Bizarre 'floating humanoid UFO' sparks claims of military alien experiments in BRITAIN

THE world of UFO conspiracies can be a weird one, but even by their standards - the term "flying humanoid" is a strange one.

Tell No Lies: New 'Brain Atlas' Paves Way for Mind-Reading Technology

Neuroscientists working at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) have discovered that the brain of both human and non-human primates is capable of anticipating any new situation that might be encountered in its lifetime by creating a special kind of neural network.

The study, published in the PLOS Computational Biology journal, postulates that primates’ ability to come up with a wide variety of behaviors not anticipated by evolution is in fact a product of connections between neurons that form recurrent loops where inputs can rebound and mix in the network. Such reservoir networks can generate a unique combination of inputs that can then be used to develop the correct behavior for any new situation.

The researchers demonstrated their findings by training a network to perform a novel problem-solving task, and then by comparing the neuron activity in that model with that of a pre-frontal cortex of a primate trained to perform the same task. Needless to say, the comparison revealed striking similarities in the activity of neurons in both instances.

This discovery is an important step in understanding the local recurrent connectivity in the brain which essentially allows primates to tackle unfamiliar tasks.

Edgar Cayce Talking About the Arcturians

“Arcturus is the highest civilization in our galaxy,” said Edgar Cayce, a prophet who lived between the years of 1877-1945.

by Arcturi

Further details of Cayce’s life and work are explored in the classic book, There is a River (1942), by Thomas Sugrue, available in hardback, paperback, or audio book versions.

The idea of an alien life form that has been visiting Earth from Arcturus is frequently associated with the writings of Edgar Cayce.

According to Cayce, the Arcturians are a ‘fifth dimensional‘ life-form. They are highly advanced both technically and spiritually.

Since his early writing of this Race of Aliens, Edgar Cayce has been referred to the father of theArcturians.

Today, many people have discovered the different way to communicate with the Arcturian Aliens; however, only one has been deeded the most sure way.

Because Arcturian Aliens exist in different dimensions (not just the fifth dimension) it is now known that to communicate with the higher planes of existence, one must enter into a dream state.

In this dream state many believe that Edgar Cayce entered into direct communication with the Arcturian Aliens.

Today many people have claimed to have communicated with the Arcturians. For example, Norma J. Milanovich is the author of the famous book We the Arcturians: A True Experience, which explains the life style and way of life of these benevolent race of Arcturian Aliens.

The Arcturian legacy and mythology continues and although there are many reasons to believe that these aliens are more than just a myth, we continue to explore the possibilities for compelling evidence. Edgar Cayce gave us the doorway to enter into the universe of a vast existence.

Why alien abductions are down dramatically

SCOTT LAPIERRE/GLOBE STAFF

A bust of an alien described by Betty Hill sat on her coffee table. Hill and her husband, Barney, said they were abducted in New Hampshire in 1961.

Stoner, 68, lives in Florida with her husband. Now retired, she works with fellow “experiencers,” people who feel they have had contact with intelligent nonhuman entities. She also conducts investigations on behalf of the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON. Being an experiencer is very much part of her identity. Her story is coherent, she doesn’t ramble or get lost in the telling.

Do you believe her?

The peril and potential of talking to space

If anyone is out there, and if they are looking, then they already know we are here.

•  Alien detection in the age of social media

If you said yes, then you might be among the 77 percent of Americans, according to a 2012 National Geographic poll, who believe that aliens have visited Earth, or the 30 percent of Americans who believe that the government has covered up evidence of alien visitation, according to a 2015 YouGov poll. Or maybe it’s happened to you: There are few hard numbers, however, a 2014 survey for a British talk show found that one in 25 respondents believed they’d been abducted by aliens.

