Is er water gevonden op de grootste planetoïde van ijzer?

Tim Kraaijvanger

Astronomen hebben mogelijk water ontdekt op de grootste planetoïde van ijzer in het zonnestelsel: Psyche. Psyche heeft een diameter van ongeveer 200 kilometer en is één van de grootste objecten in de asteroïdengordel tussen Mars en Jupiter.

Dit is een opvallende ontdekking, omdat uit eerdere observaties naar voren was gekomen dat er geen water op het oppervlak van Psyche zou liggen. Professor Vishnu Reddy van de Universiteit van Arizona schrijft in een paper in The Astronomical Journal dat dit te kort door de bocht is. Op basis van nieuwe observaties met de NASA Infrared Telescope Facility is er bewijs gevonden dat er vluchtige stoffen op het oppervlak van de planetoïde voorkomen, zoals water of hydroxyl. Hydroxyl is een vrije radicaal die bestaat uit een waterstofatoom gebonden aan een zuurstofatoom.

“We hadden niet verwacht water of hydroxyl aan te treffen op een metaalrijke planetoïde als Psyche”, zegt Reddy. “Metaalrijke asteroïden zijn in droge omstandigheden gevormd, dus zonder de aanwezigheid van water of hydroxyl. Deze ontdekking verbaast ons.”

Missie naar Psyche
De vondst komt goed uit, want er ligt een plan bij NASA om een 500 miljoen dollar kostend ruimtevaartuig naar Psyche te sturen. Het feit dat er wellicht water op deze buitenaardse wereld ligt, maakt het een stuk aantrekkelijker om een sonde naar Psyche toe te sturen.

Mogelijke verklaring: water komt ergens anders vandaan
Overigens is er al een mogelijke verklaring voor de vondst van water. “We denken dat het water afkomstig is van een andere asteroïde die in het verleden in botsing is gekomen met Psyche”, aldus Reddy. “Het feit dat het water er niet is gevormd, maar dat het er wel is, is een bevestiging dat een algemeen geaccepteerde theorie klopt. Namelijk dat deze bouwstenen van leven op aarde zijn gebracht door asteroïden en kometen.”

MAVEN Gives Unprecedented Ultraviolet View of Mars

MAVEN Mars nightside nitric oxide emissions

This image of Mars’ nightside shows ultraviolet emission from nitric oxide (abbreviated NO). The emission is shown in false color with black as low values, green as medium, and white as high. These are the first such images obtained at Mars. Nightglow is a common planetary phenomenon in which the sky faintly glows even in the complete absence of external light. These emissions track the recombination of atomic N and O produced on the dayside, and reveal the circulation patterns of the atmosphere. The splotches, streaks and other irregularities in the image are indications that atmospheric patterns are extremely variable on Mars’ nightside. The portion of the globe without data lies on the dayside, making NO emission from recombination undetectable. The inset shows the viewing geometry on the planet. MAVEN’s Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph obtained this image of Mars on May 4, 2016 during late winter in Mars Southern Hemisphere.

New global images of Mars from the MAVEN mission show the ultraviolet glow from the Martian atmosphere in unprecedented detail, revealing dynamic, previously invisible behavior. They include the first images of “nightglow” that can be used to show how winds circulate at high altitudes. Additionally, dayside ultraviolet imagery from the spacecraft shows how ozone amounts change over the seasons and how afternoon clouds form over giant Martian volcanoes. The images were taken by the MAVEN Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph (IUVS).

“MAVEN obtained hundreds of such images in recent months, giving some of the best high-resolution ultraviolet coverage of Mars ever obtained,” said Nick Schneider of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. Schneider is presenting these results Oct. 19 at the American Astronomical Society Division for Planetary Sciences meeting in Pasadena, California.

Nightside images show ultraviolet (UV) “nightglow” emission from nitric oxide (abbreviated NO). Nightglow is a common planetary phenomenon in which the sky faintly glows even in the complete absence of external light. Mars’ nightside atmosphere emits light in the ultraviolet due to chemical reactions that start on Mars’ dayside. Ultraviolet light from the sun breaks down molecules of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and the resulting atoms are carried around the planet by high-altitude wind patterns that encircle the planet. On the nightside, these winds bring the atoms down to lower altitudes where nitrogen and oxygen atoms collide to form nitric oxide molecules. The recombination releases extra energy, which comes out as ultraviolet light.

Scientists predicted NO nightglow at Mars, and prior missions detected its presence, but MAVEN has returned the first images of this phenomenon in the Martian atmosphere. Splotches and streaks appearing in these images occur where NO recombination is enhanced by winds. Such concentrations are clear evidence of strong irregularities in Mars’ high altitude winds and circulation patterns. These winds control how Mars’ atmosphere responds to its very strong seasonal cycles. These first images will lead to an improved determination of the circulation patterns that control the behavior of the atmosphere from approximately 37 to 62 miles (about 60 to 100 kilometers) high.

MAVEN’s Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph obtained these images of rapid cloud formation on Mars from July 9-10, 2016. The ultraviolet colors of the planet have been rendered in false color, to show what we would see with ultraviolet-sensitive eyes. The series interleaves MAVEN images to show about 7 hours of Mars rotation during this period, just over a quarter of Mars’ day. The left part of the planet in morning and the right side in afternoon. Mars’ prominent volcanoes, topped with white clouds, can be seen moving across the disk. Mars’ tallest volcano, Olympus Mons, appears as a prominent dark region near the top of the images, with a small white cloud at the summit that grows during the day. Olympus Mons appears dark because the volcano rises up above much of the hazy atmosphere which makes the rest of the planet appear lighter. Three more volcanoes appear in a diagonal row, with their cloud cover merging to span up to a thousand miles by the end of the day. These images are particularly interesting because they show how rapidly and extensively the clouds topping the volcanoes form in the afternoon. Similar processes occur at Earth, with the flow of winds over mountains creating clouds. Afternoon cloud formation is a common occurrence in the American West, especially during the summer.

Dayside images show the atmosphere and surface near Mars’ south pole in unprecedented ultraviolet detail. They were obtained as spring comes to the southern hemisphere. Ozone is destroyed when water vapor is present, so ozone accumulates in the winter polar region where the water vapor has frozen out of the atmosphere. The images show ozone lasting into spring, indicating that global winds are inhibiting the spread of water vapor from the rest of the planet into winter polar regions. Wave patterns in the images, revealed by UV absorption from ozone concentrations, are critical to understanding the wind patterns, giving scientists an additional means to study the chemistry and global circulation of the atmosphere.

MAVEN observations also show afternoon cloud formation over the four giant volcanoes on Mars, much as clouds form over mountain ranges on Earth. IUVS images of cloud formation are among the best ever taken showing the development of clouds throughout the day. Clouds are a key to understanding a planet’s energy balance and water vapor inventory, so these observations will be valuable in understanding the daily and seasonal behavior of the atmosphere.

“MAVEN’s elliptical orbit is just right,” said Justin Deighan of the University of Colorado Boulder, who led the observations. “It rises high enough to take a global picture, but still orbits fast enough to get multiple views as Mars rotates over the course of a day.”

MAVEN’s principal investigator is based at the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, Boulder. The university provided two science instruments and leads science operations, as well as education and public outreach, for the mission. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight

Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the MAVEN project and provided two science instruments for the mission. The University of California at Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory also provided four science instruments for the mission. Lockheed Martin built the spacecraft and is responsible for mission operations. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, provides navigation and Deep Space Network support, as well as the Electra telecommunications relay hardware and operations.

Mogelijk schuilt in 20 jaar oude data van het CERN een nieuw deeltje - HLN.be

Bron: Belga

© ap.

De gigantische deeltjesversneller LHC van het Europees Centrum voor Nucleair Onderzoek in Genève mag dan wel het met het Higssboson het sluitstuk van het Standaardmodel rond de materie, en België een Nobelprijs, hebben opgeleverd, in twintig jaar oude data van zijn voorganger schuilt mogelijk nog een nieuw deeltje. Dat heeft het populair-wetenschappelijke tijdschrift New Scientist vandaag getwitterd.

In de tunnel waar nu de LHC staat, werkte van 1989 tot 2000 de deeltjesversneller LEP of "Large Electron-Positron Collider". Daarmee analyseerden wetenschappers bij botsingen van elektronen en prositronen het verval van Z-bosonen.

Maar de vorsers tendeerden daarbij, net als bij de zoektocht naar het Higgsboson, enkel te kijken naar signalen dat theoretische modellen hadden voorspeld. Zo was het bestaan van het Higgsboson in 1964 voorspeld door de Schot Peter Higgs, en de Belgen François Englert en Robert Brout.

Sinds het experiment met de ALEPH-deeltjesdetector afliep, zijn echter vele nieuwe theorieën ontstaan. Wat Arno Heister van het CERN ertoe aanzette de oude data nog eens opnieuw te bekijken.

Zonder iets bijzonders te zoeken stootte hij op een lichte overschrijding van vervalproducten bij een energie van zowat 30 gigaelectronvolt (GeV). Als het geen statistisch artifact is, kan het wijzen op het bestaan van een nieuw deeltje dat naar een complexere theorie over het wezen van de natuur kan leiden.

Zo hongeren natuurkundigen naar een model dat vragen kan beantwoorden waarom er meer materie is dan antimaterie en waaruit donkere materie bestaat.

Radiotelescoop zoekt nu toch naar buitenaards leven nabij mysterieuze ster - HLN.be

STER Het mysterie rond Tabby's Ster of KIC 8462852, de meest tot de verbeelding sprekende ster in onze Melkweg, wordt groter en groter. Wetenschappers merken voortdurend schommelingen op in haar helderheid en er blijkt tussen de ster en ons af en toe iets zeer groots en donkers te passeren. Sommigen suggereerden eerder al dat er buitenaards leven in het spel is.

De Green Bank-telescoop in West Virginia is de grootste ter wereld en wordt nu ingeschakeld om de ster te onderzoeken. © epa.

Wetenschappers gaan voort in hun onderzoek van Tabby's Ster en richten gedurende twee maanden elke nacht vier uur lang de Green Bank-radiotelescoop in West Virginia op de mysterieuze ster, die op 1.480 lichtjaar van ons verwijderd is. Dat meldt alvast de Amerikaanse zender ABC.

Dat de ster een erg afwijkend lichtpatroon vertoont, heeft allicht te maken met de aanwezigheid van een gigantische meteoor die in de omgeving van de ster te vinden is.

Hoewel de kans op buitenaards leven dus zeer minimaal is en eerder al uitgesloten, zijn de onderzoekers toch van plan alle data die de telescoop oplevert, na te gaan. Dat werkje zal meer dan een maand in beslag nemen.

Eén op een miljard
Wetenschapper Dan Werthimer (universiteit van Berkeley) zegt dat de kans op buitenaards leven - en het vreemde gedrag van de ster die gelinkt kan worden aan een megastructuur van een geavanceerde buitenaardse beschaving om energie te vangen - "één op een miljard" is. "Niettemin zullen we het controleren."

"Ik denk dat E.T., wanneer hij ooit wordt gevonden, iets als dit kan zijn", vervolgde hij laconiek.

Van alle gevonden asteroïden riskeren er 15.000 ooit in te slaan op aarde - HLN.be

Bron: ANP

RUIMTE Wetenschappers hebben al 15.000 asteroïden gevonden die door de ruimte razen en ooit kunnen inslaan op aarde. En het totale aantal ligt waarschijnlijk nog veel hoger. Drie jaar geleden stond de teller op 10.000.

Lees ook

"We ontdekken gemiddeld dertig nieuwe objecten per week", meldt Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA, die meedoet aan het onderzoek. "Enkele tientallen jaren geleden vonden we dertig in een jaar." Dat tempo gaat waarschijnlijk omhoog als nieuwe, geavanceerde telescopen in gebruik worden genomen.

© Thinkstock.

Door ons zonnestelsel suizen meer dan 700.000 asteroïdes. De meeste staan ver weg en komen nooit in de buurt van de aarde, maar een deel ervan komt wel in de buurt. Dat zijn de Near-Earth Objects (NEOs).

Van klein tot heel groot
Sommige rotsblokken zijn meer dan een kilometer in doorsnee, en daarvan is volgens ESA ongeveer 90 procent gevonden. "Van de rotsen die groter dan 100 meter zijn, hebben we slechts 10 procent gevonden. En minder dan 1 procent van de objecten die groter dan 40 meter zijn.''

De kans is bijzonder klein dat een van die objecten in de komende veertig jaar inslaat. Maar volgens ESA moeten alle NEOs in de gaten worden gehouden om te weten waar ze naartoe gaan.

WikiLeaks Documents Reveal United Nations Interest In UFOs

An international UFO committee almost became reality.

Lee Speigel Writer, Editor, The Huffington Post

**Numerous WikiLeaks documents from 1978 reveal strong interest in UFOs at the United Nations.**

Revelations in a set of hacked emails released by WikiLeaks earlier this month have sparked new conversations about UFOs and speculation that extraterrestrialshave been visiting Earth. But a very significant ― and possibly overlooked ― group of WikiLeaks items relevant to the topic was released on May 18, 2015.

WikiLeaks posted more than half a million U.S. State Department diplomatic documents from 1978 detailing America’s interactions with countries all around the world ― including Grenada Prime Minister Eric Gairy’s efforts to organize a United Nations-based committee to research and investigate global UFO reports.

Many of the documents, written by American UN officials, indicated how closely they were monitoring Grenada’s UFO-related activities.

One document, from Nov. 18, 1978, revealed my involvement in helping Grenada to produce a credible UFO presentation.

I had an opportunity in early 1978 to meet Gairy in New York to present an idea about how I thought the UN would pay attention to his UFO crusade. Through his ambassadors, I gave him a copy of a documentary record album, “UFOs: The Credibility Factor,” that I produced for CBS Inc. in 1975.

Gairy and I met, and after I convinced him I could bring a very credible group of speakers to the UN, he agreed to sponsor my proposal (see image below). Shortly after a handshake deal, he made me a temporary delegate-adviser of Grenada and the rest was, well, history.

**This 1978 letter from Grenada to Lee Speigel confirmed that country’s commitment to sponsor Speigel’s UFO presentation at the United Nations.**

The following image shows part of the group I brought together in July 1978 to meet with UN Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim. He wanted to know what we were planning to do at our November event in front of the Special Political Committee, which included representatives from the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.

On July 14, 1978, producer Lee Speigel (now a Huffington Post writer) brought together a group of military, scientific and psychological experts to meet with United Nations Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim to discuss Speigel’s upcoming presentation to the U.N. Special Political Committee later that year. Topic: The importance of establishing an international UFO committee. Pictured from left: USAF astronaut Col. Gordon Cooper, astronomer Jacques Vallee, astronomer/astrophysicist Claude Poher, astronomer J. Allen Hynek, Grenada Prime Minister Sir Eric Gairy, Waldheim, Morton Gleisner of the Special Political Committee, Lee Speigel, researcher Leonard Stringfield and University of Colorado psychologist David Saunders.

Another cable posted on WikiLeaks, from Nov. 24, 1978, refers to Ambassador Richard Petree’s meeting with Grenada representatives “to discuss their UFO resolution. Ambassador Petree acknowledged the high level of interest in UFOs among some elements of the private sector and scientific community ... and pointed to the budgetary impact as a major concern of the U.S. and other countries.”

On Nov. 28, 1978, the day after our presentation at the UN, this document was sent through official channels, detailing the actual UFO event, describing what each of the invited scientific and military speakers had to say to the member nations.

A few days after that, on Dec. 2, 1978, a follow-up cable was transmitted, including the following:

Subsequent to the introduction of the Grenadian UFO resolution, Misoff [Mission Officer] has engaged in two separate informal negotiating sessions, which included representation from Austria, USSR and Grenada, in an attempt to arrive at a mutually acceptable compromise solution to the problem.

A draft decision to be taken by the Special Political Committee (SPC) has been agreed upon by the participants in the informal negotiations, subject to concurrence of their respective capitals. We think referral of the [UFO] matter to the Outer Space Committee (OSC) without a preordained mandate as to what action is to be taken, provides the flexibility the OSC needs to take whatever action it deems appropriate.

It will also obviate the need to vote on a resolution (and gamble on the results).

The following week brought forth another document, on Dec. 8, 1978, which stated:

“The General Assembly invites interested member states to take appropriate steps to coordinate on a national level scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life, including unidentified flying objects, and to inform the secretary-general of the observations, research and evaluation of such activities.”

It was further suggested that Grenada’s views on UFOs could be discussed in 1979. Unfortunately, that didn’t come to pass, as Grenada Prime Minister Gairy was overthrown in a 1979 coup.

Needless to say, without the Gairy-based initiative on UFOs, it was quietly relegated to Grenada’s back burner.

This is the tip of the UFO-UN iceberg. It shows how the subject of UFOs wasn’t merely officially ridiculed or slapped aside. There was, and perhaps still is, some interest there, just waiting to emerge.

“Buitenaardse invasie behoedt de aarde voor Derde Wereldoorlog”

Diverse websites hebben het over een gelekt topgeheim ‘rapport’ van het Kremlin over plannen om een UFO-invasie tegen te houden.

De Britse tabloid Daily Star schreef zondag dat NASA-satellieten een invasievloot zouden hebben opgepikt die rond september 2017 zou aankomen bij de aarde.

“Hoewel sommigen geloven dat de aliens oorlogszuchtig zijn, geloven anderen dat ze goedaardig zijn en de aarde behoeden van een derde wereldoorlog tussen de VS en Rusland, schreef nieuwssite Inquisitr, die in handen is van een Israëlische zakenman.

Voorspeld

Deze complottheorie circuleert al tenminste sinds januari 2014 op het internet. Believers claimen dat de invasie al was voorspeld door Nostradamus.

Er is nog geen nieuwsagentschap dat aandacht heeft besteed aan dit verhaal en er is geen bewijs dat het Witte Huis of de NASA zich voorbereidt op de nakende invasie, merkt de International Business Times op. Toch wordt het verhaal alvast gretig gedeeld.

Bezocht

Uit verschillende peilingen blijkt dat de meerderheid van het volk gelooft in buitenaards leven.

Zo laat een recente peiling van YouGov zien dat 56 procent van de Duitsers, 54 procent van de Amerikanen en 52 procent van de Britten in aliens gelooft.

Uit een enquête van National Geographic uit 2012 blijkt dat liefst 77 procent van de Amerikanen zegt dat aliens op een bepaald punt in de geschiedenis de aarde hebben bezocht.

Overal

Ook veel NASA-wetenschappers en andere onderzoekers behoren tot de believers, aldus IBTimes.

Wetenschappers vertelden het Congres in 2014 dat leven waarschijnlijk overal in de Melkweg mogelijk is.

Daarnaast onderzoekt de Universiteit van Californië te Berkeley momenteel of er leven aanwezig is rond een ster op 1500 lichtjaar van de aarde.

Gelekte WikiLeaks-documenten: VN erg geïnteresseerd in vliegende schotels

Gelekte WikiLeaks-documenten: VN erg geïnteresseerd in UFO's

Gelekte WikiLeaks-documenten: VN erg geïnteresseerd in vliegende schotels

WikiLeaks heeft meer dan een half miljoen diplomatieke documenten van het Amerikaanse ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken openbaar gemaakt.

Uit enkele van de documenten blijkt dat minister-president Eric Gairy van Grenada een speciale VN-commissie in het leven wilde roepen om onderzoek te doen naar vliegende schotels.

De stukken laten zien dat VN-functionarissen de activiteiten van Grenada op dit gebied op de voet volgden.

Veel interesse

In juli 1978 had een delegatie van Grenada een ontmoeting met VN-secretaris-generaal Kurt Waldheim, die wilde weten wat Gairy precies van plan was.

Een document dat dateert van 24 november 1978 verwijst naar een ontmoeting tussen ambassadeur Richard Petree en de delegatie van Grenada om te spreken over UFO’s.

Ambassadeur Petree erkende dat er binnen de particuliere sector en de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap interesse was voor UFO’s.

In een stuk van 8 december 1978 valt te lezen:

De Algemene Vergadering van de VN spoort lidstaten aan om wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar buitenaards leven, inclusief ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten, te coördineren en de secretaris-generaal te informeren over de waarnemingen, het onderzoek en de beoordeling van dergelijke activiteiten.

Staatsgreep

Verder werd gesteld dat de kijk van Grenada op UFO’s in 1979 zou kunnen worden besproken. Dat gebeurde helaas niet, omdat minister-president Gairy dat jaar werd afgezet tijdens een staatsgreep.

Later datzelfde jaar volgde een Amerikaanse invasie. De Washington Post meldde dat de CIA pogingen heeft ondernomen om de overheid van Grenada te destabiliseren.

Topje van de ijsberg

Dit is nog maar het topje van de ijsberg, schrijft de Huffington Post. De stukken tonen aan dat het onderwerp niet belachelijk werd gemaakt, maar op het hoogste niveau werd besproken.

This photo was taken with the SOHO last week and it shows a giant UFO hovering over our sun. The object does look like a giant disk seen front the side. And did you notice, there is a explosion of energy shooting from just below it? The ship is extracting the suns material. Hopefully this won't adversely effect our sun and throw the Earth into chaos. Excellent find by Streetcap1.

UFO seen over Vienna, frightened onlookers call police, Oct 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 2016

Location of sighting: Vienna, Austria

News Source:

Now sure the lights are bright...alien tech...LEDs for sure. This seems like a drone with lights on its arms to me. Also the size is only about half a meter across...which screams Halloween prank UFO, but interesting to see for sure. UFOs can certainly be smaller than this. I have seen one the size of a baseball sneak up behind my camera then shoot off like grease lighting...stopped at 50 meters away in 3-4 seconds it took me to flip the tripod around. So...this could be, but I just don't feel it.

Scott C. Waring

RT News states:

Startled residents in the Austrian cities of Graz and Vienna were so spooked by an apparent UFO hovering in the skies, they called the police.

Footage was uploaded on social media showing the bright object flying through the skies and while many people were skeptical of the sightings, others thought an alien invasion was imminent.

In one clip, an object can be seen flying through the sky as bystanders stand in shock.

Officials did not comment on the mysterious object, according to the Local, while alien skeptics are confident it is in fact just a small remote controlled helicopter.

UFO Over Hawaii Mountain Top Shocks Eyewitness, Possible Underground Base In Hawaii, UFO Sighting News

I added contrast above to make the UFO come into focus.

Date of sighting: Oct 23, 2016
Location of sighting: Waikane, Hawaii, USA
Source: MUFON #79999

UFOs are often seen around mountain tops because their exits from the underground bases need to be in locations where few people ever venture. That cuts down on the likelihood of them being seen.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

I was taking pictures at Kaneoha Bay at lunch time of the mountains. I had on the "multiple pictures" setting which means if I hold down the button of my camera then it will continuously snap photos with not even a second invetween shots. I had this option on and took multiple picture of the mountains. I went to go look back at my pictures when I noticed one of them was not like the others. At first I thought a wood hip was on my lense but I looked closer and I realized I had spotted a UFO! Now, I don't really believe in stereotypical UFOs but this creeped me out so much that I'm reporting it just in case it really is one! The U identified object I saw was a disk, football shape and it was yellow/orange. When I zoom up on my camera, there seems to be a dome on the top as well. As soon as I saw the picture and realized it wasn't a football or woodchip I got a very eerie feeling. I showed my brother and dad the photo right when I saw but they didn't seem to be worried much about it. I attached the photos in this report as well. The first one should be a plain picture of the mountains and the second one has the weird object in it. It seems to be hovering over the mountain in the middle right side of the photo.

See Tom DeLonge’s Reaction To His Leaked Emails About UFOs

tom-delonge

It was revealed last week that Tom DeLonge, former guitarist and co-lead vocalist of American rock band Blink-182, has sent multiple emails to John Podesta. The emails show that Tom asked about aliens and UFOs to Hillary Clinton’s presidential chairman. Compared to some information leaked by WikiLeaks, his questions appeared trivial. However, DeLonge seems serious about the subject in question.

Tom, longtime UFO enthusiast, has since been focusing on his extraterrestrial interests since quitting the band. A few days later, he reacted about those emails.

On his Facebook account, he wrote: “I am still here.” Wikileaks messed up some important stuff. What seems like the ridiculous subject matter to most, is of tremendous importance to admirable National Security Leadership.”

Based on his reaction, he appears upset how most people show lighthearted manner with his emails.

Tom added “It’s easy to poke fun about the topic from an armchair, but unless you’re invited to the meetings I have been a part of, then…no more laughing. Big things are coming. The project is still on, believe it or not, things just got bigger. #SekretMachines.”

Tom’s thoughts on UFOs were detailed in his 2012 interview with Larry King.

NASA Photo Shows Apparent Mothership On Lunar’s Crater

An Apollo 15 photo sparks another theory of intelligent alien life on the Moon. It shows an alleged 10-kilometer long UFO mothership that appeared to be abandoned near the Waterman Crater. There’s speculation among UFO enthusiasts that the image had not been intended for release.

They say that it is almost impossible to detect the mysterious object because the location where it is located cannot be seen directly from Earth.

One of the two photographs had already been deleted supposedly by NASA. Some UFO researchers decided to preserve the image on video just in case NASA will also remove the only remaining photo.

nasa-ufo

Many speculate that the one responsible for releasing the photos did not know that they are classified Apollo 15 pictures. Others did not rule out the idea that the NASA employee who released the images tried to play the role of a whistleblower.

Some UFO conspiracy theorists went on to say that NASA knows the existence of alien race on the Moon and that they canceled Apollo 18 to 20 missions, not because of lack of funds. They explained that advanced aliens probably ordered NASA to leave and never return.

As a result, according to the conspiracy theory, NASA failed to bring back evidence of advanced ET technology for reverse engineering.

Blinking Lights in the Dark Sky Could Be A UFO Communication Attempt

charlotte-ufos

Strange lights have been observed in the night sky, and onlookers claimed they were from alien spacecraft.

UFO followers have been speculating online following the release of the strange lights video, which was captured on October 15, showing a cluster of between 5 and 10 lights. These lights appear to move randomly in dark skies over Charlotte, North Carolina.

A voice can be heard saying “Wow! What is it…?” as the camera tried to focus on the moving illuminations.

The videographer stated that he thought they were just flares off a chopper, but their unusual movements changed his mind.

YouTube username C Hulbert shared the footage, and it since receives mix comments.

One describes the footage as amazing and that it is the best he has seen in a while.

Another says it could be sky lanterns that appear to be blinking because they are moving and spinning in a low visibility amidst air pollution. He adds that sky lanterns could keep ascending higher and higher.

One commenter suggests that the lights could be a communication attempt. He noted that there are 3 luminosities for each light and all lights have two patterns. However, the one behind the camera moved around too much, so he can’t tell where the repetition point, making it impossible to know the message, according to the commenter.

The largest metallic asteroid in the solar system may have water on its surface, astronomers have found.

This SPACE.com infographic takes a look at the strange magnetic asteroid Psyche, which may be all that remains of what was once a protoplanet in the early solar system. See the full Psyche asteroid explainer infographic here.

The asteroid, called 16 Psyche, is one of the most massive in the asteroid belt. Researchers think the 186-mile-wide (300 kilometers) body, made of almost pure nickel-iron, might be the core of a world whose outer layers were blasted off by impacts billions of years ago.

Previous observations of Psyche showed no water on the surface. But according to Vishnu Reddy, an assistant professor at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, new data from the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility show evidence for water or hydroxyl, a molecule with one hydrogen atom bound to one oxygen atom, on Psyche's surface. Hydroxyl exists on Earth, but it is very reactive and tends to combine with other compounds — and in fact can remove those compounds from the air.

"We did not expect a metallic asteroid like Psyche to be covered by water and/or hydroxyl," Reddy said in a statement. "Metal-rich asteroids like Psyche are thought to have formed under dry conditions without the presence of water or hydroxyl, so we were puzzled by our observations at first."

Reddy presented his results Wednesday (Oct. 20) at the 48th meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences and 11th European Planetary Science Congress in Pasadena, California.

The water could have reached Psyche via past impacts from smaller asteroids that contain volatiles such as carbon, hydrogen and water, Reddy said.

NASA is currently reviewing a proposed mission to Psyche, which could tell astronomers whether the signal from the surface comes from water or hydroxyl.

The new research, co-authored by Reddy and led by Driss Takir at the U.S. Geological Survey, has been accepted to the Astronomical Journal, and can be read online here.

Proxima b Might Be a Habitable 'Ocean Planet'

By Samantha Mathewson, Space.com Contributor

The entire surface of Proxima b — the possibly Earth-like planet orbiting the closest star to the sun, Proxima Centauri — may be covered in a liquid ocean, according to a new study.

While there is still much to learn about the solar system's newfound neighbor, previous research found that Proxima b has two key features in common with Earth: it orbits within the habitable zone of its star — meaning it could have the right surface temperature to allow for the presence of liquid water— and it has a mass 1.3 times that of Earth.

Using this information, a team led by researchers at the Marseille Astrophysics Laboratory in France, developed different models to help discover what the conditions might be like on the rocky exoplanet, according to a statement from NASA. [Proxima b: Closest Earth-Like Planet Discovery in Pictures]

The new findings suggest Proxima b could have a large liquid ocean covering its entire surface and stretching 124 miles (200 kilometers) deep, as well as a thin gas atmosphere much like that found on Earth. These features favor the planet's potential for supporting life, according to the statement.

Scientists have proposed different ideas about Proxima b's composition and surface conditions, and the new models provide more information that could help inform those ideas, NASA officials said in the statement. Some of those ideas "involve a completely dry planet, while others permit the presence of a significant amount of water in its composition," according to the statement.

Using the planet's known mass (1.3 times that of Earth), the authors of the new research simulated different potential compositions for Proxima b and then estimated the radius of the planet for each of those scenarios. The study revealed that Proxima b could have a radius anywhere between 0.94 and 1.4 times that of Earth, according to the NASA statement.

For one of the potential composition models, the researchers found Proxima b may be an "ocean planet" similar to some of the icy moons around Jupiter and Saturn that harbor subsurface oceans. In this water-world scenario, the planet would have a radius of 5,543 miles (8,920 km), which is 1.4 times the radius of Earth. It would be composed of about 50 percent rock and 50 percent water. The pressure beneath this massive, deep ocean would be so strong that a layer of high-pressure ice would form, according to the NASA statement.

Another model developed in the study suggests Proxima b would have an internal composition similar to the planet Mercury, with a minimum radius of 3,722 miles (5,990 km), or 0.94 times the radius of the Earth. In this scenario, the planet would be incredibly dense, with a metal core accounting for 65 percent of the planet's mass. The rest of the planet would be composed of a rocky silicate mantle, and liquid water oceans accounting for less than 0.05 percent of the planet's mass (similar to that seen on Earth), according to the statement.

However, ultraviolet and X-rays from Proxima Centauri could leave the water on Proxima b prone to evaporation. To account for this, the researchers also calculated the radius of Proxima b with a completely dry composition.

"Future observations of Proxima Centauri will refine this study," NASA officials said in the statement. In particular, by measuring the abundance of certain heavy elements in the star system, scientists can further deduce the planet's likely composition, and its radius.

The study findings will be published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

New Horizons stuurt laatste geheimpje van Pluto naar de aarde

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Alle gegevens die New Horizons tijdens zijn scheervlucht langs Pluto – in juli vorig jaar – verzamelde, zijn nu in handen van onderzoekers.

Vijftien maanden had New Horizons nodig om de meer dan 50.000.000.000 bits aan informatie naar de aarde te sturen. Maar het is gelukt: alle info die de sonde verzamelde, is binnen. “Wij hebben onze pot met goud,” vertelt onderzoeker Alice Bowman hierover.

Werk aan de winkel!
“De gegevens die New Horizons over Pluto heeft verzameld, hebben ons keer op keer versteld doen staan over de schoonheid en complexiteit van Pluto en zijn manen,” vertelt onderzoeker Alan Stern. “Er moet nog veel werk verzet worden om de meer dan 400 wetenschappelijke observaties die allemaal naar de aarde zijn gestuurd, te begrijpen. En dat is exact wat wij gaan doen.”

Grootse ontdekkingen
New Horizons scheerde op 14 juli vorig jaar langs Pluto. Voorafgaand aan die scheervlucht wisten we eigenlijk niet hoe de dwergplaneet eruit zag en wat er op het oppervlak allemaal gaande was. Natuurlijk hadden onderzoekers daar wel ideeën over, maar wat heeft Pluto ons verrast! De dwergplaneet bleek veel spannender te zijn dan gedacht en onder meer bergen, kliffen en hoge nevels te bezitten. Tevens bezit Pluto de grootste gletsjer in het zonnestelsel en zijn er sterke aanwijzingen dat de dwergplaneet nog steeds geologisch actief is en er onder het oppervlak van Pluto wellicht een oceaan verborgen zit. En ook de manen van de dwergplaneet zijn spannender dan gedacht. Zo bezit Charon – de grootste maan van Pluto – één van de grootste klovensystemen die we ooit in ons zonnestelsel hebben gezien. En wie weet wat onderzoekers nog in de gegevens die New Horizons recentelijk naar de aarde stuurde, gaan ontdekken!

Dit plaatje laat zien waar New Horizons zich op dit moment bevindt. Afbeelding: NASA.

Op naar het volgende Kuipergordelobject!
New Horizons haast zich ondertussen van Pluto vandaan. De sonde is alweer meer dan 565 miljoen kilometer van de dwergplaneet verwijderd en onderweg naar Kuipergordelobject 2014 MU69. Recente observaties suggereren dat dit Kuipergordelobject net zo rood of misschien zelfs roder is dan Pluto.

Onderzoekers zullen binnenkort nagaan of we werkelijk alle gegevens van Pluto binnen hebben. Als dat het geval is, zullen de twee recorders aan boord van New Horizons gewist worden. Zo wordt ruimte gemaakt voor de schat aan informatie die New Horizons tijdens zijn ontmoeting met 2014 MU69 gaat verzamelen. Die ontmoeting staat gepland voor 1 januari 2019.

Jesus' Tomb Opened for First Time in Centuries

By Stephanie Pappas, Live Science Contributor

The original rock where Jesus Christ is traditionally believed to have been buried in Jerusalem has been exposed to the light of day for the first time in centuries.

According to an exclusive report by National Geographic, a partner in the project at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the original rock surface has been covered with marble slabs since at least 1555, and possibly longer. During a conservation project to shore up the shrine surrounding the tomb, a team from the National Technical University of Athens in Greece realized that they would need to access the substructure of the shrine to restore it, said Fredrik Hiebert, the archaeologist-in-residence at the National Geographic Society. [See Photos of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre]

"The Greek conservation group are the first, as far as we know, to actually open this," Hiebert told Live Science. "It's pretty exceptional."

Holy site

Some theological historians believe that Jesus was a real man who was born sometime around the year 1 or earlier in Bethlehem in modern-day Palestine, only later to move to Nazareth in Israel. He is thought to have died around the year 29.

Workers remove a marble slab covering the original stone "burial bed" where Jesus Christ is said to have been laid to rest after being crucified. A layer of loose fill material is seen beneath. Scientists were surprised at how much of the original cave structure remained, said National Geographic archaeologist-in-residence Fredrik Hiebert.

The site venerated as the tomb of Jesus is encased in structures like a Russian nesting doll. According to the Hebrew Bible, Jesus was laid to rest on a stone platform in a cave hewn out of a rock wall. In 326, the first Christian emperor of Rome, Constantine, sent his mother, Helena, as a representative to Jerusalem, where locals pointed out one cave among an area of first-century burials that was said to hold the tomb of Jesus.

Constantine had a shrine installed over the cave. The original top of the cave was removed so that pilgrims could look down and view the slab where Jesus' body was said to have rested. This shrine is known as the Holy Edicule, and it was last reconstructed after a fire in the early 1800s, according to National Geographic. [See Images of Jesus' House and Nazareth Artifacts]

The Holy Edicule itself sits within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or Church of the Resurrection, which is a famed pilgrimage site and working monastery. It's built directly over the cave where Jesus was said to be buried; another wing sits over the site where he is said to have been crucified. Three sects jointly manage the site: the Greek Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church and the Armenian Orthodox Church. The three groups agreed in 1958 that conservation of the Edicule was necessary, but it's taken nearly 50 years to agree on a method and to secure funding. (According to National Geographic, the project will cost more than $4 million.)

"There was a moment in which you could see on the faces of the important people of the church, a certain happiness that this has actually happened," Hiebert said of the conservation.

Shoring up history

A grid of iron bars installed in the 1940s held the Edicule structure upright until the project started. Now, Hiebert said, the Greek team — with years of experience under their belts of shoring up ancient structures like the Parthenon — will inject mortar around the marble slabs that make up the Edicule.

"This will permanently restore them, and it won't need supports," Hiebert said.

The conservation team was surprised at how much of the original cave structure remains, he said. They've peeled back marble slabs from the 19th century that were in turn covering slabs from the 15th century, covering slabs from the 12th century, which themselves shield the original bedrock.

As to whether the tomb ever contained the remains of the historicalJesus, "it's a matter of faith," Hiebert said. There are no remains to analyze or DNA evidence to exhume. There is scholarly debate over whether Jesus even existed, said Robert Cargill, an archaeologist and author of "The Cities that Built the Bible" (HarperOne, 2016). A minority of historians think Jesus was a literary construct, said Cargill, who was not involved in the new tomb project, while others think a real person named Jesusexisted but that little is known about him.

"We know that Romans crucified people and that people were buried there" in the first and second centuries, Cargill told Live Science. It's also known that there was an oral tradition about the site of Jesus' burial 300 years later, when Helena came to visit Jerusalem.

"We still don't have any [archaeological] evidence that Jesus was crucified, nor do we have evidence that he was crucified there beneath the Church of the Holy Sepulchre," Cargill said.

Nevertheless, Cargill said, the site is an important one for early Christianity and for the Christian cultural tradition.

"It has been a sacred place for 1,600 years," he said.

The excavations are unlikely to reveal anything new about the history of early Christianity, particularly since the current Edicule structure is only about 200 years old, Cargill said. However, the conservation project has opened up a new view of this old site.

"You can actually look down onto the rock from above, which you couldn't do when the Edicule is actually there," Cargill said. "That's a perspective that most people haven't seen."

No, 'Honeycomb' Clouds Don't Explain Bermuda Triangle Mystery

By Mindy Weisberger, Senior Writer

A satellite image showing peculiar hexagonal clouds over the ocean area known as the Bermuda Triangle is prompting speculation about whether they may represent a recurring phenomenon responsible for decades of unexplained disappearances in the region.

The photo appeared in the Science Channel's "What on Earth"? series in a recent episode about the Bermuda Triangle, a loosely defined area bound on the west by the tip of Florida, to the south by Puerto Rico and to the north by Bermuda. In the image, oddly shaped cloud networks hovered above the triangle's western tip, off the coast of Florida, over the Bahamas. Seen from above, the clouds appeared to form six-sided outlines, like honeycombs, with hard edges. They range in size from 20 to 55 miles (32 to 89 kilometers) across, according to the Science Channel.

According to the Science Channel, similar cloud formations in the North Sea near the U.K. have been associated with so-called "air bombs" — powerful downdrafts of air that could overpower and destroy ships and airplanes. But even though the clouds over the North Sea and the Bahamas may look the same, they likely have different causes and interact with the ocean below in different ways, experts say. [Gallery: Lost in the Bermuda Triangle]

The image over the Bahamas was captured in 2002 by NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on the Terra satellite. The Science Channel described the hexagons as measuring approximately 20 to 55 miles across, and invited comparison to an image of a similar cloud configuration 4,500 miles (7,200 km) away, over the North Sea.

Randy Cerveny, a meteorologist at Arizona State University, told the Science Channel that the hexagonal shapes were signatures of "microbursts," rapid and highly focused blasts of downward-moving air that can generate sea-surface winds reaching nearly 100 mph (161 km/h) and ocean waves towering more than 40 feet (12 meters) high — which could certainly wreak havoc on the sea surface and any vessel on or near it.

According to the Science Channel, radar images of the North Sea clouds did reveal underlying wind gusts close to 100 mph. However, the episode did not present any evidence that similar winds battered the Atlantic Ocean under the hexagonal clouds seen over the Bahamas in 2002, saying only that "scientists believe" the same winds existed.

And meteorologist Kevin Corriveau told NBC Newsthat the hexagonal shape of the Bermuda clouds did not display the distinctive signature of a microburst.

"You would normally have one large to extremely large thunderstorm that wouldn't have an opening in the middle," he said.

He explained that the weather patterns in the two areas were too different to allow comparisons between similar cloud shapes. Moreover, the peculiar formations in the Bahamas may have occurred because of erratic weather patterns created by small islands heating the air differently than the Florida coastline.

"I wouldn't say what we're seeing in the Bahamas is the exact same as in the North Sea," Corriveau said.

Honeycomb cloud networks are actually a regular occurrence under certain conditions in the mid-latitudes, according to NASA — they can take shape as part of a low-pressure system or cyclone when cold air masses move over warm water. And they can form as open-cell clouds — cloud outlines surrounding an empty space — or closed-cell clouds, which are solid shapes.

Since the 1940s, dozens of ships and airplanes have gone missing while traveling through the Bermuda Triangle. Disappearances were blamed on numerous implausible culprits, from the lost city of Atlantis to deep-sea methane blasts.

Equipment failure and human error are less dramatic explanations for vanished vessels in the Bermuda Triangle, but they are the most likely ones, experts say. "There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in a statement.

Men In Black: The Library Connection

Men In Black: The Library Connection

Nick Redfern

In June of this year I wrote an article here at Mysterious Universe titled “Libraries and Strange and Sinister Encounters.” It told the eerie tale of a UK-based UFO researcher, Nigel Wright. It was a story concerning UFOs, a library, and a mysterious “Woman in White.” Such “library cases” are far from being rare. I have far more than a few in my files, several of which I’m sharing with you now.

In 1967, John Keel investigated the odd case of Jane (actually a woman named Jaye Paro), who, after having a UFO encounter that had a “missing time” component to it, had a weird library-based experience. It was in May 1967 when the strange affair went down, and the location was the Mount Misery area of Huntington, New York. A couple of days after the encounter, something occurred that is a common factor in both MIB and Women in Black encounters: Jane received an odd and somewhat disturbing telephone call. The mysterious woman at the other end of the line did not identify herself to Jane. Instead, in a weird, “metallic”-sounding style, she instructed Jane to go to her local library, to ask the staff for a specific book on Native American history, and to then turn to page forty-two and read it. Very carefully. It was an extremely curious request, but Jane felt oddly drawn to follow the instructions of her anonymous woman.

dark-library3

Jane reached the library around mid-morning. Even her arrival was dominated by profound oddities: aside from the librarian and Jane herself, the building was completely empty of people and was vacuum-like in its silence and stillness. As for that same librarian, Jane described her as only a Woman in Black can be described: her hair was black, her eyes were “very black,” her skin was olive, and her black-colored outfit was curiously out of time. In Jane’s words, the WIB was dressed in “an old-fashioned suit like something out of the 1940s, with a long skirt, broad shoulders, and flat old-looking shoes.” Most astonishing of all, before Jane could say anything, the WIB handed her – from under a desk – a copy of the very book Jane had been instructed to seek out by her mysterious caller.

Jane, unsettled, but determined to find out what was going on, took a seat, opened the book and turned to page forty-two. As she did so, the writing on the page changed from large to small, and back again, several times. Rather amazingly, the writing then did something else: it morphed into a message. Jane was able to remember the entire, length message – word for word – something which suggested it had been subliminally implanted in her mind. She carefully wrote it down:

“Good morning, friend. You have been selected for many reasons. One is that you are advanced in auto-suggestion. Through this science we will make contact. I have messages concerning Earth and its people. The time is set. Fear not. I am a friend. For reasons best known to ourselves you must make your contacts known to one reliable person. To break this code is to break contact. Proof shall be given. Notes must be kept of the suggestion state. Be in peace.”

With that, Jane stood up from the chair and closed the book. The WIB was nowhere to be seen. Jane was all alone in a deserted, silent library. To say she fled the place in terror would be an understatement. Still focused on 1967, we have the following…

open-book

Gareth J. Medway, who has compiled an excellent resource tool for anyone wanting to learn about the history of Men in Black encounters, says of an October 1967 case: “Mrs. B. of Mamosa, San Luis Valley, Colorado, who had made a painting of a crescent UFO that she had seen, was visited by a man who told her: ‘I cannot read, but mention any book in any library and I will be able to tell you its contents [italics mine].’ He went on to say that humans waste too much time and energy on food ‘when it could all be so easily taken from the atmosphere.’ He insisted on buying her painting, so she set a high price, to which he replied that he had no money. He departed in a car which had an Arizona registration; months later police said they could not trace the plates.”

Peter Rojcewicz had a deeply strange, library-based encounter in November 1980. On the day in question, Rojcewicz was working on his PhD thesis in folklore. It was while doing research at the Library of the University of Pennsylvania that something very weird happened to Rojcewicz. He said: “It was a strange day, weather-wise, with erratic shifts of rain and wind and sun. It would get very blustery, and then it would become very calm. It was approximately 4:30 P.M. and already on the dark side.”

dark-library

As Rojcewicz studied hard, and as nightfall loomed, he suddenly became aware of a darkly-clad, tall and thin man in his midst. The odd character had tanned skin, black and greasy hair, sunken eyes, and a hard to define accent, but one which had a strong European flavor to it. In addition, he wore a Texan-style string tie. The man asked Rojcewicz what he was working on, and Rojcewicz told him that he was researching the UFO phenomenon. The MIB then proceeded to ask Rojcewicz if he had ever seen a UFO. He replied he was more interested in accounts of UFOs than whether or not they were alien craft. The MIB was not happy by Rojcewicz’s response. In a loud voice he said, ‘Flying saucers are the most important fact of the century, and you’re not interested?!’ The man then stood up – ‘as if mechanically lifted’ – put his hand on Rojcewicz’ shoulder, and added, as he walked away, ‘Go well in your purpose.'”

What does all this mean? I haven’t a clue! But, such reports proliferate – as do encounters with the MIB and WIB in bookstores, which is an equally strange issue I will return to at a later date.

The Roswell Case and a Curious Letter

The Roswell Case and a Curious Letter

Nick Redfern

1947-era documentation relative to the Roswell affair of July of that year is not non-existent. It is, however, certainly rare. One piece of documentation – not of military origin, but which came from a German citizen in the immediate wake of the controversial affair – is worth noting.

It’s a curious and interesting letter, to be sure. It was written by one Heinz-Adalbert Ahuis (see this link for information on Ahuis). At the time, he lived at 23 Asnabruck, Hansa-Str. 7, in what was then the British Zone of Germany. In his letter, which was sent to the American Embassy, and that was marked “Strongly Secret!”

Ahuis wrote:

“Dear Excellency: “Last few weeks in American and German papers I read much about the so-called ‘flying discs’ (or ‘flying targets’) that are said to be seen suddenly coming up in some states of your country, and that are disquieting your publicity so much. I would like to examine more accurate the type that came down near Roswell (New Mexico). Please, do also take this matter as serious as it really is, and do not think it a vision.”

Brigadier General Roger Ramey (left, holding a document)

Ahuis continued: “Just concerning this I am an expert. I am very skeptically as to the ‘calming-explanation’ of Brigadier General Roger Ramey and others, who say that these disks are merely meteorological observation-balloons – or supplements of them – etc. I am interested in this business very much, and so is the American Army, I am sure. In connection herewith and in order to explain my odd wish, Excellency, I must inform you of the following.”

Ahuis got to the point of his communication: “Since 1929 till the end of the war by the way as a hobby I occupied myself – completely interested in sport only – in developing flying-models of all kind and shape, chiefly sail-planes and rocket types. Sailplane-soaring was and still is my favorite sport. With my researches in 1936, among others, I met also the idea of the ‘flying disks’ and pursued it, considering it already at that time once to be of any importance. Later I searched into the qualities of this model in connection with rocket-experiments, and about the good result I was extremely surprised. (Nowadays we could already use atomic power, too).

A WWII-era German model sailplane

“I found, that my models of a ‘flying disk’ – in smaller and bigger size – 1.) for the investigation of the sphere, 2.) for military aims, and 3.) for the air-traffic of the future could and presumably will play a not too undervaluing figure, and in many a point even it will be superior to all other planes and rocket-projectiles, including the German ‘V-2 – rocket’ you know already; for I think it possible, manned_disks 1.) to fly every course we want, and 2.) to and safely again, (what we cannot absolutely affirm 3.) the most rocket-constructions know until today).”

German V-2 rocket

Ahuis signed-off: “I am ready to continue my researches and developments of such a kind of disk-models and disk-planes (as well as still other very interesting ones) on a place in U.S.A. that seems fit for that purpose. Perhaps I may come and see you once to talk about some details necessary?”

To what extent – if at all – Ahuis’ letter was followed up on remains unknown. Maybe, he just wanted to get the hell out of war-torn Germany and he used his UFO-themed letter as a form of leverage. We’ll probably never know.

Lake Winnipegosis and a Monster

At the dawning of the 20th century, a man named Oscar Frederickson, of Lake Winnipegosis, Canada wrote a fascinating and extensive report on his knowledge of huge lake monsters in the early decades of the twentieth century, all of which came from witnesses, both first- and second-hand.

He began his account like this: “In 1903, I lived with my parents on Red Deer Point, Lake Winnipegosis. Our house was situated about two hundred yards from the shore. About a mile south of our place lived a man by the name of Ferdinand Stark. One day Stark was down by the lake shore when he saw what he thought was a huge creature in the lake. It was moving northward along the shore, a short distance out.”

Fredericson continued: “Stark wanted someone else to see the strange animal, and as we were his nearest neighbors, he came running along the lake to our place. All the while, he could see the creature moving in the same direction as he was, only going a little slower than he was running. Stark arrived at our home very much excited and breathing heavily, and asked my dad and mother to hurry down to the lake to see a strange animal in the water. By the time my parents got down to the lake shore, there was nothing to be seen. Whatever Stark had seen had disappeared. Looking somewhat bewildered, but still visibly excited, Stark began to describe what he had seen. All he could see of the creature was its big back sticking out of the water, and it was very dark or black in color. A number of gulls followed it and kept flying down to it as if they were picking at it. My parents did see quite a number of gulls still flying around.”

Fredericson was not done with lake monsters: he had just gotten started. “In 1935, Mr. Cecil Rogers of Mafeking and I made a trip to Grand Rapids on Lake Winnipegosis. While there, I called on Mr. Valentine McKay, a resident of Grand Rapids for many years. As we were talking, the conversation drifted to strange animals that had existed at one time. To my surprise, McKay said he had seen some such animal in Lake Winnipegosis.”

McKay, very pleased by the fact that Frederickson took his story seriously and did not poke fun at him, prepared a carefully written statement for the monster hunter, which read as follows: “In September, 1909, I was traveling alone in a canoe from Shoal River on Lake Winnipegosis to Grand Rapids on Lake Winnipeg. At the time I saw this animal I was standing on the lake shore. I had stopped at Graves’ Point to make tea. I was at the edge of the bush getting willows for a campfire, when I heard a rumbling sound like distant thunder. As I looked out on the glassy surface of the calm water, I saw a huge creature propelling itself on the surface of the water about four hundred yards out from shore. A large part must have been submerged, judging by the great disturbance of the water around it.

“The creature’s dark skin glistened in the autumn sun, and I estimated it was moving at the rate of two to three miles an hour. As I watched it, a member of the body shot up about four feet, vertically, out of the water. This portion seemed to have something to do with the creature’s method of locomotion. The course it was taking was toward Sugar Island or Steep Rock. I watched it till it went out of sight. The number of gills, hovering around this creature, followed it as far as I could see.”

Frederickson had something notable to say on this particular story: “Mr. McKay said he had described this creature to a geologist by the name of Craig who said it was quite possible that it was a remaining specimen of a prehistoric animal that was once plentiful.”

A convenient log for monster watching on the shore of Lake Winnipegosis

On the matter of the two men in question – Ferdinand Stark and Valentine McKay – Frederickson made a number of observations and comments: “A great many people will think these two men just made up a story about seeing some strange animal or creature in Lake Winnipegosis. But, it is hardly probable that both men would think up a yarn about the gulls. Stark and McKay never met, as far as I could find out. Stark moved from Winnipegosis about 1904 or 1905, and where he is now, if still living, I have not been able to find out.”

Frederickson had yet another account to relate on this particular matter of unidentified, large beasts on the loose in the early part of the twentieth century: “In 1934, Captain Sandy Vance lived on Graves’ Point. One day he was over at Sitting Island, which is on the northeast side of the point. He saw what he thought was a huge animal a short distance off shore. Vance said it was the biggest living creature he had ever seen in water. Mr. Vance had been captain on freight tugs for many years on Lake Winnipeg and Lake Winnipegosis. He said he had often seen moose and deer in water, so there is no reason not to believe that he saw some str.ange living creature. Captain Vance died some years ago. He was well known here”

And, finally, there is the following, short but intriguing, account from Frederickson: “There are quite a few Natives who have seen some strange thing. They call it ‘the big snake.’ Those of Shoal River claim that a monstrous animal was seen often off Sugar Island and Steep Rock in Dawson Bay during the latter part of the 19th century.”

Who Descended the Side of an Erupting Volcano, Leaving an Ancient Trail Behind?

Roccamonfina volcano, Italy (public domain)

Descending the side of the Roccamonfina Volcano in northern Italy, sets of humanoid footprints had long been considered the imprint of the Devil, for the footprints were most certainly made when the slope of the volcano was molten. And who but the Devil could walk on flowing lava without burning his feet? Since the ancient footprints? discovery in the late 18th century, the local people assumed that the Ciampate del Diavolo (Devil?s Footprints) were evidence of the demon coming out of hell through the crater of the volcano and joining mankind on Earth. This theory held for over two centuries until 2002, when two amateur archaeologists brought the trail to the attention of the world.

The site, located between the villages of Tuoro/Foresta and Piccilli in Campania, Italy, consists of three sets of fossilized footprints and a few scattered handprints. Those who did not believe them to be the mark of the Devil thought that they were ancient animal tracks. It was not until researchers from the University of Padua examined the prints that they were revealed to have a human origin. Moreover, it is believed that the prints were made sometime between 385,000 and 325,000 years ago. This rendered the Devil?s Footprints the oldest known human prints, a title the tracks held until the discovery of the English Happisburgh Prints in 2013, which date back around 800,000 years.

Footprints of ancient humans are rarely so well preserved in an open environment. Experts believe that these tracks were impressed into a volcanic pyroclastic flow- typically consisting of ash, pumice, and rock fragments – and were then covered with volcanic ash. A paper published by the Univeristy of Padua team states, ?Stratigraphical studies demonstrated that the sediments are pyroclastic density current deposits, results of multiple collapses of a Sub-Plinian eruptive column of Roccamonfina volcano?the trampled surface was covered with another pyroclastic flow? (Santello, 2008). It was not until the late 18th/ early 19th century that erosion had sufficiently worn aware the volcanic layers to reveal the prints.

Of the many remarkable features of the Devil?s Footprints, one of the most striking is the occasional handprint found alongside them on the cliff face of the volcano. This suggests that the tracks were made by hominids that walked upright but needed to steady themselves as they made the perilous descent down the steep slope. This theory is reinforced by evidence that suggests the track makers carefully chose their paths down the mountainside. The first set of tracks, consisting of 27 footprints, forms the shape of a ?Z?, suggesting the walker adopted the switchback technique of going downhill. The second and third set of tracks, consisting of 19 and 10 tracks respectively, go down the slope in relatively straight lines. All the tracks were made by walking, not running.

These tracks give us unique insight into the activities of some of the earliest known Europeans,? said Paolo Mietto from the University of Padua. ?No previous records of prelate Pleistocene tracks are known that show associated hand prints, nor are there any such striking examples of deliberate efforts to negotiate steep surfaces.?

The researchers believe that the makers of the tracks were fully bipedal (two-footed) hominids with a freestanding gait (meaning they only needed to use their arms for support or to regain balance). ?These tracks were made by pre-sapien species, possibly a late European Homo Erectus or Homo Heidelbergensis? said Mietto, mentioning a Neanderthal forerunner. The footprints are approximately 8 inches (20cm) long and 4 inches (10cm) wide. The average stride is about 4 feet (1.2 m) and the average space between the two feet is about two feet (0.6m). Based on this information, the experts can conclude that the print makers were only about 5 feet (1.5m) tall.Model of the head and shoulders of an adult male Homo heidelbergensis on display in the Hall of Human Origins in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. (public domain)

Today, we may never know what people were doing up on the volcano. Given that all the tracks lead in the same direction- away from the volcano?s crater ? a widely held theory posits that the hominids were descending the volcano to escape the eruption. ?During the repose period between an eruptive event and the following one of the same volcanic series, meteoric precipitations occurred, saturating the surface. Then numerous hominids walked over the plastic and relatively cold surface, leaving the traces of their passage? (Santello, 2008).

In other words, ?It is reasonable to infer that these humans actually witnessed the eruption,? said Mietto.

While the Devil?s Footprints are the oldest preserved footprints of the Homo genus, they are not the oldest hominid footprints; that honor belongs to the famed Laetoli footsteps in Tanzania, tracks left 3.5 million years ago by the human ancestor Australopithecus afarensis.

While Renovating A House In Egypt Someone Found These Mysterious Coins

It is possible that the coin show visiting aliens on planet earth? According to many ufologist is zobrazeniepráve such evidence.

Finding coins is nothing new. The story revived Website on the UFO phenomenon

It is interesting that similar depictions are found on many coins and images.

Equally puzzling is the inscription on the reverse of the coin ?OPPORTUNUS Adest? which in free translation means ?It?s here in due time.?

Strange People Who Shifted to Other Dimensions

Do other realities brush up against our own? Are there parallel dimensions lying just beyond through some thin, untraceable veil separating us? The idea of parallel realities beyond our own is not new, yet what if this phenomenon were to come bursting forth from the realm of theory and speculation and come crashing down into the now? Are there perhaps some people who have stepped over that barrier into domains we have not yet to see and which we may indeed not even be meant to see? I have covered such alleged excursions into the horizon beyond our known reality here at Mysterious Universe before, and here I will revisit this topic with a selection of other cases that seem to imply the possibility that not only are parallel dimensions real, but that they are destinations to which we can be whisked away, whether intentional or not.

In the September, 1956 issue of Fate Magazine there was the curious story of a woman who apparently shifted into another parallel universe in 1934. According to the report, in the fall of that year a woman by the name of Miriam Golding had a profoundly unusual experience while riding an elevator with her fiancee in Chicago. The elevator was crowded, and when Miriam made a mistake and got off at the wrong floor she found that she could not push her way back in past the throng of people and resigned herself to waiting for the next one. That was when she looked around and was startled to realize that she was no longer in the store at all, but rather an expansive train station.

The enormous railway station she found herself in was allegedly bustling with fevered activity, with throngs of travelers rushing to their trains and booming announcements of arrivals and departures echoing through the air. There seemed to be no way this busy place could have any connection whatsoever to the music store she had been in moments before. The confused Miriam made her way to an information booth to ask where she was, but found that the woman working there completely ignored her, as if she weren’t there at all. Perplexed, Miriam followed a series of signs pointing the way to the street outside, and she emerged out into a mild, sunny afternoon that seemed to be in the midst of summer rather than fall, in a place that was most certainly not Chicago.

She wandered about in confusion and noticed that everyone around her seemed to completely ignore her and walk on by as if they did not even see her. At some point she claims that she saw a confused looking boy standing in the sidewalk similarly being passed on by people who seemed to have no idea he was even there, and Miriam approached him wondering what was going on. The boy was able to actually see and respond to her, and looked in her direction, the first time anyone had acknowledged her presence in this strange, surreal place. As she approached, the boy seemed equally relieved that he was visible to Miriam, smiled slightly and purportedly saying: “I guess they let you off at the wrong stop, too.”

The two lost people walked together down the street in confusion, the whole time completely ignored by those around them, and the boy told Miriam of what had happened to him. He claimed that he had been playing tennis in Lincoln, Nebraska, in the United States, and had gone to the locker room to change his shoes. When he had gone back to the courts to play some more he had found that the tennis courts that had been there moments before were now gone and in their place was a huge train terminal, which had turned out to be the exact same station into which Miriam had enigmatically entered from the elevator.

The two allegedly kept on walking until they reached an open area that led to water, and over the waves they could apparently make out a sand bar with several women upon it chatting and seeming to act as if nothing was beyond the ordinary. To Miriam’s astonishment, one of the women was oddly her fiancee’s sister. The women out on the sandbar seemed to notice them and began waving and shouting to Miriam and her companion. This encouraged the boy to try and make a swim out to the sandbar, which did not seem so far and which he was confident he could reach. Yet even though he was a good swimmer it seemed that no matter how much he tried and pushed against the waves, he was unable to draw any closer to the mysterious sandbar and he returned to shore in frustration. It was then that the sandbar supposedly suddenly vanished into thin air.

Miriam closed her eyes in exasperation, disappointment, and exhaustion, and then was overcome by the sensation of floating through space. After some time of this odd feeling of hovering in darkness she claimed that she suddenly opened her eyes to find herself sitting atop a stool in the music store in Chicago, which seemed to be in the process of closing for the night, suggesting that she had been there for at least several hours. Disoriented, Miriam looked around for her fiancee but could not find him and decided to head back to his home. When she arrived, her fiancee was noticeably relieved and explained that he had lost her in the store and had waited for her to come to the right floor for a few hours before deciding to go back home. Bizarrely, the fiancee’s sister, whom Miriam had seen on the mysterious sandbar earlier, claimed that she had seen Miriam in town and had even called out to her, but that she had been too absorbed in talking to a young boy to notice her. Where did Miriam go during that time? Why should she see her fiancee’s sister on a sandbar while the sister had seen her in town, all while they could not reach across to communicate? Were they separated by strange barriers we do not and may not ever understand? It is a mystery.

Another strange article in the April, 1959 issue of Fate Magazine tells of the weird experience of a Frances E. Peterson of Keokuk, Iowa, who in 1935 was traveling home with her husband and four children from a weekend trip to Missouri. On the way they noticed what looked like a quaint, scenic detour in the area of St. Patrick and they whimsically took it, driving along the rustic, quiet scenery until they reached the rim of an expansive valley. In addition to the picturesque scenery was the rather odd sight of several women in old-fashioned sun bonnets and long skirts and aprons busily pulling water from a well into simple wooden buckets and carrying them off on wooden poles balanced across their shoulders. There were men here as well, who all had beards and wore similarly old-fashioned clothes such as smocks and large black hats, and who were tending flocks of sheep and goats or collecting firewood. Enamored with the quaint, charming scene, they later asked locals what the settlement was, yet were told that no such place had ever existed. Convinced that it did indeed exist, Peterson and her husband returned to the area several times afterwards, but could find no sign of the valley they had seen or its unusual inhabitants, suggesting that either the family or the place they had visited had been temporarily transported over some little understood thin spot between realities.

In another similarly strange road story from 1962, a Mr. R. W. Balcom and his wife were driving to Lake Tahoe from their home in Live Oak, California. The couple stopped at a quaint restaurant nestled away off of Highway 50 a few miles from Placerville. They had never noticed the restaurant there before in all of their years of traveling along the same route, even though it seemed from its weathered, rustic look to have been there for years, and they decided to stop there for a bite to eat. The food was described as being surprisingly good and the service was cordial and friendly, so they decided that they would visit again. On their return trip from Lake Tahoe they attempted to seek out the charming little restaurant to eat there again, but when they arrived at the location it was reportedly gone as if it had never been there at all. Perplexed, the couple supposedly spent three more weekends traveling through the area in an effort to find the restaurant that they were convinced was there, but never found it again. Did Balcom and his wife travel to a parallel universe for lunch? No one knows.

An intriguing case of a mysterious doorway to another dimension and perhaps even through time itself occurred in 1956, when a treasure hunter by the name of Ron Quinn ventured with his brother Chuck and some friends into the remote and rugged mountains of Southeastern Arizona looking for mysterious lost Spanish treasures and gold mines. The case begins with high strangeness and only gets more bizarre as it goes on. Three weeks into their adventure, the treasure hunters set up camp one night, and that evening they were surprised to see two large balls of bluish green light floating about in the darkened, starry sky. The bewildered campers determined that these were not flares of any kind, nor any sort of known aircraft. The weird balls of light hovered about for several minutes before vanishing behind some mountain peaks. The next evening, the same phenomenon was witnessed again. When they mentioned the strange lights to a local cowboy named Louie Romero, he informed them that the unexplained lights were a recurring phenomenon in the area, and had been seen as far back as 1939. The group would spot the strange lights several more times over the course of their excursion.

Ron and Chuck Quinn

At one point during their travels, the group passed by what looked like a stone archway, which stood out as something of an anomaly upon the landscape, looking decidedly out of place, yet they didn’t think much of it until later, when they spoke to a Native local named John, who claimed that the archway had long been surrounded by strange stories and rumors that anyone who entered the doorway never came out, and that objects thrown in would not emerge from the other side, earning the structure the name “Doorway of the Gods.” There were also stories of the archway shimmering, and of strange figures lurking around it dressed in old fashioned clothing that did not seem to be ghosts, as they disturbed the gravel where they stepped and cast shadows, yet they would suddenly vanish. There were also tales of camps near the archway that had been mysteriously abandoned and of prospectors who had never returned from the area. John relayed his own tale of strangeness concerning the archway, claiming that one dark and stormy day he had visited it and peered through it to see that, although the scenery was the same, the sky was oddly clear and blue on the other side. When he looked around the edge of the doorway, the clouds were once again dark and thick, hanging menacingly over the scene, and the bizarre sight with its contrasting views frightened him.

Enthralled with these odd stories, Quinn and his group went back through the perilous rocky terrain to find the mysterious archway and investigate it. They managed to locate the strange looking structure once again, and upon closer inspection it proved to be surrounded with an unusually large deposit of geodes, some of which were broken open with their interiors glittering in the sun. The archway itself was measured as being around 7 feet high and 5 feet wide, with columns of andesite 15 inches diameter and it stood beside a steep, rocky slope. After checking it out, the team went to work testing out the weird stories by throwing various rocks through the opening, but the rocks all mundanely fell to the ground on the other side and there was no sign of anything remotely mysterious whatsoever. Increasingly skeptical, some of the members of the team boldly put their arms through without incident, although no one was willing to try stepping all the way through. After around an hour of this, they departed no closer to understanding the supposed mystery of this location. However, a weird series of events would unfold in the coming days that would make them think that something strange was going on.

Chuck Quinn with some of the geodes from the site

One day as they were checking out the portal yet again and collect some of the geodes, Roy and another member of the team, Walt, noticed that the stone portal seemed to be shimmering as if simmering in intense heat, even though it was a cold January day. The odd shimmering allegedly lasted a few minutes, during which time both men claimed that they could feel a building pressure within their ears, before the shimmering and the weird physical sensation slowly ebbed away. The inexplicable event spooked both of them, especially Roy, who vowed never to go anywhere near the archway again. On another occasion, the group came across another group of three treasure hunters who claimed that they had also camped out near the mysterious stone portal. The group claimed that that evening their camp had been hit by what sounded like rain hitting their tents, even though it was a clear night. Looking out of their tents, they were met with the sight of small, reddish brown pebbles around the size of a pea falling in great numbers from above. The pebbles were found to be warm to the touch and there was no explanation for where they came from. They had seemed to be made of some king of iron ore.

All of these escalating odd occurrences would point to something decidedly strange going on at the archway, but the most bizarre incident would happen years after the expedition was over. Four years after that fateful treasure hunt, on October 14, 1973, Chuck Quinn was compelled to make a personal trip to the site of the stone portal that had eluded their understanding, and arrived at the canyon that led up to the slopes that would lead up to the site. Chuck went about climbing up the steep, rocky slopes towards the archway, stopping for a breather about halfway up the harrowing climb. It was here as he looked out west over the majestic scenery all around him that he noticed that there was a canyon that should not have been there. Baffled, he made his way back down the slope to enter from the east, and it was here that he realized that in fact he was in the same canyon he had been in before, only he had somehow been transported 250 yards down the canyon he had hiked along, and to another slope that was facing south rather than west. The strange event convinced him that indeed there was something strange going on here, and hastily left the scene. Was this some sort of doorway to another dimension or merely tall tales?

One wonders if perhaps some of the more bizarre vanishings and reappearances of people also have some form of interdimensional shift at their core. At about 7:00 P.M. on August 15, 1960, 6-year-old Kathy Cramer, of Wood’s Hole, Massachusetts simply vanished from her room in her home. Her parents had checked on her when she was sleeping one minute, and the next she was gone without a trace. When authorities arrived the house was searched top to bottom, and no signs of forced entry or a struggle could be found. Cathy’s bed seemed to be in a peaceful state, with no sign of being disturbed in any kind of confrontation. The window to the room was also closed and showed no signs of anyone coming in or going out that way.

An intensive search was immediately launched, composed of hundreds of people including police, firemen, volunteers, airmen from nearby Otis Air Force Base, and bloodhounds, as well as the Coast Guard scouring the nearby coast, yet absolutely no evidence of the missing girl could be found anywhere. She had simply vanished off the face of the earth. Then later, at 3AM on that same evening, Cathy’s very worried parents went into to her room to be startled by the sight of their missing daughter sleeping peacefully in her bed as if she had never been gone. When she was asked about where she had been, the girl gave the cryptic response of “I’m not telling.” What in the world happened to this little girl? How could a 6-year-old disappear from her bed, elude an intensive search by various professionals, and then reappear fast asleep exactly where she had vanished? Is this also perhaps an example of someone crossing through the veil between realities to pass temporarily into some parallel world or dimension? The only person who knows the answer to that is Cathy Cramer herself, and she’s not telling.

So are any of these accounts somehow anchored in any way to reality as we know it? Are these the realm of the lost mind untethered, spinning fantastical tales either out of hallucination, insanity, or an irrational attempt to make sense of distorted perceptions? Can this all simply be explained away somehow or is there a genuine phenomenon hinting at forces of the universe we have yet to comprehend buried within these disparate accounts? Are we perhaps just one of many alternate realities stacked upon one another and which between slips, shifting and travel are possible? The answers are elusive, and we may continue to pour over and debate them forever. However as long as there is the probability and possibility of worlds beyond our own there will always be those who look out into our universe, or perhaps inward, to seek to try to grasp just what this all might mean. In the meantime, cases like this will remain a tantalizing peek into what just may be out there beyond our grasp to conceive of it.

New Study Claims Life on Mars Discovered in 1976 by Viking 1

While most of the space world is waiting (as of this writing) for word whether the European Space Agency?s Schiaparelli EDM lander successfully landed on Mars, a new paper claims that the first probe to land on Mars way back in 1976 found conclusive evidence of life on the Red Planet. Is this a matter of technology finally catching up with the data or evidence of a cover-up?

On July 20, 1976, Viking 1 became the first spacecraft to land successfully on Mars. One of the tests conducted by Viking 1 was the Labeled Release (LR) experiment. A sample of Martian soil was mixed with a drop of very dilute aqueous nutrient solution whose nutrients were marked with a radioactive isotope of carbon. The air above the sample was monitored and tested positive for radioactive carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, which would indicate that microorganisms in the soil had metabolized the nutrients. The same experiment was conducted by the Viking 2 lander over 6,000 km away with the same result.

Soil near the Viking 1 lander

And yet ? there was no celebration or big announcement of life being discovered on Mars. Why? The other biological experiments on the Viking 1 lander gave negative results, causing project leaders to dismiss the LR results as errors ?most likely caused by a non-biological soil oxidant,?

Dr. Gilbert V. Levin and Dr. Patricia Ann Straat recently published an article in the Journal Astrobiology which questions that conclusion. With new evidence of liquid water, complex organic molecules and methane on Mars, they believe that Viking 1?s LR experiment was right. This would be a moral victory for them since Levin and Straat were the Viking 1 LR experiment leaders.

The Viking 1 experiments system (Wikipedia)

To prove the results were not in error, they conducted the LR experiment again using Earth soil similar to the Martian surface and let it sit for two months in a dark room. When they checked, they found the same results as Viking 1.

Is this conclusive evidence of life on Mars? Not quite, but it?s enough to prompt Levin and Straat to warn their successors planning missions to bring soil samples from Mars back to Earth.

Plans for any Mars sample return mission should also take into account that such a sample may contain viable, even if dormant, alien life. We cannot rule out the biological explanation. This has implications for plans for sample return from Mars and future human missions.

Were the original results of the Viking 1 LR experiment covered up? It?s hard to prove. Viking Project scientist Dr. Gerald Soffen is often cited as the one responsible for calling it an error, saying ?That?s the ball game. No organics on Mars, no life on Mars.? That dictated the direction of all future Mars missions away from looking for life and instead towards sending humans to the planet to bring back lifeless soil samples.

Was Viking 1 right all along?

Oostenrijk in de ban van UFO’s: Vreemd object gespot boven Wenen, Graz en andere steden

In Oostenrijk kreeg de politie vrijdag veel telefoontjes van bezorgde mensen over een ongeïdentificeerd vliegend object in de lucht boven hoofdstad Wenen. Er werden ook filmpjes op internet geplaatst.

Lokale media kregen vele tientallen foto’s binnen van mensen die het vreemde vaartuig boven de stad hadden gezien en gefotografeerd, meldt The Local.

Het oplichtende object werd ook gesignaleerd boven andere steden in het land, waaronder de zuidelijke stad Graz.

Niet gereageerd

Volgens sommigen leek de UFO op een quadrocopter, een vliegtuigje dat wordt aangedreven door vier propellers.

De autoriteiten hebben nog niet gereageerd op de waarnemingen.

Lichtbol

Het is niet voor het eerst dat een UFO-waarneming heeft geleid tot ophef in Oostenrijk. Tijdens nieuwjaarsnacht filmde student Marie Mela uit Neder-Oostenrijk een UFO die werd getroffen door de bliksem.

In het filmpje zijn dansende mensen te zien. Tussen het vuurwerk door verschijnt vervolgens een lichtbol in de lucht.

Het mysterie rond de waarneming is nooit opgehelderd, hoewel sommigen menen dat het in scène is gezet.

VIDEO: ‘Verborgen’ bos in de vorm van enorm Keltisch kruis ontdekt in Ierland

In een bos in het noorden van Ierland is een enorm Keltisch kruis ontdekt, dat alleen vanuit de lucht te aanschouwen is.

Het bijna 100 meter lange en 70 meter brede kruis is gemaakt door een boswachter die de figuur creëerde door verschillende soorten bomen te planten.

De boswachter, Liam Emmery, overleed zes jaar geleden. “We waren eigenlijk al een beetje vergeten dat hij het kruis gemaakt had,” vertelde zijn vrouw Norma. “Maar hij zou het erg leuk hebben gevonden, al die aandacht die het nu krijgt.”

Herfst

Het kruis in het Donegal-bos is in de herfst goed te zien omdat de bladeren van de bomen die de figuur vormen anders kleuren dan de omringende bomen.

Vanwege de extra droge herfst is het kleurverschil nog duidelijker te zien dan normaal. Het kruis werd opgemerkt door vliegtuigpassagiers die op weg waren naar het City of Derry Airport.

Op onderzoek

Al snel werd op social media druk gespeculeerd over de herkomst van het kruis, waarna een journalist van UTV Northern Ireland op onderzoek uitging, meldt ITV.

“Hij hield ervan als dingen perfect waren,” vertelde Norma aan de Irish Post. “En ik denk dat het kruis voor hem perfect was.”

Bekijk hieronder een filmpje van het Keltische kruis:

BIZARRE GELUIDEN UIT SLOWAKIJE MISSCHIEN AANWIJZIGING OMTRENT OORZAAK ? ( VIDEO )

BIZARRE GELUIDEN UIT SLOWAKIJE MISSCHIEN AANWIJZIGING OMTRENT OORZAAK ? ( VIDEO )

Nog steeds worden er op regelmatige basis op verschillende plaatsen op aarde vreemde, onverklaarbare en angstaanjagende geluiden gehoord.

Zo ook weer onlangs in Slovakije, maar dit keer is er misschien toch een concrete aanwijzing omtrent de oorzaak van dit alles.

De geluiden die worden gehoord, zijn ook niet altijd hetzelfde en dat geldt ook voor het hiernavolgende geluid dat onlangs is opgenomen in Slovakije.

Het is natuurlijk ook niet zeker of al die verschillende geluiden op alle mogelijke plaatsen dezelfde oorzaak hebben (zie daarvoor ook de video helemaal onderaan dit artikel).

Voor ons springen er twee concrete mogelijkheden uit en dat is enerzijds de nadering van het mini-zonnestelsel Nibiru en anderzijds zaken zoals HAARP, waarover straks meer.

Afgezien van de bizarre geluiden is er iets anders dat opvalt in Slovakije en dat is de lucht, die er allesbehalve uit ziet als een lucht zoals je op een doorsnee dag zou verwachten.

Tijdens het geluid zag de lucht er als volgt uit:

De vraag is dan ook of het toeval is dat het geluid zich voor doet op het moment dat de lucht eruit ziet zoals hierboven.

Dit is de video, met zowel beeld als geluid op 15 oktober 2016:

Een inwoner van Amerika denkt de oplossing te hebben:

It's nothing to worry about, just Hillary communicating with the devil about her plans for America, happens all the time.

Als we er vanuit gaan dat dit geluid daadwerkelijk zo is opgenomen, met die lucht, dan zou dat wel eens in de richting van HAARP kunnen wijzen.

Een stukje uit een eerder artikel over de mogelijke effecten van HAARP:

Een lezer stuurt ons het volgende bericht (dank!):

Ik las op Facebook dat verschillende landen geteisterd worden door vreemde geluiden uit de lucht, dat het klinkt als een trompet geluid, en dat niemand met zekerheid kan zeggen waar het vandaan komt.

Volgens sommige onderzoekers komt het bij het H.A.A.R.P vandaan (het project dat zich bezig houdt met het het met op verscheidene frequenties beïnvloeden van de elektromagnetische beschermlaag rond de aarde).

Wellicht is HAARP de oorzaak.

Om daar meer over te weten te komen raden wij om het volgende fascinerende interview te bekijken/beluisteren wat Dark Journalist (DJ) enkele dagen geleden had met de auteur Elena Freeland.

Zij schreef het boek, “Chemtrails, HAARP and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planeth Earth”, een boek wat door DJ het beste boek ooit over dit soort onderwerpen wordt genoemd.

Het werk is het resultaat van 20 jaar onderzoek van Freeland naar de verschillende geo-engineering programma’s.

Het doel van al die programma’s is om wat zij noemt het Global Information Grid (GIG) samen te voegen met een kunstmatig geïoniseerde atmosfeer en het biologische weefsel van mensen, dieren en de frequentie van een Artificial Intelligence (kunstmatige intelligentie) programma.

Het uiteindelijke doel is om volledige controle over en centralisatie van alle mensen en gegevens te krijgen, met voltooiingsdatum 2025.

Tijdens het maken van dit artikel kwamen we nog een interessante video tegen van iemand die probeert te ontrafelen wat deze geluiden veroorzaakt:

Are You An Alien Human Hybrid? Find Out Now. Oct 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of video: Aug 13, 2015

Do you have knowledge that you can't explain where it came from, and yet its there? Can you feel this knowledge inside you, like it was in your DNA? Like an animal born with the knowledge of flying south for the winter, its in you...without any reason as to how you got it? Then you may be an alien hybrid. These hybrids were not made for aliens to mingle with humanity, they were made to raise the level of awareness of humanity. If you find yourself saying yes, then, have you put off that calling in side you, or have you strengthened it and made it grow...allowed it to become your passion. Like Mark Zuckerberg...do you really think he just got lucky? Luck had nothing to do with it. Its about skill, focus and passion...which is still working well for him...and yet its also raising the awareness of humanity to the things around them.
Scott C. Waring

Video states:
One of the most disturbing claims involving extraterrestrials the creation of human-alien hybrids. Abductees insist that Grays routinely extract human egg and sperm samples and combine them with alien genes in special breeding rooms. The resulting human-alien embryos are said to gestate in incubator-like trays until, some months later, they are "born." The delicate, beatific-looking hybrids crave the loving human touch, it is said, but can survive only in the protective cocoon of the alien ship.Virtually all UFO investigators contend that if hybrids exist, they do so only up there, on Gray vessels in the great beyond. But we at OMNI would like to propose another option: Perhaps the aliens have also created embryos that are, say, 25 percent alien and 75 percent human, and have gestated them not in an incubator, but in an actual earthbound human abductee. If so, this heartier, distinctly more human version of the hybrid might be among us. One of them might even be . . . YOU!

Extraterrestrials known as Alien-Human Hybrids are created through processes and procedures that occur during and after the abduction of, and/or visits with, Humans by ETs and Advanced Intelligences. Many, but not all, Hybrid beings are a biological combination between Humans and what we believe to be Extraterrestrials and Advanced Intelligences.

Mysterious Star Pulses May Be Alien Signals, Study Claims

By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

Strange pulses of cosmic light might be signals from hundreds of different alien civilizations — or just the latest false alarm in the tortuous search for ET.

This month, astrophysicists Ermanno Borra and Eric Trottier, both from Laval University in Quebec, announced that they had spotted mysterious light signals coming from 234 different stars in our Milky Way galaxy. These pulses match the profile of signals that Borra, in a 2012 paper, predicted intelligent aliens might use to get our attention, the authors wrote.

"We find that the detected signals have exactly the shape of an ETI [extraterrestrial intelligence] signal predicted in the previous publication and are therefore in agreement with this hypothesis," the duo wrote in the paper, which was published online Oct. 14 in the journal Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Aliens]

"The fact that they are only found in a very small fraction of stars within a narrow spectral range centered near the spectral type of the sun is also in agreement with the ETI hypothesis," the researchers added in the study. (Borra and Trottier looked at the spectra of 2.5 million stars studied by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which uses a telescope in New Mexico.)

But don't get too excited: Borra and Trottier said that additional observations are needed to confirm this hypothesis, and outside astronomers are even more emphatic on this point. Indeed, a healthy dose of skepticism is warranted, said Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute in Mountain View, California.

For example, it seems unlikely that 234 separate alien societies would be sending out such similar signals more or less simultaneously, Shostak said.

"It would be like expecting us to send the same signals as the Abyssinians — it doesn't make a whole lot of sense," he told Space.com. "If I were a betting guy, I'd bet this is an artifact of the way they processed their data."

Shostak also said that he knew of six different reviewers who had recommended against publishing the paper, at least without significant revision. However, he did stress that Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific is a reputable journal.

The astronomers behind Breakthrough Listen, a $100 million project that's scanning the heavens for SETI signals over the next 10 years, also urged skepticism.

"The international SETI community has established a 0-to-10 scale for quantifying detections of phenomena that may indicate the existence of advanced life beyond the Earth called the 'Rio Scale,'" team members of Breakthrough Listen, whose science program is headquartered at the Berkeley SETI Research Center (BSRC) at the University of California, Berkeley, said in a statement. "The BSRC team assesses the Borra-Trottier result to currently be a 0 or 1 (None/Insignificant) on this scale."

But skepticism is not the same thing as dismissal. Shostak thinks the stars singled out by Borra and Trottier are worthy of follow-up investigation, as does Breakthrough Listen. Indeed, the latter organization plans to study several of these stars using the 7.9-foot (2.4 meters) Automated Planet Finder optical telescope at Lick Observatory in California, team members said in the same statement.

The long history of SETI false alarms — including a detection that generated buzz this past August, but was soon traced to a Russian satellite — shouldn't deter scientists from checking out intriguing candidates, Shostak stressed.

"You can't get too cynical," he said. "You don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater."

HOUTHI REBELLEN SCHIETEN UFO UIT DE LUCHT ( VIDEO )

HOUTHI REBELLEN SCHIETEN UFO UIT DE LUCHT ( VIDEO )

Er doet een vreemd verhaal de ronde in Arabische landen dat Houthi rebellen in Jemen iets naar beneden hebben geschoten wat niet van deze wereld is.

Een 40-jarige man die zichzelf Khalid noemt, zegt dat hij nog nooit zoiets heeft gezien.

Zo staat er een verslag in de Amerikaanse Santa Monica Observer over wat getuigen uit die regio melden.

Op woensdag 19 oktober na het avondgebed was er een luid geluid te horen in de hemel, gevolgd door het zien van een immens groot licht dat zich bewoog vanuit het westen van de hoofdstaf Riyad naar het oosten.

Inwoners zeiden dat het onbekende vliegende voorwerp niet op een meteoor leek. Het had een blauwe en een groene kleur en er schoten groen-achtige flitsen vanaf het object. Een 40-jarige man die zichzelf Khalid noemt zegt dat hij nog nooit zoiets heeft gezien.

De UFO veranderde diverse keren van koers en verdween uiteindelijk in de richting van de Jemen woestijn. Daar werd door een Houthi rebel met een 9K32 Strela-2 raket (een raket die vanaf de schouder wordt afgevuurd) de UFO naar beneden gehaald. Volgens Houthi bronnen was er slechts één schot nodig om dit voor elkaar te krijgen.

De exacte locatie waar dit object zou zijn neergekomen werd klaarblijkelijk onmiddellijk bekendgemaakt en zou in de buurt van de plaats Al Mukalla liggen. Een stad die in een gebied ligt waar hevig wordt gevochten.

Volgens de Santa Monica Observer is het bericht verder niet in westerse media gepubliceerd, maar zijn er zelfs mensen in Koeweit die iets hebben gezien. Lokale bewoners zeggen dat ze een explosie hebben gehoord en dat ze een geweldige schok voelden toen het object de grond raakte.

Van officiële zijde, de overheid van Saoedi Arabië, is geen bevestiging gekomen, maar wel zouden ze het gebied hebben afgezet. Bij het artikel plaatsen ze dan een foto die zo goed als zeker nep is, want hij lijkt afkomstig uit een nepvideo die al sinds de zomer de ronde doet (zie onder).

xxx

Het verhaal op zich kan natuurlijk best waar zijn en misschien is een deel daarvan schromelijk overdreven, maar hebben ze inderdaad wel wat gezien.

Het zou heel goed kunnen zijn dat wat ze gezien hebben een meteoriet is geweest:

Want, twee dagen later zien namelijk de bewoners van het Russische Baikal Meer ook een groenachtig/blauw licht dat op aarde lijkt neer te storten.

xxx

Daar was zonder twijfel sprake van een meteoriet die de dampkring binnenkwam, vervolgens verbrandde en dan dat soort kleuren kan veroorzaken.

Dus, wie weet hebben de inwoners in de Arabische landen ook iets dergelijks gezien en de rest erbij verzonnen. Of het verhaal is wel waar, maar dan moet de Santa Monica Observer er geen nepfoto’s bij plaatsen, want dat doet het verhaal geen goed.

Voor de liefhebbers van leuke digitale technieken volgt hier de nepvideo van een gecrashte UFO in de woestijn, waar de afbeelding van de Santa Monica Observer uit gehaald lijkt te zijn.

UFO Seen Over Phoenix, Arizona Gets On Local TV News, Oct 2016, 2 Videos, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: Oct 28, 2016
Location of sighting: Phoenix, Arizona, USA
News source:

http://www.12news.com/news/local/valley/experts-say-ufo-over-phoenix-may-be-aliens/342354906

These UFOs are controlled by the Tall Whites...an alien species given an allotment of land for an underground base behind the old shooting range of Nellis AFB. What we are seeing, is several Tall White UFOs going out to meet another incoming UFO and safely escort it 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. Tall Whites are overly protective of their youth, which are probably on the ship that was coming in. How protective, take a Klingon from Star Trek and amplify its anger by 5X and you got a protective parent Tall White Alien, 3 meters tall. Tall Whites are about 2 meters tall until age 400 years, which is the moment they are considered an adult. Also for its reaction speed is 3X the speed of a human. Info from Charles Hall, employed to work with the Tall Whites for 2 years.

News states:
After a night like Tuesday night, a lot more people will be keeping their eye to the sky.

The internet exploded with pictures, videos and claims of a UFO sighting over the East Valley.

So what was it? A comet? Space junk? Airplanes? Give us your thoughts on our UFO poll.

"With the air traffic patterns in the Valley, what we see are a lot of stacked aircraft that are coming into Sky Harbor," said Dr. Sky, a TV personality and radio host of a talk show that's syndicated across the country and in Canada.

The topic of discussion on his show -- outer space and the universe.

"[Airplanes are] a possibility," he said, adding it doesn't look quite right.

"I'm 41 years old. I've seen a lot of things in the sky," said Christinna Herrmann. "This is nothing I've seen before."

So, was it a UFO?

"Anything that you, or people, saw that we call a UFO is simply accurate," said Dr. Sky, solely because we were not able to identify it.

So, was it aliens?

"Firmly I believe that we already know about alien visitation," Dr. Sky said, citing the Roswell incident from the 1940s. "We're going to continue to search for what [everyone] saw in the skies of Arizona."

Ancients Saw and Painted UFOs

lascaux-cave-franceufos

Lascaux Cave, France Hall of the Bulls with UFOs

Prehistoric cavemen frequently drew what appear to be UFOs in their cave art above the exact replicas of Bison, and deer. Aimé Michel did a study of cave art and reports at Las Chimeneas (Santander, Spain) is a cigar-cloud and its attendant discs. At Altimira, Niaux, and La Cullalvera caves discs are shown in flight.

Dr. Michael Rappenglueck of the University of Munich told BBC News Online that he has found star maps within the cave paintings of France and Spain. The objects discovered at Lascaux in central France, “painted over the shoulder of a bull show three bright stars known as the Summer Triangle representing the three present stars Vega, Deneb and Altair. These images form a map of the sky with the eyes of the bull, a bird-man and a bird on a stick.” Today this region of the sky forms part of the constellation of Taurus the bull, showing that identification of this part of the sky stretches back seventeen thousand years.” Another cluster of stars known as the Pleiades, or seven sisters has been identified in a cave in Spain.” ‘It is a map of the prehistoric cosmos indicating our ancestors knew the Zodiac 17,000 years ago, and were more sophisticated than many believe.” Dr. Rappenglueck. ‘It was their sky, full of animals and spirit guides.'”

Note: possible UFOs above the Bulls.

Ancient man and women had never been exposed to oral stories or paintings of spaceships or aliens so they had no preconceived stories from writers of science fiction. When creating paintings or pictures of activities on cave walls they were recording. The similarities to today’s UFO reports are not coincidental. Ancient cave dwellers witnessed the same type of craft as we witness today.

alien-cavepech-merlefrance

These images are from the cave of“Pech Merle” near “Le Cabrerets, France,” and were painted .17,000 – 15,000 BC. The scene depicts a landscape full of wildlife such as bison, and horses together with a number of saucer shaped objects. The objects seem totally out of context. The drawing suggests aliens have been visiting Earth for thousands of years or they have the ability to time travel. www.12vn.net/2012/05/ancient-cave-art-

Dropa Stones

Himalayan mountains — Chi Pu Tei, a professor of archaeology at Beijing University, was leading some of his students on an expedition to survey a series of interlinking caves in the Baian- Kara-Ula Mountains on the border that divides China and Tibet in 1938. They discovered artificially carved caves that included a complex system of tunnels and underground storerooms some caves that had been occupied by a primitive people long ago. The walls were squared and glazed, as if cut into the mountain with a source of extreme heat.

droppastones

Inside the caves were several ancient, but neatly arranged burial sites, and in them the skeletal remains of a strange people. The skeletons, measuring a little more than four feet tall, were frail and spindly with large skulls. On the walls were carved pictograms of the heavens: the sun, the moon, the stars, and the Earth with lines of dots connecting them. Half-buried in the dirt floor of the cave was an odd stone disk, obviously fashioned by the hand of an intelligent creature. The disk was nine inches in diameter and three-quarters of an inch thick. In the exact center was a perfectly round, 3/4″ hole, and etched in its face was a fine groove spiraling out from the center to the rim, like a primitive DVD. These Dropa Stones are dated to be about 12,000 years old and 716 such plates were found. In the groove in the stones was a continuous line of strange carved unknown hieroglyphics – writing!

In 1962, Dr. Tsum Um Nui was able to decode the message of the stone plates – a message so incredible and earth-shattering that the Prehistory Department of the Beijing Academy prohibited its translation to be published. He discerned that the messages on the stones were written by a people who called themselves the Dropa, almost 12,000 ago and presented it to the University for Publication.

escieza9apr16

Two years later, Dr. Tsum Um Nui’s findings were released in a paper entitled, “The Grooved Script Concerning Spaceships on the Discs, Landed on Earth 12,000 Years Ago.” The disks tell the story of a spacecraft crewed by dwarfish beings, who told him that their ancestors had come from a planet of Sirius, that crash-landed in the Himalayas and its occupants called Dropas found refuge in the caves.

“The Dropa were unable to repair their disabled spacecraft and could not return to their home planet, and so were stranded on Earth. Despite their peaceful intentions, the Dropas were misunderstood by members of the Ham tribe who were occupying neighboring caves and who hunted down the aliens and even killed some.

dropatoday

Today, the isolated area is inhabited by two tribes of people who, in fact, call themselves the Dropa (shown) and the Han. Anthropologists have been unable to categorize either tribe into any other known race; they are neither Chinese nor Tibetan. Both tribes are of pygmy stature, adults measuring between 3-foot-6 and 4-foot-7 with an average height of 4-foot-2, and body weights of 38 to 52 pounds. They are yellow-skinned with thin bodies and disproportionately large heads, corresponding to the skeletal remains found in the caves in 1938. They have sparse hair on their bodies and have large eyes that are not Asian in aspect, but have pale blue irises.

In 1968, the Dropa stones came to the attention of W. Saitsew, a Russian scientist who conducted tests on the disks that revealed the granite stones contained high concentrations of cobalt and other metals -that would have made it difficult for the primitive people to carve the lettering, especially with such minute characters. When testing a disk, a surprising oscillation rhythm was recorded as if, they had once been electrically charged. Thanks to http://paranormal.about.com/od/ancientanomalies/a/aa060198.htm

Drawings of UFO Found in Pyramid!

Spaceship appeared over Egypt 3,000 years ago!

egyptiandisc

PARIS — A scientist claims to have found a drawing of a flying saucer on the wall of an Egyptian tomb! “This is it — this is the evidence we’ve been looking for,” Dr. Isadora Demazure told reporters in Paris. “Space aliens really did contact the ancient Egyptians.”This drawing proves it — once and for all.”

The expert refused to say exactly where the drawing is located, other than to say she found it in a 3,000-year-old tomb on the banks of the Nile. She acknowledged that some of her colleagues would like to inspect the tomb before declaring the drawing authentic.

But she insists that it is genuine — and claims her still photographs and videotapes prove it.

“The spaceship appears to be of classic UFO design,” Dr. Demazure said. “It rather looks like an upside-down dinner plate with a lip or a rib running around its lower edge.

“There is a cockpit or observation deck on top, covered with a clear dome. There is also a lighted dome underneath, but there are no visible life-forms.

“I have no doubt that this is a spaceship,” she added. “There is nothing else it could be.”

Fragments of an unusually strong and lightweight metal found in the tomb have so far defied analysis, said the expert.

“But there is a very real possibility that they are extraterrestrial in origin,” she continued. “They certainly aren’t familiar to us.”They are nothing like we have ever seen before.”

The expert is currently negotiating with a major European publisher who wants rights to the photos and videotape she shot inside the tomb and she’ll get at least $75,000 for the photo package, maybe more.

Queried by journalists, Egyptologist Andre Lafont called Dr. Demazure’s discovery “interesting, but anticlimactic.”

“UFO researchers and Egyptologists already know that extraterrestrials were in contact with the ancient Egyptians,” he said.”Space aliens gave them many aspects of their culture. They helped them build the pyramids.”

Dead Sea Scrolls Speak of Ancient Astronauts

deadsea

Their visits have often been interpreted in religious terms, but the data is essentially truthful and often the best we have. Biologists search for protoplasm in ancient primordial soup. Archaeologists seek man’s origin in the mud. I search with shining eyes for our home in the stars.The Dead Sea Scrolls found in a cave near Jerusalem revealed the Earth was visited with extra-terrestrial visitors. Most religions of the world agree in the concept of Sons of Light and Sons of Darkness, good angels and evil ones, good aliens and bad. My research has indicated there are various groups of aliens with different intentions, their motivations may be very different and they often appear to be fighting one another. “The Zadokite Document,” discovered fifty years ago in an old synagogue in Cairo, confirms Genesis and mentions the landing of Spacemen, their giant offspring and immorality. “Because they walked in the stubbornness of their hearts, the Watchers of heaven fell, yea, they were caught thereby because they kept not the Commandments of God. So too their Sons whose height was like the lofty cedars and whose bodies were as mountains. They also fell.” The Scriptures of the Dead Sea Sect by Theodore H. Gaster.

Ancient Civilizations such as Dogon Possessed Exceptional Knowledge

dogannommos

In recent years an increasing number of researchers in astronomy have come to the conclusion that most of the ancient civilizations possessed an exceptional astronomical knowledge. Advanced cultures across the globe determine the length of the solar year and developed reliable calendar systems, and were aware of the ‘Precession of the Equinox’.

While many of the famous archeological sites offer us solid evidence that ancient temple, pyramids and other buildings were designed and oriented towards the rising and culmination of certain constellations or specific stars like Sirius. Many cultures had a fascination with the stars and their cyclical motion. References to Sirius can be found in early Egyptian, Greek, Ancient Sumerian, Babylonian, Indian, Chinese, and Mesoamerican records tell of visitors to Earth from other planets.

French Professor Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen starting in 1931 undertook an extensive field study of the Dogon tribe in West Africa. Dogon elders revealed secrets of their religion and extraordinary knowledge of the universe.

Later Robert Temple wrote the book “The Sirius Mystery” that truly popularized the knowledge of the Dogon tribe of Mali, Africa. A fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, Temple earned a degree in Oriental studies and Sanskrit at the University of Pennsylvania. Temple claims civilization on earth resulted from contact with inhabitants of a planet in the Sirius star system prior to 3,000 B.C. Sumerians and several African tribes claim they were visited by extraterrestrials that came from a watery planet.

dogonship

They were given great knowledge by visitors from a planet within Orion’s Belt near Sirius. The tribal cultures and most sacred traditions are based on special knowledge of the Sirius system is astounding in its accuracy and detail, including information only recently known to modern science. The Dogon legends about two companion to Sirius are claimed to originate before any terrestrial astronomer could have known of the existence of Sirius B, let alone its 50-year orbit or its nature as a tiny, condensed white dwarf star, all of which the Dogon allegedly knew.

The Dogon referred to a small and super-dense companion of Sirius, made of matter heavier than anything on Earth, and moving in a 50-year elliptical orbit around its parent star and a third outer orbiting star. The white dwarf companion of Sirius which answers to this description was not seen until 1862, when the American optician Alvan Graham Clark spotted it while testing a new telescope; the super dense nature of white dwarfs was not realized until the 1920s. A Dogon legend, similar to many other tales by primitive people of visits from the sky, speaks of an “ark” descending to the ground bringing an amphibious group of beings, known as the Nommo. “Nommo is the collective name for the great culture-hero and founder of civilization who came from the Sirius system to set up society on the Earth,” The Sumerians also claim they were visited by similar being called Oannes who brought writing, organization and education.

The Dogon’s legends explain the structure of the universe and the origin of life. It appears that long before empirical science established their facts, the Dogon already knew that “the sun turns on its own axis, as if propelled by a huge spiral spring. The Earth turns on its axis, around its center, and makes a great circle like a top its spinning and has long known that planets orbit the sun. The moon turns like a conical spiral around the Earth.”

sirisstars

The Dogon’s go as far as describing a third star in the Sirius system, called “Emme Ya” that, to date, has not been identified by astronomers. In addition to their knowledge of Sirius B, the Dogon mythology includes Saturn’s rings and Jupiter’s four major moons. They have four calendars, for the Sun, Moon, Sirius, and Venus,

The Dogon elders not only possess an accurate astronomical understanding of our solar system, but they also have an astonishing clear perception of mankind’s place in the universe, which centers around the invisible stars of the Sirius system.

The Dogon believe Amma is the supreme God, the creator of the universe. Amma means: to hold tight, embrace strongly and keep in the same place”. The Nommo Monitors are the “ancestors” of men, to whom Amma entrusted a part of the management of the universe. Genesis in the Bible tells a similar account of the Nephilim, “Those Who Have Come Down, from the Heaven to Earth.” The Dogon describe an arc landing and displacing a pile of dust raised by a whirlwind presumably a spaceship. The impact roughened the ground and the flame went out when it touched the earth. The ark moved to a hollow that was filled with water, whereupon the aliens emerged.

According to Berossus, a Babylonian historian the whole body of the alien was like a fish; and had under fish’s head another head, and also feet below, similar to a man, subjoined to the fish’s tail. His voice was articulate and provided advanced technology to the Babylonians, how to build cities and temples, develop laws and taught mathematics to create civilization. They also appear in Egyptian, Accadian, and Sumerian myths. The Egyptian Goddess Isis, who is sometimes depicted as a mermaid, is also linked with the star Sirius.

He was similar to the stories of mermen and mermaids. He jumped into the water at sunset. The Sirius Mystery is a pervasive argument for the ancient alien’s theory.

American Indians

These ufo petroglyphs were created thousands of years ago by ancient Indians in the American Southwest. According to Indian folklore, two objects collided high in the sky and one crash-landed in the region of Death Valley.

ome men arrived (presumably in another ship) and spent some time repairing the damaged craft and were observed by the local Indians. The two images below may possibly depict the ship (left) used by the men who came to repair the damaged craft. In comparing the two images, the one on the right seems to depict structural damage around the edges and the bottom. Could it be the one that allegedly crashed? The images are stills taken from an old TV series entitled “In search of…” hosted by Leonard Nimoy.

Ghostly Dirigible Light in the 1909 Skies

Wilmington, Delaware MORNING NEWS – 2 August 1909

dirgible

MIDDLETOWN, NY August 1, 1909. — A mysterious airship which flies only at night is causing considerable excitement and keeping the people of Orange county residing between Goshen and Newburg up nights in their efforts to get a look at it. For the past month persons who have been out late at night have reported seeing an airship.

For a week or more the flying machine had not been seen, but at 11 o’clock last night it made its appearance near Goshen. It was flying high in the air and carried a light which attracted attention.

It flew very fast and was last seen traveling in the direction of Newburg. Those who have seen the machine say it is shaped like a balloon and has wings on each side and a cigar-shaped car underneath. The sound of a motor was distinctly heard by those who saw the machine. (Thanks to Carl Feindt)

“People of Earth” TV Coming

Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) will soon be gracing your cable menu with a new sitcom about “alien abduction.”

peopleofearth

People of Earth will premier on TBS October 31 and on TBS.com October 24. The good news for those who are dealing with ET contact in their own lives? You will have the opportunity to laugh at your circumstance if that will help. The bad news? Everyone else will have the opportunity to laugh at your circumstance. The show will apparently be a comedy with some truth.

Your Government’s policy of ridicule, denial and deception created a truth vacuum TBS could not resist filling. One might not know whether to laugh or cry, but then that also applies to the ongoing process to elect a president. The truth embargo is no longer wise policy in service to a cold war. It is a toxic poison making fools of us all. Enjoy if you can.

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Orbs

aztuson2009

Tucson — I have filmed Orbs since August 2008 through 2009 near Tucson Arizona.

I have 25,000 pictures and over 100 hours of video have been recorded.

I posted the video Tucson Orbs on You Tube, please search on that for a 67 minute video documenting my experiences.

Many Orbs are flying and landing near-by my property and following my camera. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Object

San Francisco — It was about 9 pm and we were taking pictures of the full moon on August 18, 2016.

We looked at the pictures later and noticed this strange shape that moved from picture 1 to the last picture.

It was very bright and seems to be changing directions.

We were thinking it could be lantern paper but the shape is very odd (check pictures). Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Lights

Saint Petersburg — This is my neighbor’s sighting on October 22, 2016, and she wants to remain anonymous. She was sitting outside and noticed many whitish objects in the sky over the west end of our street. She took a photo and watched them for a minute or so. They seemed to be moving all together, and then suddenly they vanished. I did not witness the event, but they all disappeared at the same time. I was a field investigator for many years ago after passing the test, but then I took a high-profile position and didn’t pursue investigations. My neighbor was questioning whether she was really seeing what she saw. She’s still shaken. I would take her as a reliable witness. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Hawaii Disc

Waikane — I was taking pictures at Kaneoha Bay at lunch time of the mountains on October 23, 2016. I hold down the button of my camera then it continuously snaps photos with less than a second in between shots. I took multiple pictures of the mountains. When I looked back at my pictures one was not like the others. At first, I thought a wood chip was on my lens but I looked closer and I realized I had spotted a UFO! Now, I don’t really believe in stereotypical UFOs, but this bothered me out so much that I’m reporting it! The unidentified object I saw was a disk, football shape and it was yellow/orange with a dome on the top. As soon as I saw the picture and realized it wasn’t a football I got a very eerie feeling. It seems to be hovering over the mountain. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Green Orb

ilwheeling-22oct16

Wheeling — I hiked on a trail near our home with my husband in late afternoon on October 22, 2016. I took some pictures while hiking.

Later on, while reviewing the pictures I took, we found there are some weird green lights in the middle of two pictures.

Not sure if this related to any anomalies thing.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maine Disc

Turner — Took three photos of object on September 30, 2016, with gps on. This is the best photo of distant object.

Also I turned on video cam on moving try pod then craft went by real fast video pick up sound. The original video cigar shape craft up close. Craft comes in to view at around the 42 second mark. It goes by so fast there are only 5 frames with some sound suggesting close proximity. The overall velocity is greater than the shutter speed used in the capture. Its moving faster than the shutter speed used and there are no mechanical sounds, just the sound of an object passing through the air within vicinity of the microphone. It’s not at cloud level because they’re not disrupted. Jose Escamilla, taken general Turner Center Hill Rd. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Object

Fall River — I was outside taking pictures of the night sky on October 27, 2016, because it was beautiful.

The photos I took I saw a strange object in the sky on the photo and checked my camera to make sure there wasn’t anything on my lens and there was not. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Light

Kansas City — My wife and I go to this park all the time just to relax on October10, 2016. We watch the night sky from this park. We saw a large bright light just sitting there in the sky so bright it lit up the landscape for miles. This park is on 23rd and Topping and you can see all the way to the sports complex. The light was so bright it lit up the park from Raytown. We sit there and watch it for 5 minutes before I got my cell phone but the bright light went out but was still lit up enough to see. I have posted 4 videos on You Tube which you can look up under Willis Clark’s UFO VIDEO FILES. One where you can actually see one take off from the ground and on the same video. One flew right over us and we thought that one was an airplane because it made noise like a jet or something until it flew off in the distance and posted up in the sky and sit perfectly still. And that night there was a fleet of these craft all over different parts of the Kansas City sky. These were not airplanes or choppers. We were close enough to see very clearly size and shape of this craft and it look like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It accelerated super fast ahead of us at a tremendous speed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Orb

Lebanon — On October 14, 2016, several photos were taken of an orb with several bright lights. The orb was in a cloud and appeared to be surrounded by a green elliptical halo. The photos were taken in the direction of the sun, but the orb appears to be a real object and not a lens flare or reflection. The reason for this is that one of the photos shows the object partially hidden by the cloud. A reflection would not appear that way. It is not known if the orb was seen or later discovered in the photo. This question has been posed to the witness.

Witness Response to Questions: I thought I saw something reflected for a second. It wasn’t until I looked at the pictures when I got home that I saw the object. I have taken a lot of pictures of clouds for years and have never come across anything like this.

Note: This object could very well be real because one of the photos (enlargement) shows that the object is partially hidden by the clouds and also bright spots show up on the object. A lens flare would not look like this. Also the object appears to be too far away from the sun to be a lens flare or reflection. The enlarged photo above shows a green elliptical shaped halo surrounds the object. The witness also said that he used a Samsung Galaxy 6 cell phone to take the photos. (See comments below regarding photos taken with Samsung phones.) Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Washington Lights

Olympia – Note: The report below was extracted from the website www.ufoholic.com. The witness sent the link to his report posted on the “ufoholic” website.

An Orb UFO opened a portal and then materialized a shape-shifting entity. A man from Olympia became the observer of a unique episode that will undoubtedly remain with him for the rest of his life. Right above his home was a bright portal through which a shape-shifting entity manifested itself into our world. The objects were visible for a long period of time and the witness was able to capture both photographic and video evidence.

On the night of May 26th, at 10:59 PM the witness was sitting on the back porch of his house looked up at a luminous object spinning across the horizon. At first it looked like a star moving—at high speeds. With 24% battery on his phone, the witness started to document the incident.

“It displayed so many colors I immediately knew it wasn’t a plane. In my robe and barefooted I walked into the grassy field beside my backyard and started shooting video,” D.M. told UFOholic.

Overwhelmed by what he saw, the witness continued to track the unidentified flying object as it maneuvered across the night sky until it stopped moving and began pulsing. It took the shape of what the witness described as a “ring of fire” and after a few moments a second entity separated from the pulsating object. Right away, this second UFO began spinning like a top and exhibiting a strange, intelligent behavior.

“It was displaying images or manifesting something. It became every shape I’ve ever seen.”

The two UFOs were about 1,000 feet away from the witness who estimated the size of the portal-UFO was huge, approximately 100 feet in diameter. The other craft was smaller about 40 feet but what it lacked in size, it made up for in behavior. Both objects were completely silent, as evidenced in the video. The shape-shifting abilities of this craft or entity far surpass any known camouflage technology and this alone seems to suggest their origin is not from earth. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Glacier — I was with my uncle on September 23, 2016, exploring up on an old coal mining road. Having never been up there before, I took my cell phone with me and was snapping photos of the scenery around me. I was taking pictures of what I believe is Skyline Ridge, and I took several photos in a row.

Only one contained what I believe is to be a space ship of some sort over the mountain to the right. I did not see this ship with the naked eye–my camera caught the only image of it. Here are the photos taken by them on September 23, 2016. Thanks to Frank Chille

West Virginia Cloud

wvi-footsprings25oct16

Fortsprings — I was driving home. And looked up and seen this floating purple light on October 25, 2016. It didn’t move from where it was at. It just floated. I didn’t know if it was something for Halloween or what. As I turned the curve i could see it better. The light just floated above the trees. I don’t know what it would have been. Not saying it was a UFO. I would just like to know what it could have been.

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Cylinder

Sanctuary Point – On October 11, 2016, I was working in the yard, when I became aware of an object in the sky which was at great height, it was also star bright against the blue of a perfectly clear midday. It was floating with airy swoops, it was cylindrical. It then started to move west against the wind traveling end over end. I became aware that all of the birds (lorrikeets, wattlebirds, mudlarks etc) fell silent; just as they do in the presence of a predator; they had been raucous until a few moments before I sighted the cylinder. Twice it seemed to react to my thoughts. The first time I thought “Come this way you bugger, so that I can get a better look at you!” and to my surprise, it changed its direction from heading west and then raced toward me in the north east, again traveling end over end (almost like a boomerang) and then when it was directly overhead, I thought “Stop…so that I can see you better.” and to my surprise, it did. Still it was very high and it appeared to be being mobbed by white birds, small white dots were swooping in toward and then away from it. It remained stationary overhead. Then it tumbled away leaf like toward the eastern horizon. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Brisbane — UFO Sighting of pill shaped red and white cylindrical object on October 16, 2016. It was recorded on unmanned time-lapse video and later discovered upon viewing of the digital images (12 sequential frames from 559 600 shots). Initially I assumed this to be an aircraft. Several lights appear during the time-lapse (total play time of 11 seconds).

NOTE: As has been the case previously when I recorded such footage – the camera (Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 bridge camera with Leica zoom lens) which was set to manual focus, mysteriously lost focus near the end of the recording. This object was descending on a steady flight path angle from left to right, as would an aircraft. My question over this being merely a commercial aircraft, is that it doesn’t appear to be a case of motion blur; rather an evenly halved red and white body. Also; if it was an aircraft heading from my left to my right towards Brisbane International airport, I would normally see from a conventional aircraft of wing-tip lights. I see it as a well lit, thick cylinder without cabin lights. There would be no red color on the full side of same to leave this image as an equally distributed red and white object, and certainly would not start and end as a rounded curved shape as it does.

I was a professional photographer for over 30 years and this not my first sighting. f/3.9, ISO-3200, Focal length 40mm
Metering mode: Pattern Thanks to MUFON CMS

Brazil Cylinder

I was in my residence watching the lunar eclipse. I decided to take some pictures on September 29, 2015, because my son is interested in the subject and he slept because of the schedule. The objects were not visible to the naked eye on, and I fixed the camera on a tripod not to move the camera. Only the next day I went to see the pictures on the computer, when I found strange white spots around and near the moon. I follow and am interested in UFO phenomena, but thought well before sending the photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Orb

Kanata – On October 10, 2016, I did not see the object in question it was only after I looked at my camera screen and saw the blur. I opened up the picture on my desktop to see what the blur was. There was nothing in the area around me (birds or any other airborne object) that could have made this. From the picture I can’t tell if it was nearby or far-away, or some other aberration that I’m not aware of. I thought I’d file/post this as maybe someone else may know what it is (it was taken with a high-end camera, and I took about another 30 or so shots of the exact same area over the next 5 minutes and did not ever see anything else like that on camera).

I did take pictures of the same area over the next few days (attached photos) and did catch some odd things in the same area (none that I saw with my eyes, only on camera). The 3rd photo was of an airplane at night (center frame) and I’m sure some of the dots are stars…but not sure what the other streaky light is.

Chile Disc

chiledisc20oct16

Santiago — The pictures were taken at 18:00 Chilean hour yesterday October 20, 2016, at Santiago City of Chile, at downtown Santiago Av Alameda.!

The UFO´S were detected after the review of the pictures and it was no intention the picture them on first instance.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Croatia Triangle

Between Poreč and Novigrad – End of July 18th and 29th, 2011, between 9 and 11 PM. I was just watching sunset but I sat on the beach for a long time. It was too late, the sky was dark when I looked a little bit more left and “that thing” was there. I wasn´t able to think about what was that. Triangular shape, three lighting points (yellow), weird moves from 9 – 11 p. m.
I sat on the beach and for 15 or 20 minutes stared at that “thing” over the sea. Few minutes it was just “hanging´” on one place, then it started to move really weird way (and the speed of those moves was unbelievable), but still was the triangular shape.
I don´t remember how it disappeared, I was like hypnotized… I looked around to see, if there´s anyone who see the same “thing” and when I looked back, “that thing” wasn´t there. There were many people on the beach, I´m sure, someone saw the same. I´m sorry I have no photos – like I said, I was like hypnotized and wasn´t think. Thanks to MUFON CMS

France Orb

frnugent23oct16

Nugent — I write you because on October 23, 2016, I witnessed a strange phenomenon. It was around 2:00 am and we are four people to have seen that. I was with a friend and her parents. We saw two bright balls which followed each other, that quickly moved forward before disappearing in the sky. Then 8-10 seconds after another one appeared, according to the same way. Then 15 seconds later another one arrived, it was different. He looked like a transparent bubble. The night was clear, there were no clouds. Four UFO followed the same trajectory and disappeared in the sky. They were fast and there was no noise of engine. Or was very strange and it doesn’t look like a planes or others. Please find the attached pictures. Sorry for the bad quality. Hope you can do something with that. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UFO Sighting India

Siolim Goa — I and My Best Friend Askhay Kauthankar aka “Hunter” were at my relatives place in Siolim Bardez Goa India. At around 9.p.m.to 10.p.m on October 22, 2016, Hunter spotted 6 or 7 red UFO lights in the sky.

