Husband And Wife’s Amazing Ufo Encounter In Vermont

(Before It's News)

DECEMBER 4, 2014    ……  FAIRFAX VERMONT
          THANKS TO WWW.MUFON.COM CASE FILES.

On the evening December 4th, 2014 at approximately 9 p.m., I was exercising in our basement and noticed a very bright light which I could see through our basement window. I ran up our first flight of stairs, opened the front door and stood on the porch. Before noticing any detail I felt an intense sense of dread. I looked up toward the sky at a 45 degree angle, directly away from our house, toward Vermont’s highest mountain peak. In the near distance, perhaps a half mile from where I was standing, I saw an extremely bright object, pulsating red and blue lights, bouncing around slightly. I stood for perhaps 30 seconds or a minute watching this object, feeling transfixed but also very fearful. I recalled in that moment some of the stories of abductees who were paralyzed prior to their close encounters, and screamed at myself mentally to turn around and go back inside. I walked quickly inside, locked the door and ran up the next flight of stairs to our living room, where my wife was sitting and watching television. I turned off all the lights and then the TV and told her, “you need to see this.” I brought her to our picture window, oriented precisely eastward in the direction of the object, and asked, “WHAT IS THAT?” She leaned toward the window, squinted her eyes and her mouth dropped open. At the same moment I noticed another similar bright object to the north, but this object became a secondary consideration to us because it was partially obscured by tree branches near our window and appeared to be farther away and at a higher altitude. I asked her to stand there and continue to watch the object for unusual flight patterns if it began to change position. As she did this, I ran to my office to retrieve my Celestron Model #21035 travel telescope. When I returned, I noticed a light on the ground directly below the UFO, in a location that I know to be a patch of cow pasture void of any structures. I quickly found the UFO in my telescope lens. What I saw shocked me down to my core. The object was disc-shaped, bright, colorful, pulsating and bouncing. The pulsating red and blue lights appeared to come from within the craft, passing out through its walls. I then found the light on the ground below the craft and saw that it was cylindrical, orangish-yellow and was illuminating a white angular object which sat closer to my house on the grass. After two or three minutes, I decided that I would not see enough detail in the light and turned the telescope back toward the UFO. When my wife again examined the craft, she asked, “what is that other thing…in the air, closer to us, in the bottom right corner of the view?” I looked and saw the corner of another, mostly black and camouflaged object, perhaps two or three hundred yards closer to us.
 
I watched this object for ten minutes or longer and noticed that it was slowly rocking around and up and down. On several occasions, I could clearly see that the bright, pulsating disc was casting enough light on the angular craft to illuminate two corners of what appeared to be a triangular black craft. My wife paced around the house, communicating irritation with me for looking at these objects with such interest at first, but eventually, after at least a full hour, parked herself on a chair near me saying, “I feel weird…I’m scared…I don’t like this.” At some point, I noticed that the light on the ground had vanished. Then, I noticed that the pulsating disc was calmer – more stationary and less bright. The red light, especially, was mostly or entirely gone and the craft appeared to settle into a lower-energy state. The triangular craft remained in the same position for another thirty minutes. Immediately prior to going to bed, I saw that the disc and triangle had both changed positions. The disc was now higher, perhaps directly above the triangle, which was now oriented with a single corner pointing downward. Suddenly, I saw the full form of the triangle, which was hovering with its underside pointing directly at my window. I saw one faint, circular orange light at each of three corners. The next day, I bumped into a resident who lives on the road directly opposite my house from the previous evening’s activity. This individual informed me that she had see an object that matched my description of the bright object at 9 p.m. on December 3rd and 4th. I knew this meant that the object might return soon, and watched from my window throughout the night of December 5th. Two bright, pulsating objects appeared shortly before midnight, at least one half mile farther from my house than they had been the previous night. I watched for over an hour as they appeared to follow a grid pattern slightly above the tree tops near a river. A quick scan of the internet reveals that Vermont is currently a hotspot for these phenomena. Many people have reported similar objects in my area; MANY more have likely seen them and remained silent.  I would be willing to speak with you by phone, but I must be careful not to allow my name to be associated with my report as it is presented to the public. Thank you for all of your amazing work MUFON.

08.12.14 Un groupe de recherche créé pour encadrer l’intelligence artificielle des robots

Une équipe de recherche basée au Royaume-Uni a lancé un projet collaboratif sur les robots autonomes, afin que dans le futur, leur fabrication réponde à un ensemble de critères éthiques, de lois et de normes de qualité.

De plus en plus de robots font preuve d’intelligence artificielle et savent se comporter sans avoir à faire appel à l’homme. Ces derniers sont développés pour les besoins de l’industrie aéronautique ou nucléaire, l’agriculture avec des drones qui analysent les récoltes ou encore, les voitures autonomes pour le grand public ou les aspirateurs robots pour la maison.

Un groupe de chercheurs des universités de Sheffield, Liverpool et Bristol ont lancé un nouveau projet pour répondre aux préoccupations autour de la robotique et à celles qui pourraient naître dans un futur proche avec le progrès des nouvelles technologies. Financé par l’Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council à hauteur d’1,4 millions de livres jusqu’en 2018, le projet vise à établir un cadre législatif et des normes industrielles pour le développement de la robotique.

Comme Google qui a déjà constitué un Comité d’Ethique pour la robotique en son sein, ces experts issus de plusieurs domaines (robotique, philosophie, biologie, etc.) vont chercher à développer les capacités des systèmes autonomes du futur à prendre des décisions fondées sur l’éthique, le droit et la sécurité. Ils vont participer également à l’élaboration de protocoles d’audits techniques de ces mêmes plateformes robotiques, afin qu’elles respectent les normes qui seront fixées.