Belief that alien life exists on other planets is persuasive, sensible; nearly 80 percent of Americans do believe it, according to a 2015 poll. But belief that the aliens are already here feels like something else, largely because it requires a leap of faith longer than agreeing that the universe is a vast, unknowable place. Abduction and contact stories aren’t quite the fodder for daytime talk show and New York Times bestsellers they were a few decades ago. The Weekly World News is no longer peddling stories about Hillary Clinton’s alien baby at the supermarket checkout line. Today, credulous stories of alien visitation rarely crack the mainstream media, however much they thrive on niche TV channels and Internet forums. But we also still want to believe in accounts that scientists, skeptics, and psychologists say there is no credible evidence to support.

The abduction phenomenon began with strange case ofBetty and Barney Hill. On Sept. 19, 1961, the Hills were driving from Montreal to their home in Portsmouth, N.H. Betty spotted a UFO following them. Barney stopped the car on the highway, near Indian Head in the White Mountains, and got out to look at the craft through binoculars. Seeing humanoid figures in Nazi-like uniforms peering through its windows, he ran back to the car, screaming, “Oh my God, we’re going to be captured!” They drove off, but two hours later, they found themselves 35 miles from the spot where they’d first seen the craft (there is now a commemorative marker at the site), with little memory of how they’d gotten there. Soon after, Betty began having nightmares.

In 1964, the Hills underwent hypnotherapy. Under hypnotic regression — hypnosis with the intent to help a subject recall certain events with more clarity — the couple said that they had actually been pulled on board the vessel by aliens and subjected to invasive experiments. The Hills’ story, revealed to the public in 1965 with an article in the Boston Traveler and a year later in the book “The Interrupted Journey,” launched a flurry of public fascination with abductions.

Barney died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1969, but Betty went on to become a kind of sage of paranormal experiences. Their story became the blueprint for alien abduction experiences in the years that followed, especially after the airing of the 1975 made-for-TV film “The UFO Incident,” starring James Earl Jones as Barney Hill. Subsequent experiencers would describe similar missing time or have bizarre dreams and flashbacks of things they couldn’t understand. Many would use hypnotic regression to recall their experiences.

Over the next two decades, the alien abduction narrative wound its way into the American consciousness, fed by science fiction films like “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and breathless news reports of mysterious incidents. In 1966, a Gallup poll asked Americans if they’d ever seen a UFO; 5 percent said they had, but they meant it in the literal sense of an unidentified flying object — only 7 percent of Americans believed that the UFOs were from outer space. By 1986, a Public Opinion Laboratory poll found that 43 percent of respondents agreed with the statement: “It is likely that some of the UFOs that have been reported are really space vehicles from other civilizations.”

Some experiencers said the aliens were here to save us and study us, some said they were here to harvest our organs and enslave us. But by the late 1980s, people whose stories would have been dismissed as delusional a generation earlier were being interviewed by Oprah and “true stories” of alien experience, such as Whitley Strieber’s “Communion” and Budd Hopkins’s “Intruders,” were bestsellers. By the 1990s, those who believed in the literal truth of alien abduction stories gained an important ally in John Mack, a Harvard professor and psychiatrist who compiled his study of the phenomenon into a 1994 book titled “Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens.” He later told the BBC, “I would never say there are aliens taking people away . . . but I would say there is a compelling, powerful phenomenon here that I can’t account for in any other way.”

“These books sold really, really well, they were on book racks in airports and railway stations. You couldn’t really avoid it,” said Dr. Chris French, head of the anomalistic psychology department at Goldsmiths College in London and author of a study on alien abductees. And it wasn’t just books — one of the most popular television shows of the 1990s was devoted almost entirely to alien conspiracy theory: “The X-Files.” “All of these things influence people’s beliefs about what might be true, what might be plausible,” said French.

Other social currents, some of them peculiarly American, informed these stories and our interest in them. Space exploration in the 1950s and ’60s forced the country to admit that a vast unknown lay beyond our atmosphere — at the same time, the Cold War inspired existential fear of invasion. The 1960s and ’70s were attended by horizon-broadening mysticism, publicized experimentation with drugs — people talked about out-of-body experiences. The 1980s saw an explosion of angst around “stranger danger,” with a near-constant reports of child abduction and sexual molestation, and then, recovered and repressed memory. Alien abduction stories absorbed those strains, re-inventing them as anal probes and sinister hybrid breeding programs.

