1973 was quite a year for UFO reports in the United States. Amidst a countrywide rash of reports where people claimed to see unusual lights and, occasionally, more structured craft over America, one incident from that year stands out in UFO literature as being one of the most detailed and complex situations ever reported.

On the night of October 11, 1973, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing together at an abandoned shipyard near the place they worked together. As the story goes, a blue light emerged from the clouds above them, and the men watched a football-shaped object descend and hover nearby, from which two very unusual “beings” emerged. Hickson and Parker were somehow forced onto the aircraft, in which examinations were performed on them before they were released again, bewildered and badly frightened.

The two men subsequently went to local authorities (and the press), at which time a secret recording was made by law enforcement of the two men privately discussing how terrified they were. Thus the world soon learned of what became known as the Pascagoula incident.

The details are astounding indeed, whatever they might entail. I say this not with cynicism about the pair’s retelling of events, per se, since the details of their story remained remarkably consistent over the years. However, despite being generally a “good case” as far as the crazier UFO reports go (there was never any evidence that the men had conspired as attention seekers, for instance), there are some peculiarities with Pascagoula incident that are worthy of mention.

For instance, as it must be admitted outright that Hickson and Parker’s story is quite unlike most other UFO reports. In fact, many aspects of the incident were completely unique and bore no common features with other popular UFO narratives. Chief among these had been the entities encountered during the experience: as skeptic Joe Nickel has noted in the past, “Three robotlike aliens exited from the craft; although they were gray humanoids just over five feet tall, they were otherwise of a type not reported before or since.”

The Clarion-Ledger recently reported that Parker, the younger of the two witnesses, has recently authored a book about his experience, in which he described the craft as it first appeared to them as follows:

“A big light came out of the clouds,” Parker said. “It was a blinding light.

“It was hard to tell with the lights so bright, but it looked like it was shaped like a football. I would say, just estimating, (it was) about 80-foot. (It made) very little sound. It was just a hissing noise.”

While the craft described by the witnesses is often likened to a blue-colored football, it is important to note how Parker describes it here, in “breaking his silence” about the incident after all these years (so says the Ledger at least; he’s actually discussed the incident several times, and has seemingly changed or updated aspects of his encounter over the years, more of which we’ll discuss later).

Hickson and Parker, shortly after the 1973 incident.

As Parker says, it was hard for he and his companion to tell precisely what the shape of the object was, due to the lights it produced. Additionally, although Parker says the object made little in the way of sound, he does describe a “hissing” noise, similar to the “zipping” noises described by the witnesses in previous interviews.

It might seem like a stretch to propose that this could have been any kind of conventional aircraft (i.e. something manmade). However, it might be worthwhile to compare this part of the narrative to another famous UFO incident from a few decades earlier: that of Brazilian farmer Antonio Villa Boas, who on an October evening in 1957 was taken aboard an unusual aircraft, and made to have sexual relations with a beautiful woman with large eyes and other appealing assets. Villa Boas described the aircraft that appeared on the night in question as being oval-shaped and having made little noise apart from a sort of whirring sound.

I recall talking with my friend and fellow Mysterious Universe writer Nick Redfern about the case a few years back, and remarking that Villa Boas “would have been able to identify the object had it merely been a helicopter.” What Nick said in response to this surprised me.

“Well hold on,” he began. I could hear him ruffling through papers and files over the phone, as he looked for his notes about the actual wording used by Villa Boas in the description he had given of the incident, rather than that of the later writings and rewritings about the incident in UFO literature, which simply described an oval or “egg-shaped” object. Sure as hell, in Villa Boas’ original description, he discussed there being something above the oval shaped craft that appeared to be spinning; in retrospect, the incident sounds a good bit like it could have involved some kind of helicopter, perhaps of a military variety that employs a variety of stealth technology that would lessen the sound of the helicopter blades (this fact has also been pointed out by researcher Mark Pilkington in his book Mirage Men).

With this in mind, if we give further consideration to Parker’s description of the object, where he says, “It was hard to tell with the lights so bright, but it looked like it was shaped like a football,” and that it made “very little sound” apart from a “hissing noise,” similarities do emerge between the two incidents. Granted, rather than being definitive details about the two alleged craft, what the similarities suggest is that neither man got a very good look at the actual shape of the object, and in at least one of the two cases, it sounded a lot like a helicopter of some kind!

