen ze dan weer allemaal terugkeren naar de moeder-UFO en het geheel zal weer verdwijnen zoals ze zijn gekomen.
Hieronder een video van hetzelfde fenomeen maar dan met wat analyse van beelden erbij.
Ook in ons land komen de vreemde ronde bollen nog steeds veelvuldig voor, meestal wit of oranje gekleurd.
Tijdens de televisieuitzending bij First was daar ook te gast Marcel Schakenraad van het Youtubekanaal Raar Maar Waar.
Ook bij Marcel staan de vreemde onverklaarbare oranje bollen in de top drie van UFO-waarnemingen in ons land. Deze video is inmiddels al twee jaar oud, dus misschien binnenkort tijd voor een update.
As I was going though this weeks Black and White NASA Curiosity Rover photos, I found a glowing object that really shouldn't be there. Its dark and this object is glowing like it makes its own energy. We can clearly make out many right angles so it does look like its a constructed object.
This area had two photos of it, one with the white object, one without it. One was taken by the Navcam Left B camera. The other Navcam Right B camera.Both were taken at 06:38:20, so perhaps this white object hid quickly in those rocks. This could be a white rabbit creature, like the one I reported back in 2012. (Click here to view the white rabbit).
If the rover investigated it, all close up photos were not posted. There is only one photo of this object and it was so bright that I am confident that NASA scientists noticed.

UFOs Appear In Henderson Despite Fireworks Happening Everywhere, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 2, 2016 Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA This UFO was caught by Steven Barone of Vegas this week. It is higher than the mountains and moves up and down very fast, so it could be a UFO, but it also could be a secret project from the local US Air Force base nearby. Very cool catch, just wish it was in night vision. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of July 2, 2016. Being that the 4th of July was only two days away I wondered what kind of night it was going to be. I see fireworks going off all year long and it gets heavy around holidays where fireworks are typically used to celebrate. I definitely saw plenty of fireworks going off last night but it didn't seem to have any effect on the UFO activity. I caught these UFOs that I see all the time out in the desert in Henderson along with an amazing display at the Air Force Base. There were also some objects that appeared in the north valley. I used up a new set of batteries on the night vision camera because that event went on so long. It turned out to be a bit of a bummer because after filming four lights sitting still just hovering and flashing there was only one time where a fifth object appeared and moved briefly. I put that video together and decided to delete it because it wasn't really anything special and I need all the room I can save on my external hard drives.
Chinese news is reporting a giant disk parked over their city of Shanghai yesterday for ten hours. For it to be there so long, there must be some video of this thing, but I haven't seen any yet. I will keep checking and update this later. I don't think any Chinese military pilot would dare fly over a city to test out an alien tech saucer, but you never really know. This could be alien tech in Chinese military hands.

Shanghai night sky appears UFO sightings suspension over more than 10 hours
Shanghai witnessed many users reflect the clouds in the night sky with a flash suspended UFO, according to projections, the presence of the object in the night sky in Shanghai time over 10 hours.
"Yesterday 4:00, I saw the UFO in Songhu Road, near the southeast where the three channels. Sparking been a long time." Mr. Meng friends yesterday 4:00 to Xinmin call reflected. According to its memories, the object was suspended in the night sky clouds. Mr. Meng look through the telescope, discovered the object flashing red, yellow, and blue light. He then called the friends around to watch together, they all said they do not know what it is. "At first I thought it was the stars, but the stars are not so big, but suspect it is not a plane, but the object has been suspended in the sky, does not seem to move." Mr. Meng said the object floating in the air for a long time, until dawn, clouds They dispersed after see clearly. Since the environment is too dark, Mr. Meng was unable to record clear images.
Internet users questioned whether the object was a kite lights at night, Mr. Meng denied: ".. Kites fluttering under general meeting, but that the object has been stuck in a position and a higher position, you should not be able to reach the location of the kite"
Mr Choi in public the evening of 26 southwest of Shanghai Xinzhuang area also observed this phenomenon: "We found behind the clouds there is a very bright object, at first we thought it was a plane, but I was referring to a nearby building, the object does not moving, feeling very strange. "
Event "Shanghai night sky appears UFO" also attracted close attention to some users. Many users have posted that Shanghai has witnessed the object, Shanghai netizen "bleed with Sophie," said he found more than 266 points of the object evening, when work on their own just to chat and colleagues downstairs: "Seeing a circle thing, red, hovering far away in the beginning did not pay attention, thought it was a plane or something, but then it was still dark, the aircraft did not think so bright it, then the sky darkened. that red things disappeared behind the clouds. then in the same location, continues to flash. "Since then living in Yichuan Road, Pudong, Beixinjing users were each proved myself to see the object. Netizen "Dousha chief" said the object "yellow flashing lightning", it was said that "only see the clouds in a flash, did not see the light-emitting substance." Some Internet users question whether lightning and other natural phenomena, but the opposition: "lightning can not at the same location, continuous flash two hours of it!" (when it was 20 o'clock at night)
According to eyewitness testimony than friends, if the object from the "bleed with Sophie" from the time of 18:00 sightings calculated, then by the time the next witness Mr. Meng 4:00, the object in the sky Shanghai residence time of more than 10 hours.
January 1871, Texas, a farmer named John Martin near Denison farming, occasionally looked up and saw a circular object in the sky like a plate in slow flight. The next day, "Denison Daily News" newspaper reports appeared in the term "flying saucer."
I know this is weird, but this is a UFO behind the words on the cam. The cam photo changes every 2 minutes and this was one of the still shots of the Colima volcano in Mexico. Being caught behind the cam identification code is very unexpected, but then catching a UFO anywhere is always unexpected. This UFO has a classic disk shape, much like the UFO that Bob Lazar worked on at Area S4 and the same as the UFO I caught on Google Map at Cape of Good hope (Google deleted it).
Its well known among UFO researchers that alien bases exist below both Colima Volcano and Popocatepeti volcano in Mexico. The base is 4-5km deep and was strategically placed below the volcano because of its difficulty for humans to scale the mountain and impossible to enter the mouth. This UFO is more sleek than that of the Friendship Case at Rocca Pia, Italy, but I sure would like a ride in one of these. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

1km Mothership Over Cartagena, Colombia Has Residents Concerned, June 30, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: June 30, 2016 Location of sighting: Cartagena, Colombia Here is a massive UFO that is cloaked inside this cloud shield. Why use a cloud shield to hide in? Honestly, how would your grandmother feel if a 1km UFO flew over your neighborhood? Yeah...a 911 emergency right? So, they do whats best and what it takes to get their ship from A to B in the safest way possible among humans. Man this came out just in time for ID4 part 2 which is in theaters right now. This UFO looks a lot like the one in the movie. If you haven't seen the new movie out...go check it out. Can't believe the video is so short. It would have been easy to get 10-30 minutes of video here. I wonder whats up with that? Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Mysterious Lights Spotted in Dinwiddie: Is It A UFO or Nighttime Lights?
Mysterious Lights Spotted in Dinwiddie: Is It A UFO or Nighttime Lights?
There were government leaders, police officers, health professionals, entrepreneurs of corporations, teachers, skilled psychologists and the listing goes on of men and women who observed strange alien encounter. The point here is, everybody may experience this event. In fact, there was an incident where hundreds of teachers and students witnessed a flying saucer. The term Unidentified Flying Object refers to any flying object, which cannot be identified by the naked eye. This can be anything, from planes at funny angles to experimental vessel. It can also mean planets or meteorites, such as Jupiter or Venus which looks like they are moving. The term does not correlate to aliens right away, but due to the lack of explanations, humans would like to believe their connections.
Recently, mysterious lights were claimed to have been spotted by a witness residing in Dinwiddie. Though lights can be identified, it seems like these type of lights in the McKenney night sky had left the residents scratching their heads and repeatedly ask for answers. While some believed the sighting to be natural lights, some residents saw it as a flying saucer. The saucer could be a form of life from another world. The lights are immovable because there were no audible sounds that would signify that an engine is running. CBS 6 went out to McKenney to shed light on the alleged flying object. While this flying object remains to be a mysterious element, for now, Zach Daniel, the CBS 6 Chief Meteorologist has a couple of guesses as what it could be. According to him, the lights most likely are coming from another planet or perhaps satellites visible in the sky.
There is an endless list of sightings, which when seen by the unskilled eye will not be readily identifiable. For years now, sky and eyes have met to see the controversies the universe has to offer.
This happening took place on January 8, 1981, at Trans-en-Province, France. An unidentified object was seen landing in the yard of Nicolai. Despite the drawback to this case due to the single witness that validated the landing, he still gave a full account to police authorities, making him as a trustworthy and reliable individual.
Nicolai had lived at the Trans-en-Province house for 14 years with his wife. Nicolai’s wife worked as a cleaning lady, and Nicolai has just retired from SCNI Company. Since 1973, Nicolai had suffered from a heart condition, which forced him to retire six years later with a pension. On January 8, 1981, Nicolai was outside in the yard when at 5:00 PM, he heard a whistling sound. Later on, he was shocked to see a flying device with a large pine tree nearby the boundary of the property. As the alien continued its downward motion, he moved closer for a better view. He clearly saw the object in the yard. Moments after, the object raised up and took off. As it made its way, the object had kicked up dust. Nicolai appears like two saucers, which is inverted on beneath each other. It stands at the height of 4 feet, with a dull gray color.
GEPAN, which is a department of the French Space Agency, is responsible for all the UFO investigation. He also reconstructed the duration and trajectory. According to the witness, he started perceiving the phenomenon in the sky beyond the trees at the back end of the huge platform. In the case, Mr. Nicolai observes that the motion was continuous and fast, without sudden changes in speed. The Trans-en Province case has always been included in the discussions. In fact, it was considered as one of the best cases that took place in France. On the case, much investigation was done. Though definite conclusions may arrive, residents therein were assuming that a UFO landed on January 8, 1981, in France.
Closing in on Jupiter: 7 Fun Facts About Juno's Mission
Closing in on Jupiter: 7 Fun Facts About Juno's Mission
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor

NASA's Juno spacecraft will reach Jupiter Monday (July 4) after a five-year journey through deep space. The probe will study the structure and evolution of the solar system's largest planet from orbit, taking measurements for more than a year despite Jupiter's intense radiation environment.
"Jupiter is the planet on steroids in our solar system; everything about it is extreme," Juno principal investigator Scott Bolton, of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, told Space.com.
The mission has several major science goals. One is to learn how much water is inside Jupiter, which should yield insights about the amounts of water that were present in the solar system's early days. [Juno's Jupiter Arrival: Complete Coverage]
Juno scientists also hope to map out Jupiter's interior, determining (among other things) whether or not the planet has a rocky core. Such information should help researchers learn more about the planet-formation process in general, shedding light on the nature of worlds throughout the Milky Way galaxy, mission team members have said.
"It's a big challenge," Bolton said, "but we have to take those challenges if we're going to explore and learn about ourselves, and how we fit into nature."
Here are seven things to know about Juno's mission:
1. Jupiter's radiation will take a toll on Juno
Juno is scheduled to orbit Jupiter for about 20 months. The spacecraft likely can't keep going much longer than that, because of the intense radiation environment at Jupiter.
For example, the planet's magnetic field is about 20,000 times as intense as Earth's, so Juno will have to withstand impacts by many charged particles moving at superfast speeds. [Juno's Jupiter Mission Fraught with Danger (Video)]
That's not to say that NASA isn't doing its best to keep the probe safe. Juno harbors a radiation-shielded electronics vault, the first of its kind. The vault is a cube about the size of an SUV's trunk, made of titanium about 0.3 inches (0.8 centimeters) thick. Inside are some of the most precious parts of Juno — its brain (command and data-handling box), its power and distribution unit, and 20 other key electronics components, according to a NASA press kit. With instruments inside, the vault has a mass of about 500 lbs. (200 kilograms).
2. Juno only has about as much hard-drive space as your laptop
The spacecraft's main computer has about as much memory as a laptop with a solid-state drive. The computer features 256 megabytes of flash memory — to preserve data even in the event of a power interruption — and 128 megabytes of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). DRAM is useful in situations where low cost and high capacity are required at the same time, NASA officials have said.
Why not give Juno more memory? The spacecraft uses the BAE Systems RAD750 single-board computer, which is designed for high-radiation environments. This computer has been used many times in space, including for NASA missions such as the Van Allen probes (which fly through Earth's radiation belts), the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Mars rover Curiosity.
3. Juno is the most distant solar-powered spacecraft ever
Juno has gone farther into deep space than any other solar-powered probe. The spacecraft set the record in January, when it was about 493 million miles (793 million kilometers) from the sun, surpassing the distance of the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft during the latter's journey to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Most spacecraft that venture so far from the sun need to use nuclear power to keep going. But Juno is able to generate enough power, thanks to its three huge solar panels, each of which is 30 feet (9 meters) long. These arrays will generate about 500 watts of power at Jupiter, mission team members have said.
4. Juno will spin while doing science
Juno spins to stay stable, a strategy that borrows from the design of NASA's old Pioneer probes. Two Pioneer spacecraft (Pioneers 10 and 11) sailed by Jupiter in 1973 and are still cruising out into the solar system, albeit silently; NASA lost contact with Pioneer 10 in 2003 and Pioneer 11 in 1995.
Juno's spin rate has varied quite a bit during its journey so far. When its main engine fires, Juno spins up to 5 revolutions per minute (RPM). During cruise periods, this rate dips to 1 RPM.
When doing science operations, however, Juno will spin at 2 RPM. At this rate, Juno's field of view will move across Jupiter 400 times during one journey from pole to pole. The spacecraft will not use a "scan platform" to point its instruments because of the spinning design, and also because the instruments don't need to point in different directions at the same time.

5. Juno will take nearly three months to reach its final orbit
After Juno inserts itself into Jupiter's orbit, the probe will spend 107 days in what is called a "capture orbit." Scientists chose to take this long way around instead of inserting Juno directly into its final, 14-day orbit, because the direct route would have required a lot of fuel.
The capture orbit not only saves fuel, but it also gives mission scientists a chance to check out their instruments and begin science observations from afar. According to NASA, the team will begin using all the instruments to collect data about 50 hours after Juno is inserted into Jupiter's orbit.
6. Juno has an unusual final orbit
The best way to map any world is to move a spacecraft repeatedly over the poles. Then the entire world can spin beneath the probe, allowing it to map every part of the surface. But at Jupiter, there's a rub — high levels of potentially damaging radiation close to the planet.
As a way to minimize its radiation exposure, Juno will fly in a very elongated orbit. At the south end of its orbit, Juno will be at its closest approach to Jupiter: just 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers). But as it leaves the south polar region, Juno will fly way out beyond the moon Callisto's orbit, which lies about 1.2 million miles (1.9 million km) from Jupiter.
This highly elliptical orbit will also keep Juno's solar panels in sunlight, NASA officials have said.
NASA's Juno Mission: Everything You Could Want to Know
In the past few decades, scientists have learned that life is incredibly hardy and persistent. Earth microbes thrive in boiling-hot, deep-sea vents at the bottom of the ocean, and some can even survive exposure to the harsh environment of space.
It's therefore possible that some Earth organisms may still be alive aboard Juno. Scientists and NASA officials don't want to take the chance that such microbes could contaminate Jupiter's ocean-harboring moon Europa — one of the solar system's best bets to host alien life — or other Jovian satellites such as Ganymede or Callisto.
So at the end of its mission, Juno will perform a 5.5-day maneuver that will crash it into Jupiter's atmosphere intentionally. The mission is scheduled to end in February 2018, but it may be extended slightly.
Mistaken Identity: Ceres' Mysterious Bright Spots Aren't Epsom Salt After All
Mistaken Identity: Ceres' Mysterious Bright Spots Aren't Epsom Salt After All
By Sarah Lewin, Staff Writer
Strange Ceres: New work suggests that surprising carbonate salts put the shine in the bright spots on the dwarf planet's Occator crater. Researchers also found that Ceres' topography, pictured here, is only consistent with a subsurface less than 30-40 percent ice by volume.

It's a case of mistaken identity: The mysterious bright spots on the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres were thought to be composed of hydrated magnesium sulfate (similar to the magnesium sulfate sold as Epsom salt), but new work reveals a different chemical signature in these bright dots, cooked up in watery conditions beneath its crust.
And the revelations don't end there: Another research paper, also published today (June 29), suggests that Ceres' deep craters and jagged mountain mean the crust is mostly rock, rather than mostly ice as previously proposed.
The dwarf planet, orbiting in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, seems to bridge the gap between smaller asteroids, rocky planets like Earth and Mars, and the big icy bodies farther out, like the moons of Saturn — its shell is more rocky than icy, but it hosts unexpected chemistry that bears a resemblance to the reactions that develop on Earth, and salts that form in the ultracold conditions of the far solar system. It also hosts the most concentrated surface deposit of the substance sodium carbonate ever seen beyond Earth. [Photos: Dwarf Planet Ceres, the Solar System's Largest Asteroid]
Ceres resides in the asteroid belt, but it dwarfs the other asteroids there at 590 miles (950 kilometers) wide and is an even sphere; it even takes up an estimated third of all the asteroid belt's mass, researchers said. Reserachers believe it could be a planetary embryo — a protoplanet that would have eventually turned into a planet like Earth or Mars under different circumstances. It is the only dwarf planet found closer in than the Kuiper belt, on the solar system's outer edges with Pluto.
The bottom of Ceres' Occator crater shines with bright, reflective patches — the brightest region among those that puzzled and intrigued scientists as the Dawn spacecraft first approached Ceres and then entered orbit in 2015 (after orbiting another asteroid, Vesta, in 2011 and 2012). Eventually 130 bright patches were found on the dwarf planet's dark surface, mostly associated with craters. While researchers first suspected the bright spots might be ice, a closer look revealed they weren't quite that reflective and that they could be composed of salts instead. But the particular salt revealed in this study, published in Nature, by Dawn's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer would have formed in a process involving liquid water.
"That was something we had not expected," Chris Russell, Dawn's principal investigator and planetary scientist at University of California, Los Angeles, told Space.com. "The carbonates are a very strong indication of the processes now that we believe took place in the interior, that makes it more Earthlike, when it can alter the chemistry inside."
"It's not something that's just lying around out there in space," he added.
Craters like Occator gave the lead author of the Nature Geoscience paper, Michael Bland, something to ponder as well. He calculated that if Ceres' subsurface was more than a certain percentage of ice, it would have a much more "relaxed" appearance, created as the ice warmed over time, instead of the harsh topography actually seen. Rather than a thick layer that's mostly made of ice, the researchers found, the dwarf planet's subsurface must be only 30-40 percent ice, mixed in with rock and a lower-density material, maybe hydrated salts.
Measurements from Dawn are superimposed on a view of Ceres' Occator crater. The red indicates a high abundance of carbonates in the bright spots found there.

An active world
The composition of the salts found in the crater's bright spots suggests that they formed with the help of liquid water, which would freeze in its pure form but could persist when mixed with salts, which slightly lowers its freezing point. (Water mixed with a different salt is proposed to flow on the surface of Mars.) On Ceres, that water would have emerged from deeper within the dwarf planet, where it could be warmer, or melted at the site of the impact that produced the Occator crater.
"The composition that we found implied that liquid water was present sometime in the recent past of Ceres in the subsurface," Maria Cristina De Sanctis, lead author on the Nature paper and researcher at the Institute for Space Astrophysics and Planetology at the National Institute for Astrophysics in Rome, told Space.com. And the particular salt formed is sodium carbonate, a salt formed from carbon that, on Earth, usually forms as water evaporates from a body of water like a lake or in hot springs. The compounds have been detected off of Earth only in the plumes of material that burst out of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus (they also found ammonia-bearing salts in the mix, also found on Enceladus).
"In the case of Ceres, we have a lot of carbonates — really a huge amount," De Sanctis said. "We did not expect to have such a huge amount of carbonates."
By analyzing the composition of the salts that spot the dwarf planet's surface, De Sanctis said, researchers can learn more about the conditions inside the planet. And a big question is whether liquid water persists below the planet's thick, rocky surface, or whether it was merely present or generated when the crater formed, around 80 million years ago. (Even though the surface layers are not mostly icy, they would have had enough to let the reaction work.)
Strange Ceres
Moving outward in the solar system, objects become colder and wetter, made more of ice than of rock. Ceres is rocky, but the composition of the salts, including ammonia-bearing salts which require super cold conditions to form, has more in common with those outer solar system bodies.
That's a "strange connection" with the outer solar system, Mikhail Zolotov, a researcher at Arizona State University and author of a News & Views article on the new works, which appears in Nature Geoscience, told Space.com.
"The chemistry is unusual, and it's key to understand how the body was formed and how it was evolved," he said.
It raises the question, Zolotov and Russell both said, of whether the material that eventually formed Ceres might have migrated inward from the outer solar system at some point, or whether Ceres formed where it currently orbits.
The story of Ceres' water is far from complete, as well — Russell mentioned that other papers from the Dawn team are in the works that describe how researchers can investigate water on the dwarf planet's surface. "Expect the water story to continue for some period of time, because there's a lot of different ways we can explore water."
Going forward, the researchers said, they will have to check the composition of other bright spots on Ceres to see if the chemical process they've observed is restricted to certain regions or if it's more global. But regardless, the asteroid belt outcast continues to prove a complex, active world.
"The IAU [International Astronomical Union] has defined what a planet is in a particular way," Russell said, "but I think of a planet more as a body which, when it's big enough and has enough activity … is now making things, producing things in its interior that are not just sitting there for the eons but in fact that the body evolves with time inside."
The work in Nature about the bright spots' composition can be found here, and the work in Nature Geoscience about the subsurface composition can be found here.
Bright blue auroras at Jupiter's north and south poles are putting on a veritable fireworks show just before the July 4 arrival of the Juno probe.
Jupiter's colorful auroras have been imaged before, but a month of daily observations of Jupiter by the Hubble Space Telescope has allowed scientists to put together a time-lapse video showing how the auroras evolve.
"These auroras are very dramatic and among the most active I have ever seen," Jonathan Nichols, a researcher at the University of Leicester in England who is using Hubble's observations to study auroras on Jupiter, said in a statement. "It almost seems as if Jupiter is throwing a fireworks party for the imminent arrival of Juno."
The auroras cover large sections of the planet's poles and are "hundreds of times more energetic" than Earth's auroras, according to the statement from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Hubble Telescope group. Earth's auroras are created when charged particles from the sun (called the solar wind) interact with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. On Jupiter, auroras are created by the energetic particles that come from the sun, but also from one of the planet's moons, Io. Jupiter has an incredibly strong magnetic field, and, unlike on Earth, the auroras on Jupiter never stop, according to the statement.
A combined image of Jupiter take by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2014 in optical light and an observations of its auroras in ultraviolet light, taken in 2016.
Credit: NASA, ESA, and J. Nichols (University of Leicester)Nichols and his colleagues are using Hubble to examine the auroras in ultraviolet light, and analyze how the auroras respond to the solar wind. The Juno probe is currently flying through that same solar wind, and measuring its properties, the statement said. (Hubble did a similar study of Jupiter's auroras and the solar wind with the Cassini probe in 2000).
Jupiter's auroras were first spotted by the Voyager 1 probe, and have been studied by additional observatories ever since.
The Juno probe will arrive at Jupiter on July 4, and turn on its thrusters in order to slow down and enter into orbit around the planet. Juno will make a total of 37 loops around Jupiter (traveling into the narrow space between the cloud tops and the radiation belt that surrounds the planet), over the course of about 20 months. With its mission complete, Juno will make a death dive into Jupiter in February 2018.
Rosetta's days are finally numbered as countdown to comet crash commences
Rosetta's days are finally numbered as countdown to comet crash commences
On September 30, the European Space Agency will send the Rosetta spacecraft crashing into Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
All things must come to an end, and so it is for Rosetta, the spacecraft in orbit around Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The European Space Agency has officially announced a date for the mission's conclusion: September 30, 2016.
On that date, the orbiter will join the Philae lander on the comet's surface, but not with a gentle touchdown. The Rosetta team is going to send the orbiter plummeting into Comet 67P/C-G, seizing what could be its last chance to collect valuable data, and snap high-resolution images that it would have no other way of obtaining.
Rosetta launched on March 2, 2004, and arrived in orbit around Comet 67P/C-G on August 6, 2014. This was no mean feat. The comet travels on a wide elliptical orbit, so the ESA had to carefully calculate how fast Rosetta could travel, then figure out where its path and the comet's path would intersect.
The Rosetta orbiter, taking photos from a position in orbit around the comet, and the Philae lander, collecting data on the comet's surface, provided a wealth of new information about Comet 67P that helped scientists understand a lot more about comets in general.
Comet 67P is currently travelling back out towards the farthest point from the sun in its orbit. At that distance, the power Rosetta's solar cells can collect from the sun is significantly reduced. Putting the orbiter into hibernation was one option, but there is no guarantee it could even get enough power to stay warm enough to survive.
So the Rosetta team has decided that the mission must come to an end. But crashing an orbiter into it's surface, though, is way trickier than it sounds.

