The Key to Dinosaur Extinction Might Be Hidden on the Moon

The Key to Dinosaur Extinction Might Be Hidden on the Moon

It was the end of the world as they knew it.

Jacqueline Rons

The enigma has haunted humanity since the first giant bone was found poking from the ground: How the hell did the dinosaurs just die? Scientists are hoping the answer lies within the moon’s Schrödinger Basin, which has a lot to tell us about what happens when gigantic asteroids hit heavenly spheres.

Sixty-five million years ago, Chicxulub — we’re not sure whether to call it an asteroid or comet — struck our planet, setting off a catastrophic series of events that ultimately killed off nearly all the dinosaurs. It left a crater 110 miles across, but it’s hard to see, buried under a kilometer of sediment deposited since then by geological and hydrological processes.

Not so on the moon, where the lack of flowing water means asteroid impacts stay intact over time. “If one wants to imagine how the Chicxulub crater looked soon after impact, one only needs to peer at the Schrödinger basin on the Moon,” says David Kring of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in a release.

The moon's Schrödinger basin. According to lunar convention, craters more than 186 miles across are called basins.

New research led by Kring and published in Nature Communications sheds new insight on the Schrödinger event on the moon and its implications for Earth’s own deep history.

About 3.8 billion years ago, when the Schrödinger impactor struck the moon, it excavated a hole maybe 20 miles deep, ejecting rock and magma in a sheet that rose 12 miles above the lunar surface before collapsing, leaving a crater 200 miles across, with an internal ring of jagged mountain peaks 1.5 miles high. This would have all gone down in less than an hour.

Earth’s own impact event would have looked similar, the research suggests, although it would have occurred even more quickly because of the stronger gravity. Imagine watching the event from a safe distance — the deep hole in the planet, the rising tide of red-hot molten rock, the sudden formation of a ring of towering mountains. That is some straight up Mordor shit.

The dinosaurs would not have all died right away, although those within several hundred miles of the impact site certainly would have been toast. The immediate aftermath was earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis. Molten rock would have rained down on the planet, at great distances from the impact sites, causing enormous forest fires.

The dust from the event would have plunged the planet into darkness that might have lasted six months, and disrupted photosynthesis for a year, dramatically decreasing global temperatures, perhaps freezing some parts of the planet solid. Those who survived all of this would still contend with new toxic chemicals in the air and rain. And when the freeze lifted, there was probably a period of global warming that continued for centuries, ultimately rising temperatures well above what they were before the impact.

When all was said and done, maybe three quarters of all species on Earth were gone forever. And among the dinosaurs, only birds survived. (Perhaps, according to one recent theory, because they ate seeds when all the plants had died.)

It was the end for the enormous and awe-inspiring creatures that come to mind when we think of dinosaurs, but it was also a beginning for those survivors that would go on to adapt to the new conditions and inherit the Earth, including our very own distant ancestors.

The Universe is Far Bigger Than We Thought, and It Has 10x More Galaxies

The Universe is Far Bigger Than We Thought, and It Has 10x More Galaxies

NASA/ESA

IN BRIEF

It turns out the observable universe has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid 1990s Hubble Deep Field images count of about 100 to 200 billion.
The development of more advanced space telescopes in the future could unveil even more of the observable universe.

THE EXPANDED UNIVERSE

It turns out, what we call the observable universe — the part visible within our cosmological horizon, A.K.A. the final frontier — has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid 1990s Hubble Deep Field images count of about 100 to 200 billion.

Using collected data from various deep space images from the Hubble Space Telescope and other sources, an international team of scientists led by Christopher Conselice from the University of Nottingham, UK, created a 3D map of the known universe. Mathematical models were used to calculate for galaxies current telescopes cannot yet observe. These showed that, to make sense of the numbers and the maps, about 90% of galaxies are far, far away and too faint to be seen clearly.

The map recreates, as accurately as possible, different times in the universe’s history as far back as 13 billion years in its past. Accordingly, when the universe was several billion years younger than today, it contained 10 more galaxies per unit volume. Galaxies decrease in number (and increase in size) as the billion years go by. “This gives us a verification of the so-called top-down formation of structure in the universe,” Conselice explains.