Another interesting parallel between Parker’s narrative and the Villa Boas incident only came to light years later, when Parker began to express in interviews that he had apparently had additional “encounters” in the decades following Pascagoula. Parker also made the claim that many years later, his memories of the time he spent on board the aircraft in the original 1973 incident began to return, in which he recalled additional details that included a woman on board the craft, and that he was subjected to some variety of sexual examination while there. It’s not as far out as what Villa Boas reported from his time with a woman on board a UFO… but the similarities here are notable, regardless. But why did Parker only recall this so many years later, and why so often do these alleged abductions bear elements that involve sexuality in this way?

Parker wasn’t the only one who claimed to have had ongoing contact with these UFO beings, however. Hickson also claimed to have had numerous UFO sightings the following year, and further claimed that the “beings” on board the craft communicated to him “that they were peaceful.”

Another lingering question involves why Hickson and Parker seemingly cooperated with the beings that attempted to bring them onboard the aircraft. As Parker recently recounted for the Ledger, “I think they injected us with something to calm us down,” Parker said. “I was kind of numb and went along with the program.”

Nick Redfern has also speculated recently about the possible role of mind-altering drugs in some UFO cases. Citing similar ideas proposed by researcher Rich Reynolds, he recently wrote about it here at MU, saying:

“Having known Rich for far more than a few years, I should note that he has a deep interest in the possibility that at least some significant UFO incidents may have had a hallucinogen of some kind at their core. We’re not, however, talking here about using LSD for recreational purposes. Instead, we’re talking about situations which may have been utilized – by military and intelligence services – to, in essence, fake a UFO event.”

Faithful devotees to the idea of an alien presence, in relation to some of the more bizarre UFO events that have occurred over the years, will dislike such spe+culations presented here. However, the ideas should at least be given consideration, since they are of greater merit than the polarized views of hopeful Ufologists that have tossed all their chips in on an extraterrestrial hypothesis, or on the other extreme, the all-or-nothing skeptics who argue in every such instance that UFO “experiencers” are just liars, frauds, or publicity seekers.

Neither of these extreme views presents a truly objective assessment… something that will be required if we ever wish to understand the true circumstances behind some of these longstanding UFO cases.

Video shows ‘huge UFO’ emitting strange hum as it hovers over lake

Jimmy McCloskey

Shaky video footage shows what appears to be a huge UFO emitting a strange humming noise as it hovers over a lake.

Jason Swing recorded the large gray object sitting in the sky for over two minutes close to Lake Norman near Charlotte, NC. Swing, who shot the clip on May 29, calls the object a ‘space craft’, and adds: ‘It had been raining all morning.

‘Rain finally stopped so we went (to) pick up a boat from Lake Norman.

‘When (I) came around the corner I saw this thing sitting still very close.’

He films the object for around a minute, before declaring ‘This is all I can get.

I gotta go.’ The video gained widespread attention after being spotted by the Daily Star last week, with viewers offering a range of theories as to what it shows.

Some claimed they had seen similar ‘cigar-shaped objects,’ and speculated whether it was an alien spacecraft.

But skeptics wondered whether it was just a blimp floating by – and criticized Swing for not holding the camera steadily enough.

Do these Google Maps images really show 'China's Area 51'? Conspiracy theorists claim Stonehenge-like structure spotted in the Gobi desert is a 'secret military base'

• The circular formation was spotted on Google maps located between Kathmandu in Nepal and Mongolia
• The site has been dubbed 'China's Area 51' by some conspiracy theorists, while others claim it's a military base
• It is not the first time a Google Maps satellite has spotted bizarre structures during a sweep of the vast desert

By PHOEBE WESTON FOR MAILONLINE

Sharp-eyed conspiracy theorists claim to have spotted a secret 'military base' in the middle of the Gobi desert.

The circular formation of buildings, which has been likened to the shape of Stonehenge, was spotted between Kathmandu in Nepal and Mongolia on Google Maps.

The site has been branded 'China's Area 51' by some wayward conspiracy theorists, while others have speculated it could be a huge circular array of solar panels or a secretive military base.

The site is less than 100 miles (160km) from Jiuquan, where China's space programme headquarters and launch pads can be found, suggesting may have a military purpose. 

MailOnline has contacted military experts to find out if they know the function of the structure.

This is not the first time a Google Maps satellite has photographed such structures during a sweep of the vast desert, which have subsequently sparked a number of strange theories around what they could be.

Scroll down for video

Sharp-eyed conspiracy theorists claim to have spotted a secret 'military base' in the middle of the the Gobi desert. The strange circular formation, which has been likened to the Stonehenge, was spotted between Kathmandu in Nepal and Mongolia using Google Maps

Conspiracy theorists Blake and Brett Cousins, who run the popular YouTube channel 'thirdphaseofthemoon', believe the circular site is a 'runway for extraterrestrials'.

According to the video creators, three aircrafts are clearly stationed in the middle of the circular base, with trucks and control towers also stationed around the site. 