"Planning this phase is in fact far more complex than it was for Philae's landing. The last six weeks will be particularly challenging as we fly eccentric orbits around the comet -- in many ways this will be even riskier than the final descent itself," explained ESA Rosetta spacecraft manager Sylvain Lodiot.
Once Rosetta meets the surface of Comet 67P, the spacecraft will no longer be able to communicate with Earth. However, this doesn't mean that there will be no more discoveries.
"September 30 will mark the end of spacecraft operations, but the beginning of the phase where the full focus of the teams will be on science," said ESA Rosetta scientist Matt Taylor. "That is what the Rosetta mission was launched for and we have years of work ahead of us."
Nous voici de retour dans la Montagne Bourbonnaise, il s'agit donc d'une suite aux précédents articles parlant de ces divers lieux étranges, sacrés, chargés d'Histoire et de Légendes, de mystères non élucidés pour beaucoup. Vous trouverez les liens vers ces articles en bas de celui-ci.
Encore un mystère non élucidé que ces étranges souterrains annulaires dont les premiers exemplaires semblent avoir été découverts au milieu du 19ème siècle, alors que d'autres l'ont encore été au cours du 20ème, et qu'il en resterait probablement encore à découvrir. On a longtemps pensé qu'ils étaient uniques et concentrés dans le Centre de la France, mais d'autres découvertes similiaires, en Autriche et en République Tchèque, ont encore accentué le mystère les entourant. Et ce mystère est multiple si on épluche les diverses publications à leur sujet : on ne connaît pas leur but, la raison de leur existence, ni réellement par qui et quand ils ont été creusés. Car les quelques datations effectuées, (encore une fois avec un mauvais calibrage du carbone 14, réévalué récemment), sur de très rares tessons de poteries ou artefacts métalliques trouvés seulement dans quelques souterrains, s'étalent de la période gallo-romaine (ou même plusieurs siècles avant JC à un endroit !, j'en reparlerais) jusqu'à la Renaissance (1694) ! De toute façon, l'on sait depuis longtemps qu'un grand nombre de souterrains ont été utilisés et réutilisés au cours du temps (des souterrains du moyen-âge ont ainsi été encore utilisés pendant la guerre 1914-1918 !) : une datation raisonnable ne saurait donc être très fiable tant que la science n'a pas découvert le moyen de dater les gravures et usinages de la pierre... la présence de poteries ou artefacts ne témoignant bien souvent qu'une appropriation postérieure de lieux plus anciens, ce que les archéologues raisonnables et ouverts reconnaissent volontiers.
En fait, la majorité des souterrains, mêmes bouchés depuis longtemps, ne contiennent absolument rien : ils semblent même avoir été scrupuleusement nettoyés de toutes traces de leurs bâtisseurs et même d'autres visiteurs ultérieurs. Si nous ne parlons que de la Montagne Bourbonnaise, le nombre de souterrains jusqu'à présent découverts seraient de 34 parfaitement identifiés (dont 14 sur la seule commune d'Arfeuilles - un souterrain tous les 300 mètres !, 5 sur Le Breuil, 3 sur la Chapelle, 2 sur Laprugne, le Mayet de Montagne et Nizerolles, 1 sur La Chabanne, Isserpent, Molles et Saint-Nicolas des Biefs) et de 15 de plus (49 donc en tout) dont l'existence est mentionnée par un ou plusieurs témoignages, mais qui n'ont jamais été explorés ou leur situation exacte perdue au cours du temps...
C'est d'ailleurs le cas d'un des premiers découverts, en 1854, et qui avait fait l'objet d'une publication ving ans plus tard et d'une exploration : on a perdu depuis sa situation exacte dans le hameau de Terre-Noire de la commune de Laprugne (Allier) ! Voici cette étude (qui pensait par erreur à un souterrain-refuge) et schéma, dans "Le Forez illustré" du 1er et du 8 août 1875 par le docteur Frédéric Noëlas. Pour rappel, ce souterrain avait été découvert en 1855 par hasard, lors du creusement des fondations d'une grange, puis rebouché.
Extraits : " La région montagneuse qui forme entre la chaîne de la Madeleine et celle du Montoncel le canton le plus méridional du département de l'Allier offre à l'archéologie des sujets d'étude qui touchent au plus haut point de la science: roches à bassins et à empreintes, châtelards, voies primitives, souterrains refuges, villes et industries gauloises, murs gaulois, pour ne parler que de ce qui nous est le plus à cœur….
En dehors du bassin et des travaux de concession des mines de cuivre de la Prugne, sur les premières croupes des hauteurs qui s'élèvent brusquement jusqu'à près de treize cents mètres au sommet de la Madeleine, un hameau, celui de Terre-Noire, étage ses maisons à quelque distance du profond ravin où coule le ruisseau de la Coste.
Il y a vingt ans des propriétaires, voulant y bâtir une grange, creusèrent des fondations et furent on ne peut plus surpris de sentir le sol peu solide dans un endroit rocheux; ils creusèrent par curiosité et découvrirent un souterrain, où ils pénétrèrent assez imprudemment et sans ordres, surtout sans intention de s'en rendre compte par l'étude; ils n'y trouvèrent, dit-on que des morceaux d'une poterie grossière. La découverte fit grand bruit, nombre de visiteurs accoururent, mais tous inexpérimentés; puis on referma la cavité tant et si bien qu'il a fallu deux demi-journées pour la retrouver.
Cependant, on avait un point de départ; il avait fallu, lors de la construction de la grange, reculer les fondations, on chercha donc dernièrement et, au fond d'une tranchée d'environ un mètre cinquante centimètres de profondeur, on rencontra une entrée du souterrain, la même que celle découverte il y a vingt années. L'ami qui nous préparait si galamment la besogne pénétra dans la cavité par une ouverture assez étroite, reconnut les lieux puis referma soigneusement avec de grosse pierres l'entrée du roc, crainte d'accident.
Enfin, le 11 juillet dernier, nous nous rendîmes vers le souterrain avec une certaine solennité: un orage majestueux nous surprit en route... deux petits murs formaient l'entrée de la grotte; leur distance réciproque était d'environ un mètre, ils reposaient sur la roche vive et une pente assez douce conduisait à une ouverture si étroite que les épaules d'un homme avaient peine à y passer; mais au bout de quelques pas faits et en se laissant glisser les pieds en avant, le souterrain se révèle à la hauteur d'un homme de petite taille.
Voici l'aspect de la galerie: elle est creusée dans une roche de porphyre quartziféré très fendillée et cassante, commune dans le pays et coupée de filons d'un granit grenu décomposé nommé gore, au-dessous d'une terre labourée qui porte le nom de la mure (masure); sa direction générale est du S-E au N-E; sa voûte de forme pointue très irrégulièrement ogivale n'est nulle part soutenue par une maçonnerie quelconque; elle ne paraissait pas solide, la pierre s'égrenait laissant passer de grosses gouttes d'eau de pluie et à chaque roulement de tonnerre que l'oreille ne percevait pas au reste dans les profondeurs, de petites rocailles se détachaient comme au moindre frottement; la largeur du boyau souterrain est d'environ 0.70 à 0.80 m ; nous étions trois explorateurs et le travailleur avait peine à se servir de sa pioche.
Une première galerie, pendant cinq ou six mètres, serpente fortement et brusquement, puis elle envoie à gauche et à droite deux branches de manière à circonscrire une masse de roche en forme de colossal pilier arrondi; on observe que la branche de gauche continue presque droit la première galerie avec la même hauteur de voûte et la même largeur; la branche de droite se dévie fortement de ce côté et son plafond est plus bas d'au moins 30 à 35 cm ; des flaques d'eau jaunâtre s'étaient amassées sur le sol, mais aucune fosse, aucun puits ne s'ouvraient dans les galeries au point de rencontre des deux branches; dans la paroi de gauche est creusée une case ou niche dans une partie granuleuse de la roche à hauteur de l'épaule, cette case large de 15 cm a le sommet pointu; on voit très distinctement les nombreux coups d'un outil pointu comme un pic qui a creusé la pierre tendre (ailleurs la pierre fendillée ne montre pas ces traces).
On distingue un ascia gallo-romain gravé à gauche du socle de cette statue-pierre tombale. L'ascia qui servit peut-être à creuser les souterrains, avait aussi une valeur symbolique, puisqu'elle était souvent gravée sur les pierres tombales gallo-romaines, étant censée protéger et assurer l'inviolabilité dudit tombeau.
Nul vestige de rouille ou d'oxyde de cuivre pour indiquer la matière de l'outil, mais vu la difficulté de manœuvrer, même un marteau de mineur, à cause de la voûte, on voit que l'outil était emmanché si court qu'il devait être vraisemblablement tenu à la main comme un couteau… nulle marque de fuliginosité ou de suie de lampe dans cette case ni aux voûtes; ces deux galeries réunies sans chambre élargie, sans issues autres, après un mètre de parcours, rencontrent un muretin de grosses pierres haut de 50 cm disposé transversalement, il est maçonné avec de l'argile jaune comme ceux de l'entrée, et forme un petit ponceau sous lequel fuit un filet d'eau par une pente assez rapide; au-delà et au bout de 6 mètres , presque en ligne droite, un fort éboulement barre le passage et sur le sol extérieur on remarque, à cet endroit, une dépression sensible.
L'eau s'écoulant ainsi n'avait pu s'accumuler en trop grande quantité, mais elle gênait nos recherches, la pioche ne ramenant que des pierrailles sans forme, point de poterie ni d'outils; de la paille pourrie et noire et dans la galerie de gauche de la paille brûlée et charbonnée provenant sans doute des brandes de paille dont on s'était servi au risque de s'enfumer lors de l'exploration d'il y a 20 ans; un bout de plateau ou d'épaisses planches de chêne mises là sans doute pour appuyer sur les pierres et ne pas se mouiller les pieds, tout annonce une visite timide et hâtive. Le bois du plateau est pourri, mou et malgré qu'il soit infiltré d'eau, il a perdu énormément de son poids. L'air avait pénétré dans le souterrain et si la première fois il était méphitique et éteignait les lumières, lors de notre examen il s'était renouvelé. Mais comme contraste avec ce bois, nous avons recueilli dans le terrain et sous les éboulis de la galerie de droite un long bâton brut et noueux dont une branche cassée au bout forme un crochet, vrai bâton de sauvage, d’homme primitif (nous savons qu’on a trouvé semblable objet dans des souterrains analogues). Il était difficile de savoir au moment de la trouvaille de quel bois était ce bâton, on eût dit un morceau d’érable à l’écorce rude (bois très rare dans la montagne) et tout à fait comparable à des bois qui ont séjourné des siècles dans les tourbières ; celui-là, au lieu d’avoir perdu de son poids, en avait acquis considérablement, il pesait de cinq à sept cent grammes, infiltré d’eau mais aussi de matières siliceuses…..
On est convenu de nommer ce genre de grottes creusées de main d’homme "souterrains de refuges", mais la science n’a pas dit son dernier mot sur leur mystérieuse destination. Dès lors qu’ils ne sont pas construits de maçonnerie, il y a grande présomption d’antiquité, aucun château féodal n’y ayant laissé vestige et souvenir, mais on ne peut raisonner sur leur destination que par analogie et apporter dans leur recherche un grand esprit critique ; dans les uns, on trouve des restes évidents de l’homme préhistorique, hachettes de pierre, auges à broyer le grain ou le millet, comme dans la Creuse, le souterrain-refuge de Sanglard… Dans les autres on a trouvé de la poterie romaine ; les uns sont pourvus de puits ou fosses de défense, de conduits d’air ou soupiraux, présentent des cachettes, des grès à aiguiser, des réservoirs d’eau et des cavités circulaires, véritables silos que l’on cachait à l’ennemi; d’autres enfin offrent, taillés dans le bloc, des ouvertures avec des feuillures pour les portes, des bancs, des retraites et des salles spacieuses, de sorte qu’on a pu dire que c’était des habitations permanentes aussi bien que des refuges temporaires, même des caveaux ou des greniers d’approvisionnement.
Ils ont pu être occupés et réoccupés à différentes époques de troubles et d’invasion et sont creusés suivant différents types. (YH : à l'époque il y a peu de souterrains annulaires découverts et étudiés, mais l'auteur fait tout de même, remarquablement, le lien avec ceux-ci et un autre déjà découvert à Arfeuilles).
Ils sont rarement isolés, souvent groupés dans le même endroit à proximité de fontaine ou de ruisseaux ; ceux de la contrée, assez nombreux, semblent appartenir tous aux mêmes types : une galerie étroite embrassant un énorme pilier, nous en connaissons un à Arfeuilles dont la forme est tréflée, c’est-à-dire qu’il a trois piliers entourés de galerie qui se rendent dans un boyau unique. Tous ont été creusés de la même manière, avec les mêmes outils, dans la même roche. Nous faisons remarquer que la roche n’a pas partout un degré de solidité pareille, mais le temps, les mouvements de terrain ont dénaturé cette solidité.
Si le souterrain de Terre-Noire laisse maintenant filtrer les eaux pluviales, c’est qu’il était sans doute couvert de feuilles sèches et de fumier, comme le rapportent des auteurs anciens parlant (YH : peut-être : il n'y a pas de mention du lieu dans les écrits de Tacite au sujet des souterrains des "Germains", de plus, la région est considérée comme étant la région des Arvernes...) de ces souterrains. Il faut se faire une idée de la vie au grand air de nos ancêtres chasseurs et pêcheurs ; ils n’étaient jamais chez eux, il suffisait que la nuit et au gros de l’hiver les femmes et les enfants fussent en sûreté, la commodité, l’élégance du logis, sa salubrité même étaient choses secondaires. Mais nous faisons nous même toutes réserves à ce sujet, nous bornant à affirmer l’antiquité de ces retraites si bien oubliées des hommes.
L'ascia est un outil gallo-romain en forme de hache, une herminette, un outil à tailler le bois ou à polir la pierre, l'instrument à tout faire du maçon. Cet outil gravé sur la pierre tombale était réputé lui conférer une protection en lui assurant l'inviolabilité.
Le peuple voit des communications fantastiques du souterrain Terre-noire avec les galeries du Châtelard, poste gaulois situé à deux kilomètres de distance... (sans preuve...) "
Ce souterrain fut par la suite rebouché et disparut des mémoires. Si la grange existe toujours, le souterrain n'évoquait plus aucun souvenir aux habitants du village, ni à l'ancien propriétaire de la grange, M. Eugène Oblette.
Des souterrains tous très semblables. Tous les souterrains de la Montagne bourbonnaise sont de longueur modeste (entre 20 et 40 m). Ils sont tous situés à une faible profondeur (entre 1m50 et 5m) et creusés dans du schiste ou du "gore" (arène granitique en décomposition), des matériaux qui excluent le creusement de vastes salles ou de larges couloirs. La plupart suivent le schéma de la lettre grecque Φ "phi" avec un vestibule d'entrée, se prolongeant plus ou moins dans l'axe par une galerie, coupant en deux endroits une structure en anneau. On notera que cette 21ème lettre grecque (utilisée aussi auparavant par les minoens de Crète, Santorin et Milos, mais aussi par les Etrusques, puis tardivement par les Coptes).
Dans le système de numération grecque, phi vaut 500 ; par exemple ‹ φʹ › représente le nombre 500. Comme la plupart des autres lettres grecques, le phi est parfois utilisé en dehors de son contexte alphabétique grec dans les sciences. Par exemple, en mathématiques, elle note traditionnellement le nombre d'or (1+√5)/2 (soit environ 1,618). On l'appelle aussi "La Proportion Divine" car si on on mesure notre taille et qu'on divise ce nombre par la mesure du nombril aux pieds, on obtient Phi. On obtient le même résultat si on mesure la taille du haut de l'épaule au plus haut des doigts et qu'on divise ce nombre par la taille du coude au plus haut des doigts...
On accède à ces souterrains par un dénivelé et une entrée non cachée parfois même par un escalier monumental (comme chez Néglot), ce qui exclut toute hypothèse de cache ou de refuge. La plupart semblent avoir été creusés au Haut Moyen Age, à l'aide d'une ascia sorte de hache à tout faire que les gallo-romains utilisaient pour tailler le bois ou creuser dans la pierre tendre. Beaucoup étaient murés à l'entrée (chez Guérande) ou dans la galerie, ce qui tendrait à renforcer l'hypothèse d'un lieu sanctuarisé. L'extrémité de la galerie ou de la "chapelle" possède souvent des alcôves ou des niches. On trouve souvent, au bout de ces galeries, des conduits verticaux de faible diamètre (parfois inachevés) et communiquant avec l'extérieur (aération ? Culte des morts ?).
Une hypothèse fait état que ces souterrains pourraient être des sortes de tombeaux où les habitants du Haut Moyen-Age (Gallo-Romains) déposaient les restes calcinés de leurs défunts dans des urnes funéraires. La crémation était en effet interdite par la religion chrétienne qui s'était implantée d'abord dans les villes et qui préconisait l'inhumation tout en condamnant l'incinération, héritage du paganisme. Mais cette hypothèse, si tentante soit-elle, n'est pas confirmée par des éléments matériels ( ossements calcinés, statuettes, sculptures ou peintures sur les parois). Mais l'Eglise pourrait avoir découvert cette pratique par la suite, et aurait tout nettoyé, ce qui est aussi une possibilité bien sûr...
Ce pourrait être aussi d'antiques sanctuaires en rapport avec le culte des morts, ce qui pourrait expliquer la présence de ces "conduits d'aération" plus ou moins achevés. Dans ce cas, ceux-ci seraient une sorte de passage reliant le monde des morts (souterrain) à celui des vivants (sur la terre). Face à la progression inéluctable de la religion chrétienne durant le haut moyen âge, ce type de sanctuaire aurait disparu. Il aurait survécu sous une autre forme plus "chrétienne" celle-là (l'Eglise a récupéré beaucoup de cultes païens ou antiques à son compte), la lanterne des morts.
La lanterne des morts est un édifice maçonné, de forme variable, souvent élancé généralement creux et surmonté d'un pavillon ajouré, dans lequel au crépuscule, on hissait, souvent avec un système de poulies, une lampe allumée, supposée servir de guide aux défunts.
Mais là où cela se gâte, c'est que certains vestiges tout de même découverts depuis (alors que d'autres découvertes "préhistoriques" sont mentionnées au 19ème siècle), pourraient ramener cette pratique à bien plus anciens que les Gallo-Romains, puisque dans les souterrains de Puyravel, dans des fouilles au Hameau de Chez-Guerrier (Mayet-Montagne), sur le site de Moulin-Piat (à 2km au sud de Glozel, M. René Gattefossé le fouille en 1939. Il y découvre des haches de pierre, deux flêches, des anneaux de schiste brun, certaines de ces pièces sont gravées), dans les souterrains annulaires de Cluzel et de Palissard (des tablettes ou des galets inscrits de signes "glozéliens" ont été découverts en 1928), des artefacts et gravures du néolithiques, préhistoriques donc, ont été trouvés. Certains de ces objets (galets gravés) ont été assimilés aux mêmes trouvés à Glozel. Des analyses faites en 1995 pour tenter de dater plus précisément une partie de ces objets "Glozéliens", dans plusieurs laboratoires, ont donné des résultats disparates et peu concluants : le quartz contenu dans la plupart des objets fausse les données de la thermoluminescence (radioactivité) et, malgré des résultats peu fiables et contradictoires entre les laboratoires (des données donnant -17000 ans en moyenne (comment ? c'est dans le rapport officiel pourtant !) mais s'étalant surtout entre - 600 avant JC et le 17ème siècle, voir même le 20ème siècle pour certains objets douteux), une étrange conclusion ramenait le tout au Moyen-âge, peut-être "Haut" (Gallo-Romain) pour certains objets, mais plutôt 13ème siècle pour l'essentiel... tout simplement parce, depuis le début du 20ème siècle, trop de fouilles avaient "pollué" les lieux et que seuls des traces d'une verrerie datant du moyen-âge avait pu être identifiées avec certitude... : " En effet, sans doute à cause de la très forte radioactivité naturelle de la région, les datations sont extrêmement disparates, et on a du mal à comprendre et à fortiori à expliquer la présence sur le même lieu, d'objets âgés de 17 000 ans, de 5 000 ans, de 2 500 ans, de 1 500 ans, et même du moyen âge ! Reste également l'énigme de l'écriture que l'on retrouve sur des os gravés de 17 000 ans, toujours non déchiffrée (elle l'a été par plusieurs auteurs différents à priori et daterait des Phéniciens selon beaucoup d'entre eux)... (mais cette écriture est ce qui gêne le plus la trame "historique"... même si d'autres écritures similaires semble avoir été découvertes ailleurs dans le monde (Pakistan)). Le compte rendu de 1995 est incomplet et ambigu : les seuls vestiges archéologiques du site sont les restants d'un artisanat de verrerie qui date du Moyen Âge. Aucun objet de type « glozélien » n'y a été découvert lors de ces fouilles de 1995 (!) "
On se rappellera bien sûr que les datations d'avant le 21ème siècle (recalibration du carbone 14 en 2004) ne peuvent plus être considérées comme fiables de toute façon... Il faudrait tout redater, et comme on le fait maintenant, avec l'aide d'au moins trois méthodes différentes...
Mais même s'il y a un possible lien entre Glozel et les souterrains annulaires (puisque, finalement, il n'y a pas qu'à Glozel que des objets "glozéliens" ont été découverts !), revenons sur ces derniers, voilà plusieurs plans et schémas de ces cavités, établis par plusieurs chercheurs dont les noms sont sités plus haut ou par la suite... :
Anneau Birat (commune de Châtel Montagne) découvert en 1952, suite à l'effondrement de la voûte lors du passage d'une vache. Allée rectiligne de 13 m , demi-cercle de 18 m , 1m65 de haut, restes d'un muret de pierres sèches vers le fond
Chez Frobert (commune de Châtel Montagne) découvert sous un bâtiment. La partie rectiligne mesure environ 8m, l'anneau 13m50, les 2 extrémités, remblais et effondrement) n'ont pas été explorées.. Ont été trouvés quelques tessons de poterie et un liard de 1694 (!)
Anneau de Guérande (commune d'Arfeuilles) découvert en 1958, lors d'un labour. La véritable entrée était toujours murée. Les tessons retrouvés datent du Vème au IXème siècle (Gallo-Romain-Mérovée-Charlemagne). Allée rectiligne de 15 m débouchant sur une salle (la chapelle ?) avec 2 pierres d'autel de chaque côté).
Anneau de Puyravel (Mayet de Montagne) découvert lors de labours en 1928. galerie de 16 m de circonférence. Restes de poteries, galet gravé et outil en pierre de l'époque préhistorique (néolithique + "Glozélien")
Chez Néglot (commune du Breuil) exploré dès 1875 par Noëlas, comblé en grande partie. Anneau de 12 m. menant à une "chapelle" avec conduit extérieur, escalier d'accès monumental, mais accès fermé par d'énormes blocs de granit. Ces blocs de granit, extraits d'une carrière distante de 8 km, verrouillaient l'entrée (similitude avec les différents murets des autres souterrains qui interdisaient l'accès)
A gauche, Couloir annulaire d'un souterrain annulaire creusé sous une église dans les Deux-Sèvres (France) (YH : ou c'est l'église qui a été construite sur le souterrain !). A droite, Arfeuilles, photo de souterrain annulaire
Arfeuilles, photo de l'entrée bouchée du souterrain annulaire du Bois-Barret
Pour compléter un peu plus cette compilation de données sur les anneaux souterrains, voici un extrait d'un livre ("lieux mystérieux") d'un chercheur local (qui était considéré comme beaucoup il est vrai comme un "mystique", mi-voyant mi-esotériste (il a fait des prophéties de son vivant, dont certaines se sont réalisées)), un auvergnat donc, nommé Pierre Frobert (déjà cité dans les articles consacrés au monument très ancien (celte ou encore plus ancien) "Pierre Ginish" du Puy de Montencel, point culminant de la Montagne Bourbonnaise), et qui a donné sa propre hypothèse, évidemment l'une des plus étranges de toutes les hypothèses, mais qu'il argumente d'une façon assez intéressante quand on se penche et étudie toutes les données concernant nos ancêtres qui ont passé beaucoup de temps et d'efforts sur le transport (sur des kilomètres et avec peu de moyens) et l'élévation de pierres levées (menhirs, dolmens, cairns) et monuments parfois gigantesques, y compris parfois tout en haut de certaines montagnes... : " Les étranges souterrains d'Arfeuilles "
" Le territoire de la commune d'Arfeuilles recèle plus du tiers des souterrains de la Montagne Bourbonnaise; Notons plusieurs faits importants : il n 'y a pas d'aération ou si peu que personne ne pouvait les utiliser comme refuge; ils sont inutilisables; on ne peut rien entasser sans boucher le passage. Ce ne sont pas des lieux de culte : Il y a un souterrain tous les 300 mètres à Arfeuilles. (YH : notons au passage que le nom d'Arfeuilles prendrait ses racines (celtes et latines) dans "Fouilles profondes"), Les noms d’Arfeuilles et Arpheuilles pourraient provenir aussi du verbe latin « fodiculare », signifiant fouiller, creuser. Cette étymologie situerait donc effectivement la création de ces souterrains à une époque lointaine de toute façon (cf. Maurice Piboule,Mémoire des communes de l’Allier : La Combraille, 1988). "M. DAUZAT, dans son dictionnaire des noms de lieux, pense (avec d'autres auteurs de dictionnaires similaires) que ce “feuilles“ serait un hybride Gallo-Latin de “fodiculare“, fouiller. Quant à la signification du préfixe “Ar“, elle laisse perplexe la plupart des linguistes. Une interprétation récente a été donnée en 1988 par M. FROMAGE, professeur de lettres anciennes et président de la Société Française de Mythologie, lors du congrès mondial sur les souterrains, qui s'était tenu à Arfeuilles cette année là. Pour lui, le “Ar “ proviendrait d'une déformation de prononciation du “Al “ de “alto“ qui signifie aussi bien profond qu’élevé. Cette interprétation est imaginée par M. DAUZAT et d'autres auteurs à propos de noms de lieux autres qu'Arfeuilles. Si cette interprétation est valable en ce qui nous concerne, “Arfeuilles“ signifierait “fouilles profondes“ ou encore “ le pays des fouilles profondes“. Or M. DAUZAT signale la présence de souterrains à proximité de la plupart des Arfeuilles ou Hautefeuilles. On a une explication qui tient debout, quant on sait qu'ici les souterrains annulaires atteignent une densité que, jusqu'à présent, on n'a jamais rencontrée ailleurs".
Des dépots d'urnes ? Cette hypothèse avait été avancée par le docteur Chabrol. C'est bien improbable (YH : aucune preuve n'est jamais venue l'étayer en tout cas).
D'après les recherches que j'ai effectuées en Bretagne et dans d'autres lieux, j'ai remarqué que tous ces souterrains présentent un plan particulier, à savoir un couloir généralement petit débouchant sur une salle ou plusieurs salles de formes circulaires. En Bretagne on a élevé des Cairns, sorte de pyramides à étages, tout simplement parce qu'il n'y avait pas de montagnes or dans notre région (Auvergne), tous les sommets alentours présentent des amas de rochers placés volontairement ou des murs ceinturent un sommet. La concentration de ces souterrains n'est pas un hasard si l'on étudie la nature du sous-sol et les courants telluriques.
LA SCIENCE DES ATLANTES
Il existe sous la terre des courants de forces tout comme l'être humain possède un système nerveux électrique. Il est admis aussi que la foudre sort de la terre avant son échange avec les forces célestes. Or la foudre est toujours au croisement de lignes de force tellurique. Il y a donc des points d'émissions puissants et c'est sur ces points d"émissions que nos ancêtres ont creusé les montagnes, ou ont fabriqué des capteurs artificiels tumulus avec salle intérieure. Pour diriger cette force ils ont à certains endroits placés sous terre des capteurs directionnels de différents modèles.
Ce sont nos fameux souterrains aux formes étranges creusés en forme de voûte. Selon l'intensité de la force l"entrée qui est en réalité une sortie, était plus ou moins haute et était dirigée soit sur une file de menhirs - les condensateurs - ou plusieurs files de menhirs avec dolmens (prise de courant) soit sur des lignes naturelles (les autres nerfs de la terre) l'épine de certaines montagnes, le cours de certaines rivières, etc...
Nous avons une preuve éclatante de la domestication de cette énergie gravée sur les pierres du tumulus de Gravinis en Bretaqne. Cette énergie pouvait être décuplée par du quartz.
Sur la terre il existe de semblables systèmes de domestication des forces telluriques. Pour quoi faire me direz-vous : C'est ici que la réalité dépasse la fiction : Les Atlantes avaient des colonies sur toute la terre.
Les Atlantes connaissaient en des temps préhistoriques la radio, la télévision, l'énergie atomique, le laser et leurs vaisseaux aériens suivaient ces lignes de force telluriques, ces lignes servaient aussi à la fertilisation des terres, à envoyer des messages à distance et bien d'autres choses encore. A une période de leur histoire qui se situe vers 12500 avant le Christ, les Atlantes firent un mauvais usage de leurs découvertes et causèrent leur propre perte car ils ont mis au point des instruments qui mettaient en mouvement les feux du centre de la terre ainsi transformés en force destructrices. Les Atlantes s'étaient rendus maîtres d'une source d'énergie fabuleuse, les rayons du soleil amplifiés par des cristaux, l'inversement de ces forces a provoqué la destruction de leur continent.
Bien des gens ont du mal à croire à l'existence d'une civilisation avancée comme L'Atlantide et qu'elle ait pu disparaître sans laisser de traces, et pourtant ces traces existent.
Réfléchissez à ceci, il y a moins d'un siècle seuls les auteurs de science-fiction pouvaient songer à des choses comme la télévision, les sous-marins atomiques, la bombe à hydrogène. En moins de 50 ans, des nations ont disparu dans le chaos de deux guerres mondiales et d'autres ont été fondées. Regardez à quel point notre civilisation actuelle est tributaire des communications, des transports, de l'énergie électrique et il est facile d'imaginer qu'une guerre atomique, si elle ne détruit pas complètement l'humanité, puisse renvoyer l'homme à l'âge de pierre.
Que resterait il de notre superbe civilisation dans 5000 ans ? "

Autres souterrains annulaires dont on connaît l'existence :
Deux auteurs Francis Pérot (en 1884) et Adrien Blanchet (en 1927) signalent tous deux la présence d'un second souterrain annulaire à Laprugne, au "Chatelard". D'après Pérot: " La confection de la route de Laprugne à la Loge des Gardes a mis à découvert un souterrain dont on voit nettement la section et la forme au Chatelard. Les deux ouvertures qui se voyaient dans la tranchée de la route ont été maçonnées avant qu'il n'ait été exploré. Sa hauteur est de 1m30 et sa largeur 0m80 ". Et d'après l'inventaire de Blanchet: " Le Chatelard: souterrain dont les 2 parties découvertes ont été murées. Hauteur: 1m20; largeur: 0m70; voûte cintrée en anse de panier ".
Au hameau de Lareure, Jean Robert Perard, un agriculteur natif d'Arfeuilles a visité deux souterrains, un ouvert par le godet d'une pelleteuse qui réalisait le terrassement de son hangar et un autre découvert par des débardeurs dans le bois du Rez des Écoliers. Mais les deux sont bouchés depuis. Question de sécurité. L'agriculteur, qui a les yeux qui brillent lorsqu'il raconte sa visite du souterrain des Écoliers, se souvient de sa première visite et de l'état de quiétude qu'il a ressenti sous la terre. Il se souvient aussi de sa dernière visite avec des cameramen américains « qui ont failli y passer car il n'y avait plus d'oxygène dans le boyau. Trop de monde sans doute »...

Auvergne, France, les mystérieux souterrains annulaires - PART II
Peu connu de la plupart des habitants de notre région, les souterrains annulaires sont extrêmement nombreux sur notre territoire : montagne thiernoise, bois noirs, monts du bourbonnais… Aujourd’hui encore l’énigme de leur utilisation reste entière malgré les efforts de recherche des sociétés archéologiques locales et de la Société Française d’Étude des Souterrains. Hugues Dourvert découvreur et spécialiste de ces structures souterraines nous entraine dans ses visites et nous donne quelques explications sur ces lieux mystérieux...

Neil deGrasse Tyson Says Aliens Might Find Humans Too Stupid To Contact (VIDEO)
And then there’s the possibility that intelligent aliens might not simply ignore us but might harm us, just as humans sometimes harm what we consider lesser forms of life. As Tyson went on to say in the interview, “You don’t walk by the worm on the street and say, ‘Gee, I wonder what he’s thinking.’ No, you step on the worm.”
Yikes.
Tyson — director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City and host of the radio program “Star Talk“ — has said previously that, given the size of the universe, it would be surprising if no other intelligent life forms existed. In his book Death By Black Hole, Tyson wrote, “to declare that Earth must be the only planet with life in the universe would be inexcusably bigheaded of us.”
Some scientists, including Stephen Hawking, have said that humans would be smart to remain wary of extraterrestrial life. In 2010 Hawking opined that aliens might be “looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.”
But Tyson has a different take.
“Hawking is all worried that aliens might suck our brains out,” Tyson said in the interview. “That concern comes from when any of us explored the world … and came upon a civilization less advanced, it was bad for the less-advanced civilization. They either were completely wiped out, or subjugated, or enslaved. … So I think his fear about aliens is a reflection of his actual knowledge about how humans treat each other, not real knowledge about how actual aliens would treat us.”
Another possibility is that aliens have already visited us and gone unnoticed. As Tyson joked in the interview, “[M]aybe they have visited us in Times Square but no one noticed, because everybody who hangs out in Times Square is a little crazy.”