Meanwhile, psychologists like French were examining alien abduction narratives from a more skeptical perspective. And what they found is that the truth wasn’t so much out there as it was in our heads. “People have weird experiences in all societies, given that our nervous systems are the same the world over,” explained French. “It’s the interpretations that might differ.”

A small but stubborn percentage of alien abduction experiences defy clear scientific explanation, but many of the rest can have a number of different physiological or psychological explanations, including epilepsy, which can be preceded by visual disruptions, narcolepsy, or sleep paralysis.

In normal sleep, your body is relaxed nearly to the point of paralysis, presumably to keep you from acting out your dreams. Sleep paralysis is a disruption of lucid dreaming in which the mind partially wakes but finds that the body has not. It can be terrifying: Individuals report sensing entities in the room with them and being unable to move, pressure on their chests, out-of-body-like sensations coupled with intense, heightened emotions. In the past and in other cultural contexts, this experience was attributed to demons or evil spirits or a religious phenomenon. In America, science fiction was increasingly part of mainstream entertainment, and stories about alien contact experiences were covered as news, so aliens seemed like a plausible explanation for these experiences.

Then there’s the slippery nature of memory itself. The richness of a remembered experience is no guarantee of its objective reality, even less so if that memory was “recalled” through hypnotic regression. Though now largely dismissed by mainstream psychology, hypnotic regression remains popular with experiencers. Psychologists say that discerning true memories of actual events from true memories of imagined events is impossible, especially if the individual was predisposed to believe in paranormal or alien experiences.

Additionally, there’s old-fashioned hallucination. A recent international survey of more than 30,000 people, none of who were diagnosed with schizophrenia or other mental health issues, found that 6 percent of them reported experiencing a hallucination unrelated to drugs, alcohol, or sleep. Finally, Michael Shermer, prominent American skeptic and columnist for Scientific American, notes, “Sometimes people just make stuff up.”

By the end of the 1990s, the alien abduction bubble had burst. Ratings fell for the “The X-Files.” In April 2001, reports (later denied) circulated that the British Flying Saucer Bureau, 1,500 members strong at its peak, was shutting down after a long dry spell of no sightings. Five months later, two planes crashed into the Twin Towers and no one cared about little green men anymore. “X-Files” director Chris Carter, at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con, declared that after 9/11, the mood justwasn’t right anymore. In 2006, Ben Macintyre, columnist for The Times, declared that the Internet had undermined belief in UFOs and alien visitation: “The unidentified flying object has been identified, and cannot fly any more. ET has gone home.” Skepticism, it seemed, had killed the UFO.

Except that it hadn’t. Not really.

David Clarke is a UFO researcher who investigated the British government’s UFO files — a former believer, he’s now a skeptic and author of several books, including “How UFOs Conquered the World.” In his view, the Internet didn’t kill alien belief so much as offer up hundreds of echo chambers for it to thrive in. “I think there are just as many people who believe that these things happen, but I think that they’ve retreated from public view and they just talk to themselves,” said Clarke. “In order for you to be a party to that, you need to buy into that reality.”

Skeptics want to believe that fewer people believe, that more people are aware of explanations like sleep paralysis or false memories. “People are capable of these fantastic experiences without them being real outside of the brain,” said Shermer, adding, too, that the camera-phone age is increasing the burden of evidence on experiencers.

Experiencers want to believe that public skepticism is subsiding. Rosemary Ellen Guiley, a prolific American writer about paranormal and mystical experiences, explained, “More people are willing to talk about their experiences because media has opened the door, because there has been a lot of media attention on all kinds of experiences, positive and negative. . . . This is validating, that they can talk about it and not be ridiculed.”

