UFO Sightings in Manitoba Over Two Centuries

Despite the well-liked belief, the term UFO signifies an Unidentified Flying Object, not a flying saucer or a spaceship. It applies to any object spotted in the sky that is not readily recognized by the observer. It can even apply to unusual weather conditions phenomena and the military plane not commonly seen by the public. However, when the phrase UFO is being used, the talk turns to aliens and spacecraft. But is the Manitoba strange sighting an exception to this case?

One researcher from Winnipeg has gathered data throughout the years and was able to determine strange flying objects. According to the investigator, he spotted more than 2,000 sightings hovering in the sky over Manitoba in the last two hundred years. Since 1980, Chris Rutkowski has been researching reports across Canada and handles preparing the yearly Canadian extraterrestrial Survey for the 25 years. While many reports are explainable as planes, satellites, and stars, it does not mean that Manitoba is being invaded, but it says that such place share in the global phenomenon. The sightings range from bizarre lights hovering through the skies and abduction reports. According to him, approximately 17.5% of the spotted objects are classified as “unexplained”. To be specific, 2,023 is the total number of reports, and the 767 figure comes from Winnipeg.

Rutkowski said he hoped his Manitoba-specific details will urge researchers to do the same in other vicinities in Canada. Whatever the case, it is apparent that every year more and more sightings are being reported and not just by regular Joes like you and me. They are being reported by pilots, a policeman, and government workers.

Daytime UFO over Jakarta, Indonesia 17-Jul-2015

Here’s one interesting daytime video of an unidentified flying object hovering in the sky above North Jakarta in Indonesia. This was taken on 17th July 2015.

Witness report: Orb-like metallic object observed in clear sky over North Jakarta, Indonesia and changed direction without accelerating/decelerating
Date was Friday 17th of July 2015. Time was approximately 5.42pm local time. Was playing with wife and toddler son in a basketball field near our house in North Jakarta, Indonesia. First noticed the object when pointing out the hunting bats and swallows to my son. It was on my south and moving towards the north west direction. First impression of the object was that it was somewhat spherical and moving at a constant speed and constant altitude. Altitude was from the best of my judgement around the 300-500m high, and moving slowly and constantly throughout the event at about 50m/minute.
As it drew nearer to my location, the shape looked more like a slightly vertically squashed sphere, akin to a red blood cell. It had a metallic sheen because it clearly reflected the orange glow of the setting sun. Upon longer inspection, the shape seemed to constantly slightly distorting and bobbling because the reflected sunlight was not consistent, although the object largely hold its original shape. Judging from the distance and altitude, my best guess is the object is at least 5m in diameter.
After about a minute after noticing the object, I used my iPhone 5s to video the object as best as I can (attached to report), although limited phone memory cut short the duration of the video. After finished recording, the object started to slowly make a very wide arc to the left, without changing speed or altitude, and changed direction southwesterly, which means moving away from my location. I then started to walk/jog and chased the object for about 1-2 minutes over 150 meters, then ceased because I didnt want to leave my wife and son behind in the basketball field. The object then slowly moved away and disappeared over the treeline after a couple more minutes.
What drew me to the object in the first place was that I never saw anything like it before. During the sighting and afterwards, considering the things I saw my impression largely is that the object is probably man-made, maybe a stray weather balloon that drifted with the wind. The few things bugging me is the shape of the object which is like a red blood cell, the definite metallic sheen of the surface, and the changing of the direction of the object, albeit slowly. Video is also not very supportive because of the maximum zoom, large distance to the object and me constantly moving around.
Would really like to have somebody from MUFON to contact via phone or email to exchange ideas on this.

The Atacama desert Alien; What does science say?

In 2003, in the Atacama desert in the vicinity of an abandoned town called La Noria in Chile, Oscar Muñoz found the remains of what is considered to be the most bizarre humanoid on Earth. The tiny body measures only 15 centimeters and has a number of unique features that have since, puzzled the scientific community.

Muñoz sold the strange creäture to a bar owner who purchased it for 50$.

It is believed to be very old, but the rigorous dating showed that had lived and died somewhere within the last hundred years.

