Please be aliens, please be aliens, please be aliens... Boffins discover mystery mass beneath Moon's biggest crater

My God, it's full of... really dense metal?

By Richard Speed 

Eggheads in Texas have discovered a huge, dense mass lurking beneath an enormous crater on the Moon.

The Baylor University study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, combined data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) missions and found the huge blob lurking over a hundred miles beneath the South Pole-Aitken basin.

The mass, which isn't immediately obvious on the surface, appears to be dragging down the lunar landscape above it by around half a mile. In terms of size, lead author of the paper, Peter B. James, compared it to a pile of metal five times the size of Hawaii's big island.

The South Pole-Aitken basin itself is an impact crater on the far side of the Moon, and measures approximately 1,600 miles in diameter and 8.1 miles deep. It is one of the largest known impact craters in the Solar System and is home to China's Chang'e 4 lander and the Yutu 2 trundlebot.

The scientists have a number of theories for where this mass could have come from, including one that involves the solidification of an ocean of lunar magma.

The leading theory posits the mass comes from an asteroid with an iron-nickel core that smacked into the lunar surface four billion years ago. Scientists calculated that a sufficiently dispersed impactor core could remain suspended in the Moon's mantle rather than sink to the core.

Having recently enjoyed a visit to the Stanley Kubrick exhibition at London’s Design Museum, we at The Register have another theory. The only logical explanation is that Arthur C. Clarke's writing was more prediction than fiction, and that lurking beneath the surface is a colossally dense monolith.

Threaten

While the enormous mass of the finding on the Moon speaks to something somewhat larger and more blobby than Clarke’s neat 1:4:9 object, poked at by a fictional Heywood Floyd, in the interests of whimsy we'll give it a pass. Although the fact it also wasn't found in the relatively youthful Tycho crater either threatens to snap the increasingly tenuous link.

Joking aside, NASA has, of course, lately been interested in finding water on the Moon to support future human missions. However, charting the lunar gravitational field has also been a priority, with the two spacecraft of the GRAIL mission charting variations in gravity, including mascons (mass concentrations), often associated with craters.

The South Pole-Aitken basin, however, is different. Rather than the typical bulls-eye affair seen with mascons, the data suggests a huge sub-surface mass.

As with all good science, the discovery has created more questions, some of which may be answered by future missions to the region.

We, however, look forward to astronauts unearthing something of impenetrable blackness before embarking on a doomed jaunt to Jupiter, accompanied by a glitching AI. Google and Microsoft probably have just the thing.

Thanks to the anonymous Register reader for drawing our attention to the mystery mass on the Moon. ®

Rare Meteorites on Earth Forged in Massive Crash on Asteroid Vesta

By Charles Q. Choi

Mysterious rare meteorites made of a mix of stone and iron likely formed when Vesta, the brightest asteroid in the sky, experienced a giant impact, a new study finds.

That impact took place more than 4.5 billion years ago when a still-young Vesta and a hunk of rock about a tenth its size collided and the latter penetrated all the way to Vesta's core, the researchers argue. The resulting meteorites have let the scientists piece together a more detailed biography of the large asteroid, lead author Makiko Haba, a planetary scientist at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, told Space.com.

There are three main groups of meteorites: stony, iron and stony-iron. Stony meteorites, the largest group, formed from the outer crust of an asteroid or planet and are made up mostly of silicon-rich minerals known as silicates. Iron meteorites, the next most common kind, consist mostly of iron and nickel and formed from the core of asteroids or planets. The rarest kind of meteorite are the stony-iron meteorites, containing about equal parts of stone and iron.

One kind of stony-iron meteorite are mesosiderites, the chemistry of which suggested their ingredients came from both the stony crust and the molten metallic core of an asteroid, but oddly not the mantle layer in between, raising questions as to how that might have occurred.

Now, researchers suggest these mystery meteorites originated after a colossal impact that Vesta, the second-largest asteroid known, experienced in the early days of the solar system. "We propose a new evolutionary history for Vesta," Haba said.

The scientists analyzed five mesosiderites that were unearthed from Chile, Iowa and northwest Africa between1861 and 2014. They noted that zircon crystals in the meteorites likely formed when metals in these mesosiderites were molten. The physical features of the crystals and metals in the meteorites suggested these materials mixed in the molten core of an asteroid about 330 miles (530 kilometers) wide, matching Vesta, they said.

