Unexplained Floating Ball Of Fire Spotted Over Argentina, Possible UFO

A bystander has caught video of a mysterious floating fireball that appears to hang over the sky in Argentina. With no explanation available many are claiming it to be a UFO.

The video was actually taken at the beginning of January but has only just been uploaded onto the internet. According to UFO Sightings Daily, local residents in Frías spotted the fireball and at first believed it was nothing more than a meteor.

Of course meteors move at very high speeds when entering the Earth's atmosphere and so tend to appear and disappear in seconds.

UFOs come in many shapes and sizes, from your 'classic metallic disc' that has a tendency to float above well-known landmarks, to your less common 'fiery ball of death' UFO which appears, burns very brightly and then promptly disappears.

There are usually explanations for all of these, and in time, one will probably present itself for this one too. Until that point however we're none the wiser and neither is everyone else so watch, enjoy, and relish in shameless speculation.

UFOs Outside The International Space Station: Why Do We Keep Seeing Them?

Humans have been in continuous orbit aboard the International Space Station for 14 years and 85 days.

In that time 216 individual astronauts from 15 nations have circled the Earth around 90,000 times, travelling just shy of 8km a second, watching the sun rise once every 45 minutes.

Occasionally, they see stuff outside in the dark.

And occasionally, so do people down here.

Whether NASA likes it or not, ISS is increasingly becoming a real focus for UFO hunters. Last week a piece of footage supposedly showing something rising above the horizon became the basis for one of the most popular stories on this website in recent weeks.

So what was it? And why do UFO hunters keep claiming that ISS is more than it appears - even though, as almost everyone knows, this is largely a huge waste of everyone's time?

The Astronaut Sightings

"I saw some lights that seemed to be in a line and it was almost like an upside-down check mark," astronaut Leroy Chiao told HuffPost last year, about a famous incident during a space walk outside ISS in 2005.

"And I saw them fly by and thought it was awfully strange."

But no, it wasn't aliens. Like several such 'eerie sightings' by ISS astronauts over the years, this was a case of disquieting - but mistaken - unidentity.

"It wasn't just one fishing boat, but a line of them strung out along the South American coast," Chiao said. "That's why it looked like five lights from the ISS."

Chiao's story is similar to several incidents in the long history of ISS.

The fact is that while 'unexplained' or weird sightings of lights and even objects have been reported throughout the history of the space race, none have ever held any real weight as UFO 'experiences'.

When astronaut Chris Cassidy saw a UFO floating past his window in 2013? That was an antenna cover. When Italy's Samantha Cristoforetti reported an "almost alien" presence outside the space station, she was commenting on the sunshine and not an actual alien. And no, slightly pausing before answering a UFO question is not the same thing as saying you saw one.

As it turns out, all the reports by ISS astronauts of aliens' fall into the same problems as those seen by other space travellers. Like the time Gemini IV pilot saw a rotating white cylinder in space? (A rocket booster.) The circular 'objects' that approached the Space Shuttle in 1996? A video illusion. And no, there weren't any aliens outside the Apollo 11 capsule, despite some poorly-worded quotes indicating the contrary.

The Sightings From Earth

There is a loose theory which states any sufficiently over-analysed event will eventually appear inexplicable.

Whether it's an assassination or a sports event, the theory says that if enough people scour enough video and photographic evidence, they can use it to explain pretty much anything.

In the case of ISS, that's a bit of a problem.

There have always been cameras on board the space station. And there have always been publicly-available archives of images and video clips to scour for any minute imperfection - a blip of data, a reflecting light - to blow up on Photoshop and claim as evidence of a UFO.

Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream

But as of 2014, NASA has been broadcasting - and archiving constant, live high-definition video of Earth. Almost immediately UFOs started showing up (on YouTube). And since then things have gotten a bit out of hand.

Since October alone at least four UFOs appear to have been recorded outside ISS. Earlier this year someone even spotted a ship 'docked' with the space station. Many of these typically pixelated, slowed-down clips are the work of the notorious UFO sleuth Streetcap1, who documents large numbers of UFO sightings on his Facebook page and on YouTube (he has almost 10,000 subscribers), which are collected by UFOSightingsDaily and - from time to time - republished by sites like ours. And now they turn up all, the, time.