The most striking feature of Ata is, other than the size, the skull. It looks pretty human, but the long and disproportionate features has influenced ufologists and other researchers who have proposed, since its discovery, numbers theories suggesting that this creäture is of extraterrestrial origin.

Scientists rushed with theories trying to give rational explanations for the mysterious creäture. The first theory assumed that due to its size, Ata was a premature human fetus. Some anthropologists said it could also be the body of a young man suffering from an extreme case of progeria. Another theory is that Ata had a severe case of dwarfism.

These issues were set aside after an extensive analysis was carried out by leading scientists from Stanford University. After six months of study of the skeletal remains, they concluded that the Atacama Humanoid remains a profound mystery. But researchers wanted to find out more about this mysterious creäture. In order to test whether this creäture was of human origin, genetic analysis were conducted. Taking DNA samples from the ribs, researchers found put that Ata was "human" after all. According to researchers, mitochondrial DNA revealed that his mother was originally from South America. However, they found none of the genetic markers that indicate dwarfism, progeria, or oxycephaly. In other words, they found no answer to the extremely small size and elongated skull. Regardless of sex, race or size, humans have twelve pairs of ribs while Ata had only ten. Researchers have not found any human skeleton with only ten ribs. The skull vault is proportionally higher than that of normal humans. His bones are well-developed and even has fully developed teeth in the jaw, which eliminates the possibility that Ata is a deformed human fetus.

Researchers that conducted testing unanimously agreed that they could not give definitive answers to the questions posed by this small humanoid being. Adding to the mystery, or better said trying to explaining it,the locals say they have seen strange lights in the sky, UFOs and creatures that fit the description of little Ata. Unconfirmed reports speak of similar humanoids which remain alive and are studied in undisclosed locations.

Even though researchers were able to show a human connection to Ata, that does not rule out the possibility that he is an alien. There is also a discrepancy between the genetic material and appearance. The smallest human being ever recorded and confirmed is Chandra Bahadur Dangi having 54.64 centimeters high, which is still three times higher than Ata.

So many scientific details, yet so little information. Was Ata truly an otherworldly visitor? Is the mysterious shape of the skull evidence of extraterrestrial origin? Mainstream scientists are opposed to the idea of extraterrestrial life, especially existing on Earth, but maybe one day, we will truly understand what creatures like Ata really are, their origin, purpose and meaning. Perhaps, after all, we are not alone on Earth and in the Universe.

The hunt for ET will boost Australian astronomy

                   

It's already an exciting time for Australia in the field of astronomy and space science. But we've just received an astronomical boost with the announcement of CSIRO's role with the Breakthrough Prize Foundation's (BPF) US$100 million dollar search for extraterrestrial intelligence, called Breakthrough Listen.

CSIRO has signed a multi-million dollar agreement to use its 64 metre Parkes radio telescope in the quest to search for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.

Breakthrough Listen will be allocated a quarter of the science time available on the Parkes telescope from October 2016 for a period five years, on a full cost recovery basis.

The Parkes observations will be part of a larger set of initiatives to search for life in the universe. The ET hunters will also use time on the Green Bank telescope in West Virginia, operated by the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and a telescope at the University of California's Lick Observatory.

Why Parkes?

CSIRO has the only capability for radio astronomy in the southern hemisphere that can deliver the scientific goals for the new initiative. The Parkes Radio Telescope is essential for the scientific integrity of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

It is ideally situated for a search such as this. The most interesting and richest parts of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, pass directly overhead. If we are going to detect intelligent life elsewhere, it is most likely going to be found in that part of the galaxy towards the centre of the Milky Way.

The Parkes Radio Telescope is also one of the world's premier big dishes and has outstanding ability to detect weak signals that a search like this requires.

It has always been at the forefront of discovery, from receiving video footage of the first Moon walk on 20 July 1969 (which was dramatised in the movie The Dish), to tracking NASA's Curiosity rover during its descent onto Mars in 2012, to now once again searching for intelligent life.

It has also played a leading role in the detection and study of pulsars, small dense stars that can spin hundreds of times a second, the recent discovery of enigmatic (but boringly named) fast radio bursts, or FRBs, and in the search for gravitational waves.