They were travelling at normal speed that looked like a fleet of glowing red round lights in the sky travelling in a straight line direction.

We could not believe it was our 3rd UFO Sighting this year. This was once again a very cool UFO Sighting. Thanks to Mandar Naik

Portugal Triangle

Lisbon — With a beautiful sunset I tested my HTC one m8 to compare with the Olympus sz31 mr (the clock of this one wasn’t right). I took photos changing cameras about in 5”, and went to the pc and noticed the screen was dirty. But not. I was wrong. It was not dirt, and when I zoom in on photos, I noticed photographed a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit … or a UFO?
So I send the photos to your analysis because you are the experts on these subjects and because I’m curious. I do not think a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit fly the skies of Portugal…but it’s not impossible!
Note: Craft is not a B-2.

Spain Red Globe

Malaga — Lying over Southern Spain my wife and I saw a huge red globe 35,000 feet in the sky on July 29, 2016. The globe was approx half a mile wide and I presume the pilot saw it and banked violently to the left until we were away from it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Flying Object

East Putney — I was walking down Oakhill Road SW18 on my way home from work when I noticed an unusual shaped object in the distance moving toward my general direction. There were a few low altitude planes in the sky during the observation on their usual predictable flight path into Heathrow. The object was high in the sky. It must have been quite large but smaller than the size of a 747, perhaps 7-12 meters wide. The sky was crisp and clear and the object was reflecting sunlight off a metallic object, but not heavy looking. The central top area was illuminated by itself or reflecting the most light. When I first saw it in the distance the entire craft was reflecting sunlight, brightly. When it was to my left it was the central area that was illuminated.

I watched for a minute and noticed it had no wings and no port/starboard lights and moved without making a noise as it was getting closer but still quite high. I took out my iPhone 4 and took some pictures as it moved over to my left. I even tried to zoom in but didn’t get a decent shot, only about 5 shots on the standard setting making it appear quite small in the frame, yet for me identifiable. The disc moved at an even pace quite slowly all through its trajectory. It appeared too slow for a fixed wing craft to sustain lift. It was not a helicopter, there was no noise at all, perfectly silent all the time with no flashing lights. I have seen orbs before and this was the first time I had seen a large domed disc, so I was happy to see it. The object moved out of sight over the trees. Note: Similar object that was photographed over France is shown. Thanks to MUFON CMS

The Search For The Truth About UFOs Continues

BY EYE OPENER

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

Do you believe there is life out there in space? Sightings of UFOs happen all the time, but getting the government to admit the truth about what’s up there in the skies is easier said than done.

Three UFO Cases That Will Blow Your Mind

BY ANDY NGUYEN,

Do you love a good conspiracy theory about the possibility of extraterrestrial life? Or do you already believe deep down that aliens are here living among us?

Robert Powell, Director of Research from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), shared with Eye Opener some of his case studies from the last few years.

1. Ontario, Canada - August 28, 2013
While on a hunting trip in a remote wilderness area of southern Ontario, Canada, three hunters observed for about five minutes a large barbell shaped craft that came within a distance of 400 feet of their location. The craft had no seams and had two disk shaped ends that had a large bar-like connection between them.

There was an indigo plasma that covered most of the craft. The craft rotated slowly around its center while emitting an electrical spark like shower. There was electrical interference with the operation of the witness's cell phone, video camera, and a field radio. The primary witness used his 9x gun scope to observe the craft.

He is a research scientist and his company has contracts with the Department of Defense. All witnesses want their identity protected.

2. Montgomery, NY - August 15, 2015
Two adults and two teenagers were observing heat lightning from their back porch. The 17-year-old decided to go through the woods into a pasture in order to get a better look at the lightning. He saw a disk shaped object in the pasture that made an indentation in the tall grass with a light beam. The grass had been compressed and Geiger counter readings of the affected area indicated radiation levels that were six times higher than the background radiation levels. Background radiation levels were .12 micro-seiverts while the affected areas read .78 micro-seiverts.

3. Aguadilla, Puerto Rico - April 25, 2013
On April 25, 2013, at about 9:20 pm local time, an unknown object at low altitude flew directly across the Rafael Hernandez airport runway at Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, causing a delayed departure of a commercial aircraft. There was no squawking transponder signal to alert the aircraft tower, nor was there any communication with the tower to prevent a dangerous situation with departing and arriving aircraft. Fortunately an airborne U.S. Customs and Border Protection aircraft captured the object on infrared video. This report is an analytical evaluation of that video as well as witness statements and radar data of the area.

Unknown targets are picked up on radar northwest of the airport just prior to contact with the US Customs aircraft, which visually identifies an object coming in over the ocean to the northwest of the airport. The object in the video moves at speeds of 80 to 100 mph at altitudes of only 30 to 40 feet without lights and through a residential area as well as crisscrossing the airport. The object returns to the ocean where it dives into the water with minimal splashing; moves through the water at speeds of 80 mph; leaves the water and then splits into two equal halves that are the same size as the original. Both of these halves eventually dive back into the water and do not return, at which point the video ends.

CAUGHT! NASA FILMS SPEEDING UNKNOWN CRAFT ON LIVE STREAM!

We live in a world covered on a massive web of conspiracy regarding something called "the UFO phenomenon". There have been records since very ancient times of strange shaped objects usually coming from the sky. We can see it in paintings, murals, ancient cave drawings, etc.

RECENT FOOTAGE SHOWS A STRANGE FAST MOVING CRAFT WITHOUT NASA INTERVENING

There's no denying that something is definitely going on out there, and some big powerful people are trying to cover it up for reasons unknown. People have learned to accept that we are not alone in the universe, something big as alien visitations being announced in full scale would fascinate the mass, unless it was an iminent alien invasion which could cause uncontrollable panic.

We also know that recently NASA has been taking shutting down live streams in specific points, seconds after mysterious objects appear on screen.

But recent footage shows a strange fast moving craft without NASA intervening. People are scratching their heads to what's going on!

Disc UFO photographed over Hawaiian mountain

A Hawaiian witness at Waikane reported photographing a hovering, disc-shaped UFO near Kaneoha Bay, according to testimony in Case 79999 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

Witness image.

The witness was taking photos near lunch time on October 23, 2016, using the “multiple photos” camera setting. The witness did not see the object while taking photos and only noticed it when reviewing images later.

“I noticed one of them was not like the others,” the witness stated.“At first I thought a wood chip was on my lens, but I looked closer and I realized I had spotted a UFO. Now, I don’t really believe in stereotypical UFOs, but this creeped me out so much that I’m reporting it just in case it really is one. The unidentified object I saw was a disk, football shape and it was yellow/orange. When I zoom up on my camera, there seems to be a dome on the top as well.”

Cropped and enlarged version of the witness image.

Hawaii MUFON State Director David McManus is investigating. Please be cautious of UFO photography and video, especially when the witness did not see the actual object. There are many camera-lens anomalies that must be ruled out during the investigation before a determination is made.

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.

UFO Seen Above Phoenix May Be Alien

ufo-phoenix

A lot more people are now looking up in the sky after a strange night like Tuesday evening. The online world exploded with claims, pictures, and videos of a UFO sighting in the dark sky above East Valley.

Some suggest it is a comet; others say it is a space junk, or perhaps an airplane.

Dr. Sky, a television personality, and radio talk show host that’s syndicated across the U.S. and Canada, said that they saw a lot of stacked aircraft from Sky Harbor with the air traffic patterns in the Valley.

His show talks about the universe and the outer space.

Though he could not rule out airplanes, he said it did not look quite right.

Another witness, Christinna Herrmann, 41, said she had seen a lot of things in the sky at her age, but the UFO on Tuesday night is nothing she has seen in her life.

So, was the aerial thing a UFO?

According to Dr. Sky, anything people see that is considered as a UFO is simply accurate because they can’t identify it.

So, was the spectacle in the sky on Tuesday night alien?

Dr. Sky said that most people know about alien visitation, pointing out the Roswell incident that took place in the 1940s. He added that people are going to continue to get the bottom of what everyone saw in the Arizona skies.

UFO Crashes In Saudi Arabia After Being Hit With Surface To Air Missile

saudi-arabia-ufo

A tremendous noise was heard in the sky on October 19, Wednesday, after evening prayers in Saudi Arabia. Then the sighting of an intense, large light followed. It was heading from the west over a region located in the east of Riyadh.

Residents did not think it was a meteor because it didn’t look like it. They said that it was a blue, green shooting out green flashes. A 40-year-old witness, who introduced himself as Khalid, stated that they were baffled as no one has ever seen anything like it.

Before going south toward the Yemeni desert, the UFO changed course multiple times. A rebel shot the UFO using a low altitude surface to air missile system with a passive infrared homing guidance and high explosive warhead. In contrast to the general idea of UFOs, which typically so advanced that any sophisticated weapons on Earth would find a hard time to take them down, this particular UFO was taken down with just a single shot.

The location of the crash site was immediately determined. A Saudi helicopter revealed an aerial photograph along with the story and embedded location. The location is a dessert located about 220 miles north and slightly east of Al Mukalla. However, it is not determined on what happen to the alien in the photo.

No report about the incident in the west, but it was witnessed as far as Kuwait. Residents in the region where the object was reportedly heading claimed they heard an explosion and felt a tremor as if something had crashed.

The Saudi government has allegedly sealed the area, which borders Yemen, but has not released information regarding the alleged crash site. Houthi rebels have been in rebellion against the Yemen government that started in 2015. Rebel sources claimed one of their men fired at the UFO using a shoulder type 9K-32 Strelka and brought down the unknown aerial thing.

Triangle UFO Caught On Video At Marysville in Washington

triangle-ufo

A hovering triangle UFO with three lights was sighted at Marysville in Washington. According to the report of the witness, he was sitting in their backyard along with his wife at 3:45 p.m. on September 10, 2016, when the strange sighting happened.

The reporting witness just happened to look up the clear blue sky when a UFO appeared to his view. He first thought of it as a satellite but realized it had lights that were changing in colors and movement.

He then thought it might be an airplane approaching with its lights on. His wife also observed the object, and they managed to get a video of it. For ten minutes, the object stayed in one position in the sky. The pair’s sighting lasted for 15 minutes.

MUFON investigator Timothy Ward talked with the couple about their UFO sighting.

Ward said that the pair told him the same story. They saw a triangle object at about 60-degree angle with three golden lights from the horizon. The husband and wife saw it from the north and hovered for 10 minutes and recorded it on video. The UFO then moved off to the east.

Ward checked for satellites and ISS, but none found at the observation time in the area. Chief Investigator Maryanne Snyder confirmed that the video isn’t manipulated. The witness report is filed under case 79072 in the witness reporting database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).

Grootste radiotelescoop ter wereld gericht op ‘buitenaardse megastructuur’

Het Breakthrough Listen-project gaat de komende 10 jaar 100 miljoen dollar investeren in de zoektocht naar signalen van buitenaardse beschavingen.

Tabby’s ster zal als eerste worden bestudeerd met de 100 meter grote Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, zo hebben leden van het team aangekondigd.

De komende twee maanden wordt de grootste radiotelescoop ter wereld drie nachten acht uur lang op de ster gericht. Woensdag zijn de eerste waarnemingen verricht.

Vreemde gedrag

Tabby’s ster, officiële naam KIC 8462852, bevindt zich op zo’n 1500 lichtjaar van de aarde. Uit waarnemingen met NASA’s Kepler-telescoop bleek dat de ster de afgelopen jaren diverse keren een stuk zwakker is geworden, soms tot wel 22 procent.

Deze periodieke helderheidsdipjes kunnen volgens astronomen niet worden verklaard door een planeet die om de ster draait.

Sommigen denken dat een onbekende structuur in de ruimte ergens tussen de aarde en Tabby’s ster verantwoordelijk is voor het vreemde gedrag van de ster.

Bizar ding

Het is ook mogelijk dat de helderheidsdipjes worden veroorzaakt door een buitenaardse megastructuur – bijvoorbeeld een enorme verzameling zonnepanelen.

Dat klinkt misschien vergezocht, maar teamleden van Breakthrough Listen willen het niet bij voorbaat uitsluiten.

“De kans is klein, misschien één op een miljard, maar we gaan de mogelijkheid toch onderzoeken,” zei hoofdwetenschapper van Berkeley SETI Dan Werthimer in een verklaring.

“Als ET wordt ontdekt zal het denk ik zoiets zijn; een bizar ding dat iemand bij toeval ontdekt, dat niemand verwacht,” vervolgde hij. “En als we dan beter kijken zien we dat het om een beschaving gaat.”

Mysterie rond dood UFO-expert Max Spiers groeit: Zwart braaksel en gewiste computer

Mysterie rond dood UFO-expert Max Spiers groeit: Zwart braaksel en een gewiste computer

Mysterie rond dood UFO-expert Max Spiers groeit: Zwart braaksel en gewiste computer

UFO-expert en aanhanger van complottheorieën Max Spiers zei vlak voor zijn dood tegen zijn moeder dat zij de zaak moest laten onderzoeken als er iets met hem zou gebeuren.

Enkele dagen later werd hij door zijn vriendin Monika Duval dood gevonden in Polen, waar hij was voor een lezing over samenzweringstheorieën. Hij spuugde ook een ‘zwarte vloeistof uit’.

Volgens de politie zou hij een natuurlijke dood zijn gestorven, maar zijn moeder zegt dat er meer aan de hand is.

Vanessa Bates laat weten dat de computer van de UFO-expert is gewist waardoor ze niet kan achterhalen waar Max zich in zijn laatste dagen mee bezighield.

David Icke

De Poolse politie staat op het punt de zaak te sluiten en zet het onderzoek alleen voort als Bates een betaling doet van 1000 pond. “Er zijn allerlei puzzelstukken die niet in elkaar passen en die een groot vraagteken vormen,” zei ze.

Toen Vanessa na haar scheiding naar Los Angeles verhuisde, begon Max vraagtekens te zetten bij de overheid.

“Hij werd beïnvloed door David Icke en ontmoette andere intelligente mensen die er soortgelijke gedachten op nahielden,” zei ze.

Max geloofde net als Icke dat sommige politici en beroemdheden deels reptiel zijn en dat een Nieuwe Wereldorde onder leiding van neonazi’s hordes ‘supersoldaten’ creëerde met behulp van mind control.

Experimenten

Hij stond over de hele wereld voor volle zalen. Max claimde in 2008 te zijn ‘ontwaakt’ uit de mind control. Hij begon overal vraagtekens bij te zetten, aldus Vanessa.

Max ontmoette Stewart Swerdlow, een in Amerika geboren spiritist die claimt dat de Amerikaanse overheid experimenten op hem uitvoerde.

Swerdlow nodigde Spiers uit voor zijn conferentie in Polen. “Max belde me op en zei ‘mam, ik zit in de problemen. Er zijn hier mensen die slecht zijn’. Hij zei dat ik de zaak moest onderzoeken als er iets met hem gebeurde,” zei Vanessa.

Twee dagen later kreeg Vanessa een sms’je van één van zijn contacten waarin alleen stond: ‘Max is dood’.

“Monika belde me op en zei dat hij die ochtend twee liter zwarte vloeistof had uitgespuugd,” voegde Bates toe. “Waarom ging ze niet met hem naar het ziekenhuis?”

WIJ ZIJN VOEDSEL EN WERKKRACHTEN VOOR DE BUITENAARDSE MEESTERS

WIJ ZIJN VOEDSEL EN WERKKRACHTEN VOOR DE BUITENAARDSE MEESTERS

Een Canadese wetenschapper die werkt voor een geheime Canadese organisatie stuurt een e-mail naar John Podesta, de campagneleider van Hillary Clinton.
Hij werkt aan geheime projecten voor buitenaardsen en wil nu eindelijk wel eens weten voor wie of wat hij nu eigenlijk werkt.

Na de recente lading e-mails die via Wikileaks naar buiten zijn gekomen van John Podesta, zal het moeilijker en moeilijker voor overheden worden om buitenaards leven te ontkennen.

Tussen al die e-mails zit er ook één van een Canadese wetenschapper die zegt te weten dat wij niets anders zijn dan voedsel en werkkrachten voor buitenaardse meesters en dat het hoog tijd wordt dat Amerika nu eindelijk eens volledige openheid van zaken gaat geven.

De e-mail is vorig jaar november geschreven en verstuurd naar John Podesta en is te lezen op de Wikileaks website.

Voor de Nederlandse lezers hebben wij de inhoud van de e-mail vertaald en deze volgt hierna. Interessant daarin is ook dat de man spreekt over bewoners van Mars die hier zouden zijn geland.

Geachte mijnheer Podesta,

Mijn naam is Ken Coffin en ik ben een Canadees staatsburger die woont in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Als goede buur en bondgenoot van Amerika, was ik nieuwsgierig waarom NASA de Canadese spionage instanties verkeerde of misleidende informatie verschaft betreffende bepaalde afwijkende scenario’s die zich nu voor doen.

Onze inlichtingendiensten hebben hun beperkingen. We zijn afhankelijk van Amerikaans Canadese samenwerking om onze doelstellingen te behalen, die voor Amerika prachtige nieuwe werktuigen opleveren.

Waarom worden wij buiten- en afgesloten? Ik neem dat, zowel als Canadees staatsburger als lid van de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap, persoonlijk. We kunnen de ionenmotor niet verbeteren als we worden buitengesloten.

Als Amerika onze langdurige vriendschap niet wil voortzetten en alleen maar wil handelen uit eigenbelang, dan kunnen we charade van een NAFTA nu beëindigen.

We waren vanuit technologisch standpunt superieur aan Amerika. We hebben Amerika niet nodig en ik denk dat u het met mij eens zult zijn dat Amerika zonder onze inspanningen nooit uitgegroeid zou zijn tot wat het nu is.

Canadezen zijn eigenaar van Hollywood, Florida, de Stanley Cup en wij hebben recht op de Pennant (sportvlag) die van ons werd gestolen door een baseball staking.

Omdat we daar alle recht op hebben, eisen wij volledige disclosure van buitenaards contact en alle verdragen die Amerika heeft gesloten met buitenaardsen. We mogen dan geen sterke inlichtingendienst hebben, we hebben wel weten vast te stellen dat wij voedsel, werkkrachten en generatoren voor hulpmiddelen zijn voor buitenaardse Meesters.

Onze informatie is rechtstreeks afkomstig van jullie Ministerie van Defensie, informeel en niet officieel, door betrouwbare bronnen. Wat wij nu willen weten, is of wij mee kunnen spelen of dat we, net zoals de laatste keer, buitenspel gezet zullen worden.

Ik vertegenwoordig een organisatie in Canada die officieel niet bestaat, die eruit ziet als jullie DARPA, maar met de overheid samenwerkt om een positieve zakelijke groei te bewerkstelligen.

Ons belang ligt in een positieve bijdrage voor de groei van de mensheid. Wij denken dat we de wereld een betere plek kunnen maken, gelukkiger en met meer vrede. Maar, we kunnen dat niet doen als we op het punt staan een massale uitroeiing van de mensheid mee te maken.

Onze historische gegevens zijn fout en met alle informatie die wordt achtergehouden of waarover wordt gelogen, krijgen wij het gevoel dat Amerika ons in een val lokt. Als u ons alstublieft zou willen helpen, zou dat heel erg worden gewaardeerd.

We moeten gewoon weten met wie en wat we te maken hebben. Wat zijn hun bedoelingen? Zijn ze vijandig? Kunnen wij hen stoppen als het nodig is. Wat voor overeenkomsten zijn er gesloten? Als blijkt dat Amerika het vertrouwen van Canada heeft beschaamd of zichzelf naar voren heeft geschoven ten koste van Canada, dan kan ik u vertellen dat wij niet nog een Afghanistan zullen tolereren. Dat was tien jaar werk verspild.

We hoeven Amerika niet de cup te laten winnen of hen de Pennant laten veroveren en we hoeven zeker niet onze valuta kunstmatig laag te houden om het Amerikaanse ego te bevredigen.

Wij kunnen ook zelf overeenkomsten sluiten met deze buitenaardse bezoekers/Marsbewoners die zijn geland. Maar, wij zullen hen niet benaderen, tenzij Amerika ons geen toegang tot hen geeft en ons niet volledig informeert.

Mijn advies is om te zorgen dat wij ook aan tafel komen. Wij hebben meer informatie nodig, want onze gegevens zijn op dit moment niet up to date. Onze mislukte pogingen om te proberen UFO’s te vangen, laat zien hoe zwak wij waren. Dat is omdat wij geen idee hebben met wie we te maken hebben. We hebben meer gegevens nodig.

Daarnaast hebben we hulp nodig omdat de magnetische pool zich beweegt in de richting van de evenaar. We hebben hulp nodig. Als we bondgenoten vinden die ons kunnen helpen, dan zijn ze van harte welkom. Of anders zullen we in ieder geval over 20+ jaar allemaal dood zijn.

Het magnetisch noorden bevindt zich nu boven Siberië. In tien jaar tijd zal het zich boven de Zwarte Zee bevinden en over 20 jaar boven Indonesië. Als Amerika een overeenkomst kan bewerkstelligen, dan zou nu een goede tijd zijn om te beginnen met de “calling in of favors”. (Aankloppen bij mensen of buitenaardsen die bij jou in het krijt staan om iets terug te doen).

VLIEGTUIG AMERIKAANSE KUSTWACHT FILMT UFO ( VIDEO )

VLIEGTUIG AMERIKAANSE KUSTWACHT FILMT UFO ( VIDEO )

Een vliegtuig van de Amerikaanse kustwacht ziet tijdens een routinevlucht vanaf Puerto Rico een vreemd roze/rood licht boven de oceaan.

Ze geven het door aan de verkeersleiding die bevestigt ook een object te zien op de radar, maar ook dat ze niet weten wat het is.

Zeer interessante videobeelden die al enkele jaren geleden zijn gemaakt, doen nu de ronde op internet.

Het betreft opnames gemaakt met een camera aan boord van een DHC-8 vliegtuig van de Amerikaanse kustwacht.

xxx

De video is blijkbaar in handen gekomen, via een klokkenluider, bij een groep die zich Scientific Coalition for Ufology(SCU) noemt. Volgens SCU heeft het lang geduurd voordat ze de video hebben gepubliceerd omdat ze er honderd procent zeker van wilden zijn dat de deze echt was.

Dat schijnt nu het geval te zijn en het verhaal gaat als volgt:

De video is opgenomen aan boord van het vliegtuig van de kustwacht dat onder de verantwoording valt van de DHS (Department of Health and Security) als onderdeel van wat men noemt Customs and Border Protection.

Het vliegtuig was gestationeerd op het Aguadilla vliegveld van Puerto Rico en vertrekt op 25 april 2013 voor een patrouillevlucht ’s avonds om twintig over negen.

De bemanning zag tijdens die routinevlucht op een bepaald moment een rose/roodachtig licht boven de oceaan. Aangezien hen niet was verteld dat er zich daar ander verkeer zou ophouden, namen ze contact op met de verkeersleiding.

Deze kwamen terug met de mededeling dat ook zij een object zagen, maar het niet konden identificeren.

Op de video die met de camera aan boord is gemaakt, zie je een vreemd vliegend voorwerp dat duidelijk geen vliegtuig of drone is. Het object lijkt op een soort metalen bol en vliegt vreemde patronen.

Het onbekende object vloog met een snelheid van enkele honderden kilometers per uur net boven de grond. Het meest vreemde deel van de opname is wanneer het op een gegeven moment weer boven het water van de oceaan komt en in tweeën breekt.

Misschien is dit soort berichten aanleiding voor meer klokkenluiders om ook met hun verhalen naar buiten te komen. Van officiële zijde hoeven wij wat dat betreft helemaal niets te verwachten, maar als er een stroom klokkenluiders met informatie komt, worden ze misschien gedwongen om eindelijk openheid van zaken te geven.

UFO Competes With Blue Angels At Air show In Florida, Photos, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: 3-22-2016, reported today
Location of sighting: Pensacola, Florida, USA
Source: MUFON #80068

This UFO was caught shooting past the Blue Angeles a few months ago. Alien craft are often attracted to planes and jets because aliens want to learn about the most advanced and fastest methods of travel we have on Earth. Jets offer them a lot of fun for several reasons. First they see the technology. Second they get to see them doing acrobatic manoeuvres. Third, they get to test their UFO to see if the UFO is capable of doing the same manoeuvres or not, which is what the UFO is doing in the photo above.

The close up of the UFO shows that it has many windows in it, which means its not a drone, and it has many people. The size of the UFO looks to be the same of the plane, however the thickness would indicate that the aliens are only about 1 foot or less tall.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

Went to watch the Blue Angels practice in Pensacola. UFO showed up in one of my photos and appears to be traveling very fast. Never saw it with my naked eye.

How The Universe Would Look If You Could See Radio Waves

The word “spectacular” comes to mind.

David Freeman Managing Editor of Impact & Innovation, The Huffington Post

NATASHA HURLEY-WALKER/ICRAR/CURTIN AND THE GLEAM TEAM

The GLEAM view of the center of the Milky Way in radio color. Red indicates the lowest frequencies, green the middle frequencies and blue the highest frequencies. Each dot is a galaxy with around 300,000 radio galaxies observed as part of the GLEAM survey.

Maybe you’ve always wondered what the universe would look like if you could see radio waves ― or maybe not. Either way, you’ll be wowed by this extraordinary new view of the cosmos as seen by the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope in the Australian outback.

Even astronomers are awed by the view, a product of the Galactic and Extragalactic All-Sky MWA (GLEAM) survey of 300,000 galaxies in frequencies from 70 to 230 megahertz.

Those frequencies are invisible to the naked eye.

“The human eye sees by comparing brightness in three different primary colors ― red, green and blue,” Dr. Natasha Hurley-Walker, an early career research fellow at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) in Bentley, Western Australia, and the lead author of a new paper describing the the survey, said in a press statement. “GLEAM does rather better than that, viewing the sky in 20 primary colors.”

For an even more spectacular viewing experience, the “Gleamoscope” tool (below) lets you see the universe as it appears across the electromagnetic spectrum ― from radio waves and microwaves, to far-infrared and visible light, to X-rays and gamma rays.

The tool is based on the Chromoscope, an interactive graphic produced at Cardiff University in Wales, the New York Times reported.

Hurley-Walker and her collaborators are interested in more than just pretty pictures, as you might imagine.

“Large sky surveys like this are extremely valuable to scientists and they’re used across many areas of astrophysics, often in ways the original researchers could never have imagined,” ICRAR astronomer Dr. Randall Wayth, a co-author of the paper, said in the statement.

Dr. Jay Pasachoff, an astronomer at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, called the GLEAM survey “important research” in an email to The Huffington Post. He added, “It’s great that there are new radio telescopes ... that are mapping the radio waves that come from celestial objects at finer resolutions than we had before.”

Yale astrophysicist Dr. Meg Urry gave a similar assessment of the GLEAM research. In an email to HuffPost, she called it “a gold mine for scientists interested in many different areas.”

The GLEAM astronomers are using the survey to find out what happens when clusters of galaxies collide, Hurley-Walker said, adding that they’re also able to see remnants of explosions from the oldest stars and supermassive black holes’ “last gasp.”

Of course, the real gasps will be the ones from the people who see the image.

SHOCKING! SCIENTISTS REVEAL THE UNIVERSE COULD DELETE ITSELF AT ANY MOMENT

SHOCKING! SCIENTISTS REVEAL THE UNIVERSE COULD DELETE ITSELF AT ANY MOMENT!

The end of everything is nearing us all! Or perhaps not, but we won't know when it's here.

It's a mysterious universe we are living in, so magnificent and complex that researchers and experts have come up with hundreds of theories on how it originated, how it works and when it ends.

The infinite questions that we hold about the universe will keep us thrilled for the rest of our lives, and the universe will probably end before we can even figure it out.

We fear the universe will trigger either a Big Crunch or a Big Rip during it's course, colliding into a singularity state or ripping itself apart.

Scientists have revealed that the universe could delete itself, without anyone even noticing it. Experts believe that our universe has reached it's lowest state with every particle in existence except for the "Higs Field".

The Sun’s Mysterious Tilt Gets A Surprising Explanation

Astronomers point to Planet Nine.

David Freeman Managing Editor of Impact & Innovation, The Huffington Post

For more than a century and a half, astronomers have known that the sun is tilted.

That is, the sun rotates on an axis that isn’t quite perpendicular to the orbits of Earth and the other major planets ― all of which lie in the same plane because all formed out of a disk-shaped cloud of gas and dust that was spinning around the sun early in the solar system’s 4.6-billion-year history.

But no one has ever come up with a convincing explanation for this peculiar tilt ― until now.

In a new study slated for publication in The Astrophysical Journal, three planetary scientists at Caltech in Pasadena, California, contend that the tilt was caused by Planet Nine. That’s the massive and as-yet-unseen planet whose existence at the outer edges of the solar system was predicted in research published earlier this year.

Planet Nine is thought to be about 10 times bigger than Earth and about 500 times farther from the sun, according to Space.com. Its orbit is believed to be inclined at an angle of about 30 degrees from the other planets’ orbital plane.

This cockeyed orbit means that Planet Nine’s gravitational forces have been tugging on the other planets in a way that has gradually caused their orbital plane to shift.

“Because Planet Nine is so massive and has an orbit tilted compared to the other planets, the solar system has no choice but to slowly twist out of alignment,” Elizabeth Bailey, a graduate student at Caltech and the study’s lead author, said in a press statement.

The sun’s spin axis has a tilt of about 6 degrees off the orbital plane of the major planets. And when the scientists calculated how much of a tilt Planet Nine would have caused, they came up with the same number. Mystery solved!

Of course, technically speaking, the sun only appears tilted from our perspective.

“What’s actually going on is that the sun is staying put in its fixed reference frame and it’s the planetary orbits that are being tilted by Planet Nine,” study co-author Konstantin Batygin, an assistant professor of planetary science at Caltech, told Astronomy magazine. “So Planet Nine has tilted the entire disk of the solar system by 6 degrees and because we live on that disk...to us it looks like the sun is tilted, but it’s actually the other way around.”

But if that’s the explanation for the sun’s apparent tilt, what explains Planet Nine’s bizarre orbit?

There are several possible explanations, Batygin told The Huffington Post. The likeliest, he said, is that early in the solar system’s history, gravitational forces from a star not far from the sun pulled Planet Nine from the orbital plane that until then it had shared with the other planets.

Of course, that’s not proven. Nor has it been proven that Planet Nine actually exists.

“It’s not firmly established that Planet Nine is there, because we’ve never seen it,” Batygin said. “Am I certain that it’s there? Absolutely.”

And proof could be on the way. Batygin said several groups of astronomers are searching for Planet Nine using some of the world’s biggest telescopes.

Watch A Drone Replace A Light Bulb (And Smash A Few Others In The Process)

Behold, the future!

Nina Golgowski Trends reporter, The Huffington Post

How ny drones does it take to screw in a light bulb? Apparently two, and about nine smashed bulbs (hey, progress requires risks), according to the description of a fascinating video uploaded to YouTube Sunday.

The video shows a quadcopter attempting to replacing a ceiling’s light bulb, while putting a new spin on the worn-out joke, and highlighting how we could one day keep the lights on.

During the drone’s first attempt, the remote-controlled flyer struggles to connect with the bulb and crashes to the ground. (It wiped out pretty good, which we think could be when the second drone came into play.) After multiple tries the drone successfully grasps the bulb with its three prongs. Just a few spins later, it unscrews the bulb.

The drone then carries a replacement bulb up to the outlet before taking another spin to secure it in place. This last step proves to be the easiest and soon the bulb is glowing.

What other hard-to-reach light fixtures could drones one day maintain for us? The future is clearly bright.ma

Australia's 5 best UFO sightings, as recommended by an alien expert

IMAGE: WIKI COMMONS

BY JERICO MANDYBUR

Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle, Roswell. Why are the most famous UFO mysteries so United States-centric? Movies probably have a lot to do with it.

In fact, it was the Independence Day Resurgence home release last week that got us thinking — what about Australia?

Our overseas mates might be surprised to learn that Australia can really hold its own when it comes to spooky UFO reports and abduction testimonies. With mass sightings, "alien hot spots” and even a mysterious oceanic triangle of its own; Down Under has its fair share of alien stories to tell around the camp fire.

Want to hear some? It's almost Halloween, after all. Granted, it's not a holiday directly associated with aliens but you get it. *insert spooky synth sounds*

Mary Rodwell is the founder and principal of the Australian Close Encounter Resource Network, and she's the person you call when you spot a potential UFO, FYI. Especially since the Royal Australian Airforce (RAAF) officially stopped looking into reported sightings in the '90s. She says that it's due to Australia's large size and small population that you don't hear about UFO sightings more.

She told Mashable: "A lot of the time so we don't get it [UFO sightings] recorded or people don't want to talk about it, particularly in more isolated places where farmers see stuff, as they do, and have that experience.

"I have people contacting me every week ... So this isn't just dear old America here, this is everywhere," she said.

While it may be happening everywhere and on the regular, there are some definite Aussie stand outs when it comes to UFO tales. And thanks to Rodwell, we have some leads on the best ones. You're welcome!

1. Mass sighting at Westall High School

The Westall incident is often referred to on the dark corners of the web (where Angel Fire websites dwell), as Australia's most significant mass UFO sightings. It occurred in 1966 at Westall High School in Melbourne. Over 100 students, teachers and members of the public claimed to have seen three metallic objects in the sky, hovering closely.

Afterwards, witnessed claimed they were paid a visit by "men in black" and teachers said they were told to dismiss the incident by police and military authorities. A case of mass hysteria, or something more? *X Files theme tune plays softly in the background*

2. Frederick Valentich, the pilot that vanished

Okay, this is a doozy. in 1978, a 20-year-old pilot and UFO enthusiast named Frederich Valentich was flying over the Bass Strait (separating Tasmania and mainland Australia) when he radioed air traffic control in Melbourne.

In the transmission, the young man describes an object hovering 300 metres (1,000 feet) above him and said it was "not an aircraft." He made statements like "it has a green light and a sort of metallic light on the outside," and "It’s coming for me right now," before his signal was lost. His plane disappeared without a trace. *mystery intensifies*

These nice YouTubers have recorded a reenactment of the transmission.

3. Kelly Cahill, X Files inspiration

Australian woman with the pseudonym "Kelly Cahill" was referenced in the first rebooted episode of the X Files, because that's how cool her case is. In 1993, she and her husband were driving though the Dandenong Ranges when they saw a big ol' "blimp" thing and went to get a closer look.

Next minute, Cahill wakes up in her own car feeling oddly relaxed. The couple returned home only to realise they'd lost an hour and creepily, that Cahill had a painful triangular mark near her bellybutton. Over the next few weeks, she experienced flashbacks, eventually appearing on TV programme Today Tonight (of course) to tell the story of her abduction.

4. The case of the Knowles family

Believers like Mary Rodwell say the 1988 experience of Faye Knowles and her three sons (and their two dogs) is one of the most significant "close encounter" testimonies ever.

Also reportedly involving several witnesses, the story goes involves the family witnessing an egg-like, bright structure. They then went on a high-speed car chase against the object, climaxing with the family's car being lifted from the road as weird black dust, high-pitched sound and a horrible smell overwhelmed the car. "I felt like my brain was being sucked out," said eldest son Patrick at the time. *dun dun DUN*

5. Wycliffe Well, self-described UFO capital

UFO hobbyists rejoice! Australia's got its own tiny town chock full of cute alien signposts. It's a great place for a road-side Instagram. Wycliffe Well is found in the Northern Territory and it calls itself the UFO capital of Australia.

While the idea that it actually experiences "nightly UFO sightings" is up for debate, there's no doubt that it's got the quirkiest caravan park for miles around.

While it's cool to think about road tripping to Australia's UFO hotspots, according to Rodwell, if extra terrestrial beings want to contact you, they'll damn well find a way.

"There does seem to be certain places where craft are seen that little bit more often," she says, "but to be quite honest with you if you're someone they're interested in they can pick you up ... It can be a huge craft above Sydney that you would never see but it would be there if it needs to be…"

Better keep those eyes peeled, earthlings. The truth is out (back) there.

French town upholds UFO ban, flying saucers will be impounded

It may be among the most popular destinations for human tourists but aliens will have to holiday elsewhere, as the mayor of idyllic French town Châteauneuf-du-Pape refuses to lift a ban against UFOs in the area.

"Any aircraft, known as flying saucer or flying cigar, which should land on the territory of the community will be immediately held in custody," the upheld law reads, introduced in 1954 after a man in the area claimed to see two beings dressed like “deep sea divers” emerging from a “cigar-shaped” space-ship, according to France Bleu.

"I'm not going to touch the ban," mayor Claude Avril told France Bleu, attributing the bizarre law to “making a buzz” for the town

The ban, introduced by then-mayor Lucien Young, was praised as brilliant marketing by his son Elie Jeune who said "At that time, people were talking a lot about extra-terrestrials and the unknown, it was in fashion, and there were loads of stories circulating."

"He wanted to make a bit of an advertisement for Châteauneuf,” he added. “It was an excellent publicity stunt... and free."

A Californian vineyard “Cigare Volante,” whose name was inspired by the ban, is proof of his father's plan paying off, along with the fact that no pesky aliens or UFOs have been spotted in the area since.

The town has maintained its quintessential French look, refusing to cave in to tacky tourism. No alien gift shops or UFO tours are visible in the area, with the French deciding to leave that task to Roswell, New Mexico.

Mysterious 'Dark Energy' May Not Exist, Study Claims

By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

The universe may not be expanding at an accelerating rate after all, meaning that mysterious "dark energy" might not actually exist, according to a new study.

This is quite the claim. In 2011, three cosmologists from two research teams won the Nobel Prize in physics for independently showing that distant Type Ia supernovas, which are a kind of exploding star, are moving away from Earth faster than nearby ones are.

These surprising results, which were published in the late 1990s, strongly suggested that some strange force must be spreading space-time apart. If no such force exists, the reasoning goes, then the expansion of the universe that began with the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago should not be accelerating. Instead, it should be decreasing, slowed by the collective gravitational pull of all the galaxies, black holes and other matter in the cosmos. [Dark Energy: The Mystery Explained (Infographic)]

This hypothetical dispersive force came to be known as dark energy, because astronomers didn't really know what it was (and still don't, as a matter of fact).

But the new study, which was published online Friday (Oct. 21) in the journal Scientific Reports, questions this Nobel Prize-winning conclusion. Lead author J.T. Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and his colleagues analyzed 740 Type Ia supernovas using a different theoretical framework than the one that the two research teams employed in the 1990s. (The previous work also looked at just 70 or so Type Ia supernovas, Nielsen's team pointed out.)

**Astronomers know more about what dark matter is not than what it actually is. See what scientists know about dark matter in this Space.com infographic.**
**Credit: Karl Tate, Space.com Infographics Artist**

The new analysis found just "marginal evidence" for the concept of dark energy and accelerating expansion.

"The evidence for accelerated expansion is, at most, what physicists call '3 sigma.' This is far short of the 5-sigma standard required to claim a discovery of fundamental significance," co-author Subir Sarkar, of Oxford University in England, said in a statement.

"So it is quite possible that we are being misled, and that the apparent manifestation of dark energy is a consequence of analyzing the data in an oversimplified theoretical model — one that was in fact constructed in the 1930s, long before there was any real data," Sarkar added.

Sarkar acknowledged that "a lot of work will be necessary to convince the physics community" that this latter possibility could actually reflect reality. This appraisal seems to be accurate; there has indeed been pushback from other astronomers.

One skeptic is Paul Sutter, an astrophysicist at The Ohio State University (and a contributor to Space.com's "Expert Voices" section). For starters, Sutter thinks that Nielsen et al. shouldn't be so dismissive of the statistical link that they found.

"I don't know, 3 sigma is pretty great to me," he told Space.com. "Their paper very clearly points to a universe with dark energy."

While Sutter agreed with Sarkar that a 3-sigma detection is not entirely convincing by itself, he stressed that the motion of Type Ia supernovas is far from the only evidence supporting the existence of dark energy. Sutter cited, among other things, oscillations in the cosmic microwave background (the ancient light left over from the Big Bang); observations of large-scale structure in the universe; and "baryon acoustic oscillations," which are odd fluctuations in the density of matter.

"If we had a universe with no dark energy, those features would have disappeared long ago," Sutter said. "We have scads of evidence — multiple and independent probes — that all point to a universe with dark energy. And the authors [of the new study] try to just kind of hand wave this stuff away."

Sutter said that the new paper should help scientists better understand how to use supernova data to get a better handle on dark energy. But he thinks the authors made an unwarranted leap in suggesting that, as Sarkar put it, "a key pillar of the standard cosmological model is rather shaky."

"If you took out the strong claims that the authors are trying to make, it's an interesting nuts-and-bolts methodology paper," Sutter said. "But it doesn't really even begin to rock the foundations of modern cosmology."

Elon Musk Offers New Details on SpaceX Mars Colony

On Sunday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took to Reddit to answer further questions about the forecasted mission to Mars. The first manned mission to Mars will have just “about a dozen people.” Musk has previously said that the likelihood of death on the first mission will be “very high,” which means that these twelve souls, if they make it to the Red Planet, will become legitimate heroes.

Musk’s Ask Me Anything took place within the SpaceX subreddit, so many of the responses were fairly technical. He spent about an hour answering questions; there were 5,371 comments, 15 of which came from Musk himself. With a few of his responses, however, we can glean details about the early missions, the first settlers’ roles, and the habitations.

A rendering of the Interplanetary Transport System as it approaches Mars.

To start, Musk said that the first missions “will be heavily weighted towards cargo.” It’s part of his four-step program to colonize: The first two steps are unmanned, logistical missions to perfect landing, test water extraction, and drop off equipment. But the first manned mission, he said, would have “about a dozen people.” (In 2012, Musk said that the first manned mission would have fewer than 10 people; it would seem that he’s changed his mind.) They will travel “with equipment to build rudimentary base, and complete the propellant plant.” These audacious experts will be the first-ever interplanetary humans, and they’ll make the voyage knowing that odds of death are high. Their priority will be to “build out and troubleshoot the propellant plant and Mars Base Alpha power system.”

And these dozen people will need to be ready to die. “I think the first trips to Mars are going to be really, very dangerous,” he said at the International Astronautical Conference (IAC) in September. “The risk of fatality will be high. There is just no way around it. It would basically be, ‘Are you prepared to die?’ Then, if that’s OK, then you’re a candidate for going.” It’ll be like The Right Stuff, except even more daring. And, no matter what happens, it’s safe to assume that this baker’s dozen will be deified back on Earth.

Later missions, after the proto-colony is established, will be crewed with about a hundred legitimate settlers. Moving forward, SpaceX will seek to “double the number of flights with each Earth-Mars orbital rendezvous, which is every 26 months, until the city can grow by itself,” Musk wrote. At the IAC, when he outlined the journey’s specifics, Musk said that passengers onboard would be treated to luxurious living, such that make the approximately 80-day trip more pleasant.

“It has to be fun or exciting. It can’t be cramped or boring,” he said. The colonists’ living space, then, will include zero-gravity games, a restaurant, and movies. “Will aim to release details of the habitation section when we have actual live mockups. Maybe in a year or two,” he wrote.

SpaceX has a lot of ground to cover before it begins populating the red soil: It hopes to begin colonization within a decade, but, on Reddit, Musk admitted that SpaceX has yet to master most phases of the project — excluding, perhaps, the “starting engines.” Let’s hope that fewer than 10 years is enough time for SpaceX engineers to master the rest of the process. It’s just rocket science, after all.

Surprise! Cold Gas 'Halos' Found Around Brightest Objects in Universe

By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor

Gas halos around distant galaxies are colder and more common than previously believed, a new study suggests. The finding could force astronomers to rethink some of their theories about galaxy formation.

Researchers examined 19 quasars, or galaxies with very active supermassive black holes at their centers, using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile. You can see a video of the quasar halos here. Quasar black holes eat huge amounts of nearby material, such as gas and stars, very quickly, causing the galaxy centers to blast out large amounts of radiation. This makes quasars the most luminous objects in the universe.

Previous studies had found that about 10 percent of all quasars have halos, which are made of gas from the intergalactic medium and extend up to 300,000 light-years from the quasars' cores. So the astronomers were surprised to find halos around all 19 of their study objects. [Distant Quasar Lights Up Galactic Halo (Video)]

"It is still too early to say if this is due to our new observational technique or if there is something peculiar about the quasars in our sample," study lead author Elena Borisova, an astrophysics professor at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, said in a statement, referring to the group's use of a relatively new instrument on the VLT called MUSE (Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer).

**A mosaic of 18 of the 19 quasars observed using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. The survey revealed that all 19 quasars had bright halos.**
**Credit: ESO/Borisova et al.**

"So there is still a lot to learn; we are just at the beginning of a new era of discoveries," Borisova added.

The survey held another surprise as well: The newly studied halos have temperatures of around 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit (10,000 degrees Celsius).

"This revelation is in strong disagreement with currently accepted models of the structure and formation of galaxies, which suggest that gas in such close proximity to galaxies should have temperatures upwards of a million degrees [Celsius; 1.8 million degrees F]," European Southern Observatory representatives said in the same statement.

A paper based on the research will appear in the Astrophysical Journal.

Schiaparelli's Explosive Crash on Mars

Anew image captured by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter this week further illustrate exactly what happened during the Schiaparelli lander’s crash onto the surface of Mars last week. By the looks of the impact and the formation of patterns characteristic of a small crater, the new image provides more support that Schiaparelli’s thrusters shut off prematurely and caused the lander to experience a fatal drop to the ground.

Last Thursday, MRO was able to snap a few photos of the presumed site where Schiaparelli was thought to have landed, using its low-resolution CTX camera. Those images were the first evidence to suggest Schiaparelli exploded as it landed on Mars, but ESA officials were more eager to see what MRO could find using HiRISE, the highest-resolution camera onboard the orbiter.

The latest image, taken October 25 by HiRISE, shows three impact locations that are within 0.9 miles of each other — areas where Schiaparelli’s hardware hit the dirt.

This Oct. 25, 2016, image from the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the area where the Europe's Schiaparelli test lander struck Mars, with magnified insets of three sites where spacecraft components hit the ground. It adds detail not seen in earlier imaging of the site.

The dark, circular feature is where the spacecraft itself seems to have landed. A series of rays protruding from that site are indicative of a hard landing like a meteorite. Earlier this week, an ESA official expressed his hunch that a computer glitch caused Schiaparelli’s thrusters to shut down early — and the HiRISE image bolsters that theory.

An asymmetric amount of debris at the crash site seems to have been strewn into one location. In a news release, ESA says its possible that a hydrazine propellant tank blew up in a specific direction upon impact.

The lander’s heat shield seems to have landed about 0.8 miles to the east, and the parachute just 0.8 miles south of the crash site. Both items were ejected from Schiaparelli earlier than they were supposed to be, at an altitude between 1.2 and 2.5 miles.

MRO will be collecting more images in the next couple of weeks, and ESA hopes analysis of those photos will help flesh out the investigation behind Schiaparelli’s lost contact more clearly. It’s still unclear exactly what would have caused the landers thrusters to shut down early.

The Odd History of DARPA's Cyborg Insect Sentinels Joe Carmichael

The next time you see a moth, dragonfly, or other winged insect, go in for a closer look. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been developing insect cyborgs for the past seven-plus decades, and a recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from San Jose State University Lecturer Dr. Susan Maret’s blog “secrecy {fragments}” shows just how sophisticated these futuristic, dystopian bug drones have become.

Over a year after Maret’s FOIA request, DARPA sent back 88 pages, most of which were Powerpoint slides. Since the 1940s, DARPA’s toiled to develop Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). It didn’t take long for engineers to realize that the key to effective MAVs was right in front of their eyes: Nature’s own insects — and, in some cases, winged mammals — were ideal case studies to be mimicked and, in some designs, enslaved. These engineers, along with DARPA’s numerous contractors and subsidized academic institutions, began developing HI-MEMS — Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems.

Yikes.

In the paper’s conclusion, the authors write: “We also showed down-and up-stroke actuation of each wing separately, through which we were able to affect the flight direction of Manduca sexta. This work paves the way for future engineering approaches to utilize the bioelectronic interfaces, especially for realizing insect cyborgs.” In the acknowledgements, the researchers thank DARPA’s HI-MEMS program for single-handedly footing the bill.

Eight years have passed since these researchers’ insect cyborgs first took flight. It could well be that these cyborg bugs already fly among us, or patrol far-off battlefields. Or maybe they remain an unfulfilled prophecy. Regardless, like the cicadas, they’re bound to rise soon enough.

Three Alternative Ways Scientists Should Hunt for Aliens

Artist's rendering of one of the Earth-sized planets where we might one day find alien life.

There are four main approaches to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), and we tend to channel most of our energy and resources into only one of them: electromagnetic signals.

EM signals are special transmissions of radio and/or light that could have been generated by aliens. But, as Forbes noted recently, we also have the ability to study gravitational wave signals, neutrino signals, and macroscopic probes — and it would be a mistake to ignore these pieces in the hunt for other lifeforms.

We focus on EM signals, in part, because we believe that aliens might be like us: They’ve discovered how to harness the energy of radio waves, and are able to push those signals out into space. Groups like the SETI Institute, and METI International, are dedicated to surveying optical and radio signals and parsing them for signs of alien life (spoiler: pretty much never aliens). They remain the most promising indication we can conceive of — and act on — in terms of locating alien-built civilizations and megastructures. Still, sometimes you want to keep your options open.

LIGO's direction plan for gravitational waves, which may clue us in to the whereabouts of aliens.

Gravitational wave signals

The technology to measure gravitational waves, is helping us to understand the age and origin of the universe. But if aliens have outfitted their home planet with loads and loads of satellites, then we might be able to pick up those satellites with gravitational wave detectors. This is a nascent field, full of nascent technology — we only detected gravitational waves for the first time last year, after a century of searching for them — but it’s absolutely worth keeping an eye on. Unlike EM signals, gravitational signals don’t degrade. As we continue to make technological breakthroughs, this field might increasingly become the one we turn to for our alien-hunting projects.

Neutrino signals

If you believe nuclear power is the future (for aliens, not just us), then this is the theory for you. Nuclear fusion produces a neutrino signature that would be immediately identifiable as artificial, as opposed to naturally occurring (like what the Large Hadron Collider is capable of doing).

Neutrinos are still the second-most common particle in the universe after photons. If we can calibrate our technology precisely enough to search for that signal, we should be able to pick it up pretty much anywhere.

Macrobiotic space probes

This encompasses everything from small satellites to giant stellar megastructures. As Forbes explained, this one is the most fun to imagine, but probably the least valid from a scientific standpoint. Stars are really far apart, guys! Even if aliens were building probes and launching them directly at Earth, the chances that we’d be able to find them are slim. We’re better off surveying large swaths of sky for signals like the ones above, or, when possible, looking at the surface of promising exoplanets to see if they’ve been altered in some way.

Marslander Schiaparelli ‘doelbewust neergeschoten door de NASA’

De Marslander Schiaparelli had vorige week moeten landen op de rode planeet, maar tijdens de afdaling raakte het contact met de robot verloren.

De Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA meldde dat Schiaparelli waarschijnlijk van twee tot vier kilometer hoogte is neergestort en vervolgens ontploft.

Onderzoek moet duidelijk maken wat er precies is misgegaan. Op foto’s is de parachute van de lander te zien, die eerder in de afdaling werd gebruikt.

Bewust vernietigd

Een kilometer noordelijker is een zwarte plek van 40 meter lang en 15 meter breed te zien. Daar is de Schiaparelli waarschijnlijk neergestort.

Volgens een complottheorie is de crash van de Schiaparelli geen ongeluk, schrijft Tech Times. Scott Waring van UFO Sightings Daily suggereert namelijk dat de Marslander doelbewust is neergeschoten door NASA.

Hij voegt toe dat het Amerikaanse ruimteagentschap ook een aantal andere sondes die speurden naar buitenaards leven bewust heeft vernietigd.

Nooit toestaan

De landing van Schiaparelli was bedoeld om de technologie te testen voor een toekomstige missie waarbij wordt gezocht naar tekenen van leven op Mars.

De NASA schiet andere ruimteschepen volgens Waring neer om er zeker van te zijn dat ze het eerste ruimteagentschap zal zijn dat het bestaan van buitenaards leven aankondigt.

“NASA zal een ander land nooit toestaan om de ontdekking van leven op Mars aan te kondigen,” schreef hij.

Phobos-Grunt

De complottheoreticus claimde dat NASA ook verantwoordelijk is voor de vernietiging van de Russische sonde Phobos 2 in 1989 en de Russische Marssonde Phobos-Grunt in 2011.

Landen op Mars blijkt erg lastig, aangezien Schiaparelli niet de eerste mislukte Marsmissie is. De Schiaparelli moest de eerste Europese sonde op Mars worden.

MUFON International tracking multiple triangle UFO reports

Four triangle UFO cases were reported to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) international desk in recent months from Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada and Iran.

A Switzerland witness at Neuchatel recalled an incident from March 2011 when he and his wife were sitting in the living room of their apartment at Rue de la Cote.

“My wife sat under a side window of the room from where you can see the Rue Auguste Bachelin,” the witness stated.“It was already dark outside and there were nearly no cars in that road anymore. There is anyway not much traffic in that road. It was very silent outside and inside we had no light switched on as we were watching TV. It is impossible that this is any reflection from the inside. Then I turned around to talk to my wife and I saw a huge triangle with three lights under each corner.”

The Switzerland witness in Case 78921 submitted this illustration of the triangle UFO seen in 2011.

The witness described the object.

“It was approximately 15-20 meters wide and maybe 1.5 meters high. The edges were rounded and there were no windows or anything to see. Maybe there was something on the top, but that was not visible from that angle. The object was flying/hovering maybe 10 meters or lower from west to east, following the street.”

The witness was able to watch the object for between 10 and 20 seconds.

“The speed was very low, but I cannot tell how fast it was. It seemed to me like it was searching something like a police helicopter, but it was sure no helicopter. I am a FPV drone pilot myself and I know how a helicopter flies and that it has to make a lot of sound when flying so low. Surface was black matte without any symbols or markings as far as I have seen it.”

The witness submitted one illustration with the report.

“The next week I have searched in Google for a triangle UFO and it looks nearly exactly like the one described in the ‘Belgium UFO Wave’ from 1989 but without the red light in the middle. My wife asked me what was wrong, but before I could answer the object was gone. She was making jokes of me so I didn’t talk to anybody about that until now. But I am nearly sure that someone else must have seen it. Please let me know if there are other reports so I know I am not crazy.”

MUFON International CAG team member Wolfgang Stelzig closed this case as an Unknown.

A New Zealand witness at Christchurch recalled a UFO event from 1990 when a V-shaped UFO about 120 feet long moved overhead on November 12.

“I could see the struts quite clearly,” the witness stated.“It was the shape of electrical pylons on its side. As it passed over there was no noise. I could see part of blue light /disc upfront and two light blue lights at the rear.”

A New Zealand witness said the triangle UFO had blue lights. Pictured: Christchurch, New Zealand.

The witness explained his position.

“We lived on Cashmere Hills quite high up. After viewing this object for about 20 minutes, I asked my wife to get the video camera. I filmed it for 10 minutes. It somehow turned into a circular light jumping all over the place.”

The object the moved toward the witness.

“When the craft passed over, it was a huge triangle shape with light blue discs on the rear and front. There was no noise.”

The witness stated that he was later visited by “three men in suits” and questioned about the events.No images or videos were included with the MUFON report.

New Zealand MUFON National Director and STAR Team Member Roger Stankovic is investigating.

A Canadian witness at Estevan reported being overcome with fear after watching two, triangle-shaped UFOs move to the ground level at 8:15 p.m. on August 20, 2016. The witness was at his kitchen table when the lights on the objects caught his eye.

“They formed a triangle,” the witness stated.“There was a bright, orange-red light at the corner of each of them forming a triangle. These triangles that were formed were big. The size, location, and what had appeared they were doing scared me. They were floating, came down to the ground and appeared to be doing something. They were there for some time.”

The witness watched for about 20 minutes.

“I stopped watching them and closed the curtains. I felt that if I continued to watch them, that they would sense my presence there, even perhaps pick up on what I was thinking. At first I thought that a couple of semi-trucks took a wrong turn and had to turn around on our property. As I kept watching I soon realized I was wrong. I was stricken with fear and panic as I had watched what they were doing. I tried to calm myself. I was so worried that they would sense my presence being so close.”

Canadian MUFON Field Investigator Peter Derrick is investigating.

An Iranian witness at Shiraz reported watching a triangle UFO emitting an intense, red light that quickly disappeared about 3:30 a.m. on September 14, 2016.

The Iranian witness said the low flying triangle UFO shone blue light on the area below. Pictured: Shiraz is in southwestern Iran.

“I was awake studying for my post PhD exam,” the witness stated.“I did what I used to do every night. I went out in front of the house and stood right beside the dry river that is just in front of the house. That is when it happened. I saw a red light in distance. It came closer and closer. OMG, I still get goosebumps when I think about it. I couldn’t move at all. I mean I was just like a statue staring at that thing. I am usually very brave compared to my friends and family, but that was the most frightening event of my life.”

The witness said the object was emitting light.

“It then started scattering a red light over the area. I mean everywhere was red. After a minute, it came up and just disappeared in a second. I mean, the way it disappeared was even scary, like blinking. I have never said this to anyone because I think it will probably sound crazy. I didn’t know what to do, who to tell. I just found this site and reported what happened. I also never went back to that spot for smoking. Anyway, just writing about it here made me feel better already. Thank you.”

MUFON International is investigating.

UFO landing and strange occupants reported in Normanton, West Yorkshire, England

UFO landing and strange occupants reported in Normanton, West Yorkshire, England

When I look back now, I am amazed to find that I have been involved in UFO research & investigation for thirty years. Over those years I have been a member of six UFO groups, four of which were in the UK and two overseas. I’ve always had an interest in all things ‘paranormal’ but for some reason UFOs gained my full attention in the late 1970’s. I’ve been asked many times which UFO case most impresses me. Is it the UFO crash at Roswell, or the events at Rendlesham forest in l980? My answer to this question is none of those. It is without a doubt, the UFO case that has most impressed me is one that I investigated with Mark Birdsall when we were both part of the Yorkshire UFO Society. Mark now owns and edits the successful ‘EYE SPY’ magazine and he was part of the hugely successful UFO MAGAZINE with his late bother Graham Birdsall for many years. I doubt if you have ever heard of the following case that Mark and I investigated, but I remember interviewing the witnesses like it was only yesterday.

The following account was first published in the July/August issue of QUEST magazine, at the time the hand printed publication of the Yorkshire UFO Society (YUFOS).

Quest Magazine in 1986. The original hand made publication that detailed the UFO landing at Normanton.

On Friday the 13^th of October 1986, I had been featured in the regional newspaper, the Wakefield Express. The article in question told of my involvement with YUFOS and it encouraged its readers to report any UFO sightings to us. We had a number of observations reported to us, but one stood out among the others. I was telephoned by a lady by the name of Mrs. Westerman. She began by stating that “I wouldn’t believe her.” She repeated this several times before she eventually told me that herself and a number of her children had witnessed the landing of a UFO near her house in Normanton, West Yorkshire a few years earlier complete with humanoid occupants outside it in a nearby field. I quickly took her contact details and along with Mark Birdsall arranged an appointment to see her and conduct an interview.

It wasn’t long before Mark Birdsall and I interviewed her at her home in Normanton. There were seven witnesses to the events in question, six of whom were the children of Mrs. Westerman. In l986, Normanton had a large mining community all of which has gone now. It lies just a few miles outside of the city of Wakefield and the M62 and M1 motorways run close by.

Mrs. Westerman stated that the date of the incident was the summer of l979. She could not remember the date, but speculated that it could have been May or June. Mrs. Westerman went on to inform us that on the day in question she was at home doing the washing. It was a sunny afternoon and a perfect day to get the washing done. Her children were outside playing a ball game and enjoying the sun. They were not on school holiday, so it must have been a weekend.

It was around mid-afternoon when her eight year old daughter suddenly ran into the house shouting and crying and telling her mother to “come quick, an aeroplane had just landed in the field.” The Westerman’s house was an elevated property and was near the end of a cul-de-sac, Beyond that were some fields which contained electricity pylons. Mrs. Westerman switched off her washing machine and ran outside. Just a matter of a few hundred yards away, in the fields adjacent to her house, she saw an object on the ground. It was a dull grey colour and had the appearance of a ‘Mexican hat.’ Around the object stood three very tall ‘men,’ all appeared to be dressed in silver suits. These men seemed to be pointing at a dark instrument on the ground. The children and Mrs. Westerman made there way over the field towards this object and stopped at a fence. The men walked to the rear of the object and it rose vertically, stopped in mid air, and then shot off at an angle at a high rate of speed. Needless to say they were speechless.

Original artist impression: Featured in the 1986 publication is this on-site sketch of the entities by Mark Birdsall.

This was a brief description given by Mrs. Westerman but we also took advantage of speaking to some of the children as well. Unlike Mrs. Westerman, they had actually seen the object come in to land as well. The children were interviewed separately and their story was very consistent. This is what they had to say:

The children had been playing ball behind the house where Mrs. Westerman lived. Eight year old Sandra told us how the ball they were playing with had been thrown up into the air as part of the game. As she went to catch the ball, she observed a strange object in the sky. Sandra shouted to the rest of the children to look and pointed skyward. They all observed a silvery coloured object, disc-shaped, with a rim around the perimeter. The object was at a low level and was seen just above the electricity pylons. It suddenly stopped in mid-air just a few hundred feet up, hovered for a few seconds, before slowly landing in the field. Sandra immediately set off at this point to get her mother.

While Sandra went to fetch her mother, the other children ran towards the landed object but stopped when they reached a fence that enclosed the field. The object itself wasn’t very big, perhaps as long as a large Volvo car. However, the ‘men’ around the object all seemed to be very tall, and the object in their hand looked similar to a torch. These three very tall humanoids had been seen to emerge from the rear of the landed object. Their heads and face were covered by some kind of ‘visor.’ Their silver suits had no zippers, buttons or seems, they had glove or mittens covering their hands and were wearing a wedged shaped boot. None of these men appeared to communicate with each other and their actions were slow and precise.

It was at this point that Mrs. Westerman and her daughter Sandra caught up with the other children. They continued to observe this strange spectacle for about a minute or so. Suddenly, one of the humanoid figures looked up and noticed Mrs. Westerman and the children all standing behind the fence. Now these three very tall men quickly walked away behind the object and were never seen again. A few seconds later the object silently rose from the ground, stopped in mid air, before moving off at an angle at high speed. All seven individuals were amazed by what they had just seen and Mrs. Westerman, the only adult there, had to calm the children down. All seven witnesses hardly spoke about this incident down the years and had never told anyone outside of the family about it until relating it to me and Mark Birdsall.

All six children related similar accounts to us. There were minor discrepancies, but we expected to find that from different people, and several tears after it had happened. All of the children were of the opinion that the dark object the men had in their hands and were moving about looked like a torch, but it had no light and made no sound. The ‘uniforms’ the men were wearing were metallic silver and it would crease when the men moved. All of the witnesses stated quite clearly that both upon landing and departure this object never made a sound.

The location of this event is interesting. The field lies at the end of the houses, which in turn are part of a large housing estate. There are many electricity pylons in the field making it very difficult for such things as helicopters to land. At our interview, a young man by the name of Andrew Lewis was invited to attend by Mrs. Westerman. He was a friend of the children at the time and although he did not observe anything unusual himself, he arrived shortly afterwards and confirmed how excited they all were. Another friend was Danny Shore. He was one of the seven original witnesses and was thirteen years old at the time. He estimated that the whole incident last no more than between five and ten minutes.

Normanton: Near the location in Normanton, West Yorkshire

Both Mark and I visited the location and were impressed by the credibility of the witnesses. At no time did they call the object a ‘spaceship’ or a ‘flying saucer’ and there was no way Mrs. Westerman wanted any publicity, she would not even allow us to take her photograph. They were honest, hard-working down-to-earth people. The children’s accounts were consistent, and all seven witnesses were in no doubt that they had observed something out of the ordinary. Both Mark and I could find no reason for them to concoct such a story. Mrs. Westerman did say that she was amazed that no one else had seen the object. It was a sunny day and it flew at low level over the housing estate.

So there you have it. This is the one UFO case that most impresses me above all others. Why? Well it’s not just because I was involved in it, and it is not necessarily what the witnesses related to us. Instead, it is the witnesses themselves. Normanton had a large miner’s community. In fact, Mrs. Waterman’s husband worked at a local colliery. My late father worked down in the mines all his life, and I grew up with people very much like Mrs. Westerman. Added to that, and despite our best efforts, neither Mark Birdsall nor I could find any rational explanation for this event. It either happened as they reported it to us or they were lying, and we could find no evidence of the latter.

This incident has now led me to begin a long term study of alleged UFO landing reports in the UK. I would therefore like to hear from anyone else, either witness or UFO researcher, who has any information regarding UFO landings in the UK.

Giant UFOs Near Earths Moon Reinforce Hollow Moon Theory, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: 9-29-2015 reported this week
Location of sighting: Brazil
News Source: MUFON #80045

This could be more evidence to the hollow moon theory. So many UFOs have been seen around the moon, yet we don't see a lot of structures on the surface, so there must be a large cavity within.

Hollow Moon Theory: The moon's mean density is 3.34 gm/cm3 (3.34 times an equal volume of water) whereas the Earth's is 5.5. What does this mean?

In 1962, NASA scientist Dr. Gordon MacDonald stated,
"If the astronomical data are reduced, it is found that the data require that the interior of the moon is more like a hollow than a homogeneous sphere."
Nobel chemist Dr. Harold Urey suggested the moon's reduced density is because of large areas inside the moon where is "simply a cavity."

MIT's Dr. Sean C. Solomon wrote,
"the Lunar Orbiter experiments vastly improved our knowledge of the moon's gravitational field... indicating the frightening possibility that the moon might be hollow."
In Carl Sagan's treatise, Intelligent Life in the Universe, the famous astronomer stated, "A natural satellite cannot be a hollow object."

Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

I was in my residence watching the lunar eclipse. I decided to take some pictures, because my son is interested in the subject and he slept because of the schedule. The objects were not visible to the naked eye, and I fixed the camera on a tripod not to move the camera. only the next day I went to see the pictures on the computer, when I found strange white spots around and near the moon. I follow and am interested in UFO phenomena, but thought well before sending the photos.

UFO Causes Coca Cola Truck to Flips Over In Mexico In Oct 21, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: Oct 21, 2016 (Friday)
Location of sighting: Monclova, Coahuila, Mexico
News source:

http://www.zocalo.com.mx/seccion/articulo/captan-ovni-monclovenses

This was just sent to me by French UFO Researcher Christian Mace of http://ovniparanormal.over-blog.com

When a Coca Cola Truck tipped over and spilt out its empty boxes on the side of the road, a UFO appeared. Another truck and two other cars were also traveling with them. Its uncertain why the lead truck turned off the road and flipped on its side, but the driver may have been distracted by the UFO, but afraid to say it. The UFO apparently stuck around and got caught in the photos of the accident. Aliens are curious creatures just like us. Thanks to Christian Mace for this news update.
Scott C. Waring

News states:
Monclova, Mexico. Like an amazing coincidence of science fiction film were, employees of a company Monclova inadvertently caught one unidentified flying object (UFO) while attending a report on the stretch of Highway 53 leads to Backbone, Nuevo Leon.

The incident took place last Friday, around 5:00 pm, when several co-workers were in an incident in this place; however, it was not until after retiring from the site realized that not knowing was part of an unusual event, as in the graphs they took to verify the accident appears a series of objects flying over a truck load of soft drinks, very similar what people describe as UFOs.

"We never noticed anything until the night someone saw the photos and impressed told us to tell us what had happened," said one of the people who were present at that time, who preferred to omit his generals.

He added that to verify the accuracy of the content in the photographs had captured, he decided to corroborate with the rest of his 12 companions images each I caught is from different angles, but to the surprise of everyone in each picture there appeared a UFO.

He also said that in trying to recall when they were at the scene, recalled a strange incident since arriving at the site became a "zone of silence" because the car stereo stopped functioning for no reason.

"Another strange fact is that we wanted to turn on the music, but it never worked, then, when we got to our homes the radio began to work, something had happened, but we did not realize until now that we saw the pictures."

The photos where the alien craft appear were presented yesterday in drafting Monclova Zócalo and although people who were part decided to remain anonymous considered they were going to share it with the media.

Europese Marslander crashte door communicatiefout in de software - HLN.be

Bron: DPA, Belga

llustratie van hoe de landing van Schiaparelli op Mars er uit had moeten zien.

© reuters.

De landing van de Europese Marslander Schiaparelli vorige week woensdag was wellicht aan een fout in de communicatie te wijten. Dit heeft directeur voor Operaties bij het Europese Ruimtevaartbureau ESA Rolf Densing vandaag in het Duitse Darmstadt gezegd. Er was met name een communicatiestoornis tussen software van een radarhoogtemeter en van de navigatie.

Na een reis van zeven maanden en na geslaagde afscheiding van de moedersonde van de eerste Europees-Russische ExoMars-missie is de Schiaparelli (EDM in het ESA-ees) gecrasht en mogelijk ook ontploft op het Marsoppervlak.

Volgens Densing stuurde tijdens de afdaling, die niet van op Aarde werd geleid, een radarhoogtemeter wel informatie maar heeft de navigatie zichzelf uitgeschakeld. Dat is waarschijnlijk op een hoogte van 4 tot 2 km gebeurd, omdat de software van beide niet correct met elkaar heeft gecommuniceerd.

De navigatiesoftware zal hebben gedacht dat de landing reeds was voltrokken. Daarom hebben de negen remraketten enkel de tevoren gekozen minimale tijd van drie seconden gewerkt. Dat had zestig seconden moeten zijn. Waarom de software het liet afweten, dient nog uitgeklaard.

Op ExoMars stond het AMELIA- instrument dat vluchtgegevens verzamelde en doorstuurde, en waarbij de Koninklijke Belgische Sterrenwacht (KSB) betrokken was. De lander voerde ook een "weerstation" mee waarin de KSB participeerde.

De moedersonde Trace Gas Orbiter kwam wel succesvol in een baan rond de Rode Planeet. Ondanks de mislukte landing van de EDM toonde ESA zich tevreden omdat het een test was waarbij voldoende data zijn doorgestuurd.

Hebben deze wetenschappers het mysterie van de Bermudadriehoek ontrafeld? Niet zo snel - HLN.be

Bron: USA Today, Science Channel, MNN

De zeshoekige wolken die volgens Science Channel de mysteries van de Bermudadriehoek zouden verklaren. © Science Channel..

WETENSCHAP Neen, het mysterie van de Bermudadriehoek is niet opgelost. 'Bizarre wolken boven de Bermudadriehoek lossen eeuwenoud mysterie mogelijk op', kopten zowat alle Amerikaanse nieuwssites na een reportage op Science Channel. Daarin getuigden enkele wetenschappers over de zeshoekige wolken die zich boven het gebied ophouden. Even sloeg de fantasie - niet voor het eerst - op hol.

De Bermudadriehoek is een gebied van 500.000 vierkante kilometer in de Atlantische Oceaan, gelegen tussen Florida, Puerto Rico en de Bermuda-eilanden. Het gebied is wereldberoemd voor de vele mysterieuze verdwijningen die er plaatsvonden: in de loop der eeuwen verdwenen er minstens 75 vliegtuigen en honderden schepen.

En in al die jaren doken er ook evenveel verklaringen op van pseudowetenschappers en complottheoretici - van buitenaardse wezens tot bovennatuurlijke krachten. Maar een echte wetenschappelijke verklaring kwam er nog niet.

Tot enkele nieuwssites afgelopen weekend uitpakten met opmerkelijk nieuws: wetenschappers zouden het eeuwenlange mysterie eindelijk opgelost hebben. De geruchtenmolen kwam op gang na een reportage van Science Channel.

Zeshoekige wolken

'Deze dodelijke rukwinden kunnen op het land bomen wegrukken, op zee schepen omverblazen en in de lucht vliegtuigen doen crashen'

Science Channel

Daarin vertelden meteorologen die het gebied bestuderen op basis van satellietbeelden over een weerfenomeen dat ze er gespot hebben. Het gaat om zeshoekige wolken boven het westelijke puntje van de Bermudadriehoek, variërend van 30 tot 90 kilometer doormeter. "Meestal zie je geen rechte randen aan wolken", zegt Steven Miller van Colorado State University. "Meestal zijn wolken veel willekeuriger."

De wolken produceren winden tot 270 kilometer per uur. Randy Cerveny, meteoroloog aan Arizona State University, spreekt van air bombs, of luchtbommen. "Ze worden gevormd door microuitbarstingen, ontploffingen van lucht die uit de onderkant van een wolk komen, de oceaan raken en soms gigantische golven creëren."

Ook boven de Noordzee, aan de Engelse kust, komen dergelijke wolken voor. Daar creëren ze soms golven tot 13 meter hoog. Het is plausibel dat ze dat in de Atlantische Oceaan ook doen, maar een link met de mysterieuze verdwijningen leggen de wetenschappers niet.

Science Channel zelf doet dat wel: "Deze dodelijke rukwiden kunnen op het land bomen wegrukken, op zee schepen omverblazen en in de lucht vliegtuigen doen crashen. Ze zouden dus een verklaring kunnen bieden voor de verdwijning van schepen en vliegtuigen", klinkt het in de reportage.

"Niet ongewoon"

'Ze deden het uitschijnen alsof ik een grote doorbraak aankondigde. Helaas is dat niet het geval'

Randy Cerveny, meteoroloog

Het verhaal ging afgelopen weekend een eigen leven leiden op internet. Van wetenschapssites tot grote nieuwssites als NBC, The Independent en The Huffington Post. Maar één publicatie, USA Today, contacteerde de betrokken wetenschappers zelf. En die vertellen plots een heel ander verhaal.

De wolken zijn vreemd om te zien, maar niet ongewoon, zegt Steven Miller aan de website. Deze patronen worden meestal gezien boven de noordelijke Atlantische Oceaan en het noordelijke deel van de Stille Oceaan van de late herfst tot de vroege lente. Ze ontstaan wanneer koude, droge lucht zich mengt boven warm water.

"Het is een gewoon fenomeen, dat wereldwijd voorkomt", aldus Miller. "Het wordt meestal gezien op locaties met een middelmatige tot hoge breedtegraad en gewoonlijk tijdens het koude seizoen." Omdat het fenomeen zo veel voorkomt, kan het geen verklaring bieden voor de bizarre verdwijningen in de Bermudadriehoek, zegt hij.

Randy Cerveny zegt verbaasd te zijn over de reportage, omdat hij geen origineel werk rond het onderwerp gedaan heeft en speculeerde dat het weerpatroon verklaard zou kunnen worden door geconcentreerde uitbarstingen van lucht van afnemende onweders. "Ze deden het uitschijnen alsof ik een grote doorbraak aankondigde. Helaas is dat niet het geval."

De meest opmerkelijke verdwijningen in de Bermudadriehoek

Verhalen over de mysteries van de Bermudadriehoek zijn er al sinds 1492, toen Christopher Columbus sprak van vreemde lichten en vreemde kompasresultaten in het gebied. Sindsdien werd het mysterie almaar groter. Minstens 75 vliegtuigen en honderden schepen zijn op onverklaarbare wijze in het gebied verdwenen. Een overzicht van de meest opmerkelijke verdwijningen:

• Het eerste gerapporteerde scheepswrak dat wordt toegewezen aan de Bermudadriehoek dateert van 1609, toen het Engelse schip The Sea Venture verging aan het oostelijke uiteinde van Bermuda-eiland. Het leidde tot de eerste menselijke nederzetting op het eiland.

• Een griezeliger verhaal is dat van The Ellen Austin in 1881. De bemanning trof er een ander schip dat op zee dreef zonder één levende ziel aan boord. Een deel van de bemanning ging aan boord van het andere schip en probeerde ermee naar New York te zeilen. Het schip verdween plots - tot het weer opdook zonder één persoon aan boord, om nadien weer zonder spoor te verdwijnen.

• Een van de bekendste verdwijningen vond plaats in 1945. Flight 19, een eenheid van vijf torpedobommenwerpers van het Amerikaanse leger, verdween tijdens een trainingsvlucht, nadat alle contact verloren was gegaan. Alle 14 piloten waren vermist, net als de 13 bemanningsleden van een patrouillevliegtuig dat erop uit was gestuurd om de bommenwerpers te zoeken.

• De meest recente tragedie is die van het verdwenen vrachtschip El Faro in 2015. Het schip, met 33 bemanningsleden aan boord, werd als vermist opgegeven nadat het in een orkaan terechtkwam aan de zuidkust van de Bahama's.

"Aliens willen ons op de hoogte brengen van hun bestaan" - HLN.be

Bron: Belga - The Independent

Een vallende ster siert de sterrenhemel boven de Duitse regio Brandenburg.

(Archieffoto) © epa.

Twee wetenschappers van de Laval-universiteit in het Canadese Québec hebben de afgelopen jaren 2,5 miljoen sterren geobserveerd. Bij de overgrote meerderheid daarvan heb ze niets abnormaals kunnen vaststellen, maar bij 234 sterren hoorden ze dusdanig vreemde boodschappen dat ze vermoeden dat het wel eens om buitenaards leven zou kunnen gaan. Dat staat te lezen in The Independent.

Wetenschappers prof. Ermanno Borra en Éric Trottier voerden een studie naar de sterrenhemel. Een fractie van de sterren vertoonde "vreemd gedrag", zonder dat daar meteen een verklaring voor is. Dat leidt de wetenschappers tot de conclusie dat de het wel eens zou kunnen gaan om aliens die ons op de hoogte willen brengen van hun bestaan, klinkt het.

"We hebben ontdekt dat de signalen exact de vorm hebben van een buitenaards signaal dat in een eerdere publicatie voorspeld werd en ze liggen dan ook in lijn met deze hypothese", luidt het. "Het feit dat ze enkel gevonden werden in een kleine fractie van de sterren in een nauw spectrum vlakbij de zon, komt ook overeen met de hypothese van buitenaards leven."

De studie wordt binnenkort gepubliceerd in het vakblad 'Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific', onder de titel "Signals probably from Extraterrestrial Intelligence". Toch benadrukken de wetenschappers dat er dieper zal moeten ingegaan worden op de zaak om de these van aliens al dan niet te bevestigen.

Astronomen zien hoe ster-in-spé twee zusjes krijgt

Caroline Kraaijvanger

De astronomen zagen de instabiele schijf rond een ster-in-wording uiteenvallen en zo een drievoudig stersysteem ontstaan.

De meeste sterren worden niet alleen geboren, maar hebben minstens één compagnon. Hoe ontstaat zo’n stersysteem? Daar zijn twee theorieën over. De eerste stelt dat het begint met een grote moleculaire wolk waarin materiaal samenklontert, wat kan leiden tot de geboorte van meerdere sterren. De tweede theorie stelt dat het eveneens begint met een moleculaire wolk, maar uit die wolk ontstaat in eerste instantie één ster. Rond die ster bevindt zich een protoplanetaire schijf: het gas en stof dat is overgebleven van de oorspronkelijke wolk. En het materiaal in die schijf valt uiteen in meerdere protosterren.

Tweede theorie
Voor de eerste theorie is al observationeel bewijs geleverd. En nu zijn onderzoekers voor het eerst ook getuige geweest van het proces dat de tweede theorie beschrijft. Ze zagen hoe een instabiele schijf rond een ster-in-spé uiteenviel, zodat een drievoudig stersysteem ontstond. Het stersysteem in kwestie bevindt zich op ongeveer 750 lichtjaar van de aarde en is jonger dan 150.000 jaar.

Het systeem
De centrale ster is 61 AU (1 AU is de afstand van de aarde tot de zon) van de ene protoster verwijderd. De andere protoster is 183 AU van de centrale ster verwijderd. Deze laatste ster is waarschijnlijk nog piepjong en zag tussen de 10.000 en 20.000 jaar geleden het levenslicht.

De onderzoekers willen in de toekomst uit gaan zoeken hoe zeldzaam een dergelijke geboorte van een meervoudig stersysteem is.

'Alien Megastructure' Star Targeted by $100 Million SETI Search

By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

If intelligent aliens actually do live around Tabby's star, astronomers are determined to find them.

The Breakthrough Listen initiative, which will spend $100 million over the next 10 years to hunt for signals possibly produced by alien civilizations, is set to begin studying Tabby's star with the 330-foot-wide (100 meters) Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, project team members announced Tuesday (Oct. 25).

"The Green Bank Telescope is the largest fully steerable radio telescope on the planet, and it's the largest, most sensitive telescope that's capable of looking at Tabby's star given its position in the sky," Breakthrough Listen co-director Andrew Siemion, who also directs the Berkeley SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley, said in a statement. [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Alien Life]

**By surrounding their star with swarms of energy-collecting satellites, advanced civilizations could create Dyson spheres. [Read the Full Dyson Sphere Infographic Here.]**
**Credit: by Karl Tate, Infographics Artist**

"We've deployed a fantastic new SETI instrument that connects to that telescope, that can look at many gigahertz of bandwidth simultaneously and many, many billions of different radio channels all at the same time so we can explore the radio spectrum very, very quickly," Siemion added.

The observations will take place for 8 hours per night for three nights over the next two months, with the first observations set to take place Wednesday (Oct. 26), project team members said.

Tabby's star, officially known as KIC 8462852, lies about 1,500 light-years from Earth. Observations by NASA's Kepler space telescope showed that the star dimmed dramatically several times over the past half-decade or so, at one point by a whopping 22 percent. These occasional brightness dips — which were first reported last year by a team led by Yale University postdoc Tabetha Boyajian (hence the star's nickname) — are far too substantial to be caused by an orbiting planet, astronomers have said.

So researchers have offered up a number of alternative explanations for the dimming to date. Perhaps a cloud of comet fragments periodically blocks the star's light, for example, or maybe some unknown structure in the depths of space between Earth and Tabby's star is responsible.

It's even possible that the brightness dips are caused by an "alien megastructure" — an enormous collection of energy-gathering solar panels, for example.

Astronomers have stressed that the megastructure hypothesis is a long shot, but long shots shouldn't be dismissed out of hand, Breakthough Listen team members said.

"I don't think it's very likely — a one-in-a-billion chance or something like that — but nevertheless, we're going to check it out," Dan Werthimer, chief scientist at Berkeley SETI, said in the same statement. "But I think that E.T., if it's ever discovered, it might be something like that. It'll be some bizarre thing that somebody finds by accident … that nobody expected, and then we look more carefully and we say, 'Hey, that's a civilization.'"

A number of other research teams have already searched for signals coming from Tabby's star, and all of those searches have come up empty so far.

Siemion, Boyajian and astronomer Jason Wright, who's based at Pennsylvania State University, will discuss the planned Tabby's star observations during a video chat from the Green Bank Telescope site on Wednesday at 4 p.m. EDT (2000 GMT).

In April 2016 I visited an elderly couple from Gowarzow (read: Gho-vash-ouv) village the in Radmsko area of Poland who had very interested story to tell.

Gowarzow is a small, quiet community located amongst fields and forests in the Gidle commune in Central Poland. Neighboring Gidle village is famous from a Marian sanctuary with a miraculous stone figure that centuries ago was found in the field by a local farmer.

But Mr. and Mrs. R., now both in their seventies had an even more miraculous story to tell. The sighting occurred on January 10th 2011. The couple were returning home at about 9 pm from a visit to their severely ill relative living several houses away.

Gowarzow is a small village with houses very close to each to other and has an old shop building in the center. The witnesses recalled that the main road was empty and all the inhabitants were in their houses because the winter night was cold but very calm, without any wind, snow and ice.

At about 9:10, R’s saw a bloody red spherical object coming out of the western sky. They observed the UFO descending on to their neighbor’s field, about 300 m from their house. When they arrived at the location they clearly saw the strange object standing on the field behind a barn of their neighbor.

Mr. R. who was the main witness in this incident said that at that moment his frightened wife went inside and he decided to examine the strange sighting from afar.

It was about 9:20 pm when he began his observation of one of the strangest UFO landings I’ve ever heard of. Mr. R was observing the object standing near the barn on his lot. Although the UFO landed about 300 m away, it was clearly visible. The object was bloody red, spherical and about 5-6 m in diameter. Around the UFO there were at least 3 “small people” visible. It seemed that they stood on a sort of platform around the object and were bustling around. There were also three “shafts of light” 2-3 m long, protruding from the top of the sphere.

Mr. R. - a man of sharp mind and a very reliable observer stressed that the beings around the object must be very small, just around 0.6 m tall. He said that they looked like excited children and were “joyfully” moving around the object.

He was unfortunately too far away to recognize any features of the midget-like beings and Mr. R decided not to approach the scene any closer. But the most interesting aspect of the Gowarzow landing is the sound accompanying the landing. Mr. R. is sure that he could hear the “voices” of the beings. Their speech must have been very loud and intensive and resembled “excited talk” although he couldn’t recognize any details or words. After about 10 minutes the beings “disappeared” in some unknown way as well as the bright shafts of light. The ball - according to Mr. R. jumped up and down twice and then shot upwards disappearing in to the west.

On the next day Mr. R and his neighbor examined the place of the alleged landing. The object must have stood on or was hovering over a small field between a grove of trees and a small pond. The grove of trees is close to a barn of Mr.R.’s neighbor who unfortunately saw nothing strange on that day (the barn is obscuring the view from his house).

There were no traces left by the UFO or the beings.

Mr. R. tried to discuss the encounter with his neighbors but it seems that he and his wife were the only witnesses to the UFO landing in the field. Mrs. R. several days after the incident asked the local priest what the bloody red object could have been? The priest had no idea. Five years after the incident the landing site has changed dramatically. The pond had dried up and the shrubs had grown blocking the view on the landing site from Mr. R’s lot.

Mr. R is still puzzled by the incident and asked himself: “Why did the small people seem to be so happy?”

CHRONOVISOR, THE SECRET TIME MACHINE OF THE VATICAN(video)

The Vatican was accused of hiding many things. Now, it's being accused of hiding a time machine. The machine in question is called a "Chronovisor" and was built in the 1950s by a Benedictine monk named Father Pellegrino Ernetti.

DOES THE VATICAN HIDE A TIME MACHINE?

Father Marcello Pellegrino Maria Ernetti stated that he watched Christ dying on the cross, and attended a performance of a previously unknown play by the Roman playwright Quintus Ennius. It includes an appendix with the Latin text of the Ernetti Thyestes fragment, reputed to be an excerpt from a lost play by Quintus Ennius.

The alleged existence of the chronovisor has fueled a whole series of conspiracy theories,[who?] such as that the device was seized and is actually used by the Vatican or by those who secretly control governments and their economies all around the world.

Ernetti died in 1994 without revealing the secret of the Chronovisor but Chambers says evidence is mounting that the Catholic Church is hiding a working model from the rest of the world, supposedly to keep it from getting into evil hands.

Sound crazy? Maybe, but there may be something to it.

SECRET NAZI BASE FULL OF ANCIENT ARTIFACTS DISCOVERED IN THE ARCTIC

For many years, claims about secret Nazi military and research bases located in the harsh terrains of the Arctic and Antarctica were dismissed as fantasy. In fact, these claims were seen as so ridiculous that when a Russian expedition team from the Russian Arctic National Park claimed that they had discovered one of these bases on the island of Alexandra (approximately a thousand kilometers from the North Pole) they were largely ignored.

MYSTERY NAZI BASE DISCOVERED IN THE ARCTIC

However, there can no longer be any doubt that these secret bases really did exist as the Russian team who came across the base have released video evidence of over five hundred differently artifacts uncovered from the Nazi bunker. The ruins of the base itself as well as materials and paper documents can be seen to be fairly well preserved because of the intensely cold conditions that they were kept in.

The Russian team says that the base was referred to as ‘Treasure Hunter’ and it was built in 1942, just one year before the Nazis launched an assault in Russia. It is believed that the base was not used for a particularly long period and that it had to be evacuated of all personnel in 1944 after an illness broke out. It is believed that the disease was caused by personnel members eating contaminated polar bear meat. Mysteriously, in 1950 – several years after the end of the Second World War and the fall of the Third Reich, someone returned to the base and destroyed it. Who could have done this and why is still a complete mystery to investigators.

The team is not entirely sure what the purpose of this secret Arctic base could have been for the Nazis, but they have some avenues to pursue. It is known that the Nazis were particularly interested in archaeology which they often used to sustain their ideology of Aryan supremacy, so it is possible that they were looking for evidence of a lost Aryan civilization in the Arctic. More bizarrely, the Nazis were also interested in occult or holy items that they believed would grant them power – including the highly mythologised Holy Grail. Could it be that this is what they were seeking under the ice? Or could it be that they were looking for evidence of hidden ancient technologies in the Arctic region? All of these theories are plausible in light of the Nazis’ other wartime expedition activities.

For now, it all remains a mystery but the team, along with other experts have every intention of getting to the bottom of it.

(AMAZING VIDEO) UFO HUNTER CLAIMS EVIDENCE THAT A 3-CM TALL ALIEN 'SABOTAGED' NASA'S ROVER

An amazing video compiled of images released by NASA’s very own public access program appears to show a tiny creature of some kind lurking on the rim of the front left wheel of the Mars Curiosity Rover. This is the latest in multiple sightings of mysterious, minute creatures discovered on NASA’s image database of the Martian surface.

IS THE MARS CURIOSITY ROVER BEING SABOTAGED BY TINY ALIENS?

According to the prominent ufologist, Scott Waring, this particular image which was discovered by a YouTube user with the screenname Mars Alive this creature matches the description of another half a dozen unusual creatures spotted on the surface of Mars. He has estimated that it is approximately three centimeters in height and notes that it stands in a broadly similar way to how a human would stand. After analyzing the images, Waring concluded that for the creature to have accessed the wheel it must have crawled which strongly suggested that it was alive at the time that the image was taken.

Waring is one of many who believes that these tiny aliens can so often be spotted near the Mars Curiosity Rover because they are attempting to prevent their homes from being crushed by the NASA space vehicle. For them, this video is clear proof that the miniature creatures have now resorted to sabotage of the Rover in an attempt to protect their habitat from destruction. It has also been noted by some users of the service that the images containing the tiny aliens are darker than the standard photographs released by NASA of the Martian surface.

It has been claimed that this seems to be a trend and NASA have consistently made the quality of images poorer when their Rovers have captured photographs of particularly unusual phenomena such as these little aliens. However, NASA has responded with a complete denial of these charges.

Hovering triangle UFO caught on video

A Washington witness at Marysville reported watching and videotaping a hovering triangle UFO with three lights, according to testimony in Case 79072 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his wife were sitting in their backyard at 3:45 p.m. on September 10, 2016, when the incident occurred.

“As I sat, I just so happened to look up,” the witness stated.“The sky was blue and cloudless. As I looked up I saw what at first I thought might be a satellite, but quickly realized it had lights of changing color and movement.”

The witness then thought it might be an approaching plane with its lights on.

“All this time my wife was also observing the object. I have video of it. We observed this for almost 15 minutes, 10 of which the object did not move its position in the sky.”

Washington MUFON State Section Director Timothy Ward investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.

“I spoke to the witness and his wife,” Ward wrote in his final report.“They told me the same story. They saw an object with three bright, golden lights on a triangle object probably at a 60-degree angle from the horizon. Object comes in from the north and hovers for 10 minutes as they video recorded it. They have never seen anything like this in the day time. As they watched it hovering it moved off to the east.”

The investigator checked for ISS and satellites and none found in this area at the observation time.Chief Investigator Maryanne Snyder checked files and no video manipulation was found. There are eight cases in MUFON CMS of triangles in the last two months in Washington State.

“I am going to conclude this as a UAV because of the triangle shape, movement during daylight hours and witnesses’ credibility.”

Colorado witness says UFO about 2,000 off ground

A Colorado witness at Aurora reported watching a low flying triangle UFO with multiple lights, according to testimony in Case 79832 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

Witness sketch.

(Credit: MUFON)

The witness was outside in Babi Yar Park with four friends shooting a school video project at 11 a.m. on October 16, 2016, when the object was first observed.

“I looked up for some reason,” the witness stated.“I don’t know what caused me to, but when I did I saw an object. This object looked like a B-52 bomber, but it was dark and made no noise. The object had a leading edge of 10 lights with one in the center and four on the sides of the leading edge of the wings, and appeared to be black as if painted matte black.”

The witness first thought the object looked like a B-52 bomber. Pictured: Babi Yar Park.

The witness stated that the object was flying southwest about 2,000 feet off the ground.

“I’d say I couldn’t really tell due to clouds being in the sky and no reference points, but it was moving at around 300 mph. I asked my friends to look up and immediately three of the four saw the object. My other friend did not have his glasses with him, so he could not view the object, but did claim to see a blob in the sky flying.”

The object quickly moved away.

“After a period of 15 seconds after tracking since first seeing, the object made a shallow bank southward and disappeared into the night sky probably due to blending in with the night.”

Aurora is in Arapahoe and Adams counties, with the extreme southeastern portion of the city extending into Douglas County, population 325,078. Colorado Field Investigator Jeremy Ray 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.

Two UFOs Seen Passing Earths Moon, Military Formation, Space Wars? Oct 23, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: Oct 23, 2016
Location of sighting: Earths Moon

This video was recorded by Richard205Maria of Youtube, using their camera attached to a telescope. His editing software allows us to see its actual shape...a perfect saucer...two of them. There is no way these disks are satellites. First off, satellites wont be side by side for risk of crashing into on another and destroy each other. Second, we don't see any arms or solar panels to collect energy or transmit messages. Therefore, these are actual UFOs, flying in military style, because they are flying with a wingman, to keep each other out of possible trouble. These two...are prepared to fight, and that worries me. Please stop by Richard205Maria and give their video a thumbs up for support. Great work there.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

Here is an old video that I recorded last year and I'm coming back to take a closer look to those very strange objects. Thank you for watching and your time Rich

Carolina UFO Sighting

surf-city-ufo

Here one interesting video of a group of bright lights hovering above Surf City in North Carolina.

Witness report:

My wife and I were sitting out on our deck around 11PM on August 27, 2016. We noticed a group of orange, glowing orbs from the northeast about 10 feet above the house across the street. They floated slowly and silently towards our direction. We noticed them because we were seated facing north, so you couldn’t miss them unless you were asleep. We both observed these object with a skeptics eye at first, but it was unlike anything we had ever seen before. They made absolutely no noise. There was no frame to them (like a Chinese lantern). We saw them from the side and from directly underneath. I rushed into the house, grabbed my camera and told my daughter to come see these objects. I exited our deck into the front yard and started filming. There was 5 of them. They were hovering just above the power lines. The objects were in a line, one behind the other. As they reached our house they moved into a circular formation. They hovered above our house for about 20-30 seconds before going back into a linear formation and moving on towards the southwest. My wife then noticed that a sixth orb was hovering just 5 or so feet above our house as if it was curious of us. That’s when my dog started to bark at the object. It hovered over us for about 10 seconds before joining the other 5 orbs. As they all floated away in the distance, they seemed to just disappeared. There was no wind. There was no noise. They were always at least 15-40 feet away from us until they finally floated off and disappeared in the distance.

Watch this UFO destroying a chemtrail over Paris, France

ufo-chemtrail

This interesting daytime footage was recorded over Paris, France on 28th September 2016.

Witness report:

I caught an extraordinary UFO sighting. I was watching an odd looking light crossing the sky at variable speeds around my house, during the sunset. To me it was just some sort of helicopter, or maybe a drone. But after 5 or 10 minutes, I began suspecting the object not to be man-made. It was performing weird maneuvers, accelerating and decelerating randomly. When the light started to accelerate towards a huge Chemtrail, I took my camcorder and tried to find it in the distance.
The object stopped in front of the Chemtrail, and slowly destroyed it. Indeed, the trail was being “consumed” progressively. I was simply speechless. I still can’t believe what I caught. The Chemtrail got literally perforated! I can’t be 100% sure it’s due to the object itself, but I’m sure there’s a link between it and the Chemtrail. Such a huge trail can’t just disappear like that, for no reason! And only a small portion of the trail gets erased, justly around the object!
After the UFO attacked the trail, it moved backwards and flied West, in my opposite direction. It disappeared pretty quickly.
Sorry for zooming out a little bit too early, my camcorder screen is really small, and doesn’t have that much pixels… The object got so far away at the end, I simply thought it was not there anymore.
What was that object? Man-made prototype to delete Chemtrails? Some extra-terrestrial technology made to protect us? (maybe a bit far-fetched, but seriously, have you ever seen that before?) I just don’t have a clue of what this is.

UFO Sighting Revealed In Leaked U.S. Security Footage

ufo

Another footage has made the rounds online that may have confirmed a real UFO sighting. The video that has been leaked is said to belong to the Department of Homeland Security of the U.S.

The alleged leaked video shows a UFO ascending from the sea and splitting in half. The movements of the object are so strange to everybody. The mysterious object appears to be a metallic sphere. It moves quickly above and dives into the ocean, then seems to change shape or tumble.

The Scientific Coalition for Ufology (SCU) claimed that the video was from the DHS through a whistleblower. SCU website says the UFO has different features to any known object and its characteristics can’t be explained.

Since it made available online, several others came forward to claim they also saw the UFO.

SCU just released the video recently, but they noted that it was shot back in 2013. They explained that the released of the video had been delayed to confirm its authenticity first before publishing it for the public.

According to the report, the video was shot at an airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico on April 25, 2013, 9:20 p.m. The DHS crew of a DHC-8 Turboprop aircraft from Customs and Border Protection of the U.S. reportedly monitored the UFO activity.

According to the report, the crew of the DHC-8 plane noticed a strange, pinkish, red light over the ocean during its routine flight. Not informed of any incoming traffic, they radioed the presence of the UFO.

The tower crew responded that they also noticed the object but could not identify it.

SCU confirmed the flight was delayed due to the UFO sighting that night. Also revealed in the report is the video of the plane circling the airport two times before taking off.

The unknown object was allegedly flying from 40 mph to 120 mph at between 3 and 5 feet. The strangest part of the incident was that it went into the ocean about half a mile before darting back up and out of the ocean and appeared to split into two.

Chunk of Lightweight Metal Is Believed To Be An Old Proof That Alien Once Visited Earth

alien-metal

A mysterious piece of aluminum is being considered as 250,000-year-old evidence of alien existence on Earth. The old metal was discovered in communist Romania in 1973, but it wasn’t made public at the time.

After several examinations, the object is found to have made of 12 metals and 90 percent aluminum. Romanian officials concluded it is a 250,000 years old chunk of metal.

A laboratory in Lausanne, Switzerland later confirmed the initial results.

The large chunk is being hailed as an intriguing find because humanity wasn’t producing metallic aluminum until around 200 years ago.

In 1973, three objects measuring 33 feet or 10 meters was discovered under the ground on the shores of the Mures River. Archeologists identified two of the objects as fossils. The third one is a light metal and suspected to be the end of an ax.

All objects being discovered were sent to Cluj City in the region of Transylvania, Romania. Experts quickly determined the two as large bones of an extinct large mammal that died around 10,000 to 80,000 years ago. However, they were stunned to know that the third object was a piece of lightweight metal that seemed to have been manufactured.

The object in question is 7.8 inches or 20 centimeters long, 4.9 inches or 12.5 centimeters wide, and 2.8 inches or 7 centimeters thick.

Puzzled experts concluded that the piece of metal could be manufactured as part of a more complex mechanical system because it has concavities.

Now, the results have brought speculations of UFO and alien visitations in the past.

Deputy Director of the Romanian Ufologists Association, Gheorghe Cohal, believes that there’s a big chance that the third object is an old UFO fragment because it comprises with substances that could not be combined with technology on Earth.

Meanwhile, local historian Mihai Wittenberger believes the object is just a piece of a German aircraft during World War II, particularly from the landing gear of Messerschmitt ME 262.

However, this suggestion doesn’t explain the age of the lightweight metal.

The mysterious metal object is currently on display at the History Museum of Cluj-Napoca with a description saying “origin still unknown.”

UFO Sighting 2016: Fleet of UFOs spotted in Santiago’s Sky in Mysterious footage

By Dipannita

UFO Sighting 2016

In another alien and UFO related activity, a mysterious footage has come up on YouTube that shows a supposed fleet of flying saucers over Santiago's sky in Chile, South America.

Ever since the footage surfaced, people have begun to talk about the extraterrestrial activity as a fair number of viewers think that the sighting was nothing but UFOs.

The video which has been snapped over Santiago's sky appears to show four flying saucers, reports Daily Express. At first, the glowing lights seem to be floating in the distance, making a strange formation and then they spread out only to disappear completely in seconds. The pictures were taken on Thursday at 6 p.m. local time.

Later, they were sent by the photographer to the Mutual UFO Network aka MUFON- the biggest organization in the world dedicated to UFO research and study. According to the said photographer, he did not take the pictures with the intention of capturing UFOs and they were detected later after a review of the snapshots.

On the other hand, MUFON has said that it gets so many reports on a daily basis that it is unable to investigate every case. Nevertheless, it would not take much time for the body to figure out if they are UFOs or something else. As of now, some, including one forensic investigator of UFO pictures, said that they might also be reflections of light inside the building from where the photos were taken.

Meanwhile, the social media is divided in opinion about the video of the flying saucers, reports The Daily Mail. One viewer says that he initially thought that the flying objects were Chinese lanterns tied together but they were moving at a great speed. Another said that they seemed very real. Some said that the UFO claims were false as the lights were nothing but drones flying over the city.

It may be mentioned here that Chile has witnessed many UFO sightings and one of its cities, Andean town of San Clemente has become the hub of such activities and it is known as the country's capital for flying objects.

'Spiders' on Mars: Citizen Scientists Investigate Strange Martian Terrain

By Samantha Mathewson, Space.com Contributor

**"Spidery" channels spotted near Mars' south pole by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.**

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been surveying strange "spider-like" surface features on Mars for years, and now citizen scientists are helping the orbiter hone in on areas that require further investigation.

These prominent surface features are found near Mars' south pole, and are believed to be linked to seasonal changes. The planet's polar ice caps thaw bottom-side first in the spring, causing carbon dioxide to build up and carve deep channels in the terrain, according to a statement from NASA.

"The trapped carbon dioxide gas that carves the spiders in the ground also breaks through the thawing ice sheet. It lofts dust and dirt that local winds then sculpt into hundreds of thousands of dark fans that are observed from orbit," Meg Schwamb, a planetary scientist from the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii, said in the statement. "For the past decade, [the orbiter's instrument] HiRISE has been monitoring this process on other parts of the south pole." [Latest Photos from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter]]

Context Camera (CTX) aboard the MRO captured the images of these spider-like cracks and crevices, which volunteer citizen scientists have analyzed using the website "Planet Four: Terrains."

With the observations from this citizen science project, NASA has added 20 new regions to the agency's seasonal monitoring campaign on Mars. The orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera will explore these regions in greater detail.

"It's heartwarming to see so many citizens of planet Earth donate their time to help study Mars," Candice Hansen, HiRISE deputy principal investigator, said in the statement. "Thanks to the discovery power of so many people, we're using HiRISE to take images of places we might not have studied without this assistance."

The new places of interest on Mars include some unexpected spider terrain, areas where the surface is composed of material that was ejected from impact craters. Previously, those areas were not associated with carbon dioxide ice sheets, and therefore not thought to have spider-like crevices.

The spider cracks may have formed on the material ejected from craters using a different mechanism than the ice sheets, Hansen said. "Perhaps on surfaces that are more erodible, relative to other surfaces, slab ice would not need to be present as long, or [need to be] as thick, for spiders to form. We have new findings, and new questions to answer, thanks to all the help from volunteers," Hansen added.

Red Planet Express: 10 Ways Robots Move on Mars

By Hanneke Weitering, Staff Writer-Producer

INTRO: How to Move on Mars

Roving is currently the most common way that robots on Mars get from A to B, but it isn't necessarily the most practical. Here are 10 ways that robots can move around on Mars

Mars Helicopter

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

1. Mars Helicopter

This proposed robotic helicopter could triple the distances that Mars rovers could drive in a day and help pinpoint interesting targets for study, NASA researchers said. The low-flying scout helicopter would travel ahead of a rover to scope out the best driving routes. Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have been testing the design, but the agency has no concrete plans to take the helicopter to Mars — yet. Read more about the Mars Helicopter here.

2. Extreme Access

Engineers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center have invented an autonomous quadcopter, or drone, to fly on Mars. The machines are fast and flexible and can squeeze into places that other Mars robots cannot. They will be able to collect soil samples and return them to a mothership, which doubles as a charging station. Read more about the Mars drones here.

3. Entomopter

Insects inspired the design for this aircraft, called an Entomopter. Conventional types of helicopters and airplanes would have a hard time maneuvering through Mars' thin atmosphere, but the rapidly flapping wings on this aircraft design make flying on the Red Planet more practical. Other aircraft have to fly at over 250 mph (or 400 km/h) to remain airborne, which means that landing or taking off from the Martian surface are out of the question. But the Entomopter can fly slowly, land, take off and even crawl! It would be able to collect samples and return to a home base (like the rover pictured in the foreground) to recharge. A team led by Anthony Colozza at the Ohio Aerospace Institute in Cleveland received funding from NASA's Institute for Advanced Concepts in 2002 to develop this design for a Mars aircraft. Watch the Entomopter in action in this video.

4. LDSD, the 'Flying Saucer'

NASA's Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator project combines a balloon with a rocket to deliver huge payloads to the Martian surface — up to 15 tons. Mars Science Lab, the Curiosity rover, weighs only 1 ton and is currently the biggest spacecraft to land on Mars. LDSD could one day even deliver something as heavy as 100 tons or more, NASA officials said. The flying-saucer-shaped balloon will help slow down the landing in Mars' thin atmosphere.

5. Prandtl Glider

Student interns at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, helped to design this prototype of an engineless Mars glider called Prandtl-m. The design for this glider was inspired by boomerangs and birds and is based on a concept developed by German engineer Ludwig Prandtl around a century ago. This glider has no rudder and a slight twist in its wings, which helps to minimize air resistance and maximize efficiency. At Mars, it would be deployed high up in the atmosphere and collect data while floating down to the surface. NASA said it hopes to see one of its Prandtl gliders hitch a ride to Mars with the upcoming Mars 2020 rover mission. Read more about the Prandtl project here.

This proposed foldable Mars airplane concept is based on the design of a craft that flew on Earth in the 1970s. Three different versions of the Mini-Sniffer were developed by NASA to fly over Earth and test the upper atmosphere for pollution. Dale Reed, a researcher at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, earned a patent in 1977 for the proposed Mars airplane. But NASA's plans for the Mars Mini-Sniffer never got off the ground.

Rocket-powered airplanes could be the solution to the flying problems posed by Mars' thin atmosphere. This aircraft, called the Aerial Regional-scale Environmental Surveyor (ARES), could fly over mountains, craters and volcanoes on Mars — places that terrestrial robots often cannot reach. It was developed at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia. A prototype has already been built and tested, and now the ARES team said it hopes to send its aircraft to Mars via NASA's Mars Scout Program. Read more about ARES here.

8. Tumbleweed Rovers

One proposed way to travel on Mars is essentially a giant beach ball that rolls around in the wind. It wouldn't need any engines — just the wind. Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said that a payload of scientific instuments would be suspended inside the ball with tension cords. If scientists decide that one of these rovers needs to stop to take a measurement, the ball can be partially deflated to keep it from blowing away. NASA has already performed field tests with tumbleweed rover prototypes on Earth, but they have yet to be tested on Mars.

9. Roving with Wheels

So far the most popular type of robotic Mars explorer has been the rover. These types of Mars robots are somewhat comparable to vehicles that rove around on Earth, at roughly the size of a compact sedan. Several rovers have been sent to Mars, but only two are still functioning today: NASA's Curiosity (Mars Science Laboratory) and Opportunity. Another NASA rover, named Spirit — Opportunity's twin — went silent in 2010 after one of its wheels became trapped in the Martian sand.

Though the remote-controlled rovers may be the most intuitive form of robot for humans to build and operate, they do have some drawbacks. Aside from the risk of getting stuck like Spirit did, rovers can't drive very fast on Mars. Curiosity creeps along at about 2 inches (5 centimeters) per second, or 0.11 mph (0.18 km/h). Some areas of Mars are inaccessible to rovers, like steep mountains ridges or craters. [Infographic: Mars Explored: Landers and Rovers Since 1971]

10. Hopping Bots

Someday, Mars robots could get around on the Red Planet by hopping from place to place. These vehicles would use gas from the Martian atmosphere to propel their rockets and leap around. Researchers in England have proposed a hopping robot that uses radioactive isotopes as an initial power supply to squeeze gas into thrusters and heat it up before the propulsion system can begin powering the hopping. A hopper like this could fly in 0.6-mile (1 kilometer) hops at least, the researchers said. Read more about the hopping robots here.

Red Spider Nebula Haunts Deep Space in Hubble Photo

By Christine Lunsford, Space.com Contributor

The Red Spider Nebula welcomes Halloween with its eerie lobes and ghostly shine.

Large ripples constitute the expansive lobes of the Red Spider Nebula. The two lobes of the nebula represent a typical expression at the end of a star's life, with material from the star gushing into space at high speeds. [Haunting Photos: The Spookiest Nebulas in Space]

The nebula, thousands of light years from Earth in the constellation of Sagittarius, contains one of the hottest known stars which creates waves 100 billion kilometers (62.4 billion miles) high with its powerful cosmic winds. The speed of the waves arise from supersonic shocks forming from local gas compression, heating and rapid expansion in the lobes. Atoms trapped in the the shock create the dazzling radiation seen here.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured using the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WPFC2) in September pf 1997. The WPFC2 uses five different filters and light from the different elements are colored differently — sulfur ions in red, nitrogen ions in orange, ionized hydrogen in green, atomic oxygen in light blue and ionized oxygen in dark blue.

Hubble has been returning images of the deep recesses of our Universe to us since April of 1990. After being repaired and upgraded with five separate Space Shuttle missions, with the last in 2009. While Hubble could operate into the 2030s, its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is scheduled to launch in 2018.

UFO Rods Seen Moving Past Volcano Live Cam On Oct 24, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Moving Past Volcano Live Cam On Oct 24, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: October 24, 2016
Location of sighting: Popocatepetl, Mexico

Here is a great example of rods. They were caught yesterday on a live volcano cam. There rods following each other side by side. Also in the distance a unknown craft moves closer to the volcano, but the video ends so we could not see if it emerges or not from the other side. Its rare to catch one, but to see three fly side by side. Wow, very exciting video.

Ster met recordbrekend oude stofschijf ontdekt

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Normaal gesproken gaat zo’n stofschijf hooguit zo’n 30 miljoen jaar mee, maar deze schijf is al 45 miljoen jaar oud!

We zien het vaak rond jonge sterren: een gas- en stofschijf. Materiaal in de schijf botst op elkaar en klontert samen en kan zo planeten vormen.

Oud
Astronomen hebben nu – met behulp van het publiek – een rode dwerg ontdekt die ook zo’n stof- en gasschijf bezit. Maar wat deze rode dwerg zo bijzonder maakt, is dat deze zijn stofschijf zo lang heeft weten vast te houden. “Dit soort schijven verdwijnen meestal binnen 30 miljoen jaar,” vertelt onderzoeker Steven Silverberg. Maar er zijn sterke aanwijzingen dat deze ster – en dus ook de schijf eromheen – al veel ouder is: zo’n 45 miljoen jaar.

WIST JE DAT…

…er sinds kort ook rond rode dwergen naar signalen van buitenaards leven wordt gezocht?

Leeftijd
Het vaststellen van de leeftijd van een ster is doorgaans vrij lastig. Maar deze rode dwerg lijkt tot een groep sterren te behoren die allemaal ongeveer even oud zijn. En dat maakte het vaststellen van de leeftijd van de ster een stuk gemakkelijker. “Meer observaties zijn nodig om te bepalen of de ster werkelijk zo oud is als we denken,” vertelt onderzoeker Jonathan Gagné.

Planeten
Grote vraag is natuurlijk of er in de stofschijf rond de oude ster ook daadwerkelijk planeten aan het ontstaan zijn. Het zou zeker kunnen. De meeste exoplaneten die tot op heden zijn aangetroffen zijn voortgekomen uit een schijf zoals we die nu rond deze rode dwerg zien. Daar komt nog eens bij dat deze ster qua type vergelijkbaar is met de ster die het dichts bij de aarde staat – Proxima Centauri – en waarvan onlangs werd aangetoond dat deze eveneens een planeet bezit.

De ontdekking van deze ster en stofschijf vloeit voort uit het Disk Detective-project. Dit project is gericht op de ontdekking van nieuwe stof- en gasschijven rond jonge sterren en put uit gegevens verzameld door onder meer de Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Nu is het natuurlijk onbegonnen werk voor een handvol onderzoekers om al die gegevens door te spitten en dus deden ze een beroep op het publiek. Met succes, want sinds januari 2014 zijn al zo’n 30.000 mensen in de gegevens gedoken. “Zonder hun hulp zouden we dit object nooit gevonden hebben,” stelt onderzoeker Marc Kuchner. “De WISE-missie alleen al spotte 747 miljoen objecten, waarvan enkele duizenden naar verwachting een stofschijf bezitten.”

'Alien probeert Marsrover Curiosity te saboteren'

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Sommigen weten het zeker: nieuwe beelden van Curiosity onthullen dat het leven op Mars helemaal klaar is met onze aanwezigheid daar.

Op internet is een opmerkelijk filmpje opgedoken dat diep inzoomt op één van de foto’s die Marsrover Curosity onlangs heeft gemaakt. De focus ligt daarbij op het wiel van Curosity. En daar is – na langdurig inzoomen – iets geks te zien. “Een klein wezentje in het wiel van Curiosity,” zo schrijft de maker van het filmpje op YouTube. En dat wezentje kijkt – SMILE! – toevallig recht in de camera van Curiosity.

Doofpot
Een geweldige ontdekking, zou je denken. Waarom heeft NASA deze dan niet van de daken geschreeuwd? Simpel, zo weet de maker van het filmpje. NASA wil ook dit weer in de doofpot stoppen. “NASA heeft vele tactieken voor het in de doofpot stoppen van anomalieën op Mars, zo hebben ze deze foto bijvoorbeeld donkerder gemaakt dan hun foto’s doorgaans zijn en wanneer ze dat doen, weet ik gewoon dat ze iets proberen te verbergen.” In dit geval dus een drie centimeter hoge alien die probeert om het wiel van Curiosity te saboteren.

Brein
Een beetje vergezocht? De maker van het filmpje kan er weinig aan doen. Zo werkt zijn brein nu eenmaal. Wij mensen zijn geneigd om zelfs in heel onduidelijke beelden iets van betekenis te zien. En dan natuurlijk het liefst ook iets wat aan onze eigen verwachtingen voldoet of deze overtreft. Dus: stel je gelooft heilig in buitenaards leven en bent ervan overtuigd dat NASA het woord ‘doofpotaffaire’ heeft uitgevonden, dan gaan de beelden van Mars als je er maar lang genoeg op inzoomt je gedachten uiteindelijk vanzelf bevestigen. Dankjewel, hersenen!