Yet if periodic polls are any indication, Americans have remained consistent on the subject of aliens for the last three decades. At any given moment, roughly 10 percent of Americans believe they’ve seen a UFO. A Gallup poll from 1990 found that 47 percent of respondents believed UFOs were “real,” as in alien. A 2015 Ipsos poll found that 56 percent of Americans believed in UFOs. American disbelief of the government line on UFOs has also remained steady. In 1996, 71 percent thought the government was hiding something; it was 79 percent in 2012, according to a National Geographic Survey. In other words, more people believe that the US government is covering up evidence of alien life than believe that Jesus is the son of God (a 2013 Harris Poll survey found that 68 percent of respondents believed Christianity’s central tenet). That makes Hillary Clinton’s campaign promise to open up files on Area 51 look all the more canny.

It also points to a strange moment for us humans, for how our understanding of our place in the universe has changed over the last 50 years. “We’ve become more materialistic, scientific, secular, and yet we are exactly the same human beings . . . with the same physiological and psychological makeup. Our brains are hard-wired to believe in something other than ourselves,” said Clarke. “People will carry on believing it because I think it’s just a natural part of what we are.”

On that point, some skeptics and some believers agree. There’s a long history of anomalous experiences attributed to angels, fairies, gods, and monsters — nonhuman contact experiences made to fit a cultural context. Those experiences point to something common in human consciousness. “We have had experiences throughout history that demonstrate that we are connected to something greater than ourselves,” Guiley said.

Or maybe not. In 1979, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Merrill published “Mirabell: Books of Number,” a work transcribing the poet’s conversations with spirits using a Ouija board. “If the spirits aren’t external, how astonishing the mediums become!” he said in an interview. The implication is perhaps disappointing — it’s not spirits, it’s not aliens, it’s just us — but also beautiful. And useful. “Investing time and money into why people have these kinds of extraordinary experiences might help us to answer fundamental questions that we don’t have answers for, like why do we have consciousness? I don’t believe in aliens, but I do believe that something unusual is happening to these people and it ought to be studied,” said Clarke.

Solving those riddles takes a lot of serious work, leads to a lot of dead ends, and might not prove satisfying even if we arrive at answers. Which is why, in the end, it may just be easier to attribute to aliens all the many wonderful things that we simply do not understand about the condition of being human.

Majestic 12 Group (MJ-12)

Cover of the famous MJ-12 Extraterrestrial recovery documents


Intelligence Agency Documents                        Alien Bodies Recovered

Aliens At The White House                            Aliens? Everybody Knows!

Majestic 12 (MJ-12) Group

The MJ-12 documents are an eight-page memo dated November 18, 1952, outlining the establishment of a secret group by outgoing President Harry Truman. The memo was prepared for President-elect Dwight Eisenhower.

The document simply describes the fact that the U.S. government recovered a crashed alien spacecraft and bodies in 1947 outside of Roswell, New Mexico. It also states that another crash occurred in Texas near the Mexican border in 1950. At that time Truman established a group known as Majestic-12, sometimes referred to as MJ-12. The purpose of the group was to determine how to handle the implications of the Roswell incident and the existence of extraterrestrial beings. The original members of the group were the very top people in government and science. Since they have all died and the names may not be familiar to you, a list of who they were and what positions they held is included.

They are the most dramatic UFO documents ever leaked to the public! 

Where Did the Documents Come From? 
The MJ-12 documents were received on a roll of undeveloped 35mm film by UFO researcher Jaime Shandera in 1984. Shandera had earlier worked with a group of military intelligence personnel who referred to themselves as the "Insiders," who had expressed a desire to have the true facts about flying saucers released to the public.

The documents are the first to uncover the true facts of the dramatic UFO/alien body crash recovery that occurred at Roswell. The story of the investigation of the MJ-12 documents alone could fill a book, and did (see below).

