Who Is Doing the Abducting And How To Stop An Alien Abduction.jpg)
The New UFO Reality
Barney and Betty Hill holding a newspaper reporting their alleged alien abduction in the White Mountains on September 19, 1961.
September in New Hampshire is UFO season. Not in the sense that it’s our busiest month for UFO sightings. That, like most states, is June or July, when more people are outdoors. Not that sightings are much worth sighting anymore. We’re in a New UFO Reality, one where the government releases as much blurry footage of UFOs as do UFO conspiracists on YouTube. One where terrestrial drones of every shape and LED configuration zigzag the skies like they’re auditioning for Lady Gaga’s next Super Bowl appearance. One where that strange craft in the sky is probably just a billionaire playing “Brewster’s Millions” with his cash.
UFOs ain’t what they used to be. Once upon a time, a strange light in the sky could shake up a town, empty a police headquarters, get picked up in newspapers across the world, and make a small town famous. Once upon a time, a UFO would invite you inside and provide you with enough IP to go straight to Hollywood with that irresistible “based on a true story” hook. Once upon a time is a strange phrase to use when you’re talking about extraterrestrials.
That’s why, in New Hampshire, we celebrate our classic sightings. And September is our month for that. Because September was when two towering tentpoles of UFO lore happened here.
On September 19, 1961, husband and wife Betty and Barney Hill were driving home to Portsmouth after a vacation in Canada. It was almost midnight when they hit the dark hole in the state that is the White Mountains at night. That’s when they saw the light in the sky. One of those shake-up-a-town kind of lights in the sky. It seemed to be coming after them. Barney took a peek at it through binoculars, and what he saw terrified him into stomping the gas pedal.
But his 1957 Chevy Bel Air couldn’t outdrive the kind of technology that can cross interstellar space. He and his wife were stopped by the disc-shaped craft, and then disappointingly human-like aliens in shiny black uniforms took them inside to perform inscrutable medical-type tests on their bodies before letting them go. That’s the simple version, anyway. If you want all the details, you can read the popular book by John G. Fuller called “The Interrupted Journey” or watch the movie based on the story starring James Earl Jones and New Hampshire’s own Estelle Parsons (a Lakes Region seasonal lifeform) called “The UFO Incident.” Although you can probably guess the details yourself — after all, this alien abduction story set the template for every alien abduction story of the modern era.
Four years later, on the night of September 3, 1965, 18-year-old Norman Muscarello was at the end of a long hitchhike to his home in Exeter, just a town or two away from the home of the Hills in Portsmouth. He was thumbing down Route 150 when he saw five red lights blinking in sequence in the sky on what seemed to be a craft the size of a house. When the lights moved toward him, he dodged them in a ditch. Eventually, he made it into town and headed right for the police. Officer Eugene Bertrand returned with him to the site to check it out. It was the second report Bertrand had received that night about a UFO. Earlier, two women claimed that a red craft had chased them while they were driving.
The 1975 film “The UFO Incident” tells the story of Barney (portrayed by James Earl Jones) and Betty Hill (portrayed by Academy Award-winner Estelle Parsons), a couple from Portsmouth who encounter a UFO but decline to talk about it. Years later, their secret has put a strain on both themselves and their marriage. They visit a psychiatrist and, under hypnosis, deliver remarkably similar stories about what they say happened to them on that fateful night.
The first twist in the story is that, when Muscarello and Bertrand arrived, they both saw the red lights hovering over a farm. Bertrand radioed for backup and Officer David Hunt joined. The second twist is that he also saw the lights. The third twist is that, for the next few weeks, scores of UFO reports poured in. The Exeter Incident would become one of the most documented sightings in the lore. It also got a popular book by John G. Fuller, this one called “The Incident at Exeter.” No movie, though.
But the Hills’ experience and the Exeter flyover aren’t the only talking points for UFOs in New Hampshire. There’s the Derry Fairy, a short, loose-skinned Spielbergian creature witnessed in 1956 by Alfred Horne in the woods of Derry. He tried to catch it, but it screamed and got away (Reese’s Pieces wouldn’t be invented for another two decades). And there’s Daymond Steer of the Conway Daily Sun, who, in full accord with his journalistic duties, keeps asking presidential candidates where they stand on UFOs when they stump through the state. (Hillary Clinton said she would look into it before losing to Donald Trump.) For a while, people thought that the oldest UFO photo in the world was taken in New Hampshire. It dated to 1870 and depicted a cigar-shaped form against what looked like clouds above Mount Washington. The craft turned out to be a ruler in a snowbank.
