Couple Runs Home and Locks Door After Seeing A UFO Above A Famous Beach In Cornwall
A couple left mesmerized after spotting a UFO hovering over them in the sky while on a night stroll along Portreath Beach in Cornwall.
Just a few weeks ago, two women claimed to have seen a huge UFO in Penzance that left them shocked and in awe.
Sharing their sighting in Portreath, a woman known only as Miss Couzens said they were walking along the beach when things started to get eerie. She added that they were watching the ocean when noticed that they could not hear it. She described the environment before their sighting as peaceful.
They were on the bench by the café sitting down. Then they noticed everything went silent as soon as they looked at the ocean. They started to feel eerie, and they felt like they were in a different time zone.
They looked up and saw a UFO they described as massive black boomerang object, which made them sitting frozen and staring this unknown aerial thing. As they left mesmerized by the UFO, they heard a humming sound and the UFO just disappeared.
The couple stated their sighting took place on Monday, February 20.
After their UFO sighting, Miss Couzens said that they ran from the beach, went home, and locked their doors.
Massive UFO About The Size of Jupiter Crashes Into The Sun
Some conspiracy theorists went into a frenzy after discovering images from Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, which is jointly operated by European Space Agency and National Aeronautics and Space Administration, showing an apparent UFO of about the size of Jupiter crashed into the sun.
The UFO is being described as made up of a transparent group of rings. Many believe the spacecraft collided by accident, but others suggest the extraterrestrial UFO was using the sun to refuel.
The video uploaded by Paranormal Crucible revealed that the object is about the size of the Jupiter.
After the massive object allegedly crashed into the sun, it generated a bright flash. Scientists have yet to offer an explanation for this bizarre event.
It’s not the first time conspiracy theorists discovered the so-called alien spacecraft flying near the sun’s surface. Since last year, a lot of images circulated online, which conspiracy theorists suggested showed extraterrestrial spaceships gathering near the sun and sucking solar power.
The images seem to show a white spot that is joined to the surface of the sun with a connected line.
YouTuber StreetCap1 also uploaded the video of the alleged massive UFO feeding off the solar energy.
Some UFO hunters who viewed the video think the UFO is glowing white, but it appears yellow because of the sun’s plasma. They suggest the craft is made from an unknown material that is resistant from the surface of the sun.
Scientists Have Turned Cooking Oil Into a Material 200 Times Stronger Than Steel
Researchers have found a way to turn cheap, everyday cooking oil into the wonder material graphene – a technique that could greatly reduce the cost of making the much-touted nanomaterial.
Graphene is a single sheet of carbon atoms with incredible properties – it’s 200 times stronger than steel, harder than diamond, and incredibly flexible. Under certain conditions, it can even be turned into a superconductor that carries electricity with zero resistance.
That means the material has the potential to make better electronics, more effective solar cells, and could even be used in medicine.
Last year, a study suggested that graphene could help mobile phone batteries last 25 percent longer, and the material has the potential to filter fuel out of thin air.
But these applications have been limited by the fact that graphene usually has to be made in a vacuum at intense heat using purified ingredients, which makes it expensive to produce.
Until we can find a cost-effective way to mass produce the over-achieving material, it’s pretty much limited to labs.
But scientists in Australia have now managed to create graphene in normal air conditions, using cheap soybean cooking oil.
“This ambient-air process for graphene fabrication is fast, simple, safe, potentially scalable, and integration-friendly,” said one of the researchers, Zhao Jun Han from Australia’s CSIRO.
“Our unique technology is expected to reduce the cost of graphene production and improve the uptake in new applications.”
The team has called the new technique ‘GraphAir’ technology, and it involves heating soybean oil in a tube furnace for about 30 minutes, causing it to decompose into carbon building blocks.
This carbon is then rapidly cooled on a foil made of nickel, where it diffuses into a thin rectangle of graphene that’s just 1 nanometre thick (about 80,000 times thinner than a human hair).