Haba and her colleagues next analyzed about two dozen zircon crystalsextracted from the five mesosiderites. After examining levels of uranium and lead isotopes in these zircons, they concluded that the silicates in these meteorites formed about 4.55 billion years ago and the silicates and metals mixed about 4.52 billion years ago. 

The scientists proposed that after Vesta formed and cooled enough to separate into distinct crust, mantle and core layers, a rock about one-tenth the size of Vesta smashed into the asteroid. This hit-and-run collision blasted a crater on Vesta's northern hemisphere that reached all the way into the asteroid's core, they said.

Some of the debris from this impact, made up from all three of Vesta's layers, fell back onto the asteroid, mostly on Vesta's southern hemisphere, the researchers wrote. This would explain the unusually thick crust that NASA's Dawn spacecraft detected at Vesta's south pole.

A pair of overlapping impact craters seen near Vesta's south pole from two collisions — one likely occurring about 2 billion years ago, the other about 1 billion years ago — could have dislodged rocks made up of mixtures of materials from Vesta's crust and core. This would explain the mesosiderites seen on Earth, the researchers said.

"We found that this model can explain all problems regarding Vesta," Haba said. "It was a eureka moment."

All in all, "we determined the precise timing of mesosiderite formation on Vesta and demonstrated that we could reconstruct Vesta's evolution based on this chronology," Haba said. "This is a first step for us, and we will apply this concept to as many other planetary bodies as possible."

The scientists detailed their findings online today (June 10) in the journal Nature Geoscience.

White Holes: Black Holes' Neglected Twins

By Charlie Wood

You've heard of black holes, but what about their inverted twins — white holes?

This visualization shows a jet blasting from a black hole near the speed of light. In theory, a white hole looks similar to a black hole, but instead of sucking matter in, a white hole pushes matter away.

White holes were long thought to be a figment of general relativity born from the same equations as their collapsed star brethren, black holes. More recently, however, some theorists have been asking whether these twin vortices of spacetime may be two sides of the same coin.

To a spaceship crew watching from afar, a white hole looks exactly like a black hole. It has mass. It might spin. A ring of dust and gas could gather around the event horizon — the bubble boundary separating the object from the rest of the universe. But if they kept watching, the crew might witness an event impossible for a black hole — a belch. "It's only in the moment when things come out that you can say, 'ah, this is a white hole,'" said Carlo Rovelli, a theoretical physicist at the Centre de Physique Théorique in France. 

Physicists describe a white hole as a black hole's "time reversal," a video of a black hole played backwards, much as a bouncing ball is the time reversal of a falling ball. While a black hole's event horizon is a sphere of no return, a white hole's event horizon is a boundary of no admission — space-time's most exclusive club. No spacecraft will ever reach the region's edge. 

Objects inside a white hole can leave and interact with the outside world, but since nothing can get in, the interior is cut off cut off from the universe's past: No outside event will ever affect the inside. "Somehow it's more disturbing to have a singularity in the past that can affect everything in the outside world," said James Bardeen, a black-hole pioneer and professor emeritus at the University of Washington. 

 

Twin no man’s lands

Einstein's field equations hit physics like a tsunami in 1915, and theorists are still sorting through the wreckage. Beyond describing the force of gravity, his hypotheses also brought a paradigm-shattering message about the nature of reality. More than a rigid backdrop, space and time bend and fold along with the mass of stars and planets. That insight sparked a race to calculate just how much abuse space could take from the matter that drifts through it. 

Within a year, physicist and astronomer Karl Schwarzschild found the first exact solution to Einstein's equations, calculating how space-time curves around a single ball of mass. In his answer lay the seeds of what physicists today call a singularity — a spherical mass shrunken down to an infinitely dense point, wrapping space around it so tightly that the region pinches off from the rest of the universe. It forms a no man's land whose event horizon fractures the link between cause and effect. 

Black holes, the most famous singularities, are regions of space so warped that no exits exist. The outside universe can influence the inside of a black hole's horizon, but the interior can't affect the exterior. 

When mathematician Martin David Kruskal extended Schwarzchild's black hole description in 1960 to cover all domains of space and time, his new picture contained a reflection of the black hole singularity, although he didn't realized its significance at the time. Later, as black holes entered the vernacular, a natural term emerged for their theoretical twins. 

