THE ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ QUANTUM SPACE ENGINE THAT BREAKS LAWS OF PHYSICS IS ABOUT TO BE TESTED IN SPACE

THE ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ QUANTUM SPACE ENGINE THAT BREAKS LAWS OF PHYSICS IS ABOUT TO BE TESTED IN SPACE

ARJUN WALIA

A couple of years ago, researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre discovered a thruster system which actually generates thrust, despite requiring absolutely no propellant. The implications of this discovery are far-reaching; applications for space flight and other technologies which require propulsion could one day become far cheaper, allowing space exploration to expand exponentially. The existence of this technology also further validates the fact that energy can be derived from tapping into the quantum vacuum, also known as “zero-point.”

Bottom line is that space is not empty, and the energy which lies within it can be used. This was experimentally confirmed when the Casimir Effectillustrated zero point or vacuum state energy, which predicts that two metal plates close together attract each other due to an imbalance in the quantum fluctuations(source)(source).

The propellant-less thruster is called the Cannae Drive, invented by Guido Fetta, and was tested by NASA over an eight day testing campaign that took place in August of 2013. It’s also known as the EM drive. It showed that a small amount of thrust was achieved inside a container, again, without the use of any fuel. The results were then presented at the 50th Joint Propulsion Conference in Cleveland, Ohio in July the next year.

You can access the paper (titled “Numerical and Experimental Results for a Novel Propulsion Technology Requiring no On-Board Propellant”) that was presented at the conference here and inventor Guido Fetta’s paper here.

Now, it’s about to be launched into spacee, and, according to many, like ScienceAlert.com, the EM “is as controversial as it gets, because while certain experiments have suggested that such an engine could work, it also goes against one of the most fundamental laws of physics we have.

It’s a law that Issac Newton derived, called the law of conservation of momentum, which states that an equal and opposite reaction must stem from an action. In order for something to gain momentum it must expel some kind of propellent in the opposite direction, but not the EM drive, this invention taps into the ‘zero-point’ field of energy/electromagnetic waves, creating thrust by microwave photons bouncing around inside a cone shaped metal cavity. The cone shaped mental cavity is what accelerates it into the opposite direction.

This is exciting, because it basically proves that we have a limitless resource of energy to tap into and utilize for space travel. This is currently the biggest barrier for modern day space travel and exploration.

It’s Time For The Laws Of Physics To Be Changed

We knew the Earth was flat, we knew that we were the centre of the universe, we knew that a man made heavier than air peace of machinery could not take flight. Through out human history, intellectual authorities have pronounced their supremacy by ridiculing or surpressing elements of reality that simply didn’t fit within the framework of accepted knowledge – Terje Toftenes (taken from the film, The Day Before Disclosure)

Science needs to be careful and stray for from getting caught up in the grip of scientific dogma. History has constantly shown us, especially within the realms of science, that what we accept as real always changes at another point in time. Our understanding and knowledge regarding the nature of our reality is constantly changing.

“There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.” This statement (worldview statement) was made by Lord Kelvin in 1900, which was shattered five years later when Einstein published his paper on special relativity. This one great, out of many.

Today, engineers are inventing power generators that utilize these concepts, like Paramahamsa Tewari .

These laws need to be refined to account for the fact that space is not empty,

What we currently accept as fact is going to have to change, and developments like the EM drive, or electrical generators that used these concepts, are going to have to be acknowledged soon. Throughout history, new developments in fields such as energy have always taken their time to find it into the market place. In today’s world, there’s always a lot of Red Tape you’re going to have to go through, unfortunately.

Below is a short clip of former NASA astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor Dr. Brian O’leary speaking about these energy concepts:

LOCKHEED EXECUTIVE BLOWS LID OFF OF SECRET GOVERNMENT SPACE TRAVEL (QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT)

LOCKHEED EXECUTIVE BLOWS LID OFF OF SECRET GOVERNMENT SPACE TRAVEL (QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT)

ARJUN WALIA

It’s called quantum entanglement, it’s extremely fascinating and counter to what we believe to be the known scientific laws of the universe, so much so that Einstein himself could not wrap his head around it. Although it’s called “quantum entanglement,” though Einstein referred to it as “spooky action at a distance.”

Recent research has taken quantum entanglement out of the theoretical realm of physics, and placed into the one of verified phenomena. An experiment devised by the Griffith University’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics, led by Professor Howard Wiseman and his team of researchers at the university of Tokyo, recently published a paper in the journal Nature Communications confirming what Einstein did not believe to be real: the non-local collapse of a particle’s wave function. (source)(source), and this is just one example of many.

They did this by splitting a single photon between two laboratories, and testing whether measurement of it in one laboratory would actually cause a change in the local quantum state in the other laboratory. In doing so, researchers were able to verify the entanglement of the split single photon.

Researchers have since replicated this experiment over and over again, with results of entanglement seen at kilometres of distance. Below is a great visual depiction of what quantum entanglement from the film, “What The Bleep Do We Know.”

“Space is just the construct that gives the illusion that there are separate objects” – Dr. Quantum

Sure, there are a lot of philosophies regarding what all of this stuff actually means, but, as Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher puts it, it’s a pre-curser to realizing that everything is connected, and that everything in the universe is one. What happens in what we call reality, is effecting something else in that same reality, it’s all “touching.” (source)

What’s happening here is that, either we are witnessing the transfer of ‘information’ at a speed far greater than the speed of light, or even better, something completely instantaneous.

If all points in space are connected, that means vast distances between places are simply an illusion. Furthermore, quantum entanglement challenges Einsteins theory of relativity, but theories are developed to be tweaked and changed. Unfortunately, our world is plagued with secrecy, and you can learn more about that in an article about the black budget linked at the bottom of this article.

The Lockheed Executives Comments On Space Travel

Rich was the second director of Lockheed Skunkwork’s from 1975-1991. He’s been called the Father of Stealth, having overseen the development of the stealth fighter, the F-117A nighthawk. Before his death, Rich made several shocking open statements about the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrials.

“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do it.” (1)

“We now have technology to take ET home. No it won’t take someone’s lifetime to do it. There is an error in the equations. We know what it is. We now have the capability to travel to the stars.” (1)

“There are two types of UFOs — the ones we build and the ones ‘they’ build.” (1)

Where Quantum Entaglement Comes In

When Rich was asked how UFO propulsion worked, he said, “Let me ask you. How does ESP work?” The questioner responded with, “All points in time and space are connected?” Rich then said, “That’s how it works!”

Interesting to think about, isn’t it? Perhaps the vast distances that exist between planets, solar systems and more isn’t really as much of a barrier as we thought it was.

What Are The Sources For These Quotes?

One of the sources is aerospace journalist, James Goodall, who wrote for publications such as Jane’s Defense Weekly, Aviation Week and Space Technology, and Interavia. He is an accomplished speaker specializing in the history, development, and operations of the world’s only Mach 3 capable, manned air breathing aircraft, the SR-71 family of aircraft. (1) (source)(source)(source)

He is also an author, as well as the Associate Curator at the Pacific Aviation Meseum, HI. He was also the restoration manager at the Museum of Flight in Paine Field, Everett, WA.

Goodall interviewed many from the classified black budget world (read more about that world here.) He claimed that some of his contacts told him that “we have things out there that are literally out of this world, better than Star Trek or what you see in the movies.” (1)

From his work alone, James Goodall knew Ben Rich well. In a video interview, Goodall stated that he spoke to Rich approximately 10 days before he died:

“About ten days before he died, I was speaking to Ben on the telephone at the USC Medical Center in LA. And he said, ‘Jim, we have things out in the desert that are fifty years beyond what you can comprehend. They have about forty five hundred people at the Lockheed Skunk works. What have they been doing for the last eighteen or twenty years? They’re building something.’” (1)

Another source comes from John Andrews, who was a legendary Lockheed engineer. He had written to Rich, stating his own belief in UFOs, both manmade and extraterrestrial. Andrews has asked Rich if his own beliefs covered extraterrestrial as well as manmade UFOs. Rich’s reply was as follows:

“Yes, I’m a believer in both categories. I feel everything is possible. Many of our man-made UFOs are Un-Funded Opportunities. There are two types of UFOs, the ones we build, and the ones they build.” (1)

In Rich’s reply, he underlined the U, F, and O in “unfunded opportunities.”

Thirdly, Jan Harzan, a senior executive with IBM, along with Tom Keller, an aerospace engineer who has worked as a computer systems analyst for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, discusses a talk Ben gave some time ago. On March 23rd, 1993 at a UCLA School of Engineering talk where he was presenting a general history of Sunk Works, he said this:

“We now know how to travel to the stars. There is an error in the equations, and we have figured it out, and now know how to travel to the stars and it won’t take a lifetime to do it. It is time to end all the secrecy on this, as it no longer poses a national security threat, and make the technology available for use in the private sector. There are many in the intelligence community who would like to see this stay in the black and not see the light of day. We now have the technology to take ET home.” (1)

Here is a video of Jan telling the story:

What’s Remarkable About The ET/UFO Phenomenon

It’s quite remarkable how many verified statements we have regarding UFOs (unidentified flying objects) and extraterrestrials from people who have held the highest positions possible within the government, military, academia, politics and more. To be honest, it’s overwhelming, and when you put all of those statements together with all of the previously classified documentation that has been released over the past few years, it paints a startling picture. Anybody who has done even a fair amount of research, and adheres to the philosophy of “condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance,” would not be able to deny this, and I have yet to come across someone who has done the research that still subjects this topic to the “conspiracy theory” realm.

If you’d like to learn more about UFOs, a great place to start is by checking out what happens when they are tracked on military radar.

To view a fraction of some verified quotes, and documents, and more, you can sift through theexopolitics section of our website and browse through our heavily sourced articles there.

Below is an example, and a video I’ve used many times before, as it is an extremely powerful statement. I apologize if you’ve seen it before, but it really hits home. There really is an “abundant amount of evidence.”

Want to Learn More About The Secret Space Program?

Below is a great lecture given by researcher Richard Dolan. A great place to start. I apologize if you’ve seen this content before, but we always have new readers visiting our site, so it’s important to constantly put this information out there for those new eyes.

Gaan we binnenkort een planetoïde vangen?

Gaan we binnenkort een planetoïde vangen?

Tim Kraaijvanger

arm_capture-tilted.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1

NASA is van plan om in het volgende decennium een stukje van een planetoïde te vangen. Deze ruimtesteen wordt vervolgens in een baan om de maan uitgezet. Als het project doorgaat, is het een ambitieuze missie.

Oorspronkelijk was de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie van plan om een hele planetoïde te verplaatsen. Deze planetoïde stoppen astronauten in een soort gigantische boterhamzak om vervolgens verplaatst te worden. Dit plan gaat helaas niet door. In plaats van het verplaatsen van een hele planetoïde kiest NASA ervoor om een stukje planetoïde te verplaatsen.

Als de Asteroid Redirect Mission groen licht krijgt, dan wordt het ruimtevaartuig in december 2021 gelanceerd. De ruimtesonde reist mogelijk naar de asteroïde 2008 EV5. Deze asteroïde heeft een diameter van 400 meter. Naast 2008 EV5 zijn er nog een aantal alternatieven, waaronder Itokawa, Bennu en Ryugu. Itokawa is een oude bekende. Deze aardappelvormige planetoïde is in 2005 bezocht door de Japanse Hayabuse-ruimtesonde. In 2019 wordt het uiteindelijke doelwit bepaald.

arm-capture

Supergrote grijpmachine
Het ruimtevaartuig landt op de asteroïde, grijpt een vier meter grote steen vast en stijgt vervolgens op. De grijparmen boren zich in de steen, waardoor er sprake is van een stevige grip. Het is geen kermisgrijpertje, dat in 99% van alle gevallen het pluchen beertje uit zijn armen laat glippen. De lading in de ruimte verliezen betekent dat miljarden dollars door de figuurlijke wc worden gespoeld. Dat kan en mag niet gebeuren. Stel dat het ruimtevaartuig de ruimtesteen ergens nabij de aarde verliest, dan is dit overigens geen risico voor ons aardbewoners. Een steen van dit formaat verbrandt volledig in de atmosfeer.