Not only is this technique cheaper and easier than other methods, it’s also a lot quicker – to create graphene in a vacuum takes several hours.

Zhao told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) that the technique could reduce the cost of making graphene 10-fold.
Not only that, but it offers a more sustainable option for recycling waste cooking oil.
“We can now recycle waste oils that would have otherwise been discarded and transform them into something useful,” said one of the team, Dong Han Seo.
The question now is whether this new technique can be scaled up – finding a cheaper way to make graphene is awesome, but the graphene film produced so far was only 5 cm (1.9 inches) by 2 cm (0.8 inches) in size.
The team says that the largest film they can make using the technique right now is around the size of a credit card.
To really make graphene fit for commercial use, researchers will need to produce films that are a whole lot larger than that.
“The potential’s enormous,” David Officer, a graphene expert from the University of Wollongong in Australia, who wasn’t involved in the study, told the ABC.
“[But] the question will be whether you can economically scale a method like this, where they’ve sealed it inside a furnace tube, to create and handle metre-sized films.”
The team is now looking for commercial partners to pursue this goal.
But they’re not the only researchers working on it – last week, a team from Kansas State University patented a simple technique that creates graphene using only hydrocarbon gas, oxygen, and a spark plug. No vacuum required.
Time will tell if they can use it to effectively make large films of graphene in one go, but it’s nice to know that researchers around the world are working on finding a way to take this incredible material out of the lab and into our lives.
The research has been published in Nature Communications.

Over 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water and this huge area contains some of the most amazing wonders on the planet. Shockingly, huge portions of the world’s oceans have yet to be discovered but the areas that have been explored have already provided some incredible sights; from huge shipwrecks thousands of metres deep, to enormous underwater springs that create a giant Jacuzzi effect. The planet’s oceans and lakes provide a rich selection of different treasures. The following are 20 of the greatest underwater wonders of the world.
Until relatively recently, the deepest depths of the ocean floor couldn’t be reached by humankind. This may go some way to explaining why it took until 1977 for the incredible deep sea vents off the coast of Ecuador, to be discovered. The hydrothermal vents were discovered to the east of the Galapagos Islands, some 2,400 metres below the surface. The vents were formed due to two tectonic plates diverging, causing sea water to shoot out at incredible speeds and high temperatures (around 400 degrees centigrade). Before the deep sea vents were discovered, it was thought that life couldn’t exist at such depths, due to the lack of sunlight. Scientists found a number of marine animals around the vents though, living off the nutrients that they expelled. These incredible underwater volcanoes really are one of the underwater wonders of the world.
The Great Barrier Reef is not only the world’s largest coral reef system, it is also the world’s largest single structure made by living organisms. The reef is located off the northeast coast of Australia and is so large it can even be seen from space! The area stretches an incredible 1,400 miles (2,300km) and is made from millions of tiny living organisms, known as coral polyps. The reef also supports a huge variety of different marine species; from whales, sharks and dolphins, to turtles, stingrays, sea horses and millions of different species of fish. The area is unsurprisingly an incredibly popular location for scuba diving and was even named by CNN as one of the “Seven natural wonders of the world.
It was thought that the ancient Egyptian city of Heracleion had been lost forever when it sank into the sea over 1,500 years ago, but in 2000 the first remains of the city were discovered off the coast of Alexandria in Egypt. French archeologist, Dr Franck Goddio, came across the underwater archaeological site and, following further investigation, divers discovered sphinxes, statues, columns, temples and even the foundations of a palace that may have belonged to Cleopatra herself! Further investigations also unearthed coins and other everyday objects, as well as a number of ships, suggesting that the site was indeed the location of the 8th century BC city. Many of the objects recovered from the sea floor were also still in excellent condition, making the discovery even more incredible!
