Buzz Aldrin shoots down moon landing conspiracy theorists

Astronaut took to Twitter to answer people who believe moon landing was faked

By Bonnie Malkin

Buzz Aldrin has weighed in on the debate over the first moon landing after conspiracy theorists used the 46th anniversary of the event to suggest it was faked.

Professor Brian Cox was first to take on the landing deniers, writing on Twitter that anyone who believed the Apollo 11 landing didn't happen was a "colossal nob end".

I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you don't think Apollo 11 landed on Moon you are a colossal nob end & should get a new brain

Nikola Tesla's Antigravity UFO:What happened his greatest Invention

Boomerang UFO caught on ISS camera – Amateur astronomer saw same UFO days earlier

On January 6, 2016 the ISS Live Feed Camera recorded a rare light grey boomerang UFO near the International Space Station. Four days earlier, on January 2, 2016, an amateur astronomer, living in Elgin, Illinois witnessed also a light grey boomerang UFO. Probably it is the same UFO.

I was in my backyard with my telescope and binoculars looking for Comet Catalina. The sky was dark and perfectly clear with a mild NW wind.

The object entered the field of view of my binoculars as I was observing the star Arcturus. It took about 2 seconds to cross the 5 degree field of view and was completely silent. It was uniform dull gray in appearance with no visible lights. It appeared to glide very elegantly and smoothly from north to south at roughly 46 degrees elevation. It did not change direction or altitude. XX Obviously I have no way to know its actual size and altitude, but it’s angular size was roughly one degree and its angular speed was akin to a passenger jet at moderate altitude.

Are We The Only Intelligence In The Universe? (NEW VIDEO)

(Before It's News)

As we as a collective begin to realize that we are just another world among countless worlds, will humble and educate our path to the future in the right direction. 

Are we the Universe’s only child — our thoughts its only thoughts? Or do we have alien cosmic siblings — an interstellar family of intelligence’s?

A mature civilization, like a mature individual, must ask itself this question. Is humanity defined by its divisions, its problems, its passing needs and trends? Or do we have a shared face, turned outward to the Universe?

Alien Scholz’s star passed through solar system 70,000 years ago

 

 

An alien star passed through our Solar System just 70,000 years ago, astronomers have discovered.

No other star is known to have approached this close to us.

An international team of researchers says it came five times closer than our current nearest neighbour – Proxima Centauri.

The object, a red dwarf known as Scholz’s star, cruised through the outer reaches of the Solar System – a region known as the Oort Cloud.

Scholz’s star was not alone; it was accompanied on its travels by an object known as a brown dwarf. These are essentially failed stars that lacked the necessary mass to get fusion going in their cores.

Observations of the dim star’s trajectory suggest that 70,000 years ago this cosmic infiltrator passed within 0.8 light years of the Sun. By comparison, Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away.

Ball Of Light Disappearing Into A Wormhole Portal Above Canberra

A strange ball of light lit up the sky over Canberra before quickly vanishing once again stirred UFO sighting speculations on social media.

The video, which was first uploaded to Reddit, showed a round UFO surfacing on the Australian Capital Territory sky amidst a Sunday night storm. The mysterious object has a faint green and red glow in the background.

Some users of social media labeled it as an ET event while experts branded it as a weather phenomenon called ball lightning.

The lightning illuminated with a green-red hue and a white orb in the dark sky and disappeared after a few seconds during the recorded incident.

Some believe it is a UFO exiting a portal from another dimension. Jakka Warren says that it is the so-called Class B UFO because of the presence of typical hyperdrive residue and not the ball of lightning as experts hinted. Many Reddit users maintained that the strange light was a sign of hyperspace opening up.

But experts insist it is ball lightning. Dr. Brad Tucker, an astronomer at Australian National University, debunked alien claims, saying it was ball lightning, an equally mysterious phenomenon.

He stated that some may have mistaken it for an Aurora, where the energy of the sun hits the atmosphere, rubbing it with friction and charging the gas. But it doesn’t fit because there is no activity from the sun and it is cloudy.

However, he thought it was ball lightning, a strange event where lightning appears as a ball explosion and moves around in the sky in some instances. The electrical charge rubbing against atmospheric gases manifest in this activity.