Eenmaal de steen te pakken? Dan brengt de ARM-ruimtesonde de steen in een stabiele baan om de maan. Rond 2025 zal het brokstuk in de juiste baan om onze natuurlijke satelliet draaien. In 2026 wordt de asteroïde bezocht door vier astronauten. Dit wordt de Asteroid Crewed Redirect Mission genoemd. Astronauten koppelen de Orion-module aan het ruimtevaartuig en voeren verschillende ruimtewandelingen uit. Zij verzamelen stukjes van de planetoïde en brengen deze naar aarde.

De video hieronder geeft de hoogtepunten van de missie goed weer. Let op: sommige stukken zijn flink versneld, zoals het optillen van de steen op het oppervlak van de asteroïde.

De eerste stap naar Mars
De missie is ambitieus, maar ook zeer belangrijk voor de toekomst van de ruimtevaart. In de toekomst wil de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie astronauten op Mars laten landen. Dit betekent dat astronauten een lange reis van zes tot negen maanden afleggen van onze planeet naar de rode planeet. Tijdens deze reis worden zij blootgesteld aan kosmische straling en elektrisch geladen deeltjes van de zon. Wat zijn de gevolgen? NASA is bezig met de ontwikkeling van een nieuw ruimtepak, dat astronauten beschermt op Mars en in de ruimte. Dit pak kan al getest worden in de omgeving tussen de aarde en de maan tijdens de Asteroid Crewed Redirect Mission.

Geavanceerde ionenmotor
Om volledig afhankelijk te worden van de aarde zijn nieuwe voortdrijvingsmechanismen nodig. HetAsteroid Redirect Mission-ruimtevaartuig gebruikt geen ouderwetse (en achterhaalde) brandstoffen om van A naar B te vliegen. Er wordt gebruik gemaakt van Solar Electric Propulsion. De SEP-technologie gebruikt elektriciteit van de zonnepanelen (50 kW) om ionen met hoge snelheid af te stoten. Hierbij maakt de motor gebruik van het Hall-effect, waarbij elektronen worden gevangen in een magnetisch veld. Deze ionenmotor verbruikt tien keer minder brandstof (xenon) dan traditionele chemische raketten en is drie keer zo krachtig als eerdere modellen. Daarnaast is er sprake van een efficiëntie van 50%.

De asteroïde wordt in een baan om de maan geplaatst. Het ARM-ruimtevaartuig blijft aan de asteroïde vastzitten, zodat toekomstige ruimtevaartuigen gemakkelijk aan de ARM-sonde kunnen koppelen.

Afwenden van gevaarlijke asteroïden
Ook niet onbelangrijk is het feit dat NASA de koers van de asteroïde 2008 EV5 wil aanpassen. Het ruimtevaartuig gebruikt zijn eigen gewicht (achttien ton) en zijn lading (de vier tot zes meter grote ruimtesteen) om met zijn zwaartekracht de baan van de asteroïde te veranderen. Deze technologie kan in de toekomst gebruikt worden om gevaarlijke asteroïden – bijvoorbeeld objecten die op ramkoers liggen met de aarde – te verplaatsen. Hoe deze zogenoemde ‘gravity tractor’ werkt is hieronder te zien.

Nog even afwachten
Gaat deze missie echt door? Het is even afwachten, maar op dit moment gaat de missie moeiteloos door verschillende fases heen. Momenteel buigt NASA zich over de ontwikkeling en het ontwerp van het robotische ruimtevaartuig. Voor de ontwikkeling van het ruimtevaartuig is 1,4 miljard dollar vrijgemaakt, maar daar komen de kosten van het lanceersysteem en de kosten na de lancering nog bij.

Extraterrestrial Treaties with Majestic 12 Dating Back to 1958? | The TAU-IX Treaty Conference for The Preservation of Humanity

Extraterrestrial Treaties with Majestic 12 Dating Back to 1958? | The TAU-IX Treaty Conference for The Preservation of Humanity

Extraterrestrial%2BTreaties%2Bwith%2BMajestic%2B12%2BDating%2BBack%2Bto%2B1958%253F%2B%257C%2BThe%2BTAU-IX%2BTreaty%2BConference%2Bfor%2BThe%2BPreservation%2Bof%2BHumanity.jpg

(Stillness in the Storm Editor)The following is a series of articles from Dan Burisch's website from the mid-2000s. It details a narrative that corresponds to other secret space program whistleblowers in regard to extraterrestrial alliances that were formed and maintained throughout the latter half of the 20th Century.

However, like most attempts to reconcile insider testimony, there are divergences that present themselves. Burisch's information describes a series of beings he calls the J-Rods which is actually a branch of human beings from a future timeline, according to his testimony. They negotiated a series of agreements with the infamous Majestic 12 group in the 1950s, along with a race he terms the Orion "Talls."

Corey Goode is another secret space program whistleblower and insider, whose testimony has been regarded as some of the most credible. Goode claims that there are a vast number of secret government projects, all of which are heavily compartmentalized. Unacknowledged Special Access Programs are given a mandate by congress to hide their often nefarious activities from the public, at all costs. These programs will often concoct elaborate cover stories for people within the program so as to ensure the truth remains hidden, even from those working within it. Goode claims that one of these false narratives supplied to lower-level secret space programs is that extraterrestrials, which resemble human beings, are actually a future version of us.

From an investigator's perspective, reconciling testimony requires that all facts presented are analyzed and cross-referenced, revealing a tapestry of connections and inconsistencies. Regarding the notion of future humans, we have a point of correspondence between Burisch and Goode's testimony. Namely that what Burisch regards as future humans, Goode's narrative would explain as a false compartmentalization story supplied by higher-level programs. Goode's testimony also refers to some of the higher-level programs appearing to humanity with advanced technology as if they were non-terrestrial. Finally, Goode also states that ancient breakaway civilizations have existed below the surface of the Earth for thousands—and in some cases—millions of years. These inner-Earth beings appear to be human with fantastic psychic abilities an untrained eye would associate with extraterrestrials—or in this case—future humans.

To be clear, Burisch's testimony was provided some 10 years prior to Goode's revelations. And Goode has never explicitly stated that the J-Rods mentioned by Burisch are either inner-Earth beings or a covert part of other secret space programs. But what Goode does say, and seems to be accurate given the inconsistencies provided by alleged insiders, is that assets within programs are given false narratives specifically to befuddle researchers and assets who dare to discover what the whole truth is.

The following provides the avid investigator another side of the story regarding the hidden exopolitical history of the past century.

In our desire to know the whole truth, it is helpful to consider all points of view. The more complete and replete our knowledge, the greater our capacity to discern the ultimate truth—so long as we remain steadfast in our dedication to research all possible sources of information.

The Committee of the Majority

from DanBurisch Website

Or CotM as it is often abbreviated... membership lists available to the DULY-ELECTED representatives of the 110th Congress of the United States. Squabbling, narrow-minded and egotistical ufologists are advised to pound sand in the meantime.

The Committee of the Majority allegedly came into being sometime during the mid-1960’s. One alleged briefing for black-operations (Majestic) agents holds that it occurred in 1967, whenNikita Khrushchev threatened to with-hold his signature from the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty unless President Johnson opened up the secrets of Majestic 12 to an international group.

Related The Ultimate Secret: Majestic-12 | Secret Space Programs, ET Contacts, UFO's, Above Top Secret

In this he was supported by both UN Secretary-General U Thant and Indira Ghandi, prime minister of India.

The x-factor was the fear that this time around, Mr. Khrushchev might not back down as he had in October of 1962 over the missiles in Cuba. More importantly, there was a fear that the Soviet Union would create their own version of MJ-12 and sign an independent treaty with one or both factions of the zeta reticulans. Faction 'A' of the zetans subtly encouraged this line of thought, as it would encourage cooperation among the planet's superpowers.

The obvious problem with this time-line is that Khruschev was ousted in a coup in 1964 and the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty was signed in 1963. If we were to move the year to 1963, then it would have been Pres. Kennedy, prior to his assassination [allegedly at the hands of a complex plot organized by MJ-12 itself, a decision solidified by Kennedy sharing secrets with America's ‘enemies’].

In addition, the Prime Minister of India that year was Jawaharlal Nehru, not Indira Ghandi. Hence, there is conflicting information about exactly when the CotM was officially formed.

This writer’s personal opinion is that it would have occurred during 1963, and its formation is connected with Pres. Kennedy’s assassination, the signing of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and the aftermath of the Cuban missile crisis.

[Editor's note: recent events appear to confirm the year of formation was indeed 1963.]

The Committee is formed of 33 of the most powerful men on the planet, allegedly drawn primarily from the ranks of the Trilateral Commission and containing many of the most powerful people in the world. The original core group of Majestic 12 maintained direct authority and oversight of all extraterrestrial matters, and the remainder of the CotM coordinated international relations and the cover-up of the ET subject.

Related Majestic 12: Is This Legendary UFO Conspiracy U.S. Air Force Disinformation? (VIDEO)

The Committee is primarily a Masonic group, and as such was home to several factions of the legendary and elusive "Illuminati". This group , known by the slang term ‘illumes’ by majestic operatives, is primarily European, and as such is tied to the concept of a united Europe and its "euro" currency, much as Majestic is tied to its monetary unit, the American dollar. See the Illuminati for further details.

Sometime between the months of May, 2003 and November, 2003, the CotM was disbanded, allegedly at the instigation of a leading member of MJ-12 and to a lesser extent the influence of Dr. Burisch. It is this writer’s conjecture that it may have had to do with the internecine warfare between the Majestic and Illuminati elements within the Committee and their competing agendas.

One issue that appears to be a precipitating factor concerned the Ganesh Particle that had been discovered by Dr. Burisch, for which a Lotus model was to be constructed that would enable them to be produced at will. This "model" was to have been made ready by March 15, 2003.

On May 18, 2003, the famous "Rancher Memo" was signed by the POTUS, instructing that the oversight of Dr. Burisch’s Projects Lotus and Staarflower be removed from MJ-12 and placed under the oversight of the Committee.

The ‘bird and clock issues’ refer to alien (extra-terrestrial) and time-travel/knowledge-of-future-events (see DCTP) issues.

Throughout the saga of the search for Dr. Burisch, several former Committee members contacted this writer and made known their support for the Doctor and his work. Certain of these members were also treaty negotiators at the Tau-IX Treaty Conference for the Preservation of Humanity (above report), before the disbanding of the CotM, and as such are believed to have done their best in the interests of mankind.

History will soon record whether they have done so.

Majestic-12 Special Studies Project of The National Security Council

from DanBurisch Website

MJ-12’s full title is the Majestic-I2 Special Studies Project of the National Security Council.

Since late 2000, it has referred to itself as the "Working Group", possibly as a reference to the presidential selection of that year. It is referred to as MJ-I2 for short, but only informally and never in internal documents. MJ-12 is so secret and highly compartmentalized that only those at the top understand what it is they are protecting.

The majority of MJ-12 personnel are security personnel involved in covering up the UFOs’ activities on Earth as well as the government’s complicity with them. Most of the rest are technicians and scientists involved with finding applications for the UFOs’ gifts of technology and intelligence.