In one clip recently the NASA feed seemed to cut off right after a grey shape (probably the Moon) emerged over the horizon. Streetcap1 said it definitely wasn't the Moon, but which turned out to be the Moon. In the meantime we wrote a short, sceptical post about it and it ended up being shared on Facebook 60,000 times.

So what's going on?

First, let's just assume for the moment that these objects aren't really aliens. There is, of course, a minute possibility that they are - though we'd need a bit more than a shiny light in the far distance of a 10-second video to believe it.

In reality, this just seems like a problem of volume. The amount of footage being streamed constantly from ISS means that something with some imperfection is almost always going to turn up somewhere in a week's worth of video - if you look hard enough, you'll find a bright object in the background, just as you would if it was live-streamed video of any other dark area.

And it's not as if there aren't a whole load of possible explanations: stray asteroids, space debris, reflections and even an oddly-shaped Moon have all been blamed for sightings in the past.

• "Spacecraft-generated 'dandruff' has been seen since the very first human spaceflights, when the non-intuitive relative motions and impossible-to-judge distances in the earthly environment of outer space tricked observers into misinterpreting visual stimuli," James Oberg, a former space engineer who specialized in NASA space shuttle operations, told HuffPost recently.
• "It shouldn't be surprising that only half a century later, most folks watching YouTube videos are still totally flummoxed by what they understandably and excusably can't comprehend… It's good to keep scanning space video for possible anomalies and reporting them quickly. The reason is, there is always a real chance that it could be a genuine anomaly, either a spacecraft malfunction or other threat, expected or unexpected. In the past, missions have failed because a clue that should have been seen out the window was overlooked."

Ultimately, though, sites like Examiner.com -- and us -- also share some of the blame. For whatever reason, 'UFO Outside ISS' makes for a fairly good and easy headline - and so we and others often end up taking the bait and publishing it, although usually in honest jest rather than pretend surprise. We'll try to resist that in future - and we'll always let you know what we really think is going on in a particular trending clip.

Whatever you think about aliens, however, it's hard not to admit that it is a nice idea - that an astronaut dreamily looking out of the Cupola window might see ET flying past in a saucer.

Still, in reality, the really amazing things they can see from that isolated, cold pressurised can are all down here on Earth:

NASA: There Is A Giant Square Structure Hidden Under The Moon

Usually when someone on the internet writes about 'geometric forms' found on the Moon, it's a crazy UFO hunter who doesn't understand pixelation of composite images taken at high altitudes.

This is different.

Scientists report that rifts across large areas of the Moon's surface actually forms an enormous rectangle.

The area in question is the Ocean of Storms, an enormous and obvious feature of the Moon which was once thought to literally contain an ocean.

In the modern era of astronomy it has been understood - of course - that the 'Ocean' is actually just another area of basalt rock (the technical term is 'maria', which is just Latin for 'sea').

But it had always been assumed that the shape was a 2,000-mile-wide crater caused by an asteroid impact - and represented a lucky escape for Earth.

Now they're not so sure. In fact a new study suggests that the ocean was actually caused by cooling lava on the early Moon - and that the satellite was actually far more active and dynamic than we used to think.

The discovery was made using data from NASA's GRAIL mission, which mapped the gravity of the Lunar surface in exquisite detail. The images revealed that the topography of the surface in the area is almost a perfect rectangle - indicating it formed as the Moon's surface moved apart from itself.

• "GRAIL has revealed features on the moon that no one anticipated before we had this data in hand," said lead study author Jeffrey Andrews-Hanna, a planetary scientist at the Colorado School of Mines, according to Space.com. "One can only wonder what might lie hidden beneath the surfaces of all of the other planets in the solar system."

Andrews-Hanna added that the "pattern of gravity anomalies on the moon is so strikingly geometric and in such an unexpected shape that it is forcing us to think in new and different ways about the processes operating on the moon".

The working theory is that the early molten moon cooled in a similar way to the early Earth, where lava tends to cool in hexagonal columns. This happens because where three cracks intersect, they tend to do it at 120-degree angles - and a hexagon is the only shape on a flat surface where all the angles can be 120 degrees.