It is little surprise that Lake Baikal has made it on to this list and there are a many number of reasons why it is one of the underwater wonders of the world. The lake is located in the south of Siberia and is believed to be the oldest lake in the world, estimated at around 25 million years old. Baikal is also the world’s largest freshwater lake and contains an incredible 20% of the planet’s unfrozen freshwater. It is also the deepest freshwater lake in the world and is one of the clearest lakes on the planet. If that wasn’t impressive enough, Baikal also contains around 1,700 different species of animals and plants, of which two thirds of these (around 5,650) cannot be found anywhere else on the planet! The lake’s location also means it experiences a huge temperature change between the summer and winter months and spends much of the winter in a crystalized, frozen state. A truly spectacular sight!
Many ships have been lost to the deep depths of the ocean, but one of the most incredible wreck dives in the world can be found off the coast of Queensland in Australia. The Yongala was a steel passenger and freight steamer that sank in 1911, after being hit by a cyclone, which killed all 122 people on board, as well as a racehorse and a bull. The ship had no telegraph facilities onboard, so could not be warned of the terrible weather ahead. The remains of the ship were not discovered until 1958, but the wreck is now a popular location for scuba divers. The Yongala is one of the most popular shipwreck dives in the world, with the chance of seeing bull and tiger sharks, manta rays, octopuses and turtles, as well as the beautiful coral that adorns the side of the boat.
If you want to experience the truly exotic, then Jellyfish Lake in Palau should not disappoint. The lake is located on the island of Eil Malk, which is part of the Rock Islands in Palau’s Southern Lagoon. The secluded lake is connected to the ocean through small tunnels in the ancient Miocene reef and is home to a huge army of golden jellyfish that migrate across the water on a daily basis. The lake is also open to tourists, who have the opportunity to snorkel with the jellyfish for a $100 pass. Although the jellyfish do contain stinging cells, they are very weak and not powerful enough to cause serious damage to human skin. Jellyfish Lake is a truly unique location and undoubtedly one of the underwater wonders of the world.
A blue hole is the term used for a sinkhole that has an entrance under the surface of the water, with many of these holes opening up into underwater caverns. Dean’s Blue Hole in the Bahamas is the deepest ocean sinkhole in the world. The popular dive site has a diameter of around 25-35 metres at the entrance and opens up into an incredible 100m wide cavern below. The cavern plunges to a breathtaking depth of 202 metres (663ft) and is easily the deepest ocean blue hole in the world. When you consider that the maximum known depth of other ocean sink holes is around 110 metres, you realise just how unique and large the Dean’s Blue Hole is.
A real life version of Atlantis can be found at the bottom of a man-made lake in China. In 1959, the Chinese Government decided that they wanted to build a new hydro-electric power station and so made the call to build a huge lake in the Eastern Provence of Zhejiang. The lake was built between the Five Lion Mountain and the ancient city of Shi Cheng (Lion City), that was flooded in order to make way for the power station. The city has been untouched for over 50 years. A dive team has recently rediscovered the remains of the city but there are now plans to turn it into a dive site. Incredibly, the dive team said that nearly every structure in Lion City was still intact, even after lying underwater for over half a century!
The Belize Barrier Reef may not be able to match up to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef in terms of size but it certainly makes up for it in beauty. The incredible stretch of ocean is home to one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. The reef stretches an impressive 190 miles (300km) long and is part of the Mesoamerican barrier reef system, which is the second largest coral reef system in the world. The Belize Barrier Reef is home to over 500 species of fish, 70 hard coral species and 36 soft coral species. Perhaps most impressive of all though, is the fact that around 90% of the area still needs to be researched, suggesting that so far only 10% of all the species in the coral reef have been discovered!
20 Underwater Wonders of Our Blue Planet- PART II
The waters off Cocos Island in Costa Rica are a scuba divers dream and they are rich with a variety of marine life. The deep waters that surround the island, some 340 miles from the coast of Costa Rica, are teeming with rays, dolphins, turtles and, most impressively, large schools of sharks. The coral reef that surrounds the island attracts a large variety of wildlife, which in turn, makes the waters the ideal hunting ground for sharks. Cocos Island, also known as ‘Shark Island,’ is home to Whitetip reef sharks, whale sharks and hammerheads. The scalloped hammerhead shark is the most common visitor to the island’s shores and, during the wet season (June- Oct), schools of hundreds of hammerheads can be seen in the waters. A truly spectacular sight and undoubtedly one of the underwater wonders of the world.