Chaque université impliquée dans le projet a sa spécialité : Liverpool mettra l’accent sur les outils mathématique permettant d’auditer les plateformes robotiques, l’Université de Sheffield sera chargée d’encadrer l’intelligence artificielle des machines et leur apprentissage. L’Université de Bristol, quant à elle, s’occupera de la partie éthique et de la définition même de ce que sera un robot éthique.

Alan Winfield de l’Université de Bristol, un des professeurs chargés du projet et qui travaille sur les robots éthiques, explique :

• Si nous devions faire confiance aux robots, en particulier lors de nos interactions avec eux, ces derniers devront être plus que fiables. Nous avons déjà prouvé au laboratoire qu’un robot peu complexe peut être éthique, et suivre de manière étonnamment proche les fameuses lois d’Asimov. Nous devons maintenant prouver qu’un tel robot sera capable d’agir éthiquement de manière immuable, tout en cherchant à comprendre l’utilité de tels robots dans le monde réel.

Another UFO Sighting Video Taken Near A Volcano In Mexico

Another video shows a strange object traveling near central Mexico’s Popocatepetl, a volcano that recently erupted in 2013. In recent years, there have been several UFO sighting reports near the volcano. There are witnesses who recorded mysterious UFO on video and some of these have apparently shown UFOs coming in the volcano.

The most recent UFO video involving Popocatepetl volcano was uploaded on November 23 to YouTube. Epoch Times describes that the video shows a white and blurry UFO. The camera follows the mysterious object as it travels across the horizon.

The physical details of the object are very difficult to make out because of its blurriness. But it’s clear in the video that the behavior and flight path of the strange thing are smooth and straight as it seems to descend gradually. The distance of the object from the volcano and neighboring mountain range is still unknown.

It is also important to note that Popocatepetl volcano is surrounded with various airports, including the Hermanos Serdan International Airport. Skeptics believe that the mysterious flying object could be a conventional airplane about to land.

Due to hundreds of UFO sightings reported in the area, which are supported by videos and photos, Popocatepetl has become a UFO hotspot. It is widely reported that actress Shirley Maclaine even brought Australian Ambassador to the United States, Andrew Peacock, to the volcano for a UFO watching. MacLaine later revealed that they did witness various UFOs near the volcano.

UFO traveling over the Moon

Report from the Third Milenium about this interesting footage of a strange object flying over the Moon. This video was recorded by the amateur astronomer from San Diego, California on 5th November 2014.

Mr. Santa, Bring "Them" Along!

Legendary reputation as the Dr. Funkenstein of holiday party monsters notwithstanding, De Void spent a decent portion of the Thanksgiving weekend in sedentary repose, reviewing DVD-archived presentations at last year’s “Symposium on Official & Scientific Investigations of UAP (UFOs)." De Void initially monitored this two-day conference with its stellar cast in lame remote abbreviated fashion when it happened in late June 2013. But after actually (finally) listening to the speakers, De Void easily recommends this package as a conversation-starter for academics fearless enough to contemplate the merits of The Great Taboo as potential brain-food curricula.

No, but seriously, De Void does have a decent stocking-stuffer idea for Christmas/CREDIT: www.collthings.co.uk

De Void’s belated look at a year-and-a-half-old UFO hearing was triggered by the apparent enthusiasm from American University faculty and administrators last month over the success of a smaller but no less compelling forum in Washington, D.C. AU's key speakers — author Leslie Kean, NARCAP founder Richard Haines, and retired USAF colonel Charles Halt — were also featured at the 2013 gathering, and honors course instructor John Weiskopf expressed a desire to offer the class again. It’ll take a lot of John Weiskopfs to build institutional support for UFOs as a scholarly concern, but De Void's betting this provocative and underpublicized DVD set is strong enough to nudge forward-thinking administrators off the fence.

Pseudo-skeptic: How big is De Void’s kickback? A: Zero. But De Void was sent a comp after wondering whatever happened to the guy who scraped together a small fortune to create the ad hoc Center for UFO Research, which financed that 2013 symposium in Greensboro, N.C.

Tar Heel Kent Senter, whose cancer diagnosis spurred him into action, is still alive and struggling with multiple myeloma, which is no longer in remission. He has no regrets about the range and depth of his lineup, which included a university political scientist, a textbook-writing astronomer, and a university sociologist. But audience turnout was dispiriting. Senter says the venue could’ve accommodated 2,000 people; maybe 200 showed up. Maybe he shouldn’t have scheduled it so close to Independence Day. Maybe he spent too much on cable advertising and not enough on online marketing. Maybe he could've drawn a bigger crowd if he'd booked more Little Green Men bauble vendors in the lobby.

“I wanted this to be as scientific as possible, not talking about space aliens or that kind of malarkey,” says Senter. “We can’t even get past things flying around in the sky, much less whatever may be inside these vehicles, if that’s what they are. Other countries like France and Chile are acknowledging this without it being a taboo, but we live in a culture where people still make jokes and laugh about it — and it’s got to stop.”

Senter, whose own repeated UFO encounters began when he was a kid and could fill a weird and lengthy book, had hoped his conference might create some sustaining momentum. In fact, high level representatives from two official foreign UFO research agencies — Xavier Passot of France and Jose Lay of Chile — bumped fists for the first time in North Carolina and resumed their data-sharing discussions last month in France. But the needle barely flickered on the home front.

“Oh, people still keep pointing to my conference and talking about it,” Senter concedes. “And our state director came up to me at a conference in Winston-Salem and said she’d gotten an invitation to speak about it at a community college, and that was nice to hear.”