There is More Than One Area 51 — Secret Under-Ocean Military Bases
There is More Than One Area 51 — Secret Under-Ocean Military Bases
“It is ironic that the U.S. would begin a devastating war, allegedly in search of weapons of mass destruction, when the most worrisome developments in this field are occurring in your own backyard.
“It is ironic that the U.S. should be fighting monstrously expensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy, when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on projects about which both the Congress and the Commander in Chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” – Paul Hellyer (Former Canadian Defence Minister)
In was only three years ago (2013) that the Central Intelligence Agency finally admitted to the existence of Area 51. Although it didn’t ‘officially’ exist before the CIA made this admission, it was pretty clear that something secretive was going on in the Nevada desert.
That secretive something would be the testing of secret aircraft and technology that the public has absolutely no idea about. Take for example the U.S. air strike against Libya in 1996. An f-111 jet was used, which had been operational since 1983, but its existence was still kept secret for a number of years after.
These programs are referred to as Special Access Programs (SAP), and they are funded from what’s known as the ‘Black Budget.‘ From these we have unacknowledged and waived SAPs. These programs do not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. They are better known as ‘deep black programs.’
A 1997 US Senate report described them as “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.”
It’s also important to mention that the United States has a history of government agencies existing in secret.
The National Security Agency (NSA) was founded in 1952 but its existence was hidden until the mid 1960’s. Even more secretive is the National Reconnaissance Office, which was founded in 1960 but remained completely concealed for 30 years.
Under-Ocean & In Bottom Military Bases
Research into and discussions of under-ocean and in-bottom military bases began decades ago. For example, in 1968 the Stanford Research Institute discussed the construction of dozens of undersea bases. The study was titled “Feasibility of Manned In-Botton Bases.”
It’s important to show you the abstract here, because it clearly reveals what the military-industrial complex was considering, and what they could do within their technological reach at the time — more than four decades ago.
*I obtained this abstract from the source listed below, if you would like to see it yourself, you can find it here.
Abstract:
The construction of thirty manned in-bottom bases within the ocean floors is technically and economically feasible. However, it will be necessary to establish some successive types of experimental facilities before a full construction program can be started. This could take 15 years.
The major technology for a land-linked station in-bottom is established now; only adaptations are needed. The remaining experimental phases will require further development of equipment and techniques applicable to remote sea access. There are useful assignments for a succession of three experimental stations other than advancing in-bottom construction techniques.
Science and engineering concerned with the oceans and their resources will be furthered and military tests of undersea base functions complimenting deeper operations can be accomplished. The costs of the experimental phase, called here a demonstration program, can be surprisingly modest: approximately one half-billion dollars, spent over 15 years.
A distinction between in-bottom bases and on-bottom facilities is made in the numbers of men enclosed. and the depth of water, wherein areas of one-atmosphere space can be created in-bottom, and on-bottom facilities is made in the numbers of men enclosed and the depth of water, wherein areas of one atmosphere space can be created in-bottom at such low costs the ingress system can be amortized if the space required is reasonably large.
Economics thus can dictate choice between the two types; even so, some on-bottom facilities will be needed to aid the construction of remote in-bottom facilities.
Presently, establishing an in-bottom facility and building upon this will present fewer technical difficulties that do the submersibles which would support it and use it. Subsequent to the completion of the third phase of a demonstration program, which would be a remote, deep water station, and the evaluation of it, a multiple base program, could be implemented.
The cost of such a base program would be about $2.7 billion for construction of a number of bases (assumed at 30).
So, do these bases exist today without question? I think they do, just like Area 51 existed without question.
In 1987 Deputy Director of Engineering and Construction for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lloyd A. Duscha, gave a speech at an engineering conference titled “Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons.” In the first paragraph of his speech he states the following:
“After World War II, political and economic factors changed the underground construction picture and caused a renewed interest to 'think underground.' As a result of this interest, the Corps of Engineers became involved in the design and construction of some very complex and interesting military projects.
“Although the conference program indicates the topic to be “Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons,” I must deviate a little because several of the most interesting facilities that have been designed and constructed by the Corps are classified. — (Lloyd A. Duscha, “Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons,” in Tunneling and Underground Transport: Future Developments in Technology. Economics and Policy, ed. F.P. Davidson (New York: Elsevier Science Publishing Company, Inc., 1987, pp. 109-113.)
He then went into a discussion of the Corps’ involvement in the 1960’s in the construction of the large and elaborate NORAD base buried deep beneath Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. This is just a public statement, but you will not find a more significant public admission of secret, underground bases than this one.
Such speeches are not the only evidence available, however. There also exist documents obtained by researchers through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that shed more light on the subject, and clearly outline plans for the contraction of underground facilities.
Another great example of in-bottom bases deep underneath the ocean floor comes from William B. McLean, who was the inventor of the Sidewinder air-to-air missile and former Technical Director of the China Lake Naval Naval Ordnance Test Center (NOTS). He was also the Technical Director of the U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center in San Diego.
McLean made some comments to John Newbauer, who at the time was the Editor-in-Chief of Astronautics and Aeronautics, stating that these plants and projects were already in development. (“A Bedrock View of Ocean Engineering,” Interview of William B. Mclean by A/A Editor-in-Chief John Newbauer, Astronautics and Aeronautics (April 1969): 30-36.)
This was in 1969, but keep in mind that the abstract above is from 1968, meaning that these constructions could have been under development before, or shortly after this publication.
What Do These Facilities Look Like?
Walter Koerschner, who was an illustrator for the United States Navy’s Rock-site team during the 1960’s, contacted Richard Sauder, Ph.D, who has researched this topic extensively. This was at the time when the Navy had plans for technically complex and very large buried manned bases beneath the ocean floor.
His background is verified, documents like this, or a simple google search of Waters name along side “US Navy” or “US Navy Illustrator” would suffice.
He contacted Dr. Sauder to provide him with some of the original illustrations he had done for this project, and they are very telling.
Dr. Sauder, in his book Hidden In Plain Sight, provides these illustrations and goes into detailing regarding the science and engineering behind these projects. It is quite fascinating and I recommend you check him out if you are interested in learning more.
Here is an excerpt and picture from the book:
This ‘racetrack’ facility – also called the ‘Nautilus Concept’ – that can dock three submarines at a time, with an adjoining sister facility that also can handle multiple submarines.
The picture is virtually self-explanatory. Large submarines are hundreds of feet long, so the dimensions of a facility such as shown here would have to be very large. The central docking area might be more than a thousand feet long and easily more than a hundred feet in diameter. The living quarters would obviously have to accommodate hundreds of crew members in some degree of creature comfort.
The book has many other illustrations from Koerschner, but unfortunately I cannot seem to find any more online.
It Doesn’t End With Area 51
There are also known underground facilities in existence. Take for example the Swedish underground military facility at Musko.
It’s a large naval base built underneath a mountain. The hospital alone within this facility holds over 1,000 beds. Musko engineers blasted out 1,500,000 cubic meters of stone in order to build it
The world’s most prominent researcher on Underground Military Facilities (in my opinion), Richard Sauder, Ph.D, told of an interesting story in his book Hidden In Plain Sight that I’d like to share with you:
As it happens, after giving a public talk a couple of years ago, I was approached by a man who had been a uniformed member of the United States Navy. We chatted for a while and when he mentioned that he had spent some time at China Lake my ears perked up.
I asked him if there was an underground facility at China Lake. He said that indeed there is, and that it is impressively large and deep. I asked him if he had ever been in it, and he said that he had, though not to the deepest levels. I asked him how deep the deepest part extended.
He looked at me soberly and said very quietly, “It goes one mile deep.”
I then asked him what the underground base contains. He replied, ‘Weapons.’ I responded, “What sort of weaponry?”
And he answered without pausing, “Weapons more powerful than nuclear weapons.”
There are documents available which expose a deep underground command center that was to be built far below regions such as Washington, D.C. and China Lake, California during the Cold War.
Documents show that in 1964 the military was considering building a huge underground cavity 4,000 feet deep beneath China Lake, and it’s well known that the United States and the Soviet Union created a vast infrastructure to support a complex of offensive and defensive weapons during the Cold War.
This infrastructure included sites and facilities for developing, testing, storing, and manufacturing weapons. There was also a host of communication and command centres.
The very first TOP SECRET memo on the subject was issued by Robert McNamara on November 7th, 1963 from the office of the Secretary of Defense. A second memo was issued on the same day concerning a proposed Deep Underground National Command Center that would be approximately 3,500 feet beneath Washington.
The memo also mentioned elevator shafts below the State Department and White House that would descend to 3,500 feet, with high speed, horizontal tunnel transport to the main facility. And this was way back in the 60’s. Imagine what technological feats we are capable of now.
Scientists were able to grow living bones from pigs in the laboratory. Clinical trial will begin soon.
WORK OF ART
Scientists were able to grow and sculpt miniature pig bones to be used as replacement for missing anatomical structures. It was used to repair a pig’s lower jaw, one of the strongest and most complex bones in the face. This means that bone repairs may be done in the other parts of the body.
Bones differ in shape making it hard to find matching replacements from an injured patient’s own body. Titanium is sometimes used but such artificial replacements lack bone marrow, which performs important roles in the body. Patients can opt to receive donated bones but it is prone to tissue rejection. Also, harvesting bones from another part of the body may cause major damage and extreme pain.
This made doctors hope for bones grown in the lab. Researchers focused on the ramus-condyle unit, the part where the mandible meets the skull near the ear, the part of the face that mainly bears weight. They experimented on Yucatán minipigs for they have similar jaw anatomy and mechanics to humans.
LET IT GROW
They first took portions of cow thigh bones and removed all of the cells then carved perfect fits for ramus-condyle units that were removed from the pigs. They then seeded these with stem cells from the receiver minipigs. The implants were then placed in a bioreactor where oxygen and nutrients were supplied. It took three weeks for the stem cells to develop into immature living bone.

Six months after implantation, the grafts incorporated themselves successfully into the pigs’ jaws without any problems. The pigs were able to use their jaws again. The clinical trial for the implants will be conducted through the company epiBone.
Scientists from MIT confirm that the hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica has shrunken by about 4 million square kilometers. This proves that the worldwide boycott of CFCs is yielding positive results, seen almost 30 years after the Montreal Protocol of 1987.
PROTECTING THE PROTECTOR
The Montreal Protocol of 1987 called upon the world to control the production and use of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in order to protect the ozone layer—which is our very own protection from high levels of ultraviolet rays from the sun.
“We can now be confident that the things we’ve done have put the planet on a path to heal,” said MIT lead researcher Susan Solomon, who also happens to be the first to distinguish the conditions of temperature and sunlight under which chlorine could eat away at the ozone layer, back in 1986.
They found evidence that the September ozone hole has shrunken by over 4 million square kilometers since. The world’s efforts to reverse the damage are showing promising results, and that is despite some setbacks caused by sulfur dioxide from volcanic eruptions.
In 2015, the hole reached a record size, which had scientists puzzled. This paper analyzed and made sense of the factors that contributed to that incident.
“Why I like this paper so much is, nature threw us a curveball in 2015,” says Ross Salawitch, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Maryland. “People thought we set a record for the depth of the ozone hole in October 2015. The Solomon paper explains it was due to a specific volcanic eruption. So without this paper, if all we had was the data, we would be scratching our heads — what was going on in 2015?”
The team measured “fingerprints” and found a substantial decline in atmospheric chlorine from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are ozone-depleting substances emitted through old dry cleaning methods, refrigerators, and aerosols.
“It showed we can actually see a chemical fingerprint, which is sensitive to the levels of chlorine, finally emerging as a sign of recovery,” said one of the researchers, Diane Ivy.
NOT A TIME FOR COMPLACENCY
“This is a reminder that when the world gets together, we really can solve environmental problems,” Solomon said. “I think we should all congratulate ourselves on a job well done.”
The hole is estimated to be completely and permanently closed by 2050, provided the world keeps progress steady.
A study published in Nature presents one of the most complete models of matter in the universe, and predicts hundreds of massive black hole mergers each year observable using the second generation of gravitational wave detectors. The model anticipated the massive black holes observed by the LIGO.
MASSIVE DISCOVERY
A study published in Nature showcases one of the most complete models of matter in the universe. It also predicts hundreds of black hole mergers annually that can be observed with the second generation of gravitational wave detectors.
Huge stars that collapse upon themselves and end up as black holes are extremely rare. These primitive stars, that came from the early universe, occur in special configurations in the universe and are made of more pristine hydrogen. On the contrary, younger stars consumed the remains of their predecessors containing heavy elements which resulted to their stunted growth.
Richard O’Shaughnessy, an assistant professor at Rochester Institute of Technology’s (RIT) School of Mathematical Science, and his colleagues predict that huge black holes like these spin in a stable fashion with their orbits remaining in the same plane. The model shows that these black holes’ alignment are not affected by the tiny kicks that occur after the stars’ core collapse. This same kick can cause the alignment of smaller black holes and can disturb their orbital plane.
STELLAR PERFORMANCE
According to O’Shaughnessy, the calculations presented in Nature are the most detailed of its kind. Other astronomers are now using the model in their own investigations.
“We feel like parents of a beautiful daughter called gravitational wave astronomy born a few months ago and seeing her grow more gorgeous by the day,” said Carlos Lousto, a professor in RIT’s School of Mathematical Science.
Here is a great video that discusses loads of strange and exciting discoveries made over the years on Google Earth map. Remember the map is free to download on any computer, so its an awesome tool to search for things in places you never dreamed about going too.
Stop by SecureTeam10 and give them a big thumbs up on this video. UFO researchers get so little encouragement, so every little bit really counts. Awesome video, and the anomalies and UFOs really give us a load to think about.
Do remember, that I have made videos of over 10 UFO discoveries I made on Google Earth, most have been deleted within 6 months after publish the news about them.
Here is a video of the UFO at Cape of Good Hope, Africa On 2011, Sorry No Audio...but its my account, my video I personally made. It was deleted by Google within 3 months after I made the video. SCW
China Will Soon Contact Aliens, Almost Finished With The World Biggest Radio Telescope, July 2016, UFO Sighting News.
China Will Soon Contact Aliens, Almost Finished With The World Biggest Radio Telescope, July 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Location of radio telescope: China News source:
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/07/china-puts-final-touches-world-largest-telescope-160703080236077.html In America, and around the world radio telescopes are being used to see and hear possible signals of alien life from across the universe. However there is another use, one that you might not be aware of. A radio telescope can send a message through spaces at the speed of light across the universe. China now has what it needs to make direct contact with aliens, gain their technology, and make friends with a very powerful off world species. Now you know the true reason why China was in a rush to build this. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Aljazeera News States: China has put the final piece of what is set to be the world's largest radio telescope in place, state media have reported. The "Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope", or FAST, is the size of 30 football fields and has been hewn out of a mountain in the southwestern province of Guizhou. "The project has the potential to search for more strange objects to better understand the origin of the universe and boost the global hunt for extraterrestrial life," Zheng Xiaonian, deputy head of the National Astronomical Observation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which built the telescope, said on Sunday. The $180m radio telescope would be a global leader for the next one to two decades, Xiaonian was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua news agency. A number of trials will follow the hoisting of the final piece on Sunday. The telescope, which took about five years to build, is expected to begin operations in September. China's space programme has been a priority, with President Xi Jinping calling for the country to establish itself as a space power. Beijing's ambitions include putting a man on the Moon by 2036 and building a space station - work on which has already begun. China insists its programme is for peaceful purposes, but the US defense department has highlighted Beijing's increasing space capabilities, saying it is pursuing activities aimed to prevent adversaries from using space-based assets in a crisis.
Russian Ufologist/Biologist Spotted Saucer Landed in 1980
Russian Ufologist/Biologist Spotted Saucer Landed in 1980
Although the leaders of the former Soviet Union did not allow citizens to speak about UFOs, there have been significant UFO cases being surfaced since then it fell. It was during a 1980 expedition when people saw a bizarre disc that landed on a 90-meter-deep lake bottom. As one of Russia’s most notable specialists in the investigation of unidentified flying objects,Valery Dvuzhilny, is a biologist by occupation living in a town of Dalnegorsk 500 kilometers of Vladivostok.
He spent his life investigating the UFOs. In his large apartment. He even created an established that is laboratory equipped with old tools and 1,000 samples of materials, which can be found at the nearby sites. According to him, the space visitors use geological fissures to orientate themselves about the Earth before descending. Dalnegorsk County is believed to be an anomalous zone and is popular for its 14 cave. According to Dvuzhilny, a UFO was observed on January 29, 1986, in the Vysota-611 Mountain nearby Dalnegorsk. Burned fragments found therein revealed the silicon shales and rare-earth metal lanthanum discharging magnetic radiation. Pavel Reshetnikov, the head of the anti-aircraft forces was invited to the conference, in which he participated in 1995, but was prohibited from leaving the country due to his military status. Later on, he confirmed that a mysterious object tracked over the Amur River by the radar in the early 1990s. According to Reshetnikov, it could not be readily identified by the naked eye as either a plane or a missile.
The sample found at the site became subject to numerous scientific tests, which includes isotope analysis. The samples found 50 kilometers away were burned at a temperature beyond 2,000 degrees C. According to Dvuzhilny, comprehensive analysis of the burned metal pieces were influenced by the extraterrestrials. Despite modest laboratory tools, he still lacks funds to complete his scientific activities. However, he is not giving up, in fact, Dvuzhilny is currently preparing an expedition to the Amgu territory.
Mistaken Identity: Ceres' Mysterious Bright Spots Aren't Epsom Salt After All
Mistaken Identity: Ceres' Mysterious Bright Spots Aren't Epsom Salt After All
By Sarah Lewin, Staff Writer
Strange Ceres: New work suggests that surprising carbonate salts put the shine in the bright spots on the dwarf planet's Occator crater. Researchers also found that Ceres' topography, pictured here, is only consistent with a subsurface less than 30-40 percent ice by volume.

It's a case of mistaken identity: The mysterious bright spots on the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres were thought to be composed of hydrated magnesium sulfate (similar to the magnesium sulfate sold as Epsom salt), but new work reveals a different chemical signature in these bright dots, cooked up in watery conditions beneath its crust.
And the revelations don't end there: Another research paper, also published today (June 29), suggests that Ceres' deep craters and jagged mountain mean the crust is mostly rock, rather than mostly ice as previously proposed.
The dwarf planet, orbiting in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, seems to bridge the gap between smaller asteroids, rocky planets like Earth and Mars, and the big icy bodies farther out, like the moons of Saturn — its shell is more rocky than icy, but it hosts unexpected chemistry that bears a resemblance to the reactions that develop on Earth, and salts that form in the ultracold conditions of the far solar system. It also hosts the most concentrated surface deposit of the substance sodium carbonate ever seen beyond Earth. [Photos: Dwarf Planet Ceres, the Solar System's Largest Asteroid]
Ceres resides in the asteroid belt, but it dwarfs the other asteroids there at 590 miles (950 kilometers) wide and is an even sphere; it even takes up an estimated third of all the asteroid belt's mass, researchers said. Reserachers believe it could be a planetary embryo — a protoplanet that would have eventually turned into a planet like Earth or Mars under different circumstances. It is the only dwarf planet found closer in than the Kuiper belt, on the solar system's outer edges with Pluto.
The bottom of Ceres' Occator crater shines with bright, reflective patches — the brightest region among those that puzzled and intrigued scientists as the Dawn spacecraft first approached Ceres and then entered orbit in 2015 (after orbiting another asteroid, Vesta, in 2011 and 2012). Eventually 130 bright patches were found on the dwarf planet's dark surface, mostly associated with craters. While researchers first suspected the bright spots might be ice, a closer look revealed they weren't quite that reflective and that they could be composed of salts instead. But the particular salt revealed in this study, published in Nature, by Dawn's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer would have formed in a process involving liquid water.
"That was something we had not expected," Chris Russell, Dawn's principal investigator and planetary scientist at University of California, Los Angeles, told Space.com. "The carbonates are a very strong indication of the processes now that we believe took place in the interior, that makes it more Earthlike, when it can alter the chemistry inside."
"It's not something that's just lying around out there in space," he added.
Craters like Occator gave the lead author of the Nature Geoscience paper, Michael Bland, something to ponder as well. He calculated that if Ceres' subsurface was more than a certain percentage of ice, it would have a much more "relaxed" appearance, created as the ice warmed over time, instead of the harsh topography actually seen. Rather than a thick layer that's mostly made of ice, the researchers found, the dwarf planet's subsurface must be only 30-40 percent ice, mixed in with rock and a lower-density material, maybe hydrated salts.
Measurements from Dawn are superimposed on a view of Ceres' Occator crater. The red indicates a high abundance of carbonates in the bright spots found there.

An active world
The composition of the salts found in the crater's bright spots suggests that they formed with the help of liquid water, which would freeze in its pure form but could persist when mixed with salts, which slightly lowers its freezing point. (Water mixed with a different salt is proposed to flow on the surface of Mars.) On Ceres, that water would have emerged from deeper within the dwarf planet, where it could be warmer, or melted at the site of the impact that produced the Occator crater.
"The composition that we found implied that liquid water was present sometime in the recent past of Ceres in the subsurface," Maria Cristina De Sanctis, lead author on the Nature paper and researcher at the Institute for Space Astrophysics and Planetology at the National Institute for Astrophysics in Rome, told Space.com. And the particular salt formed is sodium carbonate, a salt formed from carbon that, on Earth, usually forms as water evaporates from a body of water like a lake or in hot springs. The compounds have been detected off of Earth only in the plumes of material that burst out of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus (they also found ammonia-bearing salts in the mix, also found on Enceladus).
"In the case of Ceres, we have a lot of carbonates — really a huge amount," De Sanctis said. "We did not expect to have such a huge amount of carbonates."
By analyzing the composition of the salts that spot the dwarf planet's surface, De Sanctis said, researchers can learn more about the conditions inside the planet. And a big question is whether liquid water persists below the planet's thick, rocky surface, or whether it was merely present or generated when the crater formed, around 80 million years ago. (Even though the surface layers are not mostly icy, they would have had enough to let the reaction work.)
Strange Ceres
Moving outward in the solar system, objects become colder and wetter, made more of ice than of rock. Ceres is rocky, but the composition of the salts, including ammonia-bearing salts which require super cold conditions to form, has more in common with those outer solar system bodies.
That's a "strange connection" with the outer solar system, Mikhail Zolotov, a researcher at Arizona State University and author of a News & Views article on the new works, which appears in Nature Geoscience, told Space.com.
"The chemistry is unusual, and it's key to understand how the body was formed and how it was evolved," he said.
It raises the question, Zolotov and Russell both said, of whether the material that eventually formed Ceres might have migrated inward from the outer solar system at some point, or whether Ceres formed where it currently orbits.
The story of Ceres' water is far from complete, as well — Russell mentioned that other papers from the Dawn team are in the works that describe how researchers can investigate water on the dwarf planet's surface. "Expect the water story to continue for some period of time, because there's a lot of different ways we can explore water."
Going forward, the researchers said, they will have to check the composition of other bright spots on Ceres to see if the chemical process they've observed is restricted to certain regions or if it's more global. But regardless, the asteroid belt outcast continues to prove a complex, active world.
"The IAU [International Astronomical Union] has defined what a planet is in a particular way," Russell said, "but I think of a planet more as a body which, when it's big enough and has enough activity … is now making things, producing things in its interior that are not just sitting there for the eons but in fact that the body evolves with time inside."
The work in Nature about the bright spots' composition can be found here, and the work in Nature Geoscience about the subsurface composition can be found here.

Filer’s Files #27 -2016 Ancient Aliens are Here - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Viggiani Claims NORAD Intercepts UFOs, Ancient Alien Craft Encounters Documented, Star Wars Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, Letter from ET Contactee, and Mars: Ancient Seam Between Rocks Found, Proof Of Ancient Civilizations On Mars
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Bosnia, Canada, Mexico, Portugal, 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.

Special Reports
Viggiani Claims NORAD Intercepts UFOs
Canadian disclosure advocate Victor Viggiani has made a bold step towards the disclosure we all dream about by releasing several secret files from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Runic Archives. “And I dare the US Government to charge me,” Viggiani said.
This past weekend has seen Canada’s first public hearing on UFOs take place. ET disclosure was once again brought to the discussion table and this time around, some intriguing documents were released.
A recently-retired school principal from Toronto, Victor Viggiani has been researching Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) for over three decades. When it comes to experience in the area of UFO sightings and anomalous phenomena, he has plenty to go around. Last Saturday, at the Alien Cosmic Expo in Ontario, Canada, Viggiani presented 11 documents that he obtained after filing a Canadian Access of Information Act (AIA) request. The documents reveal some unsettling statistics about what goes on in the sky above our heads.
I have here in front of me eleven documents. I call them the RUNIC Files and they are directly from NORAD indicating that over the last five years an average of 1,800 ‘tracks of interest’ with 75 intercepts. This is directly from the commander of NORAD.”
F-22s Intercept 75 UFOs
Mind-blowing. The US-Canadian organization tasked with providing aerospace warning and defense for Northern America intercepts and engages 75 unidentified flying objects per year. This means that the jet fighter pilots manage to get close enough to the UFOs to not only establish visual contact, but also get a target lock. Maybe not all of these encounters feature extraterrestrial airships as primary suspects, but it’s still enough to confirm our suspicions. And remember, this is the number of tracks of interest (TOIs) NORAD officials were willing to disclose. The real number of intercepts could be in the thousands and we wouldn’t even know. Viggiani’s AIA request was aiming for more complete disclosure, a full “Table of Tracks of Interest” if you will. This was the official NORAD response:
“The request for “Table of Tracks of Interest (TOI) are classified UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO). It is to be controlled, stored, handled, transmitted, distributed and disposed of in accordance with DOD policy relating to FOUO information and is not to be released to the public, the media or other personnel who do not have a valid need-to-know without prior approval of an authorized NORAD official.”
The document continues with:
“However, the NORAD Commander has approved the release of the following information regarding Tracks of Interest and Unknown Tracks.”
The document that lists the TOIs is a six page record (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) in list form, with some of the entries redacted, on account of the sensitive nature of the information they contained. As Viggiani points out, the “missing information is obviously what they saw when they intercepted.”
He continues:
“I also have documents relating to UFOs that have been found by the RCMP. I also have an air traffic control report that references Mr. Hellyer’s [Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Defense Minister, big proponent of UFO disclosure] indication that two CF-18s chased three UFOs in 2001 out of Comox Air Force Base, at 35,000 feet and gained contact with these UFOs.”
Ancient Alien Craft Encounters Documented
When reading a while back about UFOs it always stuck in my mind that on New Year’s Day in 1254 the monks at St.Albans in England sighted ‘a kind of ship flying’ in the sky that was ‘large, elegantly shaped and of a marvelous color.’ The UFO phenomenon isn’t something new. I thought, for a change therefore, we’d look at a dozen of the UFO visits from the distance past.
.1504 BC: This is probably one of the earliest written accounts of a UFO – the following description is an excerpt from an Egyptian papyrus under the reign of Thutmose III.
.’In the year 22… sixth hour of the day… the scribes of the House of Life found it was a circle of fire that was coming in the sky… it had no head, the breath of its mouth had a foul odor. Its body one rod long and one rod wide. It had no voice… Now after some days had passed, these things became more numerous in the skies than ever.
‘They shone more in the sky than the brightness of the sun and extended to the four supports of the heavens… Powerful was the position of the fire circles… It was after supper. Thereupon these fire circles ascended higher in the sky towards the south… It was ordered by the Pharaoh to be written in the annals of the House of Life… so that it be remembered for ever.
500 BC: In the ancient Indian text Samarangana Sartradhara there is a description of piloted flying machines called vimanas. These were powered by some unknown source and they could ‘carry death’ to anywhere on earth. The tops of many temples have depictions of Vimanas in India.
The tops of many temples have depictions of Vimanas in India.
216 BC: Julius Obsequens wrote in his book Prodigorium liber of how ‘things like ships were seen in the sky over Italy… At Apri a round shield was seen in the sky. At Capua, the sky was on fire, and one saw figures like ships.’
214 BC: This time in Italy at Hadria ‘an altar in the sky’ was seen.
66 AD: The historian Pliny the Elder tells of a big spark as ‘big as the moon’ which fell from the sky – and then returned to the heavens. He also told of how ‘a burning shield scattering sparks ran across the sky at sunset from east to west.’
584: St. Gregory, the bishop of Tours in France, recorded various sightings in his Historia Francorum. ‘There appeared in the sky brilliant rays of light which seemed to cross and collide with one another.’ He also described ‘golden globes’ which flashed at speed across the skies of France.
793: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reports, ‘In this year terrible portents appeared in Northumbria (England) and miserably afflicted the inhabitants. These were exceptional flashing and lightning and fiery dragons seen flying through the air.’
1170: Roger Niger described ‘a wonderfully large dragon’ which was ‘borne up from earth though the air. The air was kindled into fire by its motion and burned a house, reducing it and its outbuildings to ashes.’ This was seen at Osyth, Essex, England.
1180: In Japan something similar to a flying saucer was seen, though they described this as a flying ‘earthenware vessel.’ The object or UFO was heading in a northeast direction from a mountain in the Kii province. This suddenly changed direction and vanished below the horizon, leaving a luminous trail.
1290: The monks at Byland Abbey in Yorkshire spotted a ‘large round silver disk’ passing through the skies.
1561: This time the sighting was in Nuremberg in Germany where it was said that there was ‘a very frightful spectacle.’ During daylight glowing tubes, globes and crosses were seen in the sky and appeared to do battle. This lasted for an hour and some then fell to the earth as ‘if on fire.’
Painting found in Romania
There are many, many other UFO sightings on record from the distant past. We sometimes seem to think of such things as a modern phenomena, probably starting with the Kenneth Arnold flying saucer stories from 1947. But very little in life is actually new – much has already been seen or experienced previously by past generations. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website
Letter from ET Contactee
Alien Invasion Spaceship Attacks Earth
Susan Signal writes, “I sent you a letter about my reaction to the documentary on the Science channel on 6-23-16 entitled ‘Curiosity Alien Invasion: Are We Ready’. It really angered me because it seems that too much propaganda is being peddled on mainstream media against ‘ET aliens’ when ‘we’re’ here helping the planet in every possible way. ‘We’ don’t need this interference brought on by ignorance and greed. It’s definitely being led on by the global elite. “
Documentary Series on Science channel “Curiosity: Alien Invasion: Are We Ready?” Scientists and military strategists discuss what would happen if aliens attack.” Key words here; if aliens attack! First if all it’s put on by the infamous ‘military industrial complex in order to spread their propaganda, fear and demonization of ‘us’ and all who are connected. This makes it even harder for ‘us’ here to live a half way decent life in spite of the ‘ prejudice’ we have to endure at the hands of human society. The likes of: Michio Kaku, Harkeem Oluseyi and other famous science narrators are on this set embellishing their propaganda. Let’s be clear about something that we and others have always known:
There ARE warrior alien races up there (light warriors) that fiercely protect this planet from such invasions—or else it would have happened already ten times over. The fear of nature itself, by stating that birds can be used for vectors in bio warfare-thus causing an all out(potential) hysterical attack on nature and wildlife, the very things that sustain this beautiful planet and its crucial forests.
The scene they show of a mega mother ship docketed in low Earth orbit spewing out spheres for EMP attacks, objects to cause tsunamis being dropped at continental shelves!! Is a fantasy!! It won’t happen! ‘We ‘won’t allow it. Believe me several have tried to invite this system and were met by ‘us’!! We vaporize these incoming ships before they finish their portal transience or D’ materialization. It’s been done at least 3 times.
Look at the asteroids-with reports of UFO’s ‘us’ around them. Ultimately, the asteroids are deflected after ‘close calls’.
The biological attacks were done in the ancient past and targeted hostile human groups like the Roman Empire due to their carnage and destruction of societies, their technologies and knowledge which set mankind back ~5000 years.
Humans destroyed the Library of Alexandria for example. The Barbarians as another-both were spearheaded by the ‘ negative ET tall white and grey scourge’ who bribed the global elite in order to gain control over the human population. The military industrial complex, shadow government (secret space fleet), global elite are all in bed with the negative ET scourge, one other group and the mainstream science-secular education kabala, mainstream media are all controlled by the negative ET scourge. One has to tune into inner self and nature to learn true universal ontological bases of existence and being/identity. ET’s invasion already occurred thousands of year’s ago-according to Sumerian texts and Zachariah Sitchen.
By the way: as part of my ongoing work up there; ‘we’ were–doing work to help this planet (which we love and revere), by deflecting asteroids away and stabilizing the geological faults. We often have fought off negative alien forces. ‘We ‘are the planets defense against asteroids, comets and threatening aliens
Humans often do evil doings against the human race (look at all the experiments conducted on unsuspecting populations such as Plum Island (lime disease), Hanford (dispersal of plutonium over neighborhoods along the Columbia River), etc. To act so vain and say aliens are bad when humans destroy and kill their own kind and this planets environment, is infuriating. Your real enemies are the negative ET tall whites at the helm.
You are not ready for open ‘CONTACT’!! Instead (I’m speaking first hand), you’re slated as sterile and none viable-never to join the Galactic Cosmic Community. There are other planetary races 1/3 of the age of the human race that have already matured enough to join the cosmic community (and started off with allot less than you did and didn’t have as many second chances or had as many teachers and mentors come here to guide you-only to be punished for their devotion)! You’ve sealed your fate. Those few who are aware will be aligned in the cosmic community. Don’t look up asking for contact and then demonize ‘us’ who are here (against our wishes for the mission-to help Earth and are effectively acting as emissaries of our worlds to Earth)
Don’t attack our ships and expect us to constantly exercise restraint. This is blatant diplomatic suicide! Too bad, because this planet is a blue gem that was created by the Orion universal counsels and is on a critical point in the universal harmonic matrix and in a strategic navigational route within the universe.