Alien crash at Roswell, NM in 1947

The Controversy 
The MJ-12 documents have undergone intense scrutiny both by people who claim they are genuine and by those who claim they are fake. Complicating matters is the fact that the actual paper documents have never been available for examination. Instead, there are only photos of the documents which Shandera received on a roll of film.

Clearing the Smoke
After clearing the smoke, here is what remains: 
The preponderance of evidence leans heavily towards those who think the documents are genuine. The research on the "real" side is more thorough.

The side arguing that the documents are fake have made several lightweight claims, most of which were easily refuted by research. In fact, the "fake" side, led by known UFO debunker Philip Klass, had to pay off a $1,000 bet when Klass'claims that certain parts of the document were fake were disproved. The check was written out to Stanton Friedman. Friedman has kept copies of the cancelled check, and made them available for all to see.

 
Here is the key point: Even if the documents had been faked the research into confirming their authenticity led to finding 160 eyewitnesses who saw or handled wreckage or bodies from the crashed flying saucer! Many of these eyewitnesses have signed sworn affidavits. Others have given what amounts to dying declarations, both allowable as evidence in any court of law in the United States. In addition, all their stories fit together like the workings of a fine watch. Their time frames all line up, as do their descriptions. The evidence that the crash at Roswell really did occur is now so overwhelming that the MJ-12 documents are just a confirmation of the event.

The Double Reverse 
In another effort to authenticate the MJ-12 papers, one researcher used a unique but effective approach. Lee Graham, an aerospace worker, realized that anything stamped "Top Secret" (like the MJ-12 papers) fell under government security regulations; specifically, Department of Defense regulation 5200.1-R, which requires government employees or government-contracted workers to report any leak or breach of security with Top Secret documents. The forging or faking of Top Secret documents is also a violation of this statute.

The FBI Checks Them Out 
Graham reported the MJ-12 documents as being either stolen or forged. The FBI spent over one year investigating whether these documents were forged or not. The FBI concluded two things:

First, if the MJ-12 papers were forged, it was an incredible forgery, unlike any they had ever seen in the past. The details of the people and events from fifty years ago were absolutely accurate and coincided with their internal documents.

And second, if the documents were real, they could not get any part of the U.S. government to acknowledge that they had lost them.

So, here for your review are the MJ-12 documents. For a complete history of the MJ-12 documents, get Stanton T. Friedman's Final Report on Operation Majestic 12. To see a complete set of the MJ-12 documents, go to the 'Documents' section of this website

The Original Members of Majestic-12

Dr. Lloyd V. Berkener 
Explorer and scientist, he headed a group that later became the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group. He was also a member of a CIA panel that determined that UFOs did not constitute a threat to U.S. national security. Berkener was the executive director at Carnegie Institute, and was a member of the Joint Research and Development Board in 1946.

Dr. Lloyd Berkener

Dr. Detlev Bronk 
Physiologist, aviation expert, and prominent member of the National Academy of Science, he served as president of both Johns Hopkins and Rockefeller Universities. He was chairman of the Nuclear Research Committee and the medical advisor for the Atomic Energy Commission.

Dr. Detlev Bronk

Dr. Vannevar Bush  
A leader in research and development at MIT and Carnegie Institute, he was at one time the head of each of the following: Office of Scientific Research and Development, the Joint Research and Development Board, and the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics. The Office of Scientific Research and Development was responsible for the development of the atomic bomb. Bush also put together the National Defense Research Council in 1941.

Dr. Vannevar Bush

James Forrestal  
Forrestal was under secretary of the Navy, then secretary of the Navy. He became the first secretary of Defense in 1947, during the time of the Roswell crash. In 1949 he committed a very mysterious suicide. There was talk that he didn't want to hide the truth about flying saucers from the public. His suicide was considered to be just as weird in his day as the Vince Foster suicide was during the Clinton administration.

