First Contact: How Could We Possibly Talk With Aliens?

First Contact: How Could We Possibly Talk With Aliens?

Brent Swancer

Ever since we as a species have become aware of other stars and planets beyond our own we have let our imaginations run wild with what might lie out there or if we really are alone in the universe upon this spinning rock we call Earth. Are there other creatures or beings inhabiting other stars, and if so we will we ever see them or even talk to them? These are the dreams of our kind, the questions that still loom large across the landscape of our psyche. Is there someone else out there? Further adding to our questions is if there was some other race out there, and we did actually manage to make contact with them across the sea of stars, what would they be like? Would we be able to talk to these alien visitors and perhaps more importantly, what would we say? The conundrum of how we would communicate with extraterrestrials has in recent years been seriously considered, and despite all of the very smart people working on it we are mostly still left in the dark and unprepared for what talking to an alien might actually be like.

If aliens were to come down and greet us, say, tomorrow, we would likely immediately be faced with numerous challenges even beyond language, such as culture, customs, ways of thinking, and even possibly a different concept and perception of reality itself. We might not even recognize them as any type of life as we know it. But if we were to assume that we could just start talking, there would be several potential obstacles right off the bat, not the least of which is that our bodies would likely be completely different, and this could have a lot of possible repercussions.

For one, since language is a representation of our thoughts, which are largely based in how we perceive and interact with the world, human languages reflect the concepts of our senses of sight, smell, touch, and other cues from our physical form, our shared evolution and physical actions and reactions such as laughter or crying. What then happens if an alien race has no eyes or ears or mouth, or experiences the world in a totally different way? What if they do not have the same physical relationship with their as we do with our own? What if they don’t laugh or cry, or emote as we do? They may have no understanding at all of what our concepts of perception are in the first place, a totally different way of experiencing and thinking about time and reality, and so this would reverberate throughout their whole way of thinking and communication, and indeed their very being. This was all rather well-explored in the film Arrival, in which a team of linguists is tasked with deciphering the mysterious language of a decidedly non-humanoid species with a very different language and view of time and space, and within the understanding of which hangs the balance of our survival.

Even within human languages here on Earth we can see how the effects of our sensory abilities, our upbringing, and our perceptions of the world around us can change methods and means of communication. For instance, deaf people use sign language as a means to communicate when the sense of hearing is robbed from them. However, although human languages do all sound very unique and even alien at times, and there are sign languages and whatnot, they are still based on our shared perception of the universe through the same common biology, morphology, anatomy, and physiology, and therefore they follow rules that we can all fathom and which give us at least a chance of reproducing them. With aliens, all bets would be off.

Another important hurdle with differences in physical form would be how we produce and detect sounds, and thereby language, in the first place. For humans we use a vocal tract and our ears, and there is a very finite, set frequency through which we are able to detect the sounds we utter. With aliens they would be working with a whole different set of organs, frequencies, and physiology for speech, that is if they even “spoke” as we know it at all. Their utterances would possibly be made through strange organs for which we have no close approximation or even understanding of, would probably be made at frequencies, vibrations, or cadences that we would not be able to detect or recognize as language, and would be made through a different atmosphere to make it all even worse.

These would be completely non-human sounds, we may not be able to physically discern the distinctions they make, and considering that many animals on our very own planet are thought to be able to speak in language and we are completely in the dark as to what they are saying, this would likely be even more pronounced in something from out beyond the stars. Perhaps impossibly, indecipherably so. Simply put, if we cannot physically detect their sounds and cannot reproduce them, then vocal communication is virtually impossible.

Let’s say, for argument’s sake, that we can get past these obstacles, and that we can hear and be heard by each other in a meaningful way. The problems would still not end there. The very rules of our language and the way they are laid out are all intrinsically linked to our biology and mindset as well. An alien language might not have any of the parts of language that we take for granted, such as verbs, adjectives, and nouns, would possibly not view things such as cause and effect or the passage of time the same as us, and would potentially follow certain internal rules, logic, and structures so different from us that we are unable to even mutually comprehend them. We as humans have shared cognition and linguistic structures, basic psychologies, and features, but aliens cannot be counted upon to do so. Jessica Coon, a professor of linguistics at McGill University in Montreal who was consulted on the film about extraterrestrial communication, Arrival, said of this:

What linguists have discovered about human languages is that even though they can sound very different from one another and their grammars do show a lot of variation…languages tend to fall into certain patterns. Most of the world’s languages fall into one of those patterns or the other. The variation isn’t completely unconstrained. Humans seem to be hardwired for this capacity to learn language. Because it is part of our genetics and part of being human, it’s very unlikely that other creatures would have the same kinds of constraints or show the same kinds of similarities that human languages do. We would just have to hope that we would still be able to recognize patterns and match it up with we’re seeing.

The notable American linguist and cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky has also offered his thoughts on the inherit linguistic problems with trying to talk with extraterrestrial beings with which we have no shared cognitive understanding of how language works. He has said:

If a Martian landed from outer space and spoke a language that violated universal grammar, we simply would not be able to learn that language the way that we learn a human language like English or Swahili. We’re designed by nature for English, Chinese, and every other possible human language. But we’re not designed to learn perfectly usable languages that violate universal grammar.

The formidable challenge this would present can already be seen even among human languages here on our own planet, where there are sometimes things we have no word for, or a lack of a word for something we take for granted. A tropical people might have no word for “snow,” for instance. Some remote, isolated languages are so alien to others that they do not even have words, concepts or phrases for things most speakers of other languages would likely take for granted. For instance, the Pirahã people of the Brazilian Amazon have no words for counting things. It is either “one” or “more than one,” that’s it. They also have no clear words for certain directions such as “left” or “right,” and this is a daunting challenge to understanding them, even though they are human. Imagine a completely non-human entity with even more outlandish rules of language and grammatical idiosyncrasies and you can see how meaningful exchanges could be a problem. Jesse Snedeker, a Harvard psychologist who studies the development of language in children, has said of this:

We know that every child can learn every possible human language. Every child has to have some sort of internal capacity that allows them to learn language. We have to ask ourselves, ‘Would we have the capacity to learn alien language, and would they have the capacity to learn ours?’ And different people would give you very different answers to that question. On the other hand, there’s the argument that any species that achieves a high level of technology would necessarily understand certain concepts, so that ought to provide a basis for at least a limited degree of communication.

This is where we begin to see that all hope is not necessarily lost, and one thing seen as the key to actually being able to start towards communication with aliens is to find some commonality to use as a starting point. A good way to do this would be to have some sort of key, something like the Rosetta Stone, which helped us to decipher ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. This has been an idea tossed around in science fiction before, such as the use of the tones in Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, or the use of prime numbers in Carl Sagan’s book Contact. If we could have some common frame of reference and somewhere to start, then there is the chance we could work towards further meaningful communication.

One of the best ways of doing this has been seen in recent years as being to use mathematics or scientific information such as physics as a sort of “universal language” and starting point. After all, as the laws of physics and reality are the same throughout the universe, then it stands to reason that any advanced society would have a grasp of these things in a similar way, regardless of how we ultimately think about them or express them in language. No matter what our physiological differences or deviations in ways of looking at the world and universe, physics are the same everywhere, and so would be a commonality we could use.

Carl DeVito, an emeritus faculty member in the mathematics department at the University of Arizona in Tucson, believes that although this exchange of scientific information is perhaps the key to communication with aliens, it nevertheless still faces some challenges. First is that the idea that it is still reliant on understanding the aliens’ systems of measurement, as well as relying on the supposition that they can count and do arithmetic as we do, that they recognize the same elements of the periodic table, that they have adequately studied the different states of matter, and that they know enough chemistry to carry out chemical calculations in the same way we do. He also points out that even though the physics would be the same, these extraterrestrials might calculate their rules of motion and mechanics based on their own unique geometry. DeVito has said of this:

The mathematics of motion is differential calculus. Can we assume that an alien race shares this with us? Differential and integral calculus are so fundamental in so many areas of science that it is hard to imagine a science without them. But this is, perhaps, a human bias. We, of course, can’t know, but we must be aware that the physics of an alien race, even in a fundamental area like mechanics, might differ in subtle but important ways from our own.

Using mathematics and physics is nevertheless still seen as a potential way of breaking through our communication barrier, to the point that it is used by those organizations seeking to reach out and make contact, such as SETI. However, even if we can express simple messages to each other with math, there are still the intricacies of culture and thinking that would shape how messages and ideas are expressed and interpreted. Doug Vakoch, the president of Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence, METI, and respected researcher of xenolinguistics, has said of this conundrum thus:

If they can build spacecraft to come to come to Earth, they have to have an understanding of good engineering, physics, science, math. But doing the nitty-gritty work of going back and forth and making guesses at what an alien says, trying to interpret swirls and determining a sentence or concept? It’s hard. Conveying matters. You need flexibility of language with its infinite combinations. Our art and culture — that’s all from language, that’s not from just raw numbers.

In addition to the promise of using math, there is also the hopeful fact that it is possible that the alien’s psyches and physicality are not as different from our own as we may think after all. For instance, on our own planet we can see vastly different organisms that have nevertheless developed strikingly similar ways of dealing with the environment and world around them, such as evolving eyes, ears, legs, wings and similar organs separately across species, often evolving independently or sometimes the same structures multiple times, all in the process called “convergent evolution.”

Perhaps in other areas of the universe extraterrestrials have evolved similarly enough to ourselves, especially an intelligent tool-using one that would have developed communication and technology in the first place, that our mental architectures and languages are not necessarily mutually unintelligible. This theory postulates that there are enough universal elements to how we think and evolve to certain environmental challenges that this would be enough solid ground for us to delve into a basic framework from which further communication would be possible. Making this even more promising still is that with all of the broadcasts we have spewed out into the stars the aliens would potentially have a good enough sampling of our languages and communications to make talking between us easier without having even met us yet, a possibility of which Coon has said:

If you have enough information and enough of the context and the history, I think there’s hope that even without a lot of interaction you could be able to make at least significant progress in understanding the grammar of a language—again depending on how likely we are to be able to understand alien life at all. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if creatures who could make giant spaceships that just show up on Earth could easily figure out our languages from the many broadcasts we put into outer space, and that we might be able to do the same thing with sufficient resources and sufficient information.