A tiny percentage are involved in directly negotiating with the Ultra-terrestrials, receiving their technology and intelligence, and setting MJ-12 policy.

’Historic’ MJ-12 image source unknown

The element that binds the diffuse elements of MJ-I2 together is MAJIC clearance.

Anything related to the U.S. government’s contact with the Ultra-terrestrials (extraterrestrials from our future - see J-RODS) is classified MAJIC material requiring MAJIC-level clearance for access.

MAJIC-level clearance is the highest security classification available in the United States government, and makes the holder a "super-user" in the intelligence community. MAJIC clearance holders are able to access information and enter facilities no matter what organization the MAJIC clearance holder belongs to, or which intelligence agency has the information or operates the facility.

Former members of MJ-I2’s inner circle retain MAJIC clearance after they leave government service and even certain extremely wealthy and influential private citizens have acquired MAJIC clearance. MJ-12 is diffuse.

Its membership, facilines, intelligence files, and budget are spread out among the CIA and the various branches of the Department of Defense.

MJ-I2’s current membership is confined to select members of:

the NSC
the CIA
the DIA
the NSA
the NRO
the U.S. Space Command
the Air Force Intelligence Agency
the Army Intelligence and Security Command
and above all, the Office of Naval Intelligence

The last one is alleged to be the principal intelligence agency in authority over projects that take place at the legendary Area 51 facilities as well as the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratories in New Mexico involving the extra-terrestrial guests. It is alleged that over the years the CIA has been losing its influence in MJ-12 due to encroachment by the NSA, DIA, and the military intelligence branches.

The Department of Defense controls the lion’s share of MJ-12’s resources and personnel, while careful attention is paid to maintaining separate status.

MJ-12 is well organized and well financed.

Dan Burisch: I was unaware until a few years ago of the Masonic connection to Majestic, that in fact they were also connected to the so-called Illuminati.

DONDEP: I’m familiar with the entrances at 1733 and 2800 on 16th street to the hallowed halls

Dan Burisch: I am aware of the Temples.
Dan Burisch: 1733 and 2800, addresses?
Dan Burisch: Only been to one of them.
Dan Burisch: and was driven there.

DONDEP: Yes, to 1789. You don’t think they go in the front door, did you?

Dan Burisch: I was taken in down a long line of sphinxes... The subculture within the MJ community let me in on all that Illuminati stuff.

FINNISH UFO HUNTER FOUND A BIZZARE 'ALIEN ANTENNA' ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON

FINNISH UFO HUNTER FOUND A BIZZARE 'ALIEN ANTENNA' ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON

There have been continual hints towards humans and those on Earth that aliens do exist, and they do have an agenda of their own. There have been continual findings by ufologists and fanatics of the topic. However there has been one new finding that could solidify the long-debate argument.

One hunter of aliens is believed to have found a unique discovery on the moon in an antenna. Mark Sawalha, A UFO hunter in Finland states he noticed a strange spike in a NASA photo. Sawalha claims it is an alien antenna, and it is the antenna connected to an alien base. Therefore the location is most likely underground.

Zoomed in the photo, it appears to be a slightly curled nail-like object sticking up from the ground. It looks like a nail for hanging pictures and holding things in place; however, there would be no reason for something like that on the moon. Therefore it must be something else.

It is believed aliens are using the materials on the moon and have several other bases on the moon. Sawalha states that NASA knows about this as well, but prefers not to publish them.

Another expert is refuting this believe of an antenna poking through the moon. He states that it is a mere optical illusion, and this perceived spike through the ground is nothing more shadows from a hill from behind that creates this illusion.

Earlier in the year, another theory came out about this sighting. This theory entails the idea that it is a launching pad for aliens. However another researcher who works with NASA states that it is simply a crater within another crater.

Another theory is that the spire was built for a very large vessel. This theory too, however, has been shut down and heavily disagreed with. Researchers told the Huffington Post that it is just a bunch of craters.

The sun was low on the horizon as well, so this could have put a shadow along the east side of the moon, which may have created this illusion of an antenna.

Elon Musk ‘sluit niet uit’ dat SpaceX-raket werd geraakt door UFO

Elon Musk ‘sluit niet uit’ dat SpaceX-raket werd geraakt door UFO

SpaceX-directeur Elon Musk heeft gezegd dat onderzoekers niet kunnen uitsluiten dat een ongeïdentificeerd vliegend object de explosie van een Falcon-testraket heeft veroorzaakt.

De Amerikaanse raketbouwer heeft het publiek nu om hulp gevraagd bij het verklaren van de oorzaak van de ontploffing eerder deze maand in Cape Canaveral in Florida. Bij de ontploffing ging ook de 200 miljoen dollar kostende Israëlische telecomsatelliet Amos-6 verloren.

Meest complexe en moeilijkste ongeluk

Op YouTube verschenen al snel filmpjes waarin een mysterieus object te zien is dat vlak voor de crash langs de raket vliegt. In reactie op iemand die vroeg of het klopt dat de raket door iets is geraakt, antwoordde Musk: “We kunnen dat niet uitsluiten.”

Het is nog volkomen onduidelijk waardoor de raket van het ruimtevaartbedrijf vorige week op het lanceerplatform ontplofte. Musk zegt dat de explosie ‘het meest complexe en moeilijkste ongeluk’ is dat hij heeft meegemaakt in 14 jaar ruimtevaart.

Geluid

De Falcon 9-raket explodeerde twee dagen voor de lancering tijdens een test van de motoren. Volgens Musk waren de motoren op dat moment niet ingeschakeld en was er ook geen andere hittebron.

Musk zegt verder dat er enkele seconden voor de vuurbal een kleinere knal te horen was. Het is nog niet duidelijk waar dat geluid door werd veroorzaakt. Het ongeluk wordt onderzocht door een team van 20 mensen. SpaceX krijgt hulp van onder meer de NASA, de Amerikaanse luchtvaartautoriteit en de luchtmacht.

Vorig jaar ontplofte een Falcon 9-raket tijdens de lancering. Toen moest het bedrijf het werk zes maanden neerleggen om naar de oorzaak te zoeken.

VREEMDE WAARNEMING BOVEN ENSCHEDE

VREEMDE WAARNEMING BOVEN ENSCHEDE

Een lezer uit Enschede neemt een vreemd object waar in de lucht enkele dagen geleden wanneer hij een raam open zet om een sigaret te roken.

Iets dat klaarblijkelijk eerder door andere mensen in het land is waargenomen en waarvan niemand nog weet wat het is.

Op 7 september rond tien uur in de avond ziet een lezer vanaf de 8ste verdieping van een flatgebouw iets vreemds in de lucht.

Hij omschrijft het als volgt (dank!):

Ik moest vandaag tot 22:00 uur werken. Thuis gekomen wat gegeten. Daarna mijn keuken raam open gezet om nog even over de stad te kijken en een sigaret te roken. Ik woon 8 hoog. Mijn oog viel toen op een helder licht.

Ik dacht eerst dat ik in de straal motoren keek van een stijgend vliegtuig. Mede doordat ik het zag knipperen.

Maar het licht werd niet kleiner wat normaal wel gebeurd met een vliegtuig. Daarna dacht ik dat het wel eens een planeet zou kunnen zijn, dus gegoogled welke planeet het dan zou kunnen zijn. Maar kwam er al snel achter via verschillende sites dat er op dit moment geen planeet aan de hemel is te zien.

Daarna op sterren gegoogled, omdat sommige sterren knipperen. Dat was het ook niet want het licht had zich verplaatst ten opzichte van de andere sterren.

Het knippert wit,rood en groen. Ik heb het door een kleine verrekijker bekeken, en het is net of het groen en rood om het wit circelt. Helaas niet echt een goede verrekijker. Ik zag het om 22:50, om 0:00 zag ik het nog. Tis nu 0:10 nu zie ik het niet meer.

Mijn vraag is of meer mensen dit hebben gezien. Het ging van west naar noord. Heb al zelf gegoogled en kom er achter dat in 2014 mensen dit licht al hebben gezien. Mijn vraag is of er meer mensen dit hebben gezien. 07-09-2016. Het vloog langzaamen in een rechte lijn.

Het lijkt op een object dat iets meer dan twee jaar geleden ook is waargenomen, op 11 maart 2014, eveneens boven Enschede:

Ik was met mijn vriendin een sigaret aan het roken in de gang, toen ik het object in de lucht zag hangen. Het was veel feller dan het de sterren en het leek lager te hangen in de lucht maar toch te ver weg om de vorm van het object goed waar te nemen.

Het bleef eerst heel lang op 1 plek zweven en ging langzaam steeds meer naar beneden en trok toen naar het noorden.

Dit object bleef ik van 22:30 tot aan 23:45 volgen. Ik ben toen naar bed gegaan en de volgende dag(vandaag) begon het mij toch te knagen. Ik deed research op het internet en kwam op deze website terecht, waar ik al gelijk een vergelijkbaar ervaring heb gevonden en heb gelezen

Het was net iets groter dan de sterren in de hemel. Het had rode en groene (soms oranje) fel knipperende lichten. Ik ging in de tuin staan maar hoorde totaal geen geluid. De hoogte is moeilijk in te schatten. Het leek heel laag te hangen maar doordat het vergelijkbaar was met de sterren, heb ik het gevoel dat het heel ver weg was. Ook hoorde ik geen enkel geluid. De snelheid was zeer langzaam en het had een rare koers van vliegen. Eerst vloog hij heel langzaam in een rechte streep naar beneden en later vloog het object steeds verder naar het noorden toe.

Mijn vriendin heeft het ook gezien en ook zij kon geen vliegtuig of ster herkennen dat zo vel was en een onmogelijke manier van vliegen had.

Er reageert dan een dame uit Geldrop die zegt dat zij op diezelfde avond hetzelfde object heeft gezien, wat er na uitvergroting uitziet als volgt:

xxx

Wat is het en hebben meer mensen op/rond 7 september iets gezien wat lijkt op bovenstaande?

Date of sighting: Sept 10, 2016
Location of sighting: Earths Sun

This was found by BPEarthWatch of youtube this week and its just amazing. The large black curved line is a enforced force field that protects the giant disk behind it. BPEarthWatch states, "Guys, this is something strange. It looks like a spinning disk, with snmething out in front of it." Then nn goes onto say, "when looking at the front, its closer to a shield or a cloaking device." He is spot on about that.

Also know, BPEarthWatch has deleted the last big UFO video about Nibiru for unknown reasons. Probably got nervous of the US gov, so you might want to make a back up of this amazing video for your own records.

This structure found in Tycho crater was discovered by Streetcap1 of Youtube. Its actually very detailed and you can see many sections of this structure, as well as archways along the side of a connector tunnel between buildings.

This is actually important not just for UFOlogy, but for humanity in general. If this is an abandoned alien base, the Streetcap1 may have just found the perfect location for the next NASA mission. Imagine an entire base of structures 5-7 miles across! It would be a crime not to utilise such a useful waypoint in space that could save humanity from extinction.

Many UFOs Seen During Lightning Storm Over Corsica On Sept 8, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Many UFOs Seen During Lightning Storm Over Corsica On Sept 8, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 8, 2016
Location of sighting: Corsica, ?