Geen drie centimeter hoge aliens op Mars dan? Naahh, waarschijnlijk niet. Maar zeg nooit nooit.

Nieuw onderzoek trekt versnelde uitdijing van universum in twijfel

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Het bewijs voor de versnelde uitdijing – dat drie astronomen in 2011 de Nobelprijs opleverde – is bij nader inzien toch niet zo overtuigend.

Aan het eind van de jaren negentig kwamen drie astronomen tot de conclusie dat het universum versneld uitdijde. Ze baseerden zich op een analyse van supernova’s van type Ia en mochten jaren later – in 2011 – een Nobelprijs in ontvangst nemen voor hun ontdekking. De wetenschappelijke wereld heeft de uitdijing van het universum inmiddels omarmd en zelfs een mysterieuze substantie in het leven geroepen die de drijvende kracht zou zijn achter de versnelde uitdijing: donkere energie.

Dunnetjes
Maar misschien moeten we nog eens goed nadenken over de versnelde uitdijing, zo suggereren onderzoekers van de universiteit van Oxford in het blad Scientific Reports. Het bewijs ervoor is – bij nader inzien – namelijk wat dunnetjes.

3 sigma
De onderzoekers trekken die conclusie nadat ze 740 supernova’s van type Ia bestudeerden. Dat zijn er ongeveer tien keer meer dan de Nobelprijswinnende astronomen in de jaren negentig van de vorige eeuw analyseerden. “En we ontdekten dat het bewijs voor versnelde uitdijing hooguit een 3 sigma is, zoals natuurkundigen dat zeggen,” zo vertelt onderzoeker Subir Sarkar. “Dat is veel minder dan de “5 sigma-standaard” die nodig is om een ontdekking van fundamentele betekenis te claimen.”

Over sigma
Sigma vertelt iets over hoe zeker wetenschappers van hun zaak zijn. Wanneer ze spreken over 5 sigma dan is de kans dat hun gegevens op toeval berusten één op 3 miljoen. Hebben ze het over 3 sigma dan is de kans dat hun gegevens op toeval berusten 1 op 1000. “Een vergelijkbaar voorbeeld is de recente suggestie dat er met behulp van de Large Hadron Collider een nieuw deeltje ontdekt was met een massa van 750 GeV,” legt Sarkar uit. “In eerste instantie had het een 3.9 en 3.4 sigma-meting in december. Maar nieuwe gegevens lieten in augustus zien dat de significantie gedaald was naar minder dan 1 sigma. Het was gewoon een statistische fluctuatie en het deeltje bestaat niet.”

Constante uitdijing
En ook over de versnelde uitdijing van het universum zijn de onderzoekers dus nu iets minder zeker. Sterker nog: het nieuwe onderzoek wijst erop dat het universum heel constant uitdijt. Het zou goed kunnen verklaren waarom we maar geen grip kunnen krijgen op de aard van donkere energie – de hypothetische drijvende kracht achter de uitdijing – want als het universum niet uitdijt, is er ook geen donkere energie.

Kosmische achtergrondstraling
Maar hoe zit het dan met al die andere gegevens die het idee van een sneller uitdijend universum onderschrijven? Je moet dan bijvoorbeeld denken aan de kosmische achtergrondstraling. “De kosmische achtergrondstraling wordt niet direct beïnvloed door donkere energie,” merkt Sarkar fijntjes op. Hij wijst er tevens op dat veel vervolgonderzoek uitgevoerd is met de gedachten dat het universum versneld uitdijt en dat donker energie daar achter zit, in het achterhoofd.

“Natuurlijk moet er nog veel meer werk verzet worden om de natuurkundige wereld hiervan te overtuigen, maar ons werk laat zien dat een belangrijke pijler van het standaardmodel van de kosmologie vrij wankel is. Hopelijk leidt het tot betere analyses van kosmologische data en inspireert het theoretici om genuanceerdere kosmologische modellen te bestuderen.”

De noordpool van Saturnus verandert van kleur

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Foto’s van ruimtesonde Cassini onthullen dat ook Saturnus met de wisseling van de seizoenen een nieuwe trendkleur kiest.

De blauwige, sombere gloed die in 2012 nog over de noordpool van de gasreus hing, heeft plaatsgemaakt voor een gouden gloed. Dat blijkt uit beelden van ruimtesonde Cassini.

Afbeelding: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute / Hampton University.

Seizoenen
Wetenschappers zoeken momenteel uit waarom de noordpool van kleur verandert, maar aangenomen wordt dat het alles te maken heeft met de wisseling van de seizoenen. Het zou met name samenhangen met fotochemische reacties – reacties waarbij de atmosfeer en zonlicht een rol spelen. Nu de noordpool het hoogtepunt van de zomer nadert, ontstaan er steeds meer fotochemische nevels in de atmosfeer boven de noordpool.

Nevels
Als je goed kijkt, zie je dat op de noordpool een zeshoek pronkt. Dit is een straalstroom. Aangenomen wordt dat deze voorkomt dat deeltjes die buiten de zeshoek geproduceerd worden, de zeshoek binnendringen. Tijdens de zeven jaar durende winter op Saturnus namen de aerosolen die door fotochemische reacties ontstaan, af. Sinds augustus 2009 baadt de atmosfeer boven de noordpool continu in zonlicht en worden er ook in de zeshoek weer aerosolen geproduceerd, waardoor de noordpool van de gasreus vandaag de dag weer rijk is aan nevels.

Naast fotochemische reacties zijn er waarschijnlijk nog wel meer factoren die een rol spelen in de transformatie van de noordpool van Saturnus. Zo denken onderzoekers dat ook de winden in de poolgebieden onder invloed van zonnewarmte veranderen.

Saturn’s Hexagonal Storm Mysteriously Changes From Blue to Gold

True colour photo taken on 26 June 2013.

IN BRIEF

Astronomers have noted a change in the color scheme of Saturn's hexagonal storm from a bluish color to a more golden hue.
NASA experts assert this may be due to the increased production of photochemical hazes in the atmosphere as the north pole approaches summer solstice in May 2017.

A WHIRLWIND OF COLORS

The mysterious hexagon on Saturn’s north pole has just changed colors, as shown in recently released photos taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. Discovered roughly 30 years ago, the geometric figure on Saturn’s northernmost area is actually a storm, which has been raging for decades, or even centuries.

The six-sided figure spans about 32,000 km (20,000 miles) in diameter, and extends for 100 km (60 miles) into the gas giant’s atmosphere. Each point in the hexagon rotates at its center at almost the same rate Saturn rotates on its axis. The perpetual hurricane in middle of the hexagon is constantly blasted by a jet stream of air at 321 km/h (200 mph).

Baffled scientists can only point to one probable explanation. According to NASA,

“The color change is thought to be an effect of Saturn’s seasons. In particular, the change from a bluish color to a more golden hue may be due to the increased production of photochemical hazes in the atmosphere as the north pole approaches summer solstice in May 2017.”

MYSTERIOUS LIKE MOST

Researchers believe the hexagon’s sides act like barriers, preventing haze particles from outside to enter. This likely explains why the hexagon turned blue sometime between November 1995 and August 2009, during a polar winter night. Presumably, while it was devoid of sunlight, Saturn’s north pole became clear of aerosols produced by photochemical reactions.

After Saturn’s equinox in August 2009, the planet’s polar atmospheres have been bathed in sunlight. Photochemical reactions in the atmosphere were triggered, producing aerosols that make the north pole’s hexagon hurricane hazy and appear golden in the recent Cassini photo.

It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that we don’t understand much of what’s going on in our giant gas neighbor. The mysteries of space continually baffle us, until technological advancescatch up and explain the previously unexplainable.

At that point, we’ll no longer be amazed. We’ll be mesmerized.

Here's more of the false colour hexagon:

IN BRIEF

NASA donated a humanoid robot to MIT’s CSAIL to give students the opportunity to develop algorithms that could be used as part of NASA’s Space Robotics Challenge.
The challenge, which aims to create robots that could assist, or even potentially replace, human astronauts on extreme space missions, offers a $1,000,000 prize.

The DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) sought to inspire the creation of robots that could perform human tasks; in that case, for the sake of disaster relief.

ONE SMALL STEP FOR A (SORT OF) MAN

By the time a human is finally ready to set foot on Mars, he or she could have a team of autonomous humanoid robots walking beside them.

Last November, NASA donated a humanoid robot, Robonaut 5 (R5), to MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). They wanted to give students the opportunity to test the robot and develop algorithms for it that they could then use as part of NASA’s upcomingSpace Robotics Challenge. The challenge aims to create “dexterous autonomous robots” that could assist, or even potentially replace, human astronauts on “extreme space” missions.

“Precise and dexterous robotics, able to work with a communications delay, could be used in spaceflight and ground missions to Mars and elsewhere for hazardous and complicated tasks, which will be crucial to support our astronauts,” said Monsi Roman, program manager of NASA’s Centennial Challenges, in a press release. “NASA and our partners are confident the public will rise to this challenge and are excited to see what innovative technologies will be produced.”

ROBOTS. IN. SPACE.

Artificially intelligent robots capable of assisting human astronauts could become invaluable as we continue to push the boundaries of space exploration. Unlike current robots that must be controlled by human operators, autonomous humanoid robots would be able to work independently. They could be sent on missions prior to human astronauts deploying, remain behind to look after equipment, and generally free up crew members to do more complex and less dangerous work.

While expanding humankind’s knowledge of space is a reward in and of itself, the million dollar prize for the team that wins NASA’s Space Robotics Challenge is great additional motivation for MIT’s team to make sure its bot comes out on top.

Creationist Ken Ham Says There Are No Intelligent Aliens... Because Aliens Can’t Possibly Exist

Poor E.T.

Ed Mazza Overnight Editor

**An alien discovers that he isn’t real (simulation).**

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a huge waste of time, according to creationist Ken Ham.

Ham, who runs creationist attractions in Kentucky including a supposed replica of Noah’s Ark complete with replica dinosaurs, claims that aliens can’t possibly be intelligent... because they can’t possibly exist.

Writing on his “Answers in Genesis” blog, Ham attempted to respond to Scottish astronomer Duncan Forgan, who has been running computer simulations about the possibility of alien civilizations.

Forgan lamented in a Fox News interview the difficulty of testing some theories in his simulation because of the lack of data on alien behavior.

Ham predicted that problem would never be solved.

“Real alien data will never exist because, well, aliens aren’t real!” he wrote.

While there is no evidence yet for extraterrestrial life, a number of NASA scientists have said they expect to find it in the coming decades.

“I think in the next 20 years we will find out we are not alone in the universe,” NASA astronomer Kevin Hand said in a 2014 discussion.

Hand’s boss agreed.

“It’s highly improbable in the limitless vastness of the universe that we humans stand alone,” NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said.

However, Ham wrote in his Sunday blog post that people searching for alien life are really looking for replacements for God.

“Only a life pursuing our Creator will give us the answers and purpose we seek,” he wrote.

Ham, who once debated “Science Guy” Bill Nye, wrote in 2014 that aliens ― if they did exist ― would be beyond salvation because they are not descendants of the biblical figure Adam.

“Jesus did not become the ‘GodKlingon’ or the ‘GodMartian’!” he wrote at the time. “Only descendants of Adam can be saved. God’s Son remains the ‘Godman’ as our Savior.”

What Is a Planet?

By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor

While many people can point to a picture of Jupiter or Saturn and call it a "planet," the definition of this word is much more subtle and has changed over time. Many astronomers decided on a new definition in 2006 after the discovery of several worlds at the fringes of the solar system — a decision that remains controversial.

The International Astronomical Union defined a planet as an object that:

orbits the sun
has sufficient mass to be round, or nearly round
is not a satellite (moon) of another object
has removed debris and small objects from the area around its orbit

The IAU also created a new classification, "dwarf planet," which is an object that meets planetary criteria except that it has not cleared debris from its orbital neighborhood. This definition meant that Pluto — considered a planet at the time — was demoted and reclassified as a dwarf planet. But not all scientists agree with this classification.

Planetary history

The term "planet" originally comes from the Greek word for "wanderer." Many ancient cultures observed these "moving stars," but it wasn't until the advent of the telescope in the 1600s that astronomers were able to look at them in more detail. Small telescopes revealed moons circling Jupiter — a big surprise to Galileo Galilei (the likely discoverer) and his opponents at the Catholic Church — as well as rings around Saturn and an ice cap on Mars.

Telescopes also revealed the existence of objects not known to the ancients, because they are too far away and small to be spotted with the naked eye. Uranus was found on March 13, 1781, by the prolific astronomer William Herschel. Ceres was discovered between Mars and Jupiter in 1801. It was originally classified as a planet, but it was later realized that Ceres was the first of a class of objects eventually called asteroids. Neptune was discovered in 1846. [Related: Solar System Planets: Order of the 8 (or 9) Planets]

Astronomers continued scouring the solar system's outer reaches in search of a large "Planet X" that was believed to be disturbing the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. While these irregularities were later discounted by further observations, Clyde Tombaugh did spot a smaller object in 1930 beyond the orbit of Neptune. Called Pluto, the object (then called a planet) was relatively small and had a highly eccentric orbit that sometimes even brought it closer to the sun than Neptune is.

Discovery of more worlds

Nothing close to Pluto's size was found in the solar system for more than two generations. That changed in the 2000s, when Mike Brown — a young astronomer at the California Institute of Technology — was in search of a defining research project and decided upon searches for objects in the outer solar system.

In quick succession, Brown and his team discovered several large "trans-Neptunian objects," or icy bodies beyond Neptune's orbit. While discovering icy objects that far away was not unexpected — the supposed Oort Cloud, the birthplace of comets, should have trillions of these things — it was the size that made other astronomers pay attention.

Some of Brown's notable discoveries included Quaoar; Sedna; Haumea; Erisand its moon, Dysnomia; and Makemake. All were found in a relatively short period of time, between 2001 and 2005. Eris (which was originally nicknamed "Xena" after a popular television show of the time) was large enough that some in the media were calling it the 10th planet.

With this series of discoveries confronting them, the International Astronomical Union spent two years examining the evidence and called a general meeting in 2006 to vote on what the definition of what a planet would be. The delegates present voted on a definition that excluded Pluto, Eris and any other objects that were close to the same size.

The new designation "dwarf planet" is considered to be an object orbiting the sun that is round, or approximately round, but is smaller than Mercury. The object may also be in an area with several other objects orbiting with it, such as within the asteroid belt. The IAU has only accepted five objects as dwarf planet so far: Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Makemake and Haumea. But there are many other candidate objects discovered by Brown and other astronomers in the years since.

Brown agreed with the demotion of "Xena" (which Eris was still called at the time) to dwarf planet, although he acknowledged other people felt emotional about the loss of Pluto. "I understood. Pluto was part of their mental landscape, the one they had constructed to organize their thinking about the solar system and their own place within it. Pluto seemed like the edge of existence. Ripping Pluto out of that landscape caused what felt to be an inconceivably empty hole," he wrote in his memoir, "How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming."

Years after the vote, however, there are still scientists that refer to Pluto as a planet. For example, NASA published a video in early 2014 from several speakers at the Pluto Science Conference in July 2013 who repeatedly referred to the world as a "planet". Also, people such as NASA's Alan Stern regularly present their arguments for why Pluto should still be considered a planet, citing problems with the IAU definition such as planets never fully clearing the zone around them.

A more recent discovery beyond Pluto's orbit — 2012 VP113, nicknamed "Biden," announced in early 2014 — shows that the zone between Pluto and the Oort Cloud could be populated with more objects like Sedna. The solar system is a more complex place than imagined even a couple of decades ago.

Bored of Living on Earth? Try Asgardia, the First “Space Nation”

By: Nidhi Goyal

A team from the Aerospace International Research Center (AIRC) has announced the plan to send up a satellite in 2017 and build a new country called Asgardia, named after a city in Norse mythology.

This project aims at creating a protective shield for humankind by defending the Earth from asteroids, dangerous meteorites, space debris, and other threats.

Their core concept is to set up an everlasting space station where people can live, work, and have their own rules and regulations. Asgardia will operate as its own country, independent of any Earthly nation state.

Project leader Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli, said, “It is the realization of man’s eternal dream to leave his cradle on Earth and expand into the Universe. Asgardia’s philosophical envelope is to ‘digitalize’ the Noosphere, creating a mirror of humanity in space but without Earthly division into states, religions, and nations. In Asgardia we are all just Earthlings!”

Asgardia would be an independent nation, and a future member of the U.N. People who are interested in becoming the first citizens of this space nation can apply on the Asgardia website

Professor Ram Jakhu, director of the Institute of Air and Space Law, explained, “The (Asgardia) vision is very, very clear. This nation will do things to help protect the Earth and, secondly, it will be for exclusively peaceful purposes and also allowing access to developing countries that don’t have that (space access). So, if that is done, recognition will not be a major problem. If these four elements (territory, people, government, and recognition) are achieved it will become a state and can apply for its membership in the United Nations.”

Wetenschappers: Vreemde boodschappen uit de ruimte zijn waarschijnlijk afkomstig van buitenaards leven

Twee astronomen van de Laval-universiteit in Canada hebben bij 234 sterren dusdanig vreemde boodschappen opgevangen dat ze vermoeden dat het gaat om buitenaards leven. Dat schrijft de Britse krant The Independent.

Ermanno Borra en Eric Trottier ontdekten tijdens een onderzoek naar de sterrenhemel dat een aantal sterren vreemd gedrag vertoonde.

Het tweetal heeft geen verklaring voor dit gedrag en concludeert dat het wel eens zou kunnen gaan om buitenaardse wezens die ons op de hoogte willen brengen van hun bestaan.

Voorspeld

“We hebben ontdekt dat de signalen precies de vorm hebben van een buitenaards signaal dat in een eerdere publicatie voorspeld werd en ze liggen dan ook in lijn met deze hypothese,” zeggen de sterrenkundigen.

“Het feit dat ze alleen gevonden zijn bij een kleine fractie van de sterren in een nauw spectrum vlak bij de zon, komt ook overeen met de hypothese van buitenaards leven,” voegden ze toe.

Bevestigen

De wetenschappers benadrukken dat verder onderzoek nodig is om te kunnen bevestigen of het al dan niet gaat om buitenaardse boodschappen.

Het onderzoek verschijnt binnenkort in het blad Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific en is getiteld ‘Signals probably from Extraterrestrial Intelligence’.

Vliegende spinnen of schotels? Het mysterie rond engelenhaar

In 1999 kreeg het Australian UFO Registry een telefoontje van ene Peter, die ‘een hele berg witte slierten’ in de lucht zag zweven. De draden bedekten bomen, elektriciteitslijnen en weilanden.

Toen Peter wat van het materiaal wilde verzamelen, ontdekte hij dat het geen katoen of spinrag was. Het bleek te gaan om ‘engelenhaar’.

In 1969 liet de Amerikaanse luchtmacht onderzoek doen naar het vermeende verband tussen engelenhaar en UFO’s. Volgens de onderzoekers ‘valt het materiaal in grote hoeveelheden uit de lucht, is het instabiel en valt het snel uit elkaar’.

Onzeker

Het Condon Report concludeerde dat de samenstelling of herkomst van het engelenhaar in een aantal gevallen onzeker is.

In het geval van Peter kon het mysterie al snel worden opgelost. Enkele dagen later meldde een lokale krant dat de auto van een entomoloog bedekt was met honderden babyspinnen. Hij legde uit dat de witte draden het gevolg waren van spinnen die door de lucht vlogen.

Volgens ufologen en complot-experts hebben de draden een buitenaardse oorsprong. In 1561 zou in Neurenberg engelenhaar uit de lucht zijn gevallen. Vaak wordt het waargenomen na een UFO-melding.

Buitenaardsen

UFO-onderzoeker en piloot Brian Boldman deed in 2001 uitgebreid onderzoek naar engelenhaar. Hij bestudeerde 225 gevallen van engelenhaar tussen 679 na Christus en 2001.

Boldman kwam tot de dat de slierten in sommige gevallen kunnen worden toegeschreven aan spinnen, maar dat andere gelinkt kunnen worden aan buitenaardse activiteit.

De piloot stelde dat in 75 procent van de gevallen ook een UFO-melding was gedaan. Volgens hem is er sprake van een sterke link tussen beide fenomenen.

Chemtrail

Er zijn ook ufologen die zeggen dat engelenhaar geïoniseerde lucht is, voortgebracht door een elektromagnetisch veld van een UFO.

Omdat de draadachtige slierten snel verdwijnen is het moeilijk om ze te onderzoeken. Voor sommigen is engelenhaar bewijs voor chemtrails. Uit tests is namelijk gebleken dat ze soms metalen bevatten.

Group of orange UFOs Move over Surf City, North Carolina On Aug 27, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

The UFOs in this video attempts to move into formation as they first make a triangle and then a rectangle. This denotes intelligence. Had they been Chinese lanterns, they would be flying one by one in a long line in the sky. I don't see that here. Also Chinese lanterns die in 2-4 minutes. The fact the eyewitness says they stopped above his home for 20+ seconds shows that these were intelligently controlled craft.

Eyewitness states:

My wife and I were sitting out on our deck around 11PM on August 27, 2016. We noticed a group of orange, glowing orbs from the northeast about 10 feet above the house across the street. They floated slowly and silently towards our direction. We noticed them because we were seated facing north, so you couldn't miss them unless you were asleep. We both observed these object with a skeptics eye at first, but it was unlike anything we had ever seen before. They made absolutely no noise. There was no frame to them (like a Chinese lantern). We saw them from the side and from directly underneath. I rushed into the house, grabbed my camera and told my daughter to come see these objects. I exited our deck into the front yard and started filming. There was 5 of tt a sixth orb was hovering just 5 or so feet above our house as if it was curious of us. That's when my dog started to bark at the object. It hovered over us for about 10 seconds before joining the other 5 orbs. As they all floated away in the distance, they seemed to just disappeared. There was no wind. There was no noise. They were always at least 15-40 feet away from us until they finally floated off and disappeared in the distancehem. They were hovering just above the power lines. The objects were in a line, one behind the other. As they reached our house they moved into a circular formation. They hovered above our house for about 20-30 seconds before going back into a linear formation and moving on towards the southwest. My wife then noticed tha.

These types of UFOs will mimic stars in the sky at night, but then after 10-30 minutes, they will move away. Thats what happened here, and they have been observed over all countries around the world, but usually not this early in the day.

This particular orb seems to have been there to look at the contrail pollution, the jet trail is seen at the end of the video. We assume Earth has always been ours, but it may belong to a much older species and they may be constantly gathering data to assess the damage that humanity causes.

Eyewitness states:

Wife and I were out back sitting in our yard. As I sat I just so happened to look up. The sky was blue and cloudless. As I looked up I saw what at first I thought might be a satelite but quickly realized it had lights of changing color and movement. I then thought it might be an approaching plane with its lights on. All this time my wife was also observing the object. I have video of it. We observed this for almost 15 minutes 10 of which the object did not move it's position in the sky...

EXCLUSIVE: British Area 51? Claims secret ALIEN research base uncovered in Farnborough

PARANORMAL investigators claim to have rumbled a top-secret Ministry of Defence (MoD) alien research centre hidden deep underground in a UFO hotspot.

The British Earth and Aerial Mysteries Society (BEAMS) has released a bizarre 109-page report, following a “special investigation” into the former MoD Defence Evaluation and Research Agency site now run by specialist defence, security and aerospace developer Qinetiq.BEAMS claims Farnborough has had high UFO sighting and alien abduction activity for years and thinks this might be connected to the alleged secret base. The group is convinced there is as much underground as above and what goes on there involves aliens, UFOs, intergalactic defence and futuristic flight development.

Their bizarre theory is based upon cryptic alien symbols they have “discovered” within the site, alleged intelligence service whistleblower testimonies, and the responses from psychic researchers, the report claims.

The BEAMS website says it was set up in 1991 as as a non profit-making studies group into the paranormal.

It said: “We have set up a network of active investigators who relay their gathered information through to our HQ.

“As reporters of the truth, duties of the BEAMS Team include research, interviewing, photography and journalism.”

Report co-author Hilary Porter claims to have been abducted by aliens a number of time

Two of its key researchers, chairman Kenneth Parsons and his “alien abductee” partner Hilary Porter, carried out the “inquiry” and said evidence of the underground areas came from government whistleblowers.But they said the smoking gun evidence for the secret base were cryptic signs in the building and on site.The couple concluded that part of the site’s road system has been made to look like an alien being depicted in ancient Aboriginal paintings in Australia, as a sign of the base’s significance.

On top of this they said part of the building has been made to look like a flying saucer.

The report said: “As with the top-secret Area 51 in Nevada, and how that officially did “not exist” for decades…if what we are about to expose ‘does not exist’ either (as it is bound to be claimed), then our Government/military have absolutely nothing to fear from us talking about it – do they?”

The pair claimed the Qinetiq site was the biggest of three secret underground facilities, also in the UK, including two other suspected ones.

Their report said Government whistleblowers had revealed: “Officers at Chicksands regularly simulated possible outcomes of nuclear war with their counterparts operating from an underground command centre beneath Qinetiq in Farnborough.“One source (who holds a sensitive government post) says that he knows several people currently employed at British underground facilities where acquired alien technology and genetics programmes are being carried out.”The couple said the Cody technology park was also under tight security with armed guards and secret cameras.

But the clincher, in their opinion, was the roundabout system near the main building.

Referring to an aerial slide of the roadways on site, which highlighted this roundabout, the report said: “We suggest that this is a stylised, diagrammatic representation of a grey/reptilian figure – just like the Aboriginal supreme creator paintings attempted to portray – which is only visible like this from the air.”

Posing the question “why was it there?”, the report said: “Why incorporate a massive image of an alien, or supreme creator within a top secret subterranean military site – somewhere so sensitive that it is virtually our own British equivalent of the Area 51 complex in Nevada.”

They surmised that the powers behind the site were confident the public would never see through their cryptic code, but “those” who needed to would recognise it instantly.

Besides, if the roundabout did not do the trick, there was more.

The couple concluded the roof and canopy of the main building had purposely been designed in the shape of a flying saucer just to hammer home the purpose of the secret base to those in the know.

They said the existence of the “underground” parts of the site described by “sources” were further proved by Qinetiq’s involvement in mining coupled with a strange rumbling noise they allegedly heard a cross Farnborough over the last 15 years, which they deduced was it being secretly expanded.

Three so-called psychic remote viewers given the name of the site, but no more details, as part of the research, also came back with descriptions of a highly technological and disturbing underground base, they claimed.Not convinced? Neither are some other UFO investigators.Nigel Watson, author of the UFOs: The Nazi Connection, said: “It sounds like they are trying to bring a lot of separate things to make (something) whole.”

But he added that “the idea” of alien or flying saucer bases being underground was “nothing new”, dating back to at least 1962, when Albert Bender, founder of the International Flying Saucer Bureau (IFSB) in Bridgeport, Connecticut, claimed that alien beings took him to an underground HQ in Antarctica.

He said: “Sceptics think such stories are the product of malicious disinformation or fantasies, yet that doesn’t stop people believing in their existence. Perhaps if we all go under that flying saucer ‘shelter’ we might all believe.”

An MoD spokesman said: “We do not comment on UFO matters.”

Express.co.uk contacted Qinetiq to comment on the strange suggestions and awaits a further response.

A spokesman said: “We’re taking a look at the very detailed dossier and working on a response.”

Sunken ‘Alien Spacecraft’ under Baltic Sea still baffles experts, 5 years after discovery

The team that discovered what is today referred to as the Baltic Sea Anomaly in 2011, point out that after five years, no one has been able to identify the object which causes electronic equipment in its vicinity to malfunction.

It turns out that there is a mysterious sunken object located at the bottom of the ocean which ever since its discovery, has baffled both experts and marine explorers. The object which bears resemblance to the legendary spaceship from Star Wars: the Millennium Falcon, is called the ‘Baltic Sea Anomaly.’ It was found by underwater explorer research group called Ocean X Team in 2011 at a depth of 91 meters. The team led by captain Peter Lindberg and co-researcher Dennis Asberg noticed the mysterious object and what appear to be drag marks behind it using side-scan sonar equipment.

However, everything was fine until the crew which found the object reported electronic malfunctions while in the vicinity of the sunken object.

“Anything electric out there, and the satellite phone as well, stopped working when we were above the object,” Professional diver Stefan Hogerborn, part of the Ocean X team, said.

“And then when we got away about 200 metres, it turned on again, and when we got back over the object it didn’t work.”

The mysterious ‘Sunken UFO’ is sixty-one meters wide and measures approximately 8 meters in height. The mysterious spherical shape of the object has led people around the world to speculate what it might be, ever since its discovery, theories ranging from a giant mushroom to sunken Russian ship to an alien spaceship have been proposed by millions of people around the world.

The mystery surrounding the enigmatic object at the bottom od the Baltic Sea deepened when geologist Steve Weiner said that according to his tests, the object WAS NOT a geological formation –suggesting that the structure was in fact made from “metals which nature could not reproduce itself.”

According to Volker Bruchert, an associate professor of geology at Stockholm University: “My hypothesis is that this object, this structure was formed during the Ice Age many thousands of years ago,” reports Life’s Little Mysteries.com.

Further reports indicate that Lindberg and Asberg apparently told the website Open Minds. Tv that the samples they offered for analysis were not from the object itself but from the vicinity of the object.

The most recent update regarding the anomaly was made in 2015 when Lindberg wrote for What’s Up in The Sky saying that while they had not been to the anomaly recently, they did, however, pass over it with the side-sonar and that they could not see anything new.

Lindberg said that they are planning on visiting the object again:“We will pretty much just be able to do the same things as we did in 2012. It is not for sure yet, but since we’re involved in a new TV project, it might give us the opportunity.”

Lindberg isn’t convinced that the object is actually an ET spacecraft. In response to one question about what the object might be, Lindberg responded: “I think it is something natural, however very odd in its shape. It is tough to give an explanation what it might be exactly since different scientists have different theories.

“For example; Kyle Kingman (marine geologist) are very certain it is a paleosol, Tom Flodén (marine geologist) think it might be a Manganese nodule of tremendous size, Andreas Olsson (marine archaeologist) was quite certain it must be man made after seen the blueview sonar film and videos and all other scientists who has different theories.

7 Things We Learned About 'Star Wars' Science at New York Comic Con

By Sarah Lewin, Staff Writer

NEW YORK — How do lightsabers work? Do droids have rights? Would Kylo Ren's weapon slice off his wrists during combat? These are just some of the scientific questions that "Star Wars" and science experts aimed to answer Saturday (Oct. 8) here at New York Comic Con.

The event, called "Star Wars: The Science Awakens," featured seven panelists whose expertise included astrophysics, biology, psychology, filmmaking and general "Star Wars" nerdiness.

The panel enlightened Space.com about many aspects of the universe "a long time ago" — and here are seven questions answered we found particularly noteworthy. ['Star Wars' X-Wing Soars Near Edge of Space in Awesome Video]

Experts assemble at the "Star Wars: The Science Awakens" panel at New York Comic Con Oct. 8, 2016. (Left to right: Janey Tracey, Christopher Mahon, Mara Wood, Travis Langley, Charles Liu, Eliot Sirota, Monique Renee)

1. Do lightsabers make sense scientifically?

Charles Liu, an astrophysicist at The City University of New York College of Staten Island, said the main issue with lightsabers is how much energy would be required. His explanation assumed lightsabers would be made of plasma.

"If you build plasma up to a high enough energy, they [lightsabers] actually can have a physical reaction with one another," Liu said. "So if you could contain superpowerful plasma in these magnetic bottles, or something, and they knock against one another, they might actually be able to release noise and a physical resistance."

"The problem is, if you have that much power and ability to confine that much plasma, you don't want to leave it in a stick — you want to blast and level a city with it," he added.

With today's technology, it would not be possible to get that much power into such a small, portable package, said Christopher Mahon, a writer at science/sci-fi website Outerplaces.com. It'd need about 100 times the power density of a cellphone, which isn't currently possible, he said.

"And look what happened when Samsung tried to make a slightly more powerful battery," Liu joked, referring to the company's recently recalled Note 7 smartphone. (Hint: They exploded.)

A lightsaber could be a beam of plasma shaped like a donut, circling in on itself and maybe controlled by some sort of black hole in the handle with adjustable strength, the panelists said. But even then, the plasma would give off way more excess radiation, spraying the surroundings with light and particles, unless it was somehow siphoned off into some other dimension, they said.

The group also discussed whether the Force was necessary for someone to operate a lightsaber, which would help explain any nonscientific functioning of the weapon. But Han Solo uses a lightsaber, and his connection to the Force is unclear, psychologist and "Talking Comics" podcast host Mara Wood pointed out. Ultimately, it's probably that the Force makes people better lightsaber users but isn't crucial to the weapon's function. [Is a Real Lightsaber Possible? Science Offers a New Hope]

2. Would Kylo Ren's lightsaber slice up his arms?

Eliot Sirota, a visual-effects artist and filmmaker, recalled when the internet freaked out over the first "The Force Awakens" trailer because it featured two short mini-beams coming out of the sides of villain Kylo Ren's lightsaber.

As it turns out, the design is more practical than one might expect, assuming lightsabers themselves actually worked. Sirota cited weapons expert Steve Huff, who had been on this same panel in the past.

Huff tested the design: He built a foam model of Kylo Ren's weapon and put chalk on the blades, covering every part of the light beams' surface to reflect how every edge is a cutting edge. Then, he tested the model out with a German longsword fighting style that featured similarly shaped swords. When he went through a series of movements from that fighting style, he didn't get any chalk on the wrists of his black gloves, indicating he wouldn't have cut his body.

Therefore, people with the Force who were well trained, like Jedi and Kylo Ren, would likely have nothing to fear from their own weapon, he said.

"That's also some security about somebody else just picking up your weapon, because they turn their hand slightly, and the hand goes to the floor," added Travis Langley, editor and lead writer of the book "Star Wars Psychology: Dark Side of the Mind" (Sterling, 2015).

3. Do droids have rights?

Droids, like Luke Skywalker's companions R2D2 and C3PO, are beloved characters in the "Star Wars" movies, but most characters seem to treat them with complete disregard. It's unclear what rights droids have in "Star Wars" society, the panelists noted, if they have any at all.

"I'm a droid-rights advocate," Sirota said. "They're just disposable … [Scavengers] go out and just find them in the sand, and fix them up, sort of, and sell them off like a garage sale."

That behavior can seem jarring to audiences because the droids seem to be sentient, or they at least simulate sentience. After all, they seem to come up with original thoughts, meeting an artificial intelligence criterion called the Lovelace test, Mahon said. The Lovelace test evaluates whether an artificial being has creativity, and is an alternative to the Turing test (which evaluates whether it can pass as human). Moreover, the droids of the "Star Wars" universe have personalities that are more complex than anyone would probably program (such as C3PO's strange, complaining nature).

The characters in "Star Wars" seem to diverge in how they treat droids, the panelists noted: Skywalker family members seem to treat them well, but otherwise, they're pretty much viewed as machines.

"In the galaxy at large, these are tools," Sirota said. "These are microwave ovens, essentially." [Makers of 'Star Wars' BB-8 Droid Toy Promise Hidden Tricks]

A major exception, the panelists added, is cyborgs — characters who are part human and part machine, who seem to be treated as fully human. But where do you draw the line?

"Darth Vader is probably the perfect example of that," Langley said — he's transformed by and reliant on cybernetic implants, which could account for some of the drastic changes to his personality over the course of his storyline.

And perhaps we shouldn't be surprised to find that the ethical concerns in the "Star Wars" universe can be different from those facing humans on Earth. This is, after all, a civilization that relies on cloned human soldiers.

"There may be some ethical differences in the 'Star Wars' universe, given that we discuss the sentience of droids and it doesn't seem to be a topic [there]," said Monique Renee, who dresses in costume as part of the 501st and Rebel Legions and is studying zoology, biology and paleontology. "Cloning people might just be something they do there that we might not."

4. How would travel through hyperspace work?

The panelists' response to hyperspace is to cite string theory, a real-world framework that attempts to describe physics in terms of tiny, vibrating one-dimensional strings which exist in many more dimensions than we can sense. Essentially, if something like the string-theory universe were real, Mahon said, ships could travel largely through other dimensions — mostly outside of known space-time, but still leaving a "mass shadow," like a ghost, in their wakes).

"People are trying to develop a theory that explains our physics, here — not with four dimensions but with 10," Liu said. An 11-dimensional structure would tie them all together, he added — and by moving outside of our usual dimensions " you can literally jump back into any point in space-time," he said.

That might even explain the widely varying times it takes people to get around in the "Star Wars" universe, Liu added. For some string theories, the universe isn't uniform in all dimensions, so it could take longer to get to certain locations than to others.

5. Do planet-destroying lasers make sense?

"NO," Liu declared, the superweapons do not make sense.

"First of all, if you hit a planet with an energy beam — and this is true for Red Matter in the 'Star Trek' reboot also — you don't wind up with a planet going KABOOM! like that … What happens instead is, you get a rupture, but then gravity pulls everything back down again." ['Watch WIRED Smash an Epic LEGO Star Destroyer & Trek Alum Explain 'Star Wars']

Moreover, under the universal laws of physics, it would not be possible to funnel a star's energy into a planet without it immediately turning into a star itself, the panelists said.

If a planet were somehow vaporized, it would ultimately mess with the orbits of other planets in the system, Liu added. For instance, if Earth were turned to rubble, it would eventually become a ring system around the sun and, in turn, slowly change Mars' and Venus' orbits a bit. Saturn's rings, for instance, are held in place by shepherd moons that keep the rings from deviating.

6. Would destroying the Death Star ruin the economy?

An audience member brought up a theory, discussed by The Film Theorists on YouTube: that the destruction of the Death Star superweapon would be devastating to the galactic economy. The panelists, however, doubted that would be the case.

"A couple of astronomers and NASA technicians have said 'Star Wars' is the land of infinite fuel, because all the starships can go pretty much anywhere," Mahon said. "If you're dealing with star systems with thousands of planets across a galaxy, the resources are just incalculable. And the Galactic Empire loves superweapons; that's one of their big things. So they probably have the logistics system in place to make it happen."

"The Empire as a government doesn't care about how everyone else is doing; they just take what they want," Sirota added. "Let's just go to a planet and strip-mine it and take all their resources, and — 'Oh, sorry guys, see you later; we're going to go build a Star Destroyer.'" [Photos: 'Star Wars and the Power of Costume' Exhibition]

7. Is "Star Wars" science fiction or fantasy?

Janey Tracey, managing editor of Outerplaces.com, said this question puts "Star Wars" fans in a bind: It's either fantasy, or you have to accept midi-chlorians as real (the widely disliked biological explanation for the Force given in the series' prequel movies). Part of the reason people disliked that narrative turn, the panelists said, was that viewers didn't feel the need to understand the science behind the Force to appreciate the movies' storylines.

"'Star Wars' is really apart from something like 'Star Trek,' for me, because you look at 'Star Trek,' and the science is just so important to the fans and the creators," Renee said. "[In] 'Star Wars,' the science is more of a framework to hang the story off of. It really wasn't quite as important. It's there; it's just meant to explain what's going on, and you suspend your disbelief and just go with it."

That discussion raised another question: "Why has their science advanced so little in 1,000 years?" Langley asked. The panelists speculated that the dark days of the universe could have stalled technological development, as in Earth's Middle Ages, or perhaps the existence of the Force itself made technology irrelevant. After all, when the Force was weak, the technological Empire rose. [10 Real Alien Worlds That Resemble 'Star Wars' Planets]

"Star Wars" "could be science fiction, science fantasy, real — it just isn't necessarily human," Liu said later in the panel. "The fact that they look human is utterly coincidental if they're that far away and it's that long ago."

Ultimately, though, "Star Wars" is based on a traditional "hero's journey" narrative — the heroic quests that come up again and again in mythology around the world. Series' creator George Lucas purposely followed that format, the panelists said, and it's part of the reason the movies resonate so immediately with an audience (and also why people thought "The Force Awakens" ripped off "A New Hope"; both films hewed to that narrative.) "Star Trek," on the other hand, focuses on humanity's overall journey into the future.

"'Star Wars' is the hero's journey," Sirota said. "'Star Trek' is the human journey."

Mission to Mars: Here Are All of the Red Planet Plans in the Works

By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

President Barack Obama announced Tuesday (Oct. 11) that NASA will send astronauts to Mars before the end of the 2030s, reaffirming a directive he gave the space agency back in 2010. But there's no guarantee that NASA will get there first; several other organizations also have the Red Planet in their sights, and on more aggressive timelines.

Here's a brief rundown of these ambitious Mars projects — what they hope to accomplish, and when. [Buzz Aldrin: How To Get Your Ass To Mars (Video)]

NASA: Stepping stones to Mars

NASA is taking a multistep approach to its ultimate goal of putting boots on Mars.

The journey begins in low Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station (ISS), which has hosted rotating crews continuously since November 2000. During this time, NASA and its ISS partners have been learning more and more about how to support astronauts on space missions.

This effort took a big step forward this past March, when NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko wrapped up an unprecedented11-month mission aboard the orbiting lab that gave researchers new data about the physiological and psychological effects of long-duration spaceflight. (A Mars mission will be long-duration; it takes six to nine months to get to the Red Planet using currently available propulsion technology.)

In the next 10 years, NASA plans to extend the reach of human spaceflight out near the moon, to test spaceflight gear — such as the Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket and Orion crew capsule, both of which are in development — in a "proving ground" in deep space. For example, in the mid-2020s, the agency plans to send astronauts out to lunar orbit, to visit an asteroid boulder dragged there by a robotic spacecraft. (The boulder-snagging first part of this Asteroid Redirect Mission is scheduled to launch in the early 2020s.)

After the proving ground comes the journey to Mars itself. Current plans call for sending astronauts to Mars orbit in the early 2030s, with trips to the surface coming sometime after that. NASA officials have said they hope to eventually set up a small outpost on the Red Planet, where astronauts would search for signs of Mars life and perform other research. [6 Private Deep Space Habitats to Pave Way to Mars]

Mars Base Camp

NASA officials have stressed that the agency's journey to Mars will be a group effort.

In this spirit of cooperation, earlier this year, aerospace company Lockheed Martin unveiled its proposal for "Mars Base Camp," a 132-ton (120 metric tons) Red Planet space station composed primarily of two Orion capsules and two habitat modules/science laboratories.

Mars Base Camp — a collaboration involving NASA, its international partners and private industry — would support up to six astronauts, who would stay aboard for a year or so. During this time, they would operate robots on the Martian surface, look for signs of life in samples of Red Planet dirt and rock, and take trips to the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos, among other tasks, Lockheed representatives have said.

Mars Base Camp could conceivably be established as early as 2028, Lockheed representatives have said. The space station would also be a way station of sorts: Shortly after the first orbital mission, other crews would head down to the Red Planet, company representatives have said, though they have not yet discussed those surface plans in detail.

SpaceX: A huge Mars colony

SpaceX's dreams are bigger than an orbiting Martian space station or small research outpost on the surface. Last month, the company's billionaire founder and CEO, Elon Musk, announced that SpaceX aims to help establish a million-person Mars colony in the next 50 to 100 years.

To make this happen, SpaceX plans to build the Interplanetary Transport System (ITS), which will combine the most powerful rocket in history with a 100-person spaceship that will ferry settlers to and from the Red Planet. [SpaceX's Interplanetary Transport for Mars in Images]

If everything goes perfectly, Musk said, the fully reusable ITS could launch its first crews in 2024. But SpaceX also aims to launch uncrewed missions using its Dragon capsule and Falcon Heavy rocket beginning in 2018, to test out landing systems and other technologies critical to the colonization effort.

This is no lark on SpaceX's part. Musk has stressed repeatedly that he founded SpaceX back in 2002 primarily to help humanity become a multiplanet species, and he said during the ITS unveiling last month that the main reason he has been "accumulating assets" over the years is to fund Mars colonization.

Mars One: One-way trip

SpaceX isn't the only group angling for a Mars colony. The Netherlands-based nonprofit Mars One has the same goal, though on a much smaller scale.

Mars One plans to launch robotic precursor missions to the Red Planet in 2020, 2022 and 2024, to lay the groundwork for the first settlers, who will launch in 2026 and land on Mars in 2027. (Earth and Mars align favorably for interplanetary missions just once every 26 months.)

If everything works out, Mars One will continue sending four-person crews to the Red Planet at every launch opportunity, gradually building up a permanent, self-sustaining settlement. At the moment, there are no plans to bring any of these colonists home. (That's in contrast to SpaceX's system, in which spaceships will be flying back and forth between Earth and Mars repeatedly, giving Mars pioneers the option to come back.)

Mars One has estimated that it will cost about $6 billion to get the first four pioneers to Mars. The organization aims to raise most of this money by staging a global media event around the entire project, from astronaut selection, to launch, to the colonists' time on the Red Planet.

Other projects possible

It's possible other crewed Mars efforts will take shape in the near future.

For example, billionaire Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, who leads the private spaceflight company Blue Origin, has said he aims to help get millions of people living and working in space eventually. Blue Origin has already launched multiple test flights of its suborbital New Shepard vehicle and recently announced that it's developing a big orbital rocket known as New Glenn.

Bezos also mentioned that the company plans to develop something called New Armstrong but revealed no details about the project. Will New Armstrong, or another Blue Origin effort down the road, help get astronauts to Mars? We'll just have to wait and see.

In the past, both the European Space Agency and Russia have expressed interest in putting boots on Mars, as has China (though China is working on getting people to the moon first). These players could end up making a push toward the Red Planet, either alone or as part of a coalition — perhaps NASA's coalition (though current U.S. laws prohibit extensive cooperation with China in spaceflight endeavors). To make a long story short: There's a lot happening, so stay tuned!

Strange Waves Hint at Hidden Moons of Uranus

By Sarah Lewin, Staff Writer

Weird waves in Uranus' rings suggest there might be two tiny, unknown moonlets orbiting there.

Researchers know little about the distant, icy planet Uranus compared to other planets in the solar system. Only one spacecraft has flown by it, Voyager 2 in 1986, and scientists have pieced together the rest of their observations through views from Earth-based and orbiting telescopes. The planet has rings — narrower and much darker in color than most of Saturn's, with uneven widths and strange, sharp edges — and is tilted dramatically on its side, giving rise to decades-long seasons and extreme weather patterns.

Uranus has a crowded consortium of at least 27 moons named for literary figures, some orbiting in tight, unstable-looking formations. And now, new analysis of data from the Voyager 2 flyby suggests that two more tiny moons lurk even closer to the planet than those already known. [Photos of Uranus: A Strange, Tilted Planet]

Robert Chancia, a graduate student at University of Idaho, Moscow, investigated the patterns created when Voyager 2 beamed radio waves through the planet's rings toward Earth. Based on how much light makes it through the rings, researchers can discern how much ring material there is at a particular spot, Chancia told Space.com.

This image of Uranus from Hubble Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer, taken in 1997, caught the planet's rotation and the movement of many of its moons over the course of 90 minutes. The three colors on the body of the planet correspond to three wavelengths of infrared light; blue indicates clearest atmospheric conditions, penetrating further down, whereas green shows a haze of methane gas and red shows hydrogen.
**Credit: NASA/JPL/STScI**

And he found something unexpected around two thin inner rings, called alpha and beta: "At the edges of the rings … it's almost like the amount of stuff is going up and down in a periodic fashion that looks kind of like a wave, with crests and troughs," Chancia said. "It seems consistent with something disturbing the rings there," he added.

The waves' composition seem to reflect the rippling wake of a passing moon, Chancia said. Plugging the data into a model used to discover one of Saturn's moons, the group found that the waves could be caused by small moonlets orbiting just outside each of the rings.

Although the moons would have moved on from their exact positions 30 years ago, the waves reveal their approximate masses and radial locations, which likely still apply today, Chancia said. To try and verify the new moons' existence, Chancia combined Voyager 2 images of the planet in which the moons should have been visible. While other known moons were highlighted using this method, the potential new moonlets did not materialize.

"Based on the amplitude of this wave pattern and that distance from the ring … and our attempts to find the moon in images, it basically points toward if they exist, they're pretty tiny," Chancia said. That means the moons are likely smaller than 3 miles (5 kilometers) in radius, which would make them smaller and closer in than any of Uranus' known moons. "The most likely scenario is that it's a small object that's right at the level of the noise in the images."

Understanding Uranus' rings, and the moons interacting with them, can help reveal more about the planet's gravity and interior structure. Eight of Uranus' nine main rings are very thin, less than 10 km (6 miles) thick, Chancia said. Researchers aren't sure how the rings stay narrow over time when the particle collisions should cause them to spread out, or how long they've existed around the planet, but the actions of "shepherd moons" orbiting along with the rings may be keeping some of them in line. The moons Cordelia and Ophelia appear to keep Uranus' outermost, widest ring relatively confined between around 20 and 100 km (12 and 62 miles) in width, for instance, and a similar setup may corral one of Saturn's rings.

"Finding a small moon like this that could be helping to keep the alpha and beta rings confined and shed some light on that story could help — or just confuse things more," Chancia said.

Mark Showalter, a researcher at SETI Institute in California, told New Scientistthat the moons' presence is "certainly a very plausible possibility." Chancia said that Showalter and others can investigate data about Uranus from the Hubble Space Telescope to try to scope out traces of the two new moons. A lot of what scientists know about Uranus came from similar telescope observations, and this data offers the best opportunity to verify the moons' existence, Chancia said — at least until some future mission approaches the ice giant once again.

The new work has been accepted to The Astronomical Journal, and is available online at the preprint site arXiv.

What's Up with 'Niku'? Object's Weird Orbit Puzzles Scientists

By Charles Q. Choi, Space.com Contributor

A mysterious object in the outer reaches of the solar system is revolving around the sun in an abnormal way, and scientists currently cannot explain why.

The object has been nicknamed Niku, a Chinese adjective that means "rebellious," by the group of researchers who announced its discovery in August. This name was chosen because the object's orbit is retrograde, meaning it moves in the opposite direction of nearly everything else in the solar system.

Niku was discovered by researchers who used the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) in Hawaii, and it lies in the outer reaches of the solar system, about 35 times farther away from the sun than Earth, beyond the orbit of Neptune. [The Pan-STARRS Asteroid Hunting Telescope]

Niku's orbit is inclined at an extreme 110-degree tilt with respect to the relatively thin, flat zone in which the eight major planets of the solar system orbit. In contrast, most trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are in much less inclined orbits.

The retrograde and extremely tilted nature of the orbits of Niku and another TNO nicknamed "Drac" led the scientists to try to find out whether there were objects with similar orbital characteristics that were listed in the Minor Planet Center database (which contains information about more than 1,000 small bodies in the solar system). They discovered four other objects with orbits that were either retrograde or nearly retrograde (meaning is orbit is inclined by less than, but close to, 90 degrees) and were also highly tilted. Two of these objects are Centaurs — bodies that orbit between Jupiter and Neptune.

The scientists were surprised to find that all six of these objects appear to orbit within a common plane.

"They're not randomly distributed in the sky — they all seem to be aligned," study co-author Matthew Payne, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, told Space.com.

Computer simulations that the researchers carried out suggest that Niku and Drac may have been in their orbits for hundreds of millions of years. In addition, the scientists suggest that there may be more extremely inclined objects in this group.

It remains uncertain why these six objects apparently cluster together. Astrophysicists Konstantin Batygin and Michael Brown at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena recently found that they may have been scattered off-kilter from the rest of the solar system by the gravitational pull of "Planet Nine," a world about 10 times Earth's mass that may exist about 500 times farther away from the sun than Earth.

Another possible origin for this group is "galactic tides." As the sun orbits the center of the Milky Way, it moves up and down within the disk of the galaxy, and "tidal forces are exerted on the solar system that are thought in general to have a variety of effects, such as disturbing the Oort Cloud and throwing comets into the solar system," Payne said.

The scientists detailed their findings Oct. 17 at the American Astronomical Society Division for Planetary Sciences and European Planetary Science Congress in Pasadena, California.

Mysterious Cosmic Objects Erupting in X-rays Discovered

Astronomers have found a pair of extraordinary cosmic objects that dramatically burst in X-rays. This discovery, obtained with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton observatory, may represent a new class of explosive events found in space.

The mysterious X-ray sources flare up and become about a hundred times brighter in less than a minute, before returning to original X-ray levels after about an hour. At their peak, these objects qualify as ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) that give off hundreds to thousands of times more X-rays than typical binary systems where a star is orbiting a black hole or neutron star.

“We’ve never seen anything like this,” said Jimmy Irwin of the University of Alabama, who led the study that appears in the latest issue of the journal Nature. “Astronomers have seen many different objects that flare up, but these may be examples of an entirely new phenomenon.”

While magnetars – young neutron stars with powerful magnetic fields – have been known to produce bright and rapid flares in X-rays, these newly discovered objects are different in key ways.

First, magnetars only take a few seconds to tens of seconds to decline in X-rays after a flare. Secondly, these new flaring objects are found in populations of old stars in elliptical galaxies, which are spherical or egg-shaped galaxies that are composed mostly of older stars.

This makes it unlikely that these new flaring objects are young, astronomically speaking, like magnetars are thought to be. Also, these objects are brighter in X-rays during their “calm” periods.

“These flares are extraordinary,” said Peter Maksym, a co-author from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “For a brief period, one of the sources became one of the brightest ULX to ever be seen in an elliptical galaxy.”

When they are not flaring, these sources appear to be normal binary systems where a black hole or neutron star is pulling material from a companion star similar to the Sun. This indicates that the flares do not significantly disrupt the binary system.

While the nature of these flares is unknown, the team has begun to search for answers. One idea is that the flares represent episodes when matter being pulled away from a companion star falls rapidly onto a black hole or neutron star. This could happen when the companion makes its closest approach to the compact object in an eccentric orbit. Another explanation could involve matter falling onto an intermediate-mass black hole, with a mass of about 800 times that of the Sun for one source and 80 times that of the Sun for the other.

“Now that we've discovered these flaring objects, observational astronomers and theorists alike are going to be working hard to figure out what’s happening,” said co-author Gregory Sivakoff of the University of Alberta.

One of the sources, located near and presumably associated with the galaxy NGC 4636 at a distance of 47 million light years, was observed with Chandra to flare once. Five flares were detected from the other source, which is located near the galaxy NGC 5128 at a distance of 14 million light years. Four of these flares were seen with Chandra and one with XMM-Newton.

The team looked at the X-ray variation of several thousand X-ray sources in Chandra observations of 70 nearby galaxies. Although several examples of flaring X-ray sources were found, none exhibited the behavior of the giant rapid flares reported here.

“We hebben nog nooit zoiets gezien”: Astronomen spotten mysterieuze objecten in de ruimte

Wetenschappers hebben twee mysterieuze objecten in de ruimte ontdekt die spectaculaire uitbarstingen van röntgenstraling vertonen. Ze zijn nog nooit eerder gezien.

Mogelijk gaat het om een nieuwe klasse van explosieve gebeurtenissen in de ruimte. Niemand weet precies waar we mee te maken hebben.

Deze mysterieuze objecten, die zich in twee verschillende sterrenstelsels bevinden, lijken op ultraheldere röntgenbronnen (ultraluminous X-ray sources, afgekort tot ULXs), maar hun ongewone gedrag komt niet overeen met bekende kosmische fenomenen.

Veel langer

De vreemde röntgenbronnen vlammen op en worden in minder dan een minuut tijd honderd keer zo helder, om in de loop van een uur weer af te zwakken tot het normale niveau. Daarmee duren de uitbarstingen veel langer dan die van bekende objecten.

Hoe dit gedrag ontstaat is nog onduidelijk. Eén van de mogelijkheden is dat het dubbelsterren betreft, bestaande uit een normale ster en een zwart gat of een neutronenster.

De opvlammingen zouden ontstaan wanneer de ster zijn zware begeleider zo dicht nadert, dat er materie aan hem wordt onttrokken.

Volstrekt nieuw fenomeen

“We hebben nog nooit zoiets gezien,” zegt astronoom Jimmy Irwin van de Universiteit van Alabama. “Astronomen hebben al veel verschillende opvlammende objecten gezien, maar dit zijn mogelijk voorbeelden van een volstrekt nieuw fenomeen.”

Eén van de röntgenbronnen bevindt zich in de buurt van het 47 miljoen lichtjaar verre sterrenstelsel NGC 4636. Van dit object is één uitbarsting waargenomen, in februari 2003.

De andere bron staat in de buurt van het stelsel Centaurus A, dat 14 miljoen lichtjaar van ons is verwijderd. Daarvan zijn tussen 2007 en 2014 vijf uitbarstingen geregistreerd.

Eén van de helderste

“Deze opvlammingen zijn buitengewoon,” zei Peter Maksym van het Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “Korte tijd werd één van de bronnen één van de helderste ULXs die we ooit hebben gezien in een elliptisch sterrenstelsel.”

Astronomen proberen de komende tijd uit te zoeken wat hier precies aan de hand is, aldus Gregory Sivakoff van de Universiteit van Alberta.

Het onderzoek is gepubliceerd in vakblad Nature.

SPOREN OBJECT BODEM OOSTZEE WIJZEN NAAR ATLANTIS ( VIDEO )

SPOREN OBJECT BODEM OOSTZEE WIJZEN NAAR ATLANTIS ( VIDEO )

De afgelopen jaren deden we regelmatig verslag over een mysterieus object op de bodem de Oostzee, waarvan velen denken dat het een gecrashte UFO is.

Na uitgebreid onderzoek is in ieder geval duidelijk dat het een kunstmatige constructie is en dat het dus niet natuurlijk is ontstaan.

Vooralsnog blijft het vreemde object op de bodem van de Oostzee nog een raadsel, alhoewel er nu een aantal mensen zijn die denken dit mysterie te hebben opgelost.

Het verhaal begon in de zomer van 2012 als volgt:

Afgelopen zomer haalden ze de internationale pers met het bericht dat ze eigenlijk per ongeluk ontdekt hadden dat er een groot UFO-achtig object op de bodem van de Oostzee lag.

Zoals op onderstaande foto te zien is, bedraagt de doorsnede van het object ongeveer 60 meter en is er op de bodem van de zee ook een soort spoor te zien van ongeveer 300 meter lang, alsof het object gecrashed is en doorgeschoven op de zeebodem

bodem oostzee

Wie wil weten wat er daarna is gebeurd, raden wij aan dit artikel te lezen.

Volgens een groep onderzoekers die bekendstaan onder de naam Resonance Group is het raadsel van het Oostzee object opgelost en hebben we hier te maken met een oud monument van ongeveer 14.000 jaar oud, thuishoort in het late paleolithicum en waarschijnlijk onderdeel vormt van het oude Atlantis.

Zij denken dat dat wat er uitziet als een soort landingsbaan een ceremoniële laan is die je wel vaker aantreft bij tempelcomplexen in centraal Amerika en Mexico.

Daarnaast hebben ze een aantal tekens (hiëroglyfen) ontdekt die zouden kunnen wijzen op het voormalige Atlantis.

Al eerder werd duidelijk dat er metalen zijn gebruikt in de constructie van dit object, waarvan er één titanium is. Dit laatste is weer een materiaal dat wordt geassocieerd met de bouw van ruimteschepen en dergelijke.

Volgens de Human Resonance Group zorgen de metalen deeltjes in de constructie ervoor dat er een geleider ontstaat die elektromagnetische golven omzet in een soort vortex.

Dit zou dan volgens hen verklaren waarom alle elektrische apparatuur in de buurt van het object uitvalt. Deze vortex zorgt dan voor verstoringen, vergelijkbaar met die die optreden in buurt van piramides, zoals dat is ervaren door zowel militaire als civiele piloten in landen als Egypte, Mexico en Guatemala.

Titanium in de constructie en het uitvallen van elektrische apparatuur zijn natuurlijk ook beiden kenmerken van het UFO fenomeen. Bij de bouw van UFO's wordt waarschijnlijk titanium gebruikt en er zijn talloze verhalen en voorbeelden bekend waarbij de elektrische stroom in de buurt van UFO’s is uitgevallen.

Nu hoeft misschien het één het ander niet uit te sluiten en is het heel goed mogelijk dat dit object stamt uit het tijdperk van Atlantis.

Of het dan een monument was, of dat het een totaal andere functie had, staat dan nog open. En wie weet, was er in de tijd van Atlantis wel sprake van druk ruimteverkeer met andere planeten en speelde het object op de bodem van de Oostzee daar een bepaalde rol in.

Als het object op de bodem van de Oostzee ons iets duidelijk maakt, dan is dat het feit dat we zo goed als niets weten over onze eigen menselijke geschiedenis.

VREEMD GEBOUW ONTDEKT OP DE MAAN ( VIDEO )

VREEMD GEBOUW ONTDEKT OP DE MAAN ( VIDEO )

Er zijn verschillende manieren om beelden te krijgen van de Maan, maar de meest eenvoudige is een telescoop.

Wanneer je daar dan doorheen kijkt en je ziet iets, dan kun je er gevoegelijk vanuit gaan dat het echt is.

Een Youtube gebruiker die bekendstaat onder de naam UFOvni2012 heeft een video online gezet waarin beelden voorkomen van de maan die gemaakt zijn met een telescoop.

De telescoop die gebruikt is heet Celestron Nexstar Evolution 9.25. Het zegt ons weinig, maar kenners waarschijnlijk wel.

Hoe dan ook, met deze telescoop wordt iets ontdekt op de noordpool van de maan en wanneer wat verder wordt ingezoomd, dan blijkt dat een merkwaardig gebouw te zijn.

xxx

Dat roept dan een aantal interessante vragen op.

De eerste is natuurlijk dat er zich volgens NASA op de maan geen vreemde gebouwen bevinden die misschien toebehoren of toebehoorden aan beschavingen die of op de maan bivakkeerden of daar misschien zelfs wel woonden.

De tweede vraag die boven komt, is alleen voor de aanhangers van de platte aarde theorie:

Waarom zou men als de aarde plat is en de maan niets anders is dan een hologram die in de lucht hangt, de moeite nemen om daar op de noordpool een gebouw te projecteren? Het zou kunnen natuurlijk en ook dat daar dan een reden voor zou zijn en mocht iemand die (denken te) weten, dan horen wij het graag.

Al met al blijft dit een interessante opname, want het is weer eens wat anders dan opnamen van NASA waarvan je nooit weet of ermee geknoeid is of niet.

Dan geldt uiteraard ook voor UFOvni2012, alhoewel we er vooralsnog vanuit gaan dat het gebouw op de noordpool van de maan inderdaad is geregistreerd door zijn telescoop.

'Planet Nine' Can't Hide Much Longer, Scientists Say

By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

Planet Nine's days of lurking unseen in the dark depths of the outer solar system may be numbered.

The hypothetical giant planet, which is thought to be about 10 times more massive than Earth, will be discovered within 16 months or so, astronomer Mike Brown predicted.

"I'm pretty sure, I think, that by the end of next winter — not this winter, next winter — I think that there'll be enough people looking for it that … somebody's actually going to track this down," Brown said during a news conference Wednesday (Oct. 19) at a joint meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) and the European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC) in Pasadena, California. Brown said that eight to 10 groups are currently looking for the planet. [The Evidence for 'Planet Nine' in Images (Gallery)]

**Credit: by Karl Tate, Infographics artist**

At the "next one of these [DPS-EPSC meetings], we'll be talking about finding Planet Nine instead of just looking for it," added Brown, who's based at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena.

That would be a pretty quick path from hypothetical planet to confirmed world. The existence of Planet Nine was seriously proposed for the first time just in 2014, by astronomers Scott Sheppard and Chadwick Trujillo, of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., and the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii, respectively.

Sheppard and Trujillo noted that the dwarf planet Sedna, the newfound object 2012 VP113 and several other bodies far beyond Pluto share certain odd orbital characteristics, a coincidence that would make sense if their paths through space had been shaped by an unseen, giant "perturber" in the region.

The researchers suggested that this putative planet is perhaps two to 15 times more massive than Earth and lies hundreds of astronomical units (AU) from the sun. (One AU is the Earth-sun distance, about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.)

This interpretation was bolstered in January of this year by Brown and fellow Caltech astronomer Konstantin Batygin, who found evidence of a perturber's influence in the orbits of a handful of additional distant objects. This "Planet Nine," as Batygin and Brown dubbed the putative world, likely contains about 10 Earth masses and orbits on a highly elliptical path whose aphelion (farthest distance from the sun) is about 1,000 AU, the researchers said. (For perspective, Pluto gets just 49.3 AU from the sun at aphelion.)

The evidence for Planet Nine's existence has continued to grow over the past nine months, as several different research teams have determined that the orbits of other small, distant objects appear to have been sculpted as well.

One team, led by Renu Malhotra of the University of Arizona, discussed four such objects at the DPS/EPSC meeting Wednesday. And Brown's team, led by Elizabeth Bailey of Caltech, announced at the meeting on Tuesday (Oct. 18) that Planet Nine appears to have tilted the orbits of all eight "official" planets by 6 degrees relative to the sun.

The ongoing Planet Nine research also includes efforts to pin down where the world might be in the sky these days. This is a key part of the discovery effort, since a blind search for an object so far away, and with such a huge and elliptical orbit, has little chance of success in the near term, Brown has said.[Evidence Mounts for Existence of 'Planet Nine' (Video)]

It's likely that Planet Nine is currently at or near aphelion, located perhaps 1,000 AU from the sun, in a patch of sky measuring about 400 square degrees, Brown said. (For comparison, the full moon viewed from Earth covers about 0.5 degrees of sky.)

Astronomers have said Planet Nine is perhaps four times wider than Earth, and such an object would be easily visible with professional-grade equipment if it were relatively close to Earth, Brown explained. In addition, planets on highly elliptical orbits spend most of their time near aphelion, since they're traveling most slowly on this part of their path, he said.

An object four times bigger than Earth that's located at 1,000 AU would have a magnitude of about +25 on astronomers' brightness scale, Brown added.

"This is well within reach of the giant telescopes," he said. "The Subaru telescope, I think, on Mauna Kea, [in Hawaii] — the Japanese national telescope — is the prime instrument for doing the search. But there are a lot of other people who have clever ideas on how to find it, too, that are trying with their own telescopes."

So which research team will ultimately find Planet Nine? Brown said he isn't sure, and he stressed that getting credit for the historic discovery should be a secondary concern for astronomers.

"There are a lot of people looking, and we are trying as hard as we can to tell people where to look," he said. "We want it to be found."

Clouds on Pluto? Dwarf Planet's Weather Gets Weirder

By Charles Q. Choi, Space.com Contributor

PASADENA, Calif. — Scientists may have spotted more than a half dozen clouds in Pluto's hazy atmosphere, researchers announced today (Oct. 18).

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto in July 2015, revealing a bounty of unexpected details about the frozen world. For instance, the mission discovered that Pluto possesses a complex, layered atmosphere.

"We've noticed a large number of concentric layers of haze, more than two dozen," New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, said during a news conference here at the 2016 American Astronomical Society's Division of Planetary Science meeting. "These haze layers stretch very high into the sky — more than a half million feet, or 200 kilometers." [Photos of Pluto and Its Moons]

Preliminary images of Pluto hinted at the presence of a cloud in the dwarf planet's atmosphere. Now, Stern and his colleagues have revealed seven bright features that might be clouds in that world's exotic skies.

"If there are clouds, it would mean the weather on Pluto is even more complex than we imagined," Stern said in a statement from NASA.

All these potential clouds "are similar in that they are very low-altitude, and all are very similar in length scales, measured in kilometers or tens of kilometers," Stern said. "We're not seeing decks or banks of clouds — we're seeing individual, discrete cloud features," he said.

All seven of these features lie near the terminator, the dividing line between day and night, "either near dawn or dusk, which suggests they may be clouds, because there are cooler conditions there where condensation processes are likely to occur," Stern said.

Computer models of Pluto's atmosphere suggest that the most likely place to find clouds on Pluto are at low altitudes, where the seven features presented today are located. The models suggest that any such clouds are likely made of minor trace constituents of Pluto's atmosphere, such as acetylene, ethane and hydrogen cyanide, Stern said.

The researchers cannot confirm that these bright features are clouds because New Horizons cannot confirm their altitude and thus whether they are separate from the surface, Stern said.

"To confirm if these features are clouds, we need to go back to Pluto with new instruments and be there for longer periods with something like a Pluto orbiter," he said.

If these clouds do exist, it remains unknown how long they might last, the researchers said.

"One might expect, since they're seen near the terminator, that they're short-lived phenomena seen near dawn or dusk each day on Pluto," Stern said. "A day on Pluto is equivalent to 6.4 days on Earth, almost a week."

Stern noted that Pluto is not nearly as cloudy as Earth — its hazy skies appear 99 percent free of clouds.

"The situation on Pluto is like that in the western United States, where the skies are not cloudy all day," Stern said.

Pluto

Pluto, the most famous dwarf planet in our solar system, underwent a well-publicized (and somewhat controversial) reclassification that took away its title as the ninth and most distant planet from the sun. So, how well do you know this fascinating world?

The New Horizons spacecraft is currently about 3.4 billion miles (5.5 billion kilometers) from Earth and about 340 million miles (540 million km) beyond Pluto, speeding away from the sun at about 32,400 mph (52,100 km/h). The last bits of data that the mission gathered are scheduled to be transmitted to Earth on Oct. 23, but it will still take a while for scientists to analyze all of the information.

"The hard work of understanding the Pluto system is going to take years — it's much more complex and nuanced than we ever expected," Stern said.

Editor's note: This article previously stated that New Horizons is currently 3.4 billion miles beyond Pluto; it is 340 million miles beyond Pluto.

Alien Life May Munch on Galactic Cosmic Rays

By Charles Q. Choi, Live Science Contributor

Extreme microbes that live in hostile places on Earth may feed off of cosmic rays that zip through space, according to a study of a bizarre bacterium thriving deep in a dark gold mine.

If life exists on other planets such as Mars, it too could be gobbling upcosmic rays in order to survive, the new study suggests.

"When you have radiation penetrating deep below the surface, where there might be water on Mars or [Jupiter's moon] Europa, then it could start chemical reactions that life could use," said study author Dimitra Atri, a research scientist at the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science in Seattle. Organisms that live off of galactic cosmic rays could even dwell on rogue planets that are not bound to any star and instead drift throughout interstellar space, Atri added. [Extreme Life on Earth: 8 Bizarre Creatures]

Where there's no light

Life on Earth relies largely on energy from the sun. Light drivesphotosynthesis, which, in turn, supplies the nutrients that most organisms use, either directly or indirectly, in order to survive. Still, if light is not available, life can find other sources of energy, such as heat, or chemical energy, previous research has found.

Prior work has even found that life-forms can live off the ionizing radiation — which has enough energy to ionize or charge atoms — from radioactive materials. For instance, the bacteriumCandidatus Desulforudis audaxviator, found about 1.75 miles (2.8 kilometers) deep in a South African gold mine, lives off the energy from radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium in the rocks there. Specifically, ionizing radiation from these isotopes breaks down water in the area into hydrogen gas, which the bacterium can use as fuel, and helps to generate other biologically useful molecules.

"Most research on ionizing radiation concerns its potentially harmful effects, such as damage to DNA," Atri told Live Science. "But a bacterium that is cut off completely from sunlight and the rest of the biosphere can survive completely off of ionizing radiation."

Atri investigates galactic cosmic rays, which are high-energy particles, mostly protons, that careen across space from beyond the solar system. After he read about radiation-loving Ca. D. audaxviator, he began to wonder if other microbes could live off of energy from galactic cosmic rays as well.

Cosmic rays and extreme life

Galactic cosmic rays possess much higher energy than other sources of radiation on Earth. When they hit the atmosphere or surface of a planet, they generate a cascade of particles — such as electrons, positrons and neutrons — as well as dangerous gamma-rays. "Galactic cosmic rays are everywhere, and they have so much energy, they can penetrate even below the surfaces of planets," Atri said.

Using computer simulations, Atri found that galactic cosmic rays, though rare, could provide a steady flow of energy for life underground; this energy was comparable to that emitted by radioactive substances on Earth.

The energy flow could extend to potential life on other planets as well, he said.

Atri suggested that one way to see if this concept might actually help sustain life would be to conduct a lab experiment that exposed the bacterium Ca. D. audaxviator to the kind of particles that galactic cosmic rays generate when they hit the atmospheres or surfaces of planets.

Atri detailed his findings online Oct. 5 in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.

Where Is the Rest of the Universe?

By Jesse Emspak, Live Science Contributor

Most of the universe is made up of "stuff" that is invisible, possibly intangible and interacts with other things only via the force of gravity. Oh, yes, and physicists don't know what the stuff is or why it makes up so much of the universe — some four-fifths of its mass.

They call it dark matter.

So where is this mysterious stuff that makes up such a huge chunk of our universe, and when will scientists find it?

First, though, how do we know it's even out there?

Dark matter was first hypothesized in the 1930s when Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky realized that his measurements of the masses of galaxy clusters showed some of the mass in the universe was "missing." Whatever was making galaxies heavier, it didn't give off any light, nor did it interact with anything else except via gravity.

Vera Rubin, in the 1970s, found that the rotation of galaxies was not following the predictions of Newton's laws of motion; the stars in galaxies (notably Andromeda) all seemed to be orbiting the center at the same speed, rather than those farther out moving more slowly as theories of gravity said they should. Clearly, something was adding mass to the outer parts of galaxies, something nobody could see. [Does the Universe Have an Edge?]

Other pieces of evidence came from gravitational lensing, which happens when the gravity of a large object bends the light waves around that object. Per Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity bends space (like a sumo wrestler might deform the mat he is standing on), so light rays bend around massive objects even though light itself is massless. Observations indicated that there wasn't enough visible mass to bend the light by as much as it was bending around certain galaxy clusters — in other words, the galaxies were more massive than they should be.

Then there is the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the "echo" of the Big Bang, and supernovas. "What the CMB tells you is that the universe is spatially flat," said Jason Kumar, a professor of physics at the University of Hawaii. "Spatially flat" means that if you were to draw two lines across the universe, they would never meet, even if those lines were a billion light-years across. In a steeply curved universe, those lines would meet at some point in space.

Researchers then calculated how much matter the universe must have in order to be flat and produce the amount of normal matter (also calledbaryons) observed in the universe.

"I ask myself, 'Is the amount of matter I have equal to baryonic matter, and it's not," Kumar said.

There's now little dispute among cosmologists and astronomers that dark matter exists. Yet it seems unaffected by light, and it isn't charged like electrons or protons are. So far it has eluded direct detection.

"That's kind of the mystery," Kumar said. There are may ways scientists have tried to "see" dark matter – either via its interactions with normal matter or looking for particles that dark matter might become. "Those experiments are going to keep getting better, and don't seem to have any hiccups so far as they go to better detectors."

What we know it isn't

A number of theories have come and gone as to what dark matter is. One of the first was logical enough: The matter was hidden within massive astrophysical compact halo objects, or MACHOs, such as neutron stars, black holes, brown dwarfs and rogue planets. They don't emit light (or they emit only very little), so they are effectively invisible to telescopes. [The 9 Biggest Unsolved Mysteries in Physics]

Yet surveys of galaxies looking for small distortions in the light of background stars produced by a MACHO passing by — called microlensing events — couldn't account for the amount of dark matter around galaxies, or even a significant portion of it. "MACHOs seem as ruled out as ever," said Dan Hooper, an associate scientist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois.

Dark matter doesn't appear to be clouds of gas that telescopes wouldn't see, either. Diffuse gas would absorb light from the galaxies that are farther away, and on top of that, ordinary gas would re-emit radiation at longer wavelengths – there'd be a massive radiation of infrared light in the sky. Since that doesn't occur we can rule that out as well, Kumar said.

What it might be

Weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, are some of the strongest contenders to explain dark matter. WIMPs are heavy particles — about 10 to 100 times heavier than a proton — that were produced during the Big Bang, though just small quantities are left today. These particles interact with normal matter via gravity or the weak nuclear force. More massive WIMPs would move more slowly through space, and therefore be "cold" dark-matter candidates, while lighter ones would move faster, and be "warm" dark matter. [Wacky Physics: The Coolest Little Particles in Nature]

One way to find them is in "direct detection" experiments, such as the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment, which is a container of liquid xenon in a South Dakota mine. If a xenon nucleus seems to "bounce" with no explanation, that would be a candidate for getting hit with a dark-matter particle. The magnitude of the bounce would give an idea of the new particle's mass. But Hooper said that LUX hasn't seen anything yet.

Another way to see the WIMPs might be particle accelerators. Inside accelerators, atomic nuclei smash into each at near the speed of light, and in the process that energy of the collision gets turned into other particles, some new to science. So far, though, particle accelerators haven't detected anything that looks like a dark matter candidate, either.

Results from both direct detection and particle accelerators, however, have placed limits on the size and mass of this hypothetical dark-matter particle, Kumar said. The sensitivity of LUX is down to 200 MeV, or about a fifth of a proton's mass, and it could theoretically see particles as heavy as 1 TeV, which is comparable to some types of quarks. Since LUX saw nothing so far, that could well mean that dark matter isn't in that range.

Kumar said that it's possible that WIMPs are really heavy, and because they are so massive there just aren't that many of them, meaning the chance they'll hit a xenon atom is small.

Another possibility: axions. These subatomic particles could be detected indirectly by the kinds of radiation they emit as they annihilate or as they decay into other kinds of particles, or appear in particle accelerators. Yet there hasn't been any direct evidence of axions, either.

Since detecting heavy, slow-moving "cold" particles, like WIMPs or axions, hasn't yielded results yet, some scientists are looking at the possibility of lighter, faster-moving particles, which they call "warm" dark matter. There has been a renewed interest in such a dark-matter model after scientists found evidence of an unknown particle, using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, in the Perseus cluster, a group of galaxies about 250 million light-years from Earth. The known ions in that cluster produce certain X-ray emission lines, and in 2014, scientists saw a new "line" that may correspond to an unknown lightweight particle, Nicola Menci, an astrophysicist at Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), told Live Science in an email.

If dark-matter particles are light, scientists are going to have a difficult time detecting them directly, said Tracy Slatyer, a physicist at MIT. Slatyer has proposed new kinds of particles that might make up dark matter.

"Dark matter with [a] mass below about 1 GeV is really hard to detect with conventional direct detection experiments, because they work by looking for the unexplained recoils of atomic nuclei… but when the dark matter is much lighter than the atomic nucleus, the recoil energy is very small," Slatyer said. Protons — a hydrogen nucleus — can't be any lighter than about 938 MeV, so a particle that weighs in the keV range would be 1,000 times lighter. "Think bouncing a ping-pong ball off a bowling ball; the bowling ball doesn't move very much," she said.

Slatyer said there is a lot of research being done on how to find dark-matter particles if current methods fail. Using "superfluid" liquid helium, semiconductors and even breaking of chemical bonds in crystals, are among the ideas being floated.

Kumar said one reason dark matter is so mysterious is precisely that physicists feel that they understand, to a point, how the Big Bang nucleosynthesis ― the origins of matter ― worked. The Standard Model, which predicted the Higgs boson, has been very successful so far, so unless they've all been really wrong about something fundamental it's odd that nobody has managed to detect a dark-matter particle yet.

If, for example, dark-matter particles are very different from what many current models predict, it's possible that particle accelerators wouldn't have seen it. Accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider are better at seeing things that interact with the strong nuclear force, which decay into other particles.

"If that's the way your dark matter works it's a great machine to find it," he said. "But if there isn't a heavier particle like that it's harder."

Russia’s secret UFO files: Soviet Union waged Cold War conflict with aliens

alien-russia-secret-alien-files

It is believed that the Soviet Union was engaged in a conflict with aliens. Russian contact with aliens happened during 1940s and 1950s.

During the 1940s and 1950s UFO-mania gripped the US as reports of flying saucers, men in black and alien abductions filled newspaper pages.

Around the same time the Soviets also began to have increasing contact with apparent aliens and growing reports of spacecraft entering airspace over Russia.

Soviet-born UFO researcher and author Paul Stonehill told Daily Star Online: “The Soviets were shocked so many UFOs could penetrate their borders and basically just do what they wanted without any control from the Kremlin.

“There were many more cases of direct encounters than in the United States, and anything which was flying over the Soviet Union was very interested in secret military installations.”

Throughout the Cold War and the space race Soviet forces frequently clashed with UFOs.

Mr Stonehill said: “The Kremlin was paranoid but they could not do anything about it.

“They tried on several occasions where orders were given out from on high to shoot down UFOs, or local commanders would take it upon themselves.

“However, it always ended badly for them.”

The researcher, whose articles have been published in 11 languages, unearthed a culture of total secrecy over the phenomena in the Soviet Union.

Kremlin bigwigs would pass off any public reports of the phenomena as a “hoax perpetrated by the Western powers”.

A secret research programme called SETKA was established in 1977 after the Petrozavodsk incident in which 48 UFOs appeared in the atmosphere across the Soviet Union.

The incident came to a head in the industrial city of Petrozavodsk when a huge glowing object appeared overhead – seemingly beaming shafts of light towards the Earth.

The aim of the programme was to work out what the UFOs were – with Soviet higher-ups acknowledging the craft could not be of Earth-bound origin.

Stonehill said much of the archives of the programme remain under lock and key, but he added it was passed down between the communist state’s top military minds and scientists.

Forms were also then handed to any soviet soldier, sailor or airmen who reported a UFO encounter for them to file fully detailed reports.

He said: “It was prolific enough to really make you wonder just how much the Soviets knew”.

A bloody encounter between an alien craft and Soviet forces occurred in 1953 shortly after the death of Joseph Stalin.

The large UFO, initially thought by witnesses to be a “blimp of dirigible”, appeared above the Taiga in Siberia.

Soviet military chiefs dispatched a military special detachment to the area.

When they attempted to engage the craft with aircraft the three Soviet planes just “burned away”, says Mr Stonehill.

A secret order was issued to Soviet forces during the mid-1960s giving Russian commanders strict instructions to “not shoot at UFOs, leave them alone”.

Mr Stonehill said: “The aliens would fight back and destroy whatever unit would shoot at them.

“They would disintegrate planes, and in some cases the UFOs also acted first.”

He added: “No government wants to be powerless in the face of a threat, and it got to the case of the Soviets being very scared.”

But despite these violent clashes, he says most Soviet encounters were characterised by alien craft simply “observing” activity.

He said: “It was as if they were under a microscope. There were reports of UFOs present at most, if not all, of the Soviet space launches.

“The craft seemed to know about the space ports and the secret facilities.”

However, he added the motivations of whoever is piloting the UFOs remains a mystery.

Mr Stonehill has spoken to former military intelligence personnel, government officials and Soviet scientists to reveal the depths of the Soviet UFO encounters.

He has had numerous books published on the subject such as Mysterious Sky: Soviet UFO Phenomenon, Soviet UFO Files and UFO Case Files of Russia.

His most recent publication deals with the related “USO encounters” in Soviet seas as the Russian navy encountered unexplained objects beneath the seas.

Marslander mogelijk ontploft na duikvlucht naar planeet - HLN.be

Bron: Belga

RUIMTEVAART Marslander Schiaparelli is waarschijnlijk gevonden. Gisteravond publiceerde ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA beelden die de Amerikaanse Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter heeft gemaakt. Op de weinig gedetailleerde zwartwitopnamen is een zwarte stip te zien en een kleinere wittevlek met nog enkele verstoringen.

Uit de beelden zou blijken dat de Europese Marslander Schiaparelli woensdag op de Rode Planeet is neergestort en mogelijk ontploft, zo maakt het Europese Ruimtevaartbureau ESA bekend.

De zwarte stip op de foto is waarschijnlijk de gecrashte marslander Schiaparelli en de kleinere witte vlek de parachute waaraan hij naar beneden is gekomen. Hoewel de beelden weinig details bevatten, weet ESA zo goed als zeker dat het de marslander betreft, omdat de opnamen zijn gemaakt in het landingsgebied van de sonde, en doordat de stip in het marslandschap er eerder niet was.

"Jammer, maar we moeten vaststellen dat de sonde niet succesrijk is geland", zei directeur-generaal Jan Wörner aan het Duitse persbureau DPA.

In het kader van de eerste Europees-Russische Marsmissie ExoMars moest de Schiaparelli (of EDM in het ESA-ees) woensdag landen op het oppervlak van onze buurplaneet, met name in het gebied Meridiani Planum. Maar kort voor het neerstrijken viel het contact met de sonde uit.

Op een persbriefing zei ESA donderdagochtend niet te weten wat er met de lander was gebeurd. Maar zoals de gezaghebbende website russianspaceweb.com gisteren al had gemeld, heeft de MRO foto's genomen van het landingsgebied en daar iets gevonden dat er bij een eerdere opname, in mei, niet lag.

De vrije val zou op 4 tot 2 kilometer hoogte zijn begonnen, waardoor de robot met meer dan 300 kilometer per uur op het Marsoppervlak is neergekomen. Mogelijk is het tuig dan ontploft omdat de tanks van de remraketten wellicht nog vol staken.

Massa's data

ESA beklemtoont dat er meer analyse nodig is en heeft er vertrouwen in dat de teams "met grote accuraatheid" de keten van gebeurtenissen zullen kunnen reconstrueren.

Volgende week zal de HiRISE-camera op de MRO met zijn hogere resolutie het impactgebied opnieuw bekijken. Mogelijk zal de sonde dan ook het voorste hitteschild vinden dat op grotere hoogte is afgeworpen.

ESA beklemtoonde gisteren toch tevreden te zijn omdat de Schiaparelli een demonstrator was voor de twee robots die in het kader van het tweede luik van ExoMars moeten landen. Het tuig heeft een massa data over de afdaling in de Martiaanse atmosfeer doorgestuurd, in het bijzonder het AMELIA-instrument waarbij ook wetenschappers van de Koninklijke Belgische Sterrenwacht (KSB) betrokken zijn, en via de "orbiter" TGO die woensdag ongeveer tegelijkertijd succesvol in een baan op de Rode Planeet is gekomen. Ook waren er metingen met een radiotelescoop en de Europese Mars Express die sinds 2003 succesrijk rond Mars wentelt.

Op die "Trace Gas Obiter" staat het Belgische NOMAD-instrument dat het sporengas methaan in de Martiaanse atmosfeer meet vanuit de existentiële vraag of het een geologische dan wel biologische oorsprong heeft. De TGO functioneert ondertussen "zeer goed" en zal volgende maand twee keer ijkdata vergaren, zegt ESA.

Eerder op de dag meldde het doorgaans betrouwbare russianspaceweb.com dat software ervoor verantwoordelijk zou zijn dat de remraketten van de Schiaparelli onvoldoende lang werkten. Het communiqué van ESA zegt daarover enkel dat "de exacte aard van de anomalie aan boord van de Schiaparelli nog voorwerp van onderzoek is".

In 2003 mislukte ook de landing van de dochtersonde van de Mars Express, de in wezen Britse Beagle-2.

Nieuwe studie toont aan dat er 40 jaar geleden waarschijnlijk tóch leven werd gevonden op Mars - HLN.be

Bron: Forbes, liebertpub.com

© afp.

Amerikaanse wetenschappers hebben nieuw licht geworpen op een Marsmissie van 40 jaar geleden en dat zou verstrekkende gevolgen kunnen hebben. In een bodemstaal werden toen sporen gevonden die op leven konden duiden, maar het resultaat werd alom in twijfel getrokken omdat controletests geen duidelijk uitsluitsel gaven. Nieuw onderzoek toont nu aan dat de oorspronkelijke onderzoekers het tóch bij het juiste eind gehad zouden kunnen hebben.

© epa.

De nieuwe studie werd uitgevoerd door Gilbert Levin van de universiteit van Arizona en Patricia Ann Straat van het Nationaal Gezondheidsinstituut in Bethesda, Maryland. Allebei waren ze ook betrokken bij de oorspronkelijke missie van de Vikingsatellieten en hun landers in 1976. Het was toen de meest ambitieuze poging van de wetenschap om de rode planeet te verkennen.

Vikings
In maart 1976 kwamen de twee Vikings in een baan rond Mars, iets minder dan een jaar nadat ze op aarde waren vertrokken. Ze brachten als eerste de volledige oppervlakte van de planeet in kaart en ontdekten aanwijzingen dat er water op de planeet was. Of toch ooit was geweest.

Op 20 juli zette de eerste Vikinglander een poot aan de grond op Mars, zes weken later ook de tweede, zo'n 4.000 kilometer verderop. Ze zouden drie tests uitvoeren en als er ook maar één positief zou zijn, zou geconcludeerd kunnen worden dat de rode planeet bewoond was.

Geluk
De eerste test - waarbij de bodem werd verhit en de moleculen werden gemeten die in gas veranderden - was negatief. En ook de tweede - waarbij aan een bodemstaal helium, water en voedingsstoffen werden toegevoegd om te zien of er een teken van leven was - kwam negatief terug. Maar bij de derde test hadden de wetenschappers meer geluk.

Bij die test werden voedingsstoffen toegevoegd aan een bodemstaal en vervolgens gelabeld met het radioactieve C14. Als er leven was, zou dat laatste element veranderen in radioactief kooldioxide, zoals op aarde. En dat gebeurde, bij de stalen van allebei de landers.

Controletest
Een controletest - die moest uitmaken of het resultaat biologisch was of misschien eerder een chemisch proces - was echter niet duidelijk en dat bracht alom twijfel of er nu echt leven was gevonden of niet. De experimenten werden nooit verder gezet, dus het resultaat bleef onbeslist.

Maar volgens de nieuwe studie zouden resultaten van ándere wetenschappelijke experimenten die sindsdien op Mars werden uitgevoerd - op zoek naar water, methaan en andere organische elementen - wel degelijk wijzen in de richting van leven. "Leven is waarschijnlijk op Mars", schrijven de auteurs. "We zullen het evenwel nooit met zekerheid weten, want de stalen van de Vikings - die als eerste op Mars landden - zijn de enige waarvan we zeker weten dat ze niet besmet waren met aardse microben. Als we nu teruggaan, kunnen al sporen van leven gevonden worden die de afgelopen jaren werden achtergelaten bij allerhande missies naar de rode planeet."

Landing Marssonde Schiaparelli ging op laatste moment mis - HLN.be

VIDEO Toch nog goed nieuws voor Europa: de marslander Schiaparelli is geland op de rode planeet. De vraag is alleen: hoe? Gisteren moest Schiaparelli aankomen op de rode planeet, maar tijdens de afdaling raakte het contact met de robot verloren. Er is iets misgelopen bij het afwerpen van het valscherm. Of en hoe het tuig de landing heeft overleefd is nog onduidelijk.

© anp.

De vluchtleiding in het Duitse Darmstadt kreeg nu pas na lang wachten het verlossende signaal dat de lander op Mars staat.

De data van Schiaparelli die verzameld werd tijdens de landing, een 600 kilogram zware robot, is ontvangen door het moederschip. Dit betekent dat alle hardware geactiveerd is. Volgens de European Space Agency (ESA) is dat het meest belangrijke deel van Schiaparelli. Alle fases van de landing zijn volgens de planning verlopen, behalve de landing zelf. Daar reageerde de lander anders dan verwacht, aldus ESA.

Tot nu toe is niet bevestigd of Schiaparelli zacht geland is, of dat het om een crash-landing gaat. Daarmee is dus niet duidelijk of de marslander nog intact is. "Je hebt een beetje geluk nodig om te slagen", aldus Andrea Accomazzo, het hoofd van de ExoMars-missie. De werking van het hitteschild was voorbeeldig, maar die van de remmende parachute niet. De vluchtleiding bestudeert de signalen daarvan nog, zo deelde de ESA vandaag mee.

TGO
ESA plaatste gisteren een satelliet genaamd Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) in een baan rond Mars en liet de zogenaamde ExoMars landen. Schiaparelli moest rond 16.48 uur Belgische tijd op het oppervlak aankomen.

De robot en de satelliet zijn de afgelopen maanden samen naar Mars gevlogen, met als doel om onder meer de dampkring van onze buurplaneet te onderzoeken. Zo speurt de Trace Gas Orbiter vooral naar methaan, een gas dat kan wijzen op minieme vormen van leven. De missie wordt samen met Rusland uitgevoerd.

2020
De landing van de Schiaparelli is in de eerste plaats bedoeld om de technologie te testen voor deel twee van de missie. Europa en Rusland willen namelijk rond 2020 weer naar Mars. In dat jaar moet een onbemande verkenner naar de rode planeet worden gebracht. Die kan over het oppervlak rijden en metersdiepe gaten boren, op zoek naar meer sporen van leven.

Expert: Ruimtesonde Voyager 2 van de NASA ‘gekaapt’ door aliens

Er gaan verhalen rond dat de onbemande ruimtesonde Voyager 2 is gekaapt door aliens. Op 22 april 2010 ontstond er een probleem met de communicatie tussen de aarde en de sonde.

De Voyager, die al sinds 1977 in de ruimte is, stuurde signalen naar de aarde die niet te ontcijferen waren. Een bitje was spontaan van 0 naar 1 gesprongen. NASA resette de computer van de ruimtesonde, die sindsdien weer naar behoren lijkt te werken.

De Duitse academicus Hartwig Hausdorf stelde dat Voyager 2 vreemde signalen stuurde omdat de sonde was overgenomen door buitenaards leven.

Niet de hele waarheid

Sinds de lancering stuurde Voyager 2 continu gegevens naar de aarde, maar op 22 april 2010 kwam daar plotseling verandering in. NASA claimde dat er problemen waren met de software aan boord van de sonde, maar Hausdorf zei dat het mogelijk ging om het werk van aliens.

Hij merkte op dat alle andere delen van het ruimteschip normaal functioneerden. “Het lijkt erop dat iemand de sonde heeft gekaapt of opnieuw heeft geprogrammeerd,” vertelde de expert aan de Duitse krant Bild. “We kennen dus misschien nog niet de hele waarheid.”

Gouden plaat

Aan de Voyager 2 is een gouden plaat bevestigd, die begroetingen van aardbewoners in 55 talen en geluiden van de natuur op aarde bevat.

Deze plaat is een soort tijdcapsule, bedoeld als boodschap aan buitenaardse levensvormen, aldus dr. Edward Stone, die meewerkte aan het project.

British Cop Witnesses TALL WHITE Aliens Inspecting Fresh Crop Circl

British Cop Witnesses TALL WHITE Aliens Inspecting Fresh Crop Circle

Not many people know this, but back in 2009 a British police officer witnessed ‘Alien Beings’ inspecting a fresh crop circle in a middle of a field!

The Police Sergeant who has not been named, witnessed the event back in 2009. The Policeman was off duty at the time when he noticed the unusual ‘Beings’ in the field.

The Police Officer pulled his car over and walked over to the field to see what was going on as he apparently had a ‘strange’ feeling about what he was seeing. However, as he approached the ‘men’ – who were all way over 6ft tall with long blond hair – he suddenly heard “the sound of static electricity” and the trio ran away ”faster than any man he had ever seen” so fast that it apparently almost seemed ‘unreal’.

-...PIC: Lucy Pringle/apexnewspix.com 29/05/2009. View of an intricate crop circle sculpted into a sea of barley beneath Windmill Hill near Devizes, Wilts. The graceful formation measures approx' 350ft in length and consists of a centre circle with two large and two small arcs extended and connected by circles of decreasing size. The green and golden fields of the world's crop circle capital of Wiltshire have spawned an array of patterns in the past that have continued to fascinate those who seek them out. ** SEE STORY BY APEX NEWS - 01392 823144 **

Many crop circles, including this one in May 2009, have appeared near Silbury Hill, Wiltshire

Leaving the scene of the strange event the Police Officer jumped quickly back into his car and travelled back home to Marlborough, Wiltshire, and then contacted paranormal experts and told them he had spotted a UFO.

Not surprisingly the Police force that the Officer works for, refused to comment at the time and stated “That it was a personal matter!”

The unnamed Police Officer asked for support off a Gentleman called Andrew Russell who is a Crop Circle Investigator.

Andrew described in detail what the Police officer saw on that unusual day:

”At first he thought they were forensic officers as they were dressed in white coveralls. He stopped his car and approached the field. ‘The figures were all over 6ft and had blond hair. They seemed to be inspecting the crop. When he got to the edge of the field he heard what he believed to be a sound not dissimilar to static electricity.

”This crackling noise seemed to be running through the field and the crop was moving gently, close to where the noise was.

”He shouted to the figures who, at first, ignored him, not glancing at him. When he tried to enter the field they looked up and began running.

”He said; ‘They ran faster than any man I have ever seen. I’m no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone.

”I then got scared. The noise was still around but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car. For the rest of the day I had a pounding headache I couldn’t shift.”

This strange incident happened on July 6th as the Police Officer was driving down the road. Apparently the three very tall figures were inspecting the odd-shaped Crop Circle in the field. They all appeared deeply interested and analysing the Crop Circle – was it them who made it, or possibly was it their fellow colleagues from a far!?

The crop circle had been there in the field for a few days before this incident.

2009 was a very popular year for Crop Circles in the Wiltshire area, UK.

When the Police Officer walked over the unusual beings, they suddenly become ‘disturbed’ looking and ran off at speeds beyond the Officers belief! As soon as he looked away for a split second they were ‘gone’

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said:

”The police officer was apparently off duty when this happened so we have no comment to make because it is a personal not a police matter.”

Another Crop Circle Expert, Colin Andrews, who investigated the incident alongside Andrew Russell, said he is ”convinced” by the police officer’s story and does not see any reason at all why the Officer would of made this story up!

”I am quite convinced the officer had an experience that day and one that we have not fully explored.”I think with the unusual movement of the being and the poltergeist experiences there is too much additional information to say that is something in nothing.” He said

Some have suspected that this was the Tall White Aliens that the Officer had witnessed. The Tall whites have even been acknowledged by Edward Snowden, who believes that they are very much in contact with Planet Earth and watching our every move.

The Tall Whites

U.I.P SUMMARY –

It is very interesting that this sighting was in Wiltshire, as this is one of the key UFO/Crop Circle areas around the world (please click HERE for more information on this). Could it possibly be that what this Police Officer saw were the Beings who are responsible for these crop circles being formed around the UK, or perhaps they are just as curious as to ‘what else’ is out there trying to communicate with Earth.

Yes Crop Circles have been deemed by many to be elaborate fakes by students or Drunk Famers at night, but when you actually look at the sheer amount of detail involved to these incredible designs, I personally feel it is impossible for any humans to create such a spectacle over night, in the pitch black of night!

Some people believe that Crop Circles were made by Orbs – please see a video below of an ‘apparent’ Orb caught on camera making a crop circle:

As far as what or WHO these Beings are, is a completely different matter altogether! The way that they have been described sounds just like the Tall White Aliens, and the way they move would kind of confirm that there were no odd-ball humans, but something else, something very unique and different!?

Is it a coincidence that one of the most unknown areas of the world, Stonehenge, is in Wiltshire, and that we have so many unusual sightings in this part of the UK……I don’t think so, and this is why this part of the world is one of THE top UFO Hotspots.

Hope to see you all at the end of August at one of the UK’s main UFO event – Warminster 2015

Alien Species Working With Our Governments

alien-main-642184

Hundreds of sightings, abductions and first-hand accounts have made it possible to distinguish several distinct alien species that have been in cahoots with military forces, deciding our future without ever consulting us. Below are some of the least obscure ones we could find.

1. The Sirians

Hailing from the Sirius B star system, the Sirians are as advanced as they are ancient. Throughout history, they have imparted their knowledge to human civilizations of their choosing. They gifted the ancient Egyptians with medical and astronomical information and the great pyramids and temples are said to have been built with their help.

The Mayans also had a special relationship with the Sirians, who shared information with this enigmatic South American civilization. The extraterrestrials originating from Sirius B are believed to have played a part in the disappearance of the Maya. They are accredited with leaving behind amazing artefacts such as the crystal skulls.

Another earthly civilization that benefited from the Sirian presence were the Atlanteans; it is believed that during the cataclysmic event that sunk Atlantis, the Sirians were instrumental in leading the rescue operations. Other civilizations have been influenced by the Sirians, the most notable case being that of the Dogon tribe of West Africa.

Although they were more involved during our planet’s past, nowadays the Sirian’s supposedly play a more subtle role through technology exchange programs. They are often mentioned in connection with covert or exotic weapons research as well as time travel experimentation.

2. The Short Grays

yaldabaoth-reptilian-lord-of-archons

Also known as the Zeta Reticulums, the Grays are some of the most well-known aliens. They are commonly depicted throughout alien pop culture and are the culprits of most alien abductions.

According to most descriptions, they stand 3 to 5 feet tall, have bulbous heads and over-sized black eyes. Although they possess a mouth, they seldom speak, as most communication is carried out telepathically. The short Grays are said to be a genetically-engineered worker race that are controlled by their superiors, the Tall Grays. Their telepathic abilities allow them to constitute a type of hive mind consciousness.

Being genetically-designed to carry out scientific missions, the short Grays are emotionless and cruel. They are also responsible for creating a human-gray hybrid race.

3. The Tall Grays

394d5ea96cfd3455b8488728b09821ba7ceb3bdd

Standing 7 to 8 feet tall, hairless, and pale, the Gray Masters are the ambassadors of most meetings between human and alien forces. They represent both human and gray biological material combined, and therefore play a lead role in assisting the Short Grays with interacting with humanity. This species is involved in many genetic experiments, and there has now been a hybrid human-Gray race created, containing mind control and diplomatic agreements with the ‘shadow government,’ to which they represent. Sources claim they originate from a star system in the Orion constellation.

The Tall Grays supervise all abductions and human experiments but are seldom present during these events. They prefer to employ the services of their minions, the Short Grays. As it would seem, they are keen on developing a stable human-gray hybrid race, one worthy of inheriting Earth.

An advanced, self-centred race, they place little value on human life. They consider us their property.

4. The Alpha-Draconians

reptilian-jupiter-ascending-e1434713954266

Corrupt and vicious, the Alpha-Draconians infiltrated human society thousands of years ago, and are the oldest known reptilian race in our galaxy. Although they came to Earth from their colonies on Alpha Draconis, their original home world is unknown.

They lay eggs and use a “battle hormone” to accelerate the birthing process. They are a duality. This is why ancestral females do not participate in war, because if they did, there wouldn’t be anybody there to help with the eggs. They also have to be there to secrete their hormone. I am only sharing with you what I know about them through years of research.

A decidedly giant reptilian species, they measure anywhere from 14 to 22 feet tall and weigh an estimated 1,800 pounds of mostly muscle. They can be compared to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. These Alpha-Draconians have black leathery brown scale bellies; whiskers along their chin and jaw line and have multiple abdomens. They are an intelligent race with large heads and reptilian eyes. Some accounts describe them as having tails or even wings and they are, in fact, the only genetic line of their ancestry that is not extinct.

Contactee Alex Collier says he was allowed to share some details about these extraterrestrials:

The Draconians are the force behind the repression of human populations everywhere in this galaxy, instilling fear-based belief systems and restrictive hierarchies.

[…] they’re extremely clairvoyant and extremely clever, and they can also be extremely sinister.”

The Draconians view themselves as the first intelligent species to evolve in the Milky Way galaxy. Competitive and expansive, they have populated many worlds. Their immense egos allow them to see themselves as the rightful rulers of lesser evolved worlds such as Earth.

Their continuous exploitation of the human race proves they consider us an inferior species.

Reports say there are actually two types of Alpha-Draconians divided into two castes: the giant ones are part of a royal caste called the Ciakar while the smaller ones (8 feet tall) form a well-trained warrior class.

5. The Native Reptilians

Often confused with the warrior caste of the Alpha Draconians, these reptilians are said to be native to Earth. Typically, Reptilians are described as being 6 to 8 feet tall, bipedal, with green scaly skin, body odor and large eyes with a vertical pupil. The little information available for this species states that they were originally left behind by the Alpha-Draconians to colonize Earth.

Their interaction with mankind goes back thousands of years, sometimes offering assistance but more often than not using us as a commodity. They have infiltrated almost all aspects of human life and hold positions of power. Several ancient peoples all over the world have described reptilian beings, acting hostile towards human beings. Common Reptilians manipulate our elites and rule our institutions and organizations. They built our current financial system and influence all religions.

The underground reptilian race is also said to control the media and all corporations. They are behind most crimes against humanity.

6. The Anunnaki

01-anunnaki-earth

According to scientists, there is a 12th planet in our solar system (known as the possible ‘Planet X’). They refer to this planet as Nibiru, which is located somewhere beyond Pluto. This planet, unlike any other planet in our solar system, has an elliptical orbit and moves clockwise rather than counter clockwise. It is said that the collision of Nibiru and another planet in our solar system (Maldek) was what created Earth.

This planet is inhabited by the Anunnaki, who landed on Earth, and originally colonized it. They first came with the intention of mining Earth for gold and other minerals, and live a kind of idealistic society in a small colony. Before heading to Earth, the Anunnaki colonized the planets in the Orion star system.

In need of a workforce, they are said to have created mankind. Through genetic manipulation and in vitro fertilization, they upgraded the genus Homo to sapiens quality. Present on Earth since our inception, the Anunnaki have influenced every aspect of human life. We’ve inherited their patriarchal culture of violence and vengeance; it’s in our engineered DNA.

The Anunnaki are in direct competition with the Draconians for control over mankind.

U.I.P Summary:

It is rather revolting that the governments, controlled by the Bilderberg Group and the Illuminati, have given the green light to different alien species to take control over humanity, experimenting on us, kidnapping us, even starting some wars! But what the greedy elite don’t realise is that some species will enslave us to work for them and maybe become food, it might even have started already…

600 meter UFO Seen Over Colima Volcano, Mexico Caught By Streetcap1 On Live Cam, UFO Sightings Daily.

Date of sighting: Oct 23, 2016
Location of sighting: Colima, Mexico

The mouth of this volcano is approximately 600 meters, and the UFOs distance directly matches that, thus the UFO is 600+ meters across. Colima is a volcano in Mexico that frequently has UFOs near it and even recorded coming out of it. Its known to UFO researchers as one of the main alien base in the country of Mexico, that and the one 4-5km below Popocatepetl volcano not far away.
Excellent find by Streetcap1 of Youtube.

Draculas Castle Has UFO In 15th Century Painting Over His Castle, Is Dracula An Alien?, Photos, UFO Sighting News

Date of article: October 2014
Source article:

http://www.inquisitr.com/1564936/ufo-seen-in-15th-century-painting-from-birthplace-of-dracula-vlad-tepes-what-does-this-mean/

Now a lot of blogs are posting this discovery as new, when it was actually discovered back in 2014 and posted by the Inquisitr.com

Check out this amazing discovery of a UFO in a painting over the house of Dracula. This UFO does explain a lot. What if the stories of Dracula drinking blood to stay alive are true? Then him being an alien would make sense. I have heard that there are a few alien species that feed off of humans. Every story has a grain of truth...especially if it stands the test of time.
Scott C. Waring

Inquisitor states:
A UFO appears to hover over a building that may be connected to the real-life Dracula in a recently uncovered painting from the town of Sighisoara, Romania. A photo of the mysterious painting that appears on the wall of a 700-year-old monastery was snapped this summer by tourist Catalina Borta, who sent it to a prominent UFO research group for evaluation.

The bizarre painting shows what appears to be a church — perhaps the same one where the painting was found — seemingly engulfed in flames. Over the church, a large, floating disc hovers, sending a column of smoke billowing toward the sky above. (More at source).

Author Says Elon Musk’s Mars Plan Is a "1920s Sci-Fi Cliché"

Elon Musk, co-founder and CEO of Tesla Motors, speaks at the 2015 Automotive News World Congress January 13, 2015 in Detroit, Michigan. More than 5,000 journalists from around the world will see approximately 45 new vehicles unveiled during the 2015 NAIAS, which opens to the public January 17 and concludes January 25.

Elon Musk is a dreamer, and that’s a good thing, because it takes people with big dreams to do crazy things like travel to Mars. However, a famous science fiction author, who has written about the Red Planet extensively, says that theSpaceX CEO’s plans are, themselves, the stuff of outlandish fiction.

Kim Stanley Robinson, a Hugo Award-winning novelist, who wrote about colonizing Mars in his Mars trilogy — Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars — spoke to Bloomberg about Musk’s big plans. He was unimpressed.

“Musk’s plan is sort of the 1920s science-fiction cliché of the boy who builds a rocket to the moon in his backyard, combined with the Wernher von Braun plan, as described in the Disney TV programs of the 1950s. A fun, new story,” he said.

Somebody get Musk some aloe vera.

The 64-year-old thought that Musk’s plans, which could involve manned, one-way missions to Mars within a decade that cost $100,000 to $200,000 per ticket, were “not believable, which makes it a hard exercise to think about further.”

“Mars will never be a single-person or single-company effort,” he continued. “It will be multi-national, and take lots of money and lots of years.”

Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy.

Robinson also thought that sending people to live the rest of their lives on Mars, before we have any idea what prolonged exposure to Martian gravity and the elements does to a person, was a bad idea. He was further incensed by the idea of colonizing Mars to be a “lifeboat” for Earth, since we’re screwing up our home planet real bad.

“It’s important to say that the idea of Mars as a lifeboat is wrong, in both a practical and a moral sense,” he said. “There is no Planet B.”

Musk, who is a big sci-fi nerd, must be crushed. On the other hand, though, Musk mostly seems to know what he’s doing, and might just be crazy enough to pull it off.

The Key to Dinosaur Extinction Might Be Hidden on the Moon

The Key to Dinosaur Extinction Might Be Hidden on the Moon

It was the end of the world as they knew it.

Jacqueline Rons

The enigma has haunted humanity since the first giant bone was found poking from the ground: How the hell did the dinosaurs just die? Scientists are hoping the answer lies within the moon’s Schrödinger Basin, which has a lot to tell us about what happens when gigantic asteroids hit heavenly spheres.

Sixty-five million years ago, Chicxulub — we’re not sure whether to call it an asteroid or comet — struck our planet, setting off a catastrophic series of events that ultimately killed off nearly all the dinosaurs. It left a crater 110 miles across, but it’s hard to see, buried under a kilometer of sediment deposited since then by geological and hydrological processes.

Not so on the moon, where the lack of flowing water means asteroid impacts stay intact over time. “If one wants to imagine how the Chicxulub crater looked soon after impact, one only needs to peer at the Schrödinger basin on the Moon,” says David Kring of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in a release.

The moon's Schrödinger basin. According to lunar convention, craters more than 186 miles across are called basins.

New research led by Kring and published in Nature Communications sheds new insight on the Schrödinger event on the moon and its implications for Earth’s own deep history.

About 3.8 billion years ago, when the Schrödinger impactor struck the moon, it excavated a hole maybe 20 miles deep, ejecting rock and magma in a sheet that rose 12 miles above the lunar surface before collapsing, leaving a crater 200 miles across, with an internal ring of jagged mountain peaks 1.5 miles high. This would have all gone down in less than an hour.

Earth’s own impact event would have looked similar, the research suggests, although it would have occurred even more quickly because of the stronger gravity. Imagine watching the event from a safe distance — the deep hole in the planet, the rising tide of red-hot molten rock, the sudden formation of a ring of towering mountains. That is some straight up Mordor shit.

The dinosaurs would not have all died right away, although those within several hundred miles of the impact site certainly would have been toast. The immediate aftermath was earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis. Molten rock would have rained down on the planet, at great distances from the impact sites, causing enormous forest fires.

The dust from the event would have plunged the planet into darkness that might have lasted six months, and disrupted photosynthesis for a year, dramatically decreasing global temperatures, perhaps freezing some parts of the planet solid. Those who survived all of this would still contend with new toxic chemicals in the air and rain. And when the freeze lifted, there was probably a period of global warming that continued for centuries, ultimately rising temperatures well above what they were before the impact.

When all was said and done, maybe three quarters of all species on Earth were gone forever. And among the dinosaurs, only birds survived. (Perhaps, according to one recent theory, because they ate seeds when all the plants had died.)

It was the end for the enormous and awe-inspiring creatures that come to mind when we think of dinosaurs, but it was also a beginning for those survivors that would go on to adapt to the new conditions and inherit the Earth, including our very own distant ancestors.

The Universe is Far Bigger Than We Thought, and It Has 10x More Galaxies

NASA/ESA

IN BRIEF

It turns out the observable universe has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid 1990s Hubble Deep Field images count of about 100 to 200 billion.
The development of more advanced space telescopes in the future could unveil even more of the observable universe.

THE EXPANDED UNIVERSE

It turns out, what we call the observable universe — the part visible within our cosmological horizon, A.K.A. the final frontier — has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid 1990s Hubble Deep Field images count of about 100 to 200 billion.

Using collected data from various deep space images from the Hubble Space Telescope and other sources, an international team of scientists led by Christopher Conselice from the University of Nottingham, UK, created a 3D map of the known universe. Mathematical models were used to calculate for galaxies current telescopes cannot yet observe. These showed that, to make sense of the numbers and the maps, about 90% of galaxies are far, far away and too faint to be seen clearly.

The map recreates, as accurately as possible, different times in the universe’s history as far back as 13 billion years in its past. Accordingly, when the universe was several billion years younger than today, it contained 10 more galaxies per unit volume. Galaxies decrease in number (and increase in size) as the billion years go by. “This gives us a verification of the so-called top-down formation of structure in the universe,” Conselice explains.

This helps answer Olbers’ Paradox (why the night sky remains dark, despite the many stars). The myriad of stars within the billions of galaxies invisible to the human eye because ofredshifting of light, the universe’s dynamic nature, and intergalactic dust and gas absorbing light. This keeps the night sky mostly dark — keeping the night sky mostly dark.

BIGGER SPACE FOR LIFE

“It boggles the mind that over 90% of the galaxies in the universe have yet to be studied. Who knows what interesting properties we will find when we observe these galaxies with the next generation of telescopes,” explains Conselice about the far-reaching implications of the new results.

The development of more advanced space telescopes in the future, beginning with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2018, would certainly help us see the observable universe clearly. Who knows what remains lurking just by that expanded frontier of space.

In any case, a larger known universe means an even wider space to accommodate the search for possible extraterrestrial life. Why not? Every time we think that we understand more of it, the universe seems to always surprise us with more.

IN BRIEF

Evidence from the Viking landers from the 1970s shows that we could have overlooked some evidence for life on the planet.
Finding any confirmation of life on Mars is very unlikely, but the ability to rake another look at promising evidence is an important backbone of science.

REVIEWING THE DATA

With all the attention Mars has been getting lately, scientists have been revisiting data from past mission to the red planet. Data from the Viking landings show evidence of of water,organic molecules, and methane. This increase in the potential signs of ancient life on Mars prompted researchers Gilbert V. Levin from Arizona State University and Patricia Ann Straat from the US National Institutes of Health to reexamine data from NASA’s 1976 Mars Viking landings.

The researchers found traces of ambiguous chemical signals (radioactive ¹⁴CO2 isotope) in Martian soil collected in 1976 by the Viking landers. They don’t claim that the landers (whose locations were 6,500 km (4,000 miles) apart) definitively found life on Mars.

“[I]n the absence of a non-biological agent that satisfies all Viking findings, and in view of environmental evidence that Mars may well be able to support extant life, it seems prudent that the scientific community maintain biology as a viable explanation of the LR experimental results,” the researchers say, going against the widely-accepted opinion that Viking labeled release (LR) experiment on soil collected by the landers didn’t show signs biological processes.