Parkes also played a leading role in previous SETI searches. In 1995 the California-based SETI Institute used the telescope for six months for its Project Phoenix search. The Parkes telescope provided the critical capability to search the southern sky that could not be accessed using telescopes in the northern hemisphere.

The latest initiative is being led by a number of the world's most eminent astrophysicists and astronomers. Professor Matthew Bailes, ARC Laureate Fellow at the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, will be the Australian lead of the SETI observing team using the Parkes telescope.

Knock-on benefits

The program will nicely complement the existing scientific uses of the Parkes telescope. Although it will take up a quarter of Parkes time, it will benefit the research undertaken during the other three-quarters of the time the telescope is in operation.

                   

It will enable even greater scientific capability to be provided to a wide range of astronomy research through both the financial support and through the provision of new data processing and analysis systems and techniques.

Incredible advances in computing technology make it possible for this new search to scan much greater swaths of the radio spectrum than has ever before been explored. Rather than trying to guess where on the radio dial astronomers might receive a signal, they can now search an entire region of the radio spectrum in a single observation.

The dramatic increase in data processing capability has also meant that astronomers can analyse telescope data in new ways, searching for many different types of artificial signals.

CSIRO is thrilled to be part of this global initiative which takes advantage of the significant advances that have been made in computation and signal processing since the search for extraterrestrial life began.

The probability of detecting intelligent life is small but it is much greater today than ever before. To be the first to discover intelligent life would be a phenomenal achievement not only for the scientific community but for all humankind.

Archaeologists Unearth Trove of 2,000 Mysterious Gold Spirals in Denmark (Video)

(Before It's News)

A team of archaeologists working in Boeslunde, Denmark recently stumbled onto an intriguing mystery: nearly 2,000 tightly-wound golden spirals dating back to the Bronze Age. The discovery of gold in Boeslunde isn’t uncommon, as numerous gold objects have been unearthed in the region over the last few years. But the purpose of these coils has stumped archaeologists who refer to the find as the “golden enigma.

The spirals are made from extremely pure gold that was hammered flat to just 0.1 millimeter thick. Some pieces measure up to 1.18 inches long and all together weigh between 200 to 300 grams (7-10 ounces). Their exact purpose is anyone’s guess, but Flemming Kaul, a curator with the National Museum of Denmark, believes the coils are most likely related to prehistoric Bronze Age people who were known to offer gold to higher powers as part of sun rituals.
 

“The sun was one of the most sacred symbols in the Bronze Age and gold had a special magic,” Kaul writes. “Maybe the priest-king wore a gold ring on his wrist, and gold spirals on his cloak and his hat, where they during ritual sun ceremonies shone like the sun.” It’s also suggested the gold was simply buried as part of an elaborate sacrifice.
 

Whatever the use or meaning behind the pieces, it’s an extraordinary and priceless find. The local museum in
Skaelskor already held a temporary viewing before the spirals find a permanent home. You can read more over on the History Blog. (via Neatorama, Gizmodo)

VIDEO: Ruimtestation ISS ‘ingehaald door twee lichtbollen’

Op YouTube is een filmpje verschenen waarin twee UFO’s bij het internationale ruimtestation ISS te zien zouden zijn. De objecten zouden zijn vastgelegd door een camera aan boord van het ISS.

De objecten worden omschreven als twee ‘lichtbollen die onder het ISS vliegen’. De maker van de video, Streetcap1, is ervan overtuigd dat ze sneller gaan dan het ISS en het ruimtestation inhalen.

“Ze verdwijnen uiteindelijk in de rechterhoek van het scherm,” zei hij. “De camera kan ze niet bijhouden.” De twee ‘lichtbollen’ bewegen van links naar rechts door het scherm en lijken het ISS te volgen.

Het lijkt in eerste instantie alsof ze boven de wolken vliegen, maar die verdwijnen langzaam uit beeld, waarna ze tegen de donkere achtergrond te zien zijn. Sommigen beweren dat het filmpje een hoax is, maar Streetcap1 zegt alleen kleuren te hebben aangepast.