The Northern Red Sea has been described as “the underwater Garden of Eden” and it is easy to see why. The stretch of water between Asia and Africa is home to some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world and some of the most exotically coloured fish. The Northern Red Sea covers 169,000 square miles and is home to over 70 species of hard coral, 30 species of soft coral and more than 500 different species of fish. The area is a hugely popular site with scuba divers, who are attracted by the chance of diving in the warm tropical waters, witnessing the beautifully coloured coral reefs and spectacular assortment of exotic fish.
In November 2013, one of the most incredible underwater discoveries was found off the coast of Sicily. The remains of battering rams, helmets, armour and weapons were recovered from the sea floor, believing to date back to a naval battle that took place over 2,000 years earlier. The artefacts are thought to be from the Battle of the Egadi Islands, which took place in 241 BC. It was part of the Punic War, between the Romans and the Carthaginians, which lasted 20 years and was the beginning of the Roman’s european wide domination. It was believed that 50 Carthaginian ships were sunk in the fighting and their remains stayed at the bottom of the ocean for over 2,000 years!
Although Mount Everest may be the highest mountain on land, it pales in comparison to Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The peak of Mauna Kea is the highest point above land in Hawaii but much of the dormant volcano actually sits below sea level. Measured from its oceanic base, the tip of Mauna Kea would actually measure 10,100m, much more than the height of Mount Everest and officially the highest mountain in the world! The volcano is estimated to be around one million years old and is without doubt one of the underwater (and overwater) wonders of the world.
In March 2014 one of the oldest boats ever constructed was found at the bottom of Zambratija Cove, in Croatia. Marine archaeologist, Giulia Boetto discovered the Bronze Age sewn boat, which dated all the way back to 1,200 BC. The vessel was a type of wooden boat that was sewn together using rope, roots and willow branches. The relic measured 7 metres in length and 2.5 metres in width and was still in remarkable condition, with some stitching still visible. A remarkable achievement, especially considering it.
Iceland sits on highly geologically active ground and has a number of active volcanoes. This volcanic ground also provides one of the country’s most famous attractions, hot springs. There are a number of natural hot springs in Iceland where both natives and tourists go for a dip in the warm volcanic water. This water is geothermally heated by the volcanic rocks below and warmed to temperatures between 37-39 degrees centigrade. The springs not only provide a pleasant place for people to take a dip, the water is also thought to obtain natural healing abilities, soothing aches and pains as well as helping with many different skin conditions.
The Dead Sea may not have the nicest of names but the location is a truly spectacular sight. The Dead Sea is actually a salt lake and borders Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. The shores of the Dead Sea lie 423 metres below sea level, making it the world’s lowest elevation on land. The lake is also one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world and has a 34.2% salinity, that’s 9.6 times saltier than the sea! This high salt count means there is very little marine life that can survive in the water, hence the name “Dead” Sea. The high salinity also means that swimming in the lake is more like floating and many visitors travel here every year to test out the waters. The Dead Sea was also one of the world’s first health resorts, used by Herod the Great over 2,000 years ago, and is still used for its health benefits today, due to the high nutrients and mineral content in the water.

5,000-YEAR-OLD EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS FOUND IN AUSTRALIA PROVE HISTORY IS WRONG
History is thrown into turmoil as 5,000-year-old Egyptian hieroglyphs are found in Australia. Either plate tectonics have shifted so drastically over the last 5,000 years, or what we knew of the ancient Egyptians may be severely lacking. Either way, it seems that history has been giving the wrong story.
