Buitenaards wezen opgegraven in India?

jod2.jpg

Het komt niet iedere dag voor, maar in de Indiase deelstaat Jodphur stonden boeren vreemde te kijken toen ze een put aan het slaan waren. 

Ze hadden misschien vanalles verwacht, maar niet dat ze een buitenaards uitziend wezen zouden opgraven. 


Eind juli waren een aantal mensen bezig met het graven van een gat voor het maken van een put in de Indiase deelstaat Jodphur. 

Toen stuitten ze naar eigen zeggen op een vreemd uitziend wezen wat een soort kruising lijkt tussen iets menselijks en buitenaards. 

Te oordelen aan de ogen zou je zeggen dat je hier te maken hebt met een buitenaards wezen. Na publicaties van de foto’s die hieronder staan, ging het verhaal viraal via de sociale media.

Volgens ufoloog Scott Waring bestaat er geen enkele twijfel en hebben we hier te maken met een buitenaards wezen want zoals hij zegt: 

“Dit vreemde wezen heeft zoveel mensachtige trekken dat het wel buitenaards moet zijn. Het heeft hele donkere ogen om het tegen zonlicht te beschermen. Dit is bewijs dat het liever ondergronds woont dan erboven”. 

Het is jammer dat er verder weinig gegevens bekend zijn over deze vreemde vondst. Zoals of het wezen dood was toen het werd aangetroffen of nog leefde? Als het wel dood was toen het werd aangetroffen dan moet het met grote waarschijnlijkheid onlangs zijn overleden omdat het lichaam nog geen tekenen van ontbinding vertoont. 

Of hebben we hier te maken met enkele creatieve Indiase boeren die denken dat een beetje roem altijd beter is dan in de grond wroeten. 

Het is in ieder geval een populair onderwerp op de Indiase sociale media.

Anne Strieber Has Died

Anne Strieber Has Died

AnneStrieberObit2.jpg

After a long and courageous struggle, Anne Strieber died on August 11, 2015. She founded Unknowncountry.com as Whitleysworld in 1998. In 2001, she changed the name and expanded it to include what she described as "the credible edge of science and reality." She was its managing editor until January of 2015. Anne was also a novelist, and published three books, "the Cave" as Anne Matthews, "the Invisible Woman," and her personal favorite, "Little Town Lies," both as Anne Strieber. In nonfiction, she published "the Communion Letters," a compendium of letters from close encounter witnesses. She was also the author of "Anne's Diary" on this website. She also co-authored an account of her illness, "Miraculous Journey," with Whitley.


She supported her husband Whitley throughout his career, and edited every book he published. After reading and cataloging hundreds of thousands of letters written to him in response to his book "Communion," she was the first person to realize that the appearance of what she termed "the visitors" was associated with the simultaneous appearance of ghostly apparitions. She never ceased her research into the strange and ignored phenomenon called the "close encounter" experience, and formed the fundamental approach to it that is the basis of Whitley Strieber's work.

Anne is survived by Whitley, her husband of 45 years, and her son Andrew and his family. Services for Anne will be private. Anne contributed to many charities, and her wish was that others contribute on her behalf to the charities of their choice.

TAKEN : AN ALIEN ABDUCTEE TURNS THE TABLES ON AN ABDUCTION

TAKEN : AN ALIEN ABDUCTEE TURNS THE TABLES ON AN ABDUCTION

He had been taken from the desert, in Texas, when he was seven years old.

ALIEN ABDUCTEE

Photo taken over Scotland on September 20, 2011

His father, shot-gun in hand, and he had been climbing rocky outbreaks amidst cactus and scrub.

They had hunted coyote there before,

and had used a coyote lure, a blow- into device that produced a sound that resembled a rabbit’s cry of pain; with their backs to the setting sun to blind the predator’s approach, they had shot and killed six, that evening.

But soon they had been prey and not predator.

A craft had appeared overhead.

It had appeared from nowhere, instantly.

It was blue like the sky, slowly changing to brown, like the desert floor, then silver as though the color progression change of metal cooling.

Later, when his father had awoken, a shell had been discharged, missing from the chamber, but he had no memory of ever firing the gun.

The seven year old had been swept aloft into an overhead craft and examined by small, dark, large-eyed, hairless beings with large pear-shaped heads extended in the back.

They had a thin torso, long arms with three long fingers, spindly legs, no ears and mere slits for mouth.

The large black eyes strangely had compelling power.

“You will not remember!”

But he had remembered..

He had felt pain unlike any ever imagined and he screamed

The large black-wet eyes had stared at him endlessly, extensively, close up to his head.

“This will not hurt.”, they had said.

But agony had suffused lines and channels throughout his body.

Terror, rage and pain had overcome him.

The creatures had been puzzled by his pain, saying,” You will not remember.”

When he was returned to the desert floor, some forty minutes later, his father had looked switched off, eyes glazed, saliva dribbling from the right corner of his mouth.

It was his sobbing, he had then believed that had awoken his father.

His father had told him that he had imagined and dreamed it.

“The Texas sun can give you heat stroke, make you see things”, he had said, holding the shaking boy close and placing a hand over his son’s forehead.

” Let’s find some shade.”

They had walked to the shade of hemlock and mesquite at the foot of rock outgrowth and had eaten bologna sandwiches with yellow mustard and had washed it down with canteen water.

During this, the child had held his father’s hand and  had not let go; while his father had chewed slowly watching his son in puzzlement, the child had stared upwards in fear.

When he was seventeen,  an abduction’s violence became mutual, one night  :

*One night, a creepy psychic feeling had prevailed, and aware of them, and their approach, he had pretended to be asleep, had gone into deep, regular breathing, and had visualized a dream he would like to be in, but instead, he had waited.

‘The wallpaper on three walls had distorted and bulged and animal-like small snouts and pear-shaped grey heads, on small creatures had waggled in rapid fashion, back and forth.

They had seemed to melt out of his bedroom walls, had stood coldly  to surround him and his bed, one close by his side, two at the footboard, and another by the doorway.