'Three airlines within the circular formation of rocks and buildings, I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at,' the Cousins brothers wrote. 'It almost looks like Stonehenge from this aerial view'.

The Cousins brothers also suggested it could be 'an area 51 for China'.

Readers flooded the controversial post with their own opinions about exactly what caused the formation.

'Maybe it's a huge solar panel for under ground living,' wrote YouTube user 'Jolene N'.

A user called 'Steve' said that it 'looks like a old military base'.

'Stop with the hype, it's a test rang for reconnaissance aircraft, their cameras and targeting equipment,' wrote another YouTube user who comments under the name 'joshreynolds72'. (sic)  

Previously, a set of strange shapes were spotted in a similar area on the borders of Gansu province and Xinjiang in northwestern China.

The internet was buzzing with theories about what their purpose was, with suggestions ranging from giant QR readers to practise targets for military satellites.  

Unidentified: One bizarre structure (pictured) was spotted by a Google Maps satellite on the borders of Gansu province and Xinjiang. The internet was buzzing with theories about what their purpose was, with suggestions ranging from giant QR readers to practise targets for military satellites

Some internet users have been trying to overlay one of the strange structures on to various U.S. city maps, worried that there may be a sinister military purpose behind them.

Others have pointed out that if China wanted to attack a US city, it doesn't need a practise map in the desert.

It is also difficult to tell what the structures are made of – whether they are painted on or dug into the landscape.

Speculation: Some internet users have been overlaying the strange structures over maps of US cities while a closer view shows burnt out vehicles (right) which have raised questions about whether the desert has been used for military purposes

Close-up: Experts say that the most likely explanation is that the clearest of the symbols are used as 'calibration' for spy satellites - a common practice for superpowers such as China

15 Quick Scientific Facts that Will Blow Your Mind

BY TIBI PUIU

Why don’t more people appreciate science? Personally, I believe it has something to do with science communication and the way we teach science in our schools.

With this in mind, here are a couple amazing scientific facts that I hope will inspire you to learn something new every day — they’ve certainly done so for me. However, this list is much too short; keep it growing by adding your own science facts in the comments section.

1. There is enough DNA in the average person’s body to stretch from the sun to Pluto and back — 17 times

The human genome (the genetic code in each human cell) contains 23 DNA molecules (called chromosomes), each containing from 500,000 to 2.5 million nucleotide pairs. DNA molecules of this size are 1.7 to 8.5 cm long when uncoiled — about 5 cm on average. There are about 37 trillion cells in the human body, so if you were to uncoil all of the DNA encased in each cell and place the molecules end to end, it would sum to a total length of 2×10¹⁴ meters — enough for 17 Pluto round-trips (the distance from the sun to Pluto and then back again is 1.2×10¹³ meters). As an added bonus, you should know that we each share 99% of our DNA with every other human — just to show that we’re far more alike than different.

2. The average human body carries ten times more bacterial cells than human cells

It’s funny how we compulsively wash our hands, spray our countertops, or make a grimace when someone sneezes near us, when, in fact, each and every one of us is a walking petri dish! All the bacteria living inside you could fill a half-gallon jug — there are 10 times more bacterial cells in your body than human cells, according to Carolyn Bohach, a microbiologist at the University of Idaho. Don’t worry, though: most of these bacteria are helpful. In fact, we couldn’t survive without them.

For example, bacteria produce chemicals that help us harness energy and nutrients from our food. Germ-free rodents have to consume nearly a third more calories than normal rodents to maintain their body weight, and when the same animals were later given a dose of bacteria, their body fat levels spiked despite the fact that they didn’t eat any more than they had before. Gut bacteria is also very important for maintaining immunity. (image source).

3. It takes a photon up to 40,000 years to travel from the core of the sun to its surface, but only 8 minutes to travel the rest of the way to Earth

A photon travels, on average, a particular distance before being briefly absorbed and released by an atom, which scatters it in a new random direction. To travel from the sun’s core to the sun’s surface (696,000 kilometers) so it can escape into space, a photon needs to make a huge number of drunken jumps.

The calculation is a little tricky, but the conclusion is that a photon takes many thousands and many millions of years to drunkenly wander to the surface of the Sun. In a way, some of the light that reaches us today is energy produced millions of years ago. Amazing!

4. At over 2,000 kilometers long, The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on Earth

Coral reefs consist of huge numbers of individual coral polyps (soft-bodied, invertebrate animals) that are linked together by tissue. The Great Barrier Reef is an interlinked system of about 3,000 reefs and 900 coral islands divided by narrow passages, located just beneath the surface of the Coral Sea. Spanning more than 2,000 km and covering an area of some 350,000 sq km, it is the largest living structure on Earth and the only one visible from space. However, this fragile coral colony is beginning to crumble, battered by the effects of climate change, pollution, and manmade disasters.