5,000 YEAR OLD EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS IN AUSTRALIA
What is even more disturbing is that this has not been the first discovery that debunked current historical records, and that the records seem to need a severe overhaul.
EGYPTIANS TRAVELLED THE WORLD BEFORE CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS OR ZHENG HE
There are of course die-hard sceptics who would never acknowledge the fact that 5,000-year-old Egyptian hieroglyphs were indeed discovered in Australia. It would not be foolish to think so as current historical records does indeed suggest that the Egyptians do not have the capability for trans-continental oceanic voyages.
Thus, it may come as a shock to many to discover that ancient Egyptians may have contact with ancient American civilisations. The discovery was made back in 1992 when a German scientist was performing a series of tests on some very old Egyptian mummies. Test results revealed traces of hashish, tobacco, and cocaine lodged within the hair, skin and bones of the mummies. This may even suggest that the ancient Egyptians knew about the uses of these plants way before anyone else did.
Tobacco and cocaine grew only in the continent which makes up modern America. The question is, how did any of these plants arrive in ancient Egypt long before any Europeans discovered the Americas.
These discoveries are groundbreaking, as they evidently point out that the ancient Egyptians did have the capability for transoceanic travel. This not only means that our current recorded history may be wrong, but also the possibility that there could be other ancient cultures that have developed the capability for long-range sea travel, or even developed other forms of technology or capabilities that we may not be aware of in the history texts.
THE GOSFORD GLYPHS
Upon studying the ancient hieroglyphics, many researchers believe in the authenticity of the glyphs. The glyphs also use a form of ancient Egyptian sentence and grammatical structuring that were only recently discovered.
The glyphs are located within the compounds of the Brisbane Water National Park, Kariong. These hieroglyphic texts could shatter publicly known history and rewrite thousands of historical records.
Known as the Gosford Glyphs, they were actually discovered in the early 1900s, and the roughly 250 stone carvings have been an integral part of the local culture and folklore for about a century.
The writing style of the glyphs is what makes them so unique. They appear to be extremely ancient and used an archaic form of sentence and word structuring that was only used in very early Egyptian dynasties. In fact, the Gosford Glyphs were used so way back that very little records exist, thus attempts to study them have yielded little progress. Most Egyptologists do not even have the ability or knowledge to translate these glyphs.

Schokkend! NASA geeft toe: Voyager is gehackt door Aliens? (Video)
Ik heb me vaak afgevraagd over het waarom van de Voyager sonde stillegging en deze video vat de meeste van onze zorgen hierover samen. Toen het zichzelf uitschakelde, dachten velen van ons opeens terug aan de Star Trek 1979 film waar V’ger terugkeerde na het maken van contact met buitenaardse wezens. Laten we hopen dat er niets zoals dat gebeurt, maar als dat zo is, zullen we hopelijk klaar zijn om ermee te communiceren als Voyager terugkeert en ervan leren over de uitheemse soorten die gevonden zijn.

De omschrijving bij de video luidt als volgt:
Schokkend!!! NASA geeft toe: VOYAGER is gehackt door aliens!
2016, NASA geeft toe: Iemand nam de controle over van onze ruimtevaartuigen, we ontvingen berichten in een onbekende taal via de Space probe “Voyager 2” die tijdens zijn reis door de ruimte een bericht naar de basis op de Aarde stuurde in een vrij onbegrijpelijke taal.
NASA na meer dan zes jaar wisten ze niet de reden, maar ze weten wel dat het geen toeval kan zijn. “Voyager 2” is het eerste ruimtevaartuig om het zonnestelsel te verlaten in 2010 en het was in de momenten dat het ruimtevaartuig de interstellaire ruimte betrad dat er iets vreemds gebeurde waardoor NASA concludeerde dat “iemand of iets” de controle had overgenomen. “Op een afstand van ongeveer 15 miljard kilometer van de aarde, begon de sonde plotseling met het versturen van gegevens in een taal die ze nooit konden begrijpen,” zei NASA expert Kevin Baines, tegen Physics Astronomy. ‘Iets of iemand veranderde het communicatiesysteem van de ruimtesonde Voyager 2, “voegde Baines toe.