That was Lakita Adams, director of North Carolina’s MUFON chapter, English teacher, and one-time  environmental educator with the North Carolina Zoo. Adams takes the “militant agnostic” approach to The Great Taboo, i.e., pushing no particular theory, but being persistent and public in pursuit of answers. She's been a longtime advocate for college-level engagement. But that was futile until, at the Greensboro conference, she met a Guilford Technical Community College instructor who urged her to approach GTCC admin about staging a lecture.

“It took him about 18 months to get the speaker committee to agree to it,” says Adams, who finally landed a 45-minute GTCC speaking gig in November. Maybe 100 people showed up at the auditorium, and the event was live-streamed to its other campuses. She also got an invite to speak at UNC-Wilmington next April.

“I know Kent was disappointed with the turnout in Greensboro, but I think it probably went much farther than he knows,” Adams says. “It’s difficult, especially when you know most people won’t bother to get acquainted with the good material that’s out there. But you just keep chipping away at it a little bit at a time.”

Sure enough. So here's a rare De Void commercial plug: Go to http://centerforuforesearch.com/buy-dvds.html and order a $69 DVD set. Nope, no Little Green Men here or riveting CGI of Chick-File-A cows getting levitated into beamships, but hey, it's not like you'll be doing any heavy lifting, like having to -- ugh! -- read a book. And when you're done, pass it along to someone of high character at your local oasis of higher learning. If they bite, get back with me and I'll pack my bags.

Mars : le robot Curiosity a trouvé un grand lac

• La Nasa a découvert les traces d'un lac peut-être alimenté par des rivières sur Mars, prouvant une nouvelle fois que la planète rouge a été propice à l'existence d'une vie microbienne.

Une analyse effectuée par le robot Mars Curiosity a permis de découvrir que le sol martien contenait de l'eau. (NASA / AFP)

Selon les scientifiques de la Nasa, le cratère de Gale, exploré par le robot américain Curiosity sur la planète Mars, a renfermé un grand lac alimenté par des rivières pendant des dizaines de millions d'années. Les chercheurs ont fait cette découverte en examinant des roches et les différentes couches sédimentaires de Mars. 

Curiosity, qui s'était posé sur l'équateur martien le 6 août 2012 à 8 km du pied du mont Sharp, procède actuellement à des forages et des analyses sur une des couches sédimentaires du massif. Curiosity a déjà rempli le principal objectif de sa mission en démontrantsédimentaires du massif. Curiosity a déjà rempli le principal objectif de sa mission en démontrant que Mars a été propice dans un passé lointain à l'existence de la vie microbienne.

Layers of intrigue: @MarsCuriosity find clues to how a Martian mountain inside of a crater came to be. Watch: http://youtu.be/oS99yR1cooE

"Le cratère de Gale avait un grand lac s'étendant sur 155 km, peut-être même une série de lacs, suffisamment grands pour avoir existé il y a des millions d'années, le temps de se former, de s'assécher et entre-temps d'accumuler assez de sédiments pour former le mont Sharp", a indiqué Michael Meyer, responsable du programme Curiosity, lundi 8 décembre. "Nous pouvons ainsi répondre à deux grandes questions quant au cratère de Gale : comment s'est formé le mont Sharp et combien de temps l'eau a été présente pour permettre l'existence d'une vie microbienne", a-t-il souligné.

Un climat totalement différent de maintenant

"Nous avons examiné tout un ensemble de roches pour essayer de produire une image du passé du cratère de Gale et maintenant nous commençons à voir une représentation complète", a ajouté Sanjeev Gupta, un des membres de l'équipe scientifique. John Grotzinger, le responsable scientifique de la mission Curiosity, a expliqué que la direction d'écoulement des eaux telle qu'indiquée par la disposition des couches sédimentaires suggère que le mont Sharp, haut de 5 500 m, n'existait pas au moment où il y avait le lac. "Le mont Sharp a été formé par une série d'accumulations de sédiments et d'érosion", a-t-il dit.

Pour qu'un lac aussi vaste et des rivières aient pu exister aussi longtemps sur Mars, il a fallu que le climat soit totalement différent de ce qu'il est depuis deux milliards d'années, à savoir sec et froid. Si le modèle de la formation de mont Sharp de la Nasa est exacte, l'atmosphère martienne était alors beaucoup plus épaisse et plus chaude pour permettre à l'eau d'exister à l'état liquide, selon les scientifiques. En outre, l'atmosphère devait être très humide, ce qui pourrait aussi signifier qu'un océan générait assez d'évaporation pour produire des précipitations capables d'alimenter ce lac et les rivières.

"I Know What I Saw" UFO witnesses from around the world tell their stories

The most credible UFO witnesses from around the world tell their stories and Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut. Government and Military Officials reveal the truth about UFOs.

Director James Fox brings together the testimony of Air Force generals, astronauts, military and commercial pilots, government and FAA officials from seven countries; their accounts reveal the reasons those involved at the highest levels have chosen government secrecy over public UFO disclosure.

The most compelling film on the subject 'UFO' to date.

 

The All Time Top UFO Hotspots From Around The World

UFO sightings are a worldwide phenomenon, with reports coming from almost every nation. Some countries, however, have more reports than others, the ones that continue to have the most UFO sightings over an extended period of time have made  Educating Humanity's Hotspot list.

The Welsh Triangle

The string of sightings around Dyfed, Wales in 1977 had a little bit of everything: UFO sightings, glowing balls of light chasing cars, and aliens looking in people's windows. Best of all: a UFO that liked to hover over a schoolhouse; TVs, radios, and cars that stopped working for no reason; and even the teleportation of a large number of cattle from one place to another. Wales is consistently rated as one of the best places on the planet to see UFOs.