AN UNLIKELY SCENARIO

“Even if one is not convinced that the Viking results give strong evidence for life on Mars, this paper clearly shows that the possibility must be considered. We cannot rule out the biological explanation,” said Chris McKay, NASA astrobiologist senior editor of Astrobiology that published the study.

It’s true that recent studies reveal that Mars had large swaths of water. And we believe that, ifthe circumstances for life in other planets is similar to Earth, water can point to the existence of life. Yet, given that it water on Mars disappeared some 3 billion years ago, it is highly unlikely for the 1976 Viking landings to have found extant life.

Still, the researchers remain hopeful: “Life may therefore still exist, if only in a cryptobiotic state, subject to resuscitation whenever water becomes available.”

(video) JOURNEY TO AGARTHA, AN UNDERGROUND KINGDOM

The explorer Ferdynand Ossendowski wrote a book in 1922 titled Beasts, Men and Gods. In the book, Ossendowski tells of a story which was imparted to him concerning a subterranean kingdom which exists inside the earth. This kingdom was known to the Buddhists as Agharti.

While once a popular concept, in the last century little serious attention has been paid to these conjectures (with the possibly apocryphal exception of Adolf Hitler), and the theory is not supported by modern science.

The myth of "Agartha" is also known as "Shambhala", as it was known in India, the underworld realm peopled by initiates and lead by 'the Masters", Masters who are the Spiritual leaders of humanity.

An underground kingdom, or rather another complete world beneath the Earth, over which reigns the King of the World.

An anti-hell where an anti-Satan makes his subjects perfectly happy and enjoying a long lasting due to Vril energy. Let’s see the matter a little closer…

'PLANET 9' - TEN TIMES THE SIZE OF EARTH - IS ‘TWISTING’ OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, SCIENTISTS SAY

Can one mysterious planet be shaping our solar system? Scientists are currently trying to answer that question. Most people are aware that the planets included in our solar system travel in orbits that are angled in comparison to the Sun. Does anyone know what causes this?

CAN ONE MYSTERIOUS PLANET BE SHAPING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM?

One culprit may be what scientists are referring to as "Planet 9." Planet 9 is an additional planet that is believed to be a part of our solar system. It is a unique planet, presumed to be traveling 20 times farther from our Sun than Neptune, at an angle that differs 30 degrees from the other planets in our solar system. (See image below)

Another important factor to take into consideration is the actual size of Planet 9 itself. Scientists speculate that the enigmatic planet is massive, about ten times the size of Earth. A planet that large would undoubtedly have an impact on our solar system if it did exist.

WHY SO MYSTERIOUS?

If Planet 9 is real, then why hasn't it officially been confirmed? How can a planet so large remain so elusive? The answer is in the length of its orbit. Scientists estimate that the average length of time that it takes Planet 9 to orbit the Sun is about 15,000 years, making it very difficult to study. That means the research will have to be ongoing for quite some time, while scientists keep an eye out in space for any signs of the mysterious giant.

A study was recently concluded which focused primarily on making more discoveries about Planet 9 in our solar system. The findings from the study will be available to the public once it is published in this month's edition of the Astrophysical Journal. Planet 9 may be incredibly cryptic, but scientist is getting closer to uncovering the truth about our solar system and planets every day.

RUSSIA, NUKES, AND TIME TRAVEL

Well, let's get started with this simple line of text, everything from this point on is a theory. Nothing in this article is fact. Do not take this as fact, do not claim me as a source of proof.

THE IDEA

So with the election coming up and the conflict with Russia seeming to be more and more in the media than ever before I have been thinking about a guy I read about John Titor.

John Titor claimed to be a "time traveler", but from my understanding, he was more of a "dimension jumper". For this to be true, the multi-universe theory would have to be true. He claims he came from an alternate timeline from the year 3036 (I believe that's the date). In his time his United States became a power house who didn't have the best interest of freedom and its people.

SO A REBELLION BROKE OUT, A CIVIL WAR STARTS

From this civil war the rebels where born, they were fighting for the "people" against a corrupt government. Isn't this the age-old tale of every nation everywhere at one point and time? Well here's where it gets interesting, in 2005 the war started the fighting broke out all over the nation. Obviously, this didn't happen in our timeline. But that's what is considered a variant, something that isn't the same.

So on with the tale, the United States was part of a thing called United Federation Empire. Could this be the "UN" of our timeline? I've noticed our military bases fly the UN flag now.

HERE COMES THE END

So as the story goes in 2015 Russia steps in. It uses tactical nukes and strikes key points destroying the "evil" empire. America has to rebuild, and the rebels look at this as a helpful attack from Russia. Other things that were destroyed where the European Union, can anyone say the Brexit of our time?

China was also destroyed; Russia became the biggest trade partner of the New America.

COULD THIS BE HAPPENING NOW?

With how Putin see's Hillary could this war be in our future? No citizen is truly happy with the choices we have for our commander and chief. With Wikileaks coming into the light of mainstream media and under attack because the truth must be silenced. Could this be it? Could the people start to rebel?

With Trump's stance could we become close to Russia, just to turn on them? Could Putin get sick of Trump's arrogance and come to the people's aid?

I guess only time will tell.

Secret Space Program Whistleblower claims Humans are on Mars since 70s

A secret space program whistleblower claims Humans have been traveling to Mars for decades. Interestingly, many former NASA employees and military officials have come forward speaking about the existence of a Secretive Space Program and technology that goes far beyond what society knows.

“There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” Senator Daniel K. Inouye

Mars is the number one place in the solar system where we really want to go. Recently, during the 67th annual International Astronautical Congress ni Guadalajara Mexico, Elon Musk, the head of Tesla Motors and SpaceX announced that not only are humans going to travel to Mars in the near future, but we are going to establish a colony on the surface of the red planet where people will live.

However, all of this isn’t new according to ‘Secret Space Program whistleblower Corey Goode who released a statement detailing human activity on Mars, saying that mankind ahs been on the surface of the red planet for a long, long time.

Strangely, he isn’t the first, or only one to have said that.

Many people have stated that these ‘accusations’ aren’t new, and there are documents (WikiLeaks) which argue that human and alien collaborations have been around for quite some time.

In the statement, Corey Goode wrote:

“Mars was first visited by the Germans as far back as the 1930s, but during the 70s, US space programs were actively exploring Mars and other planets to establish bases. In 1980 the US SSP became – Solar Warden. Under Project Solar Warden vast development and colonization occurred on Mars and other planets. Goode continues, “Bases on Mars were built under the surface.”

But doesn’t that sound crazy? Well, he isn’t the only one to have said it, and if we go ahead and take a look at a statement from Senator Daniel K. Inouye, we will realize just how profound this subject really is.

“There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” (source)

The funny thing is that according to several statements, humans have had the technology for space travel for a long time:

“During my tenure in the Navy, we discovered that the Germans had been inventing space technology since the early 20th century.” —William Tompkins.

The above statement from Tompkins corroborates comments made by Corey Goode which have been tagged as ‘ludicrous’ by many.

According to Tompkins, three are declassified documents that show German space-travel technology. He even claims to have worked within extremely classified think thanks, which created weapons for aerospace companies.

In addition to Goode, a former NASA employee claimed there were secret manned missions to Mars over 20 years ago. In an interview with Coast-to-Coast AM, a woman by the name of ‘Jackie’ talked about humans on Mars, something that has been discussed among other alleged NASA employees for years; ‘…Then I saw two men in space suits – not the bulky suits we normally used, but they looked protective. They came over the horizon walking to the Viking Explorer…’

In addition to the above, a former Marine claims to have even WORKED on Mars. The retired officer only known as Captain Kaye (pseudonym), said that not only have humans made it to Mars in the past, we have developed a secret space program and flotilla that operates in space. According to the former Marine, he was posted on the red planet for years and his mission was to protect the five human colonies from indigenous life forms on Mars. According to Captain Kaye, not only did he spend years on Mars, but he also served aboard a giant space carrier for three years.

Reading the above statement and comparing it to what Senator Daniel K. Inouye makes you really wonder if all of the above is possible.

The recently published press release tells us more about these secretive programs and Mars:

Richardson, Texas, October 13, 2016 – On Tues, Oct. 11th President Barack Obama wrote an Opinion Editorial via CNN.com announcing to the citizens of the United States that, “America has set a clear goal to send humans to Mars by the 2030s…we do what’s possible before anyone else.” The problem here is that during a Nov. 2015 video interview with Gaia.com, whistleblower Corey Goode from the US Secret Space Program (SSP) said, “There are humans already on Mars, and it’s been colonized.” In Dec. 1986, Goode was recruited into SSP – UNSAP (Un-Acknowledged Special Access Programs) under Project Solar Warden. He was assigned to a research vessel in space to study the solar system from Dec. 1986 – Dec. 2007.

President Obama and the US government joins a heavy-hitter list of private-sector visionaries, such as Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg and Elon Musk (SpaceX), as they compete to make a historical dent in space. On Oct. 4th, according to Bloomberg Technology, Muilenburg said, “It’s my company that’s sending the first humans to Mars, not Musk. I’m convinced the first person to step foot on Mars will arrive there riding a Boeing rocket.”

‘Alien’ Lifeform seen moving on Mars in NEW NASA footage

According to a new controversial video, ‘Alien’ Lifeforms are seen moving on the surface of the red planet. Check out the video and let us know what you think.

The video which has become viral on social networks offers ‘conclusive evidence’ that there is at east primitive life on the surface of the red planet.

UFO hunters and researchers around the globe believe the recently uploaded NASA footage shows an ‘alien’ life form moving on the surface of Mars.

As the Curiosity rover drilled into Mars’ surface, something its vanity was spotted moving.

UFO hunters believe insect-like figures are moving around the drill of the rover, proving once and for all that there is life on Mars.

The mystery alien lifeforms were spotted in black and white time lapse images taken last year, on January 2915 (Mars Sol 882) as NASA’s very own Alien rover collected samples from the Martian surface.

YouTube channel Mars Alive compiled a video of the anomalous creatures seen in the time-lapse images pointing to an autonomous movement that must be the result of alien life.

While many believe there’s definitely something odd about the ‘things’ moving near the rover, skeptics dismiss the ‘discovery’ suggesting that the objects seen moving are most likely debris that moved as a result of Curiosities drill.

However, some viewers disagree and point to the facts that while one or two objects are seen moving away from the drill, one of them moves towards it at the precise moment when the drill penetrates the Martian surface.

The footage caused divided opinion among believers and disbelievers. Both sides seem what hey want to see. NASA, on the other hand, has remained silent since well, why would they comment on anything like this? There isn’t any scientific background to back up the possibility Mars can sustain life or is there?

This strange discovery will surely be incorporated into a long list of anomalies found on the Martian surface.

Whether or not Mars has life is something up for debate. However, we hope that in the near future –especially with NASA’s sights set on Mars— we will find out whether or not Mars is able to sustain life as we know it.

Remember that not long ago we thought Mars was a wasteland. This has been proven wrong ever since NASA spotted traces of liquid water flowing on the surface of Mars.

So, if there is liquid water flowing on Mars today, why couldn’t there be some weird looking life forms crawling around the red planet?

Anything is possible, right?

Onopgelost mysterie: Politieagent getuige van UFO-landing in New Mexico

Politieagent Lonnie Zamora zag op 24 april 1964 een UFO in de lucht boven Socorro in de Amerikaanse staat New Mexico.

Het ging om een wit ovaalvormig object, zo vertelt Nick Pope, die van 1991 tot 1994 voorzitter was van de UFO-desk op het Britse ministerie van Defensie, aan Science Channel. Hij voegt toe dat het object ook beschikte over een soort landingsgestel.

Plotseling kwamen er vlammen uit de onderkant van de UFO, waarna het object opsteeg, aldus ufoloog William J. Birnes in het programma NASA’s Unexplained Files.

Geheime wapensystemen

Zamora staat voor een raadsel. Hij heeft nog nooit een object gezien dat zich zo snel voortbeweegt en zo’n vreemde vorm heeft. Hij maakt melding van zijn uitzonderlijke waarneming.

De FBI, het leger en de luchtmacht wilden allemaal weten wat er aan de hand was, aldus Christopher Orwoll, directeur van het New Mexico Museum of Space History.

Het object verscheen op slechts enkele kilometers van de White Sands Missile Range, waar de eerste atoombom tot ontploffing werd gebracht en waar wordt gewerkt aan geheime wapensystemen.

Niet mogelijk

Sommigen denken dat Zamora een Lunar Surveyor, een experimentele NASA-sonde, heeft gezien, maar volgens veel onderzoekers is dat niet mogelijk.

“Lonnie Zamora zei dat het object 10 tot 12 meter lang was, terwijl de Lunar Surveyor ongeveer vier meter lang was, dus die kan het niet geweest zijn,” legt astronoom Antonio Paris uit.

Buitenaards ruimteschip

Het incident doet denken aan de landing van een buitenaards ruimteschip in 1989 in de Sovjet-Unie, dat werd bemand door drie tot vier meter grote wezens met kleine hoofden.

“Geleerden hebben bevestigd dat recent in een park bij de Russische stad Woronezj een onbekend vliegend voorwerp is geland,” aldus persbureau TASS. “Zij hebben ook de landingsplaats geïdentificeerd en sporen aangetroffen van buitenaardse wezens.”

Inwoners van de stad zagen volgens het persbureau zwevend boven het park een groot lichtend voorwerp of schijf. Ze zeiden dat de UFO landde en dat er drie wezens naar buiten kwamen die grote gelijkenis vertoonden met mensen en werden vergezeld door een kleine robot.

Blink-182 Tom DeLonge Responds to His Leaked UFO Emails: "Big Things Are Coming" UFO Sightings Daily

Date of article: Oct 22, 2016
News source:

https://us.yahoo.com/music/tom-delonge-responds-leaked-ufo-211633773.html

This is really odd. Tom Delonge is acting like he's an alien or something that can force disclosure, or that he has created some elite group that could easily compete with the illuminate. I really hope he is successful what ever his endeavours in the field, as long as it helps awaken to public to the reality of the situation.
Scott C. Waring

News states:
Tom DeLonge Responds to His Leaked UFO Emails: "Big Things Are Coming"

Last week, it was revealed that former Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge has sent multiple emails to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman John Podesta asking about aliens and UFOs. His questions seemed trivial compared to some of the other information gathered by WikiLeaks, but DeLonge isn't laughing. The longtime UFO enthusiast (who once quit Blink-182 to focus on his extraterrestrial interests) issued a statement regarding the emails Friday afternoon.

"I am still here," he wrote on Facebook. "Wikileaks really messed some important stuff up. What seems like ridiculous subject matter to most, is of massive importance to admirable National Security Leadership."

Clearly upset with the lighthearted manner most people have taken with his emails, DeLonge continued, "It’s easy to poke fun about the topic from an armchair, but unless you’re invited to the meetings I have been a part of, then…no more laughing. Big things are coming. Project is still on, believe it or not, things just got bigger. #SekretMachines"

For now, we're unsure what these "big things" are, but for a closer look into DeLonge's thoughts on UFOs, you can watch his 2012 interview with Larry King on the topic below.

Secret Documents Apparently Reveal A Senior U.S. Senator Reported Of Witnessing Two UFOs

flying-saucer

Three U.S. government officials deemed to be highly reliable reported witnessing two UFOs hovering near a train line. The report of the sightings was filed 61 years ago, but their supporters allegedly covered up the said report.

Alien researchers obtained formerly confidential files that detail senior Senator Richard B. Russell and two aides’ account about seeing two flying saucers taking off.

During a fact-finding mission to Russia, Sen. Russell was on a Soviet-era train. He was a chairman of the Armed Services Committee and considered as one of the most influential U.S. senators. He died after serving for 38 years in 1971.

According to the documents obtained by the Fund for UFO Research (FUFOR), Sen. Russell was in the Transcaucasus region with his two aides at around 7 p.m. on October 4, 1955, when the incident took place.

richard-rusell

He reportedly spotted two disc-shaped UFOs when he looked out of the window. These UFOs were taking off from a place close to the railway tracks, according to the documents.

The documents further reveal that the senator called over aide Lt. Col. Hathaway and interpreter Ruben Efron to look out of the window as well. Both of them also saw the two craft taking off.

The senator and the aides reported the sighting to U.S. Embassy in Prague, in Czechoslovakia, and U.S. Air Force, but the account was apparently kept strictly confidential.

The documents disclose that air attaché at the embassy, Lt. Col. Thomas Ryan, filed a top secret Air Force intelligence report on the senator and aides’ sighting on October 14, 1955, after meeting the trio.

The filed top secret report states that Lt. Col. Hathaway told Lt. Col. Ryan that the trio saw a disc ascending almost vertically at a relatively slow speed. The outer space of the UFO revolved slowly to the right, to an altitude of approximately 6,000 feet. Its speed increased sharply as it flew north. The second unidentified flying disc was seen about a minute later performing similar actions. About 1 to 2 miles south of the rail line was the take- off area.

CIA agents also interviewed the trio and a fourth unidentified witness.

The documents reveal that Mr. Efron described the visibility as excellent and the UFOs glide without any noise heard and exhaust glow or trail seen.

The fourth unidentified individual stated that one UFO had a white light on top and a slight dome.

All witnesses claimed that the disc had a pinkish-white glow and ascended in a vertical manner with the glow moving slowly in a clockwise direction around the perimeter, providing a pinwheel appearance.

On October 18, 1955, U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was briefed, and the FBI penned a memo on November 4, stating that Lt. Col. Hathaway’s testimony would support the existence of a flying saucer.

The men remain their silence publicly, but details were leaked to a Los Angeles Examiner reporter who approached Senator Russell.

The senator’s response to journalist Tom Towers was that he already discussed the matter with the affected government agencies and they thought it wasn’t wise to publicize the issue at that time. The senator refused to divulge further details to the reporter.

The Air Force, FBI, and the CIA documents remained confidential for 30 years before being declassified in 1985, but their details emerged only after FUFOR obtained the documents under a Freedom of Information Act request.

FUFOR chairman, Dr. Bruce Maccabee, said these long-secret documents show for the first time that a powerful U.S. senator saw and reported a UFO. He believes that the witnesses were prevented from talking about the incident. The chairman added that these documents reveal the CIA took the UFO report seriously.

Paranormal Book Author Seeks More Information Of Mass UFO Sightings In 1983

Linda Zimmermann (Amazon link) believes there are more interesting details about the mysterious mass sightings of a boomerang-shaped object in the evening skies over nearby New York 30 years ago.

Linda Zimmermann

She believes some answers are yet to be unveiled. She mainly thinks the missing piece in this entire thing is Connecticut.

The New York-based paranormal book author said that there were sightings in Putman County in February 1983 and the craft in question continued along the Interstate 84 corridor. It was, this time, IBM executive in Danbury had seen it, according to Zimmermann.

The executive said that UFO was bigger than 747 and was floating in the air as if it was on a string.

In hopes of attracting eyewitnesses who want to share their story about the UFO, Zimmermann has organized a UFO conference at the Danbury Library this Saturday.

Zimmermann said that the conference is going to focus heavily in Connecticut. She believes that the state deserves its work because there were a lot of sightings.

It may be a natural assumption that an individual who saw the UFO a generation ago would not be able to remember important details of the event anymore, but Zimmermann thinks otherwise.
Zimmermann said that majority of witnesses told her that they remember it like it just happened yesterday.

UFO Moving at Incredible Speed Tracked By Radar | New Rendlesham Case Video

The now-retired controllers say they tracked a bona fide UFO that covered 120 miles in eight seconds, or three sweeps of their radar beam!

The two U.S. Air Force air traffic controllers who were working in the RAF Bentwaters base tower in late December 1980—during the series of incidents collectively known as the Rendlesham Forest UFO Case—have finally discussed their long-held secret on camera.

Ike Barker and Jim Carey first spoke to me in 2007, allowing me to record their revelations on audio tape. But their dramatic, game-changing testimony is now available on video, in an interview appearing in my newdocumentary film, UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed, excerpted here:

By Robert Hastings
The UFO Chronicles
10-21-16

The now-retired controllers say they tracked a bona fide UFO that covered 120 miles in eight seconds, or two sweeps of their radar beam! If that were not stunning enough, Carey says the object also made an instantaneous right-angle turn as it left the vicinity. For his part, Barker says he actually saw the amazing interloper as it briefly hovered near the air traffic control tower, describing it as an orange sphere with a series of portholes positioned around its center.

Airtraffic Controllers Track UFO on Radar

Both controllers are emphatic: This was an intelligently-controlled craft whose capabilities far surpassed any current human technology. Significantly, the incident occurred the same night that USAF Lt. Col. Charles Halt—the Deputy Base Commander at Bentwaters—was leading a small group of Security Policemen through nearby Rendlesham Forest, to investigate strange lights that had been reported there. At one point, Halt described seeing an object resembling an eyeball moving through the trees, dripping a molten-metal-like substance.

UFO Moving Through The Trees at Rendlesham Forest

Skeptics have always dismissed this “UFO sighting” as a misreported observation of the sweeping beam from the nearby Orford Ness lighthouse—despite the fact that Col. Halt has repeatedly said, as early as 1997, that the lighthouse beam was also visible during the incident, but located some 30-degrees away from the strange glowing object.

According to Halt, the eyeball eventually “exploded” and released five smaller disc-shaped craft that raced away in different directions, something confirmed by USAF Security Policeman Rick Bobo, who saw the spectacle at a distance, from the guard tower at the Bentwaters nuclear Weapons Storage Area (WSA).

After awhile, Halt says, three disc-shaped craft higher in the sky were observed doing grid search-like maneuvers. One of them approached his team, hovered above it, and directed a laser-like beam at their feet. After a few seconds, the beam clicked off and the object moved away, in the direction of the WSA. Seconds later, Halt heard excited radio chatter from guards posted at the facility, indicating that beams from the UFO were falling on or near the tactical nuclear bomb storage bunkers!

Beams from the UFO Were Falling On Nuclear Bomb Storage Bunkers

It should be noted that the late Georgina Bruni, while researching the Rendlesham Forest UFO incidents, interviewed a former British military radar operator at RAF Watton, Nigel Kerr, who admitted that an anomalous aerial object had briefly appeared on his screen—for three or four sweeps—the night that Lt. Col. Halt and his team were in the woods.

Now that the USAF air traffic controllers’ extensive, detailed testimony is also on the record, we can confidently assert that at least one genuine UFO—a high-velocity, maneuvering, hovering, spherical-shaped craft exhibiting advanced technology—was in the vicinity during the period that Halt described seeing multiple UFOs in the sky.

Nevertheless, questions remain: Why was only one UFO tracked on radar—both at Bentwaters and Watton—when multiple objects were sighted by USAF personnel on the ground? Were all but one of the craft operating in a Stealth-like mode? Or does this discrepancy relate to a given object’s altitude, with most of the UFOs maneuvering beneath the radars’ lower detectability-limit? And why did some observers (Halt and his team) observe discs while others (controller Ike Barker and one guard at the WSA, Charlie Waters) report spherical craft?

Regardless, the relevant facts—including a detailed summary of the stunning incident at the WSA—are discussed in my video. Additionally, a far more comprehensive assessment of the entire Rendlesham Forest Case is featured in my book, UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites, available only at my website.

Two Glowing UFO Over Mountain Tops At Newman, Georgia On Oct 16, 2016

Date of sighting: Oct 16, 2016
Location of sighting: Newnan, Georgia, USA
News source: MUFON #79837

This sighting included two UFOs which stood out in the night sky. Unfortunately the eyewitness didn't get any video, but only had this single photo. A video of them moving would really help determining if it was a UFO or something else.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

1. Where were you and what were you doing at the time? I was taking a walk in the later evening about dusk to get some steps in for the day. The sighting was around 730p EST, in Newnan, GA, about 15 miles south of Hartsfield Jackson Airport.

2. What made you first notice the object? There were 2 very bright lights in the sky, not airplane lights. Living so close to the airport I see airplane lights all the time and know the landing patterns of the planes. They were out of the landing path from the west and east of the directions of the planes in the area. The orb lights stood out like a sore thumb. The orbs were also closer together than any planes would be on approach to the airport.

3. What did you think the object was when you first noticed it? Airplanes

4. Describe the object and its actions and motions in detail. 2 very round, circular, glowing orbs. Like perfect glowing circles. Almost star like in color. After taking the pictures with an iPhone 6s +, I zoomed in to see if I can get a better look. In the middle of the orbs there seems to be something in the middle of each of them, but not sure if it is just distortion or not.

5. Describe your feelings, reactions and actions, during and after sighting the object. I always look for UFO's, so I was excited that this could be my first potential sighting. I had no other feelings other than excitement. I texted my buddy the picture and he check flightradar24 and nothing on the app showing aircraft in the area matching the two orbs in that area. I am always skeptical of ever seeing anything like this, but this was different than anything I have ever seen before.

6. How did you lose sight of the object? Total sighting was about 10 minutes for me. I wasn't 100% sure, so I started walking down the hill to my house. I as started walking each orb went in separate directions in slow controlled line. It was odd to me that they were going the opposite direction of the landing patterns of the planes. They went below the tree line (in the pictures) and didn't see them again.

NASA Images Indicate That the ExoMars Schiaparelli Lander Crashed

ESA

IN BRIEF

Images from NASA suggest that the lander has crash landed, and perhaps even exploded on the surface of the planet.
The ESA has not officially confirmed the crash but does fear for the worst.

ExoMars 2016 separation

It looks like the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Schiaparelli Mars Lander entered martian atmosphere and landed with a bang, new images from NASA suggest. Last we heard, the ExoMars Lander entered the atmosphere of Mars at 10:42 am ET (2:42 pm GMT) on October 19 for a supposedly 6-minute descent onto the red planet’s surface.

Shortly after confirmation of entry, the ESA lost contact with the ExoMars lander. Data from the Trace Gas Orbiter, the lander’s mothership, are still being analyzed to understand what really happened.

Before-and-after images from the CTX camera of NASA’s MRO show the possible crash site.

However, we may have a clue. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) made a pass last October 20 on the supposed landing site on the Meridiani Planum. The photos taken by the MRO’s low-resolution CTX camera show two new features on the surface that weren’t found in similar images taken last May.

The ESA released an official statement this Friday:

Estimates are that Schiaparelli dropped from a height of between 2 and 4 kilometers, therefore impacting at a considerable speed, greater than 300 km/h. The relatively large size of the feature would then arise from disturbed surface material. It is also possible that the lander exploded on impact, as its thruster propellant tanks were likely still full. These preliminary interpretations will be refined following further analysis.

While there may be a sliver of room to hope for the best, the evidence is mounting that the lander is likely lost.

Vanochtend hebben meerdere mensen in West-Vlaanderen spectaculaire wolkenformaties gezien. Een rolwolk trok over de regio van Zonnebeke, Poperinge, Schore. Dit type wolken ontstaat wanneer koude en warme luchtsoorten in contact komen met elkaar.

"Op het grensvlak van beide luchtsoorten condenseert de vochtige lucht en ontstaat er een rolwolk", aldus Nicolas Roose van Noodweer Benelux.

Scientists claim 170mph ‘air bombs’ capable of downing planes and ships could unlock mystery of notorious stretch of sea

SECRETS OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

Scientists claim 170mph ‘air bombs’ capable of downing planes and ships could unlock mystery of notorious stretch of sea

Bizarre hexagonal clouds suggest the devastating air bombs could be behind mystery disappearances in the notorious area

BY COREY CHARLTON

STRANGE clouds forming above the Bermuda Triangle could explain why dozens of ships and planes have mysteriously vanished in the notorious patch of sea.

The remarkable new theory suggests the clouds are linked to 170mph “air bombs” – capable of bringing down planes and ships.

**Pictured are the strange hexagonal clouds seen hovering above the Bermuda Triangle**

**The clouds are believed to have been caused by 170mph “air bombs”**

**Bermuda Island is a tiny island located in the Atlantic Ocean**

Now the riddle could finally be solved after meteorologists speaking to the Science Channel’s What on Earth revealed their findings.

Using radar satellite imagery, they discovered bizarre “hexagonal” shaped clouds between 20 and 50miles wide forming over the dodgy patch of water.

Meterologist Dr Randy Cerveny said: “The satellite imagery is really bizarre… the hexagonal shapes of the cloud formations.

“These types of hexagonal shapes in the ocean are in essence air bombs. They’re formed by what is called microbursts and they’re blasts of air.”

They blasts of air are so powerful they can reach 170mph – a hurricane-like force easily capable of sinking ships and downing planes.

For centuries the notorious Bermuda Triangle has been linked with a high number of unexplained disappearances of aircraft and ships in its waters.

Located between Miami, Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda, the reasons behind their loss have baffled researchers for decades.

**Dr Randy Cerveny said 170mph “air bombs” created the bizarre clouds**

Strange cloud formations could be linked to Bermuda Triangle mystery

The ancient Anunnaki: Creators of Man?

All ancient texts seem to concur that ‘beings’ created mankind. No matter what religion, culture or ancient writings we look at, all of them have one thing in common; Life on Earth was created. But who or what created us? Can we find the answer if we study the ancient Anunnaki?

In nearly all ancient writings we find that ‘Gods’ created mankind. But have we ever asked ourselves who were these gods? Is life on Earth the result of intelligence far greater than we are able to understand? Can life be explained scientifically? Or is life –no only on Earth, but elsewhere in the universe potenitally— the result of a higher intelligence that we call ‘God.’

Ancient texts seem to tell us exactly how mankind came into existence.

For example, the sacred book of the ancient Maya tells us a fascinating creation ‘myth.’

The Popol Vuh states that ‘beings’ created mankind. These beings are referred to as “the Creator, the Former, the Dominator, the Feathered-Serpent, they-who-engender, they-who-give-being, hovered over the water as a dawning light.”

If we analyze the Popol Vuh a bit further we will find through chapter one: They are enveloped in green and azure: that is why their name is Gucumatz (Feathered-Serpent). Of the greatest sages is their being. Then came his Word with the Dominator and the Feathered-Serpent; and they consulted together and meditated, and while they consulted, it became day…”

“…at the moment of the dawn, MAN manifested himself, while they, in the darkness and in the night, were holding counsel upon the production and growth of trees and creeping vines, of sentient beings and humanity, by him who is the Heart of the Heavens, whose name is Hurakan. Lightning is the first sign of Hurakan; the second, the path-of-the-lightning; the third is the thunderbolt. And these three are the Heart of the Heavens…”

Among other ancient texts, the Bible seems to tell a similar story…

There are several Bible verses that refer to the creation of Adam and Eve, which some believe to be based on writings of Sumerian clay tablets that speak of “superior” beings which created the first human species.

Looking at Genesis 1:26-27: we find the following; Then God said, “…Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground…”

“…So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them…”

In the Quran we find the following:

Verse 96.1: “read in the name of God who created”;
Verse 96.2: “created man from a clinging substance”;
Verse 96.3: “read and your God, the most generous”;
Verse 96.4: “who taught by the pen”;
Verse 96.5: “Taught man what he did not knew.”

This is why we ask again, who were these Gods? Is it possible that some of the oldest writings on Earth –from Ancient Summer— can help us understand mankind’s origin?

We look towards the Anunnaki hoping to find out more about ‘WHO’ created mankind.

The Anunnaki are said to be a group of deities in several ancient Mesopotamian cultures like the Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian.

The Anunnaki are also one of the MOST controversial subjects among many people around the globe. Millions of people around the world believe the Ancient Anunnaki are the creators of man and are not mythological beings but in fact flesh and blood ‘gods’ who came to Earth in the distant past.

Many researchers firmly believe that based on numerous discoveries, the Anunnaki (Sumerian: “those who came down from the heavens), a highly advanced civilization from an elusive planet in our solar system, came to Earth, landing in the Persian Gulf some 432,000 years ago.

Many find comfort in the ancient alien theory which presupposes that thousands of years ago even before recorded history our planet was visited by astronauts from another world, intelligent beings with technology beyond our own today.

Controversial author Zecharia Sitchin tells us much more about the Anunnaki.

Approximately some 250,000 years ago, according to Sitchin, the ancient Anunnaki merged their Alien genes with that of Homo erectus and created a species known as Homo sapiens, obtaining as a result, a genetically bicameral species.

Many people agree that the ancient Anunnaki could be the responsible ‘creators’ who kickstarted life on our planet.

Evidence of their creation is found in different cultures and different religions around the globe. However, all ancient creation myths seem to concur that ‘mankind was created’ by beings obviously not from Earth.

Are these beings the Anunnaki? And is it possible that all ancient creation myths are similar because they all originated from the same source? Even though we have different texts, from different cultures who were NOT interconnected in the distant past, all of them seem to tell the same story: Mankind was ‘created’ by beings from elsewhere.

Is it possible that this creation can explain the abrupt “evolution” of man?

However, new discoveries and alternative theories that contradict and put pressure on well-established concepts, are by no means welcome by mainstream scholars.

Maybe we need to open our minds to different possibilities in order to fully understand the origin of mankind.

Despite recent scientific progress in various areas, it sometimes seems as if we never really left the Dark Ages behind us, since in some areas we remain very close minded.

Don’t forget that today, with the technology available to us; mankind can create life on other worlds.

So why is it hard to believe that thousands if not million of years ago, a spacefaring civilization did the same on Earth?

WikiLeaks: Astronaut wilde Obama betrekken bij onthullingen over buitenaardse wezens

John Podesta, oud-topadviseur van president Obama, regelde een ontmoeting met astronaut Edgar Mitchell om te bespreken hoe de Amerikaanse overheid informatie kan vrijgeven over aliens. Dat blijkt uit e-mails die zijn gelekt door WikiLeaks.

Het tweetal was van plan om ook president Obama hierbij te betrekken. In een e-mail uit 2014 geeft dr. Mitchell aan met Podesta en president Obama te willen spreken over het vrijgeven van informatie over buitenaards contact. Dit zal volgens hem ‘onze hele planeet ten goede komen’.

De zesde man op de maan zei dat de informatie naar buiten moet komen zodat mensen de kosmos kunnen gaan verkennen zonder terug te vallen op ‘kolonialisme en vernietiging’.

Niet langer relevant

Het is volgens Mitchell, die begin dit jaar overleed, voor de overheid ook de uitgelezen mogelijkheid om ‘de wijsheid en het intellect van haar burgers te erkennen’.

In de e-mail claimde de astronaut dat de Amerikaanse overheid 50 jaar geleden de beslissing nam om ‘de kennis over de buitenaardse aanwezigheid weg te halen bij de burgers’. Dit besluit is volgens Mitchell niet langer relevant.

Podesta’s assistent Eryn Sepp accepteerde de uitnodiging, maar voegde toe dat ‘John liever eerst met hem alleen om de tafel wilde zitten voordat hij de president erbij zou betrekken’.

Area 51

Mitchell stuurde Podesta eerder al e-mails over wapens in de ruimte en de kennis van het Vaticaan over buitenaardsen. In 2002 zei de campagnemanager van Hillary Clinton openlijk dat documenten over Area 51 moesten worden vrijgegeven.

Uit e-mails die zijn gelekt door de klokkenluiderssite blijkt ook dat Robert Fish, curator van het Apollo-museum, Podesta heeft benaderd over het verzamelen van ‘wetenschappelijke data’ over UFO’s.

Zijn deze mysterieuze hexagonale wolken verantwoordelijk voor verdwijningen in Bermudadriehoek?

Zijn deze mysterieuze hexagonale vormen verantwoordelijk voor verdwijningen in Bermudadriehoek?

Zijn deze mysterieuze hexagonale wolken verantwoordelijk voor verdwijningen in Bermudadriehoek?

Wetenschappers denken het mysterie achter de Bermudadriehoek te hebben opgelost. Dat schrijft de Daily Mirror.

In het 500.000 vierkante kilometer grote gebied in de Atlantische Oceaan zijn in de afgelopen eeuwen tenminste 75 vliegtuigen en honderden schepen verdwenen.

In de Bermudadriehoek ontstaan volgens wetenschappers mysterieuze zeshoekige wolkenpatronen die zogeheten luchtbommen produceren. Die zijn zo krachtig dat ze schepen kunnen doen omslaan en vliegtuigen doen neerstorten.

Rechte randen

De onderzoekers ontdekten ook dat er enorme wolkenformaties verschenen boven het westelijke deel van het eiland Bermuda. De formaties hadden een omvang van 32 tot 88 kilometer.

Satellietmeteoroloog dr. Steven Miller van de Colorado State University zei tegenover Science Channel: “Wolken hebben normaal gesproken geen rechte randen. Meestal volgen ze een willekeurig patroon.”

Onder de hexagonale wolken bereikt de wind snelheden tot wel 270 kilometer per uur, krachtig genoeg om 14 meter hoge golven op te wekken.

Enorme golven

“Deze hexagonale vormen boven de oceaan zijn in feite luchtbommen,” voegde meteoroloog Randy Cerveny toe. Die komen uit de onderkant van een wolk en worden als het ware afgevuurd richting de oceaan, waar ze enorme golven creëren.

De Bermudadriehoek is een denkbeeldige driehoek tussen Miami, de Bermuda-eilanden en Puerto Rico in het westelijk deel van de Atlantische Oceaan.

BUITENAARDSE BEVESTIGT DAT TIJDREIZEN MOGELIJK IS ( VIDEO )

BUITENAARDSE BEVESTIGT DAT TIJDREIZEN MOGELIJK IS ( VIDEO )

In de tweede helft van de vorige eeuw werden er een aantal buitenaardse wezens gevangen gehouden door de Amerikaanse overheid.

Een interview met één van hen is opgenomen en volgens experts is de opname echt.

In een eerder artikel schreven wij het volgende over de organisatie Majestic 12.

Enkele maanden na de Roswell crash in de zomer van 1947 werd door President Truman opdracht gegeven tot de oprichting van Majestic 12. Een soort geheime schaduwregering die zelfs boven de president stond en zou gaan samenwerken met buitenaardsen.

majestic 12

Volgens officiële kanalen zoals de FBI, wordt (uiteraard) het document afgedaan als totale onzin, maar Friedman is er heilig van overtuigd dat Majestic 12 wel degelijk echt is.

In december 1994 kwam er een document naar buiten dat werd gelekt naar een niet nader genoemde bron, wat het operationele handboek van Majestic 12 bleek te zijn.

Het bevatte veel interessant materiaal, waaronder instructies over hoe er moest worden omgegaan met zogenaamde EBE’s. Dit staat voor Extra Terrestrial Biological Entities en is de aanduiding voor buitenaardse wezens.

Volgens het gelekte document zijn er een aantal operaties geweest waarbij overlevende inzittenden van neergestorte UFO’s werden meegenomen. In het handboek staat dat deze EBE’s zo snel mogelijk naar een veilige lokatie overgebracht dienen te worden.

Er staat in het handboek dat er getracht moet worden om het leven van de EBE waar mogelijk te sparen, maar dat hun dood acceptabel is, in het geval de condities zodanig gevaarlijk worden dat het leven van de EBE moet worden beëindigd om menselijk leven te behoeden of dat de veiligheid van de operatie in het geding komt.

Volgens de Majestic documenten zijn er vanaf eind jaren vijftig tot eind jaren tachtig drie verschillende buitenaardse wezens te gast geweest in S4, een ondergrondse faciliteit onder de Papoose bergen. S4 is een basis net ten zuiden vanArea 51 in Arizona.

In het begin werd er met de buitenaardsen gecommuniceerd via afbeeldingen, maar later werd er bij hen een kunstmatige versterker aangebracht (voice box) bij de keel, waardoor ze toch konden praten.

Er is een opname van één van die buitenaardsen die bekend is onder de naam EBE-3. Deze opname is naar verluid gemaakt in 1964 of in 1968.

Volgens een aantal experts die de opname hebben bestudeerd, is de volgende video absoluut authentiek en niet nep.

En als dat zo is, kunnen we serieus kijken naar wat deze EBE-3 zoal te vertellen heeft.

Om te beginnen blijkt dan dat tijdreizen zeer goed mogelijk is, omdat hij zegt dat hij afkomstig is van de aarde, maar uit onze toekomst en dat tijdreizen in feite reizen in de ruimte is.

Het wezen wat daar zit, lijkt niet echt op een mens, maar toch zegt hij een afstammeling van ons te zijn, een soort gemuteerde vorm.

Hij zegt dat hij is gekomen om ons te observeren omdat alle bewijs van leven op aarde is vernietigd. Op de vraag hoe dit dan is gekomen, antwoordt EBE-3: “Door een nucleaire oorlog”.

Na deze oorlog overleefden er slechts weinig mensen en dit werden zijn voorouders. Hij zegt dat wij mensen niet ver genoeg zijn ontwikkeld om het leven in zijn tijd te kunnen begrijpen.

Hij zegt dat ze zover zijn geëvolueerd dat ze geen bijgeloof zoals een God meer nodig hebben.

Op de vraag wat er gebeurt als wij doodgaan, komt een bijzonder antwoord en dat is dat de dood een menselijke constructie is en als zodanig niet bestaat.

We zijn, zo zegt hij, allemaal onderdeel van hetzelfde leven, gescheiden door wat wij dood noemen.

Er zijn volgens EBE-3 een oneindig aantal universa, allemaal met hun eigen fysieke eigenschappen. In de meeste ervan is geen leven mogelijk zoals wij dat kennen.

Op de vraag waarom wij onszelf zullen vernietigen met kernwapens, antwoordt hij: “dogma's”.

Een dogma is een leerstelling die als onbetwistbaar wordt beschouwd door een religie, ideologie of andere organisatie.

Op de vraag of hij wat preciezer kan zijn in zijn antwoord, komt: politieke en religieuze dogma’s. Dat zijn de wortels van alle conflict van het menselijk ras.

In de jaren zestig verklaarde EBE-3 dat de toegang tot massa vernietigingswapens en de verschillende dogma’s ervoor zullen zorgen dat in deze eeuw de mensheid zal worden vernietigd. Dat wil zeggen, niet totaal, maar wel voor een belangrijk deel.

En met de aanstaande komst van Hillary Clinton in het Witte Huis is die voorspelling opeens weer heel actueel geworden.

Military helicopter reported chasing UFO

A New Hampshire witness at Nashua reported watching a red-orange orb moving a few hundred feet off of the ground while apparently being pursued by a military helicopter, according to testimony in Case 79839 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness first heard the sound of a low flying helicopter which sent him outside to investigation. Pictured: Nashua, NH.

The incident began about 7:40 p.m. on October 15, 2016.

“I heard an extremely loud, very low-flying helicopter somewhere over the woods behind my apartment in the southern area of Nashua which is not at all a normal occurrence here,” the witness stated.“My wife and two sons were present; we were getting ready to eat dinner. We grew increasingly alarmed as the helicopter’s sound grew louder and louder until we could feel the building vibrating from it.”

The witness and his oldest son, age 14, stepped out onto the balcony to look for the helicopter.

“It sounded like it was practically on top of us, but too low and close to see it over the tree line. It was dark, the full moon was still on the opposite horizon behind our building. My first thought was that it might be the police tracking someone on the ground in the woods, except this helicopter was SO loud – sounded more like a Black Hawk than the standard choppers that police/news uses.”

The two could not see searchlights of any kind over the woods.

“Suddenly we saw a reddish/orange light break over the tree line headed south. Our balcony faces west and this light was running straight and perpendicular across our view. It was a large orb shape, flying very fast in a perfectly straight line – skimming above the trees no more than a few hundred feet off the ground, and a few hundred yards from us. We had a clear view of it for just a couple of seconds before it was lost behind the trees again. It didn’t weave or change course, didn’t wobble, or change colors/size/shape. There were no other lights on it, and it didn’t appear to pulse.”

Nashua is about 50 miles northwest of Boston.

Following just behind the object was a large helicopter which appeared to be pursuing the object.

“The helicopter appeared military in design and was large and dark colored, either black or gray with only a couple of small red lights on it and no visible markings that I could see. The orb appeared to accelerate slightly while it was in view, but then backed off a bit, as if it was trying to stay just out of reach of the helicopter. We had a clear view of both the object and the chopper together in the sky for a moment, and the orb appeared to be about one-third to one-half as large as the helicopter.”

The incident lasted no more than about 30-45 seconds from first hearing the helicopter to when the object and helicopter disappeared over the trees headed south.

“The object and helicopter were visible for just a couple seconds of that time. It sounds strange, but I felt a palpable sense of intelligence/awareness from the craft in the moment the object was visible that stuck with me long after the sighting. It was like time just stopped for an instant as we watched. My son experienced the same sensation. I almost couldn’t believe what my own eyes were seeing, but it was as if the craft was toying with the helicopter. We were awestruck, and were desperately wishing we’d had a clearer view above the tree line for a better look at it.”

Orb UFOs photographed hovering over Georgia

A Georgia witness at Newnan reported watching and photographing two hovering orb UFOs that eventually moved away in two different directions, according to testimony in Case 79837 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside on a walk about 7:30 p.m. on October 16, 2016, about 15 miles south of Hartsfield Jackson Airport when the incident occurred.

“There were two very bright lights in the sky, not airplane lights,” the witness stated.“Living so close to the airport I see airplane lights all the time and know the landing patterns of the planes. They were out of the landing path from the west and east of the directions of the planes in the area. The orb lights stood out like a sore thumb. The orbs were also closer together than any planes would be on approach to the airport.”

The witness first thought the lights were airplanes.

“I saw two very round, circular, glowing orbs. Like perfect glowing circles. Almost star-like in color.”

After taking pictures with an iPhone 6s+ the witness zoomed in to see if he can get a better look.

“In the middle of the orbs there seemed to be something in the middle of each of them, but not sure if it is just distortion or not. I always look for UFOs, so I was excited that this could be my first potential sighting. I had no other feelings other than excitement. I texted my buddy the picture and he check flightradar24 and nothing on the app showing aircraft in the area matching the two orbs in that area. I am always skeptical of ever seeing anything like this, but this was different than anything I have ever seen before.”

The total sighting time was about 10 minutes.

“I wasn’t 100 percent sure, so I started walking down the hill to my house. I as started walking, each orb went in separate directions in a slow, controlled line. It was odd to me that they were going the opposite direction of the landing patterns of the planes. They went below the tree line (in the pictures) and I didn’t see them again.”

U-boat Found In Loch Ness, Captain Claimed Giant Monster Attacked Them, Oct 2016, UFO Sighting News.

U-boat Found In Loch Ness, Captain Claimed Giant Monster Attacked Them, Oct 2016, UFO Sighting New

Date of discovery: Oct 2016
Location of discovery: Coast of Scotland
News source:

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-37691283

The Lock, not far from the coast of Scotland where the u-boat was found, is very shrouded in mystery. The Loch Ness has always intrigued me since reading a book about it as a child. I even watch the live cam every now and then. I have tied in several historical alien and UFO sightings in that area from over 60 years ago, but is this monster technologically built by aliens, or an actually ETI (Exterestrial Intelligence)? The Loch is deep so it could be hiding an alien base at its bottom. What they need in a robotic drone sub with infrared imaging to cut though all that murky water. Hopefully one day, will will catch this creature.
Scott C. Waring

News states:
The wreck of a German U-boat that sank almost 100 years ago has been discovered by engineers laying subsea power cables.
Remarkable sonar images show the missing World War One submarine is largely intact and lying off the Galloway coast.
Experts believe the vessel could be the UB-85, a sub that sank in 1918, according to official records.

However, naval folklore suggests it may have been attacked by a "sea monster".

Mysterious sinking:
The entire crew of the U-boat is reported to have abandoned ship due to the "monster attack".

Once aboard the British ship HM Drifter Coreopsis, their commander, Captain Krech described their encounter.

He is said to have spoken of a beast with "large eyes, set in a horny sort of skull…with teeth that could be seen glistening in the moonlight".

He apparently claimed that the sub was so damaged in its battle with the "monster", it could no longer submerge.

However, Dr Innes McCartney, a historian and nautical archaeologist who helped identify the wreckage, does not believe the tale. (More at source.)

Email Leak; An Organization That Doesn't Exist, Alien Overlords, Ion Drive Advancements And More, Oct 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of email: Nov 14, 2015
Sent to: John Podesta
URL To email: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/12743

I found this at Wikileaks today. This is an email from an guy who works in a

secret area of the Canadian government that is similar to DARPA.

Email writer states:

"I represent a Canadian organization that doesn't exist that looks like DARPA, but works with the government to pursue positive growth business."

He states that he was given information that aliens want certain technology to be built by him, but he and his team are upset that they know little about the aliens that are going to use it. He wants more info so they can succeed at their mission and cooperate better with the US gov. He is also working on the ion drive for NASA! He says he knows inside info about "our alien overlords." He also says a mass extinction level event is very close.
Scott C. Waring

Email states:

Dear Mr. Podesta,

My name is (I removed name since he is in a secret gov area, SCW), I am a Canadian citizen residing in Edmonton Alberta Canada.

As a good neighbor and ally to the US, I was curious as to why NASA is feeding the Canadian Space Agency with wrong or misinformation regarding certain anomaly scenarios that are occurring.

Our intelligence is limited. We rely on US-Canadian joint ventures to accomplish our goals which feed the US new wonderful tools. Why are we being shut out and shut down? I take this personally both as a Citizen of Canada and as a member of the scientific community. We cannot improve the ion drive systems if we are left out.

If the US does not want to continue our long standing friendship, and solely act in its own best interests, then we can end the charade of NAFTA now. We were technologically superior to the US. We don't need the US. I think, and you will agree, that without our contributions, the US would not have grown the way it has. Canadians own Hollywood, New York, Florida, the Stanley Cup and by right, the Pennant that was stolen from us due to the baseball strike.

(Here he says he knows of the treaties with aliens)

By all rights and reason, we require full disclosure of all alien contact and all treaties the US has agreed to with the aliens. We might have weak intelligence, but we have ascertained that we are food, labor, and resource generators for the alien over lords.

Our information came from your own DoD, casually and off the record by credible sources. Now we want to know if we are going to be dealt a hand at the table or will we be left out like last time? I represent a Canadian organization that doesn't exist that looks like DARPA, but works with the government to pursue positive growth business.

Our interests lie in the contribution to the positive growth of humanity. We think that we can make the world better, happier and more peaceful. But we can't do that if we are about to see a mass extinction event occur.  Our historical data is wrong, our timelines are wrong, and with all the information being withheld or lied about, we have a very bad feeling that the US is leading us into a trap. If you can please help us help you it would be greatly appreciated!

(right here he begins talking about the aliens the US and Canada are working for...the alien overlords that ask them to create these futuristic technology items to advance humanity. SCW)

We just need to know who and what we are dealing with. What are their intentions? Are they hostile? Can we stop them if necessary? What deals were cut? If the US betrayed Canada's trust, or put itself forward at Canada's expense, we will not tolerate another Afghanistan situation. That was ten years of work wasted. We don't have to let the US win the cup or the pennant and we certainly don't have to keep our currency artificially deflated to satisfy US ego.

(Here he threatens the US by saying Canada can make political deals for trade agreements with aliens, if the US doenst cooperate with his secret DARPA-like Organization.)

We can also cut our own deals with these alien visitors/landed martians. But we won't engage them unless the US denies us access privileges and full debriefing.

My advice is bring us to the table. We need more information because our data is currently not up to date. Our failed attempts at catching UFOs showed how weak we were. This is because we do not know what we are up against. We need more data. Plus, with the magnetic north pole moving towards the equator, we need help. If we can find allies that can help we would welcome it. Or in 20+ years we will all be dead anyway. Magnetic North now over Siberia. In ten years it will be over the black sea. In 20 years it will be over Indonesia. If the US cut a deal, now would be a good time to start calling in favors!

US Gov Considering Employing Project Blue Beam (Firesign) To Sway Election Outcome, Oct 2016, UFO Sighting News.

PDF:

Wikileaks email: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/15052

This is an interesting and eye opening video by Secureteam10 of Youtube. It talks about a pdf and wikileak, but most importantly, it talks about Project Firesign...formerly known as Project Blue beam, which was built on the foundation of HAARP program. Now back in the early 1980s, three reporters discovered and leaked info to the news agencies about Project Blue Beam...all were murdered by US agents within a few months. This is a dangerous topic for UFO researchers, so if Secureteam10 wants to tackle it, hats off to them. This is some important and useful info the public needs to know about.

This PDF is from the Benson Strategy Group, which says in the pdf that they have the option (but not recommended) to use an "improved strains of ZIKV have been delivered and we have disseminated them to operatives." Which is meant to make voters hide indoors and is lethal. This Benson group sounds like a dark budget spy group for the US government. Cool stuff, but freaky scary to know the gov is considering such options to sway an election either way.

UFO Fragment Dating Back 250,000 Years Found In Romania, (Tested Positive), Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date discovered: 1973
Location discovered: Romania

This object is very similar in appearance to the old Bob White alien artifact found back in 1985, when it fell from a huge ball of light in the sky.

Bob White states;

"It was huge, the size of a very big barn. I got out of the car for a better look.

"For some unknown reason, Jan turned on the headlights, and this light went up in the sky as fast as my eyes could follow it.

"Then I saw another small light, bright orange with a tinge of yellow, white, and blue falling from it."

Bob White aluminum object seen falling from a UFO ball of light.

Mr White said he climbed an incline and headed for where he thought it would have landed.

He said:

"I found a groove in the ground about 18 inches deep and nine inches wide.

"I followed the groove and there it lay.

"It was still glowing."

After 13 laboratory tests it was confirmed the discovery was a solid centred aluminum alloy, just like this new UFO fragment found in Romania. Also the color appears the same.

Scott C. Waring

Video states:
A piece aluminium that looks as if it was handmade is being hailed as 250,000-year-old proof that aliens once visited Earth.
The discovery of the mysterious chunk of metal in communist Romania in 1973 was not made public at the time, according to CEN.

Testing has since revealed that the object is made of 12 metals and is 90 per cent aluminium with Romanian officials dating it as being 250,000 years old.

The initial results were later confirmed by a lab in Lausanne, Switzerland, CEN reports.

Metallic aluminium was not really produced by mankind until around 200 years ago, so the discovery of the large chunk that it claimed to be up to 250,000 years old is being held up as a sensational find.

In 1973, builders working on the shores of the Mures River not far from the central Romanian town of Aiud found three objects 10 metres (33 feet) under the ground.

They appeared to be unusual and very old, and archaeologists were bought in who immediately identified two of them as being fossils.
The third looked like a piece of man-made metal, although very light, and it was suspected that it might be the end of an axe.
All three were sent together with the others for further analysis to Cluj, the main city of the Romanian region of Transylvania.

It was quickly determined that the two large bones belonged to a large extinct mammal that died 10,000-80,000 years ago, but experts were stunned to find out that the third object was a piece of very lightweight metal, and appeared to have been manufactured.
The object is 20 centimetres (7.8 inches) long, 12.5 centimetres (4.9 inches) wide and 7 centimetres (2.8 inches) thick.

What puzzled experts is that the piece of metal has concavities that make it look as if it was manufactured as part of a more complex mechanical system.

Now a heated debate is going on that the object is actually part of a UFO and proof of visitation by an alien civilisation in the past.

Gheorghe Cohal, the Deputy Director of the Romanian Ufologists Association, told local media: 'Lab tests concluded it is an old UFO fragment given that the substances it comprises cannot be combined with technology available on Earth.'

However, local historian Mihai Wittenberger claims that the object is actually a metal piece from a World War II German aircraft.
He believes that it is a piece of the landing gear from a Messerschnmitt ME 262.

The UFO hunters say that this explanation does not explain the age of the artifact.

The metal object has now gone on display in the History Museum of Cluj-Napoca, with a sign that reads 'origin still unknown'.

Lonely Planets: Alien 'Hot Earths' Have Few Friends

By Charles Q. Choi, Space.com Contributor

Hot Earths — scorched, Earth-size worlds that are closer to their stars than Mercury is to the sun — may often be lonely planets, either far removed from any other worlds or the only planets in their systems, a new study finds.

These isolated hot Earths may be the charred remnants of much-larger worlds, or they may be exoplanets whose interactions with massive disks of gas and dust dragged them perilously close to their stars, researchers said.

In the past two decades, astronomers have confirmed the existence of nearly 3,400 worlds outside Earth's solar system, many of which NASA's Kepler space telescope found. These discoveries have revealed that some distant exoplanets such as "super-Earths" — large rocky planets up to 10 times Earth's mass — are very different from those seen in Earth's own solar system. [Gallery: The Strangest Alien Planets]

Exoplanetary systems also often differ from Earth's solar system in their so-called architecture, or how close alien worlds' orbits are to each other and their stars. For example, a number of exoplanetary systems either consist of a single planet or have a planet that is extremely isolated from its siblings.

"In the solar system, and among most of the planetary systems discovered by Kepler, planets tend to be pretty close together," said study lead authorJason Steffen, an astronomer at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In comparison, if Earth were as solitary as some of these isolated exoplanets, "our nearest neighbor would be beyond the orbit of Saturn," Steffen said. "It takes something unusual to produce such a wide separation between neighboring planets."

To uncover clues about why single-planet and multiplanet systems evolved in different ways, scientists analyzed Kepler data on 3,063 candidate exoplanetsin 2,373 systems. This included 1,890 candidates in single-planet systems and 1,173 candidates in 483 multiplanet systems.

"It's important to understand all of the pathways that planetary systems can take, and to know how frequently those paths are taken," Steffen told Space.com. "This information helps us improve our models for how planets form and how systems evolve. Ultimately, we want to do more than just measure how many planets there are in different orbits — we want to know how they got there." [Gallery: A World of Kepler Planets]

The researchers focused on 144 exoplanet candidates that are hot Earths, worlds whose orbits are so close to their stars that these planets take only about one Earth day to circle their stars. In comparison, Mercury's orbital period, or year, is about 88 days long, while Earth's is the familiar year, or about 365 days long.

The researchers estimated that more than one-sixth of these hot Earths are isolated; they are either the only planets around their stars, or they're so distant from their planetary siblings that they're effectively single planets. These isolated hot Earths seem about as common as hot Jupiters, gas giants that orbit their stars closer than Mercury does the sun.

"In this way, this kind of result is like finding a new species of plant or animal. It marks a distinct evolutionary path that branched off from our own at some point in the past," Steffen said. "Just as how we can learn a lot about civilization by studying the histories of different nations, we can learn a lot about our solar system by studying the histories of different exoplanetary systems."

Alien Exoplanet Expert

Astronomers have confirmed more than 800 planets beyond our own solar system, and the discoveries keep rolling in. How much do you know about these exotic worlds?

Artist's conception of alien planets Kepler-36b and c

These isolated hot Earths might come from the leftover cores of hot Jupiters, after these giant worlds have their atmospheres burned off due to their searing proximity to their stars, the researchers said. Hot Jupiters are typically isolated planets, likely because their gravitational pulls disrupted the formation of any nascent planets near them, researchers said.

Hot Earths might instead have formed in massive disks of gas and dust, having been originally located farther away from their stars, the researchers said. These disks interact with the planets, making the worlds spiral toward their stars. Eventually, the disks dissipate, and hot Earths are left very near their stars, the researchers said. Previous research suggested that this is why the Kepler-10 system may have a hot Earth and a more distant planet with an orbital period more than 50 times longer.

Future research can pinpoint how commonly isolated hot Earths occur and yield more insights as to how these planets might have formed, Steffen said. For instance, NASA's planned Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will study stars that are brighter and much closer to Earth than Kepler's target stars; the TESS stars can literally shed more light on any isolated hot Earths around them.

"We want to know the answers to questions like, 'How many systems are like these? What other planets, if any, are in these systems, and where do those planets live? Are there any distinguishing properties of the stars that we couldn't see in the Kepler data?'" Steffen said.

Steffen and his colleague Jeffrey Coughlin at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, detailed their findings online Oct. 10 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Volcanoes on Venus Erupted Recently, New Study Suggests

By Calla Cofield, Space.com Staff Writer

PASADENA, Calif. –Volcanic activity on Venus took place in the recent past, geologically speaking, and may still be happening on the planet today. New research takes a deeper look at one recent eruption on Venus' surface.

The Idunn Mons volcano in the southwestern hemisphere of Venus rises 1.6 miles (2.5 kilometers) above the surrounding plains. In 2010, observations by the European Space Agency's Venus Express probe revealed that Idunn Mons is a "hotspot," meaning it radiates high levels of infrared light compared to the surrounding area. That suggests that lava flowed at the spot recently, and that the area is still warm.

Now, a more nuanced look at Idunn Mons suggests that the hotspot observations are consistent with multiple (cooled) lava flows along the volcano's eastern flank, the new research shows. The researchers behind the new work said the finding suggests that Venus' volcanos were active in therelatively recent past, and may still be active today. [Photos of Venus, the Mysterious Planet Next Door]

"Venus is a planet which has always been considered Earth's twin sister," said Piero D'Incecco of the German Aerospace Center and one of the researchers behind the new analysis. "But its cloud cover still hides a lot of secrets."

D'Incecco spoke at a media briefing at the American Astronomical SocietyDivision for Planetary Sciences meeting in Pasadena, California.

Venus Express initially identified the hotspot on Idunn Mons in 2010 using the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) instrument. Most of Venus' surface appears cool when viewed with VIRTIS, and this is a sign that those regions haven't changed (geologically speaking) in millions of years. By contrast, the researchers who initially studied the hotspot estimated that the region could be less than 2.5 million years old. Unfortunately, the thick clouds that cover Venus prevented the Venus Express probe from getting a more detailed look at the volcano and the lava flows.

A geologic map of the eastern flank of Idunn Mons, displaying five lava flow units (lfu), identified using numerical simulations and radar data from the Magellan probe. The lfu are labeled "a" to "e." Lfu-a lies on the volcano's summit, while lfu-b through lfu-e are located on the volcano's flanks.
**Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ESA/DLR**

The new analysis of lava flows on Idunn Mons uses radar data collected in the early 1990s by NASA's Magellan probe. D'Incecco and colleagues built a new numerical model to simulate lava flows on the top of the mountain and the eastern flanks, and compared that model with the Magellan data.

"According to our modeling, the flank lava flows are the ones responsible for this [hot]spot," D'Incecco said. "This is particularly important because this is the first time we can map, with such a high resolution, lava flows from avolcanic structure which is believed to be recently or still active on a terrestrialbody other than Earth."

Close Encounter in New Jersey

earlenaval

Earle Naval Weapons Station

Monmouth County, New Jersey — Joseph Foster former Coast Guard and FBI agent reports I have been privy to a number of “interesting” UFO related events. The original event I reported took place in the summer of 1958, around August when as a child of ten years old, I lived on Dorbrook Farm with my family. This farm was located in the town of Colts Neck, and later became Dorbrook Park. This town is also adjacent to a military base designated Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Earle. The base, then as now, is a major ammunition storage facility of the U. S. Navy. It consists of the storage facilities (rumored for years to have “non-conventional” munitions stored there) and its pier and handling facilities that are on Raritan bay, about 13 miles to the north in Leonardo, NJ (on of 13 villages comprising Middletown Township).

Sometime around August of that year my family (mother, father and sister) along with several neighbors were enjoying a pleasant summer evening sitting in our respective front yards located on Route 537 (across the street and a couple of hundred yards beyond a pasture that ran up to the Navy’s Normandy Road, otherwise known as the Navy or government road and rail line). It was around 7:00 pm that evening when we witnessed a unique daylight UFO sighting. This event was never reported in the press, nor was it ever satisfactorily explained to this day.

disc

The object observed was a bright, silver, metallic sphere with reflective properties, similar to that of silver or perhaps polished aluminum (I sighted a similar object years later while at sea and in the Coast Guard returning from a Westpac deployment). The object’s approximate size was that of a pencil eraser held at arms length. The sphere-like object also displayed approximately twenty or so randomly blinking red and white points of light. These blinking lights seemed to flash all around the object however did not appear to be directly attached to it (a similar object was reported to have landed close to the pier facilities years later in July of 1970).

What makes this sighting interesting is that the location of the farm from which the object was first viewed was/is adjacent to the U.S. Navy road and railroad linking the main secure munitions storage facilities to its two mile long finger pier (the largest of its kind in the world) and its adjacent handling functions located 13 miles away in the town of Leonardo, NJ. The road itself is restricted to “authorized use only”, therefore being military traffic and to those officially tasked with moving naval munitions to and from the storage facilities located in Colts Neck. The base services various Navy and Coast Guard ships that tie up at its pier location to on-load and off-load munitions. Note: You could always tell when “interesting” munitions were being transported because the vehicles (be they train or truck) were accompanied by a squad of armed Marines who would block each intersection until the train or truck had passed on it way to and from the pier.

Our modest farmhouse was located facing east on a road then known as RD#1 Eatontown, Rte 537 or just the Old Scobyville road. Looking eastward from my front porch directly across that road and beyond a large pasture, I could easily view the Navy road and railroad winding its way between the main base and its loading facility in Leonardo. It should be noted that the farm’s location is especially significant because it is also close to Earle and Fort Monmouth, two critical military facilities and a world famous AT&T/Western Electric Research and Development laboratory known as Bell Labs. All three of these facilities until recently were considered significant to the military and from a purely, advanced scientific research and development standpoint. Note: This is the Bell Laboratories at which the transistor was invented by Shockly and his team, advanced radar was refined and the first satellite communications capability then known as Telstar was born.

The object itself I observed was moving in what appeared to be on a slightly southwesterly direction at a speed of 40 to 120 mph. Its altitude was between 500 to 1000 feet.

The location from which the object was viewed was essentially from the front yard and porch of my house.

All of the witnesses were facing the direction of the blue arrow. The map shows the layout of the farm as it was at the time. The house can still be seen on the map indicated by the small red circle and the origin of the blue arrow indicating direction facing the sighting. The red circle encompasses the buildings located on the farm.

It should be noted that many years later (around 1995) I came across another witness who observed the same object several miles to the north of my location. This other witness told me that the object actually landed behind his house overlooking a swampy area on the Swimming River. This person lives in the River Plaza section of Middletown Township and is located close to Exit 109 on the GS Parkway.

The object according to the witness actually landed in a marshy area near where Newman Springs Road crosses the Swimming River, between the towns of Red Bank and River Plaza. The location also falls directly along a course and direct line of flight from the Navy’s Leonardo pier facilities to the Ammunition Depot proper located in Colts Neck.

It was also years later I came across the last witness who worked at Fort Monmouth. He is the one who related the story of the object’s actual landing. This is where a UFO crash and explosion at a Nike (anti-aircraft radar guided missile system) site would be linked years later.

Missile Sites Destroyed

nikeherculeslaunch

Nike Ajax Missile

This now gets me to that linkage between Nike and this event. There were actually two events that took place in May of 1958 involving separate Nike Ajax missile batteries. NY-53 (part of the New York Air Defense system) was a Nike Ajax battery co-located next to the Navy Road in the Leonardo section of Middletown Township about 1 ½ miles from the pier facilities and about 10 miles from Dorbrook farm. On May 22, 1958 the worst accident involving the Nike Ajax missile system took place at this site. Ten men were killed when an entire launch section consisting of eight Ajax missiles, all above ground on their launchers, fully fueled and armed blew up in what was a chain reaction.

Destroyed Nike Ajax

The formal report was that it was a “maintenance upgrade” accident. However, in light of another Nike Ajax incident in the same month and same year involving a UFO, this Leonardo incident may have to be looked at again. Note: Heavy UFO sightings were common at this time and UFOs are known to return fire when fired on.

The other Nike Ajax event involving a reported UFO sighting (and crash) took place, also in May of 1958 at a site designated W-93 (W for Washington Nike defense system). This site was located partially in Olney and in Gaithersburg Maryland. Harlan Bentley who was an Army radar operator at the time reported that there were sightings and radar contact with a number of UFOs over a period of time. One morning around 6:00 AM, Mr. Bentley while inside his fenced in compound observed an object careening into the field outside of the fence then again gaining altitude. It dropped a refrigerator sized object back into the field. According to Mr. Bentley, there was also a farmer who was working in the field that stopped and both watched the events as they unfolded. Middletown Nike explosion occurred 22 May.

Mr. Bentley reported this event on a recently released “UFO Disclosure” video. He also stated that he was a radar operator at the time and was associated with this site. As mentioned, the object that left behind radioactive debris that was reportedly recovered by the US Air Force at the time shortly after the event. He and the rest of the battery were told that the Air Force had an experimental aircraft and that is what crashed. They were also told that they were not to discuss this event.

Some time between 1960 and 1966 after the site was decommissioned and acquired by FEMA region two to be used as an underground, classified, regional command center. There is a strong indication that there may in fact be a linkage between these two Nike batteries and the UFO events that transpired in both geographic locations. For the Navy road add a significant event that took place in 1970 again, about 1 ½ miles away from the Navy pier and you end up with strong circumstantial evidence. For the 1970 incident, there may be another tie to the Nike system, this time perhaps involving a nuclear-armed Nike.

Note: Hercules missile as opposed to the conventionally armed Ajax. No “smoking gun” but definitely food for thought and investigation.

Editor’s Note: Coast Guard personnel report a likely base off the coast as UFOs are often seen entering and leaving the Atlantic Ocean.

bomark

McGuire AFB N.J. Bomarc Missile Site

On 7 June 1960, an explosion occurred causing a fire in a liquid-fueled, nuclear-tipped BOMARC missile site in the Northeast corner of McGuire Air Force Base. To my knowledge no other air to air missiles were destroyed nationwide except those in New Jersey where heavy UFO presence was reported.

Were the UFOs giving us a warning against using nuclear tipped missiles to destroy Soviet bombers. All sites were eventually decommissioned.

Underground Facilities

ravenrockpa

Raven Rock Underground

Bill Hamilton writes, One of the earliest American underground facilities was built at Raven Rock in Pennsylvania. The military refer to it as “Site R.” Sounds like “Section D.” Raven Rock was picked because it is made of greenstone, a type of granite that is the fourth hardest rock on earth. Construction started in 1950, and engineers had completed a series of tunnels and a three-story building by 1953. Two more three-story buildings were completed by 1963. The complex lies 650 feet beneath the 1,529-foot-high summit of Raven Rock and can be entered through four portals. The mountain has everything needed to survive a catastrophe: some of the best dining in the Army, chemical suits, a fitness center, a medical facility, a barbershop, legal services, a chapel, designated smoking areas and a convenience store. It has six 1,000 kilowatt generators and 35 miles of cable on 180 telephone poles. Remember, this is one of the early underground sites, and probably does not compare with some of the new underground cities that have been constructed in more recent years.

mtweatheremergop-center

Mount Weather

One of the first of nearly 100 Federal Relocation Centers was built in rural Virginia’s Mount Weather. It took years to complete, but when complete resembled a city more than an emergency installation. Mount Weather was equipped with such amenities as private apartments and dormitories, streets and sidewalks, cafeterias and hospitals, a water purification system, power plant, and general office buildings. The site includes a small lake fed by fresh water from underground springs. It even has its own mass transit system–small electric cars that run on rechargeable batteries and make regular shuttle runs throughout the city.

As recently as 1992, the papers reported the existence of a Cold War secret, the government had built a $14 million underground bunker in West Virginia and maintained it for more than three decades for Congress to use in the event of a nuclear attack.

greenbrier

White Sulphur Springs

The hideaway Capitol was built under the fashionable Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, about 250 miles from Washington. Its location was known only to a relative handful of the nation’s highest- ranking officials. From 1958 on, the very existence of this facility was a closely guarded secret. Very few in Congress or the executive branch knew of the program. The rumors that an underground city exists under the Enchantment Resort in Boynton Canyon in Sedona, Arizona may not be so far fetched after all. Eggs cannot be put in one basket. The Greenbrier bunker has living quarters and work space for 800 people as well as separate meeting halls for the House and Senate.

ramenkirussia

Ramenke, Russia

We are always willing to release more about the other side’s secrets than our own. We find that the Kremlin and other buildings in Moscow are still linked by underground rail tunnels to an area about six miles outside the city center called Ramenki, site of a vast subterranean bunker designed for the country’s leaders and their families. It was described as an underground city about 500 acres in size, built at several levels from 230 feet to 395 feet. This bunker could shelter as many as 120,000 people!

oakville-gradenapacalifornia

Oakville-GradeNapa California

According to the Napa Sentinel, a secret underground installation is under construction near the Oakville Grade in Napa County, California, and is being used by the Government for direct satellite communication, the Continuity of Government (COG) program in case of nuclear attack or other disasters, and secure communication links with the outside world in case of disaster.

yuccamtnev

YUCCA MOUNTAIN

Not all underground sites are shelters. The Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project took a first step in November, 1993 when it started construction on the entrance pad for its Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF). This pad is the launching point for 14 miles of tunnels that will be drilled directly under Yucca Mountain. The tunnels will measure 24-30 feet in diameter for some and 16-18 feet in diameter for others. This project will eventually cover some 70 acres of surface and underground facilities. This DOE project will contain alcoves for experiments located along the tunnels.

Skeptics have expressed doubts about the existence of extensive underground tunneling and cavitation. They always ask, “Where is all the dirt?” This method of asking a question to disprove an allegation is misleading and faulty logic at best. Skeptics favorite question about the alien presence is “Why don’t they land on the White House Lawn?” Of course, the rejoinder should be “Keep off the Grass signs prevent them.”

subterrenetunnelmachine

One of the new methods of tunneling that have been under study is “nuclear tunnel boring.” U.S. Patent No. 3,693,731 dated Sept. 26, 1972 describes a method and apparatus for tunneling by melting. It says, “a machine and method for drilling bore holes and tunnels by melting in which a housing is provided for supporting a heat source and a heated end portion and in which the necessary melting heat is delivered to the walls of the end portion at a rate sufficient to melt rock and during operation of which the molten material may be disposed adjacent the boring zone in cracks in the rock and as a vitreous wall lining of the tunnel so formed. The heat source can be electrical or nuclear. The melted rock is forced into cracks wherein heat is given up to the crack surfaces and freezes as a glass at some distance from the penetrator. This amazing boring device is capable of drilling at depths totally inaccessible with previous drilling techniques, even, according to the patent claims, down to 30,000 meters.
The nuclear tunnel boring machines were invented by scientists and engineers at Los Alamos, called their new machine, the “Subterrene.” In 1975, an A. A. Mathews, Inc. report reveals that the initial experiments were done in the 1960s and the Subterrene performs its job rapidly and economically by “the formation of a glass lining. The use of a nuclear reactor and heat pipes to provide power for kerf penetration within the tunneling machine itself contributes to the overall economy of the system. A Los Alamos symposium held in Atlantic City in 1986 proposed the construction of a Subselene for tunnel melting for high-speed lunar subsurface transportation tunnels on the moon.

usadrillmachine

US Air Force Drilling Machine

There is rumors of a subterranean highway through America just like our own Interstate highway system, except its underground. There are shuttle tubes that “shoot” the trains at incredible speed using a mag-lev and vacuum method. They travel in excess of the speed of sound.
Skeptics have scoffed at claims that 100-mile long tunnels run from one military base to another. Yet, engineers have planned for tunnels to span the nation. Skeptics do not believe in alien visitations. It is even more difficult for them to accept the idea that aliens have inhabited the earth for a long time and like to live underground and out of sight.

moonbase-chinachange2orbiter

Chinese satellite photo far side of Moon

Huge structures discovered in close-up photos of lunar features indicate that ancient alien artifacts have graced the surface of our satellite. It is only a small step for aliens to have come to earth and built habitats.
Chinese photo of Moon Base Captured By Chang’e-2 Orbiter? 2012
We cannot prove that aliens or alien technology exists in secret underground facilities. There are an increasing number of abductees who report being taken to underground bases. Perhaps ancient underground facilities will eventually reveal the truth.

Robert Salter, of the RAND Corporation, has suggested building a subway from New York to Los Angeles magnetically levitated above the tracks. The trains would zip through the evacuated tunnels crossing the country in less than one hour. Building such a train presents no special technological problems, but the cost of tunneling from coast to coast would.
The beauty of the Subterrene is that, as it burrows through the rock hundreds of feet below the surface, it heats whatever stone it encounters into molten rock, or magma, which cools after the Subterrene has moved on. The result is a tunnel with a smooth, glazed lining. For power, the Subterrene can use a built-in minature nuclear engine or even a conventional power plant. Thanks to Bill Hamilton,

egypttunnel

Ancient Egyptian Tunnel

Editor’s Note: Whether or not nuclear subterrene tunneling machines have been used, or are being used, for subterranean tunneling is a question I cannot presently answer. However, a friend who won the Best New Jersey Teacher Award was given a tour of Egypt’s ancient archelogical sites that included tunnels that were guarded by soldiers with machine guns. She stated the tunnels were perfect with unbelievable accuracy and amazingly smooth that went on as far as you could see. She felt they must have been built by ET or an advanced race.

EMP Could Destroy our Civilization

sunflare

An executive order by President Obama was issued Thursday, October 14, that outlined the country’s contingency plan in the event such weather events lead to significant disruption to systems like the electrical power grid, satellite operations or aviation. Allegedly the Russians have a EMP weapon that also could wipe out the electrical power grid in the United States.

“Space weather and the EMP weapon has the potential to simultaneously affect and disrupt health and safety across entire continents,” the order states.

An active region on the sun emitting a mid-level solar flare is seen in an image captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) November 5, 2014. President Barack Obama is calling for preparations to be made to mitigate the effects of extreme weather events.REUTERS/NASA/SDO.

“It is the policy of the United States to prepare for space weather events to minimize the extent of economic loss and human hardship.”

Obama’s order warns that if large portions of the nation’s electrical power grid is knocked out by a large solar flare or EMP, it would result in cascading failures that would affect your home’s electrical system, water supply, healthcare and transportation.

Preparing a response for an event of this kind is described in the order as an “all-of-nation endeavor” that requires cooperation between government agencies like NASA, the media, academia, the insurance industry, and the private sector. The space weather referred to in the order also includes temporary disturbances to the Earth’s magnetic field caused by solar activity, as well as something known as solar energetic particles, which are ions and electrons ejected from the sun.

Solar flares are common occurrences and rarely cause any knock-on effects on Earth. They refer to brief eruptions of intense energy on or near the Sun’s surface that are typically associated with sunspots.

transformer

Large power transformers (LPT) that maintain the power grid are suseptible to distruction by EMP weapons or the sun. Replacement LPTs have long been a major concern for the U.S. electric power sector, because failure of a single unit can cause service interruption and lead to collateral damages, and it could be difficult to quickly replace. LPT can cost millions of dollars and weigh between 100 and 400 tons. Manufacturing of LPTs is a complex process that requires prequalification of manufacturers, the purchase of special copper and electrical steel, and special modes of transportation due to its size and weight. The result is the possibility of extended lead times that could stretch beyond 20 months.

Perhaps the most famous incident of space weather having dramatic consequences on Earth was a solar storm in 1859 known as the Carrington Event. Auroras were seen as far south as the Caribbean and telegraph systems across Europe and North America failed.

Following the publication of Obama’s order, the secretary of energy is now set to consult with the secretary of homeland security to test and evaluate devices that could mitigate the effects of severe storm weather.http://www.newsweek.com/

Note: Prudent people should consider stock piling food, water, and preparing for posible survival techniques without electricty. The politicians of many nations have prepared underground facilities to protect themselves. Unless you have written orders to let you into these facilities you’re on your own.

The winged rocket will have space for 20 passengers. Trips on the space craft would cost between $200,000 and $250,000, according to Han Pengxin, a team leader at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. This puts it at around the same price as flights offered by Virgin Galactic.This price would be achieved by adding a payload to the craft, such as a satellite, which would offset the competitive pricing for space tourists.

Filer’s Files #43 – 2016 Missile Sites Destroyed - PART II

UFO Sightings in the United States

California Object

Sudbury — I looked up while having a smoke outside on October 12, 2016, and a craft from the west appeared and was heading east.

Clearly a disc shaped object with two pulsating lights at front with windows in the middle.

Object was very low and no sound. Flew by and went behind houses. It was only viable for 5 seconds but it was not a plane.

califvyosmitepark10oct16

Yosemite National Park — This is information and footage/screenshots from a friend that was sent to me. He was filming the landscape on October 10, 2916. He actually did not notice that he captured a video of a UFO until later. The object appears flying through the sky and slightly banking to its right extremely fast and completely silent, we were both in the military together and agreed that was mot a military craft. As you can see from the footage it appears in upper left corner and disappears behind the mountains to the right. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado Triangles

Aurora — Around 11 o’clock at Babi Yar Park in Denver four of my friends and I were filming a video project for school on October 15, 2016.

. I looked up to see an object that looks like a B-52 bomber, but it was matte black dark and made no noise. The object had a leading edge of 10 lights with one in the center and four on the sides of the leading edge of the wings. The object was flying Southwest about 2000 feet moving at around 300 miles an hour. I asked my friends to look up and immediately 3 of the 4 saw the object but one only saw a flying blob. After 15 seconds the object made a shallow bank South and disappeared into the night sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Lights

Winter Park — I was driving home after picking up my daughter on September 29, 2016, and my ex then I saw on the horizon six red objects.

I stopped the car and got out using my cell phone I started to take pictures by that time they started to change color and disappear my ex was scared at first and me and my daughter were excited to be able to see them right in front of us this is not the first time I’ve seen UFOs in this neighborhood. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Georgia Lights

Newnan — I was taking a walk about dusk around 7:30 pm on October 16, 2016, about 15 miles south of Hartsfield Jackson Airport. There two very bright lights in the sky, that were not airplane lights. The orb lights stood out and were also closer together than any planes would be on approach to the airport. They were very round, glowing circle , glowing orbs. After taking the pictures with an iPhone 6s , I zoomed in and in the middle of the orbs there seems to be something in the middle of each of them. I was excited that this could be my first l sighting. I texted my buddy the picture and he checked flightradar 24 but nothing on the app showed aircraft in the area. I started walking down the hill as each orb went in a separate direction Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Light

Elgin — About 11:30pm Friday October 14, 2016, I went outside on my patio and saw there was a nice full moon. I was focused my camera toward the moon and at the bottom of the screen I saw a light that I thought was a star. I snapped the picture and I aimed my camera again. This time the light that I thought was a star kept abruptly moving in various directions. Suddenly it would disappear and a second later reappeared several times then shot straight up behind the moon. It came over the top of the moon as a larger red oval with a whitish green glowing center and disappeared. I called my boyfriend who also was able to see it moving. It again came over the top of the moon as a larger red oval with a whitish green glowing center. None of this was visible to the naked eye. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Three Shapes

Canton — She saw the three shapes moving across a blue sky.

She took the pictures with her cell phone on October 9, 2016.

She said they moved very fast in formation. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Rectangle

Canby — On September 25, 2016, I’m not sure what this is, but it was in a video my mom took of a bird and it goes across the screen in just three frames. (her iPhone captures video at 16 FPS). I would like to have it analyzed by a paranormal specialist, but I cannot attach the video because it is too high of a resolution for my phone to be able to send or hers by text or email. If anyone can identify this for me, please do so. I am attaching a still from the video of the object. The timestamp is at 12 PM Pacific time. I just want answers. I can’t send the video because it is on my mom’s phone. It was moving way faster than anything biological at an estimated 170 MPH+?.

Note: It is difficult to analyze the frames without seeing the video. However, I don’t believe that the rectangle is a real object and is probably a reflection. A copy of the video has been requested. Updates will be posted. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Texas Orb

Greenville – I was looking at the full moon on October 15, 2016, and looked up and zoomed my iPhone and saw this object in the sky. It was a blue green sphere with pulsating lights. It was hovering, and then changed directions. The video could not capture it very well except for a few seconds. I had to go inside so had to stop recording. Thanks to MUFON CMS Note: A similar object was seen over San Antonio on October 5, 2016.

Washington Triangular Object

Vashon Island – On October 11, 2016, I saw the black triangular object descending in the eastern sky. It was surrounded in flames that were flickering as coming through our atmosphere flaming. I watched it for about 10 minutes as it slowly went down behind the treeline from my view on Vashon Island. The point of the black object in middle of flames was up and the wider end was going down.

Note: The photo does not show the dark triangular object described by the witness. Looking at the photo the object could be a meteor. However, cameras don’t always capture all relevant detail and the witness said that she saw a dark triangular object. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

West Virginia Triangle

Tornado — While in the yard with my son I saw the object fly slowly overhead and out of sight on October 16, 2016.

Then a few minutes later it returned going the opposite direction until disappearing behind the tree line. This is the second time in a month I have seen the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Alien Sighting

New South Wales — In the early hours of Saturday, October 1, 2016, I woke during the early hours of the morning, I noticed it was still dark outside, when I woke turned my body around in the direction of our bedroom door, where I saw a “grey” standing there. The height of the alien would have been over 6 feet, grey in color with black eye’s and a slender figure. He look directly at me, tilted his head to the side and made a movement with his arm, I felt so at peace that I dropped off again. Thankfully there was enough ambient light within the house to view him clearly. Later that week I attended the doctor’s, as I do every week for a scan and treatment, however on this scan, it showed that I’d been exposed to nuclear radiation. I told my story of my early morning encounter. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Object

Aberfoyle, Ontario — I left work at 8:56 p.m. on October 13, 2016, heading NE, I noticed two bright lights peaking in and out of the tree tops slightly to the south of me, but glimpses were fleeting. About 5 minutes later, I turned NW onto a hilly, windy road, and again, the two orbs stayed in the same spot. At 9:03, I reached the top of the hill and was able to pull over safely and film it. At that point they’d been hovering in place for 7 minutes. I took four thirty-to-sixty-second videos before my battery started to run low.Once I started descending the hill again in my car, I lost sight of them.
The video is jumpy and all you can see are two glowing lights, so I took a print screen and adjusted the brightness and contrast to show the tree line for perspective. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Dominican Republic Disc

Azua de Compostela — I sent you some photos i took a few days ago.

i was taking photos to sunrise on September 29, 2016.

I didnt know there was something rare in one taken in Azua at 6:00 am. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Greece Triangle

Thessaloniki — My friends and I were standing in front of Hagia Sophia sightseeing on September 30, 2016, when we caught a glimpse of the described object in question. I immediately considered it to be some sort of UFO. The object was in shape of a triangle, translucent / transparent in color, with obscured outlines and unwavering lights at three apexes. It seemed to be hovering / floating over buildings, ascending, descending, leaning to sides. We were surprised, making no action; just taking two photos of object (unfortunately with a digital camera with almost discharged batteries which is the reason for the images to be of very low quality. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Guatemala Rectangle

Mixco — I was getting out of the house walking to my car on October 15, 2015. I am on a 2nd floor and have a clear view towards the hills where I saw a white flash emitted by the object. I thought it was a blimp or maybe a drone. After the flash I noticed the object which was moving slowly towards south that either flipped or changed shape. Now it was looking more like a rectangle. But then it disappeared behind a cloud. This made me change my mind about the size. No drone flies that high. The color was gray non reflective and there was no sun at the time of the sighting. The event lasted less than a minute. My guess is it was about 2-3 miles away which makes me guess that the size was about 70 feet. At first I was confused, no plane flies that slow. I couldn’t tell the exact shape. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Switzerland Disc

Geneva — About seven guys saw the ufo, near the Geneva Stadium from different angles on October 12, 2016. They all say the same thing, that it was a disc shape ufo that was literraly hovering in the air for about 30 seconds and then disappears in a flash. It had four lights on the side. You can view it quite properly in the images and videos. People were stunned and can’t believe what they just saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Turkey Sightings

Bodrum/Muðla — I was sitting in my house and was taking a video of the sky from my balcony on May 7, 2016.. I saved the video and when I reviewed it later I found the object changed to black. I’m unable to understand much of the description. Thanks to MUFON CMS

turkey

Ankara — I was sitting in my apartment balcony and viewed in the sky unidentified bodies. This flying object went straight for a while. I was not afraid. I was just excited.

Some of us know of their frankly terrifying presenc. I wish to contribute to the MUFON website and I offer this report. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Orbs

ukhuntington24july16

Huntingdon —Driving from March to Benwick saw in the sky bright light going up and down with a trail behind it. Trail consisted of individual tiny lights – sparkly. This is the second consecutive year I’ve seen this phenomena over Huntingdon. On both occasions there was a lead light followed by a sparkly trail. The lead light simply moved up and down in a smooth, controlled motion with the sparkly trail following it. The movement was almost hypnotic and regular.. on the video you can see that it disappeared up into the clouds and did not reappear. The same happened last time. Both times the movement was regular; on the video you can see that it disappeared up into the clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

ukamdover4oct16

Andover — On October4, 2016, I was at work and went outside for tea break and several of us noticed a plane. I noticed a small shiny object ahead of the plane and pointed it out to the other people there and said it didn’t look like a plane. There were no wings and no vapour trail. I thought it was strange so I took some photos. The object seemed to increase the distance between it and the plane very slightly. I wondered if it was a UFO.Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mars dumpt met horten en stoten waterstof in de ruimte

Mars dumpt met horten en stoten waterstof in de ruimte

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Lang werd gedacht dat de atmosfeer van Mars continu dezelfde hoeveelheid water verloor. Maar ruimtesonde MAVEN schetst een heel ander beeld.

De hoeveelheid waterstof die Mars verliest, varieert van tijd tot tijd sterk. De hoeveelheid waterstof die weet te ontsnappen, piekt wanneer de planeet het dichtst bij de zon staat en bereikt een dieptepunt wanneer de planeet het verst van de zon verwijderd is. En wanneer de planeet het dichtst bij de zon staat, kan er tot wel tien keer meer water ontsnappen, dan wanneer de afstand tot de zon het kleinst is. Die conclusie trekken onderzoekers op basis van metingen van ruimtesonde MAVEN.

Langdurig
Onderzoekers hebben al wel eerder gepoogd om een beeld te krijgen van de hoeveelheid waterstof die aan Mars ontsnapt, maar vaak waren dat maar momentopnamen. MAVEN heeft de atmosfeer van de rode planeet gedurende een heel Martiaans jaar (bijna twee aardse jaren) bestudeerd en kan dus een veel completer beeld geven.

Waterstofatomen
Waterstof in het bovenste deel van de Martiaanse atmosfeer is afkomstig van waterdamp in de lagere delen van de atmosfeer. Een watermolecuul in de atmosfeer kan door zonlicht worden opgebroken, waardoor twee waterstofatomen vrijkomen. En die waterstofatomen kunnen door toedoen van verschillende processen in de atmosfeer aan die atmosfeer ontsnappen.

Seizoenen
Uit de resultaten blijkt dat de afstand tot de zon een rol speelt bij het ontsnappen van waterstof. Hoe dichter Mars bij de zon staat, hoe intenser het zonlicht dat Mars bereikt. “Daarnaast is de atmosfeer wanneer Mars dichter bij de zon staat, turbulenter,” legt onderzoeker John Clarke uit. “Dit kan ervoor zorgen dat water in de lagere delen van de atmosfeer naar hogere delen van de atmosfeer reist, waardoor er daar periodiek meer waterstof te vinden is dat kan ontsnappen.” Maar waarschijnlijk zijn er nog meer factoren die belangrijk zijn. Zo is de hoeveelheid waterstof die in de atmosfeer aanwezig is (en dus kan ontsnappen) afhankelijk van de seizoenen. “We zien het ontsnappende waterstof niet meer als een trage, stabiele stroom, maar meer als een episodische stroom die afhankelijk is van de seizoenen en misschien zo af en toe krachtige uitbarstingen kent,” stelt onderzoeker Michael Chaffin.

Van nat naar droog
Het onderzoek geeft niet alleen een beter beeld van de processen die vandaag de dag in de atmosfeer van Mars spelen. Het onderzoek helpt ons ook om een beter beeld te krijgen van de totale hoeveelheid water die Mars door de jaren heen is verloren en geeft dus meer inzicht in hoe Mars van een natte planeet veranderde in een droge planeet.

De missie van MAVEN is onlangs verlengd. De ruimtesonde blijft nog zeker tot september 2018 actief. Dat betekent dat deze de atmosfeer van de rode planeet nog een Martiaans jaar in de gaten kan houden.

De strepen van Jupiter gaan dieper dan je denkt

Tim Kraaijvanger

Kijk je naar Jupiter, dan zie je de verschillende bruine en witte wolkenbanden. Stel, je pelt de atmosfeer van Jupiter als een ui, dan blijf je de strepen nog lang zien.

Dankzij de Juno-ruimtesonde weten we nu dat de wolkenbanden niet alleen in de bovenste atmosfeer zichtbaar zijn, maar ver doorlopen in de atmosfeer van Jupiter. Juno heeft instrumenten aan boord die met behulp van microgolven diep in de atmosfeer van de grootste planeet van het zonnestelsel kunnen kijken.

“De structuur van zones en banden blijft herkenbaar wanneer je dieper in de atmosfeer van Jupiter duikt”, zegt hoofdonderzoeker Scott Bolton. Dit betekent dat de kleuren van de wolkenbanden op een andere plek ontstaan. “Dit is absoluut een verrassing voor veel wetenschappers.”

De foto hierboven laat zien hoe Jupiter er op een diepte van 350 tot 400 kilometer uitziet. Er zijn nog steeds wolkenbanden te zien, al verschillen ze hier en daar van de wolkenbanden in de buitenste schil.

“Het is voor het eerst dat we dieper in de atmosfeer van een gasplaneet duiken”, zegt Bolton. “We zien nu eindelijk de dynamische processen in de atmosfeer van Jupiter. Dit is pas het begin.”

Overigens gaat het niet goed met Juno. Het ruimtevaartuig schakelde eergisteren over naar de veiligheidsmodus, waardoor er tijdens de scheervlucht gisteren geen nieuwe close-upbeelden zijn gemaakt van de gasreus. De intense straling rond Jupiter vormt een uitdaging, maar wetenschappers beweren dat dit niet de boosdoener is van de problemen. Inmiddels is de veiligheidsmodus uitgeschakeld, maar de instrumenten staan nog niet aan.

Schiaparelli uit elkaar gespat op het oppervlak van Mars

Schiaparelli uit elkaar gespat op het oppervlak van Mars

Tim Kraaijvanger

De Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie bevestigt dat Marslander Schiaparelli is neergestort op Mars. De lander viel op een hoogte van twee tot vier kilometer naar beneden, waardoor Schiaparelli met een snelheid van meer dan 300 kilometer per uur op de rode planeet klapte.

Het nieuws komt niet als een grote verrassing. Woensdag slaagde de ESA er niet in om contact te krijgen met de lander. De Mars Express en NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter luisterden aandachtig, maarpikten het signaal van de lander niet op. ESA-wetenschappers gaven de moed niet op en kondigden gisteren aan te blijven luisteren. Nu blijkt dat dit niet langer hoeft, want van Schiaparelli is niet veel meer over.

De foto in het midden laat de situatie voor de tijd zien. Op de foto rechts zie je de gecrashte lander.

Grote donkere vlek
De Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter heeft Schiaparelli gespot op Mars. Het ruimtevaartuig maakte foto’s van Meridiani Planum: de landingsplaats van de lander. De korrelige foto is naast een kiekje gelegd dat eerder dit jaar is geschoten. Er is veel veranderd. Zo is er een helder vlekje zichtbaar met daarboven een grotere zwarte veeg.

Het lichte vlekje is de twaalf meter brede parachute. Deze ligt redelijk ongeschonden op de buurplaneet van de aarde. Dit geldt niet voor Schiaparelli. Een kilometer ten noorden van de parachute is een donkere veeg te zien met een oppervlak van vijftien bij veertig meter. Een enorm oppervlak. Zo groot is de lander niet. Wetenschappers denken daarom dat Schiaparelli is geëxplodeerd op Mars.

Betere foto’s
Komende week wordt de HiRISE-camera van de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter op de landingsplaats gericht. Waar de bovenstaande foto een resolutie van zes meter per pixel heeft, maakt HiRISE foto’s met een resolutie van 0,3 meter per pixel. Grote kans dat we dan veel meer te zien krijgen.

Zo had de landing van Schiaparelli er eigenlijk uit moeten zien. De lander dringt met een snelheid van 23000 km/h de atmosfeer binnen, op elf kilometer afstand van het oppervlak klappen de parachutes uit. Deze remmen de lander af. Stuwraketten helpen Schiaparelli vervolgens om controle te krijgen over de snelheid. Zodra de afstand tussen de lander en het oppervlak ongeveer twee meter is, worden de stuwraketten uitgeschakeld en ploft de lander op het oppervlak. Afbeelding: ESA / ATG Medialab.

Stuwraketten hebben gefaald
Wat is er precies misgegaan? Dat is op dit moment nog onduidelijk. Sowieso ging het tot de laatste vijftig seconden voor de landing nog goed. Na het loslaten van de parachutes veranderde dit. De negen stuwraketten moesten het werk overnemen en Schiaparelli veilig op het oppervlak zetten. Waarschijnlijk hebben deze stuwraketten geen controle gekregen over de snelheid en zijn ze eerder dan verwacht uitgeschakeld. Eigenlijk zouden de stuwraketten pas twee meter boven het oppervlak moeten stoppen.

ExoMars-rover
Het is belangrijk dat we de oorzaak weten waarom Schiaparelli is neergestort. De landingsmodule was namelijk een proefkonijn om te testen of het landingsmechanisme werkt. Na 2020 gaat de ExoMars-rover naar de rode planeet. Dit beestje zal op dezelfde manier landen als Schiaparelli. Kortom, dat is op dit moment geen goed nieuws. Schiaparelli zou slechts enkele dagen actief blijven, maar de ExoMars-rover is een dure en ambitieuze missie. Daarbij mag niets misgaan. Gelukkig hebben wetenschappers nog een paar jaar de tijd om het landingsmechanisme te verbeteren. Na de mislukte landingen van Beagle 2 en Schiaparelli kunnen we over een paar jaar hopelijk zeggen: driemaal is scheepsrecht.

Leven op Mars behoort tot de mogelijkheden (en is misschien zelfs al gespot)

Caroline Kraaijvanger

We hebben de metingen van de Viking-landers die suggereerden dat er leven was op Mars wellicht te snel van tafel geveegd. Dat stellen onderzoekers.

Marsrover Curiosity heeft sterke aanwijzingen gevonden dat Mars – een planeet die nu koud en droog is – ooit warm en vochtig was. Het wijst erop dat de planeet miljarden jaren geleden geschikt was voor het ontstaan en in standhouden van leven. Maar is het mogelijk dat de planeet ook vandaag de dag nog levende wezens herbergt? Absoluut, zo schrijven onderzoekers in het blad Astrobiology. In het paper – dat tot 15 november gratis online in te zien is – halen de onderzoekers experimenten van oude en recente Marsmissies aan.

Viking 1 (de lander zit bovenop).

LR-experimenten
Zo komen met name de Viking Labeled Release (LR)-experimenten aan bod. Marslanders Viking 1 en Viking 2 voerden dit experiment op verschillende plekken op Mars uit. Het doel? Nagaan of er microben verstopt zaten in de Marsgrond. De landers voorzagen de Marsgrond van voedingsstoffen en wachtten vervolgens rustig af of er stoffen vrijkwamen – radioactieve koolstofdioxide of methaangas – die erop wezen dat microben de voedingsstoffen tot zich hadden genomen. En jawel, de experimenten wezen erop dat microben in de Marsgrond aan het werk waren. “Hoewel de onderzoekers uiteindelijk concludeerden dat de experimenten Martiaans leven gedetecteerd hadden, was en blijft dit een zeer controversiële conclusie,” zo schrijven de onderzoekers. “Velen geloven dat het Martiaanse milieu schadelijk is voor leven en de LR-metingen niet-biologisch waren en toegeschreven moeten worden aan een nog niet geïdentificeerde oxidant (of oxidanten) in de Marsgrond.”

“HET IS TIJD OM EEN BIOLOGISCHE VERKLARING VOOR DE LR-RESULTATEN TE HEROVERWEGEN”

Niet-biologische verklaring?
Maar we moeten de LR-metingen niet te snel van tafel vegen, zo vinden de onderzoekers. “In de jaren na Viking zijn er veel pogingen gedaan om de LR-resultaten niet-biologisch te verklaren, maar tot op heden is er geen enkele niet-biologische verklaring die aan alle eisen voldoet (…) De algemene consensus ten tijde van Viking was dat de positieve LR-metingen een niet-biologische oorzaak hadden. Maar informatie van latere missies naar Mars trekt hetgeen waarop die consensus gebaseerd is in twijfel en het is tijd om een biologische verklaring voor de LR-resultaten te heroverwegen.”

Water
Zo werd er ten tijde van de Viking-resultaten vaak gezegd dat de aanwezigheid van microben in de Marsgrond onmogelijk was, omdat de planeet geen vloeibaar water bezit. “Maar resultaten van recente missies voorzien ons van sterk bewijs dat vloeibaar water, weliswaar in kleine hoeveelheden, beschikbaar is.” De onderzoekers wijzen er bovendien op dat op aarde verschillende ‘extremofielen’ leven: bacteriën die onder zeer extreme omstandigheden weten te overleven. En als dat hier kan, waarom dan niet op Mars? “Als er ooit leven op Mars aanwezig is geweest, kan het zich hebben aangepast en geëvolueerd zijn terwijl Mars transformeerde en veranderde in een koude planeet waarop weinig water beschikbaar was.” De onderzoekers concluderen dan ook dat levensvormen op Mars wellicht gebruikmaken van cryptobiose: een overlevingsstrategie die organismen onder extreme omstandigheden (zoals kou en een gebrek aan water) inzetten. Hun stofwisseling komt dan op een laag pitje te staan en als de extreme omstandigheden minder worden, voeren ze de stofwisseling weer op. De Martiaanse bacteriën zouden dat laatste bijvoorbeeld doen wanneer er water voorhanden is. “Al met al sluiten de studies naar water op Mars leven niet uit, ongeacht of LR het nu gedetecteerd heeft of niet. Hoewel de beschikbaarheid van water op de landingsplekken van de Viking-landers op het moment dat de LR-experimenten werden uitgevoerd onbekend was, lijkt de aanwezigheid van water op Mars over het algemeen een biologische interpretatie van de LR-experimenten te onderschrijven.”

Organische moleculen
Een andere reden om de aanwezigheid van microben op Mars in twijfel te trekken, was de afwezigheid van organische moleculen: de bouwstenen voor leven zoals dat op aarde voorkomt. Inmiddels weten we dankzij Curiosity echter dat deze moleculen wel degelijk op Mars te vinden zijn.

Methaan
En ook het periodiek vrijkomen van flinke hoeveelheden methaan lijkt voor de aanwezigheid van leven te pleiten, zo stellen de onderzoekers. Het methaan zou door microben geproduceerd worden, zich ondergronds verzamelen en periodiek vrijkomen door toedoen van geologische activiteit.

Verstandig
De onderzoekers willen zeker niet beweren dat de Viking-landers leven hebben gedetecteerd, maar we hebben de mogelijkheid dat er nog leven is op Mars na de LR-experimenten wel te snel van tafel geveegd. Afgaande op de meest recente ontdekkingen op Mars lijkt het “verstandig als de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap biologie als een geldige verklaring voor de resultaten van de LR-experimenten ziet”.

Rekening houden met de mogelijkheid dat er nog steeds leven is op of net onder het oppervlak van Mars heeft verstrekkende gevolgen voor toekomstige Marsmissies. Denk dan ruimtemissies die erop gericht zijn om Marsgrond naar de aarde te brengen. Die Marsgrond zou dan immers zomaar buitenaardse levensvormen kunnen bevatten. Ook zouden we tijdens bezoekjes aan Mars nog meer moeite moeten doen om te voorkomen dat aardse microben de rode planeet koloniseren. Dat kan op twee manieren: gebieden die leefbaar lijken, mijden en ruimteschepen goed desinfecteren voor ze vertrekken. “We moeten opmerken dat Mars wellicht al geïnfecteerd is door de vele ruimtevaartuigen die er geland zijn.” De onderzoekers wijzen er vervolgens op dat Viking op unieke wijze gesteriliseerd werd: NASA bakte de sondes 40 uur lang op 110 graden Celsius. Geen enkele ruimtesonde na Viking is op soortgelijke wijze gesteriliseerd. “De LR-experimenten van de Vikinglanders kunnen wel eens de enige zuivere leven detecterende experimenten zijn die we ooit hebben gehad.” Grote vraag blijft: hoe moeten we ze interpreteren? De onderzoekers pleiten voor vervolgonderzoek dat eigenlijk alleen doorgang kan vinden als we op het oppervlak van Mars actief op zoek gaan naar (sporen van) leven.

Spoiler Alert: Hundreds of Stars Have “Strange, Alien Signals”

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope stands out against the breaktaking backdrop of the Sacramento Mountains. 234 stars out of the Sloan's catalogue of over 2.5 million stars are producing an unexplained pulsed signal.

Image: SDSS, Fermilab Visual Media Services

IN BRIEF

When analyzing a spectra of 2.5 million stars, researchers came across 234 that produced the same strange signal — pulses of light at constant time intervals.
The conclusion? Either these are effects of the Sloan instrument itself and data reduction, or they are ETI signals.

A portion of the 234 stars that are sources of the pulsed ETI-like signal. Note that all the stars are in the narrow spectral range F2 to K1, very similar to our own Sun.

Image: Ermanno F. Borra and Eric Trottier

STRANGER THINGS IN SPACE

Too often, when we encounter a seemingly unexplainable occurrence in space, we automatically think Aha! Aliens! It’s not exactly best practice to jump into declaring extraterrestrial life with a snap of a finger. But neither should we be too skeptical. A bit of both, certainly.

That’s why, when Laval University astronomers E.F. Borra and E. Trottier submitted a study about stars producing what appears to be ETI signals, we shouldn’t ignore it, nor swallow it entirely. In any case, the strange phenomena comes from their study of data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Analyzing the spectra of 2.5 million stars, they came across 234 that produced the same strange signal — pulses of light at constant time intervals.

The stars were all “overwhelmingly in the F2 to K1 spectral range,” the authors claimed, very similar to our own Sun. Is it possible that, like our Sun, these stars host a system with intelligent life, and are sending signals to contact other intelligent species?

WITH GREAT CLAIMS COME GREATER BURDEN OF PROOF

To Borra, it seems very likely, especially since the findings match a 2012 study he’d writtenabout ETI signals. The authors easily dismissed three of the five possible explanations to the phenomena and settled on two: either these are effects of the Sloan instrument itself and data reduction, or they are ETI signals.

But are they really? It remains difficult to say, especially since the authors acknowledged that “the signals are due to highly peculiar chemical compositions in a small fraction of galactic halo stars.” And it is very possible to have a subset of stars that behave this way.

This graph shows the number of detected signals by Spectral Type of star.

Image: Ermanno F. Borra and Eric Trottier

Not to mention the paper’s still up for peer review.

As the saying goes, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence,” which theBreakthrough Listen Initiative team quotes in a response to Borra’s findings. The Breakthrough team isn’t too eager about the whole study, giving it a 0 to 1 score on the Rio Scale. That says a lot coming from a group dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial intelligent life.

In this case, we’ll have to stick to the likeliest possibility: the 234 blinking stars are what they are — blinking stars.

NASA Piecing Together the Puzzle for a Journey to Mars

By: David Russell Schilling

Journey to Mars: Beginning of Intergalactic Travel?

The most recent discussion of a 660 million mile Mars mission has centered around Elon Musk and SpaceX’s plans to fly an unmanned mission to the red planet as early as 2018. But NASA is in the thick of helping SpaceX’s Red Dragon reach Mars. The hope is that NASA’s mission to put boots on Mars itself sometime in the 2030s will be helped significantly by what SpaceX learns from its Mars Mission.

The U.S. Congress recently authorized spending for the “Journey to Mars” project although continuing budget problems could delay the project. In the meantime, NASA continues its rover missions with a new Mars rover mission scheduled to land on the planet in 2020.

Journey to Mars

The NASA “Journey to Mars” is expected to include the construction and deployment of a space station, like the ISS, in Mars orbit. The Mars Space Station will serve as a base camp for subsequent missions. Additionally, a number of companies are working on full-size deep space habitats with the bells and whistles needed to take care of astronauts on missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond.

NASA reportedly will not go it alone on missions to Mars. Just as it has done with the International Space Station (ISS), scores of countries will play a role including the European Union, Russia, Japan, China, India, and others.

NASA had planned to launch the InSight Lander for Mars in 2016 but suspended the program due to its inability to repair a leak in the science payload. According to NASA:

“Learning about the interior structure of Mars has been a high priority objective for planetary scientists since the Viking era,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. “We push the boundaries of space technology with our missions to enable science, but space exploration is unforgiving, and the bottom line is that we’re not ready to launch in the 2016 window. A decision on a path forward will be made in the coming months, but one thing is clear: NASA remains fully committed to the scientific discovery and exploration of Mars.”

The following video explains NASA’s plans for its Journey to Mars.

Water Seer Pulls 11 Gallons of Clean Drinking Water From Thin Air

By: Nidhi Goyal

Image courtesy Water Seer

In many parts of the world, the lack of an adequate supply of clean water is a serious problem. As per UNICEF estimates, worldwide, about 2,000 children under the age of five die every day from diarrhoeal diseases and of these some 1,800 deaths are linked to water, sanitation, and hygiene.

In a big breakthrough, VICI-Labs in collaboration with UC Berkeley and the National Peace Corps Association have developed a device with a goal to provide a sustainable source of clean, safe water.

This device is known as “Water Seer.” It relies on simple condensation processes to collect clean water from the atmosphere. It works without using any power source, without generating any sort of pollution or environmental impact, without the need for costly chemicals or maintenance.

Image courtesy Water Seer

How the Water Seer Works:

The Water Seer device has a vertical wind turbine on its top, and it functions by utilizing wind power. It is planted six or more feet into the ground, and then the soil is packed around its metal neck. When the wind spins its internal fan blades, it draws air into the subterranean chamber. Since it is cooler underground, the air condenses into water in the reservoir to create a sort of an artificial well.

This clean drinking water can be delivered to the surface by using a simple pump and hose.

It works well even in areas with a very harsh climate. It can yield up to 37 liters of pure water a day, and the best part is it is priced at just $134.

Denver International Airport conspiracy exhibit features OpenMinds.tv

Conspiracy theories abound when it comes to Denver International Airport, a fact that the airport has embraced in recent years. So much so that they have recently installed a temporary exhibit that covers some of these theories and their prosaic explanations. It even features a story found right here on OpenMinds.tv.

The exhibit can be seen here in the middle of the room on level 5 west of the Jeppesen Terminal near the north security checkpoint.

(Credit: FlyDenver.com)

The exhibit is titled “Conspiracy Theories Uncovered.” If you are visiting the airport anytime soon, you can see the exhibit on the west end of level 5 of the main terminal.

The airport’s website describes the exhibit:

The exhibit features video, artwork, props and more, explaining some of the most pervasive airport conspiracy theories and the ‘real’ explanations behind them. Visitors will enjoy a compilation of all things mysterious, sinister and strange having to do with DEN. This free exhibit is open 24-hours a day.

They also include several picture of it on the website. In the first picture, a screenshot of a story on OpenMinds.tv is featured.

The display including the OpenMinds.tv story.

The OpenMinds.tv story featured in the exhibit was about a large event held to celebrate the midway point of the construction of a large build-out that included a new public plaza and commuter trains from downtown Denver. The event was held in October, 2013, and the theme was alien conspiracies. They tweeted about a secret alien bunker and strange findings to generate mystery around the event.

They even showed a video at the event of former mayors discussing aliens secrets. After we posted the story, airport PR personnel contacted us to make us aware of a video they posted on YouTube about the event. The video can be seen below.

Among the pictures of the exhibit are pictures of the strange findings they tweeted about in 2013.

The strange findings tweeted in 2013 can be seen in the background of this mysterious skull. Scary.

Soldier considers UFO may have been military drone

A Georgia military witness recalls an event from 2005 where a chrome sphere UFO “the size of a basketball” followed his platoon training exercise for two days, according to testimony in Case 79847 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness heard about the UFO from fellow soldiers who were out on a training exercise the previous day. Pictured: Fort Benning, GA.

(Credit: Google)

The witness was serving in the infantry at Fort Benning, GA, when the incident occurred on July 10, 2005.

“The first day half of our platoon went out and then the second day the rest of the platoon would be taken out for the training,” the witness stated.“At the end of the first day, the first half came back going on and on about a UFO. I wasn’t there so I thought they were mistaken or outright making up stories.”

Then on the second day, the second half of the platoon went out to the training grounds.

“Two or three people from the first day also came out with us. Within a half-hour we started hearing a loud buzzing sound. The men who were there the first day start yelling, ‘It’s coming. It’s coming. That’s the noise we heard it make the whole time.”

The witness heard the sound of the object just before seeing it. Pictured: Fort Benning, GA.

(Credit: Google)

The witness looked up to see the object that had been described the day before.

“Sure enough about 50 feet over the tree tops comes this chrome metallic sphere. The buzzing was loud. Like it had a motor going inside it. Though the sphere looked complete. I couldn’t see any openings or ports. It would follow us hovering, and then changed direction and heading. Though it always kept us in line of sight. Sometimes it would go so far out and up that we couldn’t hear the buzzing and could barely see the glint of the chrome in the sun. At least a quarter mile out.”

The witness thinks the object may have been early drone technology.

“I always thought it was a drone. This was 2005 so drone designs were coming out every day. I thought for sure someday I would get an explanation. I always was sure it was our own military using my platoon as training for this object. The funny part is the closest thing to someone else seeing something like that and matching my story was a UFO encounter. But I’m still sure you’re going to read this and go, ‘Yeah, yeah. It’s some never-made-it U.S. drone design.’ If that is the case, sorry for wasting your time. If it wasn’t for my buddy hearing my story and making me fill out reports, I never would have said anything. I mean it was like 11 years ago.”

The witness believes the object may have been some type of military drone that was being tested. Pictured: Fort Benning, GA.

Ft. Benning is a United States Army base straddling the Alabama-Georgia border next to Columbus, Georgia. Georgia MUFON State Director Ralph Howard 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.

Toch iets buitenaards? Onverklaarbaar object vastgelegd boven Pijnacker

Donderdag is rond 18.30 uur een onverklaarbaar object vastgelegd in de lucht boven Pijnacker. Dat meldt Telstar Online.

De UFO, die door een verslaggever van de krant is gefilmd, was bolvormig van kleur, gaf een witte schittering af en vloog op grote hoogte voorbij.

Bij UFO Meldpunt Nederland zouden donderdagavond veel meer meldingen zijn gedaan over een soortgelijk vliegend object.

Intelligentie

“Een vliegtuig was het zeker niet, misschien een weerballon of toch iets buitenaards,” zei Martijn Mastenbroek, die iedere week een radioprogramma presenteert waarin het gaat over onder andere graancirkels en UFO’s.

“Er wordt altijd lacherig gedaan als het over dit soort zaken gaat,” zegt Mastenbroek. “Maar wat is waarschijnlijker? Een man die drie dagen in de buik van een walvis zit, iets wat miljoenen mensen geloven, of een soort van intelligentie in een stelsel dat is ontstaan onder dezelfde omstandigheden als op aarde?”

Experts: Mysterieus stuk aluminium is onderdeel van 250.000 jaar oude UFO

Een 250.000 jaar oud stuk aluminium wordt gezien als bewijs dat de aarde is bezocht door aliens. Aluminium wordt eigenlijk pas de laatste 200 jaar op grote schaal gebruikt door de mens.

De ontdekking van een groot stuk dat mogelijk honderdduizenden jaren oud is, wordt dan ook gezien als een sensationele vondst. Het stuk werd in 1973 ontdekt in het communistische Roemenië, maar werd gelijk opgeborgen.

Bouwvakkers stuitten langs de rivier de Mures op 10 meter diepte op drie voorwerpen. Archeologen stelden vrijwel gelijk vast dat twee van de voorwerpen fossielen waren.