5. There are 8 times as many atoms in a teaspoonful of water as there are teaspoonfuls of water in the Atlantic ocean

A teaspoon of water (about 5 mL) contains 2×10²³ water molecules, but each water molecule is comprised of 3 atoms: two hydrogen atoms and one of oxygen. Moreover, if you’d laid down end to end each water molecule from a teaspoon down end to end, you’d end up with a length of 50 billion km — 10 times the width of our solar system.

6. In an entire lifetime, the average person walks the equivalent of five times around the world

The average moderately active person takes around 7,500 step/day.  If you maintain that daily average and live until 80 years of age, you’ll have walked about 216,262,500 steps in your lifetime. Doing the math;  the average person with the average stride living until 80 will walk a distance of around 110,000 miles — which is the equivalent of walking about 5 times around the Earth, right on the equator.

7. There are actually over two dozen states of matter (that we know of)

Everybody knows that there at least three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. If you’re a little bit more versed in physics, you also know about the fourth fundamental state of matter called plasma —  a hot ionized gas, with prime examples including lightning or neon signs. But beyond these common states of matter, scientists have discovered a myriad of exotic states of matter that occur under special conditions. One of them is the Bose-Einsteincondensate, where atoms chilled to only 0.000001 degrees above absolute zero start behaving like waves, rather than particles as they ought to on the macroscopic scale. Essentially, the atoms behave like one super atom, acting in unison.

Another interesting exotic state of matter is represented by time crystals — regular, boringly ordered crystals with a twist: A fourth dimension, time, is added so that the material exhibits different periodic structures over time. What makes these crystals particularly remarkable has less to do with the fact that they repeat in time but rather more with the fact that they’re intrinsically out of equilibrium. Because time crystals are never able to settle down, say into a diamond or ruby, there’s a lot we can learn from them.

8. Killer whales are actually dolphins

Despite their name, killer whales or orcas are the largest members of the dolphin family. Technically, orcas are also whales because delphinids belong to the Cetacean order within the toothed whale (Odontoceti) suborder. However, the term whale is typically reserved for baleen whales of the Mysticeti suborder.

The major physical feature that ensures orcas are dolphins is the presence of a melon — a fatty deposit that assists the animals in echolocation and only exists in dolphins.

Orcas are highly intelligent, highly adaptable and able to communicate and coordinate hunting tactics. They are extremely fast swimmers and have been recorded at speeds of up to 54kph! A wild orca pod can cover over 160 kilometers a day, foraging, and socializing.

9. Grasshoppers have ears in their bellies

Unlike humans, grasshoppers do not have ears on the side of their head. Like the ears of people, the grasshopper sound detector is a thin membrane called a tympanum, or “eardrum”. In adults, the tympanum is covered and protected by the wings, and allows the grasshopper to hear the songs of its fellow grasshoppers.

The grasshopper tympanum is adapted to vibrate in response to signals that are important to the grasshopper. Male grasshoppers use sounds to call for mates and to claim territory. Females can hear the sound that males make and judge the relative size of the male from the pitch of the call (large males make deeper sounds). Other males can hear the sounds and judge the size of a potential rival. Males use this information to avoid fights with larger male grasshoppers or to chase smaller rivals from their territory.

10. You can’t taste food without saliva

In order for food to have taste, chemicals from the food must first dissolve in saliva. It’s only once they’ve been dissolved in a liquid that the chemicals can be detected by receptors on taste buds. During this process, some salivary constituents chemically interact with taste substances. For example, salivary buffers (e.g., bicarbonate ions) decrease the concentration of free hydrogen ions (sour taste), and there are some salivary proteins which may bind with bitter taste substances.

Here’s a quick science experiment to test this out — get out a clean towel, and rub your tongue dry; then place some dry foods on your tongue, one by one, such as a cookie, pretzel, or some other dry food. After this session, drink a glass of water and repeat. Did you feel a difference?

11. When Helium is cooled to almost absolute zero (-460°F or -273°C, the lowest temperature possible), it becomes a liquid with surprising properties: it flows against gravity and will start running up and over the lip of a glass container!

We all know helium as a gas for blowing up balloons and making people talk like chipmunks, but what most people don’t know is that it comes in two distinct liquid states — one of which is borderline creepy. When helium is just a few degrees below its boiling point of –452°F (–269°C), it can suddenly do things that other fluids can’t, like dribble through molecule-thin cracks, climb up and over the sides of a dish, and remain motionless when its container is spun. No longer a mere liquid, the helium has become a superfluid — a liquid that flows without friction.