Myrtle Beach South Carolina

You may have never seen an unidentified flying object over Myrtle Beach, but if you live in this area, chances are you know someone who has.The Grand Strand has long had more than its share of UFO sightings. One witness to multiple sightings offers her thoughts..........."Possibility they might be from another planet, possibly they might be time travelers, they might be from another dimension. Some of them might be our military doing exercises out over the ocean'" Check the full story of Myrtle Beach UFO hotspot.

The M-Triangle, Russia

Located about 600 miles east of Moscow, the M-Triangle might be the best place in all of Russia to see a UFO. Residents of this remote mountainous region count mysterious happenings as part of their daily life: strange lights, unidentified flying machines, encounters with translucent beings, and weird symbols and letters written across the sky. There are even reports that people who visit the M-Triangle develop super-human powers, which may be why the place is under constant surveillance by Russia's intelligence agencies. To read the full story on UFOs/aliens Russian M-Triangle. The image with this story is a carved monument in honor of the aliens visiting the region, the first of its kind in the world.

 Warminister, Wiltshire, UK

The vast field of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, southern England, is a stretch of verdant land steeped in history. It's here where the ancient neolithic site of Stonehenge sits, an unscrutable pile of rocks wrapped in mystery. And it's ere, or at least in the town of Warminster, where some of the U.K.'s most impassioned UFO watchers gather atop nearby Cradle Hill in the belief that they can signal extraterrestrial spaceships. In the 60s and 70s, local journalist Arthur Shuttlewood popularized The Warminster Mystery, leading to hundreds, perhaps thousands of independent claims of UFO sightings all coming from this small town. The most common and well documented sightings involve translucent, glowing orange discs that hover and then move in the sky with fantastic speed.

Canada

It is not often we get an opportunity to put an entire country on our UFO hotspot list but UFO sightings in Canada are at an all-time high, according to Canadian sky-gazers. The annual report from Ufology Research claims that between 2011 and 2012 UFO sightings more than doubled. According to witnesses triangles, chevron, boomerang, orbs, spheres and saucer shape craft have been recently seen in in the skies over Canada. One of the most intriguing mass UFO sighting cases occurred in Canada in 1975-76, The Charlie Redstar Flap where UFOs were seen by hundreds of people
nd described as friendly.

Chile's UFO Trail

Over the past two decades residents in Chile's central district have recorded so many UFO sightings that in 2008 the town of Sam Clemente opened a "UFO trail". The 19-mile stretch weaves through the Andes mountains, whose plateaus are said to make great landing pads for the spacecraft. Even though the area has long been known as a destination for UFO sightings, the move likely had a bit more to do with
bringing in tourist dollars than it did unidentified spacecrafts. Along the trail tourists and UFO hunters alike can read signs that detail well-known sightings and visit restaurants, camping sites, hostels and cabins. And though Sernatur — the country's official tourism service — backed the initiative, it nonetheless claims, "In no way can we guarantee that a tourist coming to San Clemente will see a UFO."

Mexico City

On July 11, 1991 a total solar eclipse began over the Pacific Ocean and Hawaii, moved over Mexico and Central America and down to South America, ending in Brazil. In Mexico City, people reported seeing much more than a rare celestial event. In what has been called one of the largest mass UFO sightings ever, a number of Mexicans reported seeing a strange hovering craft as they were watching the eclipse. Sightings also apparently happened in other Mexican cities, but it's hard not to wonder whether some of these people were just seeing spots because they weren't wearing their eclipse safety glasses.

Stephenville, Texas(

Texas is a UFO hotspot in its own right, always ranking at the top of MUFON and UFORC list so that must make Stephenville TX white hot. It has been the location of one of the most incredible mass UFO sightings in the history of the USA.
In January 2008, dozens of people reported something strange hovering in the night sky. It was described as a mile-wide, silent object that flew low to the ground. Some said it moved incredibly fast. A local newspaper reporter said it had very intense, bright lights. The story later made it onto CNN's Larry King Live, which did an entire hour on the sighting. So was it life from another planet? Not so, said the U.S. Air Force a couple weeks later, explaining that ten Air Force Reserve F-16 fighter jets were the cause of the lights seen over the central Texas town. But it's doubtful the Air Force's explanation sufficed for those who witnessed the object. There is even a website dedicated to UFO sightings in Stephenville called the stephenvillelights.com. Follow this link to read the full story on the historic Stephenville UFO Case.

Elk River Minnesota

Know for good fishing and a lot of snow, this unremarkable city north of Minneapolis has had its share of remarkable UFO sightings. The strange happenings began in the 1990's and have not let up since.

Sightings in or near the town of Elk River, Minnesota, have made the area a UFO hot-spot, especially famous sightings and encounters in the 1990's. UFOs were often seen moving low to the ground or hovering, either silently or with a low humming sound. Strange shapes sighted have included cigar, wing, or v-shaped craft, regular old saucers, and even jellyfish shaped UFOs (as seen above left).

---

Pacific Coast Highway, California

UFOs are seen regularly along the Pacific Coast Highway, all the way from San Diego to San Francisco. 

During WWII a craft slowly flew over LA, witnessed by thousands of people, the US military fired off more than 1500 high caliber artillery shells without doing any damage whatsoever. For the full story with pictures and video click here.  . Add in every sci-fi movie from Close Encounters to Independence Day and the fact that the state always leads the country in unexplained sightings, there's only one conclusion: if you really want to see a UFO, California is the place to be.