But on the Moon, in the Procellarum region, the surface is curved not flat - and a rectangle can form with 120 degree corners. Hence the square-like structure.

So no, it's not a giant space station under Lunar surface. But it's interesting and unexpected anyway, and could lead to lots of new interesting ways of thinking about the Moon and other planets.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft zooms in on Pluto

January 27, 2015 - Pluto, get ready for your close-up.

After traveling nine years across more than 3 billion miles of space, a spacecraft the size of a grand piano is about to give humanity its first high-resolution view of the dwarf planet that's about two-thirds the size of our moon.

Nobody knows what the rendezvous will reveal. Pluto's icy surface may resemble an extreme version of Antarctica, with snow-capped mountains, steep crevasses and towering ice cliffs. The planet could be surrounded by rings of tiny ice particles, like its giant neighbor Neptune. There may even be evidence that an ancient ocean once sloshed beneath the frozen crust of its largest moon, Charon.

When it comes to Pluto, nothing is certain.

"Our knowledge of Pluto is quite meager," said planetary scientist Alan Stern, the principal investigator for the NASA mission known as New Horizons. "It is very much like our knowledge of Mars was before our first mission there 50 years ago."

New Horizons is poised to change all that. Sunday, the spacecraft's long-range cameras will begin snapping pictures of Pluto and its moons against a backdrop of stars. New Horizons has been taking detailed measurements of the dust and charged particles in the dwarf planet's environment since mid-January.

More data will be collected during the months leading up to the mission's big moment this summer: a close approach on July 14 that will take the spacecraft just 7,700 miles from Pluto's surface.

From that distance, New Horizons will be able to determine what the dwarf planet is made of, create temperature maps of its multi-colored surface, and look for auroras in its thin atmosphere. Scientists and the public will see the first high-definition images this summer.

Until now, the best pictures astronomers have managed to get consist of a few hazy pixels that were captured by the Hubble Space Telescope more than a decade ago. The resolution is so poor that if you looked at a comparable image of Earth, you wouldn't be able to distinguish the continents from the seas.

The instruments on New Horizons will take images so detailed that if they were pictures of Los Angeles, they would show individual runways at Los Angeles International Airport, said Stern, who is based at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo.

"What I'm most looking forward to is taking this point of light and transforming it into a planet," he said.

The existence of a planet beyond Neptune was first hypothesized in the early 20th century after scientists noticed what they thought were disturbances in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. Those wobbles turned out to be measurement errors, but decades of searching for the elusive "Planet X" led astronomers to Pluto in 1930.

Despite its great distance and diminutive size, scientists have been able to glean a remarkable amount of information from the anemic data gathered so far. By watching Pluto's movements across the night sky, they deduced that it takes 248 Earth years to make one trip around the sun. Because Pluto's brightness oscillates in a regular pattern, they think it makes a complete rotation on its axis every 6.4 Earth days.

Astronomers also noted that Pluto ventures far above and below the paths of the major planets in our night sky, leading them to conclude that its orbital plane has a distinctive tilt.

Close observations have revealed that Pluto has at least five moons — the biggest being Charon, which is about the size of Texas.

Strange Fireball makes maneuvers in the sky over Frias, Argentina

In our previous article 'There is a secret Space War going on? Four strange Fireballs falling from the sky over Texas City, TX' we reported on the many strange 'burning' objects falling from the skies in recent months (Puerto Rico and Portoalegre in Brazil, Russia's Amur Region, Utah sky, San Antonio, Charlottetown in Canada, Kingman Arizona, Texas City, Texas). And in most cases, the object made strange movements and disappeared.

Yet, another strange phenomenon was spotted yesterday afternoon which was recorded by several residents of the city of Frías in Argentina.

A strange light made movements in the sky, like it was under intelligent control and this went on until the "light" disappeared.

People filmed the phenomenon with their cellphone cameras and sent the information to the whatsapp feed of Nuevo Diario (385 523 3425).

According to Nuevodiarioweb.com: One witness said "What we saw was like a meteor." Others said: "In the sky it looked like a point of radiating light and it moved from one side to the other."