“If you set [down] a cup with a liquid circulating around and you come back 10 minutes later, of course, it’s stopped moving,” says John Beamish, an experimental physicist at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

This happens because atoms in the liquid will collide with one another and slow down.

“But if you did that with helium at low temperature and came back a million years later,” he says, “it would still be moving”.

12. If Betelgeuse exploded, transitioning from the red supergiant stage to supernova, it would light our sky continuously for two months. It could happen anytime — within a couple of thousand years, tomorrow or even now

Betelgeuse lies some 430 light-years from Earth, yet it’s already one of the brightest stars in Earth’s sky. The reason is that Betelgeuse is a supergiant star — the largest type of star in the Universe. Betelgeuse has a luminosity about 10,000 times greater than that of the Sun and its radius is calculated to be about 370 times that of the sun. If it were positioned at the center of our sun, its radius would extend out past the orbit of Mars. Because it’s near the end of its lifetime, Betelgeuse is likely to explode into a supernova.

13. Octopuses have three hearts, nine brains, and blue blood

Two of the hearts work exclusively to move blood beyond the animal’s gills, while the third keeps circulation flowing for the organs. When the octopus swims, the organ heart stops beating, which explains why these creatures prefer to crawl rather than swim (it exhausts them).

An octopus also has nine brains — well, sort of. There’s one ‘main’ brain where all the analysis and decision making takes place and eight ancillary brains — one at the base of each arm — that function as preprocessors for all the information obtained by that arm. Two-thirds of an octopus’ neurons reside in its arms, which can independently figure out how to open a shellfish, for instance, while the main brain is busy doing something else.

Our blood is red due to the fact that it contains iron-based hemoglobin to transport oxygen to cells. Octopuses, on the other hand, use the copper-based cyanoglobin, which performs the same function, albeit less efficiently — this makes octopuses have less stamina than you might expect.

14. An individual blood cell takes about 60 seconds to make a complete circuit of the body

You have about 5 liters of blood in your body (at least, most people do) and the average heart pumps about 70 mL of blood out with each beat. A healthy heart also beats around 70 times a minute. So, if you multiply the amount of blood that the heart can pump by the number of beats in a minute, you actually get about 4.9 liters of blood pumped per minute, which is almost your whole body’s worth of blood. In just a minute, the heart pumps the entire blood volume around your body.

15. The known universe is made up of 50,000,000,000 galaxies.

There are between 100,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000,000 stars in a normal galaxy. In the Milky Way alone there might be as many 100 billion Earth-like planets. Still think we’re alone?

Here's How Ludicrously Fast A Space Probe Is

  Michael Ballaban

Your regular commercial airliner, like a Boeing 747 is fast. A super-spy jet like the SR-71 Blackbird is much faster than that, traveling at over three times the speed of sound. So how does a deep-space probe like New Horizons, which recently flew past Pluto, compare? Thanks to this animation, you can see it’s very, very fast indeed.

Flying at 37k feet, this is what it would be like to look out the window of a 747 vs. an SR-71 vs. a New Horizons.

4:13 PM - Jul 17, 2015

• 1,504
• 1,662 people are talking about this

The animation was created by Clay Bavor, who works at Google in his day job. As he notes in his caption on it:

To put 36,000 mph in perspective, at that speed, you’d be able to fly from San Francisco to New York in about five minutes. Of course, you’d also be turned into a ball of searing hot plasma. 

I guess we should be happy, then, that New Horizons wasn’t going at crazy speeds through our own atmosphere.

In case you can’t read the words on the video above because you’re illiterate (in which case HOW ARE YOU READING THESE WORDS), a 747 typically cruises somewhere around 550 miles per hour, the SR-71 was claimed to have hit 2,700 MPH, but New Horizons is zooming through space at a staggering 36,000 MPH.

In fact, part of the reason why New Horizons didn’t stop and orbit Pluto is because it’s just so damn fast. Part of the reason for that is because NASA wanted it to get to Pluto in a reasonable amount of time, but I suspect that most of the reason for that is because we’ve all grown up wanting to know how fast we could shoot something into the sky. And when you’re NASA, your idea of shooting something into the sky includes a gravity assist from Jupiter.

L’ovni du triangle des Bermudes…

PAR HOLLOWSOUL

Un explorateur de la chaine Discovery Channel affirme avoir découvert les restes d’un appareil d’origine extraterrestre au find du triangle des Bermudes…

Darell Miklos, est un journaliste et un explorateur qui travaille en partenariat avec un chaîne de découverte. Récemment, il était à la recherche d’une épave encore inexplorée. Pour se faire, il a utilisé une ancienne carte datant des années soixante. Sur ce document, il a été répertorié une centaine d’anomalies magnétique dans le fond de l’océan. C’est en explorant l’une de ces anomalies qu’il aurait découvert une étrange épave.