De gemiddelde snelheid van het ISS bedraagt 27.744 kilometer per uur. In ongeveer 91,2 minuten draait het ruimtestation om de aarde.

Drie weken geleden ging een filmpje van drie UFO’s bij het ISS viraal. Dat NASA de livefeed na enkele seconden onderbrak, was koren op de molen van complottheoretici. Sommigen claimden dat het een bewuste actie was als onderdeel van een cover-up. De officiële verklaring was dat er op dat moment een signaalstoring was.

Er zijn in de afgelopen jaren meerdere video’s van vermeende UFO’s bij het ISS verschenen. In een aantal gevallen werd het beeld onderbroken. Tussen oktober 2014 en januari dit jaar zijn er tenminste vier van dit soort video’s gepubliceerd. Er zouden dagelijks twee tot zes lichtbollen langs het ISS vliegen.

Zijn ‘fossielen en prehistorische gereedschappen’ op NASA-foto’s ‘bewijs voor leven op Mars’?

Op YouTube zijn een aantal filmpjes geplaatst waarin wordt beweerd dat Marsrover Curiosity bewijs voor prehistorisch leven heeft gevonden op de rode planeet. Er zouden onder meer gefossiliseerde resten en prehistorische gereedschappen zijn gevonden.

Curiosity verkent het Marsoppervlak en stuurt van tijd tot tijd foto’s terug naar de aarde. Sommige daarvan worden vrijgegeven door de NASA. Op het YouTube-kanaal Martian Archaeology verschijnen video’s van onderzoekers die door de talloze beelden van Mars spitten, op zoek naar bewijs voor buitenaards leven.

In een video, gemaakt door Alien Life, wordt geclaimd dat er op Mars skeletresten in een rots en een door een humanoïde gemaakt apparaat zijn gevonden. Volgens sommigen gaat het om ‘botten’, terwijl iemand anders zei dat het rotsen zijn.

In andere video’s zouden botten, een gefossiliseerde vis en prehistorische gereedschappen te zien zijn. De reageerders zijn verdeeld. “Ongetwijfeld een fossiel,” zegt iemand. “Het zou een buitenaards wezen kunnen zijn,” reageert iemand anders. Een derde persoon zegt: “Mensen zien wat ze willen zien. Dit is duidelijk een unieke rotsformatie.”

Volgens voormalig NASA-wetenschapper Tim Reyes is hier sprake van pareidolie. “Nu er steeds gedetailleerdere foto’s terugkomen van Mars, zal het verstand het winnen van pareidolie,” zei hij. “Dat lijkt misschien steriel en klinisch, maar dat betekent niet dat we niet langer mogen genieten van deze fascinerende stenen – dinosaurussen, ratten, schedels, menselijke figuren.” NASA zei in een reactie dat op sommige foto’s vreemd gevormde, geërodeerde stenen zijn te zien.

Enorm moederschip naast de zon ( Video )

Hoe is het mogelijk dat NASA simpelweg nooit reageert op vragen die mensen hebben over de gigantische objecten naast onze zon.

Ook nu is er weer een ruimteschip ontdekt zo groot als ons land en NASA doet net of hun neus bloedt.


Op 15 juli 2015 werd er op één van SOHO afbeeldingen een enorm ruimteschip waargenomen naast onze zon.

Het zag er ongeveer als volgt uit:

Wanneer je dat schip een beetje dichterbij haalt dan zie je dat dit object een structuur heeft en dus door iets of iemand is gemaakt.

De ontdekker van dit ruimteschip, Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1 zegt dan ook, “Dit object heeft een bepaalde structuur en voor NASA om dit als zijnde niets af te doen, is een belediging voor de intelligentie van het publiek.

Als zij  dingen publiceren dan kunnen ze verwachten dat mensen vragen gaan stellen wanneer er vreemde objecten op hun afbeeldingen verschijnen.

Maarja, wat moet NASA zeggen? Ze zijn best slim door helemaal niet te reageren want dan hoeven ze ook niet te liegen.

Dat er zich gigantische ruimteschepen nabij onze zon bevinden, is iets dat ze nooit zullen toegeven.