UFOs are frequently seen during lightning storms, often shooting about at incredible speed and can only be seen by taking video, then slowing it down to catch them. I believe they cause the lightning storms and they also use them to feed off the lightning.
Scott C. Waring
www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Eyewitness states:
09/08/16 - That night was my last night in Corsica, just before the end of vacations. A beautiful thunderstorm surprised tourists, around 21 : 00 pm. A lot of people gathered to witness the huge lightning bolts crossing the dark sky. As the house I rented was close to this nice place, I quickly took my camera and tried to catch a few lightning strikes. I sat down and put my elbows on my knees to be as stable as possible. I was not looking at the screen while recording, fortunately: I noticed strange lights falling down the sky just after the lightning twice. I immediately thought about a previous video I shot in summer 2014 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwoFi... ) that showed almost the same thing. I checked the videos on my computer, and indeed saw an orange light falling down the sky on two of the seven videos I recorded this night. I was pretty satisfied of what I had caught, but I wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything else. After checking the five other videos, to find nothing... I came back to the two interesting videos, and found many other weird things. On the first recording that is shown in this video, I noticed a total of four individual lights near the lightning bolt. They look exactly like my previous video. Probably some rare ball lightning phenomena, as many said in my previous video... But I'm not convinced. One of the lights seems hit by the lightning, and creates some kind of electric discharge. The object then falls off the sky, and looks like it's burning. I then noticed two big "explosions" in the second lightning bolt. I first thought "Nothing impressive, probably the lightning bolt's normal pattern". But after viewing the footage in slow-mo, I saw a kind of fast "light" going in the storm direction. The object went straight through the lightning bolt, causing the strange "electrical explosion". Right now, I can't explain this phenomena, I have no idea of how that is possible. Another explosion of this type is visible at 2:41, but I don't know if it's related to the first one. Who knows. But I'm sure there's a link between the group of orange lights and this "explosion". After checking the second video and spotting the same "falling UFO" and four / five other lights aligned above the lightning bolt, I started opening my editing program to type explanations on the videos. When zooming in to show some closeups, I noticed a suspect stationary object next to the storm. On the video, it really looks metallic, due to the lightning reflecting on its side. I'm even more confused about this one. Maybe some type of craft spying the area? Man-made or not, this object is really weird too. My guess is that the two falling objects are UFOs (any object) hit by the strikes, burning and falling while being consumed in mid-air. Probably the same thing for the very first object. (@ 1:33) The explosions are either "normal" and part of the lightning bolt... Or come from the moving light. Are all these objects linked together? And what about that fast moving light? Anyway, tell me what you think about these recordings in the comments, I need your opinion. :)

Basketball-sized UFO Makes A Fly-By At Tree Line

Basketball-sized UFO Makes A Fly-By At Tree Line

witness-illustration-ufo

Star-like UFO spotted above the sky in Revere, Massachusetts traveling at the tree top level. It was about the size of basketball, according to the reporting witness’ testimony filed in Case 78541 of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The strange event reportedly took place around 10:30 in the morning on May 26, 2016.

He was in his living room upstairs when he happened to glance out his window. He noticed a white and gray angular object flew silently in a straight line in front of the trees, coming from some power lines.

He described the object as a little bigger than a basketball and appeared like a star. He found no wings, propellers or any propulsion that can be seen in an airplane. Though he was stunned to witness the mysterious incident, he had not felt any threat, the witness claimed.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the time to get his camera and record the unusual activity because the UFO flew quickly out of sight, according to the witness in his report. He chose not to tell his neighbors about the encounter as he believed they would not understand and think he was crazy.

UFO Flying Above A House Baffles A Father In Macclesfield

UFO Flying Above A House Baffles A Father In Macclesfield

ufo

Chris Henry may have written multiple books about the UFO subject, but claims he has never seen anything like the one he just spotted before.

A father-of-four is looking for an answer after he saw a mysterious UFO from his kitchen window.

Macclesfield resident on Mayfield Avenue, Chris Henry, was waiting for a friend to pick him up at around 7 pm on August 25, Thursday, when a strange object appeared in the sky. He managed to record the object on video, but could not explain what he just witnessed.

He described it as like an egg-timer shape. Chris, 27, who has written books on UFOs, claimed that he had watched hundreds of videos showing UFOs, but the one he spotted was unlike anything he has witnessed before.

Chris filmed it from his doorstep, and it was only when he reviewed it back home and zoomed in the video that he saw how strange was the object.

When he posted the video on Facebook, people suspected it could be a hot air balloon or a drone, but he disagreed because it was too high up – it was flying at a plane level in miserable weather.

e doesn’t believe it is a drone either because the object does not have wings and propellers.

The Heat Is On: Search Begins for 'Alien' Life Beneath Earth

The Heat Is On: Search Begins for 'Alien' Life Beneath Earth

By Charles Q. Choi, Live Science Contributor

Geogemma barossii takes the record for tolerating the hottest temperatures of any catalogued life-form. The single-celled organism was found in a deep-sea hydrothermal vent along the Endeavor segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge (shown here). But can life survive even hotter conditions? Scientists hope to find out.

By exploring the limits of life deep beneath the seafloor, an upcoming international research mission will seek to discover what scorching levels of heat may be too extreme for life on Earth — and maybe alien life on distant worlds.

The public can also take part in an online contest to guess the hottest temperature at which life can exist.

On Sept. 12, scientists are heading out for a 60-day quest aboard the state-of-the-art Japanese drilling vessel Chikyu to the Nankai Trough, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) off the coast of Japan. The ocean is about 2.9 miles (4.7 km) deep there, and the expedition will drill down 0.75 miles (1.2 km) beneath the seafloor to collect samples. All in all, the distance from the ocean's surface to the sample depth is equivalent to the height of about 20 Eiffel Towers. [Infographic: Explore Earth from the Tallest Mountain to the Deepest Ocean Trench]

New life-forms?

The Nankai Trough is located near the superhot border of two clashing tectonic plates, where underwater volcanoes bubble like cauldrons. The samples that researchers will collect may reach temperatures of 266 degrees Fahrenheit (130 degrees Celsius). Gathering such hot samples in other areas would require drilling to about 2.5 miles (4 km) below the seafloor, rather than the 0.75 miles currently planned, the researchers said.

"We may discover some unknown life-forms that can survive or adapt to the extremely challenging deep and hot sedimentary environment," Fumio Inagaki, the expedition's co-chief scientist and a researcher at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, told Live Science. "The nature and extent of the deep sub-seafloor biosphere is still largely unknown."

Analyzing such deep-sea microbes could help scientists inthe search for alien life. "We have already known, based on previous DNA-based studies, that most microbes living in marine subsurface sediments are evolutionarily distinct from known life in the Earth's surface biosphere," Inagaki said. "In this sense, we may have already seen alien life in the different world on our planet," since they are distinct from life on the surface, he noted.

"Our study will provide some clues to understand habitability of deep life not only below the ocean floor of our planet, but also inside of other celestial bodies," Inagaki added. A deeper understanding of how life might live in extreme places on Earth could shed light on whether or not it could exist in similarly extreme places elsewhere.

A globular, single-celled organism called Geogemma barossii tolerates the highest temperatures of any catalogued life-form on Earth. The microbe was discovered in 2003, in deep-sea hydrothermal vents at the Juan de Fuca Ridge off the northwest U.S. coast, where it withstands temperatures of about 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). The new samples that scientists hope to collect as part of the International Ocean Discovery Program's (IODP) Expedition 370 may yield microbes that break the current record for the hottest temperature at which life on Earth can exist. [Axial Seamount: Images of an Erupting Undersea Volcano]

Like a trip to outer space

Chikyu is the world's largest scientific research ship, measuring 689 feet long, 125 feet wide and 393 feet high (210 by 38 by 120 m), Inagaki said. A system of thrusters and GPS sensors also makes the ship quite stable, "enabling the vessel to keep at the same position for deep drilling under strong currents," he added.

To search for the temperature limit for Earth-style life, scientists aboard the Japanese drilling vessel Chikyu will head to the Nankai Trough.

Indeed, an ordinary research vessel wouldn't suffice for such an extreme mission.

"This expedition is as complex as a mission to outer space might be," Kai-Uwe Hinrichs, a researcher at the University of Bremen in Germany and lead author of the scientific proposal behind the expedition, said in a statement.

"It requires the technology to 'land' the coring bit on the right spot in over 4-kilometer-deep water, drill through ancient ocean sediments to collect samples far below the ocean floor, bring them back onboard intact, then transport them by helicopter to the super-clean geomicrobiology laboratory to ensure no contamination," Hinrichs added. "Like a space mission, this expedition is fraught with complexity, danger and vast opportunity for discovery."

After the samples are collected, they will be sent on a 1-hour helicopter ride to a superclean lab onshore (to prevent contamination), where scientists will investigate them further. The researchers will analyze the qualities of the sediments and count minuscule and sparse cells, looking for as few as 100 cells per 0.06 cubic inches (1 cubic centimeter), or about the equivalent of 100 sand grains floating in an Olympic-size swimming pool.

"Looking for life in core samples is like looking for a needle in a haystack," Yuki Morono, the expedition's co-chief scientist and a researcher at the Kochi Institute for Core Sample Research in Japan, said in the statement. "At the surface, the sediments are teeming with microbial cells, but in samples from deeper in the core, the cells become far more sparse."

The aim of the expedition is to define the limits to deep-dwelling life by exploring the so-called biotic fringe, the boundary where current knowledge predicts that no living cells persist. The mission will examine whether this boundary is sharp, diffuse or exists at all.

"We have the extraordinary opportunity to explore the depth at which sediments and rocks become too hot for life, even for microbes that can live at temperatures greater than 85 degrees C [185 degrees F]," Verena Heuer, the expedition's co-chief scientist and a researcher at the University of Bremen in Germany, said in the statement.

"The gradual increase in temperature from approximately 30 degrees C to 130 degrees C [86 to 266 degrees F] in the sampled sediments will give us the opportunity to explore how microbial life changes with increasing temperatures and ultimately ceases to exist," Heuer added. "Is this lower boundary of the sub-seafloor's habitable zone like a rigid brick wall, or is it like a leaky fence?"

The researchers will also use DNA-sequencing technology to determine the ancestry of deep-sea microbes and how they adapt to such extreme environments. During the cruise, they will share their experiences via blogs and the Expedition 370 website.

The public is also invited to guess the heat limit of deep life via an online contest.

10 Futuristic Technologies 'Star Trek' Fans Would Love to See

10 Futuristic Technologies 'Star Trek' Fans Would Love to See

By Elizabeth Howell, Live Science Contributor

INTRO: To boldly go

Though the TV show first debuted in the 1960s, "Star Trek" has sometimes seemed ahead of its time, particularly when it comes to the technologies featured on screen. From crewmembers toting communicators long before cell phones were ubiquitous to the automatic sliding doors aboard the Starship Enterprise, the show's innovation has delighted its fans for decades. This year, "Star Trek celebrates its 50th anniversary, and though some of the technologies from the show now have real-life counterparts, there are some aspects of the show that are still squarely in the realm of science fiction.

From the tech that lets the Starship Enterprise explore the universe to the devices that enable crewmembers to rapidly send information and people across great distances, here are 10 futuristic technologies Trekkies would love to have.

FIRST UP: Going faster than light ...

1. Warp drive

In "Star Trek," when the crew of the Enterprise wanted to set out for another star, they were able to use warp drive to zip across great cosmic distances (something that's particularly helpful if you need to rescue a Starfleet crew that's fighting off Romulans).

Unfortunately, the physics of warp drive doesn't quite add up, though faster-than-light travel does have a basis in real science. Part of the problem has to do with Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Simply speaking, as a spacecraft approaches the speed of light, the ship also becomes infinitely massive, which ultimately prevents it from breaking the barrier. Until scientists find a way of getting around that cosmic speed limit, we'll have to putter around closer to home. [Warped Physics: 10 Effects of Faster-Than-Light Travel]

NEXT UP: Beam me up

2. Transporters

Ah, to be able to commute from Los Angeles to New York City in the blink of an eye. Transporters were a device commonly used in "Star Trek" to beam people (and objects) between the Starship Enterprise and the surface of a planet or moon (and in some cases, between two spaceships).