The video below shows a close up of the burning V-shaped fireball captured over Brazil in January 4, 2015.

Hovering UFO recorded over Miami, Florida approached by another UFO

New interesting video footage of two UFO lights recorded while hovering above Miami, Florida.

Witness said:
This was seen this week and recorded over Miami, Florida, looking northeast direction from Brickell area. It started as a single light that was changing between what looks to be white and red colors, hovering over the city. Then another one came into the sky and they seem to have started interacting together. Eventually it got a bit scary because one of them seemed to have started to approach the individual recording it.

Very interesting. After doing some research on YouTube, other videos are found that show a very similar occurrence. Yes, it is possible to be drones, but is it likely? Until it can be identified, it is still a UFO. The objects have seemed to also project sounds described as hissing or wobbling sounds that had a low and high pitches. However, those sounds were also being heard along with the city noises that are always there, so disruption of actual sound was probably created.

This video was recorded at approximately 10:15PM EST (daylight savings). The other videos found on YouTube are during day light, but look just like these flying objects.

US government releases 12,000 UFO files

Microfilms of over 12,000 UFO sightings compiled by the US government are now available online at projectbluebook.theblackvault.com. They were captured under the US’ Project Blue Book program, which ran from 1948 until 1970, during both the Cold War and the Space Race. Most of the sightings have been identified, but the exciting part of the story is that 701 of the sightings have not been solved. So what are you waiting for, amateur sleuths? Get to work!

Tennessee witness ‘panicked’ over UFO chase

(Credit: Google)

A Tennessee witness at Silerton reported being chased by two UFOs as both his cell phone and vehicle radio went off beginning at 6:15 a.m. on January 27, 2015, according to testimony in Case 62906 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witnesses’ story begins just after 5 a.m. while completing a rural paper delivery route in the Silerton area when the sound of a helicopter was heard while at a stop sign.

“This is not unusual,” the witness stated. “As things get pretty boring on my route I tend to notice things out of the ordinary. I sat for about two minutes awaiting the helicopter as the sounds grew closer. I couldn’t find them in the sky so I continued on my route.”

But four miles down the road, the witness caught sight of a helicopter over the tree line.

“I sped up around the corner to see if maybe an accident had happened. I initially thought this was a medical helicopter. As I rounded the corner, I could see three obvious military helicopters. I am not an expert on aircraft nor have I served in the military. We have a National Guard armory in town, so I am well versed in the site of military craft. I figured that’s all it was.”

The witness continued on his route, but at 6:15 a.m., he drove into a wide open three-mile straight away and noticed something “completely unusual” – two stars in the sky both brighter than Venus.

“And they appeared to be traveling closer together as they were on opposite sides of the road. Initially I thought it could be a brain matrix as sometimes when you travel stationary objects appear to move. And there were two slight curves in the road.”

As the witness moved along the straight roadway he watched the bright lights and assumed they were the landing lights of a nearby airplane.

“Instantly I knew this was not the case as I see dozens of these every night. My focus went back to determining if they were stationary objects or not. They appeared to still be traveling as both object were now in my windshield and I was traveling straight.”

The witness slowed to a complete stop and was able to determine that the objects were indeed moving – they were now moving toward each other and were about to cross paths. The witness then tried to flash his vehicle lights at the objects.

The witness was in a rural area near Silerton, TN, when the two UFOs were first noticed on January 27, 2015. (Credit: Google)

“As this is a very open area and very secluded with little to no population, I figured if I could see them, perhaps they can see me. I flashed my lights in a distinct order – two times fast, and a pause for about half a second, and then flashed a second time.”

The witness then began to move his vehicle forward again – but then he noticed the objects had stopped.

“When on a dime both objects stopped without slowing down. As soon as this happened my heart sank and my face became numb and flush with panic. I froze in place and could not think fast enough what to do next.”

The objects appeared to be flashing their lights back at the witness.

“The object on the right blinked and then the object on the left blinked and then together they blinked about half a second later – in the exact sequence I flashed my lights in.”

The witness panicked.