Triangle – Shaped Fleet Object Spotted Over Rockland

Do aliens genuinely exist? If so, why is it that there is no bodily evidence? Are there any odds that other planets are harboring life? For centuries, mankind has been asking questions about additional terrestrial beings. At first, sightings ended up attributed to deities or angels and far more not too long ago as aliens. It is not until the advent of present day technology and flight that we have started to label celestial apparitions as UFOs.

In Rockland, Main, a witness reported seeing three glowing triangular orbs that happen to be an alien ship that travel together. Tyler Pendleton took the video around nine p.m. on June 14 at his home in Rockland. Since the three lights in the sky draw his attention, he decided to take a video of it. At first, he believes it was an airplane flying, but he didn’t hear any sound that would support his thinking. According to his description, the speed of each orb is perfectly matched, and none of them is seen leaving the formation. In most cases, the balls are seen with formation because it would be safer for them if they travel in groups. But why are they glowing? Their forward motion makes their shrouded vessels noticeable. One thing is apparent; there is no city that is off-limits to aliens because famous cities like New York are also their tourist attractions. They may walk among the crowds, and you won’t even notice how they look.

Unidentified Flying Objects have become a pretty big part of our culture, specifically the Natural Phenomena that have increased lately.  If you have visited forums relating to extraterrestrials, you have probably heard about how these lights are growing more frequent in appearance. Some people may well wonder why we have no physical evidence whatsoever. There are numerous causes of this simple fact, but essentially, they are way a lot more state-of-the-art than us, and they do not desire to expose themselves.

Researcher Claims Seeing UFO Mothership in NASA Images

Flying saucers have always generated much curiosity among the many giving rise to stories about extraterrestrials or even alien abductions. Unidentified Flying Objects are something that is seen in the sky, which leave the observers wondering about their nature and origin. Whether these objects exist or not is still a debatable topic, as there is no full proof evidence of its existence.

Are aliens travelling our planet? This question is controversial for years. However, the prominent online researcher claims seeing a massive strange and mysterious object that appears to be a huge UFO Mothership. On an image taken by NASA, the object is apparently a collision course with the sun. The NASA is from Solar and Heliospheric Observatory satellite that has taken thousands of pictures, which are being captured of solar flares and other extraordinary phenomena on the star’s surface at the center of the solar system. There is also a satellite called the “SOHO” that led astronomers to discover 3,000 unknown comets hurtling through the solar system. For UFO researchers, the space-based NASA observatory is a goldmine of strange sightings, revealing the most bizarre extraterrestrial vessel ever spotted.

The most extraordinary thing about the vessels being claimed in the NASA SOHO is the fact that they appear to be impermeable to the implausible heat generated. In fact, it would burn any man-made objects to ash in a second. When researcher Scott C. Waring posted the video on strange objects and tried asking NASA about the videos on Twitter. Unfortunately, NASA has not responded. On a YouTube page for NASA Sun video, Streetcap1 describe the object as something that has a structure.

Whether a man-made object or a natural phenomenon, people, can’t change the fact that the alleged object is there hovering in the sky. To remove all doubts, NASA’s response is of utmost importance.

German Goverment To Release Alien Craft Files

(Before It's News)

GERMAN GOVERMENT TO RELEASE ALIEN CRAFT FILES  

ALIEN investigators hope the release of German government files on historical UFO sightings will be a milestone in their quest for evidence of extra terrestrial life.  Following a number of years of legal wrangling, the German Supreme Administrative Court in Leipzig ordered the German Bundestag to release confidential documents about UFOs, that it had tried to keep hidden. 

The news has been welcomed by UFO researchers already buoyed by news that the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) will release 18 confidential UFO files to the National Archive next March, although it is still not known when they will be available to the public.  In 2008 then German Minister of the Interior Dr Wolfgang Schäuble insisted the German government had never investigated the topic and had no interest in doing so. 

However, two years later Robert Fleischer of Exopolitic.org discovered that the scientific service of the German parliament had a department investigating the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence and UFOs.  German blogger Frank Reitemeyer took the Bundestag to court, which fought against the release until now.  Information which must be released is an international summary of facts about UFOs and the search for aliens and details of a United Nations (UN) resolution to set up an international UFO research agency.  In a video statement, Lions Ground Entertainment Group, which makes paranormal films posted on YouTube, said: “The news is a breakthrough for all UFO hunters and UFO investigators.” 