Australische wetenschapper: “Bewijs voor link tussen graancirkels en tijdreizen”
Een Australische wetenschapper die jarenlang onderzoek heeft gedaan naar graancirkels, met name in Groot-Brittannië, is tot een opmerkelijke conclusie gekomen.
Dr. Horace Drew stelt dat graancirkels het werk zijn van tijdreizigers.
Drew werkte 23 jaar als moleculair bioloog voor het CSIRO, het belangrijkste wetenschappelijke instituut van Australië.
Hij claimt in 1965 een buitenaards vaartuig te hebben waargenomen in Florida, waarna hij zich besloot te richten op wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
Hij zegt dat buitenaardse technologie kan worden gebruikt om allerlei problemen op aarde op te lossen.
“We leven in een wereld die afhankelijk is van olie,” vertelde hij aan de Australische Daily Telegraph. “Die olie beschadigt onze planeet.”
“Niet-vervuilende buitenaardse technologie die deze problemen kan oplossen wordt geheim gehouden,” vervolgde hij.
De moleculair bioloog wil het UFO-fenomeen op een wetenschappelijke manier gaan benaderen.
Volgens hem is er bewijs dat graancirkels kunnen worden gelinkt aan tijdreizen. “Er is overvloedig bewijs voor graancirkels.”
“Ik ben zeven keer afgereisd naar plekken in Groot-Brittannië waar bewijs kan worden gevonden voor de manier waarop graancirkels zijn ontstaan,” legde hij uit.
Dr. Drew roept mensen op te kijken naar het bewijs en op basis daarvan hun eigen conclusies te trekken.
Hij gaf onderstaande lezing op 3 september vorig jaar in Nieuw-Zuid-Wales:
What George W. Bush REALLY Knows About UFOs
Former President George W. Bush appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week and the host, just as he did with both Clintons and with former President Obama, asked:
When you were in office, did you go through the secret files – the UFO documents?
Bush answered:
Maybe. You know, it’s funny, my daughters asked the very same question. But I’m not telling you. I’m not telling you nothing.
According to a new poll released coincidentally on the same day as the interview, 55 percent of Americans believe the government would try to keep it secret if there was any contact with an alien species. Even though, as Kimmel pointed out, Bush is no longer part of the government, the former president answered yes when asked, “are there really great secrets that you know that you can’t share with people?”
While he won’t talk about it, W. definitely knows some things about UFOs. On the morning of November 3rd, 2003, radar picked up a UFO in restricted space around the White House. Two fighter jets were called to the area but no craft was found. On the morning of April 27, 2005, another UFO was spotted heading from Reagan National Airport towards the White House at up to 120 miles per hour. The president was rushed into the protective underground bunker and three helicopters (one military and two police) came to the location but no craft was seen.
Then there was the UFO at the president’s ranch in Texas. On January 8, 2006, numerous sources reported that over a dozen people saw a 300 meter (985 foot – although some said “mile-long”) silent UFO with bright lights that was flying low over Stephenville towards the president’s ranch in Crawford … followed by USAF jets. The president was not at the ranch at that time. Some witnesses said it stopped and hovered. MUFON noted that the object was seen on radar but the reports were heavily redacted. The military at first denied the reports, then admitted that an “error was made regarding the reported training activity of military aircraft” and that “10 F-16s from the 457th Fighter Squadron were performing training operations in the Brownwood Military Operating Area.”
Would President George W. Bush know more than these scant details about these (and other) incidents? Of course he would. He was constantly in competition with his father, the former president and former CIA director George H. W. Bush, and would have wanted to top his dad in this area as well. While CIA director, George H. W. Bush turned down requests from incoming President Jimmy Carter for UFO information, even though he later admitted, “I know some. I know a fair amount.” Did he later turn down requests from a president from his own party? A president with the same name? Is blood thicker than party affiliation? UFO disclosure?