Colares Island, Brazil

Brazil has been in the forefront of UFO sightings in South America for decades, the government has recently made some strong efforts move UFO disclosure forward. You can read about Brazil's UFO disclosure efforts at this link. There have been many notable and undeniable UFO cases in Brazil especially orginating from Colares Island. 

The Colares flap refers to an outbreak of UFO sightings that occurred in 1977 on the Brazilian Island of Corales. During the outbreak, the UFOs attack left two dead and injured over 100. These sightings led to the Brazilian government dispatching a team to investigate under the codename Operation Saucer (Portuguese: Operação Prato), but the government later recalled the team and classified the files until the
late 1990s. To this day the island of Corales is still seeing UFOs but most sightings rarely make the news.

Bonnybridge, Scotland

There's something special about Bonnybridge, Scotland. Since 1992, the small town has been the sight of an unusually high number of UFO sightings. In fact, Bonnybridge lies in what UFO believers call "The Falkirk Triangle," an area of land between the cities Stirling, Fife and the outer neighborhoods of Edinburgh where people routinely report unidentified objects sailing through the sky. The Scottish
government says it receives over 300 UFO sightings from Bonnybridge and surrounding areas every year.   UFO reports have continued over the years, leading some people to believe they are real. "How do we know aliens aren't walking about?" Bonnybridge Councillor Billy Buchanan told The Scotsman newspaper in 2005. "I have no doubt that Bonnybridge is part of something exciting." Read the full story on UFOs in Bonnybridge, Scotland.

Earth's Orbit - Space

UFOs were seen during Gemini orbital missions and en route to the moon. Shuttle astronauts have spotted them and so have Russian cosmonauts. More than a dozen American and Russian space travelers have spoken openly about encountering UFOs during their missions, yet NASA doesn't want to talk about it. What are they afraid of? What aren't they telling us?

Now that NASA has placed rovers on Mars and new technology allows us to scan the surface of the moon and sun, reports of UFO sightings has dramatically increased from space. 

---

Arizona

Arizona always ranks up at the top of the list on UFO sightings, it could be because of its close proximity to area 51 in Nevada or the often talked about alien base in Dulce New Mexico. It is also home of arguably the largest mass UFO sighting in the history of the world 'The Phoenix Lights' of March 1997.Another UFO hotspot in Arizona is Sedona, a place where UFO Sighting have been famous for decades and many people swear the are has mystical powers.   Some people swear that Arizona
has natural vortexes making it easy for alien craft to come and go. No matter the reason Arizona is blessed or plagued with some of the most incredible UFO sightings in the world on a year round basis.

Nullarbor Plain, Australia

"Crossing the Nullarbor", for many Australians, is a quintessential experience of the "Australian Outback". Stickers bought from roadhouses on the highway show "I have crossed the Nullarbor", and can be seen on vehicles of varying quality or capacity for long distance travel. This place first made its bones as a UFO hotspot when the British military began testing atomic bombs there in the 1950s. Since then, the extremely isolated area has become a hub of intense UFO activity. Numerous people traveling through its harsh desert reported having their cars chased by UFOs. These, plus reports of alien abductions, drove the Australian government to erect a highway sign that reads: "Beware of UFOs."

Area 51 and Surrounding Towns

There are three good reasons why chances of seeing a UFO here are better then average: First off the Extraterrestrial Highway cuts right through the region, can you think of a better place to see a UFO when motoring around the western United States. Second it is home of the Little A'Le'Inn in Rachael Nevada, where like minded UFO enthusiast make a point of exchanging stories about their latest sightings. Next door to Rachael NV is the infamous, least keep secret on the planet, Groom Lake - aka.... Area 51.

San Luis Valley, Colorado

Located in the southern part of the Rocky Mountain State, this area is not only known for multiple UFO sightings, but also cattle mutilations, magic shrubs, and strange creatures living amongst its high altitude sand dunes. One small town in the valley— (Hooper, pop. 200— has had so many UFO sightings, residents have erected a UFO spotting tower. Some speculate the area's large uranium deposits are what
interests the ETs. Colorado consistently has the highest number of UFO sightings per person in the USA.

Waycliffe Well, Australia

You really don't want to go to Wycliffe Well in Australia's Northern Territory and not see a UFO: "Sightings are so common, that if you stayed up all night looking you would be considered unlucky not to see anything." Supposedly, earthlings have been witnessing UFOs in this part of the Outback since World War II. But hey, if you turn out to be one of those "unlucky" sightseers, at least you get to lay eyes on Elvis! (In
statue form). And wouldn't you know? This very same place apparently has a vast beer selection.

Asteroid approaches Earth 20 times bigger than Chelyabinsk Meteor

There could be up to 10 million asteroids and meteors in the Solar System, which are 15 meters and more in diameter, and only 10,000 have been detected so far, says Anatoly Zaitsev, the General Director of the Citadel Project at the Planetary Security Center.

At the end of October Russian astronomers discovered a new cosmic body, which became known as asteroid 2014 UR116. It is 20 times larger than the Chelyabinsk meteorite. The cosmic body’s trajectory will run near Venus and Mars, and there is a possibility that its path will shift towards our planet.

According to rtbh.com -Denis Denisenko, an astronomer at Moscow State University's Astronomical Institute said: “We estimate that in the next six years it will not collide with Earth. The uncertainty of its position in space during the next encounter with Earth in October 2017 is calculated to be 1.8 million kilometers, but it is still impossible to predict the date or even the approximate place where 2014 UR116 might hit Earth but the asteroid's future encounter with Mars and Venus, can substantially change its orbit.”

Denisenko: “Asteroids of this size (about 370 meters long) are capable of causing a catastrophe, but not the end of humanity.”