Lichte soort metaal

Het derde leek op een stuk door mensen gemaakt metaal en men vermoedde dat het om een stuk van een bijl ging. Alle voorwerpen werden voor analyse naar een lab in de stad Cluj gestuurd.

De twee botten bleken toe te behoren aan een groot uitgestorven dier dat tussen 10.000 en 80.000 jaar geleden over de aarde zwierf. Het derde voorwerp was een erg lichte soort metaal.

Oud aluminium voorwerp (CEN)

Het voorwerp bestaat uit 12 soorten metaal (90 procent aluminium) en is gedateerd op 250.000 jaar oud. Een lab in het Zwitserse Lausanne kwam tot dezelfde conclusies.

Fragment van een UFO

Het voorwerp is 20 centimeter lang, 12,5 centimeter breed en zeven centimeter dik. Het stuk metaal bevat gaten, waardoor het lijkt alsof het onderdeel is geweest van een mechanisch systeem.

Op internet wordt momenteel een verhit debat gevoerd over de vraag of het object onderdeel is van een UFO en bewijs voor buitenaards bezoek in een ver verleden.

Gheorghe Cohal van de Roemeense Vereniging van Ufologen vertelde aan lokale media: “Labresultaten tonen aan dat het een fragment van een UFO is.”

Onbekend

De lokale historicus Mihai Wittenberger claimde dat het voorwerp afkomstig is van een Duits gevechtsvliegtuig uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

Het metalen voorwerp wordt tentoongesteld in het historisch museum van Cluj-Napoca. Bij het voorwerp staat een bord met daarop de tekst: ‘Herkomst nog onbekend’.

Mysterieuze Planeet X ‘deed het hele zonnestelsel kantelen’

Planeet X deed mogelijk het hele zonnestelsel kantelen, zo zeggen onderzoekers. In januari presenteerden sterrenkundigen bewijs voor het bestaan van een nog onbekende planeet in het zonnestelsel.

Onderzoekers suggereren dat deze wereld 10 keer zo zwaar is als de aarde en op een afstand die 500 keer groter is dan de afstand tussen de aarde en de zon om onze ster draait.

Uit eerder onderzoek bleek dat Planeet X een sterk gekantelde baan heeft. Wetenschappers hebben vervolgens onderzocht of de planeet ook andere gekantelde banen in het zonnestelsel kan verklaren.

Computersimulaties

Volgens hoofdonderzoeker Elizabeth Bailey van het California Institute of Technology in Pasadena kan Planeet X de andere planeten in het verleden hebben gekanteld.

Eerder bleek al dat de zone waarin de acht planeten om de zon draaien, zes graden gekanteld is ten opzichte van de zon.

Bailey en haar collega’s voerden computersimulaties uit waaruit blijkt dat de kanteling van de acht officiële planeten kan worden verklaard door de zwaartekracht van Planeet X.

Andere mogelijkheden

Er zijn ook andere mogelijkheden. Een alternatieve verklaring is dat elektrisch geladen deeltjes onder invloed van het magnetisch veld van de zon het zonnestelsel hebben gekanteld.

Als Planeet X wordt gevonden, kunnen de onderzoekers kijken of de planeet echt verantwoordelijk is voor de kanteling. Het onderzoek is gepresenteerd tijdens een bijeenkomst in Californië.

Bekijk hieronder een filmpje over het onderzoek:

Mysterieuze Planeet X ‘deed het hele zonnestelsel kantelen’

Planeet X deed mogelijk het hele zonnestelsel kantelen, zo zeggen onderzoekers. In januari presenteerden sterrenkundigen bewijs voor het bestaan van een nog onbekende planeet in het zonnestelsel.

Onderzoekers suggereren dat deze wereld 10 keer zo zwaar is als de aarde en op een afstand die 500 keer groter is dan de afstand tussen de aarde en de zon om onze ster draait.

Uit eerder onderzoek bleek dat Planeet X een sterk gekantelde baan heeft. Wetenschappers hebben vervolgens onderzocht of de planeet ook andere gekantelde banen in het zonnestelsel kan verklaren.

Computersimulaties

Volgens hoofdonderzoeker Elizabeth Bailey van het California Institute of Technology in Pasadena kan Planeet X de andere planeten in het verleden hebben gekanteld.

Eerder bleek al dat de zone waarin de acht planeten om de zon draaien, zes graden gekanteld is ten opzichte van de zon.

Bailey en haar collega’s voerden computersimulaties uit waaruit blijkt dat de kanteling van de acht officiële planeten kan worden verklaard door de zwaartekracht van Planeet X.

Andere mogelijkheden

Er zijn ook andere mogelijkheden. Een alternatieve verklaring is dat elektrisch geladen deeltjes onder invloed van het magnetisch veld van de zon het zonnestelsel hebben gekanteld.

Als Planeet X wordt gevonden, kunnen de onderzoekers kijken of de planeet echt verantwoordelijk is voor de kanteling. Het onderzoek is gepresenteerd tijdens een bijeenkomst in Californië.

NU OOK UFO'S BIJ CHEMTRAIL BOVEN KEULEN, DUITSLABD (VIDEO

NU OOK UFO'S BIJ CHEMTRAIL BOVEN KEULEN, DUITSLABD (VIDEO)

Onlangs zagen we hoe een UFO korte metten maakte met een enorme chemtrail boven de Franse stad Parijs.

Er zijn nu filmbeelden opgedoken van UFO’s die een chemtrail boven de Duitse stad Keulen lijken te inspecteren.

Vreemde ronde UFO’s die zich ophouden in de buurt van chemtrails of deze zelfs doen verdwijnen zoals onlangs gebeurde boven Parijs.

De opname hieronder is gemaakt op 20 augustus van dit jaar boven de Duitse stad Keulen.

Een man met de naam Waldemar Czarnetzki maakte een video-opname van deze UFO’s, die er toch weer iets anders uitzien dan die die we bezig zagen boven Parijs.

Deze lijken op het eerste gezicht ook op een soort solide ronde bollen, maar zijn dat bij nader inzien toch ook weer niet. Ze lijken meer op een soort pluizenbollen die ook verschillende groottes hebben.

Of dit werkelijk zo is, of dat het komt door de vertekening van de camera, is niet duidelijk. Wat wel duidelijk is, is dat we hier te maken hebben met zeer snel vliegende objecten zoals blijkt uit de video. Objecten die ook duidelijk onder een soort intelligente besturing staan en die niet zomaar wat heen en weer vliegen.

Van wat wij kunnen begrijpen van het Spaanse commentaar bij de volgende video, kwamen deze UFO’s opdagen, net nadat er een grote chemtrail door een passerend vliegtuig was achtergelaten.

Vanwege de overeenkomsten, hierbij nog een deel uit het eerdere artikel over de UFO die een chemtrail (deels) vernietigt boven Parijs.

Wat ze niet laten zien op de televisie zijn beelden zoals die hierna volgen en die gemaakt zijn in Parijs op 26 september 2016.

Ook daar, net als hier, enorme chemtrails en dan verschijnt er opeens een ronde UFO in beeld.

xxx

Maar, wat heel bijzonder is, is dat na verloop van tijd de chemtrail rondom de UFO begint op te lossen.

xxx

De man die het geheel heeft gefilmd zegt het volgende:

"Ik dacht eerst dat het een drone of een helikopter was. Maar na het observeren van dit object gedurende een minuut of tien kreeg ik het vermoeden dat het misschien toch niet menselijk was. Het voerde vreemde bewegingen uit, dan weer heel snel en dan weer heel langzaam, zonder dat er een bepaald patroon te herkennen was.

Toen de UFO zich opeens in de richting van een enorme chemtrail bewoog, pakte ik snel mijn camera en probeerde het object te filmen.

Het bleef voor de chemtrail hangen en begon het langzaam te vernietigen. Het leek alsof het de chemtrail langzaam aan het “opeten” was. Ik was totaal sprakeloos.

Ik kan er nog steeds niet over uit dat ik zoiets heb weten vast te leggen. De chemtrail werd echt letterlijk “doorboord”. Ik ben er niet 100 procent zeker van dat dit gebeurd is door het object, maar ik weet zeker dat er een verband is tussen de UFO en de chemtrail.

Een dergelijke grote chemtrail kan niet zomaar vanzelf verdwijnen zonder aanleiding. En alleen een klein deel van de chemtrail wordt vernietigd, net het gedeelte rondom de UFO.

Nadat de UFO de chemtrail had “aangevallen”, begon het achterwaarts te bewegen en vloog weg in westelijke richting. Het verdween behoorlijk snel.

The Book of Enoch and the Nephilim

Ever since its translation in 1800 from ancient texts discovered in Ethiopia in 1768, the Book of Enoch has created a stir in academic circles. Enoch has been proven to have existed and was mentioned before the existence of the church. Several copies of it were discovered in 1948 among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Some even believe we can trace back stories that have great similarities to Ancient Summer.

Parts of the Book of Enoch tell the story of the evil angels who kidnapped and paired with human women, resulting in the creation of a hybrid race known throughout the secular and biblical history as the Nephilim.

The first parts of the book detail the interaction of the Fallen Angles with Mankind:

“…And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: “I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.” And they all answered him and said: “Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.” Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it…”

This is how the Nephilim, aka Giants, were created, as described in the book:

“…And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three hundred ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood…”

In the introduction to the Book of Enoch we read that: “Enoch is a just man, whose eyes were opened by God so that he saw a vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the sons of God showed to me, and from them I heard everything, and I knew what I saw, but [these things that I saw will] not [come to pass] for this generation, but for a generation that has yet to come.”

While it only covers the first four verses of Genesis 6 (also refer to Genesis 3:15, 2 Peter 2:4-6, Jude 6-7), Enoch refers to this story in great detail. In fact, we are able to find a list with names of 18 prefect Angels –out of a total of 200— who committed the great sin.

Interestingly, this ancient text also details how these fallen angels taught mankind how to make swords and knives, shields and breastplates (metallurgy)… magic medicine, root-cuttings (medicinal and hallucinogenic use), incantations, astrology, the course of the moon, as well as how to deceive man;

“…And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all coloring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl, taught astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun, and Sariêl the course of the moon…”(Source)

By the time of Noah, “Earth was already corrupt before God, and the Earth was filled with violence, all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.”

Fearing the consequences, the fallen angels called upon Enoch to speak with God on their behalf.

But God used Enoch to deliver a message of judgment against the Fallen Angels.

God did not forgive them for teaching mankind the use of the arts of magic and form of war.

This, however, is summarized in great detail by Pastor Chris Ward.

“According to the Book of Enoch (Not a Canonical Text), God judged the angels for producing the Nephilim. God decreed that the fallen angels (Watchers) were to be cast into Tartarus. The Nephilim were also judged, and it was determined that their bodies were to return to the earth in peace, but their souls were doomed to wander the earth forever (as) wandering spirits…”

What the hell is this? NASA photo reveals mysterious black object over Mars

Photos beamed back from the martian surface by NASA show a barren landscape devoid of any life.

But one image reveals something totally unexpected – a dark black orb hanging in the air.

The photo is the latest in a series of pictures cited as evidence of alien life by UFO fanatics.

BARREN: This seemingly dead landscape shows an alien UFO, according to some

In one recent discovery, a man from Bristol spotted what looked like a sphinx on Mars in a NASA image.

Another photo of a woman bathing in her bikini seemed to show a flying saucer soaring in the skies behind her.

Even a picture of a government convoy made headlines, after it was said to show a UFO being transported under canvas.

Top secret CIA files about UFOs reveal, however, that the US government has investigated the phenomenon.

It shows an area near Husband Hill, Gusev Crater, which was photographed by the NASA robot on March 16, 2014.

Sept. 26: NASA Sets to Release Details of ‘Surprising Activity’ on Europa, Many Speculate Alien Life

The rumors about alien life have once again appeared. This time, the rumors were started by an announcement made by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

According to NASA, it will hold a teleconference on Monday, Sept. 26, 2016, to present new findings from images of Europa, one of the largest of Jupiter’s 67 known moons, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Europa is said to be the sixth-closest moon of Jupiter, and the smallest of its four Galilean satellites, as well as the sixth-largest moon in the solar system. Its distance to Earth is approximately 628.3 million km.

NASA said in a statement: “Astronomers will present results from a unique Europa observing campaign that resulted in surprising evidence of activity that may be related to the presence of a subsurface ocean on Europa.”

NASA said participants in the teleconference will include: Paul Hertz, director of NASA’s Astrophysics Division; William Sparks of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore; Britney Schmidt of the Georgia Institute of Technology; and Jennifer Wiseman, senior Hubble project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Immediately after NASA issued the statement, fevered speculations about alien life appeared on social media. The speculations emerged due to researchers in the past having said Europa is one of the best places to find alien life in the solar system. In fact, some astrobiologists have even theorized that organisms could survive in its oceans.

In late 2013, it is said the Hubble telescope observed water vapor erupting from Europa. Many researchers hailed the development as a ‘tremendously exciting’ discovery.

Even before the 2013 discovery, previous scientific findings on Europa had revealed existence of a possible ocean located under its icy crust. Researchers who made the discovery theorized then, that if the ice on the surface of the moon is drilled to the ground, oceans will be detected. This discovery on Europa fueled the debate about the possibility of alien life. Lorenz Roth of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio said at the time, that if the plumes of vapor were connected to the ocean beneath the crust, they could start searching for life nearer the surface.

The Telegraph quoted him as saying: “This means that future investigations can directly investigate the chemical makeup of Europa’s potentially habitable environment without drilling through layers of ice. And that is tremendously exciting.”

In this current announcement by NASA, when speculations about a possible alien life on Europa began trending on social media, NASA tweeted to quash the rumors.

Extraterrestrial life, commonly referred to as alien life, is a life that does not originate from the Earth. Some cosmologists believe alien life ranges from simple bacteria-like organisms to civilizations that are far more advanced than that of human beings.

Some exobiologists also suspect that alien life exists, although there is no empirical evidence to prove it. Exobiology is the knowledge and study of alien life.

Since the mid-20th century, there has been a significant surge in the search for signs of alien intelligence by researchers. Radios have been deployed to detect possible extraterrestrial signals and telescopes have also been mounted to search for potentially habitable extra solar planets.

Many science fiction movies on alien life have also been released to the public. This has increased the public interest in the search for alien life, especially among the western public. Some researchers encourage aggressive methods to try and contact alien life, however, some also believe that contacting aliens will be dangerous for humanity.

Particularly this year, a possible detection of alien life, or planets occupied by aliens, has appeared many times in the media.

In August 2016, the German investigative weekly news magazine, Der Spiegel, revealed that researchers at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) have discovered a new Earth-like planet with water. Several attempts by journalists to have the ESO confirm or deny the report by Der Spiegel proved futile, prompting some conspiracy theorists to say the organization has discovered a planet inhabited by aliens, and is hiding it from the public.

Recently also, Russian astronomers engaged in the Search of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, detected a strong mysterious radio signal on a sun-like star, around 94 light years from Earth. Light years is a unit of length used informally to express astronomical distances. One light year is approximately 9 trillion kilometers. According to the Russian researchers, the strange signal was detected from the direction of HD164595. This revelation sparked alien life speculation.

Stay with us for the latest on what NASA has discovered on Europa. We are following the event closely.

Alien Harvesting : A Phenomenon simply can’t be explained

According to her research Dr. Turner believes that humans are being used as a “resource” by these aliens in many ways:

“The evidence shows that the aliens do harvest from us in a number of ways, emotionally and energetically as well as physically. There are even reported scenarios of facilities in which human bodies are “processed,” and many such reports come from people unfamiliar with ufological literature.”

Here is part of a list she put together based on countless abduction accounts, research and analysis:

In every instance from this list, there are multiple reports from unrelated cases, confirming that such bizarre details are not the product of a single deranged mind.

These details are convincing evidence that, contrary to the claims of many UFO researchers, the abduction experience isn’t limited to a uniform pattern of events.

This phenomenon simply can’t be explained in terms of cross-breeding experiments or scientific research into the human physiology.

Aliens can alter our perception of our surroundings.

Aliens can control what we think we see. They can appear to us in any number of guises and shapes.

Aliens can take us – our consciousness – out of our physical bodies, disable our control of our bodies, install one of their own entities, and use our bodies as vehicles for their own activities before returning our consciousness to our bodies.

Aliens can be present with us in an invisible state and can make themselves only partially visible.

Aliens take body fluids from our necks, spines, blood veins, joints such as knees and wrists, and other places. They also inject unknown fluids into various parts of our bodies.

A surprising number of abductees suffer from serious illnesses they didn’t have before their encounters. These have led to surgery, debilitation, and even death from causes the doctors can’t identify.

Some abductees experience a degeneration of their mental, social, and spiritual well-being. Excessive behavior frequently erupts, such as drug abuse, alcoholism, overeating, and promiscuity. Strange obsessions develop and cause the disruption of normal life and the destruction of personal relationships.

Aliens show a great interest in adult sexuality, child sexuality, and in inflicting physical pain on abductees.

Abductees recall being instructed and trained by aliens. This training may be in the form of verbal or telepathic lessons, slide shows, or actual hands-on instruction in the operation of alien technology.

Abductees report being taken to facilities in which they encounter not only aliens but also normal-looking humans, sometimes in military uniforms, working with the alien captors.

Abductees often encounter more than one sort of alien during an experience, not just the grays. Every possible combination of gray, reptoid, insectoid, blond, and widow’s peak have been seen during single abductions, aboard the same craft or in the same facility.

Abductees report seeing other humans in these facilities being drained of blood, being mutilated, flayed, and dismembered, stacked, lifeless like cords of wood. Some abductees have been threatened that they, too, will end up in this condition if they don’t co-operate with their alien captors.

Aliens have forced their human abductees to have sexual intercourse with aliens and even with other abductees while groups of aliens observe these performances. In such encounters, the aliens have sometimes disguised themselves in order to gain the cooperation of the abductee, appearing in such forms as Jesus, the Pope, certain celebrities, and even the dead spouses of the abductees.

Aliens make predictions of an imminent period of global chaos and destruction. They say that a certain number of humans will be “rescued” from the planet in order to continue the species, either on another planet or back on earth after the destruction is over. Many abductees report they don’t believe their alien captors and foresee instead a much more sinister use of the “rescued” humans.

SCIENCE CONFIRMS THAT PEOPLE ABSORB ENERGY FROM OTHERSPUBLISHED

Did it ever happen to you, when you were with a person and you felt a bad vibe, as if the person was stealing your energy?

Our bodies are like sponges, absorbing energy that is around us. This is exactly why there are people who feel uncomfortable when they are in a certain group with a mixture of energy and emotions.

German biologist Olaf Kruse was in charge of the research, and its findings were reported on Nature.com.

This inspired Olivia Bader-Lee, a physician and therapist, to research the topic further and what she discovered was incredible. The science that studies the behavior of energy in living things is known as Bioenergetics.

Bioenergetics is a field in biochemistry and cell biology that concerns [energy] flow through living systems.

This is an active area of biological research that includes the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms and the study of thousands of different cellular processes such as cellular respiration and the many other metabolic processes that can lead to production and utilization of energy in forms such as ATP molecules.

SCIENTIST BRIAN COX SAYS HE KNOWS WHY WE HAVEN'T FOUND ALIENS. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!

Intelligent aliens might have destroyed themselves, says renowned English physicist.

The renowned English physicist Brian Cox, an Advanced Fellow of particle physics at the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester has issued a gloomy prediction about the possibility of aliens contacting human beings in the near future. According to Cox, humanity will not receive a message from intelligent extra-terrestrial life at any time in the imminent future, and it is likely that Earth will never receive a message at all.

Owing to the nature of the infinite vastness of space it is a commonplace to believe that extra-terrestrial must be out there somewhere in the cosmos. However, in response to that a physicist named Enrico Fermi put forward what is known as the Fermi paradox. Essentially, the Fermi paradox suggests that while there is strong evidence for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, there is equally strong evidence that it does not exist. If aliens are out there, why have they not attempted to make contact with Earth yet?

Dr Cox believes that he could have the answer. “One solution to the Fermi paradox is that it is not possible to run a world that has the power to destroy itself and that needs global collaborative solutions to prevent that, ” he said “it may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster.”

What this means is that when a species of intelligent approaches a certain level of technological, scientific knowledge their political system may act to render the species extinct. Chillingly, the physicist has suggested that humanity itself might be approaching this position.

This does not mean that human beings will never come across alien life in the universe, it just means that the life will not be as advanced as humans are. It is likely that the first form of alien life human beings will discover will be single celled organisms concealed in planets or other celestial bodies with oceans such as one of Saturn’s moons, Dione or Europa, or perhaps a relatively nearby planet referred to as Proxima B.

SECRET UNDERGROUND BASES AND CLONING CENTERS

THIS IS NO CONSPIRACY AT ALL! Cloning centers are real, and they are nothing new!!! Cloning, chimerism, DNA tampering, and DNA modification have even existed during the Time of Noah… I hope this is ringing some alarm bells!!!

Many celebrities, entertainers, athletes, musicians, models, writers, producers, actors, all kinds of people from various industries are silently brought to the cloning centers for “pay-to-play sessions.”

They asked me to pass the message on to you and that you would have to look for the signs and symbols in their media in order to see their hinting at these events. The situation is heavily controlled using advanced monitoring technology and brainwave/EEG cloning technology.

The Elite who control the world have been keeping a very dark secret for many years now and it’s getting to the point where the truth is about to be revealed. This will sound crazy but this is an important part to the whole thing.

After world war 2 the Nazi’s discovered how to clone humans through a process which involved agitating the human tissue and letting the cells heal until it grew a fully formed person, they also discovered that when a person is in the R.E.M cycle of sleep they could transfer the consciousness of that person into their clone.

Now there are cloning centers all over the world and these are the places where the top politicians and religious sectors of society meet in secret to discuss matters concerning the world…you may know them as the Illuminati. Celebrities started to attend a short time after.

NAVY ENGINEER: I SAW ANCIENT RUINS, ALIENS, AND TOP-SECRET BASES IN ANTARCTICA!

It is possible that a remnant of a highly advanced civilization still remain in warmer underground caverns of Antarctica?

Why did the Nazis launch an expensive expedition to the South Pole in 1938?

The mysteries surrounding the Antarctic are many, answers are few, but theories abound which connect Operations Paperclip and High-Jump, to secret hidden facilities and ancient technologies, human experimentation and discovered hidden entrances.

While the mainstream news recently reported on further explorations in the Antarctica which they claim "holds the key" to mankind's future", what they do not do is connect the many dots which blur the lines between conspiracy and reality.

On January 2nd, 2015 the editor of website earthfiles.com received a very unexpected letter from an alleged retired U.S. Navy Petty Officer First Class Flight Engineer.

He claims that a collaboration between humans and aliens exist, and that the Antarctica is a major research ground for these incredible collaborations.

Astronomers Detect Intelligent LASER Communications Between 234 Alien Star Systems

Even more intriguing is the fact that the signals come from Sun-like stars.

A team of Canadian astrophysicists working with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) telescopes have discovered unusual activity in 234 star systems that could be interpreted as signs of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). The data gathered by the scientists suggests the signals originate from the stars themselves, which means the senders must be advanced enough to divert and manipulate the energy output of their parent star. This indicates that the rise of Type II civilizations on the Kardashev scale in our galaxy might be much more common than previously thought.

In a recently-published paper, Professors Ermano F. Borra and Eric Trottier of the Laval University in Quebec argue that the unusual character of the light pulses coming from 234 sun-like stars could be the result of broadcasts intended to crisscross interstellar space.

The paper describes the anomalies as “peculiar periodic spectral modulations in a small fraction of solar type stars.” These modulations could originate from extremely powerful lasers or even from the manipulation of the star’s light output by a sufficiently advanced ETI. The former hypothesis is supported by the fact that the signals themselves appear embedded in their corresponding star’s light spectrum. It makes sense that an advanced alien civilization knows where others would be looking when searching for signs of intelligent life.

“The fact that only a small fraction of stars, in a narrow spectral range centered near the spectral type of the sun, has the signal in agreement with the ETI hypothesis since we intuitively would expect that solar type stars would have ETI and only a small fraction of them would have ETI,” the authors wrote.

What makes these essentially LASER signals more puzzling is the fact that they all alike. Data shows that all of the two hundred and thirty-four signals were emitted in a very narrow spectral range (think of it as light frequency) as if part of a greater array or even as a result of a fixed galactic frequency being in order.

“The ETI hypothesis requires that all different ETI transmitters choose to broadcast with the same time separation of pulses and one may wonder why they do so. This is a highly speculative issue that may have several explanations. A possible explanation that makes sense is that all ETI use the same time separation to make it clear that the pulses all come from ETI.“

Extensive statistical analysis ruled out instrument flukes or corrupt data gathered from the stars. The astrophysicists considered other possible causes for the signals, but none matched their precise spectral profile.

This sounds too good to be true but wait, it gets even better.

Long before these signals were detected, Prof. Borra theorized their very existence and characteristics and published his findings in Cornell University’s arXiv scientific archive. In the paper, he detailed how such signals could be hidden within the star’s visible emissions but still recognizable in data gathered by those who know what to look for.

PROF. BORRA’S PREDICTIONS MATCH THE FINDINGS PERFECTLY

“Theory, confirmed by published experiments, shows that periodic signals in spectra can be easily generated by sending light pulses separated by constant time intervals,” Prof. Borra wrote. “[…] In particular, technology now available on Earth could be used to send signals having the required energy to be detected at a target located 1000 light years away. Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI) could use these signals to make us aware of their existence.”

In all likelihood, these findings will be subjected to scientific scrutiny in the following period and if the allegations of Prof. Borra stand true, his work might make him the man of the decade. Nay, the century.

The discovery of ETIs or better yet, the uncovering of clues about their presence would herald a new age for humanity. If extremely advanced alien civilizations exist in our galaxy and even more, communicate with each other on established frequencies, we want in.

Surely, if they choose to broadcast their presence, they must have somehow overcome the great peril proposed by Stephen Hawking. The physicist believes we should be wary of contacting civilizations that are way ahead of us, lest we end up like the Aztecs, who were mercilessly slaughtered by Cortés’ superior forces.

In their paper’s conclusion, Prof. Borra and Trottier emphasize the highly speculative nature of their argument and the need for further research. Still, they contacted SETI scientists, who were very receptive to the subject.

UFO RESEARCHER TEXTED 'IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME, INVESTIGATE' TO MUM, THEN FOUND DEAD

When UFO Theorist Max Spiers was found dead in his home in Poland it was quickly determined that the 39-year-old father of two died from natural causes. However, there are those including Spiers own family who questioned how a young relatively healthy man could die of natural causes.

UFO EXPERT FOUND DEAD IN HOME

Add to this the fact that Spiers reported sent a text message to his mother Vanessa Bates that stated:

"Your boy's in trouble. If anything happens to me, investigate." that he had sent to her just days before he was found dead.

Then there is the fact that it was quickly judged as natural causes with no autopsy being done at the time and there are reasons for red flags for the family as well as others online are having a hard time accepting this cause of death. According to reports, Spiers was known to investigate major cover-ups by governments when it came to UFO activity. Spiers had made quite a name for himself in trying to get to the truth, but could try to get there have cost him his life?

Those who follow conspiracy theories online seem to think so, and Spiers family believes it could be the case as well with good reason. It took awhile for an autopsy to be done on Spiers body which took place in Kent, but get this as of yet no results on the findings have been released to his family. So, all his mother has to go on at the moment is the local authorities in Poland telling her that he died from natural causes and a disturbing text message sent by her son days before. If Spiers knew his life was in danger, he would have wanted someone he felt he could trust to know, that would be his mother. So far she refuses to believe that her healthy young son died from natural causes but like many others suspects that her son met with foul play as these quotes clearly prove:

"He was making a name for himself in the world of conspiracy theorists and had been invited to speak at a conference in Poland in July.

"He was staying with a woman who he had not known for long and she told me how she found him dead on the sofa.

"But I think Max had been digging in some dark places and I fear that somebody wanted him dead."

So, is Vanessa and the theorist online correct did Max Spiers meet with foul play by those who didn't want his findings on UFO activity made public? There is no way of knowing for sure, but one thing is certain things don't truly add up here when it comes to his death.

Delaware: Flashing UFO Appears To Chase An Orange Orb

ufo-delaware

A woman claims a flashing unidentified flying object jammed her video camera when she tried to record it.

YouTube user Starlings Of Light uploaded the video of the sighting. The footage shows an unusual object illuminating red, blue and green.
A circular shape of flashing lights appears to form.

Melody, who recorded the sighting on video, said the craft was chasing an orange orb that had appeared earlier.

She added in the video commentary that it was moving in circular motion and producing a humming noise.

Melody wasn’t sure whether it was a military helicopter chasing the orange glowing orb or it was an alien spacecraft.

From the witness’ point of view, it looks circular with blinking lights.

The video was reportedly recorded on a Sunday in the night sky above Sussex County, Delaware in the U.S.

Melody further claimed that she experienced an error with her camera when she initially tried to film the unusual activity. Her camcorder flashed up an “SD card error reading.”

She decided to go inside her trailer with aluminum siding to get another SD card, but to her surprise, it worked fine.

She’s not sure whether the strange craft had caused her camera to malfunction or it was just a weird incidence.

According to conspiracy theories, aluminum can block electromagnetic radiation from ET spaceships.

Dozens of People Posted Videos and Pictures To Social Media Of A UFO Hovering Over a Geneva stadium

triangle-ufo

A disc-shaped object was spotted and videotaped hovering near a stadium in Geneva. It left hundreds of people wondering if aliens were watching them.

The UFO had three lights, and many people saw it hovering over a stadium last Wednesday.

Dozens of people posted pictures and video of their sighting to social media sites.

The flying object in question was reportedly making a shrill noise as it appearing over La Praille area of the city for about 20 seconds before it went out of sight.

Among baffled witnesses was Uruguayan football player Matias Vitkieviez. He posted a video on Facebook with the caption that asks everyone if they also saw the same thing as him. He expressed astonishment to see a UFO above the industrial area behind the stage of La Praille.

Meanwhile, skeptics suggested that the UFO was probably just a drone with LED lights.

Daytime UFO captured over Curitiba, Brazil

curitiba-ufo

Here’s one older UFO sighting that was filmed in the sky above Curitiba in Brazil.

Witness report:

Hi, first of all i would like to apologize for my english, i will translate in google… on January 10, 2014 I was with my wife playing with my goddaughter on the playground in the building where I lived. while they played I sat on a bench and began to look at the sky.

summer her in Brazil were approximately 7pm summer time. I noticed that there was something “pulsing” in the sky but could not see anything, just that light. I watched it for about 20 minutes so I decided to go up to my apartment and see with the camera which could be that.
I used a camera sony h-100 Zoom 42x, first took a picture and then started shooting. the object was too far away, the naked eye could only see the pulsating light but with the camera I noticed it was a metal object, at one end had a light beating.
the object was exactly 90 degrees about me, it was bad to shoot because the zoom is at the most and I was shooting over my head, so the footage was blurry. it was hard to focus on the object, as was still day and could not see right in the camera display, and often had to zoom out to find the object in the sky. I filmed for 5 minutes and I got tired of holding the camera above my head and frustrated to not be able to focus on the object. I went down on the playground again and watched the object for another 15/20 minutes standing in the same position in the sky and then i can’t see it again.

Nevada: UFOs flying towards Area 51

area-51

This mysterious crafts were filmed over Las Vegas area on 18th October 2016. They were all flying towards infamous Area 51.

Witness report:

I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of October 18, 2016.
I believe these are the same objects I have filmed many times in this same location. As the objects move they appear to be headed in the same direction that Area 51 is located. From the 19:10:47 to 19:11:18 marks an object is going upward at a high rate of speed. I still can’t believe the incredible things that go on out here in the middle of the Mojave Desert. For the record, no alterations were made to the video other than making a copy and speeding it up by five times.

UFOs on the Walls of Churches in Romania?

by Dan D. Farcas, PhD - author of UFOs over Romania

Strange object on a fresco from
Sighisoara monastery

As the famous castle of Dracula in Transylvania goes up for sale it is a a remarkable coincidence that featured in my new book is a medieval painting from a church in Transylvania that some researchers believe depicts a UFO (see below).

In Romania, everyday people, especially in the countryside, always considered the heavenly apparitions not as something impossible but as "divine signs" that can happen normally, though rarely. There are countless testimonies in this regard. This belief was reinforced by the fact that the holy characters of the Christian religion, from the Old and the New Testament were seen on occasion coming down from heavens and returning whence they came.

In past centuries, when, in Romania, most of the population was illiterate, religious teachings were spread and reinforced by the use of frescoes, depicting biblical scenes, covering the walls of churches both indoors and often also outdoors as well. Even if these scenes evoke ancient events and distant lands, the painters painted men and buildings as they knew them in the environment they lived. Similarly, we can assume that they sometimes painted such holy characters in heavenly vehicles that resemble certain celestial objects that they saw themselves flying in the sky (Comets, meteors etc), or that were reported by witnesses of strange airborne apparitions. In areas with Orthodox religion there are many such representations in a variety of different churches.

The city of Târgovişte was the capital of Walachia for several centuries. The construction of the Princely Church in the city was completed in 1583. The frescoes inside have not been repainted but only retouched with all of the original figures and objects remaining exactly the same. As the Romanian journalist Gabriel Tudor noted, on the west wall of the nave, the fresco depicting the moment of receiving the tablets of the Law by Moses on Mount Sinai (the ten commandments), we see a character not mentioned in the Bible: depicted as an angel and placed between two concentric circles, looking as if it had just come out to watch the proceedings. What are those two circles? In any case, surely not clouds which are clearly represented in the nearby paintings in a completely different manner. Also they can not be stars or the moon, because on the same fresco the sun is seen, whose rays are prominently depicted to draw attention that the scene takes place in broad daylight. Could it be that the two circles are a graphic representation, in a primitive manner, of a disc-shaped UFO with a domed top, which the anonymous painter, having not a very good capacity to represent things in a three-dimensional perspective, drew as a circle inside another circle?

The writer and researcher of mythology Victor Kernbach (1923-1995), in his book “Enigmele miturilor astrale” (Riddles of astral myths), detailed that similar frescoes have been in churches from Bucharest as the (old) “Saint Spiridon” and “Bucur”. Unfortunately, the first was demolished under the communist regime, but the second exists today and the pictorial representations are of the same type as those at the Princely Church of Târgovişte.

As the Romania author Călin Turcu (1942-2006) noted in his book “Extratereștrii în România” (Aliens in Romania), “On the walls of the chapel Lainici (Gorj County) can be distinguished a picture quite different from the others. The drawing, done in the early seventeenth century and representing the “Annunciation”, depicts, above the Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary, a heavenly “vehicle” with the shape of a double balloon which again can not be a cloud. The flying object ends with a narrow open tube, where red streaks appear to burst and absorbed behind by a red cloud.

On the walls of Tutana monastery (Argeş county), built in 1577, is depicted an “astronaut”, equipped for space flight. It is by no means an earthly character. Images such as those presented above are reported not only in Romania but also in other countries of the Orthodox faith, as in the Decani monastery in Kosovo and on a number of Russian religious icons.

But the paintings with UFOs are not restricted only to the Orthodox churches. One such painting exists also in a Protestant church, in the centre of Romania. Gili Schechter and Hannan Sabbath, from the Israeli Extraterrestrials and UFOs Research Association, commented in an article of a photo of a mural fresco in the Monastery Church, not far from the Clock Tower in the city of Sighişoara (Transylvania). The photo reproduced in the article was made by Cătălina Borta. Under the image is written in German, a passage from Psalm 130, 7: “Israel trust the Lord!” In the image is a large building, possibly a church, above which floats, slightly oblique, a large disc-shaped object, divided in to about 10 large sections. From the centre of the disc pointing down is a sort of spike. Above the bright object is a short column on which you see other objects that are hard to identify.

The authors could not find who did the painting, nor when. However the text can not date before Luther had translated and published, in 1534, the Bible in German. The authors also noted that the same disc hovering, diagonally divided into sectors and with the stick underneath, appears on a number of medals from the seventeenth century, probably chips used in gambling. It issued its opinion that these objects represent the cartwheel described in Ezekiel's vision.

A similar picture exists in Liber Prodigiorum, a book, written by Julius Obsequens, a fourth-century Roman historian. But the book, which describes the unusual heavenly appearances over Rome, was printed, with engravings added, only in 1552. The authors noted some differences between Sighişoara painting and the objects on the medals; for example, these have almost all a circle of stars on the circumference, while they are not on the object depicted in Sighişoara.

Are these paintings depictions of medieval UFO sightings or do they have a much more mundane and simpler explanation ? As an academic and a UFO researcher I must admit that the images on these paintings are certainly worth a second look and we should not rule out the possibility that they do depict something that today would be described as a UFO

62 Mile UFO Passes Behind Asteroid Lutetia As ESA Takes Photo, Oct 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Oct 14, 2016
Location of discovery: Asteroid Lutetia
Source ESA Photo:

http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2014/07/Farewell_Lutetia

The ESA prides itself on its original and untouched photos, but I can literally take any photo of theres and show how it has been photoshopped, or retouched. The ESA does this even more than NASA.

This photo I found was of asteroid Lutetia as the Rosetta mission lander flew past it on its way to the singing comet, 67P. As you can see, I added a lot of light to the photo in order to see the rest of the asteroid covered in shadows, but instead I found a rectangle UFO bigger than the asteroid itself fly behind the asteroid, just at the moment that Rosetta took its photo. I am 100% confident that the ESA saw this an covered it up with black in order to reveal a new photo this week. They didn't realize that some of us would uncover it so fast.

ESA states that asteroid Lutetia is 100km across (62 miles), and if the UFO is the same size, then its also 100km across. Makes you want to rethink what we think an alien star ship would be like, huh?

Since the UFO is as long across as Lutetia is,
Scott C. Waring

ESA states about photo:
Title Farewell Lutetia
Released 07/07/2014 10:20 am
Description

This ethereal image shows a stunning sliver of large main-belt asteroid Lutetia from the viewpoint of ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft, taken as Rosetta passed by on its 10-year voyage towards comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

This week marks four years since Rosetta flew by this ancient rocky body, on 10 July 2010. As the spacecraft swung past Lutetia it snapped hundreds of high-resolution photographs with its Optical, Spectroscopic and Infrared Remote Imaging System (OSIRIS) as well as obtaining valuable spectra, and maps of the surface temperature using other instruments.

This image was taken as Rosetta had passed its closest approach, at just under 3170 km from Lutetia’s surface, and was beginning its journey away from the asteroid.

As a result of this flyby, astronomers have been able to characterise Lutetia, viewing the wide range of craters and geological features scarring the asteroid’s surface and gauging its mass and volume–and thus density and composition. These measurements showed that Lutetia is primordial, likely having formed just under 4 billion years ago during the very early phases of the Solar System.

This asteroid is one of just two that Rosetta has closely flown past, the other being asteroid Steins in 2008.

Rosetta was launched in 2004 and, after 10 years in space, will finally rendezvous with its target comet in August. It will study the comet’s surface, dust and gases in unprecedented detail, deploy a lander onto its surface, and follow the comet for over a year as it orbits around the Sun.

Id 313648

Below are two close ups of the same area. The first has much more light, where you can notice that the objects are ball-like. These outer ball shells cannot be seen unless you add light to the photo. The last photo below this one, is the same, but less light so you cannot see the round shell of the UFOs.

UFO Over Neighbourhood In Geneva Excites Facebook Users, Oct 2016, Videos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: October 2016
Location of sighting: Geneva
News source:

https://www.rt.com/viral/362817-ufo-spotted-geneva-video/

In the two videos posted to Facebook, I notice that there are three lights in the sky which make it look like a TR3B (alien tech in USAF hands), which could be USAF or it could be actual aliens. I think its a real alien craft because I see there are a dozen tiny glowing white drones that leave the UFO and fly about just over the houses. One video (screenshots above) was taken looking through a wire fence so if you add light you will see the metal, but this doesn't effect the sighting or it being real. Although an alien ship can cloak itself, when it powers up its propulsion to shoot away, it will glow and be visible at night.
Scott C. Waring

News states:
People have been left confounded by the appearance of an inexplicable flying object in the skies above Geneva, leading some to speculate about extraterrestrial activity.

The UFO appeared on Wednesday evening in the Praille area near Geneva stadium. Footage of the unusual dark circular object was captured by numerous witnesses, with several people posting photos and videos on social media.

"Everyone sees the same thing as me ???" asked Servette FC footballer Matías Vitkieviez on Facebook. “It's completely crazy!!! UFO above the industrial area behind the stage of la praille #ufogva.”

One witness told Tribune de Genève that the UFO emitted a shrill noise and was "as big as a plane.”

"It was about 8:30 p.m., the phenomenon lasted about 20 seconds and the object departed at once, as if it was burning," the witness said.

Another witness, Sacha, also posted about the UFO on Facebook. "We can hardly see anything on the photo up but we clearly distinguish oval and flat with three lights then it quickly disappeared," he said.

20 Minutes reported Sacha describing that the sighting made a huge impression on him: “It changed my way of thinking. Let's say that before I believed 30 percent in UFOs, now I believe 70 percent."

The control tower at Geneva International Airport did not notice any unusual flying objects and no strange activity was detected over the area between 8 p.m. and midnight on FlightRadar24.com

So the question lingers: what was the UFO? One popular theory speculated it was drone equipped with LEDs.

But Fabio Chironi who owns an aerial photography company told the Tribune de Genève that the craft is too big to be a drone and it does not look like a drone, or at least any model known to him.

Alien Orbs Buzz Around Yellowstone Park Hot Springs, Oct 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: October 12, 2016
Location of sighting: Yellowstone Park, Wyoming

Here we have several glowing orbs moving about over Yellowstone and this is the same area as Old Faithful, which could of course attract alien tourists as well as humans. Why wouldn't aliens be interested in the Earths natural wonders? The movement is proof its not Venus or a hot air balloon. If you knew the truth about the abundance of alien ships, craft and species around us every day, it would blow your mind. The best way to hide from us, is to hide in plain sight.

Europe's Mars Lander Has Been Lost, @NASA May Be The Cause! Oct 2016, UFO Sighting News.

News source:

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-37707776

Now, I was going to write a post about 5 days ago when I heard about the ESA Mars lander getting close to Mars...but then I just shrugged it off. I shouldn't have because what I was going to say is that NASA destroyed the Phobos Russian Probe back in March 25, 1989 and NASA also destroyed the Russian Mars (Nov 2011) lander while it was still in Earth orbit...lost communication I might add...over America. Now there is no way NASA will permit any other country to get the first dibs on discovering life on Mars! No way, no how. How many other Mars exploration missions has NASA destroyed sent by other countries. This is a Crime Against Humanity, and should be heard by the United Nations.

Today however I read in the news from the BBC that the ESA (European Space Administration) has lost total communication with the Mars lander right before it was about to land on Mars. Oh...I wonder how that happened...cough...cough...sarcasm here.

NASA did it again, but this time they somehow sabotaged our European neighbors, our allies, our friends. But when it comes to which country will announce that they found life first and make it into the history books forever...NASA has a choke hold on the world.

PS... Its mission, to take a sample of Mars soil and return it to the Europe, while taking readings, photos and video.

This glowing orb was seen over Switzerland this week and it looks like a self contained energy orb. At first such UFOs appear as stars when far away, but as they come closer, its clear that they are UFOs. These types of UFOs often pick a single location and will sit there for 30 minutes or longer, before vanishing.

Location of sighting: Earths Orbit, at ISS

This UFO was spotted by UFO researcher Streetcap1 of Youtube. The video shows a long armed UFO in the distance. As proof that the UFO is there, as the sun light comes around, the UFO begins to light up, but not before NASA goes to blue screen. I feel that the public is trusting NASA less and less when it comes to revealing life on other planets. Their true goal seems to be to gather important intelligence, and drip feed the public enough to satisfy their curiosity.

U-boat Found In Loch Ness, Captain Claimed Giant Monster Attacked Them, Oct 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Oct 2016
Location of discovery: Loch Ness, Scotland
News source:

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-37691283

The Loch Ness has always intrigued me since reading a book about it as a child. I even watch the live cam every now and then. I have tied in several historical alien and UFO sightings in that area from over 60 years ago, but is this monster technologically built by aliens, or an actually ETI (Exterestrial Intelligence)? The Loch is deep so it could be hiding an alien base at its bottom. What they need in a robotic drone sub with infrared imaging to cut though all that murky water. Hopefully one day, will will catch this creature.
Scott C. Waring

News states:
The wreck of a German U-boat that sank almost 100 years ago has been discovered by engineers laying subsea power cables.
Remarkable sonar images show the missing World War One submarine is largely intact and lying off the Galloway coast.
Experts believe the vessel could be the UB-85, a sub that sank in 1918, according to official records.

However, naval folklore suggests it may have been attacked by a "sea monster".

Mysterious sinking
The entire crew of the U-boat is reported to have abandoned ship due to the "monster attack".

Once aboard the British ship HM Drifter Coreopsis, their commander, Captain Krech described their encounter.

He is said to have spoken of a beast with "large eyes, set in a horny sort of skull…with teeth that could be seen glistening in the moonlight".

He apparently claimed that the sub was so damaged in its battle with the "monster", it could no longer submerge.

However, Dr Innes McCartney, a historian and nautical archaeologist who helped identify the wreckage, does not believe the tale. (More at source.)

Scientists Just Launched a Breakthrough Initiative to Find Intelligent Alien Life

TimeOfTransition/youtube.com

IN BRIEF

The National Astronomical Observatories of China have partnered with Breakthrough Initiative to find alien life, bringing the largest radio telescope in the world with them — the 488 meter (1,600 foot) FAST telescope.
The FAST observatory will seek out extraterrestrial life with the world's other largest radio telescopes, including the Green Bank Telescope in the U.S. and the Parkes Observatory in Australia.

JOINING FORCES

Ever since the invention of the telescope, we have looked at the stars and wondered, “Are we alone?” Well, we wondered about it long before then, but it was only since the advent of the telescope that we could look to the skies with any hope of actually finding an answer. Individuals, groups, and governments have since devoted time and resources to finding signs of alien life.

Now, China is joining the extraterrestrial hunt in a major way. The National Astronomical Observatories of China (NAOC) has teamed up with Breakthrough Initiatives to bring the world’s largest radio telescope into the search.

Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and Russian businessman Yuri Milner started Breakthrough Initiatives for the sole purpose of finding extraterrestrial life. It has three programs: Starshot, which will send nanocraft space robots to Alpha Centauri; Message, which will design the best platform to communicate with aliens; and Listen, which will use the world’s radio telescopes to catch any signals from alien civilizations.

Thanks to the new collaboration with NAOC, Breakthrough Initiatives will get to use the Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) — a 488 meter (1,600 foot) long radio telescope that went online this September. To give you an idea: It’s longer than four American football fields.

The FAST telescope.

The Chinese team from FAST will share data, methods, and observation plans with our planet’s other gargantuan telescopes, including the Green Bank Telescope in the U.S. and the Parkes Observatory in Australia.

FINDING LIFE

This new collaboration underscores how mainstream the search for extraterrestrial life has become. You only have to consider how the thought of aliens was dismissed and laughed at only a generation ago.

Today, it’s not only thought there’s most likely life out there, but a great deal of resources are devoted to actively search for it. In fact, a current mission of astronomy is finding planets that may hold alien life.

“‘Are we alone?’ is a question that unites us as a planet,” Breakthrough Initiatives founder Yuri Milner said in a statement. “And the quest to answer it should take place at a planetary level too.”

The World’s Smallest Drone is Voice Controlled, And it Can Fit in Your Pocket

Amazon

IN BRIEF

Amazon has created the smallest drone ever – and it's targeted toward consumers, not for delivery.
Using RFID-search capabilities and facial recognition software, the drone can help locate lost persons or objects.

A MINI ALEXA THAT FLIES

Just this week, Amazon received a patent for the smallest drone ever. The miniaturized, unmanned, aerial vehicle (UAV) is designed to assist users in a number of ways — from recovery of lost persons and items, to providing assistance to policemen and firefighters. It’s Amazon’s first venture into a drone product for consumers – not just for delivery.

The drone’s features make it an all-around personal assistant, equipped with voice-control and Alexa (Amazon’s AI-equipped voice assistant). Accordingly, it can respond to voice commands such as “follow me” and “hover,” allowing for varied uses. Amazon also plans to make the drone quite small – small enough to fit in your pocket or to dock on a police officer’s radio.

Amazon

Using RFID-search capabilities and facial recognition software, the drone can help locate lost persons or even your elusive car keys. In terms of locating people, the patent states:

The UAV can receive a “find Timmy” command, which can include the “search” routine, and possibly an “identify Timmy” subroutine to locate a person identified as “Timmy.” In some examples, Timmy can have an RFID tag sewn into his clothes or a bar code printed on his shirt to facilitate identification.

AN UNMANNED FUTURE

Today’s advances in unmanned vehicle technology are unprecedented. We’re definitely up for a future of unmanned everything (or at least many things), from aerial drones to driverless cars,self-driving factory workers, and even submarines and boats.

Amazon has taken a major step in the right direction as the company moves beyond usingdrones for delivery. While many of the intended uses of this mini drone are still considered illegal in the United States, the FAA is supposedly updating their rules for commercial drone use within the next five years.

The future is bright for unmanned vehicle technology. Rather than fear such technological advancements, we should look to the added value they offer to the way we work and live.

ADMIRAL LORD HILL-NORTON

Chief of Defense Staff, Ministry of Defense, Great Britain,
1973; Chairman, Military Committee of NATO, 1974-77

“I have frequently been asked why a person of my background—a former Chief of the Defense Staff, a former Chairman of the NATO Military Committee—why I think there is a cover-up (of) the facts about UFOs. I believe governments fear that if they did disclose those facts, people would panic. I don’t believe that at all. There is a serious possibility that we are being visited by people from outer space. It behooves us to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. Foreword to Above Top Secret by Timothy Good, 1988

Cylinder over the Atlantic Ocean taken from Space

Many witnesses have reported huge cigar-shaped vehicles emerging from the oceanic hydrospaces of earth to take to the sky. In 1965, such an event was logged in the records of the Norwegian ship T.T. Jawesta on the 6th of July and in the log of an Argentinean ship, the Naviero off the coast of Brazil on July 20, 1967. The officers and crew could see a shining object in the sea no more than 50 feet away from the Starboard side. It was cigar-shaped and about 110 feet in length and emitted a powerful blue and white glow. It ran silently and without wake through the water. There was no periscope or conning tower or any protruding parts to this mysterious submarine. It paced the Naviero for 15 minutes, then suddenly dived and passed beneath the ship and vanished rapidly into the great depths.

Mellon

Joe Foster tells of his experience aboard Mellon Coast Guard ship in Southeast Asia. In May of 1970, our ship was anchored several miles off the southeast coast of Vietnam. Being anchored for several hours the Captain authorized swim call. Those in the crew not on watch could swim off the main deck. During the swimming I was on the watch on the bridge 44 feet above the water line. I observed a large, dark; teardrop shaped Unidentified Submerged Object (USO) that passed directly under the ship where the crew were swimming. Knowing the size of the ship we had a good idea about the size of the object. It was about 100 feet long and 30 feet wide. There were choppy wave conditions with 1-2 foot crests. Six of us on watch observed the underwater object for 10 -15 seconds including the shark guard. No one could guess what was sighted, but it was too large for any animal.

Our planet’s surface is nearly two-thirds covered by water and it would seem unusual in the extreme if the appearance of anomalous objects were not associated with it. Indeed they have been and eye-witness records spanning centuries have logged these encounters, in lakes, seas and oceans around the globe.

discssea

For example, according to Dutch newspapers in August 1954, whilst en-route from Amsterdam to New York, Captain Jan Bos, of the SS Groot Beer, reported observing a strange moon like object rising out of the Atlantic Ocean some 90 miles east of Cape Cod. Its keel shone with what appeared to be illuminated ports round the rim and the object’s speed was later described as having been fantastic.
What was it that two policemen saw emerging from the water off Porthcawl on the evening of September 1, 1957, which at first resembled a ship on fire? It was located in the Bristol Channel and began as a bright red glow which soon grew larger than a harvest moon. A black zigzag streak could be seen across its centre and as it rose up the fiery globe took off at an alarming rate accompanied by two smaller lights, heading for the Atlantic.

Bill Hamilton reports many witnesses have reported huge cigar-shaped vehicles emerging from the oceanic hydrospaces of earth to take to the sky. In 1965, such an event was logged in the records of the Norwegian ship T.T. Jawesta on the 6th of July and in the log of an Argentinean ship, the Naviero off the coast of Brazil on July 20, 1967.

It paced the Naviero for 15 minutes, then suddenly dived and passed beneath the ship and vanished rapidly into the great depths.

On 20 December 1992, three UFOs were tracked coming down and entering the sea off the east coast of Iceland. The following day, Icelandic fishermen off the north east coast were confronted by very large, very fast, “moving underwater craft” which displayed flashing colored lights. These USOs (Underwater Submarine Objects) appeared to be accompanied by a glowing airborne object travelling south towards the coast of Scotland. As the USOs moved through the water they came into contact with and damaged fishing nets. The fishermen claimed they were used to submarine activity in the area, but said these particular craft were definitely not submarines. They moved too fast through the water, had flashing lights, and were far larger than anything they had seen before. The fishermen were so frightened by the events they contacted Icelandic authorities who immediately dispatched Icelandic Coast Guard vessels to act as escorts.

On 23 December 1992, an Icelandic Coast Guard vessel and two gunboats were ordered to take up station off Langeness, an area where UFOs had been seen entering the water. The operation was conducted in great secrecy and I was told the crews felt very uneasy. Their role was to observe and report.

A short time later, three American warships took up station in the area and were eventually joined by a fleet of NATO warships, including some from Britain. A simple check with newspapers in the week leading up to Christmas of that year will reveal the gathering was described as a military exercise. Few bothered to appreciate that it was extremely strange and unusual for a massive NATO naval exercise to take place so close to Christmas.

Then, on 12 January 1993, smaller Icelandic vessels had to take shelter at Langeness Fjord because of appalling weather conditions which continued for approximately three weeks. The largest ships of the NATO fleet remained at sea. By the 6 February 1993, the weather had improved sufficiently for ships to put back to sea. Icelandic Coast Guard vessels and gunboats were ordered to take up their original positions on picket duty. All was quiet at sea for the next few days, until suddenly all ships in the area received a message from the American Flotilla, comprised of three Destroyers. The message instructed all ships to stand off and not to approach any closer than three nautical miles. All ships complied. While outside the ‘exclusion zone’ ships radars suddenly detected sixteen airborne objects which were then visibly seen to approach the American vessels and then hover directly above them. Crews on outlying boat saw the brightly lit amber colored objects remain stationary for a short time before they suddenly sped away in unison at great speed. The watching crews were bemused and knew the objects could not possibly have been helicopters, not least because of the poor weather conditions and the fact they were too far from land.

hunterkilleruksub

The crews of two British ‘Hunter Killer ‘submarines were recalled from Christmas leave on 24 December 1992,. HMS Endurance and HMS Warrior put to sea to link up with the NATO surface fleet.

At the same time, Icelandic Coast Guard vessels and gunboats were ordered to take up station at Alice Fjord off the east coast of Iceland. British newspapers then put out a story that surface ships had entered the area to track a very large underwater craft, likely a Russian submarine. Four UFOs had been seen to descend and enter the same area of sea. Icelandic sources also confirmed that the entire operation was linked to tracking “unknown underwater alien craft”. Around this time, a massive sea search was put into operation to locate a surface vessel which had reportedly gone missing.

The search continued in great secrecy for several days, but without success. The largest ships of the NATO fleet remained at sea. By the 6 February 1993, the weather had improved. All was quiet at sea for the next few days, until suddenly all ships in the area received a message from the American Flotilla, comprised of three Destroyers. The message instructed all ships to stand off and not to approach any closer than three nautical miles. All ships complied.

On 15 April 1993, all ships involved in the secret operation were ordered to search for yet another American warship which had gone missing. Only two American Destroyers were now visible to the outlying ships. The names of both the remaining American ships had been removed and the crews were seen wearing full battle dress.

Elements of the Russian Navy had now joined the operation and were working in unison with the NATO surface fleet at the mouth of the Barents Sea. On one occasion radio communication between the Russian ships were understood to say:

uso

“We are engaging unknown underwater craft.”

“What secrets lurk in ocean depths? Are there alien forms of intelligent life that occupy the vast volumes of water that constitute our oceans, seas, and lakes? The largest of our oceans, the Pacific, covers 64,000,000 square miles and reaches a depth of 36,198 feet, a depth that no ray of sunlight ever reaches. Could these depths hide alien submarine bases?”

Underwater UFOs have been sighted on many occasions lifting out of their submerged depths and taking to the air. In an article entitled “UFOs – at 450 Fathoms,” UFO Reporter Ed Hyde told of the sighting made by Dr. R. J. Villela, a Brazilian scientist, who saw a UFO smash through an estimated 40 feet of ice at the South Pole and soar into the sky at amazing speed.

It was author and researcher Dr. Ivan T. Sanderson who suggested that aliens could remain undetected by building their bases beneath the world’s oceans.

underwaterbase

Dr. Sanderson found that by actual count, over 50 percent of the UFO sightings had occurred over, coming from, or plunging into or coming out of water. This includes oceans, seas, lakes, and reservoirs. Of the oceanic UFOs (some term them USOs or Unidentified Submersible Objects), one was tracked by the U.S. Navy near Puerto Rico in 1963. Of course many of these objects have been tracked over Puerto Rico since that time. On a training maneuver, a sonar operator detected a sub aqueous object traveling at over 150 knots! The technicians tracked this object for four days and it maneuvered down to the incredible depth of 27,000 feet. Submarines of 1963 could not dive further than a fraction over a mile into the ocean deeps. What kind of submersible could withstand the tremendous ocean pressures? And how could it overcome the tremendous resistance of water moving at such incredible speeds?

Bill Hamilton writes for years witnesses have seen many types of UFOs cruising off the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California. UFOs have actually been seen to come out of the water in the San Pedro Channel. In the early seventies, my friend Jim was on the boat returning from Santa Catalina Island to San Pedro Harbor when he spotted a low, flying disk cruise silently over the channel boat. The craft was so close he could make out every detail of its structure including the four hemispherical pods on its underside.

usolaunch

Strange blue-green lights have been seen in the water since 1989. In 1989, and again in 1990, witnesses have seen as many as 20 events an hour. One large light appeared to be as much as 100 feet in diameter. This large light spawned babies no larger than 10 to 12 feet in length. These lights were seen to move swiftly under the ocean’s surface some 500 to 1,000 feet from the coastline in Abalone Cove. The hypothesis that these may be luminescent fish is discounted by a local marine biologist. These lights were too large and too swift to be fish. One of the lights was reported to have emerged from the water.

In 1992 a sea kayaker viewed an amazing sight off the Palos Verdes Peninsula. He was four or five miles off the Peninsula when a waterspout suddenly formed some hundreds of yards ahead of his kayak. As he observed this spout, the forward motion of the funnel stopped, the curtain of light mist surrounding the waterspout disappeared and a rotating column of what seemed to be solid ice appeared. As the sun reflected off the rotating mass of ice crystals, it appeared to be a sight of extraordinary beauty. The height of the ice column was estimated at 100 to 150 feet. When the ice column collapsed back into the ocean, it created a whirlpool. After this amazing event, the kayaker paddled over to examine floating fragments of ice and found specimens of fish embedded in the frozen pieces. Chapter 10 in “Alien Magic”

Propaganda

Remember six companies control the news and you see and hear only what they want you to see and hear. Why do ABC and NBC have the same news night after night usually reporting against the police? You will not be told about UFOs or our advanced technology. They will not tell you the truth about the election or the future. Make up your own mind about who will help your family and country the most.

Richard Dolan’s Thoughts on the “Breakaway

By now, the classified world has moved far beyond the reach of the public world, and far beyond in its power and capabilities. Consider the story of a former

nsa

National Security Agency (NSA) scientist

who spoke with the authors. According to this individual, the NSA was operating computers during the mid-1960s with a processing clock-speed of roughly 650 megahertz (MHZ). To put that in perspective, it took 35 years for personal computers in the consumer market to reach that speed. Indeed, in 1965 there were no personal computers at all. Immediately, the near-fatal Apollo 13 mission in 1971 comes to mind, with its reliance on slide-rulers by mission specialist to guide the damaged NASA spacecraft back to Earth. When presented with this image, the NSA scientist shrugged and stated that secret computational capabilities were too important to share with NASA. So in, in computing, the National Security Agency was an amazing 35 years ahead of the rest of the world. This leads one to wonder what its computational powers are today.

Another example was the U.S. air strike against Libya in 1986. The raid employed F-111 fighter aircraft. Left out of the mission, however, was the F-117A Nighthawk, better known as the stealth fighter. It had been operational since 1983, but was still classified in 1986. In a form of logic both perverse and rational, the F-117A was so radically advanced that keeping it secret was more important than using it for this military mission.

Given the mixture of a treasure chest of government money, and private connections, the likelihood exists that six decades later there is a clandestine group that possesses: technology that is vastly superior to that of the “mainstream” world. The ability to explore areas of our world and surroundings presently unavailable to the rest of us. Scientific and cosmological understandings that give them greater insights into the nature of our world.

A significant “built off the grid” infrastructure, partially underground, that affords them a high degree of secrecy and independence of action.

This might well qualify them as a separate civilization – one that has broken away from our own, in effect, a breakaway civilization. Still interacting with our own, its members probably move back and forth between the official reality of what we are supposed to believe, and the other reality which encompasses new truths and challenges.

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Light

azpheonix10oct16

Phoenix — I was watching the clouds at 6 pm become lighted by sunset on October 5, 2016, found the luminous colors worthy of taking pictures then after observing images on phone, clouds shown a light that looked faint with the eye but showed brighter in photo. I observed these lights while driving on the interstate 10 freeway heading west. As I was driving set camera toward the sky to capture the brilliant sunset colors and noticed the white lights break up, in a small straight line pattern. as the lights broke apart the central orb, became smaller, till they were all equal size, in two distinct patterns, one of two side by side and the other 3 inline…. as I was driving, I stopped to maintain my course on the freeway, after returning to a straight enough path I started photographing again, this time capturing a single light breaking into two… there after I saw nothing further. They may have flown off or just disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Object

casanfrran9october16

San Francisco — On 10 October 2016, my son received from a friend an 8-second video of the Blue Angels show on 9 October 2016. The video was shot from the Marina District, southeast of the Golden Gate Bridge, facing San Francisco Bay. Near the end of the video, my son noticed an object move very quickly through the frame from left to right at about the same altitude as the Blue Angels jet that was being filmed. The video was taken by an iPhone 6 and appears in only two frames. The “object” was approximately the same size as the jet and appeared to be saucer-like or a flattened oval with a relatively tall tail section. The “object” looked very much like Luke Skywalker’s land speeder, but with a taller tail section. The “object” doesn’t appear to be an insect and appears to be just below the jet. The speed of the object is extremely fast, such that it couldn’t be seen with the naked eye. Thanks to MUFON CMS Note it is likely a Blue Angel jet moving in the opposite direction

Colorado Triangles

colittleton

Littleton — We (husband and wife) were sitting on back deck talking, looking at stars and for satellites on October 7, 2016. I was looking at the sky and noticed an object that was out of place to should not have been there.
We are amateur sky watchers and look at the sky every night. Object was large and V-shaped with soft white lights that were out of line. The silent object moved in unison but fluttered. I called our son to come take a look bring your camera. When we exited the front door of our house the object was just passing overhead. Our son was unable to get a picture as the object disappeared. I went back into the back yard and spotted another object similar to the larger one but with four white lights per side and one in the center almost directly above the house moving south. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Lights

florlando8oct16

Orlando — I was about to leave to go to the store with my wife and boys at 8 pm when I came out of the apartment a very bright light caught my attention in the distance on October 8, 2016. It seemed to be allot brighter and lower than any other star so immediately I started taking video. I zoomed in as close as possible there were several children and teenagers outside and they all gathered and took out their phones to get video. One of the kids had a better phone that zoomed in closer and he caught a fleet of ufos blinking surrounding the bigger one. My phone captured video of the object was stationary for quite some time and seemed to descend slowly eventually behind the trees. These objects seem to be attracted to the big moving lights in the sky at the universal studios because they all were hovering parallel to the big universal lights. There were planes passing by and one past slightly under the object. We were all in agreement that these objects were not aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Georgia Square Object

gawarner-robbins8oct16

Warner Robbins – I was looking through my 8 inch reflector telescope waiting for Venus to show up to the west on October 8, 2916. I first saw Venus because it was the first light in the sky. I aligned my telescope on it behold it was a square object floating in the sky. I watched the object for several seconds just floating stationary with the smaller object going around it than the object exploded. It was more like what you see in actual war footage. I was able to follow one piece of the object as it fell toward the ground. It was leaving a trail of sparks and smoke as it fell. I was an aircraft structural mechanic in the US Air Force. I know what aircraft look like in the sky and this was no aircraft. I was able to see what looked like the same object on YouTube is shown. It was titled something like a pyramid UFO over a Chinese nuclear power plant. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana Orbs

North Salem — My dad was outside and called me out to see these lights that were going up and down into the tree line on October 10, 2016. These orange orbs of light would go into the sky and hover for a couple seconds and then they would either completely disappear or go back down into the trees. After a couple minutes they started making formations in the sky so I grabbed my phone and took a few videos and pictures. We saw about 15 orbs of light. There were no blinking lights on these orbs but they were very bright. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kansas Lights

ksorland6ovt16

Overland Park — On October 8, 2016, my neighbor spotted orange lights in the western sky, fairly close to the ground. She ran and got my husband and me. We also saw them. My neighbor saw 6 of these things that silently moved in a straight line to the northeast. I saw the last four, there was no wind at the time, but these things moved at a pretty good pace and one at a time. This happened in south, Kansas. Thanks to Becky Watson

Overland Park – On October 8 2016, I was in my backyard when the first one appeared. I couldn’t wrap my head around what I was looking at. The first orange orb seemed to rise above the trees and appear out of nowhere. I ran inside to get my phone and ran out the front door to see if it was still there. Another one appeared and I literally ran to my neighbor’s house at 10:30 PM, and rang their bell. I needed another witness. They ended up seeing 4 of the 6 that I saw. These objects were super bright orange orbs that were moving at the same pace and trajectory across the clear night sky. They were about 35 degrees off of the horizon moving from the southwest to the northeast. I have pictures and video to prove and there were three of us to witness. No, we hadn’t been drinking! You can hear how frantic I was in the video.

Additional Comment from Witness: These pictures are horrible when it comes to reflecting what I saw in real life! They were so big and so bright there is no way we were the only ones who saw them. I can’t imagine!

Note: Only 1 of orange orbs shows up in video and photo. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website

Maryland Lights

Eldersburg — Was driving home from work when I witnessed 4 balls of light not moving in the sky on October 6, 2016. They were very bright. It was brighter than a star and much bigger.

Note: It is likely the balls of light in the sky are reflections of lights on the street on the camera lens.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Diamond

Beverly — On Friday October 7^th, 2016, at 11:45 pm while taking out my dog I caught the glimpse of a bright red or reddish orange lighted object hovering at tree top level.

At first I thought it was a helicopter since we live along the coast and it’s not unusual to have Coast Guard helicopters in the area at night. When I realized the craft was not making noise and not moving from its location I moved my location to get a better viewing.

The object was at treetop level spinning or looked to be spinning with unusually bright red orange lights. Judging by the distance and by trees in the area I would state that the object was roughly 15 feet in height and about a third as wide.

Hoping to catch a photo I ran back to retrieve my phone but when I returned I couldn’t locate the object to take a photo or video.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nevada Discs

Las Vegas – I was taking a couple of pictures in the Mount Charleston area on October 10, 2016. When going over the days photos at home this is what we came across. Both photos are within 1 to 2 seconds of each other and nothing was visible to the naked eye when the photo was taken. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Cigar

Portland — My mom got video of a strange light occurrence in September 2016. In the video that she took of a small bird, a flash of rainbow lights around a stream of white light engulf the while screen (aimed at ground). It appeared to be glare from sun, but the white light in middle looked odd.
After a few seconds of this the video then shows for only three frames (this phone took video at 16fps) a strange rectangular or double cylindrical shaped object of light goes across the screen. I took stills of the object to be analyzed by anyone who can identify this for me. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Rocket

Crystal Caves — I decided to take pictures of the view on October 10, 2016. When I got home and looked at my pictures there it was hope you guys can explain what it is.
First picture shows something metallic like a rocket.

The second picture I took about 30 seconds or less and the object is no longer there. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Orb

Canada Object

canadamississauga-on-october-4-2016

Mississauga – On October 4, 2016, I observed the strange object from my window at work.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Columbia Clouds

columbiacloudufo

Video captured by a resident identified as Christian David Ramos Martínez, shows a glowing saucer-shaped cloud-like object hovering in the sky over the Colombian city. Published on Jul 5, 2016. Thanks to Frank Chille

Finland Orb

finland7oct16

Helsinki – I saw a flickering light which was flickering red, blue and white from my window on October 7, 2016. At first I thought it was a helicopter as it was just hovering in the air for about 10 seconds until it started moving left and crossing the chimney. It switched to a more brighter, rounder and stable looking bluish color. In the photo you can see a gray colored object inside a white/yellow colored aura which itself is inside a neon blue colored outline. I couldn’t see this object with my eyes. In the last photo that I took of this orb (IMG_3072) the orb appeared to change its light structure to a more cylinder/cigar shape. It continued its journey all the way to the trees that are on the right side of my window (can’t be seen from pictures) after which I couldn’t see it anymore due to the trees blocking my view. I did catch a brief glimpse of it through the trees continuing at the same path with the same exact height.

After I had seen this I didn’t have that much time to react to it as I pretty much immediately after this saw another similar looking orb coming from the left side of my window. This one seemed brighter than the last orb. This one also acted much more like an airplane than what the first one had. This one was also less bluish than the first one. I remember it looking like a light-yellow ball of light going across the sky. The object changed to a sphere/hexagonal shaped object surrounded by a yellow aura of light. Thanks to MUFON CMS

France Lights

Bully les mines — Here is my observation, that instantly I thought was a helicopter, but after a time lapse it was inaudible and stationary, I quickly got my phone to take pictures. I took the film on the moment. This is a past sighting taken on December 31, 2014, between 19:30 and 20:00 hours, I was out smoking a cigarette looking in the sky and I noticed two silent bright lights, almost like halogens.

It was stationary for less than 5 minutes, and moved away very slowly like moving through water. These two light sources were following equidistant between them as they flew away. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Germany Light

desourp12aug16

Sörup — I was sitting in my office and wrote some e-mails.
2.) All of a sudden my cats went nuts staring out of the window, and were meowing like crazy.
3.) I had no clue.
4.) I saw this white light, hovering over the houses; but it was – I think – quite far away. Then I grabbed my cell and took pictures. A few seconds later it turned from white to blue and then it just vanished.
Thanks to MUFON CMS

Iran Sphere

Ardebil — I was sitting in my car. I was watching the sky. I was sure it`s UFO luminous sphere with incredible speed. I was shock. It has gone with incredible speed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Zealand Killed a Star

Wellsford, Auckland North — Me (60), stepson (25), his buddy (30ish) were smoking on our deck looking at all the stars. We live in rural area about 2 kms from main road I brought out my 30mw green laser and pointed to some stars I recognized on October 10, 2015. I then gave the laser to the lads, and they shown it at some random stars. Then the stepson held it on one star near Taurus. He held it steady for three minutes. Suddenly there was a brief shower of yellow sparks like a skyrocket and the star shot off real fast disappearing west after about a hand’s span. It could just be coincide that a shooting star was what we were observing, but the actual star was gone too. We came up with the possibility that we knocked out a satellite. But we were only guessing. I was cold stone sober. The other two had been drinking. We talk about how we killed a star. But have no idea what it was. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Carol D writes, UFO was spotted in air traffic over New Zealand on October 10, 2016. This is most interesting, wish they could get documentation as to the label of the aerial phenomena. As it was flying so fast, this would be an excellent case to do an in depth study and then release it to the public. They are really onto something here. Thanks for sharing, Carol

Taupo – I out walking my dog and taking random photos of lake Taupo on February 15, 2016, I found this ufo when looking thru old photos, that I did not see it when taking the photos with my cell phone camera, Vodafone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Norway Lights

Oslo – I was looking up at the night sky on October 10, 2016, and watching a plane descending towards the airport. Suddenly behind and over I saw a star like lights flying across the sky for å short distance and time before it was gone. It was not a shooting star or a meteorite. The light was so crystal clear, and leaving a short silvery aura that disappeared fast. Clear, like the difference of a LED and fluorescent light! It was too fast to be a plane, was pulsating/expanding just a little bit. Short time after I saw another one. This one was headed in another direction at another speed. The direction was almost straight, kind of wobbling a little bit. Saw a total of 4 lights on around 35 minutes of different speed, directions. The third one I saw did a 90 degree turn to the west.
I love stargazing and have been watching the night sky for a long time and I have never seen anything like it. I have seen satellites, meteorites, shooting stars and this was like nothing else! There is no doubt in my mind about what I finally saw!
One of the lights came from the west super fast, then slowed down drastically(like a super fast car slowing down because of a red light) and then super fast again and “mugged” like that a couple of more times on its way across the night sky before it disappeared.

My conclusion is either secret governmental/non governmental spaceships/antigravity ships or E.T´s… But how could I know!? My mind is blown…! There is one thing believing… but knowing, is just a whole another level..!

Struisbaai — I’m a real estate photographer in South Africa, it was just after 12:47 PM, and I took pictures of the sea views from where I was. I didn’t see or hear anything on August 2, 2016. Only when I got back home to upload all the pictures did I find the anomaly. I took three rapid shots in about a second for each photo. Three different exposures then merge all three to render as one picture. The ufo only appeared on the first picture so in a split second it disappeared out of frame. This must have been super fast.

Suffolk — Driving in car on October 7, 2016, my partner took photos of the sunset and this figure appeared in the photos. I only noticed when uploaded the pictures.

As per pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Shrewsbury — On October 6, 2016, when I was on my horse coming back past Sleap Airfield near Wem Shrewsbury at about 6:10 pm on my way to Grinshill Shrewsbury where I live. We had stopped by the airfield to rest for a few minutes when we heard an aeroplane approaching, and when it went over us it climbed and this black triangle aircraft or drone came up alongside it and then in front of it. The little aeroplane tried to move out of the way but ended up doing a circle back towards and away from us and this think just stayed in front of it. Now I’ve seen all manner of helicopters, drone and jets fly in the local area due to RAF Shawbury being in the area, but this thing was weird. I managed to take a photo on my iPhone 5. The little aeroplane made a sound as normal but the black triangle thing seemed to make a high pitched humming sound. Both went around twice and then the triangle shot straight up into cloud and we couldn’t see it anymore. We did however ride past a police car that was parked up about half a mile from the airfield and both police officers were looking up at the sky? Thanks to MUFON CMS

With what was seen over the Wrekin Hill Telford Shropshire the other day I thought this may help etc. Definitely not a fighter jet or drone because the ones I have looked up online all have loud engines and don’t look like this black triangle thing?

Zeer vreemd object ontdekt voorbij Neptunus

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Astronomen hebben aan de rand van ons zonnestelsel een zeer mysterieus object ontdekt dat zich onverklaarbaar gedraagt.

Het gaat om een transneptunisch object, zo schrijven de onderzoekers in hun paper. Dat wil zeggen dat het object zich nog voorbij de baan van Neptunus bevindt. De ontdekking van een transneptunisch object is niet heel bijzonder: regelmatig ontdekken onderzoekers nog nieuwe objecten aan de rand van ons zonnestelsel. Maar dit object – dat de bijnaam ‘Niku’ heeft gekregen – is bijzonder.

Het begin
Om te begrijpen waarom, moeten we even teruggaan naar het begin. Het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel. Rond de zon bevond zich een stofschijf. Stofdeeltjes in die schijf klonterden samen en vormden planeten. Al die planeten bevonden zich in die stofschijf en draaiden dus in hetzelfde baanvlak om de zon heen. Dat betekent dat wanneer je ons zonnestelsel van opzij bekijkt, alle planeten netjes op een rijtje staan. Daarnaast draaien ze ook allemaal dezelfde kant op.

Afwijkend
Niku is om twee redenen bijzonder. Ten eerste beweegt dit transneptunische object zich niet in het baanvlak van de meeste andere objecten in ons zonnestelsel. Sterker nog: het baanvlak van Niku staat bijna haaks op het ‘gangbare’ baanvlak. Daarnaast is Niku ook nog eens retrograad. Dat betekent dat Niku in tegenovergestelde richting beweegt ten opzichte van de meeste andere objecten in ons zonnestelsel.

Hoe is dat te verklaren? Niku is waarschijnlijk door een ander hemellichaam uit koers gebracht. Maar welk hemellichaam is dat dan geweest? De onderzoekers hebben geen flauw idee. In hun paper sluiten ze een aantal mogelijkheden (waaronder planeet X of een nog onontdekte dwergplaneet) uit. “De rand van het zonnestelsel is zojuist weer een stukje vreemder geworden,” concludeert onderzoeker Michele Bannister.

Vliegende auto: koop jij er volgend jaar een

Tim Kraaijvanger

Nog een jaar en dan kunnen we een proefrit maken in een vliegende auto. Tenminste, als het aan het bedrijf AeroMobil ligt. CEO Juraj Vaculik beweert dat de eerste vliegende auto volgend jaar te koop is.

Het idee is niet helemaal nieuw. In 1990 ontwikkelde het bedrijf AeroMobil het allereerste prototype: 1.0. De jaren daarop kwamen er nieuwe versies uit. Het laatste decennium gaat het hard. In 2010 toonden de Slowaken de AeroMobil 2.5. Dit model werd in 2014 opgevolgd door het allernieuwste type: de 3.0. Hieronder zie je een promotievideo van deze vliegende auto.

AeroMobil beweert nog steeds dat 2017 een haalbaar jaar is voor de introductie van de eerste vliegende auto bij de autodealer. Deze vliegmachine biedt de voordelen van een normale auto, maar kan daarnaast opstijgen en landen op een willekeurig grasveld. Het grasveld moet overigens wel een paar honderd meter lang zijn, anders komt het niet goed. Op de weg heeft de AeroMobil 3.0 een bereik van 877 kilometer en een topsnelheid van 159 kilometer per uur. In de lucht is het bereik nog steeds een indrukwekkende 700 kilometer en vliegt het luchtvaartuig met een snelheid van 200 kilometer per uur. Het verschil in snelheid tussen vliegen en rijden is veertig kilometer per uur en dat lijkt niet veel, maar houdt er rekening mee dat de vliegende auto ook nog eens direct van punt A naar punt B vliegt. Tijdens een langere rit – of is het vlucht? – kom je misschien wel twee keer zo snel aan op de plaats van bestemming. Zeker als je op een slecht bereikbare plek moet zijn.

CONCURRENTIE

In 2010 is een Amerikaans bedrijf gestart met de productie van een vliegende auto, namelijk de Terrafugia Transition. Zeventig klanten bestelden zo’n 159.000 euro kostend voertuig. Daarna bleef het stil. Als het goed is, worden eind dit jaar de eerste exemplaren uitgedeeld.

Deze zomer was de AeroMobil 3.0 overigens te zien in Brussel. “Deze tweezitter is de eerste in een reeks van innovatieve voertuigen die wij gaan lanceren,” zei CEO Vaculik tijdens de beurs. “De technologieën en innovaties die in de AeroMobil 3.0 zitten kunnen in een breed scala van producten gebruikt worden, waardoor we snel over hopen te gaan tot massaproductie.”

De AeroMobil 3.0 moet daarnaast Slowakije op de kaart gaan zetten. “Het project trekt momenteel veel aandacht en verbindt ingenieurs binnen de Europese Unie”, zei de Miroslav Lajčák, de Slowaakse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken. “Er ontstaat wellicht een nieuwe Europese industrie.”

Mooi is ‘ie wel, deze vliegende auto.

ONGELUK

Vorig jaar stortte een AeroMobil neertijdens een testvlucht in Slowakije. Chauffeur/piloot Stefan Klein ontsnapte aan de dood en kon zijn parachute ontvouwen.

Twijfels
De grote vraag is of AeroMobil er in gaat slagen de verwachtingen waar te maken. Ten eerste is het huidige wegennetwerk niet geschikt voor de AeroMobil. in het meest gunstigste geval worden er landingsbanen langs de snelweg gelegd, waar mensen kunnen landen en invoegen of uitvoegen en opstijgen. Daarnaast krijg je als bezitter van deze vliegende auto te maken met wetgeving en regels. Veel regels zullen opnieuw opgesteld moeten worden als deze vliegende auto in het straatbeeld verschijnt. Mag je zomaar landen in een weiland of moet je eerst de eigenaar van een lap grond bellen? Tenslotte mag de auto niet gevlogen worden zonder een vliegbrevet. En zo’n brevet heeft niet iedereen in z’n portemonnee zitten. VlieglesDeal beweert dat je ongeveer tienduizend euro nodigt hebt om het brevet te halen.

De infrastructuur bepaalt het succes van de AeroMobil 3. Wanneer er veel landingsbanen worden aangelegd langs snelwegen, kan dit consumenten motiveren om over te stappen op de vliegende auto.

Alleen voor miljonairs
Kortom, de AeroMobil 3.0 zal niet direct op de oprit van je buurman staan. Het Slowaakse bedrijf richt zich in eerste instantie op rijken en op mensen die graag vliegen. Voor de laatste groep is het mogelijk goedkoper om een vliegende auto te kopen, dan om een eigen privejet aan te schaffen.

Denk jij dat de AeroMobil 3.0 volgend jaar echt te koop is? En lijkt het jou wat? Reageer onder dit nieuwsbericht!

Dr. Jacques Vallée “Passport to Magonia”

valee

Dr. Jacques Vallée in his excellent book, “Passport to Magonia” shows that legends can often be reduced to UFO sightings and abductions. I had the privilege of meeting Jacques Vallee’s after his lecture in Princeton University many years ago. His resume is an impressive one. Born in France, he was trained in astrophysics, and is a former principal investigator on computer networking projects for the Department of Defense. He first became interested in the UFO problem in 1961 while working on the staff of the French Space Committee, where he witnessed the destruction of tracking tapes of unknown objects. The following year, Vallee came to the United States and began working closely with Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the Air Force scientific consultant on the UFO problem. I had the privilege of visiting with Dr. Vallee in Princeton and feel he has valid arguments for alternate explanations for alien activity that implies different alien capabilities.

Dr. Vallee is widely recognized as the premier investigative scientist in the realm of UFO research today. In addition to authoring numerous articles and books, Vallee served as Steven Spielberg’s advisor during the making of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” and was the real-life model for the character portrayed by Francois Truffaut.

He stated, “We are dealing with a yet unrecognized level of consciousness, independent of man but closely linked to the earth…. I do not believe anymore that UFOs are simply the spacecraft of some race of extraterrestrial visitors. This notion is too simplistic to explain their appearance, the frequency of their manifestations through recorded history, and the structure of the information exchanged with them during contact.”
Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception.
In reading older books, Vallee had noticed a curious correspondence between stories that were hundreds of years old and those he was investigating in the late 1960s.

Flying fairy in balls of light

When the underlying archetypes are extracted from these rumors, the saucer myth is seen to coincide to a remarkable degree with the fairy-faith of Celtic countries, the observations of the scholars of past ages, and the widespread belief among all peoples concerning entities whose physical and psychological descriptions place them in the same category as the present-day Infonauts. In May 1955, Dr. Vallée sighted an UFO over his home in Pontoise, France. However, by 1969, Vallée concluded the extraterrestrial hypothesis was too narrow and ignored too much data. Dr. Vallée began exploring the commonalities between UFOs, religious movements, angels, fairy-folk, and multidimensional visitation. This hypothesis represents an extension of the extraterrestrial hypothesis ETH where the alleged extraterrestrials could be potentially from anywhere. The entities could be multidimensional beyond space-time, and thus could coexist with humans, yet remain undetected. He feels UFOs are real, represent a previously unrecognized phenomenon, and that the facts do not support the common concept of “space visitors.”

passpottomagonia

In Celtic regions, witnesses described seeing fairies who were accompanied by strange oval objects from the sky, and these beings were also known for abducting people– not unlike modern reports of alien abduction, he pointed out. A ninth century account from the Archbishop of Lyon, France dealt with three people who were said to emerge from a flying ship– villagers thought they came from a magical land called Magonia that was beyond the clouds. Vallee spoke of how UFO phenomena seems to straddle different layers of reality, and what witnesses actually observe may be modulated by their individual consciousness. People in Asia view the phenomenon as part of nature, and the alien beings hailing from a different plane, rather than another planet, he added.

Passport to Magonia, which changed our understanding of the UFO phenomenon by connecting documents and data from earlier centuries that related to incidents in the modern era. Among the numerous parallels between UFOs, folklore, and religious traditions were tales of fairies, elves, leprechauns, apparitions, and strange creatures. Vallee now seemed to be backing away from the extraterrestrial hypotheses and advancing the radical view that UFOs are paranormal in nature and a modern space age manifestation of a phenomenon which assumes different guises in different historical contexts.

Fairy Folk Art Journal;

An Encyclopedia of Fairies (Briggs, 1976) gives many examples of fairy abductions. The similarities between fairy abductions and UFO abductions is also interesting to note. People who claimed interactions with fairies generally reported marks on their bodies consistent with reports of alien abductions. Fairy abductions and UFO abductions also exhibit striking similarities to activities of incubi and succubi. Almost always a thick drink is given to the abductee. The victim is paralyzed and then levitated away. The fairies traveled in circular globes of light which is also commonly reported in UFO abductions. Another similarity to the UFO abduction scenario is the Bigfoot type creature which was called a “bogie” in fairy lore. Many so-called fairies and aliens look and act a lot like what have been described throughout history as demons. Many faerie-tales contain dream-like situations, where the laws of physics are suspended and the experienced reality is different than the usual five-sense reality. It’s no accident that the tales are often described as trippy. They can be seen as basically describing events from a participatory altered state of consciousness, that have then gestated and formed into oral faerie-tales, before being fossilized into literature by folklorists at various times in the 19th and 20th centuries. The point is that there is a tradition stretching back thousands of years of beings abducting humans and their offspring; these beings fly in globes of light, can paralyze their victims, induce amnesia about the event, force strange drinks on their victims, have sex with them and, in many cases, ultimately drive them to madness, physical ruin, or even take over their bodies for their own use. This possession can be permanent or semi-permanent. (Possession takes place after a long period of wearing down of the will through repeated forced encounters which generally include draining of energy through sexual contact.)

Psychological state that calls for outside intervention of some kind?

In this regard French ufologist Jean-Francois Boeded, in his book Fantastiques rencontres au bout du monde (1982) suggested that we should conceive of sightings as starting long before the actual experience. He points to many cases in which witnesses had premonitions that something was about to happen, or for some reason they went home by a different route, or took an unaccustomed walk. Somehow, it would seem, the witnesses were being prepared for the experience they were about to undergo.

flyingfairytaiil

This phenomenon is part and parcel of the alien abduction, vampire and possession syndromes. When possessing entities have been questioned during exorcism about how they selected a target for possession they often reply that the subject was chosen before he was born. In most cases, line of contact and the gradually building assault can be traced back to childhood. It could be said, in general, that the process of possession has already begun before either the target or those around him are aware of the signs.

In most cases there is a sensation of the presence before an actual encounter takes place. The scenario described is quite common in many abduction cases.

Jacques Vallee: says. “I’ve seen things that shouldn’t have been there when I was tracking satellites at the Paris observatory.

ufospace

I saw them visually as part of a team, and that’s really what started my research. Obviously, I had heard of UFOs before then, but I always thought that if there were UFOs astronomers would see them and would tell us, but my first job as an astronomer left me disillusioned. I was part of a team that was tracking satellites for the French Space Committee. We found ourselves tracking objects that were not satellites, and were not anything else recognizable either. One night we got eleven data points on one of these objects on a magnetic tape and wanted to run the tape through a computer and compute an orbit and see the thing again. To this day, I can’t tell you that it wasn’t some piece of technology that somebody had. It could have been some very bizarre piece of human technology, but what intrigued me was that the man in charge of the project confiscated the tape and erased it. That’s really what got me started, because I suddenly realized that astronomers saw things that they did not report.”

The important part of Confrontations is really in the last few chapters that deal with field investigations that Jeanine and I did in Brazil. We went to Brazil specifically to check stories of people being hurt by exposure to the light from UFOs. We spent about two weeks in the interior of the country going from village to village and talking to people. We just barely scratched the surface but in ten days we spoke with fifty people who had been hurt by those beams, some of whom had seen these objects just a week before we arrived.

Were they seeing the same kind of technological craft?

Jacques Vallee: Pretty much. There was a whole variety of objects, but the ones that emitted these beams were classic in terms of shape. They were boxy, rectangular objects that either didn’t make a noise or made nothing more than a hum, like the noise a refrigerator makes. They came over at night, and the beam was a light that not only burned them but pinned them down. When we asked people in Brazil about the phenomenon, we discovered that they didn’t see it as something that comes from another planet, but something that comes from another spiritual plane. That’s the way they put it, but they offered no further explanation than that. They seemed to be just as puzzled by it as a scientist would be. There was this one fellow who was blind and had developed psychic powers, and I tried to push him. I asked him what kind of spirits he thought he was encountering, but he was very straightforward and humble. He said he could invoke the gods of his tradition, but these things were something else. It was like, “yes, these things exist, but they are beyond my reach.”

In our culture, that explanation would be regarded as even more absurd than the activities of extraterrestrials.

Lady wounded by alien light.

Jacques Vallee: It is absurd, just like the explanations by our culture are absurd. But absurdity doesn’t mean meaningless. The absurd is a signal that has a property of taking you out of your normal thinking process and making you aware of other forms of thinking that you didn’t know existed. It’s forcing you to perceive reality at a different level. And what type of mental state is that creating in these villagers?

Jacques Vallee: Terror. The day after an encounter witnesses were very often extremely weak and could hardly walk. They would be taken to a doctor if there was a doctor close by. I spoke with some of the doctors, one of whom had treated thirty-five such cases in the mouth of the Amazon. What do you think of that? That’s such a concentrated activity in one area.

Jacques Vallee: I think the way that we get into trouble studying UFOs is that we mix up the different levels involved. We mix up the physical level, the psychological level, and the mythological or social level. I want to clearly identify these three levels because we need a different type of mythology to deal with each level and each set of events. At the physical level, all we know now is that there are material, physical objects, at least part of the time. They leave traces; they interact with the environment; they throw off heat and light and probably pulse microwaves in very interesting ways. They contain a great deal of energy. I’ve included some energy calculations in Confrontations.

I think we’ve made a lot of progress in the last few years in understanding the psychological and physiological level. There are some very clear patterns that range from sunburns to conjunctivitis. Sometimes temporary blindness occurs. Sometimes witnesses report a form of paralysis in which they have no control of their muscles during the time when the object is there. I think this has obvious medical implications that are very interesting. The witnesses are often disoriented. In Confrontations, I cite a case I investigated in which the people thought they were driving north when they were driving south. Such confusion in space and time too often contributes to scientists concluding that the witnesses aren’t reliable. We don’t know a lot about the effect of pulsed microwaves on the human brain. One effect might be hallucinations. You may end up having witnesses telling you incredible stories because they were subjected to very strange psychological side-effects of something that was really there. I don’t think that most of the UFO community is ready to deal with that. And I don’t think the scientific community is ready to deal with that. Then there is a third level, the mythological or sociological level. At that level, the physical reality of the actual UFO is totally irrelevant.
Jacques Vallee is one of ufology’s major figures – and also its most original thinker.

Vallee, who holds a master’s degree in astrophysics and a Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern University, was an early scientific proponent of the theory that UFOs are extraterrestrial spaceships. His first book, Anatomy of a Phenomenon (Henry Regnery, 1965), argued eloquently that,

“Through UFO activity … the contours of an amazingly complex intelligent life beyond the earth can already be discerned.”

discs2

In Challenge to Science – The UFO Enigma (Regnery, 1966) he and Janine Vallee (who is a psychologist by training, with a master’s degree from the University of Paris) urged the scientific community to consider the UFO evidence in this light.

But by 1969, when he published Passport to Magonia, Vallee’s assessment of the UFO phenomenon had undergone a significant shift. Much to the consternation of the “scientific ufologists” who had seen him as one of their champions, Vallee now seemed to be backing away from the extraterrestrial hypotheses and advancing the radical view that UFOs are paranormal in nature and a modern space age manifestation of a phenomenon which assumes different guises in different historical contexts.

“When the underlying archetypes are extracted,” he wrote, “the saucer myth is seen to coincide to a remarkable degree with the fairy-faith of Celtic countries … religious miracles… and the widespread belief among all peoples concerning entities whose physical and psychological descriptions place them in the same category as the present-day ufonauts.”

In The Invisible College (E.P. Dutton, 1975) Vallee posits the idea of a “control system.” UFOs and related phenomena are “the means through which man’s concepts are being rearranged.” Their ultimate source may be unknowable, at least at this stage of human development; what we do know, according to Vallee, is that they are presenting us with continually recurring “absurd” messages and appearances which defy rational analysis but which nonetheless address human beings on the level of myth and imagination.

“When I speak of a control system for planet earth,” he says,” I do not want my words to be misunderstood: I do not mean that some higher order of beings has locked us inside the constraints of a space-bound jail; closely monitored by psychic entities we might call angels or demons. I do not propose to redefine God. What I do mean is that mythology rules at a level of our social reality over which normal political and intellectual action has no power.”Website

Iraqi Minister of Transportation Claims Ancient ET Space Port

iraqiairport

The opening of a new airport in Iraq, the country’s Minister of Transportation claimed that ancient aliens once used the same location for their spaceships! Speaking to the press, Kazem Finjan may have inadvertently blown the lid off of UFO secrecy when he declared that the current airport sits on the site of history’s first airport from 5000 BC at Dhi Qar.

Finjan told reporters to read the work of Zecharia Sitchin or H. G. Wells if they did not believe him. The official went on to detail how the location of the airport was a preferred spot of the Annunaki because its weather conditions made it ideal for launches to other planets. Throughout Finjan’s speech, his colleagues appear to be nonplussed by his statements, but there are a handful of moments which suggest they were more amused than amazed by the revelations.

That sentiment seems to have been captured by Iraqis who saw the press conference as one journalist called Finjan an imbecile while an academic suggested that he was allowed to speak for so long because no one wanted to be the person who stopped him. One particularly cruel critic contended that the Transportation Minister is evidence that the Iraqi government is rife with “fools, hashish addicts and the most worthless of humanity.”

That harsh rebuke is certainly open to debate amongst Iraqis as is the veracity of Finjan’s claims, since they do not appear to come from any inside information pertaining to ETs in Iraq’s distant past and, instead, were informed primarily by the work Sitchin. Therefore, while the scene may look eerily similar to what one might expect from ‘official disclosure,’ the incident might be better characterized as simply a Sitchin fan detailing what he’d read in the legendary researcher’s books.

Of course, Finjan could someday get the last laugh if the Annunaki ever decide to return to Earth and opt to use their own airport in Iraq as a landing pad. Thanks to Coast to Coast Source: Express.

UFO Sightings in the United States

California Light

Huntington Beach — I had just got done surfing with my buddy, and saw this white light that looked like a shooting star do three huge massive circles and then just come to a complete stop over my the Edison power lines on October 3, 2016. I called my family out who were hesitant to believe me until they saw it take off real quick and come straight back. Then we saw a couple other unknown objects in the sky meet up with it and it was like it was a mother ship just spitting out a bunch of tiny red lighted objects. Then we saw another object that had gotten super bright and flared up for at least 18 seconds then went back to flashing colors and then vanished. The other mother ship kept vibrating pulsating and at times taking in objects. Towards the end it got farther away and then just stayed put for awhile you could still see it and blinking. I went inside to eat came out and it was gone. I have an eerie feeling that it might have to do with the recent earthquake activity in California. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado Triangle

cobroomfield30sep16

Broomfield – I was walking from my apartment complex to the gym on September 30. 2016, My apartment complex is elevated and dimly light resulting in low light and saw a triangle shaped aircraft. It was moving rather slow no more than 50 yards above me silently. It was hard to completely make out its shape but it looked as if it had two wings with three lights on each side with the third light of each wing joining at the peak of the triangle. There is a private airport a half mile away so I’m quite used to the sound of aircraft landing nearby. This aircraft was headed directly south while the private airport is located southeast. I have had multiple experiences with other-worldly entities but none of these encounters were like this one. The craft was not interacting with me until it faded from view. The craft looked EXACTLY like the image I have attached. Thanks to MUFON Cm

coeliot2oct16

Ellicott — Walked out in yard with dog in rural eastern Colorado on October 2, 2016, when I noticed a dark grey almost black Triangle object in sky between two layers of clouds. It stayed in same spot as the clouds were moving below and above it in different directions. The triangle stayed in the same exact spot for three minutes then slowly faded away. The object I saw looked kind of like the shape of a Star Wars Star Destroyer. I know it wasn’t a plane, but it looked designed, big time.
“Power lines were near and it was hovering 2,000-3,000 feet above some interstate transmission lines. If any cows are butchered out there, I sure want a Steak from it! All I know is clouds don’t make symmetrical straight edges on two sides. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Triangle

fltriangletampa-sept16

Tampa — I was out front with my telescope and my mom when I first saw the UFO on September 8, 2016. My mom was looking at Saturn. I was looking north and I was looking at a large UFO. I grabbed my mom off the telescope and pointed at the UFO. She instantly saw the UFO and started yelling in excitement. After both of us watched the craft for 20 seconds I banged on the window for my stepdad to come outside and he also saw the craft. We watched the UFO hover over our heads heading south until it faded off to nothing. There were a total of 13 lights that were lit up on the craft (6 on each side of a V shape and one at the point of the V). The craft was slowly spinning. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Orb

Saint Louis — Stepped out in backyard at dusk and looked to the east/northeast toward St Louis City less than 10 miles away when I first noticed unusually bright and larger than normal light just hovering on September 27, 2016. So I grabbed my strobe flashlight and laser pointer-as soon as I flashed the object it began putting on a color light show. I then I grabbed my iPhone to record video. During analysis of the video I noticed incredible colors and icons changing in split seconds. Towards end of video there is a smaller color changing craft approaching the larger original craft-then they took off to the north in an instant. This isn’t the first time I have witnessed these lights Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nevada Flying Object

I was flying back from Spokane to St. Louis after a weeklong National Trust for Historic Preservation National Conference. We stopped in Las Vegas to catch the next plane on November 2, 2012. After leaving Las Vegas we were in the air for a little while, then right past a huge lake, I don’t know the name of it but it’s not far from Las Vegas, I saw something. I was looking out the window when something shiny caught my eye. I already had my camera out because I was taking photos, so I snapped a photo as fast as I could. The object witch looked like a stereotypical UFO was side by side with the plane I was in but about 500 feet away; it then sharply dipped diagonally below the clouds. I did not say anything to the people with me because I did not want them to think I was nuts. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Barbell

Freehold — I exited the rear of the store, and noticed an unusual light approaching on May 28, 2016. It made no sound and I brazenly asked it on to come closer. It did and that’s when it hovered over the Raceways horse stables and that’s when I decided to try and catch it on my phone camera.
Later while showing a co-worker, it disappeared from the screen. It did that a couple of times even on his phone when I sent it to him. We both were dumbfounded thinking either aliens or government knew I had it and didn’t want it exposed. Since then I’ve been looked at as if I were dreaming it all up. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Note: Possible lens flare.

New Mexico Orb

Deming — I was driving from Las Cruces to Arizona, I noticed the object shining above the mountain as I topped out of the river bottom on September 28, 2016. I watched the object until I passed it and it was behind me. At first I thought it was a hot air balloon but it never seemed to move, either horizontally or vertically.I continued to watch the object, thinking it would move and lost sight of it when I got past the area where it was directly south of me, which would have been about 10 miles west of Deming, NM. I uploaded the photos in the same order that I took them in, over about a 15 minute period as I was driving. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Lights

Pittsburg — When I was walking on the street alone, suddenly a light caught my eyes, and I looked up on October 1, 2016. At first I thought it’s a helicopter, but soon I realized it’s not because it made little noise and something unusual. I tried to take photos, however, unfortunately I forgot to turn off the flash, and the object began to change direction and flew away. It looked like a modern warplane but much quieter. As I searched on Google how to report, the object went out of my sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Lights

New Braunfels — While camping with my good friend and his wife (who are old navy veterans), we saw and began to observe orange lights rising from the horizon. On October 2, 2016, coming over the western hills in a very odd fashion were reddish orange lights that were brighter than airplane lights. These were not distinct flashing lights like

aircraft, but appeared to be pulsating like a fireball or very bright engine thrust, It was ascending sporadically with maneuvers with bursts of movement before flashing a few times then diving down. This was followed by 3-4 more of the same ascending reddish lights; however none of the others appeared to dive or fall like the first. The lights stopped after 20 minutes or so. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Lights

vacharlottsvillenovembe13

Charlottesville — I took a photo last year in April and it reminds me of what my wife took a picture on October 3, 2016 coming into Virginia. Jacquelin Smith, in her experiences of what she witnessed over and around her house in November of 2013, calls anomalies like these, lights that squiggle. She defines squiggling as when a starship becomes like a long fluid tube of continuous light which can loop around itself and through itself. It can create various kinds of geometry and what appears to be a knot. It sure looks as though these lights are squiggling. Thanks to Dan Johnson.

Washington Lights

walomgbeach24sep16

Long Beach — A man was outside having a cigarette and saw two groups of orange orbs to the west over the Pacific Ocean on September 24, 2016. There were two orbs to the south and 6 or 7 to the west hovering… (The orbs looked like a constellation.) Then three of the orbs flew into a triangular formation. The witness then took a video. Then another orange orb approached at a rapid speed from the north. Skies were clear and there was little wind at the time of the sighting.

Note: The orbs are not Chinese lanterns. They do not flicker and also the movement in different directions would eliminate Chinese Lanterns as an explanation. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Disc

australia

Brisbane — My brother and I had gone out onto the balcony with a glass of wine on May 10, 2016. The sun had gone down but the sky was clear and cloudless except for a funny mist with blinking lights. At first we saw a series of compact lights shrouded by a misty cloud on an otherwise completely clear night. It looked like a cloaked UFO. It had lights above and below in a disc shape, like a hamburger bun. They were blinking in and out and so was the mist. Eventually after about 15 minutes it completely blinked out. It didn’t move from its initial position but video shows it was hovering in position. We immediately thought it was a cloaked UFO, or one that was trying to cloak itself but was malfunctioning. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Brazil Lights

brazilbaturite12aug16

Baturité — Just when I noticed a large explosion without sound, a light rand, which attracted me and so I started gravar.

Só could see that the triangular UFO began to expel a ball that came down toward the ground.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

brazilcropcircle

Prudentopolis — On September 27, 2016, the Brazilian UFO Magazine received an e-mail from Rodolfo Schier informing on the appearance of a possible crop circle in the city of Prudentopolis, 200km from Curitiba, capital city of the State of Parana. A video was also sent by a local resident, Mr. Tito Santini, showing this possible crop circle. Santini is the owner of the farm where this same phenomenon happened last year (October 6^th) and was also investigated by the UFO Magazine.

Initial analyses on video and photos received pointed to a strong possibility that the circle was authentic. A. J. Gevaerd Editor of Revista UFO (UFO Magazine) (Website)

Canada Orbs

North Bay — I was on my deck outside when I noticed an object moving very fast and making abrupt turns in different directions on September 25, 2016. I kept my eye on it for quite some time. It would turn fast then zoom up into the air very fast much faster than a passing plane. I took a video of the ufo but I did catch something. I just don’t know what it is. I’m interested to know what I saw since I’ve never seen anything like it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Germany Disc

Munich — I had just arrived for Oktoberfest and walked around taking photos with my phone on 29th September 2016.
The next day, I was checking my photos and I noticed one of them which I didn’t remember to have taken. I think it was taken when I was changing the normal camera of my phone to the frontal camera and caught this photo of something similar to a UFO Blimp. I didn’t see the object during the Oktoberfest, just the next day in the photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Peru Humanoid

Pachacamac, Lima — Witnesses at a gas station reported appearance of a humanoid on August 22, 2016, at 3:30 AM.

Fernando Távara, MUFON Peru, investigated this case, interviewed witnesses, obtained the original video and came to the conclusion that the object is a helium balloon of «Bugs Bunny» cartoon character. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Portugal Triangle

Oeiras, Lisbon – On October 5, 2016 at 9:30 pm, I happened to look at the sky and see a big and totally quiet craft heading south in a straight line with three very dim yellowish lights in a triangle formation. There was another light near the forward tip of the triangle slightly offset to the side in formation creating the appearance of a very big silent dark triangle moving through the starry sky completely silent at a speed of about 400 knots. This is a place where aircraft heading for Lisbon airport fly overhead making a lot of noise and blinking a lot of lights. I use Flight radar 24 sometimes to track them for curiosity and nothing was flying above at this time.

This seemed like a big dark triangle, moving in straight line in complete eerie silence with non blinking dim yellow lights. It was at least double or triple the size of a commercial aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Triangle

uknewcastle30sep16

Newcastle – I was on the beach taking photos of the sunset and a storm over the Irish Sea on September 29, 2016. I took several photos and when I returned home and looked at the photos I noticed the green light in the sky. It appeared to come through the clouds and descend downwards the sea. My photo’s show this in various stages, I felt shocked and of what the photos depict coming through a storm cloud and then down towards the beach. I was not aware of this whilst taking the photos initially. I am hoping you will give me an idea as to what it is. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Chinese astronauten stappen Tiangong-2 binnen

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Voor het eerst heeft het in september gelanceerde ruimtelaboratorium visite ontvangen: twee Chinese astronauten.

De Chinese astronauten – Jing Haipeng en Chen Dong – koppelden hun ruimtevaartuig – Shenzhou – aan het ruimtelaboratorium. Om vervolgens kort daarna hun ruimteschip te verlaten en zelf het ruimtelab binnen te gaan.

Dertig dagen
Het is de bedoeling dat de astronauten 30 dagen in het ruimtelab verblijven. Ze zullen in het lab verschillende wetenschappelijke experimenten doen en tevens controles uitvoeren in Tiangong-2.

Tiangong-2
Tiangong-2 werd vorige maand door de Chinezen in een baan rond de aarde geplaatst en is de opvolger van Tiangong-1. Tiangong-1 werd in 2011 gelanceerd en mocht eerder ook al Chinese astronauten verwelkomen. Deze astronauten verbleven echter maar 15 dagen in het ruimtelab.

China maakt er geen geheim van te dromen van een eigen ruimtestation. Maar daar komt natuurlijk heel wat bij kijken. De kennis en kunde die het bouwen van zo’n ruimtestation vereist, verkrijgt China door te ‘oefenen’ met de lancering van de Tiangong-modules. Naar verwachting zullen de Chinezen ergens in het volgende decennium klaar zijn voor het echte werk: de bouw van een ‘echt’ ruimtestation.

Staat deze voedselprinter over vijf jaar bij jou in de keuken?

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Maak maar alvast ruimte op je aanrecht: de voedselprinter komt eraan! Binnen vier tot vijf jaar kan dit exemplaar – of iets wat erop lijkt – al in je keuken staan!

Voedselprinters zijn er natuurlijk allang. Maar vaak zijn ze groot en log en allesbehalve gebruiksvriendelijk. Je moet er eigenlijk (letterlijk!) voor gestudeerd hebben om ze te kunnen gebruiken. Dat moet anders, zo bedacht Hod Lipson, professor aan de faculteit werktuigbouw aan Columbia University in New York en een pionier op het gebied van robotica, 3D-printen en voedselprinten. Hij ontwikkelde – samen met twee studenten – een voedselprinter voor ons allemaal.

Gemak
Eén van de twee studenten die samen met Lipson aan de voedselprinter knutselde, is Drim Stokhuijzen. Het ontwerp van de revolutionaire voedselprinter werd de afstudeeropdracht waarmee hij zijn studie industrieel ontwerpen aan de TU Delft afrondde. “Deze voedselprinter had een compleet andere start dan bestaande voedselprinters,” zo vertelt hij aan Scientias.nl. De huidige voedselprinters zijn eigenlijk niets anders dan gemodificeerde 3D-printers. “Maar voor deze voedselprinter begonnen we echt met niets.” Het doel? Een voedselprinter die net zo gemakkelijk in gebruik is als de welbekende koffiemachines met de minstens zo bekende cupjes die door George Clooney aan de man worden gebracht. “De voedselprinter moest eenvoudig zijn: plug and play.”

Vers van de pers: vismousseline met wortel.

Hoe werkt ‘ie?
En dat is gelukt. Want iedereen kan met deze voedselprinter – die ook nog eens heel klein is en dus met gemak op je aanrecht past – uit de voeten. Stokhuijzen legt uit: “Je hebt een soort capsules met daarin gepureerd en ingevroren voedsel waar geen additieven aan zijn toegevoegd. Het apparaat vertelt je in welke volgorde je deze capsules in het apparaat moet stoppen. Een robotarm kan deze capsules pakken en de inhoud op een bord plaatsen. Terwijl de robotarm daarmee bezig is, verhit een infraroodmodule de geprinte lagen.” Terwijl het voedsel geprint wordt, wordt het dus ook gekookt. In de toekomst kun je de capsules gewoon in de winkel kopen. Ook voorziet Stokhuijzen een soort ‘Spotify’ gevuld met gerechtjes waar je als trotse eigenaar van de voedselprinter uit putten kan.

De capsules die je in de 3D-printer moet stoppen.

Supplementen
Wellicht zie je jezelf op korte termijn al je pannen en deksels en maatbekers en ander keukengerei bij het grof vuil zetten. Maar wacht nog even! “Dit apparaat vervangt het koken niet,” benadrukt Stokhuijzen. De voedselprinter is niet bedoeld om drie of vier gangen te creëren, maar is een aanvulling op je eigen kookkunsten. “Stel, je hebt een drukke werkdag gehad en niet zo gezond gegeten, dan kun je een gezond gerechtje printen,” legt Stokhuijzen. Omdat je de volledige controle over de samenstelling van het gerechtje hebt, kan het je exact bieden wat je die dag tekort bent gekomen (zie ook het filmpje hieronder).

In de toekomst gaat dat nog een stap verder, voorspelt Stokhuijzen. “De voedselprinter wordt dan je persoonlijke diëtist.” Op basis van je persoonlijke gegevens – die nu reeds door smartphones worden verzameld – weet de printer precies wat je op dat moment nodig hebt.

QUICHES

In principe kan de voedselprinter van Lipson en studenten alles printen. “Vlees, vis, noem het maar op,” vertelt Stokhuijzen. “Maar in beginsel zullen we voor toegankelijke gerechtjes kiezen, bijvoorbeeld quiches.” Want de grote massa zal de voedselprinter sneller omarmen als deze smakelijk uitziende gerechten print en vlees ziet er geprint nu eenmaal niet echt lekker uit.

Heerlijk
Natuurlijk heeft Stokhuijzen de proef op de som genomen en het geprinte voedsel geproefd. Hij blijft enthousiast. “Het is net als met een gewone printer, waarbij de kwaliteit van de inkt de kwaliteit van de print bepaalt. Als je goede ingrediënten gebruikt, is het geprinte voedsel heerlijk.”

Gezond
Waarschijnlijk had Stokhuijzen een paar jaar geleden niet gedacht dat hij vandaag zo enthousiast zou zijn over geprint voedsel. “Ik was bij aanvang heel sceptisch,” erkent hij. “Ik vroeg me af of we 3D-geprint voedsel wel nodig hadden. Ik was net druk bezig met gezond eten en dat lijkt haaks te staan op het reageerbuis- en robotachtige geprinte voedsel.” Maar opeens realiseerde Stokhuijzen zich dat gezond eten dankzij de voedselprinter veel gemakkelijker kan worden. “Als je nu door de supermarkt loopt, dan wil je voedsel dat kostenefficiënt, oftewel niet te duur is. Maar het moet ook voedzaam en gezond zijn. En het moet gemakkelijk te bereiden zijn. En lekker. Het is eigenlijk onmogelijk om aan al die vereisten tegelijkertijd te voldoen: als je iets makkelijks wilt, is het vaak ongezond. En als je iets heel gezonds wilt, is het vaak duurder. En dus maak je in de supermarkt eigenlijk altijd een verkeerde keuze.” De voedselprinter maakt daar een einde aan, omdat deze voedsel kan creëren dat aan alle genoemde eisen voldoet. “Deze voedselprinter kan gezond eten democratiseren.”

Acceptatie
Maar hoelang moeten we daar nog op wachten? “Deze voedselprinter is een proof of concept en wordt op dit moment in het laboratorium doorontwikkeld. We verwachten dat deze over vier tot vijf jaar in de keuken te vinden is.” Of dat werkelijk haalbaar is, hangt met name af van ons, de consument. “Op dit moment is de markt nog vrij sceptisch,” stelt Stokhuijzen. “De acceptatie van de voedselprinter is denk ik de grootste uitdaging. Misschien komt die vanuit de mensen zelf. Of eerst vanuit atleten, waarna de consument aansluit.”

De voedselprinter heeft voorlopig de naam ‘Sanna’ gekregen.

Software
Maar acceptatie door de massa is niet de enige hobbel die genomen moet worden. Er komt nog veel meer bij kijken. Zo is er bijvoorbeeld dringend behoefte aan software voor het ontwerpen van voedsel. Al jarenlang wordt voor het ontwerpen van constructies en apparaten een beroep gedaan op CAD-systemen. Maar deze systemen schieten tekort als er met voedsel wordt gewerkt. Daar is speciale software voor nodig die bijvoorbeeld kan voorspellen hoe een 3D-geprinte vorm eruit ziet als deze een x aantal minuten is gekookt bij een temperatuur van x graden Celsius.

Er is dus nog werk aan de winkel. Maar de voedselprinter lijkt een onstuitbare technologie te zijn. “We verwachten dat deze voedselprinter rond de 100 dollar gaat kosten,” vertelt Stokhuijzen. De capsules zullen qua prijs absoluut de concurrentie aankunnen met kant-en-klaarmaaltijden, maar wel iets duurder zijn dan de maaltijden die je helemaal zelf bereidt. Stokhuijzen kan in ieder geval niet wachten. “Als de voedselprinter op de markt komt, krijgt deze zeker een plekje in mijn keuken. Het is zo makkelijk op drukke dagen. Net als gisteren: ik had gesurfd en ’s avonds zin in eten. Maar dan ben ik te lui om iets te koken en neem ik toch maar een pizza. Of ik kook snel pasta. Maar dan kijk ik achteraf op de verpakking en blijkt er weer heel veel zout in te zitten. Met de voedselprinter kan ik een gemakkelijk en gezonde keuze maken én heb ik de controle over wat er in mijn eten zit.”

Eindelijk weten we waarom het 's nachts donker is13 oktober 2016

Tim Kraaijvanger

Waarom is het ’s nachts donker? Het heelal telt ontelbaar veel sterren, dus dan zou het toch altijd licht moeten zijn? Niet dus en dankzij Hubble begrijpen we nu beter waarom dit zo is.