NASA claims: Dozens of advanced ancient civilizations collapsed before us

Is it possible that just like many other advanced civilizations in the past, ours too is heading towards an impending collapse? Is the collapse of society imminent? These are some of the questions a study from NASA aims at answering. The study, partly sponsored by the Goddard Space Flight Center suggests that civilizations as we know it could come to an abrupt end in the coming decades due to a number of factors.

If we look back in history, 3000 – 5000 years, we will find a historical record that clearly shows us how advanced and complex civilizations were just as susceptible to collapse as we are today. This ongoing pattern has led researchers to question the future existence of society and civilization as we know.

If we were to look back further back in time, over 10,000 years, we would encounter evidence of advanced civilizations that possibly predate the Pre-Inca, Olmec, and Ancient Egyptian civilization, not to mention other advanced ancient civilizations in ancient Mesopotamia.

It is difficult to overlook the repeating patterns identified by scholars in most of these civilizations and the NASA funded study is clear evidence of the path ancient civilizations on EArth have taken for thousands of years. This is considered by many people as a sign that clearly states that ancient civilizations have reset a number of times.

These factors have kept on repeating themselves and have been the culprit for ancient civilizations before us.  In the report, applied mathematician Safa Motesharri and his “Human and Nature Dynamical” model claims that “the process of rise-and-collapse is actually a recurrent cycle found throughout history.”

“The fall of the Roman Empire, and the equally (if not more) advanced Han, Mauryan, and Gupta Empires, as well as so many advanced Mesopotamian Empires, are all testimony to the fact that advanced, sophisticated, complex, and creative civilizations can be both fragile and impermanent.”

The study came to the conclusion that there are two key social features that contributed to the collapse of every single advanced civilization from the past: “the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity”; and “the economic stratification of society into Elites [rich] and Masses (or “Commoners”) [poor]” These social phenomena have played “a central role in the character or in the process of the collapse,” in all such cases over “the last five thousand years.”

Even though our civilizations is at a very advanced technological stage, this does not necessarily mean that we are saved from imminent chaos. In the study we find that “Technological change can raise the efficiency of resource use, but it also tends to raise both per capita resource consumption and the scale of resource extraction, so that, absent policy effects, the increases in consumption often compensate for the increased efficiency of resource use.”

One of the best examples of advanced ancient civilizations disappearing can be found in Mesoamerica.

If we take a look at the ancient Maya who were an extremely advanced ancient civilization we find that several factors played a crucial role for this once great empire to crumble eventually. While most researchers would agree that Deforestation, Famine and Drought where some of the key components in the failure of the ancient Maya, we find a similar pattern in other civilizations, not only I the Americas, but around the globe.

Motesharrei and his colleagues conclude that under conditions “closely reflecting the reality of the world today… we find that collapse is difficult to avoid.” In the first of these scenarios, civilization:

“…. appears to be on a sustainable path for quite a long time, but even using an optimal depletion rate and starting with a very small number of Elites, the Elites eventually consume too much, resulting in a famine among Commoners that eventually causes the collapse of society. It is important to note that this Type-L collapse is due to an inequality-induced famine that causes a loss of workers, rather than a collapse of Nature.”

 Sightings in the United States

Alabama Cylinder

Pinson – On January 1, 2016, I was taking the dog out at 7:19 pm, and noticed an inverted triangle in the southern sky, 25 degrees above the horizon towards Birmingham.

The lights were much larger and brighter than any stars. The color of each light was also different from a star, either a yellow/orange or orange. Initially I believed it could possibly be some type of lanterns but they stayed in that same tight triangle formation without wavering (as the lights were connected). The triangle formation was rotating clockwise with the left light moving further away. Three lights moved VERY slowly east, with all corners staying at a consistent distance,

The sighting lasted roughly four minutes disappearing behind some fast moving clouds. My wife, mother, and daughter also witnessed this. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Orb

Eureka — I arrived at the Pacific Outfitters and saw a double rainbow, and took two consecutive photos of a rainbow. I reviewed the photos when I got home and noticed in the first live photo that when it played something black moving very fast flew through the rainbow descending at about a 45-degree angle. The object was not in the next photo that I can tell. The video only plays on my iPhone 6 as a live photo. I do not know how to export it so that others can see the object move. If you look in between the two palm trees to the right and follow the space between them up to the rainbow, you will see the object streak through the rainbow. Thanks to MUFON CMS’

Colorado Disc

 Bucaramanga – We drove on Bucaramanga Road to observe a light that was dawning in the Chicamocha Canyon on October 25, 2015.