UFOs sightings are still happening today in the state — a black speck racing above the Robert Frost Homestead in Derry, a silver orb in the clouds above Canterbury, a gray triangle hovering ten stories above Somersworth. But these days you have to dig deep into the digital to learn about those sightings. And they’re probably just drones. Or billionaires.
So what do we do in New Hampshire during UFO season besides look longingly at the sky (not for UFOs necessarily but out of nostalgia)? We can retrace the route of Betty and Barney Hill, all the way down old Route 3 to the sign in Lincoln that immortalizes their story and on to their graves in Kingston where their epitaphs still tout their encounter. And in Exeter, we can buy alien T-shirts and listen to UFO lectures at the annual Exeter UFO Festival. Well, we usually can. Covid has taken it down two years running. But it’ll be back. Until then, we’ll dream about the good ol’ days of UFOs.
Saucers of Secrets
That’s my UFO story in its briefest form. I’ve told it a number of times and would have told it more often if it made any sense. Glass lenses examining a cloud? That’s how I remember it. Leaves? Yep, plain old leaves. They fell close to the place we were — my girlfriend of the time and I — but too far away for us to retrieve any before they settled in the nearby woods.
This was in rural Northwest Florida, by the way, in 1975. Yes, the girlfriend remembers it (sort of). Yes, it was the 1970s with all that might imply. So it was probably a “temperature inversion” or something. Who knows? I’ve just never forgotten it.
There’s a lot of interesting stuff in this issue that might have inspired my monthly preliminary essay, but I guess I’ve always wanted to “reveal” my big UFO mystery and can’t think of a better time than September (UFO month in New Hampshire) in the year in which the Navy finally admits it’s got a real UFO problem with our floating-city battleships being pestered by what they tactfully describe as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.
I was a childhood “buff” regarding UFOs. I can still remember the pulp smell of the sensational magazines I’d buy at the drugstore filled with grainy photos of glowing hubcaps over farms. Like all childish things, I put my UFO magazines away at a point and got on with my life, adopting a skeptical mindset that whatever was happening to those hapless fishermen or drivers on lonely roads, it was probably happening inside the heads of the viewers more than in the sky.
Then, this year, a 2004 video (yes, grainy) shot by the targeting radar of an F/A-18 Super Hornet fighting jet flown by Cmdr. David Fravor of N.H. was made public and a slumbering hunk my 23-year-old self was reawakened just long enough to go, “Whoa.”
If you somehow haven’t seen it, Google Nimitz Tic Tac and enjoy the ride. Fravor, by the way, is just the latest in a long string of connections that the Granite State has to UFO history. Chances are you’ve heard about the Betty and Barney Hill abduction story and the Incident at Exeter. If not, please enjoy writer J.W. Ocher’s excellent summary starting on page 24 But, for true UFO investigators, the connections run even deeper.
The Hill’s hypnosis-restored memories of their abduction have become the standard blueprint for too-close-for-comfort encounters with aliens. The Exeter “incident” typifies another trope of UFO activity: Flying saucers seem to be attracted to nuclear technology like moths to a porchlight. At the time, nearby Pease Air Force Base was home to the 509th Bombardment Wing, a Strategic Air Command unit originally created just to drop an atom bomb on Japan.
But UFO secrets seem to pop up everywhere you look in New Hampshire and just a little digging in this fertile field tends to turn up new (at least to me) stories.
In October 1967, when a hypnotized Barney Hill was asked to describe his alien abductors, the man who captured it on a sketchpad was the late Jackson poet and artist David Baker — a local character who deserves his own feature (one of these days). Baker knew the Hills because of a shared love of jazz music.
His rough sketches, currently in the possession of the UNH Library, clearly reveal the now-iconic alien features: big heads, huge eyes, small mouths and nose slits. Baker explained that he took Barney’s description and embellished it a bit to add “the known laws of bone structure.”
Baker ran a popular roadside gallery in Jackson and was famous for his “vitreous flux” watercolor technique. His works still sell for thousands of dollars. His alien sketches, once for sale for a few hundred bucks, are now priceless artifacts of our state’s cosmic connections.

Crust of Dwarf Planet Ceres is Rich in Water Ice, New Research ConfirmsUsing high spatial-resolution data gathered by the Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector (GRaND) aboard NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, planetary researchers have detected elevated concentrations of hydrogen in and around Occator crater, which contains Ceres’ most prominent bright spots.
This false-color image shows the dwarf planet Ceres.

“The dwarf planet Ceres, the largest body in the main asteroid belt, is water-rich,” said Dr. Tom Prettyman, a senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute, and his colleagues.