“I immediately sped to the next driveway. I felt as if I needed to hide. I pulled into a driveway and parked where the trees blocked my view of the object that was on the right. I sat for a few seconds and grabbed my phone. I wanted to text my wife and just tell her what was going on.”

But then something unusual happened to the electronics in the witness vehicle.

“I looked at my phone and watched the battery go from 92 percent to 0 and shut off. I was listening to the radio station 107.7 – the Bob and Sheri Show was on. And the station completely went out. I hit the scan button on my radio and could not pick up a single station. The static in the station began to pulsate in the same sequence I flashed my lights.”

The witness was most likely north of Silerton, TN, heading toward Route 100 during the encounter. (Credit: Google)

The witness decided to get out of the area and drive home.

“A minute or two had passed at this point and my only thought was to drive home. I didn’t even finish my route. I didn’t want to continue northbound and see the objects. As I looked out of my window the object was now hovering just above the trees where I could see it. This felt intentional to me. I sped off southbound trying to get home.”

The witness thought he had moved away from the objects.

“I could not see the objects in my rear view mirror. And I felt relived. I was now on a road surrounded by trees on all sides. I noticed at this point it was a very cloudy sky. Usually the sun would be coming out at this point and there were no stars in the sky.”

But a short time later, the witness noticed one of the objects following him.

“I could now see through the trees as I was driving and one object was following me southbound. As I came to another clearing, I noticed the object seemed further away, but was not traveling away from me, but in the same direction. I then noticed that the objects were actually stacked on top of each other. And they were flashing what I can only describe as a beam.”

The witness described the beam.

“It appeared to look like when you shine a flashlight in the sky at night when some fog is present. The beam didn’t come all the way down to the ground. It appeared to only travel a short distance from the objects. They were shinning this light in all directions.”

The witness tried to move away from the objects.

“I tried to slow down. But as I slowed, the objects slowed.”

The witness then turned east onto Montezuma Road.

“The objects, for a moment, were behind me. I turned off to highway 100 east heading toward Henderson, TN. And the objects were now on my right-hand side as if they just appeared there.”

The witness became scared at this point and decided to take a back road into a more populated area surround by more tree cover.

“As I turned northbound onto Wilson School Road, after about a mile, I entered into tree cover. I noticed a school bus in front me and felt safer for some reason. As I looked to the sky I could not see the objects anymore. I continued on this road for another two miles and turned east onto Sanford Road.”

But the witness again saw the objects.

“As I looked out my window I could see the objects again through the trees – still had no radio stations. I was at almost the exact spot I saw the helicopters earlier. And as soon as I noticed where I was at, two helicopters were seen flying about 150 feet above the tree lines headed in the direction of the craft.”

The two UFOs appeared to chase the witness after he flashed his headlights at them along this rural area north of Silerton and heading toward route 100. (Credit: Google)

The electronics at this point came back on.

“The radio made the static sound again in the same sequence and it popped back on. I could no longer see the craft. I reached down for my phone and pressed the power button and it booted up. Battery was 92 percent, but my clock was in Eastern time zone. After about a minute it changed back to Central time.”

The witness is upset over the encounter.

“This was without a doubt the most bizarre thing to ever happen to me. I don’t feel comfortable even discussing this with my wife. I’m actually terrified to go back to work tomorrow.”

Silerton is a town in Chester and Hardeman counties in the western part of Tennessee, population 111.

2004 BL86 Asteroid has a Friend!

Asteroid 2004 BL86 passed Earth on Jan. 26, 2015 at 16:19 UTC (11:19am EST).

This "video" (2nd video below) of the asteroid was generated from radar data collected on that date by NASA's Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, California.

Twenty individual images were used. Radar observations allow scientists to better measure an asteroid's size, rotation and location.

Radar observations of 2004 BL86 detected also a tiny moon orbiting the asteroid

The video below shows the strange looking tiny moon in detail. Streetcap1 suggests: "Is asteroid 2004 BL86 being trailed by a UFO"?

Rare UFO ET Contactee Interview 1964

January 28, 2015 - George Van Tassel talks about his personal UFO extraterrestrial encounters along with technologies in the 1960’s that are very similar to HAARP. Van Tassel adds that the ET’s are walking amongst us right now.