He had jumped up and had grabbed the closest one to him around the neck, had clutched the feather-like being’s back to his own chest, pinioning him.

The creature had frantically struggled to hit him with a small hand-held rod-like device, but the pillows had

prevented the creature from reaching the teenager’s body with it.’

In panic, the lightweight creature had squirmed and had thrashed in the boy’s tightening grip.

The others had in quick moves, like jumping spiders, scattered from the tight circle.

He had tightened his grip and had squeezed hard until

something brittle had snapped in the creature’s neck.’

Suddenly the scene had changed; he had seen his whole family, brother, mother and father surgically eviscerated, but alive and in tears.

On a black floor under hospital lights, had been lungs, intestines, strewn amidst their gore,  and as they had laid there amidst their organs, they had pleaded with their eyes for him to save them.

The image had been so real that it had successfully worked to confuse, startle and distract him.

He had been convinced that real harm had come to his family and he had quickly loosened his grip.

His parents  had writhed in agony, butchered horribly in front of his eyes.

There had been a dank, musty smell that had then permeated the bedroom.

The creature in his arms had, in self protection, in desperate panic to free itself,  flashed the imagery into his mind, but he had killed one of them.

They never came for him physically, after that night;  when he was safely deep within R.EM. sleep, they would tease away, vibrate his astral soul, from his body left behind in bed, in alien astral abductions, and he’d awaken with vivid screen memory “bad dreams”, feeling even more bereft, completely unable in out of body abductions, to strike  back at his tormentors.

He once read that another abductee wrote:

‘A leap in consciousness will require a dissolution and restructuring of your beliefs about the nature of reality’.

To his mind, to live unburdened by an insatiable curiosity to comprehend the mysteries of the motives and tactics of  the pilots of UFOs in our universe, was in itself, quite an amazing thing.

But her eloquent published words brought him peace:

‘The history of mankind has been punctuated by personalities who refused to be bound by the grand illusion of space and time, seekers who penetrated the limitations of space and form.’

‘Knowing that the aliens reside in a different reality explains why this whole UFO phenomenon is so slippery; we exist within a matrix of other realities all merging in one spot: the mind.’

‘Their world coexists with our own intimately intertwined and separated by the thinnest veil- our arrogant assumption that we are the sole proprietors of the only reality.’

And he knew forever, by her words, that abductees are all alone, together..

Project Serpo – The Exchange Program Between Humans and Aliens

Project Serpo – The Exchange Program Between Humans and Aliens

In 2005, an anonymous source sent a series of emails to a UFO Discussion Group led by former U.S. Government Employee Victor Martinez.

These emails detailed the existence of an Exchange Program between the U.S. Government and the Ebens – alien beings from Serpo, a planet from the Zeta Reticuli Star System. The program was thus called Project Serpo.

The source identified himself as a retired employee of the government, claiming he had participated in a special program.

The program’s origins lay with the two UFO crashes in New Mexico in 1947, the famous Roswell incident and another one in Corona. 

He claimed one extraterrestrial survived the crash and was transferred to the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The other six deceased extraterrestrials were placed in a freezing facility in the same laboratory.

Serpo-ufo-alien%2Btechnology.jpg


Establishing communications with the scientists and military personnel, the survivor provided them with the location of its home planet and continued to cooperate until its death in 1952. 

The alien provided information regarding the items found inside the crashed UFOs. One of the items was a communication device that it was allowed to use, contacting its home planet.

A meeting was set for April 1964, when an alien craft landed near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Upon retrieving the bodies of their dead comrades, the extraterrestrials engaged in an information exchange that was carried out in English, thanks to the aliens’ translation device.

One thing led to another and in 1965, the aliens accepted to take a group of humans back to their planet as part of the exchange program. 

Twelve military personnel were carefully selected for a ten year stay on Serpo. The ten men and two women were specialists in various fields and their task was to gather as much information as possible, regarding all aspects of life, society and technology on the alien planet.

zeta_reticuli-eben-serpo.jpg


They were three years late and four people short when they finally returned in 1978. Two men had died on the alien planet. One man and one woman had decided to stay. The journey to Serpo, located 37 light years from Earth, took only nine months aboard the alien craft.

They had learned that Serpo was a planet similar to our own, albeit smaller. It orbited around a binary star system and had an atmosphere similar in composition to the one on Earth. 

However, the two suns meant there were higher levels of radiation and the twelve humans had to resort to protection at all times. Two of them died from complications. The heat was extreme and it took the remaining humans several years to adjust.

2%2Bsuns%2B-%2Bbinary%2Bstar%2Bsystem.jpg


Another problem was the food. The crew had taken enough food to last them for two and a half years but eventually had to resort to eating native Eben food. Anyone who’s traveled abroad knows about the serious gastrointestinal implications posed by eating local food but the human crew eventually adjusted.

Another problem was the length of the day on Serpo, which was 43 Earth hours long. Also, it never got fully dark as their night skies were dimly lit by the smaller sun. The crew had complete freedom to explore the alien planet and they were not hindered in any way.

The geology of the alien world was different; there were few mountains and no oceans. Several types of plant-like life existed but mostly near the polar area, where it was cooler. 

There were also types of animal life and some of the larger ones were used by the Ebens for work and other tasks but never as food sources. They produced their food through industrial processes, of which they had many.

The inhabitants of Serpo lived in small communities led by a large city. They lacked a central government but seemed to be doing fine without it. 

The Ebens had leadership and an army but the Earth team noticed they never used weapons of any type and violence was virtually unheard of. They had no concept of money or commerce. Every Eben was issued items in accordance with their needs.

The planet’s population was about 650,000 individuals. The human crew noted the Ebens were disciplined in all aspects of their lives, working on schedules based on the movements of their suns. There were no other civilizations on Serpo except the Ebens.

serpo-ebens.jpg


Their method of reproduction was similar to our own but it had a much lower success rate. Therefore, their children were highly isolated. 

In fact, the only problem the human crew had was when they intended to photograph Eben children. They were escorted away by the army and asked not to attempt that again.