"It took 40 years to understand black holes, and it's only recently that people have been focusing on white holes," Rovelli said.

The Event Horizon Telescope, a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration, captured this image of the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M87 and its shadow.

Why white holes don't exist

While general relativity describes white holes in theory, no one knows how one might actually form. A black hole cordons off its bit of space when a star collapses into a tiny volume, but playing this video backwards doesn't make physical sense. An event horizon exploding into a functional star would look a bit like an egg unscrambling itself — a violation of the statistical law demanding that the universe gets messier over time. 

Even if large white holes did form, they probably wouldn't hang around too long. Any outgoing matter would collide with the matter in orbit, and the system would collapse into a black hole. "A long-lived white hole, I think, is very unlikely," said Hal Haggard, a theoretical physicist at Bard College in New York.

Why white holes might exist 

For a while, white holes seemed to share the fate of wormholes — mathematically permissible contortions of space-time likely prohibited by reality. But in recent years, some physicists have brought white holes back in an attempt to save their darker siblings from an unseemly death. 

Ever since Stephen Hawking realized in the 1970s that black holes leak energy, physicists have debated how the entities could possibly shrivel up and die. If a black hole evaporates away, many ask, what happens to the internal record of everything it swallowed? General relativity won't let the information out and quantum mechanics forbids its deletion. 

"How does a black hole die? We don't know. How is a white hole born? Maybe a white hole is the death of black hole," Rovelli said. "The two questions join nicely, but you have to violate the general relativity equations in the passage from one to the other."

Rovelli is a founder of quantum loop gravity, an incomplete attempt to move beyond general relativity by describing space itself as built from Lego-style particles. Guided by tools from this framework, he and others describe a scenario where a black hole grows so small that it no longer obeys the common-sense rules of stars and billiard balls. On the particle level, quantum randomness takes over and the black hole could transform into a white hole.

Such a microgram-size white hole, being similar in mass to a human hair, would have none of the gravitational drama of its black hole ancestor, according to Haggard, but would hide a cavernous interior containing the information of everything it had swallowed in its previous life. Too small to attract orbiting matter, the white hole might remain stable enough to eventually spit out all the information accumulated by its forerunner. 

In this picture, white holes would one day come to dominate the universe, after the stars have burnt out and black holes have withered. Any observers then could easily detect the objects as relatively large particles Haggard speculates, but those days are countless trillions of times the current age of the universe in the future. "It's the craziest time scale I've seen in physics," Haggard said. 

The ultimate white hole

Alternatively, the aftermath of a white hole may exist everywhere. To black hole physicists, the Big Bang's explosion of matter and energy looks like potential white hole behavior. "The geometry is very similar in the two cases," Haggard said. "Even to the point of being mathematically identical at times." 

Cosmologists call this picture the "the Big Bounce," and some seek characteristic white hole features in the universe's earliest observable light. Rovelli also wonders if violent radio bursts represent the cries of theoretical mini black holes left over from the Big Bang as they make an early transition into white holes (although this explanation appears increasingly unlikely). 

The universe may not contort itself into all the shapes general relativity allows, but Haggard thinks physicists should follow this rabbit hole all the way to the end. "Why wouldn't you investigate whether they [white holes] have interesting consequences," he said. "It may be that those consequences aren't what you expected, but it would be foolhardy to ignore them."

The Search for Habitable Alien Worlds in Earth's Backyard Heats Up

A new planet-hunting instrument has begun studying our bright neighboring star system, Alpha Centauri.

Coronagraphs block the superbright light of stars, potentially allowing dim orbiting planets to be seen. Since NEAR is a thermal coronagraph, team members are looking for heat radiated by worlds in the Alpha Centauri system rather than visible-range starlight reflected off their surfaces.

Alpha Centauri is a three-star system that lies about 4.37 light-years from the sun. Two of the three stars are sunlike neighbors that together form a binary system called Alpha Centauri AB. The third star, Proxima Centauri, is a small, dim, more far-flung red dwarf. (Proxima Centauri is the closest individual star to the sun, located about 4.2 light-years away.)