“Ceres’ average interior structure consists of a rocky mantle and a 40-km- (25-mile) thick crust, dominated by the frozen remnants of an ancient, global ocean.”
“Rheological constraints indicate that the crust is volatile-rich, containing water ice, phyllosilicates, salts, and possibly clathrate hydrates.”
“The outermost meter of Ceres contains water ice that is gradually sublimating in response to heating of the surface by sunlight,” they said.
“Since Ceres’ axis of rotation is nearly perpendicular to the Sun’s rays, ice has receded to greater depths at the equator than the poles.”
“We hypothesized that impacts can bring water ice from the outer crust to the surface, replenishing the regolith with ice,” they added.
“As such, the distribution of near surface water ice in the upper few decimeters of the regolith as sensed by GRaND is shaped both by large impacts and long-term insolation-driven sublimation.”
“We tested this hypothesis with high-spatial-resolution GRaND data acquired in Dawn’s final mission phase.”
Impact processes as a partial control on the global distribution of hydrogen on Ceres: (a) a map of the density of large craters is compared to the global distribution of hydrogen measured by the Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector (GRaND) (white contours); a density of one indicates craters fully cover the surface within GRaND’s field of view; for context, the map is superimposed on shaded relief and excluded basins with diameters greater than 100 km (62 miles) are outlined (black); (b) a possible scenario for enrichment of surficial ice by large impacts is illustrated; a portion of the ice excavated from the crust survives during crater formation and cooling of the melt sheet and ejecta blanket, enriching the regolith in water ice; the surviving ice retreats in response to solar insolation.
Image credit: Prettyman et al., doi: 10.1029/2021GL094223.
The GRaND neutron spectrometer detected elevated hydrogen concentrations in the outermost meter of the surface of Occator, a young, 90-km- (56-mile) diameter, complex crater located at 19.82 °N where near-surface ice is not expected.
“The excess hydrogen is in the form of water ice,” the researchers said.
“The results confirm Ceres outer crust is ice rich and that water ice can survive within impact ejecta on airless, icy bodies.”
The data imply partial control of the distribution of near-surface ice by large impacts and provide constraints on surface age and regolith thermophysical properties.
“We think that ice has survived in the shallow subsurface during the roughly 20 million years following the formation of Occator,” Dr. Prettyman said.
“Similarities between the global distribution of hydrogen and the pattern of large craters suggest impact processes have delivered ice to the surface elsewhere on Ceres.”
“This process is accompanied by the loss of ice by sublimation caused by heating of the surface by sunlight.”
“The impact that formed Occator would have excavated crustal materials as deep as 10 km (6 miles),” he said.
“So, observed enhancements in the concentration of hydrogen within the crater and ejecta blanket support our interpretation that the crust is ice rich.”
“The findings reinforce the emerging consensus that Ceres is a differentiated body in which ice separated from rock to form an icy outer shell and subcrustal ocean.”
“Smaller, water-rich bodies, including the parent bodies of the carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, may not have experienced differentiation.”
“So, the findings could have implications for the evolution of icy bodies, small and large.”
“More broadly, as an ocean world, Ceres could be habitable and is therefore an attractive target for future missions.”
The results are published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

Capture a “UFO flotilla” during a live broadcast of the ISS
On January 21, 2021, the live broadcast of the ISS (International Space Station) captured a fleet of UFOs flying through and below our atmosphere.
While watching the live broadcast of the ISS on television, the witness noticed that several UFOs were flying through and under the ISS.
It was when he decided to pick up his phone to record the remarkable event.
Then all of a sudden the live feed switched to another camera and stayed off for a while afterwards, something that often happens when UFOs show up.
It is not the first time that the ISS has managed to detect unidentified flying objects near our planet
Last August, the Russian astronaut Iván Vágner, shared some images recorded by him from the International Space Station in which five unidentified flying objects could be seen flying over the south pole of the Earth.
A space enthusiast has asked NASA to clarify whether or not he witnessed the appearance of a UFO while watching the live broadcast of the International Space Station.
Experts consider that it could be Starlink satellites, of the American company SpaceX .. What do you think about it?

A NEWLY DISCOVERED AND HUGE STRUCTURE IN THE MILKY WAY WAS HIDDEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US
A NEWLY DISCOVERED AND HUGE STRUCTURE IN THE MILKY WAY WAS HIDDEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US
Phil Plait / Phil Plait@BadAstronoWe think of the Milky Way galaxy as having well-defined spiral arms swooping around it, starting near the galactic center and smoothly stretching to the outer reaches.