Original air-date: June 18, 1964. This recording is from the KVOS Channel 12 Films, Center for Pacific Northwest Studies, Western Washington University, Bellingham WA 98225-9123.

In 1952, over a week before the events of the 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident George-Van-Tassel notified the US air force, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner and the Life (magazine) of the future events of the 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident via registered letters.[6] This event was witnessed by thousands of people in and around the Washington D.C. area. It is one of the most publicized sightings to have ever taken place. In the said letters he informed the US air force, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner and the Life (magazine) that space craft were going to fly over Washington D.C. before the end of the month.

I Rode A Flying Saucer – George Van Tassel – Zooming across the skies and vanishing into outer space, the Flying Saucers present one of the most intriguing puzzles ever to face mankind. In view of the wide-spread interest in the Flying Saucers we believe Mr. Van Tassel s solution to the mystery is most timely and intriguing. Coming as it does from a man with the careful good judgmat of a flight test engineer, it warrants the most serious consideration. We have found Mr, Van Tassel to be a man of exceptional ability and vision. Although some scientists hold that Flying Saucers may be due to natural phenomena and others maintain them to be of Russian or American manufacture, the greater number of scientists and laymen believe them to originate in other worlds than ours; that they are visitors from outer space. And why not? Are our scientists not planning to go to the moon in the near future? At any rate here is an intelligent account of a most unusual experience. Is the fate of. humanity threatened? Do the “saucer beings” have the answer? Will the destructive genius of man find its master in beings from outer space?

60 Billion Habitable Planets in the Milky Way Alone? Astronomers say Yes!

January 28, 2015 - A new study suggests that the number of habitable exoplanets within the Milky Way alone may reach 60 billion.

Previous research performed by a team at Harvard University suggested that there is one Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of each red dwarf star. But researchers at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University have now extended the habitable zone and doubled this estimate.

The research team, lead by Dr. Jun Yang considered one more variable in their calculations: cloud cover. Most exoplanets are tidally locked to their host stars – one hemisphere continually faces the star, while one continuously faces away. These tidally locked planets have a permanent dayside and a permanent nightside.

One would expect the temperature gradient between the two to be very high, as the dayside is continuously receiving stellar flux, while the nightside is always in darkness. Computer simulations that take into account cloud cover show that this is not the case.

The dayside is covered by clouds, which lead to a “stabilizing cloud feedback” on climate.  It has a higher cloud albedo (more light is reflected off the clouds) and a lower greenhouse effect. The presence of clouds actually causes the dayside to be much cooler than expected.

“Tidally locked planets have low enough surface temperatures to be habitable,” explains Jang in his recently published paper. Cloud cover is so effective it even extends the habitable zone to twice the stellar flux. Planets twice as close to their host star are still cool enough to be habitable.

But these new statistics do not apply to just a few stars. Red dwarfs “represent about ¾ of the stars in the galaxy, so it applies to a huge number of planets,” Dr. Abbot, co-author on the paper, told Universe Today. It doubles the number of planets previously thought habitable throughout the entire galaxy.

Not only is the habitable zone around red dwarfs much larger, red dwarfs also live for much longer periods of time. In fact, the Universe is not old enough for any of these long-living stars to have died yet. This gives life the amount of time necessary to form. After all, it took human beings 4.5 billions years to appear on Earth.

Another study we reported on earlier also revised and extrapolated the habitable zone around red dwarf stars.

Future observations will verify this model by measuring the cloud temperatures. On the dayside, we will only be able to see the high cool clouds. A planet resembling this model will therefore look very cold on the dayside. In fact, “a planet that does show the cloud feedback will look hotter on the nightside than the dayside,” explains Abbot.

This effect will be testable with the James Webb Space Telescope.  All in all, the Milky Way is likely to be teeming with life.

The results will be published in Astrophysical Journal Letters (preprint available here).