One thing that is worth considering is that even if we overcome all of these considerable challenges and are able to communicate, look at us here on Earth. With our different cultures, ways of thinking, values, and linguistic nuances, even communication between us humans can be confusing and difficult, with misunderstandings and gaffes commonplace. How can we hope to resolve these issues with an alien civilization from another star? In the end, we just don’t know. Since we have never made contact with aliens, at least as far as we know, there is no precedent for it, and we cannot possibly know what to expect when such a day comes to pass. It is impossible to know what form these beings will take, how they will think, or how they will communicate. Will it come easy or will we forever remain closed behind mutual doors of incomprehensibility? The answers remain complex, it is all left entirely to speculation and the imagination, and we will only know when we finally make that first contact we have always dreamed of.

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.

Forward these files to your friends and neighbors.

Special Projects

National UFO Reporting Center Director Peter Davenport

The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) is an organization in the States that investigates UFOsightings and/or alien contacts. NUFORC has been in continuous operation since 1974. Peter Davenport has been Director for 23 years, It was founded in 1974 by Robert J. Gribble It has catalogued almost 90,000 reported UFO sightings over its history, most of which were in the United States. In addition to record keeping, the center has provided statistics and graphs to assist others looking for information. UFO reports can be accessed, index by state, index by shape of ufo and index by date posted.

The current director, Peter Davenport, has not claimed that any two phenomena are identical, but has catalogued flying saucers, colored lights, and triangles, throughout the years. Davenport describes himself as a UFO believer, but skeptic, and has been praised by many as providing a valuable service in the field.

Peter says the “Phoenix Lights” event! “It was, in my opinion, one of the two or three most dramatic, and well-documented UFO sighting events in the history of Ufology.”

Phoenix Lights Incident

Phoenix — On March 13, l997, many Arizona residents reported that they had been witness to one, or more, apparently very large craft in the night sky.” v the “Phoenix Lights” event! It was, in my opinion, one of the two or three most dramatic, and well-documented UFO sighting events in the history of Ufology.

“In a recent telephone call I had with Peter Davenport the Director of the National Reporting Center, he revealed that several hours after the “Phoenix Lights” event had concluded, he was telephoned by an individual who identified himself as an Airman in the U. S. Air Force, and that he had been involved that night in providing ground support involving an intercept of at least one of the objects over Phoenix. The photograph of the string of lights, in my opinion, may well be a photo of flares, released over the Barry M. Goldwater Firing Range at Gila Bend, AZ, perhaps to serve as a diversion, following the appearance of the immense triangular craft over Phoenix earlier that night. Those lights first appeared well after the original event had long since ended.

The airman from Luke Air Force Base claimed he just helped launch two McDonnell-Douglas F-15c fighter aircraft to intercept the large Phoenix flying object at 2035 hrs.

Peter Davenport writes, The most important parts of that event, in my view, is that two F-15 C’s intercepted one of the 5 or 6 objects that loitered over the Phoenix area. The object was at approximately 9,000 feet AGL at the time, and the object being intercepted subtended an arc of approximately 135 degree, as viewed from the ground, at the moment of intercept. Upon returning to Luke AFB, the lead pilot reported that the object in front of his aircraft filled his canopy and windscreen, extending from his 9:00 o’clock position to his 3:00 o’clock position, and at the end of the intercept, all the lights on the object suddenly dimmed to extinction, and the radar screen on his instrument panel went to “white noise”…it apparently was made totally nonfunctional and useless. The pilots indicated the craft was several miles wide. “I witnessed a massive delta-shaped craft silently navigate over Squaw Peak, a mountain range in Phoenix, Arizona.

The two F-15’s returned to Luke AFB at approximately 20:40 hrs. (local), at which time the lead pilot reportedly had to be helped out of his cockpit by members of his ground crew…he apparently was unable to exit the cockpit by himself. As he was being helped by those personnel, the pilot recounted to them what the pilot had just been through during the intercept.

One member of the ground crew was ordered to collect several (six?) videos from both F-15s’ cockpits and LANTIRN-II pods, and race them at a dead run to a T-39 that was waiting nearby, with engines running. The airman tossed the tapes or discs into the T-39, (shown) at which time its loading door was hurriedly closed, and the aircraft taxied to the active runway and took off into the night.

Later that day, the same airman who had first called me, called me again to report that he had just come from his commander’s (colonel’s) office, where he…the airman…had just been informed that he was being transferred to a base in Greenland, and that he would be at his new base within 24 hours.

The caller asserted that he had just been personal witness to an intercept of a very large craft by two U. S. Air Force directly above downtown Phoenix, Arizona, at approximately 2035 hrs. on Thursday, March 13, 1997.

Ten years afterward, the 19th Governor of Arizona from 1991-1997.

Fife Symington wrote on CNN about the Phoenix Lights Story discussing various UFO sightings and incidents. Symington, a former Air Force officer, said it did not look like a man-made object. And he ruled out the Air Force assertion that the object was high-altitude flares. It was truly breathtaking. I was absolutely stunned because I was turning to the west looking for the distant Phoenix Lights,” Symington wrote. “To my astonishment this apparition appeared; this dramatically large, very distinctive leading edge with some enormous lights was traveling through the Arizona sky.” “I was never happy with the Air Force’s silly explanation. There might very well have been military flares in the sky that evening, but what I and hundreds of others saw had nothing to do with that,” he wrote.

“We want the government to stop putting out stories that perpetuate the myth that all UFOs can be explained away in down-to-earth conventional terms.

Venus a Planet is Like Earth

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and our closest planetary neighbor. Similar in structure and size to Earth, Venus spins slowly in the opposite direction most planets do. NASA claims its thick atmosphere traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. Glimpses below the clouds reveal volcanoes and deformed mountains.

Venus is named for the ancient Roman goddess of love and beauty, the counterpart to the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Venus has a central core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust. At the surface, the rocks are different shades of grey, like rocks on Earth, but the thick atmosphere filters the sunlight so that everything would look orange if you were standing on Venus. Venus is one of just two planets that rotate from east to west. Only Venus and Uranus have this “backwards” rotation. It completes one rotation in 243 Earth days — the longest day of any planet in our solar system, even longer than a whole year on Venus. This infrared view of Venus was acquired by the Japanese Akatsuki spacecraft’s IR2 camera, which observes—among other things—the “warmth” of the planet’s atmosphere on its nocturnal side. This image of great detail shows what seems to be a turbulent boundary (dark area saw tooth).

Chemtrails are produced on Earth to cool the planet, it seems logical that the 25 mile thick clouds and atmosphere protecting Venus would cause the temperatures to diminish. However, NASA claims the clouds cause temperatures to rise to 800 degrees. Conversely Soviet scientists report temperatures of 30C/86 F. in a polar area and clouds 25 miles thick with heavy water vapor and oxygen in the lower atmosphere..

When visiting the Pentagon for a Joint Chiefs of Staff speaker’s job, I was told there was a alien from Venus staying there and I asked to meet him but was refused. Venusian’s could live underground or the temperatures are closer to that on Earth. There are numerous visitors and humans who claim to have been to Venus. On May 2, 1957 radio signals were picked up from Venus on 3.15 centimeters by Ohio State University that continued on other frequencies and for months.

Venus as the Point of Origin

So how can we be so sure that the majority of these extraterrestrials being witnessed throughout the 1950s actually hailed from the second planet of our solar system? Our sister and cloud-shrouded planet Venus as the origination point of the elusive flying saucers was indicated by the observed beings themselves in many ways. The famous inventor Nicola Tesla claimed to be from Venus has have many lesser known persons.

Venus Rising A Concise History of the Second Planet

I spent an afternoon with Raymond Keller PhD who is charming and has surprising knowledge of Venus and its history.

Paranormal expert and popular speaker, Dr. Raymond Keller, brings together the impact Venus has on our culture.

His book Venus Rising explores many facets of conditions and life on Venus in many dimensions from a perspective of conspiracies, history, theosophy, ufology and current events, especially space research. Dr. Keller has lived and worked in 44 different countries and has been writing about UFOs and paranormal activity since 1967. He was the founder and director of the Outer Space International Research and Investigations Society (OSIRIS) of Hilmar, California, as well as the publisher and co-editor of the New Millennial Star, a monthly pre-Internet tabloid newspaper. London Book Festival Honorable Mention
Southern California Book Festival Honorable Mention

What People Say

The book is well written and scholarly, with detailed attention to various sources of information. This writer commends the author, Dr. Raymond Andrew Keller, II, Ph.D., for a Big Beautiful Book. Welcome, Dear Reader! May you enjoy the journey. — R. Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Counseling Services, University of Wyoming

The really controversial part of the book is the study of Venus in relation to the UFO enigma and contemporary claims of contact with people from other planets, especially Venus. Most mainstream “scientific” ufologists dismiss the first generation 1950s and 60s contactees as frauds and cultists, but my 40+ years of research into contactee cases indicates that some of these individuals actually were in contact with a group of benevolent alien visitors, trying to influence our culture at a critical time in history. Venus Rising is a comprehensive and exciting scholarly endeavor that can inspire further research into this most fascinating subject. —Håkan Blomqvist, Librarian and co-founder of Archives for the Unexplained (AFU), Sweden

In these pages, Dr. Keller reveals that on a personal level we have probably experienced frequent encounters with Venusians, without even realizing it. He blows the cover off the biggest secret that only a handful of powerful individuals know in the highest echelons of officialdom, that space people from Venus look almost exactly like us, but more beautiful/handsome, have infiltrated human society in all nations and have been visiting the Earth since prehistoric times. If you ever had any questions about Venus or Venusians, you will find the answers in this book.—Michael A. LaRiche, Director, Coast-to-Coast A.M. Radio Discussion Groups Northeast, Ohio

I spent several hours with Dr. Raymond A. Keller PhD from West Virginia University who has spoken to numerous contactees and aliens who claimed to be from Venus. Apparently, Venus could be habitable except NASA claims the temperature is very high. While temperatures on Mars are too cold for life. Actual temperature measurements on Mars near the equator were recorded at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. According to Dr. Keller temperatures on Venus are about 75 degrees.

The Soviet Venero 9 spacecraft landed and took this photo of the surface of Venus on October 20, 1975,. A Venusian named Val Thor claimed most people lived underground in huge lava tubes on Venus.