However, a team of astronomers has found a big surprise: By examining stars in a nearby spiral arm they’ve discovered a new structure that sticks out from it like an unruly cowlick, and amazingly one that contains some of the most celebrated and best-studied nebulae in the galaxy. It was hidden in plain sight all along, like finding a secret treasure-filled chamber in a house you’ve lived in all your life.
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy: It has an elongated Tic Tac-shaped center (called the bar) and two major spiral arms sweeping out from it. There are also a number of thinner minor arms as well, including the Orion Arm, which is the one our Sun and solar system are currently in, and another closer to the galactic center called the Sagittarius Arm. These arms are common in galaxies, though how they form and are maintained is an open question. We do know they contain lots of gas clouds (nebulae) that form stars, many of which are hot and luminous, making the spiral arms of a galaxy pretty obvious.
Models of the Milky Way structure show these arms to be well formed and relatively smooth in shape. However this new discovery throws a monkey into that particular wrench.
The astronomers in the new study wanted to look a the detailed structure of the Sagittarius Arm, so they looked at archived data from the Spitzer Space Telescope before the mission was ended to search for Young Stellar Objects: newly born stars, since they preferentially form in arms. They limited their search to the region of the sky in which we see the Sagittarius Arm and identified over a thousand stars, about half of which were clustered into groups.
They then turned to the Gaia mission, which has mapped the entire sky and found highly accurate positions, distances, and motions of well over a billion stars in the galaxy. From this they created a 3D map of the Sagittarius Arm, and that’s when the new structure suddenly popped up.
A new structure has been found in the Milky Way: An elongated feature that sticks out from the thin Sagittarius spiral arm at an abrupt angle and which contains many famous objects like Eagle, Omega, Trifid, and Lagoon Nebulae.
Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
It’s shaped like a shoebox, roughly 3,000 light years long — long enough to stretch into the region of space between spiral arms — and centered about 5,000 light years from the Sun toward the galactic center. The motions of the stars inside it are all consistent with each other, indicating this structure is indeed real and not some perspective effect.
It really does stick out, too. We talk about the pitch angle of a spiral arm, meaning the angle at which it opens (deviating away from a circle, which would have a pitch angle of 0). The Sagittarius arm has a gentle pitch angle of 12°, but this new feature juts away at a sharp 56°.
Four bright and easily observed nebulae are in the new Sagittarius arm spur: the Eagle, Omega, Trifid, and Lagoon Nebulae, seen here (L-R) in infrared by the Spitzer Space Telescope.

I was shocked to read that this structure contains four of the most prominent and celebrated objects in the sky: The Eagle, Omega, Trifid, and Lagoon Nebulae. These are all close and bright star-forming gas clouds, easily visible in binoculars, and ones I’ve spent some time observing myself with my own telescope. The Eagle includes the famous “Pillars of Creation,” a heavily studied object; the others are well observed too, so it’s a little surprising this feature has been missed.
However, distances to objects like nebulae can be hard to determine. This new work identifies stars in the nebulae (the groups mentioned above) and uses their distances as proxies for the distances to the nebulae.

This new structure looks very much like a spur to me, the name given to straight(ish) features that stick out from spiral arms and which are extremely common in other galaxies. However, nothing like this has been seen before in the Milky Way!
That may be a selection effect, an observational bias because we’re inside the Milky Way, making it hard to map out the structure. All those huge clouds of gas and dust in the galaxy block our view in visible light, so we have to go to infrared and radio wavelengths to see them. Even then, getting distances can be tricky, which you need to know to determine where a specific structure might be. Gaia data have revolutionized our ability to do this.
Because of that I suspect that while this structure is a first for the Milky Way, it won’t be the last. I’d bet decent money more will be found as more data are analyzed in this way.
The big question is, what formed this? It’s not clear. If there’s a lot of mass concentrated into one spot in a spiral arm it can become unstable and get stretched out by shear forces, and the math works out for this structure, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what caused it.
More observations are needed to see just what’s in this specific structure and if there are others like it in other arms. If trends can be found then perhaps its formation mechanism can be teased out.
It’s really pretty surprising to find such a big feature that’s so close and so obvious once it’s mapped out, especially one that has so many bright and fantastic nebulae in it.
Just when you think you know a galaxy, something like this comes along. I hope a lot more do, too. The Milky Way is an enormous object. We’ve only just started to begin to explore it.
MILKY WAY HAS BROKEN ARM THAT NEVER HEALED, ASTRONOMERS SAYIn unfortunate news, astronomers checking up on the overall status of our Milky Way galaxy discovered that at some point in ancient history, the galaxy broke one of its arms, and uh never quite healed. Kind of.