Real-life teleportation for people is far from a reality, but in the bizarre world of quantum teleportation, there have been some advancements. Quantum teleportation is governed by the nature of quantum physics, which says the fundamental building blocks of the universe can exist in two or more places at the same time. Quantum teleportation involves capturing the so-called quantum states of an object and transmitting that information instantaneously to another location, recreating the exact object someplace else. In 2015, scientists teleported photons (packets of light) across a spool of fiber optics 63 miles (102 kilometers) long. This quadrupled the previous record, and also opens the possibility that such technology could help improve encryption, the researchers said.

NEXT UP: "Printing" food ...

Replicators

3. Replicators

"Tea, Earl Grey, hot" is perhaps the best-ever example of product placement in a space-based TV show. Whenever Captain Jean-Luc Picard, from "Star Trek: The Next Generation," was back in his quarters, he often sought a way to relax in between the stressful duties of leading the crew of a starship. On the show, replicators were machines that functioned as molecular assemblers, essentially rearranging subatomic particles into molecules to create virtually anything out of thin air. Crewmembers aboard the Enterprise most commonly used replicators to make food or water.

The closest real-life version of a replicator is a 3D printer, which uses a computer's digital instructions to print plastic, ceramic or metal objects right before your eyes. We're still a long way from being able to make real food in space, but simple tools are now available on the International Space Station, thanks to Made In Space's 3D printer. Over time, Made In Space plans to open final-frontier printing to private clients, and even university students.

NEXT UP: Going back in time

4. Time travel

Time travel is a very common device in the "Star Trek" world, especially as a way to make commentary on how backward human societies were in the 1960s or 1980s. In the 1986 film "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," time travel was used as a device to poke fun at LSD, destroying the environment and even punks on buses with boom boxes.

While time travel devices are common in science fiction, scientists haven't figured out yet how to do it — that is, except in a very special, small way. We do know that people moving closer to the speed of light age slower than people back on Earth. On a smaller scale, even astronauts who have lived aboard the International Space Station and travel at 17,150 miles per hour (27,600 km/h) age ever so slightly slower than they would have on Earth. But unlike true time travel, these differences are mere moments. [The 7 Silliest Time Travel Concepts in Science Fiction]

5. Holodecks

The holodeck was one of the great inventions of the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation." In the holodeck aboard the USS Enterprise, Captain Jean-Luc Picard could explore simulated environments or perform virtual and interactive exercises and training simulations without having to leave the ship. But what makes this technology challenging in real life is that scientists don't yet know how to create three-dimensional figures that you can interact with in real time. Light is tricky that way, after all.

The closest thing to a holodeck that exists right now is a virtual reality device that you can strap on your head. While you're not in a physical space that simulates reality, the smaller device can let you do things such as fly in space or visit your favorite archaeological site. VR devices are even being used on roller coasters to let people fight epic alien battles while experiencing real-life G-forces.

UP NEXT: Futuristic medicine

6. Tricorders

If a character on "Star Trek" got sick or injured on another planet, tricorders were devices that could temporarily patch them up. A crewmember could wave the device over a person's body and get an instant diagnosis. In some cases, the device could cauterize simple wounds or do other basic medical work, too.

A competition called the Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE, launched in 2014, aims to create devices that can at least diagnose some conditions in the field. It is expected that these devices will be of great help in isolated areas on Earth, such as in the far north or in rural areas that are far from medical access.

7. Cloaking devices

One of the most menacing forms of Klingon combat comes when their "Bird of Prey" ships hide in wait for enemy ships to pass by. These ships sit there, immune to radar or other forms of detection and then uncloak just when they're swooping in for the kill.

In the real world, scientists have created cloaking devices with metamaterials — arrays of small electronic devices — that work together to change the reflection and refraction of light that we are used to. But NASA's David Allen Batchelor recently wrote that this technology can only go so far. "New varieties of metamaterials undoubtedly will produce new, strange effects, but they don't seem capable of providing complete invisibility," hewrote in a NASA blog post about the science of "Star Trek."

8. Universal translators

In the 2016 film "Star Trek: Beyond," Captain James T. Kirk was approached for help by someone who didn't speak English. She eventually stood in a small chamber that automatically translated her words into something Kirk and his superiors could understand.

You could argue that we're already making progress towards a reality where languages can be translated on the fly, although current technologies are mostly catered to written speech instead of spoken speech. Google Translate and Bing Translate both allow for instant translation on the web, and Bing even provides Klingon translations for Trekkies. Google Goggles, a mobile app developed by Google with image recognition capabilities, is an emerging technology that aims to translate street signs and other text seen in the real world.

9. Subspace communications

How often have you seen Uhura (or your favorite "Star Trek" communications officer) hailing distant planets or Starfleet bases using a so-called "subspace communications" system? This tech lets the Enterprise crew talk with people on the other side of a galaxy as though they were sitting in the same room, without any time delays.

To date, the only real-world example of this is in the microscopic world, particularly the phenomenon sometimes known as "spooky action at a distance." This happens at the quantum level when an effect on one particle appears to instantaneously affect a paired particle, enabling the entangled particles to instantly communicate. Scientists are still trying to figure out why this happens, and what this means for our understanding of time. But practically? We can't send communications this way, as far as scientists can tell.

10. Androids

While many people own android phones, these are mobile devices that are nowhere near as capable as the robotic android Data was in "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Data could not only process information quickly (as a computer does), but his systems were capable of hosting an emotion chip. Data gladly accepted the challenge of living with fear or anger because he wanted to be more human.

While robots aren't quite as sophisticated as Data was, we have seen examples of talkative bots in space. In 2013, a talkative Japanese robot named Kirobo embarked on an 18-month mission to the International Space Station. The bot, designed to help researchers study human-robot interactions, chatted with Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata; at the time, its designers speculated it could be used to help lonely seniors who can't leave the house much.

ff37

In special reports, this week’s files cover. Possible “Alien” Signal Detected, SpaceX Rocket Explosion, Company Has Permission to Land on the Moon, UFO Cosmic Revenge, Soviet KGB Had Contact with ET for 20 Years, Navy Destroyer’s Close Encounter in the Bering Sea, and Anomalies Found in Background Photo of Moon.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, Switzerland, and England in the United Kingdom.

The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Possible “Alien” Signal Detected From 95 Light Years Away.

A “strong signal” detected by a radio telescope in Russia that is scanning the heavens for signs of extraterrestrial life has stirred interest among the scientific community.

“No one is claiming that this is the work of an extraterrestrial civilization, but it is certainly worth further study,” said Paul Gilster, author of the Centauri Dreams website which covers peer-reviewed research on deep space exploration. The signal is from the direction of a HD164595, a star about 95 light-years from Earth. The star is known to have at least one planet, and may have more. The observation is being made public now, but was actually detected last year by the RATAN-600 radio telescope in Zelenchukskaya, Russia, he said.

Experts say it is far too early to know what the signal means or where, precisely, it came from.

“But the signal is provocative enough that the RATAN-600 researchers are calling for permanent monitoring of this target,” wrote Gilster.

The discovery is expected to feature in discussions at the 67th International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico, on September 27.

“Working out the strength of the signal, the researchers say that if it came from an isotropic beacon, it would be of a power possible only for a Kardashev Type II civilization,” Gilster wrote, referring to a scale-system that indicates a civilization far more advanced than our own.

“If it were a narrow beam signal focused on our Solar System, it would be of a power available to a Kardashev Type I civilization,” indicating one closer to Earth’s capabilities.

Gilster, who broke the story on August 27, said he had seen a presentation on the matter from Italian astronomer Claudio Maccone. “Permanent monitoring of this target is needed,” said the presentation.

Nick Suntzeff, a Texas A&M University astronomer told the online magazine

“I would follow it if I were the astronomers, but I would also not hype the fact that it may be at SETI signal given the significant chance it could be something military.” Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website Read more at: Website

Dramatic Video Shows Huge Scale of SpaceX Rocket Explosion

Mike Wall, Space.com Writer reports: The explosion of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket this morning September 1, 2016, was caught on video, and viewing it is quite an experience. An unidentified flying object possibly two were seen moving near the rocket just prior to and during the explosion.

Loss of Falcon vehicle during propellant fills operation originated around upper-stage oxygen tank. Cause is still unknown. SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said yesterday via his Twitter account, @elonmusk.

Another report claims the two-stage Falcon 9 and its payload, a communications satellite called Amos-6, were destroyed during an engine test Thursday, which was part of the standard protocol to prepare for a planned Saturday (Sept. 3) launch from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

“The anomaly originated around the upper-stage oxygen tank and occurred during propellant loading of the vehicle,” The rocket’s upper stage exploded at 9:07 a.m. EDT (1307 GMT), setting off a dramatic, fiery cascade captured on video by U.S. Launch Report, a nonprofit that helps disabled veterans experience launches. (The explosion occurs at the 1-minute, 11-second mark in the video.)

The initial fireball quickly fills the entire left half of the video’s field of view; a few seconds later, Amos-6 falls to the ground, setting off another series of explosions.

SpaceX rocket Explosion

Video is from CNBC covering SpaceX rocket explosion on launch pad 40 on 9/1/16 at 0907.

The explosion marks the second loss of a Falcon 9 in the last 14 months. On June 28, 2015, a Falcon 9 broke apart less than three minutes after launching SpaceX’s robotic Dragon cargo capsule on a resupply mission toward the International Space Station for NASA. That accident was traced to a faulty steel strut in the rocket’s upper stage.

The Amos-6 satellite was owned by the Israeli-based company Spacecom and co-funded by Facebook. The spacecraft would have provided internet access to parts of sub-Saharan Africa.

The public was warned not to pick up any debris from the explosion, suggesting some type of radiation might be present.

Note: The explosion may be an accident or a warning from the UFO present at the time of the explosion. Allegedly, we were warned to stay off the Moon.

For The First Time Ever, A Private Company Has Permission To Land On The Moon.

moonexpress

“This is not only a milestone, but really a threshold for the entire commercial space industry,” Moon Express co-founder and CEO Bob Richards told Space.com. [Images: Moon Express’ Private Lunar Lander.

For the first time ever, a private company has permission to land on the moon by the State Department and Department of Defense.

The U.S. government has officially approved the planned 2017 robotic lunar landing of Florida-based Moon Express, which aims to fly commercial missions to Earth’s nearest neighbor and help exploit its resources, company representatives announced. Eventually a base would be established with a thirty man mining team. Moon Express’ MX-1 lunar Lander could also perform a variety of other functions in space, company officials say such as planetary defense.