La Voie lactée éjecte à toute allure deux énormes bulles de gaz

Si grand huit il existe dans notre galaxie, c'est bien celui-là. Constitué de deux lobes symétriques émergeant de part et d'autre du centre de la Voie lactée, ce 8 gigantesque s'étend au total sur 50 000 à 60 000 années-lumière de haut. Pendant longtemps, malgré sa taille immense, il est passé inaperçu des astronomes car il est loin d'être aussi voyant que sur la vue d'artiste ci-dessus. Quelques indices existaient auparavant mais c'est à l'automne 2010, grâce au télescope spatial Fermi de la NASA, lequel travaille dans la partie la plus énergétique du spectre électromagnétique, les rayons gamma, qu'on a réellement pu l'identifier et en dessiner les contours. Et la structure a pris le nom de "bulles de Fermi", en hommage à l'instrument qui l'avait mise au jour.

Depuis un peu plus de quatre ans, cette double bulle aussi titanesque que mystérieuse de gaz surchauffés a été observée par différents instruments mais il fallait le plus célèbre d'entre eux, le télescope spatial Hubble, pour la sonder, tenter d'en déterminer la composition et le mouvement, afin de mieux cerner ses origines. C'est chose faite depuis peu et l'astronome américain Andrew Fox, du Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI, qui gère la recherche effectuée grâce à Hubble), vient de l'annoncer au 225^e congrès de l'American Astronomical Society qui s'est tenu à Seattle il y a quelques jours. Les résultats de cette étude internationale seront prochainement publiés dans les Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Les auteurs de ce travail ont effectué une sorte de ponction virtuelle, un carottage immatériel, de la bulle nord, en profitant, comme on peut le voir ci-dessous, de la position excentrée de notre Système solaire dans la Voie lactée. Ils ont programmé Hubble pour qu'il observe à plusieurs reprises un quasar situé de l'autre côté de la bulle, PDS 456. Pour mémoire, un quasar est une galaxie lointaine dotée d'un trou noir central supermassif, dont l'activité intense s'accompagne d'une fantastique émission de lumière. C'est cette lumière qui, lors de sa traversée de la bulle de Fermi, joue le rôle de sonde, se chargeant au passage d'informations sur le milieu, sa composition, sa vitesse de déplacement.

Le principal résultat dit que cette bulle est en train de gonfler, de s'étendre dans l'espace. En effet, sa bordure opposée s'éloigne de nous tandis que celle qui nous fait face se rapproche. Selon l'étude, les lobes de plasma enflent à la vitesse prodigieuse de 900 kilomètres par seconde, soit plus de 3,2 millions de km/h. Etant donné la taille des bulles, les chercheurs estiment que l'événement qui leur a donné naissance s'est produit entre 2,5 et 4 millions d'années. Cela peut sembler très lointain dans le passé – à l'époque, les australopithèques gambadaient en Afrique – mais, à l'échelle des temps astronomiques et vu l'âge canonique de la Voie lactée (13,2 milliards d'années), il s'agit plutôt d'un événement récent. Mais quel est-il ?

Les observations effectuées par Hubble ne suffisent pas pour le dire. Le télescope spatial a permis de déterminer que les bulles étaient enrichies avec des éléments lourds (silicium, carbone, aluminium) forcément issus des forges stellaires. Mais cela n'autorise pas les chercheurs à trancher pour l'une ou l'autre des deux grandes hypothèses expliquant la création de ces immenses ballons galactiques. La première part de l'idée que le centre des galaxies concentre des pouponnières où naissent des étoiles massives – et donc à courte vie car plus une étoile est massive plus vite elle "flambe". On aurait donc là une éjection de gaz consécutive à la mort explosive de plusieurs très gros astres. La seconde hypothèse met en scène le trou noir central de notre galaxie. Même s'il est calme depuis longtemps, cela n'empêche pas qu'il ait pu, peut-être après avoir englouti quelques étoiles, provoquer l'expulsion de jets de gaz surchauffé, ainsi qu'on l'observe dans d'autres galaxies.

Dans les deux cas, les bulles pourraient fort bien être le résultat d'événements récurrents. Andrew Fox a ainsi émis l'idée que ces expulsions galactiques étaient comme une sorte de "hoquet" : "Il se peut qu'il y ait eu des éjections répétées de matériel et que nous ayons attrapé la dernière. En étudiant la lumière provenant des autres quasars qui se trouvent dans notre programme, nous pourrions être capables de détecter les vestiges de précédentes éjections." Le chercheur américain a en effet précisé que PDS 456 n'était que le premier d'une liste de vingt quasars destinés à sonder davantage les actuelles bulles de Fermi et, peut-être, à détecter les traces fossiles de bulles plus anciennes...