In 2016, astronomers discovered a roughly Earth-size planet circling Proxima Centauri. This planet, known as Proxima b, appears to lie in the habitable zone, the just-right range of distances where liquid water might be stable on a planet's surface. 

This past April, astronomers announced the detection of another possible planet circling farther away from Proxima Centauri. This world, known as Proxima c, has yet to be confirmed, however; it remains a planet candidate. 

No planets are known to reside near the binary star Alpha Centauri AB, but NEAR may change that fact. The coronagraph — a joint project of ESO and Breakthrough Watch, a program that hunts for potentially Earth-like planets around nearby stars — upgrades an existing VLT instrument called VISIR (VLT Spectrometer and Imager for the Mid-infrared). 

This upgrade slashes the overwhelming glare of the two parent stars and optimizes the instrument's sensitivity in infrared wavelengths that might be given off by a habitable-zone planet. NEAR also employs "adaptive optics" to compensate for the blur induced by Earth's atmosphere, Breakthrough Watch representatives said.

"NEAR is the first and (currently) only project that could directly image a habitable exoplanet," Breakthrough Watch lead scientist Olivier Guyon said in a statement. "It marks an important milestone. Fingers crossed — we are hoping a large habitable planet is orbiting Alpha Cen A or B."

NEAR is capable of spotting planets about twice Earth's size or bigger in the Alpha Centauri system, project team members said. 

The "first light" operations that kicked off on May 23 run through tomorrow (June 11), and represent 100 hours of observing time.

Breakthrough Watch is part of the Breakthrough Initiatives, a suite of programs designed primarily to search for alien life. The initiatives also include the SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) program Breakthrough Listen and Breakthrough Starshot, which aims to launch superfast laser-sailing probes to Proxima b and other nearby exoplanets in the next 30 years or so.

"Human beings are natural explorers," Breakthrough Initiatives founder Yuri Milner said in the same statement. "It is time we found out what lies beyond the next valley. This telescope will let us gaze across."

Weird 'Anomaly' at the Moon's South Pole May Be a Metal Asteroid's Grave

By Meghan Bartels

The research relied on two key missions in NASA's moon-exploration portfolio. The GRAIL mission included two spacecraft, which spent more than a year orbiting the moon, with each spacecraft using the other to map the gravitational tug of the moon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has spent nearly 10 years at work and has made billions of measurements of the precise height of the moon's surface.

When it comes to the South Pole-Aitken basin, the topography is particularly striking. The feature is a massive crater stretching 1,240 miles (2,000 kilometers) across the far side of the moon, making it the largest crater planetary scientists know of to date. As the name implies, it's located near the south pole of the moon as well, and experts believe it was created perhaps 4 billion years ago.

So when the team saw an increase in the gravitational tug of the moon roughly lining up with the neighborhood of the South Pole-Aitken basin, the scientists wondered if the anomaly could trace directly back to the crater itself. "One of the explanations of this extra mass is that the metal from the asteroid that formed this crater is still embedded in the moon's mantle," James said.

Another possible explanation for the anomaly, the researchers wrote, is that the area is rich in oxides, which likely would have formed as the moon's ancient magma ocean cooled and solidified.

However it formed, the fact that the mass anomaly is still so prominent and that it seems to be located about 186 miles (300 km) down also offers scientists an intriguing idea: These facts suggest that the moon's insides can't be all that gooey; if they were, the moon's gravity would pull the massive patch into the lunar center.

The research is described in a paper published April 5 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

UFO Crash On Snowy Island In South Pole Region, Google Earth Map, UFO Sighting News.

Coordinates: 61°28'6.31"S 55°33'28.87"W

(Google Earth )

I was using Google map to find Nazi bases or alien bases or plane crashes in the polar regions when I accidentally came across this crashed alien ship. It looks like it crashed long ago. The crash marks behind it go for several hundred meters. The ship itself is about 118 meters across according to Google ruler. The black window cockpit area is easy to make out. The nose of the craft is pointed and becomes wider at the pilots area, then thins at its middle and becomes wide at its back again. Also one of the fins on its back is folded upward. Just like some aircraft can fold their wings upwards to store them. 