C’est à une profondeur de 300 pieds que notre explorateur à mis à jour une structure très étrange.

La formation était trop grande pour être un navire. La structure est composée d’une partie principale avec des sortes de bras de la taille d’un canon de cuirassé sortant sur les côtés, en tout, quinze de ces appendices sortes de l’appareil. L’ensemble de cette formation est entièrement recouvert de coraux, d’après le chercheur, ils auraient plusieurs centaines voir des milliers d’années.

L’appareil en question est totalement non identifié. Il ne s’agit clairement pas d’un bateau et pour Darell, il pourrait s’agir d’un appareil d’origine extraterrestre.

Sur les images publiées, il est difficile de vraiment savoir à quoi, nous avons affaire. On devine des formes qui pourraient être artificiel, mais rien ne permet vraiment d’en connaître l’origine. Il faudra attendre des prélèvements et des analyses poussées afin d’en savoir plus. L’objet est étrange, mais rien ne permet d’affirmer qu’il s’agit d’un ovni.

Il faut espérer que cette affaire ne finisse pas en fiasco comme l’ovni de la baltique… https://mysterium-incognita.com/2018/02/21/la-curieuse-anomalie-de-la-baltique/

Schilderijen van Astrid, via haar instagramaccount

Via gemeenschappelijke vrienden stuitte ik onlangs op de instagrampagina van Astrid de Wolff, een vijfentwintigjarige vrouw uit Waspik. Ze is een typische journalistiekstudent die de wereld rondreist en naar festivals gaat. Ook wordt ze al haar hele leven bezocht door buitenaards leven, waar ze soms seks mee heeft. Dat schrijft ze althans zelf onder foto’s van haar alien-schilderijen, die tussen de vrolijke vriendinnenfoto’s en reiskiekjes op haar Insta staan. De schilderijen maakt ze na elke ontmoeting met een buitenaards wezen, als manier om het te verwerken. Ik sprak haar over haar ontmoetingen en haar schilderijen, dit is hoe ze het vertelde.

Voordat ik mijn verhaal vertel, wil ik benadrukken dat dit niet per se de ultieme waarheid is. Dit is mijn verhaal, mijn eigen interpretatie van een reeks ingrijpende momenten in mijn leven en dus mijn waarheid. Ik wil gewoon mijn verhaal kunnen vertellen, want ik heb ontdekt dat dit niet alleen mijn verhaal is, maar ook dat van vele andere mensen.

Ik ben een vijfentwintigjarige vrouw en afgestudeerd als journalist. Nederland voelde nooit echt als mijn thuis, dus werkte en reisde ik door Europa als henna-artiest, burlesquedanseres en als beveiliger tijdens de Oktoberfeesten in Duitsland. Nu ben ik terug in Nederland, en na een tijdje hoofdredacteur te zijn geweest, werk ik nu als werkcoach voor mensen met een handicap.

Mijn moeder zei dat ik me als baby al vreemd gedroeg, alsof ik niet goed kon omgaan met mijn kleine, lompe babylichaampje. Ik was drie jaar toen ik me voor het eerst heel erg slecht begon te voelen. Ik was altijd ziek, kon niet stoppen met huilen en voelde me erg naar en misselijk zodra iemand me op zijn of haar schoot nam. De dokter wist niet wat er met me aan de hand was, mijn moeder was ten einde raad. Ze besloot uiteindelijk een alternatieve geneesheer te raadplegen, iets wat destijds erg controversieel was. Hij zei dat ik overprikkeld was en sloot met wat speciale technieken de energie af in mijn kamer. Het klinkt abstract, maar het hielp wel.

Enkele jaren later werd ik weer angstig. Ik had het gevoel dat ik elke nacht bezocht werd door een indringer die me mee wilde nemen. Elke nacht was ik bang om in slaap te vallen. Ik verstopte me tussen een fort van vijf teddyberen en sliep altijd met mijn stokpaardje dicht bij me, omdat dat me een gevoel van veiligheid gaf. Als er de volgende ochtend een knuffel was verplaatst, of mijn deken was omgewoeld, wist ik het zeker: iemand was die nacht in mijn kamer gekomen. Ik was vijf jaar, en doodsbang.