This helps answer Olbers’ Paradox (why the night sky remains dark, despite the many stars). The myriad of stars within the billions of galaxies invisible to the human eye because ofredshifting of light, the universe’s dynamic nature, and intergalactic dust and gas absorbing light. This keeps the night sky mostly dark — keeping the night sky mostly dark.

BIGGER SPACE FOR LIFE

“It boggles the mind that over 90% of the galaxies in the universe have yet to be studied. Who knows what interesting properties we will find when we observe these galaxies with the next generation of telescopes,” explains Conselice about the far-reaching implications of the new results.

The development of more advanced space telescopes in the future, beginning with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2018, would certainly help us see the observable universe clearly. Who knows what remains lurking just by that expanded frontier of space.

In any case, a larger known universe means an even wider space to accommodate the search for possible extraterrestrial life. Why not? Every time we think that we understand more of it, the universe seems to always surprise us with more.

Scientists Reviewing Data from Viking Landings for Signs of Life NASA

Scientists Reviewing Data from Viking Landings for Signs of Life

NASA

IN BRIEF

Evidence from the Viking landers from the 1970s shows that we could have overlooked some evidence for life on the planet.
Finding any confirmation of life on Mars is very unlikely, but the ability to rake another look at promising evidence is an important backbone of science.

REVIEWING THE DATA

With all the attention Mars has been getting lately, scientists have been revisiting data from past mission to the red planet. Data from the Viking landings show evidence of of water,organic molecules, and methane. This increase in the potential signs of ancient life on Mars prompted researchers Gilbert V. Levin from Arizona State University and Patricia Ann Straat from the US National Institutes of Health to reexamine data from NASA’s 1976 Mars Viking landings.

Viking One. : NASA JPL

The researchers found traces of ambiguous chemical signals (radioactive ¹⁴CO2 isotope) in Martian soil collected in 1976 by the Viking landers. They don’t claim that the landers (whose locations were 6,500 km (4,000 miles) apart) definitively found life on Mars.

“[I]n the absence of a non-biological agent that satisfies all Viking findings, and in view of environmental evidence that Mars may well be able to support extant life, it seems prudent that the scientific community maintain biology as a viable explanation of the LR experimental results,” the researchers say, going against the widely-accepted opinion that Viking labeled release (LR) experiment on soil collected by the landers didn’t show signs biological processes.

AN UNLIKELY SCENARIO

“Even if one is not convinced that the Viking results give strong evidence for life on Mars, this paper clearly shows that the possibility must be considered. We cannot rule out the biological explanation,” said Chris McKay, NASA astrobiologist senior editor of Astrobiology that published the study.

It’s true that recent studies reveal that Mars had large swaths of water. And we believe that, ifthe circumstances for life in other planets is similar to Earth, water can point to the existence of life. Yet, given that it water on Mars disappeared some 3 billion years ago, it is highly unlikely for the 1976 Viking landings to have found extant life.

Still, the researchers remain hopeful: “Life may therefore still exist, if only in a cryptobiotic state, subject to resuscitation whenever water becomes available.”

(video) JOURNEY TO AGARTHA, AN UNDERGROUND KINGDOM

(video) JOURNEY TO AGARTHA, AN UNDERGROUND KINGDOM

The explorer Ferdynand Ossendowski wrote a book in 1922 titled Beasts, Men and Gods. In the book, Ossendowski tells of a story which was imparted to him concerning a subterranean kingdom which exists inside the earth. This kingdom was known to the Buddhists as Agharti.

While once a popular concept, in the last century little serious attention has been paid to these conjectures (with the possibly apocryphal exception of Adolf Hitler), and the theory is not supported by modern science.

The myth of "Agartha" is also known as "Shambhala", as it was known in India, the underworld realm peopled by initiates and lead by 'the Masters", Masters who are the Spiritual leaders of humanity.

An underground kingdom, or rather another complete world beneath the Earth, over which reigns the King of the World.

An anti-hell where an anti-Satan makes his subjects perfectly happy and enjoying a long lasting due to Vril energy. Let’s see the matter a little closer…

'PLANET 9' - TEN TIMES THE SIZE OF EARTH - IS ‘TWISTING’ OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, SCIENTISTS SAY

'PLANET 9' - TEN TIMES THE SIZE OF EARTH - IS ‘TWISTING’ OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, SCIENTISTS SAY

Can one mysterious planet be shaping our solar system? Scientists are currently trying to answer that question. Most people are aware that the planets included in our solar system travel in orbits that are angled in comparison to the Sun. Does anyone know what causes this?