Collecting Biological Samples

Apparently, the Venusians are interested in collecting samples of the Earth’s rich biodiversity. Perhaps they may have a dual motivation in this. The first motivation may simply be food gathering, as in the case above with the harvesting of berries in Norway. The second motivation may be the collection of diverse plant and other life forms for transport to Venus, where they might be safeguarded and propagated for eventual re-introduction or re-transplant on the Earth, following some expected environmental apocalypse in our future. Let’s hope that my first suggested motivation is the prevailing one.

Another example of such biological reconnaissance occurred just one month later in Portugal, when three aluminum-suited men climbed out of a flying saucer to do some picking among the flowers and shrubs on a mountaintop near the village of Almaseda, located in the Serra de Guardnha range. The alien beings and their craft were seen by local resident Cesar Cardoso and three other men from the village. Cardoso described all three of the UFO occupants to a reporter from Lisbon’s Diario De Lisboa newspaper as being over six feet tall. A few days later, the story was picked up by the Auckland, New Zealand Star newspaper of 29 September 1954. Cardoso said that the three aluminum-suited extraterrestrials were “cutting flowers, shrubbery and twigs and putting them in a shining box.”
Cesar Cardoso and his friends from the Portuguese mountain village politely declined the offer for them to step inside the Venusians scout ship. See https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/adamski-venusian-scout-3d-3ds/313047.

Cardoso was the only one in his group of four that dared approach the three alien men. One of them dropped what he was doing in the bushes and came over to talk with Cardoso. The alien asked the Portuguese gentleman, in his own language, “Would you or any of your companions like to enter into our scout ship?”

With that, Cardoso sauntered back over to his friends and asked them, “The visitor wants to know if any of us would like to get aboard the flying saucer.” Shaking in their mountain boots, no one was too keen on the idea.

Moving again into the presence of the extraterrestrial, Cardoso said, “I’m sorry, Sir, but nobody wants to go in there at this time. They are all just too frightened.”

“I can understand that,” said the alien, “giving the way your Hollywood productions generally portray the inhabitants of other planets.”

Cardoso told the Lisbon reporter that the extraterrestrial did not insist, but kindly assured him at that time that, “We aren’t really the monsters you may think us to be. We come to Earth with the purest intentions of love and peace, thinking only of a better future for you and your families. Unfortunately, that future may be some time off.”

He and the others then climbed into their scout ship and “flew off vertically at a terrific speed, emitting a shower of sparks” in the process.
(Stay tuned to this website of phantomsandmonsters.com for Part III of Dr. Keller’s “Venusian’ Spaceships Are Landing!” The Venus expert, Cosmic Ray, will explore further Venusian concerns as well as the California connection with more spectacular Venusian contacts. You won’t want to miss it!)
Venus Rising: A Concise History of the Second Planet

Demons

For thousands of years demons were thought to exist and are prevalent in many religions and in our world. Sconce for years has ridiculed belief in various supernatural entities. A demon is a supernatural and often malevolent being prevalent in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology and folklore. In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the Abraham traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered a harmful spiritual entity, below the heavenly.

In response to an unsettling increase in demand for exorcisms in Italy, the Vatican has announced plans for a new course to better train priests to perform the practice. Often alien entities are described as spirits, so there may be a connection it that some aliens do not have human’s best interests. I have seen exorcisms and the possessed person had strength and knowledge of ancient foreign languages far beyond a normal person.

The week-long event to be held in April was detailed by Italian priest and exorcist Benign Palilla in an interview with Vatican Radio. According to Palilla, requests for exorcisms from the Church have skyrocketed in Italy over the last few years with experts estimating an astounding 500,000 such cases being reported. Although the priest acknowledged that not all of these events are genuinely connected to an actual possession, he cautioned that the jaw-dropping number of exorcisms indicated that there is some sort of sinister surge happening. Additionally, there has been an increase in UFO reports and sightings of alien visitors.

As to what may be behind this spike, Palilla pointed to the popularity of fortune tellers, tarot card readers and other soothsaying mystics in Italy. He warned that partaking in such ‘sorcery’ unwittingly “opens the door to the devil and possession.” Additionally, Palilla expressed concern that the whopping number of exorcism cases in the country has led to inexperienced priests being enlisted to perform the ritual.

New priests are not taught about the phenomenon of possession leaving newcomers overwhelmed when they are called to confront the issue. By holding this new course on exorcism, Palilla hopes to strip away some of the sensationalism surrounding exorcisms and better prepare priests for the various cases they may encounter.

Many criminals claim they are controlled by demons. Interestingly Nikolas Cruz the Florida school shooter claims that on February 17, 2018, ‘demon voices’ told him to slaughter 17. He opened fire on defenseless students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. as cops reveal they were called to his home 39 times.

The New York Post reports, Cruz the deranged gunman told investigators that “demons” told him how to unleash the massacre..

Law enforcement sources told abc news that Nikolas Cruz, 19, said the voices in his head gave him instructions on how to carry out the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. Law enforcement sources told ABC News that Nikolas Cruz, 19, said the voices in his head gave him instructions on how to kill Nikolas Cruz stated, ‘I wanna die killing s*** ton of people.”

Cruz suffered from depression for years. I know he did have some issues and he may have been taking medication. [He] did have some kind of emotional problems or difficulties,” His step mother Lynda had sought counseling for Nikolas at a young age and it is felt he was taking prescription drugs. Bill Nelson said on MSNBC that Cruz wore a gas mask and had smoke grenades. “He set off the fire alarm so the kids would come out into the hallways and thus he had the opportunity with a crowded hallway to start picking off people.”

The school resource officer Scot Peterson and three other responding deputy sheriffs did not enter the school while Cruz was shooting the students. Their failure to enter the school to stop the shooter is under investigation. Sheriff Scott Israel said Cruz fired into five classrooms, four on the first floor and one on the second floor, before failing g to shoot out a hurricane strength window where he could have killed many more. He then dropped his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle purchased legally a year ago and fled. He was able to blend in with students running away from the violence.

BenTheBondsman, revealed he had reported to the FBI a comment under one of his previous Cruz videos that read: “I’m going to be a professional school shooter”. The name of the commenter matched Cruz’s. The agency confirmed it was aware of the report. Other comments left by the same account included: “I want shoot people with my AR-15”; ”I wanna die Fighting killing s**t ton of people”; and ”I am going to kill law enforcement one day they go after the good people”. Thanks to ABC. We send our prayers to the families and those involved.

Russia’s New Fighter in Syria

A video has emerged purportedly showing two Su-57s operating from Russia’s Khmeimim Airbase in Syria. If genuine, the video will have documented the fifth-generation fighter’s first combat drill.

A video published on the Facebook group ‘Syrian Military Capabilities’ purports to show the brand new Russian aircraft in the skies over Syria. Although the two warplanes appear to look similar to the Su-57, RT cannot verify the authenticity of the video. Russia on Thursday reportedly deployed its advanced Su-57 stealth fighter to Syria, further complicating an environment that the head of Air Combat Command said was already extremely complex. However, USAF pilots flying in support of Operation Inherent Resolve are prepared for scenarios they might face, ACC boss Gen. Mike Holmes said

We Are Not Alone show reminder

March 6, 2018: from 1 – 2 PM: Tuesday Forum. We Are Not Alone.

Skeptics and debunkers like to put ghosts, Bigfoot, and the leprechauns, elves and fairies of ancient folklore in the same basket as UFOs in an effort to marginalize the phenomenon. However, researcher Stephen Ward makes a compelling case that all of these things do indeed belong together – not as an attempt to belittle the UFO phenomenon but instead to better substantiate its origin. Tune in to the discussion this Tuesday, March 6 at 1PM. EST. Remember after the broadcast this show is available as a podcast from this website: click on Talk Shows–Tuesday Forum–(select date).

Filer’s Files #9 – 2018 Venus Is Earth Like - PART II

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Light

Sonotia — My son and I were camping at Parker Lake on February 19, 2018, looking for a break in the cloud cover around 6 am. I spotted a light below clouds 3 miles south that moved to less than a mile very quickly. The light pulsed from bright to dark in three phases.

I took 3 photos before my phone failed. It had a grid on the screen that I have not ever seen before. After the light went dark for the last time the phone worked normally. My truck stalled three times when I started it around 10 am to leave. Around home it stalled again and would not start. The fuel pump was affected, I removed it and ran a direct current to it and it started to work again. The object was due south and traveled 3 miles north in an instant.. There were no vehicles moving anywhere. It went from very bright to almost dark. It continued this cycle for 30 minutes before going completely dark at which time my phone began to function normally again. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Object

Fort Bragg — I see these orb UFOs all the time. Since the end of January 2018, I have seen them every clear night. I see between 1 and 10 of these orbs and occasionally will see other crafts. I’ve been keeping a ufo log for the last 6 years.
On February 10, 2018, 5 were seen
at 6:20 pm. One large orb came from top of Orion. Saw two more small ones. Then from the west at about 7:05 saw very large yellow orb, that came straight at me and flew right over my head!. Got lots photos, It went behind the large trees and disappeared. I saw one every night for 6 days straight.. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Object

Naples — Driving north on CR 951, I saw the object moving across the sky on February 28, 2018.

. I thought maybe it was an ad banner or something, but it seemed to change speed and shape. I took pictures while driving then the object disappeared into the clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mississippi Cylinder

Olive Branch — On January 2, 2018, my husband (former airline pilot with 22,000 hours) and I were traveling on Lamar Ext. (Hwy. 78), heading to Memphis just before the Tennessee line, I witnessed two cylindrical objects or shadows moving vertically over the face of a full wolf moon. My husband viewed one, and I viewed both. #2 was higher than #1. He was driving and #2 was out of the bright face of the moon and could no longer be seen when he observed #1. Once the objects or shadows were out of the bright face of the moon, they were no longer visible. Other people viewed this I am sure. If they did, I urge them to speak up.” Thanks Peter Davenport www.ufocenter.com

Missouri Lights

Independence — My husband and three young boys were driving home at about 11:30 PM, on February 28, 2015. I happened to look to NW sky to point the moon out to our kids and saw 5 rectangular columns of light below the cloud deck. They were bright but transparent.
1. They seemed to be free standing but not a spotlight beam. There was absolutely NO connecting beam from the bottom of the columns to the ground.
2. The columns of light do not bounce off the cloud deck.
3. In the full hour these were observed, they did not change in size, movement, shape, pulsate, or location.. Later, I went outside to find them in the same place and unchanged. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nevada Lights

Las Vegas — My fiancée and I were driving home after picking up food on February 23, 2018, and noticed 3 lights in the sky which from a distance, at first glance. It appeared to be 3 planes flying in unison. Once the craft came closer and as we got a better view, we saw it was one massive craft. I took my phone out and tried to video it. We were moving so it was difficult to capture. The craft made no noise and at its lowest altitude appeared to be around 1,000 ft. It stopped and hovered abruptly and then continued on its path west towards Red Rock. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Disc

Doug writes he was driving 55 mph on Route 3 and spotted something about a mile away. As I got loser I took out my phone camera and took a photo.