I took out my phone and when I saw it began to rise, I did not see it anymore.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Lights

On July 17, 2016, I called my wife and daughter to come see what they did.

The lights flew north until trees and a building blocked my site.

The exact date is not certain.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Orlando — The following event took place at night over Disney World. I noticed some silent red glowing lights that were able to change in number, orientation and even appeared to merge on April 1, 2013. The pattern of lights consisted of 1 to 4 separate but equal sized lights. The lights were able to hover and were obviously under intelligent control. I photographed the light objects with a H5 Sony Camera. Much to my surprise, there was also a clear outline of what appeared to be a craft with a propulsion system emitting white energy or light. There were other strange objects in the digital image that was some sort of electrical loops of dancing energy. These energy loops were in different colors and visible on both sides of the craft and the red light objects. The craft and red lights remained in sharp focus. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Iowa Fuzzy

Sac City — I looked out the kitchen window to see if the moon was visible on January 1, 2016. I could clearly see what was less than a half moon and a bright group of rays and orbs. I grabbed my IPhone and took a couple pictures but they were fuzzy. These pictures were shot with my Canon-EOS-70D with zoom lens. When I first saw it, I saw it moving and it was something totally different! This object had very bright glowing lights, which seem to hover and fall. A collection of orbs illuminated it. At first, I thought it was chevron shaped but then as it moved it looked very different. I ran upstairs to wake my husband but it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maine Lights

Turner — My friend and I was leaving Turner to go back home on December 25, 2015, when we were viewing Christmas Lights took a video of it. Recording the lights, I noticed lights on ground that we could not see with the naked eye. About five and a half minutes into recording my friend said, “Look at that thing on the mountain it’s huge.” The UFO came into view of my camera and it was an amazing sight to see on Christmas night. The ufo blinked out after a few seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Flying Object

Holyoke — On January 1, 2016, driving on the highway between Vermont and Massachusetts, I saw and object hovering and took a quick video and pictures.

I saw an object hovering over my car on the highway and took videos and pictures and then it disappeared.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Minnesota Light

Eagan – It came down through clouds and then back up on December 31, 2015.

I have photographed something by accident, I think.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

 New Mexico Sphere

Rio Rancho – I was at home when I went to the backyard to take a photo of the overnight snowfall that ended at around 8:00 am, on December 27, 2015. After downloading the photo to the computer, I notice the object in the top center of the photo. I thought that it might have been a water drop but there was no moisture on the camera and the temperature was twenty-five degrees Celsius outside.

I showed the photo to a coworker that follows UFO sightings and he asked me to submit it to MUFON. I have no idea what the object is.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina Lights

 Carolina Beach — I was playing computer games on January 6, 2015, during the time of the event. The lights got my attention because they were pulsating, amber-red-orange colored and unlike a typical fishing boat that would be seen on the water. The photo was taken, between the hours of 2-3 AM. The red-amber colored lights blinked off and on all night long until the sun came up.

Note: This picture was taken on a tripod, as well as, time exposed due to nighttime visibility. The lights appeared separated but followed a sequencing of left to right and then right to left repeatedly until the sun came up. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Orb

Ashland — I was at work time was close to 9 pm, I had walked out back for a quick break on January 2, 2016. I noticed a formation of two planes flying in formation very close to one another. Their elevation was high and took out my phone to zoom in and see better.  I happened to notice something dark over a building in the direction of the/planes path. I snapped a few photos and was amazed to see something strange in the photo. I don’t know what the object is. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing as it was danced in the sky erratically. After 15 seconds of recording in a flash of light, it shot off and up into the sky.. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Orb

Eugene – On New Year’s Eve on December 31, 2015, I was looking west out our front window towards the EUG airport. It was over the ‘Wetlands area,’ a preserved site critical for bird migration.