But others fear the records could be quite dry.  One YouTube user said: “Call me cynical, but when a government is ordered to hand over docs, I’m skeptical the real original documents will ever be handed over.”

BBC DOCUMENTARY 2015 | America’s Top Secret Weapons Lab DARPA | History Military Documentaries HD

—————————————-­————–
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military.

DARPA was created in 1958 as the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Its purpose was to formulate and execute research and development projects to expand the frontiers of technology and science, with the aim to reach beyond immediate military requirements.[3] The administration was responding to the Soviet launching of Sputnik 1 in 1957, and DARPA’s mission was to ensure U.S. military technology be more sophisticated than that of the nation’s potential enemies.

ARPA was renamed to “DARPA” in March 1972, then renamed “ARPA” in February 1993, and then renamed “DARPA” again in March 1996.

DARPA is independent from other military research and development and reports directly to senior Department of Defense management. DARPA has ca. 240 personnel (13 in management, close to 140 technical) directly managing a $3 billion budget. These figures are “on average” since DARPA focuses on short-term (two to four year) projects run by small, purpose-built teams.

DARPA funded projects have provided significant technologies that influenced many non-military fields, such as computer networking and graphical user interfaces in information technology.

Mission

DARPA characterizes it mission as follows: DARPA’s original mission, established in 1958, was to prevent technological surprise like the launch of Sputnik, which signaled that the Soviets had beaten the U.S. into space. The mission statement has evolved over time. Today, DARPA’s mission is still to prevent technological surprise to the US, but also to create technological surprise for our enemies.

The VIMANA, strange 'flying machines' from ancient India

July 20, 2015 - What are the Vimana? Are they ancient flying machines? We have been told that the Wright brothers were the first to fly in 1903. Was it the Wright brothers who managed to turn dream into reality? Or is it possible that the dream of flight, was something present in ancient India, thousands of years ago? Today, Vimana is the name attributed to a flying machine used by the gods of ancient India. The earliest accounts of this amazing civilization are written in Sanskrit thousands of years ago, where different types of Vimanas are referred to. These strange flying machines were used in incredible battles, battles resembling modern-day jet panes engaging into action, but only hundreds of years before Christ. In the Mahabharata, these incredible battles are described. The Vimanas are mentioned forty-one times with sophisticated combat weapons that shoot beams of light.

The ancient texts refer to King Salva attacks against the city of Dwaraka, where the God Krishna lived. Salva leads a flying Vimana called Saubha that has the power to become invisible. Krishna returns the attack with lightning that locates and destroys his enemies through sound.

The Ramayana also makes reference to incredible flying machines, telling the adventures of Princess Sita, kidnapped by the evil Ravana, where a Vimana called Puspaka is mentioned.

<img src="https://lifes-flower.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qtonywdbo6r/rbg7fqfcrf6r.jpg">

According to Dr. V. Raghavan, former professor of Sanskrit at the University of Madras, there are countless documents in Sanskrit, dating back thousands of years, that proved that extraterrestrial beings were in ancient India thousands of years ago. There extraterrestrial visitors were referred to as Gods. And these gods had numerous weapons and technologies that were interpreted by ancient people as heavenly.

But not only due to ancient text have the aerodynamic qualities of these Vimana but there are also texts that talk about how these flying machines can be built. The Ramayana indicates that 16 types of metals are needed to build a Viana, here on Earth we only have three of the metals mentioned in the sacred texts.

According to researchers, these ancient texts also refer to incredible technologies like anti gravity. Dr. Ruth Reyna of the University of Chandrigarh managed to translate some of the texts written in Sanskrit that make reference to "anti-gravitational" forces. Technology that the Yogis developed to "levitate". According to research, the same anti-gravitational force is what allowed the Vimana to move freely through space.

The Viana are mentioned in several other texts, apart from Hindu mythology, indicating that these flying machines of the gods were a possibility thousands of years ago. Doctor Raghavan says that the technology was brought by beings from other planets thousands of years ago at a time when the Anunnaki lived among people and the Sumeria culture flushed in ancient Mesopotamia.