Upon returning to Earth, the remaining eight members of the expedition were quarantined for a year. During this period, they were debriefed and the complete account amassed around 3,000 pages. 

All members of the expedition have since died from various complications due to radiation exposure. The fate of the two people who chose to remain on Serpo is unknown. The Ebens have not contacted Earth since 1985.

When a 'UFO' flies by, does it bother bears?

If an unidentified flying object suddenly appeared in the sky, it's likely your heart would beat faster. Now, researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on August 13 have found that the same is true for bears.

The UFOs in this case are actually unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which have become increasingly valuable to wildlife researchers, allowing them to observe animals, including endangered species, in their natural settings from long distances and over difficult terrain. It had appeared as though the animals were taking these encounters in stride. For instance, American black bears rarely seem to startle or run away when a UAV comes near. But the new study reveals that despite the bears' calm demeanor when in the presence of UAVs, their heart rates soar, a sign of acute stress.

"Some of the spikes in the heart rate of the bears were far beyond what we expected," says Mark Ditmer of the University of Minnesota, St. Paul. "We had one bear increase her heart rate by approximately 400 percent—from 41 beats per minute to 162 beats per minute. Keep in mind this was the strongest response we saw, but it was shocking nonetheless."

The researchers fitted free-roaming American black bears living in northwestern Minnesota with Iridium satellite GPS collars and cardiac biologgers. The collars sent the researchers an email with each bear's location every 2 minutes while the biologgers captured every heartbeat. Then Ditmer and his colleagues programmed a UAV to fly to the bear's most recent location.

Mark Ditmer downloads the current GPS coordinates of a collared bear to input into a UAV mission. The bear's location is emailed every 2 minutes via Iridium satellite-capable GPS collars, and the researchers programmed the UAV to fly to the …more

In the end, the researchers were able to analyze their data very precisely to find out what hidden effect their UAV flights—which lasted only a brief 5 minutes due to battery life and other logistical constraints—might have had on the bears.

In 18 UAV flights taken in the vicinity of four different bears, individuals only twice showed any major change in their behavior in response to the UAVs. However, the biologgers revealed consistently strong physiological responses. All of the bears in the study responded to UAV flights with elevated heart rates. Fortunately, the bears recovered very quickly.

"Without the use of the biologger, we would have concluded that bears only occasionally respond to UAVs," Ditmer says.

The researchers say it will now be important to consider the additional stress on wildlife from UAV flights when developing regulations and best scientific practices. UAVs are growing in popularity for many uses in addition to research—for example, to discourage poachers and track down wildlife for ecotourists. In many countries, few rules are in place to guide UAV use.

"UAVs hold tremendous potential for scientific research and as tools for conservation," Ditmer says. "However, until we know which species are tolerant of UAVs, at what distance animals react to the presence of UAVs, and whether or not individuals can habituate to their presence, we need to exercise caution when using them around wildlife."

Ditmer and his colleagues are now working with captive bears to find out whether the animals can get used to overhead UAV flights over time and, if so, how long it takes.

Hello Drones, Goodbye UFO Hunting

Hello Drones, Goodbye UFO Hunting

The mystery of unidentified flying objects has suddenly become much more complicated and I'm very unhappy about it. The cause of the additional confusion can be explained in one word: drones.

The remote-controlled aerial devices are showing up everywhere. Their benefits are touted by a large and growing fan base that includes federal and state agencies, local police forces, farmers, and plenty of backyard hobbyists. The sky is becoming a busier place every day.

As a boomer, I grew up hearing about flying saucers and space aliens at an early age. Grade-B science fiction movies from the 1950s were a fixture on late-night TV during my childhood. In my teens I read extensively about Roswell, the Mantell incident, Barney and Betty Hill, and other highly publicized close encounters. I'm familiar with various types of alleged abduction and descriptions of 'missing time.' You can call me an open-minded skeptic. I've made no conclusions but I'm always willing to consider any evidence that seems compelling.

The proliferation of phone-cams during the past few years was, in my opinion, a huge benefit for UFO research. It created myriad opportunities for gathering and analyzing visual images of peculiar aerial sightings. The sheer number of cameras being operated around the globe at any given moment made me believe that sooner or later we'd get something truly conclusive like close-up footage of a landing. Perhaps a witness might sneak through an open door and bring back pictures from inside the craft. Or maybe we'd find out all those supposed 'objects' had an optical/atmospheric explanation. The statistical probability of an authentic breakthrough event that would resolve the puzzle seemed promising.

Suddenly everything has changed. The evidence pool is being polluted by an ever-increasing presence of small, sophisticated flying machines that are totally terrestrial in origin. It won't be long before drones become the default explanation for every shiny speck or glowing orb that traverses the wild blue yonder. They also present an array of new opportunities for UFO-related pranks and hoaxes.

These sad realizations all came crashing down on me recently as I was driving home from work and experienced my first drone flyover. While waiting at a stoplight next to a shopping center, I noticed a bright bluish light in the sky directly ahead. How do I know it wasn't a plane or helicopter? I've seen plenty of them in the past, along with hot air balloons, kites, and even streaking green meteorites that broke into pieces.

This object was different. It moved slowly, hovered, went dim and then brightened, and was definitely at a low altitude. The stoplight changed to green just as the object passed over my car. I pulled into a gas station, jumped out and looked up, but could not regain visual contact. There was no feeling of awe or mystery. I drove home and said to my wife, "I think I just saw a drone." She went online and found out there's a drone store in the shopping center where the sighting happened. I was probably witnessing an aerial test drive.

"Keep watching the skies!" is a famous line from the 1951 version of 'The Thing' and it always gave me a feeling of excitement and foreboding. It's entirely possible the truth really is out there, but good luck finding it now. The era of drones is in full flight. I'm pretty sure it means my hopes of getting a final answer to the Great UFO Riddle have been permanently grounded.

WATCH: Has 'US security service jet cam recorded first ever confirmed UFO sighting'?

WATCH: Has 'US security service jet cam recorded first ever confirmed UFO sighting'?