General Nathan Twining 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force, Twining was also the commander of the Air Materiel Command based at Wright-Patterson Air base, where the debris and bodies from the Roswell crash were taken. Twining was known to have cancelled a scheduled trip on July 8, 1947, just days after the crash at Roswell and the same day Roswell Army Air Base sent out a press release stating that a flying saucer had been recovered. In a now-famous memo, Twining stated that UFOs were very real.

General Nathan Twining

General Hoyt Vandenburg 
Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force and former director of Central Intelligence, he was allegedly in charge of security for the MJ-12 group.
Vandenburg Air Force base in California, where the space shuttle often lands, is named after him.

Mountain Created On Sun, Larger Than Earth Itself Today, June 12, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: June 12, 2016 02:17:15
Location of discovery: Earths Sun
Source URL: http://helioviewer.org/?movieId=2wgX5

Sure you have seen mountains, and volcanos before. You may have even seen the tallest mountain in the world, or been lucky enough to have conquered it with a majestic climb, but have you seen a mountain so high that its bigger than the Earth itself? 

Thats why I am sharing this with you today. I found this mountain on the sun, thats so big it is slightly bigger than the Earth. I saw this and thought you would like to see it too. It may be a giant UFO leaving the sun, below all that molten material, but we will never know for sure. Still, it puts thinks into perspective a bit, doesn't it?

Three Lakes Found On Mars In HD In @NASA Archives, June 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Person who found lakes: WhatsUpInTheSky37
NASA link to the lakes:

 http://www.msss.com/moc_gallery/r03_r09/images/R07/R0701100.html


The screenshots above are all untouched and directly from the NASA MSSS link above. Its a bit mind-blowing, but there are lakes on Mars and we now have government evidence to back that up. This is 100% proof that lakes and rivers exist on Mars, which means that fish and water creatures do as well. Water is a main source for animals to exist, so this may also be a big visiting spot from some smaller life forms (remember the Mars rabbit?). 

It is believed that NASA was not created to help the public to learn whats beyond our world, but instead was created to stifle that with mediocre info leaks, holding the Earth back in its knowledge until NASA deems the world ready. Whatsupinthesky37 is not taking this hands down. He is a warrior of the field of alien research on Mars, and he is already raising the level of awareness of all humanity.

WhatsUpInTheSky37 States: 
We now have over 5 or 6 very good shots from the air that seem to show frozen or warm water lakes sitting on the Martian surface. This has never been addressed by NASA since we are still looking for these "miniscule" traces of life and water. I ask you to use your judgement on this one. What does this look like to you?

Past UFO and Crop Circle Clips: Are We Fascinated With Aliens?

Even in this age, where science and technology have boomed so significantly, the mystery about aliens rests with the anonymous possibilities of knowing them. According to other experts, a lot of us do not even accept that aliens are a detail and not imagination. There are many kinds of stuff about aliens that people think about. However, with the contradicting answers due to the different views, experience, and perceptions of people, everything about them looks to be a complete mystery. When will the mystery uncover itself? As soon as it reveals, will it give you the answers you were looking for?

Much of the fiction genre is covering stories about alien species. Why are aliens so fascinating to writers and readers alike? Well, alien species are blank creatures, we can do with them what we like. This recently discovered video of a strange object caught circling a secluded field might prove that alien theory does exist. The clip was filmed in Wiltshire near Oliver’s Castle. It has a small white dots that appear to be hovering haphazardly above a cornfield. As the objects travel around the field in circular formations, it appears in the corn beneath and suddenly disappear, leaving traces of mystery circles in their wake.

Crop circles have appeared since the 1980s and became the subject of paranormal investigators. While many believe them as a sign that extraterrestrial creatures are communicating the Earth, some scientists discredit this theory. According to a research professor working at the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space, the ‘thing’ cannot be scientifically proven.” Therefore, the mystery runs on. Despite the controversy, the particular video has resurfaced. Whether or not you believe in aliens, the question of their existence still exists. According to a foreign expert, there are over 200 species visiting Earth regularly. Meanwhile, in the North East of England, the sightings have had enthusiasts convinced of their existence.