Retired police officer describes low flying California UFO

A retired police officer reported watching a low flying boomerang-shaped UFO that moved over Daubenberger Road in Turlock, CA, about 7 p.m. on January 24, 2015, according to testimony in Case 62855 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his wife were driving home at the time of the incident.

The witness said the object was difficult to see in the fog but was 100 to 200 feet above his truck. Pictured: The intersection of Daubenberg Road and Castle View. (Credit: Google)

“It is foggy tonight, but saw three white lights in a backwards triangle, possibly a boomerang shape,” the witness stated. “Difficult to see in the fog/haze layer, about 100-200 feet above my truck moving slowly at first, then speeding up and quickly disappearing into the fog.”

The witness said the object was heading northbound over houses going towards a cornfield north of Tuolumne Road.

“No sound. My wife was riding in the passenger seat, but was looking down at her phone when I pointed it out. She did not see it before it disappeared into the fog/haze bank.”

The witness said the object made no sound as it moved overhead. Pictured: Heading north along Daubenberg Road toward Castle View in Turlock, CA. (Credit: Google)

The witness provided his professional background.

“I am a retired police officer and veteran USAF aircraft crew chief and veteran Army intelligence. It did not appear to look like any aircraft I am familiar with. It was very strange.”

The witness provided one illustration with the MUFON report, which was filed on January 24, 2015: Illustration 1.

Mysterious radio signal from space caught live for first time

Astronomers in Australia have picked up an “alien” radio signal from space for the first time as it occurred. The signal, or radio “burst”, was discovered on May 15, 2014, though it’s just being reported by the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. “The burst was identified within 10 seconds of its occurrence,” said Emily Petroff, a doctoral student from Melbourne’s Swinburne University of Technology. “The importance of the discovery was recognized very quickly and we were all working very excitedly to contact other astronomers and telescopes around the world to look at the location of the burst.”

Emerging from an unknown source, these bursts are bright flashes of radio waves that emit as much energy in a few milliseconds as the sun does in 24 hours.  “The first fast radio burst was discovered in 2007,” Petroff tells FoxNews.com, “and up until our discovery there were 8 more found in old or archival data.” While researchers use telescopes in Hawaii, India, Germany, Chile, California, and the California Islands to search for bursts, it is the CSIRO Parkes radio telescope in Eastern Australia that is the first to catch one as its happening.

The cause of these mysterious signals remains unknown, with possible theories ranging from black holes to alien communication. However, UFO hunters shouldn’t get too excited. According to Petroff, “We're confident that they're coming from natural sources, that is to say it's probably not aliens, but we haven't solved the case completely. The two most promising theories at the moment are that these bursts could be produced either by a star producing a highly energetic flare, or from a neutron star collapsing to make a black hole. Both of these things would be from sources in far-away galaxies just reaching us from billions of light years away.”

Catching the bursts as they happen is key to finding the source, and though Petroff’s team scrambled upon making their discovery, they didn’t move fast enough to find the afterglow and pin down the cause. “Finding one in real-time has been the goal for a while because we would then be able to act on it and mobilize other telescopes to look that way,” Petroff says. “We did this in the case of this real-time discovery, but we didn't get on the target until about eight hours later with other telescopes, at which time nothing was found.” However, they were able to eliminate a few possible causes, such as gamma-ray bursts from exploding stars and supernovae. Also, the team was able to determine that the source had been near an object with a sizeable magnetic field from the way the wavelengths were polarized.

While the source of the fast radio burst remains a mystery, the team remains hopeful that they can learn from their mistakes and one day solve the case. “All we can do is learn from our experience with this discovery and create a more efficient system for next time,” Petroff says. “We still spend a large amount of time looking for fast radio bursts with the Parkes telescope and the next time we are in the right place at just the right time, we'll be able to act faster than ever before and hopefully solve the mystery once and for all!”