VIDEO alleged to have been leaked from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which shows a "UFO being tracked by thermal imaging camera" has appeared online.

It is claimed the video was leaked from the US Homeland Department

SCU•USHD

It is claimed the video was leaked from the US Homeland Department

The almost four minute long footage is being taken seriously by UFO and alien researchers and was placed online by a group calling itself the Scientific Coalition for Ufology (SCU).

According to the SCU website, its researchers say the UFO "exhibits characteristics that cannot be explained by any known aircraft or natural phenomenon". 

The video was allegedly captured by a DHS camera on one of its aircraft.

The SCU site claims a DHS whistleblower leaked the video and a number of witnesses have come forward.

All are believed to have requested anonymity.

The group says it spent two years investigating the footage before releasing a 161-page report and going public for the first time this week.

Six named scientists and researchers are said to have conducted the research.

The UFO incident allegedly began at about 9.20 pm on April 25 2013 at the Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico and was "monitored by the crew of a DHC-8 Turboprop aircraft from US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) - part of DHS.

The object appears to move very quickly over land and then into the ocean and seems to tumble or change shape. 

Nick Pope, who formerly investigated UFO sightings for the Ministry of Defence, is intrigued by the footage.

He said: "Assuming the video isn't a clever hoax - which is always a possibility these days - it's a fascinating piece of footage.

"About the only conventional explanation that might fit the bill is that this is some new drone, but the entry and exit from the sea and the apparent splitting in two of the object makes even this explanation seem unlikely.

This is exactly the sort of video that I and intelligence specialists at the MoD got most excited about, as the available data allows for a proper, scientific analysis.

I'll be watching developments on this one with interest."

It also appears to fly over buildings and through trees before seemingly moving in and out of the ocean without slowing down.

By the end of the footage, it either splits into two, or another object appears.

Daina Chaviano, a Cuban-born fantasy and sci-fi author and UFO researcher, claims to have first been contacted by an acquaintance of the source, before putting the initially "skeptical" team together. 

The SCU website said: "The source of this video evidence was vetted and identified.”

They claim to be "absolutely certain" the information came from sources on board the DHS aircraft and the "video is genuine". 

According to the report the DHC-8 took off on a routine flight and soon after take-off the crew noticed “a pinkish to reddish light over the ocean approaching towards the south.”

They were "concerned" at the tower not informing them of incoming traffic, so radioed it in. 

It is claimed the response was the "tower told them they also had a visual on the object, but they were unsure of its identity."

At this stage, it is claimed, as the object neared land, it turned its lights off, but the DHC-8 could track and film it with onboard thermal imaging equipment.

According to the source, a further flight was allegedly delayed due to the object. 

SCU claimed airport records confirmed a FedEx flight scheduled to leave at 9:10 pm was delayed until 9:26 pm.

The team has released details from a Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request response which purportedly shows the DHC-8 took off at 9.16 pm and circled the airport twice before leaving the area after 10 minutes.

Further dates released is said to show the tower tracked on radar an "unknown object" minutes before the DHC-8 took off which was offshore to the north and north waist of the airport from 8.58pm to 9.14pm.

The report states: “The object was between three to five feet in length and its speed varied between approximately 40 mph to 120 mph. Its median speed was roughly 80 mph.”

It said the object "apparently submerged into the ocean for over half a mile and flew back out."

The authors determined it came in from the ocean, north or northwest of the airport, flew the airstrip, then turned back to the north and headed back to the ocean.

The "researchers ruled out a theory the object was a balloon as wind speeds of "eight to 13 mph" at ground level and 12 to 18 mph at 400 to 3,200 feet", meaning the object "was moving too fast to be carried by wind currents," plus it seemed to submerge in water.

Another possibility they looked at was it being a bird, but said a peregrine falcon's top speed in stoop was 69 mph.

One option given most credence was a secret Naval test of a "flimmer" drone which can fly and dive under water, but has an air speed of 68mph.

But they questioned why this would be done in civillian areas near an airport.

The report concluded: “There is no explanation for an object capable of traveling under water at over 90 mph with minimal impact as it enters the water, through the air at 120 mph at low altitude through a residential area without navigational lights, and finally to be capable of splitting into two separate objects.

"No bird, no balloon, no aircraft, and no known drones have that capability.”

UFologist ALEJANDRO ROJAS, editor of Open Minds Magazine, who was not involved in the research has called the case "remarkable."

He said: "Is alien technology being demonstrated in this video? This careful report, which the researchers say took over 1,000 man hours to complete, indicates that whatever took place, it is certainly unusual. 

"The entire report is 161 pages long, and thoroughly explains their work, and how they came to the conclusions they did.

"Even if the report had come to a mundane conclusion, the effort put into the investigation is remarkable.

"However, the fact that they could not determine what the object was, and have determined that it displayed characteristics that cannot be explained, makes the report remarkable."

Octopus genetic code is so strange it could be an ALIEN, according to scientists

Octopus genetic code is so strange it could be an ALIEN, according to scientists

The creatures have a hugely complicated genome sequence, and have more protein-coding genes than even humans

A California two-spot octopus (Octopus bimaculoides) extends a sucker-lined arm out of her den. A new map of the octopus genetic code has revealed a creature so strange that it could be an "alien", say scientists
Octopus: Scientists have said they could be aliens

Scientists claim a new map of the octopus genetic code has revealed a creature so strange that it could be an "alien".

The creatures have a hugely complicated genome sequence, and have more protein-coding genes than even humans.

Octopus DNA is highly rearranged - like cards shuffled and reshuffled in a pack - containing numerous so-called "jumping genes" that can leap around the genome.

US researcher Dr Clifton Ragsdale, from the University of Chicago, said: "The octopus appears to be utterly different from all other animals, even other molluscs, with its eight prehensile arms, its large brain and its clever problem-solving abilities.

"The late British zoologist Martin Wells said the octopus is an alien. In this sense, then, our paper describes the first sequenced genome from an alien."

The scientists who sequenced the genome of the California two-spot octopus report their findings in the journal Nature.