Star Wars Terminal High Altitude Area Defense
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), formerly Theater High Altitude Area Defense, is aUnited States Army anti-ballistic missile system designed to shoot down short, medium, and intermediateballistic missiles in their terminal phase using a hit-to-kill approach.[2] The missile carries no warhead but relies on the kinetic energy of the impact to destroy the incoming missile. A kinetic energy hit minimizes the risk of exploding conventional warhead ballistic missiles, and nuclear tipped ballistic missiles will not explode upon a kinetic energy hit, although chemical or biological warheads may disintegrate or explode and pose a risk of contaminating the environment. THAAD was designed to hit Scuds and similar weapons.
Although originally a U.S. Army program, THAAD has come under the umbrella of the Missile Defense Agency. The Navy has a similar program, the sea-based Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, which now has a land component awell (“Aegis ashore”). THAAD was originally scheduled for deployment in 2012, but initial deployment took place May 2008. Thanks to Wikipedia
Mars: Ancient Seam between Rocks Found
Proof of Ancient Civilizations on Mars
Date of discovery: June 30, 2016
Location of discovery: Mars: Image
This is amazing. This perfect seam was looked at today by the Mars Curiosity Rover and it shows a perfect seam between the two stones. Just like the ancient constructions in Peru, whose seams are incredibly close and perfect. These seams on Mars are proof that ancient aliens made such buildings and walls on Mars. A cog or kind of a wheel is carved into the rock. This is a NASA photo. Its real, it’s there and NASA of course will not talk about it, because that’s their response to all things found by the UFO researching community. Thanks to Scott C. Waring Website

Filer’s Files #27 -2016 Ancient Aliens are Here - PART II
Sightings in the United States
Arizona Triangle
Phoenix— First of all, I did not see or hear the so called meteor that flashed through the Eastern Arizona skies at what was reported to be 03:57 AM, MST and apparently was also visible in Utah, New Mexico, California, Texas, and Nevada. I was standing at the 19th avenue and Northern train station at 4:48 am when I noticed a high altitude missile contrails due East in the illuminated sky just prior to sunrise. I have seen these contrails on many occasions usually occurring right before sunrise. These occurrences are usually explained as being missile tests from White Sands, New Mexico about 410 miles away.
I am employed within the aerospace industry and one of the projects I am certified on is the “THAAD” (Thermal High Altitude Aerial Defense) program. Being that I was standing there looking at what appeared to be scattered contrails, I decided to snap a couple pictures with my phone camera. I didn’t really look closely at the pictures for a week or so. I have a friend on the East coast that I sent the pictures to and after the fact is when I noticed the anomaly. On the first picture along the right border there appears to be an illuminated object which when zoomed appears to be a large distant cylindrical craft with the curved bottom illuminated by the rising sun. In the second picture it appears to be turning, and in the third it is gone. I snapped these one after the other at 04:49AM. I searched the web and found multiple You-Tube videos that show that same anomaly. I find it hard to believe that I am the only observer that has noticed this. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Pilot Reports ‘Dogfight’ With Sphere UFO
San Bernardino – A private pilot reported a close encounter with a sphere-shaped UFO that came within 150 feet of his aircraft, according to testimony in Case 76954 from the Mutual UFO Network witness reporting database. The pilot encountered the object at about 1,000 feet AGL. The event occurred on June 5, 2016, while the witness was flying a private aircraft shortly after takeoff while still in the traffic pattern. “I encountered an unidentified object at 1,000 feet AGL,” the witness stated. “Object was going in the opposite direction and passed within 300 feet off my left wing. It was a metallic orb that reflected the light brilliantly and was approximately the size of a basketball.” The object first passed within 300 feet of the aircraft. The pilot banked hard left in an attempt to chase the object, placing his aircraft at its 6:00 position. “Almost immediately the object did a hard left turn accelerating to a position opposite my left wing and within 150 feet. I banked hard left again and became engaged in a two-turn ‘Dogfight’ with the object as we both tried to get on each other’s tail. After the second turn, the object broke away in a southern direction. I lost sight after that.”This is the second encounter the pilot has had with an identical object while in the air. The pilot stated that the last encounter was in 1978. Posted by: Roger Marsh Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Disc
Fountain – On June 27, 2016, I was working in my back yard when I heard an f16 hovering and I told my wife look the airplane but when we look I saw a white dot in the sky very far away.
I told my wife let me get my camera because that looks strange. I took a couple of pictures when I look at them in my camera and zoom it in totally stun.
The object has two levels and is spherical shape with some light around. I don’t know what it is but I live close to Norad. I believe they have totally control on our air space. So this could be an experiment or an UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Delaware Lights
Bear – I took the dog out and looked up and saw this red and green thing sitting still in the sky on July 28, 2016, about 100 yards to the west. I grabbed my iPhone and got the first video then went back in and got my video cam and got the second one. I don’t know what it was but it made no sound. While I was getting the video cam it moved from where I first saw it toward the north.
Then it moved slowly toward the northwest dropped down and did a 90 degree right turn going behind a building and did not reappear. There were two other guys watching also. It had 2 or 3 large red lights which were on constantly, and 1 green flashing one. It seemed to be spinning slowly while it hovered. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Cylinder
Port St Lucie – I was home. I took three pictures on the moon at approx 7 am on June 22, 2016.
Later in the day I looked at my photos. The last picture had a black dot near the moon. When I enlarged it, I was amazed and confused. I did not see anything at the time of the picture.
I wish I had. Not sure if I have taking a picture of a ufo?? I looked at the picture in black and white and the top and bottom of the item looks highlighted. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Hawaii Object
Honolulu — I noticed the ufo on the image after I reviewed my vacation photos from October 27, 2015, once I made it make home. The UFO is hovering in the cloud in the top right of picture. It appears to have 10 lights. Do you know what the object is in the photo? Please help. I submitted this to another channel but never heard back. BTW, I was on top of a mountain. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oahu – My buddy and I went to Sandy’s (beach on the South East shore of Oahu, Hawaii).We were sitting in the back/bed of his truck while watching the surf, and trying to chat with the pretty girls in the next vehicle.
I took a picture of the ocean on September 3, 2015, trying to “capture” a wave before it broke. A month or two later I decided to post the picture on Facebook, and as I looked at the image (obviously enlarged on my Facebook page, versus my cell phone screen)… I noticed the disc shape. I enlarged the photo and cannot see any wings, a tail, rotator blades, etc. It has a “penny” shape to it. Unfortunately, I don’t remember seeing anything that day in the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maine Objects
Sebago – I had stepped out the front door onto the landing of my house on May 12, 2016, and noticed an object that was much larger and brighter than the other stars. It was moving slightly up and down and side to side…so slightly that I stood and watched it for a few minutes to make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me. The sky was full of stars. It’s very dark here and I had never seen anything that big, bright, and noticeable in the sky in my life. I went and got my cell phone. There were no other stars visible when looking through the camera; I could only see the object.
There were different colors coming off of it, and it was moving so much. When I looked at it through the camera, it was blinking and moving all over the place. When I magnified the object there were different colors and it moved quickly? Thanks to MUFON
Minnesota Light
Columbia Heights – I was watching fireworks with friends and family in a warehouse parking lot on June 16, 2016.
I noticed something interesting out of the corner of my eye.
Definitely thought it was a ufo. The object was monitoring and observing the fireworks. I was excited to share this opportunity with my family and friends. Object then disappeared above the fireworks. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Two triangle UFOs reported at New Jersey tree top level
A New Jersey witness at Barnegat Light reported watching two triangle-shaped UFOs pass over at tree top level that quickly moved west, according to testimony in Case 76757 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The reporting witness and her boyfriend were outside barbecuing on a clear night on June 1, 2016.
“My boyfriend observed the object pass over the tree top with multiple colors, triangle shape, lights all around outside, very little to no noise,” the witness stated. The two quickly saw a second object. “The second object was the same, but only three lights – one on each corner, a little to no noise. Both objects headed west, right over our heads. I thought it was either a UFO or a new type of government craft. I did not have camera and it happened so fast.”
Barnegat Light is in Ocean County, NJ, population 574. New Jersey State Section Director Robert Spearing investigated and closed this case as an Unknown. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made…
The UFO was moving at the tree top level over Barnegat, NJ. A second UFO was right behind the first as it moved overhead.
Both UFOs moved quickly away. Pictured: Barnegat Light, NJ. (Credit: Google) Similar triangles captured over Scotland. The UFO was moving at the tree top level over Barnegat, NJ.

Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com
New Mexico Light
Albuquerque– The craft was miles wide and 150 miles long near the moon. So the next morning I went on U Stream to find the ISS live feed. As I was watching the screen a red light went by the ISS, then a green, then the whole screen. I was on JPL web site looking at their lecture about colored lights that are seen at night around all our missions in space. What got me was he said they are ships and the smallest one was 50 mass? It was like looking through a kaleidoscope. So now I have to see if I can see them. So I got my brother’s camera a NIKON – 200 and started taking pictures of the night sky facing the south and I found them. I found something else; the sun changing the moon being covered up a massive fleet when Mars came close to the earth. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
Surfside— My cousin a fishing boat captain in Surfside TX sent me this picture. He has been a captain for 15-20 years and has never seen anything like this.
He observed this blue/green orb as he was headed back inshore from a fishing charter at 5:59 pm on June 26, 2016. I will give you his phone number since he is the firsthand witness to this. What is odd to me is that the object is bright (glowing) but is back-lit by the sun (no reflection). Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Lights
I was just walking around snapping random pictures on March 3, 2016, when I noticed this object appear on the photo.
I automatically recognized it as a UFO. I felt a little sick after. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Salmon Creek – UFO’s were seen in Vancouver Washington on May 29th, 2016, exactly at 1:32 PM. A total of four UFO’s were shot on camera. At 1:30 PM I shot a Chem-trail video of two Jets that got my immediate attention. I texted a friend to look-up in the sky. I looked at his text and there is this strange black object hovering there. I instantly turned on my Samsung 3 Phone and shot this video. As I was filming this the crows were freaked out just as I was. My neighbor came out with her grandson and we all witnessed this amazing event.
In the beginning the white saucer is seen hovering around the evergreen tree. 1:07 there is a Flash of some kind. At 1:18 the white UFO appears again. At 2:21 the second Saucer is next to the evergreen tree. At 2:34 the second Saucer is at the bottom left side of the screen. At 3:32 the second Saucer is visible and from 4:03 to 4:07 a third fast paced Dark Saucer is on a path it come back. Thanks to William Puckett, DirectorWebsite
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Sun
I was looking at the images from the Solar and Hemispherical Observatory Satellite on 4th June 2016 when I saw two objects near the Sun. I screen captured them, and then did a close up analysis. I am amazed to see they’re artificial in appearance. One in particular seems to be shaped very much as I would imagine a spaceship to be with one bulbous front part and a bigger rear and what looks like a tail section pointing up. Although blurry the artificiality of these structures are evident. They are mere specks next to the sun, but would be enormous in relation to planet Earth. The second object is almost like a ‘lawn roller’ in shape with a big cylinder and a distinct thin appendage coming out the back. Enhancing the image seems to show vapor coming off it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Bosnia Lights
Banja Luka – I was in my bed when this occurred, I heard strange noise on June 25, 2016, which I hear almost every day about 3am.
This time it got real. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Sphere
Scarborough While on break at work in Scarborough in the mid- afternoon on June 1, 2016, I noticed this loud low fast moving plane directly overhead. So I thought to take some pictures to capture the moment at 3:23 pm. After reviewing the four pictures I noticed something odd caught on film in two pictures. It appears long and white – almost translucent. Thanks to Paul Shishis
Mexico Swarm of ‘UFOs’ over Volcano
On June 25, 2016, Coast to Coast revealed an infrared web cam observing a volcano in Mexico captured remarkable footage of a veritable fleet of glowing objects that have left viewers guessing as to their nature.
The incident, culled from a live stream video of the Popocatepetl volcano, begins with a handful of glowing orbs coming into view and then the screen filling with the odd objects.
Check out the remarkable video and find out the various theories as to what the anomalous orbs may be.Incredible Encounters with the Paranormal
Monterey – At 10:40 pm on June 24, 2016, I was outside on the balcony looking at Jupiter. Suddenly I a saw like a shooting star switching colors to blue, red, and white. hen it turned northwest in the direction to the Leo constellation. It was making different short turns, like deciding where to go. The event took about 13 seconds then the object I’m sure, camouflaged like a light dimmed down fast. Note: Fastwalkers are reported entering our atmosphere by NORAD several times a week. thanks to MUFON CMS

Mashhad – A shepherd filmed a dark brown black thing hanging in air for a few minutes on June 24, 2016.You can search online for getting info that is more useful. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Portugal Lights
Charneca de Caparica — This upload of video clips are recorded from 22 to 26 June 2016, in the terrace of my house, where every night I made observations of phenomenon`s in the night sky. In this clips MUFON can visualize three different kinds of technologies of flight.
In the video of the “splash ufos” it is necessary to reduce the speed of reproduction to 30%, since they are very difficult to see. In one of the clips there is a plane passing by. I am registering all to look after patterns. They show up in certain regions of the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK England Crop Circles
June 6, 2016
Location of discovery: Castle Hill, Wiltshire, UK
Many of us believe that some crop circles were made by aliens trying to communicate a message to humanity though space and time. That even an attempt could change future events and save humanity. It’s my personal believer that each one found in the same area is a word, and each word will appear at an evenly spaced moment of time from the last…just as we see at Castle Hill over the last few years. Scott C. Waring
News states: The June 06, 2016 Castle Hill Crop Circle is in my opinion, a key crop circle, that affirms the return to and the continued focus on the future ritual dates of 9-23 and 9-24. By viewing the crop circle in a negative view, I was able to observe a subtle created and hidden sphere image, created within the image of the Castle Hill Crop Circle. It was this hidden sphere that allowed me to observe and to once again confirm the future intention of using two each 911 false flag events to create the needed time line, needed by the NWO Supercomputer, to ensure their future one world government and one world domination of the world. The Castle Hill UK Crop Circle for me marks a key set of dates in time, regarding the mega ritual of time manipulation that I have been following and pursuing for many year.

Meteorite Minerals Reveal Unexpected Collisions in the Early Solar System
Meteorite Minerals Reveal Unexpected Collisions in the Early Solar System
By Samantha Mathewson
Researchers have identified high-temperature magnetites in chondrules that shed new light on the conditions of the early solar system.

In the very early solar system, newly formed massive planets like Jupiter and Saturn stirred up trouble in their cosmic neighborhood, causing smaller bodies to collide with each other, new research shows.
In the disk of material surrounding the very newly formed sun — a swirling cloud of dense gas and dust that eventually gave birth to Earth and the other planets — rocky bodies from the inner solar system experienced violent collisions with icy bodies from the outer solar system, according to new research paper published today (July 1) in the journal Science Advances. To reach each other, these clumps of matter would have traveled across billions of miles of space.
This discovery comes from a detailed analysis { of twosamples of what scientists call chondrite meteorites that fell to Earth from space. Chondrites are among the largest class of meteorites and some of the oldest solid materials found in the solar system. These particular chondrite meteorites have their own names — Vigarano and Kaba — to distinguish them from others that have been collected. [Asteroids May Not Be Planet Building Blocks After All]
Vigarano and Kaaba also contain chondrules — small, round, glassy pellets embedded in chondrites. Chondrules formed when molten droplets rapidly cooled in outer space, and they constitute up to 80 percent of primitive meteorites, according to Yves Marrocchi, a cosmochemist at the Centre of Petrographic and Geochemical Research (CRPG) in France and lead author of the new study.
Chondrules were a part of the protoplanetary disk, from which Earth and the other planets in our solar system formed.

Prior research had suggested that magnetite — a primary mineral formed during chondrule formation — present in chondrules was the result of cold water circulation, according to Marrocchi. However, the new study found that the chondrules embedded in Vigarano and Kaba contain high-temperature magnetites.
"This implies that these chondrules were formed under oxygen-rich conditions during impacts between planetesimals," Marrocchi told Space.com.
The composition and shape of the minerals present in the primitive meteorites revealed to Marrocchi and his colleagues that Vigarano and Kaba formed at high temperatures, he said. Marrocchi explained that, in order for magnetites to form at a high temperature, the environment of the protoplanetary disk needed to be oxygen-rich, which only occurs when there are collisions between planetesimals.
"When you produce a collision between small planets, you will produce what we call a plume of gas, which is just the vapors resonating from the collision," Marrocchi said, adding that the magnetites are then formed from the gases released during the collisions.
The results shed new light on the conditions of the early solar system. The researchers found the composition of these magnetites can only be explained by invoking a collision between rocky planetesimals from the inner solar system and icy bodies from the outer solar system. Using astrophysical models, the researchers then concluded that there was a lot of scattering between the inner and outer parts of the solar system, due to the early formation of giant planets, Marrocchi said.
"This implies that chondrules are not primitive dust formed in the disk but, to the contrary, are byproducts of collisions between planetesimals in the early evolution of the solar system," Marrocchi said.
Next, the researchers hope to better understand the kinetics, composition of gas, and duration of such collisions. If high-temperature magnetites are, in fact, found in other types meteorites, it will indicate that these collisions are the main process that drives chondrule formation, Marrocchi said.
Embedded in the asteroid belt is a dwarf planet that features a 3-mile-high (5 kilometers) pyramid-shaped mountain and intriguing bright patches that scientists are still trying to understand.
This world's name is Ceres, and it is currently under scrutiny by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, which began orbiting the dwarf planet in March 2015.
The 590-mile-wide (950 km) Ceres remains mysterious more than two centuries after its 1801 discovery. For example: Where did it form? Are there other bodies out there like it? To get more insight, Space.com asked Dawn principal investigator Christopher Russell of UCLA for his thoughts on the biggest mysteries of Ceres. This slideshow includes the questions he asked. [See photos of the dwarf planet Ceres]
1. Why doesn't Ceres have a family of "ceroids" associated with it?

The protoplanet Vesta, another large body in the asteroid belt that Dawn examined from orbit, has a family of asteroids that orbit near it. These "vestoids" are believed to have been blasted out by a powerful impact long ago, which created a huge crater that was first spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope when Vesta passed close to Earth in 1996. In 2011, a new type of asteroid was identifiedthat apparently originated from Vesta's interior somehow. (The asteroid is called 1999 AT10).
Ceres, like Vesta, is a long-time inhabitant of the asteroid belt. It also has many craters on its surface. Why haven't scientists seen any "ceroids" associated with Ceres? Figuring out this answer could yield insight into the different formation histories of Vesta and Ceres, Russell said.
2. Why have we seen no meteorites from Ceres?

There's another thing that Vesta has that Ceres doesn't: meteorites that have fallen to Earth.
"Vesta informed us of herself by showering Earth with meteorites — the Howardites, Eucrites and Diogenites," Russell told Space.com. "Six percent of all the meteorites seen falling to Earth come from Vesta, but we know of none from Ceres."
The mysterious lack of Ceres meteorites makes it harder to learn about the internal composition of the dwarf planet, because this composition cannot be studied directly. Instead, Dawn must make inferences from orbital observations. Scientists can also gain insights through modeling Ceres' formation, and comparing the object to other bodies in the solar system.
3. Where is the water vapor on Ceres coming from?

In early 2014, scientists announced that they had spotted signs of water vapor on the dwarf planet. This discovery — which was something of a surprise, because asteroids in the main belt are not known to spout plumes — came courtesy of Europe's Herschel space telescope, which did not see the water vapor every time it looked at Ceres.
At the time, scientists suggested that the water vapor occurs when parts of Ceres' icy surface get a little warmer, as the dwarf planet gets closer to the sun.
In 2015, Dawn scientists observed a haze above Occator crater, suggesting that this feature could be an active source of water vapor on Ceres. But it's still unclear where the plume reported in 2014 came from.
4. Where did Ceres form?
The surface of Ceres, as imaged by the Dawn spacecraft, shows ample evidence of impacts in the ancient past.

Ceres' location in the asteroid belt is intriguing because the dwarf planet is so much bigger and rounder than its companions. Even the 330-mile-wide (530 km) Vesta is irregularly shaped. There also are elements on Ceres' surface that confused the Dawn science team when they began examining the dwarf planet up close. [See Ceres in Sharp Detail (Video)]
"When we first looked at the surface of Ceres, it was covered with ammoniated phyllosilicates," Russell told Space.com in an email. "But ammonia contains nitrogen, which is condensed in a very cold environment."
This observation raises intriguing questions about where Ceres formed, Russell said. For example, perhaps the dwarf planet coalesced in the cold, dark depths of the outer solar system and then migrated inward to its current position somehow.
Right now, Ceres orbits the sun at about 3 astronomical units (AU); 1 AU is the Earth-sun distance, about 93 million miles (150 million km).
"Was it ever this cold at 3 AU, where Ceres is now?" Russell added. "Or did Ceres come from far out in the solar system, where it is cold today?"
5. What is the true nature of those bright spots on Ceres?
Roughly 130 bright areas on Ceres are highlighted in blue in this map of the dwarf planet, made up of images from the Dawn spacecraft.

The bright spots on Ceres made the dwarf planet famous even before Dawn entered orbit. The mystery of what these spots are — ice, salt or something else — even inspired an xkcd comic, which (spoiler alert) joked that perhaps it was evidence of a past visitor.
The massive public interest in the bright spots inspired NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California to create a poll allowing people to vote for their favored explanation —volcanoes, geysers, rocks, ice, salt deposits or other.
In December 2015, results released in the journal Nature gave a bit more insight into what the bright spots are. Dawn identified more than 130 bright areas that are mostly associated with impact craters. Inside these cratersappears to be a type of salt(magnesium sulfate) called hexahydrite. The theory is that the salt was unearthed when asteroids hit the surface. When the water ice in these craters sublimated into space, the salts were left behind.
But mysteries still abound concerning that theory. For example, Dawn scientists suggested at a March 2016 press conference that Occator Crater — where the biggest bright spots are — is apparently too old for the theoryto work. The thinking is that the salts should have been covered over in the 80 million years since Occator was formed. Dawn investigations continue in an attempt to resolve the findings.
Real-Life Holodeck? 'Star Trek' Tech Uses VR to Solve Global Problems
Real-Life Holodeck? 'Star Trek' Tech Uses VR to Solve Global Problems
By Edd Gent, Live Science Contributor
Researchers at New York University are designing an immersive virtual-reality environment inspired by the fictional Holodeck in the "Star Trek" TV series.

On the cult sci-fi TV show "Star Trek," crewmembers aboard the USS Enterprise could explore simulated environments or participate in interactive virtual experiences — anything from walking around lush forests to trying to solve a Sherlock Holmes-style mystery — as a way to mentally escape the confines of the starship or take a break from daily activities.
While the fictional Holodeck from the hit series was mainly used by the "Star Trek" characters for recreational purposes, could such an immersive virtual-reality (VR) environment help people tackle global problems like climate change or drug policy? Researchers at New York University (NYU) think so, and they are designing their own version of the technology to create a cyberlearning environment of the future.
Winslow Burleson, the project's leader and an associate professor focusing on educational technology at NYU, thinks a network of internet-connected Holodecks could allow people to crowdsource solutions to intractable societal problems. [Science Fact of Fiction? The Plausibility of 10 Sci-Fi Concepts]
The technology could enable people across the globe to create and participate in detailed simulations for research and collaborative learning, even allowing them to explore virtual scenarios to help find better ways of tackling communal challenges, he said.
"The future is moving from today's approach of trying to teach you who we think you should become, to a capacity for you to explore as a learner throughout your life who you are and who you want to be," Burleson told Live Science.
"I see that happening both at the individual level and at a societal level," he said. "If we can envisage the kinds of worlds that we want to explore and potentially live in, we can then use these Holodecks as collaborative sense-making tools to understand our interactions and impacts and use that to evolve our societies."
'Star Trek'-inspired tech
The NYU Experiential Super Computer, nicknamed the Holodeck, will combine VR technology and touch-based controls and feedback with computers that can simulate in real-time everything from environments to social situations, or even visualizations of scientific problems, the researchers said.
The system will be able to track users' movements and even their mental states via physiological cues like sweating or the pitch of their voices, Burleson said. This will help personalize their experiences, he added.
And as people use the Holodeck, they will be guided through their learning by robotic and virtual learning assistants, according to the researchers. The system will even feature 3D printing technology so that people can rapidly create physical prototypes of things they're working on, they said.
This kind of immersive virtual experience is now possible, thanks to the rapid advances currently being made in VR technology, largely fueled by the gaming industry. Burleson said his group has already made significant progress with several of the component technologies. [Beyond Gaming: 10 Other Fascinating Uses for Virtual-Reality Tech]
For example, the scientists have already demonstrated that HD camera arrays can capture the positioning of all users and physical objects in a prototype Holodeck and use this to position them in a virtual scene shown through VR goggles in real time. The NYU researchers have also created a 3D sound system that can record and recreate accurate simulations of acoustic spaces, Burleson said.
Members of the team have worked with NASA and the Exploratorium, the San Francisco-based cyberlearning museum, to design robotic and virtual assistants for both cyberlearning and remote planetary exploration.
The researchers have also partnered with a Boston-based startup called Humanyze, which creates high-tech badges packed with sensors that cantrack people's movement, social interactions and even speech dynamics.
Fact vs. fiction
But the researchers still have a ways to go before they can create a working prototype, Burleson said. They are currently focused on setting up an infrastructure that will enable them to combine these various parts into a coherent whole and make it easy for users to share information or even contribute to the project with new tools and features, he added.
"The work we're doing now is to fuse these components into one overarching architecture," Burleson said. "It's the difference between an individual knife for a specialized task and a Swiss army knife."
The use of virtual worlds to tackle real-world problems is already an active domain of research that even has its own peer-reviewed academic publication — the Journal of Virtual Worlds Research.
Games like "World of Warcraft" and "Second Life" have been used by researchers to investigate everything from psychology to the governance of virtual universes. But the more complex and customizable virtual worlds that would be enabled by the Holodeck should make it possible to tackle larger and more complex problems, Burleson said.
"It enables a process of understanding how we want to live, what the trade-offs are, what the possibilities are, as individuals and as a society," he said. "That lets you make more informed decisions and more agile decisions."
Ours is just another civilization to populate the planet
Ours is just another civilization to populate the planet
It is possible that, just as many other advanced civilizations in the past, ours is heading towards an imminent collapse? This is just one of the questions to which one NASA study tries to answer.
The study, sponsored in part by the Goddard Space Flight Centersuggests that our civilization, as we know, could come to an abrupt end in the coming decades due to a number of factors.
If we look back to 3000/5000 years, there is clearly shown how advanced and complex civilization were just as susceptible to collapse. This recurrent pattern has led researchers to question the future existence of the company and today’s civilization.
If we could look back even further, perhaps 10,000 years ago, perhaps we will have evidence of advanced civilizations that preceded the pre-Inca civilizations, Olmec and the Egyptian civilization to say nothing of other advanced civilizations in Mesopotamia.
It is hard to overlook the repeated similarities that scholars have identified in these civilizations and the study funded by NASA would have produced clear evidence of similar pathways that they would take ancient civilizations on earth. This is seen as a clear sign that civilization on Earth was reset many times.
Mesopotamian empires, Maya, the fall of the Empire are all witnesses of how fragile civilization are.
What brings a civilization to collapse?
The study came to the conclusion that there are two basic social characteristics that have contributed to the collapse of each individual advanced civilizations of the past
Increased demand for resources
Economic social differences in society
These two phenomena have played a central role in the collapse phase, at least the last few 5000 years.
Although our technologically advanced present (at least according to our canons), does not mean that we are exempt from a possible chaos. In the study we find that:
” Technological change can increase the efficiency of resource use, but it also tends to increase both the per capita consumption of resources that they extract of the scale, so that the effects of the effects of policies and an increased consumption, often compensate greater efficiency in the use of resources “
One of the greatest examples of ancient civilization advanced disappearance is found in Mesopotamia.
Let’s take a quick look at the Mayan people, ancient civilization with a very advanced knowledge, but we also find them different factors that played a crucial role in their disappearance. Many believe that the famine, deforestation and drought are the basis of the disappearance of the Maya people, factors which we also present in the disappearance of other civilizations in the world.
Motesharrei and his colleagues conclude that under conditions that closely reflects the reality of today. The collapse is difficult to avoid. Civilizations have come and gone, many more than those we think we know, and which were probably even much more advanced than ours.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “The aliens would see us as their pet”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “The aliens would see us as their pet”
American astrophysicist and popularizer Neil deGrasse Tyson believes that a sufficiently intelligent extraterrestrial civilization would have no interest in humans and whether they had a contact “would we like a chimpanzee, a baby or your pet.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, who presented the new production of informative program Cosmos , made this statement during a talk with Jill Tarter, former director of the SETI Center for Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe Carl Sagan, the creator of that science series , he co – founded.
DeGrasse, who is an associate in the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History researcher, explained that, in relation to intelligence and despite wars, humanity “has improved and there is some hope in terms of natural evolution: look good in how we treat ourselves and how we could treat aliens. “
However, the researcher said, a sufficiently intelligent extraterrestrial civilization would have no interest in humans as “if you go down the street do not think about communicating with a microscopic worm”, so he quipped, “our greatest protection against aliens would not throw signs of intelligent life on Earth. “
When you think the closest genetically to humans (a genetic difference of 1 percent), the chimpanzee, continued Neil deGrasse, animal species realizes that the smartest thing you can do is to stack boxes, eat a banana and perhaps a rudimentary sign language, like a human baby makes two years.
Given the above, he continued, “how would we aliens?”. For perhaps they would see the most intelligent human “as the chimpanzee, your baby or your pet, and say that Stephen Hawking is a little smarter than the rest because it can make astrophysical calculations like his son just came from the nursery” .
Therefore, he continued DeGrasse, confident that if a contact with a civilization of superior intelligence what they do is “to create a zoo and get there and occasionally they throw little things, asteroids or foreign politicians like Trump” occurs.
Also, the discloser if “terraform” asked another planet Mars and send half the population, 4,000 million people, it would be realistic. Before this, he replied that “the effort to get there is greater than the need to do to change the course of a murderer asteroid”, which has more urgently “think protect ourselves.”
In this regard, Jill Tarter said that intelligence has evolved “so you do not devour: a trick of evolution and the relationship between prey and predator wherever there is life.”
The former director of the SETI program noted that this corner of the galaxy our solar system is very young and if the technology gets last a significant period of time the exercise of throwing the dart toward a sample of intelligent life “is more likely to hit the target “.