I saw birds and I could see the white tail feathers and head of something. I called my wife to have a look and got a photo eagles coming towards us. Later that same day, my wife spotted two eagles approaching from the west and I managed to capture a pair of eagles as they flew towards us.
I used my (Nikon D3000 camera), and noticed a white sphere in the upper left in one photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Orb

Yeim – A light moved east during fireworks and then disappeared on January 1, 2016, at 12:15 AM.

I grabbed my cellphone camera and took a video.

The light eventually disappeared and then reappeared.
The drunken person in the video was not me.

I finally got something on video wow

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Orb

Sydney — On our way back from coffee, we noticed chemtrails being conducted in a cross over pattern on December 15, 2015. I took a photo of the plane in action as it was undertaking the second trail. We walked back to our house and took two more photos. When I revised the photo, I spotted an orb of silver/metallic appearance with six bright lights clearly visible upon the surface of the orb. The lights are clearly distinct once uploaded to my pc. With the second lot of photos, the orb is in a different location. The orb is not visible and returns in the third photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Orb

Kelowna — I went out on my balcony to have a cigarette while talking on the phone on August 2, 2014; I observed this glowing orb moving in a way an airplane could travel. It flew behind ridges and in front of them. It hovered and flew quickly as it changed color on the opposing side. I tried to use my phone to capture pictures but was unable to focus on the object; I did get a short video of the object before it winked out of existence. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Guam Light

Yigo – I woke up around 5 am and went outside where I saw a bright light, almost like headlight beams on January 1, 2016. I thought nothing of it until about 10 minutes passed and it seemed like it was heading straight up and disappeared. Then descended leveling off and hovering, and It then repeated this maneuvering several time.

Around seven, I went back outside and the object wasn’t as bright, seemed higher in the sky, and eventually faded out. It was yellowish and had a flashing red light.

The following day I went out at 5 am and saw it again with brighter red and green flashing lights.  Around 6:40 AM, I with back outside and the object was still stationary but not as bright. After filming, I noticed it was a hovering disk shaped… Thanks to MUFON CMS

Chili Underwater Rod

 Serena – This is a drone recording with P3P DUI arraying industry on the Serena coast of an unidentified object underwater. The object in the video is possibly a rod type UFO.

At the time, filming there was algae on the coast of the Pacific Ocean.  It moved very fast, was long without wings… She was amazed, but this is not the first time she saw something unfamiliar, previously have had UFO sightings but could not catch them. The object moves out to sea and is lost. Thanks to Slds Agustin

Ireland Lights

Sligo – I was making tea after the movie and saw a huge light in the sky on November 11, 2015, where normally is nothing. It was an unknown object so I took out my digital camera and photographed the light.

It hovered glowing for over one hour and then disappeared. I could see the inner structure and a ring around the object was giving off a lot of light.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nigeria UFO

Ifot Favou Johnnie writes, “It was said that at about days after Easter of 2014 in a town in Akwa-Ibom State, that an unidentified object came from the sky while the rain was falling at about  21:00 hours. The object came as a lighted object from the other part of the village in a ship like form and with high sense of light. It entered a house around the village and all the light bulbs exploded. These object passed through a Banana tree, Coconut tree and a Pear tree. In the morning, it was found out that the trees were all decayed and dead.
The unidentified object traveled down to the earth and the point where it entered the ground..The soil was very soft the next day. I think that this object needs to be examined to determine what it really is”. Thanks Reporter Johnnie Ifot and Steve Iniobong Mfon.

Norway UFO

Hessdalen –This ufo was caught by Streetcap1 onn Live Cam on December 31, 2015. ufos have been seen for the last few decades, so much so that some people put up live cams just to watch them. The world government knows about the alien craft here and an underground base in this location and aliens coming and going.

They do what they want. They probably have had this underground base for thousands of years. In reality, we are new on this planet, but aliens have been here for eons. Website Scott C. Website

Streetcap1 of Youtube states:
“Hessdalen is a very remote area in Norway with a long history of ufo sightings. I noticed slight flashing so started recording. The orb was a huge surprise. Its speed over the terrain appears very rapid and it disappears into thin air toward flashing light in the top right of picture frame.”

Puerto Rico Light

Old San Juan — I was driving home from work on November 27, 2015, and looked up to see this planet-sized very bright white “orb” in the day sky. The sun was east in the sky and as seen by the photos, this object is not characteristic of the moon. I sat in the car taking various photos. This object hovered as I drove home and uploaded the pics to Facebook.