CAN ONE MYSTERIOUS PLANET BE SHAPING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM?

One culprit may be what scientists are referring to as "Planet 9." Planet 9 is an additional planet that is believed to be a part of our solar system. It is a unique planet, presumed to be traveling 20 times farther from our Sun than Neptune, at an angle that differs 30 degrees from the other planets in our solar system. (See image below)

Another important factor to take into consideration is the actual size of Planet 9 itself. Scientists speculate that the enigmatic planet is massive, about ten times the size of Earth. A planet that large would undoubtedly have an impact on our solar system if it did exist.

WHY SO MYSTERIOUS?

If Planet 9 is real, then why hasn't it officially been confirmed? How can a planet so large remain so elusive? The answer is in the length of its orbit. Scientists estimate that the average length of time that it takes Planet 9 to orbit the Sun is about 15,000 years, making it very difficult to study. That means the research will have to be ongoing for quite some time, while scientists keep an eye out in space for any signs of the mysterious giant.

A study was recently concluded which focused primarily on making more discoveries about Planet 9 in our solar system. The findings from the study will be available to the public once it is published in this month's edition of the Astrophysical Journal. Planet 9 may be incredibly cryptic, but scientist is getting closer to uncovering the truth about our solar system and planets every day.

RUSSIA, NUKES, AND TIME TRAVEL

RUSSIA, NUKES, AND TIME TRAVEL

Well, let's get started with this simple line of text, everything from this point on is a theory. Nothing in this article is fact. Do not take this as fact, do not claim me as a source of proof.

THE IDEA

So with the election coming up and the conflict with Russia seeming to be more and more in the media than ever before I have been thinking about a guy I read about John Titor.

John Titor claimed to be a "time traveler", but from my understanding, he was more of a "dimension jumper". For this to be true, the multi-universe theory would have to be true. He claims he came from an alternate timeline from the year 3036 (I believe that's the date). In his time his United States became a power house who didn't have the best interest of freedom and its people.

SO A REBELLION BROKE OUT, A CIVIL WAR STARTS

From this civil war the rebels where born, they were fighting for the "people" against a corrupt government. Isn't this the age-old tale of every nation everywhere at one point and time? Well here's where it gets interesting, in 2005 the war started the fighting broke out all over the nation. Obviously, this didn't happen in our timeline. But that's what is considered a variant, something that isn't the same.

So on with the tale, the United States was part of a thing called United Federation Empire. Could this be the "UN" of our timeline? I've noticed our military bases fly the UN flag now.

HERE COMES THE END

So as the story goes in 2015 Russia steps in. It uses tactical nukes and strikes key points destroying the "evil" empire. America has to rebuild, and the rebels look at this as a helpful attack from Russia. Other things that were destroyed where the European Union, can anyone say the Brexit of our time?

China was also destroyed; Russia became the biggest trade partner of the New America.

COULD THIS BE HAPPENING NOW?

With how Putin see's Hillary could this war be in our future? No citizen is truly happy with the choices we have for our commander and chief. With Wikileaks coming into the light of mainstream media and under attack because the truth must be silenced. Could this be it? Could the people start to rebel?

With Trump's stance could we become close to Russia, just to turn on them? Could Putin get sick of Trump's arrogance and come to the people's aid?

I guess only time will tell.

Secret Space Program Whistleblower claims Humans are on Mars since 70s

Secret Space Program Whistleblower claims Humans are on Mars since 70s

A secret space program whistleblower claims Humans have been traveling to Mars for decades. Interestingly, many former NASA employees and military officials have come forward speaking about the existence of a Secretive Space Program and technology that goes far beyond what society knows.

“There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” Senator Daniel K. Inouye

Mars is the number one place in the solar system where we really want to go. Recently, during the 67th annual International Astronautical Congress ni Guadalajara Mexico, Elon Musk, the head of Tesla Motors and SpaceX announced that not only are humans going to travel to Mars in the near future, but we are going to establish a colony on the surface of the red planet where people will live.

However, all of this isn’t new according to ‘Secret Space Program whistleblower Corey Goode who released a statement detailing human activity on Mars, saying that mankind ahs been on the surface of the red planet for a long, long time.

Strangely, he isn’t the first, or only one to have said that.