I have to feel bad for an alien that lands on this island. There seems to be nothing here. A crash landing means almost certain death unless he was able to call rescuers to come get him. But a craft this big would easily carry several hundred passengers. Since its the size is 118 meters and a 747 is 76 meters, we can assume since the 747 can carry 416 passengers. This means the crash UFO could have had hundreds of people on board at the time of the crash...and they may be dead inside the craft if they were not rescued or died in the crash.

UFO Leak of the Century! Richard Dolan

Get “Suppressed Health Secrets” and find out what THEY don’t want you to know!

Richard Dolan, of the world’s leading researchers and writers on the subject of UFO’s, discusses a major leak providing powerful confirmation of secret special access programs to study retrieved UFO technology.  Skeptics will be hard pressed to debunk these documents making the case for “deep black” UFO related programs beyond  formal government oversight.

In this video, Richard Dolan analyzes the Admiral Wilson notes which are bombshell information!   This is only the tip of the iceberg though since whistleblowers have come out about our own secret space program and said we have bases on the Moon, Mars and many other planets.  In fact according to these secret space program whistleblowers we have a very large fleet of interstellar starships going to other star systems!   But this information discussed by Dolan shows smoking gun document proof we have been reverse engineering crashed UFOs for a very long time.  This is proof there is a deeply classified project studying at least one crashed UFO.  Obviously if they are admitting to one then there are obviously hundreds!  This leak is probably an attempt at a “baby step” in disclosure.   Get this story out everywhere patriots!

The Biggest Thing to Hit the U.K. in Past 1.2 Billion Years

Scientists believe they have discovered the site of the biggest meteorite impact ever to hit the British Isles.

Evidence for the ancient, 1.2 billion years old, meteorite strike, was first discovered in 2008 near Ullapool, NW Scotland by scientists from Oxford and Aberdeen Universities. The thickness and extent of the debris deposit they found suggested the impact crater – made by a meteorite estimated at 1km wide – was close to the coast, but its precise location remained a mystery.

Now and again I’ll find myself on the receiving end of a report in which the witness encounters a large, red-eyed black dog or a giant wolf staring at them while in bed or on the bed. And usually in the dead of night; sometimes, however, during the day. Typically, the witnesses – awakened by the animals – are unable to move at the time of the encounters. A deep sense of dread suddenly envelopes them. Then, suddenly, after a few moments or even minutes, the creatures are gone. From a woman who as a young girl had a traumatic encounter with an infernal, supernatural hound at the height of the Second World War, we have the following: “At the time, because of the war, my mother and I usually stayed with an elderly gentleman, who had kindly taken us in as ‘refugees’ from London. We only went back to the capital when the bombing ceased. The cottage where we lived is still in existence, in Bredon, Worcestershire. My encounter took place one late afternoon in summer, when I had been sent to bed, but was far from sleepy.”

She continued: “I was sitting at the end of the big brass bedstead, playing with the ornamental knobs, and looking out of the window, when I was aware of a scratching noise, and an enormous black dog had walked from the direction of the fireplace to my left. It passed round the end of the bed, towards the door. As the dog passed between me and the window, it swung its head round to stare at me – it had very large eyes, which glowed from inside as if lit up, and as it looked at me I was quite terrified, and very much aware of the creature’s breath, which was warm and as strong as a gust of wind.

“The animal must have been very tall, as I was sitting on the old-fashioned bedstead, which was quite high, and our eyes were level. Funnily enough, by the time it reached the door, it had vanished. I assure you that I was wide awake at the time, and sat on for quite some long while wondering about what I had seen, and to be truthful, too scared to get into our bed, under the clothes and go to sleep. I clearly remember my mother and our host, sitting in the garden in the late sun, talking and hearing the ringing of the bell on the weekly fried-fish van from Birmingham, as it went through the village! I am sure I was not dreaming, and have never forgotten the experience, remembering to the last detail how I felt, what the dog looked like.” Moving on…

Dion Fortune was an occultist, mystic, and the author of a number of acclaimed works, and whose real name was Violet Mary Firth. Fortune, who died in 1946 at the age of fifty-five, was someone who was skilled at creating monsters in the mind and who then unleashed them into the world around her. Fortune made it very clear, however, that creating a mind-monster rarely has a positive outcome. It is something that each and every one of us should take careful heed of. Her story is as fascinating as it is disturbing:

“The artificial elemental is constructed by forming a clear-cut image in the imagination of the creature it is intended to create, ensouling it with something of the corresponding aspect of one’s own being, and then invoking into it the appropriate natural force. This method can be used for good as well as evil, and ‘guardian angels’ are formed in this way. It is said that dying women, anxious concerning the welfare of their children, frequently form them unconsciously. I myself once had an exceedingly nasty experience in which I formulated a were-wolf accidentally. Unpleasant as the incident was, I think it may be just as well to give it publicity, for it shows what may happen when an insufficiently disciplined and purified nature is handling occult forces.