If you think of the galaxy’s structure like a skeleton, the break in a spiral NASA scientists found and described in research published last month in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics is like a fragment of bone, jutting off to the side. But as Space.com reports, this is less of cosmic medical imagery (who do we even call about this?) and more of an opportunity to uncover another chapter in the long, mysterious history of our corner of the universe.
NASA, understandably, had a less gruesome perspective on the whole thing, comparing the broken spiral arm to a splinter in a piece of wood in a new press release. This all started after scientists took a new look at data from NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope and the ESA’s Gaia mission, which were being used to try and improve NASA’s current 3D map of the galaxy.
One of the biggest challenges in mapping the cosmos is accurately determining the distance between two objects. It’s not like we can just head out with a tape measurer. And this closer look showed us part of a spiral arm is… actually jutting way off to the side. Probing that “injury” further, then, may answer lingering questions about what happened — did the galaxy assemble itself wrong, or was it somehow damaged? — and why.
“Ultimately, this is a reminder that there are many uncertainties about the large-scale structure of the Milky Way, and we need to look at the details if we want to understand that bigger picture,” University of Wisconsin-Whitewater astrophysicist and study coauthor Robert Benjamin said in the press release. “This structure is a small piece of the Milky Way, but it could tell us something significant about the galaxy as a whole.”
In the meantime, for the love of god, someone call a galaxy doctor.

Kameleonrobot kan van kleur veranderen
Een nieuwe robot kan van kleur veranderen zoals een kameleon. Dat doet die door een combinatie van nanodraadnetwerken en kleursensoren te gebruiken.
Artificiële camouflage imiteert de natuurlijke camouflage die te vinden is bij verschillende diersoorten. Een van de voorwaarden om artificiële camouflage goed te laten werken, is dat het een grote hoeveelheid kleuren moet kunnen weergeven en op bevel van kleur kan veranderen. Tot nu toe was dat een moeilijke opgave.
Seung Hwan Ko is professor aan het laboratorium voor toegepaste nano- en thermowetenschappen aan de Nationale Universiteit van Seoul in Korea. Hij past een nieuwe strategie1 toe door gebruik te maken van vloeibare kristallagen met nanodraadnetwerken. De kristallagen vangen licht op en reflecteren dat als verschillende kleuren. Samen met kleurensensoren en terugkoppelingscontrolesystemen maakten de professor een kunstmatige kameleonhuid en zette die op een robot. Het resultaat is een robot die in real time van kleur kan veranderen.
Er is nog meer onderzoek nodig om verschillende soorten textuur te kunnen herkennen en correct weer te kunnen geven. Deze ontdekking kan gevolgen hebben voor de volgende generatie van draagbare camouflagetechnologie.
Hoe zal België eruitzien als de aarde blijft opwarmen?
Wat betekent het voor België als de aardopwarming zich verder doorzet? Klimatoloog en glacioloog Philippe Huybrechts geeft antwoord. 'De ergste gevolgen voelen we over honderd jaar. Zo ongelooflijk ver is dat niet.'
In een spraakmakend rapport bevestigde het IPCC onlangs de link tussen klimaatverandering en weersextremen, zoals hittegolven, extreme neerslag en droogte. Philippe Huybrechts, professor klimatologie en glaciologie aan de Vrije Universiteit Brussel, werkte mee aan het rapport.
‘Ongeveer tot het midden van de eeuw ligt dat al vast. Wat we ook doen met de uitstoot van broeikgasgassen, tot 2050 ligt het klimaat al vast. Daarna, aan het einde van de eeuw, zal het een groot verschil maken of we gestopt zijn broeikasgassen uit te stoten of niet. Op het einde van het IPCC-rapport vind je er een interactieve atlas waar je kunt zien wat de projecties zijn per regio. Dat is dan niet specifiek voor België, maar voor de regio West- en Centraal-Europa.’
‘De atlas wordt voorgesteld ten opzichte van het globale warming level. Dat is de globale temperatuursverandering ten opzichte van de periode 1850-1900. Vandaag zitten we op een warming level van 1,1 graad. De andere belangrijke levels staan op 1,5 graden, 2 graden en 4 graden.'
‘De temperatuur zal in West-Europa altijd meer stijgen dan het globale gemiddelde. Dat komt omdat West-Europa vasteland is. Land warmt nu eenmaal sneller op dan de oceaan. In de projecties liggen we altijd ongeveer een graad hoger dan het gemiddelde. Hoeveel de temperatuur exact zal stijgen, hangt af van hoe we omgaan met broeikasgassen.’
‘We zullen inderdaad vaker extremen zien, en ze zullen intenser zijn. De patronen die we zien bij een opwarming van 1 graad, zien we ook bij 2 en 4 graden, alleen veel sterker.’