UFO “Cosmic Revenge”

After Mikhail Gorbachev dissolved, in 1991, the KGB top secret intelligence administration, a lot of material from that department found their way abroad, in particular to the CIA. As reported by the authoritative magazine Canadian Weekly World News, U.S. intelligence obtained a 250-page file on the attack by a UFO on a military unit in Siberia. The file contains not only many documentary photographs and drawings, but also testimonies by actual participants in the events. One of the CIA representatives referred to this case as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one’s blood freeze.” According to the KGB materials, a quite low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer appeared above a military unit that was conducting routine training maneuvers. For unknown reasons, somebody unexpectedly launched a surface-to-air missile and hit the UFO. It fell to earth not far away, and five short humanoids with “large heads and large black eyes” emerged from it.

sphereicalufo

It is stated in the testimonies by the two soldiers who remained alive that, after freeing themselves from the debris, the aliens came close together and then “merged into a single object that acquired a spherical shape.” That object began to buzz and hiss sharply, and then became brilliant white. In a few seconds, the spheres grew much bigger and exploded by flaring up with an extremely bright light. At that very instant, 23 soldiers who had watched the phenomenon turned into stone poles. Only two soldiers who stood in the shade and were less exposed to the luminous explosion survived. He KGB report goes on to say that the remains of the UFO and the “petrified soldiers” were transferred to a secret scientific research institution near Moscow. Specialists assume that a source of energy that is still unknown to earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers’ living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whose molecular composition is no different from that of limestone. A CIA representative stated: “if the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case. The aliens possess advanced weapons and technology. They can stand up for themselves if attacked. ` Website of Lord Weÿrdgliffe: http://www.geocities Reprint from The Newspaper Ternopil Vechirniy. .

KGB Had Contact with ET for 20 Years

generalsavin

Russia is believed to have knowledge of extraterrestrial beings for over 20 years, and retried high rank officials have been trying to expose this secret, but to no avail. The media seemingly managed to intervene each and every time, thus preventing them from spreading the desired information on a serious manner, or even discredit or ridicule them Soviet era had the Ministry of Defense work on really daring projects that would give soldiers superhuman abilities. During these trials, a team of researchers encountered a signal coming from intelligent life forms from outside of the Earth. The story became known after the man in charge of this top-secret program revealed numerous details to the Russian media. Backing up his claims, Alexey Savin, member of the Natural Sciences Academy, and current lieutenant-general in reserve, has stepped forward and shared his knowledge regarding a group of Russian scientists from the late 80s who could constantly get in touch with representatives of an intelligent species of extraterrestrials.

general-vasily-yeremenko

However, the first man to take action by revealing these shocking facts to the press was Vasily Yeremenco, a now-retired major-general who claims to have used special military technology to retrieve alien intelligence from UFOs encounters. He admits that information originating from these otherworldly sources was abundant at that point in time, and it helped the Russians shape the future of their country. In fact, his goals were to suppress any conflicts that would arise between Russia and other alien civilizations. In 1984, the KGB was involved in an ample study documenting unexplained phenomenon near the area of Vladimirovska, a place that hasn’t been randomly picked because most UFO encounters were known to be drawn by dangerous spots where weapons of mass destructions were deployed.

He states that, because of this, the KGB didn’t have to pursue UFOs anymore. They have instead learned how to summon them on their grounds. “We can say that we learned to summon UFOs in Vladimirovska,” Savin said in a news report. “To do this, we dramatically increased the number of military flights and movement of the equipment. If the intensity on our side increased, UFOs appeared with the probability of one hundred percent.” General Vasily Yeremenko

The trials were subdued after about half a year of constant UFO summoning. The Russians concluded that science, at least back then, was unable to make a difference between a UFO and a conventional aircraft. At the best, and because of the constant threat of unfinished war, the otherworldly crafts would be confused with new technology tested by either the US or Japan. Yaremenko discovered that on his own ‘comrades’. “The UFO topic today is ubiquitous,” he said in a press release after his retirement. “Precisely because of its scandalous nature, serious scientists are not willing to identify their position on this issue. Pilots often see such objects, but they have a veto on this topic, so do astronauts. In confidential conversations they talk about their experiences meeting with UFOs, but they are afraid to speak publicly about this.” In his acceptance, the UFO topic shouldn’t be taken lightly because it represents a matter of global security.

He further revealed a classified technique used by the KGB to control the human brain by triggering superhuman abilities through it. Proof of the existence and continuity of this project stands DARPA, with its daring plan to create ‘future soldiers’ using futuristic chips implanted inside the brain. “In the process of research, we came to the conclusion that a human was an energy and information system that receives information from outside. This is precisely why a human can manifest paranormal abilities,” Savin revealed.

Besides the military personnel and scientific crew, a team of woman was assembled to carry out some of the crucial tasks. Furthermore, Savin explained how they had achieved a way to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations using the functions of the human brain that acted as a radio beacon through space, thus allowing the Russians to receive extraterrestrial messages. “We wanted to make a contact with representatives of other civilizations. And we did it. We had to tune energy-contour of the human brain to a particular wave, like a radio.”

No chemicals or drugs were used on subjects during testing, and the scientists also came up with a way to tell if individuals were making progress or just hallucinating. What happened next was astounding. Six individuals were privileged to actually touch extraterrestrial beings and one member of the team was even granted access to one of their spaceships.

Alien Planet

The aliens did give away some information about the structure of their society, but left out important parts like any military details. They supposedly left knowledge of medical procedures that could cure most diseases. Savin told journalists that the human race is so precariously evolved that the aliens would easily compare us to infants. According to him, “our civilization is too young to be of interest to them as a subject for a dialogue. Because we are also a part of the universe, we may harm ourselves and other civilizations with our foolish actions, so they are looking out for us. ”

In 1993, politics came in the way, the whole project was abandoned and the team disbanded, but the brain manipulation method remained in use at the Gagarin Academy, where a core team of scientist continued to develop and improve the scheme, and it’s no secret anymore that these techniques kept secret by the Russian military are used by the Americans as well.

“Four years ago we tried to repeat the experiment, and we were successful,”Savin said.“Brains and talented people are still present in the defense industry. Why hide something from people? Instead, they need to prepare for new challenges.”

If the aliens come in peace and only want to monitor us for our own good, why is Savin considering that we should be taking this matter seriously, more like a possible global threat, and less like our guardian angels?

The Secret KGB UFO Files

secretkgbfiles

Documentary with Roger Moore and George Filer

For five decades, American agencies have stockpiled information on UFOs. So did their counterparts behind the iron curtain. Soldiers, scientists and spies all paint a disturbing picture of the KGB’s secret campaign. The UFO encounter that almost sparked a nuclear war. The pair of MiG fighters that tried to shoot down a UFO – both jets blown out of the sky! Stunning proof that the Soviets recovered something not from this earth! Amazing film footage smuggled out of Russia. This exclusive investigation into one of the most compelling events of our time is hosted by Roger Moore. The producer paid $100,000 to a KGB general to obtain much of the footage for the film.. Some of the best gun camera film was not used. Video

3,538 Planets Found

Scientists at a Kepler science conference Monday said they have found 833 new candidate planets with the space telescope, bringing the total of planets they’ve spotted to 3,538, but most aren’t candidates for life. Scientists now estimate billions of earth like planets in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Navy Destroyer’s Close Encounter in the Bering Sea

Bering Sea, Near Alaska I was aboard the USS Williamson (Destroyer) in March 1943 during WWII. The weather was clear with calm seas. At the time of the sighting, we were patrolling the Bering Sea north of the Alaskan Peninsula, bearing north at about 20 knots on a dark night was very black. I was on watch at the starboard 20mm gun, on the galley deck. It was. My gun turret was above the deck house and there were no obstructions hindering my field of vision, allowing me to have a clear 360 degree view of the sea around the ship around 2300 hours. There were four of us together at the starboard gun (I can get crew names and captain’s name). The attention of both port and starboard gun crews was drawn to a row of red lights off the port side, traveling parallel to and slightly forward of the bow.

I did not see the lights when they first approached so do not know the direction from which they came, or if they came out of the sea. There were at least eight lights in a row, evenly spaced, canted at about 15 degrees to horizontal. I would estimate the lights were no more than 100 yards from the ship. The lights held their relative position to one another throughout the sighting, and appeared to be about 10 feet apart. I would say that the light closest to the water (the lights were canted diagonal to horizontal at approximately 15 degrees) appeared to be about 30 feet above the water. I estimate that it would require a cantaloupe held at arm’s length to cover a single light. I could not see a structure associated with the lights as there was nothing but blackness between the lights. The lights were a very deep red and did not cast a beam. The lights moved parallel to our ship, holding their position relative to the ship throughout the entire sighting. The lights continued to pace the ship as I watched. This continued for at least one hour. I was relieved from watch at 2400. When I went below the lights were still visible. I was too tired to stay on deck and went below to sleep. The next day, the midnight gun crew said that the captain turned the ship and “tried” to chase the lights. I don’t know the outcome of this maneuver. I don’t know what the circumstances were when the lights disappeared. But I do know that I have not seen anything like this before or since.

Anomalies Found in Background Photo of Moon

moondan

In looking at Filer Files # 36, I saw in the Ohio Photo “Anomaly Found in Background of Photo of Moon”. While I was in Maryland a couple of weeks ago, I was taking pictures of the moon and these similar anomalies showed up in my photos.

I thought that you might comment.

Love and Light, Thanks to Dan

Note: A series of photos show various objects near the moon. Sometimes there is one or two objects like those above. They could be light colored birds or UFOs.

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Blinking Orb

Kirkland — I was getting into my vehicle to go to work and looked up at the sky on August 30, 2016, at 4:30 am. The light first seemed to be an airplane but it didn’t move. I also noticed that this star was blinking so I took out my cell phone to take a picture. I thought it was a planet but planets don’t change colors and was pretty big for a start.
It was blinking, seemed close but it was right below Orion at the eastern horizon. It changed colors from green and then orange-red in this pattern over and over again, not moving but stationary in the sky.
During the observation, I took a video and pictures of the blinking circle. It seems awfully close

Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Blinking Lights

Redwood Valley — Four odd stars came up over the hills on September 9, 2016, at 4 AM. When looking at the one that seemed to be a different colored star, it moved side to side. It also had several lights almost like a satellite. It hovered and would move like a helicopter or drone. This lasted all night. The other ones came up over mountain together but had moved same as the first. I can still see the last one that was brightest after sun can up and is still there with blinking lights. One stayed bright that’s still visible.

Florida Disc

Clearwater — This is a huge phenomenon that I’m extremely interested in, since I too have had a couple of UFO sightings. My wife was headed west on Court Street on August 24th, 2016. She called me to tell me she was taking a picture of the beautiful sunset and megaphone pointing to the sky. So while we’re on the phone, I heard her exclaim. “Nick!! I got a picture of an alien!!” The interval between the first picture and second was 16 seconds apart. She came home and we reviewed the pictures. She said it was actually moving as a single object in a northwesterly direction. She described it as if the sky was blowing a bubble and this UFO appeared. She also stated it was blurry, even in plain sight. I read that UFOs are caught during sunrise and sunset due to the refraction of light and their cloaking technology. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Circular Lights

Pittsfield — We found circular lights in several sunset pictures that we took on August 27, 2016.

We did not see them as we took the pictures, but only as we reviewed them.

Note: The lights resemble “flying saucers,” but are probably not real and are due to reflection. However, I am not sure what would cause the reflections. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website

Indiana Cylinder

Osceola – There was a lightning storm over our house on August 28, 2016. I was out in the yard trying to video lightning when I noticed an extremely fast flying object cross the screen.
I have been having trouble sending the video to people. It seems to be sent at a lower pixel quality. I have posted the video on Utube under; UFO. I used my name and it has 130 hits so for.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Portal

Everett – I was watching several surveillance craft flying around from my back porch on September 2, 2016. Allot of these have been in my area lately. I can describe it as a portal like light that shows up in frame. Then a slight beam of light goes through it.

Then an object shoots down along the same path as beam and portal like light down to what I expect to be the ground somewhere! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nebraska Lights

Hastings – I was on a Ferris wheel at our county fair on July 23, 2016.

I took a picture for Snapchat and only noticed the lights in the photo after I had taken it.

When I looked back out into the sky, the lights were gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Orb

Manahawkin — I saw a dark odd shaped object hovering in the sky on September 2, 2016. I ran into my house to get my phone and when I returned the object was still there. I took some pictures then started video.