While there have been UFO sightings around Washington and around the presidents during other administrations, including the current one, reports during the single term of George H.W. Bush are scant. Did they suddenly disappear or did Bush keep them tightly top secret, as he later bragged, “I am very careful in public life about dealing with classified information.”? In either case, the younger Bush was a constant presence in that administration, the Reagan administration when his father was VP and the CIA year. He was also a former pilot who would have had an interest in UFOs and a rogue competitive son who used his father’s past and current positions to his advantage.
Is his laughter about UFOs a cover?
George W. Bush laughed when Jimmy Kimmel asked him about UFOs. Then again, he was known to laugh about most subjects.
George W. Bush was exposed to UFO incidents and information more than any other president, through three administrations and a CIA directorship.
He knows.
NASA Seeks Payload Ideas for Mystery Satellite
WASHINGTON — NASA is soliciting concepts for payloads that could fly on a mysterious satellite it is in discussions to inherit from another government agency.
NASA issued a request for information (RFI) Feb. 15 for a proposed spacecraft called the NASA Science/Technology Platform Satellite, or NSTP-Sat. The RFI was the first time NASA had publicly discussed such a mission.
The RFI, issued by NASA's science mission directorate, solicits ideas for payloads, including remote sensing instruments and technology demonstrations, which could fly on the spacecraft. The RFI offered few details about the proposed mission, noting NSTP-Sat could fly "to low Earth orbit, geostationary equatorial orbit, medium Earth orbit, Earth-Moon L1, or lunar orbit in the 2021 timeframe."
The RFI, which remains open until March 17, seeks ideas for how this spacecraft could be used to meet NASA's science and technology development goals. The RFI states that NASA will use the responses to determine "whether there are science opportunities for new uses of this spacecraft" and "whether a solicitation for proposals is warranted to enable such opportunities." [Satellite Quiz: What's Up There?]
The RFI offered few details about the spacecraft itself. "The NSTP-Sat is a spacecraft platform that has become available to NASA as excess Government property through an interagency agreement," it stated. It added the spacecraft was a "Boeing GEO spinner bus" that could launch on an EELV-class rocket or as a secondary payload on a Space Launch System mission.
NASA and other organizations involved with NSTP-Sat have been reticent to provide additional details about how NASA gained access to the satellite bus. Alan Zide, a program executive in NASA's heliophysics division and the point of contact listed in the RFI, did not respond to email messages with questions about the satellite.
NASA spokesman Dwayne Brown said March 1 that NASA is in discussions with the U.S. Air Force to obtain the bus. "NASA and the U.S. Air Force (USAF) are in discussions concerning the transfer of a satellite bus that the USAF has determined does not meet current or projected Air Force mission requirements," he said.
U.S. Air Force spokeswoman Capt. AnnMarie Annicelli said March 2 she was not familiar with the satellite and was looking into it, but has not provided any additional information. When asked who the original customer was for this Boeing-built satellite, Addrian Brooks, a spokesman for Boeing Network and Space Systems, said March 2 that the company was "unable to disclose this information."
Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who specializes in space history, notes the dimensions for the satellite provided in the RFI are consistent with two versions of satellites built by Hughes Space and Communications. One, the HS-389, was used for the Intelsat 6 series of satellites, while the HS-393 was sold to other commercial customers. Those satellites were built and launched in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Boeing acquired Hughes Space and Communications in 2000.
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), he noted, is thought to have used the same bus for a series of data relay satellites operating under the code name QUASAR, also known as the Satellite Data System (SDS). Four such satellites launched from 1989 through 1996.
Spin-stabilized satellites have fallen out of favor, having been replaced by three-axis stabilized satellites. The last Boeing-built commercial spin-stabilized satellite, a Boeing 376 spacecraft called e-BIRD, launched in 2003.