Many people have stated that these ‘accusations’ aren’t new, and there are documents (WikiLeaks) which argue that human and alien collaborations have been around for quite some time.

In the statement, Corey Goode wrote:

“Mars was first visited by the Germans as far back as the 1930s, but during the 70s, US space programs were actively exploring Mars and other planets to establish bases. In 1980 the US SSP became – Solar Warden. Under Project Solar Warden vast development and colonization occurred on Mars and other planets. Goode continues, “Bases on Mars were built under the surface.”

But doesn’t that sound crazy? Well, he isn’t the only one to have said it, and if we go ahead and take a look at a statement from Senator Daniel K. Inouye, we will realize just how profound this subject really is.

“There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” (source)

The funny thing is that according to several statements, humans have had the technology for space travel for a long time:

“During my tenure in the Navy, we discovered that the Germans had been inventing space technology since the early 20th century.” —William Tompkins.

The above statement from Tompkins corroborates comments made by Corey Goode which have been tagged as ‘ludicrous’ by many.

According to Tompkins, three are declassified documents that show German space-travel technology. He even claims to have worked within extremely classified think thanks, which created weapons for aerospace companies.

In addition to Goode, a former NASA employee claimed there were secret manned missions to Mars over 20 years ago. In an interview with Coast-to-Coast AM, a woman by the name of ‘Jackie’ talked about humans on Mars, something that has been discussed among other alleged NASA employees for years; ‘…Then I saw two men in space suits – not the bulky suits we normally used, but they looked protective. They came over the horizon walking to the Viking Explorer…’

In addition to the above, a former Marine claims to have even WORKED on Mars. The retired officer only known as Captain Kaye (pseudonym), said that not only have humans made it to Mars in the past, we have developed a secret space program and flotilla that operates in space. According to the former Marine, he was posted on the red planet for years and his mission was to protect the five human colonies from indigenous life forms on Mars. According to Captain Kaye, not only did he spend years on Mars, but he also served aboard a giant space carrier for three years.

Reading the above statement and comparing it to what Senator Daniel K. Inouye makes you really wonder if all of the above is possible.

The recently published press release tells us more about these secretive programs and Mars:

Richardson, Texas, October 13, 2016 – On Tues, Oct. 11th President Barack Obama wrote an Opinion Editorial via CNN.com announcing to the citizens of the United States that, “America has set a clear goal to send humans to Mars by the 2030s…we do what’s possible before anyone else.” The problem here is that during a Nov. 2015 video interview with Gaia.com, whistleblower Corey Goode from the US Secret Space Program (SSP) said, “There are humans already on Mars, and it’s been colonized.” In Dec. 1986, Goode was recruited into SSP – UNSAP (Un-Acknowledged Special Access Programs) under Project Solar Warden. He was assigned to a research vessel in space to study the solar system from Dec. 1986 – Dec. 2007.

President Obama and the US government joins a heavy-hitter list of private-sector visionaries, such as Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg and Elon Musk (SpaceX), as they compete to make a historical dent in space. On Oct. 4th, according to Bloomberg Technology, Muilenburg said, “It’s my company that’s sending the first humans to Mars, not Musk. I’m convinced the first person to step foot on Mars will arrive there riding a Boeing rocket.”

‘Alien’ Lifeform seen moving on Mars in NEW NASA footage

‘Alien’ Lifeform seen moving on Mars in NEW NASA footage

According to a new controversial video, ‘Alien’ Lifeforms are seen moving on the surface of the red planet. Check out the video and let us know what you think.

The video which has become viral on social networks offers ‘conclusive evidence’ that there is at east primitive life on the surface of the red planet.

UFO hunters and researchers around the globe believe the recently uploaded NASA footage shows an ‘alien’ life form moving on the surface of Mars.

As the Curiosity rover drilled into Mars’ surface, something its vanity was spotted moving.

UFO hunters believe insect-like figures are moving around the drill of the rover, proving once and for all that there is life on Mars.

The mystery alien lifeforms were spotted in black and white time lapse images taken last year, on January 2915 (Mars Sol 882) as NASA’s very own Alien rover collected samples from the Martian surface.

YouTube channel Mars Alive compiled a video of the anomalous creatures seen in the time-lapse images pointing to an autonomous movement that must be the result of alien life.