Research says Mars had oxygen-rich atmosphere 4000 million years ago
Research says Mars had oxygen-rich atmosphere 4000 million years ago
ABOVE: The Curiosity rover examines the Kimberley formation in Gale crater, Mars. In front of the rover are two holes from the rover’s sample-collection drill and several dark-toned features that have been cleared of dust (see inset images). These flat features are erosion-resistant fracture fills that are composed of manganese oxides, which require abundant liquid water and strongly oxidizing conditions to form. The discovery of these materials suggests that the Martian atmosphere might once have contained higher abundances of free oxygen than in the present day. Credit: MSSS/JPL/NASA (PIA18390)
Differences between Martian meteorites and rocks examined by a NASA rover can be explained if Mars had an oxygen-rich atmosphere 4000 million years ago—well before the rise of atmospheric oxygen on Earth 2500 million years ago.
Scientists from Oxford University investigated the compositions of Martian meteorites found on Earth and data from NASA’s ‘Spirit’ rover that examined surface rocks in the Gusev crater on Mars. The fact that the surface rocks are five times richer in nickel than the meteorites was puzzling and had cast doubt on whether the meteorites are typical volcanic products of the red planet.
‘What we have shown is that both meteorites and surface volcanic rocks are consistent with similar origins in the deep interior of Mars but that the surface rocks come from a more oxygen-rich environment, probably caused by recycling of oxygen-rich materials into the interior,’ said Professor Bernard Wood, of Oxford University’s Department of Earth Sciences, who led the research reported in this week’s Nature.
‘This result is surprising because while the meteorites are geologically ‘young’, around 180 million to 1400 million years old, the Spirit rover was analysing a very old part of Mars, more than 3700 million years old.’
Whilst it is possible that the geological composition of Mars varies immensely from region to region the researchers believe that it is more likely that the differences arise through a process known as subduction – in which material is recycled into the interior. They suggest that the Martian surface was oxidised very early in the history of the planet and that, through subduction, this oxygen-rich material was drawn into the shallow interior and recycled back to the surface during eruptions 4000 million years ago. The meteorites, by contrast, are much younger volcanic rocks that emerged from deeper within the planet and so were less influenced by this process.
Professor Wood said: ‘The implication is that Mars had an oxygen-rich atmosphere at a time, about 4000 million years ago, well before the rise of atmospheric oxygen on earth around 2500 million years ago. As oxidation is what gives Mars its distinctive colour it is likely that the ‘red planet’ was wet, warm and rusty billions of years before Earth’s atmosphere became oxygen rich.’
The discovery of manganese oxides in Martian rocks might tell us that the Red Planet was once more Earth-like than previously believed. A new paper in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that NASA’s Curiosity rover observed high levels of manganese oxides in Martian rocks, which could indicate that higher levels of atmospheric oxygen once existed on our neighboring planet. This hint of more oxygen in Mars’ early atmosphere adds to other Curiosity findings—such as evidence of ancient lakes—revealing how Earth-like our neighboring planet once was.
“The only ways on Earth that we know how to make these manganese materials involve atmospheric oxygen or microbes,” said Nina Lanza, a planetary scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and lead author on the study published in the American Geophysical Union’s journal. “Now we’re seeing manganese-oxides on Mars and wondering how the heck these could have formed.”
Lanza uses the Los Alamos-developed ChemCam instrument that sits atop Curiosity to “zap” rocks on Mars and analyze their chemical make-up. This work stems from Los Alamos National Laboratory’s experience building and operating more than 500 spacecraft instruments for national defense, giving the Laboratory the expertise needed to develop discovery-driven instruments like ChemCam. In less than four years since landing on Mars, ChemCam has analyzed roughly 1,500 rock and soil samples.
Microbes seem a far-fetched explanation for the manganese oxides at this point, said Lanza, but the idea that the Martian atmosphere contained more oxygen in the past than it does now seems possible. “These high-manganese materials can’t form without lots of liquid water and strongly oxidizing conditions,” said Lanza “Here on Earth, we had lots of water but no widespread deposits of manganese oxides until after the oxygen levels in our atmosphere rose due to photosynthesizing microbes.”
In the Earth’s geological record, the appearance of high concentrations of manganese is an important marker of a major shift in our atmosphere’s composition, from relatively low oxygen abundances to the oxygen-rich atmosphere we see today. The presence of the same types of materials on Mars suggests that something similar happened there. If that’s the case, how was that oxygen-rich environment formed?
“One potential way that oxygen could have gotten into the Martian atmosphere is from the breakdown of water when Mars was losing its magnetic field,” said Lanza. “It’s thought that at this time in Mars’ history, water was much more abundant.” Yet without a protective magnetic field to shield the surface from ionizing radiation, that radiation started splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Because of Mars’ relatively low gravity, it wasn’t able to hold onto the very light hydrogen atoms, but the heavier oxygen atoms remained behind. Much of this oxygen went into the rocks, leading to the rusty red dust that covers the surface today. While Mars’ famous red iron oxides require only a mildly oxidizing environment to form, manganese oxides require a strongly oxidizing environment. These results suggest that past conditions were far more oxidizing (oxygen-rich) than previously thought.
“It’s hard to confirm whether this scenario for Martian atmospheric oxygen actually occurred,” Lanza added. “But it’s important to note that this idea represents a departure in our understanding for how planetary atmospheres might become oxygenated.” So far, abundant atmospheric oxygen has been treated as a so-called biosignature, or a sign of existing life.
The next step in this work is for scientists to better understand the signatures of non-biogenic versus biogenic manganese, which is directly produced by microbes. If it’s possible to distinguish between manganese oxides produced by life and those produced in a non-biological setting, that knowledge can be directly applied to Martian manganese observations to better understand their origin.
The high-manganese materials were found in mineral-filled cracks in sandstones in the Kimberley region of Gale crater, which the Curiosity rover has been exploring for the last four years. But that’s not the only place on Mars that abundant manganese has been found. The Opportunity rover, which has been exploring Mars since 2004, also recently discovered high-manganese deposits in its landing site thousands of miles from Curiosity, which supports the idea that the conditions needed to form these materials were present well beyond Gale crater.
Much of what we know about aliens comes from what abductees and contactees themselves report. Only when such information is factual and relevant can meaningful conclusions be reached. Fabrication, hallucination, and screen memories obscure the truth, and so various protocols exist to improve the signal to noise ratio. These include cross-correlating multiple eyewitness accounts and using hypnotic regression techniques to bypass the memory blocks and screen memories installed by abductors.
There is yet another source of noise, one not generally known but potentially widespread, which is the mimicry of alien contact by non-alien entities of an occult nature. Through telepathic means, occult entities have the ability to generate controlled hallucinations in the minds of their victims in order to reshape their beliefs and thereby control their behavior.
Ras Al Khaimah: demon or alien?
What are occult entities (OEs)? They are nonphysical beings familiar to ghost hunters, exorcists, demonologists, and occultists; they are what we might call ghosts, demons, phantoms, shadow people, lower astral entities, or thoughtforms. Their ability to induce guided hallucinations in the vulnerable means that they can project whatever scenario and cast of characters they wish. If the target is amenable to manipulation via an alien storyline, then that is what is used. These occult entities can just as easily take the guise of ascended masters, archangels, spirit guides, or departed human spirits. That is not to say the latter are all a farce, just that OEs can mimic them to varying degrees.
So the concern is that some individuals claiming alien contact may instead be under the influence of one or more OEs feeding them counterfeit experiences. Since they may appear sane and show no signs of intentional fabrication, one risks concluding that the contact is genuine and contributes to our understanding of the alien presence. To avoid this contamination of our knowledge pool, we must develop an understanding of occult entities how their abilities, limitations, methods of operation, and possible motivations compare and contrast with those of aliens.
Naturally this concept goes against the simplistic idea that aliens are just demons in disguise, or that the demons of mythology were all just aliens. It’s not that simple. Experiencers who endure both occult and alien activity may notice over time the various nuances that differentiate one from the other; both aliens and OEs exist as distinct categories.
While much can be deduced from personal observation, the context for deeper understanding can only be provided by diving into the existing literature on UFOlogy, demonology, metaphysics, Forteana, and occult theory. The more dots, the more revealing the picture. Toward that end, I have researched these and related subjects for over two decades and have corresponded with thousands of contacts who were kind enough to privately share with me their anomalous experiences. Being an abductee myself and having dealt with paranormal phenomena since childhood, I was able to personally verify or support much of what I heard from others or read in the literature. What follows is a distillation of that effort.
Definitions
In this article, “alien” encompasses the entire cadre of intelligent and technologically sophisticated extraterrestrial, interdimensional, and time traveling humanoids who are foreign to our civilization. Some appear to be physical like ourselves while others are quasi-physical in that they normally inhabit a higher meta-reality beyond three dimensions of space and linear time and project themselves into our reality as required.
Through a combination of technology and mindpower they can defy gravity and inertia, alter the local rate of time, create structures containing more internal volume than is apparent from the outside, dephase solid objects to allow passage through solid matter or coexistence within solid matter, and create wormholes between locations. Many can also read human thoughts, communicate telepathically, and view probable futures with great accuracy.
The term “occult entities” (OEs) refers to non-alien autonomous intelligences lacking physical bodies. For purposes of this article, the case is limited to the more malevolent or mischievous types including: dark ghosts, which are deceased humans of a hostile disposition who continue linger near the physical plane after death; thoughtforms or etheric parasites, which are rudimentary constructs generated in the etheric plane by intense human thoughts and emotions, and which like leeches seek out more of the same nourishment that created them; and demons, who are particularly malicious entities consisting of a conglomerate of powerful thoughtforms, parasites, and degenerate human or alien discarnates.
OEs inhabit nonphysical realms called by occultists the “etheric” and “astral” planes. The etheric plane is a boundary zone between the physical and metaphysical. It is a subtle energy medium that permeates, underlies, mirrors, and contains the physical universe. Not only does it contain etheric copies of physical objects, anchored in space and time to those objects, but it also contains etheric entities and constructs that have no physical counterparts. The astral plane, on the other hand, is an entirely metaphysical plane of consciousness that has little correspondence to locations in our spacetime continuum.
As living human beings, we have not only physical bodies, but also etheric and astral bodies. The latter together comprise the soul. The more sentient OEs inhabit the astral plane in their native, weakened, or dormant state. There, they can affect us mentally and emotionally because our astral body extends into the astral plane. If an OE also acquires sufficient etheric energy, it can then condense for itself an etheric body and inhabit the etheric environment, meaning it then establishes a localized presence near the physical plane. And if it gathers even more energy, it may even begin affecting things physically as seen in the poltergeist phenomenon. But if the OE grows too weak, it loses its grip on physicality and delocalizes back into the astral plane.
Unlike the nonphysical astral realm of the OEs, the meta-reality inhabited by aliens appears to be a more vibrant and pliable state of physicality with degrees of freedom unfamiliar to us. In the meta-reality, they also have perceptual and technological access to the etheric plane allowing for physico-etheric engineering, which allows them to alter the etheric underpinnings of physicality in order to manipulate physical laws at the quantum level. Aliens have the ability to dephase their physical bodies out of our physical plane and sufficiently into the etheric such that we cannot perceive them with our five senses. If one were to enter an out-of-body state, then by perceiving through the etheric eyes instead of the physical, one would be able to perceive both dephased aliens and etheric OEs.
Having now discussed the basic nature of aliens and OEs, we will take a closer look at how they compare.
Comparison Between Aliens and Occult Entities
Like humans, most aliens have tangible bodies requiring protection and upkeep, and so they too require shelter, transport, clothing, and technology. It is no surprise, therefore, that aliens are known to have bases, ships, uniforms, and various technologies based on advanced sciences.
Discarnate OEs, on the other hand, have only the growth and diminution of their subtle energy bodies to worry about, and so they concern themselves with stealing etheric and astral energies from the living in order to sustain their own form. OEs don’t require special suits, underground bases, flying crafts, or a host of technologies to carry out their agenda. Rather, they operate more via occult, magickal, or metaphysical principles. If OEs ever do display clothing, they tend to be malevolent human discarnates symbolically projecting silhouettes of human items such as brimmed hats, capes, and long coats.
Whereas aliens are physical or quasi-physical and therefore have biological bodies, OEs are discarnate and have no physical bodies, let alone genetics. Consequently, OEs are incapable of hybridizing or interbreeding with humans; nor can they leave behind traces of biological material with analyzable DNA, for example the anomalous blond hair found in Peter Khoury’s case.[1] Succubi and incubi are OEs known to etherically stimulate a target sexually, but this is more a form of sexual energy harvesting whereas certain alien abductions also involve harvesting the biological products for their hybrid breeding projects.
Out of necessity, aliens are much better versed in physical sciences and engineering than OEs. Unlike OEs, they possess real knowledge and equipment that can be shared with select human groups. For instance, the astras (celestial weapons) of Hindu mythology and Ark of the Covenant in Judaic mythology trace back to times when alien groups gave their human proxies certain extraterrestrial artifacts to help them carry out their missions. Same can be said today with allegations of human shadow military groups receiving alien technology in exchange for allowing or assisting with alien abduction of the citizenry.
Unlike aliens, OEs only seem capable of providing imitative or carricaturized “science” and “technology” that are nothing more than props to flesh out their deceptive storylines. There is no novel objective logic behind these props or what is observed of them, anymore than one could derive workable technology from the set of a science fiction movie. They seem to pull their ideas from our collective consciousness, whether by observing our thoughts or by drawing on memories of having previously been human. Keen eperiencers may note that the average OE is never as intelligent or sophisticated as the average alien. In terms of providing practical knowledge, at best OEs provide occult instructions on rituals and contraptions like ouija boards, scrying mirrors, EVP techniques, or etheric portal inducing arrangements that enhance their ability to interface with our world.
Strong OEs have telekinetic abilities and can generate poltergeist phenomena, their strength being derived from the amount of lifeforce energy they feed upon. They can also generate electric and magnetic anomalies that induce mild interference in electronic devices up to and including electronic voice phenomena.
Aliens, by comparison, can do all this and also shut down car engines, stop video and audio recorders, and deactivate nuclear missiles; their ships can show up on flight radar as anomalous blips, generate loud humming noises and modulated vibrations, leave ground traces, emit bright multicolored flashing lights, and can be seen by multiple eyewitnesses dashing off into the distance at incredible speeds. Aliens can even levitate and dephase an abductee through solid walls and closed windows via their infamous blue light beam technology, or quarantine the abductee’s local section of spacetime from surrounding spacetime in order to carry out an abduction in isolation from outside perception or even memory. OEs only have parlor tricks in comparison.
Both aliens and OEs are capable of performing soul abductions. In the case of OEs, it occurs via one or more shadow-like humanoid forms literally tugging and pulling the soul out by the head, feet, or arms. In alien soul abductions, alien entities may telepathically induce an OBE and then usher the individual toward an awaiting ship; another reported method involves a kind of vortical tractor beam swirling the soul up and out to the ship. And whereas alien soul abductions then progress into a structured set of procedures such as programming or etheric implant installation, OE abductions are more a crude form of soul snatching with the goal of severing the connection between soul and body in order to hijack the body simply kill the person in his or her sleep. While little is known about what happens after a successful OE abduction, a number of individuals have recounted failed attempts where they managed to fight off these “shadow people” and return to their bodies.
It appears that only aliens (and military abductors) can perform physical abductions. OE “abductions” are either soul abductions or induced hallucinatory experiences. In other words, OEs cannot make a person’s body disappear for a period of time, let alone return it in strange locations or positions or with clothes on backwards as is typical of botched alien abduction return procedures. So a camera or third party observer will see an OE target remain in bed the entire time, or perhaps engage in some sleep talking or sleep walking at most. Note that aliens can also induce artificial hallucinations, better known as “virtual reality scenarios” in this context, but they are not limited to that, for they can also take the physical body up into a craft or to an underground, underwater, or orbital base.
Further, alien and military abductions or night visitations can leave physical marks on the body including bruises, scars, punctures, scoop marks, burns, cuts, unusual soreness in suspicious areas like behind the ears or in the reproductive regions, and lumps under the skin from subcutaneous implants. OEs can only affect the body through telekinetic and etheric effects that alter biological processes; this includes “etheric burns” that rupture capillaries and leave behind a shallow but well defined bruise, localized allergic or inflammatory reactions of the skin, and liquid filled cysts[2] at points on the body where the OE has sunk in its etheric tendrils. However, OEs would not have the means of producing scoop marks, permanent scars, or solid implants that are removable via surgery. And it goes without saying that OEs also cannot create pregnancies with fetuses that vanish after the first trimester.
Victims of occult parasitism may not have prior history of alien abduction, and so they will lack the associated signs such as a history of nosebleeds, childhood memories of abductions or visitation, irrational childhood phobias of objects or animals resembling the Greys or Reptilians, post traumatic stress syndrome from unremembered abductions, and the aforementioned bodily marks. Alien abductions tend to start in childhood or infancy and continue for life, whereas OEs being more opportunistic can enter one’s life suddenly during teenhood or adulthood when the entity chances a moment of psychic vulnerability.
Another important difference is that aliens rely heavily on screen memories and memory erasure to cover up what actually happened during an abduction or visitation. This implies that something objective and tangible took place that must stay hidden. OEs on the other hand are not generally known to use screen memories or memory erasure techniques, probably because they lack the ability to affect our mind-body system with sufficient depth, knowledge, and precision. The best they can do is psychically interface with the target and generate artificial hallucinations in real time, including dream manipulation, so that the individual perceives or dreams one thing while in the entity is actually doing something else like plugging into his etheric subsystems and siphoning lifeforce energy. To illustrate, if a person were to awaken or snap out of such a state, he might then notice a startled OE hovering or stooping over him. The difference between this and alien screen memory is that the latter can be installed after the fact to retroactively cover up a real memory, while OEs seem to manipulate perception solely as the event occurs. Again, aliens can do the latter but they can also do what OEs cannot.
Aliens prefer to hide their tracks; an abductee would ideally never remember that something happened unless the abductors see strategic value in letting certain things be remembered. Due to alien diligence, someone can go decades without ever realizing he or she is an abductee. Aliens are working strategically toward some bigger goal and deniability is an important part of maintaining operational security and preventing temporal paradoxes or instabilities.
OEs are less careful. They are opportunistic predators interested in energy feeding and spiritual control; sometimes that necessitates traumatizing a target or loading his mind with a false storyline that gets him caught up in their game. That entails intentionally producing an experience that sticks with him and preoccupies him. The only track OEs cover is their true nature, which is that they are really demons or malevolent ghosts and not ascended masters or spirit guides or members of the Ashtar Command, that their ulterior motive is food and control. In fact, many OEs make it a point to take up as much psychological space as possible in the minds of their targes, like a parasite consuming its host bite by bite, while aliens typically seek to minimize that space or compartmentalize it away unless the goal is to create a disinformation vector or zealously cooperative subject.
This ties into the next point, which is that aliens are logistically limited in number, mobility, and time by having to coordinate the timing of their abduction and contact operations for various reasons These reasons include avoiding interference or surveillance by rival factions, having to juggle a vast abduction program with the unique biological development cycles of each abductee, and having to travel large distances between the target’s location and their home bases or waypoints. This means that aliens come and go; their activity is sporadic and calculated, and sometimes years can pass before they return for another visit.
OEs, on the other hand, tend to set up shop at their target locations and hang out constantly. This is called “nesting” by occultists. The OE saturates the local environment, be it a house or bedroom or part of a room, with its dark etheric energies in order to condition that region of space into something more hospitable to their fragile etheric bodies.[3] The entity attaches its nest to walls, corners, furniture, anything that has an extension into the etheric plane and can hold an etheric charge. In this way, over time the OE builds a kind of base that allows it to stay close to the target with minimal energy loss to the environment. One example would be a nest hanging from the ceiling down toward where the target sleeps. With enough time, an entire building can become infested with OEs who thereby acquire free reign to move about within at leisure.
Instead of coming and going like aliens, OEs can be there all day every day. In cases of localized nesting, one giveaway is that one’s vital energy, dreams quality, moode, and mental coherence all improve when changing location. For example, one correspondent who had for years dealt with tormenting voices by a particularly demonic class of OEs experienced significant relief after her apartment caught fire and she had to move to a new place. The new home was not yet nested by the OEs and so she was free of them for the time being. To go from 24/7 attention to little or no attention simply by moving a few blocks is highly uncharacteristic of alien contact, but highly suggestive of an OE presence. In addition to setting up nests, OEs also try to worm their way ever deeper into a target’s mind and soul with the goal of full possession. Then they can control the target from the astral plane regardless of where he or she travels.
Now, there appear to be metaphysical laws in place and instinctual defense mechanisms in human beings that prevent OEs from doing this to just anyone and everyone at any time, which is why they have to be selective in whom they choose. Prime targets include those who have been spiritually weakened by heavy drug or alcohol abuse, those whose minds and souls have been fractured by trauma, those whose inborn mind-body-soul structure makes them innately prone to easily slipping into hypnagogic and hypnopompic states where OEs can more easily be perceived, the emotionally neurotic who are easily spooked, and especially the psychically sensitive who are by definiton more perceptive and responsive to, and thus manipulable by, the OE’s audio, visual, and kinesthetic telepathic projections.
To get around some of the metaphysical laws that bar them from more deeply exploiting their targets, OEs frequently seek the target’s permission to enter them. This can be done by way of trickery or wearing them down until they lose the will to resist. For example, it can be done through a series of manipulated dreams that make the target believe the OE is something benevolent, or it can be done directly via telepathic voice interactions where the OE simply asks “may I enter?” or “so you give us permission to enter?” or where they repeat hypnotic commands such as “let us in” until the target gives in.
Another OE tactic involves dangling bait, perhaps a serendipitously induced hallucination or sensation that catches the target’s interest and piques his curiosity until he willing reaches out for whatever is at the other end of that mystery. That also amounts to giving permission. Whatever the case, if the target agrees, then protective barriers fall away and the OE rapidly gains control of the target’s biological-etheric perceptual pathways. The resulting voices, sensations, dreams, and/or visuals then work to mislead or torture the target toward spiritual destruction.
Aliens can also spin such false storylines and induce virtual reality scenarios telepathically, but the difference is that they do it for strategic reasons that go beyond spiritual control and energy feeding. For instance, they might need to create a disinformation vector to write a book or website serving their agenda in some way. Or they simply seek to create smoke (multitudes of contradictory nonsensical storylines) that obscures the signal of what they’re really up to. Their efforts are generally not as sadistic or spiritually poisonous as what OEs engage in, at least not in the short term, because negative alien factions seem more concerned with manipulating the destiny of our planet and shaping the timeline for their benefit. That requires affecting our understanding and perception of them more than anything. Thus psychological or informational warfare comprises their more ubiquitous activity on this planet. (One noteable exception is the reptilian types of aliens infamous for their terrifying, brutal, and licentious natures; these same beings also seem to feed on fear and lifeforce energy, which raises the possibility that they are biological hosts for demonic entities.)
So whereas OE false storylines are concocted tales filled with spiritual disinformation to achievespiritual control, alien false storylines use alien disinformation to achieve alien control of this planet. Alien control means genetic, political, logistical, military, informational, and temporal control. Spiritual control means disconnection of soul from divinity and the snuffing out of innocence, integrity, conscience, hope, and freewill within. These two aren’t mutually exclusive and blend in the middle, but one can reasonably make the generalization that aliens and OEs are acting on separate planes of action, one more physical and temporal, the other more metaphysical and spiritual. Again, this follows from alien still being physical or quasi-physical and OEs being completely discarnate and having only matters of the soul or spirit to worry about.
Indicators of Occult Entity Deception
In summary, here are some signs that suggest OE deception rather than classic alien abduction or alien contact:
No matter how vivid and involved the hallucinated experience, none of what’s seen demonstrates objective physical interaction with the local physical environment since all of it plays out in his mind.
What objective aspects do exist merely confirm the presence of OEs. At best these include poltergeist/EVP activities, third party witnessing of shadowy nonphysical entities haunting the premises, and the sighting of dark humanoid figures standing nearby or black forms floating/swirling overhead.
No sign of physical procedures having been performed on the individual, such as physical implants, anomalous scars and markings, phantom pregnancies, history of nosebleeds, radiation sickness and conjunctivitis, etc. Any marks left on the physical body are solely those explainable by paranormal trauma including etheric energy burns that look like bruises or localized allergic skin reactions from foreign etheric energy contamination.
Whereas alien activity is intermittent, unchecked OE presence rapidly builds up to 24/7 activity that is incessant, pervasive, overbearing, and strongest in buildings where the target spends the most time.
Elaborate storylines may be given that contain too many elements drawn from the target’s own fantasies and wishful thinking mixed with convenient and creative fabrications by the entities. Due to the wealth of hallucinatory experience accumulated by the target, he or she soon becomes an “expert” in the delusional paradigm fed to him or her. For alien-style storylines invented by OEs, these may be full of large casts of characters, exciting dramas, galactic histories, personal involvement of the target in fanciful space battles and missions, and whatever else keeps the target entertained and ego-engaged. These storylines contain nothing of practical value, verifiability, novelty, and truth since they are just fantasies with a spiritually disinformative twist.
The paradigm in question contains directionality only insofar as it is tailored to ensnare the target, weaken him spiritually, and perhaps promulgate spiritual disinformation concerning matters of the soul, the afterlife, and the sovereignty of the human spirit. The more successful deception operations lead to human hosts going on to become cult leaders or channeler of these entities, thereby allowing the parasitical OEs to infect and feed upon a wider captive audience. Other storylines are designed to play on the target’s paranoid tendencies and drive him to insanity, homelessness, suicide and death.
OE influence can begin suddenly without a prior history of alien abduction or contact. It may start with a minor anomalous event like a voice, unusual dream, bodily sensation, short hallucination, or haunting event that captivates the target like bait on a hook. After the target pursues this and donates enough of his energy, the entity may go in for the kill by asking for permission to enter, and then hallucinatory experiences skyrocket.
The target may eventually come off as schizophrenic, though unlike true schizophrenia the phenomenon stops completely if the entities are banished or simply move on to another target. Also, unlike medical schizophrenia, these cases are usually accompanied by some level of paranormal activity witnessed by third parties.
Conclusion
If occult entities exist, might they have an interest in imitating aliens? Yes, if that is what provokes a cooperation from a modern mind. Obviously they cannot imitate fairies, leprechauns, or gods with as much success as they once had. Due to aliens acclimating the public to their existence, the UFO phenomenon and alien presence has saturated our cultural zeitgeist during the 20th century to such a degree that we now generally find them to be the most plausible otherworldly possibility. Accordingly, occult entities would have had to change their marketing to swing with the new beliefs. But what gives them away is the intangibility of their hallucinatory projections and the lack of intrinsic logic and objectivity behind their sham contacts and fake ships.
Occult charades, along with aliens themselves using screen memories and false storylines to cover up their activities and generate disinformation, has lead some to believe that the entire UFO phenomenon is nothing but a joke played on humanity by interdimensional tricksters. But these two interwoven strands (alien and OE) can be separated through diligent research and deduction.
Archeological, mythological, and genetic research[4] reveals the existence of an underlying objectivity and tangibility to the alien presence throughout human history. For instance: ancient observers describing advanced technologies that made no sense them and therefore could not have been projections of their cultural expectations, yet which begin making sense to modern investigators armed with knowledge of quantum, hyperdimensional, and transdimensional science. Or, consider the anomalies in the human genome suggesting we are genetically modified organisms, if not outright genetic creations by some primordial founder race.
None of the preceding examples can be credited to today’s ghosts, demons, and astral parasites who simply lack the technology and tangibility to accomplish such feats. But that doesn’t prevent them from imitating aliens crudely, fancifully, and ostentatiously by telepathically interfacing with a gullible subject and spinning for them an elaborate belief system. So we must be mindful of what these beings can do, what they cannot do, and thereby detect when a potential abductee or contactee has been caught up in a case of occult entity deception. If a case is questionable, then we should be proportionately more cautious and discerning about drawing from it any conclusions about the alien presence.