They discovered unique genetic traits that are likely to have played a key role in the evolution of characteristics such as the complex nervous system and adaptive camouflage.

Analysis of 12 different tissues revealed hundreds of octopus-specific genes found in no other animal, many of them highly active in structures such as the brain, skin and suckers.

Cephalopods, which include the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus, are a family of predatory molluscs with an evolutionary history stretching back more than 500 million years to a time long before plants colonised the land.

They inhabit every ocean at almost all depths and possess a range of features that call to mind sci-fi aliens.

These include prehensile sucker-lined tentacles, highly mobile, camera-like eyes sensitive to polarised light, sophisticated camouflage systems that alter skin colour and patterns, jet-propulsion, three hearts, and the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

Although the genome is slightly smaller than a human's it is packed with more genes.

It was as if the octopus genome had been "put into a blender and mixed", said co-author Caroline Albertin, also from the University of Chicago.

Strange Polymorphic Amoeba Anomaly In The Sky Over Miami, FL (Video)

(Before It's News)

Everybody knows that we are constantly immersed in a soup of microorganisms, inside us and all around us, but we can’t see them, because they are very tiny, microscopic. The fact that we cannot see them do not implies that they do not exist

B4INREMOTE-aHR0cDovLzQuYnAuYmxvZ3Nwb3QuY29tLy1yaW8td1Q5dWhYcy9WY3dNMmlVbnNMSS9BQUFBQUFBQU5pby82T1ozTHB0RTNaOC9zNjQwL3NreSUyQmFub21hbGllcyUyNTJDJTJCYmlvbG9naWNhbCUyQmVudGl0aWVzJTI1MkMlMkJsaXZpbmclMkJzcGFjZSUyQmJlaW5ncy5qcGc=

We have an intrinsic limitation in our senses that blocked us from be aware of them until somebody invented the microscope, after that we were able to know that they are thousands of different types of microorganisms, with multiple and very varied shapes, configurations, some of these shapes change like tiny amoebas. 

To be able to see some of them, virus for example, electronic microscopes are needed with very powerful magnification.

Only after the invention of the microscope we were fully aware of their existence and the overwhelming influence that these very tiny living beings have for our continual survival and in all earth biosphere.

The same can be said word by word of anomalies.

The sky produce a very strong scattering of visible light, almost a third of the sun light is scattered by the atmosphere. This “simple” phenomenon has tremendous repercussions on the topic at hand.

Because of this scattering any small semi-opaque object, let’s say one meter in dimension will be invisible to our eyesight in daylight just at a few thousands of feet in altitude, if the object is smaller or more opaque it will be “invisible” even at lower altitude.

So then this “simple” phenomenon causes a very misleading impression to anybody looking up in a clear sky, the many small and not so small objects that populate our sky: bugs, birds, drones, high altitude airplanes and other things, almost all of them are “invisible” to our senses creating in us the false impression that in a blue sky when we do not see anything then nothing is up there.

That impression has been with us all the time, since the very first humans were looking at the sky.

So we have an intrinsic limitation in our senses that had blocked us from being aware of the many different objects that populate our skies.

Now you will start seeing the parallel with the microorganisms case.

But now we have a “new” instrument that allow us to bypass that limitation in our senses, like a microscope for microorganisms, and that “new” instrument allows us to “see” almost all the little objects that populate our skies.

That new instrument is a “dual optical system”. A dual optical system is a combination of two independent optical parts.

At his point in time, my experience and knowledge tells me that without the use of a dual optical type system, anybody trying to observe the small objects in our sky will be very limited, it will be like using a loupe to observe microorganisms.

Now in the same way that by using microscopes a “new world” of life forms was open to our knowledge and study, by the systematic use of a dual optical system a “new world” is being opened to our observations and you will detect “new” objects that are not the standard ones that almost anybody will expect.

These new objects are what some of us call: anomalies or sky anomalies.

For example Unidentified Flying Objects forming digits 3 and 5.

These objects are “messages” in themselves and you can get a reply back from them, not using multi-million dollars Radio-Telescopes dishes, just simple mirror signals, a “low-tech” way to send signals in daylight that have been used for thousands of years, how ironic life can be!!

I always sent prime numbers mirror reflections to the “anomalies”, number 3 first and then number 5, the first primer numbers after 2, well this anomaly formed these two numbers: 3 and 5. Coincidence?

If these objects have an earthly origin since they appear to be in the high level of the atmosphere then they will be all over the planet because the conditions on those high levels are almost the same in any location, now if these objects are not from earth then since the universe extend in all directions, these objects will be coming from any direction at any time.

In the same way that stars are masked by the sky scattering of visible light in daylight any small object in the atmosphere is also masked. This masking effect is lower in the infrared portion of the spectrum and even lower in the short radio wave portion, so scanning the sky in the infrared or in the short radio wave (radar) portion of the spectrum is a lot more effective than scanning the sky in visible light.

Some anomalies respond with bright flashes to direct light signals in daylight or at night.

Some anomalies had responded by morphing into digit shapes correlated to the signals sent to them.

After observing anomalies systematically the idea that they are living beings is a natural one.

The videos below show some of these amazing and surprising anomalies.

Wetenschappers concluderen na DNA-studie: Octopussen ‘zijn aliens’ en hebben 10.000 meer genen dan mensen

Wetenschappers hebben ontdekt dat octopussen zo vreemd zijn dat je ze eigenlijk zou kunnen zien als aliens. Na de eerste volledige genoomsequentie blijkt dat de octopus in niets lijkt op andere dieren.

Het genoom van de octopus bevat liefst 33.000 eiwitcoderende genen, 10.000 meer dan mensen. Clifton Ragsdale van de Universiteit van Chicago zei: “De octopus is met zijn acht tentakels, grote brein en probleemoplossende vermogen zo anders dan andere dieren, zelfs andere weekdieren.”

“De Britse zoöloog Martin Wells (de kleinzoon van H.G. Wells) zei dat de octopus een alien is. Je zou dus kunnen zeggen dat ons paper de eerste genoomsequentie van een alien beschrijft,” aldus Ragsdale.