Now, leading scientists and astronomers join and they are calling for more action to prevent a devastating asteroid strike.

The first stage in creating an international system for protecting the Earth from unwanted newcomers - the emergency-response stage - could be implemented within five to seven years, provided there is the political will, since we have all the necessary technologies, says Zaitsev.

Twenty organizations from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan are taking part in Citadel Project. The project involves the creation of a space observation and detection segment, two regional planetary-security centers, as well as reconnaissance and interception services.

The space segment will detect potentially dangerous objects on remote approaches to the Earth and will send to them a spy vehicle to clarify their trajectory. Then it will trigger an interceptor vehicle carrying a nuclear explosive device.

The interceptor is expected to weigh 4 tonnes and deliver a nuclear charge of 2 megatonnes. Before the conflict started in Ukraine, the plan had involved the use of Zenit carrier rockets.

"The simulation conducted in Snezhinsk showed that an asteroid with a 500-meter diameter could be destroyed by a distributed nuclear charge of 10 units, each with a 1-megatonne capacity and he reckons that prospective missile defense weapons could be used for regional protection against asteroids, but by now, the Emergency Situations Ministry has created a system for predicting possible asteroid impact sites, which will allow to warn the public about a potentially dangerous situation well beforehand" Zaitsev said.

Cosmic Glow Discovered --"Radiates More Light than All the Known Galaxies in the Universe"

December 7, 2014 - Using an experiment carried into space on a NASA suborbital rocket, astronomers at Caltech and their colleagues have detected a diffuse cosmic glow that appears to represent more light than that produced by known galaxies in the universe. Initially some researchers proposed that this light came from the very first galaxies to form and ignite stars after the Big Bang. CalTech researchers say that the best explanation is that the cosmic light originates from stars that were stripped away from their parent galaxies and flung out into space as those galaxies collided and merged with other galaxies.

  The discovery suggests that many such previously undetected stars permeate what had been thought to be dark spaces between galaxies, forming an interconnected sea of stars. "Measuring such large fluctuations surprised us, but we carried out many tests to show the results are reliable," says CalTech Fellow Michael Zemcov, who led the study. 

Although they cannot be seen individually, "the total light produced by these stray stars is about equal to the background light we get from counting up individual galaxies," says Bock, also a senior research scientist at JPL. Bock is the principal investigator of the rocket project, called the Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment, or CIBER, which originated at Caltech and flew on four rocket flights from 2009 through 2013.

In earlier studies, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, which sees the universe at longer wavelengths, had observed a splotchy pattern of infrared light called the cosmic infrared background. The splotches are much bigger than individual galaxies. "We are measuring structures that are grand on a cosmic scale," says Zemcov, "and these sizes are associated with galaxies bunching together on a large-scale pattern."

CIBER was designed to help settle the debate. "CIBER was born as a conversation with Asantha Cooray, a theoretical cosmologist at UC Irvine and at the time a postdoc at Caltech with [former professor] Marc Kamionkowski," Bock explains. "Asantha developed an idea for studying galaxies by measuring their large-scale structure. Galaxies form in dark-matter halos, which are over-dense regions initially seeded in the early universe by inflation. Furthermore, galaxies not only start out in these halos, they tend to cluster together as well. Asantha had the brilliant idea to measure this large-scale structure directly from maps. Experimentally, it is much easier for us to make a map by taking a wide-field picture with a small camera, than going through and measuring faint galaxies one by one with a large telescope."

Cooray originally developed this approach for the longer infrared wavelengths observed by the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory. "With its 3.5-meter diameter mirror, Herschel is too small to count up all the galaxies that make the infrared background light, so he instead obtained this information from the spatial structure in the map," Bock says.

"Meanwhile, I had been working on near-infrared rocket experiments, and was interested in new ways to use this unique idea to study the extragalactic background," he says. The extragalactic infrared background represents all of the infrared light from all of the sources in the universe, "and there were some hints we didn't know where it was all coming from.

Alien abduction thriller seeks to bring topic to the forefront

Filming for Abductee , a found-footage thriller about alien abduction, will soon be underway, but the movie’s producer says it “is more than just a film; it is a social movement.”

In their press release, the movie’s production company, Collective Minds Media, writes that they are not only beginning production on an alien abduction movie, but also developing an abductee support community.

The movie is described as, “a found-footage style film that explores the bizarre and misunderstood world of alien abduction. Through a first-person account, we come to know the fear and mental anguish that befalls a suburban man as he attempts to unravel the mystery of what happens to him when he is alone in the middle of the night.”

William Hopp

William Hopp, the movie’s writer and director says, “It is a psychological thriller that focuses on the emotional trauma that alien abductees go through on a day to day basis.”

Hopp says he did a lot of research when writing his script. Although it is a horror movie, he hopes the movie will have a therapeutic effect to people who believe they are experiencing alien abduction. He wants to help give alien abductees a voice.

The press release states, “It is the filmmakers’ goal that Abductee will illuminate the stigmatized world of alien abductees and provide them with a common bond to enable group support and healing.”

Hopp says most of the funding has come from crowd sourcing and that he has purposely sought non-traditional routes of funding in order to help keep the movie  accurate. According to the press release, “Privately funding the film has allowed the filmmakers to produce a movie that enlists the support of abductees and alien experts from the ground up. Keeping investors out of the mix will keep the film free of the control exerted by Hollywood executives and movie studios, which can destroy a film’s purpose and impact.”

Paranormal expert James Smith feels the movie is treating the subject respectfully. He says, “I really agree the movie respects the community because it’s not making those effected out to be complete and total fringe weirdoes.”