Midden jaren negentig werd een ruwe schatting gedaan van het aantal sterrenstelsels in het zichtbare universum: ongeveer honderd miljard sterrenstelsels. Onderzoeker Christopher Conselice en zijn collega’s beweren dat er twintig keer zoveel sterrenstelsels zijn, oftewel twee biljoen stuks. Een twee met twaalf nullen.

Conselice en zijn teamleden gebruikten foto’s van de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop en gegevens van eerdere onderzoeken om nauwkeurige 3D-modellen te maken van de verdeling van sterrenstelsels in het heelal. Conselice beweert dat er veel meer sterrenstelsels zijn dan we met hedendaagse telescopen kunnen zien. 90% van alle sterrenstelsels is te zwak en is te ver verwijderd om te spotten. Tenminste, met de huidige generatie telescopen. Op dit moment worden enkele supertelescopen gebouwd, waarmee we nog meer sterren kunnen ontdekken. Een belangrijke rol is weggelegd voor de James Webb-telescoop, die Hubble gaat vervangen.

“STEL, JE STAAT BIJ EEN BOS EN KIJKT TUSSEN TWEE BOMEN, DAN ZIE JE EEN ANDERE BOOM DIE IETS VERDER WEG STAAT. ZO ZOU HET OOK MET STERREN MOETEN ZIJN.”

Het is een bijzondere ontdekking dat er twintig keer zoveel sterrenstelsels zijn. Maar hoe verklaart dit het feit dat de nachthemel zwart is en dus niet wit? Het is immers logischer wanneer er overal licht zou zijn. In de Melkweg zwerven miljarden sterren om ons heen, maar in het hele universum gaat het om vele biljarden sterren. Met zo’n extreem groot aantal sterren verwacht je een permanent verlichte hemel.Toch?

Met ontelbaar veel sterren om ons heen zou het altijd ‘dag’ moeten zijn. Toch is dat niet zo.

Natuurlijk is het licht van verre sterren zwakker dan het licht van de zon, maar daar staat tegenover dat er op grotere afstand ook meer sterren staan. Een mooie vergelijking is een bos met bomen. Sta je voor dit bos, dan zie je waarschijnlijk tot aan de horizon bomen. Stel, je kijkt tussen twee bomen, dan zie je een andere boom die iets verder weg staat. Zo zou het ook met sterren moeten zijn.

Paradox van Olbers
Wetenschappers hebben dit probleem een naam gegeven:de paradox van Olbers. Problemen zijn er echter om opgelost te worden. Onderzoeker Christopher Conselice beweert dat er meerdere factoren zijn waarom het ’s nachts donker is. Ten eerste komt het door de roodverschuiving van licht. Het komt erop neer dat de afstand tussen een ster (de lichtbron) en ons netvlies (de ontvanger) in vrijwel alle gevallen toeneemt (het heelal dijt immers uit), waardoor de golflengte van licht tijdens de reis langer wordt. Dit heeft als gevolg dat het licht zo ver wordt uitgerekt, dat we verre sterrenstelsels op een bepaald moment niet meer kunnen zien met onze ogen. Dit wordt nader uitgelegd op pagina 15 van het paper.

Stof
Maar er zijn nog andere factoren. Zo wordt een deel van het sterrenlicht geabsorbeerd door stof in een sterrenstelsel, maar ook door stof tussen sterrenstelsels (het zogenoemd intergalactisch medium). Dit is opvallend, want lange tijd werd deze verklaring voor een donkere nacht als niet logisch verklaard. Sommige wetenschappers beweerden in het verleden dat licht het stof verwarmt, waardoor het uit zichzelf gaat gloeien. Volgens het paper van Conselice klopt dit wel, alleen gloeit het stof in het nabij-infrarode golflengtegebied. Dit is infrarode straling en dus elektromagnetisch straling die voor het menselijk oog niet waarneembaar is.

Stof houdt licht tegen, zoals hierboven. Dit is de beroemde Paardenkopnevel: één van de kroonjuwelen in het sterrenbeeld Orion. Helaas is deze donkere nevel niet zo makkelijk te observeren als zijn buurman, de Orionnevel.

Niet oneindig oud
De laatste factor is het feit dat het heelal nog niet oneindig oud is. Het universum mag namelijk 13,8 miljard kaarsjes uitblazen op de verjaardagstaart. Licht reist snel, maar niet oneindig snel. Ons heelal is pas 13,8 miljard jaar oud, dus dit is de maximale tijd dat licht naar ons onderweg kan zijn geweest. Sterren die extreem ver van ons af staan, kunnen we dus nog niet zien, omdat het licht ons nog niet bereikt heeft.

The Universe is Far Bigger Than We Thought, and It Has 10x More Galaxies

NASA/ESA

IN BRIEF

It turns out the observable universe has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid 1990s Hubble Deep Field images count of about 100 to 200 billion.
The development of more advanced space telescopes in the future could unveil even more of the observable universe.

L'univers compte 10 fois plus de galaxies que ce que l'on pensait

Selon les dernières données du téléscope spatial Hubble, l'univers compte environ 2000 milliards de galaxies, révèle une étude de la Nasa, jeudi.

Image de l'univers prise par le téléscope Hubble de la Nasa, jeudi 13 octobre 2016.

(AP/SIPA /NASA)

L'univers compte environ 2 000 milliards de galaxies, c'est-à-dire "dix fois plus" que ne le pensaient les scientifiques jusqu'alors, estime une équipe internationale d'astronomes, dans une étude (en anglais) publiée jeudi 13 octobre.

Ces dernières années, les astronomes pensaient que l'univers contenait entre 100 milliards et 200 milliards de galaxies.

Les télescopes actuels étudient 10 % des galaxies

L'équipe du professeur Christopher Conselice, de l'Université de Nottingham (Royaume-Uni), a travaillé à partir des données du télescope spatial Hubbledéveloppé par la Nasa avec l'Agence spatiale européenne, mais aussi d'autres télescopes.

Elle a ensuite construit des images en 3D et extrapolé le nombre de galaxies présentes à différentes époques de l'histoire de l'univers. Plus les galaxies sont distantes, plus leur lumière peine à nous parvenir. Les télescopes actuels ne permettent d'étudier que 10 % des galaxies.

"C'est sidérant que penser que 90% des galaxies du cosmos doivent encore être étudiées", déclare Christopher Conselice. "Qui sait ce que nous allons découvrir quand nous serons en mesure d'étudier ces galaxies grâce à la nouvelle génération de télescopes?"

Un résultat temporaire

L'équipe d'astronomes a utilisé des méthodes de type statistique et s'est servi de ce que l'on connaît de l'univers proche, pour deviner ce qui se passe plus loin. "L'étude est très intéressante même si on peut avoir quelques réserves sur le nombre précis de galaxies", a déclaré François Hammer, astronome de l'Observatoire de Paris et spécialiste de la formation des galaxies.

"Le professeur Conselice a fait ce qu'on peut faire de mieux à notre époque. Mais son résultat ne peut pas être considéré comme le dernier mot", a dit l'astrophysicien. "C'est un travail qui ne pourra être confirmé que lorsque nous aurons des télescopes géants qui nous permettrons de voir beaucoup mieux dans ces régions lointaines."

On a Long Trip to Mars, Cosmic Radiation May Damage Astronauts' Brains

By Christopher Wanjek, Live Science Contributor

President Obama on Tuesday reaffirmed his vision to send humans to Mars. In an editorial posted on CNN.com, the President wrote of his desire of "sending humans to Mars by the 2030s and returning them safely to Earth, with the ultimate ambition to one day remain there for an extended time."

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden echoed the President's enthusiasm, describing in a companion blog post co-written with John Holdren, a senior advisor to the President, how NASA plans to to "utilize public-private partnerships to enable humans to live and work in space in a sustainable way."

Key to the ambitious endeavor, however, is ensuring the astronauts' safety, which may be difficult, according to a NASA-funded study coincidentallypublished Monday (Oct. 10) in the journal Scientific Reports.

The new study, in rodents, shows that astronauts could suffer from a phenomenon called "space brain" during the long trip to Mars, as cosmic radiation bombards their bodies and damages their brain cells.

Researchers exposed the laboratory-bound rodents to a level of radiation similar to that expected on a six-month one-way trip to Mars. They found that the radiation caused significant long-term brain damage, including cognitive impairments and dementia, a result of brain inflammation and damage to the rodents' neurons. [10 Things You Didn't Know About the Brain]

The researchers said the new study revealed a far greater extent of brain damage than what was hinted at in their shorter, six-week study, conducted last year.

"This is not positive news for astronauts deployed on a two- to three-year round-trip to Mars," said Charles Limoli, a professor of radiation oncology at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, who led the study.

NASA told Live Science that the agency is funding such studies to better understand the risks posed to its astronauts, although the agency was not aware that Limoli's study was published and could not comment on the details.

Radiation hazards

Astronauts in space face two kinds of radiation hazards. One is the solar radiation from the sun, including ultraviolet rays, X-rays, protons and electrons. The other is cosmic radiation, which emanates from all directions in deep space and comprises atomic particles far more energetic (and thus more damaging) than solar radiation.

Limoli's research was aimed at assessing the possiblehuman health problems that could be caused by cosmic radiation on a prolonged space journey. There are almost no studies so far that have looked at this, Limoli said. Humans have lived on the International Space Station (ISS) for months at a time. Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov (born Valeri Ivanovich Korshunov but later changed his name) holds the record for the longest, continuous time in orbit — almost 438 days aboard the Mir space station.

However, because Mir (which is no longer in use) and the ISS are relatively close to Earth, Earth's magnetosphere — a natural magnetic field that deflects charged atomic particles from the sun and deeper space — mostly protects astronauts on board the orbiting labs from dangerous radiation exposure. Tests have shown that Polyakov and other astronauts have no serious brain damage as a result of their time in orbit. [5 Mars Myths and Misconceptions]

Astronauts who visited the moon ventured beyond this protective magnetosphere, but their entire round-trip lasted only about two weeks, so their radiation exposure was kept to a minimum. One previous study, done in 2013 in mice, suggested that radiation may hasten the development of Alzheimer's.

To simulate the cosmic radiation exposure humans would face during a long Mars trip, Limoli's group exposed rodents to charged particles at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York.

The researchers found that although the bombardment of the radiation was painless, it caused significant brain damage in the rodents. Imaging revealed that the animals' brain cells had a sharp reduction in features of the cells called the dendrites and spines, which would disrupt the transmission ofsignals among neurons, they said.

Limoli told Live Science that loss of dendrites and spines were "like a tree losing its leaves and branches," compromising the health of the tree. These physical losses explained the deficiencies the rodents showed in behavioral tasks designed to test learning and memory, Limoli said. In humans, this loss could lead astronauts to make poor decisions that could affect the safety of the crew, he added.

The researchers also discovered that the radiation affected the part of the brain that normally suppresses prior unpleasant and stressful associations, as part of a process called "fear extinction." This loss of fear extinction could make the astronauts prone to anxiety, Limoli said. [Infographic: How Radiation Affects the Human Body]

Yet Limoli remains optimistic that NASA can still send astronauts safely to Mars. "This is not a deal breaker," he told Live Science. "This [cosmic radiation] is simply something we have to deal with."

A 30-month trip

NASA estimates that a 30-month trip to Mars — six months of travel each way, plus 18 months living on the Red Planet — would expose astronauts to a total of 1 sievert (Sv) of radiation. For comparison, Limoli said people who undergo certain kinds of radiation treatment for brain cancer may need to endure a dose at least 10 times higher than that through the course of that treatment. He said that these cancer patients, although they may be cured of cancer, have notable declines in their cognitive function.

Astronauts could be protected from cosmic radiation in two ways, a NASA press officer told Live Science. One would be to a passive method of installing thick metal shields or layers with water, either around the entire spacecraft or around sleeping chambers to block the radiation. Cosmic radiation is very penetrating, however, and shields that would be thick enough to block the rays would add considerable weight (and thus, expense) to the Mars mission.

Another way is an active method of installing an electromagnetic field to deflect the radiation, analogous to the magnetosphere itself. Limoli said his group and others are working on another strategy, medicines that could repair the damage caused by radiation, or protect or even restore neurons.

It will certainly be a memorable trip to Mars, and NASA hopes the astronauts will stay healthy enough to remember it.

INTRO: Housing Humans in Deep Space

To bring astronauts to Mars by the 2030s, NASA has selected six private companies to design and develop deep space habitats under the second Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP) Broad Agency Announcement.

NextSTEP-2 focuses on developing deep space habitation concepts through partnerships between the public and private sectors. Here are the new prototypes they created.

1. Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin is working to revamp the design of a logistics module from the space shuttle resupply missions and create a full-scale habitat prototype. The company has also dreamed up a wilde plan for an orbital outpost around Mars, known as Mars Base Camp.

The design includes an environmental control and life support system (ECLSS) and an avionics system for navigation, communication and management of all flight functionality. Last year, Lockheed Martin unveiled their design for a new spaceflight system called "Jupiter" that could fly astronauts to the space station, the moon and beyond.

2. Orbital ATK

A Virginia-based private spaceflight company, Orbital ATK, is working on a design based on the Cygnus spacecraft, which currently flies automated and unmanned cargo supply missions to the International Space Station.

Orbital ATK's cislunar habitat concept will test interfaces between the new Cygnus-based spacecraft, the Orion crew module and other space modules. Its goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of long-term operations in deep space.

3. Sierra Nevada Corporation

Sierra Nevada Corporation's idea for a deep space habitat involves 3 to 4 rocket launches for a long-duration habitat that will be constructed in space. Their prototype is based on the company's Dream Chaser cargo module.

The design includes a large inflatable fabric environment module, an environmental control and life support system (ECLSS), and a propulsion system.

4. Nanoracks

A Texas-based company named NanoRacks is teaming up with Space Systems Loral and the United Launch Alliance to find out whether an existing launch vehicle's upper stage can be converted into a pressurized, habitable environment for space exploration. This low-cost approach to sending humans into deep space could be achieved with any type of rocket.

5. Bigelow Aerospace

Bigelow Airspace, a company based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, is developing a prototype of an expandable habitat called XBASE (Expandable Bigelow Advanced Station Enhancement). The 330-cubic meter (432 cubic yards) habitat will attach to the International Space Station and serve as a testing platform for the technology necessary to safely send humans into deep space.

Bigelow tested a similar expandable space habitat on the ISS in April. Read our full story here: 'BEAM' Aboard: Experimental Inflatable Room Attached to Space Station.

Boeing, a U.S. aerospace giant based in Houston, Texas, is also developing a modular habitat system. The company plans to be able to operate the International Space Station for at least 15 years after the giant space laboratory's mission is scheduled to end in 2024.

The modular habitat system aims to demonstrate that humans can safely live and work in space for extended periods of time.

Asgardia, Proposed Space-Based Nation Accepting Citizenship Applications

By Rob Coppinger, Space.com Contributor

PARIS ─ A proposed space nation called Asgardia is now accepting applications for future citizens.

Leaders of the Asgardia project discussed the prospective space nation at a news conference in Paris Wednesday (Oct. 12). The leaders aim to launch Asgardia's first satellite in 2017 and say they would like to eventually have aspace station where some, but not all, of its planned 150 million (mostly Earth-dwelling) nationals would live and work.

Asgardia, named after the Norse gods' home of Asgard, will be a democracy with an emphasis on the freedom of the individual to develop space technologies, according to Igor Ashurbeyli, Asgardia project team leader and founder. People can now apply to be selected as one of the first 100,000 citizens through the nation’s website, asgardia.space. At the time of publication, the number of applicants has reached more than 84,000, according to the website. While Asgardia is not officially a nation (yet), prospective citizens must fulfil the legal requirements for Asgardia's United Nations application — for example, they must be from nations that allow multiple citizenships. [Incredible Technology: How to Build a Space Station Colony]

Asgardia would be a nation in space, in low-Earth orbit, or beyond, the project leaders said. The Asgardia project team said they think they need at least tens of thousands of citizens before they formally apply to the U.N. for recognition (although there are 14 countries in the world with fewer than 100,000 citizens).

But, not all Asgardians need to live in space, just as citizens of an Earth-bound nation may live outside that country's borders. And Asgardians could claim to be citizens of the new state for the time being, even if Asgardia is not formally recognized by the U.N., Ashurbeiyli told Space.com, through an interpreter following the Oct. 12 news conference. The team said they also want to crowdsource Asgardia's flag design and insignia.

The prospective nation is being established to "serve humanity" and for "peace in space," according to Ashurbeyli. A scientist by training, Ashurbeyli founded what is now a holding company, Socium Holding, which, according to the Asgardia website, has "more than 10,000 employees across 30 companies worldwide." According to his own website, the companies under Scoium Holding are "operating in many diverse sectors within the fields of science, technology and the social sphere."

"If you look at a nation’s population, statistically, 2 percent of the population are creative and productive and progressive, so we hope that looking at the population of Earth, 7.5 billion, we are hoping that 150 million would be those creative progressive people [who become Asgardians]," Ashurbeyli told Space.com.

He said that during citizenship selection, preference will be given to those applicants who develop and invest in space technologies. Ashurbeyli described Asgardia as a state not distracted by things like infrastructure, such as roads and hospitals. He called Asgardia "… a mirror reflection of Earth in space, but without the borders, boundaries, religious constraints and without the state lines; a digital mirror reflection without all those drawbacks. We prefer dialogue with people and companies, not states…[Asgardia] facilitates and inside that envelope they can create.”

Ram Jakhu, the director of McGill University’s Institute of Air and Space Law in Montreal, is the Asgardia project team legal expert. Jakhu told Space.com via Skype on Oct.12 that with the selected citizens, a government and an inhabited spacecraft to call territory, Asgardia would eventually fulfill three of the four elements the U.N. needs to consider a nation as a state. The fourth is recognition by U.N. member states.

During the same Skype call, Jakhu told Space.com that "if [Asgardia] does good things," then he doesn't think gaining recognition by existing U.N. member states will be a problem.

"The [Asgardia] vision is very, very clear: This nation will do things to help protect the Earth and, secondly, it will be for exclusively peaceful purposes and also allowing access to developing countries that don't have that [space access]. So, if that is done, recognition will not be a major problem. If these four elements [territory, people, government and recognition] are achieved it become a state and can apply for its membership of the United Nations."

No fees are required for the citizenship applications and new citizens will not be expected to contribute to the cost of the first satellite, to be called Asgardia, which the program team plans to launch in late 2017. Ashurbeyli would not provide any details about the satellite or what its function will be, but said it was "100 percent funded."

Ashurbeyli said Asgardia's first satellite would be launched from one of the spacefaring nations, but the launching state (the country that will pay for the launch) would be a country with an emerging economy that is not a signatory to the Outer Space Treaty. The project team views partnering with a developing country as a way to get countries involved that have not previously had access to space.

The Outer Space Treaty (OST) is an international agreement made during the Cold War in 1967, and assumes all activity in space will be led by a nation-state. Ashurbeiylj said he views the OST as restrictive, with its state actors-led approach. Ashurbeyli wants private individuals and companies to be able to act in space without direct government involvement. The OST also says that no nation-state can own territory in outer space and signatories are obliged to follow this. Partnering with a non-signatory nation would avoid such legal complications with regard to exploiting space resources, he said. Non-OST signatory African countries ─ Ethiopia and Kenya, in particular ─ are seen as potential candidates for the satellite's launching state.

The Asgardia project team also has plans for satellites that would protect the Earth from asteroids and space debris. Asgardia project team member, Joseph Pelton, who is the director emeritus of the Space & Advanced Communications Research Institute at George Washington University, told Space.com after the news conference that the defense of the Earth would require different spacecraft.

For asteroid defense, Pelton envisages a flotilla of spacecraft that would be launched to meet the huge space rock years before it reached Earth and would fire lasers at the object’s surface. The laser fire would vaporize parts of the surface and the resulting jets of vapor would create enough force to slowly push the asteroid in another direction, avoiding Earth. Pelton expects Asgardia to work with Earth-based nation states to fund such a defense system.

For a defense against coronal mass ejections (powerful bursts of charged particles from the sun that can damage satellites or power grids), Pelton told Space.com: "I am working with Jim Green who is head of planetary sciences at NASA and we think it might be possible to deploy a system at L1, a million and a half kilometers [930,000 miles] out, that would have one to two Tesla magnetic fields that would be like an artificial Van Allen belt." Tesla is the unit of measurement for the strength of a magnetic field (not only the name of a car company), and the L1 orbit lies between the Earth and the moon. The Van Allen belts are a collection of charged particles, gathered in place by Earth’s magnetic field, which deflect harmful particles from the sun.

Pelton went on to describe a Bigelow Aerospace inflatable space stationpositioned at L1, that uses solar power to create the magnetic force field to mitigate the impact of the coronal mass ejections. For these defense projects and other space technology developments, Ashurbeyli said he foresees crowdfunding as one potential source of investment capital.

Largest-Ever Destroyer Just Joined US Navy, and It Could Fire Railguns

IN BRIEF

The U.S. Navy has officially commissioned the USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000), the largest and most high-tech destroyer ever that packs a massive 78 MW of power.
The USS Zumwalt is a glimpse of the technology and sophistication we can expect to see in future warships.

The U.S. Navy’s largest destroyer ever built, the USS Zumwalt, carried out trial operations last year — and now the high-tech warship has officially entered the fleet. The ship is the most advanced in its class, and the name of its captain, James A. Kirk, makes the futuristic cruiser sound like something out of “Star Trek.”

“Today’s ceremony marked the culmination of over three years of dedication and hard work by some of the finest sailors I have had the pleasure to lead,” said Kirk, according to the U.S. Navy.

It took almost five years and over $3.5 billion to build the USS Zumwalt. The destroyer sports an all-electric propulsion system, a stealthy “tumblehome” design, a vertical missile launcher, and an advanced computerized system.

And it packs 78 MW of power — nearly as much electricity as a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier — thanks to two 45.4-MW Rolls-Royce MT30 gas turbines driving Curtiss-Wright electric generators and two 3.8-MW Rolls-Royce RR4500 turbine generators.

That’s enough energy to run the ship and power a small town at the same time, according to the U.S. Navy. This massive front of electricity could also fire the Navy’s next-gen beam weapons and railguns. We could one day see Zumwalt-class warships equipped with kinetically-charged railguns capable of launching projectiles as far as 201 km (125 miles) at Mach 6 speeds.

The destroyer’s large size can also support its missile launcher and aircraft simultaneously.

“The Zumwalt-class is much larger than today’s destroyers with a considerably larger flight deck – enough space to operate host Joint Strike Fighters, MV-22 Ospreys, and unmanned systems and a Vertical Launch System second to none,” said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, according to the U.S. Navy.

The USS Zumwalt will make its way to San Diego, where it will install its combat systems and receive final testing before engaging in fleet operations.

The Universe Has 10 Times More Galaxies Than Scientists Thought

By Hanneke Weitering, Staff Writer-Producer

More than a trillion galaxies are lurking in the depths of space, a new census of galaxies in the observable universe has found — 10 times more galaxies than were previously thought to exist.

An international team of astronomers used deep-space images and other data from the Hubble Space Telescope to create a 3D map of the known universe, which contains about 100 to 200 billion galaxies. In particular, they relied on Hubble's Deep Field images, which revealed the most distant galaxies ever seen with a telescope. [Video: Our Universe Has Trillions of Galaxies, Hubble Study]

Then, the researchers incorporated new mathematical models to calculate where other galaxies that have not yet been imaged by a telescope might exist. For the numbers to add up, the universe needs at least 10 times more galaxies than those already known to exist. But these unknown galaxies are likely either too faint or too far away to be seen with today's telescopes.

The image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and covers a portion of the southern field of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). This is a large galaxy census, a deep-sky study by several observatories to trace the formation and evolution of galaxies.
**Credit: NASA, ESA/Hubble**

"It boggles the mind that over 90 percent of the galaxies in the universe have yet to be studied," Christopher Conselice, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Nottingham in the U.K., who led the study, said in a statement. "Who knows what interesting properties we will find when we observe these galaxies with the next generation of telescopes.”

Looking far out into deep space also means looking back in time, because light takes a long time to travel across cosmic distances. During the study, Conselice and his team looked at parts of the universe up to 13 billion light-years away. Looking this far allowed the researchers to see partial snapshots of the evolution of the universe since 13 billion years ago, or less than 100 million years after the Big Bang.

They discovered that the early universe contained even more galaxies than it does today. Those distant galaxies were small and faint dwarf galaxies, they found. As the universe evolves, such galaxies merge together to form larger galaxies.

In a separate statement, Conselice said that the results are "very surprising as we know that, over the 13.7 billion years of cosmic evolution since the Big Bang, galaxies have been growing through star formation and mergers with other galaxies. Finding more galaxies in the past implies that significant evolution must have occurred to reduce their number through extensive merging of systems."

The results of the study are detailed in The Astrophysical Journal.

Ancient Meteorite Impact Rained Debris On US East Coast

By Calla Cofield, Space.com Staff Writer

A meteorite may have hit the surface of the Earth about 56 million years ago, raining debris for hundreds of miles across the Atlantic Ocean and what is now the East Coast of the U.S.

Evidence of the impact appeared in the form of tiny, roughly spherical bits of glass that were found buried in ancient layers of Earth in New Jersey and off the coast of Florida. A falling meteorite can hit the Earth with an incredible amount of energy, and vaporize or melt the surrounding water, rock and soil. The superheating can form new physical structures, like glass.

The pellets were found in four separate locations, some of them separated by more than to 1,000 kilometers (621 miles), but they appear to be from the same impact event, according a new study announcing the discovery, published in the Oct. 13 issue of the journal Science. It is not yet known how big the meteorite was, or where it hit the Earth, the authors of the study said.

A single impact

Morgan Schaller, an assistant professor of earth and environmental sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, was looking for biological fossils from a period in Earth's history known as the Paleocene-Eocene boundary (or the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum), which took place about 55 million years ago. While searching for small, white shells, he happened to spot one of the black glass spheroids, also known as microtektites or microkrystites, according to a statement from Rensselaer.

"It was an accident," Schaller, who co-authored the new study, told Space.com.

**A microkrystite (heated material that has solidified into a crystal), formed about 56 million years ago and buried underground in New Jersey.**

That original core sample came from a site in New Jersey. Schaller and his colleagues looked at two other core samples — another in New Jersey, and a second sample taken from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, more than 620 miles (1,000 km) away. A fourth sample was later taken from another site in New Jersey to confirm that the other samples had not been contaminated or potentially altered by underground drilling; the microtektites were found there as well, according to the paper. [When Space Attacks: The 6 Craziest Meteor Impacts]

During the Paleocene-Eocene boundary, Earth experienced a period of intense global warming. While some evidence has suggested that volcanic activity may have been responsible for the global heating, the new paper explains that the newly discovered microtektites could not have been formed by volcanic activity. For one, the microtektites contain high-temperature glass. A terrestrial volcano cannot produce temperatures and conditions required to produce high-temperature glass, Schaller told Space.com, but meteorite impacts can.

In addition, the scientists found "shocked quartz" in the microtektites. Quartz has a very organized molecular structure, and a "shocked" grain shows signs of intense physical pressure that has altered what is normally an orderly molecular arrangement. Those quartz grains were not liquefied by the impact, the researchers said, but were mixed with the liquid material and can be found essentially petrified in the microtektites. Shocked quartz does not form from volcanic activity, Schaller said.

Those characteristics indicate that there was a meteorite strike, but they also show that all of the microtektites found in the four different sites formed from the same event, Schaller said. All four locations contain microtektites with high-temperature glass and with shocked quartz, and they also have the same chemistry, he said, suggesting that the material they formed from originated in the same place.

"Wherever the projectile hits, the material it hits has a unique chemistry to begin with," Schaller said. That material could be a dense rock found in the Appalachian Mountains or carbonate platforms at the bottom of the ocean. "All that stuff's going to be [vaporized or melted] and flung up in [the] air, and have very little time to mix with one another. So you're going to find a range of chemistries [in the microtektites] that are all kind of consistent with different mixes of the material that was hit."

The impact crater

Even though the microtektites share chemistries, that doesn't necessarily reveal where they originated. Schaller said the best way to find the impact site will likely be by looking for microtektites from this same impact in more locations. In theory, the microtektites would be more abundant and larger the closer they are to the impact site.

"Right now, all we can say is that it's either small and close by, or big and far away," Schaller said. But he added that this approach doesn't always reveal an impact site — ejecta, or material flung from volcanoes, have been found "all over the globe" from what's known as the Australasian Impact, but scientists have not been able to find the impact crater.

To find more microtektites from the newly discovered impact, the team will have to study layers of Earth from areas that were underwater when the impact took place, Schaller said, because the microtektites are quickly destroyed when they're on the surface of the Earth and exposed to weather.

"I think I'd compare their preservation potential to a scoop of ice cream," he said. "But they do get preserved in ocean sediment."

(The three New Jersey sites where the team took samples would have been under water 56 million years ago).

The association of the impact with the onset of the Paleocene-Eocene boundary is "nothing short of remarkable," Schaller said in a statement from Rensselaer. He told Space.com that because the microtektites can be radiometrically dated, they offer a new milestone in the Earth's history that could help scientists date layers of Earth in the future. The goal of studying this particular period in Earth's history, he said, is to understand what happens to the planet when global temperatures rise.

Reverse Saturn: Bizarre Planet's Giant Rings Spin the Wrong Way

By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor

A strange and colossal ring system around an alien planet is apparently stuck in reverse, circling opposite to the planet's own orbit around its parent star. While the arrangement appears unstable, new calculations show the rings could remain for at least 100,000 years.

These rings could account for bizarre eclipse behavior seen in 2007 for this star, called J1407, researchers on the new study suggested. Back then, astronomers observed an eclipse of the star last for several weeks, varying rapidly in brightness over the course of minutes. In 2015, the team suggestedthat there could be a planet orbiting this star with rings over a hundred times larger than the rings of Saturn.

In the new simulations conducted this year, the team calculated whether the planet could hang on to its ring system even as the gravitational effect of the star pulls on the rings. Because of the planet's highly elliptical orbit, the star's tug could potentially destabilize the rings when the planet approached closer, the researchers said. [The Strangest Alien Planets We Know (Gallery)]

According to the simulations, the system can stay stable for more than 10,000 orbits lasting 11 years each, with one stipulation, said lead author Steven Rieder, a postdoctoral fellow at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science in Japan.

"The system is only stable when the rings rotate opposite to how the planet orbits the star," Rieder said in a statement. "It might be far-fetched, massive rings that rotate in opposite direction," he added, "but we now have calculated that a 'normal' ring system cannot survive." More usually, a planet's rings circle in the same direction as the planet is traveling, and the planet orbits in the same direction as the star turns.

It's also possible that the stellar eclipses were created by a free-floating object passing between Earth and the star, but this would be true only if that object's velocity as measured in the observations was not correct, Rieder said. He added that this would be a strange explanation, as the measurements the team obtained are "very accurate."

The researchers said they next plan to examine how the ring structure was created, and how it evolves. A paper based on the research will appear shortly in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Sending Humans to Mars: 8 Steps to Red Planet Colonization

By Tia Ghose, Senior Writer

After the red dust settles from President Barack Obama's reiteration of his ambitious goal to have humans reach Mars in the next two to three decades, the next question becomes: What will it take to get there?

"We have set a clear goal vital to the next chapter of America's story in space: sending humans to Mars by the 2030s and returning them safely to Earth, with the ultimate ambition to one day remain there for an extended time," Obama wrote in an op-ed on CNN.com yesterday (Oct. 11).

NASA has laid out detailed plans for the journey to Mars. It's feasible to get there by the 2030s — if that deadline is stretched out to the last year of the decade, said John Logsdon, a professor emeritus of political science and international affairs at the Space Policy Institute at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. [5 Mars Myths and Misconceptions]

Other experts say Obama's stated timeline is not bold enough.

"We are far closer today to sending humans to Mars than we were to sending men to the moon in 1961, and we were there eight years later," said Robert Zubrin, president of nonprofit organization The Mars Society and the author of "The Case for Mars: The Plan to Settle the Red Planet," (Free Press, 2011). The next president should announce an ambitious goal to get to Mars by the end of the second term, or by 2024, Zubrin said. Otherwise, the momentum for the mission could be lost, and space exploration could be delayed further, he added. [SpaceX to Mars: Awe-Inspiring Video Shows Vision for Red Planet Exploration]

Either way, before astronauts start packing their spacesuits and intergalactic playlists, scientists have to sort out a few problems.

Step 1: Build American technology to get astronauts to space

Currently, the United States relies on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft to get astronauts to the International Space Station. That is set to change, as private spaceflight companies have taken on the challenge of building a system to launch humans and cargo spaceward: Elon Musk's SpaceX is working on the Dragon robotic launch vehicles, while Boeing is building its CST-100, Logsdon said. Musk has also said that SpaceX's robotic launch vehicle could head off to Mars as soon as 2018. (A launch vehicle is a rocket-powered vehicle designed to send spacecraft or satellites into space.)

Step 2: Build bigger spacecraft

A Mars voyage requires a spacecraft that can carry multiple people, along with all the supplies for a three-year round-trip, including potential cargo items, said Bret Drake, an engineering specialist with Los Angeles-based Aerospace Corp., a nonprofit organization that researches launch vehicles, satellite systems, ground control systems and space technology for the federal government.

"To sustain a crew all the way to Mars means being able to launch rather heavy payloads, because you have to have the fuel and supplies for the round-trip," added Logsdon. "And there's no 7-Eleven on Mars where you can stock up to come home," he told Live Science.

One alternative is to create a giant spacecraft; another is to develop multiple smaller modules that can be launched separately into orbit and then assembled in space, Logsdon said. (Some of these modules could hold people while others could hold supplies, for instance).

Either way, the basic technology is there, Zubrin said. "It has to be larger than any we've built before," he said. Even so, "there isn't new science here."

Currently, Lockheed Martin is developing a four-person spacecraft called the Orion, which will sit atop the heavy-lift launch system, called the Space Launch System (SLS), that NASA is developing to take people into deep space. Orion already completed one successful test flight on Dec. 5, 2014, and is set to take a trip around the moon in 2018.

Step 3: Build bigger rockets

Launching a bigger spacecraft into deep space requires bigger rockets on any launch vehicles used. NASA plans to conduct a second test of what will be the world's largest rocket, which will be part of the SLS, sometime in 2021, according to NASA. SpaceX is also developing the Falcon Heavy rocket, which is designed to launch heavier payloads, including people, into space.

Step 4: Stick the landing

After people enter Mars' orbit, they need to land on the Red Planet. With past missions, friction, thermal effects and parachutes could provide the deceleration needed to land. But a parachute won't have enough stopping power for such heavy crafts.

However, scientists are making progress on that front.

For instance, SpaceX has shown that high-speed crafts can decelerate using supersonic retropropulsion, which involves firing engines while landing, Drake said. "We now have a feasible technical solution for how to get large vehicles to the surface of Mars," Drake said.

Step 5: Figure out long-term habitation on a space station

Astronauts have logged many weeks and months on the International Space Station (ISS), demonstrating the feasibility of long-term habitation systems, such as those that provide safe water, process waste, and filter air in space. Similar systems could be used for a stay on Mars, experts say.

The difference, however, is that the ISS is in low Earth orbit, just a few hours' trip to the home planet. If anything breaks, Earth can still come to the rescue. That won't be possible on Mars, which is at least a six- to nine-month journey, even when the planets are at their closest point to each other.

"One key advancement for the life-support system is increasing the reliability of the systems," Drake said. "For Mars missions, there are no quick-abort modes back to Earth, nor ground-up resupply if systems fail. So the life-support systems need to be reliable, and maintainable by the crew, for long periods of time — many years," Drake said.

Step 6: Avoid deadly cosmic radiation

Astronauts going on a Mars mission will need protection from two forms of radiation: solar proton events (or solar flares) and galactic cosmic radiation.

The first "can be mitigated by proper vehicle design, along with a dedicated storm shelter, such as a water wall made from the life-support system water supply," Drake said. (This would involve literally lining the walls with the water used for drinking and showering.)

Shielding people from galactic cosmic radiation is trickier. In free space, cosmic radiation levels are extremely high. However, the Mars ScienceLaboratory, which landed on the Martian surface aboard the rover Curiosity, has measured cosmic radiation levels and showed that radiation exposure at the surface of the red planet is similar to levels seen aboard the ISS, Drake said. Because the ISS is located in low Earth orbit, it is below the two doughnut-shaped radiation belts called Earth's Van Allen belts, which block from Earth many of the charged particles spewed from the sun, as well as from cosmic rays, Logsdon said.

One strategy may be to make the trip through free space very quickly, minimizing the exposure to the area with the highest radiation, Drake said.

"It's safer to be on the surface of Mars than free space," Drake said.

Step 7: Get to the moon

Before making the three-year round-trip to Mars, many of these long-term space systems will be tested in cislunar orbit, according to NASA's timeline of the journey to Mars. Sometime between 2018 and 2030, NASA plans to send crewed missions on spacewalks in the region of space near the moon. Some of these missions could last a year, in preparation for the epic voyage to Mars.

The plans also include a trip to redirect and sample material from an asteroid.

This will provide an opportunity to test out all of the elements of the Mars mission, while not being too far from Earth in case something goes wrong, Logsdon said.

Step 8: Build housing on Mars

Once people have taken the effort to get to Mars, they won't just turn around. The outbound voyage would take six to nine months, but explorers can't return until Mars and Earth are in good alignment relative to the sun, which could take 14 months, Logsdon said. (The return trip will be much shorter if the Earth and Mars are on the same side of the sun, rather than on opposite sides.)

In a way, Mars pioneers would be similar to "the explorers of the 16th century that went on ships across the ocean and were gone from their home country for a long time," Logsdon said.

Given that, it makes sense to make some kind of permanent structure, Logsdon said.

"You need, on the Martian surface, some sort of habitat," Logdson said. "You're not going to live inside a spacesuit all the time. Though it seems far-fetched, the movie "The Martian" showed a relatively realistic depiction of a potential Mars living setup, he added.

Alien Life May Munch on Galactic Cosmic Rays

By Charles Q. Choi, Live Science Contributor

**Cosmic rays may feed alien life found on Earth and potentially on other planets, researchers suggest.**
**Credit: NSF / J. Yang**

Extreme microbes that live in hostile places on Earth may feed off of cosmic rays that zip through space, according to a study of a bizarre bacterium thriving deep in a dark gold mine.

If life exists on other planets such as Mars, it too could be gobbling upcosmic rays in order to survive, the new study suggests.

Video – Plans for first space nation ‘Asgardia in Space’ revealed , citizenship applications opened

Video – Plans for first space nation ‘Asgardia in Space’ revealed , citizenship applications opened

Get ready to pack your bags because there’s a new nation in town, or rather in space. Scientists have unveiled plans for “Asgardia”, a floating nation and defender of the Earth with room for 100,000 citizens.

Dr Igor Ashurbeyli of the Aerospace International Research Center announced the plans in Paris, saying Asgardia aims to “flourish free from the tight restrictions of state control that currently exist.” He announced the plans on the same day he became chairman of UNESCO’s Science of Space committee.

Ashurbeyli said their mission is to act as guardians of the Earth, and the “nation” would first get to work building a protective shield to protect Earth from debris, asteroids and coronal mass ejections from the sun.

Currently all space programs, including commercial, must be supervised and authorised by a government on Earth. When applications for Asgardian citizenship goes above 100,000 they can apply to the UN for the status of state, according to Ashurbeyli.

An online registration form is welcoming applications for citizenship, with the first 100,000 qualifying for automatic citizenship. No word yet on how people can become citizens in the future, or whether there’ll be a wall built between Asgardia and Earth.

Named after the city in the sky ruled by Odin in Norse mythology, Asgardia is the work of a team of scientists and legal experts who claim it will someday become a member of the United Nations with its own flag and national anthem.

Asgardia gets underway in late 2017, when the team plan to launch a satellite into a low-Earth orbit. Until then we’ll have to stay here on boring old Earth.

Florida witness recalls ‘intelligent creature’ encounter

Florida witness recalls ‘intelligent creature’ encounter

A Florida witness at Fernandina Beach recalled a 2006 encounter with an “intelligent creature” in the dark at his home, according to testimony in Case 79026 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

When the witness stepped out of his car, he noticed a ‘cloaked creature’ walking around the corner of the house from the backyard. Pictured: Fernandina Beach, FL.

The witness had just pulled into his driveway about 9 p.m. during September 2006 when the incident began.

“I encountered an unknown, intelligent creature,” the witness stated.“It was very dark out with no cars or street lights nearby.”

The witness stopped his car and turned it off, then opened his door and stood up to exit the vehicle.

“As I stood up, I saw something that is difficult to describe. With the car door still open, I saw what looked like some kind of cloaked creature walking around the corner of the house from the backyard. It was hard to see. It looked like the shadow of a human-sized creature. It was totally black and moved like a person walking upright.”

There was a distortion associated with the creature.

“It blocked out what was behind it and I could really only see the distortion it caused. The distortion had wavy edges as if it was surrounded by energy. I could make out its head and shoulders, but only in vague form.”

The creature looked directly at the witness. Pictured: Fernandina Beach, FL.

The witness saw the creature move.

“The creature took several steps and at the instant that I thought to myself, ‘What is that?’ – it stopped dead in its tracks and appeared to look right at me. At this time, I was scared to death that this creature had noticed me and was looking right at me. After a few seconds of looking at each other, the creature turned and walked back around behind the house and I never saw it again. The entire encounter lasted about 20 seconds.”

The witness recalled stories that a family member told.

“When I saw this I thought for many years it was a ghost or demon as my grandmother often told stories of seeing ghosts. Only recently have I begun to think it was an intelligent creature with a technology that was inexplicable.”

The witness was unable to go inside his home alone that evening.

“After the encounter I got back into my car and drove to my roommate’s work and waited for him to get off work and come home with me. This was the most terrifying experience I’ve ever had. This is the second unknown encounter I’ve had. I reported to MUFON a UFO sighting I had around 1996. For years I believed that encounters like these were just crazy people. I have been forced over the years to believe that we are clearly not alone and not the smartest or most technologically advance creatures on this planet and beyond.”

The creature then backtracked, and went back the same it had come. Pictured: Fernandina Beach, FL.

Fernandina Beach is a city in Nassau County, population 11,487. MUFON Florida State Section Director Thomas Branham closed this case as an Unknown.

“The Field Investigator has only the statement made by the witness and cannot prove or disprove the sighting of a cloaked, black, human like figure at night,” Branham stated in his report. “Although there may be a simple explanation of this occurrence, the Field Investigator would only be making an assumption. Under these circumstances the Field Investigator feels the best conclusion would be Unknown Other.”

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.

Alien Orbs Buzz Around Yellowstone Park Hot Springs, Oct 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: October 12, 2016
Location of sighting: Yellowstone Park, Wyoming

Here we have several glowing orbs moving about over Yellowstone and this is the same area as Old Faithful, which could of course attract alien tourists as well as humans. Why wouldn't aliens be interested in the Earths natural wonders? The movement is proof its not Venus or a hot air balloon. If you knew the truth about the abundance of alien ships, craft and species around us every day, it would blow your mind. The best way to hide from us, is to hide in plain sight.

Cloud Orb Seen Over Boise, Idaho On Aug 6, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Aug 6, 2016, reported Oct 15, 2016
Location of sighting: Boise, Idaho, USA
News source: MUFON #79820

This is a cloud orb, which usually is seen darting in and out of white clouds, and is easiest to spot on a day when there is a nice blue sky background like this one. Orbs are considered entities more than drones. Since the orbs can sense you thoughts when 500 meters or closer, they can be summoned, but only by using sincere thoughts, and not selfish feelings or anger. They also have an extreme intelligence and that only AI on Earth could be compared too. So, yes, I would say they are alive.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

My wife and I were laying in the backyard in the pool so naturally I was staring at the sky and we live on a flight route from Boise. So I'm used to seeing a lot of planes and King is going over and I also come from an Air Force military background. So I was I was laying there looking up I noticed that it looked like there was this bright star even know it was on the 830 and there really wasn't much for stars out yet at least not in that area, so as I watch this I noticed that it never moved even though there how did the trade rooms up there and it was kind of a blustery day so I yelled out my neighbor to take a look and see if he had any opinions on what it might be because I thought maybe it was the star and he said no it's in the wrong area, thought maybe possibly a satellite since it's orbiting around it would travel with this and not moving. But Isaac got my attention more I started the video and take pictures and then I happen to have a telescope sitting on the porch so I tried focusing my iPhone 6s plus which has a pretty good camera through the lens of the telescope although it was shaky I could see a little more detail. So after toiling over talking about it and hearing other people mention it I'm not understanding what it can BS just kind of put it in the back of my head and had these pictures. And after talking to my father which is part of Saturday and was fine he said that I should probably send this to him just to have it looked at so here I am. I would so much love in answer to this. Thank you for any opinions and help you can give, , I think it's the not knowing and the questioning it is bugging the crap out of me. FYI I'm not some your final night or conspiracy but I do believe in a higher arrive from Dennis and I've seen a lot of things in my life to show me May show me I may be right. But this made my hair stand on and I'm creeped me out same with my neighbor and friends I've talked to that side as well hope to hear from you. I had expecting as a place to put my videos and pictures the bigger one that you can see the dot in the center were taken and blown up on my iPhone several times maybe you have better equipment that can do better job.

Glowing orb peeks out from under cloud In Waco, Texas On Oct 12, 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 12, 2016
Location of sighting: Waco, Texas, USA
Source: MUFON #79819

The UFO was visible because of the angle of the sun, cloud and the glowing orb below the cloud peeking out. You can see the area around the orb glowing, lighting up the bottom of the cloud. It would be invisible to the naked eye, however, the digital eye was too perfect to miss it.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

I received these images from a friend's mother, who works at the school were our children attend. She has given her permission to submit these images and her story as we would like to find out what they may be. I was not a witness to this incident, but, I also am trying to find answers as this took place at an elementary school where the children were present at the time. It was a cloudy morning. Her co-worker and her where taking pictures of the Sun peeking over the clouds and did not see anything unusual at the time. It wasn't until they reviewed the images later in the evening that they noticed the anomaly. Both images were taken at the same place not long apart. Unfortunately I do not know which image was taken first. Here is her experience in her own words: The date was Wednesday October 12th. The picture was taken at 9:34 AM. We were on the playground of the Connally School. We had been taking pictures of the kids playing and I noticed a big black cloud. I love looking at clouds so I decided to take a picture of the dark cloud with the sun coming up from behind it. I never noticed anything in the sky while taking the picture and neither did my coworker. Later that day I was looking at the picture and noticed the purple spot on it so I enlarged it to look at it and I was surprised at what I saw. After looking at my picture I looked at my friends picture. She didn't notice anything on her picture at the time. When she saw my picture posted on fb then she went back and looked at hers. I have attached both images, as well as her personal image she cropped to enlarge it. Thank you for your time. And I guarantee we will be watching the sky over the school a lot more closely.

UFO Researcher Messages Mom To Say, Your boy's in trouble." Found Dead in Foreign Country. UFO Sighting News.

Date of death: July 2016
Location of death: Poland
News source:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1988390/ufo-expert-found-dead-days-after-texting-his-mum-asking-her-to-investigate-if-anything-happened-to-him/

First off, condolences to the family of Max Spiers, he was a great UFO researcher. This actually happened back in July, but remembering him is important. He brought a lot of issues to light that most people just don't want to talk about. I will get into that in the next few posts. There are a few people who control most of the world, but that has always been how it is right? Nothing new, but he was trying to expose those with that power, but they got that power by using force in the first place, which means any problem that they cannot solve easily, is eliminated. By the way UFO researchers...don't go putting your face on TV and in movies and expect to go ignored. There are dangers in this area. Its best to stay out of politics and stick to aliens.
Scott C. Waring

News states:
Max Spiers, a 39-year-old father-of-two, was found dead on a sofa in Poland, where he had gone to give a talk about conspiracy theories and UFOs.

He was ruled to have died from natural causes despite no post-mortem examination being carried out on his body.

But his dark investigations into UFOs and government cover-ups may have made him enemies who wanted him dead, says mother Vanessa Bates, 63.

In a chilling text message to his mum just days before his death, Max wrote: “Your boy’s in trouble. If anything happens to me, investigate.”

Originally from Canterbury, Max was a former classmate of Orlando Bloom.
He lived in the United States for a few years, but had returned to the city to stay with his mother, before jetting off to Poland.

Vanessa said: “He was making a name for himself in the world of conspiracy theorists and had been invited to speak at a conference in Poland in July.

“He was staying with a woman who he had not known for long and she told me how she found him dead on the sofa.

“But I think Max had been digging in some dark places and I fear that somebody wanted him dead.”

Max made a career out of investigating UFO sightings and alleged cover-ups. (More at news source).

Metallic UFO Spotted Over East Los Angeles (Hollywood) On Oct 17, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 17, 2016
Location of sighting: East Los Angeles (Hollywood), California, USA
Source: MUFON #79872

Lots of UFOs have been observed over the years over LA, and many of them shapeshifting. The most famous event was called the Battle of Los Angeles back in Feb of 1942, when several large metallic oval UFOs the size of football stadiums slowly flew over the city, as Army artillery guns shot thousands of rounds, but the UFO continued on its way, unharmed in any way. This could be a similar, but smaller sized craft. Back in 1942, they came from the ocean and headed towards the Arizona-Nevada area before disappearing.

First sighting of white ord was arround 12:47 pm. was waitting for step son to get out of school, reach for my camera but by then has dissappered. went home and arround 2:05 came out went to the car got my camera it was a beautiful day. found some shade and look up to the sky SE. I observed a orb; gold/copper color moving from SE to NE. grab my camera and try to focus on but it was gone in a few seconds. look at my watch and it was 2:07pm look up again and I notice a red /orange glow on the clouds but this time NE so I focus and took the first picture.About 30 seconds later it turn into a glowing white hovering object then I immediately took another 3 pictures before it disappear. So I went inside to review my pictures. Since is not the first time I have experience this. I remain pretty calm and happy, it made my day. then later I decided to report it. Hope you would find this data useful.

These UFOs appear to have an energy base, meaning that they don't appear solid and that the energy is contained in a small area. They move like alien drones, but they can be entities. There is a species of aliens that are energy beings, but they don't often mix with humans, since they have almost nothing in come with them. Its possible they are analysing the clouds for pollutants.

I found something interesting in the Podesta emails at Wikileaks today. Edgar Mitchell sent an email to John Podesta (below) so that he could meet with Obama about the future of space exploration. In it he states the real reason we have all wanted to know, about why the United States decided to hide all alien info from the public (highlighted in yellow below).

The RAND Corporation traces its origins to a research and development project created inside the Douglas Aircraft Company to study UFOs secretly retrieved by the U.S. military after the February 1942 Battle of Los Angeles UFO incident.

Battelle, Brookings was a 1960 report commissioned by NASA and created by the Brookings Institution in collaboration with NASA's Committee on Long-Range Studies. It was submitted to the US gov on April 18, 1961.

These were the things that convinced the US gov to hide all UFO and alien intel from the public, but that was 60 years ago, and those rules need to be changed, the public must know the truth.

Email states:

Dear John Pedestal:

As we move into the last half of 2014, the need for extraterrestrial
disclosure intensifies. Thank you for your kind consideration and response
to my email.

This 4 July weekend I will meet with President Obama’s friend, Ambassador Hamamoto, at the US Mission in Geneva during their Independence Day Celebration. While in Geneva I will also speak at the UN and the European Space Agency regarding why we must move forward with disclosure and specific programs such as manned moon missions, since some scientists and others are calling for moon colonization due to what they perceive is happening on Earth.

John, with this email I am requesting a conversation with you and President Obama regarding the next steps in extraterrestrial disclosure for the benefit of our country and our planet.

Fifty years ago Battelle, Brookings and RAND studies on UFOs convinced the government to remove knowledge of the extraterrestrial presence from the citizens of our country. These organizations advised with their best information. However, today much, if not most, of the extraterrestrial reality they examined is known by our citizens. These organizations' resultant strategies and policies of 50 years ago no longer hold credibility or benefit.

Five decades of UFO information have dramatically shifted the public awareness of an extraterrestrial presence. And yet, our government is still operating from outdated beliefs and policies. These are detrimental to trust in government transparency, science, religion, and responsible citizenry embracing the next step in our country’s space travel and research.

Three disclosure issues are prominent: 1) planet sustainability via next generation energies such as zero point energy, 2) galactic travel and research undertaken as an advanced species aware of the extraterrestrial presence, not as uninformed explorers who revert to colonialism and destruction and 3) the example of a confident, engaged government who respectfully regards the wisdom and intellect of its citizens as we move into space.

I respectfully receive your response to my request for conversation on disclosure.

Edgar D. Mitchell, ScD

Eyewitness describes conversation with Area 51 employee, Aug 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of video: Aug 14, 2016

This is an interesting conversation about the greys, and the more violent taller brown aliens. The brown alien he talks about is the same one you see in the movie Fire In The Sky. At least 90% of what he tells us is true. He tries his best to describe the propulsion of the UFOs, and describe how they move from place to place. Its not a worm hole he is describing. Its zero point energy. It may be powered by element 115, that is still uncertain, but how the craft moves as such a high rate of speed is zero point energy, which is evident from the tilt, and from Astronaut Edgar Mitchell's emails, and Bob Lazars thorough explanation of the UFOs movement. The UFO will actually tilt so that it can move like a child on a slide. Zero point energy is an area tag Astronaut Edgar Mitchell worked in and said was brought here by the alien so that we can get rid of fossil fuels...his words, not mine.

Date of sighting: September 16, 2016
Location of sighting: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

It looks like this UFO realized it was being watched and it put on a show for them. They can detect when they have been seen by a person, its sort of like telepathy, which for many aliens is the only way they speak to each other.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

Our friend David saw the craft first and brought it to our attention. All four of us were sitting on our front porch when it appeared. The craft hovered for a minute or two then it moved around a bit stopping and hovering at random. We saw red, white, and blue lights while the craft was both moving and hovering. The lights flashed sequentially in the order of red, blue, and white. It continued to move and hover for a few minutes the lights continued to flash the entire time. The craft hovered for a bit before it flew off and we could no longer see it. A few minutes later our roommate Katelyn saw an object creating a white strip in the sky. As it passed over the moon the object appeared black. The object appeared to be moving east/northeast from high atmosphere to lower altitude out of sight heading toward the beach/lake in the same place other objects have disappeared to.

This just came in today. A Youtube user Mars Alive has found a tiny alien figure inside the front left wheel of the rover! Thats right, and it looks 100% legit. I checked it out, and made the gif above for you to compare for yourself. Its there, and its about 3 cm tall. That matches the other half dozen figures we have found on Mars. The figure is standing upright and on a slanted edge, so its feet are slanted with it, much how a human stands on a slanted steep incline. For it to get into the wheel wheel it had to have crawled in there, so it is alive, but it may be attempting to sabotage the rover in order to stop it from driving over its homes. After this, I would not be surprised if the rover suddenly stopped working altogether.

Mars Alive states:

Incredible mars anomaly found in NASA's Sol 1119 Curiosity Front Hazcam: Left B, captured what appears to be another cover-up by NASA, NASA has many tactics for covering up anomalies on Mars, for example in this image, they have made it darker than the usual images from NASA, when they do this i know it's because they are trying to hide something, NASA's image quality just keeps getting worse as people find incredible anomalies, in this image there appears to be what looks like a small being inside the Curiosity Rover's wheel, this could very well just be ROCK inside the wheel as the rover travels across the Martian Terrain , but to me it seem's to be staring straight into Curiosity Rover's Camera, ROCK or Little Alien Being? Let me know what you think in the comment section bellow.

Kosmische straling zal astronauten naar Mars dement en paranoïde maken - HLN.be

Amerikaans president Obama wil mensen op Mars laten wonen, zo maakte hij vandaag bekend. "Die reuzensprong zal Amerika maken", liet hij weten. Vrijwilligers genoeg, alleen moeten die weten dat ze door de kosmische straling risico lopen dement en/of paranoïde te worden. Daarvoor waarschuwt een nieuwe studie.

Astronauten op weg naar Mars kunnen dementie ontwikkelen, naast een onbeheersbaar angstgevoel dat de onderzoekers 'space brain' noemen. Wetenschappers onderzochten de effecten van de kosmische straling waarmee astronauten zullen gebombardeerd worden. Die blijkt een probleem te vormen voor wie een buitenaardse kolonie zou willen stichten op de Rode Planeet.

NASA onderzoekt momenteel hoe het mensen naar Mars kan sturen, en de Nederlandse groep Mars One plant de eerste bemande Marsvlucht tegen 2027. De Amerikaanse ondernemer Elon Musk wil tegen 2022 mensen naar Mars sturen.

Angstbestrijdingsproces
Professor Charles Limoli, expert in stralingsoncologie aan de universiteit van Californië, stelde samen met zijn collega's vast dat deeltjes in die kosmische straling op lange termijn bij muizen voor verminderde hersenfuncties en dementie leiden. De straling bleek ook in te werken op het zogenaamde 'angstbestrijdingsproces', dat de mens helpt angsaanjagende incidenten te overwinnen zodat hij bijvoorbeeld opnieuw kan gaan zwemmen na bijna verdronken te zijn. Dat stelt Limoli in het vakblad Scientific Reports.

"Dat is geen goed nieuws voor astronauten die een reis van twee tot drie jaar naar Mars aanvatten", besluit hij.

Levenslang

"De ruimte stelt de astronauten voor unieke gevaren. Blootstelling aan die stralingspartikels kan leiden tot een hele reeks complicaties in het centrale zenuwstelsel, tijdens de ruimtereis en lang daarna. Het gaat dan om de afname van prestaties, geheugenverlies, angsten, depressies en verzwakte besluitvorming. Die kunnen levenslang aanhouden".

"Niet aan te ontsnappen"

Delen van het ruimtetuig zouden extra schilden tegen kosmische stralen kunnen krijgen, maar dat volstaat vooralsnog niet omunieke gevaren. Blootstelling aan die stralingspartikels kan leiden tot een hele reeks complicaties in het centrale zenuwstelsel, tijdens de ruimtereis en lang daarna. Het gaat dan om de afname van prestaties, geheugenverlies, angsten, depressies en verzwakte besluitvorming. Die kunnen levenslang aanhouden".

Paniek
De eerste Marsverkenners riskeren ook nog tijdens de vlucht aan paranoïa ten prooi te vallen door het effect op het hersenproces dat afrekent met stresserende gebeurtenissen. "Die verminderde angstbestrijding maakt je vatbaar voor paniek, wat voor problemen kan zorgen tijdens zo'n lange ruimtereis", stelt Limoli.

Astronauten hebben dan wel al langer dan een jaar in het International Space Station (ISS) verbleven, daar werden ze niet aan dezelfde mate van kosmische straling blootgesteld omdat ze in de beschermende magnetosfeer van de Aarde zitten. de astronauten te beschermen. "Er valt niet aan de kosmische stralen te ontsnappen", meent Limoli. Hij en zijn team werken aan een medicijn dat bescherming zou bieden tegen de zwaarste effecten van de straling.

De ongerustheid was af te lezen op de gezichten in het European Space Operations Centre in het Dutise Darmstadt. "Het is duidelijk dat de voortekens niet goed zijn, maar we hebben meer informatie nodig", had Paolo Ferri, afdelingshoofd Operaties bij ESA, enkele uren eerder al gezegd. "Er kunnen vele, vele redenen zijn voor de stilte."

Vandaag om 10 uur 's morgens maakt ESA een stand van zaken op.

Britse ufo-expert sterft enkele dagen na sms'je aan mama: "Je zoon is in gevaar" - HLN.be

Bron: telegraph.co.uk

© rv.

Max Spiers (39) sms'te naar zijn moeder dat zij de zaak moest laten onderzoeken als er iets met hem zou gebeuren. Een paar dagen later werd de ufo-expert en bekend aanhanger van complottheorieën dood aangetroffen in zijn zetel in het Poolse Warschau.

Spiers was in Polen voor een lezing over samenzweringstheorieën. Hij zou officieel in juni een natuurlijke dood gestorven zijn, maar er werd geen autopsie uitgevoerd op zijn lichaam. Zijn moeder, Vanessa Bates (63), vreest dat hij vijanden had die hem liever dood zagen, wegens zijn duistere onderzoek naar ufo's en cover-ups van regeringen. "Je zoon is in gevaar. Als er iets met mij gebeurt, onderzoek dat dan", sms'te hij amper enkele dagen voor zijn dood aan zijn moeder.

Spiers kwam oorspronkelijk uit Canterbury en was destijds een klasgenootje van acteur Orlando Bloom. Hij woonde de laatste jaren in de VS, maar was naar Canterbury teruggekomen om bij zijn moeder te gaan wonen en vervolgens dus naar Polen te reizen voor een congres. Hij verbleef in Warschau bij een vrouw die hij amper kende. Zij was het die Spiers dood aantrof in de zetel. Volgens vrienden van Spiers had hij een "zwarte vloeistof uitgebraakt".

Complottheoristen geloven dat ufojagers die te dicht bij de waarheid komen, afgehouden worden door de staatsveiligheid. De laatste tijd zou Max Spiers ook zitten neuzen hebben in de levens van bekende figuren uit de politiek en uit de zaken- en enterainmentwereld. Vele online volgers van Spiers zijn ervan overtuigd dat hij stierf in erg verdachte omstandigheden en eisen een lijkschouwing. Volgens Spiers' moeder Vanessa was haar zoon kerngezond op het moment van zijn overlijden. "En dan zou hij zomaar plots in zijn zetel gestorven zijn?" Vanessa Bates krijgt niet meer officiële documenten over de dood van haar zoon te zien dan het papier dat zegt dat de doodsoorzaak natuurlijk was.

Het lichaam van Spiers werd een week na zijn dood overgevlogen naar Canterbury, waar hij begraven werd. In Kent werd wél een autopsie uitgevoerd, maar meer dan twee maanden later kent Vanessa Bates nog altijd de resultaten daarvan niet.

Spiers laat twee zonen na en had nog een broer, Josh, en een zus, Becky. Zij zijn allemaal vastberaden om te strijden om de waarheid over de mysterieuze dood van Max Spiers te achterhalen. Officieel zit het Britse onderzoek nog "in de prille beginfase".

Cloudy With a Chance of Sulfur: Monstrous Cloud Will Collide With the Milky Way

This composite image shows the size and location of the Smith Cloud on the sky. The cloud appears in false-color, radio wavelengths as observed by the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. The visible-light image of the background star field shows the cloud's location in the direction of the constellation Aquila.

Shows how the light from distant background objects is affected as it passes through the cloud

Hubble's Cosmic Origins Spectrograph can measure how the light from distant background objects is affected as it passes through the cloud, yielding clues to the chemical composition of the cloud. Astronomers trace the cloud's origin to the disk of our Milky Way. Combined ultraviolet and radio observations correlate to the cloud's infall velocities, providing solid evidence that the spectral features link to the cloud's dynamics.

IN BRIEF

A giant space cloud that measures 11,000 lightyears in length by 2,500 lightyears in width is set on a collision course with the Milky Way.
The collision won't kill us, but it will result in a magnificent light show featuring the birth of 2 million stars.

SAVE THE DATE

You’re all invited to an epic collision, right in our own galactic backyard, about 30 million years from now. A giant space cloud, moving at a rate of 1.1 million km/h (700,000 mph), is set on a collision course with the Milky Way, according to Hubble Space Telescope researchers.

Smith’s Cloud, a massive billow of gas made up mostly of hydrogen and heavier sulfur, measures 11,000 lightyears in length by 2,500 lightyears in width (a lightyear is around 9.5 trillion km). Discovered in 1963 by Dutch radio astronomer Gail Smith, it’s believed that the giant space cloud was formed some 70 million years ago.

Owing to high traces of sulfur gas, scientists think Smith’s Cloud probably originated from the Milky Way. However, no one seems able to explain how it was expelled out of our galaxy. Now, it returns with a bang.

CONSTANT AND COSMIC

Let’s be clear, however: we’re not going to die from this collision — at least no one from Earth — because it’ll happen thousands of lightyears from us, at the very fringes of the Milky Way. Life (human or artificial) on Earth 30 million years from now will not suffer from this clash of clouds. Instead, they will enjoy a magnificent light show featuring the birth of 2 million stars.

PR2016-03_Smith-Cloud-3-panel_editable-text
It’s a stellar reminder of how evolution happens even at cosmic scales. Space Telescope Science Institute astronomer, and a leading Smith’s Cloud researcher, Andrew Fox explained in a statement:

“The cloud is an example of how the galaxy is changing with time. It’s telling us that the Milky Way is a bubbling, very active place where gas can be thrown out of one part of the disk and then return back down into another.”

“Our galaxy is recycling its gas through clouds, the Smith Cloud being one example, and will form stars in different places than before,” Fox added. “Hubble’s measurements of the Smith Cloud are helping us to visualize how active the disks of galaxies are.”

Seeing Red: Pluto Probe's Next Target Has a Bloody Hue

By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

The tiny, faraway object that NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will fly by in 2019 is even redder than Pluto, new observations by the Hubble Space Telescope suggest.

The New Horizons team used Hubble to study 11 objects in the Kuiper Belt, the realm of frigid bodies beyond Neptune's orbit whose most famousresident is Pluto. One of those 11 is 2014 MU69, which New Horizons will zoom past on Jan. 1, 2019.

It turns out that 2014 MU69 "is even redder than Pluto, though not quite as red as Mars," Amanda Zangari, a New Horizons post-doctoral researcher from the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, said today (Oct. 18) during a news conference at a joint meeting of the American Astronomical Society Division for Planetary Sciences and the European Planetary Science Congress in Pasadena, California. [NASA's New Horizons Pluto Flyby in Pictures]

While astronomers have yet to pin down 2014 MU69's size, they believe that it's just 13 to 25 miles (21 to 40 kilometers) wide. 2014 MU69 is now the smallest Kuiper Belt object (KBO) whose color has been measured, Zangari said.

Knowing that 2014 MU69 is reddish does more than just jazz up visualizations of the 2019 flyby, during which New Horizons will zoom within 1,860 miles (3,000 km) of the body's surface. This information strongly suggests that 2014 MU69 is part of the Kuiper Belt's "cold classical" region, which harbors primordial objects that have changed little since the dawn of the solar system nearly 4.6 billion years ago, Zangari said.

"The data confirms that on New Year's Day 2019, New Horizons will be looking at one of the ancient building blocks of the planets," she said in a statement.

The $700 million New Horizons mission launched in January 2006. After more than nine years of spaceflight, the probe performed the first-ever flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015, coming within 7,800 miles (12,550 km) of the dwarf planet's surface. The encounter revealed Pluto to be a surprisingly complex and active world with a rich diversity of landscapes, from huge water-ice mountains to vast, crater-free plains of nitrogen ice.

For the past 15 months, New Horizons has been beaming home the treasure trove of data that it gathered during the July 2015 flyby. But that work is nearly complete: All the flyby measurements and images should be in mission team members' hands by Oct. 23, NASA officials said.

The January 2019 encounter with 2014 MU69, which lies about 1 billion miles (1.6 billion km) beyond Pluto, is part of New Horizons' recently approved extended mission. The spacecraft is currently 600 million miles (960 million km) from 2014 MU69, NASA officials said.

European Spacecraft Reaches Mars Orbit, But Lander's Fate Uncertain

By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

Europe succeeded in placing a methane-sniffing spacecraft in orbit around Mars today (Oct. 19), but it's still unclear if that probe's piggyback lander made it safely down to the planet's surface as planned.

The Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), part of the European-Russian ExoMars 2016 mission, slipped into orbit around the Red Planet late this morning after completing a crucial engine burn, European Space Agency (ESA) officials said.

"It's all good," ExoMars Flight Operations Director Michel Denis said at a news conference this afternoon. "It's a good spacecraft at the right place, and we have a mission around Mars." [Europe's ExoMars 2016 Landing: Complete Coverage]

**The European Space Agency's ExoMars project involves an orbiter, lander and rover, launched on two separate Proton rockets (infographic)**
**Credit: by Karl Tate, Infographics Artist**

But that's just half of the story.

ExoMars 2016's lander, called Schiaparelli, hit the Martian atmosphere as expected at 10:42 a.m. EDT (1442 GMT); however, mission team members are still waiting for a signal to confirm that the craft survived its touchdown six minutes later.

Schiaparelli's signal came in loud and clear as the lander streaked through the Martian atmosphere but stopped shortly before the lander was scheduled to hit the ground, said Paolo Ferri, head of ESA's mission operations department.

"It's clear that these are not good signs, but we will need more information, and that's what's going to happen tonight," Ferri said. "I'm quite confident that tomorrow morning we will know" what happened, he added.

If Schiaparelli did stick its landing, the maneuver would mark the first fully successful Mars touchdown by Europe or Russia — by any entity other than NASA, as a matter of fact.

Tag-teaming Mars

Schiaparelli and TGO launched together in March, lifting off atop a Russian Proton rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The two spacecraft represent the first phase of the two-part ExoMars program, which is led by ESA with Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, as chief partner. The second phase of ExoMars will launch a life-hunting rover in 2020, if all goes according to plan.

Europe is spending 1.3 billion euros ($1.43 billion at current exchange rates) on the ExoMars program, ESA officials have said.

Schiaparelli and TGO traveled together until Sunday (Oct. 16), when they separated ahead of their divergent Mars arrivals.

Schiaparelli reached the Red Planet first, hitting the thin Martian atmosphere at the blistering speed of 13,050 mph (21,000 km/h). Mission team members tracked the lander's progress this far, but they weren't able follow it all the way down to the surface.

"Initial signals [from Schiaparelli] were received via the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) as Schiaparelli descended to the surface of Mars, but no signal indicating touchdown yet," ESA officials wrote in a blog post this morning, referring to an array of dishes near Pune, India.

**This graphic provides an overview of Schiaparelli's planned Oct. 19, 2016, entry, descent and landing sequence on Mars, with the approximate time, altitude and speed of key events indicated.**
**Credit: ESA/ATG medialab**

"This is not unexpected due to the very faint nature of the signal received at GMRT," they added. "A clearer assessment of the situation will come when ESA's Mars Express [orbiter] will have relayed the recording of Schiaparelli's entry, descent and landing."

But the data from Mars Express — which has been circling the Red Planet since 2003 — were inconclusive, ESA officials later said, so Schiaparelli's fate remains uncertain. The situation should clear up by tomorrow, after mission team members have had more time to search for signals coming from the lander using GMRT, Mars Express and two other orbiters — NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) spacecraft.

Schiaparelli came down in the Meridiani Planum, a highland region just south of the Martian equator. NASA's Opportunity rover touched down in Meridiani Planum back in January 2004 and is still going strong today.

But Schiaparelli won't come close to Opportunity's longevity, even if the probe survived today's touchdown intact: The ExoMars 2016 lander is powered by nonrechargeable batteries that should die in just a few days, ESA officials have said. That's because Schiaparelli is a landing demonstrator whose primary purpose is proving out technology required to get the ExoMars 2020 rover down on Mars safely.

The data Schiaparelli gathers would therefore be limited. The lander does feature a meteorological station to measure temperature, wind speed, humidity and other weather conditions on the Martian surface. Schiaparelli also was programmed to do some science work during its brief descent through the planet's atmosphere — for example, measuring air density, pressure and temperature from an altitude of 81 miles (130 km) down to the planet's surface, ESA officials said.

The plan also called for Schiaparelli to capture 15 black-and-white images as it fell. The lander's camera was not designed to take photos from the surface. [How Europe's ExoMars Missions Work (Infographic)]

**Credit: ESA**

TGO didn't have to withstand the "six minutes of terror" that confronted Schiaparelli, but the orbiter's arrival was harrowing in its own way. The spacecraft had to fire its main engine for 139 minutes beginning at 9:05 a.m. EDT (1305 GMT) today, or else go sailing past Mars and into orbit around the sun.

But TGO did its job, and the probe settled into a highly elliptical orbit around the Red Planet at 11:24 a.m. EDT (1524 GMT), ESA officials said. TGO's current four-day orbital path takes the spacecraft as close as 186 miles (300 km) to Mars and as far away as 60,000 miles (96,000 km), if the mission team's pre-arrival calculations reflect reality.

But TGO won't stay in this orbit forever. In March 2017, the spacecraft will begin a yearlong "aerobraking" campaign, shifting into a circular, 250-mile-high (400 km) orbit by zipping through the Martian atmosphere at high altitudes. (This will create drag that slows TGO and lowers its orbit.)

By March 2018, TGO should be ready to start its science mission, which involves searching the Martian atmosphere for methane and other gases that could be signs of alien life. (While methane can be produced by geological processes, the vast majority of the methane in Earth's atmosphere was generated by living organisms.)

TGO will also hunt for deposits of water ice on or just below the Martian surface and serve as a communications relay for Opportunity, NASA'sCuriosity rover and the ExoMars 2020 rover, ESA officials have said. TGO's mission is scheduled to end in December 2022.

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.

The original 'Face on Mars' image taken by NASA's Viking 1 orbiter, in grey scale, on July, 25 1976. Image shows a remnant massif located in the Cydonia region.

Exploring Mars

The arrival of TGO brings the tally of active spacecraft at Mars up to eight. Two of them are surface craft — Opportunity and Curiosity — while the other six are orbiters: NASA's Mars Odyssey, MRO and MAVEN; Mars Express; India's Mars Orbiter Mission; and TGO.

Schiaparelli could still be added to this list, though its inclusion would last just a few days (until its batteries run out). And more robotic explorers are headed to the Red Planet in the near future. NASA plans to launch a lander called InSight in 2018, to probe the interior structure of Mars. And two life-hunting rovers should follow in 2020: the ExoMars vehicle and NASA's 2020 Mars rover.

Pluto is hazy, with a chance of clouds.

Scientists working with data from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, which flew past Pluto last year, are presenting some of their latest results this week in Pasadena, Calif., at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences.

The findings include images showing seven small, bright spots that might be clouds floating just above Pluto’s surface.

New Horizons had already discovered haze in Pluto’s tenuous atmosphere, rising more than 120 miles into the sky and separated into at least 24 distinct layers.

“But hazes are not clouds,” S. Alan Stern, the principal investigator of New Horizons, said during a news conference on Tuesday.

Hazes spread out and do not block sunlight. If you were to stand on Pluto and look upward, its haze would filter only 2 percent of the light, Dr. Stern said. A cloud, on the other hand, is a puff that you cannot see through.

The crystal-clear images that New Horizons took during its flyby in July 2015 showed that Pluto was almost entirely cloud-free.

But careful sifting of high-resolution images revealed seven possible clouds, although Dr. Stern said there was no way to know for sure. All seven are bright features of similar size — on the order of miles — and all occurred near dawn or dusk, perhaps times when Plutonian clouds are more likely to form.

“We don’t see any decks or banks of clouds,” Dr. Stern said. “We see individual, discrete potential cloud features.”

Bonnie J. Buratti, an astronomer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, also noted the widely ranging reflectivity of Pluto’s surface.

Regions near the Equator reflect just 8 percent of the sunlight, while places in Sputnik Planitia, the western half of the heart-shape feature on Pluto, are as bright as fresh snow.

Landing on Mars: Schiaparelli, Dust Storms, and Our Quest to Colonize Space

NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS

IN BRIEF

Planetary scientist James Shirley has suggested a model that could help predict when Mars' global dust storms are most likely to occur.
The winds in the strongest Martian storms top out at about 97 km/h (60 mph), less than half the speed of some hurricane-force winds on Earth.

A GLOBAL THREAT

In preparation for the eventual manned missions to the red planet, scientists are investigating everything from Mars’ atmospheric conditions to how to grow food with Martian soil. But one weather phenomenon has consistently stumped astronomers: Mars’ dust storms.

Mars gets a large variety of dust storms, everything from small dust devils to massive “global” storms. When these storms coalesce, they become more regional systems, as big as continents. Rarely, these regional systems grow big enough that they become global surface features. Such storms are obviously very troublesome when it comes to landing on the red planet.

NASA

Now, planetary scientist James Shirley has suggested a model that could help predict when Mars’ global dust storms are most likely to occur. During the course of Mars’ orbit, the planet’s momentum alters based on the net attractions that go on around it. The planet eventually has to give that momentum back.

Shirley predicts that these global storms occur in periods when Mars’ angular momentum is increasing (due to the aforementioned forces) and the planet is in the first part of the dust storm season. Shirley points out that no global storm “occurred in years when the momentum was decreasing during the first part of the dust storm season.”

But unlike popular depictions of Martian dust storms ( i.e. The Martian), these dust storms aren’t strong enough to rip apart major equipment. Still, accurate predictions are necessary for extended colonization and landings for a number of reasons.

Study predicts next global dust storm on Mars

Two 2001 images from the Mars Orbiter Camera on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor orbiter show a dramatic change in the planet's appearance when haze raised by dust-storm activity in the south became globally distributed. The images were taken about a month apart.

EXOMARS AND MORE

Predicting these global storms has been one of the priorities of anybody who wants to go Mars as, back in 2007, two Martian rovers had to be placed in survival mode after a global dust storm severely cut into their solar supply.

It’s this unpredictability that scientists are trying to counter. Enter: the Schiaparelli lander of the ExoMars mission, which is set to arrive at the red planet today. In theory, it should have already touched down, but confirmation will take hours. Finding the signal in an “ocean of noise” is not going to be quick, according to ESA’s Andrea Accomazzo.

The main purpose of Schiaparelli is to test landing technologies for future missions. It carries a small weather station to measure temperature, humidity, and factors from these dust storms. Ultimately, this would could greatly assist us with future landing efforts.

Today’s landing is meant to be a stepping stone for subsequent missions that will search for life on Mars. In 2018, for example, NASA hopes to land the Insight probe on Mars. SpaceX has been vocal about plans to drop one of its Dragon capsules on the Martian surface. Further, Europe and Russia already have a follow-up ExoMars collaboration for 2020.

It’s going to be a busy decade on the Red Planet.

Astronaut: “Aliens uit aangrenzend universum brengen nulpuntenergie naar de aarde”

Op de klokkenluiderswebsite WikiLeaks staan e-mails die door astronaut Edgar Mitchell zijn verstuurd aan John Podesta, campagnemanager van Hillary Clinton en oud-topadviseur van president Obama.

Mitchell, de zesde man op de maan, zei met Podesta te willen spreken over buitenaards contact en nulpuntenergie. De astronaut, die begin dit jaar overleed, zei het ook te willen hebben over de wapenwedloop in de ruimte.

“De niet-gewelddadige aliens uit het aangrenzende universum helpen ons om nulpuntenergie naar de aarde te brengen,” zei dr. Mitchell. “Zij tolereren geen enkele vorm van militair geweld op aarde of in de ruimte.”

Verdrag

“Ik heb in Genève een ontmoeting gehad met de Amerikaanse ambassadeur Pamela Hamamoto, een jeugdvriend van Obama, waar ik haar kort heb geïnformeerd over nulpuntenergie,” schreef hij. “Ik denk dat we haar kunnen noemen als vertrouwenspersoon in onze presentatie voor president Obama.”

Hij merkte op dat hij samen met Carol Rosin, die jarenlang samenwerkte met raketgeleerde Wernher von Braun, heeft gewerkt aan een verdrag dat wapens in de ruimte verboden moet maken.

Mitchell gaf aan dat hij ook zijn collega Terri Mansfield erbij wilde hebben, om Podesta te informeren over de informatie die het Vaticaan heeft over aliens.

Meer dan hoog tijd

Podesta zei eerder dat het ‘meer dan hoog tijd is om ernstig onderzoek te doen naar wat er is – out there’. Hij wil dat alle Amerikaanse onderzoeken naar UFO’s worden gepubliceerd. “We moeten dit doen omdat het Amerikaanse volk kan omgaan met de waarheid,” zei hij.

Mitchell, die deel uitmaakte van de Apollo 14-missie, zei vorig jaar dat vredelievende aliens op aarde een atoomoorlog tussen de VS en Rusland hebben voorkomen. Ze vlogen met hun UFO’s over Amerikaanse raketbases en maakten vaak de raketten onklaar, aldus de astronaut.

Life DOES still exist on Mars - and the Viking Lander found it in 1976, major new study claims

1976 Viking (LR) experiment found evidence to support microbial life
Many have dismissed this and proposed non-biological hypotheses
But, new analysis says results are 'consistent with biological explanation'
Suggests microorganisms on Mars adapted and evolved to environment

By CHEYENNE MACDONALD FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Forty years ago, two landers in a Martian experiment known as the Viking Labeled Release produced positive evidence for microbial life on the red planet.

Separated by 4,000 miles, both of the Viking landers yielded similar, repeatable results, prompting researchers to conclude – controversially – that Martian life had been detected.

Though many have dismissed the findings as non-biological, the soil materials that would support this explanation have yet to be identified.

With the historical data considered, along with recent evidence of water, complex organic molecules, and methane on Mars, astrobiologists are now warning against ruling out the possibility of life, and instead argue that the evidence shows it ‘must be considered.’

An image of the Martian surface is pictured above, taken approximately in September 1976 at Utopia Planitia by the U.S. Viking 2 unmanned spacecraft. Researchers say the evidence from the Viking experiments is ‘consistent with a biological explanation’

WAS MARTIAN LIFE FOUND 40 YEARS AGO?

Researchers examined the results from the 1976 Viking Labeled Release experiment, which at the time was said to have found extant microbial life.

The results showed simiarities to responses seen in terrestrial soil, including data from samples collected in California, Alaska, and Antarctica

They also evaluated non-biological hypotheses which have suggested that the results were ‘most likely caused by a non-biological soil oxidant.’

But, no such oxidant that could satisfy all of the findings has ever been identified, and there have been no further metabolic experiments on the red planet.

The researchers determined that the findings from the Viking experiments are ‘consistent with a biological explanation,’ suggesting microorganisms on Mars adapted and evolved to meet harsh environmental conditions.

In an article published to the journal Astrobiology, experts from Arizona State University, Tempe, and the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda say the evidence is ‘consistent with a biological explanation,’ suggesting microorganisms on Mars adapted and evolved to meet harsh environmental conditions.

The researchers delved into the findings from the 1976 Viking Labeled Release (LR) experiment, and evaluated the ‘non-biological hypotheses.’

In the LR experiments, samples of Martian soil from both landers were subjected to nutrient injection, preheating, and were even stored in the dark for roughly two months.

The results showed striking similarities to responses seen in terrestrial soil, including data from samples collected in California, Alaska, and Antarctica.

‘Each of these characteristics is reminiscent of responses by a compendium of terrestrial microorganism species, including the initial positive responses, the 160C and 50C heat controls, the reabsorption of evolved gas upon second injection of nutrient, and death from isolated long-term storage,’ the authors note.

In the LR experiments, samples of Martian soil from both landers were subjected to nutrient injection, preheating, and were even stored in the dark for roughly two months. The results, pictured, showed similarities to responses seen in terrestrial soil

THE VIKING LANDERS

The two landers in Nasa’s Viking mission touched down to Mars on July 20, 1976 (Viking 1) and September 3, 1976 (Viking 2).

They were equipped with a slew of instruments, including gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer, X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, seismometer, meteorology instrument, and stereo color cameras.

This enabled them to search for possible signs of life, along with studying the physical and magnetic properties of the soil and atmosphere.

The craft continued their mission until the final transmission to Earth on November 11, 1982 (Viking 1) and April 11, 1980 (Viking 2).

Numerous explanations have been proposed over the years to address these findings, including those which have suggested that the results were ‘most likely caused by a non-biological soil oxidant.’

But, no such oxidant that could satisfy all of the findings has ever been identified, and there have been no further metabolic experiments on the red planet.

As manned missions to Mars are now ‘inevitable’ in the years to come, the researchers say it is a concern for health, safety, and biology to explain the results found in 1976.

‘Plans for any Mars sample return mission should also take into account that such a sample may contain viable, even if dormant, alien life,’ the authors write.

The authors urge future missions to carry out life-seeking experiments, including the search for organic molecules of biological importance

And, according to the team, this is the ‘only pristine life-detecting experiment that we will ever have,’ as the Viking landers were heat treated to reduce microbial counts – and no other spacecraft have been since.

Consequently, these untreated craft may have infected the planet with terrestrial ‘hitch-hikers.’

The authors urge future missions to carry out life-seeking experiments, including the search for organic molecules of biological importance.

‘Even if one is not convinced that the Viking LR results give strong evidence for life on Mars, this paper clearly shows that the possibility must be considered,’ says Chris McKay, PhD, Senior Editor of Astrobiology and an astrobiologist with Nasa Ames Research Center.

‘We cannot rule out the biological explanation. This has implications for plans for sample return from Mars and future human missions.’

UFO expert Max Spiers' death prompts conspiracy theories

Max Spiers died in Warsaw in June this year.

CREDIT: MAXSPIERS.COM

Max Spiers, a British Ufologist and conspiracy theorist, sent his mother a text message days before his death earlier this year saying: “If anything happens to me, investigate.”

Spiers, 39, originally from Canterbury, was found dead in Warsaw in June.

We all want answers to this and I will continue to fight to get to the truthVanessa Bates, Max Spiers' mother

Local authorities say he died from natural causes – but his mother has told reporters she has doubts over the verdic

Vanessa Bates, an English teacher, said: "He was making a name for himself in the world of conspiracy theorists and had been invited to speak at a conference in Poland in July.

"He was staying with a woman who he had not known for long and she told me how she found him dead on the sofa.

"But I think Max had been digging in some dark places and I fear that somebody wanted him dead."

Ms Bates remarks have prompted fevered online speculation among conspiracy theorists. Scott C Waring of UFO Sightings Daily told Metro: “This is really strange. It does seem that UFO researchers are now being targeted, probably to slow the rate of information being leaked to the public.”

However, author and journalist Nick Pope, who investigated the UFO phenomenon for the Ministry of Defence in the early Nineties, said onTwitter: “The death of Max Spiers was a tragedy, but having run the UK Government's UFO project I promise we don't go around killing UFO researchers.”

Ms Bates described her son as a “very fit man who was in good health", adding: "All I have is a death certificate from the Polish authorities that it was from natural causes, but no post-mortem was done so how can they tell that?

"They are also refusing to release any paperwork about it to me because, absurdly, I don't have his written permission.

"He has a brother, Josh, and sister, Becky, who are both devastated, as are his two boys. We all want answers to this and I will continue to fight to get to the truth."

North East Kent coroner's office said that an investigation into Mr Spiers’ death was in its “very early" stages.

UFO-expert Max Spiers sms’te moeder vlak voor dood: “Als er iets met me gebeurt, ga dan op onderzoek uit”

Max Spiers, een Britse ufoloog en complottheoreticus, stuurde zijn moeder enkele dagen voor zijn dood eerder dit jaar een sms waarin stond: “Als er iets met me gebeurt, ga dan op onderzoek uit.”

Spiers (39) werd in juni dood gevonden in Polen. De lokale autoriteiten zeggen dat hij een natuurlijke dood is gestorven, maar zijn moeder vertelde aan journalisten dat ze twijfels heeft.

“Hij was bekend in de wereld van complottheoretici en was uitgenodigd voor een conferentie in Polen,” zei Vanessa Bates. “Hij logeerde bij een vrouw die hij nog niet zo lang kende en zij vertelde me dat ze hem dood op de bank had gevonden.”

Doelwit

“Ik denk dat Max zijn neus in duistere zaakjes had gestoken en ben bang dat iemand hem dood wilde hebben,” voegde ze toe.

Op internet wordt druk gespeculeerd over zijn dood. Scott Waring van UFO Sightings Daily vertelde aanMetro: “Dit is echt vreemd. Het lijkt erop dat UFO-onderzoekers nu het doelwit zijn, waarschijnlijk om ervoor te zorgen dat er minder informatie wordt gelekt aan het publiek.”

Gezond

Journalist Nick Pope, die jarenlang voor het Britse ministerie van Defensie onderzoek deed naar UFO’s, zei op Twitter dat de dood van Max Spiers een tragedie was, maar voegde toe dat de Britse overheid geen UFO-onderzoekers doodt.

Bates zei dat haar zoon gezond was en een goede conditie had. “Het enige wat ik heb is een overlijdensakte van de Poolse autoriteiten waarin staat dat hij een natuurlijke dood is gestorven, maar dat er geen lijkschouwing is verricht. Hoe kunnen ze dat dan weten?”

Zijn moeder zei dat ze ook weigeren om het papierwerk vrij te geven, omdat ze geen geschreven toestemming heeft. “Dat is toch absurd? Ik zal blijven vechten om de waarheid boven tafel te krijgen,” zei ze.

Klokkenluider: “Beste Elon Musk, er zijn al lang mensen op Mars”

Klokkenluider: "Beste Elon Musk, er zijn al sinds de jaren dertig mensen op Mars"

Klokkenluider: “Beste Elon Musk, er zijn al lang mensen op Mars”

Miljardair Elon Musk is van plan rond 2024 de eerste mensen naar Mars te sturen. Dat zei hij op een ruimtevaartconferentie in Mexico. De directeur van autofabrikant Tesla is ook de man achter het ruimtevaartbedrijf SpaceX, dat grootse plannen heeft met de rode planeet.

Vanaf 2024 wil Musk om de 26 maanden een raket met 100 mensen naar Mars sturen voor een reis die zes tot negen maanden zal duren.

Gekoloniseerd

Volgens klokkenluider Corey Goode zijn ‘we’ al geruime tijd op Mars. “Mars werd in de jaren dertig voor het eerst bezocht door de Duitsers, maar in de jaren zeventig verkende de VS Mars en andere planeten om daar nederzettingen te bouwen,” zei hij op internetzender Gaia. “In 1980 werd het US SSP (special space program) veranderd in Solar Warden. Tijdens dit project werden Mars en andere planeten gekoloniseerd. Op Mars werden bases onder het oppervlak gebouwd.”

Deze week schreef president Barack Obama in een opiniestuk voor CNN dat Amerika mensen rond het jaar 2030 naar Mars wil sturen. Volgens Goode zijn er echter al mensen op Mars en is de rode planeet gekoloniseerd.

Strijden

Goode werd naar eigen zeggen in december 1986 ondergebracht bij Project Solar Warden, een zogehetenunacknowledged special access program (USAP). Vanuit een onderzoeksschip in de ruimte moest hij tussen 1986 en december 2007 het zonnestelsel bestuderen, zo zegt hij in een persverklaring.

Ondertussen strijden verschillende zakenmagnaten erom wie als eerste mensen op Mars zal afleveren. Onder hen zijn Boeing-topman Dennis Muilenburg en zoals gezegd Elon Musk van SpaceX.

Begin deze maand vertelde Muilenburg aan Bloomberg Technology: “Het zal mijn bedrijf zijn dat de eerste mensen naar Mars zal sturen, niet Musk. Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat de eerste mens op Mars zal aankomen in een raket van Boeing.”

Grote studie: Marslanders ontdekten in 1976 buitenaards leven (en het bestaat nog steeds)

Veertig jaar geleden ontdekten twee Marslanders bewijs voor leven op de rode planeet. Beide Viking-landers verzamelden monsters waaruit volgens onderzoekers bleek dat er microben leefden op Mars.

Recent bewijs voor water, complexe biologische moleculen en methaan op Mars hebben samen met de resultaten van de Viking-missie in 1976 geleid tot de conclusie dat leven op Mars een mogelijkheid is die overwogen moet worden. Dat zeggen wetenschappers in een artikel dat is gepubliceerd in het bladAstrobiology.

In het stuk bespreken Gilbert V. Levin van de Arizona State University en Patricia Ann Straat van de National Institutes of Health (NIH) het bewijs dat de ‘biologische hypothese’ ondersteunt.

Overwogen

Volgens veel wetenschappers hebben de Viking-landers geen bewijs gevonden voor leven op de rode planeet, maar Levin en Straat concluderen dat experimenteel bewijs wijst in de richting van micro-organismen die zich hebben aangepast aan de extreme omstandigheden op Mars.

“Zelfs al is men er niet van overtuigd dat tijdens het Viking Labeled Release-experiment sterk bewijs is gevonden voor leven op Mars, toont dit onderzoek duidelijk aan dat de mogelijkheid overwogen moet worden,” zegt astrobioloog Chris McKay van NASA’s Ames Research Center in Californië.

Implicaties

“We kunnen leven op Mars niet uitsluiten,” voegde hij toe. “Dit heeft implicaties voor toekomstige bemande missies naar Mars.”

De Viking 1 kwam op 19 juni 1976 in een baan om Mars en koppelde op 20 juli 1976 los om af te dalen naar het oppervlak. Op 7 augustus 1976 was voor de Viking 2 het moment dat een baan om Mars werd bereikt.

Het voornaamste doel van de landers was om te onderzoeken of er leven op Mars voorkwam. Volgens Levin en Straat is de kans erg groot dat dat ook daadwerkelijk gevonden is.

VIDEO: Mysterieuze raketvormige UFO gespot op Apollo-foto

Er is een filmpje opgedoken over een Apollo-foto die volgens complottheoretici een UFO op de maan laat zien. De foto, die in 1969 is gemaakt, toont een raketvormig object dat een spoor lijkt achter te laten.

De foto zou zijn gemaakt tijdens de Apollo 11-missie. Het YouTube-kanaal Paranormal Crucible schrijft onder de video: “Bizarre afbeelding uit het Apollo-archief die een raketachtige UFO op de maan lijkt te tonen.”

“Is het mogelijk dat NASA buitenaardse installaties op het maanoppervlak bombardeert met geavanceerde schepen die onderdeel vormen van het geheime ruimteprogramma?”

Doelwit

“Erg vreemd object,” aldus Paranormal Crucible. “Ben er niet van overtuigd dat het een buitenaards schip is. Het lijkt eerder iets te zijn dat wij hebben gelanceerd. Maar wie of wat is het doelwit en waarom?”

Schrijver Nigel Watson vertelde aan MailOnline: “Het belangrijkste probleem is dat we in dit geval niets weten over de schaal. We zouden hetzelfde gebied op verschillende momenten moeten bekijken om te achterhalen of het een optische illusie is die wordt veroorzaakt door een combinatie van geografische eigenschappen en de zon.”

Niet duidelijk

Apollo 11 was de missie die in juli 1969 voor het eerst mensen op de maan zette. De bemanning bestond uit Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin en Michael Collins.

Op het maanoppervlak werden diverse foto’s gemaakt, hoewel het niet duidelijk is of de foto in de video van de NASA is.

Theoloog: “Het Vaticaan ontvangt veel informatie over buitenaardsen en hun contacten met mensen”

Enkele dagen geleden verscheen op deze site een artikel over e-mails die door de Amerikaanse astronaut dr. Edgar Mitchell waren verstuurd aan John Podesta, de campagnemanager van Hillary Clinton, over buitenaards leven.

In één van de e-mails verwijst de zesde man op de maan naar het Vaticaan. Mitchell, die begin dit jaar overleed, schreef dat het Vaticaan op de hoogte is van het bestaan van buitenaardse intelligenties. In de afgelopen jaren heeft de Heilige Stoel een belangrijke rol gespeeld in het debat over buitenaards leven.

Neem bijvoorbeeld monseigneur Corrado Balducci (1923-2008). Deze theoloog van het Vaticaan zei: “Buitenaards contact is een echt fenomeen. Het Vaticaan ontvangt veel informatie over buitenaardsen en hun contacten met mensen via haar ambassades in verschillende landen, waaronder Mexico, Chili en Venezuela.”

Ziel

Astronoom van het Vaticaan Guy Consolmagno zei in 2010 dat aliens die gedoopt willen worden door de kerk niet geweigerd mogen worden omdat ‘elke entiteit, ongeacht hoeveel tentakels het heeft, ook een ziel heeft’.

José Gabriel Funes van het Vaticaanse ruimteobservatorium zei: “Het is waarschijnlijk dat er buitenaards leven is en misschien zijn er zelfs ook intelligente wezens.” Hij verklaart al jaren dat de leer van de katholieke kerk niet haaks staat op de mogelijkheid van buitenaards leven.

Buitenaardse broeder

“Als we sommige aardse wezens als ‘broeders’ en ‘zusters’ beschouwen, waarom kunnen we dan ook niet spreken van een ‘buitenaardse broeder’?” zei Funes.

In veel gevallen bevestigt religie het bestaan van leven buiten de aarde. Het sikhisme stelt bijvoorbeeld dat God leven niet heeft beperkt tot onze planeet. Volgens de islam creëerde God ook andere planeten waar het wemelt van leven. De islam spreekt ook van Djinn, multidimensionale wezens die goed of slecht kunnen zijn. En zo zijn er nog veel meer voorbeelden.

Ligt er een enorme kristallen piramide onder de Bermudadriehoek?

De Bermudadriehoek speelt al decennia tot de verbeelding na een aantal mysterieuze verdwijningen in het gebied tussen Miami, Puerto Rico en de Bermuda-eilanden. Complottheoretici zijn ervan overtuigd dat er een verklaring is voor de vele vermiste vliegtuigen en schepen in de regio, schrijft de Daily Mail.

Een ‘wetenschapper’ met de naam Meyer Verlag zou een kristallen piramide ontdekt hebben op zo’n 2000 meter onder de zeespiegel. In 2012 zou de oceanoloog op een persconferentie op de Bahama’s de coördinaten van de mysterieuze piramide hebben gegeven.

Gigantisch bouwwerk

Verlag zou het bouwwerk ontdekt hebben door gebruik te maken van nieuwe technologische hulpmiddelen. Velen zijn ervan overtuigd dat de piramide verantwoordelijk is voor de verdwijning van de vele vliegtuigen en schepen in de Bermurdadriehoek.

Het ging volgens Verlag om een gigantisch bouwwerk, tot drie keer de omvang van de Grote Piramide van Gizeh. Het verhaal werd gretig overgenomen door lokale media en diverse websites, waaronder Health Care Above All.

Internetverhaal

Er is op het internet alleen niets te vinden over dr. Meyer Verlag. De coördinaten van het bouwsel zijn evenmin terug te vinden.

Schrijver Nigel Watson zei: “Piramides hebben altijd iets mystieks. Net als bij de meeste andere claims moeten we dieper graven en uitzoeken of een dergelijk gebouw echt bestaat en of het is te linken aan verdwijningen in de Bermudadriehoek. Op dit moment lijkt het te gaan om een internetverhaal dat slim in elkaar gedraaid is en inspeelt op drie mysteries die in de jaren zeventig populair werden, namelijk piramidologie, kristallen en de Bermudadriehoek.”

UFO boven Washington leidt tot speculatie over buitenaardse bases in Amerika

Een foto die een Amerikaanse toerist heeft gemaakt van een mysterieuze UFO in Washington, heeft geleid tot speculatie over buitenaardse bases op onze planeet. Dat meldt het Russische staatspersbureau Sputnik.

De foto van een ‘ruimteschip’ boven Glacier Peak, één van de meest afgelegen bergen in de VS, werd op 5 oktober opgestuurd naar het Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). De maker van de foto, die liever anoniem wil blijven, zei dat hij het ‘buitenaardse ruimteschip’ op 9 september vastlegde toen hij met zijn oom aan het wandelen was in Glacier Peak Wilderness.

Ondergrondse basis

De twee mannen, die het gebied rond een oude kolenmijn wilden verkennen, zagen de vliegende schotel echter niet met hun eigen ogen. Ze ontdekten de UFO later pas toen ze de foto’s bekeken die ze tijdens hun reis hadden gemaakt. Op één van de foto’s is volgens de getuigen boven de bergtop een ruimteschip te zien.

Volgens Scott C. Waring van de site UFO Sightings Daily verscheen de vliegende schotel uit het niets boven de bergen. Hij denkt dat Glacier Peak mogelijk een ondergrondse basis herbergt die wordt gebruikt door buitenaardsen.

Himalaya

Er wordt ook gespeculeerd dat in het reservaat van de Jicarilla Apache in New Mexico, net buiten Dulce, en in de supervulkaan in Yellowstone National Park buitenaardse bases verscholen liggen. De basis bij Dulce zou in de buurt liggen van het Los Alamos National Laboratory, waar de CIA geheime programma’s met betrekking tot aliens zou uitvoeren.

UFO-jagers ontdekten eerder al een ‘buitenaardse basis’ in de Himalaya. Ze zeiden dat het bestaan van de basis verborgen wordt gehouden, aangezien de locatie van de basis wordt gecensureerd op Google Maps.

Erich von Däniken: “Aliens houden ons in de gaten en komen binnen 20 jaar naar de aarde”

Aliens houden ons in de gaten en brengen mogelijk binnen nu en 20 jaar een bezoek aan de aarde. Dat stelt Erich von Däniken, schrijver van de bestseller Waren de goden kosmonauten?

Het boek van de 82-jarige Von Däniken leidde na publicatie in 1968 tot controverse. Vandaag de dag is er echter nog meer bewijs voor zijn theorie dan in de jaren zestig, aldus de schrijver, die inmiddels 75 miljoen boeken heeft verkocht.

Als ze verschijnen, zal dat op tv of in een voetbalstadion zijn, zo denkt hij. “Ik denk dat we op dit moment in de gaten worden gehouden,” zei hij in een interview met The Sun naar aanleiding van de 50e verjaardag van zijn boek. “Ik heb gesprekken gehad met zeer intelligente mensen, die te horen hebben gekregen dat UFO’s echt bestaan en dat de situatie hier op aarde nauwgezet wordt gevolgd.”

“Ik geloof dat hier in de komende 20 jaar een aantal buitenaardsen zal verschijnen, misschien op televisie of in een voetbalstadion,” ging hij verder. “Graancirkels laten zien dat iemand al probeert contact met ons op te nemen zonder een schok teweeg te brengen.”

“Ik denk dat buitenaardsen zullen terugkeren naar de aarde,” zei Von Däniken. “We moeten dat in overweging nemen zodat we niet geschokt zullen zijn. Het zal goed zijn voor de mensheid. We zullen leren om in vrede met elkaar samen te leven.”

Hij vervolgde: “Wij mensen hebben een psychologisch probleem. We zien aardbewoners als het allerbelangrijkste in het universum. We willen het bestaan van buitenaardsen niet accepteren omdat ze een einde zullen maken aan onze uniekheid. En daarom proberen we te ontkennen dat ze bestaan.”

Voorouders

Volgens de schrijver waren buitenaardsen al eerder hier en hebben ze onze voorouders beloofd te zullen terugkeren. In het boek Waren de goden kosmonauten? – waar de Hollywoodfilim Prometheus op is gebaseerd – speculeert Von Däniken dat bouwwerken zoals Stonehenge en de piramides zijn achtergelaten door aliens die duizenden jaren geleden de aarde bezochten.

Hij zegt dat hij inmiddels door vele experts wordt gesteund, ook omdat er steeds meer nieuwe informatie naar buiten komt over ons universum.

Zanger Blink-182 mailde met campagnemanager Hillary Clinton over contact met aliens

De campagnemanager van Hillary Clinton heeft begin dit jaar een e-mail ontvangen over het beroemde Roswellincident. De e-mail, waarin staat waar de vliegende schotel na de crash naartoe zou zijn gebracht, is vrijgegeven door klokkenluiderssite WikiLeaks.

De e-mail is door oud-frontman van rockband Blink-182 Tom DeLonge verstuurd aan John Podesta, die tot voor kort nog topadviseur van president Obama was. DeLonge geeft aan dat een gepensioneerde generaal-majoor van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht mogelijk op het punt staat een boekje open te doen over het incident.

Eerder gaf WikiLeaks al twee e-mails vrij die DeLonge afgelopen jaar aan Podesta stuurde. In één van de e-mails schrijft hij al geruime tijd contact te hebben met een ingewijde die werkzaam was ‘op de plek waar de resten van de UFO-crash bij Roswell naartoe werden gebracht en tot voor kort werden bewaard’.

Lichamen van buitenaardsen

In de meest recente e-mail schrijft hij dat hij samen met ene generaal McCasland het mysterie rond Roswell probeert te ontrafelen. In juli 1947 kondigde het Amerikaanse leger in een persbericht aan de resten van een gecrashte vliegende schotel te hebben gevonden in de woestijn bij Roswell. Een dag na het bericht werd gezegd dat het ging om een beschadigde weerballon van de luchtmacht.

Getuigen zeiden later dat er lichamen van buitenaardsen in het gecrashte vaartuig hadden gezeten. Er is al vaak geclaimd dat ze worden bewaard op een topgeheime legerbasis in Nevada, te weten Area 51.

“Toen het object bij Roswell crashte, werd het naar het laboratorium op Wright-Patterson Air Force Base verscheept,” schreef DeLonge. “Generaal McCasland had tot voor kort de leiding over dat laboratorium.”

‘Heel goed op de hoogte’

“Ik werk al vier maanden met hem samen en heb hem enkele weken terug een vier uur durende presentatie laten zien over het hele project,” ging hij verder. “Hij is heel goed op de hoogte van alles, aangezien hij de leiding had.”

“Hij weet niet alleen wat ik probeer te bereiken, hij heeft me ook geholpen mijn adviseursteam samen te stellen,” aldus DeLonge. “Hij is een hele belangrijke man.”

Op Wright-Patterson bevindt zich het Air Force Laboratory, dat onder meer wordt gebruikt om militaire technologieën te ontwikkelen. Gedacht wordt dat DeLonge verwijst naar generaal-majoor William McCasland, die tot zijn pensioen in oktober 2013 de leiding had over het Air Force Research Laboratory op de basis.

This is why Britain’s “last” secret UFO-files are still held back

Recently, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD), in cooperation with The National Archives (TNA), explained that the release of 18 still closed UFO-files of the MoD will not happen before early 2017. Now, Grenzwissenschaft-Aktuell (GreWi), the German news-blog on frontier science and the paranormal, has discovered why the release of these files needs more time. The reply gives an interesting insight into the release process, and at the same time, it allows new speculation about the reason why those files were, and are, still held back.

Background

Contrary to its claim in 2013 that all of its formerly classified UFO-files were released to the public via the National Archives, in 2014 the MoD had to admit that 18 UFO-files were held back. The release of these files was initially set for 2015, but the date was delayed to early 2016, then to the summer of 2016, and then delayed again to August. In August, it was said that the release was yet again rescheduled, and that the files would not be published before early 2017.

GreWi-editor Andreas Müller contacted the National Archives by E-Mail and just received the following explanation:

Dear Andreas Muller,

Thank you for contacting the Information Management Department at The National Archives of the United Kingdom regarding the release of UFO files.

The National Archives and the Ministry of Defence had agreed a timetable for the release of these records which would have made the records available for the public at TNA this autumn. Unfortunately, following the transfer of files to TNA in June, additional information which is covered by FOI exemption was identified, resulting in the files being returned to MoD in August.

This has delayed the release of these files. MOD are now ensuring that all information that is covered by an exemption is identified (refer to step 3 – Sensitivity reviews of selected records – of the gateway process). The Advisory Council on National Records and Archives will then need to consider any applications relating to newly identified exemptions. Its next meeting is taking place on the 10th of November. The files will then have to go through step 4 (Cataloguing and preparation of records), 5 (Planning and arranging delivery of records) and 6 (Accessioning the records) of the gateway process. It is anticipated that these records therefore won’t be available until early 2017.

I sincerely apologise for these records not being available to be viewed as anticipated.

I hope this sufficiently answers your question. If you would like an update in early 2017 please email us and we will be happy to provide you with any progress on these records.

Regards,

Information Management Department

Tel: +44 (0) 020 8876 3444

In short: While preparing the files for public release, the National Archives identified some information within those files that they judged to be of such a sensitive nature that it seemed to qualify for an exemption from the Freedom of Information Act rules. Therefore they did send the files back to the MoD for a re-examination of that content to decide whether it can be made public or to be held back.

The public release of 18 secret UFO-files from the British Ministry of Defence via the National Archives is still in progress (Ilu.).

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 Control Low Flying UFOs,“ as well as so-called “ADGE UFO Reports,“ which experts assume are UFO related documents from a radar unit called the UK Air Defence Ground Environment (UKADGE)..

Some observers even anticipate that parts of the files will include new information about the so-called Rendlesham Forest Incident, when in December 1980 staff of the military RAF-bases Bentwaters and Woodbridge (used at the time by the U.S. Air Force) allegedly observed the landing of an unidentified flying object at close range.

– If you want to ponder what kind of content and information could be the reason behind the extended delay of Britain’s last secret UFO-files, here is a link to a list of all possible exemptions from the British Freedom of Information Act.

Wisconsin witness videotapes hovering UFO

A Wisconsin witness at Milwaukee reported watching and videotaping a hovering object with red, white and blue lights, according to testimony in Case 79222 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

Four total witnesses were sitting outside on a front porch when the object was first noticed at 9:30 p.m. on September 16, 2016.

“Our friend David saw the craft first and brought it to our attention,” the reporting witness stated. “The craft hovered for a minute or two and then it moved around a bit, stopping and hovering at random.”

The witness noticed colored lights on the object.

“We saw red, white, and blue lights while the craft was both moving and hovering. The lights flashed sequentially in the order of red, blue, and white. It continued to move and hover for a few minutes as the lights continued to flash the entire time. The craft hovered for a bit before it flew off and we could no longer see it.”

One of the witnesses noticed another object.

“A few minutes later our roommate Katelyn saw an object creating a white strip in the sky. As it passed over the moon the object appeared black. The object appeared to be moving east/northeast from high atmosphere to lower altitude out of sight heading toward the beach/lake in the same place other objects have disappeared to.”

The witness provided three video uploads with the MUFON report, which was filed on September 17, 2016. Wisconsin MUFON State Director Susan Birtttnen investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.

“The witness and three other adults witnessed a triangular-shaped object flying in a direction coming from Lake Michigan,” Birttnen stated in her report. “The Lake is about eight blocks from their location. The object had three red lights on the bottom with somewhite and blue lights running along its sides. The following evening, September 16, 2016, at 9:30 p.m. thesame or similar object returned to almost the same place in the sky and exhibited flightcharacteristics the same as the first sighting.”

Birttnen provided more details in her report: “The surface of the object was dull. The size was unknown. The light characteristics were flashing sequentially. The elevation was unknown. The lowest altitude was over 500 feet and the distance was 501 feet to 1 mile. The flight path was from the southwest to the northeast. The object would fly and hover, then fly to a different direction and hover. It would move around randomly and hover and then flew out of sight toward the northeast at rapidly increased speed.”

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.

UFO observed and caught on radar at Royal Air Force Base

In early December, 2008, I received an email from a gentleman by the name of Malcolm Williams. Mr. Williams had been a career officer in the Royal Air Force (RAF) and his rank was Flight Lieutenant. Like a lot of professional people the very first line of Mr. William’s email was very familiar to me:

Firstly I must stress that I am one of the world’s biggest sceptics when it comes to UFO’s, however I can offer no realistic explanation for what I saw, therefore it was literally an unidentified flying object.

After exchanging pleasantries via email, I obtained Flt Lt. William’s telephone number and conducted a telephone interview with him in mid December, 2008. Malcolm Williams is going on the record here for the very first time, and he related to me an event that he witnessed on RAF radar while on duty at RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire, England just before Christmas in either 1994 or 1995.

I was working in Air Traffic Control at RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire on a night shift. I can’t remember the exact date but it was just before Christmas in either 1994 or 1995. I was the approach controller and supervisor of the shift. At that time I had almost 20 years experience working on radar and was very used to analysing the quirks that radar can sometimes produce, such as bird activity, anaprop (atmospheric variation) and MTI suppression (Moving Target Indicator).

On the night in question, Williams was guiding two C130 Hercules aircraft who were approximately 3 miles from touch down. All of a sudden, Williams observed a very large ‘blob’ on the radar screen. Not knowing what it was, he contacted the pilots of the two Hercules aircraft and fed them around this target. The ‘blob’ seemed to be stationary. Williams passed control of the inbound aircraft to a colleague and went upstairs to the visual control room. The room where he had been based had no windows, so he wanted to see if he could obtain a visual sighting of this radar target. Williams could not see anything but another radar called the DFTI (Distance from Touchdown Indicator) located in the visual control room. It also had this blob on its screen. Williams asked the visual controller if he had any idea what the target was and he replied that he also didn’t know what it was. Williams returned to the radar room and the blob was still on the radar screen. He used the usual suppressors to try and eliminate it, but all to no effect. After puzzling what this image might be for a while, he decided that it must be a technical problem with the radar, but after checking, it all seemed to be functioning correctly.

Things took a decidedly different course when the radar blob on the screen suddenly seemed to ‘burst’ and shoot off at tremendous speed in all directions. Williams had never seen anything like it and had never seen anything move so fast in all his life. There was a brief discussion with a colleague, but they had no idea what it was. The visual controller witnessed the same on the DFTI. Not long after this, Williams had a telephone call from a very agitated airman who was on guard duty on the base.

Sir I have not been drinking, I am on guard duty and have just seen something that was very strange, but can’t explain, but thought that Air Traffic should be informed of.

The airman informed Williams that he had seen a bright light in the east and that it had burst and shot off in all directions at speeds he could not believe. He said he had never seen anything travel so fast and it was definitely not an aircraft. Williams informed the airman that he knew he hadn’t been drinking as he had seen the very same thing on radar. Several minutes later, another airman on guard duty, on the perimeter of the base, also telephoned Williams and reported the same thing. Williams recalls that this made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He had been willing to pass the whole episode off as some kind of technical fault with the radar, but now it was obvious that this was not the case.

Williams logged the details and telephoned the Ministry of Defence. He reported the incident accordingly. The chap he spoke to at the MoD stated that usually they can explain most sightings, but they took it seriously when someone of his military standing and experience report such things. Williams followed this up with a written report that was sent to the MoD in London. Apart from discussing the event with a couple of colleagues and his wife, he had not really discussed it until now. He was prompted to do so by Wing Commander Alan Turner who had previously reported a UFO sighting on radar to me in 2006.

In total, Williams spent 31 years in the Royal Air Force working in Air Traffic Control. In my interview with him in December 2008, he told me that the MoD had never requested the radar tapes of the incident and he received no communication from them after submitting his written report.

The events that night have remained in the back of his mind and it has always been a puzzle to him. Williams knows full well what this radar target wasn’t. It wasn’t birds, atmospherics or anything else. It remains a complete mystery to him and that, to him, is an unidentified flying object.

This is the first time that Williams has spoken about these events in public and I have recently obtained documents concerning this incident via the National Archives in the UK. These documents are published here for the first time and relate to the observations made at the time by the security guards at RAF Lyneham. All I can say is that people like Williams should not be ignored and this radar visual UFO sighting is yet another addition to the list of very experienced military officers who have gone on the record to report something that totally mystifies them. It is yet another addition to the wealth of documentation that, despite the best efforts of the debunkers, confirms that there are UFOs.

Cheshire UFO witness says UFO not a balloon

Cheshire UFO witness says UFO not a balloon

A British witness at Macclesfield reported watching and videotaping an odd-shaped object “floating in the air” near his home, according to testimony in Case 79264 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was standing in his kitchen waiting to be picked up by a friend when the object was first noticed on August 25, 2016.

“I noticed a black object floating up in the air,” the witness stated.“Being into UFOs, I quickly grabbed my phone and recorded it. At the time I considered it could be a balloon and I was also quite late already, which is why I didn’t film for any longer. It was only when I got home and zoomed in on the video that I realized what a strange shape it was.”

“I have watched hundreds of thousands of UFO videos and I honestly feel this may be one of the clearest, hardest to dismiss cases ever. It also seemed that the object was changing shape and structure rapidly, between frames. I do not believe this shape matches anything else ever seen or recorded. I also have screenshots that seem to show this object detach part of itself during flight. Please let me know what you think.”