A few months later, I grew curious as to what I saw so I go0gled UFO sightings July 29, 2015. To my surprise, there were sightings in Japan and Honolulu on this same date.

I would like to know what I saw.

Thanks to MUFON

Switzerland Vortex

Geneva – The UFO enters vortex above the CERN Hadron Collider. You can hear and see a huge vortex rapidly forming in this video and then a UFO flying into it.

The UFO white orb moves up toward center of the apparent vortex forming in the sky.

Speculation indicates some UFOs use a vortex to travel from one planet to another.

The vortex theoretically allows a craft to travel between planets in a few hours, even though it might take months in normal space travel from point to point.

CLICK HERE to watch a 1:53 minute video of a huge and fast-forming vortex on the December 7, 2015. The second act shows a UFO entering the center of the vortex and vanishing. The UFO appears to open a portal to another time or dimension through which the UFO could travel. The CERN Hadron Collider is theworld’s largest machine and the most powerful particle collider ever built with a circumference of 17 miles. Website Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK England UFO

I sat in my mother’s hospital room and saw a rainbow on the mountain opposite her room on February 27, 2015. I took four pictures about two seconds apart. When I got home and uploaded the pics on the third one was an object I’m sending you.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virgin Islands

Several pictures were being taken from the stern of the Holland America Yesterday cruise ship on December 30, 2015. The ship had docked and our stateroom was at the stern of the ship in the middle. A galaxy edge was being used to photograph the area around the ship without incident. Several pictures of a similar shot were taken, until we were reviewing the pictures, did we observe a green ball with knobs around it and a green haze. It was only present in one picture.
This photograph was taken from the balcony of the ship. We have never seen anything like it in the hundreds of shots we have taken with the camera. We showed the picture to some of the crew who said they too thought it looked like an orb. Thanks to MUFON CMS

The Anthropocene: Hard evidence for a human-driven Earth

The evidence for a new geological epoch which marks the impact of human activity on Earth is now overwhelming according to a recent paper by an international group of geoscientists. The Anthropocene, which is argued to start in the mid-20th Century, is marked by the spread of materials such as aluminium, concrete, plastic, fly ash and fallout from nuclear testing across the planet, coincident with elevated greenhouse gas emissions and unprecedented trans-global species invasions.

An international group of scientists is studying whether human activity has driven Earth into a new geological epoch -- the Anthropocene. They ask: to what extent are human actions recorded as measurable signals in geological strata, and is the Anthropocene world markedly different from the stable Holocene Epoch of the last 11,700 years that allowed human civilization to develop?

The Holocene Epoch has been a time during which human societies advanced by gradually domesticating the land to increase food production, built urban settlements and became proficient at developing the water, mineral and energy resources of the planet. The proposed Anthropocene Epoch, however, is marked as a time of rapid environmental change brought on by the impact of a surge in human population and increased consumption during the 'Great Acceleration' of the mid-20th century.

Dr Colin Waters of the British Geological Survey said: "Humans have long affected the environment, but recently there has been a rapid global spread of novel materials including aluminium, concrete and plastics, which are leaving their mark in sediments. Fossil-fuel combustion has dispersed fly ash particles worldwide, pretty well coincident with the peak distribution of the 'bomb spike' of radionuclides generated by atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons." "All of this shows that there is an underlying reality to the Anthropocene concept," commented Jan Zalasiewicz of the University of Leicester, a co-author and working group Chair.

The study, co-authored by 24 members of the Anthropocene Working Group, shows that humans have changed the Earth system sufficiently to produce a range of signals in sediments and ice, and these are sufficiently distinctive to justify recognition of an Anthropocene Epoch in the Geological Time Scale. In 2016 the Anthropocene Working Group will gather more evidence on the Anthropocene, which will help inform recommendations on whether this new time unit should be formalized and, if so, how it might be defined and characterized.

A number of UK members of the group have contributed to this study, Colin Waters (lead author and Secretary of the group) and Michael Ellis, both from the British Geological Survey, Jan Zalasiewicz, Mark Williams and Matt Edgeworth from Leicester University and Colin Summerhayes from Cambridge University have provided significant input to this study and maintain the UK's strong involvement in research into the Anthropocene concept.