It was a total dry summer day but naysayers claim it it’s a drop of water. But it was a flying disc. Thanks to Doug Auld Artist

Oregon Object

Eugene — I’m in direct contact with these beings. They constantly hover over my apartment complex or wherever I am as they did on February 26, 2018. This particular event I heard it hovering over me and sent my boyfriend out to see what it was. Upon my boyfriend exiting the residence he rushed back inside and told me it was a saucer shaped UFO hovering over us. I could hear it flying away and got it on video. We are living on the top floor of a 3 story apartment complex. As I started recording is when it started picking up speed. I lost sight of it as it flew over buildings and out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Astronaut Sees Texas Orange Orbs

North Texas — About 10:15 pm on July 5, 2017, my family and I were sitting outside. When I looked up into the sky, I saw a fairly large orange glowing orb moving rapidly overhead right about 90 degrees of elevation on July 1, 2013 .
It moved from east to west (retrograde, so was not a satellite) and lasted about a minute. The brightness did not seem to change other than dimming as it moved away from us. The visual angle subtended an arc of about 120 degrees across the sky. About one or two minutes later, we saw a group of three similar objects along the same flight path as the first one. My daughter used an iPhone to take video, but it is fairly dark and hard to distinguish the objects. About 3 minutes later two more objects passed overhead, again on the same flight path. There was no sound from the objects. It appeared as if they were glowing from heating up the atmosphere. They moved much faster than orbital satellites or airplanes, but much slower than meteors and did not change brightness as a meteor would upon entering the atmosphere. I am a retired military fighter pilot, retired commercial airline pilot and former astronaut. I have no explanation for what we saw.
((NUFORC Note: Report submitted by former U. S. astronaut. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and we suspect that he is a superlative, and highly qualified, witness. PD)) Thanks Peter Davenport www.ufocenter.com

Washington Object

Marysville — I was on my front porch photographing Red tail Hawks on March 1, 2018, and visually scanned the treetops when I noticed a rapidly moving glint way off in the distance between the treetops. I took a photograph. By the time I got my camera to refocus, It was nowhere to be seen. At first I thought it was just another jetliner off in the distance but it left no contrail and it was traveling faster than aircraft fly. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Shadow

Taking pictures of the moon with a Nikon P900, I did not notice until checking the memory card on the computer.

The photo was taken of a strange shadow on moon or near earth on November 27, 2017. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Brazil Sphere

Porto Alegre — My name is Marco Solano and I’m sending a photos I took on December 2, 2017. I took 3 photos from the terrace of a 14 story building where a business event was taking place. Between my cell phone and the horizon above other buildings there are no windows. One thing appeared in a photo. Using ZOOM, an “unidentified” “object” appears where there was nothing a minute before as I looking at a building where I lived when single. I used my Samsung J2 Galaxy Prime G532MT.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Orb

Oshawa, Ontario — I have once again witnessed two UFO sightings on February 25,2018. Not sure if it was the same one doing a 180 back and forth. Attached are the picture enhancements of what was witnessed and filmed. Here’s what I observed on Sunday, February 25,2018, while outside on my deck. I was having a tea admiring a clear sky. After some minutes I noticed a very high bright roundish object in amber white light at 4:55 pm. The object came overhead from the east heading westward over Whitby, Ontario. I ran in the house to return outside in 30 – 40 seconds with my camera but it gone!

Four minutes later a bright white glistening object came towards my position from the west that I snapped to film this unknown. It crossed directly above me heading east at 5:00 pm. This is my first UFO sighting for 2018. Thanks to Paul Shishis

Chili Cylinder

Los Lagos — Here are some of our photos, recently captured on January 16th in the interior of the city of Los Lagos, inside the capital of the Region of Los Ríos, city of Valdivia. It happened that taking a batch of photos to upload to the network of rural sector Folilco-Las Huellas, I took a photo twice of the alleged object that can be seen on the right side.
This happened at 20:57 seconds so I made a second take 4 seconds later.

My idea was to photograph a cloud at the bottom of the valley that crosses the Las Huellas sector, located 24 km from Los Lagos to Riñihue, entering by sector Folilco. Since I used a XVision table that has only a front camera, I did not see what I was photographing. This was at 2 am and I was so surprised! Thanks to MUFON CMS

China Object

Beijing – – On March 14, 2017, an unknown flying object was seen flying over clear sky at 4:57 PM (GMT +0800). The camera was pointed to the West direction.

The author’s place was around 4-5 kilometers to the center of Beijing city–Tiananmen Square or The Imperial Palace, where air traffic is totally forbidden.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Columbia Object

Manizales Mountains — I was travelling from Manizales to Bogota, at a point of the mountain you could see a spectacular view of the country below. I stopped to take a picture of the landscape on November18, 2017. I took out my phone and recorded a short video, and two quick photos of the scenery. When I got home I saw in the first picture a dark object of an egg shape. The second picture had a more triangular shape. Thanks to MUFON CMS

France Flying Balls

MÃ©rindol — It was 1931 hours, and I started watching two orange balls on February 13, 2018. I took my cell phone and took a picture. (I was shaking). Two minutes later there were now 5 balls. The balls headed together, getting closer to each other and I felt these were certainly unidentified flying objects The 4 balls flew east all together until the 5th appeared.

After seeing this, I continued my journey home, while watching what it was going to produce. The 5th ball was still there while his friends were already gone, then the 5th ball disappeared like a simple snap of a finger, like on a switch turned off.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Germany Disc

Stuttgart — We were at the zoo and apparently there were several round objects around the treetops on October 5, 2017.

Did not notice what we had till recently we were looking at our Germany pictures.

Photo taken in March 2016. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Portugal Objects

Lisbon — I was taking pictures of this fortress called Forte do Guincho, near Cascais, Lisbon.
I didn’t notice the object until I saw the picture. I took one in the same place less than a minute before and another a minute after and the object does not appear before and after.
When I saw it I thought of a cigar shape UFO.
I only can describe it as something clear cigar shape, very high in the sky, grey. I would like to know what can it be…a plane, or UFO? What do you think about it? Thanks to MUFON CMS

Spain Sphere

I was taking pictures of some clouds on February 9, 2018, that formed a storm. When editing on the computer I saw this spherical object.

UFO Wingnuts Confuse a Fallen Boulder for a Crashed Alien Spacecraft

UFO Wingnuts Confuse a Fallen Boulder for a Crashed Alien Spacecraft

George Dvorsky

Crashed UFO, or a landslide runout trail?Image: Google Earth

There’s a viral video making the rounds showing the site of an apparent crashed UFO on the remote island of South Georgia. On closer inspection, however, the object’s true identify is something considerably more banal: It’s just a stupid rock that fell from a nearby mountain.

The video was produced by Secureteam10, and it’s amassed 1.58 million views since being posted on March 3rd. It claims to show a UFO that crashed on South Georgia, which is located about 2,500 miles (4,150 km) from the Antarctic Peninsula. “Unknown Object Leaves Trail of Mystery in Antarctic,” proclaims the introductory text, as if we’re watching a trailer for John Carpenter’s The Thing.

Using Google Earth, the video’s narrator, Tyler Glockner, takes us on a journey in-and-around the purported crash site, saying the snow-covered object appears “to be some sort of massive, elongated, or cigar-shaped object that at some point—and we don’t know when—came to a screeching halt in the snow leaving behind it almost a thousand-meter-long trail.”

He points to “some damage that has been done to the side of [a nearby mountain] where we can see this wave of debris extending outwards from the mountain itself, with the main object and trail coming out of it, smashing its way in a very sharp trail,” adding that it “doesn’t look like your typical trail made by a snowball or a ... piece of ice tumbling and rolling across the hillside.” Glockner says the object must be something artificial—likely a spacecraft measuring some 63 meters (206 feet) in length.

The snow-covered object, and the trail leading back to the mountain.

Image: Google Earth

SecureTeam claims to be “your source for alien & UFO related videos, leaks and information,” but in this case they’ve clearly fancied themselves as geologists. Thankfully, we have a real geologist in the form of The Landslide Blog’s Dave Petley to set the record straight. Aside from pointing out the rather obvious trajectory problem of the alleged UFO in relation to the “damaged” mountain, Petley says the object in the video is very clearly a boulder that has fallen from that very same mountain

The debris field, or landslide deposit, trailing from the nearby mountain. Image: Google Earth

The smoking gun in this case is the clearcut presence of a landslide deposit directly above the object in question. As Petley writes at his blog:

Of course the runout trail is quite unusual. I am not sure if a block has detached from within the mass, and then moved downslope, or if it tumbled onto the mass from above, and then slid. If I was a betting man (and I am not) I might go for the latter explanation, but without a more detailed investigation I am speculating. But either way this is conventional landslide behaviour on snow and ice covered surfaces, and we have seen other large isolated boulders travel long distances. In this case the elongate shape of the block favoured sliding rather than rolling, but as the friction of the substrate is low the distance travelled can be large.

Nice try, Secureteam10—but you’ve clearly stumbled upon a fallen boulder. Sadly, and as the YouTube video’s corresponding comments section demonstrates, science that interferes with wishful thinking tends to be dismissed by the UFO asshats who are easily swayed by these sorts of arguments.

The truth is UP there? Triangular UFO filmed flying low in the night sky could be the 'best evidence ever' for alien life

The truth is UP there? Triangular UFO filmed flying low in the night sky could be the 'best evidence ever' for alien life

Alien enthusiasts believe this video is confirmation of TR-3B crafts being used
A TR-3B is alleged to be a US government alien surveillance aircraft
TR-3Bs were suspected to be developed under a 'black project' which theorists claim is funded by money unaccounted for in official government budgets

By Charlotte Dean For Mailonline

This clip of a triangular UFO flying through the air has been dubbed the 'best evidence ever' for proof of extraterrestrial life.

The bizarre object soars through the skies from an unknown location in the US and UFO enthusiasts believe that it could be a TR-3B, the alleged surveillance aircraft of the United States Air Force.