The witness saw the object from his home in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England.

Astronomers find 234 possible intelligent signals from sun-like stars

Canadian astrophysicists have discovered 234 cases of what they call “peculiar periodic spectral modulations in a small fraction of solar type stars,“ which translates as variations in the light-pattern of 234 stars more or less similar to our own sun. Even after examining a wide range of possible technical and astrophysical explanations, the scientists are left with the hypothesis, even if still speculative in nature, that the signals are caused by light pulses generated by Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI) to makes us aware of their existence.

Prof. Ermanno F. Borra (Credit: ulaval.ca)

As Prof. Ermanno F. Borra and Eric Trottier of the Université Laval in Québec report in a preprint-paper viaArXiv.org, their new discoveries match exactly with a modulated signal that Prof. Borra described and simulated already in a paper published in 2012. In that paper, he described how intelligent signals could be hidden but also discovered in already available data-sets of sky surveys.

As Prof. Borra explains to Grenzwissenschaft-Aktuell.de (GreWi): “The paper discusses the results of an analysis of 2.5 million spectra of astronomical objects. A spectrum gives, in great details, the measurement of the intensity of light as a function of color.”

This work was carried out to detect periodic signals in their spectra generated by Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI). The periodic signal predicted in a previous scientific publication was found in only 234 stars that are overwhelmingly similar to the sun (but neither in galaxies nor quasars).

A detailed statistical analysis in the paper definitely shows that the signals cannot be caused by instrumental or data analysis effects. Several other possible physical causes of the signals are also considered, but quantitative analyses show that they cannot generate the signals.

Because the detected signals have exactly the shape of an ETI signal predicted in a scientific publication (2012), they are therefore in agreement with the ETI hypothesis. The ETI hypothesis is strengthened by the fact that the signals were detected in only a small fraction of stars that have spectral types (colors) in a narrow spectral range centered on the spectral type of the sun. On the other hand, the ETI hypothesis is so peculiar that, at this stage, it cannot be accepted as certain. It absolutely has to be confirmed, or denied, by more observations.

According to the authors, so far the only other explanation, alternatively to the ETI-hypothesis, is the idea that “the signals are due to highly peculiar chemical compositions in a small fraction of galactic halo stars.”

Beside the fact that Borra and Trottier could not find a technical or astrophysical explanation for the discovered signals, the signals also match exactly with the one suggested, and simulated, by Borra in 2012 when he suggested to look for exactly that kind of signals hidden in already available data of large sky surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).

In 2012 Prof. Borra simulated an initially invisibly modulated spectrum of a star (l.) in which an embedded signal becomes recognizable after a fourir transform analysis (r.).

In 2012, Prof. Borra simulated an initially invisibly modulated spectrum of a star (l.) in which an embedded signal becomes recognizable after a fourir transform analysis (r.).

Such strong light signals could be sent, for example, with powerful lasers that get modulated in such a way that they get embedded in the light spectrum of a star as a pattern that could very well be discovered and recognized as such by an intelligent observer.

They continue, “The ETI hypothesis requires that all different ETI transmitters choose to broadcast with the same time separation of pulses and one may wonder why they do so. This is a highly speculative issue that may have several explanations. A possible explanation that makes sense is that all ETI use the same time separation to make it clear that the pulses all come from ETI.“

Concluding their paper, Borra and Trottier emphasize that at this stage, the ETI generation of the spectral modulation is still a hypothesis that needs to be confirmed with further work.

They suggest that this can be done by repeatedly observing the described stars with photoelectric detectors capable of detecting very rapid intensity signals.

“However ETI may not necessarily send us pulses at all times so that a lack of detections in some stars may not necessarily signify that ETI does not exist: The reason why ETI may not send pulses at all times may simply come from the fact that the signals must be sent to a very large number of stars so that too much energy would be required to send pulses to all stars at all times.“

According to Borra, he has already contacted SETI-astronomers who seemed very interested to do a follow-up.

Borra says, “Now I am waiting for the other astronomers actions and help them.“

Hillary’s campaign manager’s leaked UFO emails

Hillary campaign manager held UFO meeting with USAF generals, rock star and top secret aircraft developer

The recent WikiLeaks of Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta’s, emails have upset and embarrassed her campaign. It has also brought media focus on Podesta’s interest in UFOs, and one of the most intriguing string of emails reveals a Google Hangout meeting that took place between rocker Tom DeLonge, a couple of USAF generals, and an executive of Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works division. Skunk Works is the group that worked with the CIA to build Area 51, and still develops advance, top-secret, air craft there to this day.

Although this meeting sounds incredible, most of the media has been focused on other UFO emails in the Podesta WikiLeaks. In particular, emails from former astronaut Edgar Mitchell. People interested in the topic of UFOs are familiar with Mitchell’s interests in the subject. He often talked about growing up in Roswell, New Mexico and believing the locals who told him they were around when an alien spacecraft crashed in the desert outside of town in 1947.

Mitchell’s interests included other fringe ideas about extraterrestrials, so it came as no surprise to many when emails were found in the WikiLeaks Podesta files requesting a meeting between Podesta and Mitchell. As we have written about – many times – Podesta is also known for his UFO interests. Podeta’s interests seem to be centered around credible investigation. He often uses the term Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), instead of the term UFO. UAP is a term used by scientists and other serious researchers who seek to distance their work from the more fringe elements.

According to Yahoo! News, a friend of Mitchell’s and the people who sent Podesta the invitation on his behalf, says the meeting never took place.

However, a more interesting – some may argue – meeting did take place. This meeting seems to have been initiated by Tom DeLonge, the former front man of the wildly popular rock band, Blink-182. He is the former front man because it seems his interests in UFOs became more important to him than the band and he left it to delve into the UFO mystery.

DeLonge told the Rolling Stone of the breakup, “I couldn’t tell the band I was working with people in the government.”

It appears John Podesta was one of the people in the government DeLonge was working with. Again, this is actually no surprise to those of us in the UFO field. In fact, as DeLonge began to ramp up his UFO projects, he posted about his upcoming media projects. He even absconded a couple of the employees here atOpenMinds.tv to help start a short lived paranormal blog. Other projects include a comic book, a novel and a yet to be released documentary.

Much of the shooting for the documentary appears to have been done in January, 2015. DeLonge posted photos of the shooting locations, including a photograph of an interview with Podesta. The caption in thephoto reads: “Yes, the President and I discussed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena…” We assume that is a quote from Podestsa. However, since the documentary has not been released, we are not sure what else Podesta might have said.

This is where the WikiLeak emails come in. The first email in the recent WikiLeaks dump between Podesta and DeLonge is one from DeLonge updating Podesta on his UFO projects. It’s dated October 26, 2015.

The email reads:

Hi John-

Tom DeLonge here, The one who interviewed you for that special documentary not to long ago.

Things are moving with the project. The Novels, Films and NonFiction works are blooming and finishing. Just had a preliminary meeting with Spielberg’s Chief Operating Officer at DreamWorks. More meetings are now on the books-

I would like to bring two very “important” people out to meet you in DC. I think you will find them very interesting, as they were principal leadership relating to our sensitive topic. Both were in charge of most fragile divisions, as it relates to Classified Science and DOD topics. Other words, these are A-Level officials. Worth our time, and as well the investment to bring all the way out to you. I just need 2 hours from you.

Just looking to have a casual, and private conversation in person.

–Here are some photos from the material I am using as I meet with Studio Partners.

Best,

Tom DeLonge

The photos are not included.

This is where some of the intrigue begins. Who are these high level officials, and what are they telling DeLonge about UFOs?

In the Rolling Stone interview referred to earlier, DeLonge says, “I have 10 people that I’m working with that are at the highest levels of the Department of Defense and NASA and the military.”

The Rolling Stone also claims, in their interview, that DeLonge’s recently published novel, co-authored with A.J. Hartley, Sekret Machines Book 1: Chasing Shadows, “theorizes that alien technology not only exists, but that the government has known about it for decades and has even replicated some of it.”

“Though fictional, it’s written with information DeLonge says he gleaned from ‘sources within the aerospace industry and the Department of Defense and NASA,’” according to Rolling Stone. “Then he adds, ‘That sentence, specifically, was approved for me to say.’”

DeLonge has been on the famous late-night paranormal talk show Coast to Coast AM, claiming to have incredible insider information about government UFO secrets, but, he has not let us in on who these people are. Many in the UFO field, including myself, were afraid he had fallen victim to the numerous charlatans claiming to have insider information.

One clue to the legitimacy of his sources is a review for his book on the Amazon.com listing. It is from retired USAF Major General Michael Carey. According to his USAF bio, Carey was the Special Assistant to the Commander, Air Force Space Command, Peterson Air Force Base, which is also the home of NORAD. Petersen is at the base of the famous Cheyenne Mountain.

Carey writes:

Sekret Machines scratches at the surface of “who do” we trust with our classified technology – certainly our adversaries are aware of our undertakings, as they are doing the same, but what of our citizens, our politicians, even our own military. Tom DeLonge and A.J. Hartley create a convincing narrative describing the “cat and mouse” game that is timeless between strategic adversaries. It has existed under the sea, on the surface of the earth and in its skies, why wouldn’t we believe it occurs in space. Our military leaders have been saying space is a contested environment for years now, perhaps we should believe them!

Michael Carey (Credit: USAF)

Nothing too shocking there, and nothing indicating Carey has an interest in UFOs. But this was our first indication that DeLonge has at least been in contact with a real high-level government official.

The second email to Podesta from DeLonge in the WikiLeaks dump is dated November 16, 2015. This one is actually an email forwarded to Podesta from a special assistant to Hillary’s campaign, Milia Fisher. It is an email written to her and another aide from DeLonge. In it, DeLonge is again asking to meet with Podesta and says he would like to bring along someone important. He also suggests Steven Spielberg – another UFO enthusiast – would like to also attend.

The email reads:

I created this teaser as a way to open conversations and excite Spielberg’s people. It worked. I just left my meeting at DreamWorks, and they are very, very interested.

On another note, I have somebody important that is willing to fly out and meet with Mr. Podesta. A member of my Committee. I am awaiting a time in January that might work for Mr. Podesta. My goal is for Spielberg to be there, too. And if not him, somebody of his stature. Please show Mr. Podesta this private teaser. Let him know that I am spending all afternoon interviewing a scientist that worked on a spacecraft at Area 51 tomorrow.

Best,

Tom DeLonge

We have no indication that either of these two emails actually resulted in a meeting. However, it appears DeLonge finally did get a meeting in January of 2016.

In an email dated January 24, 2016, a man identifying himself as Neil McC, sent an email to Podesta and a group of people who appear to have been invited to a meeting via Google Hangout. Neil’s email was to clarify the time of the meeting which was to be held the following morning. Listed as attendees were Tom DeLonge, Neil, Fisher, Podesta, a man named Rob Weiss and Carey (the former Major General who wrote the review for DeLonge’s book).

From this email we can tell that Podesta setup the meeting, and the other attendees are quite fascinating. Rob Weiss can be found on LinkedIn using the email in the WikiLeaks. There, his job title is listed as Executive Vice President & General Manager Advanced Development Programs (Skunk Works) at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. Skunk Works is the group that built Area 51 at the behest of the CIA, and for decades has worked on developing top-secret advanced aircraft.

Another WikiLeaks emails helps us confirm who Neil McC is. In an email also dated January 24, 2016, a woman named Susan McCasland Wilkerson accepts a request to the meeting. She can be found onFacebook, and is the wife of Major General William N. McCasland. His middle name is Neil, which, according to his Facebook page, is the name he apparently goes by. According to his USAF bio, he is the commander of the U.S. Air Force’s research laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Wright-Patterson AFB has a rich history in UFO folklore as it was the home of the Air Force’s official UFO investigations from 1947 to 1970.

Whoa! Right? DeLonge is getting a meeting with the head of a research lab famous for UFO research, a man who worked for the head of Air Force Space Command, a man who is in charge of the people who run Area 51, and the campaign manager of the person who is, apparently, as of today, likely to be the next president of the United States.

Remember, DeLonge claims to have insider information that the government knows about, and has back engineered, alien technology.

We do not know for sure what was discussed in that meeting, yet. We also do not know for sure who attended. However, one last email indicates that the meeting did take place, and at least Podesta, DeLonge and McCasland were present.

This email is dated January 25, 2016, the day of the meeting. The timestamp is 16:04 in the afternoon, indicating that the email was sent after the meeting. The content of the email shows that DeLonge seemed a little disappointed about McCalsand’s contribution to the meeting.

DeLonge wrote to Podesta:

He mentioned he’s a “skeptic”, he’s not. I’ve been working with him for four months. I just got done giving him a four hour presentation on the entire project a few weeks ago.

Trust me, the advice is already been happening on how to do all this. He just has to say that out loud, but he is very, very aware- as he was in charge of all of the stuff. When Roswell crashed, they shipped it to the laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. General McCasland was in charge of that exact laboratory up to a couple years ago.

He not only knows what I’m trying to achieve, he helped assemble my advisory team. He’s a very important man.

Best,

Tom DeLonge

Although Delonge is implying he was disappointed with what McCasland shared in the meeting, what he shares here about McCasland is quite revealing. He alludes to Roswell, giving the appearance that DeLonge believes that event was significant. One might assume that DeLonge is implying he believes an alien spacecraft crashed at Roswell, but we cannot be certain given only these few words. DeLonge also implies that McCasland knows more about the Roswell incident than he is willing to share publicly. It makes one wonder, what has he told DeLonge.

Besides the Roswell thing, DeLonge does say that McCasland is aware of his interests, which we know are UFOs, aliens and the government back engineering alien technology. Despite the fringe nature of DeLonge’s interests, DeLonge clams McCasland helped him acquire advisors to look into this issue.

A man in charge of research labs at an USAF base rumored to have housed alien spaceship parts and alien bodies is helping a rock star who is trying to prove these rumors to be true? WTF?

It is a strange world my friends, and it keeps getting stranger.

The FBI has accused Russia of being the culprits behind the recent hacking of emails from members of the Democratic Party. And although there has yet to be a challenge to the authenticity to these alleged Russian hacked WikiLeaks, Podesta has said that some of the emails do not appear to be accurate. However, he says he does not have the time to go through the thousands of emails that have been released to authenticate every one.

Thus far, none of the attendees of this meeting have verified it did indeed took place. I have inquiries out, and I will let you know if I receive a response. Others are also keeping a close eye on Delonge’s and Podesta’s social media to see if they comment. I recommend you do the same, and let us know if you see something.

Personally, I commend DeLonge for his efforts. Many of us in the media who are interested in UFOs have been seeking to interview Podesta on the topic. It is great that DeLonge is doing more than just going to take a look at Area 51, or visiting Roswell. He is out there working on finding answers. Hopefully, he will share his findings with us in a non-fiction media project soon.

Royal Air Force Wing Commander recounts UFO sighting at RAF base

At the UFO DATA conference in October 2007, I met up with veteran UFO investigator David Beezer. I’ve known David for many years and he has regularly attended many of our public events. David wanted me to read a report he had received from a RAF officer, but on the day I simply did not have the time. David made me a copy of the report in question and I read it a day or two after the conference had finished.

The report came from a Mr. Alan Turner, Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE), and concerned a UFO observed on radar at Royal Air Force (RAF) base Sopley in the summer of l971. I subsequently contact Mr. Turner and have his permission to document the following. His report is published in full.

Alan Turner was aged twenty-five when he joined the Royal Air Force in l966 and was commissioned that year as an Air Traffic Control Officer. RAF Sopley was a wartime bunker, which had been converted into a joint military/civilian Air Traffic Control Radar Unit (ATCRU): it closed in l974 when both the civil and military ATC functions were transferred to West Drayton.

Alan Turner remained in the RAF eventually to command the Central ATC School from 1990 to 1992. In July 1995, he was discharged from the RAF in the rank of Wing Commander.

1982: This was taken in l982 when Alan Turner was the Senior Air Traffic Control Officer at RAF Lossiemouth. He is pictured on the right.

This is Wing Commanders Turner’s account of what he personally observed at RAF Sopley in the summer of l971 in full:

In the summer of 1971, I was the Duty Military Supervisor at RAF Sopley, which was a joint military/civil Air Traffic Control Radar Unit (ATCRU). It was a Tuesday afternoon but I cannot remember the exact date. The Duty Civil Supervisor drew my attention to a situation on radar the likes of which neither of us had ever encountered.

Emanating from a point some twenty nautical miles east of the eastern extremity of the Salisbury Plain Danger Area were a series of six or seven blips moving on a south-easterly track each being separated from the other by about six miles. At about forty miles from the point they appeared on radar they disappeared to be followed almost immediately by a replacement at the point of origin.

I put the FPS 6 Height Finder onto some returns to discover that they were about 3000 feet when they came into radar cover and climbing extremely rapidly so that, by the time they disappeared from radar, they were in excess of 60,000 feet. To climb to such a height in only forty miles was beyond the ability of any fighter aircraft at the time.

The phenomenon was witnessed by four civil and six military controllers on duty at the time. I called Heathrow Radar to discover that they, also, were seeing a similar picture. The same situation prevailed in the Fighter Control Operations Rooms at RAF Neatishead. The three units involved operated different radars from each other thus different frequencies were in use. The weather forecast from the south of England was calm and sunny. I called the Met Office to confirm the strength of the upper winds to find that they were also relatively calm and were about fifty degrees off the southeasterly track of the blips; they also confirmed that there were not Met balloons/probes airborne at the time.

The winds were not strong enough, nor in the right direction, to cause the blips to travel on their observed track, especially at the speed they were travelling. It was estimated that they were doing around 250 knots, but it must be borne in mind that this was a lateral speed as seen on radar – they must have been travelling very much faster to climb over 50,000 feet in less than forty miles. Equally the weather was such that there were no ‘angels’ to affect the radar picture. “Angels” was a euphemism for, what were believed to be, ionozed pockets of air which, under very specific atmospheric conditions, were often seen on radar screens in those days: when seen, these ‘angels’ traveled extremely slowly simply drifting along haphazard tracks. In those days all radars were ‘raw’. That is to say that, whatever was within the coverage of the radar envelope and capable of bouncing (returning) the radar pulse back to the receiver, would be seen on the radar tube. Today’s radars are computerised thus such interference is processed out so as not to affect the picture.

Looking around for some other method of checking what was going on, I discovered that a controller had two Canberras on frequency returning from Germany. One of the pilots agreed to investigate so I assumed control of his aircraft and, having confirmed he was in good visual met conditions, I vectored him on to the blips keeping him regularly updated on their position relative to the Canberra. The aircraft was flying at around nineteen thousand feel and when it got within a mile or so of one particular blip, the pilot reported, in a very agitated voice, that his radar had picked something up heading down his port side by about a quarter of a mile and ‘climbing like the clappers’, it was on a reciprocal heading to the Canberra. The pilot admitted that neither he nor his navigator made any visual contact and confirmed that the weather conditions were such that they would have had no difficultly seeing something that close.

The whole episode lasted for twenty minutes or more before the blips stopped appearing. I impounded the R/T tapes and the Radar Video film and made appropriate entries in the log. Each person in the Ops Room who witnessed the incident was required to write a report. The Squadron Leader in charge of Operations collated the reports and informed higher authority. Within a couple of days I was interviewed in the Squadron Leader’s office by two men who were not identified to me. I, along with all the others in the Ops Room on the day in question, were told in no uncertain terms not to relate what we had seen until cleared to do so. About four years later I was serving at RAF Wattisham when the Station Commander asked to see me. I was told that he had a communication from the MoD about the incident at Sopley and that as ‘nothing could be confirmed’ the situation was such that doubt would be cast on anything I said about it. I took this to mean that I was no longer to remain silent.

I am at a loss to explain what I, and many other people, saw. In those days aircraft could not climb at such a rate. To be seen on displays by three different ground radars, plus the airborne radar in the Canberra, is also a mystery. The weather conditions were very definitely VMC or Visual Met Conditions; the aircraft was clear of cloud by at least a thousand feet vertically and with a forward visibility of at least five nautical miles.

In Mr. Turner’s letter to be dated 10^th November 2007 he apologised for not remembering the exact date of the incident and believes that there are those out there that will use this to discredit his account. I’ll leave you with his final comments on the incident; “Please use the information in any way you see fit; I stand by what I saw because I know what I saw.”

Oregon witness says UFO ‘cloaked’ itself

An Oregon witness at Eugene reported watching a triangle-shaped UFO with three orange lights that eventually cloaked itself and disappeared, according to testimony in Case 79421 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness noticed that the three lights were moving in unison. Pictured: Eugene, OR.

(Credit: Google)

The witness – who is a military veteran and amateur astronomer – stepped outside at 8:15 p.m. on September 25, 2016 and noticed a triangle-shaped object over the city.

“I had just stepped out on my balcony for a smoke and sat down in my chair facing east overlooking most of northeast Eugene and north Springfield,” the witness stated. “Looking in the sky above and well beyond the neighbor’s house at the sight line of the power lines, I saw three orange lights equidistant apart and in a triangle.”

But the witness was sure that there should be no bright stars in the sky in that area that time of night and time of year.

The lights seemed to be shimmering as if the object was cloaking. Pictured: Eugene, OR.

(Credit: Google)

“As I looked closer, I saw the bottom most of the lights moving, and then I thought to myself – that makes sense. It is commercial aviation. So I looked back at the other two lights and saw they were moving together too and that it was one triangle-shaped craft rotating on its center axis. All the while I noticed the bright orange lights were shining through what looked like heat shimmer coming off the desert floor. Very much like a scene from the movie ‘Predator’where the ‘cloaking’ around it wavered for just a brief second, and when it did, I saw a large triangle-shaped craft with smooth sides and a smooth metallic bottom with a smaller, circular abutment in the center with a light bluish glow.”

The witness watched as the object appeared to stop moving.

“The craft stopped rotating and it looked like a harrier jet pulling up its nose on a vertical takeoff and then it disappeared. It did leave, but as it was leaving the ‘cloaking’ kicked back in and it disappeared from sight. Like something out of the ‘X files.’”

Two helicopters showed up in the same area once the object disappeared. Pictured: Eugene, OR.

(Credit: Google)

The witness watched as two helicopters appeared.

“Two helicopters showed up within 30 seconds of the object disappearing. Eugene is a small city and helicopters are fairly rare here with just a couple of overflights a day, but these stayed on station for the better part of an hour circling over the Eugene/Springfield area.”

Oregon MUFON State Director Tom Bowden is investigating. Eugene is the county seat of Lane County, OR, population 160,561. 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.

Hilarry’s campaign manager’s leaked UFO emails

More hacked emails from the democratic party were releases by WikiLeaks in the last few days, in particular, the emails of Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta. Podesta is a name that is often attached to the UFO issue, because he has made it no secret that he has a an interest in the topic. So it should come as no surprise that among the thousands of leaked emails, a few reference UFOs and extraterrestrials.

Although some of the emails may indicate that Podesta had some sort of communication with the senders about UFOs, most of the emails are chance references to UFOs or aliens in news headlines or individuals referencing ETs to make a point.

For example, two emails appear to be updating Podesta on recent headlines. One from November, 2015includes a news article and some headlines, one of those headlines referencing a Navy missile test that was mistaken for UFO. Another, from December, 2014, references Dennis Kunich as being a politician mostly known for claiming to have seen a UFO, a fact that was used against him during his presidential run in 2008.

Two other emails involved the idea of extraterrestrial life in emails making points. In an email discussing thedangers of nuclear terrorism, it refers to a concept several scientists have referenced regarding the ability of an intelligent civilizations to not blow itself up with their own super-weapons. The idea is that we are at a stage in which we can either blows ourselves up with nukes, or somehow figure out how to get along and continue to evolve socially and technologically.

The second email, arguing the dangers of German immigration, pokes fun at alien abductees. It states: “Germany’s Immigration Disaster Deniers have as much credibility as alien abductees spirited away in a UFO with Bigfoot at the controls.”

Of course, there are the emails from believers, some being a bit more fringe than others. The oddest one is from a man who wants Podesta and others to warn Hillary that the scientists have it all wrong when it comes to climate change. He argues that the Earth’s climate issues are due to the return of Planet X, also referred to as Nibiru. He says it comes around every 3600 years or so, and is due to pass near the earth again soon, but we cannot detect it because it’s in the Sun’s glare.

Another email, from 2015, appears to be someone representing former astronaut Edgar Mitchell, emailing Podesta in order to setup a meeting regarding Zero-point energy and government disclosure regarding extraterrestrial visitation. The email was sent by an address used by Terri Mansfield. The email mentions Terri in the third person, so some have guessed that the email was sent by Mansfield’s colleague, Suzanna Mendelssohn.

In the email, the sender mentions that Mansfield would be present during the meeting to discuss the Vatican’s awareness of extraterrestrial Intelligence. This is not too surprising given the mission listed on Mansfield website. The site states: ” We educate humans about our work with our nonviolent obedient-to-God ETI, Extraterrestrial Intelligence, from the contiguous universe whose mission is to work with our scientists to bring zero point energy here for the purpose of extending life on our fragile Earth.”

The website goes on to claim that they fundraise only with billionaires.

There is no indication whether or not Podesta scheduled this meeting, or if Mithcell had anything to do with the email. However, Mitchell was into these sorts of topics, and he often discussed his belief in extraterrestrial visitations, so it is entirely possible he asked Mansfield to send the email. Mitchell passed away in February of 2016, so he will not be able to confirm either way.

The emails I have listed so far were found by OpenMinds.tv contributor Shepherd Johnson. However, The Wall Street Journal found a few more. These were from a gentleman who was able to meet Podesta and discuss UFOs. Namely, rock star Tom DeLonge.

DeLonge is another famous UFO enthusiast. In fact, his interest in UFOs has been credited as the reason he left his uber-successful band, Blink 182. Since his split with the band, he has been working on fiction and non-fiction media projects regarding UFOs and extraterrestrials.

He has already release a book titled Sekret Machines, which he says contains some information that is based off of interviews with deep throat informants that have secret information regarding the government’s knowledge regarding UFOs. In July, 2015, DeLonge posted to his Facebook pictures of a video shoot of an interview he conducted with Podesta for a yet to be released documentary on UFOs.

It is still unknown what DeLonge and Podesta discussed, but the WikiLeaks emails give a bit more insight. In the first email, sent on October 26, 2015, DeLonge gives Podesta an update on his projects and asks for a meeting so DeLonge can introduce him to two individuals DeLonge claims are very important people.

DeLonge writes:

Things are moving with the project. The Novels, Films and NonFiction works are blooming and finishing. Just had a preliminary meeting with Spielberg’s Chief Operating Officer at DreamWorks. More meetings are now on the books-

I would like to bring two very “important” people out to meet you in DC. I think you will find them very interesting, as they were principal leadership relating to our sensitive topic. Both were in charge of most fragile divisions, as it relates to Classified Science and DOD topics. Other words, these are A-Level officials. Worth our time, and as well the investment to bring all the way out to you. I just need 2 hours from you.

The second email was sent on January 25, 2016, and is an update to Podesta regarding DeLonge’s meeting with “General McCasland.”

DeLonge writes:

He mentioned he’s a “skeptic”, he’s not. I’ve been working with him for four months. I just got done giving him a four hour presentation on the entire project a few weeks ago.

Trust me, the advice is already been happening on how to do all this. He just has to say that out loud, but he is very, very aware- as he was in charge of all of the stuff. When Roswell crashed, they shipped it to the laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. General McCasland was in charge of that exact laboratory up to a couple years ago.

He not only knows what I’m trying to achieve, he helped assemble my advisory team. He’s a very important man.

It would appear DeLonge is referring to Major General William McCasland who is the commander of the U.S. Air Force’s research laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Wright-Patterson AFB has a rich history in UFO folklore as it was the home of the Air Force’s official UFO investigations from 1947 to 1970.

Again, DeLonge’s emails were the only side that was leaked, whether or not Podesta responded is unknown. However, if DeLonge is correct, and McCasland knows something he is not sharing with the public regarding UFOs and/or Roswell, that would be very interesting indeed.

It should be mentioned that Podesta is claiming that some of his emails released by WikiLeaks are not real. He claims some of them have been changed. However, he says he is too busy to comb through all of them to identify which are real and which are not.

DeLonge has yet to comment on these emails, but you can be sure, we will be monitoring his social media.

Maryland witness describes cross-shaped UFO

A Maryland witness at Chestertown reported watching a cross-shaped object with an unusual sound crossing the sky at 500 feet, according to testimony in Case 79581 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database

The witness first thought the object was a low flying airplane. Pictured: Chestertown, MD.

(Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

The witness was standing in his living room at 8 p.m. on September 29, 2016, when a plane was noticed moving in from the west.

“I thought it was too low, about 15 degrees above the horizon and about 500 feet altitude,” the witness stated.“Went into the front yard to study.”

As the object moved closer – within a quarter mile – it began turning slightly to the right.

“As it flew over my location I noticed there were no blinking lights. No red or green lights. Only bright white lights at four points, front, left, right and back. They were equally spaced. I would guess about the distance of a single engine, fixed-wing, wing span.”

The witness said the object had four white light instead of red and green lights and a strobe. Pictured: Chestertown, MD.

(Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

Then the witness noticed unusual sound.

“It was unlike any aircraft sound I’ve heard before. It was a kind of whoosh. Its speed was constant. The things that struck me were the four white lights, no red or green lights and no belly strobe, the low flight path and the whoosh sound as it passed. There was no noticeable delay between the visual and the sound so I assume it was about 500 feet up. I could not make out a shape. It was as dark as the night sky.”

The object soon moved away.

“It flew out of sight to the southeast, blocked by trees and buildings. I stood staring at the blank sky trying to comprehend what just happened. It wasn’t until the next evening that I shared what I saw with my son and his girlfriend. I am reporting on the chance that someone else noticed this object in the sky that night. Thanks for accepting my report.”

The witness report indicates that the object shape was a cross.

Chestertown is directly east of Baltimore, MD.

Strange luminous UFO caught on security camera in England

An odd luminous orb, meandering through a neighborhood in North West England, was caught on a security video last month. The witness spoke to The Bolton News, a local newspaper, and also submitted their sighting to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).

The witnesses says they were on vacation when the incident occurred. They are unsure what caused the camera to begin recording. There was nothing in the video that appears to have been able to trigger the motion sensor.

The witness was in Chew Moor, on the outskirts of Bolton.

The witness, Diane Beard, told The Bolton News, “It couldn’t have been our cat, Alfie, as he was in the cattery while we were on holiday.”

The orb does not appear to have triggered the camera either, because it is not seen for several seconds into the video.

The witness reported to MUFON, verbatim:

We were actually on holiday away from home when we caught this ufo on our surveillance camera at home. We noticed the following morning that we had captured something strange. We cannot find anyone else at this moment in time who saw it too but to record it on video I think is very lucky. On the video it has recorded the date and time. On the video after our security light comes on and then goes off a few seconds later, above the neighbours houses but further away a light appears to the centre of the screen. This light seems to have a trail after it. We thought we were watching a meteor at first but realising it was quite big and not straight up in the sky, it would have to be pretty close to the earth if it was. Also, the light changes direction, it actually turns around and comes a little closer as it goes back to the same direction it came from. The light comes into view in the centre of the screen and moves left, when it turns around it slightly disappears behind a tree but can still be seen. When it comes back it seems to come closer and moves off to the right and in the same direction it came from. I feel as it was moving over some water to the outskirts of our village.

MUFON National Director of Great Britain Jack Turnbull investigated the case and closed it as “Insufficient Data.”

Turnbull reported that he had spoke with the witness who had been alerted of the video by the security system while on vacation in Greece on August 15.

Turnbull wrote, verbatim:

The fact that is recorded in background the UFO was purely coincidental. There is clearly shown a large bright white object that appears to be under some kind of control, changing direction while giving off a sort of trail. This cannot be classified in any way as conventional. Other than that I unable to elucidate thus its classification of I.D. INSUFFICIEBNT DATA. There were no other correlating cases.

Some have suggested the object in the video could be a bug, but it appears it goes behind the houses in the background before coming back around in front of them. Others have suggested that the video could be a hoax because it is so short, and they assume it is edited. However, if the object is not what triggered the camera to begin recording, and whatever did was gone, then the video would stop on its own. This seems to be the most likely explanation as to why the video cuts off abruptly.

So what is this mysterious orb? We dunno. Let us know what you think below.

Colorado witness spots UFO ‘blending’ into clouds

A Colorado witness at Ellicott reported watching a triangle-shaped UFO hovering between clouds overhead that looked like a “Star Wars destroyer,” according to testimony in Case 79566 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness walked outside to a yard area with his dog while light rain clouds were moving in “with a layer of puffy dark rain clouds above, but thinner whitish clouds below” at 12:18 p.m. on October 2, 2016.

“I noticed a dark gray, almost black triangle object in sky between these two layers of clouds,” the witness stated.“It stayed in the same spot as the clouds were moving below and above it in two different directions, but the triangle stayed in the same exact spot for about three minutes and then slowly faded away like the upper rain cloud had moved closer and swallowed it up.”

The witness described the object.

“The object I saw looked kind of like the shape of a ‘Star Wars’ Star Destroyer I think they are called, but with no detail of course at all on the ship – just smooth, dark, and sharp, perfect lines.”

The witness is convinced the object was not something normal.

“I know one thing, it wasn’t a plane, wasn’t a balloon, wasn’t a helicopter and wasn’t a drone. I won’t say it was a UFO, but it looked designed, big time. Interesting is after filling out forms and seeing a “power lines near” check box on MUFON form, it was in fact hovering maybe 2,000-3,000 feet above some interstate transmission lines and right near a highway and a massive chunk of cattle grazing land. If any cows are butchered out there, I sure want a steak from it!”

The object was hovering directly over power lines and a cattle grazing area.

The object appeared to be deliberately hiding itself.

“The strange thing is, it blended back into the clouds like it saw me looking at it. Like really slyly covered up by a cloud to disappear subtly. My personal belief is, alien life, if it does exist, could come from other worlds, be mistaken for demons, devils and gods, or maybe it’s our future offspring time traveling. All I know is, clouds don’t make straight edge symmetrical lines on two sides Triangles that stay for that long as clouds are moving in a breeze. And no, I am not a UFO geek and have never reported before. The truth is out there!”

Ellicott is about 30 miles east of Colorado Springs, CO.

The witness included one illustration with the MUFON report, which was filed on October 3, 2016. No images or video were included with the report. Colorado Field Investigator Jeffrey Hastings investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown. Ellicott is in El Paso County, CO, population 1,131.

‘Worm-like’ UFO photographed over Washington D.C.

‘Worm-like’ UFO photographed over Washington D.C.

A Washington D.C. witness reported watching and photographing a “worm-like” object hovering in the sky under 40 feet that could not immediately be identified, according to testimony in Case 79569 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was walking home in northwest D.C. at 11 a.m. on October 2, 2016, when the object was noticed in the sky.

“I noticed a strange object hovering in the sky, about 30-40 feet up, across the street from me, maybe a total distance of 60-70 feet between myself and the object,” the witness stated.“The object was unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”

The witness described the object.

“It was a dark, worm-like shape and it hovered in the same position for roughly three minutes while I was able to take photos. At first I thought it could have been an unusual entanglement of those narrow balloons used to make balloon animals, however, I don’t believe they could have floated in this position with helium. The object moved only slightly, despite a breeze which would have greatly moved even an anchored balloon. No wire, ribbon or any kind of string was present.”

The witness quickly lost sight of the object.

“As I ran around the corner to try and get right underneath it, I could not find it.”

Colorado UFO witness photographs ‘metallic objects’ moving overhead

A Colorado witness at Superior reported watching and photographing “five metallic-like objects” moving overhead at about 30,000 feet that could not be identified, according to testimony in Case 79398 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness stated that his wife called him outside at 4 p.m. on September 25, 2016, under a sunny, bright blue sky with no clouds, to look at a group of objects.

“She called me out to witness five metallic-like objects slowly traveling through the sky – very high, at a height above the current airline traffic – I would say more than 30,000feet,” the witness stated.“The objects seemed to fluctuate in brightness, potentially from changing its position with respect to the sun.”

The two watched the objects move across the sky for about 15 minutes.

“They moved in a northwesterly direction. Weather report at the time said that the prevailing wind in the area was easterly at 2 mph. The objects were fairly spread apart, definitely not a tight formation. After about 8 minutes, three of the objects disappeared, and two carried on. I took several pictures with my Nikon SLR, at my maximum zoom (135). For the pictures attached, I maxed out my digital zoom imaging on these photos in order to capture their shape.”

UFO KOMT TEVOORSCHIJN UIT WOLK

UFO KOMT TEVOORSCHIJN UIT WOLK

Een paar vrouwen staan op het schoolplein van een basisschool in Amerika en zien een prachtige grote zwarte wolk met de zon die erachter tevoorschijn komt.

Ze besluiten om daar een foto van te nemen, maar er blijkt meer op het beeld te staan dan alleen maar een prachtige wolk.

Op 12 oktober werd er in de Amerikaanse plaats Waco een merkwaardige foto gemaakt. De zaak is op dit moment in onderzoek bij Mufon en staat geregistreerd onder nummer 79819

Het verhaal van degene die het bekendmaakte gaat als volgt:

Ik kreeg deze foto's van een vriend van mijn moeder die op de school werkt waar onze kinderen naartoe gaan. Zij heeft toestemming gegeven om deze afbeeldingen te gebruiken omdat we graag willen weten wat het kan zijn.

Ik was zelf geen getuige van het voorval omdat het gebeurde bij de school waar de kinderen op dat moment waren.

Het was een bewolkte morgen. De vriendin en haar collega namen foto's van de zon die net boven de wolken tevoorschijn kwam en zij zagen op dat moment niets ongewoons.

Het was pas later op de dag dat ze merkten dat er vreemde dingen op de foto stonden. Beide opnames werden ongeveer op dezelfde tijd genomen.

De dame die de opname maakte, heeft het volgende gezegd:

Het voorval gebeurde op woensdag 12 oktober 2016. De foto werd rond kwart voor tien in de ochtend genomen. We stonden op de speelplaats van de Connally basisschool.

We hadden foto's genomen van de spelende kinderen en ik zag deze grote zwarte wolk. Ik vind het heerlijk om naar de wolken te kijken, dus ik besloot om een foto te nemen van de de grote zwarte wolk waarachter de zon net vandaan tevoorschijn kwam.

Zowel mijn collega als ik zagen op dat moment niets bijzonders. Later die dag bekeek ik de foto's en ontdekte ik de vreemde paarse vlek. Ik vergrootte het verder en was heel verbaasd over wat ik toen ontdekte.

Ufoloog Scott Waring geeft de volgende verklaring:

De UFO was zichtbaar door de hoek van de zon; de wolk en de gloeiende UFO die onder de wolk uit kwam. Je kunt het gebied rondom de UFO zien opgloeien, waardoor de onderkant van de wolken wordt verlicht.

Dit is onzichtbaar voor het gewone menselijke oog, maar het digitale oog is te perfect om dit niet te missen.

Wij denken dat er ook sprake kan zijn van een lens flare in dit geval.

RESTANTEN OUDE STAD OP MARS ( VIDEO )

RESTANTEN OUDE STAD OP MARS ( VIDEO )

Door NASA gemaakte opnames op de planeet Mars blijven de kritische onderzoeker verbazen.

Zeker wanneer er complete ruïnes worden gevonden die wijzen op eerdere beschavingen op Mars.

Wederom een foto, vorig jaar gemaakt door de Curiosity Rover van NASA, waarop in de verte iets is te zien wat eigenlijk alleen kan worden omschreven als een ruïne van een oude stad.

xxx

Wat dit beeld laat zien, is dat er, in ieder geval ooit, mensen of een buitenaards ras woonde op Mars.

Ook lijkt het erop dat deze steden in ieder geval slachtoffer zijn geworden van iets zoals oorlogsgeweld of een grote natuurramp, waardoor het leven op die plekken is verdwenen.

De locatie is ook interessant, want deze is wat hoger gelegen, net ver van de top van de berg. Ook steden op aarde in de oudheid werden op dit soort plaatsen gebouwd omdat ze daar veiliger waren voor overstromingen.

Ook waren dat soort locaties minder kwetsbaar voor eventuele belagers die de stad wilden veroveren, omdat een stad die op een dergelijk punt is gebouwd er behoorlijk indrukwekkend uit.

Al met al is bovenstaande een fascinerende ontdekking die het voor NASA nog weer een stukje moeilijker maakt om het bestaan van buitenaards leven op Mars te blijven ontkennen.

PLANEET NIBIRU KOMT TEVOORSCHIJN IN WIKILEAKS HILLARY E-MAILS

PLANEET NIBIRU KOMT TEVOORSCHIJN IN WIKILEAKS HILLARY E-MAILS

John Podesta, de voorzitter van de presidentiële campagne van Hillary Clinton, weet van het bestaan van het mini zonnestelsel Nibiru dat zich in ons zonnestelsel bevindt.

Dit blijkt uit de door Wikileaks vrijgeven gehackte e-mails. Niet alleen wist hij ervan, maar hij heeft de informatie die hij erover kreeg, doorgestuurd naar Hillary Clinton.

Als John Podesta de informatie in de e-mail zou beschouwen als totale nonsens, waarom zou hij die informatie dan doorsturen naar Hillary?

Het is een e-mail van september 2014 van een voor ons onbekend iemand aan John Podesta, die hem vraagt om aan Hillary te vertellen dat de opwarming van de aarde niet waar is, maar dat dit wordt veroorzaakt door de komst van een planeet zoals die door Zacharia Sitchin is beschreven.

Wie die e-mail wil lezen, kan dat hier doen. Volgens Scott Waring heeft Podesta deze e-mail doorgestuurd naar Hillary, waaruit hij dan concludeert dat er toch wel een kern van waarheid in het verhaal moet zitten.

xxx

Natuurlijk is het waar en natuurlijk is Hillary allang op de hoogte van het bestaan van de planeet. Misschien heeft Podesta die e-mail naar haar doorgestuurd om haar te laten weten dat het nu echt begint te spelen onder de bevolking en dat ze toch beter af zijn om het bestaan van die planeet tijdig bekend te maken.

Misschien is dat ook één van de redenen dat sinds het begin van dit jaar het grote publiek wordt voorbereid op het bestaan van een onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel.

Waar wij jarenlang zijn verketterd en verguisd als aluhoedjes met hun bizarre theorieën, zo komt nu de mainstream wetenschap met de “verrassende ontdekking” dat er wel degelijk een Planet X bestaat.

We komen nu in een periode waarbij er steeds meer andere en verschillende theorieën komen over deze planeet. En dan bedoelen we met verschillende theorieën vooral dingen zoals omlooptijd en wanneer wordt het duidelijk zichtbaar in de hemel.

Iemand die al jaren onderzoek doet en tegenwoordig vanuit de Pyreneeën, is Dave Dobbs. We schreven al eerder over deze man toen hij een bijzondere ervaring had met zijn oude busje dat spontaan uit zichzelf ging rijden en vervolgens in brand vloog.

Dit keer is Dave Dobs te gast bij Rex Bear van het Leak Project, waarbij ingegaan wordt op de laatste ontwikkelingen en waarin heel interessant beeldmateriaal wordt vertoond.

UFO VERLAAT BASIS IN MEXICAANSE VULKAAN ( VIDEO )

UFO VERLAAT BASIS IN MEXICAANSE VULKAAN ( VIDEO )

Pal onder onze neuzen vinden allerlei activiteiten plaats waar geen enkele gangbare verklaring voor te vinden is en niemand in mainstream-land ziet het of doet er verslag van.

Zoals de UFO’s die de Mexicaanse vulkanen gebruiken als thuisbasis en die in de ogen van de wereld gewoon niet bestaan.

Mensen die dingen constateren zoals die worden vastgelegd op door overheden geïnstalleerde webcams kun je moeilijk aluhoedjes, zweefkezen of complotdenkers noemen. En toch gebeurt dat vaak wanneer mensen anderen wijzen op vreemde en onverklaarbare zaken.

Toch zijn het gewoon normale mensen die ogen hebben en die op het beeld dingen zien verschijnen die volgens onze gangbare normen niet kunnen of niet bestaan.

Neem Youtubegebruiker Streetcap1, die niets anders doet dan de hele dag officiële webcams bekijken van NASA en overheden en daar soms de meest merkwaardige dingen tegenkomt.

Zo heeft hij nu (wederom) het vertrek van een cilinder- of sigaarvormige UFO uit de Mexicaanse Colima vulkaan weten vast te leggen.

xxx

In het verleden deden we al verslag over diverse van dit soort UFO’s die aankomen of vertrekken via de krater, maar dit keer vond er net op het vertrek van de UFO een uitbarsting van de Colimavulkaan plaats.

Wie weet hebben ze een soort zijingang ergens in de wand van de vulkaan of vertrok van een positie achter de Colima, dat zou ook kunnen. Of, wie weet, is er meer dan alleen dat wat wij met onze ogen kunnen waarnemen....

Op de volgende beelden die zijn vastgelegd door de webcam zie je een sigaarvormige UFO vertrekken aan de zijkant van de vulkaan en vervolgens ergens in de ruimte verdwijnen.

Voor mensen die denken dat bovenstaande een toevalstreffer is en dat het wel een afwijking van de webcam zal zijn, hierbij nog een deel van een eerder artikel over de vele plaatsen waar dit type UFO verschijnt. Een UFO die we ons wel zullen verbeelden, want volgens de autoriteiten bestaat deze niet.

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.

xxx

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.

cur 2

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.

cur 2

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.

phobos

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.

phobos

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".

RAKET AFGEVUURD VANAF DE MAAN ( VIDEO )

RAKET AFGEVUURD VANAF DE MAAN ( VIDEO )

Alhoewel er steeds meer aanwijzingen zijn dat de maanlandingen nooit echt werden uitgevoerd, zijn er toch ook een aantal zaken die dan moeilijk te verklaren zijn.

Zoals de UFO’s die zijn waargenomen en vastgelegd door astronauten en een nieuwe ontdekking van het afvuren van een raket of een UFO tijdens de Apollo 11 missie.

In het kader van dit artikel gaan we ervan uit dat er daadwerkelijk landingen door de mens op de Maan hebben plaatsgevonden en gaan terug naar een eerder artikel voor wat achtergrond over de Apollo 11 missie.

Vorige week schreven wij een artikel over de laatste drie Apollomissies en dat uit die laatste missies duidelijk blijkt dat er een veel buitenaardse belangstelling was voor de pogingen van de mens om de maan te onderzoeken.

Ook dat ze daar waarschijnlijk niet blij mee waren en een niet mis te verstane boodschap hebben afgegeven waardoor er na 1972 nooit meer een mens voet op de maan heeft gezet.

Het waren echter niet alleen de laatste missies die buitenaards bezoek kregen. Ook de allereerste waarbij de mens landde op de maan werd nauwlettend geobserveerd door buitenaardsen.

Sommigen onder ons kunnen zich die bijzondere gebeurtenis in het jaar 1969 nog herinneren, anderen hebben het alleen van horen zeggen, maar bijzonder was het zeker.

Voor het eerst in de ons bekende geschiedenis van de mens waren we op de maan geland. De bemanning bestond uit Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin en Michael Collins.

Hoe bijzonder dat was, blijkt uit het volgende:

Aangekomen onderaan de ladder, zei Amstrong: "I'm going to step off the LEM now" (verwijzend naar de maanlander). Hij draaide zich om en zette zijn linkervoet op het maanoppervlak om 2:56 UTC, 21 juli, 1969, om vervolgens te zeggen: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind", ofwel in het Nederlands: "Dat is een kleine stap voor [een] mens, een reuzensprong voor de mensheid".

Toen Armstrong zijn beroemde uitspraak deed, werden zijn woorden rechtstreeks uitgezonden via de Voice of America, BBC en talrijke andere televisie- en radiostations ter wereld. Geschat wordt dat 450 miljoen mensen zijn zin gehoord hebben, op een toenmalige wereldpopulatie van 3,631 miljard mensen.

Nu duikt er een nieuw beeld op dat gezien is op foto’s die gemaakt zijn door de Apollo 11 module, waarop duidelijk een raket of een UFO te zien is.

Het lijkt alsof deze wordt gelanceerd of afgevuurd ergens vanuit een krater op de Maan. Wanneer je het beeld op de foto wat uitvergroot, dan ziet het er als volgt uit:

xxx

De originele foto is hier te bekijken.

De vraag is natuurlijk of het iets is dat door mensen is gemaakt of dat we hier te maken met iets van buitenaardse origine.

Dat er waarschijnlijk sprake is van buitenaardse observatie, wordt ook meer duidelijk als we weer teruggaan naar een eerder artikel:

Nu, meer dan 46 jaar na deze gebeurtenis, komt er nieuw bewijs boven tafel waaruit blijkt dat ook bij deze missie de buitenaardsen paraat waren en alles nauwlettend hebben gevolgd.

De volgende opname uit het NASA archief is uiteraard niets nieuws, maar wel nieuw is de ontdekking die daarop is gedaan door de inmiddels beroemde Streetcap1 van Youtube.

Want door de ramen van hun ruimtecapsule konden de astronauten duidelijk zien dat ze werden gevolgd. Door een zogenaamde retro ufo; een model “vliegende schotel” met een koepel aan de bovenkant.

ufo apollo 11 1

ufo apollo 11 2

Wie de originele foto wil bekijken, kan dat hier doen.

Deze nieuwe ontdekking ondersteunt uiteraard ook het verhaal van Buzz Aldrin dat ze vanuit hun ruimtevaartuig een vreemd ongeïdentificeerd object hadden gezien.

Wat er werkelijk wel of niet gebeurd is; duidelijk is dat het publiek, of links- of rechtsom, wordt voorgelogen.

Als er geen maanlandingen zijn geweest, dan zijn we daarover voorgelogen. Zijn er wel maandlandingen en allerlei buitenaardse contacten geweest, dan zijn we daar óók over voorgelogen.

Het is daarom aan onszelf om de waarheid boven tafel te krijgen.

RAADSEL IN DE LUCHT BIJ ENGELSE STAD, BOLTON ( VIDEO )

RAADSEL IN DE LUCHT BIJ ENGELSE STAD, BOLTON ( VIDEO )

Wanneer een gezin uit de Engelse stad Bolton met vakantie gaat naar Griekenland hebben ze een beveiligingssysteem bij hun eigen huis geïnstalleerd omdat in de buurt veel inbraken voor komen.

Ze gaan op 15 augustus 2016 online in Griekenland omdat de camera, waar ze op afstand verbinding mee hebben, een beweging had waargenomen en was geactiveerd.

Diane Veard uit de Engelse stad Bolton ging naar Griekenland met haar partner en drie kinderen voor een vakantie.

Bij het hun huis was een beveiligingscamera geïnstalleerd die geactiveerd werd door beweging en klaarblijkelijk was dit op 15 augustus 2016 het geval en kregen ze een seintje dat de camera was geactiveerd, waarna ze in Griekenland online gingen om via de camera te kijken.

De camera had een bij het huis rondsluipende man met zaklantaarn waargenomen die waarschijnlijk door de lichten die aanfloepten op de vlucht ging, alhoewel dit niet bij het verhaal wordt verteld.

Enige tijd later ging de camera op 11:20 weer aan en wat er toen volgde is te zien op de video hieronder.

Niet alleen gingen de lichten weer even aan en uit, maar in de achtergrond zie je een vreemd object door de lucht vliegen.

xxx

Het is een wit licht dat in de achtergrond achter een paar huizen verdwijnt om even later weer tevoorschijn te komen. Maar, dan maakt deze UFO opeens een bocht en vliegt de ander kant op.

Het gezin plaatste de video op de sociale media waar al snel een verklaring voor het vreemde licht werd gevonden, want het moest wel een meteoriet zijn.

En het had misschien door kunnen gaan voor een meteoriet, ware het niet dat het object op een gegeven moment een draai maakt van bijna 180 graden en in tegenovergestelde richting gaat vliegen.

Wanneer je naar de beelden kijkt, dan zie je dat, wat dit object dan ook moge zijn, het onder een vorm van intelligente besturing staat.

Het lijkt een beetje op de ronde UFO’s die we veel zien tegenwoordig en het lijkt alsof het een soort verkenningsvlucht uitvoert.

Misschien is er wel een andere verklaring voor en dan horen we dat graag.

VERKEER IN CHINA KOMT TOT STILSTAND DOOR UFO ( VIDEO )

VERKEER IN CHINA KOMT TOT STILSTAND DOOR UFO ( VIDEO )

Een spectaculaire UFO-opname die al in april van dit jaar gemaakt is in China, dringt pas nu in het Westen door.

Het is een prachtige video waar de mensen op een snelweg nabij Kanton stoppen, uit de auto stappen, naar de lucht staren en hun camera’s grijpen.

Soms worden er hele mooie UFO-opnames gemaakt die laten zien dat een grote groep mensen in de ban is van iets dat plotseling in de lucht verschijnt.

De volgende beelden zijn afkomstig van ufoloog Scott Waring die zegt dat alhoewel deze opname al in april gemaakt is, deze tot nu toe nog niet buiten Azië is vertoond.

Het is rond kwart voor vier in de middag als automobilisten op een snelweg in de buurt van de Chinese stad Kanton iets vreemds in de lucht zien vliegen. Volgens Scott die zelf in Taiwan woont en wel een aardig woordje Chinees verstaat, zeggen de mensen die de video hebben gemaakt dat er een “Fay-de-aya” (ufo) in de lucht te zien is en dat ze snel moeten uitstappen.

Al snel komt het verkeer compleet tot stilstand aan beide kanten van de weg en staart iedereen vol ongeloof naar de hemel. Zij die een mobiele telefoon hebben, beginnen met filmen en iedereen is heel erg verbaasd en ook een beetje angstig.

xxx

Wanneer je naar kijkt naar de video, dan zie je aan het einde dat de menigte opeens in paniek raakt en wil wegvluchten.

Volgens Scott is dit iets dat wel vaker bij Aziatische volkeren voorkomt, omdat die nu eenmaal geneigd zijn sneller in paniek te raken door onbekende dingen dan wij westerlingen.

Verder zegt Scott dat het ook heel moedig is van degene die dit heeft gefilmd om het op internet te plaatsen omdat je in China voor de meest vreemde dingen zomaar gearresteerd kunt worden.

Al met al is dit een fantastische opname van iets wat duidelijk geen vliegtuig of een drone is en er bovendien in slaagt om de lokale bevolking schrik aan te jagen.

De weermannen en vrouwen die bij ons op televisie het weer moeten voorspellen, praten over vliegtuigstrepen alsof dat een normaal onderdeel van ons leven is.

Dat dit niet zo hoort te zijn, bewijst een UFO boven Parijs die in korte tijd een enorme chemtrail doet oplossen.

Door het regelmatig vermelden en laten zien van foto’s met daarop vliegtuigstrepen zijn weermensen druk bezig met het programmeren van de bevolking.

Het is een fenomeen dat wordt veroorzaakt door vliegtuigen en volgens de weerman van RTL zelfs door schepen, hoort bij ons dagelijks leven en is zeker niet iets om ons druk over te maken.

Vervolgens laten we een mooi plaatje zien van een satellietopname waar je de chemtrails ziet hangen in de bekende rasterpatronen zoals die worden veroorzaakt door vliegtuigen.

Maar, ho, wacht even, volgens onze weerman worden bovenstaande chemtrails niet veroorzaakt door vliegtuigen, maar door schepen.

En om dat aan te tonen, laat hij het volgende plaatje zien.

xxx

Dus, de bekende rasterpatronen die worden veroorzaakt doordat vliegtuigen langs bepaalde airways/luchtroutes vliegen, zijn nu ineens de schuld van schepen.

Dat is knap, want dan zouden ook al die schepen een rasterpatroon moeten varen.

Wat ze niet laten zien op de televisie zijn beelden zoals die hierna volgen en die gemaakt zijn in Parijs op 26 september 2016.

Ook daar, net als hier, enorme chemtrails en dan verschijnt er opeens een ronde UFO in beeld.

xxx

Maar, wat heel bijzonder is, is dat na verloop van tijd de chemtrail rondom de UFO begint op te lossen.

xxx

De man die het geheel heeft gefilmd zegt het volgende:

“Ik dacht eerst dat het een drone of een helikopter was. Maar na het observeren van dit object gedurende een minuut of tien kreeg ik het vermoeden dat het misschien toch niet menselijk was. Het voerde vreemde bewegingen uit, dan weer heel snel en dan weer heel langzaam, zonder dat er een bepaald patroon te herkennen was.

Toen de UFO zich opeens in de richting van een enorme chemtrail bewoog, pakte ik snel mijn camera en probeerde het object te filmen.

Het bleef voor de chemtrail hangen en begon het langzaam te vernietigen. Het leek alsof het de chemtrail langzaam aan het “opeten” was. Ik was totaal sprakeloos.

Ik kan er nog steeds niet over uit dat ik zoiets heb weten vast te leggen. De chemtrail werd echt letterlijk “doorboord”. Ik ben er niet 100 procent zeker van dat dit gebeurd is door het object, maar ik weet zeker dat er een verband is tussen de UFO en de chemtrail.

Een dergelijke grote chemtrail kan niet zomaar vanzelf verdwijnen zonder aanleiding. En alleen een klein deel van de chemtrail wordt vernietigd, net het gedeelte rondom de UFO.

Nadat de UFO de chemtrail had “aangevallen”, begon het achterwaarts te bewegen en vloog weg in westelijke richting. Het verdween behoorlijk snel.

Natuurlijk komt bovenstaande niet in het nieuws, want chemtrails "bestaan niet". Maar, gelukkig worden er steeds meer mensen wakker en daarom hierbij nog een deel uit een eerder artikel:

Het Nederlandse publiek kun je tenslotte van alles wijsmaken.

Behalve als ze het volgende lezen en zien uit een eerder artikel op deze site.

Mensen maken vervolgens foto’s van de lucht, sturen ze op naar weerwebsites zoals weerplaza.nl die deze dan met een beetje geluk publiceren.

Zo stonden daar afgelopen week ook de volgende twee foto’s op:

chem 1

chem 2

Beelden die men klaarblijkelijk normaal vindt en waar weinigen verder van wakker liggen. Een lezer schreef dat de inzittenden van dit specifieke vliegtuig wel heel ziek moeten zijn geworden vanwege het bizarre gezigzag.

Wat er gebeurt wanneer burgers wakker worden en zich zorgen maken over wat er allemaal over hun hoofden wordt gesproeid, bleek vorig jaar zomer in Californië.

Er was door bezorgde mensen in Mount Shasta een vergadering belegd, waar meer dan 400 mensen naartoe kwamen.

Naast gewone burgers waren daar ook een scala aan professionals die kwamen getuigen zoals piloten, neurologen en wetenschappers. Ze verklaren unaniem dat wat er boven onze hoofden gebeurt, niet normaal is.

chem 3

Al diegenen die nog steeds denken dat het onschuldige vliegtuigstrepen zijn die uren en soms dagenlang blijven hangen, doen er goed aan om te luisteren naar de experts in onderstaande video.

Het is een kwartier durende samenvatting van de originele video die hier te bekijken is.

Navolgend een van onze zuiderburen die in gewone (Vlaamse) mensentaal eigenlijk precies hetzelfde vertelt als wat de geleerde koppen in bovenstaande Engelstalige verhandeling vertellen.

Trianteika, Agrinio, Greece sighting

Location: Trianteika, Agrinio, Greece
Date: 7th Oct 2016
Submitted by

Witness report:

Three hours before the time of the sight, a thunderstorm lasted for One Hour. Electricity went out a couple of times and the lights turned on and off rapidly for 5-10 seconds mid-storm. Next three hours was normal rain. When the sight started, a similar-sized Unidentified Flying Object appeared in the sky, which seemed to have been falling down to earth. At the last 30 seconds, I went to get a camera so I could film it, but the UFO’s Red Sphere, which seemed like flames, were put out. The size of the UFO was similar to the Moon’s size, but could not be sure of it’s distance from the place. It seemed to be close to 3km-5km from us. The UFO seems similar to this but with a key difference, and that is that it was alone, without any other UFOs near it, and it had a smoke trail behind it.

Mysterious Light That Seemingly Sucking Up Chemtrail Raises Alien UFO Speculation

paris-chemtrail-ufo

The unidentified flying object sighting video over Paris may have shown a technique from extraterrestrial for clearing Earth’s skyline.

The UFO has been caught on the camera apparently absorbing what is left behind by an aircraft engine. The video shows chemtrail disappearing behind a white light that seemingly moved smoothly through them.

After all the chemtrail close to the white light vanished, it just zipped off and disappeared as well.

The video, posted by YouTube username WTFflow, was reportedly taken on September 28.

The witness claims that he was watching a strange looking light in the sky moving across the sky at variable speeds around his house during the sunset.

At first, he thought it was a helicopter or drone, but he started suspecting the object not to be human-made after five to ten minutes.

WTFflow got his camcorder out and started recording the chemtrail and was surprised by what he observed.

He said that the object hovered in front of the chemtrail and slowly sucked it up.

Indeed, he saw the chemtrail was being somewhat consumed progressively. He was left stunned.

WTFflow is convinced there’s a link between the disappearance of chemtrail and the UFO. He explains that only a small portion of the trail gets erased, just around the object, but it was still a significant part of the trail that disappeared for no reason.

Hey says that the UFO or light moved backward after it absorbed the trail and flew to the west in his opposite direction until it vanished quickly.

Some viewers online are convinced the light could be a UFO, but others say the video is faked using CGI. Another user says that what is shown in the video is a photoshop blurring manipulation.

Folklorist Examines Story of Shag Harbour UFO

Shag-Harbour-UFO-incident

Memorial University of Newfoundland student, who works on his Ph.D. in folklore, is investigating the mystery surrounding the UFO crash incident 49 years ago in Shag Harbour.

Noah Morritt is different from most UFO enthusiasts who went to the small village. He is less interested in the UFO itself and more in the effect of the mysterious event in the town.

On October 4, 1967, many people in Shag Harbour noticed a light drop from the sky that hovered over the water and eventually disappeared into the harbour. Most of the witnesses assumed a plane had crashed.

According to Morritt investigations, RCMP officers in the area also reported a plane had crashed in the water. However, no airplanes were reported missing, and no wreckage was ever discovered. Divers were sent into the harbour in hopes to find remnants, but they all came up with nothing.

The mystery led to changes in Shag Harbour. A group of volunteers, called the Shag Harbour UFO Incident Society, is focusing on the promotion and preservation of materials connected to the crash.

The small town now has a mini museum that showcases the incident and home to the annual UFO symposium.

Tourists flock to the alleged crash site to get a closer look.

Morritt has stayed in Shag Harbour for five weeks in his research about the incident and how people in the area responded to it.

He said that most residents consider the UFO crash story as part of the history of their town, but would still like answers about what transpired in 1967.

Morritt said the object that allegedly crashed into the harbour has been elusive, so there’s desire for closure.

Laurie Wickens was one of those who witnessed the strange event, and like many other witnesses, she still likes answers to what took place.

Wickens said they always thought it was an airplane, but after thinking it over again, they realized that there was nothing conventional that could fly that slowly.

The UFO symposium this year included a bus tour for the first time that traced the route Wickens and other witnesses followed after seeing the lights from the UFO back in 1967.

The bus tour ended on the shoreline of the harbour where witnesses stopped and observed the lights hovered over the water.

Wickens, who is one of the organizers of the event, said 28 people took part of the tour. The tour, according to Wickens, was a test for next year 50th anniversary of the incident in Shag Harbour.

Noah Morritt hopes to come back for the 50th anniversary with his doctoral thesis rough draft.

Static Camera Captures A Metallic Looking Item And Odd Looking UFO

ufo

A static camera allegedly captured a robot-like object and a UFO in separate images on the same day. Paranormal investigators are now looking at this claim.

The pictures were sent to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) for further analysis.

The witness who chose not to be named described the first object as metallic and has a human-like form, which allegedly vanished when the next photo was snapped within the same minute.

The witness claimed that the pictures he sent to the organization dedicated to UFO investigation are taken on a Moultrie trail camera. He said the wind had been blowing and the camera snapped multiple photos.

The unnamed witness was reportedly deleting photos when the human form caught his attention. He estimated it to be less than 200 feet from their house.

On the first picture, the human form is on the right side, and the second photo shows it is gone.

Around seven hours later, the same camera captured a rocket-shaped UFO. The witness described it to be too big to be a bird, and the shape was something he did not see before. The thing in the sky is also in the right of the picture.

MUFON is currently investigating the images.

Ball of Light Seen Going Up and Down Over Block of Flats In Russia

russia-ufo

A ball of light was captured on video doing an up and down movement over a high-rise building in Moscow. Recorded using a mobile phone camera, the video has been viewed thousands of times after being posted online.

According to the Russian media, the UFO that can be seen moving up and down was enormous and brilliant.

Russian officials sought for comment have not released any official statement on the matter, but some claim it wasn’t the first time such light had been sighted.

Vasya Mirny says that this kind of UFO appears quite often in Moscow and that she had seen it twice this year. She adds that these UFOs are even more frequent in other cities of Russia.

Fellow social media user says since she has no idea of this thing hovering in the sky, UFO is the first thing that comes to her mind.

However, others are convinced it is just a part of outdoor lighting used for party or other events and that nothing unusual about this video.

Leaked E-Mails Of Hillary Clinton Reveal Discussions On ETs, UFOs, and Space Wars

John-Podesta-UFOs

An alleged email from an Apollo 14 astronaut and the sixth man to walk on the moon, Edgar D Mitchell, which was reportedly received by the chairman of Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, John Podesta, was published online through WikiLeaks website.

Founded in 2006 by Julian Assange, the website reported that the mail was received in August last year. The email reveals that Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Podesta were intending to have a Skype conversation about the potential space war.

Mr. Mitchel reportedly warned his acquaintance that extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) would not tolerate military violence in any forms on Earth or in space.

However, Mr. Mitchel still described the ETI as nonviolent despite them apparently being intolerance.

“We’re arguably closer than ever to war in space. Most satellites orbiting Earth belong to the US, China and Russia. And recent tests of anti-satellite weapons don’t exactly ease the scare factor.

It sounds like science fiction, but the potential for real-life star wars is real enough.”

Mr. Mitchell wrote that war in space is about to happen. He noted that the U.S., China, and Russia own most satellites orbiting Earth. The recent tests of anti-satellite weapons do not exactly help to ease the scare factor, Mr. Mitchell further wrote. He added that though it sounds like science fiction, the potential for star wars in real life is real enough.

Mr. Mitchell’s email includes multiple online articles on the war in space possibility from various sources.

He said that last summer, Deputy Defense Secretary Robert O Work talked to Congress about space war and President Barack Obama requested $5 billion for 2016 space defense.

He noted that GPS, surveillance, and communications all depend on satellites, which can be disabled without missiles as stated by the Scientific American. Breaking antennas or spray-painting is enough to disable them.

Mrs. Clinton has been linked to UFOs and extraterrestrials in many instances.

She has vowed to open the U.S. secret X-Files if she wins in her presidential bid in November.

Mr. Mitchell died in a hospice at the age of 85 in February this year.

Live Cam Recording Shows Apparent UFO Flying Out Of Erupting Volcano

volcano-ufo

The sensational claim that there are alien races maintaining bases inside volcano has surfaced once again. A footage allegedly showing a UFO zooming out the side of an erupting volcano causes this claim to come back to life anew.

The recent UFO footage was taken from the live stream on the evening when the Colima Volcano erupted.

YouTube channel Streetcap1 said in a video titled “UFO Leaves Colima Volcano Real-Time Streaming” said that it warps on out there.

The video shows an oblong object emerging from either the side or behind the volcano, before seemingly flying up at around 45-degree angle.

One UFO enthusiast viewer said that the UFO in the video is about to leave the side of the mountain when the eruption took place. The commenter described the UFO as cigar shape, much like many past UFOs seen on live cams around Mexican volcanoes.

UFO researchers, who believe that aliens have bases for their spacecraft inside volcanoes, speculated the UFO took a side path since it could not leave through the mouth because of an eruption. They claim that extraterrestrials choose the inside of volcanoes for secret bases of their equipment and UFOs as humans are likely least to explore these places.

WikiLeaks Reveals Sensitive Emails Mentioning UFOs and Roswell Crash Incident

clinton-ufos

Newly leaked emails show Blink 182 former co-lead vocalist was in recent contact with John Podesta about UFOs. Tom DeLonge sent emails to Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta at least twice. He wrote about their mutual interest in more government disclosure about the UFO phenomenon that possibly involved extraterrestrials.

WikiLeaks, which recently released the emails this month, also reveals that Mr. Podesta participated in a documentary produced by Mr. DeLonge. However, it is not established whether Mr. Podesta replied to the messages.

Mr. Podesta worked at the highest levels of government during the administration of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. When Mr. Podesta left the Obama administration in 2015, he stated that his biggest failure was not securing the disclosure of American UFO files. He has long expressed interest in the subject and advocated more government disclosure on classified UFO files.

Mr. DeLonge writes in his email in 2015 that he would introduce Mr. Podesta to two people involved in their sensitive topic. Mr. DeLonge thinks Mr. Podesta would find the two very important people interesting as both were in charge of most fragile divisions handling DOD issues and Classified Science. Mr. DeLonge describes them as A-Level officials.

WikiLeaks also published another email from Mr. DeLonge in 2016 about a former military official who was in charge of all the stuff. The email reveals that the ex-military official and his men shipped the crashed UFO in Roswell to the laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. General McCasland was in charge of this lab for many years, according to the email.

Mr. DeLonge is yet to reply to a request for a comment.

Watch Actual Footage Of A UFO Apparently Traveling 120 Times Faster Than A Plane On Earth

new-zealand-ufo

Many UFO researchers say that a UFO sighting video in New Zealand is the best evidence that space aliens exist.

Many witnesses already filed reports of their sightings to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) for investigation. In fact, some of them were featured on television series and documentaries.

Earlier articles have featured England and Colorado regarding separate UFO appearances. An unnamed witness on board a jet plane captured a photo of a UFO between the island of Ireland and England. A witness on YouTube also shared a video of a UFO appearance in Chesterfield, England.

However, recently, some UFO enthusiasts and hunters believe the video showing a UFO hovering in the sky above New Zealand could be the best proof so far of space alien life here on Earth. The actual footage of a zooming aircraft was released by a morning news TV program in New Zealand. The said aircraft was allegedly moving at 120 times faster than a typical airplane.

The report also revealed that an airline tracker’s radar caught the flying object and gave it an ID name of ZED-KG-DG. Many viewers of the video commented that it is indeed moving so fast and way faster than any known military aircraft.

One UFOlogist and blogger said that he tried to check the FAA website to look for ZED-KG-DG, but failed to find it on records. He suspected that this is one of those instances wherein the U.S. government deliberately hides substantial proof of extraterrestrial with the help of the FAA.

NASA Photos Show A UFO Landing On The Moon

nasa

NASA has released images of a UFO landing on the crater edge of the moon. These pictures have increased speculations that space UFOs indeed exist.

The images were reportedly captured on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission. However, only recently, these unique photos were noticed to show an unidentified flying object.

YouTube channel Paranormal Crucible posted a video featuring this UFO sighting.

Some viewers suggest that the said UFO is just a NASA missile released to terminate any alien base on the Moon. Others agree that this is a missile but not from NASA but coming from the space aliens.

It is still unknown who took the photos, but it could be either Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin during their mission on the moon.

If this missile is proven to be an aircraft controlled by extraterrestrial intelligence, then NASA and the people should take extra precautions in exploring further evidence of alien existence.

As of this writing, no confirmation was made about the identification of the object, buy still many have suggested that it is a UFO.

Alien Hunters Observe A UFO Hovering Above Sydney, Australia

contact-down-under

Latest bizarre footage convinced UFO enthusiasts that it is a proof of alien life. The video shows unexplained light hovering in the sky above Sydney.

UFO & Paranormal Research Society of Australia (UFO-PRSA) gather on a regular basis to talk about UFO sightings, alien abductions, and other unexplained phenomena.

Guest speakers, including scientists, authors, ufologists, hosted the group in public meetings held once a month at the Campbelltown Arts Centre.

Members of the group are composed of students, lawyers, and retirees who share one common belief and that is the truth is out there.

Mainstream media usually disregard theories that extraterrestrials are out there.

One member said there’s evidence that ETs have already come to Earth and this evidence is publicly available. All people should do is to look for it, the member added.

The group said that people should know what is going on instead of waiting for the government to pull the cover over the eyes. It claimed that astronauts and pilots are now coming out of the woodworks.

Another member, who is a Sydney public servant, believes aliens have been visiting her since she was nine-years-old.

The anonymous UFO believer said that she saw a gray humanoid in her room behind the wardrobe with about the same height as her when she was a child. She claimed that she wasn’t afraid of it because it was her friend that just wanted to be with her.

Author of “Contact Down Under: A Century of UFO sightings in Australasia and the Western Pacific,” researcher Moira McGhee believes aliens do exist and that they even have sexual intercourse.

She said they received reports of men being abducted and women have their way with them. There are reports too of women having their eggs taken.

Former lawyer Moira believes in alien life but admits that most ET evidence is difficult to prove or explain.

Moira explains in her book that researchers don’t need to agree with everything people say, but the worst thing researchers can do is to close their mind. Moira adds that researchers should believe anything is possible, but should also have a big dose of skepticism.

Even one of alien-related reports is true; it will surely change humanity forever, says Moira.

UFOs In Triangular Formation Filmed Over Florida

triangle-ufo

A huge boomerang-shaped UFO was spotted and filmed in Dunedin. The witness, who doesn’t want to be named, estimated it to be about 200 to 300 feet across and appeared to be escorted by three other flying objects.

The witness reported his sighting to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which is filed as case 41685. According to the report, the sighting started at around 8:40 p.m. while driving southbound on Keene Road, just north of Sunset Boulevard. The witness was with two other persons when the incident took place.

As the reporting witness drove along, he and his companions saw mysterious lights in the sky. The witnesses got a better look of these lights as they got closer to them. It was the time they realized that the lights were coming from four large aerial objects.

The driver witness pulled over, and the two other witnesses started watching the aerial activity in amazement at the side of the road. The reporting witness managed to take a video of the spectacle, but his mobile phone video produced a poor quality result.

The witness claimed that the boomerang-shaped UFO was the largest among the four mysterious objects. It had four lights that were blinking, and others were constantly shining.

The second UFO flew about 20 feet to the left of the largest UFO in a wingman position. The third one was trailing the boomerang UFO at about half-a-mile at a distance. The fourth one appeared tethering with bright white strobe.

Moments later, the boomerang-shaped flying object started releasing orbs, which were dimly visible in the night sky and vanished a few seconds later after being launched.

Here’s what it looked like:

Footage Shows What Looks Like A Giant UFO Traveling Across The Sky Above California

cloud-ufo-california

Amazing footage has been shared online showing an apparent massive spaceship traveling in a cloud cover.

Apparently recorded on October 10, 2016, in California, the video shows a spaceship look alike object flying across the sky in a cloud formation that seems to move with it.

Many viewers see it as unidentified flying object uncloaking itself. They say it looks like a flat circular plate hiding in the cloud. Some note that the clouds are moving around the UFO and since the center is lower than the rest of the UFO, it is being exposed.

They also gave a reason why the outer edge is also exposed. They say it is because the craft itself is moving at a slightly different speed than the cloud it is in.

Other viewers further suggested a reason why the UFO becomes visible for few minutes. They say that heavy winds and the perfect angle of the sun hitting the UFO cause it to become visible.

Amazing video of UFOs over Las Vegas, Nevada 11-Oct-2016

ufos

Here’s one interesting footage of an unidentified flying object flying over Blue Diamond Hills near Las Vegas, Nevada.

Witness report:

I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of October 11, 2016.
I was able to get both the camcorder and night vision cameras on this object. I wasn’t sure if it was on a distant mountain or if it was in the air until it began to move towards the city. It traveled in a level horizontal path which tells me it was in the air. It would be impossible for it to be on the ground because the hills back there are so uneven and there are no perfectly straight roads in that area.

UFO Expert Found Dead On A Sofa Days After Texting His Mother He Was In Trouble

UFO Expert Found Dead On A Sofa Days After Texting His Mother He Was In Trouble

max-spiers

Conspiracy theorist Max Spiers was discovered dead on a sofa just days before giving a talk about conspiracy theories and UFOs. The father of two, 39, sent a text message to his mother that reads “If anything happens to me, investigate” days before his death.

Max Spiers was found lifeless on a sofa in Poland, where he was scheduled to give a talk about UFOs and conspiracy theories.

Despite the absence of post-mortem examination, it was earlier ruled that he died from natural causes.

However, his mother Vanessa Bates, 63, cannot rule out the possibility that somebody wanted his son to be dead because of Max’s dark investigations into government cover-ups on the truth about UFOs.

Just days before his death he sent a text message to his mother that reads

“Your boy’s in trouble. If anything happens to me, investigate.”

Lived in America for a few years, Max had returned home in Canterbury to stay with his mother before going off to Poland.

Vanessa said that her son was becoming famous in the world of conspiracy theorists and had been invited to speak in Poland at a conference in July.

Max had made a living out of investigating alleged UFO sightings and cover-ups. He was said to be digging into the lives of well-known personalities in politics, entertainment, and business more recently.

Many online followers believe government agents have something to do with Max’s death because of his unexplained death and the subsequent treatment of it by the authorities.

Conspiracy theorists have long been suggested that secret services or popularly known as men in black tend to bump off UFO researchers who are already too close to the truth.

Online fans have requested the authorities to release the details surrounding Max’s mysterious death and called for an autopsy.

According to mother Vanessa, Max was in good health and a very fit man, and yet he just died suddenly on a sofa.

Vanessa was wondering why the Polish authorities concluded that Max died from natural causes even without conducting a post-mortem.

She further revealed in the media that Polish authorities refused to release any paperwork about it to her because she doesn’t have his writing permission. Vanessa found the reason absurd.
Max was buried in Canterbury Cemetery a week after his death.

Pathologist in East Kent reportedly carried out a post-mortem examination on Max’s dead body. However, Vanessa said that she did not know the result even after two months the test was conducted or whether there will be an inquest.

She said her son had not suffered any visible physical injuries but could have been poisoned slowly, making the results of toxicology tests from post-mortem so critical.

Vanessa promised to get the truth of his son’s mysterious death as his sister Becky and brother Josh, as well as his two boys, will also continue to fight to get to the truth.

Blue sphere in the sky above Council Bluffs, Iowa 25-Sep-2016

ufo-sphere

Here’s one new footage of a bright blue/purple sphere hovering in the night sky above US state Iowa. This was filmed on 25th September 2016.

Witness report:

Outside with dog. Am near C.B. small airport so I know what airplanes look like at nite. Looked up and saw purple blue round object soaring across sky from east to west behind neighbors house to north of mine. Looked to be at a distance away. I thought it was a meteor, but then saw hovering in sky, so went in house to get cell phone. Recorded part of experience. The whiter colors in recording are house landscape lights of neighborhood, but the blue purple light you will see hovering then disappear. Next i saw it from behind my house at approximately same distance away, but could not get good video as was partially covered by trees. then disappeared and moved to different location back to where I saw originally from front of house. I did not see it move, just disappear, then reappear. Noise you hear on recording is traffic from Hwg 92. Twice in one spot and once in the other spot. Looked like it could have been located somewhere between Hwy 92 and Hwy 6 in C.B. I read a similar sighting in Atlantic Ia same nite and moving in my direction. Might be same?

Amazing daytime UFO sighting over Guangzhou, China

china-ufo-2016

Here’s one interesting UFO footage of a mass sighting that was filmed over Guangzhou, China. This happened on 11th April 2016.

What do you think about this footage? Please leave your comment below.

UFO Over China Turns The Street Into Parking Area

City people seems to stop and stare a UFO that appears in the sky above them. A dashboard camera of a car reportedly captures the entire event. It shows people stopping, staring and capturing either a photo or video of the UFO. The crowd builds up in a highway and makes the street like a parking lot. People get out of their cars and start capturing the UFO with their cameras and mobile phones.

The video is reportedly taken in Guangzhou, China back in April, but only gone viral after it was uploaded to YouTube by a UFO blogger. He says that this is a fantastic example of a huge UFO over China. The uploader suggests to the viewer to view the video in full screen to notice the UFO wobbles as it moves.

It looks like a disk UFO and perhaps spinning as it moves just like many other UFOs being reported in the past, the uploader explains.

However, some express skepticism about it being a real event.

Social media user Maverick says that it is funny that this is the only source of the video on YouTube considering so many people in the video were also recording this alleged mysterious event.
Another viewer says that it looks like the video shows a part of a commercial.

Another user adds that this is very fake after noticing that the UFO bounces as the camera bounces, making it clearly composed.

Bright Lights Moving Around The UK Skies Spark UFO Claims

chesterfield-ufo

Video of white lights in the sky gets alien hunters into a frenzy amid claims they are alien spacecraft visiting Earth.

YouTube user Wayne Austin uploaded the video to the video sharing site on September 27. He asks the viewers to help him identify the strange lights above Chesterfield in Derbyshire.

According to reports, many people around Manchester claimed to have seen the same strange phenomenon.

The YouTube video shows two lights moving in a random manner in the sky.

Houfton Road, Bolsover resident Fiona Jordan described the UFOs as little cloudy lights in the sky, and they were like dancing.

Jordan said that she noticed the UFOs when she just let her dogs out before going to bed. She claimed to have seen a total of four UFOs – one above the house of her neighbor and three over another house in her neighborhood.

Jordan observed the unidentified flying objects for around 20 minutes. She also revealed that her son in Carr Vale also saw the same things about two or three nights ago.

Some conspiracy theorists believe that these lights are UFOs, which usually perform for the witness with loops or return to observe the witness while keeping distance for 5 to 10 minutes.

However, skeptics have more conventional explanation saying that the lights were simply beams from a circus or another event for entertainment purpose.

Homeowner’s CCTV Catches a UFO Flying over Roofs in the Night Sky

ufo-greece

Diane Veard was surprised to see an out of this world object through the security camera she installed in her home.

Diane was in Greece with her partner and three children for a vacation. Concerned about burglaries in their neighborhood, the couple went online to check their home from their security camera, but they were shocked to discover the device had caught what seemed to be a spaceship.

The motion-activated camera had caught an apparent intruder sneaking around outside their house with a torch. The couple kept on watching and got surprised to see an unidentified flying object.
Unknown causes triggered the camera for the second time in the footage from 11:20 p.m. on August 15. The screen shows a bright white light streaking across the sky through a gap between two houses across the street.

The bright light seems to turn quickly and move fast in a different direction. Diane, 48, said that they had installed the camera to look for a thief because there has been a lot of robberies in their area.

They are not sure the reason as to why the light triggered the second time. Diane said that they have a cat, but he was in the cattery while they were away from home.

Since the couple had seen an apparent intruder, they kept watching the video. They were expecting to see someone a little later, but there was nothing. Then they saw the strange light in the sky.

According to Diane, the light has a tail, making her speculate at first that it was a meteor. But changed her mind when it turned around in the sky and set off in the other direction at high speed.

Diane’s partner Michael Smith said in jest that it was a flying saucer after watching the video from their hotel in Ixia, Rhodes. The couple’s three children, Honor 13, Alexandria, 14, and the eldest Olivia, 17, were equally astounded too.

The video had received mixed comments after Diane posted it on Facebook with some linked it to the annual celestial event, Perseid meteor shower, which peaked a few days before the video was recorded.

However, Diane of Bolton, Greater Manchester is convinced that no meteors can turn around 90 degrees in the sky.

The family also thought it could be a drone, but they know that the drone usually have a flashing light and don’t have the ability to move that fast.

UFO Sighting Video – Blue Light Near NASA’s ISS

UFO Sighting Video – Blue Light Near NASA’s ISS

ufo-nasa

NASA has been accused multiple times of hiding evidence every time it seems to cut off a live stream from the International Space Station (ISS) when an apparent UFO appears on the screen.

Recently, UFO enthusiasts noticed a blue light on the live stream from the ISS but accused the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of cutting the live feed quickly. They claim that the space agency did not want the people to watch the UFO when it appeared.

UFO hunters spotted the phenomenon while watching the live stream from the International Space Station on the 30th of September 2016. The mysterious blue light that appears to hover the Earth was circulated quickly as the latest proof of extraterrestrial life.

Critics, however, dismiss the alien speculation and suggest that the light is just a solar flare. However, believers firmly think it is a solid object reflecting sunlight and flying close to the ISS in low earth orbit.

They further speculate that the UFO is brighter on the left side because of the light from the Sun, dismissing the lens flare suggestion.

YouTube user Streetcap1 posted the video in the commercial video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. He says that the UFO was very distant but still managed to get enough frames to enlarge.

What ‘Star Trek’ May Have Right—and Wrong—About Alien Life

Will we ever salute Vulcans or cuddle tribbles? An astrobiologist explores the latest thinking on the forms alien life might really take.

By Andrew Fazekas6

Over an illustrious 50-year history, Star Trek TV shows and movies have introduced audiences to some of the most famous fictional aliens. Be they Klingons, Cardassians, Vulcans, or tribbles, the Trek universe abounds with distinct and diverse extraterrestrials.

For now, such exotic civilizations remain in the realm of science fiction. But scientists have plenty of ideas about what real alien life might be like, and what our chances are of ever discovering whether we are alone in the universe.

In the past few decades, scientists have developed exquisitely sensitive equipment to search for other habitable worlds and to hunt for greetings from across the cosmos. To date, astronomers have found more than 3,500 planets beyond our solar system, and they calculate that many more remain undiscovered. (See how aliens might contact us using giant laser doodles.)

Even more exciting, we’ve found handfuls ofplanets that seem to be in the so-called habitable zone—the region around a star where the temperature is just right for liquid water to exist on a planetary surface. Water is a key ingredient for life as we know it, and its presence seems to have driven biological development right from the start.

“The fact that on Earth life emerged quickly just after conditions became habitable suggests that this could happen often in other systems, too,” says Daniel Apai, an astronomy and astrobiology researcher at the University of Arizona and the NASA Astrobiology Institute.

“Life persisted for about four billion years on Earth and survived a variety of planetary challenges, suggesting that it is very difficult to ‘sterilize’ a planet once it’s taken a foothold,” he adds. “So chances are good that life is relatively common in the galaxy.”

Spreading Seeds

If we ever do find aliens, would they be anything like the beings that populate Star Trek? While the show writers have imagined some highly unique creatures, from non-corporeal energy beings to intelligent clouds, most aliens encountered by the Enterprise crew have been carbon-based life-forms that are all too often humanoid.

The striking similarity between humans and the show’s most famous aliens, including Romulans, Vulcans, and Andorians, has been a point of contention with many fans over the years. In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the franchise writers attempted to explain this convenient lack of biological diversity using a real scientific theory called panspermia.

Captain Kirk deals with troublesome tribbles in Star Trek.

COURTESY CBS

Proponents of this theory argue that life on Earth may have been seeded by hardy microbes—or at least, by raw ingredients such as amino acids—that traveled here via comets or asteroids. While there’s no direct evidence to back up this claim, missions such as the Rosetta orbiter have found the building blocks of life on comets, and we know tough organisms such as tardigrades can survive unprotected in space.

Scientists also believe early Earth was bombarded by meteors, which could have delivered a “starter kit” for life from elsewhere in the galaxy.

Building on the panspermia concept, Star Trek suggested that an ancient humanoid life-form intentionally seeded worlds around the Milky Way, creating new species that assumed their basic shape. While each of these species may have split off on its own evolutionary path, they are all essentially long-lost relatives. (Find out how Star Trek is right about almost everything.)

While there is a case for panspermia, chances are slim that we will encounter humanoid life-forms in the real universe, Apai argues. Some theories suggest that local environmental conditions and evolutionary events left to chance will most likely shape the future of any life-form, making it totally unique.

“While there are examples for parallel evolution in the terrestrial biosphere—for example, similar eyes evolving in very different, unrelated species—it seems unlikely to me that we would encounter alien life that would be humanoid,” says Apai.

It’s a Small Galaxy?

Instead, given the only example we have, some researchers suggest that the most common form of life across the galaxy may be what’s most abundant here on Earth: microbes.

“On Earth, it took only a relatively brief period for life to emerge and reach the capability to photosynthesize, but it took billions of years for complex animals to emerge, and intelligence and technical civilization have only been present for about 0.000001 percent of Earth’s past,” says Apai. In other words, our planet’s history has been dominated by a wide array of microscopic life.

There’s also a good chance that the basic molecular building blocks we see on our world will be common throughout the universe.

The horta was a silicon-based life form in Star Trek.

COURTESY CBS

“Given the availability and its chemical properties, it is a good guess that carbon may often be the key species that provides the backbone, the molecular scaffolding, for biomolecules,” says Apai.

Still, astrobiologists are trying not to be too Earth-centric in their theories about alien life—there’s always the chance that if we do manage to find extraterrestrials, we’ll stumble upon silicon-based creatures like the horta or sentient minerals like the crystalline entity.

“We are looking for everything we can find and trying to exclude no possibilities that we can conceive,” says Apai. “Of course, I am still certain that we will be surprised when we will first be able to study extraterrestrial life.”

Story of Shag Harbour UFO examined by folklorist

‘I think there’s more to Shag Harbour than just a UFO’

By David Burke, CBC News

Shag Harbour gets visitors from all over who come to see where an alleged unidentified flying object went in the water back in 1967.

(shagharbourincident.wordpress.com/museum/)

A student working on his PhD in folklore at Memorial University of Newfoundland is digging into the mystery surrounding an unidentified flying object that crashed into Shag Harbour, N.S., 49 years ago.

Noah Morritt isn't like the many UFO enthusiasts that travel to the small fishing village, he's less interested in the object itself and more in the effect the story has had on the town.

The infamous Shag Harbour UFO incident

Back on Oct. 4, 1967, people in Shag Harbour saw a light drop from the sky, hover over the water then disappear into the harbour. Many eyewitnesses who saw the light assumed a plane had gone down.

RCMP officers on the scene also reported a plane had gone in the water, said Morritt. No wreckage was ever found and no planes were reported missing. Divers were sent into the harbour and also came up with nothing.

"How did we get from plane crash to UFO? What does it mean for the people in Shag Harbour? What does it mean to live in a community where there was a UFO crash?" said Morritt.

"I think there's more to Shag Harbour than just a UFO."

The Shag Harbour Incident Interpretive Centre in Shag Harbour houses information related to the UFO sighting in the community.

(shagharbourincident.wordpress.com/museum/)

The incident has led to changes in Shag Harbour — there is a volunteer group called the Shag Harbour UFO Incident Society focused on promoting and preserving materials connected to the crash.

A small museum dedicated to the incident and an annual UFO symposium is held in the community.

There's also a stream of tourists who want to get a closer look at the alleged crash site.

Research almost complete

Morritt has spent five weeks in Shag Harbour researching both the incident and how residents responded to it.

He said most people accept what happened as a part of their town's history, but would still like answers about what happened.

"The object itself, the thing that crashed into the harbour always remains elusive, so I really think there's a desire for closure," said Morritt.

Laurie Wickens is one of those people who would like some answers, he was an eyewitness to what happened in 1967.

"We always thought it was an airplane, but when you stop and think about it now... there's nothing conventional that could fly that slow ... whatever it was, I ain't got no idea," said Wickens.

Bus tour offered

The UFO symposium in Shag Harbour just finished for this year, it included for the first time a bus tour that traced the route Wickens followed after spotting the UFO's lights back in 1967.

The tour ended on the harbour's shoreline where Wickens stopped to and watched the lights hover above the water.

Wickens helped organize the event, he said 28 people took part in the tour.

"If you do the tour, people can really get an understanding of really what happened and really where everything was seen," said Wickens.

He wanted to run the tour as a test for next year, which will mark the 50th anniversary of the incident in Shag Harbour and will be accompanied by an even bigger celebration.

Noah Morritt hopes to be back for the event with a rough draft of his doctoral thesis.

To the Archives! Lowcountry has a weird history with UFOs

Caitlin Byrd Email Facebook @marycaitlinbyrd

Do you want to believe? You’re not alone.

The Charleston area has a stellar history with UFO sightings. After digging through the newspaper’s archives, we’ve found some fascinating stories that are too good to keep to ourselves.

Enlarge

Every Thursday, we will do just that: Dig through the archives to bring you entertaining, meaningful and interesting stories from our past.

Some (like this one) should make you laugh.

Others (we hope) will make you think.

Video: Radio signal sparks alien life speculation

For this first installment of “To the Archives!” we’re thinking big — out of this world big.

Here are a few of the interactions the Lowcountry has had with the extraterrestrial.

1973: What’s that on the horizon?

Ten callers reported seeing a UFO to both police and The News and Courier on Sept. 30, 1973.

According to an Oct. 1, 1973 article in The News and Courier, the object appeared to be the size of a large star and could be seen with the naked eye, even though members of the City Fire Department had a telescope trained on the object.

James Howard, a firefighter, told the newspaper that the object started out higher in the sky before it moved steadily northward. He also said it looked bright with red and green lights blinking around.

The best details about the event would come later in a 1986 article published in the Feb. 2, 1986 edition of The News and Courier/The Evening Post.

One of the reporters who was tasked with covering the sighting in 1973 said they saw it, too.

“The reporter didn’t say whether he thought spacemen were inside,” the 1986 article said.

1977-1978: Beamed up

Enlarge

Wedged alongside letters published in the May 31, 1978 edition of the Charleston News and Courier was a letter unlike the rest.

A North Charleston mechanic by the name of William J. Hermann said he had beef with an article written about UFOs. The reason why, he wrote, was because he believed they were real.

He also sent in a picture.

A profile of Hermann the following year would go on to tell just how intense his experience had been.

Hermann told the newspaper that he was abducted by aliens not once, but twice. He claimed both incidents happened between October 1977 and March 1978.

“Their skin was the color of a marshmallow. Their eyes were long and dark with a brown iris. Their heads looked like overgrown human fetuses with no ears or hair. I heard a voice telling me to have no fear...” Hermann said.

Hermann said he did not remember the first incident until extraterrestrials sent him a strange-looking metal bar with the letters “MAN” on it. Only then, he said, did he remember the March 1978 abduction

“I’m the token UFO guy,” Hermann told The Post and Courier in 1981.

But he wouldn’t want that title for long.

Two years later, he washed his hands of all of it when he wrote a letter to the editor. He called the UFO phenomena “satanic in nature, demonic in origin.”

1989: ‘It was a monstrous looking thing’

On a later summer night in 1989, seven people saw something fly across the sky while they were standing in a parking lot near Rivers Avenue and Remount Road

At first, they thought it was a plane.

Then, they weren’t so sure.

A July 17, 1989 article published in The Post and Courier describes the flying object:

“It was a dark shapeless object 300-500 feet long, and fiery white and yellow sparks were shooting out of what seemed to be its tail end. Its front end appeared to be glowing.

It didn’t have any other lights or windows. It was about 1,500 feet in the air, moving slowly, and had just passed soundlessly above them from north to south.”

When Bessie Dixon asked what it was, no one could answer her question.

The object that went soaring across the sky was so large that it was seen streaking across the sky in Myrtle Beach.

Leo Martin told The Post and Courier by phone that he had never seen anything like it.

“I looked up and saw an enormous ball of fire with a tremendous tail. I’m former Air Force and have never seen anything like that.”

Martin also took a video of the incident, and sold the footage to ABC for an undisclosed price.

Is there something you want us to look up in our archives? Let us know. Send us message on Snapchat at @postandcourier, Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. You can also send an email directly to Caitlin Byrd at cbyrd@postandcourier.com.

VIDEO: UFO filmed in skies over Bolton by family who'd hoped to capture burglar

UFO: The unidentified flying object was captured on film in the skies over Chew Moor

UFO: The unidentified flying object was captured on film in the skies over Chew Moor

A FAMILY who installed a security camera after a spate of burglaries in their neighbourhood were staggered to find the device had captured a UFO on screen.

Diane Beard was on holiday in Greece with her partner and three children when they went online to check footage from their Chew Moor home on August 15.

Keen to keep an eye on their empty house, they were startled to see that the motion-activated camera had caught a would-be intruder prowling around outside their house with a torch.

But a bigger shock was to come.

Footage from 11.20pm the same night shows the camera trigger for a second time by sources unknown – and then something remarkable occurs in the skies over Bolton.

Through a gap between two houses across the street, a bright white light can be seen streaking across the sky in the distance.

The light then appears to turn abruptly and travel at high speed in a different direction.

UFO filmed in skies over Bolton

“We’ve had the camera a few months. We were actually looking for a thief. There has been a lot of robberies,” said Diane, 48.

“We didn’t know what triggered the light the second time. It couldn’t have been our cat, Alfie, as he was in the cattery while we were on holiday.

“But because we’d seen this intruder earlier, we kept watching the video.

“We were thinking that someone might appear, but there was nothing. Then we saw the light in the sky. I’ve never seen anything like it before.

“The light has a tail following it, so I thought it could be a meteor. But a meteor doesn’t turn around in the sky and set off in the other direction. It was going at some speed.”

NASA Rocket Brings Home Cosmic X-Ray Answers — and a New Mystery

By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor

**NASA's DXL sounding rocket ventured through the sun's helium-focusing cone to investigate the origin of X-rays in space.**
**Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Lisa Poje**

A NASA sounding rocket zoomed above Earth's atmosphere, confirming one interstellar source for X-rays and one more local one — and discovering others whose origin remains a mystery.

NASA's rocket, called the Diffuse X-ray emission (DXL) rocket, discovered that some of the X-rays that bombard Earth's atmosphere likely come from the "Local Hot Bubble," which is believed to be a zone of hot interstellar material surrounding the solar system. While the bubble has been hypothesized since the 1990s, DXL showed that its existence is likely true.

Other X-rays happen as a part of solar wind exchange. The solar wind is a constant flow of charged particles from our sun; because the gas is ionized — it includes charged particles and the electrons separated from them — the solar wind can carry electric and magnetic fields. At times, the solar wind pushes into neutral gas (where electrons and ions are more tightly bound), and "excites" the electrons in this gas. When the electrons stabilize, they release energy in the form of X-rays. [The X-Ray Universe: Chandra X-Ray Space Observatory Pictures]But the study scientists also found higher-energy X-rays that originate from an unknown source.

"At higher energies, these sources [solar wind and the Local Hot Bubble] contribute less than a quarter of the X-ray emission," Youaraj Uprety, lead author on the study and an astrophysicist at University of Miami, where the research was conducted, said in a NASA statement. "So there's an unknown source of X-rays in this energy range."

DXL flew for about 15 minutes, providing a glimpse of X-rays beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere normally blocks out these high-energy forms of light.

NASA's Diffuse X-ray emission from the Local Galaxy (DXL) sounding rocket launched in 2012, gathering data above the atmosphere about the X-rays that bombard Earth. A new study based on data from that excursion was published in 2016.
**Credit: White Sands Missile Range, Visual Information Branch**

DXL was sent aloft at a time that is advantageous to measure X-rays coming from the solar wind: When the rocket flew, Earth was passing through something called the helium-focusing cone. Space is full of hydrogen and helium; as the solar system passes through it, the neutral helium creates a tail around the sun because helium is heavier than hydrogen.

Scientists were able to use those conditions to figure out how much X-ray emission comes from the solar wind, because the solar wind's exchange depends on interactions with neutral material such as helium. From there, scientists at first hypothesized that all of the remaining X-ray emission comes from the Local Hot Bubble — a large gas pocket that was supercharged by two or three supernova explosions, one inside the other, Massimiliano Galeazzi, an astrophysicist at the University of Miami and an author on the study, said in the same statement.

But something happened that they weren't expecting. Some of the X-rays detected by the rocket were too high of an energy to be from the Local Hot Bubble, because its temperature is too low. These X-rays also weren't in the helium-focusing cone, and so they didn't come from the solar wind. The origin of this third set of X-rays is completely unknown.

A study based on the research was published Sept. 23 in the Astrophysical Journal.

When Humans Finally Get To Mars, Will They Ever Be Able To Come Home?

This SpaceX conceptual illustration depicts how the private spacecraft company plans to send their Dragon capsule to Mars. Image released Sept. 14, 2015.

IN BRIEF

The most crucial element necessary to a round-trip Mars journey is fuel.
Finding the best raw materials for fuel, a location for a chemical plant, and the best source of water are all vital to survival.

FUELING DREAMS OF MARS

Elon Musk recently described his plans to make human beings an interplanetary species, starting with a trip to Mars. But how exactly does the SpaceX CEO intend to bring people back from the red planet?

Credit: SpaceX

The most crucial element necessary to both trips is fuel, which must be created using the raw materials at hand – and Mars has a lot of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Thus, using the proven Sabatier reaction, carbon dioxide could be used to react with hydrogen to form methane for fuel.

This chemical processes would need an ample source of energy. This could come from solar panels (assuming Elon Musk can bring a ton of super energy efficient ones to the red planet). Luckily, once the process is up and running, the end products of burning methane and carbon dioxide are the same as the starting ingredients. Therefore, the process should produce enough oxygen to power the craft’s engines.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

A place to set up a chemical plant that will carry out the above actions is crucial. If water is used to power the plant, there’s only a couple places where it can be established. There’s a ton of water located in the polar ice caps. However, those are essentially Mars’ “danger zone,” offering incredibly harsh conditions.

According to Musk’s presentation: “the first ship will have a small propellant plant, which will be expanded over time.” Having a small plant presents some complications, though. It would take more time to start building a chemical plant to process fuel, and mean more resources are needed to keep people fed. Unless the perfect location can be found, the first group would have to be small enough to operate and expand the propellant plant, and have enough pre-produced fuel for a return trip.

Based on these challenges, it is clear that the first trip would be composed of people sent to build the basic infrastructure to allow for continued existence on Mars. The folks from SpaceX and NASA are aware of this, of course. And, given enough time and preparation, would eventually come up with the best way to tackle the situation.

If the human mind can conceive of life on Mars, then it can probably figure out how to make it happen.

NASA scientists have studied the possibility of using a robotic version of its Dragon capsule in a mission to bring samples of Martian soil and rock back to Earth. The "Red Dragon" project, which is only in the concept stage, would pick up samples collected by NASA's 2020 Mars rover. This could help tremendously in the search for ancient life on Mars. Finding signs of ancient organisms in the Martian soil will likely be an extremely delicate task and will require that the samples be analyzed in advanced laboratories on Earth.

NASA, meanwhile, has also discussed a human mission to Mars but has not made any solid mission plans. However, the space agency has said that the primary goal of the one-year mission aboard the International Space Station is to learn about how long-duration spaceflight affects the human body. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko, are halfway through their nearly yearlong stay aboard the station. Using current technology, experts estimate that a trip to Mars would require more than a year in travel each way..

Our Part of the Milky Way is 30% Larger Than We Thought

Since the Earth is in the Milky Way, we can see only part ofit (in this case one of the arms), so astronomers use other means to study it, including measuring distances between objects.

flickr

IN BRIEF

The actual size of the whole Milky Way may be on par with Andromeda.
The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope in 2018 will give us a clearer picture of the galaxy as well as deeper areas of the universe.

KNOWING OUR GALAXY FROM WITHIN

A study, published in Science Advances, contain new models of the Milky Way that suggest our galaxy may not be a perfect spiral. The research team of international scientists wanted to figure out if the Milky Way matches the spiral shape observed in other galaxies, as part of a larger study that aims to sharpen our image of our galaxy.

It’s not easy to answer, however, because we are right in the middle of the galaxy, making it impossible to get the same views that we enjoy of other galaxies. Therefore, scientists turn to models to approximate our shape as best as possible. “The fundamental problem for the Milky Way is that it’s a disk-like system and we’re inside the disk,” Mark Reid, astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and co-author of the study, says in an interview with The Christian Science Monitor.

Thus, the team set out to study radio wavelengths. They mapped out how far star-forming regions were from the sky, using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s Very Long Baseline Array of telescopes, and calculating how far these war form Earth.

Their results showed that our solar system’s spot in the Milky Way (dubbed the Local Arm or the Orion Spur) is a substantial arm — larger than previously thought, and isn’t just a spur from a fully-grown system.

SELFIE OF GALACTIC PROPORTIONS

The study, like most research done on our galaxy and space in general, uses models born from calculations.

But what if it’s actually possible to see the Milky Way, and to confirm whether the study is correct? It would probably take some years to complete a picture of our galaxy. The good news is, it will be done soon. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), to be launched by 2018, is going to help give us an image of the galaxy and even the universe.

More powerful and sensitive than the Hubble and other telescopes that came before it, the JWST can surely give us a selfie of our galaxy like we’ve never seen before. And perhaps more.

Sept. 26: NASA Sets to Release Details of ‘Surprising Activity’ on Europa, Many Speculate Alien Life

The rumors about alien life have once again appeared. This time, the rumors were started by an announcement made by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

NASA said in a statement: “Astronomers will present results from a unique Europa observing campaign that resulted in surprising evidence of activity that may be related to the presence of a subsurface ocean on Europa.”

In late 2013, it is said the Hubble telescope observed water vapor erupting from Europa. Many researchers hailed the development as a ‘tremendously exciting’ discovery.

In this current announcement by NASA, when speculations about a possible alien life on Europa began trending on social media, NASA tweeted to quash the rumors.

Some exobiologists also suspect that alien life exists, although there is no empirical evidence to prove it. Exobiology is the knowledge and study of alien life.

Particularly this year, a possible detection of alien life, or planets occupied by aliens, has appeared many times in the media.

Stay with us for the latest on what NASA has discovered on Europa. We are following the event closely.

NASA schakelt weer livestream uit nadat UFO bij ruimtestation ISS verschijnt

NASA wordt er weer van beschuldigd bewijs voor UFO’s te verdoezelen. Het ruimteagentschap zette het beeld op zwart nadat er een ongeïdentificeerd vliegend object bij het internationale ruimtestation ISS werd gespot.

Streetcap1, die de beelden op YouTube zette, claimt dat er op 30 september een vreemd object langs het ISS vloog tijdens een livestream. In het filmpje is in de verte een blauw licht te zien.

Sceptici stellen dat het gaat om een lensflare, maar dat is volgens Streetcap1 niet het geval. Hij zegt dat het ongeïdentificeerde object vanwege het zonlicht aan de linkerkant helderder is.

Hij voegt toe dat de NASA de feed uitschakelde kort nadat de UFO in beeld was gekomen. Volgens UFO-jagers is het bewijs dat de ruimtevaartorganisatie de aanwezigheid van buitenaards leven wil verdoezelen.

In juli kondigde NASA aan de livestream van het ISS langzaam te willen uitfaseren. Mensen die de stream volgen om te speuren naar tekenen van buitenaards leven claimen dat NASA bewijs voor aliens achterhoudt.

Amazing UFO Destroys Chemtrail, Alien Technology? Sept 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 28, 2016
Location of sighting: Paris, France

This cloud orb was seen over paris last week moving slowly though chem trail, possible analysing its make up to come to some conclusions about how humanity pollutes its air. I do believe that the only reason this one was seen was the fact that it was during sunset. UFOs are particularly vulnerable to being seen during sunset.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

09/28/16 - 19:41 I caught an extraordinary UFO sighting. I was watching an odd looking light crossing the sky at variable speeds around my house, during the sunset. To me it was just some sort of helicopter, or maybe a drone. But after 5 or 10 minutes, I began suspecting the object not to be man-made. It was performing weird maneuvers, accelerating and decelerating randomly. When the light started to accelerate towards a huge Chemtrail, I took my camcorder and tried to find it in the distance. The object stopped in front of the Chemtrail, and slowly destroyed it. Indeed, the trail was being "consumed" progressively. I was simply speechless. I still can't believe what I caught. The Chemtrail got literally perforated! I can't be 100% sure it's due to the object itself, but I'm sure there's a link between it and the Chemtrail. Such a huge trail can't just disappear like that, for no reason! And only a small portion of the trail gets erased, justly around the object! After the UFO attacked the trail, it moved backwards and flied West, in my opposite direction. It disappeared pretty quickly. Sorry for zooming out a little bit too early, my camcorder screen is really small, and doesn't have that much pixels... The object got so far away at the end, I simply thought it was not there anymore. What was that object? Man-made prototype to delete Chemtrails? Some extra-terrestrial technology made to protect us? (maybe a bit far-fetched, but seriously, have you ever seen that before?) I just don't have a clue of what this is.

Deze film is een absolute must-see: Ben jij er klaar voor om wakker te worden?

De manier waarop we onze planeet behandelen, is een weerspiegeling van de manier waarop we onszelf en anderen behandelen. De meeste mensen geloven dat de externe wereld de enige realiteit is. Mensen klampen zich eraan vast en laten zich leiden door angst en hebzucht. Ze lopen rond als zombies.

In de film Mind the Matrix van de Nederlandse filmmaker Christianne van Wijk bespreken diverse experts hoe we weer in harmonie kunnen komen en kunnen terugkeren naar onze natuurlijke staat. Wereldwijde verandering is pas mogelijk als we zelf het goede voorbeeld geven.

Als we ontwaken en ontdekken wie we werkelijk zijn, zal de realiteit zich vanzelf aanpassen. Als we gericht blijven op de externe wereld zal er geen verandering plaatsvinden. Of zoals Mahatma Gandhi zei: “Wees de verandering die je in de wereld wilt zien gebeuren.”

Eigen kracht

Deze film is een absolute must-see: Ben jij er klaar voor om wakker te worden?

“Het valt me op hoe de grote massa alles accepteert zonder vragen te stellen en te onderzoeken,” zegt Van Wijk. “Dat is het grootste probleem. Het schapengedrag. We zijn als mensen vergeten hoe het is om soeverein in onze eigen kracht te staan. Om echt ‘mens’ te zijn.”

“Met Mind the Matrix lok ik de mensen uit om weer wakker te gaan worden en te gaan onderzoeken: van binnen en van buiten,” gaat ze verder. “Voordat het te laat is en de planeet aarde niet langer een plek is om dit te kunnen doen. Door natuurrampen, vervuiling of de overname van de wereld door een tegenstrijdig bewustzijn. Ik hoop dat dit helpt.”

Rothschild

Eén van de experts die in de film aan het woord komt is Ian R. Crane, die jarenlang in de olie-industrie werkte. Hij liep rond in Irak en zag van dichtbij hoe Saddam Hoessein het veld moest ruimen omdat een consortium onder leiding van de familie Rothschild toegang wilde krijgen tot de Iraakse olievelden. Hij stelt dat het Westen nu om dezelfde redenen een conflict met Rusland probeert uit te lokken, namelijk om toegang te kunnen krijgen tot Russisch gas.

De geschiedenis (evenals het heden) staat bol van heersers, bestuurders en machthebbers die vooral gekenmerkt worden door niets ontziend egoïsme. Wiens gezag vooral aangewend wordt voor de eigen macht en rijkdom, zonder enig oog voor de ellende en armoede van de bevolking. Mensen met een psychopathische inslag komen onevenredig vaak naar boven drijven in bestuurlijke functies.

Archonten

In het oude Griekenland werden dit soort mensen ook wel in verband gebracht met archonten, een term die is afgeleid van het Griekse woord voor ‘heerser’. In de gnostiek zijn archonten bestuurders die de menselijke ziel gevangen houden tijdens haar aardse verblijf. Na de dood zal een archont proberen de ziel tegen te houden.

De rijken worden rijker en de armen worden armer. Inmiddels is meer dan 60 procent van alle rijkdom op aarde in handen van slechts zeven families. Toch worden veel mensen die dit soort dingen aankaarten bestempeld als complottheoretici. Hoe het anders kan zie je in Mind the Matrix.

Wil jij de wereld graag zien veranderen? Wil je inspiratie opdoen en zien hoe een kleine verandering in je leven al een enorme impact kan hebben? Wil je iets positiefs bijdragen aan de wereld? Bekijk dan onderstaande video:

MEER RAADSELACHTIGE OBJECTEN IN DE LUCHT ( VIDEO )

MEER RAADSELACHTIGE OBJECTEN IN DE LUCHT ( VIDEO )

Als één iemand iets vreemds waarneemt in de lucht, dan valt dat eigenlijk niet zo op, maar wat nu als het er veel meer zijn?

Komt het dan bij niemand op dat er toch iets meer gaande is in de lucht dan overheden ons wensen te vertellen?

Misschien is wel het grootste raadsel van onze tijd dat nog steeds een groot deel van de bevolking liever niets wil weten van vreemde dingen in de lucht en zich in allerlei bochten zal wringen om er een passende verklaring bij te vinden.

Een passende verklaring wil zeggen iets dat keurig in een vakje kan worden gestopt zoals Thaise ballonnen en waar we ons verder niet druk over hoeven maken, want stel je voor dat we echt zouden moeten gaan nadenken over dingen die officieel niet bestaan.

En dus zullen er nooit echt wetenschappelijke onderzoeken komen naar al die dingen die door mensen met eigen ogen worden waargenomen en gefotografeerd of gefilmd.

Navolgend een aantal recente voorbeelden van vreemde dingen in de lucht, waar zo één twee drie geen verklaring voor is. Dat wil niet zeggen dat het dan per definitie iets met buitenaardsen te maken moet hebben, maar voorlopig zijn de dingen die worden waargenomen UFO’s (niet geïdentificeerde vliegende objecten).

Dat geldt ook voor de volgende lichten die een wandelaar zag boven Chesterfield in het Engelse Derbyshire op 27 september 2016.

xxx

Het zijn twee vreemde lichten die eerst in een soort formatie lijken te vliegen en daarna afzonderlijk allerlei vreemde patronen door de lucht maken. Het toeval wil dat ufoloog Scott Waring met zijn gezin vorig jaar dezelfde ervaring heeft gehad in een ander deel van de wereld. Zij zagen ongeveer 50 van dit soort lichten/objecten toen ze ’s nachts naar huis liepen.

Hij zegt dat ze weten dat je hen bekijkt en dat ze daarop reageren door allerlei vreemde patronen te maken. Ze blijven je op een gepaste afstand observeren voor ongeveer vijf tot tien minuten.

En niemand weet wat het zijn.

Een iets ander soort lichten werd op 7 september ’s avonds laat waargenomen boven High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire door een dame, Laura Manser.

De opname begint met twee lichten/bollen in de lucht die in een soort formatie lijken te vliegen/hangen. Later komen er nog enkele bij en worden het er uiteindelijk vier.

xxx

Laura plaatste dit alles op de sociale media en natuurlijk werden er onmiddellijk de nodige grappen gemaakt over aliens. Dat is hoe mensen meestal reageren. Het is op de één of andere reden altijd grappig, anders mag je het niet zeggen.

Echter, wat ook voor Laura en haar vrienden begon als grap over buitenaardsen is nu iets geworden waar ze zich toch echt het hoofd over breken en zich nu over afvragen of het misschien toch….

Planes or aliens Strange footage shows... door justa4t

En ook in ons land worden dit soort vreemde dingen waargenomen. Waar de twee bovenstaande waarnemingen zijn gedaan in het donker is de volgende afgelopen zaterdag gebeurd, overdag in Roosendaal Noord.

Een lezer stuurt het volgende (dank!):

Vanmiddag rond 15 uur kwam ik thuis van boodschappen doen met mijn scootmobiel, toen ik de poort open wilde doen keek ik nog even eroverheen naar de wolken, wat schept mijn verbazing, er was een hele formatie ik denk 8 á 9 van zilverkleurige voorwerpen in de lucht in noord-oostelijke richting het leken mij een soort bollen.