VIDEODe Amerikaanse ruimteorganisatie NASA heeft prachtige beelden vrijgegeven van poollicht op Jupiter. De beelden werden gemaakt door de ruimtelescoop Hubble.
Het poollicht (of aurora's) ontstaat wanneer geladen deeltjes de atmosfeer van de planeet binnendringen ter hoogte van de magnetische polen.
De Hubble onderzoekt momenteel het poollicht van de gasreus. Om dat onderzoek te helpen voeren, is er trouwens versterking op komst: de ruimtesonde Juno is op weg naar de planeet en komt er maandag aan. Onderzoeker Jonathan Nichols omschreef het als volgt: "Het lijkt wel alsof Jupiter een vuurwerkfeestje houdt om Juno te verwelkomen."
Is er een kleine ijstijd op komst? Meteoroloog Paul Dorian ziet daar aanwijzingen voor. Al twee keer deze maand liet de zon zich zonder donkere vlekken zien. "Een vlekkeloze zon kondigt het volgende zonneminimum aan", zegt Dorian. "De komende jaren zullen we meer van die dagen zonder zonnevlekken zien." Dat brengt bij wetenschappers de Game of Thrones-achtige mini-ijstijd van de zeventiende eeuw in herinnering. Waar we mogelijk opnieuw op afstevenen. Breekt de winter aan?
De zon was op 4 juni 'vlekkeloos' en dat duurde vier dagen lang. Het was de eerste keer sinds 2011. Daarna blééf de zon redelijk kalm, om dan opnieuw te verschijnen zonder zonnevlekken. "In het begin houdt de vlekkeloze zon maar een paar dagen per keer aan", schrijft Dorian in zijn meest recente verslag. "Daarna zal het weken duren, en uiteindelijk maanden, wanneer de zonnecyclus het punt van de laagste activiteit bereikt. Het volgende zonneminimum wordt verwacht rond 2019-2020."
Doorgaans zien we dus duidelijk donkere zonnevlekken op het zonneoppervlak. Die vlekken zijn donkerder dan de rest van de zon omdat de temperatuur ervan lager is. Zonnevlekken kunnen vele keren groter worden dan de Aarde. Normaal volgt de zon een cyclus van ongeveer elf jaar, gekenmerkt door afwisselend verminderde en verhoogde activiteit. We zitten nu in de 24ste cyclus sinds 1755, het begin van uitgebreide metingen. Bij maximale activiteit zien we de meeste zonnevlekken, bij minimale activiteit nagenoeg geen. Die periodes worden respectievelijk het zonnemaximum en het zonneminimum genoemd. Het verschil tussen deze zonnen zie je in de foto's onderaan.
Het laatste zonnemaximum, waarbij ook grote zonnevlammen optreden, vond plaats rond 2000-2001. Het omgekeerde daarvan is de periode van het zonneminimum, die we nu ongeveer beleven. Die fases in de zonnecyclus kunnen invloed hebben op het klimaat. Volgens sommige experten staan we opnieuw voor het Maunderminimum. Een gelijkaardige periode begon in 1645 en wordt de "kleine ijstijd" genoemd. Toen was het zeventig jaar lang zo koud dat zelfs de Thames bevroren raakte. Tientallen jaren later - ergens tussen 1790 en 1830 - vond het Daltonminimum plaats, een iets minder intense ijstijdachtige periode.
Paul Dorian ziet in de geschiedenis argumenten om te stellen dat "een zwakke zonneactiviteit gedurende een langere periode de algemene temperaturen doet dalen in de troposfeer, de diepste laag van de atmosfeer van de Aarde en waar we allemaal leven".
De bevindingen van Dorian sluiten aan bij de resultaten van hetwetenschappelijke onderzoek van professor Valentina Zharkova van de Universiteit van Northumbria. Die studie waarschuwde in 2012 dat de voorspelde scherpe afname van de zonneactiviteit tussen 2020 en 2050 een teken was voor een nieuwe ijstijd.
VIDEODe sterkste ruimteraket ter wereld is gisteren voor het eerst getest door NASA in de Amerikaanse plaats Promontory. Vandaag verscheen daar een spectaculaire video van. De raket moet de komende decennia austronauten lanceren richting Mars, mits alles volgens plan gaat.
Duizenden nieuwsgierige toeschouwers konden de horizontale testlancering bekijken. De raket was stevig vastgeschroefd tegen een heuvel en brandde twee minuten op volle kracht.
De raket, genaamd SLS, is bedoeld om de nieuwe ruimtecapsule Orion buiten de dampkring van de aarde te brengen. SLS en Orion zijn ontwikkeld als opvolger van de Space Shuttle. Anders dan die voorganger zou Orion mensen veel dieper de ruimte in kunnen brengen dan ooit tevoren.
Het einddoel is Mars, maar voor het zover is, komt er eerst een onbemande missie naar de maan en terug. In een later stadium wil NASA een asteroïde 'vangen' en in een baan om de maan brengen, zodat daar vervolgens astronauten op kunnen landen voor onderzoek. Dat laatste zou in 2026 moeten gebeuren.
Het succes van de plannen is echter sterk afhankelijk van financiering door het Amerikaanse Congres.
RUIMTEVAARTWater is schaars in de ruimte, en daarom drinken de bemanningsleden van ruimtestation ISS al een tijdje hun eigen gezuiverde urine. Dat gaat zo goed, dat de ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft besloten om de productie op te voeren. De ruimtevaarders moeten nog meer 'tweedehands water' drinken.
Het ISS heeft sinds een paar jaar een speciaal urinefilter. Urine bestaat voor het grootste deel uit water, dat door de machine eruit wordt gehaald. Maar in het restant zit ook nog bruikbaar water. Het nieuwe apparaat, dat in 2018 moet worden geïnstalleerd, is ontworpen om dat er ook nog uit te halen. Dan wordt 94 procent van alle plas in het ISS hergebruikt als water.
Het zuiveren van de urine in het ruimtestation levert ongeveer 6.000 liter water per jaar op. Dat hoeft dus niet vanaf de aarde te worden gebracht, wat veel geld scheelt. Hergebruik van urine helpt bovendien wanneer mensen ooit ver de ruimte in gaan, bijvoorbeeld naar Mars.
Het smaakt net als gewoon water, het enige probleem zit tussen de oren: bemanningsleden moeten wennen aan het idee dat ze gezuiverde urine drinken. "Maar voordat je walgt bij de gedachte dat je urine drinkt, denk erom dat ons water zuiverder is dan het meeste water dat je thuis drinkt'', aldus astronaut Chris Hadfield.
STERRENKUNDEMars heeft waarschijnlijk een zuurstofrijke atmosfeer gehad, zo schrijven wetenschappers rondom Nina Lanza van het Los Alamos National Laboratory in de staat New Mexico in het wetenschappelijke vakblad Geophysical Research Lettersop basis van onderzoek door de VS-robotjeep Curiosity.
De robot vond met een laser in gesteente grote hoeveelheden manganaoxide, een mineraal dat zich in zuurstof- en waterrijke condities vormt. Weliswaar kunnen ook micro-organismen manganaoxide produceren, maar het is onwaarschijnlijk dat deze variant op Mars voorkwam, menen de wetenschappers.
De manganaoxiderijke materialen kunnen zich zonder enorm grote hoeveelheden water en sterke oxiderende omstandigheden niet vormen, luidt het.
Onze buurplaneet moet dus een zuurstofrijke atmosfeer hebben gehad. Samen met de aanwijzingen dat er vroegere meren zijn geweest, toont dit opnieuw aan hoeveel de Rode Planeet ooit op de onze heeft geleken, zeggen de vorsers.
Pluto heeft waarschijnlijk een oceaan, verstopt op honderden kilometers diepte. Dat valt op te maken uit metingen van de Amerikaanse sonde New Horizons. Het onderzoek staat in het belangrijke wetenschapsblad Geophysical Research Letters.
De New Horizons vloog vorig jaar langs Pluto en maakte veel foto's en deed metingen. Daaruit blijkt dat de dwergplaneet scheuren en breuklijnen in het oppervlak heeft. Die scheuren zijn honderden kilometers lang en tot wel vier kilometer diep.
IJskoud De enige plausibele verklaring voor de barsten is een ondergrondse oceaan, die aan het bevriezen is door de ijzige kou aan de rand van ons zonnestelsel. De zwaartekracht is te gering om zulke scheuren te veroorzaken. En een ijsmassa die al helemaal bevroren is, zou compacter zijn en minder plek innemen, waardoor Pluto kleiner zou zijn.
Dwergplaneet "We concluderen dat de oceaan niet helemaal bevroren is", zeggen de onderzoekers. "De mogelijkheid dat er oceanen van vloeibaar water zijn op zo'n afstand van de zon is ongelofelijk".
Pluto is de grote onbekende in ons zonnestelsel. Hij is zo klein en staat zo ver weg, dat hij pas in 1930 werd ontdekt, veel later dan de planeten. Pluto was eerst de negende planeet in ons zonnestelsel, maar in 2006 werd hij gedegradeerd tot dwergplaneet, tot ongenoegen van sommige wetenschappers.
Contingency plans in the event of there ever being a first contact with an alien civilization aren’t just the work of science fiction authors, there are actual government-sanctioned, reviewed, and adopted protocols for eventualities that might occur should humans ever meet another space-faring intelligence (or communicate with beings from other worlds).
One Scot scientist has rewritten the standard protocols for first contact, the first such revision since 1989. But those new protocols have come with an unexpected price: He has been inundated with communications of a more Earthly and disturbing nature — the unfortunate recipient of messages from members of the UFO conspiracy theory crowd and the aliens-among-us believers, individuals he describes as “varying levels of mental health.”
Deadline News Agency reported on July 1 that Dr. Duncan Forgan, an astrophysicist at St. Andrews University in St. Andrews, Scotland, was charged with developing the protocols of just how the rest of humanity should be told about making contact with extraterrestrials. Working under the auspices of the research institute SETI (the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence), Forgan developed parameters by which authorities and/or concerned agencies should be made aware of the existence of alien life forms. Given that interpersonal and general communications practices have expanded to a 24/7 news cycle, never-ending informational feeds via various telecommunications methods, and the person-to-person and person-to-group interconnectivity available now through social media outlets, his was the burden of attempting to find some way to tell humanity it was not alone in the universe without causing widespread — even worldwide — panic.
Dr. Forgan’s work new guide, “#FoundThem- 21st Century Pre-Search and Post-Detection SETI Protocols for Social and Digital Media,” was published in May. Although alien life, the existence of extraterrestrials (whether intelligent or not), has always been a controversial topic, the astrophysicist was quite unprepared to see his e-mail in-box loaded with queries and accusations concerning UFOs and grand governmental conspiracy theories. He was also unprepared for those alien enthusiasts that believe they (themselves) are aliens among humans and were contacting him in an effort to return home — to whichever alien world from which they believed they originated.
Forgan says his “spam folder is quite a treat.” And the UFO and alien enthusiasts aren’t shy about what they think, nor are they restrained in speculative accusations and positing conspiracy theories.
“We’ve been accused of putting out this information because we’ve already found it out and the government are trying to cover it up. A lot of it is quite generic – ‘You would say that because you’re part of the cabal’.”
Dr. Forgan has been accused of one participating in an “ivory tower moon landing [conspiracy] theory.” But then there are those — self-described extraterrestrials living among us humans — who simply want his help returning to their home planet.
He recalled “one person saying they had invented a perpetual motion machine and he would give me the blueprints, and his reasoning was he had been sent to earth to wait for the next stage of evolution and he had got bored of waiting.” Forgan added, “He broke the prime directive because he wanted to go home.”
Note: The Prime Directive is a fictional overriding regulation regarding first contact in the science fiction television series “Star Trek.” It outlines the forbidding of interfering in any way with an alien civilization’s evolution that might in any way influence that species’ indigenous and cultural development.
Conspiracy theories and Earth-trapped aliens aside, it should be noted that scientists at Cornell University tweaked the Drake Equation with the Fermi Paradox and Copernicus’ Mediocrity Principle to determine that yes, there is assuredly intelligent alien life in the universe, but given that vast distances and the probable rise of extraterrestrials to the communicable stage make communication with such alien intelligence difficult, it could well be as many as 1,500 years before first alien contact with intelligent life occurs.
By then Dr. Duncan Forgan’s new guide to breaking the news of first alien contact with humanity will likely have undergone a few changes.
Two young Siberians filmed a mysterious bright, shell-shaped UFO flying through the night sky over Siberia.
Footage uploaded to YouTube shows the strange UFO as it floated in the sky over Cherlak, in the Cherlaksky District of Omsk Oblast in Siberia, Russia, on Wednesday, June 29, 2016, according to the Siberian Times.
The video shows the strange object dancing or “flouncing” unsteadily in the air, suggesting that the person filming the UFO was moving his hands constantly.
But Siberian Times reports that Peter Mironov, 22, insisted that he kept his camera still while filming the object in the air. He said he held the camera firm as he recorded the UFO flying over Cherlak on Wednesday.
He suggested that the UFO appeared to dance or “flounce” in the air because it was a “kind of flame.”
“Here it is. Wow. I’m filming it. Look, it flounces. Look, we do not see this but the camera does,” he speaks excitedly in the video. “No, I’m not shaking the camera, I’m holding it firm. Look, it’s a kind of flame. You see the ball. It is cone-shaped, and we’re not seeing this with our eyes.”
According to Mironov’s girlfriend, Tatiana Kopylova, 23, who uploaded the strange footage to YouTube, they observed several shell-shaped UFOs that appeared to shape-shift or change shape from cone to diamond shape as they flew over the Irtysh River for about two hours.
“Look, it’s a kind of flame. You see the ball. It is cone-shaped, and we’re not seeing this with our eyes.”
Some viewers expressed skepticism, pointing out that Tatiana’s YouTube channel indicates that she has an interest in UFO phenomenon and that she may have faked the video to gain attention. Others suggested the pair had probably filmed a quadcopter, a laser pointer or a Chinese lantern.
However, the seemingly baffling sighting may have a simple explanation, according to a Siberian astronomer, Vladimir Krupko.
According to Krupko, it appears that the young pair had actually filmed a starry sky and that the cameraman had focused closely on a bright star or satellite. The appearance or shape of the star or satellite was distorted by the fact that it was filmed “using close up,” Krupko explained.
“I’m sure that we see a starry sky being filmed. But there is a lack of information on the time of the shooting,” Krupko said. “This and the fact that they filmed the video using ‘close-up’ doesn’t allow me to say which part of the sky was filmed.”
“I’m sure that this was a bright star filmed close-up. That is why it appeared as some strange cone-shaped or diamond shaped object,” the astronomer continued. “It moves because the camera moves in the hand of the cameraman. At high magnifications all the tiny shifts are visible.”
“I’m sure that this was a bright star filmed close-up. That is why it appeared as some strange cone-shaped or diamond shaped object.”
But UFO blogger Scott C. Waring rejected the astronomer’s explanation. Commenting on his weird UFO Sightings Daily blog, the veteran UFO and alien hunter insisted, predictably, that the object was a fast moving UFO that has been seen over several locations in the world.
“This is a UFO, and it has been seen around the world and moving about at high speed,” he wrote.
“No, this is not a planet or star, it is a UFO. I personally have seen it over Taiwan,” he added.
The UFO hunter referred readers to an identical footage he captured over Taiwan on July 29, 2013 (see below) using “a Sony Full HD, HDR-CX380 with a 55X extended zoom and a 30X optical zoom.”
He had uploaded the footage to YouTube on August 14, 2013 (see below).
“Awesome catch, I recorded the same UFO here in Taiwan two years ago.”
According to Waring, the UFO he captured over Taiwan was identical to another captured over Kunming, China, on the same day, July 29, 2013 (see below).
Footage showing the apparently shell-shaped UFO hovering over Kunming in China went viral on Chinese social media at the time.
A similar UFO — a “glowing ball of light” — was also filmed descending on the Dome of The Rock In Israel in 2011 (see below).
The incident was witnessed by thousands and many believed it was an “angel of the Lord” visiting the temple.

Vertrouwelijke memo: “UFO gevonden in Canadese provincie Saskatchewan”
Vertrouwelijke memo: “UFO gevonden in Canadese provincie Saskatchewan”
Een topgeheim document dat is gelekt door een UFO-onderzoeker wordt gezien als het eerste overtuigende bewijs dat delen van een vliegende schotel op aarde zijn gevonden.
Tijdens de eerste Canadese hoorzitting over UFO’s in Ontario openbaarde Victor Viggiani een vertrouwelijke memo die dateert van 14 november 1968. De memo gaat over een UFO die is gevonden in het noorden van de Canadese provincie Saskatchewan.
Metalen fragment
Op 17 oktober dat jaar zou ene J. Hodges van de Canadese National Research Council een ‘metalen fragment’ hebben afgeleverd dat was gevonden door een piloot. Het fragment was gevonden in het gebied rond Wollaston Lake.
Uit onderzoek is vervolgens gebleken dat het fragment waarschijnlijk onderdeel is geweest van een vaartuig dat door de ruimte reisde. De autoriteiten waren op de hoogte van de vondst, aldus de memo.
Foto’s
Het is onduidelijk of er nog meer onderzoek is gedaan naar het stuk metaal. Er zouden ook foto’s van zijn gemaakt, maar die zijn nog niet opgedoken. UFO-onderzoekers zien het als bewijs dat de aarde is bezocht door intelligente aliens.
Sceptici stellen dat het mogelijk gaat om een onderdeel van een satelliet of een raket die door mensen is gelanceerd en vervolgens is opgebrand in de atmosfeer.
DE ZEVEN MEEST VREEMDE DINGEN DIE IN DE LUCHT ZIJN WAARGENOMEN
DE ZEVEN MEEST VREEMDE DINGEN DIE IN DE LUCHT ZIJN WAARGENOMEN
Alhoewel de wetenschap z'n uiterste best doet om voor alle dingen die in onze luchten gebeuren een “logische verklaring” te geven, slagen ze daar dikwijls niet in.
Vreemde lichten, dito geluiden en bovenal een scala aan vreemde vliegende objecten in onze lucht zorgen ervoor dat diezelfde wetenschap steeds vreemdere verklaringen moet bedenken.
Wanneer die waarnemingen gebeuren door een doorsnee Telegraaflezer, neemt niemand dat serieus. Maar, wanneer gedaan door werknemers van een luchtvaartmaatschappij op een druk internationaal vliegveld is het opeens een ander verhaal en luistert iedereen.
Dat was het geval in 2006 op het O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, toen medewerkers van United Airlines een vreemd vliegend object boven het vliegveld waarnamen.
Daarmee hebben we dan de eerste van de zeven merkwaardige en onverklaarbare zaken in de lucht.
In het geval van Chicago waren het professionals die allemaal getuigden dat ze nog nooit iets dergelijks hadden meegemaakt.
Na enige tijd vertrok het object met een fenomenale snelheid en liet als het ware een gat achter in de wolken. Er is nooit een “normale verklaring” gekomen voor dit fenomeen.
Op nummer twee op de lijst van vreemde dingen in de lucht staat iets dat niet direct zichtbaar is zoals een licht of een UFO, maar wel door miljoenen mensen inmiddels is opgemerkt.
Dat zijn de vreemde angstaanjagende en soms hele harde vreemde geluiden in de lucht. Ook hier is nog nooit enige wetenschappelijke verklaring voor gevonden en hoewel het voor ons duidelijk is dat dit te maken heeft met de komst van de planeet Nibiru is het voor veel mensen nog een onbekend iets waar ze soms behoorlijk angstig van worden.
Op de derde plaats staat een vreemd object dat vorige maand is ontdekt en dat inmiddels bekendstaat als het Ohio object en waarover wij eerder schreven:
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.
Helemaal bijzonder is dat dit object is waargenomen bij de Wright-Patterson Airforce Base, precies het vliegveld dat bekendstaat als dé plaats waar het Amerikaanse leger buitenaardse dingen doet en/of onderzoekt.
Het vierde vreemde onverklaarbare fenomeen dat zich op verschillende plaatsen heeft voorgedaan zoals op 1 juni 2016 in Kaweru in Nieuw Zeeland is dat van de dansende lichten in de lucht.
Het ziet er een beetje uit zoals op de volgende foto en ook hier heeft niemand nog een verklaring voor kunnen vinden. De opname hieronder is gmaakt vorig jaar in het Amerikaanse Indiana.
In de streek rond de Russische stad Perm zijn ieder jaar zo’n honderdduizend bezoekers te verwachten omdat er in die streken regelmatig vreemde waarnemingen in de lucht worden gedaan.
Eén zo’n waarneming en de vijfde op onze lijst, vond plaats in maart 2015 toen er het volgende te zien was boven de stad.
Het zou een mogelijke raketlancering kunnen zijn, maar klaarblijkelijk wordt dat van overheidswege ontkend. Men vindt dit allemaal heel vreemd omdat er negen dagen later in de Moscow Times een bericht verschijnt waarin melding wordt gemaakt van een vreemde sinkhole met een doorsnede van ongeveer 20 meter die in de buurt zou zijn ontstaan.
Hiervoor wordt verder geen enkele verklaring gegeven, waardoor veel mensen de twee gebeurtenissen met elkaar in verband brengen.
Op de zesde plaats staat de vreemde verschijning van Maria in het Portugese plaatsje Fatima aan de drie herderskinderen Lucia, Francesco en Jacintha in de zomer van 1917.
Wanneer Maria belooft over dertien dagen terug te komen, gebeurt dat ook en is een grote menigte getuige van een vreemde dansende zon in de lucht.
Ook zou Maria drie geheimen hebben gegeven aan de drie kinderen, waarvan het derde en laatste geheim van Fatima wel eens betrekking zou kunnen hebben op de komst van de planeet Nibiru zoals wij eerder schreven.
Als laatste een gebeurtenis die plaatsvond op 7 juli 2015 toen een Boeing 747 van Virgin Atlantic vertrok van het JFK vliegveld van New York/Amerika.
Zoals te zien op de afbeelding komt er een UFO gevaarlijk dicht in de buurt van het toestel. De snelheid van het object is dermate hoog dat het zelfs het vliegtuig inhaalt om vervolgens in het niets te verdwijnen.
Er zullen ongetwijfeld nog meer onverklaarbare zaken hebben plaats gevonden in het luchtruim, maar de bovenstaande gevallen behoren zeker tot de meest bijzondere.

Alien Starship 2X Larger Than Earth Seen Skimming Suns Surface, June 30, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: June 30, 2016 Location of sighting: Suns surface Source: NASA/SOHO camera EIT 171, 01:00 I caught this cool looking UFO in a NASA photo of our sun the other day. The thing that stood out the most was the ship itself had a five pointed star on it, but below it there was an extended bow that became more and more narrow until it hit a flat nose area. I thought it was beautiful and very geometrically balanced. If you thought that was strange, it only gets deeper. You see, this ship is 2X bigger than Earth. As you can see, the ship is glowing a whitish color, due to the intense heat, so yeah...its feeling it a bit. But it could just be the suns reflection off of its metallic surface. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Yes this is a UFO, and its been seen around the world and moving about at high speed. No this is not a planet or star, its a UFO. I personally have seen it over Taiwan(Click here) a few years ago and got a great video of it just a week after it was seen over China. I love it. Its very similar to the glowing ball of light that defended over Dome of The Rock...in Isreal. It happened at night, infant of tens of thousand of eyewitnesses with dozens of video from the tourists at different angles. (Video below). Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: The bright light allegedly seen in the night sky on 29 June sometimes seemed circular, other times long and narrow, if not square, as it flounced around the sky. Later it appeared to remain more still. The man who filmed the 'visitation' over Cherlak, Petr Mironov, 22, insisted he did not move the camera, and said it was the 'UFO' that was shaking. On the bizarre video, he says: 'Here it is. Wow. I'm filming it. Look, it flounces. Look, we do not see this but the camera does. No, I'm not shaking the camera, I'm holding it firm. 'Look, it's a kind of flame. You see the ball. It is cone-shaped, and we're not seeing this with our eyes.' The footage was uploaded by his girlfriend Tatiana Kopylova, 23, whose social media shows she has an interest in UFOs. According to her, a number of cone- or diamond-shaped objects were seen flying over the Irtysh River for about two hours. They faded and flared up again in the night sky. Scepticism is high on the couple's sighting, even if it is hard to match some of the theories seeking to explain the bizarre object. (More at source.)

Conspiracy theories will always fascinate us for many years to come. The exciting part of Conspiracy theory is that it gives us information that not too many people know, or not everyone is going to believe. It usually connects to the UFO. In July of 1965, Maurice Masse, a farmer in In Valensole, France claimed seeing two children standing in the field. Masse noticed an unusual object close by when he approached the alleged “children.”
Maurice Masse
As described, the children have large bald heads, slanted huge eyes, and pasty faces. He added that the children wore coveralls, and one of them was carrying a tube-like tool. Masse claimed that a strange object hit him which disabled him. At first, he was reluctant to report his incident, but later on, he did. In an interview, a drawing representative of an object was submitted to Maurice. The object shows how it landed in New Mexico and was seen by policeman Lonnie Zamora, who made a sketch later.
According to the farmer, he cannot grow anything in the incident’s area for years to come. Despite the strong proof and testimony, neither the Zamora more Masse case has proven extraterrestrial being’s existence. Particularly, in the Zamora case, it is not certain that some unusual space craft with occupants did land. Dr. J. Allen Hynek offers no explanation for Zamora’s sighting, but he believes every word that he said. There is nothing wrong with believing someone else’s thoughts, but the danger is when you induce the people to believe, with all the best efforts, that the alleged sighting was indeed some extraterrestrial beings.
What if Zamora’s evidence is weak, and the phenomenon is not extraterrestrial in origin? Irrespective of the facts, we can always create a hypothesis because they were no conclusions yet.
The document discloses that part of a "vehicle from outer space" was found by a pilot.
Yesterday Express.co.uk revealed how a top UFO researcher had dared the US Government to charge him after he went public with his own Wikkileaks of 11 pages of top-secret explosive UFO files from American and Canada.
Among the papers Victor Viggiani revealed at the first Canadian National Inquiry into UFOs in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, was a confidential memo dated November 14 1968.
The Criminal Investigation Burea (CIB) F Division document was headlined "Re UFO found in Northern Saskatchewan".
The document said on October 17 the same year, a Mr J Hodges regional representative, of the associate committee on meteorites of the National Research Council of Canada, had taken a "small metal fragment" which was found by an unnamed pilot to the Crime Detection Laboratory.
It said it was found in the Wollaston Lake area, 450 miles northeast of Prince Albert, near the Manitoba border.
Examination revealed the exhibit had likely formed part of a vehicle that travelled in outer space.
CIB memo
The document said: "Examination revealed the exhibit had likely formed part of a vehicle that travelled in outer space."
It is unclear what further examination was carried out on the object, but the memo said that Mr Hodges was due to take it to the National Research Council in Ottowa.
Photographs are understood to have been taken, but have yet to resurface.
UFO investigators are treating the document as significant in the history of the quest for proof that Earth is visited by intelligent aliens.
But sceptics have argued without further information, there is nothing to suggest it may not have been part of a satellite or space rocket that had been sent into noter space by humans and then re-entered our atmosphere.

NORAD documents reveal 75 UFO intercepts annually
NORAD documents reveal 75 UFO intercepts annually
by Roger Marsh
Victor Viggiani
North America’s Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tracks an average of 1,800 UFOs annually and intercepts about 75 times each year, according to Canadian Access to Information Act (AIA) documents recently released to UFO Disclosure Advocate Victor Viggiani.
No one at NORAD is saying these were UFOs – but instead, they refer to unidentified objects as Tracks of Interest (TOI) or Unknown Tracks.
Viggiani spoke Saturday night, June 25, 2016, at the Alien Cosmic Expo in Ontario, Canada, and copied panel members on the 11 documents he is in possession of.
NORAD is the North American Aerospace Defense Command – a combined U.S. and Canada organization – that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and defense of North America. NORAD is located at Peterson Air Force Base near Colorado Springs, CO.
In response to Viggiani’s request for documents pertaining to NORAD tracking or intercepting UFOs, a letter from NORAD Operations details how requests for information on Unknown Tracks cannot be released due to their sensitive nature due to national security. But the letter does provide a summation from the NORAD Commander.
“However, the NORAD Commander has approved the release of the following information regarding Tracks of Interest (TOI) and Unknown Tracks. The yearly average in the past five years has been 1,800 TOIs and 75 intercepts.”
In addition to this letter, Viggiani also received a six-page document as an example of a TOI.
Reached at his home in Toronto today, Viggiani said this particular document is very revealing, but also leaves a number of unanswered questions.
The document is a NORAD status report, which uses a line-item approach as details are available to be reported. Some of the lines are redacted or blocked out so that they cannot be seen. In one area they outline how an intercept was ordered on three objects.
“The missing information,” Viggiani said, “is obviously what did they see when they intercepted?”
Viggiani is the News Director of international news service Zland Communications. From his biography:
“His study of anomalous aerial phenomenon, research and analysis of Extraterrestrial issues spans over 30 years. His experience involves UFO sightings report investigation, academic and radio journalism with a primary focus on UFO/ET government Disclosure. Victor has addressed the media and audiences in Sydney and Brisbane Australia, Washington D.C., at the Washington D.C. National Press Club, CBC and CTV Toronto television news programs and at Convocation Hall University of Toronto. Victor is a co-host on the Richard Syrett Show on AM 740 Radio in Toronto.”
The 11 documents – including 15 pages – can be seen here for review.
One hundred years ago, Albert Einstein had only just published his revolutionary new theory of gravity, atomic nuclei were entirely mysterious, and quantum “theory” was a tissue of guesswork. Superconductivity, the nature of the chemical bond, and the energy source of stars were riddles that baffled physics.
And then there were the unknown unknowns: Big Bang cosmology, black holes, quarks, gluons, the triumph of symmetry and its breaking, radio, television, masers, lasers, transistors, nuclear magnetic resonance, the eruption of microelectronics and telecommunications…and, of course, nuclear bombs. We’ve come a long way. It is safe to say that 100 years ago no one could remotely have anticipated modern physics, and certainly no one did.
A century ago, the Higgs field, seen here in an artist's conception, hadn't even been theorized.
Today we have much deeper understanding of the physical world, providing (I think) a much more stable platform from which to launch futuristic speculations. Indeed, a physicist transported from 50 years ago to today would not be nearly so clueless, and one transported from 25 years ago could get up to speed in short order. So today, thinking 100 years ahead may not be entirely silly.
In any case, for me, the point of thinking about the long-term future of physics is not to generate accurate predictions, as in a business plan. That’s not a realistic goal. Rather, its value is as an exercise in disciplined imagination. It leads us to questions that could be fruitful: What are the weak points in our current understanding and practices? What are the growth areas in technique and capability? And where are the sweet spots where those two meet?
These explorations will take us in two main directions. One, wherein we seek to perfect our understanding of fundamentals, is the direction of depth We will find hidden connections among aspects of the world that at present seem separate: superficially different forces—force and substance, material and spacetime, history and law, information and action, mind and matter. The other, wherein we apply our knowledge, is the direction of growth. We will vastly expand the human sensorium. We will develop self-repairing, self-assembling, and self-reproducing machines will be developed, enabling the emergence of titanic computers and engineering projects. Advanced numerical and quantum simulations, augmenting more sophisticated understanding of matter, will revolutionize chemistry, medicine, and materials science—and usher in the age of quantum intelligence. Artists and scientists will collaborate to create beauty in rich new forms.
Part 1: Unifications
In the past, many of the greatest advances have been unifications of apparently disparate subjects. Among them: Descartes linked algebra and geometry, Galileo and Newton inextricably tied celestial physics with its terrestrial counterpart, Maxwell unified electromagnetism and optics, Einstein and Hermann Minkowski unified space and time.
Less celebrated and more subtle, but especially resonant today, is William Rowan Hamilton’s mathematical unification of mechanics with optics. At its inception, in the 1830s, this was an esthetically pleasing exercise, but one that contained no new physics. Yet 50 years later, Hamilton’s ideas supplied the foundation of statistical mechanics, and 100 years later they became central to quantum theory.
In each of those historic unifications, and several others, the whole proved to be more than the sum of its parts. Unification has been a fruitful, as well as a successful, enterprise. In that spirit, I will now describe seven different sorts of unification that I expect to enrich physics over the next century.
Unification I: Forces
Imagine finding a piece of paper that’s been cut just so. Look below—it has 12 regular pentagons, suggestively connected. Obviously, you’ve stumbled across an object that is meant to be folded up into a dodecahedron.
An object that’s begging to be folded into a dodecahedron.
But suppose some evil spirit erased part of the unfolded dodecahedron to make the following mystery object.
When the preceding object is partially obscured, its meaning is less obvious.
Now it gets harder to recognize what it should be. Most people, perhaps not having thought about dodecahedra recently, wouldn’t know what to make of that peculiar thing. But if you remembered about regular solids and dodecahedra, you might say, “Well, it is very special that we have pentagons, and that they are connected in this particular way, so I guess this is meant to be a dodecahedron, but somebody has erased part of it.” Brilliant deduction! Keep that in mind.
Our Core Theory—what many call the Standard Model—contains the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces and describes an enormous wealth of facts—hard, quantitative realities about the physical world—in a compact set of equations. It would be difficult to exaggerate the precision, the power, or—when you spell it out properly—the beauty of that account. But physicists are not satisfied. Precisely because we’re getting close to nature’s last word, we should judge what we see by high standards.
Scrutinized in that spirit, the Core challenges us to do better. It contains three mathematically similar but independent forces: the strong force (which holds nuclei together), the weak force (which generally governs radioactive decay), and the electromagnetic force. Gravity is a fourth force, which is different in character from the others; we will come back to it shortly. In a coherent description of nature, we would like to have just one rule, one fundamental animating principle. Three (or four) is more than one, so we’re not there yet.
And after we organize the fundamental quarks and leptons into groups—linking those that are connected by the different forces—we get six separate groups, which is way more than we’d like. It’s as if we have been presented with that partial realization of a dodecahedron, with something erased. We would like to make it whole.
The mathematics of the possible symmetry of objects in space gives us just five distinct Platonic solids: the tetrahedron, cube, the octahedron, the icosahedron, and of course the dodecahedron. It prompts us to infer an underlying dodecahedron from partial, distorted evidence. Can we do something similar, to fulfill hidden symmetry latent in the equations of fundamental physics?
We can indeed. There are only a few possibilities for symmetries that perfect the Core, just as there are only a few Platonic solids. We can try them out and see whether any of them fit the bill. As it happens, one candidate does stand out, unifying the known particles and forces most beautifully.¹ If we expand the equations in this way, then there is so much symmetry that all the known forces can be transformed into one other, as can all the known particles. So we really have just one force and just one substance. Awesome!
These bold ideas have already scored a successful prediction. They suggested the existence of tiny but non-zero masses for neutrinos before such masses were observed experimentally. And, as we’ll discuss momentarily, they may provide a quantitative explanation for the relative strengths of the different fundamental forces.
That trinity of success—the “derivation” of the patchwork pattern of substance particles, the prediction of small but non-zero neutrino masses, and, contingently, the quantitative explanation of the relative strengths of the different forces (strong, weak, and electromagnetic)—is, I think, extremely impressive. It is difficult to believe that it is accidental.
The proposed unification of forces, however, raises important challenges. Our unification theories predict events and particles that have not yet been observed.
That’s a good thing! It means that the theories are suggesting ways we might enrich our perception of nature. It also means that they have genuine content—they are “falsifiable”. We can look for those undiscovered particles and events. If they are observed, we will have learned something new about nature. (If not, we will have learned something about ourselves—namely, that we entertained some wrong ideas.) For many of us, this is familiar territory. Within recent memory, neutrinos, gluon jets, charmed quarks, and Higgs particles were unfulfilled promises of the Core itself. Their discovery crowned its triumph.
The missing events are decays of protons. As yet experimenters have not witnessed any, despite heroic efforts. They must, and will, try harder. Unification theory suggests that in 100 years physicists will be awash in proton decay data and theorizing over its finer points.
Unification II: Force and Substance
The unification of forces, even if it were perfected, would leave us with two great particle kingdoms. Technically, these are the fermion and boson kingdoms. More poetically, we may call them the kingdoms of substance (fermions) and of force (bosons).
By postulating that the fundamental equations enjoy the property of supersymmetry, we transcend that division. Supersymmetry postulates profound symmetry between the two kingdoms.
The mathematical transformations of supersymmetry are most vividly described as motion into strange new dimensions: the quantum dimensions of superspace. When a force particle jumps into superspace, it becomes a substance particle. Conversely, when a substance particle jumps into superspace, it becomes a force particle. While many properties, such as electric and color charges, are unaltered by the jump, its mass changes. So we will have, for example, a force (boson) version of electrons called selectrons, Similarly, there are squarks, photinos, gluinos, and so forth.
Can we peer into this superspace, and see those superpartners? Experimenters are now trying to do just that, at the LHC. So far none of those hypothetical superpartners has been observed directly, but promising efforts continue. Meanwhile, there is tantalizing indirect evidence, linked to the unification of forces. We can summarize it in a pair of iconic images:
Without supersymmetry, forces don't unify.
But with supersymmetry (also known as SUSY), forces unify at high energy
Unification of forces requires that the basic strength of those forces should be equal. As we currently observe them, they are not. But it is possible that the inequality is due to the relatively low resolution of our probes. The underlying, most basic forces are blurred by quantum fluctuations—specifically, by fluctuations in the quantum fluids that create and destroy particles. We can calculate the effects of such fluctuations. That is the sort of thing I got the Nobel Prize for. If we take into account the known particles, we find that they don’t lead to accurate force unification. But if we add in blurring due to their (hypothetical) superpartners, the forces unify beautifully.
Gravity, too, comes into focus. As it acts between elementary particles at ordinary energies, gravity is absurdly smaller than the other forces. But gravity responds directly to energy, and we find that when we extrapolate its behavior to the extreme energies where unification of the other three forces occurs, gravity has comparable strength.
This stunning success, which brings fulfillment to both of our first two unifications, cannot be coincidental. Accordingly I think that supersymmetric partners will be observed, well within 100 years. Their study will open up a new golden age for particle physics.
Unification III: Spacetime and Matter
The near-equality of gravity’s strength with the strength of the other forces powerfully suggests that there should be a unified theory including all four forces.
String theory may offer a framework in which such four-force unification can be achieved. A vast amount of work has been done in that direction, so far with inconclusive results. It would be disappointing if string theory does not, in future years, make more direct contact with the reality we observe in our experiments. There are many possibilities, including some hint of additional spatial dimensions, the discovery of fundamental strings themselves (either left over from the Big Bang or produced at accelerators), or the deduction of some known but otherwise mysterious quantity within the Core.²
With more confidence, we can anticipate an “operational” intermingling of matter and spacetime. The age of gravitational wave astronomy is just around the corner.
Because it is difficult for matter to bend space-time significantly, gravitational waves, in general, open a clear window into the most extreme and violent events in the universe. The LIGO II detector, soon to come on line, should have enough sensitivity to pick up signals from neutron star and black hole mergers. Known technology will support future generations of improved gravitational wave detectors.
I expect that gravity waves will evolve into a powerful, versatile tool for astrophysical and cosmological exploration. Many sources will be identified, and our knowledge of neutron stars and black holes will reach new levels of detail.
Unification IV: Evolution and Origin
At present our fundamental laws are dynamical laws. They describe how a given state of the world evolves, with the passage of time, into another. They can also, in principle, be used to extrapolate backward in time.
Those procedures of prediction and reconstruction may become impractical, or impossible, for several reasons. For one, we cannot observe everything in existence. Some parts of the universe are so far away that none of their light has had time to reach us, limiting our view beyond the “horizon.” Another reason, and one that’s closer to home, is that quantum mechanics is a powerful constraint: its primary description of nature, the wave function, cannot be probed without disturbing it. Lastly, small uncertainties in the initial conditions grow in time, aggravating these difficulties. This is what makes it hard to predict weather, for example.
A major part of the art of physics (notably including thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, not to mention the physical branches of engineering) consists in finding ways to work around those limitations. One identifies, amidst the inaccessible and unwieldy complexity of full state description, emergent concepts and objects that evolve in robust, comprehensible ways. With the help of computers, this art will no doubt advance dramatically over the next 100 years, as I’ll discuss further below. But horizons, quantum uncertainty, and sensitivity to small differences in initial conditions can only be finessed, not eliminated.
Practicalities aside, tension between the “God’s-eye” view of reality comprehended as a whole and the “ant’s eye” view of human consciousness, which senses a succession of events in time, is a recurrent theme in natural philosophy.
Since Newton’s time, the ant’s eye view has dominated fundamental physics. We divide the description of the world into dynamical laws that, paradoxically, live outside of time, and initial conditions upon which those laws act. The dynamical laws do not determine which initial conditions describe reality.
That division has been enormously useful and successful pragmatically. But on the other hand, it leaves us far short of a full scientific account of the world as we know it. For the answer, “Things are what they are because they were what they were,” begs the question, “Why were things that way and not any other?”
In the light of relativity theory, the God’s eye view seems, much more natural. There, we learn to consider space-time as an organic whole, whose different aspects are related by symmetries that are awkward to express when experience is carved into time-slices. Hermann Weyl expressed this memorably:
The objective world simply is, it does not happen. Only to the gaze of my consciousness, crawling along the lifeline of my body, does a section of this world come to life as a fleeting image in space which continuously changes in time.
I predict that, in 100 years, Weyl’s vision—which, in essence, goes back to the Greek philosophers Parmenides and Plato—will be fully vindicated, as the fundamental laws will no longer admit arbitrary initial conditions. “What is” and “what happens” will be understood as inseparable aspects of a single, trans-temporal reality.
Unification V: Action and Information
Information plays a large and increasing role in our description of the world. Many of the terms that arise naturally in discussions of information have a distinctly physical character. For example, we commonly speak of density of information and flow of information. Yet on the face of it information is an abstract concept, not tied to specific aspects of physical reality.
Looking deeper, however, we find that there are far-reaching analogies between information and a very specific physical quantity, namely (negative) entropy. This was noted already in Claude Shannon’s original work, where he introduced the modern technical definition of information. Nowadays, many discussions of the microphysical origin of entropy—and of foundations of statistical mechanics in general—start from discussions of information and ignorance. I think it is fair to say that there has already been a unification fusing the physical quantity entropy and the conceptual quantity information.
Entropy, in turn, has mysterious connections to the basic quantity, action, that we use to formulate our most fundamental laws of physics. Very roughly speaking, action is what you get from entropy when you allow time to become animaginary number. Unfortunately, existing proofs of that connection are indirect and technically involved. In other words, we don’t yet understand it properly.
I suspect that the connection goes very deep, and that over the next century fundamental action principles, and thus the dynamical laws of physics, will be re-interpreted as statements about information and its transformations.
Unification VI: Mind and Matter
Although many details remain to be elucidated, it seems fair to say that metabolism and reproduction, two of the most characteristic features of life, are now broadly understood at the molecular level as physical processes. Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA’s structure, put forward the “astonishing hypothesis” that it will be possible to bring understanding of basic psychology, including biological cognitive processing, memory, motivation, and emotion, to a comparable level.
One might call that “reduction” of mind to matter. But mind is what it is, and what it is will not be diminished for being physically understood. I’d be thrilled to understand how I work—what a trip!
To me, it seems both prettier and more sensible to regard the astonishing hypothesis as anticipating the richness of behavior that matter can exhibit. Given the astonishing thing that physics has taught us matter is, I’m confident it is up to the job.
In 100 years, biological memory, cognitive processing, motivation, and emotion will be understood at the molecular level. And if physics evolves to describe matter in terms of information, as we discussed earlier, a circle of ideas will have closed. Mind will have become more matter-like, and matter will have become more mind-like.
Part 2: Vistas in Technology
Making Things (Micro)
The quantum revolution gave this revelation: We’ve finally learned what matter is. The Core Theory completes, for practical purposes, the analysis of matter. Using it, we can deduce what sorts of atomic nuclei, atoms, molecules—and stars—exist. And we can reliably orchestrate the behavior of larger assemblies of these elements, to make transistors, lasers, or Large Hadron Colliders. The equations of the Core Theory have been tested with far greater accuracy, and under far more extreme conditions, than are required for applications in chemistry, biology, engineering, or astrophysics. While there certainly are many things we don’t understand, we do understand the matter we’re made from and that we encounter in normal life—even if we’re chemists, engineers, or astrophysicists.
Are there materials that will support space elevators? Are there room temperature superconductors? Can we re-invigorate Moore’s Law? Those questions, and any number of others, will become accessible as computers do for chemistry what they have already done for aircraft design: supplementing and ultimately supplanting laboratory experimentation with computation. Calculation will increasingly replace experimentation in the design of useful materials, catalysts, and drugs, empowering greater efficiency and new opportunities for creativity.
As conventional chemistry becomes supercharged, the frontier of controlled miniaturization will advance by many orders of magnitude. In recent years, we have seen the beginnings of first-principles nuclear physics.³ Very recently, a major landmark was reached as the neutron-proton mass difference was calculated with decent accuracy. Calculation of many nuclear properties from fundamentals will reach < 1% accuracy, allowing much more accurate modeling of supernovae and of neutron stars. Physicists will learn to manipulate atomic nuclei dexterously, as they now manipulate atoms. This will enable, for example, ultra-dense energy storage and ultra-high energy lasers.
Making Things (Meso)
Present-day mainstream computers are essentially two-dimensional. They are based on chips that must be produced under exacting clean room conditions since any fault can be fatal to their operation. If they are damaged, their loss of function is permanent.
Human brains differ in all those respects: they are three-dimensional, they are produced in messy, loosely-controlled conditions, and they can work around faults or injuries. There are strong incentives to achieve those features in systems that retain the density, speed, and scalability of semiconductor technology, and there is no clear barrier to doing so. Thus, capable three-dimensional, fault-tolerant, self-repairing computers will be developed in the next 100 years. In engineering those features, we will also learn lessons relevant to neurobiology.
In a similar vein, we may aspire to make body-like machines as well as brain-like computers. We will develop self-assembling, self-reproducing, and autonomously creative machines. Their design will adapt both ideas and physical modules from the biological world.
Making Things (Macro)
Combining those ideas, we will enable bootstrap engineering: Machines, starting from crude raw materials—and with minimal human supervision—will build other sophisticated machines. This strategy can support exponentially ambitious projects, such as the conversion of vast deserts into titanic computers (as imagined by Olaf Stapledon) and gigantic energy collectors (as imagined by Freeman Dyson).
Freeman Dyson famously imagined “Dyson spheres,” whereby all or most of the energy of a star would be captured by a surrounding shell or a cloud of interceptors, for use by an advanced technological civilization. While that remains a distant prospect, the capture and use of a substantial part of solar energy impinging on Earth may be a necessity for human civilization as we wean ourselves from carbon fuels.
Fortunately, it seems eminently feasible that, within 100 years, we will channel a substantial fraction of the sun’s ambient energy to our own purposes.
Enhanced Sensoria
Human perception leaves a lot on the table. Consider, for example, color vision.
Whereas the electromagnetic signals arriving at our eyes contain a continuous range of frequencies, and also polarization, what we perceive as “color” is a crude hash encoding, where the power spectrum is lumped into three bins and polarization is ignored. Compared our perception of sound, where we do a proper frequency analysis and can appreciate distinct tones within chords, it is impoverished. Also, we are insensitive to frequencies outside the visible range, including ultraviolet and infrared. Many other animals do finer sampling. There is valuable information about our natural environment—not to mention possibilities for data visualization and art—to be gained by expanding color perception.
Modern microelectronics offers attractive possibilities for accessing this information. By appropriate transformations, we can encode it in our existing channels in a sort of induced synesthesia. We will vastly expand the human sensorium, opening the doors of perception.
Physicists often, and rightly, admire the beauty of their concepts and equations. On the other hand, humans are intensely visual creatures. It will be fruitful, and great fun, to use modern resources of signal processing and computer graphics to translate the beautiful concepts and equations of physics into new forms of art. Then, physicists will be able to bring their visual cortices fully to bear on them, and people in general will be able to admire and enjoy them. In the future, artists and scientists will work together more together, and create new works of extraordinary beauty.
Quantum Sensoria, Quantum Minds
Quantum mechanics reveals other unseen riches. Perhaps the most characteristic quantum effect, which expands its state space exponentially, is entanglement. But entanglement is both delicate and (since it involves correlations) subtle to observe, so our exploration of that central feature of the quantum world is only now properly commencing. New kinds of observables will open to view, and new states of matter will be revealed. Measurement of entanglement, and measurement exploiting entanglement, will become major branches of physics.
Quantum computing requires detailed control of entanglement, and the diagnostics of quantum computing will call on techniques to measure entanglement.⁴ Quantum computers supporting thousands of qubits will become real and useful.
Artificial intelligence, in general, offers strange new possibilities for the life of mind. An entity capable of accurately recording its state could purposefully enter loops to relive especially enjoyable episodes, for example. A quantum mind could experience the superposition of “mutually contradictory” states or allow different parts of its wave function to explore vastly different scenarios in parallel. Being based on reversible computation, such a mind could revisit the past at will and could be equipped to superpose past and present.
And who knows, maybe a quantum mind will even understand quantum mechanics!
This piece is adapted from a more technical presentation, “Physics in 100 Years,” which is available at the arXiv. In my forthcoming book, A Beautiful Question (Penguin), several of the ideas sketched here are considered treated more deeply and developed further.