'Hoe warmer de temperatuur van de lucht, hoe meer neerslag die kan bevatten'
‘Een hittegolf die in de 19de eeuw één keer om de vijftig jaar voorkwam, zal bij een opwarming van 1 graad al vijf keer in vijftig jaar tijd voorkomen. Voor een opwarming van 2 graden komt die bijna veertien keer in vijftig jaar voor. Bij een opwarming van 4 graden is dat nog meer: bijna veertig keer per halve eeuw.’
‘De hittegolven worden intenser. Een hittegolf die maar één keer in vijftig jaar voorkomt, is bij 1 graad globale opwarming al 1,2 graden warmer, maar bij een algemene opwarming van 4 graden worden de hittegolven liefst 5,3 graden warmer.’
‘Nee, we krijgen minder vorst en minder koudegolven. Dat is vandaag al het geval, en het zal zich in alle scenario's doorzetten. We krijgen meer hittegolven en minder koudegolven.’
‘De seizoenen worden bepaald door de baan van de aarde rond de zon. Dat zal niet veranderen. Zelfs als de aarde met 3 graden opwarmt, dan nog zul je een temperatuurverschil zien tussen zomer en winter. Het is trouwens ook niet uitgesloten dat er geen koudere winters meer zullen zijn. Misschien dat er ooit nog een Elfstedentocht komt, maar de kans wordt alsmaar kleiner.’
‘In deze contreien zullen we weinig verschil zien in de gemiddelde jaarlijkse hoeveelheid neerslag. Dat is niet zo in Noord-Europa, waar er veel meer neerslag zal zijn. En in Zuid-Europa zal er net veel minder neerslag zijn. Voor ons is het een nuloperatie, al wordt de neerslag wel anders verdeeld. We krijgen er meer in de winter en minder in de zomer. In beide gevallen zullen we een verschil zien van ongeveer 10 procent. We krijgen langere droge periodes, maar als het eens regent, zullen de buien heviger zijn.’
'De dagelijkse maximale hoeveelheid neerslag zal toenemen. De extremen worden dus extremer. Ze zullen ook vaker voorkomen. Een zogeheten heavy precipitation event dat maar één keer voorkwam tussen 1850 en 1900 komt nu al 1,3 keer meer voor. Bij een opwarming van 2 graden zal dat 1,7 keer zijn. En bij een opwarming van 4 graden stijgt dat cijfer tot 2,7.’
'De ergste gevolgen voelen we over 100 jaar. Zo ongelooflijk ver is dat niet. De mensen die nu geboren worden, maken het mogelijk nog mee'
‘De intensiteit versterkt ook. Dat is een puur fysisch verschijnsel. Het heeft te maken met de hoeveelheid water die de lucht kan bevatten. Hoe warmer de luchttemperatuur, hoe meer vocht die kan bevatten. Die heavy precipitation events komen dan niet alleen vaker voor, ze worden ook natter.’
‘Ja, het risico op overstromingen stijgt. Ik heb het dan wel over onze regio. In het Middellandse Zeegebied is dat bijvoorbeeld niet zo. Daar gaat alles sterk verdrogen.’
‘Uit waarnemingen blijkt dat het niveau aan de Belgische kust ongeveer evenveel zal stijgen als het globale gemiddelde. Sinds 1900 is het globale zeeniveau met ongeveer 20 cm gestegen, dat is ook aan onze kust zo. Bij zwaar stormweer zal het niveau nog hoger liggen, wat het overstromingsrisico verder vergroot.’
‘Als we bij een globale opwarming van 1,5 graden kunnen blijven, zal het zeeniveau deze eeuw nog met zo’n 30 centimeter stijgen. Als de aarde sterker opwarmt, dan kan het niveau stijgen met 1 meter, of meer. In het allerslechtste geval begint tegen het einde van deze eeuw de West-Antarctische ijskap in te storten. Dan kan het zeeniveau met 2 meter stijgen. Maar dat is geen deel van de projecties.'
‘Het zeeniveau reageert langzaam op klimaatverandering. De stijging zal daarom nog honderden of duizenden jaren blijven doorgaan. Als we de opwarming kunnen beperken tot 1,5 graden, dan stijgt het zeeniveau aan het einde van de eeuw weliswaar met ongeveer 30 centimeter, maar na tweeduizend jaar zal het alsnog zijn gestegen met 2 tot 6 meter.'
‘En als de opwarming zich doorzet, dan zal het water nog verder stijgen. Dat is de verandering die mij het meeste zorgen baart. De stijging zal traag gaan, maar ze zal niet te stoppen zijn - wat we ook doen. Alleen een volgende ijstijd kan daar dan verandering in brengen.’