“I had received serious injury from someone who, at considerable cost to myself, I had disinterestedly helped, and I was sorely tempted to retaliate. Lying on my bed resting one afternoon, I was brooding over my resentment, and while so brooding, drifted towards the borders of sleep. There came to my mind the thought of casting off all restraints and going berserk. The ancient Nordic myths rose before me, and I thought of Fenris [also known as Fenrir], the Wolf-horror of the North. Immediately I felt a curious drawing-out sensation from my solar plexus, and there materialized beside me on the bed a large wolf. It was a well-materialized ectoplasmic form. It was grey and colorless, and had weight. I  could  distinctly  feel  its  back  pressing  against  me  as  it  lay  beside  me  on  the  bed  as  a  large  dog  might.

“I knew nothing about the art of making elementals at that time, but had accidentally stumbled upon the right method – the brooding highly charged with emotion, the invocation of the appropriate natural force, and the condition between sleeping and waking in which the etheric double readily extrudes.”

Altogether, I have eleven cases in my files of sightings by the bed of large black dogs (with blazing red eyes) and supernatural wolves. Of course, the skeptic would very likely say that because the encounters occurred in bedrooms and so often well into the early hours of the morning, the witnesses were just having particularly vivid dreams. And as for the inability of the witnesses to move, it may be suggested that sleep paralysis is the culprit. Perhaps so. But, in all of the cases? And why so many deeply similar incidents, in terms of the specific appearances of the creatures that are encountered time and again?

Nightmares or nightmarish creatures? It’s a question I ponder on.

Plankton! First Ever Video Of Actual Living Creatures In Space, June 2019, UFO Sightings News.

These appear to be algae based plankton. These plankton are slow to move because they are algae based. They use the suns energy to turn carbon dioxide into sugars which equals food for them, and grow well on the glass and solar panels because of all the sunlight reflecting there.

Now Russian astronauts announced to the world that they found large plankton growing on the space stations solar panels about 3-4 years ago. Russia...not NASA announced it. It was in world news...but finally here are some videos of the creatures. You are looking at aliens. Non intelligent, but nevertheless...alive. 

As far as I know, its the first photos of the actual plankton themselves. 

If plankton can live in space, can there be space whales which feed off of them? Who knows? SCW

CIA Document Shows What Happened After The KGB Shot Down A UFO

By Arjun Walia

IN BRIEF

• The Facts:

  A document stores in the CIA's electronic reading room describes what happened when the KGB took down a UFO with a surface to air missiles. The object was extraterrestrial and retaliation ensued.

• Reflect On:

  Would it be easy for an intelligent extraterrestrial to visit Earth? It doesn't seem so, it seems our reaction is always to shoot first and ask questions after. Is this really an intelligent decision?

Global governments and intelligence agencies around the world have released hundreds of thousands of pages of documents pertaining to the UFO phenomenon over the past few years. These files indicate that objects are commonly tracked on radar and pursued by our own military craft, which are then sent out to take a closer look. The files also reveal there have been sightings of strange objects travelling at tremendous speeds and performing maneuvers that no known aircraft is capable of performing.

These types of UFOs might now be officially verified within the mainstream, but they’ve been seen, photographed, and recorded by credible witnesses for decades. For example, here’s a document (straight from the CIA’s FOIA Electronic Reading Room) pertaining to “a group of red, green, and yellow flying saucers” that were seen “hovering” over multiple military bases in Antarctica. Here’sanother detailing how, when intercepters approached the object, pilots lost “all instrumentation and communications.” Here’sa great interview (and there’s no shortage of them) with navy commander pilot Graham Bethune, who describes another extraordinary in-flight encounter.