De octopus gebruikt een aantal genen om van kleur te veranderen en zich zo aan te passen aan de achtergrond. “We hebben honderden nieuwe genen gevonden die andere dieren niet hebben en die mogelijk betrokken zijn bij dit unieke camouflageproces,” zei Daniel Rokshar van de Universiteit van Californië in Berkeley.

Octopussen verschenen meer dan 400 miljoen jaar geleden in de oceanen. Pas 230 miljoen jaar later kwamen de eerste zoogdieren ten tonele.

De octopus blijkt vooral veel zogeheten protocadherine-genen te hebben, die een rol spelen bij de ontwikkeling van zenuwcellen en de wisselwerking tussen neuronen. Het genoom van de octopus bevat 168 van deze protocadherine-genen; dat is 10 keer zoveel als andere ongewervelde dieren en twee keer zoveel als zoogdieren. Het onderzoek is verschenen in Nature.

Is Banbury becoming an alien hotspot? Police deal with multiple extraterrestrial reports

Is Banbury becoming an alien hotspot? Police deal with multiple extraterrestrial reports

Thames Valley Police has responded to 15 reports of aliens and UFOs in the last four years

Thames Valley Police has responded to 15 reports of aliens and UFOs in the last four years

It may sound out of this world but Thames Valley Police has dealt with 15 reports of aliens in just four years.

Residents have spotted little green men twice in Chipping Norton - and were so concerned they called the police force for help.

All of the cases were reported between 2011 and 2014 across the force area.

They also include three sightings in neighbouring Milton Keynes, two in Oxford, five in Reading, two in Slough and one in High Wycombe.

Back in 2007, local UFO expert Michael Soper claimed Banbury and the surrounding area was becoming an alien hotspot.

“Banbury is quite active,” he said.

“There are more paranormal events here in Oxfordshire than in any other part of the country and they can be dramatic.

“We have had a landing near Wallingford.

“I think we are being visited by dimensional craft.

“I don’t know whether they come from another race of humans from another dimension.”

But the number of UFO sightings reported to police has decreased, according to a Freedom of Information Act request by the Banbury Guardian.

In 2011, Thames Valley Police received seven calls concerning aliens.

Just three years later (in 2014), the number had dropped by more than a third with only two calls reporting aliens.

But Michael, of Contact International UFO Research based in Wheatley, is expecting a boom in reports soon.

He added: “I do expect reports of sightings of UFOs to pick up because we’re coming up to a period of change in the solar cycle.

“People do still informally report sightings to us.

“Our view is that these things are happening all the time, what varies is people ability to see them and inclination to report them.

“Generally speaking Oxfordshire is very remarkable for these lights that appear in the skies.”

Many sightings of UFOs have been logged across the county in recent years.

Back in November 2013, a resident in Banbury described seeing a metallic rectangular object with a large “shark” shaped fin and bright orange light around it flying in the skies over Banbury.

They added: “It was flying from my left to right on a straight path, however once it was past the boundary of the town (on the right) it increased in speed dramatically, pitched up and to the left then down to the right in an elongated ‘S’ shape and then I lost it behind the house adjacent to the garden.

“This is not something I can logically explain away, particularly the increase in speed and the way it turned in the sky.”

Another sighting was reported in May 2012, when a man spotted a “ball of light” over the M40 which split in two and flew off towards Banbury.

In 2007, a man spotted three “bright white lights in the form of a triangle” over Chipping Norton that “shot across the sky in perfect formation” towards Oxford.

Want To Know What A Real ‘UFO’ Looks Like? These 7 Astonishing Pictures Will Give You An Idea

Want To Know What A Real ‘UFO’ Looks Like? These 7 Astonishing Pictures Will Give You An Idea

UFP

For somebody who has never seen a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object), it can be hard to imagine what they look like. Reports of incidents from the military are quite detailed, and if one thing is absolutely clear, it’s that the UFO phenomenon is global and has included many military encounters. Personally, I’ve had multiple UFO experiences, some of which have been quite remarkable and breathtaking. I’ve even had a few alongside a couple of members here at Collective Evolution. These are objects that are performing maneuvers that should be impossible, and look like nothing that we have on this planet. I mention this because we are not alone in our experiences, there are many others who have seen the same thing.

“As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications… When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications.” (source)

The above quote comes from a declassified United States defence agency report detailing a UFO encounter that occurred over Iran in 1976. It’s one of many examples outlined in thousands of pages of UFO documents that have been released by dozens of governments from all over the world. This type of occurrence is a common one, where UFOs are tracked on radar, as well as visually confirmed by military pilots, who are then sent out to take a closer look.

Another example of a common encounter occurred on December 16th, 1978, by the Chilean Air Force:

“Two pilots on a training mission, each flying an F5 fighter aircraft, tracked the object on their airborne radar. It gave a return equal to ten or more aircraft carriers – except this object was in the air, not floating on the water. Each pilot assumed his radar equipment was faulty, until he learned that the other pilot was also getting the same return. Not only this, but ground radar from a nearby airport also picked up the object and confirmed its huge size. The pilots also saw the object with their own eyes. One pilot later said that at a distance of twenty miles, it looked ‘like a plantain banana swathed in smoke.’ The pilots were frightened, having no missiles or weapons. As they approached the massive object, which had been motionless all this while, it took off at an unimaginable speed. All at once, it vanished from the three radar screens.” (Huneeus, J, Antonio, “A Chilean Overview,” MUFON UFO Journal, 6/86; Huneeus, J. Antonio, “A Historical Survey of UFO Cases in Chilie,” MUFON 1987 International Symposium Proceedings (MUFON, 1987.)

The list of encounters from these documents where pilots describe such objects literally goes on and on, and the pictures below are a good example of what various military pilots have described throughout the decades. This is something that has happened scores of times and continues to this day. 