While many believe there’s definitely something odd about the ‘things’ moving near the rover, skeptics dismiss the ‘discovery’ suggesting that the objects seen moving are most likely debris that moved as a result of Curiosities drill.

However, some viewers disagree and point to the facts that while one or two objects are seen moving away from the drill, one of them moves towards it at the precise moment when the drill penetrates the Martian surface.

The footage caused divided opinion among believers and disbelievers. Both sides seem what hey want to see. NASA, on the other hand, has remained silent since well, why would they comment on anything like this? There isn’t any scientific background to back up the possibility Mars can sustain life or is there?

This strange discovery will surely be incorporated into a long list of anomalies found on the Martian surface.

Whether or not Mars has life is something up for debate. However, we hope that in the near future –especially with NASA’s sights set on Mars— we will find out whether or not Mars is able to sustain life as we know it.

Remember that not long ago we thought Mars was a wasteland. This has been proven wrong ever since NASA spotted traces of liquid water flowing on the surface of Mars.

So, if there is liquid water flowing on Mars today, why couldn’t there be some weird looking life forms crawling around the red planet?

Anything is possible, right?

Onopgelost mysterie: Politieagent getuige van UFO-landing in New Mexico

Onopgelost mysterie: Politieagent getuige van UFO-landing in New Mexico

Politieagent Lonnie Zamora zag op 24 april 1964 een UFO in de lucht boven Socorro in de Amerikaanse staat New Mexico.

Het ging om een wit ovaalvormig object, zo vertelt Nick Pope, die van 1991 tot 1994 voorzitter was van de UFO-desk op het Britse ministerie van Defensie, aan Science Channel. Hij voegt toe dat het object ook beschikte over een soort landingsgestel.

Plotseling kwamen er vlammen uit de onderkant van de UFO, waarna het object opsteeg, aldus ufoloog William J. Birnes in het programma NASA’s Unexplained Files.

Geheime wapensystemen

Zamora staat voor een raadsel. Hij heeft nog nooit een object gezien dat zich zo snel voortbeweegt en zo’n vreemde vorm heeft. Hij maakt melding van zijn uitzonderlijke waarneming.

De FBI, het leger en de luchtmacht wilden allemaal weten wat er aan de hand was, aldus Christopher Orwoll, directeur van het New Mexico Museum of Space History.

Het object verscheen op slechts enkele kilometers van de White Sands Missile Range, waar de eerste atoombom tot ontploffing werd gebracht en waar wordt gewerkt aan geheime wapensystemen.

Niet mogelijk

Sommigen denken dat Zamora een Lunar Surveyor, een experimentele NASA-sonde, heeft gezien, maar volgens veel onderzoekers is dat niet mogelijk.

“Lonnie Zamora zei dat het object 10 tot 12 meter lang was, terwijl de Lunar Surveyor ongeveer vier meter lang was, dus die kan het niet geweest zijn,” legt astronoom Antonio Paris uit.

Buitenaards ruimteschip

Het incident doet denken aan de landing van een buitenaards ruimteschip in 1989 in de Sovjet-Unie, dat werd bemand door drie tot vier meter grote wezens met kleine hoofden.

“Geleerden hebben bevestigd dat recent in een park bij de Russische stad Woronezj een onbekend vliegend voorwerp is geland,” aldus persbureau TASS. “Zij hebben ook de landingsplaats geïdentificeerd en sporen aangetroffen van buitenaardse wezens.”

Inwoners van de stad zagen volgens het persbureau zwevend boven het park een groot lichtend voorwerp of schijf. Ze zeiden dat de UFO landde en dat er drie wezens naar buiten kwamen die grote gelijkenis vertoonden met mensen en werden vergezeld door een kleine robot.

This is really odd. Tom Delonge is acting like he's an alien or something that can force disclosure, or that he has created some elite group that could easily compete with the illuminate. I really hope he is successful what ever his endeavours in the field, as long as it helps awaken to public to the reality of the situation.

News states:
Tom DeLonge Responds to His Leaked UFO Emails: "Big Things Are Coming"

Last week, it was revealed that former Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge has sent multiple emails to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman John Podesta asking about aliens and UFOs. His questions seemed trivial compared to some of the other information gathered by WikiLeaks, but DeLonge isn't laughing. The longtime UFO enthusiast (who once quit Blink-182 to focus on his extraterrestrial interests) issued a statement regarding the emails Friday afternoon.