McDowell said a later generation of QUASAR satellites, launched from 1998 to as recently as 2014, were also assumed to be three-axis stabilized. However, he noted there’s little known about this series of satellites, leaving open the possibility it also used the same bus as the earlier spacecraft.
"It's possible that some other NRO program also used this bus, but QUASAR/SDS is definitely the most likely," he said in a March 3 email.
If the satellite in question is indeed from the NRO, it would not be the first time NASA inherited spare hardware from that intelligence agency. In 2012, NASA announced it was taking possession of two 2.4-meter mirror assemblies from the NRO. The mirrors were reportedly built for NRO's Future Imagery Architecture program, and became surplus when the NRO cancelled the optical portion of that program in the mid-2000s.
NASA, after taking possession of the mirrors, solicited ideas from the scientific community on how to use what it called Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets. NASA decided to use one of the mirrors for the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), which originally planned to build a much smaller mirror. WFIRST is planned for launch in the mid-2020s.

Mr Greer, a former medical doctor, has been at the heart of a disclosure project to try to get the US Government to release all files it has on aliens and UFOs and admit that aliens have visited Earth.
In 2001 he helped organise congressional hearings that brought several witness before congress to debate the issue.
He also founded the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), said to be an "international scientific research and education organization dedicated to the furtherance of our understanding of extraterrestrial intelligence."
Mr Greer, who claims he can get alien craft to appear by meditating, tells the group the two objects contained "beings on board them" and that they are communicating with them.
In the footage the two orbs are there for several minutes, before one and the the other disappear.
Video subtitles described it as "extraterrestrial contact captured during an advanced consciousness training"

UFOs allegedly appeared above Vero beach, but was it a military operation?
Mr Greer claims to use "coherent thought" and "meditation practices" to summon aliens to appear - something he calls CE-5 protocols.
He has previously claimed during a UFO seminar to have taken part in a similar session to contact aliens with serving members of the French Ministry of Defence.
The French MoD refused to comment to Express.co.uk on his claims.
In the video he says to the group of students, who are being taught the alleged technique: "What is that orange object - oh my God. Wow.
"You see that colour?"
Someone asks if it is just a flare, but he replies: "Oh no, no. Thank them for coming.
"Oh here they come, there are two look at this how gorgeous.
"I'm looking at the night scope and there is no smoke, no trails - these are not flares.
"Let's welcome them here."
Mr Greer mixes his alleged techniques with new age practices.

Steven Greer (pictured) claims to contact aliens through meditation.
Thank them for coming. Oh here they come, there are two look at this how gorgeous.
He adds in the video: "Connect to them in your consciousness and invite them here.
"These are the golden ones I talked about… lets welcome the beings on board to join us in meditation.
'It is such a beautiful colour, you will never forget that colour.
"Yeah this is a major event, so we are grateful, so open your heart, your chakra and send them the beauty of humanity.
"Connect with your palms out, and third eye, and heart and make like a tetrahedron radiating our pureness and love towards them.
"Let's invite them to come as close as they can."
Mr Greer claimed the "UFOs" emerged from the sky to hover above the ocean, before one disappeared and the other "dropped into the sea".
Scott Brando, who runs hoax-busting website ufoofinterest.org, said the so-called UFOs over Vero Beach has been debunked.
He pointed to a thread on Reddit by user Solarslave which said: "There was a massive naval training exercise known as COMPTUEX involving hundreds of aircraft, dozens of ships and thousands of sailors and marines going on off the coast of Florida, including Vero Beach at the time of Greer's "UFO summoning" event.
"These training exercises included flares and live fire. Case closed. Nice try Greer."
Mr Brando, also provided a link to a YouTube video showing such military lights going off.
He said: "Those lights were artillery illumination rounds related to a naval exercise known as COMPTUEX with aircrafts and ships going on off the coast of Florida, including Vero Beach.
"Mr Greer is known in our UFO Community for his sensational claims, but he never produced any evidence to back anything up."