Daar ik vanuit mijn positie geen goed uitzicht had ben ik even terug naar buiten gereden naar een plaats waar ik wel goed zicht had, heb er een aantal foto’s en filmpjes van gemaakt, maar hierop is slechts op één foto iets vaag te zien terwijl de voorwerpen duidelijk zichtbaar waren.

Ik heb de 3 overgebleven voorwerpen omcirkeld.

Ze zijn langzaam in o.n.o. richting verdwenen, het waren duidelijk geen vogels of andere mij bekende voorwerpen en er was geen geluid te horen.

Ik moet er bijzeggen dat ik normaal vrij sceptisch ben wat dit soort zaken betreft, dit was echter erg duidelijk en geen normaal iets.

Heb de originele foto en de bewerkte foto toegevoegd, de beelden zijn gemaakt met een Samsung Galaxy S5.

Ik woon in Roosendaal-noord op 150 meter zuid van de spoorlijn Roosendaal/Breda.

xxx

Hebben meer mensen in de buurt van Roosendaal afgelopen zaterdagmiddag rond drie uur iets dergelijks gezien in de lucht?

En nog een lezer uit Noord Limburg (dank!), die een vreemde ervaring had die wel past in het past in het bovenstaande rijtje.

Op de rozenakker achter mijn ouderlijk huis had ik op vrijdag 23 september jongstleden zag ik een snel flitsend /kloppend licht dat ca. 20 seconden aanhield.

Ik geloof normaal niet in buitenaards leven. Maar dit licht kon ik niet verklaren.

Ik vraag me af of dit licht gebruikt is om contact met ons te leggen. De lichtflitsen hadden een soort van pulserend ritme. Alsof het een soort morsecode was.

Ik heb op deze website heel veel interessante verhalen gezien die mijn ogen hebben geopend.

Helaas heb ik geen bewijs of foto's. Wel verwacht ik dat dit licht gaat terugkeren. mede omdat dorpsgenoten soortgelijke onverklaarbare ervaringen hebben gehad.

Ik voel het als mijn plicht om dit te melden. Ik begrijp dat dit wat onwaarschijnlijk klinkt. maar ik weet niet waar ik dit anders kwijt zou kunnen.

Is het de moeite waard om hier verder onderzoek naar te doen? Zelf denk ik eraan een camera te plaatsen die fenomeen mogelijk kan vast leggen.

Tot zover deze ervaring. Bijzonder dat er meer mensen in het dorp dergelijke ervaringen hebben en in dat geval misschien wel de moeite waard om een camera te plaatsen, want ook wij zouden graag die lichtflitsen zien.

White Orb Seen Over New York On Sept 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 26 2016
Location of sighting: New York, New York, USA

This glowing white orb was seen over New York last week and if you watch carefully, you will see it does move to the right. The eyewitness didn't want to give a statement, but you see that it was caught right after sunset. Some are small, but others like the one over Dome of Rock back in 2011 are massive...bus size. For us to see this one, its a good size orb.

Metal Disk Seen Over Isle Of Man With HD Camera, Aug 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Aug 13, 2016
Location of sighting: Isle of Man, Between England/Ireland
Source: MUFON #79544,

This UFO was seen on an island between England and Ireland. The UFO was recorded with an HD camera. The silvery color shows us it is a metallic disk and it looks like it was hiding in the clouds, but caught sight of the passenger jet in the distance and was on its way there to scan them and the technology.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

1. Vacancy on the Isle of Man
2. a different object than visible birds and airplanes in my field of vision
3. UFO
4. When taking pictures of the halo around the sun from the coast towards the sea I glimpse on the left a falling object like a leaf above the sea. Then the object is stabilized and left southbound at an extreme speed Hours of Operation boats on the sea and had observed before. Ouis entered in the clouds and I saw shone but very far. I could take a picture.
5. that it was a new UFO sighting for me and very happy to see a photo that proves is that I saw.
6. the object is gone straight south

NASA Trying To Hide Facts About Alien Life Once Again?

NASA Trying To Hide Facts About Alien Life Once Again?

martian

An apparent crashed flying saucer on Mars has brought more hype to the speculation that NASA may have tried again to cover up some facts. UFO enthusiasts tend to connect UFOs, aliens and NASA every time news about out of this world mysteries break out. Just recently, UFO researcher pointed out a new UFO sighting in one of the pictures taken by Mars Curiosity rover of NASA.

YouTube username Streetcap1 posted the NASA released image in a video showing the alleged crashed UFO in the Martian surface. The uploader of the footage said that the Martian hill anomaly could be a crashed flying saucer, which has a prominent circular form and a raised center.

The object appears to be different from the surrounding rocks and noticeably larger than its surroundings. Some viewers of the video comment that the object has windows. Others believe that it could also be a building built intentionally for a particular purpose – perhaps to get a better look of the area.

Many extraterrestrial researchers believe that photographs captured by Mars Curiosity rover hold clues of alien life and that they may have been caught in photos accidentally. Others believe that those photos are just photoshopped.

The U.S. space agency has been the receiving end of accusations about hiding the truth on extraterrestrial life for multiple instances in the past.

Watch UFO Sighting In Exmouth

ufo

Another mysterious sighting in the sky above Exmouth has been reported over the weekend. The reporting witnesses were a mother and daughter from Exeter Road in Exmouth. They have been left clueless of what they had seen in the sky at around 10:30 pm.

The fifteen-year-old Charlee Davis, a pupil at Exmouth Community College, was with his friend and mother when the light appeared to their view. They went rushing outside and observed the light hovering for two minutes.

They first thought it was a plane until they noted that it wasn’t moving. It stayed in the sky without making any noise. As the object got closer to the witnesses, he saw five lights in diamond shape spinning. It also came to their mind that the UFO could be a drone, but they just could not explain it.

Tanya, Charlee’s mother, said the experience fascinated her as she always got excited about the possibility of other life. Charlee reportedly called Exeter Airport, but they appeared not interested about it and instead gave him another number to call. However, he did not manage to contact the other number.

Charlee said that they saw the UFO from the balcony.

As for Tanya, it wasn’t her first of spotting a strange object in Exmouth sky. She recalled that she remembers running into the bedroom of her parents saying that she had seen a long tube-like object that flew fast towards Woodbury. However, Tanya’s parents told her to sleep.

A few days later, Tanya read a story in the newspaper about a UFO sightings in their area.

Aliens possibly to be found on Europa: NASA

By Cresswell McCoy (staff@latinpost.com)

Europa(Photo : Flickr / Marc Van Norden )

Europa is said to be one of the most appealing bodies in the Solar System, evidence states that Jupiter's sixth closest moon could have Alien existence. With an ocean beneath the chilly crust of Europa NASA states that there could be high possibilities of life.

Where there is water there could be life, but it would take another mission altogether to prove the existence of life on Europa. Results of this existence will be presented from NASAs Europa observing campaign. According toCraigs list Houston; Europa has the potential to have more liquid water than we have on Earth.

This could be the very existence of life, but what is yet to be confirmed is whether this could possibly be an alien homeland. Europa is 1,900 mile wide and contains a vast ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust. The fact of water plumes sprouting out has already been captured by the Hubble space telescope.

The space agency has insisted that aliens have not been found on Europa, but they are pretty certain that due to the vast ocean there could be possibilities or signs of life. The thickness of the frozen crust is still unknown.

NASA is sure to make a mission in the future by sending a spacecraft to land on Europa, this could be the chance to attain the exact picture of happenings on Europa. The mission might take years or possibly more than half a decade but it is sure to happen as stated by The Sun.

With a rocky sea floor, abundance with salt water and energy provided by tidal heating this could be one of the best locations in the solar system to find life beyond our planet. It all boils down to the future mission to prove the existence of alien life, and the earliest a spacecraft could be sent off to Europa could be in 2022.

UFOs in Glasgow which have left people across the world baffled

UFO spotted over Glasgow skyline

Glaswegians are not easily led by tall tales of creatures from other worlds, but sometimes things happen which we just can't explain.

Around 20 UFO sightings across the city have been reported to international UFO logging site MUFON in the past eight years.

And some of the spotters were even able to grab pictures of the UFOs.

Here we examine four of the strangest captured on film.

1. The rapidly moving ball in the sky

Spotters say it moved too fast to be a Chinese lantern

This picture was uploaded in March this year but related to an incident which happened around on Christmas day 2009.

The spotter says they were with a friend in a town near Glasgow and walking towards a residential area when a round, glowing object overhead began moving rapidly towards them.

They say it moved too fast to be a Chinese Lantern and was not a star or a comet.

They posted to MUFON: "It was like nothing we had seen. Much too big to be a star, definitely not a comet, too fast to be a Chinese lantern.

"As it became closer overhead it slowed down and descended before ascending very rapidly and vanishing into the clouds.

"We were both quite scared by it and shaking a little, even though we did not see it close up we both thought because of the direction and speed it was going it may land on top of us.

"We uploaded the photographs that were taken to our computer and they turned out pretty blurry, mainly because the zoom on the camera was not so good and possibly because of the speed of the object.

'It was not a windy evening, quite still and the object made no noise, and had no wings or anything like that."

2. Seasoned stargazer spots UFO through binoculars

Glaswegian stargazer spotted this through his binoculars

A seasoned Glaswegian stargazer, who regularly surveys the heavens through his telescope and binoculars, spotted something very out of the ordinary back in August 2009.

He was examining the skies with his binoculars, when he saw a perfect cube appear, move, accelerate backwards and then disappear.

The spotter said: "I saw a perfect cube appear right before my eyes! I was looking at Zubeneschamali, which is the beta star in Libra, when the cube just came out of nowhere

"Speechless, I quickly spotted it with the binoculars, through which I saw a brilliant perfect cube with an illuminated border.

"It changed colour from blue to aqua-green and stopped cold.

"People have told me it was a satellite but know satellites have a very smooth consistent speed and direction, satellites do not just appear in the sky at a single spot, then progressively drift, speed up, slow down and stop, they definitely do not change colour and noway can they change direction.

"If anything in the sky can reverse directing at sharp angles "instantly" its a fair to say its not man made, the force on the object would rip it apart."

3. Craft with row of lights hiding in the clouds

UFO spotted over Glasgow skyline

If you look towards the left side of this photograph, at the bottom of the clouds, you can see a row of lights which arguably could be a UFO.

The spotter of this craft above the skyline did not notice the lights themselves in the first instance.

It was only later when clearing out his camera that he came saw them and uploaded them to MUFON in 2012.

The spotter said: "On finding these shots I put the image into Photoshop as I wanted to get a clearer look at the image on the left hand side in the clouds.

"I can say there is no way it could be an known aircraft.

"First thing is the size, then the faint out line and the order of the lights are not what I am aware of as standard configurations.

"It had me more than a little shocked."

4. Ball of light over the Kingston Bridge

UFO spotted over Kingston Bridge

The sighting, which took place in October 2015, appeared to show a glowing ball, which the spotter likened to a 'smaller sun' hanging over the Kingston Bridge.

The spotter told MUFON: "it was still a little misty but to the right of the Sun was another really bright object almost like another Sun but maybe half the size.

"I drove of like any other morning but five minutes later when I was facing south again the said object was still there.

"Bemused, I continued to drive but still observing when still in view, the object wasn't moving and remained the same."

We Asked Alien Experts Who They'd Want as President if UFOs Landed

By Mike Pearl

Staff Writer

Still from 'Independence Day'

We can't claim to know what will happen if space aliens land on Earth, but the screenwriters of alien invasion movies have gamed out the possible scenarios for us. On one hand, you have the Independence Day scenario: They try to exterminate us for whatever reason. And I hate to break it to you, but if a civilization is advanced enough to find us and blast us with photon torpedoes, no Will Smith-plus-computer-virus heroics are probably going to save us, and we're all going to die.

The second scenario is a bit like upcoming science-fiction film Arrival : UFOs show up, but until someone can figure out how to communicate with them, no one will have any clue whether the extraterrestrials are saying "Give us all your phosphorus before we blast you with our super laser," or, "Here's a quick and easy recipe for unlimited energy." Guessing wrong means interstellar war.

In either situation, as the leader of Earth's only superpower, the president of the United States will have a lot of responsibility should aliens land. He or she will either be leading the (again, probably doomed) fight against the extraterrestrials a la Bill Pullman inIndependence Day or working on brokering a billion-year peace deal with the people of Squidulon-5 or whatever. Those are the highest possible stakes—either human slaves in the Saharan phosphorus mines will be cursing your name in 2528, or you will be remembered as the greatest and most important diplomat in Earth's 4.5 billion year history.

The chance of us making first contact with aliens between 2016 and 2020 is remote, but if we did, who would you want in the Oval Office? To figure it out, I reached out to some of the best minds in the world of extraterrestrial research. These experts—three researchers in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) field and one UFOlogist—gave me some pretty interesting answers. Sometimes they were pretty vague, but it doesn't sound like any of them are eager to Make Earth Great Again.

Dan Werthimer, Chief SETI Scientist at the UC Berkeley Department of Astronomy

VICE: Does it make sense to raise the issue of what to do about an alien landing in the presidential election?
Dan Werthhimer: I think people should start thinking about the consequences of communicating with other civilizations. There are potentially great outcomes: We could learn a lot, and there are potentially bad outcomes. We could learn about technologiesthat would be good for weapons, or something like that. So it would be good to start thinking about how the world is going to deal with this and who should speak for Earth—and if we should reply, who's going to reply, and how do we draft that sort of message. It's good to think about that ahead of time, because it could be chaos if we ever find a signal.

Is one major candidate better in your opinion?
I think [Donald Trump] makes a lot of off-the-cuff remarks, many of which he later says, "Oh that was a joke," but that's the kind of thing that could get us in a war, or a nuclear war or something. Especially when you're coming into contact with different cultures, or even different civilizations, you need to be careful about what you say, and how it could be misconstrued. We need to go about these things much more carefully than Trump does with that stuff.

What could go wrong if Trump is in office and aliens show up?
It's likely the first civilization we contact will be way more advanced than we are. We cannot contact them now if they're primitive civilizations—or if they're still bacteria or trees. It's unlikely that we'll discover a civilization that's just discovered radio like we have—we've only had radio for 100 years. The more likely scenario is we discover civilizations that are billions of years old that have been talking to one another. You get on the galactic internet and learn about the thousands of other civilizations that can talk to one another—or billions. Our sun is 5 billion years old, and some stars are 10 billion years old. So you can imagine very advanced civilizations.

You want to go about these things carefully and put your best foot forward—there can be dangers. If these civilizations are way more advanced, then presumably they'll have technology that is way more advanced than ours. Hopefully they'll learn to live together in peace—I grew up in the 60s, and I thought everybody was a flower child, and we were all gonna live together happily. But that might be naïve! There could be the Borg out there or something. So you don't want somebody like Trump shooting off his mouth, and people misunderstanding what he intended. I can imagine during the Cuban Missile Crisis if Trump had been our president. He could have obliterated the planet by mistake with nuclear weapons.

Andrew Siemion, Director of the Berkeley SETI Research Center

VICE: What qualities do we want in a president if aliens land?
Andrew Siemion: I think imagining what might happen if a civilization were to visit Earth would be difficult to predict, and I think all the declared candidates have their pros and cons. I don't know that I would venture a particular person on a declared ticket to be my favorite. Suffice to say that they all have pros and cons, depending what another civilization might be like.

But what do you know about the candidates on this issue?
I do know that Hillary has expressed some interest in the topic, and that's very heartening. But I think, again, it's very difficult to predict what another civilization might be like. And it's hard to predict what kind of leader would be best suited to deal with such a situation—but my hope would be that were we to actually make contact with another civilization that it would be a unifying moment for the whole world. Not just for the United States, but for the whole world, and we could all come together to address that challenge, or revel in that discovery, whether we're Democrats or Republicans or other.

Are you saying hostility is a very real possibility?
It's very difficult to predict what another intelligent species in the galaxy, or indeed in the universe, might be like. Some people think technological developments and altruism are kind of tied together, and the more technologically advanced a species becomes the more altruistic or friendly it becomes. We don't really have any good evidence for that. In fact, we kind of have evidence to the contrary. So it's really hard for us to predict what another civilization might be like. At SETI, we're just trying to listen for signals. We're not expressly trying to make contact per se, at least overtly.

Preston Dennett, UFO Investigator and Author

VICE: Which candidate should be president of the United States if aliens land?
Preston Dennett: Ha! That's an interesting question. I would pick Hillary because she's had more foreign policy experience. She has also been photographed carrying a book about UFOs, and her husband has read UFOs Over Roswell, so I'm guessing she knows about UFOs.

Paul Horowitz, Experimental Astrophysics at Harvard

VICE: Which candidate should be president of the United States if aliens land?
Paul Horowitz: That's such a no-brainer!

Why?
Well, I'd want one, someone of statesman-like, upstanding character—like Walter Cronkite, or [Barack] Obama, or Colin Powell, or Gandhi—and two, someone who would seek the counsel and accumulated wisdom of social scientists, historians, linguists, and astronomers. Clearly, one [candidate] fails spectacularly at both. Some may argue that the other, though she would do nicely on number two, does not really satisfy number one. Without stating my opinion on that—and given your constraint that it has to be a choice [between existing candidates]—it's obvious.

Amazing Alien Craft Close Encounter In Australia

(Before It's News)

AMAZING ALIEN CRAFT CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA

DECEMBER 10,1998 ………….. JIMBOOMBA QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA

The three observers saw a big intense orange-red glowing upside down soup bowl or hemispheric light in the east (towards sea) at about an 65 Deg elevation which then moved towards them and rose in fluid fashion vertically above them whilst hemisphere changed colour to intense bright red (similar colour to setting sun). They could look straight up at 90 Deg into the base of the brightly glowing “bulb” of red light, which was so intense it hurt their eyes. Multi coloured lights (like clear house lights) then began to flash from a flat structure now visible on top of the red hemisphere (possibly the top structure rotated?). The red hemisphere or “bulb” was seen to be attached underneath and in centre of a huge sort of dark Boomerang cum Equilateral Triangle shaped wing-form (one of observers familiar with F117A and B2 stated object was similar but much bigger and definitely not one of those – more like a very big Jumbo Jet in size – but flew totally unlike any aircraft he had ever seen). Object hovered stopped dead in the sky, or moved slowly and then at times rapidly, and all times fluidly, from location to location. Craft was at times surrounded by a sort of green haze and local air space near craft glowed with either intense green or white light at various times. Flashing multicoloured lights seen at times on the top large dark wing structure consisted of orange-red-green-yellow-blue-silver etc. and appeared to originate all over this top structure. Lower central orange-red hemisphere or “bulb” glowed intense red at times and at other moments was more orange in colour.

The three observers thought there were possibly small rotating red lights on both sides at front of flat wing structure with small white lights at triangle apexes. As object came down over the observers from the east it moved towards their southwest and flashed all over with multiple coloured lights and then began to glow with a green haze.

The now four observers (one woken up to see the show) observed the object lower with a bright green haze around it to about a 45 Deg elevation to their southwest. It then hovered dead in the sky. A bright pure white light haze was then emitted from the object and the space nearby and lit up the entire surrounding area and the ground. There was no light coming from the ground – it was all derived from the object and the air space near it. Just after object passed overhead they heard a light dull humming swishing noise – otherwise no noise in most of event. One observer remarked it was unlike a normal plane where sound preceded object. In this case sound followed it’s movement and there was NO sound as it moved towards them or whilst it maneuvered – only when it stopped or went directly over and past them could they hear the dull hum.

The object then moved from it’s location to their southwest and went around them to their south and thence back to the east (i.e. it did not approach Ipswich RAAF base which lies some 38km. to their northwest and 35km wsw of Brisbane).

As it moved east it started flashing blue-red – possibly spinning? The base “bulb” began to pulse and flash blood red and the top lights flashed multicolours – all simultaneously. The object moved slowly for some time then it picked up speed dramatically fast and disappeared from sight in dark cloud to the east from whence it had come. There was no rain, no lightning or any storm of any kind before during or after the event that night, but it was cloudy to the east. Their mobile phone was useless from just before they first saw the object for about one hour – well after object had left the area. The mobile phone just emitted intense static with a highly disturbed signal. The house phone was also useless for about 45 minutes during the incident and after, and emitted a very loud crackling noise for the 45 minutes of down time.

NB Ross Dowe confirmed that whilst they rang him with their mobile it was impossible to hear them clearly due to intense static – he could just make out their phone number – this was about one hour after their UFO-light event had finished. They claim not being able to contact anyone by either mobile or house phone for nearly one hour after the event. They finally were able to reach the RAAF who gave them Ross Dowe’s number.

They had their own electric lights off with no TV or radio or electrical appliances on during the event. They were finishing up their evening with candles on the verandah. Neighbours electric lights appeared to be unaffected during the entire event. They do not know what happened to TV and Radio transmissions during the event. Whilst the object was around the township of Jimboomba the neighbourhood dogs were going berserk barking and howling and their own dog was “very frisky”. The event put the hairs up on their own necks during the close overflight. The interviewer detected no symptoms of alcohol or narcotics in each of the observers – over the telephone interview.

Each person independently interviewed and each verified general aspects of entire event. NB. Similar events involving huge “BFT’s”, or reports of very large Manta-Ray/outfolded “Rose Petal” or “Daisy Petal” black winged craft with many lights were reported beginning 4-Dec-98 City Beach Perth WA, 7-Dec-98 Melbourne Victoria. 10-Dec-98 Darwin NT, 10-Dec-98 North Queensland. These are currently being investigated and will be reported as soon as all facts are in. Some events are at night, others by day, some clear skies, some in electrical storms, and some in cloudy conditions. No military maneuver known to be in progress – but this is being checked.

NB somewhat similar electrical events in North Queensland previously attributed to US Military Exercises and use of EM blanketing device from Stealth aircraft?

Conclusion: Event represents Danger to Australian Airspace and Civilians

[VIDEO] Would NASA be able to prevent extraterrestrial contamination on Earth?

There is a huge possibility that alien life from extraterrestrial worlds may contaminate Earth, and microorganisms from the Earth may contaminate celestial objects.

By Guneet Bhatia

IN SPACE - MAY 25: In this handout illustration provided by NASA/JPL, an artist's conception of the Phoenix Mars Lander on the Red Planet. Phoenix is slated to land on Mars on May 25, 2008. Launched in the summer of 2007 the lander will join the twin Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity and will study whether permafrost could have supported primitive life on the planet. (Photo : NASA/JPL via Getty Images)

Alien hunters and UFO enthusiasts get excited by the mere though of finding extraterrestrial life some day. However, there are hundreds of contamination risks associated with such space missions conducted by NASA and other space agencies around the world.

Sending astronauts to Mars or Jupiter in search of alien life sounds fancy. However, considering the variety of organisms with extreme capabilities that Earth harbour, there are huge chances that the astronauts may end up contaminating the environment of the celestial body in question.

According to Daily Galaxy, some form of microbial life from the Earth may be able to multiply and divide quickly in the hospitable environment of the other planets. As a result, the astronauts may notice a "false positive" for extraterrestrial life, which is actually Earth's own life form invading the other planet or moon.

That is, alien life from extraterrestrial world should not be able to reach back on Earth along with the samples collected by the astronauts. There is a huge possibility that alien life may reside themselves in the body of the astronauts returning back on Earth, and hence contaminate Earth's original life form.

The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 signed by different countries involved in space mission is major effort made in the direction of contamination prevention, according to National Geographic. It has a draft of guidelines that each space agency must follow to reduce extraterrestrial contamination, according to the type of mission that it is conducting.

NASA has also developed strong guidelines to make the best use of its existing anti-germ warfare. The components of a mission are assembles carefully in a closed room and thoroughly cleaned with alcohol. The parts are baked to kill all the spores. In addition, special care is taken to land the spacecraft in a location which is far away from the possibly "hospitable" surfaces.

However, it is not the only thing that concerns the research team. Cassie Conley, head of NASA's Office of Planetary Protection, believes that the other way around is also possible. Consley says that it is the responsibility of the American space agency to ensure that backward contamination is not a possibility.

UFO sightings, cases and close encounters with the first kind

By SAbir Hussai

This week let us analyze Close Encounters of the First Kind, the most common as well as easily prone to misunderstanding type of UFO encounters. Since the 1940s millions of people all over the world have reported this kind of UFO encounter.

When a person says he saw an UFO then we can say he had a Close Encounter of the First Kind, provided the UFO sighting must have occurred within a distance of 500 feet, so that the individual could have a clear view of the target. If there are other eye witness from the same area and radar evidence, then this sighting becomes a very strong one.

Of all the sources of information about UFOs eye witness accounts is the largest. But we have to be very careful when dealing with it, because it is also one of the most misleading. As Friedman points out just because you saw something fly in the sky which you couldn’t identify, doesn’t mean it is a flying saucer from another world. All UFOs are not Flying Saucers, but some certainly are.

The great majority of UFOs sighted can be explained as IFOs- Identifiable Flying Objects- Astronomical phenomena like planets, meteors and comets. Atmospheric phenomena like Aurora Borealis, ball lightening, and reflections from fog and mist. Advertising blimps, balloons, clouds, contrails, magnesium flares, migrating birds, kites, insect swarms, fireworks, swamp gas, dust devils, elevated streetlights, lights from cars, beacons, unmanned Arial Vehicles, military test crafts, re-entering satellites and rocket launchings.

Even after considering all the above possibilities there is a significant percentage of sighting which cannot be explained. The fact that these sightings come from highly qualified military pilots and radar operators is what adds to their legitimacy. Since the 1940s hundreds of pilots both civilian and military have had this kind of encounters. 1952 UFO sightings over Washington, New York Hudson Valley UFO sightings in 1980, Belgium UFO sightings in 1989-90, Moscow sightings in 1990, Mexico sightings in 1991 and Stephenville Texas are some of the best authenticated incidents of Close Encounters of the First Kind.

One of the best instances of Close Encounters of the First Kind occurred in 1986 over the skies of several states in south-eastern Brazil. As many as twenty UFOs were seen and tracked by ground radar and at least six airplanes during the night of May 19. Two F-5E and three Mirage jet fighters were scrambled from Santa Cruz and Anápolis Air Force Bases. The case was discussed openly by high ranking government officials and reported widely in the Brazilian media, leading to a press conference at the Ministry of Aeronautics in Brasilia on May 23, where air traffic controllers and air force pilots involved in the chase gave testimony.

The Minister of Aeronautics, Brigadier General Otávio Moreira Lima, stated that on the night of 19th and early morning of 20th May, 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 clouds. There were no clouds or any other conventional aircraft in the region. The sky was clear. Radar doesn’t have optical illusions and the signals on the radar were quite clear. The accounts of air force pilots and radar controllers confirmed this.

The message from the American Defense Attaché Office in Rio to the Defense Intelligence Agency stated Brazilian Air Force had a Close Encounter of the First Kind. Three visual sightings and positive radar contact from three different types of radar systems, leads one to believe that something arrived over Brazil the night of 19 May. This something was not the product of human mind.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN HILLARY CLINTON ADDRESSES THE UFO/ET QUESTION AS PRESIDENT

ARJUN WALIA

When Daymond Steer of the Conway Sun asked Hillary about her husband’s comments on UFOs, she said, “I think we may have been” visited already, but “we don’t know for sure.” She also told Steer that her campaign chairman, John Podesta (also former councillor to Barack Obama and White House Chief of Staff for the Clinton Administration), has encouraged her to pursue the subject, stating that he “has made me personally pledge we are going to get the information out.”

Podesta has gone on record about this issue multiple times; at the end of his 2014 campaign he tweeted that his biggest regret was not being able to “secure the disclosure of UFO files.” You can read more about thathere.

He also wrote the forward to Leslie Kean’s 2010 New York Times bestseller, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, & Government Officials Go On The Record:

I’m skeptical about many things, including the notion that government always knows best, and that the people can’t be trusted with the truth. 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.

lawrence

The photo to your left has been circulating the internet for years and was just published by the New York Times. Pictured with Hillary is Laurence Rockefeller, who maintained an active interest in UFOs and has supported the work and investigations of various people in the field. (source).

The book Clinton is holding, titled Are We Alone?, was written by Paul Davies, a well-respected American physicist who has held professorships at various universities. Most of his research has related to quantum field theory. The book considers the ramifications of contact with intelligent extraterrestrials.

The above is merely a brief summary of Hillary and her team’s interest in the UFO phenomenon, a subject that continues to gain attention with every passing year. Since Hillary is the presidential favourite, the question has been asked and she has replied.

In a recent appearance on the popular Jimmy Kimmel show, she was asked about UFOs, and her reply was as follows:

There’s a new name, it’s unexplained aerial phenomenon (UAP). UAP, that’s the latest nomenclature. . . . I would like us to go into those files, and, hopefully make as much of that public as possible. If there’s nothing there, let’s tell people there’s nothing there. If there is something there, unless it’s a threat to national security, I think we oughtta share it with the public.

But Wait….

First of all, it’s important to recognize that dozens of countries have already released their ‘UFO’ files, and these comprise thousands of pages of documents. Obviously, there is something there. The UK, for example, released their latest batch in June 2013, and you can access those here. Considering that a number of countries have followed suit, I think it’s safe to assume that the United States also has files in its archives that have yet to be released to the public, which is what Jon Podesta was referring to when he expressed his regret at being unable to “secure the disclosure of UFO files.”

“The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data. Maybe when this group of nations acquires more precise and definite information, it will be possible to release the news to the world.”

– General Carlos Castro Cavero, Spanish Air Force General (a statement given to the world in the 1970s)

Via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), however, intelligence agencies in the United States have released some UFO documents already. These files are extensive, and like those released by various countries, they detail hundreds (if not thousands) of military encounters with UFOs and how these objects are tracked on ground radar, air radar, and seen by the pilots sent to intercept them. Here is a classic defence intelligence agency file, one out of thousands of examples.

Dr. Jacques Vallee, a scientist notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA, and for his work at SRI International on the network information center for ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet, published a paper in the Journal of Scientific Exploration titled “Estimates of Optical Power Output in Six Cases Of Unexplained Aerial Objects With Defined Luminosity Characteristics.” He outlines more examples of such encounters that have been made public, describing how these objects, which are tracked on radar, interfere with the critical systems of the military jets sent to investigate.

Additionally, we have hundreds of statements from very high ranking intelligence, defence, and political figures. You can view some of these statements at the bottom of this article, which we published a few months ago.

“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, Ets, etc. . . . They are visiting Earth NOW; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.”

– Theodore C. Loder III, Phd, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)

Why We Can’t Trust Government UFO Disclosure (The Most Important Thing To Remember)

It’s a sad state of affairs when we believe nothing until it has been confirmed by the government, the president, or the media. Mainstream media tells us what to think and what to feel, what is real and what is not. As a result, a lot of important information does not reach the general public, which is not only a shame but downright dangerous, clearly demonstrating our inability to think for ourselves.

A growing number of people are starting to see through the facade, however, and losing faith in information that Western governments and mainstream media put forth. A great example is the so-called ‘war on terror,’ the validity of which many people have begun to question. It is now becoming clear that this war is based on false premises meant to justify the invasion of other countries and a heightened national security state. (You can read more about this topic and ‘false flag’ terrorism here).

There are countless examples, and reputable journalists have also come forth emphasizing this fact. You can see some examples here. The CIA’s operation ‘mockingbird‘ has never really stopped.

It’s clear that the majority of people distrust their government, so why should we be any different when it comes to UFOs? If we can count on anything, it is that these elite groups will manipulate the truth of events around the world for their own purposes. Don’t get me wrong — the UFO phenomenon is undoubtedly real, but we should be wary of any ‘official disclosure’ when it arrives. We can’t rely on official sources to offer up the whole truth, or a truth unpolluted by corporate and other agendas.

It is always important to do your own research. As Dr. Brian O’Leary, former NASA astronaut and Princeton physics professor told us, “there is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time.” (source)

Enough statements, documents, and whistleblower testimony are out there for you to come to your own conclusions about this phenomenon. And when it comes time for official government disclosure, it might be a good idea to avoid the television altogether.

If you’d like to read more of our articles on the subject, which deal with UFOs, possible friendly/’un-freindly’ contact, and other related topics (such as physics, paradigm shift, human origin, and more), you can visit the exopolitics section of our website and browse through that entire archive.

SETI scientist claims: If Aliens did visit us, they’d take control over everything

One thing is sure… if aliens came to Earth, we surely wouldn’t have the upper hand say scientists, who agree that an Alien species with such advanced technology could prove to be difficult to contain.

Are we ready for contact?

But are we ready to greet our cosmic neighbors? Not as different nations but as ONE species from planet Earth?

Many people believe that intelligent extraterrestrial beings are out there somewhere, and many firmly state that, the time when we actually meet them, we might be in for a surprise as it might not end up like in the famous movie E.T.

Jill Tarter, astronomer, and co-founder of the SETI Institute said that if aliens visit our planet, they could take control of everything thanks to their clearly superior technology. However, Tarter added that aliens capable of finding Earth may be co-operative…

“If they showed up on our doorstep, that means they have technologies that are considerably advanced with respect to ours.” “And because of that, they’re going to be the ones that set the rules,” Tarter said in an article published by TechCrunch.

However, she adds that an Alien civilizations capable of developing such sophisticated technology, which enables them to overcome the obstacle of vast interstellar distances. Would probably make them more benevolent than hostile, since by then they would have learned to behave peacefully in order to prevent their own annihilation.

This neutral-benevolent attitude of extraterrestrial visitors has already been proposed by scientists in different countries based on thorough analysis of extensive historical and modern documents.

SETI’s project ‘search for extraterrestrial intelligence’, currently continues its search for radio waves and optical signals in the universe that can indicate the presence of other civilizations. In this regard, in an exercise of sincerity, Dr. Tarter admitted: “Perhaps we have not yet invented the correct way to do this.”

Or perhaps we have to continue searching. Talking about Alien life and why we haven’t found it yet, Tarter explained: „if you set the search space equal to the size of the Earth’s oceans, we’ve only examined one glass of water from those oceans for intelligent life. We’ve only looked at one small part of a very large picture.“

Along the same lines, Dr. Nathalie Cabrol, a colleague of Tarter, said in September last year that an alien civilization might be trying to contact us, but humans could be “too primitive to see those signs.”

And as the great Carl Sagan once said… “The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” ― Carl Sagan in Contact

But many other scientists have spoken out about the possible presence of Alien beings in the cosmos and their benevolent or hostile reactions when arriving at Earth.

One of the most famous quotes in modern times in regards to Alien visitations to Earth comes from the Great Professor Stephen Hawking who said that when Aliens arrive at earth, the outcome could be very similar to when Christopher Columbus et foot in the New World.

“If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.” – Stephen Hawking

An interesting statement was made last year when Astronaut John Grunsfeld spoke out about aliens suggesting that if extraterrestrial beings are out there, they already know we exist.

‘We put atmospheric signatures that guarantee someone with a large telescope 20 light years away could detect us,’ said Grunsfeld at the Astrobiology Science Conference in Chicago.

‘If there is life out there, intelligent life, they’ll know we’re here.’

Alien life on Mars did exist? European Space Agency reveals stunning details

Did alien life once exist here? According to reports, in the distant past ‘huge amounts’ of water passed through this area on Mars. Beginning at a higher elevation region and spilling into the northern plains, scientists say these features can be clearly seen at the lower right and top left of the image, respectively. Image credit: ESA/DLR/FU Berlin, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO

Mawrth Vallis is one of the largest valleys on the red planet and experts claim it may have been HABITABLE up to 3.6 billion years ago.

According to reports, Mawrth Vallis on Mars once had MASSIVE amounts of water passing through the area, during a time when the red planet was eerily similar to Earth.

The European Space Agency has published new images of what many are calling a remarkable discovery of a swirling valley on Mars, which could potentially become one of the main landing sites for ExoMars 2020.

The new photographs of Mars captured by the Mars Express show us a region of over 205,000 square miles where once ancient water carved different shapes on the surface of the planet.

With a staggering 600 km in length and up to 2 km in depth, this valley is one of the most massive valleys on the planet.

Large amounts of water once passed through it from a higher region, part of which appears in the lower right corner of the photograph, flowing towards the plains of the northern parts, which are seen in the upper left corner of the image.

Among the most notorious figures, we find large amounts of phyllosilicates (eroded clay minerals) marked with a brighter color throughout the course of the valley.

But most importantly, Phyllosilicates on Mars tell us that in the distant past, liquid water existed on the planet in great amounts and that Mars may have been a habitable environment some 3,600 million years ago.

According to reports from the European Space Agency, remains of volcanic ash is visible in the form of dark cap rock and may have protected traces of ancient living organisms in the clay.

In order to come up with this fascinating image of Mars, scientists joined nine images taken by the high-resolution camera on board the Mars Express.

It is noteworthy to mention that everything about Mars has changed with recent discoveries. Earlier this year, scientists found that Mars once had more water than the Arctic Ocean and the oceans were present on the surface of Mars for a period of over 1.5 billion years, enough for life as we know it to develop.

The finding discovered that over the past 3.7 billion years, Mars lost around 57 percent of its water.

Sharon Wilson from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington said “We discovered valleys that carried water into lake basins. Several lake basins filled and overflowed, indicating there was a considerable amount of water on the landscape during this time.”

Massive temple discovered on Mars ‘identical’ to an ancient Japanese tomb

According to satellite images from the red planet, there is a massive temple on Mars that is ‘identical’ to an ancient Japanese tomb.

There are some truly fascinating things on Mars. A baffling structure located on the surface of Mars eerily resembles a massive temple on Earth, and UFO hunters claim there is a mindboggling connection between the two.

In the last couple fo years, intriguing theories have been proposed suggesting that in the distant past a catastrophic event or nuclear war destroyed a sophisticated Martian civilization, forcing its survivors to migrate to Earth and restart civilization.

Now, UFO hunters have discovered a structure on the red planet whose apparent geometry is eerily similar to a temple located on Earth.

The enigmatic structure visible on numerous satellite images of the red planet displays staggering similarities to the ancient Japanese tomb of Kofun.

While there are numerous images of alleged structure on Mars that can easily be dismissed as pareidolia, the massive ‘Martian Monument’ has fascinating similarities to the funerary complex in Japan, raising speculations that an ancient civilization did in fact inhabit Mars, perhaps millions of years ago.

The massive structure on the surface of the red planet is visible on Google Earth (Mars) by entering the following coordinates: 6° 3’57.07″N 92° 4’13.22″E.

To see the similarity between the alleged structure on Mars, visit Google Earth and type in the following coordinates: 36° 7’45.64″N 139°28’52.95″E, which will take you to the Japanese tomb.

A YouTube user who posted a video online believes the similarities between the two structures can only mean one thing: An ancient civilization once existed on Mars, and we are looking at its remains today.

Many UFO researchers agree and claim that the structure identified on Mars probably went through millions of years of erosion, but it’s clearly visible shape is a definitive tell-tale sign that an ancient race most likely inhabited Mars.

“The keyhole-shaped mound looks incredibly similar to what we have here in Japan, says a YouTube user during the video. There are many interesting things about this mound that we found on Mars. First of all, it is a massive structure, and it appears in a very isolated, flat empty plain. The sides of the structure have straight edges that run down to a large circular dot formation at its base. Just like the one we have here in Japan.”

Interestingly, despite the fact that there are many structures that can be dismissed easily as being natural formations, the two structures exhibit remarkable symmetry.

However, at the insistence of some users, NASA has taken the trouble to respond to alleged claims about the artificial structure on Mars.

The U.S. space agency explained that the straight edges are the result of fractures or a natural hill forming a solid ground that has undergone changes and erosion for billions of years.

Many people disagree with NASA and indicate the similarities cannot go unperceived, and we are looking at the remains of a once mighty Martian civilization that most likely disappeared millions of years ago, after a catastrophic nuclear war took place there, as Dr. Brandenburg suggests.

Dr. John Brandenburg believes that an old Martian civilization was wiped from the face of Mars in the distant past.

Dr. John Brandenburg has a Ph.D. in Theoretical Plasma Physics from the University of California, and he is currently working as a plasma physicist at Orbital Technologies in Madison Wisconsin.

According to Dr. Brandenburg, ancient Martians known as Cydonians and Utopians were massacred in the giant nuclear attack – and evidence of the genocide can still be seen today.

According to scientists, there are very large traces of Xenon-129 on Mars and the only process that we know that produces Xenon-129 is a nuclear explosion.

NASA AND RUSSIA RECEIVED THREE DETAILED MESSAGES FROM ALIEN PLANET

In an attempt, to reach Earth, an alien species sent out three detailed messages.

NASA and Russia were the first to get them and the findings are beginning to baffle scientists. When astronomers first felt the spike in radio signals from a distant star, they were all too excited.

The sources of this signal came from the sun-like star called HD 164595. Not exactly a catchy name but that’s not the point here. This star is from constellation Hercules nearly 95 light years away.

Seti scientists hope to hear more from the star by using the Allen Telescope Array, a huge system that can be used to look for messages that indicate alien intelligence.

It was pointed towards the star over the weekend but has not as yet found any signal. “However, we have not yet covered the full range of frequencies in which the signal could be located, if it’s of far narrower bandwidth than the Russian 1 GHz receiver,” Seti wrote.

NEW EVIDENCE THAT THE SPHINX PREDATES THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION

The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most well-known and enigmatic structures that the world has ever known and many in public have been told over the years that the Sphinx was built by the Egyptians. Interestingly, new evidence could suggest that an alien culture that predates the ancient Egyptian Civilization had a role to play.

No concrete examples of data about the purpose, origin or accurate age of the Sphinx exist in history so far to completely suggest that the ancient Egyptians did it all themselves. Evidence even suggests the Giza plateau was heavily flooded in the past leading to possible credence for Noah’s Ark.

At 241 feet long and 66 feet high, the Great Sphinx of Giza is confirmed as the largest monolith statue on the Planet Earth. The Great Sphinx is believed to have been discovered in AD 1817 when the first modern archaeological dig by Giovanni Battista Caviglia found the Sphinx’s chest and lower body underneath the sand

THE SPHINX COULD BE AROUND 800,000 YEARS OLD

Antediluvian civilizations are advanced societies that existed before the Great Flood.

Could an ancient culture that existed and flourished on the River Nile before the rise of the Ancient Egyptian Civilization? Well, Ukrainian researchers and scientists have said that the monument could be around 800,000 years old.

Physical evidence has been shown of water erosion at the Giza Plateau in regards to its monuments like the Sphinx which is truly important for researchers as this shows possible signs that the Sphinx and the well-known pyramids were once submerged under water.

No written texts exist in detail about the Sphinx to confirm why and who carved the great monument. In some scriptures from the Egyptians. The sphinx is referred to as balhib and bilhaw and even as Hor-em-akht which can be roughly translated to Horus in the Horizon or the Place of Horus .

Elon Musk reveals his interplanetary masterplan that will take man to Mars in 80 days

Elon Musk, the genius behind Tesla Motors, Solar City and SpaceX has finally revealed his interplanetary master plan that will take man to Mars in 80 days, allowing the human species to become an interplanetary species and colonize the red planet.

“It’s kind of like Battlestar Galactica.”

Speaking at the International Astronautical Congress in Mexico today, Elon Musk revealed what many are calling the most ambitious space plan ever, a sophisticated interplanetary transportation system that could take mankind to the surface of the red planet in just 80 days in order to build a fully sustainable human colony on Mars with a population of around ONE MILLION people.

Ever since the foundation of SpaceX, Elon Musk said that the ultimate goal of the company was to develop the necessary technology that would allow mankind to colonize other planets in our solar system and the rest of the universe eventually.

More than 14 years after the founding of SpaceX, Musk has revealed details that would allow the human species to settle on another planet, beyond the confines of Earth.

Mars, get ready for humans

The futuristic, sensational and daring announcement was made at the IAC -International Astronautical Congress, held in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Elon Musk dreams big, and in order to take man to Mars and colonize the red planet, we need to develop a big rocket. Really Big. Massive.

In fact, that rocket would need to be so massive that the Saturn V rocket that took mankind to the moon looks like a toy beside it.

To get an idea of the size of the rocket that will eventually get us to Mars, we only have to take a look at the rocket booster that according to Musk would have a staggering diameter of 12m and have 49 engines. The special shuttle which would transport future astronauts would have a diameter of 17 meters. The height of the entire rocket would have a staggering 122 meters. In comparison, the rocket booster of the Saturn V rocket had a diameter of 10 meters.

A massive transportation system

According to initial reports, up to 100 people can travel in each mission although Musk says that SpaceX hopes to increase that number to 200 in order reduce traveling costs: “In a hundred years we will have the necessary manpower to become a sustainable community.” in addition to all of the above, 42 Raptor engines would complete Musk’s fascinating plan.

As you can see, it seems that Musk has it all figured out. The man behind SpaceX wants us to go to Mars and wants us to make it possible in this generation. Musk says that we must become a multi-planetary civilization if we do not want to become extinct on Earth. In order to become a “multi-planetary” civilization, the first step is to build a city on Mars, a place that has the right conditions for establishing a colony.

“Someday soon, there will be an extinction event on Earth,” Musk said. So we can either sit around and wait for that to hit. “Or, the alternative is to become a spacefaring species.”

This image illustrates how exactly SpaceX wants to take us to Mars:

However, one of the problems that we face as a spacefaring civilization is the cost associated with the mission. According to Musk, with conventional technology, landing a man on Mars would cost about $ 10 billion.

“You can’t create a self-sustaining civilization if the ticket price is $10 billion a person.”
“If we can get the cost to moving to Mars roughly equivalent to the median house price in the US, which is around $200,000, then the probability of establishing a self-sustaining civilization is pretty high,” he said.
“We have to figure out how to improve the cost to [traveling to Mars] by 5 million percent,” Musk said. “This is not easy.”

SpaceX’s Mars rocket would be way bigger — and costlier — than anything built before it.

(SpaceX)

“The ship goes to Mars, gets replenished, and then returns to Earth,” he says. There would be maybe a thousand ships in orbit at once. “Kind of like Battlestar Galactica,” he says.

So what about fuel on Mars? Well, Musk was actually very clear: to bring materials from Earth would increase the cost per launch, which ultimately makes the price of traveling to Mars over $ 200,000. So what should we do? According to Musk Methane is the answer. Methane is much more suitable than kerosene or hydrogen and could be the ultimate replacement we are looking for.

“Producing propellant on Mars is obviously important,” he explained. “It would be pretty absurd to try to build a city on Mars if your spaceships kept staying on Mars. You would have this massive graveyard of ships.”

But we don’t just want to get to Mars, we want to terraform it

Interestingly, Musk also talked about Mars as a planet and how we should look to make it more optimal for humans. What does that mean? It’s simple: TERRAFORMING. WE can actually terraform the red planet by releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which would eventually make the red planet heat up, and bring back more liquid water to the surface of Mars, which in turn would make it more habitable for humans.

“If we could warm Mars up, we would once again have a thick atmosphere and warm oceans,” he said.

Hillary Clinton's campaign chair thinks the U.S. should open its files on UFOs

Politicians usually don't want to talk about it, but they shouldn't be ashamed, John Podesta says.

BY ARIK HESSELDAHL

Asa Mathat

The chair of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign thinks the U.S. government should open up its files on UFO sightings.

John Podesta, the onetime chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, told Recode's Kara Swisher andVox's Ezra Klein onstage Thursday at the Code Conference that he's an unapologetic champion of efforts to press the government to open up about what is known about UAPs, or "unidentified aerial phenomena."

"There are a lot of unexplained series of events around the world, and politicians in governments tend to think that it's not a career-enhancer to talk about them," Podesta said.

A self-described science fiction fan, Podesta said that after leaving the White House, he became involved with a Freedom of Information Act case to declassify government files on reports on the 1969 crash of an aircraft in Pennsylvania that has never been explained. There are theories, he said, that it may have been a Soviet aircraft, and that there is evidence that the U.S. Air Force conducted an investigation into it. "Most of the files have disappeared," he said.

"Rather than being embarrassed and ashamed about it ... I say let's open it up to the public," he said. "I meet a lot of politicians in Washington who say to me that 'we're with you but we can't say it in public.'"

GESCHROKKEN ALIEN RENT NAAR RUIMTESCHIP EN RENT WEG ( VIDEO )

GESCHROKKEN ALIEN RENT NAAR RUIMTESCHIP EN RENT WEG ( VIDEO )

NAAR

In het Joshua Tree National Park in Amerika heeft een bezoeker iets heel merkwaardigs gefilmd.

Wat precies is niet duidelijk, maar het lijkt op een klein wezen dat snel wegrent en even daarna vliegt daadwerkelijk een onbekend object met grote snelheid weg.

De volgende opname is gemaakt in het Joshua Tree National Park in de Amerikaanse staat Californië.

Het Joshua Tree National Park is een nationaal park in het zuiden van de staat Californië in de Verenigde Staten, ten oosten van het gebied tussen Los Angeles en San Diego (ten noorden van Palm Springs). De afmetingen zijn ongeveer 100 km van oost naar west, en 50 km van noord naar zuid.

Volgens de getuige:

We bevonden ons ongeveer een kwartier in het Joshua Tree National Park toen we bij een groepje bomen kwamen en stopten om deze te filmen.

Ik begon met het filmen van het landschap en bewoog langzaam naar rechts, stopte en wilde weer terug naar links.

Net voordat ik dat deed, zie je op de film een wolkje stof omhoog komen bij één van de bomen en even later zie je een klein object rechts weg schieten.

Op de volgende foto zie je linksboven de plek waar de stofwolk werd waargenomen, rechts de uitvergroting van wat daar te zien was en linksonder de plek vanwaar het object even later wegschoot.

xxx

Op de twee afbeeldingen hieronder zie je het object met grote snelheid vertrekken.

xxx

De man die het heeft gefilmd, is driftig op zoek geweest naar verklaringen, maar heeft die nog niet kunnen vinden.

Hij heeft gezocht naar mogelijke vogels die zo snel kunnen wegvliegen, maar heeft die niet gevonden en bovendien blijkt uit de analyse van de beelden dat het object ook nog van vorm verandert.

De video duurt al met al enkele minuten en vooral aan het einde ervan zijn interessante beelden te zien.

Want, waar het op lijkt, is dat er een klein wezen bij de boom staat, wegrent naar een wachtende UFO die vervolgens met grote snelheid wegvliegt.

Het is hoe dan ook een intrigerende opname waarvoor niemand nog een verklaring heeft kunnen bedenken.

The witness was outside at Stonewall Resort with three others at 6:18 a.m. on September 5, 2016, when the incident began.

“We were heading to the top of the hill to get our machinery out for the morning job,” the witness stated.“It was pretty dark out still so we sat there waiting for it to get a bit brighter out so we could see what we were doing.”

Cropped and enlarged still frame from witness video.

The witness then noticed the object.

“I happened to look up at the stars like I do sometimes. I noticed a bright light moving in the sky. I pointed it out asking what the heck it was. One of our guys said it’s just an airplane. I disagreed. Airplanes have different lights. At the time it just looked like a solid light moving in a straight direction but shifting side-to-side as well.”

The witness was able to get some low level video of the object.

“I grabbed my phone and zoomed in as close as I could to get a video. My phone goes zoomed up to 4x, but it’s a cheap Android so the quality was bad. I decided to take a photo as well. There was another one some distance away you can see in the photo.”

The witness then reviewed the photo and video at home.

I zoomed in on that photo and I was shocked. I showed my girlfriend as well. What was a single light was actually four lights in a triangle shape. The way they are facing doesn’t match the direction it moves.”

Barbour County is a county located in north-central West Virginia. Population 16,589. West Virginia State Director Fred Saluga 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.

Flying Triangle Seen By Dog Walker In UK In Sept 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Flying Triangle Seen By Dog Walker In UK In Sept 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: Sept 2016
Location of sighting: Wrekin, Shropshire, UK
News source:

http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2016/10/01/flying-dorito-ufo-spotted-by-dog-walker-on-the-wrekin-in-shropshire/

This is the newest sighting of the famous Dudly Dorito...a TR3B UFO seen back in the 1980s and seen off and on ever since. The photo shows an even back, which rules out any US made stealth bomber (has uneven, jagged back) or the stealth fighter. Its possible that the US is testing a new aircraft over the UK again...they prefer testing to be outside the US, but flying over populated areas on purpose...would be strange if you are trying to keep it secret. So, this is probably an alien TR3B type craft.
Scott C. Waring-Taiwan

News states:
The triangle-shaped object is a UFO mystery that has baffled thousands following several sightings in recent years over the Black Country.

A dog walker snapped these pictures while walking on the hill yesterday.

Teacher Darren Edwards used his mobile to capture pictures of the unidentified shape as it passed overhead.

Mr Edwards, from Lawley, said: “I was out walking the dogs at about 7:30am on the Wrekin and had stopped at the top for a rest and to take in the views.

“I look in the direction of Lawley and then over to Ironbridge and I could make out a black shape moving slowly in the sky

“I managed to get my mobile phone out to take a few snaps and there is clearly a defined dark triangle shape.

“It was moving towards me and made no sound but having quickly checked on Google, it didn’t match any military aircraft or UAV drones. It was so slow it almost hanged in the sky. It also seemed to change its shape slightly as it turned.”

Mr Edwards said that after about 60 seconds it lowered in the sky and headed north, and after another 20 seconds faded and was gone.

He added: “It was a really strange looking thing to see and having served in the RAF I know that this was no current operational aircraft or drone.”

The Dorito is a flying object that has been spotted numerous times in the skies over the past decade, especially in the Dudley area. It was given its name because of its triangular shape.

It has appeared in Shropshire before, having been spotted over Welshpool in January 2010.

Strange white circling lights in the Derbyshire skies last night Sept 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 27, 2016
Location of sighting: Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England

This info was sent into me by Christian Mace, a French UFO research (click here to view his UFO site). The video shows white lights moving around in the sky. I have actually seen about 50 of these once with my family last year when walking home at midnight. They seem to have no limit to their speed, but if you notice them, they will know it! There is a 60% chance that they will either perform for you with loops, or return to observe you while keeping their distance for 5-10 min. If I hadn't seen such an event with my own family...I never would have believed it really happened.
Scott C. Waring-Taiwan

Eyewitness states:
Sorry for the grainy video had the camera on Max ISO as they were faint. Not sure what they are but they're moving in a pattern. #NotAliens :D just lights above Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Anyone shed any light (pardon the pun)

UFO Causes Family In Devon, England To Get Excited, Sept 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 2016
Location of sighting: Exmouth, Devon, England

The light seen in the video is too powerful to be a drone, and its shape indicates it is an orb. Orbs are the most common type of UFOs seen during both day and night time. Such glowing orbs have been seen coming out of lakes and oceans, but are common seen around mountain tops and ridges, most recently in Colorado.

News states:
A mum and daughter have shared this mysterious footage - of what they are convinced is a UFO. Tanya Davis, 43, and Charlee, 15, were baffled when they spotted the bright light in the sky above their house. They claim the unidentified 'vessel' remained overhead for two to three minutes before slowly disappearing out of sight. Pals have suggested that the 'UFO' could in fact be a drone - but Tanya and Charlee, of Exmouth, Devon, don't agree, saying it was "too big" and "silent". In a quest for answers, they even called nearby Exeter Airport to see if they could shed any light on the mystery - but to no avail.

Humanoid Robots to Flying Cars: 10 Coolest DARPA Projects

By Denise Chow, Staff Writer The way of the future

Credit: DARPA

INTRO: The way of the future

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, has a reputation for working on some of the most cutting-edge, futuristic projects — many that could easily be mistaken for science fiction. The agency, which falls under the watch of the U.S. Department of Defense, is responsible for developing new technologies for the military.

From humanoid robots to flying armored cars, here are 10 of the coolest DARPA projects.

WildCat and BigDog

1. WildCat and BigDog

As their names suggest, WildCat and BigDog are four-legged, headless robots designed to walk, run and carry heavy loads through potentially dangerous terrain, much like deployed troops. DARPA awarded contracts to Boston Dynamics to develop WildCat and BigDog for use by the military.

BigDog, created in 2005, is 3 feet (0.91 meters) long, and stands 2.5 feet (0.76 m) tall. The robot, which is roughly the size of a small mule, is capable of hauling 400 pounds (181 kg) of cargo, and can navigate difficult terrain and inclines up to 35 degrees.

WildCat, however, is quicker and more agile. The robot can gallop up to 16 mph (25 km/h) on flat surfaces, and is part of a DARPA mission to develop robots that can assist human soldiers on a variety of ground missions.

2. Avatar Project

Sometimes life imitates art, as is the case with DARPA's project to develop interfaces that enable soldiers to control and partner with semi-autonomous bipedal machines that, "act as the soldier's surrogate." Sound familiar? Hollywood director James Cameron explored the idea in his 2009 blockbuster hit "Avatar."

In its 2013 budget, DARPA allocated $7 million to its "Avatar Project," which could enable soldiers to control surrogate robots in dangerous combat situations.

3. Excalibur

To reduce the amount of "collateral damage" in war, particularly during battles fought in urban settings, DARPA is developing laser weapons that are small and efficient enough to be used in combat. These experimental laser weapons will be 10 times lighter than existing high-power laser systems currently in use, DARPA officials have said.

The lasers, developed for airplanes, may also be used for laser communications, target designation and airborne self-protection, agency officials added.

Falcon Project

4. Falcon Project

DARPA's Falcon Project was announced in 2003 as a joint program with the U.S. Air Force. The project aimed to develop a reusable, unmanned, rapid-strike hypersonic vehicle.

A prototype Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2) first flew in April 2010 and again in August 2011. The ultra-fast, arrow-shaped drone flew at blistering hypersonic speeds of Mach 20 (about 20 times the speed of sound), more than 22 times faster than commercial jetliners. During the flight, surface temperatures on the vehicle reached 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,930 degrees Celsius), which is hotter than a blast furnace capable of melting steel.

During both test flights, operators lost contact with the HTV-2 prototypes. In July 2013, DARPA confirmed it would not conduct a third flight of the HTV-2, but research on the project will continue until summer 2014 to gain better understanding of hypersonic flight.

5. Transformer

Imagine a militarized version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. This is the thrust of DARPA's Transformer project, which aims to develop a flying armored car. The four-person vehicle will be able to drive normally but also take to the skies to avoid road obstructions or other threats on the ground.

The vehicle is being designed to take off and land from the vertical position, and will be able to fly up to 250 nautical miles on a single tank of fuel. Eventually, these flying tanks may be used for strikes, raids, counterinsurgency operations, reconnaissance, medical evacuation and supply missions.

Atlas

6. Atlas

DARPA's Atlas project was revealed to the public on July 11, 2013. The bipedal humanoid robot stands 6-feet tall (1.8 m), and is designed to assist with a range of emergency services, including search and rescue operations. The U.S. Department of Defense is not interested in using the Atlas robot in combat situations, officials have said.

Atlas was developed by Boston Dynamics and was based on some of the company's earlier robot creations.

Navigation chip

7. Navigation chip

Advances in GPS technology revolutionized tracking and navigation, but what about areas where GPS is unavailable, or the signals are interrupted? To help soldiers find their way around areas of GPS blackout, DARPA researchers are developing a tiny navigation chip that is smaller than a penny.

The so-called timing & inertial measurement unit (TIMU) chip incorporates three gyroscopes, three accelerometers and a highly accurate master clock into a single miniaturized system that can provide precise information for navigation, including orientation, acceleration and time.

DARPA officials have said the navigation chips will not replace GPS, but rather are designed to work when GPS is unavailable or doesn't work.

X-37

8. X-37

The Boeing-built X-37 reusable space plane started as a NASA project in 1999, but was eventually transferred to DARPA in 2004 before the Air Force took control of the project two years later.

The unmanned X-37 Orbital Test Vehicle, which resembles a miniaturized version of the space shuttle, rides into orbit atop a rocket and returns to Earth and lands as a space plane. The X-37 launched on its first orbital mission in April 2010.

Previously, DARPA reported it was developing the X-37 to rendezvous and refuel older satellites or perform minor repairs in space using a robotic arm. Speculation mounted, however, that the X-37 was being used by DARPA and the Air Force as a vehicle for space-based weapons. In 2010, a high-ranking Air Force official involved with the project dismissed the rumors, and stressed that the X-37's main purpose is to test space technology.

Brain-Machine interfaces

9. Brain-Machine interfaces

Imagine if your brain could communicate with an external device, such as a thought-controlled mechanical arm or a device to restore sight. DARPA researchers are investigating potential communication pathways between the human brain and machines to build, assist, augment or repair human cognitive or sensory-motor functions.

Research on these so-called brain-machine interfaces began in the 1970s, and work by DARPA researchers is focused on neuroprosthetics that aim to restore damaged sight, hearing and movement. One of DARPA's brain-machine interface projects is Proto2, a thought-controlled prosthetic arm. Proto2 consists of a dexterous hand and fingers that can perform 25 joint motions.

DARPA-funded researchers created the world's smallest vacuum pump system that can be used for any electronics or sensors that require a vacuum. In 2008, DARPA's Chip-Scale Vacuum Micro Pumps (CSVMP) program set out to develop the smallest, most power-efficient pumps ever created.

The vacuum pumps could be used to build tiny chemical sensors, such as ultra-sensitive gas analyzers to detect chemical or biological attacks, or to design new sensors or instruments for micro-drones. The penny-size vacuum pumps were created by researchers at the University of Michigan, MIT and Honeywell International.

The 7 Silliest Time Travel Concepts in Science Fiction

By Jill Scharr, Staff Writer

INTRO : Silly time travel

Time travel has been a standard of science fiction since H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine" came out in 1895, but fictional people have been hopping through time and space for hundreds of years, from the Hindu sacred text the "Mahabharata" to the 12th-century medieval text De nugis curialium.

But just because people have been thinking about time travel for centuries now doesn't mean all of their accounts make sense. Here are the seven of the worst time travel concepts to be found in modern fiction. These explanations for time travel, given what scientists currently know, are total nonsense.

So science fiction that doesn't even try to explain its time travel, such as "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," or that brushes past explanation with non-answers like the infamous "wibbly wobbly timey-wimey" line in "Doctor Who" don't count.

1. Star Trek

The original "Star Trek" often walked the line between what writers call "hard science fiction" and "soft science fiction" — i.e. the difference between scrupulously researched hypotheses and techno-magic.

But perhaps the classic 1966 TV show's most egregious scientific misstep was in season 1 episode 21, "Tomorrow is Yesterday," when the Enterprise crew first traveled through time by slingshotting around the sun.

That's right, twice in the episode, the Enterprise travels hundreds of years through time by moving at an extremely high speed relative to a celestial body with a strong gravitational pull. That pull supposedly created a "time warp," thus "slingshotting" the ship into the past (in the beginning of the episode) or the future (at the end of the episode).

There is some method to this madness: The writers were clearly inspired by Einstein's theory of relativistic travel, which states that starships traveling at high speeds through space would experience time at a slower rate than on the planets they left behind, thus achieving a form of time travel into the future.

And the initial "slingshot" time travel into the past is achieved using the gravitational pull of a black star. There's a kernel of veracity buried here: Black hole singularities do distort the space-time around them, so theoretically if a ship were to get caught in its gravitational pull and then escape, it would have traveled into the future relative to its onboard timekeeping system.

But time travel into the past is a much different creature than time travel to the future, and if time itself can't escape from a black hole, how could a starship?

What's worse, the "slingshot effect" was a pivotal plot point in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," the movie that effectively marked the end of the original "Star Trek" franchise.

(Editor's Note: this entry was updated to correct the episode in which slingshotting was first used.

2. Escape from the Planet of the Apes

The third in the "Planet of the Apes" series begins with the Earth being destroyed in a massive nuclear explosion. Three apes escape the destruction by restoring a spaceship and flying away from the doomed planet, but they're caught in a shock wave and end up going through a time warp — a catchall for time travel in science fiction — created by the explosion.

What the "Planet of the Apes" crew is talking about sounds more like a wormhole, which is a theoretical tunnel through space-time that could also be used to travel faster than light or, possibly, travel forward or back in time.

According to current understanding, creating a wormhole requires large amounts of a theoretical substance called dark matter. Dark matter has nothing to do with a nuclear explosion. Now, it's true that no one's ever blown up the Earth to see what would happen, so it's impossible to say for sure, but it's pretty safe to say that the titular escape in "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" has no scientific basis, and just amounts to yet another example of Hollywood solving all its plot problems with explosions.

3. Dr. Who

This long-running British television show is infamous for playing fast and loose with time travel. But even for a show whose main character travels unrestricted through time and space, the beings known as Weeping Angels are kind of a stretch, albeit terrifyingly cool.

That whole thing about how they kill people by sending them back in time so they "live to death," and then feed off of the "potential energy" of all the things their victims would have done in their original time — that's ridiculous.

First of all, how would the act of sending someone back in time create energy? Take the idea of opening a traversable wormhole through time and space, a theory of time travel that appears to be supported by Einstein's General Relativity. Opening that wormhole would require an enormous amount of energy known as dark energy, or negative energy.

That aside, when a person goes into a traversable wormhole, there's no reason he or she would leave behind potential energy of what would have been. It's poetic, but scientifically speaking it doesn't make much sense, even for "Doctor Who."

4. TIME and Again

In this sci-fi novel by Jack Finney, main character Simon Morley becomes a test subject in the U.S. military's time travel research, something that's not too far-fetched — the U.S. military was researching some wacky stuff in the 60s and 70s, including whether LSD could give people psychic powers and the chemical weapon known as the "gay bomb" that was supposed to make enemy troops suddenly and aggressively infatuated with each other.

In "Time and Again," the government's testing a hypothesis that if they can convince a person he has traveled through time, then that person will have traveled through that time. To that end, Morley is isolated and surrounded only with things that evoke New York City in 1882.

The experiment is successful: Morley actually travels to 1882 and back several times through the course of the book and even alters the course of history.

Thematically, the use of belief and self-hypnosis as a means of time travel makes for a good story. Scientifically, however, there isn't really much to say about this one except that, barring some extraordinary discovery that fundamentally changes the way we understand the laws of the universe, "Time and Again" has absolutely zero scientific support.

Back to the Future

5. Back to the Future

In this classic 80s movie, Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) turns a DeLorean car into a time machine by installing a flux capacitor, pumping 1.21 gigawatts of electricity through it, and then speeding the car up to 88 mph (140 km/h).

"Back to the Future" is a bit of a tricky one for this list, because the now iconic "flux capacitor" is the source of time travel, though there is no explanation on how the capacitor works.

A capacitor is a device that stores electricity by creating an electrical field between two charged but not touching metal plates. "Flux" refers to the flow of something through space and can be used to refer to time. So perhaps the flux capacitor is special because its wishbone shape means it has three metal plates?

Most theories of time travel also require the time machine to be traveling at extremely high velocities (as with the time dilation that occurs at relativistic speeds) or using a warp drive or wormhole to cut through space-time, thus moving from one place to another in an amount of time that seems like the vessel is moving faster than the speed of light.

In that context, why make the DeLorean's time travel cutoff point 88 mph? The writers chose "88," because the number "8" looks like an infinity symbol (∞) turned on its side, suggesting infinitely high speeds. [Now and Then: 10 Mind-Bending Time Travel Stories in Comics]

The Time Traveler's Wife

6. The Time Traveler's Wife

In this 2003 romantic novel by Audrey Niffenegger, a woman named Clare must endure not knowing when and where her time-hopping husband Henry is.

Narratively, "The Time Traveler's Wife" is a unique take on time travel as a literary trope, as well as a lovely allegory about the difficulty of maintaining a relationship over time.

But scientifically, the book's time travel is baseless. Henry's time-surfing is ascribed to a genetic disorder called "Chrono-Impairment," which is hardly explored beyond its establishment as the pseudoscientific premise for Clare and Henry's tragic romance.

It's probably safe to say that if and when scientists discover the key to time travel, they won't find it in human DNA.

7. Superman: The Movie

You'd be hard-pressed to find a worse example of bogus time travel than the infamous "flying backwards around the Earth" scene in the 1978 "Superman" film starring Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder.

In the movie, Superman reverses Lois Lane's death by flying counter-clockwise around the Earth so fast that he reverses the earth's spin and therefore rewinds time. [Superman's 10 Strangest Powers]

This is insane for several reasons, the most significant being Earth's spin has nothing to do with the passage of time.

But let's say Superman were capable of influencing the Earth's spin, which moves at a speed of over 1,000 mph (1,600 km/h) at the equator. If the Earth were suddenly to stop spinning, let alone spin in the reverse direction, all objects on the surface would suddenly jolt forward.

In the movie, Lois was in California when Superman spun the Earth backward, not at the equator, so she'd be thrown forward at a rate of less than 1,000 mph — maybe only 500 or 600 mph. That'd still be enough to kill her all over again before Superman could get to her.

If your friends are talking about UFOs, you're more likely to spot one

SIDNEY STEVENS

Human brains are pattern-finding machines, but they don’t always get it right. (Photo: Ben Husmann/flickr)

Suppose your friend tells you about a recent UFO sighting in your area. That night you notice an unusual slow-moving light in the sky. Ordinarily, you’d dismiss it as a human aircraft, but tonight you wonder if it’s extraterrestrial. A week later you discover an odd, circular patch of dead grass in your yard — shaped something like a “flying saucer.” The next night you swear you hear strange humming noises outside and soft “alien-like” footsteps below your bedroom window. More and more, these events seem linked to UFOs.

Experts call this apophenia, and, simply put, it’s the human tendency to make connections or see patterns where none exist.

Why does this happen?

Humans are wired to spot patterns in our environment. Our ancestors used this skill to glean information about the seasons, animal migrations, weather phenomena and the location of natural resources that helped them survive.

Unfortunately, our pattern-recognition machinery sometimes turns up connections that aren’t there. From an evolutionary perspective it makes sense that we’d occasionally get it wrong. After all, it’s better that our minds continually detect clues (even random or unrelated clues) than fail to see them altogether. Not recognizing where predators typically hide, for example, can get you eaten. So periodic “false positives” are the price we pay for security, an unfortunate but necessary by-product of our need to survive and find meaning in a chaotic world.

Connecting the dots about where dangerous predators hide and learning to spot them helped our ancestors survive. (Photo:Jonathan P/flickr)

Examples of apophenia

Our brain’s ability to discern meaningful patterns has continued to be an important survival skill in the modern world. And thankfully, most of our false positives are relatively harmless. For example, there’s a type of apophenia called pareidolia, which is when you spy a lamb in the clouds or an old man in the moon or the face of Jesus on a piece of toast.

Of course, glimpsing nonexistent patterns can also lead you down a dark path. One example is latching onto supernatural or magical explanations for phenomena that don’t seem explainable via science, terrifying yourself and others.

Then there’s the gambler’s fallacy — the belief that if something happens a lot then things will soon balance out so it happens less. Or vice versa. Take a coin toss. If you get five heads in a row, you may believe you’re more likely to get tails next time. But your chance of getting heads (using a fair coin) is exactly the same each time — 50/50.

Or how about the “hot hand fallacy,” the tendency to believe that previous success means you’re on a roll? This type of cognitive misfire is especially dangerous if you believe your good luck at the roulette wheel or picking stocks means you can’t lose in the future.

In science, apophenia may cause researchers seeking a big discovery to glom onto evidence of order that doesn't exist or to ignore findings that don’t support their hypothesis. According to one study, 24-40 percent of published research on strategic management might not reach the same conclusions if repeated. The peril lies in trumpeting results that aren’t true — for instance, that a new drug eradicates cancer or that vaccines cause autism. The result may be that you choose to undergo an ineffective treatment instead of opting for something proven or shun preventive therapies that could save lives later on.

A related tendency is noticing selective facts and concocting an entire belief system. For example, someone may think a three-week cold spell means global warming isn’t real, or begin trafficking in conspiracy theories, which can range from the fairly benign claim that Elvis faked his own death to delusional Holocaust denial.

Pareidolia is a type of apophenia that causes us to see faces in rocks, shapes in the clouds and George Washington’s image on a grilled cheese sandwich. (Photo: Joshua Tree National Park/flickr)

What science says about apophenia

Psychological research suggests that people suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more likely to see patterns in random designs and find significance in coincidence.

Other research indicates that apophenia may also be related to over-activation of the brain’s right hemisphere (the seat of creativity and artistic senses), and may be more common in people with higher dopamine levels, a brain chemical that stimulates you to seek out pleasurable activities, improves memory, boosts motivation and helps you focus.

Is apophenia ever good?

Uncovering patterns that others don’t see may be more common in those suffering from mental illness, but it doesn’t always stoke dangerous delusional thinking. This brain “glitch” might also be the fuel behind creativity, imagination and visionary flights of fancy. Think of a poet’s whimsical metaphors or artistic symbolism in a painting. Or how about epiphanies, which bring sudden intuitive insights about the world’s interconnectedness? As many have long believed, mental illness and creativity really do seem to share a common brain pathway.

Do the patterns that creative types and dreamers see really exist? Maybe only for them, at least initially, but when shared with others, they often provide new perceptions, usher in scientific discoveries and bring greater wisdom. Apophenia only treads on precarious ground when we pick and choose the patterns we notice and fail to connect all the dots, or act out destructively based on our perceptions.

How to avoid self-deception

You’re more likely to “stumble upon” counterproductive non-existent patterns when you wish something were true or it serves a narrative you want to tell — like you’re on a lucky streak or your favorite celebrity didn’t die or the research theory you staked your career on isn’t wrong. Connecting all the dots requires keeping an open mind, looking at something from all sides and being willing to accept new information or evidence as it comes along. A little skeptical scrutiny and broad-mindedness goes a long way in keeping apophenia out of the danger zone.

Dream Chaser Space Plane to Fly United Nations Mission in 2021

A private space plane is set to fly the United Nations' first-ever space mission five years from now.

Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) are teaming up to launch a two-week robotic mission to low-Earth orbit in 2021 using the company's Dream Chaser spacecraft, representatives of both organizations announced Tuesday (Sept. 27).

"One of UNOOSA's core responsibilities is to promote international cooperation in the peaceful use of outer space," UNOOSA Director Simonetta Di Pippo said in a statement.

"I am proud to say that one of the ways UNOOSA will achieve this, in cooperation with our partner SNC, is by dedicating an entire microgravity mission to United Nations member states, many of which do not have the infrastructure or financial backing to have a stand-alone space program," she added.

Sierra Nevada Corporation is developing its Dream Chaser spaceplane to ferry astronauts to Earth orbit and to the International Space Station. See how the Dream Chaser space plane works in this infographic.

The 2021 mission is targeted primarily at developing nations, but any U.N. member states can apply to put a payload on board. Nations whose experiments are chosen will be asked to foot part of the mission's total bill, though poorer countries will likely receive a price break, Sierra Nevada representatives said. UNOOSA and Sierra Nevada are also looking for sponsors to help fund the mission.

Over the next year, the two organizations will hash out details of the mission, which "will provide United Nations member states with the ability to access space in a cost-effective and collaborative manner within a few short years," Di Pippo said. "The possibilities are endless."

The 30-foot-long (9 meters) Dream Chaser looks like a much smaller version of NASA's now-retired space shuttle orbiter. Like the space shuttle, Dream Chaser launches vertically, lands horizontally on a runway and is reusable.

Dream Chaser can carry up to seven passengers, but it's also a cargo-hauling craft; indeed, NASA recently selected the uncrewed version of Dream Chaser to provide resupply and trash-disposal services to the International Space Station.

Witness says UFO hovered alongside second-floor balcony

A Vermont witness at St. Albans reported watching an object hover alongside her second-floor balcony that could not be identified, according to testimony in Case 79413 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness said her daughter first saw the object floating just a few feet from their second floor balcony in St. Albans, VT, on September 15, 2016.

(Credit: Google)

The events occurred beginning about 7:15 p.m. on September 15, 2016.

“I was at home with my 9-year-old daughter and my husband,” the witness stated.“My husband was in the shower and did not witness any of this event. I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready, and my daughter was in the living room watching TV. The living room has a sliding glass door that opens to our second floor balcony.”

The witness first heard a noise outside.

“It sounded like there were a couple of motorcycles, maybe across the road in the sports complex’s parking lot, that were revving their engines or something. It was kind of loud, and a little disruptive, but I didn’t pay too much attention to it, since there is a fair amount of traffic where we live. After a couple of minutes, my daughter said to me, ‘Hey, Mom, it’s a helicopter.’ I said, ‘Oh yeah?’ I really wasn’t interested in stopping what I was doing to look at a helicopter, but I did to make her happy.”

The witness went to see what her daughter was looking at.

“You can imagine my surprise when I went into the living room to look out the sliding glass door to see a helicopter in the sky, but instead saw an object hovering literally right next to the left corner post of our balcony. The object could not have been any more than 10 feet away from us, maximum.”

The witness quickly reacted.

“I became quite alarmed and gruffly told my daughter to get inside and away from the glass. I looked back over at the object, which continued to hover momentarily. It was solid black in the front. It could not have had any propellers on it because the object was so close that the propellers would have been striking the building. Also, I did not feel any wind or breeze coming from the direction of the object. The glass door was open to my balcony, so I would have felt something coming through the screen. My hair did not even move.”

The object hovered momentarily before lifting off straight up into the air.

(Credit: Google)

The witness then had a second look at the object.

“After telling my daughter to move away, and then turning to look back at the object, it went from a hovering position, to a straight up vertical ascent, extremely fast. In this position the object had an egg-shaped front, with a long thin part extending toward the back, connected at the back, top part, maybe eight feet long? Not sure. The extension part looked like it had some red color on it. The object ascended straight up, and then started to turn like it was going to go upside down.”

The witness thought the object might crash.

“I became concerned that it was going to crash on the ground. Then a light army green-colored helicopter (a real one) was traveling over our building coming from the south and headed north. As the green helicopter went over-head, the black and red object vanished. Literally. My daughter also saw the object ascend, since she had only moved away from the window, and did not go where I had wanted her to. “

Her daughter had more details to share.

“Later, my daughter shared with me that she had seen the object arrive, starting at the east end of our balcony and stopping at the west end of it. Initially, I was pretty confused by what I had seen, and thought the object was a helicopter, as my daughter had thought. It all happened so unexpectedly and quickly.”

The witness noticed other odd occurrences.

“Also, I felt like my brain wasn’t really processing my observations like it normally would. Almost felt like I was a little bit ‘trance-like,’ which I think is why it took me a few days to sort out what I actually saw, backed up by my daughter’s observations, and come to terms with what happened. However, looking at all of the facts, there is no way the object could have been a helicopter.”

The daughter experienced problems after the incident.

“The next morning after the sighting of the object, my daughter woke in her bed with a bleeding nose. Also, she was very distressed, angry, agitated, and physically aggressive. She was one and-a-half hours late for school because I could not get her to calm down.”

The witness reports seeing other odd objects in the area recently. Pictured: St. Albans, VT.

The witness explained her own feelings.

“My reactions and feeling were: Initially fear and concern. Why was someone in a helicopter hovering next to our balcony? Were we in danger? Then somewhat a feeling of awe watching it ascend so quickly, and also from what it looked like. Then concern again that it was making unsafe maneuvers and might crash. Then extreme confusion. Initially, it seemed like the object had turned into the green helicopter heading north. But, really it just vanished, as the helicopter was going over. I have to say, this has been an unsettling experience.”

The witness reports strange experiences locally from the past as well.

“The event happened after a series of sightings of strange lights, farther away, one of which had been on the ground across the road from us a few weeks prior. I am concerned that we could be confronted again. I just don’t know what to expect at this point. Trying to not dwell on it and focus on the blessings of each day. But, experiencing a lot of anxiety and stress, to be quite honest. Also, maybe a little curious, too.”

St. Albans is a town in Franklin County, Vermont, population 5,999. MUFON Vermont State Director Ken Pfeifer 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.

DIAMANTACHTIGE UFO LAAT WANDELAARS SCHRIKKEN ( VIDEO )

DIAMANTACHTIGE UFO LAAT WANDELAARS SCHRIKKEN ( VIDEO )

Wanneer je gezellig met wat mensen in een bosrijke omgeving wandelt en er verschijnt opeens een vreemd object boven de bomen, dan is dat schrikken.

Dit gebeurde enkele dagen geleden in Mexico en UFO’s in deze vorm worden de laatste tijd op veel verschillende plaatsen waargenomen.

De vreemde niet geïdentificeerde objecten bij ons in de lucht vertonen soms vreemde vormen.

De meest bekende vorm van UFO’s zijn de zogenaamde klassieke retro vliegende schotelvorm, de cilindervormige UFO en de ronde die men meestal orb noemt.

Daarnaast worden er echter ook andere uitvoeringen waargenomen zoals driehoekige, maar soms ook diamant-vormige. Deze laatste zijn UFO’s die een soort ruit- of kruisvorm hebben.

Dit jaar worden er opvallend veel van dat soort UFO’s waargenomen en dat op verschillende plaatsen wereldwijd en zelfs daarbuiten zoals we zo meteen zullen zien.

De volgende opname is enkele dagen geleden gemaakt vlakbij de Mexicaanse plaats Veracruz en laat een dergelijke UFO zien.

xxx

De volgende opname is mooi, ook omdat je door de stemmen op de achtergrond kunt horen dat je hier met een echte waarneming hebt te maken. Honderd procent zekerheid is er met dit soort video's natuurlijk nooit, maar gezien de verbaasde en soms ook wat angstige reacties komt het geheel aardig geloofwaardig over.

Enkele maanden geleden reden een moeder en dochter op de snelweg bij het Australische Melbourne toen ze ook daar opeens een diamant-vormige UFO boven de bomen waarnamen.

Gelukkig slaagden ze erin om wat goede opnamen te maken en net zoals de UFO hierboven in Mexico vloog ook deze net boven de boomtoppen.

Weer enkele maanden daarvoor wordt een soortgelijke UFO waargenomen door Scott Waring bij het ISS ruimtestation.

Bovenstaande waarnemingen zijn allemaal van dit jaar, maar voor zover ons bekend is dit type UFO niet in Nederland of België waargenomen in die periode. Als we dat mis hebben, laat het ons weten.

En uiteraard heeft zoals gewoonlijk niemand enig idee wat voor objecten dit zijn, waar ze vandaan komen en wie ze bestuurt.

Goodbye, Rosetta! Spacecraft Crash-Lands on Comet in Epic Mission Finale

By Megan Gannon, Space.com Contributor

DARMSTADT, Germany — For the last two years, the Rosetta spacecraft has danced around a comet. Today, it finally made contact with the icy body — and sent its last signal.

This screenshot from ESA's broadcast of the Rosetta spacecraft's crash on Comet 67P shows the signal confirming the crash at 7:19 a.m. ET. on Sept. 30, 2016 at the Rosetta Mission Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany. Read our full story here.
**Credit: ESA**

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Rosetta probe ended its historic mission with a controlled descent to the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko early this morning (Sept. 30). Scientists here at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) received the confirmation of landing from the spacecraft at about 1:19 p.m. local time (7:19 a.m. EDT/1119 GMT).

"I can announce the full success of this historic descent," said Patrick Martin, Rosetta mission manager, as he declared mission operations ended. "Farewell Rosetta, you've done the job. That was pure science at its best." [Photos: Europe's Rosetta Comet Mission in Pictures]

Comets are primitive cosmic objects, left over from the time our solar system was just starting to take shape 4.6 billion years ago. Exploring the structure, composition and activity of these icy bodies could shed light on the evolution of our solar system, and help scientists write a more comprehensive history of how the building blocks of life were first delivered to Earth.

Previous robotic expeditions have made close encounters with comets. NASA's Stardust mission even captured dust from the cloud around Comet Wild 2 and returned the sample to Earth in 2006. But Rosetta was the first to orbit a comet, the first to follow one around the sun and the first to send a probe to thesurface of a comet's nucleus.

**Rosetta’s OSIRIS narrow-angle camera captured this image of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at 08:18 GMT from an altitude of about 5.8 km during the spacecraft’s final descent on 30 September.**

Today's landing marks the end of an ambitious 1.3-billion-euro ($1.46 billion) mission that spanned more than a decade. The Rosetta spacecraft launched in March 2004, and after a 10-year cruise through the inner solar system covering a distance of 4 billion miles (6.5 billion km), it rendezvoused with Comet 67P in August 2014. Three months later, Rosetta deployed its surface probe Philae. But instead of anchoring to the comet's surface as planned, Philae bounced twice before coming to a stop against a cliff face in the Abydos region. Rosetta only spotted the final resting place of Philae earlier this month.

First observed in 1969, the 2.5-mile-wide (4 km) Comet 67P circles the sun every 6.5 years between the orbits of Earth and Jupiter. Right now the comet is heading back out toward the orbit of Jupiter, and Rosetta, which is solar-powered, wouldn't have enough energy to keep up, so the mission had to come to an end. The spacecraft will stop sending data as soon as it touches down, meaning mission scientists won't know if it tumbles or bounces like Philae did after it lands. [Rosetta Probe's 'Death Dive' Into Comet 67P Visualized]

**The two-part Rosetta spacecraft is designed to orbit and land on the Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November 2014. See how the Rosetta spacecraft works in this Space.com infographic.**

ESA has already released the final images that Rosetta collected on its way down to the comet's surface.

"It's really great," said Holger Sierks, the principal investigator for Rosetta's OSIRIS camera, as he presented some of the probe's final views. "It’' exciting. It’s working like a charm."

Comet 67P is very porous with low gravity, so Rosetta's landing likely looked more like a slow-motion collision than a violent crash. The spacecraft executed its final maneuver around midnight local time (6:00 p.m. EDT; 2200 GMT) yesterday (Sept. 29) and began a 14-hour, 12-mile (20 km) drop to the comet's surface. ESA officials had calculated that its speed upon impact would be about walking pace, or 2 mph (3.2 km/h).

The controlled impact was designed to give ESA scientists a closer look at surface features they had only spied from afar.

"We got pretty close to the comet recently with the orbits we were doing," Matt Taylor, Rosetta project scientist with ESA, told Space.com. "We got within about 2 kilometers [1.2 miles] from the surface. But this plummet into the surface gets us in below 2 kilometers. It gets us within the acceleration region, where the comet coma grows and starts being thrown off."

The death dive was also an opportunity for Rosetta's suite of instruments to take measurements as it passes through the layer where the phase transition occurs between ice and gas.

Rosetta's final resting place is a smooth patch in the so-called Ma'at region on the "head" of the rubber duck-shaped comet.

This particular spot has a number of dust-spewing pits — some 330 feet (100 m) across and 165 feet (50 m) deep — that scientists wanted Rosetta's instruments to observe before the mission ended. The walls of these pits appear dotted with "goosebumps" that could be signatures of early comet building blocks known as cometesimals.

The mission has already produced a number of surprising discoveries — that the Comet 67P has big grains of water ice on its surface, molecular oxygen in its coma, diverse landscapes and a fluffy core, just to name a few. But Rosetta scientists still have reams of data to pore over. So, even with today's finale, the work isn't over.

"We have 80,000 images to look at," Mohamed El-Maarry, a postdoctoral researcher with Rosetta's OSIRIS team, from the University of Bern in Switzerland, told reporters yesterday. "It's going to keep us busy for years to come."

UFO Scares Neighbourhood Over Barbour County, WV - September 5, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Light has been added to better see the UFOs here.

Date of sighting: Sept 5, 2016
Location of sighting: Barbour County, West Virginia, USA
Source: MUFON 79238

This UFO is a bit small in the video, so make it full screen and change to HD settings to see it better. The object hovers like a drone, but its lights are not blinking, which leads me to believe it may be a real UFO. Also most drones have red lights, but that is not always true. This one is just too darn small to make out enough detail. Hard to say on this one.

Such white light UFOs have been seen by police officers over the Rocky Mountains, Colorado this year, but they were bus size and move incredibly fast.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:
I was at Stonewall Resort, me and three others were heading to the top of the hill to get our machinery out for the morning job. It was pretty dark out still so we sat there waiting for it to get a bit brighter out so we could see what we are doing. I happened to look up at the stars like I do sometimes. I noticed a bright light moving in the sky, I pointed it out asking what the heck it was, one of our guys said it's just a airplane. I disagreed, airplanes have different lights. At the time it just looked like a solid light moving in a straight direction but shifting side to side as well. I grabbed my phone and zoomed in as close as I could to get a video, my phone goes zoomed up to 4x but it's a cheap Android so the quality was bad. I decided to take a photo as well. There was another one some distance away you can see it in the photo. We just let it be and went back to work since the sun was coming up and this wasn't my first UFO encounter. When I went home and I zoomed in on that photo I was shocked. I showed my girlfriend as well, what was a single light was actually four lights in a triangle shape. The way they are facing doesn't match the direction it moves.

UFO In Earths Orbit Seen From Space Station On Sep 30, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 30, 2016
Location of sighting: Earths Orbit at Space Station (ISS)

This blue glowing UFO was seen near the space station yesterday by Streetcap1 of Youtube. It appears far away, but its not. Its actually very close to the space station, but higher up so it appears distant. Excellent find by Streetcap1.
Scott C. Waring

Streetcap1 states:
Unidentified Object is brighter on the left side due to the light from the Sun, so not Lens Flare. NASA cut the camera feed so quickly even though this was very distant, but I still managed to get a couple of frames to enlarge. Streetcap1.

Filer’s Files # 40 – 2016 Are Humans from Another Planet? - PART I

Filer’s Files # 40 – 2016 Are Humans from Another Planet? - PART I

ff40

In special reports, this week’s files cover: Von Braun Saw Crashed Alien Bodies UFO, Are Humans from Another Planet? UFO Rising and Alien Craft Panic’s Alexander the Greta’s Army.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Vermont.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Portugal, Puerto Rico, 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. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that of the over one hundred UFOs reported each week, many represent alien craft. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. The United States Air Force Blue Book Project conducted a worldwide investigation of UFOs from 1947 until December 1969, when it disbanded its investigative team. We are continuing the investigation and make the assumption we are not alone in the universe. Sacred ancient writings and our earliest structures such as the pyramids, and artifacts on the Moon and Mars point to alien intelligence. I observed an alien UFO on my radar and London Control had us intercept the UFO over England. Let us look for some of the evidence.

Von Braun Saw Crashed Alien Bodies UFO

Werner von Braun

Russ Hamersley writes, “After World War II, a number of highly regarded German scientists were brought to the United States under a program called Operation Paper Clip.” Their leader was Dr. Wernher von Braun who was technical director of the Peenemunde V-2 rocket research center. After the war, he worked on guided missiles for the U.S. Army and was later director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. In 1970, he became NASA’s associate administrator. “In Robert Trundle’s book, “Is ET Here,” he discusses Clark C. McClelland’s relationship with Von Braun. After a Manned Flight Awareness meeting McClelland and Von Braun left the Cocoa Beach Ramada Inn and met in a back patio. Von Braun’s scientists were launching V-2 rockets at the White Sands Testing Range in 1947 not far from Roswell. McClelland asked Von Braun, “Did the Roswell Incident happen and was an alien craft recovered along with alien bodies?Von Braun rose when he asked him the following questions.

Von Braun lit a cigarette raised his highbrows, thought for a second, and then began to discuss the crash openly. He explained how he and associates had been taken to the crash site after the bulk of the military personnel had left the scene. Von Braun stated. “The exterior of the space craft was not metal as we know it, but appeared to be made of something biological, like skin. McClelland’s only thought at the time was that he was being told that the craft was made of something “alive.”And yes, there were alien bodies which were being kept in a medical tent near the UFO. The beings were small, very frail, and reptilian in nature. Von Braun compared their skin to rattlesnakes that he and his group had encountered at White Sands. Von Braun said, “He was puzzled by the nature of the debris. The material was very thin, aluminum colored, similar to chewing gum wrapping, according to the scientist.”

The craft’s interior was bare of instrumentation, as if the creatures and the craft were of a single unit. McClelland kept his vow to Von Braun, who died on June 15, 1977, never to tell anyone the story, while he was still alive. “Is ET Here?” ISBN 0-9735341-2-5, by Robert Trundle, PhD Website

Are Humans from Another Planet?

A U.S. ecologist says conditions such as bad backs and sunburn suggest humans did not evolve alongside other life on Earth. In a new book, Dr Ellis Silver says aliens put humans our planet as recently as tens of thousands of years ago. He suggests the Earth might be a prison planet, since humans seem to be a naturally violent species and are here until we learn to behave ourselves. In his book, Dr Ellis Silver points to a number of physiological features to make his case for why humans did not evolve alongside other life on Earth. Dr Silver says that while the planet meets humans’ needs for the most part, it does not perhaps serve the species’ interests as well as the aliens who dropped us off imagined.

In his book, HUMANS ARE NOT FROM EARTH: A SCIENTIFIC EVALUATION OF THE EVIDENCE, the ecologist writes the human race has defects that mark it of being ‘not of this world’.

‘Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more.

He also says that it is strange that babies’ heads are so large and make it difficult for women to give birth, which can result in fatalities of the mother and infant. No other native species on this planet has this problem, he says.

achingback

Dr Ellis says that humans might suffer from bad backs (illustrated) because they evolved on a world with lower gravity such as Mars.

He also believes humans are not designed to be as exposed to the sun as they are on Earth, as they cannot sunbathe for more than a week or two – unlike a lizard – and cannot be exposed to the sun for a few hours without getting sunburned.

Seventeen factors which suggest we are not from Earth
how did we get here?
When did we get here?
What is our home planet like?
The most likely stars that our home planet orbits
If the aliens are out there why can’t we detect them? Are we the aliens?

In this fascinating book Dr Ellis Silver provides answers to all of these questions, based on current evidence and thinking in the scientific community and elsewhere.

“The Earth approximately meets our needs as a species, but perhaps not as strongly as whoever brought us here initially thought,” Silver said in an interview with Yahoo news.
“I believe that many of our problems stem from the simple fact that our internal body clocks have evolved to expect a 25 hour day (this has been proven by sleep researchers), but the Earth’s day is only 24 hours. This is not a modern condition – the same factors can be traced all the way back through mankind’s history on Earth.”

Silver does not suggest one answer – but a possibility that early pre-humans such as Homo erectus were crossbred with another species. He also suggests several possible origins, including Alpha Centauri.

“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring (raw) foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more. Plus there’s a prevailing feeling among many people that they don’t belong here or that something “just isn’t right“.

“This suggests (to me at least) that mankind may have evolved on a different planet, and we may have been brought here as a highly developed species. One reason for this, discussed in the book, is that the Earth might be a prison planet – since we seem to be a naturally violent species – and we’re here until we learn to behave ourselves.”

evolution

The theory of evolution claims humans were developed from apelike animals or chimpanzees but these animals still exist in their ancient form and do not write or construct buildings. No chimpanzee has graduated from kindergarten. Paleoanthropology is the scientific study of human evolution based on evidence of fossilized bones and partial skulls that will not fill your average table. A great is based on the assumption we gradually gained brain power, walked upright, and learned to reason and believe in a creator power or God. Animals live by the rule of fhe jungle and most humans are peaceful.

Paleontologists for some reason have ignored the possibility of intervention by extraterrestrials. They admit thousands even millions of mutations would be required to develop cells from the primordial soup to fish, primitive land creatures, then apes to hominids or primitive man. We know now that the DNA molecule is probably the most efficient information storage system in the entire universe.

The immensity of complex, coded and precisely sequenced information written on the DNA is amazing. The evidence speaks of intelligent, information-bearing design. Complex DNA coding would have been necessary for even the hypothetical first ‘so-called’ simple cell(s).

nycell

Our cells are more complex than a city

A single cell is unbelievably complex being roughly equivalent to New York City in a bubble or the outer membrane of the cell. As we move in closer to examine the cell we see the huge buildings, roads, subways, bridges, auto traffic that represent the various parts of the cell. As we move closer inside the various buildings we find a network of electrical wiring, heating and air conditioning systems, elevators carrying people. Inside the offices are millions of computers and wiring chips. Now you have an idea of the complexity of a single cell that can duplicate itself in minutes.

Even Francis Crick the co-founder and Nobel Prize Winner stated, ‘An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going.’

Crick reasoned that life could not have evolved from non-living chemicals under any conceivable earth conditions. He felt life did not originate on earth, and suggests a theory called panspermia. That the seeds of life are all through the universe. This concept basically infers that life, DNA, virus, bacteria, bombarded from space aboard meteorites and comets. Crick proposed, in a book called “Life Itself,” that some form of primordial life was shipped to the earth billions of years ago in spaceships—by supposedly ‘more evolved’ (therefore advanced) alien beings. This concept basically infers that life, DNA, virus, bacteria, bombarded Earth from space aboard meteorites and comets.

A balloon that recently returned from a high-altitude flight this year was covered in microscopic life forms which seemed not to be of this world – and reignited the debate over whether life on Earth actually began here, or somewhere else. This year, other scientists have argued that life originated on Mars, due to a mineral found in Martian meteorites, thought to be crucial to the genesis of life. Another experiment showed that amino acids could have arrived in impacts with comets – which suggest life might be widespread in the solar system. A ancient civilization on Mars might have traveled to Earth.

marsearth

Earth Mars

Dr Ellis Silver argues that humans may well not be from Earth – and may have arrived separately perhaps aboard a space ship. Silver, an environmentalist who is currently working with the effort to clean plastic debris from the Pacific, says his book aims to provoke debate – and is based on scientific work on the difference between humans and other animals.

“The Earth approximately meets our needs as a species, but perhaps not as strongly as whoever brought us here initially thought,” “Lizards can sunbathe for as long as they like. We can just about get away with it for a week or two. But day after day in the sun forget it. You might as well just lie down on the freeway and wait for a bus to hit you.” We are dazzled by the sun, which is also odd, says Silver – most animals are not.

Silver also points out to the “extra” 223 genes in human beings, which are not found in any other species, and to the lack of a fossil “missing links”. The development of blonde hair and blue eyes in certain humans over the last ten years is a mystery in itself.

Silver also claims that the human race has defects that mark us out as being possibly “not of this world”.We lived comfortably on another planet believed to have pyramids.

“We are all chronically ill,” says Silver. “Indeed, if you can find a single person who is 100% fit and healthy and not suffering from some (perhaps hidden or unstated) condition or disorder (there’s an extensive list in the book) I would be extremely surprised – I have not been able to find anyone.” The sun hurts our eyes implying we originally came from a planet with a dimmer son.

“I believe that many of our problems stem from the simple fact that our internal body clocks have evolved to expect a 25 hour day (this has been proven by sleep researchers), but the Earth’s day is only 24 hours. This is not a modern condition – the same factors can be traced all the way back through mankind’s history on Earth.” Silver does not suggest one answer – but a possibility that early pre-humans such as Homo erectus were crossbred with another species.

pyranidsworld

Mankind has spent tremendous effort building pyramids all over the world at great cost. Mars, Ceres, our Moon all have large pyramids indicate they have value to extraterrestrials. Mysterious rays of light radiate from pyramids around the world.

“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment.

Plus there’s a prevailing feeling among many people that they don’t belong here or that something “just isn’t right“.

pyramid-ray

“There is probably truth to the report that they find curious stuff in the atmosphere,” Chris McKay, an astrobiologist at NASA told SPACE.com in an interview. “The jump to the conclusion that it is alien life is a big jump and would require quite extraordinary proof.” Professor Wainwright and his colleagues at the University of Sheffield aim to conduct further tests. “In the absence of a mechanism by which large particles like these can be transported to the stratosphere, we can only conclude that the biological entities originated from space,” Wainwright added.

“Our conclusion then is that life is continually arriving to Earth from space, life is not restricted to this planet and it almost certainly did not originate here.” Silver’s more radical idea is presented as polemic, intended to inspire argument – “Initial reaction has been positive, although one reviewer thought it was a parody, while another found the writing style heavily dictatorial,” he admits.

FireAsteroid

The debate over the origin of life looks set to intensify. Simulations on supercomputers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the U.S. have found that amino acids, the building blocks of life, could have arrived on Earth via comets. This would suggest that life might be found elsewhere. Nir Goldman suggests that the simple molecules found in comets (such as water, ammonia, and carbon dioxide) could have supplied the raw materials, and the impact with early Earth could have “ignited” a prebiotic reaction. A series of experiments where projectiles were fired into commentary ice mixtures formed amino acids – the building blocks of life.

Goldman said. “These results present a significant step forward in our understanding of the origin of the building blocks of life. This increases the chances of life originating and being widespread throughout our solar system,” Goldman said.
My thesis proposes that mankind did not evolve from that particular strain of life, but evolved elsewhere and was transported to Earth (as fully evolved Homo sapiens) between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago.”

“Little in the book can be proven – it can only be supposed or suspected. But there is more than enough indisputable evidence to make further study worthwhile.”

Genesis 1- 26 states: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth. Perhaps man was brought to earth rather than being made on earth.

Alien Craft Panic’s Alexander the Great’s Army

Middle East (Reign of Alexander the Great_, 356-323 B.C.) A historian of the reign of Alexander the Great allegedly tells of two strange craft that dived repeatedly at his army, until the war elephants, the men, and all the horses panicked and refused to cross the river where the incident occurred. The historian describes the objects as “great shining silvery shields, spitting fire around the rims… things that came from the skies and returned to the skies.”

triangle

This remarkable incident was apparently paralleled by an equally fantastic visitation during the Siege of Tyre (Lebanon) by Alexander in 332 BC.

‘The fortress would not yield, its walls were fifty feet high and constructed so solidly that no siege-engine was able to damage it. The Tyrians were the greatest technicians and builders of war-machines of the time and they intercepted in the air the incendiary arrows and projectiles hurled by the catapults on the city. One day suddenly there appeared over the Macedonian camp these “flying shields”, as they had been called, which flew in triangular formation led by an exceedingly large one, the others were smaller by almost a half. In all there were five. The unknown chronicler narrates that they circled slowly over Tyre while thousands of warriors on both sides stood and watched them in astonishment. Suddenly from the largest “shield” came a lightning-flash that struck the walls, these crumbled, other flashes followed and walls and towers dissolved, as if they had been built of mud, leaving the way open for the besiegers who poured like an avalanche through the breeches. The “flying shields” hovered over the city until it was completely stormed then they very swiftly disappeared aloft, soon melting into the blue sky.

UFO Sightings in the United States

Alabama Lights

Gulf Shores — I was on the State Park Pier on August 7, 2016, photographing the city lights and trying to freeze lightning images with my camera. I first observed a single red orange orb coming up over the city, then another and finally a third. Then I noticed they formed a triangle over the city as I gazed west. They sat there for 5 minutes and then returned over the city. During this time I noticed the water below the pier had gotten lighter but, I kept looking back at the orbs while taking several shots of this phenomenon.

When I got the shots back to the hotel I looked at image 2967 and noticed that something indeed had lit up the water below the pier. It was some strange creature or object that shot water out the back end of it in spurts. It’s clear this was no blow hole from a whale. So there were two unexplainable objects in this image. This thing swam by me going from my left to right as the orbs started their assent to the west over the city. A gal stopped by to see if I was getting any lightning shots and I said yes but, what was more interesting were those three lights hovering over Gulf Shores. She looked and noticed them also. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Object

Hollister — At about 11:30 pm, I was out front of my house talking to my friend and saw a red light stationary in the clear night sky. The object was at about the same altitude as your average Cessna airplane. This is the fourth time seeing these lights in two months.

Last time I saw six low objects moving south east at about 9 pm. I know what normal air traffic looks like and have been using a large telescope for over 12 years observing the sky. I ran and got my Sony high 8 camcorder and filmed it for about two minutes. It was not a drone, lantern, or plane. The light went out was about 11:42 pm. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado Light

Colorado Springs — We were walking and noticed the trails of light in the sky.

It happened pretty quick, but I got it on video on September 27, 2016.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Object

Gulf Breeze – On the evening of September 9, 2016, I decided to go to Opal Beach near Gulf Breeze to watch the sunset and take pictures for an art project. Several days later, when looking at my pictures I noticed a dark stationary object in several of the photos. The object was in a single position from 7:02- 7:03 pm, at a height that it cast a shadow on the cloud directly behind it. There was nothing in the photos at the spot two minutes prior to the event and no object one minute after the event. I know it was stationary because my IPhone takes short videos when the photo is taken.. This is the only object which appeared for two minutes and then was gone. The final picture shows a dark disk-shaped object with a pointed antenna-type object on its top and a diamond-shaped field around the craft. It had some solidity as the object appeared to cast a shadow on the cloud behind it. I have 8 photos of the object, showing various shapes/forms, with the final photo being most distinctive. It was NOT a cloud. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Orbs

Evanston — At 7:25 PM on September 27, 2016, I looked out my window to see five bright lights floating over Lake Michigan in front of the South Street Beach area.

They were initially in a linear formation and then moved to a T formation. Three of the orbs slowly broke away to form a triangle.

After 30 minutes the orbs disappeared. A delivery driver coming to my home also saw the lights. There were planes flying past these lights. I have photos and video. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Louisiana Object

On September 9 2016, my wife and I were driving east when we noticed something flying in front of a cloud.

We took this photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Minnesota Circle

Elko New Market — I am 19 years old and I snuck out with two other friends to go ding dong ditching and meet up with other friends on September 9, 2016. Right when we got out of my house we noticed something really weird in the sky.

It was a bright ring of lights just hovering in the same spot. We tried to debunk it and figure it out, but couldn’t find any reasoning behind it. So I took two photos of it.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Light

Mansfield — We had a sweet sighting on the way home from getting groceries on September 23. 2016, about 8 PM. Brandy (my fiancé’) noticed two very close bright lights in the sky over Pohatcong Mountain as we were driving East on Allen Road toward Rockport Road/ Grand Avenue, I also noticed them and they at first looked light high intensity landing lights from an airliner that was flying awfully low over the mountain and the local airstrip is unlighted and operates under VFR rules only. It’s also a very short strip. We had just passed the field, it was dark as usual as there are no lights there, and the runway runs North-South, and this craft was approaching from the West, moving towards us very slowly.

Brandy got her phone out and caught a picture as we rounded the top of the small ridge as you start the final downward slope to Rockport Road. It slowed to a crawl for a totally unobstructed view. As we reached the point of the first photo capture area, the craft rotated and the twin lights were no longer visible, but a dimmer illumination was still there. The object light obscured the stars in that area of the sky. The craft remains in the same area and rotated on its axis. It then began to slowly move away and then shot off to the WSW so fast it was as if it simply disappeared. If it was an airplane, it flew like no airplane I have ever seen before. We had the windows down and there was no noise. The mountain there and is about 1600 ft in elevation at the top in that area, and I would estimate it was flying at about 2500 feet. We were a mile away, so it was relatively large in size. You can clearly see the ground to our left as we took the photo pointing toward the WNW. Thanks to David M.

New York Sightings

Colonie – On September 11, 2016, around 7:10 pm, I was with my sister driving who observed a brilliant light on the sky. When I looked the light was steady and didn’t move for three minutes.

I quickly thought it was a ufo. My sister parked the car and I took pictures with my cell phone. It looked like a cigar type.

Then the first ufo moved and then two more showed up and were steady for about a minute and then the three of them disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

nycoxsackieseptember-23-2016

Coxsackie – On September 23, 2016, I went out to take photos of the sun like I frequently do. I took 25 photos around 1:00 pm, one after the other. When I got finished, I went inside and downloaded them onto my computer. I was going through each photo, and noticed above the sun an object.

The object was in only one photo even though I took photos right after the other, I have to assume the object was flying so fast that I caught it on only one photo. I believe for the first time in my life, I caught a UFO.

North Carolina Orbs

Charlotte — I was letting my dogs out on September 24, 2016, and a helicopter was circling the area right behind my house. The object flew over the tree line so bright, very slow, and swerving like a drunk driver.
I never saw one this close, although I see them at night all the time, but they are very high. I ran upstairs to tell my lady to come look while I grabbed my phone. As it had sped away, I was able to film the end of my encounter. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Ring

Spring — We were on our balcony around 4 am and saw an extremely bright star or planet on September 27, 2016. I knew it was too bright to be either of those so I used my phone to zoom in on it. I went in the house to grab my telescope and held the telescope in my arms and found the object and got it in focus and could see clearly it was some sort of ship with a 3-way circle of lights underneath. We both became extremely excited and I began to shake quite a bit. We began trying to place our phone lens over the telescope lens to record the object. I was shaking and the telescope would wobble enough that I’d lose it. We had tried for 30 minutes and got a couple seconds of usable footage. We compiled our clips into a couple short gifs. I should note that during the time we saw it to the point of capturing video it had stopped emitting a multitude of colors and. I would come back every half hour or so and check on it and it moved slowly glowing whitish blue until it disappeared. This was on Sept. 23^rd and it was back the following night and again the next night. It was back on the 27^th but further away. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Vermont Disc

Whitingham — We were at the lake on September 13, 2016, and one part of the whisk circle of clouds opened up. It was pretty unique so I had a friend take a couple pictures.

When we reviewed the pictures we saw an object in the middle of the circle. One picture shows the circle the other picture had the object in it. Nobody saw the object but it was captured in the image. Within 5 min the hole dissipated by the wind. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Lights

Missville — I was driving home when I saw three glowing objects on November 8, 2014.

I had no clue to what it was, nor did the cars in front of me. We all slowed down and I took pictures with my phone.

The three turned into one and quickly disappeared when I got to the clearing. I did think it had to be UFO’s as I had never seen anything remotely similar.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Lights

Bothell — I was taking the dog out and something bright and flashing caught my eye in the sky on September 26, 2016. It wasn’t a star or plane, and it was rather low on the horizon. I couldn’t see it well, so I went back inside to get my glasses, and cell phone. I could now see the unusual, bright flashing (mostly white but also violet/purple) object, and it seemed to constantly change shape. I took pictures and left the flash on at first, so those didn’t turn out, but the object still shows up in those two pictures. After examining my photos including zooming in, I noticed the more violet/blue color, that changed shape and stationary. I felt afraid flashing the photo thinking “they” might see it from up there. And I surely didn’t want to draw attention to myself. I’m afraid to look even now and can’t sleep. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Lights

Gunnedah — We live on a property and are surrounded by scrub and grazing paddocks and we can see a long way. About 8.25 am, on September 28, 2016, I noticed something very bright in one of our paddocks a half a mile away. I called my husband to come quickly as I thought someone in a white utility was on the place. We looked through our binoculars and thought it was larger four wheel drive utility. The object was extremely bright, almost glowing, and it was difficult to make out what it was exactly as it was very bright.

We decided to drive closer to have a better view and grabbed my camera. It was only out of our sight for that amount of time and when it should have been in our line of sight again it was gone. It being a paddock there was nowhere for it to go without us seeing it drive away but it had just vanished. I also scanned the clear sky. We jumped in our car and drove to where it had been but there were no tire tracks… We checked the ground over an area of about 100 square yards, but nothing had disturbed the ground. It was so bright that I couldn’t make out any details on it and it was difficult to know how large it was. My husband is/was a skeptic but he knows he saw “something” that there is no explanation for and it has shaken him up a bit. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Orb Diamondx

Niagara Falls – I noticed a formation of nine disc like objects flying above as I looked south on September 11, 2016.

They stayed in a tight diamond formation throughout my observation that lasted about ten seconds when the formation flew behind the trees.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Scarborough, Ontario — On September 20, 2016 while on break I went up to the second floor outside facing west and took pictures of the CN Tower in Toronto. Later when reviewing the photos, I found a strange red unknown object caught on film at 10:10 AM. This was NOT seen with the naked eye probably due to distance. They do continue to fly being unnoticed by many.

PS I have witnessed my 57^th sighting on September 27, 2016.

Thanks to Paul Shishis.

Norway Lights

Kristiansand – I was walking home on September 27, 2016, at midnight and chanced to test my phone camera on the stars.

I snapped a picture of the one that seemed to shine brighter than the rest as something ran pass, made a weird sound that could have been a badger.

A couple hours later I remembered the picture and saw a strange black outline looking like two disc shaped objects with a light source in each one.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Portugal Orbs

Tavira — We saw a swarm of blinking lights in the north sky over the house on July 30, 2016.
It is very difficult to tell the distance from us. They changed positions in the group while standing there. I took some pictures after some minutes as they moved to the south side of the house and stood there. Some more minutes passed before they flew higher up in the sky. They were far too big to be insects. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Disc

Scarborough — My father in law was watching a display team flying in formation over the North Bay on June 29, 2013. He took a few shots with his iPhone and when he reviewed them later he noticed the object in the picture. He did not notice it at the time and it did not show up in any other frames. I imported the picture into iPhoto on my Mac and was able to enlarge the image at top right to show the size and shape in more detail. There were many other people who likely took a photo.

If We Go To Mars, We Might End Up Killing Life That’s Already There

Phillip Toledano/National Geographic

IN BRIEF

In 1967, the Outer Space Treaty was signed, requiring all to avoid contaminating celestial bodies.
If Curiosity find water, it has to avoid contact for fear that Earthly microbes might contaminate it.

THE CASE FOR PLANETARY PROTECTION

Now that Elon Musk has revealed his bold plans to colonize Mars, many have voiced that a human presence may not be great for the red planet. Before you say to yourself “ugh, another climate control article,” we suggest you control yourself and read on.

Yes. Of course we are fearful that human beings could destroy Mars much like we are damaging the Earth. But, more importantly, this is about protecting whatever original Martian life might be there when we set foot on the red planet.

This is an actual issue that’s been recognized since the 1960s — the problem of planetary protection. How can we make sure that human presence on Mars will not contaminate whatever life forms might be on the red planet? That’s a question Catherine Conley, NASA’s senior planetary protector, has concerned herself with for 10 years now.

Keeping Mars Martian

As scientists find more Earth microbes that can survive extreme environmental conditions, NASA has identified regions of the red planet where exploration must be extremely cautious. Areas with shallow ice beneath the surface or slopes that seem to show periodic flows of water are potential havens for terrestrial life.

KEEPING LIFE ON MARS INTACT

Fortunately, all spacefaring nations are obliged to protect the Earth and other planets from contaminating one another. In 1967, the Outer Space Treaty was signed and ratified, requiring all to avoid contaminating the moon and other celestial bodies.

So, the problem is, how do we do this? Take the curious case of the Curiosity, for instance. NASA’s Mars rover has been tasked to look for potential life on the red planet. So far, it has found evidence that water might’ve existed. If it actually finds water, though, it has to avoid contact with it for fear that whatever microbe Curiosity brought with it from Earth might contaminate the water.

Fortunately, there are measures to make sure that the likelihood of contamination stays low. NASA undertakes the strictest procedures to keep all its interplanetary equipment from carrying microbes, as much as possible. With the little amount that can actually survive the procedure and a trip through space, for one reason or another, we still have to be careful.

If bacterial life in Mars works the same way, more or less, that it does on Earth, then the smallest samples can pollute any chance we have of finding original Martian life.

Giant Meteorite Unearthed in Argentina is the Second Heaviest Ever Found

By: Nidhi Goyal

A giant 30-ton meteorite has been discovered in the Argentina town of Gancedo.

As per experts, it is one of the largest meteorites ever found on Earth. It originated from a meteor shower that hit the region more than 4,000 years ago.

Discovery of the meteor was made on the border of Chaco, about 670 miles to the northwest of Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires.

The meteorite at Gancedo was extracted from the ground on September 10 using heavy machinery as it weighs more than 30 tons.

The largest meteorite ever uncovered is a 66-ton whopper called Hoba. It sits in the Otjozondjupa Region of Namibia, in southern Africa. Because of its huge size, it hasn’t been moved and is now a tourist site. Hoba’s age is between 190 million and 410 million years and is thought to have hit the Earth around 80,000 years ago.