‘Met de huidige dijken hebben we niet zoveel overschot. Misschien een halve meter. Dijkverhogingen en andere maatregelen zijn hoe dan ook noodzakelijk.'
‘We kunnen er zelfs in Vlaanderen mee worden geconfronteerd. Dat gebied is minder bosrijk, maar er is genoeg heide die snel vuur kan vatten.’
‘Er zijn drie factoren die moeten samenspelen om een bos gevoelig te maken voor brand. Het moet heel warm zijn. Het moet lang droog geweest zijn. En er moet een felle wind zijn. De eerste twee elementen zullen vaker voorkomen in de toekomst. Dat is al voldoende om het risico op bosbranden te doen stijgen.’
'Vlaanderen heeft niet zoveel bos, maar wel heide die snel in brand vliegt'
‘Het probleem is wel iets ingewikkelder dan dat. Het is niet dat een bos brand vat gewoon omdat het droog staat. Er moet ook een vonk zijn en dat is vaak het gevolg van mensen. Kijk maar naar wat er recent gebeurde in Brecht, nadat het Belgische leger er oefende met brandbare tracers. De hele heide vatte vlam.’
‘Goed bosbeheer kan het risico op bosbranden reduceren. Dat kan, bijvoorbeeld, door droge takken op te rapen. Ook corridors in de bossen maken helpt. Op die manier kan het vuur niet zo gemakkelijk overslaan naar andere delen van het bos. Dat is zo in de Ardennen.’
‘België is maar een klein land. We moeten globaal actie ondernemen. Als we er wereldwijd in slagen om tegen 2050 geen broeikasgassen meer uit te stoten en misschien zelfs een negatieve emissie realiseren door CO2 uit de lucht te halen, dan kunnen we de opwarming beperken tot 1,5 graden. Nu zitten we op 1,1 graden - veel marge is er niet meer. Bij een opwarming van 1,5 graden wordt het iets warmer dan vandaag, iets extremer. Je ziet nu al hoeveel schade dat kan veroorzaken: vorige zomer droogde alles op, en deze zomer loopt alles onder.’
‘Als we naar een opwarming van 4 graden zouden gaan, komen we in een hele andere wereld terecht. Die kan ik mij niet goed voorstellen. Dan wordt het in ieder geval erg. We krijgen zeer extreem weer in alle richtingen. Vooral het zeeniveau wordt dan een probleem. Ik denk dat we Vlaanderen dan uiteindelijk zullen moeten ontruimen. Grote stukken van de wereld zullen onleefbaar worden door de combinatie van zeer extreme hitte en hoge vochtigheid.’
'België is maar een kleine speler. Er moet globaal actie ondernomen worden'
‘En, ja, dat is pas over 100 jaar, maar de mensen die nu geboren worden, leven waarschijnlijk nog in 2100. Zo ongelooflijk ver is het niet.’
‘Ik zal daar het volgende op zeggen: ik denk niet dat we er gaan geraken door alleen een beroep te doen op individuele verantwoordelijkheid. Minder vlees eten en met de fiets gaan, kan natuurlijk geen kwaad, maar dat is niet de grote oplossing.’
‘Om van die uitstoot af te geraken, hebben we vooral een sterk beleid nodig. We hebben een overheid nodig die regels oplegt en ons gedrag stuurt. De mensen moeten er wel ontvankelijk voor zijn. Ze moeten meewerken in het verhaal. Ik zeg altijd dat het meest effectieve is om op de juiste mensen te stemmen, degenen met het krachtigste klimaatbeleid. Door er een individuele verantwoordelijkheid van te maken, geef je mensen alleen maar schuldgevoelens. Mensen maken keuzes die voor hen het meest voordelig of gemakkelijk zijn. De overheid moet dus de juiste keuzes het meest aantrekkelijk te maken. Maak, bijvoorbeeld, de treinverbindingen beter en goedkoper zodat er minder met vliegtuigen wordt gevlogen.’
‘Dat gaat over zoveel zaken. Als we kijken naar België: waar zit de grote uitstoot? Die zit in transport, in de verwarming van de huizen, in de opwekking van elektriciteit en in de industrie. In de industrie wordt dat aangepakt door er een prijs op te plakken met de Koolstofmarkt. Als je warmte met fossiele brandstoffen opwekt, moet je daar een boete voor betalen. Dat stimuleert om het productieproces zodanig te veranderen dat je die boete kan vermijden.’

A Super Civilization Existed in Prehistory, then Something BIG Happened
Intelligent people lived up to 100,000 years ago.