Theorists have been quick to point ut that the footage shows a craft with three lights at each point that do not flash.

Planes have to have blinking lights by regulation which has led people to believe that it is something out of this world.

The object appears to be moving left to right at high speed as it is it filmed by a dashcam.

The YouTube description read: 'On the 26 of January this amazing video was shot from a dashboard camera.

'The footage captured a TR-3B UFO in mid-air and it might be the best evidence ever of the TR-3B UFO ever.

'The triangular object is coming in from the left of the screen and you can see that this object doesn't have any blinking lights like a normal airplane should have

This clip of a triangular UFO flying through the air has been dubbed the 'best evidence ever' for proof of extraterrestrial life

'It is flying at a very low altitude which is very strange for a normal airplane.'

The TR-3B was suspected to be developed under a 'black project', which allegedly use money unaccounted for in official government budgets.

Conspiracy theorists conclude that the craft is able to fly into space and report back to the US government.

The allegations suggests that these ships are created at top-secret military bases such as Area 51 in Nevada, by reverse engineering alien technology.

Viewers have claimed that this video is evidence that the 'TR-3B' is being used by the government to monitor aliens.

One posted on YouTube: 'I believe this to be reversed engineering from NASA or the Military Industrial Complex.

'Most objects we see in our skies nowadays are human made, but there is a small percentage that are unexplained.'

And another added: 'Of course it's a TR-3B, the US built about 60 of them.

'It's powered by nuclear energy and it's a military spy plane.'

However there is yet to be solid evidence proving that this was a TR-3B.

Founder of ufofinterest.org Scott Brando, told the Express he believes the video is a hoax due to anomalies with the 'motion tracking'.

He added that landing lights of planes can also make a triangle shape when filmed at night.

Theorists have been quick to point out that the footage shows a craft with three lights at each point that do not flash

SEARCH FOR LIFE FOCUSES ON MARS, MOONS OF JUPITER AND SATURN—AND EARTH

SEARCH FOR LIFE FOCUSES ON MARS, MOONS OF JUPITER AND SATURN—AND EARTH

BY MEGHAN BARTELS

It's a good time for aliens—or rather, for tiny critters here on Earth that scientists think might look an awful lot like aliens. That's thanks to three recent papers evaluating some of the weirdest, most hardy terrestrial life we know of and considering how it might fare in extraterrestrial environments.

Our first stop on the trip is to our next door neighbor, Mars. The Red Planet is dry, salty and experiences dramatic temperature swings—much like the Atacama Desert in Chile, where it hardly ever rains.

But when a deluge fell on the desert in 2015, scientists watched as the desert suddenly came to life. So a team sampled all the bacteria they could find and sequenced their DNA—and realized the critters had been there all along, biding their time until they could thrive. And if they can do it here, there's no reason to think similar microbes might not take the same approach on Mars.

Much farther out in the solar system is a frozen moon with a very different environment—Europa, which hides a giant ocean tucked away under an icy crust. Scientists don't know for sure what's going on under there, but they wanted to do a little thought experiment.

So they took one of the weirdest bacteria scientists have ever discovered, which was found at the bottom of a South African gold mine, where it forms communities all by itself and without ever receiving energy from the sun. Then, they decided to try to figure out whether the microbe could survive off nuclear energy beneath Europa's crust—and found it likely would make itself at home.

Finally, Saturn has a frozen moon much like Europa, called Enceladus. But this moon has an extra trick: It spits giant plumes of hot water and gas out into space. That makes it surprisingly convenient for scientists to figure out what's in all the water trapped under the icy crust—they can just fly a spacecraft through the plumes. That's how they know there's plenty of methane to be found on Enceladus.

And that's intriguing because we have here on Earth a class of primitive organisms that create methane. So in another new study, scientists created Enceladus-like conditions here in a laboratory and looked to see how these critters responded. Again, their results were pretty heartening for those hoping for alien life.

Of course, none of these experiments actually confirm extraterrestrial life, they just keep our options open. They don't even narrow down where we would find it, since there are other strong contenders—Saturn's moon Titan, which has a thick hazy atmosphere, is another likely candidate. That's why the only way to know where we'll find life first is to keep looking.

NASA Is Hiding Evidence Of Life On Mars Claims Scientists Who Says Has Evidence

NASA Is Hiding Evidence Of Life On Mars Claims Scientists Who Says Has Evidence

Evidence of alien life is being covered up by NASA, according to a researcher from Buckingham University.

NASA is hiding fossil footprints of extraterrestrial activity on the surface of Mars, said Barry DiGregorio, who works at the Center for Astrobiology at the University of Buckingham (United Kingdom) and plans to publish a report promising to reveal all hidden details to the public.

DiGregorio plans to release a ‘bombshell report’ which will reveal, once and for all, how NASA is well aware of this discovery, and how the American Space Agency has chosen to keep the truth hidden from the public.

According to NASA, these are most likely crystals, while a scientist from the Center for Astrobiology at the University of Buckingham claims they may be trace fossils.

According to the researcher, who has already been dubbed as a ‘controversial scientist’ by numerous internet new outlets, NASA might be ignoring the discovery because of its plans for a manned mission to Mars in the 2030’s.

However, despite the fact that Dr. DiGregorio plans to reveal the truth to the public, NASA says that the shapes captured in the images from Mars which DiGregorio claims are evidence of alien activity are nothing more than rock crystals that are still being investigated.

DiGregorio specializes in studies of microscopic life found on Earth.

The expert argues how some of the images beamed back by the Curiosity rover show clear evidence of patterns similar to Ordovician trace fossils found on Earth.

According to the researcher from the University of Buckingham, there’s evidence of trace fossils on Mars.

These are made as living beings go on about their lives, leaving behind footprints like burros and waste, rather than the remains of the creatures themselves.

DiGregorio believes how the fossils on Mars may represent evidence of soft-bodied creatures that may have once existed on the surface of the red planet.

According to Dr. DiGregorio, fossils on Mars represent signs of soft-bodied creatures which may have roamed its surface in the distant past. This image shows trackways from a slug-like animal, dating back from the Cambrian period, found in Blackberry Hill, central Wisconsin.

In an interview with the Daily Express, the researcher explained:

“If not trace fossils, what other geological explanations will Nasa come up with?”

“Nasa has turned its back on trying to get the data on this. The order came down from HQ that they should move the rover on to the next point. They didn’t feel it was important enough to look at, I thought that was very odd, despite the fact Gale Crater was host to probably a series of lakes for billions and billions of years. We’re talking about something that might have been equivalent to the Ordovician period on Earth.”

NASA, on the other hand, claims how DiGregorio’s discovery is most likely crystals.

“The crystals theory does not add up. The crystals do not branch or twist. We are talking about something that could have been similar to the Ordovician period on Earth,” he said in reference to the geological period that occurred between 485 and 444 million years ago.

A mineral vein with bright and dark portions distinguishes this Martian rock target, called “Rona,” near the upper edge of “Vera Rubin Ridge” on Mount Sharp. The MAHLI camera on NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover took the image after the rover brushed the dust off the gray area, roughly 2 inches by 3 inches.

The agency ordered Curiosity, claims the British scientist, to continue its journey without meticulously studying the ‘fossils’ found in the Gale crater area, which was supposed to be a lake area billions of years ago.

And despite being called out for his claims, DiGregorio isn’t the only one who believes there could have been living on the surface of Mars.

In the past, numerous claims have been made about Mars and how the red planet may have been inhabited at one point.

Dr. John Brandenburg, for example, is another scientist who claims that Mars was home to alien life.

However, and unlike DiGregorio, Dr. Brandenburg indicates that Mars was once home to complex alien life, rather than simple soft-bodied creatures, as proposed by DiGregorio.

Professor Stephen Hawking Says Knows What Existed Before The Big Bang

According to the latest comments made by Professor Stephen Hawking, Before the Big Bang, time existed in a bent state that was distorted along another dimension.

The famous theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has an answer to the enigma of what existed before the Big Bang, the beginning of the Universe, 13,800 million years ago.

In an interview with his colleague Neil deGrasse Tyson in the TV show ‘Star Talk‘ broadcasted on the National Geographic Channel, Hawking explained what existed before the universe.

“The boundary condition of the universe…is that it has no boundary,” Hawking said.

According to this theory, the history of the universe is not a flat line but a four-dimensional, curved object, “just as the surface of the Earth, but with two more dimensions,” Hawking said. As explained by Professor Hawking, the Big Bang was practically the formation as we today understand as ‘time,’ since this event, 13,800 million years ago, broke the known laws of physics. It also means that anything that may have existed before the event, simply cannot be applied to our understanding of time and existence.

In other words, Professor Hawking argues that there isn’t really anything such as ‘a time before the big bang’.

Professor Hawking added that one can regard imaginary and normal space-time as beginning at Earth’s south pole – a point where the normal laws of physics hold.

However, the world-renowned astrophysicist explained; “There is nothing south of the South Pole, so there was nothing around before the Big Bang.”

To better understand what Professor Hawking means, you would have to imagine a remote control that controls the universe and press the Rewind button.

The universe is constantly expanding.

As you go back in time, the universe contracts.

Rewinding to the Big Bang, the entire universe is reduced to the size of a single atom, Hawking said.

This subatomic ball of everything is known as the singularity.

Within this small and enormous mass of heat and energy, the laws of physics and time as we know them cease to function.

In other words, time as we understand it literally did not exist before the universe began to expand.

On the contrary, the arrow of time contracts infinitely as the universe gets smaller and smaller and never reaches a clear starting point.

As noted by TechTimes, Hawking says during the show that before the Big Bang, time was bent — “It was always reaching closer to nothing but didn’t become nothing,” according to the article. Essentially, “there was never a Big Bang that produced something from nothing. It just seemed that way from mankind’s point of perspective.”

In a lecture on the no-boundary proposal, Hawking wrote: “Events before the Big Bang are simply not defined because there’s no way one could measure what happened at them. Since events before the Big Bang have no observational consequences, one may as well cut them out of the theory, and say that time began at the Big Bang,” reports Space.com.

10 Ancient Artifacts That Hint We May Have Been Visited By Ancient Astronauts

10 Ancient Artifacts That Hint We May Have Been Visited By Ancient Astronauts

“The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” Those are the words of Carl Sagan in his novel Contact.