Hopp appeared on Open Minds UFO Radio while seeking funds for production, but has come a long way since then. He has enlisted the help of Emmy award winning producer and director Trisha Krik. She won her Emmy in 2009 for her work on the popular A&E reality program Intervention.

They have also locked in the majority of the filming locations and their two leads, Virginia Newcomb and Dusty Sorg. The two have 25 years of accumulated experience in TV and film.

Odd distribution of organics in Titan’s atmosphere could be a sign of extraterrestrial life

A recent, brief observation of Saturn’s moon Titan revealed unusual groupings of organic molecules in the atmosphere.

Scientists made the discovery while observing Titan’s atmosphere using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile’s Atacama desert. “A single 3 minute observation revealed organic molecules that are askew in the atmosphere of Titan,” Universe Today explains. “The molecules in question should be smoothly distributed across the atmosphere, but they are not.”

A National Radio Astronomy Observatory press release calls this a “potentially groundbreaking discovery.”

Universe Today points out that, “When one hears there is a strange, skewed combination of organic compounds somewhere, the first thing to come to mind is life.” So far, researchers don’t have an obvious explanation for the discovery. But they are exploring other possible causes.

“These ALMA observations give us new insights into how organic molecules, the building blocks of life, form and evolve in a planet-like environment,” says astronomer Anthony Remijan of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. “It is exciting to imagine the new discoveries ALMA will enable as we look more deeply at other interesting objects in our Solar System.”

The research on these unexpected variations in Titan’s atmosphere was published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Another powerful tool in the hunt for extraterrestrial life, the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), is currently under construction, and is also in Chile’s Atacama desert. This tool will be the world’s largest optical and infrared telescope when it is completed in 2024, and it will have the ability to directly image exoplanets and study the atmospheres of planets, helping scientists identify worlds that may support life as we know it.

Mars is wit en andere ontdekkingen na twee jaar Mars Curiosity - HLN.be

Bron: NASA, ScienceNews 

© ap.

Curiosity Tijdens zijn eerste twee jaren op Mars ontdekte NASA's Curiosity dat er ooit leven mogelijk was op de Rode Planeet. Een gigantische ontdekking, waar tien jaren van voorbereidingen, technische moeilijkheden en overwinningen aan vooraf gingen. In zijn boek 'Mars Rover Curiosity' biedt hoofdingenieur Rob Manning een exclusieve blik achter de schermen van het project.

'Mars Rover Curiosity, An inside account from Curiosity's chief engineer' biedt de lezer een getuigenverslag van de planning en de bouw van het meest complexe staaltje machinerie dat ooit ontworpen is om op een andere planeet te landen. Technische uitdagingen, bezuinigingen en ontwerpwijzigingen achtervolgden het team, wat uiteindelijk leidde tot twee jaar uitstel van de missie.

Maar tien jaar en twee miljard dollar later kan het team het ene succes na het andere vieren. Afgelopen zomer vierde de Curiosity zijn tweede verjaardag op Mars. In die tijd deed de Marswagen tal van baanbrekende ontdekkingen. Een overzicht.

• Marsjeep Curiosity bereikt doel van zijn reis

Sporen van een oude rivierbedding

Een van zijn eerste ontdekkingen deed de Curiosity al vlak na de landing op Mars. In september 2012 vond de Marsjeep rotsen die vermoedelijk afgerond en afgevlakt waren door een oude rivier. De lagen van het grondgesteente zijn volgens wetenschappers het bewijs dat er ooit een kniediepe waterstroom was. Waar het water naartoe ging, is nog niet duidelijk: mogelijk verdween het in de rotsen of verdampte het in de atmosfeer.

Leven op Mars?

In december 2012 maakte NASA groot nieuws bekend. De Curiosity had in de bodem van de Rode Planeet heel wat tekenen van leven gevonden. Uit metingen bleek dat de juiste omstandigheden er aanwezig waren om levende microben te ondersteunen. Door in de gesteenten te boren, ontdekte de Marsjeep de sleutelingrediënten die leven mogelijk maken: koolstof, waterstof, zuurstof, fosfor en zwavel. De kleimineralen en het weinige zout die gevonden werden, wijzen uit dat er ooit drinkbaar water geweest kan zijn.

Het beste bewijs dat tot nu toe gevonden werd, zijn foto's van kiezelstenen die de Curiosity nam in de Gale-krater. De stenen zijn samengesteld uit zand, zoals typisch in rivierbeddingen op Aarde. Wanneer stenen door wind en zandstormen verweren, worden ze rauw en hoekig. Maar volgens wetenschappers is te zien dat nagenoeg alle van de 515 geanalyseerde kiezelstenen vlak, glad en afgeslepen zijn.

Gevaarlijke stralingen

Aan de hand van gegevens die de Curiosity in zijn eerste 300 dagen op de planeet verzamelde, kon in mei 2013 voor het eerst worden vastgesteld aan hoeveel straling astronauten worden blootgesteld tijdens een reis naar Mars. De stralingen overschrijden de limiet die NASA vooropstelt. Op basis van deze informatie kunnen ruimtevaartuigen en ruimtepakken gebouwd worden die mensen tijdens verre ruimtereizen kunnen beschermen.

Geen methaan, geen leven?

In september 2013 stelde NASA vast dat de Curiosity nog geen enkel spoor van methaan had gevonden in de atmosfeer van Mars. Dat doet de kans dat er leven is slinken. Levende organismen, zoals wij die kennen, produceren methaan. Om te bewijzen dat er ooit leven op Mars was, gingen wetenschappers daarom op zoek naar deze substantie. De zoektocht gaat intussen nog steeds verder.