Alien-like sea creature discovered 12,139-feet deep near Mariana Trench
Alien-like sea creature discovered 12,139-feet deep near Mariana Trench
Published on May 1, 2016
Alien-like jellyfish found near the Mariana Trench resembles a ghost from arcade game Pac-Man. A glowing, alien-like sea creature that slightly resembles the ghost in the arcade game Pac-Man was spotted by researchers as it floated by their underwater camera during the 2016 Deepwater Exploration of the Mariana Trench this week.
The bizarre sea creature was discovered by NOAA’s Okeanos Explorer on Dive 4 at 12,139 feet on the Enigma Seamount near the Mariana Trench (known as the deepest part of the world’s oceans with a maximum depth of 36,070 feet). It is located near Guam in the western Pacific Ocean. Latest Uploads From The Cosmos News https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
Juno-update: magnetisch veld bereikt, nieuwe foto & radiostilte
Juno-update: magnetisch veld bereikt, nieuwe foto & radiostilte
Tim Kraaijvanger
De Juno-ruimtesonde heeft op 24 juni de magnetosfeer van Jupiter bereikt. Binnen de magnetosfeer wordt de beweging van deeltjes in de ruimte bepaald door wat er in de kern van de gasplaneet gebeurt.
“We zijn nu op het erf van Jupiter”, zegt onderzoeker Scott Bolton. “We reizen razendsnel naar deze planeet en verzamelen nu al interessante data.”
De grens van de magnetosfeer is duidelijk terug te zien in de data. Een paar dagen geleden vloog Juno nog door een omgeving met één deeltje per kubieke centimeter. In de magnetosfeer van Jupiter zweven er honderd keer zo weinig deeltjes in de ruimte. Dit geldt overigens alleen voor het gebied kort na de grens. Dichter bij Jupiter neemt het aantal deeltjes per kubieke centimeter weer toe.
Nieuwe foto Op 28 juni maakte het ruimtevaartuig nog een schitterende foto van Jupiter en drie van de vier grootste Joviaanse manen. De Grote Rode Vlek is al duidelijk te zien op Jupiter, net als enkele donkerbruine wolkenbanden. Daarnaast zijn de manen Europa, Io en Ganymedes geen stipjes meer, maar bolletjes.
Radiostilte Gisteravond om 21:15 uur is voor het laatst een commando verzonden naar de Juno-ruimtesonde. Het ruimtevaartuig schakelde succesvol over op de automatische piloot en zal de komende dagen zelfstandig bepaalde acties uitvoeren. De belangrijkste manoeuvre is het opstarten van de stuwraket op 5 juli tijdens de aankomst bij Jupiter. Of dit lukt? Dat weten we pas dinsdag!
Een kolonie starten op Mars is geen leuk, vrijblijvend onderzoeksprojectje. Het gaat ooit gewoon gebeuren. Maar is het op korte termijn ook echt al haalbaar?
Veel mensen zijn ervan overtuigd dat onze soort uiteindelijk deze planeet in gaat ruilen voor een andere planeet, waarschijnlijk Mars. Op de vraag waarom we de aarde achter ons zouden laten, klinkt dan vaak het argument van ‘totale vernietiging’. We maken onze planeet kapot, putten deze uit en zullen uiteindelijk genoodzaakt zijn om elders onze tenten op te slaan. Maar als we de gerenommeerde journalist Stephen L. Petranek moeten geloven zal dat niet het voornaamste argument zijn om de aarde achter te laten. Nee, de voornaamste reden is geld. “We zullen gaan om dezelfde reden als Spanjaarden die naar de Nieuwe Wereld trokken en boeren die naar Sutter’s Mill in Californië gingen: om rijk te worden,” zo schrijft hij in zijn fascinerende boekje ‘Hoe we zullen leven op Mars‘. “Sommigen zullen geld verdienen door anderen erheen te brengen.” Anderen zullen het waarschijnlijk als een uitvalsbasis gebruiken voor verdere verkenning en exploitatie van planetoïden. “In de planetoïdengordel tussen Mars en Jupiter bevinden zich delfstoffen ter waarde van 100 miljard dollar voor elke huidige aardbewoner.”
Met z’n tienduizenden naar Mars Reden genoeg om naar de rode planeet te vertrekken, zou je zo denken. Maar is het starten van een kolonie op Mars wel haalbaar? Al heel wat knappe koppen hebben zich over dat vraagstuk gebogen. Elon Musk bijvoorbeeld. Oprichter van SpaceX en gespecialiseerd in het doen van het onmogelijke (bijvoorbeeld in krap tien jaar tijd een ruimteschip ontwikkelen en naar het ISS sturen). Hij ziet het werkelijk al voor zich: een kolonie op Mars. Het vervoerssysteem dat de eerste mensen daar moet brengen, zou voor 2030 klaar moeten zijn. En tussen 2030 en 2050 kunnen dan tien expedities worden georganiseerd en tienduizenden mensen op de rode planeet worden afgezet. Uiteindelijk ziet Musk zelfs een zwerm ruimtevaartuigen voor zich die in één klap 80.000 mensen op Mars afzetten. En dat om de twee jaar. Voor je het weet, is Mars een planeet met een niet gering aantal bewoners.
Een goeie manier om af te rekenen met de schadelijke straling aan het oppervlak van Mars: de Marsbasis onder de grond aanleggen!

Hindernissen Klinkt geweldig, maar natuurlijk zijn er struikelblokken. Hoe komen we daar aan water? Aan zuurstof? Aan voedsel? En hoe beschermen we ons tegen de gevaarlijke straling die – Mars heeft maar een dunne atmosfeer – het oppervlak bereikt? Dat zijn allemaal hindernissen. Maar wel hindernissen die – met de technologie van vandaag de dag – de komende tijd weggenomen kunnen worden. En mocht één van die hindernissen te hoog zijn, dan kunnen we in het uiterste geval nog overwegen niet Mars aan de mens, maar de mens aan Mars aan te passen, zo oppert Petranek. Wat sleutelen aan de genen van astronauten om te zorgen dat ze beter bestand zijn tegen straling of uit de voeten kunnen met een atmosfeer die grotendeels uit CO2 bestaat. Ingrijpend, maar volgens Petranek moeten we “die krachten aangrijpen om ons voortbestaan veilig te stellen”.

Geld Als we Musk moeten geloven, zijn de eerder genoemde hindernissen – gebrek aan zuurstof, beschikbaarheid van water, straling, noem maar op – niet eens de grootste struikelblokken. Het allergrootste struikelblok is geld. Want naar Mars vliegen, is zeker niet goedkoop. Musk schat dat zijn bedrijf SpaceX voorzichtig winst kan gaan maken op het aanbieden van een enkeltje Mars als een kaartje 500.000 euro kost. Een flink bedrag, maar Musk twijfelt er niet aan dat er genoeg mensen zijn die dat willen en kunnen neertellen. Hij benadrukt nog maar eens dat het om enkeltjes gaat: mensen kunnen dus rustig hun hele hebben en houden op aarde verkopen en vervolgens zo’n enkeltje aanschaffen. Het zijn van die dingen die mensen in hun midlife-crisis zomaar in hun hoofd kunnen halen. En als 1 op de 10.000 of 1 op de 100.000 aardbewoners dat doet, dan wordt het toch een lucratieve handel. Het financieren van zo’n kolonie op Mars is dus lastig, maar niet onmogelijk, zolang er maar genoeg animo is. En animo om voorgoed naar de rode planeet te gaan, is er, zo bleek in 2013. Meer dan 165.000 mensen meldden zich aan bij Mars One, een organisatie die mensen in 2025 op Mars wil zetten (maar volgens Petranek nog altijd de financiering daarvoor niet rond heeft).
Deze artistieke impressie laat zien hoe Mars One zo’n kolonie op Mars voor zich ziet.
Afbeelding: Mars One.
Terug naar de hoofdvraag: mogen we op korte termijn verwachten dat mensen op Mars gaan wonen? Petranek kan niet duidelijker zijn. “Binnen 20 jaar wonen er mensen op Mars.” Hij stelt daarbij zijn vertrouwen met name op Musk. De beste man heeft concrete plannen die weliswaar grootser zijn dan die van elke andere ruimtevaartorganisatie, maar tegelijkertijd ook aardig doordacht zijn. Bovendien moeten we niet vergeten dat Musk wel vaker grootse ideeën op indrukwekkende wijze (en snel!) werkelijkheid liet worden. Het beste voorbeeld is misschien wel zijn Tesla dat lacherig werd ontvangen, maar hard bezig is de elektrische autobranche te veroveren. Maar of het nu Musk wordt. Of Mars One. Of NASA. Naar Mars gaan we. En waarschijnlijk veel sneller dan je denkt.
Kort maar bondig stipt Petranek alle hindernissen en uitdagingen die we onderweg naar een kolonie op Mars kunnen tegenkomen, aan. Maar dat niet alleen: hij legt ook op nuchtere wijze uit dat ge }en van die hindernissen ons werkelijk tegen zullen kunnen houden. Mars, we komen eraan! Petranek is erin geslaagd op een prettig leesbare en laagdrempelige manier de toch wel vrij ingewikkelde weg naar Mars te schetsen en van commentaar te voorzien. En dat allemaal zoals gezegd kort en bondig. Hoe we zullen leven op Mars is namelijk een TED-boekje: bedoeld om in een dagdeel te verslinden. Het is lastig voor te stellen dat je na een middagje van de hoed en de rand weet als het gaat om het koloniseren van Mars, maar het kan echt, zo bewijst Petranek.
One of our favorite photographer’s of space, the Hubble Space Telescope, has just had its contract extended by NASA.
The announcement by NASA will see the Hubble Space Telescope fly for five more years, until June 30, 2021, in a move that will ultimately cost $200 million.
Interesting enough, the more powerful James Webb Space Telescope is set to launch in 2018, meaning that the two will overlap for a few years which is great news for lovers of space.
One of the most intriguing ancient texts, the Tulli Papyrus chronicles one of the earliest mass UFO sightings.
It also has an interesting backstory. In 1933, Alberto Tulli, director of the Egyptology section of the Vatican Museum, discovered a unique papyrus in one of Cairo’s antique shops. Unfortunately, it was priced too high – even for the Vatican – so Tulli resorted to copying down its contents.
When he later returned, the papyrus was gone. Two decades later, Italian Egyptologist Prince Boris de Rachewiltz announced that he had located the original papyrus “untranslated and unpublished.”
The original papyrus has been translated by Boris de Rachewiltz and several others. The content seems to revolve around “circles of fire” that flew through the sky on two separate occasions, separated by a few days.
The so-called “circles of fire” might possibly be explained by natural phenomena; however the interpretation of the text points to “fiery disks” and while incomplete, the ancient papyrus painted a pretty clear picture of mass UFO sightings.
Below Rachewiltz’s translation of the Tulli Papyrus:
In the year 22 third month of winter, sixth hour of the day the scribas of the House of Life found it was a circle of fire that was coming in the sky (Though) it had no head, the breadth of its mouth (had) a foul odour.
Its body 1 rod long (about 150 feet) and 1 rod large, It had no voice… They hearts become confused through it, then they laid themselves on the bellies
They went to the King ..?) to report it. His Majesty ordered – has been examined – as to all which is written in the papyrus-rolls of the House Of Life His Majesty was meditating upon what happened. Now, after some days had passed over these things, Lo! they were more numerous than anything. They were shining in the sky more than the sun to the limits of the four supports of heaven.
Powerful was the position of the fire circles. The army of the king looked on and His Majesty was in the midst of it. It was after supper. Thereupon, they (i.e. the fire circles) went up higher directed to South. Fishes and volatiles fell down from the sky. (It was) a marvel never occurred since the foundation of this Land! Caused His Majesty to be brought incense to pacify the hearth – to what happened in the book of the House of Life – to be remembered?) for the Eternity.
For over four years, the Leon Levy Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Library project has been photographing and digitizing the tens of thousands of tiny remnants of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The scanning is finally completed and a preliminary analysis of previously illegible text has opened the scrolls to new interpretation, starting with a section that describes Noah’s Ark as being pyramid-shaped. Does someone need to notify theCreation Museum and theArk Encounter?
Dr. Alexey Yuditsky of the Leon Levy Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Library project presented some of its findings at the recent Eighth International Symposium on the Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Ben Sira and Related Fields. The researchers used advanced imaging technology from MegaVision to take 28 photographs of each scroll fragment, varying the wavelengths and resolution. At the near-infrared wavelength level, the camera was able to read characters that had become invisible to the naked eye.
The findings on what the newly-found text said will surely cause controversy among biblical scholars and Noah’s Ark fans. Yuditsky says a previously illegible word having to do with “the ark’s tallness” is believed to be “ne’esefet,” which means “gathered.” He believes the writer was describing how the ark’s roof beams gathered or met at a point, forming a pyramid shape. While other writings have also painted the ark as a pyramid, this would be the earliest.
Photographing the scroll fragments
Another sure-to-be controversial fragment that is now readable describes how sins might be forgiven just like monetary debts are forgiven, leading researcher Chanan Ariel to believe it refers to paying money for forgiveness, an activity similar to the medieval practice of indulgence selling, one of the targets of the Protestant Reformation. Is this proof that it may have once been biblically approved?
Before and after image of a Dead Sea Scroll fragment
The new analysis also helps clarify the meaning of vague words like “ptil.” In one of the many sex-related stories in the Old Testament, the book of Genesis tells the tale of Judah having sex with his daughter-in-law who is disguised as a prostitute. He paid her with his “ptil” and two now-legible fragments say that “ptil is his belt.” Now his wife finally knows why he came home smelling like cheap perfume with his pants falling down.
The project is ongoing as Dr. Yuditsky says only 80 percent of the fragments have been scanned for analysis and preservation.
Whatever your beliefs, analyzing and interpreting the 2,000-year-old puzzle that is the Dead Sea Scrolls can be a lot more fun and educational that arguing about whether a pyramid can float and how many dinosaurs it would hold.
“We really had a great show,” Bob told me as the three of us walked up the gravel path toward the Parkview Lodge in Linville Falls, North Carolina.
Before he took his first engineering job with Bell Laboratories decades ago, Bob had worked mostly on weekends as a professional keyboard player in a progressive rock band. However, his musical expertise had little to do with the kind of “show” he was describing for us now.
“In these pictures, you’ll see one of the lights rising steadily over the mountaintop,” Bob’s friend Bill, also a musician of many years, explained. “Bob captured the entire sequence, but in my photo, you’ll actually see where the object changed direction.”
Bob Ashmore and Bill Fox began coming down to Western North Carolina years ago, tagging along with other coworkers who spent their vacation time looking for scenic areas of the Eastern United States where weekend hiking trips were ideal. But that wasn’t all that had drawn the two engineers to the region.
Long exposure photo, taken at night, showing unidentified illumination passing above Table Rock, North Carolina. The date was June 18, at approximately 10:30 PM local time. The Camera was a Canon PowerShot (SX150 IS), with focal length 19.757, F-Stop 4.5, and an exposure setting of 8 seconds. Image by Robert Ashmore, 2016.
“One of the guys on that first trip had a Commander X book,” Bob recalled, referring to a peculiarly kooky book first published back in the 1970s called Underground Alien Bases: Flying Saucers Come From Inside The Earth! (the book can still be purchased onlinehere). “I remember reading through it, and seeing that it talked about a supposed underground base right where we were going!”
The base, as the book alleged, existed underneath Brown Mountain, North Carolina, which had already been recognized as a “UFO hotspot” for decades, due to the anomalous lights that are famously associated with the region. Needless to say, there’s no evidence that any “underground bases” exist beneath Brown Mountain — nor any other localities in the region — although such amusing rumors have been occasionally fueled by periodic Special Forces training operations carried out in the nearby Linville Gorge (a friend of mine, who had undergone training with Green Berets in the region a number of years ago, once described to me the harsh conditions the rugged Linville Gorge provided during such training excursions, which included scouring creeks for crayfish and salamanders in order to survive).
Despite all the silly talk of underground bases, it had been the kernel of possibility that a valid “earth light” phenomenon seemed to be occurring in the region that caught Fox and Ashmore’s attention, giving rise to decades of return visits to try and observe and photograph the region’s mysterious illuminations.
Much the same, it was my own interest in the subject — and one of my many personal visits to the area in search of possible causes for these alleged “earth lights” — that I met the aforementioned Pennsylvania lab workers. To this day, they continue to visit the region with hope of observing the strange nighttime “light shows”, and I often join them to compare notes about what is known, and what remains unknown, about the so-called “Brown Mountain Lights.”
Cropped image above identifies light sources ranging from stars, aircraft, and possible campfires or lanterns on Table Rock, alongside amber-colored source of illumination (see image earlier in this post for detailed camera information). Note the difference in coloration and appearance between aircraft lights and the amber colored object, with elongated appearances on film due to the camera’s 8-second exposure time. Photo by Robert Ashmore, June 18, 2016.
Briefly, to give a bit of background on the broader “earth light” phenomenon, I will cite Sean B. Palmer’s essay “Earth Lights: Spooklights and Ghost Lights“, which gives an authoritative overview of the subject. Of course, it is a theme that has been documented by many others, including physicist William R. Corliss, Paul Devereux (as outlined in the excerpt below), and my own contributions in previous articles and MU posts over the years; Palmer’s definition and brief history of the phenomenon is as follows:
“Earth lights are a rare anomalous light phenomenon, mistaken throughout history as dragons, UFOs, and ball lightning before being recognised as a separate category. One leading theory is that they are produced by tectonic strain in minor fault lines, so that they are literally generated by the earth.
In America they’ve been called “spooklights” or “ghost lights” since at least the 1950s, but Persinger and Lafrenière were the first scientists to recognise the phenomenon, in the late 1970s. The lights were renamed and brought to wider public attention by Paul Devereux in 1982 with his publication “Earth Lights”.
They appear in many colours, shapes, and sizes, though the basketball-sized globular orange variety seems most common. Most sightings occur at night, when some lights can be seen from miles around. They’re reported to be able to move against the wind and reach extraordinary speeds. Their terrestrial nature means that though many sightings are sporadic, there are some locations where they appear relatively often. It’s through studying these hotspots, such as Hessdalen in Norway and the Engligh Pennines, that their characteristics become evident.”
The assessment above is largely informed by the research by British scientists that occurred in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, during which some of the most interesting scientific work pertaining to the earth light phenomenon was undertaken.
The lights seen near Linville, North Carolina, known colloquially as “The Brown Mountain Lights” due to their prevalence near that location, have a history dating back to 1913. Some sources maintain that there are earlier legends about the lights, but despite this long-held rumor, no apparent evidence for this exists. Skeptical researcher Joe Nickel offers the following brief, but quite concise, history of scientific research into the cause of the lights, in his article from earlier this year:
The first known reference to the lights in print was in the September 13, 1913,Charlotte Daily Observer. In 1913 a U.S. Geological Survey geologist concluded the lights were those of locomotives, while a U.S. Weather Bureau report of 1919 explained the phenomenon as an electrical discharge compared to South America’s “Andes Light,” although the writer had not actually visited the site.
The careful reader will note that, while I have disagreed with some of Nickel’s conclusions in the past, I don’t disagree with him on all points. In order to lend a bit of balance to this post, I am comfortable citing Joe’s research here, and unlike many skeptics that write about this subject, Joe has taken the time to travel to Brown Mountain, and put in the hours of field research that many other “experts” on the phenomenon have not (this explains his mention of the U.S. Weather Bureau report above, which likened the Brown Mountain phenomenon to another “spook light”, though the author of that report had not witnessed it firsthand).
And, despite my own numerous visits to the region, I too am one of these individuals that has seen very little which seems to fall into the category of “undeniable proof” of some mysterious phenomena at work. What I have seen, as far as evidence, includes many photographs, and I’ve interviewed at least a dozen or more witnesses over the years who have shared detailed accounts of lights they observed there under a variety of meteorological conditions. To me, this suggests somethingrealis occurring in the region, which bears similarity to lights, similar in behavior to ball lightning, that are observed near Hessdalen, Norway, as well as mysterious illuminations seen at Marfa, Texas, and a variety of other places around the world.
However, the problem with the long-held mystery of the Brown Mountain Lights is that, as we attempt to learn “what the lights are”, we must acknowledge that we are actually dealing with a variety of different sources of illumination, the majority of which have very prosaic underlying sources.
During one of our visits to Wiseman’s View, a popular observation point for light-watchers in the Linville Gorge, Ashmore, Fox and I were accompanied by a number of area locals. At one point, someone exclaimed, “look, there’s one!” and, turning our attention toward the light in question, the object did appear rather unusual… at least while viewed with the naked eye, and at a distance.
“Here”, a voice from behind me said. “Try looking at it through these.” Chris, an off-duty fireman from the nearby Jonas Ridge community, handed me a pair of quality binoculars, and focusing on the light, the enhanced optical conditions they provided clearly revealed the flashing beacon of a small aircraft, which had been obscured by the partly cloudy conditions further away.
I stayed and spoke with Chris afterward, comparing notes about the lights that so many describe seeing. “I’m convinced that 99% of what you see up here is just locals over there on Table Rock and Hawksbill Mountain, playing the Brown Mountain Lights game,” he said. “They’ll get up there with Chinese lanterns, flashlights, Roman candles, and whatever else, just to get a rise out of people.”
Despite his skepticism, Chris was quick to assert that he had had a few of his own observations. “When things are seen, it’s never over here in the Gorge,” he told me. “But I remember a number of years ago, on Christmas Eve, I had been driving down Highway 181 toward Morganton, and as I passed Brown Mountain on my left, there was a very odd light that moved across the side of the mountain. These weren’t orbs, and they didn’t resemble headlights. They moved like blue-white electricity, crackling across the mountain at ground level. They moved too quickly to have been off-road vehicles, and I remember radioing other firefighters on duty that night, who saw them over the course of the evening as well.”
Chris further noted that the lights, whatever they had been, had appeared when it was particularly cold. “The night we observed the lights, I’ll never forget because it was on Christmas Eve, and it got unusually cold that year. I believe the temperature had been about 3 below zero.”
While noting the fact that I’ve never seen something I take to have been an anomalous occurrence in the area, there have still been instances that have caused me to wonder. On one occasion many years ago, I had traveled with two friends to the 181 Overlook, roughly the same area where Chris and the other firefighters had observed the “electric” lights on Christmas Eve several years earlier. High in the sky, I observed an amber-colored light, which was moving slowly over the mountain where we stood, which suddenly blinked out. At the time, I had guessed that a refraction might have occurred, in which I had seen the reflection of distant headlights moving up the mountain, which might explain both the color, as well as sudden “blinking out” as the light vanished. Years later, I also considered that the light might have been the International Space Station, a satellite, or possibly a bit of metallic debris in low-orbit as it entered the Earth’s shadow. However, the amber coloration seems inconsistent with my numerous other observations of the aforementioned orbital objects, which are bright white in appearance, similar to starlight.
Where the “advocates” and the “skeptics” seem to find the most common ground is that, despite the legends about the lights and their various causes, it remains clear that there is no single phenomenon that is recognized as being the “only” source of the Brown Mountain Lights. While a fairly consistent hypothesis has suggested over the years that the “real” lights may be something akin to ball lightning, the majority of the objects seen and photographed near the area likely have more prosaic origins.
Again, as skeptic Joe Nickel wrote earlier this year in his Skeptical Inquirer piece, “The evidence is clear: There is no single explanation because there is no single phenomenon(author’s emphasis). Just as we know that not all UFOs are weather balloons, not all Brown Mountain lights have a single cause.” Despite Nickel’s acceptance that there are a variety of causes underlying reports of the Brown Mountain Lights (he acknowledges the possibility that some are actually ball lightning, too), it is worth noting that the article in which he stated this had been titled, “The Brown Mountain Lights: Solved! (Again!)”. To be fair, there is actual no solution being offered here; instead, there is what I would call an instructional assertion that, while a number of things are seen at Brown Mountain and surrounding areas, no single phenomenon has been accounted for as being “the” supposed light source in question. In truth, most of us appear to agree on that point, regardless of our interpretations of the likelihood of there being a “mystery” at hand.
Image of “Brown Mountain Lights” by Bruce Roberts, circa 1962.
In the end, perhaps there are good questions that can be asked, without having to bring alien craft, ghosts of ancient Native Americans, or inter-dimensional vortexes into the equation; though I have very seldom, if ever, met anyone with a serious interest in the lights who actually asserts that such things are the underlying causes of the illuminations. Both the science-minded skeptics I’ve worked with, as well as the more open-minded amateur researchers, seem to lean toward a ball lightning or “earth light” explanation. If there are indeed any particular factors about the region that cause such illuminations to occur here, and with greater frequency than in other locations, this area may yet provide us with something unique, after all.
For my part, I think there is certainly data that warrants further consideration for the Brown Mountain and Linville light phenomena. If even a minority of the illuminations reported have something to do with environmental conditions that may cause this area to be more “active” than others, it seems it should be worth devoting time for study; whether that relates to an actual source of light, or merely the presence of meteorological conditions that cause an increased potential for refractions, mirages, etc. Either circumstance may offer new clues about our natural world, and what kinds of special conditions might contribute to the broader observation of unidentified lights in our night sky.