So yeah, the universe is big. Scratch that. The universe is so big, we can’t really understand it.

Out of the billions of stars and trillions of planets that make up the known universe, modern-day scholars argue only Earth has life.

However, in recent years we have made extraordinary progress in exploring our solar system which has led us to a number of discoveries that suggest that not only are we not alone in the universe, but alien life could exist in our solar system, in the moons of Jupiter or Saturn, or even on Mars.

One of my favorite quotes about alien life comes from a man called Giordano Bruno, born in 1548.

Bruno was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and cosmological theorist, perhaps best-known for his cosmological theories, which conceptually extended the then-novel Copernican model.

Bruno suggested how stars we see in the night sky are nothing other than sun’s surrounded by their own alien worlds.

He was one of the first to ponder whether or not it was possible for alien life to exist on those distant exoplanets:

“In space, there are countless constellations, sun’s, and planets; we see only the suns because they give light; the planets remain invisible, for they are small and dark. There are also numberless Earth’s circling around their sun’s…” ― Giordano Bruno, Despre infinit univers si lumi.

Bruno also suggested there was a possibility the universe was infinite and could have no celestial body at its “center”.

Because of his ‘modern thinking,’ Bruno was found guilty of heresy and he was burned at the stake in Rome’s Campo de’ Fiori in 1600.

Another very interesting quote, which I felt compelled to share in this article comes from Bruno’s On the Infinite, the Universe and the Worlds: Five Cosmological Dialogues, where he wrote:

“The ancients observed, and we also observe, that sometimes things fall to earth, or some things leave the earth, or whatever parts we may be near…”

Go further back in time before Giordano Bruno, say 2,000—3,000 years, and you’ll arrive at a time when great ancient civilizations like the ancient Aztecs, Maya, and ancient Egyptians ruled the Earth.

These ancient civilizations, and many others across Southern America, North America, Asia, and Africa were great pioneers during their times in various fields, including engineering, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, etc.

Their level of advancements was huge, and the Maya, for example, were considered as one of the greatest pre-industrial civilizations of the world.

The Egyptians built some of the most impressive ancient structures on the surface of the planet, the pyramids, and managed to transport massive blocks of stone, some weighing more than 50 tons across great distances without ‘simple’ technologies such as the wheel.

Halfway around the world, pre-Inca civilizations did the same thing when they managed to quarry andesite rock and transport it across vast distances, building some of the most impressive archaeological sites on the surface of the planet.

So, how did they do it?

Was it all brute force?

Slaves?

Did they possess some sort of technology we are unaware of?

Or is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that an otherworldly influence was at play?

Thankfully, these ancient civilizations recorded their history as best as they could and left behind a number of ancient writings, monuments, and figurines that tell an impressive story.

Here, we take a look at ten amazing ancient figurines that were created by the ancient thousands of years ago, which, according to ancient astronaut theorists around the globe, suggest ancient aliens were in contact with ancient cultures around the globe, thousands of years ago.

The handbag of the gods. Scholars are unable to explain why these mysterious ‘handbags’ appear in illustrations from ancient cultures across the globe.

Is that a humanoid in some sort of space suit? This ancient figurine dates back to 600-900 AD.

Olmec Monument 19, from La Venta, Tabasco, shows a man holding the handbag in his hand.

Curiosity Tests a New Way to Drill on Mars

Curiosity Tests a New Way to Drill on Mars

After more than a year without the use of the Curiosity Mars rover's drill, engineers have devised a workaround and tested it for the first time on the Red Planet. More testing of the drill method is planned for the future.

NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has conducted the first test of a new drilling technique on the Red Planet since its drill stopped working reliably.

This early test produced a hole about a half-inch (1-centimeter) deep at a target called Lake Orcadie -- not enough for a full scientific sample, but enough to validate that the new method works mechanically. This was just the first in what will be a series of tests to determine how well the new drill method can collect samples. If this drill had achieved sufficient depth to collect a sample, the team would have begun testing a new sample delivery process, ultimately delivering to instruments inside the rover.

The drill is used for pulverizing rock samples into powder, which are then deposited into two of Curiosity's laboratory instruments, Sample Analysis at Mars, or SAM, and Chemistry and Mineralogy, or CheMin. Curiosity has used its drill to collect samples 15 times since landing in 2012. Then, in December of 2016, a key part of the drill stopped working. The drill was designed to use two finger-like stabilizers to steady itself against rock; a faulty motor prevented the drill bit from extending and retracting between these stabilizers.

After months of effort, Curiosity's engineering team was able to extend the drill all the way out past the stabilizers, but the motor issue persisted. The team posed a challenge for themselves: could they hack the space robot's drill so that it didn't require stabilizers?

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used a new drill method to produce a hole on February 26 in a target named Lake Orcadie. The hole marks the first operation of the rover's drill since a motor problem began acting up more than a year ago.

Full image and caption

Images of a new hole on upper Vera Rubin Ridge, Curiosity's current location, suggest this “MacGyvering” is paying off. By leaving the drill in an extended position, engineers were able to practice this freehand drilling for months during testing here on Earth. This hole at Lake Orcadie provides the first insights into how this operation will work in the Martian environment.

If the previous method was like a drill press, holding the bit steady as it extends into a surface, it's now more freehand. The NASA rover is using its entire arm to push the drill forward, re-centering itself while taking measurements with a force sensor. That sensor was originally included to stop the rover's arm if it received a high-force jolt. It now offers Curiosity a vital sense of touch, preventing the drill bit from drifting sideways too much and getting stuck in rock.

"We're now drilling on Mars more like the way you do at home," said Steven Lee, deputy project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. "Humans are pretty good at re-centering the drill, almost without thinking about it. Programming Curiosity to do this by itself was challenging -- especially when it wasn't designed to do that."

It hasn't been easy. JPL engineers spent many double-shifts testing the new method, including on weekends and holidays. They also had to perform "invasive surgery" on their testbed -- a near-exact replica of Curiosity -- installing a force sensor to match the one on Mars. The Earth-based testbed's sensor had stopped working before Curiosity's launch in 2012, but there had never been reason to replace it before now.

"This is a really good sign for the new drilling method," said Doug Klein of JPL, one of Curiosity's sampling engineers. "Next, we have to drill a full-depth hole and demonstrate our new techniques for delivering the sample to Curiosity's two onboard labs."

Leaving the drill in its extended position means it no longer has access to a device that sieves, portions and delivers the rock powder to the rover's instruments (called Collection and Handling for In-Situ Martian Rock Analysis, or CHIMRA).

JPL also had to invent a new way to deposit the powder without this device. The new solution makes Curiosity look as though it is adding seasoning to its science, shaking out grains from the drill's bit as if it were tapping salt from a shaker.

This tapping has been successfully tested here on Earth -- but Earth's atmosphere and gravity are very different from that of Mars. Whether rock powder on Mars will fall out in the same volume and in a controlled way has yet to be seen.

In the days ahead, Curiosity's engineers will evaluate the results of this recent test and likely drill again nearby. If enough sample is collected, they will test portioning the sample out, using the rover's Mastcam to estimate how much powder can be shaken from the drill bit.

Though this first test of the drill didn't produce a full sample, Curiosity's science team is excited to see this step on the path back to routine drilling. There's high interest in getting multiple drilled samples from Vera Rubin Ridge, especially from the upper ridge that contains both gray and red rocks. The latter are rich in hematite, an iron oxide mineral that forms in the presence of water. Drilled samples might shed light on the origin of the ridge and the history of its interaction with water.

The Roswellian Syndrome: How Some UFO Myths Develop

The Roswellian Syndrome: How Some UFO Myths Develop

An analysis of four classic flying-saucer incidents reveals how debunking can send a mundane case underground, where it is transformed by mythologizing processes, then reemerges—like a virulent strain of a virus—as a vast conspiracy tale. Defined by the Roswell Incident (1947), this syndrome is repeated at Flatwoods (1952), Kecksburg (1965), and Rendlesham Forest (1980).

Near the very beginning of the modern UFO craze, in the summer of 1947, a crashed “flying disc” was reported to have been recovered near Roswell, New Mexico. However, it was soon identified as simply a weather balloon, whereupon the sensational story seemed to fade away. Actually, it went underground; after subsequent decades, it resurfaced as an incredible tale of extraterrestrial invasion and the government’s attempt to cover up the awful truth. The media capitalized on “the Roswell incident,” and conspiracy theorists, persons with confabulated memories, outright hoaxers, and others climbed aboard the bandwagon.

We identify this process—a UFO incident’s occurring, being debunked, going underground, beginning the mythmaking processes, and reemerging as a conspiracy tale with ongoing mythologizing and media hype—as the Roswellian Syndrome. In the sections that follow, we describe the process as it occurred at Roswell and then demonstrate how the same syndrome developed from certain other famous UFO incidents: at Flatwoods, West Virginia (1952); Kecksburg, Pennsylvania (1965); and Rendlesham Forest (outside the Woodbridge NATO base) in England (1980). Between us, we have actually been on-site to investigate three of the four cases (Joe Nickell at Roswell and Flatwoods, and James McGaha—a former military pilot—at Rendlesham).

Roswell (1947)

Here is how the prototype of the Roswellian Syndrome began and developed:

Incident. On July 8, 1947, an eager but relatively inexperienced public information officer at Roswell Army Airfield issued a press release claiming a “flying disc” had been recovered from its crash site on an area ranch (Berlitz and Moore 1980; Korff 1997). The next day’s Roswell Daily Record told how rancher “Mac” Brazel described (in a reporter’s words) “a large area of bright wreckage” consisting of tinfoil, rubber strips, sticks, and other lightweight materials.

Debunking. Soon after these initial reports, the mysterious object was identified as a weather balloon. Although there appears to have been no attempt to deceive, the best evidence now indicates that the device was really a balloon array (the sticks and foiled paper being components of dangling box-kite–like radar reflectors) that had gone missing in flight from Project Mogul. Mogul represented an attempt to use the airborne devices’ instruments to monitor sonic emissions from Soviet nuclear tests. Joe Nickell has spoken about this with former Mogul Project scientist Charles B. Moore, who identified the wreckage from photographs as consistent with a lost Flight 4 Mogul array. (See also Thomas 1995; Saler et al. 1997; U.S. Air Force 1997.)