The pictures below come from investigator/researcher Alex Mistretta, who can be contacted at: mistretta1020@gmail.com. Apparently, they are from a United States Navy submarine, taken in March of 1971. The Sumarine was the Navy’s USS Trepang (SSN 674). The submarine came upon the object by “accident,” as they were in the region on a routine joint military and scientific expedition. Officer John Klika was the one who initially spotted the object with the periscope.

I am not saying that these pictures are real, in fact, they might not be. The point here is to give readers a taste of what military pilots commonly describe, and what is commonly picked up on military radar. That’s why I wanted to show these pictures in the first place, to spark your imagination with what could be ‘fake’ pictures, of a very real phenomenon, and for those who have not had the experience of seeing something like this.

“Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former head of CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)

“This thing has gotten so highly-classified… it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.” – Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (source)

“In one of the cases during the cold war, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying South from Russia across Europe. The supreme allied commander was very concerned and was about ready to press the panic button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole. They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for three years and they decided that with absolute certainty that four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands of years. There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb. They are very concerned about that and if we will use it again, because the whole cosmos is in unity and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos. They’re very much afraid that we might start using atomic weapons again and this would be very bad for us, and them also.” –Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister (source)

Aliens Might Weigh As Much As Polar Bears And Be Taller Than The Tallest Man Who Ever Lived

Aliens Might Weigh As Much As Polar Bears And Be Taller Than The Tallest Man Who Ever Lived

Cliff Baise/500px

No one really knows whether we're alone or if the universe is brimming with brainy extraterrestrials. But that hasn't stopped scientists from trying to figure out what form intelligent aliens might take.

And as University of Barcelona cosmologist Dr. Fergus Simpson argues in a new paper, most intelligent alien species would likely exceed 300 kilograms (661 pounds)--with the median body mass "similar to that of a polar bear."

If such a being had human proportions, Simpson told The Huffington Post in an email, it would be taller than Robert Wadlow, who at 8 feet, 11 inches is believed to have been the tallest human who ever lived.


robert wadlow
Robert Wadlow (1918-1940), the tallest man who ever lived.

Simpson's paper, which is posted on the online research repository arXiv.org, is chockablock with formidable-looking mathematical equations. But as he explained in the email, his starting point was to consider the relationship between the number of individuals in a population on Earth and the body mass of those individuals:

  • "Ants easily outnumber us because they are small. Our larger bodies require a much greater energy supply from the local resources, so it would be impossible for us to match the ant population. Now apply this concept to intelligent life across the universe. On average, we should expect physically larger species to have fewer individuals than the smaller species. And, just like with countries, we should expect to be in one of the bigger populations. In other words, we are much more likely to find ourselves to be the ants among intelligent species."

Or, as Newsweek explained Simpson's argument, there are probably more planets with relatively small animals than planets with relatively large animals. It makes sense to assume that Earth is in the former category, so we can assume that humans are probably among the smaller intelligent beings.

What do other scientists make of Simpson's paper?

“I think the average size calculation is reasonable,” Dr. Duncan Forgan, an astrobiologist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland who wasn't involved in the research, told Newsweek.

But to Dr. Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif., the argument is suspect.

"There is an assumption here that intelligence can come in all (reasonable) sizes, and does so with more or less equal likelihood," Shostak told The Huffington Post in an email. "That may be true, but on Earth bigger has not always been better, at least in the brains department. Dolphins have higher IQs than whales, and crows are smarter than eagles. Octopuses are cleverer than giant squids, and obviously we’re smarter than polar bears."

Ultimately, Shostak said, we can’t know whether "little green men are actually big green men" before we actually make contact.

Until then!

Scientists discovered the last lake on Mars, which might be preserving ancient life

Scientists discovered the last lake on Mars, which might be preserving ancient life

.

(ESO/M. Kornmesser) 
Illustration of what Mars would look like with water. 

A trio of scientists says they've identified the best place to look for evidence of ancient life on Mars — one of the youngest lake-bearing basins ever discovered. 

Though Mars has no liquid water today, the Red Planet was submerged under vast oceans billions of years ago. And where there's water, there's the potential for life.

Scientists suspected that after the oceans evaporated, that was it for water — and life — on Mars. But a recent paper published in the journal Geology says that's not the case. 

Mars had a second wave of surface water about 3.6 billion years ago — 200 million years after scientists thought Mars had seen the last of its liquid water. This water, the researchers report, was located in a lake inside a basin near the Martian equator, about 100 miles from where NASA's Opportunity rover rests today.

It is one of the youngest lakes and therefore possibly one of the last liquid water sources to ever exist on Mars, the researchers report. 

The discovery is exciting for the prospect of ancient Martian life, explains lead author Brian Hynek who is a research associate at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at Colorado University-Boulder:

"Having a later stage of water on Mars is probably a good thing for the potential for life on that planet because it gave life more time to be conceived," Hynek told Business Insider. "There was life on Earth when this lake was active so by that analogy, we can say there's potential that Mars had microbial life and this was a great place where it could have resided."

Getting around a tricky problem

.

Crater in Meridiani Planum, where the researchers found evidence for one of the youngest lakes ever discovered. 

The researchers are investigating the age and origin of hundreds of salt deposits across Mars to map how much water existed on the surface.  

"Just like on Earth, when salts are left somewhere, that probably means that water was there," Hynek said. "So, these are indicators that water was there in some form."

Estimating the age of these salt deposits is tricky. The way scientists determine the age of anything on Mars is by counting the number and measuring the size of impact craters in that region. Then they compare this information to similar regions on the Moon, whose age we have a better handle on.

But wind has eroded the regions where these salt deposits are located, which makes it hard to estimate their age. This latest paper is the first time anyone has ever calculated with any confidence the age of one of these salt deposits, Hynek said. 

Using images taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been orbiting Mars since 2006, the team studied the terrain and geography around the basin. They found evidence to suggest that at one point, the lake grew large enough to spill over the rim of the basin, carving channels in its wake. 

The researchers traced these channels to neighboring volcanic plains hundreds of miles away that are about 3.6 billion years old. Because the water channels over-cut the volcanic plains, they must be younger. That means the lake must also be younger than 3.6 billion years.