"I am still here," he wrote on Facebook. "Wikileaks really messed some important stuff up. What seems like ridiculous subject matter to most, is of massive importance to admirable National Security Leadership."

Clearly upset with the lighthearted manner most people have taken with his emails, DeLonge continued, "It’s easy to poke fun about the topic from an armchair, but unless you’re invited to the meetings I have been a part of, then…no more laughing. Big things are coming. Project is still on, believe it or not, things just got bigger. #SekretMachines"

For now, we're unsure what these "big things" are, but for a closer look into DeLonge's thoughts on UFOs, you can watch his 2012 interview with Larry King on the topic below.

Secret Documents Apparently Reveal A Senior U.S. Senator Reported Of Witnessing Two UFOs

Secret Documents Apparently Reveal A Senior U.S. Senator Reported Of Witnessing Two UFOs

flying-saucer

Three U.S. government officials deemed to be highly reliable reported witnessing two UFOs hovering near a train line. The report of the sightings was filed 61 years ago, but their supporters allegedly covered up the said report.

Alien researchers obtained formerly confidential files that detail senior Senator Richard B. Russell and two aides’ account about seeing two flying saucers taking off.

During a fact-finding mission to Russia, Sen. Russell was on a Soviet-era train. He was a chairman of the Armed Services Committee and considered as one of the most influential U.S. senators. He died after serving for 38 years in 1971.

According to the documents obtained by the Fund for UFO Research (FUFOR), Sen. Russell was in the Transcaucasus region with his two aides at around 7 p.m. on October 4, 1955, when the incident took place.

richard-rusell

He reportedly spotted two disc-shaped UFOs when he looked out of the window. These UFOs were taking off from a place close to the railway tracks, according to the documents.

The documents further reveal that the senator called over aide Lt. Col. Hathaway and interpreter Ruben Efron to look out of the window as well. Both of them also saw the two craft taking off.

The senator and the aides reported the sighting to U.S. Embassy in Prague, in Czechoslovakia, and U.S. Air Force, but the account was apparently kept strictly confidential.

The documents disclose that air attaché at the embassy, Lt. Col. Thomas Ryan, filed a top secret Air Force intelligence report on the senator and aides’ sighting on October 14, 1955, after meeting the trio.

The filed top secret report states that Lt. Col. Hathaway told Lt. Col. Ryan that the trio saw a disc ascending almost vertically at a relatively slow speed. The outer space of the UFO revolved slowly to the right, to an altitude of approximately 6,000 feet. Its speed increased sharply as it flew north. The second unidentified flying disc was seen about a minute later performing similar actions. About 1 to 2 miles south of the rail line was the take- off area.

CIA agents also interviewed the trio and a fourth unidentified witness.

The documents reveal that Mr. Efron described the visibility as excellent and the UFOs glide without any noise heard and exhaust glow or trail seen.

The fourth unidentified individual stated that one UFO had a white light on top and a slight dome.

All witnesses claimed that the disc had a pinkish-white glow and ascended in a vertical manner with the glow moving slowly in a clockwise direction around the perimeter, providing a pinwheel appearance.

On October 18, 1955, U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was briefed, and the FBI penned a memo on November 4, stating that Lt. Col. Hathaway’s testimony would support the existence of a flying saucer.

The men remain their silence publicly, but details were leaked to a Los Angeles Examiner reporter who approached Senator Russell.

The senator’s response to journalist Tom Towers was that he already discussed the matter with the affected government agencies and they thought it wasn’t wise to publicize the issue at that time. The senator refused to divulge further details to the reporter.

The Air Force, FBI, and the CIA documents remained confidential for 30 years before being declassified in 1985, but their details emerged only after FUFOR obtained the documents under a Freedom of Information Act request.

FUFOR chairman, Dr. Bruce Maccabee, said these long-secret documents show for the first time that a powerful U.S. senator saw and reported a UFO. He believes that the witnesses were prevented from talking about the incident. The chairman added that these documents reveal the CIA took the UFO report seriously.

Paranormal Book Author Seeks More Information Of Mass UFO Sightings In 1983

Paranormal Book Author Seeks More Information Of Mass UFO Sightings In 1983

Linda Zimmermann (Amazon link) believes there are more interesting details about the mysterious mass sightings of a boomerang-shaped object in the evening skies over nearby New York 30 years ago.