The object started to move slowly to the southwest. In less than two minutes the object was out of view low on the horizon and behind a house. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mantua — Triangular UFO hovered over route 45 in NJ and turned on its side over the road and then flew sideways towards Philadelphia at 10 mph. I have never encountered any aircraft like this in my life. It made no noise and it seemed to have multicolored lights rotating inside one light. If anyone else witnessed this at 9:40 pm on June 10, 2016, please report it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Mexico Orb

Vaughn — We first spotted the orb 30 miles south of Phoenix on September 1, 2016 traveling south to Roswell. The orb stayed on our left N NW for 45 minutes. Then it began to move overhead. So we stopped and started taking pictures. At that point it seemed to stop moving. We began back on the road and it started moving again. We drove onto Vaughn NM and stopped at last store. I went inside and asked the man working to see it. He and his wife and several others saw the orb. As we travelled on to Roswell we could see it as it became star-like in the distance. We have many pictures and video. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Streak

Rochester – An object was moving very slowly and I noticed an odd “cloud” or something in the early morning sky on August 4, 2016. I assumed it was a jet and looked a few seconds later and it hadn’t move very far.
This streak or cloud took my eye because of its color and the fact that it seemed to move so slowly. There was just something odd about it so I took a few shots. I put the shots on my computer and found no plane. It looks human-made but would very much like to know what it is. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Light

ohio

Akron — My co-worker was taking a photo of the full moon in the parking lot of a retail store on August 17th, 2016. About 10 PM while we were working on an overnight job. He took one photo of the moon and noticed a faint light above it. The light grew brighter and moved to the right.

He took another photo of the brighter light then two more lights appeared above the moon.

He took another photo of the three lights and the lights disappeared. I have not posted the first photo of the faint light as of yet. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website

Oregon Light

Portland — A man saw a white ball of light spinning in the sky on August 30, 2916. The light stayed stationary for about five minutes. The light appeared to change shape. Then the light got brighter, smaller and appeared to eject another sphere of energy. The light was seen over the West Hills of Portland on the east side of the Willamette River. Skies were cloudy at the time of sighting. The witness took several photos.

Note: Apparently the witness has seen this same light on a previous night. Skies were not completely cloudy according to observations at Portland Airport. There were a few clouds measured at 5,000 feet and 9,000 feet. There were also a few clouds at 25,000 feet. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Pennsylvania UFO

Philadelphia — I saw a ufo over my house as I looked out my bedroom window on September 3, 2016, It lasted for 3 minutes and 45 seconds but felt like it was 3 hours in time that went by I was frozen in place I am not joking I seen something and it was not human made

Worldwide UFOs

Argentina Lights

Desvio Arijon — So it was that we received a message from Leandro Castro on Facebook, detailing the sighting of an object that he was also able to photograph on February 9, 2016.

“I’m Leandro Castro; in the Province of Santa Fe where you can see something flying over the Coronda River. It was spectacular on account of its lights and how close it was! We took some photos with our cell phones and they cannot be seen clearly. I was able to pull out a little digital camera and take two shots; just as the battery turned off…It almost seemed deliberate. The photo shows a disk with three pairs of lights and some smaller ones among the larger lights. The lights define the shape!” Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJWebsite

Australia Water Object

Coffs Harbor — Taking pictures of Solitaire Islands, I see this amazing object breaking the surface in the image.

I didn’t see it with my eyes only after looking at the pictures of the whitewater visible around the object. It looks to have a periscope and hollow underneath. It is very strange and definitely not photo shopped. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Lights

Toronto,Ontario — I attended the Black Sabbath Concert at the Molson Amphitheatre on August 29, 2016. I had a clear view of the sky looking southwest.

Within minutes I looked to the southern sky and saw this bizarre coloured ‘red’ light never seen before in it’s colour tone. I watched it approach heading straight north where I stood waiting to see if it would go over. It then just stopped a quarter mile away and remained stationary for about four- five minutes. I took out my camera and took two still shots at 9:22 pm. I told my son to look over there, he watched and said watch the show

He seemed embarrassed amongst the crowd to talk UFO’s. After five minutes it flew quite fast west in a straight flight. Stopped and returned. Later it moved back towards the south Lake Ontario at well over 100 MPH. Thanks to Paul Shishis video at Video

Denmark Orbs

Viborg — I was outside my apartment having a cigarette with my neighbor and her friend when the event took place. It was a very peaceful evening, good weather, scattered clouds, which made it an ideal day for looking at the stars.
I caught a fast moving object out of the corner of my eye.
Originally I thought this object was military aircraft, as NATO is doing aircraft exercises in the area with no sound.
The object(s) in question is composed of a V-shaped formation, several (9-1) orbs or star-like balls of light. It was moving at tremendous speeds estimated at Mach 5-10, depending on 50,000 to 100,000 feet. This formation had a solid V-shape, however, two other objects orbited around the solid formation in a very unnatural manner. The main formation moved in a straight line of flight, with the orbiting objects following it the entire way. I observed NO from this object.
My feelings during this event were sheer disbelieve and amazement. I lost sight of the object when it went behind the clouds. I have observed seven UFOs since moving to Denmark. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Germany Light

Heilbronn.Baden-Werttembe — I was walking home when I saw this object 300 to 500 feet over my head with a beam in the middle and a light in the center of the beam. It was flipping around and the light was blinking in the middle. It stopped as if it knew I was looking at it.

The light stayed over my head and others also saw this UFO such as a man on a bicycle. I watched for over ten minutes before it flew up and away. I saw another black spear going west at 500 feet above this white silver round object with a tube structure going across the middle with a blinking light dead center no sound. Planes were flying nearby as Stuttgart Airport is 20 minutes away. This has been the fifth UFO I’ve seen since 2011 in Germany. I think I was abducted in Orlando, Florida in 1971 as a child. I’m a UFO Hunter! Our Brothers and Sisters are watching us always. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Zealand Glowing Ball

Coromande — I always look skywards as I did on the night of September 1, 2016. The birds were saying goodnight and an odd car would pass every 1/2 hour as the town I live in is so small. This time as I walked outside I noticed this very big bright glowing ball. It was huge compared with the stars, so I ran and got my camcorder and filmed it for 17 minutes. The mother ship was opening a platform and smaller craft were taking off at all angles plus also exiting from below. There were definitely six smaller craft, there was also a red orb beneath which one of the smaller ships attached itself to. The distance to the ships was about two miles away. This was amazing footage; but when I downloaded this to my laptop in four different places I lost some. I sent the video to family and friends. However nobody received it, as somebody had hacked into it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Portugal Lights

Monchique — On September 3, 2016, there was a fire in Serra de Monchique and we could see it from our house. We took pictures of the fire and suddenly we saw this very strange line in the sky. The orbs were there last week, because I was constantly zooming in with my camera on the fire and could not see anything else.
The only similar I found on internet was in 2014 strange zigzag lines above Hawaii. Last week I saw two very bright orbs above the Serra de Monchique, moving very slowly. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Switzerland Triangle

Neuchatel – I was sitting together with my wife in the living room of my apartment at Rue de la Cote in March 2011. My wife sat under a side window of the room from where you can see the Rue Auguste Bachelin.

It was already dark outside and there was little traffic. We were watching TV and I saw a huge triangle with three lights under each corner. It was 15-20 meters wide and maybe 1, 5 meters high. The edges were rounded and there were no windows or anything to see.
The object was flying/hovering maybe 10 meters or lower going east following the street. From my window I was able to see it around 10-20 seconds. The speed was very low and seemed to me like it was searching for something. It was not a helicopter. I am a FPV Drone Pilot myself and I know how a helicopter flies and they make a lot of noise when flying so low. Surface was black matte and it looked exactly like the Belgium UFO Wave” from 1989 but without the red light in the middle. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Grey Dot

Camberley – I had a barbecue with friends on August 28, 2016 and was following some floating embers when I noticed a small grey dot in the sky passing over a passenger jet aircraft. It was difficult to focus on because it was just so high, and travelled in a dead straight line travelling 20 times faster than the plane. It was grey with a dull reflected light and ten times smaller than the aircraft but substantially higher.

I would assume they were similar in size. It’s possible it was a satellite but it did not shine as they do when they reflect the sun, Thanks to MUFON CMS

Dark Matter Just Got Murkier

Dark Matter Just Got Murkier

By Don Lincoln, Senior Scientist, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory; Adjunct Professor of Physics, University of Notre Dame

What is dark matter? New detector results have left physicists in the dark.

Don Lincoln is a senior scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermilab, America's largest Large Hadron Collider research institution. He also writes about science for the public, including his recent "The Large Hadron Collider: The Extraordinary Story of the Higgs Boson and Other Things That Will Blow Your Mind" (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2014). You can follow him onFacebook. Lincoln contributed this article to Live Science's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

They say that love makes the world go around and that may well be true. But when you look at things on a much larger scale — say the size of galaxies — love just isn't enough. And, for that matter, neither are the stars of the galaxies themselves. In fact, what makes galaxies go around is a kind of matter that has never been directly observed. That undiscovered "stuff" is called dark matter, and an amazing new measurement was recently announced that is causing the scientific world to rethink long-held thoughts.

The most recent contribution to our knowledge of dark matter was made by the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) collaboration. LUX is a vessel consisting of a third of a ton of liquid xenon and it is the most powerful dark-matter detector ever constructed. Located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), this dark-matter laboratory sits nearly a mile under the Black Hills, near Lead, South Dakota. It is designed to occasionally detect the vaporous wind of dark matter that is thought to waft through the solar system. [6 Cool Underground Science Labs]

And the thing is, it didn't detect anything. That non-discovery is what's causing physicists to rethink how they think about dark matter.

Holding up galaxies

Dark matter is an answer to a nearly century-old problem. In the early 1930s, shortly after astronomers realized that the universe consisted of countless galaxies, scientists turned their attention to understanding the dynamics of how stars orbited within the galaxies — essentially, how galaxies rotate. Dutch astronomer Jan Oort applied Newton's laws of motion and gravity to the observed matter in our own Milky Way and found that our galaxy rotated faster than he had calculated. It appeared that the Milky Way had twice the mass that astronomers had estimated. Of course, this was in an era in which precise galactic astronomy was coming into existence and a disagreement between calculation and measurement of only a factor of two was considered excellent agreement.

A violent collision of galaxy clusters formed the Abell 520 galaxy cluster. False-color maps superimposed on the image reveal the highest concentration of mass in the cluster (blue), which scientists say is dominated by dark matter.

However, shortly after Oort's measurement, Bulgarian-Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky was studying the Coma Cluster, a large group of more than a thousand galaxies that were bound together by their mutual gravity in an enormous structure. When he measured the velocity of the galaxies, he found that they, too, were moving far too fast for gravity's gentle tug to hold them together. By all rights, the cluster should have torn itself apart. But it didn't. He calculated that the cluster held 400 times more matter than could be seen by ordinary telescopes. Modern measurements have reduced that number, but the discrepancy still is thought to be a factor of 100. Zwicky proposed that there was a type of unseen matter holding together the cluster that he called "dunkle Materie," or dark matter. [TED-Ex Talk: How Does Dark Matter Explain a Star's Speed?]

In the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin was trying to find a noncontroversial topic to study when she turned her attention to the rotation curves of galaxies. This is a measure of the orbital speed of stars in galaxies as a function of their distance from the center. She found that the measurements agreed with predictions very well at the center of the galaxy and even approaching the periphery. But, in the very outskirts of the galaxy, stars were orbiting far faster than could be accommodated by the known laws of physics and the observed matter. It looked like Zwicky's dark matter might be showing up in the interiors of galaxies as well. (Clearly, Rubin failed epically in her attempt to find a noncontroversial topic.)