Submergence. With the report that the “flying disc” was only a balloon-borne device, the Roswell news story ended almost as abruptly as it had begun. However, the event would linger on in the fading and recreative memories of some of those involved, while in Roswell rumor and speculation continued to simmer just below the surface with UFO reports a part of the culture at large. In time, conspiracy-minded UFOlogists would arrive, asking leading questions and helping to spin a tale of crashed flying saucers and a government cover-up.

Mythologizing. This is the most complex part of the syndrome, beginning when the story goes underground and continuing after it reemerges, developing into an elaborate myth. It involves many factors, including exaggeration, faulty memory, folklore, and deliberate hoaxing.

For example, exaggeration played a large role in the Roswell case. Major Jesse Marcel, who had helped retrieve the wreckage, often made self-contradictory and inflated assertions, giving, for example, grossly exaggerated statements about the amount of debris, its supposed imperviousness to damage, and other matters. It is now known that Marcel made claims about his own background—that he had a college degree, was a World War II pilot who had received five air medals for shooting down enemy planes, and had himself been shot down—that were proved untrue by his own service file (Fitzgerald 2001, 511). Kal Korff (1997, 27), who uncovered many of Marcel’s deceptions, found him “exaggerating things and repeatedly trying to ‘write himself’ into the history books.” As he described the debris, Marcel said the sticks resembled balsa but were “not wood at all” and had “some sort of hieroglyphics on them that nobody could decipher” (apparently referring to the floral designs). As well, there were “small pieces of a metal like tinfoil, except that it wasn’t tinfoil” (Berlitz and Moore 1980, 65).

Faulty memory was another problem. For example, Curry Holden, an anthropologist from Texas Tech, claimed a student archaeological expedition he led had actually come upon the crashed flying saucer and the bodies of its extraterrestrial crew. Holden’s wife and daughter, however, insisted that he had never told them of such an event; neither was there any corroboration in his personal papers. Holden was ninety-six when he provided his account to UFOlogist Kevin Randle, at which time his wife told Randle her husband’s memory “wasn’t as sharp as it once had been. He sometimes restructured his life’s events, moving them in time so that they were subtly changed” (Fitzgerald 2001, 514). Roswell mortician W. Glenn Dennis, who provided information on alien “bodies” at the Roswell AAF Hospital, also seriously misremembered and confabulated¹ events. According to James McAndrew’s The Roswell Report: Case Closed (U.S. Air Force 1997, 78–79), Dennis’s account “was compared with official records of the actual events he is believed to have described” and showed “extensive inaccuracies” that included “a likely error in the date by as much as twelve years.”

The processes that create folklore also played a role in shaping the Roswell legend. As reported in Leonard Stringfield’s book Situation Red: The UFO Siege (1977), a great number of tales proliferated about an alleged crash of an extraterrestrial craft and the retrieval of its humanoid occupants. The many versions of the story—what folklorists call variants—are proof of the legend-making, oral-tradition process at work. The aliens were typically described as little, big-eyed, big-headed humanoids, a type that began to be popularly reported after they were described by “abductees” Betty and Barney Hill in 1961 (Nickell 2011, 184–86). The pickled corpses were secretly stored—mostly anonymous sources claimed—at a (nonexistent) hangar-18 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, or some other location subsequently supposed to be Area 51 (the U.S. government’s secret test facility). From a folkloristic point of view, the crash/retrieval stories seem to function as “belief tales,” that is, legends told to give credence to a folk belief—in this instance a burgeoning one (Nickell 1995, 196–97).

Roswell folklore was obviously fed in part by deliberate fakelore. Related hoaxing began in 1949 when—as a part of the forthcoming sci-fi movie The Flying Saucer (1950)—an actor posing as an FBI agent avowed its claim of a captured spacecraft was true. In 1950, writer Frank Scully reported in his Behind the Flying Saucers that the U.S. government possessed three Venusian spaceships complete with humanoid corpses. Scully got his information from a pair of confidence men who were hoping to sell a petroleum-locating gadget allegedly derived from alien technology. By 1974, a man named Robert Spencer Carr was giving talks in which he claimed firsthand knowledge of where the preserved aliens were hidden; however, the late claimant’s son reported that his father made up the entire yarn. Other Roswell hoaxes included the ineptly forged “MJ-12 documents” (that continue to fool UFOlogist Stanton T. Friedman); a diary that told how a family came upon the smoldering crashed saucer and injured aliens (but was written with an ink not manufactured until 1974); and the notorious “Alien Autopsy” film, showing the dissection of a rubbery extraterrestrial who appeared to be from the distant Planet Latex (Nickell 2001, 118–21).

Reemergence and Media Bandwagon Effect. In 1980 the story resurfaced in the media with publication of the book The Roswell Incident. Its authors were Charles Berlitz (who had previously written the mystery-mongering best seller The Bermuda Triangle, containing “invented details,” exaggerations, and distortions [Randi 1995, 35]) and William L. Moore (who was a suspect in the previously mentioned “MJ-12” hoax [Nickell with Fischer, 1992, 81–105], as well as author of The Philadelphia Experiment, an expanded version of another’s tale that itself proved to be a hoax [Clark 1998, 509]). The Roswell Incident’s book jacket gushed: “Reports indicate, before government censorship, that occupants and material from the wrecked ship were shuttled to a CIA high security area—and that there may have been a survivor!” It adds that “. . . Berlitz and Moore uncover astonishing information that indicates alien visitations may actually have happened—only to be hushed up in the interest of ‘national security.’”

The book is replete with distortions. Consider rancher Mac Brazel’s original description of the scattered debris he found on his ranch—strips of rubber, sticks, tinfoil, tough paper, and tape with floral designs (Nickell 2009, 10)—the same as shown in photos (U.S. Air Force 1997, 7) and consistent with a Mogul balloon array with radar reflectors. However, Berlitz and Moore impose a conspiratorial interpretation, saying that in a subsequent interview Brazel “had obviously gone to great pains to tell the newspaper people exactly what the Air Force had instructed him to say regarding how he had come to discover the wreckage and what it looked like.” In fact, Brazel quite outspokenly insisted, “I am sure what I found was not any weather observation balloon,” and he was right: the debris was from a Project Mogul array, much of it foiled paper from the radar targets (Berlitz and Moore 1980, 40).

Berlitz’s and Moore’s The Roswell Incident launched the modern wave of UFO crash/retrieval conspiracy beliefs, promoted by additional books (e.g., Friedman and Berliner 1992), television shows, and myriad other venues. Roswell conspiracy theories were off and running, typically linked to strongly anti–U.S. government attitudes. The Roswellian Syndrome would play out again and again.

Flatwoods (1952)

About 7:15 pm on September 12, 1952, at the tiny village of Flatwoods, Braxton County, West Virginia, some boys on the school playground saw a fiery UFO apparently land on a hilltop. Running to a nearby home, they obtained a flashlight and were joined by a beautician, her two sons, and a dog. As the unlikely group went up the hill toward a pulsating light, one boy aimed a flashlight at a pair of eyes shining through the dark. The group saw a tall “manlike” entity with a round face surrounded by a “pointed hood-like shape.” Suddenly the monster emitted a high-pitched hissing sound and swept at them with “a gliding motion as if afloat in midair,” while exhibiting “terrible claws.” The group ran in panic, and the next day skid marks and a black gunk were found at the site (Nickell 2000).

The incident attracted journalists, writers (like paranormalist Ivan Sanderson), and apparently two Air Force investigators in civilian clothes. Soon, the UFO was identified as a meteor; seen in three states, it had only appeared to land when it disappeared behind the hill. The pulsating light was obviously one of three airplane beacons in view at the site. The tall “monster” was believed to have been a large owl on a limb (since then, more evidentially determined to have been a barn owl [Nickell 2000]), and a local man identified the ground traces as caused by his pickup truck and its leaking oil pan. The case soon slipped into obscurity.

Fifteen years elapsed, then Sanderson included the case as Chapter 3 of his Uninvited Visitors (1967). The credulous Sanderson (once fooled by a rubber Sasquatch frozen in ice [Nickell 2011, 87–90]) opined that the Flatwoods incident involved multiple UFOs—citing contradictory accounts of, in each instance, a single object. Instead of suspecting that witnesses were mistaken or that the meteor might have broken apart, he insisted that “to be logical” we should believe that there was “a flight of aerial machines” that were “maneuvering in formation.” For some reason they lost control, but one managed to land at Flatwoods. Its pilot emerged “in a space suit” but, observed, headed back to the craft, which—like two others that “crashed”—soon “vaporized” (Sanderson 1967, 37–52).

Sanderson was followed in 2004 by Frank C. Feschino Jr., who published—with an introduction and epilogue by Stanton T. Friedman—The Braxton County Monster: The Cover-Up of the Flatwoods Monster Revealed. Feschino interviewed elderly witnesses, who, according to the book’s promotional copy, “wanted to talk about the story for the first time in fifty years.” For example, Kathleen May, the beautician who was with the boys when they encountered the “monster” in 1952, recalled a mysterious “government” letter that had been shown her by local reporter A. Lee Stewart Jr. She claimed it told of experimental craft the “Navy Department” operated in the area the evening of the incident. Feschino huffs: “The test ship explanation told to Mrs. May in the mysterious letter was not even remotely possible in 1952. The Air Force knew that Mrs. May did not see a meteor in Flatwoods. So they convinced her that it was something explicable, like an experimental ship. But there were no experimental ships in 1952!” (Feschino 2004, 336). Actually, according to reporter Stewart, what he had shown May was only a press release for an issue of Collier’s magazine with an attached photo of a moon ship (Feschino 2004, 323–36).

Kecksburg (1965)

About forty miles southeast of Pittsburgh, in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, on December 9, 1965, a boy playing outdoors saw an object plummet into nearby woods. In fact, a brilliant aerial object had been seen by numerous observers over a large area. The Greensburg Tribune-Review reported in its county edition of December 10, “Unidentified Flying Object Falls Near Kecksburg” and “Army Ropes Off Area.” However, that newspaper’s city edition headlined its story “Searchers Fail To Find Object” (Gordon 2001, 288). From photographs of the cloud train from the object, Sky & Telescope magazine (February 1966) identified it as a very bright meteor (a type of fireball known as a bolide). The story went underground.