Many Ufologists believe that the Vimana are what we today refer to as "flying saucers". These mysterious vehicles are piloted by otherworldly beings and we can find proof of them in ancient texts across the globe, like the Sanskrit where the flying machines are mentioned in detail. Researchers believe that there are many other texts that have not been translated yet, and hold important details regarding otherworldly visitations and their technology thousands of years ago.

"Those who came from above" is, in Sumerian language, Anunnaki. Ancient Astronaut theorists believe that the Anunnaki showed the Sumerians, then the Babylonians, how to build and manage these sophisticated machines. Some believe that his knowledge extended all the way to ancient India pointing towards the iconography of some Hindu gods and some mythological accounts as being evidence of a possible connection to the ancient Anunnaki.

And if ancient texts don't convince you about ancient flying machines, then check out the incredible similarities between NASA's new Orion capsule and the ancient Indian Vimanas.

Below, the image of the Orion Capsule.

Space Salad Could Soon Be Eaten By Astronauts Aboard The International Space Station

Robust, green and fresh from the garden of space – romaine lettuce could soon be the dish of the day for the astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

They began growing the crunchy veg earlier this month, and if the conditions are right, they’ll be eating some space-grown lettuce leaves by next month.

This is the second round of space-cultivated crops for the crew as part of the microgravity farm system, cleverly nicknamed “Veggie.” The first batch was sadly sent back to Earth untasted for necessary analysis. NASA found that there were no unwelcome pathogens or contaminants present on the lettuce, making it safe for consumption.

“We were interested to see what the texture of the plants would be like if they don’t have to stand up against gravity,” says NASA science team lead for the Veggie project Gioia Massa to New Scientist. “Maybe they wouldn’t be as crispy or crunchy. But from the crew members’ descriptions it was pretty similar to the plants here on Earth.”

This successful harvest allowed NASA to refine their irrigation systems and to scrutinize the structure of the leaf, given its unusual growth conditions in space.

All astronauts have to be aware of sanitary conditions in space as any contamination with harmful nasties could be potentially threatening for the entire crew. When the new lettuce is ready to pick, the crew will have to sanitize the leaves before tucking in. Massa comments, “The last thing you’d want is to get food poisoning in space.”

Massa envisions that the onboard crew could use this plant as an addition to their meals. However, there will be no paired condiments for this space-grown salad as Massa adds, “We didn’t send up salad dressing.”

The astronauts will sample a few leaves for themselves before sending the rest back to Earth for more tests.

And with more plants planned to be harvested, the Veggie project could be used to grow fresh foods in space for astronauts on future missions.

Breakthrough Listen De Russische miljardair Joeri Milner stelt 100 miljoen dollar (ruim 92 miljoen euro) ter beschikking voor onderzoek naar buitenaards leven. Hij maakte dit vandaag samen met de beroemde Britse natuurkundige Stephen Hawking in Londen bekend. Het team kan tien jaar aan de slag.

Bedoeling van het 'Breakthrough Listen Initiative' is de zoektocht naar buitenaards leven te versnellen. Die zoektocht moet gebeuren met twee van 's werelds krachtigste telescopen.

Het programma gaat gebruikmaken van Amerikaanse en Australische telescopen om de 1 miljoen sterren die het dichtst bij de aarde staan te monitoren. "Dit wordt het meest krachtige, uitgebreide en intensieve wetenschappelijk onderzoek dat ooit ondernomen werd naar signalen van intelligent leven", klinkt het.

Er wordt een apart programma opgericht om een wedstrijd te financieren waarmee 'Breakthrough Messages' opgesteld worden. "Die berichten moeten de mensheid en de planeet Aarde voorstellen en moeten ooit eens naar een andere beschaving gestuurd kunnen worden", aldus de organisatie

"Ik ondersteun dit initiatief en de zoektocht naar buitenaards leven", zei Hawking bij de voorstelling in Londen. "In een oneindig universum moeten er sporen van leven zijn. Ergens in de kosmos, misschien, zit intelligent leven."