Linda Zimmermann

She believes some answers are yet to be unveiled. She mainly thinks the missing piece in this entire thing is Connecticut.

The New York-based paranormal book author said that there were sightings in Putman County in February 1983 and the craft in question continued along the Interstate 84 corridor. It was, this time, IBM executive in Danbury had seen it, according to Zimmermann.

The executive said that UFO was bigger than 747 and was floating in the air as if it was on a string.

In hopes of attracting eyewitnesses who want to share their story about the UFO, Zimmermann has organized a UFO conference at the Danbury Library this Saturday.

Zimmermann said that the conference is going to focus heavily in Connecticut. She believes that the state deserves its work because there were a lot of sightings.

It may be a natural assumption that an individual who saw the UFO a generation ago would not be able to remember important details of the event anymore, but Zimmermann thinks otherwise.
Zimmermann said that majority of witnesses told her that they remember it like it just happened yesterday.

UFO Moving at Incredible Speed Tracked By Radar | New Rendlesham Case Video

UFO Moving at Incredible Speed Tracked By Radar | New Rendlesham Case Video

The now-retired controllers say they tracked a bona fide UFO that covered 120 miles in eight seconds, or three sweeps of their radar beam!

The two U.S. Air Force air traffic controllers who were working in the RAF Bentwaters base tower in late December 1980—during the series of incidents collectively known as the Rendlesham Forest UFO Case—have finally discussed their long-held secret on camera.

Ike Barker and Jim Carey first spoke to me in 2007, allowing me to record their revelations on audio tape. But their dramatic, game-changing testimony is now available on video, in an interview appearing in my newdocumentary film, UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed, excerpted here:

The now-retired controllers say they tracked a bona fide UFO that covered 120 miles in eight seconds, or two sweeps of their radar beam! If that were not stunning enough, Carey says the object also made an instantaneous right-angle turn as it left the vicinity. For his part, Barker says he actually saw the amazing interloper as it briefly hovered near the air traffic control tower, describing it as an orange sphere with a series of portholes positioned around its center.

Airtraffic Controllers Track UFO on Radar

Both controllers are emphatic: This was an intelligently-controlled craft whose capabilities far surpassed any current human technology. Significantly, the incident occurred the same night that USAF Lt. Col. Charles Halt—the Deputy Base Commander at Bentwaters—was leading a small group of Security Policemen through nearby Rendlesham Forest, to investigate strange lights that had been reported there. At one point, Halt described seeing an object resembling an eyeball moving through the trees, dripping a molten-metal-like substance.

UFO Moving Through The Trees at Rendlesham Forest

Skeptics have always dismissed this “UFO sighting” as a misreported observation of the sweeping beam from the nearby Orford Ness lighthouse—despite the fact that Col. Halt has repeatedly said, as early as 1997, that the lighthouse beam was also visible during the incident, but located some 30-degrees away from the strange glowing object.

According to Halt, the eyeball eventually “exploded” and released five smaller disc-shaped craft that raced away in different directions, something confirmed by USAF Security Policeman Rick Bobo, who saw the spectacle at a distance, from the guard tower at the Bentwaters nuclear Weapons Storage Area (WSA).

After awhile, Halt says, three disc-shaped craft higher in the sky were observed doing grid search-like maneuvers. One of them approached his team, hovered above it, and directed a laser-like beam at their feet. After a few seconds, the beam clicked off and the object moved away, in the direction of the WSA. Seconds later, Halt heard excited radio chatter from guards posted at the facility, indicating that beams from the UFO were falling on or near the tactical nuclear bomb storage bunkers!

Beams from the UFO Were Falling On Nuclear Bomb Storage Bunkers

It should be noted that the late Georgina Bruni, while researching the Rendlesham Forest UFO incidents, interviewed a former British military radar operator at RAF Watton, Nigel Kerr, who admitted that an anomalous aerial object had briefly appeared on his screen—for three or four sweeps—the night that Lt. Col. Halt and his team were in the woods.

Now that the USAF air traffic controllers’ extensive, detailed testimony is also on the record, we can confidently assert that at least one genuine UFO—a high-velocity, maneuvering, hovering, spherical-shaped craft exhibiting advanced technology—was in the vicinity during the period that Halt described seeing multiple UFOs in the sky.