The Kecksburg incident remained obscure until September 19, 1990, when it became the season opener for NBC’s Unsolved Mysteries. The show launched the story as one of a crashed UFO, its secret retrieval, and a government conspiracy to hide the truth. Nearly a quarter of a century after the original incident, two local men had begun to claim that before authorities arrived they had entered the wooded area and encountered a large metallic object, shaped like an acorn, partially embedded in the earth. At the back of the object, the witnesses said, using wording that is curiously similar to that of the Roswell incident, were markings like ancient Egyptian “hieroglyphics.” And, also like the Roswell case, the UFO was allegedly transported to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, where it was kept in a sealed building (Gordon 2001, 288–90). Such shared motifs (as folklorists call story elements) suggest the Kecksburg incident was influenced by the Roswell story. One source even claimed bodies were recovered at Kecksburg but subsequently retracted the claim (Young 1997).

The various later claims do not fare well, and more than fifty residents of Kecksburg sent a petition to Unsolved Mysteries attempting to forestall the broadcast. These included the fire chief in 1965, Ed Myers, and a couple, Valerie and Jerome Miller, whose home the TV show wrongly claimed had served as a “military command post” during the UFO recovery. Actually, both the Air Force and the state police reported the day after the incident that nothing had been discovered and that all that had been carried from the site was search equipment (Young 1997).

Rendlesham Forest (1980)

For three days in late December 1980 in East England, a series of UFO close-encounter incidents occurred in Rendlesham Forest, located between two British NATO bases—RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge—that were at the time being leased by the United States Air Force. The incidents began in the early morning of December 26 (although sources disagree, some giving December 25 or December 27) and lasted for three successive days. Security patrolmen witnessed a bright streaking light that appeared to crash into the forest. Investigating, the men soon saw lights they attributed to a UFO—a bright white light plus an apparent vehicle with “a pulsing red light on top” and “blue lights underneath.” As the patrolmen proceeded closer, the object “maneuvered through the trees and disappeared” (Halt 1981). The following day, three seven-inch-diameter depressions were found at the site. That night “burn marks” were seen on trees, and radiation readings were also obtained. On an audiotape made by Deputy Base Commander Lt. Col. Charles Halt that same night, one hears an unidentified person call out regarding the bright light, “There it is again . . . there it is,” with a five-second interval (“Rendlesham” 2011). Later that night “three starlike objects” were seen in the sky; one to the south, Halt (1981) said, “was visible for two or three hours and beamed down a stream of light from time to time” (Butler et al. 1984; Ridpath 1986; Hesemann 2001).

As we now know, a bolide (a brilliant meteor) streaked over southern England at the time of the first Rendlesham sighting. Subsequently, the Suffolk police investigated the initial sighting and determined that the only light visible from the area was that of the Orford lighthouse (Ridpath 1986). The Orford Ness beacon stood in the very direction airmen were looking and flashed at the same five-second interval reported for the UFO. Later, other claims were convincingly debunked: the red and blue lights were from a police car; the “landing” depressions were rabbit diggings; “burn marks” on pines were axe blazings oozing resin; the low radiation readings had been taken with equipment not intended to measure background radiation and were therefore meaningless; and the starlike lights were probably indeed stars, namely Sirius, Vega, and Deneb (“Rendlesham” 2011; Ridpath 1986). Meanwhile, the Rendlesham story remained unpublicized for almost three years.

In October 1983 the story leaked out and made headlines in the British tabloid News of the World: “UFO Lands in Suffolk—and That’s Official.” It was followed by a book, Sky Crash: A Cosmic Conspiracy (1984), written by Brenda Butler, Jenny Randles, and Dot Street and based in part on hypnosis sessions with “Art Wallace”—actually former U.S. Airman Larry Warren who was the News of the World’s informant. Warren’s claim to have been a witness to the Rendlesham incident has been disputed by others, including Halt (“Rendlesham” 2011). By this time bizarre rumors had surfaced that a commander had met three little humanoid extraterrestrials who had emerged from the landed UFO, but the alleged contactee denied it (Butler et al. 1984, 86).

In time, Jenny Randles, who helped hype the Rendlesham incident, came to doubt the extraterrestrial connection, stating, “While some puzzles remain, we can probably say that no unearthly craft were seen in Rendlesham Forest. We can also argue with confidence that the main focus of the events was a series of misperceptions of everyday things encountered in less than everyday circumstances” (qtd. in “Rendlesham” 2011).

* * *

No doubt other instances of the Roswellian Syndrome could be given (even beyond UFO encounters), but the ones we have presented here are major examples of the type. Of course, each is different in its own way (for example, the Rendlesham Forest case had a much briefer period of submergence than did Roswell). And some famous UFO incidents—the Phoenix Lights of 1997, for instance (Davenport 2001)—have not followed the same course. (For one apparent reason, it did not involve a specific site on the ground visited by investigators.)

Nevertheless, we believe we have identified a genuine pattern in cases in which, during a period of submergence, the mythologizing tendency has been at work followed by a reemergence—rather like a new, more virulent strain of a virus. It appears that UFOlogists are always looking for a Holy Grail case to verify their belief in extraterrestrial visitation, and when that does not pan out (most UFO reports prove little more than misidentifications, ambiguous sightings, fake photos, and the like) they seek out the old cases and are rewarded with much more sensational testimony. By identifying and analyzing this process, we hope to promote more critical thinking regarding these and other sensationalized cases.

Fundamental quantum mechanics equation can also describe large-scale objects in the universe

Fundamental quantum mechanics equation can also describe large-scale objects in the universe

BY TIBI PUIU

Schrodinger’s equation is a fundamental equation of quantum mechanics that describes how particles behave at the subatomic level. Caltech researchers were astonished to learn, however, that the same equation popped up when they modeled the behavior of self-gravitating astrophysical disks. Examples of such disks include the rings of Saturn or the disks of gas and dust that surround young stars. However, there’s nothing ‘quantum’ about these objects — and yet there seems to be a connection.

Schrodinger’s equation is one of the cornerstones of quantum physics. It plays a similar role to Newton’s laws and conservation of energy in classical mechanics, describing how quantum objects (such as atoms and subatomic particles) tend to behave in the future based on their current state. When you get to that level, things start to get a bit bizarre.

One counter-intuitive behavior that Schrodinger’s equation describes is that subatomic particles behave more like a wave than like a particle, a phenomenon which physicists refer to as wave-particle duality.

Massive astronomical objects often have smaller objects gravitating around them, whether it’s stars going around a black hole or space debris around a star. This debris often arranges itself in a disk, like our solar system, for instance. The problem is that it’s always been challenging to study the behavior of self-gravitating disks because they exhibit distortions, bending and warping like ripples. Capturing the disks’ complexity can be challenging, which is what a team of researchers at Caltech is trying to address.

Konstantin Batygin, a Caltech assistant professor of planetary, and colleagues turned to perturbation theory in order to develop a mathematical representation of disk evolution. This simplified model, which is based on an equation developed by 18th-century mathematicians Joseph-Louis Lagrange and Pierre-Simon Laplace, assumes that the constituents of astronomical disks are mathematically smeared together into thin “wires”. These wires form concentric circles that loop around the disk and exchange orbital angular momentum.

Batygin looked at the extreme cases where the concentric circles get thinner and thinner until they merge into a continuous disk, and what this limit rendered proved quite surprising.

“When we do this with all the material in a disk, we can get more and more meticulous, representing the disk as an ever-larger number of ever-thinner wires,” Batygin said in a statement. “Eventually, you can approximate the number of wires in the disk to be infinite, which allows you to mathematically blur them together into a continuum. When I did this, astonishingly, the Schrodinger Equation emerged in my calculations.”

“This discovery is surprising because the Schrodinger Equation is an unlikely formula to arise when looking at distances on the order of light-years,” says Batygin. “The equations that are relevant to subatomic physics are generally not relevant to massive, astronomical phenomena. Thus, I was fascinated to find a situation in which an equation that is typically used only for very small systems also works in describing very large systems.”

The study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society suggests that the shape of the disk is well-represented by the wave function of a quantum particle that bounces around the inner and outer walls of a disk-like cavity. It’s unexpected to learn that such a fundamental equation to quantum mechanics, which scientists are used to dealing with almost exclusively in the domain of the “very small”, can also describe the long-term evolution of astrophysical disks. It’s an intriguing discovery that two seemingly unrelated branches of physics can be described so similarly, mathematically speaking — and such knowledge should prove useful for researchers who model astrophysical objects.

“Fundamentally, the Schrodinger Equation governs the evolution of wave-like disturbances.” says Batygin. “In a sense, the waves that represent the warps and lopsidedness of astrophysical disks are not too different from the waves on a vibrating string, which are themselves not too different from the motion of a quantum particle in a box. In retrospect, it seems like an obvious connection, but it’s exciting to begin to uncover the mathematical backbone behind this reciprocity.”

Command Sgt Major Rober Dean And Sgt Clifford Stone Say Aliens Live Among Us

Command Sgt Major Rober Dean And Sgt Clifford Stone Say Aliens Live Among Us

He was the official/unofficial UFO Consultant dealing with UFO matters during his 22-year stint in the army.The US government knew a whole lot more about UFO's than it was telling the American public.

Obviously, the aliens have far, far superior tech the US government was trying to acquire.

To me the positive here is that there is a controlled disclosure attempt happening using their military personnel.

UFO filmed in Texas January 2018

The triangular-shaped strange lights, similar to tr-3b, were filmed near a ranch in Catarina, Texas, around 8:45 p.m. The day 1-24-18. This catarina texas triangular UFO has not yet been explained. The information about this sighting is filtered in the deep web and everything suggests that it is a kind of secret military prototype similar to the tr-3b of the 90s but others say no, that it is an alien artifact

5th February 2015 UPDATE:

A lot of people are contacting me and reporting more sighting from this area. It looks like Vero Beach recently became a very popular UFO hotspot!

Here’s one report from Mark, he had a sighting on 31st January, four days after the video above was recorded:

A constant bright orange dot in the southwest that would occasionally drift sideways to the west.
At first, I thought it was a night launch – they’re kinda common around here – but launches typically are seen to the north. This was to the southwest.
The color and brightness was reminiscent of a launch, but it was more constant, no flicker to it..
It seemed to stay at the same altitude, but moved sideways a couple of times, slowly, to the west..
I watched it for about a minute or two, and it faded out.

When I got home, I posted on Facebook ‘Did anyone else see that’? but got no responses.
The thought crossed my mind that it could be a Chinese lantern drifting in the wind, but it seemed too high and too bright.
I wouldn’t have reported this, had I not just now seen the January 25th report of similar sightings in the same town.
Thanks.