Life locked in salt

(Promking at en.wikipedia) 
Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah are similar to the salt deposits on Mars. 

Right now, there are no plans to visit this basin in search for the potential for life. But Hynek hopes that this latest paper will make the basin a more popular touch down point for the NASA Mars rover scheduled to launch in 2020.

Hynek has a pretty good idea of where he'd look first:

"I think you'd want to target the salt deposits," he told Business Insider. "As the water evaporates away a lot of organic matter and a lot of microbial evidence gets encased in salts and is preserved for long time periods."

Though there was liquid water in the basin, there are still other factors that would ultimately determine whether life could have existed there, Hynek cautions. The lake's salinity, acidity, oxygen levels, and available nutrients for food are all important. 

The lake had a relatively low salt content, which would have made it ideal for life, Hynek said. However, the other three factors are hard to measure without sending a rover there to scoop up the soil and analyze what's in it.

So far, this single lake is the only evidence for water on Mars around 3.6 billion   years ago. Hynek plans to continue studying these salt deposits to see if there's more evidence of water on a younger Mear

Octopuses ‘are aliens’, scientists decide after DNA study

Octopuses ‘are aliens’, scientists decide after DNA study

Octopuses ‘are aliens’, scientists decide after DNA study Picture Monterey Bay aquarium

Not to freak you out or anything, but scientists have just revealed that octopuses are so weird they’re basically aliens.

The first full genome sequence shows of that octopuses (NOT octopi) are totally different from all other animals – and their genome shows a striking level of complexity with 33,000 protein-coding genes identified, more than in a human.

There we were thinking it was quite freaky enough when they learned how to open jam jars.

US researcher Dr Clifton Ragsdale, from the University of Chicago, said: ;The octopus appears to be utterly different from all other animals, even other molluscs, with its eight prehensile arms, its large brain and its clever problem-solving abilities.

‘The late British zoologist Martin Wells said the octopus is an alien. In this sense, then, our paper describes the first sequenced genome from an alien.’

Octopuses: What even ARE they?

They inhabit every ocean at almost all depths and possess a range of features that call to mind sci-fi aliens.

These include prehensile sucker-lined tentacles, highly mobile, camera-like eyes sensitive to polarised light, sophisticated camouflage systems that alter skin colour and patterns, jet-propulsion, three hearts, and the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

The scientists estimate that the two-spot octopus genome contains 2.7 billion base pairs – the chemical units of DNA – with long stretches of repeated sequences.

Many Witnesses To Alien Craft Over Necochea

Many Witnesses To Alien Craft Over Necochea

 MANY WITNESSES TO ALIEN CRAFT  OVER NECOCHEA  
DECEMBER 26, 2014   ………..   NECOCHEA ARGENTINA
  


On the evening of December 26 several witnesses — Marcelo Pintacuda among them, as he performed various duties at the Port of Necochea-Quequ he noticed a large strange circular object, yellow in color, that flew over the skies of Necochea.  The object vanished toward the west of the city after having been visible for several minutes.  Mr. Pintacuda was engaged in supervising the unloading of fuel oil from the Antares I vessel to the Necochea Power Station, property of Centrales de la Costa Atlantica SA, which employs this fuel for operating purposes.

The Necochea Power Station is located in the Port of Necoceha next to the Quequn River and facing the sea. Pintacuda is an agent for this branch and was engaged in fire watch activities at the time during the unloading of 8000 tons of fuel oil to the station.  The incident is currently under investigation and the images are being downloaded presently from his Motorola C650 cellphone. The month of December has been rich in UFO activity over Necochea. We should keep in mind the cases involving employees of the DYCASA company, who are working on the expansion of the breakwater in the port itself, which also faces the Necochea Power Station. 

A considerable number of people saw this large object that vanished over the sea and toward the south. The cases involving a Necochean family that saw a similar round object as they returned home along the coastal route, and another family that sew a similar object over the beach should not be discarded.  As we said, all cases are currently under investigation.

Ashland Nebraska UFO Abduction, 1967

Ashland Nebraska UFO Abduction, 1967

(Before It's News)

http://spookscentral.com/

 In Ashland, Nebraska, on December 3, 1967, Herbert Schirmer, a 22 years young patrolman, was making his usual rounds. He had checked the Ashland Sales Barn, and several gas stations along Highway 6 when he noticed what he thought were red lights on top of a large truck. He had just passed through the intersection of Highways 6 and 63 at about 2:00 AM.

He drove the short distance down 63 and stopped with his headlights shining on the object. According to Schirmer, the object was definitely not a truck. The red lights that he had seen were blinking through the oval portholes of a metallic, oval-shaped object that was hovering at a height of about eight feet above the road’s surface.

The object appeared to have a polished, aluminum surface and had a sort of walk around it. It had a structure underneath, like a landing gear.

As he watched, the object rose into the air with flames coming from underneath. It passed almost directly over Schirmer’s patrol car, then quickly shot out of sight.

Schirmer returned to the police station, noting that it was now 3:00 AM., which surprised him because he felt that only ten minutes had passed. At the station, he made this entry into his logbook:

“Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!”

Afterward, Schirmer developed a red welt on his neck, a headache, and he began to feel ill. Word of Schirmer’s sighting was related to the Condon Commission at the University of Colorado, which investigated UFO reports.

Schirmer was asked to come to Boulder, Colorado. At Boulder, on February 13, 1968, he was hypnotized

Returning to Ashland, Schirmer was appointed Ashland’s Police Chief when Chief Wlaskin resigned. However, he resigned after two months, unable to concentrate on the job due to his UFO experience.

According to Schirmer, he was ridiculed by some of the townspeople, his car was dynamited, and his wife left him.

Further regression hypnosis sessions were conducted on June 8, 1968, by hypnotist Loring G. Williams and the results of those sessions were reported in two books: “Gods, Demons, and Space Chariots” and “Gods and Devils from Outer Space” by Eric Norman.

One odd fact that was brought out was that the aliens wore uniforms with an emblem of a winged serpent on the left breast, similar to the winged serpents that have appeared in mythology around the world.