Over the decades, several ideas have been proposed to explain an extensive array of astronomical mysteries, from the possibility that Newton's laws of motion might not apply when accelerations become small, to the idea that both Newton and Einstein were wrong aboutgravity. These hypotheses have not survived rigorous testing. Another idea was that perhaps there exist types of matter in the universe that do not emit electromagnetic energy … this was Zwicky's dark matter.

But, even here, there were many possibilities. The most plausible option was that the universe was home to a menagerie of black holes, brown dwarfs, rogue planets and other dark objects that consisted of the same kind of ordinary matter that makes up the visible component of the universe. These objects are massive and compact and cold enough that they don’t emit light like stars. Some objects like these were found, but not enough to solve the mystery. And so, astronomical surveys in the 1990s completely ruled out this idea, too. Taking a page from Sherlock Holmes in “The Sign of Four,” in which he said, “When you have ruled out the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth,” scientists have been forced to conclude that a new form of invisible dark matter permeates the universe. Perhaps even more surprising, there appear to be five times more dark matter than ordinary matter.

The properties of dark matter

We have never directly observed dark matter, but we know a great deal about what it must be: It must be massive (because it affects the rotation of galaxies); it must be electrically neutral (because we can't see it); it must be different from ordinary matter (because we see no evidence for it interacting with matter in the usual ways); and it must be stable (because it has existed since the dawn of the universe). These properties are unequivocal.

However, we don't know exactly what it is. In the most popular generic theory, the dark-matter particle is called a WIMP, for weakly interacting massive particle. WIMPs are kind of like heavy neutrons (but definitely not neutrons), with a mass of 10 to 100 times heavier than a proton. They were created in great quantities during the Big Bang and a small relic remainder persists to this day.

When cosmologists add the WIMP idea to their ideas of the Big Bang, they can calculate how it would interact. They find that in the earliest stages of the universe, WIMPs were a dominant form of matter, but, as the universe expands and cools and the interaction rate drops to zero, the relic amount of WIMPs is about five times as massive as ordinary matter. Combined with the fact that the WIMP idea can also explain a pressing theoretical mystery of why the Higgs boson particle has such a small mass, scientists call this the "WIMP miracle," in view of the fact that the WIMP idea seems to answer so many questions.

A dark non-discovery

So this brings us back to the LUX experiment. It is simply the latest and most powerful experiment designed to detect WIMPs. The idea is that the detector will sit underground for a long time, say a year or more, and a rare WIMP will bump into a xenon atom and be detected. (The detector is buried underground to protect it from cosmic rays, which would bump into xenon atoms and fake a dark matter detection. Being half a mile or a mile underground stops nearly all cosmic rays.)

The above volume, part of the Large Underground Xenon collaboration, will be filled with liquid xenon and any interaction with the xenon can be detected, possibly revealing the identify of dark matter.

On Aug. 27, the LUX researchers announced their results. They saw no evidence for dark-matter WIMPs.

So that's not actually that surprising. There have been dozens of experiments that have looked for dark matter and found nothing. In this sense, LUX has joined a venerable group. But LUX is also far more capable. It was expected to have a better shot at finding WIMPs than any other apparatus.

But it didn't.

So does that mean that the WIMP idea is dead? No, not really. Dark matter detectors are optimized to be most sensitive to certain masses, kind of like how a particular microphone might pick up tenor voices better than they hear soprano or bass ones. LUX was optimized to find a WIMP with a mass of a few tens of times heavier than a proton. In fact, it ruled out a WIMP having a mass 50 times of a proton with impressive rejection. However, LUX doesn't do so well at detecting WIMPs with a mass below 10 times that of a proton. And, if WIMPs exist and have a mass of 1,000 times heavier than a proton, this is also not LUX's optimum range for investigation. So there remains a range of masses where a WIMP might exist.

Axions, dark life and dark charge

Even so, WIMPs were simply the most popular idea for dark matter. There are other hypotheses. One hypothesis points to a particle called a sterile neutrino, which is a cousin of the more familiar neutrino generated in nuclear reactions. In fact, neutrinos from the biggest nearby nuclear reactor (the sun) are constantly barraging the Earth. Unlike regular neutrinos, which are ultralight and interact via the weak nuclear force, sterile neutrinos are heavy and don't experience the weak force. It is the heavy mass and non-interacting qualities that make the sterile neutrino an ideal dark-matter candidate.

Another possible dark-matter particle, the axion, was proposed in 1977 as a way to ensure that the strong nuclear force treated matter and antimatter on equal footing (so as agree with observations). The axion is a very light, but still massive, hypothetical particle. The LUX detector is not designed to study axions.

Then, of course, there is the even more creative hypothesis, which suggests that dark matter isn't a single, neutral, non-interacting particle. After all, ordinary matter is pretty complicated. At the quantum scale, we have quarks and leptons and four forces. At the macro scale, we have you and me and sugar and stars and volcanoes and all the various ways they interact. Ordinary matter has all sorts of interactions and constituents. Why not dark matter? [7 Strange Facts About Quarks]

Under this hypothesis, dark matter might have a "dark charge," or dark matter's form of electrical charge. In the same way that dark matter doesn't experience dark charge, maybe ordinary matter doesn't experience dark charge. This dark charge would interact with dark photons, or the dark twins of ordinary light particles.

And, even more daring, perhaps dark matter experiences many forces and there is an entire complex dark sector, with dark atoms and dark molecules and perhaps even dark life. We are able to set constraints on these possible dark interactions; for instance, we know enough to rule out dark stars and planets, but dark asteroids are possible. Again, LUX is silent on these new ideas.

It's not fair to say that the LUX measurement leads to a crisis in particle physics and cosmology. But it certainly gives scientists pause and suggests that maybe we should take another look at this WIMP thing. Maybe other ideas need to be revisited. On the other hand, scientists who want to continue to pursue the WIMP idea still have something to look forward to as technology advances. LUX uses a third of a ton of liquid xenon. In 10 or 15 years, scientists are planning to build detectors that might contain 100 tons, providing even more chances of capturing that rare WIMP interaction. These are heady times to be a dark-matter scientist.

But, in the end, we still don't know. We just know that the capabilities of LUX are good enough that maybe it's time to broaden our thinking. In the words of the rock band Buffalo Springfield, "There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear..."

Visit to 'Armageddon Asteroid' Could Save Future Earth from Impact

Visit to 'Armageddon Asteroid' Could Save Future Earth from Impact

By Nola Taylor Redd, Space.com Contributor

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The asteroid-sample-return mission that launched into space yesterday (Sept. 8) may help protect Earth from future life-threatening impacts by rogue space rocks.

The target of the OSIRIS-REx mission is an asteroid known as Bennu, which circles the sun just inside the orbit of Mars (occasionally crossing Earth's orbital path). Although Bennu is unlikely to collide with the planet, understanding its composition could help scientists figure out how to deflect other rocky bodies that may be on a crash course with Earth.

"I think that's the whole reason we have missions like OSIRIS-REx — to go out and see what we really know about asteroids," Lindley Johnson, director of NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office, said at a news conference Wednesday (Sept. 7). [NASA's Mission to Asteroid Bennu: OSIRIS-REx Complete Coverage]

Defending Earth

After the sun formed, leftover dust and rock circled the newborn star in a disk. The material smashed together, building planetary embryos. Some bits of debris hurled down on the young planets, while some material was cast out of the solar system forever. Over time, the fiery rain slowed as the population of dust and rock dwindled.

As life evolved on Earth, bits of remaining debris occasionally crashed down — at times, wiping out plants and animal species. While most of the largest rocks have already collided with planets or have left the solar system, enough leftover material remains to pepper our planet.

"Over a hundred tons of material fall to Earth every day," Johnson said.

Most of that is dust, but occasionally, a solid chunk of rock makes it to the ground (a meteorite). Those meteorites can be chunks that have broken off of asteroids, but they also may be debris that was once part of a planet or the moon and was blown off in an early collision. For example, Earth is covered in meteorites that were once part of the moon and Mars — places humans have been able to study up close with various probes, rovers and (in the case of the moon) human missions.

But asteroids are more challenging. The sample of Bennu that scientists are aiming to return in the OSIRIS-REx mission will help scientists better understand the composition of other asteroids and space debris if they were to prove threatening.

During the OSIRIS-REx mission, scientists also will study how the sun affects the orbital paths of small rocky bodies. As sunlight strikes a rotating asteroid, the radiating heat provides a tiny thrust that can change the orbit of the rock — a process known as the Yarkovsky effect.

"We can't just determine where an asteroid is going to go just by orbital dynamics," said Alex Young, a heliophysics scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "We have to account for this Yarkovsky effect."

Observing how the sun ever so slightly redirects Bennu will help scientists to improve their models of other asteroids and their potential to impact Earth.

On top of all that, guiding OSIRIS-REx into orbit around Bennu will help NASA learn more about manipulating a spacecraft around small bodies.

"NASA's gotten very skilled at going to Mars, Saturn, through multibody systems," said NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan. But smaller objects are different, and maneuvering OSIRIS-REx is a step toward landing humans on asteroids and the moons of Mars, she said.

Shifting orbits

NASA is sending a probe to the asteroid Bennu to collect samples from the space rock and return them to Earth. See how NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission to collect samples of the asteroid 1999 RQ36 will happen in this Space.com infographic.

Debris from the early solar system still floats between the planets. While most of the largest objects have been identified, NASA estimates that only half of the rocks the size of Bennu have been spotted.

"We've got to find them first before we can do anything about them," Johnson said.

For that, planetary defense researchers turn to NASA's NEOWISE, a repurposed telescope mission to identify near-Earth objects. The instrument has helped scientists to build a catalog of rocks near the planet, some passing closer than satellites.

Observation isn't the only tool for planetary defense. In partnership with the European Space Agency, NASA is working on the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). The two agencies plan to send a spacecraft to rendezvous with an asteroid and its moon. By deliberately crashing into the tiny moonlet, DART will shift its course by "a fraction of a percent"according to NASA. The mission will test the ability of the space agencies to deflect an asteroid years before it collides with Earth.

Johnson described DART as "a kinetic impactor that would impact the moon of Didymos, which we affectionately call Didymoon."

Another upcoming project is planning to bring a boulder-size asteroid sample to the moon, where astronauts can remove samples to carry back to Earth. After traveling to an asteroid and selecting a hunk to take home, the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) will attempt to change the path of the asteroid by using its mass as what Johnson called "a natural tug rope."

"Gravity will pull the asteroid off its natural orbit," he said.

Asteroid Basics:

Asteroids are fascinating for lots of reasons. They contain a variety of valuable resources and slam into our planet on a regular basis, occasionally snuffing out most of Earth's lifeforms. How much do you know about space rocks?

Of course, NASA doesn't have a mission ready to deflect incoming danger. Johnson told Space.com that it will take somewhere from five to 10 years to launch a mission that will effectively deflect a specific threat.

Earth-threatening asteroids aren't prolific in the solar system. Johnson said that serious impacts that might be worth deflecting happen only about once every couple of centuries.

"It's not something I worry about a lot on a regular basis," he said.

But that doesn't mean we should become complacent.

"Since we don't know everything that's out there, it's something that could happen almost any day," he said.

He suggested that the best way to avert disaster is to improve the ability to identify potentially hazardous objects. The sooner large, dangerous objects are identified, the more time humans on Earth have to take the necessary steps.

"We need to improve our capabilities to detect and find them further out in space so we have time to prepare," he said.