Machine Learning Algorithms Making Robots 1000x More Capable Than Humans

By: David Russell Schilling 

Machine Learning (Image Courtesy www.bdtech24.com)

At a recent Microsoft Developers Build Conference in San Francisco, one presenter discussed how robots are being designed to do human work through the use of machine learning (ML). Take, for instance, lettuce cutting. A new robot from Blueriver Technology, known as LettucBot, uses ML algorithms to cut lettuce precisely. Blueriver’s motto is “smart machines for digital agriculture.”

Robots Handling Vastly More Variables

It’s not that robots are smarter than humans, it’s that they have more capability of handling significantly more variables than humans. Humans handle 10 to 15 variables at a time while ML algorithms handle thousands. What’s more, ML algorithms can be designed to slice and dice information to identify hierarchical layers of information, create outlines, and synthesize this information to make decisions in a split-second or less.

Cobots Will Give Way to Just Robots

A current trend in robotics known as cobots, where humans and robots work together, is likely to fade into history as ML, AI, and sensor and motion capture camera technology gets better and faster. The ultimate goal is use machine learning to develop cognitive computing systems that will integrate AI and machine learning to perform increasingly humanlike tasks including thinking, planning, and decision-making.

Use of Machine Learning in a Variety of Industries

Already in the investment world, hedge funds including Two Sigma and Renaissance Technologies are using ML and AI to design and manage investment portfolios.

The following video is a speech about ML by Tom Simonite of Google. According to the video description:

Google has deployed practical A.I. throughout its products for the last decade — from Translate, to the Google app, to Photos, to Inbox. The teams continue to make fundamental breakthroughs in machine learning, publishing promising new results at an accelerating pace. Now TensorFlow and Cloud Machine Learning make it even easier for researchers and developers around the world to collaborate. So as we work together to drive machine learning forward, what are the most exciting possibilities? What are the top challenges? And what’s on the horizon? Join Google’s machine learning leads in a discussion with veteran technology editor Tom Simonite as we explore the promise of machine learning.

World's First Passenger Drone to Begin Testing

Buckle up, because an autonomous car-sized drone from the Chinese company Ehang is cleared to begin testing in Nevada.

The electric Ehang 184 passenger drone first debuted earlier this year at CES and has the capacity to stay aloft for more than 20 minutes.

The Ehang 184 is designed to carry a 220-pound load, fly under 650 feet in the air, and cruise for 23 minutes at an average speed of 62 mph, according to the specs. Electric charging takes two to four hours. The four-rotor drone also uses an app for takeoff and landing. I picture it being sort of like a pedicab that gets airborne.

Recently the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development and the Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems announced an agreement with EHang to collaborate on flight testing, training, and development at the state's FAA unmanned aircraft systems test site. The goal is for Ehang's drone to ultimately get regulatory approval. The people involved called the agreement "historic," but "futuristic" sounds more accurate to me.

"I personally look forward to the day when drone taxis are part of Nevada's transportation system," Tom Wilczek, an aerospace and defense industry specialist for the Governor's Office of Economic Development, said in a press release.

A specific timeline for testing is still in the works but Ehang expects to begin later this year, theLas Vegas Review-Journal reported. If everything works out, it will be a first for the state and the country. Not that getting regulatory approval will be easy. Plus, there are other challenges like the drone's limited 23-minute cruise time and its lack of manual flight controls should anything go awry. Hrm.

Having driven across Nevada once during a cross-country road trip, I'd gladly hand over the controls to a super-safe drone for that same stretch, though. The road was so straight and the surroundings so sparse that I lost perspective and felt like the car could have been going 100 mph or 10. It all felt like a strange dream.

Here's hoping the Nevada testing involves automatic avoidance capabilities for the Ehang 184. There's weirder stuff in the skies out there.