“Wapens die krachtiger zijn dan kernwapens”: Er zijn meerdere ‘Area 51’s’
“Wapens die krachtiger zijn dan kernwapens”: Er zijn meerdere ‘Area 51’s’
Er wordt al tientallen jaren gediscussieerd over het bestaan van ondergrondse bases. Al in 1968 deed het Stanford Research Institute onderzoek naar de bouw van tientallen onderzeese bases.
Zijn er naast Area 51 nog andere ondergrondse bases op aarde? In 1987 zei Lloyd A. Duscha van het geniekorps van het Amerikaanse leger tijdens een conferentie: “Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog raakte het geniekorps betrokken bij het ontwerpen en de bouw van een aantal zeer complexe en interessante legerprojecten. Een aantal ondergrondse installaties die ontworpen en gebouwd zijn door het korps, zijn geheim.”
Illustratie onderzeese basis
Hij ging daarna in op de betrokkenheid van het korps bij de bouw van een grote NORAD-basis diep onder de Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado in de jaren zestig. NORAD is een organisatie die waakt over het Amerikaanse en Canadese luchtruim.
Illustraties
Walter Koerschner werkte in de jaren zestig als illustrator voor de Amerikaanse marine. In die periode had de marine al plannen voor complexe en grote bases onder de zeebodem. In het boek ‘Hidden In Plain Sight’ heeft dr. Richard Sauder een aantal illustraties opgenomen die laten zien hoe dergelijke bases eruitzien.
Ondergrondse scheepswerf
(Wikicommons)
Er zijn ook ondergrondse installaties waarvan het bestaan is bevestigd. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de ondergrondse scheepswerf in het Zweedse Muskö, die onderdeel is van het Zweedse defensiebedrijf Saab.
Dr. Sauder doet al geruime tijd onderzoek naar ondergrondse legerbases. In zijn boek deelt hij een interessant verhaal:
“Enkele jaren geleden werd ik na een lezing benaderd door een man die werkzaam was geweest voor de Amerikaanse marine. Hij zei dat hij enige tijd was gestationeerd in China Lake in Californië. Ik vroeg hem of er een ondergrondse basis was in China Lake. Hij antwoordde bevestigend en zei dat de basis zeer groot en diep is. Ik vroeg hem of hij ooit in de basis was geweest, waarop hij zei dat hij wel eens in de basis was geweest, maar nooit de diepste niveaus had bereikt. Hij zei dat de basis meer dan 1,5 kilometer diep is. Ik vroeg hem wat er in de ondergrondse basis ligt opgeslagen. Wapens, antwoordde hij. Ik vroeg hem wat voor soort wapens er liggen opgeslagen. Wapens die krachtiger zijn dan kernwapens, antwoordde hij zonder te pauzeren.”
Topgeheime memo
Er zijn documenten uit de periode rond de Koude Oorlog waarin wordt gesproken over bases onder Washington DC en China Lake. De stukken laten zien dat het leger in 1964 overwoog een enorme basis te bouwen onder China Lake.
De eerste topgeheime memo over dit onderwerp werd op 7 november 1963 geschreven door de toenmalige Amerikaanse minister van Defensie Robert McNamara.
Een tweede memo die van dezelfde dag dateert verhaalt over een Deep Underground National Command Center op meer dan een kilometer onder Washington. In de memo staat informatie over liftschachten onder het ministerie van Defensie en het Witte Huis die naar de basis leiden.
A Mississippi witness at Foxworth recalled a UFO incident from 2005 that includes a close encounter and possible abduction, according to testimony in Case 77312 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The events unfolded shortly after Hurricane Katrina moved through the area in 2005 and are best told in the witness’s own words.
“Around August 23rd through the 24th of 2005; Hurricane Katrina’s Eye came over my parent’s home,” the witness stated.“The hurricane came from the south from New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico and proceeded north going over Foxworth and Columbia, Mississippi, from which I was living at the time with my parents.”
The witness was standing in a creek in 2005 when the UFO approached. Pictured: Foxworthy, MS.

The hurricane then moved northeast/east going over Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
“Complete devastation of trees, buildings, animal life – such as cows and deer which were thrown against and wrapped around bob-wired fences – and were later discovered dead. In addition, homes and boats completely obliterated from every angle the eye could see.”
During this time, the witness was working on a garbage truck as a hopper for the City of Columbia.
“On Monday, August 29th,2005 – after a 12-hour day hauling rotten garbage due to the electricity going out and everyone that didn’t have a generator had to throw away everything they had in their deep freezers and refrigerators – this event was causing serious smells at every home we arrived to extremely stinking garbage to be hauled away.”
Almost a week later and there was still no running water.
“So in extreme need of a bath or shower and refusing to settle washing myself down with wet rags and a bowl of water, I decided to take a ride to a creek nearby a church I use to attend. After arriving at the creek in pitch dark – so dark I couldn’t see my hand if placed on my nose – I stripped down and went skinny dipping, feeling so refreshed washing the rotten garbage smell off my body.”
Then the witness saw the UFO.
“As I was washing my cloths and scrubbing myself down with icy cold, creek water and soap, a huge, round-like airship with amber glowing orbs came heading straight towards me from the south-southwest. As I was watching this object coming towards me, completely naked while washing myself and my work cloths, I realized these three amber, yellowish lights were coming towards me at a rate of speed no greater than about 30 mph and at an altitude of about 100 to 150feet – just barely clearing the tops of pine trees.”
The witness seemed to react to the UFO.
“I could no longer move a muscle in my arms, legs, neck, fingers or shoulders – as if I were completely paralyzed or possessed as the aircraft arrived straight over my head. As the aircraft arrived straight over my body, I was completely paralyzed to any motions whatsoever, but I did feel the water moving. I am blessed that I was standing up in a shallow part of the creek that wasn’t deeper than my waist or else I believed I would have drowned if I were swimming.”
The witness continued to watch the UFO.
“The amber cloudy-like orbs with a trace of something like a reddish-yellow tint swirling inside the amber orbs had all of a sudden turned to a white-colored orb with a baby blue tint swirling inside these ivy white orbs. When the orbs of this UFO were the color of amber, and before it was coming toward me, I was extremely scared out of my wits. All I wanted to do was run away from this UFO as fast as I could.”
But now the witness’s feeling of the event changed.
“However, seconds after the orbs of this UFO turned white and then swirled the baby blue tint inside of its orb, I felt a connection somehow with this craft. I instantly went from being scared and wanting to run in the opposite direction of this UFO, to feeling at peace. I felt that whatever this object was had no intention in harming me. I still have no idea what it could have been if it was not a UFO because it had absolutely no sound while moving or hovering over my head. There was some heat to the light, but it wasn’t hot enough to burn me. It seemed as if it read my mind to determine not to burn me because as the few moments it was scanning me the lights got really hot and I asked it to not burn me in my mind and the lights started to dim to where it wasn’t hot anymore.”
The UFO continued to hover in place.
“This UFO seemed to hover over my head for about 5-10 minutes and then the ivy white, baby blue orb-like lights turned yellowish-amber again and started to fly from the southeast-east going toward Columbia and flying toward Hattiesburg, Mississippi.”
The witness described how the object approached and moved away.
“I saw the amber-colored orbs coming toward me at a distance of about 300 yards as it appeared just over the tree-tops and I lost sight of the amber-colored orb, disk-like object about 50-80 yards as it flew toward Columbia just over the tree-tops. The UFO never seemed to ascend or descend in altitude the entire time it was in my sight.”

The witness has not seen a UFO again since this incident.
“This was the last time I have ever encountered a UFO up-close and personal. I have only encountered lights before this that would shoot across the sky like a shooting star and all of a sudden move in a completely different direction of travel like a V-shape in the sky.”
The witness described the events after the UFO encounter.
“After this encounter I raced back home and my parents asked me where have I been because about five hours had passed by on something that I felt only took a few minutes. I remember leaving right after it turned dark at about 7p.m. and got home just minutes before midnight.”
The missing time was only the first strange piece of the story.
“And a week after this encounter, I started receiving hair loss. My hair fell out and never grew back until this day. In 2004 I had an MRI to determine if I had any back problems for an interview to be a roustabout for Diamond offshore; but my father told me to stay in college and to not take the job. The MRIs taken in 2004 showed absolutely nothing wrong with me. But after this encounter in 2005 I started to get minor back pains.”
The witness moved on with his career.
“In 2007 after getting an associates degree in electronics at PRCC, I took a job with AT&T to work in New Orleans to help rebuild the damage the hurricane caused by flood waters that got so high in some areas that actually got in the cables of the telephone poles and over the peak of house roofs at a height of 25 feet.”
The witness developed a tumor.
“On September 1, 2009, I had to have a tumor removed from inside my spinal cord. The doctor wanted to remove the tumor because it got so large inside my spinal cord that it busted out of my spinal cord and was wrapping around the vertebras outside of my spinal cord. The doctor ranked in the top 10 of all surgeons in this field in the USAand wanted to remove this tumor because he was scared it was going to rupture the main artery that runs down the spinal cord. If this artery got ruptured, I would have bled to death within minutes before I could get any medical attention. And if I did get to the hospital, no doctor would be able to diagnose the problem before I bled to death internally.”
The witness seemed to connect with the UFO during the encounter. Pictured: Foxworthy, MS.

The witness additionally suffers from nightmares.
“In addition, ever since this encounter I have been getting nightmares of being abducted and taken right outside of Earth’s orbit to a bee hive, honey cone-like mothership and not being able to move or wake up until I am returned back to my bedroom. I don’t know if I have ever been abducted or if they caused this tumor or if I have been implanted with something that hasn’t showed up on an MRI other that this tumor that was inside my spinal cord or if these nightmares that seem extremely real are an actual reality and not just dreams. But I do know for a fact I have never had any back problems since this encounter in 2005.”
The witness has been quiet about the encounter.
“I haven’t told many people about what I saw in the summer of 2005 because the people I did mention this to, including family, looked at me as if I am lying; trying to receive attention; or just simply think I am crazy for the dreams I have been receiving or the encounter I witnessed.”
The witness is curious if there may have been other witnesses.
“However, I am extremely curious if anyone in the state of Southern Mississippi saw these lights I witnessed in the summer of 2005; just days after the worst hurricane that hit in the history of United States of America – a hurricane that did the most damage, cost-wise, in United States history. I am not looking for attention. But I am curious if anyone has witnessed anything similar to the most painful and terrifying surgery I was left with after an encounter that will change my life forever.”

Under investigation: Two UFOs videotaped over Seattle
A Washington witness at Seattle reported watching and videotaping two highly reflective, “squared” UFOs, according to testimony in Case 77300 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside during daylight hours and noticed two stationary points of light in the sky on June 21, 2016.
“I told a co-worker to go grab my bag which I keep a camcorder in, while I kept any eye on the two objects,” the witness stated.“I don’t believe they were giving off their own light but rather reflecting the sunlight. I turned on my camcorder and attempted to zoom in on the objects, but it was difficult since they were so small and the camera had a hard time focusing in on them.”

The witness was eventually able to zoom in on one of them and focused long enough, but still could not identify the crafts.
“When I got home and was able to view the footage, the object appeared to be a highly reflective, ‘squared’ (meaning sharp edges, not curved), capital H. It had two long, squared pillars with a short bar in the middle…like a capital H.”

The witness continued to videotape the objects.
“I recorded them for sometime and then they slowly went behind the building. I went to put my camcorder away only to see them again but further to the right. So either they came back almost to the point where I originally saw them or there were two more that I didn’t see when I saw the original two objects. Then those two eventually drifted behind the building as well.”

Het is een bekend gegeven, dat wanneer er een UFO verschijnt de omgeving als gevolg daarvan te maken krijgt met stroomuitval.
Het lijkt erop dat dit op 21 juni jl ook is gebeurd in Diemen, want het antwoord op de grote stroomstoring aldaar verschijnt prominent in beeld bij niemand minder dan de NOS.
Update: 1 juli 2016
Wanneer je slimme lezers hebt zoals wij, blijven mysteries nooit erg lang onopgelost.
Zo ook de UFO in het NOS journaal vorige week.
We kregen een aantal meldingen van mensen (dank!) die zeiden dat wanneer je het beeld verder uitvergroot en/of een betere opname maakt via uitzending gemist, je duidelijk kunt zien dat je hier te maken hebt met lichten van een flatgebouw dat iets verderop staat.
Zoals te zien op de volgende afbeelding:
Echter, ook bovenstaande is niet de verklaring voor de drie vreemde lichten.
Wat het wel is, wordt duidelijk op de volgende foto die wij van een andere lezer ontvingen (dank!):
Ik kijk dagelijks op jullie mooie site en zie zojuist het artikel over de UFO te Diemen tijdens het journaal bij een grote stroomuitval, en heb het is nader bekeken en de ‘’UFO’’ betreft een verlichte tramleiding of stroomleiding (zie link).
Iedereen heel hartelijk dank voor het meedenken en tot het volgende mysterie!
Origineel artikel: 30 juni 3016
Voordat we naar de UFO en NOS gaan, even iets anders, maar ook belangrijk.
Je hebt van die mensen die hun leven wijden aan het onderzoek van vreemde en onverklaarbare zaken in ons luchtruim.
Eén van die mensen is Victor Viggiani, een onlangs gepensioneerd schoolhoofd uit Toronto in Canada.
Al meer dan 30 jaar houdt Viggiani zich bezig met onderzoek en analyse van vreemde gebeurtenissen in het luchtruim.
Enkele dagen geleden, op 25 juni 2016, was er een nationale vergadering (Canadian National Inquiry into UFOs) over UFO’s in Brantford, Ontario, in Canada.
Tijdens die vergadering presenteerde Viggiani een aantal geheime documenten afkomstig van NORAD. De North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is een militaire organisatie die waakt over het luchtruim van de Verenigde Staten en Canada.
Uit die documenten blijkt dat er talloze keren zijn geweest dat er contact is geweest tussen NORAD en onbekende objecten in het luchtruim, UFO’s.
Ook blijkt uit die documenten dat dit soort waarnemingen en contacten met buitenaardsen op het allerhoogste niveau binnen de overheid en militaire instanties wordt besproken.
Tijdens de vergadering geeft Viggiani aan dat hij is bedreigt en zal worden aangeklaagd voor het in gevaar brengen van de nationale veiligheid als hij die documenten openbaar maakt.
Iets dat deze dappere ex schoolmeester desondanks toch gewoon doet. Sterker nog, hij daagt de overheid uit om hem dan maar aan te pakken.
Dan terug naar Nederland, waar ook iets merkwaardigs plaatsvond.
AMSTERDAM (AT5) In een groot deel van Diemen en een deel van Amsterdam Zuidoost zitten flink wat huishoudens zonder stroom.
Dat meldt netbeheerder Liander. Het gaat om postcodes 1000, 1001, 1018, 1096, 1098 en 1102. Sommige getuigen melden dat heel Diemen en heel Zuidoost zonder stroom zitten, maar dat kan Liander niet bevestigen. Ook de trams hebben last van de storing: Tram 9 staat midden op de Kruislaan stil. Andere trams kunnen niet doorrijden.
Op Twitter worden veel liftopsluitingen gemeld. De brandweer is bezig om die mensen te helpen. De bestuurscommissie in Zuidoost moest de vergadering schorsen vanwege de stroomuitval.
De verwachte eindtijd van de storing is inmiddels ruim drie uur verschoven. Liander meldde eerst 22.10 uur, nu duurt de stroomstoring nog tot minstens 01.00 uur.
Tijdens de nieuwsuitzending van het journaal wordt ook melding gemaakt van deze stroomstoring.
Zoals waarschijnlijk bij velen bekend, worden UFO-waarnemingen dikwijls vergezeld van stroomstoringen. Dit kan zowel betrekking hebben op auto’s, batterijen, maar ook de normale stroomvoorziening.
Laat nu datzelfde journaal een beeld tonen van een UFO in de achtergrond, tijdens de stroomuitval in Diemen.
Wij ontvingen het volgende bericht van een lezer:
Vorige week dinsdag was er in Diemen een grote stroomuitval. Dit werd op het NOS Journal bekend gemaakt. Met op de achtergrond een foto van het gebied, was daar op de achtergrond een grote UFO te zien! Heb er foto van gemaakt en een uitvergroting.

Date of sighting: May 13, 2016 Location of sighting: Fairbanks, Alaska, USA This eyewitness caught a glowing UFO over Fairbanks and it divided into three. This particular UFO looks a lot like a mother orb, which soul purpose it to send out smaller orbs that observe and record. Then later the mother orb will call them all back, entering it. Very interesting video, and awesome camera balance in this one. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Space Satellite Archeology Revealed The Mysteries Of Ancient Sites
Space Satellite Archeology Revealed The Mysteries Of Ancient Sites
Edgar Cayce is known as the psychic during the twentieth century. Recently, he has been featured on TV programs. His prophecies are exacting and are coming true. Amazingly, these were all done while he was asleep. This sleeping prophet has predicted that the proof of Atlantis and the innovated technology would be found beneath the Giza’s pyramids sooner or later. This will be discerned through a hidden way beneath the paw of the Sphinx. Concerned with the control of Ancient Egypt’s narrative, the investigations that were running to the narrative have been either blocked or derided by the Minister of Antiquities of Egypt named Zahi Hawass. The interview has focused so much with the two Egyptologists whose digs were sponsored by ARE (Association for Research and Enlightenment). The first one had written the book of Cayce’s readings describing how the Atlantis survivors discovered the Egypt. However, the question is, were these professionals secretly searching for the traditional Hall of Records through the Cayce’s readings while disobeying their previous sponsor publicly to keep in line with the Egyptology?
To suggest that Amun Priesthood is a hero, the story of Queen Nefertiti and Pharaoh Akhenaten was framed by the Egyptologists. It has been portrayed in a more engaging manner, and somehow it relates to the esoteric knowledge of Akhenaten towards the discovery of Egypt. But, why did the Priesthood try stripping both these two ancient and famous characters from the history? Was the Queen able to escape to remove the old understanding of Atlantean past? This story has always been the most shocking, bizarre, enlightening, strange, unnerving, and compelling. Despite the mysterious stories, there is always the truth. So far, Edgar Cayce has been right on everything. What is incredible is that he hypnotized himself and did all these readings while he was sleeping with loads of witnesses.
1965 UFO Encounter: James Flynn in Everglades Florida
1965 UFO Encounter: James Flynn in Everglades Florida
On March 12, 1965, in East Fort Myers, Florida, an experienced woodsman James Flynnheaded to the Everglades with his hunting dogs. On the 14th day of March, his hunting dogs run after a deer. Hearing a gunshot sound, Flynn started to swamp buggy and headed off to search for the dogs.
On Monday, March 15th at 1 am, Flynn has spotted a bizarre cone-shaped object hovering in the sky, with an estimated 200 feet above cypress trees. In 2 to 3 minutes, it returned and flew again for another 5 minutes. It then took off again toward the Southwest at a high speed. Soon after, it returned to the same location. At this time, the object comes down the trees on a small knoll when Flynn was about a mile away. Flynn first though it was a helicopter, but as it drew closer, he realized, it wasn’t.
According to him, the object is 25 feet high with four tiers of two-foot-square window-looking that emitted a yellowish color. The body of the object is metallic and is believed to be a product of four-by-four plates which are held with rivets. Around the base was a reddish-orange illumination that appeared to cast a glow of 75 feet around its rim. Later on, he regained consciousness and went back to his home with his dogs. As soon as he went home, he and his wife visit op an ophthalmologist and find that his vision is 20/800 in his right eye, and 20/60 in his left eye. While the left eye appeared normal, the retina is not visible in the right eye. Flynn complained of numbness in his arms and hands and hearing reduction following the encounter. On March 26, he and Dr. Stipe revisited the lace and found a burned circle 72 feet and eight scorched cypress trees.
Flynn believed that it was probably a secret aircraft, and once proven, then somebody should pay for the liability he did.
UFO investigators are looking at an image that shows a 'smoking flying saucer' which it is believed could have been falling to Earth.
The snap was caught over a forest surrounding the Yuba River, in Dobbins, California, and has been handed to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the world's biggest organisation dedicated to investigating such sightings.
In a report to MUFON, the unnamed witness said they did not see any craft in the sky while photographing the area.
He wrote: "I was on a boat fishing trip with my father. We were on the North Fork of the Yuba River. On this day at about 5pm (June 22) I took several pictures of the surrounding canyon and forest.
"While reviewing all the camping photos, I observed an object in the sky above the treeline in one of the pictures.
"I had taken three pictures within a few seconds of each other. The second picture has the object. The first and third picture of the same location have no object in them.
"The object looks rectangular, and shiny silver or white on one side. In the location where the photo was taken there were no aircraft in the sky and the only birds we had had seen were hawks or vultures.
While reviewing all the camping photos, I observed an object in the sky above the treeline in one of the pictures.
Unnamed witness
"The area we were in is very secluded. There were no other people around, and no noise other than the river going over a rock bed."
Scott C Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, pointed to the smoke and said it could well have landed.
He said: "UFOs often move fast, so fast that the human eye would not be able to notice it. The digital eye is more perfect and can capture most UFOs, but some are just too fast.

Alien Abduction More Like an 'Ambulance Call'
Alien Abduction More Like an 'Ambulance Call'
Travis Walton (left) and Richard Dolan listen as Paul Hellyer speaks during the Canadian National Inquiry into UFOs on Saturday at the Alien Cosmic Expo at the Best Western Brant Park Inn. (Brian Thompson/The Expositor)
Travis Walton's story about being abducted by aliens hasn't changed in more than 40 years.
But his perception of the 1975 incident has.
He told more than 300 people at the Alien Cosmic Expo on the weekend at the Best Western Brant Park Inn that, over time, he has developed a better understanding of what happened to him in 1975 while working with a logging crew in Arizona.
"Rather than call it an abduction, you could say it was an ambulance call. I got too close, was injured and they were the only ones in position to reverse the damage."
Walton, who was 21 at the time, was working in Sitgreaves National Forest, near Heber, He said he got too close to a mysterious craft, knocked unconscious and then beamed up into the UFO. He was missing for five days.
His story was the subject of the 1993 movie, Fire in the Sky. Two years later, Walton wrote about his experiences in a book with the same title.
Walton's story, the impact it has had on his life and others involved has been made into a 90-minute documentary by filmmaker Jennifer Stein. Called The True Story of Travis Walton, the documentary was screened at the second annual expo, which began Friday and concluded Sunday.
Walton was part of session at the expo that was billed as the first public examination and investigation in Canada of the truth behind UFOs.
He said that people's reaction has changed to him and his story.
"Initially, reaction was pretty hard to endure," he said. "People were frightened by the very idea and that was the motivation, the basis, for not accepting it.
"They would rather believe that the (logging) crew had murdered me than see what they had seen."
However, over time, the reaction of people has improved because they are better educated.
Other speakers included Nick Pope, Stanton Friedman, Grant Cameron, Stephen Bassett and former federal cabinet minister Paul Hellyer.
Bob Mitchell, a Brantford resident and an organizer of the hearing, called the group of speakers a lineup of rock star researchers, authors and historians. Mitchell is the author of several books on UFOs and extraterrestrials.
One of the panelists, Richard Dolan, a UFO historian and researcher, spoke about some of the government documents he has seen on UFOs.
After the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War, the U.S. Congress passed a bill that made it easier to get documents through freedom Of information requests and a lot of UFO documents were released, he said.
"A lot of the documents were boring but quite a few were not," Dolan said. "They showed case after case of violations of sensitive air space over U.S. (military) bases."
Descriptions of the UFOs were similar in that they had flat bottoms, dome tops, were silent and had incredibly maneuverability. On top of that there were statements from military personnel about the serious nature of the air space violations, he said.
Dolan also told the audience that it is important to know the history of UFO sightings and reports.
"History is all we have and if we throw away our history we have nothing," he said. "We need to maintain our understanding of the historical record of this phenomena.
"We don't want to just jump into this in 2016 as if it hasn't existed throughout our lifetime."
He said that the historical record appears to show, that after the end of the Second World War and the advent of the nuclear age. that there was a change with respect to the UFO phenomena, which became more visible.
Dolan speculated that the change may be attributed to technological advances and humans becoming better at testing things.
And, while the U.S. government has consistently said there is nothing serious about the phenomena, it is known that at deeply classified levels the problem is being taken seriously, Dolan said.
"I would like to know why there is this discrepancy," Dolan said. "Whatever it might be, we need to know why these lies have been allowed to flourish.
"Whatever the truth is on this subject, whether its extraterrestrial and they are here to enslave us or to help us or if its something else entirely, something is going on and we need to know what it is."

US AIR FORCE PILOT SPEAKS OUT ABOUT WHAT HE WAS ORDERED TO DO WHEN THE MILITARY TRACKED A UFO
US AIR FORCE PILOT SPEAKS OUT ABOUT WHAT HE WAS ORDERED TO DO WHEN THE MILITARY TRACKED A UFO
What Are Military Pilots Told To Do When They See A UFO?
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead we, or at least some of some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. The inevitable result was that some of our planes were lost, but how many were due to retaliation, and how many were a result of our own stupidity, is a moot point.” – Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defense Minister (source)
If there is one thing that’s extremely obvious, it’s the fact that the UFO issue is an international matter which concerns each and every one of us. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of military encounters with UFOs that we know of so far, though this only became known in the ‘mainstream’ world a few short years ago when dozens of governments around the world decided to release thousands of pages of UFO-related documents to the public domain. For example, here is the latest batch, released by the United Kingdom in June of 2013. Prior to this release, the presence UFOs was still thought to belong to the realm of conspiracy theories, but thanks to this release, more and more people are starting to take this issue seriously. According to former White House Chief of StaffJohn Podesta, the existence of UFOs is a “fascinating phenomenon, the nature of which is yet to be determined.”
“This thing has gotten so highly-classified… it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.” – Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (source)
Again, large portion of these documents detail military encounters with UFOs. For example, a Defense Intelligence Agency document describes a UFO encounter reported by two F-4 interceptor pilots. Keep in mind, these objects are not only seen by pilots, but they are also tracked and confirmed by radar on the planes and on the ground. There is often visual confirmation by the pilots who are sent to check the object out as well. During this encounter, the pilots experienced critical instrumentation and electronics loss as they approached the object, and when they turned away from it all instrumentation and communications came back online.
“As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications. 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. Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object. The second object headed straight toward the F4. ”(source)
You can read more about, and find multiple examples regarding the military and UFOs, in the article below:
This is commonly how these situations play out, and as Richard Dolan, author and one of the world’s leading experts on UFOs, stated at the Citizens Hearing On Disclosure, many pilots have actually lost their lives after being ordered to intercept these objects. Whether this was a result of critical instrumentation failure or something else seems to be unknown at this time. Paul Hellyer said, in the same speech that’s sourced in his quote above, that after pilots were losing their lives (because of critical electronic failure), the UFOs actually started to take corrective measures to avoid our aircraft.
Some have postulated that the magnetic fields around the craft of the UFOs were too intense for our technology.
” Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data.” – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979). From “UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2,″ written by Richard Dolan.
Hearing From The Actual Pilot
Below is a video of Milton Torress speaking at the National Press Club shortly after the UK government released the file that detailed the encounter. He was kept silent for decades, but now he is an excellent example of someone with firsthand experience who can provide a detailed, eyewitness description.
Here’s what he experienced.
“It could stop, it could absolutely stand still, and it could go Mack 10 or more in any direction.”