Toen ik zeven was had ik mijn eerste slaapverlamming. Ik viel in slaap, schoot weer wakker, maar kon me niet bewegen. Mijn lichaam was volledig verlamd. Iemand fluisterde constant mijn naam in mijn oor, en ik hoorde ratelend, mechanisch gezoem – zoals een wasmachine. Zodra ik wakker schoot, liep ik naar mijn moeder om het te vertellen. Ze zei dat er niets was waar ik me zorgen over hoefde te maken.

Het is nooit mijn moeders intentie geweest, maar vanaf dat moment durfde ik niet meer over mijn ervaring te praten. Ondertussen werd het steeds erger.

Toen ik een dertien was werden die nachten alsmaar intenser. Tijdens een nacht hoorde ik weer dat mechanische gezoem. Ik was volledig verlamd en terwijl ik me wilde omdraaien, voelde ik dat mijn benen werden opengeduwd. Plots had ik het gevoel dat er een grote nagel van misschien wel vijftien centimeter bij me naar binnendrong, en mijn eitjes weggeschraapt werden. Ik voelde me misbruikt en dacht dat ik krankzinnig was geworden, maar wilde er nog steeds met niemand over praten. Een van mijn rauwste ervaringen was een ontmoeting met een man die me vertelde dat ik was uitgekozen om seks te hebben met een god. Hij vertelde me dat het een eer was, en dat het respectloos was om het af te wijzen, maar ik wilde het niet. Toch liet ik me ompraten, maar de seks was allesbehalve spiritueel of verlichtend. Ik werd wakker met een intense pijn aan mijn vagina. Het was een ongelooflijk traumatiserende ervaring.

Die slechte nachtrust en vreselijke ervaringen zorgden ervoor dat ik op instorten stond. Ik was zodanig futloos en angstig, dat mijn moeder me naar school moest brengen en weer ophalen, anders hield ik het niet vol. Mijn moeder besefte dat er iets moest veranderen en probeerde zich open te stellen voor mijn vreemde verhalen, om beter te kunnen begrijpen wat er met me gebeurde.

Vanaf toen ben ik mijn ervaringen en dromen gaan analyseren en bestuderen. Ik kwam erachter dat ik me tijdens die verlamming in een andere dimensie bevond, mee kon luisteren met de gesprekken, en zelfs mee kon praten. Zo ontdekte ik steeds beter wat er met me aan het gebeuren was. Elke nacht leerde ik meer van de wezens die me bezochten, door naar gesprekken te luisteren en te kijken naar wat er om me heen gebeurde. Ik werd steeds minder bang, omdat ik zo leerde dat die wezens me geen kwaad wilden doen. Ik bleek namelijk enkel een onderdeel te zijn van hun voorplantingprogramma – ze gebruiken mijn eitjes om nieuwe wezens te maken. Door deze kennis kon ik langzaam herstellen van al die traumatiserende nachten.

Je vraagt je waarschijnlijk af hoe zeker ik ben dat dit me allemaal echt is overkomen. Ten eerste herinner ik me de gesprekken net zo helder als telefoongesprekken. Mijn zus – die altijd naast me sliep – heeft bovendien het bed geregeld zien bewegen, en me vaak vreemde dingen horen zeggen in mijn slaap. Ook werd ik soms wakker met fysiek letsel, zoals twee blauwe plekjes op de plaatsen waar ik een injectie kreeg door een alien tijdens mijn uittreding. Toch zijn ook dat niet echt bewijzen, althans niet voor de buitenwereld, maar ik hoef me ook niet meer te bewijzen. Ik weet wat ik meegemaakt heb, en ik heb het ook nooit anders gekend

Radioactive sheep found in Australia bolster claims that Israel conducted illegal nuclear weapon test over the Indian Ocean four decades ago

• Study sheds new light on the mysterious September 22, 1979 Vela Incident
• Double flash was detected over the southern Indian Ocean by US satellite
• Security experts long suspected Israeli nuclear test with South African help
• Now researchers reveal radioactive isotope found in Australia sheep thyroid 
• The also analyze hydroacoustic signal detected by undersea US listening net
• Israel remains mum and dismisses claim as 'simply a ridiculous assumption'

Radioactive isotopes found in Australian sheep have added credence to the theory that Israel conducted an illegal nuclear test over the Indian Ocean 39 years ago.

The findings, published in a new study for Science and Global Security, shed intriguing new light on the mysterious Vela Incident, as it is known, of September 22, 1979.

At 12.53am GMT on the date, the US satellite Vela 6911 detected the 'double flash' characteristic of a nuclear explosion in the southern Indian Ocean, near the Prince Edward Islands about halfway between Africa and Antarctica.