Nevertheless, questions remain: Why was only one UFO tracked on radar—both at Bentwaters and Watton—when multiple objects were sighted by USAF personnel on the ground? Were all but one of the craft operating in a Stealth-like mode? Or does this discrepancy relate to a given object’s altitude, with most of the UFOs maneuvering beneath the radars’ lower detectability-limit? And why did some observers (Halt and his team) observe discs while others (controller Ike Barker and one guard at the WSA, Charlie Waters) report spherical craft?

Regardless, the relevant facts—including a detailed summary of the stunning incident at the WSA—are discussed in my video. Additionally, a far more comprehensive assessment of the entire Rendlesham Forest Case is featured in my book, UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites, available only at my website.

Two Glowing UFO Over Mountain Tops At Newman, Georgia On Oct 16, 2016

Two Glowing UFO Over Mountain Tops At Newman, Georgia On Oct 16, 2016

Date of sighting: Oct 16, 2016
Location of sighting: Newnan, Georgia, USA
News source: MUFON #79837

This sighting included two UFOs which stood out in the night sky. Unfortunately the eyewitness didn't get any video, but only had this single photo. A video of them moving would really help determining if it was a UFO or something else.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

1. Where were you and what were you doing at the time? I was taking a walk in the later evening about dusk to get some steps in for the day. The sighting was around 730p EST, in Newnan, GA, about 15 miles south of Hartsfield Jackson Airport.

2. What made you first notice the object? There were 2 very bright lights in the sky, not airplane lights. Living so close to the airport I see airplane lights all the time and know the landing patterns of the planes. They were out of the landing path from the west and east of the directions of the planes in the area. The orb lights stood out like a sore thumb. The orbs were also closer together than any planes would be on approach to the airport.

3. What did you think the object was when you first noticed it? Airplanes

4. Describe the object and its actions and motions in detail. 2 very round, circular, glowing orbs. Like perfect glowing circles. Almost star like in color. After taking the pictures with an iPhone 6s +, I zoomed in to see if I can get a better look. In the middle of the orbs there seems to be something in the middle of each of them, but not sure if it is just distortion or not.

5. Describe your feelings, reactions and actions, during and after sighting the object. I always look for UFO's, so I was excited that this could be my first potential sighting. I had no other feelings other than excitement. I texted my buddy the picture and he check flightradar24 and nothing on the app showing aircraft in the area matching the two orbs in that area. I am always skeptical of ever seeing anything like this, but this was different than anything I have ever seen before.

6. How did you lose sight of the object? Total sighting was about 10 minutes for me. I wasn't 100% sure, so I started walking down the hill to my house. I as started walking each orb went in separate directions in slow controlled line. It was odd to me that they were going the opposite direction of the landing patterns of the planes. They went below the tree line (in the pictures) and didn't see them again.

NASA Images Indicate That the ExoMars Schiaparelli Lander Crashed

NASA Images Indicate That the ExoMars Schiaparelli Lander Crashed

ESA

IN BRIEF

Images from NASA suggest that the lander has crash landed, and perhaps even exploded on the surface of the planet.
The ESA has not officially confirmed the crash but does fear for the worst.

ExoMars 2016 separation

It looks like the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Schiaparelli Mars Lander entered martian atmosphere and landed with a bang, new images from NASA suggest. Last we heard, the ExoMars Lander entered the atmosphere of Mars at 10:42 am ET (2:42 pm GMT) on October 19 for a supposedly 6-minute descent onto the red planet’s surface.

Shortly after confirmation of entry, the ESA lost contact with the ExoMars lander. Data from the Trace Gas Orbiter, the lander’s mothership, are still being analyzed to understand what really happened.

However, we may have a clue. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) made a pass last October 20 on the supposed landing site on the Meridiani Planum. The photos taken by the MRO’s low-resolution CTX camera show two new features on the surface that weren’t found in similar images taken last May.

The ESA released an official statement this Friday:

Estimates are that Schiaparelli dropped from a height of between 2 and 4 kilometers, therefore impacting at a considerable speed, greater than 300 km/h. The relatively large size of the feature would then arise from disturbed surface material. It is also possible that the lander exploded on impact, as its thruster propellant tanks were likely still full. These preliminary interpretations will be refined following further analysis.

While there may be a sliver of room to hope for the best, the evidence is mounting that the lander is likely lost.