Evidence found in ancient documents maps appears to suggest the existence in remote times, before the rise of the known cultures, of a truly worldwide culture.
Now we know what happened to them and where we might find remnants of their culture!

What If We are Being Watched By God-Like Aliens?
Looking up at the night sky and its beauty can be baffling and intriguing experience for many.
But aside from this beauty, there can be something scary out there? Or maybe not scary. As Arthur C. Clarke said, “We are either alone in this universe or we are not.

Bizarre Beasts: Some of the Strangest Creatures in Cryptozoology
“What do you think is the strangest-looking cryptid creature?” That was pretty much the question put to me a few weeks ago while doing radio. It’s a good question! After all, there are multiple creatures in the field of Cryptozoology. I have to admit, though that some are much stranger than others. Let’s have a look at some of them. Their weirdness just might surprise you! Sometimes a monster is described as being so incredibly strange that we can do very little beyond than relate the facts – chiefly because the available facts are so strange and near-unfathomable, in terms of what they might represent. A perfect example of just such a uniquely weird case dates back to the 1950s. In terms of the location, all we know for sure is that it was somewhere in the vicinity of Falls City, Richardson County, Nebraska. As for the witness, we know him only as “John Hanks,” an admitted pseudonym that the man in question chose to use to protect his real identity. When you read the details of his experience, you will undoubtedly realize why the man was determined to protect his real name from prying, inquiring eyes. It’s a case that was carefully investigated by one of the world’s foremost experts on bizarre, flying beasts, Ken Gerhard.
It was late one night, at some point in the latter part of 1956, said Hanks, when he came face to face with a true giant; a creature in excess of nine feet in height, one that was humanoid in shape, but which most certainly could never be termed a member of the human race. That much, at least, we can ascertain from Hanks’ description. Ken Gerhard says, with a great deal of justification, that “[Hanks’] description of the creature sounds reminiscent of something out of an H.P. Lovecraft story.” Ken is not wrong in suggesting that Hanks’ monster would have found itself right at home in the pages of one of the legendary horror maestro’s novels. In fact, Gerhard is right on target. Hanks’ nightmarish thing had a pair of fifteen-foot-wide wings that, rather oddly, appeared to be made of bright, shining, aluminum! It was soon gone, high into the sky, and gone. That case has to be near the top of the weird list!
Dragons on the Loose!
An undeniably odd beast with paranormal abilities is the Bunyip. It’s a “thing” that hides in the swamps of Australia. Back in the mid-1800s, the staff of the Geelong Advertiser gave its readers a description of the weird-whatsit: “The Bunyip, then, is represented as uniting the characteristics of a bird and of an alligator. It has a head resembling an emu, with a long bill, at the extremity of which is a transverse projection on each side, with serrated edges like the bone of the stingray. Its body and legs partake of the nature of the alligator. The hind legs are remarkably thick and strong, and the fore legs are much longer, but still of great strength. The extremities are furnished with long claws, but the blacks say its usual method of killing its prey is by hugging it to death. When in the water it swims like a frog, and when on shore it walks on its hind legs with its head erect, in which position it measures twelve or thirteen feet in height.”
Beware of the Bunyip
And, finally: make mention of UFOs and it will likely conjure up imagery of flying saucers and diminutive, black-eyed, large headed ETs, and alien abductions. At least some UFOs, however, may have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with visitors from far away solar-systems and galaxies. Welcome to the world of a man named Trevor James Constable. Having investigated the UFO phenomenon extensively, Constable penned two books on the subject. They Live in the Sky was published in 1958 and Sky Creatures followed two decades later. In deeply studying the UFO phenomenon, Constable came to a fascinating conclusion concerning what he believed to be the truth of the mystery surrounding flying saucers. Constable’s conclusion was that UFOs are not nuts-and-bolts craft from distant worlds, but living creatures that inhabit the highest levels of the Earth’s atmosphere. While many UFO investigators scoffed at Constable’s undeniably unique ideas, none could deny that his theory was well thought out. To be sure, the field of Cryptozoology is filled with bizarre and mysterious beasts!

Anunnaki Kings 2021 | The Devil. War Of The Gods – Dragons & Serpents In The Bible via The 5th Kind
Annunaki – 450,000 years ago our ancestors descended from the heavens to engineer the first human beings. To us they were Giants that ruled as Gods over mankind. Now new evidence and scientific research acknowledges their existence on earth but reveals when they will return.
The truth of their real origin and purpose is much more bizarre and amazing than anything previously believed. From the Garden of Eden to the Great Flood; from the God of the Bible to the secrets of Enoch all shall be revealed. 2017 Philip Gardener