These objects are thought to be extraterrestrial in origin, not only because of their technological superiority, but also because many high-ranking political and military insiders, along with prestigious academics, have shared information they’ve been privy to regarding actual intelligent extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet. There could be several different groups doing so at the present moment. It may sound far-fetched, but as we move through 2017 and beyond, bits of truth will continue to leak out, and the “official campaign of secrecy and ridicule” that Roscoe Hillenkoetter described to the New York Times in 1960 may come to an end.

That being said, once this box is opened, everything will change. It will have tremendous implications for humanity — philosophically, scientifically, and technologically. Our world would change forever.

The Document

It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that the CIA  and other U.S. intelligence agencies were keeping tabs on other countries. We know spying happens all the time, and other governments probably did the same to North American governments as well.

The UFO issue has obviously been of extreme interest to these agencies, given the scale of resources put toward investigating it. One document within the CIA archives also shows that they were interested in reports of actual extraterrestrial bodies.

For example, here is one that was addressed to “certain scientists of distinction,” to “aeronautical and military authorities,” and to “a number of public officials.” The document, stored in the FBI database, shows interest in a letter written by someone with “several university degrees”  and a former “university department head.” It provides information, (on pages 21 and 22) about extraterrestrial beings, their craft, how they operate, and where they come from.

Again, the question to ask here is, why were intelligence agencies so interested in this? They continue to investigate any reports of extraterrestrial bodies, and I have to wonder if it’s because they’ve had secrets of their own. Is it because, as Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell once put it so bluntly, “there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered”?

When you study ufology, you come across all sorts of stories, and one interesting thing these stories seem to share is that “they” (whoever is operating these crafts) are not interested in confrontation.

For example, in a (well-known) document released via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Four-Star General Nathan Twinning wrote that the “phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious” and that “the reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly air-craft and radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or remotely.”

The key word there is “evasive.” This point was also made a few years ago by former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer, who stated that, “Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But Instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after.” In that same speech, he also mentions the fact that, as a result of our own displays of aggression, the UFOs started to take “corrective measures to avoid our air-craft,” and that some pilots actually lost their lives as a result of retaliation.

The KGB Incident

Which brings us to a document, stored in the CIA archives, that describes how Mikhail Gorbachev — who, by the way, once publicly stated that “the phenomenon of UFOs does exist, and it must be treated seriously” — was “dissolved.”

It’s a document keeping tabs on a report a media outlet put out, which again, clearly shows a high level of interest from them.

It states that “U.S. intelligence obtained a 250-page file on the  attack by a UFO on a military unit in Siberia,” and it goes on to describe something extraordinary:

The file contains not only many documentary photographs and drawings, but also testimonies by actual participants in the events. One of the CIA representatives referred to this case as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one’s blood freeze.”

According to the KGB materials, a quite low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer appeared above a military unit that was conducting routine training maneuvers. For unknown reasons, somebody unexpectedly launched a surface-to-air missile and hit the UFO. It fell to Earth not far away, and five short humanoids with “large heads and large black eyes” emerged from it.

It is stated in the testimonies by the two soldiers who remained alive that, after freeing themselves from the debris, the aliens came close together and then “merged into a single object that acquired a spherical shape.” That object began to buzz and hiss sharply, and then became a brilliant white. In a few seconds, the spheres grew much bigger and exploded by flaring up with an extrememly bright light. At that very instant, 23 soldiers who had watched the phenomenon turned into… stone poles. Only two soldiers who stood in the shade and were less exposed to the luminous explosion survived.

The document then goes on to state:

The KGB report goes on to say that the remains of the UFO and the “Petrified Soldiers” were transferred to a secret scientific research institution near Moscow. Specialists assume that a source of energy that is still unknown to Earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers’ living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whose molecular composition is no different from that of limestone.

The document ends with a comment from a CIA representative, who said,  “If the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case. The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions. They can stand up for themselves if attacked.”

The Takeaway

Quite remarkable, isn’t it? This isn’t the only story of retaliation with regards to what happens when our agencies encounter a UFO. Yet, in every instance, we are the instigators it seems. Today, UFOs are no longer taboo, most people are well aware of their existence and all of the evidence that’s gone towards verifying that. The new question is whether some of them are extraterrestrial and some of them are not. Stories like this one, and countless others, are the reason why the extraterrestrial hypothesis has so much validity.