Advisors to then-President Jimmy Carter rushed to brief him on the incident, and security officials immediately speculated that the event was an Israeli nuclear test conducted in cooperation with apartheid South Africa, Carter wrote in his memoirs.

However, an official US government panel convened to study the matter delivered an equivocal finding that downplayed the likelihood of a nuclear explosion. 

Israel, whose presumed nuclear arsenal is considered an open secret by many, has steadfastly refuse to confirm or deny whether it has a nuclear program.

Now, the new study by Christopher Wright of the Australian Defence Force Academy and retired Swedish Defence Research Agency nuclear physicist Lars-Erik De Geer, offers new clues.

The researchers reveal the discovery of iodine-131 in the thyroids of some Australian sheep in October and November of 1979. The thyroids were sent to the US for analysis at the time, but the results were never made public. 

The researchers write that the isotope levels 'would be consistent with them having grazed in the path of a potential radioactive fallout plume from a 22 September low-yield nuclear test in the Southern Indian Ocean.'

The findings include analysis of weather patterns that suggest the fallout plume from a nuclear explosion would have looped over parts of Australia.

As well, the study analyzes declassified descriptions of an underwater sound wave detected by US listening posts that correlated with the double flash near the Prince Edward Islands, which are uninhabited except for a South African government research station.

The new study 'removes virtually all doubt that the 'flash' was a nuclear explosion,' Leonard Weiss wrote for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

'This strengthens previous analyses concluding that Israel likely carried out a nuclear test in violation of US law and the Limited Test Ban Treaty,' the nuclear nonproliferation expert wrote.

'Israel was the only country that had the technical ability and policy motivation to carry out such a clandestine test, which, according to some sources, was the last of several and was detected by the Vela satellite because of a sudden change in cloud cover,' Weiss wrote.

Israel for its part maintains a strategic silence on the question of a nuclear weapons arsenal.

Asked if Israel was responsible for the Vela Incident, Israel's Ambassador to New Zealand, Itzhak Gerberg, told the New Zealand Herald: 'Simply a ridiculous assumption that does not hold water.' 

The Limited Test Ban Treaty went into force in 1963 and bans nuclear explosions in the atmosphere, in outer space, and under water, rendering legal only those nuclear tests performed underground. 

Israel signed the treaty in 1963 and ratified it in 1964.

With as many nuclear weapons as there are out there in the world, it’s amazing there haven’t been more mishaps, accidents, or rogue detonations. While there have been a few close calls like the 1961 Goldsboro B-52 crash in my home state of North Carolina, so far we’ve been lucky not to have any major incidents. That we know of, that is.

Although it’s kind of hard to hide a mushroom cloud. Unless it’s underground or underwater…

While a nuclear weapon detonation would be pretty difficult to conceal, unexplained clouds of radiation circling the globe over the last year or two might suggest that someone is testing weapons on the sly. While in this most recent case there’s little to go on other than anomalous radiation detection, a still unexplained incident from 1979 came complete with an unidentified double flash of bright light. The American-operated Vela Hotel satellite detected two anomalous bright flashes of light near the Prince Edward Islands off the coast of Antarctica. It was determined at the time that the flashes likely came from a secret nuclear detonation – yet the perpetrator remained unknown.

Now, new research conducted by scientists at the Otago University at Wellington add to the suspicion that the Vela incident was indeed a nuclear detonation. The researchers examined previously unpublished studies of sheep thyroid glands conducted by U.S. military researchers in Australia following the incident and discovered abnormally high levels of iodine-131, a byproduct of nuclear weapons. According to their publication, these findings support the theory that the Vela anomaly was indeed the result of a clandestine nuclear test:

Iodine-131 found in the thyroids of some Australian sheep would be consistent with them having grazed in the path of a potential radioactive fallout plume from a 22 September low-yield nuclear test in the Southern Indian Ocean. Further, several declassified letters and reports which describe aspects of still classified hydroacoustic reports and data favor the test scenario.

Based on intelligence gathered by American spy agencies, it was assumed in the wake of the incident that Israel and South Africa likely conducted a joint nuclear test. That intelligence was then likely buried in order to preserve the United States’ strategic alliance with Israel. Even so, Otago University’s Nick Wilson told the New Zealand Herald that this study of sheep thyroids “adds to the evidence base that this was an illegal nuclear weapons test, very likely to have been conducted by Israel with assistance from the apartheid regime in South Africa,” a test which would have been in violation with the Limited Test Ban Treaty.

Who knew sheep thyroids could help solve one of the world’s nuclear mystery?

This incident really has to make you wonder: how many nuclear detonations or tests have gone undetected or have been assumed to be something else entirely? Even if the answer is “one,” it’s a pretty chilling thought.