Mars is wit

Wetenschappers verwonderen zich over de variëteit aan grond- en steensoorten die gevonden werden in de Gale-krater. De Curiosity ontdekte er verschillende soorten grind, vulkanische gesteenten, duinen, moddergesteenten en barsten vol mineralen. Uit foto's blijkt overigens dat de rode stof die de planeet kenmerkt maar een dun laagje is. Daaronder is Mars wit.

Onlangs bereikte de Marsjeep zijn ultieme bestemming, Mount Sharp. De Curiosity zal de komende jaren de geologische lagen van de berg onderzoeken.

Ex-werkneemster NASA: "Ik zag mensen op Mars in 1979"

Bron: metro.co.uk 

© NASA.

COMPLOTTHEORIE 'Jackie', een vrouw die beweert een ex-werkneemster van NASA te zijn, zegt dat ze samen met zes collega's in 1979 op videobeelden twee menselijke wezens in ruimtepakken op Mars heeft gezien. De twee zouden rustig rond het ruimtevaartuig Viking gewandeld hebben. Dat zou bewijs leveren van de meest gigantische cover-up in de ruimtevaartgeschiedenis. Als het waar is natuurlijk...

Een en ander kwam aan de oppervlakte toen 'Jackie' haar verhaal via een radioprogramma vertelde aan John Lear, een voormalige CIA-piloot, ufoloog en een bekende aanhanger van complottheorieën. Het audiofragment werd op YouTube gepost en de bal ging aan het rollen.

De vrouw zegt dat ze bij NASA samen met zes collega's beelden van de Viking op verscheidene monitors aan het bekijken was, toen ze plots twee mannen in ruimtepak zag. "Niet die volumineuze die wij normaal gebruikten, maar toch beschermpakken. Ze wandelden naar de Viking." De Viking Mars Lander was de voorloper van Marsjeep Curiosity en het eerste vehikel dat foto's van de oppervlakte van de rode planeet naar de aarde kon sturen.

Plots geen beeld meer
En toen werden de beelden stopgezet, zegt 'Jackie'. Ze ging vervolgens naar boven, maar de deur was op slot en afgeplakt met papier om het zicht te beletten. Haar vraag aan Lear was of de bewuste kerels die ze had gezien al dan niet collega's van NASA waren.

John Lear, die eerder onder meer al beweerde dat NASA in 1966 op Mars was geland, antwoordde dat het waarschijnlijk technici van NASA waren die herstellingen uitvoerden aan de Viking. De lichte ruimtepakken waren volgens hem zelfs niet nodig omdat de mens zich kan aanpassen aan de atmosfeer van Mars.

Bedenkelijk
Het YouTube-fragment werd in september gepost maar zegt niks over de datum van uitzending op de radio. Het is opvallend dat 'Jackie' het over een "27-jaar oud mysterie" heeft, terwijl 1979 inmiddels 35 jaar geleden is. Niemand van haar collega's heeft haar verhaal tot nog toe bevestigd.

John Lear heeft dan weer een heel bedenkelijke reputatie als liefhebber van samenzweringstheorieën. Officieel heeft er nog nooit een mens een voet op Mars gezet. Maar sommigen geloven in geheime landingen op de rode planeet in de jaren 60 en 70 van vorige eeuw.

Water heeft op Mars een berg gevormd  - HLN.be

Bron: Belga

Mars Onderzoek van de succesrijke robotjeep Mars Curiosity heeft geleerd dat de berg Mount Sharp in het landingsgebied door... water is gevormd. Dat heeft het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA vandaag gemeld. De vondst heeft nog grotere implicaties.

De Curiosity is geland in de Gale-krater en daar staat zowaar een vijf km hoge berg, de Mount Sharp. De onderste flanken ervan bestaan uit honderden dunne lagen rotsgesteente.

De berg lijkt te zijn gevormd door sedimentatie, waarbij een groot meer in de loop van tientallen miljoenen jaren laag na laag heeft afgezet. Die verschillende sedimentslagen zijn afwisselend gevormd door het meer, dan weer door de wind en dan weer door een stromende rivier

Dat zou betekenen dat Mars vroeger een klimaat heeft gekend, waarin grote meren lange tijd konden bestaan. Dat staat haaks op de nu geldende theorie die zegt dat warme en natte condities slechts tijdelijk en lokaal voorkwamen of zelfs ondergronds waren.

Alien movie ‘Ejecta’ plays on secret government conspiracies

IFC Midnight is making it clear that UFOs and aliens are a key focus in the company’s content portfolio. The subsidiary of AMC Networks acquired distribution rights to two UFO-related films earlier this year: Hangar 10 and Extraterrestrial. And, this distribution label has reportedly just acquired distribution rights for another UFO-related movie titled Ejecta.

Poster for Ejecta.

Entertainment news website Bloody Disgusting describes that, in Ejecta, “reclusive UFO conspiracy theorist William Cassidy is taken prisoner by a secret government agency investigating the arrival of an alien life form. Through flashbacks they uncover the terrifying details of what happened the night the alien returned and changed everything we thought we knew about the universe.”

The movie was written by Tony Burgess, directed by Chad Archibald and Matt Wiele, and produced by independent studio Foresight Features. Dee Wallace, the mom from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, makes a cameo in this film. The film also stars Julian Richings, Lisa Houle, and Adam Seybold.

Ejecta premiered back in August at the 2014 Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal. It’s unclear what IFC Midnight has planned for the movie. But, if it follows the same formula used for Hangar 10 and Extraterrestrial, the movie will soon be made available as video-on-demand, and released in select theaters.
